Though the base part 30 of present embodiment is the plectane form with central opening 34, however those skilled in the art can understand, might not be like this.For example, it is circular that plate needs not be, and opening needs not be and is positioned at central authorities.In addition, base part 30 does not need to be the form of board member, and it can adopt the frame form of any desired shape.In certain embodiments, peripheral part 35 of base part does not need to surround fully above-mentioned opening.
The reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 of a series of different sizes and shape can be provided ", each reflector sections any one position in some discrete locations is installed on the base part 30 separately.This makes main reflector assembly 26 can be assembled into multiple structure, to produce different light distribution patterns or geometric figure.In addition,, reflector sections do not move because not being constrained to around fixing axle point, thus can reflector sections be positioned, to guarantee that described reflector assembly is optimally focused on respect to light source for each light distribution patterns.
Fig. 8 and 10 illustrates two kinds of main reflector 26 and may construct.Structure among Fig. 8 has produced the light that is similar to shown in Figure 9, broad radiation forward and has distributed, and this light distributes and is used for for example using on the wide road.On the contrary, structure shown in Figure 10 produce be similar to shown in Figure 11, more elongate and narrow light distributes, this light distributes and is suitable for the illumination of the standard of for example crossing over or limited road.
Specifically, can see the reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 among the current embodiment from Fig. 8 and 10 " belong to two kinds of main types.Side reflector 32, the 32 ' periphery of roughly aiming at around opening 34 with central axial line AB.Side reflector 32,32 ' has reflecting surface 36, and reflecting surface 36 is recessed effectively, and at central axial line by A general curved on the direction of B.End reflector part 32 " along the distance lamp adjust aperture 38 roughly opposed edges around the periphery of opening 34., end reflector 32 opposite with side reflector 32,32 ' " reflecting surface not along its main shaft bending.
Fig. 5 and 6 shows in detail typical side reflector part 32.Side reflector part 32 comprises basal component or the footing 42 and the reflector member 44 that is installed on the footing 42 of separation, and wherein, reflector member 44 has reflecting surface 36.
Reflector member 44 can be made by any suitable material, and as metal or plastics, and reflector member 44 has can be by press polished reflecting surface 36.Reflector member 44 comprise a plurality of incorporate, be the polygonal zone on plane or facet 46 substantially, described a plurality of zone or facet 46 are arranged to lattice structure, form with the piecewise to have recessed inner surface 36 and protruding structure outer surface, general curved.Described regional 46 form by the material along first fold line 48 and second fold line, 50 fold reflectors, wherein the bearing of trend of first fold line 48 is roughly parallel to the surface of base part 30, and the bearing of trend of second fold line 50 is approximately perpendicular to the surface of base part 30.Each polygonal region 46 be the plane substantially, thereby and each zone combination constituted effective bending, have a faceted reflecting surface 36.
In the reflector sections shown in Fig. 5 and 6 32, polygonal region 46 is tetragonal, and the wide of lattice structure be 5 zones 46, and height is 3 zones 46.
Yet side reflector part 32,32 ' can be made with the zone 46 of any requirement.For example, side reflector part 32 ' can be narrower, and it is wide only to be 3 zones 46.
Reflector footing 42 also can be made by any suitable material, but preferably is made of plastics.This footing is dull and stereotyped form substantially, and it has the leading edge 51 according to the curvature bending of reflector member 44.This footing has a plurality of fixing holes 52, and by described a plurality of fixing holes 52, this footing can be fixed to base part 30.Described fixing hole can be any suitable composition form, and in the present embodiment, described fixing hole is arranged to two rows, and this two row assembles away from described leading edge.
Footing 42 has first group four mounting lugs 54 to upper process in edge, front 51 position adjacent.Second group five mounting lugs 56 to upper process separate backward from first group of mounting lug 54.Utilizing snug fit (snug fit) or interference fit (interference snug) to make an edge of reflector member 44 be contained in wherein gap is between first group and the second group of mounting lug.The lug 54 of lug 56 in second group from first group departs from, and supported by support member 58.Lug 56 in lug 54 to the second groups in first group is little, and has tapering, so as to reduce as much as possible and the reflecting surface 36 of reflector member 44 between any interference.
