Description

Lighting including fault indication device {STREET LAMP INCLUDING FAULT DISPLAYING DEVICE}

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a lamp, and more particularly, to a lamp including a failure display device having a limited function of lighting / extinguishing.

In general, lamps may be classified as security lamps and street lamps in view of road lighting fixtures. The security lamp is located in the pedestrian and safety vulnerable areas of the residential area and is a lighting facility for securing pedestrian walking safety and preventing public welfare. The street light is located between the vehicle road and the pedestrian road and is a lighting facility for securing the traffic safety of the vehicle and the walking safety of the pedestrian.

The lamp may be operated under a remote monitoring control system in the case of recently installed, unified lighting, extinguishing and fault monitoring, but may have only a limited function of automatically lighting and extinguishing when installed.

Therefore, the conventional lighting lamp having only the control function of lighting and extinguishing requires a site visit by a person in charge, a report by residents, or a report by a pedestrian to receive monitoring and confirmation of a failure. In addition, when the lamp is broken, since the lights are repaired after being turned off in the daytime, the failure of the lamp is difficult to identify among neighboring lamps at the site visit of the person in charge.

In this case, the lamps are connected to the same power line as neighboring lamps. Therefore, in order to identify the failure of the lamps, power should be supplied to the power line to turn on the entire lamps. After that, the failure site of the lamp may be checked and repaired by a person in charge.

However, since the identification and repair of the failure site of the lamp involves the lighting of the neighboring lamps, it may cause energy waste due to unnecessary power consumption of the neighboring lamps and cause civil complaints.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a lamp having a failure identification device suitable for adding an identification function in the case of a lamp having only a limited function of lighting and turning off.

Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for repairing a street light by using a limited function of lighting and turning off, and using an identification function at the time of failure.

Still another object to be solved by the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and another problem not mentioned here will be fully understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

As described above, the lamp according to the embodiments of the present invention has a limited function of lighting and extinguishing, and in the event of a failure, the lamp is blinking separately from neighboring lamps by using the fault display device. It can be identified by the human eye.

The lamp may add a fault indication device to limited functions of lighting and extinction so that the service life of the ballast and / or lamp may be checked from time to time.

Since the lamps can be identified during the daytime from the neighboring lamps using the failure display device in the event of a failure, it is unnecessary to turn on the neighboring lamps during the troubleshooting, thereby inducing energy savings, and the complaints of pedestrians or residents. May not occur.

Therefore, the lamp 160 is an external power source 10, the power generation unit 20, the internal power source 30, the communication unit 40, the control unit 50, the display driver 60, the on / off of each other electrically connected to each other The switching unit 70, the failure detecting unit 80, the failure indicator 100, the ballast 120, and the lamp 130 may be included.

The lamp 160 has a limited function of automatically turning on and off, but can be repaired using the following repair method with the addition of the failure display device 110 of FIG. 1. First, the lamp 160 may supply power to the failure display device 110, the ballast 120, and the lamp 130 by using the external power supply 10 and the internal power supply 30, respectively (S200).

In this case, the supply of the power turns on / off the switching unit 70 by using an internal control signal to switch the AC power of the external power supply unit 10 to the ballast 120 and the lamp 130. Can supply The lamp 160 may generate a control signal using an internal circuit (S210).

In this case, the generation of the control signal may include receiving an external control signal using a modem of the communication unit 40, and using the microcontroller of the control unit 50 to control internal control signals corresponding to the external control signal. Can be performed by The external control signal can be supplied from a central control station or a lighting on / off control device.

When the controller 50 stores the flashing data including the flashing timetable in the microcontroller, the control unit 50 may generate the internal control signals to the controller 50 to perform the control.

The lamp 160 may secure electrical data of the ballast 120 and / or the lamp 130 using the failure detector 80 (S220). Securing the electrical data supplies a control signal to the failure detection unit 80, and detects and transmits power and pulse data of the ballast 120 and / or the lamp 130 using the failure detection unit 80. Can be performed.

The lamp 160 may check whether the ballast 120 and / or the lamp 130 is broken by using the controller 50 (S230).
