Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lighting device capable of improving adaptation of eyes to changes of brightness and easing a sense of incompatibility caused by changes of light colors.SOLUTION: In the lighting device, visibility can be improved since light irradiated on an outermost irradiation range (a first irradiation range X1) becomes light (light from a blue color to a blue green color) close to a peak wavelength (about 507 nm) of visible sensitivity in scotopic vision. Further, sudden changes of light colors can be restrained since a third irradiation range X3 for irradiating light with intermediate color temperature exists between the outermost first irradiation range X1 and the innermost second irradiation range X2. Consequently, the sense of incompatibility caused by changes of light colors can be eased. Furthermore, rapid change of brightness (illuminance) is restrained and the time needed until eyes adapt themselves to the change of brightness can be shortened (adaptation of the eyes is improved) since brightness (illuminance) of the third irradiation range X3 is set up at an intermediate value of the brightness (illuminance) of the first and the second irradiation ranges X1, X2.

Description

本発明は、照明装置に関し、特に街路照明などの屋外照明に用いられるのに好適な照明装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a lighting device, and more particularly to a lighting device suitable for use in outdoor lighting such as street lighting.

道路や街路の照明(以下、街路照明と総称する。)に用いられる照明装置は、道路や街路を通行する通行人や通行車両の運転手などの視認性を確保する必要がある。ところで、人の視感度は明所視、暗所視、薄明視でそれぞれ異なっている。明所視では錐体細胞の働きで色の知覚が可能であり、暗所視では錐体細胞が機能しないために色の知覚はできないものの、桿体細胞の働きによって感度が向上する。また、薄明視は明所視と暗所視の中間の状態であって、錐体細胞と桿体細胞の双方が機能している。ここで、明所視における視感度のピーク波長が約555nmであるのに対し、暗所視における視感度のピーク波長が約507nmにシフトしている。このような現象は、プルキンエ現象としてよく知られている。   Lighting devices used for road and street lighting (hereinafter collectively referred to as street lighting) need to ensure the visibility of passers-by and road vehicles on the road and street. By the way, the human visual sensitivity is different between photopic vision, scotopic vision, and dimming vision. In photopic vision, color can be perceived by the action of cone cells, and in dark vision, the cone cells do not function and cannot perceive color. However, the sensitivity is improved by the action of rod cells. In addition, twilight vision is an intermediate state between photopic vision and scotopic vision, and both cone cells and rod cells function. Here, the peak wavelength of visibility in photopic vision is about 555 nm, whereas the peak wavelength of visibility in dark vision is shifted to about 507 nm. Such a phenomenon is well known as the Purkinje phenomenon.

このプルキンエ現象を利用した照明装置として、特許文献１に記載されている屋外用の照明装置がある。この従来例では、灯具本体の垂直下方領域に白色光が照射され、当該白色光の照射領域の外側に青色光が照射されている。これにより、青色光によって視認性が向上するために犯罪抑止の効果が期待でき、しかも、白色光によって歩行者や車両の円滑な通行が妨げられない効果が期待できる。   As an illumination device using the Purkinje phenomenon, there is an outdoor illumination device described in Patent Document 1. In this conventional example, white light is irradiated to the vertically lower region of the lamp body, and blue light is irradiated to the outside of the white light irradiation region. Thereby, since the visibility is improved by blue light, an effect of crime prevention can be expected, and further, an effect can be expected that smooth traffic of pedestrians and vehicles is not hindered by white light.

特開２００８−１３５３８１号公報JP 2008-135381 A

しかしながら、特許文献１記載の従来例では、青色光の照射領域と白色光の照射領域との境界領域で比較的に大きな照度差が生じてしまい、歩行者や運転者の目が明るさの変化にスムーズに順応し難いという問題がある。また、青から白又は白から青への光色の変化が歩行者や運転者に違和感を持たせてしまうという問題もある。   However, in the conventional example described in Patent Document 1, a relatively large illuminance difference occurs in the boundary region between the blue light irradiation region and the white light irradiation region, and the pedestrian and driver's eyes change in brightness. There is a problem that it is difficult to adapt smoothly. In addition, there is a problem that a change in light color from blue to white or from white to blue makes a pedestrian or driver feel uncomfortable.

