DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a storage device that can expand the storage capacity of luggage and daily necessities without constricting living space.

[Conventional technology]

Due to the poor housing situation in recent years, living space has become narrower, and closets and indoor storage spaces for storing daily necessities have become smaller. For example, it is not possible to secure a two-room-wide closet In houses, we have no choice but to construct half-width closets, which inevitably reduces the storage capacity.In such cases, it is necessary to separately install storage compartments such as lockers in the room, but on the contrary, Living spaces have become narrower, making it difficult and inconvenient to live in.Currently, it has been difficult to find specific and appropriate equipment to secure storage space that can effectively expand such narrow spaces. be.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to
It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage device that can significantly expand the storage capacity of household goods, luggage, etc., and that can effectively utilize a narrow space area.

(Means for Solving Illl) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage chamber into which a storage chamber formed in a predetermined shape and a predetermined size is inserted from below;
a storage chamber provided below the storage chamber in a communicating state in which the storage can be carried in and out; a turntable rotatably provided in the storage chamber so that a plurality of storages can be placed; and the storage chamber. and conveying means for vertically transporting the storage to carry the storage into and out of the storage room.

[Effect]

With the above structure, the storage in the storage chamber can be exchanged by transporting the storage up and down using the conveyance means and the turntable and taking the storage into and out between the storage chamber and the storage chamber. By placing multiple storage compartments on the turntable, it is possible to store multiple storage compartments in a separate compartment from the storage compartment, allowing for the same storage area without enlarging the storage compartment. This allows the storage capacity to be increased.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Figure 1s1 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a closet in a house, and a house 2 is built on a foundation l.

A floorboard 3 is placed on base a21, and tatami mats 4 are placed on top of this floorboard 3.
Alternatively, carpet or the like is laid, thereby forming a room 5 in the house 2 that serves as a living space. In the illustrated example in which a closet serving as a storage room 6 is provided at a predetermined position in the house W2, the storage room 6 is formed with a half-width width, and an opening on the indoor side that serves as an entrance for luggage is provided with a closet as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, a double-opening door 7 is attached, and the interior of the storage chamber 6 is concealed by closing the door 7.

For such a house 2, there is a storage room 10 under the floor.
is formed. The storage room 10 is formed so as to be located under the floor of the house 20 by excavating the ground and pouring concrete or the like when constructing the foundation of the house 2. Further, the storage chamber 10 and the storage chamber 6 are configured to communicate with each other internally, so that the lower surface of the storage chamber 6 is opened to form a communication path 11 extending downward, and this communication path 11 The upper surface of the storage chamber 10 is open. Such a communication structure allows the storage 20, which will be described later, to be carried in and out between the storage chamber 10 and the storage chamber 6. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 12 denotes a turntable provided in the storage chamber 10, which is rotated in forward and reverse directions on the floor surface of the storage chamber 10.

The turntable 12 is rotated by a motor 13. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the turntable 12 is machined to form a ring gear 12a, and the output gear 14 of the motor 13 is meshed with the ring gear 12a (see FIG. 3). In the illustrated example, a turntable serves as a mounting table on which a plurality of storage compartments 20 are placed, and also serves as a moving means for moving a desired storage compartment 20 so that it is located directly below the storage compartment 6 of the house 2 by rotation thereof. 12, four storage compartments 20 are placed in a rectangular manner at the same time, but a part of them (the third
The area (dashed line in the figure) is vacant because the storage 20 from the storage chamber 6 is received and placed therein.

The storage compartment 20 is for storing household items, luggage, etc.
It is shaped and dimensioned so that it can be placed inside the storage chamber 6, and therefore, in this embodiment, it has a vertically long rectangular shape with a width equivalent to half the width. Furthermore, a folding door 21 that can be opened and closed is installed on the indoor side in order to allow luggage to be taken in and taken out and to prevent the stored luggage from falling. One storage 20 is placed in the storage chamber 6, while three storages 20 are set on the turntable 12 in the storage chamber 10, and exchange is performed between these storages 20. Such replacement is performed on the turntable 12 described above.
This is performed by rotating the storage compartment 6 and the storage compartment 10 and transporting the storage compartment 20 up and down between the storage compartment 6 and the storage compartment 10.
It is located inside. The conveying means 30 is composed of a hoisting motor 31 mounted above the storage chamber 6 and a winding drum 32 pivotally supported above the storage chamber 6 so as to be rotated by the drive of the hoisting motor 31. Winding drum 32
A wire 33 is wound around.

