Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of horticultural planting sheds, specifically relating to a sun shed with different light areas. Background Technology

[0002] Sunshades are commonly used structures in landscape design, primarily for planting ornamental flowers and grasses, or vegetables. They provide a warm and well-lit environment, allowing crops to grow even at lower temperatures. Conventional sunshades are constructed using translucent materials to ensure ample sunlight inside. However, different plants have different needs; some dislike direct sunlight, making the sunshade environment unfavorable for their growth. This undoubtedly increases the limitations of sunshades and reduces the diversity of plant species. To address this, some existing technologies involve installing shading structures on the top of the sunshade to create a dark area. However, as the sun moves, the area of ​​this dark area gradually changes, requiring periodic repositioning of the shading structures, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a sunroom with different lighting areas, comprising a sunroom body equipped with a dimming component; the dimming component is positioned along the path of sunlight, and the dimming component focuses sunlight to directionally illuminate a portion of the sunroom body, thereby creating strong light and weak light areas within the sunroom body.

[0004] Furthermore, the dimming assembly includes multiple focusing elements, each with a different orientation, so that the directional light focused by the focusing elements at different positions is in the high light zone.

[0005] The preferred light-concentrating element is a light-concentrating optical element, including a cylindrical lens. The cylindrical surface of the cylindrical lens faces outward from the structure and the flat surface faces inward from the structure. Since the cylindrical lens has the characteristic of converging light from the cylindrical surface to the axis position to form a focal line, sunlight is focused into a focal line-shaped directional light after shining on the cylindrical lens and then irradiates the strong light area.

[0006] Furthermore, the dimming assembly includes multiple focusing elements and multiple directional elements. The focusing elements are used to form directional light, and the directional elements are arranged along the direction of the directional light to receive the directional light and change its direction. The directional elements and the focusing elements are arranged in cooperation to make the directional light fall into the strong light area.

[0007] Preferably, the directional element is an optical element that can change the direction of light, including a cylindrical lens. Since the focal line of the cylindrical lens is located at the axis and then extends in a straight line to the distance, changing the orientation of its axis will also change the direction of the directional light.

[0008] Furthermore, most of the sunlight focused by the light-concentrating elements is directed to the strong light area, while a small number of light-concentrating elements are directed to the weak light area to form a secondary strong light area. Multiple secondary strong light areas can be set, and the light intensity of each light drive can be set according to the light intensity requirements by using different amounts of directional light from the light-concentrating elements in each light area to create different light intensities. This further refines the light intensity areas to adapt to the light requirements of different vegetation.

[0009] Furthermore, the direction-changing component is movable, and its movement drives the directional light to move, thereby changing the irradiation position of the directional light; the movement of the direction-changing component can move the position of the strong light area, increasing the flexibility of switching the light area within the Peng body.

[0010] Preferably, the reversing element is a cylindrical lens, and the reversing element is connected to a rotating shaft. The other end of the rotating shaft is connected to a motor. The motor drives the reversing element to rotate to change the position of the directional light. The motor can be electrically controlled to achieve precise and rapid change of the position of the strong light area.

[0011] Furthermore, a light-shielding component is provided on the outside of the light-concentrating component, and a retractable component is connected to the light-shielding component. The retractable component lays the light-shielding component on the light-concentrating component to reduce sunlight passing through the light-concentrating component.

[0012] The light-blocking component is used to block sunlight. The light-blocking component is softly designed. When storing, the light-blocking component is rolled up, and when using, it is unrolled.

[0013] The receiving and discharging unit includes a receiving and discharging motor, which is connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to a light-shielding component.

[0014] Furthermore, the light-blocking component is provided with evenly distributed light-transmitting holes or channels. The even distribution is intended to make the light attenuated by each light-concentrating component approximate.

[0015] Furthermore, the light-concentrating element has a cover inside, which is transparent and covers the light-concentrating element and the deflector. Since dirt and water stains can affect the light refraction and scattering effect, the cover is provided to seal the light-concentrating element and the deflector. The cover is equipped with a water spray and a wiper for cleaning the cover.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer surface of the focusing element is provided with a water spraying component and a drying component. The water spraying component sprays water onto the outer surface of the focusing element to clean it, and the drying component is used to dry water stains on the surface of the focusing element.

[0017] Furthermore, light intensity monitoring devices and temperature monitoring devices are installed in the strong light area, the medium light area, and the weak light area; preferably, the light intensity monitoring devices and temperature monitoring devices are connected to a control mechanism, which is connected to the motors of the take-up and retraction device and the direction-changing device, for real-time control of light intensity.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] (1) This application provides light zones with different light intensities inside the sunroom, so that the sunroom can also have an environment for plants that do not like light to live in, which improves the compatibility of the sunroom, enriches the biodiversity inside the sunroom, and enhances the aesthetics.

[0020] (2) The sunroom of this utility model has a constant internal light area that is not affected by the angle of the sun's rays, and does not need to be frequently adjusted according to the movement of the sun, making it more convenient to use and enhancing its practicality.

[0021] (3) The light zones of the sunroom of this utility model can be manually adjusted, and the adjustment method is simple, which improves the flexibility of use. Attached Figure Description

[0036] A sunroom with different lighting areas includes a canopy body 1, and the canopy body 1 is equipped with a dimming component 2; the dimming component 2 is located on the path of sunlight, and the dimming component 2 focuses the sunlight to irradiate a certain area inside the canopy body 1, so as to form a strong light area 11 and a weak light area 12 inside the canopy body 1.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the canopy 1 includes four surrounding walls and a roof. The roof is equipped with a dimming component 2 and is constructed in the direction of the sun's trajectory. It is divided into front and back according to the order of receiving sunlight, that is, the canopy wall located in the east is the front and the canopy wall located in the west is the back. The surfaces not in the sun's trajectory are the left and right, that is, the north is the left and the south is the right.

