Description

Related to lighting. The present invention also relates to an LED illumination device having the LED illumination lamp.
 さらに、本発明は、発光ダイオードを用いたLED照明灯を有するLED照明システムに関する。より詳しくは、本発明は、蛍光灯の代わりに使用可能なLED照明灯を用い、明るさを調整可能なLED照明システムに関する。 Furthermore, the present invention relates to an LED illumination system having an LED illumination lamp using a light emitting diode. More specifically, the present invention relates to an LED illumination system that uses an LED illumination lamp that can be used in place of a fluorescent lamp and can adjust brightness.
 蛍光灯は、白熱電球に比べて眩しさが少なく、発光効率が高く、寿命が長いことから、オフィスなどの照明灯として広く使用されている。蛍光灯は、蛍光物質が管内に塗布された真空ガラス管と、両端に取り付けられた電極とで構成されており、その両端の電極に電圧を印加することで、気体の放電が起こって光を発する。真空ガラス管には、少量の水銀蒸気と、放電を起きやすくするための少量のアルゴンガスが封じ込まれている。 Fluorescent lamps are widely used as lighting lamps in offices and the like because they have less glare than incandescent bulbs, have high luminous efficiency, and have a long lifetime. A fluorescent lamp is composed of a vacuum glass tube in which a fluorescent material is applied in a tube and electrodes attached to both ends. By applying a voltage to the electrodes on both ends, a gas discharge occurs and light is emitted. To emit. The vacuum glass tube contains a small amount of mercury vapor and a small amount of argon gas for facilitating discharge.
 このように構成された蛍光灯は、上記のように真空ガラス管に水銀蒸気を密閉しなければならず製造が困難であるという問題があった。また、蛍光灯の寿命はそれほど長くなく、寿命が近づいたときにはチラツキが生じるという問題もあった。消費電力の観点からも十分とは言えなかった。 Fluorescent lamps constructed in this way have a problem that mercury vapor must be sealed in a vacuum glass tube as described above, making it difficult to manufacture. In addition, the life of fluorescent lamps is not so long, and there is a problem that flickering occurs when the life is approaching. It was not enough from the viewpoint of power consumption.
 そこで、近年、LEDを光源として使用したLED照明灯が注目されている。LED照明灯は、消費電力や寿命の観点において蛍光灯より格段に優れている。特に、蛍光灯の外観を維持したLED照明灯を、蛍光灯の代わりに既設の蛍光灯照明用器具に取り付けることができれば、そのメリットは大きい。 Therefore, in recent years, LED illumination lamps using LEDs as light sources have attracted attention. LED illumination lamps are far superior to fluorescent lamps in terms of power consumption and lifetime. In particular, if an LED illuminating lamp that maintains the appearance of a fluorescent lamp can be attached to an existing apparatus for illuminating a fluorescent lamp instead of the fluorescent lamp, the advantage is great.
 しかし、既設の蛍光灯照明用器具には、グロースタータ式、ラピッドスタート式及びインバータ式など点灯方式が異なるものが存在する。 However, existing fluorescent lighting devices have different lighting methods such as a glow starter type, a rapid start type, and an inverter type.
 グロースタータ式の蛍光灯照明用器具は、一般に安定器とグロースタータにより構成されており、グロースタータの内部で起きる放電により電流を流し、蛍光灯両端のフィラメントを予熱することで蛍光灯を点灯させるものである。ラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具は、蛍光灯両端のフィラメントを予熱するための巻線付きの安定器を有しており、フィラメントを予熱し始動補助導体との間に微弱な放電を発生させることで蛍光灯を点灯させるものである。インバータ式の蛍光灯照明用器具は、商用の交流電源を整流及び平滑し、20000-100000Hzの高周波の交流に変換することで、蛍光灯を点灯させるものである。 A glow starter-type fluorescent lamp lighting fixture is generally composed of a ballast and a glow starter. A current is caused by a discharge generated inside the glow starter, and the filament is lit by preheating the filaments at both ends of the fluorescent lamp. Is. The rapid start type fluorescent lamp lighting fixture has a ballast with a winding for preheating the filaments at both ends of the fluorescent lamp, and preheats the filament to generate a weak discharge between the starting auxiliary conductors. Thus, the fluorescent lamp is turned on. Inverter-type fluorescent lamp lighting devices illuminate a fluorescent lamp by rectifying and smoothing a commercial AC power source and converting it into an alternating current with a high frequency of 20000-100,000 Hz.
 このように、同じ定格電圧の器具であっても、点灯方式によって、入力される電圧、電流、周波数が異なる。また、同じ点灯方式であっても、電圧、電流及び周波数の特性は、メーカーにより少しずつ異なる。さらに、蛍光灯の両端にある端子ピン対の内、いずれの端子ピンが電源と接続されているかは、蛍光灯照明用器具のメーカーにより異なるという現状もある。 In this way, the input voltage, current, and frequency differ depending on the lighting method even if the appliances have the same rated voltage. Moreover, even with the same lighting method, the characteristics of voltage, current, and frequency vary little by manufacturer. Furthermore, there is a current situation that which of the terminal pin pairs at both ends of the fluorescent lamp is connected to the power source depends on the manufacturer of the fluorescent lamp illumination device.
