Abstract

A liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device has an isolated heating device disposed inside a mounting seat, including a cement resistor connecting to AC power supply and a constant current driver. The cement resistor would produce heat after being electrified and cause the flowing of the liquids in the liquid motion lamp. The constant current driver would convert the AC power into DC power for the LED bulb to project lights on the liquid motion lamp. With the isolated circuits of lights and heat as a combined composite module, the liquid motion lamp has great efficiency by distributing the sources of lights and heat, saving the energy and prolonging the durability of the LED bulb.

Claims (15)

1. A liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device, comprising:

a base frame having an AC supply cord arranged through;

a mounting seat with a hollow section arranged therein disposed on the base frame;

a transparent bottle disposed on the mounting seat as a liquid motion lamp with liquids and a plurality of glitters therein;

an isolated heating device disposed in the mounting seat, comprising a constant current driver, at least one substrate, a cement resistor, and a LED bulb; the constant current driver including a rectifying circuit and a driving circuit with the front end thereof connected to a power supply cord for converting AC power into DC power; the cement resistor being disposed on the substrate and connected to the AC power to produce heat for the liquid motion lamp; the LED bulb being disposed on the substrate and connected to the constant current driver to obtain DC power and become the light source for the liquid motion lamp; the cement resistor being arranged in a pre-determined distance from the LED bulb so as to form an isolated heating device with an isolated circuit to be combined with a lighting circuit as a composite module;

whereby the cement resistor would produce heat when the AC supply cord is electrified, causing the flowing of the liquids in the liquid motion lamp, and the LED bulb would project lights when receiving the DC power and create a vivid visual effect when the lights are reflected by the plurality of glitters in the liquid motion lamp.

2. The liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes a first substrate and a second substrate as the first substrate with a space in the middle being electrically connected to the AC power and having the cement resistor connected from above with a pair of connecting pins, and the second substrate having the LED bulb connected thereon and exposed in the space of the first substrate by combining from below, forming isolated circuits of lights and heat as a combined composite module with the cement resistor being arranged above the LED bulb in a pre-determined distance.

3. The liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the present invention further includes a heat dissipating rack disposed in the mounting seat, and the composite module with isolated circuits is disposed on the heat dissipating rack.

4. The liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the bottom of the composite module with isolated circuits has conducting adhesive to be fixed on the heat dissipating rack.

5. The liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the heat dissipating rack is a hollow case for the constant current driver to be disposed therein.

6. The liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the heat dissipating rack further has a fixing tube connecting the bottom thereof with the lower end of the fixing tube fixedly penetrating through the base frame.

7. The liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the AC supply cord is connected to the constant current driver and the first substrate by passing through the fixing tube from the base frame to the heat dissipating rack.

8. The liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the present invention further includes an assembling element engaging between the liquid motion lamp and the mounting seat which has a hollow space therein and an engaging section at the lower end thereof to fixedly engage on the mounting seat so that the assembling element would be fixedly engaging the mounting seat; and the liquid motion lamp has an inserting section to be inserted into the hollow space in the assembling element to fix the liquid motion lamp on the assembling element.

9. The liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the present invention further includes a hollow supporting bracket connecting the base frame with the mounting seat as the upper end thereof having an upper fixing seat that has an engaging space therein and is arranged in the same axis of the mounting seat, perpendicularly to the base frame, for the top end of the liquid motion lamp to be perpendicularly fixed in the engaging space of the fixing seat.

10. The liquid motion lamp with isolated heating device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the present invention further includes a bulb holder disposed on the upper fixing seat connecting to the AC supply cord through the hollow supporting bracket.
