[0023] The lens provided by the present application is described below with reference to Fig. 1- Fig. 4.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 1, the lens provided by the present application includes: a lens body 11, a light source accommodating groove 111 formed on one side of the lens body 11 and configured for accommodating a light source 12, and resistor accommodating grooves 112 located outside the light source accommodating groove 111 and configured for accommodating a resistor 13; the inner surface of the light source accommodating groove 111 forms a light incident surface 113, and another side of the lens body 11 opposite to the light source accommodating groove 111 forms a light exiting surface 114.

[0025] In this embodiment, the light source 12 is installed in the light source accommodating groove 111. Light emitted from the light source 12 enters the lens body 11 through the light incident surface 113 of the lens body 11, and after being refracted by the lens body 11, the light irradiates to the outside from the light exiting surface 114 at a larger angle, expanding the illumination range. The resistor 13 is usually electrically connected to the light source 12 to limit the current flowing through the light source 12, which can protect the light source 12 and prevent it from being burned out. Further, by setting the resistor accommodating grooves 112 on one side of the lens body 11 and placing the resistor 13 in the resistor accommodating grooves 112, the resistor 13 is shielded and protected. The lens body 11 usually uses an insulating material, which can also prevent personnel from directly touching the resistor 13 and causing electric shock accidents, meeting safety regulations.

[0026] The lens of the present application may be used in various lighting lamps such as ceiling lamps, decorative lamps, and fan lamps. By setting the lens body 11 and installing the light source 12 in the light source accommodating groove 111 on one side of the lens body 11, the illumination range of the light source 12 is expanded through the refraction of the lens body 11. Further, by setting the resistor 13 in the resistor accommodating grooves 112 on one side of the lens body 11, the resistor 13 is shielded and protected, and electric shock is prevented. Since the resistor 13 is disposed inside the lens body 11, no additional protective structures are needed, which helps to reduce the size of the entire lighting lamp and effectively solves the problem in the prior art where additional structures for installing resistors and preventing electric shock have to be disposed on lighting lamps, which problem leads to lamp size to be increased.

[0027] In some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, at least one side of the resistor accommodating groove 112 is configured with a reflective surface 115 disposed opposite to the light exiting surface 114, and the reflective surface 115 is concave toward the direction of the light exiting surface 114.

[0028] In this embodiment, part of the light emitted by the light source 12 may be directed toward the resistor 13 after being refracted or totally reflected by the lens body 11 (as shown by the straight arrow in Fig. 3 indicating the light path). The resistor 13 is usually dark in color (e.g., black) and has light absorption capabilities. By setting the reflective surface 115, the light directed toward the resistor 13 is reflected, so as to be directed toward the light exiting surface 114 again. This prevents the light from being absorbed by the resistor 13 and producing dark shadows on the outer surface of the lens body 11. In this way, the light of the lighting lamp is more uniform and the illumination effect is improved, so that the lighting lamp can not only meet the safety protection function but also meet the optical requirements.

[0029] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the reflective surface 115 is provided with quadrangular pyramids 1151 arranged in an array, and adjacent quadrangular pyramids 1151 are connected to each other.

[0030] In this embodiment, the quadrangular pyramid 1151 has a multi-surface reflection function and may reflect light coming from different directions. By providing the reflective surface 115 with quadrangular pyramids 1151 arranged in an array and connected to each other, the light coming from all directions may be reflected, so that the reflection effect of the entire reflective surface 115 will be improved. This can better prevent the light from being directed toward the resistor 13 and absorbed, which helps to make the light of the lighting lamp more uniform and improve the illumination effect of the lighting lamp.

[0031] Specifically, the quadrangular pyramid 1151 is a regular quadrangular pyramid. The vertex angle of the isosceles triangle on the side of the regular quadrangular pyramid is 125°~140°, the height of the regular quadrangular pyramid is 0.1~0.2 mm, and the side length of the bottom of the regular quadrangular pyramid is 0.45~0.75 mm.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, the quadrangular pyramid 1151 is a regular quadrangular pyramid. The regular quadrangular pyramid has a side length of bottom of 0.65 mm and a height of 0.14 mm, and a vertex angle of the isosceles triangle on the side of the regular quadrangular pyramid is 133.4°.

[0033] In some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, the resistor accommodating grooves 112 are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction of the light source accommodating groove 111, on the periphery of the light source accommodating groove 111.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting the resistor accommodating grooves 112 to be uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the light source accommodating groove 111, one or more resistors 13 may be arranged in the resistor accommodating grooves 112 according to actual needs, which makes the arrangement of the resistors 13 more flexible.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, the resistor accommodating groove 112 is an annular groove surrounding the light source accommodating groove 111. The resistor 13 may be disposed at any position in the annular groove, which makes the arrangement of the resistor 13 more convenient and flexible.

[0036] Optionally, a plurality of resistors 13 may be arranged in the annular groove according to actual needs.

