L E D式蛍光灯形照明装置 技術分野 L E D type fluorescent lamp lighting equipment
本発明は、 既存の蛍光灯照明装置にそのまま装着、 使用可能な L E D式蛍 光灯形照明装置に関するものである。 背景技術  The present invention relates to an LED type fluorescent lamp illuminator that can be mounted and used as it is in an existing fluorescent lamp illuminator. Background art
従来の蛍光灯照明装置は、 ガラス管の両端部分よりガラス管内部に封入さ れたアルゴンガスと水銀蒸気の混合気体中に高圧放電させることで、 ガス気 体から発生した紫外線がガラス管内面に塗布された蛍光材に照射されて蛍光 材が白色に発光するという原理を利用したものである。 そのために蛍光灯を 始動させるためのグロースターターによる予熱始動式安定器ゃィンバーター 方式安定器などが必需である。 昨今では照明装置本体にこのようなィンバー ター、 蛍光灯がすべて一体化された構造ものが実現化されている。 また、 蛍 光灯は電力を光に変換する効率 ( 1 m /W) もハロゲン球や白熱球が 3 0 % 前後に対して蛍光灯は 5 0〜6 0 %と高い性能を有し。 棒状の白色光源とし ては自然な白色光度が均一に出せるなどの特徴から、 幅広く利用普及してい る。  Conventional fluorescent lamp lighting devices discharge high-pressure into a mixed gas of argon gas and mercury vapor sealed inside the glass tube from both end portions of the glass tube, so that ultraviolet rays generated from the gas gas are applied to the inner surface of the glass tube. This is based on the principle that the fluorescent material emits white light when irradiated to the applied fluorescent material. For this purpose, a preheat starting ballast with a glow starter for starting a fluorescent lamp, a gimberter type ballast, etc. are indispensable. In recent years, a structure has been realized in which such an inverter and fluorescent lamp are integrated into the lighting device itself. In addition, fluorescent lamps have a high efficiency (1 m / W) for converting electric power into light, with halogen bulbs and incandescent bulbs around 30%, and fluorescent lamps have a high performance of 50-60%. As a rod-shaped white light source, it is widely used because of its features such as the ability to produce a natural white light intensity uniformly.
しかし蛍光灯の最大の欠点としては寿命末期によるちらつきや、 不点灯で ある。 ハロゲン球や白熱電球などに比べれば長寿命であるものの、 一般的に 700 0〜 1万時間程度で寿命となりちらつきゃ不点灯といった現象が現れ る。 However, the biggest drawbacks of fluorescent lamps are flickering due to end of life and non-lighting. Although it has a longer life than halogen bulbs and incandescent bulbs, If it reaches 700 to 10,000 hours, it will reach the end of its life and flickering will occur.
そこで最近では特開 200 1 - 3 5 1 40 2号公報にあるように従来の蛍 光灯にかわって白色 L EDを実装した L ED式の蛍光灯形照明装置も発明さ れている。 この発明によると、 従来の蛍光灯の安定器の交流出力を整流する などの手段によって直流を生成し、 白色 LEDを点灯させようとするもので ある。 このように L EDが機器へ使用される背景には、 直流電源で、 それも 低い電圧で容易に点灯制御が可能な上に、 長期信頼性が高いためである。 経 年変化としては輝度が劣化するものの、 球切れなどの不点灯などにはなりに くいといった長期信頼性に優れている。 このような L EDの性質を活かした 蛍光灯の次世代型の光源として注目されてきている。  Therefore, recently, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 200 1-35 1402, a LED type fluorescent lamp illumination device in which white LED is mounted instead of a conventional fluorescent lamp has been invented. According to the present invention, the white LED is lit by generating direct current by means such as rectifying the alternating current output of a conventional fluorescent lamp ballast. The background to the use of LEDs in equipment in this way is the direct current power supply, which can be easily controlled at low voltage and has long-term reliability. Although the luminance deteriorates over time, it is excellent in long-term reliability, such as being difficult to turn off such as a broken ball. It has been attracting attention as a next-generation light source for fluorescent lamps that takes advantage of the properties of LED.
