As shown in FIG. 2, the cover member 3 is fixed to the peripheral portion of the opening 2A with a screw NJ in a state where the cover member 3 is combined with the opening 2A of the main body 2 so that the flange 3F fits into the groove 2M. . A water-proof structure is formed between the main body 2 and the cover member 3 by an uneven structure that fits like the groove 2M and the flange 3F.
Thus, the combination of the main body 2 and the cover member 3 forms an instrument space SS surrounded by the main body 2 and the cover member 3.
In addition, a more preferable waterproof effect is acquired by the structure which accommodates packing in the upper bottom of the groove | channel 2M, and this packing is compressed by the flange 3F.

The light emitting unit substrate 5 is attached to the mounting boss 13 with screws 9. Install. In a state where the light emitting unit substrate 5 is attached to the mounting boss 13, the heat conductive rib 11 contacts the upper surface of the light emitting unit substrate 5 at a position facing the back side (upper surface side) of the LED element 7, and the light emitting unit substrate 5 is the main body 2. The heat generated by the LED element 7 is transferred to the main body 2 through the light emitting unit substrate 5 and is dissipated from the main body 2.

  Note that a heat conductive film (not shown) for heat dissipation is formed on the upper surface of the light emitting unit substrate 5 so as not to be electrically connected to the printed wiring on the lower surface. A further heat transfer effect to the main body 2 is obtained.

  Further, in a state where the light emitting unit substrate 5 is attached to the mounting boss 13 in this manner, the light emitting unit substrate 5 is located at a position slightly closer to the space 4 side than the opening 2A (position entering the front space 4A side). The state is substantially parallel to the opening 2A. The internal space 4 of the main body 2 is formed so as to gradually become deeper from the front portion toward the rear portion (becomes gradually higher upward with the opening 2A as a reference). Between the upper wall 2T and the surrounding wall 2S and the light emitting unit substrate 5, an air passage extending obliquely upward and forward from the rear part of the main body 2 and communicating with the front end and the rear end of the heat conducting rib 11 is formed. Heat in the main body 2 is effectively dissipated from the main body 2 by the air flowing through the air passage.

In the luminaire 1, the control unit 15 that controls lighting and extinguishing of the LED elements 7 is disposed in the rear space 4 </ b> B located behind the front space 4 </ b> A. The control unit 15 includes a power supply unit 16 and a lighting control circuit unit 17 that controls whether or not the output power of the power supply unit 16 is supplied to the LED element 7.
The lighting control circuit unit 17 is connected to the illuminance sensor 19, and the illuminance sensor 19 detects the illuminance around the luminaire 1 and turns on the LED element 7 when the illuminance decreases from bright illuminance to a predetermined dark illuminance, When the illuminance rises again to a predetermined level, the LED element 7 is operated to be turned off.
The illuminance sensor 19 is attached to the sensor substrate 23 and detects external illuminance through a translucent lighting member 24 fitted in a lighting hole 2 </ b> K formed on the rear wall of the main body 2.

  The control unit 15 has a configuration in which a required electronic circuit component 15E is disposed on a printed circuit board 15P. The control board 15P extends from the upper wall 2T of the main body 2 or the upper part of the peripheral wall 2S to the rear space 4B. The mounting boss 18B is fixed with screws. Thus, the control board 15P is arranged in the front-rear direction by being arranged horizontally in the upper and lower intermediate portions of the rear space 4B.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, the lighting fixture 1 includes a lighting fixture-side communication control unit 20 that performs a signal reception operation with an external communication control unit. The luminaire-side communication control unit 20 includes an antenna 21 and has a function of issuing a lighting / extinguishing control signal of the light emitting unit 6 to the lighting control circuit unit 17 of the control unit 15 based on a signal from an external communication control unit.
For this reason, the lighting fixture side communication control part 20 has the antenna 21 and the communication module 22 which has a communication operation circuit. The communication module 22 has a wireless communication function and has a configuration in which required electronic circuit components 22E are arranged on a communication module board 22P that is printed and wired.

  The power supply unit 16 is an AC / DC conversion unit that converts the AC power AC into DC power when the power supplied to the lighting fixture 1 is commercial AC power AC, and can be charged when it is a battery. It is a storage battery. The DC power that is the output of the power supply unit 16 is also supplied to the lighting control circuit unit 17 and the communication module 22 as power supply power.

  The antenna 21 has a configuration in which a desired shape such as a quadrilateral shape, a spiral shape, or a zigzag shape is formed on one side surface or both side surfaces of the antenna substrate 21P by a printing technique. The antenna 21 is electrically connected to the wiring of the communication module substrate 22P.

