Specific embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 7, the outdoor lighting fixture 1 according to the present invention has an overall shape elongated in the front-rear direction, and has a light-emitting portion 6. As shown in FIGS. Since the present invention is an outdoor lighting fixture, the light emitting part 6 should have at least an emergency light emitting part 6B. and an emergency light-emitting portion 6B that lights with the power of the storage battery 20.
Each of the regular light emitting portion 6A and the emergency light emitting portion 6B includes LED elements 7, which are a plurality of light emitting diodes.

The outdoor lighting device 1 is mounted on a support such as a pole or utility pole installed on the side of a road, and is in a state of being substantially orthogonal to the road. It has a light distribution characteristic that spreads mainly in the horizontal direction so that the light emitted from the element 7 is distributed in the longitudinal direction of the road.

Specifically, the outdoor lighting fixture 1 includes a non-translucent metal or resin lighting fixture main body 2 (hereinafter referred to as the main body 2), and a lighting fixture attached to the main body 2 below the outdoor lighting fixture 1. It has a light-emitting portion 6 for illuminating an area, a storage battery 20, an electric circuit portion 40, and a translucent cover 23 attached to the main body 2 in close contact so as to cover the light-emitting portion 6 from below and cover an opening 2A, which will be described later.
The main body 2 has a top wall 2T and a peripheral wall 2S descending from the top wall 2T, and is made of die-cast aluminum or the like having an internal space 4 formed with an opening 2A surrounded by the peripheral wall 2S and opening downward. It is made of a heat-conductive material or a weather-resistant material such as an ASB injection-molded product, and is elongated in the front-rear direction.
The main body 2 has an attachment portion 10 attached to a predetermined support portion such as a pole or utility pole at the rear portion of the main body 2 . When the main body 2 is made of metal, the mounting portion 10 is formed integrally with the main body 2 or a separate metal mounting member is attached to the main body 2 . Moreover, when the main body 2 is made of resin, a separate metal mounting member is attached to the main body 2 .

The light-transmitting cover 23 has a dish-like or tray-like shape with an annular peripheral wall protruding upward from the peripheral edge of a flat plate-shaped bottom plate so as to form a container shape with an upper opening. It is attached to the part in a watertight state via packing.

The outdoor lighting device 1 of the embodiment includes both a regular light emitting portion 6A and an emergency light emitting portion 6B as the light emitting portion 6. FIG. Both the regular light emitting portion 6A and the emergency light emitting portion 6B are portions for emitting light emitted by the LED elements (light emitting diodes) 7 with a predetermined light distribution, and are located under the rectangular plate-like LED-mounted circuit board 5. A plurality of LED elements 7 are arranged on the side surface in a slightly projecting state downward, and each LED element 7 is a light distribution unit 8 having a lens function for downwardly irradiating light emitted from the LED elements 7 with a predetermined light distribution. It is a covered configuration. The light distribution unit 8 has a lens portion 8R corresponding to each LED element 7 . A device in which the light-emitting portion 6 is arranged on the lower surface of the LED-mounted circuit board 5 is called a light source unit.

The LED mounting circuit board 5 and the light distribution unit 8 are both attached to the lower surface of the flat plate-like light emitting section mounting portion 9A of the light emitting section mounting plate 9 made of metal such as aluminum with screws. The LED mounting circuit board 5 is attached to the lower surface of the light-emitting portion mounting plate 9 so that the light-emitting portion 6 is arranged along the opening 2A of the main body 2, and is fixed to the mounting boss of the main body 2 with screws NJ. be. By this fixation, most of the lower opening 2A of the internal space 4 is covered with the light emitting part mounting plate 9.
As a result, when the main body 2 is made of metal, the heat generated when the LED element 7 emits light is transferred to the main body 2 through the light-emitting part mounting plate 9 and diffused from the main body 2 . In addition, when the body 2 is made of resin, the heat generated when the LED element 7 emits light is partly diffused from the body 2, but is transmitted from the metal light-emitting part mounting plate 9 to the metal mounting part 10. and is diffused from the mounting portion 10 . For this reason, the light-emitting unit mounting plate 9 is called the heat sink 9 of the light-emitting unit 6 .

