Description

LED照明装置LED lighting device
 本発明は、たとえば天井に取り付けられて用いられるLED照明装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an LED lighting device used by being attached to a ceiling, for example.
 図40は、従来のLED照明装置の一例を示している。同図に示されたLED照明装置90は、天井600に取り付けられた状態でダウンライトとして用いられる。LED照明装置90は、ケース92と、当該ケース92内に収容された複数のLEDモジュール93及び電源部94とを有する。LEDモジュール93からの光は、リフレクタ91によって指向性を高められた後に室内の床面に向けて照射される。電源部94は、たとえば商用の交流100V電力を直流24V電力に変換し、LEDモジュール93に供給する。 FIG. 40 shows an example of a conventional LED lighting device. The LED lighting device 90 shown in the figure is used as a downlight while attached to the ceiling 600. The LED lighting device 90 includes a case 92 and a plurality of LED modules 93 and a power supply unit 94 housed in the case 92. The light from the LED module 93 is radiated toward the indoor floor after the directivity is enhanced by the reflector 91. The power supply unit 94 converts, for example, commercial AC 100V power into DC 24V power and supplies the converted power to the LED module 93.
 LED照明装置90は、電源部94を収容するケース92が、光照射方向においてLEDモジュール93の反対側に突出しており、高さが比較的高い。このため、LED照明装置90を天井600に好適に取り付けるためには、天井600に開口100を形成し天井600の内部にLED照明装置90を埋め込む必要がある。このような取り付け作業は手間がかかる。また、いったん開口100を設けた後には、LED照明装置90の取り付け位置を変更することは非常に困難である。また、天井600の内部に強固な梁があった場合、所望の位置に開口100を設けることができず、従って、所望の位置にLED照明装置90を取り付けることができない。 In the LED lighting device 90, the case 92 that houses the power supply unit 94 projects to the opposite side of the LED module 93 in the light irradiation direction, and the height is relatively high. For this reason, in order to suitably attach the LED lighting device 90 to the ceiling 600, it is necessary to form the opening 100 in the ceiling 600 and embed the LED lighting device 90 in the ceiling 600. Such an installation work is troublesome. Further, once the opening 100 is provided, it is very difficult to change the mounting position of the LED lighting device 90. Further, when there is a strong beam inside the ceiling 600, the opening 100 cannot be provided at a desired position, and therefore the LED lighting device 90 cannot be attached at the desired position.

As shown in FIG. 10, the LED substrate 2 includes a base material 21 and a wiring pattern 22 formed on the base material 21. The base material 21 is made of, for example, a glass epoxy resin having a relatively good thermal conductivity by mixing a filler having a high thermal conductivity. The wiring pattern 22 is for electrically connecting the plurality of LED modules 3 to each other. The plurality of LED modules 3 are mounted in a substantially circular region having a diameter of about 50 to 60 mm, for example.
 図11および図12に示すように、各LEDモジュール3は、LEDチップ31、樹脂パッケージ32、基板33、および1対の実装端子34を備えている。LEDモジュール3は、幅が0.8mm、長さが1.6mm、厚さが0.5mm程度の小型かつ非常に薄型のLEDモジュールである。 11 and 12, each LED module 3 includes an LED chip 31, a resin package 32, a substrate 33, and a pair of mounting terminals 34. The LED module 3 is a small and very thin LED module having a width of 0.8 mm, a length of 1.6 mm, and a thickness of about 0.5 mm.
