Description

LED lighting apparatus using aspherical lens emitting light by side light source {LED lighting apparatus using aspherics}

The present invention relates to an LED lighting apparatus using an aspherical lens that emits light by a side light source. In detail, the present invention proposes a configuration in which an LED applied as a light source for emitting light when the indirect lighting type lighting device is implemented can be disposed to the outside of the case as much as possible so that heat can be conducted to the outside. LEDs using aspherical lens which emit light by side light source to improve heat dissipation efficiency by greatly reducing, and at the same time reduce the amount of material used, and thus lighten the device and block the thermal shear to the driving part to stabilize the driving part. It relates to a lighting device.

In addition, the present invention is to improve the brightness characteristics of the light emitted through the lens or the light guide plate by applying the lens or the light guide plate to which the aspheric lens is applied to concentrate the light to be implemented indirect lighting method. The present invention relates to an LED lighting device using an aspherical lens that emits light by a side light source.

Lighting equipment for realizing the main lighting of the room has various forms. In particular, the light produced by a fluorescent lamp or a halogen lamp is exposed to the outside by the fluorescent lamp or the halogen lamp itself to illuminate the room by the light irradiated from the fluorescent lamp or the halogen lamp, or the front of the light emitted by the fluorescent lamp or the halogen lamp. The cover is arranged to allow the user to illuminate the room with the desired color or brightness of the light.

Such lighting methods are classified into direct lighting methods, and the amount of power consumed in the case of fluorescent lamps or halogen lamps is high, and it is difficult to satisfy the demands of various consumer lighting colors, and the lighting fixture itself is the size of fluorescent lamps or halogen lamps. Due to the large size, due to the large amount of inconvenience caused by the interior, exterior interior lighting, etc. are generated.

Therefore, conventionally, the lighting apparatus using the fluorescent lamp or the halogen lamp as a light source has been replaced by a configuration in which the LED is used as the light source. That is, such an LED light source consumes less power and can produce various colors of illumination, and in particular, due to the size of the LED device, a small lighting device can be manufactured.

Therefore, the luminaire using the LED light source is in the spotlight as a next-generation lighting that is applied to interior lighting or various products in the room.

In particular, the LED lighting device as described above, the light emitted from the LED light source, which is not a direct lighting method such as a fluorescent lamp or a halogen, is incident into the lens or the light guide plate, and the light is scattered and reflected from the inside to be irradiated in a desired direction. It is advantageous to manufacture by indirect lighting method.

Such indirect lighting is generally applied to various interior lighting because it is a soft light that is surface-emitted on the lens or the light guide plate.

In the indirect lighting method, the light source is disposed on one side or both sides of the lens or the light guide plate for performing surface emission, and when the light incident from the light source enters the lens or the light guide plate, the light is emitted from the inside of the lens or the light guide plate. This scattering and reflection causes light to be emitted to the exit surface of the lens or light guide plate.

Here, the lens and the light guide plate are made of a synthetic resin material for transmitting light at a constant transmittance and reflectance, the shape of which is formed in the form of a substantially rectangular plate body. In addition, the lens and the light guide plate are configured to reflect the light incident on the opposite side of the exit surface to the exit surface side is configured to maximize the reflection efficiency of the light.

In the conventional indirect lighting type lighting apparatus as described above, when the LED is applied, considerable heat is generated due to device characteristics when the LED is driven. Such heat mainly provides adverse effects on the LEDs mounted on the printed circuit board and various elements for driving the LEDs, thereby exposing problems of causing malfunction of the LED circuits.

In addition, in the above lighting apparatus, since the reflective layer of the lens or the light guide plate is formed in a plane, a dark region is formed on one side of the light guide plate (for one light source) or the center side of the light guide plate (for both light sources). Therefore, the problem that light of uniform brightness is not emitted to the entire surface is exposed.

The present invention has been invented to solve the above problems.

In this case, the reflective surface is formed by depositing a reflective film or coating a reflective paint.

The present invention has the following configuration to achieve the second object.

According to the present invention, the lens surface is formed to be inclined toward the exit surface from the end where the light source is arranged starting from the center of the lens or the light guide plate and is rounded, or the round shape of the same gradient protrudes on both sides of the cross section from the center of the lens or the light guide plate. Is formed.

Alternatively, the exit surface is formed with a protruding lens surface for converging the light exiting through the exit surface, the protruding lens surface may be formed to have a curvature protruding toward the center from the outer peripheral end of the lens or light guide plate. have.

As described above, the present invention is configured so that the arrangement of the LED in the indirect lighting method of illumination device can be arranged to the outside of the case as much as possible to minimize the malfunction of the device by heat dissipation more quickly. You get an effect. In addition, the present invention has the effect of greatly simplifying the configuration and by installing a heat dissipation member in the lateral direction of a relatively thin lens or light guide plate to reduce the amount of heat dissipation material to reduce the manufacturing cost according to material savings. At the same time, the present invention can obtain the driving stability of the device because it can block the heat transfer to the drive unit disposed mainly on the upper side by the lateral arrangement of the LED.

In addition, the present invention improves the luminance of light emitted through the exit surface and the entire area of the exit surface by allowing the light incident from the light source on the side surface to be emitted and concentrated by the configuration of the aspherical lens part. The effect can be obtained evenly over.
