Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of stage lighting technology, and more specifically, to a novel stage lighting fixture with a DIY-compatible effects panel assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, the windows on the side of stage lighting fixtures are generally used as maintenance windows, and the functional components inside the fixture, including multiple effect discs, are usually installed as a single unit. However, this integrated installation method has certain limitations. Repairing or replacing a single effect disc requires disassembling and reassembling the entire functional component; it's not possible to repair or replace individual effect discs within a single functional component. Furthermore, all power cords for the effect discs must be connected to the internal circuitry of the fixture simultaneously for it to function properly.

[0003] The customer currently needs a lighting fixture that allows for the installation or replacement of individual effect panel components, with the quantity and type of effect panel components selectable according to actual needs, and the installation order of the effect panels can be flexibly changed; furthermore, the lighting fixture can operate normally even when the effect panel components are not connected to the control circuit board components.

[0004] The aforementioned traditional integrated lighting installation components cannot install or replace individual effect panel components, nor can they be customized according to customer needs in terms of the number, type, combination, and order of effect panels. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a novel stage lighting fixture with DIY-compatible effect disc components. The effect disc components can be freely combined and can be installed individually on the main optical axis. Multiple effect disc components are individually wired to the control circuit board, and the lighting fixture will not report an error even if no effect disc is connected to the circuit of the lighting fixture.

[0006] A novel stage lighting fixture with DIY-compatible effect disc components includes a housing with a quick-release window on one side, a lamp cover covering the quick-release window, a cavity enclosed by the housing, a light source component located within the cavity, and several effect disc components. The cavity also includes a first support plate and a second support plate, parallel to and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main optical axis, and mirror images of each other. Each support plate has at least two sets of recessed slots along the light emission direction, allowing the effect disc components to be removably mounted within them. The at least two sets of recessed slots can be optionally fully loaded with effect disc components, and whether the recessed slots are fully loaded is independent of whether the lighting fixture functions properly. The number of effect disc components can be less than or equal to the number of slots, and the number of effect disc components is independent of whether the lighting fixture functions properly.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the number of effect disc assemblies is independent of whether the lamp is working properly. The cavity also includes a control circuit board assembly that is electrically connected to several effect disc assemblies. Regardless of whether each effect disc assembly is electrically connected to the control circuit board assembly, the lamp can operate normally without reporting errors.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the effect disc assembly includes an effect disc and a support frame for mounting the effect disc, the support frame being adapted to a slot.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the effect disc is a detachable effect disc, and the effect disc can be replaced with other effect discs with different functions or effects.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the effect disc includes, but is not limited to, a cutting disc, a pattern disc, or a fire disc.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the support frame is also provided with a bent edge for fixing.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, support plate one and support plate two are respectively provided with protrusions adjacent to the slot, and the protrusions are also provided with mounting holes for fixing the effect disc assembly.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the width of the mounting window is greater than the width of the support frame.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the support plate 1 and the support plate 2 are provided with three sets of slots, and the number of effect disc components is three. The three effect disc components can be arbitrarily installed in the three sets of slots.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, three sets of slots are provided on the support plate one and the support plate two, and the number of effect disc components is three. The three effect disc components are fitted and installed in the three sets of slots one by one.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] (1) In this technical solution, several effect disk components can be optionally installed separately in the slots of support plate one and support plate two, realizing personalized customization of the number of effect disk components installed; and the effect disk components located on the main optical axis can be inserted and removed into different slots. The change in the position of the effect disk components in the light output direction can form a relatively clear light spot pattern or a relatively blurry light spot pattern; that is, users can DIY match and combine the effect disk components according to different needs to personalize different lighting effects.

