Description

Aspects of the present invention generally relate to bathroom lighting devices.

A bathroom lighting device (hereinafter referred to as a lighting device) installed on a wall panel of a bathroom is known (for example, Patent Document 1). In such a lighting device, it has been proposed to form a long lighting device by arranging a plurality of light emitting bodies such as LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) side by side on a substrate. When such a lighting device is used in a bathroom, it is necessary to store the substrate in a storage case that ensures a sealing property in order to prevent the substrate from getting wet.

However, if the substrate is stored in a closed storage case, the storage case may be damaged or the sealing performance may be deteriorated when the air inside the storage case expands due to the room temperature of the bathroom or the heat generated by the illuminant. There was a risk that it would end up.

Therefore, in the lighting device, it is desired that even when the substrate provided with the light emitting body is stored in the storage case, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the sealing property due to the expansion of the air in the storage case.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a bathroom lighting device according to an embodiment.
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view schematically showing the bathroom lighting device according to the embodiment.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the bathroom lighting device according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the bathroom lighting device 10 (hereinafter referred to as the lighting device 10) includes a substrate 12, a storage case 14, and a communication pipe 16. The lighting device 10 is installed on the wall panel WP of the bathroom. The lighting device 10 is used by being attached to the wall panel WP of the bathroom to illuminate the space in the bathroom.

The substrate 12 is provided with a light emitting body 18 that irradiates light (visible light). The substrate 12 has a horizontally long flat plate shape. The substrate 12 has a plurality of light emitters 18 provided side by side on the surface 12a. Each illuminant 18 is arranged side by side at least in the horizontal direction. As a result, the substrate 12 and each light emitting body 18 form a light source that irradiates a wide range of light extending linearly in the lateral direction. The substrate 12 and each light emitting body 18 are so-called line illumination.

As the light emitting body 18, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode), an LD (Laser Diode), an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), or the like is used. For example, when a surface-emitting element such as an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) element is used as the light emitting body 18, the number of light emitting bodies 18 may be one. The light emitting body 18 is not limited to the above, and may be any element. Further, the shape of the substrate 12 is not limited to the above, and may be any shape. The arrangement of each illuminant 18 is not limited to the above, and may be any arrangement. The substrate 12 and the light emitting body 18 may be, for example, surface illumination that irradiates light from a light emitting surface having a predetermined area.

The storage case 14 has a space SP1 having a sealing property, and the substrate 12 is stored in the space SP1. The storage case 14 has, for example, a case body 20 and caps 22 and 24. The case body 20 has a tubular shape having a substantially rectangular cross section extending in the lateral direction. The cap 22 is attached to one end of the case body 20 in the lateral direction and closes one opening 20a of the case body 20. The cap 24 is attached to the other end of the case body 20 in the lateral direction and closes the other opening 20b of the case body 20. As a result, the case body 20 and the caps 22 and 24 form a space SP1 having a sealing property.

In other words, the storage case 14 stores the substrate 12 in the tubular case body 20. The case body 20 is translucent. The light emitted from each light emitting body 18 passes through the case body 20 and is emitted to the outside.

The lighting device 10 includes, for example, a heat sink 30. The heat sink 30 supports the substrate 12. The heat radiating plate 30 is thermally coupled to the substrate 12 by, for example, coming into contact with the surface of the substrate 12 opposite to the surface 12a on which each light emitting body 18 is provided. As a result, the heat radiating plate 30 dissipates the heat generated by the lighting of each light emitting body 18. For the heat radiating plate 30, for example, a metal material having high thermal conductivity such as aluminum or copper is used. The substrate 12 is housed in the storage case 14 while being supported by the heat sink 30. The heat radiating plate 30 also functions as, for example, a support that supports the substrate 12 at a predetermined position in the storage case 14. For example, when an element having a small heat generation amount such as an organic EL element is used for the light emitting body 18, the heat radiating plate 30 does not necessarily have to be provided.

