  The present invention relates to a light emitting element lamp to which a light emitting element such as an LED is applied as a light source, and a lighting fixture using the light emitting element lamp.

A light emitting element such as an LED affects the life as well as the light output as the temperature rises. For this reason, in a lamp using a solid light emitting element such as an LED or EL element as a light source, it is necessary to suppress the temperature rise of the light emitting element in order to improve various characteristics of life and efficiency. In addition, it is necessary to take measures so that the heat generated from the lighting circuit for lighting the light emitting element does not affect the light emitting element while suppressing the temperature rise of the substrate provided with the light emitting element. Conventionally, in this kind of LED lamp, in order to efficiently dissipate heat, a column-shaped heat radiation portion is provided between the substrate on which the LED is arranged and the base, and a substrate is attached to the periphery of the columnar heat radiation portion. (See Patent Document 1).

  However, the one disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided with a special heat dissipating part as a heat dissipating measure, and does not take positive measures so that the heat generated from the lighting circuit does not affect the LED. .

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and effectively suppresses the temperature rise of the substrate on which the light emitting element is disposed by using heat radiation by the reflector and the case, and also enables mutual interaction between the lighting circuit and the light emitting element. It is an object of the present invention to provide a light emitting element lamp and a lighting fixture that can reduce the thermal influence of the light source.

  The light-emitting element lamp according to claim 1 has a thermally conductive case; an irradiation opening, and is formed so as to expand toward the irradiation opening. A thermally conductive reflector thermally coupled to one end of the case and housed in the case; a substrate provided with a light emitting element and thermally coupled to the reflector; A base connected to the other end side of the case via a heat-insulating cylindrical member; and a lighting circuit for lighting a light emitting element disposed on the cylindrical member.

  A light emitting element is solid light emitting elements, such as LED and organic EL. The light emitting element is preferably disposed by a chip-on-board method or a surface mounting method. However, due to the nature of the present invention, the disposition is not particularly limited. For example, a bullet-type LED is used. You may arrange | position to a board | substrate. Further, there is no particular limitation on the number of light emitting elements. The spreading of the light in the light irradiation direction of the reflector may be a form that continuously spreads, or a form that spreads in stages, that is, a form that spreads in a discontinuous shape. The heat insulating property of the cylindrical member means a property that heat conduction between the case and the base is difficult to be performed.

  The light emitting element lamp according to claim 2 is the light emitting element lamp according to claim 1, characterized in that a lighting circuit is housed in the vicinity of the base inside the cylindrical member.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a lighting fixture comprising: a fixture main body having a socket; and the light emitting element lamp according to the first or second aspect, which is mounted on the socket of the fixture main body.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to effectively utilize the relatively large heat radiation area of the reflector having a shape in which the heat of the substrate generated by lighting of the light emitting element is expanded toward the outer case and the irradiation opening. Since heat can be dissipated, the temperature rise of the light emitting element lamp can be effectively suppressed. In addition, the heat radiation path between the heat generated from the light emitting element and the heat generated from the lighting circuit can be separated, and the mutual thermal influence between the lighting circuit and the light emitting element can be suppressed.

  According to the invention of claim 2, the heat radiation effect of the lighting circuit can be improved, and the insulation process can be facilitated.

  According to invention of Claim 3, in addition to the effect which the said light emitting element lamp show | plays, the illuminating device which can conduct the heat | fever from a nozzle | cap | die to a socket and can thermally radiate effectively can be provided.

  Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a light-emitting element lamp of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a part of a light-emitting element lamp in cross section, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing a tubular member having heat insulation properties. First, the light-emitting element lamp of the present embodiment can be installed in place of an existing reflective incandescent bulb referred to as a so-called beam lamp, and has an external dimension substantially equivalent to that of a beam lamp. It is assumed that A beam lamp is a lamp suitable for spotlights in stores, floodlights such as buildings and billboards, and lighting in construction sites.