[0018] (2) At least two sets of embedded selectable effect disk components, and several effect disk components in the slot are individually connected to the control circuit board components; the lamp can operate normally in the unloaded state or the no-load state. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3The outer casing 100 has a quick-release window 102 and a lamp cover 103 covering the quick-release window 102 on one side. A waterproof strip is provided between the quick-release window 102 and the lamp cover 103 to enhance the waterproof performance of the lamp. The quick-release window 102 has mounting holes around it for mounting the lamp cover 103. The lamp cover 103 is fastened to the quick-release window 102 by fasteners. The cavity 101 formed by the outer casing 100 is a trapezoidal cavity. The cavity 101 contains a mounting plate 5, a mounting plate 6, a support plate 3, a support plate 4, a light source assembly 1, and several effect disc assemblies 2. Light source assembly 1 is mounted on mounting plate 2 6, and several effect disc assemblies 2 are located between mounting plate 1 5 and light source assembly 1; support plate 1 3 and support plate 2 4, parallel to the main optical axis 8, are located between mounting plate 1 5 and mounting plate 2 6, and are perpendicular to mounting plate 1 5 and mounting plate 2 6; support plate 1 3 and support plate 2 4, which are mirror images of each other, are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main optical axis 8, and support plate 1 3 is provided with at least two embedded slots (31, 32, 3) along the light output direction. 3) The support plate 2 4 is provided with at least two embedded slots (41, 42, 43) along the light output direction. The effect disk assembly 2 can be inserted and inserted into the embedded slots (31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 43). The slots (31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 43) are compatible with the effect disk assembly 2, and the effect disk assembly 2 can be smoothly inserted and inserted into one set of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43).

[0026] At least two sets of recessed slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) can be selected to be fully loaded with effect disk components 2, and whether the recessed slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) are fully loaded with effect disk components 2 is irrelevant to whether the lamp can work properly; that is, the number of effect disk components 2 can be less than or equal to the number of at least two sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43), and the number of effect disk components 2 is irrelevant to whether the lamp can work properly.

[0027] To facilitate understanding, the statement that "whether the embedded slots (31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 43) are fully loaded with effect disk component 2 is irrelevant to whether the lamp can function properly" will be further explained using a traditional lamp as an example for comparison:

[0028] Traditional lighting fixtures typically suffer from limitations related to the number of effect panel components and their proper functioning: Under normal circumstances, the fixture can only operate correctly when the effect panel components are fully loaded; however, if the effect panel components are not fully loaded, the fixture will report an error and fail to function properly. Specifically, if some effect panel components are missing, the fixture will immediately trigger an error mechanism and stop operating. Even with attempts to periodically reset, the fixture will continuously repeat the error reporting and shutdown process.

[0029] In this embodiment, when at least two sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) are fully loaded, that is, the number of effect disc assemblies 2 installed is equal to the number of at least two sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43), the lamp and the effect disc assemblies 2 installed in the cavity 101, which are equal in number to the number of at least two sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43), operate normally simultaneously. When at least two sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) are not fully loaded, that is, when the effect discs are installed... The number of components 2 is less than the number of at least two sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43). At this time, there are two situations: at least two sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) are in an unloaded state or the effect disk component 2 is not connected to the control circuit board component 7. In both cases, the lamp and the effect disk component 2 installed in the cavity 101 can operate normally at the same time, and will not report an error or fail to operate normally because at least two sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) are unloaded or the effect disk component 2 is not connected.

[0030] Therefore, the number of effect disc components 2 loaded into at least two sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) is optional, and the type of a single effect disc component 2 is also optional, so the combination of several effect disc components 2 can be customized.

[0031] As a new implementation method, combined with the appendix Figure 2 The number of effect disc assemblies 2 is independent of whether the luminaire is working properly. The cavity 101 also includes a control circuit board assembly 7 electrically connected to several effect disc assemblies 2. Regardless of whether each effect disc assembly 2 is electrically connected to the control circuit board assembly 7, the luminaire can operate normally without errors. The control circuit board assembly 7 periodically detects the connection signals of the effect disc assemblies 2. When a connection signal is present, it indicates that at least one effect disc assembly 2 is electrically connected to the luminaire. The control circuit board assembly 7 detects the connection signal of at least one effect disc assembly 2 and sends a start command to both the luminaire and the at least one effect disc assembly 2, enabling both the luminaire and the effect disc assembly 2 to operate normally. When the connection signal of the effect disc assembly 2 is absent, no effect disc assembly 2 is loaded in the multiple slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43), and the control circuit board assembly 7 does not detect the connection signal of the effect disc assembly 2, only sending a start command to the luminaire; the luminaire can still operate normally. The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that, compared with traditional lamps, the present invention allows users to select the number of effect disk components 2 loaded in multiple slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) according to their needs, and the lamp will not report an error or stop operating when the effect disk components 2 in multiple slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) are not fully loaded.

