As a key component for introducing natural light, the performance optimization of daylighting skylight is crucial. However, the traditional fixed light transmittance or manually adjusted daylighting skylight has significant limitations: in strong light conditions, it can easily cause indoor overheating and glare, increase air conditioning energy consumption and reduce comfort; in weak light environment, it is insufficient for daylighting and still needs to rely on artificial lighting; manual adjustment method is inefficient and response lag for large area or high skylight. Although the existing solutions such as electric louver, sunshade curtain and other intelligent shading systems can be partially improved, as additional shading devices, they generally have problems such as affecting the transparency and beauty of the building, complex structure, high maintenance cost, limited adjustment precision (difficult to achieve continuous and fine control of light transmittance), and inconvenience for cleaning, which cannot meet the comprehensive needs of building for integrated, intelligent and fine light environment management.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] This invention provides, for example Figs. 1-2 The illustrated lighting system, based on light intensity detection and adjustable transmittance, includes a glass assembly and a control system. The glass assembly is a composite structure, and the control system is connected to the lighting assembly. The control system includes a control processing module, a light sensing module, an infrared sensing module, an ultraviolet detection module, a DC voltage regulation module, a DC inverter module, and a display screen. Through the close integration of the glass assembly and the control system, a complete closed-loop control architecture for light acquisition, processing, and execution is formed. This not only automatically adjusts the lighting but also avoids the lag inherent in traditional manual adjustments. Furthermore, the modular design enhances the system's scalability and stability, making it adaptable to various architectural applications.

[0021] The glass assembly includes a sealing frame 104, a first glass 102, a second glass 103, and a vacuum chamber 105. The first glass 102 is disposed on the inner wall of the sealing frame 104 and is electrochromic glass. When the power is off, the light transmittance of the first glass 102 is set to 80%. The second glass 103 is disposed on the inner wall of the sealing frame 104 and is tempered glass. The vacuum chamber 105 is disposed between the first glass 102 and the second glass 103. The electrochromic glass provides the ability to automatically adjust the light transmittance with voltage changes, solving the problem that traditional glass cannot dynamically respond to external light. The combination of tempered glass and vacuum chamber 105 improves safety and thermal insulation performance, enabling the system to achieve multiple functions in energy saving, heat insulation, and protection, and ensuring the stability of long-term operation.

[0022] The top end of the first glass 102 is provided with an anti-ultraviolet coating 106, and the top end of the anti-ultraviolet coating 106 is provided with a photovoltaic film 107 for collecting solar energy and converting it into electrical energy. The surface of the glass layer is provided with a composite nano coating, the cycle life is improved to 100,000 times, and the glass has a heat insulation function with a U value of not greater than 1.45 W / (m2·K). The composite design enables the glass to have a wide range of light transmittance, anti-ultraviolet, heat insulation and self-power functions, greatly improving the controllability of the light and heat environment. The introduction of the photovoltaic film 107 not only reduces the dependence on external power supply, but also improves the green energy-saving value of the system. The composite nano coating effectively prolongs the service life of the material and improves the weather resistance and use reliability.

[0023] The direct current voltage regulating module is connected with the control processing module, and is used for converting current into direct current with appropriate voltage. The direct current inverter module is connected with the direct current voltage regulating module, and is used for converting direct current into alternating current to provide power supply for the first glass 102, so that the first glass 102 changes the light transmittance under the action of alternating current with a certain voltage. Through the double conversion of direct current voltage regulation and inversion, the stability and flexibility of the power supply are ensured, so that the electrochromic glass can quickly and smoothly realize light transmittance adjustment. The power supply architecture takes into account energy saving and safety, avoids abnormal response of the glass caused by voltage fluctuation, and improves the overall reliability of the system.

[0024] The light sensing module is arranged outside the first glass 102, and is used for detecting external light intensity and converting the light intensity into a light value and transmitting the light value to the control processing module. The control processing module has a corresponding table of light value, light transmittance and voltage. The output voltage of the direct current voltage regulating module is changed according to the light value, and the light transmittance of the first glass 102 is adjusted. The introduction of the light sensing module realizes real-time sensing of the brightness of the external environment. Combined with the corresponding table in the control processing module, the light value and the light transmittance can be accurately corresponded, so that the instantaneous response to environmental changes can be realized, and the over-bright or over-dark situation in the room can be avoided, thereby improving the comfort and health of the living or office environment.

