Description

LED照明装置LED lighting device
 本発明は、LED照明装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an LED lighting device.
 特許文献1には、従来のLED照明装置の一例が開示されている。同文献に開示されたLED照明装置は、長矩形状の基板と、基板上に実装された複数のLEDチップと、基板を収容する管と、端子と、LEDチップを点灯させるための回路とを備えている。基板上には複数のLEDチップおよび端子に接続される配線が形成されている。このLED照明装置は、端子を一般用蛍光灯照明器具のソケットの差込口に嵌合させることにより、複数のLEDチップを発光させることができるように構成されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses an example of a conventional LED lighting device. The LED lighting device disclosed in the document includes a long rectangular substrate, a plurality of LED chips mounted on the substrate, a tube that accommodates the substrate, a terminal, and a circuit for lighting the LED chip. ing. A plurality of LED chips and wirings connected to the terminals are formed on the substrate. This LED illuminating device is configured so that a plurality of LED chips can emit light by fitting a terminal into an insertion port of a socket of a general fluorescent lamp luminaire.
 しかしながら、一般用蛍光灯照明器具のソケットを用いることなく、天井に設置可能なLED照明装置が求められる場合がある。このような場合であっても、設置や部品の交換に際して、適切に作業を行うことが可能であることが求められる。 However, there is a case where an LED lighting device that can be installed on a ceiling without using a socket of a general fluorescent lamp lighting fixture is required. Even in such a case, it is required that work can be appropriately performed during installation and replacement of parts.
 省電力化を目的として、蛍光灯に代わる照明手段としてLED発光部を有するLED照明灯が提案されている。図39は、従来のLED照明灯の一例を示している(特許文献2参照)。同図に示すLED照明灯Xは、支持部材91、LED発光部92、透光カバー93および電源部94を備えている。透光カバー93は、円筒形状であり、支持部材91、複数のLED発光部92および電源部94を収容している。支持部材91は、LED発光部92を支持ており、LED発光部92からの放熱を促進する機能を果たしうる。LED発光部92は、透光カバー93の軸方向に沿って支持部材91上に配列された複数のLEDモジュールと、これらのLEDモジュールを支持する基板からなる。電源部94は、たとえば商用の100V電力をLED発光部92の発光に適した直流電力に変換する。透光カバー93は、LED発光部92からの光を拡散させつつ透過させるものであり、たとえば透明な樹脂材料に白色などの拡散材が混入された材質からなる。LED照明灯Xは、一般的な直管形蛍光灯の代替品として用いられる。支持部材91および透光カバー93の両端には、一対の口金(図示略)が設けられる。これらの口金は、LED照明灯Xを照明器具に取り付けるために用いられる。 For the purpose of power saving, an LED illumination lamp having an LED light emitting unit has been proposed as an illumination means instead of a fluorescent lamp. FIG. 39 shows an example of a conventional LED illumination lamp (see Patent Document 2). The LED illuminating lamp X shown in the figure includes a support member 91, an LED light emitting unit 92, a translucent cover 93, and a power supply unit 94. The translucent cover 93 has a cylindrical shape and houses a support member 91, a plurality of LED light emitting units 92, and a power supply unit 94. The support member 91 supports the LED light emitting unit 92 and can fulfill the function of promoting heat dissipation from the LED light emitting unit 92. The LED light emitting unit 92 includes a plurality of LED modules arranged on the support member 91 along the axial direction of the translucent cover 93 and a substrate that supports these LED modules. The power supply unit 94 converts, for example, commercial 100V power into DC power suitable for the light emission of the LED light emitting unit 92. The translucent cover 93 is to transmit the light from the LED light emitting unit 92 while diffusing, and is made of, for example, a material in which a diffusing material such as white is mixed in a transparent resin material. The LED illumination lamp X is used as a substitute for a general straight tube fluorescent lamp. A pair of caps (not shown) are provided at both ends of the support member 91 and the translucent cover 93. These caps are used to attach the LED lighting X to the lighting fixture.
 支持部材91と透光カバー93とは、互いに異なる材質からなることが一般的である。支持部材91が金属からなり、透光カバー93が樹脂からなる場合、LED照明灯Xの使用時における温度変化によって、支持部材91と透光カバー93の熱膨張または熱収縮に差異が生じる。このため、前記口金に対して、支持部材91と透光カバー93が別々に相対動するような挙動を示す。この挙動が過度に生じると、たとえば透光カバー93と前記口金との間に隙間が生じるおそれがある。このようなことでは、透光カバー93内に湿気や水分が浸入してしまうことが懸念される。 The support member 91 and the translucent cover 93 are generally made of different materials. When the support member 91 is made of metal and the translucent cover 93 is made of resin, a difference in thermal expansion or contraction between the support member 91 and the translucent cover 93 occurs due to a temperature change when the LED lighting lamp X is used. For this reason, the support member 91 and the translucent cover 93 exhibit a behavior that moves relative to the base separately. If this behavior occurs excessively, there may be a gap between the translucent cover 93 and the base, for example. In such a case, there is a concern that moisture or moisture may enter the translucent cover 93.
 LED発光部92から出射された光は、透光カバー93を透過するものと、透光カバー93の内面によって反射されるものとに分けられる。透光カバー93の内面によって反射された光がいずれかの部位によって吸収されてしまうと、LED照明灯Xの輝度が低下してしまう。 The light emitted from the LED light emitting unit 92 is classified into one that is transmitted through the light transmitting cover 93 and one that is reflected by the inner surface of the light transmitting cover 93. If the light reflected by the inner surface of the translucent cover 93 is absorbed by any part, the brightness | luminance of LED lighting X will fall.

