Description

  The present invention relates to a lighting fixture having a function of notifying a state of a discharge lamp.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, lighting fixtures having a function of detecting the state of a discharge lamp and performing an operation according to the state of the discharge lamp have been provided (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

As this type of lighting device, for example, there is one having a circuit configuration shown in FIG. This luminaire includes two switching elements Q1 and Q2 connected in series between both ends of a DC power source E, and a connection point between the switching elements Q1 and Q2 and one end of one filament of the discharge lamp La. AC power is supplied to the discharge lamp La by a so-called half-bridge type inverter circuit including a series circuit of a capacitor C5 and an inductor L connected in series and a capacitor C6 connected between the filaments of the discharge lamp La. Is. Each filament of the discharge lamp La detects the filament voltage Vf and compares it with a threshold value Vth. When the filament voltage Vf is higher than the threshold value Vth, an H level output is output. The Vf level detection units DF1 and DF2 to be generated are connected. The outputs of the Vf level detection circuits DF1, DF2 are OR-inputted to a control unit (not shown) that controls the switching elements Q1, Q2. Here, the filament voltage Vf has a distribution on the left side of FIG. 18 when the filament is normal, and has a distribution on the right side of FIG. 18 when the filament is in a so-called Emires state. The threshold value Vth is set between the left and right distributions. That is, when the filament enters the Emires state, the voltage Vf of the filament becomes larger than the threshold value Vth, and the outputs of the corresponding Vf level detection units DF1 and DF2 become the H level. The control unit reduces or stops the power supplied to the discharge lamp La when one output of the Vf level detection units DF1 and DF2 becomes the H level. Thereby, the temperature rise of the discharge lamp La and the stress to the circuit components are avoided, and the safety is improved.

The remote control device 2 of the present reference example includes a human sensor that is turned on and off by a detection control switch to detect the presence of a human body, instead of an illuminance sensor. As the human sensor, for example, a pyroelectric sensor that detects the presence of a human body by detecting heat rays emitted from the human body can be used. When the human sensor detects the presence of a human body when the human sensor is turned on, a predetermined wireless signal is transmitted from the transmission window 22, and this wireless signal is received by the receiving unit 6 of the lighting control unit 1. The voice output unit 5 outputs a threatening voice message that threatens the intruder.

  According to the above configuration, for example, if the remote control device 2 is installed near the window after the human sensor is turned on at the time of going to bed or going out, an intruder invading through the window can be threatened by a threatening voice message. Moreover, compared with the case where a crime prevention apparatus and a lighting fixture are provided separately, the labor concerning construction is reduced and the area of a necessary construction surface becomes small. Furthermore, the use of a voice message can be expected to improve the threatening effect compared to the case where a buzzer or the like is used. Further, the detection range can be freely set by selecting the installation location of the remote control device 2.

  If the audio output unit 25 is provided in the remote control device 2 and the threatening voice message is output from the voice output unit 25 of the remote control device 2, the threatening voice message is output closer to the intruder. Therefore, the effect of intimidation is improved.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a timer unit 7 is provided for measuring a predetermined time T1 from the time t1 ′, t2 ′... When the voice message output is completed, and at the time t1 ′, t2 ′. From time t2 to time t3 when the human body is detected again within the predetermined time T1, the voice output unit 5 may output a threatening voice message that is more threatening than the previous time. 10, (a) shows the output of the human sensor, (b) shows the output of the timer unit, and (c) shows the output of the audio output unit. For example, a threatening voice message “There was a sensor detection” is output for the first time, and a threatening voice message “Suspicious person has entered the house” is output for the second time. If the human body is not detected for a predetermined time T2, the threatening voice message output at t4 when the human body is detected next is returned to the first threatening voice message. By adopting this configuration, the effect of intimidation can be further enhanced.

  Alternatively, the sound quality of the threatening voice message may be changed without changing the content of the threatening voice message. For example, the first threatening voice message is a female voice and the second threatening voice message is a male voice, or the second threatening voice message is output at a frequency different from that of the first threatening voice message. . If the human body is not detected for a predetermined time T2, the sound quality of the threatening voice message output at t4 when the human body is detected next is returned to the initial sound quality. By adopting this configuration, the effect of intimidation can be further enhanced.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, when a human body is detected continuously within a predetermined time T2, a threatening voice message may be gradually output at high outputs P1 to P3, that is, at a high volume. If no human body is detected for a predetermined time T2, the output of the audio output unit 5 at t4 returns to the first output P1 when the human body is detected next. By adopting this configuration, the effect of intimidation can be further enhanced.

