Description

  The present invention relates to an LED illumination device used as a so-called downlight attached to a ceiling, for example.

  FIG. 24 shows an example of a conventional LED lighting device. The LED illumination device X shown in the figure is used as a downlight attached to the ceiling Ce. In the LED lighting device X, a plurality of LED modules 93 are attached to a case 92. The light from the LED module 93 is irradiated toward, for example, the indoor floor after the directivity is increased to some extent by the reflector 91. The case 92 accommodates a power supply unit 94. The power supply unit 94 converts, for example, commercial AC 100V power into DC 24V power and supplies the converted power to the LED module 93.

  The LED lighting device X has a configuration in which a case 92 that houses a power supply unit 94 projects to the opposite side to the irradiation direction. For this reason, in order to attach the LED lighting device X to the ceiling Ce, it is necessary to provide an opening Op in the ceiling Ce, which is troublesome. Further, once the opening Op is provided, it is very difficult to shift the position even if it is determined that the mounting position of the LED lighting device X is not appropriate. Or even if it is a suitable position for attaching LED lighting apparatus X, if there is a solid beam inside the ceiling Ce, the opening Op cannot be provided. For this reason, the LED illumination device X must be installed at the next best position.

An LED chip 31 is mounted on the surface of the substrate 33. A pair of mounting terminals 34 is formed on the back surface of the substrate 33. The thickness of the substrate 33 is about 0.08 to 0.1 mm. The LED chip 31 is a light source of the LED module 3 and can emit visible light, for example. The resin package 32 is for protecting the LED chip 31. The resin package 32 is made of, for example, an epoxy resin having translucency with respect to the light from the LED chip 31, or a translucent resin including a fluorescent material that emits light of different wavelengths when excited by the light from the LED chip 31. It is molded using. For example, the LED module 3 can emit white light by mixing blue light from the LED chip 31 and yellow light from the fluorescent material contained in the resin package 32. As said fluorescent substance, it may replace with what emits yellow light, and may mix and use what emits red light, and what emits green light.

  In the present embodiment, 603 LED modules 3 are arranged in a staggered manner on the LED substrate 2. The power supply specification for causing the plurality of LED modules 3 to emit light is that the voltage Vf of each LED chip 31 is about 3.0 V and the current If is about 4.0 mA. When the plurality of LED modules 3 mounted at high density emit light, the eyes do not visually recognize the set of point light sources but perceive as surface emission. That is, the area where the plurality of LED modules 3 are mounted constitutes a planar light source unit.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 9, the LED substrate 2 is mounted on the mounting surface 12a of the back case 1B on the surface opposite to the surface on which the plurality of LED modules 3 are attached. As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of LED modules 3 face to the outside through the opening 11.

  The power supply unit 4 converts, for example, commercial AC 100V power into DC 24V power and supplies it to the plurality of LED modules 3. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, in the present embodiment, the power supply unit 4 includes a first unit 41 and a second unit 42.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the first unit 41 includes a first power supply board 411 and a plurality of electrical components 412. The first power supply substrate 411 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and is made of, for example, a glass epoxy resin. A cutout 411 a is formed in the power supply substrate 411. The plurality of electrical components 412 are components for realizing the function of the power supply unit 4. Of the plurality of electrical components 412, the electrical component 412A is a capacitor and has a main body 412Aa and a lead 412Ab. The main body 412Aa has an elongated cylindrical shape. The lead 412Ab protrudes from the main body 412Aa. In the present embodiment, the main body 412Aa is mounted such that its longitudinal direction is parallel to the first power supply substrate 411, and a part thereof is accommodated in the notch 411a. As shown in FIG. 3, the lead 412Ab is bent at a substantially right angle, and the tip thereof is soldered to the first power supply substrate 411, for example. The electrical component 412A is an example of an elongated electrical component referred to in the present invention. Moreover, the electrical component 412B shown in FIG. 14 is a surge absorber and functions to protect the other electrical components 412 and 422 from an excessive voltage.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the second unit 42 includes a second power supply board 421 and a plurality of electrical components 422. Second power supply substrate 421 has a substantially pentagonal shape in plan view, and is made of, for example, a glass epoxy resin. Among the plurality of electrical components 422, the electrical component 422A is a coil, the electrical component 422B is a power MOSFET used for switching purposes, and the electrical component 422C is a driver IC for driving the LED module 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 8, the first unit 41 and the second unit 42 are arranged on opposite sides in the diagonal direction of the case 1 with the plurality of LED modules 3 (mounting bases 12) interposed therebetween. Yes. The first unit 41 is accommodated in the first power supply accommodating portion 131, and the second unit 42 is accommodated in the second power supply accommodating portion 132.

  The transmission plate 5 is made of a translucent or transparent glass plate, and transmits light from the LED module 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission plate 5 is provided between the opening 11 and the LED substrate 2.

