Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a variable-type closet, and more particularly to a variable-type closet in which a passage portion is formed between a side dressing room and a center dressing room, and a user can easily enter and exit both sides of the side dressing room and the center dressing room through a door portion provided in the passage portion.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, a closet is a chest that can be installed on a wall or installed inside a wall so that it cannot be moved, and a storage portion for storing clothes, bedding, etc. is formed inside.

[0003] In the internal storage space of such a closet, pests and mold can be generated due to moisture, which may damage clothes and bedding and induce an unpleasant odor, and may also induce respiratory diseases due to bacteria and the like that have propagated in clothes and bedding. And since the closet is installed on the indoor wall, the structure of the closet made of wood may bend or twist due to a humid environment.

[0004] In addition, because the inside is humid, it is likely to become an environment where mold and other insects are likely to inhabit. At this time, since the back surface of the closet is composed of a thin plywood (wood), problems such as deformation, rotting, and odor also occur.

[0005] Furthermore, the existing dehumidification structure of the closet only performs a function of dehumidifying only limitedly on the articles stored inside the closet, so plywood and the like forming the back surface and both side surfaces of the closet are bent by moisture, and there are limitations in preventing the generation of mold and the inhabitation of pests.

[0006] And although the closet has an advantage in terms of space utilization because it is a chest installed on the wall, it is difficult to remove dust and the like that accumulate in the space between the closet and the wall because it is not easy to separate and move after the closet is installed.

[0007] Furthermore, a space is formed between the closet and the wall, and condensation occurs in this space due to the temperature difference between the wall and the back of the closet, providing a breeding ground for mold. This mold then negatively affects not only the air in the room but also the clothes and bedding stored inside the closet. Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating a conventional closet.

[0008] As shown in Figure 1, a conventional closet 10 comprises a body 20 that constitutes the storage space, and a door 30 that is rotatably installed on the front of the body 20 and can open and close the inside of the body 20. A stand 40 for placing clothing is installed on the upper inside of the torso 20, and the lower part is configured to store bedding or small items.

[0009] On the other hand, the room is furnished with a variety of furniture, such as beds and TVs, according to the user's preferences, and such furniture is generally placed against the wall or positioned close to it.

[0010] However, conventional closets 10 have a door 30 on the front for opening and closing the interior, which makes it difficult to place other furniture (such as a TV or bed) in front of the closet 10. This presents disadvantages in terms of space utilization and ease of use. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

As shown in Figure 2, the variable closet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a side dressing room 110, a center dressing room 120, and a passageway 130.

[0035] More specifically, as shown in Figures 2 and 7, the variable closet 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a variable closet installed in a living room or room as a built-in structure for storing clothes or bedding, and includes a space 111 inside in which clothes can be placed, with at least one side dress room 110 having clothes racks 113 installed in the front-to-back direction in the space 111, a main space 121 having clothes can be placed inside in the main space 121 having a pair of main clothes racks 123 installed in the front-to-back direction in the main space 121, and a center dress room 120 that separates one side of the side dress room 110 from the center dress room 120 to form a space, and includes a passage 130 having a door 131 to allow entry and exit to the space.

[0036] Referring to Figures 2 and 7, the side dressing rooms 110 may be provided in pairs, with at least one depending on the size of the living room or other room, or two may be placed on each side of the center dressing room 120. Alternatively, one side dressing room 110 may be installed on one side of the center dressing room 120.

[0037] For example, if the living room or other room is small, a basic structure can be formed by installing one side dressing room 110 and one passageway 130, or by arranging a pair of side dressing rooms 110, placing a center dressing room 120 between them, and installing a pair of passageways 130 on either side of the center dressing room 120. If the living room or other room is large, an extended structure can be formed by installing three or more side dressing rooms 110 and passageways 130.

[0038] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the side dressing room 110 has a single clothes rack 113 installed in the front-to-back direction in the space 111 so that clothes can be stored, and the user can enter the passageway 130 and select clothes stored on the clothes rack 113 through the space 111.

[0039] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, the side dressing room 110 allows for the adjustment of the space 111 by adjusting the length L, thereby adjusting the length of the clothes rack 113 on which clothes can be placed, and thus the amount of clothes that can be placed can be freely adjusted.

[0040] Referring to Figures 2 to 7, the center dressing room 120 is located in the middle, with side dressing rooms 110 positioned on either side at regular intervals. A pair of main coat racks 123 are installed in the main space 121 of the center dressing room 120, extending in the front-to-back direction.

[0041] Furthermore, the center dressing room 120 can have a storage groove 127 formed on its front for storing the TV 1, a bed head 2 installed, or one of the bookshelves installed. Here, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the front of the center dressing room 120 itself may be replaced by a bed head. Furthermore, the storage groove 127 can be made to change its size, allowing for various sizes of TVs 1 to be stored in the storage groove 127.

[0042] In this type of center dressing room 120, the length L can be adjusted to adjust the main space 121, similar to the side dressing room 110 described above. This allows for adjustment of the length of the main clothes rack 123 on which clothes can be placed, thereby freely adjusting the amount of clothes that can be placed.

[0043] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 8, the facility may have at least one center dressing room 120, and side dressing rooms 110 may be arranged between each center dressing room 120.

[0044] As an example, three center dressing rooms 120 are arranged, and passageways 130 are placed between each center dressing room 120, so that the main space 121 formed inside the center dressing room 120 is connected to the passageways 130, allowing one to enter one of the passageways 130 and exit the other.

