Description

本発明は、LED(発光ダイオード)を光源とする照明装置に係り、特に家庭用灯具、店舗用灯具、非常灯、街灯、装飾用灯具その他各種灯具として適用される照明装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an illuminating device using an LED (light emitting diode) as a light source, and more particularly to an illuminating device applied as a household lamp, a store lamp, an emergency lamp, a street lamp, a decoration lamp, and other various lamps.

従来、この種の照明装置としては一般に蛍光灯、白熱電灯等が多用されているが、電力消費が多大であるとともに、光源の耐用寿命が短い等の難点がある。   Conventionally, fluorescent lamps, incandescent lamps, and the like are commonly used as this type of lighting device, but there are problems such as high power consumption and short useful life of the light source.

これに対し、近年開発されたLEDを光源とする照明装置は、消費電力が少なく、かつ耐用寿命が長い特徴があり、省エネルギ化および低コストの観点から各種照明装置への適用が図れられている(例えば、特許文献1、2参照)。   On the other hand, recently developed lighting devices using LEDs as light sources are characterized by low power consumption and long service life, and can be applied to various lighting devices from the viewpoint of energy saving and low cost. (For example, refer to Patent Documents 1 and 2).

これらの技術では、従来の電球等のフィラメント等に対応する部位に、複数のLED素子を外向きに配置し、効率よく光を放出させる構成となっている。しかし、LED素子からの発光は紡錘状の狭域照射光であるため、複数のLED素子からの発光を直接光として適用した場合には点光源となり、光源間の境界域が暗部となって所謂光学斑が発生し、白熱球または蛍光灯のような均一的な照明効果を得ることが困難である。   In these technologies, a plurality of LED elements are arranged outwardly at a portion corresponding to a filament of a conventional light bulb or the like, and light is efficiently emitted. However, since the light emitted from the LED elements is spindle-shaped narrow area irradiation light, when light emitted from a plurality of LED elements is applied as direct light, it becomes a point light source, and the boundary area between the light sources becomes a dark part, so-called Optical spots occur, and it is difficult to obtain a uniform lighting effect such as an incandescent bulb or a fluorescent lamp.

これに対し、例えば車両用灯具の分野では、複数のLED素子を所定角度で向き合わせて発光を集束させたり、拡散レンズによって光を分散させたり、凹面鏡によって光を反射拡散させる等の手段により、光学斑を除去する技術が提案されている(例えば、特許文献3、4,5等参照)。

On the other hand, for example, in the field of vehicle lamps, by converging light emission by facing a plurality of LED elements at a predetermined angle, by dispersing light with a diffusion lens, or by reflecting and diffusing light with a concave mirror, Techniques for removing optical spots have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 3, 4, 5, etc.).

It is configured to emit extremely intense light. For this reason, for example, as a technique for improving the energy saving, high efficiency, etc., which is gentle to the eyes with soft light applied as household lamps, store lamps, emergency lights, street lamps, decorative lamps and other various lamps Not suitable.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、LED光の集束、拡散および反射を効率よく行わせ、光学斑の除去、光の柔らかさ、省エネルギ化、高効率化等をより一層高め、家庭用灯具、店舗用灯具、非常灯、街灯、装飾用灯具その他各種灯具として極めて有効な照明装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and allows LED light to be efficiently focused, diffused, and reflected, thereby removing optical spots, softening light, saving energy, improving efficiency, and the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lighting device that is extremely effective as a household lamp, a store lamp, an emergency lamp, a street lamp, a decorative lamp, and other various lamps.

また、本発明はLEDを用いて、より均一な光を作り出し、しかも安全かつ経済的で、光源寿命の長期化が図れ、さらに光源ユニットの交換等も容易に行える照明装置を提供することを目的とする。   Another object of the present invention is to provide an illuminating device that uses LEDs to produce more uniform light, is safe and economical, can extend the life of a light source, and can be easily replaced with a light source unit.

[First Embodiment (FIGS. 1 to 3)]
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a first embodiment of a lighting device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded view showing components of the lighting device for each unit. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the configuration of the LED power supply unit.

