Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of lighting devices, and particularly relates to a light-emitting module based on an enclosing lens cover and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The light-emitting module is a key component widely used in electronic devices such as LED lamps. However, with the increase of module power, the heat dissipation problem is increasingly significant. At present, a cast heat sink is generally used to improve the heat dissipation performance of the light-emitting module. However, due to the draft angle of the fins of the cast heat sink, the length of the fins of the cast heat sink is small, and the fin spacing is large, which cannot effectively increase the heat dissipation area, limiting the improvement of the heat dissipation effect.

[0003] Compared with the cast heat sink commonly used in the light-emitting module, the heat sink prepared from the profile does not have a draft angle, so that the heat sink can have heat dissipation fins with a larger length and a smaller spacing, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation performance. However, due to the processing reasons, the profile heat sink cannot manufacture a ring-shaped groove structure, which makes it difficult to ensure the sealing effect between the heat sink and the lens. Therefore, how to simultaneously meet the requirements of heat dissipation performance and lens sealing has become a difficult problem to be solved in the field of light-emitting modules. SUMMARY

[0047] The present application has the beneficial effects that:

[0048] 1.

Meanwhile, the present application sets an annular flange at the edge of the lens cover; the annular flange can close the end of the slot; and the annular flange and the heat sink form a first seal groove filled with sealant, which guarantees the sealing and waterproof performance of the light-emitting module (specifically, achieves the sealing effect of IP68 level or above) when using profile heat sinks.

[0049] 2. The present application fills sealant in the slots in the end fastening regions of the heat sink, which realizes sufficient sealing on the two width edges of the light-emitting module; the present application sets grooves inside the length edges of the annular flange of the lens cover, so that the two length edges of the lens cover and the heat sink automatically form a first seal groove. Filling sealant in the first seal groove realizes sufficient sealing on the two length edges of the light-emitting module; meanwhile, the sealant on the width edges and the sealant on the length edges can be integrated into a ring-shaped sealing structure, which completely closes all the gaps with the risk of leakage.

[0050] 3、The second sealing groove is arranged on the inner side of the lens cover, and provides a second sealing structure for the two length edges of the light-emitting module, thereby further improving the sealing and waterproof performance of the light-emitting module.

[0051] 4、The lens cover and the slot on the heat sink are in interference fit through the structure of the lens cover and the slot on the heat sink, which can provide tension constraint for the lens cover, so that the lens cover is not easy to deform in the long-term use, and the light distribution accuracy of the lens is improved, so that the light-emitting module maintains high light efficiency in the long-term use.

[0052] 5、The different positions of the light-emitting plate are pressed on the heat sink by the lens cover, avoiding the technical solution of using screws to fix the light-emitting plate and the heat sink, thereby avoiding the problem of warping and deformation of the PCB plate far away from the position of the screw, so that the light-emitting plate in the application can be closely attached to the heat sink at the same time, and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved.

[0053] 6、The PCB plate is pressed between the lens cover and the heat sink, and the overall stress is balanced, so that the thickness of the PCB plate can be further thinned without worrying about the deformation problem, thereby further reducing the production cost of the light-emitting module.

[0054] 7、The plug-in fastening structure is integrally formed on the lens cover, which can form interference fit between the middle position of the lens cover and the heat sink, and will not produce additional independent connecting parts, thereby simplifying the complexity of assembling the light-emitting module.

[0065] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Example 1

[0067] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a light-emitting module based on a surround-type lens cover includes a lens cover 1, a light-emitting plate 2, and a heat sink 3. The heat sink 3 is made of profile and is formed by extrusion of aluminum alloy. The two sides of the heat sink 3 are a mounting surface and a heat-dissipating surface, respectively; the lens cover 1 and the light-emitting plate 2 are disposed on the mounting surface of the heat sink 3. The heat-dissipating surface of the heat sink 3 is provided with spaced-apart heat dissipation fins. The light-emitting plate 2 is located between the lens cover 1 and the heat sink 3. The mounting surface of the heat sink 3 is tightly fitted to the light-emitting plate 2. The light-emitting plate 2 includes a PCB board and several LEDs distributed on the PCB board. Several lens units are integrally formed on the lens cover 1. The position of each lens unit corresponds to the position of each LED on the light-emitting plate 2, and is used to distribute the light emitted by the LEDs. The power supply line of the light-emitting plate 2 is led out through a wire hole in the middle of the heat sink 3. The connection between the heat sink 3 and the power supply line is sealed.