Further, the lighting device 10 further includes, for example, an attachment member 32 for attaching the storage case 14 to other members in the bathroom. The mounting member 32 supports the storage case 14 by sandwiching the storage case 14 back and forth. Further, the mounting member 32 covers the upper surface of the storage case 14. The mounting member 32 is, for example, a member having a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens downward. For the mounting member 32, for example, a metal material such as iron, stainless steel, or aluminum is used. The mounting member 32 has a light-shielding property. The mounting member 32 has light reflectivity with respect to the light emitted from each light emitting body 18. As a result, the mounting member 32 emits the light emitted from each light emitting body 18 only downward.

The shape of the mounting member 32 is not limited to the above, and may be any shape that allows the storage case 14 to be mounted on other members in the bathroom. Further, the light irradiation direction of each light emitting body 18 is not limited to the downward direction, and may be forward or the like. For example, when the storage case 14 itself can be attached to another member, the attachment member 32 can be omitted. The heat radiating plate 30 and the mounting member 32 are provided as needed and can be omitted.

The communication pipe 16 communicates the space SP1 in the storage case 14 with the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP.

The cap 22 has a connection port 22a for connecting the communication pipe 16, a connection port 22b for connecting the case body 20, and a pipeline 22c for connecting the connection port 22a and the connection port 22b. The cap 22 has, for example, a pipe shape bent in a substantially L shape. The cap 22 closes one opening 20a of the case body 20 by inserting the connection port 22b into one opening 20a of the case body 20, and the conduit 22c and the space 20c inside the tubular case body 20. Communicate. The space SP1 inside the storage case 14 is composed of, for example, the space 20c inside the case body 20 and the conduit 22c of the cap 22.

One end of the communication pipe 16 is connected to the connection port 22a. As a result, the space 16a inside the communication pipe 16 communicates with the space SP1 inside the storage case 14. The connection between the storage case 14 and the communication pipe 16 is not limited to the connection port 22a of the cap 22. For example, by providing a connection port in the case body 20 and connecting one end of the communication pipe 16 to the case body 20, the space 16a inside the communication pipe 16 and the space SP1 inside the storage case 14 may be communicated with each other. ..

The lighting device 10 further includes, for example, a connecting member 34 and hose bands 36 and 38. The connecting member 34 is used for connecting the communication pipe 16 and the wall panel WP of the bathroom. The connecting member 34 has a tubular main body portion 34a and a flange portion 34b protruding outward so as to increase the diameter from the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 34a.

The wall panel WP is provided with an opening WPa corresponding to the shape of the main body portion 34a of the connecting member 34. The connecting member 34 inserts the rear end portion of the main body portion 34a from the indoor side of the bathroom into the opening WPa of the wall panel WP. Then, the connecting member 34 is attached to the wall panel WP by closing the opening WPa with the flange portion 34b and screwing the connecting member 34 to the wall panel WP at the flange portion 34b.

The other end of the communication pipe 16 is connected to the main body 34a of the connecting member 34. As a result, a path is formed from the space 20c inside the case body 20 to the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP via the conduit 22c of the cap 22, the communication pipe 16, and the body 34a of the connecting member 34. The communication pipe 16 communicates the space SP1 in the storage case 14 with the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP.

The communication pipe 16 has flexibility. For the communication pipe 16, for example, a rubber tube or a metal flexible hose is used. However, the communication pipe 16 does not necessarily have to have flexibility. The communication pipe 16 may be a rigid pipe made of metal, resin, or the like.

The hose band 36 is attached to the connection portion between the communication pipe 16 and the connection port 22a of the cap 22, and the communication pipe 16 and the connection port 22a are tightened from above the communication pipe 16 to prevent the communication pipe 16 from coming off. The hose band 38 is attached to the connection portion between the communication pipe 16 and the main body portion 34a of the connecting member 34, and tightens the communication pipe 16 and the main body portion 34a from above the communication pipe 16 to prevent the communication pipe 16 from coming off. ..

