Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for exterior equipment attached to a mobility unit. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, container houses, trailer homes, camper vans, etc. have been widely known as mobility units that can be easily relocated and installed. Demand for mobility units has been increasing in recent years, with some units being permanently installed as residences, stores, or offices, others being used as accommodation facilities at campsites under normal circumstances, and others being gathered in disaster-stricken areas and used as temporary housing in the event of a disaster. In the mobility unit (simple structure) described in Patent Document 1, various exterior equipment such as a water tank, solar panels, wind turbines for wind power generation, water pumps, and power generation control units are attached to the exterior surfaces (exterior top surface, exterior side surfaces) of the house main body. In the mobility unit (trailer house) described in Patent Document 2, various exterior equipment such as an air conditioning outdoor unit, a converter, and a power conditioner are attached to the outer wall of the container. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-190156 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3224784 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The exterior equipment attached to a mobility unit may differ depending on the installation location and use before and after relocation, such as when the mobility unit is used as accommodation at a campsite or the like during normal times and then gathered in a disaster-stricken area and used as temporary housing in the event of a disaster. Therefore, it is desirable that the exterior equipment attached to the mobility unit be easily attached and detached. In addition, since the unit body shakes while the mobility unit is being relocated (moved), there is a risk that the outer wall of the unit body will come into contact with the mounting member (mounting arm, etc.) that supports the exterior equipment, resulting in damage to the unit body.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide an external equipment mounting structure that allows external equipment to be easily attached and detached and is suitable for relocating a mobility unit. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The invention described in claim 1 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 to 17, a mounting structure for exterior equipment E attached to a mobility unit 1, The exterior equipment E is attached to the unit body 1a of the mobility unit 1 via an attachment member 80, A predetermined area of ​​the outdoor side surface of the unit body 1a, including an area facing the mounting member 80, is covered with a metal plate 70; The mounting member 80 is fixed to the unit body 1a by means of bolts 78 via the metal plate 70.

[0007] According to the invention described in claim 1, a predetermined area of ​​the outdoor side of the unit main body 1a, including the area facing the mounting member 80, is covered with the metal plate 70. Therefore, even if the unit main body 1a shakes when relocating the mobility unit 1 and the outer wall of the unit main body 1a comes into contact with the mounting member 80 supporting the exterior equipment E, it is the metal plate 70 that comes into contact with the mounting member 80. Therefore, the unit main body 1a is not damaged by the contact, making it suitable for relocating the mobility unit 1. Furthermore, since the mounting member 80 is fixed to the unit main body 1a by the bolts 78 via the metal plate 70, the mounting member 80 can be attached and detached simply by using a tool such as a wrench to rotate (tighten and fix, or loosen and remove) the bolts 78. Therefore, it is easy to attach and detach the mounting member 80 to and from the unit main body 1a, i.e., to attach and detach the exterior equipment E to and from the unit main body 1a.

[0008] The invention described in claim 2 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 13 to 16, in the mounting structure of the exterior equipment E described in claim 1, The metal plate 70 is integrally provided with a nut 71 into which the bolt 78 is threaded. The unit body 1a is characterized in that it is provided with a recess 60 into which the nut 71 fits.

[0009] According to the invention described in claim 2, the unit body 1a is provided with a recess 60 into which a nut 71 integral with the metal plate 70 fits. Therefore, simply by fitting the nut 71 into the recess 60, the metal plate 70 can be attached to an accurate position in the unit body 1a, making positioning easy.

[0010] The invention described in claim 3 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 13 to 16, in the mounting structure of the exterior equipment E described in claim 2, The nut 71 is characterized by being a rivet nut.

[0011] According to the invention as set forth in claim 3, screw holes can be formed in the metal plate 70 without welding.

[0012] The invention described in claim 4 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 7 to 12, in the mounting structure of the exterior equipment E described in claim 1, The unit body 1a is formed in a box shape and includes a floor (first floor 10), a roof 11, and side walls 12 to 15 provided between the floor 10 and the roof 11. The side walls 12 to 15 are composed of wooden columns 61 and wall wooden panels 62, The predetermined area is characterized by being an area within the exterior side surface of the wooden pole 61.

[0013] According to the invention as set forth in claim 4, the metal plate 70 is fixed to the wooden post 61 of the side walls 12 to 15, so that the metal plate 70 can be kept firmly fixed.

[0014] The invention described in claim 5 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 13 to 16, in the mounting structure of the exterior equipment E described in claim 1, The exterior side surface is covered with an exterior material 50 except for the predetermined area. The metal plate 70 is covered with a flashing material 76, The water dripping material 76 is characterized in that it is provided across the metal plate 70 and the exterior material 50.

[0015] According to the invention described in claim 5, the area of ​​the outdoor side of the unit main body 1a except for a specified area is covered with exterior material 50, and the metal plate 70 (i.e., the specified area of ​​the outdoor side of the unit main body 1a) is covered with water-repellent material 76, thereby preventing water from entering through the specified area not covered with exterior material 50. Furthermore, since the water draining material 76 is provided across the metal plate 70 and the exterior material 50, it is possible to prevent water from entering between the metal plate 70 and the exterior material 50.

