Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting fixtures, and more particularly to a tunnel light. Background Technology

[0002] Tunnel lights are a type of interesting lighting widely used in commercial displays, interior decoration, and entertainment experiences. Their basic working principle involves using at least two parallel, highly reflective mirrors. By placing a light source (such as LED lights or light strips) between the mirrors, the light undergoes infinite reflections between the parallel mirrors, creating a visually deep "infinite tunnel" effect.

[0003] In related technologies, tunnel lights include a housing, on which two lenses and a light source located between the two lenses are fixedly mounted. To enhance both visual appeal and aesthetics, the housings in these tunnel lights have different shapes; however, simply changing the shape of the housing to improve the aesthetics of a tunnel light has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the aesthetics of tunnel lights, this application provides a tunnel light.

[0005] This application provides a tunnel light, which adopts the following technical solution: A tunnel light includes a housing and at least two lenses. The housing is annular, and a light source and a light-transmitting ring are provided between each pair of adjacent lenses. The light source and the light-transmitting ring are both located in the inner cavity of the housing. The light-transmitting ring is used to refract the light emitted by the light source.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a ring-shaped shell is set up and a light source and a light-transmitting ring are arranged in its inner cavity, and they are positioned between two lenses. The shape and structure of the light-transmitting ring can be customized according to the actual needs of the user. By using the light-transmitting ring to refract the light emitted by the light source, the diffusion effect of the light and the sense of visual layering can be enhanced, making the structure of the "tunnel" seen by the user more diverse, thereby creating a richer and deeper "infinite tunnel" optical effect, significantly improving the aesthetics and visual appeal of the tunnel light.

[0007] Optionally, the light-transmitting ring includes a mounting ring and a light-transmitting element protruding from the inner surface of the mounting ring. The housing includes a base and a cover arranged and fixedly connected along the arrangement direction of the lenses. A placement groove is formed on the surface of the base facing the cover. The placement groove penetrates the inner wall of the base. The placement groove and the cover enclose a placement position for placing the mounting ring and the light source.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the housing is divided into a base and a cover. The placement slot on the base and the cover are used to form a placement position. In the actual assembly process, the light-transmitting ring and the light source are first placed in the placement slot, and then the cover is put on to limit the installation ring and the light source. This allows the installation ring and the light source to be stably and accurately positioned, which simplifies the assembly process, improves the structural stability and production efficiency of the lamp, and ensures that the optical components are aligned to optimize the light effect.

[0009] Optionally, the light-transmitting element is a pyramidal and / or prism structure.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the light-transmitting component adopts a multi-faceted pyramidal and / or multi-faceted prism structure, which can refract and scatter light at multiple angles, producing more complex and dynamic light spot patterns, enhancing the three-dimensionality and visual depth of the light reflection between the mirrors, thereby further improving the decorative and aesthetic appeal of the tunnel light.

[0011] Optionally, multiple light-transmitting elements are provided, and each light-transmitting element is arranged along the inner wall surface of the mounting ring, with different extension lengths for two adjacent light-transmitting elements.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, setting multiple light-transmitting components and arranging them along the inner wall of the mounting ring with different extension lengths, uneven refraction points can be introduced into the light path, so that the light forms more diverse light patterns and changes in brightness during the reflection process, increasing visual complexity and sense of layering, and effectively enhancing the artistic effect and aesthetics of the tunnel lights.

[0013] Optionally, two adjacent light-transmitting elements are staggered in the arrangement direction of the lenses.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjacent light-transmitting components are staggered in the direction of lens arrangement, which can further disrupt the propagation path of light, produce more complex reflection and refraction interactions, enhance the depth and dynamic changes of the "infinite tunnel" effect, and make the light display more vivid and captivating.

[0015] Optionally, the mounting ring has a light-transmitting opening that penetrates the inner and outer walls of the mounting ring, the light-transmitting element has an opening facing the surface of the mounting ring and has an inner cavity, and the opening of the light-transmitting element is connected to the light-transmitting opening.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a light-transmitting opening is made on the mounting ring and the light-transmitting component has an inner cavity that is connected to the light-transmitting opening. This allows light to enter and exit the light-transmitting component from multiple directions, increasing the light propagation path and mixing effect, making the emitted light softer and more uniform, while improving the utilization rate of light and enhancing the overall lighting quality.

[0017] Optionally, the pressure cap has a slot and the base has a block, and / or the pressure cap has a block and the base has a slot, and the pressure cap and the base are connected by the block and the slot.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover and the base are fixed by the snap-fit ​​connection of the clip and the slot, eliminating the need for screws and other fasteners, simplifying the assembly and disassembly process, reducing production costs and assembly time, while ensuring a firm connection and facilitating daily maintenance and replacement of the light-transmitting ring.

