2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various structures for an illumination system including a control unit for controlling stroboscopic light emission of a light emitting body for stroboscopic light emission. For example, a halogen lamp is used as a light emitter, and the voltage of the power input line is turned off while AC100V is applied to the power input line. There is an electric decoration system that causes strobe emission by repeating. FIG. 1 is a wiring diagram of a light emitting body and a control unit in this illumination system. As is apparent from FIG. 1, the wiring connecting the light emitter and the control unit is a two-wire system without a signal line. Further, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between the voltage and the time when the lamp of this system is turned on and off. In FIG. 2, the charging time from ON to the next OFF, T1 is 0.8 seconds or more (C
U), 1.3 or more (OU), the OFF time of the input voltage, that is, the elapsed time required from 100 V to 0 V, T2 is within 0.1 seconds, and the input power is turned on again, that is, OFF. The time required from (0 V) to the next ON (100 V), T3, is 0.1 seconds or more. The control unit has a certain number of light emitters, the number of stages, the model used,
An IC non-contact switching element in which a pattern or the like is programmed in advance is provided, and ON / OFF of electric power is controlled by the IC non-contact switching element to perform stroboscopic light emission of a fixed pattern. The power consumption of the light emitter in this system is 2.5W, 4.5W, or 9.0W, and the shortest light emission interval is 0.8 seconds at 2.5W, 1.3 seconds at 4.5W or 9.0W. Is. In addition, the life of the luminous body is 5000 hours on average.

Further, for example, although the light-emitting body and the operating method are the same as those of the above-mentioned illumination system, there is a wiring system which connects the light-emitting body and the control unit is of a three-wire type. FIG. 3 shows a wiring diagram of the light emitter and the control unit in this system. The control unit is provided with a blinking speed adjusting knob, and the blinking speed adjusting knob can adjust the blinking speed of the light emitting body. The power consumption of the light emitter in this system is 4.0 W or 8.0 W, and the light emission interval is 0.12 ± 0.03 seconds or 1 second ± 0.
2 seconds. The average life of the luminescent material is 5000 hours.

Further, in addition to the above-mentioned illumination system, for example, a xenon tube is used as a light-emitting body, and the operating method is the same as the operation of the above-mentioned illumination system.
There is also one that causes strobe emission by repeating N-OFF. FIG. 4 is a wiring diagram of the light emitter and the control unit in this system. Also, FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a relationship between a voltage and a time during ON / OFF in lamp light emission of this system. In this system, the voltage when the power is off is 10 V or less.

The time required for V), T2, is 0.1 seconds or more and 5 seconds or less. The power consumption of the light emitter in this system is 5.0
W and the light emission interval is 0.5 to 0.7 seconds. The average life of the luminescent material is 10,000 hours.

However, in the systems of the prior arts such as these, since only a certain pre-programmed pattern can be repeatedly emitted,
It is not possible to freely modify or change the light emission pattern immediately. Also, since a current of about 5 A per light emitter is required as the inrush current when light is emitted, it is possible to change the light emission interval when multiple lights are emitted simultaneously. In the case of shortening, a large current capacity is required, and furthermore, since AC100V is required as an input voltage, when the wiring cord is lengthened, the light emitter and the control unit are not so much used due to voltage attenuation and noise generation. There is a drawback that they cannot be separated and therefore remote control cannot be performed.

Therefore, the present invention was devised in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art. The efficiency of the visual light quantity with respect to the power quantity is good, the time difference of light emission is extremely small, and Freely modify the light emission pattern,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new system strobe that can be changed, can be remotely operated, and can be easily wired and easily installed.

[0009]

In the present invention, as described above, by using the xenon gas discharge tube as the stroboscopic light emitting body, the light emission frequency distribution in the visible light band approaches the ultraviolet region, so that the light quantity can be visually increased. This is an important requirement of this invention.

Further, since the discharge phenomenon of the xenon gas discharge tube rises quickly, the time difference of light emission can be minimized. That is, the light emission interval can be shortened. Further, in the present invention, by installing a photothyristor in the wiring that connects the microcomputer and the xenon gas discharge tube light emitting circuit, the microcomputer and the control console are electrically insulated from each other, so that the discharge phenomenon and the accompanying electrical The malfunction of the system due to noise can be extremely reduced.

The microcomputer and the control console are connected by three signal lines consisting of a positive phase line, a negative phase line and a ground line, and the microcomputer and the control console are grounded in common by the ground line of the three signal lines. By making the ground different from the ground of the xenon gas discharge tube light emitting circuit, it is possible to prevent the influence of electric leakage at the construction site of the system. By having a structure in which the microcomputer and the xenon gas discharge tube light emitting circuit can be arbitrarily separated, maintenance and inspection of each part of the system can be easily performed.

The amount of visual light can be increased.

By sending a control command from the control console to the microcomputer through the balanced signal line, the electrical noise resistance is improved, and therefore, it is possible to perform long-distance transmission of about 100 m to 1 km. In this case, the transmission distance can be dramatically improved by connecting the microcomputer and the control console with an optical fiber. In addition, by transmitting the flashing information of the light emitting sphere for each case by synchronous serial code transmission, and by continuously sending the light emission execution command at the end of the light emitting sphere flashing information, the spheres in the case are simultaneously lit, The time difference in serial code transmission can be minimized.

When the individual identification number and the common identification number are set in the enclosure, the blinking speed is dramatically improved when the blinking information common to all the enclosures is transmitted by using the common identification number.

In the case where the automatic setting is performed by using the corresponding setting when transmitting the blinking information, the degree of freedom of installation at the construction site can be dramatically improved.

Furthermore, in setting the blinking speed of stroboscopic light emission by the xenon gas discharge tube, by using the output of the rotary symbolizer after automatically referring to the logarithmic table, the sensory difference between the rotation angle and the blinking speed is used. Can be minimized. By adding a control information changing function to the control console body, it is possible to arbitrarily set and change the blinking information immediately.
