  Moreover, although the LED unit 90 is provided in both the window part 4 and the attachment frame 5, you may provide not only in this but in any one of the window part 4 and the attachment frame 5. FIG.

  Further, the number, arrangement (position), and orientation (direction of the optical axis 911) of the LED units 90 (illuminating devices 3) are not limited to those in the illustrated example.

  Since the configuration of each lighting device 3 is substantially the same, one lighting device 3 will be described below as a representative.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the illuminating device 3 includes a plurality of LED (light emitting diode) light sources 91 shown in FIG. 3 continuously provided along edges (edges 41 and 51) facing the gap 8. The LED unit 90 is provided.

  As this LED unit 90, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), it is packaged, and as shown in FIG. 2 (B), it is connected by a conducting wire (cable) for energization whose surface is insulated. The thing of various forms, such as what is, can be used. In the present embodiment, a plurality of LED light sources 91 shown in FIG. 3A are connected in a substantially straight line, packaged, and a long LED unit 90 is used.

  The LED light source 91 emits light and generates heat. As shown in FIG. 3, the LED light source 91 is provided on a rectangular plate-shaped base 92 and one surface of the base 92 (the upper surface in FIG. 3C). The reflector 93, the LED element 94, the phosphor 95, and the lens 96 are provided.

  The base 92 is formed by stacking rectangular metal plates in multiple layers. Further, a plus electrode 97 and a minus electrode 98 are attached to the base 92 by being sandwiched between the multilayer metal plates. In this case, the plus electrode 97 and the minus electrode 98 are not short-circuited. Further, as the main material of the base 92, a material that easily releases the heat of the LED element 94, that is, a metal material having high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy, is used.

  The reflector 93 has a frame shape and is disposed on the outer periphery of the base 92, and reflects light on the inner surface thereof.

  The LED element 94 is installed inside the reflector 93, that is, at the center of the base 92. The LED element 94 has a plus electrode 94a and a minus electrode 94b on its lower surface. The plus electrode 94a and the minus electrode 94b are connected to the plus electrode 97 and the minus electrode 98 of the base 92, respectively. The LED element 94 is lit (emitted) when a low-voltage direct current is supplied via the plus electrode 94a and the minus electrode 94b.

  The phosphor 95 is formed so as to cover the LED element 94, and the lens 96 is formed so as to cover the inner surface of the reflecting plate 93 and the phosphor 95.

  The structure of the LED light source 91 is not limited to that described above, and various types can be used.

  In this case, for example, the outer shape of the LED light source 91 is not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped, and may be, for example, a disk shape or a spherical shape.

  Further, as the lens 96, other shapes and characteristics may be used, and the lens 96 may be omitted.

  The LED unit 90 of the illuminating device 3 is connected to a power supply unit (not shown) by a conductive wire. When a current (for example, a low-voltage direct current) is supplied from the power supply unit, the LED unit 90 is driven (actuated), and each LED light source 91 lights up (emits light).

  The color of the light (illumination light) emitted from each LED light source 91, that is, the emission color of each LED element 94 may be white, and various color colors such as red, green, and blue, for example. It may be.

  Moreover, the light emission color in each LED element 94 may be the same, and may differ (a different color may be combined arbitrarily).

  The lighting device 3 is configured to drive the LED unit 90 in the closed state, and to drive the LED unit 90, each LED light source 91 emits light (lights) and generates heat.

  Moreover, the illuminating device 3 is comprised so that the LED unit 90 may not be driven and each LED light source 91 may each be extinguished (it does not generate heat) in the open state. Thereby, power consumption can be reduced.

  In the open state, the lighting device 3 turns off a part of the plurality of LED light sources 91 that are turned on (emitted) in the closed state, and continues to turn on the remaining LED light sources 91. The unit 90 may be configured to be driven. Thereby, each effect by light emission of the LED light source 91 mentioned later is acquired also in an open state.

  For example, the ON / OFF control of each LED light source 91 according to the closed state / open state of the window portion 4 is, for example, the open / close state of the window portion 4 (whether the window portion 4 is in the closed state / open state). It is possible to provide detection means for performing detection based on the detection result of the detection means. As a detection means, it can comprise, for example using various sensors, such as a sensor comprised by a predetermined switch, a touch sensor, and a magnetic sensor.

