Abstract

A fastening type heat-dissipation structure for connecting a light-emitting module to an enclosure includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member separately attached to two opposite inner sides of the enclosure; and a flat plate, on which the light-emitting module is mounted. The flat plate is provided with at least a first extended section and at least a second extended section for abutting on and locking to the first and the second fixing member, respectively, so that the flat plate is firmly mounted in the enclosure via the fixing members. And, heat produced by the light-emitting module mounted on the flat plate can be transferred via the extended sections and the fixing members to the enclosure and dissipated from the enclosure into ambient air to enable largely upgraded heat-dissipation effect.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A fastening type heat-dissipation structure for connecting a light-emitting module to an enclosure, comprising:
 a first fixing member having a first fixing section for internally bearing against one side of the enclosure;   a second fixing member having a second fixing section for internally bearing against another side of the enclosure opposite to the first fixing member; and   a flat plate having at least a first extended section and at least a second extended section; the first extended section having a first mounting end for correspondingly abutting on the first fixing member, and the second extended section having a second mounting end for correspondingly abutting on the second fixing member; and the light-emitting module being fixedly mounted on a top surface of the flat plate.   
     
     
         2 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first mounting end is fixedly connected to the first fixing member by means of a fastening element. 
     
     
         3 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second mounting end is fixedly connected to the second fixing member by means of a fastening element. 
     
     
         4 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting module is locked to the top surface of the flat plate by means of at least one fastening element. 
     
     
         5 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting module is an LED module. 
     
     
         6 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a thermally conductive element provided between the first fixing section and the enclosure. 
     
     
         7 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a thermally conductive element provided between the second fixing section and the enclosure. 
     
     
         8 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the thermally conductive element is selected from the group consisting of thermally conductive tape and thermally conductive silicone adhesive. 
     
     
         9 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the thermally conductive element is selected from the group consisting of thermally conductive tape and thermally conductive silicone adhesive. 
     
     
         10 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the enclosure is a lamp shell. 
     
     
         11 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a first heat pipe; the first heat pipe being extended across an inner space of the enclosure to locate between the flat plate and the enclosure; and having a first end extended through the first fixing section to locate between the first fixing section and the enclosure, as well as a second end extended through the second fixing section to locate between the second fixing section and the enclosure. 
     
     
         12 . The fastening type heat-dissipation structure as claimed in  claim 11 , further comprising a second heat pipe; the second heat pipe being extended across an inner space of the enclosure to locate between the flat plate and the enclosure; and having a first end extended through the first fixing section to locate between the first fixing section and the enclosure, as well as a second end extended through the second fixing section to locate between the second fixing section and the enclosure.
