Specification

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure, in general, relates to an electric driver and, in particular, relates to an electric driver that produces light using Light emitting diode (LED) luminaire, wherein the LED luminaire can be a bulb, a spotlight, a downlight, and so forth.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Light-emitting diode (LED) devices are more efficient than most forms of widely used lamps, for example, incandescent, high-intensity discharge (HID) light sources, and the like. One advantage of using LED devices is that LEDs are more efficacious than incandescent light and more efficacious than some fluorescent and low wattage HID light sources. Another advantage of LED device usage is that the LEDs may be configured as low voltage, low energy devices. Another advantage of the LED devices is that of the longer life when compared to other light forms.
[0004] In traditional DOB LED bulbs a metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) comprises of all the components which are mounted on the MCPCB, which poses certain difficulties in the effective functioning of the LED bulb and thus reduces its efficiency. In the existing state of the art the conventional designs consist of direct AC wire soldering having a Metal oxide varistor or a Wire wound

resistor (WWR) on the MCPCB due to which the High Voltage (HV) dielectric layer on the MCPCB has to be 2KV.
[0005] MCPCB need to be 2 KV The disadvantages associated with the conventional design are the following:
a. Reduced life of surge protection drive (SPD) component.
b. Possibility of development of a shade or spot on difluser due to
a SPD component.
c. Requirement of high grade dielectric materials for handling of
alternate current (AC) on MCPCB.
d. Overloading of components on the MCPCB.
e. Possibility of a disconnection amongst the components of the
MCPCB due to overheating of the board.
f Reduced lamp life due to excessive heating.
g. In some cases, input wire is connected with the help of a connector which may loosen up its fitting in case of improper handling thus resulting in lamp not burn.
h. Connector may pose disadvantages in the longer run due to a loose or improper connection over a period of time or may have chances of multiple ON and OFF, which in return affects the over life of a lamp and is not suitable for a longer use.
i. Connection issues over certain time interval thus resulting in reduction in life of lamp.
j. Overheating of surge protection device (SPD) component heats up frequently and thus reduces the consumer preference.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need for such a device or such an LED driver which can overcome the above-described limitations and obtain maximum operating

efficiency in a cost-effective manner which is unique in its design and exhibits prime quality for use over a sufficient period of time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the disclosure depicted in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are in such detail as to clearly communicate the disclosure. However, the amount of detail offered is not

intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
[0040] As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of "a," "an," and "the" includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of "in" includes "in" and "on" unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0041] The present disclosure aims to solve a technical problem of reducing the requirement of high amount of di-electric layer in a metal core printed board in a LED luminaire in such a way that it comprises of an integrated hybrid structure that increases the operating efficiency of the LED luminaire in a cost-effective manner.
[0042] In the LED illuminations, heat transmission and its management during the operation of a LED luminaire, such as LED Bulb or LED downlight, is always a major concern. The conventional systems of existing LED Bulb 100 are designed in such a way that all the components are mounted on a metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) 101, due to which board becomes over-crowded as shown in FIG. 1 which illustrates the structure of the existing connection between a PCB driver and a MCPCB in LED Bulbs. It has been observed that the heating profile onboard is not stable and the assembly process is also complex in the existing system. The uncontrolled heat dissipation may have chances to form shade on difiuser due to which overall product appearance gets disturbed.
[0043] Further, along with heat management, it becomes necessary that the device is cost-effective, easy to assemble and capable of mass production in order to meet the large market demands as compared to the conventional DOB LED bulbs available in the market.
[0044] To address this, the present disclosure provides a hybrid driver for a retrofit LED bulb leading to a reduction of di-electric requirement of the metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) and a simplified design of the child PCB connected

