Description

本発明は、コネクタカバー付きソケットおよび照明器具および照明装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a socket with a connector cover, a lighting fixture, and a lighting device.

近年、従来の白熱電球や蛍光ランプの他に光源に発光ダイオード(LED)や有機エレクトロルミネッセンス(有機EL)等の新光源を用いた製品が開発されている。またその他にも冷陰極蛍光ランプ(CCFL)を複数本並べて熱陰極蛍光ランプの代替にする製品等もある。中でも近年直管蛍光ランプの代替として直管形状のLEDランプ(直管形LEDランプ)が注目を集めている。直管形LEDランプには、直管蛍光ランプ用口金と互換口金を用い、従来の照明器具に取り付け可能なタイプと全く新しい口金を用いたタイプがあるが、現在は手軽にLED化が可能な前者が注目されている。   In recent years, in addition to conventional incandescent bulbs and fluorescent lamps, products using a new light source such as a light emitting diode (LED) or organic electroluminescence (organic EL) as a light source have been developed. In addition, there are products that replace a hot cathode fluorescent lamp by arranging a plurality of cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs). Among these, straight tube LED lamps (straight tube LED lamps) have recently attracted attention as an alternative to straight tube fluorescent lamps. There are two types of straight tube type LED lamps: one that can be attached to a conventional lighting fixture and the other that uses a completely new base, using a base for a direct fluorescent lamp and a compatible base. The former is drawing attention.

直管形LEDランプは主に基板上に実装された複数のLEDとLEDから発する熱を放熱するヒートシンク、LEDの光を拡散させる樹脂カバー、及び口金から構成されている。LEDの駆動方式もいくつか分かれており、特許文献1のように安定器から供給される電力をランプ内に内蔵されている駆動回路で直流(DC)に変換しLEDに供給する既設安定器接続方式、特許文献2のように商用電源とランプ口金を直接接続し、ランプ内に内蔵されている駆動回路でDCに変換しLEDに給電する商用電源直結方式、LED駆動回路をランプ外に設け、ランプ外駆動回路からDC電圧をランプ(LED)に供給する外付電源方式、非特許文献1のように従来の口金は機械的保持の目的でのみ使用し、給電はコネクタから行うコネクタ給電方式等がある。   A straight tube LED lamp is mainly composed of a plurality of LEDs mounted on a substrate, a heat sink that dissipates heat generated from the LEDs, a resin cover that diffuses the light of the LEDs, and a base. There are also several LED drive systems, and as in Patent Document 1, the existing ballast connection that converts the power supplied from the ballast to direct current (DC) by the drive circuit built in the lamp and supplies it to the LED System, a commercial power supply directly connected to a lamp base as in Patent Document 2, and converted to DC by a drive circuit built in the lamp to supply power to the LED, an LED drive circuit is provided outside the lamp, An external power supply system that supplies a DC voltage to a lamp (LED) from a lamp external drive circuit, a conventional base is used only for the purpose of mechanical holding as in Non-Patent Document 1, and a power supply system that uses a connector to supply power. There is.

従来のコネクタ給電方式による直管形LEDランプ装置は、例えば器具本体、器具本体内に収容されたランプ点灯回路、直管形LEDランプ、直管形LEDランプを保持するソケット、および点灯回路にリード線を介して接続されるコネクタ等を備え、器具本体の反射板にはコネクタ及びリード線を通すための開口穴が設けられている。この開口穴から出されたリード線に接続されたコネクタは、ランプ装着時に、直管形LEDランプの表面に形成されたコネクタ受け部に接続される。この場合、コネクタ受け部は、器具本体側(発光面と反対側)に位置するように配置される。   A conventional straight tube type LED lamp device using a connector power feeding method leads to, for example, an appliance body, a lamp lighting circuit housed in the appliance body, a straight tube LED lamp, a socket for holding a straight tube LED lamp, and a lighting circuit. A connector or the like connected via a wire is provided, and a reflection plate of the instrument body is provided with an opening hole for passing the connector and the lead wire. The connector connected to the lead wire extending from the opening hole is connected to a connector receiving portion formed on the surface of the straight tube LED lamp when the lamp is mounted. In this case, the connector receiving portion is disposed so as to be located on the instrument main body side (the side opposite to the light emitting surface).

