Description

  The present invention relates to a lamp.

  Development of LED lamps with high luminous flux that can replace HID (High Intensity Discharged) lamps (for example, mercury lamps) mounted on outdoor or indoor lighting fixtures (street lamp fixtures, street lamp fixtures, high ceiling fixtures, etc.) (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). This is due to requests from the viewpoints of energy saving, long life, and environmental resistance. When the LED light source is at a high temperature, the light emission efficiency is lowered and the lifetime is shortened. In order to increase the luminous efficiency of the LED light source and extend the lifetime, it is desirable to increase the heat dissipation from the LED light source and to lower the temperature of the LED light source as much as possible.

  Patent Document 1 below discloses a lamp in which a plurality of light emitting units are arranged around the central axis of a lamp with a back surface of a flat light emitting unit having a mounting substrate on which light emitting elements are mounted facing inward.

  Patent Document 2 below discloses a configuration in which each of a plurality of light emitting units arranged around a lamp central axis includes a reflector that reflects light emitted from an LED light source to the side.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a lamp according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. A lamp 1A according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a screw-type base 2, a base mounting portion 3, a plurality of light emitting units 4, a reflector 5, a proximal end support 6, and a distal end support. And a body 7. The lamp 1A of the present embodiment can be used as an alternative to a conventional HID lamp in indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures (for example, street lamp fixtures, street lamp fixtures, high ceiling fixtures, etc.). In the installed state, the lamp 1A can be used in any direction, such as the base 2 upward or diagonally upward, the base 2 downward or diagonally downward, and the base 2 laterally. In the following description, the base 2 side is referred to as a “base end side”, and the opposite side is referred to as a “tip end side”. In the present embodiment, the virtual straight line corresponding to the central axis of the base 2 corresponds to the “lamp central axis”.

  The base 2 is mounted on the base mounting portion 3. The base mounting portion 3 is preferably composed of a resin material having excellent heat resistance, a resin material having excellent heat dissipation, a metal material, or a combination thereof. The lamp 1 </ b> A of the present embodiment includes three light emitting units 4. Each light emitting unit 4 has the same configuration. Each light emitting unit 4 has a shape whose longitudinal direction is parallel to the lamp central axis. Each light emitting unit 4 is arranged with its light emitting surface (surface from which light is emitted) facing the lamp inner peripheral side. A space is provided between adjacent light emitting units 4. In the present embodiment, these light emitting units 4 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the lamp 1A. These light emitting units 4 are arranged at equal distances from the lamp central axis and at equal angular intervals (120 ° intervals in the illustrated configuration) around the lamp central axis.

  Each light emitting unit 4 has a heat sink 4a. The heat sink 4 a is located on the opposite side of the light emitting surface of the light emitting unit 4. The heat sink 4a faces the lamp outer peripheral side. The heat sink 4a is preferably made of a metal material (for example, aluminum, aluminum-based alloy, stainless steel, etc.).

  The reflector 5 has a plurality of reflecting surfaces 5a. Each reflecting surface 5a faces the lamp outer peripheral side. In the present embodiment, the reflector 5 has three reflecting surfaces 5a. Each reflecting surface 5a has the same configuration. In the present embodiment, these reflecting surfaces 5a are arranged at equal distances from the lamp center axis and at equal angular intervals (120 ° intervals in the configuration shown) around the lamp center axis.

  The reflector 5 in the present embodiment is a unit configured integrally so as to form a plurality of reflecting surfaces 5a. In the present embodiment, since the reflector 5 having the plurality of reflecting surfaces 5a is formed as an integral unit, the number of parts can be reduced and the assembly is facilitated. The material of the reflector 5 is not specifically limited, For example, a metal material, a plastic material, etc. can be used. From the viewpoint of improving the weather resistance, it is desirable that a coating layer such as a resin coat for protecting the surface of the reflector 5 is provided.

  The base mounting portion 3 is fixed to the base end side support 6 on the side opposite to the base 2. The base end side support 6 supports the base end portions of the light emitting unit 4 and the reflector 5. The front end support 7 supports the front ends of the light emitting unit 4 and the reflector 5. Power is supplied to each light emitting unit 4 via a power supply line (not shown) disposed on the base mounting portion 3 and the base end side support 6.

  The base end side support body 6 is a frame-shaped member. The schematic shape of the base end side support 6 is a polygonal shape having sides that linearly connect the base end portions of the adjacent light emitting units 4. The front end side support body 7 is a frame-shaped member. The schematic shape of the distal end support 7 is a polygonal shape having sides that linearly connect the distal ends of the adjacent light emitting units 4. The fixing method between the light emitting unit 4 and the reflector 5 and the base end side support body 6 and the front end side support body 7 is not particularly limited. For example, insertion, sliding, screwing, welding, brazing, adhesion, Any method such as fitting or a method of combining them may be used.

