Description

ＬＥＤランプLED lamp
　本発明は、ＬＥＤランプに関し、特に、ＬＥＤ冷却機構を備えた電球型のＬＥＤランプに関する。 The present invention relates to an LED lamp, and more particularly to a bulb-type LED lamp having an LED cooling mechanism.
　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、ＬＥＤを冷却するためのＬＥＤ冷却機構が設けられる。ＬＥＤ冷却機構として、例えば、ヒートシンクと冷却ファンがある。 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, an LED cooling mechanism for cooling the LED is provided in order to prevent the LED from becoming hot. Examples of the LED cooling mechanism include a heat sink and a cooling fan.
　冷却ファンの性能が低下すると、ＬＥＤが高温化し、発熱効率が低下する。そこで、ＬＥＤランプの発光効率を維持するためには、冷却ファンの性能の低下を防止する必要がある。冷却ファンの性能低下の要因として、モータの潤滑油の劣化が挙げられる。一般にモータの潤滑油は高温下で容易に劣化する。そのため、冷却ファンの性能低下を防止するには、モータの高温化を回避する必要がある。 ¡If the performance of the cooling fan decreases, the LED becomes hot and the heat generation efficiency decreases. Therefore, in order to maintain the luminous efficiency of the LED lamp, it is necessary to prevent the performance of the cooling fan from being lowered. As a factor of the performance deterioration of the cooling fan, there is deterioration of the lubricating oil of the motor. Generally, motor lubricating oil easily deteriorates at high temperatures.

The structures of the LED unit 30, the spacer 18, and the cooling fan 15 will be described later. The cooling fan 15 may typically be an axial fan having a motor and rotating blades provided around the motor. The motor may be a direct current brushless motor.
　筐体２０は、口金側の円筒部２１、トップ側の空気取り入れ部２４、及び、中間のファン収納部２３を含む。空気取り入れ部２４には複数の空気吸入口２４２が円周方向に沿って設けられている。回路基板２７は、筐体２０の空気取り入れ部２４に配置されている。回路基板２７は、ＬＥＤ素子の温度が上昇した場合にＬＥＤ素子への電流の供給を止めるランプ保護回路と冷却ファン１５に直流電流を供給するファン駆動回路を備える。冷却ファン１５は、筐体２０のファン収納部２３内に配置される。スペーサ１８は、筐体２０のファン収納部２３内に装着される。スペーサ１８は樹脂製である。更に、スペーサ１８に係合するようにＬＥＤユニット３０が装着される。こうして、回路基板２７、冷却ファン１５、スペーサ１８及びＬＥＤユニット３０が装着されると、ＬＥＤユニット３０を覆うようにカバー４１が装着される。 The housing 20 includes a base-side cylindrical portion 21, a top-side air intake portion 24, and an intermediate fan storage portion 23.

Further, the LED unit 30 is mounted so as to engage with the spacer 18. Thus, when the circuit board 27, the cooling fan 15, the spacer 18, and the LED unit 30 are mounted, the cover 41 is mounted so as to cover the LED unit 30.
　図３を参照してＬＥＤユニット３０とスペーサ１８と冷却ファン１５の構造の例を説明する。ＬＥＤユニット３０は、筒状に形成されたＬＥＤ基板３１と、その内面に装着されたヒートシンク３２を有する。ＬＥＤ基板３１は、ＬＥＤランプの中心軸線に平行に且つそれを囲むように配置される。ＬＥＤ基板３１は、筒状の配線基板３１１とその外面に装着された複数のＬＥＤ素子３１２を有する。 An example of the structure of the LED unit 30, the spacer 18, and the cooling fan 15 will be described with reference to FIG. The LED unit 30 includes an LED substrate 31 formed in a cylindrical shape and a heat sink 32 attached to the inner surface thereof. The LED substrate 31 is disposed so as to be parallel to and surround the central axis of the LED lamp. The LED substrate 31 includes a cylindrical wiring substrate 311 and a plurality of LED elements 312 mounted on the outer surface thereof.
