Description

Light emitting device and window light simulation system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a light emitting device, and more particularly, to a light emitting device and a window light simulation system capable of simulating sunlight irradiation.
Background
Many buildings and the like in the current society have many activity spaces such as control rooms, meeting rooms and the like on one floor. However, not every of these activity spaces can have windows through which sunlight can directly enter, so that people active in these activity spaces cannot view sunlight or outdoor scenery. This can affect the mood of people moving in these activity spaces or fail to provide a conduit for regulating their mind and body.
Although it is possible to provide a light emitting device simulating the irradiation of sunlight or a display device capable of displaying pictures such as scenery in these moving spaces for the purpose of adjusting the body and mind. However, this method is insufficient in simulation of simulating the irradiation of sunlight.
For example, in the prior art, a light-emitting device may be provided to simulate the irradiation of sunlight, and the light-entering end of the light-emitting device is a horizontal plane, so that after the light-guiding member receives the light, the light must be reflected by a certain distance to leave the light-guiding member from the first surface. This may cause the light guide part to partially guide the emitted light and partially not to guide the emitted light. For example, when the light input end is above the light guide member and the light source module is above the light guide member and irradiates light toward the light guide member, it may cause the problem that only the lower half portion of the light guide member can guide the light and the upper half portion cannot guide the light, so that the quality is not good and the simulation of simulating the irradiation of sunlight is not enough.
Further alternatively, in order to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, a microstructure or the like is provided on the light exit surface of the light guide, but when a user views the light emitting device simulating the irradiation of sunlight, the user may see a fog-like feeling on the surface of the light guide, which may result in a poor taste.

Fig. 1 to fig. 6 are related schematic views of a light emitting device according to a first embodiment of the invention. The light-emitting device 1 of the present invention can be applied to a general lamp, a window light simulation system, a display, or the like. As shown in the drawings, the light emitting device 1 of the present invention includes a fixing frame 11, a light source module 12 and a light guide 13.
The fixing frame 11 may be a frame-shaped element made of plastic or metal material, and the fixing frame 11 may have a structure capable of properly fixing the received element, such as a locking hole, a clamping portion, a snap group, and the like, which are well known to those skilled in the art. The light source module 12 is disposed on the fixing frame 11, and the light source module 12 is configured to emit a light. The light guide 13 is made of a transparent or light-conductive plastic material, and is disposed on the fixing frame 11 and located at one side of the light source module 12. Further, the light guide 13 has a first surface 131 and a second surface 132 opposite to each other, and a light incident end 133 and a bottom end 134 opposite to each other. In addition, the second surface 132 is not parallel to the first surface 131, the light incident end 133 and the bottom end 134 are located between the first surface 131 and the second surface 132, and the light incident end 133 is adjacent to and corresponding to the light source module 12 to receive the light emitted from the light source module 12, so that the light leaves the light guide 13 from at least the first surface 131 in a predetermined manner. For example, as shown in fig. 1, when the light L is emitted from the light guide 13 in an oblique manner from the first surface 131, as shown in fig. 5, it can be irradiated on an object (e.g., a floor) in a manner simulating the oblique irradiation of sunlight.
In detail, as shown in FIG. 2 and please refer to FIG. 1. As shown in fig. 1, the bottom end 134 may be a plane parallel to the first direction X, and the second face 132 may be a plane parallel to the second direction Y; wherein the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y, i.e. the second surface 132 is perpendicular to the bottom end 134. Specifically, a first imaginary straight line IL1 may be formed in the direction from the light incident end 133 to the bottom end 134 or in the direction from the bottom end 134 to the light incident end 133, which is an imaginary line along the second direction Y. The first imaginary straight line IL1 has a first included angle θ 1 with the outer side surface of the first face 131, and preferably the first included angle θ 1 is greater than or equal to 0.45 ° and less than or equal to 3.7 °. Incidentally, since the first included angle θ 1 is defined to be greater than or equal to 0.45 ° and less than or equal to 3.7 °, even if the light emitting device 1 of the present invention is enlarged, the thickness of the light guide 13 is not changed too much, so that the influence of the thickness change of the light guide 13 on the light emitting device 1 is still small, and the light emitting device 1 can be more conveniently disposed on or in a wall.
