Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mirrors, and more particularly to a mirror suitable for emitting light. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most light-emitting products using penetrating media often exhibit visible granular, segmented LED beads when viewed from the front due to direct LED illumination. This issue can typically be addressed in two ways: first, by optimizing the optical design, such as adding diffusers or light guides, to make the light more uniform and softer after multiple refractions and scattering, thus reducing the granular appearance of the LED beads; second, by improving the LED arrangement or using COB (Chip On Board) integrated packaging technology, employing a side-fixed method to reduce the spacing between LED beads or achieve a seamless surface light source effect, thereby improving the visual experience when viewed from the front. However, using a side-fixed light source results in a brighter area closer to the LED beads and a darker area further away, leading to an uneven overall light emission range. Adding a diffuser not only significantly increases material costs but also requires large-scale cutting equipment, further increasing manufacturing costs on the production line and hindering production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is to provide a mirror suitable for emitting light, addressing the various shortcomings of existing mirrors.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a mirror suitable for emitting light, comprising: a mirror body, a first coating layer, and a second coating layer; the first coating layer and the second coating layer are distributed on the same side of the mirror body; the first coating layer is a light-transmitting coating layer; and the second coating layer is a light-shielding coating layer.

[0005] The first coating comprises: a first light-transmitting film and a particle strip; the particle strip is dispersed within the first light-transmitting film.

[0006] Preferably, the particle size in the particle strip is 1μm to 1.3μm; and the thickness of the first coating is 0.1mm to 0.2mm.

[0007] Preferably, the second coating is one of a silver coating, an aluminum coating, a titanium coating, or a gold coating.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the mirror body includes a frosted surface and a smooth surface; the frosted surface is in contact with the first coating layer; and the smooth surface is in contact with the second coating layer.

[0009] Preferably, the mirror body is glass; the particle strip is an organosilicon powder strip; and the first light-transmitting film is a paint film.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a light strip; the light from the light strip faces the first coating.

[0011] Preferably, the distance between the light strip and the first coating is greater than 10mm.

[0012] Preferably, the width of the first coating matches the width of the light strip.

[0013] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) In this embodiment of the invention, a first coating is prepared by using a first light-transmitting film and a particle strip. Utilizing the light-transmitting properties of the first light-transmitting film, direct light passes through the film and undergoes scattering, refraction, or diffuse reflection with the particles in the particle strip. After being reflected by numerous particles, the direct light is dispersed to various light-transmitting areas on the front of the mirror, reducing local over-brightness or dark areas, ultimately achieving a more uniform light distribution and a more transparent and delicate overall texture when viewed from the front.

[0015] (2) This utility model embodiment uses different structures for the connecting surfaces in different coatings. A frosted surface is used on the connecting surface of the first coating, and a smooth surface is used on the connecting surface of the second coating. This not only allows the frosted surface to increase the number of times the direct light is scattered, refracted, or diffused when passing through the first coating, but also ensures the mirror effect at the second coating.

[0016] (3) This utility model embodiment can achieve uniform light distribution and no light bead visibility by using two different coating structures, which reduces the accessories required for the light-emitting part of similar products, saving material costs and installation costs.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1 This utility model embodiment provides a mirror suitable for emitting light. The mirror includes: a mirror body 1, a first coating layer 2, and a second coating layer 3. The first coating layer 2 and the second coating layer 3 are distributed on the same side of the mirror body 1. The other side of the mirror body 1 faces the user. The first coating layer 2 is a light-transmitting coating, used to diffuse light from the side of the mirror body 1 facing away from the user towards the user. The second coating layer 3 is a light-shielding coating, fulfilling the user's need for reflection. The light-shielding coating is a coating that prevents any light from passing through.

[0024] The first coating 2 includes a first light-transmitting film 210 and a particle strip 220. The particle strip 220 is uniformly dispersed within the first light-transmitting film 210 and covers all corners of the first light-transmitting film 210. The particle strip 220 is used to cause scattering, refraction, or diffuse reflection of light transmitted through the first light-transmitting film 210. The particle size in the particle strip 220 is 1μm to 1.3μm, which is between 8000 mesh and 12500 mesh. The thickness of the first coating is 0.1mm to 0.2mm.

