Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a lighting device that is attached to a wall panel such as a ceiling. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, lighting devices that use a thin, lightweight organic EL panel that emits light in a planar manner as a light-emitting panel have been known (for example, Patent Document 1). The light-emitting panel of Patent Document 1 is laid out together with other light-emitting panels on an installation surface such as a ceiling, and the plurality of light-emitting panels can function as a single light-emitting surface with a unified appearance. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6296772 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Meanwhile, unlike point-emitting LEDs, typical organic EL panels, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, have a rectangular light-emitting surface that has a direction. When an organic EL panel is used as a light-emitting panel and is installed alongside other light-emitting panels as in Patent Document 1, if the light-emitting surface is tilted, the sense of unity with the other light-emitting panels is lost. Therefore, when arranging light-emitting panels side by side, it is necessary to precisely position each light-emitting panel relative to the mounting surface.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a lighting device that allows the inclination of the light-emitting surface of the lighting panel to be easily adjusted while the lighting device is attached to a wall panel. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] One aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a lighting device that is attached by partially embedding it into a mounting through-hole of a wall panel, the lighting device comprising: a lighting panel; and a mounting bracket; the lighting panel having a panel main body having a light-emitting surface and a raised portion raised from the back surface of the panel main body; the mounting bracket having mounting claws, a surrounding portion that surrounds the raised portion, and a restricting portion that restricts movement of the lighting panel in a direction away from the wall panel; the mounting bracket can be inserted into the mounting through-hole and the mounting claws can be engaged with the back main surface of the wall panel and / or the inner wall surface of the mounting through-hole, thereby attaching the lighting panel to the wall panel; and the lighting panel can rotate circumferentially relative to the mounting bracket with the raised portion as a rotation axis when the lighting panel is attached to the wall panel.

[0007] According to this aspect, since the lighting panel can be rotated in the circumferential direction around the protruding portion as the rotation axis relative to the mounting bracket, the tilt of the light-emitting surface of the lighting panel can be easily adjusted even after it has been attached to the wall panel. Therefore, precise positioning is not required, and the tilt of the light-emitting surface can be easily adjusted compared to conventional methods.

[0008] In a preferred aspect, the protruding portion is loosely fitted into the surrounding portion.

[0009] According to this aspect, the protruding portion is fitted into the surrounding portion with some play, so that the lighting panel can be easily rotated relative to the mounting bracket.

[0010] A preferred aspect includes an angle limiting portion that limits the angle at which the lighting panel can be rotated relative to the mounting bracket.

[0011] According to this aspect, the lighting panel does not rotate too much relative to the mounting bracket, the angle can be easily adjusted, and it is easy to align it when placed next to other lighting devices.

[0012] In a preferred aspect, the rotatable angle of the lighting panel is within 10 degrees.

[0013] According to this aspect, since the light emitting surface can be slightly rotated, it is easier to fine-tune the inclination of the light emitting surface, and it is easier to align the light emitting surface with other lighting devices.

[0014] In a preferred aspect, the raised portion has a limiting groove on a side surface, both ends of the limiting groove in the extension direction are closed by restricting wall portions, and the mounting fixture has a convex portion inserted into the limiting groove.

[0015] According to this aspect, the protrusion of the mounting bracket abuts against the restriction wall, thereby restricting movement of the lighting panel in the extension direction of the restriction groove.

[0016] In a preferred aspect, the maximum length of the protruding portion in plan view is shorter than the maximum length of the surrounding portion and longer than the minimum length of the surrounding portion.

[0017] According to this aspect, the difference in shape between the raised portion and the surrounding portion prevents the lighting panel from rotating too much, making fine adjustments easy.

[0018] One aspect of the present invention is an illumination device that is attached by partially embedding it into a mounting through-hole of a wall panel, the illumination device comprising: an illumination panel; and a mounting bracket; the illumination panel having a panel main body having a light-emitting surface and a raised portion raised from the back surface of the panel main body; the mounting bracket having a surrounding portion that surrounds the raised portion and a restricting portion that restricts movement of the illumination panel in a direction away from the panel; the mounting bracket is inserted into the mounting through-hole to attach the illumination panel to the wall panel; and the illumination panel, with the illumination panel attached to the wall panel, is rotatable in a circumferential direction relative to the mounting bracket, with the raised portion serving as the axis of rotation.

