Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an LED bulb using LED (Light Emitting Diode) as a light source. [Prior Art] In recent years, energy-saving is being promoted as a part of global warming measures. In the field of lighting equipment, bulb-type fluorescent lamps that consume very little power compared to incandescent bulbs are becoming more popular. There are also LED bulbs that consume very little power and have a relatively long life compared to the bulb-type fluorescent lamps. The LED light bulb includes: an LED module having a plurality of LEDs (light emitting diodes) as a light source, and a power supply unit for lighting each LED of the LED module to be screwed into the power supply unit a lamp holder having a bulb socket, a cylindrical holding portion at one end of the opening end of the lamp cap, and a translucent lamp ball (or a cover having an open end portion attached to the other end portion of the cylindrical holding portion) The power supply unit and the LED module are usually disposed inside the cylindrical holding portion (for example, refer to Patent Document 1 or 2). CITATION LIST Patent Literature Patent Literature 1: JP-A-2008-91140 Patent Literature 2: JP-A-2009-267082 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION 201213700 However, since the LED bulbs are lit at each time LEDs (light-emitting diodes) generate heat, so if the heat-dissipation measures are insufficient, the LEDs (light-emitting diodes) become high-temperature and their life is greatly reduced. In this regard, the LED bulb described in Patent Document 1 generates heat by superimposing the light-emitting diodes (2) mounted on the substrate (7), and is superimposed on the substrate (7). Since the base (11) made of a metal is naturally radiated to the heat-transfer metal cover (4) which is a cylindrical holding part, it is difficult to sufficiently radiate the heat-emitting efficiency of each of the light-emitting diodes (2). On the other hand, in the LED light bulb described in Patent Document 2, the outer body (1 2 ) is formed of a metal having good heat conductivity, and a plurality of ribs (16) for heat dissipation are formed on the outer surface thereof. The heat generation of the LED element (36) radiates heat to the outside via a heat release path formed between the outer body (1 2 ) and the inner body (58) as the cylindrical holding portion, and can be heated by the surface of the outer body (12) radiation. However, in the LED light bulb described in Patent Document 2, the outer body (12) made of a metal having a plurality of ribs (16) and the inner body (58) fitted to the inner side thereof are configured to form a cylindrical shape. And thus has the problem of so-called weight increase. Further, in the LED light bulb described in Patent Document 1, in order to maintain the heat radiation function, the cylindrical cover (4) is long and large, and the lighting light of each of the light-emitting diodes (2) is transmitted to such an extent. Since the bulb (3) has a small hemispherical shape, there is a problem that the irradiation region of the illumination light of each of the light-emitting diodes (2) is narrow. In the same manner, in the LED light bulb described in Patent Document 2, the illumination of the LED elements (36) is made to the extent that the outer body (丨2) of the tubular shape is maintained to be long and large. Since the transmitted cover (44) has a small hemispherical shape, there is a problem that the irradiation area of the lighting light of each of the LED elements (36) is narrow. The present invention is made in accordance with the problems of the prior art, and provides an LED capable of further increasing the heat release efficiency of the LED to achieve a longer life, and also contributing to weight reduction and enlargement of the irradiation area. The bulb is the subject. In order to solve such a problem, the LED light bulb according to the present invention includes a base that is screwed into the bulb socket, a cylindrical holding portion that is provided at one end of the opening end of the base, and an open end that is installed. a lamp ball at the other end of the tubular holding portion and an LED module having a plurality of LEDs that illuminate the lighting light toward the bulb side: the power supply unit has a DC output side connected to the LED module and connected to the AC input side. In the above lamp cap, the LED bulb is characterized in that a heat pipe unit for radiating heat generated by each LED is bonded to the LED module and is housed in the cylindrical holding portion, and in the cylindrical holding portion, the heat pipe is opened The heat release window facing the heat release end of the unit. In the LED light bulb according to the present invention, in the state in which the existing bulb socket is screwed into and mounted with the lamp cap, the plurality of LEDs of the LED module are lit by turning on the lighting switch, and the lighting light passes through the light bulb. It is illuminated. Here, when a plurality of LEDs are illuminated to generate heat, the heat generation is instantaneously moved toward the heat releasing end portion of the heat pipe unit that is joined to the LED module, and the heat is released from the cylindrical holding portion of the heat releasing end portion from the surface 201213700. The window is efficiently radiated toward the outside. As a result, the temperature increase of each LED is suppressed to extend the life of each LED. In the LED light bulb according to the present invention, the power supply unit is disposed inside the base, and the length of the