Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of engineering, in particular to landscape lighting technology. Background Art
[0002] Landscape lighting is a technology used to beautify urban or natural environments at night, offering the dual benefits of beautifying the environment and enhancing public safety. Used in commercial settings, landscape lighting can attract consumers, while used in landscape settings, it can attract tourists, playing a crucial role in promoting commercial prosperity and tourism development. Landscape lighting also conveys social culture and values to a certain extent. In specific occasions or times, specific lighting can convey relevant cultural themes or create a festive atmosphere.
[0003] Landscape lighting involves specific structures such as landscape bridges, buildings, and streets, as well as non-structural materials such as trees and landscape water. Among them, the landscape lighting projects of many squares and parks involve the lighting of large steps in public places.
[0004] The large steps include horizontal parts and vertical parts that are alternately arranged. In the existing lighting technology for large steps in public places, LED light strips are arranged on the horizontal parts or the vertical parts of the large steps.
[0005] The light strips are set on the horizontal part of the large steps, which will cause a large amount of light to shine upwards. When pedestrians walk up and down the large steps, glare is easily generated, and they cannot see the surface of the steps clearly, which creates an unsafe factor.
[0006] The light strips are set on the vertical part of the large steps. Compared with those set on the horizontal part of the large steps, more light shines into the distance and less light shines upward. This not only creates a better visual effect of the large steps from a distance, but also reduces glare for pedestrians walking on the large steps.
[0007] Direct light exposure to the human eye can easily cause glare; since pedestrians can still directly see the light emitted from the vertical part of the large steps when looking down, glare cannot be avoided. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a landscape lighting anti-glare step structure, which avoids light directly irradiating human eyes, thereby beautifying the large steps while preventing glare.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a landscape lighting and anti-glare step structure, the steps include alternating horizontal and vertical parts, a light box is embedded in the vertical part of the step, and an LED light strip is provided in the light box that extends along the width direction of the step. The direction faced by pedestrians when walking down the steps from top to bottom is considered to be the forward direction, and the front side wall of the light box is frosted glass for scattering light.
[0010] A translucent reflective layer is provided on the lower part of the inner surface of the frosted glass. The translucent reflective layer is a translucent reflective film or a translucent reflective coating.
[0011] The utility model has the following advantages:
[0012] Since the front side wall of the light box is frosted glass, it has the effect of transmitting light but not being transparent. Therefore, it can not only illuminate the steps, but also prevent the light from directly entering the eyes of pedestrians when going up and down the steps, greatly reducing the chance of glare and visual discomfort when pedestrians walk. It not only plays the role of lighting and beautifying the steps, but also improves public safety.
[0013] When pedestrians walk up the steps, the lower portion of the frosted glass creates a larger visual area for them, so relatively more light scattered from the lower portion of the frosted glass enters their eyes. In this utility model, a translucent reflective layer is provided on the lower portion of the inner surface of the frosted glass, which transmits some light, thereby preventing a dark area from forming below the vertical portion of the steps. Meanwhile, another portion of the light is reflected back to the light box, ultimately being scattered out from the upper middle portion of the light box. This reduces the amount of scattered light entering pedestrians' eyes, further reducing the likelihood of glare. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0014] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the present utility model. Figure 1 The circle above the middle step indicates the position of the pedestrian's eyes when looking down. The actual position of the human eye is different from the Figure 1 The circle in the figure is much higher, and the human eye position is lowered to fit in the same image. The dotted line connecting the circles clearly shows that the lower part of the frosted glass forms a larger visual area for pedestrians. If the circle is moved up to the height where the pedestrians' eyes should be, Figure 1 The phenomenon of the lower part of the frosted glass forming a larger visual area will be more obvious. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a landscape lighting anti-glare step structure, the step includes a horizontal part 1 and a vertical part 2 arranged alternately, a light box 3 is embedded in the vertical part 2 of the step, and an LED light strip 4 extending along the width direction of the step is provided in the light box 3. The direction faced by pedestrians when walking down the steps from top to bottom is regarded as the forward direction, and the front side wall 5 of the light box 3 is frosted glass for scattering light.
[0016] Since the front side wall 5 of the light box 3 is frosted glass, it has the effect of being light-transmissive but not see-through. Therefore, it can not only illuminate the steps, but also prevent the light from directly entering the eyes of pedestrians when going up and down the steps, greatly reducing the chance of glare and visual discomfort when pedestrians walk. It not only plays the role of lighting and beautifying the steps, but also improves public safety.
[0017] A translucent reflective layer 6 is provided on the lower portion of the inner surface of the frosted glass. The translucent reflective layer 6 is a translucent reflective film or a translucent reflective coating. When a translucent reflective coating is used, a metal oxide coating (such as an aluminum oxide coating), a thin silver coating, or an optical coating (such as a reflective neutral gray coating) can be used.
[0018] When pedestrians walk up the steps and look down, the lower portion of the frosted glass creates a larger visual area for them, resulting in a relatively greater amount of light scattered from the lower portion entering their eyes. In the present invention, a translucent reflective layer 6 is provided on the lower portion of the inner surface of the frosted glass. This layer transmits some light, preventing a dark area from forming below the vertical portion 2 of the step, while reflecting another portion back toward the light box 3, which is ultimately scattered out from the upper middle portion of the light box 3. This reduces the amount of scattered light entering the pedestrian's eyes, further reducing the likelihood of glare.
[0019] The present invention is suitable for use in lighting projects in public places such as squares, stations, and parks. The light box 3 can be pre-customized according to the size of the large steps and then directly embedded in the location of the vertical portion 2 of the large steps during construction. When the large steps are backed by casting materials (such as cement or concrete), the prefabricated light box 3 can be used as a casting template. During construction, the light box 3 is supported as a casting template and then used as a lighting structure for lighting the steps after construction. This saves the cost of casting the construction template and eliminates the need to remove the front template after casting, thereby improving construction efficiency.
[0020] When pedestrians descend the stairs from the top, they do not directly see the front sidewall 5 (frosted glass) of the light box 3, thus preventing glare. When pedestrians ascend the stairs from the bottom, the light emitted by the LED light strip 4 does not enter the eye directly, but is instead scattered by the frosted glass before being seen, thus reducing the likelihood of glare. Combined with the translucent reflective layer 6, the amount of light entering the eye from the lower portion of the frosted glass, where the visual area is the largest, is reduced. Therefore, the present invention substantially eliminates glare when pedestrians traverse the stairs, improving public safety.
[0021] The light emitted by the LED light strip 4 can illuminate the horizontal part 1 of the step well after being scattered by the frosted glass. The frosted glass itself has a high brightness, so when viewed from a distance, the entire step is well illuminated, forming a good lighting effect when viewed from a distance at night, and it is difficult to cause glare when approaching, which makes the utility model have good promotion and application value.
[0022] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate rather than limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents. Any modification or partial replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
