Description

Auxiliary power supply device for lighting fixture and lighting fixture

Technical Field

The present invention relates to an auxiliary power supply device for lighting fixtures and a lighting fixture used in ordinary houses.

Background technique

Lighting fixtures such as ceiling lamps are widely used in ordinary houses. When installing these lighting fixtures on the ceiling (mounting part), it is usually necessary to first install a lighting installation adapter dedicated to the lighting fixture on a power supply unit such as a hook-type ceiling fixture provided on the ceiling (mounting part), and then install the lighting fixture body on the lighting installation adapter. In this way, by using the power supply unit and the lighting installation adapter, the lighting fixture body can be installed on the ceiling (mounting part) with simple operations. The lighting installation adapter is mechanically and electrically connected to the power supply unit that supplies AC power from a commercial power supply, and plays the role of holding the lighting fixture body and supplying AC power to the lighting fixture body via the lighting installation adapter.

The power supply unit of a ceiling lamp or other lighting fixture is a socket dedicated to the lighting fixture. Therefore, a scheme has been proposed to efficiently utilize the AC power by branching a part of the AC power supplied from the power supply unit to supply other lighting fixtures (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, an example of a common lighting fixture is described with reference to Figures 6 (A) and (B). Figure 6 (A) is a schematic perspective view of a lighting fixture using a common lighting mounting adapter, and Figure 6 (B) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the lighting fixture using the lighting mounting adapter.

In a general household residence, a power supply unit called a hook-type ceiling lamp junction box, a hook-type ceiling lamp holder, a hook-type ceiling fixture, a hook-type junction box, etc. is installed on the ceiling for installing a ceiling lamp, etc. As shown in (A) and (B) of FIG. 6 , a lighting fixture is installed on a power supply unit 1 provided on a ceiling (installation unit) 18 in a residence.

In addition, AC power is supplied from a commercial power source to a house for ordinary households. By mounting the lighting installation adapter 10 on the power supply unit 1 provided on the ceiling (installation portion) 18, the power supply unit 1 and the lighting installation adapter 10 are mechanically and electrically connected. By connecting the power supply unit 1 and the lighting installation adapter 10, AC power is supplied from the power line in the house through the power supply unit 1 to the lighting installation adapter 10.

Here, an auxiliary power supply device for lighting equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the embodiment described below represents a specific example of the present invention, so the configuration, function, numerical value, etc. of the components described in the embodiment are only examples, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to them.

(Implementation Method 1)

Hereinafter, a lighting fixture auxiliary power supply device and the like according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the structure of the lighting mount adapter 10 will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the lighting mount adapter 10. The figure illustrates the lighting mount adapter 10 that functions as an auxiliary power supply device for a lighting fixture. A DC power supply device 20 is accommodated in the lighting mount adapter 10. In addition, in FIG. 1, components such as the hook fitting 15, the DC power supply device 20, and the DC power supply output terminal 30 are depicted in the form of a schematic cross-sectional view, and the hatching indicating the cross section and the internal structure are omitted.

The lighting mount adapter 10 has a top plate 12 at the top, a bottom plate 13 at the bottom, and a side plate 14 at the side, and is generally cylindrical in shape. The top plate 12 and the bottom plate 13 are generally circular flat plates, and a pair of hook-shaped hook fittings 15 are fixed to the top of the top plate 12. The hook fittings 15 are fixed in the form of receiving the hook-shaped portions of the hook fittings 15 in two arc-shaped locking grooves (hook fitting locking grooves) penetrating the power supply unit 1 (mounting unit), and the power supply unit 1 (mounting unit) is set on the ceiling (mounting unit) 18. As a result, the lighting mount adapter 10 is fixed to the power supply unit 1, and the hook-shaped portion of the hook fitting 15 is electrically and mechanically connected to the output terminal in the power supply unit 1, and the AC power is turned on.

The lighting mount adapter 10 has a pair of claws 16 protruding from notched holes (not shown) formed through the side plates 14. The claws 16 are urged toward the outside of the side plates 14 of the lighting mount adapter 10. A substantially circular opening 84 is provided on the top plate 81 of the lighting fixture body 80.

In order to mount the lighting fixture body 80 on the lighting mount adapter 10, the lighting mount adapter 10 is inserted through the opening 84 of the top plate 81. Next, when the top plate 81 is lifted to push the claw 16, the claw 16 is pushed into the side plate 14. The top plate 81 passes over the claw 16, and the claw 16 is located below the top plate 81. The claw 16 is urged toward the outside of the side plate 14, and thus protrudes toward the outside of the side plate 14 again, supporting the top plate 81 from below.