図1および図2に示すように、本実施形態の照明装置1(1a)は、大別して、筐体2、電源回路ユニット3、反射拡散ユニット4、LED電源ユニット5、光放出用拡散ユニット6等から構成される。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the illuminating device 1 (1a) of this embodiment is roughly divided into a housing 2, a power supply circuit unit 3, a reflection diffusion unit 4, an LED power supply unit 5, and a light emission diffusion unit 6. Etc.

筐体2は、電源回路ユニット3、反射拡散ユニット4、LED電源ユニット5および光放出用拡散ユニット6を組み込むための本体として構成されており、例えば水平円板状の天壁2aと、この天壁2aの周縁部から垂下する短円筒状の周壁2bとを有する。   The housing 2 is configured as a main body for incorporating the power supply circuit unit 3, the reflection diffusion unit 4, the LED power supply unit 5, and the light emission diffusion unit 6, and includes, for example, a horizontal disk-shaped top wall 2a and the ceiling wall 2a. A short cylindrical peripheral wall 2b that hangs down from the peripheral edge of the wall 2a.

天壁2aの中心位置には、電源回路ユニット装着用の貫通孔7が穿設されている。また、筐体2の下面(一側面)は、全体的に開口しており、この開口が、後述するように、反射拡散ユニット4の光通路形成部材15の組み込みにより、小径な開口部30として形成される。   A through hole 7 for mounting the power supply circuit unit is formed at the center position of the top wall 2a. Further, the lower surface (one side surface) of the housing 2 is opened as a whole, and this opening becomes a small-diameter opening 30 by incorporating the light path forming member 15 of the reflection diffusion unit 4 as described later. It is formed.

電源回路ユニット3は、筐体2の天壁2aの内面(下面)に平行に(水平に)嵌合される電源回路基板8と、この電源回路基板8の下面側に装着されたトランスその他の電源回路部品9と、電源回路基板8の上面側に装着された電源端子10とを備えている。この電源端子10が、筐体2の天壁2aに設けた貫通孔7に嵌合固定される。なお、図示の例では電源端子10を差込用プラグ型として示したが、家庭用ソケット等に螺合するネジ型としてもよい(図示省略)。   The power supply circuit unit 3 includes a power supply circuit board 8 that is fitted in parallel (horizontally) to the inner surface (lower face) of the top wall 2a of the casing 2, a transformer mounted on the lower face side of the power supply circuit board 8, and other components.

The power supply terminal 10 is fitted and fixed in a through hole 7 provided in the top wall 2 a of the housing 2. In the illustrated example, the power supply terminal 10 is shown as a plug type for insertion, but may be a screw type that is screwed into a household socket or the like (not shown).

また、電源回路基板8の端部には、接続端子(例えば雌型コネクタ)11(11a)が電源配線12により垂下接続されている。これらの部品からなる電源回路ユニット3が、図示省略のネジその他の固定具により筐体2に着脱可能に固定される。   Further, a connection terminal (for example, female connector) 11 (11 a) is connected to the end portion of the power supply circuit board 8 by a power supply wiring 12. The power supply circuit unit 3 composed of these components is detachably fixed to the housing 2 with screws or other fixing tools (not shown).

反射拡散ユニット4は、筐体2の周壁2bの下端に接合されるリング状の基部13と、この基部13の上端縁に一体に連設された湾曲板状の反射拡散部材14(14a)と、この反射拡散部材14の中心部下方に位置して、基部13に図示省略のアームにより連設された胴状の光通路形成部材15とからなっている。   The reflection diffusion unit 4 includes a ring-shaped base portion 13 joined to the lower end of the peripheral wall 2b of the housing 2, and a curved plate-shaped reflection diffusion member 14 (14a) integrally connected to the upper end edge of the base portion 13. The cylindrical light path forming member 15 is located below the center portion of the reflection diffusing member 14 and is connected to the base portion 13 by an arm (not shown).

