[0029] The utility model provides a heat dissipation mechanism for an LED digital tube, which realizes efficient heat dissipation and protection of the LED digital tube by improving the shell structure. The structure between the first opening, the second opening and the third opening of the shell, especially the first opening and the third opening being located at different horizontal planes, not only facilitates air circulation, but also effectively guides heat to be dissipated from around the LED digital tube, thus avoiding heat accumulation. At the same time, the display component of the LED digital tube is arranged on the outer surface of the shell, ensuring a good visual effect, while the circuit board is cleverly arranged inside the shell, which not only protects the circuit board from interference from the external environment, but also further utilizes the internal space of the shell for heat dissipation. The LED digital tube is cleverly embedded in the shell through the second opening, located between the first opening and the third opening. Such a layout not only stabilizes the position of the LED digital tube, but also optimizes the heat dissipation path. Example

[0030] The present invention provides a heat dissipation mechanism for LED digital tubes. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the shell 10 includes a first opening 110, a second opening 120 and a third opening 130, and the first opening 110 and the third opening 130 are located at different horizontal planes; the LED digital tube 20 includes a display element 210 and a circuit board 220, the display element 210 is arranged on the outer surface of the shell 10, and the circuit board 220 is arranged inside the shell 10; the LED digital tube 20 is arranged in the second opening 120, and the LED digital tube 20 is located between the first opening 110 and the third opening 130.

[0031] More specifically, the shell 10 and / or the heat sink 30 are made of metal material. It is understandable that, first of all, the metal material has excellent thermal conductivity, which can quickly transfer the heat generated by the LED digital tube 20 to the surface of the shell 10, and then dissipate it through air convection or radiation. This efficient heat dissipation method not only ensures the stable performance of the LED digital tube 20 under long-term work, but also effectively extends its service life. Secondly, the metal material has high mechanical strength and can provide good structural support to ensure the stable operation of the LED digital tube 20 in various complex environments. At the same time, the metal material also has certain corrosion resistance and wear resistance, which can resist the erosion of the external environment and further protect the safety of the LED digital tube 20. In addition, the metal material has good processing performance and can be precisely processed and customized according to actual needs to meet the heat dissipation requirements in different application scenarios.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the LED digital tube 20 is arranged obliquely between the first opening 110 and the third opening 130. More specifically, the angle between the LED digital tube 20 and the first opening 110 plus the angle between the LED digital tube 20 and the third opening 130 is equal to 180°. More specifically, the angle between the LED digital tube 20 and the first opening 110 and the angle between the LED digital tube 20 and the third opening 130 add up to 180°. This layout ensures the stable installation of the LED digital tube 20 in the housing 10, avoiding installation difficulties or looseness caused by improper angles. At the same time, the obliquely arranged LED digital tube 20 can more effectively utilize the air circulation path and improve heat dissipation efficiency. The obliquely arranged LED digital tube 20 with precisely controlled angles brings many advantages. First, it improves heat dissipation efficiency because the oblique layout allows heat to be dissipated more smoothly from the surface of the LED digital tube 20 to the outside of the housing 10, avoiding heat accumulation. Secondly, this design optimizes the visual effect, making the LED digital tube 20 more eye-catching and three-dimensional when displaying information, thereby improving the viewing experience and information communication effect. Finally, the oblique installation also facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the LED digital tube 20, reducing operation and maintenance costs. In summary, by obliquely setting the LED digital tube 20 and precisely controlling the angle between it and the opening of the shell 10, the LED digital tube heat dissipation mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present invention has achieved significant improvements in heat dissipation efficiency, visual effects, installation convenience, and operation and maintenance costs, providing more reliable technical support for the widespread application of the LED digital tube 20.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a heat dissipation mechanism for an LED digital tube further comprising a heat sink 30, one end of the heat sink 30 facing the first opening 110 and the other end facing the third opening 130, and the circuit board 220 is connected to the heat sink 30. More specifically, the heat sink 30 includes a drainage groove 310.

[0034] More specifically, one side of the heat sink 30 is connected to the circuit board 220 , and the other side is provided with fins.

