Description

LEDランプ及びそれを用いた照明器具LED lamp and lighting apparatus using the same
 本発明は、LEDランプを用いた照明器具に関し、特に、冷却ファンを備えたLEDランプ及びそれを用いた照明器具に関する。 The present invention relates to a lighting fixture using an LED lamp, and more particularly, to an LED lamp equipped with a cooling fan and a lighting fixture using the same.
 発光ダイオード(以下、LED:Light Emitting Diode)を光源とするLEDランプが広く普及している。近年、LEDランプの用途の拡大に伴って、LEDランプの高出力化及び高電力化が求められている。LEDランプは、放電ランプと比較して高い発光効率を有する利点があるが、LEDが高温化すると、発光効率が低下する欠点がある。そこで、LEDの高温化を防止するために様々な手段が講じられている。例えば、LEDを冷却するための冷却ファンを設ける。特許文献1には、密閉された外球内にLED素子とガス流加速用ファンを設けたLEDランプが開示されている。 LED lamps using light emitting diodes (hereinafter referred to as LEDs) as light sources are widely used. In recent years, with the expansion of the use of LED lamps, there is a demand for higher output and higher power of LED lamps. The LED lamp has an advantage of having a high luminous efficiency as compared with the discharge lamp, but has a disadvantage that the luminous efficiency is lowered when the LED is heated to a high temperature. Therefore, various measures have been taken to prevent the LED from becoming hot. For example, a cooling fan for cooling the LED is provided. Patent Document 1 discloses an LED lamp in which an LED element and a gas flow acceleration fan are provided in a sealed outer sphere.
 冷却ファンの性能が低下すると、LEDが高温化し発光効率が低下する。冷却ファンの性能低下は、モータの潤滑油の劣化に起因する場合が多い。潤滑油の劣化は高温では加速される。特許文献2には、冷却ファンの信頼性を向上させるための手段として空気制御部を設けたLED照明装置が記載されている。 ¡If the performance of the cooling fan decreases, the LED becomes hot and the luminous efficiency decreases. In many cases, the performance deterioration of the cooling fan is caused by the deterioration of the lubricating oil of the motor. The deterioration of the lubricating oil is accelerated at high temperatures. Patent Document 2 describes an LED lighting device provided with an air control unit as means for improving the reliability of a cooling fan.

 LED支持体11は、熱伝導性が高い金属、例えば、ステンレス鋼、アルミニウム合金、等によって構成され、ヒートシンクの機能を有する。LED支持体11の内部には軸線方向に沿って貫通孔111(図2A)が形成されている。この貫通孔の内面には、薄い板状の多数の放熱用のフィン113(図2A)が設けられている。フィン113は、貫通孔の軸線方向に沿って全長に渡って延びている。フィンの形状は特に限定されない。 The LED support 11 is made of a metal having high thermal conductivity, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, and has a heat sink function. A through hole 111 (FIG. 2A) is formed in the LED support 11 along the axial direction. A large number of thin plate-like heat radiation fins 113 (FIG. 2A) are provided on the inner surface of the through hole. The fin 113 extends over the entire length along the axial direction of the through hole. The shape of the fin is not particularly limited.
 図2Aは、本実施形態に係るLEDランプの主要部、特に、LED支持体11と冷却ファン15と冷却空気出口室26の断面構成を示す。LED支持体11は軸線方向の貫通孔111を有し、そこに多数の放熱用のフィン113が形成されている。貫通孔111の断面は、円形であってよいが、方形であってもよい。冷却ファン15の中心軸線とLED支持体11の貫通孔111の中心軸線は整合している。貫通孔111の第1の開口には冷却ファン15が設けられ、反対側の第2の開口には冷却空気出口室26が形成されている。貫通孔111の2つの開口の間は密閉空間を形成している。 FIG. 2A shows a cross-sectional configuration of the main part of the LED lamp according to the present embodiment, in particular, the LED support 11, the cooling fan 15, and the cooling air outlet chamber 26. The LED support 11 has a through hole 111 in the axial direction, and a large number of heat radiation fins 113 are formed therein. The cross section of the through hole 111 may be circular, but may be square. The central axis of the cooling fan 15 and the central axis of the through hole 111 of the LED support 11 are aligned. A cooling fan 15 is provided in the first opening of the through hole 111, and a cooling air outlet chamber 26 is formed in the second opening on the opposite side. A sealed space is formed between the two openings of the through hole 111.