反射拡散部材14は、下向き凹形の半球状をなし、その凹面(下面)が鏡面、または明彩色(例えば白色、その他の淡色等)に着色された一定以上の表面仕上げ粗さを有する面、例えば高精度加工面とされている。光通路形成部材15は、上下面が開口した縦型円筒状のものであり、その内周面が反射拡散部材14の下面と同様に、鏡面、または明彩色に着色された一定以上の表面粗さを有する高精度加工面とされている。   The reflection diffusing member 14 has a downward concave hemispherical shape, and the concave surface (lower surface) is a mirror surface or a surface having a surface finish roughness of a certain level or more colored in a bright color (for example, white, other light color), For example, it is a high-precision machined surface. The light path forming member 15 has a vertical cylindrical shape with upper and lower surfaces opened, and the inner peripheral surface thereof is a mirror surface or a surface roughness of a certain level or more colored in a bright color like the lower surface of the reflection diffusing member 14. It is a high-precision machined surface having a thickness.

これらの部品からなる反射拡散ユニット4も、上述した電源回路ユニット3と同様に、図示省略のネジその他の固定具により筐体2に着脱可能に組立て固定される。なお、この反射拡散ユニット4のリング状基部13は、筐体2の周壁2bの下端部に接合されて、外面的に筐体2の一部を構成する。   Similarly to the power supply circuit unit 3 described above, the reflection diffusion unit 4 made of these components is also detachably assembled and fixed to the housing 2 with screws and other fixing tools (not shown). The ring-shaped base portion 13 of the reflection diffusion unit 4 is joined to the lower end portion of the peripheral wall 2b of the housing 2 and constitutes a part of the housing 2 on the outer surface.

LED電源ユニット5は、図3(平面図)にも示したように、反射拡散ユニット4の下部内周位置に密着して組立てられるリング状のものとして構成されている。すなわち、LED電源ユニット5は、外周側リング壁16および内周側リング壁17およびこれらの下端部を連結する底壁により構成されるチャンネル形の周枠部材と、この周枠部材のチャンネル溝内に設けられたディスク状のLED基板18と、LED基板18上に必要照度に対応して所定ピッチでリング状に配列された複数のLED素子19と、これらの各LED素子19をそれぞれ覆う光拡散用のレンズ(第1レンズ)20と、電源回路基板8の接続端子11aに結合される接続端子(例えば雄型コネクタ)11bとを備えている。   As shown in FIG. 3 (plan view), the LED power supply unit 5 is configured as a ring-shaped member that is assembled in close contact with the lower inner peripheral position of the reflection diffusion unit 4. That is, the LED power supply unit 5 includes a channel-shaped peripheral frame member constituted by an outer peripheral ring wall 16, an inner peripheral ring wall 17 and a bottom wall connecting these lower ends, and a channel groove in the peripheral frame member. A disk-shaped LED board 18 provided on the LED board, a plurality of LED elements 19 arranged on the LED board 18 in a ring shape at a predetermined pitch corresponding to the required illuminance, and light diffusion covering each of the LED elements 19 Lens (first lens) 20 and a connection terminal (for example, male connector) 11 b coupled to the connection terminal 11 a of the power circuit board 8.

外周側リング壁16の外面側は、反射拡散ユニット4における基部13の内周面に、上下高さを一致させる状態で密接固定される。また、内周側リング壁17の上端は、反射拡散ユニット4における光通路形成部材15の下端に接して、平面視円形状の光通路を形成する光通路形成部材15の一部となる。そして、このように構成される光通路形成部材15の内径断面積が、本発明の開口部30の断面積となる。   The outer surface side of the outer peripheral ring wall 16 is closely fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the base portion 13 of the reflection diffusion unit 4 in a state where the vertical height is matched. Further, the upper end of the inner ring wall 17 is in contact with the lower end of the light path forming member 15 in the reflection diffusion unit 4 and becomes a part of the light path forming member 15 that forms a circular light path in plan view. And the internal-diameter cross-sectional area of the optical path formation member 15 comprised in this way turns into a cross-sectional area of the opening part 30 of this invention.

