  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, when lighting to a plant using the illuminating device by solar power generation, lighting can be performed to the plant from the downward direction, achieving compactization of an apparatus.

It is a front view showing an example which applied one embodiment of the present invention to a potted plant. It is an external appearance perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention. It is a system configuration figure of one embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In these figures, the code | symbol 1 shows the lighting apparatus for plant ornamental illumination of this embodiment (it abbreviates to a lighting apparatus hereafter).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the plant ornamental lighting device 1 includes a photovoltaic panel 2 that converts solar energy into electricity, and a secondary battery 3 that stores electric power generated by the photovoltaic panel 2. The light-emitting body 4 which emits light by the power stored in the secondary battery 3 and irradiates the plant with light, the photovoltaic panel 2, the secondary battery 3, and the light-emitting body 4 are mounted An illumination device body 5 (see FIG. 2) is provided, and the photovoltaic panel 2 is mounted on the illumination device body 5 with its light receiving surface facing upward, and the light emitter 4 is made of the light It is configured to be mounted on the lighting device body 5 so that the irradiation direction is directed upward.

  The lighting device body 5 is constituted by a box-shaped base 5a whose upper side is opened and a lid 5b (see FIG. 2) mounted so as to cover the upper opening of the base 5a. A secondary battery 3 is stored.

  In addition, a controller 6 is provided between the photovoltaic panel 2 and the light emitter 4 and the secondary battery 3 to switch between storage of the secondary battery 3 and power supply to the light emitter 4. There is.

  The controller 6 is housed together with the secondary battery 3 in the base 5 a of the lighting device body 5.

  The lid 5b is mounted on the photovoltaic panel 2 in a state in which the light receiving surface is exposed and a panel mounting portion A, and the light emitter 4 in a state in which the light emitting portion is exposed A light emitting body mounting portion B is formed, and the light emitting body mounting portion B is formed to be slightly inclined so as to face the panel mounting portion A side.

  Further, at the lower part of the base 5a of the lighting device body 5, a fixing leg 5c which is tapered as it goes downward is extended downward.

  The lighting device 1 of this embodiment configured as described above is used, for example, for lighting a plant Z planted in a pot X as shown in FIG. It is fixed to the pot X.

  Fixing of the lighting device 1 to the pot X can be easily performed by inserting the fixing leg 5c provided on the base 5a into the soil.

  In the lighting device 1 fixed in this manner, while the solar light can be received, power is generated in the solar power generation panel 2 that receives the solar light, and the controller 6 causes the solar power generation to be performed. The power generated in the panel 2 is sent to the secondary battery 3 and stored.

  Then, when the surroundings become dark, the power generation in the solar power generation panel 2 is stopped, or when the amount of power generation falls below a set value, the controller 6 stops the storage of electricity in the secondary battery 3 and The power stored in the secondary battery 3 is supplied to the light emitter 4.