Lug 56 or 51 can have kick, and described kick fastens (snap fit) to by in the holes that cooperation forms in the reflector region down 46, assembles to produce to lock when the assembling.Thereby reflector member 44 is fixedly secured to footing 42 and between two groups of mounting lugs 54,56, to form compound side reflector part or section 32,32 '.Then, by with at least two (preferably at least four) fixing holes 52 in the footing 42 be arranged on base part 30 interior, aim at corresponding to each fixing hole 60 of desired locations, each side reflector part 32,32 ' can be installed to the base part 30 of main reflector.Then, by using any suitable fixture, as the fixture or the analog of rivet, thread tapping, described footing can be fixed to described base part.In order to reduce the risk that reflecting surface 36 is damaged or pollutes at assembly process, alternatively, can earlier footing 42 be installed to base part 30, then reflector member 44 is assembled on the footing 42.
Although base part 30 is provided with a plurality of installing holes 60, described a plurality of installing holes 60 are intended to make reflector sections can be installed in position corresponding to some pre-determined configurations,, if necessary, can make extra hole 60.
Although aforesaid side reflector 32,32 ' has the reflector member 44 and the footing 42 of separation, should understand, if necessary, side reflector 32,32 ' can manufacture the single parts that have incorporate reflector member and footing.
From Fig. 4, can observe end reflector 32 better " structure.Each end reflector 32 " comprise at the bottom of the incorporate reflector substrate or footing 62 and reflector member 64 with reflecting surface 36.Reflector member 64 has first, second and the third-largest rectangular area or the facet 66,68,70 that causes to the plane, described first, second forms by the material along three fold line 72,74,76 fold reflectors with the 3rd zone or facet 66,68,70, wherein, the bearing of trend of three fold lines 72,74,76 is roughly parallel to each other and be parallel to the surface of base part 30.
First fold line 72 is arranged between the footing 62 and first rectangular area 66, extends thereby make first rectangular area 66 be approximately perpendicular to reflector footing 62, has formed the cross section that is roughly ' L ' shape.Second fold line 74 extends between first and second zones 66,68, and second area recedes slightly towards the rear portion of footing 62.The 3rd fold line 76 extends between the second and the 3rd zone 68,70, thereby makes the 3rd zone 70 towards top rake, so that in end reflector part 32 " be positioned in the appropriate location on the basal component, light is reflected by the opening 34 in the basal component 30.
Each all has the reflecting surface that the base part of facing is left zone 66,68,70, and these reflecting surfaces are in conjunction with to form end reflector part 32 " reflecting surface 36.
End reflector footing 62 is roughly the plane, draws so that be arranged on the table of base part 30.Footing 62 also has a plurality of fixing holes 52, so that end reflector can be connected to base part 30 to catch up with to state about side reflector 32,32 ' the similar mode of connected mode.
Should understand end reflector part 32 " do not need to have incorporate footing, and can have catch up with state side reflector 32,32 ' footing 42 similarly, the foot member of separating.
Although only described reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 " three kinds of structures, yet should understand, many other structures also are possible.For example, side reflector 32,32 ' lattice structure can comprise the polygonal region of any right quantity, and these polygonal regions can be any suitable shapes.The reflector of described any reflector sections and reflector footing can be one, perhaps, also can install respectively.Similarly, any suitable fixing hole arrangement all can be used.
As shown in Figure 7, remove beyond the reflector installing hole 60, base part 30 has and is used for reflector assembly is installed to a plurality of underframe installing holes 78 and lamp installing hole 80 optional, that be used to install lamp 22 on the underframe 12.
Reflector installing hole 60 has suitable size and layout, to allow each reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 " be mounted respectively on base part a plurality of laterally, vertically and/or the optional position in the discrete position of rotation.The reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 that described discrete position makes installation " be tending towards emission is passed through central opening 34 from the light reflection of lamp, to form the lighting pattern of expecting.Therefore, formed lighting pattern had both depended on reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 " discrete location at place is installed, also depend on each reflector sections size and dimension separately.
