Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of light display, and in particular to a light emitting module and an optical system. Background Art

[0002] In the application of SMD multi-color light sources (such as RGBYAW combination), due to the difference in the emitting angles and physical position offset of chips of different colors, problems such as uneven color distribution and brightness fluctuations in different directions are prone to occur when light is mixed. To improve the color mixing effect, conventional solutions need to rely on long-distance optical conductors or complex splitting systems to achieve uniform light diffusion through multiple total reflections.

[0003] In the prior art, light sources and optical conductors are mostly designed in a split type, for example, light-emitting elements and optical conductors are indirectly connected through optical fibers, light guides or lens assemblies. Split optical path coupling is prone to reduced light efficiency and insufficient stability due to assembly errors. Summary of the invention

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention provides a light-emitting module 10, including a light-emitting element 11 and a light conductor 12. The light-emitting element 11 and the light conductor 12 are an integrated structure. The light-emitting element 11 is used to emit light in a first direction. The light conductor 12 at least covers the light-emitting side of the light-emitting element 11 in the first direction. The light conductor 12 includes a first curved surface structure 121, and the first curved surface structure 121 is used to gather the angle of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 11. Optionally, the light-emitting element 11 includes a lamp bead, and the lamp bead includes light-emitting chips of one or more colors. For example, the lamp bead includes one or more of red, green, blue, yellow, amber and white chips. For another example, the lamp bead includes red, green and blue chips. The combination of light-emitting chips included in the lamp bead is not described in detail here.

[0037] It is understandable that by designing the light emitting element 11 and the optical conductor 12 into an integrated structure, the assembly error problem caused by the split design is effectively avoided, the stability of the optical path coupling is improved, and the risk of reduced light efficiency is reduced; and the optical conductor 12 covers the light emitting side of the light emitting element 11, which can gather the light emitted by the light emitting element 11, narrow the angle of the light, and make the light propagate more concentratedly and directionally, improve the mixing effect of light of different colors, and reduce the problems of uneven color distribution and brightness fluctuation. It should be explained that the first curved surface structure 121 in this embodiment is not only used to gather the angle of the light emitted by the light emitting element 11, but also used to provide a carrier for multiple reflections and refractions for the incident light from the light emitting element 11, so that the light of different colors is mixed more evenly in the optical conductor 12, and the color of the light emitted through the optical conductor 12 is more uniform.

[0038] In a feasible implementation process, the light emitting element 11 emits light in a first direction, and the light first enters the optical conductor 12 connected thereto; inside the optical conductor 12, the light is gradually uniformized after multiple reflections and refractions, and light of different colors is fully mixed in this process; the first curved surface structure 121 of the optical conductor 12 gathers the light, narrows the angle of the light, and propagates forward more concentratedly; the light processed by the optical conductor 12 is finally emitted to form a relatively uniform light beam, avoiding the problems of uneven color distribution and brightness fluctuation in different directions.

[0039] Further, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first curved surface structure 121 along the first direction remains unchanged or gradually decreases. It should be explained that, in order to achieve better light control and color mixing effect, by controlling the change of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first curved surface structure 121 along the first direction, the reflection, refraction and diffusion behavior of the light in the optical conductor 12 can be affected, thereby optimizing the output characteristics of the light, making it more uniform and concentrated, further improving the color mixing effect of the multi-color light source, and reducing problems such as uneven color distribution and brightness fluctuation. In this embodiment, when the cross-sectional area of ​​the first curved surface structure 121 remains unchanged, the light will propagate therein according to a fixed reflection and refraction law, maintain a relatively stable beam width and angle, gradually propagate forward and be evenly mixed. When the cross-sectional area of ​​the first curved surface structure 121 gradually decreases, the light will continuously encounter the gradually narrowing curved surface during the propagation process, and will be guided to the center each time it is reflected, the angle of the light will gradually decrease, the light beam will gradually narrow, and finally form a more concentrated and narrow light beam when it is output from the optical conductor 12, and lights of different colors are also better mixed in this process.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first curved surface structure 121 includes a first light guide portion 1211 disposed at the end of the first direction, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first light guide portion 1211 gradually decreases along the first direction. It can be understood that by disposing the first light guide portion 1211 with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area at the end of the first direction, that is, disposing the first light guide portion 1211 with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area at the position where the light is about to leave the optical conductor 12, the light can be more concentrated and directional when output, thereby improving the brightness and color mixing effect of the light-emitting module 10, reducing the scattering and energy loss of light, and improving the overall optical performance.

