[0026] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that the present invention can have various variations in different embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention, and the descriptions and illustrations herein are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit the present invention.
[0027] In the description of this application, it should be understood that, in the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the indications of direction or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) are merely for the convenience of describing this application 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. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the accompanying drawings. If the description of the positions of these elements changes, these directional indications also change accordingly.
[0028] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0029] This addresses the technical problem of traditional camera flashes having a relatively fixed light output, which cannot target the subject effectively, resulting in poor image quality.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The fiber optic lamp 100 of this embodiment includes a lamp body 110, a connecting cover 140, and a light-guiding fiber 130. The lamp body 110 is provided with a light source part 114 and a light outlet 121 for the light source part 114 to emit light outward. The connecting cover 140 is connected to the lamp body 110 and covers the light outlet 121.
[0031] The optical fiber 130 has a light inlet end 131 and a light outlet end 132. The light inlet end 131 is fixedly mounted on the connecting cover 140. The light inlet end 131 is opposite to the light outlet 121, so that the light emitted by the light source unit 114 can enter the light inlet end 131 of the optical fiber 130. The light outlet end 132 can be used to connect to an external lighting accessory 200.
[0032] The fiber optic lamp 100 of this application embodiment includes a lamp body 110, a connecting cover 140, and a light guide fiber 130. The connecting cover 140 is used to connect the light guide fiber 130 to the lamp body 110, allowing light emitted from the light source 114 to enter the light input end 131 of the light guide fiber 130. The light guide fiber 130 can extend the light output of the lamp body 110, allowing the light emitted by the lamp body 110 to illuminate certain special areas. The light guide fiber 130 can change the size of the light spot emitted by the lamp body 110 without reducing the brightness. Thus, the fiber optic lamp 100 can flexibly change the light output direction, distance, and angle, increasing the modes and application scenarios of photographic lighting, which is beneficial to improving shooting effects and effectively enhancing the user experience.
[0033] Furthermore, the light emitted from the lamp body 110 can be connected to other external lighting accessories 200 via the light guide fiber 130 to obtain different lighting effects and improve photographic results. Specifically, the light-emitting end 132 of the light guide fiber 130 can be connected to an external lighting accessory 200. These external lighting accessories can be photographic standard covers, softboxes, snoots, diffusers, etc. Thus, the light emitted from the lamp body 110 can be guided to various types of lighting accessories via the light guide fiber 130 to achieve different photographic lighting effects and meet different photographic needs in different shooting scenarios.
[0034] In the embodiments of this application, the lamp body 110 can be various types of photographic lights. For example, the lamp body 110 can be a handheld photographic light, or a photographic tube light, etc.
[0035] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the lamp body 110 may be generally cylindrical. The lamp body 110 may include a lamp housing 111, which is hollow inside to accommodate the light source unit 114. The lamp housing 111 may also contain a power supply unit 112 for supplying power to the light source unit 114. In addition, the lamp housing 111 may also contain other components such as a main control board 113 and a heat sink 115, which are not limited in this application.
[0036] The fiber optic lamp 100 of this application may have a control button 116, a power switch 117, etc. on its lamp body 110. The control button 116 may be a parameter adjustment button that can adjust various light emission parameters such as the light emission mode, effect, and brightness of the lamp body 110, and this application does not limit it in this regard.
[0037] The lamp body 110 may be equipped with a wireless transmission module, which is used to connect to terminal devices such as mobile phones and computers. Users can also control various light emission parameters such as the light emission mode, effect, and brightness of the lamp body 110 through mobile APP, etc., but this application does not limit this.
[0038] As shown in Figure 2, a light outlet 121 is provided at one end of the lamp housing, and the light source 114 is disposed inside the lamp housing 111 near the light outlet 121. The light emitted by the light source 114 can be emitted outward through the light outlet 121.
[0039] In the embodiments of this application, the light source unit 114 can be of various types. In one embodiment, the light source unit 114 can be an LED light source. The LED light source can be a cool white LED, a warm white LED, or an RGB LED. Alternatively, the LED light source can be a combined light source formed by any combination of cool white LEDs, warm white LEDs, and RGB LEDs.
[0040] In one embodiment, the light source unit 114 may include an LED point light source. Specifically, the LED point light source may be a cool white LED, a warm white LED, or an RGB LED.
[0041] In one embodiment, the light source unit 114 may include multiple LED point light sources. Specifically, the multiple LED point light sources may be a combination of at least one of cool white LED beads, warm white LED beads, and RGB LED beads. In this embodiment, the distribution and arrangement of each LED bead are not specifically limited. Each LED bead can be arranged in sections or mixed according to certain rules as needed, depending on the specific circumstances.
[0042] In one embodiment, the light source 114 can be a pulsed light source. The pulsed light source can emit pulsed light and can be a xenon lamp or a xenon flash lamp, etc.
[0043] Alternatively, the light source 114 can be a COB light source. Alternatively, the light source 114 can be an incandescent lamp.
[0044] In the embodiments of this application, the connecting cover 140 is used to fix the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding optical fiber 130 and connect the light-guiding optical fiber 130 to the lamp body 110. Referring to FIG2, in one embodiment, a through hole 141 is provided through the connecting cover 140, and the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding optical fiber 130 is fixed in the through hole 141. For example, the diameter of the light-guiding optical fiber 130 can match the inner diameter of the through hole 141. During connection, the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding optical fiber 130 is directly inserted into the through hole 141 for fixing.