Since the first surface 131 and the second surface 132 are disposed in a non-parallel manner, after the light guide 13 receives the light L of the light source module 12, the light L is reflected inside the light guide 13 and leaves the light guide 13 through the first surface 131. Therefore, when the light emitting device 1 of the present invention is applied to a simulated window, it can highly simulate the irradiation of sunlight, for example, the simulation of oblique sunlight. In addition, since the first surface 131 and the second surface 132 are disposed in a non-parallel manner, the light L of the light source module 12 can be directly emitted from the first surface 131 after being transmitted by the light guide 13 at the light emitting surface, for example, the first surface 131 without disposing microstructures such as dots. Thus, the light guide member 13 can improve the transparency of the user when viewing without giving a fog-like feeling, thereby improving the quality of the user when viewing. As shown in fig. 6, the light emitting device 1 according to the present invention can be applied to a refrigerator having a transparent front door, for example, and can be installed in the front door. Under the operation, the user can still clearly see the contents in the refrigerator through the light guide member 13, and the light of the light source module 12, for example, the light emitting a predetermined color, can be used to achieve the purpose of decoration or beautification.
As shown in fig. 3, the light incident end 133 includes at least two light incident portions 136, and the light incident portions 136 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the light incident end 133. In the figure, the longitudinal direction of the light incident end 133 is represented by the third direction Z. Further, the light incident portions 136 respectively include at least two light incident surfaces 137, and it should be particularly noted that the light incident surfaces 137 respectively have different light incident inclination angles θ 2, so as to receive the light L through the light incident surfaces 137.
A second imaginary straight line IL2 can be formed in the direction from the first surface 131 to the second surface 132 or in the direction from the second surface 132 to the first surface 131, i.e., the second imaginary straight line IL2 is an imaginary line along the first direction X. In particular, each incident light surface 137 and the second imaginary straight line IL2 may have an incident light inclination angle θ 2 greater than or equal to 5 ° and less than or equal to 45 °.
Particularly, to avoid the problem that the lower half of the light guide 13 can guide the emitted light L and the upper half of the light guide 13 cannot guide the emitted light L, the light incident end 133 includes at least two light incident portions 136, and each light incident portion 136 further has at least two light incident surfaces 137, so that the light L is received through the light incident surfaces 137 with different angles, so as to obtain a larger reflection angle at the beginning, and increase the number of times of the internal reflection of the light L on the upper half of the light guide 13, thereby enabling part of the light to be guided out on the upper half of the light guide 13. Therefore, the purpose of uniformly guiding out light by using the light guide piece 13 is achieved.
In addition, as shown in fig. 4, at least one of the light incident surfaces 137 may have a positioning portion 138, and preferably, at least two light incident surfaces 137 have positioning portions 138 respectively. The positioning portion 138 is disposed adjacent to a sharp corner between the light incident surface 137 and the second imaginary straight line IL 2. In addition, the positioning portion 138 may be formed by disposing the light incident surface 137 in a step shape, or disposing a bump, a groove, etc. on the light incident surface 137, and the step shape of the positioning portion 138 is exemplified in this embodiment, but should not be taken as a limitation. Therefore, when the light source module 12 is assembled, the positioning portion 138 can be used to position the light source module 12 on the light incident surface 137, and the light source module 12 is not prone to shift due to vibration and other problems in subsequent use.