[0041] In a feasible implementation process, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 11 first enters the first curved surface structure 121 of the optical conductor 12. As the light propagates, it will reach the first light guide portion 1211 at the end of the first direction of the optical conductor 12. In the first light guide portion 1211, due to the gradual decrease in cross-sectional area, the light will be further gathered and the divergence angle will be further reduced. Finally, the light processed by the first light guide portion 1211 will be output from the optical conductor 12 in the form of a more concentrated and narrow light beam, thereby achieving better light control and output effects.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first curved structure 121 includes a second light guide portion disposed between the first light guide portion 1211 and the light emitting element 11, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second light guide portion along the first direction remains unchanged. It is understandable that by disposing a second light guide portion with a constant cross-sectional area between the first light guide portion 1211 and the light emitting element 11, a stable propagation environment can be provided for the light, avoiding excessive divergence or uneven distribution of the light before entering the first light guide portion 1211, thereby improving the utilization rate of the light and the color mixing effect, and reducing the loss and unevenness of the light.

[0043] In a feasible implementation process, after the light is emitted from the light-emitting element 11, it first enters the second light guide portion. Since the cross-sectional area of ​​the second light guide portion remains unchanged along the first direction, the light will propagate therein according to relatively stable reflection and refraction laws, and there will be no changes in light convergence or divergence caused by changes in the cross-sectional area. Therefore, the light can maintain a relatively uniform distribution and a stable propagation direction before entering the first light guide portion 1211, providing a good foundation for the subsequent further gathering and concentration of the light by the first light guide portion 1211.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second light guide portion may be a cylinder or a prism.

[0045] In some embodiments, the length of the first curved surface structure 121 along the first direction is in the range of [1 mm, 20 mm]; and / or the cross-sectional diameter of the first curved surface structure 121 along the first direction is in the range of [2 mm, 50 mm].

[0046] Furthermore, a light diffuser is added to the molding material of the light conductor 12. It is understandable that the function of the light diffuser is to disperse the light, making it softer and more uniform, and avoiding the light being too glaring or uneven in brightness. Specifically, the light diffuser is a microsphere product, which is added to the molding material of the light conductor 12. When the light passes through the light conductor 12, optical phenomena such as refraction, reflection and scattering will occur on the surface of the microspheres of the light diffuser, making the output light more uniform, avoiding the phenomenon of local overbrightness or overdarkness, and improving the quality of the lighting effect.

[0047] It should be explained that the length of the light guide column in the prior art is usually long, because the light is sufficiently reflected and refracted by using a longer optical path, so that the light is fully mixed after multiple reflections and refractions; however, a long light guide column will increase the attenuation and loss during the light transmission process, making the lighting effect worse, and the long light guide column will also increase the volume and cost of the module, and the assembly complexity will also increase accordingly. In view of this, in this embodiment, the length of the first curved surface structure 121 along the first direction is within the range of [1mm, 20mm], which fully reduces the length of the light conductor 12, but the means to achieve this effect is to add a light diffuser to the light conductor 12, so that the light can achieve better diffusion and uniform mixing effects in a shorter optical path, so that the color of the light emitted by the shorter light conductor 12 in this embodiment can be mixed evenly. By using the light emitting module 10 of the present embodiment, the shorter length and smaller cross-sectional diameter of the optical conductor 12 result in a smaller volume, making the assembly of the entire light emitting module 10 easier, improving production efficiency and product reliability, and helping to reduce the overall volume of the light emitting module 10, reducing material and production costs, and making the product more competitive in the market.