[0045] In other embodiments, the light-inlet end 131 of the optical fiber 130 can be disposed within the through hole 141 via a fixing sleeve. The inner diameter of the fixing sleeve matches the diameter of the optical fiber 130, and the outer diameter of the fixing sleeve matches the inner diameter of the through hole 141. During connection, the fixing sleeve is first fitted onto the light-inlet end 131 of the optical fiber 130, and then inserted into the through hole 141 accordingly, so that the light-inlet end 131 of the optical fiber 130 is fixedly connected within the through hole 141. By providing the fixing sleeve, the fixing sleeve not only serves to fix the optical fiber 130, but also protects the light-inlet end 131 of the optical fiber 130.
[0046] In the embodiments of this application, the number of light-guiding optical fibers 130 connected to the lamp body 110 can be one or more. As shown in FIG1, in one embodiment, the number of light-guiding optical fibers 130 is one. The number of through holes 141 on the connecting cover 140 can be one.
[0047] As shown in Figure 4, in one embodiment, there are multiple optical fibers 130. The lengths of the multiple optical fibers 130 can be the same or different.
[0048] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 5, the number of through holes 141 on the connecting cover 140 is multiple, and the light-inlet end 131 of each optical fiber 130 is fixed in the through hole 141 one by one.
[0049] In the embodiments of this application, the connecting cover 140 can be a light-shielding cover structure. Except for the through-hole 141 connecting to the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding optical fiber 130, the connecting cover 140 is opaque. This allows as much light energy emitted by the lamp body 110 as possible to enter the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding optical fiber 130 and be conducted to the light-outlet end 132. Although Figure 2, for example, shows a specific structure of the connecting cover 140 with a cover structure having a slight curvature, the structure of the connecting cover 140 is not limited to this; it can also have other constructions. For example, the connecting cover 140 can be a flat plate structure, a conical cover structure, a hemispherical cover structure, etc.
[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the number of light-guiding optical fibers 130 connected to the lamp body 110 can be one or more, so that the light emitted by the lamp body 110 can be used one-to-one or one-to-many. For example, the light emitted by the lamp body 110 can be connected to one or more lighting accessories through the light-guiding optical fibers 130.
[0051] It should be noted that when the light source 114 is a single LED point light source, the light emitted from this single LED point light source can all enter into a single light guide fiber 130, achieving single-source emission and single-point light emission. Alternatively, the light emitted from this single LED point light source can also simultaneously enter into multiple light guide fibers 130, achieving single-source emission and multi-point light emission.
[0052] When the light source 114 is a multi-LED point light source, the light emitted by the multi-LED point light source can all enter a single light guide fiber 130, realizing multi-source light emission and single-point light emission.
[0053] Alternatively, the light emitted from multiple LED point light sources can enter multiple light guide fibers 130 respectively, achieving multi-source emission and multi-point light output. The multiple LED point light sources and multiple light guide fibers 130 can be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Alternatively, the multiple LED point light sources and multiple light guide fibers 130 can also be arranged in a one-to-many or many-to-many manner.
[0054] Referring to Figure 6, in this embodiment of the application, the optical fiber 130 may include a fiber core 133 and at least one cladding layer covering the fiber core 133. The number of fiber cores 133 may be one or more. When there is only one fiber core 133, the optical fiber 130 is a single-core optical fiber. When there are multiple fiber cores 133, the optical fiber 130 is a multi-core optical fiber.
[0055] In this embodiment, the optical fiber 130 is a single-core optical fiber or a multi-core optical fiber, depending on the specific circumstances.
[0056] In this embodiment, the core 133 of the optical fiber 130 can be made of optical fiber materials such as quartz, glass, and plastic.
[0057] In this embodiment, the number of cladding layers can be one, or two or more. When there is only one cladding layer, it wraps around the fiber core 133 to form the light-guiding optical fiber 130. This single cladding layer serves simultaneously as an optical reflective layer and a protective layer for light transmission in the optical fiber.
[0058] When there are multiple cladding layers, each cladding layer is sequentially wrapped around the fiber core 133. As shown in Figure 6, each cladding layer can be a first cladding layer 134, a second cladding layer 135, and a third cladding layer 136. The first cladding layer 134 is wrapped around the fiber core 133 and mainly serves as an optical reflective layer for optical fiber transmission. The second cladding layer 135 is wrapped around the first cladding layer 134 and mainly serves as a buffer, protection, and reinforcement layer. The third cladding layer 136 is wrapped around the second cladding layer 135 and mainly serves as a buffer, protection, and reinforcement layer.
[0059] For example, the first coating layer 134 can be made of materials such as fluorinated quartz. The second coating layer 135 can be made of materials such as acrylic resin, silicone resin, ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, polyurethane, and polyimide. This application does not specifically limit the application in this regard.
[0060] In the embodiments of this application, the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding optical fiber 130 is connected to the lamp body 110 via a connecting cover 140. Referring to Figure 2, in one embodiment, the connecting cover 140 and the lamp body 110 are detachably connected. Specifically, the lamp body 110 is provided with a connecting slot 123, and the connecting cover 140 is provided with a connecting protrusion 142 corresponding to the connecting slot 123, the connecting protrusion 142 being able to engage with the connecting slot 123.
[0061] As shown in Figure 7, a plurality of connecting blocks 122 are protruding on one end face of the lamp body 110, and connecting slots 123 are disposed on the connecting blocks 122. The connecting slots 123 can be L-shaped slots. The connecting slots 123 include an opening section 1231 arranged along the axial direction of the lamp body 110, and a locking section 1232 vertically connected to one end of the opening section 1231.
