  However, since the light bulb shaped lamp described in Patent Document 2 has a shape in which the illumination side on which the LEDs are arranged is thick and the socket side is thin, the size of the fan blades arranged on the socket side is the above light bulb shaped lamp. It is regulated by the shape of For this reason, the fan blade | wing must be made small and there exists a subject that the ventilation efficiency of a fan falls.

  Further, in the light bulb shaped lamp described in Patent Document 2, the substrate and the motor for rotating the fan are close to each other. For this reason, the heat of LED of the said board | substrate will be directly transmitted to the shaft of the said motor, and the subject that the lifetime of the fan attached to the shaft will become short occurs.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an illuminating device having a high cooling efficiency and a long life without reducing the size of the cooling fan and without directly transferring heat to the motor shaft of the cooling fan.

  The lighting device of the present invention has a case having a base at one end and an opening at the other end, an LED installed on the mounting substrate, and the heat of the LED and the mounting substrate attached to the back surface of the mounting substrate. The heat sink comprising: a heat sink that dissipates heat; a blower that includes a motor with a fan attached to a shaft end; and a lens that diffuses the light from the LED; Is mounted on the case in a state where the blower is housed in the case, and the lens is mounted on the heat sink so as to cover the LED.

  According to the present invention, since the fan can be arranged in the large-diameter portion of the bulb, it is necessary to make the cooling fan small when applied to the bulb-type LED lamp in which the illumination side where the LED is arranged is thick and the socket side is thin. Absent. Therefore, a lighting device with high cooling efficiency and a long lifetime can be realized. Further, since the motor does not come into contact with the fan, the heat from the LED is not directly transmitted to the fan shaft, so that the life of the blower can be extended.

(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is an external view of a lighting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the lighting device. Hereinafter, the illuminating device which concerns on this invention is demonstrated with the example embodied with the light bulb-shaped LED lamp.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the bulb-type LED lamp 100 is configured by attaching a heat sink 120 on which an LED is mounted to a case 110 and attaching a lens 160 to the heat sink 120 so as to cover the LED.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a light bulb shaped LED lamp 100 includes a case 110 having a base 110a at one end attached to the base 101 and an opening 110b having the other end opened in a cylindrical shape. The outer peripheral fin 120a is attached to the opening 110b with the same diameter, and the heat sink 120 that cools the LED 151 through the LED mounting board 150, the air blower 130 that is supported in the case 110 and blows toward the heat sink 120, and A power supply board 140 and a spherical lens 160 attached to the outer peripheral end 120b of the heat sink 120 are provided.

  The case 110 is made of a member having good heat dissipation, such as an aluminum alloy. The case 110 is formed in a bowl shape that gradually increases in diameter from the base 110a on one end side to the opening 110b on the other end side. A base 101 is embedded in the base 110a from the outside. In the opening 110b at the other end of the case 110, a heat sink 120 having an outer peripheral fin 120a having substantially the same diameter is screwed 171 together with a flange portion through hole 137d of the air blower 130 installed in the case 110 and the inner wall of the case 110. The screw 171 is fastened together with a screw 171. In addition, a plurality of air inlets 110 c are formed in a long hole shape along the axial direction of the case 110 and spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the case 110.

  The base 101 is of an E17 type, for example, and is electrically connected to the power supply board 140 and the LED mounting board 150 side by wiring (not shown), and includes a screw thread that is screwed into the lamp socket of the bulb-type LED lamp 100.

  The blower 130 is screwed together with the heat sink 120 in the case 110 and on one end side of the case 110, separated from the inner wall of the case 110.

  The air blower 130 cools the heat sink 120 by causing an air flow through the heat sink 120.

  In the blower device 130, the power supply board 140 is placed on the base 110 a side, and the power supply board 140 is attached to the inner wall of the base 110 a with screws 172.

  In the blower device 130, the motor 131 is housed in the frame 137. The frame 137 containing the motor 131 is fastened together with screws 171 to the screwing 110d on the inner wall of the case 110 together with the heat sink 120 from the bottom through the flange portion through hole 137d.

  Thus, unlike the conventional structure in which the air blower 130 attaches a motor to an LED mounting board and a power supply board, the air blower 130 basically has a non-attached portion of the blade 133 on the base 110a side in the case 110. It is attached in the case 110 so as to face. In the present embodiment, the frame 137 containing the motor 131 is fastened together with the heat sink 120 to the screwing 110d on the inner wall of the case 110 with the screw 171. That is, the blower 130 is not fixed to the LED mounting board and the power supply board, but is attached to the base 110a in the case 110. Accordingly, the power supply board 140 is separated from the LED mounting board 150 and attached directly to the base 110 a in the case 110.

  Since the LED mounting board 150 and the power supply board 140 are arranged apart from each other, there is an advantage that the mutual heat generation is dispersed and the cooling effect is improved.

  The LED mounting board 150 on which the LED 151 is mounted is attached to the heat sink 120, and the heat generated by the LED 151 mounted on the LED mounting board 150 is cooled. The heat sink 120 includes outer peripheral fins 120a to improve the cooling effect.

