Detailed implementation manners

[0040] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore, should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations. In the description of the implementation manners, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0043] The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0044] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0045] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a light guide plate 100 has an annular structure and includes:

[0046] An outgoing light surface 110;

[0047] An incoming light surface 120, which is disposed opposite to the outgoing light surface 110;

[0048] The incoming light surface 120 includes an avoidance area 130 and a dot area 140;

[0049] A plurality of light-transmitting holes 131 are provided in the avoidance area 130, and the light-transmitting holes 131 are disposed corresponding to the position of the light source 200;

[0050] The dot area 140 has a number of dots arranged regularly, and the density of the dots gradually increases in the direction away from the avoidance area 130.

[0051] The dots provided on the incoming light surface 120 are structures sunken towards the inside of the light guide plate 100, and this sunken structure can increase the reflection of light relative to the plane.

[0052] The closer to the light source 200, the greater the light intensity, that is, the more light rays. Fewer dot distributions can reflect more light rays; the farther away from the light source 200, the smaller the light intensity, that is, the fewer light rays. Therefore, more dot distributions are required to achieve more light rays to match the effect of reflecting light rays in other areas of the light guide plate 100.

[0053] At the same time, the position of the avoidance area 130 corresponds to the position of the light source 200, and a plurality of light-transmitting holes 131 are provided in the avoidance area 130, so that the avoidance area 130 can also transmit part of the light, so that the light guide plate 100 can present a complete annular light-emitting effect.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the dot area 140 includes a first dot area 141, a second dot area 142, and a third dot area 143 with gradually increasing dot densities; the first dot area 141 is adjacent to the avoidance area 130, the third dot area 143 is disposed opposite to the avoidance area 130; the second dot area 142 is located between the first dot area 141 and the third dot area 143.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, in order to improve the light output uniformity of the light guide plate 100, dot areas 140 with different densities are provided according to the different distances between each area on the light guide plate 100 and the light source 200.

[0056] For the first dot area 141, which is adjacent to the avoidance area 130, that is, the closest to the light source 200. Therefore, in order to increase the uniformity of light guiding, the dot distribution in the first dot area 141 is sparse, that is, a small amount of light is reflected.

[0057] Specifically, within the first dot area 141, the distance between two adjacent dots is 1 ± Δ mm, where Δ is a fluctuation value not greater than 0.1 mm.

[0058] For the second dot area 142, it is arranged adjacent to the first dot area 141 along the direction away from the light source 200. The dot density within the second dot area 142 is greater than that of the first dot area 141, and it can reflect relatively more light than the first dot area 141.

[0059] Specifically, within the second dot area 142, the distance between two adjacent dots is 1.4 ± Δ mm, where Δ is a fluctuation value not greater than 0.1 mm.

[0060] For the third dot area 143, its two ends are connected to the second dot area 142. The third dot area 143 is located on the opposite side of the avoidance area 130, that is, the farthest from the light source 200, and less light is transmitted to the third dot area 143. Therefore, the dot density of the third dot area 143 is set to be greater, and its density is greater than that of the second dot area 142, so as to achieve more light reflection and achieve the effect of uniform light emission of the light guide plate 100.

[0061] Specifically, within the third dot area 143, the distance between two adjacent dots is 1.9 ± Δ mm, where Δ is a fluctuation value not greater than 0.1 mm.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 As shown, in order to further reduce the light emission intensity of the light guide plate 100 near the light source 200, the light incident surface 120 is further provided with a blank area 150, and the blank area 150 is arranged adjacent to the avoidance area 130.

[0063] No dots are provided in the blank area 150, that is, no additional light reflection is added, and only the light guiding property of the light guide plate 100 is used for light emission, so that the light emission intensity of the blank area 150 matches that of each dot area 140.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, within the same dot area 140, the sizes of all dots are the same, that is, the inner diameters and recess depths of all dots are the same. Dots of the same size facilitate simplifying the production process of the light guide plate 100.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the sizes of the dots within the same dot area 140 may also be unequal, and the size of the dots increases as the direction away from the light source 200.

[0066] That is, within the same dot area 140, the size of the dots closer to the light source 200 is smaller than the size of the dots farther from the light source 200. The larger dot size can reflect more light and can make up for the light loss caused by being farther away from the light source 200.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the shape of the dots includes but is not limited to one or more of a circle, a square, or a polygon.

[0068] In Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the shapes of the dots within the dot area 140 are all circular. Since the reflection surface of a circle is arc-shaped and the direction of the reflected light is relatively uniform, the preferred shape of the dots is preferably circular.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present utility model, for the setting of the dots, it can be achieved by dot embossing or spraying white paint.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the distances between the plurality of light-transmitting holes 131 are unequal, and the distance gradually increases as the direction away from the light source 200.

