 (基本形態)
 基本形態に係る調光装置1は、図1に示すように、調光部材2と、制御部3と、給電部4とを備えている。
(Basic form)
As shown in FIG. 1, the light control device 1 according to the basic configuration includes a light control member 2, a control unit 3, and a power feeding unit 4.
 調光部材2は、エレクトロクロミズムによって光の波長帯での反射率および透過率の少なくともいずれかが可逆的に変化する。言い換えると、調光部材2は、エレクトロクロミック材料を用いたエレクトロクロミック素子を有しており、給電部4による電圧印加によって、光の波長帯での反射率および透過率の少なくともいずれかが可逆的に変化する。調光部材2としては、例えば調光ガラスまたは調光フィルムなどである。 The light control member 2 reversibly changes at least one of the reflectance and transmittance in the light wavelength band by electrochromism. In other words, the light control member 2 has an electrochromic element using an electrochromic material, and at least one of reflectance and transmittance in the light wavelength band is reversible by voltage application by the power feeding unit 4. To change. As the light control member 2, it is light control glass or a light control film, for example.
 調光部材2に用いられるエレクトロクロミック素子は、反射率または透過率を変えるときだけ電力を消費し、それ以外のときは電力を消費しないという利点がある。また、エレクトロクロミック素子としては、透過型と反射型とがある。 The electrochromic element used for the light control member 2 has an advantage that it consumes power only when the reflectance or transmittance is changed, and does not consume power otherwise. Electrochromic elements include a transmission type and a reflection type.
 本基本形態において、光の波長帯とは、可視光の波長帯と、赤外線の波長帯と、紫外線の波長帯とを含む波長域(周波数帯域)をいう。 In this basic form, the light wavelength band refers to a wavelength band (frequency band) including a visible light wavelength band, an infrared wavelength band, and an ultraviolet wavelength band.
 光の波長帯での透過率が可逆的に変化する調光部材2の一例としては、日射光に対する透過率が可逆的に変化する部材である。 As an example of the light control member 2 whose light transmittance in the wavelength band of light changes reversibly, it is a member whose light transmittance to sunlight changes reversibly.
 また、光の波長帯での透過率が可逆的に変化する調光部材2の他の例としては、可視光を透過させる第1の状態(透過状態)と可視光を遮断する第2の状態(遮断状態)とを有する部材である。 Further, as another example of the light control member 2 in which the transmittance in the wavelength band of light reversibly changes, a first state that transmits visible light (transmission state) and a second state that blocks visible light (Blocking state).
 制御部3は、予め決められた条件に基づいて調光部材2の反射率および透過率の少なくともいずれかを変化させる。制御部3は、給電部4から調光部材2への電圧印加を制御することによって、調光部材2の反射率および透過率の少なくともいずれかを変化させる。 The control unit 3 changes at least one of the reflectance and transmittance of the light control member 2 based on a predetermined condition. The control unit 3 changes at least one of the reflectance and transmittance of the dimming member 2 by controlling voltage application from the power feeding unit 4 to the dimming member 2.
 例えば、調光部材2が透過状態と遮断状態との間で透過率が可逆的に変化する部材である場合、制御部3は、上記条件に基づいて調光部材2の第1の状態と第2の状態とを切り替える。 For example, when the light control member 2 is a member whose transmittance changes reversibly between the transmission state and the blocking state, the control unit 3 determines whether the first state and the first state of the light control member 2 are based on the above conditions. Switch between 2 states.
 給電部4は、例えば商用電源などの電源5からの電力供給によって、調光部材2に適した電圧を調光部材2に印加する。給電部4から調光部材2への給電は、有線による給電であってもよいし、非接触給電であってもよい。 The power feeding unit 4 applies a voltage suitable for the dimming member 2 to the dimming member 2 by supplying power from a power source 5 such as a commercial power source. Power feeding from the power feeding unit 4 to the light control member 2 may be wired power feeding or non-contact power feeding.
 以上説明した本基本形態の調光装置1では、制御部3によって、調光部材2の反射率および透過率の少なくともいずれかを変化させることができる。 In the light control device 1 of this basic form described above, the control unit 3 can change at least one of the reflectance and transmittance of the light control member 2.
 (実施形態1)
 実施形態1では、図2,3に示すように、調光部材2としての調光パネル2aが浴室(バスユニット)71の内面71aに設けられている場合について説明する。なお、基本形態の調光装置1(図1参照)と同様の構成要素については、同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 1)
In the first embodiment, a case will be described in which a light control panel 2a as the light control member 2 is provided on an inner surface 71a of a bathroom (bath unit) 71 as shown in FIGS. In addition, about the component similar to the light modulation apparatus 1 (refer FIG. 1) of a basic form, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.
 従来から、入浴時において、冬場の浴室でのヒートショックが問題となっている。 Conventionally, when taking a bath, heat shock in the bathroom in winter has been a problem.
 そこで、本実施形態では、図3に示すように、調光部材2として浴室71に調光パネル(調光壁)2aが敷設されている。すなわち、本実施形態の調光部材2は、浴室71の内面71aに沿って設けられる調光パネル2aである。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a light control panel (light control wall) 2 a is laid in the bathroom 71 as the light control member 2. That is, the light control member 2 of the present embodiment is a light control panel 2 a provided along the inner surface 71 a of the bathroom 71.
 本実施形態の調光装置1は、図2に示すように、調光部材2としての調光パネル2aと、外付け操作パネル3aと、浴室操作パネル3bとを備えている。 The light control device 1 of this embodiment is provided with the light control panel 2a as the light control member 2, the external operation panel 3a, and the bathroom operation panel 3b, as shown in FIG.
