Embodiment 2 FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration of a lighting device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
4, the same or corresponding parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 3 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. The lighting device includes the remote controller 3 described in the first embodiment and the lighting device 1 including a plurality of lighting devices (four in the present embodiment). The lighting device 1 has an identification number for individually specifying the lighting device. An address and a group number for grouping are set. In this embodiment, the addresses are 1 to 4,
The group number is set to the group number 1 for the luminaires having addresses 1 and 2 and the group number 2 is set to the luminaires having the addresses 3 and 4. These addresses and group numbers are stored in the storage unit 10 in the block diagram of the lighting fixture 1 shown in FIG. Address 0 is also set in remote controller 3.

Each of the lighting fixtures 1 is a first embodiment.
In the same configuration as above, an appliance infrared transmitter 4 and an appliance infrared receiver 5 are provided. In addition to the bidirectional infrared signal communication with the remote controller 3 by the appliance infrared transmitter 4 and the appliance infrared receiver 5,
The lighting fixtures 1 communicate with each other by a two-way infrared signal. In FIG. 4, an infrared signal transmitted from the remote controller 3 to the luminaire at address 4 is schematically represented by a solid line, and an infrared signal transmitted from the luminaire at address 4 to the remote controller 3 is represented by a dotted line.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG.
For example, when the infrared transmission unit 6 of the remote controller 3 transmits a command of the light output UP to the luminaire of the specific address 4 by an infrared signal, the transmitted infrared signal further includes the luminaire to be increased. Add address information. At this time, it is assumed that the infrared signal transmitted from the remote controller 3 is transmitted not to the luminaire at address 4 but to the luminaire at address 1. Here, the luminaire at address 1 determines that the received infrared signal is not a command for itself (address 1) by the luminaire control unit 9, and does not perform control to increase the light output of the lamp. An infrared signal having the same content as the signal is transmitted from the appliance infrared transmitting unit 4.

Next, the infrared signal transmitted from the luminaire at address 1 is received by the luminaire at address 2 directly or by reflection on the floor. Since the luminaire at address 2 is not a command for itself, similarly to the luminaire at address 1 described above, an infrared signal having the same content as the received infrared signal is transmitted from the infrared transmitter 4. Similarly, the infrared signal transmitted from the address 2 is received by the lighting equipment at the address 3. However, since this is also not a command for itself, an infrared signal having the same content as the received infrared signal is transmitted to the equipment infrared transmitting unit. Send from 4. Next, when the lighting device of address 4 receives the infrared signal transmitted by the lighting device of address 3, the received infrared signal is designated for itself (address 4). At 9, the decryption processing is performed, and the lighting circuit unit 11 is controlled so as to increase the light output of the lighting equipment at address 4. At this time, the dimming degree indicating the degree of the light output of the lamp that is being output is detected by the operation detection unit 21, and the storage unit 10 of the lighting fixture at address 4 indicates the degree of the light output of the outputting lamp. The dimming degree is stored.

Next, the remote controller 3 sends operation information of the luminaire at address 4, for example, an infrared signal requesting the degree of dimming of the currently lit lamp from the remote controller 3 to the infrared signal transmitter 6 of the remote controller 3. When the infrared signal transmitted from the remote controller 3 is received by the lighting equipment of the address 1, the equipment control unit 9 determines that the request is not a request for itself (address 1). An infrared signal having the same content as the infrared signal received by the unit 5 is transmitted. Here, assuming that the luminaire at address 2 receives this infrared signal, an infrared signal having the same content as the received infrared signal is transmitted in the same manner as when the luminaire at address 1 receives it. The same applies to the case where the device at address 3 receives the data.