　ヒートシンク３２は、ＬＥＤ基板３１の内面に面接触するように密着して装着される。ヒートシンク３２は複数の放熱用のフィン３２２を有する。フィン３２２はＬＥＤランプの中心軸線に沿って延びている。フィン３２２の形状は特に限定されない。ヒートシンク３２の内側に、空気流が通るための貫通孔３３が形成される。ヒートシンク３２は１枚の長方形の薄い金属製の板状部材を順に折り曲げて製造する。ヒートシンク３２は、熱伝導性が高い金属、例えば、銅、アルミニウム合金、ステンレス鋼等によって構成される。 The heat sink 32 is attached in close contact with the inner surface of the LED substrate 31 so as to be in surface contact. The heat sink 32 has a plurality of heat radiation fins 322. The fins 322 extend along the central axis of the LED lamp. The shape of the fin 322 is not particularly limited. A through hole 33 through which an air flow passes is formed inside the heat sink 32. The heat sink 32 is manufactured by sequentially bending one rectangular thin metal plate member. The heat sink 32 is made of a metal having high thermal conductivity, for example, copper, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or the like.
　図示の例では、ＬＥＤ基板３１は、断面が正八角形の筒状体に形成される。しかしながら、本実施形態では、ＬＥＤ基板３１は、図示の例に限定されるものではなく、断面が正八角形以外の正多角形の筒状体に形成されてよい。ＬＥＤ基板３１は、１枚の板状の長方形のＬＥＤ基板を７つの折り曲げ部３１９に沿って順に折り曲げて筒状に成形することにより形成される。従って、筒状のＬＥＤ基板の両縁の間に、隙間３１Ａが形成される。ＬＥＤ基板３１は、７つの折り曲げ部３１９に沿って細い長孔３１５を有する。 In the illustrated example, the LED substrate 31 is formed in a cylindrical body having a regular octagonal cross section. However, in the present embodiment, the LED substrate 31 is not limited to the illustrated example, and may be formed in a cylindrical body having a regular polygon other than a regular octagon in cross section. The LED substrate 31 is formed by bending one plate-like rectangular LED substrate in order along the seven bent portions 319 and forming it into a cylindrical shape. Accordingly, a gap 31A is formed between both edges of the cylindrical LED substrate. The LED substrate 31 has thin elongated holes 315 along the seven bent portions 319.
　ＬＥＤ基板３１とヒートシンク３２は、トップ側端部（図３では上側端部）にてクリップ３５によって固定される。更に、ＬＥＤ基板３１とヒートシンク３２は、軸線方向の略中央の位置にてリベット３７によって固定される。クリップ３５及びリベット３７は、正八面体の各面毎に、合計８箇所にて設けられている。 The LED substrate 31 and the heat sink 32 are fixed by a clip 35 at the top side end (upper end in FIG. 3). Further, the LED substrate 31 and the heat sink 32 are fixed by a rivet 37 at a substantially central position in the axial direction. The clips 35 and rivets 37 are provided at a total of eight locations for each surface of the regular octahedron.
　スペーサ１８は、中心部材１８１とその周囲の環状部材１８３とを有する。中心部材１８１と環状部材１８３は、放射状の支持部材１８５によって接続されている。中心部材１８１と環状部材１８３の間に環状の貫通孔１８６が形成されている。中心部材１８１は、トップ側端面に設けられた円形部材１８１Ａとそれを支持する円筒部材１８１Ｂを有する。環状部材１８３は、環状のトップ側端面１８３Ａと円筒状内面１８３Ｂとを有する。トップ側端面１８３Ａに係合部材１８７が設けられている。 The spacer 18 includes a center member 181 and an annular member 183 around the center member 181. The central member 181 and the annular member 183 are connected by a radial support member 185. An annular through hole 186 is formed between the center member 181 and the annular member 183. The center member 181 includes a circular member 181A provided on the top side end surface and a cylindrical member 181B that supports the circular member 181A. The annular member 183 has an annular top side end surface 183A and a cylindrical inner surface 183B. An engaging member 187 is provided on the top side end surface 183A.
　スペーサ１８の貫通孔１８６は、口金側からトップ側に向かって断面積が大きくなっている。環状部材１８３の円筒状内面１８３Ｂと中心部材１８１の円筒部材１８１Ｂの少なくとも一方は、軸線方向に沿って傾斜している。図示の例では、環状部材１８３の円筒状内面１８３Ｂの径は、トップ側に向かって増大している。更に、中心部材１８１の円筒部材１８１Ｂの外径を、トップ側に向かって増大させてもよい。 The through hole 186 of the spacer 18 has a cross-sectional area that increases from the base side to the top side. At least one of the cylindrical inner surface 183B of the annular member 183 and the cylindrical member 181B of the center member 181 is inclined along the axial direction. In the illustrated example, the diameter of the cylindrical inner surface 183B of the annular member 183 increases toward the top side. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 181B of the center member 181 may be increased toward the top side.