雄型コネクタである接続端子11bは、電源回路基板8の雌型コネクタである接続端子11aに結合される。これにより、照明装置1としての電源回路が形成され、電源端子10を介して図示しない電源からの電流供給が可能となり、各LED素子19による発光が可能となる。   The connection terminal 11 b that is a male connector is coupled to the connection terminal 11 a that is a female connector of the power circuit board 8. As a result, a power supply circuit as the illumination device 1 is formed, current can be supplied from a power supply (not shown) via the power supply terminal 10, and light emission by each LED element 19 is possible.

各LED素子19は、発光面を上向きとして設定されており、各LED素子19の組合せによりLED光源を構成する。そして、この各LED素子19から上向きに発する光L1は、第1レンズ20によって反射拡散部材14の内面に向い、筐体2の内径側、外径側および周方向等に拡散する。この光の挙動については、後に詳しく説明する。   Each LED element 19 is set with the light emitting surface facing upward, and a combination of the LED elements 19 constitutes an LED light source. The light L1 emitted upward from each LED element 19 is directed toward the inner surface of the reflection diffusion member 14 by the first lens 20 and diffused in the inner diameter side, outer diameter side, circumferential direction, and the like of the housing 2. The behavior of this light will be described in detail later.

光放出用拡散ユニット6は、例えば凹レンズからなるカバーとして構成されている。例えば、LED電源ユニット5の下部に連結される外周側の一定半径部分は一定厚さの平坦部21とされ、光が放出される開口部30に対応する部分は、凹レンズ(第2レンズ)22として構成されている。この第2レンズの部分において、筐体2の内方から放出される光を拡散することができる。   The light emitting diffusion unit 6 is configured as a cover made of, for example, a concave lens. For example, a constant radius portion on the outer peripheral side connected to the lower portion of the LED power supply unit 5 is a flat portion 21 having a constant thickness, and a portion corresponding to the opening 30 from which light is emitted is a concave lens (second lens) 22. It is configured as. In the second lens portion, light emitted from the inside of the housing 2 can be diffused.

なお、LED電源ユニット5および光放出用拡散ユニット6も、上述した反射拡散ユニット4および電源回路ユニット3と同様に、図示省略のネジその他の固定具により筐体2に着脱可能に組立て固定される。   The LED power supply unit 5 and the light emission diffusion unit 6 are also detachably assembled and fixed to the housing 2 with screws or other fixing tools (not shown), similar to the reflection diffusion unit 4 and the power supply circuit unit 3 described above. .

次に、光の挙動およびそのための光学的構成の詳細について図1を参照して説明する。   Next, the details of the behavior of light and the optical configuration therefor will be described with reference to FIG.

上述した各ユニットの組立て構成により、本実施形態の照明装置1(1a)は、一側面(下面)に開口部30を形成した筐体2と、この筐体1内における開口部30周囲に設けられた複数のLED素子19と、この各LED素子19から発する光L1を筐体2の内方に向けて拡散させる第1レンズ20と、筐体2の内方に設けられ、第1レンズ20を介して拡散した各LED素子19からの発光を反射および拡散させる湾曲板状の反射拡散部材14と、この反射拡散部材14の曲率中心付近から開口部30まで連通する胴状の光通路形成部材15(13を含む。以下、同様)と、第2レンズ22とを備えた構成とされている。   Due to the assembly configuration of each unit described above, the lighting device 1 (1a) of the present embodiment is provided around the casing 2 in which the opening 30 is formed on one side surface (lower surface) and the opening 30 in the casing 1. The plurality of LED elements 19, the first lens 20 that diffuses the light L 1 emitted from each LED element 19 toward the inside of the housing 2, and the first lens 20 provided inside the housing 2. A curved plate-like reflection / diffusion member 14 that reflects and diffuses light emitted from each LED element 19 diffused through the light source, and a cylindrical light passage forming member that communicates from the vicinity of the center of curvature of the reflection / diffusion member 14 to the opening 30. 15 (including 13; the same applies hereinafter) and the second lens 22.

