TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention belongs to the technical field of optics, and relates to a uniform lighting device.
BACKGROUND
Research and development of natural light lighting technology in China started in the 1960s and 1970s. After the “Green Lighting” Program has been launched since 1996, the green energy concept of natural light lighting has gradually come into the public view. With continuous in-depth research on the solar lighting technology, people also have an in- depth understanding of the natural light collection and lighting systems. The intensity and angle of direct sunlight throughout a day are different due to different moments in the morning and evening. People can divide the changes in direct sunlight throughout the day into three lighting stages according to different angles between the sun and the ground:
- 1. sunlight in the morning and evening: when the sun rises from the eastern horizon, and when sun is about to set below the horizon in the west, an angle between the sun and the ground into falls within 0°-15°;
- 2. the sunlight in the morning and afternoon: an angle between the sunlight in the morning and evening and the ground falls within 15°-60°, which usually refers to the light from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., and the light from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the afternoon, with relatively stable lighting intensity; and
- 3. the sunlight at noon: also known as the top light, strikes the ground vertically from top to bottom, and a lighting angle of the sunlight at this moment is often affected by the season. At noon in summer, the sunlight basically strikes the ground scene at an angle of 90° vertically, and the ground scene produces very limited projection. While at noon in other seasons, the sunlight shines from top to bottom at a nearly vertical angle, and at noon in winter, the lighting angle of the sunlight is more skewed.
The natural light at the above three lighting stages enters a room at different angles. Traditional daylighting curtains cannot ensure that the natural light at each lighting stage can be evenly scattered into the room, making it difficult to form an all-weather uniform sunshine effect.
