Definitions

  • the present invention concerns the field of lighting equipment, and more precisely it relates to a method for making a finned heat dissipation device for a lighting apparatus that comprises power LED chips.
  • the invention relates to a power LED lighting apparatus with a high performance cooling system.
  • elements are available comprising power LED chips, which are made by microelectronic technology, where arrays consisting of a large number of single LED chips are very closely put together.
  • the power of a LED chip may be several Watts, normally it may range from 1 Watt up to several tenths of Watts, and a very high efficiency can be attained, for example, a luminous efficacy of more than 100 lumen/watt.
  • Cooling is one of the most critical concerns of the equipment in which this kind of lighting element is used. In fact, the higher the temperature, the lower the efficiency of the electronics of the lighting elements, and if no temperature control is provided, they can bum out in a very short time.
  • a power LED chip-based lighting element should not exceed a prefixed temperature limit, according to the manufacturer's suggestions. Accordingly, such elements must be assembled on a support that is adapted to absorb a large amount of heat, and to dissipate, when steady state conditions are established, all the adsorbed heat, thus remaining at a temperature lower than said temperature limit.
  • cooling is obtained by finned radiator elements, which, when exposed to outside air, allow a suitable dispersion of the heat generated by a power LED chip.
  • a high power multi-LED projector can only be made, by the present techniques, if a forced air circulation is provided against the finned radiator elements.
  • the forced circulation which is obtained by a fan, has the following drawbacks.
  • the use of a fan causes an additional energy consumption, which reduces one of the main advantages of power LED lighting apparatus, i.e. their low energy consumption.
  • the use of a fan affects the design of power LED lighting apparatus, thus hindering the designers' creativity.
  • the mechanical parts of the fan often deteriorate over time, which reduces efficiency and produces irritating noise.
  • EP2072893 a power LED lighting apparatus is described, in which no fan is provided.
  • the cooling is carried out only by finned radiator elements which provide a plurality of heat exchange surfaces that extend radially from a cylindrical body.
  • a finned radiator element is manufactured by a molding process, in which high heat capacity materials are used.
  • very large finned surfaces are required to dissipate heat naturally, i.e. without using fan elements.
  • more aesthetically pleasant casings may be used to hide the finned radiator elements. This way, however, the heat exchange efficiency decreases, which reduces the duration of the power LED chip.
  • a lighting apparatus which comprises a finned radiator body that is connected to a head body containing a light source.
  • the light source is arranged between the finned body and the head body and no direct contact is provided. In this case, the cooling of the light source is only partial and not so high to allow using a high power LED light source.
  • a finned body for a power LED lighting apparatus comprising:
  • second through holes are made on said front seat, in particular said second through holes are arranged more externally with respect to said first through holes, wherein said second through holes cross said finned body starting from said front seat towards said last fin, said second holes arranged to allow an axial air circulation and to assist heat exchange, in particular if the finned body is enclosed within a casing.
  • the distance d i is a fixed distance, whereas the diameters ⁇ i have decreasing values.
  • the root from which the fins extend has a conical shape, whose apex points towards a last fin An that is located at the farthest position from the front seat of the block where the power LED is mounted.
  • the conical shape of the root of the fins Ai optimizes cooling, since the heat flux and the temperature substantially decrease starting from the front seat where the power LED is mounted, towards the last fin.
  • the maximum root cross section is located at the hottest region, i.e. at the centre of the support base. Such region serves as a heat accumulator, just next to the application seat for a power LED chip, where a maximum dissipation heat flux occurs.
  • the distance d i and the diameters ⁇ i are fixed lengths. In this case, the heat flux reaches more easily the fins that are located farthest from the application seat for a power LED chip.
  • all the fins Ai have a fixed radius.
  • a first group of fins of radius r1 and a second group of fins of radius r2 longer than r1 are provided, starting from said front seat towards said last fin.
  • said finned body comprises an externally screw threaded front fastening portion at said support base, said front fastening portion arranged to allow coupling of the finned body with a support sleeve that is adapted to support a reflector body and to allow built-in mounting, for example, within false ceilings, walls, and so on.
  • said screw threaded front fastening portion is treated with a heat conductive paste, for example with a silver heat conductive paste.
  • said finned body is anodized aluminum, preferably black anodized aluminum, in order to obtain a good heat conductivity also at the surface of it, thus increasing efficiency and duration of the power LED chip.
  • a 6060, or 6026 or 6082, magnesium and silicon aluminum alloy may be used, which has a good machine tool workability.
