[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-51703 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] However, when conventional nap systems are applied to a highly sealed nap room, the functional ingredients convect within the room, and even if a small amount of the functional ingredient such as a fragrance is introduced into the air, a certain amount of lingering odor may be generated. Therefore, while ventilating the room when it is in use can reduce the lingering odor, there is a problem in that the effectiveness of the functional ingredients is weakened when the room is in use.
[0005] Therefore, the present disclosure aims to provide a private booth that can suppress lingering odors after use and prevent the effects of functional ingredients from being reduced due to ventilation. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] A private booth according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a private room having at least walls, a ceiling, and a floor panel that form a private space; an airflow generating unit having a direction-adjusting outlet that blows air in a predetermined direction in the private space; a functional ingredient introducer that introduces functional ingredients into the air blown out from the direction-adjusting outlet; a first air intake and exhaust port that connects the private space to the outside of the private room; and a ventilation device that exchanges the air in the private space with the air outside the private room through a second air intake and exhaust port, wherein a first straight line connecting the first air intake and exhaust port and the second air intake and exhaust port does not intersect with the blowing direction of the air blown out from the direction-adjusting outlet, and there is a time when the airflow generating unit and the ventilation device operate simultaneously.
[0007] In addition, a private booth according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a private room having at least walls, a ceiling, and a floor that form a private space; an airflow generating unit having a direction-adjusting outlet that blows air in a predetermined direction in the private space; a functional ingredient introducer that introduces functional ingredients into the air blown out from the direction-adjusting outlet; a ventilation device that exchanges the air in the private space with the air outside the private room; and a control device that controls the operation of the ventilation device, wherein the control device stops the operation of the ventilation device when the air into which the functional ingredients have been introduced is blown out from the direction-adjusting outlet. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
[0015] (Embodiment) <Configuration: 1 private booth> First, the configuration of a private booth 1 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0016] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a private booth 1 according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the private booth 1 with the outer wall removed. In FIG. 2, wall portion 11f is not shown except for first wall portion 11f1 and second wall portion 11f2. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the private booth 1 according to an embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a bird's-eye view of the private space R of the private booth according to an embodiment. FIG. 5 is a side view showing a direction adjustment air outlet 16a in the private booth 1 according to an embodiment. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the private booth 1 cut along line VI-VI in FIG. 5.
[0017] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the private booth 1 is a rest room that forms a private space R that houses a bed 30 for a user to take a nap, sleep, or rest (break). By taking a nap, sleep, or rest in the private space R, the user can reduce drowsiness and relieve fatigue. In other words, the private booth 1 allows the user to take a nap, sleep, or rest. When the user starts using the private booth 1, the user can start controlling the lighting system 3 by inputting an instruction into the operating device 40.
[0018] The private booth 1 can illuminate the private space R. For example, when the private booth 1 is used as a nap room by a user, when the usage time is set, lighting is provided to help the user fall asleep, to help the user take a nap, and to wake up a user who is taking a nap.
[0019] Furthermore, when a user uses the private booth 1 as a nap room, once the usage time is set, the first air intake and exhaust vent 5, second air intake and exhaust vent 20b, blower 62, aroma diffuser 63, ventilation device 64, etc., supply air from outside the private booth 1 to the private space R, introduce functional ingredients into the air supplied to the private space R, and exhaust air from the private space R to the outside. Functional ingredients include fragrance ingredients such as air fresheners, negative ions, moisture, etc. In this way, the private booth 1 can adjust the air quality of the private space R. The air quality refers to the temperature, humidity, amount of fragrance ingredients, etc. of the air in the private space R.
[0020] The private booth 1 is also provided with casters 12. Therefore, the wheels of the casters 12 rotate, allowing the private booth 1 to move freely. Furthermore, the casters 12 can be locked to stop the wheels from rotating and restrict movement of the private booth 1. The casters 12 are an example of a moving part.
[0021] Next, the external configuration of the private booth 1 will be described.
[0022] The private booth 1 is sized to fit on an elevator. Specifically, the external dimensions of the private booth 1, that is, the length (width) of the private booth 1 along the Y-axis direction × the length (height) of the private booth 1 along the X-axis direction × the length (height) of the private booth 1 along the Z-axis direction, are 1100 mm or less × 2100 mm or less × 1950 mm or less.
[0023] Furthermore, the size of the private booth 1 is set to allow a user to lie down in a normal standing position. Specifically, the minimum values of the external dimensions of the private booth 10, i.e., the length of the private booth 1 along the Y-axis (width) × the length of the private booth 1 along the X-axis × the length of the private booth 1 along the Z-axis (height), are 600 mm or more × 1900 mm or more × 1000 mm or more. In other words, by setting the minimum width of the private booth 1 to 600 mm or more, it can be set to approximately 50 cm or more, which is the shoulder width of a user. Furthermore, by setting the minimum length of the private booth 1 to 1900 mm or more, it can be set to allow a user with a height of 190 cm to lie down in the private booth 1. Furthermore, by setting the minimum height of the private booth 1 to 1000 mm or more, it can be set to approximately 90 cm or more, which is the seated height of a user.
[0024] Next, the specific configuration of the private booth 1 will be described.
[0025] The private booth 1 includes a private room 10, a duct 20, an airflow generating unit 16, a bed 30, and a lighting system 3.