 本発明によれば、前記アーム部が閉状態をとることにより、前記LEDユニットが近接状態をとっている。前記アーム部には、前記弾性部材から閉方向への弾性力が付与されるため、近接状態が安定的に維持される。この結果、通常の使用時には、前記LEDユニットが前記支持体に対して安定して固定される。一方、前記LEDユニットの設置作業や前記LEDユニットのいずれかの構成要素を交換する作業などを行う際には、使用者が前記弾性部材の弾性力を上回る力で前記LEDユニットを前記支持体から離間させようとすると、前記アーム部が開状態をとる。これにより、前記LEDユニットは、前記支持体から離間した離間状態をとる。この際、前記係合部材が前記アーム部と係合するため、前記LEDユニットが、前記支持体から誤って落下することなどを防止することができる。したがって、前記LED照明装置によれば、設置や交換の作業を適切に行うことが可能である。 According to the present invention, the LED unit is in the proximity state by the arm portion being in the closed state. Since the elastic force in the closing direction is applied from the elastic member to the arm portion, the proximity state is stably maintained. As a result, during normal use, the LED unit is stably fixed to the support. On the other hand, when performing an installation operation of the LED unit, an operation of replacing any component of the LED unit, or the like, the user removes the LED unit from the support with a force exceeding the elastic force of the elastic member. If it tries to separate, the said arm part will take an open state. Thereby, the said LED unit takes the separated state spaced apart from the said support body. At this time, since the engaging member engages with the arm portion, it is possible to prevent the LED unit from being accidentally dropped from the support. Therefore, according to the LED lighting device, it is possible to appropriately perform installation and replacement work.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the LED lighting device A1. FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part taken along line III-III in FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG.
 ベース1は、天井などに取り付けられるものであり、且つLEDユニット2を支持するものである。図6は、ベース1を示す平面図である。ベース1は、本発明で言う支持体の一例に相当する。本実施形態のベース1は、溝部11、一対の斜面部12、貫通孔13,14および中間ケーブル16を有している。 The base 1 is attached to a ceiling or the like and supports the LED unit 2. FIG. 6 is a plan view showing the base 1. The base 1 corresponds to an example of a support referred to in the present invention. The base 1 of the present embodiment has a groove portion 11, a pair of slope portions 12, through holes 13 and 14, and an intermediate cable 16.
 ベース1は、たとえば金属板を折り曲げ加工等することによって形成されている。ベース1のx方向の長さは、たとえば1250mm程度であり、y方向の幅はたとえば230mm程度である。 The base 1 is formed, for example, by bending a metal plate. The length of the base 1 in the x direction is, for example, about 1250 mm, and the width in the y direction is, for example, about 230 mm.
 溝部11は、LEDユニット2を収容する部位である。溝部11は、z方向に凹んでおり、x方向に長く延びている。一対の斜面部12は、溝部11のy方向両端に繋がっており、y方向外方に位置している。斜面部12は、y方向において溝部11から離間するほど、図中z方向上方(LEDユニット2の出射方向とは反対側)に位置するように傾斜している。 The groove 11 is a part that houses the LED unit 2. The groove 11 is recessed in the z direction and extends long in the x direction. The pair of inclined surface portions 12 are connected to both ends of the groove portion 11 in the y direction, and are located outward in the y direction. The inclined surface portion 12 is inclined so as to be positioned higher in the z direction (opposite to the emission direction of the LED unit 2) in the figure as it is separated from the groove portion 11 in the y direction.
 貫通孔13,14は、ベース1の溝部11をz方向に貫通している。本実施形態においては、貫通孔13は、ベース1のx方向中央に位置している。貫通孔13は、LED照明装置A1の取付対象部位である天井などに設けられた電源ケーブル81を挿通させるものである。これにより、電源ケーブル81は、溝部11の外方から溝部11の内方へと導かれる。貫通孔14は、ベース1のx方向図中右側に位置している。貫通孔14は、後述するLEDユニット2の電源部5のケーブル51を挿通させるものである。これにより、ケーブル51は、溝部11の外方から溝部11の内方へと導かれる。 The through holes 13 and 14 penetrate the groove 11 of the base 1 in the z direction. In the present embodiment, the through hole 13 is located at the center of the base 1 in the x direction. The through-hole 13 is for inserting a power cable 81 provided on a ceiling or the like, which is an attachment target part of the LED lighting device A1. As a result, the power cable 81 is guided from the outside of the groove 11 to the inside of the groove 11. The through hole 14 is located on the right side of the base 1 in the x direction view. The through-hole 14 is for inserting a cable 51 of the power supply unit 5 of the LED unit 2 described later. As a result, the cable 51 is guided from the outside of the groove 11 to the inside of the groove 11.
 中間ケーブル16は、後述するLEDユニット2の電源部5のケーブル51と接続されるものである。また、中間ケーブル16の根元には端子台が設けられている。この端子台に電源ケーブル81が接続されることにより、電源ケーブル81と中間ケーブル16とが導通する。中間ケーブル16は、貫通孔13を挟んでLEDユニット2の電源部5とはx方向において反対側に設けられている。 The intermediate cable 16 is connected to a cable 51 of the power supply unit 5 of the LED unit 2 described later. A terminal block is provided at the base of the intermediate cable 16. By connecting the power cable 81 to this terminal block, the power cable 81 and the intermediate cable 16 are electrically connected. The intermediate cable 16 is provided on the opposite side in the x direction from the power supply unit 5 of the LED unit 2 with the through hole 13 interposed therebetween.
 LEDユニット2は、LED照明装置A1の光源機能を発揮するユニットである。LEDユニット2は、z方向においてベース1によって支持されている。また、LEDユニット2は、ベース1によってx方向およびy方向においても支持されている。LEDユニット2は、x方向に長く延びる細長状であり、ベース1の溝部11に収容される。 The LED unit 2 is a unit that exhibits the light source function of the LED lighting device A1. The LED unit 2 is supported by the base 1 in the z direction. The LED unit 2 is also supported by the base 1 in the x direction and the y direction. The LED unit 2 has an elongated shape extending in the x direction and is accommodated in the groove 11 of the base 1.
 LEDユニット2は、複数のLEDモジュール20、基板35、支持部材3、カバー4および電源部5を備えている。図5は、LEDユニット2を示す断面図である。 The LED unit 2 includes a plurality of LED modules 20, a substrate 35, a support member 3, a cover 4, and a power supply unit 5. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the LED unit 2.
 図17は、LEDモジュール20の一例を示す拡大断面図である。LEDモジュール20は、リード21、LEDチップ22、封止樹脂23、およびリフレクタ24を備えている。1対のリード21は、たとえばCu合金からなり、その一方にLEDチップ22が搭載されている。リード21のうちLEDチップ22が搭載された面と反対側の面は、LEDモジュール20を面実装するために用いられる実装端子とされている。 FIG. 17 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing an example of the LED module 20. The LED module 20 includes a lead 21, an LED chip 22, a sealing resin 23, and a reflector 24. The pair of leads 21 is made of, for example, a Cu alloy, and an LED chip 22 is mounted on one of the leads. The surface of the lead 21 opposite to the surface on which the LED chip 22 is mounted is a mounting terminal used for surface mounting the LED module 20.
