The vending machine provided.

従来より、例えば自動販売機やショーケースなどでは、照明器具を商品サンプル室や陳列室に配設し、当該商品サンプル室や陳列室に収容された商品等の照明を行っている。一般に、照明器具としては、従前より長尺状の蛍光灯が用いられているが、当該蛍光灯の代わりとしてＬＥＤ素子を用いた照明器具も使用されてきている。この場合、長尺状の基板に複数のＬＥＤ素子を配設することにより、長尺状の照明器具を構成している。これらの照明器具は、取付部材を用いて商品サンプル室や陳列室の背面板や天面板等の任意の場所に取り付けられる。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in a vending machine or a showcase, a lighting device is disposed in a product sample room or a display room, and lighting of the products or the like stored in the product sample room or the display room is performed. Generally, a long fluorescent lamp has been used as a lighting fixture, but a lighting fixture using an LED element has been used instead of the fluorescent lamp. In this case, a long lighting device is configured by disposing a plurality of LED elements on a long substrate. These lighting fixtures are attached to an arbitrary place such as a back panel or a top panel of a product sample room or a display room using an attachment member.

例えば、特許文献１には、直管形ＬＥＤ照明の管体を下側より保持する保持部と、前記保持部の先端に一体に形成され前記保持部を取付け部材の挿入孔に係止する係止部と備えた落下防止器具が開示されている。当該特許文献１において直管形ＬＥＤ照明は、取付側に配設されたソケットに当該直管形ＬＥＤ照明の管体の両端を保持させると共に、断面略Ｕ字状に形成された落下防止器具によって、当該管体を部分的に取付側に保持する。保持部の先端に形成された係止部は、外方に向けて突出した鏃状を呈している。   For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a holding portion that holds a tube of a straight tube LED lighting from below, and a member that is formed integrally with a tip of the holding portion and locks the holding portion into an insertion hole of a mounting member. A fall protection device with a stop is disclosed. In Patent Document 1, the straight tube LED lighting is configured such that a socket provided on the mounting side holds both ends of the tube of the straight tube LED lighting and a fall prevention device formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section. The tube is partially held on the mounting side. The locking portion formed at the tip of the holding portion has an arrowhead shape protruding outward.

また、特許文献２には、自動販売機の照明対象室内に配置された照明対象物を照明する自動販売機の照明装置であって、照明対象室の幅方向に延びる略長箱状の光透過性のユニット本体と、ユニット本体内に配置され下方に向かって発光するＬＥＤ（Ｌｉｇｈｔ Ｅｍｉｔｔｉｎｇ Ｄｉｏｄｅ）素子が設けられた照明基板とを備え、照明対象室後方の壁をその裏側から係止する第１係止片と、照明対象室後方の表面側から前記第１係止片との間に前記壁を挟むようにして係止する第２係止片とを有し、前記第１係止片及び第２係止片はユニット本体と一体に形成されているものが開示されている。   Patent Document 2 discloses an illumination device for a vending machine that illuminates an object to be illuminated disposed in the room to be illuminated by the vending machine.

上述した特許文献１では、Ｕ字状に形成された落下防止器具の両先端を近接させる方向に撓ませた状態で取付け部材の挿入孔に挿入し、はなすことにより当該落下防止器具の弾性によって両係止部の鏃状の部分を挿入孔縁部に係止させ、当該係止部が取付け部材から抜け出ることを防止している。ゆえに、当該落下防止器具は、直管形ＬＥＤ照明の取付側との距離を固定して安定した保持を実現するものではないため、直管形ＬＥＤ照明の取り付け部材として用いることができない。   In the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, in the state where both ends of the U-shaped fall prevention device are bent in a direction to approach each other, the U-shaped fall prevention device is inserted into the insertion hole of the mounting member, and is released. The arrowhead-shaped portion of the locking portion is locked to the edge of the insertion hole to prevent the locking portion from falling out of the mounting member. Therefore, the fall prevention device does not fix the distance from the mounting side of the straight tube LED lighting to achieve stable holding, and cannot be used as a mounting member of the straight tube LED lighting.

また、上述した特許文献２では、第１の係止片の端部を照明対象室後方の壁、すなわち、背面板に形成された第１の係止孔に挿入し、第２係止片の背面板と対向する面を当該背面板の前面に当接させながら下方に移動させて、第１係止片と第２係止片との間に背面板を挟み込んで保持しなければならず、取付作業が煩雑となる問題があった。特に、第１係止片及び第２係止片は、断面略Ｌ字状に形成されているため、その作業には各係止片に対して無理な力が加わりやすく、着脱時にこれら各係止片が割れるおそれがあった。   Further, in Patent Document 2 described above, the end of the first locking piece is inserted into the wall behind the room to be illuminated, that is, the first locking hole formed in the back plate, and the second locking piece is inserted. The surface facing the back plate must be moved downward while being in contact with the front surface of the back plate, and the back plate must be sandwiched and held between the first locking piece and the second locking piece, There has been a problem that the mounting operation is complicated. In particular, since the first locking piece and the second locking piece are formed to have a substantially L-shaped cross section, an excessive force is easily applied to each locking piece in the work, and each of the locking pieces is easily attached and detached. There was a risk that the tab would break.