[0062] As shown in Figure 2, the connecting slot 123 includes an opening section 1231 extending along the axial direction of the connecting seat 120 and a locking section 1232 extending along the circumferential direction of the connecting seat 120. The opening section 1231 and the locking section 1232 are connected to each other to form an L-shape. Connecting protrusions 142 are disposed on the circumferential sidewall of the connecting cover 140 corresponding to each connecting block 122. The width of the connecting protrusions 142 matches the width of the opening section 1231. The thickness of the connecting protrusions 142 matches the height of the locking section 1232. When the connecting cover 140 is connected to the lamp body 110, the connecting cover 140 is first moved axially along the lamp body 110, so that the connecting protrusions 142 slide into the connecting slot 123 along the opening section 1231, and then the connecting cover 140 is rotated so that the connecting protrusions 142 are engaged in the locking section 1232. This achieves a detachable and fixed connection between the connecting cover 140 and the lamp body 110.
[0063] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the positions of the connecting slot 123 and the connecting protrusion 142 can be interchanged. That is, the connecting slot 123 is disposed on the connecting cover 140. The connecting protrusion 142 can be correspondingly disposed on the lamp body 110.
[0064] In the embodiments of this application, the connecting cover 140 and the lamp body 110 are detachably connected by the engaging engagement of the connecting protrusion 142 and the connecting slot 123. However, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the connecting cover 140 may also be detachably connected to the lamp body 110 by means of a magnetic structure, a threaded locking structure, or a snap-fit structure.
[0065] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the connecting cover 140 and the lamp body 110 may be an integral structure.
[0066] As shown in Figure 3, in one embodiment, the lamp body 110 includes a connecting seat 120, and a light outlet 121 is disposed through the connecting seat 120. Specifically, the lamp housing 111 can be a hollow cylindrical structure with one open end. The connecting seat 120 is disposed on the open end of the lamp housing 111, and the connecting seat 120 can close the lamp housing 111 after all the internal components are installed. The connecting seat 120 and the lamp housing 111 can be detachably connected. Alternatively, the connecting seat 120 and the lamp housing 111 can be fixedly connected.
[0067] As shown in Figure 3, the connecting cover 140 can be detachably connected to the connecting base 120. For example, a connecting slot 123 can be provided on the connecting base 120. In embodiments of this application, the connecting cover 140 can be connected to the lamp body 110 by connecting to the connecting base 120. However, this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the connecting base 120 can be omitted, that is, the connecting cover 140 can be directly connected to the lamp housing 111.
[0068] As shown in Figure 3, the light source 114 is located inside the lamp housing 111 near the connector 120. The light outlet 121 is disposed through the connector 120, and the light emitted by the light source 114 can enter the light guide fiber 130 through the light outlet 121.
[0069] In this embodiment, when the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding optical fiber 130 is fixed to the connecting cover 140, and the connecting cover 140 is connected to the lamp body 110, the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding optical fiber 130 may or may not be in contact with the light source part 114. The light source part 114 may have a light-emitting surface. The light-emitting surface may be a single-point light-emitting surface formed by a single LED point light source, or it may be a multi-point light-emitting surface formed by a combination of multiple LED point light sources.
[0070] In one embodiment, the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 abuts against the light-emitting surface. For example, when the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 is inserted into the through hole 141 on the connecting cover 140 for fixing, the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 can extend a certain distance toward the surface of the connecting cover 140 opposite to the lamp body 110 until the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 abuts against the light source part 114.
[0071] In another embodiment, the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 is arranged at a distance from the light-emitting surface. For example, as shown in FIG3, when the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 is inserted into the through hole 141 on the connecting cover 140 for fixation, the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 is flush with the surfaces of the connecting cover 140 and the lamp body 110. It is understood that when the connecting cover 140 is connected to the lamp body 110, the surfaces of the connecting cover 140 and the lamp body 110 are not tightly fitted together, but rather spaced apart. Therefore, by arranging the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 flush with the surfaces of the connecting cover 140 and the lamp body 110, the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 and the light-emitting surface can be spaced apart.
[0072] In one embodiment, an optical element is provided between the light-inlet end of the light-guiding fiber 130 and the light source section 114. This optical element can be a focusing lens, a light-diffusing filter, or a light filter. For example, when the optical element is a focusing lens, it can focus the light emitted from the light source section 114 and reflect it back to the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130, thereby improving the utilization rate of the light emitted by the light source section 114. Alternatively, when the optical element is a light filter, it can absorb some of the light emitted from the light source section 114, changing the light entering the light-inlet end 131 of the light-guiding fiber 130 to meet different photographic requirements.
[0073] In this embodiment, by arranging optical elements between the light source 114 and the light-inlet end 131 of the light guide fiber 130, the light emitted by the light source 114 can be changed according to the requirements and emitted through the light guide fiber 130, so that the fiber optic lamp 100 can meet different photography needs.
[0074] Specifically, when the connecting cover 140 is connected to the lamp body 110, there can be a gap between them, which can serve as a space for accommodating optical elements. As shown in FIG3, in one embodiment, the connecting cover 140 is connected to the connecting seat 120, and a accommodating cavity 103 is formed between them. The accommodating cavity 103 is used to accommodate optical elements, and the light emitted by the light source 114 can enter the light-guiding fiber 130's light-inlet end 131 through the optical elements.
[0075] It is understood that in other embodiments, the accommodating cavity 103 may also be formed directly between the end faces of the connecting cover 140 and the lamp housing 111.
[0076] The optical element can be directly connected to the end face of the light-inlet end 131 of the optical fiber 130. In this case, the size of the optical element can match that of the end face of the light-inlet end 131 of the optical fiber 130.
