Yes.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the end surface of the cooling body 11 on the substrate mounting piece 17 side is a substrate mounting surface 17A. The back surface of the LED substrate 12 manufactured as a single substrate is attached to the substrate attachment surface 17A. A plurality of LEDs 9 are attached to the LED substrate 12 so as to be arranged in a ring shape. A reflector 13 is provided below the LED substrate 12, and a cover glass 15 is provided below the reflector 13.

3 and 4, the reflector 13 includes a cylindrical reflection portion 25 whose one end opening is closed by a bottom surface portion 24, and a columnar columnar reflection portion 27. The reflection surface 30 is provided for each LED 9. Have.
The columnar reflecting portion 27 is disposed coaxially with the cylindrical reflecting portion 25 so as to be surrounded by the cylindrical reflecting portion 25, and is integrated with the bottom surface portion 24.
As a result, an annular recess 29 is formed in the reflector 13. The opening of the recess 29 constitutes the emission opening 31 of the light source unit 3.
The inner reflection surface 26 is continuously provided in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical reflection portion 25 by the number of LEDs 9. On the outer peripheral surface of the columnar reflecting portion 27, the outer reflecting surfaces 28 are continuously provided in the circumferential direction by the number of the LEDs 9. Each of the reflection surfaces 30 is constituted by an inner reflection surface 26 and an outer reflection surface 28 facing each other, and the plurality of reflection surfaces 30 are continuously arranged in the circumferential direction.
The reflector 13 is coaxially provided in the case body 5 with the emission opening 31 facing the same direction as the opening of the case body 5. At this time, it arrange | positions in the position where the optical axis of several LED9 arranged in cyclic | annular arrangement | sequence in the output opening 31 passes.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, on the bottom surface portion 24 of the reflector 13, a passage hole 33 through which the light of the LED 9 passes through the recess 29 is formed at a position facing each LED 9. As will be described later, the light of the LED 9 has a component directed to the emission opening 31 after being reflected by the reflection surface 30 and a component directed directly to the emission opening 31.

Further, the protective cover 16 is attached to the central portion of the cover glass 15 so as to face the columnar reflecting portion 27 through the cover glass 15.
A cylindrical cap 34 that supports the cover glass 15 is fitted on the opening side of the case body 5.

The cap 34 is fitted into the case body 5, and the cover glass 15 covers the emission opening 31.

By the way, as shown in FIG.2 and FIG.4, the flow path 41 for flowing refrigerant | coolants, such as cooling water, is formed in the inside of the cooling body 11 arrange | positioned at the back surface of the LED board 12. FIG. That is, a groove 17B is formed on the back side of the board mounting piece 17, and the flow path 41 is formed by covering the groove 17B with the water supply / drainage piece 19.
Further, the water supply / drainage piece 19 is provided with a pair of inlet / outlet ports 43, 45 that project through the bottom of the case body 5.

A terminal block 23 for supplying power to the LED 9 is attached to the water supply / drainage piece 19 and protrudes from the bottom of the case body 5. The terminal block 23 is electrically connected to each LED 9 so that lighting of the LED 9 can be controlled from the outside.

Next, details of the reflecting surface 30 will be described.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line VV in FIG. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the main part of FIG.
4 and 5, the main area including the emission opening 31 is the elliptical reflecting mirror part 30A among the cylindrical reflecting part 25 and the columnar reflecting part 27, and the remaining area disposed on the LED 9 side is the free space. The object reflecting mirror unit 30B is used.
The reflecting surface 30 includes an ellipsoidal reflecting surface 35 located in the region of the ellipsoidal reflecting mirror portion 30A, and a parabolic reflecting surface 37 that is connected to the ellipsoidal reflecting surface 35 and located in the region of the parabolic reflecting mirror portion 30B. Yes.
The plurality of reflecting surfaces 30 have an elliptical reflecting surface 35 in parallel with each other, and as shown by a broken line in FIG. Are listed. The overlapping reflecting surface 30 is omitted, and the reflecting surface 30 is constituted by the inner reflecting surface 26 and the outer reflecting surface 28 as described above.