以下、本発明に係る照明装置を街路灯に適用した実施形態について、図面を参照して詳細に説明する。但し、本発明の技術思想が適用可能な照明装置は街路灯に限定されるものではなく、例えば、防犯灯などの屋外照明に用いられる照明装置全般が含まれる。   Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a lighting device according to the present invention is applied to a street lamp will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the illuminating device to which the technical idea of the present invention can be applied is not limited to a street light, and includes, for example, all illuminating devices used for outdoor lighting such as a security light.

(実施形態１)
本実施形態の照明装置は、図１(ａ)に示すように灯体４と支柱５を備えている。支柱５は柱状の金属体からなり、下部が地面に埋設されている。支柱５の上端に灯体４が取り付けられている。灯体４は、下面が開口した矩形の箱形に形成されている。そして、図１(ｂ)に示すように灯体４に、第１〜第３の光源１〜３と各光源１〜３を点灯する点灯装置(図示せず)が収納されている。 (Embodiment 1)
The illuminating device of this embodiment is provided with the lamp body 4 and the support | pillar 5 as shown to Fig.1 (a). The column 5 is made of a columnar metal body, and the lower part is buried in the ground. A lamp body 4 is attached to the upper end of the column 5. The lamp body 4 is formed in a rectangular box shape whose bottom surface is open. And as shown in FIG.1 (b), the lighting body (not shown) which lights the 1st-3rd light sources 1-3 and each light sources 1-3 is accommodated in the lamp body 4. As shown in FIG.

第１光源１は、青色の光を放射する発光ダイオードチップと、青色光を青緑色光に変換する色変換部材(青緑蛍光体)とで構成された複数個の発光ダイオード10からなる。これら複数個の発光ダイオード10は、相対的に高い色温度(例えば、16000ケルビン程度)の光を放射する。但し、発光ダイオード10は、紫色の光又は紫外光を放射する発光ダイオードチップと、青緑蛍光体の色変換部材との組み合わせであっても構わない。   The first light source 1 includes a plurality of light emitting diodes 10 each including a light emitting diode chip that emits blue light and a color conversion member (blue green phosphor) that converts blue light into blue-green light. The plurality of light emitting diodes 10 emit light having a relatively high color temperature (for example, about 16000 Kelvin). However, the light emitting diode 10 may be a combination of a light emitting diode chip that emits purple light or ultraviolet light and a color conversion member of a blue-green phosphor.

第２光源２は、青色の光を放射する発光ダイオードチップと、青色光を黄色光に変換する色変換部材(黄色蛍光体)とで構成された複数個の発光ダイオード20からなる。これら複数個の発光ダイオード20は、相対的に低い色温度(例えば、5000〜2700ケルビン)の光を放射する。但し、発光ダイオード20は、青色の発光ダイオードチップと緑及び赤の蛍光体との組み合わせや、紫色の光又は紫外光を放射する発光ダイオードチップと青及び黄色の蛍光体との組み合わせであっても構わない。若しくは、発光ダイオード20は、紫色の光又は紫外光を放射する発光ダイオードチップと青、緑、赤の３色の蛍光体との組み合わせであっても構わない。   The second light source 2 includes a plurality of light emitting diodes 20 each including a light emitting diode chip that emits blue light and a color conversion member (yellow phosphor) that converts blue light into yellow light. The plurality of light emitting diodes 20 emit light having a relatively low color temperature (for example, 5000 to 2700 Kelvin). However, the light emitting diode 20 may be a combination of a blue light emitting diode chip and green and red phosphors, or a combination of a light emitting diode chip that emits purple light or ultraviolet light and blue and yellow phosphors. I do not care. Alternatively, the light emitting diode 20 may be a combination of a light emitting diode chip that emits purple light or ultraviolet light and phosphors of three colors of blue, green, and red.

