If there are two such light spots at the same time, as long as the second light spot is rotated 180°, the straight edge of the second light spot will be in the same direction as the curved edge of the first light spot. The light spot after the two are superimposed will present an approximately circular curved hexagon.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting technology, specifically to a hexagonal reflector with interlaced curves and straight lines and its closely arranged structure. Background Technology

[0002] When the area and power of a luminaire are fixed, using more light sources is an effective way to achieve higher luminous efficacy. Considering that luminaires need to be small in size, optically diverse, and have excellent performance, the optimal optical solution is to use optical component modules, which are composed of multiple small optical components, each corresponding to a set of light sources. According to the principle of geometric interlocking, equilateral triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular hexagons can be perfectly interlocked, maximizing the use of the luminaire area. In the lighting industry, quadrilaterals and regular hexagons are more suitable. When it comes to specific types of luminaires, such as circular ones, the regular hexagon is the optimal structural shape. While using regular hexagonal optical components maximizes space utilization and improves luminous efficacy, the light spot is affected by the shape and size of the optical components, resulting in a hexagonal light spot, which greatly limits its application. The market needs a high-efficiency optical component that maximizes space utilization and produces a circular light spot. Therefore, to avoid the shortcomings of existing technologies, it is necessary to improve them. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a hexagonal reflector with interlaced curves and straight lines and its closely arranged structure.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A hexagonal reflector with interlaced curves and straight lines and its compact arrangement structure includes a reflector module. The reflector module is provided with a plurality of hexagonal reflectors. Each hexagonal reflector has a hexagonal light-incident surface and a hexagonal light-excising surface. The hexagonal light-incident surface includes three interlaced first curves and three first straight lines. The hexagonal light-excising surface includes three interlaced second curves and three second straight lines. The inner side of the hexagonal reflector is provided with six continuous reflective surfaces.

[0006] Furthermore, the first curve and the second curve are respectively located at the incident end and the exit end of the reflecting surface.

[0007] Furthermore, the first straight line and the second straight line are respectively located at the incident end and the exit end of the reflecting surface.

[0008] Furthermore, the reflector module is provided with a plurality of hexagonal reflectors arranged in a circular array.

[0009] Furthermore, the center-to-center spacing of the innermost circumferentially adjacent hexagonal reflectors is equal.

[0010] Furthermore, the center-to-center spacing of the adjacent hexagonal reflectors on the periphery is not equal, and the overall arrangement of the hexagonal reflectors approximates a hexagonal arrangement of a honeycomb.

[0011] Furthermore, when the hexagonal reflector is surrounded by 6 hexagonal reflectors, the second curve and the second straight line adjacent to the hexagonal reflector on the periphery form 3 kinds of combinations, where the number of combinations of second straight line + second curve is A, the number of combinations of second straight line + second straight line is B, and the number of combinations of second curve + second curve is C, and A = B + C.

[0012] Furthermore, the reflector module is provided with a plurality of hexagonal reflectors arranged in a linear array.

[0013] Furthermore, the reflector module is provided with a plurality of hexagonal reflectors arranged in a rectangular array.

[0014] Furthermore, the reflector module is equipped with a module connection platform.

