Based on the described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be within the scope of the invention.
Unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have normal meanings understood by those skilled in the art.

An LED lighting device 100 is provided. As illustrated in
In the above structure, the lens component 130 and the clamping structure 171 are integrally formed. The light transmittance, the mechanical performance and the outdoor performance of materials must be considered during the selection of the materials of the lens component 130. The clamping structure will be usually deformed and requires good hardness, strength and elasticity. Therefore, if the lens component 130 and the clamping structure 171 are integrally formed, the materials for manufacturing the lens component and the clamping structure have less variety. In addition, as the clamping structure 171 and the lens component 130 are integrally formed, different products need multiple integrally formed molds of the clamping structure and the lens component, so the cost of the integrally formed molds is high, and the mold-repair cost is also high. Moreover, in order to ensure the sealability, the gasket 140 is pressed, and a middle part of the lens component 130 can be easily protruded towards the direction away from the LED element 120 under the action of the clamping structure 171 and the gasket 140. The lens 131 in the lens component 130 is mainly used for providing light distribution for the LED element 120. The deformation of the lens component 130 will directly affect the accuracy of light distribution, and hence affect the performances of the LED lighting device 100.
The embodiment of the present invention provides an LED lighting device, which comprises: a base having a mounting surface; LED elements disposed on the mounting surface of the base; a lens component disposed on a side of the mounting surface of the base; a gasket disposed between the base and the lens component, so that the LED elements can be disposed in an area encircled by the gasket; and a fixing element, including a first part which is disposed on a side of the lens component opposite to the base and faces a part of the lens component, and a second part extended from the first part and connected with the base, and the first part of the fixing element is configured to apply a pressure towards the base to the lens component. In the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing element and the lens component are separate components; the fixing elements are only required to have good elasticity and high strength; and the requirements of elasticity and strength on the lens component are reduced. Thus, the range of optional materials for manufacturing the lens component is increased. In addition, as the fixing element and the lens component are separate components, the fixing element and the lens component may be respectively formed; only one set of mold of the fixing element is required; and molds corresponding to lens components of different products are independently designed and manufactured. Thus, the molds for manufacturing the fixing element and the lens component are simplified, and the cost of manufacturing and repairing the molds is reduced.
In some embodiments of the present invention, taking the gasket as a fulcrum, the absolute value of the force moment applied to the lens component by the first part of the fixing element on the inner side of the gasket is greater than or equal to the absolute value of the force moment applied to the lens component by the first part of the fixing element on the outer side of the gasket.
The LED lighting device and the assembly method thereof, provided by at least one embodiment of the present invention, can avoid the problem that the middle part of the lens component is easily protruded.
For example, taking the gasket 240 as a fulcrum, the absolute value of the force moment applied to the lens component 230 by the first part 251 of the fixing element 250 on the inner side of the gasket 240 is greater than or equal to the absolute value of the force component applied to the lens component 230 by the first part 251 of the fixing element 250 on the outer side of the gasket 240.
As illustrated in
In the structure as illustrated in
The description that the absolute value of the force moment applied to the lens component 230 by the first part 251 of the fixing element 250 on the inner side of the gasket 240 is greater than the absolute value of the force moment applied to the lens component 230 by the first part 251 of the fixing element 250 on the outer side of the gasket 240 may be that: the first part 251 only makes contact with the lens component 230 on the inner side of the gasket or directly above the gasket, namely a downward pressing force is only applied to the lens component 230 on the inner side of the gasket (at this point, it can be seen that the force moment applied by the first part 251 on the outer side of the gasket is 0); and may also be that: the first part 251 makes contact with the lens component 230 on both the outer side and the inner side of the gasket, but the applied force moment satisfies the above relationship. No special limitation will be given here in the embodiment of the present invention. From another point of view, if the forces applied by the first part 251 to the lens component 230 are combined into one three, the action point of the resulting force is disposed on the inner side of the gasket or directly above the gasket, so as to ensure that the middle part of the lens component 230 cannot be protruded upwards by the pressing of the fixing elements 250.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the above force moment relationship between the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 is satisfied at each section perpendicular to the gasket 240, so as to further ensure that the middle part of the lens component 230 cannot be protruded upwards.
In the description, “disposed directly above the gasket” refers to being overlapped with the position of the gasket in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface of the base and being disposed on a side of the lens component 230 opposite to the base. In the description, the inner side and the outer side of the gasket are directions in parallel to a plane of the mounting surface of the base 210; an area encircled by the gasket may be referred to as the inner side of the gasket; and an area on the outside of the gasket may be referred to as the outer side of the gasket.
