Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a light distribution element and a lamp, the light distribution element is configured to distribute light for a light source, and the light distribution element includes at least two first light distribution modules arranged along a height direction of the light distribution element, the at least two first light distribution modules surround the light source in a circumferential direction, each of the at least two first light distribution modules includes a light incident surface and a light output surface that are away from each other, and the light incident surface is arranged opposite to the light source, each of the at least two first light distribution modules has a divergent light configuration from the light incident surface to the light output surface; and a depression region is between two adjacent first light distribution modules.

Claims (27)

1. A light distribution element, configured to distribute light for a light source, wherein the light distribution element comprises:

at least two first light distribution modules arranged along a height direction of the light distribution element, the at least two first light distribution modules surround the light source in a circumferential direction, each of the at least two first light distribution modules comprises a plurality of light distribution units arranged around the light source in the circumferential direction, and each of the plurality of light distribution units comprises a light incident surface unit and a light output surface unit that are away from each other, wherein a plurality of light output surface units are directly connected to each other along the circumferential direction so that the light output surface units are free of space and a plurality of light incident surface units are connected to each other along the circumferential direction to form a light incident surface; and

the light incident surface is arranged opposite to the light source, each of the at least two first light distribution modules has a divergent light configuration from the light incident surface to the light output surface; and

a depression region is between two adjacent first light distribution modules;

wherein each of the at least two first light distribution modules is configured to make an output maximum angle difference of an output light greater than an incident maximum angle difference of an incident light, so that the output light is emitted on a surface of the light distribution element to eliminate dark regions on the surface of the light distribution element, and a part of the output light is projected onto the depression region.

2. The light distribution element according to claim 1 , wherein the depression region is configured to scatter light emitted by the light source.

3. The light distribution element according to claim 2 , wherein:

in the height direction of the light distribution element, two adjacent light distribution units are connected to each other, and a depression portion is formed between the two adjacent light distribution units; and

in the circumferential direction of the light distribution element, the depression portion is configured to be multiple, and the depression portions constitute the depression region.

4. A lamp, comprising a light source assembly and a light distribution element that is configured to distribute light for a light source, wherein:

the light distribution element comprises at least two first light distribution modules arranged along a height direction of the light distribution element, the at least two first light distribution modules surround the light source in a circumferential direction, each of the at least two first light distribution modules comprises a plurality of light distribution units arranged around the light source in the circumferential direction, and each of the plurality of light distribution units comprises a light incident surface unit and a light output surface unit that are away from each other, wherein a plurality of light output surface units are directly connected to each other along the circumferential direction so that the light output surface units are free of space and a plurality of light incident surface units are connected to each other along the circumferential direction to form a light incident surface, and the light incident surface is arranged opposite to the light source, each of the at least two first light distribution modules has a divergent light configuration from the light incident surface to the light output surface; and a depression region is between two adjacent first light distribution modules; and

the light source assembly comprises at least two first light source modules that are arranged along a height direction of the lamp, and the light distribution element comprises at least two first light distribution modules that are arranged along the height direction of the lamp, wherein one of the at least two first light distribution modules covers one of the at least two first light source modules, and the one of the at least two first light distribution modules covers the one of the at least two first light source modules along the circumference direction of the lamp;

wherein each of the at least two first light distribution modules is configured to make an output maximum angle difference of an output light greater than an incident maximum angle difference of an incident light, so that the output light is emitted on a surface of the light distribution element to eliminate dark regions on the surface of the light distribution element, and a part of the output light is projected onto the depression region.

5. The lamp according to claim 4 , wherein:

each of the at least two first light source modules comprises a plurality of light emission bodies that are arranged along a circumference direction of the corresponding first light source module, and

light distribution units of the at least two first light distribution modules cover the light emission bodies that are disposed on the corresponding first light source module.

6. The lamp according to claim 4 , wherein:

the lamp further comprises a lamp holder, and the light distribution element comprises a receiving cavity and an opening, wherein the opening communicates with the receiving cavity, and the light distribution element is provided with a matching portion on a side of the opening, and the light distribution element is detachably connected to the lamp holder through the matching portion, and the light source assembly is disposed in the receiving cavity.

7. The lamp according to claim 6 , wherein:

the lamp further comprises an installation base disposed in the receiving cavity, and the at least two first light source modules are disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the installation base and are arranged along a height direction of the installation base, and the at least two first light distribution modules are arranged along the height direction of the installation base.

8. The lamp according to claim 7 , wherein:

the light source assembly further comprises a second light source module, and the lamp holder is disposed on a side of a first end of the installation base, the second light source module is located in the receiving cavity and is disposed at a second end of the installation base; and

the light distribution element comprises a second light distribution module, and the second light distribution module covers the second light source module.

9. The lamp according to claim 7 , wherein:

the lamp further comprises a driving assembly, and the driving assembly is disposed on the installation base or the lamp holder, and the light source assembly is electrically connected with the driving assembly.

10. The lamp according to claim 9 , wherein:

the installation base comprises an inner cavity, wherein the inner cavity communicates with outside at the first end of the installation base, and the driving assembly comprises an electronic control board and an electronic connection portion, and at least a part of the electronic control board is disposed in the inner cavity, the light source assembly is electrically connected to the electronic control board, and the electronic connection portion is disposed on the lamp holder and electrically connected to the electronic control board.
