Abstract
Description
The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of optical design of high bay light, and particularly relates to a method for adjusting a light-emitting angle of a high bay light without light loss. Background High bay lights are widely used in high-ceiling environments such as factories, large supermarkets, and warehouses. They are chosen by many consumers due to their professional lighting effects. Currently, there are two common methods for adjusting a light-emitting angle of the whole high bay light. One method is to provide a reflector on the traditional glass light-emitting surface to reduce the light-emitting angle. However, this method fails to meet the latest requirements of glare treatment. Another method is to discard the way of glass light emission and use a specially designed lens to deal with glare, and the light-emitting angle of the whole lamp is adjusted by changing the distance of the lens with respect to the LED. This method changes the optimal position of the LED in the lens design so that part of the light can only diffuse out of the lens by refraction, thus producing a certain light loss. The smaller the adjustment angle, the farther the lens is from the LED, and the greater the proportion of light loss. Summary In order to solve the problem set forth in the above background art, the present disclosure provides a method for adjusting a light-emitting angle of a high bay light without light loss, having the feature of the adjustment of the light-emitting angle without light loss. In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present disclosure provides the following technical solution. A method for adjusting a light-emitting angle of a high bay light without light loss is provided, including the steps of: (1), determining a light distribution of a light source; (2), performing an iterative calculation according to a change in a light-emitting angle of the light source to obtain a surface shape of a polarizing lens; (3), symmetrically mounting a plurality of polarizing lenses having the surface shape on the left and right above the light source; and (4), adjusting the light-emitting angle by synchronously rotating the polarizing lenses symmetrical on the left and right. Further, step (2) comprises performing a simultaneous calculation to obtain the surface shape of two polarizing lenses symmetrical on the left and right. Further, step (2) includes: (a), establishing a mapping relationship between the light source and a corresponding point of an illuminated surface according to a luminous flux conservation principle; (b), calculating a coordinate value of a light-emitting surface of the lens; and (c), calculating incident points of all emitted light rays, and connecting all of the incident points to construct a free curved surface shape of the polarizing lens. Further, in step (a), the mapping relationship between the light source and the corresponding point of the illuminated surface is: JJ / (i yiQ. = E(p)dA Cl D where Q is a range of a solid angle of the light source, E(p) is an energy distribution at an illumination plane p, representing an angular distribution of a light intensity of the light source in a direction, D is a range of the illumination plane, dA is an area at point A, and / ( / ) is a light intensity in a direction of an illumination point. Further, step (b) comprises: setting the illuminated surface according to a fixed distance and angle; setting a distance between a target surface and the light source as h, setting a length and width of the target surface as a and b, setting a total luminous flux of the light source as 0, setting an illumination of the target surface as E, and setting a central light intensity as 10=0 Ar; and dividing the illuminated surface into m and n equal parts in a step size K along an X direction and a Y direction, respectively. Further, step (c) comprises solving a direction of the emitted light rays of the light source and points of the light rays illuminated on the illuminated surface according to the mapping relationship between the light source and the illuminated surface. Further, step (c) comprises: determining a first incident point of a first incident light ray i to be incident on the lens, solving a first tangent plane at the first incident point according to conditions; determining a second incident point of a second incident light ray based on intersection of the second incident light ray with the first tangent plane; wherein when the light ray is refracted at the incident point, a refraction law relationship is satisfied: J]+nE~2n(^ wherein n is an index of —> refraction, O is a unit vector of refracted light, I is a unit vector of incident light, and .Visa normal vector to a tangent plane; solving a normal vector at a third incident point according to the refraction law relationship, and solving the incident points of all emitted light rays similarly. Specifically, the polarizing lenses with an even number having the surface shape are symmetrically mounted on the left and right above the light source.