カタログ「三菱直管形蛍光灯照明器具」、2010年10月、三菱電機オスラム株式会社発行Catalog “Mitsubishi Straight Tube Fluorescent Lighting”, published in October 2010 by Mitsubishi Electric OSRAM Co., Ltd.

上述のコネクタ給電方式による直管形LEDランプ装置は、ランプのコネクタ受け部が器具本体側に向いているため、ランプと器具との間隔が小さい器具では、コネクタが器具本体と干渉し取り付けが困難である。また、最初にコネクタをランプに接続し、その後ランプをソケットに取り付ける手順とした場合、高い天井での作業を考慮すると作業性が悪い。ソケットが回転式の場合には、ランプ回転時にコネクタが外れてしまうおそれがある。特に、既存の照明器具へのこの種のランプの設置作業では、器具本体の反射板を片手で持ちながら、コネクタ及びリード線を開口穴に通す必要があり、不安定な体制になりがちな高い天井での作業を考慮すると安全性および作業性を向上することが望まれる。さらに、ランプと開口穴間にリード線が露出するため美観を損なうこと、またリード線が影となって照明環境を損なうこと等の問題もある。   In the straight tube type LED lamp device using the above-described connector feeding method, the connector receiving portion of the lamp faces the appliance main body side. Therefore, in an appliance with a small distance between the lamp and the appliance, the connector interferes with the appliance main body and is difficult to install It is. Further, when the procedure is such that the connector is first connected to the lamp and then the lamp is attached to the socket, the workability is poor in consideration of work on a high ceiling. If the socket is a rotary type, the connector may come off during lamp rotation. In particular, when installing this type of lamp on an existing lighting fixture, it is necessary to pass the connector and lead wire through the opening hole while holding the reflector of the fixture body with one hand, which tends to be unstable. Considering work on the ceiling, it is desired to improve safety and workability. Furthermore, the lead wire is exposed between the lamp and the opening hole, so that the aesthetic appearance is impaired, and the lead wire becomes a shadow to impair the illumination environment.

本発明の目的は、直管形LEDランプの設置作業の安全性および作業性を向上するとともに美観および照明環境を良好に維持することができるコネクタカバー付きソケットおよび照明器具およびを提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a socket with a connector cover and a lighting fixture that can improve the safety and workability of installation work of a straight tube type LED lamp and can maintain a good aesthetic appearance and lighting environment. .

図1は、本発明に係る照明器具および照明装置の一実施例を示す分解斜視図である。本装置は、図示のように、直管形LEDランプ1を点灯するための点灯回路2を収納した器具本体3と、直管形LEDランプ1を保持するために器具本体3に設けられたソケット4,5と、直管形LEDランプ1の口金部6,7の一方の口金部6に形成されたコネクタ受け部8に電気的に接続されるコネクタ9、およびコネクタ9のコネクタ受け部8との接続部を覆いソケット4の先端部に取り付けられるカバー部10を有するコネクタカバー11と、カバー部10内およびソケット4内を通ってコネクタ9を点灯回路2に接続するリード線12とを備える。器具本体3のランプ設置側には反射板13を備える。   FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of a lighting fixture and a lighting device according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, this apparatus includes an instrument body 3 that houses a lighting circuit 2 for lighting a straight tube LED lamp 1 and a socket provided in the instrument body 3 to hold the straight tube LED lamp 1. 4, 5, a connector 9 electrically connected to a connector receiving portion 8 formed in one of the cap portions 6 of the cap portion 6, 7 of the straight tube LED lamp 1, and a connector receiving portion 8 of the connector 9 And a lead wire 12 that connects the connector 9 to the lighting circuit 2 through the cover 10 and the socket 4. A reflector 13 is provided on the lamp installation side of the instrument body 3.

直管形LEDランプ1は、その両端のピン14,15をそれぞれソケット4,5に接続することで保持される。ソケット4,5のピン受け部の少なくとも一方は、ランプ設置が容易となるように、ランプ端部から加えられる力で後退可能とすることができる。このピン14,15は、LEDランプの機械的保持構造としての役目を果たすもので、通電は行われず、点灯回路2とは電気的に絶縁されている。   The straight tube type LED lamp 1 is held by connecting the pins 14 and 15 at both ends thereof to the sockets 4 and 5, respectively. At least one of the pin receiving portions of the sockets 4 and 5 can be retracted by a force applied from the end of the lamp so that the lamp can be easily installed. The pins 14 and 15 serve as a mechanical holding structure for the LED lamp, are not energized, and are electrically insulated from the lighting circuit 2.

