Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a battery mounting device for an emergency light, and more particularly, to a structure for holding the battery of an emergency light that is turned on by a built-in battery in the event of a power outage.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional battery mounting device for this type of emergency light has a structure shown in FIG. 5, for example. This conventional emergency light battery mounting device has a bolt 3 protruding from and fixed to a battery mounting surface 2 inside a chassis 1, and a battery holding portion 5 matching the external shape of a battery 4 formed on both sides of the bolt 3. A structure was adopted in which the battery holder 6 was inserted into the center of the battery holder 6, and a wing nut 7 was screwed onto the bolt 3 to fix the battery holder 6 to the battery mounting surface 2.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the structure of the conventional battery mounting device described above, when mounting a battery, the battery 4 is placed on the battery mounting surface 2, and the battery holder 5 of the battery holder 6 is attached to the battery 4.
, and tighten the wing nut 7 screwed onto the bolt 3 to press the battery holder 6 toward the battery mounting surface 2 to hold the battery 4. Therefore, when attaching or detaching the battery 4, tighten the wing nut 7 each time. The battery holder 6 must be removed from the bolt 3 first, making it difficult to replace the battery.Furthermore, the wing nut 7 that presses the battery holder 6 against the battery mounting surface 2 is manually tightened, making it difficult to tighten. If the force is not constant and the tightening force is weak, the battery 4 may fall off due to vibrations and shocks during transportation, and if the tightening force of the wing nut 7 is too strong, the battery may not be installed in a high place such as the ceiling when replacing the battery. In such emergency lights, loosening the wing nut 7 is difficult and can be dangerous.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a battery mounting device for an emergency light, which allows the battery to be easily replaced and removed, and which can hold the battery on the battery mounting surface of the chassis with a constant pressing force.

[Means for solving problems]

The emergency light battery mounting device of the present invention includes a chassis having a battery mounting surface, and a battery holder that is attached to the battery mounting surface of the chassis and has a plurality of battery holders that match the external shape of the battery. The battery holder includes a spring that locks one end to the center of the battery holder and locks the other end to the chassis, urging the battery holder against the battery mounting surface with a constant pressing force. It is characterized in that it is attached to the chassis with a member.

[Effect]

The emergency light battery installation device of the present invention simply engages the battery with the battery holder of the battery holder, and the battery holder is pressed against the battery installation surface of the chassis by a spring member. It can be easily removed by simply pulling against the elastic force of the spring member.

〔Example〕

The configuration of one embodiment of the present invention is shown in drawings 1 to 4.
The diagram will be explained.

Reference numeral 11 denotes an emergency light chassis, which is narrow in width, has downwardly bent edges 12 on both sides, and is opened downward. On the inner surface of this chassis 11 is a battery mounting surface 1.
3 is formed, and a hook portion 14 such as a cut-out or a hole is formed approximately in the center of the battery mounting surface 13 in the width direction.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a battery holder, which is molded from a metal material or synthetic resin, and has approximately semicircular arc-shaped battery holders 17, 17 at both ends of the battery holder 15, respectively, to match the external shape of the battery 16. It is formed. Further, a hook portion 18 is formed in the center of the battery holder 15 by a cut-out or a hole. Further, grip portions 19 are bent and formed at the center portions of both sides of the battery holder 18.

Furthermore, a spring member 20 is formed of a tension coil spring, one end of this spring member 20 is latched to the hook portion 14 of the chassis 11, and the other end of this spring member 20 is latched to the hook portion of the battery holder 15. 18 , and the battery holder 15 is urged toward the battery mounting surface 13 by this spring member 20 .

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the drawings.

When attaching the batteries 16, 16 to the chassis 11, use the battery holder 15 as shown by the chain line in FIG.
parallel to the longitudinal direction of the chassis 11, place the batteries 16, 16 on the battery mounting surface 13, and in this state rotate the battery holder 15 by 90 degrees by gripping the gripping part 19 as shown by the solid line in FIG. Then, the battery holding part 17,
17 is engaged with the batteries 16, 16, this battery holder 15 is pressed against the battery mounting surface 12 of the chassis 11 with a constant pressing force due to the elastic force of the spring member 20.
The batteries 16, 16 are held against the chassis 11 without slipping.

When replacing the battery, when the battery holder 15 is rotated by 90 degrees against the elastic force of the spring member 20 by gripping the gripping part 19, the tips of the battery holder parts 17, 17 of the battery holder 15 are held against the battery 16. , 16, and the batteries 16, 16 can be removed.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, the chassis includes a chassis having a battery mounting surface, and a battery holder that is attached to the battery mounting surface of the chassis and has a plurality of battery holders that match the external shape of the battery, the battery holder being , one end of the battery holder is locked to the center portion of the battery holder, the other end is locked to the chassis, and the battery holder is attached to the chassis using a spring member that biases the battery holder against the battery mounting surface with a constant pressing force. Therefore, since the battery holder uses a spring member to press the battery against the battery mounting surface of the chassis with a constant pressure, the battery is held securely without slipping, and the battery holder cannot be operated against the spring member. This makes it easy to install and remove batteries.
It has good operability even in high places such as ceilings, allows safe and easy battery replacement, and has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost.
