[0040] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, the panel door elements 21a, 21b, and 21c that make up the air blocking door device 20 include a first panel door element 21a that closes the top of the first opening 15, a second panel door element 21b that is arranged below the first panel door element 21a, and a third panel door element 21c that is arranged below the second panel door element 21b.

[0041] The first panel door element 21a and the second panel door element 21b are arranged offset vertically so that the bottom end of the first panel door element 21a and the top end of the second panel door element 21b overlap in the vertical direction Z. The second panel door element 21b and the third panel door element 21c are arranged offset vertically so that the bottom end of the second panel door element 21b and the top end of the third panel door element 21c overlap in the vertical direction Z.

[0042] The first panel door element 21a is disposed in a position closest to the front wall 11. The second panel door element 21b is disposed on the outer side of the first panel door element 21a (the side away from the front wall 11). The third panel door element 21c is disposed on the outer side of the second panel door element 21b, and is disposed in a position farthest from the front wall 11 among the three panel door elements 21a, 21b, and 21c. The three panel door elements 21a, 21b, and 21c are disposed close to each other in the first direction X, leaving a gap therebetween that allows them to move in the up-and-down direction Z.

[0043] A support portion 21b1 is provided on the lower end of the second panel door element 21b, facing the first panel door element 21a. The support portion 21b1 protrudes from the second panel door element 21b toward the first panel door element 21a. When the second panel door element 21b moves upward, the support portion 21b1 comes into contact with the underside of the first panel door element 21a, supporting the first panel door element 21a.

[0044] A support portion 21c1 is provided on the lower end of the third panel door member 21c, facing the second panel door member 21b. The support portion 21c1 protrudes from the third panel door member 21c toward the second panel door member 21b. When the third panel door member 21c moves upward, the support portion 21c1 comes into contact with the lower surface of the second panel door member 21b, supporting the second panel door member 21b.

[0045] As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the opening and closing device 30 that moves the panel door members 21a, 21b, and 21c up and down includes a drive motor 32, a sprocket 33, a chain , and a counterweight .

[0046] The drive motor 32 is connected to a shaft 36 extending in the second direction Y via a gear (not shown). Sprockets 33 around which chains 34 are wound are provided on both ends of the shaft 36 in the second direction Y. A connecting piece 21c2 provided on the outer side of the third panel door member 21c in the second direction Y is fixed to one end of the chain 34, and a counterweight 35 is fixed to the other end of the chain 34. The counterweight 35 is housed in a weight box 38 provided on a support 37 that supports the drive motor 32 and the sprocket 33.

[0047] The drive motor 32 rotates the sprocket 33 via the shaft 36, thereby moving the third panel door element 21c fixed to one end of the chain 34 upward and downward. As the third panel door element 21c moves up and down, the counterweight 35 moves in the weight box 38 in the opposite direction to the third panel door element 21c, thereby assisting the movement of the third panel door element 21c.

[0048] The opening and closing device 30 moves the third panel door element 21c in the vertical direction Z by operating the drive motor 32, thereby moving the third panel door element 21c up and down between a position that blocks a predetermined portion of the first opening 15 and the door accommodating section 17 formed above the first opening 15.

[0049] 4 and 6, when the opening / closing device 30 rotates the drive motor 32 in one direction to move the third panel door element 21c upward from a state in which the first panel door element 21a, the second panel door element 21b, and the third panel door element 21c close the top of the first opening 15, the support portion 21c1 of the third panel door element 21c supports the underside of the second panel door element 21b, causing the second panel door element 21b to move upward together with the third panel door element 21c. When the second panel door element 21b moves upward, the support portion 21b1 of the second panel door element 21b supports the underside of the first panel door element 32a, causing the first panel door element 21a to move upward together with the second panel door element 21b. Then, the first panel door element 21a, the second panel door element 21b, and the third panel door element 21c are placed in the door accommodating portion 17 provided above the first opening 15, opening the first opening 15.

[0050] When the opening and closing device 30 rotates the drive motor 32 in the other direction to move the third panel door element 21c downward from a state in which the first opening 15 is opened by the first panel door element 21a, the second panel door element 21b, and the third panel door element 21c, the second panel door element 21b and the first panel door element 21a also move downward following the third panel door element 32c. Note that when the first panel door element 21a, the second panel door element 21b, and the third panel door element 21c, which are heavy objects, are moved downward, the drive motor 32 enters a power generating state and generates regenerative power, and therefore the opening and closing device 30 is configured to return the regenerative power generated in the drive motor 32 to the primary power line using a regenerative converter.

