Next, the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings, showing embodiments and specific examples, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and specific examples.
Furthermore, in the following explanation using the drawings, it should be noted that the drawings are schematic and the ratios of the dimensions, etc. may differ from those of the actual product, and in order to facilitate understanding, illustrations of components other than those necessary for the explanation have been omitted as appropriate.

First Embodiment
(1) Overall Configuration of Booth Figure 1 is a perspective view of the main parts explaining the internal configuration and installation of a booth 1 according to this embodiment, Figure 2 is a perspective view of the main parts showing the internal configuration of the booth 1 from the perspective of the air conditioner side, and Figure 3 is a partial front cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of the booth 1. The overall configuration of the booth 1 will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, booth 1 is box-shaped and contains a desk 11, chair 12, monitor 13, lighting 14, an electrical box 15 (see Figure 3), an air conditioner indoor unit 16, and an air conditioner outdoor unit 17. Users can sit on the chair 12 in the air-conditioned space formed within booth 1 and face the desk 11 and monitor 13 to work, study, or perform other tasks, or access online services via telecommunications lines.

As shown in Figure 3, the booth 1 comprises a base 2 provided on the installation surface FL, a floor panel 3 provided on the base 2, side wall panels 4 erected on the base 2, a ceiling panel 5 provided on the side wall panels 4, and casters 6 provided below the base 2.

The base 2 is made of four beams joined together to form a rectangular shape corresponding to the bottom shape of the booth 1, and is made of, for example, square steel pipes.
The floor board portion 3 is supported by abutting against a floor support member 2a that protrudes inward from the base portion 2, and a floor mat is layered on top of structural plywood, which is a wooden board material, for example.

The side wall panel 4 consists of a first side wall panel 41 that forms the rear wall, a second side wall panel 42 and a third side wall panel 43 that form the left and right walls, and a fourth side wall panel 44 that forms the front wall. The fourth side wall panel 44 has an opening 44a that serves as an entrance and exit, and a door 45 is attached to this opening 44a. In this embodiment, the door 45 is a sliding door.

The door 45 is a sliding door that can move along the fourth side wall panel 44. In the case of Fig. 1, the door 45 is a single-sliding door, but it may be a double-sliding door, in which two or more doors pass each other to open and close, or a double-sliding door, in which two doors slide left and right.
The door 45 is also fitted with an electronic lock (not shown) that can be unlocked with an electronic key so that locking can be managed based on reservation information, making it possible to provide services such as rentals.

The ceiling panel 5 is fixed to the upper end of the side wall panel 4 so as to close the upper opening formed by the side wall panel 4, and is made of, for example, structural plywood, a type of wooden board. The ceiling panel 5 is also equipped with sprinklers and fire detectors (not shown). However, in consideration of legal requirements for fire prevention, the upper part formed by the side wall panel 4 may be open without the ceiling panel 5.

Casters 6 are provided at the four corners of the lower part of the base 2. When the booth 1 assembled in a factory or the like is to be installed at the installation site, it is transported on the loading platform of a truck or the like, and then moved using the casters 6 at the installation site and installed on the installation surface FL.

Inside booth 1, a sound-absorbing panel 42A, an example of a flexible interior wall with a fabric-covered surface, is installed on the inside of second sidewall panel 42, which is to the right of the fourth sidewall panel 44. A desk 11 is placed on the floor 3 in contact with the sound-absorbing panel 42A. Above desk 11, a monitor 13, lighting 14, and an air conditioning indoor unit 16 are arranged in this order from bottom to top along the second sidewall panel 42. An electrical box 15 is located on the inside surface of second sidewall panel 42, between the second sidewall panel 42 and the sound-absorbing panel 42A. The air conditioning indoor unit 16 is positioned above the sound-absorbing panel 42A, facing the third sidewall panel 43.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, which is connected to the air conditioning indoor unit 16 of the air conditioner, is installed partially or entirely between the sound-absorbing panel 42A and the second side wall panel 42. Below the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, an evaporator 18 and a drain water tray 19 are arranged in this order along the direction of gravity, and these evaporators atomize the drain water discharged from the air conditioning indoor unit 16 and the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 and discharge it into the atmosphere.

The booth 1 configured in this way can be assembled in a factory or the like, transported on the loading platform of a truck or the like, and installed on the installation surface FL at a predetermined installation location. It can be installed indoors or outdoors, for example, inside train stations, airports, office buildings, commercial facilities such as restaurants and department stores, banks, libraries, art galleries, museums, public institutions and facilities, connecting corridors, parks, etc. It is particularly suitable for installation in corners of concourse spaces and connecting corridors between subway stations and above-ground areas, where passersby and booth 1 users are mixed.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the second sidewall panel 42 is installed facing wall X of the corner space, and the first sidewall panel 41 is installed facing wall Y, with the two walls X and Y constituting the corner space. Installed in this manner, the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, located on the second sidewall panel 42 side, is positioned so as not to protrude into the aisle where the booth 1 is installed, and so as not to obstruct the passage of passersby (indicated by arrow R in Figure 1).

