Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural light illumination technology for cruise ship cabins, and in particular to a natural light device for cruise ship cabins. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, large ocean-going passenger ships, especially cruise ships, are trending towards becoming increasingly gigantic. To achieve higher cost-effectiveness and accommodate more passengers, a large number of interior cabins are correspondingly arranged on board. Crew cabins are mainly located in the midships area below or above the main deck. However, only the cabins along the sides of the ship have portholes providing natural light, while the rest are completely lacking in natural light. During long ocean voyages, crew members are exposed to this dark environment for extended periods, which can negatively impact their physical and mental health.

[0003] Therefore, based on the existing layout of cruise ships, we urgently need a utility model of a natural light-guiding device to be applied to the interior cabins in order to effectively improve the daily living environment of the crew on board, thereby enhancing their quality of life and work comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the existing technology, the interior cabins of large cruise ships, especially the crew cabins, are mostly located below the main deck and in the middle of the hull, without portholes or balconies to provide natural light to the rooms. This can have adverse effects on the physical and mental health of crew members living in such an environment for a long time. This utility model provides a natural light device for cruise ship interior cabins. By setting up light guides, natural light from outside the ship is introduced into the interior cabins. One end of the light guide is arranged on the outside or top of the hull to receive sufficient natural light, and the other end is arranged on the top of the interior cabin to serve as lighting during the day. At the same time, the crew members in the interior cabins can personally feel the changes in the sky by observing the changes in the intensity of natural light as the external lighting conditions change. This brings relaxation and comfort to the crew members' long-term life on board, improves living conditions, and relieves physical and mental stress.

[0005] This utility model embodiment provides a natural light device for cruise ship cabins, including:

[0006] Natural light receiving device, which is installed on the outside of the ship's side or in an open area of ​​the deck, is used to receive natural light;

[0007] The cabin light-emitting terminal is arranged in the inner cabin and connected to the natural light receiving device through a natural light conduction duct, so as to transmit the natural light outside the cruise ship to the inner cabin when there is sufficient natural light.

[0008] The natural light conduction duct is connected at its front end to the natural light receiving device and at its end to the cabin light-emitting terminal, forming a light conduction path. The natural light conduction duct includes a main duct and branch ducts connected by a duct connector. The duct connector is used to extend the natural light conduction duct or change the laying direction of the natural light conduction duct. The inner surface of the natural light conduction duct has high reflectivity and can transmit light in all directions.

[0009] In some embodiments of this utility model, the natural light conduction duct is provided with a deck watertight or fireproof penetration component at the duct corresponding to the deck passage, so as to meet the requirements of the ship's structural strength, watertight performance, and fire resistance.

[0010] In some embodiments of this utility model, the natural light conduction duct is provided with a watertight or fireproof penetration component at the duct corresponding to the duct passing through the bulkhead, so as to meet the requirements of the ship's structural strength, watertightness, and fire resistance.

[0011] In some embodiments of this utility model, at the connection between the main pipe and the branch pipes, the pipe connector is used to transmit the light from the main pipe to different branch pipes, thereby transmitting the light to different inner cabins.

[0012] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cabin light-emitting terminal is specifically arranged on the top of the inner cabin, and the illumination intensity generated by the cabin light-emitting terminal changes with the intensity of natural light.

[0013] In some embodiments of this utility model, the natural light receiving device is made of transparent glass or acrylic material with transparency, and its shape is set as hemispherical or convex.

[0014] In some embodiments of this utility model, the side of the natural light receiving device connected to the natural light conducting conduit is circular and has a diameter of at least 20 centimeters, and the natural light receiving device has a sealing performance that meets the set strength.

[0015] In some embodiments of this utility model, the inner cabin is located in the middle of the hull and does not have windows or balconies facing the outside of the hull, so that natural light cannot directly reach the cabin.

[0016] In some embodiments of this utility model, the diameter of the natural light conduction duct is determined based on the dimensions of the installation space for the cruise ship's concealed engineering, the required lighting effect, and the net interior space of the inner cabin. The diameter of the branch duct is determined based on the net interior space of the inner cabin to which it is illuminated.

[0017] In some embodiments of this utility model, part or all of the natural light conduction duct is modified based on the ventilation duct of the cabin on a cruise ship, so that the modified natural light conduction duct has the functions of reflecting light and ventilation.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the natural light device for cruise ship cabins provided by this utility model embodiment are as follows: compared with the existing cabin light sources, which are all artificial light sources and require shipboard electrical equipment to ensure their energy supply 24 hours a day, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model uses natural light sources, which can save energy during the day or when natural light conditions are good.

[0019] Meanwhile, compared to the unchanging artificial light sources in existing cabins, the living light environment of the entire cabin is prone to being too monotonous and oppressive, and the crew cannot perceive changes in the surrounding environment. The above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model improves the lighting environment of the cabin by adopting natural light sources, thereby enhancing the comfort of cabin living.