to the metal core printed board (MCPCB) resulting in an improved beam pattern of the lamp and removal of spot formation over the difiiiser and further advantages.
[0045] Hybrid driver 200 is shown in FIG. 2, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The hybrid driver 200 can be easily converted to a conventional utility fixture using Incand.
[0046] FIG.2 provides a perspective view of the complete set of assembly of a hybrid driver 200 with an insight into the interconnection between the child PCB 300 and the metal core printed board (MCPCB) 400 along with a layout of the AC components on the hybrid driver 200.
[0047] As shown in FIGs 2, 3 and 4, the child PCB 200 is connected to a MCPCB 400 through a slot 401 provided on the surface of the MCPCB 400. The connecting portion 301 on the child PCB 300 is inserted into the slot 401 from the bottom of the MCPCB 400 at an angle in range of 70° to 120° at particular to 90° wherein the child PCB 300 is fixed into the MCPCB 400 using the soldering so as to attain a stable structure and connection.
[0048] In accordance with the above description, the connection of the child PCB 300 with the MCPCB 400 is in form of a U-shape such that the connecting portion 301 has a provision of a slot to insert and solder the slot 401 on the MCPCB 400 directly. Further, the child PCB 300 as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 (top, bottom and side view of the child driver PCB 200) comprises of components such as metal oxide varistor (MOV) or wire wound resistors (WWR) or MPP/MPET capacitor and/or all alternate current (AC) components which convert the alternate current (AC) into direct current (DC). The child PCB 300 supplies voltage and current with reduced and controlled surge to the MCPCB 400 which results into a reduced requirement of di-electric layer on the MCPCB 400 for a better performance and cost efficiency.

[0049] Further illustrated in FIGs.2, 3 and 4 the child PCB 300 is connected to the MCPCB 400 in such away the locking mechanism is a U-shaped lock wherein the connecting portion (301) is interlocked inside the slot (401) provided on the surface of the MCPCB 400 and further the connecting portion 301 is soldered to the surface of the MCPCB 400. This also reduces the component count on the MCPCB 400 which in return controls heat dissipation and transmission of heat in the heating zone over the MCPCB 400.
[0050] As illustrated in FIG. 5 during the assembly of a LED bulb, firstly the child PCB 300 is inserted into the MCPCB 400 through the slot 401 wherein the connecting portion 301 is interlocked into the slot 401 wherein the child driver PCB 300 is slided to match the output solder pad of the slot 401 provided on the MCPCB.
[0051] The hybrid driver 200 provides for best output of light with an innovative design concept. Thermal regulation is optimized due to lesser components on the MCPCB 400 which also has the heating zone and thus life of the components on the child PCB 300 is also increased as they are not exposed to the heat dissipated on the surface of MCPCB 400. Further, the light distribution of lamp is also enhanced as the components on the child PCB 300 are not in the vicinity of the LED light source and no shade is casted on the difiuser which usually affects the distribution of light from the lamp.
[0052] Further, the AC voltage operation with controlled and low surge power supply is controlled by the child PCB 300 and thus the requirement of high di-electric in the MCPCB 400 is reduced which in turn reduces the cost of MCPCB 400 and possibilities of failure due to a AC-voltage spike are also removed.
[0053] Additionally, the requirement of a output wire gets removed due to a direct connection between the child PCB 300 and MCPCB 400 via the connecting portion 301 provided in such a manner that the connecting portion 301 has a provision of a slot to insert and solder the slot 401 on MCPCB 400 directly thus reducing the complexity of process and time of production at the same time.

