And is arranged in parallel in the width direction of the vending machine main body 2 in the width direction of the vending machine body 2 and mounted on the element mounting substrate 21. And it is comprised so that white light may be radiated | emitted as illumination light.
<導光部材20の構成>
導光部材20は、展示用物品Bをその内部で保持する保持部20Aを有し、素子搭載基板21上に実装され、全体がPC(ポリカーボネート)樹脂からなる透明部材によって形成されている。そして、発光ダイオードランプ19からの白色光を周辺空気層との界面で反射しつつ、発光ダイオードランプ搭載側と反対側に進行して展示用物品側及び物品視認者側に導光するようにように構成されている。導光部材20の材料としては、PC樹脂の他にPMMA(ポリメタクリル酸メチル)樹脂等の透明プラスチックが用いられる。
<Configuration of light guide member 20>
The light guide member 20 has a holding portion 20A for holding the display article B therein, is mounted on the element mounting substrate 21, and is entirely formed of a transparent member made of PC (polycarbonate) resin. Then, white light from the light emitting diode lamp 19 is reflected at the interface with the surrounding air layer, and proceeds to the side opposite to the light emitting diode lamp mounting side so as to be guided to the display article side and the article viewer side. It is configured. As a material for the light guide member 20, a transparent plastic such as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) resin is used in addition to the PC resin.
導光部材20の前面部には、図3(b)に示すように、展示用物品Bにおける受光面bの縦横面積と略同一の縦横面積をもち、かつ展示用物品Bの受光面(被照明領域)bを指向する第1光出射面22A及び物品視認者側に露出する第2光出射面22Bからなる光出射面22が設けられている。これにより、各発光ダイオードランプ19からの放射光が導光部材20を介して展示用物品側及び物品視認者側に出射される。この場合、第1光出射面22Aからの出射光が展示用物品側に、また第2光出射面22Bからの出射光が物品視認者側にそれぞれ放射される。 As shown in FIG. 3B, the front surface of the light guide member 20 has a vertical and horizontal area substantially the same as the vertical and horizontal areas of the light receiving surface b of the display article B, and the light receiving surface (covered) of the display article B. There is provided a light emission surface 22 including a first light emission surface 22A directed to the illumination area b and a second light emission surface 22B exposed to the article viewer side. Thereby, the radiated light from each light-emitting diode lamp 19 is emitted to the display article side and the article viewer side through the light guide member 20. In this case, the emitted light from the first light emitting surface 22A is emitted to the display article side, and the emitted light from the second light emitting surface 22B is emitted to the article viewer side.
導光部材20の背面には、第1光出射面22Aに対応する部位に白色塗料でドット印刷処理を施すことにより縦横方向に並列する多数の反射部(拡散部)20Bが設けられている。これにより、導光部材20内に導入された各発光ダイオードランプ19からの放射光が拡散部20Bで反射して拡散されるため、これら反射光(拡散光)が第1光出射面22Aから均一な光分布状態で出射される。 On the back surface of the light guide member 20, a large number of reflecting portions (diffusion portions) 20 </ b> B arranged in parallel in the vertical and horizontal directions are provided by performing dot printing processing with a white paint on a portion corresponding to the first light emitting surface 22 </ b> A. Thereby, since the radiated light from each light emitting diode lamp 19 introduced into the light guide member 20 is reflected and diffused by the diffusing portion 20B, the reflected light (diffused light) is uniform from the first light emitting surface 22A. It is emitted in a light distribution state.
導光部材20の上面及び背面・側面(界面)であって、第1光出射面22Aに対応する部位には反射シート23が貼付されている。これにより、導光部材20内に導入された各発光ダイオードランプ19からの放射光が反射シート23で反射されて光出射面22から出射される。このため、光出射面22から出射される照明光量を増加させることができ、光利用効率を高めることができる。なお、導光部材20には、反射シート23を貼付する代わりに白色塗料等を印刷してもよい。 A reflection sheet 23 is affixed to the upper surface, the back surface, and the side surface (interface) of the light guide member 20 and corresponding to the first light emitting surface 22A. Thereby, the emitted light from each light emitting diode lamp 19 introduced into the light guide member 20 is reflected by the reflection sheet 23 and emitted from the light emitting surface 22. For this reason, the illumination light quantity radiate | emitted from the light-projection surface 22 can be increased, and light utilization efficiency can be improved. Note that a white paint or the like may be printed on the light guide member 20 instead of attaching the reflection sheet 23.
