[0037] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: by setting the lens part as a semi-truncated cone and setting the light-transmitting groove in the mounting part, when the lens is placed on the light source, the illumination direction of the light source and the light-emitting surface of the lens are not in the same direction. The lens can deflect most of the energy light emitted by the light source, so that the direction of most of the light energy deviates from the direction of the light source surface, thereby realizing indirect polarized illumination and solving the problems of uneven light emission and obvious glare.

[0038] Furthermore, it also includes a light-collecting part; the light-collecting part is disposed on the mounting part and is disposed on the side away from the semi-circular side.

[0039] As can be seen from the above description, by setting a light-collecting part at the other end of the luminous surface on the semi-circular side, it is possible to collect the scattered light emitted in the opposite direction, preventing excess light from being scattered out from the opposite end of the luminous surface and affecting the light output effect.

The following is a detailed description of the specific implementation methods:

[0057] Example 1

[0058] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3A lens 1 includes a mounting portion 11 and a lens portion 12. The lens portion 12 is a semi-frustum-like structure, comprising a semi-circular side and a trapezoidal side, with the semi-circular side serving as the light-emitting surface. The lens 1 employs a total internal reflection design, and the lens portion 12 has a non-centrally symmetrical structure. The lens portion 12 is mounted on the mounting portion 11, with the trapezoidal side connected to the mounting portion 11. The mounting portion 11 has a light-transmitting groove 13, which communicates with the interior of the lens portion 12. The light-transmitting groove 13 is used to accommodate a light source 41. Simultaneously, the mounting portion 11 also has a light-collecting portion 14, located away from the semi-circular side, i.e., on the backlight surface of the lens portion 12. This light-collecting portion is primarily used to collect stray light from the rear end, preventing excess light from scattering away from the backlight surface. In order to facilitate the installation of lens 1, a buckle 15 is provided on the side of the mounting part 11 away from lens part 12; the buckle 15 is used to connect with the slot 42 of the peripheral device; for example, the slot 42 is provided on the structure such as the light source board or heat sink, and the lens 1 is mounted on the structure such as the light source board or heat sink by the cooperation of the slot 42 and the buckle 15.

[0059] The optical principle of lens 1 is as follows:

[0060] Among them, lens 1 performs light distribution processing on the light rays from the reflecting surface and the refracting surface based on the principle of total internal reflection, so that the light rays are polarized and emitted to form the energy distribution required for illumination.

[0061] After connecting lens 1 to the light source board, the light source is placed within the light-transmitting groove, and the direction of illumination from the light source is not in the same direction as the emitting surface of lens 1. When the light source illuminates, lens 1 deflects most of the energy emitted by the light source through total internal reflection. This causes most of the light energy after total internal reflection to deviate from the direction of the light source surface and be emitted towards the emitting surface of lens 1, changing the light distribution angle of the light emitted by the light source. This achieves indirect polarized illumination through total internal reflection, solving the problems of illumination distance and glare. Simultaneously, the angle of the emitting surface of lens 1 also limits the angle of the light. The angle of the emitting surface of lens 1 can be adjusted according to different application scenarios to meet the application requirements of different scenarios, providing strong controllability of the illumination direction and improving light utilization. For example, the above lens 1 structure can evenly illuminate the road surface, solving the glare problem for pedestrians and drivers.

One side serves as the light-emitting surface for setting the light-transmitting plate 3. After the light-transmitting plate 3 is set on the light-emitting surface of the housing 2, a closed cavity is formed inside the housing 2 for setting the first light source plate 4. The two ends of the housing 2 in the first direction are provided with detachable end caps 5.

In other optional embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 3 can also be disposed on the housing 2 by adhesive bonding, or connected to the housing 2 by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0065] The housing 2 has an installation channel 21 on its inner wall in a first direction. A first light source plate 4 is disposed within and engaged with the installation channel 21.

Figure 8 As shown, the light source 41 is arranged in a 2×2 array; similarly, the lens 1 is also arranged in a 2×2 array; that is, the lens 1 can be arranged in single, two-in-one, four-in-one or linear and rectangular manner, and can be combined with different heat sinks to meet different installation conditions and lighting requirements.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 5 as well as Figure 9The housing 2 also contains a second light source plate 6; the second light source plate 6 is located on the side of the housing 2 opposite to the first light source plate 4; the light-emitting surface of the second light source plate 6 faces the light-transmitting plate 3; wherein, in some optional embodiments, the light-emitting surface of the second light source plate 6 is parallel to the light-transmitting plate 3. Figure 5 The floodlight has two light sources: one is the first light source plate 4, which is structurally combined with the lens 1 and set in the upper part of the housing 2 to form the main polarized illumination energy; the other is the second light source plate 6, which is set in the lower part of the housing 2 and works with the light-transmitting plate 3 to emit light, playing a supplementary lighting role. It is mainly used to enhance the illumination energy of the upper edge to improve the uniformity of the entire illumination surface.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 On one side of the housing 2 where the light-transmitting plate 3 is located, a baffle 7 is also provided, and the baffle 7 and the light-transmitting plate 3 form an angle; the angle between the baffle 7 and the light-transmitting plate 3 can be adjusted according to the actual lighting requirements. By using the baffle 7 and the light-transmitting plate 3 together, and placing the light source 41 inside the housing 2, glare can be better controlled without affecting optical efficiency, and the light spot effect can be guaranteed.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 10 The outer side of the housing 2 is also provided with a mounting bracket 8 and a power supply 9; wherein, the outer side of the housing 2 is provided with a sliding groove 22; the mounting bracket 8 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 22; by placing the mounting bracket 8 behind the housing 2 and cooperating with the sliding groove 22, the distance of the housing 2 can be adjusted arbitrarily to fix it.