 LEDチップ22は、LEDモジュール20の光源であり、たとえば青色光を発光可能とされている。封止樹脂23は、LEDチップ22を保護するためのものである。封止樹脂23は、LEDチップ22からの光によって励起されることにより黄色光を発する蛍光物質を含む透光樹脂を用いて形成されている。これにより、LEDモジュール20は、白色を照射することができる。上記蛍光物質としては、黄色光を発するものに代えて、赤色光を発するものと緑色光を発するものとを混合して用いてもよい。リフレクタ24はたとえば白色樹脂からなり、LEDチップ22から側方に発された光を上方に反射するためのものである。 The LED chip 22 is a light source of the LED module 20 and can emit blue light, for example. The sealing resin 23 is for protecting the LED chip 22. The sealing resin 23 is formed using a translucent resin containing a fluorescent material that emits yellow light when excited by light from the LED chip 22. Thereby, the LED module 20 can irradiate white. As said fluorescent substance, it may replace with what emits yellow light, and may mix and use what emits red light, and what emits green light. The reflector 24 is made of, for example, white resin, and reflects light emitted from the LED chip 22 to the side.
 基板35は、x方向を長手方向、y方向を幅方向とする帯状であり、たとえばセラミックスあるいはガラスエポキシ樹脂からなる。本実施形態においては、基板35には、複数のLEDモジュール20がx方向に沿って一列に搭載されている。 The substrate 35 has a strip shape with the x direction as the longitudinal direction and the y direction as the width direction, and is made of, for example, ceramics or glass epoxy resin. In the present embodiment, a plurality of LED modules 20 are mounted on the substrate 35 in a line along the x direction.
 支持部材3は、基板35を支持している。支持部材3は、x方向に延びている。また、支持部材3は、x方向に対して直角である断面形状が一定である。本実施形態においては、支持部材3は、金属板を折り曲げ加工することによって形成されている。支持部材3には、貫通孔33が設けられている。 The support member 3 supports the substrate 35. The support member 3 extends in the x direction. Further, the support member 3 has a constant cross-sectional shape that is perpendicular to the x direction. In the present embodiment, the support member 3 is formed by bending a metal plate. The support member 3 is provided with a through hole 33.
 支持部材3は、支持板部31および一対の側板部32を有している。支持板部31は、x方向を長手方向、y方向を幅方向とする帯板状であり、基板35を支持する部位である。一対の側板部32は、支持板部31のy方向両側端からベース1側に起立している。側板部32のz方向端部は、折り返されている。 The support member 3 has a support plate portion 31 and a pair of side plate portions 32. The support plate portion 31 has a strip shape with the x direction as the longitudinal direction and the y direction as the width direction, and is a part that supports the substrate 35. The pair of side plate portions 32 stands on the base 1 side from both ends in the y direction of the support plate portion 31. The z direction end portion of the side plate portion 32 is folded back.
 カバー4は、LEDモジュール20のLEDチップ22からの光を透過させる。また、本実施形態においては、カバー4は、LEDモジュール20のLEDチップ22からの光を拡散させつつ透過させる。より具体的には、カバー4は、乳白色の半透明の樹脂からなる。カバー4は、x方向に対して直角である断面形状が一定である。また、本実施形態においては、カバー4は、z方向視において支持部材3よりも大である。 The cover 4 transmits light from the LED chip 22 of the LED module 20. In the present embodiment, the cover 4 transmits light from the LED chip 22 of the LED module 20 while diffusing it. More specifically, the cover 4 is made of milky white translucent resin. The cover 4 has a constant cross-sectional shape that is perpendicular to the x direction. In the present embodiment, the cover 4 is larger than the support member 3 when viewed in the z direction.
 図示された例においては、カバー4は、膨出部41および一対の係合部42を有する。膨出部41は、z方向においてベース1とは反対側に膨出している。一対の係合部42は、支持部材3の一対の側板部32と係合する部位である。係合部42は、たとえば膨出部41からz方向図中上方に起立した部位の先端部分が折り返された形状とされている。 In the illustrated example, the cover 4 has a bulging portion 41 and a pair of engaging portions 42. The bulging portion 41 bulges on the opposite side to the base 1 in the z direction. The pair of engaging portions 42 are portions that engage with the pair of side plate portions 32 of the support member 3. The engaging portion 42 has, for example, a shape in which a tip portion of a portion that stands up in the z-direction diagram from the bulging portion 41 is folded.
 電源部5は、たとえば商用AC100V電力をLEDモジュール20のLEDチップ22を発行させるのに適したDC36Vないしは24Vに変換する機能を果たすものである。電源部5は、支持部材3の支持板部31と一対の側板部32に囲まれた空間に配置されており、基板35とは支持板部31を挟んで反対側に位置している。また、電源部5は、図2および図6に示すように、ベース1のx方向一方寄りに配置されている。図4に示すように、電源部5と基板35とは、LEDケーブル29によって接続されている。LEDケーブル29は、支持部材3の貫通孔33を通じて配置されている。 The power supply unit 5 functions to convert commercial AC 100V power into DC 36V or 24V suitable for issuing the LED chip 22 of the LED module 20, for example. The power supply unit 5 is disposed in a space surrounded by the support plate portion 31 and the pair of side plate portions 32 of the support member 3, and is located on the opposite side of the support plate portion 31 with respect to the substrate 35. Further, the power supply unit 5 is disposed closer to one side in the x direction of the base 1 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6. As shown in FIG. 4, the power supply unit 5 and the substrate 35 are connected by an LED cable 29. The LED cable 29 is disposed through the through hole 33 of the support member 3.