 ここで本実施形態のLEDランプの空冷システムを説明する。冷却ファン15を回転させると、冷却ファン15の軸線方向に沿って冷却用空気流が形成される。矢印は、冷却用空気流の経路を示す。冷却用空気は、冷却ファン15を貫通し、LED支持体11の貫通孔111に導かれる。冷却用空気は、第1の開口から貫通孔111に入り、第2の開口から出る。本実施形態のLEDランプでは、冷却用空気は、LEDランプの中心軸線に沿って、冷却ファン15から口金13に向けて流れる。第2の開口から出た冷却後の空気の温度は比較的高い。冷却後の空気は、冷却空気出口室26を経由してLEDランプ10の外部に排出される。 Here, the air cooling system of the LED lamp of this embodiment will be described. When the cooling fan 15 is rotated, a cooling air flow is formed along the axial direction of the cooling fan 15. Arrows indicate the path of the cooling air flow. The cooling air passes through the cooling fan 15 and is guided to the through hole 111 of the LED support 11. The cooling air enters the through-hole 111 from the first opening and exits from the second opening. In the LED lamp of this embodiment, the cooling air flows from the cooling fan 15 toward the base 13 along the central axis of the LED lamp. The temperature of the cooled air coming out of the second opening is relatively high. The cooled air is discharged to the outside of the LED lamp 10 via the cooling air outlet chamber 26.
 冷却用空気がLED支持体11の貫通孔111及びフィン113に接触すると熱交換が行われ、冷却用空気はLED支持体11より熱を奪う。本実施形態では、LED支持体11の貫通孔111は、両端の開口を除いて、密閉空間を有するから、冷却ファン15からの冷却用空気は全てLED支持体11の貫通孔111内を通過し、LED支持体11の冷却に使用される。従って、LED支持体11を効率的に冷却することができる。こうして、LED30が高温となることはない。 When the cooling air comes into contact with the through holes 111 and the fins 113 of the LED support 11, heat exchange is performed, and the cooling air takes heat away from the LED support 11. In the present embodiment, since the through hole 111 of the LED support 11 has a sealed space except for the openings at both ends, all the cooling air from the cooling fan 15 passes through the through hole 111 of the LED support 11. , Used to cool the LED support 11. Therefore, the LED support 11 can be efficiently cooled. Thus, the LED 30 does not reach a high temperature.
 本実施形態のLEDランプ10では、冷却ファン15は冷却空気出口室26から十分に離れている。従って、冷却空気出口室26から排出された比較的高温の空気が直接冷却ファン15に到達することはない。即ち、冷却ファン15に比較的低温の空気を供給することができる。従って、冷却ファンによる冷却効果を高めることができる。更に、冷却ファン15及びモータの高温化を回避することができる。従って、冷却ファンのモータの潤滑油の劣化に起因する冷却ファンの性能低下を回避することができる。 In the LED lamp 10 of the present embodiment, the cooling fan 15 is sufficiently separated from the cooling air outlet chamber 26. Accordingly, the relatively hot air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 does not reach the cooling fan 15 directly. That is, relatively low temperature air can be supplied to the cooling fan 15. Therefore, the cooling effect by the cooling fan can be enhanced. Furthermore, the high temperature of the cooling fan 15 and the motor can be avoided. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid a decrease in performance of the cooling fan due to deterioration of the lubricating oil of the motor of the cooling fan.
 図2Bを参照して本実施形態に係るLEDランプの他の例を説明する。本実施形態では、冷却空気出口室26に空気流分散部材27が設けられている。空気流分散部材27は円錐状に形成されてよい。本実施形態に係るLEDランプの構造は、空気流分散部材27以外は、図2Aに示したLEDランプの構造と同一であってよい。 Another example of the LED lamp according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2B. In the present embodiment, an air flow dispersion member 27 is provided in the cooling air outlet chamber 26. The air flow dispersion member 27 may be formed in a conical shape. The structure of the LED lamp according to the present embodiment may be the same as the structure of the LED lamp shown in FIG. 2A except for the air flow dispersion member 27.