  The heat sink 120 is made of a metal material such as aluminum having a good thermal conductivity, for example, and allows the air from the blower 130 accommodated in the center part to escape from the outer peripheral fin 120a which is an exhaust port formed in the outer peripheral part. .

  A spherical lens 160 is attached to the outer peripheral end 120 b of the heat sink 120.

  The heat sink 120 is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the case 110 and the lens 160.

  Note that the air inlet 110c of the case 110 and the outer peripheral fin 120a that is the air outlet of the heat sink 120 may be in the opposite wind direction.

  The air blower 130 has a motor 131 (FIG. 3) with a blade 133 attached to the shaft end, and the blade 133 is arranged on the heat sink 120 side. Details of the blower 130 will be described later.

  The power supply board 140 is a power supply circuit for supplying DC power to the blower 130.

  The LED mounting board 150 mounts the LED 151. The LED mounting substrate 150 is a metal base substrate formed of a metal material such as aluminum having good heat dissipation or an insulating material, for example. The LED mounting substrate 150 is in contact with the heat sink 120 to dissipate heat.

  The LED mounting substrate 150 is provided in contact with the heat sink 120 that cools the heat generated by the LEDs 151.

  The lens 160 is formed in a flat spherical shape with light-diffusing glass or synthetic resin, and covers the LED mounting substrate 150 to diffuse the light from the LED 151.

  As described above, the power supply board 140, the air blower 130, the heat sink 120, and the LED mounting board 150 are arranged inside the case 110 and the lens 160 in order from the base 110 a side of the case 110.

  The lens 160 is bonded to the heat sink 120, and the LED mounting substrate 150 and the LED 151 are disposed between the lens 160 and the heat sink 120.

  The power supply board 140 mounts a power supply unit that supplies power to the blower 130.

  The power supply board 140 is fixed to the case 110 by screws 172 (FIG. 2), and the heat sink 120 and the blower 130 are fixed to the case 110 by screws 171 (FIG. 2).

  The air blower 130 and the heat sink 120 have a circular shape, and the heat sink 120 has a larger diameter. Further, the blower 130 and the heat sink 120 may be integrated.

  3 is a cross-sectional view of the blower of the lighting device according to the present embodiment, FIG. 4 is a front view of the blower, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the blower.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the air blower 130 includes a motor 131, a shaft 132, a blade 133 that is rotationally driven by the shaft 132, a stator 134, an annular magnet 135, and a blower control board 136. The frame 137 that covers the outer periphery of the blade 133 is configured as a unit. The blade 133 is attached to the end of the shaft 132 of the motor 131.

  That is, in the blower device 130, the end portion of the shaft 132 to which the blade 133 is attached is disposed on the heat sink 120 side, and the shaft 132 portion to which the blade 133 is not attached is disposed on one end side of the case 110. The air blower 130 includes a frame 137 that covers the outer periphery of the blade 133, and the frame 137 contacts the heat sink 120 and does not contact the blade 133 and the shaft 132.

  The shaft 132, the stator 134, the annular magnet 135, and the blower control board 136 constitute a motor 131 as a whole.

  The frame 137 includes a flange portion through hole 137d for a screw 171 (FIG. 2), and the screw 171 passes through the flange portion through hole 137d and fixes the blower 130 to the case 110.

  Here, the frame 137 is in contact with the heat sink 120, while other components such as the blade 133, the shaft 132, and the stator 134 are not in contact. For this reason, the heat of the heat sink 120 does not directly move to other components such as the blade 133, the shaft 132, and the stator 134. Further, the frame 137 and the heat sink 120 may be spaced to prevent direct contact.

  The frame 137 includes a flat portion 137a that supports the blade 133, the shaft 132, the stator 134, and the like, and a peripheral portion 137b that is formed so as to surround the periphery of the blade 133. The flat portion 137a and the peripheral portion 137b are connected by a plurality of leg portions 137c.

  The shaft 132 is rotatably supported by the flat portion 137a, and rotates the blade 133. The rotation of the blade 133 is driven by the annular magnet 135 and the stator 134.

  The stator 134 is formed by laminating metal plates made of a magnetic material in the axial direction of the rotation shaft. An insulating layer is formed on each tooth portion of the stator 134 by electrodeposition coating or the like, and a coil is wound through the insulating layer. A magnetic field is generated by passing a current through the coil, and the stator 134 is driven by being attracted and repelled by the magnet 135.

  The structure of the drive unit is not limited to the above structure, and any structure may be used as long as it can drive the blower 130.

  Hereinafter, the arrangement | positioning direction of the air blower 130 which is the characteristics of this invention is demonstrated.

  The shaft 132 has an attachment portion of the blade 133 (see FIG. 3A) and a non-attachment portion of the blade 133 (see FIG. 3B). The outer diameter of the attachment portion of the blade 133 is much larger than the outer diameter of the non-attachment portion. Big. Furthermore, since there is a frame 137 for adjusting the direction of the wind on the outer periphery of the attachment portion of the blade 133, the outer diameter of the difference between the attachment portions of the blade 133 is very large as shown in FIG. Moreover, the attachment part of the blade | wing 133 has a large wind strength.