cylindrical holding portion is set to a length required to accommodate the LED module and the heat pipe unit, thereby forming the light ball beyond the hemispherical shape. Spherical. In this case, the irradiation area of the lighting light of each of the LEDs illuminated by the lamp ball is enlarged. Further, the cylindrical holding portion having a short length is made into a synthetic resin product which is lighter than the metal product of the conventional example, so that the weight is greatly reduced. Further, in the LED light bulb of the present invention, the LED module is configured to include a module substrate having a plurality of mounting holes in which the LEDs are embedded and mounted, and the heat pipe unit can be configured to have a heat receiving plate portion, the heat receiving plate The part is in contact with each LED surface of each mounting hole embedded in the module substrate and bonded to the module substrate. In this case, since the heat generated by the lighting of each of the LEDs is efficiently and reliably transmitted to the heat receiving plate portion of the heat pipe unit that is in contact with each of the LED faces, the heat radiation efficiency of each of the LEDs is surely improved. Further, in the LED light bulb of the present invention, the module substrate is preferably formed into a curved panel shape that protrudes toward the bulb side. In this case, since the LEDs are arranged side by side on the convex curved surface which protrudes toward the bulb side, the irradiation area of the illumination light of each LED irradiated by the bulb is further enlarged. Further, in the LED light bulb of the present invention, the heat pipe unit can be constructed to have a plurality of heat pipes that continuously protrude from the heat receiving plate portion. In this case, heat can be uniformly radiated from the heat releasing end portions of the respective heat pipes facing the heat releasing window of the cylindrical holding portion. 201213700 Here, when a height difference is provided at a position of a heat releasing end portion of a plurality of heat pipes, heat convection is generated between the heat releasing ends, and since the heat convection promotes heat generation from the heat releasing end portion, it is preferable. Advantageous Effects of Invention In the LED light bulb according to the present invention, when a plurality of LEDs are heated to emit heat, the heat generation is instantaneously moved toward the heat releasing end portion of the heat pipe unit joined to the LED module, and from the heat releasing end portion The heat release window of the pair of cylindrical holding portions is efficiently radiated toward the outside. As a result, the high temperature of each LED is suppressed to extend the life of each LED. That is, according to the present invention, the heat dissipation efficiency of each LED can be further improved, and the life thereof can be attained. Further, according to the present invention, since the cylindrical holding portion does not need to have a heat releasing function as in the conventional example, the cylindrical holding portion can be made into a synthetic resin product which is lighter than the metal product, and the length thereof is a power supply. The unit is disposed inside the base and can be shortened to the length required to accommodate the LED module and the heat pipe unit. As a result, a significant weight reduction can be achieved as compared with the conventional example. According to the present invention, since the bulb spherical shape can be made to exceed the hemispherical shape in accordance with the shortening of the cylindrical holding portion, the irradiation region of the illumination light of each of the LEDs irradiated by the bulb can be enlarged. In particular, the LEDs of the LED module are arranged in a convex curved surface on which the bulb side protrudes, whereby the illumination area of the LEDs can be further enlarged. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of an LED lamp 201213700 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings of the attached drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, an LED bulb according to an embodiment includes a base 1 that is screwed into an existing bulb socket (not shown), and a cylindrical holding portion 2 that is attached to an open end of the base 1 at one end. The translucent bulb 3 has an open end that is attached to the other end of the tubular holding portion 2. Further, as shown in Fig. 2, the power supply unit 4' is housed inside the base 1, and the LED module 5 and the heat pipe unit 6 are disposed on the inner side of the cylindrical holding portion 2. The base 1 is an Edison type having a case portion 1A and an eyelet portion 1B, for example, an E26 type, and two wires on the AC input side of the power supply unit 4 are welded to the case portion 1A and the eyelet portion 1B (illustration omitted ). Further, at one end of the opening end portion of the base 1, the one end portion of the cylindrical holding portion 2 is fixed by a subsequent agent such as silicone resin or epoxy resin. The cylindrical holding portion 2 is integrally molded by a heat-resistant thermoplastic resin such as ABS resin. A fitting fixing portion 2A having a small diameter that is fitted to the inner periphery of the opening end portion of the base 1 and then fixed is formed at one end portion of the cylindrical holding portion 2, and is formed at the other end portion. A fitting fixing portion 2B having a large diameter which is fixed to the outer periphery of the opening end of the bulb 3 is then fixed.