このような構成のもとで、反射拡散部材14の曲率は、反射拡散した光L2が光通路形成部材15の中心軸上の1つの点O(以下、「集束点」とい。)に集束する設定とされている。そして、この1つの集束点Oに集束した後の光L3が、光通路形成部材15内の空間を経て筐体2の開口部30から外部に放出される構成となっている。   With such a configuration, the curvature of the reflection diffusing member 14 is such that the reflected and diffused light L2 is focused on one point O on the central axis of the light path forming member 15 (hereinafter referred to as “focusing point”). It is set. Then, the light L3 after being focused on the one focusing point O is emitted to the outside from the opening 30 of the housing 2 through the space in the light path forming member 15.

すなわち、本実施形態の照明装置1では、LED電源ユニット5から各LED素子19への電流供給により、各LED素子19からの発光が行われる。この場合、各LED素子19が、筐体2の開口部30の周囲に配置され、かつ光通路形成部材15によって開口部30から隔離されているので、各LED素子19から発した光L1は、第1レンズ20により上方に向って拡散される。拡散方向は、第1レンズ20の形状、種類により種々設定することができる。本実施形態では、上述のように、筐体2内における径方向および周方向に向って光L1が拡散する。   That is, in the lighting device 1 of the present embodiment, light is emitted from each LED element 19 by supplying current from the LED power supply unit 5 to each LED element 19. In this case, since each LED element 19 is disposed around the opening 30 of the housing 2 and is isolated from the opening 30 by the light path forming member 15, the light L1 emitted from each LED element 19 is It is diffused upward by the first lens 20. Various diffusion directions can be set according to the shape and type of the first lens 20. In the present embodiment, the light L1 diffuses in the radial direction and the circumferential direction in the housing 2 as described above.

次に、光L1は、下向き半球面状をなす凹形の反射拡散部材14に達し、第1レンズ20からの各光L1の向きに対応して多方向に反射し、第2段の反射拡散光L2となる。本実施形態では、反射拡散部材14の曲率により、光通路形成部材15の中心軸上における筐体2の内方位置である1つの集束点Oに光L2が集束する設定とされているので、最終的に、この集束点Oに多くの光L2が集束する。   Next, the light L1 reaches the concave reflection diffusing member 14 having a downward hemispherical shape, is reflected in multiple directions corresponding to the direction of each light L1 from the first lens 20, and is reflected and diffused in the second stage. It becomes light L2. In the present embodiment, the light L2 is set to converge at one converging point O that is the inward position of the housing 2 on the central axis of the light path forming member 15 due to the curvature of the reflection diffusing member 14. Finally, a lot of light L2 is focused on this focusing point O.

そして、集束点Oに集束した後の光L3は、反射拡散部材14および光通路形成部材15によって囲まれる筐体2内の閉塞空間内に充満し、高エネルギ化するとともに、各LED素子19の点光源の形状は消失する。これにより、柔らかで、かつ光学斑のない光L3となり、光通路形成部材15を介して、下方向に向かい、開口部30における第2レンズ22を通過して、外部に放出される。   And the light L3 after converging to the condensing point O is filled in the closed space in the housing | casing 2 enclosed by the reflection-diffusion member 14 and the optical path formation member 15, and while becoming high energy, each LED element 19's The shape of the point light source disappears. As a result, the light L3 is soft and free of optical spots, passes downward through the optical path forming member 15, passes through the second lens 22 in the opening 30, and is emitted to the outside.

この場合、本実施形態では、第2レンズ22が凹レンズとして構成されており、上記の集束点Oは光通路形成部材15の中心軸上にあるので、集束点Oからの光L3は下方に向って放出され、また集束点Oから外れた光L3も、凹レンズの作用によって屈折し、結果的に殆どの光L3が、下方に向って平行に放出される。   In this case, in the present embodiment, the second lens 22 is configured as a concave lens, and the focusing point O is on the central axis of the light path forming member 15, so the light L3 from the focusing point O is directed downward. In addition, the light L3 emitted from the focusing point O is also refracted by the action of the concave lens, and as a result, most of the light L3 is emitted in parallel downward.

