従来技術のように、リード線の本数に合わせた個数の穴を有する複数の種類のLEDスペーサは、リード線の本数に合わせた個数の穴を有する複数の種類のLEDスペーサが必要になるとともに、LEDのモールド部分からのリードの引き出し位置とスペーサの穴の位置との一致、不一致の程度により、LEDの取り付け高さが変化する等の問題がある。   As in the prior art, a plurality of types of LED spacers having a number of holes according to the number of lead wires require a plurality of types of LED spacers having a number of holes according to the number of lead wires, There is a problem that the mounting height of the LED changes depending on the degree of coincidence or mismatch between the lead drawing position from the mold part of the LED and the position of the hole of the spacer.

また、1つの長いスリット状の穴を有する形状のスペーサの場合は、引き出されるリードがLEDの下部の面で一直線上に並んでいない仕様のものではLEDの取り付け高さが変化するのみならず、そのリード線の横方向(スリット方向)の位置決めが不可能でありLEDの半田付け作業が難しくなるという問題がある。   In addition, in the case of a spacer having a shape having one long slit-shaped hole, not only the mounting height of the LED changes in the specification in which the lead to be drawn is not aligned on the lower surface of the LED, There is a problem that the positioning of the lead wire in the lateral direction (slit direction) is impossible and the soldering operation of the LED becomes difficult.

更に、従来のLEDスペーサ自体は、いずれの構成のものもLEDの取り付け高さが固定であり、LEDの取り付けの高さが固定化するので高さ毎のLEDスペーサを必要とするという問題もある。
(目的)
本発明の目的は、リードの本数等に拘わらず複数のLEDの位置及び高さの位置決めを可能とするLEDスペーサを提供することにある。
本発明の他の目的は、1ないし複数のLEDの高さを変更可能なLEDスペーサを提供することにある。
本発明の他の目的は、LEDの高さの位置決めに加えてLEDのリードの先端と基板の接続用のスルーホール等との位置決めが可能なLEDスペーサを提供することにある。
Further, the conventional LED spacer itself has a problem that the LED mounting height is fixed, and the LED mounting height is fixed, so that an LED spacer for each height is required. .
(the purpose)
An object of the present invention is to provide an LED spacer that enables positioning of a plurality of LEDs regardless of the number of leads.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an LED spacer capable of changing the height of one or more LEDs.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an LED spacer capable of positioning the tip of an LED lead and a through-hole for connecting a substrate in addition to positioning the height of the LED.

本発明のLEDスペーサは、LEDの発光部分であるモールド下部を搭載する上面と、基板側に配置される下面と、前記上面及び下面の間の側面とからなり、前記上面から下面に向けてモールド下部のリードを挿入可能で断面が十字形状の長穴からなりリードのガイドとなる開口と、前記開口に繋がるモールド下部のリードを貫通可能な下面側の開口とでなる十字状の開口を有する。また、前記基板の開口に嵌入して固定部を構成する前記下面から突出する少なくとも3つの突起部を備え、前記突起部は基板の開口に係止する傾斜形状又は階段形状を有する。前記突起部は、前記側面に設けることができる。 The LED spacer of the present invention comprises an upper surface on which a mold lower part which is a light emitting portion of an LED is mounted, a lower surface disposed on the substrate side, and a side surface between the upper surface and the lower surface, and the mold is directed from the upper surface to the lower surface. The lower lead can be inserted and has a cross-shaped opening formed by an opening serving as a guide for the lead having a cross-shaped cross section in cross section and an opening on the lower surface side through which the lead at the lower part of the mold connected to the opening can pass. Further, the projection includes at least three projections that are fitted into the opening of the substrate and project from the lower surface constituting the fixing portion, and the projection has an inclined shape or a stepped shape that is engaged with the opening of the substrate. The protrusion may be provided on the side surface.