 基板33は、たとえばガラスエポキシ樹脂からなる平面視略矩形状の絶縁基板である。LEDチップ31は基板33の表面に搭載されており、1対の実装端子34は基板33の裏面に形成されている。基板33の厚さは、0.08~0.1mm程度である。LEDチップ31は、LEDモジュール3の光源であり、たとえば可視光を出射可能である。樹脂パッケージ32は、LEDチップ31を保護する。樹脂パッケージ32は、たとえばエポキシ樹脂等の、LEDチップ31からの光を透過する樹脂を成形することによって形成される。あるいは、樹脂パッケージ32は、LEDチップ31からの光によって励起されると異なる波長の光を発する蛍光物質を含む透光樹脂を成形することによって形成してもよい。たとえば、LEDチップ31からの青色光と、樹脂パッケージ32に含まれる蛍光物質からの黄色光とを混合することにより、LEDモジュール3は、白色光を出射することができる。黄色光を発する蛍光物質に代えて、赤色光を発する蛍光物質と緑色光を発する蛍光物質とを混合して用いてもよい。 The substrate 33 is an insulating substrate having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view made of, for example, glass epoxy resin. The LED chip 31 is mounted on the front surface of the substrate 33, and a pair of mounting terminals 34 are formed on the back surface of the substrate 33. The thickness of the substrate 33 is about 0.08 to 0.1 mm. The LED chip 31 is a light source of the LED module 3 and can emit visible light, for example. The resin package 32 protects the LED chip 31. The resin package 32 is formed by molding a resin that transmits light from the LED chip 31, such as an epoxy resin. Alternatively, the resin package 32 may be formed by molding a translucent resin containing a fluorescent material that emits light of a different wavelength when excited by light from the LED chip 31. For example, the LED module 3 can emit white light by mixing blue light from the LED chip 31 and yellow light from the fluorescent material included in the resin package 32. Instead of the fluorescent substance that emits yellow light, a fluorescent substance that emits red light and a fluorescent substance that emits green light may be mixed and used.
 本実施形態においては、603個のLEDモジュール3が、LED基板2上に千鳥状に配置されている。LEDモジュール3を発光させるには、各LEDチップ31に電圧Vfが3.0V程度、電流Ifが4.0mA程度印加される。それぞれが点光源として機能する複数のLEDモジュール3を高密度に実装することにより、当該LEDモジュール3が実装された領域は面状光源部を構成している。 In the present embodiment, 603 LED modules 3 are arranged on the LED substrate 2 in a staggered manner. In order to cause the LED module 3 to emit light, a voltage Vf of about 3.0 V and a current If of about 4.0 mA are applied to each LED chip 31. By mounting a plurality of LED modules 3 each functioning as a point light source at a high density, the area in which the LED modules 3 are mounted constitutes a planar light source unit.
 図2、図3および図9に示すように、LED基板2は、裏ケース1Bの搭載台12に取り付けられる。具体的には、LED基板2おける、LEDモジュール3を支持している面とは反対側の面が、搭載台12の搭載面12aに取り付けられる。図1に示すように、LEDモジュール3は、開口11を介して外部に臨んでいる。 As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, the LED substrate 2 is attached to the mounting base 12 of the back case 1B. Specifically, the surface of the LED substrate 2 opposite to the surface supporting the LED module 3 is attached to the mounting surface 12 a of the mounting base 12. As shown in FIG. 1, the LED module 3 faces the outside through the opening 11.
 電源部4は、たとえば商用の交流100V電力を直流24V電力に変換し、複数のLEDモジュール3に供給する。本実施形態においては、電源部4は、図14に示すような第1ユニット41および図13に示すような第2ユニット42によって構成されている。 The power supply unit 4 converts, for example, commercial AC 100V power into DC 24V power, and supplies it to the plurality of LED modules 3. In the present embodiment, the power supply unit 4 includes a first unit 41 as shown in FIG. 14 and a second unit 42 as shown in FIG.
 図14に示すように、第1ユニット41は、第1電源基板411および複数の電気部品412からなる。第1電源基板411は、平面視略矩形状であり、たとえばガラスエポキシ樹脂からなる。第1電源基板411には、切り欠き411aが形成されている。複数の電気部品412は、電源部4の機能を実現するための構成部品である。複数の電気部品412のうち、電気部品412Aは、コンデンサである。コンデンサ412Aは本体412Aaおよびリード412Abを有する。本体412Aaは、細長の円柱形状である。リード412Abは、本体412Aaから突出している。本実施形態においては、本体412Aaは、その長軸が第1電源基板411と平行に延びるように実装されており、その一部が切り欠き411aに収容されている。図3に示すように、リード412Abは略直角に折り曲げられており、その先端が、たとえばハンダ付けによって、第1電源基板411に接合されている。電気部品412Aは、本発明で言う細長状電気部品の一例である。図14に示す電気部品412Bは、サージアブソーバであり、過大な電圧から他の電気部品412,422を保護する機能を果たす。 As shown in FIG. 14, the first unit 41 includes a first power supply board 411 and a plurality of electrical components 412. The first power supply substrate 411 has a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and is made of, for example, a glass epoxy resin. A cutout 411 a is formed in the first power supply substrate 411. The plurality of electrical components 412 are components for realizing the function of the power supply unit 4. Of the plurality of electrical components 412, the electrical component 412A is a capacitor. The capacitor 412A has a main body 412Aa and a lead 412Ab. The main body 412Aa has an elongated cylindrical shape. The lead 412Ab protrudes from the main body 412Aa. In the present embodiment, the main body 412Aa is mounted such that its long axis extends in parallel with the first power supply substrate 411, and a part thereof is accommodated in the notch 411a. As shown in FIG. 3, the lead 412Ab is bent at a substantially right angle, and the tip thereof is joined to the first power supply substrate 411 by soldering, for example. The electrical component 412A is an example of an elongated electrical component referred to in the present invention. An electrical component 412B shown in FIG. 14 is a surge absorber and functions to protect other electrical components 412 and 422 from an excessive voltage.
