The unit 10 is attached substantially vertically. The base frame 2 and the support frame 3 can use a channel-type metal frame having a U-shaped cross section, but can also be used by bending a metal pipe.

  Further, the solar panel 4 is attached between the base frame 2 and the support frame 3 so that the solar panel 4 is inclined and facing upward. By placing the signboard device in a place where sunlight is received in the daytime, it is possible to efficiently It is structured to receive sunlight. The electromotive force generated by the solar panel 4 is charged to the battery 21 in the control box 5.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the signboard unit 10 attached to the upper part of the support frame 3 is disposed so as to face the light guide plate 12 disposed in the rectangular frame frame 13 and the edge of the light guide plate 12. The light guide plate 12 is configured to include a plurality of light emitters 14 that allow light to enter, and a light-transmitting plate 11 that is disposed on both the front side and the back side of the light guide plate 12 and has a character figure or the like to be displayed. The

  The light guide plate 12 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin plate. A light incident surface is formed on an end surface of the edge portion. A light emitter 14 such as an LED is disposed opposite to the end surface. Is formed so as to efficiently enter the light guide 12. Further, a diffusion surface for diffusing the guided light is formed on the front surface and the back surface of the light guide plate 12 so that the light reaching the surface in the translucent plate 11 is emitted as diffused light from the front surface and the back surface. The light guide plate 12 is configured.

  The light-emitting body 14 is configured by mounting a plurality of LEDs (white light-emitting diodes) on an elongated strip-shaped substrate 14a at intervals, and the strip-shaped substrate 14a on which a large number of light-emitting bodies 14 are arranged is, for example, a light guide plate. 12 are disposed along side surfaces (end surfaces) on both sides. A frame 13 is attached around the signboard unit 10, and the edges of the substrate 14 a, the light emitter 14, and the light guide plate 12 are covered with the frame 13.

  The base frame 2 of the gantry 1 is placed on the ground or the like of the placement place, but is formed in a flat plate shape, so that the signboard device can be placed stably. In order to facilitate movement, casters are attached to the bottom surfaces of the four corners of the base frame 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a control box 5 is attached on the base frame 2, and a battery 21, a charge / discharge control circuit 20 and the like are housed in the control box 5. As shown in FIG. 4, a solar cell 4a, a battery 21, a lighting circuit 22 and the like are connected to the charge / discharge control circuit 20, and the battery 21 is charged with electromotive force generated by the solar cell 4a of the solar panel 4 during the daytime. At night, the electric power discharged from the battery 21 is supplied to the light emitter 14, and the light emitter 14 is controlled to be lit.

  The charge / discharge control circuit 20 is provided with, for example, a PWM control circuit. When charging the battery 21 with the electromotive force generated by the solar battery 4a, the charge current is subjected to pulse width modulation according to the voltage of the battery 21 to charge the battery.

Is done.

  The solar panel 4 of the internally illuminated signboard device receives sunlight in the daytime to generate an electromotive force, and the electromotive force is sent from the solar cell 4a to the battery 21 through the charge / discharge control circuit 20 to be charged. At this time, the PWM control circuit of the charge / discharge control circuit 20 modulates the charge current according to the voltage of the battery 21 to control the charge current, and charges the battery 21 with the highest charge efficiency.

  At night or when the set lighting time is reached, the charge / discharge control circuit 20 switches from charging to discharging, and supplies the discharge current from the battery 21 to the light emitter 14 of the signboard unit 10 through the lighting circuit 22. As a result, the light emitter 14 emits light, illumination light is irradiated from both sides of the light guide plate 12 in the sign unit 10 to the front and back, and the translucent plate 11 that is the display surface of the sign unit 10 is illuminated by the backlight. .

  As a result, the front and back signboard character figures of the signboard unit 10 are illuminated by the backlight and displayed so that translucent character figures of various colors emerge. The lighting of the signboard unit 10 continues until the timer circuit 24 is turned off, or continues until the day / night discrimination circuit 23 detects the daytime from the night and outputs a daylight signal. The light emitter 14 of the signboard unit 10 is turned off.

  As described above, the internally illuminated signboard device can be easily placed on the entrance or parking space of the store by the stable mount 1, and the solar panel 4, the battery 21, and the charge / discharge control circuit 20 as a power source. Therefore, it is not necessary to install a commercial power line or the like for installation, and it can be installed very easily and at low cost.