さらに、当該特許文献２では、安定した固定を行うために、第２係止片の背面に取付け部材側に突出した係合突起を備え、背面部には、当該係合突起を挿入保持する係合孔を設ける必要があった。この場合、背面板には、係合保持を行う箇所毎に、２箇所の係合孔を形成しなければならず、生産時における作業が煩雑となり、生産コストの高騰を招く問題があった。   Further, in Patent Document 2, in order to perform stable fixing, an engagement protrusion protruding toward the mounting member is provided on the back surface of the second locking piece, and a engagement member for inserting and holding the engagement protrusion is provided on the back surface. It was necessary to provide a hole. In this case, two engagement holes must be formed in the back plate for each location where the engagement is to be held, and the operation at the time of production becomes complicated, and there is a problem that the production cost rises.

以上のことから、市場からは、複雑な作業を行うことなく、安定して照明器具を取り付けることを可能とする照明器具取付部材の開発が要望されてきた。   From the above, there has been a demand from the market for the development of a lighting fixture mounting member capable of stably mounting a lighting fixture without performing complicated work.

The restriction piece 38 is formed so as to protrude in a direction orthogonal to the mounting direction, and can guide the engagement position of the edge gripping portions 36 and 37 of the locking piece 34 or 35 to an appropriate position.

以上の構成により、本実施の形態に係る照明装置Ｌの組立及び取付手順について説明する。まずはじめに、透光性ケース１５内に、開口した端部から、ＬＥＤ素子１１を実装した状態の長尺基板１０を連結して用いるだけの数、挿入する。この時点で、連結して用いる長尺基板１０を全て透光性ケース１５内に挿入しても良いが、はじめ２つのみ挿入し、連結作業が終了した後に次の長尺基板１０を挿入しても良い。この際、長尺基板１０の側端面１０Ｂ、１０Ｂをそれぞれ透光性ケース１５の平坦部１８の内面と対峙させるように当該透光性ケース１５内に挿入する。   With the above configuration, an assembling and mounting procedure of the lighting apparatus L according to the present embodiment will be described. First, as many as the long substrates 10 on which the LED elements 11 are mounted are connected and inserted into the translucent case 15 from the opened ends. At this point, all of the long substrates 10 to be used in connection may be inserted into the translucent case 15, but only the first two are inserted, and after the connection operation is completed, the next long substrate 10 is inserted. May be. At this time, the side end faces 10B and 10B of the long substrate 10 are inserted into the translucent case 15 so as to face the inner surfaces of the flat portions 18 of the translucent case 15, respectively.

そして、透光性ケース１５内に収納された隣り合う長尺基板１０の間に連結部取付部材３０を取り付ける。具体的には、隣り合う長尺基板１０、１０の端部１０Ａ、１０Ａを透光性ケース１５に形成された開口部１６に対応する位置に配置する。そして、図４に示すように、これら隣り合う長尺基板１０の端部１０Ａ、１０Ａ間を少許離間させて、その間に連結部取付部材３０の各基板保持部３３、３３を当該開口部１５を介して透光性ケース１５内に挿入し、当該連結部取付部材３０の照明保持部３１を撓ませて透光性ケース１５の外周を囲繞するように装着する。このとき、照明保持部３１に形成された凹溝３２、３２は、透光性ケース１５の外面に形成された補強リブ１７、１７に対応するように取り付ける。   Then, the connecting portion attaching member 30 is attached between the adjacent long substrates 10 stored in the translucent case 15. Specifically, the ends 10A and 10A of the adjacent long substrates 10 and 10 are arranged at positions corresponding to the openings 16 formed in the translucent case 15. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the end portions 10A and 10A of these adjacent long substrates 10 are slightly separated from each other, and the respective substrate holding portions 33 and 33 of the connecting portion mounting member 30 are connected to the openings 15 therebetween. Then, it is inserted into the translucent case 15 so as to bend the illumination holding portion 31 of the connecting portion mounting member 30 so as to surround the outer periphery of the translucent case 15. At this time, the concave grooves 32, 32 formed in the illumination holding part 31 are attached so as to correspond to the reinforcing ribs 17, 17 formed on the outer surface of the translucent case 15.