また、 既設の蛍光灯器具に接続できる機構を有し複数の L EDを点灯する 投光器に関する先行技術 (実開平 6— 54 1 03号公報) 、 既設の電球用ソ ケッ 卜や蛍光灯用ソケッ 卜に装着可能な L E D照明装置に関する先行技術 (特開 200 1— 5 2 504号公報) が存在する。  In addition, a prior art on a projector that has a mechanism that can be connected to an existing fluorescent lamp fixture and lights a plurality of LEDs (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-54 103), an existing bulb socket and a fluorescent socket. There is a prior art (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 200 1-5 2 504) relating to an LED lighting device that can be mounted on a device.
一方、 現行蛍光灯と構造的に互換性のある L ED式蛍光灯形照明装置につ いては、 L E D蛍光灯の統一された規格がないため各自仕様を決定する必要 があり、 新たに開発した商品の信頼性確保及び品質安定のためには、 構造面 における品質対策を十分に行うことが不可欠となる。 発明の開示  On the other hand, for LED fluorescent lamps that are structurally compatible with the current fluorescent lamps, there is no unified standard for LED fluorescent lamps. In order to ensure the reliability and quality of products, it is essential to take sufficient quality measures in terms of structure. Disclosure of the invention
従来の蛍光灯の課題のひとつは、 蛍光灯の放電用の電極に寿命がくると、 ちらつきなどの症状が現れ、 最終的には不点灯にいたる。 特に公共の場所な どの蛍光灯の不具合は、 事故などを誘発する原因となることから、 蛍光灯の 交換に大きなメンテナンスコス トをかけているのが現状である。 One of the challenges of conventional fluorescent lamps is that when the life of the discharge electrodes of fluorescent lamps is reached, Symptoms such as flickering appear, eventually leading to no lighting. Defective fluorescent lamps, especially in public places, can cause accidents and so on, so there is a large maintenance cost for replacing fluorescent lamps.
2つの目の課題は、 蛍光灯の原理上の問題点が挙げられる。 蛍光灯は管の 内部に封入されたガスに高圧を印加して、 紫外線を発生させ、 蛍光管に塗布 された蛍光材を白色に発光させるものである。 しかし内部にガスがあるため に外気温が低温になるとガスが不活性になり点灯しにく くなつてしまうとい うことがあげられる。 そのために寒冷地などでは、 蛍光灯が輝度劣化ゃ不点 灯をおこさないようヒータ一で暖めるなどの特別な対策を施せざる得ない場 合もあるなどの課題を有していた。  The second problem is the problem of the principle of fluorescent lamps. Fluorescent lamps apply high pressure to the gas sealed inside the tube to generate ultraviolet rays and cause the fluorescent material applied to the fluorescent tube to emit white light. However, due to the presence of gas inside, if the outside air temperature becomes low, the gas becomes inactive and it becomes difficult to light up. For this reason, in cold districts, there have been issues such as special measures such as heating with a heater so that fluorescent lamps do not light up if the brightness deteriorates.
3つの目の課題は、 新たに開発した商品の信頼性確保及び品質安定が挙げ られる。 L E D蛍光灯の統一された規格がない現状では、 量産時において最 も重要な課題であるといえる。  The third challenge is ensuring the reliability and quality of newly developed products. In the current situation where there is no uniform standard for LED fluorescent lamps, this is the most important issue in mass production.
そこで、 本発明は、 量産時における商品の信頼性確保及び品質安定につい て、 J I S規格の口金と円筒カバー及びプリント基板の両端部との間に埤自 に開発したジョイント部材を介在させて取り付けることによって、 プリント 基板をしつかり と固定し該基板上に実装した半田クラックを防止できる L E D式蛍光灯形照明装置を提供することを目的とする。  Therefore, according to the present invention, in order to ensure the reliability and quality of the product in mass production, the joint member developed by the company is interposed between the JIS standard base, the cylindrical cover, and both ends of the printed circuit board. Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide an LED type fluorescent lamp illumination device that can securely fix a printed circuit board and prevent solder cracks mounted on the printed circuit board.