[0068] like Figure 2 and 6As shown, eight slots 3-1 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the light emitting module on the mounting surface of the heat sink 3. The length direction of the slots 3-1 is parallel to the width direction of the heat sink 3; the arrangement direction of each slot 3-1 is perpendicular to the length direction of the slot 3-1; since the heat sink 3 is a profiled material, the two ends of the slot 3-1 are communicated with the two side edges of the heat sink 3, and the length direction of the slot 3-1 is parallel to the length direction of the heat fins. The slots 3-1 are used to cooperate with the inserting pieces 1-3 on the lens cover 1 to realize the fixation of the lens cover 1 and the heat sink 3.

[0069] Along the arrangement direction of each slot 3-1, the mounting surface of the heat sink 3 is offset from the two end fastening areas 3-2 of the light emitting plate 2, and is aligned with the light emitting area 3-3 of the light emitting plate 2.

[0070] The slots 3-1 arranged at the two ends are respectively located in the end fastening areas 3-2; the remaining six slots 3-1 arranged in the middle are located in the light emitting area 3-3. The top edge of the slot 3-1 located in the light emitting area 3-3 is flush with the mounting surface of the heat sink 3.

[0071] The top edge of the slot 3-1 located in the end fastening area 3-2 is higher than the mounting surface of the heat sink 3, that is, the slot 3-1 located in the end fastening area 3-2 is formed by two spaced side plates 3-4 protruding relative to the mounting surface of the heat sink 3.

[0072] As shown in Figs. Figure 3 , 4 , 5, 7, the lens cover 1 includes an integrally formed lens body 1-1, an annular flange 1-2 and an inserting piece 1-3. All the lens units on the lens cover 1 are arranged on the lens body 1-1. The inner side surface of the annular flange 1-2 is connected with the outer edge of the lens body 1-1 and surrounds the four sides of the lens body 1-1. The bottom edge of the annular flange 1-2 surrounds the edge near the mounting surface of the heat sink 3.

[0073] Eight inserting pieces 1-3 are arranged on the inner side surface of the lens cover 1. The eight inserting pieces 1-3 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the lens cover 1, and correspond to the eight slots 3-1 on the heat sink 3 respectively. The eight inserting pieces 1-3 are respectively inserted into the corresponding slots 3-1 to form an interference fit.

[0074] The inserting piece 1-3 can adopt an integrated structure or an independent structure; among the eight inserting pieces 1-3, the structure of the two inserting pieces 1-3 arranged at the two ends is different from that of the six inserting pieces 1-3 arranged in the middle. The two inserting pieces 1-3 arranged at the two ends correspond to the slots 3-1 on the two end fastening areas 3-2 of the mounting surface of the heat sink 3 respectively; the six inserting pieces 1-3 arranged in the middle correspond to the six slots 3-1 on the light emitting area 3-3 of the mounting surface of the heat sink 3 respectively.

[0075] The two plug-in members 1-3 arranged at the two ends are integrated structures, extending from the length side of the lens body 1-1 to the length side of the other side.

[0076] The six plug-in members 1-3 arranged in the middle are independent structures, including three independent plug-in blocks 1-3-1. Two of the plug-in blocks 1-3-1 are respectively located at the two side edges of the inner side surface of the lens body 1-1. The third plug-in block 1-3-1 is located at the middle position of the inner side surface of the lens body 1-1 in the width direction.

[0077] As shown in Figure 2 The light-emitting plate 2 is provided with six accommodation grooves 2-1. The positions of the accommodation grooves 2-1 correspond to the positions of the middle plug-in blocks 1-3-1 of the six plug-in members 1-3 arranged in the middle. Since the four plug-in members 1-3 arranged in the middle adopt independent structures, the accommodation grooves 2-1 do not need to completely cut off the light-emitting plate. The cross-sectional shape of the accommodation groove 2-1 matches the cross-sectional shape of the corresponding plug-in block 1-3-1, so that the plug-in block 1-3-1 can provide positioning for the light-emitting plate 2 through the accommodation groove 2-1.

