For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The embodiment of the present application provides a focusing element 100, including a focusing portion 110, the focusing portion 110 has a light incident surface 111, a reflecting surface 112 and a light emitting surface 113 arranged opposite to each other, the light emitting surface 113 has a first focus 1131 and a second focus 1132, the first focus 1131 is located on the reflecting surface 112, the second focus 1132 is located on the side of the light emitting surface 113 away from the reflecting surface 112, the reflecting surface 112 has a third focus 1121, and the third focus 1121 is located on the side of the light incident surface 111 away from the reflecting surface 112; please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The light source 210 forms divergent light at the third focus 1121 and emits it toward the light incident surface 111. After being refracted by the light incident surface 111, it emits it toward the first focus 1131 on the reflecting surface 112. After being reflected by the reflecting surface 112, it emits it toward the light emitting surface 113 as parallel or nearly parallel light rays. After being refracted by the light emitting surface 113, it converges at the second focus 1132.
[0050] The focusing element 100 includes a focusing portion 110, and the focusing portion 110 is used to focus the divergent light 300 emitted by the light source 210. The focusing portion 110 has a light incident surface 111, a reflective surface 112, and a light emitting surface 113, wherein the reflective surface 112 and the light emitting surface 113 are arranged opposite to each other, the light incident surface 111 is located between the reflective surface 112 and the light emitting surface 113, and two opposite edges of the light incident surface 111 extend toward the reflective surface 112 and the light emitting surface 113, respectively. In practical applications, the light source 210 forms the divergent light 300 at the third focus 1121 of the focusing element 100, which can be achieved by directly setting the light source 210 at the third focus 1121, or by using other focusing elements, such as an ellipsoidal reflector, to converge the light emitted by the light source 210 at the third focus 1121 to form the divergent light 300. Please refer to Figure 2, the divergent light 300 enters the light focusing element 100 from the light incident surface 111 from the third focal point 1121 and is emitted to the reflective surface 112, wherein a part of the light is irradiated at the first focal point 1131 on the reflective surface 112, and the rest of the light is irradiated at a position of the reflective surface 112 that is farther from the first focal point 1131. Figure 3 The light irradiated at the first focus 1131 is reflected by the reflective surface 112 and then emitted to the light emitting surface 113, and then refracted by the light emitting surface 113 and converged at the second focus 1132. The light irradiated at a distance from the first focus 1131 is reflected by the reflective surface 112 and then emitted to the light emitting surface 113, and then refracted by the light emitting surface 113 and then exits the focusing element 100.
[0051] For example, the light incident surface 111 may be a plane or a curved surface, the reflective surface 112 may be a total reflection collimating curved surface, and the light emitting surface 113 may be a dual-focus curved surface. The total reflection collimating curved surface can form parallel light after total reflection of the light refracted by the light incident surface 111, so as to reduce the divergence of the light; the dual-focus curved surface can image the primary light distribution at the first focus 1131 to the second focus 1132, so as to form a secondary light distribution.
[0052] For example, the reflective surface 112 may be a total reflective surface or a reflective surface provided with a reflective coating.
[0053] For example, two opposite edges of the reflective surface 112 are respectively connected to the edges of the reflective surface 112 and the light emitting surface 113 , so as to simplify the structure of the light focusing element 100 .
[0054] The above-mentioned focusing element 100 sets the light emitting surface 113 as a curved surface with at least two focal points, and can image the primary light distribution at the first focal point 1131 to the second focal point 1132 to form a secondary light distribution. When applied to the vehicle lamp 200, the cut-off line structure 230 can be set at the first focal point 1131 or at the second focal point 1132; please refer to Figure 4 The secondary light distribution at the second focus 1132 is imaged onto the road surface through the imaging lens 220 whose focus coincides with the second focus 1132, forming a Figure 5 The light shape with the cut-off line is shown. The focusing element 100 can not only realize the convergence of light, but also provide two setting positions for the cut-off line structure 230, which can improve the flexibility of setting the cut-off line structure 230.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 6When the cut-off line structure 230 is disposed at the first focus 1131, it can be directly disposed on the focusing element 100. Optionally, in an implementable manner of the embodiment of the present invention, an extension portion 120 connected to the focusing portion 110 is further included, and the extension portion 120 is provided with a cut-off line structure 230, and the cut-off line structure 230 is located at the first focus 1131.
