[0004]

That is, according to the present invention, there is provided a hermetically-sealed container in which bedding is installed so that a person can sleep, and an air-conditioning system for controlling the temperature and humidity of the air in the hermetically-sealed container. It is installed, and the air whose temperature and humidity is adjusted is blown in or exhausted in this sealed container,
By constantly ventilating the inside of the hermetically sealed container, it is possible to ensure a good environment while sleeping and also achieve the above-mentioned objects (2) to (5).

[0005]

The person sleeping in the air-conditioning bed according to the present invention is in a hermetically sealed container, and environmentally independent of the room in which the air-conditioning bed is installed. Into this sealed container, fresh air is introduced, and through the air conditioning system, the temperature and humidity are controlled within a good range as a sleeping condition, and the controlled air is blown into the sealed container and circulated in the sealed container. Then, by exhausting the air, there is an effect of keeping the environment in the sealed container in a comfortable state. Furthermore, the independence of the hermetically sealed container has a soundproofing effect, so that a quiet internal environment can be secured. A person who sleeps sweats, and the sweat may be absorbed by the bedding or the like to deteriorate the hygiene condition.However, the air in the sealed container of the present invention has a drying effect by being constantly ventilated. It is effective in preventing moisture and can be kept in a clean state. The configuration of this air conditioner bed is similar to that of large furniture in terms of size, weight, strength, etc., and the installation location can be freely selected. The air-conditioning system installed in a sealed container is small and lightweight because it manages the temperature and humidity in a small space, and an electric capacity of several hundred watts is sufficient. It is economical and has a low noise level. Things are possible.
