[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In 1964, a polygraph (lie detector) experiment accidentally discovered that an emotional system also existed in plants, and the movement of human emotions affects the emotional system of plants. On the contrary, on the contrary, it has been known that some system of plants acts on the human system. For example, Mr. Yamano, who established a tree doctor's system, wrote in his book "Hearing the Voices of Trees" that humans have different types of trees that have different wavelengths. It teaches that just staying healthy helps you stay healthy. The existence of some 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 has been taught. Many are considered to be unknown dark systems. However, in the field of medicine, the relationship between the efficacy of a certain individual and a particular drug is being investigated through the "O-ring" test, and there are parts that have been put to practical use before a theoretical elucidation is possible. Also, it has been empirically proved that the transfer of warm human emotions has the effect of promoting the growth of plants.

Conan Doyle, author of the renowned Sherlock Holmes, wrote about the existence of some implicit system over 100 years ago, "I don't believe now, I don't know, I don't know." It is debatable.

Due to such tireless efforts of the predecessors, the relationship between humans and their environment has become an important issue for a long time, and it is widely recognized that humans must coexist with plants. . It has been a long time since forest bathing has become a boom since it has been proved that the components released by plants at night are beneficial to human health, and plants are often placed indoors. However, most of them are Sekinoyama where only potted plants are placed on the windowsill or rental-type houseplants are placed.

[0008] In order to secure a large-scale plant growing area indoors, it is necessary to devise a large atrium and a large window for daylighting. It will have a big impact.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to clarify a structure that enables indoor plant growth without significantly affecting the planning and design of the structure. It is what

[0010]

A structure in consideration of growing plants according to the present invention has an opening arranged in a certain area in the east and west centered on the south side of the structure and close to the opening. Build a pond within a distance and irradiate the plants planted indoors with sunlight reflected from the water surface of this pond directly or through a reflector placed near the opening of the building. The wave structure is arranged, and the reflecting mirror arranged near the opening of the building has a structure in which the tilt angle can be adjusted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a building according to the present invention. A building 10 has a tree 11 in its internal space.
Are planted, and the structure is such that outside light is taken in through the side opening 12. The external light taken in is not only the diffused light reflected by the air, but also the 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 by being reflected by the reflecting mirror 30 disposed under 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 on the summer solstice, it is preferable to set up to 120 degrees.

Further, the pond 20 is wide on the east side and the west side and narrow on the south side in consideration of changes in the azimuth and altitude of the sun depending on the season and the light receiving surface position. This is because the effective use of the site is also taken into consideration, and it goes without saying that the entire width may be the same.

The width of the pond 20 and the distance from the building 10 are
The sun altitude and azimuth at the summer and winter solstices are taken into account.
Since the sun altitude varies depending on the latitude, it needs to be adjusted depending on the land to be constructed. These can be easily calculated by applying the calculation formula of the sun position and the shading curve. The pond 20 is not essential to be a continuous pond as shown in the figure, but it is preferable that independent ponds are arranged close to each other in order to improve the lighting efficiency.

Further, in the structure according to the present invention, the following measures are taken in order to improve the lighting efficiency.

Since a reflected light of sunlight is scattered when a wave is generated on the surface of the pond 20, a wave-dissipating structure is adopted. As shown in FIG. 3, the wave-dissipating structure 21 is composed of a wave-dissipating plate 22 that divides the water surface into a certain area, a pillar 23 and a weight 24 for mounting the wave-dissipating plate 22, and such a wave-dissipating structure is provided. A large number of 21 are arranged in the pond 20.

The width of the wave-eliminating plate 22 is 3 to 10 cm from the water surface.
It is optional provided that there is a certain degree of rising. The area divided by the wave-eliminating plate 22 is from about 100 cm ² to 3.
It is free up to about 3 m ² , but if it is too wide, it will not exhibit the wave-dissipating function. The planar shape formed by the wave-eliminating plate 22 may be circular, elliptical, rectangular, or the like, and a plurality of them may be combined or a picture, a pattern, a pattern, or the like may be formed.

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

The wave-dissipating structure 21 is preferably adjustable in its position in response to changes in the altitude of the sun.

On the contrary, when it is desired to block the reflected light from the pond 20, it is possible to dispose the cover on the wave-eliminating plate as a stand for the wave-eliminating plate rising from the water surface.
The blocking of the reflected light can also be performed by disposing a blind in the opening 12 or by covering the mirror 30.

The wave-dissipating structure 21 described above is preferably constructed using a synthetic resin material which is resistant to corrosion, stainless steel, glass or the like.

Instead of using the pillars 23 and the weights 24, it is also preferable that the wave-eliminating plate 22 has a structure that floats on water.
In such a mode, it is preferable that the wave-eliminating plate 22 is fixed by a fixing rope or the like so as not to be displaced from a predetermined position.

A reflector 30 placed under the eaves of the building 10.
May be a single plane mirror, for example, a width of 5 to 1
It is a structure in which a plate-shaped body having a size of about 0 cm is used, and each plate-shaped body can change the inclination angle. This makes it possible to arbitrarily adjust the angle of incidence of the light reflected from the pond 20 on the indoor side by adjusting the inclination of the reflecting mirror 30 to an angle determined from the relationship with the sun altitude.

Even if the reflecting mirror 30 is a single plane mirror, the angle of reflection can be adjusted by inclining the whole.

Although the reflecting mirror 30 is arranged under the eaves of the building 10 in the illustrated mode, the reflecting light from the pond 20 can be introduced through the opening 12 at any reflecting position. Often, the vicinity of the opening 12 is selected, but it is preferable that it is under the eaves, which is difficult to see in consideration of appearance beauty.

The opening 12 of the building 10 may be a complete opening without a partition or the like, but it is preferably shielded by a transparent material in view of prevention of intrusion of wind and rain and control of indoor temperature. By providing a blind-like reflecting mirror structure in which the upper surface or the upper and lower surfaces can be mirrors, for example, inside the transparent shielding material, it is possible to introduce light into the interior.

More preferably, by arranging a reflecting mirror on the ceiling, wall surface, floor surface, etc. of the indoor space where the tree 11 is planted, it is devised so that the light taken indoors can be sufficiently spread to each part of the tree 11. .

The tree 11 may be directly planted on the soil laid indoors, but more preferably, it has a large potted structure with a truck. By configuring in this way,
It is possible to change the arrangement location from a location closer to the opening 12 to a location farther from the opening 12 and vice versa, and it is possible to eliminate the surface not exposed to sunlight by rotating it regularly.

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

[0031]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the structure in consideration of the growth of plants according to the present invention, the outside light is taken in through the opening on the side surface of the structure, and at the same time, the structure of the pond arranged close to the structure. It is configured to introduce light reflected from the water surface indoors. Since the water surface has a higher reflectance than the ordinary ground surface, sunlight can be efficiently taken into the building. Since the site area for arranging the pond and the sunshine conditions that allow sunlight to enter the pond are the planning and designing conditions, and the building itself is free with regard to plant growth,
It is possible to freely design buildings without the need for an atrium or upper opening as in the past.

The presence of the pond adds a facial expression to the outer area 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. Furthermore, the heat of vaporization by the water stored in the pond can be expected to have a cooling effect by the ambient air or wind in the summer.
