Description

Technical field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of light strips, in particular a light strip structure. State of the art

[0002] In existing linear lighting structures, shadows and light spots exist between the light sources, leading to an uneven distribution of light and potentially causing problems such as glare. Content of the utility model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the disadvantages of the existing state of the art and to provide a light strip structure.

[0004] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the present utility model uses the following technical solution:

[0005] One embodiment of the utility model provides a light strip structure comprising a light strip on which a plurality of light sources are uniformly mounted, wherein an outer side of the light sources is covered with a first translucent diffusing layer, and the first translucent diffusing layer and an outer side of the light strip are covered with a second translucent diffusing layer, wherein a portion of the second translucent diffusing layer is covered with a light-protective layer, so that the light emitted by the light sources passes through the first translucent diffusing layer and then exits through the portion of the second translucent diffusing layer that is not covered by the light-protective layer.

[0006] In a specific embodiment, the light-protective layer is covered on a front and a right side of the second translucent diffusing layer, so that the light exits from the left side and the rear side of the second translucent diffusing layer.

[0007] In one specific embodiment, the light-protective layer also covers a portion of the rear side of the second light-transmitting diffusing layer.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, the light-protective layer is covered on the front and rear sides of the second translucent diffusing layer, so that light exits from the left and right sides of the second translucent diffusing layer.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, the material of the first translucent diffusing layer is silicone or PVC.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, the material of the second translucent diffusing layer is silicone or PVC.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, the material of the light-protective layer is black silicone or black PVC.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, a right end surface of the second translucent scattering layer is an arc-shaped surface.

[0013] In a specific embodiment, a right end surface and a left end surface of the second translucent scattering layer are arc-shaped surfaces and arranged symmetrically.

[0014] In one specific embodiment, the light sources are LED (Light Emitting Diode) light sources.

[0015] The light band structure of the utility model, compared to the existing state of the art, has the advantageous effect that, by arranging the first translucent diffusing layer on the outside of the light sources, the light emitted by the light sources is initially diffused evenly by this layer. This reduces any potential points or spots of light that could occur if the light were emitted directly from the light sources, thus initially softening the light. Subsequently, the light passes through the second translucent diffusing layer, which further diffuses the light, resulting in a more uniform light distribution and avoiding the problem of glare.

Detailed description

[0016] With reference to the in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. In the specific embodiments shown in Figure 4, the present utility model discloses a light strip structure comprising a light strip 10 on which a plurality of light sources 20 are uniformly mounted, wherein the outside of the light sources 20 is covered with a first translucent diffusing layer 30, and the first translucent diffusing layer 30 and the outside of the light strip 10 are covered with a second translucent diffusing layer 40, wherein a partial area of ​​the second translucent diffusing layer 40 is covered with a light-protective layer 50, so that the light emitted by the light sources 20 passes through the first translucent diffusing layer 30 and then exits through the area of ​​the second translucent diffusing layer 40 that is not covered by the light-protective layer 50.

[0017] Specifically, by arranging the first translucent diffusing layer 30 on the outside of the light sources 20, the light emitted by the light sources 20 is initially diffused evenly by this layer. This reduces any potential points or spots of light that could occur if the light were emitted directly from the light sources 20, thus temporarily softening the light. The light then passes through the second translucent diffusing layer 40, which further diffuses the light, resulting in a more uniform light distribution and preventing glare.Furthermore, since the multiple light sources 20 are evenly distributed along the light strip 10, and the light emitted by each light source 20 is guided through two translucent diffusing layers, the brightness of all areas can be uniform when the entire light strip is illuminated. This avoids the potential occurrence of uneven brightness or alternating between light and dark, as seen in conventional light strips. The design of the light-shielding layer 50 is also a key aspect. It covers a portion of the second translucent diffusing layer 40, allowing light to escape only from the areas not covered by it. This design effectively controls the direction and area of ​​light emission, preventing light from falling directly into the eyes of viewers and thus reducing glare, thereby increasing user comfort and safety.Furthermore, the light processing described above allows the entire light strip to produce a soft, even, and uniformly bright illumination effect when lit. This effect not only improves the visual impact of the light strip but also makes it more suitable for various applications requiring soft lighting, such as home decoration or commercial presentations. Moreover, this technique not only enhances the light strip's illumination but also increases its practicality and durability through its well-designed construction. For example, the translucent diffusing layer also provides a degree of protection by preventing the light sources 20 from being directly exposed to the environment and thus damaged; at the same time, the design of the light-shielding layer 50 helps to reduce light pollution and energy consumption.