[0045] On the other hand, as illustrated in Figures 7 and 8, the length L and width W of the side dressing room 110 and center dressing room 120 of the present invention can be formed in a variety of sizes. To reiterate, the length L of the side dressing room 110 and center dressing room 120 can be set to 800 mm, the width W of the side dressing room 110 to 550 mm, the width W of the passageway 130 to 700-940 mm, and the width W of the center dressing room 120 to 550 mm. This is just one example to illustrate the present invention, and the aforementioned length L and width W can be varied depending on the size of the living room or other room.

[0046] Furthermore, as illustrated in Figures 9 and 10, the front surfaces of the side dressing rooms 110 and the center dressing room 120, as well as the front surface of the door 131, are constructed in the same form and design. Therefore, when viewed with the naked eye, the exterior can be made to look like an art wall rather than a closet, creating a beautiful and stylish appearance.

[0047] In particular, as shown in Figures 2 and 10, the door 131 formed in the passageway 130 (described later) can be opened, allowing free movement through the space 111 and the main space 121 to select clothing stored in the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120. A detailed explanation of this will be provided in the openings described below.

[0048] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, one of the following can be installed on the front of each of the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120: a display shelf 3, a dressing table 4, a chest of drawers 5, or a storage shelf 6.

[0049] In other words, in a one-room apartment or a small space, the front of the side dressing room 110 can be closed off and any of the desired items from the display shelves 3, dressing tables 4, chests of drawers 5, and storage shelves 6 can be installed to increase the usable space, and the desired clothing can be selected through the passageway 130, thereby making even small spaces more efficient to use.

[0050] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, it is preferable that auxiliary doors 115 and 125 be installed at the openings of the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 so that they can be opened and closed, respectively.

[0051] Here, as shown in Figures 7 and 10, the openings open the space 111 formed inside the side dressing room 110, connecting it to the passageway 130, and open the main space 121 formed inside the center dressing room 120, connecting both sides of the center dressing room 120 to the passageway 130.

[0052] The auxiliary doors 115 and 125 are equipped with sensors S and configured to open and close automatically. They may be configured to open automatically when a user approaches and close after a predetermined time has elapsed since the user left.

[0053] Referring to Figures 2 to 7, the passageway 130 separates one side of the side dressing room 110 from the center dressing room 120, forming a space, and is equipped with a door 131 to allow entry and exit to the space.

[0054] In other words, a passageway 130 is formed between the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120, which is a space in which the user can move, and a door 131 is installed in front of the passageway 130 so as to be able to be opened and closed.

[0055] Therefore, the passageway 130 enters the main space 121 through the space 111, allowing the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 to be used. In particular, the passageway section 130 is designed so that its bottom and walls are exposed, and the width of the door 131 can be adjusted to correspond to the distance of the separated spaces.

[0056] For example, when forming the passage section 130 of the present invention in a typical closet, the passage is formed as a single unit by connecting furniture, so if the size of the living room or room changes due to moving, the closet must be installed in the new size. On the other hand, if the bottom and walls of the passage section 130 are exposed, the size of the door 131 can be adjusted and reused.

[0057] In other words, as shown in Figure 7, by expanding or shrinking the width of the passageway 130 to correspond to the size of the living room or other room, and by adjusting the width of the door 131 to correspond to the passageway 130, it becomes possible to reuse it. Furthermore, the passageway 130 can be used as a secret space, such as a safe, an ironing area, or a tool display area.

[0058] Referring to Figures 2 and 7, the door 131 is installed on the front of the passageway 130 so as to be openable and closable, and can be installed not only as a hinged door but also as a sliding door (not shown). In other words, it is configured so that one can enter the passageway 130 through the door 131 and conveniently use both the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120. Therefore, it is preferable that the passageway 130 be formed to an appropriate size so as not to interfere with the user's movements.

[0059] Figure 11 is a plan view illustrating a variable-type closet according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 12 is a block diagram illustrating automatic humidity control in the side dressing room and center dressing room of a variable-type closet according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Figures 11 and 12 show a variable closet 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The same drawing numbers are used for components identical to those of the variable closet 100 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, and detailed explanations for these components are omitted. Only the additional components will be described in detail.

[0061] As shown in Figures 11 and 12, another embodiment of the present invention, the variable closet 200, includes a side dressing room 110, a center dressing room 120, a passageway 130, a humidity sensor 140, a moisture remover 150, and a control unit 160.

[0062] More specifically, the variable closet 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a side dressing room 110, a center dressing room 120, a passageway 130, a humidity sensor 140 installed in the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 to detect humidity, a dehumidifier 150 for removing humidity when the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 140 exceeds a preset level, and a control unit 160 that receives a detection signal from the humidity sensor 140 and automatically controls the operation of the dehumidifier 150 when the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 140 exceeds a preset level.

[0063] Another embodiment of the present invention, the variable closet 200, detects the humidity in the side dressing room 110 and the center dressing room 120 and automatically removes the humidity, thereby keeping clothing and bedding always dry and clean, and maintaining cleanliness at all times to prevent the growth of mold and other fungi. The moisture remover 150 may consist of, for example, a heater or a moisture removal filter that sucks in and removes moisture.

[0064] The control unit 160 is configured to send humidity and operating information of the moisture remover 150 to the user's mobile phone 170 via the internet, allowing the user to check the humidity inside the variable-type closet and the operating status of the moisture remover in real time, even from a remote location.

[0065] As explained above, the detailed description of the present invention has described preferred embodiments of the invention, but this is merely an illustrative description of the best embodiments of the invention and does not limit the invention. Furthermore, it goes without saying that anyone with ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs can make various modifications and imitations without departing from the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.

[0066] Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but can be embodied in various forms within the scope of the attached claims. Furthermore, the scope of the claims of the present invention shall be considered to extend to a wide range of modifications that can be made by any person with ordinary skill in the art to which the invention belongs, without departing from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the claims.