Further, two wires (not shown) on the DC output side of the power supply unit 4 are soldered to the circuit pattern 5E of the LED module 5 to be described later. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the LED module 5 has a module substrate 5A for mounting a plurality of LEDs as a light source. The module substrate 5A is integrally molded into a curved plate shape in which the outer surface protrudes toward the bulb 3 side by a third dimension by a synthetic resin such as polycarbonate (PC) having high heat resistance and high heat conductivity. In other words, the module substrate 5A has a shape in which a circular support portion 5C having a flat cross section is formed on the outer periphery of the LED mounting portion 5B having a spherical shape in a circular arc shape, for example, a so-called annular support portion 5C is formed.

On the other hand, each of the LED packages 7 is embedded in each of the LED mounting portions 5B of the module substrate 5A in a semi-protruding state in which the light projecting direction thereof faces the light bulb 3 side (see FIG. 5). ). The circuit pattern 5E for supplying power to each of the LED packages 7 is formed across the annular support portion 5C and the LED mounting portion 5. This circuit pattern 5E is composed of, for example, a three-layer conductive plating layer in which copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and silver (Ag) are laminated. As shown in Fig. 5, the LED package 7 has an LED chip 7C disposed at the bottom of the reflector recess 7B formed of a thin dome-shaped cavity base 7A made of polycarbonate (PC) or ceramic, and This LED wafer 7C is sealed in a structure in which the sealing resin 7D of the reflector recess 7B is sealed. At the bottom of the reflector recess 7B of the LED package 7, the electrode pattern 7E for connecting the LED chip 7C is formed in an exposed state in the circuit pattern 5E formed in the LED mounting portion 5B of the module substrate 5A. Further, although not shown in the drawings, a plating layer for a reflector for reflecting the lighting light of the LED wafer 7C is formed on the peripheral wall surface of the reflector concave portion 7B. Here, the heat pipe unit 6 is for radiating heat generated by each of the LED packages 7 mounted on the module substrate 5A of the LED module 5. As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 6, the heat pipe unit 6 has a heat receiving plate portion 6A formed in a curved plate shape and joined to a concave spherical surface of the inner surface of the LED mounting portion 5B of the module substrate 5A. The base end portion is continuously formed in a plurality of heat pipes 6B concentrically on the inner surface of the heat receiving plate portion 6A. Each of the heat pipes 6B protrudes from the inner surface of the heat receiving plate portion 6A in parallel with each other, and the end portions thereof are aligned in a planar shape. The heat receiving plate portion 6A and the plurality of heat pipes 6B are formed by forming a conductive metal such as copper or nickel at the electroless plating portion S on the surface of the core formed by the synthetic resin material which can be dissolved by the post-treatment. Then, the core 201213700 material is dissolved to form.

