BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a projection lamp, and more particularly to a polygonal rotary projection lamp that solves a problem that patterns of a conventional polygonal projection lamp are irreplaceable and increase time and expense for printing.

2. Description of Related Art

In order to improve the lifestyle, people use a decoration lamp in their daily life. The decoration lamp has a lampshade and an illuminating unit. The lampshade is transparent and three-dimensional and covers the illuminating unit. The illuminating unit may emit light toward the lampshade. The light emitted by the illuminating unit passes through the lampshade to create a light effect for decoration.

Furthermore, a lampshade with a polygonal shape and a pattern printed thereon is produced. The lampshade is connected to a rotatable platform to form a rotary decoration lamp. The rotatable platform drives the lampshade to spin. When the light, emitted by the illuminating unit, passes through the spinning lampshade, with the pattern on the lampshade, a variety of light effects are created and decorative effect of the decoration lamp is promoted.

Nowadays, in order to produce a lampshade which is polygonal and transparent and has a pattern, two three-dimensional shells have to be made of transparent materials in advance. Each shell has to be printed with a pattern. Then, the two shells are adhered via glue. However, a surface of each shell being polygonal is composed of multiple faces arranged at various angles. When printing a pattern on each shell, the multiple faces of each shell have to be printed one by one. Each shell has to be constantly rotated for printing said pattern on each of the multiple faces of the shell, increasing time consumption. Moreover, the pattern of each shell is directly printed on the shell and cannot be replaced, such that the decorative effect of the decoration lamp is limited.

To overcome the shortcomings of the aforementioned decoration lamp, the present invention provides a polygonal rotary projection lamp to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main objective of the present invention is to provide a polygonal rotary projection lamp which can reduce cost of production.

A polygonal rotary projection lamp has a base, a polygonal frame, a film set, a polygonal fixing frame, and an illumination set. The base has a disc configured to be driven to spin. The polygonal frame is mounted to the disc and has multiple bottom frame units. The film set is mounted to the polygonal frame and has multiple film units mounted to the polygonal frame and covering the multiple bottom frame units respectively. Each film unit is flat and has a pattern. The polygonal fixing frame is detachably mounted to the polygonal frame and has multiple top frame units respectively connected to the multiple bottom frame units to respectively fix the multiple film units. The illumination set is mounted within the base and emits light toward the polygonal frame. The light passes through each film unit with the pattern to project the pattern.

Benefits of the present invention are:

In the process of manufacturing the polygonal rotary projection lamp of the present invention, the polygonal frame, the film set, and the polygonal fixing frame are manufactured individually. The film units of the film set are respectively covered on the bottom frame units of the polygonal frame.

Then, the polygonal frame is assembled to the disc of the base, and assembly of the polygonal rotary projection lamp of the present invention is finished. Each film unit of the film set is flat, is convenient for printing patterns, and can save time for printing and reduce production cost. Since the film set can be printed in advance and can be connected to the polygonal frame by simple assembly, production time of the polygonal rotary projection lamp of the present invention is shortened accordingly. In addition, the film set can be detached from the polygonal frame and replaced by another film set with different patterns.
