  However, with the diversification of lifestyles, the functions required of these lighting devices are not only to illuminate the surroundings brightly, but also to design light to enhance the production effect and increase the added value as a lighting device. Is desired.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an illumination device capable of suppressing glare to enhance a brilliant rendering effect and enhancing added value as a design illumination device. To do.

  An illumination device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a light source unit having a light emitting element as a light source; a region where the transmittance of light emitted from the light source unit is relatively small; and a region where the light transmittance is relatively large. A shade provided with light transmission control means formed so as to be mixed; and a diffusion member provided between the light source unit and the shade.

  According to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide an illuminating device that can suppress glare, enhance the effect, and increase the added value as an illuminating device.

It is a perspective view which shows the illuminating device which concerns on embodiment of this invention. It is a disassembled perspective view which shows the illumination device. It is a schematic plan view which removes a cover member and a lighting device cover in the same illuminating device, and is seen from below. It is sectional drawing which shows the same lighting fixture. It is sectional drawing which expands and shows the A section in FIG.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. In each drawing, the wiring connection relationship using lead wires or the like may be omitted. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The lighting apparatus of the present embodiment is for a general house that is used by being attached to a hanging sealing body as a wiring apparatus installed on the apparatus mounting surface, and has a plurality of light emitting elements mounted on a substrate. The room is illuminated by light emitted from the section.

  1 to 4, the lighting fixture includes a main body 1, a light source 2, a diffusing member 3, a lighting device 4, a lighting device cover 5, a mounting portion 6, and a shade 7. Moreover, the adapter A electrically and mechanically connected to the hooking sealing body Cb installed in the ceiling surface C as an instrument mounting surface is provided. Such a lighting fixture is formed in a round and circular appearance, and the front side is a light irradiation surface and the back side is a mounting surface to the ceiling surface C.

  The main body 1 is a chassis formed in a circular shape from a flat plate of a metal material such as a cold-rolled steel plate, and a circular opening 11 for disposing a mounting portion 6 described later is formed in a substantially central portion. Yes. Further, on the outer peripheral side of the flat portion 12 on the inner surface side to which the light source unit 2 is attached, a stepped portion 13 is formed toward the back side, and a bowl-shaped concave portion 14 is formed. Further, an elastic member 15 is provided on the back side of the main body 1.

  The light source unit 2 includes a substrate 21 and a plurality of light emitting elements 22 mounted on the substrate 21 (illustration of the light emitting elements 22 is omitted in FIG. 2). The substrate 21 is disposed so that four arc-shaped substrates 21 having a predetermined width dimension are connected to each other, and is formed in a substantially circle shape as a whole. That is, the substrate 21 formed in a substantially circle shape as a whole is composed of four divided substrates 21.

  By using the substrate 21 thus divided, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the substrate 21 by absorbing thermal contraction at the divided portion of the substrate 21. In addition, although it is preferable to use the board | substrate 21 divided | segmented into plurality, you may make it use the board | substrate of 1 sheet integrally formed in the substantially circle shape.

  The board | substrate 21 consists of a flat plate of the glass epoxy resin (FR-4) which is an insulating material, and the wiring pattern is formed with the copper foil on the surface side. Further, a white resist layer acting as a reflective layer is applied on the wiring pattern, that is, on the surface of the substrate 21. The material of the substrate 21 can be a ceramic material or a synthetic resin material when an insulating material is used. Furthermore, when it is made of metal, a metal base substrate in which an insulating layer is laminated on one surface of a base plate having good thermal conductivity such as aluminum and excellent heat dissipation can be applied.

  The light emitting element 22 is an LED, which is a surface mount type LED package. A plurality of LED packages are arranged along the circumferential direction of a plurality of circle-shaped substrates 21, that is, in a plurality of rows on a substantially circumference centered on the mounting portion 6, and in this embodiment, two rows on the inner peripheral side and the outer peripheral side. Has been implemented. In addition, the LED package uses a light white color and a light bulb color, which are alternately arranged, and the adjacent light emitting elements 22 in each row are spaced at substantially equal intervals. It is arranged. Color adjustment is possible by adjusting the current flowing through the LED package of daylight white color and bulb color.

  In addition, the light emitting element 22a for nightlights is mounted on the specific board | substrate 21 (right side in FIG. 3). For this light emitting element 22a, the same LED package as that of the light bulb color in the main light source mounted in a circle shape is used. Thereby, the common use of the member is achieved.

  The light emitting elements 22 are not necessarily mounted in a plurality of rows. For example, you may make it mount in 1 row along the circumferential direction. The number of columns and the number of the light emitting elements 22 can be appropriately set according to a desired output.

