Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a floodlighting device, and more particularly to a floodlighting device for ships.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The remote electric operation type search lamp mounted on the ship has a configuration generally shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 41 denotes a remote control type search lamp lamp in which a light source such as an electric bulb, a reflecting mirror, and a focus adjusting mechanism is incorporated. Reference numeral 42 denotes a drive box for a remote-controlled search light, in which a lifting and turning drive motor, a power transmission mechanism, a limit switch mechanism, a mechanism for concentrating and diffusing light rays from the search light are incorporated. Reference numeral 43 is an operation panel, and various operations such as turning on / off of a light bulb, raising / lowering of a lamp, and turning are performed by a command from the operation panel 43 usually provided in a steering room. The operation panel 43 and the remote control search light 41 are connected by a light source wire 44 and a control power supply wire 44 '. An electric wire 45 for power supply is connected to the operation panel 43 from a distribution board (not shown) in the ship. All of these electric wires 44, 44 ', and 45 are fixed wiring by guy wire. Reference numeral 46 is a movement operation panel, and the movement operation panel 46 is attached whenever the ship owner requests. Reference numeral 47 denotes a flexible capty cord, which is used by connecting to the operation panel 43 or a separately provided connection box.

Searchlight use is limited to nighttime use. The operation panel 43 normally controls the irradiation direction of the search light, but the structure of the steering room inevitably causes a blind spot when an object to be irradiated is observed. Therefore, conventionally, a method of connecting a cap tire cord 47 of a considerable length using the moving operation panel 46 so that the operation can be performed even at a position separated by a certain amount has been adopted.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The captyre cord 47 has to be used with flexibility because it is easy to handle, and the mechanical strength cannot be sufficient such as cutting by dropping an object or rubbing against a structure. There is a problem that the lighting on the ship is actually insufficient and the width of the aisle etc. is narrow, and it means that the cap tire cord 47 is extended to a narrow and dark aisle on the ship. There was a risk of occupants catching the cord 47, falling, falling, etc., which was a safety issue.

It is conceivable to perform remote operation of the floodlighting device by wireless operation or the like without using the captire cord (for example, JP-A-56-36887 and JP-A-56-35394). JP-A-58-186101, JP-B-56-20240, etc.), both of which are not suitable for floodlighting devices for ships.
