  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is not repeated.

  With reference to FIG. 1, the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. Fig.1 (a) is a perspective view which shows the front side of the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention. FIG.1 (b) is a top view which shows the front side of the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the lighting fixture 1 has a substantially disk shape, and includes a main light source unit 20, a sensor 30, a control unit 40, a cover 7, and a panel 9. The exterior member 11 is provided. For example, the lighting fixture 1 is attached to a ceiling wall or a side wall such as a ceiling.

  The main light source unit 20 can switch the lighting state. The main light source unit 20 includes a plurality of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) 20a and a substrate 20b. The plurality of LEDs 20a are mounted on a substantially circular or substantially polygonal substrate 20b. The LED 20a functions as a light emitting element. For example, the main light source unit 20 is an SMD (Surface Mount Device) type. In the SMD type, the LED 20a and the phosphor are integrated into one unit to form an LED chip, and a plurality of LED chips are placed on the mounting surface of the substrate 20b and electrically connected to the conductive pattern of the substrate 20b. This is a type that forms the portion 20. For example, the main light source unit 20 may be a COB (Chip on Board) type. The COB type is a type in which the main light source unit 20 is formed by sealing a plurality of LEDs 20a with a phosphor. The main light source unit 20 may include one LED 20a.

  The cover 7 covers the main light source unit 20. The cover 7 includes a substantially arcuate outer edge and a substantially straight outer edge. For example, the cover 7 diffuses and emits the light emitted from the LED 20a. For example, the cover 7 is formed by molding a resin mixed with a light diffusing material into a plate shape. For example, the cover 7 is formed by providing minute irregularities on the light emitting surface or light incident surface of a transparent plate member. For example, the cover 7 has a color such as white.

  The sensor 30 is a human sensor, for example, and detects infrared rays emitted from a person or an animal. The sensor 30 is disposed at a position different from the main light source unit 20 in plan view. The sensor 30 is exposed from a substantially circular opening 52 formed in the panel 9. The sensor 30 can be switched between an operating state and a non-operating state by a predetermined switching operation. The predetermined switching operation is, for example, a pullless operation. The pullless operation is an operation in which an external switch is switched from an on state to an off state and switched to an on state within a predetermined time range. The predetermined time is, for example, 2 seconds or less.

  The panel 9 includes a substantially inferior arc-shaped outer edge and a substantially straight outer edge. The panel 9 is adjacent to the cover 7, and the panel 9 and the cover 7 form a substantially circular shape. The panel 9 is shielded from light. Although it is preferable that the entire panel 9 is shielded from light, a part of the panel 9 may be shielded from light. For example, the panel 9 is made of a light shielding material or painted with a light shielding paint. The exterior member 11 is substantially cylindrical and forms an exterior of the lighting fixture 1.

  The lighting fixture 1 has two operation modes, a continuous lighting mode and a sensor mode. The continuous lighting mode is a mode in which the main light source unit 20 is continuously turned on. The sensor mode is a mode in which the main light source unit 20 is turned on or off based on the detection result of the sensor 30. Specifically, when the sensor 30 detects that a person is approaching by detecting infrared rays, the luminaire 1 is turned on.

  The control unit 40 controls the sensor 30 and the main light source unit 20. The control unit 40 includes, for example, a microcomputer. The control unit 40 detects a predetermined switching operation. Specifically, when the control unit 40 detects that the time when the supply of power is temporarily stopped by the external switch is within a predetermined time range, the control unit 40 determines that a pullless operation has been performed.

  The control unit 40 controls the sensor 30 so that the sensor 30 is switched to an operating state or a non-operating state by detecting a predetermined switching operation. For example, when the sensor 30 is in a non-operating state, the sensor 30 is switched to an operating state by performing a pullless operation. On the other hand, when the sensor 30 is in the operating state, the sensor 30 is switched to the non-operating state by performing a pullless operation.

  Thus, whenever a pullless operation is performed, the control part 40 switches the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1. FIG. That is, every time a pullless operation is performed, the control unit 40 controls the sensor 30 so that the sensor 30 is switched to an operating state or a non-operating state.

