PHOSPHOR WHEEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18293687 titled 'PHOSPHOR WHEEL
The abstract describes a patent application for a phosphor wheel, which consists of a substrate with a phosphor layer on one surface and a heat dissipation member on the other surface. The heat dissipation member includes a protrusion in the center and fins around the periphery to conduct heat away from the substrate.
- The phosphor wheel includes a substrate with a phosphor layer and a heat dissipation member.
- The heat dissipation member has a protrusion in the center and fins around the periphery.
- The protrusion creates a gap between the substrate and the heat dissipation member to conduct heat away.
- Two fins are positioned opposite each other in the rotation direction of the heat dissipation member.
Potential Applications: - LED lighting systems - Display panels - Projection systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient heat dissipation in phosphor wheels - Improved performance and longevity of lighting systems
Benefits: - Enhanced thermal management - Increased reliability and lifespan of phosphor wheels - Improved overall performance of lighting systems
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Heat Dissipation Technology for LED Lighting Systems" This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as: - Automotive lighting - Architectural lighting - Entertainment lighting
Questions about Phosphor Wheel Technology: 1. How does the protrusion in the heat dissipation member contribute to heat conduction?
The protrusion creates a gap between the substrate and the heat dissipation member, allowing for efficient heat transfer.
2. What are the potential benefits of using fins in the heat dissipation member of a phosphor wheel?
Fins help dissipate heat effectively, improving the overall performance and longevity of the phosphor wheel.
Original Abstract Submitted
A phosphor wheel includes: a substrate having a first main surface and a second main surface; a phosphor layer provided on the first main surface; and a heat dissipation member disposed opposite the second main surface. The heat dissipation member includes: a protrusion provided in a central part of the heat dissipation member; and a plurality of fins formed by lancing a plurality of regions in a peripheral region outside the central part. The protrusion provides a set gap between the substrate and the heat dissipation member and conducts heat from the substrate to the peripheral region. Two fins among the plurality of fins are formed on sides of the corresponding region opposite each other in a rotation direction of the heat dissipation member.
