Description

  The present invention relates to an illuminating device, and more particularly, to an illuminating device provided with an alarm means.

  An alarm device that notifies a preset time is an essential product for daily life. However, the alarm that is most widely used for the alarm function often wakes not only the user but also other people. However, if the acoustic stimulus by the alarm is lowered in order to solve this undesirable situation, there arises a problem that the role cannot be played.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a lighting device that combines a conventional alarm device with a well-known lighting device with a dimming circuit to wake up a user with light before sounding an alarm.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a main light emitting means, a time measuring means for calculating time, a sounding means, and a dimming circuit for adjusting the brightness of the main light emitting means, and sets a preset time. And a control means for controlling the main light emitting means, the timing means, and the sound generation means, the control means from a predetermined time before the preset time to the preset time. Further, the dimming circuit adjusts the brightness of the main light emitting means to be gradually increased, and controls the sounding means to generate sound when the preset time is reached. A lighting device is provided.

  In the illumination apparatus, the control means includes a display panel and buttons for operation, a memory for recording the preset time, and a processor for processing signals for controlling the main light emission means, the timing means, and the sound generation means. It is preferable to have.

  The lighting device preferably further includes a night light provided separately from the main light emitting means.

  In the illumination apparatus, the control means reproduces the data transfer port provided so that audio data can be transferred from another recording medium to the memory, and the audio data transferred to the memory and recorded on the sound generation means. It is preferable to further include a reproducing circuit.

  In the above lighting apparatus, it is preferable that the control unit further includes an audio output port that is connected to another sounding unit and causes the other sounding unit to reproduce the audio data transferred and recorded in the memory.

  In the lighting device, the data transfer port preferably uses a universal serial bus standard interface.

  It is preferable that the lighting device further includes a night light for night illumination.

  According to the above configuration, the present invention can illuminate the user with the brighter light before sounding the alarm, and can also be used as a normal illumination means even when the wake-up function is not used. Can be provided.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the lighting device of the present invention comprises a main light emitting means 2, a sound generating means 6, a time measuring means 7, and a control means 4. The control means 4 includes a dimming circuit 42 for adjusting the brightness of the main light emitting means 2, a display panel / button 43 for operation, an alarm circuit 44 for sounding the sounding means 6, and audio data for the sounding means 6. A digital audio reproduction circuit 45 to be reproduced, a memory 46 for recording various necessary data (for example, a time preset by the display panel / button 43 and audio data to be reproduced by the digital audio reproduction circuit 45), various processes, The processor 47 for executing the control, the data transfer port 48 for transferring the audio data from another recording medium to the memory 46 and recording it, and other sounding means are connected, and the audio data recorded in the memory 46 is connected to the other audio data. And an audio output port 49 to be reproduced by the sound generation means.

  In the present invention, all control relating to the time performed by the control means 4 is based on the time measured by the time measuring means 7. Then, the controller 4 of the present invention causes the dimming circuit 42 to gradually increase the brightness of the main light emitting means 2 between a predetermined time before the preset time and the preset time. Then, when the preset time is reached, the alarm circuit 44 causes the sounding means 2 to sound an alarm.

  The data transfer port 48 can easily transfer audio data from a recording medium such as a hard disk such as a computer to the memory 46 by using a universal serial bus standard interface.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows an illumination device cited as an example of the present invention. The lighting device 10 includes an eggshell-shaped main body housing portion 51, a lamp housing portion 52 that is formed in a light mask 521 that extends from the upper end of the main body housing portion 51 into a substantially tubular shape, and a portion of which can transmit light. It has a case 5 composed of a night light housing portion 53 provided on the opposite side of the housing portion 52.

  The fluorescent lamp 21 as the main light emitting means 2 is disposed in the lamp housing 52, the night light 31 is disposed in the night light housing 53, the display panel / button 43, the data transfer port 48, and the audio output port 49 are the main body. The other part of the control means 4 and the speaker (not shown) as the sounding means 6 are all arranged in the main body accommodating part 51. Further, the lighting device 10 has an electric cord 61 and a plug 62 as power supply means.

  Further, with respect to the panel / button 43, a display panel 430 disposed in the center, an illumination control button 431 disposed above the display panel 430 and extending to the lower end of the lamp housing 52, and a display panel 430 below. There are provided a mode switching button 432 and two general operation buttons 433, 433, 433, and 433 arranged on the left and right sides of the display panel 430. The display panel 430 displays information necessary for setting the state of the lighting device 10 and the alarm time. The operation for the illumination control button 431 is set as follows. When the illumination control button 431 is pressed once, the fluorescent lamp 21 can be switched on / off, and when the illumination control button 431 is pressed twice, the night light 31 can be turned on and the fluorescent lamp 21 can be turned off. Furthermore, if the illumination control button 431 is kept pressed, the brightness of the fluorescent lamp 21 can be adjusted. By pressing the mode switching button 432, the operation functions of the general operation buttons 433, 433, 433, and 433 can be switched. For example, when switching to the alarm setting mode, the alarm time can be set by the general operation buttons 433, 433, 433, and 433. When the mode is switched to the audio playback mode, audio data or files to be played back by the general operation buttons 433, 433, 433, 433, the volume of the speaker, and the like can be set.

  Further, when an alarm time is set in the lighting device 10 and 30 minutes before the alarm time, the control means 4 first turns on the fluorescent lamp 21 and maintains it at 40% of its maximum brightness by the dimming circuit 42. Then, every 5 minutes, the brightness is increased by 10%. When the alarm time is reached, the brightness is maximized, and the alarm circuit 44 causes the speaker as a sounding means to sound an alarm.

  According to the above configuration, the present invention can awaken the user with the brighter light before sounding the alarm, and can be used as a normal lighting means even when the wake-up function is not used, and audio. A multi-functional lighting device having a reproduction function can be provided.

It is a block diagram which shows the structure of this invention. It is a figure which shows the illuminating device mentioned as an example of this invention.
