Description

The present invention relates to a lamp which can be substituted used in general lighting bulb.

  Conventionally, in a lamp device that can be used as an alternative to a light bulb and uses an LED as a light-emitting element, a substrate provided with an LED is attached to a metal radiator, and a base is attached to the radiator via a cover, A lighting device for lighting the LED was accommodated.

  In such a lamp device, the temperature of the LED rises due to heat generated from the LED, and the lifetime of the LED is shortened as the light output of the LED is reduced. Therefore, a plurality of radiating fins are provided around the radiating body.

  However, in an LED lamp that emits light at a higher output, heat radiation is not sufficient with only this heat radiating fin, and it is difficult to ensure the lamp life, so an LED lamp having a rotatable fan is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

JP 2007-265892 A

  However, even if such a rotatable fan is provided, a light bulb shaped lamp using LEDs is provided with a resin cover attached to the base, and a motor for turning on the LEDs and rotating the fins is incorporated therein. In order to reduce the size of the LED lamp, it is necessary to reduce the size of the radiating fin itself, and it is also necessary to reduce the size of the rotatable fan. However, since the efficiency of the rotatable fan depends on the surface area of its wings, if the heat dissipating fins are reduced in size, they cannot be air-cooled efficiently.

  The present invention has been made in view of such points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a light bulb shaped lamp that can suppress problems such as short life due to heat generation of the light emitting element even when a large number of light emitting elements are used. To do.

Lamp of claim 1, wherein the heat radiating body and having a substrate mounting portion at one end; has one end-side surface in the light-emitting elements are mounted substrate, the other end face of the substrate is the substrate attachment portion A light emitter mounted on the radiator and disposed on the other end of the radiator, forcing heat generated in the light emitting element and transmitted to the radiator via the substrate mounting portion A blower fan that dissipates heat by blowing air; a translucent cover that covers the light emitter and is attached to one end of the heat dissipator ; a circuit that is provided on the other end of the heat dissipator and supplies current to the light emitting element parts and; whole or in part is mounted on one end surface of the substrate, drive and braking system that by driving the blower fan; is intended to include a.
The light emitting element and any element that emits light may be used. For example, a solid light emitting element such as an LED or an organic EL may be used.

  For example, the substrate may be formed of a metal material including aluminum having good thermal conductivity and may be an integrated substrate provided with a plurality of LEDs, or may be a substrate divided into a plurality of LEDs.

  For example, a metal material or a resin material may be used as the heat radiator. A space in which the blower fan is disposed is formed on the other end side of the radiator. For example, the plurality of heat dissipating fins of the heat dissipating body are formed radially around the heat dissipating body or separated into a lattice. In the case where a plurality of heat dissipating fins of the heat dissipating body are formed radially around the heat dissipating body, the gap between the circumferential gaps is desirably 5 mm or less, more preferably about 1 mm. If this interval is 5 mm or less, the number of heat dissipating fins can be increased, and the heat dissipating effect can be improved in cooperation with forced air blowing by the blower fan. The heat dissipation efficiency cannot be improved sufficiently.

  Even if the housing space formed inside the heat conducting part is a space that penetrates from one end where the light emitter is attached to the other end on the base side, the other end side on the base side is closed. It may be a storage space. In addition, as a shape of the accommodation space, any shape such as a cylindrical shape, a cone, or a polygonal cone is allowed if a blower fan can be disposed. Furthermore, in order to forcibly vent air from the inside to the outside by the blowing means from the housing space, a ventable hole may be provided as appropriate.

  As the blower fan disposed in the accommodation space, for example, a plurality of blades are rotated about a rotation axis, and for example, a sirocco fan, a centrifugal fan, an axial fan, or the like is used. In the case of a sirocco fan, a space may be formed in the center, and wiring that connects the LED and the lighting device may be passed through this space. The fan rotates by driving of a fan motor controlled by a driving device, and may be continuously driven by the fan motor while the base is energized, and a temperature sensor is provided, and this temperature sensor You may drive with a fan motor only when the temperature to detect becomes more than predetermined temperature. In addition, the fan can dissipate not only the heat transmitted from the LED to the heat radiator but also the heat of the lighting circuit.

The drive device for driving the blower fan may be disposed outside one end side or the other end side of the heat radiating body, and the disposition position may be in a glove covering the light emitting body or in the base. I do not care. In short, reducing the surface area of the heat sink reduces the heat dissipating effect. Therefore, in order to efficiently dissipate heat without reducing the area, it is necessary to accommodate the drive device outside the heat sink. However, when accommodated in a glove, it is conceivable that, for example, a drive device is used as a base and a plurality of light emitters are mounted on the drive device so as not to disturb the irradiation direction from the light emitter. However, since it is conceivable that the driving device is affected by the heat of the illuminant that becomes high temperature during lighting, it may be accommodated in a base that is separated from the heat source that is lit. In addition, when accommodating in a nozzle | cap | die, you may accommodate so that a part of drive device may protrude from a nozzle | cap | die other than what the whole drive device is accommodated in a nozzle | cap | die.
That the air blowing means of the light bulb shaped lamp operates when the lamp is lit means that it operates when electric power is supplied to the base.
For example, a base that can be connected to a socket for a general lighting bulb such as E17 type or E26 type is used.

  The material and shape of the globe are not limited as long as it transmits light emitted from the light emitter. For example, a material such as glass or resin having light diffusibility may be integrally formed in a substantially spherical shape, or may be divided into a plurality of parts and combined in a substantially hemispherical shape.

Lamp according to claim 2, said heat radiator includes a heat radiating body communicating hole penetrating in the one end and the other end to the center position, the flow of air through the radiator passage by the blower fan Is formed .

The lamp according to claim 3 is provided with a plurality of heat radiating fins on the other end side of the heat radiating body, and the heat generated in the light emitting element and transmitted to the heat radiating body through the substrate mounting portion. At least a part of the heat is radiated from the radiating fin by forced air blowing by the blower fan.

According to the lamp of this embodiment, it is possible to efficiently dissipate heat by air cooling with a blower fan. Therefore, the temperature rise of the lamp is suppressed, it is possible to suppress the problem such as a short lifetime due to heat.

The driving circuit for driving the blower fan, since the mounted on the substrate on which the light emitting element is mounted, it is possible to effectively use the limited space, enabling the miniaturization of the lamp.
