DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0086] The present disclosure is further described in details in connection with the embodiments as shown in the figures.

[0087] FIGS. 1-10 show substrates for LED encapsulation in several embodiments of the present disclosure. The material of substrate 1 in the present disclosure may be metal, PMMA, PVC, plastic, sapphire, ceramic, or silica gel, or jointing or nesting of several of the materials above.

[0088] FIGS. 1-3 show the substrates for LED encapsulation in the first, second, and third embodiments of the present disclosure. The substrate for LED encapsulation comprises substrate 1. The two ends of the substrate 1 have electrode lead wires, and the electrode lead wires 2 are connected with the two ends of the substrate by connective components 3 and/or connective materials. The connective materials may be adhesive, ceramic adhesive, low melting-point glass, silver paste or plastic. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the electrode lead wires 2 may be connected with substrate 1 by connective components 3. But it may also be that only one end of the substrate 1 has an electrode lead wire 2 and the other end does not have an electrode wire. Instead, the whole substrate is used as another electrode lead wire and is connected with lead wire 31 (not shown in the figure). In this way, cooling of LED chips on the substrate becomes more efficient. Meanwhile, manufacturing becomes easier and the cost of manufacturing is also reduced.

[0089] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the substrates for LED encapsulation are in spiral lines as a whole. A substrate may become three-dimensional as a three-dimensional spiral by stretching the two ends of the substrate in opposite directions along its axis. For the sake of conciseness, unless specified, the term of “spiral” comprises both planar spiral and three-dimensional spiral hereinafter.

[0090] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, for easier manufacturing, between the spiral lines of substrate 1 are gaps to let the light go straightly from the LED chips on substrate 1 to the outside instead of being absorbed or reflected. The shape of the substrate in the present disclosure may be a circular spiral, an elliptical spiral, or a spiral in other geometries such as a polygonal spiral including a square, a pentagon, a hexagon spiral, etc. To cope with different three-dimensional LED encapsulation designs, the substrate may be in a regular shape or an irregular shape. The spiral substrate 1 comprises at least half a spiral circle.

[0091] The surface of the substrate 1 may be made to be reflective or scattering so that light is difficult to be absorbed by substrate 1 and thus reflected to the outside. As such, light flux is increased and the uniformity of lighting is improved.

[0092] When connecting the substrate 1 and the electrode lead wires 2, between them is a heat-conductive dielectric layer. The heat-conductive dielectric layer may effectively conduct heat from substrate to electrode lead wire 2 and will not cause short circuit when using the substrate as a conductive material.

[0093] In the embodiment of FIG. 1, edge 4 of substrate 1 is a smooth curve. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, edge 4 of substrate 1 is a polyline formed by a plurality of straight lines connected end to end. The structures in FIGS. 1 and 2 may apply to different three-dimensional LED encapsulations to improve the glowing effect of different three-dimensional LED encapsulations. As shown in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the edge of substrate may have a plurality of notches 5. If the substrate is not transparent, the light may go through the notches and reach the other side of the substrate with no LED chips and thus improve the glowing effect of the three-dimensional LED encapsulation. The shape of notches 5 may be a “U” shape, a “V” shape or other shapes (not shown). The edge of substrate 1 may also be a combination of smooth curves and polylines. Also, edge 4 of the substrate may also have fasteners beyond the edge to connect a cooling wire or lead wires.

[0094] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the substrate for LED encapsulation according to the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. The substrate is a group of single-spiral structures concatenated by at least two single-spiral structures. The two spirals are connected by connective component 3. In addition, the substrate may also be a group of single spirals in one piece (not shown).

[0095] FIGS. 5 and 6 are schematic diagrams of the substrate for LED encapsulation according to the fifth and sixth embodiments of the present disclosure. The substrate is a one-piece group of double-spiral structure (as shown in FIG. 5), or a group of double-spiral structure connected by connective component 3 (as shown in FIG. 6). Using the substrate for LED encapsulation in the fifth and sixth embodiments of the present disclosure may further make the three-dimensional LED encapsulation glow more uniformly, thereby achieving multi-angled and multi-layered glowing and improving the glowing effect.

