下面結合結構及光傳導路經對本發明的目的具體闡釋。 The purpose of the present invention will be specifically explained below in connection with the structure and the optical conduction path.

在第一導光通路121範圍內,自第一受光面111接收的光在第一導光通路121內傳導間,因第一受光面111優選為水平面,前端面14通常為豎直面,而第一路內反射面1210與前端面14呈一定角度,第一路間反射面1201在第一導光通路121的盡頭處,故光在第一路內反射面1210和第一路間反射面1201內發生反射。第一導光通路121前方為前端面14,後方為第一路內反射面1210,前端面14與第一路內反射面1210間呈銳角,第一導光通路121為楔形塊狀體,沿光線傳播方向逐漸收斂。 In the range of the first light guiding path 121, the light received from the first light receiving surface 111 is conducted between the first light guiding paths 121, because the first light receiving surface 111 is preferably a horizontal plane, and the front end surface 14 is generally a vertical surface, and the first surface The inner reflective surface 1210 and the front end surface 14 are at an angle, and the first inter-reflecting surface 1201 is at the end of the first light guiding path 121, so the light is in the first inner reflecting surface 1210 and the first inter-reflecting surface 1201. Reflection occurs inside. The front surface of the first light guiding passage 121 is a front end surface 14 , the rear side is a first inner reflecting surface 1210 , the front end surface 14 and the first inner reflecting surface 1210 are at an acute angle, and the first light guiding passage 121 is a wedge-shaped block body. The direction of light propagation gradually converges.

在第二導光通路122範圍內,第一路間反射面1201、上頂面1221、第二路內反射面1220、第二路間反射面1202均可適應性設計成不同的形狀,相互鄰接的兩個平面間通常設有稜連 接在一起,在第二導光通路122的光除照射到出光面13的光線外,有光線在第二路間反射面1202發生反射傳導至第三導光通路123內。第二導光通路122前方為前端面14,後方為傾斜的第二路內反射面1220,上方為上頂面1221,該上頂面1221一側為第一路間反射面1201,另一側為第二路間反射面1202,上頂面1221和第二路內反射面1220相交形成一條稜,該稜靠近第二路間反射面1202的一側與前端面14的間距小於該稜靠近第一路間反射面1201一側與前端面14的間距,第二導光通路122為不規則多面體,光從第一路間反射面1201向第二路間反射面1202傳播,沿光線傳播方向第二導光通路122逐漸收斂。 In the range of the second light guiding path 122, the first inter-channel reflecting surface 1201, the upper inter-surface 1221, the second in-path reflecting surface 1220, and the second inter-channel reflecting surface 1202 can be adaptively designed into different shapes and adjacent to each other. The two planes usually have a ridge In addition, in addition to the light that is incident on the light-emitting surface 13 , the light in the second light guiding path 122 is reflected and transmitted to the third light guiding path 123 in the second inter-reflecting surface 1202 . The front surface of the second light guiding path 122 is a front end surface 14 , the rear side is an inclined second inner surface reflecting surface 1220 , and the upper side is an upper top surface 1221 . The upper top surface 1221 side is a first inter-channel reflecting surface 1201 , and the other side For the second inter-channel reflecting surface 1202, the upper top surface 1221 and the second inner reflecting surface 1220 intersect to form an edge, and the distance between the side of the edge adjacent to the second inter-reflecting surface 1202 and the front end surface 14 is smaller than the edge. The distance between the one side of the reflective surface 1201 and the front end surface 14 is that the second light guiding path 122 is an irregular polyhedron, and the light propagates from the first inter-channel reflecting surface 1201 to the second inter-channel reflecting surface 1202, along the direction of the light propagation. The two light guiding paths 122 gradually converge.

在第三導光通路123範圍內,因第三路內反射面1230與前端面13呈一定角度,且在光傳導方向厚度逐漸降低,故,第二路間反射面1202反射的光除直接反射到出光面13外大部分經第三路內反射面1230反射到出光面13,僅有少數反射到第三導光通路123盡頭的光線發生損失。 In the range of the third light guiding path 123, since the third inner reflecting surface 1230 and the front end surface 13 are at an angle, and the thickness is gradually decreased in the light conducting direction, the light reflected by the second inter-reflecting surface 1202 is directly reflected. Most of the light exiting surface 13 is reflected by the third inner reflecting surface 1230 to the light emitting surface 13, and only a small amount of light reflected to the end of the third light guiding path 123 is lost.

在第四導光通路124範圍內,楔形的下導光部103在第二受光面112接受光,然後在第四導光通路124內傳導。光除照射到楔形尖角處損失的以外,大部分反射或直射到出光面13。 In the range of the fourth light guiding path 124, the wedge-shaped lower light guiding portion 103 receives light on the second light receiving surface 112 and then conducts in the fourth light guiding path 124. The light is mostly reflected or directed to the light exit surface 13 except for the loss at the sharp corners of the wedge.

第一、第二、第三和第四導光通路121、122、123、124順次相連,該第一導光通路121下方為平坦狀第一受光面111,該第四導光通路124左側為第二受光面112,該第二受光面112為內凹弧形面,第一、第二受光面111、112分別位於導光元 件1的左右兩側且均位於導光元件1的下部。 The first, second, third, and fourth light guiding paths 121, 122, 123, and 124 are sequentially connected. The first light guiding path 121 is a flat first light receiving surface 111, and the left side of the fourth light guiding path 124 is The second light receiving surface 112 is a concave curved surface, and the first and second light receiving surfaces 111 and 112 are respectively located at the light guiding unit. The left and right sides of the member 1 are located at the lower portion of the light guiding element 1.

因此,本發明提供的結構將光傳導路經進行優化,該導光元件1的導光通路的長度不小於出光面13的長度,上導光部103的深度沿遠離第一受光面111方向逐漸減小且下導光部104的深度沿遠離第二受光面112方向逐漸減小,導光通路逐漸減小的週邊輪廓形成光在傳播中的反射面,將光通過反射的方式折回導光通路中,減少光的損失,提高光的利用率。本發明亦可如此理解,該導光元件1的導光通路沿光線傳播呈收斂狀將越界的光通過反射的方式折回導光通路中,減少光的損失,提高光的利用率。總之,本發明提高了光的傳播過程中出光面13照射出的比率,提高了光的利用率,在不降低發光亮度的條件下可減少照明用的發光元件2的數量,優選的,出光面13還塗敷有散射性材料或雕刻有散射花紋以提高出光面13向各個方向的散射,達成一種柔和的發光效果。 Therefore, the structure provided by the present invention optimizes the optical conduction path. The length of the light guiding path of the light guiding element 1 is not less than the length of the light emitting surface 13, and the depth of the upper light guiding portion 103 gradually decreases away from the first light receiving surface 111. The depth of the lower light guiding portion 104 is gradually decreased along the direction away from the second light receiving surface 112, and the peripheral contour of the light guiding path is gradually reduced to form a reflecting surface of the light in the propagation, and the light is returned to the light guiding path by reflection. In the middle, reduce the loss of light and improve the utilization of light. The present invention can also be understood that the light guiding path of the light guiding element 1 is converged along the light propagation, and the light that is out of bounds is folded back into the light guiding path by reflection, thereby reducing light loss and improving light utilization efficiency. In summary, the present invention improves the ratio of the light-emitting surface 13 emitted during the propagation of light, improves the utilization of light, and reduces the number of light-emitting elements 2 for illumination without degrading the light-emitting brightness. Preferably, the light-emitting surface 13 is also coated with a scattering material or engraved with a scattering pattern to enhance scattering of the light-emitting surface 13 in various directions to achieve a soft lighting effect.
