Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and in particular to a double-sided light-emitting mirror structure, a folding mirror, and a bathroom cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasingly fast pace of modern life and work, users are constantly raising their demands for the functionality and efficiency of bathroom spaces. Bathroom vanities not only need to meet basic storage needs, but are also increasingly being used as a place for makeup application. Therefore, the lighting effect in front of the bathroom mirror has become crucial.
[0003] If the light does not reach the user's face after the mirror door is opened, the user needs to close the mirror door again before the light can reach their face, which undoubtedly brings a bad experience to the user.
[0004] Currently, common bathroom mirror lighting solutions on the market mainly involve installing single-sided luminous strips along the edge of the mirror or frame. These strips provide basic illumination for users applying makeup when the mirror door is closed. However, when users open the mirror door to use the storage space inside, the light cannot effectively illuminate their face, forcing them to frequently close the door to obtain clear lighting. This repeated opening and closing of the mirror door severely disrupts the flow of the makeup process, creating an inconvenient user experience. Utility Model Content

[0022] Wherein, T is the thickness of the light guide plate, W1 is the width of the first light-emitting surface, and W2 is the width of the second light-emitting surface.
[0023] Optionally, the surface of the first light-emitting surface and / or the second light-emitting surface is provided with a plurality of scattering particles, and the distribution density of the scattering particles gradually increases along the direction from near the light source to far away from the light source.
[0024] Optionally, the light-emitting component further includes a packaging material covering the outside of the light guide plate and the light source, wherein the packaging material is a light-transmitting material.

Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a light-emitting component provided in an embodiment of the present utility model, as shown below. Figures 1-4 As shown, the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0045] First border 10.
[0046] The first mirror 11 and the second mirror 12 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the first frame 10 and are both connected to the first frame 10. The first mirror 11, the second mirror 12 and the first frame 10 form a first cavity 13. The first mirror 11 is provided with a first light-transmitting area 110 and the second mirror 12 is provided with a second light-transmitting area 120. The first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120 are disposed opposite to each other.
[0047] The light-emitting component 20 is disposed in the first cavity 13.
[0048] The light-emitting component 20 includes:
[0049] Light source 202.
[0050] The light guide plate 201 includes an incident light surface 31 and an exit light surface 30. The light source 202 is disposed on one side of the incident light surface 31. The light beam emitted by the light source 202 passes through the incident light surface 31 and the exit light surface 30 and is emitted from the first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120.
[0051] Specifically, the first frame 10, as the supporting frame of the entire mirror body, can be assembled by screws from multiple metal profiles (for example, four metal strips connected end to end in sequence) to form a rectangular frame, which has good structural stability and corrosion resistance.
[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first mirror 11 is connected to one end of the inner wall of the first frame 10, and the second mirror 12 is connected to the other end of the inner wall of the first frame 10. The first mirror 11 and the second mirror 12 are arranged opposite to each other, that is, the first mirror 11 and the second mirror 12 are respectively pasted on the front and back of the first frame 10. The first mirror 11 and the second mirror 12 are parallel to each other and are firmly attached to the first frame 10. The first mirror 11, the second mirror 12 and the first frame 10 together form a sealed first cavity 13. The first cavity 13 is used to accommodate and protect the internal optical components, prevent moisture and dust from entering, and improve the product's service life.
[0053] The first mirror 11 has a first light-transmitting area 110, and the second mirror 12 has a second light-transmitting area 120. The first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120 are arranged opposite to each other to ensure that light can pass through efficiently.
[0054] In some embodiments, the first mirror 11 and the second mirror 12 are both made of transparent glass substrates. The surface of the glass substrate is coated with a reflective layer, and transparent windows are formed in specific areas through a local silvering process as the first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120. The remaining areas retain the mirror reflection function, maintain the integrity of the mirror surface, optimize the visual aesthetics, and effectively isolate water vapor, moisture and dust, thereby improving the safety and service life of the product in a high-humidity bathroom environment.
[0055] In some embodiments, the first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120 can be elongated through holes respectively opened on the first mirror 11 and the second mirror 12, with a light-transmitting plate (such as a transparent acrylic plate or a frosted acrylic plate) embedded in the through hole. The light-transmitting plate can be selected with different optical properties according to lighting requirements. For example, if high-brightness lighting is required, a transparent acrylic plate can be used, with a light transmittance of over 90%, maximizing the transmission of light source brightness; if a soft, glare-free diffused effect is required, a frosted acrylic plate or a polycarbonate (PC) plate with a frosted surface can be used, making the emitted light more visually comfortable.
[0056] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the light-emitting component 20 is embedded in the first cavity 13, completely eliminating exposed light strips or LED beads, maintaining the integrity of the mirror surface, and achieving concealed lighting.
[0057] Optionally, the thickness of the first cavity 13 is greater than the thickness of the light-emitting component 20 in the direction from the first mirror 11 to the second mirror 12, so as to ensure that the light-emitting component 20 can be installed smoothly and to avoid crushing the first mirror 11 and the second mirror 12.
[0058] The light-emitting component 20 includes a light guide plate 201 and a light source 202. The light guide plate 201 is made of a material with high light transmittance, such as acrylic (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC).