以上の作用により、本実施形態によれば、筐体2の内部に設けた複数のLED素子19の発光を、第1レンズ20により第1段階として拡散させた後、反射拡散部材14によって第2段階の反射拡散を行わせ、光通路形成部材15の中心軸上の1つの集束点Oにて集束させて光エネルギを十分に筐体2内に蓄えた後、さらに光通路形成部材15内の空間を経て効率よく開口部30から外部に放出させることができる。したがって、LED素子19からの光学斑が全くなく、しかも光の柔かさ、省エネルギ化、高効率化をより一層高めることができる。   With the above operation, according to the present embodiment, the light emitted from the plurality of LED elements 19 provided inside the housing 2 is diffused as the first stage by the first lens 20, and then the second light is diffused by the reflection diffusion member 14. After performing stepwise reflection diffusion and focusing at one focusing point O on the central axis of the light path forming member 15, the light energy is sufficiently stored in the housing 2. It can be efficiently discharged from the opening 30 through the space. Therefore, there is no optical spot from the LED element 19, and the softness of light, energy saving, and high efficiency can be further enhanced.

また、本実施形態では、筐体2、電源回路ユニット3、反射拡散ユニット4、LED電源ユニット5、光放出用拡散ユニット6等により、これらの各ユニットを着脱可能に構成したので、組立て分解等が容易に行える。しかも、LED素子19を用いた場合には、従来の光源に比して耐用寿命が長いうえ、発熱がないため、LED電源ユニット5を交換する回数も減少できるとともに、交換が必要な場合にも火傷の恐れ等なく安全、容易に、かつ経済的に行うことができる。   In the present embodiment, the housing 2, the power supply circuit unit 3, the reflection diffusion unit 4, the LED power supply unit 5, the light emission diffusion unit 6 and the like are configured so as to be detachable. Can be done easily. In addition, when the LED element 19 is used, the service life is longer than that of the conventional light source, and there is no heat generation. Therefore, the number of times of replacing the LED power supply unit 5 can be reduced, and also when the replacement is necessary. It can be performed safely, easily and economically without fear of burns.

なお、以上の第1実施形態においては、LED素子19以外の各部材内面、例えば光通路形成部材15の内周面、および第1レンズ20の内面側等を、明彩色(純白等)にすることが、光効率向上および柔らかい光を得る等の観点から望ましい。   In the first embodiment described above, the inner surface of each member other than the LED element 19, for example, the inner peripheral surface of the light path forming member 15, the inner surface side of the first lens 20, and the like are colored (pure white, etc.). It is desirable from the viewpoint of improving the light efficiency and obtaining soft light.

また、本実施形態では、光放出用拡散ユニット6としての第2レンズ22を開口部30に装着する構成としたことにより、照明装置1のカバーとして内部機器の保護機能を高める効果も得られる。なお、カバー部材としての光放出用拡散ユニット6は、透明または半透明の部材からなるものとしてもよい。また、図示しないが光放出用拡散ユニットに凹凸その他の各種形状、着色等を施すことにより、装飾光を発するものとして、装飾用照明等に適用することもできる。   In the present embodiment, since the second lens 22 serving as the light emitting diffusion unit 6 is mounted on the opening 30, an effect of enhancing the protection function of the internal device as a cover of the lighting device 1 can be obtained. The light emitting diffusion unit 6 as the cover member may be made of a transparent or translucent member. Further, although not shown, the light emitting diffusion unit can be applied to decorative lighting or the like as emitting decorative light by giving unevenness and other various shapes, coloring, and the like.

This illuminating device 1 (1d) is the same as that of the 1st structural example by the point comprised by the array form which has predetermined length in the paper surface front-back direction of FIG.

この第2構成例が第1構成例と異なる点は、反射拡散部材14(14d)が平板状に構成され、反射拡散した光L3が筐体2の開口部30から外部に向って拡散する状態で放出される設定としたことにある。他の構成は図5に示した第1構成例と同様である。   The second configuration example is different from the first configuration example in that the reflection diffusion member 14 (14d) is configured in a flat plate shape, and the reflected and diffused light L3 is diffused from the opening 30 of the housing 2 toward the outside. It is in the setting to be released at. Other configurations are the same as those of the first configuration example shown in FIG.