  The LED package is roughly composed of an LED chip disposed in a main body formed of ceramics or synthetic resin, and a translucent resin for molding such as epoxy resin or silicone resin that seals the LED chip. It is configured. The LED chip is a blue LED chip that emits blue light. The translucent resin is mixed with a phosphor so that daylight white or light bulb color light can be emitted.

  In addition, LED may be made to mount an LED chip directly on the board | substrate 21, and you may make it mount a bullet-type LED, and a mounting system and a format are not exceptionally limited.

  The diffusing member 3 is a lens member, and is made of, for example, a transparent synthetic resin having insulation properties such as polycarbonate and acrylic resin, and has reinforced insulating performance. The light emitting elements 22 are integrally formed in a substantially circular shape along the arrangement of the light emitting elements 22, and are disposed so as to cover the entire surface of the substrate 21 including the light emitting elements 22.

  In addition, the lens member has two ridges in the circumferential direction facing the light emitting element 22 on the substantially circular inner peripheral side portion and outer peripheral side portion, and a continuous ridge portion 31 having a constant cross-sectional shape is continuous. Is formed. A U-shaped groove 32 is continuously formed along the circumferential direction inside the protruding portion 31. Therefore, the U-shaped groove 32 is arranged to face the plurality of light-emitting elements 22, and the plurality of light-emitting elements 22 are accommodated and covered in the U-shaped groove 32. It is in a state.

  Further, a flat portion 33 extending in the width direction is formed from the protruding portions 31 so that the entire surface of the substrate 21 is covered.

  According to the lens member configured in this way, as shown in FIG. 5, the light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements 22 is diffused mainly by the protrusions 31 in the inner circumferential direction and the outer circumferential direction on the circumference. Is emitted. That is, the light emitted from the light emitting element 22 is mainly diffused and emitted in the radial direction with the circle-shaped center where the light emitting element 22 is disposed as the origin.

  Therefore, it is possible to improve the uniformity of the irradiation light by the light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements 22 by the lens member. Further, the graininess due to the luminance of each light emitting element 22 can be suppressed. In this case, it is desirable to set the light distribution angle by diffusion to about 120 to 160 degrees.

  Moreover, since the flat part 33 is formed in the diffusing member 3 so as to cover the entire surface of the substrate 21, the charging part is covered and protected by the diffusing member 3 having reinforced insulation performance.

  Note that the diffusing member 3 may not be integrally formed in a substantially circle shape. For example, corresponding to the divided substrates 21, the substrates 21 may be divided and formed. In this case, the plurality of light emitting elements 22 mounted on one substrate 21 are continuously covered with the diffusing member 3.

  Further, the diffusing member 3 is not limited to the lens member, and a prism or the like may be applied to provide the anisotropy of the irradiation range of the light emitting element 22.

  In the light source unit 2 configured as described above, as representatively shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the substrate 21 is positioned around the mounting unit 6, and the mounting surface of the light emitting element 22 is the front side, that is, It is arranged so as to face the lower irradiation direction. Further, the substrate 21 is attached in surface contact so that the back surface side of the substrate 21 is in close contact with the flat portion 12 on the inner surface side of the main body 1. Specifically, the diffusing member 3 is overlapped from the front side of the substrate 21, and the diffusing member 3 is attached to the main body 1 by a fixing means such as a screw S, so that the substrate 21 is connected to the main body 1 and the diffusing member 3. It is sandwiched between and pressed and fixed. That is, the substrate 21 and the diffusing member 3 are fastened together by one screw S.

  Accordingly, the substrate 21 is thermally coupled to the main body 1 so that heat from the substrate 21 is conducted from the back surface side to the main body 1 and radiated. The surface contact between the substrate 21 and the main body 1 is not limited to the case where the entire surface of the substrate 21 is in contact with the main body 1. It may be a partial surface contact.

  In addition, since the flat portion 33 of the diffusion member 3 is in surface contact with the mounting surface side of the substrate 21, heat is transmitted from the mounting surface side of the substrate 21 to the diffusion member 3 and passes through the diffusion member 3. Heat can be dissipated. That is, heat can be radiated from the front side of the substrate 21.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the lighting device 4 includes a circuit board 41 and circuit components 42 such as a control IC, a transformer, and a capacitor mounted on the circuit board 41. The circuit board 41 is formed in a substantially arc shape so as to surround the periphery of the mounting portion 6, and the adapter A side is electrically connected, and is connected to a commercial AC power source via the adapter A. Accordingly, the lighting device 4 receives this AC power supply, generates a DC output, supplies the DC output to the light emitting element 22 via the lead wire, and controls the light emitting element 22 to be turned on.