その後、一方の長尺基板１０の端部１０Ａを透光性ケース１５内に挿入された基板保持部３３の把持片３３Ｂの係合爪３３Ｃを長尺基板１０に形成された係合孔１０Ｄに係合させて固定する。この状態で、一方の長尺基板１０の端部１０Ａから引き出された照明器具側配線１２を他方の長尺基板１０の端部１０Ａに配線接続を行う。３つ以上の長尺基板１０を単一の透光性ケース１５内に収容する場合には、順次、上述した隣り合う長尺基板１０、１０間における電気的接続作業を行う。   After that, the end 10A of the one long substrate 10 is inserted into the engagement hole 10D formed in the long substrate 10 with the engaging claw 33C of the gripping piece 33B of the substrate holding part 33 inserted into the translucent case 15. Engage and fix. In this state, the lighting fixture side wiring 12 pulled out from the end 10A of one long substrate 10 is connected to the end 10A of the other long substrate 10. When three or more long substrates 10 are accommodated in a single translucent case 15, the above-described electrical connection between the adjacent long substrates 10 and 10 is sequentially performed.

全ての隣り合う長尺基板１０間の連結作業が終了した後、長尺基板１０が収容された状態の透光性ケース１５の両端部１０Ａ、１０Ａにそれぞれ端部取付部材２０、２０を装着する。具体的には、端部取付部材２０を透光性ケース１５の端部から挿入し、当該端部取付部材２０に設けられた基板保持部２３の把持片２３Ｂの係合爪２３Ｃを当該透光性ケース１５内において端部に位置する長尺基板１０の端部１０Ａに形成された係合孔１０Ｄに係合させて固定する。同じ要領で、他方の透光性ケース１５の端部にも端部取付部材２０を装着する。   After the connection work between all the adjacent long substrates 10 is completed, the end mounting members 20, 20 are attached to both ends 10A, 10A of the translucent case 15 in a state in which the long substrates 10 are accommodated. . Specifically, the end mounting member 20 is inserted from the end of the translucent case 15, and the engaging claw 23 </ b> C of the gripping piece 23 </ b> B of the substrate holding unit 23 provided on the end mounting member 20 is moved to the light transmitting case 15. And is fixed by engaging with an engaging hole 10D formed in the end 10A of the long substrate 10 located at the end in the flexible case 15. In the same manner, the end mounting member 20 is also mounted on the end of the other translucent case 15.

その後、当該照明装置Ｌを取り付ける被取付対象３の係合孔４に端部取付部材２０、２０の各係合片２４、２５に形成された縁把持部２６、２７を係合保持させる。具体的には、当該端部取付部材２０の各係合片２４、２５をそれぞれの縁把持部２６、２７が近接する方向に撓ませて、当該縁把持部２６、２７を被取付対象３の係合孔４に規制片２８が当該被取付対象３に当接するまで挿入した後、押圧力を解除する。これにより、端部取付部材２０の各係合片２４、２５は、それ自体の弾性力によって、係合孔４内にて広がり、当該係合孔４の対向する縁部に各係止片２４、２５の縁把持部２６、２７が押圧される。具体的には、縁把持部２６、２７の縁部当接面２６Ｃ、２７Ｃが係合孔４の縁部端面に当接して、取付側支持面２６Ａ、２７Ａが係合孔４の縁部の取付側を支持し、裏側支持面２６Ｂ、２７Ｂが係合孔４の縁部の取付側とは反対側の裏側を支持する。各端部取付部材２０は、少なくとも第１係止片２４側の３点と、第２係合片２５側の３点で係合孔４と当接して係合保持されるため、安定して取り付けることが可能となる。同様に、被取付対象３の係合孔４に連結部取付部材３０を係合保持させる。   After that, the edge holding portions 26 and 27 formed on the engagement pieces 24 and 25 of the end attachment members 20 and 20 are engaged and held in the engagement holes 4 of the attachment target 3 to which the lighting device L is attached. Specifically, the engaging pieces 24, 25 of the end mounting member 20 are bent in a direction in which the respective edge grips 26, 27 approach, and the edge grips 26, 27 are After the restricting piece 28 is inserted into the engaging hole 4 until it comes into contact with the mounting target 3, the pressing force is released. As a result, each of the engagement pieces 24 and 25 of the end mounting member 20 is expanded in the engagement hole 4 by its own elastic force, and each of the engagement pieces 24 is , 25 are pressed. Specifically, the edge contact surfaces 26C, 27C of the edge gripping portions 26, 27 abut against the edge end surfaces of the engagement holes 4, and the mounting-side support surfaces 26A, 27A are in contact with the edges of the engagement holes 4. The mounting side is supported, and the back side support surfaces 26B and 27B support the back side of the edge of the engagement hole 4 on the side opposite to the mounting side. Each of the end mounting members 20 is stably engaged with the engagement hole 4 at at least three points on the first locking piece 24 side and three points on the second engagement piece 25 side, so that the end mounting members 20 are stably held. It can be attached. Similarly, the connecting portion mounting member 30 is engaged and held in the engaging hole 4 of the mounting target 3.

