  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the lighting fixture 10 mainly includes a light guide plate unit 30, a fixture body 40, a power supply device 50, a terminal block 60, a cover 20, and an end cover 70. The instrument body 40 constitutes a housing 25 that houses a part of the light guide plate unit 30 and the power supply device 50. Hereinafter, each component of the lighting fixture 10 is demonstrated.

[Light guide plate unit]
First, the light guide plate unit 30 will be described. The light guide plate unit 30 is an edge light type light guide plate unit. Specifically, the light guide plate unit 30 includes a light emitting device 31, a light guide plate 32, a holding member 33, a second engagement portion 34, and an engagement portion cover 35.

  The light emitting device 31 is an example of a light source. The light emitting device 31 is a light emitting module having an SMD (Surface Mount Device) structure, and includes an SMD type light emitting element (LED element 31b) as described later. The light emitting device 31 includes a substrate 31a and a plurality of LED elements 31b. Note that the light emitting device 31 may include at least one LED element 31b.

  The substrate 31a is a long flat plate whose longitudinal direction is the Y-axis direction. The planar view shape of the substrate 31a is rectangular, but may be other shapes. The substrate 31a is, for example, a CEM-3 (Composite Epoxy Material-3) substrate based on a resin material, but may be other resin substrates, or a metal base substrate or ceramic based on a metal material. It may be a ceramic substrate based on the material. Examples of other resin substrates include FR-4 (Frame Regentant-4) substrates. Examples of the ceramic substrate include an alumina substrate made of aluminum oxide (alumina) and an aluminum nitride substrate made of aluminum nitride. Further, examples of the metal base substrate include an aluminum alloy substrate, an iron alloy substrate, and a copper alloy substrate.

  The substrate 31a is not limited to a rigid substrate. The substrate 31a may be a flexible substrate whose base material is polyimide or the like.

  The LED element 31b is an SMD type light emitting element and emits white light. The LED element 31b includes a package having a recess, an LED chip mounted on the bottom surface of the recess of the package, and a sealing member that fills the recess of the package and seals the LED chip. The LED chip is, for example, a blue LED chip that emits blue light, and the sealing member is, for example, a silicone resin containing yttrium, aluminum, garnet (YAG) -based yellow phosphor particles as a wavelength conversion material. The LED element 31b has a metal terminal for mounting the LED element 31b on the substrate 31a.

  The plurality of LED elements 31b are arranged on the substrate 31a and emit light using electric power supplied from the power supply device 50. Specifically, the plurality of LED elements 31b are arranged in a straight line along the longitudinal direction of the substrate 31a to constitute a light emitting element array. In plan view, the light emitting element array is located at the end of the substrate 31a on the X-axis side. The plurality of LED elements 31b are arranged at regular intervals, for example. The plurality of LED elements 31 b emit light mainly toward the end surface 32 a of the light guide plate 32.

  The plurality of LED elements 31b are connected in series by a wiring pattern included in the wiring layer of the substrate 31a. In addition, the electrical connection mode (a series connection, a parallel connection, connection of the combination of a series connection and a parallel connection, etc.) of the some LED element 31b is not specifically limited.

  The light guide plate 32 is a long optical member whose longitudinal direction is the Y-axis direction. The shape of the light guide plate 32 viewed from the X-axis direction is a rectangular shape, but may be other shapes. The light guide plate 32 is formed of a translucent material (for example, a transparent material). The light guide plate 32 is formed of, for example, an acrylic resin, but may be formed of polycarbonate or glass.

  The light guide plate 32 has an end surface 32a, a first main surface 32b, and a second main surface 32c opposite to the first main surface 32b. At least the first main light incident on the end surface 32a from the light emitting device 31 is incident on the light guide plate 32. The light exits from the surface 32b.

  The end surface 32a is an incident surface on which light emitted from the light emitting device 31 is incident, and is disposed to face the light emitting device 31 (a plurality of LED elements 31b). In addition, it is not essential that the end surface 32 a is disposed to face the light emitting device 31. For example, the light emitted from the light emitting device 31 may be incident on the end surface 32a via another light guide member facing the end surface 32a such as an optical fiber.

  The first main surface 32 b is a light emitting surface that faces the power supply device 50. At least a part of the first main surface 32b is not covered by the cover 20 and the fixture body 40 and is exposed to the outside of the lighting fixture 10. The second main surface 32c is a main surface facing away from the first main surface 32b. The second main surface 32 c faces the first wall portion 42 of the instrument body 40 and is entirely covered by the first wall portion 42. At least one of the first main surface 32b and the second main surface 32c is provided with a reflecting structure for reflecting the light incident on the end surface 32a toward the first main surface 32b. Due to such a reflection structure, the first main surface 32b of the light guide plate 32 emits light. The reflection structure is, for example, a fine prism, but may be another structure.