また、 本発明は、 長寿命かつ低温起動性にすぐれた L E Dを光源として現 行蛍光灯と構造的に互換性のある照明装置を提供するものであるが、 本発明 によれば、 上述した特許文献 1乃至 3に示す従来技術のように、 安定器の出 力を直流変換することなく L E Dへ電力を供給することにより、 整流変換で 発生する電力ロスがなく、 電力利用率の高い照明装置を実現できるものであ る。 さらに、 本発明によれば、 2 5 3 . 7 n m波長の近傍の短波長の紫外線 の光を出す紫外線 L E Dによって蛍光管内面に塗布された蛍光材を発光させ ることで、 個々の白色 L E Dの色温度羞による全体の発光時の色むらを抑制 することが可能になり、 現行蛍光灯に置換え可能な照明装置として該課題を 解決できるものである。 また、 本発明のプリント基板の着脱構造によって、 経年変化で輝度が著しく劣化した L E Dが実装されているプリント基板のみ の交換ができるために、 廃棄する不要部材を軽減しつつ、 少ないコス トでよ り長期間使用可能なエコロジーな L E D式蛍光灯形照明装置を提供するもの である。 Further, the present invention provides an illumination device that is structurally compatible with an existing fluorescent lamp using an LED having a long lifetime and excellent low temperature startability as a light source. As in the prior art shown in Documents 1 to 3, by supplying power to the LED without converting the output of the ballast to DC, It is possible to realize a lighting device with no power loss and high power utilization rate. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the fluorescent material applied to the inner surface of the fluorescent tube is caused to emit light by the ultraviolet LED that emits short-wavelength ultraviolet light in the vicinity of the wavelength of 25 3.7 nm, thereby allowing each white LED to emit light. As a result, it is possible to suppress the uneven color at the time of the entire light emission due to the color temperature, and to solve the problem as an illumination device that can be replaced with the current fluorescent lamp. In addition, since the printed circuit board mounting / demounting structure of the present invention can replace only the printed circuit board on which the LED whose luminance has deteriorated significantly over time is mounted, the unnecessary components to be discarded can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. It provides an ecological LED-type fluorescent lamp lighting device that can be used for a long time.

Furthermore, by attaching an O-ring 10 07 to the outer periphery of the cylindrical cover one-side mounting portion 10 5 of the joint member 100, the tolerance of the inner diameter of the cylindrical cover 300 can be absorbed by the O ring.
第 9図に示すように、 照明本体の中のプリント基板 4 0 0の裏面側には、 T型柱脚 5 0 0を備えており、 その Τ型柱脚 5 00によりプリント基板 40 0を円筒カバー 300の略中央に安定的に保持することができる。 As shown in Fig. 9, on the back side of the printed circuit board 400 in the lighting body, A T-shaped column base 500 is provided, and the printed circuit board 400 can be stably held at substantially the center of the cylindrical cover 300 by the vertical column base 500.