[0048] In some embodiments, the light diffuser includes one or more of silicon dioxide, polysiloxane particles, aluminum oxide, and borosilicate glass. It should be explained that silicon dioxide, polysiloxane particles, aluminum oxide, and borosilicate glass can effectively scatter and refract light inside the optical conductor 12, so that the light is more evenly distributed, thereby improving the uniformity and softness of the lighting effect. Among them, silicon dioxide is an inorganic light diffuser, and its particles can scatter and refract light to make the light distribution more uniform. Polysiloxane particles belong to organic light diffusers, and light will be refracted multiple times when passing through it, achieving light diffusion while maintaining a high light transmittance. Aluminum oxide has good optical properties and chemical stability, and can be used as a light diffuser to improve the haze and light diffusion effect of the material. Borosilicate glass has good heat resistance and chemical stability, and its particles can effectively scatter and refract light to achieve uniform distribution of light.

[0049] In a feasible implementation process, the optical conductor 12 is made of resin or other light-transmitting materials as a base material, and one or more of silica, polysiloxane particles, aluminum oxide, and borosilicate glass are added as light diffusers during the casting process of the optical conductor 12. When light enters the optical conductor 12, it will encounter these light diffuser particles. The light treated with the light diffuser is output from the optical conductor 12 to form a softer and more uniform light beam, avoiding the problems of glare and uneven brightness.

[0050] In some embodiments, the optical conductor 12 and the light-emitting element 11 are formed into an integrated structure by a molding process. It should be explained that the molding process is a high-precision processing technology, which is a process of placing softened transparent materials such as glass, resin or plastic into a high-precision mold, and then directly molding optical parts that meet the use requirements after heating, pressurizing and treating in an oxygen-free environment. In the integrated structure of the optical conductor 12 and the light-emitting element 11 of the present embodiment, the molding process can accurately control the relative position and shape of the optical conductor 12 and the light-emitting element 11, ensure that the optical conductor 12 effectively gathers and controls the light emitted by the light-emitting element 11, and at the same time improve the bonding strength and stability of the two, reduce assembly errors, and improve the accuracy and stability of optical path coupling, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the light-emitting module 10.

[0051] In a feasible implementation process, the light-emitting module 10 in this embodiment includes a first substrate 20, which serves as a mounting carrier for the light-emitting element 11, can provide a mounting surface for the combined structure of the light-emitting element 11 and the optical conductor 12, and provide power for the light-emitting element 11. The first substrate 20 can be a circuit board, and the light-emitting element 11 can be directly soldered on the first substrate 20 using electronic circuit surface mounting technology (Surface Mount Technology, SMT).

[0052] In a feasible implementation process, the first substrate 20 with the light-emitting element 11 installed is placed in a molding mold, and a molding cavity for molding the light conductor 12 is provided in the molding mold. The light-emitting element 11 installed on the first substrate 20 is placed in the molding cavity. The main body of the light conductor 12 is formed by injecting softened transparent materials such as glass, resin or plastic into the molding cavity, and one or more of silica, polysiloxane particles, aluminum oxide, and borosilicate glass are added as light diffusers. Finally, after cooling, molding and demolding, an integrated structure of the light conductor 12 and the light-emitting element 11 is obtained. The light conductor 12 is tightly bonded to the light-emitting element 11, which reduces assembly errors and improves the accuracy and stability of optical path coupling, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the light-emitting module 10.

[0053] In some embodiments, the light emitting angle of the light emitting element 11 is in the range of [90°, 130°]; and / or, the light emitting angle of the light emitting module 10 is in the range of [30°, 60°]. It should be explained that the light emitting angle is also called the power angle. Usually we use the half-power angle, that is, the angle of 50% luminous intensity. Taking the light emitting element 11 as an example, taking the brightest light beam emitted by the light emitting element 11 as the center line, if the maximum angle to the light beam with 50% of its luminous intensity is 60° and -60°, the light emitting angle of the light emitting element 11 is considered to be 120°. It should be noted that the above are only a limited number of examples, and the definition and measurement of the light emitting angle will not be repeated here.