 図13に示すように、第2ユニット42は、第2電源基板421および複数の電気部品422からなる。第2電源基板421は、平面視略六角形状であり、たとえばガラスエポキシ樹脂からなる。複数の電気部品422のうち、電気部品422Aはコイルであり、電気部品422Bはスイッチング用途に用いられるパワーMOSFETであり、電気部品422Cは、LEDモジュール3を駆動するためのドライバICである。 As shown in FIG. 13, the second unit 42 includes a second power supply board 421 and a plurality of electrical components 422. Second power supply substrate 421 has a substantially hexagonal shape in plan view, and is made of, for example, glass epoxy resin. Of the plurality of electrical components 422, the electrical component 422A is a coil, the electrical component 422B is a power MOSFET used for switching purposes, and the electrical component 422C is a driver IC for driving the LED module 3.
 図2、図3および図8に示すように、第1ユニット41および第2ユニット42は、ケース1の第1電源収容部131及び第2電源収容部132にそれぞれ収容されている。したがって、第1ユニット41及び第2ユニット42は、複数のLEDモジュール3(搭載台12)を挟んでケース1の対角線方向において互いに反対側に配置されている。 As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 8, the first unit 41 and the second unit 42 are accommodated in the first power supply accommodating portion 131 and the second power supply accommodating portion 132 of the case 1, respectively. Therefore, the first unit 41 and the second unit 42 are arranged on opposite sides in the diagonal direction of the case 1 with the plurality of LED modules 3 (mounting base 12) interposed therebetween.
 透光板5は、半透明、もしくは透明なガラス板からなり、LEDモジュール3からの光を透過させる。図3に示すように、透光板5は、開口11とLED基板2との間に設けられている。 The translucent plate 5 is made of a translucent or transparent glass plate and transmits light from the LED module 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the translucent plate 5 is provided between the opening 11 and the LED substrate 2.
 次に、LED照明装置A1の作用について説明する。 Next, the operation of the LED lighting device A1 will be described.
 本実施形態によれば、電源部4が複数のLEDモジュール3に対してLED基板2の面内方向に並んで配置されている。このような配置により、LED照明装置A1を、平面視サイズ98mm角程度、高さ16mm程度の非常に扁平な形状にすることができる。したがって、図3に示すように、LED照明装置A1は、天井600に開口などを設けることなく取り付けることが可能である。したがって、LED照明装置A1の取り付け作業は容易に行うことができる。また、いったん取り付けた後でも、LED照明装置A1の取り付け位置を比較的簡易な作業によって変更することができる。 According to the present embodiment, the power supply unit 4 is arranged side by side in the in-plane direction of the LED substrate 2 with respect to the plurality of LED modules 3. With such an arrangement, the LED lighting device A1 can be formed into a very flat shape having a size of about 98 mm square in plan view and a height of about 16 mm. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the LED lighting device A1 can be attached without providing an opening or the like in the ceiling 600. Therefore, the mounting operation of the LED lighting device A1 can be easily performed. Moreover, even after once attaching, the attachment position of LED lighting apparatus A1 can be changed by a comparatively simple operation | work.