 LED支持体11の貫通孔111の第2の開口から出た冷却後の空気は、冷却空気出口室26に排出される。冷却後の空気は、空気流分散部材27に衝突し、進路を変更して、LEDランプの外部に排出される。即ち、冷却後の空気は、空気流分散部材27によって口金13側に導かれる。本実施形態では、冷却空気出口室26から排出された比較的高温の空気が直接冷却ファン15に到達することはない。即ち、冷却ファン15に比較的低温の空気を供給することができる。 The cooled air that has exited from the second opening of the through hole 111 of the LED support 11 is discharged to the cooling air outlet chamber 26. The cooled air collides with the air flow dispersion member 27, changes the course, and is discharged outside the LED lamp. That is, the cooled air is guided to the base 13 side by the air flow dispersion member 27. In the present embodiment, the relatively high temperature air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 does not reach the cooling fan 15 directly. That is, relatively low temperature air can be supplied to the cooling fan 15.
 図2Cを参照して本実施形態に係るLEDランプの他の例を説明する。本実施形態では、冷却空気出口室26の冷却ファン側の端部に鍔部29が設けられている。本例では、鍔部29は、LED支持体11の口金側の端部に装着されている。本実施形態に係るLEDランプの構造は、鍔部29以外は、図2Aに示したLEDランプの構造と同一であってよい。 Another example of the LED lamp according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2C. In the present embodiment, a flange 29 is provided at the end of the cooling air outlet chamber 26 on the cooling fan side. In this example, the collar portion 29 is attached to the end portion of the LED support 11 on the base side. The structure of the LED lamp according to the present embodiment may be the same as the structure of the LED lamp shown in FIG.
 LED支持体11の貫通孔111の第2の開口から出た冷却後の空気は、冷却空気出口室26に排出される。冷却後の空気は、鍔部29に衝突し、進路を変更して、LEDランプの外部に排出される。即ち、冷却後の空気は、鍔部29によって口金13側に導かれる。本実施形態では、冷却空気出口室26から排出された比較的高温の空気が直接冷却ファン15に到達することはない。即ち、冷却ファン15に比較的低温の空気を供給することができる。 The cooled air that has exited from the second opening of the through hole 111 of the LED support 11 is discharged to the cooling air outlet chamber 26. The cooled air collides with the flange 29, changes the course, and is discharged outside the LED lamp. That is, the cooled air is guided to the base 13 side by the flange portion 29. In the present embodiment, the relatively high temperature air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 does not reach the cooling fan 15 directly. That is, relatively low temperature air can be supplied to the cooling fan 15.
 図2Dを参照して本実施形態に係るLEDランプの他の例を説明する。本実施形態では、冷却空気出口室26の冷却ファン側の端部に鍔部29が設けられ、更に、冷却空気出口室26に空気流分散部材27を設けられている。本実施形態に係るLEDランプの構造は、空気流分散部材27以外は、図2Cに示したLEDランプの構造と同一であってよい。 Another example of the LED lamp according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2D. In the present embodiment, a flange 29 is provided at the end of the cooling air outlet chamber 26 on the cooling fan side, and an air flow dispersion member 27 is provided in the cooling air outlet chamber 26. The structure of the LED lamp according to this embodiment may be the same as the structure of the LED lamp shown in FIG. 2C except for the air flow dispersion member 27.
