JP 2006-224723 A

  When working at night in a special vehicle such as a fire engine, a separate work light is attached around the vehicle to illuminate the work area. For this reason, it takes time and labor to attach the work light and the like. In addition, there are often cases where a plurality of lighting fixtures must be attached to obtain a sufficient amount of light.

  Moreover, in the illumination device as described in Patent Document 1, the illumination reaches only inside the shutter and is used only when the shutter is opened. Furthermore, although the guide rail and the shutter are slidably engaged, there is a high possibility that a failure occurs in the lighting device attached to the guide rail. Further, the illumination needs to be provided on both side surfaces of the guide rail.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a lighting facility that is easy to mount and can efficiently illuminate a work area inside and outside the vehicle. For this purpose, in a special vehicle such as a fire truck in which a shutter is provided on the rear surface and / or side surface of the vehicle so that the shutter can be freely opened and closed, and a rainwater prevention guide is mounted substantially horizontally outside the shutter, An illuminating lamp that illuminates the work area inside and outside the vehicle is attached to the lower surface of the prevention guide.

  Moreover, the said illuminating lamp has the board | substrate which has arrange | positioned LED, The said board | substrate was slidably engaged with the groove part integrally formed continuously in the longitudinal direction of the lower surface of the rainwater prevention guide. In addition, the illuminating lamp mounting surface of the rainwater prevention guide can be arranged to be inclined downward as well as downward. Further, a narrow groove is formed at the top of the groove.

  A vehicle equipped with a shutter often takes in and out things from the inside of the shutter, works by putting things on it, and often manipulates an operating device. At that time, the work area was illuminated with a separate lighting fixture. The lighting may not illuminate the workplace, or the working range may be narrowed by installing lighting fixtures. However, according to the present invention, an illumination lamp for illuminating an external work range can be attached inside the rainwater prevention guide of the shutter without installing a separate luminaire, thereby obtaining the illumination in the workplace and the shutter.

  The rainwater entry prevention guide inner area can be easily reached from outside the warehouse, so there is no problem in the installation work of the lamp, and the work can be done easily and quickly. In addition, although the lamp is easily damaged when hit with an article, the area inside the guide rail is not an area through which the article passes when the article is put in and out, so there is a concern that the article may be accidentally hit and damaged when the article is put in and out. Absent. In addition, if an illuminating lamp is attached to the inside area of the rainwater prevention guide, the outside of the vehicle can be widely illuminated from the front side, and effective illumination that is easy to work is possible in the area illuminated by this illumination.

  Furthermore, the height position of the LED-arranged substrate becomes the same as the position of the mounting shutter, so that the operation of collecting the illumination lamp can be performed more easily. In addition, since the wiring can be incorporated into the substrate, the apparatus can be configured compactly. Further, since the work range outside the vehicle can be illuminated over a wide range, the work of installing a separate work light can be omitted, and particularly in a fire engine that competes for a moment, a quick and accurate activity can be performed.

  In addition, by illuminating the outside of the vehicle, nighttime outdoor activities are possible and the range of activities is expanded. At that time, by closing the shutter, light is reflected on the wall surface of the shutter, and an environment with higher illumination can be created. By tilting the mounting surface of the illuminating lamp to the outside, the range of illumination can be expanded. Further, it is possible to illuminate regardless of whether the shutter is opened or closed. When the shutters are installed on both sides and the rear surface of the vehicle, illumination can be performed in all directions, and versatility is enhanced. By operating the shutter and the lighting equipment alone without interlocking, it is possible to avoid troubles due to engagement. The illumination lamp needs only one place on the upper surface outside the shutter. In addition, a complicated structure is simplified inside, so that the labor of mounting work can be saved, and further, the occurrence rate of defects can be reduced. By making the handle portion into a bar shutter, unlike the conventional push-in type, the lock is applied at two places, so that it is possible to prevent the shutter from being opened during traveling when the handle portion is out of order. As a result, it is possible to prevent the load in the vehicle from falling, and to violate the road traffic law when traveling with the lighting on while traveling, but this can be avoided. In addition, by separating the keying device that is integrated with the handle portion, a device was provided to reduce the probability of failure due to opening and closing.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the figure, 1 is a fire truck, 2 is a cabin at the front of the vehicle body, on which a driver and an operator board, and an article storage 3 mounted on the chassis at the rear of the cabin 2. 31 is a body main body. Reference numeral 4 denotes a shutter provided on the side surface and / or the back surface of the article storage case 3. Reference numerals 34 and 37 denote shutter side rails, and 35 and 36 denote lock bar pressers.

