In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms “center,” “longitudinal,” “lateral,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “rear,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” and “outer,” etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. Furthermore, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0034] This utility model provides a lighting assembly, comprising: an elongated light source plate having a plurality of light sources arranged along its longitudinal direction; an elongated reflector spaced apart from and arranged opposite to the light source plate, including a plurality of reflective structures arranged along its longitudinal direction; and a light diffuser made of a translucent material, which laterally surrounds the light source plate and the reflector, and has an inner surface extending between the light source plate and the reflector and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface.
[0035] In this lighting assembly, the light emitted from the slender light source plate is evenly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the assembly through reflection by the reflective structure on the reflector. Furthermore, the light emitted from the light source plate (after reflection by the reflector) enters the light diffuser from its inner surface and exits from its outer surface. The translucent material of the light diffuser further ensures a more uniform distribution of light emitted from the light source plate along the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly.
[0036] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of reflective structures include a plurality of first reflective structures, each first reflective structure corresponding to a light source on the light source plate and arranged to face the corresponding light source. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of reflective structures further include a plurality of second reflective structures, the second reflective structures being arranged between two adjacent first reflective structures. This configuration of reflectors enables the light emitted from the elongated light source plate to be further evenly distributed in the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly.
[0037] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the reflector is a molded part coated with a reflective coating. Reflectors manufactured in this way have the advantages of simple manufacturing process, low cost, and small thickness, thereby reducing the cost and size of the lighting assembly.

[0039] Through optical coupling between the outer surface of the light diffuser of the lighting assembly and the transparent housing of the electronic device, light emitted from the outer surface of the light diffuser enters the transparent housing of the electronic device via this optical coupling, thereby achieving a lighting effect across the entire transparent housing of the electronic device. This enhances the user experience.
[0040] Figure 1A and Figure 1B This is a perspective view showing a speaker assembly 10 according to one or more embodiments of the present invention from different angles. The speaker assembly 10 includes a speaker base 12 and a speaker housing 20 disposed on the speaker base 12. The speaker housing 20 includes a rear housing 22 and a front housing 24. The rear housing 22 and the front housing 24 of the speaker housing 20 are assembled together to define an internal volume.

[0042] Figure 2A and Figure 2B An exploded view of the speaker assembly 10 is shown, in which the lighting assembly 100 is separated from the speaker assembly 10, and the components of the lighting assembly 100 are separated from each other to clearly show its structure. Figure 3A and Figure 3B This is an assembled cross-sectional view of the lighting assembly 100, with some components not shown, to show the lighting assembly more clearly.
[0043] The lighting assembly 100 includes an LED panel 110, a light diffuser 130, a reflector 150, a support ridge 170, and a back cover 190. In the embodiment shown, the lighting assembly 100 is elongated, and therefore its LED panel 110, light diffuser 130, reflector 150, support ridge 170, and back cover 190 are all elongated.
[0044] LED board 110 includes a circuit board 112 and a plurality of LED elements 120 disposed on the circuit board 112. In one or more embodiments according to the present invention, the plurality of LED elements 120 of LED board 110 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of LED board 110. A plurality of holes 114 are also disposed on LED board 110 for fixing and positioning LED board 110. Light diffuser 130 includes a light diffuser body 132 and a plurality of holes 134 formed on light diffuser body 132. Light diffuser 130 also includes a plurality of openings 140 arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of lighting assembly 100. Light diffuser 130 is made of a light-transmitting material, such as a translucent or transparent material, for diffusing light transmitted therethrough. In some embodiments, dispersed diffusion particles are also formed within light diffuser 130 for further diffusing light transmitted therethrough. In one or more embodiments, light diffuser 130 may be made of any material suitable for diffusing or scattering light transmitted therethrough. The reflector 150 includes a reflector body 152, a plurality of holes 154 formed on the reflector body 152, and a plurality of reflective structures 160 formed on the reflector body 152. The support ridge 170 includes a support ridge body 172 and a plurality of holes 174 formed on the support ridge body 172. The back cover 190 includes a back cover body 192.
