[0040] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a light emitting device, including a main lens, a side lens and a light board; the side lens is arranged on the peripheral side of the main lens, and the side lens and the main lens are integrally formed to form a lens body, the lens body has a light emitting portion and a light input portion, the light input portion includes a main light input portion and a side light input portion that are spaced apart; the main light input portion is arranged on the side of the lens body having the light input portion, and a main light source corresponding to the main lens and a side light source corresponding to the side lens are arranged on the light board; a light input groove is provided in the middle of the main light input portion, the main light source can extend into the light input groove, and a reflecting surface is provided on the peripheral side of the main light input portion.
[0042] That is, the light emitting device provided by the embodiment of the present invention sets a light entrance groove between the main light entrance part and the main light source, so that the light emitted by the main light source can pass through the two media of air and lens in the light entrance groove to produce refraction, and the reflection surface on the side of the main light entrance part ensures that the light output of the main lens is not affected by the side lens, thereby making the main light source have a better light spot effect while also ensuring the lens angle. At the same time, the side light entrance part ensures that the side light source is collimated to achieve a uniform large-angle light spot effect, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that the main light source and the side light source of the light emitting device affect each other, resulting in poor light spot effect of the main light source and poor light uniformity of the side light source, thereby ensuring the light output effect.
[0043] Specifically, in the light emitting device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the main lens and the side lens are made of the same material and are integrally molded, and the two together constitute a lens body. The main lens is in the shape of an inverted truncated cone, with the top as the light emitting part and the bottom as the light input part. The side lens is arranged around the main lens with the central axis of the main lens as the axis. In this embodiment, the side lens extends in a direction parallel to the central axis of the main lens, so that the side light input part on the side lens and the main light input part of the main lens can be separated. A light input groove is provided in the middle of the main light input part, and the main light source can extend into the light input groove, so that the light generated by the main light source first enters the air in the light input groove and propagates, and then propagates through the main lens, thereby allowing the light emitted by the main light source to pass through the two media of the air and the lens in the light input groove to produce refraction, thereby playing a role in converging the light path and ensuring the performance and light spot of the main light source. The side wall of the main lens is set as a reflective surface, so that the light entering the main lens from the side of the light input groove can be reflected and converged by the reflective surface, avoiding the mutual influence of the light output of the main light source and the auxiliary light source.
[0044] Preferably, the lens body is made of polycarbonate material.
[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lens body is made of polycarbonate, which has a refractive index of approximately 1.59, while the refractive index of air is 1. This allows light to enter a less dense medium from an optically dense medium, causing the light to be reflected between the reflective surface and the lens body. Preferably, the light entrance groove is cylindrically arranged along the direction from the light entrance portion to the light exit portion, and the side light entrance portion is arranged on the side lens, extending cylindrically along the direction from the light exit portion to the side light source.
[0046] Specifically, the side light incident portion is cylindrical as a whole, the side light source is arranged at one end of the side light incident portion, and its geometric center is coaxially arranged with the side light incident portion. Thus, the side light source can be ensured to emit light in a collimated manner through the side light incident portion to achieve a uniform large-angle light spot effect.
[0047] Furthermore, a plurality of side lenses are evenly spaced and arranged around the main lens, and a plurality of side light sources are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the side lenses.
[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, two side lenses are provided, one on either side of the main lens. In other embodiments of the present application, multiple side lenses may be provided as needed, as long as the side lenses are evenly spaced around the main lens to ensure the light spot effect of the side light source. Correspondingly, the number and distribution of the side light sources correspond one-to-one with the number and distribution of the side lenses.
[0049] Preferably, the reflecting surface is in an arc shape, and the reflecting surface gradually approaches the side light incident portion along the direction from the light incident portion to the light exit portion.
[0050] Specifically, the reflecting surface is arc-shaped, and the reflecting surface gradually approaches the side light incident part along the direction from the light incident part to the light exiting part. Thus, the radius of the main light incident part can gradually increase along the direction from the light incident part to the light exiting part, so as to form a gradually increasing reflection area between the side surface of the light incident groove and the reflecting surface, and reflect the light in this area towards...
