A long light guide 1 (see FIG. 2) is detachably attached to the base 3 from below. The light source blocks 4a and 4b are provided with light sources 2a and 2b at locations facing the light guide 1, respectively.
 導光体1は、光透過性の合成樹脂を用いて成形された直線棒状の部材である。 The light guide 1 is a straight bar-shaped member formed using a light-transmitting synthetic resin.
 以下においては、この導光体1を基準として長さ方向D1、幅方向D2及び厚み方向D3を用いる。長さ方向D1、幅方向D2及び厚み方向D3は、互いに直交する。 In the following, the length direction D1, the width direction D2, and the thickness direction D3 are used with the light guide 1 as a reference. The length direction D1, the width direction D2, and the thickness direction D3 are orthogonal to each other.
 本実施形態の照明装置8をキャビネット5に装着した状態において、長さ方向D1は、キャビネット5の端縁51と平行である。つまり、長さ方向D1は、キャビネット5の左右方向と平行である。幅方向D2は、キャビネット5の前後方向と平行である。厚み方向D3は、キャビネット5の上下方向と平行である。 In the state where the lighting device 8 of the present embodiment is mounted on the cabinet 5, the length direction D <b> 1 is parallel to the edge 51 of the cabinet 5. That is, the length direction D1 is parallel to the left-right direction of the cabinet 5. The width direction D <b> 2 is parallel to the front-rear direction of the cabinet 5. The thickness direction D3 is parallel to the vertical direction of the cabinet 5.

Attachment portions 13a and 13b are located in regions 93a and 93b at both ends sandwiching these regions 91, 92a and 92b, respectively.
 導光体1が備える本体部11、拡張部12a,12b及び取付部13a,13bは、光透過性の合成樹脂を用いて一体に成形される。 The main body 11, the extended portions 12a and 12b, and the attachment portions 13a and 13b included in the light guide 1 are integrally formed using a light-transmitting synthetic resin.

 本体部11は、一対の側面114a,114bを更に有する(図4参照)。一対の側面114a,114bは、本体部11の幅方向D2の両端において、互いに反対方向を向いて位置する。 The main body 11 further includes a pair of side surfaces 114a and 114b (see FIG. 4). The pair of side surfaces 114a and 114b are located in opposite directions at both ends in the width direction D2 of the main body 11.
 側面114a,114bはそれぞれ、導光体1を長さ方向D1に沿って視たときに放物線状に湾曲するように設けられた凸曲面である。本体部11が有する一対の側面114a,114b間の距離(即ち、本体部11の幅方向D2の寸法)は、拡散面112から離れて出射面113に近づくほどに漸次大きくなる。 Each of the side surfaces 114a and 114b is a convex curved surface provided so as to be bent in a parabolic shape when the light guide 1 is viewed along the length direction D1. The distance between the pair of side surfaces 114a and 114b of the main body 11 (that is, the dimension in the width direction D2 of the main body 11) gradually increases as the distance from the diffusion surface 112 approaches the emission surface 113.
 領域92a,92bに位置する拡張部12a,12bはそれぞれ、本体部11の厚み方向D3の端部(出射面113が位置する第二端側の端部)から、幅方向D2に沿って、互いに離れる方向に延長された形状を有する。一対の拡張部12a,12bはそれぞれ、本体部11の長さ方向D1の全長に亘って形成される。 The extended portions 12a and 12b located in the regions 92a and 92b are respectively connected to each other along the width direction D2 from the end portion in the thickness direction D3 of the main body portion 11 (the end portion on the second end side where the emission surface 113 is located). It has a shape extended in the direction of leaving. The pair of expansion portions 12a and 12b are formed over the entire length of the main body portion 11 in the length direction D1.
 拡張部12a,12bはそれぞれ、厚み方向D3の第二端側の端面(下端面)に、本体部11の出射面113から滑らかに延長された形状の拡張出射面121a,121bを有する。拡張出射面121a,121bの詳細な形状については後述する。 The extended portions 12a and 12b have extended exit surfaces 121a and 121b each having a shape extending smoothly from the exit surface 113 of the main body 11 on the end surface (lower end surface) on the second end side in the thickness direction D3.