[0019] Optionally, the outer wall surface of the gland is provided with protrusions.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, protrusions are set on the outer wall of the gland, providing additional gripping points, making the installation and removal of the gland more convenient and labor-saving, improving the user's ease of operation. At the same time, the protrusions can also be used as a design element to enhance the product's appearance and personality.

[0021] Optionally, the groove wall of the card block and / or card slot is formed with an inclined guide surface, and the distance between the guide surface and the outer wall surface of the housing decreases along the arrangement direction of the cover and the base.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, an inclined guide surface is provided on the groove wall of the card block and / or card slot, and the distance between the guide surface and the outer wall of the housing decreases along the arrangement direction of the cover and the base. This can guide the card block to slide smoothly into the card slot during assembly, reduce alignment difficulties and friction, improve the accuracy and efficiency of assembly, and reduce the risk of component damage.

[0023] Optionally, the groove wall of the card block and / or card slot is formed with an inclined guide surface, and the distance between the guide surface and the outer wall surface of the housing increases along the arrangement direction of the cover and the base.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, an inclined guide surface is provided on the groove wall of the card block and / or card slot, and the distance between the guide surface and the outer wall of the housing increases along the arrangement direction of the cover and the base, making it easier for the card block to be removed from the card slot during disassembly, realizing quick and non-destructive disassembly, and improving the maintainability of the product and the convenience of component replacement.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By using a light-transmitting ring to refract the light emitted by the light source, the diffusion effect of the light and the sense of visual layering can be enhanced, making the structure of the "tunnel" seen by the user more diverse and significantly improving the aesthetics and visual appeal of the tunnel light; 2. The different extension lengths and staggered distribution of each light-transmitting component can introduce uneven refraction points in the light path, making the light form more diverse light patterns and changes in brightness during the reflection process, increasing visual complexity and sense of layering, and effectively enhancing the artistic effect and ornamental value of the tunnel light. 3. The cap and base are fixed by a snap-fit ​​connection of clips and slots, which simplifies the assembly and disassembly process, reduces production costs and assembly time, and ensures a firm connection, making it easy to maintain daily and replace the light-transmitting ring.

[0032] The following combination Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] Example 1: Embodiment 1 of this application discloses a tunnel light. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tunnel light includes a housing 1 and at least two lenses 2, with the housing 1 being annular. A light source 3 and a light-transmitting ring 4 are positioned between each pair of adjacent lenses 2, and both the light source 3 and the light-transmitting ring 4 are located within the inner cavity of the housing 1. The light-transmitting ring 4 refracts the light emitted by the light source 3. This arrangement enhances the diffusion effect of light and the visual depth, diversifying the structure of the "tunnel" as perceived by the user, thereby creating a richer and deeper "infinite tunnel" optical effect, significantly improving the aesthetics and visual appeal of the tunnel light.

[0034] In this embodiment, the lens 2 is made of a light-transmitting material, and only its outline is shown in the accompanying drawings. Two lenses 2 are provided, and one light source 3 and one light-transmitting ring 4 are each provided. The housing 1 is annular. The light source 3 is a surface-mount LED strip, extending in a ring along the inner wall of the housing 1, with the excess portion protruding beyond the housing 1 for connection to a switch. In other embodiments, the light source 3 can be a copper wire LED strip with LED beads, multiple independent LED lights, or even a neon light, etc.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The light-transmitting ring 4 is circular in shape. It includes a mounting ring 41 and a light-transmitting element 42 protruding from the inner surface of the mounting ring 41. The mounting ring 41 is circular in shape and its shape is adapted to the inner cavity of the housing 1. The light-transmitting element 42 extends along a direction close to the central axis of the mounting ring 41. The light-transmitting element 42 and the mounting ring 41 can be manufactured by integral molding or connected by bonding, snap-fit, or other methods. The mounting ring 41 is usually made of transparent or translucent plastic material, such as polycarbonate (PC) or acrylic. These materials have good light transmittance and a certain strength, ensuring that light passes through smoothly and supporting the light-transmitting element 42.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The light-transmitting element 42 can adopt various different structures, such as a pyramidal structure and / or a prism structure. The pyramidal structure of the light-transmitting element 42 can be a triangular pyramid, a square pyramid, etc., and the prism structure can be a triangular prism, a square prism, etc. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting element 42 is a combination of a pyramid and a prism, similar to the structure of an icicle. These multi-faceted structures can refract and scatter light at multiple angles, producing more complex and dynamic light spot patterns, enhancing the three-dimensionality and visual depth of the light reflection between the mirror surfaces. In some special designs, the light-transmitting element 42 can also adopt other irregular three-dimensional structures, as long as they can achieve the effect of light refraction and scattering.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 Multiple light-transmitting elements 42 are provided, and each light-transmitting element 42 is arranged along the inner wall surface of the mounting ring 41, with different extension lengths between two adjacent light-transmitting elements 42. This arrangement can introduce uneven refraction points in the light path, so that the light forms more diverse light patterns and changes in brightness during the reflection process, increasing visual complexity and sense of layering.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 The two adjacent light-transmitting elements 42 are staggered in the arrangement direction of the lens 2, which can further disrupt the propagation path of light, produce more complex reflection and refraction interactions, and enhance the sense of depth and dynamic changes of the "infinite tunnel" effect.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The mounting ring 41 has multiple light-transmitting openings 411 that penetrate both the inner and outer walls of the mounting ring 41, each corresponding to a different light-transmitting element 42. The light-transmitting element 42 has an opening facing the surface of the mounting ring 41 and an inner cavity, with the opening of the light-transmitting element 42 communicating with the light-transmitting opening 411. This allows light to enter and exit the light-transmitting element 42 from multiple directions, increasing the light propagation path and mixing effect, resulting in softer and more uniform light output, while also improving light utilization and enhancing overall lighting quality.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 1 includes a base 11 and a cover 12 arranged and fixedly connected along the arrangement direction of the lenses 2. The base 11 and cover 12 are generally made of plastic or metal, such as aluminum alloy or ABS plastic, which have good strength and durability. A placement groove 111 is formed on the surface of the base 11 facing the cover 12, penetrating the inner wall of the base 11, making the axial cross-section of the base 11 "L". The placement groove 111 and the cover 12 together form a placement position for the mounting ring 41 and the light source 3.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 The base 11 and the cover 12 are fixed by means of adhesive or bolts. One lens 2 is fixed to the axial end face of the base 11 with traceless adhesive, and the other lens 2 is fixed to the axial end face of the cover 12 with traceless adhesive.

