Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the field of outdoor lighting, SMD (Surface-Mount Device) LED lights are widely used due to their advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, and long lifespan. However, traditional SMD LED lights face several challenges when used outdoors, mainly including:
[0003] Insufficient sealing reliability: Conventional encapsulant (single epoxy resin) is prone to cracking at the junction with the substrate due to thermal expansion and contraction, and moisture seeps in through the edge of the substrate, causing the LED chip to oxidize and fail.
[0004] The contradiction between heat dissipation and protection: Most protective structures rely on a fully enclosed design, and heat dissipation depends solely on the passive heat conduction of the substrate. Under high-temperature conditions (>80℃), light decay is easily caused.
[0005] Complex structure and maintenance: Existing protective covers are mostly fixed with adhesive or clips, which can easily damage the seals during disassembly, increasing maintenance costs;

[0034] Please see Figure 1-4 The outdoor high-protection SMD surface-mount LED light with an integrated moisture-proof and sealed structure of this utility model includes:
[0035] Substrate 1, wherein a groove 6 is provided on the edge of substrate 1;
[0036] LED chip 7 is fixed to the surface of substrate 1 by silver paste, and the LED chip 7 is connected to substrate 1 through electrode pins 5.
[0037] Encapsulating colloid, covering the surface of LED chip 7 and substrate 1;
[0038] The protective frame 2 is wrapped around the outside of the substrate 1. A protective cover 3 is installed at the bottom of the protective frame 2 and a transparent protective cover 4 is installed at the top of the protective frame 2. A heat dissipation device is provided on the protective cover 3.
[0039] This outdoor high-protection SMD surface-mount LED light, with an integrated moisture-proof and sealed structure, is designed to provide an efficient and reliable outdoor lighting solution through a series of innovative designs and technological improvements. The following are the main components of the device and their working principle.
[0040] Core working principle
[0041] Moisture-proof sealing and structural synergy
[0042] The groove 6 of the substrate 1 works in conjunction with the encapsulating colloid: The groove 6 on the edge of the substrate 1 (FR-4 / metal substrate, etc.) serves as a mechanical locking structure. When the outer UV epoxy resin 18 is cured, it penetrates into the groove 6 to form a physical anchor. Combined with the flexible filling of the inner silicone 17, the encapsulating colloid and the substrate 1 are double-sealed, effectively preventing moisture from entering from the edge of the substrate 1.
[0043] Several LED chips 7 are typically arranged on the substrate 1, and different numbers of LED chips 7 are turned on by the microcontroller 11 according to the brightness requirements. At the same time, the microcontroller 11 can also adjust the color tone of the light source of the LED chips 7, such as the WS2811 series or SM2258E series controllers.
[0044] Sealing system of protective frame 2: The upper / lower sealing grooves 9 of protective frame 2 form an axial compression seal by means of an insert-type frame design (transparent protective cover 4 and protective cover 3) combined with sealant filling; the sealing gasket between the base plate 1 and the mounting edge 19 of protective frame 2 provides a radial compression seal, and the multi-directional sealing structure ensures IP67 protection.
[0045] Intelligent control and power supply management
[0046] The microcontroller 11 (MCU) is linked with the charging capacitor 10: the charging capacitor 10 can be used as an energy storage medium or a power stabilizing medium. The MCU monitors the LED's operating status (current / temperature) in real time and adjusts the brightness through the switch 12 (capacitive touch). The charging capacitor 10 acts as an instantaneous energy storage unit to maintain a stable power supply when the external power supply fluctuates, thus avoiding flickering.
[0047] The microcontroller 11 can be configured with a wireless communication device, through which the microcontroller 11 can remotely connect to a wireless control terminal. The wireless communication device is preferably a 433MHz radio frequency module, Bluetooth / BLE 5.2, or LoRa module. The wireless control terminal is...
[0048] Remote control: Equipped with an STM8 microcontroller, supporting 433MHz / 2.4GHz frequency bands, and the button commands are encoded and transmitted via ASK modulation.
[0049] Mobile App: Based on Bluetooth / BLE protocol, it adjusts LED brightness / color temperature through PWM signal and stores user preferences in a synchronized manner.