[0051] When the third panel door element 21c reaches a predetermined position, the opening and closing device 30 stops, and the third panel door element 21c is positioned so that it blocks a predetermined portion of the first opening 15. In addition, the first panel door element 21a and the second panel door element 21b are stopped at predetermined positions in the vertical direction Z by stoppers (not shown), and block a predetermined portion of the first opening 15.

[0052] Groove-shaped guide portions (not shown) extending in the vertical direction Z are provided on the outer sides of the first panel door member 21a, the second panel door member 21b, and the third panel door member 21c in the second direction Y. Both ends of the panel door members 21a, 21b, and 21c in the second direction Y are inserted into the guide portions, and movement in the vertical direction Z is guided by the guide portions.

[0068] 4, main body 23 is a box-shaped body with hollow portion 26 provided therein, and is disposed so as to cover a portion of first opening 15 from the outside. Main body 23 is provided with ventilation portion 27 on the surface facing first opening 15. Ventilation portion 27 includes, for example, door opening 27a provided on the surface of main body 23 facing first opening 15, and ventilation filter 27b covering said opening, and allows air in hollow portion 26 to move to the outside of main body 23.

[0069] The ventilation section 27 may be provided with ventilation filters 27b having the same opening ratio over the entire door opening 27a, or the opening ratio of the ventilation filters 27b may be varied depending on the position of the door opening 27a.

[0070] For example, if door-side connecting portions 24 are provided on both sides of the main body 23 in the second direction Y and air is introduced into the main body 23 from both sides in the second direction Y, it is preferable to set the aperture ratio of the ventilation filter 27b smaller in the center than at both ends in the second direction Y. When air is introduced into the main body 23 from both sides in the second direction Y, the air merges in the center in the second direction Y and tends to be blown out from the center in the second direction Y. However, by setting the aperture ratio of the ventilation filter 27b smaller in the center than at both ends in the second direction Y, the amount of air blown out from the door opening 27a can be made uniform in the second direction Y, making it easier to flow uniformly. In the main body 23, air pressurized from the air supply / exhaust device 50 is introduced into the cavity 26. The air introduced into the cavity 26 is supplied to the space S from the ventilation portion 27 through the first opening 15.

[0071] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the door-side connecting portion 24 is a duct that protrudes outward in the second direction Y from the main body portion 23 and opens downward. The door-side connecting portion 24 is connected to the air supply and exhaust device 50, which will be described later, when the main body portion 23 is in a state where a predetermined portion of the first opening 15 is closed. The door-side connecting portion 24 communicates with a cavity portion 26 formed in the main body portion 23, and when connected to the air supply and exhaust device 50, supplies air pressurized from the air supply and exhaust device 50 to the cavity portion 26. The support portion 25 includes an upper frame 25a provided on the top surface of the main body portion 23 and guide mounting portions 25b provided at both ends of the upper frame 25a in the second direction Y. The support portion 25 is formed, for example, by connecting multiple steel members together.

[0072] The upper frame 25a extends along the upper surface of the main body 23 in the second direction Y, outward in the second direction Y beyond the door-side connecting portion 24. The upper frame 25a is provided with a ring 25c for hooking onto a hook provided on the opening / closing device 40a.

[0073] The guide mounting portions 25b extend downward from both ends of the upper frame 25a in the second direction Y and are provided further outward in the second direction Y than the door-side connecting portions 24. The guide mounting portions 25b are provided with guide members that guide the movement of the vent door element 22a in the up-down direction Z. Specifically, a first guide roller 25d and a second guide roller 25e are provided as guide members on the surface of the guide mounting portions 25b facing outward in the second direction Y.

[0074] The first guide roller 25d is a roller that rotates around a rotation axis extending in the second direction Y. The second guide roller 25e is a roller that rotates around a rotation axis extending in the first direction X. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the guide mounting portion 25b has two first guide rollers 25d arranged at an interval in the vertical direction Z, and the second guide roller 25e is arranged between the first guide rollers 25d.