[0026] [Private room 10] The private room 10 is provided with a doorway 19 through which users enter and exit. In this embodiment, the doorway 19 is located on the negative Y-axis side of the private room 10 and in the center of the private room 10 in the X-axis direction. The doorway 19 is provided with a door 18 that can open and close the doorway 19. The door 18 is a sliding door. Therefore, the doorway 19 is opened by sliding the door 18 in the positive X-axis direction, and the doorway 19 is closed by sliding the door 18 in the negative X-axis direction.
[0027] The private room 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped housing formed to a size that allows a user to sleep. The private room 10 forms a private space R where the user can rest, such as sleeping. Since a long bed 30 is placed in the private room 10, the private space R is long along the X-axis direction according to the size of the bed 30.
[0028] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the private room 10 also houses a bed 30, a duct 20, an operating device 40, a lighting fixture 70, a control device 60, an acoustic device 61, a blower 62, an aroma diffuser 63, a ventilation device 64, and a power supply unit 80.

[0033] The casters 12 can rotate when the compartment 10 moves relative to the ground, or can be locked to prevent the wheels from rotating.
[0034] The floorboard 11b is long along the X-axis direction. The floorboard 11b is located between the bed 30 and the doorway 19 of the private room 10, and is disposed on the base 11a of the framework 11 and the plurality of joists 11a1 in the second space R2.
[0035] The plurality of frameworks 11 each include a frame-shaped base 11a, a plurality of pillars 11c, and an upper frame 11d.
[0036] The base 11a is a rectangular frame body, and is disposed vertically below the private room 10 (in the negative Z-axis direction) so as to be substantially parallel to the XY plane. A plurality of casters 12 are provided on the end face of the base 11a on the negative Z-axis side, at least in a one-to-one correspondence with each corner. Therefore, the base 11a is disposed so as to face the ground via the casters 12.
[0037] A plurality of joists 11a1 are connected to the base 11a. A floorboard 11b is provided on the base 11a and the plurality of joists 11a1.
[0038] The multiple pillars 11c are elongated and extend along the Z-axis direction from each corner of the base 11a, supporting the upper frame 11d. The multiple pillars 11c include a first pillar 11c1, a second pillar 11c2, a third pillar 11c3, a fourth pillar 11c4, a fifth pillar 11c5, and a sixth pillar 11c6. The first pillar 11c1, the fourth pillar 11c4, the fifth pillar 11c5, and the sixth pillar 11c6 are arranged at the four corners of the private room 10.
[0039] The first pillar 11c1 is disposed at a corner of the base 11a, which is the end of the base 11a in the negative X-axis direction and the end of the base 11a in the negative Y-axis direction. The second pillar 11c2 is adjacent to the first pillar 11c1 and is disposed further in the positive X-axis direction than the first pillar 11c1. The third pillar 11c3 is adjacent to the first pillar 11c1 and is disposed further in the positive Y-axis direction than the first pillar 11c1. The first pillar 11c1, the second pillar 11c2, the third pillar 11c3, and the multiple wall portions 11f connected to these pillars form a third space R3. The fourth pillar 11c4 is disposed at a corner of the base 11a, which is the end of the base 11a in the negative X-axis direction and the end of the base 11a in the positive Y-axis direction. The fifth pillar 11c5 is disposed at a corner of the base 11a, which is the end of the base 11a in the positive X-axis direction and the end of the base 11a in the positive Y-axis direction. The sixth column 11c6 is disposed at a corner of the base 11a, which is the end on the positive X-axis direction and the end on the negative Y-axis direction.
[0040] A wall portion 11f is arranged between two adjacent pillars 11c of the plurality of pillars 11c. In this embodiment, the plurality of wall portions 11f are provided between the two adjacent pillars 11c. The plurality of wall portions 11f are also arranged around the bed 30. The plurality of wall portions 11f form the outer contour of the private room 10 and are partitions that define the private room space R. Therefore, the plurality of wall portions 11f form the private room space R as a closed space.
[0041] The multiple wall portions 11f include a first wall portion 11f1, a second wall portion 11f2, a third wall portion 11f3, a fourth wall portion 11f4, a fifth wall portion 11f5, a sixth wall portion 11f6, and a seventh wall portion 11f7. The first wall portion 11f1, the second wall portion 11f2, and the third wall portion 11f3 are arranged around the blower 62, the aroma diffuser 63, etc. The first wall portion 11f1, the second wall portion 11f2, the third wall portion 11f3, the fourth wall portion 11f4, the fifth wall portion 11f5, the sixth wall portion 11f6, and the seventh wall portion 11f7 are examples of the wall portions 11f.
[0042] Specifically, first wall portion 11f1 is disposed between first pillar 11c1 and second pillar 11c2. In addition, first wall portion 11f1 is formed with intake port 17 that can draw in outside air when driven by blower 62. Intake port 17 is provided on the outer wall of compartment 10 so as to face the outside of compartment 10.
[0043] The second wall portion 11f2 is disposed between the first pillar 11c1 and the third pillar 11c3.
[0044] Third wall portion 11f3 is located between the head of the user when sleeping in bed 30 and second lighting device 72, and is positioned on the foot side of the user when sleeping in bed 30. Therefore, third wall portion 11f3 can block light so that light emitted from second lighting device 72 does not directly illuminate the head of the user when sleeping in bed 30. In addition, third wall portion 11f3 is provided with airflow generating unit 16 that introduces air via blower 62 and aroma diffuser 63.
[0045] The fourth wall portion 11f4 has a surface perpendicular to the surface of the fifth wall portion 11f5. The fourth wall portion 11f4 is disposed between the third pillar 11c3 and the fourth pillar 11c4 so that the surface is parallel to the YZ plane.