[0096] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the substrate for LED encapsulation according to the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure. The substrate may be smoothly-rising polylines or step-shaped polylines, or the combination of the two. As shown in FIG. 7, the edge of spiral substrate 1 is in a step-shaped polyline and the substrate, viewed from the side, is in a step-shaped spiral structure, that is, a step-shaped polyline formed by folding and stamping. The structure may be three-dimensional LED encapsulated directly, which looks fashion and beautiful and is popular among users.

[0097] As shown in FIG. 8, the substrate comprises a middle part 6 and edge parts 7 clinging to the middle, which may be made of different materials. For example, the middle part 6 may be one material of metal, PMMA, PVC, plastic, sapphire, ceramic or silica gel, and the edge part 7 may be another material of metal, PMMA, PVC, plastic, sapphire, ceramic or silica gel. Preferably, the middle part 6 may be metal and the edge part 7 may be transparent silica gel. LED chips may be mounted on substrate 1 using common encapsulation method to let the light of LED chips go through the edge part 7 and reach the back of substrate 1 so as to make the light more uniform. In addition, LED chips may be mounted on middle part 6 or edge part 7 or near edge part 7. Similarly, the substrate may be a concatenation of several different materials to make it diversified. For example, one part is metal, another part is PMMA, and then a subsequent part is ceramic, etc. Such a combination diversifies appearance of the substrate and improves cooling, encapsulation, and manufacturing. Moreover, the intensity of light may be designed based on the difference in density of the materials to meet the requirements, thereby making light of the entire lamp more uniform, which is beneficial to the uniformity of illuminance.

[0098] As shown in FIG. 9, based on the ninth embodiment of the present disclosure, substrate 1 comprises the substrate body and a group of spots 8 of different materials concatenated or nested on the substrate body. The spots 8 may be replaced by belts 8. The spots 8 may be circular, elliptical, triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon or other shape. If replaced by belts, they may be belts or quadrangles with larger area. To be specific, the substrate itself may be any of metal, PMMA, PVC, plastic, sapphire, ceramic or silica gel, and the spots or belts are of another material mentioned above. For example, the substrate is metal, the spots are transparent silica gel which help the light go from the upper side of the substrate to the down side and make the glow more uniform. LED chips may be mounted on spots 8 or on the belts, or on other places on the substrate.

[0099] FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the substrate for LED encapsulation of the tenth embodiment of the present disclosure. There is one or at least two independent circuit layers 9. The circuit layers 9 are welded on the substrate 1 by ultrasonic gold wire or eutectic; and there are welding spots for LED chips on the circuit layers 9. It should be noted that there are other methods to fix circuit layers 9 on the substrate.

[0100] The substrate may be made of PCB having circuit layers directly.

[0101] Based on the present disclosure, the length of the spiral substrate 1 is 5 mm-1000 mm, the width is 0.1 mm-50 mm and the thickness is 0.01 mm-10 mm, which make it easier to put the substrate in the bulb. It should be noted that in other situation, other size may be applied and belongs to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0102] FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the LED encapsulation with the substrate of the first embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 13 is the section view of the LED encapsulation of FIG. 12. As shown in the figures, the substrate 1 has a plurality of LED chips 11 connected in series and/or in parallel. The LED chips 11 are connected by electric wires 13 and LED chips and electrode lead wires are connected by electric wires 13. LED chips 11 are fixed on substrate 1 by non-conductive gel (like silica gel, modified resin or epoxy resin), or conductive gel (like silver gel or copper gel). The LED chips 11 and the substrate 1 are covered with a dielectric layer 12 with the function of protection or glowing, as shown in FIG. 13. The dielectric layer 12 is one of or the combination of silica gel, epoxy resin gel or LED lightening gel. The dielectric layer 12 may be mounted only on the surface of the substrate with LED chips 11 and electric wires 13, or on the plane of the substrate with LED chips 11 and electric wires 13 and the two side planes, or on all planes of the substrate. For example, when there are fastener beyond the edge 4 of the substrate, dielectric 12 does not need to cover the fastener.