For example, the LED element 220, for example, is an individually packaged LED lamp bead, an integrated LED source or an LED chip.
For example, the base 210 is a lamp housing or a radiator, and the mounting surface 211 of the base 210 is used for mounting the LED element 220. The LED element 220 may be directly disposed on the base 210. The LED elements may also be disposed on a printed circuit board (PCB) to form a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) provided with the LED element, and then the PCBA is disposed on the base 210. No specific limitation is given to the base 210 in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the base may be a hard substrate, on which the LED element 220 is directly disposed; and may also be a superimposed structure including a PCB and a radiator structure.
For example, the lens component 230 may be provided with a strengthening rib or partially thickened to prevent the lens component 230 for being deformed. The material of the lens component 230 is, for example, polycarbonate (PC) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
For example, the fixing element 250, for example, may be a gland, a radiator or a lamp housing. The fixing element 250, for example, may be made from transparent materials or metallic materials having the advantages of easy production, low cost and good mechanical performance.
For example, the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 are separate components. If the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 are integrally formed, elastic deformation is needed when the fixing element and the lens component are clamped with the base 210, so the good elasticity and high strength are required. Thus, the materials for manufacturing the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 have less variety. If the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 are separate components, only the fixing element 250 is required to have good elasticity and high strength, and the requirements on the elasticity and the strength of the lens component 230 are reduced. Therefore, the range of optional materials for manufacturing the lens component 230 is increased, so different materials may be adopted to manufacture the lens component 230 according to different performance requirements. For example, when the flame retardancy requirement is high, glass or the like having high flame retardancy but poor elasticity may be adopted. For example, when the strength requirement is high, organic glass materials or inorganic glass materials with high strength but poor elasticity may be adopted. For example, when the light transmittance requirement is high, PMMA materials with high transmittance but poor strength may be adopted.
For example, if the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 are integrally formed, different products require multiple integrally formed molds of the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230; the cost of the integrally formed molds of the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 is high; and the mold-repair cost is also high. If the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 are separate components, the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 are respectively formed; only one set of mold of the fixing element 250 is required; and molds corresponding to lens components 230 of different products are individually designed and manufactured. Thus, the molds for manufacturing the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 are simplified, and the cost of manufacturing and repairing the molds is reduced.
For example, the gasket 240 is, for example, a closed ring; the sectional shape of the gasket is, for example, circular, T-shaped, 7-shaped, etc.; and the material of the gasket 240 is, for example, silica gel, rubber or other elastic materials.
For example, the gasket 240 and the lens component 230 and the base 210 are in interference fit, so that the gasket 240 can be deformed and pressed between the lens component 230 and the base 210. That is to say, the distance between a surface of a position of the lens component 230 contacting with the gasket 240 and a surface of a position of the base 210 contacting the gasket 240 is less than the original size of the gasket 240 when not pressurized in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 211 of the base 210. That is to say, the gasket 240 is pressed between the lens component 230 and the base 210, subjected to elastic deformation, and tightly attached to surfaces of the lens component 230 and the base 210. The interference fit is favorable for the forming of the sealed accommodating space.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, the first part 251 of the fixing element 250 is an annular structure and set to be partially opposite to the periphery of the lens component 230, namely the first part 251 of the fixing element 250 is set to be partially overlapped with the periphery of the lens component in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface of the base. The structure is favorable for achieving uniform force of the lens component 230 and ensuring good sealability of the accommodating space.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, in a mutually facing area of the first part 251 of the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230, a protrusion 251 is formed on one of a surface of the first part 251 of the fixing element 250 facing the lens component 230 and a surface of the lens component 230 facing the first part 251 of the fixing element 250, and a first recess 262 is formed on the other one; and the protrusion 261 is embedded into the first recess 262. For example, in the embodiment as illustrated in
For example, the protrusion 261 and the first recess 262 are disposed on the inner side of the gasket 240 or directly above the gasket 240. In the embodiment provided with the protrusion 261 and the first recess 262, due to the setting of the protrusion 261 and the first recess 262, the mutual positional relationship between the fixing element 250 and the lens component 230 can be stable.
For example, the protrusion 261 may be an annular structure; or a plurality of protrusions 261 is provided, and the protrusions 261 are spaced from each other and arranged along the extension direction of the annular structure of the fixing element; and the first recess 262 is an annular recess matched with the protrusion 261, or is a plurality of recesses arranged at intervals and corresponding to the plurality of protrusions 261. For example, the protrusion 261 having the annular structure and the annular recess 262 provide convenience for assembly.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion 261 is disposed on the first part 251 of the fixing element 250, and the first recess 262 is disposed in the lens component.
