[0012] The lighting device 1 includes a light source unit 10, an arm 20 attached to a mounting portion, and a connection member 30 connecting the light source unit 10 and the arm 20. In the lighting device 1, the light source unit 10 is held by the connection member 30 on the arm 200 so as to be rotatable in the depth direction Y.
[0013] The light source unit 10 includes a light emitting portion 11 , a cover portion 12 , a heat sink portion 13 , a connecting portion 14 , a top plate portion 15 , a power supply unit 16 , and a fin holding portion 17 .
[0014] The light emitting section 11 includes a plurality of light emitting elements 111 and a substrate 112 on which the plurality of light emitting elements 111 are mounted. The substrate 112 is a flat electronic substrate. A plurality of light emitting elements 11 are mounted on a mounting surface 1121, which is one surface of the mounting substrate 112. The substrate 112 is also provided with wiring conductors (not shown) that electrically connect the electrodes of the plurality of light emitting elements 111. The substrate 112 is also provided with a substrate terminal 113 for power supply at one end thereof. A secondary electric wire portion 1612 is connected to the substrate terminal 113 to receive power supply from the power supply device 16. The substrate terminal 113 is disposed on the front direction Y1 side of the mounting substrate 112 in FIG. 2.
[0015] The cover portion 12 is formed of a transparent material and serves to protect the light emitting portion 11. The cover portion 12 is attached to the base portion 13 so as to cover the light emitting portion 11. The cover part 12 has a box-shaped cover main part 121 that is open on the upward direction Z1 side, and a cover flange part 122 that protrudes in the horizontal direction XY from the periphery of the opening of the cover main part 121. A cover through hole 123 for fixing the cover part 12 to the base part 13 is formed in the cover flange part 12b. The cover portion 12 may be provided with a lens (not shown) on the surface of the cover main portion 121 facing the light emitting portion 110, for controlling the light from the light emitting element 111 to a predetermined light distribution.
[0016] The heat sink section 13 is attached to the light emitting section 11. The heat sink section 13 transfers heat generated when the light emitting section 11 emits light, and dissipates the transferred heat. The heat sink portion 13 has a base portion 131 and a fin portion 132. The heat sink portion 13 is formed by processing the base portion 131 and the fin portion 132 from a plate-shaped metal member. The metal member is, for example, aluminum. By using aluminum, the weight can be reduced and heat dissipation can be improved.
[0017] The base portion 131 has a base main portion 1311 and a base flange portion 1312. The base portion 131 is formed by bending, by press working or the like, a plate material made of aluminum or other material that has good heat dissipation properties and is lighter than iron or other materials.
[0018] The light emitting unit 110 is attached to the base main portion 1311. The base main portion 1311 is a plate-like metal member formed into a rectangular shape. One plate-like surface of the base main part 1311 is a light source attachment part 1311a that holds the light emitting part 11. The light source attachment part 1311a is attached so that the surface opposite to the mounting surface 1121 of the mounting board 112 abuts against the light source attachment part 1311a. The other plate-like surface of the base main part 1311, which is the surface opposite to the light source attachment part 1311a of the base main part 1311, is a fin attachment part 1311b to which the fin part 132 is attached. The base main part 1311 is provided with a base electric wire insertion part 1311c. The base electric wire insertion part 1311c is an opening penetrating the base main part 1311 in the up-down direction Z, and the secondary electric wire part 1612 is inserted through the base electric wire insertion part 1311c. When the light emitting part 11 is arranged on the base main part 131, the base electric wire insertion part 1311c is provided adjacent to an end part of the light emitting part 11 on the side where the board terminal 113 is arranged.
[0019] The base flange 1312 is a portion that protrudes downward in the Z2 direction from each side of the base main part 1311. The base flange 1312 is provided perpendicular to the base main part 1311 and reinforces the rigidity of the base main part 1311. The base flange portion 1312 has a flange main body portion 1312a and a fitting portion 1312b. Two flange main bodies 1312a are disposed with a gap therebetween on one side of the base main portion 1311. The fitting portion 1312b is a portion between the two flange main bodies 1312a, and a part of the connecting portion 14 is fitted into the fitting portion 1312b. Furthermore, since the base flange portion 1312 protrudes downward in the Z2 direction, accumulation of dust or water on the base main portion 131 can be suppressed compared to when the base flange portion 1312 protrudes upward in the Z1 direction.