[0018] The light sources 20 are placed on the light strip 10 to establish an electrical connection and form a unit. Subsequently, the first translucent diffusing layer 30 is applied over all the light sources 20 by extrusion to create a semi-finished product. Finally, the semi-finished product, the second translucent diffusing layer 40, and the light-protective layer 50 are processed into the finished product in a single extrusion molding process. After being switched on, the light passes sequentially through the first translucent diffusing layer 30 and the second translucent diffusing layer 40, thus diffusing it evenly. Adjacent light sources 20 do not need to be very close together to achieve uniform light distribution and consistent brightness. This makes it possible to reduce the number of light sources 20, lower the power consumption of the luminaire, and save energy.Furthermore, the direction and size of the light-emitting surface can be changed as desired thanks to the light-protective layer 50, which blocks the light.

[0019] With reference to the in Fig. 1 to Fig. In the first embodiment shown in Figure 2, the light-protective layer 50 covers the front and right side of the second light-transmitting diffusing layer 40, so that the light exits from the left side and the rear side of the second light-transmitting diffusing layer 40.

[0020] Specifically, this design enhances the directionality of the light by limiting its emission direction, directing it primarily along specific paths (namely the left and rear sides). This directional emission makes the lighting effect more concentrated and targeted, making it suitable for scenarios requiring specific lighting direction. Furthermore, limiting the light emission to the left and rear results in a relatively higher illuminance in these directions, thus amplifying the lighting effect in these areas. This design contributes to creating a brighter and more uniform light distribution in areas requiring focused illumination. Additionally, limiting the light emission direction effectively reduces light scattering and waste, thereby minimizing light pollution and energy consumption.The reason for this is that most of the light is directed in the desired directions, rather than being scattered uncontrollably into the surroundings. Furthermore, this design increases flexibility in the arrangement and installation of the light strip. Since light can only be emitted from specific directions, designers can adjust the installation direction and position of the light strip according to requirements to achieve the optimal lighting effect. Additionally, the directional emission of light can improve overall visibility. For example, in decorative lighting scenarios, directional light can create clearer and more nuanced visual effects, enhancing the artistic impression and aesthetic impact of a space.

[0021] In one embodiment, the light-protective layer 50 additionally covers a partial area of ​​the rear side of the second light-transmitting diffusing layer 40.

[0022] Specifically, by covering a portion of the rear surface with the light-blocking layer 50 (e.g., covering both side sections of the rear surface, leaving only the central area open for light entry), the amount of light emanating from the rear of the light strip can be further controlled. This helps to regulate the lighting balance between the front and rear of the light strip, preventing excessively strong or weak light at the rear and thus achieving a more uniform and harmonious light distribution. Furthermore, in certain application scenarios, it may be undesirable for light to emanate from the rear of the light strip to avoid interfering with other lighting effects or to prevent light pollution.By covering a portion of the rear surface with the light-blocking layer 50, such light leakage can be effectively reduced to ensure that the light is primarily projected in the desired direction.

[0023] With reference to the in Fig. 3 to Fig. In the second embodiment shown in Figure 4, the light-protective layer 50 covers the front and rear sides of the second translucent diffusing layer 40, so that light exits from the left and right sides of the second translucent diffusing layer 40.

[0024] Specifically, this design significantly enhances the lighting effect on the left and right sides of the light strip. Since the light is confined to these two emission directions, a brighter and more even light distribution is achieved on these sides. This is particularly useful in scenarios where a side lighting effect is desired, such as for display cases or illuminating corridor edges. Furthermore, covering the front and back with the light-blocking layer 50 reduces light scattering from these two directions. This helps prevent light from falling directly into areas that should not be illuminated, thus reducing light pollution and visual disturbances. At the same time, it increases the flexibility of the light strip's installation, as it can be mounted closer to walls or other obstacles without concerns about light leakage.Furthermore, the precise control of the light emission to the left and right directs more light into the areas to be illuminated, reducing light waste. This helps save energy, lower consumption, and simultaneously increase the overall efficiency of the lighting system. Additionally, this design can create unique visual effects through its directional light projection. The light distribution to the left and right can create a distinct light-dark contrast and spatial depth, enhancing the artistic impression and aesthetic impact of a space. This is particularly important for scenarios such as commercial exhibitions or residential decoration, where a specific atmosphere is desired. Moreover, because the light is primarily emitted laterally to the left and right, the designer can adjust the arrangement and installation position of the light strip to meet specific requirements.For example, the light strip can be installed on the top or bottom of a wall to illuminate the wall or floor surface with side light and achieve different lighting effects. This design flexibility makes the technology better suited for various lighting scenarios and design concepts.

