以下、本発明の一実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1ないし図4に第1の実施の形態を示し、図1は光源の斜視図、図2は光源の平面図、図3は光源の断面図、図4は光源を備えた照明装置の一部を切り欠いて示す正面図である。   1 to 4 show a first embodiment, in which FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a light source, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the light source, FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the light source, and FIG. It is a front view which cuts and shows a part.

図4に示すように、照明装置であるLED電球11は、外囲器である本体12の内部に、点灯装置としての点灯基板13と、光源14とが配設されて構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 4, an LED bulb 11 as a lighting device is configured by a lighting substrate 13 as a lighting device and a light source 14 disposed in a main body 12 as an envelope.

本体12は、例えば合成樹脂、あるいは金属などにより形成され、図示しない商用電源に接続される口金16が一端側に取り付けられているとともに、他端側が拡開状に開口され、この開口に光源14が取り付けられている。なお、この本体12は、口金16に代えて端子代を取り付けたり、外部から電源線を直接導入するように構成したりしてもよい。また、この本体12の開口側に、光源14を覆うグローブなどを設けてもよい。   The main body 12 is formed of, for example, synthetic resin or metal, and a base 16 connected to a commercial power source (not shown) is attached to one end side, and the other end side is opened in an open shape. Is attached. The main body 12 may be configured such that a terminal cost is attached instead of the base 16 or a power line is directly introduced from the outside. Further, a glove or the like covering the light source 14 may be provided on the opening side of the main body 12.

口金16は、いわゆるエジソンベースなどであり、既存の電球用のソケットなどにねじ込んで接続および固定可能に構成されている。   The base 16 is a so-called Edison base or the like, and is configured to be connected and fixed by being screwed into an existing socket for a light bulb.

点灯基板13は、基板18上に図示しない各種部品が実装されて、AC−DC変換回路や定電流回路などが形成され、例えば本体12内に上下方向に沿って配設されている。また、この点灯基板13は、図示しない配線を介して口金16に電気的に接続され、この口金16を介して、外部の商用電源に接続されて給電されている。   The lighting substrate 13 is mounted with various components (not shown) on the substrate 18 to form an AC-DC conversion circuit, a constant current circuit, and the like. For example, the lighting substrate 13 is disposed in the main body 12 along the vertical direction. The lighting substrate 13 is electrically connected to a base 16 through a wiring (not shown), and is connected to an external commercial power source through the base 16 to be fed.

光源14は、図1ないし図3に示すように、円板状の配線基板21の一主面上に光源本体である複数のLED22が設けられているとともに、配線基板21の外側面である外周面に、放熱体である放熱板23が固定されている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the light source 14 is provided with a plurality of LEDs 22 as a light source body on one main surface of a disk-shaped wiring substrate 21 and an outer periphery that is an outer surface of the wiring substrate 21. A heat radiating plate 23 as a heat radiating body is fixed to the surface.

配線基板21は、例えばアルミニウム、あるいは銅などの金属材料、または、熱伝導率の高いセラミックスなどの絶縁性材料により形成されている。   The wiring board 21 is formed of a metal material such as aluminum or copper, or an insulating material such as ceramics having high thermal conductivity.

各LED22は、例えば配線基板21上にサファイアなどの基体を介して半導体チップおよび樹脂などが積層されて白色光を放射する構造に形成され、点灯基板13により所定の直流電圧を供給されることで点灯可能である。また、これらLED22は、例えば配線基板21の平面視での中心位置に対して略同心円上に、かつ、互いに略等間隔で配置され、互いに直列に接続されている。   Each LED 22 is formed in a structure in which a semiconductor chip and a resin are laminated on a wiring substrate 21 through a base such as sapphire to emit white light, and a predetermined DC voltage is supplied from the lighting substrate 13. Can be lit. Further, these LEDs 22 are arranged, for example, substantially concentrically with respect to the center position of the wiring board 21 in plan view, arranged at substantially equal intervals, and connected in series with each other.

