Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a vertical pin LED bead bracket, including a substrate 1. The top of the substrate 1 is provided with a plurality of evenly arranged brackets 2. The brackets are formed by stamping at the top of the substrate. Each bracket 2 includes two horizontal pins 3 arranged in parallel vertically and a vertical pin 4 bent upward at the right end of the horizontal pins 3. There is a cavity between the horizontal pins 3 and the substrate 1 body. The top ends of the two vertical pins 4 are provided with pads 5. The two pads 5 are used to connect with the positive and negative terminals of the LED chip. The right end of one of the horizontal pins 3 near the substrate 1 is provided with a first support rib 6 connected to the substrate 1. The left ends of the two horizontal pins 3 are provided with a second support rib 7 connected to the substrate 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, a plurality of evenly arranged supports 2 are provided at the top of the substrate 1. The supports include horizontal pins 3 parallel to the top and vertical pins 4 bent upward at the right end. A pad 5 is provided at the top of the vertical pin. By designing the vertical pins, the length of the vertical pins 4 is shortened, the longitudinal distance occupied by the pins is reduced, which facilitates the installation of LEDs, reduces the design size of the device, makes the internal structure of the device more compact, shortens the current path, and reduces resistance heat. The top surface of the pad is flush to ensure welding consistency. The current conduction path is optimized to improve welding accuracy. The vertical pins directly support the pads, reducing stress concentration caused by horizontal extension. The welding yield is improved by 15%, and the resistance is reduced by 10%.

[0030] The right end of the horizontal pin 3 is provided with a first support rib 6 and the left end is provided with a second support rib 7, which are connected to the substrate 1; the double support ribs form a triangular stable structure to resist cutting stress; enhance the pin's resistance to deformation; the support ribs disperse the force on the pin and prevent bending and breakage; the bending strength of the bracket is increased by 20%.

[0031] Specifically, the length of the upper horizontal pin 3 is smaller than that of the lower horizontal pin 3, and the top surfaces of the pads 5 at the top of the two vertical pins 4 are flush.

[0032] Specifically, the vertical pin 4 includes a vertical segment 8 connected to the horizontal pin 3, an inclined segment 9 extending to the left at the top of the vertical segment 8, and a transition segment 10 extending upward at the top of the inclined segment 9 and connected to the pad 5.

A chamfer structure is provided between the left segment 11 and the right segment 12. A middle reinforcing rib 13 connects the two right segments 12 of the lateral pin 3. In this embodiment, the vertical pin 4 is divided into a vertical segment 8, an inclined segment 9, and a transition segment 10. The inclined segments are arranged in parallel. The inclined segments provide elastic buffering, and the transition segments ensure that the pads are horizontally aligned. They absorb thermal expansion and contraction stress, preventing the pads from cracking. The deformation of the inclined segments offsets thermal stress, and the transition segments maintain the position of the pads. The thermal cycle life is extended to more than 5000 cycles.

[0034] Specifically, a fracture groove 14 is provided at the top of the base plate 1 located between two adjacent supports 2. The groove wall on the left side of the fracture groove 14 is connected to the first support rib 6, and the groove wall on the right side of the fracture groove 14 is connected to the second support rib 7.

[0035] Specifically, the opening of the break groove 14 is narrower than its internal cavity, so that when the bracket is installing LED beads, the bracket can be positioned by engaging the break groove 14 with the locking block.

[0036] Specifically, the bottom end of the substrate 1 located between two adjacent brackets 2 is provided with a first limiting groove 15 corresponding to the break groove 14, and the bottom end of the substrate 1 located between two adjacent first limiting grooves 15 is provided with a second limiting groove 16 and a third limiting groove 17 corresponding to the bracket 2.

[0037] Specifically, a plurality of large grid grooves 18 are evenly arranged on the substrate 1, and the plurality of large grid grooves 18 are arranged directly above the first limiting groove 15, the second limiting groove 16 and the third limiting groove 17.

[0038] Specifically, a small grid groove 19 is provided between two adjacent large grid grooves 18.

[0039] Specifically, the bottom of the substrate 1 is provided with an encoding hole 20 between two adjacent large grid grooves 18, and the encoding hole 20 is arranged directly below the small grid groove 19.

[0040] In this embodiment, the substrate 1 is provided with a large grid groove 18, a small grid groove 19 and an encoding hole 20; the grid groove increases the heat dissipation surface area, and the encoding hole enables automated identification; heat dissipation and intelligent production are improved; air convection passes through the grid groove, and the encoding hole is read by the sensor; the temperature can be reduced by 8°C and the production efficiency can be increased by 20%.

[0041] Usage process:

[0042] LED chip installation: Place the positive and negative terminals of the LED chip on the two pads 5 respectively;

[0043] Soldering and fixing: The LED chip is soldered and fixed to the pad 5 using a reflow soldering process;

[0044] Heat dissipation and positioning: Heat is conducted to substrate 1 through vertical pin 4 and horizontal pin 3; grid groove 18 enhances heat dissipation efficiency; first limiting groove 15, second limiting groove 16, and third limiting groove 17 ensure precise docking between the bracket and external equipment;

[0045] Finally, by cutting the first support rib 6, the second support rib 7, and the middle reinforcing rib 13 with a shearing device, the bracket 2 can be separated from the substrate 1 to obtain the LED lamp bead pins, which are set perpendicular to the lamp beads.

[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The above embodiments only illustrate one or more implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
