Abstract

An omnidirectional LED light bulb includes a lighting cover, a main body, and a base. The lighting cover includes upper and lower covers, which are coupled together through first and second coupling sections formed on the upper and lower covers to form a bottom-open cover. The upper cover has an interior surface including a plurality of concentric engraved circular patterns circling around a center of the upper cover. The first and second coupling sections are coupled together in a completely sealed manner. The main body includes a casing receiving therein a power module and coupled to the lower cover with a sealing ring interposed therebetween. The casing has a top on which a lighting plate including light-emitting elements is mounted and electrically connected to the power module. The base is coupled to the main body.

Claims

1. An omnidirectional light-emitting diode (LED) light bulb, which comprises at least:

a lighting cover, which comprises an upper cover and a lower cover coupled together to form a bottom-open cover, the upper cover having an interior surface that comprises a plurality of concentric engraved circular patterns formed therein to circle around a center of the upper cover;

the upper cover having a bottom edge that forms a first coupling section, the lower cover having a top edge forming a second coupling section, the first coupling section being coupled to the second coupling section in a completely sealed manner, the lower cover having a bottom flange in which a plurality of holes is formed;

a main body, which comprises a housing in which a power module is arranged, the housing having a top, which, together with the lower cover, receive a sealing ring therebetween and is securely jointed by a plurality of fasteners connecting the holes, the top of the housing comprising a lighting plate mounted thereon, the lighting plate comprising a plurality of light-emitting elements and electrically connected to the power module; and

a base, which is coupled to the main body in an electrically insulated manner.

2. The omnidirectional LED light bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the concentric engraved circular patterns have a spacing distance that shows a predetermined proportional relationship with respect to quantity and locations of the light-emitting elements and thickness and light transmittance of the lighting cover.

3. The omnidirectional LED light bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the concentric engraved circular patterns are made through a predetermined machining process based on accurate calculation in order to enhance light diffusion and light distribution of the lighting cover.

4. The omnidirectional LED light bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the concentric engraved circular patterns are formed by fine cutting in the vertical direction and the spacing distance between the concentric engraved circular patterns is calculated to be in alignment with sizes of an outside diameter curve of the upper cover and each intersection point so as to form a curved surface of assembly of straight lines.

5. The omnidirectional LED light bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the upper cover has a central portion that forms a central section, the central section being formed a lens structure in order to increase illumination of the central section.

6. The omnidirectional LED light bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first coupling section and the second coupling section are respectively of mated recessed and raised structures, the recessed and raised structures being fit to each other and joined through ultrasonic or high frequency fusion to improve fusion strength and seal strength.

7. The omnidirectional LED light bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lower cover has an interior surface that comprises concentric engraved circular patterns formed thereon and corresponding to the upper cover to refract reflection light from the upper cover.

8. The omnidirectional LED light bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base is a casing in the form of insulation cylinder, the base having a lower portion having a circumferential surface in a threaded form, the base having a top coupled to a bottom of the main body with a separation plate arranged therebetween, the base and the main body being securely coupled through application of adhesive and screwing joint.

9. The omnidirectional LED light bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fasteners are bolts that threadingly couple the lower cover to a top of the main body.

10. The omnidirectional LED light bulb as claimed in claim 1, wherein the power module further comprises a power supply cover, which is arranged between the power module and the lighting plate to isolate thermal transfer therebetween.
