In addition, the construction material in which the lighting fixture 1 is installed is not limited to a wall, and the lighting fixture 1 may be installed in construction materials other than walls, such as a ceiling and a floor.

  The light source unit 3 includes two LED modules 4, a lighting device 5, a housing 6, a cover 7, and two end members 8 as shown in FIGS. 7 to 10.

  Each of the two LED modules 4 includes an LED (Light Emitting Diode) 40, an LED substrate 41 on which a plurality of LEDs 40 are mounted on the front surface, a plurality of receptacle connectors 42 mounted on the front surface of the LED substrate 41 And the electric wire 43 of However, in the present embodiment, the cover 7 is a component of the LED module 4.

  The LED substrate 41 is formed of, for example, a resin insulating substrate such as a glass cloth base epoxy resin substrate in a long rectangular flat plate whose longitudinal direction is the left and right direction. However, the two LED substrates 41 have different longitudinal dimensions. Therefore, in the following description, the LED module 4 with the longer dimension in the longitudinal direction of the LED substrate 41 is referred to as the first LED module 4A, and the LED module 4 with the shorter dimension in the longitudinal direction of the LED substrate 41 is It may be called 2 LED module 4B. The LED module according to the present embodiment is the first LED module 4A. The substrate according to the present embodiment is the LED substrate 41 of the first LED module 4A.

Two receptacle connectors 42A and 42B among the four receptacle connectors 42A to 42D are separately mounted on the upper and lower sides of the LED 40 on the front surface of the right end of the LED substrate 41 of the first LED module 4A.

  The remaining two receptacle connectors 42C and 42D are vertically aligned on the lower side of the LED 40 at the front of the longitudinal center of the LED substrate 41 of the first LED module 4A. However, the two receptacle connectors 42C and 42D are mounted offset in the left-right direction (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

  In the LED board 41 of the first LED module 4A, three slits 44 (44A, 44B, 44C) are aligned in the lateral direction at the lower end portion closer to the center (rightward) than the two receptacle connectors 42C, 42D. Provided (see FIGS. 10 and 11). Electric wires 43 (two electric wires 43C and 43D described later) are inserted into the three slits 44 respectively.

  The slit 44A at the left end (hereinafter also referred to as a first slit) is formed in an L shape. The open end 440 of the first slit 44 A is provided at the lower edge of the LED substrate 41. The closed end 441 of the first slit 44A is provided on the LED substrate 41 on the right side of the open end 440 of the first slit 44A (see FIG. 11). In other words, the first slit 44A is formed in the LED substrate 41 so that the open end 440 of the first slit 44A approaches the two receptacle connectors 42C and 42D with respect to the closed end 441 of the first slit 44A. There is.

  The central slit (hereinafter also referred to as second slit) 44B and the slit at the right end (hereinafter also referred to as third slit) 44C are both formed in a rectangular shape. Both the open end 440 of the second slit 44 B and the open end 440 of the third slit 44 C are provided at the lower edge of the LED substrate 41. Further, the closed end 441 of the second slit 44B and the closed end 441 of the third slit 44C are both provided near the center of the LED substrate 41 (see FIG. 11).

  Two receptacle connectors 42 (42E, 42F) are mounted on the front surface of the LED substrate 41 of the second LED module 4B. The two receptacle connectors 42E and 42F are separately mounted on the upper and lower sides of the LED 40 on the front surface of the left end portion of the LED substrate 41 of the second LED module 4B.

  One electric wire 43A among the plurality (four in the illustrated example) of electric wires 43 (43A, 43B, 43C, 43D) is a receptacle connector 42A of the first LED module 4A and a receptacle connector 42E of the second LED module 4B. And are electrically connected (see FIG. 10).

  Also, the electric wire 43B electrically connects the receptacle connector 42B of the first LED module 4A and the receptacle connector 42F of the second LED module 4B. That is, the plurality of LEDs 40 of the first LED module 4A and the plurality of LEDs 40 of the second LED module 4B are electrically driven by two electric wires 43A, 43B and four receptacle connectors 42A, 42B, 42E, 42F. It is connected.

  One electric wire 43C out of the remaining two electric wires 43C and 43D electrically connects the receptacle connector 42C of the first LED module 4A to the plug connector 45. Another electric wire 43D electrically connects the receptacle connector 42D of the first LED module 4A and the plug connector 45 (see FIG. 10). Here, each of the two electric wires 43C and 43D is a coated electric wire configured by coating an insulator such as a vinyl resin on a conductor made of a single wire or a stranded wire. The surface of the insulator of each of the two electric wires 43C and 43D is separately colored in two different colors (for example, white and black) in order to distinguish positive and negative poles. And the electric wire 43D in which the surface of the insulator is colored white among the two electric wires 43C and 43D is closer to the LED 40 than the wire 43C in which the surface of the insulator is colored black (LED substrate 41 Center position in the short direction (see FIG. 10).