  It is desirable that the heat sink 4a of the light emitting unit 4 and at least one of the base end side support body 6 and the front end side support body 7 be connected so as to be able to conduct heat. Thereby, the temperature of the light emitting unit 4 can be further lowered by transferring the heat of the heat sink 4a to at least one of the base end side support body 6 and the front end side support body 7.

  At least one of the base end side support body 6 and the front end side support body 7 is preferably made of a metal material. By forming at least one of the base end side support body 6 and the front end side support body 7 with a metal material having high thermal conductivity, the heat of the light emitting unit 4 is at least of the base end side support body 6 and the front end side support body 7. It is efficiently transmitted to one side, and heat dissipation from at least one surface of the base end side support body 6 and the front end side support body 7 can be promoted. As a result, the temperature of the light emitting unit 4 can be further lowered.

  It is desirable that at least one of the base end side support body 6 and the front end side support body 7 and the reflector 5 are connected so as to be able to conduct heat. Thereby, the heat transmitted from the light emitting unit 4 to at least one of the base end side support body 6 and the front end side support body 7 can be further transmitted to the reflector 5. As a result, the temperature of the light emitting unit 4 can be further lowered. In this case, by configuring the reflector 5 with a material having a high thermal conductivity (for example, a metal material), heat dissipation from the surface of the reflector 5 can be promoted, and the temperature of the light emitting unit 4 can be further lowered.

  The reflector 5 in the present embodiment has a hollow portion 5b. The hollow portion 5b is located on the back side of the plurality of reflecting surfaces 5a. The hollow part 5b penetrates the inside of the reflector 5 in the direction of the lamp central axis. The hollow portion 5 b has openings at the distal end surface and the proximal end surface of the reflector 5. In the present embodiment, air can pass from one opening of the hollow portion 5b of the reflector 5 to the other opening. Thereby, the heat transmitted from the light emitting unit 4 to the reflector 5 through the base end support 6 or the tip support 7 can be efficiently dissipated from the surface of the reflector 5. As a result, the temperature of the light emitting unit 4 can be further lowered. You may form the fin (illustration omitted) which accelerates | stimulates heat dissipation in the internal peripheral surface of the reflector 5 which the hollow part 5b forms.

  The surface characteristics of the base mounting part 3, the heat sink 4a, the base end side support body 6, the front end side support body 7 and the like are desirably light diffusive and highly reflective. A coating film having light diffusibility and high reflectivity may be formed on these surfaces. Since these surfaces have light diffusibility and high reflectivity, the diffusion of light to the periphery of the lamp 1A can be improved, and a wide light distribution can be achieved.

  FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the light emitting unit 4 included in the lamp 1A shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the light emitting unit 4 includes an LED light source 4b (light emitting element), a light source substrate 4c, and a translucent cover 4d in addition to the heat sink 4a. The LED light source 4b is mounted on the surface side of the light source substrate 4c. Power is supplied to the LED light source 4b through the light source substrate 4c. In the present embodiment, a plurality of LED light sources 4b are arranged in two rows on the light source substrate 4c. The light source substrate 4c is preferably a substrate using a glass epoxy material substrate such as FR-4 or CEM-3 or a metal substrate such as aluminum.

  The schematic shape of the light emitting unit 4 of the present embodiment viewed from the direction perpendicular to the light source substrate 4c is an elongated rectangle. By increasing the length of the light emitting unit 4 in the longitudinal direction, an amount of the LED light source 4b corresponding to the required light beam can be mounted on the light emitting unit 4. For this reason, the lamp 1A is advantageous for increasing the luminous flux. In the present embodiment, as the LED light source 4b, for example, a 1 W to several W class surface mount type small LED package is used. The light-emitting element in the present invention is not limited to this, for example, a COB (Chip on Board) type LED light source having a large luminous flux of several thousand to several tens of thousands of lm / piece, a bullet type LED, an LED with a light distribution lens Etc. may be used. Note that the COB type LED light source has a configuration in which a plurality of LED bare chips are directly mounted on a heat-radiating substrate such as a metal substrate or a ceramic substrate and resin-sealed. Moreover, in this invention, you may use not only an LED light source but an organic EL light source etc. as a light emitting element, for example.

  The heat sink 4a is disposed on the back side of the light source substrate 4c. The heat sink 4 a includes a plate-like portion that overlaps the back side of the light source substrate 4 c and a plurality of plate-like fins that protrude from the plate-like portion and extend along the longitudinal direction of the light emitting unit 4. The heat sink 4a dissipates heat generated by the LED light source 4b to the air. The heat sink 4a is not limited to the illustrated configuration, and may be configured to have pin fins, for example.

