Description

本発明は、商品陳列用の棚が架設された陳列室が、本体前面において透明板によって画成されるショーケースに関し、詳しくは、前記棚に陳列した商品を照明する技術に関する。   The present invention relates to a showcase in which a display room in which a shelf for displaying products is constructed is defined by a transparent plate on the front surface of a main body, and more particularly, to a technique for illuminating a product displayed on the shelf.

従来、ショーケースとして、本体に構成された陳列室内に商品陳列用の棚を架設すると共に、前記陳列室の前面開口を透視可能な扉にて開閉自在に閉塞し、前記開口縁内側の本体に、LED素子からなる照明モジュールを取り付けたショーケースがあった(特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, as a showcase, a shelf for displaying merchandise is installed in a display room configured in the main body, and the front opening of the display room is closed by a see-through door so that it can be opened and closed. There was a showcase with a lighting module made of LED elements (see Patent Document 1).

特開2009−112351号公報JP 2009-112351 A

上記のように、照明モジュールとしてLED素子を用いれば、照明モジュールがスリム化し、陳列商品と照明モジュールとが重なることによる商品の視認性の低下、及び、商品の出し入れの際における照明モジュールと商品との接触を抑制することができる。
しかし、従来のショーケースでは、LED素子による照明光の照射方向をシェードによって棚側に向けてあり、棚に陳列した商品を直接光で照明していた。
As described above, if an LED element is used as the illumination module, the illumination module is slimmed, the visibility of the product is reduced due to the overlap between the display product and the illumination module, and the illumination module and the product when the product is taken in and out. Can be suppressed.
However, in the conventional showcase, the irradiation direction of the illumination light by the LED element is directed to the shelf side by the shade, and the products displayed on the shelf are directly illuminated with light.

このため、棚の前端に例えばペットボトルなどの商品を並べて陳列した場合に、照明モジュールに近い商品は明るく照明できるが、照明モジュールから離れるほど暗くなるため、商品の照度(輝度)バラツキが大きく、また、照明モジュールから比較的近い商品でも照明モジュールからの直接光が当たらない陰の部分が暗くなるため、平均照度が高くても全体的に暗い印象を顧客に与えてしまうという問題があった。   For this reason, when products such as PET bottles are displayed side by side on the front end of the shelf, products close to the illumination module can be illuminated brightly, but as they move away from the illumination module, they become darker, so the illuminance (luminance) variation of the products is large, In addition, even in products that are relatively close to the illumination module, the shaded portion that is not exposed to direct light from the illumination module becomes dark, so that even if the average illuminance is high, an overall dark impression is given to the customer.

そこで、本発明は、棚に並べた商品の照度(輝度)ばらつき及び商品間の陰影を軽減できるショーケースを提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a showcase that can reduce the illuminance (brightness) variation of products arranged on a shelf and the shadow between products.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明に係るショーケースは、商品陳列用の棚を架設した陳列室が、本体前面において透明板によって画成されるショーケースであって、LED光源を有し、当該LED光源の配光角度を絞ることによって配光中心付近の光度が強められた照明モジュールを備え、前記照明モジュールは、前記透明板と前記棚の前端に並ぶ商品列との間の空間を挟んで対向配置されると共に、配光中心が、対向する照明モジュールに向かう方向又は対向する照明モジュールに向かう方向に比べて前記棚の前端に並ぶ商品のうち遠い位置の商品に対する直接光の光度を増やすように前記棚側に僅かに傾いた方向に設定されて前記透明板及び前記棚の前端に並ぶ商品に光を照射し、前記棚に陳列した商品を直接光及び前記透明板からの反射光で照明する。
このような構成では、棚に陳列した商品が、照明モジュールからの直接光及び透明板からの反射光を用いて照明されるので、直接光が照射されない商品部分に対して透明板からの反射光を照射することが可能となる。
In order to achieve the above object, a showcase according to the present invention is a showcase in which a display room in which a shelf for displaying merchandise is constructed is defined by a transparent plate on the front surface of the main body, and has an LED light source, The illumination module includes an illumination module in which the luminous intensity near the light distribution center is increased by narrowing the light distribution angle of the LED light source, and the illumination module sandwiches a space between the transparent plate and a product row arranged at the front end of the shelf. And the light distribution center increases the intensity of direct light with respect to a product located at a far position among the products arranged on the front end of the shelf as compared with the direction toward the facing lighting module or the direction toward the facing lighting module. In this way, the product is set in a direction slightly inclined to the shelf side and irradiates light on the transparent plate and the products arranged on the front end of the shelf, and the product displayed on the shelf is directly exposed to the light and the transparent plate. It illuminated with reflected light.
In such a configuration, since the product displayed on the shelf is illuminated using the direct light from the illumination module and the reflected light from the transparent plate, the reflected light from the transparent plate is applied to the product part not directly irradiated with light. Can be irradiated.