[0046] The fifth wall 11f5 has a surface perpendicular to the surface of the fourth wall 11f4 and is disposed to face the seventh wall 11f7. The fifth wall 11f5 is disposed between the fourth pillar 11c4 and the fifth pillar 11c5.
[0047] The surface of the sixth wall portion 11f6 is perpendicular to the surface of the fifth wall portion 11f5. The sixth wall portion 11f6 is disposed between the fifth pillar 11c5 and the sixth pillar 11c6. The sixth wall portion 11f6 is provided with a first air intake and exhaust port 5. The first air intake and exhaust port 5 forms an air flow path that connects the private room space R with the outside. In this embodiment, the first air intake and exhaust port 5 is provided in the sixth wall portion 11f6, but it may be provided in a wall portion 11f other than the sixth wall portion 11f6.
[0048] The surface of the seventh wall portion 11f7 is perpendicular to the surface of the sixth wall portion 11f6. The seventh wall portion 11f7 is disposed between the sixth pillar 11c6 and the entrance / exit 19. An operating device 40 is disposed on the seventh wall portion 11f7.
[0049] 2, a rectangular upper frame 11d is disposed vertically above (in the positive direction of the Z axis) the multiple wall portions 11f. That is, the upper frame 11d is disposed vertically above the compartment 10 so as to be oriented substantially parallel to the XY plane. In this embodiment, the two upper frames 11d are supported by multiple pillars 11c.
[0050] The upper frame 11d is provided with a ceiling 13. Between the two upper frames 11d and on the upper surface of the ceiling 13, a duct 20, a second air intake / exhaust port 20b connected to one opening of the duct 20, and a ventilation device 64 are provided.
[0051] [Duct 20] The duct 20 connects the private space R with the outside of the private room 10. A ventilation device 64 is provided on the flow path of the duct 20. When the ventilation device 64 is driven, air sucked in from the second air intake and exhaust port 20b is guided to the other side opening 20a of the duct 20 and exhausted to the outside of the private room 10. In addition, air outside the private room 10 sucked in from the other side opening 20a is guided to the second air intake and exhaust port 20b of the duct 20 and supplied to the private space R.
[0052] The second air intake and exhaust port 20b is located on the ceiling 13 on the side of the lower body of the user when the user is asleep in bed 30. By locating the second air intake and exhaust port 20b away from the user's head, the user can prevent the intake sound or the supply sound from being heard.
[0053] Furthermore, the second air intake and exhaust port 20b connects the private space R with the outside of the private room 10. Therefore, the second air intake and exhaust port 20b can exchange the air in the private space R with the air outside the private room 10. In other words, when the ventilation device 64 is driven, the second air intake and exhaust port 20b can exhaust the air inside the private room 10 to the outside of the private room 10 via the duct 20, or supply the air outside the private room 10 to the inside of the private room 10 via the duct 20.
[0054] [Airflow generating part 16] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, airflow generation unit 16 is disposed on the ceiling 13 side of third wall portion 11f3. Airflow generation unit 16 has direction adjustment outlet 16a that blows air in a predetermined direction into private room space R. Direction adjustment outlet 16a is an outlet grill that can adjust the air blowing direction by adjusting the position of louver 16b. Direction adjustment outlet 16a has louver 16b. Louver 16b is provided at direction adjustment outlet 16a of air flow path 16c that connects air intake 17 to direction adjustment outlet 16a via blower 62 and aroma diffuser 63. Louver 16b is disposed at direction adjustment outlet 16a in an orientation that is inclined downward along the positive direction of the X-axis with respect to the XY plane. Therefore, the air blown out from direction adjustment outlet 16a is adjusted to a predetermined direction according to the orientation of louver 16b. Furthermore, the position of louver 16b can be changed manually, but may also be automatically changed or fixed under the control of control device 60. For this reason, the position of louver 16b disclosed in Fig. 6 is merely an example and is not limited to this embodiment.
[0055] Furthermore, airflow generating unit 16 can supply air by blowing it through blower 62 and aroma diffuser 63 into private room space R. Specifically, airflow generating unit 16 can blow out air containing the functional components from direction adjustment outlet 16a by allowing aroma diffuser 63 to introduce functional components into air drawn in from the outside by blower 62 through intake port 17.
[0056] [Bed 30] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the bed 30 allows a user to sit and sleep. The bed 30 is long along the X-axis direction in the first space R1. The bed 30 in this embodiment is supported by multiple pillars 11c, but may also be placed on a base 11a and multiple joists 11a1.
[0057] The bed 30 is set so that the user's head is located on the positive side of the X axis of the bed 30 and the user's feet are located on the negative side of the X axis of the bed 30.
[0058] The bed 30 of this embodiment also includes a chair that transforms to function as a bed 30. Specifically, the bed 30 may have a seat on which a user sits, a footrest rotatably connected to the seat, a backrest rotatably connected to the seat, and a headrest connected to the backrest. In this case, a chair may function as the bed 30 with the footrest, seat, backrest, and headrest arranged in a straight line. The bed 30 of this embodiment may also be tiltable and may transform like a chair. In the case of a chair, the illuminance on the surface of the backrest and the illuminance on the surface of the headrest when the user leans their back against the backrest and places their head on the headrest correspond to the bed surface illuminance. Here, the bed surface illuminance is the illuminance on the surface of the bed 30 when at least one of the first lighting fixture 71 and the second lighting fixture 72 is turned on.
