Note that in FIGS. 1 to 14 attached to the present specification, for the sake of illustration and ease of understanding, the scale, the vertical / horizontal dimension ratio, and the like are appropriately changed and exaggerated from those of the actual product.

  FIGS. 1-10 is a figure for demonstrating one Embodiment by this invention. Among these, FIGS. 1-3 is a figure for demonstrating the whole structure of a sunlight lighting system, and FIG.4 and FIG.5 is a figure for demonstrating the 1st lighting means of a sunlight lighting system. 6 and 7 are diagrams for explaining the second daylighting means of the solar daylighting system, and FIGS. 8 to 10 are views for explaining the third daylighting means of the solar daylighting system. .

  The sunlight daylighting system 10 is connected to each of two or more daylighting means (lighting devices and daylighting products) each having a light incident surface on a certain virtual plane vp and each of the two or more daylighting means. Light guide means (light guide device, light guide product) 50 for receiving the light. In the example described below, as shown in FIG. 1, the lighting means 20, 30, 40 are attached to the roof 91 of the building 90, and the light collected by the lighting means 20, 30, 40 is a room 95 in the building 90. Are guided through the light guide means 50. In the solar lighting system 10, the angle formed by the virtual plane vp with respect to the horizontal direction is less than 45 ° in the installed state of FIG. Each of the daylighting means 20, 30, 40 is arranged so that the light incident surfaces 21, 31, 41 are parallel to the virtual plane vp defined by the roof 91 of the building 90. The light guide unit 50 is connected to the daylighting units 20, 30, and 40 through a connection surface that is a virtual plane. An end portion of the light guide means 50 is connected to the ceiling 93 and can guide light into the room 95 defined by the outer wall 92, the ceiling 93, and the inner wall 94.

According to such a daylighting system 10, the light collected by the daylighting means 20, 30, 40 can be used as room illumination light. That is, by using this solar lighting system 10, it is possible to directly realize energy saving and contribute to CO ₂ reduction. In particular, according to the solar lighting system 10 described here, as described in detail below, it is possible to effectively suppress fluctuations in the lighting efficiency depending on the season and time zone while avoiding the complexity of the structure. . That is, by removing the problem that this type of solar lighting system 10 has in the past, it is possible to greatly contribute to energy saving and CO ₂ reduction through the widespread use of the solar lighting system 10.

The two or more daylighting means included in the sunlight daylighting system 10 can be two or more types selected from the first daylighting means 20, the second daylighting means 30, and the third daylighting means 40 described below.
(1) First daylighting means: having a first light incident surface 21 located on the virtual plane vp, the light guide means 50 is connected from one side in the first direction d1 parallel to the virtual plane vp.
(2) Second daylighting means: having a second light incident surface 31 located on the virtual plane vp, the light guiding means 50 is connected from one side in the first direction d1. When light traveling in a plane orthogonal to the virtual plane vp and parallel to the first direction d1 is incident on the virtual plane vp, the traveling direction of the light is determined on the first light incident surface 21 of the first daylighting means 20. It has a deflection function that directs it in a direction different from the traveling direction when transmitted.
(3) Third daylighting means: having a third light incident surface 31 located on the virtual plane vp, guided from at least one side in the second direction d2 intersecting the first direction d1 and parallel to the virtual plane vp. The light means 50 is connected.

  In the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30, since the light guiding means 50 is connected from one side in the first direction d1, the other in the first direction d1 after entering the light incident surfaces 21 and 31. Light traveling from one side to the other can be collected with high daylighting efficiency. In particular, in the installation state shown in FIG. 1, sunlight traveling along the first direction d1 in observation from the vertical direction vd can be collected with high lighting efficiency. However, the second daylighting means 30 has a deflection function that bends the traveling direction of light traveling in a plane orthogonal to the virtual plane vp and parallel to the first direction d1 in a direction different from the first light incident surface 21. ing. For this reason, even if the 1st daylighting means 20 and the 2nd daylighting means 30 have the same position in the horizontal surface of the sun, depending on the altitude of the sun, the daylight is taken with different lighting efficiency. Become. That is, the altitude of the sun at which the first daylighting means 20 can take the light most efficiently and the altitude of the sun at which the second daylighting means 30 can take the light most efficiently are different from each other. Therefore, by including the two daylighting means 20 of the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30, the sunlight daylighting system 10 can stably and efficiently emit sunlight from the same direction regardless of the altitude of the sun. And can be daylighted. Therefore, for example, sunlight can be collected with a stable efficiency without causing a large fluctuation depending on the season.

  In addition, since the third daylighting unit 40 is connected from at least one side in the second direction d2 intersecting the first direction d1 by the light guide unit 50, the third daylighting unit 40 enters the third light incident surface 41 and then enters the second direction. Light traveling from the other side of d2 to one side, and in some cases, light traveling from one side to the other side in the second direction d2 can also be collected with high lighting efficiency. In particular, in the installation state shown in FIG. 1, sunlight traveling along the second direction d2 in observation from the vertical direction vd can be collected with high lighting efficiency. For this reason, the sunlight lighting system 10 includes two directions different from each other in the observation from the vertical direction vd by including at least one of the first lighting means 20 and the second lighting means 30 and the third lighting means 40. The lights from d1 and d2 are collected efficiently. Therefore, for example, it is possible to take sunlight with stable efficiency without causing large fluctuations according to time zones.

