Abstract

A columnar illumination component includes a columnar body and a light-emitting component. The columnar body has two first side portions, and two second side portions. Each of the first side portions is adjoined to the second side portions, each of the second side portions is adjoined to the first side portions, and an elongated channel is jointly defined by the first side portions and the second side portions. The light-emitting component is located inside the elongated channel, and includes two light guides and two light source modules where the light guides are respectively fixed on the first side portions. The light source modules are respectively fixed on the second side portions, and each of the light source modules emits lights towards one of the light guides, and outputs the lights outwardly through the light guide.

Claims (26)

1 . A columnar illumination component, comprising:

a columnar body, having two first side portions which are opposite to each other and two second side portions which are opposite to each other, each of the first side portions that is adjoined to the second side portions and each of the second side portions that is adjoined to the first side portions, and an elongated channel that is jointly defined by the first side portions and the second side portions, each of the first side portions that is formed with an opening; and

a light-emitting component, located inside the elongated channel and including two light guides and two light source modules, where the light guides are respectively fixed on the first side portions, the light source modules that are respectively fixed on the second side portions, and each of the light source modules is used to emit lights towards one of the light guides, and outputs the lights outwardly through the one of the light guides, each of the light guides including a light guide plate with a light-emitting front surface and a light-emitting rear surface opposite to each other, wherein the light-emitting front surface is located within the opening of one of the first side portions and exposed outwards from the opening.

2 . The columnar illumination component of claim 1 , wherein

each of the light guides further includes a light incident portion extending away from the light-emitting front surface and facing towards one of the light source modules, and a diverting portion connected to the columnar body, the light guide plate and the light incident portion.

3 . The columnar illumination component of claim 2 , wherein the light incident portion comprises a plurality of protruding ribs, and the protruding ribs are longitudinally arranged on the diverting portion along a long axis direction of the columnar body, and a gap is formed between any two adjacent ones of the protruding ribs.

4 . The columnar illumination component of claim 3 , wherein each of the light source modules comprises:

a wiring board, directly fixed to one of the second side portions, and a long axis direction of the wiring board that is parallel to the long axis direction of the columnar body; and

a plurality of colored light LEDs and a plurality of disinfection light LEDs, arranged alternately on the wiring board,

wherein the colored light LEDs and the disinfection light LEDs are respectively aligned with the protruding ribs to emit towards the protruding ribs, respectively.

5 . The columnar illumination component of claim 2 , wherein the diverting portion has a light guiding surface connecting to the light-emitting front surface and the light incident portion, wherein the light guiding surface is one of a planar surface and an arc surface.

6 . The columnar illumination component of claim 2 , wherein each of the light guides comprises a microstructure pattern, and the microstructure pattern comprises a plurality of V-shaped microstructures distributed on the light-emitting rear surface at intervals.

7 . A light-emitting headphone stand, comprising:

a base;

a suspension portion, configured for hanging a headphone thereon;

a columnar illumination component of claim 1 , configured for connecting to the base and the suspension portion, respectively; and

a control circuit module located within the base and electrically connected to the light source modules for controlling the light source modules to emit lights.

8 . A light-emitting headphone stand, comprising:

a base;

a suspension portion, configured for hanging a headphone thereon;

a support frame, connecting to the base and the suspension portion respectively, and having two external side surfaces opposite to each other which are formed with an opening thereon, and an elongated channel arranged between the external side surfaces;

two light guides, each of the light guides including a light-emitting front surface located within the opening of one of the external side surfaces and exposed outwards from the opening, a light incident portion extending away from the light-emitting front surface, and a light guiding surface connecting to the support frame, the light-emitting front surface and the light incident portion, wherein the light incident portion comprises a plurality of light incident surfaces which are longitudinally arranged, and a gap is formed between any two adjacent ones of the light incident surfaces;

two light bars respectively fixed in the elongated channel, each of the light bars comprises a plurality of colored light LEDs and a plurality of disinfection light LEDs which are respectively aligned with the light incident surfaces to emit towards the light incident surfaces, respectively; and

a control circuit module located within the base and electrically connected to the colored light LEDs and the disinfection light LEDs for controlling the colored light LEDs and the disinfection light LEDs to emit lights.

9 . The light-emitting headphone stand of claim 8 , wherein the light guiding surface is one of a planar surface and an arc surface.

10 . The light-emitting headphone stand of claim 8 , wherein each of the light guides comprises a light-emitting rear surface opposite to the light-emitting front surface, and a microstructure pattern having a plurality of V-shaped microstructures distributed on the light-emitting rear surface at intervals.
