(15) Of course, FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are merely examples, and other possible approaches may also be in the spirit of the present invention. For example, in such a high power bulb lighting device, the filament 104 may be entirely made of aluminum, and filament fixing element 103 may only be partially made of aluminum, and the other portions may be made of different materials. Aluminum is a chemical element, belonging to the boron family, the chemical symbol is Al. Aluminum is a softer and easy-to-extend silver-white metal. Aluminum is the third element in abundant in the crust (after oxygen and silicon) and is also the first metal in abundance, accounting for about 8 percent of the earth's mass in the solid surface. Aluminum is chemically active, so it is difficult to find a free metal aluminum unless it is in an extremely special redox environment. More than 270 minerals have been found. Aluminum is valued for its low density and corrosion resistance (due to passivation). Structure parts made of aluminum and its alloys are not only critical in the aerospace industry, but are also important in the field of transportation and structural materials. The filament fixing element may also be selected from copper material or other metal material, depending on the different requirements of the heat dissipation, the styling or the appearance to change, it may also be made of glass, so that this high power bulb lighting device may be of different styles.
(16) Please refer to FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the surface of the filament fixing element 103 may be provided with a plurality of convexities or ripples, thus increasing the heat dissipation area and increasing cooling efficiency. The surface of the filament fixing element 103 can also be installed with fins, through the fins to strengthen the heat convection of the air, and to enhance the cooling efficiency. In general, the variables related to the heat dissipation include heat dissipation area, temperature difference, airflow velocity and length of airflow direction. The greater heat dissipation area, the better heat dissipation. If the heat dissipation area doubles, the heat dissipation will be doubled. The higher temperature difference, the higher heat dissipation. Therefore, the heat dissipation is often made of aluminum, copper, aluminum alloy or copper alloy, which can effectively transmit heat from the heat source.
(17) Please refer to FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the filament fixing element 1031 is a solid plate, provided with the groove 105, but this is one of the possible designs of filament fixing element 1031. The filament fixing elements 1031, 1032 may be made of other different materials and with different shapes. For example, the filament fixing elements 1031, 1032 may be a solid plate, or it may be an empty plate. The empty plate can enhance the richness of the mold, reduce the manufacturing cost and reduce the weight of the bulb. In other embodiments of the present invention, the filament fixing elements 1031, 1032 are a flat plate, and the thickness of the flat plate may be selected in a variety of ways. As the thickness of the flat plate increase, the heat dissipation efficiency is higher. As the thickness of the flat plate decrease, the cost is reduced, and forming a more lightweight high power bulb lighting device. Therefore, by changing the thickness of the lamp fixing member, it is possible to meet the different requirements, no matter what the requirements of heat dissipation, appearance or cost are.
(18) FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the invention, but there are many possibilities for the fixed position of the filament 104. For example, the LED filament 104 may be set on the side of the filament fixing element 103 or on the plane of the filament fixing element 103, the number of LED light 104 bar may be adjusted according to different demands, the number of LED filament 104 may be one or more groups, and the installation direction and angle may be different. The LED filament 104 may be adhered to the side or the plane of filament fixing element 103 by gluing, or may be fixed to the side or the plane of filament fixing element 103 by welding. In the other fixing methods of the LED filament fixing element 103, one or more groups of grooves may be provided on the side or the plane of the filament fixing element 103, and the LED filament 104 may be fitted in the groove, to fix the LED filament to the side or plane of the filament fixing element.
(19) FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the invention, but there are many types of the filament fixing elements 1031, 1032, for example, the filament fixing element 1031 or 1032 may be arranged with a reflecting element which can change the advancing angle of the light, focus the light emitted by the LED filament 1041, 1042, or diffuse reflection, so that the high power bulb lighting device has different lighting forms. The reflective element can improve the light utilization rate of the lighting device, and improve the efficiency of the lighting device. The reflectivity rate of reflective element is mainly dependent on the material. The reflectivity of reflective material and the degree of light failure will directly determine the quality of the reflective element.
(20) In other embodiments of the present invention, the lamp holder 101 in FIG. 1 may additionally be provided with a heat dissipation element. The general common heat dissipation methods include natural convection heat dissipation, fan forced heat dissipation, heat pipe and loop heat pipe heat dissipation, etc. Natural convection is directly contacted with the air through the radiator, and the air around the radiator becomes hot air because it absorbs heat. Then the hot air rises and the cold air drops, which naturally leads to the convection of the air and the heat dissipation. The common radiator has the cooling fins, the bulb shell and the driving plate of the lighting device, with the introduction of high power lighting device, a large heat dissipation surface area is needed for the use of natural convection cooling, so the heat dissipation fins are widely used in the various LED lighting devices. Fan forced heat dissipation is a complex system with low reliability; Heat pipe and loop heat pipe heat dissipation is of high cost. Therefore, in this high power bulb lighting device, the lamp holder may additionally be provided with a heat dissipation element. The heat dissipation element may be a cooling fin, a fan, a loop tube, or a heat dissipation glue, and the heat dissipation efficiency can be effectively enhanced by the heat dissipation element.
(21) The cooling fin in the field of electronic engineering design are classified as passive cooling elements, attached with a metal with high thermal conductivity, light-weight, easy to machine on the hot surface, to dissipate heat in a composite heat exchange mode. The cooling fins do not require additional drive energy to dissipate heat, and are the most typical passive heat dissipate element. In order to enhance the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling fins, there are generally two methods, one is to apply a thermal paste between the two surfaces, rather than directly contacting the heating surface, and the thermal paste is capable of enhancing the heat transfer efficiency, better than the direct contact of the two metals; the other is to increase the heat dissipation area of the fins, the mothed for increasing heat dissipation area is to design the cooling fins with grooves.
(22) The LED lighting devices, like all electronic parts, generally produce heat and rise temperature during use or operation. If the heat dissipation problem is ignored, the LED lighting device will be burned down due to high temperature. The LED lighting devices are designed to be more complex than traditional lighting devices, including optics, mechanisms, electronics and heat dissipation, where heat dissipation is particularly important. Because the current conversion rate of the high power LED lighting device is only 20 percent, it will be converted into light, the remaining 80 percent will be converted to heat. If the heat of the lighting device can't be transmitted out, it will cause serious light failure, and may even damage the lighting device.
(23) In this high power bulb lighting device, the bulb shell 102 in FIG. 1 may be made of translucent or semi-translucent material, and the bulb shell 102 made of translucent material may provide bright light, and the bulb shell made oft semi-translucent material may provide relatively soft light, so that the transparency degree of the bulb shell can change the light atmosphere. There are many possibilities for the shape of the bulb shell 102, it may be spherical, water-drop, flame, square, cylindrical or other shapes. In general, the bulb shell of the LED light source must have the following characteristics: high light transmission, high diffusion, less glare effect, no light shadow, good light source concealment, light transmission rate to a certain extent or more, high flame resistance and high impact resistance.
(24) In addition to the above-described embodiments, various modifications may be made, and as long as it is within the spirit of the same invention, the various designs that can be made by those skilled in the art are belong to the scope of the present invention.
