Abstract

An LED street light includes a bottom cover, a top cover connected with the bottom cover, a lamp board, and a plurality of lenses mounted on the top cover. The lamp board comprises a plurality of LEDs. A substantial portion of the top cover and bottom cover is composed of thermally conductive material. The bottom cover comprises a plurality of outwardly extending extensions aiding in heat dissipation. The top cover includes a plurality of recesses receiving the LEDs, and each recess includes a plurality of side walls and a bottom surface providing a large heat-dissipating area. One or more of the recesses includes at least one opening between two adjacent side walls.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An light-emitting diode (LED) assembly, comprising:
a bottom cover;
a top cover, the bottom cover and the top cover forming a receiving space;
a lamp board positioned within the receiving space;
a plurality of lenses mounted on the top cover;
wherein, the lamp board is comprised of a plurality of LEDs;
wherein, a substantial portion of the top cover and bottom cover is composed of thermally conductive material;
wherein, the bottom cover includes a plurality of outwardly extending extensions aiding in heat dissipation;
wherein, the top cover includes a plurality of recesses formed by a plurality of recess side walls and a recess bottom surface;
wherein, a lamp hole extending through the top cover to is define in one or more of the plurality of recesses with one or more of the LEDs positioned in the lamp hole and one or more of the plurality of lenses is positioned over the LED; and
wherein, one or more of the recesses include one or more openings between adjacent side walls.

2. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the extensions on the bottom cover are heat dissipating columns.

3. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the extensions are spaced from each other; one end of the extension away from the bottom cover has a smaller diameter than that of the other end.

4. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of each of the plurality of the recesses defines a lamp hole for transmitting light; the LED is placed in the lamp hole, and the lamp hole is covered by the lens.

5. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the top cover away from the lamp board comprises two parallel edges and a separator plate positioned between the two edges; at least one side wall of the recess extends from the separator plate to the edge, and the height of the side wall decreases as the distance to the separator plate increases.

6. The LED street light of claim 5 , wherein the recesses are trapezoid-shaped and comprises four side walls; the opening is placed between the two side walls adjacent to the edge of the lamp board.

7. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the top cover further comprises a flange, and the bottom cover further comprises a ridge on a surface toward the lamp board; the flange is latched in the ridge.

8. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the lamp board further comprises a thermally conductive adhesive on a surface toward the bottom cover; the lamp board and the bottom cover are fixed together by the thermally conductive adhesive.

9. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the bottom cover further comprises a plurality of blind holes, and the top cover further comprises a plurality of threaded holes correspond to and mate with the blind holes.

10. The LED street light of claim 9 , wherein the lamp board further comprises a plurality of cutouts correspond to and mate with the blind holes.

11. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the top cover and the bottom cover are made of plastic thermally conductive materials.

12. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the bottom cover and the top cover are made of a composite of polyamide and graphite.

13. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the extensions are integrated with the bottom cover.

14. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the extensions are column shaped.

15. The LED street light of claim 1 , wherein the extensions are spike shaped.