　冷却ファン１５は、中心の円筒状のモータ１５１とその周囲の円筒状部材１５３とを有し、両者の間に、環状の貫通孔１５６が形成されている。貫通孔１５６に回転羽根が配置されている。モータ１５１と円筒状部材１５３は、放射状の支持部材１５５によって接続されている。 The cooling fan 15 has a central cylindrical motor 151 and a cylindrical member 153 around it, and an annular through-hole 156 is formed between them. A rotating blade is disposed in the through hole 156. The motor 151 and the cylindrical member 153 are connected by a radial support member 155.
　冷却ファン１５のモータ１５１とスペーサ１８の中心部材１８１は、対応した形状及び寸法を有し、ランプの中心軸線に沿って整合するように配置される。例えば、冷却ファン１５のモータ１５１とスペーサ１８の中心部材１８１の円形部材１８１Ａは、同一の外径を有するように形成されてよい。更に、冷却ファン１５のモータ１５１とスペーサ１８の中心部材１８１の円筒部材１８１Ｂの口金側端面は、同一の外径を有するように形成されてよい。 The motor 151 of the cooling fan 15 and the central member 181 of the spacer 18 have corresponding shapes and dimensions, and are arranged so as to be aligned along the central axis of the lamp. For example, the motor 151 of the cooling fan 15 and the circular member 181A of the central member 181 of the spacer 18 may be formed to have the same outer diameter. Further, the end surface on the base side of the motor 151 of the cooling fan 15 and the cylindrical member 181B of the central member 181 of the spacer 18 may be formed to have the same outer diameter.
　冷却ファン１５の支持部材１５５とスペーサ１８の支持部材１８５は、対応した形状及び寸法を有し、ランプの中心軸線に沿って整合して配置されている。例えば、冷却ファン１５が４本の支持部材１５５を備える場合には、スペーサ１８は４本の支持部材１８５を備える。 The support member 155 of the cooling fan 15 and the support member 185 of the spacer 18 have corresponding shapes and dimensions, and are arranged in alignment along the central axis of the lamp. For example, when the cooling fan 15 includes four support members 155, the spacer 18 includes four support members 185.
　冷却ファン１５の貫通孔１５６とスペーサ１８の貫通孔１８６は、対応した形状及び寸法を有し、ランプの中心軸線に沿って整合して配置される。例えば、冷却ファン１５の貫通孔１５６のトップ側開口部とスペーサ１８の貫通孔１８６の口金側開口部は、同一形状を有するように形成されてよい。冷却ファン１５の貫通孔１５６とスペーサ１８の貫通孔１８６によって連続した管状の空気流路が形成される。この空気流路は、ヒートシンク３２の内側の貫通孔３３に接続されている。 The through hole 156 of the cooling fan 15 and the through hole 186 of the spacer 18 have corresponding shapes and dimensions, and are arranged in alignment along the central axis of the lamp. For example, the top opening of the through hole 156 of the cooling fan 15 and the base opening of the through hole 186 of the spacer 18 may be formed to have the same shape. A continuous tubular air flow path is formed by the through hole 156 of the cooling fan 15 and the through hole 186 of the spacer 18. This air flow path is connected to a through hole 33 inside the heat sink 32.
　ＬＥＤユニット３０は、スペーサ１８の環状部材１８３に装着される。ＬＥＤ基板３１の口金側端部（図３では下側端部）は、スペーサ１８の環状部材１８３のトップ側端面１８３Ａに当接し、且つ、係合部材１８７によって保持される。係合部材１８７は図示のような爪状であってもよいが他の形状であってもよい。 The LED unit 30 is mounted on the annular member 183 of the spacer 18. The base end (lower end in FIG. 3) of the LED substrate 31 is in contact with the top end surface 183A of the annular member 183 of the spacer 18 and is held by the engaging member 187. The engaging member 187 may have a claw shape as illustrated, but may have another shape.