Furthermore, the installation location is not limited to the corner of the building frame, but can be freely placed in the external space. In this case, the booth 1 has an internal space formed by the side wall panels 4, and in plan view the entire booth is a rectangle consisting of short and long sides, and it is preferable to install the side on which the door 45 is located facing the aisle or road where there is a lot of foot traffic. By reducing the depth direction of the booth 1, which is the short side, the booth 1 can be prevented from protruding into the aisle, allowing it to be placed so as not to obstruct the passage of pedestrians.

(2) Air conditioning system (2.1) Configuration of the air conditioning system Figure 4 is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of air circulation within the space of booth 1 during heating, Figure 5 is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of air circulation within the space of booth 1 during cooling, Figure 6 is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of the configuration of the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, Figure 7(a) is an oblique view showing the evaporator 18 and the drain water tray 19, (b) is a diagram explaining the function of the atomization of drain water in the evaporator 18, Figure 8(a) is a diagram showing an oblique view of the flow of exhaust air from the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 with the viewpoint at the back of booth 1, and (b) is a diagram showing a plan view of the flow of exhaust air from the air conditioning outdoor unit 17.

The booth 1 according to this embodiment has a door 45 through which people enter and exit, and is equipped with an air conditioner as a heat exchange air conditioning device that conditions the air in the space enclosed by the side wall panel 4, which forms the outer wall in contact with the outside air, and the sound-absorbing panel 42A, which forms part of the inner wall that encloses people. The air conditioner consists of an air conditioning indoor unit 16 that conditions and blows the air within the space, and an air conditioning outdoor unit 17 that condenses the refrigerant that conditions the air within the space, with the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 being partially or entirely located between the sound-absorbing panel 42A, which forms the inner wall, and the second side wall panel 42, which forms the outer wall. Note that the configuration is not limited to this, and the booth 1 may have some components removed or additional equipment added.

The air conditioning indoor unit 16 is disposed above the lighting 14 such that the discharge portion 16a faces the third side wall panel 43 from the sound-absorbing panel 42A. During heating, as shown in Fig. 4, the air conditioning indoor unit 16 draws in air circulating within the space through the intake portion 16b provided at the top, and blows out air (conditioned air) adjusted to a predetermined temperature downward within the space from the discharge portion 16a (see the area indicated by the dashed line in Fig. 4).
Furthermore, during cooling, as shown in FIG. 5, the air conditioning indoor unit 16 draws in air circulating in the space through the intake section 16b provided at the top, and blows out air (conditioned air) adjusted to a predetermined temperature forward in the space from the discharge section 16a (see the area indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 5).

As shown in Figure 6, the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 incorporates a compressor 171 that circulates a refrigerant (such as chlorofluorocarbon) between the air conditioning indoor unit 16 and the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, an outdoor heat exchanger 172 that exchanges heat between the circulating refrigerant and outdoor air, and an outdoor heat exchanger fan 173, and is connected to the air conditioning indoor unit 16 via refrigerant piping 174. The outdoor heat exchanger fan 173 has a blowing function that allows outside air to pass around the outdoor heat exchanger 172 and be discharged to the outside.

As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 protrudes outward from the second side wall panel 42 so that its intake surface 17a faces outside the space, and its exhaust surface 17b faces the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A that separates the space from the air conditioning outdoor unit 17. As a result, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 takes in outside air through its intake surface 17a (see arrow A in the figures), and the air that has exchanged heat is exhausted toward the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A (see arrow B in the figures), preventing the exhaust air from blowing onto nearby people.

As shown in FIG. 2, a partition wall 46 is disposed above the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, blocking the space between it and the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A from above. Furthermore, a partition wall 47 is disposed on the side of the fourth side wall panel 44, which faces the aisle, blocking the space between it and the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A from the side. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, exhaust air discharged from the exhaust surface 17b of the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 toward the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A is blocked by the partition wall 47 and does not flow toward the aisle, but is blocked from above by the partition wall 46 and flows toward the back, opposite the door 45, along the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A (arrow C in FIG. 8).

