Description

本発明は、複数のLED素子が実装された回路基板を備えるLED照明装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an LED lighting device including a circuit board on which a plurality of LED elements are mounted.

従来、光源に高輝度のLED(light emitting diode;発光ダイオード)素子を用いたLED照明装置が知られている。LED照明装置は、光源に白熱灯や蛍光灯などを用いた照明装置と比較して、低消費電力かつ長寿命であり、さらにランプ交換等のメンテナンスが不要で使い勝手がよいといった利点を有している。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an LED lighting device using a high-luminance LED (light emitting diode) element as a light source is known. LED lighting devices have the advantages of low power consumption and long life compared to lighting devices that use incandescent lamps or fluorescent lamps as light sources, and that they do not require maintenance such as lamp replacement and are easy to use. Yes.

LED照明装置の光源として使用するLED素子は、単体では照射範囲が狭いため、通常、複数個を回路基板に実装してモジュール化した状態で使用している。したがって、LED照明装置の配光特性は、実装される複数のLED素子のレイアウトによって定まることになる。換言すると、LED照明装置は、複数のLED素子のレイアウトを最適化することで、目的に応じた自由な配光特性が得られるといった利点も有している。   Since the LED element used as the light source of the LED lighting device has a narrow irradiation range, a plurality of LED elements are usually mounted on a circuit board and used in a modularized state. Therefore, the light distribution characteristic of the LED lighting device is determined by the layout of the plurality of LED elements to be mounted. In other words, the LED lighting device has an advantage that a free light distribution characteristic according to the purpose can be obtained by optimizing the layout of the plurality of LED elements.

また、近年では、MID(Molded Interconnect Devices)と呼ばれる立体回路成形品の製造技術が確立され、立体的な回路基板を比較的容易に作製できるようになってきている。そして、このような技術を用いてLED照明装置の回路基板を凸型の立体形状に形成し、その凸面(外周面)に複数のLED素子を実装することで、広範囲の配光を可能にする試みもなされている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。   In recent years, a manufacturing technique of a three-dimensional circuit molded product called MID (Molded Interconnect Devices) has been established, and a three-dimensional circuit board can be manufactured relatively easily. And by using such a technique, the circuit board of the LED lighting device is formed in a convex three-dimensional shape, and a plurality of LED elements are mounted on the convex surface (outer peripheral surface), thereby enabling a wide range of light distribution. Attempts have also been made (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開平11−163412号公報(〜、図11)Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-163212 (˜, FIG. 11)

ところで、この種のLED照明装置においては、光源として用いるLED素子の発熱によって温度が過度に上昇すると、LED素子の発光効率や輝度の低下を招き、また、LED素子の寿命低下を招く要因となることが指摘されている。このため、LED照明装置では、LED素子の発熱による温度上昇を効果的に防止できるようにすることが重要な課題とされており、例えば特許文献1に記載されているLED照明装置では、LED素子の発熱により凸型の回路基板に沿った上昇気流を発生させ、凸型回路基板の下方から温度の低い空気を流れ込ませることで、LED素子の熱を放熱する構造としている。   By the way, in this kind of LED lighting device, if the temperature rises excessively due to the heat generated by the LED element used as the light source, the light emission efficiency and luminance of the LED element are reduced, and the life of the LED element is reduced. It has been pointed out. For this reason, in the LED lighting device, it is an important issue to be able to effectively prevent a temperature rise due to heat generation of the LED element. For example, in the LED lighting device described in Patent Document 1, the LED element Ascending airflow is generated along the convex circuit board by the heat generation, and air having a low temperature is caused to flow from below the convex circuit board, thereby radiating the heat of the LED element.

しかしながら、このような放熱構造では、凸型回路基板の上側ほど放熱効率が低下することになり、凸型回路基板の凸面に実装された複数のLED素子間でその実装位置に応じた素子特性のばらつきを生じさせてしまう場合があり、均一な照明が得られなくなるといった問題があった。   However, in such a heat dissipation structure, the heat dissipation efficiency decreases toward the upper side of the convex circuit board, and the element characteristics according to the mounting position between the plurality of LED elements mounted on the convex surface of the convex circuit board. There is a problem that variation may occur, and uniform illumination cannot be obtained.