[0077] Alternatively, the optical element may be a light-emitting surface that is covered by the light source section 114.
[0078] Alternatively, the optical element may be fixedly connected to the light outlet 121 of the connector 120.
[0079] Alternatively, the accommodating cavity 103 may have a mounting position for fixing optical elements, and the optical elements may be fixedly installed at the mounting position.
[0080] As shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment of the fiber optic lamp 100, the light guide fiber 130 is connected to the end of the lamp body 110. However, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, one or more light guide fibers 130 may also be connected to the circumferential side of the lamp body 110.
[0081] In one embodiment of this application, a lighting system 10 is also provided, which includes the fiber optic lamp 100 from any of the above embodiments, and at least two lighting accessories 200. The luminous efficacy of each lighting accessory 200 is different. For example, the lighting accessories may be a photographic standard hood, a softbox, a snoot, a diffuser, etc.
[0082] Each lighting accessory can be fixedly connected to the light-emitting end 132 of the light-guiding fiber 130. For example, the lighting accessory may be provided with a light-inlet interface, and the light-emitting end 132 of the light-guiding fiber 130 can be inserted and fixed in the light-inlet interface.
[0083] The lighting system 10 in this embodiment includes an optical fiber lamp 100 and at least two lighting accessories 200. The lamp body 110 can be connected to different lighting accessories 200 via a light guide fiber 130, enabling the lighting system 10 to achieve at least two different photographic lighting effects, making it suitable for shooting in different photographic scenarios. Therefore, the lighting system 10 of this application can achieve more photographic effects, meet the shooting needs of different scenarios, and greatly improve the user experience.
[0084] In traditional lighting and decorative applications, LED strips are typically used for decoration. These strips usually emit light through a series of LEDs. Traditional LED strips require densely packed LEDs and complex circuit connections and control systems to achieve uniform illumination. The large number of LEDs, complex installation, and tendency to result in uneven distribution and high energy consumption significantly increase the difficulty of design and manufacturing.
[0085] Therefore, some embodiments provide an optical fiber lamp 100, which includes a lamp body 110 and a light guide fiber 130a connected to the lamp body 110. The light guide fiber 130a differs from the light guide fiber 130 described above in that it can emit light throughout.
[0086] Please refer to Figures 8 to 12. In this embodiment, the lamp body 110 is provided with a light outlet 121, and a light source 114 is provided inside the lamp body 110. The light emitted by the light source 114 can be emitted from the light outlet 121. The light inlet 131 of the light guide fiber 130a is connected to the light outlet 121 of the lamp body 110. The light guide fiber 130a can transmit the light emitted by the light source 114 from the light inlet 131 to the light outlet 132, and scatter the light along the extension path of the light guide fiber 130a, so that the light guide fiber 130a emits light throughout, thereby achieving a uniform lighting effect. Its overall structure is simple, easy to install, and highly flexible. Moreover, the light emitted by the light guide fiber 130a is more uniform, and it can be widely used in festive decorations, lighting scenes, and other application scenarios.
[0087] In some examples of this embodiment, the light guide fiber 130a can be a whole-body light guide fiber, a side-emitting light guide fiber, or a whole-body light guide fiber. These types of light guide fibers 130a can emit light uniformly along their entire length, providing a consistent lighting effect, and are suitable for decorative scenes that require overall uniform lighting.
[0088] Please refer to Figures 8 and 11. In some examples of this embodiment, the optical fiber 130a includes a fiber core 133a for optical transmission, a first cladding layer 134a wrapped around the fiber core 133a, and a scattering nucleus (not shown in the figure) disposed within the first cladding layer 134a.
[0089] The refractive index of the first cladding layer 134a is less than that of the fiber core 133a, allowing total internal reflection of light within the fiber core 133a. Multiple scattering nuclei are uniformly arranged at the interface between the first cladding layer 134a and the fiber core 133a, causing light propagating along the fiber core 133a to be scattered upon passing through the scattering nuclei, thus enabling the optical fiber 130a to emit light throughout its extension direction.
[0090] The fiber core 133a and the first cladding layer 134a can have the same structure as the fiber core 133 and the first cladding layer 134 described above. Specifically,
[0091] The fiber core 133a can be made of high-refractive-index materials such as quartz, glass, or polyester to ensure efficient light transmission and low loss. The first cladding layer 134a can be made of materials with low refractive index and light transmittance, such as polystyrene or polycarbonate, so that light can achieve total internal reflection within the fiber core 133a, reducing light leakage.
[0092] The scattering nuclei can be made of tiny transparent particles or microcrystals with different refractive indices, typically silicone microspheres or alumina particles. These tiny scattering nuclei are evenly distributed at the interface between the first cladding layer 134a and the fiber core 133a. When light from the fiber core 133a shines on the scattering nuclei, total internal reflection no longer occurs; some of the light is scattered by the scattering nuclei and exits from the sidewall of the optical fiber 130a, ensuring that the light is evenly scattered during its propagation within the optical fiber 130a, producing a full-body luminescence effect to suit various decorative environments.
[0093] In some examples of this embodiment, the cross-section of the light guide fiber 130a is circular, square, triangular, pentagonal, or heart-shaped. Light guide fibers 130a with various cross-sectional shapes can be used for decorative lighting to create different visual effects and atmospheres.