The lighting device 10 further includes an insect invasion suppressing member 40 and a wiring member 42. The insect invasion suppressing member 40 is provided on the path between the space SP1 in the storage case 14 and the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP. A plurality of insect invasion suppressing members 40 can suppress the invasion of insects from the back side of the wall panel WP while allowing the flow of air between the space SP1 in the storage case 14 and the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP. Has a hole 40a.

The insect invasion suppressing member 40 has elasticity. For the insect invasion suppressing member 40, for example, a non-woven fabric obtained by compacting chemical fibers such as nylon is used. In FIG. 3, the holes 40a are shown in a straight line for convenience. When a non-woven fabric is used for the insect invasion suppressing member 40, the hole 40a actually has a complicated shape extending so as to sew a gap between the compacted fibers.

The insect invasion suppressing member 40 does not necessarily have to have elasticity. The insect invasion suppressing member 40 may be, for example, a plate-shaped or block-shaped hard member provided with a plurality of through holes. Alternatively, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 may be a thin film-like member or the like. The shape and material of the insect invasion suppressing member 40 may be any shape and material capable of suppressing the invasion of insects while allowing air to pass through. The width (opening width) of the hole 40a in the direction orthogonal to the air passing direction is, for example, 1 μm or more and 2 mm or less. As a result, it is possible to appropriately suppress the invasion of relatively large-sized insects that are visually recognized as shadows from the outside of the storage case 14 when the storage case 14 is lit, while appropriately passing air.

The insect invasion suppressing member 40 is, for example, on the storage case 14 side or the space 16a surrounded only by the communication pipe 16 in the path between the space SP1 in the storage case 14 and the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP. It is provided on the wall panel WP side.

The insect invasion suppressing member 40 is provided, for example, in the connection port 22a of the cap 22 of the storage case 14. On the contrary, for example, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 may be provided in the main body portion 34a of the connecting member 34. Alternatively, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 may be provided in the space 16a surrounded only by the communication pipe 16. The position of the insect invasion suppressing member 40 may be any position on the path between the space SP1 in the storage case 14 and the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP.

The wiring member 42 is connected to the substrate 12 in the storage case 14 and is wiring for supplying electric power to the substrate 12. The wiring member 42 is inserted into the communication pipe 16 and enters the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP. More specifically, the wiring member 42 enters the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP via the case body 20, the cap 22, the communication pipe 16, and the connecting member 34.

One end 42a of the wiring member 42 is connected to the substrate 12 in the storage case 14 (inside the case body 20). The other end 42b of the wiring member 42 is located in the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP. The other end 42b of the wiring member 42 is connected to the power supply PU in, for example, the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP. The power supply PU supplies electric power to the substrate 12 via the wiring member 42. Each light emitting body 18 is turned on, for example, according to the supply of electric power from the power supply device PU, and is turned off when the supply of electric power from the power supply device PU is stopped.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view schematically showing a part of the bathroom lighting device according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 4, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 has a notch 40b for inserting the wiring member 42. The width (diameter) of the insect invasion suppressing member 40 in the direction orthogonal to the air passing direction is slightly larger than the width of the opening of the connection port 22a of the cap 22. As a result, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 is attached into the connection port 22a by press fitting. In FIG. 4, for convenience, the notch 40b is shown in a slightly opened state. Actually, the notch 40b is closed by press-fitting the insect invasion suppressing member 40 into the connection port 22a. Therefore, even when the notch 40b is provided, the invasion of insects from the notch 40b is suppressed.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view schematically showing the bathroom unit.
In other words, FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a usage example of the lighting device 10.

Further, the lighting device 10 is not limited to the one that illuminates the lower part of the accessory member, and may be, for example, one that illuminates the space inside the bathroom unit 100 by irradiating the light toward the front of the wall panel WP.

