Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、人体の有無に従い照明の状態を変化させる照明装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、この種の照明装置としては、たとえば図4に示す構成が知られている。この図4に示す照明装置1は、器具本体2内に反射板3が配設され、この反射板3の両端にはそれぞれ2対のランプソケット4が配設され、これらランプソケット4間には直管型の蛍光ランプ5が2本配設されている。
【0003】
また、反射板3には、この器具本体2の下方の所定の範囲の円の内部の検出エリアに人体があるか否か、たとえば在席、不在席を検出する人体検出手段としての人感センサ6が配設されている。
【0004】
さらに、この照明装置は、たとえば図5に示すように、マトリクス状に配設されている。
【0005】
そして、対応する照明装置1の人感センサ6の検出エリア内に在席を検出すると、在席を検出した対応する照明装置1は点灯し、他の在席を検出しない照明装置1は消灯あるいは減光状態を維持している。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記従来の構成の場合、図5に示すたとえばB地点に人がいたとすると、このB地点に検出エリアを有する人感センサ6を有する照明装置1は点灯するが、このB地点に検出エリアを有さない人感センサ6を有する照明装置1はそれぞれ対応する検出エリア内の人の有無により点灯と消灯あるいは減光となる。
【0007】
このため、A地点に人がいる場合、A地点に隣接したB地点に人がいるか否かによりB地点を検出エリアとする照明装置1が点灯するか減光あるいは消灯するかによりA地点の照度が変わってしまい、B地点の人の有無が頻繁に変化するとA地点の照度が頻繁に変わってしまいA地点にいる人に違和感を与えてしまい、設定によっては周囲の状況のみが頻繁に変化してA地点の人が不快感を感ずるおそれがある問題を有している。
【0008】
本発明は、上記問題点に鑑みなされたもので、適正照明を得ることができる照明装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1記載の照明装置は、器具本体と;この器具本体に対応して設けられ人体の有無を検出する人体検出手段とこの器具本体に対応する人体検出手段の出力が入力される第1の信号入力部および他の器具本体に対応する人体検出手段の出力が入力される第2の信号入力部を有し、第1の信号入力部の入力は第2の信号入力部の入力より優先し、第1の信号入力部に入力があるときには照明の状態を点灯状態とし、第1および第2の信号入力部に入力がないときには照明の状態を減光および消灯のいずれかの状態とし、第1の信号入力部に入力がなくかつ第2の信号入力部に入力があるときには照明の状態を調光点灯状態に制御する制御手段と;を具備したもので、第1の信号入力部に入力されるこの器具本体に対応した人体検出手段で検出する人体の有無のみならず、他の器具本体に対応した人体検出手段で検出する人体の有無に従い、照明制御することにより適正照明となる。
【0010】
求項記載の照明装置は、請求項1記載の照明装置において、制御手段は、人体を検出した場合の照明の状態を任意に設定可能であるもので、状況に応じて照明の状態を任意に設定できるため、環境に適応した適正照明となる
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の照明装置の一実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。なお、従来例で説明した部分に対応する部分には同一符号を付して説明する。
【0012】
照明装置1は、図4に示すように、器具本体2内に反射板3が配設され、この反射板3の両端にはそれぞれ2対のランプソケット4が配設され、これらランプソケット4間には直管型の蛍光ランプ5が2本配設されている。
【0013】
また、反射板3には、この器具本体2の下方の所定の範囲の円の内部の検出エリアに人体があるか否か、たとえば在席、不在席を検出する人体検出手段としての人感センサ6が配設されている。
【0014】
そして、この照明装置1は、図1に示すように、商用交流電源eに接続され、蛍光ランプ5を全光、調光点灯および消灯させるインバータ回路などの点灯装置11を有し、この点灯装置11を制御する制御手段としての制御部12が接続されている。また、制御部12は第1の信号入力部12a と第2の信号入力部12b とを有しており、第1の信号入力部12a にはその器具本体2に装着されている人感センサ6が接続され、第2の信号入力部12b には他の器具本体2に装着されている人感センサ6が接続されている。
【0015】
また、第1の信号入力部12a に信号が入力される場合と、第2の信号入力部12b に信号が入力される場合とでは、蛍光ランプ5の点灯状態を異ならせることができ、たとえば第1の信号入力部12a に信号が入力されると蛍光ランプ5を全光点灯させ、第2の信号入力部12b に信号が入力されると蛍光ランプ5を調光点灯させる。さらに、制御部12では、第1の信号入力部12a の信号入力を、第2の信号入力部12b の信号入力より優先して、蛍光ランプ5を制御する。なお、いずれの場合にも全光点灯あるいは調光点灯に限らず、任意に照度を設定できるようにしてもよい。
