[0023] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intermediary element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0026] An embodiment of this utility model provides an ambient light for musical instruments, comprising:

[0027] Light source 100;

[0028] The light guide plate 200 includes a vertical part 210 and a horizontal part 220 connected together. The light source 100 is connected to one end of the horizontal part 220. The bottom of the horizontal part 220 is provided with optical dots. The top surface of the vertical part 210 is the light-emitting surface 230.

[0029] The reflector 300 is connected to the bottom of the transverse portion 220.

[0030] The light source 100 is the light-emitting component of the ambient light, providing light energy for the entire lamp. It can be a common light-emitting element such as LED beads, which has advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, and long lifespan, and can emit light of different colors to create a rich color atmosphere for musical instruments. The light guide plate 200 plays a role in guiding the propagation of light. It consists of a vertical part 210 and a horizontal part 220. This structural design allows light to enter from one end of the horizontal part 220, and then be evenly propagated to the light-emitting surface 230 of the vertical part 210 by the guidance of optical dots. The setting of optical dots can break the condition of total internal reflection, guide the light to be evenly emitted from the front of the light guide plate 200, effectively control the direction and intensity of light propagation, and make the light more evenly distributed on the entire light guide plate 200, avoiding local over-brightness or under-brightness, thereby achieving a good lighting effect. The reflector 300 is connected to the bottom of the horizontal part 220 of the light guide plate 200, and its main function is to reflect light. When light enters the light guide plate 200 from the light source 100, some light may propagate downwards. The reflector 300 can reflect this light back into the light guide plate 200, improving light utilization and enhancing the brightness of the light-emitting surface 230. It also helps to further even out the light distribution, making the overall lighting effect of the lamp more uniform and softer. Through the design of the light guide plate 200 and reflector 300, uniform light distribution can be achieved, avoiding the problem of localized over-brightness or under-brightness that may occur with traditional lamps, providing a more ideal lighting environment for musical instruments. Different colors of the light source 100 can be selected according to different musical styles and performance scenarios to create various atmospheres for the instruments, enhancing the expressiveness and appeal of the music. Using high-efficiency and energy-saving light sources such as LEDs, the lamp has a long lifespan and low energy consumption, reducing operating costs and conforming to environmental protection principles. The overall lamp design is compact, does not occupy too much space, and can be easily installed on various musical instruments without affecting their normal use. This type of instrument ambient light can be applied to various instruments, such as pianos, guitars, and violins. It can be installed inside or outside an instrument to provide auxiliary lighting, enhancing its visual appeal and creating a more enjoyable musical experience for both performers and audiences. For example, installing such an ambient light on a piano provides soft illumination to the keyboard and internal structure during performance, allowing the player to see the keys more clearly and adding a romantic and mysterious atmosphere to the entire performance setting. Installing an ambient light on a guitar illuminates the fretboard and body, allowing the player to focus more intently while adding a unique charm to the guitar.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] Light emitted from light source 100 enters the horizontal portion 220 of light guide plate 200, and then propagates inside light guide plate 200 guided by optical dots. During this process, reflector 300 reflects the downward-propagating light back into light guide plate 200, allowing the light to propagate and distribute better within light guide plate 200. Finally, the light exits from the light-emitting surface 230 of vertical portion 210, providing uniform and soft illumination for the instrument and creating a pleasant atmosphere.

[0033] In some embodiments, the end of the transverse portion 220 connected to the light source 100 is provided with a mounting groove 240, and the light source 100 is installed in the mounting groove 240.

[0034] The mounting slot 240 provides a dedicated mounting location for the light source 100, allowing it to be securely fixed to the transverse portion 220. This design prevents the light source 100 from loosening or shifting due to vibration or external force during use, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the luminaire. The shape and size of the mounting slot 240 can be customized according to the specific type of the light source 100 (such as LED beads, light strips, etc.) to ensure a tight fit, reducing light scattering and loss, and improving lighting efficiency. The position and structural design of the mounting slot 240 optimizes the light entry angle and propagation path. By rationally designing the shape and depth of the mounting slot 240, light can enter the transverse portion 220 of the light guide plate 200 more efficiently and propagate along the light guide plate 200, thereby improving overall optical performance. The design of the mounting slot 240 makes the installation and removal of the light source 100 more convenient. When the light source 100 malfunctions or needs to be replaced, the user can easily remove the light source 100 from the mounting slot 240 for maintenance or replacement without the need for complex disassembly of the entire luminaire. This design not only reduces maintenance costs but also improves the user experience, making the maintenance and replacement of lights more convenient.