  The holding member 33 is a long member whose longitudinal direction is the Y-axis direction, and is placed on the base portion 41 of the instrument main body 40. The holding member 33 holds the light emitting device 31 and the light guide plate 32. The holding member 33 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape having a gap into which the light guide plate 32 is inserted, for example, by bending a metal plate such as a steel plate. The light emitting device 31 is disposed inside the holding member 33 and is screwed to the holding member 33. The light guide plate 32 is inserted into the gap of the holding member 33 and screwed to the holding member 33. The holding member 33 may be formed by a combination of a plurality of sheet metals. The holding member 33 is screwed to the base part 41 of the instrument body 40, for example.

  The second engaging portion 34 is a member for locking the cover 20 to the instrument main body 40 and is attached to the holding member 33. The second engaging portion 34 engages with the second engaged portion 24 included in the cover 20. Specifically, the second engaging portion 34 includes, for example, a convex portion protruding toward the X axis − side and engages with a convex portion protruding toward the X axis + side included in the second engaged portion 24. .

  The second engagement portion 34 is a leaf spring formed by bending a metal plate such as a steel plate, for example, and is screwed to the holding member 33. When the second engaging portion 34 and the second engaged portion 24 are engaged, the elasticity of the second engaging portion 34 is used, so that the second engaging portion 34 is more than the holding member 33. Also, it is good to have high elasticity. In this case, the second engagement portion 34 may be formed of a sheet metal that is thinner than the sheet metal that forms the holding member 33, or may be formed of a material that is more elastic than the material that forms the holding member 33. The lighting fixture 10 includes two second engaging portions 34 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the holding member 33, but it is sufficient that at least one second engaging portion 34 is provided.

  The engagement portion cover 35 is a cover that covers the second engagement portion 34. The engagement portion cover 35 is formed, for example, by bending a sheet metal such as a steel plate and is screwed to the holding member 33.

  When installing the luminaire 10, the cover 20 is attached after a portion of the luminaire 10 other than the cover 20 is fixed to the structure. In a state where parts other than the cover 20 are fixed to the structure, it is difficult for the operator to see the position of the second engaging portion 34, and the cover 20 may be inserted at an inappropriate position. According to the engagement portion cover 35, it is possible to prevent the second engagement portion 34 from being deformed when the cover 20 is inserted at an inappropriate position. Moreover, according to the cover 35 for engaging parts, the operator can also give the touch that the cover 20 was inserted in the appropriate position.

  The packing 36 is a seal member that closes a gap between the first main surface 32 b and the holding member 33. The packing 36 is formed of, for example, a resin material such as an elastomer.

[Equipment body]
The instrument main body 40 supports the light guide plate unit 30 and the power supply device 50. More specifically, the instrument body 40 supports the light emitting device 31 and the light guide plate 32 via the holding member 33. The fixture body 40 constitutes the housing 25 of the lighting fixture 10 together with the cover 20. The instrument main body 40 has a long shape with the Y-axis direction as the longitudinal direction, and the cross-sectional shape when cut along a plane perpendicular to the Y-axis is a substantially square bracket shape.

  The instrument body 40 is produced by, for example, extrusion molding of a metal material such as aluminum. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape obtained by cutting the instrument main body 40 along a plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction is substantially the same regardless of the cutting position. In addition, the instrument main body 40 may be produced by a construction method other than extrusion molding. Moreover, it is not essential that the instrument main body 40 is formed of a metal material, and it may be formed of a resin material. More specifically, the instrument body 40 includes a base portion 41, a first wall portion 42, a second wall portion 43, a first engaging portion 44, and a position restricting portion 45.

  The base portion 41 is a substantially rectangular plate-like portion on which the light guide plate unit 30 and the power supply device 50 are placed in the instrument main body 40. The light guide plate unit 30 is disposed in a region on the X axis − side of the inner surface of the base portion 41, and the power supply device 50 is disposed in a region on the X axis + side of the inner surface of the base portion 41.

In plan view, the light emitting device 31 and the light guide plate 32 are located between the first rib 41a and the third rib 41c, and the power supply device 50 is located between the second rib 41b and the third rib 41c.