  Such a lighting device 4 is disposed between the attachment portion 6 and the light source portion 2, that is, the substrate 21.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the lighting device cover 5 is formed in a substantially short cylindrical shape by a metal material such as a cold-rolled steel plate and is attached to the main body 1 so as to cover the lighting device 4. The side wall 51 is inclined so as to expand toward the back side, and an opening 53 is formed in the front wall 52 so as to correspond to the attachment portion 6. Therefore, a part of the light emitted from the light emitting element 22 is reflected to the front side by the side wall 51 and effectively used. In addition, an arcuate guide recess that is recessed toward the back surface is formed at the periphery of the opening 53.

  The attachment portion 6 is an adapter guide formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and an engagement port 61 through which the adapter A is inserted and engaged is provided at the center portion of the adapter guide. The adapter guide is disposed corresponding to the opening 11 formed in the central portion of the main body 1. A base is formed on the outer periphery of the adapter guide so as to protrude from the outer periphery, and an electrical auxiliary component 62 such as an infrared remote control signal receiver or an illuminance sensor is disposed on the base. .

  Note that the attachment portion 6 is not necessarily a member referred to as an adapter guide or the like. For example, it may be an opening formed in the main body 1 or the like, and in essence, it means a member or a part that is opposed to the hooking sealing body Cb as a wiring device and to which the adapter A is engaged.

  The seed 7 is formed in a substantially circular shape from a translucent material such as an acrylic resin and having a milky white diffusibility.

  The shade 7 is detachably attached to the outer peripheral edge of the main body 1 so as to cover the front side of the main body 1 including the light source section 2. Specifically, by rotating the shade 7, a cover mounting bracket (not shown) provided on the shade 7 is engaged with a shade receiving bracket 75 disposed in the recess 14 on the outer peripheral edge of the main body 1. Mounted.

  A light transmission control unit 71 is formed on the inner surface of the shade 7. The light transmission control unit 71 is formed so that a region 71a having a relatively low light transmittance and a region 71b having a relatively large light transmittance are mixed.

  Specifically, the light transmission control unit 71 is formed by silk printing on the inner surface side of the shade 7, and the region 71a having a relatively small light transmittance is a region having a relatively large light transmittance. A large number of 71b is formed. The region 71a having a relatively small light transmittance is, for example, a portion coated with white ink, and the region 71b having a relatively large light transmittance is a portion not coated with white ink. In addition, this portion is formed so that a large number (infinite number) of small circular shapes are scattered in an area where white ink is applied.

  In other words, white ink is applied and printed on the inner surface side of the shade 7 leaving many small circular portions.

  Therefore, the light applied to the region 71a having a relatively small light transmittance is suppressed, and the region 71b having a relatively large light transmittance, that is, many small circular portions are irradiated. The transmitted light is transmitted well.

  Here, the light transmittance is relatively small and large means a relative relationship with the regions 71a and 71b. For example, the region 71a having a relatively small light transmittance has a predetermined transmittance. In many cases, the light emitted from the light source unit 2 is diffused to irradiate the lower irradiation surface. However, the light is hardly transmitted and may be formed substantially impermeable. It doesn't matter.

  That is, the region other than the region 71b having a relatively large light transmittance in the shade has translucency, is milky white, and has a diffusibility.

  By the way, when molding such a shade 7, silk printing is applied so that many small circular portions (portions where ink is not applied) are formed on the back side of the material such as acrylic resin. Thereafter, it is manufactured by pressure forming into a substantially circular predetermined shape.

  Further, the region 71a having a relatively small light transmittance and the region 71b having a relatively large light transmittance may be formed in a reverse relationship. In other words, a large number of small circular portions may be formed as regions where the light transmittance is relatively small. In this case, the diameter of the small circular shape may be appropriately set according to the design.

  Furthermore, the region 71b having a relatively high light transmittance can be formed by a small hole penetrating the inside and outside of the shade 7. Also in this case, it is possible to form a region where the light transmittance is relatively small and a region where the light transmittance is large.

  As described above, various configurations can be adopted as the configuration in which the region 71a having a relatively small light transmittance and the region 71b having a relatively large light transmittance are mixed. However, it is not limited to each specific configuration.

  In addition, the distance between the diffusing member 3 and the shade 7 is set to 20 to 60 mm, preferably 30 to 50 mm. Thereby, the uniformity of the irradiation light becomes good, and the heat conducted from the mounting surface side of the substrate 21 to the diffusing member 3 is effectively radiated through the shade 7.

  The adapter A is electrically and mechanically connected to a hooking sealing body Cb installed on the ceiling surface C by a hooking blade provided on the upper surface side, and has a substantially cylindrical shape. Is provided so that it always protrudes to the outer peripheral side by a built-in spring. The locking portion A1 is immersed by operating a lever provided on the lower surface side. Further, a power cord for connecting to the lighting device 4 is led out from the adapter A, and is connected to the lighting device 4 via a connector (see FIG. 3).

