DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medical lighting device which is used by being attached to a wall surface above a bedside such as a hospital room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some medical lighting devices are provided with a lamp for indirect lighting of a hospital room mounted on a main body at an upper portion thereof in a horizontal position. For example, various operation units are provided in which operation units such as an outlet, a ground terminal, a power switch, a nurse call, and a television terminal are attached to a support bracket. And
Generally, a console panel having a vertical front surface with a plurality of openings is attached to the front of the main body, and the operation units of the units individually exposed to the openings can be freely operated by a patient or the like. It is configured to be operated.

[0003] The lamp is arranged on the upper part of the main body, and at least the upper part and the upper part thereof are covered with a lamp cover. Even when the lamp cover covers the front of the lamp, the front cover portion located in front of the lamp is provided so as to be flush with the front of the console panel. Further, the lamp cover is entirely formed of a translucent synthetic resin such as milky white, so that the illumination light transmitted through the front cover portion is prevented from being excessively dazzling, and light stimulus to a patient or the like in a room is provided. Has been reduced. Further, instead of such a lamp cover, a lamp cover is used in which a portion covered from above the lamp is transparent and a portion covering the front of the lamp has a light shielding property.

However, in the configuration in which the entire lamp cover is translucent as described above, the amount of light transmitted upward through the cover is small. Therefore, the amount of light is insufficient to indirectly illuminate a hospital room with this medical lighting device. It is a bit. If a high-brightness lamp is used, the amount of indirect illumination can be increased to some extent, but on the other hand, the amount of light transmitted through the front cover increases, and light stimulation to a patient or the like is enhanced. Therefore, it is desired to compensate for the lack of light amount of the indirect lighting without accompanying the enhancement of the light stimulus.

[0005] Further, a lamp cover configured to transmit light only above the lamp, or a configuration in which the lamp cover covers only above the lamp, and a translucent front cover portion, the cover portion of the console panel is provided. In a configuration flush with the front, the front of the console panel cannot be illuminated. Therefore, under the indirect lighting, the operation units of the various operation units exposed on the front surface are difficult to see, and thus the operation thereof is difficult.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to increase the amount of light for indirect illumination without intensifying the light stimulus to a patient or the like, and to perform various operations on the front portion of the console panel. An object of the present invention is to provide a medical lighting device in which a unit can be easily operated.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an invention according to claim 1 has a horizontally long main body having a unit mounting portion and being mounted on a wall surface, and various types mounted on the unit mounting portion. And a console panel attached to the main body, having a front part with a plurality of openings, and individually exposing the operation parts of the respective operation units to the respective openings, and a console panel above the console panel. A translucent bottom cover portion which is provided on the main body in a horizontal posture and which protrudes forward with respect to the front surface portion above the front surface portion, and which is provided above the lamp. A top cover portion, and a translucent front cover portion provided over the both cover portions and positioned in front of the lamp, and provided to cover the lamp. A lamp cover that is, those provided with the.

In the present invention and each of the following inventions, a straight tube fluorescent lamp or a single-ended fluorescent lamp according to claim 7 can be used as the lamp, and the lamp cover is made of synthetic resin or glass. it can. And in this invention and each following invention, a bottom cover part is
It is preferable that the angle between the front panel and the front surface of the console panel is substantially a right angle (front and rear right angles). This is preferable in that the illumination light easily spreads to the front surface portion via the bottom cover portion, as compared with the case where the obtuse angle is large. In the present invention and each of the following inventions, the operation unit includes various types of operation units such as switches, outlets, ground terminals, nurse calls, television terminals, medical gas outlet plugs, and air suction plugs, which are attached to the support bracket. The operation unit according to the specification is used. Further, in the present invention and each of the following inventions, the console panel may be divided into a front part and other parts and connected by appropriate connecting means, or may be integrally formed without being divided. Well, and
The front portion may also be divided into a plurality of panels, or may be integrally formed without being divided.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the light emitted upward from the lamp can be transmitted upward through the cover without substantially being attenuated by the transparent top cover of the lamp cover, thereby providing indirect illumination. Can secure a large amount of light. Further, since the light emitted forward from the lamp is transmitted while being diffused in the translucent front cover portion and the bottom cover portion of the lamp cover, glare when the lighting device is viewed from the front can be reduced. .
Moreover, the bottom cover protrudes forward with respect to the front part of the console panel, and since light is diffused and transmitted in this part as described above, the light is diffused by the bottom cover part located above the front part. The applied light can be transmitted to the front portion to illuminate the front portion. Therefore, the operation units of the various operation units exposed on the front surface can be easily seen.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the console panel has an upper surface portion which extends obliquely upward and rearward and reflects light emitted downward from the lamp to the bottom cover portion. It is characterized by:

In the present invention, the oblique upper surface of the console panel reflects light incident from above on the console panel obliquely downward, thereby transmitting a portion of the reflected light to the bottom cover. Therefore, the amount of light diffused by the bottom cover part increases, and the front part of the console panel can be illuminated more brightly. Moreover, since a part of the light reflected on the upper surface is also incident on the lower side of the front cover, when the lower side of the front cover is farther from the lamp than the upper side, the entire front cover is Brightness unevenness can be reduced.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the front cover portion is retracted toward its lower end.