The reflecting surface 30 also has an opening at the end on the parabolic reflecting mirror portion 30 </ b> B side, and this opening is an incident opening 32 that continues to the edge of the passage hole 33.
As shown in FIG. 5, the major axis direction of the ellipsoidal reflecting surface 35 coincides with the direction of the optical axis K of the LED 9, and the ellipsoidal reflecting surface 35 has one focal point F1 out of the pair of focal points F1 and F2. Is emitted to the other focal point F2. Further, the exit opening 31 located at the end of the elliptical reflecting surface 35 is located within the range between the focal point F1 and the focal point F2. The ellipsoidal reflecting surface 35 of this embodiment is not a perfect ellipse, but is a shape in which half of the ellipsoidal reflecting surface surrounding the focal point F1 and the focal point F2 is located on the focal point F2 side. Thereby, the exit opening 31 is formed in an intermediate portion that bisects the focal point F1 and the focal point F2.
Therefore, the elliptical reflecting surface 35 has an opening shape from the boundary with the parabolic reflecting surface 37 toward the emission opening 31. That is, the diameter D3 of the emission opening 31 is larger than the diameter D2 of the opening 38 of the parabolic reflection surface 37 at the boundary between the parabolic reflection surface 37 and the elliptical reflection surface 35.

By the way, the ellipsoidal reflecting surface 35 is designed so that the LED 9 is regarded as a point light source and the light from the point light source is condensed for convenience. That is, the light emitting point of the LED 9 is considered to be at the center of the irradiation surface, and the LED 9 is arranged so that the center of the irradiation surface of the LED 9 coincides with the focal point F1 of the elliptical reflection surface 35.
However, each LED 9 actually has a diameter D1 instead of a light emitting surface 9A.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a part of the optical path when the entire area of the reflecting surface 30 is constituted by the elliptical reflecting surface 35.
As shown in FIG. 7, when all of the reflection surface 30 is configured by the elliptical reflection surface 35, the light L <b> 2 and L <b> 3 emitted from the position away from the focal point F <b> 1 on the light emission surface 9 </ b> A of the LED 9 is emitted a plurality of times. After being reflected on the elliptical reflecting surface 35, the light may be emitted from the emission opening 31. For example, the lights L2 and L3 reflected on the reflecting surface 30 for the first time do not go to the focal point F2, but are reflected again at the portion of the reflecting surface 30 located further on the exit opening 31 side than the reflected position, and thus the exit opening. 31 is emitted. When the light L2 and L3 of the LED 9 is emitted from the emission opening 31 through such an optical path, a component of light emitted from the emission opening 31 with a large angle α with respect to the optical axis K may be generated. is there. In this case, the outline of the emitted light is blurred, and the light quantity of the emitted light is reduced due to loss due to multiple reflections. Lights L1 and L2 emitted from the light emitting surface 9A of the LED 9 shifted from the focal point F1 are likely to be reflected a plurality of times, particularly when reflected by the elliptical reflecting surface 35 in the vicinity of the LED 9.

Therefore, in the light source unit 3 of the present embodiment, one end side of the elliptical reflection surface 35 is replaced with a parabolic reflection surface 37.
An optical path of light emitted from each LED 9 in the light source unit 3 having the reflection surface 30 as described above will be described.
FIG. 8 is a principal cross-sectional view for explaining the optical path of light emitted from each LED 9 of the light source unit 3, and shows a cross section orthogonal to the direction in which the LEDs 9 are arranged.
In FIG. 8, the light of each LED 9 is reflected by the parabolic reflection surface 37 and emitted from the emission opening 31, and the light O2 reflected by the elliptical reflection surface 35 and emitted from the emission opening 31. And a component of light O3 emitted directly from the emission opening 31.
The parabolic reflection surface 37 turns the reflected light into parallel light that is directed in a direction parallel to the optical axis K. Since the diameter D3 of the emission opening 31 is larger than the diameter D2 of the opening 38 of the parabolic reflection surface 37 at the boundary between the parabolic reflection surface 37 and the elliptical reflection surface 35, the light O1 reflected by the parabolic reflection surface 37 is The light is emitted from the emission opening 31 without being reflected by the elliptical reflecting surface 35.
The light O3 has a divergence angle determined by the diameter D3 of the emission opening 31, but the divergence angle is small because the distance from the LED 9 to the emission opening 31 is long. In addition, the divergence angle here is about the radial direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of LED9.

Further, the light O2 is reflected by the elliptical reflecting surface 35 and then travels toward the focal point F2 with a gentle angle with respect to the optical axis K. Moreover, since the elliptical reflecting surface 35 and the parabolic reflecting surface 37 are omitted with respect to the direction in which the reflecting surfaces 30 are arranged, the light directed from each LED 9 in the direction in which the reflecting surfaces 30 are arranged travels while spreading.
Here, the irradiation apparatus 1 exposes (irradiates) the light from the light source unit 3 to the exposure target S placed at a predetermined distance G from the emission opening 31 in front of the emission opening 31, for example.
The light (O1, O2, O3) of each LED 9 reaches the exposure target S without spreading greatly in the width direction of the light orthogonal to the direction in which the reflecting surfaces 30 are arranged. Is prevented from blurring. Further, the end portion on the LED 9 side of the ellipsoidal reflecting surface 35 is a parabolic reflecting surface 37, so that the light emitting surface 9A of the LED 9 is emitted from the vicinity of the light emitting surface 9A due to the size of the diameter D1. Compared with the single ellipsoidal reflecting surface 35, the light component that causes a plurality of reflections can be suppressed between the openings 31. Therefore, loss due to light reflection is avoided, and a large amount of light is irradiated onto the exposure target S.