また、前記十字状の開口は、前記中央部及び長穴の端部である4つの端部のみがLEDのモールド下部のリードを下面側において貫通可能な径を有するように上面側から下面側に向けて前記中央部及び4つの端部以外の部分次第に断面開口が狭まることを特徴とし、又は下面側でリードが貫通可能な5つの開口に分かれることを特徴とする。 Further, the cross-shaped aperture, the so only the center part and four ends is an end of the elongated hole has a diameter which can pass through the lead of the mold lower portion of the LED on the lower surface side, lower side from the upper side A portion other than the central portion and the four end portions is gradually narrowed in cross section toward the end, or is divided into five openings through which the lead can penetrate on the lower surface side.

より具体的にはLEDスペーサのリードを挿入する部分に十字穴を開けることで、2本リードのLEDと3本リードのLEDを1つのLEDスペーサで共用して実装することができリードを挿入する時にLEDの位置が決まり易く、また、LEDスペーサの基板取り付けの突起部の形状によりLEDスペーサの高さが変更可能なことを特徴とする。LEDスペーサ下部を三角形形状、階段形状とすることにより、基板側の穴径を変更することで高さ調整が可能になる。   More specifically, a two-lead LED and a three-lead LED can be shared and mounted by one LED spacer by opening a cross hole in the portion where the LED spacer lead is inserted, and the lead is inserted. In some cases, the position of the LED is easily determined, and the height of the LED spacer can be changed by the shape of the protrusion of the LED spacer mounted on the substrate. By making the lower part of the LED spacer into a triangular shape or a staircase shape, the height can be adjusted by changing the hole diameter on the substrate side.

本発明によれば、十字穴を有するLEDスペーサの構成により、リードがモールド下部とスペーサの上面に介在することなく、正確にモールド下部がスペーサの上面に搭載可能であり高精度な高さの位置決めが可能である。また、複数の十字穴を有するスペーサ構成とすることにより、十字穴のどの位置においても、2本リードのLEDと3本リードのLEDに兼用の高さ調整可能なLEDの取り付けが可能である。   According to the present invention, the configuration of the LED spacer having a cross hole allows the lower part of the mold to be accurately mounted on the upper surface of the spacer without causing the lead to be interposed between the lower part of the mold and the upper surface of the spacer. Is possible. In addition, by adopting a spacer configuration having a plurality of cross holes, it is possible to attach a two-lead LED and a three-lead LED that can be adjusted in height at any position of the cross hole.

また、LEDのリードの半田付けを行う時、十字穴がリードのガイドになるから位置決めがし易く半田付け工程が容易になる。   Also, when soldering the LED leads, the cross hole serves as a guide for the leads, so that positioning is easy and the soldering process is facilitated.

更に、LEDスペーサの基板取り付け用の脚部となる突起部の傾斜形状等により、基板の取り付け穴の大きさを変更することによりLEDスペーサの上面の高さの変更が可能であり、各種のLEDの位置決め及び取り付けに適用でき汎用性の高いLEDスペーサが構成できる。   Furthermore, the height of the upper surface of the LED spacer can be changed by changing the size of the mounting hole of the substrate, depending on the inclined shape of the protrusions that become the legs for mounting the LED spacer on the substrate, and various LED Can be applied to positioning and mounting of the LED, and a highly versatile LED spacer can be configured.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a view showing a first embodiment of an LED spacer according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a shape and structure of an appearance as seen from each surface of the LED spacer. The appearance of the LED spacer 1 of the present embodiment includes a structure having a plurality of holes (openings) that are arranged on the circuit board 3 and into which the lead wires 22 of the LEDs 2 are inserted.

図2に示すように、本実施の形態のLEDスペーサ1は、発光ダイオード2の樹脂(プラスチック等)によるモールド部分21の下部(モールド下部)が取り付けられる面となる上面(天面)12と、スペーサが取り付けられる基板3側の面となる下面(底面)13と、前記上面12と下面13の間の側面14からなり、外形が略直方体の箱状のLEDスペーサであって、該スペーサには前記上面12から下面13に至る少なくとも1つの十字状に開口したリードを挿入する十字穴11が設けられたLEDのホルダー構造を有する。   As shown in FIG. 2, the LED spacer 1 of the present embodiment includes an upper surface (top surface) 12 that is a surface to which a lower portion (lower mold portion) of a mold portion 21 made of resin (plastic or the like) of the light emitting diode 2 is attached, A box-shaped LED spacer comprising a lower surface (bottom surface) 13 serving as a surface on the side of the substrate 3 to which the spacer is attached, and a side surface 14 between the upper surface 12 and the lower surface 13 and having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. It has an LED holder structure provided with a cross hole 11 into which at least one cross-shaped lead extending from the upper surface 12 to the lower surface 13 is inserted.

