The sample control means includes a switching means for switching the color temperature of light of the sample illumination unit 2 to less than 3300K or 5300K or more by turning on either the warm product LED 20 or the refrigerated product LED 21; The light control circuit of the illumination part 2 is controlled and the light control means for samples which adjusts the brightness at the time of lighting of LED20 for warm goods and LED21 for cold goods is provided. The display control means includes display light control means for controlling the light control circuit of the display illumination unit 3 to adjust the brightness when the display LED 30 is turned on.

  The control unit 4 includes an input device (not shown) such as a switch, a knob, and a push button for manually operating the switching unit, the sample light control unit, and the display light control unit. The LEDs to be turned on by the illumination unit 2 can be switched, and the brightness (brightness) of each LED 20, 21, 30 can be set to a desired value. The circuit configuration and the like of the control unit 4 can be conventionally well-known and will not be described.

  As described above, the lighting device includes the lighting block 1 and the control unit 4 and is installed in the vending machine 100 as follows. That is, the illumination block 1 is arranged in the exhibition space 111 in a state where it is embedded in the platform 130. At this time, the lighting block 1 allows the LED 20 for refrigerated goods, the LED 21 for refrigerated goods, and the LED 30 for display to face upward from the base 130, and as shown in FIG. The LED 20 and the refrigerated product LED 21 are placed inside the product sample 200, and the display LED 30 is placed outside the product sample 200. On the other hand, the control unit 4 is installed on the rear surface side (or vending machine main body 101) of the door unit 110, and is connected to the illumination block 1 by a control line L2.

  Next, the operation of the lighting device will be described. In the illumination device, the operation of the illumination block 1 is controlled based on the control signal of the control unit 4 as described above, and the product is obtained by the LED 20 for refrigerated product or the LED 21 for refrigerated product of the sample illumination unit 2. The sample 200 is illuminated from the inside, and the display space 111 outside the product sample 200 is illuminated by the display LED 30 of the display illumination unit 3.

  Here, whether the LED 20 for the refrigerated product or the LED 21 for the refrigerated product is lit in the sample illumination unit 2 depends on the type of the product sample 200 illuminated by the sample illumination unit 2 (whether it is a refrigerated product or a refrigerated product). Is selected).

  That is, when the product sample 200 is a warm product, the switching product of the control unit 4 turns on the warm product LED 20 so that the color temperature emitted from the warm product LED 20 is less than 3300K. Illuminated with light. On the other hand, when the product sample 200 is a refrigerated product, the LED 21 for refrigerated product is turned on by the switching means of the control unit 4, so that the color temperature emitted from the product sample 200 by the LED 21 for refrigerated product is 5300 K or more. Illuminated. In any case, the exhibition space 111 is illuminated with light whose color temperature emitted by the display LED 30 is 4300K.

  As described above, according to the illumination device of the present embodiment, the sample illumination unit 2 that illuminates the product sample 200 from the inside, and the sample illumination unit 2 has a light color different from that of the product sample 200. Since the display illumination unit 3 that illuminates the exhibition space 111 is provided, the light color of the sample illumination unit 2 that illuminates the product sample 200 is different from the light color of the display illumination unit 3 that illuminates the exhibition space 111. The light color of the sample illumination unit 2 can be made to stand out by contrasting with the light color of the display illumination unit 3, and the effect of producing the product sample 200 by illumination can be enhanced. Play.

  In particular, when the product sample 200 is of a warm product, the product sample 200 is illuminated with light having a color temperature of less than 3300K, so that the product is warm to the person who saw the product sample of the warm product. The impression that it is a thing can be given, and there exists an effect that a purchase willingness can be raised by this. Alternatively, when the product sample 200 is of a refrigerated product, the product sample 200 is illuminated with light having a color temperature of 5300K or higher. It is possible to give the impression that there is, and this has the effect of increasing the willingness to purchase.

  Further, as described above, if the product sample 200 is of a refrigerated product, if the product sample 200 is of a refrigerated product, the product sample 200 is irradiated with light of less than 3300K that makes the person feel warm. Since the product sample 200 is irradiated with light of 5300K or more that makes people feel cold, whether the product sample 200 is a warm product or a refrigerated product by looking at the product sample 200 Even if the display unit 140 is overlooked, it becomes easy to determine, and there is an effect that it is possible to suppress the purchase of a product having a temperature opposite to that desired.

  In addition, since the control unit 4 includes switching means for switching the color temperature of the light of the sample illumination unit 2 that illuminates the product sample 200 to less than 3300K or more than 5300K, the product sample is of a warm product. There is an effect that the color temperature can be easily switched according to the type of the refrigerated product.