第３光源３は、青色の光を放射する発光ダイオードチップと、青色光を緑色光に変換する色変換部材(緑蛍光体)とで構成された複数個の発光ダイオード30からなる。これら複数個の発光ダイオード30は、第１光源１の色温度よりも低く且つ第２光源２の色温度よりも高い中間の色温度(例えば、6000ケルビン程度)の光を放射する。但し、発光ダイオード30は、紫色の光又は紫外光を放射する発光ダイオードチップと、緑蛍光体との組み合わせであっても構わない。   The third light source 3 includes a plurality of light emitting diodes 30 each composed of a light emitting diode chip that emits blue light and a color conversion member (green phosphor) that converts blue light into green light. The plurality of light emitting diodes 30 emit light having an intermediate color temperature (for example, about 6000 Kelvin) lower than the color temperature of the first light source 1 and higher than the color temperature of the second light source 2. However, the light emitting diode 30 may be a combination of a light emitting diode chip that emits purple light or ultraviolet light and a green phosphor.

図１(ｂ)に示すように、灯体４の光照射面(下面)における中央部分に第２光源２が配置され、当該中央部分の外側に第１光源１が配置されるとともに、第１光源１と第２光源２との間に第３光源３が配置されている。したがって、図１(ａ)に示すように、第２光源２から照射される低色温度の光が灯体４のほぼ真下の範囲(以下、「第２照射範囲」と呼ぶ。)X2に照射される。また、第３光源３から照射される中間の色温度の光が第２照射範囲X2の外側の範囲(以下、「第３照射範囲」と呼ぶ。)X3に照射される。そして、第１光源１から照射される高色温度の光が第３照射範囲X3の外側の範囲(以下、「第１照射範囲」と呼ぶ。)X1に照射される(図１(ａ)参照)。   As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the second light source 2 is arranged at the central portion of the light irradiation surface (lower surface) of the lamp body 4, the first light source 1 is arranged outside the central portion, and the first A third light source 3 is disposed between the light source 1 and the second light source 2. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the low color temperature light emitted from the second light source 2 irradiates a range X2 almost directly below the lamp body 4 (hereinafter referred to as "second irradiation range"). Is done. Further, light having an intermediate color temperature irradiated from the third light source 3 is irradiated to a range X3 outside the second irradiation range X2 (hereinafter referred to as “third irradiation range”). Then, the high color temperature light emitted from the first light source 1 is applied to a range X1 outside the third irradiation range X3 (hereinafter referred to as “first irradiation range”) (see FIG. 1A). ).

本実施形態の照明装置では、最も外側の照射範囲(第１照射範囲X1)に照射される光が、暗所視における視感度のピーク波長(約507nm)に近い光(青色から青緑色の光)であるために視認性の向上が図れる。また、最も外側の第１照射範囲X1と最も内側の第２照射範囲X2との間に、中間の色温度の光が照射される第３照射範囲X3が存在するため、光色の急激な変化が抑制される。その結果、光色の変化による違和感を緩和することができる。さらに、第３照射範囲X3の明るさ(照度)が第１及び第２照射範囲X1,X2の明るさ(照度)の中間値に設定されているため、急激な明るさ(照度)の変化が抑制されて明るさの変化に対して目が順応するまでの時間を短縮する(目の順応を改善する)ことができる。   In the illuminating device of this embodiment, the light irradiated in the outermost irradiation range (first irradiation range X1) is light (blue to blue-green light) close to the peak wavelength of visibility (about 507 nm) in dark place vision. Therefore, the visibility can be improved. In addition, since there is a third irradiation range X3 in which light having an intermediate color temperature is irradiated between the outermost first irradiation range X1 and the innermost second irradiation range X2, a rapid change in the light color. Is suppressed. As a result, the uncomfortable feeling due to the change in light color can be alleviated. Furthermore, since the brightness (illuminance) of the third irradiation range X3 is set to an intermediate value between the brightness (illuminance) of the first and second irradiation ranges X1, X2, there is a sudden change in brightness (illuminance). It is possible to reduce the time until the eye adapts to the change in brightness (improves eye adaptation).