  From the above, when the sunlight lighting system 10 includes two or more types selected from the first daylighting unit 20, the second daylighting unit 30, and the third daylighting unit 40, the daylighting efficiency of the season or time zone is improved. The fluctuation is effectively suppressed, and a predetermined amount of light can be taken into the room 95 regardless of the season or time zone. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the need to use illumination means other than the sunlight daylighting means in a time zone with low daylighting efficiency. In addition, it is possible to eliminate a sense of incongruity caused by the occurrence of light and darkness different from the outdoors.

In the illustrated example, the sunlight daylighting system 10 includes three kinds of daylighting means: a first daylighting means 20, a second daylighting means 30, and a third daylighting means 40. For this reason, according to the illustrated embodiment, it is possible to effectively suppress fluctuations in the daylighting efficiency depending on the season and time zone, and it can be used effectively for daytime indoor lighting. Therefore, by using the sunlight collected by the sunlight lighting system, it is possible to reduce the amount of electric lighting used in the daytime and contribute to energy saving and CO ₂ reduction.

  Hereinafter, specific configurations of the light guide unit 50, the first daylighting unit 20, the second daylighting unit 30, and the third daylighting unit 40 will be described in detail in order with reference to the illustrated embodiment. The first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30 described below have a structure suitable for daylighting from the south. In particular, the first daylighting means 20 has a structure suitable for daylight from the south in winter, that is, daylight in the daytime in winter, and the second daylighting means 30 is sunlight from the south in summer. That is, it has a structure suitable for daylighting in the daytime in summer. On the other hand, the third daylighting means 40 has a structure suitable for daylight from the east and west, that is, daylight in the morning or evening.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 6, and 8, the light guide unit 50 includes a light guide member that is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the light collecting unit 20 is configured such that light travels inside the hollow light guide member. , 30, 40 to the room 95. As an example, the light guide members 61, 62, 63, 64, and 65 of the light guide means 50 can be ducts made using a metal plate whose inner surface is coated with a high reflectance material such as silver. . In the illustrated embodiment, the light guide means 50 is a merging light guide member formed by the first to fourth light guide members 61 to 64 and the first to fourth light guide members 61 to 64 joining together. 65 (see FIG. 1).

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the first light guide member 61 has a first connection surface 29 formed by an open end surface of the first daylighting means 20 and is connected to the first light guide member 61 from one side in the first direction d1. 1 is connected to the daylighting means 20. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the second light guide member 62 is disposed on one side in the first direction d <b> 1 via the second connection surface 39 formed by the open end surface of the second daylighting means 30. To the second daylighting means 30. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 8, the third light guide member 63 is disposed on one side in the second direction d2 via the third connection surface 49a formed by the open end surface of the third daylighting means 40. The fourth light guide member 64 is connected to the third daylighting means 40 from the other side in the second direction d2 via the fourth connection surface 49b formed by the open end face of the third daylighting means 40. 3 It is connected to the daylighting means 40.

  The first to fourth light guide members 61 to 64 join together to form a join light guide member 65 and are connected to the ceiling 93. The ratio of the amount of light collected by each of the first to third daylighting means 20, 30, and 40 to which the first to fourth light guide members 61 to 64 are connected varies depending on the season and time zone. Accordingly, the first to fourth light guide members 61 to 64 merge with the merged light guide member 65, and the end of the merged light guide member 65 is opened to the room 95. It is possible to prevent the light distribution characteristics of the light emitted from the merging light guide member 65 and the illuminance distribution in the room 95 from changing according to the season and time zone. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a diffusion plate 52 is installed at the end of the light guide means 50 connected to the room 95. According to the diffusing plate 52, it is possible to illuminate the interior of the room 95 evenly.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the counter panel 27 has a counter reflection surface 22 as a surface facing the first light incident panel 26. As shown in FIG. 4, the opposing reflection surface 22 disposed to face the first light incident surface 21 extends from the first light incident surface 21 toward the one side from the other side along the first direction d1. It inclines with respect to the 1st light-incidence surface 21 so that it may space apart. On the other side in the first direction d1, the first light incident surface 21 and the counter reflecting surface 22 are connected. In addition, side reflecting surfaces 23 may be provided between the first light incident surface 21 and the opposing reflecting surface 22 on both sides in the direction orthogonal to the first direction. The side reflection surface 23 is formed by the inner surface of the side panel 28.

It is made. The connection surface 29 is orthogonal to the panel surface of the first light incident panel 26. In other words, the first light guide member 61 of the light guide means 50 is connected to the opening defined between the first light incident surface 21 and the counter reflective surface 22 at the edge on one side in the first direction d1. Yes. The panel surface refers to a surface that coincides with the planar direction of the target panel-like member when the target panel-like member is viewed as a whole and as a whole.

  The opposing reflection surface 22 and the side reflection surface 23 have a function of reflecting light, preferably a function of specular reflection of light, that is, a function of specular reflection. The opposing reflection surface 22 and the side reflection surface 23 have a function of reflecting light, and prevent the light that has entered the first daylighting means 20 from leaking through the first light incident surface 21, and the first connection. Guide to plane 29. As an example, the opposing panel 27 and the side panel 28 can be manufactured using a metal plate whose inner surface is coated with a high reflectance material such as silver.

In order to ensure excellent lighting efficiency, the total light transmittance of the first light incident panel 26 is preferably 80% or more, and more preferably 90% or more. Here, the total light transmittance can be measured by a method based on JIS K7361.

