Description

  The present invention relates to a storage body such as a storage, and more particularly to a technology of a storage body with illumination that uses a solar battery as a lighting power source in the storage body.

  Conventionally, a storage body (storage) provided on a corridor wall or the like of a building has been arranged such that the door position is located near the window or near the lighting installed in the corridor in order to maximize the lighting to the inside. Ingenuity has been made. However, since the necessary illumination inside cannot be sufficiently obtained only by the daylighting from the outside of the storage body, an illuminating device with energy saving has been required.

  Such a storage container with illumination is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example. In Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 4, a solar cell 2 is installed on the roof of the storage 1, an interior light 3 is installed inside the storage, an entrance light 4, a motion sensor 5, and an audio device 6 are installed at the storage entrance, The members are connected via a connector 7.

The solar cell 2 is fixed to a place where the bottom of the solar cell 2 can sufficiently absorb sunlight at the upper part of the roof of the storage 1 using a permanent magnet, an adhesive, or a fixing member. The interior lamp 3 is installed in the interior of the storage 1 and the entrance lamp 4 is installed in an arbitrary place that illuminates the entrance / exit part and the lock part, and the lighting setting time can be changed.
Registered Utility Model No. 3098271

  However, since the above-described solar battery 2 is fixed to the upper part of the roof of the storage 1, it has a problem that it is not preferable in terms of appearance because it is noticeable. Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art, and is to provide a storage container with illumination that can install a solar cell so as not to be noticed and increase its light receiving area. Objective.

  The invention according to claim 1 is an illuminated storage body including a door, and is provided with a two-sided panel including a solar battery as a lighting power source that can be opened and closed through a hinge at an upper end portion of the door, The first surface of the panel is fixed to the upper end of the door, and the hinge includes a spring that opens the second surface from the first surface and biases the solar cell in a direction to open the solar cell. A storage housing for housing the lighting fixture is provided along the portion, and a slope is provided on the side facing the door of the storage housing toward the upper side of the storage housing, and interlocked with closing the door. The second surface is characterized by overcoming the rotational urging force of the spring using the slope and overlapping the first surface to fold the panel.

  A second aspect of the present invention is the illuminated storage body according to the first aspect, wherein the width of the panel is within the thickness of the door in a folded state.

  According to invention of Claim 1, since the panel which consists of two surfaces provided with the solar cell as a lighting power supply which can be opened and closed through a hinge at the upper end part of the door is provided, the solar cell is not visible to the human eye. Can be placed. When the door is closed, the solar cells overlap with each other through the hinge and become one area wide.

  And the appearance is improved and the product value is improved. Moreover, since the solar cell is composed of two surfaces, the light receiving area can be increased during use, so that the efficiency as a power source for illumination is increased.

  Furthermore, a storage housing that houses a lighting fixture in the illuminated housing along the upper end of the door is provided, and a side surface facing the door of the storage housing is provided with a slope toward the upper side of the door. In conjunction with closing, the second surface overcomes the rotational bias of the spring using the slope and overlaps the first surface so that the panel is folded. Power supply) can be automatically opened and closed by opening and closing the door.

  According to invention of Claim 2, since the width | variety of the said panel fits in the thickness of the said door in the folded state, it looks good and a commercial value improves.

<Embodiment of the present invention>
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

<Structure of lighted housing>
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 (a) and 2 (b), the illuminated housing 11 of the present invention includes a door 12, and an upper end portion 12 a of the door 12 has two surfaces that can be opened and closed via a hinge 13. A solar battery 14 is provided as an illumination power source composed of a panel. Then, the first surface 14 a constituting the two surfaces is fixed to the upper end portion 12 a of the door 12. The hinge 13 includes a spring 15 that urges the second surface 14b to rotate in a direction to release the second surface 14b from the first surface 14a.

  Here, when the door 12 includes the door frame member 16, a storage housing 18 that houses the lighting fixture 17 is provided along the upper end portion 12 a of the door 12 in the upper door frame member 16 a of the door frame member 16. An inclined surface 21 is provided on the side surface 18a of the storage casing 18 facing the door toward the upper side of the door. For this reason, the second surface 14b moves in contact with the inclined surface 21 in conjunction with closing the door 12, so that the rotation bias of the spring 15 is overcome and the first surface 14a overlaps the first surface 14a. Power generation stops.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the movable part between the solar cell 14 provided at the upper end 12a of the door 12 and the luminaire 17 in the housing 18 provided along the upper door frame member 16a is an electric wire cord 22. Are connected by a coil 22a so as to extend and contract.

  The wire cord 22 of the coil shape 22a is arranged by selecting a length and an appropriate coil property so as not to be pinched and damaged by the door 12 and the door frame member 16 when the door 12 is opened and closed as indicated by an arrow. The housing case 18 is provided with two sets of lighting fixtures 17 such as LEDs, and each is provided with an illumination window 23 for illuminating the interior of the illuminated housing 11.

<Action of illuminated storage body>
As described above, since the solar battery as the illumination power source consisting of two surfaces that can be opened and closed via a hinge is provided at the upper end of the door, the solar battery can be disposed at a position where it cannot be seen by the human eye, The light receiving area can be increased.

  In addition, a storage housing that houses the lighting fixtures is provided along the upper door frame material around the door frame material, and a slope is provided on the side surface of the storage housing that faces the door. Then, the second surface moves while abutting against the inclined surface, overcomes the rotational bias of the spring, overlaps the first surface, and can automatically stop the power generation of the solar cell. Similarly, when the door is opened, the two surfaces of the solar cell are automatically opened by the rotation bias of the spring, and power generation can be started automatically.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described based on drawing, all said Example shows an example of this invention, and it cannot be overemphasized that this invention should not be limited to these. The lighting fixture 17 provided in the housing case 18 may use a continuous LED light emitter in the form of a tape instead of providing a plurality of LEDs and the like.

It is a perspective view which shows the relationship between the solar cell 14 provided in the door 12 of the storage body 11 with illumination, and the lighting fixture 17 provided in the door frame material 16 in embodiment of this invention. (A) is AA sectional drawing in the state in which the door 12 of FIG. 1 opened in embodiment of this invention, (b) is AA sectional drawing in the state in which the door 12 of FIG. 1 was closed. It is a BB arrow line view of Drawing 2 (a) in an embodiment of the present invention. It is a perspective view of the storage body with illumination in a prior art example.