[0020] The fin section 132 is arranged in a spiral shape on the fin attachment section 1311b of the base section 131, centered on the base central section 1310 which is the center of the fin attachment section 1311b, and has a fin fixing section 1321, a first heat dissipation fin 1322, and a second heat dissipation fin 1323. The first heat dissipation fin 1322 and the second heat dissipation fin 1323 are formed in a plate shape, and protrude in the upward direction Z1 so as to be perpendicular to the base main section 1311. The first heat dissipation fin 1322 and the second heat dissipation fin 1323 will be collectively referred to as heat dissipation fins 1320. The fin portion 132 is disposed circumferentially about the base central portion 1310, and is disposed so as to intersect with straight lines extending in radial directions from the base central portion 1310. The fin portion 132 is not disposed on the base central portion 1310 side of the fin attachment portion 1311b, and a space where the fin portion 132 is not disposed is provided on the upward direction Z2 side of the base central portion 1310 side. The multiple fin portions 132 are arranged with a gap between adjacent fin portions 132. The multiple fin portions 132 are arranged with a gap between adjacent fin portions 132 in the horizontal direction XY such that the fin portions 132 facing each other across the radial center and the plate-like surfaces of the fin portions 132 face each other. In describing the shape of the fin portions 132, the side opposite the base center portion 1310 will be described as the outer periphery.
[0021] The fin fixing portion 1321 is formed in a trapezoidal shape, and is fixed to the fin attachment portion 1311b by fixing means such as screws or crimping.
[0022] The first heat dissipation fin 1322 and the second heat dissipation fin 1323 are provided so as to protrude from opposing sides of the fin fixing portion 1321 in the upward direction Z1. The first heat dissipation fin 1322 and the second fin 1323 are formed in the horizontal direction XY such that the length L2 of the second heat dissipation fin 1323 is shorter than the length L1 of the first heat dissipation fin 1322. By forming the length L2 of the second heat dissipation fin 1323 shorter than the length L1 of the first heat dissipation fin 1322, when the fin portion 132 is disposed on the base portion 131, the interval between adjacent fin portions in the circumferential direction on the side of the base center portion 1310 can be made wider. Therefore, an air flow path can be secured on the side of the base center portion 1310.
[0023] In the fin section 132, a fin protrusion 1324 is provided on a first heat dissipation fin 1322. In addition, a fin recess 1325 is provided on the first heat dissipation fin 1322 and the second heat dissipation fin 1323. The fin protrusion 1324 is inserted into a part of the top plate 15 and is provided so as to protrude in the upward direction Z1 from a side portion 1323a on the upward direction Z2 side of the first heat dissipation fin 1322. The fin protrusions 1323 are provided so as to be arranged circumferentially about the base central portion 1310 when the multiple fins 132 are arranged on the base 131. The fin recesses 1325 are provided so as to be recessed downward in the Z2 direction from each of the upward Z2 side portion 1322a of the first heat dissipation fin 1322 and the upward Z2 side portion 1323a of the second heat dissipation fin 1323. The fin recesses 1324 are provided so as to be arranged circumferentially about the base central portion 1310 when the multiple fin portions 132 are disposed on the base portion 131.
[0024] The fin portion 132 is formed such that the heat dissipation fins 1320 are longer than the fin fixing portion 1321 in the horizontal direction XY, and are formed long so as to protrude in a direction from the base center portion 1310 toward the base flange portion 1312. Further, a portion of the heat dissipation fin 1320 that protrudes from the fin fixing portion 1321 in the horizontal direction XY is provided with a fin cutout portion 1326 at the end portion on the downward direction Z2 side so that the fin holder 17 can be hooked. Since the heat dissipating fin 1320 is provided with the fin cutout portion 1320a, when the heat dissipating fin 1320 is attached to the base portion 131, a gap can be provided between the fin attachment portion 1311b and the fin holder 17 to be hooked thereon.
[0025] The connecting portions 14 connect the heat sink portion 13 and the top plate portion 15, and a total of four connecting portions 14 are disposed so as to face each other in both the width direction X and the depth direction Y of the light source unit 10. The connecting portions 14 each have a pillar portion 141, a pillar side portion 142, a base fixing portion 143, a cover holding portion 144, and a top plate fixing portion 145. Furthermore, the connecting portion 14 is formed so that the length from the base fixing portion 143 to the top plate fixing portion 145 in the vertical direction Z is the same as the length by which the heat dissipation fin 1320 protrudes from the fin attachment portion 1311b. The length of the connecting portion 14 in the vertical direction Z is formed so that the side portion of the heat dissipation fin 1320 on the upward direction Z1 side abuts against the top plate portion 15 when the top plate portion 15 is attached to the connecting portion 14. The connecting portion 14 may be made of a metal material such as iron or stainless steel that has a higher strength than the base portion 12. Also, by using a material with a high thermal conductivity such as aluminum, it is possible to improve the heat dissipation capacity.