  The two electric wires 43C and 43D are inserted from the front to the rear in the left end first slit 44A, and then from the rear to the front in the center second slit 44B, and further the third slit in the right end It is inserted through 44C from the front to the rear (see FIG. 10). Since the first slit 44A is formed in an L shape, the bending angle of the wires 43C and 43D becomes smaller in the state of being inserted into the first slit 44A, and occurs in the wires 43C and 43D in accordance with the bending angle. The bending stress can be reduced. As a result, in the first LED module 4A, the stress applied from the electric wires 43C and 43D to the receptacle connectors 42C and 42D can be reduced, and deterioration of the joint portion between the receptacle connectors 42C and 42D and the LED substrate 41 can be suppressed. .

Therefore, in the first LED module 4A, the wires 43C and 43D inserted through the first slit 44A can be separated from the open end 440 of the first slit 44A. As a result, in the first LED module 4A, the wires 43C and 43D inserted into the first slit 44A are difficult to move from the open end 440 of the first slit 44A to the outside of the first slit 44A.

  Here, the LED substrate 41 tensions the two electric wires 43C and 43D by inserting the second and third slits 44B and 44C into even number (two) slits. Therefore, the LED substrate 41 can reduce the stress applied from the electric wires 43C and 43D to the receptacle connectors 42C and 42D, and can suppress the deterioration of the bonding portion between the receptacle connectors 42C and 42D and the LED substrate 41.

Insert it. Subsequently, the worker inserts the two electric wires 43C and 43D through the second slit 44B from the rear of the LED substrate 41 through the open end 440 of the second slit 44B. Furthermore, the worker inserts the two electric wires 43C and 43D through the third slit 44C from the front of the LED substrate 41 through the open end 440 of the third slit 44C. As described above, the worker can insert the wires 43C and 43D through the slits 44A to 44C through the open ends 440 of the slits 44A to 44C. There is no need to insert through 44C. As a result, it is possible to improve the workability of the work of inserting the electric wires 43C and 43D into the slits 44A to 44C.

Furthermore, the worker connects the first power supply line 52 connected to the first power supply connector 53 to the first terminal block 51 of the lighting device 5, and lights up the signal cable 504 connected to the second signal connector 506. It is connected to the control connector 502 of the device 5.

  Next, the worker stores the lighting device 5 and the cover 7 containing the LED substrate 41 in the housing 6. First, the operator inserts the hooking portion 73 of the cover 7 from the left end of the housing 6, engages the hooking portion 73 with the engagement projection 64 of the housing 6, and attaches the cover 7 to the housing 6. Further, the operator causes the pair of projections 841 of the first end member 8A to be engaged from behind with the pair of engagement holes 507 provided at the left end of the circuit board 50. The operator inserts the upper and lower ends of the circuit board 50 of the lighting device 5 into the engagement grooves 63 of the housing 6 from the left end of the housing 6 and ends the circuit board 50 in the engagement grooves 63 of the housing 6 Parts are attached and the lighting device 5 is attached to the housing 6 (see FIGS. 7 and 8). Further, the worker inserts the engagement protrusion 850 provided on the outer side surface of the pair of side plate portions 85 of the first end member 8A into the engagement groove 63 of the housing 6, and the engagement groove of the housing 6 The engagement protrusion 850 of the first end member 8A is engaged with the attachment 63 to attach the first end member 8A to the left end of the housing 6. In addition, the worker inserts the front end portions of the side walls 61 of the housing 6 into the space generated between the pair of protrusions 86 of the first end member 8A and the pair of leg portions 71 of the cover 7.

  Subsequently, the worker inserts the right end of the cover 7 between the pair of side surface portions 831 and the projection 86 in the second end member 8B. Further, the worker inserts the engagement protrusion 850 provided on the outer side surface of the pair of side plate portions 85 of the second end member 8B into the engagement groove 63 of the housing 6, and the engagement groove of the housing 6 The engagement protrusion 850 of the second end member 8B is engaged with the third end member 63 to attach the second end member 8B to the right end of the housing 6.