  The translucent cover 4d has translucency and waterproof moisture resistance. The translucent cover 4d covers the entire light source substrate 4c and the LED light source 4b mounted thereon. The constituent material of the translucent cover 4d is desirably a material excellent in moisture resistance, water resistance, light resistance, earthquake resistance, and the like. Or you may provide those characteristics by giving a light-resistant coat or a water-resistant coat etc. to translucent cover 4d. As a specific example of a preferable constituent material of the translucent cover 4d, a polycarbonate material excellent in ease of molding and environmental resistance can be given. The joint between the translucent cover 4d and the heat sink 4a has a waterproof and moisture-proof structure. As such a configuration, for example, a mounting groove (not shown) in which the outer peripheral portion of the translucent cover 4d is fitted is formed in the heat sink 4a, and the periphery of the fitting portion is made of, for example, a silicone-based moisture-proof resin. The structure to coat is mentioned. In the lamp 1A of the present embodiment, the light source 4b and the light source substrate 4c can be reliably protected from the environment by providing the translucent cover 4d and ensuring the waterproof and moistureproof property of the mounting portion. For this reason, since the lamp | ramp 1A whole exhibits the outstanding environmental resistance, it can be preferably used also for the lighting fixture installed outdoors.

  The translucent cover 4d has a convex lens portion on the surface at a position facing each LED light source 4b. The light emitted from the LED light source 4b passes through the convex lens portion of the translucent cover 4d and is emitted from the light emitting unit 4. Compared to the beam angle of light directly emitted from the LED light source 4b, the beam angle of light passing through the convex lens portion of the translucent cover 4d becomes narrower. The convex lens part is an example of a narrow light distribution part having a function of narrowing the beam angle.

  In the present embodiment, an elongated light emitting portion formed by a row of LED light sources 4b arranged in the longitudinal direction of the light emitting unit 4 and a row of convex lens portions facing the light source cover 4d is defined as a first light emitting row 4f. Called. In addition, an elongated light-emitting portion formed by another row of LED light sources 4b arranged along the longitudinal direction of the light-emitting unit 4 and another row of convex lens portions of the translucent cover 4d opposed to the second light-emitting row 4g Called. The first light emission row 4f and the second light emission row 4g are arranged in parallel. In the present embodiment, the light emitting unit 4 includes two light emitting columns in parallel (first light emitting column 4f and second light emitting column 4g). However, in the present invention, the light emitting unit 4 may have one light emitting column.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a modification of the translucent cover provided in the light emitting unit 4. Instead of the translucent cover 4d shown in FIG. 2, the translucent cover 4e shown in FIG. The translucent cover 4e has a Fresnel lens part on the surface at a position facing each LED light source 4b. The Fresnel lens unit is an example of a narrow light distribution unit having a function of narrowing the beam angle. In addition, the narrow light distribution part in this invention is not limited to a convex lens part or a Fresnel lens part. Although not shown, a cylindrical lens portion or a linear Fresnel lens portion extending along the longitudinal direction of the light emitting unit 4 may be used as the narrow light distribution portion. Further, the narrow light distribution unit may be omitted. For example, when a bullet-type LED, an LED with a light distribution lens, or the like is used as the LED light source 4b, a narrow light distribution unit is often unnecessary.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the lamp 1A shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, each reflecting surface 5 a has an edge 5 c along the longitudinal direction of the light emitting unit 4. In the present embodiment, the edge 5c extends parallel to the lamp central axis. The edge 5c of each reflective surface 5a is close to the edge 5c of the reflective surface 5a adjacent to the reflective surface 5a. Each light emitting unit 4 is disposed at a position close to the edge 5c of each reflecting surface 5a, and irradiates the reflecting surface 5a with light. The reflecting surface 5a reflects the light emitted from the light emitting unit 4. The light emitting surface of each light emitting unit 4 faces the corner formed by the edge 5c of two adjacent reflecting surfaces 5a.

