Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a temporary room unit.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, when an infectious disease such as seasonal influenza is prevalent, in a medical institution, in order to isolate the patient from those who are not infected with influenza or the like, the patient is accommodated in an isolation room (negative pressure room) provided in each medical institution.

[0003] However, in a situation where an infectious disease has spread explosively in recent years, such as the novel coronavirus infectious disease, there is a problem that the number of isolation rooms provided in medical institutions is not sufficient.

[0004] Therefore, it is desired that even when a large number of infected persons occur by installing a temporary negative pressure room outdoors or in a large building. For example, in Non-Patent Document 1 below, a simple negative pressure room assembled by pipes is disclosed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, the technology described in Non-Patent Document 1, while a negative pressure booth that can be folded using pipes, still has issues with its strength. In particular, it may be exposed to strong winds and rain outdoors, and it needs to be able to withstand these conditions sufficiently. Furthermore, the technology described in Non-Patent Document 1 lacks an entrance and exit, making it difficult for doctors and patients to enter and exit. This is a major problem in emergencies where every second counts. In addition, if various equipment needs to be installed inside the negative pressure booth, it is necessary to bring in wiring cords separately, but the technology does not adequately accommodate the installation of such equipment.

[0007] Incidentally, while the use of temporary rooms as negative pressure booths is one suitable example, their use is not necessarily limited to negative pressure booths. They could also be used as first-aid rooms for emergency patients at outdoor events, or as private rooms.

[0008] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a temporary room unit that can be easily installed, has sufficient strength, allows for easy entry and exit, and is also capable of adequately accommodating the installation of electrical equipment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] A temporary room unit according to one aspect of the present invention that solves the above problems comprises a door unit having a door member and a door frame member, a plurality of column members, a plurality of beam members and a plurality of floor frame members for connecting the door unit and the column members, or the column members to each other, and a temporary room is formed by combining the door unit, the plurality of column members, the plurality of beam members and the plurality of floor frame members, while the door unit, the plurality of column members, the plurality of beam members and the plurality of floor frame members can be separated and stored.

[0010] Furthermore, although not limited to this viewpoint, it is preferable that at least one of the door frame members, column members, beam members, and floor frame members is made of a hollow metal square column, and that electrical wiring is inserted into the hollow of at least one of the door frame members, column members, beam members, and floor frame members.

[0011] Furthermore, although not limited to this viewpoint, it is preferable that electrical wiring inserted into door frame members, column members, beam members, or floor frame members has a connection connector near each end and is connectable to adjacent door frame members, column members, beam members, or floor frame members.

[0012] Furthermore, although not limited to this viewpoint, it is preferable that the multiple beam members and multiple floor frame members are provided with projections and fasteners near both ends, and that the column members and door frame members have holes formed near both ends for inserting the projections of the multiple beam members and multiple floor frame members.

[0013] Furthermore, while not limited to this perspective, it is preferable to have ceiling units that can be spanned between beam members.

[0014] Furthermore, from this perspective, although not limited thereto, it is preferable to have a negative pressure unit.

[0015] Furthermore, although not limited to this viewpoint, it is preferable to have a wall member that covers the plane formed by the door unit, column member, column member and floor frame member.

[0016] Furthermore, from this perspective, although not limited thereto, it is preferable to include curtain rails stretched across multiple beam members and curtains installed on the curtain rails.

[0017] Furthermore, although not limited to this viewpoint, it is preferable to have a light switch installed on the door frame member. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] In summary, the present invention provides a temporary room unit that is easy to install, yet ensures sufficient strength, allows for easy entry and exit, and is fully capable of accommodating the installation of electrical equipment. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms, and the specific examples described in the following embodiments and examples can also be appropriately changed and adjusted, and are not limited thereto.

[0021] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the temporary room unit 1 according to this embodiment. This figure is a schematic diagram of the unit when assembled as a temporary room. Note that this figure is an example without the wall members 8, and Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the temporary room unit 1 with the wall members 8 attached.

[0022] As shown in this figure, the temporary room unit 1 comprises a door unit 2 having a door member 21 and a door frame member 22, a plurality of column members 3, a plurality of beam members 4 and a plurality of floor frame members 5 for connecting the door unit 2 and the column members 3, or the column members 3 to each other. The door unit 2, the plurality of column members 3, the plurality of beam members 4 and the plurality of floor frame members 5 can be combined to form a temporary room, while the door unit 2, the plurality of column members 3, the plurality of beam members 4 and the plurality of floor frame members 5 can be separated and stored.