[0016] The invention described in claim 6 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 16, in the mounting structure of the exterior equipment E described in claim 1, A feature of the present invention is that when the mounting member 80 is not fixed to the predetermined area, a cover member 81 can be attached to the predetermined area from the outside.

[0017] According to the invention described in claim 6, a predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) when the mounting member 80 is not fixed can be hidden by the cover member 81, thereby preventing the appearance of the mobility unit 1 from being impaired.

[0018] The invention described in claim 7 is, for example, as shown in Figs. 13 to 16, in the mounting structure of the exterior equipment E described in claim 1, A water-stopping means (waterproof tape 74) is provided between the end of the metal plate 70 and the predetermined area.

[0028] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are subject to various limitations that are technically preferable for carrying out the present invention, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples. Note that directions (front-rear, left-right, up-down, etc.) in the following embodiments and illustrated examples are set solely for the convenience of explanation.

[0029] <Mobility Unit> 1 to 6, reference numeral 1 denotes a mobility unit (mobile unit). In this embodiment, the mobility unit 1 is a trailer house that is placed on a dolly 2 and towed and transported by an automobile (not shown), and is placed in a suitable location while still on the dolly 2. Although the mobility unit 1 in this embodiment is a trailer house, it is not limited to this and may be, for example, a container house that is used by being unloaded from a dolly 2. In this case, the mobility unit 1 is installed on a foundation.

[0030] In the example shown in Figure 1, a mobility unit 1 is used in combination with another mobility unit 100. A staircase deck 200 is arranged between the two mobility units 1, 100, allowing movement between them via this staircase deck 200. The stepped deck 200 includes a main deck 210 supported by legs, and stairs 220 that allow movement between the ground and the main deck 210. A handrail 230 is provided at the end of the main deck 210 opposite the stairs 220. The main deck 210 can be used as an outdoor living room by placing a table and chairs on the main deck 210, for example.

[0031] Furthermore, the mobility unit 1,100 has passed vehicle inspection and is sized within legal regulations (Building Standards Act, Road Transport Vehicle Act) (Safety Standards Article 2 limits: vehicle width within 2.5m, vehicle length within 12m, vehicle height within 3.8m). This allows the mobility unit 1,100 to travel legally on public roads. However, with special permission, it may be possible to sized it larger than the limits. Additionally, the mobility unit 1,100 shall meet all criteria required for placement at a fixed location.

[0032] The cart 2 is also called a chassis, and includes a support base 3 having wheels 3a, and a plurality of support legs 4 detachably attached to the support base 3. Note that the support legs 4 are not shown in the drawings other than Figures 5 and 6. The box-shaped unit main body 1a of the mobility unit 1 is placed on and integrated with the support base 3. A connecting portion 5 that protrudes forward and is connected to an automobile is integrally formed at the front end of the support base 3. Note that the connecting portion 5 is not shown in the drawings other than Figures 3 and 4. The support legs 4 are provided at least at the four corners of the support base 3. The support legs 4 of this embodiment are jack devices that allow the portions in contact with the support base 3 to be manually raised and lowered.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 6, exterior equipment E such as an outdoor unit E1 and a water heater E2 is installed on the exterior wall of the unit body 1a of the mobility unit 1 (the exterior side of the unit body 1a). Similarly, although not shown, exterior equipment E such as an outdoor unit E1 is also installed on the exterior wall of the unit body 100a of the other mobility units 100 (on the outdoor side of the unit body 100a).

[0034] In this embodiment, the mobility unit 1 and the other mobility units 100 installed on either side of the staircase deck 200 are used as accommodation facilities. The first space 21, which will be described later, is used by the manager of the accommodation facility as storage space for linens, amenities, and other various supplies for guests, as well as for installing interior equipment such as a distribution board and storage batteries. In other words, the first space 21 is intended to be used only by the manager. However, if the mobility unit 1 is not intended to be used as an accommodation facility, the user of the first space 21 will also be different. Alternatively, even if the mobility unit 1 is intended to be used as an accommodation facility, the user of the first space 21 does not have to be a manager, and may be, for example, a guest.

[0035] <Unit body> Next, the configuration of the unit main body 1a in the mobility unit 1 will be described in detail using Figures 1, 2, and 7 to 10. That is, the mobility unit 1 of this embodiment, which is a trailer house, is configured to include a dolly 2, and the box-shaped unit main body 1a placed on a support base 3 of the dolly 2 will be described below. The unit body 1a is formed in a box shape and includes, as its outer shell, a first floor 10 that is placed on and integrated with a support base 3, a roof 11, and four side walls 12 to 15 that are provided between the first floor 10 and the roof 11. The unit body 1a is formed to be long in one direction (front-to-back direction) and short in the other direction (left-to-right direction), forming a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

[0036] The first floor 10 is long in one direction (front-rear direction) and short in the other direction (left-right direction), forming a rectangular shape in a plan view. The first floor 10 forms the entire surface of the lowest floor in the space within the mobility unit 1. The first floor 10 has a floor body made of hollow architectural wood panels. A floor finishing material (for example, flooring) is provided on the upper surface of the floor body, and the hollow interior is filled with heat insulating material.

