The fixture body 1 further has a pair of reflecting plates 13, a pair of end plates 14, and a frame portion 15.

[0036] The main body 10 has a base plate 100 formed in a long rectangular shape, and a pair of side plates 101 bent downward from both ends (front and rear ends) along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 100 (see Figure 3).

[0037] The base plate 100 has two insertion holes 102 and one power supply hole 103. The two insertion holes 102 are circular holes provided at positions near both ends in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) of the base plate 100. A suspension bolt 90, which is a construction member, is inserted into each insertion hole 102 (see FIG. 2).

[0038] The power supply hole 103 is a circular hole provided in the center in the longitudinal direction of the base plate 100. A power supply cable 91 connected to a utility power supply is pulled into the power supply hole 103 (see FIG. 3). The power supply cable 91 is, for example, a three-core VVF (vinyl insulated vinyl sheath flat) cable.

[0039] Two terminal blocks 23 are attached to the underside of the base plate 100 between the power supply hole 103 and the right-side insertion hole 102 (see Figs. 2 and 3). A power cable 91 and a relay cable are connected to one of the terminal blocks 23. The power supply device 22 is connected to the power cable 91 via the relay cable and the terminal block 23. An electric wire 44 of the emergency light source block 4 is connected to the other terminal block 23.

[0040] A U-shaped support portion 104 is integrally provided at the lower end of each of the pair of side plates 101 (see FIG. 3). Each of the pair of side plates 101 is bent in a stepped shape along the longitudinal direction (left-right direction).

[0041] Each of the pair of side walls 11 is formed integrally with the reflector 13. Each reflector 13 is formed in the shape of a long rectangular plate with one surface (lower surface) as a reflecting surface. Each side wall 11 is in the shape of a long rectangular plate, and is formed integrally with the reflector 13 so as to rise from one end edge (upper end edge) along the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) of the reflector 13. A protruding wall portion 110 is provided at the upper end of each side wall 11. The protruding wall portion 110 is in the shape of a long rectangular plate, and protrudes from the tip edge (upper end edge) along the longitudinal direction of the side wall 11 in a direction facing the reflector 13 (see FIG. 3). The tip portion of the protruding wall portion 110 is bent downward along the longitudinal direction into a hook shape.

[0042] Each of the pair of end plates 14 is formed in a trapezoidal shape (see FIG. 3). Each of the pair of end plates 14 is joined to both ends of the pair of reflecting plates 13 in the longitudinal direction by a suitable method such as spot welding.

[0043] The frame portion 15 is formed in a rectangular frame shape when viewed from the top and bottom direction. However, the frame portion 15 is preferably formed integrally with the pair of reflecting plates 13 and the pair of end plates 14.

[0044] In addition, when the pair of reflecting plates 13 are joined to the integral end plate 14, the pair of side wall portions 11 face each other at a predetermined distance in the short side direction (front-rear direction) of the reflecting plate 13 (see FIG. 3).

[0045] The main body 10 and the pair of side walls 11 are joined together as follows. First, the pair of protruding walls 110 are inserted into the inside of the pair of support parts 104 from one end of the main body 10 in the longitudinal direction. Then, the main body 10 is moved parallel to the pair of side walls 11 along the longitudinal direction of the side walls 11. Here, cut-and-raised pieces are provided at both ends of the longitudinal direction of each side wall 11. Meanwhile, notches are provided at the tip of each protruding wall 110. Then, the cut-and-raised pieces of each side wall 11 are crimped into the notches of each protruding wall 110, thereby joining the main body 10 and the pair of side walls 11 via the pair of protruding walls 110.

[0046] By joining the main body 10 and the pair of side walls 11, a storage recess 12 surrounded by the main body 10 and the pair of side walls 11 is formed (see Figs. 2 to 4 and 6). However, the storage recess 12 is open at both ends (left end and right end) in the longitudinal direction of the device main body 1.