  In FIG. 1, a light-emitting element lamp 1 has the same external appearance as an existing beam lamp, and includes a case, that is, an outer case 2, a reflector 3, a light-emitting element 4, a cylindrical member 5, a base 6, and a translucent light. And a front lens 7 as a protective cover. The outer case 2 is made of, for example, an integrally molded product of aluminum, and is formed in a bowl shape so as to expand from the cylindrical root portion 2a to the opening portion 2b and to expose the outer peripheral surface to the outside.

  The reflector 3 is housed in the outer case 2 and is made of, for example, an integrally molded product of aluminum, like the outer case 2, and is provided with a reflecting surface 3a on the inner surface side, and extends from the root 3b to the irradiation opening 3c. We are open. A ring-shaped and flat reflector mounting portion 2c is formed at the end of the opening 2b of the outer case 2, and the edge of the irradiation opening 3c of the reflector 3 is formed on the mounting portion 2c. Part, specifically, the collar part 3d is placed. Therefore, the reflector 3 is thermally coupled to the outer case 2 at this portion. The material of the outer case 2 and the reflector 3 is not limited to aluminum, and a metal material or a resin material having good thermal conductivity can be used.

  A light emitting element 4 serving as a light source is provided at the root portion 3 b in the reflector 3. Here, the light emitting element 4 is an LED chip, and the LED chip is mounted on the printed circuit board 8 by a chip-on-board method. That is, LED chips are arranged on the surface of the printed circuit board 8 in a matrix form of 10 vertical 10 × 10 horizontal = 100, and a coating material is applied to the surface. The printed circuit board 8 is a substantially square flat plate made of metal or insulating material. When the substrate 8 is made of metal, it is preferable to apply a material having good heat conductivity and excellent heat dissipation, such as aluminum. In the case of an insulating material, a ceramic material or a synthetic resin material having relatively good heat dissipation characteristics and excellent durability can be applied. When a synthetic resin material is used, it can be formed of, for example, a glass epoxy resin.

  And the board | substrate 8 is attached to the board | substrate attachment part 3e formed in the inner bottom face part of the reflector 3 with the adhesive agent. As this adhesive, it is preferable to use a material having good thermal conductivity obtained by mixing a metal oxide or the like with a silicone resin adhesive. The board attachment portion 3e is formed integrally with the reflector 3 and forms a flat surface. In attaching the substrate 8 to the substrate attachment portion 3e, first, an adhesive is applied to the substrate attachment portion 3e, and the back surface of the substrate 8 is disposed thereon, and attached so as to be in surface contact with the substrate attachment portion 3e. In addition, the board | substrate attachment part 3e may be formed so that it may form in a different body from the reflector 3, and what was formed in this separate body may be couple | bonded with the reflector 3 thermally.

  The cylindrical member 5 is an electrically insulating protective cylinder, and as shown in FIG. 2, the cylindrical member 5 has a two-stage cylindrical shape composed of a large diameter portion 5a and a small diameter portion 5b, and is formed of PBT resin. Yes. The upper surface opening is covered with a cup-shaped lid body 9 in which insertion holes 9a and 9b for lead wires (not shown) are formed. This cylindrical member 5 has predetermined heat insulation properties and also has electrical insulation properties. The large-diameter portion 5a side is fixed to the root portion 2a of the outer case 2, and the base 6 is fixed to the small-diameter portion 5b side. The base 6 is a base of the base standard E26, and is a part that is screwed into the lamp socket of the lighting fixture when the light emitting element lamp 1 is mounted on the lighting fixture.