 電源部4を、第1ユニット41および第2ユニット42によって構成することにより、電源部4を、複数のLEDモジュール3を挟むように、平面視において比較的コンパクトに配置することが可能である。これは、LED照明装置A1の小型化に資する。 By configuring the power supply unit 4 with the first unit 41 and the second unit 42, the power supply unit 4 can be disposed relatively compactly in plan view so as to sandwich the plurality of LED modules 3. This contributes to downsizing of the LED lighting device A1.
 細長である電気部品412Aを第1電源基板411に対して平行に配置することにより、LED照明装置A1の高さを小さくすることができる。第1電源基板411の切り欠き411aに電気部品412Aの一部を収容することにより、LED照明装置A1の小型化をさらに促進することができる。 By disposing the elongated electrical component 412A in parallel to the first power supply substrate 411, the height of the LED lighting device A1 can be reduced. By accommodating a part of the electrical component 412A in the notch 411a of the first power supply board 411, the downsizing of the LED lighting device A1 can be further promoted.
 複数のLEDモジュール3から発生した熱は、搭載台12へと速やかに伝達される。これにより、複数のLEDモジュール3が高温によって劣化してしまうことを回避することができる。裏ケース1Bの裏面スリット14は、搭載台12に伝えられた熱を、外部へと放散するのに好適である。特に、LED照明装置A1が天井600に取り付けられた際、裏面スリット14は、天井600と裏ケース1Bとの間に外気を導入する機能を果たす。これは、効率的な放熱に資する。 The heat generated from the plurality of LED modules 3 is quickly transmitted to the mounting table 12. Thereby, it can avoid that the some LED module 3 deteriorates by high temperature. The back slit 14 of the back case 1B is suitable for dissipating the heat transmitted to the mounting base 12 to the outside. In particular, when the LED lighting device A1 is attached to the ceiling 600, the back slit 14 functions to introduce outside air between the ceiling 600 and the back case 1B. This contributes to efficient heat dissipation.
 裏面スリット14は、平面視において、第1電源収容凹部131Bおよび第2電源収容凹部132Bとは重ならない位置に設けられている。裏面スリット14を平面視において第1電源収容凹部131B及び第2電源収容凹部132Bと重なる位置に形成しようとすると、裏ケース1Bはそれだけ大きな厚みを有する必要があり、LED照明装置A1の高さの増加につながる。裏面スリット14が第1電源収容凹部131Bおよび第2電源収容凹部132Bとは重ならない本実施例の構成は、LED照明装置A1の高さを小さくするのに適している。 The back slit 14 is provided at a position that does not overlap the first power supply recess 131B and the second power supply recess 132B in plan view. If the back slit 14 is to be formed at a position overlapping the first power supply recess 131B and the second power supply recess 132B in plan view, the back case 1B needs to have a large thickness, and the height of the LED lighting device A1 is high. Leads to an increase. The configuration of the present embodiment in which the rear slit 14 does not overlap the first power supply receiving recess 131B and the second power supply receiving recess 132B is suitable for reducing the height of the LED lighting device A1.
 図15~図23は、本発明の第2実施形態に基づくLED照明装置を示している。本実施形態のLED照明装置A2は、内部スリット15を有している点および裏面スリット14の配置が上述した実施形態とは異なっている。なお、これらの図において、上記実施形態と同一または類似の要素には、上記実施形態と同一の符号を付している。 15 to 23 show an LED lighting device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The LED lighting device A2 of the present embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in that it has an internal slit 15 and the arrangement of the back slit 14. In these drawings, the same or similar elements as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the above embodiment.
