Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light source equipment technology, specifically to a dual U-hole three-dimensional light source with a heat dissipation structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most LED arrays used in industrial vision systems for automated equipment employ a flat-panel layout and passive heat dissipation via heat sinks. However, flat-panel layouts struggle to provide effective illumination for complex curved surfaces, failing to meet the requirements of industrial cameras. To address this, those skilled in the art typically employ multiple light sources or increase the LED array power. Adding heat sinks increases the light source thickness, making integration into precision inspection equipment impossible. Using multiple light sources can cause cross-reflection of light on curved metal surfaces, creating glare and affecting inspection accuracy. Increasing the LED array power may lead to uncontrolled heat dissipation, impacting the light source's lifespan.
[0003] Therefore, a new type of three-dimensional light source is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0040] See Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a dual U-hole three-dimensional light source with a heat dissipation structure, comprising: a light source and a heat dissipation component; wherein,
[0041] The light source is a three-dimensional light source that emits light from one side. The light source includes a housing base 1, an LED light source array 6 and a circuit board (not shown) disposed in a cavity (not labeled) of the housing base 1, and a diffuser 3 covering the LED light source array 6. The side of the diffuser 3 away from the LED light source array 6 forms a light-emitting surface. The LED light source array 6 and the circuit board are electrically connected to an external power source through electrical connection lines.
[0042] The outer shell base 1 has a through hole in the middle, and the through hole is formed by two U-shaped structures spliced together by U-shaped openings 20 to form a first double U-shaped hole 21; the area of the outer shell base 1 surrounding the first double U-shaped hole 21 forms the receiving cavity;
[0043] The scattering cover 3 is disposed on the receiving cavity of the outer shell base 1. The scattering cover 3 includes a mounting surface connected to the outer shell base 1. The shape of the mounting surface matches the shape of the upper opening of the receiving cavity of the outer shell base 1. A second double U-shaped hole 22 matching the first double U-shaped hole 21 is formed in the middle of the scattering cover 3. The scattering cover 3 protrudes outward on the side facing the light-emitting surface to form a cover structure.
[0044] The heat dissipation component is disposed inside the housing base 1 to dissipate heat from the LED light source array 6.
[0045] The LED light source array 6, housed within the housing base 1, is electrically connected to an external power source via electrical connection lines. The light is scattered by a diffuser 3, whose structure causes the light-emitting surface to detach from the plane. After scattering, the light exits from the three-dimensional curved surface, expanding the illumination angle range. The heat dissipation component dissipates heat outside the housing cavity through its internal structure. The first double U-shaped hole 21 and the second double U-shaped hole 22 increase the contact area between the diffuser 3 and the housing base 1 and the air, thus also serving a heat dissipation function. The first double U-shaped hole 21 and the second double U-shaped hole together form a double U-shaped hole structure that extends throughout the entire three-dimensional light source.
[0046] Specifically, the light-emitting surface is composed of two U-shaped structures joined together by a U-shaped opening 20; the portion of each U-shaped structure facing the inner side of the U-shape has a curved recess 32, and the middle arc-shaped connecting arm 33 and the two U-shaped arms 31 of each U-shaped structure of the light-emitting surface form an arc-shaped recess 34 facing the light source at the outer side edge of the U-shape.
[0047] More specifically, the curved recess 32 forms an arcuate surface shape.
[0048] The concave arc creates centripetal refraction of incident light, increasing the scattering area. The inward concave design of the arc-shaped connecting arm 33 ensures that the light emitted by the LED forms the above diffusion angle after passing through the scattering cover 3. Combined with the side edge concave structure of the U-shaped arms 31 on both sides, it effectively eliminates the phenomenon of light intensity attenuation at the edges.
[0049] Furthermore, the light-emitting surface has two U-shaped structures that are spliced together by the U-shaped openings 20, forming an inwardly convex fin 23 at the splice point, so as to form a separation part at the docking point of the first double U-shaped hole 21.
[0050] The convex fin 23 physically blocks the direct light path on the other side of the light source, preventing cross-interference of light rays between different LEDs at the splicing point. Especially in LED light sources with a ring array distribution, it can effectively suppress glare or spot superposition caused by the overlap of adjacent LED beams.
[0051] Preferably, the heat dissipation component includes an aluminum substrate 5 and a heat dissipation adhesive coating (not shown in the figure), the LED light source array 6 is disposed on the aluminum substrate 5, and the heat dissipation adhesive coating is disposed between the aluminum substrate 5 and the mounting surface of the housing base 1.
[0052] The aluminum substrate 5 has excellent thermal conductivity, which can quickly conduct the heat generated by the LED light source array 6 from the PN junction to the substrate surface. The heat dissipation adhesive coating fills the gap between the aluminum substrate 5 and the housing base 1, eliminates air thermal resistance, improves heat conduction efficiency, and conducts the heat of the aluminum substrate 5 to the housing base 1.
[0053] Furthermore, the aluminum substrate 5 is an aluminum plate whose shape matches the contour of the accommodating cavity, and the LED light source array 6 is arranged in a ring array around the first double U-shaped hole 21. The ring distribution avoids the illumination attenuation problem in the edge area of traditional linear arrays, while the structure of the double U-shaped hole limits the light diffusion range and reduces illumination interference to non-detection areas.
[0054] Specifically, the heat dissipation component also includes heat dissipation holes 4 disposed on the housing base 1, the heat dissipation holes 4 being connected to the outside through the housing cavity.
[0055] Preferably, the heat dissipation holes 4 are located on the sidewall of the non-light-emitting surface of the housing base 1.
[0056] The opposing heat dissipation holes 4 form an air inlet and an exhaust outlet, creating a natural or forced convection (in conjunction with a fan) air circulation path inside the housing base 1. Hot air is exhausted from the heat dissipation holes 4 near the light-emitting area, while cool air flows in from the heat dissipation holes 4 in the non-light-emitting area, significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0057] Specifically, the heat dissipation component also includes a cooling fan 7, which is disposed in the accommodating cavity. The air outlet position of the cooling fan 7 matches the heat dissipation hole 4, and the cooling fan 7 is electrically connected to the circuit board via an electrical connection wire.
[0058] By setting the airflow direction, the cooling fan 7 at heat dissipation hole 4 is configured as both an intake fan and an exhaust fan. The cooling fan 7 forces airflow to quickly carry the heat generated by the LED out of the housing cavity, forming a directional airflow path in conjunction with the heat dissipation hole 4. Compared to heat dissipation designs that rely solely on natural convection, the heat dissipation efficiency is significantly improved, especially under high-power conditions.
[0059] It should be understood that the above description of the specific embodiments of this utility model is only for illustrating the technical route and features of this utility model, and its purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. However, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All changes or modifications made within the scope of the claims of this utility model should be covered by the protection scope of this utility model.
