  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a smoking room 1 according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. The smoking room 1 is provided in a non-smoking space 100 (external) where smoking is prohibited, such as in an office, and is a space that is blocked or partitioned from the non-smoking space 100, and smoking is permitted inside the space. A smoking space 1A, and a communication space 1B serving as a passage for entering and exiting the smoking space 1A.

  The smoking space 1A includes an exhaust device 2 including an exhaust fan (not shown), an air cleaner 3, an air supply port 4, a carbon monoxide concentration sensor 6, a dust concentration sensor 7, a control device 8, and a display 9. On the other hand, the communication space 1B includes an air shower generator 15, an entry card reader 22 for entering and leaving the smoking space 1A, an exit card reader 23, doors 24A and 24B, and the like. The exhaust device 2, the air purifier 3, the air inlet 4, the carbon monoxide concentration sensor 6, the dust concentration sensor 7, the control device 8, the display 9, the entry card reader 22, and the exit card reader 23 are not included. It is good also as a structure.

  In addition, although the smoking room is illustrated as a dedicated smoking space as this embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and in addition to a closed space such as a so-called smoking room, a predetermined inside of a vehicle, a residence, or a building It is possible to make a space where smoking is possible, such as a compartment (with or without a partition).

  Uncontaminated clean air in the non-smoking space 100 outside the smoking space 1A (smoking room 1) passes through the air supply port 4 and flows into the smoking space 1A, and smoke generated during smoking is provided on the ceiling. It is discharged outdoors through the exhaust device 2. Thereby, there exists an effect which prevents that the smoke of a cigarette etc. flows out into the non-smoking space 100 or the communication space 1B by adjusting inflow and discharge | emission of air, and hold | maintaining the smoking space 1A in a negative pressure state.

  The air purifier 3 sucks contaminated air containing cigarette smoke from a suction port 10 on its upper surface by a fan 12, is dedusted and deodorized through a filter 11, is filtered into clean air, and is formed at a lower outlet 13. Is discharged in all directions. Further, the rotation sensor 14 constituted by a rotary encoder or the like detects the rotation speed of the fan 12 and sends it to the control device 8. As an air purifier, in addition to a structure that captures (collects and adsorbs) substances with a filter, decomposes electrochemically, or adsorbs electrochemically, a ventilation fan that exhausts dirty air to the outside, What cleans the air of predetermined space other than a fan can be changed irrespective of the structure and means.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the control device 8 is connected to a known CPU 8a, ROM 8b, RAM 8c, a communication interface (I / F) 8e for communicating with an external device, an input / output circuit 8f for exchanging signals, and these. It is configured as a computer including the bus line 8d and the like, and the CPU 8a executes the control program 8p stored in the ROM 8b, thereby fetching data from the carbon monoxide concentration sensor 6 and the dust concentration sensor 7, the exhaust device 2 and the air cleaner A command to the machine 3 or data transmission / reception with the local controller 21 is performed. The configuration of the control device 8 may be included in the local controller 21. It is also possible to provide a separate host computer and transmit / receive data via a communication network including the Internet to control them.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the carbon monoxide concentration sensor 6 is constituted by a well-known non-dispersive infrared absorption sensor or the like. The non-dispersive infrared absorption type uses the property that each gas absorbs its own infrared wavelength, and when the infrared rays of all wavelengths are emitted to the gas, it is examined how much wavelength is absorbed and how much gas. It is a method to measure the components and concentration inside. Infrared light in a wavelength range absorbed by carbon monoxide is detected by the light receiving element, and an electrical signal corresponding to the detected amount of infrared light is transmitted to the control device 8. The control device 8 that has received the signal transmits a command signal to the exhaust device 2 so that the carbon monoxide concentration is less than a certain value. The exhaust device 2 changes the air volume based on the command signal.

  The dust concentration sensor 7 measures the dust concentration using a known light scattering method. That is, when a gas is irradiated with light (laser light), the light is scattered by particles contained in the gas, and its intensity is proportional to the concentration of the particles. The scattered light is collected by an optical system, converted into an electrical signal by a photoelectric conversion element such as a photodiode, and measured. The electrical signal is sent to the control device 8, and the control device 8 that has received the signal transmits a command signal to the exhaust device 2 and the air purifier 3 so that the dust concentration is less than a certain value. The exhaust device 2 and the air purifier 3 change the air volume based on the command signal.

  When the dust concentration in the smoking room 1 exceeds a predetermined value by the combination of the air cleaner 3, the dust concentration sensor 7 and the control device 8, a command is sent from the control device 8 to the air cleaner 3, and the smoking room The dust in 1 may be removed. In addition, when removing carbon monoxide with the air purifier 3, the filter 11 may be configured to include an oxidation catalyst, and carbon monoxide may be converted into carbon dioxide by the oxidation catalyst and discharged from the outlet 13.

