Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a partition device for increasing the energy saving effect of an indoor heating device.

[Background technology]

Traditionally, if you wanted to install an air conditioning system in a house or building with high ceilings, such as an atrium or skylight, you would need one with a large capacity. However, the spaces that actually require air conditioning are often relatively narrow, such as around residents or around special equipment that requires temperature control, and air conditioning outside of these areas is wasteful.

In particular, although the ceiling space is a functionally necessary space, it is the space where such waste is most likely to occur, partly because warm air tends to flow into the ceiling space.

[Purpose of the invention]

In view of the above points, this invention improves the energy saving effect when installing and operating air conditioning equipment in a room with a relatively large ceiling space, and makes it possible to utilize the original functions of the ceiling space at any time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a partitioning device as described above.

[Disclosure of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a partitioning device that is equipped with a partitioning means for dividing an indoor space into upper and lower parts, and the partitioning means is adapted to be able to divide and release the indoor space. Hereinafter, one embodiment of this will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1.2 shows a house equipped with a partitioning device according to the invention. A recess A2 is provided at a relatively high point on one wall 1 in the room, spanning the entire length of the wall 1 in the horizontal direction, and a roll curtain (roll screen) type partition device 3 is attached to this recess groove 2. . In order to install this partition device, it is not necessarily necessary to provide a groove in the wall, but if you do this, the equipment 3 will not protrude, making it possible to use the indoor space more effectively and improve the aesthetic appearance. It will also be excellent. This partitioning device 3 has a shaft 4 at the center, around which a thin sheet-like curtain 5 is wound as a partitioning means. curtain 5
An appropriate number of hooks 6 are provided at the tip of the hook. The shaft 4 may be rotatable and fitted into the wall l, or a suitable mounting may be supported by a metal fitting.
It may also be rotatably fixed to the wall 1 via it. A curtain 5 is usually attached to the central axis 4 of this partition device.
It is preferable that a spring (not shown) is provided to wind the curtain 5 around the shaft 4. By doing so, it is possible to save the effort of returning the curtain 5 to its original state after use. This is because the curtain 5 is preferably made of cloth, a plastic sheet, a plastic film coated with metal foil, etc., which has heat reflective or heat insulating properties and can move freely. good.

The hook 6 provided at the tip of the curtain 5 is attached to the wall 1.
It is hooked onto and fixed to a metal fitting 7 attached to the other wall 10 facing the wall. In FIG. 1, three metal fittings 6.7 are provided, but the number is not limited to this. For example, a single metal fitting having a length corresponding to the entire width of the curtain 5 may be attached to the tip of the curtain. The means for fixing the curtain 5 to the other wall 10 is not limited to the method using such a pair of metal fittings 6.7. Instead of the pair of metal fittings, the ends of the curtain 5 may be fixed to the wall 10 using magnets.

Dividing the indoor space into upper and lower parts using this partitioning device 3 can be easily done by pulling the hook provided at the tip of the curtain by hand on the metal fitting 6 and hanging it on the metal fitting 7 of the wall 10. Instead of using a hand, a suitable hook such as a rod may be used to pull the metal fitting 6. Also,
A suitable groove is provided in the wall 20 sandwiched between the mutually opposing walls 1 and 10 (the other opposing wall is not shown);
It may be guided along this groove.

It is also possible to move the curtains electrically.

In this way, by dividing the indoor space into upper and lower parts, sufficient cooling and heating effects can be obtained by simply introducing air conditioning equipment with a relatively small capacity, resulting in large energy savings. . In particular, during heating, it is extremely effective because it blocks warm air from escaping upwards.
big.

In order to release the division of the indoor space by the partition device 3, the above operation may be performed in reverse. In this case, as described above, if the rotating shaft 4 is provided with a spring, the release operation will be easier. Then, when the curtain 5 is returned to the groove 2, the high ceiling space as before is recreated, and its excellent functions such as daylighting from the skylight 8 can be utilized.

Making the room more functional and easier to use can be achieved by the methods shown in FIGS. 3-6.

