A rectangular frame 8 is provided below the opening 6A, following the shape of the opening 6A. A space surrounded by the skylight 7 and the frame 8 is a window light space 4.

  The light guide device 5 disposed between the sleeping space 2 and the window light space 4 includes a screen 9 and a driving device 10 that drives the screen 9. Among these, the screen 9 is disposed at the opening of the window light space 4 surrounded by the frame body 8, and the driving device 10 is disposed obliquely above the screen 9. The drive device 10 has a built-in timer. If the wake-up time is set in the timer, the drive device 10 starts driving and raises the screen 9 stepwise, for example, 30 minutes before the wake-up time. It has become.

  Both ends of the screen 9 are supported by guide rails (not shown) so as not to hang downward. The screen 9 is rolled up in the direction of the arrow A1 or rewound in the direction of the arrow A2 by the driving device 10. .

  A lighting fixture 3 is provided in the window light space 4. A reflective member made of a material having a high reflectance or a material having a high reflectance is attached to the inner wall surface of the window light space 4, that is, the inner surface of the frame 8. Thereby, the inside of the optical space 4 can be effectively brightened by sunlight or light from the lighting fixture 3. Furthermore, a blind 11 is provided below the skylight 7 in order to efficiently take sunlight into the window light space 4.

  The luminaire 3 is auxiliary illumination with an illuminance sensor, and is used when waking up before dawn, such as in winter. That is, since the sun rises late in winter, if the timer is set in advance so that the luminaire 3 operates in accordance with the wake-up time (for example, 30 minutes before the wake-up time), even before dawn The interior of the window light space 4 can be brightened by the lighting fixture 3. The lighting fixture 3 is not an essential component and may be omitted when not used.

  When there is a window in the sleeping space 2, it is necessary to provide a shutter, a highly light-shielding curtain, or the like on the window.

  Next, the operation of the room 1 with the light amount adjustment function according to the present embodiment will be described.

  First, the case where the dawn is early in summer or the like and the lighting apparatus 3 is not used will be described. The operation procedure at this time is shown in FIG. The sleeper sets the wake-up time in advance in a timer built in the driving device 10 before going to bed (step S11). It is assumed that the sleeper is sleeping on the bed 12 (see FIG. 2), and the screen 9 is lowered to the lowest side. Sunlight is incident on the window light space 4 via the skylight 7 (see FIG. 1), and the window light space 4 is sufficiently bright.

  At 30 minutes before the set-up time, as shown in FIG. 2A, the driving device 10 is activated and the screen 9 is raised by 10% (step S12). At this time, the light in the window light space 4 enters the sleeping space 2 from the lower side of the screen 9, but the screen 9 only rises by 10%, that is, the transmittance is 10%. The inside is still not so bright.

  When 10 minutes before the set-up time, as shown in FIG. 2B, the driving device 10 is activated again and raises the screen 9 by 80% (step S13). When the screen 9 is raised by 80%, the transmittance of light incident on the sleeping space 2 from the window light space 4 becomes 80%, and the sleeping space 2 becomes considerably brighter.

  When it is 0 minutes before the wake-up setting time (that is, the wake-up time), as shown in FIG. When the screen 9 is raised by 100%, the transmittance of light incident on the sleeping space 2 from the window light space 4 becomes 100%, and the sleeping space 2 becomes very bright.

  Next, the case where the dawn is late in winter or the like and the lighting apparatus 3 is used together will be described. The operation procedure at this time is shown in FIG. The sleeper sets the wake-up time in advance in a timer built in the driving device 10 before going to bed (step S21).

  When it is 30 minutes before the set-up time (step S22), the illumination sensor built in the lighting fixture 3 detects the illuminance in the window light space 4. Then, it is determined whether or not the illuminance in the window light space 4 is 100 lx (lux) or less (step S23). If it is 100 lx (lux) or less, the luminaire 3 is turned on (step S24) and the window light is turned on. After the space 4 has an illuminance greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S25. When the illuminance in the window light space 4 exceeds 100 lx (lux), the lighting apparatus 3 is not turned on and the process proceeds to step S25.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 2A, the driving device 10 is activated to raise the screen 9 by 10% (step S25). At this time, the light in the window light space 4 enters the sleeping space 2 from the lower side of the screen 9, but the screen 9 only rises by 10%, that is, the transmittance is 10%. The inside is still not so bright.

  When 10 minutes before the wake-up setting time, as shown in FIG. 2B, the driving device 10 is activated again to raise the screen 9 by 80% (step S26). When the screen 9 is raised by 80%, the transmittance of light incident on the sleeping space 2 from the window light space 4 becomes 80%, and the sleeping space 2 becomes considerably brighter.

  When it is 0 minutes before the wake-up setting time (that is, the wake-up time), as shown in FIG. 2C, the drive device 10 is activated again, and the screen 9 is raised 100% (step S27). When the screen 9 is raised by 100%, the transmittance of light incident on the sleeping space 2 from the window light space 4 becomes 100%, and the sleeping space 2 becomes very bright.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the illuminance in the sleeping space 2 can be increased by raising the screen 9 stepwise in accordance with the bedtime of the sleeping person whether or not the lighting apparatus 3 is used together. Is increased step by step, and the sleeper can obtain a comfortable sleep. In particular, by taking sunlight into the sleeping space 2, it is possible to increase the awakening level of a person who has gone to bed. In general, it is known that an illuminance of 200 lx (lux) or more is preferable in the vicinity of a sleeping person's face (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-318670) in order to increase the arousal level. Illuminance can be realized.

  Moreover, since the lighting fixture 3 is not turned on when sunlight can be taken in, the electricity bill can be saved accordingly.

  In addition, since it is only necessary to provide the driving device 10 for controlling the screen 9 as the control mechanism, it is possible to realize a living room with a light quantity adjustment function with a simple configuration.

  Furthermore, since the skylight 7 is provided on the inclined roof 6, sunlight can be effectively taken into the window light space 4.

  Further, as the light guide device 5, instead of the screen 9 and the drive device 10, a blind and a drive device that changes the angle of the blind may be used.
