[0038] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides an ambient light, which includes a housing 10 and a light guide strip 20. The housing 10 has a first channel 11 and several second channels 12. The first end of the first channel 11 is connected to the outside through a first opening 111. The first ends of the several second channels 12 are all connected to the first channel 11, and the second ends of the several second channels 12 are all provided with a second opening 121. The light guide strip 20 includes a light guide strip body 21 and several light-emitting strips 22. The first end of each light-emitting strip 22 is connected to the light guide strip. The main body 21 has a light-emitting part 23 at the second end of each light-emitting strip, and a first light-mixing area 221 at each light-emitting strip 22, which extends to the junction of the light-emitting strip 22 and the light guide strip body 21. The light guide strip body 21 is disposed in the first channel 11, and one end of the light guide strip 20 extends out of the first channel 11 through the first opening 111. Several light guide strip bodies 21 are disposed in several second channels 12 in a corresponding manner, and the light-emitting parts 23 of several light-emitting strips 22 abut against the housing 10.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the light guide strip body 21 is disposed in the first channel 11 of the housing 10, and several light-emitting strips 22 are disposed one-to-one in several second channels 12. The housing 10 can be connected to an external support to ensure the installation stability of the ambient light itself. In addition, the housing 10 can protect the light guide strip 20, thereby preventing damage to the light guide strip 20 and extending its service life. Several light-emitting strips 22 are all connected to the light guide strip body 21, and several light-emitting strips 22 extend one-to-one from the second openings 121 of several second channels 12. The light-emitting head 232 provided at the end of the light-emitting strip 22 can be engaged with the outside of the second opening 121, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the light-emitting strip 22. Light entering from one end of the light guide strip body 21 can be emitted from several light-emitting strips 22, which can meet the lighting needs of different areas. Each light-emitting strip 22 is provided with a first mixing area 221 and a light-emitting head 232, which can ensure that the emitted light has good aesthetics and improve the user experience. In addition, one end of the light guide strip body 21 can extend from the first channel 11, thereby enabling convenient connection to the light source and improving the ease of use.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the angle between the extension direction of any light-emitting strip 22 and the extension direction of the light guide strip body 21 is an acute angle. Specifically, in this embodiment, this arrangement facilitates the smooth entry of light from the light guide strip body 21 into the light-emitting strip 22, thereby improving the light transmission effect and ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the light emitted through the light output head 232.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the light guide strip 20 also includes a second light mixing region 212, which is located downstream of the light inlet 211. Specifically, in this embodiment, the light entering through the light inlet 211 is first fully mixed in the second light mixing region to ensure good uniformity of the light before entering the light emitting strip 22. After entering the light emitting strip 22, it is further fully mixed by the first light mixing structure, which helps to improve the light quality and ensures the aesthetics of the light emitted through the light outlet 232, thus meeting the performance requirements.
[0042] Furthermore, the cross-section of the first light-mixing region 221 and / or the cross-section of the second light-mixing region 212 are regular polygonal structures. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the first light-mixing region 221 and the cross-section of the second light-mixing region 212 are both regular hexagonal structures, making both the first light-mixing region 221 and the second light-mixing region 212 as a whole hexagonal prism. This can extend the optical path, allowing sufficient distance for light to mix; it can break the directional propagation of light, avoiding local light intensity concentration; and it can control the light emission angle, ensuring that the mixed light is emitted uniformly.