　本願の発明者は、スペーサ１８の中心部材１８１の好ましい形状を鋭意検討した。本願の発明者は、管状の中心部材１８１を備えたスペーサ１８と、有底の円筒容器状の中心部材１８１を備えたスペーサ１８を用意し、図２に示したＬＥＤランプに装着し、点灯試験を行った。その結果、管状の中心部材１８１を備えたスペーサ１８を用いる場合より、有底の円筒容器状の中心部材１８１を備えたスペーサ１８を用いる場合のほうが、冷却ファン１５のモータ１５１の冷却に有効であることを見出した。更に、中心部材１８１において円形部材１８１Ａを円筒部材１８１Ｂのトップ側に設けた場合と、口金側に設けた場合を比較した。その結果、円形部材１８１Ａを円筒部材１８１Ｂのトップ側に設けたほうが、冷却ファン１５のモータ１５１の冷却に有利であることを見出した。そこで、本実施形態では、中心部材１８１は、図３に示すように、円形部材１８１Ａと円筒部材１８１Ｂを有する有底の円筒容器状に形成した。 The inventors of the present application diligently studied a preferable shape of the central member 181 of the spacer 18. The inventor of the present application prepares a spacer 18 having a tubular center member 181 and a spacer 18 having a bottomed cylindrical container-shaped center member 181, and is mounted on the LED lamp shown in FIG. Went. As a result, the use of the spacer 18 with the bottomed cylindrical container-shaped center member 181 is more effective for cooling the motor 151 of the cooling fan 15 than when the spacer 18 with the tubular center member 181 is used. I found out. Furthermore, the case where the circular member 181A is provided on the top side of the cylindrical member 181B in the central member 181 was compared with the case where it was provided on the base side. As a result, it has been found that it is advantageous to cool the motor 151 of the cooling fan 15 by providing the circular member 181A on the top side of the cylindrical member 181B. Therefore, in this embodiment, the center member 181 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical container shape having a circular member 181A and a cylindrical member 181B as shown in FIG.

The LED unit 30, the spacer 18, and the cooling fan 15 are arranged in alignment along the central axis of the lamp. The fins 322 of the heat sink 32 extend along the axial direction from the base side end of the heat sink 32 to the top side end.
　本実施形態では、冷却ファン１５とヒートシンク３２の間にスペーサ１８が配置されている。即ち、冷却ファン１５とヒートシンク３２の間に、スペーサ１８を配置するための空間が形成されている。本実施形態では、冷却ファン１５とヒートシンク３２の間に空間を設け、更に、この空間にスペーサ１８を配置することによって、ヒートシンク３２からの熱が冷却ファン１５のモータ１５１に伝達されることが阻止される。 In this embodiment, the spacer 18 is disposed between the cooling fan 15 and the heat sink 32. That is, a space for arranging the spacer 18 is formed between the cooling fan 15 and the heat sink 32. In the present embodiment, a space is provided between the cooling fan 15 and the heat sink 32, and the spacer 18 is disposed in this space to prevent heat from the heat sink 32 from being transmitted to the motor 151 of the cooling fan 15. Is done.
　ヒートシンク３２の貫通孔３３の内径は、冷却ファン１５の貫通孔１５６の外径より大きい。即ち、ヒートシンク３２の貫通孔３３の断面と、冷却ファン１５の貫通孔１５６の断面の間に差異がある。スペーサ１８は、この差異を緩和する機能を有する。図示のように、スペーサ１８の環状部材１８３の円筒状内面１８３Ｂは傾斜しており、その径は、口金側からトップ側に向かって大きくなっている。即ち、スペーサ１８の貫通孔１８６の断面は、口金側からトップ側に向かって大きくなっている。従って、ヒートシンク３２の貫通孔３３の断面と、冷却ファン１５の貫通孔１５６の断面の間に差異は、スペーサ１８の貫通孔１８６の断面の変化によって緩和されている。本実施形態では、スペーサ１８を設けることによって、冷却ファン１５によって生成された冷却用空気は、効率的にヒートシンク３２の貫通孔３３に導くことができる。 The inner diameter of the through hole 33 of the heat sink 32 is larger than the outer diameter of the through hole 156 of the cooling fan 15. That is, there is a difference between the cross section of the through hole 33 of the heat sink 32 and the cross section of the through hole 156 of the cooling fan 15. The spacer 18 has a function of reducing this difference. As shown in the figure, the cylindrical inner surface 183B of the annular member 183 of the spacer 18 is inclined, and its diameter increases from the base side to the top side. That is, the cross section of the through hole 186 of the spacer 18 increases from the base side to the top side. Accordingly, the difference between the cross section of the through hole 33 of the heat sink 32 and the cross section of the through hole 156 of the cooling fan 15 is alleviated by a change in the cross section of the through hole 186 of the spacer 18. In the present embodiment, by providing the spacer 18, the cooling air generated by the cooling fan 15 can be efficiently guided to the through hole 33 of the heat sink 32.