[0019] According to this aspect, since the lighting panel can be rotated in the circumferential direction around the protruding portion as the rotation axis relative to the mounting bracket, the tilt of the light-emitting surface of the lighting panel can be easily adjusted even after it has been attached to the wall panel. Therefore, precise positioning is not required, and the tilt of the light-emitting surface can be easily adjusted compared to conventional methods. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the present invention, the inclination of the light-emitting surface of the lighting panel can be easily adjusted while the lighting panel is attached to the wall panel. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0023] 1 and 2, the lighting device 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention is attached to a wall panel 101 that constitutes the wall surface of a room 100, and specifically, is a recessed lighting device that is partially embedded in a mounting through-hole 102 of the wall panel 101 that constitutes the ceiling surface of the room 100. The lighting device 1 is suitable for lining up with other lighting devices 1 on the wall panel 101. As shown in FIG. 3, the lighting device 1 includes a lighting panel 2 and a mounting bracket 3, and is detachable from a mounting through-hole 102 in a wall panel 101 without damaging the panel.

[0024] <Lighting panel 2> The lighting panel 2 is a surface light-emitting panel having a light-emitting area 27 that emits light in a planar manner on a light-emitting surface 25, and is specifically an organic EL panel. The lighting panel 2 includes a panel main body 10 and a raised portion 11, as shown in FIGS.

[0025] (Panel main body 10) As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the panel main body 10 includes a main body panel 20, an edge rib 21, and an annular rib 22. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the main panel 20 is a rectangular plate-like part having a light-emitting surface 25 and a back surface 26. The main panel 20 has a light emitting area 27 on the central side of the light emitting surface 25, as shown in FIG. The light emitting area 27 is a rectangular area that emits light in a planar manner when lit.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the edge ribs 21 are rectangular annular convex stripes that extend along each side of the main body panel 20 and protrude upward from the main body panel 20. The edge rib 21 is a space maintaining member that maintains the space between the front main surface 103 of the wall panel 101 and the back surface 26 of the main body panel 20 when the lighting device 1 is attached to the wall panel 101.

[0027] The edge rib 21 is composed of horizontal ribs 30a and 30b extending in the horizontal direction X and vertical ribs 31a and 31b extending in the vertical direction Y, as shown in FIGS. The vertical ribs 31a, 31b are provided at the center in the vertical direction Y with removal cutouts 32a, 32b cut out from the tip end toward the base end in the protruding direction. The removal notches 32a, 32b are notches that communicate with the gap between the front main surface 103 of the wall panel 101 and the back surface 26 of the main panel 20 when the lighting device 1 is attached to the wall panel 101, and are used to remove the lighting device 1 from the wall panel 101 by inserting an operating tool such as a flathead screwdriver.

[0028] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, when viewed in plan from the back side, the annular rib 22 is a circular convex rib that extends around the protrusion 11 and protrudes upward from the main panel 20. The annular rib 22 is a gap maintaining member that maintains the gap between the front main surface 103 of the wall panel 101 and the back surface 26 of the main body panel 20 when the lighting device 1 is attached to the wall panel 101.

[0029] (Protuberance 11) 5 and 6, the protruding portion 11 includes a protruding main body portion 50 (angle limiting portion), side protruding portions 51a and 51b, angle restricting portions 52 and 53 (angle limiting portions), and a support rib 55.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 7(a), the protruding main body 50 has an oval outer shape when viewed from the rear, and has a shape in which both ends in the radial direction (lateral direction X) of an imaginary perfect circle C1 are cut out. That is, as shown in Figure 7(a), the outer surface of the raised main body portion 50 has curved portions 60a, 60b having arc-shaped curved surfaces corresponding to the arc of the imaginary perfect circle C1, and flat portions 61a, 61b having rectangular flat surfaces corresponding to the chord of the imaginary perfect circle C1.