  When detecting a predetermined switching operation, the control unit 40 performs a notification operation indicating that at least one of the switching of the sensor 30 to the operating state or the non-operating state has been performed. The notification operation is, for example, blinking of the main light source unit 20. The number of blinks of the main light source unit 20 is, for example, 3 times. Specifically, the main light source unit 20 repeats switching from all lamps to extinguishing three times. Alternatively, when the light quantity at the time of all lamps is 100%, the switching from “all lights with 100% light quantity” to “lights with 50% light quantity” may be repeated three times. For example, when the control unit 40 detects a pullless operation, the control unit 40 controls the main light source unit 20 to perform a notification operation by blinking the main light source unit 20. Therefore, the user can easily confirm that the sensor 30 has been switched to the operating state or the non-operating state by confirming that the main light source unit 20 blinks.

  With reference to FIG. 2, the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is further demonstrated. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the lighting fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The luminaire 1 includes a power supply circuit 10, a main light source unit 20, a sensor 30, and a control unit 40. The luminaire 1 is connected to the AC power supply 110 via the external switch 120. The external switch 120 is a wall switch. When the external switch 120 is turned on, power is supplied from the AC power source 110 to the lighting fixture 1. On the other hand, when the external switch 120 is turned off, the power supplied from the AC power supply 110 to the lighting fixture 1 is cut off.

  The power supply circuit 10 is connected to the main light source unit 20, the control unit 40, and the sensor 30. The power supply circuit 10 supplies power to the main light source unit 20, the control unit 40, and the sensor 30.

  The control unit 40 is connected to the main light source unit 20 and the sensor 30. The control unit 40 controls the sensor 30 and the main light source unit 20.

  With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the alerting | reporting method of the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a notification method of the lighting fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The notification operation is performed by executing the processing of step S102 to step S112.

  Step S102: The control unit 40 detects a predetermined switching operation. Specifically, the control unit 40 detects that the time when the supply of power is temporarily stopped by the external switch is within a predetermined time range, and the control unit 40 determines that a pullless operation has been performed. When the control unit 40 determines that the pullless operation has been performed, the control unit 40 switches the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1. The process proceeds to step S104.

  Step S104: The control unit 40 determines the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1. The process proceeds to step S106.

  Step S106: The control unit 40 determines whether the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1 is the continuous lighting mode or the sensor mode. When the control unit 40 determines that the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1 is the continuous lighting mode (step S106: continuous lighting mode), the control unit 40 starts switching the sensor 30 to the non-operating state, and the processing is performed. Proceed to step S108. When the control unit 40 determines that the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1 is the sensor mode (step S106: sensor mode), the control unit 40 starts switching to the operation state of the sensor 30, and the process proceeds to step S110.

  Step S108: The main light source unit 20 is controlled so that the main light source unit 20 is continuously lit.

  Step S110: The control unit 40 performs a notification operation. Specifically, the control unit 40 controls the main light source unit 20 to perform a notification operation when the main light source unit 20 blinks. The process proceeds to step S112.

  Step S112: The sensor 30 enters a sensor standby state. Specifically, the sensor 30 is in an operable state, and the sensor 30 is in a state capable of detecting the approach of a person. The process ends.

  As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, in the lighting apparatus 1, when the control unit 40 detects a predetermined switching operation, the control unit 40 switches to the operating state of the sensor 30 (that is, the lighting apparatus 1 A notification operation indicating that the operation mode has been switched to the sensor mode is performed. Therefore, the user can easily confirm that the sensor 30 has been switched to the operating state by confirming the notification operation.

  Moreover, the control part 40 performs alerting | reporting operation | movement after the switch to the operation state of the sensor 30 is performed until the sensor 30 becomes a operable state. Therefore, the user can confirm that switching to the operation state of the sensor 30 has been performed before the sensor 30 becomes operable. As a result, the user can confirm in a relatively short time that the sensor 30 has been switched to the operating state.

  Moreover, the control part 40 controls the main light source part 20 so that the main light source part 20 blinks, and performs alerting | reporting operation | movement. The control unit 40 is originally provided in the lighting fixture 1 for lighting control of the main light source unit 20. Therefore, the function of the notification operation can be added simply by rewriting the software of the control unit 40. Thus, since the control part 40 originally provided in the lighting fixture 1 controls the main light source part 20 and performs a notification operation, an additional part for performing the notification operation is unnecessary, and an increase in cost can be suppressed. . Furthermore, even when the lighting fixture 1 is installed at a high position, it is possible to easily confirm that the sensor 30 has been switched to the operating state without checking a switch provided in the lighting fixture 1. .