放熱板23は、例えば1mm程度の厚みを有する金属、例えばアルミニウムなどの熱伝導性、熱放射性に優れた吸熱側と放熱側との温度勾配が高くなる板状の材料を、山部23aと谷部23bとが交互に隣接する波状にプレスするなどにより、表面が凹凸状となるように成形されている。また、この放熱板23は、配線基板21の外形形状に沿って、例えば熱伝導性に優れた接着剤、あるいは溶接により固定され、配線基板21の外周面全体を囲む環状をなしている。すなわち、放熱板23は、内周側に突出する谷部23bの先端が配線基板21の外周面に固定されている。さらに、この放熱板23は、例えば配線基板21の厚みよりも大きい高さ寸法を有し、高さ方向の略中間域に配線基板21が配設されている。したがって、放熱板23が本体12に固定され、配線基板21は本体12の開口側に対して直接接触せずに離間された状態で配設されている。   The heat radiating plate 23 is made of a plate-like material having a high temperature gradient between the heat absorbing side and the heat radiating side, such as a metal having a thickness of about 1 mm, for example, aluminum, which is excellent in thermal conductivity and heat radiation. The surface is formed to have an uneven shape by, for example, pressing in a wave shape adjacent to the portions 23b. Further, the heat radiating plate 23 is fixed along the outer shape of the wiring board 21 by, for example, an adhesive having excellent thermal conductivity or welding, and has an annular shape surrounding the entire outer peripheral surface of the wiring board 21. That is, in the heat sink 23, the tip of the valley portion 23b protruding to the inner peripheral side is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the wiring board 21. Further, the heat radiating plate 23 has a height dimension larger than the thickness of the wiring substrate 21, for example, and the wiring substrate 21 is disposed in a substantially intermediate region in the height direction. Therefore, the heat radiating plate 23 is fixed to the main body 12, and the wiring board 21 is disposed in a state of being separated from the opening side of the main body 12 without being in direct contact.

次に、上記第1の実施の形態の作用を説明する。   Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

LED電球11の口金16を所定のソケットにねじ込んだ状態で、商用電源からLED電球11に給電すると、電力が口金16を介して点灯基板13へと供給され、この点灯基板13にてAC−DC変換されるとともに電圧が調整されて、光源14のLED22へと所定電圧が印加され、各LED22が点灯し、この光が本体12の開口から放射される。   When power is supplied to the LED bulb 11 from a commercial power source with the base 16 of the LED bulb 11 screwed into a predetermined socket, electric power is supplied to the lighting substrate 13 through the base 16, and AC-DC is supplied to the lighting substrate 13. The voltage is adjusted and the voltage is adjusted, a predetermined voltage is applied to the LEDs 22 of the light source 14, each LED 22 is turned on, and this light is emitted from the opening of the main body 12.

このとき、各LED22は、点灯により熱を発生させ、この熱がLED22を配設した配線基板21に伝わる。そして、配線基板21の外周面に固定された放熱板23により、配線基板21に伝わった熱が放熱されることで、配線基板21の外周近傍の温度が、LED22近傍の位置よりも低くなり、LED22の点灯により発生した熱が、放熱板23側へと順次伝わって放熱される。   At this time, each LED 22 generates heat by lighting, and this heat is transmitted to the wiring board 21 on which the LED 22 is disposed. And, the heat transmitted to the wiring board 21 is radiated by the heat sink 23 fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the wiring board 21, so that the temperature near the outer periphery of the wiring board 21 becomes lower than the position near the LED 22, The heat generated by the lighting of the LED 22 is sequentially transmitted to the heat radiating plate 23 side and radiated.

以上のように、LED22を配設した配線基板21の外周縁部に沿って放熱板23を設けることで、特殊な成形金型などを用いることなく放熱板23を比較的安価に形成でき、また、配線基板21から放熱板23へ直接伝熱されるため、放熱板23により効率よく放熱できる。   As described above, by providing the heat sink 23 along the outer peripheral edge of the wiring board 21 on which the LEDs 22 are arranged, the heat sink 23 can be formed at a relatively low cost without using a special molding die. Since heat is directly transferred from the wiring board 21 to the heat sink 23, the heat sink 23 can efficiently dissipate heat.

特に、本実施の形態では、表面を凹凸状に形成した放熱板23を配線基板21の周縁部に固定して放熱体としているので、放熱板23を容易に形成できるとともに、放熱板23を山部23aと谷部23bとを交互に形成した凹凸形状とすることで放熱面積を拡大でき、放熱効率を、より向上できる。   In particular, in the present embodiment, since the heat sink 23 having an uneven surface is fixed to the peripheral portion of the wiring board 21 to form a heat radiator, the heat sink 23 can be easily formed and the heat sink 23 is By making the concave-convex shape in which the portions 23a and the valley portions 23b are alternately formed, the heat radiation area can be expanded, and the heat radiation efficiency can be further improved.