In the present invention, although the lamp cover protrudes forward with respect to the front portion of the console panel, the entire front cover portion does not protrude at the same protruding width, and retreats toward the lower end side. Because of this, it is possible to make the whole of the lamp cover inconspicuous.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a rear edge of the upper surface portion is formed in a straight line extending straight in a longitudinal direction of the console panel, and a gap is provided between the rear edge and an upper portion of the main body. A member extending from the back side of the console panel to the back side of the lamp cover is passed through the gap.

In the present invention, a member (for example, an electric wire or a gas pipe) extending from the back side of the console panel to the back side of the lamp cover is passed through a gap between the rear edge of the upper surface of the console panel and the upper part of the main body. So you can
It is not necessary to form notches, holes, and the like for passing the above members in the upper surface of the console panel. Further, when a component disposed on the back side of the console panel generates heat, the heat radiation of the heat generating component can be improved by the flow of air passing through the gap.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the lamp cover is made of a synthetic resin, and a projection protruding downward is provided on a bottom cover portion of the lamp cover, and has a groove width similar to that of the projection and is opened upward. A groove is formed on the console panel, and the protrusion is fitted into the groove. In the present invention, the protrusion may or may not be screwed to the front portion of the console panel.

In the present invention, when the lamp cover is attached, the downwardly projecting ridge of the bottom cover can be fitted into the groove of the console panel and supported, so that the lamp cover can be attached without screwing the bottom cover. It can be carried out. In addition, since the ridge is covered and covered by the groove, even if the leading edge of the ridge is undulating, it is not visible, and even if the entire bottom cover of the lamp cover is warped, The lamp cover can be mounted while straightening the lamp cover.

The invention according to claim 6 is characterized in that the upper edge of the main body and the rear edge of the top cover portion are discontinuous, and a communication gap for communicating the inside and outside of the lamp cover is provided therebetween. .

According to the present invention, the amount of material used for the main body or the lamp cover can be reduced by an amount corresponding to the communication gap, and the flow of air passing through the communication gap allows the heat radiation of the lamp disposed on the back side of the lamp cover to be reduced. Performance can be improved.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided a single-ended fluorescent lamp having a bulb bent in a U-shape as the lamp, and the lamp is arranged in a horizontal direction in which mutually parallel pipe portions of the bulb are arranged in the front-rear direction. It is characterized by being placed in a standing posture.

According to the present invention, the amount of light emitted in the vertical direction can be made larger than the amount of light emitted in the forward direction depending on the type and use posture of the lamp. Although the amount of light to the bottom cover that illuminates the front part of the console panel can be increased, the amount of light that illuminates the front cover does not increase, so that glare can be suppressed despite the high luminance of the lamp.

The invention according to claim 8 is that, among the upper part, the front part, and the lower part of the lamp, a dimming member covering at least the front is disposed between the lamp and the lamp cover, and is provided on an upper part of the main body. It is characterized by being provided detachably. In the present invention, for example, a milky white diffusion translucent plate or a punched metal can be used as the dimming member, but the use of the punched metal is excellent in that it does not deform or deteriorate due to the heat of the lamp.

According to the present invention, the light that is going to enter the front cover from the lamp can be attenuated by the dimming member between the front cover of the lamp cover and the lamp, so that the thickness of the front cover is not increased. Thus, glare when the front cover portion is visually recognized can be suppressed. Since the dimming member is detachable, the brightness of the front cover can be adjusted according to the preference of the patient or the like by selecting use or non-use of the dimming member.

According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, the unit mounting portion protrudes so as to approach the rear surface of the front portion, and
The operation unit includes a pair of upper and lower unit mounting seats that are screwed over the front end thereof, and the upper unit mounting portion for the lamp is provided between the upper unit mounting portion and the lamp. It is characterized in that the upper surface portion is arranged so as to cover and hide.

In the present invention, various operation units are mounted on the front end of the unit mounting seat plate protruding forward, so that each operation unit can be shifted to the front with respect to the lamp at a position in the front-rear direction. Since the upper unit mounting portion is covered with the lamp on the upper surface portion of the console panel having an opening through which the operating portion of each operating unit is exposed, light from the lamp does not directly enter the opening. Since the path from the lamp to the opening is bent, light leakage from the opening can be prevented.

