Description

この発明は、LEDを光源として用いた照明装置用のLEDレンズカバーに関するものである。 This invention relates to an LED lens cover for a lighting device that uses an LED as a light source.

近年、消費電力が少ない、チラツキが少ない、耐久性があり、長寿命である等の理由から、光源としてLED(=発光ダイオード)等の点光源を用いた照明装置が出現している。しかしながら、LEDは一般的に、正面光軸方向の光度が最大であり、光軸方向に対する角度が大きくなるに従い、光度が減少する指向特性を有している。そのため均一な面状照明光を得ることが必要な掲示器等の照明装置の光源として、LEDを用いる場合には、LEDの光を拡散させ、面状の表示面を均一に照射させる構成が必要となる。 In recent years, lighting devices that use point light sources such as LEDs (light-emitting diodes) as the light source have appeared for reasons such as low power consumption, little flickering, durability, and long life. However, LEDs generally have directional characteristics in which the luminous intensity is greatest in the direction of the front optical axis, and the luminous intensity decreases as the angle relative to the optical axis increases. Therefore, when using LEDs as the light source for lighting devices such as noticeboards that require uniform planar illumination, a configuration is required that diffuses the LED light and uniformly illuminates the planar display surface.

なお、掲示器は、鉄道の駅構内や地下通路、或いは建物の外壁面等に、設置され、表面に文字や絵などが付された光透過性のパネルをその背面側から光を当てて、歩行者等へ周辺地理の案内や誘導のための情報や、宣伝広告等の各種情報を掲示するものである。 Displays are installed in railway stations, underground passages, or on the exterior walls of buildings, and use light to shine from the back of a light-transmitting panel with letters or pictures on its surface to display various types of information to pedestrians, such as information to guide or guide them around the area, or advertising materials.

LEDの光を拡散させ、面状の表示面を均一に照射させる構成としては、例えば、照明装置の筐体2の天井部内面に沿って複数のLED42を列状に配置し、各LED42から下向きに放射された線状光源4の光を、光拡散レンズ5であるリニアフレネルレンズで集光し、集光した光束を減衰させることなく筐体2の正背両側に設置された透光表示板3、3に向けてそれぞれ配分し、両透光表示板3、3の表示面の全体を均一な光で照射する、特許文献1の構成が開示されている。 As a configuration for diffusing the light of the LEDs and uniformly illuminating a planar display surface, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which multiple LEDs 42 are arranged in a row along the inner surface of the ceiling of the housing 2 of the lighting device, and the light of the linear light source 4 emitted downward from each LED 42 is collected by a linear Fresnel lens, which is a light diffusing lens 5, and the collected light flux is distributed without attenuation toward the translucent display boards 3, 3 installed on both the front and back sides of the housing 2, respectively, and the entire display surface of both translucent display boards 3, 3 is illuminated with uniform light.

特開2011-180278号公報JP 2011-180278 A

しかしながら、この特許文献1は、照明装置の筐体の天井部内面に沿って複数のLEDを列状に配置し、各LEDの前方に、光の照射対象である両透光表示板が配置される構成を想定している。各LEDの側面や側面後方に両透光表示板が配置される、つまり各LEDの側面や側面後方に光の照射が要求される構成を想定していない。 However, this Patent Document 1 assumes a configuration in which multiple LEDs are arranged in a row along the inner surface of the ceiling of the lighting device housing, and two translucent display plates that are the targets of light irradiation are arranged in front of each LED. It does not assume a configuration in which two translucent display plates are arranged on the side or rear of each LED, in other words, a configuration in which light irradiation is required on the side or rear of each LED.

照明装置7の筐体71の天井部内面に沿って配置された、各LED72の側面や側面後方に両透光表示板73が配置される構成の場合、図5に示すように、各LED72の側面から光が漏れ、その部分だけ、明るい帯ができ、他の部分と照度に差が出てしまう。一方、各LED72の側面から漏れる光を完全に遮断してしまうと、各LED72の側面や側面後方に係る、透光表示板73の表示面に光が照射されなくなってしまう。従って、各LED72の側面や側面後方に対応する両透光表示板73に適切に光が照射されるように、各LED72の側面から漏れる光の量や漏れ方を調節する必要がある。 In a configuration in which both translucent display plates 73 are arranged on the side or rear side of each LED 72 arranged along the inner ceiling surface of the housing 71 of the lighting device 7, as shown in FIG. 5, light leaks from the side of each LED 72, creating a bright band in that area only, resulting in a difference in illuminance from other areas. On the other hand, if the light leaking from the side of each LED 72 is completely blocked, light will not be irradiated onto the display surface of the translucent display plate 73 related to the side or rear side of each LED 72. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the amount and manner of light leaking from the side of each LED 72 so that light is appropriately irradiated onto both translucent display plates 73 corresponding to the side or rear side of each LED 72.