 両端の領域93a,93bに位置する取付部13a,13bは、本体部11から延長された一対の拡張部12a,12bのそれぞれの先端から、更にL字状に延長された形状を有する。 The attachment portions 13a and 13b located in the regions 93a and 93b at both ends have a shape further extended in an L shape from the respective ends of the pair of extension portions 12a and 12b extended from the main body portion 11.
 取付部13a,13bはそれぞれ、厚み方向D3に沿って、出射面113や拡張出射面121a,121bから離れる方向(上方)に突出し、その突出部分にフック状の突起131a,131bを有する。取付部13a,13bは可撓性を有する。 The mounting portions 13a and 13b protrude along the thickness direction D3 in the direction away from the emission surface 113 and the extended emission surfaces 121a and 121b (upward), and have hook- like projections 131a and 131b at the protruding portions. The attachment portions 13a and 13b have flexibility.
 中央の本体部11と両端の取付部13a,13bとは、互いに平行に位置する。本体部11とこれに隣接する取付部13a,13bとの間には、それぞれ長さ方向D1の全長に亘って溝16a,16bが形成される。溝16a,16bは、拡張部12a,12bのそれぞれの裏側(即ち、厚み方向D3において拡張出射面121が位置する側とは反対側)に位置する。 The central body part 11 and the attachment parts 13a and 13b at both ends are positioned in parallel to each other. Grooves 16a and 16b are formed across the entire length in the length direction D1 between the main body 11 and the attachment portions 13a and 13b adjacent thereto. The grooves 16a and 16b are located on the back sides of the extended portions 12a and 12b (that is, on the side opposite to the side where the extended emission surface 121 is located in the thickness direction D3).
 ベース3は、アルマイト等の材料で成形された高反射性の部材である。図3や図4に示すように、ベース3は、キャビネット5の下面に固定される平板状の固定板31と、固定板31の一面側から突出する一対の取付片32a,32bとを備える。 The base 3 is a highly reflective member formed of a material such as anodized. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the base 3 includes a flat fixing plate 31 fixed to the lower surface of the cabinet 5 and a pair of attachment pieces 32 a and 32 b protruding from one surface side of the fixing plate 31.

The pair of attachment pieces 32a and 32b are positioned parallel to each other with a distance in the width direction D2. The attachment pieces 32a and 32b have hook-shaped protrusions 321a and 321b, respectively.
 ベース3に隣接した位置に固定される光源ブロック4aは、LED(発光ダイオード)である光源2aと、光源2aの発光を制御するように構成された回路25aと、光源2aと回路25aを収容するケース41aとを備える(図1参照)。ベース3を挟んで光源ブロック4aとは反対側に固定される光源ブロック4bは、LED(発光ダイオード)である光源2bと、光源2bの発光を制御するように構成された回路25bと、光源2bと回路25bを収容するケース41bとを備える。 A light source block 4a fixed at a position adjacent to the base 3 houses a light source 2a that is an LED (light emitting diode), a circuit 25a configured to control light emission of the light source 2a, and the light source 2a and the circuit 25a.

And a case 41b for housing the circuit 25b.
 ベース3に対する導光体1の装着は、以下のように行われる。 The mounting of the light guide 1 to the base 3 is performed as follows.