 特許文献1には、一方の端部に配置された第1及び第2電極ピンに第1の整流回路が接続され、他方の端部に配置された第3及び第4電極ピンに第2の整流回路が接続され、それぞれの整流回路の直流端子がLEDに接続されているLED照明装置が記載されている。そして、第1電極ピンと第2電極ピンの間に第1のインピーダンス回路を接続し、第3電極ピンと第4電極ピンの間に第2のインピーダンス回路を接続することで、このLED照明装置を既存のインバータ方式の照明用器具に装着して使用可能としている。特許文献2にも、所定のインピーダンス素子を備えてなるLED照明灯が記載されている。 In Patent Document 1, the first rectifier circuit is connected to the first and second electrode pins arranged at one end, and the second and third electrode pins arranged at the other end are connected to the second rectifier circuit. An LED lighting device is described in which a rectifier circuit is connected and a DC terminal of each rectifier circuit is connected to an LED. Then, by connecting the first impedance circuit between the first electrode pin and the second electrode pin, and connecting the second impedance circuit between the third electrode pin and the fourth electrode pin, this LED illumination device can be used. It can be used by being mounted on an inverter-type lighting fixture. Patent Document 2 also describes an LED illumination lamp including a predetermined impedance element.
 一方、オフィス、店舗、工場などの天井には、2本の蛍光灯を平行に取り付け可能な二灯用の蛍光灯照明用器具が多数設置されており、そこに多数の蛍光灯を取り付けて室内全体の照明としていることが多い。ただ、最近は省エネルギーが叫ばれていることから、例えば昼間のように照明による明るさをあまり必要としないときには、2本の蛍光灯のうち1本のみを外して消灯させたいという要望も多い。 On the other hand, on the ceilings of offices, shops, factories, etc., there are many fluorescent lighting fixtures for two lamps that can mount two fluorescent lamps in parallel. In many cases, the entire lighting is used. However, since energy saving has recently been screamed, there are many requests that only one of the two fluorescent lamps be removed and turned off when not much brightness is required by illumination, such as in the daytime.
 しかしながら、二灯用の蛍光灯照明用器具は直列式であることが多く、その場合には、2本の蛍光灯のうち1本を外してしまうと残りの1本の蛍光灯も消灯してしまい、1本の蛍光灯のみを点灯した状態を実現することはできない。 However, in many cases, the fluorescent lamp lighting fixtures for two lamps are in series, and if one of the two fluorescent lamps is removed, the remaining one fluorescent lamp is turned off. Therefore, it is impossible to realize a state in which only one fluorescent lamp is lit.
 特許文献3には、二灯用の蛍光灯照明用器具にある一方のソケットには直流抵抗成分の小さい通電手段を含むダミー管を取り付け、もう一方のソケットに通常の蛍光灯を取り付けて、1本の蛍光灯のみを点灯させるようにした蛍光灯器具が記載されている。 In Patent Document 3, a dummy tube including a current-carrying means having a small DC resistance component is attached to one socket of a two-lamp fluorescent lamp illumination device, and a normal fluorescent lamp is attached to the other socket. Fluorescent lamp fixtures are described in which only a single fluorescent lamp is lit.

 インバータ式の蛍光灯照明用器具は、他の2つの方式に比べるとまだ歴史が浅いために普及度が低く、インバータ回路は高周波回路で構成されていることから、それに対応したLED照明灯を製造するにあたっては、多くの部品が必要になりコスト高になる可能性が高い。 Inverter-type fluorescent lamp lighting fixtures are not as popular as the other two methods, so their popularity is low, and the inverter circuit is composed of a high-frequency circuit. In doing so, it is likely that many parts are required and the cost is high.
 一方、グロースタータ式及びラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具は、歴史が古く圧倒的に市場に数多く出回っており、なかでもラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具の普及率は高い。したがって、特にラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具に取り付け可能なLED照明灯が実現できれば、普及の面でもコストの面でも有利である。 On the other hand, glow starter type and rapid start type fluorescent lamp lighting fixtures have a long history and are on the market overwhelmingly, and the rapid penetration rate of fluorescent lamp lighting fixtures is particularly high. Therefore, if an LED illuminating lamp that can be attached to a rapid-start type fluorescent lamp illuminating device can be realized, it is advantageous both in terms of diffusion and cost.
 しかし、ラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具に対応するLED照明灯は、一般にスイッチング制御方式の整流回路を持っているため、PSI電波障害の原因となる高周波ノイズが発生するという問題があった。また、ラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具の場合、蛍光灯が有する4つのAC入力ピンに印加される電圧は少しずつ異なるため、これまでのLED照明灯は、光量の安定性に欠き、チラツキ等の問題も生じていた。 However, an LED illuminating lamp corresponding to a rapid start type fluorescent lighting apparatus generally has a switching control type rectifier circuit, and thus has a problem that high-frequency noise causing PSI radio wave interference occurs. In addition, in the case of a rapid start type fluorescent lamp illuminating device, the voltage applied to the four AC input pins of the fluorescent lamp is slightly different, so that the conventional LED lighting lamps lack the stability of the light quantity and are flickering. Etc. also occurred.
 また、ダミー管により1本の蛍光灯のみを点灯させるようにした蛍光灯器具は、見た目が悪いだけでなく、いきなり半分の明るさになって暗くなりすぎるといった問題も生じる場合がある。さらに、ラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具にダミー管を取り付けた場合には、ダミー管でも通常の蛍光灯と同じ電力が消費されるので、実際には省エネルギーにはならない。 In addition, a fluorescent lamp apparatus in which only one fluorescent lamp is turned on by a dummy tube not only looks bad, but also suddenly becomes half bright and becomes too dark. Further, when a dummy tube is attached to a rapid start type fluorescent lamp illumination device, the dummy tube consumes the same power as a normal fluorescent lamp, and thus does not actually save energy.