 取付手段6は、ベース1に対してLEDユニット2を固定するとともに、LEDユニット2をベース1に対して意図した距離をおいて離間させた状態を維持するためのものである。かかる意図により、取付手段6は、LEDユニット2にベース1に対してz方向において近接する近接状態と、LEDユニット2にベース1に対してz方向において離間する離間状態と、をとらせる。本実施形態においては、2つの取付手段6がx方向に互いに離間して配置されている。 The attachment means 6 is for fixing the LED unit 2 to the base 1 and maintaining the state where the LED unit 2 is separated from the base 1 at an intended distance. Due to this intention, the attachment means 6 causes the LED unit 2 to take a proximity state in which the LED unit 2 is close to the base 1 in the z direction and a LED unit 2 to be separated from the base 1 in the z direction. In the present embodiment, the two attachment means 6 are arranged apart from each other in the x direction.
 取付手段6は、アーム部61、捻じりバネ62、固定部材63および係合部材65を有する。 The mounting means 6 includes an arm portion 61, a torsion spring 62, a fixing member 63, and an engaging member 65.

 アーム部61は、固定部材63を介して、ベース1に開閉可能に取り付けられている。アーム部61は、たとえば金属または樹脂からなる。金属材料の例としては、ステンレス鋼などの剛体としての金属、またはバネ鋼などの弾性挙動を顕著に示す金属が挙げられる。 The arm portion 61 is attached to the base 1 through a fixing member 63 so as to be opened and closed. The arm portion 61 is made of, for example, metal or resin. Examples of the metal material include a metal as a rigid body such as stainless steel or a metal remarkably exhibiting elastic behavior such as spring steel.
 図2および図3は、アーム部61が閉状態をとった状態を示している。また、図19は、アーム部61が開状態をとった状態を示している。図2および図3に示すように、アーム部61が閉状態をとると、LEDユニット2が近接状態をとる。一方、図19に示すように、アーム部61が開状態をとると、LEDユニット2が離間状態をとる。 2 and 3 show a state in which the arm portion 61 is in a closed state. FIG. 19 shows a state in which the arm portion 61 is in an open state. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the arm portion 61 is in the closed state, the LED unit 2 is in the proximity state. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19, when the arm part 61 takes an open state, the LED unit 2 takes a separated state.
 アーム部61は、円弧状部611、係合部612および1対の側板部613を有する。円弧状部611は、閉状態においてLEDユニット2側に凸である円弧形状をなしている。係合部612は、アーム部61の先端に設けられており、係合部材65と係合する。図示された例においては、係合部612は、アーム部61の先端部分が折られることによって形成されている。一対の側板部613は、円弧状部611の根元側に繋がっている。一対の側板部613の各々には、貫通孔614が設けられている。貫通孔614には、軸部材66が挿通される。 The arm portion 61 includes an arc-shaped portion 611, an engaging portion 612, and a pair of side plate portions 613. The arc-shaped portion 611 has an arc shape that is convex toward the LED unit 2 in the closed state. The engaging portion 612 is provided at the tip of the arm portion 61 and engages with the engaging member 65. In the illustrated example, the engaging portion 612 is formed by folding the tip portion of the arm portion 61. The pair of side plate portions 613 are connected to the base side of the arc-shaped portion 611. Each of the pair of side plate portions 613 is provided with a through hole 614. The shaft member 66 is inserted through the through hole 614.
 捻じりバネ62は、アーム部61に対して閉方向に向かう弾性力を付与するものであり、本発明で言う弾性部材の一例である。捻じりバネ62の一端は固定部材63に作用力および反作用力を付与可能に接しまたは固定されており、他端はアーム部61に作用力および反作用力を付与可能に接しまたは固定されている。捻じりバネ62は、閉状態にあるアーム部61に閉方向の弾性力を付与するように設定および配置されていることが好ましい。 The torsion spring 62 applies an elastic force toward the closing direction to the arm portion 61, and is an example of an elastic member referred to in the present invention. One end of the torsion spring 62 is in contact with or fixed to the fixing member 63 so as to be able to apply an acting force and a reaction force, and the other end is in contact with or fixed to the arm portion 61 so as to be able to apply an acting force and a reaction force. The torsion spring 62 is preferably set and arranged so as to apply an elastic force in the closing direction to the arm portion 61 in the closed state.
 固定部材63は、アーム部61をベース1に対して取り付けるためのものであり、ベース1に固定されている。固定部材63は、溝状部631および一対の貫通孔632を有する。溝状部631は、捻じりバネ62の一端を収容している。一対の貫通孔632は、軸部材66が挿通される。アーム部61および固定部材63の双方に軸部材66が挿通されることにより、アーム部61は、固定部材63に対して開閉可能に支持されている。また、
固定部材63には、貫通孔633が形成されている。固定部材63をベース1に固定するには、たとえばビス、リベットまたはボルトなどを貫通孔633に挿通し、これらをベース1に固定する手法を採用できる。
The fixing member 63 is for attaching the arm portion 61 to the base 1 and is fixed to the base 1. The fixing member 63 has a groove-shaped portion 631 and a pair of through holes 632. The groove-shaped portion 631 accommodates one end of the torsion spring 62. The shaft member 66 is inserted through the pair of through holes 632. By inserting the shaft member 66 into both the arm portion 61 and the fixing member 63, the arm portion 61 is supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the fixing member 63. Also,
A through hole 633 is formed in the fixing member 63. In order to fix the fixing member 63 to the base 1, for example, a method of inserting screws, rivets, bolts or the like into the through holes 633 and fixing them to the base 1 can be employed.
 係合部材65は、LEDユニット2に固定されており、アーム部61の係合部612と係合する部位である。係合部材65は、窓部651を有している。窓部651は、たとえば矩形状であり、アーム部61が挿通されている。本実施形態においては、取付手段6によるLEDユニット2の支持位置とLEDユニット2のx方向端との距離Dは、LEDユニット2のx方向の長さLの3%以上25%以下である。なお、取付手段6によるLEDユニット2の支持位置は、本実施形態においては、係合部材65の窓部651においてアーム部61が当接するため、窓部651の位置として定義される。 The engaging member 65 is fixed to the LED unit 2 and is a part that engages with the engaging part 612 of the arm part 61. The engaging member 65 has a window portion 651. The window portion 651 has, for example, a rectangular shape, and the arm portion 61 is inserted therethrough. In this embodiment, the distance D between the support position of the LED unit 2 by the attachment means 6 and the x-direction end of the LED unit 2 is 3% or more and 25% or less of the length L of the LED unit 2 in the x direction. In the present embodiment, the support position of the LED unit 2 by the attachment means 6 is defined as the position of the window portion 651 because the arm portion 61 contacts the window portion 651 of the engaging member 65.