Hereinafter, as an example of a specific example, the faucet device 106 provided with the lighting device 10a will be described.
FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view schematically showing the faucet device.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the faucet device.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, for example, the faucet device 106 includes a top plate 120, a plurality of supports 122, a faucet function portion 124, reinforcing plates 126 to 128, and side covers 130. It has 131, a cover 132, and a lower cover 134.

The top plate 120 is a substantially rectangular flat plate-shaped member extending in the lateral direction. The top plate 120 forms a substantially horizontal upper surface of the faucet device 106. The faucet device 106 allows an article such as a shampoo bottle to be placed on the top plate 120.

The plurality of supports 122 are attached to the wall panel WP side by side in the horizontal direction to support the top plate 120. Each support 122 supports, for example, the top plate 120 in a state of being slightly separated from the wall panel WP. Note that, for convenience, only a part of the wall panel WP is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

The faucet function unit 124 is, for example, a spout for spouting hot water, an operation unit for switching the spouting stop of hot water from the spout, and adjusting the temperature and flow rate of hot water spouted from the spout. It has an adjusting part and the like. The faucet function portion 124 is supported by each support 122 by being attached to any of the supports 122.

Reinforcing plates 126 to 128 are provided on each support 122 so as to be bridged between the supports 122. The top plate 120 is provided on the reinforcing plates 126 to 128. As a result, the reinforcing plates 126 to 128 suppress the bending of the top plate 120.

The side covers 130 and 131 are attached to both side ends of the reinforcing plate 126, for example, and close the gaps on the sides of the reinforcing plate 126. The cover 132 is mounted on each support 122 to cover the upper part of each support 122 in the portion between the top plate 120 and the wall panel WP, and the portion between the top plate 120 and the wall panel WP. Covers the sides of each support 122.

The lower cover 134 is attached below each support 122 and covers the lower part of the top plate 120. That is, the lower cover 134 suppresses the downward exposure of each support 122, the faucet function portion 124, and the like. Further, the lower cover 134 has an opening 134a. The opening 134a is provided at the lower end of the lower cover 134 and forms a gap with the wall panel WP.

The illuminating device 10a is attached below each support 122. The lighting device 10a is attached below each support 122, for example, by screwing the attachment member 32 to each support 122. The lighting device 10a is arranged in, for example, a space surrounded by the top plate 120 and the lower cover 134. The illuminating device 10a is attached below each support 122 so as to face the opening 134a of the lower cover 134. As a result, the lighting device 10a irradiates light downward through the opening 134a of the lower cover 134. As a result, it is possible to prevent the faucet device 106 from irradiating light downward and causing darkness below the counter-shaped faucet device 106. The lower end of the lighting device 10a may project slightly downward from the opening 134a of the lower cover 134, for example.

Further, the communication pipe 16 and the connecting member 34 of the lighting device 10a are arranged at positions hidden by the faucet device 106 when viewed from the front. At least a part of the communication pipe 16 is arranged in the space surrounded by the top plate 120 and the lower cover 134. As a result, even when the space SP1 in the storage case 14 and the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP are communicated with each other by the communication pipe 16, the deterioration of the aesthetic appearance of the bathroom unit 100 can be suppressed.

As described above, according to the lighting device 10 according to the present embodiment, the space SP1 in the storage case 14 communicates with the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP via the communication pipe 16, and therefore the space SP1 is stored. Even if the air in the case 14 expands, the air can escape to the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP. Therefore, it is possible to suppress damage to the storage case 14 and deterioration of the sealing property due to expansion of the air in the storage case 14. Further, even if the air contracts, since the air on the back side of the wall panel WP is sucked, it is possible to suppress sucking the moist air on the front side of the wall panel WP, and it is possible to suppress damage to the light emitter 18 and the like.

