Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lighting, and more particularly to a ceiling light with night light function. [Background technology]
[0002] Ceiling lights are illumination fixtures that are attached to or recessed into roof ceilings. Like ceiling lamps, they are also the main indoor lighting device and are commonly used in homes, offices, casinos, and other locations. LED ceiling lights are directly attached to roofs and are suitable for general lighting, typically found in living rooms and bedrooms. LED ceiling lights use LEDs as their light source and are installed indoors. Their flat-topped design allows them to fit snugly against the ceiling after installation, giving them the appearance of being attached to it, hence the name. LED ceiling lights offer high luminous efficiency, low power consumption, a long service life, easy control, and maintenance-free operation. They are safe and environmentally friendly. They are a new generation of cool light source, offering greater energy savings than energy-saving tube lamps, high brightness, long-distance projection, excellent light projection performance, and a wide operating voltage range.
[0003] As the boom in home interior renovation continues, ceiling lights are constantly evolving, becoming more diverse and no longer limited to traditional single-light fixtures. However, to meet lighting requirements, traditional bedroom ceiling lights tend to be relatively bright and lack a night-light function. When users turn on the light for fear or other reasons when going to bed at night, the strong light interferes with the natural sleep mode of the human body's biological clock, reducing sleep quality and causing serious physical harm. While some traditional ceiling lights are equipped with a night-light function, the light emitted from the night-light source is projected directly outside, irritating the eyes even in dark environments. The use of a backlight to reduce the eye irritation caused by the night-light light also results in relatively high production costs. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ceiling light with night light function, and to solve the technical problem that the light rays of the night light in the prior art are directly projected outward, irritating to the eyes, while the backlight method can reduce the eye irritation caused by the light rays of the night light, but it increases production costs and is detrimental to the development of the business. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions adopted by this invention are as follows: Provided is a ceiling light having a night light function, the ceiling light comprising: A socket, a drive assembly attached to the socket; a light source assembly including a light source plate, a main light source and a night light source provided on the light source plate, the main light source and the night light source being electrically connected to the light source plate, the light source plate being provided in the socket, and the light source plate being electrically connected to the driving assembly; a lens assembly including a main illumination lens connected to the light source plate and a night-light lens provided on the light output side of the night-light light source, the main illumination lens being located on the light output side of the light source plate and having a light-transmitting portion corresponding to the main light source, the main illumination lens having an escape hole, and the night-light lens being inserted into the escape hole; a lampshade, the lampshade being enclosed within the drive assembly, the light source assembly and the lens assembly and connected to the socket.

[0019] 1 to 5, the ceiling light with night-light function provided by the present invention will be described. The ceiling light with night-light function includes a socket 3, a driving assembly 2, a light source assembly 4, a lens assembly 5, and a lampshade 1. The driving assembly 2 is attached to the socket 3. The light source assembly 4 includes a light source plate 401, a main light source 403 and a night-light light source 402 mounted on the light source plate 401. The main light source 403 and the night-light light source 402 are electrically connected to the light source plate 401. The light source plate 401 is mounted to the socket 3, and the light source plate 401 is electrically connected to the driving assembly 2. The lens assembly 5 includes a main lighting lens 501 connected to the light source plate 401 and a night-light lens 502 provided on the light output side of the night-light light source 402. The main lighting lens 501 is located on the light output side of the light source plate 401 and has a light-transmitting portion 5011 corresponding to the main light source 403. An escape hole 5013 is opened in the main lighting lens 501 and the night-light lens 502 is inserted into the escape hole 5013. The lampshade 1 covers the outside of the driving assembly 2, the light source assembly 4 and the lens assembly 5 and is connected to the socket 3.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the ceiling light with night-light function provided by the present invention has a light source plate 401 equipped with a main light source 403 and a night-light light source 402, and the light-transmitting portion 5011 of the main lighting lens 501 corresponds to the main light source 403, while the night-light lens 502 corresponds to the night-light light source 402. After the night-light light source 402 is turned on, the light generated by the night-light light source 402 passes through the night-light lens 502 and is projected outward, making the projected light softer and avoiding the problem of eye irritation caused by direct light. Furthermore, because the night-light lens 502 and the main lighting lens 501 are provided separately, all that is required is to provide an escape hole 5013 in the existing main lighting lens 501 that is compatible with the night-light lens 502. This eliminates the need to modify the structure of the existing main lighting lens 501, thereby reducing design and production costs and benefiting the long-term development of the company.
