Cooling body, lamp and method for manufacturing a cooling body Description The invention relates to a cooling body for cooling a light element. Such cooling is particularly relevant if the lifespan of the light element depends on the temperature during use. The service life is shortened at a higher operating temperature. An example of a light element in which such a relationship can be found is a light-emitting diode 10 (LED) which has a high luminescence, for example a so-called power LED.
Japanese patent application JP2001243809 describes an electric lamp, which is provided with a part that is adapted to deliver heat, which is generated by a number of LEDs. The LEDs are mounted on a plate, so that they make a good thermal connection with this, which in turn is connected to the heat emission part of the lamp. The generated heat is led through the good heat conduction from the plate to the heat emission portion and then released to the environment by means of radiation. Although such a device promotes heat dissipation, it may still be insufficient under certain circumstances.
The invention has for its object to realize a more efficient heat dissipation, wherein heat convection can play a heat dissipating role in addition to radiation. To achieve this goal, the heat sink according to the invention comprises a heat sink with the features of claim 1. Due to the heat difference between the heat sink on the one hand and the surrounding air on the other, a convection flow is created in the openings of the heat sink, which causes additional heat emission. .
In one embodiment, the inner member is a substantially circular disc and the outer member is a ring enveloping the inner member. Due to its symmetrical shape, this embodiment contributes to a balanced heat dissipation. Moreover, this shape is extremely suitable for connection with standard lamp bases.
In one embodiment, at least one of an outer circumference of the inner member and an inner circumference of the outer member has a wavy surface pattern.
1028678 "* 2
Due to the presence of such a pattern, the contact surface between the heat sink and the air present in the opening is increased, whereby a greater heat emission to the convection flow is possible.
The inner part, the outer part and the at least one bridge element preferably consist of one piece. This prevents undesired heat gradient variations at the boundaries between different parts and enables simple manufacture, for example with the aid of extrusion.
The cooling body preferably comprises fixing means for fixing to a lamp base and / or a lamp balloon.
In order to promote heat dissipation by conduction from the inner part to the outer part, the inner part can be provided with heat conduction promoting means, for example so-called "heat pipes".
The heat sink is preferably made of anodized aluminum. This material has a suitable heat conduction coefficient, a low electrical conductivity coefficient and is also relatively easy to process.
The invention further relates to a lamp which, in addition to a heat sink according to one of the embodiments, comprises a lamp base for positioning the lamp and connecting the lamp to an electric source and at least one light element with a light emission side and a mounting side, wherein the at least one light element is connected with its mounting side to the inner part of the heat sink.
The light element can be a Light Emitting Diode (LED). The invention is particularly suitable for so-called power LEDs, i.e. LEDs with a high power, typically 1-5 watts.
The lamp preferably comprises a transparent protective body, which shields the at least one light element on the light emission side of the light element. Not only does such a protective body protect the light element, it also prevents users from receiving electrical shocks.
All embodiments of the lamp can be provided with a lamp bulb on the light emission side of the at least one light element. Diffuse light can be obtained with the aid of such a lamp balloon.
The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a heat sink from a base material, comprising: providing base material in an enclosed space; - providing an extrusion die with a suitable pattern on one side of the sealed space; - heating the base material to a predetermined temperature; - extruding the base material by pressing the base material under pressure through the extrusion die to form an extruded elongate object; - dividing the extruded elongated object with a predetermined size, thereby forming pieces according to the heat sink.
The invention will hereinafter be further explained by way of example with reference to the following figures. The figures are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, but merely as an illustration thereof. In addition: FIGURE 1 shows a heat sink according to an embodiment of the invention; FIGURE 2 shows a first embodiment of a lamp with a cooling body according to the invention; FIGURE 3 shows a second embodiment of a lamp with a cooling body 20 according to the invention.
Figure 1 shows a heat sink 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. The cooling body 1 consists of an inner part 2 and an outer part 3, which parts are mutually connected to one or more bridge elements 4. The inner part 2 is adapted to accommodate light elements, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and is preferably slightly recessed. The light elements can be placed on the inner part 2 in such a way that a good thermal connection between the light element and the inner part is effected, for example by making use of a suitable heat-conducting fastening paste. The inner part 2 also comprises materials with a sufficiently high heat conductivity, such as aluminum. A further improvement of the heat dissipation by conduction could be realized by making use of heat conduction promoting means. Thus, the inner part 2 can be provided with a heat-spreading film layer, as described, for example, in I 0286 78- [4]
U.S. Patent No. 6,658,850 to Novel Concepts Ine. So-called "heat pipes", i.e. sealed tubes with a liquid which ensures rapid heat conduction, can also be applied to or in the chin part 2. By using such heat conduction promoting means, as small a temperature difference as possible between the inner part 2 and the outer part 3 can be achieved, which benefits the speed of the heat dissipation.
In use, the light element generates an amount of heat that must be dissipated. Due to the good thermal connection between the light element and the inner part and a suitable heat conduction from the inner part 2 to the outer part 3, the heat can be carried from the inner part 2 via the one or more bridge elements 4 to the outer part 3 adjacent to the environment. The width and the number of the bridge elements 4 depends on the amount of heat that must be supplied to the outer part 3. The heat can be radiated through the outdoor unit. However, more is happening. Due to the arrangement of inner part 2, outer part 3 and the one or more bridge elements 4 there are openings 5 between inner part 2 and outer part 3. Because in use the temperature of all elements 2-4 is higher than the environment, the air in the one or more openings 5. This results in a rising air flow in the openings 5, which appears to work very well as a convection flow. Therefore, more heat can be dissipated than could be done with radiation alone.