[0047] (2-4) Support member Next, the support member 6 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0048] The support member 6 has a fixing portion 7 that is fixed to the fixture body 1, and an attachment portion 8 to which the emergency light source unit 3 is attached.

[0049] The mounting portion 8 has a mounting plate 80 to which the emergency light source block 4 is attached, a support plate 81 that detachably supports the battery block 5, and an opening 82 arranged between the mounting plate 80 and the support plate 81 (see Figures 7 and 8).

[0050] The mounting plate 80 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape (see Figs. 7 and 8). A rectangular vertical piece 800 is integrally provided on the mounting plate 80 (see Figs. 8 to 11). The vertical piece 800 protrudes downward from the left end of the mounting plate 80 (see Fig. 9). A circular hole 801 penetrates each of the front end and rear end at the center in the left-right direction of the mounting plate 80 (see Figs. 7 and 8). A screw is inserted into each of the two holes 801. Then, each screw is screwed into a screw hole provided in the heat sink 42, so that the emergency light source block 4 is attached to the lower surface of the mounting plate 80 (see Fig. 14). The emergency light source block 4 is attached to the mounting plate 80 in a state where it slightly protrudes from the end (right end) of the mounting plate 80 opposite to the vertical piece 800 (see Fig. 14).

[0051] The support plate 81 is formed in a flat plate shape with an L-shaped outer shape when viewed from the top and bottom (see Figs. 7 and 8). A hook portion 810 is provided at the tip (rear end) of the part of the support plate 81 that is narrower in the left-right direction (see Figs. 8 to 10 and 12). The hook portion 810 has a main piece 8100, a first hook piece 8101, and a second hook piece 8102. The main piece 8100, the first hook piece 8101, and the second hook piece 8102 are each formed in a rectangular flat plate shape (see Figs. 8, 9, and 12). The main piece 8100 protrudes downward from the tip (rear end) of the support plate 81 (see Figs. 9 and 10). The first hook piece 8101 protrudes leftward from the tip (lower end) of the main piece 8100 and faces the support plate 81 in the up-down direction (see Figs. 9 and 10). The second hook piece 8102 protrudes leftward from the front edge of the first hook piece 8101 (see Figs. 8 to 10). A female screw portion 811 is provided at the tip (right end) of the part of the support plate 81 that is wider in the left-right direction (see Figs. 7 and 8).

[0052] The opening 82 has a rectangular shape when viewed from the top and bottom, and is disposed between the mounting plate 80 and the support plate 81 (see Figs. 7 and 8). The width of the opening 82 along the short side direction (front-rear direction) of the device body 1 is approximately equal to the distance between the pair of side wall portions 11. However, the shape of the opening 82 is not limited to a rectangle, and may be, for example, a polygon having pentagons or more sides, a circle, an ellipse, or the like. The end of the support plate 81 that faces the opening 82 (the left end) is folded back upward (see Figs. 7 and 13).

[0053] The battery block 5 is supported on the support plate 81 of the support member 6 in the following procedure. First, with the battery block 5 tilted relative to the support plate 81, the protrusion 53 on the battery case 50 of the battery block 5 is hooked onto the hook portion 810 on the support plate 81 of the support member 6 (see FIG. 14).

[0054] Next, the battery block 5 is rotated around the protrusion 53 hooked on the hook portion 810 as a fulcrum (see FIG. 5). Then, the protrusion 55 of the battery block 5 is inserted into the vertical groove 411 provided in the housing 41 of the emergency light source block 4, and the connector portion 54 of the battery block 5 is connected to the receptacle connector 43 (see FIG. 15). In this manner, the battery block 5 is supported by the support plate 81 of the support member 6, and the connector portion 54 and the receptacle connector 43 are connected (see FIG. 15). When the battery block 5 is supported by the support plate 81, the opening 82 of the support member 6 is closed by the battery block 5 (FIG. 17).

