Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a hung down lead wire from being caught during fixing a stabilizer and facilitate the assembly work by forming a plurality of projections to fasten the lead wire by winding on the side plate of the electric discharge lamp stabilizer with a lead wire processing apparatus filled up with a compound. CONSTITUTION:A stabilizer 2 and a capacitor 3 are contained in a stabilizer case 1 and sealed by filling up the case 1 with a compound 7, and a lead wire 6 connected to the stabilizer 2 and the capacitor 3 is drawn out of the case 1 through a hole made in a part of the side end plate 4 of the case 1. In this structure, a plurality of projections 5 are formed in the periphery of the through hole made in the side plate 4. In drawing out the lead wire 6 through the hole, the lead wire 6 is wound on the projections 5 by inserting under the floated ends of the projections 5 to bundle and then drawn out in the lump. When the lead wire 6 is connected to lighting equipment, only removing the wire from the projections by a needed length is required, therefore, the lead wire 6 will not be caught between the equipment and a reflecting plate.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention... It is installed in a discharge lamp ballast with a lead wire processing device, which is equipped with a lead wire processing device for a ballast with a lead wire case.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the ballast in a case with a Hinode edge has a ballast main body 2 fixed with a compound 7 and a capacitor 3 housed in the case as shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 5, the pieces were guided from a part of the side plate 4 to the outside of the case l, folded back to an appropriate length and tied together with a binding band 14 so as not to get in the way during handling such as transportation. .

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

According to the above-mentioned conventional technology, when assembling the lighting equipment, the lead wires, which can be simply bundled using a cable tie, are attached by attaching the ballast 8 to the fixture body 9 as shown in FIG. 14 and after making connections to the socket 11 and other necessary parts, the excess lead wires 6 were bundled and tied again with the binding band 14. However, since the above-mentioned work is carried out inside the narrow fixture body 9 of the lighting fixture, the workability is poor.
In addition, since the bundling dimensions are not constant, the lead wire 6 bends during the morning stand-up, and even though the lead wire 6 is held in place by a plurality of wire holders provided on the appliance body 9, the lead wire 6 is 9 and the reflective plate 10. There was a risk of damaging the lead wire 6. Further, the lead wires 6 are bundled and positioned at the end of the case 1, but are not fixed, so there is a risk that they may move or become loose when handling the ballast.

The present invention provides a discharge lamp ballast that eliminates the need to attach the lead wire of the discharge lamp ballast when handling the discharge lamp ballast and when setting up the lighting equipment in the morning, and that improves workability when assembling the lighting equipment. The purpose is to obtain.

[! ! ! Means to solve the problem]

The above object is achieved by providing the end side plate of the discharge lamp ballast with a plurality of protrusions around which the lead wire can be wound and locked.

[Effect]

A ballast case 1 generally houses a ballast body 2 embedded in a compound 7 and a capacitor 3. The lead wires 6 connected to each of the above components are led out of the case 1 from a part of the end side plate 4 of the case 1, as shown in FIG. 5 and lock it. By doing the above, when handling the discharge lamp ballast. Since the lead wire 6 does not get tangled or narrowed, there is no need for special protection measures for the lead wire during transportation of the ballast, and in general, the locked lead wire is not required when assembling the lighting equipment. If you perform the connection work by unwinding the wire to a certain length, you will not be disturbed by the extra lead wire, and you will not suffer damage due to the bent lead wire coming into contact with or being pressed.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

An explanatory diagram showing a cross section of the embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side view of the discharge lamp ballast, FIG. 3(a) is a perspective view showing the end of the discharge lamp ballast, and FIG. 3(b) is a side view of the discharge lamp ballast. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the end side plate of the ballast, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the lighting fixture to which the above-mentioned ballast is attached. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a ballast main body 2 filled with a compound 7 and a capacitor 3 are housed in the ballast case l, and a lead wire 6 connected to these is connected to the ballast case 1. It passes through a part of the end side plate 4 and is led out of the case 1. It is provided by cutting and raising the side plate 4 of this embodiment as shown in FIG. The lead wire 6 that penetrates a part of the side plate 4 and is led out of the case 1 is shown in FIG.
) and (b), since the ballast is locked so as to be wrapped around the four protrusions 5 in sequence, there is no problem in handling the ballast. 8 to the fixture body 9 of the lighting fixture as shown in FIG. As the reflector 10 is attached to the instrument main body 9, the assembly workability is good, and the extra lead wire 6 does not bend inside the instrument body 9 and occupy space. There is no possibility that the lead wire 6 will be pinched and damaged.

Note that the number of protrusions 5 provided on the side plate 4 is not limited to four, but may be a plurality of protrusions, and instead of being provided by directly cutting and raising the protrusions from the side plate 4 as in this embodiment, they may be separately added. . If you use the side plate 4 on the side where the capacitor is stored, you can use compound 7 for the case on the capacitor side.
Since the compound 7 is not filled with the compound 7, the compound 7 does not flow out from the cut and raised holes of the side plate 4. Further, the shape of the raised protrusion 5 is not particularly limited, but it is necessary that it has a size that allows the lead wire 6 to be completely wrapped around it, and that it does not protrude beyond the overall length of the discharge lamp ballast. This is desirable.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the discharge lamp ballast with a lead wire processing device according to the present invention, the discharge lamp ballast with a lead wire processing device has a lead wire and is filled with a compound. By providing multiple protrusions on the copper plate of the ballast, the lead wire of the ballast can be wrapped around the plurality of protrusions and locked, so that the lead wire will not droop while the ballast is being handled. It will not fall down and get caught or become narrow, and when assembling the lighting equipment, only the length of the lead wire necessary for connection should be unwound from the protrusion and used. This prevents the excess lead wire from bending and occupying space within the fixture body, and prevents the lead wire from being caught between the fixture body and the reflector of the lighting fixture, or being pressed and damaged. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a discharge lamp ballast that has good assembly workability and is free from the risk of damage to the lead wire.
