Description

  The present invention relates to a power saving switch device for a fluorescent lamp, in which a lighting state of a fluorescent tube can be controlled via a terminal pin of the fluorescent tube.

  In recent years, effective use of energy resources, suppression of carbon dioxide emissions, and the like have been performed, and environmental conservation measures have been promoted. As part of that, power saving measures also play an important role.

  Conventionally, most power saving measures have been taken to reduce the overall power consumption of houses, factories, and the like, and no power saving measures have been implemented in individual fine units. In addition, even if it is done, most of them require large-scale construction.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a power-saving switch device that allows attention to be given to each fluorescent lamp so that anyone can easily take power-saving measures in finer units without construction.

  In order to achieve the above object, this invention provides a first electrode on an inner peripheral side in contact with the terminal pin on an insulating auxiliary member covering a terminal pin of a fluorescent lamp, and a second electrode on an outer peripheral side. An electrode is provided, and switch means for turning on and off the first and second electrodes is provided at a position where the first and second electrodes are electrically extended.

  With the above means, if the switch is turned on and off, it is possible to turn on and off the fluorescent lamps one by one simply by inserting the switch in the fluorescent tube without any construction.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a commercial power supply terminal to which commercial power is supplied. On the other hand, reference numeral 30 indicated by a chain line indicates a terminal pin of the fluorescent lamp 20. In the present invention, the terminal pin 30 is covered with an insulating auxiliary member 40. A first electrode 41 is provided on the inner peripheral side of the insulating auxiliary member 40. A second electrode 42 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the insulating auxiliary member 40.

  The insulating auxiliary member 40 has an elastic force. A flange 45 is formed at one end of the insulating auxiliary member 40. The first electrode 41 and the second electrode 42 extend on a part of the flange 45, and one ends of lead wires 51 and 52 are connected to the extended portions 41a and 42a, respectively. ing. The other ends of the lead wires 51 and 52 are connected to one and the other terminals of the switch 60.

  When the switch 60 is turned on, the terminal pin 30 of the fluorescent lamp is connected to the terminal 11 of the commercial power supply. When the switch 60 is turned off, it is disconnected from the terminal 11 of the commercial power supply.

  As a result, even if the normal indoor switch is turned on, if the switch 60 is turned off, the fluorescent lamp 20 will not be turned on (power saving mode).

  FIG. 2 shows an example in which the components of the present invention are applied to two terminal pins 30 of a fluorescent lamp 30, respectively.

  The use of the switches 60 and 61 to turn on and off both pins is for an old type of inverter lighting, and other than that, a switch having only one pin may be used.

  Various modes for operating the switch 60 are possible. In the case of FIG. 3A, a switch 60 is provided near the base of the fluorescent lamp. The switch 60 may be turned on and off remotely using an infrared remote controller or the like. On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 3B, the operation string 65 is dropped from the switch 60 so that the operation can be performed from a remote position.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a basic configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. The figure which shows the other example of this invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an operation mode of the switch according to the present invention.