  Finally, the operator screws the end member 8 to the housing 6. Specifically, the worker inserts the fixing screw 800, which is a tapping screw, into the through hole 600 provided at the left end of the bottom wall 60 of the housing 6. Then, the operator screws the first end member 8A to the housing 6 by screwing the fixing screw 800 inserted into the through hole 600 into the screwing portion 840 of the first end member 8A (FIG. 7). reference). Similarly, the worker inserts the fixing screw 800, which is a tapping screw, into the through hole 600 provided at the right end of the bottom wall 60 of the housing 6. Then, the operator screws the second end member 8B to the housing 6 by screwing the fixing screw 800 inserted into the through hole 600 into the screwing portion 840 of the second end member 8B (FIG. 7). reference).

  The assembly operation of the light source unit 3 is completed by the above-described procedure. However, the above-described assembly procedure is an example, and it is also possible to change the order of some procedures.

  By the way, a part of the electric wires 43C and 43D for supplying power to the LED module 4 from the lighting device 5 is disposed on the front surface of the LED substrate 41. Therefore, a part of the light emitted from the LED 40 is reflected by the surfaces of the wires 43C and 43D (the coated surface of the coated wire). Therefore, if the reflectance of the coated surface of the coated wire is much lower than the reflectance of the front surface of the LED substrate 41, the shadow of the wires 43C and 43D may be visible through the cover main body 70. Therefore, in the LED module (first LED module 4A) of the present embodiment, the wire 43D whose covering surface is white is arranged at a position close to the LED 40, thereby making the shadow of the wires 43C and 43D difficult to see.

  Here, in the light source unit 3, the material (polycarbonate resin) forming the cover 7 and the material (PBT resin) forming the end member 8 are different, and the dimension in the longitudinal direction of the cover 7 is the longitudinal direction of the end member 8 It is considerably larger (longer) than the size of. Therefore, in the light source unit 3, the expansion amount of the cover 7 during the lighting of the LED module 4 is considered to be larger than the expansion amount of the end member 8. Therefore, if the first end portion 81 and the end of the cover 7 are in contact with each other in a state in which the LED module 4 is turned off, the cover 7 and the first end are expanded when the cover 7 expands while the LED module 4 is lit. Excessive stress may occur in the end portion 81.

  Therefore, in the light source unit 3, the dimensions and the like of the cover 7 are designed such that a slight gap (for example, 1 mm to 2 mm) is left between the first end 81 and the end of the cover 7 at normal temperature. Therefore, even if the cover 7 thermally expands during lighting of the LED module 4, the end portion of the cover 7 hardly contacts the first end portion 81, so excessive stress may occur in the cover 7 and the first end portion 81 The sex can be greatly reduced. However, if there is a gap between the end of the cover 7 and the first end portion 81, foreign matter such as dust or insects penetrates the gap into the light source unit 3 (in the space surrounded by the cover 7 and the LED module 4). There is a risk of

  Therefore, in the light source unit 3, the seal portions 30 are respectively disposed between the first end portions 81 of the end members 8A and 8B and the both end portions of the cover 7 (FIGS. 7 and 10). The seal portion 30 is formed in, for example, a substantially semicircular ring shape by silicone rubber (see FIG. 10). The seal portion 30 seals the gap between the first end portion 81 and the cover 7 by bringing the seal into close contact with the first end portion 81 and the cover 7 (see FIG. 7). The seal portion 30 seals the gap between the first end portion 81 and the cover 7, thereby suppressing the entry of foreign matter into the light source unit 3 and stress generated in the end portion of the cover 7 and the first end portion 81 at the time of thermal expansion. Can be reduced.

  Next, the construction procedure of the lighting fixture 1 will be described.

  A worker who performs construction work first attaches the tool body 2 to a construction material (for example, a wall). The operator inserts a mounting screw such as a wood screw into the pair of mounting holes 206 of the main body 20 to screw the main body 20 to the wall.

  Subsequently, the worker inserts the housing 6 of the light source unit 3 into the main body 20 from the front. The operator bends the pair of displacement portions 211 of the support member 21 outward by pushing the engaging portions 210 of the support member 21 at the upper and lower end portions of the rear end of the housing 6. Then, the second displacement piece 211 B of the displacement portion 211 and the engagement portion 210 pass through the opening 203 of the side portion 201 and are displaced out of the side portion 201. However, the displacement of the second displacement piece 211B and the engagement portion 210 is regulated by the regulation portion 204 (the regulation piece 2040).

  The worker resists the spring force (pressing force) of the spring portion 212 even after the pressing surface 2120 of the spring portion 212 of the support member 21 comes in contact with the rear surface of the housing 6 of the light source unit 3. Insert 6 Then, when the engaging portion 210 of the support member 21 reaches the recess 610 of the side wall 61, the displaced displacement portion 211 returns to the original state. Then, when the worker releases the light source unit 3, the housing 6 pressed by the spring portion 212 moves forward, and the engaging portion 210 of the support member 21 engages with the engaged portion 62 of the housing 6. Match. In this manner, the worker causes the casing 6 to be supported by the pair of support members 21 and attaches the light source unit 3 to the main body portion 20.