In order to remove the top plate 12 from the lighting mount adapter 10, a pair of release levers 17 (the claws 16 and the release levers 17 are collectively referred to as a holding member) provided on the bottom plate 13 of the lighting mount adapter 10 are used. By placing hands on the pair of release levers 17 and moving them inward, the claws 16 are pulled into the side plates 14, the locking of the top plate 12 is released, and the top plate 12 is removed from the lighting mount adapter 10.

In addition, the shape of the lighting mount adapter 10 is not limited to a substantially cylindrical shape, and various shapes such as a rectangular parallelepiped, a triangular prism, and an octagonal prism may be adopted.

The lighting installation adapter 10 includes: an AC power output cable 19 for transmitting AC power supplied from the power supply unit 1; and an AC power output cable 40 connected to the AC power output cable 19 and outputting AC power to the outside of the housing 11. An AC power output terminal 41 is installed at the terminal end of the AC power output cable 40. The AC power output terminal 41 is connected to an input terminal (not shown) provided on the lighting fixture body 80, and supplies AC power to the lighting fixture body 80. In addition, the AC power output cable 40 may also be provided with a plurality of AC power output terminals 41 by branching. In addition, the AC power output terminal 41 may also be provided on the bottom plate 13 of the housing 11 in parallel with the DC power output terminal 30 described later.

In addition, a DC power supply device 20 connected to an AC power output cable 19 is housed in the housing 11 of the lighting mounting adapter 10. The AC power input to the DC power supply device 20 is converted into DC power and transmitted to the DC power output terminal 30 through the DC power output cable 21. For example, an AC voltage of 100V is converted into DC 5V, etc. The DC power output terminal 30 is connected to an external electrical device that matches the output voltage, etc. In addition, the DC power output terminal 30 is usually provided on the bottom plate 13 of the housing 11 in a manner that its end does not protrude from the bottom plate 13 so as to be substantially flush with the bottom plate 13. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2 , it is also possible to configure the DC power output cable 21 to extend from the bottom plate 13 of the housing 11.

The DC power output terminal 30 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) terminal, etc. In addition, the DC power output terminal 30 can be provided at multiple locations, such as two locations, by branching the DC power output cable 21 as needed. Furthermore, a DC power socket and other power terminals may also be provided.

When in use, the DC power supply output terminal 30 is connected to the USB input terminal of the external electric device 100 by a USB cable. Through this connection, the DC power output from the DC power supply device 20 is received by the external electric device 100.

The external electrical device 100 is, for example, a lighting device having a function different from that of the lighting device main body 80 (for example, a spotlight, an emergency lighting device), various sensors (for example, an illuminance sensor for measuring the brightness of a room, a human sensor for detecting whether or not there is anyone in the room, a temperature sensor for detecting conditions such as the temperature or humidity in the room), a camera (for example, a surveillance camera, an infrared camera, a video camera), an audio device (for example, a speaker system, a microphone, a radio), an infrared communication device (for example, an infrared signal transceiver for transmitting and receiving infrared signals to and from the lighting device main body 80 or an external electrical device), an imaging device (for example, a projection device for projecting characters, symbols, images, or messages onto a screen including the lighting cover 90, a television receiver, an electro-optical bulletin board), a mobile communication device (for example, a third generation mobile communication system (3G), a fifth generation mobile communication system (5G), LTE (Long Term Evolution) communication, LPWA (Low A communication device for communicating with a wireless communication device (for example, a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) wireless communication device, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) transceiver device, a wireless communication repeater), or a system combining the above-mentioned various devices.

A relatively light device among the external electrical devices 100 can be mounted on the lighting mount adapter 10 by inserting it into the DC power supply output terminal 30, by bonding it with double-sided tape/adhesive, and in the case where a metal material such as iron is used for the bottom plate 13, it can be mounted on the lighting mount adapter 10 by a magnet. In addition, a heavy device among the external electrical devices 100 can be mounted by an appropriate fixing method, such as screw fixing to the bottom plate 13 of the housing 11, or mounting to a mounting accessory fixed to the housing 11.