[0037] The roof 11 is a single-shed roof, with the side facing the staircase deck 200 (the right side) being higher and the opposite side (the left side) being lower. This prevents rainwater from flowing from the roof 11 onto the main deck 210, which serves as the outdoor living area. In addition, as will be described later, an entrance / exit 15a is provided on the side of the unit main body 1a facing the staircase deck 200, which also prevents rainwater from flowing into the entrance / exit 15a.

[0038] The roof 11 has a main body made of hollow architectural wood panels. As shown in Figures 3 to 6, the top and sides of the roof body are covered with roofing material 51 (for example, a galvalume steel roof) (galvalume steel is a registered trademark), and the hollow interior is filled with a heat insulating material. Additionally, a ceiling material (for example, decorative ceiling board material) is provided on the underside of the roof body. Because the roof 11 is a gable roof, the ceiling appears to be a sloped ceiling when viewed from inside the unit body 1a. However, this is not limited to this, and a horizontal ceiling made of rafters, ceiling material, etc. may also be formed below the roof body.

[0039] The four side walls include a first side wall 12 , a second side wall 13 , a third side wall 14 and a fourth side wall 15 . The first side wall 12 is provided on one end side (front end side) of the first floor 10 in the length direction. The second side wall 13 is provided on the other end side (rear end side) of the first floor 10 in the length direction. The third side wall 14 is provided between one end (left end) of the first side wall 12 in the width direction and one end (left end) of the second side wall 13 in the width direction. The fourth side wall 15 is provided between the other end (right end) of the first side wall 12 in the width direction and the other end (right end) of the second side wall 13 in the width direction.

[0040] The first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13 form the front and rear surfaces of the unit body 1a. The third side wall 14 and the fourth side wall 15 form the left and right surfaces of the unit body 1a. The width dimensions (lengths in the front-rear direction) of the third side wall 14 and the fourth side wall 15 are set to be longer than the width dimensions (lengths in the left-right direction) of the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13. The four side walls 12-15 are constructed of hollow architectural wood panels. The exterior side of the wall body is provided with exterior wall material 52 (e.g., galvalume steel exterior wall or siding material) as shown in Figures 3-6, while the interior side of the wall body is provided with interior wall material (e.g., gypsum board) and wall finishing material (e.g., wallpaper), with the hollow interior space filled with heat insulating material. The exterior side of the wall body is also provided with a foundation drip edge 82, a ventilation fan hood 83, an external outlet 84, a piping cover 85, etc. as shown in Figures 3-6.

[0041] The third side wall 14 is provided with a pair of side-by-side opening / closing windows 14a, which are waist-high windows with their lower ends positioned higher than the first floor 10. The opening / closing windows 14a and the fixed windows 14b, which cannot be opened or closed, are both made of glass. The fourth side wall 15 is formed with a doorway 15a with a fitting, the lower end of which is approximately the same height as the first floor 10, and the upper end of which is close to the roof 11. The fourth side wall 15 also has a fixed window 15b set at the same height as the doorway 15a, which is provided next to the doorway 15a. The fitting of the doorway 15a and the fixed window 15b are both glass fittings and glass windows (glass walls).

[0042] Inside the unit body 1a surrounded by the above-mentioned outer shell (first floor 10, roof 11, and four side walls 12 to 15), a second floor 16 is arranged parallel to the first floor 10 above a portion of the first floor 10. The second floor 16 is supported from below by a support wall 17 erected on the first floor 10. The second floor 16 is also fixed to at least one of the four side walls 12 to 15.

[0043] The second floor 16 of this embodiment has a square shape in a plan view, and is fixed to three side walls: the second side wall 13, the third side wall 14, and the fourth side wall 15. The end (front end) of the second floor 16 opposite the second side wall 13 is located immediately adjacent to the fixed window 14b of the third side wall 14 and the fixed window 15b of the fourth side wall 15. The second floor 16 has a floor body made of hollow architectural wood panels. A floor finishing material (such as tile carpet) is provided on the upper surface of the floor body, and a ceiling material is provided on the underside of the floor body, with the hollow interior filled with heat insulating material.

[0044] The second floor 16 divides the space inside the unit main body 1a where the second floor 16 is provided into upper and lower parts. As a result, a first space 21 is formed below the second floor 16, and a second space 22 is formed above the second floor 16. In this embodiment, the second floor 16 is disposed closer to the first floor 10 than the roof 11. As a result, the ceiling height of the first space 21 is set lower than the ceiling height of the second space 22. The ceiling height of the first space 21 is set to about 700 to 800 mm. The ceiling height of the second space 22 is set to about 1500 to 1600 mm at its highest point (enough for an adult male of average height to walk while bending slightly).

