Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surface light source technology for refrigerators and freezers, specifically an integrated surface light source. Background Technology
[0002] Surface light sources used in refrigerators and freezers typically include a mounting bracket, a light guide plate, a diffuser plate, and LED strips. Traditionally, when assembling surface light sources, double-sided adhesive is used to bond the mounting bracket, light guide plate, and diffuser plate before the surface light source is assembled onto the air duct assembly. The drawbacks of this method are: 1) The double-sided adhesive bonding process is complex and requires significant manpower; 2) The surface light source needs to be manufactured separately and then assembled with the air duct assembly, leading to material waste and high labor costs; 3) Most steps rely on manual operation, making automated production difficult.
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned defects, in recent years, the industry has gradually adopted an integrated structure that combines the surface light source and the air duct. This involves bonding the structural layers of the surface light source sequentially to the injection-molded air duct component using adhesive layers. The injection-molded air duct component has slots for accommodating LED strips and exit holes for the LED strip wiring harnesses, corresponding to the positions of the light guide plate. However, in practical applications, the LED strips installed in the slots of the injection-molded air duct component often come into contact with the light guide plate, potentially damaging the LED chips. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated surface light source to solve the problem that LED beads in current surface light source assemblies are easily damaged by the light guide plate.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated surface light source, comprising an air duct injection molded part, a light strip, a light guide plate, and a diffuser plate. The light strip includes a strip light plate, LED beads disposed on the front wall of the strip light plate, and a wire harness connected to the rear wall of one end of the strip light plate. The top of the front wall of the air duct injection molded part is provided with a light groove for mounting the strip light plate in the horizontal direction. The rear wall of the light groove is provided with a wire outlet hole corresponding to the position of the wire harness. The bottom of the strip light plate is provided with multiple slots in the horizontal direction. The bottom of the rear wall of the inner cavity of the light groove is provided with a limiting protrusion that matches the slot. The top of the light guide plate presses against the bottom surface of the limiting protrusion. The wire harness is fitted with a silicone sleeve corresponding to the position of the wire outlet hole. The silicone sleeve and the wire outlet hole are fitted together by an interference fit.
[0006] Preferably, the front wall of the air duct injection molded part has a rectangular groove located below the lamp slot, the outer edge of the rectangular groove has a side groove, a reflective sheet is fitted inside the rectangular groove, and the light guide plate is fitted inside the side groove. The reflective sheet enhances light utilization and improves brightness uniformity.
[0007] Preferably, the front wall of the light guide plate is provided with several recessed structures.
[0008] Preferably, the recessed structure of the front wall of the light guide plate is a spherical groove distributed in a rectangular array.
[0009] Preferably, the front wall of the air duct injection molded part is provided with a glue groove at the position outside the side groove, and the rear wall of the glue groove has a wavy cross-section.
[0010] Preferably, the rear wall of the lamp trough is provided with a square groove corresponding to the position of the wire harness, and the wire outlet is provided on the rear wall of the square groove.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The integrated surface light source of this utility model uses a limiting protrusion to limit the light guide plate, so as to avoid the light guide plate hitting the LED beads; in addition, the limiting protrusion can also play a role in positioning and installing the light strip.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated surface light source. A lamp groove 1.2 is provided horizontally at the top of the front wall of the air duct injection molded part 1. A square groove 1.3 is provided near one end of the rear wall of the lamp groove 1.2. A wire outlet 1.4 is located on the rear wall of the square groove 1.3. Multiple limiting protrusions 1.5 are provided horizontally at the bottom of the rear wall of the inner cavity of the lamp groove 1.2. A rectangular groove 1.1 is provided on the front wall of the air duct injection molded part 1 below the lamp groove 1.2. A side groove 1.6 is provided on the outer edge of the rectangular groove 1.1. A glue groove 1.7 is provided on the front wall of the air duct injection molded part 1 outside the side groove 1.6. The rear wall cross-section of the glue groove 1.7 is wavy, and the wavy shape can have one or more troughs, increasing the area covered by the glue surface and thus improving the bonding effect.
[0016] The light strip 2 includes a strip light panel 2.1, LED beads 2.2 disposed on the front wall of the strip light panel 2.1, and a wire harness 2.3 connected to the rear wall of one end of the strip light panel 2.1. The LED beads 2.3 are evenly distributed laterally on the top of the front wall of the strip light panel 2.1. The lower part of the strip light panel 2.1 has slots 2.4 that correspond one-to-one with and match the limiting protrusions 1.5. A silicone sleeve 2.5 is fitted onto the wire harness 2.3. The silicone sleeve 2.5 and the wire outlet hole 1.4 are fitted together by an interference fit. That is, the compression effect of the wire outlet hole 1.4 and the silicone sleeve 2.5 structure improves the sealing effect, giving the wire outlet hole 1.4 a better sealing and waterproof effect.
[0017] When assembling the light strip 2 onto the injection-molded part 1 of the air duct, first pass the wire harness 2.3 through the outlet hole 1.4, and align the slot 2.4 with the limiting protrusion 1.5 one-to-one. Then, snap the strip light panel 2.1 into the light groove 1.2, and fit the silicone sleeve 2.5 into the outlet hole 1.4 with an interference fit, with the slot 2.4 engaging the corresponding limiting protrusion 1.5. The square groove 1.3 is used to accommodate the electrical connection point between the strip light panel 2.1 and the wire harness 2.3.
[0018] The reflector 5 is mounted in the rectangular groove 1.1 to enhance light utilization and improve brightness uniformity.
[0019] When installing the light guide plate 3, it is snapped into the side groove 1.6, with the top of the light guide plate 3 resting against the bottom surface of the limiting protrusion 1.5 to prevent the light guide plate 3 from impacting the LED beads 2.3. Additionally, the front wall of the light guide plate 3 is provided with several recessed structures. These recessed structures are spherical grooves distributed in a rectangular array to ensure uniform light dispersion.
[0020] Glue is injected into the glue tank 1.7, and then the outer edge of the rear wall of the diffuser plate 4 is attached to the corresponding position in the glue tank 1.7. A logo or other design is printed on the surface of the diffuser plate 4 using screen printing or UV printing.