[0059] [Lighting System 3] 2 and 3, when a user inputs the usage time via the operating device 40, the lighting system 3 illuminates the surface of the bed 30 on which the user will sleep, thereby executing a lighting mode that puts the user to sleep at the start of the usage time, a lighting mode that puts the user to take a nap, a lighting mode that wakes up the napping user at the end of the usage time, etc. In other words, by executing each lighting mode, the lighting system 3 can provide a lighting environment that supports the user in falling asleep and waking up the user who has fallen asleep.
[0060] The lighting system 3 includes a lighting fixture 70, an operating device 40, a control device 60, an acoustic device 61, a blower 62, an aroma diffuser 63, a ventilation device 64, and a power supply unit 80. Note that the lighting system 3 does not necessarily have to include at least one of the acoustic device 61 and the lighting fixture 70.
[0061] [Lighting fixture 70] Lighting fixture 70 can illuminate private room space R. In the present embodiment, first lighting fixture 71 and second lighting fixture 72 are provided as lighting fixture 70. Lighting fixture 70 is a general term for first lighting fixture 71 and second lighting fixture 72. First lighting fixture 71 may be a lighting device for waking up, and second lighting fixture 72 may be a lighting device for falling asleep.
[0062] Furthermore, first lighting fixture 71 and second lighting fixture 72 have a dimming function that changes the light intensity and a color adjustment function that changes the color temperature. Therefore, first lighting fixture 71 and second lighting fixture 72 can change the light output or color temperature by receiving a lighting control instruction from control device 60 or a direct instruction from operating device 40. For example, first lighting fixture 71 and second lighting fixture 72 perform dimming control and color adjustment control by receiving a lighting control instruction from control device 60 based on the usage time. This allows first lighting fixture 71 and second lighting fixture 72 to change the luminance (brightness) and color temperature during the usage time.
[0063] The first lighting fixture 71 is disposed vertically above the upper body of the user when the user is asleep in bed 30. Specifically, the first lighting fixture 71 is mounted on the ceiling 13. The first lighting fixture 71 is disposed so as to be embedded in the ceiling 13. The first lighting fixture 71 may be disposed within the private room space R.
[0064] The second lighting fixture 72 is installed at the foot side when the user is sleeping in the bed 30. As shown in Fig. 4, the second lighting fixture 72 is arranged in the third space R3. When the second lighting fixture 72 is turned on, the light emitted from the second lighting fixture 72 is emitted from the opening 11h, and is further reflected by the wall 11f of the private room 10 and the bed 30, etc., and is irradiated toward the head side.
[0065] It should be noted that only one of the first lighting fixture 71 and the second lighting fixture 72 may be provided in the private booth 1.
[0066] [Operation device 40] Operating device 40 allows a user to individually operate first lighting device 71, second lighting device 72, sound device 61, air blower 62, aroma diffuser 63, and ventilation device 64. In other words, operating device 40 outputs instructions operated by the user to control device 60, which causes control device 60 to activate or stop the activation of first lighting device 71, second lighting device 72, sound device 61, air blower 62, aroma diffuser 63, and ventilation device 64. Operating device 40 may only be capable of operating at least one of lighting device 70, sound device 61, air blower 62, aroma diffuser 63, and ventilation device 64.
[0067] Furthermore, the operation device 40 can receive input from a user. For example, when the user inputs a usage time into the operation device 40, the operation device 40 outputs usage time information, which is information indicating the usage time input by the user, to the control device 60.
[0068] The operating device 40 is also arranged on the seventh wall 11f7 facing the second space R2. In other words, when the user is lying down on the bed 30, the operating device 40 is arranged on the head side. This allows the user to operate the operating device 40 while lying down. The operating device 40 may be arranged in one or more of the first space R1, the second space R2, and the third space R3. In other words, a plurality of operating devices 40 may be provided in the private booth 1.
[0069] [Control device 60] Control device 60 can control first lighting device 71, second lighting device 72, sound device 61, blower 62, aroma diffuser 63, and ventilation device 64 in response to instructions from operating device 40.
[0070] First, the control of lighting fixture 70 by control device 60 will be described.
[0071] For example, when a user operates operating device 40 to input an instruction to operate lighting device 70, control device 60 receives an instruction to control the operation of lighting device 70 from operating device 40. For example, control device 60 receives an instruction from operating device 40 to start controlling first lighting device 71 and second lighting device 72 from a usage time indicated in the usage time information. Control device 60 generates a lighting control instruction based on the usage time information indicated in the received instruction and outputs the generated lighting control instruction to first lighting device 71 and second lighting device 72. Specifically, control device 60 controls first lighting device 71 and second lighting device 72 by outputting the lighting control instruction to first lighting device 71 and second lighting device 72 in accordance with the length of the usage time indicated in the received usage time information.
[0072] Next, the control of the acoustic device 61 by the control device 60 will be described.
[0073] For example, when a user operates the operation device 40 to input an instruction to drive the sound device 61, the control device 60 acquires an instruction to control the operation of the sound device 61 from the operation device 40. The control device 60 causes the sound device 61 to play music in accordance with the acquired instruction. As a result, the sound device 61 plays music, and the played music is output into the private space R. Furthermore, by acquiring an instruction from the operation device 40, the control device 60 can change the music played by the sound device 61 or control the volume of the music output by the sound device 61.
[0074] Next, the control of the air blower 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 by the control device 60 will be described.
