Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, and more particularly to an innovative lamp with an improved lampshade.
- An LED lamp generally comprises a main body, LED module, heat-radiating component and lampshade.
- The lampshade of the LED lamp is generally developed from a traditional light shield. However, LEDs in the LED lamp are distributed in a spotted state, so every LED is fitted with a light-reflection module to magnify the light spots, softening the bright light and generating a decorative spotted effect. Considering the assembly and disassembly work, every light-reflection module must be positioned securely.
- Thus, to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art, it would be an advancement in the art to provide an improved structure that can significantly improve efficacy.
- Therefore, the inventor has provided the present invention of practicability after deliberate design and evaluation based on years of experience in the production, development and design of related products.
- There is enhanced efficacy of the present invention.
- Through the structures of the lampshade, the circumferential locating edge, limitation surface, through-hole and snapping portion are combined. The circumferential locating edge is adapted to the wall edge of the hold tank, providing the lampshade with a reliable, circular support surface. The limitation surface of the lampshade is recessed into an inner edge of the circumferential locating edge, permitting the light-emitting surface of the light-reflection module to recess slightly and making light-emitting surface aesthetically pleasing. The through-hole on the limitation surface of the lampshade enables rapid sleeving and limitation of the light-reflection modules. With the circumferential locating edge and snapping portion on the wall edge of the hold tank, the lampshade and main body can be positioned and removed rapidly and easily. Thus, the lampshade is formed such that the light-reflection module could be positioned securely and removed easily.
- Based upon the structures of the present invention, the circumferential locating edge of the lampshade has a stepped external wall with big and small necks, and the wall edge of the hold tank has a stepped inner wall with big and small treads. The coupling area of the circumferential locating edge of the lampshade and the wall edge of hold tank could be further expanded for better assembly and positioning effects.
- Based upon the structures of the present invention, a shoulder is formed at one end of the light-reflection module. The shoulder is located in the through-hole of the limitation surface of the lampshade to further securely fix the light-reflection modules.
- Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
-
FIG. 1 shows an assembled perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 shows an exploded sectional view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 4 shows an assembled sectional view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 shows a partially enlarged sectional view of portion B ofFIG.4 . - The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
-
FIGS. 1-4 depict preferred embodiments of improved lampshade for an LED lamp of the present invention. The embodiments are only provided for explanatory purposes with respect to the patent claims. - The
lampshade 10 is assembled onto theport 31 ofhold tank 30 on themain body 20 of LED lamp A (an embedded light structure), so that light-reflection modules 50 located betweenport 31 ofhold tank 30 andLED modules 40 in thehold tank 30 are positioned securely. - The
lampshade 10 comprises a circumferential locatingedge 11 and alimitation surface 12. The circumferential locatingedge 11 is adapted with the wall edge ofhold tank 30 to define aninner edge 111 and anexternal edge 112. Thelimitation surface 12 is recessed intoinner edge 111 of the circumferential locatingedge 11 and is provided with several through-holes 120 for sleeving and limitation of the light-reflection modules 50. The circumferential locatingedge 11 and the wall edge ofhold tank 30 are coupled withsnapping portion 60. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 and4 , thesnapping portion 60 comprises a few locatingflanges 61, arranged at intervals on the circumferential locatingedge 11 of thelampshade 10, and acircular snapping groove 62 on the wall edge ofhold tank 30 of themain body 20. When thelampshade 10 is mounted into thehold tank 30 ofmain body 20, it could be snapped rapidly into thecircular snapping groove 62 via the locatingflange 61 for positioning purpose. - The circumferential locating
edge 11 of thelampshade 10 has a stepped external wall with big and small necks, and the wall edge of thehold tank 30 has a stepped inner wall with big and small treads. - A shoulder 51 is formed at one end of the light-
reflection module 50, so that it could be located in the through-hole 120 of thelimitation surface 12 of thelampshade 10 to securely fix the light-reflection modules 50. - Based upon above-specified structures, the present invention is operated as follows:
- Referring to
FIGS. 3 and4 , when theport 31 of thehold tank 30 of themain body 20 faces upwards, the light-reflection modules 50 are first placed intohold tank 30 of themain body 20 opposite to the LEDs onLED module 40. Then, thelampshade 10 is assembled into theport 31 of thehold tank 30 of themain body 20. In such a case, the light-reflection modules 50 are fastened into the through-hole 120 on thelimitation surface 12 of thelampshade 10 and are positioned through the circumferential locatingedge 11 of thelampshade 10 and snappingportion 60 on the wall edge of thehold tank 30. Thus, bothlampshade 10 and light-reflection module 50 are fixedly assembled and positioned with themain body 20.
