DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Terms such as “upper,” “inner,” “middle,” “left,” “right,” and “one” used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the present invention.

[0025] This invention addresses the problems of short lifespan and poor contact in existing railway signal incandescent bulbs by developing and designing the EXT-D type railway signal bulb to replace traditional railway signal incandescent bulbs. Furthermore, the EXT-D type railway signal bulb is further optimized to enable the LED bulb to achieve the same operating current as the incandescent bulb, and to be compatible with the original lighting unit, allowing the indoor filament relay to work normally without changing the original lighting system circuit.

[0026] Based on this, the structure and principle of the ETX-D type LED railway signal bulb of this utility model will be described in detail below:

[0027] An ETX-D type LED railway signal bulb, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it includes a housing, and an LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3, a circuit board 4, a heat dissipation device, a resistor module board 5, an inlet bolt terminal 6, a protective cover 9, and a nameplate 12 disposed on the housing.

[0028] The housing includes an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2 connected by screws. The upper housing 1 is made of flame-retardant reinforced nylon plastic. A channel 1-1 is opened on the side of the upper housing 1, and a wire hole 1-2 is opened on the inner bottom surface of the channel 1-1. The lower housing 2 has a wiring groove 2-1, which is connected to the wire hole 1-2. The LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 and the circuit board 4 are both set in the channel 1-1. The resistor module board 5 and the wire inlet bolt terminal 6 are both set on the lower housing 2. The LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 is electrically connected to the circuit board 4. The wires of the resistor module board 5 and the wire inlet bolt terminal 6 pass through the wiring groove 2-1 and the wire hole 1-2 and are electrically connected to the circuit board 4.

[0029] The heat dissipation device includes a heat sink 7 and a heat sink cover 8, both of which are screwed onto the upper housing 1. The heat sink 7 and the heat sink cover 8 cover both ends of the channel 1-1 respectively. The LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 and the circuit board 4 are respectively disposed on the heat sink 7 and the heat sink cover 8 to dissipate the heat generated by the LED point light source aluminum substrate and the circuit board 4, so as to ensure that the LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 and the circuit board 4 are within a suitable operating temperature range and thus improve their service life.

[0030] The heat sink 7 has a plate-shaped groove (not shown) on its side, and a through groove 7-1 on the inner bottom surface of the plate-shaped groove. The LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 is screwed and installed in the plate-shaped groove. The LED light of the LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 is directly opposite the through groove 7-1, so the light source of the LED light can shine outward through the through groove 7-1 to reduce the phenomenon of light blocking. The heat sink cover 8 is L-shaped, and the inner surface of the L-shaped opening of the heat sink cover 8 has a mounting groove 8-1. One end of the heat sink cover 8 extends into the channel 1-1 and abuts against the heat sink 7. The circuit board 4 is screwed and installed in the mounting groove 8-1. Thus, the heat sink 7 and the heat sink cover 8 can be used as a whole to dissipate heat and cool down the LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 and the circuit board 4 simultaneously, thereby improving their service life.

[0031] In this embodiment, the LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 includes an aluminum substrate and a high-power LED chip as the main and auxiliary light source disposed on the aluminum substrate. The aluminum substrate can transfer the heat of the LED point light source chip to the heat sink more quickly, and finally the heat dissipation device attached to the aluminum substrate dissipates the heat. This design greatly improves the heat dissipation function.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, circuit board 4 integrates a voltage input circuit 4-1, a rectifier and filter circuit 4-2, a voltage regulator and constant current circuit 4-3, a control circuit 4-4, a current detection circuit 4-5, and a current compensation circuit 4-6, all electrically connected in sequence. The LED point light source chip is electrically connected to the control circuit 4-4. The voltage input circuit 4-1 controls the input voltage of circuit 4-4. The rectifier and filter circuit 4-2 rectifies and reduces noise from the input voltage. The voltage regulator and constant current circuit 4-3 stabilizes the operating voltage and current of the circuit. The control circuit 4-4 controls the on / off state of the LED bulb on the aluminum substrate 3 of the LED point light source chip and the switching between main and auxiliary light sources. The current compensation circuit 4-6 compensates the primary input current to meet the operating requirements of the indoor filament monitoring relay. The current detection circuit 4-5 detects the primary input current. When the primary current is below a threshold value, the circuit will be in a blackout state to ensure the reliable tripping of the indoor filament monitoring relay, thus fulfilling the fault-oriented safety requirements of the railway system.

[0033] In this embodiment, the resistor module board 5 uses a resistor compensation module, which is electrically connected to the current compensation circuit 4-6. The resistor compensation module ensures that the incoming current meets the requirements for the indoor relay H18 to reliably pick up, and also functions as a current compensation module.

[0034] It should be noted that the voltage input circuit 4-1, the rectification filter circuit 4-2, the voltage stabilizing and constant current circuit 4-3, the control circuit 4-4, the current detection circuit 4-5, the current compensation circuit 4-6 and the resistance compensation module are all conventional technologies, and the circuit board 4 formed by integrating the above circuits is mainly stacked in function.

[0035] The protective cover plate 9 is attached to the surface of the heat dissipation plate 7, the protective cover plate 9 is provided with a light transmission hole 9-1, the light transmission hole 9-1 is opposite to the channel 1-1, so as to protect the LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 from being damaged during transportation, and has the function of being convenient to disassemble.

[0036] When the LED bulb works, the light generated by the LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3 can be emitted through the light transmission hole 7-1, and different light signal requirements can be realized through the color glass of the color light signal mechanism.