[0026] The pillar portion 141 has a rectangular plate shape and is provided so as to protrude upward in the Z1 direction from the base main portion 131. The pillar section 141 has a pillar connection section 1411 to which the connection member 30 is connected. The pillar connection section 1411 is provided so as to protrude from the right direction X1 side, which is the outside of the pillar main section 141, toward the left direction 2, which is the inside, in Fig. 8, and has an opening penetrating in the width direction X. A spiral groove is formed on the inner surface of the opening of the pillar connection section 1411, and the connection member 30 is screwed into and attached.
[0027] The pillar side parts 142 are formed on both sides of the pillar main part 141 in the depth direction Y, and protrude from the outside, which is the right direction X1 side in FIG. 8, to the inside, which is the left direction X2 side.
[0028] The base fixing part 143 is formed on a side edge of the column part 141 on the downward direction Z2 side. The base fixing part 143 protrudes from the outside, which is the right direction X1 side, to the inside, which is the left direction X2, in Fig. 8, in the same manner as the column side part 142. The base fixing part 143 is provided with a connecting part fixing part 1431 that penetrates in the up-down direction Z. The connecting part fixing part 1431 has an inner surface formed with a spiral groove, and a screw-shaped cover fixing member 40 is inserted into the cover through-hole 123 and the base through-hole 123 from the downward direction Z1 and screwed into them, connecting the cover part 12, the base part 13, and the connecting part 14 to be integrated.
[0029] The cover holding portion 144 is provided from the downward Z2 side edge of the column main portion 141 so as to protrude further in the downward Z2 direction than the base fixing portion 143. The cover holding portion 144 has a holding vertical portion 1441 and a holding horizontal portion 1442. The holding vertical portion 1441 protrudes downward in the Z2 direction beyond the base fixing portion 143 and is fitted into the fitting portion 1322. The holding horizontal portion 1442 protrudes from the end of the holding vertical portion 1441 on the downward direction Z2 side from the outer side, which is the right direction X1 side, to the inner side, which is the left direction X2 in Fig. 8. The holding vertical portion 1442 is disposed on the downward direction Z2 side of the cover flange portion 122 in a state in which the cover portion 12 and the connecting portion 14 are attached to the base portion 13, and prevents the cover portion 12 from falling off.
[0030] The tabletop mounting portion 145 is formed on the side edge of the column portion 141 on the upward Z1 side. The tabletop mounting portion 145 protrudes from the outside, which is the right direction X1 side, to the inside, which is the left direction X2, in Fig. 8, in the same manner as the column side portion 142 and the base fixing portion 143. The tabletop mounting portion 145 is provided with a tabletop fixing portion 1451 that penetrates in the up-down direction Z. The tabletop fixing portion 1451 has a spiral groove formed on its inner surface, and a screw-shaped tabletop fixing member 50 is screwed into it from the upward Z1 direction, connecting the tabletop portion 15 to the connecting portion 14.
[0031] Top plate portion 15 is provided to prevent dust and the like from accumulating on heat sink portion 13, and has top plate main portion 151 and top plate connecting portion 152. Top plate portion 15 is formed by pressing a plate material such as aluminum that has good heat dissipation properties and is lighter than iron and the like.
[0032] The table top main portion 151 is formed in a disk shape and is provided so as to cover the side edge on the upward direction Z1 side of the fin portion 132.

[0036] The tabletop connecting parts 152 are parts for fixing the tabletop part 15 to the connecting parts 14, and are provided so as to protrude in the horizontal direction XY from the side surface of the tabletop main part 151. The tabletop connecting parts 152 protrude in pairs in the width direction X and the depth direction Y according to the connecting parts 14. The tabletop connecting parts 152 are provided with tabletop through holes 1521 provided so as to penetrate in the up-down direction Z. In addition, the tabletop connecting part 152 in the rear direction Y2 of the four tabletop connecting parts 152 is provided with a tabletop cutout part 1522 that is cut out in an elongated shape from a side part on the rear direction Y2 side toward the tabletop center part 150.
[0037] The top plate slit portion 1514 is provided adjacent to the top plate claw portion 1512, and has an opening shape that penetrates the top plate main portion 151 in the up-down direction Z.

