Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Fig. 1 schematically shows the shape of a light distribution element 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the light distribution element 1 includes a plurality of sub-segments 100 combined with each other, and each of the sub-segments 100 is a part of a circumference. These subsections 100 can lie on at least one virtual circle 300 only by being moved. In one embodiment, the sub-segments 100 are moved to form one or more virtual circles 300. In another embodiment, the subsections 100 can be on at least one virtual circle 300 only translated, or only translated into one or more virtual circles 300. As described below.
In this application, the term "translating" refers to moving each point of the sub-segment 100 the same distance in the same direction. It should be understood that in the present application, the translation may be at least a left-right translation, an up-down translation, or a combination thereof. For example, the right subsection 100 is first translated downward into position and then leftward into position. In this embodiment, two sub-segments 100 are translated to form a virtual circle 300, and the angle of the virtual circle 300 is equal to 360 degrees. Tests have found that this helps to ensure the lighting effect of the lamp 6.
Fig. 2 schematically shows a luminaire 6 according to an embodiment of the invention. The luminaire 6 includes the plurality of luminous bodies 601 and the light distribution element 1 described above, and the plurality of luminous bodies 601 are arranged corresponding to the plurality of sub-segments 100. In a specific embodiment, the arrangement density of the light emitters 601 in the circumferential extension direction of the sub-segment 100 is 2-5 per 1cm, that is, the circumferential density of the light emitters 601 in the circumferential extension direction of the sub-segment 100 is 2-5/cm.
As shown in fig. 2, the lamp 6 further includes a lamp panel 602, a plurality of light emitters 601 are fixed on the lamp panel 602, and the light distribution element 1 is fixedly coupled to the lamp panel 602 and covers the corresponding light emitters 601. The lamp panel 602 may be used to power the luminaries 601.
It should be noted that, under the same illumination requirement, the lighting effect of the lamp 6 (as shown in fig. 2) using the light distribution element 1 shown in fig. 1 is the same as or almost the same as that of the lamp using the circular or ring-shaped light distribution element in the prior art, that is, has the same or almost the same optical characteristics. Therefore, on the premise of the same optical characteristics, the light distribution element 1 can be configured into a suitable configuration according to needs, so that the structure and the size of the light distribution element and the lamp can be flexibly designed. In particular, for a luminaire 6 that needs to be installed in a special-shaped space, such as an elongated space, a curved space, the light distribution element 1 of the present invention is very beneficial, since a plurality of sub-segments 100 can be combined into a light distribution element 1 of an elongated shape or a curved shape, so that the luminaire 6 can accommodate such a space.
In a preferred embodiment, the shape formed by combining the plurality of sub-segments 100 with each other is a symmetrical shape. In this way, the light distribution element 1 and the lamp 6 can also have a symmetrical shape, which contributes to a further lighting effect of the lamp 6. It should be understood that the symmetrical shapes described herein may be axisymmetric or rotationally symmetrical. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the light distribution element 1 has rotational symmetry with a center of symmetry I. It should be understood that the rotational symmetry described herein does not require that the sub-segments 100 be rotated to fit on the virtual circle 300, but rather that the sub-segments 300 fit on the virtual circle 300 only after translation.
In other embodiments, a plurality of sub-segments 100 may also be combined with one another to form an asymmetric shape. In this case, the lighting effect of the lamp 6 can be adjusted and/or ensured by providing different illuminants for different subsections 100. Of course, the lighting effect of the lamp 6 may not be adjusted according to the requirement.
In the exemplary embodiment shown in fig. 1, the light distribution element 1 is composed of two individual semicircular sub-segments 100 (i.e. with a central angle of 180 degrees), which are arranged at a horizontal spacing and which, after only translation, form a virtual circle 300. The distance D1 between the centers of the two sub-segments 100 is greater than the sum of the radii of the two sub-segments 100. Thus, the lamp 6 using such a light distribution element 1 can have a long and narrow shape.
In one embodiment, the central angles of the plurality of sub-segments 100 are equal. In this way, it is possible to easily configure the subsections 100 as symmetrically shaped light distribution elements 1, which helps to ensure the lighting effect of the luminaire 6. Preferably, the central angle is equal to or greater than 45 degrees. For example, the central angle may be 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 75 degrees, 90 degrees, 120 degrees, 145 degrees, 160 degrees, 180 degrees, etc. In this way, the subsegments 100 have a suitable circumferential length, which facilitates arranging the luminaires corresponding to the subsegments 100.