[0025] The second coating 3 is one of silver coating, aluminum coating, titanium coating, and gold coating.

[0026] The mirror body 1 is made of glass. The mirror body 1 includes a frosted surface 110 and a smooth surface 120. Both the frosted surface 110 and the smooth surface 120 are located on the side facing away from the user. The frosted surface 110 is in contact with the first coating 20. The smooth surface 120 is in contact with the second coating 3. Furthermore, the second coating 3 is located on the upper part of the mirror body 1, and the first coating 20 is located on the lower part of the mirror body 1.

[0027] The luminescent mirror works by adding a first coating layer 2 to its frosted surface. The principle behind this is that the particle bands 220 within the first coating layer 2 cause direct light to scatter, refract, or diffusely reflect when passing through it. This disperses the concentrated light across the various light-transmitting areas of the mirror's front surface, reducing overly bright or dark areas and ultimately achieving a more uniform light distribution and a more transparent and delicate overall visual effect when viewed from the front. This technology is commonly found in the field of optical thin films and can be applied to decorative mirrors, lighting panels, display devices, and other applications to improve optical performance and aesthetics.

[0028] The first light-transmitting film is preferably a paint film, more preferably a UV varnish. The particle band 220 is preferably silicone powder. The mixing ratio of the silicone powder and the UV varnish is preferably 1g:100ml to 1g:200ml. The unique atomic arrangement of the silicone powder makes the scattering, refraction, or diffuse reflection reactions of direct light with the silicone powder more obvious, and the light distribution more uniform.

[0029] Specifically, the manufacturing process of the mirror suitable for emitting light includes:

[0030] The development of the first coating layer involved mixing 8000-12500 mesh silicone powder with UV varnish at a ratio of 1g:100ml to form a mixed coating. This mixed coating was then applied by spraying.

[0031] Treatment of frosted surface of mirror: Select a mirror with the second coating attached to the entire back, and use fine sandpaper of the required mesh size to sandblast the part of the mirror that needs to transmit light to form a frosted surface; and use talcum powder to clean the mirror to ensure the adhesion of the subsequent sprayed coating.

[0032] The coating of the first layer of the mirror and subsequent processing: The mixed coating is sprayed onto the talc-treated mirror portion, resulting in a 0.1-0.2 mm thick coating on the frosted surface. To ensure the adhesion of the first coating, it is baked until fully set.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Please see Figure 2The present invention also provides a mirror suitable for emitting light. The mirror suitable for emitting light includes: a mirror body 1, a first coating layer 2, a second coating layer 3, a light strip 4, and a tray 5. The structure and arrangement of the mirror body 1, the first coating layer 2, and the second coating layer 3 are the same as those of the mirror suitable for emitting light in Embodiment 1. The light from the light strip 4 faces the first coating layer 2. The tray 5 is used to hold the light strip 4. The tray 5 has a Z-shaped structure, with one end connected to the second coating layer 3 and the other end connected to the light strip 4. The distance between the light strip 4 and the first coating layer 2 is greater than 10mm, preferably 12mm to 18mm. The width of the first coating layer 2 matches the width of the light strip 4.

[0035] In summary, this embodiment of the invention uses a first light-transmitting film mixed with granular tape to form a first coating. The granular tape creates numerous reflective and refractive surfaces, causing the first coating to undergo multiple scattering, refraction, or diffuse reflection reactions when facing direct light. Furthermore, the use of a frosted surface on the connecting surface of the first coating increases the number of scattering, refraction, or diffuse reflection reactions of the direct light, ultimately dispersing the concentrated light to various light-transmitting areas on the front of the mirror, reducing localized overexposure or darkness, and ultimately achieving a more uniform light distribution and a more transparent and delicate overall visual effect when viewed from the front.

Those skilled in the art will understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the invention.
