[0035] Example 1

[0036] See also Figure 1-2 , this embodiment provides a gradient atmosphere lamp, as can be seen from the figure, which includes a light source 20, a shell 10 and a first mask 30, the inner side of the shell 10 is provided with a reflective module 11, the first mask is provided with a light-transmitting area 31, and the light-transmitting area 31 includes a first light-transmitting area 311 and a second light-transmitting area 312 connected from bottom to top; the shell 10 and the first mask 30 surround a cavity, the light source 20 is arranged in the cavity, and the light source 20 is arranged toward the reflective module; wherein, after the light emitted by the light source 20 to the reflective module 11 is reflected by the reflective module 11, the brightness of the light reaching the first light-transmitting area 311 is greater than the brightness of the light reaching the second light-transmitting area 312.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first light-transmitting area 311 receives at least 70% of the reflected light, so that the first light-transmitting area 311 reaches the optimal brightness requirement; at the same time, in the longitudinal space, the first light-transmitting area 311 occupies 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the light-transmitting area 31, preferably 1 / 3 to 1 / 2.

[0038] The gradient atmosphere lamp and vehicle provided in this embodiment use the reflective module 11 disposed inside the housing 10 to reflect most of the light emitted by the light source 20 to a specific area, so that the brightness of the light reaching the first light-transmitting area 311 is greater than the brightness of the light reaching the second light-transmitting area 312. This embodiment uses a simple structure to achieve a gradient effect of the brightness of the light in the light-transmitting area 31 in the longitudinal space in a limited internal space, and at the same time, the first light-transmitting area 311 reaches the optimal brightness requirement, greatly improving the optical effect of direct light and reducing the impact of colored light and glare on users.

[0039] In this embodiment, the reflective module 11 includes a first reflective surface 111 and a second reflective surface 112, wherein the first reflective surface 111 reflects the light of the light source 20 to the first light-transmitting area 311, and the second reflective surface 112 reflects the light of the light source 20 to the second light-transmitting area 312. According to the principle of light reflection, the first reflective surface 111 is located below the second reflective surface 112, and the reflection angle of the first reflective surface 111 is smaller than the reflection angle of the second reflective surface 112, so that the first reflective surface 111 reflects the light of the light source 20 to the first light-transmitting area 311, and the second reflective surface 112 reflects the light of the light source 20 to the second light-transmitting area 312.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first reflecting surface 111 and the second reflecting surface 112 are distributed in an arc shape in the longitudinal direction, so that the brightness of the light in the light-transmitting area 31 can gradually increase from top to bottom in the limited Z-direction height space in the housing 10 .

[0041] See also Figure 2 In this embodiment, the light source 20 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 10, and at least 80% of the light emitted by the light source 20 can be directly reflected by the arc-shaped reflective module 11, and the remaining small amount of light not reflected by the reflective module 11 will be directly emitted to the second light-transmitting area 312. Further, by adjusting the structure of the first reflective surface 111 and the second reflective surface 112, the brightness of the light in the light-transmitting area 31 gradually decreases from the first light-transmitting area 311 to the second light-transmitting area 312, and at the same time, the first light-transmitting area 311 can receive more than 70% of the reflected light, achieving the best brightness requirement. As a result, the number of parts required for the atmosphere lamp is less, and the lamp body structure is compact.

[0042] In this embodiment, the surface of the first reflective surface 111 has at least one of a sawtooth structure, an etched structure or a planar structure, and the surface of the second reflective surface 112 has at least one of a sawtooth structure, an etched structure or a planar structure.

[0043] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the surface structure of the first reflective surface 111 is independently a sawtooth structure, an etched structure, a plane structure, or a combination of at least two of the above structures; the surface structure of the second reflective surface 112 is independently a sawtooth structure, an etched structure, a plane structure, or a combination of at least two of the above structures. The sawtooth structure and the etched structure can better even out and soften the light, and the plane structure can reduce scattering and increase brightness. The reflective module adopts a combination of the above multiple structures to enhance the visual effect of the atmosphere light.

[0044] In other embodiments, the material of the first reflective surface 111 and the second reflective surface 112 is a material with a reflectivity greater than 50%, preferably a material with a reflectivity greater than 80%. In this embodiment, the material of the first reflective surface 111 and the second reflective surface 112 is independently a metal layer with high reflectivity, such as aluminum or chromium. The aluminum layer or the chromium layer can be plated on the inner side of the shell by a spraying process or an electroplating process; the surface structure of the first reflective surface 111 and the second reflective surface 112 is further adjusted to constrain the light emitting direction of the reflected light, so as to achieve a gradual brightness effect of the light in the light-transmitting area 31, and at the same time, the first light-transmitting area 311 reaches the optimal brightness requirement.

[0045] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the light source 20 also includes a circuit board 21 and a controller (not shown in the figure). The circuit board 21 is electrically connected to the light source 20 and the controller to provide power to the light source 20; the light source 20 is installed on the circuit board 21, and the controller is used to control the brightness and duration of the light source 20.

[0046] In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes an opening, and the first mask 30 covers the opening to achieve a dustproof effect, and can be fastened by means of screws, buckles, etc. The housing 10 is made of PC material, which has the advantages of light weight and good heat dissipation effect.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] See also Figure 3 The gradient atmosphere lamp provided in this embodiment further includes a second mask 40 on the basis of the embodiment 1. The second mask 40 is a transparent lampshade, and the second mask 40 covers the outer side of the first mask 30. The light transmitted from the light-transmitting area 31 of the first mask 30 is transmitted through the second mask 40, thereby improving the quality of the atmosphere lamp as a whole.

[0049] For example, in one embodiment, the second mask 40 is a smoky transparent lampshade, and turning on the ambient light can present a crystal-like transparency.

[0050] In other embodiments, the surface of the second mask 40 has an optical texture, and the light transmitted through the light-transmitting area 31 of the first mask 30 is refracted and transmitted through the optical texture of the second mask 40. Combined with the control of the light source 20 by the controller and matching the frequency of the music rhythm, the quality of the atmosphere light can be improved at a lower cost, thereby enhancing the user's visual sensory experience.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] See also Figure 3 This embodiment further provides a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body 50 and the gradual-change atmosphere lamp described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. The gradual-change atmosphere lamp is mounted on the vehicle body 50.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0054] The above is a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