[0059] The light source 202 may include a row of LED beads and a printed circuit board (PCB) that carries the LED beads. Multiple LED beads are evenly arranged on the PCB substrate along a straight or arc path to form a linear or strip-shaped light-emitting module. The light source 202 is precisely mounted on one side of the light incident surface 31 of the light guide plate 201 to ensure that the light beam emitted by the light source 202 can be efficiently incident on the light incident surface 31.
[0060] In some embodiments, the light source 202 is an LED light strip, which includes multiple LED beads and a resistor element for current limiting protection. The above devices are integrated on a printed circuit board (PCB) to form an independently operable light-emitting module.
[0061] The color of LED beads can be characterized by color temperature (CCT), which can be any value between 2700K and 7000K.
[0062] In some embodiments, the LED beads can adopt a multi-color temperature combination design. For example, dual-color temperature LED beads (such as warm white 3000K + cool white 6500K) can be configured, and the color temperature can be infinitely adjusted within the range of 3000K to 6500K by adjusting the ratio of the driving current of the two types of beads; or, RGBW (red, green, blue, white) or multi-channel LEDs can be used to achieve full-color color changing and white light color temperature adjustment functions. This design allows users to freely switch the light color according to different times, environments, or usage needs. The color changing range can be any color temperature between the highest color temperature (such as 7000K) and the lowest color temperature (such as 2700K), enhancing the personalized experience of the product.
[0063] In some embodiments, the color rendering index (CRI) of each LED bead is greater than 90Ra, preferably above 95Ra. A high CRI can reproduce realistic lighting effects, accurately presenting details such as skin tone, makeup color, and clothing texture, avoiding makeup deviations caused by lighting distortion.
[0064] In some embodiments, to achieve high color rendering, LED chips employ high-quality phosphor formulations (such as nitride red phosphor + silicate green phosphor) and optimize chip packaging processes to improve spectral coverage and continuity.
[0065] The light guide plate 201 has a light incident surface 31, through which the light beam emitted by the light source 202 enters.
[0066] The light guide plate 201 also has a light-emitting surface 30. The light-emitting component 20 is precisely fixed during assembly so that the light-emitting surface 30 of the light guide plate 201 is directly facing the first light-transmitting area 110 on the first mirror 11 and the second light-transmitting area 120 on the second mirror 12.
[0067] In this embodiment, the light beam emitted by the light source 202 is guided by the optical path inside the light guide plate 201, and then emitted from the light-emitting surface 30. It passes directly through the corresponding first light-transmitting area 110 and second light-transmitting area 120 to emit outward, forming the illumination effect of the front and back of the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure.
[0068] It should be noted that the light-emitting component 20 is structurally designed to match the shape and size of the first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120, and its light-emitting range completely covers the light-transmitting area of the light-transmitting area to ensure that the light can be uniformly and efficiently transmitted through the mirror.
[0069] In some embodiments, two first light-transmitting areas 110 are provided on the first mirror 11, and two corresponding second light-transmitting areas 120 are provided on the second mirror. The two first light-transmitting areas 110 can be disposed on the left and right edge areas of the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure, distributed vertically in a strip shape along the height direction of the mirror surface. Similarly, the two second light-transmitting areas 120 are symmetrically disposed on the left and right sides of the second mirror 12, corresponding one-to-one with the positions of the first light-transmitting areas 110. Two light-emitting components 20 are correspondingly disposed within the first cavity 13 formed by the first frame 10. During installation, the two light-emitting components 20 are fixed inside the first cavity 13 of the mirror body, with their light-emitting surfaces 30 facing the first light-transmitting areas 110 and the second light-transmitting areas 120, ensuring that light can directly pass through the light-transmitting areas and be emitted outward. This double-sided layout avoids the facial shadow problem caused by single-sided lighting. The light beam is evenly emitted from the left and right sides of the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure, forming a surround lighting effect, reducing facial shadows, and improving the uniformity of light and the quality of makeup lighting when looking in the mirror.
[0070] It should be noted that the light-transmitting areas (such as the first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120) on the first mirror 11 and the second mirror 12 can be set to one or more as needed. Each light-transmitting area is configured with one or shares one light-emitting component 20. When multiple light-emitting components 20 are set, each light-emitting component 20 is installed independently but functions collaboratively.
[0071] In some embodiments, to simplify wiring and improve safety and aesthetics, multiple light-emitting components 20 are connected in parallel. Specifically, the light sources 202 in each light-emitting component 20 are connected to the same power supply in parallel via wires. The parallel circuit ensures that all light-emitting components 20 operate at the same voltage, avoiding uneven voltage drop and brightness differences caused by series connection. All parallel lines are ultimately combined into a set of power leads, which are led out from the first frame 10 and connected to an external power supply. This design reduces the number of external power leads. Even if multiple light-emitting components 20 are integrated inside the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure, only one power line is needed, avoiding the safety hazards caused by multiple exposed wires.
[0072] Furthermore, in the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure, the light beam emitted by the light-emitting component 20 can be divided into primary illumination light and secondary illumination light according to the light output direction and functional positioning, respectively serving different usage states and user needs of the mirror door.
[0073] For example, when the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure serves as a mirror door, a portion of the light beam emitted from the light-emitting surface 30 is emitted outward through the first light-transmitting area 110. This direction corresponds to the outer mirror (i.e., the first mirror 11) when the mirror door is closed or in the external use state. This beam serves as the primary illumination light, directly illuminating the front of the user's face, providing high-brightness, high-color-rendering frontal illumination. Another portion of the light beam emitted from the light-emitting surface 30 is emitted outward through the second light-transmitting area 120. This direction corresponds to the inner mirror (i.e., the second mirror 12) when the mirror door is open and in the internal use state. This beam serves as the secondary illumination light, mainly used for auxiliary illumination of the user's face after the mirror door is opened.