 LED支持体11の貫通孔111の第2の開口から出た冷却後の空気は、冷却空気出口室26に排出される。冷却後の空気は、空気流分散部材27及び鍔部29Aに衝突し、進路を変更して、LEDランプの外部に排出される。即ち、冷却後の空気は、空気流分散部材27及び鍔部29によって口金13側に導かれる。本実施形態では、冷却空気出口室26から排出された比較的高温の空気が直接冷却ファン15に到達することはない。即ち、冷却ファン15に比較的低温の空気を供給することができる。以下に、本実施形態によるLEDランプを使用する照明器具の例を説明する。 The cooled air that has exited from the second opening of the through hole 111 of the LED support 11 is discharged to the cooling air outlet chamber 26. The cooled air collides with the air flow dispersion member 27 and the collar portion 29A, changes the course, and is discharged outside the LED lamp. That is, the cooled air is guided to the base 13 side by the air flow dispersion member 27 and the flange 29. In the present embodiment, the relatively high temperature air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 does not reach the cooling fan 15 directly. That is, relatively low temperature air can be supplied to the cooling fan 15. Below, the example of the lighting fixture which uses the LED lamp by this embodiment is demonstrated.
 図3を参照して、本実施形態によるLEDランプを使用するLED道路灯の例を説明する。LED道路灯は、LEDランプ10(図示なし)を囲む筐体51を有する。筐体51の下面には、保護用のガラス板55が装着されている。筐体51の内部構造は後に詳細に説明する。LED道路灯は、地上に立てられたポール57の先端に装着される。 Referring to FIG. 3, an example of an LED road light using the LED lamp according to the present embodiment will be described. The LED road light has a housing 51 that surrounds the LED lamp 10 (not shown). A protective glass plate 55 is attached to the lower surface of the casing 51. The internal structure of the housing 51 will be described in detail later. The LED road light is attached to the tip of a pole 57 standing on the ground.

The LED projector includes a substantially cylindrical casing 61, an LED lamp 10 supported by the casing 61, and a reflecting mirror 63 surrounding the LED lamp 10. The LED projector is attached to a predetermined structure by an arm 67. The reflecting mirror 63 may be made of aluminum whose inner surface is finished to a mirror surface.
 図5Aを参照して、本実施形態によるLED道路灯の例の構造を詳細に説明する。LED道路灯は、筐体51と、反射鏡53と、LEDランプ10とを有する。筐体51は地上に立てられたポール57の先端に装着される。筐体51はソケット収納部52を有し、そこにソケット50が装着されている。本実施形態では、ソケット50は、熱伝導性が高い材料、例えば、磁器、等によって構成され、ヒートシンクの機能を有する。 With reference to FIG. 5A, the structure of the example of the LED road light by this embodiment is demonstrated in detail. The LED road light includes a housing 51, a reflecting mirror 53, and an LED lamp 10. The casing 51 is attached to the tip of a pole 57 standing on the ground. The housing 51 has a socket housing portion 52 in which the socket 50 is mounted. In the present embodiment, the socket 50 is made of a material having high thermal conductivity, such as a porcelain, and has a heat sink function.
 筐体51の下面は開口を有し、この開口に保護用のガラス板55が装着されている。筐体51とガラス板55によって略閉鎖された空間が形成される。反射鏡53は、筐体51の内側に且つ筐体51より所定の間隔にて配置される。反射鏡53は、下側が開口された略箱形又は半卵形を有する。従って、反射鏡53の下側に略箱形の反射空間54が形成される。筐体51と反射鏡53の間に空気通路56とソケット収納部52が形成される。空気通路56の一方の端部は、ソケット収納部52に接続され、空気通路56の他方の端部は、反射空間54に接続されている。 The lower surface of the housing 51 has an opening, and a protective glass plate 55 is attached to the opening. A substantially closed space is formed by the casing 51 and the glass plate 55. The reflecting mirror 53 is disposed inside the casing 51 and at a predetermined interval from the casing 51. The reflecting mirror 53 has a substantially box shape or a semi-oval shape with an open bottom. Accordingly, a substantially box-shaped reflection space 54 is formed below the reflecting mirror 53. An air passage 56 and a socket housing portion 52 are formed between the housing 51 and the reflecting mirror 53. One end of the air passage 56 is connected to the socket housing portion 52, and the other end of the air passage 56 is connected to the reflection space 54.
 反射鏡53は孔53aを有する。この孔53aを介して、反射空間54とソケット収納部52が接続される。LEDランプ10は、反射鏡53の孔53aに貫通して配置されている。LEDランプ10の中心軸線は、水平であってもよいが、水平線に対して所定の傾斜角を有してもよい。 The reflecting mirror 53 has a hole 53a. The reflective space 54 and the socket storage portion 52 are connected through the hole 53a. The LED lamp 10 is disposed through the hole 53a of the reflecting mirror 53. The central axis of the LED lamp 10 may be horizontal, but may have a predetermined inclination angle with respect to the horizontal line.