 図15に示すように、ケース1には、ケース1の側面から内部に向かって延びる複数の内部スリット15が形成されている。図19に示すように、表ケース1Aには、複数の半スリット15Aが形成されている。半スリット15Aは、開口11、第1電源収容凹部131Aおよび第2電源収容凹部132Aを避けた位置に設けられている。半スリット15Aは、表ケース1Aの対角線方向において開口11の両側に分割して配置されている。各半スリット15Aは、幅が2.5mm程度、深さが4.6mm程度である。図20に示すように、裏ケース1Bには、複数の半スリット15Bが形成されている。半スリット15Bは、裏ケース1Bにおける、搭載台12、第1電源収容凹部131Bおよび第2電源収容凹部132Bを避けた位置に設けられている。半スリット15Bは、裏ケース1Bの対角線方向において搭載台12の両側に分割して配置されている。各半スリット15Bは、幅が2.5mm程度、深さが5mm程度である。 As shown in FIG. 15, the case 1 is formed with a plurality of internal slits 15 extending from the side surface of the case 1 toward the inside. As shown in FIG. 19, a plurality of half slits 15A are formed in the front case 1A. The half slit 15A is provided at a position avoiding the opening 11, the first power supply accommodating recess 131A, and the second power supply accommodating recess 132A. The half slits 15A are divided and arranged on both sides of the opening 11 in the diagonal direction of the front case 1A. Each half slit 15A has a width of about 2.5 mm and a depth of about 4.6 mm. As shown in FIG. 20, a plurality of half slits 15B are formed in the back case 1B. The half slit 15B is provided at a position on the back case 1B away from the mounting base 12, the first power supply accommodating recess 131B, and the second power supply accommodating recess 132B. The half slits 15B are divided and arranged on both sides of the mounting base 12 in the diagonal direction of the back case 1B. Each half slit 15B has a width of about 2.5 mm and a depth of about 5 mm.
 図15、図16、図19および図20から理解されるように、半スリット15Aと半スリット15Bとは、表ケース1Aと裏ケース1Bとを合体させた時に、重なり合うように構成されている。半スリット15Aと半スリット15Bとの結合によって、内部スリット15が構成される。 As can be understood from FIGS. 15, 16, 19, and 20, the half slit 15A and the half slit 15B are configured to overlap when the front case 1A and the back case 1B are combined. The internal slit 15 is configured by the combination of the half slit 15A and the half slit 15B.
 図21に示すように、本実施形態においては、裏面スリット14が、搭載台12の裏面にも形成されている。すべての裏面スリット14は、裏ケース1Bの対角線方向に延びる。 As shown in FIG. 21, in the present embodiment, the back surface slit 14 is also formed on the back surface of the mounting table 12. All the back slits 14 extend in the diagonal direction of the back case 1B.
 本実施形態によっても、天井600に開口などを設けることなくLED照明装置A2を取り付けることが可能である。したがって、LED照明装置A2の取り付け作業は容易に行うことができる。また、いったん取り付けた後でも、LED照明装置A2の取り付け位置を比較的簡易な作業によって変更することができる。 Also according to this embodiment, it is possible to attach the LED lighting device A2 without providing an opening or the like in the ceiling 600. Therefore, the attaching operation of the LED lighting device A2 can be easily performed. Moreover, even after once attaching, the attachment position of LED lighting apparatus A2 can be changed by a comparatively simple operation | work.
 また、内部スリット15を設けることにより、外部への放熱をさらに促進することができる。内部スリット15は、搭載台12および電源部4を避けた位置に設けられているため、LED照明装置A2の高さを大きくすることなく放熱を促進することができる。搭載台12の裏側に裏面スリット14を設けたことによっても、搭載台12に伝わった熱をより効率良く放散させることができる。 Also, by providing the internal slit 15, heat radiation to the outside can be further promoted. Since the internal slit 15 is provided at a position that avoids the mounting base 12 and the power supply unit 4, heat dissipation can be promoted without increasing the height of the LED lighting device A <b> 2. By providing the back surface slit 14 on the back side of the mounting table 12, the heat transmitted to the mounting table 12 can be dissipated more efficiently.
 図24~図29は、本発明の第3実施形態に基づくLED照明装置を示している。本実施形態のLED照明装置A3は、2つのコネクタ43が設けられている点、及び、ケース1に2つのコネクタ収容部133が形成されている点が上述した実施形態と異なっている。 24 to 29 show an LED illumination device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The LED lighting device A3 of the present embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in that two connectors 43 are provided and two connector housings 133 are formed in the case 1.
 図25に示すように、本実施形態の表ケース1Aは、表面側から見た際には、上述した実施形態の表ケース1Aと同様の形状を有する。図26に示すように、表ケース1Aには、2つのコネクタ収容凹部133Aが形成されている。各コネクタ収容凹部133Aは、図29に示すコネクタ43をちょうど収容する大きさを有する。2つのコネクタ収容凹部133Aは、表ケース1Aにおける1つの角部を形成している2つの辺に沿って、当該角部の近傍に配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 25, the front case 1A of the present embodiment has the same shape as the front case 1A of the above-described embodiment when viewed from the front side. As shown in FIG. 26, two connector housing recesses 133A are formed in the front case 1A. Each connector housing recess 133A has a size that just houses the connector 43 shown in FIG. The two connector housing recesses 133A are arranged in the vicinity of the corners along two sides forming one corner of the front case 1A.
