Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lighting, and in particular relates to a light spot adjustment mechanism and a lighting device. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are two ways to change the spot size of a single lamp:

[0003] One is to use a lens to achieve the change of the light spot by changing the distance between a single lens and the light source; or to use the misalignment of two lenses to achieve the change of the light spot. This solution requires the lens to be moved or rotated, and the structure of the lamp is complex.

[0004] The second is to use a lens plus a liquid crystal chip. This solution has no mechanical structure, but because of the liquid crystal chip, the luminous efficiency is reduced.

[0005] Based on the current variable light spot solution, there are defects of low luminous efficiency and complex structure. It is urgent to design a mechanism that can control the light spot with simple structure and high luminous efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to address the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a light spot adjustment mechanism, which controls the switches of the first light source ring, the second light source ring and the third light source ring of the light source assembly by setting a controller, so that different light rays pass through the TIR lens to obtain different light distribution angles, thereby solving the problem that the variable light spot mechanism has a complex structure or low luminous efficiency, and realizes adjustable light spot change, while satisfying the simple design of the lighting structure and high luminous efficiency, and can effectively reduce the production cost of the lighting structure; the utility model also provides a lighting device, which, by setting the light spot adjustment mechanism, achieves a simple structure of the lighting device while satisfying the adjustable light spot, thereby reducing the production cost of the lighting device.

[0007] The technical effect to be achieved by the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A light spot adjustment mechanism, including a circuit board, a light source assembly and a TIR lens;

[0009] The circuit board includes a substrate and a controller disposed on the substrate, and the controller is electrically connected to the light source assembly;

[0010] The light source assembly includes, from the inside to the outside, a first light source component, a second light source component, and a third light source component, the first light source component, the second light source component, and the third light source component are all distributed in a ring shape on the substrate, and respectively form a first light source ring, a second light source ring, and a third light source ring with the center of the substrate as the center O, and the first light source ring, the second light source ring, and the third light source ring together form a light-emitting area;

[0011] The TIR lens is disposed on the light source assembly, and the light emitted from the light emitting area is emitted through the TIR lens to form a light spot.

[0012] In the utility model, the controller can independently control the opening or closing of the first light source ring, the second light source ring and the third light source ring. By controlling the light source assembly, light of different directions or different luminous fluxes can pass through the TIR lens, thereby realizing a light spot that can be adjusted by 15-50 degrees. Its structural design is relatively simple, which effectively reduces the manufacturing cost. Secondly, to adjust the change of the light spot, it is only necessary to control the controller in the circuit board, so that the light spot can be adjusted without moving the position of a single lens. The operation is simple and easy, and it is convenient for the rapid adjustment of the change of the light spot. And by setting a single TIR lens, the light in the light source component has better penetration, so the luminous efficiency is higher.

[0013] Wherein, one TIR lens is provided, and the lens can be a PMMA lens, a PC lens or a glass lens.

[0014] If the first light source ring is an integral light, the light will be damaged, which will cause failure to adjust the light spot. By setting a plurality of first light source components in a ring shape to form a first light source ring, when one of the first light source components is damaged, it can avoid a significant impact on the adjustment of the light spot, and the tolerance is strong. Among them, there are 5 first light source components, 10 second light source components, and 15 third light source components.

[0015] Furthermore, the first light source ring has a first diameter, and the first diameter is 3-7 mm. With this setting, the light of the first light source ring passes through the inner side of the TIR lens to adjust the light spot with a smaller angle, such as a light distribution angle of 15 degrees. The diameter of the first light source module can be flexibly set according to the light spot requirements of the actual lighting device, which is highly flexible.

[0016] Furthermore, in the top view interface of the light source assembly, the center O is connected to the center of the first light source to form a ray a, and the center O is connected to the center of the adjacent first light source to form a ray b, and the ray a and the ray b have a first angle α; the value range of the first angle α is 70-74°. Through this arrangement, the first light source components are evenly arranged, ensuring that the light of the first light source components evenly penetrates the TIR lens, ensuring the quality of the light spot, and having good light stability.

[0017] Furthermore, the second light source ring has a second diameter, and the second diameter is 8-12 mm. Through this setting, the light of the second light source ring passes through the middle position of the TIR lens to adjust the light spot at an intermediate angle, such as a light distribution angle of 36 degrees, to ensure the reliability of the light spot change adjustment.