[0078] The two insertion grooves 3-1 in the end fastening area 3-2 are filled with sealant, which can seal the gap between the two width edges of the lens cover 1 and the two width edges of the heat sink 3, and provide sealing for the two width edges of the light-emitting module.

[0079] The six insertion grooves 3-1 in the light-emitting area 3-3 are also filled with sealant, which can improve the fastening between the plug-in members 1-3 and the insertion grooves 3-1.

[0080] It should be noted that the insertion grooves 3-1, especially the six insertion grooves 3-1 in the light-emitting area 3-3, are not necessary technical features. In the case that the connection between the plug-in members 1-3 and the insertion grooves 3-1 is stable enough, and the sealing performance of the two width edges of the light-emitting module meets the requirements, the insertion grooves 3-1 can be partially or completely free of sealant.

[0081] After the insertion of the insertion piece 1-3 into the slot 3-1 to the limit position (i.e. the position of the insertion piece 1-3 when the two side faces of the light-emitting plate 2 are in contact with the heat sink 3 and the lens body 1-1 respectively), further pre-tightening pressure is applied to the lens cover 1, so that the light-emitting plate 2 is extruded by the lens cover 1 and the heat sink 3, and the depth of the insertion of the insertion piece 1-3 into the slot 3-1 is further increased (the space required for further insertion is provided by the elastic deformation of the lens cover 1, the light-emitting plate 2 and the heat sink 3); when the pre-tightening pressure applied to the lens cover 1 is removed, the frictional force between the interference-fitted insertion piece 1-3 and the slot 3-1 resists the recovery of the elastic deformation, so that the lens cover 1 maintains the extrusion force on the light-emitting plate 2 and presses the light-emitting plate 2 tightly against the heat sink 3.

[0082] At the same time, the insertion block 1-3-1 located at the middle position of the inner side face of the lens body 1-1 can avoid the middle part of the lens cover 1 from being deformed by bulging due to heating in use, thereby avoiding the generation of gaps between the lens and the light-emitting plate 2 and avoiding the change of the relative positions between the lamp beads and the corresponding lenses. Therefore, the structure of the insertion piece 1-3 and the slot 3-1 can make the lens light distribution of the light-emitting module remain accurate in long-term use. As can be seen, the insertion piece 1-3 provided in the embodiment can further improve the anti-deformation ability of the lens cover 1, improve the tightness of the bonding of the light-emitting plate and the heat sink, and further limit the light-emitting plate to ensure that the light-emitting plate does not deviate from the position.

[0083] As shown in Figure 8 and 9 , the two length edges of the bottom edge of the annular flange 1-2 are provided with grooves with L-shaped cross sections; the grooves are in communication with the inner side face of the annular flange 1-2. The grooves on the two length edges of the annular flange 1-2 and the two length edges of the heat sink together form two first sealing grooves 4 with U-shaped cross sections. The two first sealing grooves 4 are filled with sealing glue, providing a first layer of sealing structure for the two length edges of the light-emitting module. The two first sealing grooves 4 can close the two ends of the six slots 3-1 in the light-emitting area 3-3, thereby overcoming the hidden danger of the open end of the slot directly formed in the extrusion molding to the sealing performance of the light-emitting module.

[0084] The two length edges of the inner side face of the lens body 1-1 are provided with second sealing grooves 5 with U-shaped cross sections; each insertion piece in the light-emitting area 3-3 is located between the two second sealing grooves 5. The two second sealing grooves 5 are filled with sealing glue, providing a second layer of sealing structure for the two length edges of the light-emitting module.

[0085] The sealing glue in the first sealing groove 4, the second sealing groove 5 and the two slots 3-1 in the end fastening area 3-2 cooperate with each other to completely isolate the light-emitting plate from the external environment, so that the light-emitting module reaches the IP68 waterproof level.

[0086] The embodiment provides a preferred non-essential technical feature that the end of the sealant in the first seal groove 4 is integrated with the end of the sealant in the two insertion grooves 3-1 in the end fastening area 3-2, forming a ring-shaped seal structure with the ends connected.