[0037] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, in some embodiments, the width of the resistor accommodating groove 112 is larger than the diagonal length of the resistor 13. In this embodiment, the angle may have a certain deviation when the resistor 13 is mounted or placed as a chip component. By setting the width of the resistor accommodating groove 112 to be larger than the diagonal length of the resistor 13, the resistor 13 with angular deviation may still be accommodated in the resistor accommodating groove 112, facilitating the installation and arrangement of the resistor 13.

[0038] In some embodiments, the width of the resistor accommodating groove 112 is 2.06 mm and the height of the resistor accommodating groove is 0.65 mm.

[0039] The size (length × width × height) of a commonly used resistor 13 is a chip resistor of 1.6 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.45 mm. Considering that the resistor 13 may deflect during installation, the width of the resistor accommodating groove 112 needs to be larger than the diagonal length of the resistor 13 (1.789 mm). Further considering factors such as the chip mounting error and the tolerance of the chip resistor, the width of the resistor accommodating groove 112 should be larger than 1.9 mm. The thickness of the chip resistor is 0.45 mm, and considering the height of the solder and the tolerance range of the chip resistor itself, the height of the resistor accommodating groove 112 is required to be larger than 0.5 mm. To better accommodate the resistor 13, the width of the resistor accommodating groove 112 is set to 2.06 mm and the height of the resistor accommodating groove is set to 0.65 mm.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the resistor accommodating groove 112 is an annular groove, and the annular groove has an inner diameter of 5.47 mm and an outer diameter of 9.58 mm, that is, the width of the annular groove is 2.06 mm and the height of the annular groove is 0.65 mm.

[0041] Optionally, an exhaust groove 116 is configured in the lens body 11, and the exhaust groove 116 is in communication with the light source accommodating groove 111.

[0042] In this embodiment, the light source 12 generates heat continuously during operation. During use, water vapor may penetrate into the light source accommodating groove 111 and form mist under heating of the light source 12, which affects the illumination effect. By setting the exhaust groove 116 to exhaust and dissipate heat for the light source 12, it is beneficial to prevent the illumination effect from being affected by the mist. The structure is simple and the use effect is good.

[0043] Similarly, as shown in Fig. 2, the exhaust groove 116 may also be in communication with the resistor accommodating groove 112 to exhaust and dissipate heat for the resistor 13, thereby preventing water vapor from being heated by the resistor 13 to form mist, which affects the operation of the resistor 13.

[0044] Optionally, the exhaust groove 116 may be in communication with both the light source accommodating groove 111 and the resistor accommodating groove 112, so as to exhaust and dissipate heat for both the resistor 13 and the light source 12.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, the lens body 11 is a solid of revolution. The structure of the lens body 11 is rotationally symmetric, so the light emitted by the light source 12 through the refraction of the lens body 11 is more uniformly distributed.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 3, the light exiting surface 114 includes a central light-exiting area 1141 and a side light-exiting area 1142. The central light-exiting area 1141 is concave toward the direction of the light source accommodating groove 111, and the side light-exiting area 1142 is convex toward the direction away from the light source accommodating groove 111.

[0047] In this embodiment, the central light-exiting area 1141, the side light-exiting area 1142, and the light incident surface 113 are all smooth curved surfaces. Through the cooperation of the three, the Lambertian light distribution emitted by the light source 12 may be deflected into a large-angle batwing light distribution. Furthermore, uniform illumination in a large range can be achieved with smaller light source 12. The structure is simple and the practicality is high.

[0048] Specifically, the lens body 11 is a glass lens or a plastic lens. Glass lenses or plastic lenses have good transparency and insulation properties, which can meet the optical requirements of lighting while protecting the resistor 13.

[0049] On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 1, the present application also provides a lighting lamp 1, which includes: the lens provided in any one of the above embodiments; a substrate 14, the light source 12 and the resistor 13 arranged on the substrate 14, where the lens body 11 is installed on the substrate 14, the light source 12 is accommodated in the light source accommodating groove 111, and the resistor 13 is electrically connected to the light source 12, accommodated in the resistor accommodating grooves 112 and configured for performing negative voltage protection on the light source 12.

[0050] In this embodiment, by providing the lens according to any one of the above embodiments, the lighting lamp 1 of the present application also has the advantages of the above lens, which will not be repeated here. In this embodiment, by setting the substrate 14 to cooperate with the lens body 11 to enclose the light source 12 and the resistor 13 inside the lighting lamp 1, the light source 12 and the resistor 13 are sealed and protected, and personnel are further prevented from touching the resistor 13. The structure is simple and the practicality is high. By setting the resistor 13 to be electrically connected to the light source 12, negative voltage protection is provided for the light source 12, preventing the light source 12 from being burned out and improving the stability and service life of the light source 12.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the substrate 14 is an aluminum substrate, the light source 12 is a chip LED lamp bead, and the resistor 13 is a chip resistor, where the light source 12 and the resistor 13 are fixed on the surface of the substrate 14 by silk printing. The light source 12, the resistor 13, and the substrate 14 are firmly attached, and the light source 12 and the resistor 13 occupy a small volume.

[0052] The embodiments described above are only illustrative, and some or all of the modules can be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of the embodiments. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative work, they can understand and implement it.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or replace some of the technical features equivalently. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