Here, the structure of the lighting fixture main body 80 is described with reference to (A) and (B) of FIG. 6 . The lighting fixture main body 80 is mounted on the power supply unit 1 using the lighting mount adapter 10 . The top plate 81 of the lighting fixture main body 80 is a flat plate formed of metal or the like, has an opening 84 in the center, and is annular as a whole. As described above, the claw 16 of the lighting mount adapter 10 functions to support the periphery of the opening 84 of the top plate 81 from below. Thus, the lighting fixture main body 80 including the top plate 81 is held by the claw 16 so as not to fall off the lighting mount adapter 10 . A light source 82 composed of a substrate on which a light emitting element such as an LED is mounted and a control unit 83 are arranged at the lower part of the top plate 81 . The control unit 83 is provided with a light receiving unit 85 of the remote controller 91 , a driving circuit (not shown), and the like. In addition, the components constituting the lighting fixture main body 80 , such as the light source 82 , the control unit 83 , the light receiving unit 85 , and the driving circuit (not shown) are connected to each other by wiring (not shown).

The surface of the top plate 81 is painted white so that the light from the light source 82 is efficiently reflected toward the lower surface.

The lighting fixture body 80 includes a light receiving unit 85, and is remotely operated by a remote controller 91 connected to the light receiving unit 85. The remote controller 91 outputs an infrared signal indicating the contents (how to control the lighting fixture body 80) indicated by the operation performed by the user or the like. The infrared signal may be, for example, a signal of an IR (Infrared) code indicating the control contents. The remote controller 91 outputs, for example, an infrared signal indicating the IR code corresponding to the operation contents, thereby outputting an infrared signal indicating the control contents of the lighting fixture body 80.

The light receiving unit 85 provided in the lighting fixture body 80 receives an infrared signal from the remote controller 91. The light receiving unit 85 is composed of a light receiving element (e.g., an infrared sensor, etc.) that can receive infrared signals. The light receiving unit 85 converts the received infrared signal into an electrical signal and supplies it to a driving circuit (not shown). The driving circuit controls the light source 82 to turn on/off, dim the light, etc. according to the electrical signal (e.g., the control content indicated by the infrared signal) supplied from the light receiving unit 85. That is, the light receiving unit 85 functions as a detection unit that detects the infrared signal sent from the remote controller 91.

Through the operation of the light receiving unit 85 and the driving circuit, etc., the remote control 91 realizes the remote control of the lighting fixture body 80. For example, when the user operates the remote control 91 to turn on the lighting fixture body 80, an infrared signal indicating the lighting is supplied to the lighting fixture body 80, and the control unit 83 receives the infrared signal through the light receiving unit 85, and turns on the light source 82 based on the infrared signal. For example, when the user operates the remote control 91 to turn off the lighting fixture body 80, an infrared signal indicating the turning off is supplied to the lighting fixture body 80, and the control unit 83 receives the infrared signal through the light receiving unit 85, and turns off the light source 82 based on the infrared signal. In addition, when the user operates the remote control 91 to dim the lighting fixture body 80, an infrared signal indicating the dimming and the dimming method is supplied to the lighting fixture body 80, and the control unit 83 receives the infrared signal through the light receiving unit 85, and dims the light source 82 based on the infrared signal. The control unit 83 is electrically connected to the power supply unit 1 via the AC power output terminals 41 , 61 and the AC power output cables 40 , 60 .

Therefore, AC power is supplied from the power supply unit 1 to the control unit 83 through the lighting mounting adapter 10, and the driving circuit supplies the power to the light source 82. The control unit 83 controls the amount of power supplied to the light source 82 (specifically, the amount of current flowing through the light source 82) according to the infrared signal, thereby controlling the light source 82. The driving circuit lights the light source 82 by supplying power to the light source 82. Moreover, the driving circuit extinguishes the light source 82 by stopping the supply of power to the light source 82. The driving circuit performs dimming to change the brightness of the light source 82 by changing the amount of power supplied to the light source 82 (specifically, the amount of current). The control unit 83 is set in a position and shape such that a shadow is not generated by the light from the light source 82. In this way, the control unit 83 functions as a light source control unit that controls the light source 82.

In addition, it is possible to utilize it as one of the external electrical devices 100 having the light receiving unit 85 (for example, referred to as a light receiving member) instead of arranging the light receiving unit 85 inside the lighting fixture body 80. In this case, the light receiving member is arranged between the DC power supply output terminal 30 on the lighting mounting adapter 10 side and the DC power supply input terminal (not shown) on the lighting fixture body 80 side.

As in the case where the light receiving unit 85 is disposed inside the lighting fixture body 80 , a control signal for the light source 82 is outputted through the same processing as described above based on an infrared signal indicating control content of the lighting fixture body 80 transmitted from the remote controller 91 .

