Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) lamp tube heat dissipating structure is capable of dissipating heat in a tube quickly to improve the heat dissipating efficiency. A circuit board with a light radiating surface and a heat dissipating surface is contained in the tube, and the light radiating surface of the circuit board is electrically connected to LED lamps. Two conductive bushings are sheathed onto both ends of the tube and electrically connected with the circuit board, and at least one heat dissipating hole is disposed separately on both distal surfaces of the tube that covers the heat dissipating surface of the circuit board, such that external air is entered into the tube from the heat dissipating hole on a distal surface of the tube and dispersed from the heat dissipating hole on another distal surface of the tube for dissipating the heat in the tube.

Claims (9)

1. A light emitting diode (LED) lamp tube heat dissipating structure, comprising:

a tube;

a circuit board, contained in the tube, and having a light radiating surface and a heat dissipating surface;

a plurality of LED lamps, installed on the light radiating surface of the circuit board and electrically coupled with the circuit board;

two conductive bushings, sheathed onto both ends of the tube respectively, and electrically coupled with the circuit board; and

at least one heat dissipating hole disposed separately on both distal surfaces of the tube that is covered onto the heat dissipating surface of the circuit board, such that the heat dissipating surface faces towards the heat dissipating hole.

2. The light emitting diode (LED) lamp tube heat dissipating structure of claim 1 , wherein the tube is made of a light transmitting plastic material.

3. The light emitting diode (LED) lamp tube heat dissipating structure of claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipating hole comes with a quantity greater than one.

4. The light emitting diode (LED) lamp tube heat dissipating structure of claim 1 , wherein the LED lamps are disposed with an interval apart from each other and on the light radiating surface of the circuit board.