本発明は、以上のような従来の実情に鑑みて創案されたものであって、凸型形状の回路基板を用いて広範囲の配光を実現しながら、実装される各LED素子の発熱を均一に放熱して素子特性のばらつきを抑え、均一な照明を得られるようにしたLED照明装置を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention was devised in view of the conventional situation as described above, and uses a convex circuit board to achieve a wide range of light distribution while uniformly generating heat from each mounted LED element. An object of the present invention is to provide an LED lighting device that can dissipate heat to suppress variation in element characteristics and obtain uniform illumination.

本発明のLED照明装置は、凸型形状に立体成形されて回路パターンが形成された凸型回路基板と、凸型回路基板の凸面に実装された複数のLED素子と、凸型回路基板の内部に設けられた放熱手段とを備えた構成とし、放熱手段を、凸型回路基板の凸面に近接する部分の形状が凸面に倣う形状とすることで、前記課題を解決する。このLED照明装置では、複数のLED素子が実装される凸型回路基板の凸面のほぼ全周に亘って凸型回路基板内部の放熱手段までの距離が略一定とされるので、この凸型回路基板の凸面に実装される複数のLED素子の発熱は、放熱手段によって均一に放熱されることになる。   The LED lighting device according to the present invention includes a convex circuit board that is three-dimensionally formed into a convex shape to form a circuit pattern, a plurality of LED elements mounted on a convex surface of the convex circuit board, and an interior of the convex circuit board. The heat dissipating means is provided, and the heat dissipating means has a shape in which the shape of the portion adjacent to the convex surface of the convex circuit board follows the convex surface. In this LED lighting device, the distance to the heat radiation means inside the convex circuit board is substantially constant over substantially the entire circumference of the convex surface of the convex circuit board on which a plurality of LED elements are mounted. The heat generated by the plurality of LED elements mounted on the convex surface of the substrate is uniformly dissipated by the heat dissipating means.

本発明のLED照明装置によれば、凸型回路基板の凸面に実装される複数のLED素子の発熱が放熱手段によって均一に放熱されるので、各LED素子間における素子特性のばらつきを抑え、均一な照明を得ることができる。   According to the LED lighting device of the present invention, the heat generated by the plurality of LED elements mounted on the convex surface of the convex circuit board is uniformly dissipated by the heat dissipating means, so that variation in element characteristics among the LED elements is suppressed and uniform. Can be obtained.

以下、本発明の具体的な実施形態について、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

図1は、本発明を適用したLED照明装置の外観を示す斜視図である。この図1に示すLED照明装置は、スタンド型の照明装置に本発明を適用した例であり、照明用の光を発光する発光部1を基台2で支持する構造となっている。また、このLED照明装置では、必要に応じて、ガラスなどの光透過性を有する材料で成形されたカバー3が、基台2上の発光部1を覆うように、基台2に取り付けられる。   FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of an LED lighting device to which the present invention is applied. The LED illumination device shown in FIG. 1 is an example in which the present invention is applied to a stand-type illumination device, and has a structure in which a light emitting unit 1 that emits illumination light is supported by a base 2. Moreover, in this LED lighting device, a cover 3 formed of a light-transmitting material such as glass is attached to the base 2 so as to cover the light emitting unit 1 on the base 2 as necessary.

