Description

Explosion-proof type LED lamp tube and manufacturing method thereof

The invention relates to an LED lamp, in particular to an explosion-proof LED lamp tube in which an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface of a lamp tube are respectively provided with a heat-conductive self-adhesive substrate and an explosion-proof protective film, and a manufacturing method thereof.

In recent years, Light-Emitting Diode (LED) has been widely used in lighting devices for everyday life. Please refer to the first figure, which is an exploded view of a conventional LED lamp. As shown in the first figure, the conventional LED lamp 1' includes: a heat dissipation aluminum extrusion 10', a lamp cover 11', a circuit board 13', a plurality of LED elements 14', an LED driving module 12', and a two-terminal cover 15', wherein the circuit board 13' and the LED elements 14' are placed on the heat-dissipating aluminum extrusion 10', the LED driving mode The group 12' is placed in the accommodating space inside the heat-dissipating aluminum extrusion 10', and finally the lampshade 11' and the two-end cover 15' are assembled to the heat-dissipating aluminum extrusion 10'. Moreover, the circuit board 13' is electrically connected to the LED driving module 12' for controlling the illumination of the plurality of LED elements 14'; further, each end cap 15' has a set of electrical terminals 151', To connect to the mains.

The above LED lamp 1' is one of the currently common LED lamps; However, after long-term research, the inventors of this case found that the conventional LED lamps 1' showed several defects in use:

1. The structure is complicated: the structure of the conventional LED lamp 1' is relatively complicated. On the assembly, the circuit board 13' must be placed on the heat-dissipating aluminum extrusion 10' and the LED driving module 12' is placed in the heat-dissipating aluminum extrusion 10'. The lampshade 11' and the end cap 15' are then assembled onto the heat-dissipating aluminum extrusion 10', and such a complicated assembly process is very difficult to mass-produce through automation or semi-automation.

2. High cost: The conventional LED lamp 1' mainly uses heat-dissipating aluminum to squeeze 10' to dissipate heat. However, the heat-dissipating aluminum extrusion 10' is not only bulky and heavy, but more importantly, its production cost is very high, resulting in conventional use. The overall cost of producing LED lamps 1' is high.

3. Insufficient insulation: The conventional LED lamp 1' has a large volume of heat-dissipating aluminum extrusion 10', and the bottom of the heat-dissipating aluminum extrusion 10' is exposed outside the lampshade 11'; therefore, the exposed heat dissipation can be imagined. Aluminum extrusion 10' will likely result in poor insulation of LED lamps 1'.

4. The illumination range is small: since the upper half of the conventional LED lamp 1' structure is the lamp cover 11', and the lower half is the heat dissipation aluminum extrusion 10', the light emitted by the LED elements 14' can only be half-circumferential. (~180o) is emitted; it can be seen that the illumination range of the conventional LED lamp 1' is not large.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have invented the invention in view of the shortcomings and disadvantages of the LED lamps currently in use, and finally developed an explosion-proof type LED lamp tube of the present invention and a manufacturing method thereof.

The main object of the present invention is to provide an explosion-proof type LED lamp tube and a manufacturing method thereof, which are particularly used for quickly attaching a self-adhesive substrate having a plurality of LED elements on a surface thereof to a lamp tube by using a substrate bonding tool. The inner wall; in this way, the heat generated by the illumination of the LED elements can be directly transferred to the air through the lamp tube, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the LED lamp. In addition, since the self-adhesive substrate is directly attached to the inner wall of the lamp tube without passing through any aluminum base; therefore, the light emitted by the LED elements can be similar to full-circumference (greater than 300o). Ejecting, in this way, increases the illumination range of the LED luminaire of the present invention. More importantly, in the present invention, the lamp tube is covered with an explosion-proof protective film in particular, so that once the (glass) lamp tube breaks, the explosion-proof protective film can effectively prevent the lamp tube from escaping. The safety of the LED tube of the present invention is ensured.

Therefore, in order to achieve the above object of the present invention, the inventor of the present invention proposes an explosion-proof LED lamp tube, comprising: a lamp tube; an explosion-proof protective film for covering the lamp tube to prevent the lamp tube from being broken and broken; a self-adhesive substrate is disposed on an inner wall of the lamp tube, and the self-adhesive substrate is formed with at least one circuit layer, and the circuit layer is electrically connected to an LED drive The LED module is disposed on the circuit layer and electrically connected to the LED driving module through the circuit layer, so that the LED driving module can control the illumination of the plurality of LED components; And two end covers are respectively connected to the two ends of the lamp tube, and the end cover has an electrical terminal set for electrically connecting an external power source.

Moreover, in order to achieve the above object of the present invention, the inventor of the present invention proposes a method for manufacturing an explosion-proof LED lamp tube, which comprises the following steps: (1) providing a lamp tube and coating the lamp tube with an explosion-proof protective film; (2) placing a self-adhesive substrate having a circuit layer and a plurality of LED elements on a substrate bonding tool by using a release paper; (3) removing the release paper, and removing the substrate The bonding tool is placed in the lamp tube; (4) the lamp tube is suspended, and the lamp tube is supported by the substrate bonding tool, so that a glue on the bottom surface of the self-adhesive substrate and the inner wall of the lamp tube (5) operating a roller to roll over the outer wall of the lamp tube, so that the glue on the bottom surface of the self-adhesive substrate can be closely attached to the inner wall of the lamp tube; (6) taking out the substrate bonding And (7) combining the two end caps to the ends of the tube.

Therefore, the adhesive 132 can be any of the following: thermal adhesive , silicone, acrylic, adhesive, adhesive, adhesive, or any other adhesive. Thus, the self-adhesive substrate 13 is adhered to the inner wall of the lamp tube 11 through a glue 132 on the back surface thereof, and the self-adhesive substrate 13 is formed with at least one circuit layer 131. The circuit layer 131 may be copper. The circuit layer; or the circuit layer 131 can also be presented through the circuit board. In addition, the plurality of LED elements 14 are disposed on the circuit layer 131, and are electrically connected to the LED driving module 152 disposed in the end cover 15 through the circuit layer.
