An embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a lamp, as shown in
The air supply module 1 is used for continuously producing a blowing air flow to function as a bladeless fan. Specifically, as shown in
When the air blower 10 is started, air may be continuously drawn in and taken out through the air outlet 100 of the air blower 10 in a form of air flow, and the air flow may enter the air inlet 14 after leaving from the air outlet 100 of the air blower 10 and enter the annular air passage 13 along the air inlet 14. The air flow may be annularly delivered to each position by the annular air passage 13 and then blown from the air outlet 15 to the side faced by the first end surface 11c. These blown air flows may be blown to the right front of the first end surface 11c or blown at a relatively inclined angle.
The air outlet 15 may extend in a circumferential direction of the annular housing to form a narrow opening so as to increase flow rate of the air flow. In order to ensure that the air flow is relatively uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, the plurality of air outlets 15 may be simultaneously arranged in the circumferential direction of the annular housing 11.
Moreover, on this basis, different air outlet effects may be further achieved in a way of changing directions of these air outlets 15 in the present embodiment. For example, a portion or all of the air outlets 15 may be inclined towards a center of the annular housing 11, in this way, the air flows blown out from these air outlets 15 may be shifted towards the center of the annular housing 11, so that wind power on a central position of the lamp is strengthened. Or, a portion or all of the air outlets 15 may be inclined towards a periphery of the annular housing 11, in this way, the air flows blown out from these air outlets 15 may have greater offsets, so that the blowing range of the lamp is widened.
Of course, in some embodiments, the air outlet 15 inclined towards the center of the annular housing 11 and the air outlet inclined towards the periphery of the annular housing 11 may also be provided at the same time, and even, the air outlet 15 disposed towards the right front may be provided at the same time. These kinds of air outlets 15 are matched with each other to achieve more complex and variable air outlet effect, so that user experience is improved.
In the present embodiment, the air outlet 15 may be disposed in the inner ring surface 11a, the outer ring surface 11b or the first end surface 11c of the annular housing 11. However, compared with a solution in which the air outlet 15 is disposed in the first end surface 11c, a solution in which the air outlet 15 is disposed in the inner ring surface 11a or the outer ring surface 11b has a certain limitation in terms of air outlet angle. If the air outlet 15 is disposed in the first end surface 11c, the above-mentioned problem may be avoided. Moreover, at the moment, a shape of the annular air passage 13 may be designed to taper from a side close to the second end surface 11d to a side close to the first end surface 11c, in this way, the air flow may be gradually accelerated when flowing to the air outlet 15 in the first end surface 11c, so that air flow with a higher initial speed may be obtained.
In the present embodiment, the air inlet 14 may protrude towards an inside of the annular region 12 to form an air flow passage. In this way, on one hand, a position of the air blower 10 may be selected more flexibly, and it is unnecessary to cling the air blower 10 to the annular housing 11. For example, at the moment, the air blower 10 may be disposed on a central position of the annular region 12 to ensure that a center of gravity of the air supply module 1 is closer to a structural center, thereby being beneficial to the improvement of structural stability. On the other hand, the protruded air inlet 14 may also play certain roles in carding and guiding the air flows to ensure that there is sufficient space for the air flow to change from flowing appropriately along an radial direction at the moment of entering the air inlet 14 to flowing along the circumferential direction inside the annular air passage 13, so that the loss of kinetic energy is reduced. The air inlet 14 may be smoothly connected with the annular air passage 13 to further reduce wind resistance.
In order to fix the air blower 10, the air supply module 1 in the present embodiment may further include a tray 16, the tray 16 is located in the annular region 12 and is fixedly connected with the annular housing 11, and the air blower 10 is fixedly disposed on the tray 16. In the present embodiment, the tray 16 may be assembled separately with the annular housing 11, or integrated with the annular housing 11. For example, as shown in
In order to more comprehensively protect the air blower 10, the air supply module 1 in the present embodiment may further include an upper cover 17, the upper cover 17 covers the tray 16 and forms an accommodating chamber 18 together with the tray 16, and the air blower 10 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 18. In order to ensure that air may normally enter the air blower 10, the upper cover 17 and/or the tray 16 is required to be provided with a gas inlet 170. When the tray 16 is integrated with the lower housing 112, it is greatly difficult to dispose the gas inlet 170 in the lower housing 112, the cost is relatively high, and therefore, at the moment, the upper cover 17 may be provided with the gas inlet 170 individually.
Further referring to
The ceiling plate 3 is used for fixing the lamp. Specifically, the ceiling plate 3 is fixedly disposed on the ceiling or wall, the air supply module 1 is fixedly disposed on the ceiling plate 3 in a way that the first end surface 11c faces away from the ceiling plate 3. The lighting module 2 may be fixedly disposed on the air supply module 1 or fixedly connected with the ceiling plate 3 after directly penetrating through the annular region 12. The driving module 4 may be disposed inside the ceiling plate 3 and electrically connected with the air blower 10 and the lighting module 2, and the driving module 4 may control a rotating speed of the air blower 10 so as to further regulate the wind volume. In addition, the driving module 4 may automatically regulate and control light and color of the lighting module 2, for example, a sensor may be disposed to sense change of ambient light, sound or temperature, and when the ambient light is monitored to be reduced or obvious sound is monitored, the driving module 4 may control the lighting module 2 to improve the light intensity so as to provide lighting for an environment. Besides, a receiving module may also be disposed to receive control signals from a remote controller, a mobile phone and the like, and the driving module 4 controls the air blower 10 and the lighting module 2 according to these control signals.