[0023] This temporary room unit 1 is divisible into multiple components, and by providing a door unit 2 having a door member 21 and a door frame member 22, it is easy to assemble and yet allows easy access to the interior, making it very simple and user-friendly. Furthermore, as will be clear from the description below, it can also be used very conveniently when installing electrical equipment inside the temporary room unit 1. In addition, in the preferred example described below, a curtain rail is also provided, making it possible to prevent the interior from being seen from the outside, even though it is a simple design.

[0024] First, this temporary room unit 1 has a door unit 2. As described above, the door unit 2 has a door member 21 and a door frame member 22. Figure 3 shows a schematic of the door unit 2.

[0025] In door unit 2, door member 21 is a component that functions as a door, literally serving as an entrance and exit. Door member 21 is connected to door frame member 22 so as to be able to open and close. In this example, a so-called hinged door that can be opened and closed with components such as hinges is shown, but as long as the size of this temporary room unit 1 allows, other types of doors may be used, such as sliding doors that open and close along rails with grooves formed in them. In some cases, a so-called accordion curtain, which is a sliding door that can be folded, is also possible.

[0026] Furthermore, it is preferable that the door member 21 of the door unit 2 is fitted with a window 211. By fitting the window 211, it becomes possible to ventilate the air in the temporary room unit 1 through the window 211, and in particular, if a negative pressure unit is placed inside the temporary room unit 1, outside air can be taken into the temporary room unit 1 through the window 211 without directly exhausting the internal air.

[0027] Furthermore, it is preferable that the door unit 2 is fitted with a knob 212. The knob 212 allows the user to open and close the door member 21. The knob 212 does not necessarily have to be fitted with a lock, but it is preferable to have one to enhance security.

[0028] The material of the door components is not particularly limited, and it is preferable that they be made of metal, resin, or wood, but it is preferable that they be made of metal from the viewpoint of preservation and strength.

[0029] Furthermore, in the door unit 2, the door frame member 22 supports the door member 21 so that it can be opened and closed, and is also connectable to other members (for example, beam members and floor frame members).

[0030] The door frame member 22 is not limited insofar as it supports the door member 21 and allows connection to other members, but it is generally preferable that it is provided on all four sides of the rectangular door member 21. Covering all four sides of the door member 21 makes it easier to eliminate gaps between the door member and other members and to make connection to other members easier. However, the bottom edge of the door member 21 (the edge that touches the ground) acts as a threshold, and if this height is high, there is a risk that the user may trip when stepping over it, so it is also preferable to have a configuration without a frame member on the bottom edge. In such a case, the airtightness can be improved by providing a flexible, soft material (for example, rubber) on the bottom edge.

[0031] Furthermore, the material of the door frame member 22 is not limited as long as it can stably maintain the strength of the temporary room unit 1, but it is preferably metal, and more preferably aluminum. Using aluminum makes it possible to reduce weight. Also, although not limited, the door frame member 22 is preferably composed of a hollow metal rectangular prism. This makes it possible to reliably connect each face to other members. In addition, by making the door frame member 22 a hollow metal, it becomes possible to insert electrical wiring inside, eliminating the need for complex electrical wiring. In this case, it is preferable that the inserted electrical wiring has a connection connector EC near each end and can be connected to a connection connector EC of an adjacent beam member or the like.

[0032] Furthermore, it is preferable that the temporary room unit 1 be equipped with a light switch 23, and that this light switch 23 be installed on the door frame member 22. Installing the light switch 23 on the door frame member 22 makes it easy to operate the light switch when entering the room. It is preferable that this light switch 23 is connected to electrical wiring inserted into the door frame member 22, as will be described later, so that it can receive power.