When the illumination device at address 4 receives this infrared signal, it is a request for itself (address 4). Therefore, the illumination device at address 4 controls the dimming degree stored in the storage unit 10 by the appliance control. The infrared signal is read out by the unit 9, and the infrared signal to which the address information of the remote controller 3 is set to 0 and the dimming degree information is added through the appliance infrared transmitting unit 5. When the infrared signal to which the dimming degree information is added is transmitted from the lighting device of address 4 and received by the lighting device of address 3, it is not a command signal to itself (address 3) but a signal to the remote controller 3. The appliance control unit 9 determines and transmits an infrared signal having the same content as the received infrared signal. In the same manner, even when the lighting equipment at address 2 and the lighting equipment at address 1 receive the signal, the signal is not a command signal for itself, so that an infrared signal similar to the received infrared signal is transmitted.

Next, the remote controller 3 is an infrared receiver, which receives an infrared signal to which dimming degree information transmitted from the lighting device of the address 4 is added, or which the lighting device of the address 4 transmits via the lighting device of another address. When receiving the infrared signal to which the address information and the dimming degree information are added, the address information coincides with its own address 0. Therefore, the infrared signal is decoded by the remote control control unit 12, and the display unit of the remote control 3 is displayed. The dimming degree information of the lighting fixture of address 4 is displayed.

In the description of the operation of this embodiment, the communication order of the infrared signal from the remote controller 3 to the lighting equipment at address 4 is changed from remote controller 3 transmission to address 1 (transmission, reception).
→ Address 2 (Receive, Send) → Address 3 (Receive, Send) → Address 4 (Receive), and from Address 4 to Remote Control 3 are described in reverse order. Therefore, the conditions of infrared reflection on the floor surface and the devices involved in the infrared communication when the lighting device is installed are different. Also, not all of the installed lighting fixtures are involved in the infrared communication for relaying, and only the remote control 3 and the target lighting fixture are involved, or some of the installed units are involved in the infrared communication for relaying. May be.

Further, in the present embodiment, an example has been given in which a specific address is specified from the remote controller 3, but a group or the like may be specified. The operation information stored and stored in the storage unit 10 includes not only the dimming degree but also information on turning on / off the lamp,
Information indicating an abnormality of the lighting device itself or the lamp may be used. In this case, the status of the lamp and maintenance information of the lighting device can be easily checked at hand.

As described above, the remote controller 3 and the luminaire 1 are each provided with a transmission unit and a reception unit for transmitting an infrared signal, and the storage unit 10 is configured to store and store operation information. Configured to communicate,
In response to a command for an operation information request from the remote controller 3, the illumination device performs infrared communication as necessary, transmits the operation information, and displays the operation information on the display unit 8 of the remote controller 3. Can easily be checked at hand.

Here, as shown by the point A in FIG. 6, if the counter value is 5, it can be understood that the cumulative lighting time of the lamp 2 is between 50 hours and 60 hours. Therefore, the appliance control unit 9 generates an infrared signal to which information that the cumulative lighting time is approximately 50 hours is added, and transmits the infrared signal via the appliance infrared transmission unit 4. Next, when an infrared signal provided with information indicating that the cumulative lighting time is approximately 50 hours is received by the infrared receiver 7 of the remote controller 3, the remote controller controller 12 decodes the infrared signal, and the display unit 8 displays a lighting fixture. 1 indicates that the cumulative lighting time is approximately 50 hours. The details of the infrared communication between the remote controller 3 and the lighting fixture 1 have been described in the first and second embodiments, and thus will not be described here.

Here, the predetermined time for counting the lighting time is set to 10 hours, but this time is not particularly determined and may be an arbitrary time. For example, the time is counted up every minute. If the time is measured, the accumulated lighting time can be indicated with higher accuracy. Further, since the storage unit 10 is configured by a nonvolatile memory or the like, the counter value of the storage unit 10 is retained even in a case where the power of the lighting apparatus 1 is shut off, the lamp 2 is turned off, and the power is turned on again. Therefore, it is possible to count the lighting time cumulatively.

As described above, the clock control means 1 is
3 is provided, the counter value of the storage unit 10 is counted up every predetermined time, and the counter value corresponding to the cumulative lighting time of the lamp is held.
