Abstract

An intelligent illuminating system for a vehicle lamp comprises a lens, a circuit board, a plurality of LED light sources on the circuit board distributed in an array, and a hollow reflector disposed between the LED light sources and the lens. The hollow reflector has reflection cavities disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the LED light sources. The reflection cavity has an incident opening, an emergent opening, and a reflection surface extending between the incident opening and the emergent opening. The LED light source is disposed at the incident opening. The emergent opening is located on a focal plane of the lens or has a defocusing amount from the focal plane of the lens.

Claims (14)

1. An intelligent illuminating system for a vehicle lamp, comprising:

a lens;

a circuit board ( 4 ),

a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) light sources ( 3 ) disposed on the circuit board ( 4 ) distributed in an array;

a hollow reflector ( 2 ) disposed between the plurality of LED light sources ( 3 ) and the lens ( 1 ), wherein the hollow reflector ( 2 ) is provided with a plurality of reflection cavities ( 20 ), each of the reflection cavities ( 20 ) is in one-to-one correspondence with each of the plurality of LED light sources ( 3 ), each of the reflection cavities ( 20 ) is provided with an incident opening ( 201 ), an emergent opening ( 202 ), and a reflection surface ( 203 ) extending between the incident opening ( 201 ) and the emergent opening ( 202 );

each one of the LED light sources ( 3 ) is disposed at its respective incident opening ( 201 ), and each one of the emergent openings ( 202 ) is located on a focal plane of the lens ( 1 ) or has a defocusing amount from the focal plane of the lens ( 1 ), and light emitted by each one of the LED light sources ( 3 ) is incident into the lens ( 1 ) after being reflected by the reflection surface ( 203 );

wherein each one of the reflection surfaces ( 203 ) has at least two side surfaces, both side surfaces being free-form curved surfaces, wherein one of the side surfaces is parabolic and the other is quasi-parabolic with an undulating strip pattern extending along the length of the respective reflection cavity ( 20 ).

2. The intelligent illuminating system for a vehicle lamp as in claim 1 , wherein an inner diameter of the emergent opening ( 202 ) is greater than an inner diameter of the incident opening ( 201 ).

3. The intelligent illuminating system for a vehicle lamp as in claim 1 , wherein the shapes of the incident opening ( 201 ) and the emergent opening ( 202 ) both are polygons.

4. The intelligent illuminating system for a vehicle lamp as in claim 1 , wherein all the LED light sources ( 3 ) are distributed in an array and form an LED light source array, the LED light source array is provided with a plurality of rows along a transversal direction and is provided with a plurality of columns along a longitudinal direction.

5. The intelligent illuminating system for a vehicle lamp as in claim 1 , wherein one or more lenses ( 1 ) are provided.

6. The intelligent illuminating system for a vehicle lamp as in claim 1 , wherein the lens ( 1 ) is a balsaming lens.

7. A vehicle lamp assembly, comprising the intelligent illuminating system for a vehicle lamp as in claim 1 .

8. A vehicle, comprising the vehicle lamp assembly as in claim 7 .