[0075] The first guide roller 25d and the second guide roller 25e move along a guide rail 43 that is provided outside the second direction Y and extends in the up-down direction Z. The guide rail 43 is fixed to a support 44 that extends upward from the floor surface 6. When the first ventilation door member 22a moves up and down, its movement in the first direction X is restricted by the first guide roller 25d, and its movement in the second direction Y is restricted by the second guide roller 25e.

[0076] The first ventilation door element 22a, the second ventilation door element 22b, and the third ventilation door element 22c are provided with opening and closing devices 40a, 40b, and 40c, respectively. The first ventilation door element 22a, the second ventilation door element 22b, and the third ventilation door element 22c are lifted up or lowered by the opening and closing devices 40a, 40b, and 40c, and move up and down between a position where they close a predetermined portion of the first opening 15 and a door receiving portion 17 formed above the first opening 15.

[0077] (7) Opening and closing devices 40a, 40b, and 40c Next, the opening and closing devices 40a, 40b, and 40c will be described.

[0078] The opening and closing device 40a is connected to the first ventilation door member 22a and lifts and lowers the first ventilation door member 22a. The opening and closing device 40b is connected to the second ventilation door member 22b and lifts and lowers the second ventilation door member 22b. The opening and closing device 40c is connected to the third ventilation door member 22c and lifts and lowers the third ventilation door member 22c.

[0079] The opening and closing devices 40a, 40b, and 40c have different ranges for suspending the first ventilation door element 22a, the second ventilation door element 22b, and the third ventilation door element 22c, but have the same basic configuration. Therefore, only the opening and closing device 40a will be described here, and the same components as those of the opening and closing device 40a will be assigned the same reference numerals, and descriptions of those components will be omitted.

[0080] The opening and closing device 40 a includes a support beam 41 provided above the first opening 15 of the booth body 10 , and a lifting machine 42 provided on the support beam 41 .

[0081] The support beam 41 extends in the second direction Y at a position above the door accommodating portion 17 that accommodates the vent door members 22a, 22b, 22c and the panel door members 21a, 21b, 21c when the first opening 15 is open.

[0082] Both ends of the support beam 41 in the second direction Y are supported by supports 44 extending in the vertical direction along guide rails 43 from the floor surface 6 on which the booth body 10 is provided. A plurality of (two in this embodiment) lifting machines 42, 42 are provided on the support beam 41 at intervals in the second direction Y.

[0083] The lifting machine 42 is, for example, a known two-point horizontal electric chain hoist equipped with a pair of load chains 42a, 42a. The lifting machine 42 has the pair of load chains 42a, 42a connected to the rings 42c of the first ventilation door member 22a. The lifting machine 42 simultaneously winds up and down the pair of load chains 42a, 42a, thereby horizontally lifting and lowering the first ventilation door member 22a at two locations spaced apart in the second direction Y. In this embodiment, two lifting machines 42, 42 spaced apart in the second direction Y are each connected to the first ventilation door member 22a at two locations spaced apart in the second direction Y, thereby horizontally lifting and lowering the first ventilation door member 22a at a total of four locations.

[0084] Such an opening and closing device 40a is provided with a first position sensor 45 and a second position sensor 46 that detect the vertical position of the first ventilation door member 22a, and a stopper 47 that prevents the first ventilation door member 22a from falling.

[0085] As shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, a plurality of first position sensors 45 are attached to both sides of the first ventilation door member 22a in the second direction Y at intervals in the up-down direction Z. The plurality of first position sensors 45 are, for example, limit switches, and are fixed to supports 44 that support the guide rail 43. When the first ventilation door member 22a passes a predetermined position in the up-down direction Z, the detection pieces of the plurality of first position sensors 45 arranged at corresponding positions are operated by operating units 28 provided on both sides of the first ventilation door member 22a in the second direction Y. In this way, the plurality of first position sensors 45 detect the position in the up-down direction Z of both ends of the first ventilation door member 22a in the second direction Y.

[0086] In addition, second position sensors 46 are provided at both ends of the support beam 41 in the second direction Y to detect the position in the up-down direction Z of the first ventilation door element 22a at both ends in the second direction Y. The second position sensors 46 detect the position in the up-down direction Z of the first ventilation door element 22a based on the different positions of the first position sensor 45 and the first ventilation door element 22a. The second position sensor 46 is a different type of sensor from the first position sensor 45, and is, for example, a wire-type displacement sensor. The second position sensors 46 measure the distance in the up-down direction Z from the support beam 41 to the upper frame 25a of the first ventilation door element 22a at both ends of the support beam 41 in the second direction Y.