　筐体２０の空気取り入れ部２４は、円筒部２１とファン収納部２３を架橋する複数の支持部材２４１を有する。これらの支持部材２４１の間に空気吸入口２４２が形成されている。支持部材２４１は略三角形状であり、その斜辺の外面を共通に含む仮想の円錐面が形成される。筐体２０のファン収納部２３は円筒部２３Ａと底面部２３Ｂを有する。底面部２３Ｂには、空気吸入孔２３１が形成されている。 The air intake portion 24 of the housing 20 includes a plurality of support members 241 that bridge the cylindrical portion 21 and the fan storage portion 23. An air inlet 242 is formed between these support members 241. The support member 241 has a substantially triangular shape, and a virtual conical surface that includes the outer surface of the hypotenuse in common is formed. The fan housing part 23 of the housing 20 has a cylindrical part 23A and a bottom part 23B. An air suction hole 231 is formed in the bottom surface portion 23B.
　本実施形態に係るＬＥＤランプの冷却用空気流の経路を説明する。矢印は、冷却用空気流の経路を示す。筐体２０の空気取り入れ部２４の空気吸入口２４２、筐体２０のファン収納部２３の底面部２３Ｂの空気吸入孔２３１、冷却ファン１５の貫通孔１５６、スペーサ１８の貫通孔１８６、ヒートシンク３２の貫通孔３３、及び、カバー４１の空気排出孔４２は、ランプの軸線方向に沿って整合して配置されており、１つの連続した空気流通路を形成する。更に、ヒートシンク３２の貫通孔３３、ＬＥＤ基板３１の長孔３１５及び隙間３１Ａ（図３）、カバー４１とＬＥＤ基板３１の間の空間４３、及び、カバー４１の空気排出孔４２は、ランプの軸線の周りに１つの連続した空気流通路を形成する。 The path of the air flow for cooling the LED lamp according to this embodiment will be described. Arrows indicate the path of the cooling air flow. The air intake port 242 of the air intake portion 24 of the housing 20, the air suction hole 231 of the bottom surface portion 23 </ b> B of the fan housing portion 23 of the housing 20, the through hole 156 of the cooling fan 15, the through hole 186 of the spacer 18, and the heat sink 32. The through hole 33 and the air discharge hole 42 of the cover 41 are arranged in alignment along the axial direction of the lamp, and form one continuous air flow passage. Further, the through hole 33 of the heat sink 32, the long hole 315 and the gap 31A (FIG. 3) of the LED substrate 31, the space 43 between the cover 41 and the LED substrate 31, and the air discharge hole 42 of the cover 41 are arranged along the axis of the lamp. One continuous air flow passage is formed around.
　冷却ファン１５を回転させると、先ず、環状の貫通孔１５６に軸線方向の冷却用空気流が形成される。このとき、筐体２０の空気取り入れ部２４の空気吸入口２４２を介して外部空間から比較的温度が低い冷却用空気が取り入れられる。この冷却用空気は、ファン収納部２３の底面部２３Ｂの空気吸入孔２３１を経由して、冷却ファン１５の貫通孔１５６に導かれる。冷却ファン１５のモータ１５１は、外部空間からの比較的温度が低い冷却用空気によって冷却されるから、モータ１５１の潤滑油の劣化に起因する冷却ファン１５の性能低下を回避することができる。 When the cooling fan 15 is rotated, an axial cooling airflow is first formed in the annular through hole 156. At this time, cooling air having a relatively low temperature is taken in from the external space via the air intake port 242 of the air intake portion 24 of the housing 20. The cooling air is guided to the through hole 156 of the cooling fan 15 via the air suction hole 231 of the bottom surface part 23 </ b> B of the fan housing part 23. Since the motor 151 of the cooling fan 15 is cooled by the cooling air having a relatively low temperature from the external space, it is possible to avoid the performance deterioration of the cooling fan 15 due to the deterioration of the lubricating oil of the motor 151.