導光部材20には、その下面(光導入面)に開口し、かつ発光ダイオードランプ19を収容可能な断面半円形状の3つないし複数の凹部24が設けられている。これら3つないし複数の凹部24内にはそれぞれ発光ダイオードランプ19が配置されている。これにより、発光ダイオードランプ19からの放射光が導光部材20内に導入され易くなり、導光部材20に対する放射光の導入量を増加させることができる。 The light guide member 20 is provided with three or a plurality of concave portions 24 having a semicircular cross section that is open on the lower surface (light introduction surface) and can accommodate the light emitting diode lamp 19. A light emitting diode lamp 19 is disposed in each of the three or plural recesses 24. Thereby, the emitted light from the light emitting diode lamp 19 can be easily introduced into the light guide member 20, and the amount of the emitted light introduced into the light guide member 20 can be increased.
〔照明装置3の動作〕
各発光ダイオードランプ19に電源から電圧が印加されると、各発光ダイオードランプ19から照明光として白色光が放射される。次に、これら白色光が凹部24の内面から導光部材20内に導入され、導光部材20内を反射しながら上方に進行する。この場合、導光部材20内において、第1光出射面22Aに対応する領域では、白色光が反射部(拡散部)20B及び反射シート23で反射を繰り返して導光部材20内で拡散され、第1光出射面22Aから展示用物品側に出射される。また、第2光出射面22Bに対応する領域では、白色光が導光部材20と周辺空気層との界面で反射を繰り返して上方に進行するとともに、第2光出射面22Bから物品視認者側に出射される。
[Operation of Lighting Device 3]
When a voltage is applied to each light emitting diode lamp 19 from a power source, white light is emitted from each light emitting diode lamp 19 as illumination light. Next, the white light is introduced into the light guide member 20 from the inner surface of the concave portion 24 and proceeds upward while reflecting the light guide member 20. In this case, in the region corresponding to the first light exit surface 22A in the light guide member 20, the white light is repeatedly reflected by the reflection part (diffusion part) 20B and the reflection sheet 23 and diffused in the light guide member 20. The light is emitted from the first light emission surface 22A to the display article side. Further, in the region corresponding to the second light emitting surface 22B, the white light repeats reflection at the interface between the light guide member 20 and the surrounding air layer and travels upward, and from the second light emitting surface 22B to the article viewer side. Is emitted.
[第1の実施の形態の効果]

According to the first embodiment described above, the following effects can be obtained.
(1)第1光出射面22Aからの出射光が展示用物品側に、また第2光出射面22Bからの出射光が物品視認者側にそれぞれ放射されるため、物品視認者側からは展示用物品Bが展示スペース8内で浮いたような状態で視認される。この場合、第2光出射面22Bに対応する領域にはドット印刷が施されておらず、また反射シートが貼付されておらず、このため導光部材20のランプ近傍領域が透明であることから、この領域を介して導光部材20の背景が一層明瞭に視認される。これにより、展示用物品Bの斬新な展示性を得ることができ、物品視認者の視覚に訴える演出効果を高めることができる。 (1) Since the emitted light from the first light emitting surface 22A is emitted to the display article side and the emitted light from the second light emitting surface 22B is emitted to the article viewer side, the article viewer side displays the light. The product B is visually recognized as if it is floating in the exhibition space 8. In this case, the area corresponding to the second light exit surface 22B is not subjected to dot printing, and the reflection sheet is not affixed. Therefore, the area near the lamp of the light guide member 20 is transparent. Through this region, the background of the light guide member 20 is visually recognized more clearly. Thereby, the novel display property of the article | item B for exhibition can be acquired, and the production effect appealing to the visual perception of an article | item viewer can be heightened.
(2)導光部材20によって展示用物品Bを保持する構造であるため、導光部材20の下方に発光ダイオードランプ19を配置することができる。このため、展示用スペース8を形成するサンプル台や背面板等に対して従来必要とした展示用物品の取り付けや照明素子の配線が不要になり、展示用部品Bの取付作業及び照明素子の配線作業の簡素化を図ることができる。 (2) Since the display article B is held by the light guide member 20, the light emitting diode lamp 19 can be disposed below the light guide member 20. For this reason, it is not necessary to attach an exhibition article or wiring of an illumination element, which is conventionally required with respect to a sample table, a back plate, or the like forming the exhibition space 8, and the installation work of the exhibition part B and the wiring of the illumination element are eliminated. The work can be simplified.
(3)展示用部品Bをその内部で照明装置3によって照明し、かつ背面側の反射シートで背面(外部)からの光を遮断するため、展示スペース8内の装飾のために仮に他の発光素子を用いて展示用物品Bの背面側で発光させることがあっても、この発光による影響を受けず、良好な展示照明を得ることができる。 (3) In order to illuminate the display part B with the illumination device 3 inside and to block light from the back (external) with the reflection sheet on the back side, another light emission is temporarily provided for decoration in the exhibition space 8 Even if light is emitted from the back side of the display article B using the element, good display illumination can be obtained without being affected by the light emission.