[0045] As shown in the figure, the number of holes 114 in the LED board 110, the number of holes 134 in the light diffuser 130, the number of holes 154 in the reflector 150, and the number of holes 174 in the support ridge 170 are the same and are in corresponding positions. Therefore, in the assembly position of the speaker assembly 10 or the lighting assembly 100, the holes 114, 134, 154, and 174 of the LED board 110, light diffuser 130, reflector 150, and support ridge 170 are in relatively aligned positions. Fasteners (not shown), such as screws, can pass through the holes 114, 134, 154, and 174 of the LED board 110, light diffuser 130, reflector 150, and support ridge 170 and be threaded into the corresponding threaded holes 44 of the speaker housing 20, thereby securing the LED board 110, light diffuser 130, reflector 150, and support ridge 170 to the speaker housing 20 of the speaker assembly 10. In this document, the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100 can be referred to as its longitudinal direction. The direction in which the LED panel 110, light diffuser 130, reflector 150, support ridge 170, and rear cover 190 are stacked together, i.e., the fastener extension direction in the illustrated embodiment, can be referred to as the front-rear direction, where the direction toward the speaker 14 is the forward direction and the direction away from the speaker 14 is the rearward direction. The direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal and front-rear directions of the lighting assembly 100 can be referred to as the lateral direction.
[0046] The speaker housing 20, specifically the rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20, has openings 30 that conform to the shape and size of the lighting assembly 100. When the lighting assembly 100 is attached to the speaker housing 20, the speaker housing 20 and the lighting assembly 100 form a continuous outer surface, thus providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance. A recess 178 is formed on the back of the support ridge 170. The shape and size of the recess 178 of the support ridge 170 correspond to the rear cover 190. When the rear cover 190 is attached to the support ridge 170, it can cover screws and the like that connecting the lighting assembly 100 to the speaker housing 20, and forms a continuous outer surface with the support ridge 170, thus providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0047] Figure 4A This is a perspective sectional view of a speaker device 10 according to one or more embodiments of the present invention. Figure 4B yes Figure 4A A partial enlarged view of the speaker unit 10. Figure 4C yes Figure 4A A partial view of the speaker assembly 10, in which some components of the lighting assembly are separated from each other, to show the internal structure of the lighting assembly 100 more clearly.
[0048] As shown in the figure, in the lighting assembly 100, LED elements 120 on the LED board 110 are opposite to reflective structures 160 on the reflector 150. The LED board 110 includes a plurality of LED elements 120 spaced apart along the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100. The reflector 150 includes a plurality of reflective structures 160 spaced apart along the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100. Figure 4B and 4C As shown by the dashed lines, at the assembly position of the lighting assembly 100, each LED element on the LED board 110 is aligned with a reflective structure 160 on the reflector 150. In the embodiment shown, the reflective structure 160 of the reflector 150 has a V-shaped structure, with the apex of the V-shape facing the LED element on the LED board 110. Therefore, when the LED element 120 emits light, the emitted light is reflected by the reflective structure 160 facing it. This reflection makes the light emitted by the LED element 120 on the LED board 110 more evenly distributed, especially in the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100. In one or more embodiments according to the present invention, the number of reflective structures 160 on the reflector 150 is greater than the number of LED elements 120 on the LED board 110, so that some reflective structures 160 on the reflector 150 are not arranged opposite to the LED elements 120 on the LED board 110, but are arranged between two adjacent LED elements on the LED board 110. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the reflector 150 may include one or two reflective structures 160 disposed between adjacent LED elements on the LED plate 110. The reflective structures 160 disposed between adjacent LED elements 120 on the LED plate 110 also reflect light emitted by the LED elements, resulting in a more uniform distribution of light emitted by the LED elements 120 on the LED plate 110. This configuration allows the lighting assembly 100 to achieve uniform light distribution using a smaller number of LED elements 120, reducing its manufacturing and usage costs.