  • a power LED lighting apparatus comprising a finned body, said finned body comprising:
  • a tubular casing is coupled with said finned body, said tubular casing having a bottom in which circulation apertures are made.
  • the apertures allow the passage of electrical supply wires and assist air circulation and change within the tubular casing of fresh air that skims over the finned body.
  • tubular casing is fixed to said finned body by a ring nut provided with a plurality of axial holes that engage on said support base. This way, air circulation is allowed from a front space that surrounds said reflector body, towards a rear space, which surrounds said finned body.
  • an aperture ring mask is provided between said tubular casing and said reflector body, which allows air circulation between the environment about said tubular casing and said front space.
  • a fresh air flow enters through the aperture mask into the front space that surrounds the reflector body, passes through the holes of said ring nut, passes through said rear space surrounding the finned body skimming over said fins, passes also through the holes of the finned body, thus mitigating its temperature, and flows outwards through the circulation apertures made through the bottom of the tubular body.
  • the ring nut and the tubular body are made of a heat-conductive material, such that a conduction heat flux occurs from said finned body towards said tubular body, the wide outer surface of which forms an ideal heat exchange surface for controlling the temperature of the finned body and, accordingly, the temperature of the power LED chip.
  • a power LED lighting apparatus comprises a plurality of said finned bodies mounted on a plate that is made of a heat-conductive material, and in such a way that all finned bodies protrude from a first face of said plate, and that each front seat of said finned bodies protrudes from a second side of said plate opposite to said first face.
  • a respective power LED chip and reflector bodies are mounted on each finned body, at said front seat.
  • the array of elementary lighting apparatus is cooled naturally whichever is the lighting power of the apparatus to dissipate.
  • the plate may be suspended at a predetermined height with a second side facing downwards.
  • the number of elementary lighting apparatus of the array may be selected responsive to the required luminance value.
  • the plate may have a first downwards-facing side, and a second upwards-facing side, in order to cast light downwards, and may have a plurality of holes made through the plate in order to cause warm air to circulate upwards through the plate.
  • a power led spotlight is characterized in that it comprises a finned body that is made according to the previous claims.
  • the above described objects are achieved also by a method for making a finned body, such method comprising the steps of:
  • a further step is provided of making second through holes on said front seat, in particular said second through holes arranged more externally with respect to said first through holes, wherein said second through holes cross said finned body starting from said front seat towards said last fin, said second holes arranged to allow an axial air circulation and to assist heat exchange, in particular if the finned body is enclosed within a casing.
  • a finned body 100 for a power LED lighting apparatus comprises a plurality of fins Ai at a distance d i from one another.
  • Each fin Ai extends from a root of material 3 that has a circular cross section of diameter ⁇ i.
  • root 3 extends from a support base 1 having a front face or portion 1a on which a front seat 2 is made for a power LED chip 20, shown hereinafter.
  • root 3 from which the fins Ai extend has a conical shape, whose apex points towards a last fin An, opposite to front seat 2 of the block where power LED chip 20 is mounted.
  • the decreasing conical shape of root 3 of fins Ai optimizes cooling, since in the central part of support base 1 the heat generated by power LED chip 20 is collected and is quickly dissipated towards fins Ai through the large cross section of conical root 3.
  • the conical shape allows the heat flux to reach all the fins starting from support base 1, on whose housing support 2 power LED chip 20 is mounted, towards last fin An.
  • diameters ⁇ i have a fixed value.
  • the root is cylindrical, and allows a high heat flux towards the farthest fins, which are close to last fin An, and are therefore adapted to dissipate a larger heat amount.
  • Each fin Ai may have a fixed radius or, as shown in Fig. 6 , a proximal first unit of fins of radius r1 and a second distal unit of fins of radius r2 longer than r1 may be provided.
  • the diameter of the fins may increase starting from front seat 2 towards last fin An. This way, by making fins with different sizes, the encumbrance of the front part of the finned body is reduced by making variable size fins, in order to assist built-in installations and to maximize the heat exchange surface.
  • Support base 1 of finned body 100 comprises a screw threaded fastening portion 5, for connection with other parts of the lamp, which are shown hereinafter. Furthermore, the finned body has a first series of through holes 8a, for passage of supply wires, and can have a second plurality of aeration through holes 8b.

  • the rod is made of anodized aluminum, in particular of black anodized aluminum, in order to obtain a good heat conductivity also at the surface, thus increasing the efficiency and the duration of the power LED chip.
  • a 6060, or 6026 or 6082 magnesium and silicon aluminum alloy may be used, which has a good machine tool workability.