[0094] Heart-shaped optical fibers are particularly suitable for romantic and celebratory occasions, such as weddings and Valentine's Day. Square and pentagonal 130a optical fibers, due to their larger surface area, are suitable for edge lighting of advertising light boxes, making advertising content more eye-catching. Triangular and pentagonal optical fibers can achieve unique lighting effects, suitable for stage lighting applications to enhance the visual impact of stage performances.
[0095] In some examples of this embodiment, the lamp body 110 can be a columnar structure. The lamp body 110 can be any kind of light-emitting lamp, such as a flashlight, a photographic light, a flashlight, etc., as long as it can emit light and send light into the light guide fiber 130a.
[0096] Please refer to Figures 8 and 9. In this embodiment, the lamp body 110 and the light guide fiber 130a of the fiber optic lamp 100 are also connected by a connecting cover 140. The connecting cover 140 is provided with one or more through holes 141, and a light guide fiber 130a can be inserted into each through hole 141 so that the light-inlet end of the light guide fiber 130a extends into the connecting cover 140 and is fixedly connected to the connecting cover 140. One end of the lamp body 110 is provided with a mounting position, and the light outlet 121 of the lamp body 110 is located in the mounting position. The connecting cover 140 is detachably connected to the mounting position of the lamp body 110.
[0097] By fixing the optical fiber 130a to the connecting cover 140, and then detachably connecting the connecting cover 140 to the mounting position of the lamp body 110, the connection and disassembly speed of the optical fiber 130a and the lamp body 110 can be effectively improved, making it easier to install and disassemble the optical fiber 130a.
[0098] In some examples of this embodiment, multiple light guide fibers 130a can be connected to the connecting cover 140, meaning multiple light guide fibers 130a can be connected to the lamp body 110. These multiple light guide fibers 130a can extend in different directions to cover a larger lighting range. Furthermore, the multiple light guide fibers 130a can be arranged radially, in a ring, or linear pattern, and can be flexibly arranged according to actual needs to suit different decorative environments. Connecting multiple light guide fibers 130a to a single lamp body 110 not only improves the flexibility of lighting but also reduces the problem of limited emission color caused by a single light guide fiber 130a.
[0099] In some examples of this embodiment, the lamp body 110 may include a control module 101 and a lamp head 102, with the control module 101 and the lamp head 102 being detachably connected. The control module 101 is also provided with control buttons 116, which can be electrically connected to the light source 114. Users can use multiple control buttons 116 to send control signals to control the light emission parameters of the light source 114 in the lamp head 102.
[0100] It is conceivable that in some other embodiments, the connecting cover 140 may not be used. Instead, one or more separate light outlets 121 may be provided directly on the lamp body 110. The light-inlet end of the light guide fiber 130a may be directly fixed to the light outlet 121 of the lamp head 102 and bonded or fastened to the side wall of the light outlet 121 to achieve the fixation of the light guide fiber 130a and the lamp head 102.
[0101] In some examples of this embodiment, the light source 114 in the lamp head 102 may include one or more LED point light source units 114, each of which can emit light independently and be adjusted by a corresponding control circuit.
[0102] In some examples of this embodiment, each LED point light source unit 114 can correspond to one light guide fiber 130a to achieve precise light output and control. For example, one LED point light source unit 114 can correspond to one fully luminous light guide fiber 130a, ensuring individual control of the luminous efficacy of each light guide fiber 130a. Of course, one LED point light source unit 114 can connect to multiple fully luminous light guide fibers 130a to achieve a wider range of lighting effects and save energy.
[0103] In some examples of this embodiment, each LED point light source 114 can be a single-color temperature light source 114, a dual-color temperature light source 114, an RGB light source 114, or a mixed light source 114, so that each LED point light source 114 can emit light of different colors, different color temperatures, or different brightness under the control of the control signal.
[0104] Specifically: The single-color-temperature light source 114 emits light with a fixed color temperature, suitable for scenes requiring stable lighting effects. The dual-color-temperature light source 114 can also switch between cool and warm light to meet the lighting requirements of different time periods or scenes. The RGB light source 114 can emit light of the three basic colors of red, green, and blue, and generate a variety of colors by combining these three colors to achieve rich color effects. The hybrid light source 114 can include the above-mentioned various LED point light source units 114, allowing it to freely switch between single-color temperature, dual-color temperature, and RGB modes to achieve more flexible lighting effects.
[0105] When the lamp head 102 is equipped with multiple LED point light source sections 114 of different types, and each LED point light source section 114 corresponds to a light guide fiber 130a that emits light throughout, it can make each light guide fiber 130a on the lamp head 102 emit light with different brightness, different color, or different color temperature. One lamp head 102 can make multiple light guide fibers 130a emit different light effects, which greatly enhances the decorative effect of the fiber optic lamp 100.
[0106] In some examples of this embodiment, the user can increase or decrease the brightness of the light emitted by the light source 114 by pressing the brightness adjustment button to adapt to different lighting needs. The user can also adjust the color temperature of the light emitted by the lamp head 102 using the color temperature adjustment button. The user can also use the hue adjustment button to change the hue of the light emitted by the light source 114, such as switching between red, green, and blue (RGB) colors, or mixing multiple color effects to suit occasions requiring rich lighting effects, such as photography and stage lighting.
[0107] In some examples of this embodiment, each control button 116 can control one LED point light source unit 114, so that one control button 116 controls one light guide fiber 130a to emit light, thereby achieving precise control of each light guide fiber 130a.
[0108] In some examples of this embodiment, the control module 101 is provided with a power interface, which can be connected to an external mobile power source via a power cord to supply power to the lamp head 102 or charge the control module 101.