By the way, in this embodiment, the focal point F3 of the parabolic reflecting surface 37 is set at a position different from the focal point F1 of the elliptical reflecting surface 35.
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the focal point F1 of the elliptical reflecting surface 35 and the focal point F3 of the parabolic reflecting surface 37, and the elliptical reflecting surface 35 and the parabolic reflecting surface 37 extend to positions surrounding the respective focal points F1 and F3. This state is virtually illustrated.
In FIG. 9, the focal point F <b> 3 of the parabolic reflection surface is set at the center on the back side of the light emitting surface 9 </ b> A of the LED 9 that is directed to the emission opening 31. That is, the focal point F3 of the parabolic reflecting surface 37 is designed to be set at a point shifted in the direction away from the focal point F1 along the long axis of the elliptical reflecting surface 35.

Here, the reason why the focal point F1 of the elliptical reflecting surface 35 and the focal point F3 of the parabolic reflecting surface 37 are set at different positions is as follows.
In order to use the light of the LED 9 effectively, the opening of the passage hole 33 needs to secure substantially the same area as the light emitting surface 9 </ b> A of the LED 9.
The passage hole 33 is continuous with the end portion of the parabolic reflection surface 37 located on the bottom surface portion 24 side of the reflector 13. For this reason, the size of the opening of the passage hole 33 is the same as the inner diameter of the end portion of the parabolic reflection surface 37 on the bottom surface portion 24 side.
When the focal point F3 of the parabolic reflecting surface 37 is set to be the same as the focal point F1 of the elliptical reflecting surface 35, the inner diameter of the parabolic reflecting surface 37 in the bottom surface 24 is small, and the opening of the passage hole 33 is formed on the light emitting surface 9A of the LED 9. It cannot be enlarged to the corresponding area. Therefore, the focal point F3 of the parabolic reflecting surface 37 is shifted in the direction away from the emission opening 31 with respect to the focal point F1 set at the center of the light emitting surface 9A of the LED 9. Thereby, the internal diameter of the parabolic reflection surface 37 in the bottom face part 24 can be taken large. That is, the opening of the passage hole 33 can be expanded to a size corresponding to the area of the light emitting surface 9A of the LED 9.

Next, the illuminance distribution of the light emitted from the light source unit 3 will be described.
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an illuminance distribution when one LED 9 is turned on in the light source unit 3. FIG. 10 shows the illuminance distribution when the black LED 9 is turned on and the other LEDs 9 are turned off as shown in FIG. 6, for example.
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the illuminance distribution of light emitted from the light source unit 3, and FIG. 11A corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along the line XI-XI in FIG. FIG. 11B shows the illuminance distribution along the alignment direction of the LEDs 9 on the irradiation surface of the exposure target S together with the positional relationship with the LEDs 9. In FIG. 11, for convenience of explanation, one of the reflective surfaces 30 arranged in the circumferential direction is virtually illustrated by a solid line including an overlapping portion with the adjacent reflective surface 30, and is adjacent to the reflective surface 30. The reflecting surface 30 is virtually illustrated by a broken line. In FIG. 11A, both ends of the reflecting surface 30, the part X where the overlapping of the adjacent reflecting surfaces 30 is started, and the boundary Y between the ellipsoidal reflecting mirror portion 30A and the parabolic reflecting mirror portion 30B are shown. The opening shape of the cross section of the reflective surface 30 is also shown.
FIG. 12 is an illuminance distribution diagram of light emitted from the light source unit 3.