 本実施形態においては、アーム部61は、x方向およびz方向を含む平面において回動する。アーム部61は、閉状態であるときにベース1にz方向において最も近接し、開状態であるときにz方向においてベース1から最も離間する。アーム部61は、閉状態であるときにx方向に沿った姿勢をとる。アーム部61は、開状態であるときにz方向に沿った姿勢をとる。 In the present embodiment, the arm portion 61 rotates on a plane including the x direction and the z direction. The arm portion 61 is closest to the base 1 in the z direction when in the closed state, and is most separated from the base 1 in the z direction when in the open state. The arm portion 61 takes a posture along the x direction when in the closed state. The arm portion 61 takes a posture along the z direction when it is in the open state.
 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、図2および図3に示す状態においては、アーム部61が閉状態をとることにより、LEDユニット2が近接状態をとっている。アーム部61には、捻じりバネ62から閉方向への弾性力が付与されるため、近接状態が安定的に維持される。この結果、通常の使用時には、LEDユニット2がベース1に対して安定して固定される。一方、LEDユニット2の設置作業やLEDユニット2のいずれかの構成要素を交換する作業などを行う際には、使用者が捻じりバネ62の弾性力を上回る力でLEDユニット2をベース1から離間させようとすると、アーム部61が開状態に向かい、図19に示す開状態をとる。これにより、LEDユニット2は、ベース1から離間した離間状態をとる。この際、係合部材65がアーム部61と係合するため、LEDユニット2が、ベース1から誤って落下することなどを防止することができる。したがって、LED照明装置A1によれば、設置や交換の作業を適切に行うことが可能である。 According to the present embodiment, in the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the LED unit 2 is in the proximity state by the arm portion 61 being in the closed state. Since the elastic force in the closing direction is applied to the arm portion 61 from the torsion spring 62, the proximity state is stably maintained. As a result, the LED unit 2 is stably fixed to the base 1 during normal use. On the other hand, when performing an installation operation of the LED unit 2 or an operation of replacing any component of the LED unit 2, the user removes the LED unit 2 from the base 1 with a force exceeding the elastic force of the torsion spring 62. If it is going to separate, the arm part 61 will go to an open state, and will take the open state shown in FIG. As a result, the LED unit 2 is separated from the base 1. At this time, since the engaging member 65 is engaged with the arm portion 61, the LED unit 2 can be prevented from being accidentally dropped from the base 1. Therefore, according to the LED illumination device A1, it is possible to appropriately perform installation and replacement work.
 アーム部61とは別体とされた弾性部材としての捻じりバネ62を備えることにより、捻じりバネ62は、弾性力を発揮する機能のみが担保されればよい。たとえば、アーム部61と捻じりバネ62とを一体的に形成すると、アーム部61に相当する箇所にも弾性力を発揮することが求められる。しかしながら、アーム部61および捻じりバネ62をたとえば、バネ鋼などによって一体的に形成すると、開閉の動作において塑性変形してしまうことが懸念される。本実施形態においては、アーム部61には、弾性力の発揮が不要であるため、アーム部61として適切な剛性を有しうる構成とすることができる。また、捻じりバネ62は、意図しない塑性変形を生じない構成を選択することができる。 By providing the torsion spring 62 as an elastic member separated from the arm portion 61, the torsion spring 62 only needs to have a function of exerting an elastic force. For example, when the arm portion 61 and the torsion spring 62 are integrally formed, it is required to exert an elastic force at a portion corresponding to the arm portion 61. However, if the arm portion 61 and the torsion spring 62 are integrally formed of, for example, spring steel, there is a concern that plastic deformation may occur during the opening / closing operation. In the present embodiment, since the arm portion 61 does not need to exhibit an elastic force, the arm portion 61 can be configured to have appropriate rigidity. Further, the torsion spring 62 can be selected from a configuration that does not cause unintended plastic deformation.
 なお、アーム部61をバネ鋼によって形成した場合、図18に示す閉状態と開状態との間の状態において、アーム部61の先端がLEDユニット2に干渉しかけても、アーム部61が撓むことにより、この干渉を回避することができる。この結果、アーム部61の長さをより長くすることができる。これは、離間状態におけるベース1とLEDユニット2との距離を拡大するのに適している。 When the arm portion 61 is formed of spring steel, the arm portion 61 bends even when the tip of the arm portion 61 interferes with the LED unit 2 in the state between the closed state and the open state shown in FIG. Therefore, this interference can be avoided. As a result, the length of the arm part 61 can be made longer. This is suitable for increasing the distance between the base 1 and the LED unit 2 in the separated state.
 円弧状部611を有することにより、開状態においても、LEDユニット2の係合部材65に安定して係合することができる。アーム部61の先端に係合部612を設けておくことは、安定した係合に好ましい。 By having the arcuate portion 611, the engagement member 65 of the LED unit 2 can be stably engaged even in the open state. Providing the engaging portion 612 at the tip of the arm portion 61 is preferable for stable engagement.
 開状態となったアーム部61に付与される捻じりバネ62からの弾性力は、アーム部61の先端をx方向外方へと向かわせる方向に働く。この方向の力は、LEDユニット2を直ちにz方向上方へと向かわせるようには作用しない。このため、使用者がLEDユニット2を下降させることによってLEDユニット2に離間状態をとらせると、捻じりバネ62からの弾性力が作用しつつも、LEDユニット2の離間状態が維持される。 The elastic force from the torsion spring 62 applied to the arm portion 61 in the open state acts in a direction that causes the tip of the arm portion 61 to be directed outward in the x direction. The force in this direction does not act to immediately turn the LED unit 2 upward in the z direction. For this reason, when the user lowers the LED unit 2 to bring the LED unit 2 into the separated state, the separated state of the LED unit 2 is maintained while the elastic force from the torsion spring 62 acts.
 x方向に離間して配置された2つの取付手段6を備えることにより、LEDユニット2を安定して支持することができる。また、離間状態においては、2つの取付手段6において、アーム部61の先端をx方向外方にそれぞれ向かわせる弾性力が付勢されている。これにより、LEDユニット2をx方向においてより安定して支持しておくことができる。 The LED unit 2 can be stably supported by including the two attachment means 6 that are spaced apart in the x direction. Further, in the separated state, the two attachment means 6 are biased by elastic forces that respectively direct the tips of the arm portions 61 outward in the x direction. Thereby, the LED unit 2 can be supported more stably in the x direction.