[0015] Compared to existing technologies, this invention features a reflector module with several hexagonal reflectors. The hexagonal light-incident surface includes three interlaced first curves and three interlaced first straight lines, while the hexagonal light-exit surface includes three interlaced second curves and three second straight lines. The inner side of each hexagonal reflector has six continuous reflective surfaces, forming a uniform, nearly circular light spot. This light spot is composed of two superimposed light spots: a reflected light spot and a direct light spot. The shape of the direct light spot depends entirely on the shape of the light-exit surface of the reflector, while the shape of the reflected light spot is influenced by the reflective optical surface and the shape of the light-exit surface. Therefore, the resulting light spot... The shape depends more on the shape of the light-emitting surface. When the light-emitting surface is a hexagon with alternating curves and straight lines, the light spot shape of a single reflector is also a hexagon with alternating curves and straight lines. If there are two such light spots at the same time, as long as the second light spot is rotated 180°, the straight edge of the second light spot will be in the same direction as the curved edge of the first light spot. The light spot after the two are superimposed will present an approximately circular curved hexagon. When the curve is an arc and its corresponding fan angle is 60°, the light spot shape is exactly circular, thus forming a circular light spot. This has fewer limitations in application scenarios, a wide range of applications, high luminous efficiency, and can maximize the use of space. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6The present invention discloses a hexagonal reflector with interlaced curves and straight lines and its compact arrangement structure, including a reflector module 1. The reflector module 1 is provided with a plurality of hexagonal reflectors 2. The hexagonal reflectors 2 are provided with hexagonal light-incident surfaces 3 and hexagonal light-excising surfaces 4. The hexagonal light-incident surfaces 3 include three interlaced first curves 5 and three first straight lines 6. The hexagonal light-excising surfaces 4 include three interlaced second curves 7 and three second straight lines 8. The inner side of the hexagonal reflectors 2 is provided with six continuous reflective surfaces 9. The reflector module 1 is equipped with several hexagonal reflectors 2. The hexagonal light-incident surface 3 includes three interlaced first curves 5 and three first straight lines 6. The hexagonal light-exit surface 4 includes three interlaced second curves 7 and three second straight lines 8. The inner side of the hexagonal reflector 2 is provided with six continuous reflective surfaces 9, which can form a uniform, nearly circular light spot. The corresponding light spot is formed by the superposition of two parts of the light spot, namely a reflected light spot and a direct light spot. The shape of the direct light spot depends entirely on the shape of the light-exit surface of the reflector, while the shape of the reflected light spot is affected by the shape of the reflective optical surface and the light-exit surface. Therefore, the shape of the light spot after the two light spots are superimposed varies. It depends more on the shape of the light-emitting surface. When the shape of the light-emitting surface is a hexagon with alternating curves and straight lines, the shape of the light spot of a single reflector is also a hexagon with alternating curves and straight lines. If there are two such light spots at the same time, as long as the second light spot is rotated 180°, the straight edge of the second light spot will be in the same direction as the curved edge of the first light spot. The light spot after the two are superimposed will present an approximately circular curved hexagon. When the curve is an arc and its corresponding fan angle is 60°, the shape of the light spot is exactly circular, thus forming a circular light spot. This has fewer limitations in application scenarios, a wide range of applications, high luminous efficiency, and can maximize the use of space.

[0026] The first curve 5 and the second curve 7 are respectively set at the incident end and the exit end of the reflecting surface 9 to improve the reflectivity of the reflecting surface 9.

[0027] The first straight line 6 and the second straight line 8 are respectively located at the incident end and the exit end of the reflecting surface 9 to improve the reflective stability of the reflecting surface 9.

[0028] The reflector module 1 has several hexagonal reflectors 2 arranged in a circular array, suitable for use with circular lamps. Since the hexagonal reflectors, which are connected by intersecting curves and straight lines, are not regular hexagonal structures, they cannot be perfectly nested together. However, by adjusting the orientation of the small reflectors, small reflectors in different orientations can be arranged in a circular array to achieve a closely nested structure, similar to a honeycomb, thereby maximizing the utilization of space.

[0029] The center-to-center distance between the adjacent hexagonal reflectors 2 in the innermost ring is equal, and the inner side of the reflector module reflects light uniformly.

[0030] The center-to-center spacing of the adjacent hexagonal reflectors 2 on the outer ring is not equal. The hexagonal reflectors 2 are arranged in a hexagonal pattern similar to a honeycomb, which improves the uniformity of reflection on the outer side of the reflector module.

[0031] When there are 6 hexagonal reflectors 2 around the hexagonal reflector 2, the outer hexagonal reflectors 2 and the second curve 7 and second straight line 8 adjacent to the central hexagonal reflector 2 form 3 kinds of combinations. Among them, the number of combinations of second straight line 7 + second curve 8 is A, the number of combinations of second straight line 8 + second straight line 8 is B, and the number of combinations of second curve 7 + second curve 7 is C, where A = B + C, thereby improving the uniformity of the overall reflection of the reflector module.

[0032] The reflector module 1 is provided with several hexagonal reflectors 2 arranged in a linear array. Adjacent hexagonal reflectors 2 are arranged in opposite directions to improve the uniformity of the overall reflection of the reflector module.

[0033] The reflector module 1 is provided with several hexagonal reflectors 2 arranged in a rectangular array. The hexagonal reflectors 2 in the upper row and the hexagonal reflectors 2 in the lower row are arranged in opposite directions to improve the uniformity of the overall reflection of the reflector module.

[0034] The reflector module 1 is equipped with a module connection platform 10, which facilitates the installation of the reflector module 1.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
