This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201910705107.9 with a filing date of Aug. 1, 2019. The content of the aforementioned applications, including any intervening amendments thereto, are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the technical field of lighting fittings, in particular to a panel lamp.
As a lighting fitting, the panel lamp in the prior art has two light-emitting modes, that is, a direct-type light-emitting mode and a lateral-type light-emitting mode. In view of larger whole thickness of the panel lamp adopting the direct-type light-emitting mode, the panel lamp adopting the lateral-type light-emitting mode is required in some installation scenario.
The panel lamp adopting the lateral-type light-emitting mode comprises a frame, a lamp panel, a light guide plate, reflective sheet, a lampshade and a rib supporting the lampshade. In the prior art, there is a certain clearance between the light source on the lamp panel and the light guide plate so as to cause certain light leakage. In addition, the light guide plate clings to the lampshade, therefore, light leaked from the space between the light source on the lamp panel and the light guide plate directly emits out from the lateral sides of the lampshade, further causing a poor irradiation effect. To prevent the above problem, the rib in the prior art is widened, in this case, light leaked can be shielded, but a wider rib would bring poor use comfortableness to users.
The technical problem to be settled by the present invention is to provide a panel lamp that is good in irradiation effect and comfortable for users to use.
The technical solution adopted to resolve the above technical problem provides a panel lamp, comprising a frame, a lamp panel, a light guide plate, reflective sheet, a lampshade and a rib supporting the lampshade. There is a clearance between the light guide plate and the lampshade.
In a preferred embodiment, the frame is provided with a strut member, and the strut member comprises a horizontal portion for supporting the lamp panel and a tilting portion for blocking light spots of the lamp panel.
In a preferred embodiment, the tilting portion contacts the light guide plate.
In a preferred embodiment, the width of part of the titling portion proximal to the light guide plate is larger than the width of the part far away from the light guide plate.
In a preferred embodiment, the tilting angle of the tilting portion is 20-60°.
In a preferred embodiment, the length of the horizontal portion of the strut member (5) is more than the thickness of the lamp panel, but equal to or less than the length of the rib.
In a preferred embodiment, the rib is 2.5-4 mm long.
In a preferred embodiment, two sides of one end of the titling portion proximal to the light guide plate are both in arc surfaces.
In a preferred embodiment, the rib and the strut member are both integrally molded with the frame.
In a preferred embodiment, there is a clamping slot on the lampshade whereby the rib is embedded to lock the lampshade. A limit slot is also arranged between the lampshade and the frame. The strut member also comprises a vertical portion joined to the horizontal portion and embedded in the limit slot to lock the strut member.
By adopting the abovementioned structure, as compared to the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: there is a clearance between the light guide plate and the lampshade, so that light leaked from the space between the light source on the lamp panel and the light guide plate first passes through the clearance and then partially diffuses, therefore, light irradiated out from the lampshade becomes less so that the rib can be made narrower, thereby achieving a good irradiation effect and bringing comfort user experience to users by means of a narrow frame.
A strut member comprising two portions is arranged, that is, a horizontal portion for supporting and a titling portion for light shielding, therefore, light leaked from the space between the lamp panel and the light guide plate is shielded by the titling portion, light leakage hardly happens even never happens. In such a case, there is no need to lengthen the rib to shield light, that is to say, the rib may be made shorter only for supporting the lampshade, producing a good irradiation effect and bringing comfortable use experience to users.
Abutting the titling portion against the light guide plate has the effect of completely shielding the light leaked from the space between the lamp panel and the light guide plate. In addition, the titling portion of the strut member also plays a role in supporting the light guide plate so as to omit other structures for supporting the light guide plate.
The width of part of the titling portion proximal to the light guide plate is larger than the width of the part far away from the light guide plate, therefore, it can support the light guide plate well, and is high in reliability.
By setting the titling angle of 20-60°, a good light shielding effect is achieved under different lamp panel situations.
The length of the horizontal portion of the strut member is more than the thickness of the lamp panel, but equal to or less than the length of the rib, therefore, the rib may be made narrower, and the lampshade is convenient to install and fix.
The rib is 2.5-4 mm long, in such a case, the rib becomes narrower, and users are comfortable to use.
Two sides of one end of the titling portion proximal to the light guide plate are both in arc surfaces, therefore, a user is prevented from being scratched in installation, so safety hazard is low.
The rib and the strut member are both integrally molded with the frame, which will produce high installation efficiency and high reliability of a whole structure.
The strut member and the frame are separately arranged, so when the strut member is damaged, merely the strut member needs to be replaced rather than the whole frame, thus maintenance cost is low.
The reference numerals denote that: 1 frame; 2 lamp panel; 3 light guide plate; 4 lampshade; 5 strut member; 6 rib; 7 horizontal portion; 8 titling portion; 9 reflective sheet; 10 back panel; 11 support plate; 12 vertical portion.
The present invention will be described in detail hereinafter by referring to the following embodiments, but not limited thereto.
In Embodiment One, as shown in
The frame 1 is integrally molded with a support plate 11, a strut member 5 and a rib 6, and the lamp panel 2 is accommodated between the strut member 5 and the support plate 11, that is, one end of the lamp panel 2 contacts and abuts against the strut member 5, while the other end of the lamp panel 2 contacts and abuts against the support plate 11. The strut member 5 comprises a horizontal portion 7 and a titling portion 8, the horizontal portion 7 is horizontally arranged on one end of the frame 1 for supporting the lamp panel 2, and the titling portion 8 titles at an angle of 20-60° and contacts and abuts against the light guide plate 3 to support the light guide plate 3; therefore, light emitted from the light emitting component of the lamp panel 2 is totally shielded by the strut member 5 instead of being leaked from the underside of the lamp panel 2, then has to enter into the light guide plate 3 and is reflected out by the reflective sheet 9. Further, in this embodiment, as the portion, contacting the tilting portion 8, of the light guide plate 3 is at the leftmost side of the light guide plate 3, not only are the roles in shielding light and supporting given into a full play, but also the size can be made smaller to avoid influencing light-emitting effect as far as possible. Due to the strut member 5, the light guide plate 3 and the lampshade 4 can be separated from each other. One end of the titling portion 8 of the strut member 5, proximal to the light guide plate 3, that is, two sides of the upper end of the titling portion 8 in
A first clamping slot is arranged between the strut member 5 and a baffle, the lampshade 4 is mounted within the first clamping slot but does not completely stretch into the first clamping slot, that is, the lampshade does not contact the bottom of the first clamping slot; the lampshade 4 is also provided with a second clamping slot into which the baffle is embedded; the rib 6 is as long as the horizontal portion 7 of the strut member 5, preferably it is 2.5-4 mm long.
A portion of the support plate 11 further extends to support the back panel 10.
The panel lamp in the present application operates pursuant to the following work principle: the light emitting component of the lamp panel 2 on the frame 1 emits light rays, a small portion of light rays is leaked from the space between the lamp panel 2 and the light guide plate 3 but shielded by the strut member 5, so that no light is leaked from the lampshade 4. Even if a little light is leaked from the light guide plate 3 or light spots are generated, due to a certain clearance or distance between the light guide plate 3 and the lampshade 4, it/they will be scattered, at a result, a majority of light irradiates into the light guide plate 3 and then is reflected to one side of the lampshade 4 by the reflective sheet 9 behind the light guide plate 3, and finally uniform light rays are given off from the lampshade 4.
