Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic lighting device for a Buddhist altar or ossuary, and more specifically, when an infrared sensor is used to detect infrared rays emitted from a human body that has entered the sensor detection area, The present invention relates to an automatic lighting device for a Buddhist altar or an ossuary that is turned on and a timer in the device is activated when a person leaves the sensor detection area, and the illumination lamp is automatically turned off when a predetermined time elapses.

 Our country is a Buddhist country, and the Japanese are people who worship their deceased relatives and ancestors. Many households have Buddhist altars, and in the morning and evening there are many families that ignite candles and incense sticks and pray to relatives and ancestors. It is also customary for relatives to visit the ossuary of Bodoji Temple for yearly affairs and legal matters.

  Conventionally, when praying in the morning and evening at home, lighting and extinguishing of the lamps of the Buddhist altars are performed manually, and the candle is ignited by a match or a lighter. However, with the aging society in recent years, forgetting to turn off the lights of Buddhist altars and candle flames after prayers in each family. Forgetting to turn off the lights is a wasteful use of electric power, and forgetting to turn off the candle flame can cause a fire if, for example, an impact or earthquake occurs.

  The ceiling lights of the ossuary such as a temple are manually turned on by the priest or worshiper at the entrance switch. In addition, the illuminating lamps of each ossuary room arranged in the ossuary are turned on when the door is opened and turned off when the door is closed. However, since there are many relatives, acquaintances or friends who attend the ossuary visit, everyone tends to leave other attendants to close the door. There is a problem that the lamp is left open and the illuminating lamp remains lit for a long time.

  An apparatus for turning on or off an illumination lamp using various sensors has been proposed and disclosed. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2003-272878 “Indoor Lighting System” (Patent Document 1), Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-290979 “Toilet Automatic Lighting Device” (Patent Document 2), and Utility Model Registration 3108695 “Lighting Apparatus” (Patent Document 3). ) Etc.

  Patent Document 1 uses a light sensor to provide light that is reduced to light when the eyes are not used to the user, such as bathrooms that have started to wake up from the dark, and otherwise the same as usual. It provides a highly convenient indoor lighting system.

  In Patent Document 2, when a door opening confirmation switch detects opening of a door using a pressure sensor, lighting in the toilet is turned on, and at the same time, the delay switch is turned on. If the pressure sensor detects the person entering the room within the set time, the delay switch is turned off and the light is kept on.However, if the pressure sensor does not detect the person entering the room within the set time, it is set by the operation of the delay switch. The lights are turned off after a period of time. On the other hand, when the pressure sensor detects that a person has left the room after the lighting is held by the pressure sensor, the delay switch is turned on and the light is turned off after a predetermined time. This series of operations is configured in accordance with instructions from the information processing device.

Patent Document 3 uses a seismic intensity sensor. In a luminaire that provides a control device having a seismic intensity sensor between an illuminating lamp and the power source of the illuminating lamp, and lights the illuminating lamp in conjunction with the seismic intensity sensor, An illumination lamp is formed of LEDs. The control device is provided with a light adjustment circuit that blinks, dims, or brightens the illumination lamp in response to the seismic intensity sensor.

A timer that operates after the person goes out of the detection area of the infrared sensor;
A microcomputer for controlling the output and timer of the infrared sensor;
A storage case for storing the solid state relay, timer, microcomputer, etc. "
Due to the characteristic configuration that is difficult to come up with in this industry,
Using an infrared sensor that detects infrared rays emitted from the human body, lights up various lights, including candlesticks on the Buddhist altars, forgets to turn them off, lights up various lights on the ossuary in temples, etc. and forgets to turn them off Can eliminate the waste of power consumption and prevent the occurrence of fire even if the candlelight falls due to some impact, such as an earthquake,
We were able to solve the problem of the present invention of providing an automatic lighting device for Buddhist altars or ossuary.

According to the second idea,
"The infrared sensor is installed on the ceiling or ceiling above the Buddhist altar."
With a characteristic configuration that is difficult to come up with in the industry,
Infrared sensors are difficult to enter the human field of vision, so you can pray without feeling any discomfort.

According to the third idea,
“The lighting devices are Buddhist altars or ossuary ceiling lights, phosphor lights, hanging lanterns and candlelights.”
With a characteristic configuration that is difficult to come up with in the industry,
When a human enters the infrared sensor detection area, the infrared sensor is activated, and before the person sits in front of the Buddhist altar, or as soon as he enters the ossuary, the ceiling lamp, phosphorus lamp, hanging lantern and candlelight, etc. Automatically lights up, so you can pray immediately.After the prayer, the person will leave the infrared detection area of the altar or the ossuary, and if the time set by the timer has passed, the various lights will automatically turn on. Since the lights are turned off, it is possible to prevent forgetting to turn off the Buddhist altar or ossuary.

According to the fourth idea,
“The infrared sensor and the lighting device are operated by a three-stage selector switch of automatic, stop and manual, and the LED emits light corresponding to the automatic or manual switch.”
With a characteristic configuration that is difficult to come up with in the industry,
Normally, the infrared sensor and the lighting device are turned off automatically to prevent forgetting. For example, at the time of legal affairs at home, reading by monks and scent of attendants are performed, and the illuminating lamp is long. Since it is used for time, it can be switched to manual. In addition, when the user is away from home for a long time due to travel or the like, the changeover switch can be stopped.

According to the fifth idea,
"The timer is attached to the inner bottom or outer peripheral wall of the storage case"
With a characteristic configuration that is difficult to come up with in the industry,
It can be selected so as to adapt to the conditions of the installation location of the storage case storing various devices.
