Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decorative lighting technology, specifically to a light curtain. Background Technology
[0002] A type of illuminated curtain includes an upper fixing box and a cord installed on the lower end of the upper fixing box. The cord is made of flexible material, and crystal beads are fixed on the cord. The crystal beads are tetrahedral, with each end face displaying a different image. All the crystal beads can form a complete image. The cord is made of transparent material and contains a light cavity. Light strips are installed within the light cavity. When the light strips are turned on, light shines through the crystal beads, enhancing the curtain's aesthetics. Furthermore, the LEDs in each light strip can be controlled via a central control circuit to create dynamic lighting effects, and the array of multiple LEDs can display dynamic patterns.
[0003] The existing problem with this type of light curtain is that when used in large scenes, densely packed light strips are expensive, while sparsely distributed light strips affect the visual aesthetics. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a light curtain that is suitable for large-scale scenes, reduces costs, and has a good overall visual effect.
[0005] The light curtain provided by this utility model includes an upper part and multiple light strips. The upper ends of the multiple light strips are connected to the upper part and hang down. The multiple light strips are arranged in a linear direction. Each light strip is provided with multiple light sources arranged at intervals along its own extension direction. It also includes a spacer strip. The spacer strip is made of a flexible strip and its surface has reflective properties. The upper end of the spacer strip is connected to the upper part and hangs down. Along the linear direction, a spacer strip is provided between two adjacent light strips. The spacer strip and at least one light source of the nearest light strip are arranged opposite each other in a linear direction.
[0006] As can be seen from the above solution, this utility model adds a spacer strip between the spaced light strips. First, in terms of appearance, the strips of the curtain remain densely packed, resulting in a good overall look. Second, since the surface of the spacer strip is reflective and the spacer strip is opposite to the light source of the light strip, when the light strip is lit, the light source will reach the spacer strip after being emitted, thereby forming a light-emitting point on the spacer strip. In this way, the spacer strip closest to the light strip will present a lighting effect similar to that of the light strip.
[0007] A further option is to use tassels for the spacers.
[0008] As can be seen above, tassels are a type of hanging ornament made of feathers, velvet, or modern woven materials, shaped like ears of grain. Tassels can sway and flutter in the wind, creating a beautiful dynamic effect. They are elegant and graceful. When light shines on the dynamic tassels, they can create an aesthetically pleasing lighting effect.
[0009] A further proposed solution is to use polyester material for the tassels.
[0010] As can be seen from the above, tassels made of polyester have better strength, and more importantly, their surface reflectivity is higher, which can better present the light effect on them.
[0011] A further approach is to arrange all light sources of the spacer strip and the nearest light strip in a linear direction relative to each other.
[0012] As can be seen from the above, with this setup, not only does the curtain itself have a better overall feel, but all the light sources of a single light strip can also illuminate the adjacent spacers, resulting in a better overall lighting effect.
[0013] A further proposed solution is that, along the linear direction, all the light sources of the light strip are positioned opposite to the spacer strip in front of the light strip and opposite to the spacer strip behind the light strip.
[0014] As can be seen from the above, with this setup, the light from one light strip can hit at least two tassels on the left and right sides, making full use of the spaced light strips to create a wider lighting effect.
[0015] A further proposed solution is to set at least two spacer strips between two adjacent light strips along the linear direction.
[0016] As can be seen from the above, due to the good reflective properties of the spacer surface, even if the distance between the spacer and the light strip is slightly far or separated by another spacer, the light from the light strip can still reach the spacer. Therefore, this setting can further increase the dispersion of the light strip, and further reduce costs while meeting the appearance and lighting requirements of large-area light curtains.
[0017] A further proposed solution is to include the upper part of the curtain and the circuitry of the light strip, with the circuitry concealed within the curtain.
[0018] As can be seen above, the upper part is set in the form of a curtain, and the curtain forms a space to hide the circuit parts and connecting wires, so as to avoid affecting the appearance.
[0019] A further option is to provide a connecting structure for the curtain fabric, which includes at least one of the following: Velcro fasteners on the surface of the curtain fabric; hook perforations on the surface of the curtain fabric; and hanging ring perforations that extend through both sides of the curtain fabric thickness.
[0020] As can be seen above, Velcro, hook holes, or hanging ring holes all facilitate the installation and fixation of curtains.
[0021] Another further option is to make the linear direction a straight line, a curve, or a broken line.
[0022] As can be seen from the above, the linear direction mainly refers to the direction after the light curtain is installed. Due to the flexibility of the curtain, the flexible curtain can meet the installation requirements regardless of whether the linear direction is a straight line, a curved line, or a zigzag line. In addition, due to the large light emission range of the light source, the light from the light source can hit the adjacent spacer strips regardless of whether the linear direction is a straight line, a curved line, or a zigzag line. Furthermore, when the linear direction is an arc or a zigzag line, or even if the linear direction is a straight line but multiple light strips and spacer strips temporarily form a continuous curved surface when the curtain swings with the wind, the location of the brightest point of each spacer strip is different, which makes the lighting effect more spatial.