ここで、前記配光中心を、対向する照明モジュールに向かう方から前記棚側の前端に並ぶ商品のうち最も遠い位置の商品に向かう方向までの間に設定することができる。
このような構成では、光軸中心付近の大きな光度の光を、遠い側の商品に向けて照射し、また、光軸中心付近の大きな光度の光を、透明板のLEDから遠い側に向けて照射して反射させることができ、LEDから遠い位置の商品の照度を増加させることが可能となる。
Here, the light distribution center can be set between the person direction towards the opposite lighting module to a direction towards the product farthest of products arranged in front of the shelf side.
In such a configuration, light with a large luminous intensity near the center of the optical axis is irradiated toward a product on the far side, and light with a large luminous intensity near the center of the optical axis is directed toward the side far from the LED of the transparent plate. It can be irradiated and reflected, and the illuminance of the product at a position far from the LED can be increased.

また、前記本体前面が、前記透明板を備えた扉によって開閉自在に閉塞され、前記扉で開閉される本体前面の左端部及び右端部のそれぞれに、及び/又は、本体前面の上端部及び下端部のそれぞれに、前記照明モジュールを配置することができる。
このような構成では、本体前面が透明板を備えた扉によって開閉自在に閉塞され、扉の開閉を行って商品の取り出しを行うショーケースにおいて、扉を閉じた状態では、照明モジュールが、棚に陳列した商品を直接光及び透明板からの反射光で照明する。
Further, the front surface of the main body is closed openably and closably by a door provided with the transparent plate, and each of a left end portion and a right end portion of the front surface of the main body opened and closed by the door and / or an upper end portion and a lower end of the front surface of the main body. The lighting module can be arranged in each of the sections .
In such a configuration, in the showcase where the front surface of the main body is opened and closed freely by a door provided with a transparent plate, and the door is opened and closed to take out products, the lighting module is mounted on the shelf when the door is closed. The displayed product is illuminated with direct light and reflected light from a transparent plate.

また、前記照明モジュールが棒状に形成され、前記本体前面の開口部を構成する左右の支柱フレームそれぞれに長手方向に沿って設けた凹部又は溝に、前記照明モジュールを挿置することができる。
このような構成では、支柱フレームからの照明モジュールの出っ張りを小さくでき、商品の視認性の低下及び照明モジュールに商品が接触することを抑制することができる。
Moreover, the said illumination module is formed in a rod shape , The said illumination module can be inserted in the recessed part or groove | channel provided in the left-right support | pillar frame which comprises the opening part of the said main body front surface along a longitudinal direction .
In such a configuration, the protrusion of the illumination module from the support frame can be reduced, and the visibility of the product can be reduced and the product can be prevented from coming into contact with the illumination module .

また、本体を構成する4本の支柱フレームが、本体の2面を開閉不能に画成する2枚の板を嵌め込むための2本の溝を備えた共通の成型部品からなり、本体前面の開口部を構成する左右の支柱フレームの板を嵌め込まない溝に、前記照明モジュールを挿置することができる。
このような構成では、4本の支柱フレームを共通の成型部品とすることで、ショーケースを構成する成型部品の種類を削減でき、かつ、照明モジュールを、板を嵌め込むための溝に挿置することで、支柱フレームへの照明モジュールの配置を簡易に行え、かつ、支柱フレームからの照明モジュールの出っ張りを小さくできる。
Further, the four strut frames constituting the main body are formed of a common molded part having two grooves for fitting two plates defining the two surfaces of the main body so that they cannot be opened and closed. the groove is not fitted the plate of left and right strut frames forming the opening, a front KiTeru bright modules can be interposed.
In such a configuration, by the four posts frame a common molded component can reduce the kinds of the molded parts constituting the showcase, and inserted the lighting module, the groove for fitting the plate by location, perform the arrangement of the lighting module to strut frame easily, and can reduce the projection of the illumination module from post frame.

また、前記扉を閉じた状態で、前記扉を構成する左右のフレームが、前記照明モジュールの先端よりも前記開口部の中央側に張り出し、前記照明モジュールが、前記扉を構成する左右のフレームの裏側に配置されるようにできる。
このような構成では、扉を閉じた状態で、扉を構成する左右のフレームの裏側に照明モジュールが隠れ、本体の前面側から照明モジュールが直接見えないようにする。
Further, in a state of closing the door, left and right frames constituting the door, from the tip of the lighting module overhanging the center side of the opening, the lighting module, the right and left frames constituting the door It can be arranged on the back side.
In such a configuration, with the door closed, the illumination module is hidden behind the left and right frames constituting the door so that the illumination module cannot be directly seen from the front side of the main body.

