(Third Embodiment)

Next, a socket according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the socket according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is an exploded view of the socket according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a socket according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the external appearance of the ion generator of the socket according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 15 is a partially cut perspective view of a socket ion generator according to a third embodiment of the present invention. [0032] More specifically, the lamp socket 301 according to the present embodiment includes a socket body 330 for connecting a fluorescent lamp 302 or a light bulb 303 and a lower end of the socket body 330, as shown in FIG. And an electrode part 340 provided with a base 308 and a cylindrical outer frame 320 covering the outer peripheral surface of the socket body 330. The socket body 330, the outer frame 320, and the electrode section 340 are separately formed, assembled, and integrated.

[0033] The socket body 330 includes a lamp connection part 306a having a lamp connection surface 306 for detachably connecting the lamp, and a circuit storage part 330a for storing various circuits. The fluorescent lamp 302 or the electric bulb 303 can be selected and connected to the lamp connection surface 306. That is, the lamp connection surface 306 is provided with a fluorescent lamp mounting port 307 having a terminal for electrically connecting the fluorescent lamp 302, and a light bulb mounting port 306b for mounting the base of the light bulb 303. . Further, a projection 304 to which the base of the fluorescent lamp 302 can be attached may be formed.

As shown in FIG. 13, the socket body 330 is provided with a negative ion generator 310 for generating negative ions (negative ions) below the bulb mounting port 306b. The negative ion generator 310 generates negative ions when the fluorescent lamp 302 or the bulb 303 is mounted on the socket body 330 and the electrode section 340 is connected to a power supply.

The socket body 330 is provided with a vent 305 for discharging negative ions generated from the negative ion generator 310. The vent 305 communicates with a vent 320a formed in the outer frame 320. Thus, negative ions generated from the negative ion generator 310 can be released to the outside through the vent 305 and the vent 320a. Further, the vent 305 is formed between the lamp connection part 306a and the circuit housing part 330a. As a result, the heat generated by the negative ion generator 310 and the heat generated by the lamp connection portion 306a can be released to the outside through the vent 305, and the heat generated by the negative ion generator 310 Heat generated at the lamp connection part 306a can be cut off from the circuit housing part 330a.

[0036] The outer frame 320 is screwed to the outer peripheral surface of the upper edge portion of the circuit housing portion 330a of the socket body 330 by forming a screw 314. Thus, the outer frame 320 can be easily removed from the socket body 330. Also, the outer frame 320 can be easily removed from the socket body 330, By using the socket 301 for a long time, foreign substances such as dust and dirt adhering to the vent 305 of the socket body 330 can be easily removed.

[0037] Also, inside the circuit housing 330a of the socket body 330, there are circuits in each of which electronic components are mounted in two upper and lower stages, such as a fluorescent lamp lighting circuit 315 and a negative ion generating circuit 316. A plate-like electronic circuit board is mounted. These are driven by a power supply connected via the electrode section 340.

[0038] Further, since the vent 305 of the socket body 330 is provided above the circuit housing part 330a, the heat generated by the circuit housing part 330a can also be released from the vent 305 of the socket body 330. . Further, a heat release hole 309 for releasing heat generated from each of the circuits 315 and 316 is provided below the side surface of the electrode portion 340 connected to the lower end of the circuit storage portion 330a. The heat generated by the upper negative ion generating circuit 316 is easily released from the ventilation port 305, and the heat generated by the lower fluorescent lamp lighting circuit 315 is easily released from the heat releasing hole 309. As described above, heat generated from each of the circuits 315 and 316 can be released from both the ventilation port 305 of the socket body 330 and the heat release hole 309 of the electrode section 340, so that the heat release efficiency is good.

Here, the configuration of the negative ion generator 310 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 14 shows an example of a configuration in which, for example, a cylindrical negative ion generator is mounted on a lamp socket according to the present embodiment. FIG. 15 is a sectional view of the negative ion generator 310 shown in FIG. The negative ion generator 310 includes a cylindrical positive electrode 311 and a rod-shaped negative electrode 312 disposed in the axial direction of the positive electrode 311. Vent holes 305 serving as negative ion discharge ports are formed at both ends of the negative ion generator 310 around the longitudinal axis of the socket body 330. The negative electrode 312 is provided facing the ventilation holes 305 at both ends of the negative ion generator 310. As a result, negative ions are emitted not only from one direction of the negative ion generator 310 but also from both ends (left and right in FIG. 14).

[0040] Further, for example, a disc-shaped insulator 313 is interposed between the negative electrode 312 and the positive electrode 311 so that the negative ions are released smoothly. Also, a cylindrical insulator 313 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the plus electrode 311 so as to cover the outer peripheral surface. This Thus, the discharge of the negative electrode 312 and the positive electrode 311 can be performed only inside the negative ion generator 310, and the negative ions can be efficiently discharged. The electrodes 311 and 312 may be made of copper, brass, aluminum, or the like, through which electricity passes well.

[0041] The electrode section 340 is connectable to a power supply, for example, a power supply via a base 308, and the electrode section 340 is connected to the bulb mounting port 306b. Thus, when the bulb 303 is used, the bulb is turned on by the power supply connected via the electrode section 340 by connecting the bulb 303 to the bulb mounting port 306b.

[0042] The electrode section 340 is connected to a fluorescent lamp mounting port 307 via a fluorescent lamp lighting circuit 315. Thus, when the fluorescent lamp 302 is used, by connecting the fluorescent lamp 302 to the fluorescent lamp mounting port 307, the current from the power supply is converted to the current for lighting the fluorescent lamp 302 by the fluorescent lamp lighting circuit 315. It is converted and the fluorescent lamp lights up. The fluorescent lamp lighting circuit 315 is in a no-load state when the fluorescent lamp 302 is not mounted, and does not consume electricity.

The electrode section 340 is connected to a negative ion generator 310 via a negative ion generating circuit 316. As a result, the negative ion generator 310 operates together with the supply of power to the socket 301 to release negative ions. That is, the negative ion generating circuit 316 converts the voltage of the power supply into a high voltage by the amplifier and supplies it to the negative ion generator 310 to generate negative ions.

As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can conceive various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, and those changes naturally fall within the technical scope of the present invention. Perceived to belong Industrial availability

The present invention is applicable to a socket for connecting a lamp such as a fluorescent lamp or a light bulb.