 本実施形態の調光パネル2aは、図3に示すように、浴室71の内面71aに沿って設けられている。調光パネル2aは、浴室71の4面の壁711、天井712(図5参照)および床713(図5参照)の全てに設けられていてもよいし、これらのうちの一部に設けられていてもよい。図2に示す給電部4から調光パネル2aへの給電は、有線による給電であってもよいし、非接触給電であってもよい。 The light control panel 2a of this embodiment is provided along the inner surface 71a of the bathroom 71, as shown in FIG. The light control panel 2a may be provided on all of the four walls 711, the ceiling 712 (see FIG. 5), and the floor 713 (see FIG. 5) of the bathroom 71, or may be provided on a part of them. It may be. The power feeding from the power feeding unit 4 shown in FIG. 2 to the light control panel 2a may be wired power feeding or non-contact power feeding.
 調光パネル2aは、入浴時において、冬の場合に反射率を100%とし、夏の場合に反射率を10%とする。また、入浴以外では、反射率を10%とする。 The light control panel 2a has a reflectance of 100% in the winter and a reflectance of 10% in the summer when bathing. In addition to the bathing, the reflectance is 10%.
 外付け操作パネル3aは、図2に示すように、浴室71外に設置されており、制御部3と、操作部31とを備えている。制御部3は、調光パネル2aの反射率が変化するように、給電部4から調光パネル2aへの電圧印加を制御する。また、外付け操作パネル3aは、種々のモードを切り替える機能、カレンダ(夏季、冬季、中間期)を設定する機能、および、反射率を設定する機能を有している。 As shown in FIG. 2, the external operation panel 3 a is installed outside the bathroom 71 and includes a control unit 3 and an operation unit 31. The control part 3 controls the voltage application from the electric power feeding part 4 to the light control panel 2a so that the reflectance of the light control panel 2a may change. The external operation panel 3a has a function of switching various modes, a function of setting a calendar (summer, winter, and intermediate period), and a function of setting a reflectance.
 浴室操作パネル3bは、浴室71内に設置されており、外付け操作パネル3aと同じ機能を有している。 The bathroom operation panel 3b is installed in the bathroom 71 and has the same function as the external operation panel 3a.
 ところで、調光パネル2aが浴室71の内面71aに設けられていない場合、浴室71内の熱が壁711などによって放熱されるため、冬においては、入浴者の体感温度が下がることがあった。 By the way, when the light control panel 2a is not provided on the inner surface 71a of the bathroom 71, the heat in the bathroom 71 is radiated by the wall 711 or the like, so that the temperature experienced by the bather may decrease in winter.
 これに対して、本実施形態の場合、調光パネル2aの反射率を高くして透過率を低くすることによって、浴室71内の熱(赤外熱)が調光パネル2aで反射するので、浴室71外へ放熱されることを低減でき、その結果、入浴者の体感温度の低下を抑制することができる。 On the other hand, in the case of this embodiment, the heat (infrared heat) in the bathroom 71 is reflected by the light control panel 2a by increasing the reflectance of the light control panel 2a and lowering the transmittance. Heat dissipation to the outside of the bathroom 71 can be reduced, and as a result, a decrease in the bather's perceived temperature can be suppressed.
 一方、夏の場合、調光パネル2aの反射率を低くして透過率を高くすることによって、浴室71内の熱を浴室71外へ放熱させることができるので、暑すぎない程度で入浴を行うことができる。 On the other hand, in the summer, the heat in the bathroom 71 can be dissipated to the outside of the bathroom 71 by lowering the reflectance of the light control panel 2a and increasing the transmittance, so bathing is performed so as not to be too hot. be able to.
 上記より、本実施形態の調光パネル2aは、赤外線の波長帯の反射率および透過率が可逆的に変化するようなエレクトロクロミック材料が用いられている。 As described above, the light control panel 2a of the present embodiment uses an electrochromic material that reversibly changes the reflectance and transmittance in the infrared wavelength band.
 次に、本実施形態に係る調光装置1の動作について図4を用いて説明する。まず、外付け操作パネル3aまたは浴室操作パネル3bのいずれかが風呂の予約の操作を受け付ける(図4のS1,S2)。ステップS1,S2で操作を受け付けると、制御部3の制御によって、調光パネル2aの反射率が100%になる(S3)。その後、ユーザが入浴を行い、浴室71から退出するときに、浴室操作パネル3bの電源がオフになると(S4)、制御部3の制御によって、調光パネル2aの反射率が100%から10%に変化する(S5)。 Next, the operation of the light control device 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, either the external operation panel 3a or the bathroom operation panel 3b accepts a bath reservation operation (S1, S2 in FIG. 4). When the operation is accepted in steps S1 and S2, the reflectance of the light control panel 2a becomes 100% under the control of the control unit 3 (S3). After that, when the user takes a bath and leaves the bathroom 71, when the power of the bathroom operation panel 3b is turned off (S4), the reflectance of the light control panel 2a is 100% to 10% by the control of the control unit 3 (S5).
 次に、調光パネル2aの有無による体感温度(作用温度)の違いについて図5~図7を用いて説明する。ここでは、図5に示すように、浴室71のサイズを、長さ(奥行き)L1=1.6m、幅W1=1.6m、高さH1=2.0mとし、浴槽714のサイズを、長さ(奥行き)L2=1.6m、幅W2=0.8m、高さH2=0.6mとする。なお、浴室71のサイズおよび浴槽714のサイズは一例である。 Next, the difference in the sensible temperature (working temperature) with and without the light control panel 2a will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the size of the bathroom 71 is length (depth) L1 = 1.6 m, width W1 = 1.6 m, height H1 = 2.0 m, and the size of the bathtub 714 is long. The depth (depth) L2 = 1.6 m, the width W2 = 0.8 m, and the height H2 = 0.6 m. The size of the bathroom 71 and the size of the bathtub 714 are examples.
