Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auto parts, specifically an ambient lighting system that integrates both diffused and direct illumination. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional direct-lighting or spot-lighting ambient lights typically consist of a light source, a light guide, and a support frame. A single light guide is responsible for illuminating a specific area to achieve the ambient lighting effect. It is not possible to achieve both spot-lighting and direct-lighting effects simultaneously using a single light guide. Therefore, to achieve both spot-lighting and direct-lighting effects, traditional ambient lights require two separate ambient light assemblies, resulting in high costs and large space requirements. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ambient lighting system that integrates both passive and direct illumination to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] An ambient lighting system integrating both diffused and direct light emission is disclosed, comprising an ambient light, characterized in that it further comprises a diffused surface decorative element and a direct light decorative element. The ambient light includes a lamp head, a light guide, and a light-transmitting bracket. The light guide is a long strip structure, with its head end connected to the lamp head. The main body of the light guide is mounted on the light-transmitting bracket, which has a diffused optical light-emitting surface structure and a direct light-emitting surface structure. The direct light decorative element has a direct light-emitting area and a light-blocking area. The diffused surface decorative element, the light-transmitting bracket, and the direct light decorative element are connected in cooperation. The light guide emits light to the diffused surface decorative element through the diffused optical light-emitting surface structure, causing the diffused surface decorative element to produce a diffused light emission effect. The light guide emits light to the direct light decorative element through the direct light-emitting surface structure, causing the light to pass through the direct light-emitting area, generating a direct light emission effect.
[0006] Furthermore, the lamp holder includes a lamp base, a circuit board disposed in the lamp base, and a lamp cover connected to the lamp base and covering the circuit board.
[0007] Furthermore, one of the lamp holder and the light-transmitting bracket is provided with a buckle, and the other is provided with a slot for engaging with the buckle.
[0008] Furthermore, the lamp holder has a socket for inserting the head end of the light guide, a locking block is provided on the socket, and the head end of the light guide is provided with a slot for engaging with the locking block.
[0009] Furthermore, a lamp cap is provided at the tail end of the light guide.
[0010] Furthermore, the illuminated optical light-emitting surface structure is located at the bottom of the light guide, and the direct-emitting optical light-emitting surface structure is located at the front of the light guide.
[0011] Furthermore, the illuminated surface decorative component includes an illuminated surface skeleton and a surface covering material laid on the illuminated surface skeleton. The light-transmitting bracket is sandwiched between the upper end of the illuminated surface skeleton and the direct light decorative component. The surface covering material is located below the light guide and the illuminated optical light-emitting surface structure. The light guide emits light to the surface covering material through the illuminated optical light-emitting surface structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the main body of the direct light decorative component is a light-transmitting frame, and the side of the light-transmitting frame facing away from the light guide has a direct light-emitting area and a light-blocking area.
[0013] Furthermore, the direct-light decorative element is provided with a number of grooves at intervals, and there are a number of direct-light emission areas, which are correspondingly arranged on the grooves.
[0014] Furthermore, the light-transmitting bracket has a groove for accommodating the light guide. Several upper limit protrusions and side limit protrusions are also spaced apart on the groove of the light-transmitting bracket. The side limit protrusions abut against the side of the light guide and squeeze the main body of the light guide, so that the light guide is tightly embedded in the groove of the light-transmitting bracket. The position of the upper limit protrusion is higher than the light guide and the side limit protrusions, and it abuts against the upper end of the main body of the light guide to prevent the light guide from falling out.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1) This utility model achieves two different light-emitting effects: spot lighting and direct lighting, which is more effective than traditional ambient lighting in enhancing the atmosphere of vehicle interiors;
[0017] 2) Traditional ambient lights require two ambient light assemblies to achieve two different lighting effects: direct illumination and spot lighting.

The light enters the light guide 20 and undergoes total internal reflection. The light will propagate along the axis of the light guide 20. The light is first guided to the illuminated optical light-emitting surface structure 31 through the optical reflective structure 22. The light is evenly diffused by the milky white light-transmitting bracket 30 and then guided to the illuminated surface decorative part 50 to achieve the illuminated ambient light effect. Afterwards, part of the light that is totally reflected inside the light guide 20 will be directly guided to the direct light-emitting optical light-emitting surface structure 32 along the circumference of the light guide 20. The light is evenly diffused by the milky white light-transmitting bracket 30 and then guided to the direct light decorative part 60. The direct light emission area 63 achieves the direct light ambient light effect.
