Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of venetian blind technology, specifically to a venetian blind that integrates LED lighting and light adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available Venetian blinds, when the slats are fully closed, allow almost no light to enter the room; when the slats are open, light can enter almost completely. Their light adjustment range is very wide, from completely dark to fully transparent, but the light can only be adjusted by the opening angle of the blinds, making their function very limited.

[0003] In related technologies, lamps can be equipped on blinds to provide supplemental lighting when it is dark. A search revealed a solution for a blind with lighting function (publication number CN215255868U), which includes a window frame and slats. The slats are evenly distributed on the inner side of the window frame, and a light groove is formed in the center of the front of each slat. Several LED beads are evenly distributed within the light groove. When the window is closed at night, the LED beads on the side of the slat facing the interior light up, providing illumination to the room.

[0004] However, while the above solutions can provide supplemental lighting for blinds, the dimming function of blinds is limited to adjusting the angle of light entering the room. They cannot adjust the brightness of the light. When the sunlight is strong, they can only control the amount of sunlight entering the room. Moreover, the larger the blinds are closed, the worse the indoor light becomes. In this case, supplemental lighting can only be provided by LED lights, which is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide a venetian blind that integrates LED lighting and light adjustment.

[0006] A venetian blind integrating LED lighting and light control, comprising:

[0007] The louver assembly includes a window frame and several sets of LED strips installed inside the window frame. The LED strips are rotatably installed inside the window frame via a connecting structure, and each LED strip integrates a light strip.

[0008] The controller is located inside the window frame and is electrically connected to the light strips inside each LED panel via a circuit to control the opening and closing and brightness of the light strips.

[0009] The LED strip has a bottom surface, a top surface, and a side surface. The bottom surface is a light-diffusing surface made of a semi-transparent material, and the top surface is an opaque light-shielding surface.

[0010] When the LED strips rotate to the closed state, the top and side surfaces of adjacent LED strips adhere to each other to form a continuous light-shielding layer, while the bottom surface forms a semi-transparent layer facing the interior, allowing external light to diffuse into the interior through the bottom surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the connection structure is a fence installed inside the window frame, and the two ends of the LED strip are rotatably connected to the fence through a pivot structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the LED strip has an end cap shell at its end, and the horizontal wall surface of the end cap shell extends to form a cylinder, which is inserted into the corresponding hole of the fence to form a pivot.

[0013] Furthermore, the end cap housing is also provided with an extended shoulder and a vertical wall, with slits on the surface of the vertical wall for threading wires.

[0014] Furthermore, a power supply socket is installed on the fence, which is electrically connected to the controller for connecting to an external power source.

[0015] Furthermore, the controller is a printed circuit board that integrates a capacitive touch switch, a wireless receiver, and an LED driver circuit. The LED driver circuit connects each light strip through LED wiring. The wireless receiver can communicate wirelessly with a remote wireless transmitter, thereby enabling remote control of the light strip operation by a mobile terminal.

[0016] Furthermore, the LED strip is equipped with a light guide plate inside to evenly diffuse the light emitted by the LED strip.

[0017] Furthermore, the LED strips are arranged horizontally or vertically within the window frame.

[0018] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0019] (1) Functional integration and light optimization: This application integrates sunshade, privacy protection, light adjustment and lighting functions into one. When the LED strip is closed, the outer opaque surface effectively shades and protects privacy; the inner semi-transparent bottom surface allows light to enter and reduces brightness when the light is strong, thus achieving light adjustment. The semi-transparent bottom surface can also act as a light diffusion lens, making the indoor light softer and more uniform, which is superior to traditional blinds.

[0020] (2) Intelligent and convenient control: The controller of this application is equipped with a capacitive touch switch, which allows users to touch and control the LED strip to turn on and off simply by approaching it, making operation simple. It also supports wireless communication and can be connected to a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth transmitter to achieve remote control via mobile terminal, solving the problems of cumbersome manual operation and inability to be remotely controlled in traditional venetian blinds.

[0021] (3) High-efficiency lighting effect: The LED strip has built-in light strips that can actively emit light. The internal light guide plate diffuses the light evenly and projects it into the room through the semi-transparent bottom surface, simulating the effect of sunlight shining on the blinds. The lighting is uniform and natural, making up for the shortcomings of traditional blinds that cannot actively emit light, and is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0030] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Reference Appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 The venetian blind with integrated LED lighting and light adjustment provided in this application has the following specific structure and working principle. The venetian blind assembly 100 mainly includes the main structure of the venetian blind and supporting components such as the controller.

[0032] First, the venetian blind assembly 100 includes a window frame 114 and several sets of LED strips 112 disposed within the window frame 114. These LED strips 112 are rotatably mounted within the window frame 114 via a specific connection structure, and each LED strip 112 integrates a light strip, which enables the LED strip 112 to emit light. It is worth noting that the outer shell of the LED strip 112 can be made of many different materials, such as wood, metal, or plastic. However, after comprehensively considering various factors, the preferred embodiment will use extruded plastic strips, because extruded plastic strips offer a better balance in terms of cost, processing difficulty, and performance.