[0054] In the above disclosure, the hybrid driver for retrofit LED bulb is having a few disadvantages related to heat management which can be associated with mechanical fitment of aluminium heat sink which provides more generation of heat and further it affects the functionality of MCPCB and child PCB and in total it provides an impact on the bulb functionality. To minimising above problem, the use of thermal paste is applied between aluminium heat sink and the MCPCB so as to minimize the air gap between them for better heat management. However, air is a big insulator, it does not provide the solution. The thermal paste application increase process and production cost and also add an additional thermal resistance to the flow of heat from LED to outside environment. Further, with respect to design concept, whole component were mounted on MCPCB, due to which the board looks so crowded, also heating profile on board is not stable. In addition to this, there may be chances of component disconnection due to overheat of LEDs. Moreover, the longevity of the LED bulb is reduced due to overheating. Therefore, there is a requirement to improvise the heat dissipation and provide solutions of problems existing in the currently designed LED bulbs.
[0055] Also, it can be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the LED luminaire/bulb may include, but not limited to, downlight, spotlight, false ceiling light, ceiling light, wall light, and the like. FIG. 6 illustrates an improvised version with technical advancement of the hybrid driver 200 for aHDLED downlight 600 in an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0056] In the embodiment of the present disclosure as shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the HD LED downlight 600 is incorporating the hybrid driver 200 inside a heat sink insert moulded within a plastic base part 702 (FIG. 7) of the HD LED downlight 600. In an aspect, the heat sink is an aluminium (Al) heat sink 701 which is insert moulded in the plastic base part 702 of downlight 600. This structure of the downlight 600 helps in better heat dissipation of overall lamp. Further, the downlight 600 includes the child PCB 300, wherein new electronic component of

MO V/WWR are mounted on the child PCB 300, which facilitates the high dielectric requirement of the MCPCB along with insertion of Al heat sink 701.
[0057] Further, the Al heat sink 701 facilitates mechanical locking of the MCPCB 400 to provide better heat management, wherein this mechanical locking avoids screw and eliminates the use of thermal paste in between a metallic heat sink and the plastic base part of the downlight 600. The special fitment ofMCPCB 400 to the Al heat sink 701 provides improvised heat management, wherein the thermal resistance points are reduced in the concept of mechanically locking the MCPCB 400 on the Al heat sink 701 which has special groove which is made with tight tolerance between the MCPCB Outer diameter and the inner diameter of the Al heat sink groove.
[0058] FIG. 7 illustrates an exploded view of the downlight 600 comprising a polycarbonate (PC) difiuser 703, the MCPCB 400, the child PCB 300, the Al heat sink 701, and the plastic base part 702. The assembly of each parts of the downlight 600 is explained in detail in Experiment Result section.

In FIG. 8 A, a red slot provided on the Al heat sink 701 is used to fix the MCPCB 400. With such slot, the Al heat sink 701 makes a proper contact area with the MCPCB 400. Such fixture of the MCPCB 400 within the downlight 600 prevents the MCPCB 400 from getting damaged, which leads to compensate the process time during production. In an aspect, as shown in FIG. 8B, one and more slots can be provided on the top surface of the downlight 600 to press fit the PC diffuser 703 during diffuser fitting process.
[0061] In an aspect, as shown in FIG. 8C, the hybrid driver 200 having the MCPCB 400 locked with the child PCB 300 is inserted from the top side of the downlight 600.

[0062] In addition to this, said child PCB/SPD (Surge Protection Devices) 301 based hybrid driver 200 used in the downlight 600 describes that special shaped set of LED lamp part would be able to provide separate SPD control and high voltage (HV) handling, thereby resulting in an increase in life of SPD component & better light distribution, with doing arrangement like below item, HV handling is also reduced over MCPCB result in better isolation to the overall lamp.
[0063] In an aspect FIG. 8D illustrates the top view of the hybrid driver 200 fixed in the plastic base part 702 including aluminium heat sink 701, wherein there is no gap in between insert moulded Al heat sink 701 and plastic base part 702 of the said downlight 600.
[0064] FIG. 9 illustrates the different views of the PC Diffuser 703. Further, said PC diffuser 703 used in the downlight 600 describes that special type of PC

material is used, because of which the LED light may not give harm during direct exposure. Also, the PC diffuser 703 has a special type of locking profile which will provide fine locking with body of the downlight 600.
[0065] FIG. 10 illustrates the downlight 600 in an assembled state as per an embodiment of the present disclosure.