  In a state where the lighting fixture 10 is installed in the structure, the first rib 41a, the second rib 41b, and the third rib 41c basically come into contact with the structure. In addition, the 1st rib 41a is chamfered and, thereby, it becomes easy to install the lighting fixture 10 along the corner | angular of a structure.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the base portion 41 has an opening in a region between the second rib 41b and the third rib 41c, and the attachment member 80 protrudes outside the lighting fixture 10 from the opening. . The attachment member 80 is a member for attaching the luminaire 10 to the structure, and the luminaire 10 is installed in the structure by a rod-like member inserted into the insertion hole of the attachment member 80.

  The first wall portion 42 is a substantially rectangular plate-like portion erected on the end portion of the base portion 41 on the light guide plate 32 side. In other words, the end portion of the base portion 41 on the light guide plate 32 side is the end portion of the base portion 41 on the X-axis side. The first wall portion 42 is an example of a non-translucent plate material facing the second main surface 32c of the light guide plate 32, and covers the second main surface 32c. In a state where the lighting fixture 10 is installed in the structure, the first wall portion 42 basically does not contact the structure.

  The second wall portion 43 is a substantially rectangular plate-like portion erected on the end portion of the base portion 41 opposite to the light guide plate 32. In other words, the end portion of the base portion 41 opposite to the light guide plate 32 is the end portion of the base portion 41 on the X axis + side. The height of the second wall portion 43 from the main surface of the base portion 41 is lower than the height of the first wall portion 42 from the main surface of the base portion 41. A first engaging portion 44 is disposed on the inner surface of the second wall portion 43. In a state where the lighting fixture 10 is installed in the structure, the second wall portion 43 basically contacts the structure.

  The first engagement portion 44 is a portion for locking the cover 20 to the instrument main body 40, and is disposed on the inner surface of the second wall portion 43. The first engaging portion 44 engages with the first engaged portion 23 included in the cover 20. The first engaging portion 44 forms a groove along the longitudinal direction of the lighting fixture 10, and an end portion where the first engaged portion 23 of the cover 20 is provided is inserted into the groove. Specifically, the first engaging portion 44 includes, for example, a convex portion protruding to the X axis + side and engages with a convex portion protruding to the X axis − side included in the first engaged portion 23. .

  In the lighting fixture 10, a space S <b> 2 (shown in FIG. 6) is formed between the first engagement portion 44 and the base portion 41. The space S2 is useful as a space for accommodating the power cable. If the power cable is accommodated in the space S2, the first engagement portion 44 also functions as a power cable presser.

  The position restricting portion 45 is located at the end on the Z axis + side of the first wall portion 42, and the cross-sectional shape is a square bracket portion. The position restricting portion 45 forms a groove along the longitudinal direction of the lighting fixture 10, and the end on the Z axis + side of the light guide plate 32 is inserted into the groove. Thereby, the position of the light guide plate 32 is regulated.

[Power supply and terminal block]
The power supply device 50 is a device that supplies power to the light emitting device 31 of the light guide plate unit 30. Specifically, the power supply device 50 converts AC power obtained via a power cable (not shown) inserted into the terminal block 60 into power suitable for light emission of the plurality of LED elements 31b included in the light emitting device 31. Then, the converted electric power is supplied to the plurality of LED elements 31b. As a result, the plurality of LED elements 31 b emit light using the power supplied from the power supply device 50.

  Specifically, the power supply device 50 includes a circuit that converts AC power into DC power, for example. The plurality of circuit elements constituting the circuit include, for example, a capacitor element such as an electrolytic capacitor or a ceramic capacitor, a resistor element such as a resistor, a rectifier element, a fuse, a noise filter, a diode, and a semiconductor element such as an integrated circuit element. Etc. are included. A circuit that converts AC power into DC power is, for example, a switching power supply circuit.

  The terminal block 60 is a terminal unit into which a power cable for the lighting apparatus 10 to obtain AC power from the power system is inserted. Although not shown in detail, the terminal block 60 includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped main body, a quick connection terminal disposed in the main body, and the like. The quick connection terminal is electrically connected to an end of a power cable inserted into an insertion hole provided in the main body. Note that a cable for transmitting a signal such as a dimming signal may be inserted into the terminal block 60.

[cover]
The cover 20 covers the power supply device 50. The cover 20 constitutes the housing 25 of the lighting fixture 10 together with the fixture body 40. The cover 20 has a long shape whose longitudinal direction is the Y-axis direction. The cover 20 is produced by, for example, extrusion molding of a metal material such as aluminum. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape obtained by cutting the cover 20 along a plane perpendicular to the Y-axis direction is substantially the same regardless of the cutting position. Note that the cover 20 may be manufactured by a method other than extrusion. Moreover, it is not essential that the cover 20 is formed of a metal material, and the cover 20 may be formed of a resin material.

