Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of light source technology, specifically to a collimated light source based on COB packaging for encoders and sensors, which can emit infrared light or visible light and can directly adapt to the signal acquisition needs of encoders and sensors without the need for secondary assembly by the client. Background Technology

[0002] In precision equipment such as encoders and sensors, the light source is a core component, and its performance directly affects the detection accuracy and stability of the equipment. Currently, the TO (TransistorOutline) packaged light source, which is widely used in the industry, is mainly composed of a gold-plated tube base, a light-emitting chip, and a glass lens. With the characteristics of an all-metal structure, it can achieve good heat dissipation and maintain stable light emission performance during long-term operation. Therefore, it occupies a certain market share in the field of industrial inspection.

[0003] However, TO packaging technology has obvious limitations and cannot meet the current industry's demand for low cost and high integration. The material cost of its gold-plated tube base is high, and the production process relies on dedicated tube base welding and lens packaging equipment. The equipment procurement and maintenance costs significantly increase the production costs of enterprises. The light source using TO packaging is only a basic light-emitting element. The customer needs to provide additional accessories such as circuit boards and heat sink brackets. It can only be put into use after complex secondary assembly. This not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also makes it easy for the light source collimation to decrease due to assembly errors, affecting the overall performance of the equipment.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content falls within the scope of the inventor's technical knowledge. Due to the vast and complex nature of the technical content in this field, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model:

[0006] This invention provides a collimated light source based on COB packaging to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0007] 2. Technical Solution:

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a collimating light source based on COB packaging, comprising a PCB circuit board, a light-emitting chip, an all-plastic aspherical collimating lens, and connecting pins. The PCB circuit board is provided with a negative electrode connection portion and a preset pad 8. The light-emitting chip is fixed to the preset pad by a die bonding process, and a conductive path is formed between the light-emitting chip, the preset pad 8, and the negative electrode connection portion by gold wire bonding. The PCB circuit board has an integrally formed heat dissipation structure. The all-plastic aspherical collimating lens is fixed to the PCB circuit board corresponding to the light emission direction of the light-emitting chip. The connecting pins are fixed to the edge of the PCB circuit board for electrical connection with external circuits.

[0009] Furthermore, the heat dissipation structure and the PCB circuit board are made of the same substrate, and the structure of the heat dissipation structure can be any one of the following: airfoil structure, fan-shaped structure, or wavy line structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the size of the heat dissipation structure can be adapted and adjusted according to the power of the light-emitting chip, with an adjustment range of 1cm² to 6cm².

[0011] Furthermore, the PCB circuit board has pre-drilled pin header soldering holes, through which the connecting pins are fixedly connected to the PCB circuit board, enabling rapid connection with external circuits.

[0012] Furthermore, the all-plastic aspherical collimating lens is fixed to the PCB circuit board with adhesive, and the lens position corresponds to the light emission center of the light-emitting chip, which is used to collimate the divergent light emitted by the light-emitting chip into parallel light.

[0013] Furthermore, the gold wire has two wires: one for connecting the positive pin of the light-emitting chip to the preset pad 8 of the PCB circuit board, and the other for connecting the negative pin of the light-emitting chip to the negative connection part of the PCB circuit board, which together form a closed conductive path.

[0014] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] The elimination of TO-packaged gold-plated tube sockets and specialized equipment significantly reduces material and equipment costs. The appearance of the PCB can be customized according to customer needs, saving customers the steps of designing and manufacturing circuits themselves, thus reducing customer material consumption and workload.

[0017] The integrated heat dissipation structure increases the heat dissipation area, ensuring that the heat dissipation effect is equivalent to that of traditional TO packaged light sources, thus avoiding light decay or shortened lifespan due to chip overheating.

[0018] The light source integrates PCB circuit, light-emitting chip, collimating lens and connecting pins. The client can directly use it by connecting it to external circuit through the connecting pins, which improves assembly efficiency and avoids the impact of assembly errors on the collimation of the light source.

[0019] The type and size of the heat dissipation structure can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to infrared light chips or visible light chips, meeting the needs of different scenarios such as encoder position detection and sensor light signal acquisition.

A heat dissipation structure 4 is integrally formed on the PCB circuit board 5. The all-plastic aspherical collimating lens 7 is fixed on the PCB circuit board 5 corresponding to the light emission direction of the light-emitting chip 1. The connecting pins 6 are fixed to the edge of the PCB circuit board 5 for electrical connection with external circuits.

[0032] The PCB circuit board 5 serves as the carrier board and conductive substrate for the light source. It has a preset pad 8 and a negative electrode connection part 3 through an etching process. The preset pad 8 is used to fix the light-emitting chip 1. The edge of the circuit board has reserved pin header soldering holes for fixing and connecting pin header 6.

[0033] The light-emitting chip 1 is fixed to the preset pad 8 on the PCB circuit board 5 by a die bonding process. The positive pin of the light-emitting chip 1 is bonded to the preset pad 8, and the negative pin is bonded to the negative connection part 3 by gold wire 2 to form a closed conductive path, ensuring that the chip emits light stably after being powered on.

The size of the heat dissipation structure 4 can be adapted and adjusted according to the power of the light-emitting chip 1, and the adjustment range is 1cm²~6cm².

[0035] The all-plastic aspherical collimating lens 7 is fixed on the PCB circuit board 5 at the light emission center position of the corresponding light-emitting chip 1. The fixing medium is adhesive, which is used to collimate the divergent light emitted by the light-emitting chip 1 into parallel light, ensuring the collimation effect of the light source.

[0036] The connecting pin 6 is fixed in the pin soldering hole of the PCB circuit board 5 to realize the quick electrical connection between the collimating light source and the external circuits of the encoder and sensor without additional soldering or assembly operations.

[0040] Die bonding: Apply adhesive evenly to the preset pads 8 of the PCB circuit board 5, attach the light-emitting chip 1 to the center of the pads, and then bake to completely cure the adhesive, thereby fixing the light-emitting chip to the PCB circuit board.

[0042] Lens fixing: Apply adhesive to the bottom of the all-plastic aspherical collimating lens 7, align the lens with the light emission center of the light-emitting chip 1, and attach it to the PCB circuit board 5.