 図27に示すように、裏ケース1Bには、2つのコネクタ収容凹部133Bが形成されている。各コネクタ収容凹部133Bは、図29に示すコネクタ43をちょうど収容する大きさを有する。2つのコネクタ収容凹部133Bは、裏ケース1Bにおける1つの角部を形成している2つの辺に沿って、当該角部の近傍に配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 27, two connector housing recesses 133B are formed in the back case 1B. Each connector housing recess 133B has a size that just houses the connector 43 shown in FIG. The two connector housing recesses 133B are arranged in the vicinity of the corners along two sides forming one corner of the back case 1B.
 各コネクタ収容部133は、コネクタ収容凹部133Aとコネクタ収容凹部133Bとを結合することにより構成されている。図24に示すように、ケース1には、さらにケーブル開口16が形成されている。ケーブル開口16は、2つのコネクタ凹部133A及び133Bを露出させており、外部からのケーブル700をコネクタ収容部133内のコネクタ43に接続することを可能にしている。 Each connector accommodating part 133 is comprised by combining the connector accommodating recessed part 133A and the connector accommodating recessed part 133B. As shown in FIG. 24, a cable opening 16 is further formed in the case 1. The cable opening 16 exposes the two connector recesses 133 </ b> A and 133 </ b> B, and allows the cable 700 from the outside to be connected to the connector 43 in the connector housing portion 133.
 図29に示すように、本実施形態におけるLED基板2および電源部4は、図9に示したものと同様に配置される。各コネクタ43はコネクタ収容凹部133B(コネクタ収容部133)に収容され、ケーブル44を介して電源部4(第1ユニット41又は第2ユニット42)に接続されている。 As shown in FIG. 29, the LED substrate 2 and the power supply unit 4 in the present embodiment are arranged in the same manner as shown in FIG. Each connector 43 is housed in a connector housing recess 133 </ b> B (connector housing portion 133), and is connected to the power supply unit 4 (first unit 41 or second unit 42) via a cable 44.
 本実施形態によっても、天井600に開口などを設けることなくLED照明装置A3を取り付けることが可能である。したがって、LED照明装置A3の取り付け作業は容易に行うことができる。また、本実施形態のLED照明装置A3では、ケーブル700を装置の側方から差し込むことができる。このため、ケーブル700を天井600に沿わせることが可能であり、ケーブル700を通すための穴を天井600に形成する必要が無い。 Also according to this embodiment, it is possible to attach the LED lighting device A3 without providing an opening or the like in the ceiling 600. Therefore, the attaching operation of the LED lighting device A3 can be easily performed. Moreover, in LED lighting apparatus A3 of this embodiment, the cable 700 can be inserted from the side of an apparatus. For this reason, the cable 700 can be routed along the ceiling 600, and there is no need to form a hole in the ceiling 600 for passing the cable 700.
 図30は、LED照明装置A1~A3の変形例を示している。この変形例においては、LED照明装置A1~A3を収容するカバー51をさらに備えている。カバー51は、全体として平面視矩形状で比較的高さの低い箱状である。カバー51には、LEDモジュール3からの光を通す円形の開口51aが形成されている。カバー51の上端縁は、天井600に接するか、あるいはわずかな隙間を隔てて正対するように構成されている。カバー51は、開口51aが形成された平面部分と、この平面部分を囲む4つの斜面部分を有している。斜面部分の外面と天井600とは鈍角をなす。本実施形態においては、この鈍角は135度程度である。このような変形例によれば、放熱効果を促進するための裏面スリット14などが外部から見えない。したがって、本変形例によるLED照明装置は、カバーを備えないLED照明装置に比べて、天井600の外観をより良いものにすることができる。 FIG. 30 shows a modification of the LED lighting devices A1 to A3. In this modification, a cover 51 is further provided for housing the LED lighting devices A1 to A3. The cover 51 as a whole has a rectangular shape in plan view and a box shape with a relatively low height. The cover 51 is formed with a circular opening 51a through which light from the LED module 3 passes. The upper end edge of the cover 51 is configured to contact the ceiling 600 or to face each other with a slight gap. The cover 51 has a flat surface portion in which the opening 51a is formed and four slope portions surrounding the flat surface portion. The outer surface of the slope portion and the ceiling 600 form an obtuse angle. In the present embodiment, this obtuse angle is about 135 degrees. According to such a modification, the back slit 14 and the like for promoting the heat dissipation effect cannot be seen from the outside. Therefore, the LED illumination device according to this modification can make the appearance of the ceiling 600 better than the LED illumination device that does not include a cover.
