Outside air is supplied into the transportable breakroom box 1 through the vaporization filter 2c of the filter unit 2 and the opening 1g. A window frame 1h is provided on an outside of the filter unit 2. Outside air is supplied into the transportable breakroom box 1 through the vaporization filter 2c of the filter unit 2 from the window frame 1h. A screen door may preferably be detachably attached to the window frame 1h, and the window plate that closes the opening 1g may preferably be detachably attached.

[0040] A water storage tank 2a for storing water is provided under the filter unit 2. A water supply pump which is not illustrated is installed within the water storage tank 2a. The water supply pump sucks water in the water storage tank 2a from a suction opening, and discharges the water from a discharge opening. An ultraviolet (UV) filter 3 as a sterilization device is provided on an outside surface of the filter unit 2. Water discharged from the water supply pump is supplied to an inlet side of the UV filter 3 through an inlet-side water supply hose 3a, and passes the UV filter 3. Further, a water supply hose 4 is connected to an outlet side of the UV filter 3 to supply water to an upper portion of the vaporization filter 2c of the filter unit 2 through the water supply hose 4. Water supplied to the vaporization filter 2c flows down a filter board within the vaporization filter 2c. The water flowed down to the bottom portion is collected in the water storage tank 2a through a drain hose 2b.

[0041] An exhaust blower 5 is provided on a wallboard 1c2 on a left side as a second wall that is opposite the wallboard 1c1, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4. The exhaust blower 5 discharges air within the transportable breakroom box 1 to the outside. Note that a discharge duct 5a that is appropriately curved is connected to a discharge side of the exhaust blower 5 to discharge air in a direction that does not interfere the discharge.

[0042] An indoor unit 6a of an air conditioner is attached near a ceiling in the transportable breakroom box 1. An outdoor unit 6b of the air conditioner is installed next to the water storage tank 2a. Further, a ventilation fan 7 is installed next to the exhaust blower 5.

[0043] Note that the water storage tank 2a and the outdoor unit 6b are installed on a mounting trestle 9 attachment is attached to the wallboard 1c1.

[0044] Further, LED lights 8 are attached on the ceiling.

[0045] Further, rope hooks 1i as a hanging hook are provide at four corners of the shingle 1d of the transportable breakroom box 1, a rope for hooking a not illustrated hook of crane is to be threaded through the rope hook 1i.

[0046] Hereinafter, functions of the transportable breakroom box 1 according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

[0047] The transportable breakroom box 1 is hung and lifted with a crane, using the rope hook 1i to load the transportable breakroom box 1 onto, for example, a load-carrying platform of a truck, or to unload the transportable breakroom box 1 from, for example, a load-carrying platform of a truck. Therefore, the transportable breakroom box 1 can be transported with transportation vehicles, such as trucks and the like, to a desired place. The transportable breakroom box 1 that has been transported is unloaded with a crane from a load-carrying platform of a transportation vehicle. The transportable breakroom box 1 that has been unloaded is transported with a forklift truck from a place where the transportable breakroom box 1 has been unloaded to a place where the transportable breakroom box 1 is to be used. At this time, forks of the forklift truck are inserted in the insertion holes 1f, and the forks are lifted to transport the transportable breakroom box 1.

[0048] Tap water is stored in the water storage tank 2a of the transportable breakroom box 1 that has been transported to the place where the transportable breakroom box 1 is to be used. Further, electric devices, such as the water supply pump, the exhaust blower 5, the air conditioner that includes the indoor unit 6a and the outdoor unit 6b, the lights 8, and the like, are connected to commercial power supply.

[0049] When the water supply pump and the exhaust blower 5 are activated, the exhaust blower 5 sucks an inside air of the transportable breakroom box 1, and outside air is sucked into the transportable breakroom box 1 through the vaporization filter 2c of the filter unit 2.

[0050] Further, the water supply pump sucks water stored in the water storage tank 2a, and discharges the water. After the discharged water passes the UV filter 3 and is sterilized, the sterilized water is supplied to the upper portion of the vaporization filter 2c. When the supplied water flows down a surface of the filter board of the vaporization filter 2c, and outside air that has been sucked passes the vaporization filter 2c, the air becomes cold air that is cooled by the filter board, which removes the vaporization heat from the falling water, and the cooled air is supplied into the transportable breakroom box 1 to be used to cool an inside of the transportable breakroom box 1. Therefore, people who are taking a break in the transportable breakroom box 1 feel the cool wind and feel coolness, and take a break effectively.

[0051] Further, in a case where an inside of the transportable breakroom box 1 does not need to be cooled, such as in winter or the like, cooled air is not supplied unless the exhaust blower 5 and the water supply pump are activated. At this time, the inside of the transportable breakroom box 1 may be heated by activating the air conditioner as necessary. Note that if a window panel or the like is attached to the window frame 1h to close the opening 1g, outside air does not enter the transportable breakroom box 1, and heating effect is more provided.

[0052] Even at a time of heating, in a case where dryness has been accelerated in the transportable breakroom box 1, the transportable breakroom box 1 can be humidified by activating the exhaust blower 5 and the water supply pump.

[0053] Further, ventilation in the transportable breakroom box 1 is accelerated by activating the ventilation fan 7.

[0054] Further, the transportable breakroom box 1 may be used as a smoking room by installing a smoke separator and an air purifier in the transportable breakroom box 1. In a case where the transportable breakroom box 1 is used as a smoking room, preferably, the ventilation fan 7 is activated to discharge the odor and smoke to the outside.

[0055] Further, the transportable breakroom box 1 can be transported by transportation vehicles, and can be moved by forklift trucks, as described above. Further, a floor space of the transportable breakroom box 1 is equal to or less than ten square meters. Since the floor space is equal to or less than ten square meters, the procedure provisions for confirmation application under Article 6 of the Building Standards Act are not applied. Further, due to the transportability, the installation location is not limited. And, the transportable breakroom box 1 is promptly installed by transporting to installation place quickly without requiring a construction period.

[0056] Further, in the description of this embodiment, the entrance 1e is arranged at the left side of the flowing direction of cool wind of the exhaust blower 5. However, the wallboard 1c on a front side and the wallboard 1c on a back side may be replaced with each other to easily make a transportable breakroom box 1 that has an entrance 1e on a right side. That is to say, the entrance 1e may be arranged on an appropriate side depending on the installation location.

[0057] Further, even in temporary cases, such as watching sports outdoors in hot weather, and the like, places where spectators take a break are promptly secured, and the places where spectators take a break are promptly removed after the event. The transportable breakroom box is very useful for temporary installation. That is to say, the transportable breakroom box according to the present invention can be promptly installed at desired places, and contributes to promptly installing breakrooms and smoking rooms.

[0058] In addition, those who present with manifesting symptoms such as cough and fever and may be infected with the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) will undergo polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. If the PCR test subject is tested in a building such as a hospital where the testing facility is located, there is a risk of spreading the infection. Therefore, by transporting the portable breakroom box of the present invention to the vicinity of the testing facility and undergoing the PCR test in the portable breakroom box, it is possible to contribute to the prevention of the spread of infection.

[0059] This portable breakroom box can also be used for testing not only for new coronavirus infections but also for other highly infectious viruses, thereby contributing to the prevention of infection.
