Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention allows a worker to be present in a space dedicated to a worker equipped with a desk, which is partitioned by partition, or in a work space in which OA equipment is installed. The present invention relates to a partition device having an attendance display device that displays whether or not a person is present.

(Prior art) In recent years, a partition that does not reach the ceiling is erected around the place where a desk dedicated to workers is installed or where OA devices are installed, and the office space has been partitioned by partitions. There is a tendency to form office layouts.

In this way, partitioning office workers from others increases the sound-insulating effect of the office space, increases concentration on the office work, improves office efficiency, and enhances the aesthetic effect of the office. The advantages of are obtained.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in general, the partition forming this kind of work space is at or above a person's eyes (about 140 cm).
Since it has a size of ~ 180 cm), it is not possible to confirm from the outside whether or not there are any occupants in the partition, that is, whether or not there are any occupants in the office space.

Therefore, when performing the above-mentioned confirmation, there is a problem that it is necessary to move to the position of the work space one by one for confirmation, which causes a time loss.

For such a problem, for example, a hand switch is provided in the work space, and this switch is turned on when the work person enters the room.
Then, it can be easily solved by turning on the indicator light installed at the position easily visible from the outside, for example, the upper part of the partition, but in fact, the switch ON operation when entering the office and the switch when leaving the office OFF
There are often situations in which operation is forgotten.

Therefore, the appropriate display is easily damaged, and it is not a reliable solution for confirming the seated state.

The present invention has been made in view of such background of the prior art, without inconvenience and time loss, it is possible to clearly visually recognize the seated state in the work space even from an external remote position, and, It is an object of the present invention to provide a partition device having an in-situ display device that can be easily installed at an optimum position for visual recognition, regardless of whether the partition is an existing partition or a partition whose layout has been changed.

(Means for Solving Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a partitioning device having an attended display device according to the present invention has a height that forms a space between an upper end portion and a ceiling, A plurality of partitions partitioning and forming an office space of a size for accommodating the desk and a chair for sitting a worker by standing on a floor along at least two sides of a desk for a single person, and at least these partitions. A single fixture that is detachably engaged and fixed across one upper end, and a human body that is attached to a side surface of the fixture and detects a state where the human body is present in the work space. A display that is mounted on the upper surface of the attachment so as to project upward from the upper end of the partition, and receives the output signal from the human body and displays toward the outside of the work space. And means.

(Operation) According to the present invention, when an employee is present in the office space that is partitioned by partitioning and is not visible from the outside, the presence state is detected by the human body responsive means. After being detected and converted into an electric signal, the electric signal is inputted to the display means provided at a high position so as to project upward from the upper end of the partition, and the presence of the seated state is activated by the operation of the display means. Since it is displayed outside at a relatively high position that can be seen from all sides, it is possible to easily and reliably visually recognize the seated state even from a place away from the office space.

Further, since the human body responsive means and the display means are attached to a single fitting which is detachably engaged and fixed over the upper end of the partition, only the fitting is attached to the existing partition. By engaging and fixing the to the upper end of the partition, it is possible to easily equip the partition at the position suitable for each operation with the human responsive means and the display means.Also, the layout of the partition can be changed with the change of the desk layout. Even when changing, just by detaching the attachment from the upper end of the partition, and after engaging in the fixation of the upper end of the partition again after changing the layout, the human responsive means and the display means are suitable for their respective operations after changing the layout. Can be deployed in different positions.

(Example) Hereinafter, the Example of this invention is described according to drawing.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a partitioning device having a seat display device according to the present invention. In the drawing, the work space 1 does not reach the ceiling, that is, a height that forms a space between the office space 1 and the ceiling. OA with 3 partitions with a certain height (low partition with a height of about 1400 mm) 3A, 3B, 3C
By erected on the floor 2 along the three sides of the desk 5 for a single person on which the device 4 is placed, the desk 5 and the chair 6 for sitting the worker are sized to accommodate the one side. The compartment is formed so as to form an opening for entering and leaving the person.