  By the way, as the illumination block 1, as shown to FIG. 1 (a), (b), the illumination part 2 for a sample which has LED20 for refrigeration goods and LED21 for refrigeration goods, and the illumination part for exhibition which has LED30 for display 3 is used, however, for example, the one shown in FIG. 3A or 3B may be used.

  In the illumination block 1 shown in FIG. 3 (a), instead of providing the sample illumination unit 2 with the LED 20 for refrigerated products and the LED 21 for refrigerated products, three LEDs (red LED, green LED whose brightness can be individually adjusted) are provided. , A blue LED) is used. Correspondingly, the sample illumination unit 2 has a dimming circuit that controls the luminance of each of the white LEDs 22.

  When the lighting block 1 shown in FIG. 3A described above is used, light with a color temperature of 3300K or less or light with a color temperature of 5300K or more is emitted from the white LED 22 by individually controlling the brightness of each color LED. can do. Also, with such a white LED 22, the color temperature of the emitted light can be set to an arbitrary value, so that the color temperature of the light emitted by the sample illumination unit 2 can be changed according to the situation. It becomes. For example, the color temperature can be increased or decreased according to the temperature of the day, the season, or the like. In particular, a white LED using the above three-color LEDs can obtain better color rendering than a white LED composed of a blue LED and a phosphor that converts blue light into yellow light. There is also an advantage of being able to do it.

  On the other hand, in the illumination block 1 shown in FIG. 3 (b), in addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 3 (a), the display LED 30 of the display illumination unit 3 includes three LEDs (red LEDs whose brightness can be individually adjusted). , Green LED, blue LED), a white LED (RGBLED) 31 is used. With this change, the display illumination unit 3 has a light control circuit that controls the luminance of each LED of the white LED 31.

  In this way, the color temperature of the light emitted not only by the sample illumination unit 2 but also by the exhibition illumination unit 3 can be set to an arbitrary value. It becomes possible to change the color temperature of the emitted light. For example, by increasing or decreasing the color temperature according to the temperature of the day, the season, etc., the person who saw the vending machine 100 felt cool on a hot day, and saw the vending machine 100 on a cold day. It is possible to make people feel warm.

  Also, instead of using white LEDs that can individually control the luminance of the three colors of red, blue, and green, white LEDs that are formed by connecting red, blue, and green LEDs in series are used. The light temperature of the light emitted from the sample illumination unit 2 or the display illumination unit 3 is controlled by disposing a liquid crystal filter whose transmittance at a predetermined wavelength varies depending on the applied voltage on the optical path (optical axis) of the LED. You may do it.

  By the way, the light emitted from the sample illumination unit 2 of the illumination block 1 illuminates the product sample 200 from the inside thereof, and the light emitted from the display illumination unit 3 represents the exhibition space outside the product sample 200. 111 illuminate and have different light colors, it is preferable that the lights of the illumination units 2 and 3 are not mixed as much as possible.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, the exit surface of the lens unit 1b (the upper surface in FIG. 4A) is provided between the LED 20 for refrigerated product and the LED 21 for refrigerated product 21 and the display LED 30 in the lens unit 1b. ), A slit 1c that becomes narrower as it goes may be provided to interpose an air layer.

  The slit 1c has an isosceles triangular cross section perpendicular to the length direction (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 4A), and is thereby emitted from the LED 20 for refrigerated products and the LED 21 for refrigerated products. Both the light directed to the display LED 30 side and the light emitted from the display LED 30 and directed to the warm product LED 20 and the refrigerated product LED 21 side are reflected by the inner surface of the slit 1c to the exit surface side of the lens portion 1b. I am doing so. Therefore, according to such slit 1c, it can suppress that the light which LED20 for warm goods and LED21 for refrigerated goods radiate | emit, and the light which LED30 for exhibitions mix.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the substrate 1a is arranged so that the optical axis A1 of the LED for warm product 20 and the LED 21 for refrigerated product and the optical axis A2 of the LED for display 30 are not parallel and do not intersect. It may be bent. Also by doing in this way, it can suppress that the light which LED20 for warm goods and LED21 for refrigerated goods radiate | emit, and the light which LED30 for exhibition will mix.

  In the present embodiment, since a vending machine for beverage sales is mainly assumed as the vending machine 100, whether the product sample is a warm product or a refrigerated product is used. The type of the product sample is not limited to such a type, and frozen products (generally stored at −15 ° C. or lower) may be added to the types. In addition, as for the type of the product sample, various types such as beverage or food can be adopted in addition to the type based on the temperature (warm, refrigerated) as described above. For each type, A production effect by suitable illumination can be provided. This also applies to Embodiments 2 to 5 described later.