[0035] Furthermore, the light source 100 includes a circuit board 110 and LED beads 120 connected to the circuit board 110.

[0036] Circuit board 110 is used to carry and connect LED beads 120. It provides stable current and voltage to LED beads 120, ensuring that LED beads 120 can emit light normally. Through circuit board 110, LED beads 120 can be connected in series or parallel to meet different lighting needs and power requirements. LED beads 120 are the actual light-emitting part of light source 100, and usually use LED (light-emitting diode) technology. LED beads have advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, long life, and fast response speed, and can emit light of multiple colors to meet the lighting needs of different scenarios. Depending on the application scenario, LED beads 120 can be designed to emit single color light or multiple colors. For example, single color LED beads can be used to provide single-color lighting, while multi-color LED beads (such as RGB LED beads) can produce multiple colors through color mixing technology to achieve rich color effects. LED beads are small in size and light in weight, making them easy to integrate into miniaturized lamps. In musical instrument ambient lighting, LED beads 120 can be closely arranged on circuit board 110 to form a compact light source 100 module, which does not occupy too much space, while also providing a uniform lighting effect. Integrating the circuit board 110 and the LED chip 120 into a compact light source module 100 effectively reduces the overall size and weight of the luminaire. This design is particularly suitable for use inside musical instruments with limited space, such as under the piano keyboard or inside the guitar fretboard, without affecting the normal use of the instrument. The compact integrated design also improves the reliability of the luminaire. By encapsulating the circuit board 110 and the LED chip 120 together, the impact of the external environment on the LED chip 120, such as dust and moisture, can be reduced, thereby extending the lifespan of the luminaire. The circuit board 110 can be designed in different shapes and sizes to suit different installation locations and lighting requirements. For example, it can be designed as a straight line, an arc, or an irregular shape to match the shape and structure of the musical instrument.

[0037] Furthermore, the mounting slot 240 includes a horizontal slot 241 and a light source slot 242 connected to the horizontal slot 241. The circuit board 110 is placed in the horizontal slot 241, and the LED 120 is placed in the light source slot 242.

[0038] The horizontal slot 241 is primarily used to house the circuit board 110. The circuit board 110 typically has a certain thickness and width; the design of the horizontal slot 241 ensures that the circuit board 110 can be placed stably within it, while providing necessary support. The width and depth of the horizontal slot 241 match the dimensions of the circuit board 110, ensuring a tight fit and reducing movement. The light source slot 242 is used to house the LED beads 120. The LED beads 120 are typically small but require precise positioning and fixation to ensure that the light propagates in the designed direction and angle. The shape and size of the light source slot 242 match the shape and size of the LED beads 120, ensuring that the LED beads 120 can be precisely placed in the predetermined position. For example, for round LED beads 120, the light source slot 242 can be designed to be round or square to accommodate different types of LED beads 120.

[0039] In some embodiments, heat dissipation holes are provided on the side of the transverse slot 241. The heat dissipation holes can help dissipate heat from the electronic components on the circuit board 110, especially for high-power LED beads 120. Good heat dissipation design can extend the service life of the circuit board 110 and the LED beads 120.

[0040] In some embodiments, the light guide plate 200 is T-shaped.

[0041] The T-shaped light guide plate 200 consists of a vertical section 210 and a horizontal section 220, which are connected to form a T-shaped structure. This structure makes the light guide plate 200 more flexible in spatial layout, adaptable to different installation positions and lighting requirements. The vertical section 210 typically serves as the main light-emitting surface 230, used to emit light in a specific direction (such as upward or downward); the horizontal section 220 is used to connect the light source 100 and guide the light to the vertical section 210. The dimensions of the vertical section 210 and the horizontal section 220 can be adjusted according to the actual application. For example, the height and width of the vertical section 210 can be designed according to the size of the area to be illuminated, while the length of the horizontal section 220 depends on the position of the light source 100 and the light guiding requirements.