 距離Dが、長さLの3%以上25%以下であることにより、LEDユニット2をより安定して支持することができる。 When the distance D is 3% or more and 25% or less of the length L, the LED unit 2 can be supported more stably.
 ベース1の貫通孔13には、電源ケーブル81が導かれる。この貫通孔13とLEDユニット2の電源部5とをx方向において重ならないように配置することにより、電源部5と電源ケーブル81とが干渉することを回避することが可能である。これは、LED照明装置A1のz方向高さを低くするのに適している。 The power cable 81 is guided to the through hole 13 of the base 1. By disposing the through hole 13 and the power supply unit 5 of the LED unit 2 so as not to overlap each other in the x direction, it is possible to avoid interference between the power supply unit 5 and the power supply cable 81. This is suitable for reducing the height in the z direction of the LED lighting device A1.

 本変形例においては、支持部材3がアルミなどの押出成形によって形成されている。支持部材3は、断面略コの字状である。また、電源部5は、支持部材3の支持板部31および一対の側板部32によって囲まれた空間に、その全体が収容されている。また、カバー4のy方向寸法は、支持部材3と略同じとされている。このような変形例であっても、設置や交換の作業を適切に行うことが可能である。 In this modification, the support member 3 is formed by extrusion molding such as aluminum. The support member 3 has a substantially U-shaped cross section. Further, the power supply unit 5 is entirely accommodated in a space surrounded by the support plate portion 31 and the pair of side plate portions 32 of the support member 3. The y-direction dimension of the cover 4 is substantially the same as that of the support member 3. Even in such a modification, it is possible to appropriately perform installation and replacement work.

 次に、LED照明灯A2の作用について説明する。 Next, the operation of the LED lighting A2 will be described.
 本実施形態によれば、LED発光部2の基板27が一対の固定具4の外天板部42によって支持部材1の天板部11に対して固定されている。また、一対の固定具4は、支持部材1よりも反射率が高い材質からなる。このため、支持部材1およびLED発光部2のみを備える構成と比較して、支持部材1、LED発光部2および固定具4の外観は、より反射率が高い領域が大きい。これにより、LED発光部2からの光のうち透光カバー3の内面によって内方に反射された光を、固定具4によって反射し、透光カバー3を透過させて出射することが可能である。したがって、LED発光部2の基板27を適切に固定しつつ、LED照明灯A2の高輝度化を図ることができる。 According to this embodiment, the substrate 27 of the LED light emitting unit 2 is fixed to the top plate 11 of the support member 1 by the outer top plate 42 of the pair of fixtures 4. Further, the pair of fixtures 4 are made of a material having a higher reflectance than the support member 1. For this reason, compared with the structure provided only with the support member 1 and the LED light emission part 2, the area | region where a reflectance is higher is large in the external appearance of the support member 1, the LED light emission part 2, and the fixing tool 4. FIG. Thereby, the light reflected inward by the inner surface of the translucent cover 3 out of the light from the LED light emitting unit 2 can be reflected by the fixture 4 and transmitted through the translucent cover 3 to be emitted. . Therefore, it is possible to increase the brightness of the LED illumination lamp A2 while appropriately fixing the substrate 27 of the LED light emitting unit 2.
 固定具4が白色樹脂からなることは、固定具4をより高反射な部材とするのに適している。支持部材1がアルミからなることにより、LED発光部2からの熱を放散することができる。 The fixture 4 made of white resin is suitable for making the fixture 4 a highly reflective member. When the support member 1 is made of aluminum, heat from the LED light emitting unit 2 can be dissipated.
 基板27に白色のレジスト層272が形成されていることにより、LED照明灯A2の高輝度化をさらに促進することができる。固定具4の外天板部42が基板27の配線パターン271とは重ならない構成とすることにより、外天板部42によって配線パターン271が損傷することを回避することができる。 Since the white resist layer 272 is formed on the substrate 27, it is possible to further promote the increase in brightness of the LED lighting lamp A2. By adopting a configuration in which the outer top plate portion 42 of the fixture 4 does not overlap the wiring pattern 271 of the substrate 27, it is possible to avoid the wiring pattern 271 from being damaged by the outer top plate portion 42.
 第1高反射領域率が、64%であることにより、配線パターン271の損傷を回避しつつ、LED照明灯A2の高輝度化を適切に図ることができる。三方第1高反射領域率が、69%であることにより、平面視においてのみでなく、LED発光部2からの光が透光カバー3の内面によって反射された後に支持部材1の側方に進行してきた場合であっても、固定具4によって反射する効果が期待できる。さらに、第2高反射領域率が、95%であることにより、支持部材1、LED発光部2および固定具4の上面に進行してきた光のほとんどを相対的に高い反射率の部位によって透光カバー3へと反射することができる。 When the first high reflection area ratio is 64%, it is possible to appropriately increase the brightness of the LED illumination lamp A2 while avoiding damage to the wiring pattern 271. Since the three-way first high reflection area ratio is 69%, the light from the LED light emitting section 2 travels to the side of the support member 1 after being reflected by the inner surface of the translucent cover 3 as well as in a plan view. Even in this case, the effect of reflection by the fixture 4 can be expected. Further, since the second high reflection area ratio is 95%, most of the light traveling on the upper surfaces of the support member 1, the LED light emitting unit 2, and the fixture 4 is transmitted through the relatively high reflectance portion. It can be reflected to the cover 3.