こで、前記照明モジュールにおいて、前記LED光源の最大光度の1/2の範囲の配光角度略50度に絞られているのが好ましい。
このような構成では、最大光度の1/2の範囲の配光角度(1/2ビーム角)を略50度に絞ることで、照明モジュールから遠い位置の商品及び透明板への光の照射量と、照明モジュールに近い位置の商品及び透明板への光の照射量との割合が適切となる。
In here, in the lighting module, preferably the light distribution angle of 1/2 of the range of the maximum luminous intensity of the LED light source is down to approximately 50 degrees.
In such a configuration, the light distribution angle (1/2 beam angle) in the range of 1/2 of the maximum luminous intensity is reduced to about 50 degrees, so that the amount of light irradiated to the product and the transparent plate located far from the illumination module And the ratio with the irradiation amount of the light to the goods near a lighting module and a transparent plate becomes appropriate.

本発明に係るショーケース及び照明モジュールによれば、棚に陳列した商品を直接光及び本体前面を画成する透明板からの反射光で照明するので、棚に並べた商品の照度(輝度)ばらつき及び商品間の陰影を軽減できる。 According to the showcase and the lighting module according to the present invention, the product displayed on the shelf is illuminated with direct light and reflected light from the transparent plate that defines the front surface of the main body. Moreover, the shadow between goods can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 5, by changing the direction of the support frame 12 which is a common part and reversing the top and bottom, the four support pillars on the right front, left front, right rear and left rear are configured. The support frame 12 is formed with two grooves 14 and 14 (concave portions) for fitting two glass plates 13 defining the display chamber 2. A lip-shaped portion bent inward is formed on the edge that is the outside of the chamber 2, and a glass plate is formed in the narrowed portion between the tip of the lip-shaped portion and the opening edge that is the inside of the display chamber 2. 13 is sandwiched and held.
And the groove | channel 14 in which the glass plate 13 of the right front and left front support | pillar frame 12 is not inserted is used as a groove | channel which inserts the illumination module 16. FIG.

ここで、照明モジュール16の幅は溝14の底部の幅よりも狭いが、リップ状部で狭められる狭窄部の幅よりも大きいため、右前及び左前の支柱フレーム12のガラス板13が嵌め込まれない溝14のリップ状部14aをカットする後加工を施し、図6に示すように、リップ状部14aをカットしたことで開口端が広がった溝14に照明モジュール16を挿置し、固定してある。
照明モジュール16は、図7に示すように、LED(Light Emitting Diode:発光ダイオード)16a及びレンズ16bからなるLEDランプ(光源)を、長手方向に一定の間隔(例えば、10〜15mm程度)で点在するように配置して一体化したものである。
Here, although the width of the illumination module 16 is narrower than the width of the bottom of the groove 14, it is larger than the width of the constricted portion narrowed by the lip-shaped portion, so that the glass plates 13 of the right front and left front column frames 12 are not fitted. After the lip-shaped portion 14a of the groove 14 is cut, the lighting module 16 is inserted into the groove 14 whose opening end is widened by cutting the lip-shaped portion 14a as shown in FIG. is there.
As shown in FIG. 7, the illumination module 16 is configured such that an LED lamp (light source) including an LED (Light Emitting Diode) 16 a and a lens 16 b is lighted at a constant interval (for example, about 10 to 15 mm) in the longitudinal direction. It is arranged and integrated as it exists.

LED16aは、例えば、0.1W〜0.5W程度の消費電力であって、最大光度の1/2の範囲の配光角度(1/2ビーム角)が120度程度のものを用いる。
また、レンズ16bは、支柱フレーム12(照明モジュール16)の長手方向に直交する平面におけるLED16aの1/2ビーム角を50度程度にまで絞るものであり、このレンズ16bによる配光角度の絞りによって、光軸中心付近の光度を強くしている。
The LED 16a uses, for example, a power consumption of about 0.1 W to 0.5 W and a light distribution angle (1/2 beam angle) in the range of ½ of the maximum luminous intensity is about 120 degrees.
Further, the lens 16b is configured to restrict the 1/2 beam angle of the LED 16a in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the support frame 12 (illumination module 16) to about 50 degrees. The intensity around the center of the optical axis is increased.

