  However, since the automatic lighting on / off device for the toilet lights up when the toilet is entered and the door is closed, the toilet room is dark until the door is completely closed, and it is difficult to find footwear. Furthermore, in order to push the push button switch with the door, the door must be closed firmly, which imposes a burden on the user and causes a rough sound when closing.

  In addition, since the indoor lighting device uses two switches, the number of wiring points increases, resulting in an increase in cost, and there is a problem in that the wiring is present on both sides of the door frame in appearance.

  In view of the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a door-linked lighting system that is simple in structure and easy to attach and can be lit before entering a room, and is intended to improve comfort in a living environment at low cost.

  The present invention relates to a door interlocking illumination in which a pull switch connected to be able to switch on / off of indoor lighting is attached to a door portion provided with a door, and an attachment means for attaching a pulling operation portion of the pull switch to the door is provided. It is a system.

The pulling operation unit includes an operation unit for turning on / off the switch, such as a pull string unit of the pull switch.
The attaching means includes means for attaching the pulling operation part, such as an attaching part for attaching the pulling operation part, and an attaching part for attaching by a magnetic force.

  With the above configuration, when the door is opened, the interior lighting can be switched on / off in conjunction with this, and can be turned on when entering the room and turned off when leaving the room.

  As an aspect of the present invention, the pulling operation portion is formed with a contact portion on the contact side with the mounting means, and either the corresponding contact portion or the mounting means is formed with a magnet, and the other is It can be formed of a magnet or a magnetic material.

The magnet includes a magnet such as a ferrite magnet, a samarium cobalt magnet, or a neodymium magnet.
The magnetic body includes forming with a member attracted to a magnet, such as a ferromagnetic body such as iron, nickel, or cobalt.

  With the above configuration, when the door is opened, the attachment means pulls the pulling operation section, switches the switch ON / OFF in the middle of opening, and the magnet (or magnetic body) is released to open the door freely when further opened. Is possible.

  As an aspect of the present invention, the pulling operation portion can be formed by providing an elastic member on the contact side with the attachment means, and the end of the elastic member can be attached to the attachment means.

  The elastic member includes a spring such as a helical spring, or a rubber material or the like that is formed of a member that has elasticity and expands and contracts.

  With the above configuration, when the door is opened, the elastic member pulls the pulling operation section, switches ON / OFF in the middle of opening, and further allows the door to be opened by the elastic force of the elastic member, so that the door is sufficiently Can be opened.

  Further, as an aspect of the present invention, the door is formed by an opening door that opens in a door shape, the pull switch is provided on an upper side of the door portion, and the attachment means is provided at an upper end portion of the opening door. It can be provided at the opposite position.

  Accordingly, it is possible to configure a door-linked lighting system by attaching a pull switch to correspond to the opening doors that are generally common in toilets.

Moreover, this invention can be made into the door interlocking switch apparatus comprised by the said pull switch and said attachment means used with the said door interlocking illumination system.
Thereby, it becomes possible to construct a door interlocking illumination system easily by attaching the door interlocking switch device.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a door-linked lighting system that is simple in structure and easy to attach and can be lit before entering a room, and can improve comfort in a living environment at low cost.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
First, the structure of the door interlocking illumination system 1 will be described together with a perspective view of the door entrance shown in FIG. 1 as seen from the front, a perspective view seen from the toilet room as shown in FIG. 2, and a side sectional view as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the door 4 as viewed from the upper left of the front, and shows a cross-sectional view of the ceiling. The door 4 is provided with a door knob 5, and a manual switch 6 is provided on the left side wall 2 of the door 4.

  In addition, a lighting 30 is provided on the ceiling. The illumination 30 may be composed of an appropriate illumination device such as an incandescent bulb or a fluorescent lamp.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the upper part of the rotation axis of the door 4 is looked up from the room A side of the toilet. The wall 2 is provided with a camo 3 as a door frame, and the door 4 is pivotally attached to the camo 3.
A disk-shaped door-side magnet 20 is attached to the upper part of the door 4 near the door rotation axis on the toilet room A side by bonding or the like.

  In addition, it is desirable that the attachment is firmly performed, for example, the entire flat surface of the disk-shaped door-side magnet 20 is bonded to the door 4. Thereby, it can prevent that the stress pulled by the drawstring 11 demonstrated later concentrates on one end of the door side magnet 20, and becomes easy to peel off.

A pull switch (canopy switch) 10 is attached to the ceiling surface of the camo 3 by screwing or the like on the toilet room A side in the vicinity of the door rotation shaft.
The pull switch 10 includes a pull string 11, and is attached to the ring-shaped portion of the tip 11 a of the pull string 11 by hooking the ring-shaped portion 12 b of the heaton (attachment tool) 12 a.

  The heaton 12a is formed of a metal member in which one end of the ring-shaped part 12b is connected to the center point of the disk part 12c having a diameter of about 15 mm to 20 mm, and on the opposite side of the disk part 12c, the same as the disk part 12c. A disk-shaped switch-side magnet 12d having a diameter of about 15 mm to 20 mm is bonded.