直管形LEDランプ1の器具本体3への取り付けは、次のように行う。まず、ソケット4からコネクタカバー11を外す。直管形LEDランプ1のピン14,15をそれぞれ対応するソケット4,5に接続する。このとき、直管形LEDランプ1のコネクタ受け部8は、器具本体3側とは反対側に位置するようにされる。そして、コネクタカバー11のコネクタ9を直管形LEDランプ1のコネクタ受け部8に接続する。これにより、コネクタカバー11のカバー部10がコネクタ9のコネクタ受け部8との接続部を覆うとともに、ソケット4の先端部に取り付けられる。以上により、直管形LEDランプ1は点灯回路2と電気的に接続され、点灯可能とされる。   The straight tube LED lamp 1 is attached to the appliance body 3 as follows. First, the connector cover 11 is removed from the socket 4. The pins 14 and 15 of the straight tube type LED lamp 1 are connected to the corresponding sockets 4 and 5, respectively. At this time, the connector receiving portion 8 of the straight tube type LED lamp 1 is positioned on the opposite side to the instrument body 3 side. Then, the connector 9 of the connector cover 11 is connected to the connector receiving portion 8 of the straight tube LED lamp 1. Thus, the cover portion 10 of the connector cover 11 covers the connection portion of the connector 9 with the connector receiving portion 8 and is attached to the distal end portion of the socket 4. As described above, the straight tube LED lamp 1 is electrically connected to the lighting circuit 2 and can be lit.

図2は、直管形LEDランプを取り付けた状態の直管形LEDランプ装置を示す図であり、(a)は上面図、(b)は正面図、および(c)は側面図である。図2(a)、(b)に示すように、コネクタカバー11は、直管形LEDランプ1の口金部6に形成されるコネクタ9のコネクタ受け部8との接続部を覆うとともに、ソケット4の先端部を覆っている。器具側面の形状は、図2(c)に示すように、従来の器具とほとんど変わりがない。器具本体3の反射板13には、コネクタ及びリード線を通すための開口穴はない。このため、ランプと開口穴間にリード線が露出して美観を損ねたり、リード線が影となって照明環境を損ねたりすることがなく、美観および照明環境を良好に維持することができる。また、従来のように、開口穴やランプ給電部にホコリ等が付着することもない。   FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a straight tube LED lamp device with a straight tube LED lamp attached thereto, wherein (a) is a top view, (b) is a front view, and (c) is a side view. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the connector cover 11 covers the connection portion with the connector receiving portion 8 of the connector 9 formed on the base portion 6 of the straight tube type LED lamp 1, and the socket 4. It covers the tip. The shape of the side surface of the instrument is almost the same as that of the conventional instrument as shown in FIG. The reflector plate 13 of the instrument body 3 does not have an opening hole for passing the connector and the lead wire. For this reason, the lead wire is exposed between the lamp and the opening hole and the aesthetic appearance is not impaired, and the lead wire is not affected by the shadow and the illumination environment is not impaired. Further, unlike the conventional case, dust or the like does not adhere to the opening hole or the lamp power feeding portion.

図3は、図2(a)のX−X断面図のうちコネクタカバー11の周辺部を示す図である。ソケット4は、その基部が器具本体3に取り付けられる。ソケット4は、器具本体3に着脱可能に構成される。コネクタカバー11のカバー部10は、ソケット4の先端部に取り付けられる。コネクタカバー11は、ソケット4と着脱可能とすることができる。これにより、直管形LEDランプ1のソケット4への装着を容易とすることができる。   FIG. 3 is a view showing a peripheral portion of the connector cover 11 in the XX sectional view of FIG. The base of the socket 4 is attached to the instrument body 3. The socket 4 is configured to be detachable from the instrument body 3. The cover portion 10 of the connector cover 11 is attached to the distal end portion of the socket 4. The connector cover 11 can be attached to and detached from the socket 4. Thereby, mounting | wearing to the socket 4 of the straight tube | pipe type LED lamp 1 can be made easy.

