Description

Technical Field

[0002] like Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates a conventional flexible LED strip structure. (In conjunction with...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flexible light strip structure mainly includes an FPC light panel 1', a soft elastic plastic inner core layer 2', a soft elastic plastic light-emitting layer 3', and a soft elastic plastic light-shielding layer 4'. The FPC light panel 1' houses an LED light source and other electronic components, forming a flexible circuit structure through circuit design. By sequentially covering the FPC light panel 1' with the soft elastic plastic inner core layer 2', the soft elastic plastic light-emitting layer 3', and the soft elastic plastic light-shielding layer 4', the structure of the FPC light panel 1' is protected. Utilizing the light transmittance of these materials, a complete flexible light strip is formed. In practical applications, light is typically transmitted directly through the light source mounted on the FPC light panel 1', thus forming a flexible light strip for illumination.

[0003] However, existing flexible LED strips have some shortcomings, and in some cases, the following phenomena may occur:

[0004] The light uniformity is poor, and localized bright spots are easily observed.

[0005] The direction of light is relatively uniform, which easily creates shadowy areas;

[0006] The diffuse reflection effect is weak, while the direct light is strong, which can cause glare. Utility Model Content

[0039] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0040] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solution according to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0041] like Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates a structural schematic of a first embodiment of a neon-structured flexible light strip provided by this utility model; in conjunction with... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the first embodiment, the neon structure flexible light strip includes:

[0042] FPC light panel 1, which is equipped with LED light source;

[0043] The inner core layer 2 covers the FPC lamp board 1, allowing the LED light source to pass through and be led out from the light-emitting surface 20 of the inner core layer;

[0044] The light-emitting layer 3 is attached to the light-emitting surface 20 of the inner core layer 2;

[0045] The light-shielding layer 4 covers the assembled FPC lamp panel 1 and inner core layer 2, excluding the light-emitting surface 20.

[0046] More specifically, in this embodiment, the inner core layer 2 has at least a partially curved surface 22 on its side, and its light-emitting surface 20 is a lens-shaped surface; the inner side of the light-shielding layer 4 has a curved surface that cooperates with the inner core layer 2 (cooperating with the curved surface 22); it can be understood that the curved surface structure can guide light to be reflected internally, thereby improving the light mixing effect of the emitted light.

[0047] More specifically, the light-emitting layer 3 is at least partially shaped as a whole with a smaller bottom and a larger top, and the cross-sectional shape of the inner core layer 2 is circular, rectangular, elliptical, or honeycomb.

[0048] In this embodiment, the FPC lamp board 1 is disposed on the bottom surface of the inner core layer 2.

[0049] The light-emitting surface 20 of the light-emitting layer 2 is a concave lens surface, the bottom surface of the light-emitting layer 3 that cooperates with it is a convex lens surface, and the top surface of the light-emitting layer 3 is a plane.

[0050] More specifically, multiple holes 21 are arranged along the length of the light strip in the light-emitting layer 2 to refract and diffuse the light from the LED light source. Specifically, when light passes through the structure of the light-emitting layer 2, it can achieve refraction or uniform diffusion through the holes 21, thereby significantly improving the overall light emission uniformity and visual effect. The cross-section of the holes 21 can be circular, rectangular, elliptical, or honeycomb-shaped, etc., to meet different optical design requirements.

[0051] The inner core layer 2 and the light-emitting layer 3 are made of PVC, silicone, PU or other types of soft plastic materials.

[0053] It is understood that in this embodiment, the light-shielding layer 4 has both light-shielding and reflective functions at the arc-shaped portion, while the inner core layer 2 has good light transmission properties. When light shines on the arc-shaped surface of the light-shielding layer 4, a reflection effect is achieved, and then the light passes through the light-emitting layer 3 to achieve light transmission, thereby forming a complete lighting effect.

[0054] In this embodiment, by sequentially wrapping the FPC light panel 1 with a soft elastic plastic inner core layer 2, a soft elastic plastic light-emitting layer 3, and a soft elastic plastic light-shielding layer 4, the structure of the FPC light panel 1 is protected. By utilizing the light-transmitting properties of the materials, a complete neon flexible light strip is formed.

[0055] like Figure 7 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a second embodiment of a neon-structured flexible light strip provided by this utility model; in conjunction with... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the FPC light panel 1 is disposed on the side of the inner core layer 2. Other structures are basically the same as in the first embodiment. For more details, please refer to and combine with the foregoing description. Figures 4 to 6 The description of that will not be repeated here.

[0056] like Figure 10 The diagram shown illustrates a structural schematic of a third embodiment of a neon-structured flexible light strip provided by this utility model; in conjunction with... Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the main difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that the light-emitting surface 20 of the light-emitting layer 2 adopts a convex lens-like surface, the bottom surface of the light-emitting layer 3 that cooperates with it is a concave lens-like surface, and the top surface of the light-emitting layer 3 is a plane. In this embodiment, the arrangement holes may not be provided. Other structures are basically the same as or similar to those in the first embodiment. For more details, please refer to and combine with the foregoing description. Figures 4 to 6 The description of that will not be repeated here.

[0057] In this third embodiment, the inner core layer has a light-transmitting function and is provided with a lens-like structure, through which light can be diffused out.

[0058] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] This utility model provides a flexible light strip with a neon structure. By adopting a light strip structure with a neon effect, it eliminates glaring bright spots and achieves soft and natural light output.

[0060] In addition, in this invention, by setting multiple rows of holes along the length of the light strip in the light-emitting layer, the light from the LED light source is refracted and diffused in multiple directions, thereby making the light output uniform and improving the lighting quality, and avoiding the generation of shadow areas.

[0061] Furthermore, in this invention, the inner core layer has at least a partially curved surface on its side, the light-emitting surface of which is a lens-shaped surface, and the inner side of the light-shielding layer has a curved surface that cooperates with the inner core layer, forming multiple scattering and reflection effects, improving the light mixing effect, thereby enhancing the visual experience; and improving the uneven distribution of light, eliminating the breakpoint light spots caused by the spacing of the lamp beads, and improving the overall lighting effect.