[0074] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, part of the light beam emitted by the light source 202 is refracted by the incident light surface 31, and its light path is guided to the exit light surface 30. Among the light beams emitted through the exit light surface 30, the light beam emitted outward through the first light-transmitting area 110 forms the main front illumination light, and the light beam emitted outward through the second light-transmitting area 120 forms the auxiliary back illumination light.
[0075] In summary, the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure provided by this utility model embodiment achieves the effect of simultaneous light emission from both sides by setting a light-emitting component within the first cavity formed by the first mirror, the second mirror, and the first frame, and designing the light source and light guide plate structure of the light-emitting component. Specifically, when the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure is closed as a mirror door, the light beam passes through the first light-transmitting area, providing the main illumination for the outer mirror (i.e., the first mirror), allowing the user to obtain sufficient lighting for looking in the mirror or applying makeup. When the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure is opened as a mirror door, the light beam can also be emitted outward through the second light-transmitting area, providing continuous auxiliary illumination for the inner mirror (i.e., the second mirror), allowing the user to still obtain sufficient lighting in front of the inner mirror (i.e., the second mirror), avoiding the problem of lighting interruption caused by opening the door, improving the unpleasant experience of frequently opening and closing the mirror door, and enhancing ease of use. Furthermore, this double-sided light-emitting mirror structure is simple in design, low in cost, and can meet the requirements of industrial production.
[0076] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, the light-emitting surface 30 includes a first light-emitting surface 33 and a second light-emitting surface 34 that are disposed opposite to each other.
[0077] The light guide plate 201 also includes a reflective surface 32 opposite to the light incident surface 31.
[0078] The light-incident surface 31 is connected to one end of the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34, and the reflective surface 32 is connected to the other end of the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34.
[0079] The first light-emitting surface 33 is positioned opposite to the first light-transmitting area 110, and the second light-emitting surface 34 is positioned opposite to the second light-transmitting area 120.
[0080] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the light-incident surface 31 of the light guide plate 201 has a first light-emitting surface 33 and a second light-emitting surface 34 arranged opposite to each other. The light-emitting component 20 is precisely fixed during assembly so that the first light-emitting surface 33 of the light guide plate 201 faces the first light-transmitting area 110 on the first mirror 11, and the second light-emitting surface 34 faces the second light-transmitting area 120 on the second mirror 12. In this way, it is ensured that more light emitted from the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34 can pass through the first light-transmitting area 110 on the first mirror 11, which is beneficial to improving the utilization efficiency of light and the uniformity of illumination.
[0081] The light guide plate 201 also has a reflective surface 32 disposed opposite to the light incident surface 31. The reflective surface 32 can be a vertical plane, an inclined plane, or a micro-arc surface structure. A high-reflectivity reflective film can be applied to the reflective surface 32 by pasting, spraying, or vacuum coating processes. The reflective film can be made of materials such as white polyethylene terephthalate (PET) reflective film, aluminum foil reflective sheet, or multilayer dielectric reflective coating, and its reflectivity is usually greater than 90%, preferably reaching more than 95%, in order to minimize light energy loss.
[0082] In this embodiment, the light beam emitted by the light source 202 is guided by the optical path inside the light guide plate 201 and then emitted from the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34 respectively, and directly passes through the corresponding first light-transmitting area 110 or the second light-transmitting area 120 to emit outward, forming the illumination effect of the front and back of the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure.
[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a portion of the light beam emitted by the light source 202 (e.g., the first light beam 41) is refracted by the light-incident surface 31, and its light path is directly guided to the first light-out surface 33. Finally, it is emitted outward through the first light-transmitting area 110 to form the main illumination light on the front.
[0084] Part of the light beam emitted by the light source 202 (e.g., the second light beam 42) is refracted by the incident light surface 31 and then directed to the reflecting surface 32. After being reflected by the reflecting surface 32, it is then transmitted to the first light-emitting surface 33 and emitted through the first light-transmitting area 110 as a supplement to the main illumination light. The recycling of this part of the light beam further enhances the brightness of the main illumination light.
[0085] Part of the light beam emitted by the light source 202 (e.g., the third light beam 43) is refracted by the light incident surface 31 and directly guided to the second light emitting surface 34, and emitted outward through the second light transmission area 120 to form the back auxiliary illumination light.
[0086] The reflective surface 32 reflects the light energy that might otherwise escape from the end of the light guide plate 201 back into the light guide plate 201 for secondary use, reducing the waste of light energy and improving the light efficiency of the entire double-sided light-emitting mirror structure.
[0087] Optional, such as Figure 2 As shown, along the extension direction of the optical axis 2020 of the light source 202, the width of the first light-emitting surface 33 is W1, and the width of the second light-emitting surface 34 is W2, where W1 > W2.