次に、 第 2図において回路構成を説明する。 20および 2 1は既存の蛍光 灯の安定器より電力を受けるための入力端子、 2 2は安定器の交流発振を促 すための起動補助キャパシター、 2 3は供給された交流電力の正相側で点灯 するよう配列された正相側 L ED、 24は供給された交流電力の逆相側で点 灯するよう配列された逆相側 L E D、 2 5は経年変化などの理由で該正相側 L E D及び逆相側 L EDの輝度が劣化してきたことを 2 6の輝度検知手段が 信号を発生し、 L EDに示すよう構成された寿命検知手段、 2 6は該正相側 L E Dまたは逆相側 L E Dの明るさを検知する輝度検知手段である。 正側 L E D及び逆相側に配列される L EDの数量は、 安定器の出力できる電力量で 決定する。 例えば 2 0Wと表記されている J I S規格による一般型 F L 2 0 S蛍光灯管と、 それに適合する安定器の場合、 実際の蛍光灯管への電力供給 は約 1 8W前後となり、 DUTY比約 50 %のパルス交流が印加されるとす ると、 実行平均消費電流で 300 mAから最大でも 400 mA、 ピーク トウ 一ピーク電圧値で 1 6 0 V〜 200 Vが印加される。 したがって従来の蛍光 灯と同様に白色 L E Dの場合は、 L EDの順方向起動電圧が約 3. 2 V程度 とすると、 正相側、 逆相側それぞれに各 2 5個前後の白色 L EDを直列接続 できる。 このとき L E Dの発光色は白色 L E D以外でもかまわないが、 L E Dは色によって順方向電圧が異なるので、 直列接続できる数量は色によって 異なる。 例えば赤色 L EDの場合は、 順方向電圧は 1. 8 V前後であること から 50個程度の直列接続が可能である。 一方、 並列接続は安定器の出力電 流によって決定される。 Next, the circuit configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 20 and 2 1 are input terminals for receiving power from existing fluorescent ballasts, 2 2 is a starting auxiliary capacitor for promoting AC oscillation of the ballast, 2 3 is the positive phase side of the supplied AC power The positive phase side LED arranged to light at, 24 is the negative phase side LED arranged to light on the negative phase side of the supplied AC power, and 25 is the positive phase side for reasons such as aging. 26 The brightness detection means 26 generates a signal that the brightness of the LED and reverse phase side LED has deteriorated, and 26 6 is a life detection means configured to indicate the LED. It is a luminance detection means that detects the brightness of the side LED. The quantity of LEDs arranged on the positive LED and the negative side is determined by the amount of power that can be output from the ballast. For example, in the case of a general-type FL 20 S fluorescent lamp tube according to the JIS standard written as 20 W and a ballast compatible therewith, the actual power supply to the fluorescent lamp tube is about 18 W, and the duty ratio is about 50 Assuming that% pulse AC is applied, 300 mA to 400 mA at maximum in the running average current consumption, and 160 V to 200 V in peak to peak voltage value are applied. Therefore, in the case of a white LED as in the case of a conventional fluorescent lamp, if the forward start voltage of the LED is about 3.2 V, about 25 white LEDs on each of the positive phase side and the reverse phase side are provided. Can be connected in series. At this time, the emission color of the LED may be other than the white LED, but since the LED has a different forward voltage depending on the color, the quantity that can be connected in series differs depending on the color. For example, in the case of red LEDs, the forward voltage is around 1.8 V, so about 50 units can be connected in series. On the other hand, the parallel connection Determined by the flow.
次に、 本発明においては、 従来の蛍光灯管のサイズの中に第 4図に示すよ うにプリ ン ト基板 1上に L E Dの直列回路、 および並列回路を形成し、 同様 の複数枚のプリント基板 1を縦にソケッ ト端子でジョイント接続して接続し ている。 このときの L E Dの直列数、 並列数は先にのベたとおりである。 ま た。 このジョイント構造によって L E Dの輝度劣化時にプリント基板 1の交 換を可能にするうえ、 縦にプリント基板をジョイント接続する役割を果たす。 本考案によればこれらの手段によって従来の蛍光灯管及びその安定器をその まま使用して、 L E D式の照明装置とすることができ、 今までにない長寿命 の L E D式蛍光灯形照明装置を提供できるものである。  Next, in the present invention, a series circuit and a parallel circuit of LEDs are formed on the printed circuit board 1 as shown in FIG. 4 in the size of a conventional fluorescent lamp tube, and a plurality of similar printed sheets are formed. Board 1 is connected by connecting joints vertically with socket terminals. At this time, the number of LEDs in series and the number in parallel are as described above. Also. This joint structure makes it possible to replace the printed circuit board 1 when the LED brightness deteriorates, and also serves to jointly connect the printed circuit boards vertically. According to the present invention, by using these means, the conventional fluorescent lamp tube and its ballast can be used as they are to obtain an LED type lighting device, which has an unprecedented long life LED type lighting device. Can be provided.