[0075] For example, when a user operates the operation device 40 to input an instruction to operate the air freshener 62 and the aroma diffuser 63, the control device 60 acquires an instruction to control the operation of the air freshener 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 from the operation device 40. When the user operates the operation device 40 to input an instruction to change the air freshener 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 from an OFF state to an ON state, the control device 60 turns on the power of the air freshener 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 in accordance with the instruction acquired from the operation device 40. As a result, the air freshener 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 are driven, and the functional component of the aroma diffuser 63 is introduced into the air sucked in by the air freshener 62 from the air inlet 17, and air containing the functional component is supplied into the private space R. Furthermore, by acquiring an instruction from the operation device 40, the control device 60 can control the output of the aroma diffuser 63, i.e., the amount of the functional component introduced into the private space R. Furthermore, the control device 60 can control the output of the blower 62, that is, the rotation speed of the fan in the blower 62, by receiving an instruction from the operation device 40.
[0076] For example, when the user operates the operating device 40 to input an instruction to operate the blower 62 without operating the aroma diffuser 63, the control device 60 receives an instruction to control the operation of the blower 62 from the operating device 40. In this case, the outside air is supplied to the private room space R of the private room 10 by operating the blower 62.
[0077] Next, the control of the ventilation device 64 by the control device 60 will be described.
[0078] For example, when a user operates the operating device 40 to input an instruction to activate the ventilation device 64, the control device 60 acquires an instruction to control the operation of the ventilation device 64 from the operating device 40. When the user operates the operating device 40 to input an instruction to change the ventilation device 64 from an OFF state to an ON state, the control device 60 turns on the power of the ventilation device 64 in accordance with the instruction acquired from the operating device 40. As a result, the ventilation device 64 is activated, and outside air is supplied to the private space R of the private room 10. Furthermore, by acquiring an instruction from the operating device 40, the control device 60 can control the output of the ventilation device 64, that is, the rotation speed of the fan in the ventilation device 64.
[0079] Next, the coordinated control of the aroma diffuser 63, the blower 62, and the ventilation device 64 by the control device 60 will be described.
[0080] When the air into which the functional ingredients have been introduced is blown out from direction adjustment outlet 16a, control device 60 stops driving ventilation device 64. In other words, when control device 60 is driving blower 62 and aroma diffuser 63, control device 60 does not drive ventilation device 64. This prevents the air into which the functional ingredients have been introduced from being immediately exhausted from first air supply / exhaust port 5 or second air supply / exhaust port 20b by driving ventilation device 64, even if the air into which the functional ingredients have been introduced is blown out from direction adjustment outlet 16a.
[0081] Furthermore, the control device 60 starts driving the ventilation device 64 within a certain time after completing the blowing of the air containing the functional ingredients from the direction adjustment outlet 16a. In other words, when the control device 60 stops driving the blower 62 and the aroma diffuser 63, it drives the ventilation device 64 within a certain time after stopping them. As a result, even if the private space R is filled with air containing the functional ingredients, driving the ventilation device 64 can replace the air in the private space R with air outside the private room 10, thereby allowing the functional ingredients contained in the air in the private space R to be exhausted. Here, "within a certain time" refers to, for example, within several seconds or several tens of seconds.
[0082] Furthermore, when air into which no functional ingredients have been introduced is blown out from direction adjustment outlet 16a into private room R, control device 60 also starts driving ventilation device 64. That is, when control device 60 drives blower 62 and stops driving aroma diffuser 63, control device 60 starts driving ventilation device 64. In this case, because air into which no functional ingredients have been introduced is blown out from direction adjustment outlet 16a, it is possible to start driving ventilation device 64 without considering the functional ingredients.
[0083] In this way, there is a time (period) during which the control device 60 simultaneously operates the airflow generation unit 16 and the ventilation device 64. In other words, there is a time during which the control device 60 does not simultaneously operate the airflow generation unit 16 and the ventilation device 64.
[0084] [Sound device 61, fan 62, aroma diffuser 63 and ventilation device 64] The sound device 61 can output sound within the private space R. For example, the sound device 61 can play music to provide the user with music that has a sleep-inducing effect or music that has a waking effect. The sound device 61 is housed in the private room 10 and is arranged, for example, in the private space R. The sound device 61 allows the user to change the music played in the private space R or adjust the volume by operating the operation device 40.
[0085] The blower 62 is placed in the private room 10, draws in air through an intake port 17 provided in the private room 10, and blows out the air from a direction-adjusting outlet 16a provided in the private room space R, thereby generating an airflow within the private room space R.
[0086] The aroma diffuser 63 is disposed in the private room 10 and can adjust the amount of the functional component in the private room space R by introducing the functional component into the air blown out from the other-side opening 20a. For example, the aroma diffuser 63 can cause the functional component to be contained in the air flowing from the air inlet 17 to the direction adjusting outlet 16a by driving the blower 62 under the control of the control device 60. That is, the functional component is carried by the airflow from the air inlet 17 to the direction adjusting outlet 16a and is guided into the private room space R. This allows the private room space R to be filled with the user's favorite scent. The output of the aroma diffuser 63 can be adjusted by the operating device 40. The aroma diffuser 63 may also be capable of changing the type of functional component by operating the operating device 40. The aroma diffuser 63 is an example of a functional component introducer. Other examples of functional component introducers include an ion generator, a humidifier, and the like.
[0087] The aroma diffuser 63 can introduce the functional ingredient into the private space R without driving the air blower 62. In other words, the aroma diffuser 63 can fill the private space R with the scent of the functional ingredient simply by being placed in the private space R.
[0088] Furthermore, aroma diffuser 63 is placed at the feet of the user when he or she is asleep in bed 30. Specifically, aroma diffuser 63 is placed on the flow path of duct 20 or in third space R3. In this embodiment, aroma diffuser 63 is placed downstream of blower 62 and closer to ceiling 13 than blower 62 so as to be away from the user's head.