発光部1は、凸型回路基板11の凸面(外周面)11aに複数のLED素子12が実装されてなるものである。凸型回路基板11はMID(立体回路成形品)の基板であり、基板材料が凸型形状に立体成形され、回路パターンが形成されたものである。ここで、凸型回路基板11の基板材料としては、熱抵抗が低く放熱性の高い無機材料、例えばAlやAlN、Siなどのセラミック材料が好適である。凸型回路基板11は、これらの基板材料が、プレス成形やCIM(Ceramics Injection Molding;セラミックス射出成形)、鋳込み成形などの既知の成形法によって凸型形状に成形され、その成形品に回路パターンが形成されることで作製される。なお、凸型形状の成形品に回路パターンを形成する手法としては、例えば、特許第3153682号公報にて開示される手法が有効に適用できる。 The light emitting unit 1 is formed by mounting a plurality of LED elements 12 on a convex surface (outer peripheral surface) 11 a of a convex circuit board 11. The convex circuit board 11 is a MID (three-dimensional circuit molded product) board, in which a substrate material is three-dimensionally molded into a convex shape to form a circuit pattern. Here, as a substrate material of the convex circuit board 11, an inorganic material having a low thermal resistance and a high heat dissipation property, for example, a ceramic material such as Al 2 O 3 , AlN, or Si 3 N 4 is suitable. In the convex circuit board 11, these substrate materials are formed into a convex shape by a known molding method such as press molding, CIM (Ceramics Injection Molding), or casting, and a circuit pattern is formed on the molded product. It is produced by being formed. As a method for forming a circuit pattern on a convex shaped product, for example, the method disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 3153682 can be effectively applied.

本発明を適用したLED照明装置では、以上のような凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに複数のLED素子12を実装して、図1に示すような発光部1とすることで、全周囲に亘る広い範囲への配光を可能としている。また、このLED照明装置では、発光部1の複数のLED素子12の点灯/消灯を個別に、或いは実装位置に応じてグループ分けしたグループごとに切り替え可能にし、点灯させるLED素子12を選択的に切り替えるようにすれば、配光を任意に変更することができ、自由な配光を得ることができる。   In the LED lighting device to which the present invention is applied, a plurality of LED elements 12 are mounted on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 as described above to form the light emitting unit 1 as shown in FIG. Light distribution over a wide range is possible. Further, in this LED lighting device, the plurality of LED elements 12 of the light emitting unit 1 can be switched on / off individually or grouped according to the mounting position, and the LED elements 12 to be lit are selectively selected. If switching is performed, the light distribution can be arbitrarily changed, and a free light distribution can be obtained.

LED照明装置は、LED素子12の発熱による温度上昇に起因してLED素子12に発光効率や輝度の低下、寿命低下などの問題を生じさせないようにするために、LED素子12の発熱を効率よく放熱するための放熱機構を設けることが望まれる。そこで、本発明を適用したLED照明装置では、凸型形状に立体成形された凸型回路基板11の内部に放熱手段を設けるようにしており、特に、この凸型回路基板11の内部に設ける放熱手段を、その凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに近接する部分の形状が凸面11aに倣う形状となるようにすることで、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに実装された複数のLED素子12の発熱を均一に放熱できるようにしている。以下、本発明を適用したLED照明装置における発光部1の例として、凸型回路基板11の内部に放熱手段を設けた2つの具体例(実施例1,2)を例示して説明する。   The LED illumination device efficiently generates heat from the LED element 12 in order to prevent the LED element 12 from causing problems such as a decrease in light emission efficiency, luminance, and life due to a temperature increase due to heat generation of the LED element 12. It is desirable to provide a heat dissipation mechanism for radiating heat. Therefore, in the LED lighting device to which the present invention is applied, heat radiating means is provided inside the convex circuit board 11 that is three-dimensionally formed into a convex shape, and in particular, heat dissipation provided inside the convex circuit board 11. The means of the plurality of LED elements 12 mounted on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 is configured such that the shape of the portion adjacent to the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 is a shape that follows the convex surface 11a. Heat generation can be dissipated uniformly. Hereinafter, two specific examples (Examples 1 and 2) in which a heat dissipation unit is provided inside the convex circuit board 11 will be described as examples of the light emitting unit 1 in the LED lighting device to which the present invention is applied.

[実施例1]
実施例1は、金属材料が凸型のブロック状に成形された金属ブロックを凸型回路基板11の内部に埋設して放熱手段とした例である。
[Example 1]
Example 1 is an example in which a metal block in which a metal material is formed in a convex block shape is embedded in the convex circuit board 11 to serve as heat dissipation means.