 そこで、本発明は、スイッチング制御方式の整流回路を用いなくとも、特にラピッドスタート式の照明用器具に取り付け可能なLED照明灯、及びそのLED照明灯を有するLED照明装置を提供することを目的とする。また、本発明は、そのLED照明灯を用い、明るさを調整可能なLED照明システムを提供することを目的とする。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an LED illuminating lamp that can be attached to a rapid start type lighting fixture without using a switching control type rectifier circuit, and an LED illuminating apparatus having the LED illuminating lamp. To do. Another object of the present invention is to provide an LED illumination system that can adjust the brightness using the LED illumination lamp.

 本発明に係るLED照明灯の一実施形態における回路構成を図1に示す。このLED照明灯の一方の端部には、第1のAC入力ピン11及び第2のAC入力ピン12が設けられており、他方の端部には、第3のAC入力ピン13及び第4のAC入力ピン14が設けられている。LED照明灯を照明用器具に設置すると、これらのAC入力ピンからAC電圧が入力される。
<LED lighting>
FIG. 1 shows a circuit configuration in an embodiment of an LED illumination lamp according to the present invention. A first AC input pin 11 and a second AC input pin 12 are provided at one end of the LED illumination lamp, and a third AC input pin 13 and a fourth AC input pin 12 are provided at the other end. AC input pin 14 is provided. When LED lighting is installed in a lighting fixture, AC voltage is input from these AC input pins.
 第1のAC入力ピン11には、第1のブリッジ整流回路21における一方のAC端子が接続されている。第2のAC入力ピン12には、第2のブリッジ整流回路22における一方のAC端子が接続されている。第3のAC入力ピン13には、第3のブリッジ整流回路23における一方のAC端子が接続されている。第4のAC入力ピン14には、第4のブリッジ整流回路24における一方のAC端子が接続されている。そして、第1~第4のブリッジ整流回路21~24における他方のAC端子は、全て、コモンCOMを共通にして互いに接続されている。 One AC terminal in the first bridge rectifier circuit 21 is connected to the first AC input pin 11. One AC terminal of the second bridge rectifier circuit 22 is connected to the second AC input pin 12. One AC terminal of the third bridge rectifier circuit 23 is connected to the third AC input pin 13. One AC terminal of the fourth bridge rectifier circuit 24 is connected to the fourth AC input pin 14. The other AC terminals in the first to fourth bridge rectifier circuits 21 to 24 are all connected to each other with a common COM in common.
 このような回路を形成することで、第1のAC入力ピン11と第3のAC入力ピン13との間、第2のAC入力ピン12と第3のAC入力ピン13との間、第1のAC入力ピン11と第4のAC入力ピン14との間、第2のAC入力ピン12と第4のAC入力ピン14との間、のいずれにおいても、ブリッジ整流回路が2つ並列に接続されることになる。すなわち、LED照明灯に入力されるAC電圧が分けられ、並列に接続されたブリッジ整流回路に等しく印加されるので、各ブリッジ整流回路において所定のDC電圧を得ることができる。なお、本願出願人は、この回路をスーパーマトリックス回路と命名した。 By forming such a circuit, between the first AC input pin 11 and the third AC input pin 13, between the second AC input pin 12 and the third AC input pin 13, the first Two bridge rectifier circuits are connected in parallel between the AC input pin 11 and the fourth AC input pin 14 and between the second AC input pin 12 and the fourth AC input pin 14. Will be. That is, the AC voltage input to the LED lighting is divided and applied equally to the bridge rectifier circuits connected in parallel, so that a predetermined DC voltage can be obtained in each bridge rectifier circuit. The applicant of the present application named this circuit a super matrix circuit.
 第1のブリッジ整流回路21及び第2のブリッジ整流回路22のDC端子側には、LED発光素子30を有する第1のLED発光回路31が接続されている。また、第3のブリッジ整流回路23及び第4のブリッジ整流回路24のDC端子側には、LED発光素子30を有する第2のLED発光回路32が接続されている。これにより、第1のLED発光回路31が有するLED発光素子30は、第1のブリッジ整流回路21又は第2のブリッジ整流回路22のDC端子から出力されるDC電流により発光可能となり、第2のLED発光回路32が有するLED発光素子30は、第3のブリッジ整流回路23又は第4のブリッジ整流回路24のDC端子から出力されるDC電流により発光可能となる。すなわち、上記のようにスーパーマトリックス回路を採用していることから、第1のLED発光回路31が有するLED発光素子30と第2のLED発光回路32が有するLED発光素子30とは、それぞれ独立して発光可能となっている。 A first LED light emitting circuit 31 having an LED light emitting element 30 is connected to the DC terminal side of the first bridge rectifier circuit 21 and the second bridge rectifier circuit 22. A second LED light emitting circuit 32 having an LED light emitting element 30 is connected to the DC terminal side of the third bridge rectifier circuit 23 and the fourth bridge rectifier circuit 24. Accordingly, the LED light emitting element 30 included in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 can emit light by the DC current output from the DC terminal of the first bridge rectifier circuit 21 or the second bridge rectifier circuit 22, and the second The LED light emitting element 30 included in the LED light emitting circuit 32 can emit light by a DC current output from the DC terminal of the third bridge rectifier circuit 23 or the fourth bridge rectifier circuit 24. That is, since the super matrix circuit is employed as described above, the LED light emitting element 30 included in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 and the LED light emitting element 30 included in the second LED light emitting circuit 32 are independent of each other. Can emit light.