In one embodiment, the plurality of subsections 100 are equal in diameter. In other words, the plurality of sub-segments 100 may lie on the same virtual circumference only after translation, or may be spliced into one or more complete circumferences when the number of sub-segments 100 is sufficient. This further contributes to the formation of a symmetrical shape of the plurality of sub-segments 100. In a preferred embodiment, in a shape formed by combining a plurality of sub-segments 100 with each other, a ratio of a center-to-center distance D1 between two sub-segments 100 farthest from each other to a diameter of the virtual circumference 300 is greater than or equal to 1:1 and less than or equal to 5: 1. Compared with the existing lamp with the complete and/or partial circular light distribution element (for example, the light distribution element of the lamp is formed by splicing the sub-segments 100 after only translating), the lamp 6 using the light distribution element 1 with the structure of the present invention has a larger length-width ratio, and the lighting effect is the same as or almost the same as that of the existing lamp, so that the lamp 6 having the light distribution element 1 with the structure of the present invention can be completely used when facing a narrow installation space, which greatly facilitates the use.
In further embodiments, the central angle of at least one sub-section 100 is not equal to the central angle of the remaining sub-sections 100. For example, the center angle of the partial sub-segments 100 is 45 degrees, the partial sub-segments are 90 degrees, and the partial sub-segments are 180 degrees. In other words, the circumferential length dimensions of the subsections 100 are more varied, so that a greater variety of combinations is possible, and therefore a greater variety of shapes of the light distribution element 1 and the corresponding lamp 6 is possible, which further facilitates the installation and use of the lamp 6. In this case, it is preferable that the number of the sub-segments 100 is equal to or greater than 3, and the sub-segments with larger central angles are distributed on the periphery of the sub-segments with smaller central angles. It has been unexpectedly found that, with this configuration, in the lamp 6, the sub-segment having a larger central angle and the sub-segment having a smaller central angle compensate each other in terms of guiding light, so that the lighting effect of the lamp 6 can be ensured.
In another embodiment, among the plurality of sub-segments, at least one sub-segment has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the remaining sub-segments. For example, the diameter of a partial sub-section is 50mm, the diameter of a partial sub-section is 80mm, and the diameter of a partial sub-section is 30 mm. In the case of different central angles, the diameters of the subsections are selected to be different, so that the circumferential length of the subsections can be more varied, and thus more combinations are possible, and the shapes of the light distribution element 1 and the corresponding lamp 6 can be more varied, which further facilitates the installation and use of the lamp 6.
In one embodiment, in the luminaire 6, a larger number of luminaires 601 may be arranged corresponding to the sub-segments with larger diameter and a larger number of luminaires 601 may be arranged corresponding to the sub-segments with smaller diameter. In this case, preferably, the number of the plurality of sub-segments is equal to or greater than 3, and the sub-segments with larger diameters are distributed on the periphery of the sub-segments with smaller diameters. In this way, in the lamp 6, the sub-section with the larger diameter and the sub-section with the smaller diameter compensate each other in terms of light emission, so that the lighting effect of the lamp 6 can be ensured. For example, when the sub-segments with smaller diameters are arranged between the sub-segments with larger diameters, the sub-segments with larger diameters are arranged with larger intervals, so that the sub-segments with smaller diameters can compensate the dark areas between the sub-segments with larger diameters, and the lighting effect of the lamp 6 can be ensured. From this, can be with using the utility model discloses a lamps and lanterns 6 of light distribution element 1 of this kind of structure are constructed to have bigger length-width ratio, and the illuminating effect is the same with corresponding current lamps and lanterns or almost the same moreover, consequently when facing constrictive installation space, can use completely the lamps and lanterns 6 that have the light distribution element 1 of this kind of structure, this has made things convenient for the use greatly.
In the case where the sub-segments are not completely the same in diameter, in a shape in which a plurality of sub-segments are combined with each other, a ratio of a distance between centers of two sub-segments farthest from each other to a diameter of a virtual circumference having the largest diameter is 1:1 or more and 10:1 or less. For example, the ratio may be 1:1, 5:1, 8:1, or 10: 1. By means of the structure, the lamp still has a good lighting effect.
In one embodiment, at least one of the plurality of sub-segments 100 comprises a light-blocking region 301 and a light-transmitting region 302, the light-blocking region 301 is close to the center O of the circumference, and the light-transmitting region 302 is located radially outside the light-blocking region 301. In the lamp 6, the light shielding region 301 can be used to shield the interior of the lamp 6, especially components and wires arranged on the light source board, so as to improve the aesthetic property of the lamp 6. In a specific embodiment, a refraction pattern is configured in the light-shielding region 301 to achieve light shielding.