[0032] As a new implementation method, combined with the appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 The effects plate assembly 2 includes an effects plate 21 and a support frame 22 for mounting the effects plate 21. The support frame 22 is adapted to one of the sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43). The support frame 22 is a flat support frame, and the effects plate 21 is mounted in the middle of the support frame 22. The effects plate assembly 2 is loaded into one of the sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) through the support frame 22. The support frame 22 is also equipped with a drive motor, a synchronous pulley, and transmission gears. The drive motor is generally mounted on the lower surface of the support frame 22. The support frame 22 can be adapted to the effects plate 21 to be mounted, and different effects plates 21 may correspond to different support frames 22. The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that, unlike traditional effect disc assemblies, the effect disc assembly 2 of the present invention can be individually installed in one of a set of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) by a flat support frame 22, which simplifies the installation or replacement steps of the effect disc assembly 2.

[0033] As a new implementation method, combined with the appendix Figure 3 Effect disc 21 is a detachable effect disc, and it can be replaced with other effect discs 21 with different functions or effects. Effect disc 21 is detachably mounted on support frame 22; for example, when effect disc 21 is a pattern disc, the pattern disc mounted on support frame 22 can be replaced with other patterns or pattern discs with different numbers of pattern pieces; however, fire discs or water ripple discs cannot be mounted on support frame 22, and only effect discs of the same type can be installed when it is necessary to replace effect disc 21. The advantage of this embodiment is that it facilitates the replacement of detachable effect discs 21, enabling the creation of richer lighting effects.

[0034] As a new implementation method, combined with the appendix Figure 1The effect disc 21 includes, but is not limited to, a cutting disc, a pattern disc, or a flame disc. In this embodiment, multiple sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) on support plate 1 and support plate 2 are sequentially fitted with flame discs, pattern discs, and cutting discs in the light-emitting direction, respectively. The cutting disc makes the boundary of the light spot formed by the lamp clearer, while the flame disc is used to produce a dynamic effect of flame disturbance. The cutting disc is manually adjustable, meaning the cutting disc assembly does not need to be connected to the control circuit board assembly 7. The pattern disc has four pattern pieces, and when the pattern disc rotates, it makes the light spot formed by the lamp present the shape of the pattern pieces located on the main optical axis 8. The pattern disc with four pattern pieces can also be replaced with a pattern disc with one pattern piece. It is understood that the effect disc can also be a water ripple disc, a pattern disc with pattern pieces of other different patterns, etc. The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that the effect disc 21 can be optionally installed on the main optical axis 8, which can realize richer and more personalized lighting effects.

[0035] As a new implementation method, combined with the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The support frame 22 is also provided with a bent edge 221 for fixing. The bent edge 221 is a rectangular flat plate, which is mainly used to fix the effect plate assembly 2 and prevent the effect plate assembly 2 from shifting during normal operation of the lamp and affecting the light output effect of the lamp. The bent edge 221 is located on the side of the effect plate assembly 2 near the quick-installation window 102, and each bent edge 221 is provided with mounting holes. The bent edge 221 is in close contact with the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4, and is locked to the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4. The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that it can prevent the effect plate assembly 2 from shifting off the imaging center and affecting the light output effect of the lamp.

[0036] As a new implementation method, combined with the appendix Figure 3 Support plate 3 and support plate 4 are respectively provided with bosses (34,44) adjacent to the slots (31,32,33,41,42,43), and the bosses (34,44) are also provided with mounting holes. The bosses (34,44) are located on two opposite sides of support plate 3 and support plate 4, and the length of the bosses (34,44) is close to the length of support plate 3 and support plate 4. The side end face of the bosses (34,44) is provided with mounting holes for fixing the effect plate assembly 2. The effect plate assembly 2 is locked to the bosses (34,44) of support plate 3 and support plate 4 by bending edge 221. The bosses (34,44) include boss 34 on support plate 3 and boss 44 on support plate 4. The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that it can limit and fix the effect plate assembly 2, preventing the effect plate assembly 2 from sliding out of the multiple slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) of the support plate 1 and support plate 2, thus affecting the light output effect of the lamp.