 図6に示すように、壁711、天井712および床713ならびに浴槽714の温度を、冬で10℃、夏で30℃とする。調光パネル2aが設けられた壁711、天井712および床713の温度も、冬で10℃、夏で30℃とする。湯面の温度を、冬で42℃、夏で38℃とし、人(入浴者)の表面の温度を33℃とする。壁711、天井712および床713ならびに浴槽714の反射率を10%とし、湯面の反射率を2%とし、入浴者の表面の反射率を10%とする。調光パネル2aが設けられた壁711、天井712および床713の反射率を、冬で100%、夏で10%とする。 As shown in FIG. 6, the temperature of the wall 711, ceiling 712, floor 713, and bathtub 714 is 10 ° C. in winter and 30 ° C. in summer. The temperature of the wall 711, the ceiling 712, and the floor 713 provided with the light control panel 2a is also set to 10 ° C. in winter and 30 ° C. in summer. The temperature of the hot water surface is 42 ° C. in the winter and 38 ° C. in the summer, and the surface temperature of the person (the bather) is 33 ° C. The reflectance of the wall 711, the ceiling 712, the floor 713 and the bathtub 714 is 10%, the reflectance of the hot water surface is 2%, and the reflectance of the bather's surface is 10%. The reflectance of the wall 711, the ceiling 712, and the floor 713 provided with the light control panel 2a is 100% in winter and 10% in summer.
 調光パネル2aの有無による体感温度の違いは、図7に示されるとおりである。冬の場合、調光パネル2aがない場合よりも、調光パネル2aが設けられた場合のほうが、体感温度が、浴槽714の蓋が閉まっているときで約4℃、浴槽714の蓋が開いているときで約7℃高くなる。つまり、冬の場合、浴槽714の開閉に関係なく、調光パネル2aがない場合よりも、調光パネル2aが設けられた場合のほうが、入浴者の体感温度が高くなっている。また、浴室71の4面に調光パネル2aが設けられた場合よりも、浴室71の全6面に調光パネル2aが設けられた場合のほうが、入浴者の体感温度が高くなっている。 FIG. 7 shows the difference in temperature sensed by the presence or absence of the light control panel 2a. In winter, when the light control panel 2a is provided, when the light control panel 2a is provided, the perceived temperature is about 4 ° C. when the cover of the bathtub 714 is closed, and the cover of the bathtub 714 is opened. The temperature rises by about 7 ° C. That is, in winter, regardless of whether the bathtub 714 is opened or closed, the temperature experienced by the bather is higher when the light control panel 2a is provided than when the light control panel 2a is not provided. In addition, the temperature experienced by the bather is higher when the light control panels 2a are provided on all six surfaces of the bathroom 71 than when the light control panels 2a are provided on the four surfaces of the bathroom 71.
 一方、夏の場合、調光パネル2aの反射率を10%にすれば、調光パネル2aの有無で体感温度はほとんど変わらない。なお、調光パネル2aの反射率を100%にすると、調光パネル2aが設けられた場合の体感温度は、調光パネル2aが設けられていない場合に比べて、若干高くなる。 On the other hand, in the case of summer, if the reflectance of the light control panel 2a is set to 10%, the sensory temperature hardly changes with or without the light control panel 2a. When the reflectance of the light control panel 2a is set to 100%, the sensible temperature when the light control panel 2a is provided is slightly higher than that when the light control panel 2a is not provided.
 以上説明した本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2は、浴室71の内面71aに沿って設けられる調光パネル2aであり、光の波長帯での反射率および透過率が可逆的に変化する。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、冬に調光パネル2aの反射率を高くして透過率を低くすることによって、浴室71内の温度を高くすることができるので、ヒートショックを抑制することができる。すなわち、調光パネル2aが設けられていない場合に比べて、入浴者がヒートショックを受ける可能性を低減させることができる。 In the light control device 1 of this embodiment described above, the light control member 2 is the light control panel 2a provided along the inner surface 71a of the bathroom 71, and the reflectance and transmittance in the light wavelength band are reversible. To change. Thereby, in the light control apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the temperature in the bathroom 71 can be increased by increasing the reflectance of the light control panel 2a and decreasing the transmittance in winter. Can be suppressed. That is, compared with the case where the light control panel 2a is not provided, possibility that a bather will receive a heat shock can be reduced.
 また、本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光パネル2aの反射率を高くすることによって、浴槽714の湯を保温することができる。 Moreover, in the light control apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the hot water of the bathtub 714 can be kept warm by making the reflectance of the light control panel 2a high.
 一方、夏に調光パネル2aの反射率を低くして透過率を高くすることによって、本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光パネル2aが設けられていない場合と同様に、浴室71内から放熱することができるので、浴室71内を快適な温度にすることができる。 On the other hand, by reducing the reflectance of the light control panel 2a and increasing the transmittance in summer, in the light control device 1 of the present embodiment, the interior of the bathroom 71 is the same as when the light control panel 2a is not provided. Since heat can be radiated from the interior, the interior of the bathroom 71 can be brought to a comfortable temperature.

In addition, about the component similar to the light modulation apparatus 1 (refer FIG. 1) of a basic form, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.
 最近、浴室ドアにガラス戸が用いられることがあるが、さまざまな状況を考えるとプライバシーの問題が多い。 Recently, glass doors are sometimes used as bathroom doors, but there are many privacy issues when considering various situations.
 そこで、本実施形態では、浴室71の出入口に設けられた浴室ドア2bを、調光機能を有するドアにし、調光状態を入浴者の好みに応じて切り替えることができる。すなわち、本実施形態の調光部材2は、浴室71の出入口に設けられた浴室ドア2bである。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the bathroom door 2b provided at the entrance / exit of the bathroom 71 can be a door having a dimming function, and the dimming state can be switched according to the preference of the bather. That is, the light control member 2 of this embodiment is a bathroom door 2 b provided at the entrance of the bathroom 71.