ここで十字穴11は取り付けるLED2の個数に相当する数等、必要数設けられる。第1の実施の形態は上面12において十字穴11の一方の長穴がスペーサの長手方向に略一直線上に並ぶように配置したものである。この十字穴の配置、つまり十字穴11の相互の配置関係は、LED2のリード線22が基板上で電気接続される位置関係により決定される。   Here, the cross holes 11 are provided in a necessary number such as the number corresponding to the number of LEDs 2 to be attached. In the first embodiment, one long hole of the cross hole 11 is arranged on the upper surface 12 so as to be aligned substantially in a straight line in the longitudinal direction of the spacer. The arrangement of the cross holes, that is, the mutual arrangement of the cross holes 11 is determined by the positional relationship in which the lead wires 22 of the LEDs 2 are electrically connected on the substrate.

次に、第1の実施の形態のLEDスペーサによるLEDの取り付け方法について図3、図4により説明する。
図3は十字穴11へのLEDのリードの挿入状態を示す図である。十字穴11の形状は一方が短い(小さい)長穴形状であり他方が長い(大きい)長穴形状に形成された例を示している。十字穴の中の小さい円状の表示はリード22の断面形状を示し、大きい円状の表示はLEDの発光部分21の断面形状を示している。図3(a)は2本のリード線をもつLEDを挿入した状態を示しており、LEDの仕様に応じて小さい長穴に取り付けたものである。図3(b)は3本のリード線をもつLEDを挿入した状態を示しており、LEDの仕様に応じて大きい長穴に取り付けたものである。図3(c)、(d)はリード数の多いLED等を取り付けた例を示すものである。

The cross hole 11 shows an example in which one is a short (small) long hole shape and the other is a long (large) long hole shape. A small circular display in the cross hole indicates the cross-sectional shape of the lead 22, and a large circular display indicates the cross-sectional shape of the light emitting portion 21 of the LED. FIG. 3A shows a state in which an LED having two lead wires is inserted, which is attached to a small slot according to the specification of the LED. FIG. 3B shows a state in which an LED having three lead wires is inserted, and is attached to a large slot according to the specification of the LED. FIGS. 3C and 3D show an example in which an LED having a large number of leads is attached.

図4は本実施の形態のLEDスペーサにより基板に複数のLEDを取り付けた状態を示す図である。異なる端子数のLED2でも各リードは十字穴11の内部に収納され、モールド下部と上面11との間に挟まるようなことがないので、各LEDの取り付け位置を正しく規定でき、また、高さは正確に一致する。   FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which a plurality of LEDs are attached to the substrate by the LED spacer of the present embodiment. Even in the LED 2 having a different number of terminals, each lead is housed in the cross hole 11 and is not sandwiched between the lower part of the mold and the upper surface 11, so that the mounting position of each LED can be correctly defined, and the height is Match exactly.

本実施の形態におけるLEDスペーサ1は、LEDの取り付け位置、高さに応じた十字穴の位置及び寸法に形成され、また、基板3とは予め任意の手段で固定することも複数のLEDの取り付けにより固定することも可能である。   The LED spacer 1 in the present embodiment is formed at the position and size of the cross hole according to the mounting position and height of the LED, and can be fixed to the substrate 3 in advance by any means. It is also possible to fix by.

