Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、非常用等の照明器具に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来より天井面に取付けられる器具で、器具高さを低くし、施工スペースが少なくてすむ非常用照明器具が用いられている。
【０００３】
この照明器具は、図１１および図１２に示すように天井面１００へ先に天井取付金具１０１を木ねじ１１０により取付け、後に天井取付金具１０１に本体ユニット１０２をワンタッチ式に固定するものであった。このワンタッチ式固定手段は天井取付金具１０１に複数の引掛片１０１ａを垂下し、本体ユニット１０３に引掛片１０１ａに引っ掛けるスライド板（図示せず）を設けた構成で、本体ユニット１０２を持ち上げスライド板をスライドさせて引っ掛けるようにしている。１０３は本体ユニット１０２に取付ける電源ユニット、１０４は反射鏡、１０５はカバー、１０６は非常用ハロゲン電球である。しかし、このワンタッチ取付けを実現するためにスライド板等が必要なため、部品点数が多く器具組立性が良くなく、しかもコストアップの原因ともなっていた。
【０００４】
更に、電源ユニット１０３の着脱は、係合箇所がコネクタ部１０７と２個所の電池取付用の固定金具１０８があり、両手で電源ユニット１０３を外す際に両手が各固定金具１０８に１対１に対応するため、コネクタ部１０７を直接外す対応ができず、しかも通電部であるためコネクタ部１０７は多少脱力が高く作業性が良好ではなかった。

【０００６】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来例は、上記したように天井取付金具１０１を取付けるための器具構造部品の部品点数が多いことによる組立作業工数が多く、器具の軽量化が図れず、また電源ユニット１０３の着脱作業性が良好でなかった。
【０００７】
本発明は、上記の点に鑑みて成されたものであり、その目的とするところは、少ない部品点数で組立性を良好にし、かつ信頼性および施工性の向上を図ることのできる照明器具を提供することにある。
【０００８】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１記載の照明器具は、平板状であって取付面に取付ける取付部を有し回路ブロックユニット係止部を有する取付具と、ランプソケットおよび回路ブロックを内蔵し前記回路ブロックユニット係止部に取付けられる被係止部を有する回路ブロックユニットとを備え、前記被係止部は、前記回路ブロックユニットを前記取付具に当接しスライドすることにより前記回路ブロックユニット係止部に係止するように構成されていることを特徴とするものである。
【０００９】
請求項１記載の照明器具によれば、取付具を天井等の取付面に取付け、取付具に直接回路ブロックユニットを取付ける構成のため、従来のワンタッチ取付構成が不要となるので、部品点数を削減することができ、軽量化できる。また回路ブロックユニットは取付具にスライド係止するため、取付具への組み立てが容易になる。したがって従来品とほぼ同様な施工であっても部品点数が少なくかつ効率的な器具組立加工を行なうことができる。
【００１０】
請求項２記載の照明器具は、請求項１において、前記取付具が外周に周壁を有しこの周壁の上端から外方に延びたフランジ部を有するものであり、前記回路ブロックユニット係止部は前記取付具の表面との間に進入用隙間を形成する挟持部と、前記フランジ部に形成されたスリットとを有し、前記被係止部は前記回路ブロックユニットを前記スリットから前記挟持部の方向へスライドしたとき前記挟持部の前記進入用隙間に嵌合する被挟持部と前記スリットに係合する被係合部とを有するものである。

【００１５】
請求項４記載の照明器具によれば、請求項３と同様な効果のほか、回路ブロックユニットが取付けの際に取付具にスライドする方向と電源ユニットが取付具に嵌合する方向が異なることで器具分離を防止することができる。
【００１６】
請求項５記載の照明器具は、請求項４において、前記凹部は前記回路ブロックユニットの両側面に有し、前記凹部に対応する前記取付具に前記取付部を有するものである。
【００１７】
