[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2 An optical system includes a refractive unit 1, a reflecting unit 2 and a light diffusion unit 3, the refractive unit 1 includes a light inlet unit and a light outlet unit.

[0030] Reference Figures 2 to 4, the driving direction is defined as X direction, in the vertical plane perpendicular to X direction, the profile of the refractive unit 1 has a first focus F, the profile of the refractive unit 1 can be plano-convex, convex-plano, bi-convex, condenser or Fresnel lens. In the vertical plane parallel to X direction, the profile of the refractive unit 1 contains concentric arcs, i.e. the profile of the refractive unit 1 can be formed by rotating the profile along the horizontal axis through the focus F. When there are multiple refractive units 1, the refractive units 1 are arranged along the profile of the reflective unit 2 in the horizontal plane.

[0031] In the vertical plane parallel to X direction, the profile of the reflective unit 2 contains a parabolic segment, the second focus of the parabolic segment coincides with the first focus F of the refractive unit 1. The profile of the reflective unit 2 in the horizontal plane is a straight line or a curve, the reflective unit 2 can be formed by stretching the profile or sweeping along the curve in the horizontal plane. It is particularly noted that the stretching direction of the reflective unit 2 can be deviated from the horizontal direction by a certain angle, i.e. the light-out direction of the reflective unit 2 can be deviated from the X axis by a certain angle.

[0032] The refractive unit 1 and the reflective unit 2 are arranged along the light-out direction of the refractive unit 1, the reflective unit 2 and the light diffusion unit 3 are arranged along the light-out direction of the reflective unit 2. The light diffusion unit 3 has the function of diffusing the light from the reflective unit 2 in at least one direction. When applied to the optical system of the headlamp, such as corner lamp, fog lamp, low beam auxiliary function, the diffusion function of the light diffusion unit 3 is mainly the diffusion in the horizontal direction, the light diffusion unit 3 can be provided with vertical stripes to have the horizontal diffusion function, the light diffusion unit 3 can also be a grating film with vertical stripes, the grating film can be a soft film or a hard film. When applied to the signal lamp, the diffusion function of the light diffusion unit 3 has at least one direction of diffusion, the stripes can be vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, corn patterns, etc.

[0033] The surface of the reflective unit can be provided with patterns arranged along the profiles in different planes. The patterns can be vertical patterns arranged along the profile in the horizontal direction, at this time, the reflective unit has the diffusion function in the horizontal direction; in addition, the patterns can also be similar to square, at this time the reflective unit has the light diffusion function in each direction.

[0034] In the vertical plane perpendicular to the X direction, the light rays emitted from the first focal point F or nearby pass through the refractive unit 1 and are emitted in parallel or approximately parallel to each other, and in the same size, the brightness is almost the same; in the vertical plane parallel to the X direction, the light rays emitted from the first focal point F pass through the refractive unit 1 almost without changing the propagation direction, and after reaching the reflecting unit 2, in the same equal size, the brightness of the emitted light is almost the same. Therefore, the system can realize uniform lighting in the vertical and horizontal directions, and finally further improve the uniformity of the lighting through the light diffusion unit 3, thereby realizing large-angle projection and uniform illumination.

[0035] It should be noted that at least one refractive unit 1, at least one reflecting unit 2 and at least one light diffusion unit 3 are provided, and at least one refractive unit 1 corresponds to one reflecting unit 2.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] The difference from embodiment 1 is that the optical system can be composed of reflecting units 2 with different focal points and different focal lengths, and each reflecting unit 2 corresponds to a refractive unit 1 with the same focal point position, but the focal lengths of different refractive units 1 corresponding to the same reflecting unit 2 can be different.

[0038] Embodiment 3:

[0039] The difference from embodiment 1 is that, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the refractive unit 1 and the reflecting unit 2 can be integrally formed, that is, the cross section of the refractive unit 1 in the vertical plane parallel to the X direction contains concentric circular arcs, and the profile in the vertical plane perpendicular to the X direction still has the first focal point F.

[0040] When the refractive unit 1 and the reflecting unit 2 are integrally transparent, the reflecting unit 2 can have reflectivity through internal total reflection or a reflective film on the outer surface.

[0041] In addition, the light diffusion unit 3 can also be integrally formed with the reflecting unit 2 and the refractive unit 1; or the light diffusion unit 3 is an independent piece, and a refractive light emitting surface is additionally provided in the light emitting direction of the reflecting unit 2, which is integrally formed with the reflecting unit 2 and the refractive unit 1.

[0042] It should be noted that in the vertical plane perpendicular to the X direction, in addition to the collimation of the light emitted from the first focal point F, the refractive unit 1 can also make the received light have a certain diffusion function, and after passing through the refractive unit 1, the light rays are at a certain angle (the angle is designed according to the functional requirements).

[0044] A vehicle comprising the vehicle lamp described above.

[0045] With the above ideal embodiment according to the present application as the inspiration, through the above description, relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical idea of the present application. The technical scope of the present application is not limited to the content in the specification, and the technical scope must be determined according to the scope of claims.