[0071] The light source 200 generally uses lamp beads 210, and the number of lamp beads 210 is one or more. To avoid too strong light at a certain point on the light guide plate 100, the light-transmitting holes 131 are not directly above the light source 200, and a plurality of light-transmitting holes 131 are provided to achieve the light-transmitting effect of the avoidance area 130, so that the light-emitting surface 110 of the light guide plate 100 is a complete annular structure.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the shape and size of the light-transmitting holes 131 are set according to the position of the lamp beads 210 in the light source 200; preferably, the size of the light-transmitting holes 131 is gradually changing, and in the direction along the approach to the lamp beads 210, the size of the light-transmitting holes 131 gradually decreases. Because the closer to the lamp beads 210, the greater the light intensity, so it is necessary to reduce the size of the light-transmitting holes 131 to limit the emission of too much light.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the avoidance area 130 is provided with a light-shielding layer; the light-shielding layer covers the area within the avoidance area 130 except the light-transmitting holes 131. It can ensure that the light of the light source 200 only transmits upward from the light-transmitting holes 131.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present utility model, for the setting of the light-transmitting holes 131, they can be openings made in the light-shielding member, such as die-cut openings in reflective paper; or the light-transmitting holes 131 can also be formed by painting the light guide plate 100, with the light-transmitting holes 131 being the areas that are not painted, thus forming the light-transmitting holes 131.

[0075] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present utility model are:

[0076] According to the setting position of the light source 200, the present utility model opens dots with different densities on the light-incident surface 120 of the light guide plate 100, enabling the light guide plate 100 to achieve uniform light emission on the basis of having the avoidance area 130, and capable of forming a complete annular light-emitting effect.

[0077] Example 2: Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this example provides a light-emitting unit, which includes the above-mentioned light guide plate 100 and light source 200; the light source 200 is arranged in the avoidance area 130 of the light guide plate 100. Specifically, the avoidance area 130 is a rectangular groove structure, and the light source 200 extends into this rectangular groove through the PCB board 220, and the light of the light source 200 enters the light guide plate 100 for divergent display.

[0078] The direct-lit LED used for the light source 200 emits light directly, and the light is relatively strong. Therefore, by passing through small holes for light transmission, a relatively strong brightness can be achieved, and by adjusting the aperture and density of the small holes, the purpose of making the overall brightness of the shaded part uniform can be achieved. Generally speaking, the mesh holes in the middle part of the avoidance area 130 are smaller, and the mesh holes in the outer part are larger, which is easier to achieve the overall uniform effect.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present utility model, a reflective film 230 is attached to the light-incident surface 120, and the area of the reflective film 230 is not less than the area of the dot area 140.

[0080] Specifically, the reflective film 230 is fixedly adhered to the light guide plate 100, and its radial dimension is equal to the radial dimension of the light-incident surface 120 in the radial direction, and the area of the reflective film 230 is equal to the area of the dot area 140 in the circumferential direction.

[0081] Example 3: Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, this embodiment provides a speaker 300, which includes the above-mentioned light-emitting unit, a speaker body 310, and a diffusion plate 320; the speaker body 310 is embedded with the light guide plate 100; the diffusion plate 320 includes a first connection surface 321 and a second connection surface 322, the first connection surface 321 is connected to the housing 360, and the second connection surface 322 is connected to the speaker body 310; the second connection surface 322 is closer to the light guide plate 100 than the first connection surface 321.

[0082] Referring to Figure 8 As shown, the diffusion plate 320 has a horn-shaped structure with an opening in the middle, because the first connection surface 321 and the second connection surface 322 are connected by an inclined surface 323 in the middle; sealing members are provided on both the first connection surface 321 and the second connection surface 322, and the sealing members can be sealing foam, so that a closed space is formed in the front cavity of the speaker 300, which is beneficial to improving its acoustic effect.

[0083] The material of the diffusion plate 320 is not limited. Generally, substrates such as PC or PMMA are used, and diffusion particles are added inside, which has the function of uniform light and color.

[0084] Referring to Figure 7 As shown, the speaker 300 further includes a housing 360, which forms an installation space to facilitate the installation of the light guide plate 100 and the speaker body 310.

[0085] Specifically, a support member 350 is provided in the housing 360, and a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the support member 350 for fixing the light guide plate 100 and the speaker body 310; at the same time, fixing ear plates 160 are provided on the outer periphery of the light guide plate 100; the fixing ear plates 160 are fixedly connected to the support member 350 by cooperating with screws, etc.; in addition, fixing support plates 330 are also provided on the outer peripheries of the diffusion plate and the speaker body 310, and the fixing support plates 330 are fixedly connected to the support member 350 by cooperating with screws, etc. to fix the diffusion plate 320 and the speaker body 310.

[0086] During the installation process, the positions of the fixing support plates 330 and the fixing ear plates 160 are staggered, so as to save installation space and provide the stability of the installation structure.

[0087] In order to provide acoustic effects, a hollow fixed plate 340 is provided on one side of the housing 360 and on the side close to the speaker 300; the first connection surface 321 of the diffusion plate 320 is connected to the hollow fixed plate 340; effectively improving the acoustic effect.

[0088] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0089] When the light guide plate 100 and the light-emitting unit are applied in the loudspeaker 300, the added diffuser plate 320 can not only ensure the acoustic effect, but also play a role in uniform light and color.

[0090] 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 foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions required to be protected by the present invention.
