At present, just as described above, there are many kinds of light guide lighting engineering.But, these technology all come with some shortcomings.Such as, for wedge-shaped light guide, if its length is long, then its end is likely to attenuate is a featheredge, and this featheredge will be difficult to manufacture or fixing, and likely in use fractures or break.On the other hand, the precision of production and processing is then proposed high requirement by the light guide realizing light-guiding function by forming fine protrusions structure, thus causing that the production cost of light guide rises.
Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a kind of light guide, its structure is relatively simple, it is easy to production and processing, and is easily installed fixing.
On the one hand, present disclose provides a kind of light guide, this light guide includes: light input end;Light guide body, this light guide body has substantially invariable thickness and width in its longitudinal direction;Light directing face;And light gasing surface;This light input end is one of in two ends on the length direction of light guide body, and light input end is provided with light source;Light directing face is an interarea of light guide body, and another interarea that light gasing surface is light guide body, and relative with light directing face;Wherein light directing face is smooth, and the three-dimensional light extraction structures of multiple hollows is arranged on light guide, and this is internal, and closes on light gasing surface.Usually, when the light guide of the disclosure is normally placed, its light directing face and light gasing surface are its two faces opposing upper and lower.
On the whole, the light guide of the disclosure can strip linearly, it is also possible in the strip of bending.But, both shapes are only two nonrestrictive examples.Those of ordinary skill in the art are it will be understood that without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure, the cast body in its longitudinal direction with essentially identical regular geometric shapes vertical section all can as the light guide of the disclosure.Herein, " vertical section " of light guide refers to the cross section intercepting this light guide gained with the perpendicular of the length direction being perpendicular to light guide.Such as, as nonrestrictive example, this vertical section of the light guide of the disclosure has rectangle, positive direction, circle, ellipse, mushroom-shaped or the geometry such as trapezoidal.
In the disclosure, the thickness of light guide refers to, when intercepting this light guide with the perpendicular being perpendicular to its length direction, occupy the maximum vertical distance between 2 of the upper and lower both sides of vertical section of gained respectively;The width of light guide refers to, occupy the maximum horizontal range between 2 of the left and right sides, theaforesaid vertical cross section respectively.When light guide is in the strip of bending, for avoiding the corner light leakage at this light guide too much, the bending radius (i.e. its radius of curvature) of this light guide should be greater than 10: 1 with the ratio of its thickness.
This light guide can by many kinds are transparent or semitransparent, material that optical property is suitable makes.These materials include Merlon (PC), polyacrylate (such as polymetylmethacrylate), polystyrene (PPE), glass and other there are the plastics of high index of refraction.
For avoiding unnecessary optical scattering, the whole outer surface of the light guide of the disclosure need to through optical polish.Know the detail of optical polish owing to those of ordinary skill in the art are generally individually, the disclosure does not repeat them here.
In the disclosure, the light directing face of light guide is " smooth ", refers to that the roughness in this light directing face meets requirement light being totally reflected and leading.Know the detail in this type of light directing face owing to those of ordinary skill in the art are generally individually, the disclosure does not repeat them here.
Except the above, another important aspect of the light guide of the disclosure is in that its light extraction structures comprised.In the disclosure, the multiple light extraction structures included by light guide are positioned at light guide body interior.These light extraction structures have hollow or are called hollow 3-D solid structure, and namely in these light extraction structures, the propagation medium of light is air.
In the disclosure, the three-dimensional light extraction structures of each hollow is in two the side upper sheds being different from its light directing face and light gasing surface of light guide, but not in its light directing face and/or light gasing surface upper shed.This actually means that, on the length direction of light guide, only exists the three-dimensional light extraction structures of string hollow.In other words, on each vertical section being perpendicular to its length direction of light guide, there is at most the cross section of a light extraction structures.And, the three-dimensional light extraction structures of these hollows is in the intrinsic degree of depth of light guide, i.e. distance between the face nearest from light gasing surface of these light extraction structures and light gasing surface, less than the 20% of the vertical size (i.e. the thickness of light guide) being perpendicular to its length direction of light guide.But, on the other hand, this degree of depth is generally higher than 1mm.This is because, when this degree of depth is less than 1mm, the light extraction structures of light guide and inside thereof will become prone to be destroyed by external force.Preferably, this degree of depth is 1mm to 2mm.