  A specific fixing state will be described. The base portion 2a of the outer case 2 is formed so as to cover the outer shape of the large-diameter portion 5a of the cylindrical member 5, and its lower end portion 2d is bent inward. The outer case 2 and the cylindrical member 5 are fixed by a ring-shaped collar 10. That is, the collar 10 is formed of PBT resin, and has a plurality of wedge-shaped engaging claws 10a. The engaging claws 10a are respectively provided on the lower end portion 2d of the outer case 2 and the lower end portion 5c of the large diameter portion 5a. The large diameter portion 5a of the cylindrical member 5 is fixed to the root portion 2a of the outer case 2 by penetrating through the formed through hole and elastically engaging. On the other hand, on the outer periphery of the small-diameter portion 5b of the cylindrical member 5, a protrusion 5d that functions as a male screw is formed. A spiral groove 4a that functions as a female screw on the inner surface side of the base 4 is formed on the protrusion 5d. Is screwed, and the base 6 is fixed to the cylindrical member 5. In this case, since the upper end portion 4b of the base 6 abuts on the lower end surface of the collar 10, the engagement of the collar 10 can be ensured and the outer case 2 and the cylindrical member 5 can be firmly fixed.

  Next, the lighting circuit 11 is accommodated in the cylindrical member 5. The lighting circuit 11 is for lighting an LED chip, and is composed of components such as a capacitor and a transistor as a switching element. The lighting circuit 11 is mounted on a circuit board 12, and the circuit board 12 has a substantially T shape and is housed in the cylindrical member 5 in the vertical direction. That is, the wide portion 12 a of the circuit board 12 is positioned in the large diameter portion 5 a of the cylindrical member 5, and the narrow portion 12 b of the circuit board 12 is positioned in the small diameter portion 5 b of the cylindrical member 5 and stored. is doing. Thereby, it becomes possible to arrange | position the circuit board 12 using a narrow space effectively. Further, a lead wire is led out from the lighting circuit 11 and is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 8 and the base 6 (not shown). Note that the lighting circuit 11 may be entirely stored in the cylindrical member 5, or may be configured such that a part thereof is stored and the remaining part is stored in the base 6.

  The front lens 7 is attached via packing so as to cover the opening 2b of the outer case 2 and the irradiation opening 3c of the reflector 3 in an airtight manner. The front lens 7 includes a condensing type and a diffused type, and can be appropriately selected depending on the application.

  The operation of the light emitting element lamp 1 configured as described above will be described. When the base 6 is attached to the socket of the lighting fixture and energization is performed, the lighting circuit 11 operates to supply power to the substrate 8 and the LED chip emits light. Most of the light emitted from the LED chip passes directly through the front lens 7 and is irradiated forward, and part of the light is reflected by the reflecting surface 3a of the reflector 3 and passes through the front lens 7 and is irradiated forward. The Accordingly, heat generated from the LED chip is mainly transmitted from almost the entire back surface of the substrate 8 to the substrate mounting portion 3e via the adhesive, and further conducted to the reflector 3 having a large heat radiation area. Furthermore, heat is conducted from the flange portion 3d of the reflector 3 to the flat reflector placing portion 2c of the outer case 2, and is conducted to the outer case 2 having a large heat radiation area. Thus, each member is thermally coupled, and the temperature rise of the substrate 7 can be suppressed by the heat conduction path and heat radiation.

