The general beam focusing technologies are Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens, reflector or lens plus reflector. The light distribution of the TIR lens has characteristics of large thickness and high cost. The characteristic of the light distribution of the reflector is that a part of light cannot be focused through the reflective surface and is directly emitted, the secondary light spot of the light spot is relatively large and the thickness is large. The beam angle of some LED lighting fixtures may not be adjusted either.
As shown in
The main light-emitting surface 141 and the auxiliary light-emitting surface 142 protrude toward a side away from the light incident portion 11, the protruding height of the auxiliary light-emitting surface 142 gradually decreases in a direction away from the main light-emitting surface 141. The structure of the main light-emitting surface 141 and the auxiliary light-emitting surface 142 enables the light emitted from the light-emitting portion 14 to be more concentrated. The auxiliary light-emitting surface 142 is a curved surface, which helps to further concentrate the emergent light 223. As shown in
The light incident portion 11 and the light-emitting portion 14 are arranged opposite to each other, and the light incident portion 11 faces the lamp body 22 of the light-emitting assembly 20. The light incident portion 11 includes a main light incident surface 111, and the main light incident surface 111 protrudes toward a side away from the light-emitting portion 14. The light incident portion 11 includes the main light incident surface 111 and auxiliary light incident surfaces, and convex portions 16 are provided around the main light incident surface 111, the convex portions 16 protrude toward the side away from the light-emitting portion 14, or the convex portions 16 protrude toward the lamp body 22 of the light-emitting assembly 20, and surfaces of the convex portions 16 facing the main light incident surface 111 are the auxiliary light incident surfaces, or surfaces of the convex portions 16 facing the lamp body 22 are the auxiliary light incident surfaces, surfaces of the convex portions 16 away from the main light incident surface 111 are reflective surfaces 13, or surfaces of the convex portions 16 away from the lamp body 22 are reflective surfaces 13.

As shown in
At least two convex portions 16 are provided, and the protruding heights of the at least two convex portions 16 increase sequentially in the direction away from the main light incident surface 111, so that the auxiliary light incident surfaces can more fully receive the light emitted by lamp body 22 of the light-emitting assembly 20, and the light distribution effect is improved. The convex portions 16 preferably have a ring structure. The height of the convex portion 16 furthest from the main light incident surface 111 is higher than the height of the main light incident surface 111, which is beneficial for the auxiliary light incident surfaces to more fully receive the light emitted by the lamp body 22 of the light-emitting assembly 20.

In the following, the lighting fixture of this example will be described with an example in which three lenses 10 are provided. The three lenses are circumferentially distributed on the installation plate 30. The light-emitting assembly 20 includes the light plate 21 and the lamp bodies 22 distributed on the light plate 21, and the light-emitting assembly 20 includes at least three groups of lamp bodies 22, each group of lamp bodies 22 is arranged opposite to a lens 10. The amount of the lamp bodies 22 included in each group of lamp bodies 22 may be provided as required, and the amount of the lamp bodies 22 included in each group of lamp bodies 22 may be one, in this case, the light-emitting center of this one lamp body 22 is the light-emitting center of the light-emitting assembly 20. In the case that each group of lamp bodies 22 includes at least two lamp bodies 22, the light-emitting center of the group of lamp bodies 22 is the light-emitting center of the light-emitting assembly 20.
The installation plate 30 is provided with a step shaft 33 on the surface facing the light plate 21, and the step shaft 33 may be integrally injection molded with the installation plate 30, the molding process is simple, and no assembly is required. The step shaft 33 includes at least three shaft sections, and the interface of adjacent shaft sections is a restrictive surface. At least two restrictive surfaces are provided on the step shaft 33. Preferably, the step shaft 33 includes four shaft segments to form three restrictive surfaces. In the following, the lighting fixture of this example will be described with an example in which four shaft sections of the step shaft 33 are provided.
The diameters of the four shaft sections become larger in sequence in the direction away from the light plate 21, the areas of the three restrictive surfaces become larger in sequence. Correspondingly, at least one group of restrictive holes 211 is distributed on the light plate 21, the amount of groups of the restrictive holes 211 is the same as the amount of the step shafts 33, and three groups of the restrictive holes 211 and three step shafts 33 may be provided. The connection lines of distribution points of the three step shafts 33 form a triangle, so that the installation plate 30 is reliably supported on the light plate 21. The amount of restrictive holes 211 in each group is the same as that of restrictive surfaces, both of them are three.
Different step shafts are fitted with different restrictive holes in a plug-in manner, and different restrictive surfaces are restrictively fitted with different restrictive holes. The distance between the installation plate 30 of the lighting fixture and the light plate 21 of the lighting fixture in this example is adjustable, so that the purpose of adjusting the beam angle can be achieved. The beam angle may be 12°, 24°, and 36°. The user can adjust the distance between the installation plate 30 and the light plate 21 as needed, and then the beam angle can be adjusted.
The installation plate 30 and the light plate 21 are arranged in parallel, and the beam angles of the lenses 10 can be changed by changing the distance between the installation plate 30 and the light plate 21. The distance between the installation plate 30 and the light plate 21 is set according to the size of the light-emitting surface of the lamp body 22. Specifically, the length of the shaft sections of the step shaft 33 are set according to the size of the light-emitting surface of the lamp body 22, so that after different restrictive surfaces are fitted with different restrictive holes 211, the beam angle can be 12°, 24°, and 36°.
In the process of adjusting the beam angle, firstly, the installation plate 30 is separated from the light plate 21, and then the installation plate 30 is rotated relative to the light plate 21, and finally the step shaft 33 is fitted with another restrictive hole 211 in the plug-in manner, the another restrictive hole 211 is restrictively fitted with another restrictive surface. The installation plate 30 is preferably a disc-shaped structure, correspondingly, the light plate 21 is also a disc-shaped structure. The center line of the installation plate 30 coincides with the center line of the light plate 21, the advantage is that: during the rotation of the installation plate 30, the installation plate 30 and the light plate 21 are always aligned in the length direction of the lamp housing 40, and the size in a horizontal direction will not be increased due to the relative rotation of the installation plate 30 and the light plate 21, so there is no need to increase the horizontal size of the lamp cavity 41, which is beneficial to save the volume of the lamp cavity 41. The horizontal direction here refers to the direction perpendicular to the center line of the installation plate 30 or the center line of the light plate 21.
The structure of the light-emitting portion 14 of the lighting fixture of this example enables the emergent light 223 to be more concentrated, and the beam angle according to this example is adjustable.
As shown in
The inner surface of the lamp housing 40 is provided with a supporting portion 42 for supporting the light plate 21 and fixing the positions of the light-emitting assembly 20 and the light distribution assembly in the length direction of the lamp housing 40. The lamp housing 40 has a light outlet 43, the light-emitting portions 14 of the lenses 10 face the light outlet 43, and the light outlet 43 is equipped with a transparent cover 50 that blocks the light outlet 43, and the transparent cover 50 plays roles of dustproof and waterproof.
The light-emitting center of the lamp body 22 is the light-emitting center 221. As shown in