 本実施形態の調光装置1は、調光部材2としての浴室ドア2bと、外付け操作パネル3aと、浴室操作パネル3bとを備えている。外付け操作パネル3aには、浴室ドア2bの開閉を検知する開閉センサ61と、洗面所(脱衣所)への出入口のドアの開閉を検知するドアセンサ62とが接続されている。 The light control device 1 of the present embodiment includes a bathroom door 2b as a light control member 2, an external operation panel 3a, and a bathroom operation panel 3b. An open / close sensor 61 that detects the opening / closing of the bathroom door 2b and a door sensor 62 that detects the opening / closing of the door to the bathroom (dressing room) are connected to the external operation panel 3a.
 本実施形態の浴室ドア2bは、図9,10に示すように、浴室71の出入口に設けられている。浴室ドア2bは、調光パネル2aが透光領域の全てに設けられている。図8に示す給電部4から浴室ドア2b(調光パネル2a)への給電は、ドア枠を利用した有線による給電であってもよいし、非接触給電であってもよい。浴室ドア2bは、折りたたみタイプであってもよいし、引き戸タイプであってもよい。 The bathroom door 2b of this embodiment is provided at the entrance of the bathroom 71 as shown in FIGS. As for the bathroom door 2b, the light control panel 2a is provided in all the translucent areas. The power supply from the power supply unit 4 shown in FIG. 8 to the bathroom door 2b (the light control panel 2a) may be a wired power supply using a door frame or a non-contact power supply. The bathroom door 2b may be a folding type or a sliding door type.
 調光パネル2aが設けられた浴室ドア2bは、調光パネル2aの透過率が90%である場合、図9に示すように、調光パネル2aにおいて浴室71の光が透過する。一方、調光パネル2aの透過率が10%である場合、図10に示すように、調光パネル2aにおいて浴室71の光が遮断される。 When the transmittance of the light control panel 2a is 90%, the bathroom door 2b provided with the light control panel 2a transmits light of the bathroom 71 in the light control panel 2a as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the transmittance of the light control panel 2a is 10%, the light in the bathroom 71 is blocked in the light control panel 2a as shown in FIG.
 外付け操作パネル3aは、図8に示すように、浴室71外に設置されており、制御部3と、操作部31とを備えている。制御部3は、浴室ドア2bの調光パネル2aの反射率が変化するように、給電部4から調光パネル2aへの電圧印加を制御する。また、外付け操作パネル3aは、種々のモードを切り替える機能、カレンダ(夏季、冬季、中間期)を設定する機能、および、反射率を設定する機能を有している。さらに、外付け操作パネル3aは、開閉センサ61から浴室ドア2bの開閉についての検知結果を取得し、ドアセンサ62から洗面所のドアの開閉についての検知結果を取得する。 As shown in FIG. 8, the external operation panel 3 a is installed outside the bathroom 71 and includes a control unit 3 and an operation unit 31. The control part 3 controls the voltage application from the electric power feeding part 4 to the light control panel 2a so that the reflectance of the light control panel 2a of the bathroom door 2b may change. The external operation panel 3a has a function of switching various modes, a function of setting a calendar (summer, winter, and intermediate period), and a function of setting a reflectance. Furthermore, the external operation panel 3 a acquires the detection result about the opening / closing of the bathroom door 2 b from the opening / closing sensor 61, and acquires the detection result about the opening / closing of the bathroom door from the door sensor 62.
 浴室操作パネル3bは、浴室71内に設置されており、外付け操作パネル3aと同じ機能を有している。 The bathroom operation panel 3b is installed in the bathroom 71 and has the same function as the external operation panel 3a.
 次に、本実施形態に係る調光装置1の動作について図11を用いて説明する。まず、外付け操作パネル3aが調光選択の操作を受け付ける(図11のS11)。なお、浴室操作パネル3bが調光選択の操作を受け付けてもよい。ステップS11で操作を受け付けると、制御部3の制御によって、調光パネル2aの透過率が90%に変化する(S12)。その後、ユーザが浴室ドア2bを開けると、開閉センサ61が浴室ドア2bの開閉を検知する(S13)。その後、ユーザが入浴を開始する。入浴中に、入浴者以外の他者が洗面所のドアを開けると、ドアセンサ62が洗面所のドアの開閉を検知する(S14)。そうすると、調光パネル2aの透過率は90%から10%になる(S15)。その後、ユーザが浴室71から退出するときに、浴室ドア2bが開閉されると(S16)、調光パネル2aの透過率は10%から90%に変化する(S17)。 Next, the operation of the light control device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the external operation panel 3a accepts a dimming selection operation (S11 in FIG. 11). Note that the bathroom operation panel 3b may accept an operation for dimming selection. When the operation is accepted in step S11, the transmittance of the light control panel 2a is changed to 90% by the control of the control unit 3 (S12). Thereafter, when the user opens the bathroom door 2b, the open / close sensor 61 detects opening / closing of the bathroom door 2b (S13). Thereafter, the user starts bathing. When another person other than the bather opens the bathroom door during bathing, the door sensor 62 detects opening and closing of the bathroom door (S14). Then, the transmittance of the light control panel 2a is changed from 90% to 10% (S15). Thereafter, when the user leaves the bathroom 71 and the bathroom door 2b is opened and closed (S16), the transmittance of the light control panel 2a changes from 10% to 90% (S17).
 以上説明した本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2は、可視光を透過させる第1の状態と可視光を遮断する第2の状態とを有する浴室ドア2bである。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、入浴者の好みに合わせて使用することができたり、入浴者のプライバシーを確保したりすることができる。 In the light control device 1 of the present embodiment described above, the light control member 2 is a bathroom door 2b having a first state that transmits visible light and a second state that blocks visible light. Thereby, in the light modulation apparatus 1 of this embodiment, it can be used according to a bather's liking and a bather's privacy can be ensured.