レンズ16bによる配光角度の絞りは、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7のうちの最も近い商品7に直接光を照射しつつ、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7のうちの最も遠い商品7にも充分な直接光を照射できるように適宜設定すべき値であり、1/2ビーム角を50度に限定するものではない。
尚、レンズ16bから出射時において、光軸中心に対して略対称に光が放射されるようにしてある。
The aperture of the light distribution angle by the lens 16b irradiates light directly on the nearest product 7 among the products 7 arranged on the front end of the shelf 8, and also on the farthest product 7 arranged on the front end of the shelf 8. It is a value that should be set as appropriate so that sufficient direct light can be irradiated, and the 1/2 beam angle is not limited to 50 degrees.
It should be noted that when emitted from the lens 16b, light is emitted substantially symmetrically with respect to the center of the optical axis.

また、照明モジュール16は、幅W=15mm程度、高さH=13.5mm程度のものであり、長さは、陳列室2の高さに合わせてある。
そして、溝14に照明モジュール16を挿置したときに、溝14の開口縁からの照明モジュール16の飛び出し高さが例えば1mm以下になるように、照明モジュール16の高さを設定し、照明モジュール16によって陳列室2の開口部の面積が狭められることがないようにしてある。
The lighting module 16 has a width W of about 15 mm and a height H of about 13.5 mm, and the length is adjusted to the height of the display chamber 2.
Then, when the illumination module 16 is inserted into the groove 14, the height of the illumination module 16 is set so that the projection height of the illumination module 16 from the opening edge of the groove 14 is, for example, 1 mm or less. 16 prevents the area of the opening of the display chamber 2 from being narrowed.

溝14の開口縁からの照明モジュール16の飛び出し高さが高くなると、棚8の左右端に載せた商品7の一部が照明モジュール16の陰に隠れることによって商品7の視認性が低下したり、また、商品7の出し入れの際に照明モジュール16と商品とが接触したりする可能性がある。これに対し、溝14の開口縁から大きく飛び出さないように、溝14内に照明モジュール16を挿置できれば、照明モジュール16によって商品7の視認性が低下すること、及び、商品7の出し入れの際に照明モジュール16と商品とが接触することを抑制できる。
また、溝14に挿置した照明モジュール16の光軸中心は、相互に、対向する照明モジュール16に向けられる。
When the projection height of the lighting module 16 from the opening edge of the groove 14 is increased, the visibility of the product 7 may be reduced due to a part of the product 7 placed on the left and right ends of the shelf 8 being hidden behind the lighting module 16. Further, there is a possibility that the lighting module 16 and the product come into contact with each other when the product 7 is put in and out. On the other hand, if the illumination module 16 can be inserted into the groove 14 so as not to jump out of the opening edge of the groove 14, the visibility of the product 7 is reduced by the illumination module 16, and the product 7 is taken in and out. At this time, the lighting module 16 and the product can be prevented from contacting each other.
Further, the optical axis centers of the illumination modules 16 inserted in the grooves 14 are directed to the illumination modules 16 facing each other.

即ち、前面側の左右の支柱フレーム12のガラス板13を嵌め込まない2本の溝14、換言すれば、陳列室2の開口部の左右端に位置し照明モジュール16を挿置する2本の溝14は、本体前面を画成する透明板である扉6のガラス板5と棚8の前端に並ぶ商品列との間の空間において、陳列室2の開口面に平行な平面上で対向し、係る溝14に対して光軸中心が溝14の開口方向に一致するように照明モジュール16を挿置すれば、照明モジュール16の光軸中心は、相互に、対向する照明モジュール16に向けられることになる。   That is, two grooves 14 into which the glass plates 13 of the left and right column frames 12 on the front side are not fitted, in other words, two grooves that are positioned at the left and right ends of the opening of the display chamber 2 and in which the illumination module 16 is inserted. 14 is a space between the glass plate 5 of the door 6, which is a transparent plate defining the front surface of the main body, and the product row lined up at the front end of the shelf 8, facing on a plane parallel to the opening surface of the display chamber 2, If the illumination module 16 is inserted so that the optical axis center coincides with the opening direction of the groove 14 with respect to the groove 14, the optical axis centers of the illumination module 16 are directed to the illumination modules 16 facing each other. become.

図8(A)は、扉6を開いた状態のショーケース1を示し、図8(B)は、扉6を閉じた状態のショーケース1を示す。この図8に示すように、扉6を閉じた状態で、扉6の左右のフレーム6a,6aが、照明モジュール16の先端(レンズ16bを含むLED16aの先端)よりも陳列室2の開口部の中央側に張り出し、照明モジュール16(LED16a)が、扉6の左右のフレーム6a,6aの裏側に配置されるようにしてある。
これにより、ショーケース1を正面から見たときに、照明モジュール16(LED16a)が扉6の左右のフレーム6a,6aの裏側に隠れ、正面からは直接見えることがなく、顧客の視野に照明モジュール16(LED16a)からの光が直接入って眩しさを感じ難いようにしてある。
8A shows the showcase 1 with the door 6 open, and FIG. 8B shows the showcase 1 with the door 6 closed. As shown in FIG. 8, with the door 6 closed, the left and right frames 6a and 6a of the door 6 are located closer to the opening of the display chamber 2 than the tip of the illumination module 16 (the tip of the LED 16a including the lens 16b). The lighting module 16 (LED 16a) is arranged on the back side of the left and right frames 6a, 6a of the door 6 so as to project to the center side.
As a result, when the showcase 1 is viewed from the front, the illumination module 16 (LED 16a) is hidden behind the left and right frames 6a, 6a of the door 6 and is not directly visible from the front. 16 (LED 16a) directly enters and it is difficult to feel dazzling.