 第1のLED発光回路31及び第2のLED発光回路32は、それぞれ、1つのLED発光素子30からなってもよいが、通常は、直列及び/又は並列に接続された複数個のLED発光素子30を有している。1つのLED発光回路が有するLED発光素子30の個数は、要求される明るさ、電圧、ワット数などに応じて適宜設定すればよいが、20~300個が好ましく、40~200個がより好ましく、60~150個がさらに好ましい。 Each of the first LED light-emitting circuit 31 and the second LED light-emitting circuit 32 may include one LED light-emitting element 30, but usually a plurality of LED light-emitting elements connected in series and / or in parallel. 30. The number of the LED light emitting elements 30 included in one LED light emitting circuit may be appropriately set according to the required brightness, voltage, wattage, etc., but is preferably 20 to 300, more preferably 40 to 200. 60 to 150 are more preferable.
 第1のLED発光回路31及び第2のLED発光回路32が有するLED発光素子30は、赤色LED発光素子、橙色LED発光素子、黄色LED発光素子、緑色LED発光素子、青色LED発光素子、白色LED発光素子のいずれでも構わないが、照明用器具に取り付けて用いることを考慮すると、白色LED発光素子であることが好ましい。 The LED light emitting element 30 included in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 and the second LED light emitting circuit 32 includes a red LED light emitting element, an orange LED light emitting element, a yellow LED light emitting element, a green LED light emitting element, a blue LED light emitting element, and a white LED. Any of the light-emitting elements may be used, but considering that it is used by being attached to a lighting fixture, a white LED light-emitting element is preferable.
 以上のような回路構成において、第1のAC入力ピン11と第3のAC入力ピン13との間にAC電圧が印加された場合には、第1のブリッジ整流回路21と第3のブリッジ整流回路23が機能して、第1のLED発光回路31及び第2のLED発光回路32が有するLED発光素子30が発光する。第1のAC入力ピン11と第4のAC入力ピン14との間にAC電圧が印加された場合には、第1のブリッジ整流回路21と第4のブリッジ整流回路24が機能して、第1のLED発光回路31及び第2のLED発光回路32が有するLED発光素子30が発光する。第2のAC入力ピン12と第3のAC入力ピン13との間にAC電圧が印加された場合には、第2のブリッジ整流回路22と第3のブリッジ整流回路23が機能して、第1のLED発光回路31及び第2のLED発光回路32が有するLED発光素子30が発光する。第2のAC入力ピン12と第4のAC入力ピン14との間にAC電圧が印加された場合には、第2のブリッジ整流回路22と第4のブリッジ整流回路24が機能して、第1のLED発光回路31及び第2のLED発光回路32が有するLED発光素子30が発光する。 In the circuit configuration as described above, when an AC voltage is applied between the first AC input pin 11 and the third AC input pin 13, the first bridge rectifier circuit 21 and the third bridge rectifier. The circuit 23 functions, and the LED light emitting elements 30 included in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 and the second LED light emitting circuit 32 emit light. When an AC voltage is applied between the first AC input pin 11 and the fourth AC input pin 14, the first bridge rectifier circuit 21 and the fourth bridge rectifier circuit 24 function, The LED light emitting elements 30 included in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 and the second LED light emitting circuit 32 emit light. When an AC voltage is applied between the second AC input pin 12 and the third AC input pin 13, the second bridge rectifier circuit 22 and the third bridge rectifier circuit 23 function, The LED light emitting elements 30 included in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 and the second LED light emitting circuit 32 emit light. When an AC voltage is applied between the second AC input pin 12 and the fourth AC input pin 14, the second bridge rectifier circuit 22 and the fourth bridge rectifier circuit 24 function, The LED light emitting elements 30 included in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 and the second LED light emitting circuit 32 emit light.
 すなわち、上記のようなスーパーマトリックス回路でLED照明灯を構成することで、第1のAC入力ピン11と第3のAC入力ピン13との間、第2のAC入力ピン12と第3のAC入力ピン13との間、第1のAC入力ピン11と第4のAC入力ピン14との間、第2のAC入力ピン12と第4のAC入力ピン14との間、のいずれにAC電圧が印加されても、最終的に第1のLED発光回路31及び第2のLED発光回路32が有するLED発光素子30が発光可能となる。 That is, by configuring the LED illumination lamp with the super matrix circuit as described above, the second AC input pin 12 and the third AC input pin 13 are connected between the first AC input pin 11 and the third AC input pin 13. AC voltage between the input pin 13, between the first AC input pin 11 and the fourth AC input pin 14, and between the second AC input pin 12 and the fourth AC input pin 14. Even if is applied, the LED light emitting element 30 included in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 and the second LED light emitting circuit 32 can finally emit light.
 ただし、ブリッジ整流回路のDC端子から出力されるDC電流は、周期的な波形を持った脈流となっているので、上記の構成のみでは、直接LED発光回路に入力するとLED発光素子30が発する光の強さに揺らぎが生じ、チラツキの原因になる場合がある。 However, since the DC current output from the DC terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit is a pulsating flow having a periodic waveform, the LED light emitting element 30 emits when input directly to the LED light emitting circuit with only the above configuration. The light intensity may fluctuate and cause flickering.