 図22および図23に示すように、下方リブ43を設けることにより、下方リブ43と外天板部42とによって外方リブ14を図中上下方向に挟む格好となる。これにより、支持部材1に対する固定具4の上下方向位置を規定することができる。また、内側方リブ46を設けることにより、内側方リブ46と外側板部41とによって外方リブ14を幅方向において挟む格好となる。これにより、支持部材1に対する固定具4の幅方向位置を規定することができる。さらに、外側方リブ44を設けることにより、外側方リブ44と内側方リブ46とによって外方リブ14を挟む構造となっている。これは、支持部材1に対する固定具4の幅方向位置の精度を高めるのに適している。複数の外側方リブ44を設けることは、高精度化に有利である。 22 and FIG. 23, by providing the lower rib 43, the outer rib 14 is sandwiched in the vertical direction in the figure by the lower rib 43 and the outer top plate portion 42. Thereby, the up-down direction position of the fixture 4 with respect to the support member 1 can be prescribed | regulated. Further, by providing the inner rib 46, the outer rib 14 is sandwiched in the width direction by the inner rib 46 and the outer plate portion 41. Thereby, the width direction position of the fixture 4 with respect to the support member 1 can be prescribed | regulated. Further, by providing the outer rib 44, the outer rib 14 is sandwiched between the outer rib 44 and the inner rib 46. This is suitable for increasing the accuracy of the position in the width direction of the fixture 4 with respect to the support member 1. Providing the plurality of outer side ribs 44 is advantageous for high accuracy.
 口金5において、本体ケース51、環状固定具52および環状パッキン53が互いに固定されている。環状パッキン53は、透光カバー3に外嵌されているものの、透光カバー3に対して固定されているものではない。このため、LED照明灯A2の使用環境において温度変化が生じると、透光カバー3は、支持部材1とは熱膨張係数が顕著に異なるため、透光カバー3と支持部材1とは熱変形の度合いが大きく異なる。この差異、支持部材1と本体ケース51、環状固定具52および環状パッキン53とが、長手方向において一体的な挙動を示し、環状パッキン53は、透光カバー3に対して相対動することとなる。環状パッキン53は、透光カバー3の長手方向端部から退避した位置にあるため、透光カバー3に対して相対動しても、透光カバー3から外れることなく、透光カバー3内の気密性を保ち続ける。したがって、LED照明灯A2は、温度変化が生じる環境においてより適切に使用することが可能である。 In the base 5, the main body case 51, the annular fixture 52 and the annular packing 53 are fixed to each other. The annular packing 53 is externally fitted to the translucent cover 3, but is not fixed to the translucent cover 3. For this reason, when a temperature change occurs in the usage environment of the LED lighting lamp A2, the translucent cover 3 has a significantly different thermal expansion coefficient from that of the support member 1, and thus the translucent cover 3 and the support member 1 are thermally deformed. The degree varies greatly. Due to this difference, the support member 1, the main body case 51, the annular fixture 52 and the annular packing 53 exhibit an integral behavior in the longitudinal direction, and the annular packing 53 moves relative to the translucent cover 3. . Since the annular packing 53 is in a position retracted from the longitudinal end portion of the translucent cover 3, even if it moves relative to the translucent cover 3, the annular packing 53 does not come off from the translucent cover 3 and does not come out of the translucent cover 3. Keep airtightness. Therefore, the LED lighting A2 can be used more appropriately in an environment where temperature changes occur.
 本体ケース51および環状固定具52が、透光カバー3に対して相対動可能である。これにより、透光カバー3の挙動が本体ケース51および環状固定具52を介して支持部材1によって拘束されることを回避することができる。 The main body case 51 and the annular fixture 52 are movable relative to the translucent cover 3. Thereby, it is possible to avoid the behavior of the translucent cover 3 being restrained by the support member 1 via the main body case 51 and the annular fixture 52.
 本体ケース51と透光カバー3とが長手方向において重なる部分を有することにより、温度変化によって伸縮が生じた際に、透光カバー3が本体ケース51から抜け出てしまうことを防止することができる。 Since the main body case 51 and the translucent cover 3 have a portion overlapping in the longitudinal direction, it is possible to prevent the translucent cover 3 from coming out of the main body case 51 when expansion or contraction occurs due to a temperature change.
 環状固定具52を係合によって本体ケース51に固定することにより、組み立てや分解をより容易とすることができる。本体ケース51の突起515と環状固定具52の係合孔521とを設けることは、本体ケース51と環状固定具52との係合を実現するのに合理的である。環状固定具52が複数の個片部520からなるため、突起515を係合孔521に嵌めこむようにして複数の個片部520同士を連結することにより、環状固定具52を本体ケース51に対して適切に取り付けることができる。 The assembly and disassembly can be made easier by fixing the annular fixture 52 to the main body case 51 by engagement. Providing the protrusion 515 of the main body case 51 and the engagement hole 521 of the annular fixture 52 is reasonable for realizing the engagement between the main body case 51 and the annular fixture 52. Since the annular fixture 52 is composed of a plurality of pieces 520, the annular fixture 52 is connected to the main body case 51 by connecting the pieces 520 to each other so that the projection 515 is fitted in the engagement hole 521. Can be installed properly.
 環状パッキン53を係合によって環状固定具52に固定することにより、組み立てや分解をより容易とすることができる。環状パッキン53の外部係合環状突起532と環状固定具52の環状溝522とを設けることは、環状固定具52と環状パッキン53との係合を実現するのに合理的である。 By fixing the annular packing 53 to the annular fixture 52 by engagement, assembly and disassembly can be facilitated. Providing the outer engaging annular protrusion 532 of the annular packing 53 and the annular groove 522 of the annular fixing member 52 is rational for realizing the engagement between the annular fixing member 52 and the annular packing 53.
 環状パッキン53が外部先端環状突起533を有することにより、温度変化、特に常温からより高温となる変化が生じた場合に、相対的に伸長する透光カバー3に伴って、環状パッキン53が環状固定具52の内側に入り込んでしまうことを阻止することができる。 Since the annular packing 53 has the outer tip annular projection 533, the annular packing 53 is annularly fixed along with the light-transmitting cover 3 that relatively expands when a temperature change, particularly a change from room temperature to a higher temperature occurs. It can prevent entering the inside of the tool 52.
 内部中間環状突起534を設けることにより、環状パッキン53と透光カバー3との接触面積を減少させることができる。環状パッキン53がゴムなどの柔軟性に富む材質からなる場合、接触面積の現象により、摩擦力を低減させることが可能である。これにより、透光カバー3に対して環状パッキン53をよりスムーズに相対動させることができる。複数の内部中間環状突起534を設けることにより、摩擦力の低減と環状パッキン53を透光カバー3に安定して外嵌させることとを両立することができる。 By providing the inner intermediate annular protrusion 534, the contact area between the annular packing 53 and the translucent cover 3 can be reduced. When the annular packing 53 is made of a flexible material such as rubber, the frictional force can be reduced due to the phenomenon of the contact area. Thereby, the annular packing 53 can be moved relatively smoothly with respect to the translucent cover 3. By providing the plurality of internal intermediate annular protrusions 534, it is possible to achieve both reduction of frictional force and stable outer fitting of the annular packing 53 to the translucent cover 3.