　筐体２０の空気取り入れ部２４の空気吸入口２４２を介して取り入れられた冷却用空気は、回路基板２７が配置される空間に流入する。それによって、空気取り入れ部２４に配置された回路基板２７は効率的に常に放熱される。そのため回路部品等の高温化に起因した劣化及び誤作動を防止することができる。 The cooling air taken in through the air inlet 242 of the air intake 24 of the housing 20 flows into the space where the circuit board 27 is arranged. Thereby, the circuit board 27 arranged in the air intake portion 24 is always radiated efficiently. Therefore, it is possible to prevent deterioration and malfunction due to high temperature of circuit components and the like.
　冷却ファン１５によって生成された冷却用空気流は、スペーサ１８の貫通孔１８６を経由して、ヒートシンク３２の貫通孔３３に導かれる。冷却用空気がヒートシンク３２に接触すると熱交換が行われる。冷却用空気はヒートシンク３２より熱を奪い、その温度が高くなる。この冷却後の比較的温度が高い空気は、貫通孔３３を通ってカバー４１のトップ側端部に設けられた空気排出孔４２より排出される。 The cooling air flow generated by the cooling fan 15 is guided to the through hole 33 of the heat sink 32 via the through hole 186 of the spacer 18. When the cooling air contacts the heat sink 32, heat exchange is performed. The cooling air takes heat away from the heat sink 32 and its temperature rises. The air having a relatively high temperature after cooling passes through the through hole 33 and is discharged from an air discharge hole 42 provided at the top side end of the cover 41.
　ヒートシンク３２の貫通孔３３に導かれた冷却用空気の一部は、ＬＥＤ基板３１の長孔３１５及び隙間３１Ａ（図３）を経由して、カバー４１とＬＥＤ基板３１の間の空間４３に流入し、ＬＥＤ基板３１のトップ側端部を超えて空気排出孔４２より排出される。従って、カバー４１とＬＥＤ基板３１の間の空間４３の空気は、常に、新しい冷却用空気によって置換される。空間４３に流入した冷却用空気によって、配線基板３１１及びＬＥＤ素子３１２が冷却される。 A part of the cooling air guided to the through hole 33 of the heat sink 32 flows into the space 43 between the cover 41 and the LED substrate 31 via the long hole 315 and the gap 31A (FIG. 3) of the LED substrate 31. Then, it is discharged from the air discharge hole 42 beyond the top side end portion of the LED substrate 31. Therefore, the air in the space 43 between the cover 41 and the LED substrate 31 is always replaced with new cooling air. The wiring board 311 and the LED element 312 are cooled by the cooling air flowing into the space 43.
　本実施形態によると、冷却用空気が通る空間は、筐体２０の空気取り入れ部２４の空気吸入口２４２とカバー４１の空気排出孔４２とを除いて密閉空間を形成している。従って、外部空間から導入された冷却用空気は全て効率的に、ヒートシンク３２の貫通孔３３及び空間４３内を通過し、ヒートシンク３２及びＬＥＤ基板３１の冷却に使用される。従って、ヒートシンク３２及びそれに面接触しているＬＥＤ基板３１を効率的に冷却することができる。こうして、ヒートシンク３２及びＬＥＤ基板３１が高温化されることが防止される。 According to the present embodiment, the space through which the cooling air passes forms a sealed space except for the air intake port 242 of the air intake portion 24 of the housing 20 and the air discharge hole 42 of the cover 41. Therefore, all the cooling air introduced from the external space efficiently passes through the through holes 33 and the space 43 of the heat sink 32 and is used for cooling the heat sink 32 and the LED substrate 31. Therefore, the heat sink 32 and the LED substrate 31 in surface contact with the heat sink 32 can be efficiently cooled. Thus, the heat sink 32 and the LED substrate 31 are prevented from being heated up.