 そこで、本発明に係るLED照明灯は、第1のブリッジ整流回路21及び第2のブリッジ整流回路22のDC端子から出力されたDC電流を平滑化する第1の平滑回路41と、第3のブリッジ整流回路23及び第4のブリッジ整流回路24のDC端子から出力されたDC電流を平滑化する第2の平滑回路42とを有することが好ましい。これらの平滑回路を導入することで、チラツキを防止することができる。平滑回路は、コンデンサやチョークコイルなどの性質を利用することによって、脈流の波形をより平坦に近づける働きを持つ回路である。 Therefore, the LED illuminating lamp according to the present invention includes a first smoothing circuit 41 that smoothes the DC current output from the DC terminals of the first bridge rectifier circuit 21 and the second bridge rectifier circuit 22, and a third It is preferable to have a second smoothing circuit 42 that smoothes the DC current output from the DC terminals of the bridge rectifier circuit 23 and the fourth bridge rectifier circuit 24. By introducing these smoothing circuits, flicker can be prevented. The smoothing circuit is a circuit having a function of making the waveform of a pulsating flow closer to flat by utilizing properties such as a capacitor and a choke coil.
 さらに、本発明に係るLED照明灯は、第1のLED発光回路31に流れるDC電流を一定にする第1の定電流回路51と、第2のLED発光回路32に流れるDC電流を一定にする第2の定電流回路52とを有することが好ましい。定電流回路を構成するための素子としては、定電流ダイオード、三端子レギュレータ、トランジスタなどが挙げられるが、三端子レギュレータを用いることが好ましい。図2には、第1の定電流回路51として、三端子レギュレータ55に抵抗Rdを接続した回路を形成した例を示している。この定電流回路では、抵抗Rdの抵抗値を適切に調整することで、ほぼ一定の電流を得ることができる。 Further, in the LED lighting according to the present invention, the first constant current circuit 51 that makes the DC current flowing through the first LED light emitting circuit 31 constant and the DC current that flows through the second LED light emitting circuit 32 are made constant. A second constant current circuit 52 is preferably included. Examples of the element for constituting the constant current circuit include a constant current diode, a three-terminal regulator, and a transistor, but it is preferable to use a three-terminal regulator. FIG. 2 shows an example in which a circuit in which a resistor Rd is connected to a three-terminal regulator 55 is formed as the first constant current circuit 51. In this constant current circuit, a substantially constant current can be obtained by appropriately adjusting the resistance value of the resistor Rd.
 一方、スイッチをオフにして電圧の印加が止まっても、第1のLED発光回路31及び第2のLED発光回路32に残留している電圧により、LED発光素子30は消灯せず、しばらく発光したままの状態となる。 On the other hand, even if the application of voltage is stopped by turning off the switch, the LED light emitting element 30 does not turn off and emits light for a while due to the voltage remaining in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 and the second LED light emitting circuit 32. It will remain as it is.
 そこで、本発明に係るLED照明灯は、スイッチをオフにした時に、第1のLED発光回路31に残留している電圧を除去する第1の残留電圧除去回路61と、第2のLED発光回路32に残留している電圧を除去する第2の残留電圧除去回路62とを有することが好ましい。残留電圧除去回路としては、例えば、LED発光回路に並列に抵抗を接続した回路を形成することができる。図2には、第1の残留電圧除去回路61として、抵抗Rcを接続した回路を形成した例を示している。このとき、抵抗Rcの抵抗値をRとし、その抵抗に並列に接続されている第1のLED発光回路31の抵抗値をRとしたとき、下記式(1):
  R×R/(R+R)>R  (1)
を満たせば、0.1sec以内に残留電圧は除去される。
Therefore, the LED illumination lamp according to the present invention includes a first residual voltage removing circuit 61 that removes a voltage remaining in the first LED light emitting circuit 31 and a second LED light emitting circuit when the switch is turned off. It is preferable to have a second residual voltage removing circuit 62 that removes the voltage remaining at 32. As the residual voltage removing circuit, for example, a circuit in which a resistor is connected in parallel to the LED light emitting circuit can be formed. FIG. 2 shows an example in which a circuit connected to a resistor Rc is formed as the first residual voltage removing circuit 61. At this time, when the resistance value of the resistor Rc and R 1, the resistance of the first LED light emission circuit 31 connected in parallel to the resistor and the R 0, the following equation (1):
R 0 × R 1 / (R 0 + R 1 )> R 0 (1)
If this is satisfied, the residual voltage is removed within 0.1 sec.
