It is widely known to provide a movable light shielding body such as a light shutter and to adjust the amount of light coming in from the roof panel by changing the covered area of the light shielding body. In a sunroom roof equipped with such a lighting control device, dust and the like accumulate on the roof panel.

When fallen objects such as leaves accumulate, they have a considerable negative effect on the operation of the light shielding body, and also impair the lighting and appearance of the light shielding body, which often requires cleaning. However, cleaning the roof panels is difficult and dangerous because the work is done at an elevated location.Moreover, the roof panels are made of glass.
Since it is made of a material with inferior strength such as resin, it has been impossible for people to stand on it and perform cleaning work.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a lighting adjustment device for a sunroom roof, which has a function of cleaning the roof panel in addition to the function of adjusting the amount of lighting.

That is, the present invention provides at least a pair of guide frames provided on a translucent roof panel of a sunroom, and a light blocking body movably suspended horizontally between the guide frames.

a drive mechanism for reciprocating the light shielding body along the guide frame; a holder; and a strip-like piece supported by the holder, the distal end of which is provided so as to be able to come into contact with the roof panel. The gist of the present invention is a lighting adjustment device for a sunroom roof, which also has a cleaning function, and is characterized by comprising a sliding contact body having a cleaning function.

Hereinafter, nine embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In Figure 1, there is a glass panel on the 1st floor roof.

This sunroom is equipped with a translucent roof panel 2 such as a transparent or translucent resin panel, and a plurality of light shielding bodies 8a, 3b, and 3c are provided on the roof panel 2.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a plurality of guide frames provided on the roof panel 2, which are provided integrally or separately on the rafter 5 that fits and holds the roof panel 2 ft, and are fixed to the guide grooves 6 and 7 of the multi-A step (for example, 2R). The light shielding bodies 3a, 3b, 3 have grooves 8, and both ends thereof are fitted into these guide grooves and fixing grooves, respectively.
c is suspended horizontally.

The light shielding body may be composed of a single sheet as a whole, and therefore,
At least one pair of guide frames is sufficient.

Further, a light shielding panel structure or a shutter structure may be used.

Wheels 9 are rotatably provided at both ends of the light shields 3m and 3b located in the guide grooves 6 and 7, so that the wheels 9 roll within the guide grooves 6 and 7 to guide the light shields 3m and 3b. It is configured. The light shield aca located at fixed W#8 is fixed between the guide frames 4, 4. 10, 11, 12.
13 and 14 are locking flange provided on each light shielding body. 15 A drive mechanism for reciprocating the light shielding body along the guide frame, and the drive mechanism 15 includes a motor 16 and a motor 1.
and a rotary drive shaft 17 connected to the rotary shaft of No. 6.

A plurality of pulleys 18 are mounted on the rotary drive shaft 17 at predetermined intervals, and one end is connected to the pulley 18 and the other end is connected to the light shielding body 3a, for example, made of metal. It is composed of a plurality of winding bands 19.

A holder 20 and a holder 20 are attached to the tip of the light shielding body 3a.
A sliding member 22 is provided which has a strip 21 supported by the roof panel 2 and whose tip end can be brought into contact with the roof panel 2. Sliding body 22
The holder 20 is provided at the tip of the light shield so that it can be replaced, but the holder 20 can be attached to the tip of the light shield in a removable manner (for example, by screwing, etc.), or the strip 21 can be attached to the holder 20. On the other hand, the attachment is provided in a removable manner (for example, by sliding it into the groove of the holder, by resiliently engaging it with the groove of the holder, etc.).

There are cartridge-type and replaceable versions. Holder 2
Examples of the material for the strip 21 include metals, hard resins (for example, hard vinyl chloride resin), and materials for the strip 21 include soft resins (for example, soft vinyl chloride resin) and 2 foamed resins (for example, urethane foam).

Examples include rubber. The holder 20 and the strip 21 may be made of the same material or different materials, and may be separate pieces or integrally molded. The tip of the strip 21 that contacts the roof panel 2 may be sharp, arcuate, or flat.
Therefore, it may be a type that makes line contact with the roof panel or a type that makes surface contact with the roof panel.

When the motor 16 is driven to rotate the rotary drive shaft 17t in a fully closed state by the light shielding body, the pulley 18 rotates together with this, and winds up the band 19. Therefore, the light shielding body 3
A is pulled in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 2 and moves in the same direction.

During the movement, the locking flange 10 of the light shielding body 81 locks with the locking collar 12 of the light shielding body 3b, so both the light shielding bodies 3a and 3b move toward the back of the KA, and when they reach the position shown by the chain line in FIG. , the limit switch 23 is activated and the drive of the motor 16 is stopped.

This and 1! The light shield is fully opened. When the motor 16 is rotated in the opposite direction to the above case.

Since the winding of the band 19 is released, the light shielding bodies 3a and 3
b falls in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 2 under its own weight with the locking collar 12 locked to the locking collar 10.

When the light shield 5bFi reaches the position indicated by the solid line in FIG.
The movement stops because the locking collar 13 locks on the locking collar 14 of the light shielding body 3c, and! Only the light body 3a continues to move and reaches the solid line position in the figure, and the locking collar 10 touches the locking collar 11 of the light shielding body 3b.
At the same time, the limit switch 24 is activated and the drive of the motor 16 is stopped. At this time, the light shielding body becomes fully closed. The light shielding bodies 3m and 3b can be reciprocated and stopped at any position by expanding the reciprocating movement and operating a switch, thereby making it possible to arbitrarily adjust the amount of sunlight.

During the reciprocating movement of the light shielding body described above, the strip 2 of the sliding body 22
1 It moves in the directions A and B together with the light shielding body 3a while in contact with the expanded roof panel 2. Therefore.

During rain or after sprinkling water on the roof panel (this watering work can also be done automatically), the light shielding body can be moved in the directions A and B as described above.

Roof panels can be cleaned.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which the strip of the sliding member can be freely brought into contact with and separated from the roof panel. The strip 21 is rotatably supported by the holder 20, and the strip 21 is provided with a lever 25 for rotating the strip. Therefore, according to this embodiment, when not cleaning, the lever 25 can be lifted and the strip 211 can be rotated to make it out of contact with the roof panel 2, thereby making it possible to prevent wear and tear on the strip as much as possible. can.

Fig. 4 shows an example in which the band-shaped pieces can be brought into contact with each other and moved away from each other by utilizing the weight of rainwater. The holder 20 is an outer box 26
In the outer box, the inner box 28 is supported by the screws 27 and the strip 21 is supported by the bottom of the inner box 28.The inner box 28 is supported by the screws 27. 9 In normal conditions, the strip 21 is biased upward (roof).
When rainwater collects in the inner box 28 during rain, the inner box 28 moves downward against the spring force due to its weight, causing the strip 21 to come into contact with the roof panel (the flannel 2). come into contact with

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the strip automatically comes into contact with the roof panel when it rains, so there is no need to touch the strip each time, and the roof panel can be easily cleaned using rainwater. In addition, since the strip is always in a non-contact state with the B tunnel during non-rainy periods, it is effective in preventing wear and tear on the strip.

Note that the contact and separation mechanism of the strip can also be automated using an electric method or other methods.