[0088] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, along the extension direction of the optical axis 2020 of the light source 202, the width W1 of the first light-emitting surface 33 is set to be greater than the width W2 of the second light-emitting surface 34. Under the premise that the dimensions in the height direction are the same, the light-emitting area of the first light-emitting surface 33 can be made larger than the light-emitting area of the second light-emitting surface 34. In this case, the light-emitting area of the first light-emitting surface 33 is larger, allowing more light beams to be emitted from it. With this configuration, when using the external mirror (with the mirror door closed), the user can obtain high brightness and wide-range illumination to complete fine operations such as makeup and shaving; while when using the internal mirror (with the mirror door open), it can meet the needs of operations with lower lighting requirements, such as retrieving items or quick grooming.
[0089] This embodiment achieves the proportional distribution of the main front illumination light and the auxiliary rear illumination light by using the width difference between the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34. It guides the light beam to be output to the main illumination side first, which conforms to the user's usage logic, realizes on-demand lighting and reasonable allocation of light sources, and helps to improve overall energy efficiency.
[0090] It is understood that by adjusting the widths of the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34, the illumination intensity on both sides of the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure can be flexibly controlled. The wider the light-emitting surface, the more light flux is allowed to escape from it. The specific widths of the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34 can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, along the extension direction of the optical axis 2020 of the light source 202, the width of the first light-emitting surface 33 is W1, and the width of the second light-emitting surface 34 is W2, where W1 = W2. This configuration, with consistent dimensions in the height direction, ensures that the light-emitting area of the first light-emitting surface 33 is equal to that of the second light-emitting surface 34. This guarantees that both the first and second light-emitting surfaces 33 and 34 can output light of the same brightness. Consequently, when using the external mirror (when the mirror door is closed) or the internal mirror (when the mirror door is open), the perceived lighting brightness is consistent, eliminating abrupt changes in light caused by structural position variations and providing a consistent and comfortable user experience.
[0092] Optional, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, along the extension direction of the optical axis 2020 of the light source 202, the width of the first light-transmitting area 110 is W3, and the width of the second light-transmitting area 120 is W4, where W3 > W4.
[0093] In order to enhance the visual difference between the main lighting effect of the first light-emitting surface 33 and the auxiliary lighting effect of the second light-emitting surface 34, the dimensions of the first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120 are designed differently.
[0094] Specifically, measurements are taken along the extension direction of the optical axis 2020 of the light source 202, and the width W3 of the first light-transmitting area 110 on the first mirror 11 is set to be greater than the width W4 of the second light-transmitting area 120 on the second mirror 12. The wider first light-transmitting area W3 allows more light beams to exit from the first light-emitting surface 33, while the narrower second light-transmitting area W4 limits the luminous flux exiting from the second light-emitting surface 34, making the brightness contrast between the main illumination light and the auxiliary illumination light more significant and controllable.
[0095] In this embodiment, the width difference between the first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120 is used to achieve the proportional distribution of the main front lighting light and the auxiliary back lighting light, guiding the light beam to be output to the main lighting side first, which conforms to the user's usage logic, realizes on-demand lighting and reasonable allocation of light sources, and is conducive to improving overall energy efficiency.
[0096] It should be noted that, assuming the dimensions in the height direction are consistent, the width W3 of the first light-transmitting area 110 is greater than the width W4 of the second light-transmitting area 120. This allows the light-emitting area of the first light-transmitting area 110 to be larger than that of the second light-transmitting area 120. In this case, the larger light-emitting area of the first light-transmitting area 110 allows more light beams to exit from it. Thus, when using the external mirror (with the mirror door closed), the user can obtain high-brightness, wide-range illumination for fine operations such as makeup and shaving; while when using the internal mirror (with the mirror door open), it can meet the needs of operations with lower lighting requirements, such as retrieving items or quick grooming.
[0097] In some embodiments, the width W3 of the first light-transmitting area 110 is equal to the width W4 of the second light-transmitting area 120, i.e., W3 = W4. This configuration allows the first light-transmitting area 110 and the second light-transmitting area 120 to output light of the same brightness. When the user uses the outer mirror (when the mirror door is closed) or the inner mirror (when the mirror door is open), the perceived lighting brightness is consistent, eliminating abrupt changes in light caused by structural position variations and providing a consistent and comfortable user experience.
[0098] Optionally, along the extending direction of the optical axis 2020 of the light source 202, the width of the first light-transmitting area 110 is smaller than the width of the first light-emitting surface 33. Along the extending direction of the optical axis 2020 of the light source 202, the width of the second light-transmitting area 120 is smaller than the width of the second light-emitting surface 34.
[0099] By setting the width of the first light-transmitting area 110 to be smaller than the width of the first light-emitting surface 33, and the width of the first light-transmitting area 110 to be smaller than the width of the first light-emitting surface 33, even if the light-emitting component 20 has a slight offset during the assembly process, its first light-emitting surface 33 can still cover the first light-transmitting area 110, and its second light-emitting surface 34 can still cover the second light-transmitting area 120, thereby ensuring normal light emission and improving the fault tolerance rate and yield rate of production assembly.
[0100] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the reflecting surface 32 and the first light-emitting surface 33 is θ, where 30°≤θ≤55°.
[0101] Specifically, an angle θ is formed between the reflective surface 32 and the first light-emitting surface 33. If the angle θ is too small, the tilt of the reflective surface 32 will become too gentle, causing the second beam 42 to strike the first light-emitting surface 33 at a small angle after reflection. This can easily create overly bright local spots in the area of the first light-emitting surface 33 near the reflective surface 32, affecting the uniformity of light emission and thus the effect of makeup lighting. If the angle θ is too large, the tilt of the reflective surface 32 will become too steep, causing part of the second beam 42 to have its light path pointing downwards after reflection. This may bypass the intended first light-emitting surface 33 and strike or leak onto the second light-emitting surface 34, reducing the luminous efficacy of the main illumination light and potentially causing the auxiliary illumination light to be too bright, affecting the preset dual-sided brightness ratio.