  In addition, the ON / OFF control is performed by, for example, switching an energization switching unit provided in a circuit (not shown) of the lighting device 3 by using a switch that is installed on the edge 41 of the window 4 so as to be freely movable. It can also be realized. When the switch is pressed against the edge 51 of the mounting frame 5 in the closed state, the switch of the energization switching unit of the illumination device 3 is switched so that power can be supplied to each LED light source 91, and the power to each LED light source 91 is switched. Enable supply. Further, when the switch 51 is opened and the pressing of the edge 51 of the mounting frame 5 is released, the switch is configured to cut off (cut) the power supply to the LED light source 91 that is turned off. Switch. When the LED light source 91 is configured to illuminate a part of the plurality of LED light sources 91 in the open state, the switch is used for the LED light source 91 that is set to continue lighting in the open state. Is configured to maintain a supply of power.

  In addition, the window assembly 1 is configured such that the LED units 90 of the plurality of lighting devices 3 are driven in the closed state, and the LED units 90 of the plurality of lighting devices 3 are not driven in the open state. . Thereby, power consumption can be reduced.

  However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, only a part of the LED units 90 of the plurality of lighting devices 3 may be driven in the open state. Thereby, each effect by light emission of the LED light source 91 mentioned later is acquired also in an open state.

  Here, the size of the window assembly 1 is not particularly limited, but is preferably set to be relatively small, that is, set to such an extent that a person cannot pass (exit / enter) the window assembly 1 in the open state. Thereby, a crime prevention effect is obtained, and intrusion of an unwilling third party into the room (inside the house) can be prevented even in the open state. Specific examples of dimensions are as follows.

  When the length (a) in the vertical direction (longitudinal direction) of the opening 53 of the mounting frame 5 is longer than the length (b) in the horizontal direction (lateral direction), that is, when the shape of the opening 53 is a substantially rectangular shape, the opening The vertical length a of the portion 53 is preferably about 10 to 200 cm. The horizontal length b of the opening 53 is preferably about 5 to 20 cm, and more preferably about 10 to 15 cm.

  When the horizontal length b of the opening 53 is longer than the vertical length a, that is, when the shape of the opening 53 is a substantially rectangular shape, the vertical length a of the opening 53 is It is preferably about 5 to 20 cm, more preferably about 10 to 15 cm. The horizontal length b of the opening 53 is preferably about 10 to 200 cm.

  When the vertical length a of the opening 53 and the horizontal length b are substantially equal, that is, when the shape of the opening 53 is substantially square, the vertical length a of the opening 53 is shown. The horizontal length b is preferably about 5 to 30 cm, more preferably about 10 to 20 cm.

  Next, the operation (operation) of the window assembly 1 will be described. As described above, since the configuration of each lighting device 3 is substantially the same, hereinafter, the operation of the lighting device 3 will be representatively described with respect to one of the lighting devices 3.

  When a power switch (main switch) (not shown) of the window assembly 1 is turned on, the window assembly 1 operates. The window assembly 1 may be operated at any time, but is preferably operated when the temperature is low, such as in winter or at night.

  When the window assembly 1 is activated, the LED unit 90 of the lighting device 3 is driven in the closed state, and each LED light source 91 emits light (lights) and generates heat, while in the open state, The LED unit 90 is not driven, and each LED light source 91 is turned off (does not generate heat).

  That is, in the closed state, when each LED light source 91 of the LED unit 90 is turned on (emits light), light is emitted from each LED light source 91. This light illuminates the interior and exterior of the house through the gap 8. That is, illumination light can be seen through the gap 8 from both inside (inside) and outside (outside) of the house. An aesthetic effect and a healing effect (relaxation effect) can be obtained by this illumination, particularly illumination inside the house, that is, indirect illumination. In general, indirect lighting is said to have aesthetic and healing effects.