上述したように、本発明の照明器具取付部材を適用した端部取付部材２０及び連結部取付部材３０は、第１及び第２係止片を近接する方向に撓ませるのみで被取付対象３が備える係合孔４に係合させることができるため、各係止片に無理な力が加わりにくく、割れ等の損傷が生じ難い。さらに、各第１及び第２係止片は、同一の係合孔４に係合するものであるため、係合保持を行う箇所毎に複数の係合孔を形成する必要がなくなり、被取付対象３側に形成する係合孔の数を削減することが可能となる。   As described above, the end mounting member 20 and the connecting portion mounting member 30 to which the lighting fixture mounting member of the present invention is applied have the object to be mounted 3 which only bends the first and second locking pieces in the approaching direction. Since it is possible to engage with the engaging hole 4 provided, an excessive force is hardly applied to each locking piece, and damage such as cracks and the like hardly occur. Further, since each of the first and second locking pieces is engaged with the same engagement hole 4, it is not necessary to form a plurality of engagement holes for each position where the engagement and holding is performed. It is possible to reduce the number of engagement holes formed on the target 3 side.

そして、照明器具２側から引き出された照明器具側配線１２は、端部取付部材２０側において、被取付対象３側から係合孔４を介して照明器具２側に引き出された被取付対象３側配線５と接続を行う。本実施の形態では、端部取付部材２０の第１係止片２４と第２係止片２５との間に配線保持部２９が形成されているため、これら照明器具側配線１２及び被取付側配線５は、当該配線保持部２９内において収容保持される。特に、本実施の形態では、当該第１係止片２４及び又は第２係止片２５に、これら照明器具側配線１２及び／又は被取付対象側配線５を露出する切欠２４Ａ又は２５Ａが形成されているため、当該照明器具側配線１２に形成されたコネクタ１２Ａと被取付対象側配線５に形成されたコネクタ５Ａとを当該配線保持部２９内に収容した状態で、外部から容易に接続作業を行うことが可能となる。よって、配線作業性が良好となることで、各配線の長さを必要最小限とすることが可能となり、当該照明器具２の端部周辺において取り回された配線が照明器具２からの照明光を遮蔽し難くなり、配線による影が被照明対象物に生じにくくなる。これにより、照明効果を高めることができる。   Then, the lighting fixture side wiring 12 pulled out from the lighting fixture 2 side is connected to the end fitting member 20 side from the mounting target 3 side to the lighting fixture 2 side via the engaging hole 4 toward the lighting fixture 2 side. The connection with the side wiring 5 is performed. In the present embodiment, since the wiring holding portion 29 is formed between the first locking piece 24 and the second locking piece 25 of the end mounting member 20, the wiring 12 on the lighting fixture side and the mounting side are formed. The wiring 5 is housed and held in the wiring holding unit 29. In particular, in the present embodiment, the first locking piece 24 and / or the second locking piece 25 is formed with a notch 24A or 25A exposing the lighting device side wiring 12 and / or the mounting target side wiring 5. Since the connector 12A formed on the lighting device side wiring 12 and the connector 5A formed on the mounting target side wiring 5 are accommodated in the wiring holding portion 29, connection work can be easily performed from the outside. It is possible to do. Therefore, by improving the wiring workability, the length of each wiring can be minimized, and the wiring routed around the end of the lighting fixture 2 can be used as the illumination light from the lighting fixture 2. And the shadow due to the wiring is less likely to occur on the illuminated object. Thereby, a lighting effect can be enhanced.

特に、本実施の形態では、係合孔４が、被取付対象３側から照明器具側配線１２に給電等を行う被取付対象側配線５を引き出す配線用孔を兼ね備えることにより、格別に配線用孔を被取付対象３に設ける必要がなくなり、照明器具２の取り付けに用いる係合孔４を用いて、配線の引出を行うことが可能となる。よって、生産性の向上及び美感の向上を図ることができる。   In particular, in the present embodiment, the engaging hole 4 also serves as a wiring hole for drawing out the mounting target side wiring 5 that feeds power or the like to the lighting fixture side wiring 12 from the mounting target 3 side, so that the wiring hole is particularly used for wiring. There is no need to provide a hole in the mounting target 3, and the wiring can be drawn out using the engagement hole 4 used for mounting the lighting fixture 2. Therefore, the productivity and the beauty can be improved.