The three members 8a to 8c are connected to each other without any need for fixing parts such as screw parts by inserting the parts while sliding slightly.

As described above, since the console panel 8 is made of three parts, when the opening 45 described later is stamped into the console panel 8 by a press die, compared with the case where the three parts are integrally formed. Instead of handling the entire panel 8 having a large cross-sectional shape as a work, it is sufficient to handle only the flat front portion 8a. Therefore, the punch stroke required for the hole punching process is reduced, the mold can be reduced in size and the mold cost can be reduced, and the hole can be punched at a low cost by improving the handling of the work.

The front panel 8a of the console panel 8 has an operation unit 3 corresponding to each of the various units 3 to 7 individually.
A plurality of rectangular openings 45 for exposing a to 7a are provided, and a name tag holder 15 is provided for accommodating a patient's name tag in a removable manner. The upper surface portion 8b of the console panel 8 is formed to extend obliquely rearward, and the rear edge 8bf is formed in a straight line extending straight in the longitudinal direction of the console panel 8, and has a notch groove. Do not have This upper surface portion 8b

Since the wire 47 is passed through the lamp socket 30 disposed on the back side of the upper surface 8b, it is not necessary to form a notch groove, a hole, or the like for passing the wire 47 in the upper surface portion 8b. Therefore, the processing cost of the console panel 8 can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the discharge lamp stabilizer 35 disposed on the back side of the console panel 8 generates heat when used, but generates a flow of air through the gap G1 due to the heat radiation. Squeezing is suppressed, and the heat radiation of the discharge lamp ballast 35 can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lamp 9 for illumination is a one-piece fluorescent lamp bent in a U-shape. The lamp 9 is detachably attached to a lamp socket 30 from an obliquely upper side in such a manner that pipes 9b of the U-shaped bulb 9a parallel to each other are aligned in the front-rear direction. The lamp 9 is detachably fitted from above to the lamp holder 29 and the lamp 9 disposed at the upper end of the main body 2 has its base 9c turned obliquely downward. After the insertion, the base portion 9c is set in the lamp socket 30 by turning the socket 30 downward so as to be horizontal with the socket 30 as a fulcrum. The lamp can be removed at the time of lamp replacement through the reverse procedure.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG.
The lamp cover 10 provided so as to cover and cover the bottom cover 10a is a translucent bottom cover 10a,
b, a two-color synthetic resin product having a translucent front cover part 10c. The bottom cover portion 10a provided so as to cover the lower oblique front of the lamp 9 has a diffuse translucent milky white color.
While projecting forward on the upper side of
A protruding ridge 10d is formed integrally with the rear edge so as to be bent downward. By fitting the ridge 10d into the groove 46, the bottom cover portion 10a is projected forward at a substantially right angle.

The top cover portion 10b is provided so as to cover the upper part of the lamp 9, and transmits light emitted upward from the lamp 9 through the cover portion 10b toward the ceiling of the sick room with almost no attenuation. It has become. 1 and 3, the top cover 10
In order to make it easier to identify the area b, the area is indicated by hatching for the sake of convenience. The rear edge of the top cover portion 10b is slightly bent downward for the purpose of reinforcement, and comes into contact with the wall surface A.

The front cover portion 10c provided to cover the front of the lamp 9 is made of a diffuse translucent milky white, the upper edge of which is integrally connected to the top cover portion 10b, and the lower edge of which is the bottom cover portion 10a. It is connected integrally. The cover portion 10c is curved so as to recede toward the wall surface A as its lower end side.

The lamp cover 10 has a ridge 10d.
Is inserted into the groove 46 of the console panel 8 from above, and the top cover portion 10b is placed on the upwardly-facing first support portions 28a of the pair of brackets 28, and the top cover portion 10b is mounted on these support portions 28a. By connecting with screws screwed through from above, the lamp 9
Mounted over Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4 and the like, the lamp cover 10 is
Is protruded forward of the front surface portion 8a above the front surface portion 8a, and the rear edge of the top cover portion 10b is placed in contact with the wall surface A. In this mounting state, the rear edge of the top cover portion 10b is disposed discontinuously on the wall surface A side with respect to the upper edge of the main body substrate 21, and a communication gap G2 communicating between the inside and outside of the lamp cover 10 is provided therebetween. Is formed. The main substrate 21 is slightly separated from the wall A via a plurality of spacer projections projecting from the back surface.