 また、本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2は、光の波長帯での反射率が可逆的に変化する浴室ドア2bでもある。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、冬に浴室ドア2b(調光パネル2a)の反射率を高くすることによって、浴室71内の温度を高くすることができるので、ヒートショックを抑制することができる。また、本実施形態の調光装置1では、浴室ドア2b(調光パネル2a)の反射率を高くすることによって、浴槽714の湯の保温効果を高めることができる。なお、冬の場合の浴室ドア2b(調光パネル2a)の透過率は例えば10%である。 Moreover, in the light control device 1 of this embodiment, the light control member 2 is also the bathroom door 2b from which the reflectance in the wavelength band of light changes reversibly.

 従来の住戸(建物)においては、窓ガラスから直接日射光が差し込むと、まぶしく、暑く、不快であることが多かった。特に、夏場の西日は強く、不快感が高まる。また、日射光によって内装や家具の劣化を早めることになる。さらに、夏場は非空調時や屋根裏などに熱がこもり、熱負荷が増大するとともに、入室時に不快感が生じる。一方、日射光を遮ると視界が悪くなり、閉鎖的で圧迫した空間になってしまう。 In conventional dwelling units (buildings), sunlight directly from the window glass was often dazzling, hot and uncomfortable. In particular, the summer sun is strong and uncomfortable. In addition, the deterioration of the interior and furniture is accelerated by sunlight. Furthermore, in summer, heat accumulates during non-air-conditioning and in the attic, increasing the heat load and causing discomfort when entering the room. On the other hand, if the sunlight is blocked, the field of view deteriorates, resulting in a closed and compressed space.
 そこで、本実施形態では、図13に示すように、住戸(建物)72の窓ガラス721に着脱可能なエレクトロクロミックフィルム(ECフィルム)2cが取り付けられる。 Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, an attachable / detachable electrochromic film (EC film) 2 c is attached to the window glass 721 of the dwelling unit (building) 72.
 本実施形態の調光装置1は、図12に示すように、調光部材2としてのECフィルム2cと、コントローラ3cと、給電部4とを備えている。また、本実施形態の調光装置1は、人感センサ63と、日射センサ64と、温度センサ65とをさらに備えている。 The light control device 1 of this embodiment includes an EC film 2c as a light control member 2, a controller 3c, and a power feeding unit 4, as shown in FIG.

 次に、本実施形態に係る調光装置1の動作について図16を用いて説明する。まず、人感センサ63が人を検知した場合(図16のS21)、日射センサ64の計測値が一定値未満である場合(S22)、温度センサ65の計測値が一定値未満である場合(S23)、現在時刻がタイマ(タイムスイッチ)の設定時刻になった場合(S24)、制御部3の制御によって、調光部材2(ECフィルム2c、屋根材2d、天窓ガラス2e)の透過率が100%になる(S25)。その後、ユーザがタッチパネルによって機器を操作する(S26)。そして、コントローラ3cのモード切替釦が押下されると(S27)、調光部材2は、色濃淡を変更する(S28)。その後、人感センサ63が人を検知しなくなった場合(S29)、日射センサ64の計測値が一定値を超えた場合(S30)、温度センサ65の計測値が一定値を超えた場合(S31)、制御部3の制御によって、調光パネルの透過率が100%から0%に変化する(S32)。 Next, the operation of the light control device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the human sensor 63 detects a person (S21 in FIG. 16), when the measurement value of the solar radiation sensor 64 is less than a certain value (S22), when the measurement value of the temperature sensor 65 is less than a certain value ( S23) When the current time becomes the set time of the timer (time switch) (S24), the transmittance of the light control member 2 (EC film 2c, roofing material 2d, skylight glass 2e) is controlled by the control unit 3. 100% (S25). Thereafter, the user operates the device with the touch panel (S26). When the mode switching button of the controller 3c is pressed (S27), the light control member 2 changes the color density (S28). Thereafter, when the human sensor 63 no longer detects a person (S29), the measurement value of the solar radiation sensor 64 exceeds a certain value (S30), or the measurement value of the temperature sensor 65 exceeds a certain value (S31). ), The transmittance of the light control panel changes from 100% to 0% under the control of the control unit 3 (S32).
 以上説明した本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2(ECフィルム2c)は、窓ガラス721の外側に設けられ、日射光に対する透過率を可逆的に変化する。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2の透過率を低くするほど、日射熱に対する遮熱効果を高めることができる。室内にブラインドなどが設置される場合に比べて、日射遮熱効果が大きくなる。 In the light control device 1 of the present embodiment described above, the light control member 2 (EC film 2c) is provided outside the window glass 721 and reversibly changes the transmittance with respect to sunlight. Thereby, in the light modulation apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the heat shielding effect with respect to solar radiation heat can be heightened, so that the transmittance | permeability of the light modulation member 2 is made low. Compared to the case where blinds or the like are installed in the room, the solar heat insulation effect is increased.
 また、本実施形態の調光装置1では、最上階(例えば2階建て住宅の場合の2階)での熱ごもりを抑制することができる。 Further, in the light control device 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress heat accumulation on the top floor (for example, the second floor in the case of a two-story house).
 さらに、本実施形態の調光装置1では、遮熱するとともに視界の透明度を調節することができ、調光部材2をレースのカーテンの代替とすることができる。また、日射の向きによって家具に日射光が当たらないように制御することで家具の劣化を減らすことができる。 Furthermore, in the light control device 1 of the present embodiment, heat can be shielded and the transparency of the field of view can be adjusted, and the light control member 2 can be substituted for a lace curtain. Moreover, deterioration of furniture can be reduced by controlling so that sunlight does not hit furniture according to the direction of solar radiation.
 本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2は、日射光に対する透過率が可逆的に変化する屋根材2dである。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、住戸(建物)72内での熱ごもりを抑制することができる。例えば、日中は、季節に応じて入熱量やまぶしさを調節することができる。 In the light control device 1 of the present embodiment, the light control member 2 is a roofing material 2d in which the transmittance with respect to sunlight is reversibly changed. Thereby, in the light modulation apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the heat loss in the dwelling unit (building) 72 can be suppressed. For example, during the day, the amount of heat input and glare can be adjusted according to the season.