請求項５記載の照明器具によれば、取付部を回路ブロックユニットの両側からはみ出した位置に設けることができ、凹部がねじ挿通作業の空間スペースとなるので、取付具を大型化することなく、回路ブロックユニットを取付具に取付けた状態で取付具を天井等の取付面に取付ける作業が容易になる。
【００１８】
請求項６記載の照明器具は、請求項５において、前記電源ユニットがコネクタ受け部を有し、前記電源ユニットはその取付けと同時に前記コネクタ部に接続可能なコネクタ部を有し、前記被取付部は前記電源ユニットの略コ字形の内周側面の略中央の前記取付具側に基端部が取付けられて先端部が前記取付具から離れる方向および前記回路ブロックユニットの方向に延びた板ばねであり、前記板ばねはその中間部に係止段部を屈曲しており、前記電源ユニット取付部は前記係止段部に係止して前記電源ユニットを外れ止めする係止面を有し、前記板ばねの先端部を前記電源ユニットの内周側面側に弾性変形することにより前記係止段部を前記電源ユニット取付部から離脱可能としたものである。
【００１９】
請求項６記載の照明器具によれば、請求項５と同様な効果のほか、従来と比較して電源ユニットの取付部の板ばねは１つであるため、板ばねの解除とコネクタ部の解除に両手が一対一に対応するのでそれぞれを操作しながら行うことができ、取り外し作業を安全に行うことができる。
【００２０】
請求項７記載の照明器具は、請求項２において、前記挟持部が前記取付具に切起こしにより形成され、その先端にねじ孔を形成し、前記被挟持部にねじ挿通孔を形成し、ねじにより結合されたものである。
【００２１】
請求項７記載の照明器具によれば、請求項２と同様な効果のほか、回路ブロックユニットの取付けがより確実になる。

【発明の実施の形態】
この発明の一実施の形態を図１から図１０に基づいて説明する。すなわち、この照明器具は、取付具１と、回路ブロックユニット２と、電源ユニット３を有する。
【００２３】
取付具１は、平板状であって取付面、例えば天井面４に取付ける取付部５を有し、かつ回路ブロックユニット係止部６を有する。まず天井面４には電源線引出穴７を有し、電源線引出穴７より電源線８を引出している。取付具１は例えば金属製の円板であり、外周に周壁９を有し、この周壁９の端部から外方に延びたフランジ部１０を有する。図２に示すように取付具１の中央部に電源線用穴１６を形成し、その両側に取付部５を形成している。一側側の取付部５は１個の鍵穴形ないしだるま形孔であり、他側側の取付部５は２個並列に並んだ長孔により形成している。回路ブロックユニット係止部６は取付具１の表面との間に進入用隙間１２を形成する挟持部１１と、フランジ部１０に形成されたスリット１３とを有する。挟持部１１は切起こしにより鉤形に形成され、その先端にねじ孔１４を形成している。この挟持部１１は一対有し、取付具１の中央に向けて略ハの字形に配置されている。スリット１３も一対有し、取付具１の中央を間にして挟持部１１と反対側のフランジ部１０に形成している。フランジ部１０のスリット１３間には回路ブロックユニット２の回路ブロックの放熱用の孔１５を複数形成している。なお、取付具１のフランジ部１０に一対の切欠き４５が形成され、切欠き４５の端部にガイド部４６が延出し、ガイド部４６の付根側で取付具１の裏面に押さえ片４７を設けている。
【００２４】
回路ブロックユニット２は、ランプソケット１８および回路ブロック１９を内蔵し、回路ブロックユニット係止部６に係止される被係止部２０を有する。実施の形態における回路ブロック１９は充電回路、点灯回路およびモニタランプの点検スイッチ回路を有する。被係止部２０は、回路ブロックユニット２を取付具１の表面に当接しスライドすることにより回路ブロックユニット係止部６に係止するように形成されている。すなわち被係止部２０は回路ブロックユニット２をスリット１３から挟持部１１の方向（図２（ｃ）の矢印）へスライドしたとき、挟持部１１の進入用隙間１２に嵌合する被挟持部２１と、スリット１３に係合する被係合部２２とを有する。被挟持部２１は回路ブロックユニット２の先端角部に形成され、ねじ孔１４に整合するねじ挿通孔２７を形成し、挟持部１１の切起こしにより形成された穴を通してねじ挿通孔２７側からねじ（図示せず）を挿通し、ねじ孔１４に螺合される。