Abstract
A lighting device for a vehicle lamp has a base (10), a substrate (20), a conducting rib (30) and an LED module (40). The substrate (20) is mounted in the base (10). The conducting rib (30) is perpendicularly mounted on the base (10) and has a first heat-dissipating surface (33) and a second heat-dissipating surface (34) opposite to the first heat-dissipating surface (33). The conducting rib (30) provides two heat dissipating paths to increase the heat dissipating efficiency. The LED module (40) is mounted on a distal end of the conducting rib (30) and extends out of the base (10), and the LED module (40) is electrically connected to the substrate (20). The LED module (40) extends out of the base (10) to accurately correspond to a reflection space around a lamp seat and improve the light-homogenizing effect of the vehicle lamp.
Description
- The present invention relates to a lighting device, and more particularly to a lighting device for a vehicle lamp to provide a light-homogenizing effect.
- An LED (light emitting diode) is a point light source and has small volume and high luminance. Therefore, LED has been widely used in vehicle lamps. A vehicle lamp has a seat, a conventional lighting device, and a lampshade. A chamber is defined in the seat. An opening is formed in the seat and communicates with the chamber. The conventional lighting device is mounted on the seat. The lampshade is mounted on the seat and closes the opening of the seat. The conventional lighting device has a base, a substrate, an LED module and a heat sink. The substrate is mounted on the base. The LED module is mounted on a distal end of the substrate and has a circuit board and an LED. The circuit board is connected to the substrate. The LED is mounted on the circuit board. The heat sink is mounted on a side surface of the substrate.
- Heat generated by the LED is conducted through the circuit board, the substrate and the heat sink in sequence to form a single heat dissipating path. Thus, the heat dissipating efficiency of the conventional lighting device is not sufficient.
- To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a lighting device to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
- The main objective of the invention is to provide a lighting device with improved heat dissipating efficiency.
- The lighting device for a vehicle lamp has a base, a substrate, a conducting rib and an LED module. The substrate is mounted in the base. The conducting rib is perpendicularly mounted on the base and has a first end, a second end, a first heat-dissipating surface, and a second heat-dissipating surface. The second end is opposite to the first end and is connected to the base. The second heat-dissipating surface is opposite to the first heat-dissipating surface. The LED module is mounted on the first end of the conducting rib and extends out of the base, and is electrically connected to the substrate.
- Heat generated by the LED module is conducted to the conducting rib, and then the heat is conducted out of the first heat-dissipating surface and the second heat-dissipating surface, so the conducting rib provides two heat dissipating paths to increase the heat dissipating efficiency. Furthermore, the lighting device is mounted in a vehicle lamp. The LED module is mounted on the first end of the conducting rib to accurately correspond to a reflection space of a lamp seat of the vehicle lamp. Therefore, the light emitted from the LED module illuminates a reflecting surface of the lamp seat and is reflected by the reflecting surface to improve the light-homogenizing effect of the vehicle lamp. So the lighting device as described is suitable for various types of lamps and is in conformity with regulations of luminance and distribution of light pattern of vehicle lamps.

Theloading portion 15 is mounted around and protrudes transversely from theseat 11. Thefirst cap 12 and thesecond cap 13 are both mounted on theloading portion 15. Theprotrusions 16 are formed on an outer surface of theseat 11. - The
substrate 20 is mounted in thebase 10 and is located at theinner space 14 of theseat 11.
The conductingrib 30 is perpendicularly mounted on theloading portion 15 of thebase 10 and has afirst end 31, asecond end 32, a first heat-dissipating surface 33, and a second heat-dissipating surface 34. Thesecond end 32 is opposite to thefirst end 31 and is connected to the loading portion15 of thebase 10. The first heat-dissipating surface 33 is connected to thefirst cap 12. The second heat-dissipating surface 34 is opposite to the first heat-dissipating surface 33 and is connected to thesecond cap 13. Preferably, the conductingrib 30 is made of copper or ceramics. - The
LED module 40 is mounted on thefirst end 31 of the conductingrib 30, extends out of thebase 10, and is electrically connected to thesubstrate 20. TheLED module 40 has a heat-conductingplate 41, at least onecircuit board 42, and at least oneLED 43. The heat-conductingplate 41 is mounted on thefirst end 31 of the conductingrib 30 and has two sides. Eachcircuit board 42 is mounted on one of the two sides of the heat-conductingplate 41 and is electrically connected to thesubstrate 20 by anelectric wire 44. EachLED 43 is mounted on and is connected electrically to acorresponding circuit board 42. In the preferred embodiment as shown inFig. 3 , theLED module 40 has twocircuit boards 42 mounted respectively on the two sides of the heat-conductingplate 41 and twoLEDs 43 respectively mounted on the twocircuit boards 42. - One of the ways to assemble the first and
second caps screw 17 and anut 18. With reference toFig. 1 , thescrew 17 is inserted through thefirst cap 12, the conductingrib 30 and thesecond cap 13. Thenut 18 is fastened on the screw17. Alternatively, the lighting device as described may have engaging units to assemble thefirst cap 12 with thesecond cap 13. - With reference to
Fig. 5 , eachcap multiple cooling grooves - The lighting device is mounted on a lamp seat having a reflecting surface via the
protrusions 16 of thebase 10. A lampshade is mounted on the lamp seat. TheLED module 40 of the lighting device is inserted into a reflection space around the lamp seat. The light emitted from the at least oneLED 43 of the lighting device as described illuminates the reflector and is reflected by the reflecting surface to be emitted out from the lampshade. - With reference to
Fig. 4 , the heat generated by the at least oneLED 43 of theLED module 40 is conducted to the conductingrib 30 through thecircuit board 42 and the heat-conductingplate 41 in sequence. The heat conducted to the conductingrib 30 is further conducted to thefirst cap 12 through the first heat-dissipatingsurface 33 to form a first heat dissipating path. At the same time, the heat conducted to the conductingrib 30 is further conducted to thesecond cap 13 through the second heat-dissipatingsurface 34 to form a second heat dissipating path. The heat conducted to thefirst cap 12 and thesecond cap 13 can be further dissipated by convection. - Accordingly, the conducting
rib 30 of the lighting device as described provides two heat dissipating paths to increase the heat dissipating efficiency. Furthermore, theLED module 40 is mounted on thefirst end 31 of the conductingrib 30 to accurately correspond to a reflection space of a lamp seat of the vehicle lamp. The light emitted from theLED module 40 illuminates the reflecting surface of the lamp seat and is reflected by the reflecting surface to improve the light-homogenizing effect of the vehicle lamp. Therefore, the lighting device as described is in conformity with regulations of luminance and distribution of light pattern of vehicle lamps.