[0087] The embodiment provides a preferred non-essential technical feature that a gap groove 1-3-2 is arranged along the length direction of the insertion groove 3-1 at the tip position of the insertion piece 1-3, that is, the surface farthest from the lens body 1-1. The gap groove 1-3-2 forms two deformed pieces arranged at a distance on the insertion piece 1-3. The depth of the gap groove 1-3-2 is less than the height of the insertion piece 1-3, so that the end of the insertion piece 1-3 close to the lens cover 1 forms a part not separated by the gap groove 1-3-2. The depth of the gap groove 1-3-2 is greater than or equal to 2 mm (preferably equal to 2 mm), and the width is greater than or equal to 0.7 mm (preferably equal to 0.7 mm).

[0088] The insertion piece 1-3 is divided into a deformed part 1-3-3 corresponding to the position of the gap groove 1-3-2 and an interference part 1-3-4 staggered with the position of the gap groove 1-3-2 in the height direction of the insertion piece 1-3. The deformed part 1-3-3 has small rigidity under the action of the gap groove 1-3-2, is deformed when inserted into the insertion groove 3-1, and facilitates the increase of the depth of the insertion piece 1-3 inserted into the insertion groove 3-1. The interference part 1-3-4 has a solid structure and large rigidity, and forms an interference amount between the side wall of the insertion groove 3-1, so that the lens cover 1 and the heat sink 3 can generate a friction force resisting deformation.

[0100] Step two, the liquid sealant is injected into the slot 3-1 on the mounting surface of the heat sink 3 and located at the two end fastening areas 3-2. In the slot 3-1 located at the two end fastening areas 3-2, the sealant fills the whole slot 3-1.

[0101] And the liquid sealant is injected into the slot 3-1 on the mounting surface of the heat sink 3 and located at the light-emitting area 3-3.

[0102] Step three, the light-emitting plate 2 is placed on the heat sink 3.

[0103] Step four, fill the sealant into the two second sealing grooves 5 on the inner side of the lens cover 1; fill the sealant into all positions of the second sealing grooves 5. Then, place the lens cover 1 on the light-emitting plate 2, so that the eight insertion pieces 1-3 on the lens cover 1 respectively extend into the eight insertion slots 3-1 on the heat sink 3. The insertion pieces 1-3 are in sufficient contact with the sealant in the corresponding insertion slots 3-1.

[0104] Step five, apply the extrusion force to the lens cover 1 towards the heat sink, and the extrusion force is controlled to be 5000N-30000N. Under the action of the extrusion force, the insertion pieces 1-3 are further inserted into the corresponding insertion slots 3-1, so that the interference part 1-3-4 on the insertion piece 1-3 forms the interference fit with the two side walls of the insertion slot 3-1, and the two side surfaces of the light-emitting plate 2 are respectively attached to the lens cover 1 and the heat sink 3, and the light-emitting plate 2 is subjected to the extrusion force applied by the lens cover 1.

[0105] Step six, remove the extrusion force applied to the lens cover 1, and fill the sealant into the two first sealing grooves 4 formed between the two length edges of the annular flange 1-2 on the lens cover 1 and the two length edges of the heat sink 3. Fill the sealant into all positions of the first sealing grooves 4.

[0106] Step seven, wait for the sealant in the insertion slots 3-1, the first sealing grooves 4 and the second sealing grooves 5 to solidify, and the light-emitting module is prepared.

[0107] It should be noted that the sealant can not be injected into the insertion slot 3-1 in the light-emitting area 3-3 under the condition that the connection between the insertion piece 1-3 and the insertion slot 3-1 is stable enough.

[0108] Embodiment 3

[0109] A light-emitting module based on the surrounding lens cover, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the groove structure on the inner side of the annular flange 1-2 of the lens cover 1 is different.

[0113] Embodiment 4

[0114] A light-emitting module based on an encompassing lens cover, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the structure of the plug-in part 1-3 is different.

[0115] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 The two sides of the plug-in part 1-3 are provided with wavy stripe structures 1-3-5. The sealant in the plug-in slot 3-1 enters the gap between the inner recessed area of the stripe structure 1-3-5 on the plug-in part 1-3 and the plug-in slot 3-1, so that the adhesion between the plug-in part 1-3 and the plug-in slot 3-1 is further increased on the basis of friction, improving the stability of the connection between the plug-in part 1-3 and the heat sink 3.

[0116] This embodiment provides a preferred non-essential technical feature: the side of the plug-in part 1-3 provided with the stripe structure 1-3-5 is formed with a glue guide groove extending from the root to the tip of the plug-in part 1-3.