[0087] 9 and 10, the stopper 47 includes a support plate 47a and a drive device 47b, such as an air cylinder, that moves the support plate 47a in the second direction Y. The stopper 47 is attached to a support 44 that supports the guide rail 43, and is disposed in the door accommodating section 17, on both sides of the first ventilation door member 22a in the second direction Y.

[0088] The support plate 47a is moved by the drive device 47b between a stop position below the first ventilation door member 22a arranged in the door accommodating section 17 and a retracted position further outward in the second direction Y than the first ventilation door member 22a.

[0089] The stopper 47 places the support plate 47a in a stop position to restrict downward movement of the first ventilation door element 22a while the first ventilation door element 22a is positioned in the door housing portion 17. When the first ventilation door element 22a moves downward from the door housing portion 17, the stopper 47 causes the drive device 47b to move the support plate 47a from the stop position to the retracted position. While the first ventilation door element 22a is positioned below the door housing portion 17, the stopper 47 continues to place the support plate 47a in the retracted position. Then, when the first ventilation door element 22a rises and is positioned in the door housing portion 17, the stopper 73 causes the drive device 73b to move the support plate 73a from the retracted position to the stop position, restricting downward movement of the first ventilation door element 22a.

[0090] 2 and 9, reference numeral 48 denotes an entry detection sensor that detects that a worker or object has entered below the first door device 18A. The entry detection sensor 48 is made up of an area scanner or the like, and detects that a person or object has entered a predetermined area including at least the areas below the first ventilation door member 22a, the second ventilation door member 22b, and the third ventilation door member 22c.

[0091] (8) Intake and exhaust equipment 50 Next, we will explain the air intake and exhaust device 50. As shown in Fig. 4, the air intake and exhaust device 50 includes a blower 52 provided in a housing 51, an air intake and exhaust side connecting part 53 connected to the door side connecting parts 24 provided on the first ventilation door member 22a, the second ventilation door member 22b, and the third ventilation door member 22c, and a duct 54 connecting the housing 51 and the air intake and exhaust side connecting part 53.

[0092] The air supply and exhaust device 50 pressurizes the air generated by the blower 52 through the duct 54 to the air supply and exhaust side connection part 53, thereby supplying air from the door side connection part 24 into the booth body 10 through the first ventilation door element 22a, the second ventilation door element 22b, and the third ventilation door element 22c.

[0093] In the air intake and exhaust device 50 of the air intake and exhaust door device 19 provided in the second door device 18B, the blower 52 sucks air inside the housing 51 and exhausts it to the outside, thereby drawing air inside the booth body 10 through the ventilation section 27 into the ventilation door members 22a, 22b, and 22c, and exhausting it to the outside of the booth body 10 via the door-side connecting member 24, the air intake and exhaust side connecting member 53, and the duct 54. In other words, by changing the air blowing direction of the blower 52, the air intake and exhaust device 50 can function as an air intake device that supplies air from the ventilation door members 22a, 22b, and 22c to the space S of the booth body 10, or as an exhaust device that sucks air from the space S of the booth body 10 through the ventilation door members 22a, 22b, and 22c and exhausts it to the outside.

[0094] 2 and 3, in this embodiment, two air intake and exhaust devices 50 are provided for one door device 18A. One air intake and exhaust device 50 is connected to a door-side connector 24 provided on one side of the first ventilation door element 22a, the second ventilation door element 22b, and the third ventilation door element 22c in the second direction Y. The other air intake and exhaust device 50 is connected to a door-side connector 24 provided on the other side of the first ventilation door element 22a, the second ventilation door element 22b, and the third ventilation door element 22c in the second direction Y.

[0095] As shown in Figures 6 to 10, the air supply / exhaust side connecting portion 53 includes a connection portion 53d to which one end of the duct 54 is connected, and a first fitting portion 53a, a second fitting portion 53b, and a third fitting portion 53c that communicate with the connection portion 53d.

