Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the confirming action of emergency inspection regardless of the fitting position by providing the reception confirming means of the remote control signal storing an infrared remote control receiver. CONSTITUTION:When the AC power is inputted, a fluorescent lamp 1 is turned on by a ballast 2 and a glow starter 3, and a built-in battery 5 is charged by a charging device 6. At the time of emergency lighting, a relay contact 7 is switched, and the fluorescent lamp 1 is lighted by the built-in battery 5 and an emergency lighting device 4. When an infrared remote control receiver 10 receives the input from an infrared remote control transmitter, it turns off an inspection switch 9, when it again receives the input, it turns on the inspection switch 9. Even if the fitting position of a guide light illumination apparatus is a position where a person has a difficulty to operate, emergency lighting can easily be confirmed as far as the fitting position is within the range where the infrared remote control signal reaches.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a guide light luminaire equipped with an infrared emergency lighting inspection device.

[Conventional technology]

Guidance light lighting equipment is required to periodically check the emergency lighting operation so that the guidance light lighting equipment will turn on immediately and reliably in the event that the regular power source is cut off due to an emergency situation. However, conventionally, emergency lighting was confirmed by operating a switch that cuts off the regular power source from outside the lighting equipment using a pull cord.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Guidance light fixtures are required to perform emergency lighting operations on a regular basis, but the above-mentioned conventional technology does not give sufficient consideration to this point, and installation of the guide light fixtures may be difficult depending on the location. (For example, when installed at a high place), it may be difficult to carry out the above periodic inspection.

An object of the present invention is to provide a guide light illumination device that allows emergency inspection and confirmation operations to be easily carried out regardless of the installation location.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above object can be achieved by incorporating an infrared remote control receiver into the guide light luminaire and switching to the emergency lighting state using an infrared remote control signal.

[Effect]

The guide light luminaire according to the present invention has a built-in infrared remote control receiver, and when an infrared remote control signal is input from outside the instrument, the inspection switch section in the conventional guide light luminaire is replaced with the above inspection switch. Turn it off and switch it to emergency lighting. Furthermore, when the infrared remote control signal is input again, the inspection switch section is turned on to return to the normal lighting state using the regular power supply.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a first embodiment of the guide light luminaire according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an operation time chart in the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the above-mentioned second embodiment. FIG.

In FIG. 1 showing the first embodiment of the present invention, 1 is a fluorescent lamp, 2 is a ballast, 3 is a glow starter, 4 is an emergency lighting device, 5 is a built-in battery, 6 is a charging device, 7 is a relay contact,
8 is a relay coil, 9 is an inspection switch, and 10 is an infrared remote control receiver.

When AC power, which is a regular power source, is input, the fluorescent lamp 1 is turned on by the ballast 2 and the close starter 3, and the built-in battery δ is charged by the charging device 6. At the time of emergency lighting, the relay contact 7 is switched, and the fluorescent lamp 1 is lit by the built-in battery 5 and the U emergency lighting device 4.

Previously, the emergency lighting operation was confirmed by the inspector pulling the pull cord of the inspection switch during inspection, but it has been decided that the pull cord will be pulled using the signal from the infrared remote control receiver. This is the present example. The infrared remote control receiver turns off the inspection switch section when it receives human power from the infrared remote control transmitter, and turns it on when it receives input again. By doing this, even if the guide light lighting equipment is installed in a place where it is difficult for people to operate it (e.g. at a high place), as long as the infrared remote control signal can reach it, the emergency lighting can be activated. Confirmation can be done easily.

Next, a second embodiment will be described using FIGS. 2 and 3. This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment described above, with the addition of an instant circuit 11 and a built-in battery voltage determination circuit 12, and a functional block diagram thereof is shown in FIG. First, the function of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. A remote control transmission signal is received by the receiver 10, the inspection switch 9 is turned off, and the timer circuit 1 is started. Furthermore, to indicate that it is lit, LED 1, L
Turn on both ED and 2. At a certain time i! i (specified time of built-in battery voltage), a signal is output from the timer circuit 11 to operate the voltage determination circuit 12, and it is determined whether the built-in battery voltage is equal to or higher than the specified voltage. If the voltage is above the specified voltage, LED1 is turned on and LED2 is turned off, and if the voltage is below the specified voltage, the above is reversed.

After keeping the LED lit for a certain period of time, a signal from the timer circuit 11 causes the LED to return to the regular lighting state.

According to the second embodiment, if a guide light fixture located at a remote location is placed in an emergency lighting inspection state using infrared remote control, and the LED display of the guide light fixture is checked after a certain period of time, an abnormality in the built-in battery can be confirmed. be able to. Further, after a certain period of time, the lamp automatically returns to regular lighting, so periodic inspections can be easily performed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the guide light luminaire according to the present invention is a guide light luminaire equipped with a lamp, a lighting device for normal lighting, a lighting device for emergency lighting, a built-in battery, and an emergency lighting inspection switch. By incorporating a receiver and providing a means to confirm remote control signals, guide light lighting equipment can be installed regardless of conditions as long as the infrared remote control signal can reach.
Since the emergency lighting can be inspected, there is an effect that periodic inspections can be carried out easily.