[0031] The side protrusions 51a, 51b are portions that protrude from the flat surfaces 61a, 61b of the protrusion main body 50 in the radial direction (lateral direction X) of the imaginary perfect circle C1, and are provided with angle limiting grooves 62a, 62b (angle limiting portion, limiting groove). The angle limiting grooves 62a, 62b are grooves that limit the circumferential rotation angle of the lighting panel 2 relative to the mounting bracket 3, and are grooves that have a depth from the end faces of the side protrusions 51a, 51b in the protrusion direction (lateral direction X) toward the center of the protrusion main body 50. The angle limiting grooves 62a, 62b extend along the radial direction of the imaginary perfect circle C1, and in this embodiment, extend in the vertical direction Y. As shown in FIG. 6, the angle limiting grooves 62a and 62b are closed at both ends in the extension direction by limiting wall portions 63a and 63b. The width of the angle limiting grooves 62a, 62b is greater than the maximum diameter of the restricting protrusions 72a, 72b, and is preferably 1.05 to 1.5 times the maximum diameter of the restricting protrusions 72a, 72b.

[0032] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the angle restriction portions 52 and 53 are protruding ridge portions that protrude radially from the flat portions 61a and 61b and extend in the protruding direction (the up-down direction Z). The angle restricting portion 52 is a restricting portion that restricts the rotation of the lighting panel 2 in the forward direction by engaging with the mounting claws 71a and 71b of the mounting bracket 3. The angle restricting portion 53 is a restricting portion that restricts the rotation of the lighting panel 2 in the reverse direction by engaging with the mounting claws 71a and 71b of the mounting bracket 3. The angle restricting portions 52, 53 also function as support portions that support the surrounding portion 70 of the mounting bracket 3 from below.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the support ribs 55 are provided on the curved surface portions 60a and 60b, and are support portions that support the surrounding portion 70 of the mounting bracket 3 from below. As shown in FIG. 7, the support ribs 55 are convex ridges that protrude from the curved surface portions 60a and 60b in the radial direction of the imaginary perfect circle C1 and extend in the protruding direction (vertical direction Z). Two support ribs 55 are provided on each of the curved surface portions 60a and 60b, and the support ribs 55 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction.

[0034] <Mounting bracket 3> As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7(b), the mounting bracket 3 includes a surrounding portion 70 (angle limiting portion), mounting claws 71a, 71b, and restricting protrusions 72a, 72b (restricting portion, angle limiting portion, protrusion).

[0035] (Enclosing part 70) The surrounding portion 70 is a cylindrical portion that surrounds the periphery of the raised portion 11 of the lighting panel 2, and is a plate-like body that is processed into a shape that fits the outer peripheral surface of the raised portion 11. As shown in FIG. 7(b), the surrounding portion 70 has an oval inner circumferential surface when viewed from the rear, and has a shape in which both ends in the radial direction (lateral direction X) of an imaginary perfect circle C2 are cut out. That is, the surrounding portion 70 has curved portions 80a, 80b having arc-shaped curved surfaces corresponding to the arc of the imaginary perfect circle C2, and flat portions 81a, 81b having rectangular flat surfaces corresponding to the chords, and an surrounding space 82 is formed surrounded by the curved portions 80a, 80b and the flat portions 81a, 81b. The opening area of ​​the surrounding portion 70 when viewed from the bottom side is larger than the outer surface area of ​​the protruding main body portion 50, so that the protruding main body portion 50 can be inserted from below. The surrounding portion 70 has a maximum length longer than the maximum length of the protruding portion 11 and a minimum length shorter than the minimum length of the protruding portion 11.

[0036] (Mounting claws 71a, 71b) The mounting claws 71a and 71b are leaf springs that are elastically deformable and engage with the rear main surface 105 of the wall panel 101 and / or the inner wall surface of the mounting through hole 102 of the wall panel 101 by their restoring force. The mounting claws 71a and 71b are connected to the flat surfaces 81a and 81b of the surrounding portion 70, and are plate-like portions that extend tongue-like from the flat surfaces 81a and 81b. As shown in FIG. 5, the mounting claws 71a and 71b each include an extending portion 85 and a folded portion 86. As shown in FIG. The extension portion 85 is a portion that extends downward from the flat portions 81a and 81b of the surrounding portion . The folded portion 86 is a portion folded back from the tip end (lower end) of the extending portion 85 in the extending direction.

[0037] (Regulating protrusions 72a, 72b) The regulating protrusions 72a, 72b are regulating parts that regulate the circumferential movement of the lighting panel 2 and the movement of the lighting panel 2 in the direction away from each other in the vertical direction Z, and are protrusions that protrude from the extension part 85 toward the inside in the radial direction (horizontal direction X) of the imaginary circle C2 shown in Figure 7(b). The restricting protrusions 72a and 72b of this embodiment are formed by the shanks of fastening elements such as screws, and are non-destructively attachable to and detachable from the flat surfaces 61a and 61b. That is, the mounting bracket 3 can be removed from the lighting panel 2 by removing the fastening elements such as screws that form the restricting protrusions 72a and 72b.