[0096] The first fitting portion 53a is a cylindrical member that is positioned below the door-side connecting portion 24 of the first ventilation door member 22a and opens upward. As shown in Figures 6 to 8, when the first ventilation door member 22a is positioned at a predetermined position that closes the first opening 15, the door-side connecting portion 24 of the first ventilation door member 22a fits into the first fitting portion 53a, and the first ventilation door member 22a is connected to the intake / exhaust side connecting portion 53.

[0097] The second fitting portion 53b is a cylindrical member that is positioned below the door-side connecting portion 24 of the second ventilation door element 22b and opens upward. When the second ventilation door element 22b is positioned at a predetermined position that closes the first opening 15, the door-side connecting portion 24 of the second ventilation door element 22b fits into the second fitting portion 53b, and the second ventilation door element 22b is connected to the intake / exhaust side connecting portion 53.

[0098] The third fitting portion 53c is arranged below the door-side connecting portion 24 of the third ventilation door element 22c and has a cylindrical shape that opens upward. When the third ventilation door element 22c is arranged in a predetermined position that closes the first opening 15, the door-side connecting portion 24 of the third ventilation door element 22c fits into the third fitting portion 53c, and the third ventilation door element 22c is connected to the intake / exhaust side connecting portion 53.

[0099] In the air supply / exhaust side coupling 53 of this embodiment, the connection portion 53d is located at a position farthest from the front wall 11 of the booth body 10, and the third fitting portion 53c, the second fitting portion 53b, and the first fitting portion 53a are arranged and connected in series from the connection portion 53d toward the front wall 11 in this order. In the air supply / exhaust side coupling 53, air supplied from the duct 54 to the connection portion 53d flows into the third fitting portion 53c, a portion of which is supplied to the third vent door element 22c, and the remainder flows into the second fitting portion 53b. A portion of the air flowing into the second fitting portion 53b is supplied to the second vent door element 22b, and the remainder flows into the first fitting portion 53a and is supplied to the first vent door element 22a.

[0100] 7 and 8, flange-shaped seals 53e made of a rubber-like elastic material protruding inward may be provided around the periphery of the upward openings provided in the first fitting portion 53a, the second fitting portion 53b, and the third fitting portion 53c. The seals 53e are interposed between the first fitting portion 53a, the second fitting portion 53b, and the third fitting portion 53c and the door-side connecting portions 24 of the first ventilation door member 22a, the second ventilation door member 22b, and the third ventilation door member 22c, respectively, to provide a seal therebetween.

[0101] Furthermore, a flow rate adjusting unit 53f such as a damper may be provided between the first fitting portion 53a and the second fitting portion 53b or between the second fitting portion 53b and the third fitting portion 53c. The flow rate adjusting unit 53f adjusts the flow rate of air flowing from the first fitting portion 53a to the second fitting portion 53b and the flow rate of air flowing from the second fitting portion 53b to the third fitting portion 53c, thereby adjusting the flow rate of air supplied from the first fitting portion 53a, the second fitting portion 53b, and the third fitting portion 53c to the first ventilation door member 22a, the second ventilation door member 22b, and the third ventilation door member 22c.

[0102] The intake and exhaust device 50 can be switched between an intake device and an exhaust device by simply changing the airflow direction of the blower 52. However, the type and rated output of the blower 52 may be different when the intake and exhaust device 50 is functioning as an intake device and when it is functioning as an exhaust device, or the filters and straightening plates provided in the ventilation section 27 of the ventilation door members 22a, 22b, and 22c may be different, or the opening degree of the flow rate adjustment section 53f that adjusts the amount of air flowing through the first fitting section 53a, the second fitting section 53b, and the third fitting section 53c may be different.

[0103] (9) Control device 70 As shown in FIG. 11, the work booth 1 includes a control device 70 having a processing device such as a computer and a storage device such as a memory, and an operation unit 72 for operating the control device 70.

[0104] The control device 70 is connected to the drive motor 32 of the opening / closing device 30, the lifting machine 42 of the opening / closing devices 30a, 30b, and 30c, the drive device 47b of the stopper 47, the blower 52 of the air supply and exhaust device 50, the first position sensor 45, the second position sensor 46, and the entry detection sensor 48.