 内部先端環状突起535を設けることにより、環状パッキン53の長手方向内方、すなわち環状パッキン53と外部との境界において、気密性をより確実に確保することができる。 By providing the inner tip annular protrusion 535, the airtightness can be more reliably ensured at the inner side in the longitudinal direction of the annular packing 53, that is, at the boundary between the annular packing 53 and the outside.
 ねじ59を支持部材1の筒状部13に螺合させることにより、支持部材1と本体ケース51とをより確実に固定させることができる。一対の筒状部13は、支持部材1の長手方向全長にわたって形成されており、透光カバー3の一対の内方リブ32と係合している。これにより、支持部材1に対して透光カバー3が周方向にずれてしまうことを阻止することができる。 By screwing the screw 59 into the cylindrical portion 13 of the support member 1, the support member 1 and the main body case 51 can be more reliably fixed. The pair of cylindrical portions 13 are formed over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the support member 1 and are engaged with the pair of inward ribs 32 of the translucent cover 3. Thereby, it can prevent that the translucent cover 3 slip | deviates with respect to the supporting member 1 in the circumferential direction.
 一対の固定具4によってLED発光部2の基板27を支持部材1に対して固定することにより、比較的長尺の基板27であっても、長手方向全長にわたって支持部材1に沿わせることができる。 By fixing the substrate 27 of the LED light emitting unit 2 to the support member 1 with the pair of fixtures 4, even the relatively long substrate 27 can be fitted along the support member 1 over the entire length in the longitudinal direction. .
 図37および図38は、本発明の他の実施形態を示している。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。 37 and 38 show another embodiment of the present invention. 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37は、本発明の第3実施形態に基づくLED照明灯を示している。本実施形態のLED照明灯A3は、一対の固定具4とLED発光部2の基板27との関係が、上述した実施形態と異なっている。本実施形態においては、一対の固定具4の外天板部42は、平面視において、レジスト層272に重なるとともに、配線パターン271にも重なっている。また、同図によく表れているように、一対の固定具4の外天板部42の幅方向内端縁は、複数のLEDモジュール20に隣接する位置に配置されている。 FIG. 37 shows an LED illuminating lamp according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The LED illuminating lamp A3 of this embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in the relationship between the pair of fixtures 4 and the substrate 27 of the LED light emitting unit 2. In the present embodiment, the outer top plate portion 42 of the pair of fixtures 4 overlaps the resist layer 272 and also the wiring pattern 271 in plan view. Further, as clearly shown in the figure, the inner edge in the width direction of the outer top plate portion 42 of the pair of fixtures 4 is disposed at a position adjacent to the plurality of LED modules 20.
 このような構成により、本実施形態においては、第1高反射領域率が、80%とされている。また、三方第1高反射領域率は、79%となっている。第2高反射領域率は、LED照明灯A2と同様に95%程度である。 With such a configuration, in the present embodiment, the first high reflection area ratio is 80%. The three-way first high reflection area ratio is 79%. The second high reflection area ratio is about 95%, similar to the LED illumination lamp A2.
 このような実施形態によれば、LED照明灯A3の高輝度化をさらに高めることができる。また、LED照明灯A2およびLED照明灯A3から理解できるように、第1高反射領域率の下限は、外天板部42を配線パターン271とは重ならない構成とした場合であり、上限は、外天板部42がLEDモジュール20に隣接する構成とした場合である。したがって、第1高反射領域率は、64%以上80%以下であることが好ましい。同様に、三方第2高反射領域率は、69%以上79%以下であることが好ましい。また、第2高反射領域率は、90%以上95%以下であることが好ましい。 According to such an embodiment, it is possible to further increase the brightness of the LED lighting A3. Moreover, as can be understood from the LED lighting lamp A2 and the LED lighting lamp A3, the lower limit of the first high reflection area ratio is a case where the outer top plate portion 42 is configured not to overlap the wiring pattern 271. This is a case where the outer top plate portion 42 is configured to be adjacent to the LED module 20. Therefore, the first high reflection area ratio is preferably 64% or more and 80% or less. Similarly, the three-way second high reflection area ratio is preferably 69% or more and 79% or less. The second high reflection area ratio is preferably 90% or more and 95% or less.
 図38は、本発明の第4実施形態に基づくLED照明灯を示している。本実施形態のLED照明灯A4は、口金5の構成が上述した実施形態と異なっている。本実施形態の口金5は、本体ケース51および端子55を有している。本体ケース51は、たとえば樹脂からなる有底円筒形状の部材である。端子55には溝部56が設けられている。溝部56には、透光カバー3が挿入されている。端子55は、電源ケーブル81によって、LED発光部2に電力供給するための電源部5に接続されている。電源部5と基板27とは、LEDケーブル29によって接続されている。このような実施形態によっても、LED発光部2の基板27を適切に固定しつつ、LED照明灯A4の高輝度化を図ることができる。 FIG. 38 shows an LED illuminating lamp according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The LED illumination lamp A4 of the present embodiment is different from the above-described embodiment in the configuration of the base 5. The base 5 of this embodiment has a main body case 51 and a terminal 55. The main body case 51 is a bottomed cylindrical member made of resin, for example. The terminal 55 is provided with a groove 56. The translucent cover 3 is inserted into the groove portion 56. The terminal 55 is connected to the power source unit 5 for supplying power to the LED light emitting unit 2 by a power cable 81. The power supply unit 5 and the substrate 27 are connected by an LED cable 29. Even in such an embodiment, it is possible to increase the brightness of the LED illumination lamp A4 while appropriately fixing the substrate 27 of the LED light emitting unit 2.
 本発明に係るLED照明灯は、上述した実施形態に限定されるものではない。本発明に係るLED照明灯の各部の具体的な構成は、種々に設計変更自在である。 The LED illumination lamp according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The specific configuration of each part of the LED illumination lamp according to the present invention can be varied in design in various ways.
