Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-7737

しかしながら上記構成では、スライドスイッチ又はシーソースイッチを用いるので、水中でのスイッチ操作がし難いという問題がある。   However, in the above configuration, since a slide switch or a seesaw switch is used, there is a problem that it is difficult to operate the switch in water.

また、スライドスイッチ又はシーソースイッチでは、単なるオン、オフではなく、複数段階の調光や点灯−点滅の切り換え等のスイッチ操作が、その構造上行い難いという問題がある。   In addition, the slide switch or the seesaw switch has a problem in that it is difficult to perform switch operations such as dimming in multiple steps and switching between lighting and blinking, not simply on and off.

本発明の目的は、上記従来例の問題点を解決し得る水中ライトを提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide an underwater light that can solve the problems of the conventional example.

本発明に係る水中ライトは、略円筒状の本体ケースと、電池を収容して本体ケースの一端側に同軸上に配置されて防水構造で嵌合する略円筒状の電池ケースと、光源を収容して本体ケースの他端側に同軸上に配置されて防水構造で嵌合する略円筒状の光源ケースと、本体ケース内に取り付けられて光源を電池に電気的に接続する回路部と、本体ケース内に取り付けられて回路部の電気的接続状態を切り換えるスライドスイッチとを備え、光源ケースは、その中心軸の周りに本体ケースに対して回動可能に嵌合されており、本体ケース内で光源ケースと一体に回動してスライドスイッチを摺動させるスイッチ摺動部材を設けたことを特徴とする。   An underwater light according to the present invention includes a substantially cylindrical main body case, a substantially cylindrical battery case that accommodates a battery, is coaxially disposed on one end side of the main body case, and fits in a waterproof structure, and a light source A substantially cylindrical light source case that is coaxially disposed on the other end side of the main body case and fits in a waterproof structure, a circuit unit that is mounted in the main body case and electrically connects the light source to the battery, and the main body And a slide switch that is mounted in the case and switches the electrical connection state of the circuit unit, and the light source case is rotatably fitted to the main body case around its central axis. A switch sliding member that rotates integrally with the light source case to slide the slide switch is provided.

この構成によれば、光源ケースを本体ケースに対して回動させると、スイッチ摺動部材が本体ケース内で光源ケースと一体に回動してスライドスイッチを摺動させる。このため、水中で高い防水性能を確保しながらスイッチを容易に操作できる水中ライトを提供することができる。   According to this configuration, when the light source case is rotated with respect to the main body case, the switch sliding member rotates integrally with the light source case in the main body case to slide the slide switch. For this reason, the underwater light which can operate a switch easily can be provided, ensuring high waterproof performance in water.

回路部は光源へのエネルギー供給をコントロールする機能を有し、スライドスイッチは光源を調光する複数のスライド位置を有すると好適である。スイッチのオン・オフ操作のみならず、光源の調光操作も容易に行うことができるからである。   The circuit unit preferably has a function of controlling energy supply to the light source, and the slide switch preferably has a plurality of slide positions for dimming the light source. This is because not only the on / off operation of the switch but also the dimming operation of the light source can be easily performed.

回路部は光源へのエネルギー供給をコントロールする機能を有し、スライドスイッチは光源を点灯させるスライド位置と光源を点滅させるスライド位置とを有すると好適である。スイッチのオン・オフ操作のみならず、光源の点滅操作も容易に行うことができるからである。   It is preferable that the circuit unit has a function of controlling energy supply to the light source, and the slide switch has a slide position for lighting the light source and a slide position for blinking the light source. This is because not only the on / off operation of the switch but also the blinking operation of the light source can be easily performed.

光源は発光ダイオードにより構成されると好適である。衝撃、振動による豆電球切れのおそれが少ないからである。   The light source is preferably composed of a light emitting diode. This is because there is little risk of the light bulb breaking due to impact or vibration.

本発明によれば、高い防水性を確保しながら電源スイッチを容易に操作できる水中ライトを提供することができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the underwater light which can operate a power switch easily can be provided, ensuring high waterproofness.

A circuit unit 6 for electrically connecting the light emitting diode 7 to the battery 8 is provided in the main body case 3. A slide switch 2 is provided in the main body case 3. The slide switch 2 has three fixed contacts 18 to 20, and a movable contact member 12 having a movable contact 17 is provided. The slide switch 2 switches the electrical connection state of the circuit unit 6 between a cut-off state, a lighting state, and a blinking state. The movable contact 17 is connected to the fixed contact 19 in the off state, the movable contact 17 is connected to the fixed contacts 18 and 19 in the lighting state, and the movable contact 17 is connected to the fixed contacts 19 and 20 in the blinking state.