The lighting module 2 is disposed at the side of the annular housing 11 which is close to the first end surface 11c and is relatively far from the ceiling plate 3 so as to be preferably fixed on the air supply module 1. The lighting module 2 may be fixed with the annular housing 11, and when the air supply module 1 is provided with the tray 16, the lighting module 2 may also be fixe to the tray 16.
Specifically, the tray 16 may be connected and fixed with the lighting module 2 by using a bolt 5, and the bolt 5 may be disposed separately or integrated with the tray 16 or the lighting module 2. Moreover, the bolt 5 may be matched with a nut or a threaded hole. In order to guarantee higher stability of the bolt 5, a backing plate 6 is further disposed in the present embodiment, a surface of a side facing the air blower 10 of the tray 16 is provided with an insertion groove 160, the backing plate 6 is disposed into the insertion groove 160, and the bolt 5 penetrates through and abuts with the backing plate 6. By using the backing plate 6, the bolt 5 may achieve a stable abutting surface, so that the connection stability of the bolt 5 is improved, and shaking is reduced.
The lighting module 2 in the present embodiment may adopt various structures, for example, a light emitting component 20 is matched with a lens and a mask to form a ceiling lamp structure, or a reflector may also be additionally disposed as required to form a spot lamp structure, and even, a traditional bulb may be adopted. That is, there are no limitations on the structure of the lighting module 2 in the present embodiment.
In consideration of the reduction of overall thickness of the lamp, the lighting module 2 preferably adopts a structure with relatively small thickness. For example, the lighting module 2 may include a light emitting component 20, a fixing part 21, a light guide component 22 and a light transmitting plate 23, wherein the fixing part 21 is a main structure of the lighting module 2 and is used for fixing other components and also fixing the overall lighting module 2 and other structures. The fixing part 21 may be made of a metal material with relatively high strength, both the light emitting component 20 and the light guide component 22 are fixedly disposed in the fixing part 21, a direction of the light emitting component 20 is consistent with a direction of the first end surface 11c and the light emitting component 20 is used for emitting light ray to the side faced by the first end surface 11c. Generally, the lighting module may distribute light for the light emitting component 20 by adopting a lens and a light transmitting cover, but the lens and the light transmitting cover are required to be disposed in the front of the light emitting component 20, and therefore, a thickness of the lighting module may be greatly increased. In the present embodiment, the light guide component 22 and the light transmitting plate 23 are used as light distribution elements. Specifically, the light transmitting plate 23 extends in a direction parallel to the first end surface 11c, and a part of the light transmitting plate 23 extends into the fixing part 21 and is fixed with the fixing part 21.
The light transmitting plate 23 is provided with a light incident surface 230 and a light exiting surface 232, wherein a direction of the light exiting surface 232 is consistent with a direction of the first end surface 11c, and the light incident surface 230 is vertical to the light exiting surface 232. The light guide component 22 is used for guiding the light ray emitted by the light emitting component 20 to the light incident surface 230, and the light guide component 22 may guide light by adopting an arc-shaped reflecting surface or other ways. After entering the light transmitting plate 23, these light rays may be propagated in an extension direction of the light transmitting plate 23 and emitted out from the light exiting surface 232. The light guide component 22 in the present embodiment and the light transmitting plate 23 are matched to be substantially arranged in parallel, and therefore, the thickness of the lighting module 2 may be effectively reduced.
In the present embodiment, the light transmitting plate 23 may be made of a unilateral semitransparent material such as a mirror, in this way, it is impossible for a user to view a rear of the light transmitting plate 23 via the light transmitting plate 23. However, in some embodiments, the light transmitting plate 23 may also be made of a completely transparent material such as glass, in this way, the user may directly view a structure at the rear via the light transmitting plate 23, and thus, the lamp has different appearance effects. However, if the light transmitting plate is made of the completely transparent material, it is possible that the light rays are emitted out from the surface of a side of the light transmitting plate 23 which faces away from the light exiting surface 232, thereby lowering the light intensity. Therefore, the surface of the side of the light transmitting plate 23 which faces away from the light exiting surface 232 may be provided with a plurality of silk screen points or laser code points for reflecting the light rays. The light rays may be reflected to the light exiting surface 232 by using the silk screen points or laser code points, thereby improving the light intensity. The silk screen points or laser code points may be arranged in various shapes such as a radial, annular or spiral shape.
In the present embodiment, the light transmitting plate 23 may be of various shapes such as a rectangle and a sector, while an annular light transmitting plate 23 may achieve the maximum area and a relatively uniform lighting range, and therefore, the light transmitting plate 23 in the present embodiment is recommended to adopt an annular structure, the fixing part 21 is located in the middle of the annular structure, and an inner side of the light transmitting plate 23 extends into the fixing part 21. Now, in order to protect the light transmitting plate 23, an outer side of the light transmitting plate 23 may be surrounded by a circle of protective jacket 24 for protection.
