Description
- The present invention relates to a LED lighting device of the type described in the preamble of Claim 1.
- There are currently known LEDs (acronym for light emitting diode) recently used to light various spaces, such as: domestic spaces, offices, open spaces such as squares and gardens and the like.
- LED lighting devices have various advantages with respect to more conventional lighting devices, such as incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps.
- In particular, LEDs have a very small volume, even less than one cm3, very high efficiency, produce a light that can obtain a desired colour, switch on very quickly when energized by electrical current and so forth.
- As well as said advantages, LED lighting devices also have some considerable drawbacks.
- In fact, having powers of over one Watt, LED lighting devices can become very hot due to their small volume.
- This heating can cause rapid deterioration of the chip associated with this LED and thus deterioration of the LED, which decreases in efficiency and other features.
- In this situation the technical aim of the present invention is to devise a LED lighting device capable of substantially overcoming the aforesaid drawbacks.
- Within said technical aim an important object of the invention is to achieve a support structure for LED lighting devices which allows optimum heat dissipation. Some support structure, not able to completely overcome the said drawbacks, is described in patent applications:
WO-A-2007/143991 ,JP-A-2004- 296245 US-A-2003/224687 ,US-A-2004/156199 ,US-A-2009/040776 andUS-A-7434964 . - Another important object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensive LED lighting device.
- The technical aim and the objects specified are achieved by a LED lighting device as claimed in the appended claim 1.
- Preferred embodiments are highlighted in the dependent claims.
- Other characteristics and advantages of the invention are further elucidated in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
Fig. 1 shows a overall top view of the support structure according to the invention and an enlargement of a detail; -
Fig. 2 shows a side view of a detail of the support structure; -
Fig. 3 shows the normal section III-III, indicated inFig. 1 , of the support structure; and -
Fig. 4 shows the normal section IV-IV, indicated inFig. 1 , of the support structure. - With reference to the Figures, the support structure according to the invention is indicated as a whole with the number 1.
- It comprises a
rod 2 and support means 3, suitable to support at least oneLED 4. -
Several LEDs 4 can also be provided for asingle rod 2. - The
rod 2 is circular and hollow and has an outer surface with a normal section preferably substantially circular. It is made a metal material with high thermal conductivity, such as in particular: copper, aluminium, silver, gold or their alloys and more preferably copper alloy nickel plated on the surface. - The
rod 2 then comprises an internal hollow 2a also circular and conveniently coaxial with the outer surface (Fig. 3 ). - The
hollow rod 2 also preferably has an external diameter of between 2 mm and 6 mm, and preferably between 2 mm and 4 mm, and a diameter of the internal hollow 2a preferably of between 1 mm and 3 mm. Moreover, it conveniently has a length exceeding 5 cm and more preferably exceeding 10 cm and a maximum length variable to even more than 2 m. - The support means 3 is also at least partly integral and in one piece with the
rod 2. - It comprises
support surface 3a, suitable to support, preferably through interposing of a further element better defined below, at least oneLED 4 and preferably only oneLED 4. - The
support surface 3a is realized by a flattened portion of therod 2. - For example, it can be at least partly produced by partial flattening of the
rod 2. In this way any discontinuity of the material, which would realize a thermal resistance, is avoided. - In particular, a flattening along only one portion of the
rod 2 is preferred. This flattening therefore defines a substantiallyflat support surface 3 which, in the normal section (Fig. 4 ), essentially realizes a chord of the circumference defined by the outer surface of therod 2. - Moreover, as this is a plastic deformation, the entire portion of
rod 2 corresponding to thesupport surface 3a will be deformed by said flattening, as shown in a simplified manner inFig. 4 . - Finally, said flattening will achieve a reduction of section, visible in
Fig. 2 , preferably of between 10% and 50%. - The