[0055] The fixing portion 7 has a pair of side plates 70 and a pair of fixing pieces 71 (see Figs. 7 to 10). Each of the pair of side plates 70 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape. One side plate 70 protrudes upward from the front end of the mounting portion 8 (mounting plate 80 and support plate 81) (see Fig. 9). The other side plate 70 protrudes upward from the rear end of the mounting portion 8 (mounting plate 80 and support plate 81) (see Fig. 10).

[0056] Each of the fixing pieces 71 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape (see FIG. 7). One of the fixing pieces 71 protrudes forward from the upper end of the front side plate 70. The other fixing piece 71 protrudes rearward from the upper end of the rear side plate 70. A circular hole 710 is provided at one longitudinal end (left end) of each of the pair of fixing pieces 71 (see FIG. 7).

[0057] Each of the fixing pieces 71 is provided with a locking piece 72 at both ends (left and right ends) in the longitudinal direction (see Figs. 9 and 10). These four locking pieces 72 are formed in a hook shape and protrude downward from the edge of the fixing piece 71 along the longitudinal direction (left and right direction).

[0058] The fixing portion 7 of the support member 6 is fixed to a pair of side wall portions 11 of the instrument body 1. Specifically, a pair of fixing pieces 71 of the fixing portion 7 are fixed to the protruding wall portions 110 of the pair of side wall portions 11 of the instrument body 1, one each.

[0059] A pair of locking pieces 72 provided on each fixed piece 71 are locked one by one to the edges of a pair of holes 111 provided at the left end of the protruding wall portion 110. In this state, a screw 74 inserted through a hole 710 of the fixed piece 71 is screwed into a screw hole provided in the protruding wall portion 110, thereby fixing the fixed piece 71 to the protruding wall portion 110 (see FIG. 13). Note that the hole 710 through which the screw 74 is inserted is provided at a position where the optical axis L1 of the lens 40 and the screw 74 overlap when viewed from the short side direction (front-rear direction) of the fixed piece 71 (see FIG. 15).

[0060] Here, in a state where the support member 6 is fixed to the instrument body 1 (the pair of side wall portions 11), the opening 82 of the support member 6 overlaps in the vertical direction with the insertion hole 102 located at the left end of the main body 10 of the instrument body 1 (see FIG. 15). Note that the opening 82 is formed to a size that allows the operation of tightening a nut 92 onto the hanging bolt 90 inserted into the insertion hole 102 to be performed.

[0061] Thus, the support member 6 is accommodated in the accommodation recess 12 so as to form a predetermined space (wiring space S1) between the main body 10 and the mounting portion 8 (see FIG. 4). The wiring space S1 is preferably large enough to accommodate at least two power cables 91.

[0062] (3) Installation procedure for lighting fixtures according to the embodiment Next, a procedure for installing the lighting fixture A1 will be described.

[0063] First, a worker performing the installation work removes the light source unit 2, the battery block 5, and the cover 30 from the lighting fixture A1. Then, the worker inserts the power cable 91, which is wired above the ceiling, into the power hole 103 of the main body 10, and then inserts the fixture main body 1 into the recessed hole X10 provided in the ceiling X1. At this time, the worker inserts the two suspension bolts 90 arranged in the recessed hole X10 into the two insertion holes 102 provided in the main body 10, one by one (see FIG. 2). Then, the worker tightens the nut 92 through the washer 93 on the suspension bolt 90 inserted into the insertion hole 102 (see FIG. 16). At this time, the worker can insert his hand through the opening 82 of the support member 6 of the emergency light source unit 3 to tighten the nut 92. Note that the end of the support plate 81, which is the end facing the opening 82 (the left end), is folded back upward, so that the possibility of the worker's hand touching the edge of the support plate 81 and being injured is reduced. Similarly, the emergency light source block 4 is attached to the mounting plate 80 in a state where it slightly protrudes from the end (right end) opposite the vertical piece 800 of the mounting plate 80, thereby reducing the possibility of an operator's hand touching the edge of the mounting plate 80 and getting injured.

