Embodiment 1 FIG.
With reference to the drawings, the monitor device 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. The monitor device 100 is lit even when the colors of the monitor LEDs are similar depending on the arrangement of the plurality of monitor LEDs, which are monitor light sources, and the arrangement of the light passing portions 6a, 6b, 6c. Or it is easy to distinguish the blinking monitor LED. The monitor device 100 includes a circuit board 17 that is an arrangement portion and a frame 14 that is a partial outline portion.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the luminaire 1.
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the lighting fixture 1.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the arrangement of the circuit board 17 in the case 15 in the power supply unit 4.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating assembly of the power supply unit 4.

The lighting fixture 1 includes a main body 2, a mounting spring 3, a light source unit 50, and a frame 14. Inside the main body 2, a terminal block 12, a power supply unit 4, and a storage battery 11 are accommodated. The terminal block 12, the power supply unit 4, and the storage battery 11 are arranged inside the main body 2 using a mounting bracket 13.
As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting fixture 1 has an inspection switch and a self-inspection switch. When the inspection switch is pressed, the lighting device 1 is turned on by the storage battery 11. When the self-check switch is pressed, the emergency light performs self-check by the self-check function described later.

<Power supply unit>
The power supply unit 4 includes a case 15, a cover 16, and a circuit board 17. On the mounting surface 17A of the circuit board 17, a monitor LED 42a (red), a monitor LED 42b (green), and a monitor LED 42c (orange) are arranged. In the case 15, openings 156a, 156b, and 156c are formed at positions corresponding to the monitor LED 42a (red), the monitor LED 42b (green), and the monitor LED 42c (orange), respectively. The cover 16 and the case 15 constitute a storage case 82, and the storage case 82 stores the circuit board 17. Light emitted from the monitor LED 42a (red), the monitor LED 42b (green), and the monitor LED 42c (orange) passes through the openings 156a, 156b, and 156c, and passes through portions 6a, 6b, and 6c formed in the frame 14. Pass through. The passage portions 6a, 6b, and 6c correspond to the openings 156a, 156b, and 156c, respectively. That is, the passing portions 6a, 6b, and 6c correspond to the monitor LED 42a (red), the monitor LED 42b (green), and the monitor LED 42c (orange), respectively. For example, the passage portion 6a corresponds to the monitor LED 42a (red). In the first embodiment, the passing portions 6a, 6b, and 6c are openings. However, the passing portions 6a, 6b, and 6c are not limited to openings, and may be “passing portions” that allow light to pass therethrough. For example, a transparent resin may be used.

First, the self-inspection function will be described using an emergency light as an example. The self-inspection function is a function for confirming that the light source of the light source unit 50 can be turned on by the storage battery 11 when an emergency light is pressed in the “self-inspection function” switch. (Rating is 30 minutes, long-time rating is 60 minutes) The emergency light itself automatically confirms whether or not emergency lighting is possible.
In disaster prevention lights (emergency lights or guide lights) with a self-inspection function,
(1) Charging (green),
(2) Under self-inspection (orange)
(3) and lamp abnormality (red)
When displaying with the above-mentioned colored LEDs, red and orange are similar in color, so when lighting or flashing at the same time, they appear to be mixed when the distance is short, and two colors are lit. It is difficult to distinguish between blinking.

FIG. 11 shows a comparative example of the monitor device 100 according to the first embodiment. As an example of the equipment, a built-in type for emergency lighting equipment is shown. An emergency light source (lens 6) is disposed substantially at the center, and the periphery of the lens 6 is covered with a frame 14. Under the emergency light source, each display LED is linearly arranged in the order of red, orange, and green from the left. These correspond to the passing portions 6a, 6b, 6c of the lighting fixture 1 of FIG. In this instrument, the emergency light source is turned on only in an emergency, and during normal use (when AC is energized), the storage battery 11 in the instrument is continuously charged, and the green LED of the charge monitor is lit.
(1) During self-inspection, the orange LED on the self-inspection monitor blinks,
(2) The red LED of the lamp monitor is lit when there is an abnormality such as an open state due to poor connection of the emergency light source. Self-inspection can be performed by pressing the self-inspection switch or using a dedicated remote control, but when the emergency light is discharged after charging for 48 hours or more, check whether the specified time of lighting and securing of the discharge reference voltage have been achieved. .
(3) By pressing a button for confirming whether self-inspection is possible or not on the dedicated remote controller, if the charging state is less than 48 hours, the orange LED of the self-inspection monitor and the red LED of the lamp monitor flash simultaneously.
(4) On the contrary, if the charging state is 48 hours or more, the orange LED of the self-inspection monitor and the green LED of the charging monitor blink simultaneously to notify the inspector.