  In addition, the remote control device 2 transmits a predetermined wireless signal when a human body is detected, and the control unit 31 lights or blinks the discharge lamp 31 when the wireless signal is received by the receiving unit. The discharge lamp 31 may be turned on or blinking in accordance with the output of the threatening voice message. If this configuration is adopted, a visual effect is added, so that the intimidating effect can be further enhanced.

( Reference Example 4 )
Since the basic configuration of this reference example is the same as that of Reference Example 1, the same reference numerals are assigned to the common configurations, illustration and description are omitted, and only different configurations will be described.

As shown in FIG. 12, this reference example is characterized by including a fire detection unit 8 that detects a fire based on the smoke concentration. The fire detection unit 8 includes a smoke concentration detection unit 81 that generates an output corresponding to the smoke concentration, and a comparison unit 82 that compares the output of the smoke concentration detection unit 81 with a predetermined threshold. Here, for example, the smoke concentration detection unit 81 includes a set of a light emitting diode disposed at a place where smoke flows from outside and a photodiode in which light of the light emitting diode is incident on a light receiving surface. The output decreases with increasing smoke concentration. As a result of the comparison by the comparison unit 82, if the output of the smoke concentration detection unit 81 is lower than a predetermined threshold value, that is, if the smoke concentration detected by the smoke concentration detection unit 81 is higher than the concentration corresponding to the predetermined threshold value. The voice output unit 5 outputs a warning voice message.

  According to the said structure, a fire can be alert | reported by the audio | voice message for warning. Moreover, compared with the case where a fire alarm and a lighting fixture are separately provided, the labor required for construction is reduced, and the necessary construction area is reduced. Further, since the fire is notified by the warning voice message, it is easier for the user to understand what the notification is compared to when the fire is notified by the buzzer.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a timer unit 9 is provided for measuring a predetermined time T2 from the time t5 ′, t6 ′, t7 ′ when the output of the alarm voice message is completed, and the timer unit 9 completes the time measurement. Later, when the output of the smoke density detector 81 is lower than the predetermined threshold value Dth, at t6 and t7, the warning voice message may be changed to a warning voice message having a stronger meaning of warning than the previous time. In FIG. 14, (a) shows the output of the smoke density detection unit, (b) shows the output of the timer unit, and (c) shows the output of the audio output unit. For example, the first time, a warning voice message “Fire alarm activated. Check the site.” Is output, and the second time “Fire has occurred. Please evacuate immediately.” A warning voice message is output. If the output of the smoke concentration detection unit 81 is higher than the predetermined threshold value Dth even after the time measurement by the timer unit 9 is completed, the output of the smoke concentration detection unit 81 is predetermined even after the next time measurement by the timer unit 9 is completed. When the threshold value Dth becomes lower, the warning voice message is returned to the first one. If this configuration is adopted, the effect of fire notification can be further enhanced.

  Alternatively, the sound quality of the warning voice message may be changed without changing the content of the warning voice message. For example, the first warning voice message is a female voice and the second warning voice message is a male voice, or the second warning voice message is output at a frequency different from that of the first warning voice message. . If the output of the smoke density detector 81 is higher than the predetermined threshold value Dth even after the timer 9 completes timing, the sound quality of the warning voice message to be output next is returned to the first sound quality. If this configuration is adopted, the effect of fire notification can be further enhanced.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, when the output of the smoke density detection unit 81 is lower than the predetermined threshold value Dth even after the time measurement by the timer unit 9 is completed, gradually higher outputs P4 to P6, that is, larger at t6 and t7. An alarm voice message may be output at a volume. If the output of the smoke concentration detection unit 81 is higher than the predetermined threshold Dth after the time measurement by the timer unit 9 is completed, the output of the voice output unit 5 when the alarm voice message is output next time is the first time. Return to output P4. If this configuration is adopted, the effect of fire notification can be further enhanced.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, when the output of the smoke density detection unit 81 is lower than the predetermined threshold value Dth even after the time measurement by the timer unit 9 is completed, the time measurement times T3 to T5 by the timer unit 9 at t6 and t7. May be gradually shortened. If the output of the smoke density detection unit 81 is higher than the predetermined threshold Dth after the timer unit 9 completes the time measurement, the next time measurement is returned to the first time measurement T3. If this configuration is adopted, the effect of fire notification can be further enhanced.

  Further, the control unit 31 may turn on or blink the discharge lamp 31 in accordance with the output of the warning voice message. If this structure is employ | adopted, the effect of a fire alert | report can be heightened more by adding a visual effect.
