Field of invention
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a light emitting device, and more particularly to a light emitting device of light emitted diode.
Background of invention
[0002] With the continuous progress of light emitting diode technology, more and more products using the characteristics of light emitted diodes are designed. In addition to replacing the lamp in the past, a variety of light bulbs have also been developed.
[0003] Light emitted diode referred to as LED. And is made of a compound containing gallium (Ga), arsenic (As), phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), or the like. When the electrons recombine with the holes, visible light will be emitted, thus it can be used to make light emitted diodes. It can be used as an indicator, or displayed as words or numbers in the circuit and instruments. Gallium arsenide diode emits red light, gallium phosphide diode emits green light, silicon carbide diode emits yellow light, gallium nitride diode emits blue light. Because of its chemical properties, it also can be divided into organic light emitted diode (OLED) and inorganic light emitted diode(LED).
[0004] Lighting is an important part of human life, although the LED technology itself is quite mature, people still hope to design more lighting products to improve the quality of life. In order to achieve a variety of product designs, including cooling, power connection, driver, and even manufacturing cost, complexity, there are a wide range of technical issues to be resolved.
Summary of the invention
[0005] The first embodiment of the instant disclosure provides a lighting device, comprising translucent shell, bottom base, lamp base, light bar module and metal support bar. The translucent shell may be fully translucent, or partially translucent. For example, the translucent shell could be made of a translucent material such as glass, plastic material, etc., and may be further atomized or patterned on the surface in whole or in part.
[0006] The bottom base is connected with the translucent shell to form a receiving space together. For example, when the lighting device is a light bulb, the bottom base is a bulb head, and two conductive terminals are provided in side and bottom for connecting to an external power source. In another embodiment, a removable or rechargeable battery is provided in the inner space. If the external power supply is directly connected, a driving circuit may be provided for converting the general indoor power to a voltage suitable for driving the light emitted diode.
[0007] The lamp base set on said bottom base, with a table-board, and said lamp base is arranged in said receiving space. The light bar module is formed by connecting two or more light bars in series, said two or more light bars have two supporting points, and the light bar module has two electrical connection points. Taking light emitted diode bulb as an example, a number of light emitted diode chips can be packaged in series into a light bar. And then the light bars can be further connected in series or in parallel. For a chip of light emitted diode, a positive voltage terminal and a negative voltage terminal are required. They can be connected to the voltage supply point of the drive circuit to drive the chip of light emitted diode to emit light.
[0008] Two or more metal support bars extend upwardly from said table-board of said lamp base and connect to said one support point, respectively. The upward direction mentioned here refers to a variety of directions extending away from the lamp base and towards the translucent shell.
[0009] In addition, two metal conducting bars extend upwardly from the lamp base and connect to two electrical connection points of the light bar module, respectively. Wherein said metal support bar, said light bar and said metal conducting bar form two substantial triangular frame structures.

Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to these examples, as long as the combination ways can achieve a substantially similar effect, all should be considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
[0010] In a design, the lamp base also has a certain degree of transparency. For example, the lamp base could be made of glass. And the translucent shell also could be made of glass.

[0011] A pipe may be left in the blown manufacturing process, it can be used to fill the cooling gas. The method of operation in practice includes placing the lamp in a vacuum environment and then pouring various cooling gases. In some embodiments, when the power of the light emitted diode is small, the cooling gas may not be completely filled but maintain the proportion of air at, for example, 3% or more. It not only can produce a certain adjustment to the light emitting effect, but also reduce the manufacturing process's requirements and cost.
[0012] In some embodiments, said table-board of said lamp base substantially kept flat, no raised configuration. This does not mean that a certain flat is necessary, but no substantially apparent raised structure. The support of light bar is mainly achieved by the metal support bar.
[0013] In some embodiments, the height of said table-board of said lamp base is lower than the bottom position of said light bar in said light bar module.
[0014] In some embodiments, said metal support bar connects and supports said light bar module through a fastening structure at said support point. For example, there are a certain bending, buckles, springs, hooks, grooves or bumps at the support point of the metal support bar or light bar, therefor the complicated welding process can be omitted. Or even the welding process is needed, it can further enhance the stability of the structure.
[0015] In some embodiments, the appearance characteristics of said metal support bar are substantially same as said metal conducting bar.
[0016] In some embodiments, said metal support bar and said light bar module constitute an assembly unit and form a predetermined shape, and then mounted to said lamp base in the manner of said assembly unit. In this way, the complexity of assembling can be reduced to a certain extent.
[0017] In some embodiments, the rigidity of said metal conducting bar can maintain it at a fixed shape. In some embodiments, said metal support bar has a groove paralleled to the direction of said metal support bar extending from said lamp base. For example, said metal support bar is elongated and folded at a certain angle along the direction of extension to achieve greater rigidity with less material. In some embodiments, said metal support bar is nickel plated.
