Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Conventional lamp and lightings are designed with a fin-like structure to dissipate heat. If these lamp or lighting structure is employed as street lamp, birds build nest on these structure and the structure will also collect dust, and this will greatly reduce the heat dissipation efficiency. Further, these structures depend on convection current to dissipate heat which is less effective and the lamp or lightings are dirty after a period of time. Further, the additional fin-like structure or the lamp increases the cost of production and the fin-like structure may not suitable for all types of lamp or lightings.


Accordingly, it is the inventor's main objective to invent a lamp or lighting which mitigates the above drawbacks. The lamp structure has a larger surface area for heat dissipation and the cost of production is greatly reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.


Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, there is shown a lamp which comprises a housing 10 mounted with a heat conduction body 11 and the heat conduction body 11 contains a light-emitting element 20, and the light-emitting element 20 is positioned on the heat conduction seat 111 of the heat conduction body 11. A light reflection hook 16 is mounted onto the light-emitting element 20. Heat generated from the light-emitting element 20 is transferred by contacting with the heat conduction body 11 such that the housing of the lamp has a large area for heat dissipation, and the interior and exterior of the housing 10 can be extended or added with a multi-layer hood 50 depending on the power of the light-emitting element 20, and can be combined with lamp or lightings of various types. The surface of the multi-layer hood 50 is provided with at least a heat dissipation slot 15 and a connection section 12. The heat dissipation slot 15 is arranged so that effective convection heat dissipation could be obtained and the heat energy is dissipated via the surface of the multi-level hood 50 by way of convection current, and a great amount of heat energy is thus dissipated.


The multi-layer hood 50 is from heat dissipation material or thin aluminum plates, and the increase in the multi-layer hood 50 is for the purpose of applications in lighting. For instance, useful in solid illumination, such as street lamps, commercial lighting, indoor lighting and landscape lightings such that the power of the lighting is increased and the light-emitting element is protected.


Accordingly, the cost of production of the lamp is lowered and the longevity of the lamp is increased.


In accordance with the present invention, the housing 10 of the lamp or the multi-layer hood 50 is provided with at least one connection portion 12 and screw hole 13 is provided at the connection portion 12 for the mounting and locking of heat dissipation material or thin aluminum plates with screws 14 so that another layer of hood 50 can be locked to the housing 10. There is a gap between the hood 50 and the housing 10 to allow natural convection current. Further, the housing 10 or the multi-layer hood 50 is provided with at least one heat dissipation slot 15 such that convection or air could be occurred and heat dissipation is achieved.


As shown in FIG. 5, the hood 50 of the present invention is combined with a cylindrical lamp 100, and the multi-layer hood 50 is a cylinder made from heat dissipation material or thin aluminum plate, and the surface of the housing 110 or the multi-layer hood 50 is provided with at least one connection section 12 with screw hole for screw 14 to mount the multi-layer hood 50 between the light-emitting element 20 and the housing 110, such that the area of heat dissipation is increased and the efficiency of heat dissipation is improved but the shape or the appearance of the lamp is not affected. Accordingly, cost for heat dissipation is reduced and the cost of manufacturing is low.


As shown in FIG. 6, the multi-layer hood 50 is combined with a conic shaped lamp 200. The hood 50 has a conic shape made from heat dissipation material or thin aluminum plate. The surface of the housing 110 or the multi-layer hood 50 is provided with at least one connection section 12 having mounted with screw hole for screw 14 to lock the multi-layer hood 50 to the housing 110, and a gap is formed between the hood 50 and the conic shaped lamp 200 to allow natural convection current. The shape and the appearance of the lamp is not affected. As mentioned earlier, the material for making the multi-layer hood 50 is thin aluminum plate and the area can be enlarged and the heat dissipation effect is increased.


It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.


While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