At the top of one selected partition 3C,
As shown in the figure, a single downwardly-opening substantially U-shaped attachment tool 9 is detachably engaged and fixed across the upper end of the partition 3C. A human body responsive means 7 for detecting the presence of a human body in the work space 1 is attached to a side surface of the fixture 9, and an output signal from the human body responsive means 7 is attached to an upper surface of the fixture 9. A display means 8 for receiving and displaying is attached so as to project upward from the upper end of the partition 3C. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the human body sensitive means 7, 7 are attached to both left and right side surfaces of the attachment 9, and two display means 8 are attached adjacent to each other on the upper surface of the attachment 9. By attaching and detaching the single fixture 9 to the upper ends of the partitions that partition the adjacent work spaces in a detachable manner, the human body responsive means 7 and the display means 8 can be installed in both adjacent work spaces. However, as shown in Fig. 1, office space 1
When there is only one, the human responsive means 7,7 shown in FIG.
And display means 8 and 8 are omitted one by one, and partition 3C
The attachment 9 may be detachably engaged and fixed to the upper end of the.

By the way, as the human body responsive means 7, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, an infrared temperature sensor, an optical sensor, a proximity switch or the like is used.

In the case of the present embodiment, the display means 8 is an indicator lamp and is electrically connected to the human body sensitive means 7.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.

When an employee enters the office space 1 and sits down on the chair 6, the sitting state, that is, the office state, is detected by the human responsive means 7, converted into an electric signal and output to the display means 8, and the operating state of the display means 8 is detected. That is, the lighting state of the indicator lamp is obtained.

As a result, it is possible to easily check the seated state in the work space 1 divided by the partitions 3A, 3B, 3C from the outside and a relatively remote position.

When the human body responsive means is composed of an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared temperature sensor, a proximity switch, or the like, by appropriately adjusting the sensitivity thereof, the indicator light does not light up due to other foreign matters, The indicator lamp can be turned on by detecting only the human body.

Also, when the human responsive means is an ultrasonic sensor,
Connect this to a microprocessor, detect the state in the work space for the first few seconds, that is, the state of disturbance of the ultrasonic wave with the ultrasonic sensor and store it in the microprocessor, and again the state in the work space with the ultrasonic sensor Alternatively, the indicator lamp may be turned on when it is determined by the microprocessor that the initial state and the second state are different from each other. By doing so, since the human beings always move larger or smaller, it is possible to reliably display the presence or absence of the employee.

Further, by connecting each of the above sensors or proximity switches to a microcomputer,
The state in the work space when the employee is absent may be stored, and when the employee is present, the microcomputer may perform a comparison process to turn on the indicator light. If you connect a microcomputer like this,
Even if other things corresponding to the size of a human being are brought into the work space, or the arrangement of the work space changes, the state of the work space when the worker is absent is changed. By storing it, it is possible to accurately display the presence or absence of the employee.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the human body responsive means 7 and the display means 8 are attached to the single work space 1 for explanation, but when a plurality of work spaces 1 are arranged in a row as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Is detachably engaged with and fixed to the upper end of the partition 3X that constitutes the boundary between the adjacent work spaces 1,1 by attaching and detaching the fixture 9 shown in FIG.
Further, the human body responsive means 7, 7 and the display means 8, 8 may be equipped.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the three partitions 3A, 3B,
The example in which 3C or 3A, 3B, 3X are arranged along the three sides of the desk 5 to form the U-shaped office spaces 1, 1 ... In a plan view has been described. The present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to an office space in which two partitions or three or more partitions are erected and partitioned.

Incidentally, when the office worker leaves the office space 1, the indicator light of the display means 8 is naturally turned off.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the partition device having the seat display device of the present invention, the seat display in the partition is automatically performed, and the seat display is easily and reliably performed even from a relatively remote position. Since it is visible, it is not necessary to move to check the presence of a person as in the conventional case, and time loss can be omitted.

Moreover, in the case of the present invention, even with an existing partition, it is possible to equip the partition with the human body responsive means and the display means by a simple work of engaging and fixing the fixture to the upper end of the partition. Even when the position of the partition is changed by changing the layout of the desk, etc., the human responsive means and the display means can be easily removed from the partition by removing the fixture from the upper end of the partition, and after the layout, the human body can be put into the partition again Even when the sensitive means and the display means are equipped, if the fitting is engaged and fixed to the upper end portion of the partition in the same manner as described above, it is possible to easily equip the partition whose layout is changed with the human sensitive means and the display means. It is possible to equip the partition with human responsive means and display means. To, have never accompanied a large-scale construction.
