DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a building (including a building) in consideration of growing plants indoors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Agricultural greenhouses and large greenhouses in leisure facilities in various places are known as facilities that enable indoor plants to be grown. These are structures in which the periphery including the upper surface of the plant growing area is surrounded by a transparent sheet or glass or the like, and there is a problem of daylighting, so that the upper surface cannot be a building with human habitation or living space.

[0003] In order to provide a plant growing area in coexistence with human habitation or living space, the daylighting should be sufficiently considered as in an atrium (middle tsubo, courtyard) structure, or a large daylighting window should be taken. Need to prepare artificial lighting equipment.

It is already known to guide sunlight into a room by means of a reflector or by means of glass fibers. (JP-A-58-193625, JP-B-53-29614)

In 1964, it was discovered by accident from a polygraph (lie detector) that a plant also had an emotional system, and the movement of human emotions affected the plant's emotional system. Conversely, on the contrary, it has been known that some system of plants acts on the human system. For example, Mr. Yamano, who established the system of tree doctors, states in his book "I can hear the voice of trees" that humans have trees of a type that matches the wavelength of each individual, and wear the leaves of the trees. Teaches that being alone can help maintain health. The existence of a common system between humans and plants has been reported in books such as "Super Nature", and the ideological flow from Mr. Yoichi Sakurazawa to Mr. Masanobu Fukuoka teaches, but at present Many are considered unknown dark systems. However, in the field of medicine, the relationship between an individual and the efficacy of a particular drug is being investigated through an "O-ring" test, and there are some parts that have been put into practical use before a theoretical elucidation can be made. It has already been empirically proved that the transfer of warm human emotions has the effect of promoting plant growth.

[0006] Conan Doyle, author of the renowned Sherlock Holmes, argued about the existence of some kind of extant system more than 100 years ago, That's the case. "

[0007] With the ceaseless efforts of our predecessors, the relationship between humans and their environment has been an important issue for a long time, and it has been widely recognized that humans must coexist with plants. . Forest bathing has been a boom for a long time since the components released by plants at night are proved to be beneficial to human health, and plants are often placed indoors. However, most of them are just putting potted plants on the windowsill or renting houseplants.

In order to secure a large-scale plant growing area indoors, it is necessary to devise measures such as providing a large atrium and increasing the size of a daylighting window. It will have a big impact.

[0009] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to clarify a building capable of growing plants indoors without greatly affecting the planning and design of the building. It is assumed that.

[0010]

According to the present invention, there is provided a building in consideration of growing plants, in which an opening is arranged in a certain range of east and west centering on the south side of the building, and an opening close to the opening is provided. Build a pond within a distance, and irradiate the plants planted indoors with sunlight reflected from the water surface of the pond directly or through a reflector placed near the opening of the building. It is characterized in that the wave structure is arranged and that the reflecting mirror arranged near the opening of the building can adjust the inclination angle.

[0011]

Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a building according to the present invention. A building 10 has a tree 11 in its internal space.
Are planted so that external light can be taken in through the side opening 12. The external light to be taken in has a structure in which not only diffused light due to air but also light reflected from the water surface of the pond 20 provided outside the building 10 is positively taken in. That is, the light reflected from the water surface of the pond 20 is introduced into the room directly or after being reflected by the reflecting mirror 30 disposed below the roof (eave) of the building 10.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the pond 20 is provided from the south side of the building 10 to a range of about 90 degrees in the east-west direction. Considering the position of the sun during the summer solstice, it is preferable to provide up to 120 degrees.

Further, the pond 20 is wide on the east and west sides and narrow on the south side in consideration of seasonal changes in the solar azimuth and altitude and the position of the light receiving surface. This is because the effective use of the site is also taken into consideration, and it is a matter of course that the entire area may have the same width.

The width of the pond 20 and the distance from the building 10 are
Sun altitude and azimuth at summer solstice and winter solstice are taken into account.
Since the solar altitude varies depending on the latitude, it needs to be adjusted depending on the land to be built. These can be easily calculated by applying a calculation formula of the sun position or a shade curve. It is not essential that the pond 20 be a continuous pond as shown in the figure, but in order to improve daylighting efficiency, it is preferable that an independent pond is arranged close to the pond.

Further, in the building according to the present invention, the following measures have been devised in order to improve the lighting efficiency.

