Abstract

A focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp includes a lamp seat and a lens barrel being extendably assembled to the lamp seat. The lamp seat has an LED chip mounted thereon. The lens barrel includes a barrel body having a bottom portion and an opposing top portion, and a lens mounted to the top portion. The bottom portion of the lens barrel is assembled to the lamp seat via an extension coupling structure, such that the lens is located above the LED chip to cover the same. With the extension coupling structure, the lens barrel can be adjusted in position to project from the top of the lamp seat by different distances, so that the focal length between the lens and the LED chip can be regulated to accordingly regulate the focusing and diffusing effects of light emitted from the LED chip.

Claims (13)

1. A focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp, comprising:

a lamp seat having an LED chip mounted on a top thereof; and

a lens barrel including a barrel body having a bottom portion and an opposing top portion, and a lens mounted to the top portion; the bottom portion of the barrel body being assembled to the lamp seat via an extension coupling structure, and the lens being located above the LED chip to cover the same, wherein the extension coupling structure includes an internal screw thread provided in the lamp seat and an external screw thread provided on an outer wall surface of the bottom portion of the lens barrel; and the external screw thread being adapted to mesh with the internal screw thread, allowing the lens barrel to be screwed onto the lamp seat by different depths.

2. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the internal screw thread provides a screw stroke longer than that provided by the external screw thread.

3. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the lamp seat is internally provided with an annular recess, so that a raised island portion is formed at a central area of the lamp seat; the LED chip being located on a top of the island portion, the internal screw thread being provided on a radially outer wall surface of the annular recess to space from the island portion, and the barrel body of the lens barrel being extended into the annular recess with the external screw thread meshed with the internal screw thread.

4. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the lamp seat is formed on its top at a position immediately atop the internal screw thread with an annular sunken area, and a retaining ring is fixedly received in the annular sunken area.

5. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the retaining ring is held to the annular sunken area by means of at least two setting screws.

6. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the lamp seat is a heat-dissipating lamp seat capable of dissipating heat transferred thereto.

7. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the lamp seat is made of an aluminum alloy material.

8. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the lamp seat is provided on an outer wall surface with a plurality of radiating fins.

9. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lamp seat is a heat-dissipating lamp seat capable of dissipating heat transferred thereto.

10. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the lamp seat is made of aluminum alloy material.

11. The focusing mechanism for LED spot lamp as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the lamp seat is provided on an outer wall surface with a plurality of radiating fins.
