Description

  The present invention relates to a simple emergency light cartridge connected to a straight tube type LED lamp.

  Conventionally, emergency lighting equipment (hereinafter referred to as emergency lights) installed in buildings and large-scale buildings, buildings with no windows, and evacuation passages that are used by an unspecified number of people at night, The purpose of this emergency light is to evacuate people as safely and smoothly as possible in the event of a power outage due to a fire or the like. There are two types: a battery built-in type that is lit by a storage battery built in in an emergency, and a power source separate type that is lit by an emergency power source outside the appliance. In addition to being usable as general lighting, there are a combination type that is lit by a storage battery or an emergency power source in an emergency, and a dedicated type that is lit by a storage battery or an emergency power source in an emergency. To be easy to understand, it is a dedicated type that has a circuit structure that is embedded in the ceiling of an elevator hall, corridor, etc. of the building, has a built-in storage battery inside the lamp, and does not normally light but turns on at the same time as a power failure. The lighting time is about 30 minutes or more, and there are many things with a short pull string for inspection outside the lamp. The combination type is easy to understand if the nightlight also serves as an emergency light. Even if each storage battery is discharged, it is automatically charged after energization is resumed. These are often controlled centrally by a switchboard such as a management room. In addition, there is a guide light that is not related to this patent and is required to be installed by the Fire Service Act as an emergency lighting device, but it is a box type that is always lit with a picture of green and white people drawn This also has a built-in storage battery in the lamp so that it can be lit even if a power failure occurs. Many of the light emitters used in the emergency lights are mini-halogen bulbs and krypton bulbs in order to ensure the required illuminance.

  In recent years, LED lamps have spread rapidly, and there are increasing examples of using straight tube LED lamps in the combined type that can be used as general lighting. Incidentally, the pin terminal of the straight tube type LED lamp has many methods that can correspond to the G13 base that is standardly adopted for the conventional fluorescent lamp. Many overseas products also use this method.

  As described in the prior art, the emergency light is very important for disaster prevention in order to evacuate people as safely and smoothly as possible in an emergency such as an earthquake disaster or fire. However, there are quite a few cases where the emergency light is not installed in a small building or store, a small apartment, or a shared part of an apartment even though it is originally required to be installed by the Building Standard Law. The older the building is, the stronger this tendency is. Even if there is improvement guidance from the government, there are many cases where it is left unattended because it requires electric construction expenses, etc., resulting in a fatal accident due to fire. These are overwhelmingly used for conventional fluorescent lamps and are often used as night lights at night. Recently, the case of switching to a straight tube type LED lamp for energy saving is increasing, but the problem for disaster prevention has not been solved. If an earthquake or fire occurred at night in such an environment, there was a risk that the lights would turn off and the lights could not be evacuated, leading to a major disaster.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that conventional fluorescent lamps still used frequently for small buildings and stores, small condominiums and apartments, etc. The purpose is to provide a wide range of simple emergency light cartridges that can be connected to straight tube type LED lamps used in special type LED fixtures.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention has selected means for securely locking and connecting the simple emergency light cartridge to the straight tube type LED lamp. The reason for the connection type cartridge type is that the replacement of a lithium ion battery or the like, which will be described later, and the difference in product life between the straight tube type LED lamp and the simple emergency light cartridge are taken into consideration. However, since the straight tube type LED lamp needs to be as short as the actual length of the simple emergency light cartridge, it becomes a dedicated product for the simple emergency light cartridge.

  Applying the safe connection mechanism of the cartridge housing for straight tube type LED lamps characterized by having a locking structure using pin terminals, and after connection, it looks like a single straight tube LED lamp Lighting controller with built-in power-off signal due to normal switch-off or power failure that can be installed in the terminal socket of a conventional fluorescent lamp fixture or a straight tube LED lamp fixture with external dedicated power supply A simple emergency light cartridge connected to a straight tube type LED lamp, which is characterized by the fact that the LED emergency light unit is lit for a certain period of time by a built-in lithium ion battery and can be fully charged automatically after discharging. And

  In other words, when the appliance is turned off, the LED emergency light unit is automatically turned on for a certain period of time. If the main power is turned off for a normal emergency light, the built-in battery or the emergency power supply outside the appliance The idea is basically different from the case of lighting for the first time by the separate power supply type. The lighting time of the LED emergency light unit can be set from several minutes to several tens of minutes, but when the battery is discharged for a certain time, the lithium ion battery is constantly charged while monitoring full charge. The idea of lighting automatically for a certain period of time when the power is turned off is also in the interior lamps of some automobiles, and even if the door is closed when getting out of the car, the interior lights will continue to be lit automatically for several tens of seconds. There are several reasons for adopting this method, such as convenience at night and security.

The simple emergency light cartridge to be connected to the straight tube type LED lamp of the present invention has a locking structure already filed by the applicant of the present patent application, and has a safe structure for a cartridge case for a straight tube type LED lamp. Although the connection mechanism (Patent Document 1) is applied, it has a new structure and function in order to realize the function described in the previous stage.
Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-200849

  The power supply method to the simple emergency light cartridge connected to the straight tube LED lamp is branched from the power supply wiring to the straight tube LED lamp. The charger unit that can charge the lithium-ion battery and monitor full charge because it is alternating current must be able to rectify to direct current, but in this case the straight tube LED lamp used has a built-in lighting circuit with DC power supply To do. When power is supplied to the straight tube type LED lamp from an external DC dedicated power supply, the rectification function of the charger unit is not necessary.

  Note that there are three types of straight tube LED lamps that can be directly mounted on the conventional fluorescent lamp fixtures, which are built-in DC power sources and are called existing ballast connection types. That is, a magnetic starter type, a rapid start type, and an inverter type. However, it is necessary to remove the glow tube.