[0054] In this embodiment, the light emitting angle of the light emitting element 11 is within the range of [90°, 130°], which means that the light emitted by it is relatively scattered in the initial stage. Such a design can ensure that the light has sufficient light coverage after entering the optical conductor 12, providing a basis for the subsequent light gathering and mixing. Through the action of the optical conductor 12, the scattered light emitted by the light emitting element 11 is gathered, mixed and diffused, and finally the light emitting angle of the entire light emitting module 10 is controlled within the range of [30°, 60°]. Such an angle range can ensure that the output light is both concentrated and uniform, avoiding poor lighting effects caused by excessive dispersion or concentration of light.

[0055] See also Figures 3 to 6 The present invention also provides an optical system, including a lens 30 and a light-emitting module 10, wherein the lens 30 is arranged on one side of the light-emitting module 10 facing the first direction. It is understandable that, on the basis of the light-emitting module 10, the lens 30 is added and arranged at intervals on one side of the light-emitting module 10 in order to further optimize the distribution and control of light, wherein the lens 30 can focus, diverge or deflect the light, so as to meet the requirements of light shape, angle and intensity in different application scenarios, and improve the flexibility and adaptability of the optical system. Specifically, the lens 30 is an element that controls light using optical principles. When light passes through the lens 30, the propagation direction of the light changes due to the refraction of the lens 30. According to the design of the lens 30, the light can be focused to a smaller area, or diverged to a larger area, or deflected to a specific direction. The addition of the lens 30 enables the optical system to control the light more accurately, achieve the expected beam shape, angle and intensity distribution, and meet the lighting needs in different application scenarios.

[0056] See also Figure 7In some embodiments, the lens 30 includes a second curved surface structure 301, and the second curved surface structure 301 is used to make the light passing through the lens 30 deflect to a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; and / or, the second curved surface structure 301 is used to make the luminous angle of the light passing through the lens 30 in the third direction be a preset angle, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Optionally, the first direction and the third direction are both horizontal directions, and the second direction is a vertical direction. Optionally, the second curved surface structure 301 is used to make the luminous angle of the light passing through the lens 30 in the third direction be a preset angle, and the preset angle is in the range of [20°, 50°]. For example, the preset angle can be 30°, that is, the optical system takes itself as the zero point, and the angle at which the luminous intensity in the third direction is greater than 50% of the luminous intensity is -15° to 15°.

[0057] Optionally, the optical system in this embodiment can be applied to road indicator lights. Taking the road indicator lights on a highway where vehicles are traveling as an example, the first direction is a first horizontal direction corresponding to the direction of vehicle travel, the second direction is a vertical direction pointing downward, and the third direction is a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel. It can be understood that the light emitted along the first direction can enable the vehicle driver to observe the indication information of the road indicator light more clearly; the light shifting to the second direction can reduce the loss of light in the empty direction that is not observable by the vehicle driver, so that the light is concentrated in the lower area that can be observed by the vehicle driver; the light emission angle of the light in the third direction determines the number of lanes that the light can fully display, so that the vehicle driver on the lane that needs to be indicated can more clearly observe the indication information of the road indicator light. It should be explained that only the effective number of road indicator lights is used as an example here. The optical system in this embodiment can also be applied to various lighting application scenarios such as indoor lights and stage lights, which will not be repeated here.

[0058] Furthermore, in order to enable the second curved surface structure 301 to deflect the light passing through the lens 30 toward the second direction, the thickness of the lens 30 gradually decreases along the second direction.

[0059] Optionally, the second direction is a vertically downward direction. It is understandable that, taking the second direction as an example of a vertically downward direction, the thickness of the lens 30 gradually decreases along the second direction. This thick-on-top and thin-on-bottom structural design causes the propagation path of the light inside the lens 30 to change due to the thickness difference at different positions when the light passes through the lens 30. Specifically, the light first emits from the light emitting element 11, and after being gathered and preliminarily adjusted by the optical conductor 12, it enters the lens 30. Inside the lens 30, the light will be refracted and the propagation direction will change according to the thickness change of the lens 30 at different positions. Since the thickness of the lens 30 gradually decreases along the second direction, the propagation direction of the light gradually deflects toward the second direction during the process of passing through the lens 30; finally, the light is emitted from the lens 30 to form a more concentrated light beam deflected toward the second direction, which reduces the scattering of the light in other directions and reduces light waste.

