Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lamp state detector that detects the state of a large number of lamps installed at an airport, an expressway, and the like, and a lamp state monitoring device using the same.
- a large number of lamps (mainly halogen lamps) are installed in the aisles of aircraft in the airport for the purpose of guiding aircraft, etc. It is known that the illuminance decreases due to the centering caused by the deterioration of the lament. Since the reduced illuminance of the lamps hinders aircraft guidance, it was necessary to replace them with new ones before the illuminance of the lamps became lower than the required illuminance.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-249393 discloses a halogen lamp in order to prevent the filament from being cut off in the halogen lamp.
- a device that measures the value of the current flowing through the filament and warns that the core of the filament is near when the measured current value exceeds a preset value has been described.
- JP 250593 measures the illuminance of a lamp, compares the measured illuminance of the lamp with a preset value, and detects and measures the decrease in illuminance of the lamp.
- the lamp replacement time is notified based on the illuminance of the lamp.
- the reason that the illuminance of halogen lamps Blackening and filament breakage were known, but it was thought that there was a correlation between the two. That is, in a halogen lamp, when the filament was decentered, the lamp was blackened. Conversely, when the lamp was blackened, it was thought that the filament was decentered. Therefore, conventionally, the current flowing through the filament is measured as in the first prior art described above to predict the filament breakage, or the illuminance of the lamp is measured as in the second prior art. It was said that it was sufficient to either detect the blackening of the lamp.
- the core breakage of the filament and the blackening of the lamp are individual events, and the illuminance reduction of the lamp is caused by either one. It was clear that this would happen. In other words, it was newly found that the lamp did not blacken even when the filament was broken, or the filament did not break even when the lamp was black.
- the illuminance of the lamp decreases due to the blackening of the lamp, the illuminance gradually decreases over a relatively long period of time, whereas the illuminance decreases due to the core of the filament. In such a case, it was found that the illuminance rapidly decreased in a short time.
- the filament breakage is predicted based on the value of the current flowing through the filament, it is not possible to detect a decrease in illuminance due to blackening of the lamp.
- the illuminance decreases due to the blackening of the lamp even though the filament is not broken, the decrease in illuminance cannot be detected because the current flowing through the filament does not change. Therefore, it was not possible to replace the lamp before the illuminance of the lamp fell below the required illuminance.
- the lamp replacement time is determined based on the measured illuminance. If the illuminance suddenly drops due to the filament cutting, it is difficult to notify the lamp replacement time before the illuminance of the lamp falls below the required illuminance. In other words, the illuminance drops sharply when the filament is cut off, so if the replacement time is notified after the illuminance actually starts to decrease, the illuminance of the lamp must be reduced to the required illuminance before the replacement. In some cases, it would drop.
- An object of the present invention is to reduce the illuminance of a lamp to the required illuminance or less for both the illuminance reduction of the lamp caused by blackening of the lamp and the illuminance of the lamp caused by the breakage of the filament.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a lamp state detector capable of determining a lamp replacement time beforehand and a lamp state monitoring device using the same.
- the feature of the present invention that achieves the above object is to measure the illuminance of light emitted from the lamp, measure the resistance value of the lamp, and determine whether the lamp needs to be replaced based on the measured illuminance and resistance value. Is to judge. As described above, to determine whether lamp replacement is necessary based on the measured illuminance and resistance, if the lamp illuminance decreases due to blackening of the lamp, The lamp replacement time can be determined before the illuminance of the lamp falls below the required illuminance. In addition, when the lamp illuminance is reduced due to the deterioration of the filament and the disconnection, the deterioration is determined before the filament is disconnected based on the measured resistance value.
- the lamp replacement time can be determined before the illuminance of the lamp falls below the required illuminance.
- the lamp must be illuminated before the illuminance falls below the required illuminance. Can be determined.