【0016】
なお、第1の信号入力部12a および第2の信号入力部12b のいずれにも信号入力がない場合には、制御部12は蛍光ランプ5を減光あるいは消灯状態にする。
【0017】
さらに、この照明装置1は、たとえば図2に示すように、マトリクス状に配設され、第2の信号入力部12b には縦あるいは横方向で隣り合う照明装置1の人感センサ6が接続され、周縁に配置された照明装置1には同様に3つの照明装置1の人感センサ6が接続され、角に配置された照明装置1には同様に2つの照明装置1の人感センサ6が接続されている。
【0018】
そして、対応する照明装置1の人感センサ6の検出エリア内に在席を検出すると、自己の器具本体2の人感センサ6で在席を検出した対応する照明装置1は点灯し、他の器具本体2の人感センサ6で在席を検出した対応する照明装置1は調光点灯し、他の在席を検出しない照明装置1は消灯あるいは減光状態を維持している。
【0019】
このため、たとえばB地点に人がいてもいなくても、このB地点に検出エリアを有する人感センサ6を備えた照明装置1はA地点に検出エリアを有する人感センサ6からの出力に従い点灯するが、このA地点に検出エリアを有する人感センサ6の信号が入力されない照明装置1はそれぞれ対応する検出エリア内の人の有無により点灯と消灯あるいは減光となる。
【0020】
このため、A地点に人がいる場合、図3に示すように、A地点に検出エリアを有する人感センサ6を備えた照明装置1はA地点の人感センサ6からの信号が第1の信号入力部12a に入力されて全光点灯し、A地点に隣接したB地点に人がいればB地点を検出エリアとする人感センサ6を備えた照明装置1はB地点の人感センサ6により全光点灯し、B地点に人がいなければB地点を検出エリアとする人感センサ6を備えた照明装置1はA地点の人感センサ6により調光点灯するが、いずれの場合にもB地点を検出エリアとする人感センサを有する照明装置1は点灯あるいは調光点灯するため、A地点の照度はB地点の人の有無により大きく変わらないためほとんど違和感を与えず、省エネルギを図りながら不快感を感じにくくさせる。なお、B地点に人がいる場合、B地点を検出エリアとする人感センサ6からA地点を検出エリアとする人感センサ6を有する照明装置1の第2の信号入力部12b に信号が入力されるが、自己の人感センサ6から第1の信号入力部12a に信号が入力されるため、この第1の信号入力部12a への信号が優先するため、A地点を検出エリアとする人感センサ6を備えた照明装置1は全光点灯する。
【0021】
上記実施の形態によれば、自己の照明装置1の人感センサ6のみならず隣り合う照明装置1の人感センサ6によっても照明装置1は蛍光ランプ5を全光点灯あるいは調光点灯に制御することにより、新たな人感センサ6などを設けることなく、不要な照明装置1は減光あるいは消灯して省電力を図りつつ、環境に適した繊細な照明空間となる。
【0022】
【発明の効果】
請求項1記載の照明装置によれば、第1の信号入力部に入力されるこの器具本体に対応した人体検出手段で検出する人体の有無のみならず、第2の信号入力部に入力される他の器具本体に対応した人体検出手段で検出する人体の有無に従い照明制御することにより、適正照明となる。
【0023】
求項記載の照明装置によれば、請求項1記載の照明装置に加え、制御手段は人体を検出した場合の照明の状態を任意に設定可能であるので、状況に応じて照明の状態を任意に設定でき、環境に適応した適正照明にできる

[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a lighting device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and demonstrated to the part corresponding to the part demonstrated by the prior art example.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 4, the illuminating device 1 is provided with a reflector 3 in the fixture body 2, and two pairs of lamp sockets 4 are arranged at both ends of the reflector 3. Two straight-tube fluorescent lamps 5 are provided.
[0013]
Further, the reflection plate 3 is a human sensor as a human body detecting means for detecting whether or not there is a human body in a detection area inside a circle in a predetermined range below the instrument main body 2, for example, presence or absence. 6 is disposed.