[0064] In this manner, the fixture body 1 is fixed to the two hanging bolts 90. Note that the frame portion 15 of the fixture body 1 abuts against the periphery of the embedding hole X10 in the ceiling X1, so that the fixture body 1 closes the embedding hole X10.

[0065] Next, the worker connects the power cable 91 pulled in from the power hole 103 to the terminal block 23. Furthermore, the worker connects the power cable 91 for the outgoing wiring to the terminal block 23. The worker accommodates the two power cables 91 in the wiring space S1 of the accommodating recess 12 of the fixture body 1 (see Figures 3 and 4), and pulls the power cable 91 for the outgoing wiring out of the fixture body 1 from one end in the longitudinal direction of the accommodating recess 12, and accommodates it in the accommodating recess 12 of the fixture body 1 of another lighting fixture A1.

[0066] Next, the worker supports the battery block 5 on the support plate 81 of the support member 6 using the procedure explained in "(2-4) Support member" (see Figures 14 and 15). Then, the worker attaches the cover 30 to the fixture body 1. The worker inserts the pair of hook springs 312 of the first cover 31 into the gap between the upper end of the left end plate 14 and the left end of the emergency light source block 4. The pair of hook springs 312 are hooked onto a protruding piece protruding to the right from the upper end of the left end plate 14 of the fixture body 1 (see Figure 4).

[0067] Next, the worker places the fixing portion 322 of the second cover 32 over the female thread portion 811 of the support plate 81 from below. Then, the worker attaches the cover 30 to the device main body 1 and the support member 6 by screwing the screw 323 inserted into the insertion hole of the fixing portion 322 into the female thread portion 811 of the support plate 81. Note that multiple protrusions are formed on the upper surface (the surface facing the battery block 5) of the flat portion 320 of the cover 30. These multiple protrusions come into contact with the lower surface of the first case portion 51 of the battery case 50, thereby enabling the cover 30 to suppress rattling of the battery block 5.

[0068] Next, the worker attaches the light source unit 2 to the fixture body 1. First, the worker hooks a pair of hook fittings 211 into square holes 112 (see FIG. 2 ) provided in the rear side wall portion 11 of the fixture body 1 to temporarily hang the light source unit 2 on the fixture body 1. With the light source unit 2 temporarily hung on the fixture body 1, the worker connects the power connector connected to the terminal block 23 to the power supply device 22 of the light source unit 2.

[0069] Next, the worker hooks the hook spring 212 (see FIG. 3) of the light source unit 2 to the receiving metal fitting 16 (see FIG. 2) provided on the front side wall portion 11 of the fixture body 1. Finally, the worker rotates the light source unit 2 so as to lift it up, using the hook fitting 211 as a fulcrum. Then, the hook spring 212 returns to its original state while still hooked on the receiving metal fitting 16, and the light source unit 2 is held on the fixture body 1 by the spring force of the hook spring 212 (see FIGS. 1 and 3).

[0070] The lighting fixture A1 is installed on the ceiling X1 through the above-mentioned procedure.

[0071] (4) Variations Below, several modified examples of the lighting device A1 according to the present embodiment will be described. However, since the basic configuration of each of the modified examples described below is common to the basic configuration of the lighting device A1 according to the present embodiment, the common components are denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be illustrated or described.

[0072] (4-1) Variation 1 As shown in FIG. 19, lighting fixture A1 of modification 1 differs from the embodiment in that it includes two light source units 2 and that an emergency light source unit 3 is disposed between the two light source units 2.

[0073] Each of the two light source units 2 has a length (longitudinal dimension) that is approximately half that of the light source unit 2 in the lighting device A1 according to the embodiment. These two light source units 2 are attached to the device body 1 near both ends of the device body 1 in the longitudinal direction.