[0034] First embodiment of light curtain
[0035] See Figure 1The light curtain in this embodiment includes an upper part 1, multiple light strips 2 and multiple spacer strips 3. The upper part 1 includes a curtain 11 and a circuit part (not shown in the figure) for controlling the multiple light strips 2. The circuit part is hidden inside the curtain 11.
[0036] Combination Figure 5 Specifically, the curtain 11 includes a front side 101 and a rear side 102 opposite to each other in its thickness direction, and both the front side 101 and the rear side 102 are the outer surfaces of the curtain of this utility model. The curtain includes a front fabric 101a located on the front side 101 and a rear fabric 102a located on the rear side 102, forming a concealed space 100 between the front fabric 101a and the rear fabric 102a, and the circuit part is disposed within the concealed space 100. The circuit part is prior art, which is electrically connected to all the lamp beads of all the light strips through connecting wires, thereby controlling the lighting and turning off of the lamp beads, and more specifically, controlling the lighting time and brightness of the lamp beads.
[0037] The LED bead is the light source of this utility model. The LED bead is a single-color LED bead or a multi-color RGB LED bead. The light strip 2 is also provided with a wire 212 connecting the LED bead and the circuit part. Figure 2 (As shown). Further, in this embodiment, multiple LEDs on the multiple LED strips 2 form a rectangular LED array, and the driver circuit enables the light curtain to display a set luminous pattern effect. Additionally, the curtain 11 is provided with a connecting structure; in this embodiment, the connecting structure is located at the Velcro 19 on the rear side 102 of the curtain 11. Furthermore, as... Figure 1 As shown, the upper part 1 also includes an outwardly extending connecting wire and a power plug 4. In other embodiments, the control circuit assembly can be housed within the power plug instead of being concealed within the curtain 11.
[0038] See Figure 1 Multiple light strips 2 are arranged along the x-axis direction as shown in the diagram, with the upper end of each light strip 2 connected to and hanging down from the upper part 1. Along the x-axis direction, four spacer strips 3 are arranged between adjacent light strips 2, with the upper end of each spacer strip 3 connected to and hanging down from the upper part 1. Combined with... Figure 4 The x-axis direction in the diagram represents the linear direction of this invention; in this embodiment, the linear direction is a straight line. The light strip 2 has multiple LED beads spaced apart along its extension direction. The strip body of the light strip 2 is made of a light-transmitting flexible material. In this embodiment, the spacer strips use tassels, specifically polyester tassels, which have excellent reflective properties and are also flexible. Thus, either the light strip 2 or the spacer strip 3 can sway in the wind, causing the curtain itself to sway dynamically and present a beautiful curve. The tassels are conventional, hanging, tassel-like ornaments.
[0039] See Figure 2 and combined Figure 1 In this embodiment, all light strips 2 and spacer strips 3 are of equal length. The multiple light strips 2 include a first light strip 21 and a second light strip 22. The multiple spacer strips 3 include a first spacer strip 31, a second spacer strip 32, a third spacer strip 33 and a fourth spacer strip 34. Along the x-axis direction, the first spacer strip 31, the second spacer strip 32, the third spacer strip 33 and the fourth spacer strip 34 are arranged sequentially between the first light strip 21 and the second light strip 22. That is, in the x-axis direction, the first light strip 21 is the light strip closest to the first spacer strip 31, and the second light strip 22 is the light strip closest to the fourth spacer strip 34.
[0040] The LED on the first LED strip 21 is designated as LED 211, and the LED on the second LED strip 22 is designated as LED 221. Figure 2 As shown, since multiple spacer bands 3 are of equal length to the first light strip 21 and their upper ends are at the same height, the first spacer band 31, the second spacer band 32, the third spacer band 33, and the fourth spacer band 34 are all opposite to all the first LED beads 211 on the first light strip 21 along the x-axis, and the first spacer band 31, the second spacer band 32, the third spacer band 33, and the fourth spacer band 34 are all opposite to the second LED beads 221 along the x-axis. The alignment of the spacer bands with the LED beads does not limit the orientation of the main light-emitting surface of the LED beads to the direction of the adjacent spacer band. As long as a portion of the spacer band is at the same height as the LED bead of the nearest light strip, and the backlight surface (non-light-emitting surface) of the LED bead is not directly facing the spacer band, it is considered aligned. In this configuration, the light emitted by the first LED beads 211 can hit the first spacer band 31, the second spacer band 32, the third spacer band 33, and the fourth spacer band 34, with the light intensity gradually decreasing from the first spacer band 31 to the fourth spacer band 34. Similarly, the light emitted by the second LED 221 can hit the fourth spacer 34, the third spacer 33, the second spacer 32 and the first spacer 31, and the light intensity gradually decreases from the fourth spacer 34 to the first spacer 31.