For example, the first recess 262 may also be disposed in the first part 251 of the fixing element 250, and the protrusion 261 is disposed on the lens component 230.
For example, the protrusion 261 is, for example, a stepped protrusion, and the first recess 262 is, for example, a stepped recess engaged with the stepped protrusion.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, a mutually matched clamping structure 271 is formed by the second part 252 of the fixing element 250 and the base 210, so as to connect the second part 252 to the base 210. No special limitation is given to the specific form of the clamping structure 271 in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, as illustrated in
For example, the second part 251 of the fixing element 250 may be adjusted, so that parts of the second part 251 distributed at the periphery of the lighting device can have consistent size, and hence uniform acting force can be applied to the lens component by the parts of the fixing element 250. In addition, the clamping structure 271 can avoid tiny gaps formed between the gasket 240 and the lens component 230 and the base 210 due to nonuniform acting force applied to various positions of the gasket 240, and hence avoid water vapor from entering the closed space formed by the lens component 230, the base 210 and the gasket 240 to affect the performances and the service life of the LED element 220.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, a second recess 280 is formed in at least one of mutually facing surfaces of the lens component 230 and the base 210; and the gasket 240 is disposed in the second recess 280.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, sealant 241 is disposed at the gasket 240 between the base 210 and the lens component 230. The double seal of the combination of the sealant 241 and the gasket 240 can further improve the sealability.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, the sealant 241 is disposed on the outer side of the gasket 240. The setting of the sealant 241 on the outer side of the gasket 240 can avoid the sealant 241 from polluting the LED elements 220, and hence can achieve better sealing action.
For example, the second recess 280 matched with the gasket 240 may further improve the sealability, provide convenience for the coating of the sealant, and prevent the sealant from overflowing to pollute the tens component 230 or the LED element 220.
For example, the second recess 280 is, for example, a stepped recess, and the gasket 240 is, for example, a stepped section engaged with the stepped second recess.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, the LED element 220 includes at least one LED element 220; the lens component 230 includes at least one lens 231; and the at least one LED element 220 and the at least one lens 231 are in one-to-one correspondence.
For example, each lens 231 is used for providing tight distribution for corresponding LED element 220.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, at least one part of the lens component 230 makes contact with the base 210 in an area encircled by the gasket 240.
For example, the lens component 230 and the base 210 may adopt surface bonding (for example, most bottom surface of the lens component 230 except the position of the lens is bonded to the base) and may also adopt point bonding. When the lens component and the base adopt surface bonding, the deformation of the lens component 230 may be almost ignored; but during mass production, the manufacturing accuracy requirement is high, so the production cost can be increased. When the lens component and the base adopt point bonding, the lens component 230 tends to be subjected to local deformation; but the manufacturing accuracy requirement is low, so the production cost can be reduced. In actual production, the mode of surface bonding or point bonding may be adopted according to the specific requirements of products, or the mode of combining local surface bonding and point bonding may also be adopted.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, the lens component 230 is a transparent plate member provided with the lens 231.
The integral annular structure of the second part 252 can achieve uniform force on the gasket 240, and hence achieve good sealing effect.
In the embodiment as illustrated in
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of second subparts is uniformly distributed at the periphery of the lens component 230. The uniform distribution of the plurality of second subparts can achieve uniform force on the gasket 240, and hence achieve good sealing effect.
However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the modes that the fixing element 250 as illustrated in
No matter the second part of the fixing element 250 includes a plurality of separate opening structures or includes an integral annular structure (clamping structure), when the fixing element 250 and the base 210 are combined, the fixing element and the base may be simultaneously combined at various positions at the periphery of the base. Thus, the fixing element 250 may apply uniform pressure to the periphery of the lens component 230, so as to avoid tiny gaps between the gasket and the lens component and the base due to nonuniform deformation of the gasket caused by nonuniform pressure.
For example, in the LED lighting device 200 provided by one embodiment of the present invention, the LED lighting device is an LED module or an LED lamp. When the LED lighting device is an LED module, the LED lighting device may be mounted into a lamp housing to form an LED lamp.
In the schematic plan view as illustrated in
One embodiment of the present invention further provides an LED lighting device 200. As illustrated in
For example, the planar structure of the LED lighting device is a circular structure. The connection between the fixing element 250 and the base 210 adopts threaded connection and is suitable for the assembly of the lighting device with the circular structure.
