After continuous research, design, and repeated prototype production and improvement, this utility model with real practical value has finally been created.
[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a ring-shaped light source, including a ring-shaped outer shell 1. A C-shaped cooling channel 101 is formed within the ring-shaped outer shell 1, surrounding a detection through-hole 102. In this embodiment, the C-shaped cooling channel 101 surrounds the detection through-hole 102, thereby allowing the heat from the ring-shaped outer shell 1 to be better transferred to the cooling medium within the C-shaped cooling channel 101, improving the overall temperature uniformity of the ring-shaped outer shell 1. The cooling medium can be a gaseous cooling medium or a liquid cooling medium. For example, the gaseous cooling medium can be low-temperature air or other low-temperature gases, and the liquid cooling medium can be cooling water, cooling oil, or other liquid cooling substances.
[0048] Cooling extension teeth 103 are provided in the C-shaped cooling channel 101. The cooling extension teeth 103 extend along the C-shaped cooling channel 101, and one side edge of the cooling extension teeth 103 is connected to the annular outer shell 1, that is, one side edge of the cooling extension teeth 103 is connected to one side wall of the C-shaped cooling channel 101. The connection of the cooling extension teeth 103 to one side wall of the C-shaped cooling channel 101 is equivalent to increasing the heat conduction and heat dissipation area of the C-shaped cooling channel 101, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the annular outer shell 1.
[0049] In summary, the annular light source in this embodiment, by providing a C-shaped cooling channel 101 within the annular housing 1, surrounds the detection channel 102, thereby enabling better heat transfer from the annular housing 1 to the cooling medium within the C-shaped cooling channel 101. Furthermore, the cooling extension teeth 103 further increase the heat transfer area, allowing more heat to be carried away by the cooling medium within the C-shaped cooling channel. Therefore, the annular light source in this embodiment effectively improves the heat dissipation effect of the annular housing 1 and effectively prevents the PCB light board mounted on the annular housing 1 from overheating.
[0050] Optionally, the annular housing 1 includes an annular body 11 and a housing cover 12 mounted on the annular body 11 to form a C-shaped cooling channel 101. The annular housing 1 has an annular inner conical surface 104 for fitting the PCB lamp board 2. One end of the cooling extension tooth 103 is connected to the side wall of the C-shaped cooling channel 101 near the annular inner conical surface 104, and the other end of the cooling extension tooth 103 has a cooling gap with the housing cover 12. Because one end of the cooling extension tooth 103 is connected to the side wall of the C-shaped cooling channel 101 near the annular inner conical surface 104, the heat from the PCB lamp board 2 can be more easily transferred to the cooling extension tooth 103, thereby improving cooling efficiency. The cooling gap between the other end of the cooling extension tooth 103 and the housing cover 12 exposes all three sides of the cooling extension tooth 103 to the detection through-hole 102, further increasing the heat dissipation area.
[0051] Optionally, the annular body 11 is equipped with an air inlet 1001 for connecting one end of the C-shaped cooling channel 101 and an air outlet 1002 for connecting the other end of the C-shaped cooling channel 101. In this embodiment, the cooling medium enters the C-shaped cooling channel 101 through the air inlet 1001 and flows out of the C-shaped cooling channel 101 through the air outlet 1002.
[0052] Optionally, the centerline of the air inlet 1001 coincides with one end face of the cooling extension tooth 103, and the centerline of the air outlet 1002 coincides with the other end face of the cooling extension tooth 103; as shown Figure 4 As shown, the cooling extension teeth 103 divide the C-shaped cooling channel 101 into a first branch channel closer to the detection through hole 102 and a second branch channel further away from the detection through hole 102. The centerline of the air inlet 1001 coincides with one end face of the cooling extension teeth 103, and the centerline of the air outlet 1002 coincides with the other end face of the cooling extension teeth 103. This ensures that the airflow in the first branch channel and the airflow in the second branch channel are basically consistent, allowing both sides of the cooling extension teeth 103 to be well cooled. The air inlet 1001 is connected to an air inlet nozzle, and the air outlet 1002 is connected to an air outlet nozzle.
[0053] Optionally, the cooling extension tooth 103 has a wavy edge near the outer casing cover 12, so that the top of the cooling extension tooth 103 can also have a good cooling effect.
[0054] Optionally, the annular body 11 has a C-shaped groove 1011, and the cooling extension teeth 103 are connected to the bottom wall of the C-shaped groove 1011; a sealing mounting groove 1012 is provided at the opening of the C-shaped groove 1011, the sealing mounting groove 1012 surrounds the opening of the C-shaped groove 1011, and a sealing ring 1013 is installed in the sealing mounting groove 1012; the outer cover plate 12 is fixedly connected to the annular body 11 to press the sealing ring 1013 into the sealing mounting groove 1012. In this embodiment, by providing the sealing mounting groove 1012 and the sealing ring 1013, the sealing effect of the C-shaped cooling channel 101 can be effectively improved, and the possibility of leakage can be reduced.
[0055] Optionally, a plurality of PCB lamp boards 2 are spaced apart on the annular inner conical surface 104; the plurality of PCB lamp boards 2 are arranged in a circumferential array around the center line of the detection through hole 102, and a condenser lens 3 is mounted on the PCB lamp board 2. In this embodiment, each PCB lamp board 2 is fixed to the annular inner conical surface 104 with screws. If one of the PCB lamp boards 2 has a positional deviation, the position of the PCB lamp board 2 can be adjusted individually or a new PCB lamp board 2 can be replaced. The condenser lens 3 has a focusing effect, which can effectively improve the light output effect.
[0056] Optionally, the ring light source also includes a housing perimeter 4 and a diffuser plate 5; one end of the housing perimeter 4 is connected to the ring body 11, and the other end is connected to the diffuser plate 5, and the diffuser plate 5 is provided with a detection hole, which is coaxial with the detection through hole 102 of the ring body 11.
[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 6 , Figure 6 The dashed line in the diagram indicates the location of the C-shaped cooling channel (101). Several arc-shaped grooves 1031 are provided on the side of the cooling extension tooth 103 away from the detection through-hole 102. Along the airflow direction, a protrusion 1032 is provided on the rear edge of the arc-shaped groove 1031, and one side wall of the protrusion 1032 smoothly transitions to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 1031. As the gas flows along the second branch channel, it flows into the arc-shaped groove 1031 under the obstruction of the protrusion 1032, then flows along the wall of the arc-shaped groove 1031, and finally flows out of the arc-shaped groove 1031 and continues to flow along the second branch channel. The arrangement of the arc-shaped groove 1031 and the protrusion 1032 further increases the heat dissipation area, significantly improving the cooling effect of low-speed and medium-speed airflows. It should also be noted that the protrusion height of the protrusion 1032 can be set according to actual needs, and the groove depth of the arc-shaped groove 1031 also needs to be set according to actual needs.
[0058] Optionally, the arc-shaped groove 1031 is a semi-cylindrical groove, and the length of the protrusion 1032 is less than the length of the semi-cylindrical groove. This allows the airflow flowing into the arc-shaped groove 1031 to exit from the portion of the protrusion 1032 that is not directly opposite the semi-cylindrical groove. For example, if both ends of the arc-shaped groove 1031 extend beyond the opposite sides of the protrusion 1032, then the main portion of the airflow that is blocked by the protrusion 1032 from flowing into the arc-shaped groove 1031 will exit from the opposite sides of the protrusion 1032, reducing airflow obstruction.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