回路ブロックユニット２の後端側はフランジ部１０の放熱孔１５上に位置しかつ、フランジ部１０から浮くように切欠き形成されている。被係合部２２は略Ｌ字形であって、回路ブロックユニット２の後端側の両側よりフランジ部１０に向けて突出し、その先端のかぎ部がスリット１３に係止して抜止めとなる。この回路ブロックユニット２は取付具１上で取付具１の電源線用穴１６のある中央部からスリット１３のある一周縁部の範囲に位置し、その中央部に対応してランプソケット１８を有するとともに被挟持部２１の間に電源ユニット取付部２３を有する。また回路ブロックユニット２は取付具１の中央部から一縁部に延びる方向と直角な方向となる側面に凹部２４を有する。凹部２４は回路ブロックユニット２の両側面に有し、凹部２４に対応する取付具１に取付部５を有する。また被挟持部２１の上側にも逃げ凹部５０を形成している。さらに回路ブロックユニット２は後端部の一側面にコネクタ受け部２５を有し、取付具側と反対側の面にモニタランプ点検スイッチの引き部５１を露出し、その近傍に放熱孔５３を形成している。またランプソケット１８の後端側に例えば速結型の端子５４を設け、電源線穴１６に臨ませ、電源線８を接続している。図２（ｂ）において、３３は電源線８の接続部カバーであり、ねじ５６とナット５７により取付具１に取付けている。
【００２５】
電源ユニット３は、略コ字形であって、取付具１上の回路ブロックユニット２の周囲に配置している。実施の形態の電源ユニット３は、コ字形のケース６０と、蓋部６１からなり、蓋部６１の内外周にそれぞれ複数の係止爪６６をケース６０に向けて突出し、ケース６０に爪受け部６７を形成している。この場合、内周側は係止爪６６および爪受け部６７を突出させ、外周側はケース６０内に突出するように外面に溝を形成した電池位置決め兼リブ６９の溝内に爪受け部６７を形成し、係止爪６６をこれに対応して蓋部６１に形成している。なお係止爪６６をケース６０に設け爪受け部６７を蓋部６１に設けてもよい。
【００２６】
蓋部６１は外表面にフランジ部１０に載置する当接面３５を有するとともに周壁９の内周に当接する段部３６を有し、かつケース６０に電源ユニット取付部２３に取付ける被取付部３７を有する。段部３６は略円形状に形成され、取付具１に略垂直に周壁９に嵌合した状態で取付具１の径方向にスライドできないようにしている。そして内周の一対の係止爪６６および爪受け部６７の組で電源ユニット３の内側面に設けた、凹部２４に嵌合する突起部３８を兼ねている。内周側の残りの一対の係止爪６６および爪受け部６７の組は逃げ凹部５０に位置する。
【００２７】
ケース６０内には複数の充電電池６２が直列に接続されて収納されている。各充電電池６２はリブ６９により位置決めされかつ電池相互が仕切られている。充電電池６２は直列接続の途中にヒューズ７１が介在され、中央の電池上に配置され、蓋部６１に形成した凸部８８内に位置し、凸部８８に形成したヒューヒズ出し入れ用開口部８９よりヒューズ７１を着脱することができる。また両端の電池にリード線７２が接続されて、コネクタ部３９に接続されている。コネクタ部３９は電源ユニット３の取付けと同時にコネクタ受け部２５に接続可能に構成されており、ケース６０の一端部に突設した保持部７４に取付けられている。保持部７４は両側に内向きに対向する爪７５を設け、一方コネクタ部３９の基端部に両側に係止片７６を突設し、図１０（ｂ）に示すように片方の係止片７６を係止爪７５の一方に係止するように斜めにコネクタ部３９を挿入し、つぎに矢印のようにコネクタ部３９を回動することにより、係止爪７５に係止している。係止爪７５の一方には弾性を付与するための溝を係止爪７５の両側に形成している。
【００２８】
被取付部３７は電源ユニット３の略コ字形の内周側面の略中央に基端部が取付けられて先端部が取付具１から離れる方向および回路ブロックユニット２の方向に延びた板ばねである。板ばねは基端部７７が広幅になってレの字形に折り畳まれ、基端部７７の中央に係止孔７８を形成し、ケース６０の内周面の中央に基端部７７の両側を挿入させる一対の溝部７９を形成し、溝部７９の間に係止孔７８に係止する抜止め爪８０を形成している。また蓋部６１に溝部７９の端部を塞ぐ抜止め部８２を突設している。板ばねはその中間部に係止段部４０を屈曲しており、電源ユニット取付部２３は係止段部４０に係止して電源ユニット３を外れ止めする引掛面２３ａを有し、板ばねの先端部を電源ユニット３の内周側面側に弾性変形することにより係止段部４０を電源ユニット取付部２３から離脱可能としている。板ばねの先端部は電源ユニット３の取り外し操作がしやすいように内向きに曲げている。