  Next, the operation of the LED lighting device A1 will be described.

  According to the present embodiment, the power supply unit 4 is arranged side by side in the in-plane direction of the LED substrate 2 with respect to the plurality of LED modules 3. For this reason, the LED illumination device A1 has a very flat outer shape with a thickness of about 16 mm, while the shape in plan view is about 98 mm square. As shown in FIG. 3, the LED lighting device A1 can be attached without providing an opening or the like on the ceiling Ce. Therefore, the LED lighting device A1 can be easily attached. Moreover, when the position of LED lighting apparatus A1 once attached is not appropriate, it can be easily moved to a suitable position.

  By configuring the power supply unit 4 with the first unit 41 and the second unit 42, the power supply unit 4 can be disposed relatively compactly in plan view with the plurality of LED modules 3 interposed therebetween. This is advantageous for reducing the size of the LED lighting device A1.

  By arranging the elongated electrical component 412A in parallel to the first power supply substrate 411, the LED lighting device A1 can be thinned. By accommodating a part of the electrical component 412A in the notch 411a of the first power supply board 411, the downsizing of the LED lighting device A1 can be further promoted.

  Heat generated from the plurality of LED modules 3 is quickly transmitted to the mounting table 12 having the mounting surface 12a. Thereby, it can avoid that the some LED module 3 deteriorates by high temperature. The back slit 14 of the back case 1B is suitable for dissipating the heat transmitted to the mounting table 12 to the outside air. In particular, when the LED lighting device A1 is attached to the ceiling Ce, the back slit 14 functions to introduce outside air between the ceiling Ce and the back case 1B. This is preferable for promoting heat dissipation.

  The back slit 14 is provided at a position that does not overlap with the power supply accommodating portion 4. As a result, the power supply unit 4 does not overlap with the relatively thick portion of the back case 1B where the back slit 14 is provided. This is suitable for reducing the thickness of the LED lighting device A1.

  FIGS. 15-23 has shown the LED lighting apparatus based on 2nd Embodiment of this invention. As shown in FIGS. 15, 16, and 21, the LED lighting device A <b> 2 of the present embodiment is different from the embodiment described above in that the inner slit 15 and the back slit 14 are provided. Is different. In these drawings, the same or similar elements as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the above embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 15, an internal slit 15 is formed in the case 1. The internal slit 15 is formed so as to extend from the side surface of the case 1 toward the inside. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 19, the front case 1A is formed with a half slit 15A. The half slit 15A is provided at a position avoiding the opening 11, the first power supply receiving recess 131A, and the second power supply receiving recess 132A, and is formed by being divided on both sides in the diagonal direction of the front case 1A across the opening 11. ing. Each half slit 15A has a width of about 2.5 mm and a depth of about 4.6 mm. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 20, a half slit 15B is formed in the back case 1B. The half slit 15B is provided at a position avoiding the mounting base 12, the first power supply accommodating recess 131B, and the second power supply accommodating recess 132B, and is divided into both sides in the diagonal direction of the back case 1B across the mounting base 12. Is formed. Each half slit 15B has a width of about 2.5 mm and a depth of about 5 mm.

  As understood from FIGS. 15, 16, 19, and 20, when the front case 1A and the back case 1B are combined, the half slit 15A and the half slit 15B just overlap in plan view. Thereby, the internal slit 15 is comprised by the half slit 15A and the half slit 15B.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the present embodiment, the back slit 14 is also formed in a portion corresponding to the back side of the mounting table 12. All the back slits 14 are formed to extend in the diagonal direction of the back case 1B.

  Also according to this embodiment, it is possible to attach the LED lighting device A2 without providing an opening or the like on the ceiling Ce, and the attaching operation is easy. Moreover, when the position of LED lighting apparatus A2 once attached is not appropriate, it can be easily moved to a suitable position.

  Further, by providing the internal slit 15, heat dissipation to the outside air can be further promoted. The internal slit 15 is provided at a position that does not overlap the mounting table 12 and the power supply unit 4. Thereby, it is possible to avoid the LED lighting device A2 from becoming thick while promoting heat dissipation. By providing the back slit 14 on the back side of the mounting table 12, it can be expected that the heat transmitted to the mounting table 12 is further dissipated.

  FIG. 24 shows an LED lighting device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The LED lighting device A3 of this embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in that two connector housings 133 are formed in the case 1 as shown in FIGS.

  The shape of the front case 1A viewed from the direction shown in FIG. 25 is the same as that of the front case 1 of the above-described embodiment. As shown in FIG. 26, two connector housing recesses 133A are formed in the front case 1A. The connector receiving recess 133A has a plan view dimension such that the connector 43 shown in FIG. The two connector housing recesses 133A are arranged along two sides connected to the same corner of the front case 1A, and are close to the corner.

