Detailed Implementation
[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0034] This utility model relates to a biomimetic ambient light, including a housing 100, a rotating component 200, a driving mechanism 300, and a first light source component 400.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the housing 100 can be mounted on a bracket. Rotating components 200, a drive mechanism 300, and a first light source 400 are all mounted on the housing 100. The rotating components 200 are made of a light-transmitting material, such as transparent plastic, acrylic, or transparent silicone. Multiple rotating components 200 are mounted on the housing 100, and each rotating component 200 can rotate relative to the housing 100. The drive mechanism 300 is connected to each rotating component 200, driving each rotating component 200 to rotate. The first light source 400 illuminates at least a portion of the rotating components 200; it can illuminate one, two, or more rotating components 200, or it can illuminate all rotating components 200. The first light source 400 can illuminate the rotating components 200 directly, or it can illuminate them indirectly through other intermediate components such as lenses. Light passes through the rotating components 200 and is projected outwards. When light passes through the rotating component 200, the component 200 can emit light either entirely or partially. The shape of the rotating component 200 can be designed to mimic the tentacles of a jellyfish or the tentacles of an octopus, and the shell 100 is also designed to resemble the body of a jellyfish or octopus. In use, the drive mechanism 300 and the first light source 400 are activated, and each rotating component 200 rotates under the drive mechanism 300 and emits light under the illumination of the first light source 400. When the biomimetic ambient light is working, it mimics the movement of biomimetic creatures such as jellyfish and octopuses, while the rotating components 200 emit light, creating an atmospheric effect that is remarkably vivid and realistic.
[0036] The drive mechanism 300 and the rotating component 200 can be transmitted through a rack, pinion, chain, or other means. In one embodiment, the drive mechanism 300 includes a motor 310 and a drive gear 320. The motor 310 and the drive gear 320 are connected, either by the drive shaft of the motor 310 directly connecting to the drive gear 320, or by the drive shaft of the motor 310 meshing with the drive gear 320 via an intermediate gear. The motor 310 starts and drives the drive gear 320 to rotate. The rotating component 200 is provided with a driven gear 210, which can be integrally formed on the rotating component 200 or installed as an independent component on the rotating component 200. Each rotating component 200 is driven by the driven gear 210 meshing with the drive gear 320, thereby causing each rotating component 200 to rotate synchronously.
[0037] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the drive gear 320 includes a first gear body 321 and a second gear body 322 coaxially arranged. The first gear body 321 and the second gear body 322 are integrally formed, and both are gears. The outer diameter of the first gear body 321 is larger than the outer diameter of the second gear body 322. A portion of the rotating parts 200 are distributed circumferentially along the first gear body 321, and the corresponding driven gears 210 on these rotating parts 200 mesh with the first gear body 321 for transmission. The remaining rotating parts 200 are distributed circumferentially along the second gear body 322, and the corresponding driven gears 210 on these rotating parts 200 mesh with the second gear body 322 for transmission. The rotating parts 200 meshing with the first gear body 321 are located on the outer layer of the rotating parts 200 meshing with the second gear body 322. In the illustrated direction, the axial direction of the drive gear 320 is vertical, and the first gear body 321 and the second gear body 322 are distributed vertically. Because the outer diameters of the first wheel body 321 and the second wheel body 322 are different, the rotation speeds of the rotating component 200 meshing with the first wheel body 321 and the rotating component 200 meshing with the second wheel body 322 will differ, thus making the dynamic effect of the bionic ambient light more vivid.
[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, the first light source 400 includes a plurality of first lamp beads 410. The drive gear 320 is made of light-transmitting plastic. Rotating members 200 that mesh with the second wheel 322 and each of the first lamp beads 410 are aligned one-to-one with the first wheel 321. In this embodiment, six rotating members 200 mesh with the second wheel 322, and at least six first lamp beads 410 are provided on the first light source 400. The first lamp beads 410 are integrated on the circuit board of the first light source 400. The first lamp beads 410, the first wheel 321, and the six rotating members 200 meshing with the second wheel 322 are arranged vertically in sequence. A first lamp bead 410 is positioned directly above the upper end of each rotating member 200. The light generated by the first lamp bead 410 after activation passes through the first wheel 321 and illuminates the upper end of the rotating member 200 aligned with it, thereby causing the corresponding rotating member 200 to emit light. When light passes through the first wheel 321, the first wheel 321 will rotate, which will cause the light emitted by the first lamp bead 410 to undergo a certain dynamic change, ultimately making the rotating part 200 of the beverage emit light with a certain dynamic change effect.