The lighting cover 90 is a member that diffuses the light emitted from the light source 82, and covers the entire components of the lighting fixture, such as the light source 82 and the control unit 83, from the bottom side (the light source side). The lighting cover 90 is mounted on the top plate 81 of the lighting fixture in a detachable manner by a locking member or the like provided on the top plate 81. In addition, the lighting cover 90 is made of a synthetic resin member such as a milky white acrylic resin.

(Implementation Method 2)

Next, a lighting fixture auxiliary power supply device and the like according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 .

Fig. 2 shows the lighting mount adapter 10 of Fig. 1 after the DC power output terminal 30 is extended by the DC power output cable 21. By extending the DC power output cable 21 and separating the DC power output terminal 30 from the housing 11, DC power can be supplied to a DC power input terminal such as a USB terminal of an external electrical device with a short cable or no cable, thereby being able to flexibly handle the external electrical device.

(Implementation method 3)

Next, a lighting fixture auxiliary power supply device and the like according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3 .

FIG3 shows an overall view of an auxiliary power supply device for lighting equipment in which a DC power supply device main body 70 having a built-in DC power supply device 50 is mounted on a lighting installation adapter 10. The DC power supply device main body 70 has a built-in DC power supply device 50. The AC power supply output cable 40 led out from the lighting installation adapter 10 is pulled into the DC power supply device main body 70 through a small hole (not shown) provided through a side plate 74 of the DC power supply device main body 70, and is connected to an input terminal of the DC power supply device 50. The DC power supply device 50 is electrically connected to the lighting installation adapter 10 by connecting the AC power supply output cable 40 to the DC power supply device 50.

In addition, the AC power output cable 40 branches in the DC power device body 70, one end of which is connected to the DC power device 50, and the other end passes through the small hole 75 of the bottom plate 73 and extends to the outside as the AC power output cable 60. The AC power output terminal 61 is installed at the end of the AC power output cable 60.

The DC power supply device body 70 has a top plate 72 at the top, a bottom plate 73 at the bottom, and a side plate 74 on the side, and is generally cylindrical in shape. Although it is a shape roughly similar to the lighting mount adapter 10, two recesses 71 (see FIG. 4 ) are provided from the top plate 72 to the side plate 74 to accommodate the release rod 17 provided on the lighting mount adapter 10. In the case where the outer shape of the DC power supply device body 70 is a small size that is further inside than the fixing position of the release rod 17, it is not necessary to provide the recess 71. Since the DC power supply device body 70 shown in FIG. 3 is a small size compared to the release rod 17, it is not necessarily necessary to provide a recess. In addition, the top plate 72 and the bottom plate 73 are roughly circular flat plates, and the upper part of the top plate 12 is mounted on the bottom plate 13 of the lighting mount adapter 10 by an appropriate mounting unit.

The details of the operation method of the lighting mount adapter 10 for holding and removing the lighting fixture main body 80 using the pair of claws 16 and the release lever 17 are as described in the first embodiment.

In addition, the shape of the DC power supply device main body 70 is the same as the lighting mount adapter 10 in the embodiment, but is not limited thereto, and various shapes such as a rectangular parallelepiped, a triangular prism, and an octagonal prism may be adopted.

The AC power input to the DC power supply device 50 is converted into DC power and output from the DC power supply output terminal 52 through the DC power supply output cable 51. The output voltage is, for example, DC 5V. The DC power supply output terminal 52 is connected to an external electrical device that matches the output voltage, etc. In addition, the DC power supply output terminal 52 is usually arranged on the bottom plate 73 of the DC power supply device body 70 in a manner that its end does not protrude from the bottom plate 73 and is substantially flush with the bottom plate 73.

Alternatively, the DC power supply output cable 51 may be configured to extend from a small hole (not shown) in the bottom plate 73 of the DC power supply device body 70 .

In addition, the DC power output terminal 52 is connected to an input terminal (not shown) provided on the lighting fixture body 80, and DC power is supplied to the lighting fixture body 80. In addition, the AC power output cable 60 may be branched to have a plurality of AC power output terminals 61. In addition, the AC power output terminal 61 may be provided on the bottom plate 73 of the body 70 in parallel with the DC power output terminal 52 described later.