[0049] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the reflector 150 is a molded part coated with a reflective coating. In some embodiments, the reflector 150 is formed by coating a molded plastic part with a reflective coating. In some other embodiments, the reflector 150 is formed by stamping a metal sheet, preferably coated with a reflective coating. The reflector 150 thus produced has the advantages of simple manufacturing process, low cost, and small thickness. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the reflector 150 can be manufactured by any suitable process. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the reflective structure 160 of the reflector 150 has a V-shaped cross-section for reflecting light emitted from the LED element 120, making it more uniformly distributed in the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the reflective structure 160 of the reflector 150 can have any suitable structure and shape. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the reflector 150 includes one or two reflective structures 160 arranged between two adjacent LED elements on the LED plate 110. In one or more other embodiments of the present invention, the reflector 150 does not include a reflective structure 160 at a position between two adjacent LED elements on the LED plate 110.
[0050] Figure 5A This is a partial cross-sectional view of the speaker unit 10 taken along the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100. Figure 5B yes Figure 5A The enlarged view at point A (dashed box) is shown. As illustrated, at the assembly position of the lighting assembly 100, the LED elements 120 of the LED board 110 face the corresponding reflective structures 160 on the reflector 150 and are spaced apart. In one or more embodiments according to this invention, the distance between the LED elements 120 of the LED board 110 and the corresponding reflective structures 160 on the reflector 150 is small, for example, 2mm-5mm, preferably 3-4mm. At this distance, a large portion of the light emitted from the LED elements 120 of the LED board 110 is reflected by their corresponding reflective structures, thereby making the light emitted from the LED elements 120 more evenly distributed in the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100. Simultaneously, this configuration also reduces the thickness of the lighting assembly 100 in the front-to-back direction, thus reducing its installation space.
[0051] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the light diffuser 130 includes a plurality of openings 140 arranged longitudinally spaced along the lighting assembly 100 (see...). Figure 2A-2BThe light diffuser 130 is arranged such that the light diffuser body 132 surrounds the LED plate 110 and the reflector 150 on the side or lateral side, and each opening 140 of the light diffuser 130 is aligned with one or more corresponding LED elements 120 on the LED plate 110, so that the light emitted by the LED element 120 can reach the reflector 150, such as the reflective structure 160 of the reflector 150, without obstruction and be reflected by the reflector 150.
[0052] Figure 6A This is a cross-sectional view of the speaker unit 10 taken along a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100. Figure 6B yes Figure 6A An enlarged view of the area within the dashed box. As shown, the LED panel 110 and its LED elements 120 of the lighting assembly 100 are spaced apart from the reflector 150, defining a reflection space 128 therebetween. The reflection space 128 is surrounded and defined on both sides by a light diffuser 130 (light diffuser body 132).
[0053] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the LED elements 120 of the LED board 110 emit light, for example, in a divergent or conical beam. After being reflected by the reflector 150 (e.g., the reflective structure 160), a portion of the light emitted by the LED elements 120 enters the light diffuser body 132 via the inner surface 142 and exits via the outer surfaces 144 and 146 of the light diffuser body 132. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the light diffuser 130 is made of a light-transmitting material, such as a translucent or transparent material, thereby diffusing the light transmitted through it. In some embodiments, dispersed diffusion particles are also formed within the light diffuser 130 for further diffusing the light transmitted through it.