[0043] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the cross-section of the first light mixing region 221 and the cross-section of the second light mixing region 212 can also be a regular pentagon, a regular heptagon, etc., and the cross-section of the first light mixing region 221 and the cross-section of the second light mixing region 212 can be the same shape or different shapes, without specific limitations.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the light-emitting part 23 includes a connecting post 231 and a light-emitting head 232 connected together. The connecting post 231 is connected to the light-emitting strip 22, and the connecting post 231 abuts against the housing 10. The light-emitting head 232 is located at the end of the connecting post 231 away from the light-emitting strip 22, and the light-emitting head 232 is provided with a textured structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting post 231 abuts against the housing 10, which can limit the position of the light-emitting strip 22, thereby preventing the light-emitting strip 22 from moving and ensuring the stability of the area illuminated by the light-emitting strip 22, thus ensuring performance. The light-emitting head 232 is located at the end of the connecting post 231 away from the light-emitting strip 22 and is used for emitting light. The light-emitting head 232 is provided with a textured structure, which makes the light-emitting head 232 have the function of mixing and softening light, thereby improving the quality of the light emitted through the light-emitting head 232 and improving the user experience.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the light-emitting head 232 has a hemispherical structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the light-emitting head 232 has a hemispherical structure, which makes the light emitted through the light-emitting head 232 illuminate a large range, enabling the light-emitting head 232 to diffuse the light source, thereby increasing the illumination range of the light-emitting head 232 and improving the user experience.
[0046] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the shape of the light-emitting head 232 can be specifically set according to actual needs, such as cylindrical, etc., without specific limitations.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the housing 10 includes a first housing 13 and a second housing 14. One of the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 is provided with a buckle 131, and the other of the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 is provided with a locking block 141. The locking block 141 can engage with the buckle 131 to detachably connect the first housing 13 and the second housing 14. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first housing 13 is provided with a buckle 131, and the second housing 14 is provided with a locking block 141. The locking block 141 can engage with the buckle 131 to detachably connect the first housing 13 and the second housing 14. This arrangement can improve the ease of installation of the light guide strip 20, thereby helping to reduce costs and improve economy.
[0048] Alternatively, in another embodiment, a locking block 141 is provided on the first housing 13 and a buckle 131 is provided on the second housing 14, without any specific limitations.
[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 6 to 8As shown, the first housing 13 is provided with a first recess 132, and the second housing 14 is provided with a second recess 142. The first recess 132 and the second recess 142 are arranged opposite to each other to form a slot, which is used to engage the light guide strip body 21 or the light emitting strip 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first housing 13 is provided with a first groove, and the second housing 14 is provided with a second groove. When the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are engaged, the first groove and the second groove form a first channel 11. The first housing 13 is provided with a plurality of third grooves, and the second housing 14 is provided with a plurality of fourth grooves. When the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are engaged, the plurality of third grooves and the plurality of fourth grooves are arranged one-to-one to form a plurality of second channels 12. The first and third grooves are each provided with a plurality of first recesses 132, and the second and fourth grooves are each provided with a plurality of second recesses 142. The plurality of first recesses 132 and the plurality of second recesses 142 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence to form a plurality of slots. The slots can be used to engage the light guide strip body 21 or the light emitting strip 22, thereby ensuring the setting position of the light guide strip 20 in the housing 10 and ensuring the stability of the light guide strip 20.
[0050] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the ambient light also includes a light-emitting component 30, which is connected to the light guide strip 20. The light-emitting component 30 is used to guide light into the light guide strip 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, the light-emitting component 30 of the ambient light can guide light into the light guide strip 20, thereby ensuring the performance of the ambient light.
[0051] Optionally, the light-emitting component 30 includes a bracket and a light-emitting module 32. The light-emitting module 32 is disposed inside the bracket, which is provided with a connector. The light guide strip 20 is connected to the light-emitting module 32 through the connector. Specifically, in this embodiment, this arrangement allows the light-emitting module 32 and the light guide strip 20 to be detachably connected, thereby enabling timely replacement of the light-emitting module 32 in case of failure, improving the ease of maintenance of the ambient light.
[0052] Alternatively, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bracket includes a first bracket 31 and a second bracket, wherein the first bracket 31 is detachably connected to the first housing 13 and the second bracket is detachably connected to the first bracket 31, thereby ensuring the safe use of the light-emitting module 32. In some other embodiments, the first bracket 31 and the second housing 14 are integrally formed, and the second bracket is detachably connected to the first bracket 31, which will not be described in detail here.
