PIEZO SENSOR AS A LIGHT CONTROL ELEMENT FOR CREATING A CHILDREN'S ROOM DESIGN

Abstract

Purpose. Substantiation and creation of automatic lighting control in interactive rooms using piezoelectric converters. The introduction of this technology will significantly reduce energy consumption during the operation of such premises. The addition of further technological solutions based on the use of phosphor coatings and ultraviolet lighting will create a full range of innovative methods of child interaction in the social space.

Methodology. The combination of piezo sensors with design elements such as "live" tiles as a trigger mechanism will create the necessary connection between the physical activity of the child and the regulation of light. The modern level of development and complete safety of materials such as phosphors in combination with specially designed point light sources will make it possible to create additional lighting and a field for the imagination of the child. Since the main attention when lighting children's rooms should be directed to the safe stay of the child, the use of light sources under a translucent floor will solve safety issues with a low level of energy consumption.

Findings. An experimental study of the methods has proven the feasibility of using the proposed elements for any interactive children's room. The low cost of both equipment and the energy efficiency of all the technologies used is a significant advantage of this project over other developments with a large use of digital gadgets. The ability of create light of different spectral composition and color temperature is analyzed by using color filters and special light sources.

Originality. The technologies and techniques presented in this work will be used for the first time to create interactive activities for a child. Separately, each technological solution was applied individually. This project combines separate developments to create a single interactive and light space. A low level of electricity consumption is achieved by using specially designed piezoelectric elements. Replacing standard ceiling lighting with lower (floor) lighting allows you to achieve the desired illumination using luminaires of lower power.

Practical value. Recently, it has been proven that digitalization has a negative impact on the emotional state of the child and the only solution to replace it is to switch the child's attention to other more physically active actions. The proposed solutions in the work will allow their to be involved in group trainings. At the same time, the power consumption for obtaining such rooms will be much lower than the rest of the existing ones. The simplicity of the equipment and the possibility of variation during the operation of the premises make it available for creation in any institution of education, medicine, sports, etc.