  Therefore, when the vertical piece 163b of the claw 163 is fitted into the hole corresponding to the claw 163 among the holes provided in the base part 130, the movable contact 50b is fixed by the vertical piece 163b. The switch 50 for warming determination is turned on by being pressed to the contact side. In addition, when the vertical piece 164b of the claw 164 is fitted into the hole corresponding to the claw 164 among the holes provided in the base 130, the movable contact 51b is fixed to the fixed contact by the vertical piece 164b. The switch for refrigeration determination 51 is turned on by being pressed to the side.

  Further, the warming determination switch unit 50 and the refrigeration determination switch unit 51 of the type determination unit 5 are connected to the control unit 4A using electric wires L3 and L4, respectively.

  The control unit 4A is the same as the control unit 4 of the first embodiment, but the configuration of the switching means is different. That is, the switching means of the control unit 4A is configured to select which one of the warmed product LED 20 and the refrigerated product LED 21 is turned on by turning on / off each of the determination switch units 50 and 51. In addition, as a method for detecting the on / off of each determination switch unit 50, 51, a voltage is applied to the switch units 50, 51 to determine whether a current is detected, and other conventionally known methods are used. be able to.

  More specifically, when the switching means detects that the warming determination switch unit 50 is on and the refrigeration determination switch unit 51 is off (that is, only the claw portion 164 is folded), A control signal is output to the illumination block 1 through the control line L2, and the LED 20 for the warmed product of the sample illumination unit 2 is turned on. On the other hand, when it is detected that the warming determination switch unit 50 is off and the refrigeration determination switch unit 51 is on (that is, only the claw portion 163 is folded), the illumination block 1 is transmitted through the control line L2. A control signal is output to turn on the refrigerated product LED 21 of the sample illumination unit 2.

  However, when both determination switch parts 50 and 51 are off or on (that is, both the claw parts 163 and 164 are folded or not folded), the warmed product LED 20 and Both of the refrigerated commodity LEDs 21 are configured not to be turned on.

  That is, in the lighting device of the present embodiment, when the product sample is a warm product, the sample placement jig 160 in which the claw portion 164 is folded and only the vertical piece portion 164b is removed is attached to the above-described base portion 130.

It is formed in a substantially L shape integrally including vertical piece portions 172b to 174b extending downward.

  Here, the claw portions 172 and 174 are used for fixing the sample placement jig 170 to the base portion 130, and the claw portion 173 is used for the type determination unit 6 to determine the type of the product sample. In this embodiment, when the claw part 173 is not folded (the vertical piece part 174b is not removed), it indicates that the product sample is a warm product, and the claw part 173 is folded to remove the vertical piece part 173b. If so, the product sample is configured to indicate that it is a refrigerated product. The claw portion 173 is provided with a slit 173c, which makes it easier to remove the vertical piece portion 173b by folding the claw portion 173.

  On the other hand, the base portion 130 to which the sample placement jig 170 is attached is provided with holes (not shown) into which the vertical piece portions 172b to 174b of the claw portions 172 to 174 of the sample placement jig 170 can be respectively fitted. ing.

That is, the switching means of the control unit 4B is configured to select which one of the warm product LED 20 and the refrigerated product LED 21 is turned on by turning on and off the determination switch unit 60. Note that the same configuration as that of the control unit 4A can be used as a method of detecting on / off of the determination switch unit 60.

  More specifically, the switching means outputs a control signal to the illumination block 1 through the control line L2 when it is detected that the determination switch 60 is on (that is, the claw 173 is not folded). Then, the LED 20 for the warmed product in the sample illumination unit 2 is turned on. On the other hand, when it is detected that the judgment switch unit 60 is turned off (that is, only the claw portion 173 is folded), a control signal is output to the illumination block 1 through the control line L2, and sample illumination is performed. The LED 21 for refrigerated goods of the part 2 is turned on.

  That is, in the lighting device shown in FIG. 7, when the product sample is a warm product, the sample placement jig 170 that does not have the claw portion 173 folded may be attached to the base portion 130 as described above. Then, the determination switch unit 60 of the type determination unit 6 is turned on, and the warmed product LED 20 of the sample illumination unit 2 is turned on. On the other hand, when the product sample is a refrigerated product, the sample placement jig 170 in which the claw portion 173 is folded and the vertical piece portion 173b is removed may be attached to the above-mentioned base portion 130. Since the judgment switch unit 60 of the unit 6 remains off, the refrigerated product LED 21 of the sample illumination unit 2 is turned on.