 LEDランプ10は、図2Cに示すように、LED支持体11、口金13、冷却ファン15及び冷却空気出口室26を有する。更に、冷却空気出口室26の端部に鍔部29が装着されている。冷却ファン15及びLED支持体11は、反射空間54に配置され、冷却空気出口室26と口金13はソケット収納部52に配置されている。本実施形態では、鍔部29は反射鏡53の孔53aの位置に配置されている。LEDランプ10の口金13はソケット50に装着されている。冷却空気出口室26はソケット収納部52に直接空間的に接続されている。従って、冷却空気出口室26から排出された空気は、ソケット収納部52に排出される。特に、本実施形態では、冷却空気出口室26から排出された空気は、鍔部29によって、進路を変更し、ソケット収納部52に導かれる。 The LED lamp 10 includes an LED support 11, a base 13, a cooling fan 15, and a cooling air outlet chamber 26, as shown in FIG. 2C. Further, a flange 29 is attached to the end of the cooling air outlet chamber 26. The cooling fan 15 and the LED support 11 are disposed in the reflection space 54, and the cooling air outlet chamber 26 and the base 13 are disposed in the socket housing portion 52. In the present embodiment, the flange portion 29 is disposed at the position of the hole 53 a of the reflecting mirror 53. The base 13 of the LED lamp 10 is attached to the socket 50. The cooling air outlet chamber 26 is directly and spatially connected to the socket housing portion 52. Accordingly, the air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 is discharged to the socket storage portion 52. In particular, in the present embodiment, the air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 is guided to the socket housing portion 52 by the flange portion 29 changing the route.
 本実施形態のLED道路灯の内部の空気の流れを説明する。冷却ファン15を回転させると、ファンの軸線方向に沿って冷却用空気流が形成される。冷却用空気は、LED支持体11の貫通孔111(図2C)を通り、冷却空気出口室26を経由し、LEDランプ10の外部に排出される。冷却空気出口室26から排出された冷却後の空気は、比較的温度が高い。しかしながら、本実施形態では、冷却空気出口室26はソケット収納部52に接続されている。冷却空気出口室26から排出された空気は、ソケット50の周囲に導かれる。ソケット50はヒートシンクの機能を有する。従って、冷却後の空気は、ソケット50に接触することによって、ソケット50に熱を奪われ、冷却される。 The flow of air inside the LED road light of this embodiment will be described. When the cooling fan 15 is rotated, a cooling airflow is formed along the axial direction of the fan. The cooling air passes through the through hole 111 (FIG. 2C) of the LED support 11 and is discharged to the outside of the LED lamp 10 through the cooling air outlet chamber 26. The air after cooling discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 has a relatively high temperature. However, in this embodiment, the cooling air outlet chamber 26 is connected to the socket housing portion 52. The air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 is guided around the socket 50. The socket 50 has a heat sink function. Accordingly, the air after cooling comes into contact with the socket 50 and is deprived of heat by the socket 50 to be cooled.
 冷却後の空気は、更に、ソケット収納部52から空気通路56を経由して、反射空間54に戻る。冷却後の空気は、空気通路56を流れる間に周囲と熱交換し、更に冷却される。こうして冷却された空気は、反射空間54に戻り、冷却ファン15によってLED支持体11の貫通孔111(図2C)に導かれる。本実施形態では、冷却ファン15、LED支持体11の貫通孔111(図2C)、冷却空気出口室26、ソケット収納部52、空気通路56及び反射空間54は閉ループの空気循環経路を構成している。 The cooled air further returns from the socket housing 52 to the reflection space 54 via the air passage 56. The cooled air exchanges heat with the surroundings while flowing through the air passage 56 and is further cooled. The air thus cooled returns to the reflection space 54 and is guided to the through hole 111 (FIG. 2C) of the LED support 11 by the cooling fan 15. In the present embodiment, the cooling fan 15, the through hole 111 (FIG. 2C) of the LED support 11, the cooling air outlet chamber 26, the socket housing 52, the air passage 56 and the reflection space 54 constitute a closed loop air circulation path. Yes.