図2は、本実施例における発光部1の縦断面図である。本実施例では、図2に示すように、凸型回路基板11が半球体の内部を凸面(外周面)11aに沿うようにくり抜いたカップ型の凸型形状に成形され、この凸型回路基板11の内部に、例えばCuやAlなどの金属材料が凸型に成形されてなる金属ブロック21が埋め込まれている。凸型回路基板11の内部に埋設された金属ブロック21は、その外周面、すなわち凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに近接する面が、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに倣う形状とされ、複数のLED素子12が実装される凸型回路基板11の凸面11aと、放熱手段としての金属ブロック21外周面との間の距離L1が、凸面11aのほぼ全周に亘って略一定とされている。したがって、本実施例の発光部1では、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに実装された複数のLED素子12の発熱が、金属ブロック21によって均一に放熱されることになり、実装位置に応じた放熱効率の差に起因する複数のLED素子12間における素子特性のばらつきを有効に抑え、均一な照明を得ることが可能となる。   FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the light emitting unit 1 in the present embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the convex circuit board 11 is formed into a cup-shaped convex shape by hollowing out the inside of the hemisphere along the convex surface (outer peripheral surface) 11a. 11 is embedded with a metal block 21 made of a metal material such as Cu or Al formed into a convex shape. The metal block 21 embedded in the convex circuit board 11 has an outer peripheral surface, that is, a surface close to the convex surface 11 a of the convex circuit board 11, which is shaped to follow the convex surface 11 a of the convex circuit board 11. The distance L1 between the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 on which the LED element 12 is mounted and the outer peripheral surface of the metal block 21 as the heat radiating means is substantially constant over the entire circumference of the convex surface 11a. . Therefore, in the light emitting unit 1 of the present embodiment, the heat generated by the plurality of LED elements 12 mounted on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 is uniformly dissipated by the metal block 21, and according to the mounting position. It is possible to effectively suppress variations in element characteristics among the plurality of LED elements 12 due to the difference in heat dissipation efficiency and obtain uniform illumination.

ここで、本実施例における発光部1の作製工程の一例について、簡単に説明する。   Here, an example of a manufacturing process of the light emitting unit 1 in this embodiment will be briefly described.

まず、図3に示すように、凸型回路基板11を、均一の厚みを有するカップ型の凸型形状に成形する。ここで、基板材料にはAlやAlN、Siなどのセラミック材料を用い、例えば、粉末状のセラミック材料にポリスチレン、パラフィンワックス、ステアリン酸の混合物などをバインダーとして混合し、CIM成形機などの成形機に投入してカップ型の形状の凸型回路基板11に成形する。また、凸型回路基板11は、CIMの他にもプレス成形、鋳込み成形などの成形法によって成形することも可能である。鋳込み成形により凸型回路基板11を成形する場合には、水溶性の樹脂と水とがバインダーとして用いられる。 First, as shown in FIG. 3, the convex circuit board 11 is formed into a cup-shaped convex shape having a uniform thickness. Here, a ceramic material such as Al 2 O 3 , AlN, or Si 3 N 4 is used as the substrate material. For example, a mixture of polystyrene, paraffin wax, stearic acid, or the like is mixed with a powdered ceramic material as a binder, and CIM It is put into a molding machine such as a molding machine and molded into a convex circuit board 11 having a cup shape. In addition to the CIM, the convex circuit board 11 can be molded by a molding method such as press molding or casting. In the case where the convex circuit board 11 is formed by casting, water-soluble resin and water are used as a binder.