コネクタカバー11のコネクタ9は、直管形LEDランプ1のコネクタ受け部8に接続される。コネクタカバー11は、直管形LEDランプ1の口金部6をソケット4との間で機械的に保持する。また、コネクタカバー11は、口金部6とは異なる材料で形成することが好ましい。例えば、コネクタカバー11は、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)製とされ、口金部6はポリカーボネート(PC)製とされるが、これに限定されない。異なる材料とすることで、コネクタカバー11と口金部6との接続部で発生する接続音(軋み音など)を抑制可能である。本例のコネクタカバー11は、コネクタ9を押さえるコネクタ押さえ部材21を備え、またコネクタ押さえ部材21のソケット4側には、リード線12を案内する案内部材22を備える。案内部材22によりリード線12の配線を効率的に行うことができる。   The connector 9 of the connector cover 11 is connected to the connector receiving portion 8 of the straight tube type LED lamp 1. The connector cover 11 mechanically holds the base portion 6 of the straight tube type LED lamp 1 with the socket 4. The connector cover 11 is preferably formed of a material different from that of the base portion 6. For example, the connector cover 11 is made of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and the base 6 is made of polycarbonate (PC), but is not limited thereto. By using different materials, it is possible to suppress connection sounds (such as squeaking noises) generated at the connection part between the connector cover 11 and the base part 6. The connector cover 11 of this example includes a connector pressing member 21 that presses the connector 9, and a guide member 22 that guides the lead wire 12 on the socket 4 side of the connector pressing member 21. The lead member 12 can be efficiently wired by the guide member 22.

直管形LEDランプ1は、図3に示すように、筒状のランプカバー31と、その中に配置されるLED実装基板32と、LED実装基板32上にランプ長手方向に実装される複数個のLED33と、LED実装基板32の背面に設けられる例えばアルミニウム製のヒートシンク34とを備える。直管形LEDランプ1の口金部6はネジ35で光源ユニット36に接続される。口金部6には、コネクタ9と電気的に接続されるコネクタ受け部8が設けられる。コネクタ受け部8はLED実装基板32に接続される。これにより、点灯回路2からリード線12、コネクタ9、コネクタ受け部8、およびLED実装基板32を介して供給される電流によりLED33が駆動される。   As shown in FIG. 3, the straight tube LED lamp 1 includes a cylindrical lamp cover 31, an LED mounting board 32 disposed therein, and a plurality of lamps mounted on the LED mounting board 32 in the lamp longitudinal direction. The LED 33 and a heat sink 34 made of, for example, aluminum provided on the back surface of the LED mounting substrate 32 are provided. The base portion 6 of the straight tube LED lamp 1 is connected to the light source unit 36 with a screw 35. The base portion 6 is provided with a connector receiving portion 8 that is electrically connected to the connector 9. The connector receiving portion 8 is connected to the LED mounting board 32. Thereby, the LED 33 is driven by the current supplied from the lighting circuit 2 through the lead wire 12, the connector 9, the connector receiving portion 8, and the LED mounting substrate 32.

図4(a)〜(c)は、本発明に係る照明器具および照明装置の組立手順の一例を説明するための図である。まず、器具本体3にソケット4を取り付ける。既存のソケットが取り付けられている場合は、それをソケット4に交換する。コネクタ9に接続されたリード線12はソケット4内に通されている。反射板13を器具本体3に取り付ける。そして、ソケット4に直管形LEDランプ1を装着する。これは、図4(a)に示すように、直管形LEDランプ1のピン14を図の矢印方向にソケット4のピン受け部に差し込むことで行う。もう一方のピン15はソケット5のピン受け部に差し込む。次に、図4(b)に示すように、コネクタカバー11を図の矢印方向に移動させると、リード線12は自動的に器具本体3内に押し込まれる。コネクタカバー11がソケット4の先端部に取り付けられると、図4(c)に示すように、コネクタ9は直管形LEDランプ1のコネクタ受け部8に接続される。そして、コネクタカバー11のカバー部10は、コネクタ9のコネクタ受け部8との接続部およびソケット4の先端部を覆う。したがって、従来のように、開口穴を開けた反射板を片手で持ちながら、コネクタ及びリード線を開口穴に通す作業はなくなり、設置作業における安全性および作業性が向上する。   4A to 4C are diagrams for explaining an example of an assembly procedure of the lighting fixture and the lighting device according to the present invention. First, the socket 4 is attached to the instrument body 3. If an existing socket is attached, replace it with a socket 4. The lead wire 12 connected to the connector 9 is passed through the socket 4. The reflector 13 is attached to the instrument body 3. Then, the straight tube type LED lamp 1 is attached to the socket 4. As shown in FIG. 4A, this is done by inserting the pin 14 of the straight tube LED lamp 1 into the pin receiving portion of the socket 4 in the direction of the arrow in the figure. The other pin 15 is inserted into the pin receiving portion of the socket 5. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the connector cover 11 is moved in the direction of the arrow in the figure, the lead wire 12 is automatically pushed into the instrument body 3. When the connector cover 11 is attached to the tip of the socket 4, the connector 9 is connected to the connector receiving portion 8 of the straight tube LED lamp 1 as shown in FIG. The cover portion 10 of the connector cover 11 covers the connection portion of the connector 9 with the connector receiving portion 8 and the tip end portion of the socket 4. Therefore, unlike the prior art, there is no work of passing the connector and the lead wire through the opening hole while holding the reflection plate having the opening hole with one hand, and the safety and workability in the installation work are improved.