[0033] Furthermore, if the door frame member 22 is hollow, it is preferable that electrical wiring is inserted into this hollow portion, pulled out at least one location on the frame member, and fitted with a connection connector EC. This makes it easy to disassemble the temporary unit 1, and after assembling the temporary unit 1, it is possible to efficiently run the electrical wiring within the temporary unit 1 by connecting it to the connection connector EC of other adjacent members. In particular, since the switch 23 for the lighting is provided on the door frame member 22, it can be easily installed without having to worry too much about the positional relationship with the power source by connecting it to other members. An image of the case when the connection connector EC is attached is shown in Figure 4. Also, as will be described later, in the same way, electrical wiring is inserted inside each member of the temporary room unit 1 and connected with connectors, and these form an electrical wiring network EL for the entire temporary room unit 1, but it is preferable that power can be supplied from the outside from a single connector. This makes it possible to supply power to the entire device of the temporary room unit 1 by leaving only one connector exposed. While the shape and type of this connector can be adjusted as appropriate and are not limited, when connecting to an external power supply, it is preferable to use a connector shape suitable for connecting to that external power supply (for example, a general-purpose plug shape).

[0034] Furthermore, as will become clear from the description below, it is preferable that the door frame member 22 has holes H formed near both the upper and lower ends for inserting the projections of the beam member 4 and the floor frame member 5. This ensures a secure connection with the beam member 4 and the floor frame member 5. Conversely, if the beam member and the floor member have these holes H formed, it is preferable that the door frame member 22 is provided with projections P and fasteners F near both the upper and lower ends. Figure 5 shows an image of the holes H and the projections P and fasteners F to be inserted in this case. As shown in this figure, it is preferable that the hole H is divided into an insertion hole H1, which is a larger hole, and an elongated hooking hole H2 connected to the insertion hole H1, while the projection P is divided into a tip projection P1 with a bulging end and an elongated plate-shaped hooking projection P2. In this configuration, the user first inserts the tip projection P1 into the insertion hole H1 of the hole H, and then slides the projection P (on the beam member 4, floor frame member 5, or door member 21 to which the projection P is attached) in a direction approximately perpendicular to the insertion direction, thereby engaging the hooking hole H2 with the hooking projection P2. This ensures a secure connection and fixation. The fixing device F then secures the fixation. The fixing device F is preferably a screw member, and the hole is preferably a corresponding screw hole H3.

[0035] The relationship between this hole and the fastener is the same for the connections of other components. Furthermore, as shown in this figure, the projection P and the fastener F are attached to a plate-shaped backing material B, and by adding a diagonal brace C to this plate-shaped backing material B, the strength can be further increased. In particular, by providing the plate-shaped backing material B, it is possible to stably position the projection P and the fastener F between components that would normally be connected perpendicularly, which is an advantage.

[0036] Furthermore, as described later, at least two beam members 4 and two floor frame members 5 are connected to the door frame member 22, and it is preferable that these be connected from substantially perpendicular directions. In particular, by connecting the two floor frame members 5 from substantially perpendicular directions, the door frame member 22 can be made self-supporting. As a result, the door frame member 22 will not fall over even if you let go, and the temporary room unit 1 can be easily installed by a small number of people.

[0037] Furthermore, this temporary room unit 1 has multiple column members 3. Figure 6 shows a schematic of the column members 3. Each column member 3 is connected to two beam members 4 and two floor frame members 5, as described later. It is also preferable that the column members 3 are equipped with outlet units for supplying power to devices installed inside. This eliminates the need for complex wiring and allows for simple electrical wiring for each temporary room unit 1.

[0038] Furthermore, while the material of the column member 3 is not limited as long as it can stably maintain the strength of the temporary room unit 1, it is preferably metal, and more preferably aluminum. Using aluminum makes it possible to reduce weight. Also, while the column member 3 is not limited, it is preferably composed of a hollow metal square column. This makes it possible to reliably connect to other members on each face. In addition, by making the column member 3 a hollow metal, it becomes possible to insert electrical wiring inside, eliminating the need for complex electrical wiring without damaging the wiring. In this case, it is preferable that the inserted electrical wiring has a connection connector EC near each end and can be connected to a connection connector EC of an adjacent door frame member, etc. The image of this case is shown in Figure 4 above. In particular, in the case of the column member 3, it is preferable to have a connection connector for connecting to the outside. The column member 3 is located at a corner and is a suitable connection point for connecting to an external power source. By starting from this connection connector EC, power can be supplied to the entire temporary room unit 1, which has the advantage of eliminating the need for complex electrical wiring. Of course, this connection connector EC for external connection may be attached to other members as much as possible.