For example, the threaded structure 272 includes internal threads and external threads. The internal threads are formed on the inner side of the second part of the fixing element facing the base, and the external threads are formed on the side surface of the base facing the second part. The external threads are engaged with the internal threads formed on the inner side of the second part facing the base.
For example, in the mounting process, uniform pressure is applied to the lens component by the fixing element by utilization of the connection mode of the threaded structure 272, so as to avoid tiny gaps formed between the gasket 240 and the lens component 230 and the base 210 caused by nonuniform acting force applied to various positions of the gaskets, and hence avoid water vapor from entering the closed space formed by the lens component 230, the base 210 and the gasket 240 to affect the performances and the service life of the LED element 220. Moreover, the design and production difficulties of the threaded structure 272 is low; the lens component 230 may be directly positioned on the base 210; and the fixing element 250 and the base 210 do not affect the relative position between the lens component 230 and the base 210 during tightening and fixing, so as to ensure good light distribution performance of the lens 231 in the lens component 230 and the LED element 220.
Other structures of the LED lighting device provided by the second embodiment are similar to those in the LED lighting device provided by the first embodiment and may refer to the description in the first embodiment. No further description will be given here.
For example, one embodiment of the present invention further provides an LED lighting device 200. As illustrated in
For example, as illustrated in
For example, as illustrated in
For example, the fastener 273A and the fastener 273B may be a screw, which may be screwed into a hole with internal threads in the base and fixed. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. The fastener 273A and the fastener 273B may adopt any suitable fastening mode.
For example, a pre-fixing member (not illustrated in the figure) may also be disposed on the second part 252 of the fixing element 250 and the base 210. The pre-fixing member, for example, includes a pin and a pin hole. In some embodiments, the second part 252 of the fixing element 250 is provided with a pin hole for a pin to run through, and the base is also provided with a pin hole for the pin to be inserted and fixed. In the embodiment as illustrated in
For example, when the fastener 273B is fixed on the side surface of the base 210, the influence on the position and the shape of the gasket 240 is small; the force applied to the gasket 240 will not be nonuniform due to different screwed forces of the fastener 273B; and the influence on the sealability of the gasket 240 can be avoided. In addition, the fixing element 273 has simple structure and low cost.
Other structures of the LED lighting device provided by the third embodiment are similar to those of the LED lighting device provided by the first embodiment and may refer to the description in the first embodiment. No further description will be given here.
The first, second and third embodiments respectively enumerate the case that the second part of the fixing element is connected with the base through the clamping structure, the threaded structure or the fastener. But the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and other connection modes may also be adopted.
The embodiment of the present invention further provides an assembly method of the LED lighting device. As illustrated in
For example, the assembly method of the LED lighting device, provided by one embodiment of the present invention, can avoid the influence on the sealability by the deformation of the gasket under the action of gravity.
For example, the second part of the fixing element and the base are, for example, connected with each other through clamped connection, threaded connection or a fastener. The connection structure may refer to the foregoing embodiment. No further description will be given here. In the connecting process, in the embodiment adopting clamped connection, for example, the integral clamping structure or the plurality of separate clamping structure are simultaneously connected to the base, so that the force applied to the lens component by the fixing element can be uniform. In addition, in the embodiment adopting the connection via the fastener, before the connection between the second part of the fixing element and the base, the pin may also be inserted into the pin holes of the second part of the fixing element and the base after the base is pressed, so that the positions of the fixing element, the lens component and the base can be relatively fixed (pre-fixing step), and subsequently, the fastener is adopted for fixing. For example, a plurality of pins may be uniformly distributed at the periphery of the base and may be simultaneously inserted and fixed.
For example, in the assembly method of the LED lighting device, provided by one embodiment of the present invention, in a mutually facing area of the first part of the fixing element and the lens component, a protrusion is formed on one of a surface of the first part of the fixing element facing the lens component and a surface of the lens component facing the first part of the fixing element, and a first recess is formed on the other one. In the step of disposing the lens component on the fixing elements, the protrusion is embedded into the first recess.
For example, in the assembly method of the LED fighting device, provided by one embodiment of the present invention, before the step of disposing the base on the lens component, and the gasket, the method further comprises: disposing sealant at the gasket on the lens component.
For example, the double seal of the combination of the sealant and the gasket can further improve the sealability.
For example, in the assembly method of the LED lighting device, provided by one embodiment of the present invention, the sealant is disposed on the outer side of the gasket.
For example, the setting of the sealant on the outer side of the gasket can avoid the sealant from polluting the LED element.
For example, in the assembly method of the LED lighting device, provided by one embodiment of the present invention, a second recess matched with the gasket is formed on the lens component; and the gasket is disposed in the second recess.