It should be noted that the number of the light incident portions 136 may preferably be two to four, and the number of the light incident surfaces 137 included in each of the light incident portions 137 may preferably be four to ten. With this arrangement, it is possible to appropriately compensate for a portion where the emitted light cannot be partially guided. In addition, the light source module 12 may be a single light emitting unit or a plurality of light emitting units, and the light emitting unit 121 may be a light emitting diode or the like; of course, the light source module 12 may also include a control circuit, a power connection interface, and other elements. When the light source module 12 includes a plurality of light emitting units 121, the light emitting surface 122 of each light emitting unit 121 corresponds to each light incident surface 137, for example, the light emitting surface 122 of each light emitting unit 121 is parallel to each light incident surface 137, so that the light L can be guided out uniformly.
Please refer to fig. 7, which is a schematic diagram illustrating a second structure implementation manner of the light incident end of the first embodiment of the light emitting device of the present invention.
As shown in the drawings, in different embodiments, if the overall width of the light guide 13 is large (i.e. the length of the light incident end 133 in the long side direction is long) or other suitable configurations, the light incident end 133 includes at least two light incident units 135, and the at least two light incident units 135 are periodically arranged along the long side direction of the light incident end 33, and each light incident unit 135 includes the at least two light incident portions 136; similarly, the light incident portion 136 also includes a light incident surface 137. That is, at least two light incident portions 136 together form a light incident unit 135, and the light incident units 135 are periodically arranged along the longitudinal direction of the light incident end 133.
Please refer to fig. 8, which is a schematic diagram illustrating a third structural implementation of the light incident end of the first embodiment of the light emitting device according to the present invention.
As shown, the main difference in the present embodiment is that the light incident surface 136 can smoothly form a continuous curved surface. With this structure, the emitted light can be more uniform. Therefore, the light incident surfaces 136 can be configured in a smooth manner to form a continuous curved surface, so that the simulation of the simulated sunlight emitted by the light guide member 13 is better.
Please refer to fig. 9 and 10, which are related schematic diagrams of a light emitting device according to a second embodiment of the invention. In the present embodiment, the configuration or connection relationship of the elements not specifically mentioned is substantially similar to that described above, and the description thereof is omitted here for brevity.
As shown, the main difference in the present embodiment is that a second included angle θ 3 between the first imaginary straight line IL1 and the outer side surface of the second face 132 can be greater than or equal to 0.45 ° and less than or equal to 3.7 °. That is, the entirety of the light guide 13 may have an approximately trapezoidal structure. It should be noted that, in different embodiments, the first included angle θ 1 of the first surface 131 and the second included angle θ 3 of the second surface 132 may be adjusted to be the same or different according to practical applications. For example, when the wall between the two movable spaces has a through gap for disposing the light emitting device 1 of the present invention, the two movable spaces can both have two simulated oblique sunlight angles with the same angle by the first included angle θ 1 of the first surface 131 being equal to the second included angle θ 3 of the second surface 132; certainly, in different embodiments, the two movable spaces may have simulated sunlight oblique angles with different angles respectively by the first included angle θ 1 of the first surface 131 being not equal to the second included angle θ 3 of the second surface 132.
Please refer to fig. 11 to 14, which are a schematic diagram of a light guide structure and a schematic diagram of data analysis of a light emitting device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the configuration or connection relationship of the elements not specifically mentioned, such as the elements other than the light guide, is substantially similar to that described above, and the description thereof is omitted here for brevity.
In various embodiments, as shown in the figure, the light incident end 133 of the light guide 13 may have only one light incident surface 137, as shown in fig. 11. Similar to the aforementioned fig. 4 and its corresponding description, a second imaginary straight line IL2 may be formed in the direction from the first surface 131 to the second surface 132 or in the direction from the second surface 132 to the first surface 131, i.e., the second imaginary straight line IL2 is an imaginary line along the first direction X. Specifically, the incident surface 137 and the second imaginary straight line IL2 each have a specific incident light inclination angle θ 2.