[0054] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the light diffuser body 132 of the light diffuser 130 has a shoulder or stepped portion 142 formed on its outer side. The shoulder or stepped portion 142 of the light diffuser 130 is configured to cooperate with a corresponding structure on the rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20 of the speaker assembly 10, thereby achieving precise positioning between the light diffuser 130 and the rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20. At this time, the outer surface 144 and outer surface 146 of the light diffuser body 132 of the light diffuser 130 are closely adjacent to and opposite to the corresponding surfaces on the rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20. Therefore, light emitted through the outer surfaces 144 and 146 of the light diffuser body 132 can enter the rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20 is made of a light-transmitting or transparent material, so that light energy emitted from the outer surfaces 144 and 146 of the light diffuser 130 and entering the rear housing 22 is transmitted along the rear housing 22, thereby making the entire rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20 illuminated, providing an enhanced lighting effect. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the inner surface of the rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20 is textured or roughened to enhance the lighting effect of the speaker device 10. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the inner surface 142 of the light diffuser 130 is inclined, thereby helping to direct more light to the rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the support ridge 170 and / or rear cover 190 of the lighting assembly 100 are opaque, so that the light emitted by the LED elements 120 of the LED panel 110 of the lighting assembly 100 does not exit from the rear side (support ridge 170 and rear cover 190) of the lighting assembly 100, but only from the outer surfaces 144, 146 of the light diffuser body 132. This configuration further enhances the lighting effect of the speaker device 10. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the intensity and color of the light emitted by the LED elements 120 of the LED panel 110 of the lighting assembly 100 change with the music played by the speaker device 10. This further enhances the lighting effect of the speaker device 10 and improves the user experience.
[0055] In the lighting assembly 100, a plurality of LED elements 120 are disposed on an elongated LED plate 110, arranged along its length or longitudinal direction. Similarly, a plurality of reflective structures 160 are disposed on an elongated reflector 150, arranged along its length or longitudinal direction. Through the reflection of the reflective structures 160 on the reflector 150, the light emitted by the LED elements 120 is uniformly distributed in the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100. The lighting assembly 100 also includes a light diffuser 130, which is arranged laterally around the space between the LED plate 110 and the reflector 150. Light emitted from the LED elements 120, after being reflected by the reflector 150, enters the light diffuser 130 from its inner surface 142 and exits from its outer surfaces 144, 146. In one or more embodiments, the light diffuser 130 may be made of a translucent material, further uniformly distributing the light emitted by the LED elements 120 in the longitudinal direction of the lighting assembly 100. Furthermore, the light emitted from the outer surfaces 144 and 146 of the light diffuser 130 enters the rear housing 22 of the speaker housing 20 via corresponding surfaces that are optically coupled to (e.g., closely adjacent and opposite) the outer surfaces 144 and 146. The rear housing 22 can be made of transparent or light-transmitting material, allowing light entering the rear housing 22 to be transmitted along the rear housing 22, thereby achieving a lighting effect across the entire rear housing 22. Therefore, the lighting assembly 100 of this invention has a simple structure, low cost, and small footprint, while achieving a lighting effect across the entire rear housing 22, thus improving the user experience.
[0056] In the illustrated embodiment, the lighting assembly 100 includes an LED panel 110, a light diffuser 130, a reflector 150, a support ridge 170, and a rear cover 190. Corresponding holes 114, 134, 154, and 174 are provided on the LED panel 110, light diffuser 130, reflector 150, and support ridge 170. Fasteners extend through these holes and are fastened to corresponding threaded holes 44 on the speaker housing 20, thereby securing the lighting assembly 100 to the speaker housing 20. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In one or more embodiments according to the present invention, the lighting assembly 100 may employ a light source other than LED elements. In the illustrated embodiment, the support ridge 170 serves a supporting function, while the rear cover is primarily for aesthetic purposes. In one or more embodiments according to the present invention, the lighting assembly 100 may not include the support ridge and / or the rear cover. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the lighting assembly 100 may not include a separate support ridge and / or rear cover; that is, the support ridge and / or rear cover of the lighting assembly 100 may be integrally formed with other components, such as the reflector 150. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the lighting assembly 100 may be secured to the speaker housing 20 using any suitable fastening structure, rather than a fastening structure using fasteners (e.g., screws) and holes. In the embodiment shown, the lighting assembly 100 is used in a speaker device. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the lighting assembly 100 may be used in other electronic devices, provided that the housing of the electronic device also includes a transparent or light-transmitting material portion, and that its transparent or light-transmitting material portion is optically coupled to the light diffuser of the lighting assembly 100.