ちなみにプリント基板 1は、 安定器の出力に合わせて複数枚、 縦にジョイ ント接続し、 L E Dの並列数を増設してもよい。 また、 L E Dの輝度劣化に 伴うプリ ント基板の交換が不要な事例、 例えば人の出入りのできない場所な どへの設置や、 輝度が劣化しても影響のない場所への設置などの場合は、 プ リント基板の交換は不可能または不要である。 したがって一枚のプリント基 板上に直列回路、 並列回路を形成してもよい。 そしてジョイント及びソケッ トを使用することなく直接、 端子 5へ接続、 固定してもかまわない。 この場 合はジョイント基板 9、 7, 8 , 1 2 , 1 3の各基板ソケッ トと照明カバ一 1 1はなくてもよレヽ。  By the way, multiple printed circuit boards 1 can be connected vertically in accordance with the output of the ballast, and the number of parallel LEDs can be increased. Also, in cases where it is not necessary to replace the printed circuit board due to LED brightness deterioration, such as installation in places where people cannot enter or exit, or installation where there is no impact even if the brightness deteriorates, It is not possible or necessary to replace the printed circuit board. Therefore, a series circuit or a parallel circuit may be formed on a single printed board. And you can connect and fix directly to terminal 5 without using joints and sockets. In this case, it is not necessary to have the board sockets for joint boards 9, 7, 8, 12 and 13 and the illumination cover 11.
次に、 L E Dの寿命検知手段 2 5の実施例について第 2図を用いて説明す る。 L E Dの輝度検知手段 2 6は、 L E Dの輝度を電気信号に変換するため の光検出素子である。 たとえば既存のフォ ト トランジスターゃフォ トダイォ 一ドといった受光型半導体を用いてもよいが、 これらの素子は光の強さを出 力インピーダンスの高い信号としてしか出力できないので、 その半導体素子 を含む輝度検知手段 2 6と寿命表示手段 2 7、 電圧判定手段 2 8のすベてを 動作させる駆動電力をそれらの素子でまかなうことが困難な場合がある。 そ こで本発明によれば、 第 2図に示す輝度検知手段 2 6の受光素子に、 太陽電 池を用いることにより、 請求項 1記載の直列に配列された L E Dが発光する 光で太陽電池が起電力を発生し、 その発電電流を抵抗 2 9によって電圧変換 する。 そして電圧判定手段 2 8は一定電圧以下になった場合に L E Dが寿命 と判定し、 寿命表示手段 2 7を消灯する。 もし L E Dの輝度が正常なときは 寿命表示手段 2 7を点灯させる。 ところで太陽電池は短波長感度の高いァモ ルファス型太陽電池を用いてもよい。 これにより、 白色 L E Dの色ばらつき が青色よりの発光色に偏っていても充分 L E Dの輝度の変動が検知可能であ る。 また、 低照度における感度は低いが単結晶型の太陽電池や、 その他の種 類の太陽電池を用いても良い。 Next, an embodiment of the LED life detection means 25 will be described with reference to FIG. The LED brightness detection means 26 is a light detection element for converting the brightness of the LED into an electrical signal. For example, existing phototransistors are photodiodes However, since these elements can only output light intensity as a signal with high output impedance, luminance detection means 26 and lifetime display means 27 including the semiconductor elements can be used. In some cases, it may be difficult to provide drive power for operating all of the voltage determination means 28 with these elements. Therefore, according to the present invention, a solar cell is used as the light receiving element of the luminance detecting means 26 shown in FIG. Generates an electromotive force, and the generated current is converted into a voltage by a resistor 29. Then, when the voltage judgment means 28 is below a certain voltage, the LED judges that the life has expired, and the life display means 27 is turned off. If the LED brightness is normal, turn on the life display means 27. By the way, an amorphous solar cell having high short wavelength sensitivity may be used as the solar cell. As a result, even if the color variation of the white LED is biased toward the emission color of blue, it is possible to detect fluctuations in the brightness of the LED. In addition, although the sensitivity at low illuminance is low, a single crystal solar cell or other types of solar cells may be used.