[0038] In a preferred example, the length of the shed body 1 in the left-right direction is greater than its length in the front-back direction;

[0039] Based on the structure of the dimming component 2, the following specific embodiments are proposed:

[0040] One specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the dimming assembly 2 includes multiple light-concentrating elements 21, each with a different orientation, so that the directional light focused by the light-concentrating elements 21 at different positions is all in the strong light zone 11.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the light-concentrating element 21 is a light-concentrating optical element, including a cylindrical lens. The cylindrical surface of the cylindrical lens faces outward from the enclosure 1, and the flat surface faces inward from the enclosure 1. Since the cylindrical lens has the characteristic of converging light on the cylindrical surface to the axial position to form a focal line, sunlight shines on the cylindrical lens and is focused into a focal line-shaped directional light that shines on the strong light area 11.

[0042] In another specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the dimming assembly 2 includes multiple focusing elements 21 and multiple directional elements 22. The multiple focusing elements 21 are all oriented in the same direction. The focusing elements 21 are used to form directional light. The directional elements 22 are arranged along the direction of the directional light and are used to receive the directional light and change its direction. The directional elements 22 and the focusing elements 21 are arranged in cooperation so that the directional light falls into the strong light area 11.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the direction changer 22 is movable, and the movement of the direction changer 22 drives the directional light to move, thereby changing the irradiation position of the directional light; the movement of the direction changer 22 can move the position of the strong light area 11, increasing the flexibility of switching the light area in Peng's body.

[0044] In a preferred example, the reversing element 22 is an optical element that can change the direction of light, including a cylindrical lens. Since the focal line of the cylindrical lens is located at the axis and then extends in a straight line to the distance, changing the orientation of its axis will also change the direction of the directional light.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the reversing element 22 is a cylindrical lens, and the reversing element 22 is connected to a rotating shaft. The other end of the rotating shaft is connected to a motor, which drives the reversing element 22 to rotate to change the position of the directional light. The motor can be electrically controlled to achieve precise and rapid change of the position of the strong light area 11.

[0046] Depending on the different orientations of the focusing element 21, the following specific embodiments are available:

[0047] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the light-concentrating element 21 is set in front and behind, that is, the direction of the focal line is east and west. At this time, the strong light area 11 is located on the left or right side of the greenhouse 1, and the remaining area is the weak light area 12. Light-loving plants are planted in the strong light area 11, and light-disliking plants are planted in the weak light area 12.

[0048] In another specific embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the light-concentrating element 21 is set on the left and right sides, and the focal line is distributed along the north-south direction. The strong light zone 11 is distributed on the front or rear side of the interior of the shed 1, preferably on the rear side. The shed 1 is equipped with a frame 14. The rear wall of the shed 1 is equipped with a sealing element to make the rear wall opaque. The strong light zone 11 is distributed on the rear wall. The frame 14 is used to place light-loving plants, raising their height to be in the strong light zone 11, which improves the utilization rate of the space inside the shed 1 and increases the capacity of the sunroom.

[0049] The location of the dimming component 2 can also be different. In another embodiment, the dimming component 2 is located on the front wall of the canopy 1.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, most of the sunlight focused by the light-concentrating element 21 is directed to the strong light area 11, while a small portion of the sunlight focused by the light-concentrating element 21 is directed to the weak light area 12 to form a secondary strong light area 1311. Multiple secondary strong light areas 1311 can be set. The light intensity of each light drive can be set according to the light intensity requirements by using different amounts of directional light irradiated by the light-concentrating element 21 in each light area to create different light intensities, thereby further refining the light intensity areas to adapt to the light requirements of different vegetation.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, a light-shielding member 23 is provided on the outside of the light-concentrating member 21. The light-shielding member 23 is connected to a retractable member 231. The retractable member 231 lays the light-shielding member 23 on the light-concentrating member 21 to reduce the sunlight passing through the light-concentrating member 21.

[0052] The light-blocking member 23 is used to block sunlight. The light-blocking member 23 is softly designed. When storing, the light-blocking member 231 rolls up the light-blocking member 23 and releases it when in use.

[0053] The receiving and discharging component 231 includes a receiving and discharging motor, which is connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the light-shielding component 23.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, the light-shielding member 23 is provided with uniformly distributed light-transmitting holes 232 or light-transmitting channels. The uniform arrangement is to make the light attenuated by each light-concentrating member 21 approximately equal.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the light-concentrating element 21 has a cover 24 inside. The cover 24 is transparent and covers the light-concentrating element 21 and the deflector 22. Since dirt and water stains will affect the light refraction and scattering effect, the cover 24 is provided to seal the light-concentrating element 21 and the deflector 22. The cover 24 is provided with a water spray element 25 and a wiper, which can be used to clean the cover 24.

[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the outer surface of the focusing element 21 is provided with a water spraying element 25 and a drying element 26. The water spraying element 25 sprays water onto the outer surface of the focusing element 21 to clean the focusing element 21, and the drying element 26 is used to dry the water stains on the surface of the focusing element 21.

[0057] In one embodiment, the strong light zone 11, the secondary strong light zone 1311, and the weak light zone 12 are all equipped with light intensity monitoring devices and temperature monitoring devices; preferably, the light intensity monitoring devices and temperature monitoring devices are connected to a control mechanism, and the control mechanism is connected to the motors of the take-up and retractor 231 and the reversing device 22 for real-time control of light intensity.

[0059] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.