As described above, the first daylighting unit 20 is connected to the light guide unit 50 from one side in the first direction d1 extending on the virtual plane vp. For this reason, the first daylighting means 20 can take the light that travels from the other side to the one side in the first direction d1 after entering the first light incident surface 21 with excellent daylighting efficiency. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the first light incident panel 26 has a deflection function, and the traveling direction of light observed from a direction orthogonal to the first direction d1 and parallel to the virtual plane vp. Bend. Therefore, the deflection function of the first light incident panel 26 bends the traveling direction of light mainly traveling in a plane orthogonal to the virtual plane vp and parallel to the first direction d1. Specifically, in the visual field shown in FIG. 4, that is, when observed from a direction parallel to the virtual plane vp and orthogonal to the first direction d1, the first light incident panel 26 is the other in the first direction d1. The light incident on the first light incident surface 21 from the side has an emission angle θ _t directed from the first light incident panel 26 to the inside of the first daylighting means 20 rather than the incident angle θ _i to the first light incident panel 26. It is deflected so as to be larger, and is advanced to one side in the first direction d1. In other words, the first light incident panel 26 deflects the traveling direction of the light incident on the first light incident surface 21 from the direction rising from the virtual plane vp to the direction lying on the virtual plane vp.

In such a first daylighting means, the first light incident panel 26 travels in a plane perpendicular to the virtual plane vp and parallel to the first direction d1, and the first light incident panel from the other side in the first direction d1. The angle of the traveling direction of the light incident on 26 and transmitted through the first light incident panel 26 to one side in the first direction d1 is defined by the traveling direction with respect to the normal direction nd to the virtual plane vp. Has a deflection function of bending so that it becomes larger after transmission than before incidence (θ _i > θ _t ). Accordingly, the first daylighting means 20 having the first light incident panel 26 is light from the sun located at a relatively high altitude, depending on the inclination angle of the virtual plane vp with respect to the horizontal plane hp. Light traveling from the other side to the one side in the direction d1 can be collected very efficiently and guided to the light guide means 50. From this point, the first daylighting means 20 is suitable for daylighting from the sun in the daytime, not in the morning and evening, depending on the inclination angle of the virtual plane vp with respect to the horizontal plane hp. Therefore, when arranging the first daylighting means 20, in observation from the vertical direction vd, the angle formed by the first direction d1 with respect to the north-south direction is small and one side in the first direction d1 (the light guide means 50 is The side connected to the first daylighting means 20 is preferably the north side in the north-south direction. In this case, sunlight can be collected with high efficiency during a time period when the altitude of the sun is relatively high.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the first light incident panel 26. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the first light incident panel 26 is formed by a first optical sheet 70. The first optical sheet 70 includes a sheet-like main body 71 and a plurality of light incident side unit prisms 72 arranged on the light incident side 71a surface of the main body 71 along the first direction d1. Yes. The light incident side unit prism 72 extends linearly on the sheet surface of the optical sheet 70 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction d1. The light incident side unit prism 72 has a triangular cross-sectional shape in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. That is, the light incident side unit prism 72 has a first surface 72a located on one side along the first direction d1 and a second surface 72b located on the other side along the first direction d1. doing. The light incident side unit prisms 72 are arranged on the main body 71 without a gap, and the light incident side surface of the optical sheet 70, that is, the first light incident surface 21 of the first daylighting means 20 is more reinforced by the light incident side unit prism 72. Strictly speaking, it is formed by the first surface 72 a and the second surface 72 b of the light incident side unit prism 72. On the other hand, the light exit surface of the optical sheet 70 is formed by the light exit side surface 71b of the main body 71, and is formed as a smooth surface in the illustrated embodiment.

  By the way, the “unit prism” in the present specification means an element having a function of changing an advancing direction of the light by exerting an optical action such as refraction or reflection on the light, and only a difference in the designation. Is not distinguished from such elements as “unit element”, “unit shape element”, “unit optical element”, and “unit lens”. In addition, “smoothing” in the present specification means smoothing in an optical sense. That is, here, it means the degree to which a certain percentage of transmitted light in the visible light band is refracted while satisfying Snell's law. Therefore, for example, if the 10-point average roughness Rz (JISB0601) of the light emission side surface 71b is equal to or shorter than the shortest visible light wavelength (0.38 μm), it is sufficiently smooth.

As shown in FIG. 5, the light incident on the first optical sheet 70 from the other side in the first direction d1 is often located on the other side of the light incident side unit prism 72 in the first direction d1. Is incident on the second surface 72b. At this time, the light enters the first optical sheet 70 without greatly changing the traveling direction on the second surface 72b. On the other hand, the light is refracted at the light exit side surface 71 b of the main body 71, passes through the first optical sheet 70, and enters the first daylighting unit 20. In this way, the first light incident panel 26 causes the light incident on the first light incident surface 21 from the other side in the first direction d1 to be first than the incident angle θ _i to the first light incident panel 26. The light is deflected so that the outgoing angle θ _t after passing through the light incident panel 26 becomes larger. As shown in FIG. 4, the light incident on the first daylighting means 20 is obtained by the deflection function of the first light incident panel 26 made by the first optical sheet 70 or in addition to the deflection function of the first light incident panel 26. Due to the deflection function of the opposing reflecting surface 22 of the opposing panel 27, the light is guided to the first connecting surface 29 located on one side in the first direction d 1 in the first daylighting means 20 and connected to the first connecting surface 29. It is taken into the first light guide member 61 of the light means 50.