[0051] The light exiting device provided by the embodiment of the present invention focuses on optimizing the structural parameters of the light exiting groove and the side light incident part. Preferably, the groove depth h of the light incident groove c and the radius r0 of the light incident groove satisfy the following formula;
[0052] r0 = h c tanθ div
[0053] where, θ div is the incident critical angle of the light of the main light source.
[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the area where the light rays passing through the circular surface at the top of the light incident groove are distributed is defined as the central projection light exiting area, and the area where the light rays passing through the side surface of the light incident groove are distributed is defined as the peripheral total reflection light exiting area. After the light rays pass through the side surface of the light incident groove, they will irradiate on the reflecting surface of the main light incident part, and then be totally reflected and turned towards the light exiting part. θ div is the critical angle between the light rays of the main light source entering the central transmission light exiting area and entering the peripheral total reflection light exiting area. In this embodiment, the groove depth h of the light incident groove c and the radius r0 of the light incident groove satisfy the formula r0 = h c tanθ div , thus, by adjusting the groove depth h of the light incident groove c the exit position of the light rays from the refraction to the total reflection area can be adjusted, reducing the variables to be controlled, and further ensuring that the incident angle of the light rays does not exceed the critical angle, avoiding the light rays from being unable to be totally reflected after bouncing off the reflecting surface.
[0055] Preferably, the groove depth h of the light incident groove c is greater than one-fourth of the length h of the side light incident part, and the groove depth h of the light incident groove c is less than three-fourths of the length h of the side light incident part; where h is the length of the side light incident part.
[0056] Specifically, the groove depth h of the light incident groove in this embodiment c and the length h of the side light incident part satisfy the relationship of 1 / 4h < hc < ¾h. Since the length h of the side light incident part determines the highest height of the outer reflecting surface of the main light incident part, when the groove depth h of the light incident groove c ]When the depth h is greater than three-quarters of the length h of the side light incident portion, the light entering the peripheral total reflection light exit area from the side of the light incident groove cannot be completely reflected by the reflective surface and enters the side light incident portion, thereby affecting the lighting effect of the side light source. c When it is greater than one quarter of the length h of the side light incident portion, the depth of the light incident groove will be too shallow, making it difficult to meet the installation requirements of the main light source.
[0057] Preferably, the radius R of the side light incident portion and the length h of the side light incident portion satisfy the following formula:
[0058]
[0059] Where n is the refractive index of the lens.
[0060] Specifically, due to the structural limitations of the lamp, the installation dimensions of the light output device are fixed, so the center distance between the side light input portion and the main light input portion is fixed. Therefore, the larger the radius R of the light input portion, the smaller the length h of the side light input portion. In this embodiment, the radius R of the light input portion and the length h of the side light input portion satisfy the following formula: It can ensure that the light is fully reflected at the boundary, ensuring that the main light and side light paths do not interfere with each other.
[0061] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the optimization results of the structural parameters of the light exit groove and the side light incident portion, this embodiment provides two comparative cases.
[0062] Case 1: This case complies with all the above formulas. The specific parameters are set as follows: the depth of the light entrance groove hc is 3.5mm, the radius R of the side light entrance is 1.5mm, the length h of the side light entrance is 4.33mm, and the critical angle of incidence of the main light source is θ. div The main light source distribution simulation in Case 1 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the main light source is completely reflected by the reflective surface, thus preventing the light from the main lens and the side lens from interfering with each other. The main light source has a good spot effect and a clear focusing effect, which ensures the product has high long-range transmission. At the same time, the side light source is not affected by the optical system of the main light source, achieving uniform light output from multiple light sources in a single lens.
[0063] Case 2: The specific parameters of this case are as follows: the depth of the light entrance groove hc is 2.2mm, the radius R of the side light entrance is 1.5mm, the length h of the side light entrance is 1.7mm, and the critical angle of incidence of the main light source is θ. div The main light source distribution simulation in Case 2 is as follows: Figure 4As shown in the figure, the light emitted by the main light source is not completely reflected by the reflective surface. Some light enters the side light input part, resulting in the main light source's light not being collimated and generating a lot of stray light. The main light source and the side light source affect each other, resulting in poor main light spot effect and poor light uniformity from the side light source.

[0065] The present invention also provides a lighting device, which includes all the technical features of the above-mentioned light-emitting device, and can naturally achieve all the above-mentioned technical effects. This embodiment will not be described in detail.
[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
