Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of LED lamp bead technology, and in particular relates to a waterproof LED lamp bead with good sealing performance. Background Technology

[0002] In LED lighting applications, especially in outdoor or humid environments, the sealing reliability of LED chips directly determines their lifespan and safety. Traditional waterproof LED chips often use potting compound to completely encapsulate the chip or use a separate sealing ring structure. The former may lead to difficulties in pin insertion and removal, inconvenient maintenance, and gaps may easily appear due to differences in the coefficients of material expansion under temperature changes. The latter requires high structural precision and is at risk of sealing failure due to assembly deviations. Existing technologies cannot achieve long-term and stable sealing protection of the pin lead-out parts while ensuring convenient electrical connection. Moisture can still easily enter through the interface gaps, causing electrode short circuits or chip corrosion, which restricts the reliable application of LED chips in harsh environments.

[0003] To address these issues, we provide a waterproof LED bead with good sealing properties. Utility Model Content

A sleeve is provided at the lower end of the lamp holder, and sealing glue is placed inside the sleeve to seal the two electrode contact rods, preventing the two electrode contact rods from coming into contact with water and causing a short circuit. An insertion seam is opened on the sealing glue. When connected, the two pins are inserted into the insertion seam and connected to the two electrode contact rods respectively.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0028] There are two electrode contact rods 3, which are made of copper alloy and are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the lamp holder 1. The two electrode contact rods 3 are respectively connected to the two electrode pins of the chip 2.

[0029] A sleeve 101 is fixedly provided on the lower end face of the lamp holder 1. A sealing ring 101a is fixedly sleeved inside the sleeve 101. A sealing adhesive 101b is fixedly sleeved inside the sealing ring 101a. The upper end face of the sealing adhesive 101b is attached to the lower end face of the two electrode contact rods 3. A joint seam 101b-1 runs through the end face of the sealing adhesive 101b.

[0030] Specifically, chip 2 includes a base 201, an N-type semiconductor 202, and a P-type semiconductor 203; the base 201 is a ceramic substrate, which is fixedly attached to the inner bottom surface of the lamp holder 1 by thermally conductive adhesive; the N-type semiconductor 202 and the P-type semiconductor 203 are stacked sequentially on the upper surface of the base 201 by eutectic bonding process to form the LED chip core.

[0031] Furthermore, a 0.5mm diameter injection hole 102 is formed through the center of the bottom surface of the lamp holder 1 for injecting encapsulating adhesive; a lamp lens 103 is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the lamp holder 1. The lamp lens 103 is a convex lens structure made of high light transmittance silicone material. A heat-conducting pillar 103a with a diameter of 1mm is fixed on its lower end surface. The lower surface of the heat-conducting pillar 103a is directly attached to the upper surface of the P-type semiconductor 203 to achieve efficient heat conduction.

[0032] Furthermore, a set of heat dissipation fins 104 are fixed in a circumferential array on the outer side wall of the upper end face of the lamp holder 1 to enhance heat dissipation efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, an inner buckle 101a-1 is fixed to the lower end face of the inner wall of the sealing ring 101a, and the inner buckle 101a-1 is fastened to the lower end face of the sealing adhesive 101b, thereby fixing the sealing adhesive 101b.

[0034] Furthermore, a contact rod sleeve 101c is fitted inside the sleeve 101. A contact rod through hole 101c-1 is opened through the plate surface of the contact rod sleeve 101c. Both electrode contact rods 3 are fitted inside the contact rod through hole 101c-1. The upper end face of the contact rod sleeve 101c is attached to the lower end face of the lamp holder 1. The upper end face of the adhesive sealing ring 101a is attached to the lower end face of the contact rod sleeve 101c.

[0035] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] During production and assembly, the substrate 201, N-type semiconductor 202, and P-type semiconductor 203 of chip 2 are first stacked and spliced ​​sequentially, and then fixed by thermoforming. Hot-melt epoxy resin is injected into the electrode channels of the substrate 201 and the N-type semiconductor 202 to form preliminary insulation.

[0037] The assembled chip 2 is installed onto the inner bottom surface of the lamp holder 1, so that the electrode leads at the lower ends of the N-type semiconductor 202 and the P-type semiconductor 203 pass through the electrode channels on the bottom surface of the lamp holder 1. Two electrode contacts 3 are fixedly mounted on the lower end surface of the lamp holder 1 using a reflow soldering process and are electrically connected to the two electrode leads respectively.

[0038] The lamp lens 103 is pressed into the upper end of the lamp holder 1, so that the heat-conducting pillar 103a is in close contact with the upper surface of the P-type semiconductor 203. Transparent epoxy encapsulant is injected through the injection hole 102 to fill the internal space of the lamp holder 1, and after curing, a protective layer is formed.

[0039] Finally, insert the contact rod sleeve 101c into the sleeve edge 101, so that the contact rod through hole 101c-1 fits over the outside of the two electrode contact rods 3. Press the sealing adhesive 101b into the sealing ring 101a, and then insert the assembled sealing ring 101a into the sleeve edge 101, ensuring that the upper end face of the sealing adhesive 101b is tightly attached to the lower end face of the electrode contact rod 3, and lock the sealing adhesive 101b with the inner buckle edge 101a-1;

[0040] In use, insert the two external leads into the insertion joint 101b-1 of the sealing adhesive 101b until they contact the threaded channel at the lower end of the electrode contact rod 3, and tighten them to achieve a reliable electrical connection. After the leads are inserted, the insertion joint 101b-1 tightly wraps around the lead surface by elastic deformation, forming a radial seal;

[0041] When powered on, chip 2 emits light, and heat is conducted through heat-conducting pillar 103a to lamp mirror 103 and heat dissipation fins 104. When the LED bead is in a humid environment, the sealing adhesive 101b and sealing ring 101a form a multi-layer sealing barrier, effectively preventing moisture from penetrating along the electrode contact rod 3 and avoiding electrode short circuits.

[0042] This embodiment achieves reliable waterproofing of the electrode contact area through a composite sealing structure of sleeve, sealing ring and elastic sealing adhesive. The plug joint design ensures convenient connection of external pins and ensures sealing performance. The combination of heat-conducting pillar and heat dissipation fins optimizes heat dissipation efficiency and extends the life of the LED.