[0041] See Figure 3 The spacers also include a fifth spacer 35, a sixth spacer 36, and a seventh spacer 37, as shown in the figure. The fourth spacer 34, the third spacer 33, and the second spacer 32 are located on the right side of the second LED strip 22, while the fifth spacer 35, the sixth spacer 36, and the seventh spacer 37 are located on the left side of the second LED strip 22. Since the second LED beads 221 are mostly backlit but emit light from the front, left, and right, the emitted light from the second LED beads 221 not only makes the second LED strip 21 itself emit light but also illuminates the spacers on the right and left sides.
[0042] like Figure 1As shown, firstly, in terms of appearance, the light curtain's strips are densely packed. Because the spacers contain excess LED strips, this arrangement makes the light curtain's strips primarily tassel-like, with the LED strips blended and concealed within, creating a pleasing overall effect. Furthermore, since both the LED strips and spacers are flexible strips, the light curtain sways in the wind, temporarily forming a continuous curved surface that is aesthetically pleasing. Secondly, because the surfaces of the spacers are reflective and the light sources of the spacers and LED strips are opposite each other, when the LED strips are lit, the emitted light reaches the spacers, creating light-emitting points on them. Thus, the spacers closest to the LED strips will exhibit a similar lighting effect to the LED strips.
[0043] Second embodiment of light curtain
[0044] See Figure 6 In this embodiment, the connecting structure is a hanging ring through hole 410 that runs through both sides of the curtain thickness of the curtain 41.
[0045] In addition, in this embodiment, in the linear direction, the number of interval strips between two consecutive light strips is two.
[0046] Third embodiment of light curtain
[0047] See Figure 7 In this embodiment, the connecting structure is a hook through hole 510 located on the rear side 502 of the curtain 51, and the hook 54 can be inserted into the hook through hole 510.
[0048] Fourth embodiment of light curtain
[0049] See Figure 8 In this embodiment, although the upper ends of each light strip and each spacer are at the same horizontal height, the lower ends of each light strip and each spacer are arranged along curve L1, so the lengths of each light strip and each spacer are not equal. Under this arrangement, the spacer 63 and the lowermost LED bead 621 of the light strip 62 are not opposite each other.
[0050] Fifth embodiment of light curtain
[0051] See Figure 9 Similar to the fourth embodiment, in this embodiment, although the lower ends of each light strip and each spacer are at the same horizontal height, the upper ends of each light strip and each spacer are arranged along a curve, so the lengths of each light strip and each spacer are not equal. In this configuration, the spacer 73 and the uppermost LED bead 721 of the light strip 72 are not opposite each other.
[0052] Sixth embodiment of light curtain
[0053] See Figure 10Unlike the first embodiment, the linear direction of this embodiment is a curved direction. From a top view, the upper part 81 extends along the curve L2, and each light strip and each spacer strip is consistent with the upper part 81. Therefore, the linear direction along which each light strip and each spacer strip is arranged is the curved direction corresponding to the curve L2.
[0054] Seventh embodiment of light curtain
[0055] See Figure 11 Similar to the sixth embodiment, in this embodiment, the linear direction is a broken line direction. From a top view angle, the upper part 82 bends and extends along the curve L3. Each light strip and each spacer strip is consistent with the upper part 82. Therefore, the linear direction along which each light strip and each spacer strip is arranged is the broken line direction corresponding to the broken line L3.
[0056] In this context, the linear direction refers to the direction in which the light strips and spacers are arranged when the light curtain is in its installed state. Examples include the straight line direction shown in the first embodiment, the curved line direction shown in the sixth embodiment, and the zigzag line direction shown in the seventh embodiment, all of which are schematic representations of the installed state. Since the curtain fabric is a flexible material and does not have a fixed shape, the linear direction can be changed through installation. In other embodiments, the linear direction can also be a spiral direction.
[0057] Of course, in other embodiments, the upper part can be a rigid box that cannot be deformed. Therefore, the box needs to be processed into a form that extends in a linear direction.
[0058] In other embodiments, tassels made from other raw materials such as feathers, velvet, or other modern weaving materials can also be used.
[0059] In other embodiments, the spacer strip may also be made of other woven strips.
[0060] Any flexible strip-shaped material with reflective surface properties can be used as the spacer strip of this invention. Finally, it should be emphasized that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various variations and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
