FLEXIBLE ROD LIGHT DEVICE FORMED OF CHIP ON BOARD
BASED LED LAMPS AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to LED (Light Emitting Diode) means and more particularly to a flexibie rod light device containing a string of chip on board (C.O.B.) based LED lamps and manufacturing method thereof.
BASED LED LAMPS AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to LED (Light Emitting Diode) means and more particularly to a flexibie rod light device containing a string of chip on board (C.O.B.) based LED lamps and manufacturing method thereof.
2. Description of Related Art A process of manufacturing a conventional flexible rod fight is shown in FIG. 13. First, solder a terminal 2a of a LED lamp 2 to one end of a conductor section 3. Next, pull the conductor section 3 to pass a side of the LED lamp 2.
Then, solder a terminal 2b of a second LED lamp 2 to the other end of the conductor section 3. Then, repeat above three processes to form a string of LED lamps. Next, put a continuous sleeve 1 around the string of LED lamps.
Then, wrapping the sleeve 1 with a plastic material (not shown) by extrusion to form a jacket. As a result, the flexible rod light is formed.
However, the prior art suffered from several disadvantages. For example, there is no support means between any two adjacent LED lamps 2 with the 2o conductor section 3 bent therebetween. Further, the LED lamps 2 and the conductor sections 3 tend to be stuck within the sleeve 1 during the manufacturing process. This is particularly true when the sleeve 1 has a length longer than a predetermined one, resulting in an interrupt of the manufacturing process. In a less serious case, a distance between two adjacent LED lamps 2 may be different from that of another two adjacent LED lamps 2. And in tum, the already bent conductor section 3 is further bent or extended. As an end, a desired configuration of equal spaced apart LED lamps 2 is not obtainable.
Consequently, a uniform light emitted from the light device is rr~ade impossible.
Furthermore, an excessive pulling of one LED lamp 2 from an adjacent LED
lamp 2 may break the conductor section 3, thus disconnecting the electrical connection of the light device. Also, LED lamps 2 tend to displace slightly in the sleeve 1, i.e., not reliably secured. As such, light emitted from a displaced LED
lamp 2 may not concentrate in a direction parallel to, for example, X-Z plane, i.e., being oblique relative to the X-Z plane.
Thus, it is desirable to provide an improved flexible rod light device formed of C.O.B. based LED lamps and manufacturing method thereof in order to overcome the above drawbacks of the prior art.

It is stilt further object of the present invention to provide a flexible rod light device wherein a string of LED (amps and resistors is easily installed due to flat top and bottom surface of jacket.
In an aspect of the present invention to provide a flexible rod light device having concentrated tight and increased flexibility to withstand a pulling thereof.

Step 5: Wrap up the inner layer 10 and the string of C.C.~.B. based LED
lamps 20 by a plastic material the same as the inner layer 10 by extruding to form a jacket 40.
The benefits of this invention include: The C.O.B. based LED lamps 21 are fastened and have the same orientation. Enhanced flexibility of the conductor sections 23 on the groove 11 (i.e., X~Y plane as assumed) to withstand a pulling of the light device. Protection the resistors 22 against damage. Easy installation is effected due to the flat top and bottom surfaces 41 and 42 of the jacket 40.
4 Light emitted from C.O.B. based LED lamps 21 (as indicated by arrow) can concentrate in a direction perpendicular to the top surface 41, i.e., increased illumination.
Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown a second preferred embodiment of the invention. The characteristics of the embodiment are detailed below. Each unit comprises a C.O.B. based LED lamp 21; a SMD resistor (or current control IC) 22a mounted on the C.O.B. based LED lamp 21 by soldering, and a conductor section 23 coupled between the C.O.B. based LED lamps 21 of two adjacent units by soldering. It is.to be noted that above step 2 may be slightly adjusted as the following: Form each unit of the string of C.O.B. based LED lamps 20 by passing through a soldering paste or by spot welding on a section of wire of copper foil.
Referring to FIG. 7, there is shown a third preferred embodiment of the invention. The characteristics of the embodiment are detailed below. An elongate copper foil section 24 is used to replace the conductor section for interconnecting the C.O.B. based LED lamps 21 of two adjacent units by soldering. Further, SMD resistor (or current control IC) 22a is mounted on a bottom of the C.~.B. based LED lamp 21.
Referring to FIG. 8, there is shown a fourth preferred embodiment of the invention. The difference of the third and the fourth embodiments' is that the elongate copper foil section 24 is replaced by a conductor section 23a and a flexible sleeve 25 is sleeved on the conductor section 23a. As such, a benefit of permitting a pulling of the sleeve 25 without disengaging the conductor section 23a from the adjacent C.O.B. based LED lamp 21 is obtained. In other words, an enhanced flexibility of the conductor section is achieved.
Referring to FIG. 9, there is shown a fifth preferred embodiment of the invention. The differences of the third and the fifth embodiments are that the elongate copper foil section 24 is replaced by an elongate metal foil section 27.
Further, a temporary tape 26 having a plurality of equally spaced apart rectangular openings 261 (formed by punching) each sized for positioning the C.O.B. based LED lamp 21 and small portions of the elongate metal foil sections 27 therein is provided. The tape 26 is removed once the string of C.O.B. based LED lamps 20 has been secured on the groove 11. Note that the coupling of the C.O.B. based LED lamp 21 and the elongate metal foil sections 27 may be effected by means of a solder machine having a plurality of soldering means for simultaneous soldering.
Referring to FIG. 10, there is shown a sixth preferred embodiment of the invention. The differences of the third and the sixth embodiments are that a plurality of equally spaced apart rectangular recesses 15 are formed on the groove 11 by punching wherein each recess 15 is sized to receive and secure the C.~.B. based LED lamp 21 therein. Note that, in one case, a plurality of bubbles are formed on top of each recess 15 by controlling extrusion temperature and extrusion speed of the jacket. As such, a flexibility of the light device is made possible because the bubbles can provide a buffering effect between the recess 15 and the C.O.B. based LED lamp 21 when the light device is bent. Further note that, in another case, there are no bubbles formed.
Instead, a plurality of raised points are formed on top of each recess 15. The raised points also can provide a buffering effect between the recess 15 and the C.O.B. based LED lamp 21 when the light device is beat.
Referring to FIG. 11, there is shown a seventh preferred embodiment of the invention.