[0056] For example, the light incident surface 111 of the focusing portion 110 can be a plane, the extension portion 120 can be plate-shaped and located on the side of the reflecting surface 112, the upper surface of the extension portion 120 can be flush with the light incident surface 111, and the lower surface can be provided with a bright-dark cutoff line structure 230 and the bright-dark cutoff line structure 230 is located at the first focus 1131.
[0057] It should be noted that the divergent light 300 converges to the focus (the third focus 1121, the second focus 1132), which does not mean converging on the focus in a strict sense, but may converge near the focus (<2mm). Similarly, the light-dark cutoff line structure 230 is set at the focus (the first focus 1131, the second focus 1132), which also includes the two meanings of the light-dark cutoff line structure 230 being set at the focus and near the focus.
[0058] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 4 The present embodiment further provides a vehicle lamp 200, comprising a light source 210, an imaging lens 220, a cut-off line structure 230 and the above-mentioned focusing element 100. The light source 210 can be arranged at the third focus 1121 of the focusing element 100 (such as Figure 7 Alternatively, the light emitted by the light source 210 forms a divergent light 300 at the third focus 1121 (as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown), the focus of the imaging lens 220 coincides with the second focus 1132 of the focusing element 100. Figure 4 , the bright and dark cut-off line structure 230 is located at the first focus 1131 (eg Figure 4 ) or at the second focus 1132 (as shown Figure 7 shown).
[0059] Please refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The divergent light 300 formed by the light source 210 at the third focus 1121 enters the interior of the focusing element 100 from the light incident surface 111 of the focusing element 100, is reflected by the reflecting surface 112, and then refracted out of the focusing element 100 through the light emitting surface 113, and is finally imaged onto the road surface through the imaging lens 220, forming a light shape with a bright and dark cut-off line.
[0060] It should be noted that the light focusing element 100 and the imaging lens 220 are both transparent and made of transparent materials. For example, the light focusing element 100 and the imaging lens 220 are made by transparent plastic injection molding.
[0061] The cut-off line structure 230 of the above-mentioned vehicle lamp 200 can be arranged at the first focus 1131 of the focusing element 100, or can be arranged at the second focus 1132 of the focusing element 100. The arrangement of the cut-off line structure 230 is more flexible.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 7 Optionally, in one implementable manner of an embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle lamp 200 further includes an optical plate 240 disposed between the focusing element 100 and the imaging lens 220 , and the light-dark cutoff line structure 230 is disposed on the optical plate 240 and located at the second focus 1132 .
[0063] The optical plate 240 can be a shading plate or a reflector. It is understood that the optical plate 240 should not hinder the propagation of light. For example, the optical plate 240 is vertically arranged below the light propagation path, and the light-dark cutoff line structure 230 is arranged on the upper edge of the optical plate 240.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 Optionally, in an achievable manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the light focusing element 100 further includes an extension portion 120 connected to the light focusing portion 110, and the cut-off line structure 230 is disposed on the extension portion 120 and located at the first focus 1131. By disposing the cut-off line structure 230 on the light focusing element 100, the number of parts of the vehicle lamp 200 can be reduced, the assembly process can be reduced, and the production cycle can be improved.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 8 and Fig.10 Optionally, in an implementable manner of an embodiment of the present invention, a reflector 250 is further included, the reflector 250 has a fourth focus 251 and a fifth focus 252, the light source 210 is arranged at the fourth focus 251, and the fifth focus 252 coincides with the third focus 1121.
[0066] After being reflected by the reflector, the light emitted by the light source 210 forms a divergent light 300 at the fifth focus 252 (third focus 1121), and then is emitted to the light incident surface 111 of the focusing element 100. The arrangement of the reflector 250 can provide more flexibility in the arrangement of the light source 210. For example, the reflective surface 112 of the reflector 250 is an ellipsoidal surface.