 また、本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2は、可視光を透過させる第1の状態と可視光を遮断する第2の状態とを有する屋根材2dでもある。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、夜間に屋根材2dを第1の状態(透過状態)にすることによって、夜空を眺めることができる。すなわち、夜間は屋根材2dを全面透明にすることで開放感のある空間となるとともに、夜景を見ながら就寝することができる。 In the light control device 1 of the present embodiment, the light control member 2 is also a roofing material 2d having a first state that transmits visible light and a second state that blocks visible light. Thereby, in the light modulation apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the night sky can be seen by making the roofing material 2d into the first state (transmission state) at night. That is, by making the roofing material 2d transparent at night, it becomes a space with a feeling of opening, and it is possible to sleep while watching the night view.
 本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2は、天窓ガラス2eであり、日射光に対する透過率が可逆的に変化する。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、天窓ガラス2eの透過率を高くすることによって、ある程度視界を確保して開放感を保ちつつ、まぶしさや日射熱から解放させることができる。本実施形態の調光装置1では、シャッタを閉めるよりも、開放感があり、ロールカーテンよりも熱を遮断することができる。すなわち、不在時には、透過率を0%にしておくことで熱ごもりを解消する。存在時は、省エネ量を確認しながら好みに合わせて調節することができる。シャッタの代替になり、透過率が低い場合でもシャッタの完全閉鎖と比べて開放感を得ることができる。 In the light control device 1 of this embodiment, the light control member 2 is the skylight glass 2e, and the transmittance | permeability with respect to solar radiation changes reversibly. Thereby, in the light modulation apparatus 1 of this embodiment, by making the transmittance | permeability of the skylight glass 2e high, it can be made to release from glare and solar heat, ensuring a certain visual field and maintaining a feeling of opening. In the light control device 1 of this embodiment, there exists a feeling of opening rather than closing a shutter, and heat | fever can be interrupted | blocked rather than a roll curtain. That is, when it is absent, heat transmission is eliminated by setting the transmittance to 0%. When present, it can be adjusted to your liking while checking the energy savings. As an alternative to the shutter, even when the transmittance is low, a feeling of opening can be obtained as compared with the complete closing of the shutter.
 また、本実施形態の調光装置1は、時間が経過するにつれて透過率が高くなるように天窓ガラス2eを制御する。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、起床のタイミングで寝室を徐々に明るくすることができるので、目覚めをよくさせることができる。すなわち、まぶしくて起床時刻前に目が覚める問題に対し、希望の時刻に合わせて徐々に明るくなることでより自然な目覚めができる。 Moreover, the light control device 1 of this embodiment controls the skylight glass 2e so that the transmittance increases as time elapses. Thereby, in the light modulation apparatus 1 of this embodiment, since a bedroom can be gradually brightened at the timing of waking up, it can improve awakening. In other words, the problem of being dazzled and waking up before the wake-up time can be awakened more naturally by gradually becoming brighter at the desired time.
 なお、調光部材2は、図17,18に示すように、ショーウインドウなどに小型のエレクトロクロミックガラス(小型ECガラス)を組み合わせた表示パネル2fに用いられてもよい。 In addition, the light control member 2 may be used for the display panel 2f which combined small electrochromic glass (small EC glass) with the show window etc., as shown in FIG.
 小型ECガラスは、例えば3cm×3cmの部材であり、小型ECガラスを複数繋げて大きなパネルとする。 Small EC glass is, for example, a member of 3 cm × 3 cm, and a plurality of small EC glasses are connected to form a large panel.
 遮熱・遮光したい場合、表示パネル2fは、図17に示すように、透効率の高い小型ECガラス(図17の白い部分)よりも透効率の低い小型ECガラス(図17の黒い部分)の数が多くなるような表示となる。一方、採熱・採光したい場合、表示パネル2fは、図18に示すように、透過率の低い小型ECガラス(図18の黒い部分)よりも透過率の高い小型ECガラス(図18の白い部分)の数が多くなるような表示となる。 As shown in FIG. 17, the display panel 2f is made of a small EC glass (black portion in FIG. 17) having a lower transmission efficiency than the small EC glass (white portion in FIG. 17) having a high transmission efficiency. The display is such that the number increases. On the other hand, when heat collection / lighting is desired, as shown in FIG. 18, the display panel 2f has a small EC glass (white portion in FIG. 18) having a higher transmittance than the small EC glass (black portion in FIG. 18) having a low transmittance. ) Is displayed in a large number.
 図17,18のような表示パネル2fの場合、日射の向き(時刻)によって表示パネル2fの制御パターンを変えることで、光や熱の進入を防止することができ、かつ、広告やイラストとして活用することができる。 In the case of the display panel 2f as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, by changing the control pattern of the display panel 2f depending on the direction of solar radiation (time), the entry of light and heat can be prevented, and it can be used as an advertisement or an illustration. can do.
 また、例えば複数の小さなECガラスで大きなモザイク調にすることによって、デザイン性を持たせることができ、色むらが気にならなくなる。 Also, for example, by making a large mosaic with a plurality of small EC glasses, it is possible to have a design, and color unevenness does not matter.
 なお、調光部材2は、建物ではなく、車に設けられてもよい。例えばフロントウインドウやサイドウインドウ、バックウインドウに調光部材2としてのECガラスが用いられる。 In addition, the light control member 2 may be provided not in a building but in a car. For example, EC glass as the light control member 2 is used for a front window, a side window, and a back window.
 この場合、不在時に調光部材2の透過率を下げておくことによって、乗車時の熱ごもりを抑制することができる。また、運転時に調光部材2の透過率を調整することによって、視界を遮ることなく、まぶしさを回避することができる。 In this case, by reducing the transmittance of the dimming member 2 when it is absent, it is possible to suppress the heat trap when riding. Further, by adjusting the transmittance of the light control member 2 during operation, glare can be avoided without blocking the view.