  The lighting controller lighting time setting can be adjusted with a digital timer, but we want to light it for at least 5 minutes for emergency use. This is because it is at least effective for evacuation if it is possible to secure this time. The LED emergency light unit always lights up even when the power is turned off, but the amount of electricity used is negligible in about 5 minutes. Moreover, the lithium-ion battery is advantageous in that it is long-lasting if it is periodically discharged and repeatedly charged. If the lithium ion battery is a cylindrical battery type, 18650 type battery with a voltage of 3.7 V and an electric capacity of about 200 mAh per battery is required. However, since there is a size of the simple emergency light cartridge and there is also the charging unit, the lithium ion battery will be one. Of course, a flat battery can be used if space permits.

  The illuminance of the LED unit installed in the LED emergency light unit is set to a minimum of 150 LM per unit although it depends on the size of the installation location. Select the LED according to this value and decide the number of LED mounted.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, a simple emergency light cartridge connected to the straight tube type LED lamp that can be used as it is even in the conventional fluorescent lamp apparatus that is often used even without the dedicated emergency light. And can respond immediately in case of an emergency when power is lost, and has a large disaster prevention effect at a relatively low cost. In addition, the same effect can be obtained with a slight change of the components in the simple emergency light cartridge even in a type in which power is supplied to the straight tube type LED lamp from a straight tube type LED dedicated device having the DC dedicated power supply outside.

  Since it is a connectable cartridge type as described above, there is a large difference in product life between the replacement of the lithium ion battery or the like, and the parts of the cartridge connected to the straight tube type LED lamp and the straight tube type LED lamp. So it is easy to repair and replace, and has economic rationality.

  It is a function that the LED emergency light unit is turned on for a certain period of time by the lithium-ion battery as soon as it is sensed by the built-in lighting controller and a power-off signal due to a normal switch-off or power outage. There are various conveniences that do not.

  An embodiment of a simple emergency light cartridge 1 connected to a straight tube type LED lamp of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a circuit block diagram of a simple emergency light cartridge 1 connected to the straight tube type LED lamp of the present invention when the conventional fluorescent lamp fixture 8 is used. A portion surrounded by a dotted line is a circuit block diagram built in the simple emergency light cartridge main body 3. When the conventional fluorescent lamp fixture 8 is used as it is, the power supply is an alternating current, so the charger unit 12 that can charge the lithium ion battery 11 and monitor the full charge must be rectified to a direct current. The straight tube type LED lamp 2 to be used has a built-in lighting circuit having the DC power source. The lighting time setting of the lighting controller 10 can be adjusted with a digital timer, but it is desired to light for at least 5 minutes for emergency use. If the lithium ion battery 11 is a cylindrical battery type, it is 18650 type, a voltage of 3.7 V, and a battery with an electric capacity of about 220 mAh per battery are the minimum required. However, since the size of the simple emergency light cartridge main body 3 is also provided and the charger unit 12 is also provided, the lithium ion battery 11 will be one. Of course, a flat battery can be used if space permits.

  The illuminance of the LED emergency light unit 6 is set at least 150 LM per unit for the time being, although it depends on the size of the installation place. A suitable LED is selected according to this value and the number of LEDs mounted is determined.

  FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram of the simple emergency light cartridge 1 connected to the straight tube type LED lamp of the present invention in the case of using the straight tube type LED dedicated device 9 having a DC dedicated power source outside. In this case, the rectification function of the charger unit 12 is unnecessary.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a concept representing an embodiment of the present invention as a front view. It has a new structure and function to realize the function described in claim 1. Applying the secure connection mechanism 5 of the straight tube type LED lamp cartridge housing characterized by having a locking structure, after connection, it looks as if the single straight tube LED lamp 2 The pin terminal 4 of the terminal of the simple emergency light cartridge has a structure such that it can be accommodated in the pin terminal socket 14 of the apparatus 8 of the conventional fluorescent lamp or the straight tube type LED dedicated apparatus 9 having the DC dedicated power source outside, A normal switch-off or power-off signal due to a power failure is detected by the built-in lighting controller 10, and the built-in lithium-ion battery 11 immediately turns on the LED emergency light unit 6 for a certain period of time. The simple emergency light cartridge 1 connected to the straight tube type LED lamp is characterized in that it can be fully charged. However, since the straight tube LED lamp 2 needs to be shorter by the substantial length of the simple emergency light cartridge 1 connected to the straight tube LED lamp, the simple emergency light cartridge 1 connected to the straight tube LED lamp is required. It becomes a special product. The LED emergency light unit 6 may be provided with a milky white diffusion cover. The simple emergency light cartridge main body is obtained as a resin injection molded product, but it is desirable that the lithium ion battery 11 be easily replaced. The lighting controller 10 may have a structure in which the lighting time can be set from outside.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the conventional fluorescent lamp apparatus that is often used even without the dedicated emergency light or the straight tube type LED dedicated apparatus having a DC dedicated power source outside the apparatus is used. Although the dedicated straight tube LED lamp is used, a simple emergency light cartridge that can be connected to the straight tube LED lamp that can be used as it is can be obtained. Since it has an effect, it is highly usable in the disaster prevention industry.

It is a circuit block diagram of the simple emergency light cartridge connected to the straight tube | pipe type LED lamp of this invention in the case of using the said fixture of the conventional fluorescent lamp. FIG. 3 is a circuit block diagram of a simple emergency light cartridge connected to a straight tube type LED lamp of the present invention in the case where a straight tube type LED dedicated device having the DC dedicated power source is used outside. It is a figure showing the concept showing the Example of this invention as a front view (part). It is a front view when the Example of this invention is attached to the fixture of the said conventional fluorescent lamp, and the straight tube | pipe type LED fixture which has the said DC power supply outside.