[0039] Furthermore, similar to the door frame member 22 described above, it is preferable that holes H for inserting the projections of the beam member 4 and floor frame member 5 are formed near both the upper and lower ends of the column member 3. This ensures a secure connection with the beam member 4 and floor frame member 5. Conversely, if these holes H are formed in the beam member 4 and floor member 5, it is preferable that the column member 3 is provided with projections P and fasteners F near both the upper and lower ends, as well as plate-shaped backing material B to support them.

[0040] Furthermore, this temporary room unit 1 has multiple beam members 4. As described above, these beam members 4 are used to connect the door unit 2 to the column members 3, or to connect the column members 3 to each other. Figure 7 shows a schematic of the beam members 4.

[0041] Furthermore, the material of the beam member 4 is not limited as long as it can stably maintain the strength of the temporary room unit 1, but it is preferably metal, and more preferably aluminum. Using aluminum makes it possible to reduce weight. Also, although not limited, the beam member 4 is preferably composed of a hollow metal square column. This makes it possible to reliably connect with other members on each face. In addition, by making the beam member 4 a hollow metal, it becomes possible to insert electrical wiring inside, eliminating the need for complex electrical wiring. In this case, it is preferable that the inserted electrical wiring has a connection connector EC near each end and can be connected to the connection connector EC of an adjacent column member, etc. An image of this case is shown in Figure 4 above.

[0042] Furthermore, as described above, it is preferable that the beam member 4 also has projections P for insertion into holes H formed in the door frame member 22 and column member 3, and fasteners F for securely fixing these projections to the door frame member 22 or column member 3, near both ends. This ensures a secure connection with the door frame member 22 and column member 3. Conversely, if the door frame member 22 and column member 3 have these projections P, fasteners F, and plate-shaped backing material B, it is preferable that holes H are formed near both ends of the beam member 4.

[0043] Furthermore, this temporary room unit 1 has a floor frame member 5. As described above, this floor frame member 5 is for connecting the door unit 2 and the column member 3, or the column members 3 to each other. Figure 8 shows a schematic of the floor frame member 5.

[0044] Furthermore, the material of the floor frame member 5 is not limited as long as it can stably maintain the strength of the temporary room unit 1, but it is preferably metal, and more preferably aluminum. Using aluminum makes it possible to reduce weight. Also, although not limited, the floor frame member 5 is preferably composed of a hollow metal square column. This makes it possible to reliably connect each surface with other members. In addition, by making the floor frame member 5 a hollow metal, it becomes possible to insert electrical wiring inside, eliminating the need for complex electrical wiring. In this case, it is preferable that the inserted electrical wiring has a connection connector EC near each end and can be connected to a connection connector EC of an adjacent column member or the like.

[0045] Furthermore, as described above, it is preferable that the floor frame member 5 also has projections P near both ends for insertion into holes H formed in the door frame member 22 and column member 3, and fasteners F for securely fixing these projections to the door frame member 22 or column member 3. This ensures a secure connection with the door frame member 22 and column member 3. Conversely, if the door frame member 22 and column member 3 have these projections P, fasteners F, and plate-shaped backing material B, it is preferable that holes H are formed near both ends of the floor frame member 5.

[0046] Furthermore, it is preferable that this temporary room unit 1 has a ceiling unit 6 equipped with ceiling beam members 61 that are spanned between beam members 4 and lighting members 62. Figure 9 shows a schematic of the ceiling unit 6. By providing the ceiling unit 6 in this temporary room unit 1, lighting is secured inside the room, making it a more comfortable space, and the wall members that are positioned to function as a roof on the ceiling portion of this temporary room unit 1 can be stably supported. Note that if lighting is not required, it is possible to construct it with only the ceiling beam members 61.

[0047] Furthermore, since the ceiling unit 6 also emits light through electricity, it is preferable that it has a power source. For this reason, similar to the other components described above, it is preferable that the ceiling beam member 61 be made of hollow metal, and that electrical wiring be inserted into this hollow portion and connected to the lighting member 62. This makes it possible to form the electrical wiring more easily. Also, similar to the other components described above, it is preferable to provide a connection connector EC at least near one end for connecting to a connection connector EC of other electrical wiring.

