The light input surface of the light guide unit II is provided with a second light focusing structure 41, and the second light focusing structure 41 corresponds one-to-one to the first light focusing structure 31.

[0044] The front thick-walled member 100 and the rear thick-walled member 200 are both tilted, so that the LED can face the concentrator directly, thereby reducing light loss and greatly improving light efficiency.

[0045] The front thick-walled part 100 and the rear thick-walled part 200 can be produced in a pair of molds.

[0046] The first total reflection surface 21 forms an angle of 40 to 50 degrees with the incident light, and the second total reflection surface 22 forms an angle of 85 to 95 degrees with the first total reflection surface 21 .

[0047] The second total reflection surface 22 and the third total reflection surface 23 are arranged in parallel and the third total reflection surface 23 is located directly above the second total reflection surface 22 . The eighth total reflection surface 28 and the ninth total reflection surface 29 are located on the same plane and this plane is arranged parallel to the third total reflection surface 23 .

The large protrusion and the small protrusion are of the same height. This design can ensure that the light emitted by the LED has the same optical path in the front and rear directions. In other words, the light emitted by the LED undergoes total reflection in the front direction and total reflection in the rear direction respectively, and reaches the first light-emitting surface 3 at the same time, with good uniformity, and will not cause problems of bright and dark light.

[0052] The second light emitting surface 6 is provided with a corn kernel light distribution pattern.

[0053] A vehicle lamp comprises the aforementioned LED extremely narrow light output, inclined light output, large spacing and thick wall component.

[0054] The first light incident portion 1 is a collimated light focusing structure, and the LED light source is not limited to a color, and can be a single color red, white, yellow, or a combination of two of these colors, etc. The thick-walled member of the present invention can be made of transparent materials such as PMMA or PC.

[0055] Figure 8 This is the light path diagram of the vertical direction of the LED with extremely narrow light output and large spacing and thick wall parts in this utility model. Figure 9 is the horizontal light path diagram, Figure 10 This is the optical path diagram viewed from the side.

[0056] Depend on Figures 8 to 10 It can be seen that the focus of the first light incident part 1 is located on the central axis of the U-shaped groove, that is, the light emitted by the first light incident part 1 can be evenly divided into front light and rear light, and the first total reflection part 2 can be used to bend and reflect the front light and the rear light of the light emitted by the first light incident part 1 respectively.

[0057] The bending and reflection of the front light is achieved by the following structure: the front light emitted from the first light incident portion 1 is totally reflected three times by the first total reflection surface 21, the second total reflection surface 22 and the third total reflection surface 23 in sequence and then emitted in parallel.

[0058] The bending and reflection of the rear light is divided into left and right bending and reflection. The small protrusion on the left bends the light to the left, and the small protrusion on the right bends the light to the right. Specifically, the left light passes through the sixth total reflection surface 26, the seventh total reflection surface 27, and the ninth total reflection surface 29 three times in sequence and then emits in parallel; the right light passes through the fifth total reflection surface 25, the fourth total reflection surface 24, and the eighth total reflection surface 28 three times in sequence and then emits in parallel. The total reflection system has the same number of total reflections of three for all light rays, ensuring that all light paths are the same, making the emitted light more uniform. Light rays bent in different directions are ultimately emitted from the same first light-emitting surface 3.

[0059] In this embodiment, each light-guiding unit I is provided with four first light-focusing structures 31. The first light-focusing structures 31 focus the parallel light rays after being bent in different directions on the focal point O to form a bright light spot. Each light-guiding unit I forms four bright light spots. The light from the focal point O passes through the second light-focusing structure 41 and enters the second light-entering portion 4. The second light-focusing structure 41 will focus the vertical light to the focal point. After focusing on the focal point, it will be refracted to the upper and lower inclined side walls of the second total reflection portion 5 for total reflection. At the same time, the second light-focusing structure 41 will diffuse the horizontal light and disperse it to the left and right inclined side walls of the second total reflection portion 5 for reflection. The second light-focusing structure 41 and the second total reflection portion 5 work together to improve the uniformity of lighting, and can also make the angle of the emitted light relatively concentrated, thereby improving the energy utilization rate of the light source, while taking into account the extremely narrow light-emitting effect of the second light-emitting surface 6.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that 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 above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