なお、照明装置7の筐体71の天井部内面に沿って配置された、各LED72の側面や側面後方に両透光表示板73が配置される構成の場合、各LED72には、図6及び図7に示す既製品の、プラスティック製のレンズ6が設けられている。このレンズ6は、略短円筒形状であって、LED72から照射される光束を、正面光軸方向に集約させる役割を果たす。しかし、各LED72にレンズ6を設けても、側面から漏れる光の量や漏れ方を調節することはできない。 When both translucent display plates 73 are arranged on the side or rear side of each LED 72 arranged along the inner surface of the ceiling of the housing 71 of the lighting device 7, each LED 72 is provided with a ready-made plastic lens 6 as shown in Figures 6 and 7. This lens 6 has a roughly short cylindrical shape and serves to concentrate the light beam emitted from the LED 72 in the front optical axis direction. However, even if each LED 72 is provided with a lens 6, it is not possible to adjust the amount or manner of light leaking from the side.

そのため、従来は、このレンズ6の外周に、作業者等のユーザがテープを巻いて(図示省略)、LEDの側面から漏れる光の量や漏れ方を調節していた。しかし、1つの照明装置7にLED72は、例えば36個~60個設けられており、これらのLED72の各レンズの外周にテープを巻くには、膨大な時間と手間が必要である。 For this reason, conventionally, workers or other users would wrap tape (not shown) around the outer periphery of this lens 6 to adjust the amount and manner of light leaking from the side of the LED. However, one lighting device 7 may be equipped with, for example, 36 to 60 LEDs 72, and wrapping tape around the outer periphery of the lens of each of these LEDs 72 requires a huge amount of time and effort.

そこで、この発明は、上述の課題を解決する、LEDの側面から漏れる光や漏れ方を調整することができ、また、LEDのレンズに簡単に被せることができ、作業が簡易な照明装置用のLEDレンズカバーを提供することを目的としたものである。 The purpose of this invention is to provide an LED lens cover for lighting devices that solves the above-mentioned problems, can adjust the amount of light leaking from the sides of an LED and the manner in which it leaks, and can be easily placed over an LED lens, making the installation process simple.

(実施の形態例1)
まず、この発明の実施の形態例1のLEDレンズカバー1について、図1に基づいて説明する。図1(a)は、この発明の実施の形態例1の平面図であって、(b)は、正面図である。LEDレンズカバー1は、アクリル製の型に、シリコーンを流し込んで一体に成型されたシリコーン製で、リング(=環)状である。なお、「シリコーン」は、「シリコン」とも呼ばれ、ケイ素と酸素からなるシロキサン結合(-Si-O-Si-)を骨格とし、そのケイ素(Si)にメチル基(-CH3)を主体とする有機基が結合したポリマーの総称であり、例えば、ポリアミド樹脂、熱可撓性アクリル樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂を含む概念である。
(Embodiment Example 1)
First, an LED lens cover 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1(a) is a plan view of the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1(b) is a front view. The LED lens cover 1 is made of silicone and is molded integrally by pouring silicone into an acrylic mold, and has a ring shape. Note that "silicone" is also called "silicon" and is a general term for polymers that have a siloxane bond (-Si-O-Si-) made of silicon and oxygen as a skeleton, and an organic group mainly composed of a methyl group (-CH3) is bonded to the silicon (Si). For example, this concept includes polyamide resin, thermoplastic acrylic resin, and polycarbonate resin.

また、LEDレンズカバー1は、前方の下端及び後方の下端に、切り欠き11が夫々設けられている。この切り欠き11は、レンズ6の下前方及び下後方から外周方向に向かって伸びており、レンズ6を基板8(後述)に係止させる爪部61(図6を参照)を収容し、レンズ6にLEDレンズカバー1が嵌合するように設けられている。なお、LEDレンズカバー1の前方の下端の切り欠き11は、図1(b)に示されている。一方、LEDレンズカバー1の後方の下端の切り欠き11は、図1(b)に示されていないが、LEDレンズカバー1の正面と背面は同様であるため、図示を省略する。 The LED lens cover 1 also has notches 11 at its front and rear lower ends. These notches 11 extend from the lower front and rear of the lens 6 toward the outer periphery and accommodate claws 61 (see FIG. 6) that engage the lens 6 with the substrate 8 (described below), allowing the LED lens cover 1 to fit onto the lens 6. The notch 11 at the front lower end of the LED lens cover 1 is shown in FIG. 1(b). On the other hand, the notch 11 at the rear lower end of the LED lens cover 1 is not shown in FIG. 1(b), but since the front and back of the LED lens cover 1 are similar, it is not shown here.

