This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201620294211.5 with a filing date of Apr. 11, 2016. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference.
The invention relates to the technical field of aquarium lamp equipment which is specifically embodied as a circular aquarium lamp.
The existing aquarium lighting is composed of traditional halogen lamp or tube that is energy consuming, especially halogen lamp. Besides, these lamps are usually much bigger and thicker when they are made of halogen bulb or tube. It makes the lamp look much bigger than the fish tank especially when the size of the fish tank is small. Esthetically speaking, it leaves people with a gloomy feeling; therefore it reduces the effect of appreciation. Although these tubes also have monochromatic light tube such as red, green, blue and yellow etc., yet it is difficult to include them in one lamp. Meanwhile, traditional aquarium lighting possesses the feature of dull color, high energy-consumption, large size, single function, diffusing beams, low-density and unnatural water shadow. On the other hand, traditional lamps use the 220 alternating current as the power source, and while most of these lamps are not waterproof, it poses a security liability when it is placed close to the water tank.
Recently, some new LED lamps have overcome the shortcomings of traditional lamps to some extent, but most of them are not equipped with the function of intelligent light-control and mobile wireless control. It is still difficult to adjust the lamp's brightness and color, switch automatically or intelligently the luminance and simulate the natural light and operate conveniently. Furthermore, the lighting power is generally not high enough, so is t he brightness.
The current technology is unable to meet the needs of the hobbyists. In order to solve the above mentioned problems, this invention has brought forth a circular aquarium lamp that contains six colors such as white, red, yellow, blue, green and purple, and that it is able to adjust the brightness of the LED lights singly or simultaneously. This lighting installation uses the white light and blue light as the main light source, wherein the white light is suitable for most lighting requirements. With the help of the additional blue lights, it may simulate sea color which is suitable to marine fishes and plants. The green and purple light are acting as the auxiliary lighting for special fishes and corals, whereas the red and yellow light are the auxiliary lighting for other fishes and plants.
To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this invention has now provided the following technical proposal: a circular aquarium lamp that comprises of a lamp body and a lamp bracket, wherein the bracket is connected with the body through a universal ball head. The body includes an upper and lower shell, an LED lamp panel and a heat-dissipating aluminum. The upper and lower shells are connected by a screw. The LED lamp panel and heat-dissipating aluminum are installed separately in a cavity that is formed between the upper and lower shell. The LED lamp panel is located under the heat-dissipating aluminum with a fan on top. A first rubber ring is set in between the LED lamp panel and a water-proof cover, whereas a second rubber ring is set in between the cover and a glass sheet. A control board is contained inside a circuit board shell which is installed in the lower shell. A third rubber ring is set in between the upper shell and a circuit board shell. A bracket diagonal rod is connected to one side of the heat-dissipating aluminum by a supporting plate. A light guiding optical fiber is implanted inside the lower shell. Under the LED lamp panel, there set a bottom cover under which a bottom cover without lens is installed. The lamp body in description also has an adapter. An intermediate plate is set in between the upper shell and lower shell. The lamp bracket includes a positioning plate, a positioning bar, a supporting plate, a lower inclined plate, an upper inclined plate, a supporting board, a universal ball head and a plate for universal ball head. The bracket diagonal rod is connected to one side of the universal ball head through a threaded rod. The universal ball head forms a 45° degree angle with the lamp body. The plate for universal ball head and the supporting board are installed together onto the other side of t he universal ball head. The supporting board is fixedly connected to the upper inclined plate through screws, the upper inclined plate is fixedly connected to the lower inclined plate by screws; the lower inclined plate is fixedly connected to the supporting plate by screws; the supporting plate is fixedly connected to the positioning plate by screws; the positioning bar is placed inside the positioning plate and t he positioning bar is fixedly connected to the positioning plate by screws.
Firstly, the LED lamp panel is fitted with an integrated lamp beads.
Secondly, the integrated lamp beads are made up of LED red chip, LED yellow chips LED green chip, LED blue chip, LED purple chip and LED white chip, and the control board is electrically connected with LED red chip, LED yellow chip, LED green chip, LED blue chip, LED purple chip and LED white chip separately.
Thirdly, the control board is equipped with a wireless communication device fitted with a WIFI controller and mobile APP.
Additionally, the WIFI controller has an USB power supply portal.
Compared with current technology, the advantages of this invention are that the circular aquarium lamp, which possesses six colors such as white, red, yellow, blue, green and purple, is able to adjust the brightness of various LED lights singly or simultaneously. The lighting system has adopted white light and blue light as the main light source, wherein the white light is fit for most lighting requirements. In addition, the blue light may simulate sea light that fits the marine fishes and plants. The green light and purple light are the auxiliary lighting for special fishes and corals, whereas the red light and yellow light have the same function for other fishes and plants. The lamp which is convenient to use may be set in advance to switch its brightness automatically through the control chip of the PCB control panel. Moreover, the lamp is not only able to simulate various lighting effects such as sunrise and sunset, day and night, cloudy weather and thunder and cloud colors etc. but to adjust the frequency of lightning and flowing clouds. The lamp is of strong practicability. The radiator adopts strong convective heat-dissipating design, thereby enhancing greatly the cooling effect. The fan will be turned on automatically to adjust the temperature when it is relatively high, improving the heat-dissipating performance. The lamp body control chip will cut off the power automatically when the temperature exceeds the preset temperature, and it will resume power after the temperature returns back to normal, doubling the security level for the lamp. Set on the exterior of the lamp, there is a blue pilot aperture which is able to simulate the moonlight reflection effect that makes the lamp body more beautiful. Connected by a universal ball head, the angle of the lamp body and bracket can be regulated within a certain degree, making it more convenient. The lamp body and bracket are contacted directly by a threaded rod on one side of the universal ball head, and the radian of the supporting board and lamp body are in close proximity, creating the effect of dangling, thus making the lamp more attractive. Compared with traditional tubes and halogen lamps, there are more installation methods available for the lamp, so it can be installed according to different requirements in proper places. With the wireless device and WIFI controller, it may realize the function of adjusting the light via mobile APP, consequently it is more flexible to use and control. In contrast to traditional lamp lights which produce low-density and unnatural water shadows, this invention adopts the latest fish tanks' LED lighting device that has a high-power integrated LED light source which simulates and produces natural sun lights, thus it makes a perfect replacement for traditional halogen tungsten lamps and metal halides. Because of the thin and light constructer and attractive appearance, the lamp is of strong practicability and easy to popularize and use.