The antenna 21 and the communication module 22 are covered with an opaque (opaque) and radio wave transmissive auxiliary cover member 25 in the space inside the cover member 3 of the instrument space SS, and below the control unit 15 disposed in the rear space 4B. The positions are arranged at intervals. In this case, at least the antenna 21 should just be arrange | positioned in the space in the cover member 3 of the instrument space SS.
The cover member 3 has a shape in which a cover portion 3P that covers the antenna 21 and the communication module 22 bulges downward.

  Due to the presence of the auxiliary cover member 25, the control board 15P, the antenna board 21P, the communication module board 22P, and the electronic circuit components attached to them are not visually recognized from the outside of the lighting fixture 1 even by the light emission of the light emitting unit 6. It is preferable as an appearance design. Further, when the cover member 3 is removed from the main body 2 to perform internal inspection or cleaning of the inner surface of the cover member 3, the auxiliary cover member 25 covers the antenna 21 and the communication module 22. The operator's hand does not touch 15 and it is safe and secure.

The auxiliary cover member 25 is screwed to an attachment boss 26 extending from the upper part of the upper wall 2T or the peripheral wall 2S of the main body 2 to the rear space 4B at an appropriate position.
The rear portion of the auxiliary cover member 25 may be screwed to the mounting boss 26, and the front portion of the auxiliary cover member 25 may be screwed to the mounting boss 13 together with the rear portion of the light emitting unit substrate 5.

  When the auxiliary cover member 25 is made of white or other synthetic resin, the communication module substrate 22P is screwed to a mounting boss integrally formed on the inner surface of the auxiliary cover member 25, and the communication module 22 is electrically connected to the control unit 15. Connected with a connector.

  1 to 3, the cover member 3 combined with the main body 2 so as to cover the lower surface opening 2 </ b> A of the internal space 4 of the main body 2 has the light distribution arranged corresponding to the front space 4 </ b> A. The part 82 and the part which covers the control part 15, the antenna 21, and the communication module 22 arranged corresponding to the rear space 4B are integrally formed.

The antenna 21 is partly or wholly located closer to the cover member 3 than the lower surface opening 2A in the instrument space SS in order to be able to sufficiently receive a signal from the external communication control unit, and from the light emitting unit 6 Is also located on the mounting portion 10 side.
A preferable state is that the antenna 21 is entirely located on the cover member 3 side of the lower surface opening 2A in the fixture space SS, but the reception status of the antenna 21 is not deteriorated by the surrounding environment of the lighting fixture 1. is necessary.

For this reason, the pattern surface of the antenna substrate 21 </ b> P is in a state in which the pattern surface is directed toward the side surface of the cover member 3, or in a state in which the pattern surface is directed forward or rearward of the cover member 3. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the communication module substrate 22 </ b> P is arranged in the lateral direction along the lower surface opening 2 </ b> A and toward the front-rear direction.

In this configuration, radio waves are transmitted to and received from an external communication control unit.

  In order to supply power from the external power source AC to the lighting fixture 1, the external AC power supply line supplied to the lighting fixture 1 has an insulating rubber bushing 28 inserted into a through hole 27 formed in the rear wall of the main body 2. A power connector that penetrates and is attached to the tip of the power connector is electrically connected to the power unit 16 of the control unit 15.

  When the luminaire 1 has a reception function, the communication module 22 includes a reception circuit that performs an expected operation such as reception / amplification of a radio signal. For this reason, for example, the antenna 21 receives a lighting command or a lighting command from an external communication control unit, the communication module 22 receives the received signal, and the lighting control circuit unit 17 of the control unit 15 outputs the received signal according to the output of the communication module 22. Then, the DC power of the power supply unit 16 is supplied to the light emitting unit 6 or the supply is stopped, and the LED element 7 is turned on or off.

For this reason, in the case where the light emitting unit substrate 5 is provided with a red light emitting LED element for disaster warning in addition to the normal illumination LED 7, an alarm command issued from an external communication control unit when a disaster occurs is received by the antenna 21. Then, the control unit 15 is operated through the communication module 22, and the red light emitting LED element is turned on by the direct current power of the power supply unit 16, and an alarm can be issued to the citizens.
Further, the illuminator 1 is not provided with the illuminance sensor 19, but an illuminance sensor is provided in an external communication control unit installed in the regional management center, and an external communication control unit It is also possible to perform this by a command. Also in this case, a lighting / extinguishing command issued from an external communication control unit is received by the antenna 21 and the lighting control circuit unit 17 of the control unit 15 operates through the communication module 22 to turn on / off the LED element 7.

The lighting fixture 1 can be provided with a transmission / reception function, an external communication control unit can be installed in the management center, and bidirectional communication can be performed with the external communication control unit. In this case, the communication module 22 includes a transmission / reception circuit for receiving and transmitting a radio signal.
For example, the luminaire 1 has a failure detection function such as malfunction of the illuminance sensor 19, non-emission of the LED element 7, malfunction of the control unit 15, malfunction of the lighting control circuit unit 17, etc. It can be set as the system which manages the some lighting fixture 1.