  With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the alerting | reporting method of the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a notification method of the lighting fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The notification operation is performed by executing the processing of step S202 to step S216. Except for the point that the main light source unit 20 is forcibly turned on until the sensor 30 is stabilized, the processing is the same as that in the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the processing of step S212 and step S214 is performed between step S210 (corresponding to step S110 shown in FIG. 3) and step S216 (corresponding to step S112 shown in FIG. 3). Done.

  Step S212: The control unit 40 controls the main light source unit 20 so that the main light source unit 20 is forcibly lit during a period until the sensor 30 is stabilized. The process proceeds to step S214.

  Step S214: The control unit 40 controls the main light source unit 20 so that the main light source unit 20 is turned off. The process proceeds to step S216.

  As described above with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the control unit 40 performs a notification operation until the main light source unit 20 is forcibly turned on after the sensor 30 is switched to the operating state. Therefore, the user can confirm that switching to the operation state of the sensor 30 has been performed before the sensor 30 becomes operable. As a result, the user can confirm in a relatively short time that the sensor 30 has been switched to the operating state.

  With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the alerting | reporting method of the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a notification method of the lighting fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The notification operation is performed by executing the processing in steps S302 to S320. In the continuous lighting mode, the processing is the same as that in the flowchart of FIG. 4 except that the main light source unit 20 is turned off after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of lighting, and thus the description of the overlapping portions is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 5, after step S308 (corresponding to step S208 shown in FIG. 4), the processes of step S310 and step S312 are performed.

  Step S310: The control unit 40 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of lighting of the main light source unit 20. For example, the control unit 40 measures the time from the lighting start of the main light source unit 20 by a timer function that counts the time from the lighting start of the main light source unit 20. The predetermined time is, for example, 8 hours. When the control unit 40 determines that a predetermined time has not elapsed since the start of lighting of the main light source unit 20 (step S310: NO), the process returns to step S310 again. When the control unit 40 determines that a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of lighting of the main light source unit 20 (step S310: Yes), the process proceeds to step S312.

  Step S312: The control unit 40 controls the main light source unit 20 so that the main light source unit 20 is turned off. Then, the control unit 40 starts switching the sensor 30 to the non-operating state. The process proceeds to step S320.

  As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 5, in the continuous lighting mode, the control unit 40 turns off the main light source unit 20 after a predetermined time elapses from the start of lighting of the main light source unit 20. Therefore, it is possible to suppress power consumption by automatically turning off the main light source unit 20.

  In the notification method described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, the notification operation is performed when the mode is switched to the sensor mode. However, the notification operation may be performed when the mode is switched to the continuous lighting mode.

  With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 6, the alerting | reporting method of the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a notification method of the lighting fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The notification operation is performed by executing the processing in steps S402 to S412. Except for the point that the notification operation is performed when the mode is switched to the continuous lighting mode, the processing is the same as that of the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the control unit 40 determines in step S406 (corresponding to step S106 shown in FIG. 3) that the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1 is the continuous lighting mode (step S406: continuous lighting mode). ), The process of step S408 is performed.

  Step S408: The control unit 40 performs a notification operation. Specifically, the control unit 40 controls the main light source unit 20 to perform a notification operation when the main light source unit 20 blinks. The process proceeds to step S410.

  As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 6, in the lighting fixture 1, when the control unit 40 detects a predetermined switching operation, the control unit 40 switches to the inoperative state (that is, the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1. Is switched to the continuous lighting mode). Therefore, the user can easily confirm that the sensor 30 has been switched to the non-operating state by confirming the notification operation.

  In the notification method described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6, the notification operation is performed when switching to either the sensor mode or the continuous lighting mode. However, the notification method is switched to either the sensor mode or the continuous lighting mode. The notification operation may also be performed when the alarm occurs.

  With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 7, the alerting | reporting method of the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a notification method of the lighting fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The notification operation is performed by executing the processes in steps S502 to S514. Since it is the same process as the flowchart of FIG. 3 except that the notification operation is performed when switching to the continuous lighting mode and when switching to the sensor mode, there is no overlap. Description of the portion is omitted.

