Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lighting fixtures, and more particularly to crystal panels for diffuser ambient lighting. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing ambient light crystal panels are made of plastic or acrylic, which can lead to cracks and white spots due to aging or deformation after long-term use. They are also prone to softening and cracking in high-temperature environments. Poor quality LED beads may cause uneven brightness or white spots. Therefore, a diffuser ambient light crystal panel is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, the present invention aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0004] The diffuser ambient light crystal panel includes a crystal panel body with multiple grooves arranged at equal intervals on the top of the crystal panel body. The grooves are recessed downwards. The crystal panel body is made of Durabio® polycarbonate (PC) material. The multiple grooves reduce the material thickness, allowing light to penetrate more easily. The refraction of light through the grooves enhances transparency, making the crystal panel body appear lighter and more translucent. The crystal panel body has multiple facets, which are obliquely distributed on the sides of the surface of the crystal panel body.

[0005] Preferably, the front side of the crystal panel body is formed with a U-shaped opening, and the U-shaped opening is recessed into the crystal panel body. The U-shaped opening is formed with a first oblique cut surface, and the first oblique cut surface is obliquely distributed on both sides inside the U-shaped opening.

[0006] Preferably, the crystal panel body is formed with a second beveled surface, and the second beveled surface is obliquely located on the side below the crystal panel body, and the second beveled surface is connected to multiple cut surfaces.

[0007] Preferably, the crystal panel body is coated with a black lacquer coating, and the black lacquer coating is applied to the bottom surface of the crystal panel body.

[0008] Preferably, the crystal panel body is electroplated with a PVD chromium plating layer, and the PVD chromium plating layer is located below the crystal panel body, and the PVD chromium plating layer is at the same horizontal plane as the bottom surface of the crystal panel body.

[0009] Preferably, the process further includes a fabrication process for preparing the crystal panel body, the fabrication process comprising the following steps:

[0010] S1. Based on actual processing requirements, design mold drawings that make up the main body of the crystal panel, and at the same time prepare the Durabio® polycarbonate (PC) material for making the main body of the crystal panel.

[0011] S2. The mold design drawings in S1 are processed and assembled to form a mold, which is used to form the crystal panel body.

[0012] S3. The Durabio® polycarbonate (PC) material that makes up the main body of the crystal panel is hot-melted and injected into the mold, and then injection molded to form the main body of the crystal panel.

[0013] S4. After the mold in S3 is injection molded to form the main body of the crystal panel, it is then annealed to allow the plastic molecules to obtain enough energy to rearrange and relax, thereby eliminating or reducing internal stress.

[0014] S5. The crystal panel body formed by injection molding in S4 is transferred to the CNC machining position for CNC machining, and multiple groove strips are carved and multiple cutting surfaces, the first bevel and the second bevel are cut. The crystal panel body 1 is then ground and polished.

[0015] S6. Perform an appearance inspection on the crystal panel body after S5 grinding and polishing. After the inspection is completed and the crystal panel body is a good product, apply a black paint coating 7 to the good crystal panel body, so that the black paint coating is applied to the lower side of the crystal panel body.

[0016] S7. Electroplating is performed on the crystal panel body after the black paint coating is applied in S6, and a PVD chromium plating layer is formed on the underside of the crystal panel body.

[0017] S8. Inspect the crystal panel body that has completed the electroplating process in S7, and package it after the inspection is completed.

[0018] Preferably, the annealing temperature in S4 is 85 degrees Celsius for 1 hour.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by using multiple cut surfaces to refract light when it enters the crystal panel body, the direction of propagation is changed, the light can be focused to form a local bright area, the cut surfaces can adjust the internal mass distribution of the crystal panel body 1, making its center of gravity more stable and reducing tilting or shaking caused by the shift of the center of gravity, and at the same time, because the crystal panel body is made of Durabio® polycarbonate (PC) material, the crystal panel body has a transparency similar to glass, which can provide a clear light transmission effect, meet the optical performance requirements of lighting fixtures, and can maintain excellent impact resistance at extremely low temperatures, making it less prone to breakage, thus enhancing the safety and durability of the product.

