Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of automobile lamps, and in particular, to a new automobile LED headlamp.


BACKGROUND

Automobile LED headlamps generally refer to the front headlights, which are lighting devices installed on both sides of the head of a car for illuminating the road during night driving. The automobile LED headlamps use LED light sources, which not only saves energy, has high luminous efficiency and low energy consumption, but also is environmentally friendly, and meets the current social requirements. As the “eyes” of a car, the automobile LED headlamps not only relate to the external image of a car owner, but also has close relation to the safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions.


The heat dissipation performance of the automobile LED headlamps is one of the important factors affecting their service life. Therefore, heat sinks are usually installed on the automobile LED headlamps to improve the heat dissipation performance of the headlamps. However, the current heat sinks installed on the automobile LED headlamps generally have poor heat conduction and heat dissipation effects. Moreover, the structural design is not reasonable enough and the degree of integration is low, resulting in a relatively large space occupied by the lamp body. Therefore, there is an urgent need for improvement.


SUMMARY

The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a new automobile LED headlamp to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background.


In order to achieve the above objectives, the present disclosure provides the following technical solutions: a new automobile LED headlamp, which includes a metal lamp holder, an LED lamp body, a heat sink, heat dissipation fins, and a heat-conducting tube structure. The LED lamp body is provided on both sides of the metal lamp holder. The LED lamp body is connected with the metal lamp holder by bolts. The heat sink is fixed at one end of the metal lamp holder and the heat sink is internally provided with an arc-shaped groove. The heat dissipation fins are evenly distributed on an outer wall of the heat sink. The heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected with the heat sink. The heat-conducting tube structure is provided on one side of the metal lamp holder.


Preferably, the heat sink is of an arc-shaped structure, which optimizes the structure of the heat sink.


Preferably, a base is fixed at one side of the heat sink away from the metal lamp holder, which facilitates the installation of a heat dissipation fan.


Preferably, the heat dissipation fan is installed on a surface of the base, which accelerates the air flow to carry away heat.


Preferably, the heat-conducting tube structure includes a straight tube section. The straight tube section is provided on one side of the metal lamp holder, and the straight tube section is fixedly connected with the metal lamp holder, which facilitates heat transfer.


Preferably, the heat-conducting tube structure further includes a curved tube section. The curved tube section is provided on one side of the straight tube section; the curved tube section is integrated with the straight tube section; and one end of the curved tube section away from the straight tube section runs through the arc-shaped groove and is fixedly connected with the heat sink, which facilitates the introduction of heat into the interior of the heat sink.


Compared with the related art, the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects: the new automobile LED headlamp not only enhances the heat conduction and heat dissipation effects, prolongs the service life of the automobile LED headlamp, but also optimizes the heat dissipation structure, and have high degree of integration, compact structure, small space occupation, and strong practicality.


By providing the heat sink, the heat dissipation fins, the base, the heat dissipation fan, and the heat-conducting tube structure, the heat generated during the operation of the LED lamp body is transferred to the straight tube section through the metal lamp holder. The straight tube section then transfers the heat to the curved tube section. The arrangement of the heat dissipation fins increases the heat dissipation area, and the heat dissipation fins are made of an aluminum material and have good heat conduction property. The heat dissipation fan on the surface of the base operates to accelerate the air flow to quickly carry away heat, thereby enhancing the heat conduction and heat dissipation effects, and prolonging the service life of the automobile LED headlamps. Moreover, the automobile LED headlamps optimize the heat dissipation structure, and have high degree of integration, compact structure, small space occupation, and strong practicality.