  The notification operation includes a first notification operation and a second notification operation. The first notification operation is, for example, blinking of the main light source unit 20 three times. The second notification operation is different from the first notification operation. The second notification operation is, for example, blinking the main light source unit 20 five times.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the control unit 40 determines in step S506 (corresponding to step S106 shown in FIG. 3) that the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1 is the continuous lighting mode (step S506: continuous lighting mode). ), The process of step S508 is performed. When the control unit 40 determines in step S506 (corresponding to step S106 shown in FIG. 3) that the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1 is the sensor mode (step S506: sensor mode), the process of step S512 is performed. .

  Step S508: The control unit 40 performs a first notification operation. Specifically, the control unit 40 controls the main light source unit 20 to perform the first notification operation when the main light source unit 20 blinks three times. The process proceeds to step S510.

  Step S512: The control unit 40 performs a second notification operation. Specifically, the control unit 40 controls the main light source unit 20 to perform the second notification operation when the main light source unit 20 blinks five times. The process proceeds to step S514.

  As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 7, in the lighting fixture 1, when the control unit 40 determines that the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1 is the continuous lighting mode, the control unit 40 performs the first notification. Perform the action. On the other hand, when it determines with the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1 being a sensor mode, the control part 40 performs 2nd alerting | reporting operation | movement. Therefore, the user can easily confirm whether the operation mode of the lighting fixture 1 has been switched to the continuous lighting mode or the sensor mode by confirming the notification operation. That is, the user can easily confirm whether the sensor 30 has been switched to the activated state or the deactivated state by confirming the notification operation.

  With reference to FIG. 8, the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 8 is a plan view showing the front side of the lighting fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Since the luminaire 1 has the same configuration as that of the luminaire 1 of FIG. 1 except that the luminaire 1 further includes an auxiliary light source unit 60 and a changeover switch 70, the description of the overlapping parts is omitted.

  The lighting fixture 1 further includes an auxiliary light source unit 60 and a changeover switch 70. The auxiliary light source unit 60 is, for example, an LED indicator. The auxiliary light source unit 60 is attached to the panel 9. The auxiliary light source unit 60 has a smaller amount of light than the main light source unit 20. The control unit 40 may perform a notification operation by the auxiliary light source unit 60 when detecting a predetermined switching operation. Specifically, the control unit 40 may perform the notification operation by controlling the auxiliary light source unit 60 so that the auxiliary light source unit 60 is turned on or blinking. The main light source unit 20 and the auxiliary light source unit 60 may have different light colors.

  In the present embodiment, the luminaire 1 performs a notification operation using the auxiliary light source unit 60 having a light amount smaller than that of the main light source unit 20. Therefore, when the lighting fixture 1 is installed outside a house, even if a notification operation is performed at night, it is possible to suppress inconvenience to neighboring houses.

  Further, when a predetermined switching operation is detected, the control unit 40 checks the lighting state of the auxiliary light source unit 60 when the auxiliary light source unit 60 is controlled to perform the notification operation so that the auxiliary light source unit 60 is turned on. Thus, it is possible to easily confirm the current operation mode of the luminaire 1, that is, whether the sensor 30 is currently in an activated state or a non-activated state.

  In the luminaire 1 described with reference to FIG. 1, the operation mode of the luminaire 1 is switched by a pullless operation of the external switch, but the operation mode of the luminaire 1 is switched by switching the changeover switch 70 of the luminaire 1. May be. The changeover switch 70 has a knob 71. The knob 71 is slidable. By sliding the knob 71, the operation mode of the luminaire 1 can be changed. When a switching operation is performed by switching the selector switch 70, the control unit 40 performs a notification operation. Therefore, the user can easily confirm that the sensor 30 has been switched to the activated state or the deactivated state by confirming the notification operation.

  Note that, as described with reference to FIG. 1, in the lighting fixture 1, the notification operation is performed by blinking the main light source unit 20. However, in the present invention, the notification operation may be performed by the main force of sound.

  With reference to FIG. 9, the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 9 is a plan view showing the front side of the lighting fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Since the luminaire 1 has the same configuration as that of the luminaire 1 in FIG. 1 except that the luminaire 1 further includes an audio output unit 80, the description of the overlapping portions is omitted.