[0045] Thus, in this embodiment, the second floor 16 is positioned closer to the first floor 10 than the roof 11, and the first space 21 is a low-ceilinged space with a ceiling height set to approximately half that of the second space 22. The second floor 16 may be located closer to the roof 11 than the first floor 10. In this case, the second space 22 may be recognized as a loft. A loft may be used as a high-position storage space or as a bedroom (loft bed). To access the loft, a tall tool such as a ladder is required, and many items may be stored at a high position. Therefore, considering the safety of the mobility unit 1 as a vehicle to be towed and transported, it is preferable to locate the second floor 16 closer to the first floor 10 than to the roof 11.

[0046] A fence 16a is provided at the front end of the second floor 16, close to the third side wall 14. The fence 16a is arranged with a gap between it and the fourth side wall 15. This allows the space between the fence 16a and the fourth side wall 15 to be a passageway for people to move between the first floor 10 and the second floor 16.

[0047] In this embodiment, the support wall 17 that supports the second floor 16 is arranged parallel to the first side wall 12 and the second side wall 13. The support wall 17 is arranged closer to the second side wall 13 than to the first side wall 12. The support wall 17 also extends between the third side wall 14 and the fourth side wall 15. Moreover, in this embodiment, the support wall 17 is disposed closer to the second side wall 13 (toward the center of the first space 21) than the front end of the second floor 16. As a result, the second floor 16 overhangs the support wall 17. In other words, the first space 21, which is the space below the second floor 16, is divided into front and rear spaces by the support wall 17, and the front space in the first space 21 (the space in front of the support wall 17 in the first space 21) is open toward the front. The support wall 17 has a wall body made of hollow architectural wood panels. Interior wall materials (e.g., gypsum board) and wall finishing materials (e.g., wallpaper) are provided on both the front and back of the wall body, and the hollow interior is filled with heat insulating material.

[0048] Furthermore, an indoor opening 30 is formed in the support wall 17 for accessing the rear space in the first space 21 (the space behind the support wall 17 in the first space 21). The indoor opening 30 is formed in the support wall 17 that is provided on the first floor 10 and supports the second floor 16 from below, and is therefore not formed above the second floor 16. Therefore, the height dimension of the indoor opening 30 is necessarily set within a range that fits between the first floor 10 and the second floor 16.

[0049] The indoor opening 30 is provided with a first fitting 31 with a lock 31b for opening and closing the indoor opening 30. The first fitting 31 in this embodiment is a sliding door, and fits so as to overlap with the right part of the support wall 17 (the part on the fourth side wall 15 side) when the indoor opening 30 is open. The first fitting 31 is provided with a finger hook 31a on which a finger can be hooked when opening or closing the first fitting 31. The first fitting 31 is also provided with a lock 31b, so that the indoor opening 30 can be locked in a closed state. In this embodiment, the mobility unit 1 is an accommodation facility, and the first space 21 is used by the manager of the accommodation facility, so the lock 31b can only be operated by the manager (the manager has the key to open and close the lock 31b).

[0050] Access to the rear space in the first space 21 (the space behind the support wall 17 in the first space 21) can be achieved not only through the indoor opening 30 formed in the support wall 17, but also through the outdoor opening 32. The outdoor opening 32 is an opening that connects the first space 21 with the outdoors, and is formed in one of the four side walls 12 to 15 that faces the rear space in the first space 21. In this embodiment, the outdoor opening 32 is formed in the second side wall 13, but this is not limited thereto, and the outdoor opening 32 may be formed in a side wall other than the second side wall 13, or multiple outdoor openings 32 may be formed.

[0051] In this way, the outdoor opening 32 is an opening that connects the first space 21 with the outdoors, and faces the first space 21, so it is not formed above the second floor 16 on the second side wall 13. Therefore, the height dimension of the outdoor opening 32 is necessarily set within a range that fits between the first floor 10 and the second floor 16. Furthermore, because the mobility unit 1 is placed on the cart 2, the outdoor opening 32 is located at the lower end of the mobility unit 1, but is positioned at a height above waist height for a person standing on the ground. Therefore, when the outdoor opening 32 is open and the first space 21 is viewed from the outdoors, the items and the like in the first space 21 can be seen at a height close to or slightly lower than eye level.

[0052] The outdoor opening 32 is provided with a second fitting 33 with a lock 33b for opening and closing the outdoor opening 32. The second fitting 33 in this embodiment is a single-wing door that rotates toward the outdoor side when the outdoor opening 32 is opened. Note that the second fitting 33 is not shown in Figure 5. The second fitting 33 is provided with a handle 33a that is gripped when opening or closing the second fitting 33. The second fitting 33 also has a lock 33b attached, so that the outdoor opening 32 can be locked in a closed state. In this embodiment, the mobility unit 1 is an accommodation facility, and the first space 21 is used by the manager of the accommodation facility, so the lock 33b can only be operated by the manager (the manager has the key to open and close the lock 33b).