以上のように、 本発明によれば、 寿命検知手段 2 5自身の駆動電力は太陽 電池でまかなわれるので、 蛍光灯の安定器から受電する電力に対して直流変 換等を施して供給する必要がなく、 非常にシンプルかつ電力ロスのほとんど ない寿命検知が実現できる。  As described above, according to the present invention, since the driving power of the life detecting means 25 itself is provided by the solar cell, it is necessary to supply the power received from the fluorescent light ballast by performing DC conversion or the like. It is possible to realize life detection that is very simple and has almost no power loss.
ここで、 第 2図の示す輝度検知手段 2 6を太陽電池にした場合の L E の 輝度劣化を検知の動作原理について、 第 5図を用いて説明する。 太陽電池 4 0に並列に接続された抵抗 4 1を接続している。 このとき太陽電池 4 0が発 電する発電電流 4 2によって抵抗 4 1に発電電圧 4 3を生じる。 この太陽電 池の動作点 4 4において電流を電圧変換することによって光の輝度を電圧と して検知することが可能である。 L E Dがもし寿命になり輝度が著しく低下 すれば、 当然太陽電池が発電する発電電流 4 2も低下するため、 抵抗 4 1 と の交点である動作点 4 4も小さくなる。 この動作点 4 4における発電電圧 4 3が、 第 2図に示した該電圧検出手段で設定したしきい値以下の電圧になつ たとき、 該寿命表示手段を動作させればその視認判定が可能である。 Here, the principle of operation for detecting the luminance deterioration of LE when the luminance detecting means 26 shown in FIG. 2 is a solar cell will be described with reference to FIG. A resistor 41 connected in parallel to the solar cell 40 is connected. At this time, the generated voltage 43 is generated in the resistor 41 by the generated current 42 generated by the solar cell 40. This solar It is possible to detect the brightness of light as a voltage by converting the current to voltage at the operating point 44 of the pond. If the LED reaches the end of its life and the brightness is significantly reduced, naturally the generated current 42 generated by the solar cell also decreases, so the operating point 44, which is the intersection with the resistor 41, also decreases. When the generated voltage 4 3 at the operating point 44 becomes a voltage equal to or lower than the threshold value set by the voltage detection means shown in FIG. 2, the visual indication can be determined by operating the life display means. It is.
ところで、 寿命による L E Dの輝度がさらに著しく低下すれば、 当然、 太 陽電池 4 0が発電できる電力も低下し、 該寿命検知手段全体に必要な駆動電 力が供給されなくなるが、 そのときは必然的に寿命表示手段が不点灯になる ので、 それをもつて寿命と定義しておけば問題なレ、。  By the way, if the brightness of the LED due to the lifespan further decreases, naturally, the power that can be generated by the solar battery 40 also decreases, and the necessary driving power is not supplied to the entire life detection means. Since the life display means is not lit in general, it is a problem if you define it as a life.