[0021] Optionally, the night-light lens 502 is made of a flexible material such as silicone rubber. If a transparent silica gel material is used for the night-light lens 502, it can not only disperse the light generated by the night-light source 402 before projecting it outward, but also avoid rigid contact with the main lighting lens 501 and protect the main lighting lens 501 from damage. Furthermore, silica gel has good elasticity and a large coefficient of friction, which can improve the robustness and reliability of the connection to the main lighting lens 501.
[0022] When illumination is performed using the main light source 403, the light rays generated by the main light source 403 pass through the main illumination lens 501 and are projected to the outside, changing the refraction angle of the light rays and enlarging the projection area.
[0023] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 5, the main lighting lens 501 includes a position control boss 5015 provided on the inner surface of the escape hole 5013, and the night light lens 502 has a position control groove 5023 that fits the position control boss 5015, and the position control boss 5015 is inserted into the position control groove 5023.
[0024] The position restricting boss 5015 is inserted into the position restricting groove 5023 to realize the connection between the night-light lens 502 and the main lighting lens 501. In this embodiment, there is no need to drill holes in the night-light lens 502 or the main lighting lens 501, which avoids the problem of damage to the night-light lens 502 or the main lighting lens 501 caused by drilling holes, and there is no need to use external connecting components, which simplifies the installation steps and also avoids the situation of light leakage caused by drilling holes.
[0025] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5, the night light lens 502 includes a shade body 5025 and a mounting flange 5021, the shade body 5025 has a light-transmitting cavity 5024 for accommodating the night light source 402, the mounting flange 5021 is connected to the outer surface of the shade body 5025 and abuts against the light source plate 401, a mounting groove 5022 is opened on one side of the mounting flange 5021 away from the light source plate 401, and the main lighting lens 501 has a mounting rib 5016 inserted into the mounting groove 5022.
[0026] One side of the mounting flange 5021 abuts against the light source plate 401, and the mounting groove 5022 opened on the other side is inserted into the mounting rib 5016, thereby regulating and fixing the position of the mounting flange 5021 in the light output direction. After the mounting rib 5016 is inserted into the mounting groove 5022, the gap between the mounting flange 5021 and the light source plate 401 is further reduced, thereby preventing light leakage.
[0027] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 and 4, a plurality of clearance grooves are opened at intervals along the circumferential direction on the side wall of the main lighting lens 501, and a locking portion 5017 is provided in the clearance groove, there is a gap between the locking portion 5017 and the main lighting lens 501, and the locking portion 5017 is engaged with and engaged with the light source plate 401.
[0028] When the locking portion 5017 is engaged with or separated from the light source plate 401, the locking portion 5017 is displaced or deformed by force, and a gap is formed between the locking portion 5017 and the main lighting lens 501, thereby preventing interference between the main lighting lens 501 and the locking portion 5017. The locking solution is not only easy to connect and does not require drilling holes, but is also less susceptible to temperature effects and more robust than adhesive methods.
[0029] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the socket 3 has a locking groove 302 that fits into the drive assembly 2, the drive assembly 2 is mounted within the locking groove 302, and the locking groove 302 is used to position the drive assembly 2.
[0030] The fixing groove 302 provides an installation space for the drive assembly 2 and also can restrict the position of the drive assembly 2, thereby improving the robustness and reliability after the drive assembly 2 is connected to the socket 3.
[0031] Optionally, the drive assembly 2 is threadedly engaged with the socket 3 .
[0032] Optionally, the fixing groove 302 is an annular groove, and the housing of the drive assembly 2 fits into the annular groove, which may be an annular member or an arc-shaped member, so that the fixing groove 302 radially positions the drive assembly 2.