[0105] The control device 70 controls the operation of the work booth 1 by controlling the operation of the drive motor 32, the lifting machine 42, the drive device 47b, and the blower 52 based on signals input from the operating unit 72, the first position sensor 45, the second position sensor 46, and the entry detection sensor 48, and a control program stored in the memory device.

[0106] (10) Operation of Work Booth 1 To use the work booth 1 described above, at least one of the first door device 18A and the second door device 18B (for example, the first door device 18A) opens at least one of the first opening 15 and the second opening 16 (for example, the first opening 15), as shown in Figures 9 and 10. That is, the opening and closing device 30 of the air blocking door device 20 moves the panel door elements 21a, 21b, and 21c upward to accommodate them in the door accommodating section 17, and the opening and closing devices 40a, 40b, and 40c of the air supply and exhaust door device 19 move the vent door elements 22a, 22b, and 22c upward to accommodate them in the door accommodating section 17.

[0107] Then, the holding device 2 holding the workpiece W moves into the booth body 10 through the first opening 15 and carries the workpiece W into the space S.

[0108] Thereafter, the opening / closing device 30 of the air-blocking door device 20 moves the panel door elements 21a, 21b, and 21c downward from the door accommodating section 17 to block the upper part of the first opening 15, and the opening / closing devices 40a, 40b, and 40c of the air supply / exhaust door device 19 move the ventilation door elements 22a, 22b, and 22c downward from the door accommodating section 17 to block the lower part of the first opening 15.

[0109] 4 and 6 to 8, when the ventilation door elements 22a, 22b, and 22c are placed in predetermined positions to close the bottom of the first opening 15, the door-side connecting portion 24 of the first ventilation door element 22a fits into the first fitting portion 53a of the air intake / exhaust side connecting portion 53, the door-side connecting portion 24 of the second ventilation door element 22b fits into the second fitting portion 53b of the air intake / exhaust side connecting portion 53, and the door-side connecting portion 24 of the third ventilation door element 22c fits into the third fitting portion 53c of the air intake / exhaust side connecting portion 53. This connects the ventilation door elements 22a, 22b, and 22c to the air intake / exhaust device 50.

[0110] When the first opening 15 is closed by the air blocking door device 20 and the air supply / exhaust door device 19, it is preferable that the panel door elements 21a, 21b, and 21c are moved downward from the door accommodating section 17 so that the air blocking door device 20 closes the first opening 15, and then the ventilation door elements 22a, 22b, and 22c are moved downward from the door accommodating section 17 so that the air supply / exhaust door device 19 closes the first opening 15.

[0111] Furthermore, when the air intake / exhaust door device 19 closes the first opening 15, it is preferable to move the first ventilation door element 22a, the second ventilation door element 22b, and the third ventilation door element 22c downward from the door accommodating section 17 in that order to close the first opening 15.

[0112] Then, when the first door device 18A closes the first opening 15 and the second door device 18B closes the second opening 16, the air intake and exhaust device 50 of one of the first door device 18A and the second door device 18B (for example, the first door device 18A) functions as an air intake device, and the air intake and exhaust device 50 of the other (for example, the second door device 18B) functions as an exhaust device.

[0113] As a result, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, the air intake and exhaust device 50 of the first door device 18A, which functions as an air intake device, supplies air pressurized from the blower 52 through the duct 54, the air intake and exhaust side connecting portion 53, and the door side connecting portion 24 to the hollow portion 26 of the ventilation door members 22a, 22b, and 22c, and then supplies the air from the ventilation portion 27 to the space S of the booth body 10.

[0114] The air supplied to the space S flows from one side to the other in the first direction X within the space S, and is then taken into the cavity 26 through the ventilation section 27 of the second door device 18B, which functions as an exhaust device. The air taken into the cavity 26 of the ventilation door members 22a, 22b, and 22c returns to the housing 51 through the door-side connecting section 24, the air supply / exhaust-side connecting section 53, and the duct 54, and is then exhausted to the outside through an exhaust pipe (not shown).

[0115] As a result, a push-pull ventilation passage is formed inside the booth body 10, forcing air in and out from the ventilation section 27 of the first door device 18A and the ventilation section 27 of the second door device 18B, which face each other in the first direction X, and ventilating the space S with a uniform air flow.

