Each of the light emitting elements 32 is composed of, for example, an LED. Further, as the light emitting element 32, a solid light emitting element such as an organic EL element can be applied. The calorific value of the first substrate 17 occupies approximately 80% to 90% of the calorific value of the entire lighting fixture 11.

  The second substrate (printed circuit board) 18 includes a plurality of circuit components 33 and circuits for lighting the plurality of light emitting elements 32. As shown in FIG. 4, the second substrate 18 is supported at a position separated from the main body portion 12 (floating position) by the support portion 21. The second substrate 18 is supported at a position separated from a later-described partition plate 36. The second substrate 18 is connected to a power supply external to 12. In addition, the second substrate 18 is connected to the sensor 25, and when light from the outside is detected through the sensor 25 in the daytime (for example, when the illuminance of the outside is above a certain threshold value), the light emitting element. 32 is turned off. In addition, the second substrate 18 turns on the light emitting element 32 at night when the external light cannot be detected by the sensor 25 (for example, when the external illumination is below a certain threshold). The calorific value of the second substrate 18 accounts for approximately 10% to 20% of the calorific value of the entire lighting fixture 11.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the heat radiating plate 22 is formed in an oval plate shape from metal, for example, iron. The heat radiating plate 22 is thermally connected to the main body portion 12 via a rib 34 and an edge portion 39 which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 2, the lens 23 is integrally formed in a square plate shape with a translucent resin material. As shown in FIG. 4 and the like, the lens 23 has a plurality of concave portions 23A and a plurality of convex portions 23B at positions corresponding to the light emitting elements 32, and guides light from the light emitting elements 32 to a desired angle. The light distribution of the luminaire 11 is controlled.

  As shown in FIG. 4 etc., the main-body part 12 is shape | molded in the stepped box shape with the metal, for example, aluminum die-casting. As shown in FIG. 6, the main body portion 12 has a plurality of ribs 34 on both side surfaces at positions corresponding to first portions 14 </ b> A (described later) of the internal space 14. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, each of the plurality of ribs 34 protrudes from the inner surface of the main body 12 and is in contact with one surface of the heat radiating plate 22. The main body portion 12 suppresses an extreme increase in weight of the main body portion 12 while increasing the contact area with the heat radiating plate 22 by the ribs 34 to ensure good thermal conductivity. As shown in FIG. 4, the first substrate 17 is thermally connected to 12 via the heat radiating plate 22 and the ribs 34.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cover 13 is formed in a hemispherical shape from a translucent resin material. The cover 13 is fixed to the main body 12 by a fixing member such as a screw 35. As shown in FIG. 4, the internal space 14 includes a first portion 14 </ b> A in which the first substrate 17 and the heat sink 22 are provided, and a second portion 14 </ b> B in which the second substrate 18 is provided. It is out.

  The support portion 21 includes a partition plate 36 that partitions the internal space 14 into a first portion 14A and a second portion 14B, and a locking support 37 for fixing the second substrate 18 to the partition plate 36. Yes. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the partition plate 36 is provided at a position between the first substrate 17 and the second substrate 18, and a total of four bosses 38 protruding from the main body portion 12 are provided. On the other hand, it is fixed with a second screw 41 or the like. The partition plate 36 is formed in a square plate shape by using, for example, a synthetic resin material, and fixedly supports the second substrate 18. The partition plate 36 not only partitions the internal space into the first portion 14A and the second portion 14B, but also insulates the second substrate 18 from 12 to prevent a failure of the second substrate 18 caused by a lightning strike or the like. It also plays a role to prevent.

  The locking support 37 is formed of a resin material such as nylon. The locking support 37 has a pair of return portions 37A, and the second substrate 18 can be sandwiched and held between the return portions 37A. The second substrate 18 is fixedly held in the second portion 14 </ b> B of the internal space 14 by the partition plate 36 and the locking support 37. As described above, the lighting fixture 11 of the present embodiment employs a structure in which the second substrate 18 is thermally isolated as much as possible from heat-generating components such as the light emitting element 32.