[0089] In this embodiment, the blower 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 are located on the negative Z-axis side (lower side) of the ceiling 13, but this is not limiting. Only the blower 62 may be located on the negative Z-axis side of the ceiling 13. In this embodiment, the blower 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 are located on the foot side when the user sleeps in the bed 30, but this is not limiting. Only the blower 62 may be located on the foot side when the user sleeps in the bed 30. In these cases, the aroma diffuser 63 may be located above the ceiling 13.
[0090] The ventilation device 64 is controlled by the control device 60 to exchange the air inside the individual room 10 with the air outside the individual room 10.
[0091] For example, the ventilation device 64 can exhaust air from the private space R by sucking in air from the private space R through the second air supply and exhaust port 20b provided in the private room 10 and blowing the air out of the private space R through the other side opening 20a of the duct 20. Specifically, when the ventilation device 64 is driven to exhaust air from the private space R to the outside of the private room 10 through the second air supply and exhaust port 20b, air outside the private space R is sucked in through the first air supply and exhaust port 5, thereby supplying the outside air to the private space R. Furthermore, by driving the ventilation device 64, air from the private space R is sucked in through the second air supply and exhaust port 20b. The sucked air is exhausted through the duct 20 to the outside of the private space R through the other side opening 20a.
[0092] Furthermore, the ventilation device 64 can supply air into the private space R by drawing in air outside the private room 10 through the other opening 20a of the duct 20 and blowing the air into the private space R through the second air supply and exhaust port 20b provided in the private room 10. Specifically, when the ventilation device 64 is driven to supply air into the private space R through the second air supply and exhaust port 20b, air outside the private room 10 is drawn in through the other opening 20a of the duct 20, and the outside air is supplied to the private space R through the second air supply and exhaust port 20b via the duct 20. As a result, the air inside the private space R is pushed out through the first air supply and exhaust port 5 and exhausted to the outside of the private room 10.
[0093] When the ventilation device 64 exhausts the air in the private space R, the blower 62 is driven to take in outside air, or outside air is taken in through the first air intake and exhaust port 5, etc., thereby adjusting the temperature and humidity of the air in the private space R.
[0094] In this way, by driving the blower 62 and the ventilation device 64, air can be circulated inside the private room 10. The output of the blower 62 and the ventilation device 64 can be adjusted by the operating device 40.
[0095] Moreover, the blower 62 and the ventilation device 64 are arranged on the foot side when the user sleeps on the bed 30.
[0096] [Power supply section 80] Power supply unit 80 controls the light output by supplying power to first lighting fixture 71 and second lighting fixture 72, and controls the output by supplying power to acoustic device 61, air blower 62, aroma diffuser 63, and ventilation device 64. In other words, power supply unit 80 generates drive power for driving first lighting fixture 71, second lighting fixture 72, acoustic device 61, air blower 62, aroma diffuser 63, and ventilation device 64, and supplies this drive power to first lighting fixture 71, second lighting fixture 72, acoustic device 61, air blower 62, aroma diffuser 63, and ventilation device 64, respectively.
[0097] [Relationship between the first and second lines] Next, the relationship between the first line and the second line will be described with reference to FIG.
[0098] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the first and second lines in the private room 10. As shown in FIG.
[0099] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 , in the private room 10, the first line connecting the first air intake and exhaust port 5 and the second air intake and exhaust port 20b does not intersect with the direction of air blown out from the direction adjustment outlet 16a. Furthermore, the first line connecting the first air intake and exhaust port 5 and the second air intake and exhaust port 20b does not intersect with the second line extending along the orientation of the louver 16b. In other words, the first air intake and exhaust port 5 and the second air intake and exhaust port 20b are arranged in the private room 10 so that the first line does not intersect with the air blowing direction. Furthermore, the orientation of the louver 16b is maintained within the direction adjustment outlet 16a so that the first line does not intersect with the air blowing direction. Therefore, the first airflow along the first line connecting the first air intake and exhaust port 5 and the second air intake and exhaust port 20b does not directly intersect with the second airflow along the air blowing direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the functional ingredients carried by the second air current from being carried away by the first air current.
[0100] <Processing operation> Next, the processing operation of the private booth 1 according to this embodiment will be described.
[0101] (Example 1) This operation example will be explained with reference to FIG.
[0102] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a first operation example of the private booth 1 according to the embodiment.
[0103] First, when a user uses private booth 1, the user inputs the usage time via operation device 40. At this time, the user selects the lighting mode, etc., and also selects whether or not to introduce functional ingredients into the air in private space R. The user operates operation device 40 to input instructions to operate blower 62 and aroma diffuser 63. Control device 60 receives instructions to control the operation of blower 62 and aroma diffuser 63 from operation device 40. Control device 60 determines whether ventilation device 64 is operating (S11).
[0104] Next, when the control device 60 determines that the ventilation device 64 is not operating (NO in S11), it operates the blower 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 (S12). When the blower 62 is operated, it draws in air from outside the private room 10 through the air inlet 17. At this time, the aroma diffuser 63 introduces the functional component into the air from outside the private room 10 that the blower 62 has drawn in through the air inlet 17. The blower 62 blows out the drawn air containing the functional component from the direction adjustment outlet 16a of the airflow generation unit 16. As a result, the air containing the functional component is supplied to the private room space R.
[0105] Then, the control device 60 ends the processing operation of the flowchart in FIG.