  Next, the second daylighting means 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3A and FIG. 6, the second daylighting means 30 is disposed opposite to the second light incident panel 36 that forms the second light incident surface 31 and the second light incident panel 36. And the side panel 38 that closes the gap between the second light incident panel 36 and the counter panel 37 from the side. The second light incident panel 36 is arranged such that the second light incident surface 31 is located on the virtual plane vp. The second daylighting means 30 is configured in the same manner as the portion corresponding to the first daylighting means 20 except for the deflection function of the second light incident panel 36 being different from the deflection function of the first light incident panel 26. obtain. Specifically, the opposing panel 37 of the second daylighting means 30 can be configured the same as the opposing panel 27 of the first daylighting means 20, and the side panel 38 of the second daylighting means 30 is replaced with the first daylighting means 20. The side panel 28 can be configured in the same manner. Hereinafter, only the points of the second light incident panel 36 that are different from the first light incident panel 26 will be described while avoiding redundant description.

  As described above, the second light incident panel 36 forming the second light incident surface 31 has a deflection function, and is mainly observed when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the first direction d1 and parallel to the virtual plane vp. Bend the direction of light travel. In the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first direction d1 and parallel to the virtual plane vp as shown in FIGS. With this deflection function, the traveling direction of light incident from the direction rising with respect to the light incident surfaces 21 and 31 is bent so as to face the connection surfaces 29 and 39 connected to the light guide means 50. However, the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30 have different degrees of deflection function. As described above, the second light incident panel 36 forming the second light incident surface 31 of the second daylighting unit 30 advances in directions parallel to each other in a plane orthogonal to the virtual plane vp and parallel to the first direction d1. Has a deflection function of bending the traveling direction of the light incident on the first light incident panel 26 in a different direction. That is, when observed from a direction orthogonal to the first direction d1 and parallel to the virtual plane vp (that is, the observation state shown in FIGS. 4 and 6), it is incident on the light incident surfaces 21 and 31 from the same direction. The first light incident panel 26 and the second light incident panel 36 are bent in different directions, that is, the light emission directions from the light incident panels 26 and 36 are different. In other words, the first daylighting unit 20 and the second daylighting unit 30 have different incident directions of light that are directed toward the connection surfaces 29 and 39 by the deflection function of the light incident panels 26 and 36. In other words, the first and second daylighting means 20 and 30 have different design incident directions of light intended to be guided to the light guiding means 50.

  As can be understood from the comparison between FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the second light incident panel 36 of the second daylighting unit 30 bends the light traveling direction larger than the first light incident panel 26 of the first daylighting unit 20. be able to. In particular, in the illustrated embodiment, the second light incident panel 36 bends the traveling direction of light that travels from one side to the other side in the first direction d1 and enters the second light incident surface 31, It is also possible to deflect the first direction d1 so as to proceed from the other side to the one side and guide the second connection surface 39.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the second light incident panel 36. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the second light incident panel 36 includes the first optical sheet 70 described above and a second light incident surface 31 that is disposed on the light incident side of the first optical sheet 70 and forms the second light incident surface 31. And an optical sheet 75. The second optical sheet 75 includes a sheet-like main body 76, a plurality of light incident side unit prisms 77 arranged on the light incident side surface 76 a of the main body 76 along the first direction d 1, and the main body 76. A plurality of light incident side unit prisms 78 arranged along the first direction d1 on the light exit side surface 76b.

  The light incident side unit prism 77 extends linearly on the sheet surface of the second optical sheet 75 in a direction orthogonal to the first direction d1. The light incident side unit prism 77 has a triangular cross section in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. That is, the light incident side unit prism 77 has a first surface 77a located on one side along the first direction d1 and a second surface 77b located on the other side along the first direction d1. doing. The light incident side unit prisms 77 are arranged on the main body 76 without a gap, and the light incident side surface of the second optical sheet 75, that is, the second light incident surface 31 of the second daylighting means 30 is formed by the light incident side unit prism 77. More precisely, it is formed by the first surface 77 a and the second surface 77 b of the light incident side unit prism 77.

  The light output side unit prism 78 extends linearly on the sheet surface of the second optical sheet 75 in a direction orthogonal to the first direction d1. The light output side unit prism 78 has a triangular cross section in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. In other words, the light output side unit prism 78 has a first surface 78a located on one side along the first direction d1, and a second surface 78b located on the other side along the first direction d1. ing. The light output side unit prisms 78 are arranged on the main body 76 without any gap, and the light output side surface of the second optical sheet 75 is formed by the first surface 78 a and the second surface 78 b of the light output side unit prism 78.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the first surface 77a of the light incident side unit prism 77 and the first surface 78a of the light output side unit prism 78 are raised surfaces having a small inclination angle with respect to the normal direction nd to the virtual plane vp. Is formed. On the other hand, the second surface 77b of the light incident side unit prism 77 and the second surface 78b of the light output side unit prism 78 are formed as sleeping surfaces having a large inclination angle with respect to the normal direction nd to the virtual plane vp. Then, the second surface 77b of the light incident side unit prism 77 and the second surface 78b of the light output side unit prism 78 approach the main body 76 from one side to the other side in the first direction d1. In many cases, such light traveling toward the second optical sheet 75 is incident on the second optical sheet 75 via the second surface 77b of the light incident side unit prism 77, and further, the light emitted from the light output side unit prism 78. The light is emitted from the second optical sheet 75 through the second surface 78b. Further, as described above, a large amount of light enters the first optical sheet 70 through the second surface 72b of the light incident side unit prism 72, and further, the second light passes through the light output side surface 71b of the main body 71. The light comes out from the optical sheet 75.