  The lighting fixture 1 further includes an audio output unit 80. The audio output unit 80 outputs audio. The audio output unit 80 outputs a buzzer sound, for example. When the control unit 40 detects a predetermined switching operation, the control unit 40 controls the audio output unit 80 so as to perform a notification operation by outputting the audio. Therefore, even when it is difficult to visually check whether the main light source is turned on or off, such as outdoors in the daytime, it can be easily confirmed that the sensor 30 has been switched to the operating state or the non-operating state. .

  In the luminaire 1 described with reference to FIG. 1, the main light source unit 20 has one light source, but the main light source unit 20 may have two light sources.

  With reference to FIG. 10, the lighting fixture 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 10 is a plan view showing the front side of the lighting fixture 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Except for the point that the main light source unit 20 includes the first main light source unit 21 and the second main light source unit 22, the configuration is the same as that of the lighting fixture 1 of FIG. .

  The main light source unit 20 includes a first main light source unit 21, a second main light source unit 22, and a substrate 20b. The first main light source unit 21 includes a plurality of LEDs 21a. The second main light source unit 22 includes a plurality of LEDs 22a. The second main light source unit 22 is disposed on the outer side in the radial direction than the first main light source unit 21. The color temperature of the first main light source unit 21 and the color temperature of the second main light source unit 22 are different, for example.

  The control unit 40 may perform control so that only one of the first main light source unit 21 and the second main light source unit 22 blinks when a predetermined switching operation is detected. Alternatively, the control unit 40 may control the first main light source unit 21 and the second main light source unit 22 to blink alternately when a predetermined switching operation is detected. In addition, or alternatively, the control unit 40 controls the first main light source unit 21 to blink when the sensor 30 is switched to the non-operating state, and the control unit 40 switches the sensor 30 to the non-operating state.

  (1) As described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 8 to 11, in the lighting fixture 1, the sensor 30 is a human sensor, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the sensor 30 may be an illuminance sensor. The illuminance sensor detects the brightness of the environment. The control unit 40 controls the illuminance sensor so that the illuminance sensor is switched to the operating state or the non-operating state by detecting a predetermined switching operation. Moreover, the luminaire 1 may include both a human sensor and an illuminance sensor. When the luminaire 1 is provided with both a human sensor and an illuminance sensor, both sensors are turned on (operated) → only the human sensor is turned on → only the illuminance sensor is turned on → both sensors are turned off (non) The control unit 40 may control the sensor 30 so as to switch to “operation”.

  (2) In the lighting fixture 1 described with reference to FIG. 1, the control unit 40 controls the main light source unit 20 to perform the notification operation by blinking three times, but is not limited thereto. For example, the control unit 40 may control the main light source unit 20 to perform the notification operation by blinking once, twice, or four times or more.

  (3) In the notification method described with reference to FIG. 7, the number of blinks of the main light source unit 20 is different between the first notification operation and the second notification operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the blinking cycle of the main light source unit 20 may be different between the first notification operation and the second notification operation.

  (4) In the lighting fixture 1 described with reference to FIG. 10, the color temperature of the first main light source unit 21 and the color temperature of the second main light source unit 22 are different, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the color temperature of the first main light source unit 21 and the color temperature of the second main light source unit 22 may be the same. Further, the light amount of the first main light source unit 21 and the light amount of the second main light source unit 22 may be different.

  (5) In the luminaire 1 described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 8 to 11, the operation state or the non-operation state of the sensor 30 of one luminaire 1 is switched by a predetermined switching operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Switching to the operation state or the non-operation state of the sensors 30 of the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 may be performed by a predetermined switching operation. For example, in a lighting system including a plurality of lighting fixtures 1, the state of the sensor 30 is switched so that the sensors 30 of the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 are in the same state (operating state or non-operating state) by a predetermined switching operation. May be performed all at once. In this case, each control part 40 of the some lighting fixture 1 performs alerting | reporting operation simultaneously, when predetermined | prescribed switching operation is detected. For example, each main light source part 20 of the some lighting fixture 1 blinks.

  (6) In the luminaire 1 described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 8 to 11, every time a predetermined switching operation is performed, the control unit 40 causes the sensor 30 to alternately switch between the operating state and the non-operating state. Although configured to control the sensor 30 so as to be switched, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a predetermined switching operation is performed, the control unit 40 may be configured to control only switching from the sensor operating state to the non-operating state. Alternatively, when a predetermined switching operation is performed, the control unit 40 may be configured to control only switching from the sensor non-operating state to the operating state.