[0025] The infrared sensing module is arranged on the inner side of the second glass 103, and is used to detect the indoor situation and transmit the indoor infrared image to the control processing module. If the control processing module judges that there is personnel activity in the room, the light transmittance of the first glass 102 is adjusted according to the light value. If the control processing module judges that there is no one in the room, no adjustment is made. The strategy of “personnel adjustment and standby for no one” is realized by detecting the personnel activity in the room, which effectively reduces the energy consumption and prolongs the service life of the system. Through the detection of the personnel activity in the room, the intelligent man-machine interaction logic is realized, unnecessary energy consumption is avoided when there is no one, the system operation frequency is reduced, and the service life of the component is prolonged. The mechanism ensures that the light is always suitable when there is someone, and improves the humanization of the system.

[0026] The ultraviolet detection module is connected with the control processing module, and the ultraviolet detection module is used to monitor the intensity of ultraviolet rays and adjust the light transmittance of the glass layer in cooperation with the control processing module. The display screen can also be used to manually modify the light transmittance of the glass layer. The user can input the desired light transmittance value through the display screen, and the control processing module controls the direct current inversion module to change the direct current voltage according to the value. The ultraviolet detection module enhances the environmental adaptability of the system, and can effectively prevent the damage of excessive ultraviolet rays to the human body and indoor articles. At the same time, the display screen provides an entry for user active intervention, retaining a flexible manual adjustment means in addition to automatic adjustment, so that the system takes into account both intelligence and individualization.

[0027] The infrared sensing module and the light sensing module detect the personnel activity situation in the room and the outdoor light value respectively, and transmit the results to the control processing module. The control processing module first judges whether there is personnel activity in the room. If there is no one, the direct current voltage regulating module is directly controlled to be powered off. If there is someone, the current outdoor light value is obtained, and the corresponding voltage is obtained according to the preset table, the direct current voltage regulating module is controlled to adjust the voltage, and the light transmittance is changed to the corresponding value in the table. When the light value is higher than 1600 lumens or lower than 100 lumens, it is determined that the outdoor light is too bright or too dark, the control processing module controls the direct current voltage regulating module to be powered off, so that the first glass 102 becomes opaque, so as to reduce the light intake or avoid the situation that the indoor light is sufficient and the outdoor light can be seen. The logic not only realizes the accurate adaptation to the light intensity, but also takes into account the energy saving and privacy protection. When the light is extremely extreme, the glass is automatically powered off to be opaque, which not only reduces the air conditioner energy consumption, but also avoids the problem of indoor privacy exposure. Such compound judgment logic significantly improves the safety and practicality of the system.

[0028] The control processing module has a first preset light value threshold and a second preset light value threshold. When the light value detected by the light sensing module is lower than the first preset light value threshold (i.e., the outdoor light is too dim), the control processing module controls the DC inverter module to cut off power, making the first glass 102 opaque. When the light value is higher than the second preset light value threshold (which can be set to 550-1600 lumens, i.e., the outdoor light is too bright), the DC inverter module is also controlled to cut off power, making the first glass 102 opaque. This dual-threshold mechanism effectively solves the problem of light environment management under extreme light changes, ensuring that the indoor environment is always within a suitable light range. By automatically adjusting within the threshold and quickly protecting against exceeding the threshold, the system's robustness to complex climates and sunlight environments is enhanced.

[0029] The control and processing module is deployed on an edge computing terminal. The intelligent logic executed by this module is as follows: when the sensor module detects that the light intensity exceeds 500 lx and the temperature is above 28℃, it automatically reduces the glass transmittance to below 20% and simultaneously activates the air conditioning system via the IoT interface. When the light intensity is below 200 lx, the transmittance is increased to 70% and the auxiliary lighting system is turned off. Furthermore, the system trains a light prediction model based on historical data, enabling it to adjust the transmittance 15 minutes in advance, with a daily adjustment limit of no more than 8 times. The application of edge computing makes data processing more efficient, reduces latency, and allows for rapid response to environmental changes. The IoT linkage with air conditioning and lighting enables comprehensive intelligent management and control of the building environment. The light prediction model further enhances the system's foresight and proactivity, allowing for early adjustments to avoid discomfort caused by sudden changes in light intensity, while the daily adjustment limit ensures operational stability and equipment lifespan.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