  FIG. 5 is a view of the lamp 1A shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from the front end side, with the illustration of the front end support 7 omitted. Most of the light emitted from the light emitting unit 4 is applied to the reflecting surface 5a. Of the light irradiated from the lamp 1A to the outer peripheral side, the proportion of light directly irradiated from the light emitting unit 4 without passing through the reflecting surface 5a is small. Most of the light emitted from the lamp 1A to the outer peripheral side is light reflected by the reflecting surface 5a. According to the lamp 1A, the wide reflective surface 5a appears to emit light, and light from the light emitting unit 4 can be prevented from being directly irradiated to the outside of the lamp 1A, so that unpleasant glare can be reliably suppressed. In addition, the luminance uniformity in the circumferential direction of the lamp 1A can be increased. Furthermore, according to the lamp 1A, by using the light emitting unit 4 having an elongated shape, it is possible to suppress the shadow produced by the light emitting unit 4 with respect to the reflected light from the reflecting surface 5a, and it is possible to suppress uneven luminance during lighting. In recent years, since the miniaturization and high efficiency of LEDs have been remarkably advanced, even a narrow and long light emitting unit 4 can emit light efficiently with a large luminous flux. In addition, by arranging the light emitting unit 4 at a position close to the edge 5c of the reflecting surface 5a, it is possible to more reliably suppress the shadow produced by the light emitting unit 4 with respect to the reflected light from the reflecting surface 5a, and uneven brightness during lighting. Can be suppressed more reliably.

  The heat sink 4a of the light emitting unit 4 faces the space outside the lamp 1A. For this reason, air tends to flow around the heat sink 4a by convection or the like, and heat does not accumulate around the heat sink 4a. Therefore, according to the lamp 1A, excellent heat dissipation is obtained, and the LED light source 4b can be lowered in temperature, so that the LED light source 4b can have high luminous efficiency and long life. In particular, regardless of the direction in which the lamp 1A is installed (the base 2 is upward or diagonally upward, the base 2 is downward or diagonally downward, the base 2 is laterally oriented, etc.), excellent heat dissipation can be obtained in any direction. Moreover, the heat sink 4a faces the external space, so that heat radiation by radiation from the heat sink 4a is also promoted. Therefore, heat dissipation is further improved. Further, since the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink 4a is high, sufficient heat dissipation performance can be obtained even with a relatively small heat sink 4a. Therefore, since the heat sink 4a can be reduced in weight, the overall weight of the lamp 1A can also be reduced.

  The reflection characteristics of the reflection surface 5a may be specular reflection or diffuse reflection. The reflective surface 5a may be formed by attaching a highly reflective film. A light ray R1 in FIG. 5 is an example of a light ray specularly reflected by the reflection surface 5a. A light ray R2 in FIG. 5 is an example of a light ray diffusely reflected by the reflection surface 5a. When the reflecting surface 5a is a specular reflecting surface or a characteristic close thereto, a light distribution characteristic is obtained in which the change in luminous intensity in the circumferential direction of the lamp 1A is relatively large. When the reflecting surface 5a is a diffuse reflecting surface, the uniformity of the luminance of the reflecting surface 5a during lighting can be further increased, and unpleasant glare can be more reliably suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, since the reflecting surface 5a is a concave surface, the uniformity of the luminance of the reflecting surface 5a at the time of lighting can be increased, the unevenness of luminance can be more reliably suppressed, and the light emitted from the light emitting unit 4 The reflection efficiency can be further improved. In the present embodiment, the normal line of the reflecting surface 5a is perpendicular to the lamp central axis in the entire reflecting surface 5a. Thereby, the uniformity of the brightness | luminance of the reflective surface 5a at the time of lighting can be made higher, and a brightness nonuniformity can be suppressed more reliably.

  In the present embodiment, each light emitting unit 4 is close to the edge 5c of two adjacent reflecting surfaces 5a and irradiates light to the two reflecting surfaces 5a, respectively. In each light emitting unit 4, the first light emitting row 4f irradiates light to one of the two reflecting surfaces 5a, and the second light emitting row 4g irradiates light to the other of the two reflecting surfaces 5a. Thus, when one light emitting unit 4 irradiates light to the two reflective surfaces 5a, the uniformity of the brightness | luminance of the reflective surface 5a at the time of lighting can be made higher, and a brightness nonuniformity can be suppressed more reliably.

  Moreover, in each light emitting unit 4, the light emission row | line which irradiates light to one reflective surface 5a of two adjacent reflective surfaces 5a, and the light emission row | line | column which irradiates light to the other reflective surface 5a were divided | segmented. The following effects can be obtained. Even when the positional relationship between the corner portion formed by the edges 5c of the two adjacent reflecting surfaces 5a and the light emitting unit 4 is slightly deviated from the design value, the light irradiation amount to both the reflecting surfaces 5a can be made uniform. On the other hand, assuming that the light emitting unit 4 has one light emitting row, the positional relationship between the corner portion formed by the edges 5c of the two adjacent reflecting surfaces 5a and the light emitting unit 4 is deviated. The distribution ratio of the light irradiation amount with respect to 5a is easily affected.