  Further, when a sensor for detecting the carbon dioxide concentration and the oxygen concentration is installed, and the balance between the carbon dioxide concentration and the oxygen concentration in the smoking room 1 is different from the normal balance in the atmosphere, the controller 8 A command may be sent to the exhaust device 2 to remove carbon dioxide in the smoking room 1.

  Thereby, you may make it remove the carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide in the smoking room 1 using the air cleaner 3 and the exhaust device 2 together.

  In addition, a sensor for detecting the concentration of odorous substances (“odorous substances”) such as nicotine and tar is installed, and the concentration of “odorous substances” in the smoking room 1 is changed, so that the inside of the smoking room 1 or air The adhesion of dirt to the cleaner 3 may be determined. The time of cleaning or maintenance of the inside of the smoking room 1 or the air purifier 3 can be determined by the change in the concentration of the “odor substance”. For example, when the time when there is no smoker in the smoking room 1 has elapsed and the concentration of the “odor substance” does not change (decrease) at a predetermined rate, the purification capacity of the air cleaner 3 decreases. Therefore, it can be determined that it is time for maintenance.

  The display 9 displays information sent from the control device 8 and the local controller 21. The display contents include the number of people in the smoking room 1 such as the current number of people in the smoking space 1A, the number of people in the communication space 1B (whether they are used), the carbon monoxide concentration, and the dust concentration.

  The air shower generating device 15 (tobacco odor removing means) includes a mist spraying device 16 to be described later and is connected to a local controller 21 to remove dust, deodorize and harmful substances, and cleans from an unillustrated outlet by a blower fan 15a. Supply air. As dust removal means, electrostatic dust collection, mechanical filter (cloth-like hepa filter (HEPA: High Efficiency Air Filter; filter having the ability to remove 99.7% or more of 0.3 μm particles), Ulpa filter (ULPA: Ultra Low Penetration Air Filter; a filter that has the ability to remove 99.999% or more of 0.1 μm particles, etc.), and activated carbon filters, ion exchange filters, etc. as deodorizing and harmful substance removing means It is also possible to add fragrances and deodorants to the clean air (air shower) to be supplied, or supply air ionized into negative and positive ions by an ion generator. In Fig. 1, the air shower generator 15 is provided on the ceiling surface, and can effectively decompose and remove airborne bacteria and chemical substances. The air shower can be blown out in any of five directions, including the downward direction from the ceiling (toward the floor), as well as the supply air. The material is removed, and the clean air (air shower) reduces or reduces the dust and odor of cigarettes attached to the body including the hair of the smoker (user) or the clothes worn in the smoking space. The state of use will be described later.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure containing the mist spraying apparatus 16 which sprays mist as a tobacco odor removal means. Most of the malodorous components contained in the cigarettes are water-soluble, so that before the air shower generator 15 is operated, that is, after spraying the mist or by spraying the air shower while spraying, the smoker (user) The deodorizing effect of cigarette dust and odor attached to the body including the hair or clothes worn on the head can be expected to increase.

Operation units 22d and 23d that perform input operations and biometric authentication units 22e and 23e are included. Moreover, you may use the known touch panel contained in the display parts 22a and 23a as the operation parts 22d and 23d.

  The local controller 21 is installed outside the communication space 1B (smoking room 1), for example, and includes a CPU 21a, ROM 21b, RAM 21c, a communication I / F (interface) 21e for communicating with external devices, and an input / output circuit for exchanging signals. 21 f and a bus line 21 d to which these are connected are configured as a computer. The ROM 21b stores a control program 21p and data for operating the local controller 21. In the RAM 21c, an identification code of a smoker permitted to enter the smoking room 1 is stored as an entry permission list. A nonvolatile memory such as a flash memory may be used instead of the RAM 21c.

  The biometric authentication units 22e and 23e are a fingerprint reading sensor for reading and authenticating each person's fingerprint, a vein sensor for reading and processing a vein pattern unique to each person running in the finger or palm with transmitted light, or an iris. And a photographing device that photographs the retina, performs image processing, and performs authentication. Data necessary for authentication of fingerprints, vein patterns, irises, retinas, etc. can be provided in advance in a database and registered for each smoker in the database.

  The ID card 30 is an information recording medium such as an IC card or a magnetic card in which ID information such as an identification code for identifying whether the use of the smoking room 1 is permitted. When the ID card 30 is an IC card, when the ID card 30 is brought close to the entrance card reader 22, communication is performed between the ID card 30 and the reading unit 22c, and the ID information read from the ID card 30 is stored locally. It is sent to the controller 21.