[0048] Furthermore, it is preferable that the temporary room unit 1 has a negative pressure unit. By providing a negative pressure unit, the air inside the temporary room unit 1 can be purified by passing it through a filter before being discharged. A schematic diagram of the entire temporary unit 1 (without wall members) when the negative pressure unit 7 is attached is shown in Figure 10, and a schematic diagram of the negative pressure unit 7 is shown in Figure 11.

[0049] The temporary room unit 1 can adopt a configuration similar to that of the door unit 2. Specifically, it is preferably composed of a plate member 71 and a plate frame member 72 surrounding the plate member, and further equipped with an exhaust unit 73 fixed to the plate member 71 for exhausting the air inside the temporary room unit 1 to the outside. By providing the exhaust unit 73 in this way, as described above, it is possible to make the pressure inside the temporary room unit 1 lower than that of the outside air. Also, as described above, the exhaust unit 73 needs to exhaust air in a harmless state even if pathogenic viruses etc. are present inside the temporary room unit 1, so it is preferable that it be equipped with a filter. The negative pressure unit 7 can be replaced with a heating device, cooling device, etc., depending on the application.

[0050] Furthermore, it is preferable that holes H are formed near the top and bottom of the plate frame member 72 for inserting the projections P and fasteners F provided on the column member 3, beam member 4, and floor frame member 5. This ensures a secure connection with the column member 3, beam member 4, and floor frame member 5. Conversely, if the projections P, fasteners F, and plate-shaped backing material B are formed on the plate frame member 72, it is preferable that holes H are formed near both ends of the column member 3, beam member 4, and floor frame member 5 to which they are connected.

[0051] Furthermore, it is preferable that the temporary room unit 1 has a wall member 8 that covers the plane formed by the door unit 2, column member 3, and floor frame member 5. Covering with the wall member 8 makes it possible to separate the outside from the inside. In particular, if a negative pressure unit 7 is provided as described above, it becomes possible to lower the air pressure inside the temporary room unit to a level lower than that outside the temporary room unit, thereby ensuring its function as a negative pressure booth. If a negative pressure unit 7 is not provided, it can be used as a general room such as a first-aid room or rest room.

[0052] Furthermore, the material of the wall member 8 is not limited to any particular material as long as it can separate the interior of the room from the exterior. Various materials can be used, such as wood or vinyl resin, but are not limited to these.

[0053] Furthermore, by attaching the wall member 8 to the column member 3, beam member 4, floor frame member 5, door unit 2, negative pressure unit 7, etc., the temporary room unit 1 can be stably sealed off from the outside air. Regarding this attachment, if the wall member 8 is made of a flexible material such as vinyl, it can be attached using general tape, but it can also be done using so-called hook-and-loop fasteners. For example, by attaching hook-side hook-and-loop fasteners to the column member 3, beam member 4, floor frame member 5, door unit 2, negative pressure unit 7, etc., and loop-side hook-and-loop fasteners to the wall member, the wall member 8 can be easily attached. An image of this case is shown in Figure 12. As a result, there may be gaps between the hook-and-loop fasteners and the wall members 8, but these gaps can be easily sealed with adhesive tape or the like.

[0054] Furthermore, it is preferable that this temporary room unit 1 includes a curtain rail 91 stretched across multiple beam members 4 and a curtain 92 installed on the curtain rail. This makes it possible to prevent the interior from being seen from the outside, even if the wall members 8 are made of transparent material. In this case, it is preferable that the beam members 8 be provided with rail holders for holding the curtain rail 91.

[0055] In summary, the present invention provides a temporary room unit that is easy to install, yet ensures sufficient strength, allows for easy entry and exit, and is fully capable of accommodating the installation of electrical equipment.

[0056] Furthermore, as described above, this temporary room unit 1 can be divided into small parts such as door units, beam members, column members, and floor frame members, allowing for very compact assembly. Additionally, the use of lightweight metals such as aluminum makes it extremely lightweight. For example, a temporary room unit with a height, width, and depth of approximately 180cm can be reduced to a compact size of less than 25cm in height, 65cm in width, 1.8m in length, and weighing less than 24kg. This means that when not needed, it can be easily stored in a storage room, and when a temporary room is required, it can be assembled to create one. Moreover, this temporary room unit has a very simple assembly method, offering the advantage of being able to be assembled quickly, even by one person. Figure 13 shows a photograph of the temporary room unit after it has been manufactured and assembled, while Figure 14 shows a photograph of it in its disassembled state. [Industrial applicability]