  As described above, the worker can attach the light source unit 3 to the instrument body 2 without using a tool such as a driver. Therefore, the lighting fixture 1 can aim at shortening of the working time which an installation requires.

  Here, the engaged portion 62 is provided over the entire length of the side wall 61 in the longitudinal direction, and is formed wider than the engaging portion 210 in the longitudinal direction of the housing 6. Therefore, the engaging portion 210 and the engaged portion 62 are movably engaged with each other along the longitudinal direction of the side wall 61. That is, the housing 6 of the light source unit 3 is supported by the support member 21 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 20 of the tool main body 2 with respect to the tool main body 2. As described above, since the housing 6 is supported by the support member 21 so as to be movable along the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 20, excessive stress is applied to the housing 6 from the support member 21 when the housing 6 is thermally expanded. It can be prevented from being applied. However, the movement range of the casing 6 of the light source unit 3 (the movement range of the engaging portion 210 with respect to the engaged portion 62) is limited to the range in which the engaging portion 210 does not contact the second end portion 82 of the end member 8. . That is, in the lighting fixture 1 of the present embodiment, the second end portion 82 of the end member 8 corresponds to a restricting portion that restricts the moving range of the engaging portion 210.

  Next, the illumination system 10 of the present embodiment will be described. The lighting system 10 comprises a plurality of lighting fixtures 1. However, the plurality of lighting fixtures 1 included in the lighting system 10 includes several types of lighting fixtures 1 having different longitudinal sizes (total lengths). For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the lighting system 10 includes a lighting fixture 1 (1A) of a standard length and a lighting fixture 1 (1B) having a length twice as long as the standard length. However, the two luminaires 1A and 1B have substantially the same configuration except that the size (total length) in the longitudinal direction is different.

  The two luminaires 1A and 1B are arranged in a line along the longitudinal direction. Here, the device body 2 of the lighting device 1A and the device body 2 of the lighting device 1B are connected by the connecting portion 205 provided on the main body portion 20 of each device body 2. The connecting portions 205 provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 20 are symmetrical with respect to a center line along the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 20. Therefore, when the connecting portions 205 of the respective main body portions 20 engage with each other in the vertical direction and the left and right direction, the two main body portions 20 can be mechanically connected to each other in a line along the longitudinal direction. .

  And each light source unit 3 of lighting fixtures 1A and 1B is attached to each main-body part 20 fixed to the wall. In this case, the second power supply connector 56 of the lighting fixture 1A and the first power supply connector 53 of the lighting fixture 1B are electrically connected (FIG. 16). That is, alternating current power is supplied to the two lighting fixtures 1A and 1B by the feed wiring of the power supply line. Further, the first signal connector 505 of the lighting fixture 1A and the second signal connector 506 of the lighting fixture 1B are electrically connected. That is, the control signal is transmitted to the two lighting devices 1A and 1B by the feed wiring of the signal line.

  Here, at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the light source unit 3, the end of the cover 7 and a part of the end member 8 protrude outside the housing 6. Furthermore, the side portions 201 of the main body portion 20 are disposed outside the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the housing 6. That is, the moving ranges of the first power connector 53 and the second power connector 56 electrically connected to each other, and the first signal connector 505 electrically connected to each other and the second signal connector 506 in the vertical direction Regulated by a pair of sides 201. Therefore, when viewed from the front, the first power connector 53, the second power connector 56, the first signal connector 505, and the second signal connector 506 do not protrude outside the fixture body 2, and the appearance quality of the lighting system 10 is improved. It can improve. Moreover, in the luminaire 1 (1A; 1B), a component for restricting the movement range of the first power supply connector 53 and the like is not necessary, so components other than the device body 2 and the light source unit 3 are required. The workability of the construction work can be improved as compared with the case.

  The lighting system 10 also has an input fitting 11 and a termination fitting 12.

  As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the wire fitting 11 includes a base metal 110, a wire entry cover 111, and a fixing screw 112.

And a projecting piece 1103 that projects in parallel with 1101 (see FIG. 18). In addition, an internal thread portion 1104 is provided on the projecting piece 1103.

  The fixing plate 1100 has a screw insertion hole formed of a long hole. The mounting screw inserted into the mounting hole 206 of the main body 20 is also inserted into the screw insertion hole of the fixing plate 1100. That is, the fixing plate 1100 is fixed to the bottom portion 200 of the main body portion 20 by the mounting screw. The back plate 1101 is disposed outside the main body 20.