When a wave is generated on the water surface of the pond 20, the reflected light of sunlight is scattered. As shown in FIG. 3, the wave-breaking structure 21 includes a wave-breaking plate 22 for partitioning the water surface into a predetermined area, and a support 23 and a weight 24 for installing the wave-breaking plate. Many of the 21 are located in the pond 20.

The width of the wave plate 22 is 3 to 10 cm from the water surface.
It is optional provided that there is a degree of rise. The area defined by the wave plate 22 ranges from about 100 cm ² to 3.
It is free up to about 3 m ² , but if it is too wide, the function of wave extinction is not exhibited. The planar shape formed by the wave-eliminating plate 22 can be any shape such as a circle, an ellipse, and a rectangle, and can be a combination of a plurality of them or a picture, a pattern, or a pattern.

The support 23 is preferably adjustable in height so as to correspond to the depth of the water in the pond 20.

It is preferable that the position of the wave-absorbing structure 21 can be adjusted in accordance with a change in altitude of the sun.

Conversely, when it is desired to block the reflected light from the pond 20, it can be performed by placing a wave-extinguishing plate rising from the water surface as a stand and placing a cover on the wave-extinguishing plate.
The blocking of the reflected light can also be performed by a method such as disposing a blind in the opening 12 or covering the mirror 30.

The wave-absorbing structure 21 described above is preferably made of a synthetic resin material, stainless steel, glass, or the like which is hardly corroded.

Instead of using the columns 23 and the weights 24, it is also preferable to adopt a structure in which the wave plate 22 floats on water.
In such an embodiment, it is preferable that the wave-extinguishing plate 22 is fixed by a fixing cable or the like so as not to be shifted from a predetermined position.

A reflector 30 placed under the eaves of the building 10
May be a single plane mirror, for example,
It is configured to be composed of an aggregate of plate-like bodies of about 0 cm, and each plate-like body can change the inclination angle. This makes it possible to arbitrarily adjust the incident angle of the light into the indoor by adjusting the inclination of the reflecting mirror 30 to an angle determined from the relationship between the reflected light from the pond 20 and the sun altitude.

Even when the reflecting mirror 30 is a single plane mirror, the reflection angle can be adjusted by inclining the entire mirror.

Although the reflecting mirror 30 is disposed below the eaves of the building 10 in the illustrated embodiment, the reflecting mirror 30 can be placed at any reflecting position where the reflected light from the pond 20 can be introduced through the opening 12. Although the vicinity of the opening 12 is often selected, it is preferable that the eaves be under the eaves, which is inconspicuous in view of the appearance.

The opening 12 of the building 10 may be a complete opening without a partition or the like, but is preferably shielded with a transparent material from the viewpoint of preventing the invasion of wind and rain and adjusting the room temperature. By providing a blind-like reflecting mirror structure in which the upper surface or the upper and lower surfaces can be mirrors inside such a transparent shielding material, light can be introduced into the interior of the room.

More preferably, by arranging a reflector on the ceiling, wall surface, floor surface, or the like of the indoor space where the tree 11 is to be planted, it is devised that the light taken into the room can be sufficiently distributed to each part of the tree 11. .

The tree 11 may be planted directly on the soil laid indoors, but more preferably has a large potted structure with a trolley. With this configuration,
The arrangement location can be changed from a location closer to the opening 12 to a location farther from the opening 12 and vice versa, and a surface that is not exposed to sunlight can be eliminated by periodically rotating.

The reflected light from the pond always fluctuates except when the water surface is in a completely stationary state, and light can be produced by introducing this fluctuation indoors. Furthermore, by illuminating the water surface of the pond at night, it is possible to introduce light fluctuations indoors, and it is also possible to introduce moonlight fluctuations.

[0031]

According to the structure of the present invention in which plant growth is considered, external light is introduced through the opening on the side of the building, and at that time, the pond located close to the building is opened. The light reflected from the water surface is configured to be introduced indoors. Since the water surface has a higher reflectance than the normal ground surface, it is possible to efficiently take in sunlight into the building. Only the area of the site where the pond is located and the sunshine conditions that allow sunlight to enter the pond are the only planning and design conditions, and the building itself is free for growing plants.
Unlike the conventional case, there is no need for an atrium or an upper opening, and the building can be designed freely.

The presence of the pond adds a look to the exterior of the building,
Although it is possible to create a peaceful space, the effect of two birds with one stone can be obtained by using the reflected light from the water surface for growing plants. In addition, a cooling effect by ambient air or wind in summer can be expected due to heat of vaporization by the water stored in the pond.
