Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lighting device technology, specifically relating to a four-season lighting simulation system for interior design. Background Technology
[0002] Lighting design is crucial in interior design, and for high-end interiors, incorporating lighting conditions throughout the four seasons can make the design more outstanding, practical, and user-friendly. However, it's impossible to spend an entire year collecting and obtaining specific seasonal lighting data for a given house.
[0003] Therefore, existing technologies use various techniques to simulate lighting, such as:
[0004] (1) The Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN117091115A and title “An Indoor Design Lighting Simulation Device” provides a lighting simulation technology that puts a house model into a lighting chamber and uses sliding lighting blocks to simulate the angle of sunlight. However, this technology requires the production of a house model, which is not only complicated to use but also costly. Moreover, due to the limitations of the model, the simulated lighting effect cannot correspond to the actual scene, which is not conducive to its promotion.
[0005] (2) The Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN117028885A and title “An Indoor Design Lighting Simulation Device” provides another simulation scheme. However, due to its structural limitations, it can only simulate the day-night changes in light. Since the angle of incidence of sunlight is different in the four seasons, this scheme cannot simulate the changes in light in the four seasons.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a lighting simulation system for interior design that can more realistically simulate lighting conditions and seasonal changes in lighting. Utility Model Content
[0007] The present invention aims to provide a four-season lighting simulation system for interior design, so as to provide a lighting simulation system for interior design that can more realistically simulate lighting conditions and the changes in lighting conditions in the four seasons.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a four-season lighting simulation system for interior design, comprising a power supply, a slide rail, a walking device, a robotic arm, a lighting device, and a control module.
[0009] The slide rail includes a slide rail body, on which a fixing mechanism and a linear track are provided;
[0010] The walking device is slidably connected to the slide rail, and the walking device is equipped with a walking driver that drives the walking device to slide along the track.
[0011] The robotic arm is mounted on the walking device, and the lighting device is mounted on the free end of the robotic arm;
[0012] The control module is electrically connected to the walking drive, robotic arm, and lighting device;
[0013] The power supply provides power to the walking device, robotic arm, control module, and lighting device.
[0014] The working principle and beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: In this solution, the sliding rail is simply installed on the lintel or window frame via a fixing mechanism. Under the control of the control module, the walking device drives the robotic arm and lighting device to move on the sliding rail, and the robotic arm itself bends. This results in the lighting device's trajectory being a composite trajectory of the robotic arm's free end and the walking device's trajectory. This not only simulates sunrise and sunset (the robotic arm drives the lighting device to swing up and down) but also simulates the changing angles of sunlight throughout the four seasons (the walking device drives the robotic arm and lighting device to translate). Light enters from real doors and windows at realistic angles, resulting in more realistic illumination angles and trajectories. Therefore, compared to existing technologies, this solution achieves a more realistic simulation of lighting conditions and seasonal changes in sunlight. Furthermore, it can simulate the lighting conditions of a day and all four seasons in a short time, offering better lighting simulation effects and higher efficiency. Moreover, compared to existing technologies, it eliminates the need to create a house model, resulting in lower costs. This solution is applicable to all house structures, has wider applicability, and is more scalable.
[0015] Optionally, the robotic arm is a three-section robotic arm, which is mounted on the walking device. The three-section robotic arm can bend in all directions, better simulating the illumination angle and more accurately simulating the movement trajectory of the lighting device.
[0016] Optionally, the walking device includes a walking base, walking wheels, and a walking servo motor. The walking wheels and the output end of the servo motor are connected, and the walking wheels are rotatably connected to the walking device. The walking servo motor is electrically connected to the control module. The control module precisely controls the servo motor to drive the walking wheels to roll on the slide rail body, thereby precisely controlling the displacement distance of the walking device, thus precisely controlling the position of the lighting device, and thus more accurately simulating the illumination angle.
[0017] Optionally, the traveling seat is provided with a groove that mates with the track, and the track is slidably connected in the groove.