 本発明に係るLED照明灯は、蛍光灯照明用器具などの照明用器具に着脱可能な形状をなしている。すなわち、LED照明灯は、これまで用いられている蛍光灯と同一又は実質的に同一の外観形状を有しており、これまで用いられている蛍光灯の代わりに蛍光灯照明用器具に取り付けられる。蛍光灯の形状としては、一般に、直管形、環形、コンパクト形、電球形などが知られており、LED照明灯もこれらの形状とすることができる。ただし、前述のように、LED照明灯は、4つのAC入力ピンを持っていることから、通常は、直管形の蛍光灯と同一又は実質的に同一の外観形状を有している。なお、水銀灯などの電球形の照明用器具に着脱可能な形状を有するLED照明灯の場合には、4つのAC入力ピンではなく、2つのAC入力ピンでLED照明灯を点灯させることになる。この場合には、第1又は第2のAC入力ピンの1つと、第3又は第4のAC入力ピンの1つを組み合わせて用いることになり、他方のAC入力ピンは接続されない状態となる。 The LED illuminating lamp according to the present invention has a shape that can be attached to and detached from a lighting fixture such as a fluorescent lighting fixture. That is, the LED illumination lamp has the same or substantially the same external shape as the fluorescent lamp used so far, and is attached to the fluorescent lamp illumination fixture instead of the fluorescent lamp used so far. . As the shape of the fluorescent lamp, generally, a straight tube shape, a ring shape, a compact shape, a light bulb shape, and the like are known, and the LED illumination lamp can also have these shapes. However, as described above, since the LED illumination lamp has four AC input pins, it usually has the same or substantially the same external shape as a straight tube fluorescent lamp. In the case of an LED illuminating lamp having a shape that can be attached to and detached from a light bulb-shaped lighting fixture such as a mercury lamp, the LED illuminating lamp is turned on with two AC input pins instead of four AC input pins. In this case, one of the first or second AC input pins and one of the third or fourth AC input pins are used in combination, and the other AC input pin is not connected.
 本発明に係る直管形LED照明灯の一実施形態における構成部材を図4及び図5に示す。この直管形LED照明灯は、半円筒状に形成されたベース1と半円筒状に形成されたカバー3とが、互いに開口部が向かい合うように結合され、その両端部が、2つのAC入力ピンが設置されたキャップ4及び5により覆われることで、直管形の蛍光灯と同一又は実質的に同一の外観形状をなしている。 FIG.4 and FIG.5 shows the structural member in one Embodiment of the straight tube | pipe type LED lighting lamp which concerns on this invention. In this straight tube type LED illumination lamp, a base 1 formed in a semi-cylindrical shape and a cover 3 formed in a semi-cylindrical shape are coupled so that the openings face each other. By covering with the caps 4 and 5 on which the pins are installed, it has the same or substantially the same external shape as the straight tube fluorescent lamp.
 ベース1には、その開口部を覆うようにプレートが設置され、そのプレートのカバー3側にLED発光素子が配置される。ベース1とプレートは、着脱可能でもよく、接着されていてもよい。例えば、図4に示す直管形LED照明灯においては、ベース1には、その開口部を覆うようにLED発光素子付きプレート2が設置され、LED発光素子30が、LED発光素子付きプレート2のカバー3側の表面に配置される。一方、図5に示す直管形LED照明灯においては、ベース1とその開口部を覆うプレート2aとが一体になっており、LED発光素子30を有するLED発光素子基板2bが、プレート2aのカバー3側の表面に設置される。 The base 1 is provided with a plate so as to cover the opening, and the LED light emitting element is disposed on the cover 3 side of the plate. The base 1 and the plate may be detachable or bonded. For example, in the straight tube LED lighting shown in FIG. 4, the base 1 is provided with a plate 2 with an LED light emitting element so as to cover the opening, and the LED light emitting element 30 is formed of the plate 2 with an LED light emitting element. It is arranged on the surface on the cover 3 side. On the other hand, in the straight tube type LED lighting shown in FIG. 5, the base 1 and the plate 2a covering the opening are integrated, and the LED light emitting element substrate 2b having the LED light emitting element 30 is covered with the plate 2a. Installed on the 3rd surface.
 ベース1は、放熱性を高めるために、通常はアルミニウムなどで形成される。さらに、ベース1の内部表面には、LED発光素子30から発生する熱を逃がすための放熱フィン(不図示)が設けられていることが好ましい。放熱フィンにより、LED発光素子30から発生する熱を効率的に放出して、過熱によるLED照明灯の損傷を防ぐことができる。LED発光素子付きプレート2やプレート2aも、放熱性を高めるために、通常はアルミニウムなどで形成される。 The base 1 is usually formed of aluminum or the like in order to improve heat dissipation. Furthermore, it is preferable that heat radiation fins (not shown) for releasing heat generated from the LED light emitting elements 30 are provided on the inner surface of the base 1. The heat radiating fins can efficiently release the heat generated from the LED light emitting element 30 to prevent the LED lighting lamp from being damaged due to overheating. The plate 2 with LED light emitting element and the plate 2a are also usually made of aluminum or the like in order to improve heat dissipation.
 カバー3は、LED発光素子30からの光を透過する性質を有していればよく、ガラスでも構わないが、通常はシリコン樹脂、アクリル樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂などの光透過性を有する樹脂で形成される。さらに、カバー3の内部表面は、フロスト加工(曇りガラス状にする加工)されていることが好ましい。LED発光素子30からの光は指向性が強いが、カバー3の内部表面がフロスト加工されていることで、LED発光素子30からの光が乱反射し、全体として、蛍光灯に似た光を放つようになる。 The cover 3 may be made of glass as long as it has a property of transmitting the light from the LED light emitting element 30 and is usually made of a resin having a light transmission property such as a silicon resin, an acrylic resin, or a polycarbonate resin. The Furthermore, it is preferable that the inner surface of the cover 3 is frosted (processed to form a frosted glass). Although the light from the LED light emitting element 30 is highly directional, the light from the LED light emitting element 30 is diffusely reflected by the frosted inner surface of the cover 3 and emits light similar to a fluorescent lamp as a whole. It becomes like this.
