Abstract

According to one embodiment, a lighting device includes: a first housing in which a lamp unit is provided; a second housing in which a power supply unit is provided; and a hinge member that allows the first housing to be capable of opening and closing with respect to the second housing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lighting device comprising:
a first housing having a lamp unit provided on a lower surface so that the lamp emits is configured to emit light downward;
a second housing configured to be connected and fixed to a pole, the second housing having a power supply unit provided on an upper surface; and
a hinge member that allows the first housing to be separated from the second housing by rotating around an axis of a shaft member,
wherein when the first housing is not separated from the second housing, the lamp unit provided in the first housing is located farther from the pole than the power supply unit provided on the upper surface of the second housing.

2. The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein when the first housing is not separated from the second housing, the lamp unit and the power supply unit are disposed along a direction parallel to an opening plane of a first opening section from which lighting light of the lamp unit is emitted downward.

3. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a seal structure that is disposed inside a space in which the lamp unit and the power supply unit are sealed when the first housing is not separated from the second housing.

4. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a transparent cover plate,
wherein the lighting light emitted through the first opening section is emitted from the transparent cover plate.

5. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a seal structure that is disposed inside a space in which the lamp unit and the power supply unit are sealed when the first housing is not separated from the second housing.

6. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a third housing that is fixed to the first housing or the second housing,
wherein one of the first housing and the second housing, to which the third housing is not fixed, is capable of being separated from the other of the first housing and the second housing, to which the third housing is fixed by the hinge member.

7. The device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the third housing has a second opening section, and
wherein, when the first housing is not separated from the second housing, the lamp unit is disposed inside the second opening section.

8. The device according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a communication unit that receives a command signal and a light adjusting signal from the outside and transmits status information,
wherein when the first housing is not separated from the second housing, the communication unit is disposed inside the second opening section.

9. The device according to claim 8 ,
wherein when the first housing is separated from the second housing in a case where the third housing is fixed to the second housing, the communication unit is exposed from the second opening section.

10. The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the lamp unit is provided in the first housing to be removable.

11. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a fixing member for connecting and fixing the first housing or the second housing to the pole.

12. The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the lighting device is a road lamp.

13. A lighting device comprising:
a first housing having a lamp unit provided on a lower surface so that the lamp unit is configured to emit light downward;
a second housing configured to connect and be fixed to a pole, the second having a power supply unit provided on an upper surface;
a third housing that is fixed to the first housing or the second housing;
a hinge member that allows the first housing to be separated from the second housing by rotating around an axis of a shaft member;
a first opening section that emits lighting light of the lamp unit,
wherein when the first housing is not separated from the second housing, the lamp unit provided in the first housing is located farther from the pole than the power supply unit provided on the upper surface of the second housing, and
wherein when the first housing is not separated from the second housing, the lamp unit and the power supply unit are disposed along a direction parallel to an opening plane of the first opening section.

14. The device according to claim 13 , further comprising:
a seal structure that is disposed inside a space in which the lamp unit and the power supply unit are sealed when the first housing is not separated from the second housing.

15. The device according to claim 14 , further comprising:
a transparent cover plate that is provided in the first opening section,
wherein the lighting light emitted through the first opening section is emitted from the transparent cover plate.

16. The device according to claim 15 ,
wherein the third housing has a second opening section, and
wherein when the first housing is not separated from the second housing, the lamp unit is disposed inside the second opening section.

17. The device according to claim 16 , further comprising:
a communication unit that receives a command signal and a light adjusting signal from the outside and transmits status information,
wherein when the first housing is not separated from the second housing, the communication unit is disposed inside the second opening section.

18. The device according to claim 17 ,
wherein when the first housing is not separated from the second housing in a case where the third housing is fixed to the second housing, the communication unit is exposed from the second opening section.

19. The device according to claim 13 ,
wherein the lamp unit is provided in the first housing to be removable.

20. The device according to claim 13 ,
wherein the lighting device is a road lamp.