  The cover 20 has a first engaged portion 23 and a second engaged portion 24. The first engaged portion 23 is disposed at the end on the X axis + side of the cover 20. The first engaged portion 23 is a rib-shaped portion that protrudes toward the Z-axis and is long in the Y-axis direction. The first engaged portion 23 includes a convex portion that protrudes toward the X axis − side, and the convex portion engages with a convex portion that protrudes toward the X axis + side of the first engaging portion 44.

  The second engaged portion 24 is disposed at the end of the cover 20 on the X axis − side. The second engaged portion 24 is a rib-like portion that protrudes toward the Z-axis and is long in the Y-axis direction. The second engaged portion 24 includes a convex portion protruding toward the X axis + side, and the convex portion engages with a convex portion protruding toward the X axis− side of the second engaging portion 34.

  As described above, the first engaged portion 23 and the first engaging portion 44 are engaged, and the second engaged portion 24 and the second engaging portion 34 are engaged. Locks to the instrument body 40. According to such an engagement structure, attachment of the cover 20 to the instrument body 40 is facilitated. The cover 20 may be attached to the instrument body 40 by a method other than engagement, such as screwing.

  The surface of the cover 20 has light reflectivity. The surface of the cover 20 has light reflectivity by applying, for example, a white paint, and reflects light emitted from the first main surface 32 b of the light guide plate 32. Thereby, the utilization efficiency of the light radiate | emitted from the 1st main surface 32b of the light-guide plate 32 can be improved. It is not essential that the surface of the cover 20 has light reflectivity.

  The surface of the cover 20 includes an inclined surface 21. At least a part of the inclined surface 21 is located between the power supply device 50 and the light guide plate 32. The portion of the inclined surface 21 located closer to the light guide plate 32 has a lower height from the base portion 41. Thereby, since the exposed area of the first main surface 32b of the light guide plate 32 is increased as compared with the case where the cover 20 is not inclined, the utilization efficiency of the light emitted from the first main surface 32b of the light guide plate 32 can be improved. it can.

  Further, the inclined surface 21 is curved. Thereby, the inclined surface 21 can reflect light more uniformly.

  The surface of the cover 20 includes a flat surface 22 that faces the first main surface 32b. Thereby, it becomes easy to arrange a cushion material or packing in the space S1 (shown in FIG. 6) between the flat surface 22 and the first main surface 32b. For example, if the cushion material is previously disposed in the space S1, it is possible to prevent the light guide plate 32 from being scratched when the cover 20 is attached.

[End cover]
The end cover 70 is an end cap that covers one end of the instrument body 40 in the longitudinal direction. The end cover 70 is formed of a resin material such as ASA (Acrylate Styrene Acrylonitrile) resin, but may be formed of a metal material. The end cover 70 is screwed to the base portion 41 of the instrument main body 40.

[Connecting member]
A connecting member 90 for connecting another lighting fixture to the end is attached to the other end in the longitudinal direction of the fixture body 40. FIG. 7 is an external perspective view of the connecting member 90. FIG.8 and FIG.9 is a figure for demonstrating connection with the lighting fixture 10 and another lighting fixture. 8 and 9, illustration of the cover 20 and the like is omitted to show the internal structure. 8 and 9, the other lighting fixture 10f has the same configuration as the lighting fixture 10, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The connecting member 90 is formed, for example, by bending a substantially long rectangular metal steel plate. The connecting member 90 is screwed to the inner surface of the instrument body 40. A part of the connecting member 90 in a state of being attached to the instrument main body 40 is located outside the end of the instrument main body 40 in the longitudinal direction. The outside here means the outside in the longitudinal direction, in other words, the other lighting fixture 10f side or the Y axis-side.

  Thus, when the connecting member 90 protrudes outward from the longitudinal end of the fixture body 40 and protrudes in the longitudinal direction, the connecting member 90 is connected to the fixture body 40 of the lighting fixture 10 and the other lighting fixture 10f. The contact portion with the instrument body 40f can be covered from the inside. Specifically, the connecting member 90 can cover the contact portion along the extending direction of the contact portion. In other words, the contact portion is a joint between the end face of the instrument body 40 and the end face of the instrument body 40f. Thereby, the leak light from the contact part of the end surface of the instrument main body 40 and the end surface of the instrument main body 40f is suppressed.
