  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a fifth preferred embodiment of a heat sink for LED bulbs in the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • As shown in FIGS. 1-3, a preferred embodiment of a heat sink for LED bulbs in the present invention at least includes a base 1, a base connector 2, a lamp casing 3, a heat conducting plate 4, a circuit board 5 and a bulb hood 6.
  • The base 1 is provided with male threads 10 used to engage with a socket connected to a power, and female threads 11 to engage with the base connector 2.
  • The base connector 2 is provided with male threads 20 for engaging with the female threads 11 of the base 1, and a chamber 21 possessing an upper circumferential wall 22 combined with a chamber 35 of the lamp casing 3 to accommodate a power module. In addition, the base connector 2 is also provided with an extending circumferential wall 23, plural locking projections 24 built on the extending circumferential wall 23 to interlock with the lamp casing 3, and an outer circumferential wall 25.
  • The lamp casing 3 is formed like a trumpet, provided with an inner engaging circumferential wall 30 to interlock with the locking projections 24 of the base connector 2, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, with a bottom circumference 31 resting on the outer circumferential wall 25 of the base connector 2, so as to keep the lamp casing 3 stably combined with the base connector 2. The lamp casing 3 also has plural positioning projections 32 formed around an inner wall of a top edge to fix the heat conducting plate 4, as shown in FIG. 3, or a supporting circumferential wall 32A to fix the heat conducting plate 4, as shown in FIG. 5. A heat-dispersing paint is coated on an outer surface 33 or an inner surface 34 or both so as to scatter heat created by LED bulbs. The chamber 35 of the lamp casing 3 is to accommodate a power module 7 that has a bottom resting on the upper circumferential wall 22 of the chamber 21 of the base connector 2. So the power module 7 is stably confined in the chamber 35 of the lamp casing 3 and the chamber 21 of the base connector 2. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, formed on the inner surface around the opening of the lamp casing 3 is an irregular inner surface 34 having some portion shaped as a curved surface 340 for fixing the heat conducting plate 4. Or, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a combining circumferential wall 36 is formed around the edge of the opening of the lamp casing 3, used to position the bulb hood 6.
  • The lamp casing 3 is formed airtight, as shown in FIGS. 3-6, or provided with plural heat scattering holes 37 spaced apart properly, as shown in FIG. 7. With the heat scattering holes 37 co-working with the heat dispersing paint coated on the lamp casing, heat scattering efficiency can be augmented to guarantee the long service life of LED bulbs.
  • Next, the heat conducting plate 4 is made of metal, inserted from the opening of the lamp casing 3 and installed therein. The heat conducting plate 4 is provided with an upward extended circumferential wall 40 having an outer curved surface 400. When the heat conducting plate 4 is inserted downward into the lamp casing 3 to a certain level, the outer curved surface 400 is to tightly contact with the curved surface 340 of the lamp casing 3, so that the heat conducting plate 4 can not only stably rest in the lamp casing 3, but also effectively transfer heat produced by LED bulbs to the lamp casing 3 to swiftly scatter out. And with the positioning projections 32 locked with the circumferential wall 40 of the heat conducting plate 4, the heat conducting plate 4 can be further fixed with the lamp casing 3, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Furthermore, the heat conducting plate 4 is additionally provided with an upright bar 42 located on the bottom wall for interlocking with a positioning hole 50 of the circuit board 5, and two bolt holes 43 to be screwed with bolts 430. So the circuit board 5 can be fixedly positioned on the heat conducting plate 4.
  • The circuit board 5 is positioned on the heat conducting plate 4 to be laid with LED diodes 51 to light up. Or, as shown in FIG. 6, the heat conducting plate 4 and the circuit board 5 can be integrally made as a whole one to save cost, wherein the heat conducting plate 4 is replaced with a heat conducting plate 4A made of insulation materials, with LED diodes laid on it.
  • The bulb hood 6 is capped on the lamp casing 3, provided with an inward circumferential wall 60 flatly extended inward from the bottom edge, and a downward circumferential wall 61 extended downward from the inward circumferential wall 60. As shown in FIG. 3, a glue 8 can be coated on the inward circumferential wall 60 and the downward circumferential wall 61 to fasten the bulb hood 6 with the lamp casing 3. Or, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a hook 62 is extended outward from the downward circumferential wall 61 to combine with the combining circumferential wall 36 of the lamp casing 3, with the bulb hood 6 combined with the lamp casing 3.
  • With the lamp casing 3, the bulb hood 6 and the heat dispersing device assembled together in this invention, the LED bulbs can not only lower cost largely, but also maintain their deserved service life, enabling the LED bulbs to be more popular to achieve a reduction of carbon dioxide emission and save energy, more eco-friendly.
  • While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