  5 is a rainwater prevention guide. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shutter 4 is arranged in a substantially horizontal direction so that rainwater does not enter the shutter 4 and does not interfere with the taking in and out of articles inside the shutter 4. Moreover, the rainwater entering prevention guide 5 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 is integrally formed of an aluminum extruded material, and has a flange 51 formed on the upper surface thereof, and a seal brush 52 and the lighting fixture 21 are disposed on the lower surface. The A guide brush attachment portion 32 is formed on the shutter side inside the lower surface, and the seal brush base 33 is fitted to the guide brush attachment portion 32 so that the seal brush 52 is in contact with the shutter 4.

  On the other hand, a groove 53 for embedding the illumination base 54 is provided on the outside of the lower surface of the rainwater prevention guide 5. Reference numeral 5 denotes an aluminum plate affixed to a portion of the groove 53 with which the lighting base 54 abuts. The aluminum plate 55 has an effect of releasing the radiant heat of the lighting base 54. The lighting fixture 21 which is an illuminating lamp may be a fluorescent lamp, but is preferably an LED. Since LEDs have low power consumption and long life, there are many advantages for use in vehicles.

  Reference numeral 56 denotes a small groove provided at the top of the ceiling of the embedded groove 53 of the illumination base 54. The small groove 56 is for releasing heat that tends to accumulate in the aluminum plate 55 and the rainwater entry prevention guide 5, and has the effect of extending the illumination base 54.

  Reference numeral 57 denotes an aluminum guide mounted in the embedded groove 53. As shown in FIG. 5, aluminum guides 57A, 57B, and 57C are formed so that the mounting angle of the lighting base 54 of the lighting fixture 21 that is an illuminating lamp can be changed in three stages. When the lighting fixture 21 is mounted using the aluminum guide 57A, the irradiation direction 38 is shown as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5, the irradiation direction 39 is set in the case of the aluminum guide 57B, and the aluminum guide 57C is set. Can obtain an irradiation direction 40 respectively. Reference numeral 22 denotes a protective cover for the lighting fixture 21. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the attachment surface of the rainwater prevention guide 5 on the lighting fixture 21 may be formed so as to be slightly inclined outward by α from the vertical direction. Thereby, the irradiation direction of the lighting fixture 21 can be turned outside without being influenced by rainwater.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an opening / closing bar of the shutter 4 provided at the tip of the shutter 4. The existing handle has a mechanism in which the opening is opened at one central position, but the open / close bar 6 is devised in the same way as the horizontal length of the shutter so that it can be opened from anywhere on the left and right.
Reference numerals 35 and 36 denote stoppers for fixing the aluminum shutter. By attaching two stoppers, the shutter can be prevented from double opening.
In the type that moves up and down manually, a horizontally long operation bar is attached to the front surface of the lowermost panel.

  When a vehicle such as a fire truck configured in this way arrives at the scene, the shutter 4 is opened. When the shutter 4 is pushed up manually by using the open / close bar 6, the upper part of the vertical shutter 4 is guided in a substantially horizontal direction by a guide roller (not shown) and wound on a winding drum (not shown). The panel rises to the top and fully opens the opening. When the shutter 4 starts to open, the lighting device 21 is turned on by operating the switch of the lighting device to be turned on, so that the work area around the inside and outside of the vehicle can be efficiently illuminated. Of course, the conventional separate illumination lamp becomes unnecessary and the work can be started immediately. Normally, the switch of the illumination device is interlocked so that it is automatically turned ON / OFF by opening / closing the shutter. However, it is convenient to be able to manually turn on and off the shutter 4 regardless of whether the shutter 4 is opened or closed, for example, when it is not necessary to turn on the lighting fixture 54 such as daytime work.

  The lighting device of the present invention uses the aluminum guides 57A, 57B, and 57C in the embedded groove 53 when the lighting range is insufficient, particularly when the vehicle height is low, that is, when the mounting height of the lighting fixture 21 is not high. The lighting base 54 is attached by inclining outward. In this way, it is devised to accurately illuminate the work place. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the mounting surface of the luminaire 21 can be formed so as to be slightly inclined outward by α from the vertical direction, so that the irradiation direction can be outward.

  Further, by moving the shutter 4, dust and raindrops on the surface of the shutter 4 are removed by the seal brush 52 attached to the brush attachment portion 32 of the rainwater entry prevention guide 5. Moreover, the intrusion of rainwater is prevented by the ridge 51.

  Although one embodiment has been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment and can be variously modified. The illuminating device of the present invention can be applied not only to a fire truck, but also to a rescue vehicle, a work vehicle for various work such as telephone work, or a display sales vehicle. The illumination base 54, that is, the illumination lamp is not limited to the LED 21 or the fluorescent lamp, and various light sources can be used. Furthermore, the illuminating lamp of the rainwater prevention guide 5 can be provided with a plurality of grooves that can be inclined outwardly with respect to the shutter so as to be inclined in three or more stages. Further, the small grooves 56 provided at the top of the ceiling of the embedded groove 53 of the lighting base 54 are for releasing heat that is easily accumulated in the aluminum plate 55 and the rainwater prevention guide 5, and therefore, if necessary, several small grooves are formed.