[0106] On the other hand, when the control device 60 determines that the ventilation device 64 is operating (YES in S11), it stops the operation of the ventilation device 64 when supplying the air into which the functional ingredients have been introduced from the direction adjustment outlet 16a to the private space R (S13). Then, the control device 60 performs the processing operation of step S12.
[0107] By performing such a processing operation, even if air containing functional ingredients is blown out from the direction adjustment outlet 16a, the ventilation device 64 can be driven to prevent the air containing functional ingredients from being immediately exhausted from the first air supply / exhaust port 5 or the second air supply / exhaust port 20b.
[0108] (Example 2) This operation example will be explained with reference to FIG.
[0109] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a second operation example of the private booth 1 according to the embodiment.
[0110] The control device 60 stops the operation of the blower 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 when the end time of the private booth 1 used by the user arrives or a predetermined time before the end time. Therefore, as the end time approaches, the control device 60 determines whether the operation of the blower 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 has stopped (S21).
[0111] When the control device 60 determines that the driving of the air blower 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 has not stopped (NO in S21), the control device 60 repeats the process of step S21.
[0112] On the other hand, when the control device 60 determines that the blowing of air containing the functional ingredients from the direction adjustment outlet 16a has been completed and that the operation of the blower 62 and the aroma diffuser 63 has stopped (YES in S21), it starts the operation of the ventilation device 64 within a certain time (S22). The ventilation device 64 is driven to draw in air from outside the private room 10 through the first air supply and exhaust port 5, and exhausts the air in the private space R to the outside of the private room 10 through the second air supply and exhaust port 20b. As a result, the air in the private space R is replaced with air from outside the private room 10 and is exhausted to the outside of the private room 10.
[0113] Then, the control device 60 ends the processing operation of the flowchart in FIG.
[0114] If the answer to step S21 is YES, the control device 60 may start driving the ventilation device 64 after a predetermined time has elapsed.
[0115] With this processing operation, even if the private space R is filled with air into which functional ingredients have been introduced, the ventilation device 64 can be automatically activated, for example, after the user has finished using the private booth 1, to replace the air in the private space R with the air outside the private room 10, thereby allowing the functional ingredients contained in the air in the private space R to be exhausted.
[0116] (Example 3) This operation example will be explained with reference to FIG.
[0117] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an operation example 3 of the private booth 1 according to the embodiment.
[0118] As another example, when a user is using the private booth 1, the blower 62 may be operating and the aroma diffuser 63 may be stopped. Therefore, when a user is using the private booth 1, the control device 60 determines whether the blower 62 is operating and the aroma diffuser 63 is stopped (S31).
[0119] When the control device 60 determines that the air blower 62 is operating and that the operation of the aroma diffuser 63 has not stopped (NO in S31), the control device 60 repeats the process of step S31.
[0120] On the other hand, when the control device 60 determines that the blower 62 is operating and the operation of the aroma diffuser 63 is stopped (YES in S31), it starts operating the ventilation device 64 when blowing air without introducing functional ingredients from the direction adjustment outlet 16a into the private space R (S32).
[0121] Then, the control device 60 ends the processing operation of the flowchart in FIG.
[0122] In this way, when the control device 60 stops the operation of the aroma diffuser 63 and starts the operation of the blower 62, it also starts the ventilation device 64. As a result, air that has not been introduced with any functional ingredients is blown out from the direction adjustment outlet 16a, so that the operation of the ventilation device 64 can be started without taking the functional ingredients into consideration.
[0123] <Action and effect> Next, the effects of the private booth 1 in this embodiment will be described.
[0124] As described above, the private booth 1 of this embodiment includes the private room 10 having at least the wall 11f, ceiling 13, and floor 11b that form the private space R, the airflow generating unit 16 having the direction adjusting outlet 16a that blows air in a predetermined direction within the private space R, a functional ingredient introducer that introduces a functional ingredient into the air blown out from the direction adjusting outlet 16a, the first air supply / exhaust port 5 that connects the private space R to the outside of the private room 10, and the ventilation device 64 that exchanges the air within the private space R with the air outside the private room 10. The first straight line connecting the first air supply / exhaust port 5 and the second air supply / exhaust port 20b does not intersect with the direction of the air blown out from the direction adjusting outlet 16a. The airflow generating unit 16 and the ventilation device 64 operate simultaneously for a certain period of time.
[0125] According to this, when the ventilation device 64 is driven, air outside the private room 10 can be supplied to the private room space R through the air intake and exhaust port, and air inside the private room space R can be exhausted to the outside of the private room 10.
[0126] Furthermore, because the first straight line and the blowing direction do not intersect, even if there is a period when the airflow generating unit 16 and the ventilation device 64 are operating simultaneously, the air blown out from the direction adjustment outlet 16a and into which the functional ingredient has been introduced is not immediately exhausted from the first air supply / exhaust port 5 or the second air supply / exhaust port 20b. Therefore, the amount of the functional ingredient in the private space R can be maintained for a certain period of time when the user is using the private space R.
[0127] Therefore, this private booth 1 can suppress lingering odors after use and also suppress the effects of functional ingredients from being reduced due to ventilation.
[0128] In particular, air containing functional ingredients is supplied to the private space R from the direction adjustment outlet 16a, and the ventilation device 64 can replace the air in the private space R with the air outside the private room 10, so even if a user uses the private space R for a long period of time, the increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the private space R can be suppressed.
