Abstract

A space division device includes: a rail installed on an upper side of a space box along a first direction of the space division device, a drive module that is installed to be movable along the rail, and a first partition that is connected to the drive module and forms a surface in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to partition an inner space of the space box.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A space division device, comprising:
a rail installed in a space box along a first direction of the space division device;
a drive module configured to move along the rail; and
a first partition connected to the drive module and configured to form a surface in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first partition configured to partition an inner space of the space box,
wherein the drive module includes at least one second partition configured to be rotated with respect to the first partition around a long axis of rotation in a vertical direction of the space division device.

2. The space division device of claim 1 , wherein the rail is an upper rail installed on an upper side of the space box.

3. The space division device of claim 2 , further comprising: a lower rail provided at a lower side of the space box and configured to be parallel to the upper rail,
wherein a lower end of the first partition is configured to be guided by the lower rail.

4. The space division device of claim 3 , further comprising: a second roller provided at the lower end of the first partition, wherein a rolling motion of the second roller is guided by the lower rail.

5. The space division device of claim 1 , wherein the drive module comprises;
a first roller, wherein a rolling motion of the first roller is guided by the rail;
a drive motor configured to provide a rotational force; and
a drive worm configured to be rotated by the rotational force of the drive motor while engaged with a rack gear provided on the rail.

6. The space division device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second partition includes a plurality of second partitions, and each second partition of the plurality of second partitions is provided symmetrically with respect to a direction of surfaces of the first partition.

7. The space division device of claim 1 , wherein the drive module further includes:
a partition rotation motor configured to provide a rotational force to rotate the at least one second partition; and
a reducer configured to reduce a power of the partition rotation motor and transmit the power to the at least one second partition.

8. The space division device of claim 7 , wherein the reducer comprises a single pinion planetary gear device, and the single pinion planetary gear device includes: a ring gear fixed to the drive module, a sun gear connected to a rotation shaft of the partition rotation motor, and a carrier connected to the at least one second partition.

9. The space division device of claim 1 , further comprising at least two partition modules provided on the rail and each including the drive module and the first partition.

10. A space division device, comprising:
a rail installed in a space box along a first direction of the space division device;
a drive module configured to move along the rail;
a first partition connected to the drive module and configured to form a surface in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first partition configured to partition an inner space of the space box; and
at least two partition modules provided on the rail and each including the drive module and the first partition.
