Abstract

An LED illumination apparatus includes a body, a light source module, a shell, and a driver. The light source module includes a substrate and an LED chip. The light source module is arranged on the body. The shell is made of transparent material and covers the light source module. The driver drives the light source module. A plurality of fins extends on one side of the body away from the light source module. The fins are integrally formed on the body by extrusion technology.

Claims

1. An LED illumination apparatus, comprising:

a body;

a light source module arranged on the body including a substrate and at least one LED chip;

a shell made of transparent material covering the light source module;

a driver driving the light source module; and

a steel tube having an opening, and the body connecting securely into the steel tube;

wherein a plurality of fins extends on a side of the body away from the light source module, and the body and the fins are integrally formed by extrusion.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a reflection plate attached on the substrate, and an opening being defined on the reflection plate corresponding to the location of the at least one LED chip.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a top cover having an orifice for the emission of light, wherein the top cover is fixed with the body by a fixing element, the shell having a central protrusion conformably fitting into the orifice.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the body further comprises a first fixing portion fixed with the fixing element.

5. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the top cover is formed by metal extrusion.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the body comprises a bottom plate and two side plates oppositely arranged, and a recess is defined by the bottom plate and two side plates.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the body further comprises two shutters, and the shutters are arranged at two longitudinal ends of the recess.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein each of the shutters is fixed on the bottom plate and the side plates by aluminum welding method.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a screw-fixed bracket, and the steel tube being tightly connected to the body by the screw-fixed bracket.

10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a seal bar is arranged between the body and the shell.

11. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising at least a lens located between the shell and the at least one LED chip and covering the at least one LED chip, the at least one lens having a light emitting angle of 60°