 図31および図32は、LED照明装置A1~A3の他の変形例を示している。この変形例においては、LED照明装置A1~A3を収容するカバー51と、金具52とをさらに備えている。カバー51には、LEDモジュール3からの光を通す円形の開口51aが形成されている。カバー51は、埋設部51b及び額縁部51cを有している。埋設部51bは、LED照明装置A1~A3を囲んでいる。埋設部51bは、天井600の内部に埋め込まれる部分である。額縁部51cは平面視矩形のフレーム状であり、埋設部51bの周縁につながっている。額縁部51cは、天井600の表面に係合する部分である。金具52は、帯状の金属板を折り曲げ加工することによって形成されており、天井600からカバー51が抜け出ることを防止する。 31 and 32 show other modified examples of the LED illumination devices A1 to A3. In this modification, a cover 51 that houses the LED lighting devices A1 to A3 and a metal fitting 52 are further provided. The cover 51 is formed with a circular opening 51a through which light from the LED module 3 passes. The cover 51 has an embedded portion 51b and a frame portion 51c. The embedded portion 51b surrounds the LED lighting devices A1 to A3. The embedded part 51 b is a part embedded in the ceiling 600. The frame portion 51c has a rectangular frame shape in plan view, and is connected to the periphery of the embedded portion 51b. The frame portion 51 c is a portion that engages with the surface of the ceiling 600. The metal fitting 52 is formed by bending a band-shaped metal plate, and prevents the cover 51 from coming off from the ceiling 600.
 LED照明装置A1~A3は、上述したとおり比較的高さが低く、天井600に埋め込まれる埋設部51bの高さは、従来のダウンライトと比べると顕著に小さい。このため、LED照明装置を収容するために大きなスペースを天井600の内部に確保する必要は無い。したがって、同じ高さの建築物であっても、床面(図示略)と天井600との間に、より大きな距離を確保することができる。 As described above, the LED lighting devices A1 to A3 are relatively low in height, and the height of the embedded portion 51b embedded in the ceiling 600 is significantly smaller than that of a conventional downlight. For this reason, it is not necessary to ensure a large space inside the ceiling 600 in order to accommodate the LED lighting device. Therefore, even if the buildings have the same height, a larger distance can be ensured between the floor (not shown) and the ceiling 600.
 図33は、LED照明装置A1~A3の他の変形例を示している。この変形例においては、カバー51にリフレクタ51dが設けられている点が、上述した変形例と異なっている。リフレクタ51dは、パラボラ状であり、複数のLEDモジュール3からの光の指向性を高める。また、リフレクタ51dとLED照明装置A1~A3の間には、透光板53が配置されている。透光板53は、たとえばアクリル樹脂からなる。 FIG. 33 shows another modification of the LED lighting devices A1 to A3. This modification differs from the above-described modification in that a reflector 51d is provided on the cover 51. The reflector 51d has a parabolic shape and enhances the directivity of light from the plurality of LED modules 3. Further, a translucent plate 53 is disposed between the reflector 51d and the LED lighting devices A1 to A3. The translucent plate 53 is made of, for example, acrylic resin.
 このような変形例によるLED照明装置は、より指向性が高められた光を出射可能であり、たとえば床面のより狭い領域に集中的に光を照射することができる。また、リフレクタ51dを備えているものの、従来のダウンライトと比べると依然として高さが顕著に低い。このため、天井600の内部に大きな収容スペースを確保する必要が無い。 The LED illumination device according to such a modification can emit light with higher directivity, and can irradiate light intensively to a narrower area of the floor surface, for example. Although the reflector 51d is provided, the height is still significantly lower than the conventional downlight. For this reason, it is not necessary to secure a large accommodation space inside the ceiling 600.