[0038] <Wall Panel 101> The wall panel 101 is a decorative panel that forms the ceiling surface of the room 100, and is a plate-like panel having a front main surface 103 and a back main surface 105 as both main surfaces, as shown in FIG. The wall panel 101 has a mounting through hole 102 penetrating through the thickness direction. The mounting through-hole 102 is an insertion hole into which a part of the lighting device 1 can be inserted, and has a circular opening. The diameter of the mounting through-hole 102 is larger than the maximum diameter of the surrounding portion 70 .

[0039] Next, the positional relationship between the various components of the lighting device 1 of this embodiment will be described.

[0040] 8 , in the lighting device 1, the raised portion 11 of the lighting panel 2 is inserted into the enclosed space 82 of the mounting bracket 3, and a gap is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the raised portion 11 of the lighting panel 2 and the inner wall portion of the enclosed portion 70 of the mounting bracket 3. In other words, the raised portion 11 of the lighting panel 2 is not tightly fitted into the enclosed portion 70 of the mounting bracket 3, but fits loosely into the enclosed portion 70 of the mounting bracket 3. As shown in FIG. 9, the lighting panel 2 is rotatable in the circumferential direction with respect to the mounting bracket 3, with the protruding portion 11 serving as the axis of rotation. The rotatable angle of the lighting panel 2 is preferably within 10 degrees.

[0041] The restricting protrusions 72a, 72b are inserted into the angle limiting grooves 62a, 62b of the lighting panel 2. That is, the restricting walls 63a, 63b of the angle limiting grooves 62a, 62b restrict the circumferential rotation of the lighting panel 2 to within the range in the extension direction of the angle limiting grooves 62a, 62b, and restrict the movement of the lighting panel 2 in the up-down direction Z to within the range in the width direction of the angle limiting grooves 62a, 62b.

[0042] 4, the lighting panel 2 has the extensions 85, 85 of the mounting claws 71a, 71b arranged between the angle restriction portions 52, 53 of the raised portion 11. That is, the angle restriction portion 52 of the raised portion 11 abuts against the extensions 85, 85 of the mounting claws 71a, 71b, thereby restricting the lighting panel 2 from rotating in the forward direction, and the angle restriction portion 52 of the raised portion 11 abuts against the extensions 85, 85 of the mounting claws 71a, 71b, thereby restricting the lighting panel 2 from rotating in the reverse direction. The lighting panel 2 supports the surrounding portion 70 by the upper ends of the angle restricting portions 52 and 53 and the upper ends of the support ribs 55 .

[0043] Next, the positional relationship of each part when the lighting device 1 of this embodiment is attached to the wall panel 101 will be described.

[0044] As shown in Figure 8, in the lighting device 1, the raised portion 11 of the lighting panel 2 and the surrounding portion 70 of the mounting bracket 3 are inserted into the mounting through-hole 102 of the wall panel 101 from the front main surface 103 toward the back main surface 105, and the folded portions 86 of the mounting claws 71a and 71b are bent toward the extension portion 85, and their restoring force presses against the inner wall surface of the mounting through-hole 102. The lighting panel 2 has an edge rib 21 and an annular rib 22 abutting against the front main surface 103 of the wall panel 101, and a gap is formed between the front main surface 103 of the wall panel 101 and the back surface 26 of the main panel 20. The removal notches 32a, 32b are positioned opposite the folded portions 86 of the mounting claws 71a, 71b, and by checking the positions of the removal notches 32a, 32b, it is possible to check the current position of the mounting bracket 3 within the mounting through-hole 102.

[0045] According to the lighting device 1 of the first embodiment, the lighting panel 2, when attached to the wall panel 101, can rotate in the circumferential direction with respect to the mounting bracket 3, with the protruding portion 11 serving as the rotation axis. This makes it possible to easily adjust the tilt of the light-emitting surface 25 of the lighting panel 2 even after the lighting panel 2 is attached to the wall panel 101. For example, if the light-emitting surface 25 is tilted as shown in FIG. 9(a), the light-emitting surface 25 can be brought to the normal position as shown in FIG. 9(b) by rotating the lighting panel 2 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 9(a). This eliminates the need for precise positioning, making it easier to adjust the tilt of the light-emitting surface 25 than in the past.

