Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building construction technology, specifically to a light guide tube light-collecting device. Background Technology
[0002] Natural lighting is crucial for improving indoor lighting and energy conservation. Light pipe lighting technology is economical, energy-efficient, and improves lighting quality. It has been successfully applied in building interiors, underground spaces, and hazardous areas with excellent results. The principle of light pipe lighting technology is that a light-collecting dome gathers natural light, which is then redistributed by the system, transmitted through the light pipe, and then evenly illuminated by a diffuser, providing sufficient light even during the day. With technological advancements, this system is widely used in practical engineering projects, bringing natural light to areas that are difficult to reach using traditional methods. Compared to traditional skylights, it does not affect building structural safety, consumes no energy, and improves indoor environmental quality, making it energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and healthy. However, existing light pipe lighting systems have defects in waterproofing and connection structure design, resulting in structural instability and susceptibility to water seepage at the joints between components and walls.
