Some candle bulbs use lenses to increase the proportion of downward light emission, but the proportion of the downward light emission may be only about 30%. If it is necessary to further improve the proportion of the downward light emission, electroplating treatment needs to be conducted on the lenses, and a coating layer made of a reflecting material is used for reflecting light rays so as to increase the proportion of the downward light emission. However, in a case that the lenses are electroplated, the cost is increased, meanwhile, the coating layer will gradually break away along with time increasing, which makes influence on the optical effect.

As illustrated in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 (an arrow in FIG. 4 shows the path of light transmission), a lens 100 according to the first example of the present disclosure is used for a lighting lamp, for example a candle bulb. The lens 100 comprises a cylindrical lens body 101 or a conical lens body 101, a light incident component 1 and a light reflecting component 2 arranged at two ends of the lens body 101 respectively, and a light emitting component 3 arranged at a side of the lens body 101.

The lens body 101 is provided with a side wall 102 and further provided with a first end and a second end which are located at two ends of the side wall 102, the first end is provided with a first end surface 103 intersecting with the side wall 102, and the second end is provided with a second end surface 104 intersecting with the side wall 102. The side wall 102 is formed by rotating a straight line or an arc line around an axis 105 of the lens body.

The light incident component 1 is arranged at the first end of the lens body 101. The light incident component 1 comprises a light source accommodation groove 11 for accommodating a light source 200 of a lighting lamp. The light source accommodation groove 11 comprises a groove wall 13 located at the side and an upper end surface 12 towards the second end of the lens body 101. The upper end surface 12 is a rotation surface formed in the manner that a line rotates around the axis 105 of the lens body 101, and one end of the line is located on the axis 105 of the lens body 101. After the light source 200 is fixed in the light source accommodation groove 11, the axis of the light source 200 is located on the axis 105 of the lens body 101, so as to realize a total reflection by the light reflecting component 2 and facilitate to control light. The upper end surface 12 is a convex surface (as illustrated in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3) protruding toward the second end of the lens body 101, and accordingly the light can deflect towards a center of the lens body 101.

The groove wall 13 surrounds the upper end surface 12, and the groove wall 13 can be a light transmitting groove wall 13. In this situation, the light incident component 1 further comprises a reflecting surface 14 located at a side of the light source accommodation groove 11, and the light is reflected to the light reflecting component 2 by the reflecting surface 14. The reflecting surface 14 is located between the light source accommodation groove 11 and the side wall 3 of the lens body 101 (as illustrated in FIG. 4), the structure is simple, and it is convenient to control light.

The light incident component 1 extends beyond the first end surface 103, and an installing surface 15 protruding toward the first end is formed by the lower end surface. A substrate 300 of the lighting lamp is arranged on the installing surface 15. Through the arrangement, the structure is simple, and it is convenient to install.

The light reflecting component 2 is arranged at the second end of the lens body 101, the lens body 101 is provided with a concave part 21 formed by extending along a direction from the second end surface 104 to the first end surface 103, the concave part 21 is in an inverted cone shape, and a sawtooth surface 22 is distributed on the inner surface of the concave part 21. The sawtooth surface 22 comprises a plurality of extension surfaces 23 surrounding the axis 105 of the lens body 101 and sequentially intersecting, and each of the extension surfaces 23 extends in the direction from the first end surface 103 of the lens body 101 to the second end surface 104 of the lens body 101. Light emitted by the light source 200 passes through the light incident component 1 firstly and then irradiates to the light reflecting component 2 after being gathered by the light incident component 1, and the light irradiating to the light reflecting component 2 irradiates to the light emitting component 3 after being totally reflected by the two adjacent extension surfaces 23.

In which, as illustrated in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 (the arrow shows the path of light transmission), the light path passing through the two adjacent extension surfaces 23 is that the light incidents to a point a of the first extension surface 231 through the light incident component 1, the light is totally reflected to a point b of the second extension surface 232 and then the light is totally reflected to the light emitting component 3 through the second extension surface 232. For the first extension surface 231 and the second extension surface 232 which are intersected, from the top view, in a case that the light irradiates to the point a of the first extension surface 231, the light can be reflected to the point b of the second extension surface 232 according to a total reflection principle and then the light is reflected from the point b of the second extension surface 232, and finally the relationship between the emitted light and the incident light is in accordance with the total reflection angle relation.