  In the present embodiment, light is emitted from the light emitting unit 4 adjacent to the edges 5c on both sides of each reflecting surface 5a to the reflecting surface 5a. In other words, light is irradiated from the two light emitting units 4 adjacent to the edges 5c on both sides to one reflecting surface 5a. Thereby, the uniformity of the brightness | luminance of the reflective surface 5a at the time of lighting can be made higher, and a brightness nonuniformity can be suppressed more reliably.

  In the present embodiment, the light emitting unit 4 includes two parallel light emitting columns (the first light emitting column 4f and the second light emitting column 4g). However, in the present invention, the light emitting unit 4 includes three or more parallel light emitting columns. A column may be provided. For example, when it is assumed that the light emitting unit 4 includes four light emitting columns, two of the light emitting columns irradiate one of the two adjacent reflecting surfaces 5a, and the other two light emitting columns You may comprise so that light may be irradiated to the other of the said two reflective surfaces 5a. When it is assumed that the light emitting unit 4 includes four light emitting columns, three of the light emitting columns irradiate light to one of the two adjacent reflecting surfaces 5a, and the other one light emitting column You may comprise so that light may be irradiated to the other of the said two reflective surfaces 5a. In this way, the light irradiation amount from the light emitting unit 4 to one of the two adjacent reflection surfaces 5a and the light irradiation amount to the other of the two reflection surfaces 5a may not be equal. In that case, the light emitting unit 4 may have an odd number (for example, three or five rows) of light emitting columns.

  In FIG. 5, θ1 is a ½ beam angle of light emitted from one light emitting unit 4 in a plane perpendicular to the center axis of the lamp. The 1/2 beam angle is an opening angle of light that becomes a half of the maximum luminous intensity. As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the range of the ½ beam angle θ1 of one light emitting unit 4 is covered by two adjacent reflecting surfaces 5a. Thereby, the uniformity of the luminance of the reflecting surface 5a at the time of lighting can be further increased, the luminance unevenness and the glare can be more reliably suppressed, the reflection efficiency of the light emitted from the light emitting unit 4 is further improved, and the luminous efficiency is improved. A high lamp 1A is obtained. For example, the above conditions can be satisfied by adjusting the optical characteristics of the narrow light distribution portion and the shape of the reflecting surface 5a.

  In the present embodiment, the reflecting surface 5a is a continuous concave surface (concave surface). The shape of the reflective surface 5a is not limited to the illustrated shape. The reflective surface 5a may be a flat surface or a convex surface. The reflecting surface may be a surface obtained by combining a plurality of flat surfaces in a concave shape. Further, the reflecting surface 5a may be a surface obtained by combining a plurality of concave surfaces. For example, in each reflecting surface 5a, the first concave surface that mainly reflects light emitted from the light emitting unit 4 adjacent to one edge 5c and the light emitted from the light emitting unit 4 adjacent to the other edge 5c are mainly used. The reflective surface 5a may be formed by connecting the second concave surface to be reflected.

  The reflective surface 5a may be a fluorescent surface containing a fluorescent material. For example, the reflective surface 5 a may be a fluorescent surface containing a yellow fluorescent material, and a blue LED may be used as the LED light source 4 b of the light emitting unit 4. In this case, the light reflected by the reflecting surface 5a becomes white light obtained by combining blue light and yellow light, and appears white when observed from a position away from the lamp 1A. For example, a layer containing a fluorescent material can be provided on the reflective surface 5a by using a binder such as silicone.

  In the present embodiment, the plurality of light emitting units 4 and the reflecting surface 5a are arranged at an equal distance from the lamp central axis and at equal angular intervals around the lamp central axis. Thereby, the uniformity of the luminance in the circumferential direction of the lamp 1A can be made higher, and the luminance unevenness can be more reliably suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, when the lamp 1 </ b> A is viewed from the back side of the light emitting unit 4, the one reflecting surface 5 a and the other reflecting surface 5 a are arranged symmetrically via the light emitting unit 4. For this reason, while being excellent in design property, the brightness distribution at the time of lighting becomes symmetrical, so that the balance is good and glare can be more reliably suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the light emitting unit 4 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction thereof is parallel to the lamp central axis. The present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the longitudinal direction of the light emitting unit 4 may be inclined with respect to the lamp central axis. The inclination angle when the longitudinal direction of the light emitting unit 4 is inclined with respect to the lamp central axis is preferably about 30 ° or less, for example. In the present embodiment, the case where the number of the light emitting units 4 and the reflecting surfaces 5a is three has been described. However, in the present invention, the number of the light emitting units 4 and the reflecting surfaces 5a may be two, or four or more. .