  When taking such an optical path, the light traveling direction changes due to refraction at each interface. At any of the interfaces, if the angle value at the time of traveling from one side to the other side in the first direction d1 with respect to the normal direction to the virtual plane vp is a positive value (that is, in FIG. 7) The angle value with respect to the normal direction nd of the light traveling direction when entering the first optical sheet, and the angle value with respect to the normal direction nd of the light traveling direction when exiting from the first optical sheet in FIG. ) Is a positive value), the angle formed by the light traveling direction with respect to the normal direction nd tends to gradually increase. Thereby, when observed from a direction orthogonal to the first direction d1 and parallel to the virtual plane vp, light traveling from one side to the other side in the first direction d1 is also transmitted from the other side in the first direction d1. It can be deflected towards one side. As described above, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the light incident on the second daylighting means 30 is caused by the deflection function of the second light incident panel 36 made by the optical sheets 75 and 70, or the second In addition to the deflecting function of the light incident panel 36, the deflecting function by the opposing reflecting surface 32 of the opposing panel 37 is guided to the second connection surface 39 located on one side in the first direction d1 in the second daylighting means 30, It is taken in by the second light guide member 62 of the light guide means 50 connected to the second connection surface 39.

  Next, the 3rd daylighting means 40 is demonstrated. As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the third daylighting means 40 includes a third light incident panel 46 that forms a third light incident surface 41, and a counter panel 47 that is disposed to face the third light incident panel 46. And a side panel 48 for closing the gap between the third light incident panel 46 and the opposing panel 47 from the side. The third light incident panel 46 is arranged such that the third light incident surface 41 is located on the virtual plane vp.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the opposing panel 47 has an opposing reflecting surface 42 as a surface facing the third light incident panel 46. As shown in FIG. 8, the opposing reflection surface 42 disposed to face the third light incident surface 41 is maintained at a substantially constant distance from the third light incident surface 41 along the second direction d2. Further, side reflecting surfaces 43 are provided on both sides in the direction orthogonal to the second direction d2, and the space between the third light incident surface 41 and the opposing reflecting surface 42 is closed. The side reflection surface 43 is formed by the inner surface of the side panel 48.

  As a specific configuration, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the third daylighting means 40 has a hollow cylindrical member 45, and at least one of the cylindrical members 45 is opened to guide the light. 50 is formed. In the illustrated embodiment, the end surfaces of the cylindrical member 45 opened on both sides in the second direction d2 form connection surfaces that connect to the light guide means 50, respectively. Specifically, as described above, the third light guide member 63 is connected to the third daylighting means 40 from the one side in the second direction d2 via the third connection surface 49a, and the fourth light guide member 64 is connected. However, it is connected to the 3rd daylighting means 40 via the 4th connection surface 49b from the other side in the 2nd direction d2. The connection surfaces 49a and 49b are orthogonal to the panel surface of the third light incident panel 46, respectively.

  In the example shown in FIG. 10, the tubular member 45 is formed in a square tube shape, and each side surface of the square tube forms a third light incident panel 46, a counter panel 47, and a pair of side panels 48. . The inner surface of the cylindrical member 45 that forms the opposing panel 47 and the pair of side panels 48 is formed as a reflective surface. The opposing reflection surface 42 and the side reflection surface 43 have a function of reflecting light, preferably a function of specular reflection of light, that is, a function of specular reflection. For example, the cylindrical member 45 may be configured to exhibit a reflection function by being coated on the inner surface with a high reflectance material such as silver.

  Since the third light incident panel 46 of the third daylighting means 40 forms the third light incident surface 41, it has a certain degree of visible light transparency. For this reason, the third light incident panel 46 forming the third light incident surface 41 has a function of transmitting at least light in the visible light band.

  Ideally, the light incident on the inside of the third daylighting means 40 through the third light incident panel 46 is directly incident on the connection surfaces 49a and 49b, or is reflected and connected only once by the opposing reflection surface 42. The light enters the surfaces 49a and 49b. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of guiding more light to the connection surfaces 49a and 49b, as shown in FIG. 8, the third light entrance panel 46 may be a half mirror so that it exhibits some reflection function. As such a third light entrance panel 46, a panel in which a metal film such as aluminum or a single layer or a multilayer coat of a dielectric is applied to the inner surface can be used.

  As another example, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 9, the third light incident panel 46 is formed along the second direction d2 on the sheet-like main body 46 a and the light incident side surface of the main body 46 a. And a plurality of unit prisms 46b arranged. The light exit side surface of the main body 46a is preferably formed as a smooth surface. According to the third light incident panel 46 having the unit prism 46b, in the visual field shown in FIG. 9, that is, when observed from a direction parallel to the virtual plane vp and perpendicular to the second direction d2, the third light incident panel 46 is transmitted through the third light incident panel 46 so that the angle of emission from the third light incident panel 46 toward the inside of the third daylighting means 40 is larger than the angle of incidence on the third light incident panel 46. It becomes possible to deflect the traveling direction of light. By such a deflection function of the unit prism 46b, it becomes possible to more efficiently guide the incident light to the third daylighting means 40 to the connection surfaces 49a and 49b.