[0053] Inside the unit body 1a as described above, the main living space 20 is located at the entrance 15a, and has a normal ceiling height (the height from the first floor 10 to the sloped ceiling under the roof 11). The second space 22, which is the space above the second floor 16, is not separated from the living space 20, is spatially continuous, and is recognized as a space continuous with the living space 20. This second space 22 is also called a raised space, and is suitable for use as, for example, a bedroom.

[0054] In the first space 21, which is the space below the second floor 16, as described above, the support wall 17 is disposed closer to the center of the first space 21 (toward the second side wall 13) than the front end of the second floor 16. That is, the first space 21 is divided into a front space and a rear space by the support wall 17, and the front space in the first space 21 (the space in front of the support wall 17 in the first space 21) is open toward the front (toward the living space 20). Therefore, like the second space 22, the front space in the first space 21 is not separated from the living space 20, is spatially continuous, and is recognized as a space continuous with the living space 20.

[0055] Furthermore, as described above, the first space 21 of this embodiment has a low ceiling height, and is therefore more suitable for storing items and installing interior equipment (distribution boards, storage batteries, etc.) than for people to enter and exit. Therefore, the first space 21 is preferably used as a storage space for items, interior equipment, fixtures, etc. In other words, the first space 21 is a low-ceiling storage space (low-ceiling storage room). However, as mentioned above, the front space in the first space 21 is continuous with the living space 20, and therefore functions well as a place for the user of the mobility unit 1 to temporarily store luggage brought in so that it does not get in the way.

[0056] 10, for example, a staircase-type storage furniture 40 or the rear end of a bench-type storage furniture 41 installed across the living space 20 is stored in the front space of the first space 21. The staircase-type storage furniture 40 is used when ascending and descending between the first floor 10 and the second floor 16, and is configured so that items can be stored from the side. The staircase-type storage furniture 40 can be pulled out from the front space in the first space 21 when ascending to the second space 22. Felt is attached to the bottom of the staircase-type storage furniture 40, which allows it to be pulled out from the front space in the first space 21 while preventing it from moving unnecessarily when transported by car. The bench-type storage furniture 41 is a storage furniture with a seat on the top surface and a drawer storage section, and is fixed to the first floor 10 or the third side wall 14. As shown in FIG. 10, for example, a wagon 42 with casters is stored in the rear space of the first space 21 (the space behind the support wall 17 in the first space 21).

[0057] That is, it goes without saying that furniture stored in the rear space of the first space 21, such as the wagon 42, will not exceed the ceiling height of the first space 21. In addition, the casters of the wagon 42 are equipped with stoppers to prevent excessive movement when transporting the wagon by car. On the other hand, it goes without saying that the furniture stored in the front space of the first space 21 will not exceed the ceiling height of the first space 21, but it is preferable that the furniture be multi-purpose furniture with two or more functions. Furthermore, in consideration of safety when towing or transporting by automobile, it is desirable that other furniture etc. installed within the mobility unit 1 be at most waist-high, and that they be fixed to the floor (first floor 10, second floor 16) or side walls (four side walls 12-15). If storage is to be provided at a higher position, it is desirable to fix a wall cupboard to the upper end of one of the four side walls 12-15, and to prevent the front door from being easily opened by using a magnet or locking mechanism etc.

[0058] Inside the unit body 1a, on the first side wall 12 side (front side), a toilet 23 and a shower room 24 are provided adjacent to the living space 20 via a partition wall. It is desirable that a washbasin be installed in the toilet 23 as well.

[0059] The unit body 100a of another mobility unit 100 adjacent to the mobility unit 1 configured as described above is formed in a box shape, similar to the unit body 1a of the mobility unit 1, and includes a first floor (not shown), a roof 111, and four side walls 113, 114, and 115 provided between the first floor and the roof 111. The side wall 115 on the staircase deck 200 side is provided with a doorway 115a and a fixed window 115b (glass wall). In this embodiment, the other mobility unit 100 has a room with a function, such as a kitchen, that is not available in the mobility unit 1. However, when the mobility unit 1 is used alone, the mobility unit 1 may be provided with necessary kitchen equipment (sink, refrigerator, etc.).

[0060] <Exterior equipment mounting structure> Next, the mounting structure of the exterior equipment E (outdoor unit E1, water heater E2, etc.) mounted on the mobility unit 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. The exterior equipment E is not limited to the outdoor unit E1 and the water heater E2. In addition to the outdoor unit E1 and the water heater E2, the exterior equipment E may also include, for example, antennas, lightning rods, advertising signs, septic tanks, wind power generation equipment, solar power generation equipment, guy wire receivers, and other parts and equipment that can be installed by DIY or the like (circular rings, arcade roofs, etc.).

[0061] As shown in FIG. 11, the side walls 12 to 15 are made up of wooden columns 61 and wooden wall panels 62. As mentioned above, the wall wood panel 62 and other wood panels (floor wood panels, roof wood panels, etc.) are hollow architectural wood panels. That is, the wall wood panel 62 and other wood panels (floor wood panels, roof wood panels, etc.) are constructed by assembling vertical and horizontal frame members into a rectangular shape, with auxiliary beam members assembled vertically and horizontally inside the rectangular frame, forming a frame body, and face materials attached to one or both sides of this frame body, resulting in a hollow structure. Furthermore, the hollow interior is usually filled with insulating material such as glass wool or rock wool.