次に、図4に示すように、金属ブロック21を、凸型回路基板11の内部の空間に合わせた凸型のブロック状に成形する。ここで、金属ブロック21の材料には例えばCuやAlなどを用い、これらの金属材料を、例えば鋳型を用いた鋳造やMIM(Metal Injection Molding;金属射出成形)などの成形法によって、凸型回路基板11内部の空間に合致する凸型のブロック状に成形して、金属ブロック21を作製する。なお、このとき、金属ブロック21の外周面に例えば図5に示すような溝21aを形成しておくようにすれば、この溝21aを冷媒流路として活用して凸型回路基板11の内部に冷媒を流すことも可能となり、放熱特性を更に良好なものとすることができる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the metal block 21 is formed into a convex block shape that matches the space inside the convex circuit board 11. Here, for example, Cu or Al is used as the material of the metal block 21, and these metal materials are formed into a convex circuit by a molding method such as casting using a mold or MIM (Metal Injection Molding). The metal block 21 is manufactured by forming into a convex block shape that matches the space inside the substrate 11. At this time, if a groove 21a as shown in FIG. 5 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the metal block 21, for example, the groove 21a is used as a refrigerant flow path inside the convex circuit board 11. It is also possible to flow a refrigerant, and the heat dissipation characteristics can be further improved.

次に、図6に示すように、凸型回路基板11の内部に金属ブロック21を嵌め込み、例えば、ろう付けや固体接合などの接合方法により、これら凸型回路基板11と金属ブロック21とを接合する。これにより、図7に示すように、凸型回路基板11の内部に放熱手段としての金属ブロック21が埋め込まれて一体化された状態となる。なお、凸型回路基板11の回路パターンは、凸型回路基板11と金属ブロック21とを一体化する前に形成してもよいし、凸型回路基板11と金属ブロック21とを一体化した後に形成するようにしてもよい。ただし、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aへのLED素子12の実装は、LED素子12の破損を防止するために、凸型回路基板11と金属ブロック21とを一体化した後の最終工程で行うことが望ましい。   Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the metal block 21 is fitted into the convex circuit board 11, and the convex circuit board 11 and the metal block 21 are joined by a joining method such as brazing or solid joining, for example. To do. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the metal block 21 as the heat dissipation means is embedded in the convex circuit board 11 and integrated. The circuit pattern of the convex circuit board 11 may be formed before the convex circuit board 11 and the metal block 21 are integrated, or after the convex circuit board 11 and the metal block 21 are integrated. You may make it form. However, the LED element 12 is mounted on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 in the final step after the convex circuit board 11 and the metal block 21 are integrated in order to prevent the LED element 12 from being damaged. It is desirable.

[実施例2]
実施例2は、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに沿うように凸型回路基板11の内部に冷媒が流される冷媒流路を貫通形成し、この冷媒流路を放熱手段とした例である。
[Example 2]
Example 2 is an example in which a refrigerant flow path through which a refrigerant flows is formed inside the convex circuit board 11 so as to extend along the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11, and this refrigerant flow path is used as a heat dissipation means.

図8は、本実施例における発光部1の縦断面図である。本実施例では、図8に示すように、凸型回路基板11は半球体の凸型形状に成形され、この半球体形状の凸型回路基板11の内部に、例えば冷却水などの冷媒が流れる冷媒流路22が、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに沿うようなかたちで貫通形成されている。この冷媒流路22は、例えば、頂点部から放射状に分岐する複数の分岐流路の集合として構成される。そして、各分岐流路の壁面のうち凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに近接する部分が、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに倣う形状とされ、複数のLED素子12が実装される凸型回路基板11の凸面11aと、放熱手段としての冷媒流路22との間の距離L2が、凸面11aのほぼ全周に亘って略一定とされている。したがって、本実施例の発光部1では、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに実装された複数のLED素子12の発熱が、冷媒流路22を流れる冷媒によって均一に放熱されることになり、上述した実施例1と同様に、実装位置に応じた放熱効率の差に起因する複数のLED素子12間における素子特性のばらつきを有効に抑え、均一な照明を得ることが可能となる。   FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of the light emitting unit 1 in this embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the convex circuit board 11 is formed into a hemispherical convex shape, and a coolant such as cooling water flows inside the hemispherical convex circuit board 11. The coolant channel 22 is formed so as to penetrate the convex surface 11 a of the convex circuit board 11. The refrigerant flow path 22 is configured as a set of a plurality of branch flow paths that diverge radially from the apex portion, for example. A portion of the wall surface of each branch channel that is close to the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 is shaped to follow the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11, and the convex circuit on which the plurality of LED elements 12 are mounted. A distance L2 between the convex surface 11a of the substrate 11 and the refrigerant flow path 22 as a heat radiating means is substantially constant over substantially the entire circumference of the convex surface 11a. Therefore, in the light emitting unit 1 of the present embodiment, the heat generated by the plurality of LED elements 12 mounted on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 is uniformly dissipated by the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant flow path 22, and is described above. As in the first embodiment, it is possible to effectively suppress variation in element characteristics among the plurality of LED elements 12 due to the difference in heat dissipation efficiency depending on the mounting position, and to obtain uniform illumination.