[0018] Optionally, the lighting device includes a deflection mechanism and a lighting lamp. The deflection mechanism includes a main deflection seat and a secondary deflection seat. A main deflection motor that controls the rotation of the main deflection seat is mounted on the free end of the robotic arm. The main deflection seat is rotatably connected to the free end of the robotic arm. A secondary deflection motor is mounted on the main deflection seat, and the secondary deflection seat is mounted on the output end of the secondary deflection motor. The lighting lamp is mounted on the secondary deflection seat. The main deflection motor and the secondary deflection motor are electrically connected to the control module. Through the deflection mechanism and the control module, the orientation of the lighting lamp can be locally and precisely adjusted, thereby accurately adjusting the illumination direction of the lighting lamp.
[0019] Optionally, the lighting device also includes a reflector mounted on a secondary deflector mount, with the lighting lamp installed inside the reflector.
[0020] Optionally, the fixing mechanism includes a U-shaped clip with a threaded hole on one side. A screw is threaded into the threaded hole, and a pressure plate is installed at the inward-facing end of the screw. This facilitates installation on door sills and window frame structures, and is easy to install and remove, making it convenient to use.
[0021] Optionally, the fixing mechanism also includes a swing arm mechanism, which includes a hinge seat, a swing arm body, and a locking structure. The hinge seat is fixed to a U-shaped clip, the swing arm body is hinged to the hinge seat, the slide rail body is hinged to the free end of the swing arm body, and the locking structure is used to lock the angle between the swing arm body and the hinge seat, and between the swing arm body and the slide rail body. The swing arm mechanism allows the slide rail to extend further out of the wall where the door or window is located. This is suitable for semi-open (not sliding) door or window structures, and also for uneven surfaces where the slide rail cannot be directly nailed to the wall.
[0022] Optionally, a lens is also provided inside the reflector.
[0023] Optionally, the lens includes a parallel light beam lens group or a diverging light beam lens group. The lens group is used to make the light emitted by the lighting fixture either a parallel beam or a diverging beam. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0027] The markings in the accompanying drawings include: window frame 1, walking device 2, slide rail body 3, track 4, robotic arm 5, main deflection seat 6, secondary deflection seat 7, main deflection motor 8, secondary deflection motor 9, reflector 10, U-shaped clip 11, screw 12, hinge seat 13, swing arm body 14.
[0028] Example
[0029] This embodiment is basically as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown: A four-season lighting simulation system for interior design, this embodiment takes its use on a window as an example, including a power supply, a sliding rail, a walking device 2, a robotic arm 5, a lighting device, and a control module:
[0030] The power source, in this embodiment, is a lithium battery, which is installed inside the walking device 2 to power the walking device 2, the robotic arm 5, the control module, and the lighting device.
[0031] The slide rail includes a slide rail body 3, which is a rectangular metal plate with straight strips. Typically, the length of the slide rail is longer than the upper frame of the window. The slide rail body 3 has a fixing mechanism and a straight track 4. In other embodiments, the slide rail body 3 can also be U-shaped or arc-shaped. The walking device 2 includes a walking base, walking wheels, and a walking servo motor. The output ends of the walking wheels and the servo motor are connected to form a walking driver. The walking wheels are rotatably connected to the walking base, and the walking servo motor is electrically connected to the control module. The walking base has a groove that mates with the track 4, and the track 4 is slidably connected in the groove. The control module precisely controls the servo motor to drive the walking wheels to roll on the slide rail body 3, thereby precisely controlling the displacement distance of the walking device 2, thus precisely controlling the position of the lighting device, and thus more accurately simulating the illumination angle.
[0032] A robotic arm 5 is mounted on a walking device 2, and a lighting device is mounted on the free end of the robotic arm 5. The lighting device includes a deflection mechanism and a light fixture. The deflection mechanism includes a main deflection seat 6 and a secondary deflection seat 7. The main deflection seat 6 is rotatably connected to the free end of the robotic arm 5. A main deflection motor 8, which controls the rotation of the main deflection seat 6, is mounted on the free end of the robotic arm 5. An external gear ring is coaxially sleeved on the main deflection seat 6. The main deflection motor 8 is fixed to the robotic arm 5. A gear is mounted on the output end of the main deflection motor 8, and the gear meshes with the external gear ring, thereby driving the main deflection seat 6 to rotate. A secondary deflection motor 9 is mounted on the main deflection seat 6, and the secondary deflection seat 7 is mounted on the output end of the secondary deflection motor 9. The light fixture is mounted on the secondary deflection seat 7. The rotation axes of the main deflection seat 6 and the secondary deflection seat 7 are perpendicular to each other. The main deflection motor 8 and the secondary deflection motor 9 are electrically connected to the control module. The lighting device also includes a reflector 10, which is mounted on the secondary deflector 7, and the lighting lamp is installed inside the reflector 10. Through the deflection mechanism and control module, the orientation of the lighting lamp can be locally and precisely adjusted, thereby accurately adjusting the illumination direction of the lighting lamp.