(第2の実施の形態)
図5は本発明のLEDスペーサの第2の実施の形態を示す図であり、図6はLEDスペーサの各面からみた外観の形状、構造を示す図である。本実施の形態のLEDスペーサ1の外観は回路基板3の上に配置されLEDのリード線が挿入される複数の穴(開口)11を有するとともに、LEDスペーサ1の側面に基板3に設けた開口に挿入され、基板3とLEDスペーサ1の上面12との間隔を調整可能な下部形状として脚部を構成する突起部15を備える点で第1の実施の形態と相違する。
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a view showing a second embodiment of the LED spacer according to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a view showing the shape and structure of the LED spacer as viewed from each surface. The appearance of the LED spacer 1 of the present embodiment has a plurality of holes (openings) 11 that are arranged on the circuit board 3 and into which the LED lead wires are inserted, and are provided in the side surface of the LED spacer 1 in the board 3. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it includes a protrusion 15 that forms a leg portion as a lower shape that can be inserted into the lower portion and can adjust the distance between the substrate 3 and the upper surface 12 of the LED spacer 1.

第2の実施の形態のLEDスペーサを基板に設けた開口への取り付け方法について説明する。
図7はLEDスペーサ1の下部形状の種類及びスペーサの基板への取り付け方法を示す図である。図7(a)はLEDスペーサの側面から突出した前記下部形状として、基板3の開口に嵌装し結合する先端が矩形状の傾斜形状151とした例であり、図7(b)は先端が円弧状の傾斜形状152とした例であり、更に、図7(c)は二等辺三角形の傾斜形状153とした例であり、図7(d)は基板3と係合する階段状の形状154とした例である。
A method of attaching the LED spacer of the second embodiment to the opening provided on the substrate will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the type of the lower shape of the LED spacer 1 and a method for attaching the spacer to the substrate. FIG. 7A shows an example in which the lower end protruding from the side surface of the LED spacer is a rectangular inclined shape 151 that is fitted and joined to the opening of the substrate 3, and FIG. FIG. 7C shows an example of an inclined shape 153 having an isosceles triangle, and FIG. 7D shows a stepped shape 154 that engages with the substrate 3. It is an example.

LEDスペーサ1の下部形状に例えば傾斜形状151、152、153又は階段形状154を与え、基板3にはLEDスペーサ1の下部の突出部15に対応する適宜の径をもつ開口(結合孔)31を設け、該基板3の開口31にLEDスペーサ下部の三角形等の突出部を挿入し基板に固定し、LEDのリードを半田付けする。   For example, inclined shapes 151, 152, 153 or staircase shapes 154 are given to the lower shape of the LED spacer 1, and an opening (coupling hole) 31 having an appropriate diameter corresponding to the protruding portion 15 at the lower portion of the LED spacer 1 is provided on the substrate 3. Protruding portions such as triangles below the LED spacer are inserted into the openings 31 of the substrate 3 and fixed to the substrate, and the LED leads are soldered.

ここで基板3の開口の口径311、312は、取り付けるLEDの高さを考慮して、前記突起の傾斜形状の傾斜部又は階段形状の段部により上面11が所定の高さになるように形成され、該開口にLEDスペーサ1の突出部が嵌装され固定される。このようにLEDスペーサ下部の形状の大きさに合わせて穴径を決定することにより取り付けたLEDの取り付け高さを変更する。LED2の高さを高くしたい場合は開口径31を小さくし、LEDの高さを低くしたい場合は開口径31を大きくする。なお、リード2本のLED及びリード3本のLEDのLEDスペーサ1の十字穴11へ取り付けは、第1の実施の形態と同様である。   Here, the apertures 311 and 312 of the opening of the substrate 3 are formed so that the upper surface 11 has a predetermined height by the inclined portion of the protrusion or the stepped portion of the step in consideration of the height of the LED to be attached. Then, the protruding portion of the LED spacer 1 is fitted and fixed to the opening. Thus, the mounting height of the mounted LED is changed by determining the hole diameter according to the size of the shape of the lower part of the LED spacer. When it is desired to increase the height of the LED 2, the opening diameter 31 is reduced. When it is desired to reduce the height of the LED, the opening diameter 31 is increased. The attachment of the two-lead LED and the three-lead LED to the cross hole 11 of the LED spacer 1 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

図8は、本実施の形態の複数のLEDスペーサ1を基板3に取り付けた例を示す図である。基板3にLEDスペーサ1毎の開口径の異なる開口を設けることにより、スペーサの上面の高さを個別に設定することが可能である。   FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example in which the plurality of LED spacers 1 according to the present embodiment are attached to the substrate 3. By providing the substrate 3 with openings having different opening diameters for each LED spacer 1, it is possible to individually set the height of the upper surface of the spacer.