[0018] Furthermore, in the top view interface of the light source assembly, a ray c is formed by connecting the circle center O and the center of the second light source, and a ray d is formed by connecting the circle center O and the center of the adjacent second light source, and the ray c and the ray d have a second angle β; the value range of the second angle β is 34-38°. Through this arrangement, the second light source components are evenly arranged, ensuring that the light of the second light source components evenly penetrates the TIR lens, ensuring the quality of the light spot, and having good light stability.

[0019] Furthermore, the third light source ring has a third diameter, and the first diameter is 13-17 mm. With this arrangement, the light of the third light source ring passes through the outer side of the TIR lens to adjust a larger angle of the light spot, such as a light distribution angle of 50 degrees, to ensure the reliability of the light spot change adjustment.

[0020] Furthermore, in the top view interface of the light source assembly, a ray e is formed by connecting the circle center O and the center of the third light source, and a ray f is formed by connecting the circle center O and the center of the adjacent third light source, and the ray e and the ray f have a third angle γ; the value range of the third angle γ is 22-26°. Through this arrangement, a plurality of third light sources are evenly arranged, ensuring that the light of the plurality of third light sources evenly penetrates the TIR lens, ensuring the quality of the light spot, and having good light stability.

[0021] Furthermore, the TIR lens includes a light incident portion, a reflective portion and a light output portion, the light incident portion is provided with a light incident cavity, the light source assembly is arranged at the bottom of the light incident cavity, and the light emitted by the light source assembly is emitted through the light incident portion, the reflective portion and the light output portion to form a light spot.

[0022] Furthermore, when the controller controls the first light source ring to emit light alone, and the second light source and the third light source ring do not emit light, the light distribution angle of the light spot is 14-16°.

[0023] When the controller controls the first light source ring and the second light source ring to emit light at the same time and the third light source ring does not emit light, the light distribution angle of the light spot is 15-36°; wherein, the light flux ratio of the first light source ring and the second light source ring can be adjusted to control the light distribution angle, and when the light flux ratio of the second light source ring is higher, the light distribution angle of the light spot is larger.

[0024] The controller controls the first light source ring, the second light source ring and the third light source ring to emit light simultaneously, and the light distribution angle of the light spot is 15-50°; wherein, when the luminous flux proportion of the second light source ring and the third light source ring is higher, the light distribution angle of the light spot is larger.

[0025] By controlling the opening or closing of the first light source ring, the second light source ring and the third light source ring, the switching of light spots with different light distribution angles can be flexibly achieved, and the operation is simple and fast.

[0026] The lighting device includes the above-mentioned light spot adjustment mechanism, which realizes that the structure of the lighting device is simple and the production cost of the lighting device is reduced while satisfying the requirement that the light spot can be adjusted.

[0027] Based on the above technical solution, the technical effects achieved by the utility model are:

[0028] (1) The controller can independently control the opening or closing of the first light source ring, the second light source ring and the third light source ring. By controlling the light source assembly, light of different directions or different light fluxes can pass through the TIR lens, thereby achieving a light spot that can be adjusted by 15-50 degrees. The structure design of the light spot adjustment mechanism is simple, which effectively reduces the manufacturing cost;

[0029] (2) To adjust the light spot change, you only need to control the controller in the circuit board, so that the light spot can be adjusted without moving the single lens. The operation is simple and easy, and it is convenient for rapid adjustment of the light spot change;

[0030] (3) By setting a single TIR lens, the light in the light source component has better penetration and high luminous efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0053] In the present invention, the controller 12 can independently control the opening or closing of the first light source ring 21, the second light source ring 22 and the third light source ring 23. By controlling the light source assembly 2, light of different directions or different luminous fluxes can pass through the TIR lens 3, thereby realizing a light spot that can be adjusted by 15-50 degrees. Its structural design is relatively simple, which effectively reduces the manufacturing cost. Secondly, to adjust the change of the light spot, it is only necessary to control the controller 12 in the circuit board 1, so that the light spot can be adjusted without moving the position of a single lens. The operation is simple and easy, and it is convenient for the rapid adjustment of the change of the light spot.

[0055] If the first light source ring 21 is an integral light, the light will be damaged, which will cause failure to adjust the light spot.

Through this setting, the light of the first light source ring 21 passes through the inner side of the TIR lens 3 to adjust the light spot with a smaller angle, such as a light distribution angle of 15 degrees. And the diameter of the first light source module can be flexibly set according to the light spot requirements of the actual lighting device, which is highly flexible.

Through this setting, the first light source elements 211 are evenly arranged, ensuring that the light of the first light source elements 211 evenly penetrates the TIR lens 3, ensuring the quality of the light spot, and the light stability is good.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, the second light source ring 22 has a second diameter 222, and the second diameter 222 is 10 mm.