[0039] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the housing 100 is provided with a plurality of hollow first support columns 110. The first support columns 110 extend upward parallel to the axial direction of the drive gear 320. The first support columns 110 are located below the first wheel body 321. The outer diameter of the first support column 110 is smaller than the outer diameter of the driven gear 210. Rotating members 200 that mesh with the second wheel body 322 pass through the first support columns 110, and the driven gears 210 corresponding to these rotating members 200 are located between the first wheel body 321 and the first support column 110. The driven gears 210 are disposed at the upper end of the rotating members 200. The lower side of the driven gears 210 of these rotating members 200 is supported by the upper end of the first support column 110. The upper side of these driven gears 210 is located below the first wheel body 321, so that these driven gears 210 are axially limited between the first wheel body 321 and the first support column 110, thereby limiting the axial position of the rotating members 200 that mesh with the second wheel body 322.
[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the first light source 400 includes a plurality of second lamp beads 420. Each second lamp bead 420 is aligned with and illuminates the ends of at least a portion of the rotating members 200. The number of second lamp beads 420 is not limited. In this embodiment, six second lamp beads 420 are provided on the first light source 400. The six rotating members 200 are aligned with the first lamp beads 410. Specifically, the second lamp beads 420 are aligned with the six rotating members 200 that mesh with the first wheel body 321. The second lamp beads 420 are located above these rotating members 200, and the light emitted by the second lamp beads 420 directly illuminates the rotating members 200 downwards, causing these rotating members 200 to emit light.
[0041] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a support plate 500 is installed in the housing 100. The support plate 500 has multiple hollow focusing tubes 510. In this embodiment, the number of focusing tubes 510 and the number of second lamp beads 420 are the same, for example, six in each case. The second lamp beads 420 are aligned with the focusing tubes 510 one-to-one, with the second lamp beads 420 extending into the focusing tubes 510. The ends of the six rotating members 200 are aligned with the focusing tubes 510 one-to-one; the upper ends of these six rotating members 200 can extend into the focusing tubes 510 or be located below them. When the second lamp beads 420 emit light, the focusing tubes 510 have a focusing and guiding effect on the light from the second lamp beads 420, thereby ensuring that the corresponding rotating members 200 emit sufficient light after being illuminated. Compared to the effect of the first LED 410 shining through the first wheel 321 onto the corresponding rotating component 200, the rotating component 200 directly illuminated by the first LED 410 is brighter, thus creating a brightness difference between the inner and outer rotating components 200.
[0042] Based on the above embodiment, the housing 100 is provided with a plurality of hollow second support columns 120. The second support columns 120 extend upward parallel to the axial direction of the drive gear 320. The outer diameter of the second support column 120 is smaller than the outer diameter of the driven gear 210, and the outer diameter of the focusing tube 510 is smaller than the outer diameter of the driven gear 210. A portion of the rotating parts 200 pass through the second support column 120, that is, the rotating parts 200 that mesh with the first wheel body 321 pass through the second support column 120. The lower side of the driven gear 210 corresponding to these rotating parts 200 is supported on the second support column 120, and the upper side of the driven gear 210 is located below the focusing tube 510, so that the driven gear 210 is axially limited between the focusing tube 510 and the second support column 120, thereby defining the axial position of the rotating parts 200 that mesh with the first wheel body 321.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, a second light source 610, a lampshade 620, and a diffuser 630 are also installed on the housing 100. The diffuser 630 is located between the second light source 610 and the lampshade 620. A drive mechanism 300 is connected to the diffuser 630, and the drive mechanism 300 and the diffuser 630 can be driven by gears. The drive mechanism 300 can drive the diffuser 630 and the rotating component 200 to rotate synchronously. The second light source 610 integrates LED beads. The second light source 610 illuminates the diffuser 630, and the diffuser 630 diffuses the light while rotating, projecting it outward through the lampshade 620 to form a second atmospheric effect, further enhancing the atmospheric effect of the bionic ambient light. The lampshade 620 and the rotating component 200 are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the housing 100. The second light source 610 illuminates upward through the diffuser 630 and the lampshade 620, while the first light source 400 illuminates downward through the rotating component 200.