The switch-side magnet 12d and the heaton 12a are located at positions facing the door-side magnet 20.
In addition, the attachment part 12 is comprised with the heat switch 12a and the switch side magnet 12d, and the door interlocking switch apparatus 9a is comprised with the pull switch 10, the attachment part 12, and the door side magnet 20. FIG.

  With the above configuration, the switch-side magnet 12d and the door-side magnet 20 are in contact with each other when the door is closed. When the door is opened, the door-side magnet 20 pulls the switch-side magnet 12d by a magnetic force and pulls the pull string 11 to pull it. The switch 10 can be switched ON / OFF.

  The stress at which the heaton 12a is pulled by the pull string 11, that is, the stress at which the spring (elastic body) provided inside the pull switch 10 pulls the pull string 11 is applied from the ring-shaped part 12b to the center part of the disk part 12c. The magnetic force of the magnet 12d and the door side magnet 20 can be used most effectively and strongly.

  Therefore, for example, when the tip 11a of the drawstring 11 is connected to the circumferential portion of the switch-side magnet 12d, the stress pulled from the drawstring 11 is concentrated on one end of the switch-side magnet 12d so that the switch-side magnet 12d becomes the door-side magnet. Thus, it is possible to prevent the magnets from being separated by a stress that is weaker than the force with which the magnets originally adhere, such as being easily separated from 20.

  Next, the circuit configuration of the door-linked lighting system 1 will be described with the circuit diagram shown in FIG.

  The ON / OFF operation switch 6b of the manual switch 6 is connected to one of the two power supply lines connecting the power supply 40 and the illumination 30.

  An emergency switch 6a and a pull switch 10 are connected in series to the contacts S1 and S2 provided at both ends of the ON / OFF operation switch 6b in parallel with the ON / OFF operation switch 6b.

  The emergency switch 6a is set to ON in a normal state, and when the pull switch 10 fails, the emergency switch 6a is turned OFF to avoid a situation where the illumination 30 continues to be turned on and cannot be turned off. .

  Further, the ON / OFF operation switch 6b is set to a normally OFF state, and the ON / OFF of the illumination 30 can be switched when the pull switch 10 is broken. .

  With the above configuration, the illumination 30 can be turned on / off with the drawstring 11 of the pull switch 10. That is, in the normal state where the emergency switch 6a is OFF and the ON / OFF operation switch 6b is ON, the pull string 11 of the pull switch 10 is pulled, and the switch 10a connected to the base of the pull string 11 is used as a contact. ON / OFF is switched by contact.

  Next, the operation of the door 4, the operation of the pull switch 10, and the operation of the illumination 30 when the door 4 is actually opened and closed to enter the toilet will be described with reference to the explanatory diagrams shown in FIGS. 5 to 7.

  The user first stands in front of the door 4 as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6 (F), the pull switch 10 is not pulled at all, the switch-side magnet 12d and the door-side magnet 20 are attached to each other, and the illumination 30 is turned off.

  When the user opens the door 4 slightly as shown in (B), the pull string 11 is pulled in conjunction with the opening operation of the door 4 as shown in (G). The pulling force at this time is weaker than the sticking force due to the magnetic force of the switch-side magnet 12 d and the door-side magnet 20, so that the switch-side magnet 12 d remains attached to the door-side magnet 20.

  At this time, since the opening angle α of the door 4 is not opened up to the switch operation execution angle (for example, an angle of about 20 to 40 degrees) for turning on / off the switch of the pull switch 10, the illumination 30 remains off.

  When the user gradually opens the door 4 as shown in (C), the opening angle α of the door 4 reaches the switch operation execution angle β during the rotation (opening operation), and the switch operation of the pull switch 10 is performed. This is executed and switched from OFF to ON, and the illumination 30 is turned on.

  When the opening angle α exceeds the switch operation execution angle β, the pullable length of the pull string 11 also exceeds, so as shown in FIG. 6 (H), the switch side magnet 12d is moved by the force with which the user opens the door 4. The door 4 is opened away from the side magnet 20.

  As shown in (D), the user enters the toilet with the lighting 30 turned on and closes the door 4, and as shown in (E), the door 4 is completely closed to complete the entry. When the door 4 is closed, the switch-side magnet 12d and the door-side magnet 20 come close to each other, so that the switch-side magnet 12d and the door-side magnet 20 adhere to each other due to the mutual magnetic force, and naturally return to the initial state shown in FIG. .

  The switch-side magnet 12d and the door-side magnet 20 have opposite polarities (S pole for N pole, N pole for S pole), so the switch side magnet 12d is attached in the opposite direction to the initial state. It does not occur, and a certain surface always sticks.