[0014]
As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting device 1 includes a lighting device 11 such as an inverter circuit that is connected to a commercial AC power source e and turns on and off the fluorescent lamp 5 with all light and dimming. A control unit 12 as a control means for controlling 11 is connected. The control unit 12 has a first signal input unit 12a and a second signal input unit 12b, and the first signal input unit 12a has a human sensor 6 attached to the instrument body 2. Is connected, and a human sensor 6 mounted on another instrument body 2 is connected to the second signal input portion 12b.
[0015]
Further, the lighting state of the fluorescent lamp 5 can be made different between when the signal is input to the first signal input unit 12a and when the signal is input to the second signal input unit 12b. When a signal is input to the first signal input unit 12a, the fluorescent lamp 5 is turned on all the time. When a signal is input to the second signal input unit 12b, the fluorescent lamp 5 is turned on. Further, the control unit 12 controls the fluorescent lamp 5 with priority given to the signal input of the first signal input unit 12a over the signal input of the second signal input unit 12b. In any case, the illuminance may be arbitrarily set without being limited to all-light lighting or dimming lighting.
[0016]
When there is no signal input to either the first signal input unit 12a or the second signal input unit 12b, the control unit 12 causes the fluorescent lamp 5 to be dimmed or extinguished.
[0017]
Further, the lighting device 1 is arranged in a matrix as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and the human sensor 6 of the lighting device 1 adjacent in the vertical or horizontal direction is connected to the second signal input portion 12b. Similarly, the human sensor 6 of the three illuminating devices 1 is connected to the illuminating device 1 arranged at the periphery, and the human sensor 6 of the two illuminating devices 1 is similarly connected to the illuminating device 1 arranged at the corner. It is connected.
[0018]
And if a seating is detected within the detection area of the human sensor 6 of the corresponding lighting device 1, the corresponding lighting device 1 that has been detected by the human sensor 6 of the own appliance body 2 is turned on, and the other The corresponding lighting device 1 that detects presence by the human sensor 6 of the appliance main body 2 is dimmed, and the other lighting devices 1 that do not detect other seating remain off or in a dimmed state.
[0019]
For this reason, for example, even if there is no person at the B point, the lighting device 1 including the human sensor 6 having the detection area at the B point is turned on according to the output from the human sensor 6 having the detection area at the A point. However, the lighting device 1 to which the signal of the human sensor 6 having the detection area at the point A is not input is turned on / off or dimmed depending on the presence / absence of a person in the corresponding detection area.
[0020]
For this reason, when there is a person at the point A, as shown in FIG. 3, the lighting device 1 including the human sensor 6 having the detection area at the point A receives the first signal from the human sensor 6 at the point A. The lighting device 1 including the human sensor 6 having the B point as a detection area when the person is at the B point adjacent to the A point is input to the signal input unit 12a and is turned on. The lighting device 1 provided with the human sensor 6 having the B point as a detection area is dimmed by the human sensor 6 at the point A. Since the lighting device 1 having the human sensor having the detection point B as the detection area is turned on or dimmed, the illuminance at the point A does not change greatly depending on the presence or absence of the person at the point B, so that the feeling of incongruity is hardly given and energy saving is achieved. While making it difficult to feel discomfort. When there is a person at the B point, a signal is input from the human sensor 6 having the B point as the detection area to the second signal input unit 12b of the lighting device 1 having the human sensor 6 having the A point as the detection area. However, since a signal is input from the human sensor 6 to the first signal input unit 12a, the signal to the first signal input unit 12a has priority. The illuminating device 1 provided with the sensation sensor 6 lights up in all light.
[0021]
According to the embodiment described above, the lighting device 1 controls the fluorescent lamp 5 to be all-lighted or dimmed not only by the human sensor 6 of the own lighting device 1 but also by the human sensor 6 of the adjacent lighting device 1. Thus, without providing a new human sensor 6 or the like, the unnecessary lighting device 1 is dimmed or extinguished to save power and become a delicate lighting space suitable for the environment.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
According to the lighting device of the first aspect, not only the presence / absence of a human body to be detected by the human body detection means corresponding to the instrument main body, which is input to the first signal input unit, is input to the second signal input unit. Appropriate illumination is obtained by controlling illumination according to the presence or absence of a human body detected by a human body detection unit corresponding to another instrument body.
[0023]
According to the lighting device Motomeko 2 wherein, in addition to the illumination apparatus of claim 1 Symbol placement, the control means because it is arbitrarily set the state of illumination when detecting a human body, the illumination depending on the circumstances The state can be set arbitrarily, and appropriate lighting adapted to the environment can be achieved .