図5は、本発明に係るコネクタカバー付きソケットの一実施例を示す図であり、(a)は正面図、(b)は(a)のY−Y断面図である。コネクタカバー11のコネクタ9とカバー部10は一体として形成することができるが、コネクタ9とカバー部10を別体として形成してもよい。両者を一体とすれば、コネクタカバーに係る部品点数を削減することができる。一方、両者を別体とすれば、コネクタ9の直管形LEDランプ1への接続を容易とすることができる。また、コネクタカバー11は、図示のように、コネクタ9を押さえるコネクタ押さえ部材21を備えるとともに、コネクタ押さえ部材21のソケット4側には、リード線12を案内する案内部材22を備える。一方、ソケット4は、コネクタカバー11の案内部材22との対向位置に、リード線12を通す迎え部材41を備える。案内部材22や迎え部材41を備えることにより、コネクタカバー内やソケット内のリード線の配線を効率的に行うことができる。   FIGS. 5A and 5B are views showing an embodiment of the socket with a connector cover according to the present invention, in which FIG. 5A is a front view and FIG. 5B is a YY sectional view of FIG. Although the connector 9 and the cover part 10 of the connector cover 11 can be formed integrally, the connector 9 and the cover part 10 may be formed separately. If both are integrated, the number of parts related to the connector cover can be reduced. On the other hand, if the two are separated, the connection of the connector 9 to the straight tube LED lamp 1 can be facilitated. Further, as shown in the figure, the connector cover 11 includes a connector pressing member 21 for pressing the connector 9, and a guide member 22 for guiding the lead wire 12 on the socket 4 side of the connector pressing member 21. On the other hand, the socket 4 includes a receiving member 41 through which the lead wire 12 passes at a position facing the guide member 22 of the connector cover 11. By providing the guide member 22 and the pick-up member 41, the lead wires in the connector cover and the socket can be efficiently wired.

図6は、本発明に係るコネクタカバー付きソケットの一実施例を示す図であり、(a)は側面図、(b)は(a)のZ−Z断面図である。図示のように、コネクタカバー11のカバー部10は、ソケット4の先端部に着脱可能に取り付けられる。この場合、コネクタカバー11は、ソケット4とは異なる材料で形成することが好ましい。例えば、コネクタカバー11は、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)製とされ、ソケット4はポリカーボネート(PC)製とされるが、これに限定されない。異なる材料とすることで、コネクタカバー11とソケット4との接続部で発生する接続音(軋み音など)を抑制可能である。   6A and 6B are views showing an embodiment of the socket with a connector cover according to the present invention, in which FIG. 6A is a side view and FIG. 6B is a ZZ cross-sectional view of FIG. As illustrated, the cover portion 10 of the connector cover 11 is detachably attached to the distal end portion of the socket 4. In this case, the connector cover 11 is preferably formed of a material different from that of the socket 4. For example, the connector cover 11 is made of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and the socket 4 is made of polycarbonate (PC), but is not limited thereto. By using different materials, it is possible to suppress a connection sound (such as a squeaking sound) generated at the connection portion between the connector cover 11 and the socket 4.