[0025] In one embodiment, the material of the first translucent diffusing layer 30 consists of silicone or PVC.

[0026] Specifically, silicone, as a highly translucent material, exhibits high light transmission. At the same time, it possesses excellent diffusion properties, which distribute light evenly, reduce glare and harsh spots, and improve the uniformity and comfort of the lighting effect. Furthermore, silicone is highly weather-resistant and chemically stable. It withstands harmful environmental influences such as UV radiation, high temperatures, and humidity, and maintains stable light transmission and physical properties over the long term. In addition, silicone is non-toxic and odorless, thus posing no health risk to humans and meeting environmental protection requirements. The use of silicone in lighting devices ensures the safety and health of users. Moreover, silicone is easy to process and shape.It can be tailored to specific requirements to meet lighting needs in different scenarios.

[0027] PVC also exhibits a certain degree of light transmission and diffusion, allowing it to distribute light evenly and thus improve the uniformity of the lighting effect. Furthermore, as a widely used plastic material, PVC is relatively inexpensive. Therefore, the first light-transmitting diffusing layer 30 made of PVC material represents an economically practical choice in some lighting devices with high cost requirements.

[0028] In one embodiment, the material of the second translucent diffusing layer 40 consists of silicone or PVC.

[0029] Specifically, the same material can be chosen for the second translucent diffusing layer 40 as for the first translucent diffusing layer 30, or, depending on requirements, a different material.

[0030] In one embodiment, the material of the light-protective layer 50 consists of black silicone or black PVC.

[0031] Specifically, black silicone exhibits excellent light-blocking properties. It can effectively absorb and block light, ensuring that no light escapes from the areas covered by the light-blocking layer 50, thus achieving precise light control. Similar to black silicone, black PVC also possesses excellent light-blocking properties. It can effectively shield light, ensuring that the light is projected according to the intended direction, thereby improving the uniformity and aesthetics of the lighting effect.

[0032] With reference to the in Fig. 1 to Fig. In the first embodiment shown in Figure 2, the right end surface of the second translucent scattering layer 40 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0033] Specifically, the design of the arc-shaped surface can alter the angle and path of the light. As light passes through the arc, it is refracted and scattered, resulting in a more uniform light distribution. This design helps reduce glare caused by direct light and enhances the softness and comfort of the lighting effect. Furthermore, the arc-shaped design visually conveys a sense of flow and dynamism, which can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the light strip. In lighting design, this design element can be combined with other decorative elements to create more attractive visual effects. Additionally, in some installation environments, the light strip must be adapted to specific curved surfaces or contours.The design of the arc-shaped surface allows the second translucent diffusing layer 40 to better adapt to these curved shapes, reducing cutting and joining work during installation and thus improving the efficiency and quality of the installation.

[0034] With reference to the in Fig. 3 to Fig. In the second embodiment shown in Figure 4, both the right and left end surfaces of the second translucent scattering layer 40 are arc-shaped surfaces and are arranged symmetrically.

[0035] Specifically, the design of the curved surfaces can alter the path of the light, resulting in a more even distribution of light on the left and right sides upon exiting. This uniform illumination helps to reduce unlit areas and improve the quality of lighting. Furthermore, the design with symmetrical curved surfaces on the left and right visually conveys a sense of flow and dynamism. This design element can enhance the aesthetic appeal and modern character of the entire lighting fixture. Additionally, the design with symmetrical curved surfaces on the left and right allows for more flexible and versatile installation of the light strip, enabling it to adapt to various installation environments and requirements, such as curved walls or ceilings.

[0036] In one embodiment, the light sources are 20 LED light sources.

[0037] Specifically, LED light sources are characterized by their high energy efficiency. Compared to conventional light sources such as incandescent or fluorescent lamps, LEDs can convert electrical energy into light more efficiently, significantly reducing energy consumption. This means that using LED light sources can considerably reduce energy waste and thus lower the operating costs of the lighting system. Furthermore, the lifespan of LED light sources is significantly longer than that of conventional light sources. Under normal operating conditions, the lifespan of LED light sources can reach tens of thousands of hours or more, which significantly reduces the frequency of chip replacements and maintenance costs. This not only lowers operating costs for the user but also reduces waste generated by frequent bulb replacements, making it more environmentally friendly.

[0038] Specifically, existing, publicly accessible technology is used for the light strip 10, which will not be discussed in more detail here.

[0039] The above-mentioned embodiments are the preferred implementations of the present utility model; furthermore, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways; any obvious modification that does not deviate from the concept of this technical solution falls within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