Preferably, the heat sink 1, as shown in Figure 1, is circle symmetrical. That is, the inner part 2 is a circular disk and the outer part 3 is a ring enveloping the inner part, the centers of the disk and the ring coinciding. Due to this arrangement, the heat can be dissipated proportionally and there are as few "hot spots" in the heat sink as possible, which could disrupt efficient cooling.
The outer wall of the inner part 2 and / or the inner wall of the outer part 3 are preferably provided with a wavy pattern, for example in the horizontal direction as in figure 1. The wavy surface pattern provides for an enlargement of the contact surface between the elements 2-4 and the air in the openings 5. As a result, an even better heat transfer between the elements 2-4 and the air in the openings 5 is achieved. In addition to a wavy pattern, it is also possible that other surface-enlarging patterns are used, for example a rectangular serrated pattern.
Furthermore, preferably all elements 2-4 are made of the same material. This prevents temperature gradient variations within the heat sink due to 5 material transitions.
A heat sink, as shown in Figure 1, with a height of approximately 15 mm, the outer part 3 having a cross-section of approximately 50 mm, has been found suitable for adequate cooling of LED lamps with a dissipation of 6 to 10 watts.
Figure 2 shows a first embodiment of a lamp with a cooling body according to the invention. Again a cooling body 1 is shown with an inner part 2, outer part 3 and bridge elements 4. In contrast to the cooling body 1 of figure 1, the surface of the inner part 2 is slightly recessed. Light elements 10 having a mounting side and a light emission side 15 are provided on the surface. The cooling body 1 is connected to a lamp cap 11, in this case a lamp fitting as used with incandescent lamps. The cooling body 1 is therefore preferably arranged such that it can be attached to the lamp cap 11, for example in that it is provided with a screw thread or has dimensions such that it can be clamped around the lamp cap. Thus, also on the side of the lamp cap 11, a portion of the inner part 2 can be slightly recessed so that the lamp cap 11 clamps into this recessed part of the inner part 2. The connection can be made more durable by using an adhesive such as glue.
Electronic components, which are necessary for correct control of the one or more light elements 10, can be accommodated in the lamp base 11. The inner part 2 can be provided with holes for enabling electrical wiring of the one or more light elements. 10 from the lamp base 11.
To protect the one or more light elements 10, a transparent protective plate can be placed on the light emission side of the light elements 10, which shields the light elements 10 from the environment and galvanically. Furthermore, the cooling body 1 is preferably made of one or more materials with a low electrical conductivity (high electrical insulation), so that during use the reception of shocks upon contact is prevented.
10286 78 "6
Figure 3 shows a second embodiment of a lamp with a cooling body according to the invention. In this figure, the lamp comprises not only a heat sink 1 and a lamp cap 11, but also a lamp bulb 15. Where a lamp can be made with the lamp of Figure 2, the lamp of Figure 3 is more suitable for producing due to the presence of the lamp bulb 5 of diffused light. Moreover, by varying the properties of the lamp bulb 15, for example a change of transparency in a wide or a narrow wavelength range, light can be obtained with more / less diffusion and a specific color, respectively.
Figure 3 shows the three basic elements of the lamp separately. For a detachable attachment of the lamp bulb 15 with the cooling body 1, the lamp bulb 15 is provided with external screw thread 16, while the cooling body 1 comprises corresponding internal screw thread (not shown). In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the lamp cap 11 is provided with a raised edge 17 which can be clamped in the heat sink behind a ledge (not shown). In addition to the screw and clamp connections shown here, there are also other connection options for the connection between heat sink 1 and lamp cap 11 on the one hand and the connection between heat sink 1 and lamp bulb 15 on the other hand. The lamp bulb 15 can for instance be provided with a so-called bayonet fitting while the cooling body 1 comprises a suitable bayonet holder. The connection between lamp cap 11 and cooling body 1 can for instance be established by providing the lamp cap 11 with one or more recesses, which are dimensioned such that the one or more bridge elements 4 fit into these recesses.
It has already been described above that the heat sink 1 is preferably made of a material with good heat conduction and poor electrical conduction. In addition, it is preferable that the material is easy to handle in machining processes during manufacture. Anodized aluminum is a suitable material that meets all these requirements.
In order to obtain a cooling body 1 in which all elements 2-4 are made of the same material and also in one piece, extrusion can be used. With this technique, a suitable material is heated, for example with aluminum, to a temperature between 400-500 ° C and pressed through an extrusion die under high pressure. The result is an elongated object with a substantially «1028678-» 7 constant cross-section that can have solid, hollow or almost any desired pattern. Material machining at the ends can be prevented by applying so-called blow extrusion. By using a suitable mold and dividing the elongated object into discs of suitable size after extrusion, a suitable basic structure for the cooling body 1 can be obtained. In addition to openings 5, the mold can also provide openings in the inner part 2, which can be used for wiring the at least one light element 10. In order to obtain the detailed embodiments as shown in Figs. 1-3, the basic structures can be further used with the aid of known machining techniques, such as milling and turning.
The above description only describes a number of possible embodiments of the present invention. It is easy to see that many alternative embodiments of the invention can be devised, all of which fall within the scope of the invention. This is determined by the following claims.
