Background technology
Illuminator can attract people's notice, and businessman's signboard lamp house commonly used attracts client or does advertisement, architect and design teacher especially in view of the above theory design illuminated ceiling, illuminated metope and the illuminated outer facade of building etc.The basic structure of this type of luminescent system is at the translucent printing opacity screen of light source installed in front, to let light see through the printing opacity screen, builds a kind of atmosphere of elegance, or image or the information on the printing opacity screen is passed to people.
Above-mentioned luminescent system uses incandescent lamp usually, and fluorescent lamp or neon light etc. are as light source.As everyone knows, some luminous efficiency of these light sources is low, and power consumption is big, and some service life is short, and neon light etc. then need be operated under the high voltage, and security incident very easily takes place.
Along with the progress of science and technology, invented out LED for illumination in recent years, as a kind of new type light source, its luminous efficiency is high, power consumption is low, the life-span is long, operating voltage is low.United States Patent (USP) proposes a kind of signboard lamp house system for No. 6964507 for this reason, and the structure of its light-emitting device is that a light emitting diode is installed in hollow terrace with edge shape reflection shield; This light emitting diode is roughly the double cone shape.One end is a base, is installed on the reflection shield, and the other end is can irradiant concave surface, the translucent printing opacity screen towards reflection shield open side the place ahead.For the irradiate light printing opacity screen of avoiding light-emitting diodes tube end concave surface to be sent forms bright hot spot on screen; The technical scheme of this case is included between translucent printing opacity screen and the light-emitting diodes tube end concave surface and installs a non transparent layer additional, particularly directly is coated in the skin of paint on this concave surface.
The shortcoming of above-mentioned signboard lamp house system is; A light emitting diode only is installed in reflection shield; Its power is bigger, for erose diffuser, because the direction of illumination of light emitting diode is fixed; Dark angle can appear in the sidewall of diffuser, and light can't be radiated at each corner of diffuser sidewall equably.And this non transparent layer is blocked the part light that light emitting diode sends, and reduces the luminous efficiency of light emitting diode, causes luminous flux to reduce energy dissipation; As for the skin of paint that directly is coated on the concave surface, not only have above-mentioned shortcoming especially, and influence LED heat radiating, especially will force light to return in the light emitting diode, cause luminous diode temperature to raise, shorten service life.
In addition, the light that light emitting diode sent causes the light-emitting device in the signboard lamp house system that uniform illumination can not be provided, thereby has a strong impact on the effect of whole system through on the printing opacity screen, forming the bright ring of light after the reflection shield reflection.Although mention in this case specification the reflection shield inner surface is coated with white paint, however the fact show, still have the ring of light on the printing opacity screen with this understanding, only be degree different and with.
The specific embodiment
Clearer for technical problem, technical scheme and beneficial effect that the present invention will be solved, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment, the present invention is further elaborated.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explanation the present invention, and be not used in qualification the present invention.
Before describing the specific embodiment of the invention in detail, must be pointed out at this: " light emitting diode " used in the present invention speech not only comprises and sends visible light (wavelength 380nm to 780nm), and comprises and send infrared ray or ultraviolet light emitting diode.
As shown in Figure 1, the uniform illuminating device 100 that the embodiment of the invention provides comprises one group of light emitting diode 300, circuit board 400 and reflection shield 500.As main points of the present invention, wherein light emitting diode 300 is the single face type light emitting diode, and their shapes according to reflection shield 500 in reflection shield 500 are arranged in a circle, and 350 (see figure 3)s of light-emitting area separately are outside circle, in the face of reflection shield 500.
Single face type light emitting diode 300 is installed in the front of circuit board 400 respectively, and mode can be welding or uses thermal conductance epoxy resin gluing etc.For the heat that light emitting diode 300 is produced distributes better, can in circuit board 400, metal level be set, such as aluminium lamination, and make it to constitute the heat conduction with single face type light emitting diode 300; Perhaps, can add the external heat sink of other forms or shape, to promote radiating effect.As shown in Figure 2, the back side of circuit board 400 is provided with control circuit 450, is used for regulating or control input current or voltage, so that each single face type light emitting diode 300 is realized functions such as light on and off simultaneously, light on and off successively, intermittently light on and off, flicker, deepening.Control circuit 450 can be with each single face type light emitting diode 300 serial or parallel connection (condition be that external power source can provide enough voltage or electric currents), so that the luminous situation of light emitting diode 300 is controlled or control individually jointly.