スライドスイッチ２の光源ケース４側には、円板状の位置決め板２３が本体ケース３の内周面に沿って設けられる。位置決め板２３には、位置決め穴２２が円周方向に形成される。光源ケース４の本体ケース３側には、位置決め穴２２に嵌合する位置決めピン２１が立設される。   A disc-shaped positioning plate 23 is provided along the inner peripheral surface of the main body case 3 on the light source case 4 side of the slide switch 2. In the positioning plate 23, positioning holes 22 are formed in the circumferential direction. A positioning pin 21 that fits into the positioning hole 22 is erected on the body case 3 side of the light source case 4.

位置決め板２３のスライドスイッチ２側には、略円板状のスイッチ摺動部材１が光源ケース４と同軸上に設けられている。スイッチ摺動部材１は、その外周面がスライドスイッチ２の可動接点部材１２に対向する位置に配置され、光源ケース４及び位置決めピン２１と一体に回動するように構成される。   On the slide switch 2 side of the positioning plate 23, a substantially disc-shaped switch sliding member 1 is provided coaxially with the light source case 4. The switch sliding member 1 is arranged at a position where the outer peripheral surface thereof faces the movable contact member 12 of the slide switch 2, and is configured to rotate integrally with the light source case 4 and the positioning pin 21.

スイッチ摺動部材１は、可動接点部材１２の一方の側面に係合可能に形成された係合部１３と、可動接点部材１２の他方の側面に係合可能に形成された係合部１４とを有する。図３（ａ）及び図５（ａ）は、切状態での可動接点部材１２及び係合部１３、１４の配置を示している。   The switch sliding member 1 includes an engaging portion 13 formed to be engageable with one side surface of the movable contact member 12, and an engaging portion 14 formed to be engageable with the other side surface of the movable contact member 12. Have 3A and 5A show the arrangement of the movable contact member 12 and the engaging portions 13 and 14 in the cut state.

このように構成された水中ライト１００の動作を説明する。図５（ｂ）及び図５（ｃ）は、水中ライト１００の動作を説明するための本体ケース３の断面図である。可動接点部材１２の可動接点１７は、固定接点１９に接続されて回路部６は切状態になっているとする。光源ケース４を本体ケースに対して矢印Ａ１方向に回動させると、スイッチ摺動部材１は光源ケース４と一体に回動し、スイッチ摺動部材１の係合部１３はスライドスイッチ２の可動接点部材１２の一方の側面を矢印Ａ３方向に押して摺動させ、位置決め穴２２の一端に当接した位置決めピン２１により位置決めされる。そして、スライドスイッチ２の可動接点１７が固定接点１８及び１９に接続して発光ダイオード７が点灯状態になる。   The operation of the underwater light 100 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C are cross-sectional views of the main body case 3 for explaining the operation of the underwater light 100. It is assumed that the movable contact 17 of the movable contact member 12 is connected to the fixed contact 19 and the circuit unit 6 is in a cut state. When the light source case 4 is rotated with respect to the main body case in the direction of arrow A1, the switch sliding member 1 rotates integrally with the light source case 4, and the engaging portion 13 of the switch sliding member 1 is movable of the slide switch 2. One side surface of the contact member 12 is pushed and slid in the direction of the arrow A <b> 3, and the contact member 12 is positioned by the positioning pin 21 in contact with one end of the positioning hole 22. Then, the movable contact 17 of the slide switch 2 is connected to the fixed contacts 18 and 19, and the light emitting diode 7 is turned on.

光源ケース４を逆の矢印Ａ２方向に回動させると、係合部１３は可動接点部材１２の一方の側面から離れ、可動接点部材１２の他方の側面を係合部１４が矢印Ａ４方向に押して摺動させ、可動接点部材１２を元の切状態の位置に戻す。さらに矢印Ａ２方向に光源ケース４を回動させると、係合部１４はさらに可動接点部材１２を摺動させ、位置決め穴２２の他端に当接した位置決めピン２１により位置決めされる。そして、スライドスイッチ２の可動接点１７が固定接点１９及び２０に接続して発光ダイオード７が点滅状態になる。   When the light source case 4 is rotated in the reverse arrow A2 direction, the engaging portion 13 is separated from one side surface of the movable contact member 12, and the engaging portion 14 pushes the other side surface of the movable contact member 12 in the arrow A4 direction. Slide the movable contact member 12 back to the original position. When the light source case 4 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow A2, the engaging portion 14 is further slid by the movable contact member 12, and is positioned by the positioning pin 21 in contact with the other end of the positioning hole 22. Then, the movable contact 17 of the slide switch 2 is connected to the fixed contacts 19 and 20, and the light emitting diode 7 is in a blinking state.

このように、高い防水性能を確保しながら、光源ケース４を回動させるという容易な操作でスライドスイッチを動作させることができる。   In this way, the slide switch can be operated by an easy operation of rotating the light source case 4 while ensuring high waterproof performance.