  Next, the attachment state to the ceiling surface C of a lighting fixture is demonstrated with reference to FIG. First, the adapter A is electrically and mechanically connected to the hanging sealing body Cb installed on the ceiling surface C in advance. From this state, the fitting body 6 is pushed up by hand from below until the engaging portion 61 of the adapter A is securely engaged with the engaging port 61 of the adapter guide while the engaging portion 61 of the adapter guide as the mounting portion 6 is aligned with the adapter A. To install. Then, the shade 7 is attached to the main body 1. This attachment completion state is the state shown in FIG. 4, and at this time, the elastic member 15 is interposed in close contact between the ceiling surface C and the back side of the main body 1, and the lighting fixture is fixed to the ceiling surface C. Become.

  Further, when removing the luminaire, it can be removed by removing the shade 7 and operating the lever provided on the adapter A to disengage the engaging portion A1 of the adapter A.

  When power is supplied to the lighting device 4 in a state where the lighting fixture is attached to the ceiling surface C, the light emitting elements 22 are energized through the substrate 21 and the light emitting elements 22 are turned on. The light emitted from the light emitting element 22 is diffused in the radial direction by the diffusion member 3 that continuously covers the plurality of light emitting elements 22 and is emitted to the front side. The light radiated to the front side is mainly directed to the light transmission control unit 72 of the shade 7 through the region 71b in which the transmittance of a large number of small circular lights is relatively large and transmitted through the shade 7. Irradiated. In this case, the light emitted from the light emitting element 22 is bent, dispersed, and reflected by the diffusing member 3 and irradiated outward through the shade 7 in the respective traveling directions.

  When such irradiating light is looked up from the lower side of the lighting device, the light emitting element 22 is directly viewed through the region 71b having a relatively high transmittance of the light positioned side by side with the light emitting element 22, and strong light feel. On the other hand, even when the light source does not exist in a straight line connecting the fulcrum with the region 71b having a relatively high light transmittance, the light from the light emitting element 22 is diffused by the diffusing member, and a slightly weak light can be felt. By using the diffusing member as a lens, the light from the light emitting element 22 can be directly viewed from various angles, so that the frequency and intensity of the shine can be improved.

  According to such a configuration, if the region 71b having a relatively high transmittance between the viewpoint and the light emitting element 22 is on a straight line, strong light, diffused light from the light emitting element 22 diffused by the diffusing member, and the viewpoint relatively If the region 71b having a high transmittance is on a straight line, light with a faint shine is not present, and if there is no diffused light from the light emitting element 22 and the light emitting device on a straight line connecting the viewpoint with the region 71b having a relatively high transmittance. , You won't feel a brilliant light.

  In this way, even when looking up at the lighting device or when viewed from the side of the lighting device, the light emitting element 22 appears to shine brightly with strong point-like light and weak light. Since a portion that seems to shine clearly and a portion that does not feel shine are mixed, the glare caused by the light emitting element 22 is visually recognized. In addition, by moving the viewpoint, each area that feels shine changes the intensity of light, or by repeatedly blinking, and the viewing position changes, so that various places shine brightly and irregularly. A sparkling decoration effect can be obtained. Furthermore, the uniformity of the irradiated light can be improved by the light passing through the 71a region having a relatively small light transmittance.

  On the other hand, the heat generated from the light emitting element 22 is effectively conducted to the main body 1 and is dissipated over a wide area because the back side of the substrate 21 is in surface contact with the main body 1. Further, since the step portion 13 is formed in the vicinity of the outer peripheral side of the substrate 21 along the outer periphery of the substrate 21, the heat radiation area can be increased by the step portion 13, and the heat dissipation effect at the outer peripheral portion of the main body 1. Can be increased. In addition, the step portion 13 can provide a reinforcing effect of the main body 1.

  In addition, since the lighting device 4 is disposed between the mounting portion 6 and the substrate 21, the lighting device 4 is reduced from being thermally affected by the substrate 21. This is because the heat of the substrate 21 is conducted toward the outer peripheral direction of the main body 1 and tends to be radiated.

  In addition, since the flat portion 33 of the diffusing member 3 is in surface contact with the mounting surface side of the substrate 21, heat can be radiated from the mounting surface side of the substrate 21 through the diffusing member 3 and also from the front surface side. Become. Further, in this case, since the diffusing member 3 covers the entire surface of the substrate 21, the charging unit is protected.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when looking up at the illumination device, the light is designed so that the light from the point light source shines brightly, so that the decoration effect is obtained and the production effect is enhanced. Become. Furthermore, the lighting fixture which can aim at the improvement of the uniformity of irradiated light by providing the diffusion member 3 which covers the light emitting element 22 continuously can be provided.

  The present invention is not limited to the configuration of each of the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the shape of the region 71b having a relatively high light transmittance of the light transmission control unit 71 is not limited to a circle, and it is also possible to apply a pattern to the holes of the light transmission control unit formed in the entire shade.