Below the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, an evaporator 18 that atomizes the drain water discharged from the air conditioning indoor unit 16 and the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 and discharges it into the atmosphere, and a drain water tray 19 are arranged in this order along the direction of gravity.
It is preferable that the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 be placed in a position that lowers the center of gravity of the entire booth 1 so that the booth 1 does not easily tip over. For example, by concentrating more than half of the weight of the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 below the center of the booth 1 in the height direction, the center of gravity will not be raised by the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, which has a large mass, and the booth 1 can be prevented from tipping over. In addition to preventing tipping over, this also has the effect of reducing the transmission of vibrations from pedestrians passing near the booth 1, cars traveling on the road, and trains.

As shown in Figure 7, the vaporizer 18 is a drain water treatment device equipped with a tank 181, ultrasonic vibrator 182, fan motor 183, air intake 184, exhaust vent 185, and drain connection 186. The vaporizer 18 atomizes the drain water discharged from the air conditioning indoor unit 16 and the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 using the ultrasonic vibrator 182, and then discharges the atomized water into the atmosphere using the fan motor's airflow for evaporation, thereby treating the drain water generated in the air conditioning indoor unit 16 and the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 during heating.

The vaporizer 18 is positioned so that its exhaust port 185 faces the sound-absorbing panel 42A, and air containing water vapor formed by atomizing the drain water is exhausted toward the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A (see arrow D in Figures 4 and 5). The air exhausted from the vaporizer 18, together with the exhaust air exhausted from the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 (see arrow B in Figures 4 and 5), flows along the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A toward the back side opposite the door 45 (see arrow C in Figure 7). This prevents exhaust air from the vaporizer 18 from entering the space of booth 1.

"Variation 1"
Figure 9(a) is a diagram showing the flow of exhaust air in a booth 1 according to variant 1, in which a partition wall 48 is arranged at the rear side of the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, and (b) is a diagram showing the flow of exhaust air from the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 in a plan view.
9, a partition wall 46 is disposed above the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, blocking the space between it and the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A from above, and a partition wall 47 is disposed on the side of the fourth side wall panel 44, which is on the aisle side, blocking the space between it and the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A from the side. Furthermore, a partition wall 48 is disposed between the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 and the first side wall panel 41 at the far side, separating the side intake surface 17c (shown in FIG. 8(a)) of the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 from the sound-absorbing panel 42A.

Exhaust air discharged from the exhaust surface 17b of the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 toward the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A flows along the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A toward the back side opposite the door 45 (arrow C in the figure), and is blocked by the partition wall 48 at the back of the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 before flowing upward along the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A and the inner surface 41a of the first side wall panel 41 (see arrow E in Figure 9). This allows the exhaust air from the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 to be treated even when the booth 1 is installed closely against the wall Y, as shown in Figure 9(b).

"Variation 2"
Figure 10(a) is a perspective view of the essential parts of booth 1 relating to variant 2, which has a blower 20 near the vaporizer 18, with the viewpoint focused on the air conditioner side, and (b) is a plan view showing the flow of air from blower 20 and exhaust from air conditioning outdoor unit 17.
A blower 20 for diffusing the water vapor or mist generated from the evaporator 18 is arranged on the side of the evaporator 18 and the drain water tray 19 so as to face the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A at a predetermined angle Θ.

As shown by the arrow F in Figure 10, the blower 20 blows air at a predetermined angle Θ toward the inner surface 42Aa of the sound-absorbing panel 42A, diffusing water vapor or mist around the evaporator 18 and drain water tray 19. Most of the air F blown by the blower 20, along with the exhaust air D from the evaporator 18 (see Figures 4 and 5), is discharged toward the wall Y (see Figure 10(b)) on the opposite side of the aisle, preventing the exhaust air from blowing onto nearby people.

The air conditioning outdoor unit 17 is disposed between the sound-absorbing panel 42A, which forms the inner wall, and the second side wall panel 42, which forms the outer wall, so that its air intake surface 17a protrudes outward from the second side wall panel 42, and as shown in Figure 3, the air intake surface 17a side is covered with a cover member 49 having air passage openings 49a. This makes the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 less visible to people in the vicinity, improving the appearance of the booth 1.
The cover member 49 has an inclined surface 49b on the upper surface thereof that is inclined toward the installation surface of the booth, making it difficult to place objects on the cover member 49.

FIG. 11 is a partial cross-sectional front view showing the internal structure of the booth 1 in which the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 is entirely disposed between the sound absorbing panel 42A and the second side wall panel 42.
As shown in FIG. 11, the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 may be entirely disposed between a sound absorbing panel 42A that forms an inner wall and a second side wall panel 42 that forms an outer wall.
In this case, in order to prevent the foot space S1 (shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 11) from becoming narrow, the sound-absorbing panel 42A is erected with the lower part of the desk 11 bent toward the carburetor 18 (shown by the arrow in FIG. 11).