[0033] This utility model embodiment provides a natural light device for cruise ship cabins, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes: an inner cabin 2 located in the middle of the cruise ship hull 1, a natural light receiving device 3, a natural light transmission duct 4, a watertight or fireproof penetration component on the deck 5, a duct connector 6, a watertight or fireproof penetration component on the bulkhead 7, and a cabin light-emitting terminal 8; specifically,

[0034] The natural light receiving device 3 is installed on the outside of the ship's side or in an open area of ​​the deck to receive natural light. It is transparent and can be made of transparent glass, acrylic or similar materials, and its shape is set as hemispherical or convex. In this embodiment, the side of the natural light receiving device 3 connected to the natural light conduction duct 4 is circular and has a diameter of at least 20 cm or can be adjusted as needed to maximize the transmission of natural light into the natural light conduction duct 4. The natural light receiving device 3 has a certain strength and sealing performance to prevent debris or rainwater from entering the duct.

[0035] The cabin light-emitting terminal 8 is arranged in the inner cabin 2 and is connected to the natural light receiving device 3 through the natural light conduction duct 4 so as to transmit the natural light outside the cruise ship to the inner cabin 2 when there is sufficient natural light.

[0036] The natural light conduction duct 4 is connected at the front end to the natural light receiving device 3 and at the end end to the cabin light-emitting terminal 8 to form a light conduction path. The natural light conduction duct 4 includes a main duct and branch ducts connected by a duct connector 6. The duct connector 6 is used to extend the natural light conduction duct 4 or change the laying direction of the natural light conduction duct 4. The inner surface of the natural light conduction duct 4 has high reflectivity and can transmit light in all directions to reduce light intensity loss.

[0037] In this embodiment, the natural light conduction duct 4 is provided with a deck watertight or fireproof compartment penetration component 5 at the duct corresponding to the deck passage, so as to meet the structural strength, watertightness and fire resistance requirements of the hull 1; the natural light conduction duct 4 is provided with a bulkhead watertight or fireproof compartment penetration component 7 at the duct corresponding to the bulkhead passage, so as to meet the structural strength, watertightness and fire resistance requirements of the hull 1.

[0038] The natural light conduction duct 4 is made of non-combustible materials, meeting the requirements of ship safety, and has the ability to effectively reflect or conduct light with low light intensity loss.

[0039] In this embodiment, at the connection between the main pipe and the branch pipes, the pipe connector 6 is used to transmit the light from the main pipe to different branch pipes, thereby transmitting the light to different inner compartments 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cabin light-emitting terminal 8 is specifically arranged on the top of the inner cabin 2. When there is sufficient natural light, it can transmit the natural light from outside the cruise ship into the inner cabin 2 to play a lighting role. The lighting intensity generated by the cabin light-emitting terminal 8 changes with the intensity of natural light.

[0041] In this embodiment, the inner cabin 2 is generally located in the middle of the hull 1. Unlike the sea view cabin and the balcony cabin, the inner cabin 2 does not have windows or balconies facing the outside of the hull 1. It is mostly arranged as crew cabins or a small number of passenger cabins, and natural light cannot directly reach the interior.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, in order to reduce the impact of natural light devices on the installation space of the cruise ship's concealed engineering, the diameter of the natural light conduction duct 4 is determined based on the size of the cruise ship's concealed engineering installation space, the required lighting effect, and the net indoor space of the inner cabin 2. The diameter of the branch duct is determined based on the net indoor space of the inner cabin 2 to which it is correspondingly illuminated.

[0043] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, since the inner cabins 2 are all equipped with ventilation ducts, some or all of the natural light conduction ducts 4 can be modified based on the ventilation ducts of the inner cabins 2 on the cruise ship, so that the modified natural light conduction ducts 4 have the functions of reflecting light and ventilation, thereby eliminating the impact on the concealed engineering space.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the natural light device for the cruise ship cabin 2 provided in this embodiment of the utility model is that: compared with the existing artificial light sources for cabin 2, which require shipboard electrical equipment to ensure their energy supply 24 hours a day, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model uses natural light sources, which can save energy during the day or when natural light conditions are good.

[0045] Meanwhile, compared to the invariability of artificial light sources in existing cabin 2, the living light environment of the entire cabin 2 is prone to being too monotonous and oppressive, and the crew cannot perceive changes in the surrounding environment. The above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model improves the light environment of the cabin 2 by adopting natural light sources, thereby improving the comfort of cabin living.

[0046] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the natural light device for the cruise ship cabin 2 provided in the above embodiments of this utility model, compared with the existing artificial light sources for cabin 2, which require the ship's electrical equipment to ensure a 24-hour uninterrupted power supply, uses natural light sources, which can save energy during the day or when natural light conditions are good. At the same time, compared with the invariability of artificial light sources in existing cabin 2, which can easily lead to an overly monotonous and oppressive living environment in the entire cabin 2, making it difficult for crew members to perceive changes in their surroundings, the above technical solution of this utility model improves the lighting environment of cabin 2 and enhances cabin comfort by using natural light sources.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this utility model within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
