As illustrated in FIGS. 1-2, an LED lamp 100 of the present disclosure includes a lamp holder 10, a connection portion 20 connected with the lamp holder 10 and a lampshade 80 mounted on the connection portion 20. The connection portion 20 and the lampshade 80 define a first cavity 90. A driver 30, a connecting base 40, a supporting pillar 50, a plurality of filaments 60 and a plurality of wire frames 70 are received in the first cavity 90.


The LED lamp 100 has an axis L. The lamp holder 10, the connection portion 20, the driver 30, the connecting base 40, the supporting pillar 50 and the lampshade 80 are symmetrical about the axis L.


The lamp holder 10 is made of mental material. The lamp holder 10 is substantially cylinder-shaped. An outer surface of the lamp holder 10 forms a plurality of screw threads 11 for coupling the lamp holder 10 with a socket of power.


The connection portion 20 can be made of plastic. The connection portion 20 is substantially cone-shaped and has a second cavity 200. An outer diameter of the connection portion 20 increases from an end connected with the lamp holder 10 to another end connected with the lampshade 80 thereof. An outer surface of the connection portion 20 defines a plurality of grooves 21 along the circumferential direction for improving cooling efficiency of the connection portion 20. Widths of the grooves 21 are equal and depths of the grooves 21 increases from the end connecting with the connection portion 20 to the other end thereof. An interval spaced between each two adjacent grooves 21 is coincident.


The driver 30 is substantially cylinder-shaped. The driver 30 is received in the second cavity 200 to couple with the lamp holder 10.


The connecting base 40 located at a top center of the driver 30. The connecting base 40 is cone-shaped. The connecting base 40 has a bottom surface 42 coupled with the driver 30 and a top surface 41 located opposite to the bottom surface 42. A diameter of the bottom surface 42 is larger than that of the top surface 41 of the connecting base 40. A diameter of the connecting base 40 decreases gradually from the bottom surface 42 to the top surface 41. The bottom surface 42 is coupled with the driver 30 and the top surface 41 is coupled with the wire frames 70 and the filaments 60.


The supporting pillar 50 is substantially cylinder-shaped and is located on the top surface 41 of the connecting base 40. An outer diameter of the supporting pillar 50 is equal to the diameter of the top surface 41 of the connecting base 40. The supporting pillar 50 can be made of insulation material. In the illustrated embodiment, the supporting pillar 50 is made of glass material. The supporting pillar 50 is configured to fix the wire frames 70 thereon.


As illustrated in FIG. 3, the filaments 60 are elongated tubular shape. Each of the filaments 60 includes a wick 61 and two electrode 62 extended from two ends of the wick 61 and coupled with the wick 61. Each wick 61 includes a plurality of LEDs coupled to each other in series connection or parallel connection. A number and a color of each LED can be configured according to a actually demand. The filaments 60 are coupled with the wires frames 70 through the electrodes 62 and are coupled with the driver 30 by the wire frames 70.


The filaments 60 surround the supporting pillar 50 and are spaced from the supporting pillar 50. The filaments 60 are spaced from each other and are interlaced each other. Each two of the filaments 60 and the supporting pillar 50 are configured in different planes. Thus, each filament 60 and the supporting pillar 50 define a space angle. Specifically and hypothetically, if moving the supporting pillar 50 in parallel to intersect one of the filament 60 in the same plane, the supporting pillar 50 and the filament 60 define an angle A. The angle A is in a range of 30° and 50°. The angle A defined between each filament 60 and the supporting pillar 50 can be the same. It can be understood that the angle A defined between each filament 60 and the supporting pillar 50 differ from each other.


Also as illustrated in FIG. 3, the number of the filaments 60 is four, each filament 60 and the supporting pillar 50 define the angle A. Generally, each filament 60 has an axis L1. Define an imaginary axis L0 parallel with the axis L and define the imaginary axis L0 configured at the same plane with the axis L1. Thus, the axis L1 and the axis L0 define the angle A. The angle A is in a range of 30° and 50°.


The wire frames 70 are respectively located at and coupled with two ends of the supporting pillar 50. The wire frames 70 include a plurality of first wire frames 71 and a plurality of second frames 72. The first wire frames 71 are coupled with bottom edges of the supporting pillar 50 and connected with the top surface 41 of the connecting base 40. The second frames 72 are coupled with top edges of the supporting pillar 50.


In the illustrated embodiment, the number of the first wire frames 71 is two. The two first wire frames 71 are symmetrical about the supporting pillar 50. The number of the second wire frames 72 is two. The two second wire frames 72 are also symmetrical about the supporting pillar 50. Each first wire frame 71 includes a main portion 711 and two extending portion 712 extending vertically from two ends of the main portion 711. The extending portions 712 extend towards the same direction. Accordingly, each second wire frame 72 includes a main portion 721 and two extending portion 722 extending vertically from two ends of the main portion 721. The extending portions 722 of the each second wire frame 72 extend towards the same direction. The main portions 711 and the extending portions 712 of the first wire frames 71 is correspondingly parallel with the main portions 721 and the extending portions 722 of the second wire frames 72.


The filaments 60 are configured correspondingly between the first wire frames 71 and the second wire frames 72. The electrode 62 of each filament 60 couples with the extending portions 712 of the first frames 71 and the extending portions 722 of the second frames 72 respectively. Specifically, one electrode 61 of each filament 60 couples with one extending portion 721 of the second wire frame 72, and another electrode 62 couples with the extending portion 712 of the first frame 71 located diagonally at the extending portion 721 of the second wire frame 72. Thus, the filaments 60 and the supporting pillar 50 are configured crisscross in space.


The lampshade 80 locates on the connection portion 20 and covers components except the lamp holder 10 and connection portion 20 of the LED lamp 100. The lampshade 80 is made of heat dissipation material. The lampshade 80 can refract light to increase the emitting angle of the LED lamp 100. In the illustrated embodiment, the lampshade 80 and the connection portion 20 define a vacuum sealed cavity. The vacuum sealed cavity can be filled with thermal conductive gaps for heat dissipation. The thermal conductive gaps can be Helium, hydrogen, or Helium mixed with hydrogen.



FIGS. 4-7 respectively illustrates a light intensity of the LED lamp 100, while the angle A defined between the supporting pillar 50 and the filaments 60 respectively is 30°, 35°, 40° and 50°. In each FIGS. 4-7, a line corresponding to 0° shows a light intensity along the axis L of the LED lamp 100; a line corresponding to 45° shows a light intensity of an angle defined between the axis L and an outer periphery of the LED lamp 100; a line corresponding 90° shows a light intensity of the an angle defined between the axis L and an outer periphery of the LED lamp 100; a line corresponding 135° shows a light intensity of an angle defined between the axis L and an outer periphery of the LED lamp 100. Thus, the LED lamp has large emitting angle and uniform light intensity at a direction of the axis L and the outer periphery thereof.