  On the other hand, the heat generated from the lighting circuit 11 is mainly located in the base 6 because the base 6 is positioned so as to cover the lighting circuit 11, that is, the base 6 is positioned in the vicinity of the lighting circuit 11. The heat is transmitted to the lamp socket of the lighting fixture from the base 6 and radiated. Here, since the tubular member 5 having heat insulation is interposed between the outer case 2 and the base 6, thermal conduction hardly occurs between the outer case 2 and the base 6. Therefore, the heat radiation path between the heat generated from the LED chip and the heat generated from the lighting circuit 11 is separated, and the heat generated from the lighting circuit 11 and the heat generated from the LED chip can be suppressed from affecting each other. . Further, the upper side of the lighting circuit 11 is covered with the lid 9, and the lighting circuit 11 and the substrate 8 are arranged at a predetermined interval, that is, with the air layer a interposed therebetween. Also in this respect, the heat of the lighting circuit 11 is difficult to act on the substrate 8. As described above, the cylindrical member 5 has a function of housing the lighting circuit 11 to ensure electrical insulation, and is interposed between the outer case 2 and the base 6 to keep them in an adiabatic manner. It has both the function to perform and the function to fix the base 6.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, (1) the temperature rise of the substrate 8 on which the light emitting element 4 is disposed can be effectively suppressed using the reflector 3 and the outer case 2. Since the substrate 8 is in surface contact with the substrate mounting portion 3e of the reflector 3, heat conduction is good. Furthermore, since the reflector 3 and the outer case 2 are expanded in the light irradiation direction, the area of the outer peripheral surface that exerts a heat radiation action is large, and is another heat source, which requires thermal protection. Since it is provided on the side away from the lighting circuit 11, the use of the reflector 2 and the outer case 2 as heat dissipation elements is effective in suppressing the temperature rise of the substrate 8. (2) The flange portion 3d of the irradiation opening 3c of the reflector 2 is in contact with and thermally coupled to the reflector mounting portion 2c of the opening 2b of the outer case 2, and this portion is connected to the reflector 2 outside. Since the case 2 is the most widened edge portion, both contact areas can be increased. (3) Since the cylindrical member 5 having heat insulation is interposed between the outer case 2 and the base 6, a heat radiation path between the heat generated from the light emitting element 4 and the heat generated from the lighting circuit 11. And the heat generated from the lighting circuit 11 can be prevented from affecting the light emitting element 4. (4) Since the air layer a is interposed between the lighting circuit 11 and the substrate 8, it is possible to suppress the heat of the lighting circuit 11 from acting on the substrate 8. (5) The cylindrical member 5 has the functions of ensuring the electrical insulation of the lighting circuit 11, maintaining the outer case 2 and the base 6 in an adiabatic manner, and fixing the base 6 together. Therefore, the configuration can be simplified. (6) In addition, since a component member of an existing so-called beam lamp can be used, it is possible to share components and to provide an inexpensive light emitting element lamp.

  Next, a second embodiment of the light-emitting element lamp of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a front view showing a cross section of a part of the light emitting element lamp. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part which is the same as that of 1st Embodiment, or an equivalent part, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted. In this embodiment, the cylindrical member 5-1 having heat insulation and the electrically insulating protective cylinder 5-2 that houses the lighting circuit 11 are configured as separate parts. The cylindrical member 5-1 and the protective cylinder 5-2 are formed of PBT resin. One end side of the cylindrical member 5-1 is fixed to the root portion 2a of the outer case 2, and the base 6 is fixed to the other end side. In addition, the circuit board 12 is arranged and accommodated in the vertical direction in the protective cylinder 5-2.

  Also according to this embodiment, the heat radiation path between the heat generated from the light emitting element 4 and the heat generated from the lighting circuit 11 can be separated, and the heat generated from the lighting circuit 11 and the heat generated from the light emitting element 4 affect each other. Can be suppressed, and the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained.

  Next, an embodiment of a lighting fixture using a light emitting element lamp as a light source will be described with reference to a side view of FIG. The luminaire 20 is an outdoor spotlight. The lighting fixture 20 includes a fixture body 21 and a base 22 to which the fixture body 21 is attached. A socket 23 is provided in the appliance main body 21, and the base 4 of the light emitting element lamp 1 is screwed into the socket 23. The lighting fixture 20 is installed with the base 22 fixed to the ground or the like, and the orientation of the fixture main body 21 can be changed with respect to the base 22, and the light irradiation direction can be arbitrarily changed. it can. According to such a lighting fixture 20, the temperature rise of the substrate can be effectively suppressed by using the outer case and the reflector, and heat generated from the lighting circuit is mainly transmitted to the base and from the base to the lighting fixture. It is possible to provide a lighting fixture that can be conducted and radiated to a socket or the like, and that can suppress the temperature rise of the substrate more effectively.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, description has been made on the assumption that the existing structural members of the beam lamp are applied. However, in the present invention, it is not essential to use the existing structural members of the lamp.