support structure 3a preferably has a base with a width close to the diameter of therod 2 and conveniently of between 2 mm and 6 mm, and a length preferably of between 1 cm and 5 cm and more preferably between 2 cm and 3 cm. - Moreover, an opening 3b is provided in proximity of an end of the
support surface 3a, to place the inner hollow 2a of therod 2 in communication with the outer surface. It is conveniently substantially circular with a diameter close to the diameter of therod 2. - Moreover, the support means 3 is preferably not produced at an
end 2b of therod 2, but at a distance of over 5 mm from thisend 2b, as shown inFig. 1 . - This solution allows dissipation of heat along both sides in the direction of extension of the
rod 2. - The
end 2b of therod 2, close to the support means 3, therefore conveniently has an annular circular and open shape and, conveniently, also theend 2c further from the support means 3 has an annular circular and open shape so as to allow the passage of air inside the hollow 2a. - The support means 3 also comprises a
plate 8 made of a material with high thermal conductivity, as specified above and more in particular of aluminium alloy. - The
plate 8 is fixed directly to thesupport surface 3a and preferably has base dimensions similar to those of thissupport surface 3a, or between 3 and 5 mm and between 2 and 3 cm, and a height preferably between 0.5 and 2 mm. - It is conveniently fixed to the
support surface 3a by means of releasable mechanical connections, such as twoscrews 11 disposed in proximity of the ends of theplate 8. - This solution makes it possible to avoid the presence of glues, which could reduce heat transmission between the
plate 8 and therod 2. - Moreover, elements such as conductive pastes and the like can be present between
plate 8 andsupport surface 3a or alternatively a conductive weld or double-sided adhesive tape could be provided. - The
plate 8 is therefore conveniently the portion of the support means 3 suitable to support theLED 4. - The
LED 4 is realized by a printedcircuit 4a and a bulb, or primary lens, 4b. - The printed
circuit 4a is conveniently substantially rectangular and has base dimensions of between 1 mm and 5 mm. - The
bulb 4b is made of polymer or silicone material or glass and preferably has an external diameter of between 0.3 mm and 3 mm and more preferably between 1.5 mm and 2 mm. Moreover, it has a substantially semi-spherical shape. - The

- The
LED 4 is also connected to an electrical power source through electrical connections 5 suitable to supply power to thisLED 4. - It comprises at least one
conductor wire 6, and preferably two, covered with a sheath, or braid, 7 made of polymer material and preferably polyester, or alternatively, not covered. - The
conductor wires 6 are disposed at least partly inside therod 2 and, in proximity of the opening 3b, have no sheath 7. - These
conductor wires 6 without the sheath 7 then pass through the opening 3b and connect, mechanically and electrically, to at least oneclamping element 9. Preferably, twoclamping elements 9 are present, one for eachwire 6, disposed on theplate 8 and realized by welds suitable to support and clamp thesewires 6. - The
clamping elements 9 also connect thewires 6 of at least oneconnection element 10. - The
connection elements 10, also preferably two in number, are connected directly to theLED 4 and preferably realized by two electrical connections in conductive material realized by two flat elements, as shown inFig. 1 . - The
plate 8, including theconnection elements 10 conveniently disposed on the surface, is finally preferably coated with white paint along the outer surface. The support structure 1 according to the invention achieves important advantages. - In fact, due to the particular shape, this structure 1 allows optimum heat dispersion through the
rod 2, which allows theLED 4 always to be maintained at optimum temperatures so as to prevent deterioration or overheating thereof. - The heat is dispersed in particular by the hollow and annular shape of the
rod 2 and by the material with high thermal conductivity. - In particular, the heat is diffused on both sides of the
rod 2, due to the fact that the support means 3 are positioned at one end of therod 2. - Moreover, the structure of the
rod 2 allows air to circulate inside the hollow 2a, as theends - Moreover, the structure of the
rod 2 allows air to circulate inside the hollow 2a, as theends LED 2. - Furthermore, the structure 1 is easily deformable in an axial direction and therefore allows the
rod 2 to be shaped as required. - Yet another advantage is given by the fact that the structure 1 does not have exposed cables which can give the structure an unsightly appearance.
