In other cases, a transparent feeling is obtained.

以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照して、詳細に説明する。図１ないし図３は本発明に係る浴室ドアの一実施例を示すものである。図1は浴室１での配置を示し該浴室１は浴槽１１と洗い場１２とからなっている。洗い場１２には照明１３、鏡１４、カラン１５が配されている。洗い場１２と脱衣室２とは浴室ドア３で仕切られている。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of a bathroom door according to the present invention. FIG. 1 shows an arrangement in the bathroom 1, which is composed of a bathtub 11 and a washing area 12. The washing area 12 is provided with an illumination 13, a mirror 14, and a currant 15. The washing area 12 and the dressing room 2 are partitioned by a bathroom door 3.

図２は浴室ドア３の遮光時の状態をを示すもので、開放感を得るために透明面材３１、多くの場合、浴室ドア３のドア枠材３３を除いて導光性の高い透明プラスチックが張られている。浴室ドア３は全面が透明面材３１の場合もあるが、浴室ドア３に窓部を設け、窓部にのみ透明面材３１が設けられている場合であっても良い。浴室ドア３としては図２にあるようなドアノブ３４のある開きドア、両面引き違いドア、片面引きドア、あるいは折畳みドアなどいずれも使用でき、特に限定されるものでない。浴室ドア３は通電しない時は透明であるが、浴室１に設けた遮光スイッチ１６（図１参照）を入れ電源ボックス１９から超高輝度ＬＥＤ４に通電することにより瞬時に超高輝度ＬＥＤ４が発光し、透明面材３１に導光することで浴室ドア３の透明面材３１が遮光される。 FIG. 2 shows a state when the bathroom door 3 is shielded from light. A transparent plastic material 31 having a high light guide property except for the transparent surface material 31 and, in many cases, the door frame material 33 of the bathroom door 3, is provided to obtain a feeling of opening. Is stretched. The bathroom door 3 may be entirely made of a transparent surface material 31, but the bathroom door 3 may be provided with a window, and the transparent surface material 31 may be provided only on the window. As the bathroom door 3, any of an opening door with a door knob 34, a double-sided sliding door, a single-sided sliding door, or a folding door as shown in FIG. 2 can be used and is not particularly limited. The bathroom door 3 is transparent when not energized, but when the light-shielding switch 16 (see FIG. 1) provided in the bathroom 1 is turned on and the ultra-high brightness LED 4 is energized from the power box 19, the ultra-high brightness LED 4 instantly emits light. By guiding light to the transparent surface material 31, the transparent surface material 31 of the bathroom door 3 is shielded from light.

一方人感センサー１８は脱衣室２の天井面に設けられ人を感知することができる。人感センサー１８が人を感知すると電源ボックス１９から超高輝度ＬＥＤ４に通電され、浴室ドア３の透明面材３１が瞬時に遮光される。遮光は人感センサー１８が感知している間だけであり、感知しなくなると電流は遮断され元の状態に戻る。 On the other hand, the human sensor 18 is provided on the ceiling surface of the dressing room 2 and can sense a person. When the human sensor 18 detects a person, the super bright LED 4 is energized from the power supply box 19 and the transparent surface material 31 of the bathroom door 3 is instantaneously shielded from light. The shading is only performed while the human sensor 18 senses the current, and when it is no longer sensed, the current is cut off and the original state is restored.

浴室ドア３は、図３にあるように浴室ドア３の透明面材３１の内部空間にＬＥＤユニット３２が組み込まれており、その構成は所定間隔をおいて配された二枚の透明面材３１の間に一定間隔毎に超高輝度ＬＥＤ４が配されている。そしてＬＥＤユニット３２に通電することで超高輝度ＬＥＤ４が発光し、該光が透明面材３１に導光され浴室ドア３が遮光されるものである。 As shown in FIG. 3, the bathroom door 3 has an LED unit 32 incorporated in the internal space of the transparent surface material 31 of the bathroom door 3, and the configuration thereof is two transparent surface materials 31 arranged at a predetermined interval. In between, ultra-high brightness LEDs 4 are arranged at regular intervals. Then, when the LED unit 32 is energized, the super-bright LED 4 emits light, the light is guided to the transparent surface material 31, and the bathroom door 3 is shielded.

超高輝度ＬＥＤ４は低消費電力であるので両面引き違いドアのような広面積の場合も使用電力は少なく、通電により瞬時に発光し頻繁な電源の入り切りでも寿命に影響しない特性があるが、水に敏感なので浴室ドア３において透明面材３１の二重構造の内部空間に組み込むことでドア枠材３３と合わせて防水性を高めることができる。 The ultra-bright LED 4 has low power consumption, so it consumes little power even in a large area such as a double-sided door, and it emits light instantly when energized and does not affect the life even when the power is turned on and off frequently. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the waterproof property together with the door frame member 33 by incorporating it in the internal space of the double structure of the transparent surface member 31 in the bathroom door 3.

本発明の浴室ドア３はこのようなものであるから、入浴時透明な状況が嫌な人は浴室内の遮光スイッチ１６をＯＮにする。そうすると、超高輝度ＬＥＤ４が発光することにより該光が透明面材３１に導光され、その結果脱衣室２から浴室１内は見通すことができないものとなる。一方開放感を好むが脱衣室２に他人が入って来た時だけ遮光したい場合は、センサースイッチ１７をＯＮにしておけば、脱衣室２に人が入ってきた場合には人感センサー１８が感知しＬＥＤユニット３２に通電し、瞬時に超高輝度ＬＥＤ４が発光し透明面材３１に導光され透明面材３１を遮光する。このように入浴する人の好みに応じて透明面材３１の遮光をＯＮ、ＯＦＦできるので裸体を見られるのが嫌なために、脱衣室２や浴室１に鍵を掛ける必要がないので緊急時にも対応が可能なものである。 Since the bathroom door 3 of the present invention is such, a person who does not like a transparent situation when taking a bath turns on the shading switch 16 in the bathroom. If it does so, this light will be light-guided by the transparent surface material 31 by light-emission, and as a result, the inside of the bathroom 1 cannot be seen from the dressing room 2. On the other hand, if you prefer a feeling of opening but want to shield the light only when someone else enters the dressing room 2, you can turn on the sensor switch 17 and if the person enters the dressing room 2, the motion sensor 18 The LED unit 32 is sensed and the LED unit 32 is energized, and the super-bright LED 4 instantaneously emits light and is guided to the transparent surface material 31 to shield the transparent surface material 31. In this way, since the shading of the transparent surface 31 can be turned on and off according to the preference of the person taking a bath, it is not necessary to lock the dressing room 2 or the bathroom 1 in the event of an emergency because it is unpleasant to see the naked body. Is also possible.
