- the present invention relates to a sleep capsule, and particularly relates to air conditioning measures in a sleep room.
- sleeping capsules are formed such that an air outlet and a suction opening are opened in the sleeping chamber of the capsule body as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-100545. is there.
- the sleep capsule is configured such that an evaporator is installed in the middle of an air passage connecting the suction port and the air outlet, and the air cooled by the evaporator is blown into the sleep room. Specifically, after the room air in the sleeping room is sucked from one inlet of the sleeping person's feet and cooled, the conditioned air is blown out from the one outlet in the sleeping person's feet to the sleeping room. .
- the sleeping capsule is air-conditioned so that the entire sleeping room is uniform at a set temperature desired by the sleeping person.
- the conventional sleeping capsules described above have a problem that they are not suitable for the thermophysiological comfort of the human body.
- the temperature distribution of the so-called “head cold foot heat”, which gradually increases as it goes to the lowest foot on the head side, is suitable for the thermophysiological comfort of the human body.
- the conventional air-conditioning control of the sleeping capsule simply controls the sleeping room so that the entire temperature of the sleeping room becomes the set temperature, and lacks the comfort of the sleeping person.
- an air outlet and a suction port are provided on the head side and the foot side in the sleep room, respectively, and the temperature of the conditioned air blown out from the foot side air outlet is conditioned from the head side air outlet.
- a possible method is to adjust the air conditioning capacity of the conditioned air so that it is higher than the air temperature.
- simply providing an air outlet on the foot side and blowing out conditioned air is warm air that blows out to the foot side, so it rises to the top of the sleeping room due to buoyancy.
- it is difficult to form a foot heat space covering the foot In addition, coupled with this rise in warm air, there was a problem that the cool air on the head side dipped into the lower part of the foot heat space, and the foot heat space was damaged.
- the present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to form a foot heat space suitable for the comfort of a sleeping person on at least the foot side of the sleeping room. It is to control the air condition.

- the intrusion of cold air is surely prevented, and a warm air flow space is formed to cover the sleeper's foot (see part A in FIG. 7).
- the indoor air on the foot side is sucked in from both sides of the air outlet (71), the warm air flow space is not disturbed.
- the sleeping room (11) in the heating operation is in a temperature distribution state as shown in Figs. Specifically, from the head side to the center of the sleep room (11), the temperature region is generally T3 and T4. On the foot side of the sleeping room (11), the temperature region is generally T6 and T7, and in particular, the region along the sleeping surface, which is the foot position of the sleeping person, is the highest T7 temperature region.
- the warm air flow space is surely formed and covers the feet of the sleeping person (see part A in FIG. 9). That is, in any of the above-described driving, the sleep room (11) has the lowest temperature in the head of the sleeping person. It becomes a temperature distribution of “head cold foot fever” that gradually increases with 1 to the foot!
- conditioned air is blown horizontally from the foot-side air outlet (71), and the airflow space that flows by force toward the foot-side force head side along the sleeping surface is formed.
- the conditioned air is warm air, it is possible to form a warm air space that covers the feet of the sleeper.
- the sleeping person can be maintained in the temperature range of “foot heat”, and a sleep room (11) suitable for the thermophysiological comfort of the human body can be formed.
- the air outlet (71) is provided in the foot air circulation part (70) standing on the sleeping surface at the foot side end of the floor base (21), the conditioned air is reliably supplied. It can flow along the sleeping surface. Further, since the suction port (72) is provided on both sides of the air outlet (71), indoor air can be sucked without disturbing the airflow space covering the feet of the sleeping person. As a result, the temperature region of “foot heat” can be reliably formed.
- a head air circulation part (60) is provided on the head side of the sleep room (11), and the suction port (62) is arranged below the air outlet (61) to cause a short circuit. Therefore, it is possible to form an air flow space that covers the sleeping person's head by forming a short circuit kit region.
- the conditioned air of the head air circulation part (60) is cold air, it is surely sucked into the lower suction port (62), and a short circuit region can be formed reliably.
- an airflow space for conditioned air is formed on both the head side and the foot side of the sleep room (11), and the temperature of the conditioned air blown out from each outlet (61, 71) is individually controlled. Therefore, a sleep room (11) suitable for the thermophysiological comfort of the human body can be formed.
- the sleeper can be maintained in a temperature distribution of “head cold foot heat” that gradually increases as the head moves to the lowest leg. As a result, the comfort of the sleeping person is improved. You can aim for the top.
- the height of the foot air circulation part (70) is increased. It is considerably lower than the head air circulation part (60). Therefore, it is possible to suppress a feeling of pressure given to the occupant in the indoor space when the covering member (50) is in the fully open state when not sleeping. As a result, the sleeping capsule (10) suitable for the living space can be provided.
- the present invention may be configured as follows with respect to the above embodiment.
- the force in which both the air outlet (71) and the air inlet (72) are provided in the foot air circulation part (70). May be provided in the foot air circulation section (70).
- the suction port (72) may be provided, for example, at the foot side end portions on both sides of the floor (21). That is, in this case, the suction port (72) opens upward.
- the covering member (50) is rotated between the head side and the foot side of the capsule body (20) to open and close.
- the capsule body (20) can be opened and closed by rotating between the left and right sides of the capsule body (20), or can be opened and closed by rotating it from the center in the width direction of the capsule body (20) to the left and right sides. It is good also as a double swing type.
- the head air circulation part (60) is provided to form the air flow space of conditioned air on the head side.
- other means may be used as long as a short circuit is formed between the air outlet (61) and the air inlet (62) to form a short circuit area covering the head of the sleeping person. ,.
- the heat exchange member (50) is not limited to the thermoelectric element (51), but may be an evaporator or a condenser of a vapor compression refrigeration cycle.
- the present invention is useful as a sleep capsule having an air conditioning function.
