2, this is in distance between the optical lens 130,132 in the zoom sub-component 150 apart from expression.Plain tube bank 160 passes the surface 138,140 of the optical lens 132 that is depicted as collimation lens in the zoom sub-component.Yet, should be understood that, depend on application, optical lens 130 and 132 can have the function different from the function described in the present embodiment.So, the transmission of collimation of plain tube bank appears in order to produce therefrom basically uniformly pupil or light beam 162, its have by described one or more optical lenses 130,132 and collector lens 48 between variable spacing d
1, d
2The divergence profiles 148 of control.In other words, variable spacing d
1, d
2The control zoom.
Should be understood that, the structure of the collimating optics of LED shown in Fig. 1 to 8 device blocks can change.For example, optical conductor 46 and collector lens 48 can integrally form or be bonded together in order to form integral unit.In any situation, these two parts still are called optical conductor 46 and collector lens 48.Such as determining preferred constructing technology specific to characteristic and the factor the cost used.
Yet, should be understood that, optical conductor is not limited to cylindrical wall portion.Optical conductor also can comprise the non-cylindrical shape of the inner space that creates different wall parts and correspondence.For example, optical conductor can comprise faceted wall part, and this wall part has 6 sides.In addition for example, optical conductor can comprise the wall part with 8 sides.In other words, optical conductor can comprise that the side of any amount or facet and it may further include circle or cylindrical wall portion.And as discussed previously, optical conductor can be taper.
Be in the instruction that this paper provides for other embodiment of the optical conductor 46 of optical zoom assembly 16.As discussed previously, optical conductor 46 can be taked various shapes.Except having various shapes, optical conductor 46 can or have the mixing tubulose, rod of sidewall for for example tubulose, wherein have tubulose or its combination of main body.
Be similar to optical conductor 46, the main body of collector lens 48 can have various forms, comprise the main body that for example has sidewall, the main body for solid element with wall part and reflecting material, the main body that has side wall member and the solid element with wall part and reflecting material wherein is set, perhaps its combination.Similarly, as mentioned, optical lens 130,132 structure and place and can change similarly.
Referring now to Fig. 9, the optical lens 130,132 of optical zoom assembly 50 is moved mutually more closely.Especially, auxiliary holding tank lens 130 and zoom lens 132 are as one man shifted to collector lens 48, so that the variable spacing d between collector lens 48 and the auxiliary collecting lens 130
1Reduce and auxiliary holding tank lens 48 and zoom lens 132 between variable spacing d
2Remain unchanged.As shown in the figure, plain tube bank 150 is mixed and then assembled at collector lens 48 places when it passes optical conductor 46.The gathered light 158 of mixing incides on the flat surfaces 134 of auxiliary holding tank lens 130 and is further assembled when passing therefrom.Then, plain tube bank 160 traverse distance d before leaving as the light beam 162 with divergence profiles 148
2And pass zoom lens 142.
As will pointing out, divergence profiles 148 by described one or more optical lenses 130,132 and collector lens 48 between variable spacing d
1, d
2Control.In this embodiment, the divergence profiles 148 among Fig. 9 is greater than the divergence profiles 148 among Fig. 8, because variable spacing d
1Reduced.When described one or more optical lenses 130,132 and collector lens 48 between variable spacing d
1, d
2When reducing, the divergence profiles 148 of light beam 162 broadens.For example, optical zoom assembly 16-1 activates from Fig. 8 to Fig. 9.On the other hand, when described one or more optical lenses 130,132 and collector lens 48 between variable spacing d
1, d
2During increase, the divergence profiles 148 of light beam 162 narrows down.For example, optical zoom assembly 16-1 activates from Fig. 9 to Fig. 8.
In Figure 10, collection or collector lens 48 are oriented to as close as possible optical conductor 46, and similarly, collector lens 48, optical lens 130 and optical zoom lens 132 are oriented to as close as possible in order to form nested arrangement in tight volume.In this embodiment, when the distance between the lens 48,130,132 was minimized, refraction effect caused maximizing the net effect of the divergence profiles 148 of light beam 162.
Figure 10 has drawn and has wherein regulated variable spacing d
1, d
2The example of the two.This actuating of passing through zoom sub-component 50 is to regulate variable spacing d
1With internal actuating in the zoom sub-component 50 to regulate variable range d
2Realize.Should be understood that, the divergence of the divergence profiles 148 by the optics chain depends on the distance of the separation between lens 48,130,132 the surface and lens 48,130,132 compositions itself.And, light beam passes the differentiation of lens series and behavior by Snell's law (Snell ' s Law) domination, according to this law, the light that from the transfer of air to glass or more generally is delivered to more unsound medium from finer and close medium is refracted and leaves surface normal.In the embodiment shown, the dynamics of given optics, when lens 48,130,132 are oriented to when more close together, divergence profiles 148 increases.In other words, when the interval between the lens 48,130,132 increased substantially, divergence profiles 148 reduced usually.
Figure 11 and Figure 12 have drawn a plurality of light beams 150 of another embodiment that passes through optical zoom assembly 16.In this embodiment, comprise that the zoom sub-component 50 that has in this embodiment surface 172,174 single zoom lens 170 has the variable spacing d with respect to collector lens 48
1As passing through relatively Figure 11 and shown in Figure 12, the variable spacing d between collector lens 48 and the zoom lens 170
1Optionally controlled and reduced in order to increase the divergence profiles 148 of light beam.Should be understood that variable spacing d
1Can be by increasing apart from d
1Optionally controlled in order to reduce the divergence profiles 176 of light beam 178.Should be understood that, zoom sub-component 50 can comprise the optical lens of any amount and arrangement therein, so that variable spacing d
1D
nBe created in order to optics chain and the divergence profiles 148 of robust as needed are provided.And form and the function of the optical lens in the zoom sub-component 50 also can change along with application.
Figure 13 has drawn a plurality of light beams of another embodiment that passes through optical zoom assembly 16.As shown in the figure, compare with Figure 12, optical lens 170 has different internal optics attributes.This causes the different collection modes in the optical lens 170, and also causes the different divergence profiles 176 of light beam 178.
To provide and discuss now the experimental result that obtains from modeling prototype optical zoom apparatus.Figure 14 has drawn representative for the angle of the baseline intensity of the tightly packed device of individual layer and the curve map of zoom travel relationships.Here, the vertical angle of light incident represents with the number of degrees, and the zoom stroke represents with millimeter, so that angle is the function of zoom stroke shown in line 190.Figure 15 has drawn illumination figure and Figure 16 with distribution 192 and has shown this illumination figure has distribution 194 along the x axle cross section or section.