[0067] In order to realize the integration of high and low beams, the light source 210 includes a low beam light source 211 and a high beam light source 212. Fig.11 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Optionally, in one achievable manner of an embodiment of the present invention, the focusing element 100 and the imaging lens 220 each include one, and the light emitted by the low beam light source 211 and the high beam light source 212 converge near a third focus 1121 of the focusing element 100 to form low beam divergent light and high beam divergent light.
[0068] The light emitted by the low-beam light source 211 is refracted by the light incident surface 111 of the focusing element 100 to form a primary low-beam distribution near the first focus 1131, and then is reflected by the reflecting surface 112 and refracted by the light emitting surface 113 to form a secondary low-beam distribution at the second focus 1132, and finally is imaged onto the road surface through the imaging lens 220 whose focus coincides with the second focus 1132 to form a low-beam light shape; similarly, the light emitted by the high-beam light source 212 is refracted by the light incident surface 111 of the focusing element 100 to form a primary high-beam distribution near the first focus 1131, and then is reflected by the reflecting surface 112 and refracted by the light emitting surface 113 to form a secondary high-beam distribution at the second focus 1132, and finally is imaged onto the road surface through the imaging lens 220 whose focus coincides with the second focus 1132 to form a high-beam light shape. The divergent light 300 emitted by the low beam light source 211 and the high beam light source 212 is irradiated to both sides of the first focus 1131 through the same focusing element 100, and converges on both sides of the second focus 1132, and then is imaged onto the road surface through the imaging lens 220, so that the low beam light shape and the high beam light shape can be imaged onto the road surface respectively and can be better connected together.
[0069] Please refer to Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Optionally, in one implementable manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the number of focusing elements 100 is two, the number of imaging lenses 220 is one, the light emitted by the low beam light source 211 forms a divergent light 300 at the third focus 1121 of one of the focusing elements 100, and the light emitted by the high beam light source 212 forms a divergent light 300 at the third focus 1121 of the other focusing element 100, and the second focal points 1132 of the two focusing elements 100 coincide.
[0070] The divergent light 300 emitted by the low beam light source 211 is converged by the corresponding focusing element 100 to form a secondary low beam distribution at the focus (second focus 1132) of the imaging lens 220. The imaging lens 220 images the secondary low beam distribution onto the road surface, forming a Fig.14 Similarly, the divergent light 300 emitted by the high-beam light source 212 is converged by the corresponding focusing element 100 to form a secondary high-beam distribution at the focus (second focus 1132) of the imaging lens 220, and the imaging lens 220 images the secondary high-beam distribution onto the road surface, forming a Fig.15The low beam and high beam are connected to form the following Fig.16 The high and low beam light shapes are shown.
[0071] For example, the two focusing elements 100 are arranged back to back, that is, the light incident surfaces 111 of the two focusing elements 100 face opposite directions, so that the arrangement of the light source 210 has more flexibility. For example, the two focusing elements 100 are integrally formed to reduce assembly processes and improve production cycle.
[0072] The cut-off line structure 230 is configured in one of the following ways:
[0073] like Fig.12 and Figure 3 As shown, an optical plate 240 is disposed between the two focusing elements 100 and the imaging lens 220 . The optical plate 240 is placed horizontally. The cut-off line structure 230 is disposed on the surface of the optical plate 240 and is located at the second focus 1132 .
[0074] like Fig.17 and Figure 3 As shown, the focusing element 100 corresponding to the low beam light source 211 further includes an extension portion 120 connected to the focusing portion 110 , and the cut-off line structure 230 is disposed on the extension portion 120 and located at the first focus 1131 .
[0075] like Fig.18 and Fig.19 As shown, the cut-off line structure 230 is disposed on the imaging lens 220 and is located at the second focus 1132 .
[0076] Please refer to Fig. 20 Optionally, in one possible implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, a connecting portion 260 is provided between the focusing element 100 and the imaging lens 220, and the connecting portion 260 connects the focusing element 100 and the imaging lens 220 as a whole.