 本実施形態のLED道路灯では、冷却空気出口室26から排出された比較的高温の空気が直接冷却ファン15に到達することはない。即ち、冷却ファン15に空気通路56を介して比較的低温の空気を供給することができる。従って、冷却ファン15による冷却効果を高めることができる。更に、冷却ファン15及びモータの高温化を回避することができる。従って、冷却ファンのモータの潤滑油の劣化に起因する冷却ファンの性能低下を回避することができる。 In the LED road light of the present embodiment, the relatively hot air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 does not reach the cooling fan 15 directly. That is, relatively low temperature air can be supplied to the cooling fan 15 via the air passage 56. Therefore, the cooling effect by the cooling fan 15 can be enhanced. Furthermore, the high temperature of the cooling fan 15 and the motor can be avoided. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid a decrease in performance of the cooling fan due to deterioration of the lubricating oil of the motor of the cooling fan.
 図5Bを参照して、本実施形態によるLED道路灯の他の例の構造を詳細に説明する。本実施形態では、LEDランプ10は、図2A、及び、図2Bに示すように、LED支持体11、口金13、冷却ファン15及び冷却空気出口室26を有する。本実施形態では、図5Bに示した実施形態と比較して、冷却空気出口室26に鍔部29が設けられていない点が異なる。 With reference to FIG. 5B, the structure of another example of the LED road light according to the present embodiment will be described in detail. In this embodiment, the LED lamp 10 has the LED support body 11, the nozzle | cap | die 13, the cooling fan 15, and the cooling air exit chamber 26, as shown to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B. This embodiment is different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 5B in that the cooling air outlet chamber 26 is not provided with the flange portion 29.
 LEDランプ10は、反射鏡53の孔53aに貫通して配置されている。冷却ファン15及びLED支持体11は、反射空間54に配置され、冷却空気出口室26と口金13はソケット収納部52に配置されている。本実施形態では、LED支持体11と冷却空気出口室26の境界は反射鏡53の孔53aの位置に配置されている。LEDランプ10の口金13はソケット50に装着されている。冷却空気出口室26はソケット収納部52に直接空間的に接続されている。従って、冷却空気出口室26から排出された空気は、ソケット収納部52に排出される。 The LED lamp 10 is disposed through the hole 53a of the reflecting mirror 53. The cooling fan 15 and the LED support 11 are disposed in the reflection space 54, and the cooling air outlet chamber 26 and the base 13 are disposed in the socket housing portion 52. In the present embodiment, the boundary between the LED support 11 and the cooling air outlet chamber 26 is disposed at the position of the hole 53 a of the reflecting mirror 53. The base 13 of the LED lamp 10 is attached to the socket 50. The cooling air outlet chamber 26 is directly and spatially connected to the socket housing portion 52. Accordingly, the air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 is discharged to the socket storage portion 52.
 本実施形態のLED道路灯の内部の空気の流れは、図5Aの例と同様である。本実施形態では、冷却ファン15、LED支持体11の貫通孔111(図2A)、冷却空気出口室26、ソケット収納部52及び空気通路56は閉ループの空気循環経路を構成している。 The flow of air inside the LED road light of this embodiment is the same as the example of FIG. 5A. In the present embodiment, the cooling fan 15, the through hole 111 (FIG. 2A) of the LED support 11, the cooling air outlet chamber 26, the socket housing portion 52, and the air passage 56 constitute a closed loop air circulation path.
