Sometimes, the lamp body of LED lamps are often made of plastic-metal composite materials, and to facilitate manufacture and the assembly of a metal inner shell and a plastic outer shell, a plastic-metal composite lamp body is often small, which leads to a small heat dissipation area, thus reducing the heat dissipation efficiency.
The disclosure provides a heat dissipation structure for a lamp; a base cup 1 and a supporting top cover 2 are both made of metal. The base cup 1 and the supporting top cover 2 are either made of the same metal or made of different metals. For example, the base cup 1 is made of aluminum alloy, and the support top cover 2 is made of copper alloy. To achieve a good heat conduction effect between the base cup 1 and the supporting top cover 2, in this example, as illustrated in
In order to ensure the heat dissipation efficiency on the premise that the manufacturing cost is reduced, in this example, a base cup heat dissipation housing 3 and a top cover heat dissipation housing 4 are made of thermally conductive plastic, which may be graphite-filled PC plastic, or metal powder-filled PPS plastic, etc., as long as the thermally conductive plastic has high thermal conductivity. As illustrated in
Because both the base cup heat dissipation housing 3 and the top cover heat dissipation housing 4 are made of thermally conductive plastic, they can be easily molded and shaped, so that a heat dissipation fin structure illustrated in
In the present disclosure, the supporting top cover 2 and the base cup 1 are connected by interference fitting to form an internal heat conduction structure, and the heat is transferred to the outside by the top cover heat dissipation housing 4 which corresponds to the supporting top cover 2 and the base cup heat dissipation housing 3 which corresponds to the base cup 1. By jointing two groups of components to form an entire lamp body and each group of components is smaller than the entire lamp body, the heat dissipation area is increased while low manufacture and assembly difficulty is ensured, thereby realizing the technical effect of increasing the heat dissipation efficiency.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
In an LED bulb, the main heating source includes an LED light source in addition to the driving module and other structures arranged inside the lamp body. In order to increase the heat dissipation efficiency and ensure the light output ratio, in this example, the supporting top cover 2 is provided with a protruding part 24 for supporting the LED light source. As illustrated in
As illustrated in
In order to fix the LED light source on the protruding part 24, as illustrated in
When the connecting element 500 is detachably connected to the cooperated-connecting element 244, the claw part 52 extends in a direction opposite to a protruding direction of the protruding part 24 and is close to the base 240, in this way, in a situation that an LED light source plate or LED light source belt is attached to the base 240, the claw part 52 can cooperate with the base 240 to clamp the LED light source, thus improving its stability.
