About Rayn 雨水を集めるサンシェード

Raynは、都市部のバルコニーや庭のためにデザインされた、雨水を集めるサンシェードです。このパラソルは容量88リットルの一体型タンクに雨水を蓄えるため、室内からじょうろを運ぶことなく植物に水やりができます。インテリジェントな浄化装置が貯めた水を処理し、オーバーフローシステムが余剰水をパラソルの支柱を通して排出します。耐久性のために金属、木材、防水加工を施したターポリンを使用しています。ノブで日よけを開閉でき、ディスプレイには貯水量が表示されます。この一体化したフォルムは、限られたスペースのバルコニーに適しています。

Production Technology
Rayn uses metal, wood and tarpaulin materials, which naturally match modern outdoor furniture. The materials are waterproofed to ensure the durability of the product. In addition, the 88L large-capacity PE barrel can store more rainwater, and the intelligent water purification device can effectively purify rainwater. We also designed an overflow protection device. When the water tank is full, water will pass through the umbrella tube. device is discharged to the outside.
Design Challenge
During the design and research process of Rayn, the main challenge we faced was how to utilize the parasols in the limited balcony, and at the same time, we needed to make a more reasonable design for the layout of the balcony. In addition, a lot of effort has been put into the material and structural design of umbrella curtains to more effectively carry rainwater to ensure that it is more practical for rainwater collection.
Research
The purpose of Rayn's research is to solve some of the problems encountered by urban residents in their lives, such as limited balcony space and frequent transportation of kettles. By designing a product that integrates sunshade, rainwater collection, and intelligent water purification, it provides users with a Environmentally friendly, practical and innovative solution. We discovered users' needs and problems through in-depth observation and understanding of urban life.
Inspiration
Rayn's design is inspired by the daily life of urban residents and environmental protection concepts. We found that when people water their balcony plants, they need to fill a kettle with water at home and then take it to the balcony, which is a cumbersome process. Therefore, we designed a parasol that can collect rainwater, making watering convenient. Urban balconies have limited space, so we combined rainwater collectors with parasols. Environmental protection is also what people want.
Project Duration
The project will start in Cologne, Germany, in April 2023 and be completed in Cologne, Germany, in October 2023.
Operation Flow
Rayn's user experience and human-computer interaction focus on simplicity and intuitiveness, as well as practicality and convenience. Users can easily open and close the sunshade through the knob, view and use the collected rainwater through the screen, and operate and monitor the smart water purifier. All operations can be done on a simple interface.