ここで、本実施例における発光部1の作製工程の一例について、簡単に説明する。   Here, an example of a manufacturing process of the light emitting unit 1 in this embodiment will be briefly described.

まず、図9に示すように、凸型回路基板11の内部に冷媒流路22を貫通形成するための型となる流路形成用部材24を作製する。ここで、流路形成用部材24の材料としては例えばパラフィンワックスなどを用い、この材料を例えば射出成形や押出成形などの成形法によって冷媒流路22に対応した放射状に成形して、流路形成用部材24を作製する。   First, as shown in FIG. 9, a flow path forming member 24 serving as a mold for penetrating and forming the coolant flow path 22 inside the convex circuit board 11 is produced. Here, as the material of the flow path forming member 24, for example, paraffin wax or the like is used, and this material is formed into a radial shape corresponding to the refrigerant flow path 22 by a molding method such as injection molding or extrusion molding to form the flow path. A member 24 is prepared.

次に、図10に示すように、凸型回路基板11を、流路形成用部材24が内部に埋め込まれた状態の半球体の形状に成形する。ここで、基板材料にはAlやAlN、Siなどのセラミック材料を用い、例えば、粉末状にしたセラミック材料にポリスチレン、パラフィンワックス、ステアリン酸の混合物などをバインダーとして混合し、これを予め流路形成用部材24がセットされたCIM成形機などの成形機に投入して、半球体形状の凸型回路基板11に成形する。このとき、成形機における基板成形型の成形面から均一に浮かした状態で、流路形成用部材24を基板成形型の内部に配置しておくことにより、凸面11aからの距離が均一となる位置に流路形成用部材24が埋め込まれた状態の凸型回路基板11を得る。また、凸型回路基板11は、CIMの他にも鋳込み成形によって成形することも可能である。鋳込み成形により凸型回路基板11を成形する場合には、水溶性の樹脂と水がバインダーとして用いられる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the convex circuit board 11 is formed into a hemispherical shape in which the flow path forming member 24 is embedded. Here, a ceramic material such as Al 2 O 3 , AlN, or Si 3 N 4 is used as the substrate material. For example, a powdered ceramic material is mixed with a mixture of polystyrene, paraffin wax, stearic acid, and the like as a binder, This is put into a molding machine such as a CIM molding machine in which the flow path forming member 24 is set in advance, and molded into the hemispherical convex circuit board 11. At this time, a position where the distance from the convex surface 11a becomes uniform by disposing the flow path forming member 24 inside the substrate molding die in a state of floating uniformly from the molding surface of the substrate molding die in the molding machine. Thus, the convex circuit board 11 in which the flow path forming member 24 is embedded is obtained. Further, the convex circuit board 11 can be formed by casting other than CIM. When the convex circuit board 11 is formed by casting, water-soluble resin and water are used as a binder.