[0033] The control module is electrically connected to the walking driver, robotic arm 5, main deflection motor 8, auxiliary deflection motor 9, and lighting device. In this embodiment, the control module is a PLC controller and its peripheral circuitry. The robotic arm 5 is a three-section robotic arm. The first section of the robotic arm 5 is rotatably connected to the walking mount of the walking device 2. The walking device 2 also has a gear mechanism for controlling the rotation of the first section. The first and second sections, as well as the second and third sections of the robotic arm 5, are hinged to each other and linked by a telescopic mechanism, allowing the full extent of the robotic arm 5 to be changed. The third section is also a telescopic structure, such as a telescopic electric cylinder, which can further adjust the position of the lighting device to simulate the illumination angle.
[0034] The walking device 2 drives the robotic arm 5 and the lighting device to move on the slide rail, and the robotic arm 5 itself bends, so that the movement trajectory of the lighting device is a composite trajectory of the movement trajectory of the free end of the robotic arm 5 and the trajectory of the walking device 2. It can not only simulate sunrise and sunset (the robotic arm 5 drives the lighting device to swing up and down), but also simulate the changes in the angle of light in the four seasons (the walking device 2 drives the robotic arm 5 and the lighting device to translate). The light enters from real doors and windows at real angles, and the illumination angle and trajectory are more realistic. Therefore, compared with the existing technology, it achieves a more realistic simulation of lighting conditions and the changes in lighting conditions in the four seasons. Moreover, it can simulate the lighting conditions of a day and the lighting conditions of the four seasons in a short time, with better lighting simulation effect and higher efficiency.
[0035] In this embodiment, the lighting device further includes a reflector 10, which is mounted on the secondary deflector 7, and the lighting lamp is installed inside the reflector 10. In other embodiments, the reflector 10 is also provided with a lens, which can be a parallel light lens group or a diverging light lens group. Using a lens group makes the light emitted by the lighting lamp appear as a parallel beam or a diverging beam. Diverging light can cover a large area of doors and windows, visually closer to natural light, while parallel light beams can visualize the illumination angle locally, making it easier for interior designers to capture the lighting effect at specific angles and specific local locations.
[0036] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the entire system, the fixing mechanism of the slide rail body 3 includes a U-shaped clip 11. One side of the U-shaped clip 11 has a threaded hole, and a screw 12 is threaded into the threaded hole. A pressure plate is installed at the inward end of the screw 12. By pressing the pressure plate against the inside of the window frame 1 and tightening the screw 12, the pressure plate can be pressed tightly onto the upper edge of the window frame 1 and the door frame, thus facilitating installation on the threshold and window frame 1 structure, making installation and disassembly convenient, and easy to use. Furthermore, the fixing mechanism also includes a swing arm mechanism, which comprises a hinge seat 13, a swing arm body 14, and a locking structure. The hinge seat 13 is fixed to the U-shaped clip 11, the swing arm body 14 is hinged to the hinge seat 13, and the slide rail body 3 is hinged to the free end of the swing arm body 14. The locking structure is used to lock the included angle between the swing arm body 14 and the hinge seat 13, and between the swing arm body 14 and the slide rail body 3. In this embodiment, the locking structure is a locking screw 12 threaded onto the swing arm. By tightening the locking screw 12, the pressure between the screw 12 and the hinge seat 13 is controlled, thereby achieving angle locking through friction. The swing arm mechanism allows the slide rail to extend further out of the wall where the door or window is located. This is suitable for semi-open (rather than sliding) door or window structures, and also for uneven surfaces where the slide rail cannot be directly nailed to the wall.
