## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a quick assembling structure for LED lamp and heat dissipating module, and more particularly to a quick assembling structure capable of reducing the time required for assembling an LED lamp set and a heat dissipating module.
2. Description of Prior Art
Since light emitting diodes (LEDs) feature the advantages of high brightness, power saving and long life expectancy, LEDs have been used extensively for the illumination of lamps. Several LEDs are usually arranged on a base board and connected with each other to form an LED module, and a plurality of LED modules are connected in series or in parallel to achieve an illumination effect to meet the requirements for a large projecting area and a high brightness. Since these LEDs come with a low heat resistance, a heat dissipating module is usually required for dissipating the heat produced by each LED, so that each LED can be operated at a lower temperature, and an LED lamp and a heat dissipating module are indispensable to each other. Therefore, it is an important subject for manufacturers in the related field to design a quick assembly for an LED lamp and a heat dissipating module.
In general, a traditional assembling structure for LED lamp set and heat dissipating body includes an LED lamp set and a heat dissipating body. The LED lamp set includes a casing, an LED module installed in the casing, an aluminum heat dissipating body attached onto the back of the LED module, a plurality of fixing holes disposed on the heat dissipating body, and a screw hole disposed on the casing and corresponding to the fixing hole. A fixing element such as a screw is passed through the fixing hole and screwed into the screw hole of the casing, so as to achieve the effect of combining the LED lamp set and the heat dissipating body.
However, the actual application of the prior art assembling structure for LED lamp set and heat dissipating body still has the following problems. Since the assembling process requires a fixing element such as a screw for the connection, the assembling process will be relatively slow, not only incurring a high labor cost, but also wasting a material cost for the screws. Such arrangement of the prior art significantly reduces the practicality and cost-effectiveness of the structure. Since the aluminum heat dissipating body does not have a high conductivity for conducting and dissipating the heat of the LED lamp set, therefore the heat dissipation effect is very limited. Particularly, after the high power LEDs are developed, the heat dissipation requirements of the current LED lamp sets cannot be satisfied at all, and the life expectancy of the LEDs in an LED lamp set is shortened significantly. These shortcomings of the prior art definitely require further improvements.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience in the related industry to conduct experiments and modifications, and finally designed a quick assembling structure for an LED lamp and a heat dissipating module in accordance with the present invention.
Therefore, the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a quick assembling structure for LED lamp and heat dissipating module that can be installed on a casing quickly by an LED module and an isothermal board. The invention not only reduces the labor cost required for the assembling process, but also lowers the material cost for a fixing element such as a screw.
The present invention provides a quick assembling structure for LED lamp and heat dissipating module that comprises an LED lamp set and a heat dissipating module, and the LED lamp set includes a casing and an LED module. The casing has a containing hole, a stopping member protruded from an internal edge of the containing hole, a plurality of support stands extended outward from an external edge of the containing hole, and corresponding latch portions formed on an internal side of the support stand. The LED module is contained in the containing hole of the casing and the LED module includes a base board and a plurality of LEDs fixed onto the bottom surface of the base board. The heat dissipating module has an isothermal board installed at a side of the support stand of the casing, and a surface of the isothermal board is attached onto the base board of the LED module and another surface is latched to the latch portion of the support stand.

The base board 21 has a stopping surface 213 disposed on a side of the base board 21 and attached onto a positioning member 14 of the casing 10, such that the base board 21 will be rotated after the base board 21 is installed in the casing 10. A protruding pillar 221 is extended from the rear of each LED 22 and embedded and connected to the fixing hole 211 of the base board 21.
The heat dissipating module 5 has an isothermal board 50 installed onto a side of the support stand 15 of the casing 10, and one of the sides is attached and connected to the base board 21 of the LED module 20, and the other side is latched to the latch portion 151 of the support stand 15. To cope with the heat dissipating requirements of various different types of LED modules 20, a heat dissipating plate (not shown in the figure) improves the thermal conduction and dissipation of the heat dissipating module 5. The isothermal board 50 of this embodiment includes a circular upper plate 51 and a corresponding circular lower plate 52 engaged to the bottom of the upper plate 51, and capillary tissues and operating fluids are filled into the lower plate 51, 52 to form a vacuum chamber, such that the thermal conduction mechanism of the gas and liquid phases are used for achieving a quick heat conduction effect, and the center of the isothermal board 50 has a wiring hole 53, and a power cable (not shown in the figure) can be passed through the wiring hole 53 to the outside for an electric connection.
The structure of the present invention further includes a plurality of elastic bodies 6, each having a cylindrical fixing section 61 and a circular disc clamping section 62 expanded outward from the fixing section 61, and the fixing section 61 is embedded into the through hole 131 of the stopping member 13, and the clamping section 62 is clamped between the corresponding surfaces of the stopping member 13 and the base board 21 of the LED module 20, such that the isothermal board 50 and the base board 21 can be attached closely with each other to improve the heat conducting effect.