  In addition, it is possible to give a feeling that there is a person in the house by illumination to the outside of the house, and when the person approaches the window assembly body 2 outside the house, the person is brightly illuminated, Thus, a crime prevention effect is obtained.

  Further, ventilation is performed through the gap 8 in the closed state. In this case, for example, a ventilation device (not shown) installed in a house may be operated to perform intake / exhaust.

  At the time of this ventilation, due to the heat generated by each LED light source 91, the air around the LED light source 91, that is, the cold air (air) flowing from the outside of the house to the inside (outside from the outside of the window portion 4) through the gap 8 However, it is heated in the gap 8, whereby fresh and warm air is introduced into the house (inside the room). In this way, the inflow of cold air into the house is prevented, and the inside of the house can be ventilated without cooling, thereby causing an unpleasant sensation such as “soothing” or “hitting” by the cold air, for example. It is eliminated and you can live comfortably in the house.

  Further, during ventilation, each LED light source 91 is cooled by air passing through the gap 8, thereby suppressing (or preventing) a decrease in luminous efficiency due to a temperature rise of each LED light source 91, thereby , Can be illuminated efficiently. Moreover, the lifetime of each LED light source 91 can be extended because each LED light source 91 is cooled.

  The lighting device 3 can change the magnitude of the voltage applied to the LED unit 90 (each of the LED light sources 91) in the closed state. Thereby, for example, in winter, the maximum voltage that can be applied to the LED unit 90 (each of the LED light sources 91) can be applied to increase (increase) the degree of warming. It can be heated sufficiently. In addition, in spring and autumn, which is warmer than winter, the voltage applied to the LED unit 90 (each of the LED light sources 91) can be set smaller than the maximum voltage, and the degree of heating can be suppressed. It is possible to prevent the cold air from being excessively heated.

  Thus, in the illuminating device 3, the grade of a heating can be changed according to a season, Therefore Warm air can be heated without excess and deficiency. Thereby, it can live more comfortably in a house.

  Needless to say, ventilation can be performed through the gap 8 without operating the window assembly 1 (even with the power switch turned off).

  Further, it is possible to prevent the window assembly body 2 from being condensed due to the heat generated by each LED light source 91.

  Further, the predetermined LED unit 90 is located on the lower side in the vertical direction of the window assembly main body 2 (window portion 4), and the air in the vicinity of the LED light sources 91 by the heat generated by each LED light source 91, that is, The air below the window assembly body 2 is heated and rises, thereby preventing a cold draft generated inside the window assembly body 2.

  Specifically, the cold draft (cold draft phenomenon) is caused when indoor air in the vicinity of the window assembly main body 2 is cooled and lowered through the window portion 4. The air flow that is heated and raised by the heat generated in 91, that is, the air flow that is cooled and lowered through the window portion 4 in the vicinity of the indoor side of the window assembly body 2 due to the rising hot air (warm air). That is, the descending cold air (cold air) is offset or mitigated, thereby preventing the cold draft.

  Moreover, when the illuminating device 3 operates and drives the LED unit 90, each LED light source 91 lights, and conversely, the illuminating device 3 does not operate and does not drive the LED unit 90. Since each LED light source 91 is extinguished, the LED unit 90 (LED light source 91) functions as a pilot lamp indicating whether or not the lighting device 3 is in operation. Thereby, it can be grasped easily and reliably whether the illuminating device 3 is operating.

  Moreover, the LED unit 90 (LED light source 91) has a function which shows whether the window part 4 is closed. That is, in the closed state, each LED light source 91 is turned on, and conversely, in the open state, each LED light source 91 is turned off, so that it is easy to determine whether or not the window portion 4 is closed. And it can be grasped reliably. Therefore, for example, when the room is warmed by a heater in winter, when the window 4 is in an open state, the open state can be recognized and the window 4 can be closed to maintain a warm state in the room.

  Moreover, the illuminating device 3 may be comprised so that it can select electricity supply / cut-off with respect to each of each LED light source 91 in an open state. Thereby, for example, in the open state, each of the predetermined LED light sources 91 can be set to be continuously turned on, and the remaining LED light sources 91 can be set to be turned off.