[0116] In this embodiment, vent door members 22a, 22b, and 22c are arranged below the first opening 15 and the second opening 16, and panel door members 21a, 21b, and 21c are arranged above the first opening 15 and the second opening 16. Therefore, in this embodiment, within the space S of the booth body 10, the lower portion of the space S sandwiched between the vent door members 22a, 22b, and 22c of the first door device 18A and the second door device 18B is ventilated by a uniform air flow.

[0117] Then, when work is completed in the space S of the booth body 10, the air-blocking door device 20 and the air intake / exhaust door device 19 are operated in at least one of the first door device 18A and the second door device 18B, and the panel door elements 21a, 21b, 21c and the ventilation door elements 22a, 22b, 22c are moved upward to open at least one of the first opening 15 and the second opening 16.

[0118] When the ventilation door members 22a, 22b, 22c are moving downward or upward, the first position sensor 45 and the second position sensor 46 detect the positions of the ventilation door members 22a, 22b, 22c in the up-down direction Z. The detection results from the first position sensor 45 and the second position sensor 46 are transmitted to the control device 70. The control device 70 detects an operational abnormality in the air supply / exhaust door device 19 based on the detection results from the first position sensor 45 and the second position sensor 46.

[0119] Specifically, the multiple first position sensors 45 detect the positions in the up-down direction Z of the vent door members 22a, 22b, 22c at both ends in the second direction Y. The control device 70 calculates the deviation in the up-down direction Z position between one end and the other end of the vent door members 22a, 22b, 22c in the second direction Y from the detection values ​​of the multiple first position sensors 45. Furthermore, the second position sensor 46 detects the positions in the up-down direction Z of the vent door members 22a, 22b, 22c at both ends in the second direction Y. The control device 70 calculates the deviation in the up-down direction Z position between one end and the other end of the vent door members 22a, 22b, 22c in the second direction Y from the detection values ​​of the second position sensor 46.

[0120] If at least one of the deviations in the vertical direction Z calculated based on the detection results of the multiple first position sensors 45 and second position sensors 46 is greater than a predetermined value, the control device 70 determines that the air intake and exhaust door device 19 is operating abnormally, stops the lifting machine 42, and notifies the worker of the abnormality.

[0121] In addition, when the intrusion detection sensor 48 detects that a person or object has entered a specified area including the area below the first ventilation door member 22a, the second ventilation door member 22b, and the third ventilation door member 22c, the control device 70 stops the lifting machine 42 or prohibits the operation of the lifting machine 42.

[0122] (11) Effects In the first door device 18A and the second door device 18B of this embodiment, the ventilation door elements 22a, 22b, and 22c that open and close the openings 15 and 16 are connected to the air intake and exhaust device 50 with the openings 15 and 16 closed, so that outside air can be supplied to the space S in the booth body 10 through the ventilation door elements 22a, 22b, and 22c, or the air in the space S can be exhausted to the outside. In other words, in this embodiment, outside air can be supplied or exhausted to the outside through the openings 15 and 16 through which the workpiece W is carried in and out of the booth body 10. Therefore, there is a high degree of freedom in the arrangement of the air intake and exhaust device 50 relative to the booth body 10.

[0123] In particular, when the space S of the booth body 10 is long in the direction in which the work W is carried in, as in this embodiment, the cross-sectional area perpendicular to the air flow direction in the space S becomes small, and the amount of air flow required for ventilation can be reduced.

[0124] In this embodiment, the plurality of vent door members 22a, 22b, 22c are arranged offset in the vertical direction Z so that portions of the plurality of vent door members 22a, 22b, 22c overlap in the vertical direction Z, and therefore it is possible to prevent the size and weight of the individual vent door members 22a, 22b, 22c from increasing even when the door devices 18A, 18B open and close large openings 15, 16. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size of the opening and closing devices 40a, 40b, 40c that move the vent door members 22a, 22b, 22c up and down.

[0125] In this embodiment, the vent door members 22a, 22b, and 22c close the lower portions of the openings 15 and 16 in the booth body 10, and the panel door members 21a, 21b, and 21c close the upper portions of the openings 15 and 16, so that the area through which air circulates in the space S of the booth body 10 can be limited to the lower portion of the space S. This ensures air circulation in the area where workers perform their work, while reducing the air circulation in the upper portion of the space S where no workers are present, thereby reducing the air circulation required for ventilation.