The light distribution unit 8 is made of a transparent resin such as acrylic or polycarbonate so that the light emitted from the LED element 7 is distributed in the left-right direction of the lighting fixture 1. It has a shape such as an anti-arc shape. As a result, the light emitted from the LED element 7 has a light distribution characteristic that is elongated in the left-right direction, such as an elliptical shape or an oval shape.
For this reason, the lighting device 1 is mounted on a predetermined support portion P by the mounting portion 10 in a normal state so that the lighting device 1 is arranged in a substantially orthogonal state with respect to the road extending in the left-right direction. , the light distribution characteristic is such that the light emitted from the LED element 7 is distributed mainly in the left-right direction so that the light distribution in the front-rear direction of the lighting fixture 1 is suppressed and the light is distributed in the longitudinal direction of the road.

In the illustrated embodiment, the plurality of LED elements 7 of the normal light-emitting portion 6A are arranged linearly in the front-rear direction on both left and right sides of the LED-mounted circuit board 5, and the plurality of LED elements 7 of the emergency light-emitting portion 6B are arranged linearly. are arranged linearly in the front-rear direction at the central portion of the LED-mounted circuit board 5 inside the LED element 7 rows of the left and right regular light emitting portions 6A.
Regardless of this arrangement, the emergency light emitting part 6B may be arranged in the front part of the LED-mounted circuit board 5, and the normal light emitting part 6A may be arranged in the rear part thereof.

An electric circuit section 40 is attached to the rear side, which is the upper surface of the light-emitting section mounting plate 9 , and arranged in the internal space 4 . The electric circuit section 40 includes a power supply circuit 41 and a light emission control circuit 42 .
The power supply circuit 41 is an AC/DC conversion circuit that converts commercial AC power, which is external power introduced through an electric wire passing through the rear wall of the main body 2, into DC power necessary for light emission of the LED element 7 of the regular light emitting section 6A. , a charging circuit for the storage battery 20, and a power failure detection circuit for detecting power failure of commercial AC power.
The light emission control circuit 42 controls the lighting and extinguishing of the LED element 7 of the regular light emitting section 6A using the DC power output from the power supply circuit 41 . The light emission control circuit 42 includes an illuminance sensor circuit that outputs detected power based on the illuminance detection of the illuminance sensor that detects the illuminance around the outdoor lighting fixture 1, and the LED element of the regular light emitting unit 6A based on the output of the illuminance sensor circuit. 7 includes a lighting control circuit for controlling lighting and extinguishing. By this lighting control circuit, the LED element 7 of the regular light emitting portion 6A can be controlled so as to be extinguished during the daytime and illuminated at nighttime.

A storage battery 20 for supplying electric power for lighting the LED element 7 of the emergency light-emitting portion 6B is accommodated in a region 4B behind the region where the electric circuit portion 40 is attached in the internal space 4 . The lower side of the storage battery 20 is supported by a storage battery support plate 30 that is detachably or movably supported in the front-rear direction, and the storage battery 20 can be replaced.

The outdoor installation type lighting fixture 1 performs an inspection for checking the lighting operation of the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting portion 6B in order to check the transition of the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting portion 6B from the off state to the lit state. A switch 50 is provided. In addition, in order to indicate by lighting (light emission) that the storage battery 20 is being charged by charging power being supplied to the storage battery 20, or to indicate that the storage battery 20 is in a predetermined state of charge such as full charge by lighting (light emission). A monitoring light-emitting element 53 is provided for display. The monitoring light-emitting element 53 is an LED (light-emitting diode) or the like that emits light using the power of the storage battery 20 .
An inspection switch 50 having a built-in monitor light emitting element 53 is provided so that the lighting state of the monitor light emitting element 53 can be visually recognized from the outside.
The inspection switch 50 can form a power failure state by operating the inspection switch 50 to cut off the supply of the commercial AC power to the outdoor lighting fixture 1 in a normal state where the commercial AC power is not in a power failure state. Thus, by setting the lighting mode (light emission mode) in which the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting section 6B is forcibly turned on (lighted) by the power of the storage battery 20, the lighting of the emergency light emitting section 6B can be confirmed. .

