Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a battery built-in type emergency luminaire giving consideration to the easiness of the replacement/maintenance of a storage battery 12 and an environmental factor such as an improvement in recyclability. <P>SOLUTION: Emergency lamp components such as an emergency lighting inverter 8, an inspection switch 9, a charge indicator 10 are housed in a box 7 formed into a U-shape from an inspection opening 6 of an apparatus body 1 protruded in the back face, while a storage battery mounting base 11 and a storage batter 12 are arranged removably in the lower part of the emergency lighting inverter 8. In this way, an arrangement space for the components is secured, while the emergency lamp components can be visually checked, and consequently, the easiness of replacement of the storage battery 12 and the easiness of maintenance of the emergency lamp components can be improved. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a battery built-in emergency lighting apparatus using a fluorescent lamp.

  Fig. 3 shows the conventional structure of a built-in battery emergency lighting device (for example, a tube diameter Φ25 mm high-frequency lighting dedicated lamp: HF lamp, etc.) that is embedded in the ceiling and is thin (e.g., C channel avoidance type, for example, overall height: equivalent to 26 mm). As shown in the figure, it is composed of a fixture main body with a built-in lighting device, a reflector, a lamp socket fixed to the fixture main body, and a fluorescent lamp attached thereto, but includes an emergency lighting inverter, a check switch, a charge indicator, and a rechargeable battery. The emergency light components such as the above have been structured to be housed in a box part protruding from the rear part of the instrument due to restrictions on the sectional size and length of the instrument. FIG. 3 shows a conventional battery built-in emergency lighting apparatus as described above.

The box has a structure that protrudes from the back of the appliance, and the rechargeable battery is replaced from the inspection opening provided in the appliance main body, but the storage position of the rechargeable battery is deeper than the inspection opening. For this reason, the visibility may be poor, and it may take time to replace the rechargeable battery.
Similarly, the emergency lighting inverter is arranged at a position deeper than the inspection opening, so that inspection is difficult, and in the case of maintenance, it may be possible to remove the appliance from the ceiling.

In addition, since the structure of the instrument is more complicated than that of a general-type instrument, there have been problems such as an increase in environmental burden due to an increase in materials used and an increase in the number of manufacturing steps, a decrease in recyclability due to a deterioration in decomposability, and a cost increase.
An object of the present invention is to provide a low-cost built-in battery-type emergency lighting device that is environmentally friendly, such as replacement of a rechargeable battery, maintainability of the device, and improvement of recyclability.

  In order to achieve the above object, emergency light components such as an emergency lighting inverter, a check switch, and a charging indicator are housed in a box that is formed in a U shape from the inspection opening of the instrument body and protrudes from the back surface. Replacing the rechargeable battery because the rechargeable battery mounting base and rechargeable battery can be removed at the bottom of the emergency lighting inverter to ensure the space for the parts and the emergency light components to be visible. It is possible to improve safety and maintainability of emergency light components.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the emergency lighting fixture with a built-in battery in consideration of environment, such as the exchange property of a charging battery, the maintainability of an instrument, and the recyclability, can be provided.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The figure shows an embodiment of an emergency lighting apparatus with a built-in ceiling battery, and the fluorescent lamp 5 is mounted on a lamp socket 3 attached to the apparatus body 1 formed so as to cover the side surface of the fluorescent lamp 5, The lighting device 4 and the emergency light component fixed to the fixture main body 1 are positioned in the middle of the fluorescent lamp 5 and are covered with a reflector 2 that is engaged and fixed to the fixture main body 1. The instrument body 1 is provided with an inspection opening 6, and emergency light components such as an emergency lighting inverter 8, an inspection switch 9, and a charging indicator 10 are placed in a box 7 that is formed in a U shape and protrudes from the back surface. By storing for good visibility, assembly is good and maintenance is easy.

Further, the rechargeable battery mounting base 11 is arranged to be removable under the emergency lighting inverter 8, and the rechargeable battery 12 is arranged to be replaceable thereto. At this time, the rechargeable battery mounting base 11 and the rechargeable battery 12 are arranged so that the connection terminals 8A and 8B at both ends of the emergency lighting inverter 8 are visible.
By arranging in this way, the arrangement space for the parts is secured, and the emergency light components can be visually recognized. Therefore, the replacement of the rechargeable battery 12 and the maintainability of the emergency light components are improved. Can do.