[0042] In some embodiments, the vertical portion 210 and the horizontal portion 220 are integrally injection molded.

[0043] The injection-molded one-piece light guide plate 200 has no seams between the vertical portion 210 and the horizontal portion 220; the entire light guide plate 200 is a single, integrated unit. This structural integrity prevents light scattering and loss at the joints, ensuring efficient light transmission from the horizontal portion 220 to the vertical portion 210. The one-piece molded light guide plate 200 has higher mechanical strength and stability, better resisting external impacts and vibrations, making it particularly suitable for ambient lighting for musical instruments used in complex environments.

[0044] In some embodiments, the ambient light applied to the musical instrument also includes double-sided tape 400, and the light guide plate 200 and the reflector 300 are connected by the double-sided tape 400.

[0045] Double-sided tape 400 is a common adhesive material, convenient and easy to use. During production, simply attaching double-sided tape 400 between the light guide plate 200 and the reflective sheet 300 achieves a firm connection without complex mechanical connections or welding processes. In some embodiments, double-sided tape 400 is transparent. In other embodiments, double-sided tape 400 has perforated portions to prevent light from passing through.

[0046] In some embodiments, the reflective sheet 300 is black.

[0047] The black reflector 300 absorbs most of the light instead of reflecting it in various directions. This characteristic effectively reduces light scattering during reflection, allowing the light to be more concentrated and reflected back into the light guide plate 200, thereby improving light utilization and propagation efficiency. The black reflector 300 absorbs background light and other stray light, reducing their interference with the main lighting effect. This helps improve the overall contrast of the luminaire, making the light clearer and more uniform, enhancing the visual effect of the lighting. In instrument ambient lighting, the black reflector 300 can better integrate with the instrument's design, maintaining overall aesthetics and consistency. For example, the black reflector 300 can match the black parts of the instrument (such as the black keys of a piano or the black body of a guitar), enhancing the overall visual effect. The black reflector 300 is visually discreet, not forming obvious reflective points inside or outside the instrument, thus avoiding visual interference for performers or audiences, making the luminaire design simpler and more concealed.

[0048] In some embodiments, the vertical portion 210 is provided with a flange 211 at one end away from the light source 100. The flange 211 includes an inclined portion 212 and a vertical portion 213. The inclined portion 212 gradually slopes downward along the length extension direction of the vertical portion 213, and the vertical portion 213 is connected to the inclined end of the inclined portion 212.

[0049] The inclined portion 212 gradually slopes downwards along the length of the vertical portion 213, forming a slope. This design can change the propagation direction of light at the end of the vertical portion 210, making the light distribution more uniform. The vertical portion 213 is connected to the inclined end of the inclined portion 212, forming a structure perpendicular to the surface of the light guide plate 200. The vertical portion 213 can provide additional support and structural stability, and can also serve as a reflective or blocking surface for light. The flange 211 design can enhance the overall structural strength of the light guide plate 200, especially at the end of the vertical portion 210, reducing deformation or damage caused by external forces or vibrations. The vertical portion 213 can provide additional support for the light guide plate 200, enhancing structural stability, especially at the end of the vertical portion 210. This design can reduce deformation or damage to the light guide plate 200 during use. By enhancing structural stability, the flange 211 design can improve the durability of the light guide plate 200 and extend its service life.

[0050] In some embodiments, the light-emitting surface 230 is a mirror.

[0051] The mirror-like light-emitting surface 230 has extremely high reflectivity, reflecting most of the light instead of absorbing it like ordinary surfaces. This high reflectivity significantly improves light utilization, making the luminaire more energy-efficient. The mirror surface typically undergoes special treatment (such as coating or polishing) to ensure optimal reflective performance.

Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing description of various embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not intended to limit the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
