[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present utility model. To simplify the disclosure of the present utility model, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present utility model. In addition, the present utility model may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0053] For ease of description, spatially relative relationship terms may be used in the text to describe the relative positional relationship or movement of one element or feature shown in the figure with respect to another element or feature. These relative relationship terms are, for example, "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "beneath", "above", "over", "front", "rear", etc. Such spatially relative relationship terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientations depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a position inversion, attitude change, or motion state change, then these directional indications will change accordingly. For example, an element described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features will then be oriented as "above" or "over" other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can include both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented otherwise (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatially relative relationship descriptors used in the text are interpreted accordingly.

[0054] Figures 1 to 9 A soft light box provided for an embodiment of the present application includes an interface device 20 and a soft light cover 10. The interface device 20 has a light passage cavity 21, and a reflective layer 22 is provided on the cavity wall of the light passage cavity 21; the soft light cover 10 has a soft light cavity; the soft light cover 10 is connected to the interface device 20, and the soft light cavity communicates with the light passage cavity 21.

[0055] It can be understood that the interface device 20 can be docked with an external lamp. When the interface device 20 is docked with the lamp, the light emitted by the lamp passes through the light passage cavity 21; since the reflective layer 22 is provided on the cavity wall of the light passage cavity 21, the light that may be blocked is introduced into the soft light cavity through the reflective layer 22, improving the light mixing effect to enhance the light efficiency. In this embodiment, by providing the reflective layer 22 at the interface device 20 of the soft light box, in this way, when docking different lamps, it can play the role of introducing the light that may be blocked into the soft light cavity, improving the light mixing effect to enhance the light efficiency. That is, there is no need to design an additional structure for improving the reflection efficiency on the lamp.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reflective layer 22 completely covers the inner surface of the light transmission cavity 21. In this embodiment, the reflective layer 22 includes a plurality of reflective portions, and the plurality of reflective portions are sequentially and continuously connected.

[0057] In another embodiment, the reflective layer 22 includes a plurality of reflective portions, and the plurality of reflective portions are arranged at intervals and are arranged around the central axis of the light transmission cavity 21. The structure is simple and convenient for processing and manufacturing.

[0058] In still other embodiments, the reflective layer 22 includes a plurality of reflective portions, and the plurality of reflective portions are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the light transmission cavity 21. The structure is simple and convenient for processing and manufacturing.

[0059] It can be understood that through multiple reflections and light mixing of the plurality of reflective portions, the light that may be blocked is introduced into the soft light cavity, improving the light mixing effect and enhancing the light efficiency.

[0060] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the reflective surface of the reflective layer 22 is one or more of a smooth arc surface, a flat surface or a scale surface. Refer to Figure 10 shows a schematic diagram of a scale surface. Using the scale surface as the reflective surface, there are more reflection angles, which can further improve the light mixing effect. The scale surface is widely used, and a plurality of arrayed scale units are mostly adopted. Each scale unit includes a plurality of reflective planes with different orientations, and its structure is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0061] As Figure 6 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, along the direction from the position close to the soft light cavity to the position far from the soft light cavity, the aperture of the cavity wall of the light transmission cavity 21 gradually decreases. This helps to reflect the light into the soft light cavity, contributing to improving the light output efficiency and the light mixing effect.

[0062] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the interface device 20 includes an interface base 23 and at least two adapter bases 24. The interface base 23 is provided with a light transmission cavity 21; the adapter base 24 is rotatably connected to the interface base 23; one end of the soft light cover 10 is connected to the adapter base 24; wherein, a plurality of adapter bases 24 can be rotated to close together to accommodate the soft light cover 10; or, the adapter base 24 can be rotated to unfold to unfold the soft light cover 10.

[0063] It can be understood that the interface base 23 is used to dock with the lamp. At the same time, it provides an installation base for the adapter base 24. The adapter base 24 is rotatably installed on the interface base 23, and the unfolding and accommodation of the soft light cover 10 can be realized.

[0064] As Figures 3 to 8As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the interface base 23 includes an interface body 231 and a light tube 232. The interface body 231 has an assembly cavity 236. The light tube 232 is disposed within the assembly cavity 236 and defines a light cavity 21. The interface base 23 interfaces with the bayonet flange of the lamp. The light tube 232 corresponds to the light-emitting unit of the lamp and can guide the light emitted by the lamp into the soft light cavity for soft light processing. This design of the interface base 23 reduces its weight and allows the light tube 232 to be designed in different sizes to meet different needs.

[0065] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the interface seat 23 and the adapter seat 24 are detachably connected. In this way, the purpose of conveniently replacing the interface seat 23 or the diffuser 10 can be achieved.

[0067] It can be understood that the purpose of quick disassembly and assembly can be achieved through the above-designed latch 25, the latching portion 233 and the latching block 241.

[0068] like Figure 9 As shown, bosses 251 are provided on both sides of the latch 25, a spring is provided in the latch cavity 234, and both ends of the spring are respectively in contact with the bosses 251 and the cavity wall of the latch cavity 234, and the length direction of the spring extends along the moving direction of the latch 25.

[0069] The latch 25 is provided with a friction portion 253 to increase the friction force when the user pushes the latch 25 and prevent slipping.

[0070] The lock 25 is provided with a limit block 252. When the lock 25 is engaged with the engaging block 241, the limit block 252 engages with the engaging block 241. When the lock 25 is separated from the engaging block 241, the engaging block 241 moves to separate from the limit block 252, and then the engaging block 241 withdraws from the engaging cavity 234 from the avoidance hole 235, completing the separation of the adapter seat 24 and the interface seat 23.

[0071] like Figure 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the number of adapter seats 24 is two, and each adapter seat 24 is locked or unlocked with the interface seat 23 through a latch 25 respectively; the two adapter seats 24 are a first adapter seat 24a and a second adapter seat 24b respectively; both ends of the first adapter seat 24a are provided with first hinge parts 242, and the first hinge parts 242 are rotatably connected with the interface seat 23; the first hinge parts 242 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 243; both ends of the second adapter seat 24b are provided with second hinge parts 244, and the second hinge parts 244 are rotatably connected with the interface seat 23; the second hinge parts 244 are provided with arc-shaped parts 245; wherein, the arc-shaped parts 245 are rotationally fitted in the arc-shaped grooves 243.

[0072] It can be understood that through the cooperation of the first hinge part 242 and the second hinge part 244, the two adapter seats 24 can be ensured to rotate smoothly to the unfolded and folded states.

[0073] As Figure 3 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the soft light cover 10 includes a plurality of wire frames 11 and soft light cloth 12, and the plurality of wire frames 11 are respectively connected to the adapter seat 24 at intervals; the soft light cloth 12 covers the wire frames 11 and is connected with the wire frames 11; and the soft light cloth 12 is connected with the adapter seat 24.

[0074] It can be understood that the wire frames 11 play a supporting role for the soft light cloth 12, and the soft light cloth 12 plays a role of softening light.

[0075] As Figure 4 shown, for the convenience of the assembly of the wire frames 11 and the soft light cloth 12, the adapter seat 24 includes a first connecting part 246 and a second connecting part 247, the first connecting part 246 and the second connecting part 247 are stacked and connected, and one end of the soft light cloth 12 is clamped between the first connecting part 246 and the second connecting part 247.