The DC power supply device main body 70 that accommodates the DC power supply device 50 is mounted on the bottom plate 13 of the housing 11 of the lighting mount adapter 10. As a simple method for mounting the DC power supply device main body 70, when the DC power supply device main body 70 is a lightweight main body, it can be mounted using double-sided tape, adhesive, etc. In the case where the housing 11 of the lighting mount adapter 10 has a metal material such as iron inside, a magnet can also be installed in the DC power supply device main body 70, and the DC power supply device main body 70 can be mounted on the bottom plate 13 of the housing 11 by the magnetic force of the magnet attracting the metal. By mounting using a magnet, it is not necessary to prepare double-sided tape, etc., and the mounting of the DC power supply device main body 70 becomes easy.

In addition, the bottom plate 13 of the housing 11 and the DC power supply device main body 70 may be fixed by screws. Furthermore, the housing 11 and the DC power supply device main body 70 may be fixed by using mounting accessories.

(Implementation 4)

Next, the auxiliary power supply device for lighting equipment and the like according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 4 (A) to Fig. 4 (C). Fig. 4 (A) to Fig. 4 (C) are external views of the auxiliary power supply device for lighting equipment composed of the lighting mounting adapter 10 and the DC power supply device main body (main body) 70 and the like.

Fig. 4 (A) is a perspective view of the lighting mounting adapter 10 and the DC power supply device body 70 as viewed from the side, and Fig. 4 (B) is a perspective view of the DC power supply device body 70 as viewed from the AC power supply output cable 40 side. Fig. 4 (C) is a bottom view of the DC power supply device body 70 as viewed from the bottom plate 73 side.

In the present embodiment, the lighting mount adapter 10 and the DC power supply device main body 70 are both cylindrical in shape and have substantially the same size.

FIG. 4(C) shows the DC power output terminal 52 , the AC power output cable 60 extending from the small hole 75 provided through the bottom plate 73 , and the AC power output terminal 61 mounted on the terminal portion of the AC power output cable 60 .

As shown in FIG. 4 (A) and FIG. 4 (B), two recesses 71 are formed on the upper side surface (the surface in contact with the lighting fixture mounting adapter 10) of the DC power supply device body 70 which is substantially cylindrical. The lighting fixture mounting adapter 10 has a pair of release levers 17 on the bottom plate 13 for removing the lighting fixture body 80. When the DC power supply device body 70 is mounted on the lighting fixture mounting adapter 10, these recesses 71 accommodate the release levers 17 so that the release levers 17 do not become an obstacle.

When the DC power supply device body 70 is mounted, the positions of the two recesses 71 and the release lever 17 are aligned with each other so that the release lever 17 enters the two recesses 71, thereby mounting the DC power supply device body 70 on the lighting mounting adapter 10. Therefore, since the release lever 17 does not contact the DC power supply device body 70, the mounting of the DC power supply device body 70 is not hindered. The mounting of the DC power supply device body 70 to the lighting mounting adapter 10 may be performed using a mounting member as described above, or may be performed using a magnet, a double-sided tape, or the like (see FIG. 4 (A)).

By connecting the auxiliary power supply device for lighting fixtures of the present invention to an external electrical device that is activated with a DC power supply in addition to the lighting fixture, it can be applied to various purposes.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary power supply device for lighting fixtures is listed mainly around the example of a lighting fixture main body 80 that is lit with AC power and an external electrical device 100 that operates with DC power, but is not limited to this. The required AC power output terminals and DC power output terminals can be appropriately set in the auxiliary power supply device for lighting fixtures according to the power supply characteristics of the lighting fixture main body 80 and the external electrical device 100 and the number of configurations thereof.

In addition, as described above, the external electrical equipment 100 is installed at a higher position such as the ceiling (installation portion) 18 via the lighting installation adapter 10. By using various sensors for sensing the illumination in the room, the presence of people, the room temperature, etc., an infrared signal transceiver for operating indoor equipment, a projection device (projecting images or characters, etc. onto the lighting cover 90 or a screen installed in the room), a wireless communication repeater, an infrared surveillance camera, a mobile communication device (3G, 5G, LTE communication, LPWA, etc.), an audio device (microphone, speaker, etc.), etc., or a system combining multiple devices, it is possible to obtain lighting fixtures with various functions.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications can be made to the above-described embodiment.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the lighting fixture main body 80 and the external electrical device 100 are mounted on the lighting fixture auxiliary power supply device including the lighting mounting adapter 10 installed on the ceiling (mounting portion) 18 is described, but the arrangement location of the lighting mounting adapter 10 is not limited to the ceiling (mounting portion) 18. For example, even in the case where the lighting fixture main body 80 and the external electrical device 100 are mounted on the lighting fixture auxiliary power supply device including the lighting mounting adapter 10 installed on the upper part of the wall, the same effect as the above embodiment can be expected.