[0050] Balance between directional heat dissipation and waterproof breathability
[0051] Heat dissipation fins 14 are attached to conduct heat: the heat dissipation fins 14 on the protective cover 3 directly contact the back of the substrate 1, and quickly conduct the heat generated by the LED chip 7 through the metal substrate 1 (such as an aluminum substrate).
[0052] Waterproof and breathable membrane 16 regulates airflow: The waterproof and breathable membrane 16 (54) is made of ePTFE expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material with a pore size of 0.1-0.5μm. The ePTFE membrane inside the heat dissipation holes 15 allows airflow (moisture permeability ≥5000g / m). 2 • 24h), while blocking liquid water and dust, solving the problem of easy water leakage in traditional heat dissipation holes 15.
[0053] Detailed Explanation of the Working Principle of the Preferred Technical Solution
[0054] Substrate 1 and Packaging Structure

[0056] Metal substrate (preferred): The aluminum substrate has improved corrosion resistance through an aluminum nitride anti-oxidation layer (5-10μm) and combined with high thermal conductivity (>200W / m·K) for rapid heat dissipation;
[0057] Ceramic substrate: Alumina ceramic substrate is resistant to high temperature (>300℃) and is suitable for high-power LED applications;
[0058] FR-4 substrate: a low-cost solution that compensates for thermal conductivity by adding heat dissipation vias.
[0059] Layered encapsulation colloid design:
[0060] Inner silicone 17: High temperature resistance (-50℃~200℃), low stress, buffering the mechanical impact of thermal expansion and contraction on LED chip 7;
[0061] Outer layer UV epoxy resin 18: high hardness (Shore D>85), resistant to ultraviolet aging, and forms a dense moisture-proof layer on the surface.
[0062] Protective Frame 2 Sealing System (Advanced Solution)
[0063] Bolt compression seal: The protective cover 3 is connected to the lower sealing groove 9 by a fixed bolt, and uniform pressure is applied to deform the sealing gasket and fill the micro gaps;
[0064] Encapsulation and sealing enhancement: Silicone sealant is injected into the gap between the frame of the transparent protective cover 4 and the upper sealing groove 8. After curing, it forms an elastic seal that can adapt to outdoor temperature differences and deformation.
[0065] Heat dissipation device
[0066] Fin-substrate 1 bonding design: The heat dissipation fins 14 (aluminum) are tightly bonded to the back of the substrate 1 with thermal grease, and the heat is dissipated naturally by convection through the expansion of the fin surface area (more than 300%).
[0067] Waterproof and breathable membrane 16 dynamic balance: The micropores (0.1-0.5μm) of the ePTFE membrane only allow gas molecules to pass through, and it can withstand 1m water pressure without leakage in heavy rain.
[0068] Detailed Workflow
[0069] Start-up and power supply phase
[0070] Power input: Connect an external power source through the charging port 13 on the protective frame 2 to charge the charging capacitor 10, and the MCU enters standby mode;
[0071] Switch 12 Trigger: When the user touches the capacitive switch 12 (anti-accidental touch design), the MCU activates the LED chip 7 and adjusts it to the preset brightness.
[0072] Work and Protection Phase
[0073] LED light emission: Current drives LED chip 7 to emit light through electrode pin 5, and heat is conducted to heat dissipation fins 14 through substrate 1;
[0074] Dynamic heat dissipation: The ePTFE membrane inside the heat dissipation hole 15 discharges hot air, while external cold air is drawn in through the membrane pores, forming a circulating airflow;
[0075] Sealing and protection: The sealing system of the encapsulating colloid and the protective frame 2 works together to block rainwater and moisture, and the sealing gasket compensates for gaps caused by mechanical vibration.
[0076] Error handling and maintenance
[0077] Overload protection: The microcontroller 11 can be configured with a temperature detector and a current detector. When the temperature is >85℃ or the current is abnormal, the power supply will be automatically cut off and the fault code will be stored.
[0078] Maintenance and disassembly: Loosen the fixing bolts to separate the protective cover 3, replace the heat sink fins 14 or clean the heat sink holes 15. The modular design reduces maintenance costs.