[0102] In this embodiment, the included angle θ is set within the range of 30° to 55° to promote the mixing and diffusion of the light beam within the light guide plate 201, thereby eliminating local bright spots and achieving a uniform and soft light output effect. Simultaneously, it ensures that all reflected light is reliably guided to the first light-emitting surface 33, maintaining the desired light field distribution. At this time, the second light beam 42, after being refracted by the second curved surface 312 and directed towards the reflecting surface 32, can be reflected back to the first light-emitting surface 33 at the most effective angle, ensuring that the second light beam 42 can efficiently merge into the main illumination light, thereby significantly enhancing the overall brightness and luminous efficiency of the first light-emitting surface 33.
[0103] Optional, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the angle between the reflective surface 32 and the first light-emitting surface 33 is θ, where θ = arctan(T / (W1-W2)), T is the thickness of the light guide plate 201, W1 is the width of the first light-emitting surface 33, and W2 is the width of the second light-emitting surface 34.
[0104] By adjusting the angle of the reflecting surface 32, the second light beam 42 incident on the reflecting surface 32 from the second curved surface 312 can be guided to the expected light-emitting area of the first light-emitting surface 33 with a better reflection angle. This angle θ achieves a better match between the reflected light path and the geometric boundary of the light guide plate 201, reducing energy loss caused by multiple unnecessary reflections within the light guide plate 201, thereby maximizing the light efficiency. Simultaneously, the angle θ calculated using the above formula effectively prevents the second light beam 42 from being directed towards the second light-emitting surface 34 or other unintended areas after reflection due to improper angle, ensuring precise beam control and maintaining the preset brightness ratio. Furthermore, directly linking the angle θ to the structural parameters (T, W1, W2) of the light guide plate 201 provides a theoretical basis for mass production, ensuring the stability of the optical performance of different production batches.
[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the reflective surface 32 is perpendicular to the optical axis 2020, meaning it is a plane at a 90-degree angle to the main direction of light propagation (i.e., the optical axis 2020). This provides consistent reflection conditions for light arriving from different positions, preventing differences in the light-emitting efficiency of the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34 due to variations in the angle of the reflective surface 32 itself. This configuration ensures that the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34 can output light of the same brightness. When using the outer mirror (when the mirror door is closed) or the inner mirror (when the mirror door is open), the user perceives consistent lighting brightness, eliminating abrupt changes in light caused by structural position variations and providing a consistent and comfortable user experience.
[0106] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, the surfaces of the first light-emitting surface 33 and / or the second light-emitting surface 34 are provided with a plurality of scattering particles 50, and the distribution density of the scattering particles 50 gradually increases along the direction from near the light source 202 to far away from the light source 202.
[0107] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to further improve the uniformity of light output and avoid the phenomenon that the side closer to the light source 202 is too bright and the side farther away from the light source 202 is too dark, a plurality of micron-sized scattering particles 50 are provided on the surface of the first light-emitting surface 33 and / or the second light-emitting surface 34.
[0108] In some embodiments, the scattering particles 50 can be formed by processes such as laser dotting, micro-injection molding or surface etching. The scattering particles 50 can be tiny protrusions, depressions or irregular structures, and their specific shape is not limited. The key is that they can scatter light beams.
[0109] When light is transmitted to the scattering particles 50, it will be scattered. The greater the density of the scattering particles 50, the higher the probability of reflection and scattering, thereby controlling the uniformity of the emitted light.
[0110] Specifically, the scattering particles 50 are not uniformly distributed, but follow a specific density gradient. Specifically, the distribution of scattering particles 50 is relatively sparse in the region near the light source 202, while the distribution density of scattering particles 50 gradually increases as the position moves away from the light source 202.
[0111] In this process, the light emitted from the light source 202 naturally attenuates with increasing distance as it travels through the light guide plate 201, resulting in brighter areas closer to the light source 202 and darker areas farther away. By setting scattering particles 50 with gradually varying density, in the near-light source area with strong light, fewer scattering particles 50 are used to emit the light, retaining most of the light intensity; in the far-light source area with weak light, denser scattering particles 50 scatter more light from within the light guide plate 201, thereby compensating for the brightness at the far end. Ultimately, this achieves a visually uniform brightness across the entire light-emitting surface, thus avoiding uneven lighting on the face and providing a better visual experience.
[0112] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, the light-emitting component 20 also includes a packaging material 203 covering the outside of the light guide plate 201 and the light source 202, and the material of the packaging material 203 is a light-transmitting material.
[0113] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the packaging material 203 serves as an encapsulation component, enclosing the assembled light guide plate 201 and light source 202 within it. The packaging material 203 tightly secures the light guide plate 201, light source 202, and other possible optical films (such as reflective films) together, forming a stable and integrated light-emitting module. This prevents internal components from loosening or shifting due to vibration or handling, improving structural reliability and durability. Simultaneously, it effectively blocks the intrusion of dust and moisture, making it particularly suitable for humid environments such as bathrooms, and helping to extend the lifespan of the light-emitting component 20.