[0060] In some embodiments, the distance between the lens 30 and the light emitting element 11 is in the range of [3 mm, 15 mm].

[0061] It can be understood that by controlling the distance between the lens 30 and the light-emitting element 11 within the range of [3mm, 15mm], the optical system structure of the present invention is more compact, the volume is reduced, and the weight is reduced, which meets the market demand for lightweight products; and this distance design also helps to improve the lighting efficiency and reduce the energy loss of light during the propagation process, thereby achieving higher brightness and better optical performance, avoiding the problems of light loss and large product thickness caused by excessive distance.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 In some embodiments, an unlimited number of light-emitting modules 10 are installed on the same side of the first substrate 20 in a preset arrangement. Preferably, all the light-emitting modules 10 are arranged in a matrix on the same side of the first substrate 20, and each light-emitting module 10 includes an integrated structure formed by a group of light-emitting elements 11 and a light conductor 12. The first substrate 20 is electrically connected to a power supply or an external power supply disposed thereon, and the light-emitting module 10 is electrically connected to the first substrate 20, so that the first substrate 20 provides a current path between the light-emitting elements 11 of the light-emitting module 10 and the power supply. It can be understood that by arranging a plurality of light-emitting modules 10 in a matrix, a plurality of light-emitting modules 10 can be compactly integrated, space can be effectively utilized, and the entire optical system can be made more compact and lightweight. If more light-emitting modules 10 need to be added, new light-emitting modules 10 only need to be added to the first substrate 20, without large-scale changes to the entire system, thereby improving the scalability and flexibility of the system.

[0063] Furthermore, each light-emitting module 10 is provided with a corresponding lens 30, and in the first direction, the light-emitting module 10 is located between the first substrate 20 and the corresponding lens 30. It can be understood that each light-emitting module 10 corresponds to a lens 30, and the light emitted by each light-emitting module 10 can be individually controlled and adjusted, thereby improving the control accuracy of the entire optical system on the light.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first substrate 20 is provided with a plurality of first through holes having the same number as that of the light-emitting module 10, and the plurality of first through holes are arranged in a matrix on the first substrate 20, and the light-emitting module 10 is assembled with the corresponding first through holes through the corresponding first connecting assembly. Specifically, the first connecting assembly includes a first threaded rod 14 and a first mounting seat 13, an internal thread is provided in the first through hole, an external thread is provided on the outer side of the first threaded rod 14, and the first threaded rod 14 is threadedly matched with the first through hole; the first mounting seat 13 is provided at one end of the first threaded rod 14 facing the first direction, and the first mounting seat 13 is parallel to the first substrate 20; the light-emitting module 10 is installed on the side of the first mounting seat 13 away from the first substrate 20, and the position of the light-emitting module 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the first threaded rod 14, so that the light-emitting module 10 is close to or away from its corresponding lens 30, so as to adjust the light-emitting angle of the light emitted through the lens 30. It is understandable that as the light-emitting module 10 ages or the lens 30 ages, the light-emitting angle of the light-emitting module 10 or the optical performance of the lens 30 may change compared to the factory settings. Through the adjustable threaded connection, the relative position of the light-emitting module 10 and the lens 30 can be readjusted when necessary to compensate for these changes and maintain the optical performance of the system stable.