 本実施形態のLED道路灯では、図5AのLED道路灯と同様に、冷却空気出口室26から排出された比較的高温の空気が直接冷却ファン15に到達することはない。即ち、冷却ファン15に空気通路56を介して比較的低温の空気を供給することができる。従って、冷却ファン15による冷却効果を高めることができる。更に、冷却ファン15及びモータの高温化を回避することができる。従って、冷却ファンのモータの潤滑油の劣化に起因する冷却ファンの性能低下を回避することができる。 In the LED road light of this embodiment, the relatively high temperature air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 does not reach the cooling fan 15 directly like the LED road light of FIG. 5A. That is, relatively low temperature air can be supplied to the cooling fan 15 via the air passage 56. Therefore, the cooling effect by the cooling fan 15 can be enhanced. Furthermore, the high temperature of the cooling fan 15 and the motor can be avoided. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid a decrease in performance of the cooling fan due to deterioration of the lubricating oil of the motor of the cooling fan.

 筐体61は、一端に開口を有する略円筒形状を有する。この開口に反射鏡63が装着されている。筐体61の中心軸線と反射鏡63の中心軸線は整合している。筐体61と反射鏡63によって略閉鎖された空間が形成される。本実施形態では、この空間がソケット収納部62となる。反射鏡63は、断面が放物線状の回転放物面状等であってよい。反射鏡63によって略半球状の反射空間64が形成される。更に、反射鏡63の端面に保護用のガラス板65が装着されている。従って、反射空間64は略半球状の密閉空間となる。 The housing 61 has a substantially cylindrical shape having an opening at one end. A reflecting mirror 63 is attached to this opening. The central axis of the casing 61 and the central axis of the reflecting mirror 63 are aligned. A substantially closed space is formed by the casing 61 and the reflecting mirror 63. In the present embodiment, this space becomes the socket housing portion 62. The reflecting mirror 63 may be a rotating paraboloid having a parabolic cross section. The reflecting mirror 63 forms a substantially hemispherical reflecting space 64. Further, a protective glass plate 65 is attached to the end face of the reflecting mirror 63. Therefore, the reflection space 64 is a substantially hemispherical sealed space.
 反射鏡63は孔63aを有する。この孔63aを介して、反射空間64とソケット収納部62が接続される。LEDランプ10は、反射鏡63の孔63aに貫通して配置されている。LEDランプ10の中心軸線と反射鏡63の中心軸線は整合している。 The reflecting mirror 63 has a hole 63a.

The cooling fan 15 and the LED support 11 are disposed in the reflection space 64, and the cooling air outlet chamber 26 and the base 13 are disposed in the socket housing portion 62. In the present embodiment, the boundary between the LED support 11 and the cooling air outlet chamber 26 is disposed at the position of the hole 63 a of the reflecting mirror 63. The base 13 of the LED lamp 10 is attached to the socket 60. The cooling air outlet chamber 26 is spatially connected directly to the socket housing portion 62. Accordingly, the air discharged from the cooling air outlet chamber 26 is discharged to the socket housing portion 62.
 本実施形態のLED投光器の内部の空気の流れを説明する。冷却ファン15を回転させると、ファンの軸線方向に沿って冷却用空気流が形成される。冷却用空気は、LED支持体11の貫通孔111(図2A)を通り、冷却空気出口室26を経由し、LEDランプ10の外部に排出される。冷却空気出口室26から排出された冷却後の空気は、比較的温度が高い。しかしながら、本実施形態では、冷却空気出口室26はソケット収納部62に接続されている。冷却空気出口室26から排出された空気は、ソケット60の周囲に導かれる。ソケット60はヒートシンクの機能を有する。従って、冷却後の空気は、ソケット60に接触することによって、ソケット60に熱を奪われ、冷却される。本実施形態では、反射空間64、冷却ファン15、LED支持体11の貫通孔111(図2A)、冷却空気出口室26、及び、ソケット収納部62は空気循環経路を構成している。 The flow of air inside the LED projector of this embodiment will be described. When the cooling fan 15 is rotated, a cooling airflow is formed along the axial direction of the fan. The cooling air passes through the through hole 111 (FIG. 2A) of the LED support 11 and is discharged to the outside of the LED lamp 10 through the cooling air outlet chamber 26.

That is, relatively low temperature air can be supplied to the cooling fan 15. Therefore, the cooling effect by the cooling fan 15 can be enhanced. Furthermore, the high temperature of the cooling fan 15 and the motor can be avoided. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid a decrease in performance of the cooling fan due to deterioration of the lubricating oil of the motor of the cooling fan.