FIG. 12 is a partial cross-sectional front view showing the internal structure of another booth 1 in which the entire air conditioning outdoor unit 17 is disposed between the sound absorbing panel 42A and the second side wall panel 42.

In this way, the booth 1A according to this embodiment can be positioned so as not to obstruct the space of the booth 1A, and the exhaust air from the air conditioner 100 can be prevented from entering the booth 1A.

"Third embodiment"
Figure 17(a) is an external perspective view showing the overall configuration of booth 1B according to the third embodiment, viewed from the front side; (b) is an external perspective view showing the overall configuration of booth 1B according to the third embodiment, viewed from the right side; Figure 18(a) is a plan cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of booth 1B according to the third embodiment; (b) is a cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of booth 1B according to the third embodiment; Figure 19 is a diagram showing an installation example of booth 1B according to the third embodiment; and Figure 20 is a diagram showing another installation example of booth 1B according to the third embodiment.

As shown in Figure 17, booth 1B has a side wall panel 4 that constitutes the exterior wall, and of the side wall panels 4, a portion 44b of the fourth side wall panel 44 that constitutes the front wall where a door 45 is provided and an entrance/exit is formed, protrudes toward the front. The air conditioning outdoor unit 17 is positioned so that its intake surface 17a is outside booth 1B, and the exhaust air from the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 is guided to the outside of booth 1B from the second side wall panel 42 that constitutes one of the left and right walls in the direction intersecting with the fourth side wall panel 44.

The door 45 is provided on the remaining portion 44A of the fourth side wall panel 44, excluding the portion 44B that protrudes toward the front side. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18(a), the door 45 is an outward-opening type that rotates toward the outside of the booth 1B, and when open outward, does not protrude beyond the frontmost portion 44b of the fourth side wall panel 44 that houses the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 (see A in FIG. 18(a)).

As shown in Figure 18, the air conditioning indoor unit 16 is positioned above the inner surface of the fourth side wall panel 44 that forms the front wall, with the discharge section 16a facing the first side wall panel 41 that forms the rear wall, and is configured to draw in air circulating within the space through the intake section 16b provided at the top, and blow air adjusted to a predetermined temperature out into the space from the discharge section 16a.
In booth 1B, by making the door 45 an outward-opening type, the air conditioning indoor unit 16 can be placed on the inner surface of the fourth side wall panel 44, and the piping P connecting the air conditioning indoor unit 16 and the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 can be shortened.

As shown in Figure 18, the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 is arranged in a space S3 formed by a portion 44b of the fourth side wall panel 44 constituting the front wall protruding toward the front side, with the intake surface 17a facing the portion 44b of the fourth side wall panel 44 so as to be outside the space S3, and the exhaust surface 17b of the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 facing the inner fourth side wall panel 44.
Below the air conditioning outdoor unit 17, an evaporator 18 that atomizes the drain water discharged from the air conditioning indoor unit 16 and the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 and discharges it into the atmosphere, and a drain water tray 19 are arranged in this order along the direction of gravity.
A blower 20 for diffusing the water vapor or mist generated from the evaporator 18 is arranged to the side of the evaporator 18 and the drain water tray 19 so as to face the inner surface of the second side wall panel 42 at a predetermined angle.

18(a) , blower 20 blows air toward the inner surface of second side wall panel 42 at a predetermined angle, diffusing water vapor or mist around vaporizer 18 and drain water tray 19. Most of the air blown by blower 20 (arrow F), together with the exhaust air from vaporizer 18, is discharged to the outside from second side wall panel 42 that intersects with the front side of booth 1B, so that the exhaust air does not blow on people in the vicinity.
In addition, the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 is positioned in the height direction of the booth 1B so that the center of gravity of the entire booth is lowered to prevent the booth 1B from easily tipping over, that is, so that more than half of the weight of the air conditioning outdoor unit 17 is concentrated below the center position in the height direction of the booth 1B.

The door 45 is provided on the remaining portion 44A of the fourth side wall panel 44, excluding the portion 44B that protrudes toward the front side. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18(a), the door 45 is an outward-opening type that rotates toward the outside of the booth 1B, and when open outward, does not protrude beyond the frontmost portion 44b of the fourth side wall panel 44 that houses the air conditioning outdoor unit 17.

The booth 1B configured in this manner can be installed so as not to obstruct the passage of passersby, since the door 45 does not protrude beyond the front of the booth 1B when opened.
FIG. 19 shows an example in which the device is installed in a corner of a building frame across a passageway.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 19, the first side wall panel 41 on the opposite side of the door 45 of booth 1B faces the wall XL of the corner space SL on the left side of the aisle, and the third side wall panel 43 is installed facing the wall YL.
