[0061] 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.
[0062] 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.
[0063] Here, the electric wires 44 for connecting the emergency light source block 4 to a normal power source are arranged in the wiring space S1 through the opening 82 of the support member 6 (see FIG. 6). This makes it possible to prevent the electric wires 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. The electric wires 44 are supported by a plurality of cable holders 45 attached to the side wall portion 11 and the main body 10 (see FIG. 6).
[0064] (3) Installation procedure for lighting fixtures according to the embodiment Next, a procedure for installing the lighting fixture A1 will be described.
[0065] 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 on the suspension bolt 90 inserted into the insertion hole 102 via the washer 93 (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 faces the opening 82 (the left end), is folded back upward. This reduces the possibility of injury to the worker's hand touching the edge of the support plate 81. Similarly, since 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, the possibility of injury to the worker's hand touching the edge of the mounting plate 80 is reduced.
[0066] 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.
[0067] 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.
[0068] 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).
[0069] 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.
[0070] 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.
[0071] 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).
[0072] The lighting fixture A1 is installed on the ceiling X1 through the above-mentioned procedure.
[0073] (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.
[0074] (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.
[0075] 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.
[0076] 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.
[0077] 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.
[0078] As described above, the functional unit (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.
[0079] (4-2) Variation 2 As shown in FIG. 20, a lighting fixture A1 of the second modification includes, instead of the emergency light source unit 3, an electrostatic atomization unit 3A having an electrostatic atomization device as a functional unit.
[0080] Electrostatic atomizers are configured to generate nano-sized fine particle ions by applying high voltage to water in the air. The fine particle ions generated by electrostatic atomizers contain hydroxyl radicals (OH radicals) that easily react with various substances, and can remove or suppress allergens such as pollen, bacteria, and viruses suspended in the air.
[0081] The electrostatic atomization unit 3A has a housing 30A that houses an electrostatic atomization device. A plurality of openings 300A are provided on the bottom surface of the housing 30A. The fine particle ions generated by the electrostatic atomization device are released into the room through the openings 300A on the bottom surface of the housing 30A.
[0082] (4-3) Variation 3 Illumination device A1 of modification 3 is characterized in that fixing portion 7 of support member 6 has only one side plate 70 and one fixing piece 71 (see FIG. 21).
[0083] In the lighting fixture A1 of the modified example 3, 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 3 can improve the workability of the assembly work.
[0084] (4-4) Variation 4 Illumination device A1 of modification 4 is characterized by the structure of fixing portion 7 of support member 6. Fixing portion 7 in modification 4 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. 22). The pair of fixing pieces 71 protrude outward from the lower ends of the pair of side plates 70, respectively.
[0085] 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 part 7 are fixed to a pair of side wall parts 11 of the instrument body 1 by screwing (see FIG. 22). The pair of fixing pieces 71 are engaged with the lower ends of the pair of side wall parts 11, respectively.
[0086] In lighting fixture A1 of modification 4, fixing portion 7 of support member 6 is disposed below attachment portion 8, thereby enabling wiring space S1 to be further expanded (see FIG. 22).
[0087] (5) Advantages of the lighting fixture according to the embodiment In the lighting fixture A1, the support member 6 that supports functional units such as the emergency light source unit 3 and the electrostatic atomization unit 3A is accommodated in the accommodation recess 12 of the fixture body 1 so as to form a wiring space S1 between the main body 10 of the fixture body 1 and the mounting portion 8 of the support member 6 (see Figs. 3 and 4). The wiring space S1 is large enough to accommodate at least two power cables 91.
[0088] Thus, the lighting fixture A1 can accommodate two power cables 91, one for supplying power to the power supply device 22 and the functional units, and the other for sending wiring to another lighting fixture, in the wiring space S1 of the accommodation recess 12. As a result, the lighting fixture A1 has the advantage of being able to improve the workability of installation work compared to a case in which the electric wire for sending wiring (power cable 91) is wired outside the fixture body 1.
[0089] Furthermore, the accommodating recess 12 opens the wiring space S1 at both longitudinal ends of the fixture body 1 (see Figs. 3 and 4). Therefore, when a plurality of lighting fixtures A1 are installed lined up in the longitudinal direction, the power cable 91 for wiring can be routed from the longitudinal end of the accommodating recess 12 of one lighting fixture A1 to the accommodating recess 12 of another lighting fixture A1. As a result, the lighting fixture A1 has the advantage of being able to further improve the workability of the installation work.
[0090] 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.
[0091] 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.
[0092] 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.
[0093] In addition, the battery case 50 of the battery block 5 of the emergency light source unit 3 is supported by the support member 6. The cover 30 has a protrusion 53 that can be hooked onto a hook portion 810 provided on the plate 81. That is, in the lighting device 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 device A1, the battery block 5 is temporarily supported on the support member 6, which has the advantage of improving the ease of attachment and detachment of the cover 30 to and from the device body 1 and the support member 6.
[0094] 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.
