For example, if the power supply line (5) is drawn out to the dirt floor (4) side in advance, the power supply line (6) and the control unit (3) are connected after the upstile (1) and the floor board (7) are installed. The lighting unit (2) and the control unit (3) may be embedded in each groove by connecting to the terminal (33).

Of course, the illumination unit (2) and the control unit (3) can be installed separately by providing a certain amount of margin for the wiring connecting them. In the upright frame lighting structure of the present invention constructed as described above, maintenance for replacing or repairing the lighting unit (2) and the control unit (3) is performed by, for example, as shown in FIG. By simply removing the floor plate (7) from the side (4), it can be performed easily and in a short time without peeling off the floor plate (7) and the like.

More specifically, for example, it is only necessary to remove the fixed cover body (22) of the lighting unit (2) and the control circuit body (32) of the control unit (3).
In the case where the connection terminal (33) and the control circuit body (32) (constant voltage circuit if a constant voltage circuit is provided) are connected to each other by the wiring with connector (34),
The control circuit body (32) and the connection terminal (33) can be separated by disconnecting the connector of the wiring with connector (34).

Of course, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the fixed plate body (31) itself may be pulled out by removing it from the dirt floor (4) side, and confirmation of connection between the connection terminal (33) and the power supply line (6) and It can be easily repaired. By the way, as the light source (21) of the illumination unit (2) in the ascending frame illumination structure of the present invention, for example, FIG. 1 and FIG.
As illustrated in (b), a small LED (211) capable of obtaining sufficient illuminance can be used. In this case, for example, the LED (211) is attached to a so-called P plate (212), and the P plate (212) is detachably attached to the fixed cover body (22), whereby the fixed cover body (22). Fixed to.

More specifically, the LED (211) and the P plate (212) are fixed to the fixed cover body (22), for example, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8A and 8B. You can In the example shown in FIGS. 7 and 8A and 8B, in the inner space of the fixed cover body (22),

A more reliable fixation to 2) is realized. On the other hand, the fixed cover body (22) having the light source (21) attached thereto can be detachably fixed to the ascending frame (1), for example, as shown in FIG.

That is, first, the illumination groove (11) of the ascending frame (1) has a substantially inverted trapezoidal cross-section with the lower opening portion slightly narrowed, and the fixed cover body (22) has a pair of front wall portions. (224) and the rear wall portion (225) have a substantially U-shaped cross-section with a certain degree of outward expansion. Then, by pushing such a fixed cover body (22) into the illumination groove (11) from below, both front and rear wall portions (224) (22) thereof are formed.
5) Bends inward and fits from the narrow opening of the illumination groove (11) to the slightly wider back.

In this way, the fixed cover body is formed by the outward restoring force of the front and rear wall portions (224) and (225) of the fixed cover body (22) and the substantially inverted trapezoidal cross section of the illumination groove (11). (22) is detachably fitted and fixed to the illumination groove (11). Furthermore, in order to achieve a more reliable fixing, the front wall portion (224) and the rear wall portion (2) of the fixed cover body (22).
25) Each of the outer surfaces may be provided with an anti-slip means (226) capable of making the engaging force with the wall surface of the illumination groove (11) stronger.

Since the lighting groove (11) of the ascending frame (1) is located in a place where the height from the dirt floor (4) is low, it is difficult to see and it is difficult for a driver to enter. The fixing of (22) is very effective, and it becomes possible to easily attach and detach it. In addition, since the cross section of the fixed cover body (22) has the same shape except for the cutout portion (227), extrusion molding is possible and the die is inexpensive.

It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and various details can be made.