[0114] In some embodiments, the packaging material 203 is made of a light-transmitting and diffusing material, such as a diffusing light-transmitting plastic film. When the light beam is emitted from the first light-emitting surface 33 and the second light-emitting surface 34 of the light guide plate 201, it will pass through the packaging material 203. The packaging material 203 can perform secondary diffusion and homogenization on the transmitted light beam, further softening the light and eliminating possible tiny bright spots or the imaging of dots on the light guide plate 201, making the light emission effect more uniform.
[0115] Optional, such as Figure 4As shown, the incident surface 31 includes a first curved surface 311, a second curved surface 312, and a third curved surface 313 connected in sequence. The light beam emitted by the light source 202 includes a first beam 41, a second beam 42, and a third beam 43. The first beam 41 is refracted by the first curved surface 311 and then directed toward the first emitting surface 33. The second beam 42 is refracted by the second curved surface 312 and then directed toward the reflecting surface 32, and then reflected by the reflecting surface 32 before being directed toward the first emitting surface 33. The third beam 43 is refracted by the third curved surface 313 and then directed toward the second emitting surface 34.
[0116] In this embodiment, the light-incident surface 31 can be a composite curved surface, which is composed of a first curved surface 311, a second curved surface 312, and a third curved surface 313 that are seamlessly connected in sequence. The first curved surface 311, the second curved surface 312, and the third curved surface 313 can be non-circular free-form surfaces with different curvatures designed independently. Their core function is to accurately split and guide the light beams of different angles emitted by the light source 202.
[0117] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the first beam 41 emitted by the light source 202 is refracted by the first curved surface 311, and its light path is directly guided to the first light-emitting surface 33. Finally, it is emitted outward through the first light-transmitting area 110 to form the main illumination light on the front.
[0118] The second beam 42 emitted by the light source 202 is refracted by the second curved surface 312 and then directed to the reflecting surface 32. After being reflected by the reflecting surface 32, it is then transmitted to the first light-emitting surface 33 and emitted through the first light-transmitting area 110 as a supplement to the main illumination light. The recycling of this part of the beam further enhances the brightness of the main illumination light.
[0119] The third beam 43 emitted by the light source 202 is refracted by the third curved surface 313 and directly guided to the second light-emitting surface 34, and emitted outward through the second light-transmitting area 120 to form the back auxiliary illumination light.
[0120] Optionally, the first curved surface 311, the second curved surface 312, and the third curved surface 313 are arranged sequentially on the incident surface 31 along the direction from the first light-emitting surface 33 to the second light-emitting surface 34. The light emission angle range of the light source 202 corresponding to the first curved surface 311 is α1, the light emission angle range of the light source 202 corresponding to the second curved surface 312 is α2, and the light emission angle range of the light source 202 corresponding to the third curved surface 313 is α3, where α1≥α3≥α2.
[0121] Specifically, the first surface 311, the second surface 312, and the third surface 313 are respectively responsible for receiving and regulating the light beam emitted by the light source 202 within a specific angle range, wherein:
[0122] The first curved surface 311 is configured to receive a light beam with an emission angle range of α1 and directly refract it to the first light-emitting surface 33 to form the main illumination light. The light extraction efficiency can be improved and energy loss reduced by adjusting the shape of the first curved surface 311 (e.g., by using a microprism structure).
[0123] The second curved surface 312 is configured to receive a light beam with an emission angle range of α2 and refract it to the reflecting surface 32. After being reflected by the reflecting surface 32, the light beam is finally directed toward the first emission surface 33 to supplement the front illumination intensity of the main illumination light.
[0124] The third surface 313 is configured to receive a light beam with an emission angle range of α3 and directly refract it to the second emission surface 34 to form an auxiliary illumination light.
[0125] To ensure that the brightness of the first light-emitting surface 33 is greater than that of the second light-emitting surface 34, the following settings are adopted: α1 ≥ α3 ≥ α2. Specifically, by allocating the largest light-emitting angle range α1 to the light path directly leading to the first light-emitting surface 33, and allocating the smallest angle range α2 to the light path requiring reflection and with relatively lower luminous efficiency, while ensuring that the angle range α3 leading to the second light-emitting surface 34 falls between the two, the ratio of luminous flux allocated to the first and second light-emitting surfaces 33 can be controlled. This ensures that the light energy (the sum of direct and indirect light) received by the first light-emitting surface 33 is greater than that received by the second light-emitting surface 34, achieving the effect that the intensity of the primary illumination light is greater than that of the auxiliary illumination light, providing users with a clear sense of primary and secondary lighting. When using the external mirror (with the mirror door closed), users can obtain high-brightness lighting for fine operations such as makeup and shaving; while when using the internal mirror (with the mirror door open), it can meet the needs of operations with lower lighting requirements, such as retrieving items or quick grooming. This achieves on-demand lighting and reasonable allocation of light sources, which is beneficial to improving overall energy efficiency.
[0126] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, taking a light emission angle range of 180° for light source 202 as an example, in polar coordinates, with the optical axis of light source 202 as the 0° reference, its light emission angle range covers -90° to +90°. α1=90°, α2=30°, and α3=60° can be set. Under this configuration, approximately 90° / 180°=1 / 2 of the total luminous flux emitted by light source 202 is directly transmitted to the first light emission surface 33 through the first curved surface 311; approximately 30° / 180°=1 / 6 of the light energy is indirectly transmitted to the first light emission surface 33 after being reflected by the reflecting surface 32 through the second curved surface 312; and approximately 60° / 180°=1 / 3 of the light energy is distributed to the second light emission surface 34 through the third curved surface 313.
