The elements in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals refer to corresponding similar components.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments, however detailed implementations of the present application are not so limited.

[0018] The inventors found in practice that: when an injection molding machine is used to make a remote phosphor lampshade, the added phosphors rub against the components such as the injection screw, the barrel, the nozzle, and the like in the molding machine, so that these metal materials are abraded, thereby making the manufactured lampshade contaminated. The main reasons are as follows:

[0019] 1. The surface hardness of the metal materials of the components such as the injection screw, barrel, nozzle and the like in the molding machine is lower than that of the phosphor;

[0020] 2. The phosphors rub against the surfaces of the components such as the injection screw, the barrel, the nozzle, and the like in a non-lubricating, hard, and dry manner.

[0021] In order to prevent the corrosion of the metal material from affecting the performance of the lampshade, the inventors replaced the components such as the injection screw, the barrel, the nozzle, and the like of a conventional injection molding machine on the market with those made of an alloy material (which include, but are not limited to, for example, an SKD61 alloy, an HPT3 alloy and an HK6 alloy) having a surface hardness higher than that of the phosphor, which are assembled into a new injection molding machine. In an embodiment, the method for manufacturing a lampshade comprises the following steps (as shown in FIG. 1).

[0022] Step 101: adding high-temperature resistant (such as 300 C.) silicone oil with a certain proportion (0.1-0.5% by weight) to a PC material, and stirring them in a mixing tank at a low speed (less than 1000 rpm) for 30 to 60 minutes, so that they are uniformly mixed to obtain a first mixture. This can solve the problem regarding non-lubricating, hard, and dry friction between the phosphors and the surfaces of the components such as the injection screw, the barrel, the nozzle and the like.

[0023] Step 102: adding dispersed oil with a certain proportion (0.01-0.05% by weight) to the mixture in step 101 described above, and stirring them in the mixing tank at a low speed (less than 1000 rpm) for 30 to 60 minutes, so that they are uniformly mixed to obtain a second mixture. The purpose of this step is to solve the problem regarding settlement of the phosphor during the process of being mixed with the PC material, so as to form a uniform mixture of the PC material and the phosphors.

[0024] Step 103: according to a required color temperature range 2700K-6500K of an LED lamp, preparing phosphors with a weight ratio of 10-3%, adding the phosphors to the second mixture in step 102, and stirring them in the mixing tank at a low speed (less than 1000 rpm) for 30 to 60 minutes, so that they are uniformly mixed to obtain a third mixture. Since the lubricant in step 101 and the dispersed oil in step 102 are added, the surfaces of the phosphor particles are coated with an oil film layer formed of two mixed oils, which firstly solves the problem regarding abrasion of the metal material surfaces, and secondly enables the phosphors to be effectively and uniformly adhered to the surface of the PC material, thereby solving the problem of uneven mixing.

[0025] Step 104: pouring the third mixture into a feeding tank of the injection molding machine, which is thermal injection molded by a mold at one time at an injection temperature of 270-330 C. according to a required shape (which includes, but is not limited to shapes such as a lampshade shape, a plate shape, and the like), thereby obtaining an LED remote phosphor lampshade that can be put into mass practical production. According to our experiments, a lamp produced using this lampshade can have superior luminous efficiency, reliability and stability over a conventional non-remote technique lamp in a high temperature environment.

[0026] Specifically, the weight ratio between the high-temperature resistant silicone oil and the PC material is 0.1-0.5%, the weight ratio between the dispersed oil and the PC material is 0.01-0.05%, and the weight ratio between the phosphors and the PC material is 10-3%.

[0027] Through repeated experiments, the inventors obtained experimental data and effects as shown in Table 1.

[0028] With respect to various proportioning test data of an LED lamp with a color temperature of 6500K, the proportions of the phosphors at respective color temperatures are generally fixed:

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 additive luminous efficiency (under proportion proportion proportion the same of silicone of dispersed of injection amount oil oil phosphors temperature of blue times (%) (%) (%) C. light) lm/w 1 0.1 0.01 8 300 115.5 2 0.25 0.025 8 300 117.5 3 0.5 0.05 8 300 114.8 4 0.05 0.07 8 300 60.5 5 0.65 0.08 8 300 65.2 6 0.06 0.09 8 300 62.5 7 0.7 0.007 8 300 66.2 8 0 0 8 300 45.3

[0029] It can be seen from the above experimental data that, at the same injection temperature, for methods for manufacturing a remote phosphor lampshade in which the same proportion of phosphors is added, a mixture of the PC material and the phosphors is added with silicone oil and dispersed oil, thus the luminous efficiency of the lampshade is higher than that of the lampshade made of a mixture not added with silicone oil and dispersed oil under the same amount of blue light. Moreover, the lampshade made of a mixture added with 0.1-0.5% by weight of silicone oil and 0.01-0.05% by weight of dispersed oil has a luminous efficiency 2.5 times the luminous efficiency of a lampshade made of a mixture not added with silicone oil and dispersed oil under the same amount of blue light.

[0030] The lampshade produced by the manufacturing method proposed by the present application only undergoes one time of high temperature molding process during which the silicone oil is used as a lubricant so that the manufacturing material thereof is not prone to cause abrasion to the alloy material having a higher surface hardness than that of the phosphor, and the dispersed oil makes the mixing more uniform.