[0042] The assembly principle of a tunnel light in Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: First, the light-transmitting ring 4 and the light source 3 are placed in the placement groove 111, then the pressure cover 12 is put on to limit the mounting ring 41 and the light source 3, the pressure cover 12 is glued to the base 11, and finally the lens 2 is glued to the housing 1.

[0043] Example 2: Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Unlike Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the base 11 and the pressure cover 12 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection. A snap-fit ​​block 6 is integrally formed on the base 11, and a slot 5 for inserting the snap-fit ​​block is provided on the pressure cover 12. This snap-fit ​​connection eliminates the need for screws and other fasteners, simplifying the assembly and disassembly process, reducing production costs and assembly time, while ensuring a secure connection. The number of snap-fit ​​blocks 6 and slots 5 can be set according to actual needs, generally multiple, evenly distributed along the edges of the pressure cover 12 and the base 11.

[0044] In other embodiments, the slot 5 can be formed on the base 11, and the locking block 6 can be integrally formed on the cover 12. In other embodiments, the base 11 can be integrally formed with the locking block 6 and the slot 5, and the cover 12 can be integrally formed with the locking block 6 and the slot 5, with the locking block 6 on the base 11 corresponding to the slot 5 on the cover 12, and the slot 5 on the base 11 corresponding to the locking block 6 on the cover 12.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 The groove wall of the card slot 5 is provided with a deformation groove 51 for the card block 6 to be inserted after deformation.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 Both the locking block 6 and the slot 5 have inclined guide surfaces 8 formed on their groove walls. The distance between the guide surface 8 and the outer wall of the housing 1 decreases along the arrangement direction of the pressure cap 12 and the base 11. When assembling the base 11 and the pressure cap 12, the guide surface 8 on the locking block 6 slides against the guide surface 8 on the slot 5, which guides the locking block 6 to slide smoothly into the slot 5, reducing alignment difficulties and friction, improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly, and reducing the risk of component damage.

[0047] In other embodiments, the guide surface 8 may be formed only on the card block 6, or only on the groove wall of the card slot 5.

[0048] Reference Figure 5 Both the locking block 6 and the slot 5 have inclined guide surfaces 9 formed on their groove walls. The distance between the guide surfaces 9 and the outer wall of the housing 1 increases along the arrangement direction of the pressure cap 12 and the base 11. When disassembling the base 11 and the pressure cap 12, the guide surfaces 9 on the locking block 6 and 9 on the slot 5 slide against each other, making it easier for the locking block 6 to be removed from the slot 5. This achieves quick and non-destructive disassembly, improving the maintainability of the product and the convenience of component replacement.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer wall of the pressure cap 12 is integrally formed with a protrusion 7. The protrusion 7 can also be fixed to the pressure cap 12 by means of adhesive or other methods. The protrusion 7 can be made of plastic or rubber. The protrusion 7 provides additional gripping points, making it easier and less strenuous to install and remove the pressure cap 12, improving the convenience of user operation. At the same time, the protrusion 7 can also be used as a design element to enhance the appearance and personality of the product.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
