(7) Referring to FIGS. 1-3, lamp holder bulb shell 20 includes first electric terminal 21, second electric terminal 23 and insulating part 22 installed thereon. In one embodiment, lamp holder bulb shell 20 is a standard E27 screw based structure. First electric terminal 21 is an annular sidewall with a screw groove. Second electric terminal 23 is an eye pad made of metal. Insulating part 22 is an annular structure. First electric terminal 21 includes openings on the top and bottom. Second electric terminal 23 connects to first electric terminal 21 through insulating part 22. Driving board 40 includes first electrode 41 and second electrode 42 located thereon. Inside liner 50 includes hole 53 therein. First electrode 41 and second electrode 42 of driving board 40 pass through hole 53 and respectively connect with first electric terminal 21 and second electric terminal 23 of lamp holder bulb shell 20.

(8) Inside liner 50 is fixed inside first electrical terminal 21. First electrode 41 is a conductive wire and electrically connects to first electrical terminal 21. First electrode 41 is deviously located between inside liner 50 and the sidewall of lamp holder bulb shell 20. Second electrode 42 is a conductive wire and is fixed between second electric terminal 23 and insulating part 22 using pressure.

(9) Referring to FIGS. 1-3, inside liner 50 is made of deformable material. Convex ring 51 is located in outside wall of inside liner 50. Inside liner 50 is fixed to the inside of first electric terminal 21 through convex ring 51. First electrode 41 is located between convex ring 51 and first electric terminal 21. Hooking slot 52 is located on the sidewall of inside liner 50 and connects to hole 53. First electrode 41 passes through hooking slot 52.

(10) First electrical terminal 21 has a spiral groove. Two convex rings 51 are fixed on the outside wall of inside liner 50. Distance between two convex rings 51 corresponds to the distance between consecutive troughs of the spiral groove.

(11) Referring to FIGS. 1-2, globe bulb shell 10 is a transparent or translucent glass bulb shell and is located on lamp holder bulb shell 20. Lamp holder bulb shell 20 is secured on globe bulb shell 10 through welding mud powder.

(12) LED filament component 30 comprises core pillar 32 and LED filament 31. LED filament 31 comprises a transparent substrate and LED chip sealed in the transparent substrate. The connecting pillar 33 is located on core pillar 32 faced to driving board 40. The connecting part 43 is located on driving board 40 and is clamped to the bottom of the connecting pillar 33.

(13) Globe bulb shell 10 and LED filament component 30 forms a sealed chamber. Gases with low molecular weight and high thermal conductivity are filled in the sealed chamber. The gases are capable of transmitting heat generated from LED filament component 30 to globe bulb shell 10. Gas used can be Helium, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide or any of the inert gases, such as Neon and argon. Other gases that can be used include Ethers, methane and ammonia.

(14) Since inside liner 50 is made of insulating material and driving board 40 and lamp holder bulb shell 20 are separated from each other by inside liner 50, short circuits resulting from contact between driving board 40 and lamp holder bulb shell 20 can be avoided. Inside liner 50 can also stop the accidental contact between driving board 40 and lamp holder bulb shell 20 during transportation and large vibration. First electrode 41 can be fixed by hooking slot 52, thus movements of first electrode 41 along the outer peripheral of inside liner 50 and affection of the electrical connection therebetween can be reduced. As the globe bulb shell and the LED filament component forms a sealed chamber and high thermal conductivity gas is filled therein, LED filament lamp 100 has the advantage of good heat dissipation. Globe bulb shell 10 is stably secured to lamp holder bulb shell 20 through welding mud powder. Inside liner 50 and lamp holder bulb shell 20 is interference assembled, thus inside liner 50 can be steadily snapped into lamp holder bulb shell 20 without additional structure.

(15) Because core pillar 32 is fixed onto driving board 40 through a connecting pillar 33, the relationship between driving board 40 and core pillar 32 is fixed. The electrical connection between filament components 30 and driving board 40 damaged by the motion of driving board 40 can be avoided. The setting of the connecting pillar 33 makes the overall structure steadier. As first electrode 41 is deviously located between inside liner 50 and the sidewall of lamp holder bulb shell 20, and second electrode 42 is pressured by convex ring 51 located on the outside wall of inside liner 50, first electrode 41 can be electrically connected to the sidewall of lamp holder bulb shell 20 without an additional conductor and can be easily assembled.

(16) As stated above, by separating driving board 40 from lamp holder bulb shell 20 via setting inside liner 50, the short circuit issue caused by directly inserting driving board 40 into lamp holder bulb shell 20 can be reduced. First electrode 41 is deviously located between inside liner 50 and the sidewall of lamp holder bulb shell 20. First electrode 41 can be electrically connected to the sidewall of lamp holder bulb shell 20 with the setting of convex ring 51. By designing the electric connection between driving board 40 and LED filament component 30 and the electrical circuit between driving board 40 and lamp holder bulb shell 20, the overall electrical structure of the lamp is modified, simplified and easily assembled.

(17) It is to be noted that, hooking slot 52 installed on the outside wall of inside liner 50 is optional. Hooking slot 52 is used to avoid any affects on the electrical connection by movement of first electrode 41 along the outer peripheral of inside liner 50. Other ways of fixing can be used, if inside liner 50 matches closely with the side wall of lamp holder 20 to fix first electrode 41, hooking slot 52 can be optional or be replaced by other fixtures, such as through a hole or hooker, when the electrical connection between first electrode 41 and lamp holder bulb shell 20 is not affected.