[0046] According to the lighting device 1 of the first embodiment, the protruding portion 11 is loosely fitted into the surrounding portion 70, and is fitted into the surrounding portion 70 with some play, so that the lighting panel 2 can be easily rotated circumferentially relative to the mounting bracket 3.

[0047] According to the lighting device 1 of the first embodiment, the angle of rotation of the lighting panel 2 is limited by the angle regulating portions 52, 53 of the raised portion 11 abutting against the extension portions 85, 85 of the mounting claws 71a, 71b of the mounting bracket 3, so the lighting panel 2 does not rotate too much relative to the mounting bracket 3, making angle adjustment easy and aligning it easily when placed next to other lighting devices 1 as shown in Figure 1.

[0048] According to the lighting device 1 of the first embodiment, the rotation angle of the lighting panel 2 is within 10 degrees, and it can be rotated slightly, so that it is easier to fine-tune the inclination of the light-emitting surface 25 and it is easy to align it when placed next to other lighting devices 1 as shown in Figure 1.

[0049] According to the lighting device 1 of the first embodiment, the raised portion 11 of the lighting panel 2 has angle-limiting grooves 62a, 62b provided on the side surface thereof into which the regulating protrusions 72a, 72b of the mounting bracket 3 are inserted, and the regulating protrusions 72a, 72b abut against the regulating wall portions 63a, 63b of the angle-limiting grooves 62a, 62b, thereby restricting the movement of the angle-limiting grooves 62a, 62b of the lighting panel 2 in the extension direction, making fine adjustments easy.

[0050] According to the lighting device 1 of the first embodiment, the maximum length of the raised portion 11 when viewed in a plane is shorter than the maximum length of the surrounding portion 70 and longer than the minimum length of the surrounding portion 70, so that the lighting panel 2 does not rotate excessively due to the difference in shape between the raised portion 11 and the surrounding portion 70, making fine adjustments easy.

[0051] In the above-described embodiment, the lighting panel 2 has one light-emitting region 27 on the light-emitting surface 25, but the present invention is not limited to this. The lighting panel 2 may have multiple light-emitting regions 27 on the light-emitting surface 25. For example, as shown in Fig. 10, when the lighting panel 2 has four light-emitting regions 27 on the light-emitting surface 25, the light-emitting regions 27 are preferably arranged in a grid pattern.

[0052] In the above-described embodiment, the main panel 20 of the lighting panel 2 is a rectangular plate-like body, but the present invention is not limited to this. The main panel 20 of the lighting panel 2 may have other shapes. For example, it may be a polygonal shape such as a triangular shape, a pentagonal shape, or a hexagonal shape, or it may be a shape with a different aspect ratio such as an elliptical shape.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the light-emitting region 27 of the lighting panel 2 has a shape similar to that of the main panel 20, but the present invention is not limited to this. The light-emitting region 27 of the lighting panel 2 may have a shape different from that of the main panel 20.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the lighting device 1 is fixed by the folded portions 86 of the mounting claws 71a, 71b of the mounting bracket 3 pressing against the inner wall surface of the mounting through-hole 102 of the wall panel 101 with their elastic restoring force, but the present invention is not limited to this. The lighting device 1 may also be fixed by the folded portions 86 of the mounting claws 71a, 71b of the mounting bracket 3 pressing against the back main surface 105 of the wall panel 101 with their elastic restoring force.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the wall panel 101 constitutes the ceiling of the room 100, but the present invention is not limited to this. The wall panel 101 may constitute the wall or floor of the room 100. Furthermore, the wall panel 101 may constitute a structure such as a desk.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the lighting device 1 is attached to the wall panel 101 by engaging the mounting claws 71a, 71 with the wall panel 101, but the present invention is not limited to this. The lighting device 1 may be attached to the wall panel 101 by attaching the mounting bracket 3 to the wall panel 101 using another method.

[0057] In the above-described embodiment, an organic EL panel is used as the lighting panel 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. Other types of planar light-emitting panels may be used as the lighting panel 2. For example, a planar light-emitting panel in which LEDs are arranged in a planar manner may be used as the lighting panel 2.

[0058] In the above-described embodiments, each component can be freely substituted or added between the respective embodiments as long as it falls within the technical scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