As shown in Figure 3, each single face type light emitting diode 300 has light-emitting area 350 and pair of pins 380.Pin 380 is used to provide being electrically connected between the p-n junction (not shown)s in power supply and the light emitting diode 300.After adding suitable voltage, light-emitting area 350 can be sent radial light beam; Be noted that; This light beam (plane, X-Y axle place in like Fig. 3) angle of departure on the plane that is parallel to light emitting diode 300 bottom surfaces is 120 °; Therefore three single face type light emitting diodes 300 of the minimum employing of the present invention and make it suitably to form a circle can be around 360 ° of ground irradiations of Z-Z axle reflection shield 500.
These type of 300 the presents of single face type light emitting diode have been widely used in occasion backlight; And finding has the SWTS1007 series of SSC company (Seoul Semi-Conductor) and the LW Y1SG series of Ao Silamu optical semiconductor company (OSRAM Opto Semi-conductor) on the market; Its distinguishing feature is that energy consumption is low; About about 0.125W, thereby caloric value is less, and the inner additional optics of minute surface, reflector, refractile body, lens and so on that do not contain.
As a kind of preferred embodiment of the present invention, light emitting diode 300 can send white light, with x=0.33, is advisable near the y=0.33 in the photochromic coordinate in CIE (International Commission on Illumination) 1931 standard colorimetric systems.Under the situation that emits white light, can use generations such as colour filter that coloured light is arranged.When a certain specific when photochromic in the needs CIE1931 standard colorimetric system, can select for use and send the monochromatic light emitting diode 300 of respective wavelength.Perhaps through a plurality of monochromatic light emitting diodes 300 of different wave length that send are carried out luminous intensity adjustment, and blend required photochromic.Preferably make each single face type light emitting diode 300 send ruddiness, green glow, blue light respectively, carry out luminous intensity adjustment, and blend required photochromic through control circuit 450.
Please referring to Fig. 4, as another main points of the present invention, reflection shield 500 is the diffuse reflection reflection shield, and its shape and position are that all light 50 that can impel Light-Emitting Diode 300 to be sent totally reflect along the Z-Z axle, become diffuse reflection light beam 55.The representative value of the inner surface diffuse reflectance of reflection shield 500 is more than 0.85.This type of reflection shield finding has the anodized aluminum product of my Nuo De company (Alanod) of Germany, and the product of Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd (FurukawaElectric Company Limited).For example, and the PETG of Furukawa company (polyethylene terephthalate, PET) froth pulp---foaming PETG (MCPET), its diffuse reflectance is greater than 0.95, and total reflectance is 0.98.All metals or nonmetal reflection shield, all inner surface diffuse reflectances all can be used as reflection shield 500 greater than 0.85.
Reflection shield 500 can be any required shape, and its cross section can be polygon, and such as triangle, square (as shown in Figure 1), rectangle, pentagon, hexagon etc., cross section also can be circle, Long Circle, ellipse, fan-shaped, not even regular shape.Simultaneously; Reflection shield 500 also can cover zone as much as possible; The front that comprises circuit board 400; Therefore for uniform illuminating device 100 provides maximum reflective surface area, circuit board 400 can be arranged at the bottom outside of reflection shield 500, and the respective perforations (not shown) that 300 of each light emitting diodes pass on reflection shield 500 bottoms stretches in the reflection shield 500.Perhaps, then add diffuse reflector to increase reflective surface area in the front of circuit board 400 if circuit board 400 is arranged in the reflection shield 500.
The inner surface diffuse reflectance of reflection shield 500 can be guaranteed youth uncle reflection greater than 0.85.Under youth uncle conditioned reflex, be radiated at the abundant scattering of light on diffuse reflector surface, no matter observer's visual angle is how, this surperficial brightness is all identical for the observer.With the technical standpoint of specialty more, no matter promptly the visual angle how, this surperficial brightness is all identical.This phenomenon also is called youth uncle cosine law sometimes.
Can obviously find out by Fig. 4 simultaneously; The present invention adopts three above single face type light emitting diodes 300 to use in groups; For identical total energy consumption (such as 1 watt), low power LED (such as 0.125 watt) then can adopt the light emitting diode 300 (is 1: 8 ratio for 1 watt) of greater number.In other words, adopt a plurality of low power LEDs 300 to substitute large-power light-emitting diodes and mean, thereby on bigger degree, precondition is provided for uniform irradiation reflection shield 500 to the rearranging of light flux distribution situation.
Particularly, adopt a plurality of light emitting diodes 300 to form a circle, light-emitting area 350 is outside circle; Making can be according to the shape of cross section of diffuser 500; Rationally arrange the position of each light emitting diode 300, make it respectively according to required direction the sidewall of uniform irradiation reflection shield 500.Be foursquare reflection shield 500 for cross section shown in Figure 1 for example, light emitting diode 300 can surround square cast accordingly, makes each sidewall of reflection shield 500 receive light more equably.