ところで、第３光源３を構成する発光ダイオード30として、図２に示すような発光ダイオードを用いても良い。この発光ダイオード30は、図２(ａ)に示すように発光ダイオードチップ31と、発光ダイオードチップ31が実装される実装基板32と、発光ダイオードチップ31を覆う半球面状の光変換部材33とを具備している。光変換部材33は、透光性を有する合成樹脂材料によって半球面状に形成されるとともに、２つの４分の１球面の領域にそれぞれ異なる種類の蛍光材料が混合されている。したがって、発光ダイオードチップ31から放射される光の色が、光変換部材33の２種類の蛍光材料によって２種類の色に変換される。そして、光変換部材33の中央部分では、２種類の色の光が混ざり合うことで中間の色温度の光が得られる。あるいは、図２(ｂ)に示すように実装基板32の中央に設けられた円錐台形状の凹所32b底面に発光ダイオードチップ31が実装され、平板状に形成された色変換部材33で当該凹所32bの開口面が覆われるようにしても構わない。但し、発光ダイオード30の構造は図２に示すものに限定されず、発光ダイオードチップ31の真上に色変換部材が配置されていたり、発光ダイオードチップ31が収納されている凹所32ｂ内に色変換部材が充填されていても構わない。   Incidentally, a light emitting diode as shown in FIG. 2 may be used as the light emitting diode 30 constituting the third light source 3. As shown in FIG. 2A, the light emitting diode 30 includes a light emitting diode chip 31, a mounting substrate 32 on which the light emitting diode chip 31 is mounted, and a hemispherical light conversion member 33 that covers the light emitting diode chip 31. It has. The light conversion member 33 is formed in a hemispherical shape by a synthetic resin material having translucency, and different types of fluorescent materials are mixed in two quarter-spherical regions. Therefore, the color of light emitted from the light emitting diode chip 31 is converted into two kinds of colors by the two kinds of fluorescent materials of the light conversion member 33. In the central portion of the light conversion member 33, light of an intermediate color temperature can be obtained by mixing light of two types of colors. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2B, a light emitting diode chip 31 is mounted on the bottom surface of a truncated cone-shaped recess 32b provided in the center of the mounting substrate 32, and the concave portion is formed by a color conversion member 33 formed in a flat plate shape. The opening surface of the location 32b may be covered. However, the structure of the light emitting diode 30 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 2, and a color conversion member is disposed directly above the light emitting diode chip 31, or the color in the recess 32 b in which the light emitting diode chip 31 is accommodated. The conversion member may be filled.

The illumination device of the present embodiment is characterized by the configuration of the third light source 3 that emits light having an intermediate color temperature. However, since the configuration other than the third light source 3 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and illustration and description thereof are omitted.

本実施形態における第３光源３は、第１光源１を構成する複数個の発光ダイオード10の一部と、第２光源２を構成する複数個の発光ダイオード20の一部とで構成されている。すなわち、図３に示すように第１光源１と第２光源２との境界領域において、２種類の発光ダイオード10,20が縦方向及び横方向に互い違いに配置されている。そして、これら互い違いに配置された２種類の発光ダイオード10,20から放射される光が混ざり合って中間の色温度の光が作り出される。   The third light source 3 in the present embodiment is constituted by a part of a plurality of light emitting diodes 10 constituting the first light source 1 and a part of a plurality of light emitting diodes 20 constituting the second light source 2. . That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in the boundary region between the first light source 1 and the second light source 2, two types of light emitting diodes 10 and 20 are alternately arranged in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Then, light emitted from these two types of light emitting diodes 10 and 20 arranged in a staggered manner is mixed to produce light having an intermediate color temperature.