[0127] At this time, as Figure 4As shown, the first beam 41 emitted by the light source 202 with an emission angle in the range of -90° to 0° is incident on the first curved surface 311. In this region, the beam has a large incident angle (far from the normal direction). After being refracted by the first curved surface 311, most of the beam enters the light guide plate 201 at a smaller propagation angle and is guided to the first light-emitting surface 33. Finally, it is emitted through the first light-transmitting area 110 to form the main illumination light.
[0128] The second beam 42, emitted by the light source 202 with an emission angle ranging from 0° to +30°, is incident on the second curved surface 312. In this region, the beam is nearly perpendicular to the normal direction, exhibiting strong penetrating power. After refraction by the second curved surface 312, the beam propagates to the reflecting surface 32. Reflected by the reflecting surface 32, it is redirected to the first light-emitting surface 33, supplementing the frontal illumination intensity of the main illumination light. This arrangement avoids the waste caused by the central strong light directly passing through the light guide plate 201, further enhancing the brightness of the main illumination light.
[0129] A third beam 43, emitted by light source 202 with an exit angle ranging from +30° to +90°, is incident on the third curved surface 313. This portion of the beam has a relatively large angle; after refraction by the third curved surface 313, the third beam 43 is directly guided to the second light-emitting surface 34 and finally exits through the second light-transmitting area 120, forming auxiliary illumination. This portion of the luminous flux is moderate, ensuring sufficient illumination for the inner mirror without being too bright and interfering with the main lighting function.
[0130] The specific angle values of α1, α3 and α2 can be flexibly adjusted and optimized according to the brightness ratio between the main lighting light and the auxiliary lighting light. This embodiment of the utility model does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0131] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model also provides a folding mirror. Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a folding mirror provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the folding mirror includes:
[0132] The second border is 60.
[0133] The third mirror 61 and the fourth mirror 62 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the second frame 60 and are both connected to the second frame 60.
[0134] The folding mirror also includes the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure 70 provided in any of the above embodiments, wherein the first frame 10 and the second frame 60 of the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure 70 are hinged together. The double-sided light-emitting mirror structure 70 of this embodiment has two sets of first cavities and two sets of light-emitting components, i.e., the first mirror and the second mirror each have two light-emitting areas, thereby ensuring the brightness of the light source. Therefore, the folding mirror provided in this embodiment of the present invention has the technical effects of the technical solutions in any of the above embodiments. Explanations of structures and terms that are the same as or corresponding to those in the above embodiments will not be repeated here.
[0135] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second frame 60 serves as the supporting frame for the entire mirror body. It can be assembled from multiple metal profiles (for example, four metal strips connected end to end in sequence) by screws to form a rectangular frame, which has good structural stability and corrosion resistance.
[0136] Furthermore, the third mirror 61 is connected to one end of the inner wall of the second frame 60, and the fourth mirror 62 is connected to the other end of the inner wall of the second frame 60. The third mirror 61 and the fourth mirror 62 are arranged opposite to each other. That is, the third mirror 61 and the fourth mirror 62 are pasted on the front and back of the second frame 60 respectively. The third mirror 61 and the fourth mirror 62 are parallel to each other and are firmly connected to the second frame 60. The above structure makes the folding door form a double-sided mirror structure.
[0137] The specific construction of the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure 70 can be referred to the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
[0138] In this embodiment, the first frame 10 and the second frame 60 of the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure 70 are hinged together, which can realize a folding and opening design. This not only saves space, but also allows the folding mirror to be flipped according to the user's needs, so that the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure 70 is closer to the user. The light on the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure 70 also gets closer to the user as the folding mirror is flipped, thereby providing the user with sufficient lighting and expanding the spatial flexibility of looking in the mirror and applying makeup.
[0139] Optional, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the third mirror 61, the fourth mirror 62, and the second frame 60 form a second cavity (not shown in the figure).
[0140] A hinge 80 is provided between the first frame 10 and the second frame 60.
[0141] The light source is connected to a power cord, which passes through the first frame 10, the hinge 80 and the second frame 60 in sequence, extends into the second cavity, and extends out from the side of the second frame 60 away from the first frame 10 to connect to the power source.
[0142] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first frame 10 and the second frame 60 are hinged together by the hinge 80.
[0143] In some embodiments, the hinge 80 may be a pin (or pivot, axle bolt) to achieve stable and smooth relative rotation between the first frame 10 and the second frame 60.
[0144] It should be noted that the type of hinge 80 is not limited to a pin; it can be any connecting component commonly found in the art that can achieve a hinge function. For example, hinge 80 can also be a hinge, a chain, or other functionally equivalent rotating connection structure, and those skilled in the art can flexibly choose according to actual needs.
[0145] Furthermore, in the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure, the power line is led out from the light source of the light-emitting component. The power line first passes through the first frame 10, then through the internal channel of the hinge 80 (e.g., a hollow pivot), then enters and passes through the second frame 60, and finally extends into the second cavity formed by the third mirror 61, the fourth mirror 62, and the second frame 60. The power line 90 extends within the second cavity and finally exits from the side of the second frame 60 away from the hinge side (i.e., away from the first frame 10) to connect to an external power source fixed to a wall or cabinet.