 キャビネット5に固定されたベース3に対して、本体部11の拡散面112が上を向く姿勢で導光体1が近づけられ、導光体1が有する一対の溝16a,16b内に、ベース3が有する一対の取付片32a,32bが、一対一で挿入される。溝16a内においては、導光体1の取付部13aに設けられた突起131aが、ベース3の取付片32aに設けられた突起321aに引っ掛かる(図4参照)。溝16b内においては、導光体1の取付部13bに設けられた突起131bが、ベース3の取付片32bに設けられた突起321bに引っ掛かる。これにより、導光体1はベース3に支持される。 The light guide 1 is brought close to the base 3 fixed to the cabinet 5 with the diffusing surface 112 of the main body 11 facing upward, and the base 3 is placed in the pair of grooves 16 a and 16 b of the light guide 1. A pair of attachment pieces 32a and 32b are inserted one-on-one. In the groove 16a, the protrusion 131a provided on the attachment portion 13a of the light guide 1 is caught by the protrusion 321a provided on the attachment piece 32a of the base 3 (see FIG. 4). In the groove 16 b, the protrusion 131 b provided on the attachment portion 13 b of the light guide 1 is caught by the protrusion 321 b provided on the attachment piece 32 b of the base 3. Thereby, the light guide 1 is supported by the base 3.
 なお、このようにベース3が先にキャビネット5に固定されるのでなく、ベース3と導光体1と光源ブロック4a,4bが先に組み合わせられ、そのうえで、キャビネット5にベース3が固定されてもよい。本実施形態の照明装置8において、光源ブロック4a,4bはそれぞれ装着と取り外しが自在である。 The base 3 is not first fixed to the cabinet 5 in this way, but the base 3, the light guide 1, and the light source blocks 4 a and 4 b are combined first, and then the base 3 is fixed to the cabinet 5. Good. In the illuminating device 8 of the present embodiment, the light source blocks 4a and 4b can be attached and detached, respectively.
 導光体1がベース3に装着された状態において、本体部11が有する拡散面112は、固定板31の一面(下面)に接触又は近接して位置する。導光体1の両端の取付部13a,13bは、ベース3が有する取付片32a,32bの側方を覆い、照明装置8全体の側壁を形成する。 In the state where the light guide 1 is mounted on the base 3, the diffusion surface 112 of the main body 11 is located in contact with or close to one surface (lower surface) of the fixing plate 31. The attachment portions 13a and 13b at both ends of the light guide 1 cover the sides of the attachment pieces 32a and 32b of the base 3, and form the side walls of the entire lighting device 8.
 本実施形態の照明装置8において、照明光を得るには、ベース3に導光体1が装着された状態で、光源ブロック4a,4bの光源2a,2bを発光させ、導光体1が有する本体部11の入射面111a,111bに光を入射させる。 In the illuminating device 8 of this embodiment, in order to obtain illumination light, the light source 2 has light sources 2 a and 2 b of the light source blocks 4 a and 4 b with the light guide 1 mounted on the base 3. Light is incident on the incident surfaces 111 a and 111 b of the main body 11.
 なお、本実施形態では、本体部11は長さ方向D1の両端に入射面111a,111bを有するが、入射面111a,111bの一方だけを有することも可能である。つまり、本実施形態では、本体部11の長さ方向D1の両側に光源ブロック4a,4bが配置されるが、本体部11の長さ方向D1の一側にだけ光源ブロック4aが配置されることや、本体部11の長さ方向D1の他側にだけ光源ブロック4bが配置されることも可能である。 In addition, in this embodiment, although the main-body part 11 has the entrance surfaces 111a and 111b in the both ends of the length direction D1, it is also possible to have only one of the entrance surfaces 111a and 111b. That is, in the present embodiment, the light source blocks 4a and 4b are arranged on both sides of the main body 11 in the length direction D1, but the light source block 4a is arranged only on one side of the main body 11 in the length direction D1. Alternatively, the light source block 4b can be disposed only on the other side of the length direction D1 of the main body 11.
 本体部11の内部では、拡散面112で拡散された光が、直接或いは側面114a,114bでの全反射を介して、出射面113に向けて透過される。これにより、導光体1の本体部11の下面である出射面113と、拡張部12a,12bの下面である拡張出射面121a,121bにまで光が透過され、これら一連の出射面113,121a,121bから、下方空間に向けて光が出射する。 Inside the main body 11, the light diffused by the diffusion surface 112 is transmitted toward the emission surface 113 directly or through total reflection at the side surfaces 114a and 114b. As a result, light is transmitted to the emission surface 113 which is the lower surface of the main body 11 of the light guide 1 and the extended emission surfaces 121a and 121b which are the lower surfaces of the extension portions 12a and 12b, and a series of these emission surfaces 113 and 121a. , 121b emits light toward the lower space.