[0074] The emergency light source unit 3 is disposed between the two light source units 2, i.e., in the center of the longitudinal direction of the fixture body 1. In this case, the opening 82 of the support member 6 supporting the emergency light source unit 3 faces the power supply hole 103 provided in the center of the body 10.

[0075] Thus, in lighting fixture A1 of modification 1 as well, the task of pulling in power cable 91 from power supply hole 103 through opening 82 of support member 6 can be performed.

[0076] As described above, the emergency light source unit 3 may be disposed at a position other than the end in the longitudinal direction of the fixture body 1, for example, at the center in the longitudinal direction.

[0077] (4-2) Variation 2 Illumination device A1 of modification 2 is characterized in that fixing portion 7 of support member 6 has only one side plate 70 and one fixing piece 71 (see FIG. 20).

[0078] In the lighting fixture A1 of the modified example 2, the fixing part 7 has only one side plate 70 and one fixing piece 71, so that the support member 6 can be attached to the fixture body 1 simply by fixing the fixing piece 71 to the protruding wall part 110 of one side wall part 11 of the fixture body 1. As a result, the lighting fixture A1 of the modified example 2 can improve the workability of the assembly work.

[0079] (4-3) Variation 3 Illumination device A1 of modification 3 is characterized by the structure of fixing portion 7 of support member 6. Fixing portion 7 in modification 3 has a pair of side plates 70 and a pair of fixing pieces 71. The pair of side plates 70 protrude downward from the front end and the rear end of mounting portion 8, respectively (see FIG. 21). The pair of fixing pieces 71 protrude outward from the lower ends of the pair of side plates 70, respectively.

[0080] The fixing portion 7 of the support member 6 is fixed to a pair of side walls 11 of the instrument body 1. Specifically, a pair of fixing pieces 71 of the fixing portion 7 are fixed to the pair of side walls 11 of the instrument body 1 by screwing (see FIG. 21). The pair of fixing pieces 71 are engaged with the lower ends of the pair of side walls 11, respectively.

[0081] In lighting fixture A1 of modification 3, fixing portion 7 of support member 6 is disposed below attachment portion 8, thereby making it possible to further expand wiring space S1 (see FIG. 21).

[0082] (5) Advantages of the lighting fixture according to the embodiment In the lighting fixture A1, the support member 6 has a fixing portion 7 fixed to the fixture body 1, a mounting plate 80 to which the emergency light source block 4 is attached, a support plate 81 that detachably supports the battery block 5, and an opening 82 disposed between the mounting plate 80 and the support plate 81. The opening 82 is closed by the battery block 5 when the battery block 5 is supported by the support plate 81. The opening 82 is also open when the battery block 5 is not supported by the support plate 81.

[0083] When the normal power supply is not interrupted, the battery block 5 is charged by the charging circuit of the emergency light source block 4 using power (normal power) supplied from the normal power supply. During charging, heat is released from the battery block 5, more specifically, from the multiple batteries and the conductor plate connecting the multiple batteries. Note that the nickel-metal hydride batteries used in the battery block 5 tend to have a shorter lifespan, particularly when the temperature rises, so it is desirable to suppress the temperature rise of the battery block 5 by releasing the heat generated during charging.

[0084] Since the openings 82 expose the support member 6 above the battery block 5, convection occurs through the openings 82 due to heat radiated from the battery block 5. As a result, the lighting device A1 has the advantage of being able to improve the heat dissipation of the battery block 5 compared to a case in which the support member 6 does not have the openings 82.

[0085] Furthermore, in lighting fixture A1, opening 82 is provided in support member 6 so as to overlap at least one of insertion hole 102 and power supply hole 103 in the thickness direction of support plate 81. That is, the operation of tightening nut 92 on hanging bolt 90 inserted into insertion hole 102, or the operation of pulling power cable 91 from power supply hole 103 can be performed through opening 82. In particular, opening 82 is formed to a size that allows the above operations to be performed manually, and lighting fixture A1 has the advantage of being able to improve the workability of installation work.