  In the present embodiment, the blower 130 is installed in the case 110 such that the attachment portion of the blade 133 having a large outer diameter and a large blowing force is directed to the LED mounting substrate 150 via the heat sink 120. . When the air blower 130 is arranged in this manner, the non-attached portion (see FIG. 3B) of the blade 133 is installed facing the base 110 a in the case 110. Now, when looking again at the shape of the case 110, the case 110 has a hemispherical shape in which the diameter is reduced toward the base 110a and the opening 110b is gradually enlarged. For this reason, the non-attached portion of the blade 133 (see FIG. 3B) fits well on the base 110a side in the case 110, while the attached portion of the blade 133 has a margin in the opening 110b of the case 110 together with the frame 137. Stored. In other words, it is possible to use a blade having a large diameter that matches the size of the opening 110b of the case 110, and it is possible to realize a blower that is quiet and has good cooling efficiency.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the lighting apparatus configured as described above will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the wind flow of the lighting apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 6, a solid line and a broken line arrow indicate the flow of the wind.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the stator 134 of the air blower 130 is arranged on the base 110a side, and the blades 133 are arranged on the heat sink 120 side. Further, the frame 137 contacts the heat sink 120 and does not contact the blade 133 and the shaft 132.

  By adopting such a configuration, since heat does not move directly from the heat sink 120 toward the shaft 132, the life of the fan and the blower can be extended. Moreover, the blade | wing 133 can be formed large. That is, the outer diameter of the case 110 is narrower on the base 110a side and larger on the lens 160 side. This is because the thickness of the base 101 of the base 110a is defined. On the other hand, the lens 160 is thick in order to give the light of the LED 151 in a wide range.

  In the present embodiment, the air blower 130 arranges the end portion of the shaft 132 to which the blade 133 is attached on the heat sink 120 side, and arranges the shaft 132 portion to which the blade 133 is not attached on one end side of the case 110. To do. That is, by arranging the stator 134 of the motor 131 so as to be on the base 110a side and arranging the blades 133 on the heat sink 120 side, the blades 133 can be formed larger.

  Further, in order to improve the air blowing efficiency of the air blowing device 130, the peripheral portion 137b of the frame 137 is required around the blade 133 in order to regulate the direction of the wind. If there is no surrounding part 137b, ventilation efficiency will fall. A region A in FIG. 3 is a region where the peripheral portion 137 b is provided, and is a region where the blower 130 becomes thick in the radial direction of the blower 130. However, the region B where the blades 133 do not exist includes only the flat portion 137a, the blower control base 136, a part of the stator 134, and the like. Since it is not necessary to form the surrounding part 137b, it becomes an area | region which can comprise the air blower 130 thinly in the radial direction of the air blower 130. FIG.

  As described above, by arranging the region A on the heat sink 120 side and the region B on the base 110a side, the blade 133 can be formed larger even if the size of the case 110 is the same. As a result, the blowing efficiency of the blower 130 is improved, and the rotation speed can be suppressed due to the large blade 133, so that the noise can be reduced.

  As described above in detail, the bulb-type LED lamp 100 according to the present embodiment includes the case 110 having the base 110a having one end attached to the base 101 and the opening 110b having the other end opened in a cylindrical shape, and the opening. 110b has an outer peripheral portion 120a of the same diameter, a heat sink 120 that cools the LED mounting board 150, a blower 130 that is supported in the case 110 and blows air toward the heat sink 120, its power supply board 140, and the heat sink 120 And a spherical lens 160 attached to the outer peripheral end 120b.

  The blower device 130 includes a motor 131 and a blade 133 that rotates by being attached to one end of the shaft 132 of the motor 131, and the end of the shaft 132 to which the blade 133 is attached is located on the heat sink 120 side. The portion of the shaft 132 that is disposed and not attached with the blade 133 is disposed on one end side of the case 110. The air blower 130 includes a frame 137 that covers the outer periphery of the blade 133, and the frame 137 contacts the heat sink 120 and does not contact the blade 133 and the shaft 132.

  According to this configuration, when applied to a light bulb shaped lamp in which the illumination side on which the LED is disposed is thick and the socket side is thin, the fan can be disposed in the large diameter portion of the light bulb, so that the fan blades are not reduced. In addition, it is possible to realize a lighting device with good cooling efficiency and a long life. Further, the heat from the LED 151 is not directly transmitted to the motor shaft of the cooling fan, and the life of the fan and the blower can be extended.

  Further, since the LED mounting board 150 and the power supply board 140 are arranged apart from each other, there is an advantage that the heat generation is dispersed and the cooling effect is improved.

  The above description is an illustration of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to this.

  In the said embodiment, although the name of the air blower and the illuminating device was used, this is for convenience of explanation, and an air blower etc. may be sufficient.

  Furthermore, each component which comprises the said air blower and an illuminating device, for example, the kind of case, a board | substrate, etc., is not restricted to embodiment mentioned above.

  The illuminating device of the present invention is suitable for use in a bulb-type LED lamp including a blower that cools the LED mounting substrate.