  As shown in FIG. 27, two connector housing recesses 133B are formed in the back case 1B. The connector receiving recess 133B has a dimension in plan view such that the connector 43 shown in FIG. The two connector housing recesses 133B are arranged along two sides connected to the same corner of the back case 1B and are close to the corner.

  Each housing recess 133A and each housing recess 133B are combined with each other to form each connector housing 133. As shown in FIG. 24, a cable opening 16 is formed in the case 1. The cable opening 16 exposes the two connector recesses 133 and secures access for connecting the cable Cb from the outside to the connector 43.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the arrangement of the LED substrate 2 and the power supply unit 4 is the same as the configuration shown in FIG. The connectors 43 are accommodated in the two connector accommodating recesses 133B (connector accommodating portions 133), respectively. A cable 44 is connected to each connector 43. The cable 44 is connected to the power supply unit 4.

  Also according to this embodiment, it is possible to attach the LED lighting device A3 without providing an opening or the like in the ceiling Ce, and the attaching operation is easy. Moreover, it is possible to insert the cable Cb from the side of the LED lighting device A3. For this reason, it is possible to run the cable Cb along the ceiling Ce, and it is not necessary to provide a hole in the ceiling Ce for passing the cable Ce.

  FIG. 30 shows a modification of the LED lighting devices A1 to A3. In this modification, the cover 51 which accommodates LED lighting apparatus A1-A3 is further provided. The cover 51 is formed with a circular opening 51a through which light from the LED chip 2 passes. The cover 51 has a rectangular shape in plan view as a whole, and has a relatively thin box shape. The upper end edge of the cover 51 is in contact with the ceiling Ce or is directly opposed with a very small gap. The cover 51 has a flat surface portion in which the opening 51a is formed and four slope portions surrounding the flat surface portion. The angle formed by the outer surface of the slope portion and the ceiling Ce is an obtuse angle, and is about 135 degrees in the present embodiment. According to such a modification, even if the rear slit 14 or the like that promotes the heat dissipation effect is formed, it does not appear on the appearance. Therefore, the appearance of the ceiling Ce can give a smarter impression.

  31 and 32 show other modified examples of the LED lighting devices A1 to A3. In this modification, a cover 51 and a metal fitting 52 that accommodate the LED lighting devices A1 to A3 are further provided. The cover 51 is formed with a circular opening 51a through which light from the LED chip 2 passes. Further, the cover 51 has an embedded portion 51b and a frame portion 51c. The embedded part 51b accommodates the LED lighting devices A1 to A3 and is embedded in the back of the ceiling Ce. The frame portion 51c has a rectangular ring shape in plan view and is connected to the peripheral edge of the embedded portion 15b. The frame portion 51c is engaged with the ceiling Ce. The metal fitting 52 is formed by bending a band-shaped metal plate, and prevents the cover 51 from coming off from the ceiling surface Ce.

  The LED lighting devices A1 to A3 are relatively thin as described above. For this reason, the magnitude | size of the part embed | buried under the ceiling Ce is remarkably small compared with the conventional downlight. For this reason, the accommodation space which should be ensured in the back of the ceiling Ce is small. Thereby, even if it is a building of the same height, the height from a floor surface (not shown) to the ceiling Ce can be made higher.

  FIG. 33 shows another modification of the LED lighting devices A1 to A3. This modification differs from the above-described modification in that a reflector 51d is provided on the cover 51. The reflector 51d has a parabolic shape and enhances the directivity of light from the plurality of LED chips 2. Further, a transmission plate 53 is disposed between the reflector 51d and the LED lighting devices A1 to A3. The transmission plate 53 is made of acrylic resin, for example.

  According to such a modification, it is possible to emit light with higher directivity, and it is possible to intensively illuminate a narrower region such as a floor surface. Although the reflector 51d is provided, the height is still significantly lower than the conventional downlight. For this reason, the accommodation space which should be ensured in the back of the ceiling Ce is small.

  FIG. 34 shows an LED lighting device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The LED lighting device A4 of this embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in that it has a circular shape in plan view. As shown in FIGS. 35 to 38, the front case 1A and the back case 1B are also circular in plan view. In the present embodiment, the first power supply accommodating portion 131 and the second power supply accommodating portion 132 are oriented so that their positions in the circumferential direction of the case 1 are shifted by approximately 90 degrees. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 39, the connector accommodating part 133 accommodates the two connectors 43 in parallel.

  Also according to this embodiment, it is possible to attach the LED lighting device A3 without providing an opening or the like in the ceiling Ce, and the attaching operation is easy. Moreover, it is possible to insert the cable Cb from the side of the LED lighting device A3. For this reason, it is possible to run the cable Cb along the ceiling Ce, and it is not necessary to provide a hole in the ceiling Ce for passing the cable Ce.