[0045] The fin pressing portion 172 is adapted to press and hold two adjacent fin portions 13 from the upward direction Z1, and has two pressing horizontal portions 1721 and three pressing vertical portions 1722. The pressing horizontal portion 1721 is arranged to cover the upper Z1 side ends of the two heat dissipation fins 1320, and is arranged so that its longitudinal length in the horizontal direction XY is the length between the two heat dissipation fins 1320. The pressing vertical portion 1722 is provided so as to protrude downward in the Z2 direction from the end portion of the pressing horizontal portion 1721, and is provided so as to abut against the plate surface of the heat dissipation fin 1320. The fin holding portion 17 forms a U-shape by the fin holding portion 172 and a part of the fin hooking portion 171, holds the fin portion 13 from the upward Z1 side, connects adjacent heat dissipation fins 1320 on the upward Z1 side, and structurally connects adjacent heat dissipation fins 1320 on the upward Z1 side. Note that in this case, a part of the fin hooking portion 171 plays the same role as the holding vertical portion 1722 and may be called the holding vertical portion 1722.
[0046] The arm 20 is a member for fixing the lighting device 1 to the mounting portion, and has an arm main part 21 that abuts against the mounting portion, and an arm support part 22 that holds the light source unit 10. The arm 20 is formed integrally with the arm main part 21 and the arm support part 22 by processing a plate-shaped metal member, and is formed of a strong metal member such as iron or stainless steel.
[0047] The arm main portion 21 is formed in a rectangular shape that is long in the width direction X, and is provided with a pair of main portion through holes 211 into which suspension bolts, which are fixing fittings, are inserted. The main portion through hole 211 is provided at a position facing the base portion 13 when the arm 20 is attached to the light source unit. The main part through hole 211 has a first main part through hole 2111 and a second main part through hole 2112. The first arm main part through hole 2111 is formed on the rightward direction X1 side from the center in the width direction X of the arm main part 21. The first main part through hole 2111 has a shape combining an elongated hole extending in the width direction X and a circular hole. The second arm main through hole 2112 is formed on the left direction X2 side of the center in the depth direction X of the arm base 21. The second main through hole 2112 is an elongated hole extending in the depth direction Y. The lighting device 1 is fixed to the mounting portion by inserting a suspension bolt into the main part through hole 211 and sandwiching the arm main part 21 between the mounting portion and a nut that screws onto the suspension bolt. Note that although the first main part through hole 2111 and the second main part through hole 2112 have been described as having different shapes, they may have the same shape.
[0048] The arm support portions 22 are formed in a pair so as to protrude downward in the Z2 from both ends in the width direction X of the arm main portion 21. The arm support portion 22 has an arm connection portion 223 formed in a disk shape on the end side in the downward direction Z2. The arm connection portion 221 is provided with an arm insertion hole 2211 having a round hole shape. The arm connection part 221 is a portion that is connected to the coupling part 14 of the light source unit 10 by the connection member 30. The arm connection part 221 abuts and connects to the pillar main part 141 of the coupling part 14 by fastening the connection member 30 to the pillar connection part 1411 in a state where the connection member 30 is inserted into the arm insertion hole 2211.
[0049] The arm 20 holds the light source unit 10 by sandwiching it in the width direction X with the arm support portion 22. The arm 20 holds the light source unit 20 so as not to rotate by fastening the connection member 30 to the connection portion 1411 so that the arm connection portion 221 presses the column main portion 1411 of the first coupling portion 1401. Then, the arm 20 holds the light source unit 20 so as to be able to rotate in the depth direction Y by loosening the fastening of the connection portion 1411 of the connection member 30.
[0050] The connecting member 30 is in the shape of a bolt and includes a cylindrical threaded portion 31 and a head portion 32 provided on one end side of the threaded portion 31 . The screw portion 31 is cylindrical and has a threaded outer periphery, and is fastened to the connecting portion 1413 . The head 32 has a hexagonal column shape formed with a diameter larger than that of the screw-in portion 31. When the screw-in portion 31 is tightened into the connection portion 1413, the head 32 presses the arm connection portion 223 against the column main portion 1411 with the surface on the screw-in portion 32 side. The head 32 may be a polygonal column shape instead of a hexagonal shape, and may be provided with a recess into which a tool such as a screwdriver can be inserted. Also, the head portion 32 of the connecting member 30 may be configured to press against the column main portion 144 via a washer or the like.