  Since the orange LED of the self-inspection monitor and the red LED of the lamp monitor are similar in color, they appear mixed when blinking at the same time, making it difficult to distinguish between the two colors blinking. In particular, in the case of a position away from an inspector such as a high ceiling, the degree of color mixture becomes more prominent.

  A monitor device 100 according to the first embodiment is shown in FIG. Except for the arrangement of the display LED colors (monitor LEDs), the configuration is the same as in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the LEDs are arranged in the order of orange, green and red from the left. Since the green color is arranged at the center, the distance between the orange LED and the red LED is increased. Therefore, color mixing at the time of simultaneous blinking is reduced.

  By setting the pitch between adjacent passing portions to 9 mm or more, the degree of color mixing when viewed from a distant position such as a high ceiling can be further reduced. In addition, since the pitch is set to 9 mm or more, the degree of color mixture when the orange LED and the green LED blink is reduced. As an example, an emergency light has been described, but a guide light may be used. The emergency light source may be any illumination such as an LED or a fluorescent lamp.

Further, the description of the monitor device 100 will be continued.
The monitor device 100 is a monitor device 100 that monitors the state of the lighting fixture 1 (FIG. 1) that is a device. The monitor device 100 includes a circuit board 17 that is an arrangement portion, and a frame 14 that is a partial outline portion that forms a part of the outline of the monitor device 100. The circuit board 17 has a monitor LED 42c (orange), which is a first monitor light source that emits light of the first wavelength, and a second monitor light that emits light of the second wavelength longer than the first wavelength. A monitor LED 42a (red) as a light source is arranged. The circuit board 17 includes one or more monitor LEDs that emit light having a wavelength shorter than the first wavelength at a position between the monitor LED 42c (orange) and the second monitor LED 11b (red). An intermediate monitor LED 42b is arranged. The frame 14 is a partial outline portion that forms a part of the outline of the monitor device 100 when viewed as the luminaire 1.

  Here, the value of the first wavelength (orange) is closer to the value of the second wavelength (red) than the value of the wavelength (green) of each intermediate monitor LED. In other words, the color mixing can be reduced by arranging the LEDs having a short wavelength length apart from each other. In FIG. 3, the intermediate monitor LED is one of the monitor LEDs 42b (green), but two or more may be arranged.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the shortest distance between the passing portion 6c of the monitoring LED 42c (orange) and the passing portion 6a of the monitoring LED 42a (red) may be in the range of 14 mm to 16 mm.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the passing portion is not limited to a round shape. Any shape is acceptable as long as light can pass through. FIG. 7 shows a case where the passing portion is a diamond shape.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8, the several passage part does not need to be arranged in a straight line. FIG. 8 shows a case where the central passage portion is shifted upward.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a case where two LEDs, a monitor LED 42c (orange) and a monitor LED 42a (red), are arranged on the circuit board 17. The description so far has been about the arrangement of the passing portions for preventing color mixing, but FIG. 9 relates to the arrangement of the monitoring LEDs on the circuit board 17 for preventing color mixing. Also in the circuit board 17, the shortest distance between the monitor LED 42c (orange) and the monitor LED 42a (red) is 14 mm or more and 16 mm or less. That is, an interval of 14 mm or more is provided to prevent color mixing. In FIG. 9, parts are arranged at intervals. By arranging parts between the monitor LED 42c (orange) and the monitor LED 42a (red), the size in the direction in which the monitor LED 42c (orange) and the monitor LED 42a (red) are arranged is made more compact. it can. That is, when the component is arranged on the right side of the monitor LED 42a (red), it can be arranged at the position of FIG. 9 instead of the right side.

  As described above, the monitor device 100 includes the first monitor LED (orange) that emits light of the first wavelength, and the second monitor that emits light of the second wavelength that is longer than the first wavelength. The light emitted from the monitor LED is provided on each of the circuit board 17, which is an arrangement portion where the LED (red) is arranged, the first monitor LED (orange), and the second monitor LED 11b. It may be configured to include a frame 14 that has a passage portion that passes therethrough and is a partial outline portion that forms a part of the outline of the monitor device 100. As shown in FIG. 10, the shortest distance between the first monitor LED (orange) passage 6c and the second monitor LED (red) passage 6a is in the range of 14 mm to 16 mm.

  As described above, according to the monitoring device 100 of the first embodiment, the monitoring LEDs are arranged according to the arrangement of the plurality of monitoring LEDs that are the monitoring light sources and the arrangement of the light passing portions 6a, 6b, and 6b. Even when the colors are similar, it is easy to distinguish the monitor LED that is lit or blinking.