また、 日中の屋外光などの強い外来光が照射されるような状況下で、 照明 装置を点灯しつづけるような使用状況下では、 その強い外来光で太陽電池が 発電してしまい、 L E Dが寿命かどうかの正しい判定ができなくなる場合が 生じる。 しかし夜間において外来光がなくなり、 照明装置が点灯を開始して からし E Dの出力を検知すれば通常通り判定が可能である。 もし照明装置が 点灯を開始した後、 一度でも太陽電池の発電電圧がしきい値以下の電圧とし て検知された場合は、 該寿命表示手段を即座に消灯させ、 L E Dが交換され るまで継続して不点灯を継続しておけばよい。 これは、 屋外光などによって 一時的に太陽電池の出力が上昇し、 しきい値を上回る電圧が生じたとしても、 該寿命表示手段は継続して消灯しているので、 L E Dが寿命と判定できるた めである。 ちなみにこの寿命表示手段は白色以外の L E Dなどを用いれば、 本体の照明色と混同することなく認識でき、 また L E Dは省電力で駆動でき るので、 該輝度検知手段 2 6の太陽電池も小型のもので該寿命検知手段全体 の電力をまかなうことができる。 Also, in situations where strong external light such as outdoor light during the day is radiated, under conditions of use where lighting devices are kept on, the solar cells generate electricity with the strong external light, and the LED In some cases, it may not be possible to correctly determine whether the product has reached the end of its service life. However, if there is no extraneous light at night and the illuminator starts to light up, it can be judged as usual if the ED output is detected. If the generated voltage of the solar cell is detected as a voltage below the threshold even once after the lighting device has started to turn on, the life display means is immediately turned off and continues until the LED is replaced. And keep it off. This is because even if the output of the solar cell temporarily increases due to outdoor light, etc., even if a voltage exceeding the threshold value is generated, the life display means is continuously turned off, so the LED can be determined to be at the end of its life. Because of this. By the way, this life indication means can be recognized without confusion with the illumination color of the main unit if LED other than white is used, and the LED can be driven with low power consumption. Therefore, the solar cell of the luminance detecting means 26 is also small and can cover the power of the entire life detecting means.
ところで、 第 2図に示す寿命検知手段 2 5のリセッ トは、 蛍光灯自体を消 灯するなどの理由で該太陽電池の発電ができなくなり、 起電力が完全にゼロ、 またはしきい値よりもさらに低い電圧になった場合のみ、 電圧判定手段 2 8 をリセッ トする手段 3 0を有することで、 蛍光灯が再点灯を開始すれば再び L E Dの寿命判定が可能になる。  By the way, the resetting of the life detection means 25 shown in FIG. 2 makes it impossible to generate power for the solar cell due to extinguishing the fluorescent lamp itself, and the electromotive force is completely zero or below the threshold value. By having means 30 for resetting voltage judgment means 2 8 only when the voltage becomes lower, the life of LED can be judged again when the fluorescent lamp starts to light up again.
また、 本発明よれば、 短波長 : 2 5 3 . 7 n m近傍の発光特性を有する紫 外線 L E Dをプリント基板 1に実装し、 照明カバー 1 1及び筐体 6に蛍光材 料を塗布することにより、 従来の蛍光灯のガス放電によって紫外線発光を得 ていたのと同様の効果を作ることができる。 第 2図に示すように回路構成上 は紫外線 L E Dを用いても第 2図に示す同じ回路で構成できる。 したがって すでに実施例において説明した L E Dの直列数並列接続数については、 この 紫外線 L E Dについても同様の定義が成り立つ。 この考案によれば従来の蛍 光灯のフィラメント構造を所有することなく蛍光材料を発光させることがで き、 また管内をガスなどを封入する必要もない。 加えて従来の蛍光灯のよう にガラス管での形成は不要になどメリ ッ 卜が生じる。  Further, according to the present invention, an ultraviolet LED having a light emission characteristic of short wavelength: near 25.73.7 nm is mounted on the printed circuit board 1, and a fluorescent material is applied to the illumination cover 11 and the casing 6. An effect similar to that obtained by emitting ultraviolet light by gas discharge of a conventional fluorescent lamp can be produced. As shown in Fig. 2, the same circuit as shown in Fig. 2 can be used even if ultraviolet LED is used. Therefore, the same definition holds true for the ultraviolet LED as to the number of LEDs connected in series as described in the above embodiment. According to this device, the fluorescent material can emit light without possessing the filament structure of a conventional fluorescent lamp, and it is not necessary to enclose gas inside the tube. In addition, there is a disadvantage that it is not necessary to form a glass tube as in conventional fluorescent lamps.
