Description

The present invention relates to an entrance structure including a dirt floor storage room having a dirt floor surface.

It has been known for some time that a walk-in closet with a dirt floor is located adjacent to the entrance dirt floor (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Since such a walk-in closet with a dirt floor can be accessed by walking directly from the entrance dirt floor, it is possible to easily store wet rain gear and the like without soiling the living space of the house.

A configuration has also been proposed in which an air intake and exhaust fan are installed in the storage room in the entrance hall, allowing wet items to be stored while being dried (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

However, when natural ventilation without the use of machinery is used in a dirt floor storage room, for example, from the standpoint of cost and energy conservation, windows can only be placed facing the exterior wall, which can result in insufficient ventilation and can lead to deterioration of wet rain gear or the growth of mold.

If you dry the items outside the storage room before storing them, you can prevent the humidity in the room from increasing, but you will need space outside the storage room. Also, depending on the location, there is a risk that stored items such as rain gear will be blown away by the wind, and it is a hassle to have to dry the items and then store them away.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an entrance structure including a dirt floor storage room that allows for sufficient natural ventilation and has good storage capacity.

The entrance structure of the present invention is an entrance structure including a dirt floor storage room , the dirt floor storage room being formed in an indoor space including a protruding portion formed by protruding a portion of an exterior wall surface, having a dirt floor surface , ventilation openings being formed in opposing side wall portions of the protruding portion, the dirt floor storage room comprising a storage section having a drying section formed in the protruding portion, a passage formed adjacent to the drying section, and a storage shelf adjacent to the passage , the drying section having a plurality of long bars installed in parallel above the ventilation openings, the drying section formed in the protruding portion being provided on the outdoor side of the building. The storage unit is adjacent to an entrance porch, and is adjacent to an entrance floor provided on the indoor side of the entrance porch. An entrance hall is provided directly in front of the entrance door between the entrance porch and the entrance floor. Between the storage unit and the entrance floor, an entrance for entering the storage unit is formed at a position perpendicular to the exterior wall surface on which the entrance door is provided, and the entrance leads to the passage. The drying unit and the storage unit are arranged as a single, unpartitioned space, and the floor surfaces of the drying unit and the storage unit are formed to be flush and continuous.

The floor 14 of the storage section 16 and the drying section 15 has a water gradient that descends in the protruding direction of the protrusion 7. A similar water gradient is also provided on the floor of the entrance floor 2.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the drying section 15 is a space surrounded by the protruding wall section 8, the first side wall section 9, and the second side wall section 10. The drying section 15 is a space in which wet stored items can be stored and dried, and the stored items may continue to be stored as is even after they have dried. A decorative board with excellent scratch resistance, stain resistance, and heat resistance, such as a melamine decorative board, is attached to the indoor surface of the protruding wall section 8. In addition, a ventilation opening 21 is formed in each of the first side wall section 9 and the second side wall section 10. It is preferable that the ventilation opening 21 is an awning sash that slopes downward toward the outdoors when opened.

The ventilation opening 21 is formed by a rectangular opening frame 22 and four window materials 23 that are installed in the opening frame 22 and have their lower parts protruding to the outside and open. The window materials 23 have window glass and a rectangular frame body that holds the window glass. As shown in FIG. 4, when the ventilation opening 21 is opened, the window material 23 slopes downward toward the outside, so that rain can be prevented from entering the inside even in the event of rain. In addition, since the ventilation opening 21 is an awning sash, the angle of the window material 23 can be changed to adjust the amount of ventilation. The height of the upper end of the ventilation opening 21 is preferably about 500 mm lower than the ceiling surface, and the lower end is preferably formed so that the lower frame of the opening frame 22 is approximately the same height as the earthen floor surface. Note that "the lower frame is formed approximately the same height as the earthen floor surface" may mean that the lower end of the lower frame is the same height as the floor surface, or, for example, that a part of the lower frame is embedded in the floor surface. By configuring the ventilation opening 21 to open up to a height close to the earthen floor surface 14, ventilation at a height close to the earthen floor surface 14 can be improved, and wet stored items such as rain boots placed on the earthen floor surface 14 can be dried efficiently.

2 and 3, a plurality of long bars 28 are provided in parallel at a position higher than the ventilation openings 21 of the first side wall portion 9 and the second side wall portion 10. The long bars 28 are cylindrical metal pipes on which hangers can be hung, and in this embodiment, six long bars 28 are installed between the first side wall portion 9 and the second side wall portion 10. The long bars 28 are arranged at equal intervals, for example, at intervals of about 100 mm. By providing the long bars 28 in this manner, as shown in FIG. 5, a clothes hanger on which wet rain gear such as a raincoat 29 is hung can be hung on the long bars 28 to dry, or a wet umbrella 30 can be hung by hanging the handle of the umbrella 30 on the long bars 28. Also, for example, a long storage item 31 such as a surfboard 31 can be held upright at a position away from the wall by standing the long storage item 31 vertically and inserting its upper end between the adjacent long bars 28 while placing the lower end of the long storage item 31 on the dirt floor surface 14. This allows sufficient ventilation on both sides of the long storage item 31, making it easy to dry the wet long storage item 31 and preventing mold from growing on the wall. Although not shown, multiple long bars 28 are arranged at equal intervals, so the multiple long bars 28 can be used as shelves to store items in the space above the ventilation opening 21.

A drain ditch 33 covered by a grating 32 is formed at the most downstream side of the earthen floor surface 14 of the drying section 15. The drain ditch 33 is formed along the protruding wall portion 8, and water flowing on the earthen floor surface 14 passes through the grating 32 and flows into the drain ditch 33. The drain ditch 33 is formed over the entire width of the protruding wall portion 8, and a drain outlet 34 is formed at one end of the drain ditch 33, which directs the water that has flowed into the drain ditch 33 into a rainwater drainage channel 35 provided under the floor.

In this way, with the earthen floor storage room 1 of this embodiment, ventilation openings 21 are formed on both side walls 9, 10 of the first side wall 9 and the second side wall 10, which improves ventilation in the dry section 15 of the earthen floor storage room 1, and a drainage ditch 33 with a grating 32 is formed on the underwater side of the earthen floor surface 14 of the earthen floor storage room 1, allowing for sufficient ventilation and drainage, thereby preventing deterioration and mold growth of wet stored items such as rain gear and the walls of the earthen floor storage room 1.