In FIG. 10, when one LED 9 is turned on, the light emitted from the emission opening 31 irradiates the irradiation area EA in a predetermined range extending in the direction in which the LEDs 9 are arranged, in other words, in the circumferential direction. In this case, the illuminance is highest in the irradiation area EB at the center of the irradiation area EA. This irradiation area EB is located in front of the emission opening 31 and is an area centered on the optical axis K of the lit LED 9. Further, the illuminance decreases as it goes to both ends in the circumferential direction of the irradiation area EA.
Here, as shown in FIG. 11A, the opening 38 (diameter D4) of the reflecting surface 30 and the incident opening 32 are adjacent to each other at the portion X where the overlapping of the adjacent reflecting surfaces 30 is started. The reflective surface 30 is separated. On the other hand, in the remaining main region where the adjacent reflecting surfaces 30 overlap, as described above, the overlapping reflecting surface 30 region is omitted, and the inner reflecting surface 26 and the outer reflecting surface 28 constituting the reflecting surface 30 are omitted. Are linked in a ring.
Thereby, the light of LED9 has the component radiate | emitted not only from the radiation | emission opening 31 located ahead of the lighted LED9 but from both sides of the radiation | emission opening 31 located ahead. Therefore, the irradiation area when one LED 9 is lit extends in the circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 10, and the illuminance distribution T1 is the circumferential direction from the optical axis K as shown in FIG. The illuminance decreases with increasing distance to both sides.

Next, the illuminance distribution when all the LEDs 9 are turned on will be described.
When all the LEDs 9 are turned on, as shown in FIG. 11B, high illuminance corresponding to the irradiation region EB appears in the direction in which the LEDs 9 are arranged at the same interval as the arrangement interval of the LEDs 9. Moreover, the light of adjacent LED9 is radiate | emitted from the radiation | emission opening 31 by making the both sides of the irradiation area | region EB of each LED9 overlap.
The uniformity (= minimum illuminance / maximum illuminance) in the illuminance distribution T2 of the annular light totaling these is compensated for the illuminance of the irradiation area located between the irradiation areas EB with high illuminance, and therefore the entire area in the circumferential direction. Can be maintained at a large value. In addition, as described above, the light from each LED 9 is suppressed by the reflecting surface 30 from spreading in the width direction W (radial direction) orthogonal to the extending direction of the light extending in a ring shape. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 12, in the annular irradiation area EC formed by the light source unit 3, the blurring of the contours on both sides in the light width direction W is suppressed.

According to the light source unit 3 according to this embodiment, the elliptical reflecting surfaces 35 are arranged side by side so as to overlap each other, so that each light of the light emitting elements arranged in the direction in which the elliptical reflecting surfaces 35 are arranged also overlaps. It is a series. Thereby, the illumination nonuniformity of the light extended in the arrangement direction of LED9 is suppressed. Furthermore, since one end portion of the elliptical reflecting surface 35 is a parabolic reflecting surface 37, light that causes a plurality of reflections from the vicinity of the light emitting surface 9A to the exit opening 31 due to the size of the light emitting surface 9A of the LED 9 Can be suppressed. For this reason, the blur of the outline of the width direction orthogonal to the light extending direction of the LED 9 can be sufficiently suppressed.
Furthermore, since the component of the light emitted after being reflected a plurality of times can be suppressed, loss due to the reflection a plurality of times can be suppressed, and the light amount of the emitted light can also be suppressed from decreasing.

  Further, since the focal point F3 of the parabolic reflecting surface 37 is shifted in the direction away from the focal point F1 along the long axis of the elliptical reflecting surface 35, the opening diameter of the parabolic reflecting surface 37 for entering the light from the LED 9 is changed. The size can be expanded to about the size of the diameter D1 of the light emitting surface 9A of the LED 9. For this reason, the light of LED9 can be utilized effectively.

  Moreover, since the cooling body 11 through which the refrigerant flows is provided on the back side of the LED substrate 12 on which the plurality of LEDs 9 are mounted, the plurality of LEDs 9 can be cooled easily and effectively.

The above-described embodiment is merely an example of one aspect of the present invention, and can be arbitrarily modified and applied without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in the embodiment described above, the LEDs 9 are arranged in a ring shape to create a ring-shaped light, but light that extends in a straight line with a predetermined width or light that extends in a curved line with a predetermined width is created. Also good.
Moreover, although LED4 was illustrated as an example of a light emitting element, it is not restricted to this, Other light emitting elements, such as organic EL, may be sufficient.
Moreover, although demonstrated as what is LED4 and ultraviolet LED which radiate | emits an ultraviolet-ray, you may use what radiate | emits a different kind of light according to the use of the light source unit 3 irrespective of what emits an ultraviolet-ray.
Further, the cover glass 15 is described as being provided so as to cover the emission opening 31, but an optical member that diffuses the light incident in the direction in which the LEDs 9 are arranged may be disposed. For example, a light shaping filter having a plurality of elliptical lenses that are arranged in the direction in which the light emitted from the emission openings 31 extends in the short axis direction in the direction in which the LEDs 9 are arranged may be provided so as to cover the emission openings 31. . Since the incident light to the light shaping filter is diffused and emitted in the direction in which the LEDs 9 are arranged, it is possible to further reduce the illuminance unevenness of the light while suppressing the blurring of the light outline.