  Then, with reference to FIG. 5, the thermal radiation path | route of the lighting fixture of this embodiment is demonstrated. When power is supplied from the second substrate 18 to the light emitting element 32, the light emitting element 32 emits light and heat is generated in the light emitting element 32. The heat generated in the light emitting element 32 is mainly transmitted to the heat radiating plate 22, and is transmitted from the heat radiating plate 22 to the main body 12 side through, for example, the rib 34 and the edge 39 of the main body 12. The heat from the light emitting element 32 is mainly emitted toward the outside from the part of the main body 12 corresponding to the first part 14A. For this reason, the heat from the light emitting element 32 is hardly transmitted to the second substrate 18 side. On the other hand, the heat generated from the second substrate 18 is transmitted to the main body 12 through the air in the internal space 14 (second portion 14B). At this time, heat from the second substrate 18 is released toward the outside from a portion of the main body 12 corresponding to the second portion 14B. For this reason, the structure is such that heat from the second substrate 18 is not easily transmitted to the light emitting element 32 side.

  According to the first embodiment, the luminaire 11 includes a main body 12 having an internal space 14, and a plurality of light emitting elements 32 provided on one surface 31 </ b> A, and is thermally connected to the main body 12 to provide an internal space. 14, a first substrate 17 provided in the internal space 14, a second substrate 18 that lights the light emitting element 32, and a support unit that supports the second substrate 18 at a position separated from the main body 12. 21. According to this configuration, the heat from the first substrate 17 is positively transmitted to the main body 12 side, and can be hardly transmitted to the second substrate 18 side. Similarly, heat from the second substrate 18 becomes difficult to be transmitted to the main body portion 12, and the heat can be hardly transmitted to the first substrate 17 side through the main body portion 12. Thus, it is possible to prevent the first substrate 17 and the second substrate 18 from adversely affecting each other thermally.

  In addition, a heat radiating plate 22 is provided which is provided in close contact with the other surface 31B opposite to the one surface 31A of the first substrate 17 and is thermally connected to the main body portion 12. According to this configuration, the heat from the light emitting element 32 can be efficiently transmitted to the main body 12 side. As a result, the heat of the light emitting element 32 can be prevented from being transmitted to the second substrate 18 side, and the second substrate 18 can be prevented from causing thermal runaway or abnormal operation.

  The support unit 21 includes a partition plate 36, which is provided at a position between the first substrate 17 and the second substrate 18, and the internal space 14 is provided with the first substrate 17. 14A and the second portion 14B having the second substrate 18 are partitioned. According to this configuration, the internal space 14 can be divided into two parts by the partition plate 36, the heat transfer path from the light emitting element 32 to the main body 12, and the main body from the second substrate 18 through the air. The heat transfer path toward 12 can be separated from each other. This prevents the heat of the light emitting element 32 from being transmitted to the second substrate 18 side or the heat from the second substrate 18 to the first substrate 17 side as much as possible. Thermal separation between the substrate 17 and the second substrate 18 can be further improved.

  The luminaire 11 includes a plurality of ribs 34 that protrude from the inner surface of the main body 12 and come into contact with the heat sink 22. According to this configuration, the contact area between the heat radiating plate 22 and the main body 12 can be increased, and the conduction efficiency of heat from the heat radiating plate 22 toward the main body 12 can be improved. Thereby, the heat from the light emitting element 32 can be efficiently transmitted to the main body 12 side, and the heat dissipation of the heat from the light emitting element 32 can be improved. Moreover, the increase in the weight in the main-body part 12 can be minimized.

  In this case, the rib 34 is provided in the first portion 14A. According to this configuration, the heat transfer efficiency from the light emitting element 32 toward the main body portion 12 is improved by the ribs 34, and the heat from the light emitting elements 32 is transmitted through the ribs 34 in the second portion 14 </ b> B. 18 can be prevented from being transmitted.