Preferably, the three-dimensional light extraction structures of multiple hollows that the light guide of the disclosure includes has well-regulated geometry.Such as, as nonrestrictive example, the three-dimensional light extraction structures of these hollows can adopt the geometries such as common hollow cubic body, hollow cuboid, hollow cylinder, hollow class trapezoid block.In other words, when intercepting with the perpendicular of the length direction being parallel to light guide, the cross section of the three-dimensional light extraction structures of these hollows is square, rectangle, right-angled trapezium or circle;When intercepting with the perpendicular of the length direction being perpendicular to light guide, the cross section of the three-dimensional light extraction structures of these hollows is square, rectangle, circle, ellipse or tetragon.
In different application scenarios, according to the length of light guide and the requirement to illuminating effect, it is possible to the size of hollow three-dimensional light extraction structures, quantity and distribution that light guide of this disclosure includes are adjusted.Such as, those of ordinary skill in the art understand, if illumination uniformity requirements is higher, then need more smaller light extraction structures.Higher in the local light intensity near light source, it is possible to be distributed less light extraction structures, to reduce the light intensity of effusion;Relatively low in the local light intensity away from light source, it is possible to be distributed more light extraction structures, to increase the light intensity of effusion.Additionally, be the inhomogeneities avoiding local lighting, in three-dimensional light extraction structures empty in these, the distance between adjacent light extraction structures is no more than 2 times of they sizes (i.e. the length of themselves) on light pipe length direction.
Additionally, with regard to these hollows three-dimensional light extraction structures itself, according to actual needs, on the vertical direction of length direction being perpendicular to light guide, the size of the three-dimensional light extraction structures of these hollows can be substantially invariable, it is also possible to be change.And, for avoiding the appearance of shade, on the vertical direction of length direction being perpendicular to light guide, the ratio of the size of the three-dimensional light extraction structures of each hollow and the thickness of light guide is between 1: 5 to 1: 50.
Fig. 1 is the principle schematic diagram of the light pipe system according to the disclosure.Specifically, Fig. 1 has illustrated the situation that there is an angle between light entrance face and the light gasing surface 104 of light guide 102 of the light extraction structures 105 in light guide 102.Specifically, if there is an angle β between the light-emitting face 104 of the light entrance face of light extraction structures 105 and light guide 102.If the angle of incidence that light is on the light directing face 103 of light guide 102 is α, according to geometrical relationship, can show that light angle of incidence on the light entrance face of light extraction structures 105 is alpha-beta.Assuming that air refraction is 1, the refractive index of light guide 102 is n, then according to refractive index formula, light refraction angle after the light entrance face of light extraction structures 105 is θ=arcsin [n* (alpha-beta)].In like manner can obtain, light angle of incidence on the light gasing surface 104 of light guideThe expression formula of θ is substituted into, can obtainAnalytical expression.By total reflection theorem it can be seen that work asDuring more than cirtical angle of total reflection arcsin (1/n), light will penetrate from the light gasing surface 104 of light guide 102.Otherwise, it is internal that light will be reflected back toward light guide 102, continue to propagate forward, until next light extraction structures changes its propagation path again.
Above-mentionedAlthough analytical expression in the situation shown in fig. 1 through being derived from, but, those of ordinary skill in the art will be appreciated by, its be equally applicable to those hollow three-dimensional light extraction structures with the light entrance face vertical with the length direction of light guide (as in cuboid, the light extraction structures of square, cylindrical shape), now, angle β=90 degree between light entrance face and the light gasing surface of light guide of these light extraction structures.And, from above-mentionedAnalytical expression it can be seen that whether light can penetrate from light guide, and there is direct relation in the angle β between the light entrance face of light extraction structures and the light gasing surface of light guide.Specifically, this angle β determines one to set a distance (namely from light input end to the distance of this light Exit positions) light ratio of outgoing from light guide.And when light extraction structures is cylindric hollow-core construction, the radius of column structure can affect the ratio of beam projecting equally.