[0146] It should be noted that when the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure is provided with multiple light-emitting components, the multiple light-emitting components are connected in parallel through power lines in the first cavity. Then, the bus connecting the multiple power lines passes through the first frame 10, the hinge 80 and the second frame 60 in sequence and extends into the second cavity, and extends out from the side of the second frame 60 away from the first frame 10 to connect with the power supply.
[0147] In this embodiment, the power cord is completely hidden inside the frame and hinge, avoiding tangling and improving aesthetics.
[0148] Meanwhile, the power cord is properly stored and secured inside the hinge 80, which can prevent it from being squeezed, worn or pulled during repeated opening and closing, reducing the risk of short circuits and open circuits, and improving the safety and service life of the product.
[0149] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model also provides a bathroom cabinet. Figure 7 and Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of a bathroom cabinet provided for an embodiment of this utility model is shown below. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the bathroom vanity includes:
[0150] The cabinet is 90mm wide and has a mounting surface.
[0151] The mirror door 91 is hinged to one edge of the mounting surface.
[0152] In any of the above embodiments, the second frame 60 of the folding mirror 100 is hinged to the opposite edge of the mounting surface on the side away from the first frame 10.
[0153] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, cabinet 90 contains storage space. As the main storage structure, its front has a mounting surface for installing mirror door 91 and folding mirror 100.
[0154] The mirror door 91 is a single-sided door that can be opened and closed, and its front is usually also a mirror. One edge of the mirror door 91 is hinged to one edge of the mounting surface (for example, the left or right side) by a hinge, and it can be opened and closed like a regular cabinet door. When the mirror door 91 is closed, it covers the internal storage space of the cabinet 90, and serves to prevent dust and water. When the mirror door 91 is open, the user can take out and put in toiletries, cosmetics and other items.
[0155] The specific structure of the folding mirror 100 can be referred to any of the above embodiments. The bathroom cabinet provided by this utility model embodiment has the technical effects of the technical solution in any of the above embodiments. The explanations of the same or corresponding structures and terms as those in the above embodiments will not be repeated here.
[0156] Furthermore, the folding mirror 100 is hinged to the opposite edge of the mounting surface, opposite the hinge position of the mirror door 91, on the side of its second frame 60 away from the first frame 10 (i.e., the side not connected to the double-sided light-emitting mirror structure 70). The folding mirror 100 can be connected to the mounting surface in an "outward folding" or "inward folding" manner, forming an unfoldable mirror assembly structure independent of the mirror door 91.
[0157] The folding mirror 100 and mirror door 91 are hinged to both sides of the cabinet body 90, forming a symmetrical opening and closing structure and improving spatial harmony. Users can use the double-sided luminous mirror structure 70 and mirror door 91 simultaneously, or fold them up for storage to save space.
[0158] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, the folding mirror 100 is hinged to the mounting surface of the cabinet 90 through one or more hinges 81, so that the folding mirror 100 can be opened, closed and rotated relative to the cabinet 90.
[0159] It should be noted that the hinge 81 mentioned above is a general component used to connect the cabinet 90 and the folding mirror 100. Its specific type can be a hinge, a damping hinge or any other rotating connection mechanism with equivalent function. This utility model does not limit this.
[0160] In some embodiments, the width of the mirror door 91 is greater than the width of the folding mirror 100, but it is not limited to this. The mirror door 91, as the main mirror surface of the bathroom cabinet and a door that is opened frequently, has a larger width that conforms to user habits and visual expectations, making it the visual focus of the space while maintaining a simple and elegant appearance, suitable for users to observe their overall attire and appearance. The folding mirror 100, as an auxiliary mirror structure, is installed on one side of the mirror door 91, allowing users to unfold or fold it as needed. The folding mirror 100 is narrower, providing more mirror angles within a limited space.
[0161] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the front of the mirror door 91 is a mirror, and a back mirror 901 is also fixed (e.g., pasted) on the side of the cabinet 90 facing away from the wall. With this arrangement, the mirror on the front of the mirror door 91, the back mirror 901 of the cabinet 90, and the multiple mirrors on the folding mirror 100 can provide users with multiple directions of reflection. By tilting the folding mirror 100, users can create various combinations and reflection angles with the mirror on the front of the mirror door 91 and the back mirror 901, thus easily observing the sides and back of the head, which are difficult to achieve with traditional fixed mirrors, and realizing a more flexible multi-angle reflection method.
[0162] In some embodiments, when both the folding mirror 100 and the mirror door 91 are closed, the mirror surface of the third mirror 61 of the folding mirror is flush with the mirror surface of the mirror door 91. When the two mirror surfaces are flush in the closed state, misalignment gaps are eliminated, resulting in a seamless overall mirror effect, which improves aesthetics.
[0163] It should be noted that the integrated light-emitting component on the folding mirror 100 makes the lighting independent of the opening and closing state of the mirror door 91. Specifically, when the mirror door 91 is closed, the light on the folding mirror 100 can provide illumination. When the mirror door 91 is open, the light on the folding mirror 100 remains effective and can work in conjunction with the back mirror 901 of the cabinet 90 exposed after the mirror door 91 is opened, providing sufficient lighting for the user while retrieving or placing items.
[0164] The specific embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