[0086] Furthermore, in the lighting fixture A1, the electric wire 44 for connecting the emergency light source block 4 to a normal power source can be placed in the space (wiring space S1) above the battery block 5 in the accommodation recess 12 through the opening 82 of the support member 6 (see FIG. 6). This makes it possible for the lighting fixture A1 to prevent the electric wire 44 from being pinched between the battery block 5 and the support plate 81 when the battery block 5 is attached to the support plate 81. Moreover, by separating the electric wire 44 from the battery block 5, the lighting fixture A1 can suppress electromagnetic noise induced in the conductive plate of the battery block 5 by the alternating current flowing through the electric wire 44. The electric wire 44 is supported by a plurality of cable holders 45 attached to the side wall portion 11 and the main body 10 (see FIG. 6).

[0087] Incidentally, the main body 10 of the fixture main body 1 may bend when the nuts 92 are fastened to the two hanging bolts 90. If the fixing portion 7 of the support member 6 is fixed to the main body 10, the bending of the main body 10 may also affect the support member 6, and the light distribution characteristics of the emergency light source unit 3 supported by the support member 6 may change. In contrast, in the lighting fixture A1, the fixing portion 7 of the support member 6 is fixed to a pair of side wall portions 11. More specifically, the fixing pieces 71 provided on a pair of side plates 70 of the fixing portion 7 are fixed to a pair of protruding wall portions 110 protruding outward from the leading edge along the longitudinal direction of the pair of side wall portions 11 (see FIG. 13). Therefore, the lighting fixture A1 has an advantage that it is possible to reduce the influence of the bending of the main body 10 on the support member 6 and suppress the change in the light distribution characteristics of the emergency light source unit 3.

[0088] Here, since the protruding wall portion 110 to which the fixing piece 71 is fixed protrudes outward from the tip edges along the longitudinal direction of the pair of side wall portions 11, when assembling the fixture main body 1, the support member 6 and the main body 10 can be assembled from the same direction to the pair of side wall portions 11. Therefore, the lighting fixture A1 can improve the workability of the assembly work compared to the case where the support member 6 and the main body 10 are assembled from different directions (for example, upward and downward) to the pair of side wall portions 11.

[0089] Furthermore, since the fixing piece 71 is provided on the side plate 70 protruding from the respective edges of the mounting plate 80 and the support plate 81 on the side opposite the emergency light source unit 3, the distance between the mounting plate 80 and the support plate 81 can be increased, thereby further reducing the effect of bending of the main body 10 on the mounting plate 80 of the support member 6.

[0090] Furthermore, the battery case 50 of the battery block 5 of the emergency light source unit 3 has a protrusion 53 that can be hooked onto a hook portion 810 provided on the support plate 81 of the support member 6. That is, in the lighting fixture A1, the battery block 5 can be temporarily supported on the support member 6 by hooking the protrusion 53 of the battery case 50 onto the hook portion 810. That is, in the lighting fixture A1, by temporarily supporting the battery block 5 on the support member 6, there is an advantage in that the workability of attaching and removing the cover 30 to and from the fixture body 1 and the support member 6 can be improved.

[0091] Here, in the fixing portion 7 of the support member 6, holes 710 provided in each fixing piece 71 are provided at positions where the optical axis L1 of the lens 40 and the screw 74 inserted into the hole 710 overlap when viewed from the short side direction (front-rear direction) of the fixing piece 71 (see FIG. 15). Therefore, in the lighting device A1, even if the support member 6 rattles with respect to the pair of side wall portions 11, it is possible to prevent the optical axis L1 of the lens 40 from being misaligned with the device body 1.

[0092] In addition, in the emergency light source unit 3, the protrusion 53 of the battery case 50 is provided at a position that does not overlap with the fixing portion 322 provided on the cover 30 (see FIG. 18). This allows the length of the cover 30 in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) to be reduced compared to when the protrusion 53 is provided at a position that overlaps with the fixing portion 322.