上記照明モジュール16(LED16a)を点灯すると、図9に示すように、扉6を閉じた状態において、照明モジュール16(LED16a)からの光は、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7に直接照射されると共に、扉6を構成するガラス板5にも照射されることになり、ガラス板5で反射した光は棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7に照射される。
即ち、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7は、照明モジュール16(LED16a)からの直接光で照明されると共に、ガラス板5からの反射光によっても照明される。
When the lighting module 16 (LED 16a) is turned on, as shown in FIG. 9, the light from the lighting module 16 (LED 16a) is directly irradiated to the products 7 arranged at the front end of the shelf 8 in a state where the door 6 is closed. At the same time, the glass plate 5 constituting the door 6 is also irradiated, and the light reflected by the glass plate 5 is irradiated to the products 7 arranged at the front end of the shelf 8.
That is, the products 7 arranged at the front end of the shelf 8 are illuminated by direct light from the illumination module 16 (LED 16a) and also illuminated by reflected light from the glass plate 5.

照明モジュール16(LED16a)からの直接光のみで棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7を照明する場合、照明モジュール16(LED16a)から見て陰となる商品7の側面側などには光が届かず、商品7に明瞭な陰影が出てしまうが、ガラス板5からの反射光は、照明モジュール16(LED16a)からの直接光とは異なる角度で商品7に照射されるため、照明モジュール16(LED16a)から見て陰となる商品7の側面側などにも光を照射させることができ、商品7の陰影を軽減できる。   When illuminating the product 7 arranged at the front end of the shelf 8 with only direct light from the illumination module 16 (LED 16a), the light does not reach the side surface of the product 7 that is shaded when viewed from the illumination module 16 (LED 16a), Although a clear shadow appears on the product 7, the reflected light from the glass plate 5 is applied to the product 7 at an angle different from that of the direct light from the illumination module 16 (LED 16a), and thus the illumination module 16 (LED 16a). Therefore, the side of the product 7 that is shaded as viewed from the side can be irradiated with light, and the shadow of the product 7 can be reduced.

また、LED16aの配光角度を、レンズ16bによって絞るので、配光中心近傍(光軸中心近傍)での光度が大きくなり、配光中心は、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7のうちの遠い側に向けられるので、照明モジュール16(LED16a)から遠い商品7に直接光を多く照射させることができ、更に、扉6を構成するガラス板5に照射される光のうち、照明モジュール16から遠い位置に照射される光は、ガラス板5に対する入射角度が大きくなって高い反射率を示すことになるから、照明モジュール16(LED16a)から遠い商品7の照度を高めることができる。   Further, since the light distribution angle of the LED 16a is reduced by the lens 16b, the light intensity near the light distribution center (near the optical axis center) increases, and the light distribution center is the far side of the products 7 arranged at the front end of the shelf 8. Therefore, the product 7 far from the lighting module 16 (LED 16a) can be directly irradiated with a lot of light, and further, the position far from the lighting module 16 among the light irradiated to the glass plate 5 constituting the door 6 Since the incident angle with respect to the glass plate 5 increases and shows a high reflectance, the illuminance of the product 7 far from the illumination module 16 (LED 16a) can be increased.

更に、上記の直接光による照明と反射光による照明とを、商品列を挟んで左右端に配置される一対の照明モジュール16(LED16a)で行うから、一方の照明モジュール16から遠い位置の商品7の照度を、他方の照明モジュール16からの光(直接光及び反射光)で補うことができ、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7を平均的に照明でき、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7毎の照度(輝度)ばらつきを抑制できる。
上記にように、上記実施形態のショーケース1では、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7毎の照度(輝度)ばらつき及び個々の商品7における陰影を抑制でき、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7が全体的に明るく見える。
Furthermore, since the illumination by the direct light and the illumination by the reflected light are performed by the pair of illumination modules 16 (LEDs 16a) arranged at the left and right ends with the product row in between, the product 7 at a position far from one illumination module 16 is provided. Can be supplemented with light (direct light and reflected light) from the other lighting module 16, and the products 7 arranged on the front end of the shelf 8 can be illuminated on an average basis. Illuminance (luminance) variation can be suppressed.
As described above, in the showcase 1 of the above embodiment, the illuminance (brightness) variation for each product 7 arranged on the front end of the shelf 8 and the shadow on each product 7 can be suppressed, and the product 7 arranged on the front end of the shelf 8 is entirely Looks bright.

棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7毎の照度(輝度)にばらつきがあったり、個々の商品7に陰影があったりすると、平均照度が高くても全体的に暗い印象を顧客に与えることになってしまうが、商品7毎の照度(輝度)ばらつき及び個々の商品7における陰影を抑制できれば、たとえ平均照度が同程度であっても全体的に明るい印象を顧客に与えることができ、購買意欲を喚起できる。
尚、扉6を開くと、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7は、扉6を構成するガラス板5からの反射光で照明されず、専ら照明モジュール16(LED16a)からの直接光で照明されることになり、扉6を閉じている場合に比べて商品7毎の照度(輝度)ばらつき及び個々の商品7における陰影が大きくなってしまう。
しかし、扉6を開いた時の陰影による暗さが目立つ分、扉6を閉めた時の反射光及び直接光による照明効果が一層際立ち、また、顧客による購買意欲は、扉6を閉じた状態で決まり、顧客が扉6を開くのは購入する商品を決定した後であるので、扉6を閉じた状態で全体的に明るい印象を与えることができればよい。
If the illuminance (brightness) of each product 7 arranged at the front end of the shelf 8 varies, or if each product 7 is shaded, the overall impression will be given to the customer even if the average illuminance is high. However, if the illuminance (brightness) variation for each product 7 and the shadows on the individual products 7 can be suppressed, even if the average illuminance is the same, the overall impression can be given to the customer and the purchase will be motivated. it can.
When the door 6 is opened, the products 7 arranged at the front end of the shelf 8 are not illuminated with the reflected light from the glass plate 5 constituting the door 6, but are exclusively illuminated with direct light from the illumination module 16 (LED 16a). As a result, the illuminance (brightness) variation for each product 7 and the shadow of each product 7 become larger than when the door 6 is closed.
However, since the darkness due to the shadow when the door 6 is opened is conspicuous, the illumination effect by the reflected light and direct light when the door 6 is closed is more conspicuous, and the customer's willingness to purchase is the state where the door 6 is closed Since the customer opens the door 6 after the product to be purchased is determined, it is only necessary to give a bright impression as a whole with the door 6 closed.

図10は、照明モジュール16からの直接光のみで、棚8に並ぶ商品7を照明することで、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7毎の照度を揃えるための要求配光特性を示す。
即ち、理論的には、棚8の前端の中央に位置する商品7には、左右の照明モジュール16から略同等の光が届き、その総和で照度が決定されることになるが、中央位置からずれた位置に配される商品7については、左右の照明モジュール16の一方から光量が減り逆に他方からの光量が増えることになり、係る相殺によって中央に位置する商品7と同じ照度になるようにすればよい。
FIG. 10 shows the required light distribution characteristics for aligning the illuminance for each product 7 arranged on the front end of the shelf 8 by illuminating the products 7 arranged on the shelf 8 with only direct light from the illumination module 16.
That is, theoretically, the product 7 located at the center of the front end of the shelf 8 receives substantially the same light from the left and right illumination modules 16, and the sum of the lights determines the illuminance. As for the product 7 arranged at the shifted position, the light amount decreases from one of the left and right illumination modules 16 and conversely increases the light amount from the other, so that the same illuminance as the product 7 located in the center is obtained by such cancellation. You can do it.

しかし、このような理想的な配光を実現することは困難であり、また、直接光のみによる照明の場合、商品7が凹凸のない例えば箱状のものであれば、均一に明るくできるが、陳列する商品7が例えばペットボトルなどの凹凸があるものである場合、図11に示すように、照明モジュール16に近い側の凸が光を遮り、商品7に陰を発生させることになってしまう。
図12は、照明モジュール16からの光を、扉6のガラス板5に反射させ、直接光と共に反射光で商品7を照明する場合における反射光の特性を示す図であり、分かり易くするために、本体前面の左側に配置した照明モジュール16からの光の反射特性のみを示す。
However, it is difficult to realize such an ideal light distribution, and in the case of illumination only by direct light, if the product 7 is a box-like shape having no irregularities, it can be uniformly brightened. If the product 7 to be displayed is uneven, such as a plastic bottle, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the projection on the side close to the illumination module 16 blocks light and causes the product 7 to be shaded. .
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the characteristics of reflected light when light from the illumination module 16 is reflected on the glass plate 5 of the door 6 and the product 7 is illuminated with reflected light together with direct light. Only the reflection characteristics of light from the illumination module 16 arranged on the left side of the front surface of the main body are shown.