[0109] In some examples of this embodiment, the control module 101 of the lamp body 110 is also provided with a wireless transmission module, which is electrically connected to the light source unit 114. The wireless transmission module is used to receive control signals from an external mobile terminal and control the light source unit 114 to emit different types of light according to the control signals.
[0110] Specifically, the wireless transmission module mainly includes a receiver and a controller. The receiver can receive control signals from an external mobile terminal. The external terminal device can be a smartphone, tablet, or other remote terminal. After receiving the control signal, the receiver transmits the control signal to the controller. The controller then controls the light emission parameters of the light source 114 based on the control signal, thereby controlling the light output effect of the light guide fiber 130a.
[0111] It allows for precise adjustment of parameters such as color, color temperature, and brightness of the light emitted by the light source 114 via a remote mobile terminal, thereby controlling the light output effect of the light guide fiber optic 130a. Users do not need to directly contact the lamp body 110; they can achieve comprehensive control of the fiber optic lamp 100 through the mobile terminal, making its operation more convenient. Furthermore, a lighting system composed of multiple fiber optic lamps 100 can be centrally managed through a single mobile terminal, improving efficiency and making it suitable for large shopping malls, exhibitions, stages, or photography venues.
[0112] Please refer to Figure 12. In some examples of this embodiment, two lamp bodies 110 can be provided. The light inlet 131 and light outlet 132 of the light guide fiber 130a are respectively connected to the light outlet 121 of the two lamp bodies 110, so that the light emitted by the two lamp bodies 110 enters from both ends of the light guide fiber 130a.
[0113] The light entering at both ends of the light guide fiber 130a can effectively enhance the luminous brightness of the light guide fiber 130a; it can also prevent the problem of the brightness of the light guide fiber 130a gradually weakening along its extension direction, so that the light output brightness of each segment of the light guide fiber 130a is relatively uniform, so as to better decorate shopping malls, exhibitions, stages or photography venues.
[0114] In summary, the fiber optic lamp 100 of this embodiment includes a lamp body 110 and a light guide fiber 130a connected to the lamp body 110. The light guide fiber 130a can transmit the light emitted by the light source 114 from one end to the other and scatter the light along the entire length of the light guide fiber 130a, so that the light guide fiber 130a emits light throughout. Its overall structure is simple, easy to install, and highly flexible. Moreover, the light guide fiber 130a emits light more uniformly throughout, and it can be widely used in festive decorations and other scenarios to provide users with more convenient and diversified lighting solutions.
[0115] With users' increasingly diverse needs, such as travel photography, video creation, and life sketching, fiber optic lights that can only provide multi-color beams can no longer meet users' requirements for multiple scenarios and functions, and cannot provide users with a better user experience.
[0116] Therefore, this embodiment provides a specific lighting system 10, which includes the aforementioned fiber optic lamp 100. The light-emitting end 132 of the fiber optic lamp 100 is provided with a lighting accessory 200. In this embodiment, the lighting accessory 200 is a panel body 210.
[0117] The panel body 210 is a non-self-emissive component, and a reflective cavity is provided inside the panel body 210. An optical fiber 130 has an output end 132 connected to the panel body 210 to transmit light to the reflective cavity and then emit it from the panel body 210. Since the panel body 210 is a non-self-emissive component, it does not contain a light source itself; its light emission is achieved through the introduction of an external light source.
[0118] In some examples of this embodiment, the optical fiber 130 can be a cylindrical, slender filament structure, and the diameter of the optical fiber 130 can be 1μm-100μm.
[0119] In some examples of this embodiment, the light-emitting end 132 of the optical fiber 130 is connected to the panel body 210. The panel body 210 can be made of materials such as acrylic or glass.
[0120] The panel body 210 has a reflective cavity inside, and a reflective surface is formed on the inner surface of the panel body 210 corresponding to the reflective cavity. The reflective surface is used for light reflection. The optical fiber 130 has an output end 132 connected to the side of the panel body 210 to transmit light to the reflective cavity and then emit it after reflection by the reflective surface.
[0121] The light guide fiber 130 connects the lamp body 110 and the panel body 210. The light emitted by the light source 114 in the lamp body 110 can be transmitted through the light guide fiber 130 and enter the panel body 210, so that the point light emitted by the light source 114 is converted into the form of surface light emitted, so as to meet the user's needs for multiple scenarios and functions of light and improve the user experience.
[0122] The outer contour of the panel body 210 can be rectangular. In other examples, the panel body 210 can be set to regular or irregular shapes such as circles, triangles, polygons, and cones, depending on actual usage needs. No further restrictions are imposed here.
[0123] The panel body 210 may include a grooved panel body 211 and a light-emitting surface 212 disposed at the groove of the panel body 211. The internal space of the panel body 211 forms a reflective cavity. The panel body 211 is opaque, while the light-emitting surface 212 is translucent. The inner surface of the panel body 211 facing the light-emitting surface 212 is a reflective surface.
[0124] In some examples, mounting holes are provided on the side of the main body 211, which communicate with the reflective cavity and are used to assemble the optical fiber 130 on the panel body 210. In other examples, the mounting holes may also be located on the back of the main body 211, or at the edge of the light-emitting surface 212.
[0125] The lighting system 10 may also include a mounting component, in which the light-guiding optical fiber 130 has a light-emitting end 132 that passes through the mounting component. The mounting component is located at a mounting hole on the side of the main body 211, so that the light-guiding optical fiber 130 has a light-emitting end 132 that extends into the reflector cavity, thereby enabling the light-guiding optical fiber 130 to transmit the light emitted by the light source 114 to the reflector cavity.
