Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of textiles, in particular to an optical fiber braided luminous fabric used for automobile atmosphere lamps. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the automobile industry and the growing demand for personalization among consumers, the creation of an interior environment has become increasingly important. As a decorative element that can add a unique atmosphere to the interior space of a car, ambient lighting has become an indispensable part of modern car design. Traditional automotive ambient lighting is usually achieved through LED light strips or point light sources. Although it can create the desired atmosphere to a certain extent, it has great limitations in shape and pattern design, making it difficult to meet consumers' demand for diversified and personalized design. In addition, traditional ambient lighting requires more LED lights to achieve ambient lighting surrounds for the entire car, which increases the probability of damage and the cost is also high.

[0003] In order to meet consumers' higher pursuit of car atmosphere light design and reduce the setting of LED lights, it is necessary to develop a new form of atmosphere light. By using optical fiber as a medium for transmitting light and adopting a specific weaving process to embed optical fiber into the fabric, uniform distribution of light and flexible design of patterns can be achieved. Replacing traditional atmosphere lights with this fabric not only reduces costs, but also has higher flexibility, better light uniformity and stronger design plasticity, which can better meet the needs of creating interior atmosphere of the car.

[0004] Based on this, the applicant proposed a fiber optic braided luminous fabric for automotive ambient lighting to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims at the deficiencies in the prior art and provides an optical fiber braided luminous fabric for automobile atmosphere lamps.

[0006] The utility model solves the problem through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A fiber optic woven luminous fabric for an automotive atmosphere lamp comprises a warp knitted weft-inserted fabric formed by inserting weft yarns in the weft direction of a warp knitted fabric formed by warp yarns, the weft yarns comprising a plurality of optical fibers, the optical fibers forming a specific pattern on the warp knitted weft-inserted fabric, at least one end of the optical fibers being connected to a light source controller after being bundled, the light emitted by an LED light source being introduced through the light source controller, and being transmitted to the surface of the warp knitted weft-inserted fabric through the optical fibers to make the specific pattern glow.

[0008] Preferably, the surface structure of the optical fiber in the area where the warp-knitted weft inlay fabric needs to emit light is destroyed by sandblasting, so that light can be scattered out of the surface of the warp-knitted weft inlay fabric to form the specific luminous pattern.

[0009] Preferably, the material of the optical fiber includes PMMA plastic.

[0010] Preferably, the diameter of the optical fiber is 0.25 mm to 1 mm.

[0011] Preferably, the warp yarns comprise polyester or nylon synthetic fibers.

[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the polyester or nylon synthetic fiber ranges from 15 dtex to 300 dtex.

[0013] Preferably, the weft yarn further includes weft fibers, and the weft fibers include polyester or nylon synthetic fibers.

[0014] Preferably, the warp knitted weft insertion fabric is woven by a warp knitting weft insertion machine having one, two or three comb sections.

[0015] Preferably, the optical fibers are bundled to form a circular bundle head with a diameter of 1 mm to 8 mm.

[0016] Preferably, the optical fibers in the bundle head are arranged along the axial direction of the bundle head.

[0017] A method for weaving optical fiber woven luminous fabric for automobile atmosphere lamps comprises the following steps:

[0018] Step A: Using a warp knitting weft inserting machine to use polyester or nylon synthetic fiber as warp yarn to set the fabric structure according to the pattern requirements to form a warp knitted fabric;

[0019] Step B: inserting the optical fiber into the weft direction of the warp knitted fabric through a warp knitting weft inserting machine to form a warp knitted weft inserting fabric;

[0020] Step C: sandblasting the area of ​​the warp-knitted weft-inserted fabric that needs to emit light, destroying the surface structure of the optical fiber in the area to form a specific pattern;

[0021] Step D: Bundle the optical fibers into at least one bundle head, and install a light source controller at the bundle head.

[0022] Preferably, in step B, the warp knitting weft inlay machine inserts the optical fiber alone or with intervals of weft fibers as weft yarn into the weft direction of the warp knitted fabric.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0024] Firstly, the utility model adopts optical fiber as the medium for conducting light, and embeds the optical fiber into the fabric through a specific weaving process, thereby achieving uniform distribution of light and flexible design of patterns. Compared with traditional LED light strips or point light sources, this optical fiber woven luminous fabric has higher flexibility and design plasticity, and can easily realize the design of various complex patterns and shapes, greatly satisfying consumers' demand for diversified and personalized atmosphere lights;

[0025] Secondly, since the fiber optic braided luminous fabric uses fabric as the base material, it is soft and easy to install. It can easily adapt to various curved surfaces and shapes inside the car, providing more possibilities for creating the atmosphere inside the car. At the same time, since the optical fiber itself has excellent durability and anti-aging properties, this kind of fabric also has a long service life, reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance, and reducing the cost of use;

[0026] In addition, the utility model achieves uniform distribution of light by utilizing the conduction characteristics of optical fiber, avoiding problems such as uneven light and glare caused by too many LED lights in traditional atmosphere lights. At the same time, due to the high conduction efficiency of optical fiber, this kind of fabric generates less heat when emitting light, effectively reducing energy consumption and safety risks.