  As described above, the third daylighting means 40 as described above is connected from both sides in the second direction d2 by the light guide means 50, so that after entering the third light incident surface 41, the other in the second direction d2 is used. The light traveling from one side to the other side and the light traveling from one side to the other side in the second direction d2 with high lighting efficiency, particularly in the installation state of FIG. Sunlight traveling along the direction d2 can be collected with high daylighting efficiency. In addition, the third daylighting means 40 has a simple configuration, and can very efficiently guide light traveling in a direction that does not largely tilt with respect to the virtual plane vp to the connection surfaces 49a and 49b. Therefore, the third daylighting means 40 having the third light incident panel 46 is light from the sun located at a relatively low altitude, depending on the inclination angle of the virtual plane vp with respect to the horizontal plane hp, Light traveling from the other side in the two directions d2 to one side or from one side to the other side can be collected very efficiently and guided to the light guide means 50. From this point, the third daylighting means 40 is suitable for daylighting from the morning and evening sun instead of midday, depending on the inclination angle of the virtual plane vp with respect to the horizontal plane hp. Therefore, in arranging the third daylighting means 40, it is preferable that the angle formed by the second direction d2 with respect to the east-west direction is small in the observation from the vertical direction vd. In this case, sunlight can be taken with high efficiency in the morning and evening hours when the altitude of the sun is relatively low.

  Next, the arrangement of the first to third daylighting means 20, 30, 40 in the illustrated embodiment will be described.

  First, as described above, the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30 are light from the sun located at a relatively high altitude and traveling from the other side to the one side in the first direction d1. Can be lighted very efficiently and guided to the light guide 50. The second daylighting means 30 is suitable for daylighting from the higher altitude sun than the first daylighting means 20, and the light from the higher altitude sun traveling from one side to the other side in the first direction d1. Can also be efficiently led to the light guide means 50. Therefore, in arranging the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30, when the installed sunlight daylighting system 10 is observed from the vertical direction vd, the angle formed by the first direction d1 with respect to the north-south direction It is an advantageous condition that the size is smaller than the size of the angle formed by the first direction d1 with respect to the east-west direction. Furthermore, it is preferable that one side in the first direction d1 is the north side in the north-south direction.

  The third daylighting means 40 is light from the sun located at a relatively low altitude, and one side from the other side in the second direction d2 or one side to the other in the second direction d2. The light traveling toward this side can be collected very efficiently and guided to the light guide means 50. Therefore, in arranging the third daylighting means 40, when the installed sunlight daylighting system 10 is observed from the vertical direction vd, the magnitude of the angle formed by the second direction d2 with respect to the east-west direction is the second level. An advantageous condition is that the direction d2 is smaller than the angle formed with respect to the north-south direction.

  Then, in arranging at least one of the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30 and the third daylighting means 40, when the installed sunlight daylighting system 10 is observed from the vertical direction vd, It is preferable that the size of the angle formed by the one direction d1 with respect to the north-south direction is smaller than the size of the angle formed by the second direction d2 with respect to the north-south direction. Moreover, it is preferable that the magnitude | size of the angle which the 2nd direction d2 makes with respect to the east-west direction is smaller than the magnitude | size of the angle which the 1st direction d1 makes with respect to the east-west direction. Furthermore, it is preferable that one side in the first direction d1 is the north side in the north-south direction. In order to satisfy these conditions, the angle formed by the first direction d1 and the second direction is preferably greater than 45 ° and not greater than 90 °.

  The solar lighting system 10 shown in FIG. 2 is provided with three types of daylighting means: a first daylighting means 20, a second daylighting means 30, and a third daylighting means 40. In the observation from the vertical direction vd, the first direction d1 coincides with the north-south direction, and one side in the first direction d1 faces north and the other side faces south. Therefore, the 1st daylighting means 20 and the 2nd daylighting means 30 can daylight very efficiently. On the other hand, in the observation from the vertical direction vd, the second direction d2 is orthogonal to the first direction d1 and coincides with the east-west direction. Therefore, the 3rd daylighting means 40 can light sunlight very efficiently.