[0037] As a new implementation method, combined with the appendix Figure 1 The width of the quick-installation window 102 is greater than the width of the support frame 22. Traditional lighting fixtures typically have maintenance windows on their housings, which are small and only allow passage for small components, such as color filters, rather than the entire effect panel assembly. In this embodiment, the quick-installation window 102 allows passage for the entire effect panel assembly 2. The quick-installation window 102 can be used for both installing and replacing the entire effect panel assembly 2. The advantage of this embodiment is that, since the effect panel assembly 2 can be installed individually, the quick-installation window 102 makes installation and replacement of the effect panel assembly 2 more convenient, saving installation or replacement steps.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Combined with appendix Figure 1 The support plate 3 and the support plate 4 are provided with three sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43). There are three effect disc components 2. The three effect disc components 2 can be installed in the three sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) in any way. The three sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) are respectively the first set of slots (31 and 41), the second set of slots (32 and 42), and the third set of slots (33 and 43) arranged at intervals along the light output direction. The first set of slots includes the first set of slots 31 located on the first support plate 3 and the first set of slots 41 located on the second support plate 4. The second set of slots includes the second set of slots 32 located on the first support plate 3 and the second set of slots 42 located on the second support plate 4. The third set of slots includes the third set of slots 33 located on the first support plate 3 and the third set of slots 43 located on the second support plate 4. The spacing between each pair of adjacent slots in the light output direction is relatively large, providing sufficient space for the pull-out installation of the effect disk assembly 2. Therefore, all three effect disk assemblies 2 can be arbitrarily pulled out and installed in the first set of slots (31 and 41), the second set of slots (32 and 42), and the third set of slots (33 and 43).

[0040] The distance between the first set of slots (31 and 41) and the third set of slots (33 and 43) is greater than the height of the focal depth zone of the luminaire. The focal depth zone of the luminaire is located between the first set of slots (31 and 41) and the third set of slots (33 and 43). When any one of the three effect disc components 2 is located within the focal depth zone, a relatively clear light spot pattern can be formed. When any one of the three effect disc components 2 is located outside the focal depth zone, the formed light spot pattern is relatively blurry. The beneficial effect of this implementation is that the order of the three effect disc components 2 in the light emission direction can be arbitrarily changed. The change in the order and position of the effect disc components 2 in the light emission direction can change the clarity of the light spot effect formed by the luminaire, realizing personalized customization of the lighting effect.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the order and position of the effect disc assembly 2 in the light output direction cannot be changed.

[0043] Combined with appendix Figure 5 The support plate 3 and the support plate 4 are provided with three sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43). There are three effect disc components 2. The three effect disc components 2 are fitted and installed in the three sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) in a one-to-one correspondence. The three sets of slots (31 and 41; 32 and 42; 33 and 43) are respectively the first set of slots (31 and 41), the second set of slots (32 and 42), and the third set of slots (33 and 43). The first set of slots includes the first set of slots 31 located on the first support plate 3 and the first set of slots 41 located on the second support plate 4. The second set of slots includes the second set of slots 32 located on the first support plate 3 and the second set of slots 42 located on the second support plate 4. The third set of slots includes the third set of slots 33 located on the first support plate 3 and the third set of slots 43 located on the second support plate 4. The three effect disc components 2 are sequentially inserted and inserted into the first set of slots (31 and 41), the second set of slots (32 and 42), and the third set of slots (33 and 43). In this embodiment, the bending edges 221 on the three support frames 22 have different orientations, and the protrusions (34, 44) on the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 have different positions, and the overall heights of the three effect disk assemblies 2 are inconsistent. Therefore, the three effect disk assemblies 2 can only be fitted and installed in the first set of slots (31 and 41), the second set of slots (32 and 42), and the third set of slots (33 and 43) in a one-to-one correspondence. One of the effect disk assemblies 24 is a pattern disk effect assembly, and the pattern disk assembly can only project a light spot with a clear pattern when it is located in the depth of focus. For the sake of saving space and ensuring that the pattern disk assemblies are all located in the depth of focus, the multiple effect disk assemblies 2 located in the cavity 101 are installed more compactly. Compared with the first embodiment, the multiple effect disk assemblies 2 in the second embodiment occupy less space in the light output direction. Furthermore, the specific height of each effect disk assembly 2 is different, so the order of the effect disk assemblies 2 located in the cavity 101 in the light output direction cannot be changed. The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that the multiple effect disc components 2 occupy less space in the light emission direction, and the pattern in the light spot formed by the lamp is clearer.