[0103] FIGS. 12 and 13 show the three-dimensional LED encapsulation with the substrate according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. But the three-dimensional LED encapsulation may be made of other forms of substrates in the present disclosure.

[0104] In addition, the substrate for LED encapsulation according to the tenth embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 10, because the spiral substrate 1 may be welded on the substrate by ultrasonic gold wire or eutectic or made of PCB directly (there are welding spot on the circuit layer on the PCB), LED chips 11 may be connected with the circuit layer through the welding spot and increase the kinds of LED chips. The LED chips are horizontal, vertical, face-down or white light. To be specific, if vertical chips are used, the positive pole connects with the circuit layer through the welding spot and the negative pole connects with the circuit layer through electric wire 13. If face-down chips are used, the positive and negative poles are all connect with the circuit layer through welding spots. If white light chips are used, no protective or glowing dielectric layer is needed on LED chips, electric wires and the surface of the substrate because the white light chip itself have a dielectric layer being protective and/or glowing.

[0105] In the LED encapsulation of the embodiment shown by FIGS. 12 and 13, the colors of LED chips 11 may be the same, different or partially different. For example, they may all be blue light, UV-light or other monochromatic light, or mixed light of different colors, or white light with high color rendering index.

[0106] Based on the present disclosure, the LED chips are equally distributed, or unequally distributed, and are mounted on one side or both sides of the substrate. For example, when the axis of the three-dimensional spiral of the substrate of the present disclosure is vertical, LED chips are dense in the upper part of the substrate and are sparse in the lower part of the substrate. This will increase the light intensity of the middle part. Both sides of substrate 1 may place LED chips and this will make the light more uniform. In addition, the LED encapsulation shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 may be three-dimensional spiral, that is, the three-dimensional LED encapsulation may be double-spiral or single-spiral, the shape of which is determined by the shape of substrate 1.

[0107] The method of making three-dimensional LED encapsulation according to the present disclosure comprises: prepare a substrate in FIGS. 1-6, 8-10, place a plurality of LED chips 11 connected in series and/or in parallel on the substrate 1, stretch the two ends of the substrate in the opposite directions along its axis to form a three-dimensional LED encapsulation.

[0108] Wherein the method for three-dimensional LED encapsulation further comprises: cover the surface of substrate 1 and LED chips 11 with a protective or glowing dielectric layer 12 before stretching.

[0109] Wherein electric wires may be used between the LED chips 11, and LED chips and electrode lead wire. The surface of the electric wires may be covered with a protective or glowing dielectric layer.

[0110] Or, when there are welding spots on circuit layer 9 on the substrate, at least one of the positive pole and negative pole of LED chips 11 on the substrate is electrically connected with circuit layer 9 and are connected in series, in parallel, or in serial-parallel through the connection and arrangement of circuit layers.

[0111] The spiral structure of the substrate is a conical spiral, or an equal circular spiral, or a single spiral whose diameter goes up and then down along its axial direction, or a double-spiral whose diameter goes down and then up along its axial direction.

The bulb comprises a light-transmitting shell 20, lead wires 31 in the light-transmitting shell, a core column 30 of the core column exhaust pipe 32 and at least one the three-dimensional LED encapsulation 10 connecting with the lead wire 31. Based on the present disclosure, the electrode wire on the substrate for three-dimensional LED encapsulation 10 is connected with electric connector 90 through lead wire 31, drive 80 and drive electric lead wire 81, to connect with the external power source to lit the LED chips. The light-transmitting shell 20 is connected with the core column 30, forming a sealed space in the light-transmitting shell 20, filled with protective and cooling gas which may be helium or hydrogen-helium mixture. The transmitting shell 20 is transparent, milky white, dull polished, or color covered, or partially reflective, or covered partly with small prism or small lens. The shape of the transmitting bulb shell 20 may be in “A”, “G”, “R”, “PAR”, “T” shapes, candle-like or in other shapes of existing bulb shells. The electric connector 90 may be E40, E27, E26, E14, GU or other existing electric connector. There is a cooling wire 21 in the light transmitting bulb 20, wherein the cooling wire 21 connects the core column 30 and the three-dimensional LED encapsulation 10 to conduct the heat to core column 30 and to the external environment.