[0126] In some examples, the mounting component can be screwed into the mounting hole. Specifically, an external thread can be provided on the outer circumference of the mounting component, and an internal thread adapted to the external thread can be provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole. The mounting component is fixed in the mounting hole by the screwing adaptation of the external and internal threads.
[0127] In some examples, the mounting component can be snapped into the mounting hole. Specifically, a locking block can be provided on the periphery of the mounting component, and a locking slot can be provided at the corresponding position of the mounting hole. The mounting component is fixed in the mounting hole by the snapping of the locking block and the locking slot.
[0128] In some examples, the mounting element can be adhesively attached to the mounting hole. Specifically, adhesive can be applied to the outside of the mounting element and then adhered to the inner wall of the mounting hole to secure the mounting element within it.
[0129] In some examples, the mounting component can be interference-fitted into the mounting hole. Specifically, the inner diameter of the mounting hole can be adapted to the outer diameter of the mounting component, allowing the mounting component to pass through the mounting hole with an interference fit, thereby achieving fixation of the mounting component at the mounting hole.
[0130] In addition, in some other examples, the installation of the mounting bracket can be omitted, and the light-emitting end 132 of the optical fiber 130 can be directly inserted and fixed in the mounting hole.
[0131] The optical fiber 130 connects the lamp body 110 and the panel body 210. The light emitted from the light source 114 in the lamp body 110 can be transmitted through the optical fiber 130 and enter the panel body 210. The light enters the reflective cavity of the panel body 210 from the light-emitting end 132 of the optical fiber 130. The reflective surface can reflect the light, and the reflected light can be emitted from the light-emitting surface 212, thus forming a surface-emitting light pattern.
[0132] In some examples, multiple optical fibers 130 can be provided. The side of the panel 210 has multiple mounting holes corresponding to the optical fibers 130, and these mounting holes are spaced apart along the height of the panel 210. The light-emitting end 132 of each optical fiber 130 passes through a mounting hole, and the light-incoming ends 131 of the multiple optical fibers 130 are fixed to the connecting cover 140. The multiple optical fibers 130 enable efficient transmission of light emitted from the light source 114.
[0133] In some examples of this embodiment, the panel 210 also includes a light effect element. The light effect element is disposed on the light-emitting surface 212, and the light effect element can increase the illumination effect of different lights to meet the diverse usage needs of users.
[0134] The light-emitting element can be one of the following: an optical film, a condensing lens plate, a light-diffusing layer, or a diffusion layer; it can also be a combination of multiple of these elements. The specific choice of light-emitting element can be determined according to the user's needs, and no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0135] In some examples of this embodiment, the optical fiber 130 connecting the lamp body 110 and the panel body 210 may include a first segment 137 and a second segment 138 connected to each other.
[0136] The end opening of the first section 137 facing away from the second section 138 is the light-emitting end 132, and the end opening of the second section 138 facing away from the first section 137 is the light-inlet end 131. The first section 137 extends in a straight line, and the connection between the first section 137 and the second section 138 is an arc-shaped transition.
[0137] When multiple optical fibers 130 are provided, the first section 137 of the multiple optical fibers 130 are arranged in parallel along the height direction of the panel body 210. This not only improves the overall aesthetics of the lighting system 10, but also enables the reasonable connection and compact arrangement of the components in the lighting system 10.
[0138] The lighting system 10 of this application includes an optical fiber lamp 100 and a panel body 210. The specific structure of the optical fiber lamp 100 is the same as in the first embodiment. The light-emitting end 132 of the light guide fiber 130 of the optical fiber lamp 100 is connected to the panel body 210. The light emitted from the light source part 114 inside the lamp housing 111 can be transmitted through the light guide fiber 130 and enter the panel body 210. The light entering the panel body 210 can be reflected by the reflective cavity and emitted, so that the point light emitted by the light source is converted into a surface light emitted form, enabling the optical fiber lamp 100 to meet the user's needs for multiple scenarios and multiple forms of lighting effects, effectively improving the user experience.
[0139] In photography and lighting, especially in applications such as wilderness camping or rescue, it is often necessary to place light sources at higher positions to illuminate a larger area. However, in open-air environments, the lack of suitable anchor points makes it impossible to secure lighting fixtures at high altitudes, posing a major challenge. A traditional solution is to place the power source and light source together inside a balloon, using the balloon's buoyancy to suspend the light in the air. However, this method has significant limitations. First, the overall weight of the light is considerable, especially when high-power lighting is required; the battery's weight is substantial, making it difficult for the balloon to provide sufficient buoyancy to suspend the light at the required height. Furthermore, since all components of the light are mounted on the balloon, it is difficult to easily adjust the light output brightness, greatly limiting the practicality of this method.
[0140] Therefore, in order to solve the technical problem that traditional lighting fixtures cannot effectively achieve high-altitude lighting, please refer to Figures 15 to 19. This embodiment provides a specific lighting system 10, which includes the above-mentioned fiber optic lamp 100 structure and a lighting accessory 200 disposed on the light-emitting end 132 of the fiber optic lamp 100. The lighting accessory 200 is a floating component 220.
[0141] The floating component 220 is translucent; an air-filled cavity is formed inside the floating component 220 to allow it to float in the air. The optical fiber 130 has a light-inlet end 131 and a light-outlet end 132 at its two ends. The light-inlet end 131 is located at the light-outlet port 121 of the lamp body 110, and the light-outlet end 132 is located inside the air-filled cavity of the floating component 220. Light emitted from the light source 114 enters from the light-inlet end 131 of the optical fiber 130, is transmitted through the optical fiber 130, and is then transmitted through the light-outlet end 132 to the interior of the floating component 220 for emission.