There are features.
このため、導光部材20の下方には、発光ダイオードランプ19を搭載する素子搭載基板16が物品視認者側に接近して配設されている。 Therefore, below the light guide member 20, the element mounting board 16 on which the light emitting diode lamp 19 is mounted is disposed close to the article viewer side.
[第2の実施の形態の効果]

[Effect of the third embodiment]
According to the third embodiment described above, in addition to the effects (1) to (3) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
各サイズ(縦方向寸法)が互いに異なる複数種の展示用物品Bを展示する場合、共通の導光部材20によって展示用物品Bを選択的に保持することができ、部品点数の削減によるコストの低廉化を図ることができる。この場合、各発光ダイオードランプ19からの放射光が拡散部52A及び反射シート23で反射して導光部材20内で拡散されるため、これら反射光(拡散光)が光出射面22(第1光出射面22A及び第2光出射面22B)から均一な光分布状態で出射され、複数種の展示用物品Bに対して良好な展示照明を選択的に得ることができる。 When exhibiting a plurality of types of display articles B having different sizes (vertical dimensions), the display article B can be selectively held by the common light guide member 20, and the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts. Cost reduction can be achieved. In this case, since the radiated light from each light-emitting diode lamp 19 is reflected by the diffusion portion 52A and the reflection sheet 23 and diffused in the light guide member 20, the reflected light (diffused light) is reflected on the light emitting surface 22 (first light Light is emitted in a uniform light distribution state from the light emission surface 22A and the second light emission surface 22B), and favorable display illumination can be selectively obtained for a plurality of types of display articles B.
以上、本発明の展示用物品の照明装置(自動販売機)を上記の実施の形態に基づいて説明したが、本発明は上記の実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の態様において実施することが可能であり、例えば次に示すような変形も可能である。 As mentioned above, although the illuminating device (vending machine) of the display article of this invention was demonstrated based on said embodiment, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, and does not deviate from the summary. The present invention can be implemented in various modes within the scope, and for example, the following modifications are possible.
(1)各実施の形態では、反射部(拡散部)20B,52Aの形成が導光部材20,52の背面に白色塗料でドット印刷処理を施すことにより得られる場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されず、例えばシボ加工やエッチング加工によって反射部(拡散部)を導光部材に設けても差し支えない。すなわち、導光部材内に導入された照明光が第1光出射面22Aから均一な光分布状態で出射されるために、導光部材における少なくとも展示用物品に対応する部位に拡散処理が施されていればよい。 (1) In each of the embodiments, the case where the reflection portions (diffusion portions) 20B and 52A are formed by performing dot printing processing with the white paint on the back surfaces of the light guide members 20 and 52 has been described. However, the reflective portion (diffusion portion) may be provided on the light guide member by, for example, embossing or etching. That is, in order for the illumination light introduced into the light guide member to be emitted from the first light exit surface 22A in a uniform light distribution state, a diffusion process is performed on at least a portion of the light guide member corresponding to the display article. It only has to be.
(2)各実施の形態では、発光ダイオードランプ19から照明光として白色光を放射するために、発光ダイオード素子からの放射光(青色光)を受けて励起されることにより黄色の波長変換光を放射する蛍光体層を有する発光ダイオードランプである場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されず、発光ダイオード素子から放射される放射光(紫色光:波長370〜390nm)を受けて励起されることにより白色の励起光を放射する蛍光体層を有する発光ダイオードランプであってもよい。また、蛍光体層を用いず、R(赤)色及びG(緑)色・B(青)色3種の発光ダイオード素子を有する発光ダイオードランプとしても勿論よい。 (2) In each embodiment, in order to radiate white light as illumination light from the light emitting diode lamp 19, yellow wavelength converted light is obtained by being excited by receiving radiation light (blue light) from the light emitting diode element. Although the case where the light emitting diode lamp has a phosphor layer to radiate has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and is excited by receiving radiated light (purple light: wavelength 370 to 390 nm) emitted from the light emitting diode element. Thus, a light emitting diode lamp having a phosphor layer that emits white excitation light may be used. Of course, a light emitting diode lamp having three types of light emitting diode elements of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) colors without using the phosphor layer may be used.
(3)各実施の形態では、展示用物品Bがプラスチック製の角筒によって形成されている場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されず、例えば紙製の円筒であってもよく、その材質及び形状は展示用物品等に応じて適宜変更することができる。 (3) In each embodiment, the case where the display article B is formed of a plastic square tube has been described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, a paper cylinder. The material and shape can be appropriately changed according to the display article or the like.