  The local controller 21 authenticates whether the identification code sent from the entry card reader 22 is included in the entry permission list that can be stored in the RAM 21c. When the identification code sent from the entry card reader 22 is included in the entry permission list, entry of the smoker is permitted, and energization for connecting the external door 24A and the frame from the local controller 21 is permitted. An unlocking signal is sent through the metal fitting 25A, and the electric lock 26A enters an unlocked state and can enter the communication space 1B (smoking room 1).

  Similarly, when the ID card 30 is brought close to the leaving card reader 23, authentication is performed in the local controller 21, and when the leaving is permitted, the electric lock 26B is unlocked from the smoking space 1A (smoking room 1). You can leave the room.

  Moreover, according to the display of display part 22a, 23a, a smoker operates operation part 22d, 23d, inputs ID or ID, and a password, and can be registered beforehand in the database of the local controller 21 for every smoker. The ID and password may be collated, and when the input ID and password match, the electric locks 26A and 26B may be unlocked to allow entry / exit.

  When the biometric authentication units 22e and 23e are used, they are read by a sensor or the like. When the fingerprint, vein pattern, iris, retina, etc. match the data registered in advance in the database for each smoker, the electric locks 26A and 26B are unlocked to allow entry / exit.

  As the authentication method, one of the above-described ID card 30, ID input, ID and password input, and biometric authentication may be used, or a combination of two or more may be used. When two or more combinations are used, for example, even if the ID card 30 is forgotten, it is possible to perform biometric authentication and enter the smoking room 1. Furthermore, if the user is not authenticated correctly within a predetermined number of times (for example, three times), the smoker with the corresponding ID is prohibited from entering the room for a predetermined period (one hour, full on the day, etc.). You may do it.

  The sensor units 31 and 32 are installed in the vicinity of the entrance / exit of the communication space 1 </ b> B (smoking room 1), and are installed on the floor of the entrance / exit of the smoking room 1. It comprises various sensors such as a well-known weight sensor or a well-known infrared sensor installed in the vicinity of the entrance / exit of the smoking room 1, and monitors the state of the smoker entering and exiting the smoking room 1. For example, when only one card is read but multiple smokers are photographed, when the weight of a smoker entering or exiting is detected and exceeds a predetermined value, or multiple smokers When a heat source indicating the presence of a person is detected, it can be determined that the room is an illegal entry / exit room such as so-called “shared”, in which a plurality of smokers enter and exit with one ID card.

  Here, the smoking space 1A and the communication space 1B are surrounded by walls and the like, and in order for the smoker to enter the smoking space 1A from the non-smoking space 100, the external door 24A is opened and the communication space 1B is temporarily entered. After that, it is necessary to open the inner door 24B and enter the smoking space 1A. Conversely, in order for a smoker to exit from the smoking space 1A to the non-smoking space 100, it is necessary to open the internal door 24B, once enter the communication space 1B, and then open the internal door 24A and exit to the non-smoking space 1B. There is. Normally, the smoking space 1A is sucked out by the exhaust device 2, the air purifier 3, etc., and the inside thereof is kept in a negative pressure state. When entering or leaving the communication space 1B, the outside door 24A, Even if one of the side doors 24B is opened, the internal atmospheric pressure does not increase, so that the smoke of cigarettes is prevented / prevented from flowing back from the air inlet 4 or the like to the non-smoking space 100.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the entire smoking room 1 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped or the like, and a smoking space 1A and a communication space 1B can be provided therein. That is, the communication space 1B can be provided so as not to protrude from the smoking space 1A. According to this, when manufacturing (assembling) the smoking room 1, the manufacturing (assembling) operation is simplified. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the communication space 1B is formed in a form that doubles as an entrance (entrance passage) and an exit (exit passage), a sufficient smoking space 1 can be secured, As a result, when the smoking room 1 is installed in an office or the like, it may be compact.

  Next, the use state of the smoking room 1 which concerns on this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 4A is a flowchart for explaining the usage state of the smoking room 1.

In other words, when the smoker performs the above-described authentication means with the card reader 22 for entering the room, the electric lock 26A of the external door 24A can be unlocked (S1: Yes), and in step S2, the internal door 24B The electric lock 26B is locked. That is, even when another smoker who has already smoked in the smoking space 1A performs the above-described authentication means with the leaving card reader 23 and is allowed to leave the room, the electric lock 26B of the inner door 24B is not in the unlocked state. The other smokers cannot open the inner door 24B. Thereafter, in step S3, it is determined whether or not the smoker has closed the external door 24A. If the smoker has closed (Yes in step S3), the electric lock 26A of the external door 24A is automatically locked, The lock of the electric lock 26B of the side door 24B is released (step S4).