The inspection switch 50 includes a light-transmitting pressing operation portion 51, a contact 52 that performs a switching operation when the pressing operation portion 51 is manually pressed, and a monitor light-emitting element 53 built in the pressing operation portion 51 on the far side. be. FIG. 5 shows the contact 52 and the monitoring light emitting element 53 for explanation.
While the pressing operation portion 51 is in the pressed state, the contact 52 is opened (this is called a switch operating state), whereby a predetermined control circuit operates and the power of the storage battery 20 lights (emits light) the emergency light emitting portion 6B. When the pressure on the pressing operation portion 51 is released, the contact 52 is closed (this is called a switch reset state), whereby the predetermined control circuit operates to turn off the emergency light emitting portion 6B (becomes non-light emitting). is.
In addition, while the contact 52 is open, the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting portion 6B is turned on (lights emitted), so that the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting portion 6B is forced to emit light. Therefore, in a normal state in which the commercial AC power is not cut off, it is possible to confirm that the emergency light-emitting portion 6B is turned on regardless of whether it is day or night.

In addition, the LED element 7 of the regular light emitting portion 6A is turned off in the daytime when the commercial AC power is not in a blackout state. If a forced lighting mechanism is employed, lighting of the regular light emitting portion 6A can be checked.
The reason why the switch is in the activated state only while the pressing operation portion 51 is in the pressed state is that the switch is always in the reset state when the pressing operation portion 51 is released. This is to prevent

The storage battery 20 is normally charged by commercial AC power through the charging circuit, and is in a fully charged state or a nearly fully charged state (such a state is referred to as a predetermined charged state). Therefore, in a normal state in which commercial AC power is supplied, lighting of the monitor light emitting element 53 can notify that the storage battery 20 is being charged or is in a predetermined charging state such as full charge.
The lighting of the monitor light emitting element 51 can be visually observed from the outside of the outdoor lighting fixture 1 through the translucent cover 23 . Therefore, in a normal state in which commercial AC power is supplied, lighting of the monitor light emitting element 51 can be confirmed from below the outdoor lighting fixture 1 .
Also, the monitoring light emitting element 53 can be configured to light up even when the inspection switch 50 is pressed.

In a normal state in which commercial AC power is supplied, the storage battery 20 is in a predetermined charged state by the commercial AC power, and can supply power for lighting the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting section 6B.
When the commercial AC power is cut off, that is, in an emergency, the power supply to the LED element 7 of the regular light emitting section 6A is cut off and the regular light emitting section 6A is put into the off mode. 20, a lighting mode is entered in which the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting portion 6B is forcibly turned on.
In this way, in an emergency, the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting unit 6B can always be in a continuous lighting state, but it is turned off during the daytime by the lighting control circuit based on the output of the illuminance sensor circuit based on the detection of the illuminance sensor. It can be controlled to light up at night, and by suppressing power consumption, the emergency lighting time is extended.
When the commercial AC power is restored and the normal state is restored, the power failure detection circuit detects the normal state, and the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting portion 6B enters the extinguishing mode and is extinguished. On the other hand, the LED element 7 of the regular light emitting portion 6A is put into the lighting mode, and as described above, it is turned off during the day and turned on at night by the lighting control circuit.

In addition, an emergency signal receiving circuit is provided in the outdoor installation type lighting fixture 1, and in the event of an emergency such as a disaster, based on the emergency signal issued by the local government, etc., the emergency light emitting unit The LED element 7 of 6B may be forcibly lit, or in an emergency, the power of the storage battery 20 may be used to forcibly light the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting unit 6B at night by control based on the detection of the illuminance sensor. can be In these cases, the LED element 7 of the emergency light-emitting portion 6B emits light in a color different from that of the normal light-emitting portion 6A, thereby making the emergency notification clearer.

The LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting part 6B has the same color as that of the LED element 7 of the regular light emitting part 6A, so that it can be used as an auxiliary light source when the LED element 7 of the regular light emitting part 6A stops emitting light in an emergency. can be done.
In order to use the emergency light-emitting portion 6B as an auxiliary light source, the number of LED elements 7 in the emergency light-emitting portion 6B should be considerably smaller than the number of LED elements 7 in the normal light-emitting portion 6A, as shown in the figure. As a result, the power consumption of the storage battery 20 is suppressed, and the lighting time of the LED element 7 of the emergency light emitting portion 6B is lengthened.
In this embodiment, the number of LED elements 7 in the emergency light emitting section 6B is 6 arranged in a line, and the number of LED elements 7 in the normal light emitting section 6A is arranged in 15 pieces on each side, for a total of 30 pieces.