Further, in the bathroom, a plurality of wall panel WPs are often arranged side by side, and the surfaces of the wall panel WPs may not be flush with each other. Therefore, when the storage case 14 is attached across the plurality of wall panel WPs, it is conceivable to attach the storage case 14 away from each wall panel WP. For example, in the above embodiment, the lighting device 10a is attached below each support 122, and the storage case 14 is attached away from the wall panel WP. In the lighting device 10, by providing the communication pipe 16, even if the storage case 14 is separated from the wall panel WP, the space SP1 in the storage case 14 and the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP can be appropriately communicated with each other. it can.

Further, in the lighting device 10, the communication pipe 16 has flexibility.

For example, it is particularly suitable when the storage case 14 having a sealing property cannot be disassembled.

Further, in the lighting device 10, by arranging the insect invasion suppressing member 40 at a position other than the space 16a surrounded only by the communication pipe 16, it is not necessary to push the insect invasion suppressing member 40 into the communication pipe 16, and the insect invasion is not required. The restraining member 40 can be easily attached. Further, for example, when the insect invasion suppressing member 40 is arranged in the flexible communication pipe 16, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 cannot be arranged at an appropriate position due to the bending of the communicating pipe 16 at the time of construction. Is a concern. That is, there is a concern that a gap will be formed between the insect invasion suppressing member 40 and the inner wall of the communication pipe 16, and the effect of suppressing the invasion of insects will be reduced. By arranging the insect invasion suppressing member 40 at a position other than the space 16a surrounded only by the communicating pipe 16, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 can be appropriately attached without being affected by the bending of the communicating pipe 16. , Invasion of insects can be suppressed more reliably.

Further, in the lighting device 10, by providing the insect invasion suppressing member 40 in the connection port 22a on the storage case 14 side, it is possible to prevent the light emitted from the light emitting body 18 from leaking to the communication pipe 16 side. Can be done. As a result, it is possible to prevent light from leaking from an unintended portion and deteriorating the aesthetic appearance. Further, it is possible to prevent light from leaking to the back side of the wall panel WP via the communication pipe 16 and attracting insects.

Further, as compared with the case where the insect invasion suppressing member 40 is provided on the wall panel WP side, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 is unintentionally touched when connecting the communication pipe 16 and the wall panel WP or during maintenance. , It is possible to prevent the insect invasion suppressing member 40 from being displaced from an appropriate position. For example, during maintenance of the lighting device 10 and the faucet device 106, the wiring member 42 may be attached to and detached from the power supply device PU. At this time, if the insect invasion suppressing member 40 is provided on the wall panel WP side, when the wiring member 42 is attached or detached, the wiring member 42 is operated and the insect invasion suppressing member 40 near the power supply device PU side is provided. There is a possibility that the position of the insect invasion suppressing member 40 may be displaced due to the wiring member 42 being largely displaced. By providing the insect invasion suppressing member 40 in the connection port 22a on the storage case 14 side, the displacement of the wiring member 42 in the vicinity of the insect invasion suppressing member 40 becomes small. It is also possible to suppress the displacement of the.

Further, in the lighting device 10, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 has elasticity. As a result, the insect invasion suppressing member 40 can be attached by press fitting, the gap can be filled and the invasion of insects can be suppressed more reliably, and the insect invasion suppressing member 40 needs to be fixed by using another member or the like. It is possible to easily attach / detach the insect invasion suppressing member 40.

Further, in the lighting device 10, the wiring member 42 is inserted into the communication pipe 16 and enters the space SP2 on the back side of the wall panel WP. As a result, it is not necessary to provide another pipe or the like for passing the wiring member 42, and electric power can be supplied to the substrate 12 with a simple configuration.

Further, in the lighting device 10, the wiring member 42 can be easily passed through by providing the notch 40b in the insect invasion suppressing member 40. Further, since the insect invasion suppressing member 40 has elasticity, it is possible to suppress the formation of a gap between the insect invasion suppressing member 40 and the wiring member 42.