[0037] In the embodiment, the nameplate 12 is arranged on the shell, and specifically can be arranged on the upper shell 1 or the surface of the heat dissipation device. The nameplate 12 has related parameters of the ETX-D type LED railway signal bulb, so that the user or the maintenance personnel can use or maintain correctly according to the product parameters.

[0038] In the embodiment, the side surface of the lower shell 2 is provided with a step 2-2, three bolt interfaces are arranged on the step 2-2 and correspond to the auxiliary wire terminal, the common terminal and the main wire terminal respectively, the number of the wire inlet bolt terminals 6 is three, and the three wire inlet bolt terminals 6 are connected with the three bolt interfaces respectively. Therefore, the LED bulb can be electrically connected with the light testing transformer through the three wire inlet bolt terminals 6, so as to change or control the working voltage of the LED point light source chip by using the light testing transformer. At the same time, the terminal protection shell 10 is arranged on the step 2-2, three receiving grooves 10-1 are arranged in the terminal protection shell 10 and correspond to the three wire inlet bolt terminals 6, and the wire inlet bolt terminals 6 are received in the receiving grooves 10-1, so as to protect the wire inlet bolt terminals 6.

[0039] In the embodiment, the bottom surface of the lower shell 2 is provided with a sink groove 2-3, the wiring groove 2-1 is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the sink groove 2-3, and the resistance module plate 5 is received in the sink groove 2-3. The wiring of the resistance module can also be arranged upwards from the wiring groove 2-1 below, so as to have the advantages of compact structure and simple wiring. In addition, the bottom surface of the lower shell 2 is connected with the base 11 through a screw lock, the base 11 covers the sink groove 2-3, and the base can be connected and fixed with the resistance module plate 5 at the same time through the screw, so as to have the advantages of simple installation and convenient replacement. The side surface of the base is provided with a fixing hook 11-1.

[0040] Based on this, the working process of the ETX-D type LED railway signal lamp is as follows:Figures 6 to 9 as shown:

[0041] The incoming line bolt terminal 6 of the ETX-D type LED railway signal bulb is provided with a secondary filament terminal, a common terminal and a main filament terminal from left to right, which are respectively connected with the secondary filament FS terminal, the common G terminal and the main filament ZS terminal of the original lighting unit.

[0042] When the overall device is powered by the main filament terminal and the common terminal of the lighting unit, the 12v power supply voltage after rectification is detected to be normal by the control circuit 4-4, the control current compensation circuit 4-6 is connected between the main filament and the common terminal loop, so that the main filament terminal of the lighting unit obtains stable current compensation, and the indoor H18 relay is reliably attracted. At this time, the compensation current is detected by the current detection circuit 4-5, and when the measurement result is lower than the set value, it indicates that the power supply voltage is too low or the compensation circuit is faulty, and the LED lamp of the ETX-D type railway signal lamp will work on the secondary filament terminal. When the current measurement result is normal, the control circuit 4-4 controls the constant current and lighting circuit (LED light source chip aluminum substrate 3) to be turned on, so that the main filament LED chip works normally.

[0043] When the LED main filament chip of the LED light source chip aluminum substrate 3 is broken or the main filament power supply detection circuit detects that the device incoming line main filament terminal side is open circuit and loses power, the control circuit 4-4 controls the main filament terminal side compensation circuit to be disconnected. At this time, the lighting unit will be switched to the secondary filament FS terminal and the common G terminal power supply due to insufficient current of the main filament terminal or no loop formed. The main filament power supply detection circuit detects that the ETX-D device is powered by the secondary filament terminal and the common terminal, and detects that the rectified 12v voltage is normal, and then controls the secondary filament side current compensation circuit 4-6 to be connected between the device incoming line secondary filament FS terminal and the common G terminal, so that the secondary filament terminal of the lighting unit obtains stable current compensation, and the indoor H18 relay is reliably attracted. At the same time, the control circuit 4-4 controls the lighting circuit to be switched to the secondary filament LED chip to work.

[0044] In summary, the ETX-D type LED railway signal bulb of the utility model, by setting LED light source chip aluminum substrate 3, circuit board 4, resistance module board 5, incoming line bolt terminal 6 in the shell, wherein, LED light source chip aluminum substrate 3 and resistance module board 5 are electrically connected with circuit board 4, incoming line bolt terminal 6 is electrically connected with circuit board 4. Therefore, during work, the circuit board 4 and the resistance module board 5 can adjust the current of the circuit to make the LED bulb reach the current when the incandescent lamp works, and at the same time, it can meet the adaptation to the original lighting unit. At the same time, the incoming line bolt terminal 6 is externally connected with the required lighting transformer, so that the LED light source of the LED light source chip aluminum substrate 3 is in a normal voltage working environment, and the indoor filament relay can work normally, and the original lighting system circuit is not changed.

[0045] Compared with the conventional signal bulb and the lamp holder structure, the ETX-D type LED railway signal bulb has the following advantages: the internal LED point light source chip aluminum substrate 3, the circuit board 4, the resistance module board 5, the wire inlet bolt terminal 6 and other components are connected in an electric connection mode, the problem of poor contact between the focusing disc of the railway signal bulb and the lamp holder spring piece is avoided, and the influence of the system work caused by the poor contact and other problems is prevented.

[0046] The embodiments of the utility model are not limited to this, according to the above content of the utility model, using the ordinary technical knowledge and usual means in the art, under the premise of not departing from the above basic technical thought of the utility model, the utility model can also make other various forms of modification, replacement or combination, all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