次に、図11に示すように、流路形成用部材24が内部に埋め込まれた状態の半球体形状の凸型回路基板11を高温炉26内に収容し、ヒータ26aの加熱によって、凸型回路基板11内部に埋め込まれた流路形成用部材24と基板材料に混合したバインダーを熱分解させる。ここで、ヒータ26aによる加熱条件は、例えば最高温度が500℃〜600℃程度となるように設定される。この加熱処理により凸型回路基板11内部の流路形成用部材24が分解除去されることで、凸型回路基板11内部に冷媒流路22が形成されることになる。なお、図11においては、高温炉26内に1つの凸型回路基板11を収容した様子を図示しているが、実際には、複数個の凸型回路基板11をまとめて高温炉26内に収容して加熱処理を行う。   Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the hemispherical convex circuit board 11 with the flow path forming member 24 embedded therein is accommodated in a high temperature furnace 26, and the convex shape is obtained by heating the heater 26a. The flow path forming member 24 embedded in the circuit board 11 and the binder mixed in the board material are thermally decomposed. Here, the heating conditions by the heater 26a are set such that the maximum temperature is about 500 ° C. to 600 ° C., for example. By this heat treatment, the flow path forming member 24 inside the convex circuit board 11 is disassembled and removed, whereby the refrigerant flow path 22 is formed inside the convex circuit board 11. In FIG. 11, a state in which one convex circuit board 11 is accommodated in the high-temperature furnace 26 is illustrated, but actually, a plurality of convex circuit boards 11 are collectively put in the high-temperature furnace 26. House and heat-treat.

次に、図12に示すように、流路形成用部材24が分解除去されて冷媒流路22が形成された凸型回路基板11を、高温炉26内のヒータ26aの加熱によって商品形状に焼き固める。ここで、焼結の条件は、例えば、基板材料にAlを用いた場合は高温炉26内を大気雰囲気として、ヒータ26aによる加熱条件を、例えば最高温度が1500℃〜1600℃程度となるように設定する。また、基板材料にAlNを用いた場合は高温炉26内を窒素雰囲気として、ヒータ26aによる加熱条件を、例えば最高温度が1800℃〜1900℃程度となるように設定する。この焼結処理によって凸型回路基板11が商品形状に焼き固められ、図13に示すように、内部に冷媒流路22が凸面11aに沿って貫通形成された凸型回路基板11が作製される。その後、凸型回路基板11に回路パターンが形成され、凸面11aに複数のLED素子12が実装されることで、発光部1が完成する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the convex circuit board 11 on which the flow path forming member 24 is disassembled and removed to form the refrigerant flow path 22 is baked into a product shape by heating a heater 26a in the high temperature furnace 26. Solidify. Here, the sintering conditions are, for example, when Al 2 O 3 is used as a substrate material, the inside of the high-temperature furnace 26 is an air atmosphere, and the heating condition by the heater 26a is, for example, a maximum temperature of about 1500 ° C. to 1600 ° C. Set as follows. When AlN is used as the substrate material, the inside of the high temperature furnace 26 is set to a nitrogen atmosphere, and the heating conditions by the heater 26a are set so that the maximum temperature is about 1800 ° C. to 1900 ° C., for example. By this sintering process, the convex circuit board 11 is baked into a product shape, and as shown in FIG. 13, the convex circuit board 11 in which the refrigerant flow path 22 is formed through the convex surface 11a is produced. . Thereafter, a circuit pattern is formed on the convex circuit board 11, and a plurality of LED elements 12 are mounted on the convex surface 11a, whereby the light emitting unit 1 is completed.

以上、具体的な例を挙げながら詳細に説明したように、本発明を適用したLED照明装置は、凸型回路基板11の内部に金属ブロック21や冷媒流路22などの放熱手段を設け、その放熱手段の凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに近接する部分の形状を凸面11aに倣う形状としているので、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに実装された複数のLED素子12の発熱を放熱手段によって均一に放熱することができる。したがって、このLED照明装置によれば、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに実装された複数のLED素子12間における素子特性のばらつきを抑え、均一な照明を得ることができる。   As described above in detail with specific examples, the LED lighting device to which the present invention is applied is provided with heat dissipating means such as the metal block 21 and the refrigerant flow path 22 inside the convex circuit board 11, Since the shape of the portion adjacent to the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 of the heat dissipation means is made to follow the convex surface 11a, the heat generation of the plurality of LED elements 12 mounted on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 is caused by the heat dissipation means. Heat can be evenly dissipated. Therefore, according to this LED illumination device, variation in element characteristics among the plurality of LED elements 12 mounted on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 can be suppressed, and uniform illumination can be obtained.