Usually, the total reflection is achieved in the lens 100, the incident angle between the light and the light reflecting component 2 needs to be large enough, otherwise, the light can be transmitted out, and the angle will vary depending on the material of the lens 100. If the sawtooth surface 22 is not arranged, in a case that the light arrives at the second end the incident angle cannot reach the total reflection angle, and the transmission is formed. After the sawtooth surface 22 is arranged, in a case that the light arrives at the point a of the first extension surface 231, the incident angle is larger than a critical angle of total reflection, and the total reflection is realized. Thus, by arranging the sawtooth surface 22, light irradiating to the second end of the lens body 101 can be emitted with an optical effect of the total reflection. Thus, by arranging the sawtooth surface 22, the luminous efficiency is improved, the cost is reduced and the service life is prolonged without the electroplating treatment; and an outer surface of the lens 100 is uniform, the bright sense can be formed by the light reflecting component 2, and the design sense of the product can be embodied.

All the extension surfaces 23 are the same in shape. The two adjacent extension surfaces 23 are perpendicular to each other, and in other words, an included angle between the two adjacent extension surfaces 23 is 90 degrees. The intersecting line of the two adjacent extension surfaces 23 is a generatrix of the concave part 21, and in other words, the two adjacent extension surfaces 23 are symmetric relative to the plane extending along the axis 105 of the lens body 101. In this way, the total reflection optical effect formed by the light reflecting component 2 is a mirror total reflection optical effect, that is, the light incident angle is equal to the light emitting angle, and it is convenient to control light.

At least a portion of light emitted by the light emitting component inclines towards the first end to form the lower luminescence, so that the lens 100 can be applied to a candle bulb and so on. In an arrangement manner of the light reflecting component 2, the generatrix of the concave part 21 is an arc line. The axis of the concave part 21 coincides with the axis 105 of the lens body 101. In the direction from the first end of the lens body 101 to the second end of the lens body 101, included angles between the extension surfaces and the axis of the lens body are gradually increased, and a minimum included angle between the extension surfaces and the axis of the lens body is less than 45 degrees, and a maximum included angle between the extension surfaces and the axis of the lens body is greater than 45 degrees. Through such an arrangement, the lens 100 is installed in the candle bulb, and in a case that the candle bulb is applied to a crystal ceiling lamp or a marble ceiling lamp and so on, light emitted from the candle bulb can better light up the crystal ceiling lamp or the marble ceiling lamp.

Inclination angles of various parts of the sawtooth surface 22 can be set according to the requirements. The shape of the concave part 21 can be set according to requirements.

The side walls 102 located between the first end surface 103 and the second end surface 104 are all configured as the light emitting component 3. The light emitted from the light emitting component 3 is refracted. The lens 100 may be a plastic lens 100 to increase the texture, and the lens 100 serves as a part of a light emitting mask 400. Of course, the lens 100 may also be a glass lens and so on.

As illustrated in FIG. 7 to FIG. 10, the lens according to the second example of the present disclosure is different from the lens according to the first example in that a side wall 102′ of a lens body 101′ in the second example is a curved surface, and an inclination degree of the side wall 102′ in the second example is larger than an inclination degree of the side wall 102 in the first example. An installing surface 15′ of a light source accommodation groove 11′ is flush to a first end surface 103′, and an upper end surface 12′ of the light source accommodation groove 11′ is a plane. The side wall 102′, close to the first end surface 103′, of the lens body 101′ serves as a reflecting surface 14′ of a light incident component 1′, and a reflecting surface 14′ can be formed by plating a reflecting layer on the side wall 102′ of the lens body 101′. The side wall 102′, close to the second end surface 104′, of the lens body 101′ is configured as a light emitting component 3′. A height, a shape and the like of the light reflecting component 2′ can be adjusted according to the light incident component 1′ and the light emitting component 3′.

It should be noted that, the light incident component 1 and the light incident component 1′ are different in forming manner, the shape, the size, the inclination degree, the low point and the like of the concave part 21 and the concave part 21′ can be correspondingly adjusted, and accordingly light can be reflected to a required region through the concave part 21 and the concave part 21′.
