It is preferable that

Thus, one object of the present invention is to provide a structure in which a passenger compartment of a vehicle is connected to a house and used as a part of the living space of the house, in which the connecting part between the passenger compartment and the house has soundproofing, To ensure heat insulation or crime prevention, and more preferably, to make it relatively easy to connect a vehicle to a house, and to prevent the connecting part from hindering the movement of the vehicle when the vehicle is separated from the house. be.

According to the present invention, the above problem is solved by providing a vehicle connected to a house and having a compartment used as a living room of the house, wherein the inside of the house and the vehicle are connected to a window or other opening of the house. The connecting portion has a substantially horizontally arranged tubular structure made of a rigid body having a floor, a ceiling and both side walls. and when the vehicle compartment is connected to the house, it protrudes from the outer surface of the vehicle and is fitted into the window or other opening of the house, and the outer peripheral surface of the tubular structure is connected to the window or other opening of the house. is accomplished by a vehicle configured to seal against the inner circumference of the opening of the

In the above configuration, the "vehicle" may be a trailer house or other moving object, and may be any type of vehicle whose compartment is used as a living room in a house. The window or other opening in the residence may be an existing window or door opening, or the like, or it may be an opening specially configured to interface with the vehicle. As described above, the connecting portion has a cylindrical structure arranged substantially horizontally, but may be made of a resin material, lightweight metal material, wood, or the like having sufficient rigidity as a wall of a house or a vehicle. Sealing may be provided in any manner between the outer circumference of the tubular structure of the joint and the inner circumference of the window or other opening of the residence. For example, a balloon-shaped bag structure that can be arbitrarily expanded and contracted is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical structure of the connecting part, and the bag is opened with a part of the connecting part fitted into a window or other opening of the house. The structure may be expanded to seal the outer perimeter of the connection and the inner perimeter of the window or other opening in the house.

According to the above configuration, the connecting portion that forms a passage by connecting a living room or hallway in the house with the vehicle compartment is formed of a material having sufficient rigidity as a wall of the house or the vehicle, A wall is formed to stably partition the outside and the inside in the passage portion between the inside of the house and the passenger compartment, and the gap between the connection part and the window or other opening of the house is sealed, so that the hood or the vehicle can be used. It is expected that a higher level of soundproofing, heat insulation, or security can be ensured compared to a flexible cover.

In the above configuration, a soundproofing material, a heat insulating material, a reinforcing material, or the like may be applied to the tubular structure of the connecting portion in order to improve soundproofing, heat insulating properties, or security.

Preferably, the connecting portion is housed inside the outer surface of the vehicle when the vehicle is not connected to the house, so that movement of the vehicle is not hindered. When connecting a vehicle to a home, the connection is slid over the exterior surface of the vehicle and fits into a window or other opening in the home, whereupon the outer peripheral surface of the connection is secured, as described above. and the inner perimeter of a window or other opening in the residence may be sealed. Additionally, the vehicle may be provided with a height adjustment mechanism, such as an external jack, to match the height of the connection on the vehicle to the height of the windows or other openings in the house.

Thus, according to the above-described configuration of the present invention, in a vehicle constructed so that the passenger compartment can be used as a living room, the passenger compartment can be used not temporarily but for a long period of time or on a quasi-stationary basis. In addition, even when used as a residential space in a house, it is expected that the air conditioning efficiency in the house or vehicle will be reduced, the concerns about conversations inside the house being heard outside, and anxiety about crime prevention will be alleviated. be done. In addition, since the connecting portion of the present invention is formed of a rigid member, it does not flutter and become a noise source in strong winds, unlike a flexible hood. The configuration of the present invention may be applied to vehicles for various purposes, not only for enlarging a normal living room, but also for securing space for nursing care, for example.

It has a ceiling 3 and side walls 4a and 4b, and is formed in a substantially horizontally open tubular structure, protrudes from the outer surface of the vehicle B and is fitted into an opening 10 such as a window or door of the house A. Thus, it is configured such that people can come and go between the rooms and corridors of the house A and the compartment of the vehicle B. The connecting part 1 is made of a material having sufficient rigidity as a wall of a house or a vehicle, such as a resin material, a lightweight metal material, or a wooden material. It may be integrally formed or assembled and fitted into the opening 10 of the house A in the state of a tubular structure.

In the above configuration, the connecting portion 1 is accommodated in the vehicle B as shown in FIG. It is okay to be unhindered. Then, when the connecting portion 1 is fitted into the opening of the house A, the connecting portion 1 may be slid from the storage position 1b (FIG. 1(B)) of the vehicle B to a position protruding from the outer surface of the vehicle ( arrow f). Such sliding of the connecting part 1 may be achieved by an arbitrary drive mechanism (not shown) (when the connecting part 1 is removed from the house A, it is slid to the storage position inside the vehicle B). (arrow b).).

Further, in order to match the height of the opening 10 of the house A and the height of the connecting portion 1 projecting from the vehicle B, the height of the vehicle B may be adjusted by an external jack J.

According to the above configuration, the connection part 1 is formed in a tubular structure from a material having sufficient rigidity as a wall of a house or a vehicle, so that the connection between the indoor (house and car room) and the outdoor The degree of isolation is higher than that of a hood or a flexible cover, so sound leakage from inside is suppressed (improved sound insulation performance), heat retention is improved (improved insulation performance), and air conditioning efficiency is improved. becomes possible. In addition, since the connection portion 1 has rigidity around it, crime prevention is also enhanced. A soundproofing material, a heat insulating material, a reinforcing material, or the like may be applied to the inner circumference or outer circumference of the connecting portion 1 in order to further improve soundproofing, heat insulating properties, or security.

Furthermore, preferably, the gap between the outer periphery of the connection part 1 and the inner periphery of the opening 10 of the house A is reduced, the airtightness is improved, and the soundproof performance and heat insulation performance are further improved. A mechanism for sealing between the outer periphery and the inner periphery of the opening 10 of the house A may be provided. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, a balloon 6 having a bag structure that can be inflated and deflated may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 1 . Before the balloon 6 is inserted into the opening of the house A, it is held in a contracted state as shown in FIG. 2(A). Then, when the connection portion 1 is fitted into the opening 10 of the house A, the balloon 6 is inflated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. A will generally seal the gap with the inner circumference of the opening 10 (when the connecting part 1 is removed from the house A, the balloon 6 may be deflated again). Such inflation of balloon 6 may be accomplished by a mechanism that forces any air into balloon 6 . According to such a configuration, the gap between the outer circumference of the connection part 1 and the inner circumference of the opening 10 of the house A can be more reliably reduced or closed, so that the soundproof performance and heat insulation performance in the connection part 1 can be improved. is expected to be even higher.