In such a daylighting system 10, since the two daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30 are included, the daylighting system 10 stably and efficiently collects light regardless of the altitude of the sun. It becomes possible. That is, sunlight from the same direction with stable efficiency without causing large fluctuations according to the altitude of the sun, for example, with stable efficiency without causing large fluctuations according to the season, Can be daylighted. Furthermore, since the third daylighting means 40 is provided in addition to the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30, the light from two different directions d1 and d2 can be efficiently used in the observation from the vertical direction vd. Daylight. Therefore, it is possible to sample sunlight with stable efficiency without causing large fluctuations according to the direction of the sun, for example, with stable efficiency without causing large fluctuations according to the time zone. . From the above, according to the solar light daylighting system 10 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to effectively suppress fluctuations in the daylighting efficiency depending on the season and time zone while avoiding the complexity of the structure. A stable amount of sunlight can be obtained throughout the year. That is, by removing the problem that this type of solar lighting system 10 has in the past, it is possible to greatly contribute to energy saving and CO ₂ reduction through the widespread use of the solar lighting system 10.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 1, the virtual plane vp on which the light incident surfaces 21, 31, 41 of the daylighting means 20, 30, 40 are located may be inclined to the horizontal plane hp. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the virtual plane vp is inclined by 24 ° with respect to the horizontal plane hp when observed from the east-west direction. Here, FIG. 11 shows the solar movement path based on the horizontal plane hp on which the building 90 is installed on the assumption that the building 90 is installed at 135.5 ° east longitude and 35.5 ° north latitude. It is a figure. On the other hand, FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the solar movement path with reference to the virtual plane vp defined by the roof 91 of the building 90. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a solar movement path from the normal direction nd to the virtual plane vp. The sun moves in an area sandwiched between the summer solstice movement path t1 and the winter solstice movement path t2. And according to the example shown in figure, the 1st daylighting means 20 can absorb the light from the sun located in area | region A1 efficiently, and the 2nd daylighting means 30 is from the sun located in area | region A2. Can be efficiently absorbed, and the third daylighting means 40 can efficiently absorb the light from the sun located in the region A3.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, since the virtual plane vp is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane hp, the solar lighting system 10 has a north side in the north-south direction with respect to the normal direction nd to the virtual plane vp. Sunlight also enters from the direction inclined to. As described above and as shown in FIG. 7, the second daylighting means 30 determines the traveling direction of the light that travels from one side to the other side in the first direction d1 and enters the second light incident surface 31. The first direction d1 can be changed so as to proceed from the other side to the one side. For this reason, according to the second daylighting means 30, sunlight from a direction inclined northward with respect to the normal direction nd to the virtual plane vp is also located, that is, within the area A1 in FIGS. Light from the sun can also be collected efficiently.

  In the illustrated example, the first daylighting unit 20 and the second daylighting unit 30 are not parallel to the first direction d1, more specifically, a direction orthogonal to the first direction d1, in other words, They are arranged side by side in two directions d2, or in other words, in the east-west direction. The third daylighting means 40 is arranged on the other side in the first direction d1 of the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30, in other words, on the south side in the north-south direction of the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30. ing. According to such a sunlight lighting system 10, as shown in FIG. 2, it is extremely efficient to use each lighting means 20, 30, 40 while effectively utilizing the limited space of the roof 91 of the building 90. Sunlight can be taken.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, in the form in which the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30 are arranged side by side, the first light input panel 26 incorporated in the first daylighting means 20 is first. The optical sheet 70 and the first optical sheet 70 of the second light incident panel 36 of the second daylighting means 30 may be connected. That is, the first optical sheet 70 of the first light incident panel 26 may be formed integrally with the first optical sheet 70 of the second light incident panel 36. In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the second optical sheet 75 is disposed on a portion of the first optical sheet 70, and the portion where the second optical sheet 75 is disposed constitutes the second daylighting means 30. A portion where the second optical sheet 75 is not disposed constitutes the first daylighting means 20. According to such a configuration, the configuration of the solar lighting system 10 can be further simplified. In such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 3C, the second optical sheet 75 may be arranged at the central portion in the second direction d2 of the first optical sheet 70. That is, the first daylighting means 20 may be arranged side by side on both sides of the second daylighting means 30 in the second direction d2.

  Further, when the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30 are arranged in the second direction d2, it is not necessary to divide the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30 by the side panels 28 and 38. As shown in FIG. 3B, the side panel between the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30 may be removed. In other words, the inside of the first daylighting means 20 and the inside of the second daylighting means 30 may communicate with each other in the arrangement direction without providing a partition therebetween. According to such an aspect, since the reflection loss in the removed side panel does not occur, the daylighting efficiency of the sunlight daylighting system 10 can be further improved.

  Here, the following simulation results will be described as a part of the simulation results and experimental results performed by the present inventors.

  First, FIG. 14 shows a model of the solar lighting system 10 as a simulation target. In this simulation model, the same configuration and arrangement as those of the solar lighting system 10 described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 14 shows the dimensions of the model. The dimensions not shown in FIG. 14 were set as follows.

Regarding the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30, the arrangement pitch of the light incident side unit prisms 72 in the first optical sheet 70 in the first direction d1 was set to 0.2 mm. The angle θ ₁₁ (see FIG. 5) formed by the first surface 72a of the light incident side unit prism 72 with respect to the virtual plane vp is 49 °, and the second surface 72b of the light incident side unit prism 72 is the virtual plane vp. The angle θ ₁₂ (see FIG. 5) made with respect to is set to 20 °. The arrangement pitch of the light incident side unit prism 77 and the light exiting side unit prism 78 in the second optical sheet 75 in the first direction d1 is both 0.2 mm. The angles θ ₂₁ and θ ₃₁ (see FIG. 7) formed by the first surfaces 77a and 78a of the unit prisms 77 and 78 with respect to the virtual plane vp are 90 °, and the second surfaces of the unit prisms 77 and 78 The angles θ ₂₂ and θ ₃₂ (see FIG. 7) formed by 77b and 78b with respect to the virtual plane vp are set to 30 °. The first optical sheet 70 and the second optical sheet 75 have a refractive index of 1.55 on the surface of a base material made of polymethyl methacrylate resin by using a mold produced by cutting a brass plate with a diamond bite. It was prepared by shaping an ultraviolet curable resin. In the second daylighting means 30, a space of 0.5 mm was provided between the first optical sheet 70 and the second optical sheet 75. The reflectances of the opposing reflecting surfaces 22 and 32 and the side reflecting surfaces 23 and 33 were 95%.

