Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a fluorescent lighting fixture, and relates to a structure for attaching a reflector to a lighting fixture body.

Conventionally, this type of fluorescent lighting equipment has a structure in which the reflector is attached to socket mounts provided at both ends of the equipment body, or to mounting brackets provided on the equipment body for attaching the reflector. However, in the conventional structure in which the reflector is attached to the socket mounting base, the reflector is attached close to the socket, so when attaching the reflector, a hand or a screwdriver may hit the socket, resulting in manual work of the mount. In addition, in a structure where the mounting bracket is attached to the device body and the reflector is attached to this mounting bracket, the mounting bracket must be attached to the device body by screwing, caulking, or spot welding. However, as the number of parts increases, the assembly work becomes complicated, and the instrument body requires threading, cuts or welding marks appear, impairing the aesthetic appearance and weakening the strength. It has drawbacks such as high cost.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and by attaching the reflector plate directly to the ballast case fixed inside the lighting equipment body using a mounting bracket, there is no need to replace the ballast as a part that changes the shape of the ballast. To provide a lighting fixture for a fluorescent lamp that does not show screws, notches, or weld marks on the outside, has increased strength, has good assembly workability, and is inexpensive.

The present invention includes a lighting fixture body in the form of an elongated figure with an opening on at least one side, a ballast housed in a ballast case fixed inside the fixture body, and a reflector plate covering the opening surface of the fixture body. A reflector plate covering the opening surface of the device main body is directly attached to the stabilizer case using a fixture.

Next, the structure of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an elongated, slender inter-word device body consisting of a top surface portion 2 and both side surface portions 3, 3 with an open bottom surface, and socket mounting bases 5.5 are attached to both ends of the opening surface 4 of this device body 1. A lamp socket 6.6 is attached to the lower part of the socket mounts 5, 5 to which the caps at both ends of a straight tube lamp are mounted.

Reference numeral 7 designates a stabilizer case, which includes an upper surface portion 8, both side portions 9, 9 that are bent downward from both side edges of the upper surface portion 8 and are lower than the side portions 3 of the instrument body 1, and Bent parts 10.1 bent horizontally from the lower edge in directions facing each other
0, this ballast case 7 is longer than the ballast 11 housed in this ballast case 7, and has heat dissipation parts 1 on both ends.
2 is formed.

The ballast 11 is housed inside the ballast case 7, leaving the heat radiating parts 12 at both ends of the ballast case 7.

This ballast case 7 has a top surface 8 of the ballast case 7 in close contact with the top surface 2 of the instrument main body 1, and heat dissipation portions 12 at both ends of the top surface 8.
It is fixed with a bolt 19 or the like.

Further, a screw hole 13 is formed at one end of one bent portion 10 of the stabilizer case 7.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a reflector plate, and cutout portions 15, 15 are formed on both edges for arranging the lamp socket 6, and fitting edges 16, 16, which fit on both sides of the device main body 1, are bent on both edges. It is formed.

Further, a screw insertion hole 17 is bored in this reflection plate 14 at a position corresponding to the screw hole 13 of the stabilizer case 7.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

To attach the reflector 14 to the appliance body 1, a lamp socket 6°6 is provided in the notches 15.15 at both ends of the reflector 14, and the reflector 14 is attached to the appliance body 1. The screw insertion hole 1 of the reflector plate 14 is fitted so as to cover the opening surface 4 of the reflector plate 14.
A screw 18 serving as a fixture is inserted into 7, and this screw 18 is screwed into a threaded hole 13 of a stabilizer case 7 fixed inside the instrument main body 1.

In the embodiment described above, the screw 18 is used as a mounting device, and the screw insertion hole 1 of the reflector 14 is inserted into the screw hole 13 of the stabilizer case 7.
Screw together the screw 18 inserted into the reflector 1 to the instrument body 1.
4 has been explained, but as shown in FIG.
The length that allows insertion of the flat oblong hook portion 21 of 0 and the hook portion 2
1 is rotatable and opens an elongated locking hole 23 narrower than the hook portion 21, and the locking hole 23 of the stabilizer case 7 of the reflector plate 14 is opened. The length that allows the hook portion 21 of the fixture 20 to be inserted into the position corresponding to the length and the diameter of the retaining portion 24 formed at the base of the hook portion 21 and the support rod portion 22 such that the support rod portion 22 is rotatable. Open the narrower elongated engagement hole 25, fit the reflector 14 into the instrument body 1, and insert the fixture 20 into the engagement hole 25 of the reflector 14.
and the retaining part 24 inserted into the locking hole 23 of the stabilizer case 7.
Touch the bottom surface of the device with a screwdriver, etc., and rotate the device body 1.
A reflector plate 14 can also be attached to.

According to the present invention, there is no need to replace the shape-changing part of the ballast case, in which the reflector plate is attached to the ballast case fixed in the lighting equipment body using a fixture, and the number of parts can be substantially reduced. The number of parts is small, which improves assembly workability, and there is no need to form welding marks, screw holes, or cuts on the device body, so the aesthetics are not compromised, and the strength is stable. Since the reflector is attached in the middle of the device body, there is nothing that will get in the way of the installation work of the socket etc., which improves the workability of attaching the reflector, and there is also the risk of the product being shipped without the ballast attached. There is something that doesn't exist.