Adopt that a plurality of light emitting diodes 300 substitute that high-power persons can also adjustment member light emitting diode 300 to the position, make it to shine reflection shield 500 with suitable distance and incidence angle.Know by optical theory, can adjust the illuminance in corresponding area to be illuminated territory on the reflection shield 500 like this, and then make the whole sidewall of reflection shield 500 receive light equably.For example surround the situation of square cast for above-mentioned light emitting diode 300; Promptly can further be directed against the sidewall sections at 500 4 seamed edge places of reflection shield; The light emitting diode 300 that aligns four jiaos of places of square cast carries out adjusting to the position; Make it to shine the sidewall at above-mentioned seamed edge place, make the illuminance at this place consistent as far as possible, thereby guarantee that whole sidewall receives light more equably with the elsewhere with suitable distance and incidence angle.
In addition, adopt a plurality of light emitting diodes 300 to form a circle, the more feasible spacing that can adjust 300 of light emitting diodes impels the whole sidewall of reflection shield 500 evenly to receive light to the full extent.Like this, no matter which kind of shape the shape of cross section of diffuser 500 is, even concave shaped such as crescent, its sidewall all can reach and evenly receive light state, and dark angle can not occur.
Evenly receive at reflection shield 500 sidewalls under the situation of light and youth uncle reflection, can guarantee to be parallel on the illuminated plane of X-Y plane (Fig. 1) has quasi-homogeneous surface brightness.For example when two or above reflection shield 500 side by side the time, blackening (dark area or boundary line) comes across reflection shield 500 peripheries often.This situation evenly receives can avoid under light and the youth uncle conditioned reflex at reflection shield 500 sidewalls.In the signboard industry, the uniformity often is defined as luminance difference or the contrast between zones of different on the same plane of being paid close attention to.With the technical standpoint opinion, the uniformity promptly is regarded as evenly greater than 0.85.
See also Fig. 6, the uniform illuminating device 100 of a plurality of embodiment of the invention is arranged in this signboard lamp house 600, this lamp box 600 comprises casing 65 and printing opacity screen 68, casing 65 each uniform illuminating device 100 of supporting wherein, and printing opacity screen 68 covers the front side of lamp box 600.Printing opacity screen 68 is translucent, and most of light that reflection shield 500 is reflected is able to appear.In most of occasions, printing opacity screen 68 serves as a kind of diffuser, makes light diffusion, so that see through the output light of printing opacity screen 68 shape that is evenly distributed.
See also Fig. 7, light emitting diode 300 is in apart from printing opacity with circuit board 400 and shields 68 a certain distances, 62 places, to let whole printing opacity screen 68 be able to illuminated by the light that is reflected in the uniform illuminating device 100.For avoiding speck (bright areas) and blackening (dark area) occurring on the printing opacity screen 68, should keep empty spacious between circuit board 400 and the printing opacity screen 68, must not be occupied by any other reflector, reflective mirror, lens or reflective skin of paint and so on optical equipment.Only can use protective layer 63 (Fig. 5) to cover and holding circuit plate 400 and luminous two pipes 300, to avoid receiving mechanicalness or damage of electric property and interference, electric short circuit for example, electromagnetic interference, moisture etc.In preferred embodiment, the distance 62 that printing opacity screen 68 and circuit board are 400 is less than 2 inches (50.8mm).
Compare to 8 inches thicker sizes such as (203.2mm) of prior art; Above-mentioned distance 62 is significant less than 2 inches; The uniform illuminating device 100 that is the embodiment of the invention is applied to lamp box and illuminated metope; During illuminated ceiling and so on luminescent system, the thickness that can make this type systematic is attenuate greatly.Lamp box is thin, makes outstanding building structure metope take public place, also is prone to by government permission; The metope luminescent system is thin, and taking careat must lack; The ceiling luminescent system is thin, then can avoid with ceiling in other imbed conflicts mutually such as thing such as air-conditioning pipe, fire extinguishing spray thrower, public communication system.System is both thin, and weight is from light, can take in concurrently light and handy just.Above-mentioned distance 62 is actually because light-emitting device of the present invention 100 is luminous even less than 2 inches (50.8mm), but due to the uniform irradiation printing opacity screen 68.
In another embodiment, printing opacity screen 68 can be made into refractive body, and casing 65 then is translucent.Again return casing 65 after being changed direction by the light after the diffusion by refractive body.
As other examples of the present invention, what the illuminated diode 300 of single face sent also can be ultraviolet ray, and printing opacity screen 68 can be used the uniform light of reflection shield 500 reflections instead to casing 65 at this moment; Or should scribble embedded photoluminescent material on the printing opacity screen 68, and such as fluorescence or phosphor material, evenly exciting through ultraviolet ray, embedded photoluminescent material can appear uniform light at casing 65; Or what the illuminated diode 300 of single face sent is infrared ray, makes the present invention that uniform night vision illumination can be provided.