  When leaving the room, as shown in FIG. 7, the same operation as that at the time of entering the room is executed, and the illumination 30 is switched from ON to OFF. That is, (I) in the figure corresponds to (A) in FIG. 5, and similarly, (J) in FIG. 5 (B), (K) in FIG. 5 (C), and (L) in FIG. 5D corresponds to FIG. 5D and FIG. 5E corresponds to FIG.

  The operation starts from the state where the pull switch 10 is switched on and the illumination 30 is turned on, and the entrance operation described above is performed except that the illumination 30 is turned off by switching to the switch OFF at the stage (K). Since they are the same, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same elements, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

With the above configuration and operation, it is possible to realize automatic lighting in which the illumination 30 is turned on in conjunction with the door 4 when the user enters the room and is turned off in conjunction with the door 4 when the user leaves the room.
Since the door-linked lighting system 1 has a simple structure, it is easy to install, and each device (manual switch 6, pull switch 10, switch-side magnet 12d, and door-side magnet 20) is inexpensive, so the construction period is short. It can be installed at a low price.

  Since the lighting 30 is switched between on and off while the door 4 is open, it lights up before entering the room when entering the room, and turns off when leaving the room (for example, while trying to step halfway). Necessary lighting can be ensured at any time of leaving the room.

  The mounting position of the pull switch 10 and the mounting position of the door side magnet 20 are on the rotating shaft side from the center of the upper side of the door 4 and are fixed at a position close to the rotating shaft. The person can operate the door interlocking switch device 9a with a small force.

  Since the pull switch 10 is used as a switch mechanism, the pull switch 10 is strong, and the switch-side magnet 12d is separated from the door-side magnet 20 so that the pull cord 11 is not pulled more than necessary, and can be used without a failure for a long period of time. it can.

  Even if a failure occurs, the emergency switch 6a can be turned off and the lighting 30 can be turned on and off manually by the ON / OFF operation switch 6b.

  In addition, it is good also as a structure which coat | covers the switch side magnet 12d and the door side magnet 20, or one side with buffer members, such as a cloth member. In this case, when the door 4 is closed and the switch-side magnet 12d and the door-side magnet 20 stick together, the buffering member can absorb the sticking sound between the magnets.

  Alternatively, the switch-side magnet 12d may not be bonded to the heaton 12a, and the disk portion 12c, which is an iron plate, may be attached to the door-side magnet 20 by the magnetic force of the door-side magnet 20. Thereby, a structure can be made simpler by using one magnet.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with an explanatory diagram shown in FIG. In this embodiment, an elastic body such as a spring or rubber is used instead of the magnet.
An attachment tool 21 is bonded to the door 4 at the position of the door-side magnet 20 described above, and a spring 13 is installed on the attachment tool 21 and the leading end of the drawstring 11.

  Accordingly, when the door 4 shown in (N) is opened from the closed state, when the spring 13 extends to a predetermined length as shown in (O), the pull switch 10 is turned ON / OFF by the elastic force of the spring 13. The operation of switching and opening the door 4 as shown in (P) can be executed.

The pull switch 10, the spring 13, and the fixture 21 constitute a door interlocking switch device 9b.
Since other configurations and operations are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with an explanatory diagram shown in FIG. In this embodiment, a sliding door type sliding door 7 is used instead of the opening door type door 4.

  In this embodiment, as shown in the partial cross-sectional view seen from the room A side shown in (Q), the door frame 8 is provided with the sliding door 7.

  A pull switch 10 is attached to the door frame 8 to be strong, and an operation rod 14 having a switch-side magnet 12d at the tip is attached to the tip of the pull cord 11 of the pull switch 10.

  In addition, a guide tube 15 that guides the operation rod 14 so as to be movable in one direction is attached to the pull-out port 10b of the pull string 11 of the pull switch 10 by screwing.

  A locking member 22 having a U-shaped left side view is attached to the upper part of the sliding door 7 by screwing, and the door side magnet 20 is bonded to the upper part of the locking member 22 so as to face the switch side magnet 12d. Install by.

The pull switch 10, the switch-side magnet 12d, the operation rod 14, the guide cylinder 15, the door-side magnet 20, and the locking member 22 constitute a door interlocking switch device 9c.
In the initial state, as shown in (Q), the switch-side magnet 12d and the door-side magnet 20 are attached to each other, and the operation rod 14 is housed in the guide tube 15.

  When the user opens the sliding door 7, as shown in (R), the operating rod 14 is pulled out from the guide tube 15 with the switch-side magnet 12d and the door-side magnet 20 attached, and the pulling cord 11 connected to the operating rod 14 is connected. Is pulled to switch ON / OFF of the pull switch 10 during the opening operation.

  When the sliding door 7 is further opened, the door side magnet 20 is separated from the switch side magnet 12d, and the sliding door 7 is opened and freely opened.

  Thereby, even if it is a sliding door type door, the door interlocking illumination system 1 can be constructed | assembled. The switch-side magnet 12d can perform a stable operation without being unstablely hung by the operation rod 14 with the switch-side magnet 12d mounted thereon being guided by the guide tube 15.