[0142] In this embodiment, the lighting system 10 achieves high-altitude lighting by placing the lamp body 110 on the ground and transmitting the light emitted by the lamp body 110 through the optical fiber 130 to the floating component 220 floating high in the air. Compared to the traditional method of placing the lamp body 110 inside a balloon, this significantly reduces the overall weight and solves the problem of insufficient buoyancy due to excessive weight. Furthermore, users can adjust the brightness and other parameters of the light source 114 using the lamp body 110 on the ground, improving practicality and flexibility.
[0143] Referring to Figure 16, in some examples of this embodiment, the float 220 includes a float body 221 and an air nozzle 222. The float body 221 encloses a closed inflation chamber. The air nozzle 222 is disposed on the float body 221 and communicates with the inflation chamber so that the air nozzle 222 can inflate the inflation chamber.
[0144] In some examples of this embodiment, the floating element 220 can be circular, square, rectangular, or hot air balloon-shaped. That is, the shape of the floating element 220 can be diversified to adapt to different application needs and aesthetic requirements. The floating element 220 can also be designed in various shapes such as elliptical and cylindrical to achieve different lighting and decorative effects. For example, a spherical floating element 220 can provide uniform lighting from all directions, while a cylindrical floating element 220 can achieve directional lighting to meet the lighting needs of a specific area.
[0145] In some examples of this embodiment, the floating body 221 may be made of a lightweight and highly transparent material, such as transparent plastic or film. These materials not only have excellent light transmission properties, but also sufficient strength and durability to withstand the effects of the external environment, such as wind and minor impacts, making them suitable for outdoor lighting.
[0146] In some examples of this embodiment, the floating body 221 can be a light-diffusing cloth that is transparent and scatters light passing through it, so that the light emitted from the light-emitting end 132 in the air cavity can be emitted after being scattered by the light-diffusing cloth.
[0147] The diffuser fabric is made of high-transmittance and high-strength fiber materials, ensuring excellent light transmission while possessing sufficient strength and durability. The surface of the diffuser fabric evenly scatters light, avoiding glare and light spots, providing a soft and uniform lighting effect. The emitted light is softer and more natural, making it more suitable for photography.
[0148] Furthermore, the material and color of the diffuser fabric can be customized to meet different application needs, such as using white or off-white diffuser fabric to provide optimal light diffusion. In addition, the flexibility and malleability of the diffuser fabric material allow the floating body 221 to be easily folded and unfolded, making it convenient to carry and store.
[0149] Referring to Figures 18 and 19, in some examples of this embodiment, the air nozzle 222 on the float 220 includes a valve body 2221 and a sealing plug 2223. The valve body 2221 is fixed to the float body 221, and the valve body 2221 has an air hole 2222 that communicates the inflation chamber with the outside. The sealing plug 2223 is detachably connected to the air hole 2222 and seals the air hole 2222.
[0150] Specifically, the vent 2222 can be designed as a one-way air intake structure, allowing gas to enter the inflation chamber during inflation and automatically closing when not inflated to prevent gas leakage. The sealing plug 2223 can be made of a soft, elastic material, and its shape fits tightly to the vent 2222, enabling quick sealing and unsealing operations through pressing and pulling.
[0151] The sealing plug 2223 has a grip 2224 on its exterior for easy operation during inflation and deflation. The sealing plug 2223 may have a sealing ring inside, so that after the sealing plug 2223 is inserted into the air hole 2222, multiple seals are formed, ensuring that the air hole 2222 is completely sealed and preventing gas leakage.
[0152] During inflation, the user simply pulls out the sealing plug 2223, inserts the nozzle of the inflation device into the air hole 2222, and inflates. After inflation, the sealing plug 2223 is reinserted into the air hole 2222 to ensure no gas leakage from the inflation chamber. During deflation, the user simply pulls out the sealing plug 2223, and the gas is quickly released through the air hole 2222, making it convenient for storage and carrying.
[0153] It should be understood that the gas injected into the inflation chamber of the float 220 by the external inflation device can be selected according to the actual situation. It is generally an inert gas with a density less than air, so as to achieve the levitation of the float 220 while ensuring safety.
[0154] In some examples of this embodiment, the floating body 221 is provided with a mounting hole. The mounting hole is a through structure, and its size and shape match the optical fiber 130 to ensure that the optical fiber 130 can be stably inserted into the mounting hole so that the light-emitting end 132 of the optical fiber 130 can be inserted into the inflation cavity.
[0155] In some examples of this embodiment, the floating body 221 is also provided with a sealing ring. The sealing ring is disposed on the mounting hole and sleeved on the optical fiber 130 to seal the connection between the mounting hole and the optical fiber 130. This prevents gas from leaking from the mounting hole and ensures the airtightness of the inflation chamber.
[0156] In summary, the lighting system 10 of this embodiment achieves high-altitude lighting by placing the light source 114 and power supply 112 within the lamp body 110 on the ground, and transmitting light through the optical fiber 130 to the floating component 220 floating at high altitude. Compared to the traditional method of placing the power supply and light source together inside a balloon, this significantly reduces the overall weight and solves the problem of insufficient buoyancy due to excessive weight. The lighting system 10 can float to a predetermined height more easily while maintaining stable and efficient lighting effects. Furthermore, users can adjust the brightness and other parameters of the light source 114 through the lamp body 110 on the ground, improving practicality and flexibility, and making it suitable for various scenarios such as camping, rescue, and photography.