 本実施形態の照明装置8では、本体部11が有する出射面113と、一対の拡張部12a,12bが有する拡張出射面121a,121bとに、連続的な凹凸形状を設けている。 In the illuminating device 8 of the present embodiment, continuous uneven shapes are provided on the emission surface 113 of the main body 11 and the extended emission surfaces 121a and 121b of the pair of expansion portions 12a and 12b.
 前記凹凸形状は、幅方向D2に等間隔をあけて複数の凹条14,14…が平行に並んだ、波型の形状である。各凹条14は、長さ方向D1に沿って伸びる一直線状の形状を有する。 The concavo-convex shape is a corrugated shape in which a plurality of concave strips 14, 14... Are arranged in parallel at equal intervals in the width direction D2. Each recess 14 has a straight shape extending along the length direction D1.
 図4に示すように、拡張出射面121a,121bにはそれぞれ、複数の凹条14のうち一つが位置する。前記凹凸形状を形成する複数の凹条14の一つが、拡張出射面121aに位置する凹条14aであり、複数の凹条14の他の一つが、拡張出射面121bに位置する凹条14bである。 As shown in FIG. 4, one of the plurality of concave strips 14 is located on each of the extended light exit surfaces 121a and 121b. One of the plurality of recesses 14 forming the uneven shape is a recess 14a located on the extended exit surface 121a, and the other one of the plurality of recesses 14 is a recess 14b located on the extended exit surface 121b. is there.
 拡張出射面121aには、一つの凹条14aの底141aが位置する。底141aは、厚み方向D3において凹条14aの最も凹んだ部分である。拡張出射面121bには、一つの凹条14bの底141bが位置する。底141bは、厚み方向D3において凹条14bの最も凹んだ部分である。 The bottom 141a of one recess 14a is located on the extended emission surface 121a. The bottom 141a is the most recessed portion of the groove 14a in the thickness direction D3. A bottom 141b of one concave strip 14b is located on the extended emission surface 121b. The bottom 141b is the most concave portion of the concave strip 14b in the thickness direction D3.
 より具体的に述べると、拡張出射面121aにおいて設定される領域921a内に、一つの凹条14aの底141aが位置する。領域921aは、拡張出射面121aが位置する領域92aを幅方向D2に二等分したときの、取付部13aに近い側(即ち、領域93aに近い側)の領域である。拡張出射面121bにおいて設定される領域921b内には、一つの凹条14bの底141bが位置する。領域921bは、拡張出射面121bが位置する領域92bを幅方向D2に二等分したときの、取付部13bに近い側(即ち、領域93bに近い側)の領域である。 More specifically, the bottom 141a of one recess 14a is located in the region 921a set on the extended exit surface 121a. The region 921a is a region closer to the attachment portion 13a (ie, closer to the region 93a) when the region 92a where the extended emission surface 121a is located is equally divided into the width direction D2. The bottom 141b of one concave strip 14b is located in the region 921b set on the extended emission surface 121b. The region 921b is a region closer to the attachment portion 13b (ie, closer to the region 93b) when the region 92b where the extended emission surface 121b is located is equally divided into the width direction D2.
 また、拡張出射面121aには、一つの凹条14aの内側面142aが位置する。内側面142aは、凹条14aの底141aから幅方向D2の内側(出射面113の位置する側)に向けて連続する面である。内側面142aにおいては、幅方向D2の内側に近い部分ほど、拡散面112からの厚み方向D3の距離が大きい。 Also, the inner side surface 142a of one concave strip 14a is located on the extended outgoing surface 121a. The inner side surface 142a is a surface that continues from the bottom 141a of the concave strip 14a toward the inner side in the width direction D2 (the side on which the emission surface 113 is located). On the inner side surface 142a, the closer to the inner side in the width direction D2, the greater the distance in the thickness direction D3 from the diffusion surface 112.