 このような構成の直管形LED照明灯において、一方のキャップに設置された2つのAC入力ピンが第1及び第2のAC入力ピンとなり、他方のキャップに設置された2つのAC入力ピンが第3及び第4のAC入力ピンとなるように前述した回路を形成する。そして、第1及び第2のLED発光回路(不図示)を、プレートのカバー3側に形成することで、LED発光素子30がプレートのカバー3側に向くように配置する。ブリッジ回路、平滑回路、定電流回路、残留電圧除去回路などの回路は、プレートのベース1側に形成してもよく、別の基板上に形成した上で、ベース1とプレートで形成する空間に配置してもよい。 In the straight tube type LED illuminating lamp having such a configuration, two AC input pins installed in one cap become first and second AC input pins, and two AC input pins installed in the other cap have two AC input pins installed. The circuit described above is formed to be the third and fourth AC input pins. And the 1st and 2nd LED light emission circuit (not shown) is formed in the cover 3 side of a plate, and it arrange | positions so that the LED light emitting element 30 may face the cover 3 side of a plate. Circuits such as a bridge circuit, a smoothing circuit, a constant current circuit, and a residual voltage removal circuit may be formed on the base 1 side of the plate, or formed on a separate substrate and then formed in a space formed by the base 1 and the plate. You may arrange.
 <LED照明装置>
 本発明に係るLED照明灯は、それを着脱可能な照明用器具に取り付けることで、LED照明装置となる。なお、LED照明灯は、既に設置されている蛍光灯照明用器具に、蛍光灯の代わりに取り付けられることが想定されるが、もちろん、LED照明灯専用の照明用器具にも取り付けることができる。
<LED lighting device>
The LED illumination lamp according to the present invention is an LED illumination device by attaching it to a detachable illumination fixture. In addition, although it is assumed that an LED illumination lamp is attached to the already installed fluorescent lamp illumination fixture instead of the fluorescent lamp, it can of course be attached to an illumination fixture dedicated to the LED illumination lamp.
 蛍光灯照明用器具の点灯方式としては、グロースタータ式、ラピッドスタート式、インバータ式などが知られているが、本発明に係るLED照明灯は、いずれの方式の蛍光灯照明用器具にも取り付けることができる。一般に、LED照明灯をラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具に取り付けるにあたっては工事が必要であるが、本発明に係るLED照明灯は、これまでのラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具にも、何らの工事もせずに取り付けることが可能である。 Glowing starter type, rapid start type, inverter type, etc. are known as lighting methods for fluorescent lamp lighting fixtures. The LED lighting lamp according to the present invention is attached to any type of fluorescent lighting fixtures. be able to. In general, work is required to attach the LED lighting lamp to the rapid start type fluorescent lamp lighting fixture, but the LED lighting lamp according to the present invention is also applicable to the rapid start type fluorescent lighting fixture so far. It can be installed without any work.
 <LED照明システム>
 本発明に係るLED照明システムは、上記の照明灯と、上記の照明用器具と、明るさを調整する調光器とを有する。このような構成であれば、LED照明灯にスイッチング制御方式の整流回路を用いなくとも、特にラピッドスタート式の蛍光灯照明用器具に取り付け可能となるだけでなく、調光器によりLED照明灯の明るさを調整することができる。例えば、昼間のように照明による明るさをあまり必要としないときには調光器により簡便にLED照明灯の明るさを抑えることができ、その分電力消費量が少なくなるので省エネルギーになる。
<LED lighting system>
The LED illumination system according to the present invention includes the above-described illumination lamp, the above-described illumination fixture, and a dimmer that adjusts brightness. With such a configuration, it is possible not only to use a switching control type rectifier circuit for the LED lighting, but in particular, it can be attached to a rapid-start type fluorescent lighting device. The brightness can be adjusted. For example, the brightness of the LED lighting can be easily suppressed by the dimmer when the brightness by illumination is not so necessary as in the daytime, and the power consumption is reduced correspondingly, thereby saving energy.
 本発明に係るLED照明システムでは、上記のLED照明灯の明るさを調整する調光器を用いる。上記のLED照明灯は、スーパーマトリックス回路を採用しているため、入力電圧の変化に対して連続的に明るさが変化する。すなわち、本発明に係るLED照明システムは、例えば、スライダックで電圧を調整するようなインプットフリーON方式の調光器を用いることで、簡便に調光することができる。 In the LED lighting system according to the present invention, a dimmer that adjusts the brightness of the LED lighting is used. Since the above LED illumination lamp employs a super matrix circuit, the brightness changes continuously in response to a change in input voltage. That is, the LED illumination system according to the present invention can easily perform dimming by using, for example, an input-free ON-type dimmer that adjusts the voltage with a slider.
 ここで、一般には、インプットフリーON方式の調光器ではなく、トライアックという電子素子を用いた位相制御方式の調光器が広く用いられている。そこで、位相制御方式の調光器を用いることができれば、既設設備を有効に活用できる点でメリットが大きい。ただし、位相制御方式の調光器をそのまま用いると、LED照明灯に断続的なチラツキが見られる。 Here, in general, a phase control type dimmer using an electronic element called triac is widely used instead of an input free ON type dimmer. Therefore, if a phase control type dimmer can be used, there is a great merit in that existing facilities can be used effectively. However, if the phase control type dimmer is used as it is, intermittent flickering is observed in the LED lighting.