[0062] In the example shown in Figure 11, only the first side wall 12 is composed of a wooden column 61 and a wall wood panel 62, but of course the other side walls 13 to 15 are also composed of wooden columns 61 and wall wood panels 62. Specifically, the unit body 1a includes a plurality of wooden columns 61, including at least four corner wooden columns 61, and a plurality of wall wooden panels 62. Adjacent wall wooden panels 62 are in contact with each other at their vertical frames, and these frames are connected to each other by connecting means (adhesive, screws, bolts, nuts, etc.). Furthermore, the vertical frames of adjacent wall wooden panels 62 are in contact with the wooden columns 61, and these frames are connected to each other by connecting means (adhesive, screws, bolts, nuts, etc.).

[0063] 13 to 16, a waterproof sheet 63 such as Tyvek (registered trademark) is attached to the outdoor side of the unit body 1a. Note that the waterproof sheet 63 is not shown in the drawings other than FIGS. 13 to 16. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, a predetermined area on the outdoor side of the wooden pole 61 is covered with a metal plate 70 such as a stainless steel plate. Then, as shown in Figures 13 to 16, the area on the outdoor side of the unit body 1a other than the predetermined area (the area covered with the metal plate 70) is covered with exterior materials 50 such as a roof material 51 and an exterior wall material 52. Note that the exterior materials 50 are not shown in Figures 1 and 2.

[0064] The metal plate 70 has a plurality of through holes (two in this embodiment), and as shown in Figures 13(b) and 14(b), metal nuts 71 are integrally provided corresponding to the through holes. Specifically, the nuts 71 are inserted into the through holes and fixed to the metal plate 70. This gives the metal plate 70 a threaded hole. The nuts 71 in this embodiment are, for example, stainless steel nuts, and are bottomed nuts with closed ends. The nuts 71 of this embodiment are rivet nuts (shield nuts), so that screw holes can be formed in the metal plate 70 without welding. The nuts 71 are not limited to rivet nuts. Alternatively, the nuts 71 may be welded to the metal plate 70 to form screw holes. The metal plate 70 and the nuts 71 do not have to be integrated.

[0065] A recess 60 capable of accommodating a nut 71 is provided on the outdoor side of the wooden pole 61. By fitting the tip side (bottom side) of the nut 71 provided on the metal plate 70 into the recess 60 of the wooden pole 61, the metal plate 70 can be attached to the wooden pole 61 in an accurate position. A caulking material 72 is provided between the nut 71 and the recess 60 into which the nut 71 fits. The caulking material 72 functions, for example, as a fixing means for fixing the nut 71 in the recess 60, and also as a waterproofing means (waterstop means) for preventing water from entering between the recess 60 and the nut 71.

[0066] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the metal plate 70 is a rectangular plate material, and the four corners of the metal plate 70 are screwed to the wooden pole 61 with fasteners 73 such as stainless steel coach screws. That is, the metal plate 70 is fixed to the wooden pole 61 (unit body 1a) by a nut 71, and is also fixed to the wooden pole 61 (unit body 1a) by a fastener 73.

[0067] 13 to 16, waterproof tape 74 such as butyl tape is attached to the outdoor side of the wooden pole 61 at locations facing the ends (upper end, lower end, one side end, other side end) of the metal plate 70 covering the outdoor side. This waterproof tape 74 functions as a waterproofing means (waterstop means) that prevents water from seeping in between the outdoor side of the unit body 1a (waterproof sheet 63) and the metal plate 70. Furthermore, on the outdoor side of the unit body 1a, a caulking material 75 is provided, covering from the outer end face of the metal plate 70, through the outer end face of the waterproof tape 74, to the outdoor side of the unit body 1a. This caulking material 75 functions as a waterproofing means (waterstopping means) that prevents water from entering between the outdoor side of the unit body 1a (waterproof sheet 63) and the metal plate 70, for example.

[0068] In this embodiment, a caulking material 75 (see Figure 13) covering one side end face of the metal plate 70 and a caulking material 75 (see Figure 14) covering the upper end face of the metal plate 70 are provided, but this is not limited to this. For example, a caulking material 75 may be provided to cover the other end face of the metal plate 70 (a caulking material 75 that covers from the other end face of the metal plate 70, through the other end face of the waterproof tape 74 attached to the portion opposite the other end of the metal plate 70, to the outdoor side of the unit main body 1a). In addition, a caulking material 75 may be provided to cover the lower end surface of the metal plate 70 (a caulking material 75 that covers from the lower end surface of the metal plate 70, through the lower end surface of the waterproof tape 74 attached to the portion opposite the lower end of the metal plate 70, to the outdoor side surface of the unit main body 1a).