また、図1(a)に示すように、LEDレンズカバー1の前方方向の内周面及び後方方向の内周面には、LEDレンズカバー1の中心方向に向かって盛り上がった肉厚段部12が夫々設けられている。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 1(a), the inner circumferential surface of the LED lens cover 1 in the forward direction and the inner circumferential surface in the rear direction are each provided with a thick stepped portion 12 that rises toward the center of the LED lens cover 1.

図6に示すように、レンズ6の左方向の外周面及び右方向の外周面は、レンズ6の外周方向に向かって盛り上がった肉厚段部62が夫々設けられているため、リング状のLEDレンズカバー1をレンズ6の外周に嵌合させると、レンズ6の左方向の外周面及び右方向の外周面については、LEDレンズカバー1を隙間なく嵌合させることができるが、レンズ6の前方方向と後方方向については、肉厚段部62があることで浮いてしまい、レンズ6の外周面にLEDレンズカバー1を隙間なく嵌合させることはできない。 As shown in FIG. 6, the outer peripheral surface of the lens 6 on the left and right sides are each provided with a thick step portion 62 that rises toward the outer periphery of the lens 6. Therefore, when the ring-shaped LED lens cover 1 is fitted to the outer periphery of the lens 6, the LED lens cover 1 can be fitted without gaps to the outer peripheral surfaces of the lens 6 on the left and right sides. However, in the forward and backward directions of the lens 6, the thick step portion 62 causes the lens 6 to float, and the LED lens cover 1 cannot be fitted without gaps to the outer peripheral surface of the lens 6.

そこで、LEDレンズカバー1の前方方向の内周面及び後方方向の内周面に、肉厚段部12を設けることで、レンズ6の前方方向及び後方方向の外周を支持させて持ち上げ、レンズ6の外周面にLEDレンズカバー1を隙間なく嵌合させる。 Therefore, by providing thick step portions 12 on the inner circumferential surface of the LED lens cover 1 in the forward and rearward directions, the outer periphery of the lens 6 in the forward and rearward directions is supported and raised, and the LED lens cover 1 is fitted tightly to the outer periphery of the lens 6.

図2(a)は、LEDレンズカバー1をレンズ6に被せた状態を示す正面図であり、(b)は、LEDレンズカバー1をレンズ6に被せた状態を示す平面図である。また、図3(a)は、基板8上のレンズ6に、この発明の実施の形態例1に係るLEDレンズカバーを被せた状態を示す正面図であり、(b)は、基板8上のレンズに、この発明の実施の形態例1に係るLEDレンズカバーを被せた状態を示す平面図である。なお、照明装置7の筐体71の天井部内面に沿って各LED72を配置する場合には、電源や各LEDを制御する制御回路等が搭載された基板8上に、各LED72を配置するが、当該事項は、一般的な事項であるため、説明を省略する。 2(a) is a front view showing the state where the LED lens cover 1 is placed on the lens 6, and (b) is a plan view showing the state where the LED lens cover 1 is placed on the lens 6. Also, FIG. 3(a) is a front view showing the state where the LED lens cover according to the first embodiment of the present invention is placed on the lens 6 on the substrate 8, and (b) is a plan view showing the state where the LED lens cover according to the first embodiment of the present invention is placed on the lens on the substrate 8. When the LEDs 72 are arranged along the inner surface of the ceiling part of the housing 71 of the lighting device 7, the LEDs 72 are arranged on the substrate 8 on which the power supply and the control circuit for controlling the LEDs are mounted, but this is a general matter and therefore will not be described.

図2及び図3で示されているように、LEDレンズカバー1の前方の下端及び後方の下端に夫々、切り欠き11が設けられ、LEDレンズカバー1の前方方向の内周面及び後方方向の内周面に夫々、肉厚段部12が設けられているため、LEDレンズカバー1をレンズ6の外周面に沿って隙間なく嵌合させることができる。 As shown in Figures 2 and 3, notches 11 are provided at the front and rear lower ends of the LED lens cover 1, and thick-walled steps 12 are provided on the front and rear inner circumferential surfaces of the LED lens cover 1, respectively, so that the LED lens cover 1 can be fitted snugly along the outer circumferential surface of the lens 6.