  On the other hand, if the outer door 24A is closed in step S1 (S1: No), it is determined in step S5 whether or not the inner door 24B is unlocked. That is, as shown in FIG. 5 (5-1), after the smoker P smokes in the smoking space 1A, the smoker P performs the authentication means described above with the card reader 23 for leaving, and the inner door 24B When the electric lock 26B is unlocked and the user can leave the room (S5: Yes), the electric lock 26A of the external door 24A is locked in step S6. That is, even when another smoker who intends to smoke in the smoking space 1A is allowed to enter the room by performing authentication using the room card reader 22, the electric lock 26A of the external door 24A is not unlocked. The other smokers cannot open the external door 24A. And as shown to FIG. 5 (5-2), the smoker P can open the inner side door 24B, and can move to the communication space 1B. Thereafter, in step S7, it is determined whether or not the smoker has closed the inner door 24B. If the smoker has closed (step S7: Yes), the electric lock 26B of the inner door 24B is automatically locked.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (6-1), not a little smoke S from the smoke or sidestream smoke from smoke of the smoker P himself or another smoker P who is present is left in the smoking space 1A. These odors and dust adhere to the body such as the hair of the smoker P and clothes worn on the body. Here, since the smoking room 1 according to the present invention includes the air shower generating device 15 and the mist spraying device 16 in the communication space 1B, returning to FIG. 4A, in step 8, the smoker P is in the communication space 1B. If it is determined whether or not there is a smoker P (S8: Yes), the mist spraying device 16 is operated in S9 to spray mist in the communication space 1B (FIG. 6 (6- 2)), the air shower generator 15 is further operated in S10 to generate an air shower (see FIG. 7 (7-1)). After generating the air shower, in S11, the lock of the electric lock 26A of the external door 24A is released. Thereby, as shown to FIG. 7 (7-2), the smoker P can open the external side door 24A, and can go out to the non-smoking space 100. FIG. In this way, the smoker P automatically removes the dust and smell of cigarettes adhering to the hair, clothes, etc. by simply passing through the communication space 1B when leaving the non-smoking space 100 after using the smoking space 1A. Since germs and deodorization are performed, even when a non-smoker sits in the non-smoking space 100 for a long time, it is possible to prevent the non-smoker from feeling uncomfortable. In addition, as a judgment means of step 8, for example, a human sensor is provided in the communication space 1B, and the judgment can be made from the detection result.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1 that the external door 24A has not been released (step S1: No), the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, it is determined whether or not the inner door 24B is released. If it is released (step S5: Yes), the process proceeds to steps S6 to S11. If it is determined in step S5 that the internal door 24B has not been released (step S5: No), the process returns to step S1. That is, when both the outer side and inner side doors 24A and 24B are closed, the processes of steps S1 and S5 are performed alternately and substantially simultaneously.

  In the above flow chart, the lock release is executed by executing step S4 immediately after the determination of Yes in step S3, but the lock release can be prohibited for a certain period of time. That is, a timer is provided in the local controller 21 so that the inner door 24B cannot be unlocked for a predetermined time. In this way, the smoke accumulated in the communication space is lost or reduced, and the amount of smoke flowing out to the non-smoking space 100 can be further reduced. In this embodiment, the term “lock” is used to prohibit the transition from the locked state to the unlocked state.

  FIG. 4B is obtained by adding a flow surrounded by a broken line in the flowchart explaining the use state of the smoking room 1 of FIG. 4A. That is, after operating the air shower generator 15 in step S10, whether or not harmful substances such as dust and smoke attached to the body or clothes of the smoker P can be removed by operating the air shower generator 15 in step S12. If it is determined that the electric lock 26A has been removed (step S12: Yes), the electric lock 26A of the external door 24A may be unlocked in step S11. And when it judges that it has not removed yet (step S12: No), the action | operation of the air shower generator 15 and the mist spraying apparatus 16 continues as needed. As described above, since the air shower generator 15 (communication space 1B) supplies and exhausts air as described above, the amount of dust, deodorization and removal of harmful substances on the exhaust side is determined. It can be detected by a sensor, and it can be determined whether or not the deposit is removed based on the detection result. Thereby, mist spraying and air shower can be generated without waste.

  Further, in step S12, the amount of dust and the like in the smoking space 1A is detected from the carbon monoxide sensor 6 and the dust concentration sensor 7 installed in the smoking space 1A, and the attached dust and smell in the amount of dust are detected. The time of air shower generation and / or mist spraying required for removal is stored in advance, and after operating for a predetermined time based on the detection result, it is considered that the deposit is removed, step S11. You may make it transfer to.