[0051] This concludes the description of the configuration of each part of lighting device 1. Next, the effect of fin protection portion 17 in suppressing damage to fin portion 132 will be described with reference to FIGS. Fig. 15 is a perspective view showing a part of the heat sink unit 13 in which the fin holder 17 is attached to the fin portion 132. Fig. 16 is a perspective view of the heat sink unit 13 shown in Fig. 15 as viewed from the direction indicated by the arrow B.
[0052] First, the state in which the fin holder 17 is attached to the fin portion 132 will be described. The fin holding part 17 is attached to the fin part 132 such that the hook protrusion 1711 of the fin hook part 171 is hooked onto the downward Z2 side of the heat dissipation fin 1320 via the fin cutout part 1326 of the heat dissipation fin 1320. The fin pressing part 172 is disposed such that the pressing horizontal part 1721 covers the fin recess 1325 from the upward Z1 side and the pressing vertical part 1722 and a part of the fin hook part 171 sandwich the first heat dissipation fin 1322 and the second heat dissipation fin 1323 from the outside in the horizontal direction XY. By attaching the fin holding portion 17 to the fin portion 13, the upward Z1 sides of the first heat dissipating fin 1322 and the second heat dissipating fin 1323 are structurally connected via the pressing horizontal portion 1721.
[0053] Next, the effect of the fin holder 17 in preventing damage to the fin portion 132 will be described. The illumination device 1 may vibrate unintentionally due to an external load being applied to the illumination device 1 or air flowing between the plurality of heat dissipation fins 1320. In this case, the heat dissipation fin 1320 may vibrate so that the upward Z1 side rotates around the downward Z2 side connected to the fin fixing part 1321 as an axis. This vibration may cause a load to be applied to the downward Z2 side, which is the axis of vibration, of the heat dissipation fin 1320, which may be damaged. By attaching the fin holding portion 17, the upward Z1 sides of the first heat dissipating fin 1322 and the second heat dissipating fin 1323 are structurally connected via the pressing horizontal portion 1721. Therefore, the first heat dissipation fin 1322 and the second heat dissipation fin 1323 support each other against the load, and by preventing the end side of the heat dissipation fin 1320 on the upward Z1 side from moving freely, vibration of the heat dissipation fin 1320 can be suppressed, and damage to the heat dissipation fin 1320 can be prevented.
[0054] In the lighting device 1 of the present disclosure, the lighting device 1 is provided with a fin holding portion 17 arranged to cover the upward Z1 side ends of two adjacent heat dissipation fins 1320 from the upward Z1 side, and this fin holding portion 17 is attached to the fin portion 132 so as to connect the upward Z1 side ends of the two heat dissipation fins 1320, so that the two heat dissipation fins 1320 are structurally connected on the upward Z1 side. This prevents the end of the heat dissipating fin 1320 on the upward Z1 side from moving freely, thereby preventing the heat dissipating fin 1320 from being damaged.
[0055] The lighting device 1 of the present disclosure has a fin hook portion 171 by which the fin holding portion 17 is hooked from the fin recess 1325 to the fin cutout portion 1326 of the heat dissipation fin 1320, and this fin hook portion 171 has a hook extension portion 1712 that is bent so that it can expand and contract along the length from the fin recess 1325 to the fin cutout portion 1326. Therefore, even if the dimensions of fin portion 132 vary during manufacturing, fin hook portion 171 can be hooked onto heat dissipation fin 1320 by deformation of hook extension / contraction portion 1712, and fin holder 17 can be attached to fin portion 13.
[0056] In the lighting device 1 of the present disclosure, the fin holding portion 17 is housed in the fin recessed portion 1325 of the heat dissipation fin 1320 , and is thereby attached to the heat sink portion 13 without interfering with the top plate portion 15 .
[0057] In this embodiment, a configuration in which one fin holding portion 17 covers two fin portions 132 has been described, but a configuration in which one fin holding portion 17 covers one fin portion 132 may also be used, or a configuration in which one fin holding portion 17 covers three or more fin portions 132.
[0058] In this disclosure, the heat sink portion 13 has been described as having the fin portions 132 arranged in a spiral shape relative to the base central portion 1310, but the fin portions 132 may be arranged radially relative to the base central portion 1310, or may be arranged side by side in the width direction X and the depth direction Y.
[0059] While the lighting device has been described above as an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned embodiment is merely an example of a lighting device for embodying the technical ideas of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these. The present invention is equally applicable to other embodiments, such as those in which the respective embodiments and examples are modified as appropriate, or combinations of these, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