しかも、放熱板23は、厚みを比較的薄くし、温度勾配が高くなる部材により形成しているので、厚みを厚くしたり、温度勾配が小さい部材により形成したりする場合と比較して、放熱効率を、より向上できるだけでなく、放熱板23自体の重量も軽減でき、光源14およびLED電球11が必要以上に重くなることもない。   In addition, since the heat sink 23 is formed of a member having a relatively thin thickness and a high temperature gradient, the heat dissipation plate 23 can be radiated in comparison with a case where the thickness is increased or a member having a small temperature gradient is formed. Not only can the efficiency be improved, but the weight of the heat sink 23 itself can be reduced, and the light source 14 and the LED bulb 11 do not become heavier than necessary.

そして、放熱板23を本体12に固定することにより、例えば本体12を、放熱性を有する部材などにより形成すれば、放熱板23からの熱を本体12側に伝えてこの本体12側からも放熱可能となり、放熱効率を、より向上できる。   Then, by fixing the heat radiating plate 23 to the main body 12, for example, if the main body 12 is formed of a heat radiating member or the like, the heat from the heat radiating plate 23 is transmitted to the main body 12 side and heat is also radiated from the main body 12 side. This makes it possible to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

なお、上記第1の実施の形態では、放熱板23の高さを配線基板21の高さよりも高く形成しているが、少なくとも配線基板21と同等程度の高さを有していれば、放熱板23による放熱効率を確保できる。   In the first embodiment, the height of the heat radiating plate 23 is formed higher than the height of the wiring board 21. However, as long as it has at least the same height as that of the wiring board 21, The heat dissipation efficiency by the plate 23 can be secured.

次に、図5ないし図7に第2の実施の形態を示し、図5は光源の斜視図、図6は光源の平面図、図7は光源の断面図である。なお、上記第1の実施の形態と同様の構成および作用については、同一符号を付してその説明を省略する。   5 to 7 show a second embodiment. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the light source, FIG. 6 is a plan view of the light source, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the light source. In addition, about the structure and effect | action similar to the said 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

この第2の実施の形態は、上記第1の実施の形態の放熱板23に代えて、放熱体25,26が配線基板21の各主面に固定され、配線基板21の外周面全体が外部に露出しているものである。   In this second embodiment, instead of the heat sink 23 of the first embodiment, the heat radiators 25 and 26 are fixed to the respective main surfaces of the wiring board 21, and the entire outer peripheral surface of the wiring board 21 is external. Is exposed.

放熱体25,26は、例えばアルミニウムなどの吸熱側と放熱側との温度勾配が比較的高くなる物質により、配線基板21の外周縁部に沿う環状、本実施の形態では円環状に形成され、配線基板21の外周縁部に沿って配設されている。また、これら放熱体25,26は、配線基板21の各主面に、放熱性に優れた接着剤、あるいは溶接などにより固定されている。   The radiators 25 and 26 are formed in an annular shape along the outer peripheral edge of the wiring board 21, for example, an annular shape in the present embodiment, by a material that has a relatively high temperature gradient between the heat absorption side and the heat dissipation side, such as aluminum. Arranged along the outer peripheral edge of the wiring board 21. Further, these heat radiators 25 and 26 are fixed to the respective main surfaces of the wiring board 21 by an adhesive having excellent heat dissipation or welding.

さらに、放熱体25,26の外周面は、配線基板21の外周面と略面一となるように形成されている。   Further, the outer peripheral surfaces of the radiators 25 and 26 are formed so as to be substantially flush with the outer peripheral surface of the wiring board 21.

そして、点灯基板13からの給電により各LED22が点灯し、この光が本体12の開口から放射される。このとき、各LED22は、点灯により熱を発生させ、この熱がLED22を配設した配線基板21に伝わり、この配線基板21の外周近傍に固定された放熱体25,26により、配線基板21に伝わった熱を放熱するなど、上記第1の実施の形態と同様の作用効果を有することにより、上記第1の実施の形態と同様の作用効果を奏することが可能であるとともに、配線基板21の外周面を外部に露出させることで、この露出した外周面からの放熱を可能にして、放熱効率を向上できる。   Each LED 22 is turned on by power feeding from the lighting substrate 13, and this light is emitted from the opening of the main body 12.