[0033] 2, in some embodiments, the light source plate 401 includes a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a circular pattern, at least one of which is provided with a night light source 402. Here, the light emitting element refers to a circuit board without lamp beads, and the night light source 402 and the main light source 403 both include a plurality of lamp beads, and the night light source 402 and the main light source 403 are provided on the light emitting element, collectively forming a light source assembly 4.
[0034] In this embodiment, multiple light-emitting elements are connected together to form a light source plate 401, and the multiple light-emitting elements are surrounded in a ring shape, which reduces manufacturing costs compared with the overall structure. Furthermore, one or more light-emitting elements may be selected to be provided with a night-light source 402 according to actual needs, and the layout flexibility for the night-light source 402 is greater.
[0035] Optionally, two adjacent light emitting members may be connected using a clasp, a screw connection or an adhesive, and connected to the socket 3 or the main lighting lens 501 respectively.
[0036] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the main illumination lens 501 further includes a light blocking ring 5014 inserted into the clearance hole 5013, and the light blocking ring 5014 is disposed around the outer periphery of the night light lens 502.
[0037] The shading ring 5014 can act as a guide for the installation of the night-light lens 502, and when the light rays generated from the night-light light source 402 pass through the side wall of the night-light lens 502, they are re-refracted by the shading ring 5014, reducing the intensity of the light rays exiting from the side, so that the light rays only pass through and exit the area of the night-light lens 502 corresponding to the night-light light source 402, thereby avoiding the wide-area projection of the light rays affecting the user's rest.
[0038] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 3, the socket 3 has a mounting portion 301 for mounting the light source plate 401, the mounting portion 301 protruding toward the light output side of the light source plate 401, and the main lighting lens 501 includes a lens body and position control flanges provided on opposite sides of the lens body, and the position control flanges abut against the side walls of the mounting portion 301.
[0039] When the installation of the light source plate 401 and the main lighting lens 501 is completed, the light source plate 401 comes into contact with the mounting portion 301, and the two position control flanges abut against the two side walls of the mounting portion 301, respectively, thereby realizing position control for the main lighting lens 501 and improving the robustness of the connection.
[0040] Optionally, the mounting portion 301 has an annular structure, the light source plate 401 and the lens body both have annular structures, and position control flanges are provided on the inner and outer edges of the lens body, respectively, and the position control flanges abut against the side walls of the mounting portion 301 and then position the main lighting lens 501 in the radial direction.
[0041] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the main lighting lens 501, the light source plate 401 and the socket 3 are provided with corresponding fastening holes 5012, and the ceiling light with night light function further includes fastening members inserted into the fastening holes 5012 on the main lighting lens 501, the light source plate 401 and the socket 3, respectively.
[0042] The light source plate 401 is first connected to the main lighting lens 501, and then the fastening holes 5012 on the light source plate 401, main lighting lens 501 and socket 3 are aligned with each other, and fastening members are inserted into the fastening holes 5012 to connect the main lighting lens 501, light source plate 401 and socket 3. This embodiment adopts a solution of connecting the main lighting lens 501, light source plate 401 and socket 3 with fastening members, which simplifies the installation steps, realizes detachable connection, and is convenient for subsequent maintenance of the main light source 403 and the night-light light source 402.
[0043] Optionally, the fastening member is a screw member or a locking member, for example, the fastening member includes a bolt inserted into fastening hole 5012 and a nut that fits over the bolt.
[0044] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4, the main illumination lens 501 is provided with a positioning member 5018, and the socket 3 is provided with a positioning hole that fits the positioning member 5018, and the positioning member 5018 is inserted into the positioning hole.
[0045] After the main lighting lens 501 is connected to the light source plate 401, the positioning member 5018 is inserted into the positioning hole to realize the positioning of the main lighting lens 501 relative to the socket 3, and furthermore, there is no need to calibrate the alignment of the main lighting lens 501 with the fastening hole 5012 in the lampshade 1, thereby improving the installation efficiency.
[0046] Specifically, relief holes corresponding to the fastening members are formed in the light source plate 401 .
[0047] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should all be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