[0020] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-3In this embodiment of the invention, the diffuser ambient light crystal panel includes a crystal panel body 1. The crystal panel body 1 is formed with multiple groove strips 3, which are equidistantly arranged on the upper part of the crystal panel body 1 and are all concave downwards. The crystal panel body 1 is made of Durabio® polycarbonate (PC) material. The multiple groove strips 3 can reduce the material thickness, making light easier to penetrate. At the same time, the refraction of the multiple groove strips 3 enhances the transparency, making the crystal panel body 1 look lighter and more transparent. The crystal panel body 1 is formed with multiple cut surfaces 2, which are obliquely distributed on the side of the surface of the crystal panel body 1. The multiple cut surfaces 2 cause light to be refracted when entering the crystal panel body 1, changing the direction of propagation, focusing the light, and forming a local bright area. The cut surfaces can adjust the internal mass distribution of the crystal panel body 1, making its center of gravity more stable and reducing tilting or shaking caused by the shift of the center of gravity.

[0028] The crystal panel body 1 has a U-shaped opening 4 formed on its front side, and the U-shaped opening 4 is recessed into the crystal panel body 1. The U-shaped opening 4 has a first oblique cut surface 5, and the first oblique cut surface 5 is obliquely distributed on both sides inside the U-shaped opening 4. This allows the first oblique cut surface 5 to control the light scattering angle when light shines into the U-shaped opening 4, avoiding light concentration or dark areas, making the overall lighting more uniform. The light is reflected and refracted multiple times between the cut surfaces, which can be decomposed into light of different wavelengths, producing a rainbow-like iridescent effect.

[0029] The crystal panel body 1 is formed with a second oblique cut surface 6, and the second oblique cut surface 6 is obliquely located on the side below the crystal panel body 1. The second oblique cut surface 6 is connected with multiple cut surfaces 2, so that the second oblique cut surface 6 and multiple cut surfaces 2 are combined and connected to form an edge, so that when light shines on the crystal panel body 1, it will be refracted multiple times, decomposing a single light source into multiple beams of light, forming a richer light spot distribution.

[0030] The crystal panel body 1 is coated with a black lacquer coating 7, which is applied to the bottom surface of the crystal panel body 1. The black lacquer coating 7 can absorb external light and reduce diffuse reflection on the surface of the crystal panel body 1, making the black area appear deeper and purer.

[0031] The crystal panel body 1 is electroplated with a PVD chromium plating layer 8, and the PVD chromium plating layer 8 is located below the crystal panel body 1. The PVD chromium plating layer 8 is at the same level as the bottom surface of the crystal panel body 1, thereby forming a dense coating on the bottom surface of the crystal panel body 1 through the PVD chromium plating layer 8, increasing the high hardness and wear resistance of the crystal panel body 1, and keeping the crystal panel body 1 bright and new for a long time.

[0032] It also includes a manufacturing process for preparing the crystal panel body 1, comprising the following steps:

[0033] S1. Based on actual processing requirements, design mold drawings to form the crystal panel body 1, and at the same time prepare the Durabio® polycarbonate (PC) material for making the crystal panel body 1.

[0034] S2. The mold design drawings in S1 are processed and assembled to form a mold, which is used to form the crystal panel body 1.

[0035] S3. The Durabio® polycarbonate (PC) material that makes up the crystal panel body 1 is hot-melted and injected into the mold, and the crystal panel body 1 is formed by injection molding through the mold;

[0036] S4. After the mold in S3 is injection molded to form the crystal panel body 1, it is then annealed to allow the plastic molecules to obtain enough energy to rearrange and relax, thereby eliminating or reducing internal stress.

[0037] S5. The crystal panel body 1 formed by injection molding in S4 is transferred to the CNC machining position for CNC machining, and multiple groove strips 3 are carved and multiple cutting surfaces 2, the first oblique surface 5 and the second oblique surface 6 are cut. The crystal panel body 1 is then ground and polished.

[0038] S6. Perform an appearance inspection on the crystal panel body 1 after grinding and polishing in S5. When the inspection is completed and the crystal panel body 1 is a good product, apply a black paint coating 7 to the good crystal panel body 1, so that the black paint coating 7 is applied to the lower side of the crystal panel body 1.

[0039] S7. Electroplating is performed on the crystal panel body 1 after applying the black paint coating 7 in S6, and a PVD chromium plating layer 8 is formed on the lower part of the crystal panel body 1.

[0040] S8. Inspect the crystal panel body 1 that has completed electroplating in S7, and package it after the inspection is completed.

[0041] The annealing temperature in S4 is 85 degrees Celsius for 1 hour.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.