[0113] The three-dimensional LED encapsulation in the bulb may be a conical spiral, as shown in 14, which may be connected to operate AC or DC. When the three-dimensional LED encapsulation is operating DC, it may use external DC power or AC power; when using external AD power, the drive 80 may be made of a circuit for limiting current and lowing voltage with a capacitor and a resistance connected in parallel, and a rectifier and filter circuit. The circuit of drive 80 may be simple and low-cost, with no use of electrolytic capacitor, transistor, transformer, or high-frequency radiation. It may also be a switcher, a power source and a constant current stabilizer.

And there is a connective structure 40 between transmitting shell 20 and electric connector 90 which is plastic, metal, ceramic, bamboo or rubber. Connective structure 40 may enlarge the neck of the bulb and place larger filament or light bar in the bulb, and may enlarge the volume of the shell to help conduct heat.

[0125] As shown in FIG. 16, another embodiment of the present disclosure is different from the bulb above because there are two spiral three-dimensional LED encapsulations 10, forming a double-spiral. The positions of the two spirals may be opposite, back-to-back, face-to-face, or staggered. The number of turns of the two spirals may be the same or different.

In this way, heat may be conducted from spiral three-dimensional LED encapsulation 10 to connective structural component 60. The cooling supporter 50 may be whole formed or form by one or more components. the material of each component may be the same, partial same or different.

[0127] FIG. 19 is schematic diagram of a bulb with the three-dimensional LED encapsulation 10 in another embodiment. The bulb in this embodiment is much similar with that in FIG. 18. The difference is, cooling supporter 50 does not touch the three-dimensional LED encapsulation; and the three-dimensional LED encapsulation 10 is supported by lead wires 31. In this way, two lead wires 31 support the three-dimensional LED encapsulation 10 and conduct heat and electricity. The lead wires conduct heat from three-dimensional LED encapsulation to cooling supporter 50 and connective structural component 60.

[0128] Based on bulbs in FIGS. 18 and 19, the structures are formed only by the transmitting shell, lead wires and the electric connector. Because the cooling supporter and two lead wires 31 may conduct heat well, there is no need to seal, vacuum ize and fuse the bulbs.

[0129] The method for bulbs with three-dimensional LED encapsulation in FIGS. 18 and 19 comprises:

[0130] 1) make the three-dimensional LED encapsulation;

[0131] 2) prepare a cooling supporter 50 with two lead wires 31;

[0132] 3) connect the electrode lead wire 2 of the three-dimensional LED encapsulation with the lead wire 31;

[0133] 4) put the connected three-dimensional LED encapsulation and cooling supporter 50 into the light-transmitting shell 20, and connect and fix the light-transmitting shell 20 and the cooling supporter 50;

[0134] 5) connect the drive 80 with the electric connector 90 by the electric lead wire (81) and connect lead wire 31 of the core column with the drive 80;

[0135] 6) put the drive 80 in the electric connector 90 and connect the cooling supporter 50 with the electric connector 90 directly or through connective components 60;

[0136] Wherein the step 1) and step 2) may be implemented in any sequence, or at the same time.

[0137] Wherein cooling supporter 50 has high thermal conductivity and is dielectric to make electrically neutral thermal path, like APL.

[0138] The connective structural component 60 is made or plastic, metal, ceramic, bamboo or rubber.

[0139] Wherein the three-dimensional LED encapsulation is fixedly connected with the cooling supporter 50, and may support the three-dimensional LED encapsulation with cooling supporter 50; or the cooling supporter 50 does not touch the three-dimensional LED encapsulation and the three-dimensional LED encapsulation is supported by lead wires 31.

[0140] The cooling supporter 50 may be in one piece, or made of more than one component as described above.

[0141] According to the present disclosure, the bulb may be all-directional, three-dimensional, and multi-layer glowing. The bulb is also heat conductive, large in glowing angle, and uniform in light intensity. In addition, the manufacturing process is simple, convenient, and low-cost.