 拡張出射面121bには、凹条14bの内側面142bが一つ位置する。内側面142bは、凹条14bの底141bから幅方向D2の内側(出射面113の位置する側)に向けて連続する面である。内側面142bにおいては、幅方向D2の内側にいくほど、拡散面112からの厚み方向D3の距離が大きい。 The inner surface 142b of the concave strip 14b is located on the extended outgoing surface 121b. The inner side surface 142b is a surface that continues from the bottom 141b of the concave strip 14b toward the inner side in the width direction D2 (the side on which the emission surface 113 is located). In the inner side surface 142b, the distance in the thickness direction D3 from the diffusion surface 112 increases as it goes inward in the width direction D2.
 本実施形態の照明装置8では、拡張部12a,12bが有する拡張出射面121a,121bのうち、取付部13a,13bに近い箇所に、それぞれ凹条14a,14bの底141a,141bが位置する。拡張部12a,12bは、凹条14a,14bの底141a,141bが位置する部分において、光の透過する経路が最も絞られた形状である。 In the illuminating device 8 of the present embodiment, the bottoms 141a and 141b of the concave strips 14a and 14b are located at locations close to the mounting portions 13a and 13b, respectively, of the extended emission surfaces 121a and 121b of the extended portions 12a and 12b. The extended portions 12a and 12b have a shape in which the light transmission path is narrowed down at the portions where the bottoms 141a and 141b of the concave strips 14a and 14b are located.
 これにより、本体部11で拡散した光が、拡張部12a,12bを通じて取付部13a,13bにまで至ることが抑制され、且つ、拡張出射面121a,121bからは大きな光量で光が出射される。拡張出射面121a,121bは、出射面113を拡張して発光面積を広げる機能を有する。 Thus, the light diffused in the main body 11 is suppressed from reaching the attachment portions 13a and 13b through the extension portions 12a and 12b, and light is emitted from the extension emission surfaces 121a and 121b with a large amount of light. The extended emission surfaces 121a and 121b have a function of expanding the emission surface 113 to increase the light emission area.
 また、出射面113とこれに連続する拡張出射面121a,121bには、凹凸が交互に並ぶ前記凹凸形状が設けられているので、光は出射時に拡散され、システムキッチンの下部領域を万遍なく照らす。これにより、使用者の眩しさが低減される。 In addition, since the projection surface 113 and the extended exit surfaces 121a and 121b that are continuous with the projection surface are provided with the concavo-convex shape in which the concavo-convex are alternately arranged, the light is diffused at the time of emission, and the entire lower area of the system kitchen is uniformly distributed. Illuminate. Thereby, a user's glare is reduced.
 加えて、複数の凹条14,14…の底部は、いずれも長さ方向D1に沿って視たときに円弧状をなす凹曲面状である。隣接する凹条14,14間に位置する凸条15の頂部は、いずれも長さ方向D1に沿って視たときに円弧状をなす凸曲面状である。このような波型の凹凸形状を採用することにより、出射時に光が更に万遍なく拡散され、使用者の眩しさが低減される。その他、前記凹凸形状の設計に基づいて、出射される照明光の指向性、取出し効率等が調整自在である。 In addition, the bottoms of the plurality of concave stripes 14, 14... Are all concavely curved when viewed along the length direction D1. The tops of the ridges 15 located between the adjacent ridges 14 and 14 are both convex curved surfaces having an arc shape when viewed along the length direction D1. By adopting such a corrugated uneven shape, light is more evenly diffused at the time of emission, and the glare of the user is reduced. In addition, the directivity, extraction efficiency, and the like of the emitted illumination light can be adjusted based on the design of the uneven shape.