  The vertical plate 1102 is provided with a first wire insertion port 1105 and a second wire insertion port 1106. The first wire insertion opening 1105 is provided on the upper portion of the vertical plate 1102. The second wire insertion port 1106 is provided at the lower part of the vertical plate 1102.

  The input cover 111 includes a flat front plate 1110 and a pair of side plates 1111 that project rearward from the upper end and the lower end of the front plate 1110 (see FIG. 18). A screw insertion hole passes through the front plate 1110. The entry cover 111 is fixed to the base fitting 110 by screwing the fixing screw 112 inserted into the screw insertion hole of the front plate 1110 into the female screw 1104 of the base fitting 110.

  The end fitting 12 includes a base fitting, an end cover 121, and a fixing screw 122 (see FIG. 19). The base fitting has substantially the same configuration as the base fitting 110 of the input wire fitting 11. However, in the base metal fitting of the end fitting 12, the first wire insertion hole and the second wire insertion hole are not provided.

  The end cover 121 has a flat plate-like front plate 1210 and a pair of side plates 1211 protruding rearward from the upper end and the lower end of the front plate 1210, as with the input wire cover 111 of the input wire fitting 11 (FIG. 19). reference). A screw insertion hole passes through the front plate 1210. The end cover 121 is fixed to the base metal fitting by screwing the fixing screw 122 inserted into the screw insertion hole of the front plate 1210 into the female screw portion of the base metal fitting (see FIG. 19).

  Next, the installation procedure of the illumination system 10 will be described in more detail.

  First, a worker who performs construction work arranges all the instrument bodies 2 of a plurality of lighting fixtures 1 (1A; 1B) to be constructionally arranged in a line and fixes them to a construction material (wall). In addition, the worker attaches the base fitting 110 of the wire fitting 11 to the instrument body 2 at one end of the plurality of instrument bodies 2 arranged in a row, and the other of the plurality of instrument bodies 2 arranged in a line Attach the base fitting of the end fitting 12 to the instrument body 2 at the end.

  The operator inserts the power supply cable 13 into the first wire insertion opening 1105 of the base fitting 110 of the input wire fitting 11 and inserts the signal cable 14 for control signal into the second electric wire insertion slot 1106 of the base fitting 110. The power supply cable 13 is connected to an external power supply (for example, a commercial power system). However, a plug connector having the same structure as that of the first power connector 53 is connected to the end of the power cable 13. Further, the signal cable 14 is connected to a controller that is a transmission source of the control signal. However, a plug connector having the same structure as that of the second signal connector 506 is connected to the end of the signal cable 14.

  Subsequently, the worker locks the tip end portion of the cord held by the cord holding bracket 822 of the light source unit 3 to the cord locking portion 208 of the instrument main body 2 to which the base metal fitting 110 is attached. That is, the worker prevents the falling of the light source unit 3 during work by connecting the light source unit 3 and the instrument body 2 with a string.

  The worker connects the plug connector connected to the end of the power supply cable 13 inserted into the first electric wire insertion port 1105 to the second power supply connector 56 of the light source unit 3. Further, the worker connects the plug connector connected to the tip of the signal cable 14 inserted into the second wire insertion port 1106 to the first signal connector 505 of the light source unit 3.

  The worker rotates the light source unit 3 after inserting the end of the housing 6 on the side where the second power connector 56 and the first signal connector 505 of the light source unit 3 are arranged into the main body 20 of the instrument main body 2 The entire case 6 is inserted into the main body portion 20 while being moved. Then, the worker attaches the light source unit 3 to the instrument body 2 so that the housing 6 is supported by the two support members 21 of the instrument body 2.

  Subsequently, the worker connects the second power supply connector 56 of the second light source unit 3 to the first power supply connector 53 of the light source unit 3 attached to the tool main body 2 first. In addition, the worker connects the first signal connector 505 of the second light source unit 3 to the second signal connector 506 of the light source unit 3 attached to the tool body 2 first.

  The operator inserts the end of the case 6 on the side where the second power supply connector 56 and the first signal connector 505 of the second light source unit 3 are arranged into the main body 20 of the second instrument main body 2 After that, the entire housing 6 is inserted into the main body 20 while the second light source unit 3 is rotated. Then, the worker attaches the second light source unit 3 to the second device body 2 so that the housing 6 is supported by the two support members 21 of the second device body 2. Then, the operator attaches the light source units 3 corresponding to the respective instrument bodies 2 one by one to each of the plurality of instrument bodies 2 while repeating the above-described procedure.
