Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable both hands work in the reverse side of a body, and improve safety and efficiency, by reflecting light, which emitted from a light equipment on a lift leg on the side of an automobile, on a whitely sheeted or whitely painted floor while keeping away from the visual field of a worker, and thereby lighting the reverse side of the body. CONSTITUTION:A light equipment 3 is located on a leg 2' of a maintenance lift 2 for an automobile 1 in a position where light from it doesn't directly come into a worker's eyes, namely the protective angle 4 is more than 0 deg.. Also, a white vinyl chloride sheet 6, which is excellently waterproof and oilproof and given the water repellent finishing, is stuck on a floor surface 5 under the automobile 1. As a result, light 7 emitted from the light equipment 3 reflects on the white sheet 6 to become to reflected light 7', and lights the reverse of the body. Therefore, almost all of light required on the working in the reverse side of the body can be available, and, since the worker can work with freely using both hands, it is possible to improve safety and efficiency of the work.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting system for facilitating maintenance and inspection work in an automobile repair shop.

Conventional technology Traditionally, lighting in automobile repair shops was the same as in general factories.
As shown in Figure 2, a lighting fixture 9 was installed on the ceiling of the building. Therefore, the maintenance of 100 Automobile Body History was in a backlit situation, and the work was very rotational.

In addition, various measures have been taken to solve the above-mentioned problems, such as installing fluorescent lamps embedded in the floor, but the light source does not come directly into the worker's field of vision.
There are many problems such as difficulty in maintenance and inspection, and it is not put into practical use. Therefore, areas that are difficult to see are locally illuminated using incandescent hunt lamps, but this is not popular because it occupies one hand of the worker.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As mentioned above, the method of lighting from the top of the automatic 1 yen 1 does not illuminate the back of the vehicle body, and if the back of the vehicle body is directly illuminated, the light source will enter the field of view of the worker. Work is restricted. In addition, hunt lamps and floor-mounted auxiliary lighting have the problem of being impractical because they obstruct the worker's one hand and pose a danger to the worker's feet during work.

The present invention provides a lighting system for automobile maintenance that solves the above-mentioned problems.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, a lighting device is attached to the support of a drop-off machine used for car maintenance, and when the car body is lifted up for maintenance, A floor under or around the vehicle body with a nearly white sheet or painted floor to improve reflection efficiency is installed to prevent light from the upper side of the vehicle from directly entering the field of view of the worker. The above-mentioned conventional problems are solved by making the light incident on the floor surface and using the reflected light from the floor surface to illuminate the back of the vehicle body.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, the automobile maintenance lighting system according to the present invention will be specifically explained using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the lighting system according to the present invention, and as shown in the figure, a lighting fixture 3 is installed on a column 2' of a maintenance lift 812 of an automatic g11.

In this case, the lighting fixture 3 is placed in a position where the light from the lighting fixture 3 does not directly enter the eyes of the worker, that is, the protective angle 4 is 0° or more. Further, a white sheet 6 made of vinyl chloride, which has excellent water resistance and oil resistance, and is treated to be water repellent, is pasted on the floor surface 5 under the automobile 1. Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the light 7 emitted from the lighting fixture 3 is reflected on the white sheet 6 and becomes reflected light 7', which illuminates the back of the bag.

Next, the table below shows the results of comparing the illuminance of the back of the car body in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention and the conventional system shown in Fig. 2 in which the lighting equipment is mounted on the ceiling. Two mercury lamps were used.

As is clear from the table above, the illumination effect on the back of the car body in the embodiment of the present invention is about 10 times that of the conventional system, allowing workers to use both hands freely while still providing the necessary brightness for work on the back of the car body. For the most part you get it.

In the above embodiment, a white sheet was installed under the car body, but a white sheet was installed around the bottom of the car body, and the light reflected from the white sheet illuminated the back of the car body. It's okay.

Furthermore, instead of using a white sheet, the floor surface itself may be coated with a coating having good reflection efficiency.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the lighting system for automobile maintenance according to the present invention provides most of the brightness necessary for working on the back side of the car body, and also allows the worker to work while using both hands freely. , the impact on improving the safety and efficiency of automobile maintenance work is extremely large.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Lighting equipment is attached to the pillars of elevators used for car maintenance, and when the car body is elevated for maintenance, the reflective efficiency is improved by using a nearly white sheet or painting under or around the car body. A lighting system for automobile maintenance that is characterized by having a floor installed.