 この違いを、図6を用いて説明する。インプットフリーON方式の調光器により制御された電圧波形101は、AC電圧波形100が正弦波の形状を維持したまま振幅が小さくなった波形になっている(図6(a))。それに対し、位相制御方式の調光器により制御された電圧波形102は、AC電圧波形100の一部がOFFになった歪みのある波形になっている(図6(b))。上記のチラツキは、位相制御方式の調光器から出力された歪みのある電圧波形が原因である。 This difference will be described with reference to FIG. The voltage waveform 101 controlled by the input free ON type dimmer is a waveform in which the amplitude is reduced while the AC voltage waveform 100 maintains a sine wave shape (FIG. 6A). On the other hand, the voltage waveform 102 controlled by the phase control type dimmer is a distorted waveform in which a part of the AC voltage waveform 100 is turned off (FIG. 6B). The flicker is caused by a distorted voltage waveform output from a phase control type dimmer.
 そこで、位相制御方式の調光器を用いる場合、調光器とLED照明灯との間に制御用変圧器を配置することが好ましい。こうすることで、位相制御方式の調光器から出力された歪みのある電圧波形が補正され、LED照明灯の断続的なチラツキを防止することができる。 Therefore, when a phase control type dimmer is used, it is preferable to arrange a control transformer between the dimmer and the LED illumination lamp. By doing so, the distorted voltage waveform output from the phase control type dimmer can be corrected, and intermittent flickering of the LED lighting can be prevented.
 また、調光器として壁面埋込型調光スイッチを用いることができる。この場合、この壁面埋込型調光スイッチに接続されている全てのLED照明灯の明るさを同時に調整することができる。 Also, a wall-embedded dimmer switch can be used as the dimmer. In this case, the brightness of all the LED lighting lamps connected to the wall surface embedded type dimming switch can be adjusted simultaneously.
 図7は、壁面埋込型調光スイッチの一実施形態の外観を示している。図7(a)はスライド型であり、図7(b)はロータリー型である。これらの調光器では、電源スイッチ75により主電源のON/OFFを切り替え、スライド型調光つまみ71又はロータリー型調光つまみ72により出力電圧を調整することができる。調光つまみは、連続的に出力電圧を調整できるタイプでもよく、2~6段階程度に断続的に出力電圧を調整できるタイプでもよい。なお、図7に示した壁面埋込型調光スイッチは、電源スイッチと調光つまみが別々に設けられているが、調整つまみが電源スイッチの機能を有する兼用タイプでもよい。また、リモコンタイプの壁面埋込型調光スイッチでもよい。 FIG. 7 shows the appearance of an embodiment of a wall surface embedded dimmer switch. FIG. 7A is a slide type, and FIG. 7B is a rotary type. In these dimmers, the main power supply can be switched on / off by the power switch 75, and the output voltage can be adjusted by the slide type dimming knob 71 or the rotary type dimming knob 72. The dimming knob may be a type that can continuously adjust the output voltage, or a type that can intermittently adjust the output voltage in about 2 to 6 steps. Note that the wall surface embedded dimmer switch shown in FIG. 7 is provided with the power switch and the dimmer knob separately, but the adjustment knob may be a dual-purpose type having the function of the power switch. Further, a remote control type wall surface embedded dimmer switch may be used.
 さらに、上記のLED照明灯が調光器を内蔵していてもよい。LED照明灯が調光器を内蔵していると、複数のLED照明灯が設置されている場合でも独立してLED照明灯の明るさを調整できるので、部屋全体を一定の明るさに調整することが可能となる。調光器からの出力電圧は、LED照明灯に調整つまみを設けて調整できるようにしてもよく、リモコンで調整できるようにしてもよく、後述するように照度センサーで測定された照度に応じて自動で調整できるようにしてもよい。 Furthermore, the above LED lighting lamp may incorporate a dimmer. If the LED illumination lamp has a built-in dimmer, the brightness of the LED illumination lamp can be adjusted independently even when multiple LED illumination lights are installed, so the entire room is adjusted to a constant brightness. It becomes possible. The output voltage from the dimmer may be adjusted by providing an adjustment knob on the LED illumination light, or may be adjusted by a remote control, and depends on the illuminance measured by the illuminance sensor as described later. You may enable it to adjust automatically.
 LED照明灯が調光器を内蔵している場合、壁面埋込型調光スイッチを用いなくても調光可能であるが、両者を併用することもできる。併用した場合、壁面埋込型調光スイッチにより全体的な明るさを調整することができ、LED照明灯に内蔵されている調光器により局所的な明るさを調整することができる。 When the LED lighting has a built-in dimmer, dimming is possible without using a wall-mounted dimming switch, but both can be used together. When used together, the overall brightness can be adjusted by the wall surface embedded dimming switch, and the local brightness can be adjusted by the dimmer built in the LED lighting.
 さらに、LED照明灯が照度センサーを具備し、その照度センサーで測定された照度に応じて調光器からの出力電圧を調整し、LED照明灯の明るさを調整することもできる。この場合、部屋全体をより一定の明るさに調整することが可能となる。 Furthermore, the LED illumination lamp includes an illuminance sensor, and the brightness of the LED illumination lamp can be adjusted by adjusting the output voltage from the dimmer according to the illuminance measured by the illuminance sensor. In this case, the entire room can be adjusted to a more constant brightness.