ガラス板5における光の反射率は、ガラス板5に対する光の入射角が大きくなるほど高くなり、入射角は、照明モジュール16からより遠い位置でガラス板5に入射する光ほど大きくなるが、入射角と同じ反射角で光が反射することになるため、ガラス板5の左右方向における中央位置を越えるような遠い位置で反射した光は、商品7に照射されず照度アップに寄与しない。
しかし、反射光が商品7に照射されるガラス板5の反射領域内において、照明モジュール16からの遠い程反射率が高くなるから、照明モジュール16から遠い位置の商品7を効果的に照明でき、また、図13に示すように、一方の照明モジュール16からの直接光が届かない商品7の陰の部分に、他方の照明モジュール16からの光がガラス板5で反射した反射光を照射することができ、商品7間に発生する陰影を軽減できる。
The light reflectance on the glass plate 5 increases as the incident angle of the light with respect to the glass plate 5 increases, and the incident angle increases as the light enters the glass plate 5 at a position farther from the illumination module 16. Since the light is reflected at the same reflection angle, the light reflected at a far position exceeding the central position in the left-right direction of the glass plate 5 is not irradiated on the product 7 and does not contribute to the increase in illuminance.
However, in the reflection region of the glass plate 5 where the reflected light is irradiated to the product 7, the farther from the illumination module 16, the higher the reflectance, so that the product 7 far from the illumination module 16 can be effectively illuminated, Moreover, as shown in FIG. 13, the light from the other illumination module 16 is irradiated with the reflected light reflected by the glass plate 5 on the shaded portion of the product 7 where the direct light from one illumination module 16 does not reach. And shadows generated between the products 7 can be reduced.

ところで、上記実施形態では、溝14に挿置した照明モジュール16の光軸中心を、相互に、対向する照明モジュール16に向けるようにしたが、対向する照明モジュール16に向く方向から棚8側に僅かに傾いた方向、例えば、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7のうち最も遠い位置の商品7に向く方向に設定することができる。
前述のように、照明モジュール16が放射する光のうち、照明モジュール16から遠いガラス板5上に入射した光の反射光は、棚8に載せた商品7に照射されず無駄になってしまうので、照明モジュール16の光軸中心を、対向する他方の照明モジュール16から商品7(棚8)側に傾け、反射光が商品7に照射されないガラス板5上の領域に照射される光度を減らし、相対的に、遠い位置の商品7に対する直接光の光度を増やして、効果的に照明できるようにする。
By the way, in the said embodiment, although the optical axis center of the illumination module 16 inserted in the groove | channel 14 was turned to the mutually facing illumination module 16, it is on the shelf 8 side from the direction which faces the opposing illumination module 16. It can be set in a slightly tilted direction, for example, in a direction toward the farthest product 7 among the products 7 arranged on the front end of the shelf 8.
As described above, of the light emitted from the illumination module 16, the reflected light of the light incident on the glass plate 5 far from the illumination module 16 is wasted without being applied to the product 7 placed on the shelf 8. The optical axis center of the illumination module 16 is tilted toward the product 7 (shelf 8) side from the other illumination module 16 that is opposite, and the intensity of light irradiated on the region on the glass plate 5 where the reflected light is not applied to the product 7 is reduced. The brightness of the direct light with respect to the product 7 at a relatively far position is relatively increased so that the illumination can be effectively performed.

但し、照明モジュール16の光軸中心を、溝14の開口方向に対して傾けるためには、左右一対の照明モジュール16を別部品として形成する必要が生じたり、また、溝14の開口端縁からの照明モジュール16の飛び出しが大きくなったりことがあるのに対し、照明モジュール16の光軸中心を、相互に、対向する照明モジュール16に向けるようにすれば、左右一対の照明モジュール16を共通部品とすることができ、また、溝14の開口端縁からの照明モジュール16の飛び出しを最小にできる。   However, in order to incline the optical axis center of the illumination module 16 with respect to the opening direction of the groove 14, it is necessary to form the pair of left and right illumination modules 16 as separate parts, or from the opening edge of the groove 14. However, if the center of the optical axis of the illumination module 16 is directed toward the illumination modules 16 facing each other, the pair of left and right illumination modules 16 is a common component. Further, the projection of the illumination module 16 from the opening edge of the groove 14 can be minimized.