[0129] The private booth 1 of this embodiment also includes a private room 10 having at least wall portions 11f, ceiling 13, and floor board 11b that form a private space R, an airflow generating unit 16 having a direction adjusting outlet 16a that blows air in a predetermined direction in the private space R, a functional ingredient introducer that introduces a functional ingredient into the air blown out from the direction adjusting outlet 16a, a ventilation device 64 that exchanges the air in the private space R with the air outside the private room 10, and a control device 60 that controls the operation of the ventilation device 64. When the air into which the functional ingredient has been introduced is blown out from the direction adjusting outlet 16a, the control device 60 stops the operation of the ventilation device 64.
[0130] According to this, when the ventilation device 64 is driven, air outside the private room 10 can be supplied to the private room space R through the air intake and exhaust port, and air inside the private room space R can be exhausted to the outside of the private room 10.
[0131] Furthermore, by stopping the operation of the ventilation device 64, it is possible to prevent the air blown out from the direction adjustment outlet 16a and containing the functional ingredients from being immediately exhausted from the first air supply / exhaust port 5 or the second air supply / exhaust port 20b. Therefore, the amount of the functional ingredients in the private space R can be maintained for a certain period of time when the user is using the private space R.
[0132] Therefore, this private booth 1 can suppress lingering odors after use and also suppress the effects of functional ingredients from being reduced due to ventilation.
[0133] In particular, air containing functional ingredients is supplied to the private space R from the direction adjustment outlet 16a, and the ventilation device 64 can replace the air in the private space R with the air outside the private room 10, so even if a user uses the private space R for a long period of time, the increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the private space R can be suppressed.
[0134] In the private booth 1 of this embodiment, the direction adjusting outlet 16a has a louver 16b. The direction adjusting outlet 16a is an outlet grill that can adjust the air outlet direction by adjusting the position of the louver 16b. A first line connecting the first air supply / exhaust port 5 and the second air supply / exhaust port 20b does not intersect with a second line extending along the position of the louver 16b.
[0135] According to this, since the blowing direction along the second straight line does not intersect with the first straight line, even if air containing functional ingredients is blown out from the direction adjustment outlet 16a, the operation of the ventilation device 64 can prevent the air containing functional ingredients from being immediately exhausted from the first air intake and exhaust port 5 or the second air intake and exhaust port 20b.
[0136] In addition, in the private booth 1 of this embodiment, the control device 60 starts driving the ventilation device 64 within a certain time after completing the blowing of the air into which the functional ingredients have been introduced from the direction adjustment outlet 16a.
[0137] With this, even if the private space R is filled with air into which the functional ingredients have been introduced from the direction adjustment outlet 16a, the air in the private space R can be replaced with air outside the private room 10 by driving the ventilation device 64. This makes it possible to prevent the functional ingredients from remaining in the private space R after the user has finished using the private booth 1.
[0138] Furthermore, in the private booth 1 of this embodiment, the control device 60 further starts driving the ventilation device 64 when blowing air without introducing functional ingredients from the direction adjustment outlet 16a into the private space R.
[0139] According to this, air without any functional ingredients introduced therein is blown out from the direction adjustment outlet 16a, so that the operation of the ventilation device 64 can be started without considering the functional ingredients. Therefore, the air inside the private space R can be more quickly exchanged with the air outside the private room 10 using the direction adjustment outlet 16a, the first air supply and exhaust port 5, the second air supply and exhaust port 20b, and the ventilation device 64. This makes it easier to make the air quality, such as the temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration, inside the private space R similar to the air quality outside the private room 10.
[0140] Moreover, the private booth 1 of this embodiment further includes at least one of a lighting fixture 70 that illuminates the private space R and an acoustic device 61 that outputs sound into the private space R.
[0141] This allows at least one of the sound device 61 and the lighting device 70 to be controlled, thereby providing a comfortable nap environment for the user.
[0142] In addition, in the private booth 1 of this embodiment, the external dimensions of the private booth 1 are 1100 (mm) or less×2100 (mm) or less×1950 (mm) or less.
[0143] According to this, if the external dimensions of the private booth 1 are such that it can be placed on an elevator, the private booth 1 can be easily carried in and out.
[0144] Moreover, the private booth 1 of this embodiment further includes a moving part (casters 12).
[0145] This makes it possible to provide a portable private booth 1 that can be moved freely.
[0146] (Other variations) While the private booth according to the present disclosure has been described above based on the above-mentioned embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. As long as the modifications do not deviate from the spirit of the present disclosure, various modifications conceivable by those skilled in the art may also be included in the scope of the present disclosure.
[0147] For example, the control devices and the like included in the private booths according to the above embodiments are typically realized as LSIs, which are integrated circuits. These may be implemented individually as single chips, or some or all of them may be integrated into a single chip.
[0148] Furthermore, the integration is not limited to LSI, but may be realized by dedicated circuits or general-purpose processors. FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays), which can be programmed after LSI manufacturing, or reconfigurable processors, which allow the connections and settings of circuit cells within LSIs to be reconfigured, may also be used.
[0149] In the above-described embodiments, each component may be configured with dedicated hardware, or may be realized by executing a software program suitable for each component. Each component may also be realized by a program execution unit such as a CPU or processor reading and executing a software program recorded on a storage medium such as a hard disk or semiconductor memory.
[0150] Furthermore, all of the numbers used above are examples for specifically explaining the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the numbers shown as examples.
[0151] The division of functional blocks in the block diagram is an example, and multiple functional blocks may be realized as a single functional block, one functional block may be divided into multiple blocks, or some functions may be moved to another functional block.Furthermore, the functions of multiple functional blocks having similar functions may be processed in parallel or time-shared by a single piece of hardware or software.