[0069] 13 to 16, the outdoor side of the metal plate 70 is covered with a water-repellent material 76. The water-repellent material 76 is a member made of, for example, a PVC steel plate, and is configured to include a rectangular box-shaped main body 76a with an open outdoor side, and flanges 76b provided so as to protrude outward (upper, lower, one side, other side) from the open end (outdoor end) of the main body 76a. The thickness of the metal plate 70 is shorter than the thickness of the exterior material 50. Furthermore, the exterior material 50 is fixed to the exterior side of the unit main body 1a (wooden column 61 and wall wood panel 62) via furring strips 64 that are thicker than the metal plate 70, whereas the metal plate 70 is fixed to the exterior side of the unit main body 1a (wooden column 61) without via furring strips 64. Therefore, the exterior side of the metal plate 70 is located closer to the interior than the exterior side of the exterior material 50. That is, the exterior wall of the unit main body 1a (the exterior side of the unit main body 1a and the exterior wall material 52 covering the exterior side of the unit main body 1a) has a recessed space at the bottom where the metal plate 70 is located and which opens to the exterior, and the flashing material 76 is attached to the unit main body 1a with its main body 76a fitted in this recessed space.

[0070] The tip of the flange portion 76b of the water-repellent material 76 covers the end of the exterior material 50 (the end on the side of the predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70)). In other words, the water-repellent material 76 is provided across the metal plate 70 and the exterior material 50. Caulking material 77 is provided between the tip portions of flange portion 76b of flashing material 76 other than the lower tip portion (upper tip portion, one side tip portion, the other side tip portion) and exterior material 50. This caulking material 77 functions as a waterproofing means (waterstop means) that prevents water from entering between flashing material 76 and exterior material 50, for example. A through hole is provided in the water dripping material 76. The diameter of the through hole is set to be approximately the same as the outer diameter of the open end (flange) of the nut 71, and the water dripping material 76 is attached to the unit main body 1a by fitting the through hole into the nut 71 from the outdoor side.

[0071] A metal bolt 78 is threaded into the nut 71. The bolt 78 is used to secure an attachment member 80, such as an attachment arm that supports the exterior equipment E, to the unit main body 1a. In this manner, in this embodiment, the attachment member 80 is secured to the unit main body 1a by the bolt 78, which makes it easy to attach and detach the attachment member 80 to and from the unit main body 1a, i.e., to attach and detach the exterior equipment E to and from the unit main body 1a. Furthermore, even when the attachment member 80 is removed, by threading the bolt 78 into the nut 71 as shown in FIG. 13(a), FIG. 14(a), and FIG. 16, the bolt 78 can be prevented from being lost. The bolt 78 is threaded onto the nut 71 via a waterproof washer 79. That is, the waterproof washer 79 is interposed between the head of the bolt 78 and the nut 71. This waterproof washer 79 functions as, for example, a waterproofing means (waterstop means) that prevents water from entering between the bolt 78 and the nut 71. The bolt 78 of this embodiment is, for example, a stainless steel bolt, and the waterproof washer 79 of this embodiment is, for example, a stainless steel waterproof washer.

[0072] As described above, the outer wall of the unit body 1a is provided with a recessed space that opens to the outdoors and has a metal plate 70 disposed at the bottom. When the mounting member 80 is removed, a cover member 81 that closes the opening of the recessed space can be attached to the outer wall of the unit body 1a, as shown in Fig. 16, for example. This allows unused recessed spaces (recessed spaces to which mounting members 80 are not attached) among the recessed spaces provided in the outer wall of the unit body 1a to be hidden by the cover member 81, resulting in a good appearance.

[0073] <Effects> According to this embodiment, the following excellent effects are achieved. The mounting structure of this embodiment is a mounting structure for exterior equipment E attached to a mobility unit 1, and the exterior equipment E is attached to the unit main body 1a of the mobility unit 1 via a mounting member 80, and a predetermined area of ​​the outdoor side of the unit main body 1a, including the area facing the mounting member 80, is covered with a metal plate 70. Therefore, even if the unit main body 1a shakes when relocating the mobility unit 1 and the outer wall of the unit main body 1a comes into contact with the mounting member 80 supporting the exterior equipment E, it is the metal plate 70 that comes into contact with the mounting member 80, so the unit main body 1a will not be damaged as a result of the contact, making it suitable for relocating the mobility unit 1.

[0074] In the mounting structure of this embodiment, the mounting member 80 is fixed to the unit body 1a by the bolts 78 via the metal plate 70. Therefore, the mounting member 80 can be attached and detached simply by rotating (tightening and fixing, or loosening and removing) the bolt 78 using a tool such as a wrench, making it easy to attach and detach the mounting member 80 to the unit main body 1a, i.e., to attach and detach the exterior equipment E to the unit main body 1a.

[0075] In addition, in the mounting structure of this embodiment, a nut 71 into which the bolt 78 is threaded is integrally provided on the metal plate 70, and a recess 60 into which the nut 71 fits is provided on the outdoor side of the unit body 1a. Therefore, simply by fitting the nut 71 into the recess 60, the metal plate 70 can be attached to the unit body 1a at an accurate position, making positioning easy. It should be noted that the metal plate 70 and the nut 71 do not have to be integrated.