 さらに、駐車時に調光部材2の透過率を下げておくことによって、車外から車内を見ることができないので、盗難を防止することができる。 Furthermore, by reducing the transmittance of the light control member 2 during parking, the inside of the vehicle cannot be seen from outside the vehicle, so that theft can be prevented.

 調光パネル壁2gは、周囲の壁731の色に合わせて色の変更が可能である。なお、壁731全体に複数の調光パネル壁2gを設置すれば、モザイク柄(各調光パネル壁2gの調光)の模様替えも可能である。 The light control panel wall 2g can be changed in color according to the color of the surrounding wall 731. If a plurality of light control panel walls 2g are installed on the entire wall 731, the mosaic pattern (light control of each light control panel wall 2g) can be changed.
 本実施形態では、通常時は、調光パネル壁2gの透過率を低くし、図20に示すように周囲の壁731と同化し、テレビ732や風呂操作パネル733、ドアホン734が見えないようにする。一方、テレビ732や風呂操作パネル733、ドアホン734を使用したい場合、調光パネル壁2gの透過率を高くし、図21に示すように、テレビ732や風呂操作パネル733、ドアホン734が見えるようにする。 In this embodiment, normally, the transmittance of the light control panel wall 2g is lowered, and assimilated with the surrounding wall 731 as shown in FIG. 20, so that the television 732, the bath operation panel 733, and the door phone 734 cannot be seen.

 従来の冷蔵庫では、冷蔵庫の中身は扉を開けないと確認することができなかった。一方、冷蔵庫の中身を確認するために扉を開けると、消費電力の無駄が生じていた。 In conventional refrigerators, the contents of the refrigerator could not be confirmed without opening the door. On the other hand, if the door is opened to check the contents of the refrigerator, power consumption is wasted.
 そこで、本変形例では、冷蔵庫74の一部の扉2hをECガラスに変更する。普段は、扉2hの透過率10%で用いられている。冷蔵庫74の中身を確認したいときだけ、扉2hの透過率100%で使用する。 Therefore, in this modification, a part of the door 2h of the refrigerator 74 is changed to EC glass. Usually, the door 2h has a transmittance of 10%. Only when it is desired to check the contents of the refrigerator 74, the door 2h is used with a transmittance of 100%.

 従来のクローゼットでは、ユーザは、朝起きた際に、寝ながらにしてクローゼットの中の服を見ることができなかった。 In the conventional closet, when the user wakes up in the morning, the user cannot see the clothes in the closet while sleeping.
 そこで、本変形例では、目覚まし時計と連動して扉2iの透過率を高くすることによって、ユーザは、朝起きると、クローゼット75の中が見える。回転させるとベッドから洋服が見える。 Therefore, in this modified example, the inside of the closet 75 is visible when the user gets up in the morning by increasing the transmittance of the door 2i in conjunction with the alarm clock. Rotate to see clothes from bed.
 本変形例では、クローゼット75の扉2iが調光ガラスである。通常時は、扉2iの透過率を低くし、図25に示すように、クローゼット75の中が見えないようにする。一方、クローゼット75の中を見たい場合、扉2iの透過率を高くし、図26に示すように、クローゼット75の中が見えるようにする。 In this modification, the door 2i of the closet 75 is light control glass. During normal times, the transmittance of the door 2i is lowered so that the inside of the closet 75 cannot be seen as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the inside of the closet 75 is desired, the transmittance of the door 2i is increased so that the inside of the closet 75 can be seen as shown in FIG.
 本変形例の調光装置1では、調光部材2は、クローゼット75の扉2iであり、可視光を透過させる第1の状態と可視光を遮断する第2の状態とを有する。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、服を魅せるクローゼットと服を仕舞うクローゼットとを両立させることができる。例えば、朝の時間帯において時間節約と選ぶ楽しみとを両立させることができる。すなわち、朝目覚めた際に、寝ながらにしてクローゼット75の中を見ることができ、服を楽しく選ぶことができる。特に、ワーキングウーマンに適している。 In the light control device 1 of this modification, the light control member 2 is the door 2i of the closet 75, and has a first state that transmits visible light and a second state that blocks visible light. Thereby, in the light modulation apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the closet which charms clothes and the closet which finishes clothes can be made to make compatible. For example, time saving and enjoyment can be made compatible in the morning time zone. That is, when waking up in the morning, the user can look inside the closet 75 while sleeping, and can choose clothes happily. Especially suitable for working women.

If the surroundings are a concern during a meeting, the surrounding partition member 2j may be in a state that blocks visible light (second state) as in the small space 761. On the other hand, when the surroundings are not concerned or when the meeting is not being performed, the surrounding partition members 2j may be in a state (first state) that allows visible light to pass therethrough as in the small spaces 762 to 765. Note that light is always transmitted through the outer window 766 of the space 76. On the other hand, light is always blocked at the wall 767 without a window.
 以上説明した本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2は、間仕切り部材2jであり、可視光を透過させる第1の状態と可視光を遮断する第2の状態とを有する。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、セキュリティ、プライバシー、情報伝達効率化、移動時間削減、オフィスの生産性向上を両立させることができる。すなわち、本実施形態の調光装置1によれば、オフィスワーカーの都合とオフィス管理マネジャーの双方の要求に対して、最適化の設定が可能である。 In the light control device 1 of the present embodiment described above, the light control member 2 is a partition member 2j and has a first state that transmits visible light and a second state that blocks visible light.

In addition, about the component similar to the light modulation apparatus 1 (refer FIG. 1) of a basic form, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.
