Anion-Generating Lighting Apparatus for Heat Dissipation
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighting devices with anion generators effectively clean the air but do not address the heat dissipation of LED chips, often requiring complex or heavy heat dissipation structures.
Innovation Solution
A lighting apparatus incorporating a ventilation structure with an anion-generating module, a cylindrical anion-emitting tube, discharge and induction electrodes, and an LED circuit board, where anions emitted through the tube create airflow to dissipate heat from the LED chips without a complicated heat dissipation structure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If conventional heat dissipation structures are adopted, then heat dissipation function is improved, but device complexity and weight increase
Solution Approach 1:
The anion generator is designed to perform dual functions: air purification through anion generation and heat dissipation through induced airflow. The same device structure that generates anions also creates air circulation to remove heat from LED components, eliminating the need for separate heat dissipation structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical heat dissipation systems (such as fans or heat sinks) with an electrostatic field-based system. The anion generator creates an electric field that induces air movement without mechanical moving parts, achieving heat dissipation through field-based air circulation.
2Temperature
If conventional heat dissipation structures are adopted, then heat dissipation function is improved, but device weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anion generator serves dual purposes: air purification and heat dissipation. By using the same components for both functions, the device avoids adding extra weight from separate heat dissipation structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces heavy mechanical heat dissipation components with a lightweight electrostatic field-based system. The anion generator creates air circulation through electric field effects without requiring heavy fans, heat sinks, or other mechanical thermal management components.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If anion generator is added for air cleaning, then air purification function is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anion generator is integrated to provide both air purification and heat dissipation functions simultaneously. This multi-functional design adds air cleaning capability without requiring additional separate systems, thereby avoiding increased device complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The apparatus achieves excellent heat dissipation for LED chips without the need for complex or heavy heat dissipation structures, ensuring efficient cooling and prolonged LED lifespan.
Implementation Method 1
a discharge electrode formed to protrude the first surface of the housing corresponding to a center of the cylindrical anion-emitting tube; and an induction electrode disposed on an inner surface of the cylindrical anion-emitting tube
Implementation Method 2
anions emitted from the discharge electrode are emitted outward through the second end of the cylindrical anion-emitting tube; and a space in which the LED circuit board is disposed is in air communication with the air through hole so that, when air flow is formed through the air through hole by anions emitted from the discharge electrode, air flow occurs also in a space in which the LED circuit board is disposed and heat generated from the LED chip of the LED circuit board is dissipated by the air flow

AI summary
A lighting apparatus having a heat radiation function by a blowing structure comprising a housing, a cylindrical anion emission pipe, a discharge electrode, an induction electrode, an LED circuit board, and a lighting cover. When anions are emitted from the discharge electrode, air outside the lighting cover is introduced into the cylindrical anion emission pipe via an air through-hole, and then discharged to the outside via a second end of the cylindrical anion emission pipe to be circulated; a space in which the LED circuit board is disposed is in air communication with the air through-hole, such that heat generated by an LED chip on the LED circuit board is emitted. The lighting apparatus may achieve excellent heat radiation function without employing a complicated or heavy heat radiation device.