FIG. 4 shows the mutual structure of the conveying means 30 and the storage 20. A gear pulley 34 is integrally attached to the winding drum 32, and the gear pulley 34 and the winding motor 3
A chain 35 is interposed between the first output gear and the first output gear, so that the rotation of the hoist motor 31 is transmitted to the take-up drum 32.

Further, an electromagnetic hook 36 is attached to the tip of the wire 33 wound around the winding drum 32. On the other hand, a receiving hook 37 is attached to the upper part of the storage 20 corresponding to the electromagnetic hook 36, and the electromagnetic hook 36 and the receiving hook 37 are balanced by the magnetic attraction force of the electromagnetic hook 36, and are engaged with each other. Thus, the wire 33 and the storage 20 are connected. In such a connected state, the winding motor 31 rotates forward and backward, and the wire 33 is connected to the winding drum 32.
When it is wound up or pulled out, the storage 20 is raised or lowered, allowing access to and from the storage chamber 6.

In order to stably move the storage 20 up and down, a guide rail 22 that is inserted into the inner surface of the storage 20 is formed on the outer surface of the storage 20 to protrude in the vertical direction (see FIG. 2).

Next, the present invention configured as described above will be explained in detail.

The motor 13 that rotates the turntable 12 is driven by a command from a controller (not shown). This controller has a selection switch that can select one of the storage compartments 20 on the turntable 12, and also controls the turntable so that the selected storage compartment 20 is located directly below the storage chamber 6. 12 (or motor 13). In this state, when one storage compartment 20 is selected by the controller and the main switch is turned on, the turntable 12 is moved so that the vacant placement area (dashed line in FIG. 3) is located directly below the storage compartment 6.
rotates. When the turntable 12 stops rotating at this position, the hoisting motor 31 on the storage chamber 6 side is driven to rotate, the wire 33 is pulled out, and the storage 20 in the storage chamber 6 is lowered.

When the storage 20 is placed on the turntable 12, the drive of the hoisting motor 31 is stopped, and the electromagnetic hook 36 and the receiving hook 37 are disengaged from each other, and the lowered storage 20 is removed from the wire 33. At the zeroth point of separation, the turntable 12 rotates and stops until the selected storage 20 is located directly below the storage chamber 6. Then, the receiving hook 37 of the selected storage 20 and the electromagnetic hook 36 of the wire 33 are balanced and engaged with each other, and then the hoisting motor 31 rotates in the winding direction of the wire 33 and the selected one is selected. The stored storage 20 is moved upward and carried into the storage chamber 6. As a result, a new storage 20 is set in the storage room 6, so that luggage, daily necessities, and the like can be stored and replaced in the storage 20.

In this embodiment with such a configuration, the storage chamber 10 communicating with the storage chamber 6 is formed in a location unrelated to the living space, such as under the floor,
By carrying the storage 20 in and out between the storage room 6 and the storage room 10, the storage 20 can be replaced. Therefore, the storage capacity can be expanded without reducing the living space. Incidentally, in this embodiment, the storage capacity can be four times that of a storage room that is a closet, and storage with improved space efficiency is possible.

Further, since the turntable 12 is provided in the storage chamber 10 and a plurality of storages 20 are placed on this turntable 12, the storages 20 can be stored without making the storage chamber 10 particularly large. , the storage 20 can be replaced quickly and reliably.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications are possible. For example, a hydraulic cylinder may be used as the conveying means for vertically conveying the storage, and the rotation reduction ratio may be increased. Alternatively, the shape of the storage and storage room may be polygonal other than rectangular, and in this case, the placement on the turntable should also be done in accordance with the shape. This makes it possible to easily replace the storage.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, storage compartments can be exchanged between the storage compartment and storage compartment, so the storage capacity and storage space for luggage, daily necessities, etc. can be increased without reducing the living space in any way. It has the effect of being particularly enlarged and making effective use of a narrow space area.
