Abstract

The present invention provides a heat dissipating structure for a light bulb and enhances the heat dissipating efficiency of the light bulb. The heat dissipating structure comprises a heat dissipating housing and a plurality of fins. The light source is assembled on the plurality of fins. The heat generated by the light source is conducted to the heat dissipating housing via the plurality of fins. In addition, a power driver is disposed at the bottom of the plurality of fins and dissipates heat through the heat dissipating housing. Thereby, the light source and the power driver, which are two heat sources, are disposed separately. Then the heat is transferred to the surrounding environment by means of the heat dissipating housing. Consequently, the overall heat dissipating process is accelerated, thus improving the light emitting efficiency and lifetime of the light bulb.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A heat dissipating structure for a light bulb, comprising:
 a heat dissipating housing; and   a plurality of fins, disposed surrounding the inner walls of said heat dissipating housing.   
     
     
         2 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 1 , and further comprising a substrate, screwed on said plurality of fins. 
     
     
         3 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of fins further comprise a annular member disposed at the center of said heat dissipating housing and connecting with said plurality of fins. 
     
     
         4 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 3 , wherein said annular member is hollow. 
     
     
         5 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 3 , wherein said annular member connects with said plurality of fins and some of said plurality of fins extend to the central part of said annular member. 
     
     
         6 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 3 , wherein the center of said annular member is a solid member. 
     
     
         7 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first heat dissipating holes are disposed on said heat dissipating housing. 
     
     
         8 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 7 , wherein the diameters of said plurality of first heat dissipating holes increase progressively from the bottom of said heat dissipating housing. 
     
     
         9 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of screw holes are disposed on said plurality of fins. 
     
     
         10 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 1 , wherein not all of the lengths of said plurality of fins are identical. 
     
     
         11 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 1 , wherein said heat dissipating housing and said plurality of fins are formed integrally. 
     
     
         12 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 1 , wherein an accommodating part is disposed at the bottom of said plurality of fins. 
     
     
         13 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 12 , wherein a power connecting part is disposed in said accommodating part and said power connecting part is a hollow member. 
     
     
         14 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 13 , wherein a power driver is disposed in said power connecting part. 
     
     
         15 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 13 , wherein a plurality of second heat dissipating holes are disposed on said power connecting part. 
     
     
         16 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 15 , wherein a plurality of first heat dissipating holes are disposed on said heat dissipating housing and opposed to said plurality of second heat dissipating holes. 
     
     
         17 . The heat dissipating structure for a light bulb of  claim 13 , wherein a plurality of vertical heat dissipating holes are disposed at the bottom and top of said hollow member.