The present invention relates to the arrangement of the monitor light emitting element 53 for indicating that the storage battery 20 is in a predetermined state of charge. 4, and the inspection switch 50 is attached downward to the monitor attachment portion 9D so that the lighting state of the monitor light emitting element 53 can be visually recognized from below.

The monitoring light-emitting element 53 is arranged downward in the front region 4A of the internal space 4 at a position above the substrate 5 so that the lighting state can be visually recognized.
The light-emitting unit mounting plate 9 has a light-transmitting space 90 (also referred to as a light-transmitting window 90) formed by a notch 91 at the front end part away from the substrate 5, and a light-transmitting space above the emergency light-emitting unit 6B. and has a monitor mounting portion 9K bent to correspond to the translucent space portion 90, and the monitor light emitting element 53 includes the emergency light emitting portion 6B in a state of being attached to the monitor mounting portion 9K. It is positioned above the light-emitting portion 6 , and the lighting state can be visually recognized through the light-transmitting space portion 90 and the light-transmitting cover 23 and the light-transmitting pressing operation portion 51 from below the outdoor lighting fixture 1 .

As a preferred form, as shown in the figure, the light-emitting part mounting plate 9 has a notch 91 at the front end of the light-emitting part mounting plate 9, which is positioned forward of the light-emitting part 6 including the emergency light-emitting part 6B. , and a monitor mounting portion 9K formed by bending a part of the light emitting portion mounting plate 9 so as to correspond to the light transmitting space portion 90 positioned above the light emitting portion 6 including the emergency light emitting portion 6B.
As a result, when the inspection switch 50 is attached to the monitor attachment portion 9K, the lighting state of the monitor light-emitting element 53 through the light-transmitting space portion 90 is detected by the light-transmitting cover 23 and the light-transmitting pressing operation portion 51. visible from below through the

Specifically, the light-emitting unit mounting plate 9, to which the substrate 5 is mounted on the lower side surface, has a part of its front end bent upward at a notch 91 to form a monitor mounting portion 9K. With the light emitting unit mounting plate 9 arranged along the opening 2A, the monitor mounting unit 9K is arranged above the substrate 5 in the middle or upper part of the internal space 4. As shown in FIG. As a result, the monitor mounting portion 9K is located above the light emitting portion 6. As shown in FIG.
The inspection switch 50 is attached to the monitor attachment portion 9K so that the lighting state of the monitor light emitting element 53 can be visually recognized from below. The lighting state can be seen outdoors through a translucent space 90 formed in front of the light-emitting unit mounting portion 9A of the light-emitting unit mounting plate 9 through a notch 91 that is arranged in the space 4 and forms the monitor mounting portion 9K. It becomes visible from below the installation type lighting fixture 1 .

For this reason, the pressing operation portion 51 of the inspection switch 50 is placed above the light emitting portion 6 in the middle or upper portion of the internal space 4, and the normal light emitting portion 6A and the emergency light emitting portion of the light emitting portion 6 are arranged. The emitted light of 6B does not interfere with the visual recognition of the lighting state of the monitor light emitting element 53 .
In addition, since the inspection switch 50 is arranged at a position on the far side of the front region of the internal space 4 whose lower part is covered with the light emitting part mounting plate 9, this part is not exposed to the light emitted from the light emitting part 6 or the outdoor lighting. It becomes a place darker than the surroundings of the instrument 1 . Therefore, the lighting state of the monitor light emitting element 53 can be easily seen from below the translucent cover 23 .
In addition, since the monitor mounting portion 9K, which is the mounting portion for the inspection switch 50, is formed by bending a part of the front end portion of the light-emitting portion mounting plate 9, there is no need to use a special member for mounting the inspection switch 50. Since the positioning of the inspection switch 50 in the internal space 4 is uniquely determined by the attachment of the light-emitting part mounting plate 9 to the main body 2, the outdoor lighting fixture 1 can be easily assembled.
Further, the installation position of the inspection switch 50 in the point interior space 4 is such that the inspection switch 50 can be pressed from below the outdoor installation type lighting fixture 1 in a state where the translucent cover 23 opens the opening 2A. position.