 農業用ハウスで農作物の栽培において、二毛作や促成栽培など時期をずらして栽培する際に、人工的に光や熱のエネルギーを投入する必要がある。そして、農業用ハウスは、日射光を取り入れるために、半透明で断熱性が低く、その結果、暖かく保つための電気代がかかる。 When cultivating crops in agricultural houses at different times such as double cropping or forcing cultivation, it is necessary to artificially input light and heat energy. And since the agricultural house takes in sunlight, it is semi-transparent and has low heat insulation, and as a result, it costs electricity to keep it warm.
 そこで、本実施形態では、図29,30に示すように、農業用ハウス77の周囲を調光パネル2kで覆っている。すなわち、本実施形態の調光部材2は、農業用ハウス77に用いられる調光パネル2kである。調光パネル2kは、例えばエレクトロクロミックガラス(ECガラス)からなる。調光パネル2kの透過率は、日射のある時間帯では100%とし、夜など日射のない時間帯では0%(反射率100%)とし、農業用ハウス77の中(農業用ハウス77の内側)で照明を反射させる。 Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the periphery of the agricultural house 77 is covered with the light control panel 2 k. That is, the light control member 2 of this embodiment is the light control panel 2k used for the agricultural house 77. FIG. The light control panel 2k is made of, for example, electrochromic glass (EC glass). The transmittance of the light control panel 2k is 100% in the time zone with solar radiation, and 0% (reflectance 100%) in the time zone without solar radiation such as night, and the inside of the agricultural house 77 (inside the agricultural house 77) ) To reflect the light.
 本実施形態の調光装置1は、図28に示すように、調光部材2としての調光パネル2kと、コントローラ3eと、日射センサ64と、温度センサ65と、照度センサ66とを備えている。農業用ハウス77には、ヒータ771と、LED772と、太陽電池5bとが設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 28, the light control device 1 of the present embodiment includes a light control panel 2k as the light control member 2, a controller 3e, a solar radiation sensor 64, a temperature sensor 65, and an illuminance sensor 66. Yes. The agricultural house 77 is provided with a heater 771, an LED 772, and a solar battery 5b.
 コントローラ3eは、最もエネルギー使用量が減るように調光パネル2kの濃淡制御、ヒータ771の制御、LED772の制御を行うために、種々のモードを切り替えるモード切替機能を有している。また、コントローラ3eは、タイマ設定を行うこともできる。さらに、コントローラ3eは、省エネ計算ソフトを用いて、エネルギー計算を行う。 The controller 3e has a mode switching function for switching various modes in order to perform light / dark control of the light control panel 2k, control of the heater 771, and control of the LED 772 so that the amount of energy used is reduced most. The controller 3e can also set a timer. Furthermore, the controller 3e performs energy calculation using energy saving calculation software.
 次に、本実施形態に係る調光装置1の動作について図31を用いて説明する。まず、コントローラ3eは、日射センサ64から日射量を取得し(図31のS61)、照度センサ66から照度を取得し(S62)、温度センサ65から温度を取得する(S63)。そして、コントローラ3eは、省エネ最適化計算をする。タイマ(図示せず)での設定時間になると(S64)、コントローラ3eは、省エネ最適化計算の結果に基づいて、調光パネル2kの透過率を変更し、ヒータ771の出力およびLED772の照度を変更する(S65)。そして、コントローラ3eのモード切替釦が押下されると(S66)、調光パネル2kは色濃淡を変更し、ヒータ771は出力を変更し、LED772は照度を変更する(S67)。 Next, the operation of the light control device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the controller 3e acquires the amount of solar radiation from the solar radiation sensor 64 (S61 in FIG. 31), acquires the illuminance from the illuminance sensor 66 (S62), and acquires the temperature from the temperature sensor 65 (S63). Then, the controller 3e performs energy saving optimization calculation. When the set time of the timer (not shown) is reached (S64), the controller 3e changes the transmittance of the light control panel 2k based on the result of the energy saving optimization calculation, and changes the output of the heater 771 and the illuminance of the LED 772. Change (S65). When the mode switching button of the controller 3e is pressed (S66), the light control panel 2k changes the color density, the heater 771 changes the output, and the LED 772 changes the illuminance (S67).
 以上説明した本実施形態の調光装置1では、調光部材2は、農業用ハウス77に用いられ、日射光に対する透過率が可逆的に変化する。これにより、本実施形態の調光装置1では、日中と夜間とで調光部材2の透過率を変化させることによって、農業用ハウス77内を一定照度かつ一定温度に保つための負荷を低減させることができる。 In the light control device 1 of the present embodiment described above, the light control member 2 is used in the agricultural house 77, and the transmittance for sunlight is reversibly changed. Thereby, in the light modulation apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the load for maintaining the inside of the agricultural house 77 at constant illuminance and constant temperature is reduced by changing the transmittance of the light control member 2 between daytime and nighttime. Can be made.
 すなわち、本実施形態の調光装置1によれば、日射時では、調光パネル2kの透過率を高くして、太陽光を利用することによって、照明エネルギーを減らすことができる。一方、非日射時では、調光パネル2kの内部側の反射率を高めることによって、輻射温を高めて熱エネルギーを減らすとともに、光合成する波長を内部で反射させて光エネルギーを減らすことができ、省電力となる。また、最も省エネとなるように、調光部材2(調光パネル2k)、ヒータ771およびLED772を制御することができる。 That is, according to the light control device 1 of the present embodiment, during solar radiation, the illumination energy can be reduced by increasing the transmittance of the light control panel 2k and using sunlight. On the other hand, at the time of non-sunlight, by increasing the reflectance on the inner side of the light control panel 2k, it is possible to reduce the heat energy by increasing the radiation temperature and reflecting the wavelength of photosynthesis internally, Power saving. Further, the light control member 2 (light control panel 2k), the heater 771, and the LED 772 can be controlled so as to save energy most.
 さらに、本実施形態では、太陽電池5bで独立電源を確保することができるので、商用電源から配線してくる必要がない。 Furthermore, in this embodiment, since an independent power source can be secured by the solar cell 5b, there is no need to wire from a commercial power source.