Further, as for the synthetic resin material for molding the above-mentioned core, for example, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) which is soluble in immersion in water maintained at _2 5 to 9 5 ° C for about 2 to 3 hours, or Soaked in an alkali solution (sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution) or an acidic solution maintained at 25 to 70 ° C for about 1 to 120 minutes to dissolve the polypropionic acid resin, and further, you can also use N - A solution of methyl-2-pyrrolidone dissolved in ABS resin. Here, the heat receiving plate portion 6A of the heat pipe unit 6 formed of copper or nickel having high heat conductivity is attached to the inner surface of the LED mounting portion 5B of the module substrate 5A constituting the LED module 5, In the heat receiving plate portion 6A, the electrode layer 7E of each LED package 7 is in a surface contact state. Further, as the binder, an enamel resin or an epoxy resin having high heat conductivity is used. In the LED light bulb according to the embodiment configured as described above, in the installation state in which the existing bulb socket is screwed into the base 1 and the light switch 1 is turned on, the DC power from the power supply unit 4 is turned on. The DC current controlled to a predetermined voltage on the output side is supplied to the circuit pattern 5E of the LED module 5, whereby the LED chips 7C of the plurality of LED packages 7 mounted on the module substrate 5A are lit. The lighting light is illuminated by the light ball 3. -12-201213700 Here, when the LED chip 7C of each LED package 7 is heated to emit heat, the heat generation instantaneously moves from the heat receiving plate portion 6A of the heat pipe unit 6 toward the heat releasing end portion of the heat pipe 6B of the group, and The heat releasing window 2C' of the cylindrical holding portion 2 facing the heat releasing end portion is efficiently radiated outward, and the heat receiving plate portion 6A of the heat pipe unit 6 is coupled to the reflector recess portion 7B of each LED package 7. The electrode layer 7E exposed at the bottom is in surface contact. As a result, the temperature of each of the LED chips 7C is suppressed and the life of each of the LED chips 7C is extended. Further, in the LED bulb of the embodiment, the bulb 3 is not formed in a hemispherical shape as in the conventional example, but is formed as In the same manner as a general bulb, the LED package 7 is embedded in a spherical panel shape (curved panel shape) formed in a three-dimensional projection toward the bulb 3 in a semi-protruding state. Since the respective mounting holes 5D of the mounting portion 5B are provided, the lighting light of the LED chip 7C of each of the LED packages 7 is widely irradiated by the bulb 3, and the irradiation area thereof is enlarged. Further, in the LED light bulb of the embodiment, the cylindrical holding portion 2 is not made of a metal product as in the conventional example, but is made of a lightweight synthetic resin product. Further, the length of the cylindrical holding portion 2 is set to accommodate the LED. The length of the limit required for the module 5 and the heat pipe unit 6 is shorter than the length of the conventional example, so that the weight is greatly reduced. In other words, the LED light bulb according to one embodiment can increase the heat dissipation efficiency of each of the LED chips 7C of the plurality of LED packages 7 and achieve a longer life. Moreover, a significant weight reduction can be achieved compared to the conventional example. Furthermore, it is possible to further enlarge the irradiation area of the lighting light of each of the LED chips 7C. -13- 201213700 The LED bulb of the present invention is not limited to the above-described one embodiment.

Font type to enhance the heat release efficiency. Moreover, a group of heat pipes 6B may also have a height difference at the position of the heat releasing end to cause heat convection between the heat releasing ends. For example, in a group of heat pipes 6B arranged in a ring shape, if a height difference is provided between the outer peripheral side and the inner peripheral side at the position of the heat radiating end portion, heat convection is generated between the outer peripheral side and the inner peripheral side. This heat convection promotes the exotherm from the heat release end of each heat pipe 6B. Further, a group of heat pipes 6B can be changed into one heat pipe 6C having a cross-sectional shape as shown in Fig. 7, that is, a heat pipe 6C in which the internal space is radially continuous. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the cylindrical holding portion 2 may be formed such that the position of the support piece 2C for screwing the annular support portion 5C of the LED module 5 is set to a fitting portion of a large diameter. The vicinity of the position of the end portion of 2B' and the LED mounting portion 5B of the LED module 5 are hemispherical and protrude largely toward the side of the light bulb 3. In this case, the light distribution angle of the illumination light irradiated from each of the LED chips 7 C of the plurality of LED packages 7 mounted in the LED mounting portion 5B of the LED module 5 is greatly expanded to, for example, a thin chain. The angle between the lines is 0. Further, as shown in Fig. 9, the cylindrical holding portion 2 may be formed as a heat transfer metal product such as an aluminum alloy in which the heat transfer plate 2E is integrally formed in the vicinity of the fitting portion 2A having a small diameter, and may also be a group of The heat releasing end of the heat pipe 6B is joined to the heat transfer plate 2E in a manner of abutting or fitting -14-201213700. In this case, the heat generated by the lighting of each of the LED chips 7C is radiated from the heat releasing end portion of the heat pipe 6B to the entire tubular holding portion 2 via the heat transfer plate 2D, so that the heat release efficiency is further improved. The heat transfer plate 2E is used as a supporting member of the power source unit 4. On the other hand, the bulb 3 may be a transparent appearance that is not mixed with a light diffusing agent, or a translucent appearance such as milky white. Further, the light ball 3 may be a frosted glass or a milky white or transparent glass product.
