Abstract

Hospital lighting is an essential embodiment of hospital modernization. With the increasingly significant role of the medical environment in the medical process, both the lighting requirements of various treatments in the hospital and the response of patients to the lighting environment should be considered in the design. Avoid the discomfort and disgust of patients caused by improper lighting layout or illumination selection. To meet the physiological and psychological needs of patients and medical personnel, the light environment of medical buildings is no longer limited to meeting the requirements of illumination. Still, it focuses on strengthening its comfort and creating a harmonious and comfortable medical environment as well as possible. Starting from the lighting design of health treatments in medical centers and aiming at the light environment regulation requirements of medical buildings based on power carrier technology (PLCC), a lighting control system with easy implementation and simple operation is developed in this paper.

Introduction

The effective use of medical lighting control systems not only plays a positive role in the health of medical staff but also helps to achieve the effect of diagnosis and treatment, patient rehabilitation, and the improvement of doctor-patient relationships. At the same time, it is also conducive to hospital operation management and cost control (Chen et al., 2021). The medical lighting control systemmedical lighting control system design should meet the functional requirements and use purposes. Practicioners should not only consider the impact of lighting environment on people, reasonably designed illumination, color temperature, color rendering, and glare control, but also consider the energy consumption specification of lighting and effectively configure lighting lamps and control methods (Yu et al., 2017). Natural lighting and artificial lighting can improve patients' comfort and are essential factors in improving the safety and efficiency of medical facilities. Relaxing in the environment and receiving good natural or artificial light will help improve people's health and resistance and help them recover from diseases faster (Xu et al., 2019). By ensuring sufficient lighting for safe passage in the building, high-quality lighting in diagnosis, sufficient lighting for treatment and rehabilitation areas, and comfortable lighting in wards and lounges, the psychological pressure of patients can be alleviated to the greatest extent, errors can be reduced, and the quality of life and working conditions of patients and employees can be improved (Tian et al., 2019). In addition, by designing lamps that are easy to maintain and clean, practicioners can reduce energy consumption and control disease infection (Wang & Li, 2021). The medical lighting control system is crucial for hospital construction and management. However, in hospital construction and actual operation, the attention to medical lighting control systems is still relatively low. The first reason is that the hospital construction side has less research on hospital lighting and lacks in-depth understanding of the role of lighting; secondly, there is a lack of understanding of the requirements of hospital lighting in the field of lighting engineering, and there is a lack of reasonable and effective lighting control systems.

The lighting control system of health treatment in medical centers can save energy and improve the comfort of doctors and patients. This problem can be solved by using power line carrier communication technology. The cost of power line carrier communication infrastructure is low, so it has broad practicability with the advantages of infrastructure (Jignesh et al., 2017). However, like all other technologies, power line carrier communication also faces its technical challenges. As the communication medium of this technology, the communication channel of power line is usually complex. The performance of power line communication is greatly affected by noise, so it is necessary to analyze the channel characteristics of power line carrier communication. Based on the power carrier communication technology, this paper constructs the medical center's health treatment lighting control design system. Its innovations include:
