Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LED brackets are prone to breakage due to their low strength, particularly in areas where external forces are applied, such as plate deformation, leading to structural weaknesses.

Innovation Solution

The LED bracket design incorporates a substrate with conductive areas and an insulating area, where a supporting part extends from one conductive area to another within the bowl portion, enhancing the side wall strength by reinforcing the weakest areas and improving overall structural integrity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Strength

If the LED bracket uses a conventional package structure with a bowl portion, then the LED chip can be accommodated, but the side walls of the bowl portion are not high in strength and are easily broken by external force

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveside wall strengthVSAvoidresistance to breakage
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate extends into the side wall area of the bowl portion, transitioning from a conventional planar substrate to a three-dimensional structure that provides mechanical support within the side wall region, thereby enhancing strength and resistance to breakage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The LED bracket combines the package material with the substrate material to form a composite structure, where the substrate acts as a reinforcing element within the package, creating a hybrid structure with improved mechanical properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

The present application relates to an LED bracket, a light-emitting unit and a light-emitting assembly. A substrate of the LED bracket comprises a substrate main body, and a supporting part extending from the substrate main body into a side wall of a bowl portion of the LED bracket, wherein the supporting part extends from one conductive area to the other conductive area in the side wall of the bowl portion of the LED bracket, and at least extends to a side wall area corresponding to an insulating area on the side wall that insulates and isolates the two conductive areas.