FIG. 3 shows a foldable sound insulating sheet 9 that can surround the telephone 11 and the like. When the sound insulating sheet 9 is pulled down from the ceiling 12, the telephone 11
It is designed to surround the area and form a sound-insulating space. This is extremely useful because it can block out noise from the outside and prevent speech from leaking outside. This sound insulating sheet 9 is provided with a chuck 13 of an appropriate length on its front surface, and can be accessed by opening the chuck 13. At the lower edge of the sound insulation sheet 9,
A frame 14 that also serves as a weight is provided. This sheet 9 can be stored in the ceiling 12 at any time if it is no longer needed, so the indoor space can be utilized at any time.The operation of pulling down and storing the sound insulation sheet 9 is It is preferable to provide a metal fitting (not shown) to the frame 14 and use something like a stick to hook the metal fitting. However, the method is not particularly limited to such a method. (b) shows that the sound insulating sheet 9 can be removed by tilting the frame 14 forward from the wall 15.
It is designed so that it can be stretched, and it is designed to realize the same function as that shown in FIG. In this case, since the sound insulating sheet 9 is normally stored in the wall 15, it is easier and more convenient to handle it by hand. In addition,
As the material for the sound insulation sheet 9, various cloths, plastic sheets, etc. can be considered, but materials with high sound insulation properties are preferable. If it is opaque, lighting can be installed on the ceiling or wall as necessary. Further, if the sheet 9 is transparent, it is convenient because not only can external lighting be used, but also it is easy to see that there are people inside.

Note that this sound insulating sheet is not only used around telephones as shown in FIG. 3, but may also be used around various sound sources such as radios and stereos.

FIG. 4 shows a hood 18 that can be pulled down from the ceiling 17 directly above the source 16 of smoke, if necessary, in a place where smoke is often generated, such as a kitchen. This hood 18 is expandable and retractable, and is usually attached to the ceiling 17.
It is stored in.

When in use, it is lowered from the ceiling 17 and placed directly above the smoke source 16. In this way, the hood 18 can be brought close to the smoke generation source 16, resulting in an even higher smoke evacuation effect. Since the hood 18 can be stored in the ceiling 17 when not in use, it does not unnecessarily occupy indoor space and impair safety or aesthetics.

FIG. 5 shows a shelf 22 provided in a dead space 21 inside the wall 19 so as to be movable up and down. As shown in FIG. 2(b), paintings 24 are usually displayed in a recess 23 provided in a part of the wall 19, but a shelf 22 is stored in a dead space 21 above the recess 23. If you pull it down via the knob 25 provided at the bottom,
Items can be stored appropriately. The knob 25 is adapted to fit into a recess 26 provided at the bottom of the recess 23 when the shelf 22 is lowered, and by doing so, the shelf 22 can sit comfortably.

Figure (c) shows a state in which the shelves 22 are pulled down and articles can be stored therein. Note that when the shelf 22 is pushed upward and moved to the dead space 21 inside the wall, in order to fix it there, one of the engaging fittings (not shown) must be attached to the shelf 22.
, and the other metal fitting that meshes with the dead space 21 may be provided in advance at the top of the dead space 21. However, it goes without saying that the method is not limited to this method. In this way, according to the method shown in the figure,
This is extremely convenient because it allows space that was originally not used to be used effectively.

FIG. 6 shows a handrail 27 that allows the use of indoor space as effectively as possible. Originally, handrails are attached to protruding sides of walls, hallways, stairs, etc. However, such a handrail not only unnecessarily occupies indoor space, but also may cause collisions when children, such as children, walk, making it unsafe. The handrail 27 shown in the same figure has a groove 28 in the wall and uses the edge as a handrail, so it does not protrude from the wall surface, does not unnecessarily occupy indoor space, and is very safe. It is. The handrail 27 is not limited to the one shown in Figures (a) and (b), but may be as shown in Figure (c). That is, FIG. 2C shows a handle-shaped handrail 29 attached to the inner surface of the recess a28 in the wall. This type of handrail also does not protrude from the wall surface, so it is similar to the figure (
It has the same functions as the handrails shown in a) and (b). Various shapes can be considered for the handle 29, but any shape may be used as long as it is easy to grasp by hand.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the partition device according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, it can be used in houses and other buildings with high ceilings and large ceiling spaces, while taking advantage of the excellent functions of such ceilings. This has an excellent effect in that the indoor space can be divided into upper and lower parts as necessary to save energy when operating air conditioning equipment, etc.