(他の実施の形態)
以上の実施の形態は、LEDスペーサの十字状の開口は、上面から下面まで断面が同一形状でなるものを前提に説明したが、上面側からLEDのリードを挿入して、基板のスルーホールを貫通して基板の裏面で半田接続する場合のように、基板のスルーホール位置に正確にリードを導くことを可能とする十字形状等を採用すると好適である。
(Other embodiments)
The above embodiments have been described on the assumption that the cross-shaped opening of the LED spacer has the same cross-section from the upper surface to the lower surface. However, by inserting the LED leads from the upper surface side, It is preferable to adopt a cross shape or the like that allows the lead to be accurately guided to the through-hole position of the substrate, as in the case of penetrating and soldering on the back surface of the substrate.

図9は、本発明のLEDスペーサの第3の実施の形態を示す図である。図9(a)に示すようにLEDスペーサ1の上面12の十字形状の開口は前述の実施の形態と同様であるが、下面13の開口の形状が図9(b)に示すように異なるように構成したものである。つまり、   FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a third embodiment of the LED spacer of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9A, the cross-shaped opening on the upper surface 12 of the LED spacer 1 is the same as in the previous embodiment, but the shape of the opening on the lower surface 13 is different as shown in FIG. 9B. It is configured. That means

図9(b)の左側のLEDスペーサは、下面13の開口の形状として十字状の中央部及び長穴の端部である4つの端部のみがLEDのリードが通過可能な程度の径を有するように上面12から下面13にかけて前記中央部及び4つの端部以外の部分が次第に断面開口が狭まるように構成したものである。   The LED spacer on the left side of FIG. 9B has a diameter that allows the LED lead to pass only through the cross-shaped central portion and the four end portions of the elongated hole as the shape of the opening of the lower surface 13. As described above, the cross section opening is gradually narrowed from the upper surface 12 to the lower surface 13 except for the central portion and the four end portions.

図9(b)の右側のLEDスペーサは、下面13の開口の形状として十字状の中央部及び長穴の端部に相当する4つの位置にのみ円形等のLEDのリードが通過可能な程度の径の開口を有するように、前記中央部及び4つの端部以外の部分が次第に断面開口が狭まり少なくとも下面では閉塞するように構成したものである。   The LED spacer on the right side of FIG. 9B has a shape that allows the LED lead such as a circle to pass only at four positions corresponding to the cross-shaped central portion and the end of the elongated hole as the shape of the opening of the lower surface 13. A portion other than the central portion and the four end portions is configured so that the cross-sectional opening gradually narrows and closes at least on the lower surface so as to have a diameter opening.

更に他の実施の形態として、LEDスペーサの上面は、取り付けられた基板に対し平行面である必要なく適宜傾斜を有するように形成されていることが可能であり、また、十字形状の開口毎に段差を有する形状とし、例えば単一光及び2色光のモールド寸法の相違を補い、同一面にモールド部の上端を揃えるように構成することが可能である。   As yet another embodiment, the upper surface of the LED spacer may be formed to have an appropriate inclination without being parallel to the attached substrate, and for each cross-shaped opening. A shape having a step, for example, can be configured to compensate for the difference in mold size between single light and two-color light and align the upper end of the mold part on the same surface.

また、本発明の以上の実施の形態おいてLEDを取り付ける十字の穴の数は1個から可能であり、また、LEDスペーサ自体の材質はプラスチックでも金属でも構成することが可能である。   Further, in the above embodiments of the present invention, the number of cross holes for attaching the LEDs can be from one, and the LED spacer itself can be made of plastic or metal.