[0033] The bottom surface 104 and top surface 106 of the LED strip 112 have a unique design. An opaque material covers a larger surface area than the semi-transparent area. This ingenious design allows light to remain hidden from the emitting portion while ensuring perfectly uniform light distribution from each LED strip 112. Specifically, the LED strip 112 has a bottom surface 104, a top surface 106, and side surfaces 108. The bottom surface 104 is a light-diffusing surface made of semi-transparent material, while the top surface 106 is an opaque light-shielding surface. When the LED strip 112 is rotated to the closed state, the top surfaces 106 and side surfaces 108 of adjacent LED strips 112 fit together, forming a continuous light-shielding layer that effectively blocks external light from directly entering the room. Meanwhile, the bottom surface 104 forms a semi-transparent layer facing inwards, allowing external light to diffuse into the room through the bottom surface 104, providing soft lighting.

[0034] In one embodiment, the connecting structure is a fence 126 disposed within the window frame 114. The two ends of the LED strip 112 are rotatably connected to the fence 126 via a pivot structure. This connection method is simple and reliable, ensuring that the LED strip 112 can rotate smoothly within the window frame 114, thereby achieving adjustment of its angle.

[0035] Further, see attached document. Figure 3 In one embodiment, the LED strip 112 has an end cap housing 128 at its end. The horizontal wall 132 surface of the end cap housing 128 extends to form a cylinder 136, which is inserted into a corresponding hole in the fence 126, thereby forming a pivot. With this design, the LED strip 112 can rotate around the cylinder 136 as an axis, achieving flexible adjustment of the angle.

[0036] In one embodiment, the end cap housing 128 also includes an extended shoulder 140 and a vertical wall 142. A slit 134 is formed on the surface of the vertical wall 142 for threading wires to power the LED strips inside the LED strip 112. Furthermore, the end cap housing 128, the horizontal wall 132, and the vertical wall 142 are manufactured using a one-piece molding process and are made of plastic. This one-piece molding design and the choice of plastic material significantly improve the structural strength of the end cap housing 128, making it less prone to damage during use and extending the product's lifespan.

[0037] In terms of power supply, in one embodiment, a power supply socket 120 is installed on the grille 126. The power supply socket 120 is electrically connected to the controller 116 and its function is to connect to an external power source to provide power support for the entire louver assembly 100. It is worth mentioning that the power supply socket 120 is connected to the power supply in a plug-in manner. This connection method is convenient and quick, and users can easily perform plug-and-unplug operations, improving the convenience of use.

[0038] The controller 116, as the core control component of the veil assembly 100, is, in one embodiment, a printed circuit board. This printed circuit board integrates a capacitive touch switch 118, a wireless receiver 124, and an LED driver circuit. The LED driver circuit connects to each LED strip via LED wiring 130, enabling power supply and control of the LED strips. The wireless receiver 124 can wirelessly communicate with a remote wireless transmitter 127. With this function, users can send commands via a mobile terminal to remotely control the operation of the LED strips, greatly improving ease of use and intelligence.

[0039] To make the light emitted by the LED strip 112 more uniform, in one embodiment, a light guide plate 144 is provided inside the LED strip 112. The function of the light guide plate 144 is to uniformly diffuse the light emitted by the LED strip, so that the light is more uniform in brightness inside the LED strip 112 and when it is emitted from the bottom surface 104, avoiding local overly bright or dark situations, and providing users with a better lighting experience.

[0040] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the LED strips 112 can be arranged horizontally or vertically within the window frame 114. This flexible arrangement can be selected according to different usage scenarios and user needs, further enhancing the product's applicability.

[0041] The louver assembly 100 of this application is easy to operate and has rich functions in actual use. In actual use, the LED strips 112 are rotatably connected to the inside of the grille 126 via the cylinder 136. Users can manually rotate the LED strips 112 to change the light angle between adjacent LED strips 112, thereby adjusting the angle of light entering the room to meet the needs of light direction in different scenarios.

[0042] In controlling the light emission of the LED strip 112, the user can easily turn the LED strip 112 on and off using the capacitive touch switch 118 to control whether it emits light. When the LED strip 112 emits light, the light shines onto the light guide plate 144, which diffuses the light, making the light emitted by the LED strip 112 uniform in brightness and avoiding the problem of uneven light distribution.

[0043] When the user rotates the LED strip 112 to the closed state, the translucent bottom surface 104 allows external light to enter the LED strip 112. At this time, the translucent bottom surface 104 reduces the intensity of the light, effectively adjusting the brightness of the light. After being reflected by the light guide plate 144, the light shines into the room, making the light entering the room soft and not dazzling, creating a comfortable lighting environment for the user.

[0044] In summary, the louver assembly with lighting slats of this application, through its ingenious structural design and advanced functional configuration, achieves flexible light adjustment and uniform illumination, bringing users a completely new user experience. The present invention and its embodiments have been described above; this description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art, inspired by this description, design similar structural methods and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of this invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of this invention.