When the light incident end 133 has only one light incident surface 137, if the light incident inclination angle θ 2 is too small (exemplified by 0 °), the amount of light leakage is low and the uniformity is low, as shown in fig. 13 (a) and 14, and if the light incident inclination angle θ 2 is too large (exemplified by 30 °), the amount of light leakage is high and the uniformity is high, as shown in fig. 13 (b) and 14. The light L leaves the light guide 13 in a large amount when approaching the light source module 12, which means that the light leakage is high, and the light leakage is low, which is shown in the dashed line in fig. 14. In addition, the uniformity is the uniformity of whether there is too bright or too dark light in the direction from the light source module 12 to the light source module 12, that is, the uniformity shown by the solid line portion in fig. 14.
In order to reduce the tendency of light distribution uniformity and light leakage, the incident light inclination angle θ 2 may be preferably greater than or equal to 11 ° and less than or equal to 25 °. Under the limitation of the above condition, the light uniformity can reach at least 60%, and the light leakage quantity can be lower than 15%. In a preferred embodiment, the incidence inclination angle θ 2 may be greater than or equal to 13 ° and less than or equal to 20 °. Under the limitation of the above conditions, the light uniformity can reach at least 70%, and the light leakage can be less than 10%. In fig. 12, the entrance tilt angle θ 2 is 15 ° as an exemplary embodiment, so as to show the advantage that the entrance tilt angle θ 2 is preferably too large or too small compared to the entrance tilt angle θ 2.
Fig. 15 to 17 are related schematic views and application schematic views of a fourth embodiment and a fifth embodiment of a light emitting device of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the configuration or connection relationship of the elements not specifically mentioned is substantially similar to that described above, and the description thereof is omitted here for brevity.
As shown in fig. 15, the main difference in the present embodiment is that the long side of the light incident end 133 is arc-shaped. That is, when the light guide 13 is viewed from the first direction X, the light incident end 133 is arc-shaped. In addition, the light source module 12 includes a plurality of light emitting units 121, and the plurality of light emitting units 121 are preferably arranged in an arc shape along the light incident end 133. Also, the light emitting surface 122 of each light emitting unit 121 may be preferably parallel to the light incident surface 137.
Through the above configuration in this embodiment, a user can selectively light the predetermined light emitting unit 121, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the oblique angle of the simulated sunlight. For example, when the light guide 13 is viewed from the first direction X, the user can selectively light the light emitting units 121 on the left side, thereby creating a simulation of sunlight shining from left to right. Conversely, the user can also selectively light the light emitting units 121 on the right side, thereby creating a simulation of sunlight shining from right to left.
In various embodiments, the user can illuminate a specific portion of the light emitting units 121 according to the current time or the time command through the control of the program. Therefore, the light emitting device 1 of the present invention can properly simulate the sunlight change of one day, even different sunlight changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
As shown in fig. 16, the main difference in the present embodiment is that the light source module 12 includes a plurality of light emitting units 121, and in addition, the light emitting device of the present invention further includes a plurality of rotating units 14. Each light emitting unit 121 is connected to each rotating unit 14, so that the rotating units 14 can drive the light emitting units 121 to rotate. In particular, the rotating unit 14 drives the light emitting unit 121 to rotate along the long side of the light incident end 133. That is, the rotation is performed with the direction perpendicular to the second direction Y and the third direction Z as the axis, for example, the rotation is performed with the first direction X shown in fig. 14 as the axis.
Incidentally, the rotating unit 14 can be a motor (not shown in the drawings for simplicity) connected to the light emitting units 121, so that the light emitting units 121 are driven to rotate by the motor. Alternatively, the rotation unit 14 may be, for example, a gear connected to the light emitting units 121 to rotate all the light emitting units 121 in unison by a pneumatic cylinder (not shown in the figure for simplicity) or a hydraulic cylinder (not shown in the figure for simplicity) engaged with a rack.
With the above-described configuration, as shown in fig. 17, the user can achieve a false feeling of making the sunlight shine from right to left or from left to right by selectively lighting predetermined light emitting units 121 or rotating the light emitting units 121 through the rotating unit 14. Of course, the user can rotate the light emitting unit 121 according to the current time or command through the control of the program. Therefore, the light emitting device 1 of the present invention can properly simulate the sunlight change of one day, even different sunlight changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