Accordingly, the heat radiation of the lamp 9 disposed on the back side of the lamp cover 10 due to the flow of the air passing through the communication gap G2, and the outside of the convection air for cooling the discharge lamp stabilizer 34 passing through the gap G1. The heat radiation of the discharge lamp ballast 34 due to discharge to the discharge lamp can also be improved. Moreover, the communication gap G
1 or the body substrate 21 or the lamp cover 1
0 can be used less, contributing to cost reduction. Also, the lamp cover 10 attached as described above is used.
Is projected forward with respect to the front surface portion 8a of the console panel 8, but the front cover portion 10b
Since the entirety of the lamp cover 10 retreats toward the lower end without protruding at the same width, the feeling of the entire lamp cover 10 protruding forward can be made inconspicuous. Therefore, the lighting device 1 installed above the bedside of the patient is excellent in that the feeling of pressure given to the patient can be reduced. However, the present invention can be embodied with a configuration in which the entire front cover portion 10b is protruded with the same width.

The punching metal 12 is used to reduce the glare of the front cover portion 10c as necessary based on the fact that the brightness of the U-shaped lamp 9 is higher than that of the straight tube fluorescent lamp. It is a dimming member installed between the lamp 9 and the inner surface of the lamp cover 10 in response to a request from a patient or the like. The metal 12 has, for example, a vertical piece 12a and a horizontal piece 12b and is bent into an L-shaped cross section, and the vertical piece 12a is placed on the front-facing second support portion 28b of the bracket 28 from the front. Mounted by removably screwing. Punching metal 1
The mounting state of 2 is shown in FIG. 4, and covers the front side and the lower side of the lamp 9, thereby attenuating the light emitted from the lamp 9 to the front cover section 10c and the bottom cover section 10a. The glare of these cover portions 10c and 10a is reduced.

As described above, the light coming from the lamp 9 to enter the front cover portion 10c can be attenuated by the punching metal 12, so that the dazzling when the front cover portion 10c is visually recognized without increasing the thickness of the front cover portion 10c. Can be suppressed. Thus, unlike the case where the thickness of the front cover portion 10c is increased to suppress glare, the glare can be suppressed while the front cover portion 10c does not become yellowish and remains milky white. Since the punching metal 12 is detachable from the bracket 28 with the lamp cover 10 removed, the brightness of the front cover portion 10c can be adjusted according to the preference of the patient or the like by selecting use or non-use. It is possible. Moreover,
In this embodiment, since the punching metal 12 does not cover the upper part of the lamp 9, the light emitted from the lamp 9 is not attenuated upward, and the lamp 9 is replaced while the punching metal 12 is mounted. Can be performed according to the procedure described above.

The pair of left and right side plates 11 are made of synthetic resin and have a shape that closes both side openings of the main body 2 and the lamp cover 10, and can be removed via screws screwed into the upper and lower brackets 26. Mounted on

When the lamp 9 is turned on by operating the switch section 6a of the switch unit 6 of the medical lighting device 1 having the above-described configuration, the lamp cover 10 that covers the upper part of the lamp 9
Is transparent, so that the light emitted upward from the lamp 9 is hardly attenuated,
By transmitting this cover portion 10b upward, a large amount of light for indirect illumination of the hospital room can be secured. On the other hand,
The light emitted forward from the lamp 9 is attenuated by passing through the punching metal 12, and then transmitted while being diffused at the translucent front cover portion 10c and the bottom cover portion 10a of the lamp cover 10. In addition, glare when the lighting device 1 is visually recognized from the front can be reduced.

In particular, in the present embodiment, a U-shaped high-intensity lamp is adopted as the lamp 9 and this lamp 9 has a horizontal operating posture in which the duct 9b of the bulb 9a is arranged in the front-rear direction. Since the amount of light emitted in the vertical direction can be greater than the amount of light emitted in the forward direction, the amount of upward light used for indirect illumination and the bottom cover portion 10a that illuminates the front portion 8a of the console panel 8 as described below. To the front cover 1
Since the amount of light illuminating 0c does not increase, the glare of the front cover 10c can be suppressed despite the high brightness of the lamp 9. In addition, the density of the punch holes of the vertical piece 12a of the punching metal 12 that is responsible for dimming the front cover 10c may be made coarser than the density of the punch holes of the horizontal piece 12b, or the punch holes of the vertical piece 12a. When the diameter is made smaller than the diameter of the punch hole of the horizontal piece 12b, the glare of the front cover 10c can be further suppressed.

The lamp cover 10 is located right above the front surface 8a of the console panel 8 and
Translucent bottom cover part 10a which protrudes forward with respect to
As described above, the light is transmitted while being diffused to the cover portion 10a, so that the light diffused by the bottom cover portion is transmitted to the front portion 8 of the console panel 8.
The front portion 8a can be illuminated by spreading the light to a. Moreover,
The console panel 8 reflects the light incident from the lamp 9 above it obliquely downward by the upper surface portion 8b extending obliquely obliquely upward and rearward, and partially reflects the reflected light to the bottom cover portion 10a. Can be transmitted. Therefore, the amount of light diffused by the bottom cover part 10a is increased, and the front part 8a of the console panel 8 can be illuminated more brightly.