また、LEDレンズカバー1の色は、例えば、クリア(=透明)や薄い白色や濃い白色等を使用可能であるが、濃い白色が好ましい。 The color of the LED lens cover 1 can be, for example, clear (=transparent), light white, dark white, etc., but dark white is preferred.

更に、LEDレンズカバー1の表面に凹凸を作るため、ブラスト処理を施す構成としても良い。ブラスト処理を施して、LEDレンズカバー1の表面に凹凸を形成することによって、LED72の光が、その凹凸に乱反射して拡散し、各LED72の側面や側面後方に対応する両透光表示板に適切に光が照射される。 Furthermore, a blasting process may be performed to create unevenness on the surface of the LED lens cover 1. By performing a blasting process to form unevenness on the surface of the LED lens cover 1, the light from the LEDs 72 is diffused by being diffused by the unevenness, and the light is appropriately irradiated onto the side and the two translucent display plates corresponding to the rear side of each LED 72.

次に、テープをレンズ6の外周に巻いた場合と、本実施の形態例1に係るLEDレンズカバー1をレンズ6に被せた場合で比較する。図4は、レンズにテープを巻いた場合と、レンズに各種のLEDレンズカバー1を被せた場合の照度を示したグラフ図である。図4の縦軸は、照度(lx)を示し、横軸は、照明装置7の筐体71の天井部に設けられたLED72(=光源)から、照明装置7の下方向の距離であり、図4では、縦の長さ(=高さ)が500(mm)の照明装置7を使用した例を示している。 Next, a comparison is made between a case where tape is wrapped around the outer circumference of the lens 6 and a case where the LED lens cover 1 according to the first embodiment is placed over the lens 6. FIG. 4 is a graph showing the illuminance when tape is wrapped around the lens and when various LED lens covers 1 are placed over the lens. The vertical axis of FIG. 4 shows the illuminance (lx), and the horizontal axis shows the distance downward from the LED 72 (= light source) provided on the ceiling of the housing 71 of the lighting device 7 to the lighting device 7. FIG. 4 shows an example in which a lighting device 7 with a vertical length (= height) of 500 (mm) is used.

図4を見ると、LEDレンズカバー1の色がクリア(透明)の場合には、LED72付近の50(mm)の地点の照度が高い。レンズ6にテープを巻いた場合には、LED72から離れた450(mm)の地点の照度が高い。LEDレンズカバー1の色が薄い白色や濃い白色の場合、概ね、レンズ6にテープを巻いた場合と同様に、照度を抑えることができている。但し、LEDレンズカバー1の色が濃い白色の場合の方が、より照度を抑えることができている。なお、テープを巻いた場合、各種のLEDレンズカバー1を被せた場合のいずれも、350(mm)離れた地点から、照度が上昇している。これは、LED72の光が、照明装置7の筐体71の底部で反射しているからである。 As can be seen from FIG. 4, when the LED lens cover 1 is clear (transparent), the illuminance is high at a point 50 mm away from the LED 72. When tape is wrapped around the lens 6, the illuminance is high at a point 450 mm away from the LED 72. When the LED lens cover 1 is light white or dark white, the illuminance can be suppressed roughly in the same way as when tape is wrapped around the lens 6. However, when the LED lens cover 1 is dark white, the illuminance can be suppressed even more. Note that when tape is wrapped around the lens 6 and when various LED lens covers 1 are used, the illuminance increases from a point 350 mm away. This is because the light from the LED 72 is reflected off the bottom of the housing 71 of the lighting device 7.

このように、レンズ6にLEDレンズカバー1を被せることによって、レンズ6にテープを巻いた場合と同様に、LED72の側面から漏れる光や漏れ方を調整し、LED72の側面や側面後方に対応する両透光表示板73に適切に光を照射することができる。また、作業者等のユーザは、簡易な作業で、LED72のレンズ6に簡単にLEDレンズカバー1を被せることができるため、作業時間や作業の手間を省くことができ、便宜である。 In this way, by covering the lens 6 with the LED lens cover 1, the amount of light leaking from the side of the LED 72 and the manner in which it leaks can be adjusted, just as in the case of wrapping tape around the lens 6, and light can be appropriately irradiated onto both translucent display plates 73 corresponding to the side and rear side of the LED 72. In addition, a worker or other user can easily cover the lens 6 of the LED 72 with the LED lens cover 1 with a simple procedure, which saves work time and effort, making it convenient.

以上、この発明の好ましい実施の形態例について述べたが、この発明に係る照明装置用の制御回路は上述した実施の形態例にのみ限定されるものではなく、この発明の範囲で種々の変更実施が可能であるのは言うまでもない。 The above describes a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but it goes without saying that the control circuit for a lighting device according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention.