  Regarding the third daylighting means 40, the third light incident panel 46 was a polymethyl methacrylate resin plate having a thickness of 4 mm. The reflectances of the opposing reflecting surface 42 and the side reflecting surface 43 were 95%.

  In the simulation model, it is assumed that the first daylighting unit 20, the second daylighting unit 30, and the third daylighting unit 40 are installed on the roof 91 of the building 90 located at 135.5 ° east longitude and 35.5 ° north latitude. The virtual plane vp that is parallel to the roof 91 and parallel to the light incident surfaces 21, 31, and 41 is assumed to be inclined by 24 ° with respect to the horizontal plane hp so that the north side is positioned upward in the north-south direction.

  The lighting efficiency was simulated for the above model under the following conditions. Here, the daylighting efficiency is the ratio of the amount of light that reaches the connection surface of each daylighting unit of the incident light to the amount of incident light that directly enters the light incident surface from the sun. The lighting efficiency was examined every other month from the winter solstice (December 21) to the summer solstice (June 21) and every hour from 5 am to noon. The lighting efficiency for the season from the summer solstice to the winter solstice, and the time zone from noon to evening is almost symmetrical, and is omitted. The daylighting efficiency includes the results for the first daylighting means 20 alone, the results for the second daylighting means 30 alone, the results for the third daylighting means 40 alone, and the first to third daylighting means 20, 30, 40. The results of the solar lighting system 10 as a whole were investigated. The results for the first daylighting means 20 are shown in Table 1 and FIG. 15, the results for the second daylighting means 30 are shown in Tables 2 and 16, and the results for the third daylighting means 40 are shown in Tables 3 and 17. The result about the whole sunlight lighting system 10 is shown in Table 4 and FIG. The blanks in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3 correspond to the time when the sun is sunset.

According to the embodiment as described above, as demonstrated in the results in FIGS. 15 to 18 and Tables 1 to 4, fluctuations in the daylighting efficiency due to the season or time zone can be effectively suppressed. . Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the need to use illumination means other than the sunlight daylighting means in a time zone with low daylighting efficiency. In addition, it is possible to eliminate a sense of incongruity caused by the occurrence of light and darkness different from the outdoors. In addition, by using sunlight collected by the sunlight lighting system 10, it is possible to contribute to energy saving and CO ₂ reduction.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on embodiment shown in figure, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, In addition, it can implement in a various aspect. In the following description and the drawings used in the following description, the same reference numerals as those used for the corresponding parts in the above embodiment are used for the parts that can be configured in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

In the example shown in FIG. 19, the daylighting means of the sunlight daylighting system 100 is attached to an outer wall 92 facing the south side. In the sunlight lighting system 100 in the installed state of FIG. 19, the angle formed by the virtual plane vp with respect to the vertical direction becomes very small, typically 0 °. The solar lighting system 100 shown in FIG. 19 has at least two of the first daylighting means 20, the second daylighting means 30, and the third daylighting means 40, as in the embodiment described above. As a result, the example shown in FIG. 19 can also provide the same operational effects as those of the above-described embodiment, and can effectively suppress fluctuations in daylighting efficiency depending on the season or time zone.

  The first daylighting means 20, the second daylighting means 30, and the third daylighting means 40 that can be incorporated into the sunlight daylighting system 100 of FIG. 19 can be configured in the same manner as each daylighting means of the above-described embodiment. 20 shows an example of the first daylighting means 20 incorporated in the sunlight daylighting system 100 of FIG. 19, and FIG. 21 shows an example of the second daylighting means 30 incorporated in the sunlight daylighting system 100 of FIG. It is shown. In the first daylighting means 20 shown in FIG. 20, the cross-sectional shapes of the prisms included in the optical sheets 70 and 75 are different, and the light incident side unit prism 77 of the second optical sheet 75 is not provided. The degree is different from that of the first daylighting means described in the above-described embodiment, but the other parts are the same. Further, in the second daylighting means 30 shown in FIG. 21, the degree of polarization function is different from the second daylighting means described in the above-described embodiment because the cross-sectional shape of the prism included in the optical sheet 70 is different. Others are the same.

The second daylighting means 30 is suitable for daylighting from the sun at a lower altitude than the first daylighting means 20. Therefore, in arranging the first daylighting means 20 and the second daylighting means 30, in other words, when the sunlight daylighting system 100 installed on the outer wall 92 is observed from the normal direction nd to the virtual plane vp, When it is determined in a state of being projected onto the virtual plane vp along the normal direction nd to the virtual plane vp, the magnitude of the angle formed by the first direction d1 with respect to the vertical direction is such that the first direction d1 is the horizontal direction. An advantageous condition is that the angle is smaller than the angle formed with respect to hd. Furthermore, it is preferable that the one side that is the side to which the light guide means 50 is connected in the first direction d1 is the lower side in the vertical direction.

When observed from the line direction nd, in other words, the angle formed by the first direction d1 with respect to the vertical direction when it is determined in a state of being projected onto the virtual plane vp along the normal direction nd to the virtual plane vp. Is preferably smaller than the angle formed by the second direction d2 with respect to the lead direction. Further, it is preferable that the angle formed by the second direction d2 with respect to the horizontal direction hd is smaller than the angle formed by the first direction d1 with respect to the horizontal direction hd. Furthermore, it is preferable that one side in the first direction d1 is a lower side in the vertical direction. In order to satisfy these conditions, the angle formed by the first direction d1 and the second direction is preferably greater than 45 ° and not greater than 90 °.