【００２９】
カバー９０は有底円筒形であり、底部中央穴９１の内面側にラッパ形の反射鏡９２を配置している。カバー９０の開口縁の内周面に係止片９３を突設し、係止片９３が取付具１のガイド部４６に沿って取付具１の裏面に摺動し押さえ片４７により押さえ固定される。９４はスイッチ用穴である。
【００３０】
組み立てについて説明する。取付具１に回路ブロックユニット２をスライドして挟持部１１に被挟持部２１をスライドし、スリット１３に被係止部２２をスライドして係止し、ねじ挿通孔２７を通して被挟持部２１のねじ孔１４にねじを締めつける。天井から引き下ろした電源線８を端子５４に接続し、取付具１の取付部５を通して天井４に木ねじ９６で取付ける。電源ユニット３の段部３６を取付具１の周壁９に嵌合し、同時に突起部３８を凹部２４に嵌合し、係止爪６６および爪受け部６７の組を逃げ凹部５０に位置させるように嵌め、さらにコネクタ部３９をコネタク受け部２５に接続して、被取付部３７の板ばねの係止段部４０を引掛面２３ａに引掛け、これにより取付具１に電源ユニット３を取付ける。カバー９０内に反射鏡９２を載せてカバー９０を回路ブロックユニット２および電源ユニット３に被せ、その係止片９３を切欠きよりガイド片４６に沿って摺動し押さえ片４７に押し込む。これにより取付が完了する。穴９１を通して非常灯用ハロゲン電球９９をランプソケットに装着する。

This one-touch type fixing means has a structure in which a plurality of hooking pieces 101a are suspended from the ceiling mounting bracket 101, and a slide plate (not shown) for hooking the hooking piece 101a is provided on the main body unit 103. I try to slide it. Reference numeral 103 denotes a power supply unit attached to the main unit 102, 104 denotes a reflecting mirror, 105 denotes a cover, and 106 denotes an emergency halogen bulb. However, since a slide plate or the like is necessary to realize this one-touch mounting, the number of parts is large and the assembling property is not good, and the cost is increased.
[0004]
Further, the power supply unit 103 can be attached / detached with the connector portion 107 and two battery mounting fixing brackets 108 at the engagement locations, and when removing the power supply unit 103 with both hands, both hands are attached to each fixing bracket 108 one-to-one. Therefore, the connector portion 107 cannot be removed directly, and since it is an energizing portion, the connector portion 107 is somewhat weak and has poor workability.
