Description

LED Lighting Apparatus {LED Lighting Apparatus}

The present invention relates to a lighting lamp using a light emitting diode, and more particularly, to a light emitting diode lighting lamp which improves operating efficiency and reliability of a product by improving a heat dissipation effect by forming a plurality of through holes on a PCB surface on which the light emitting diode is mounted. will be.

In the case of conventionally used lighting lamps, incandescent lamps or fluorescent lamps are mainly used as indoor light sources used in homes or offices, and mercury lamps or sodium lamps are mainly used as outdoor lights such as street lamps and security lamps.

However, the conventional light sources have a problem that the energy consumption is large compared to the brightness and the lifespan is short, so that the amount of light rapidly decreases with time, and thus periodic management is necessary. There was a problem acting as a cause of environmental pollution.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, lighting lamps using light emitting diodes (LEDs) with low power consumption and long lifespan as light sources have been developed and released in recent years.

The light emitting diode (LED) has a junction structure of a P-type and an N-type semiconductor, and is an optoelectronic device that emits light of energy corresponding to a bandgap of a semiconductor by combining electrons and holes when a voltage is applied. Since time is fast and power consumption is low as low as 20% compared to general light bulbs, it is widely used in various fields such as indoor and outdoor lighting, street lighting, signage, structure lighting, and decorative lighting.

Since such light emitting diodes exhibit optimal operating efficiency only when they are maintained at a temperature of 50 ° C. to 60 ° C. or below at a normal room temperature of 25 ° C., the above conditions must be maintained to maintain the brightness and lifetime (more than 50,000 hours) required for the light emitting diode lamps. I can guarantee it.

However, currently used light emitting diode lamps are not able to maintain the above-described optimal operating state because the temperature rises to 80 ℃ or more when operating the power supply, and as a result, the brightness of the light emitting diode is lowered and the lifetime is also increased. The problem is that it becomes much shorter.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a lamp having a heat sink attached to a rear surface of a light emitting diode has recently been manufactured, but even in this case, heat is still generated because heat generated from the light emitting diode cannot effectively pass through the PCB substrate to the rear side. There is a problem in that the efficiency of the lamp is low because many and the temperature is high.

In addition, since most of the materials used as heat sinks are made of aluminum, which is required to import raw materials, it has a disadvantage of not only outflow of foreign currency but also an increase in material costs according to exchange rates, and a weak strength as a structural material for lighting.

In addition, in the case of a conventional LED lighting lamp, a converter for converting a commercial AC power source into a DC power source is assembled on the front of the lamp for a slim design. In this case, when the lamp is turned on, a shadow of the converter is generated to reduce illumination. And there is a disadvantage that causes a decrease in vision and discomfort of the user.

In addition, in the case of indoor lightings (specifically, indoor ceiling lights) in which lighting lamps of the same design are installed continuously, since AC power supplied to each lighting lamp is individually connected by using wires, the wiring structure becomes complicated, There is a problem that causes a malfunction or fire, such as lighting due to poor wiring connection.

The present invention is to solve the above problems of the prior art, the object of the present invention is that the heat generated by the operation of the light emitting diode is easily discharged to the rear of the PCB so that the heat radiation through the outer surface of the case is made smoothly It is to provide a light emitting diode lighting that can improve the reliability of the lighting.

In addition, a plurality of through holes 20c are formed on each of the PCB surfaces to discharge heat generated from the light emitting diode toward the bottom surface of the case. It is preferably formed over the entire PCB surface and its diameter is preferably 0.8 mm or less.

At this time, if the diameter of the through hole 20c is excessively large or the spacing of the through holes 20c is too dense, the mechanical strength of the entire PCB may be a problem, and conversely, the diameter of the through hole 20c is excessively large. Since there is a problem that the heat dissipation effect is lowered if it is small or the spacing is too sparse, it is appropriate to design the diameter and the spacing of the through hole 20c appropriately in consideration of the mechanical strength and the heat dissipation effect required for the lighting to be installed. desirable.

According to the above configuration, the light emitting diode illumination lamp according to the present invention lowers the temperature of about 10 to 20% or more as compared with the conventional light emitting diode illumination lamp, so that it is possible to maintain an appropriate operating temperature of the light emitting diode at all times. You can increase it by about 15%.

That is, in the lighting lamp according to the present invention, since the heat generated by the operation of the light emitting diode is quickly discharged to the rear of the PCB through the through hole 20c, the heat radiation through the outer surface of the case is made smoothly, such as the light emitting diode lighting lamp The advantage is that the reliability can be improved.