また、相互に対向配置される一対の照明モジュール16を、本体前面を構成するフレームである扉6のフレームの裏側に配置することができる。この場合、扉6を開いたときに、照明モジュール16による直接光が商品7に充分に届かなくなり、棚8の前端に並ぶ商品7の照度が低くなるが、前述のように、扉6を開いた時の陰影による暗さが目立つ分、扉6を閉めた時の反射光及び直接光による照明効果が一層際立つと共に、顧客の購買意欲は扉6を閉じた状態で決定され、また、顧客が扉6を閉じた状態では、支柱フレーム12の溝14に照明モジュール16を挿置した場合と同等の照明を行えるので、購買意欲を充分に喚起でき、更に、照明モジュール16と商品7とが重なることによる視認性の低下や、商品7の取り出し時に商品7が照明モジュール16に接触することを抑制できる。   Moreover, a pair of lighting modules 16 arranged to face each other can be arranged on the back side of the frame of the door 6 that is a frame constituting the front surface of the main body. In this case, when the door 6 is opened, the direct light from the lighting module 16 does not reach the product 7 sufficiently, and the illuminance of the product 7 arranged on the front end of the shelf 8 is lowered. As described above, the door 6 is opened. When the door 6 is closed, the darkness due to the shadow is conspicuous, and the lighting effect by the reflected light and direct light when the door 6 is closed is further conspicuous, and the customer's willingness to purchase is determined with the door 6 closed. When the door 6 is closed, it is possible to illuminate in the same manner as when the illumination module 16 is inserted in the groove 14 of the support frame 12, so that the purchase motivation can be sufficiently evoked, and the illumination module 16 and the product 7 overlap. It is possible to prevent the visibility of the product 7 from coming into contact with the illumination module 16 when the product 7 is taken out.

また、相互に対向配置される一対の照明モジュール16を左右端に配置する代わりに上下端に配置することができ、また、左右端に1対の照明モジュール16を配すると共に、上下端にも1対の照明モジュール16を配することができ、更に、左右端の一方側にのみ、又は、上下端の一方側にのみ照明モジュール16を配することもできる。また、本体前面の中央部に、商品を直接光及びガラス板5(透明板)からの反射光で照明するLEDを配することもできる。
また、本実施形態のショーケース1は、陳列室2を開閉する扉6を本体前側に設けてあるが、後側にも開閉扉を備え、この後側の扉から商品の補充などを行うショーケースにも、上記実施形態と同様の照明モジュール16を適用できることは明らかである。
In addition, a pair of lighting modules 16 opposed to each other can be arranged at the upper and lower ends instead of being arranged at the left and right ends, and a pair of lighting modules 16 are arranged at the left and right ends, and also at the upper and lower ends. A pair of lighting modules 16 can be arranged, and the lighting modules 16 can be arranged only on one side of the left and right ends or only on one side of the upper and lower ends. Moreover, LED which illuminates goods with direct light and the reflected light from the glass plate 5 (transparent plate) can also be arranged in the center part of the front surface of the main body.
In addition, the showcase 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a door 6 for opening and closing the display chamber 2 on the front side of the main body. It is obvious that the illumination module 16 similar to the above embodiment can be applied to the case.

更に、本実施形態では、顧客側である前面が扉6で開閉されるショーケースとしたが、前面側がガラス板(透明板)で閉塞され、後側に開閉扉を設けたショーケースにも、本願の照明技術、即ち、本体前面を構成するフレームの陳列室内で対向する部分それぞれに、フレームの長手方向に沿って複数のLEDを点在配置し、このLEDによる直接光及び前面を閉塞するガラス板からの反射光で、棚に陳列した商品を照明する構成を適用でき、上記実施形態と同様な効果が得られる。   Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the front side which is the customer side is a showcase that is opened and closed by the door 6, but the front side is closed by a glass plate (transparent plate), and the showcase provided with the opening and closing door on the rear side, Illumination technology of the present application, that is, a glass in which a plurality of LEDs are interspersed along the longitudinal direction of the frame in each of the opposing portions in the display chamber of the frame constituting the front surface of the main body, and the direct light by the LEDs and the glass that blocks the front surface The structure which illuminates the commodity displayed on the shelf with the reflected light from the board can be applied, and the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained.

また、上記実施形態では、陳列室2の周囲を画成する4面を全てガラス板(透明板)で構成したが、前面以外の少なくとも1面を、例えば断熱材上に化粧パネルを貼り付けた不透明な板で構成することができる。
また、上記実施形態では、透明板としてガラス板を用いたが、例えば透明な樹脂板を透明板として用いることができ、透明板をガラス板に限定するものではない。
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although all the 4 surfaces which define the circumference | surroundings of the display chamber 2 were comprised with the glass plate (transparent plate), the decorative panel was affixed on at least 1 surface other than the front surface, for example on a heat insulating material. It can be composed of an opaque plate.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the glass plate was used as a transparent plate, a transparent resin plate can be used as a transparent plate, for example, A transparent plate is not limited to a glass plate.