　図５を参照して本実施形態のＬＥＤユニット３０におけるヒートシンク３２の取付け構造の例を詳細に説明する。上述のように、本実施形態では、ＬＥＤ基板３１は、１枚の板状の長方形のＬＥＤ基板を７つの折り曲げ部３１９に沿って順に折り曲げて筒状に成形することにより形成される。従って、筒状のＬＥＤ基板の両縁の間に、隙間３１Ａが形成される。ＬＥＤ基板３１は、７つの折り曲げ部３１９に沿って細い長孔３１５を有する。ＬＥＤ基板３１の８つの面の中央部には、それぞれ孔３１３が形成されている。 An example of the mounting structure of the heat sink 32 in the LED unit 30 of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. As described above, in the present embodiment, the LED substrate 31 is formed by bending one plate-like rectangular LED substrate in order along the seven bent portions 319 and forming it into a cylindrical shape. Accordingly, a gap 31A is formed between both edges of the cylindrical LED substrate. The LED substrate 31 has thin elongated holes 315 along the seven bent portions 319. A hole 313 is formed in each of the central portions of the eight surfaces of the LED substrate 31.
　ヒートシンク３２の構造を説明する。本実施形態のヒートシンク３２は、平坦な装着面を備えた装着部３２１と、装着部３２１より垂直に延びる複数の細い板状の放熱用のフィン３２２とを有し、隣接するフィン３２２の間に凹部３２４が形成されている。装着部３２１の中央付近には孔３２３が形成されている。ヒートシンク３２はＬＥＤ基板３１の８つの面毎に、合計８個、設けられる。ここで、ヒートシンク３２は、ＬＥＤ基板３１の長孔３１５を塞がないように配置される。８個のヒートシンクを用いる代わりに、８個のヒートシンク３２を一体化した１個の一体型のヒートシンクを用いてもよい。一体型のヒートシンクを用いる場合には、それを７か所にて順に折り曲げて筒状に成形する。一体型のヒートシンクは、７か所の折り曲げ部３１９に沿って、ＬＥＤ基板３１の長孔３１５と同様な長孔を有してもよい。ヒートシンク３２の構造及び製造方法の詳細は後に説明する。 The structure of the heat sink 32 will be described. The heat sink 32 of the present embodiment includes a mounting portion 321 having a flat mounting surface and a plurality of thin plate-like heat radiation fins 322 extending perpendicularly from the mounting portion 321, and between adjacent fins 322. A recess 324 is formed. A hole 323 is formed near the center of the mounting portion 321. A total of eight heat sinks 32 are provided for each of the eight surfaces of the LED substrate 31. Here, the heat sink 32 is disposed so as not to block the long hole 315 of the LED substrate 31. Instead of using eight heat sinks, a single integrated heat sink in which eight heat sinks 32 are integrated may be used. When an integrated heat sink is used, it is bent in order at seven locations and formed into a cylindrical shape. The integrated heat sink may have a long hole similar to the long hole 315 of the LED substrate 31 along the seven bent portions 319. Details of the structure and manufacturing method of the heat sink 32 will be described later.
　ＬＥＤ基板３１とヒートシンク３２は、トップ側端部（図５では上側端部）にてクリップ３５によって固定される。クリップ３５は、ＬＥＤ基板３１とヒートシンク３２の縁を挟んで固定することができれば、どのような構造又は形状であってもよい。クリップ３５はＬＥＤ基板３１とヒートシンク３２をばね力によって挟んで固定する。ばね力は板ばね又は線ばねによって生成される。クリップ３５の詳細は後に説明する。ＬＥＤ基板３１とヒートシンク３２は、軸線方向の略中央の位置にてリベット３７によって固定される。リベット３７は、ＬＥＤ基板３１の孔３１３とヒートシンク３２の孔３２３を貫通している。クリップ３５及びリベット３７は、正八面体の各面毎に、合計８箇所にて設けられている。 The LED substrate 31 and the heat sink 32 are fixed by a clip 35 at a top side end (upper end in FIG. 5). The clip 35 may have any structure or shape as long as it can be fixed with the edge of the LED substrate 31 and the heat sink 32 interposed therebetween. The clip 35 fixes the LED substrate 31 and the heat sink 32 with a spring force. The spring force is generated by a leaf spring or a wire spring. Details of the clip 35 will be described later. The LED substrate 31 and the heat sink 32 are fixed by a rivet 37 at a substantially central position in the axial direction. The rivet 37 passes through the hole 313 of the LED substrate 31 and the hole 323 of the heat sink 32. The clips 35 and rivets 37 are provided at a total of eight locations for each surface of the regular octahedron.