[0065] Optionally, the first connection assembly further includes at least two first guide rods 16, and the first guide holes corresponding to the first guide rods 16 are arranged around the first through hole, one end of the first guide rod 16 is connected to the first mounting seat 13, and the other end passes through the first guide hole; the first mounting seat 13 is provided with a first bearing 15 on one side close to the first substrate 20, the inner ring of the first bearing 15 is connected to the first threaded rod 14, the outer ring of the first bearing 15 is connected to the first mounting seat 13, and there is no direct connection between the first threaded rod 14 and the first mounting seat 13. Therefore, when the position of the light-emitting module 10 is adjusted by adjusting the first threaded rod 14, the light-emitting module 10 will not rotate with the rotation of the first threaded rod 14, but will only move closer to or away from its corresponding lens 30 with the movement of the first mounting seat 13. It is understandable that during the installation and adjustment of the light-emitting module 10, it is necessary to ensure that the light-emitting module 10 can move accurately in a straight line direction to adjust the distance between it and the lens 30, thereby optimizing the light emission angle; at the same time, it is necessary to avoid rotation of the module during movement to avoid affecting the propagation direction of the light and the stability of the optical system. In this embodiment, by adding the structure of the first guide rod 16 and the first bearing 15, the light-emitting module 10 can be moved accurately in a straight line direction, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy and reliability of the system.

[0066] In some embodiments, a plurality of light-emitting modules 10 are arranged in a matrix on the first substrate 20, and a first slideway 40 and a second slideway 50 are provided on both sides of each row of light-emitting modules 10 in the second direction, and a lens 30 corresponding to each light-emitting module 10 is slidably mounted on the first slideway 40 of the corresponding row through a first sliding assembly, and is slidably mounted on the second slideway 50 of the corresponding row through a second sliding assembly. Thus, each lens 30 can move along the first slideway 40 and the second slideway 50 in the second direction to change its relative position with the corresponding light-emitting module 10 in the second direction, thereby changing the offset angle of the light emitted by the corresponding light-emitting module 10 after refraction to the second direction. It can be understood that the lens 30 is installed on the first slide 40 and the second slide 50 through the first sliding assembly and the second sliding assembly, and can move freely along the second direction. The first slide 40 and the second slide 50 provide guidance and restriction for the movement of the lens 30 to ensure that it moves along the path in the second direction. When the relative position of the lens 30 and the light-emitting module 10 changes, the refraction path of the light after passing through the lens 30 will also change accordingly, thereby adjusting the offset angle of the light. By flexibly adjusting the position of the lens 30, fine-tuning can be performed during the use of the system to compensate for the degradation of optical performance due to component aging or environmental changes, thereby extending the service life of the system.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first sliding assembly includes a first sliding member 31, a first connecting member, and a second bearing. The first sliding member 31 is slidably matched with the first slideway 40. Two second through holes are provided on the side of the lens 30 corresponding to the first sliding member 31. The inner side of the second through hole is provided with an internal thread. The outer side of the first connecting member is provided with an external thread. The two first connecting members are respectively threadedly matched with the two second through holes. One end of the first connecting member passes through the corresponding second through hole and is connected to the corresponding inner ring of the second bearing. The outer ring of the second bearing is connected to the first sliding member 31. Preferably, the first connecting member, the second through hole, and the second bearing correspond in the first direction. The second sliding assembly includes a second sliding member 32, a second connecting member, and a third bearing. The second sliding member 32 is slidably matched with the second slideway 50. Two third through holes are provided on the side of the lens 30 corresponding to the second sliding member 32. The inner side of the third through hole is provided with an internal thread. The outer side of the second connecting member is provided with an external thread. The two second connecting members are respectively threadedly matched with the two third through holes. One end of the second connecting member passes through the corresponding third through hole and is connected to the corresponding inner ring of the third bearing. The outer ring of the third bearing is connected to the second sliding member 32. Preferably, the second connecting member, the third through hole, and the third bearing correspond in the first direction. Preferably, the projection of the lens 30 in the first direction is a rectangle, and the two second through holes and the two fourth through holes are respectively located at the four corners of the projection of the lens 30 in the first direction, so that the inclination of the lens 30 relative to the corresponding light-emitting module 10 can be adjusted by regulating the two first connecting members and the two second connecting members. It can be understood that by flexibly adjusting the position and inclination of the lens 30, fine-tuning can be performed during the use of the system to compensate for the degradation of optical performance caused by component aging or environmental changes, thereby extending the service life of the system.

[0068] Optionally, the first sliding member 31 and the second sliding member 32 include a semiconductor refrigeration plate, a cold end of the semiconductor refrigeration plate faces a side close to the light emitting module 10 , and a hot end faces a side away from the light emitting module 10 .