また、本発明を適用したLED照明装置は、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに複数のLED素子12を実装しているので、全周囲に亘る広い範囲への配光が可能であり、さらに、複数のLED素子12の点灯/消灯を個別に或いはグループごとに選択的に切り替えることにより、自由な配光を得ることができる。   In addition, since the LED lighting device to which the present invention is applied has a plurality of LED elements 12 mounted on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11, light distribution over a wide range over the entire circumference is possible. By selectively switching on / off the plurality of LED elements 12 individually or for each group, free light distribution can be obtained.

なお、以上説明した実施形態は本発明の一適用例を例示したものであり、本発明が以上の実施形態で説明した内容に限定されることを意図するものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で様々な変形が可能である。例えば、LED照明装置の配光特性を向上させるといった観点からは、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに、光源として用いる複数のLED素子12からの光を反射して前方に配光するための反射部を各LED素子12ごとに設けることも有効である。具体的には、例えば図14に示すように、凸型回路基板11の凸面11aに、複数のLED素子12に対応させて複数の凹部28を設け、各凹部28内にLED素子18を実装する。そして、各凹部28の壁面を加工して、LED素子12からの横方向への光を凹部28の壁面にて反射させ、前方に配光できるようにする。凸型回路基板11の凸面11a上に複数のLED素子12をそのまま実装した場合には、隣接するLED素子12の横方向の光が干渉して、照明のむらを発生させる要因となることも懸念されるが、以上のような反射部を設けて各LED素子12からの光を前方に配光するようにすれば、照明むらの発生を有効に抑制することができる。   The embodiment described above is an example of application of the present invention, and the present invention is not intended to be limited to the contents described in the above embodiment, and departs from the spirit of the present invention. Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope. For example, from the viewpoint of improving the light distribution characteristics of the LED lighting device, the reflection for distributing light forward by reflecting light from the plurality of LED elements 12 used as the light source on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11. It is also effective to provide a portion for each LED element 12. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, a plurality of concave portions 28 are provided on the convex surface 11 a of the convex circuit board 11 so as to correspond to the plurality of LED elements 12, and the LED elements 18 are mounted in the respective concave portions 28. . And the wall surface of each recessed part 28 is processed, the light to the horizontal direction from the LED element 12 is reflected in the wall surface of the recessed part 28, and light distribution can be carried out ahead. When a plurality of LED elements 12 are mounted on the convex surface 11a of the convex circuit board 11 as they are, there is a concern that the light in the lateral direction of the adjacent LED elements 12 may interfere to cause uneven illumination. However, if the reflection part as described above is provided to distribute the light from each LED element 12 forward, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of illumination unevenness.

また、上述した実施形態では、スタンド型の照明装置に本発明を適用した例を説明したが、本発明は、例えば図15に示すように、吊り下げタイプの照明装置に対しても有効に適用可能である。この図15に示すような吊り下げタイプの照明装置は、例えば室内の天井などから吊り下げられて室内を照明するものであり、発光部1が下側を向くように基体5に取り付けられ、発光部1を覆うようにフード6が装着される。このような吊り下げタイプの照明装置に本発明を適用した場合、発光部1を覆うフード6の内面を反射面とし、一部のLED素子12からの光を下方に反射させることで、吊り下げタイプの照明装置として理想的な配光特性を得ることができる。   In the embodiment described above, an example in which the present invention is applied to a stand-type lighting device has been described. However, the present invention is also effectively applied to a hanging type lighting device, for example, as shown in FIG. Is possible. The hanging type lighting device as shown in FIG. 15 illuminates the interior of a room by being suspended from, for example, an indoor ceiling, and is attached to the base 5 so that the light emitting unit 1 faces downward. A hood 6 is attached so as to cover the portion 1. When the present invention is applied to such a hanging type lighting device, the inner surface of the hood 6 covering the light emitting unit 1 is used as a reflecting surface, and the light from a part of the LED elements 12 is reflected downward to suspend the lighting device. Ideal light distribution characteristics can be obtained as a type of lighting device.
