Abstract

An LED lamp includes a heat sink, a circuit board, a threaded rod, a support post, and a base. The circuit board is fixed to the heat sink. One end of the threaded rod is fixed to the heat sink, and the opposite end of the threaded rod is fixed to one end of the support post. An opposite end of the support post is fixed to the base. The threaded rod, the support post, and the base are made of heat dispersing material with good heat conductivity. Heat generated by the circuit board is transferred directly to the threaded rod, or is transferred via the heat sink to the threaded rod, and the support post and the base.

Claims

1. An LED lamp comprising:

a heat sink;

a circuit board fixed to the heat sink;

a threaded rod comprising a first end and an opposite second end, the first end fixed to the heat sink; and

;

a support post and a base, wherein one end of the support post is fixed to the second end of the threaded rod, and an opposite end of the support post is fixed to the base;

wherein, the threaded rod, the support post, and the base are made of heat dispersing material with good heat conductivity, heat generated by the circuit board is transferred directly to the threaded rod, or is transferred via the heat sink to the threaded rod, and the support post and the base.

2. The LED lamp of claim 1, further comprising a cover fixed to the heat sink, wherein a heat diffusion chamber is defined between the heat sink and the cover.

3. The LED lamp of claim 2, wherein the threaded rod comprises a threaded shank extending through the circuit board, the heat sink, and the cover, wherein threads are formed in the lateral surface of the threaded shank, to increase a contact area between the threaded rod and the air in the heat diffusion chamber.

4. The LED lamp of claim 3, wherein the heat sink comprises a bottom and a convex portion protruding from the bottom.

5. The LED lamp of claim 4, wherein the circuit board comprises a first circuit board arranged on the top of the convex portion and a second circuit board arranged on a surface of the bottom away from the first circuit board.

6. The LED lamp of claim 5, wherein the threaded rod further comprises a head abutting against the first circuit board, a nut engages the threaded shank and abuts against a surface of the convex portion of the heat sink away from the first circuit board, to fix the first circuit board to the heat sink.

7. The LED lamp of claim 1, wherein the threaded rod and the support post are both hollow tubular structures to contain cables of the LED lamp.
