Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat sink structure for a light-emitting diode (LED) based streetlamp, and particularly to an improved heat sink structure for LED based streetlamp.
  • LED light-emitting diode
  • the streetlamps are generally in the form of bulbs. However, they are considered having the disadvantages of high power consumption and short lifetime. Recently, light-emitting diode (LED) has been used for the torch as a power source.
  • LED light-emitting diode
  • High power LED is a kind of LED which can emit light normally even only with the power 0.5 to 3 watts supplied. In addition to the torch, such kind of LED has also been used in the headlight.
  • the high power LED still can not be effectively used as a backlight source for liquid crystal display (LCD) since the light emitting efficiency thereof is too low therefor. So far, there are still few LEDs for the LCD on market, since they have to be further developed for the practical use.
  • the high power LEDs have gradually become indispensable in our daily life. Being technically limited by the LED materials and packaging technology, the LEDs still have not lived up to the specifications of the general lighting means in luminance and lifetime. Further, the heat energy, generated when the LED emits light, has to be properly removed therefrom. If the heat sink mechanism is not properly provided, the high temperature contributed by the heat energy will cause the luminance and lifetime reduced and the light wavelength shifted with respect to the LEDs. In the case of the streetlamp, the poor heat sink mechanism also leads to a quick damage thereof.
  • an object of the present invention to provide a heat sink structure for light-emitting diode (LED) based streetlamp, through which heat energy generated from LEDs therein can be rapidly removed therefrom.
  • LED light-emitting diode
  • the heat sink structure for LED based streetlamp comprises an upper cover on which a plurality of heat sink fins are formed integrally and a lower cover.
  • the heat energy generated from the LEDs, mounted on a polymer-coated gold substrate, within the upper and lower covers can be removed through the heat sink fins, effectuate rapid removing of the heat energy.
  • the polymer-coated gold substrate may be varied in area and shape.
  • An upper silicon glue and a lower silicon glue are provided in the upper and lower covers, respectively, so that the heat sink structure can be water resistant.
  • a fastening member is disposed between the upper and lower covers so that the upper and lower covers may be not totally separated from each other when one of they is moved from the other for maintenance and replacement of elements in the heat sink structure.
  • a rear hole and a lower hole are formed on the upper and lower covers, respectively, for insertion and fixation of a lamp post. When the lamp post is absent, an upper plug and a lower plug may be used to choked up the rear and lower holes, respectively, so that the heat sink structure can be water resistant.
  • the present invention discloses a heat sink structure for light-emitting diode (LED) based streetlamp, which will be described taken with the preferred embodiments in conjunction with the drawings. However, they should not be deemed limitative but merely for description.
  • LED light-emitting diode
  • the heat sink structure for high power LED based streetlamp according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown therein.
  • the heat sink structure comprises an upper cover 1, a lower cover 2 and a polymer-coated gold substrate 5. Between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2, there is a fastening member 13 for fixing the two covers 1, 2 together.
  • the fixation member 13 is disposed on an outer surface of the upper cover 1 at a front end thereof, or on an inner surface of the upper cover 1 at a rear end thereof. As such, the upper cover 1 may be moved from the lower cover 2 but without being totally separated from the lower cover 2.
  • the upper and lower covers 1, 2 are each a rectangular body.
  • each of the upper and lower covers 11, 21 may also have a circular or other structure.
  • an upper plug 16 and a lower plug 26 may be used to choke up the rear and lower holes 11, 21 so that the heat sink structure can be water resistant.
  • a lamp mask 3 is disposed on the outer surface of the lower cover 2.
  • the upper and lower covers 1, 2 have an upper slot 17 and a lower slot 27, respectively.
  • the upper slot 17 is formed at a rim of the inner surface of the upper cover 1.
  • An upper silicon glue 15 may be received within the upper slot 17.
  • the lower slot 17 2 is formed at a rim of the inner surface of the lower cover 2.
  • a lower silicon glue 25 may be received within the lower slot 27.
  • the heat sink structure can be water resistant when the upper and lower covers 1, 2 are assembled together.
  • a plurality of high power LEDs 4 are fixedly mounted on the polymer-coated gold substrate 5. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 1B, the polymer-coated gold substrate 5 may also take the form of rectangular or circular shape.
  • the polymer-coated gold substrate 5 is fixed on the inner surface of the upper cover 1 by means of a screw 18. In this manner, the heat energy generated from the high power LEDs can be transmitted through the polymer-coated gold substrate 5 to a plurality of heat sink fins 12, which may be made of aluminum, and further to the ambient air.
  • the plurality of heat sink fins 12 are integrally formed on the outer surface of the upper cover 1. As such, the heat energy generated from the LEDs 4 can be rapidly moved therefrom.