[0035] As will be appreciated, one end of the heat sink 30 faces the first opening 110 of the housing 10, and the other end faces the third opening 130. This layout design fully utilizes the air flow path within the housing 10, accelerating the transfer and dissipation of heat. More importantly, the direct connection between the heat sink 30 and the circuit board 220 ensures that heat can be quickly transferred from the circuit board 220 to the heat sink 30, and then efficiently dissipated to the external environment through the heat dissipation structure of the heat sink 30.

[0036] More specifically, a drainage groove 310 is provided on the heat sink 30. This design takes into account that moisture may accumulate inside the housing 10 in humid or rainy environments, affecting heat dissipation and even causing circuit shorts. The introduction of the drainage groove 310 effectively collects and drains this moisture, keeping the interior of the housing 10 dry and clean, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the LED digital tube 20.

[0037] In addition, fins are provided on the other side of the heat sink 30. As a classic structure in the field of heat dissipation, fins can significantly increase the heat dissipation area and improve heat dissipation efficiency. Through the design of the fins, the heat sink 30 can better exchange heat with the air, quickly dissipating heat to the external environment.

[0038] From a technical perspective, the LED digital tube heat dissipation mechanism, which incorporates a heat sink 30 and includes drainage grooves 310 and fins, significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency, environmental adaptability, and circuit protection. The drainage grooves 310 effectively prevent circuit failures caused by moisture accumulation, while the fins further enhance heat dissipation efficiency, ensuring the stable operation of the LED digital tube 20 in a variety of complex environments. This innovative design not only enhances the practicality and reliability of the LED digital tube 20, but also provides a more robust technical foundation for its widespread application.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, more specifically, it may further include a fan 40, which is disposed between the first opening 110 and the third opening 130. More specifically, the fan 40 may be disposed at the first opening 110, with the air inlet of the fan 40 facing the heat sink 30. More specifically, the fan 40 may be disposed at the third opening 130, with the air outlet of the fan 40 facing the heat sink 30.

[0040] This is understandable. The fan 40 is disposed between the first opening 110 and the third opening 130 of the housing 10, forming an efficient heat dissipation channel. This design not only fully utilizes the internal space of the housing 10, but also accelerates the air exchange between the interior of the housing 10 and the external environment through the drive of the fan 40, thereby significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0041] More specifically, the fan 40 can be located within the first opening 110, with its air inlet facing directly toward the heat sink 30. This allows the fan 40 to directly extract hot air passing through the heat sink 30 and exhaust it outside the housing 10, thereby rapidly removing and dissipating heat. This layout is particularly suitable for environments with high ambient temperatures requiring rapid heat dissipation.

[0042] Alternatively, the fan 40 can be located within the third opening 130, with its outlet facing the heat sink 30. In this configuration, the fan 40 blows cool air toward the heat sink 30, creating a convection effect that accelerates heat conduction and dissipation. This design is particularly suitable for environments where the ambient temperature is low but the operating temperature of the LED digital tube 20 needs to be kept stable.

[0043] From a technical perspective, the LED digital tube cooling mechanism, which incorporates fan 40 and flexibly positions it, demonstrates exceptional performance in terms of heat dissipation efficiency, temperature control, and environmental adaptability. Fan 40 not only significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency but also, through precise temperature control, ensures stable operation of the LED digital tube 20 in a variety of complex environments. This innovative design not only significantly improves the practicality and reliability of the LED digital tube 20 but also provides strong technical support for its application in a wider range of fields.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the heat dissipation mechanism for an LED digital tube provided by an embodiment of the present invention realizes efficient heat dissipation and protection of the LED digital tube by improving the shell structure. The structure between the first opening, the second opening and the third opening of the shell, especially the first opening and the third opening being located at different horizontal planes, not only facilitates air circulation, but also effectively guides heat to be dissipated from around the LED digital tube, thus avoiding heat accumulation. At the same time, the display component of the LED digital tube is arranged on the outer surface of the shell, ensuring a good visual effect, while the circuit board is cleverly arranged inside the shell, which not only protects the circuit board from interference from the external environment, but also further utilizes the internal space of the shell for heat dissipation. The LED digital tube is cleverly embedded in the shell through the second opening, located between the first opening and the third opening. Such a layout not only stabilizes the position of the LED digital tube, but also optimizes the heat dissipation path.

[0045] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