[0076] In the mounting structure of this embodiment, the nuts 71 are rivet nuts. Therefore, screw holes can be provided in the metal plate 70 without welding. The nut 71 is not limited to a rivet nut.

[0077] In addition, in the mounting structure of this embodiment, the unit body 1a is formed in a box shape and includes a floor (first floor 10), a roof 11, and side walls 12 to 15 provided between the floor 10 and the roof 11, and the side walls 12 to 15 are composed of a wooden column 61 and a wall wooden panel 62, and the specified area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) is the area within the outdoor side of the wooden column 61. Therefore, since the metal plate 70 is fixed to the wooden pole 61 of the side walls 12 to 15, the metal plate 70 can be maintained in a firmly fixed state.

[0078] The predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) is not limited to the area inside the outdoor side of the wooden column 61. The predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) may be an area that includes at least the area inside the outdoor side of the wooden column 61, and may be an area that includes both the area inside the outdoor side of the wooden column 61 and the area inside the outdoor side of the wall wood panel 62, as shown in Fig. 17, for example. Furthermore, the predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) may be an area within the exterior side of the wall wood panel 62. In other words, the predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) may not include an area within the exterior side of the wooden column 61. In this case, the recess 60 into which the nut 71 fits is preferably provided in the frame material of the wall wood panel 62. In addition, in this embodiment, the predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) is set on the outdoor side of the side walls 12 to 15, but this is not limiting. The predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) is set on the outdoor side of the unit body 1a, and can also be set on the outdoor side of the roof 11, for example.

[0079] In addition, in the mounting structure of this embodiment, the area of ​​the outdoor side of the unit main body 1a except for a specified area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) is covered with exterior material 50 (roof material 51, exterior wall material 52, etc.), and the metal plate 70 is covered with water drip material 76. Therefore, water can be prevented from penetrating through specific areas not covered by the exterior material 50 (areas covered by the metal plate 70), thereby preventing corrosion of wooden pillars, architectural wooden panels, etc.

[0080] In the mounting structure of this embodiment, the dripping material 76 is provided across the metal plate 70 and the exterior material 50 . Therefore, water can be prevented from penetrating between the metal plate 70 and the exterior material 50, and corrosion of wooden columns, architectural wooden panels, etc. can be prevented.

[0081] In addition, in the mounting structure of this embodiment, a cover member 81 can be attached from the outdoor side to a predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) of the outdoor side of the unit main body 1a when the mounting member 80 is not fixed to the predetermined area. Therefore, the predetermined area (recessed space) when the mounting member 80 is not fixed can be hidden by the cover member 81, and the appearance of the mobility unit 1 can be prevented from being impaired.

[0082] In addition, in the mounting structure of this embodiment, a waterproofing means (waterproof tape 74) is provided between the end of the metal plate 70 and the predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70). Therefore, water can be prevented from entering between the metal plate 70 and the outdoor side surface of the unit body 1a, and corrosion of wooden posts, architectural wooden panels, and the like can be prevented. It should be noted that the waterproofing means provided between the end of the metal plate 70 and the predetermined area (the area covered by the metal plate 70) is not limited to the waterproof tape 74.

[0083] In the mounting structure of this embodiment, a waterproofing means (caulking material 72) is provided between the recess 60 and the nut 71 fitted into the recess 60. Therefore, water can be prevented from entering between the nut 71 and the outdoor side surface of the unit body 1a, and corrosion of wooden posts, architectural wooden panels, and the like can be prevented. The waterproofing means provided between the recess 60 and the nut 71 fitted into the recess 60 is not limited to the caulking material 72 .

[0084] In the mounting structure of this embodiment, a waterproofing means (waterproof washer 79) is provided between the nut 71 and the head of the bolt 78 that is screwed onto the nut 71 from the outdoor side. Therefore, water can be prevented from entering between the bolt 78 and the nut 71, and corrosion of wooden pillars, architectural wooden panels, etc. can be prevented. The waterproofing means provided between the nut 71 and the head of the bolt 78 screwed onto the nut 71 from the outdoor side is not limited to the waterproofing washer 79 .

[0085] In the mounting structure of this embodiment, a waterproofing means (caulking material 77) is provided between the water dripping material 76 and the exterior material 50. Therefore, water can be prevented from penetrating between the water-repellent material 76 and the exterior material 50, and corrosion of wooden columns, architectural wooden panels, etc. can be prevented. The waterproofing means provided between the water-repellent material 76 and the exterior material 50 is not limited to the caulking material 77 .

[0086] Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a demand for the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting carbon neutrality, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero, and for the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), and in the construction industry, efforts are being made to build buildings using wood, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions.The unit body of the mobility unit 1 of this embodiment is mostly made of architectural wood panels, so it can contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting carbon neutrality and the achievement of the SDGs.