Fixing hole 52 in reflector installing hole 60 and/or the reflector sections footing can be expediently by color coding or be labeled, to assist with reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 " be mounted to default structure, these default structures are suitable for the illumination geometric figure that provides predetermined.
A plurality of reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 of identical or different type " chosen, so that construct main reflector assembly 26 for the lighting pattern that expectation is provided.Then, reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 " be installed on the base part, the discrete location arrangement that it presented is suitable for providing the lighting pattern of expectation.If need to change the light distribution patterns subsequently, then can reflector sections be taken off from base part 30, and re-construct main reflector assembly 26 as required by any proper device.
First structure of main reflector assembly 26 has been shown in plan view Fig. 8, wherein, top reflector 28 has not been shown.This structure comprises 10 reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 ", described 10 reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 " arrange symmetrically about central axial line AB around the periphery of base port.
Two end reflector 32 " adjacent one another are, adjust each side that aperture 38 is arranged on central axial line AB relatively, symmetrically with lamp.Two end reflector 32 " be arranged to reflector surface central axial line roughly on the direction from B to A towards the aperture 38.Therefore, in operating process, end reflector 32 " both will reflex on the side reflector 32,32 ' from the light of lamp 22, also with its reflection by opening 34.
The side reflector 32 of four broads and two narrower side reflectors 30 ' arrange symmetrically about central axial line AB, have formed around the periphery of opening 34 and have been roughly semielliptical circular arc, and it is centered close to lamp and adjusts on the aperture 38.Two narrower side reflectors 32 ' are arranged on circular arc and adjust place, end farthest, aperture 38 apart from lamp.Reflector surface at the center of arc place is arranged on the roughly direction from A to B approximately at 45 towards central axial line AB.Therefore, in operating process, this circular arc in wide relatively angle upper edge away from the most of light of the roughly direction reflection of adjusting aperture 38 from lamp 22.Maximum part in the reverberation is being reflected with the about angle at 45 of central axial line AB.
The side reflector 32 of two other broad is set at arc end part and end reflector 32 " between.These side reflectors are provided with inwardly with respect to other reflector sections.Therefore, in operating process, described two other side reflector 32 is being adjusted on the roughly direction in aperture 38 at wide angle (~60 ° to~70 °) the antireflection part light with respect to central axial line, just, and at central axial line roughly on the direction from B to A.
Fig. 9 shows by the light pattern roughly that reflector configuration produced shown in Fig. 8.Light from lamp is reflected symmetrically about central axial line AB.The circular arc reflection that the major part of these light is roughly constituted by side reflector on wide angle along direction from A to B, but major part is to be reflected with central axial line AB angle at 45, to produce main elongated areas general as seen at 84.Similarly, two other side reflectors reflect most of light along the roughly directions from B to A at the wide angle (~60 ° to~70 °) with respect to central axial line, to produce generally as the less important elongated area seen at 86.
Be applied in especially by first lighting pattern that provide of structure and be used for the street lamp that thrown light in broad road and zone, pavement (pavement).Luminaire is assembled into and makes main elongated area 84 illuminate road, and the pavement is illuminated in less important elongated area 86.
In plan view Figure 10, can most clearly see second structure of main reflector assembly 28.This structure comprises 9 reflector sections 32,32 ", described 9 reflector sections 32,32 " about central axial line AB symmetrically, around the periphery of base port.
Single end reflector sections 32 " be arranged on symmetrically on the central axial line AB, it is relative to adjust aperture 38 with lamp.End reflector part 32 " be arranged to its reflector surface on the direction of central axial line from B to A towards the lamp mounting portion.Therefore, in operating process, end reflector 32 " both will reflex to from the light of lamp 22 on the side reflector 32, also its reflection is passed through the central opening 34 in the base part.
The side reflector 32 of 8 broads is arranged such that reflector surface has formed two shallow circular arcs, and each shallow circular arc is made of 4 side reflectors 32.As can see from Figure 10, these circular arcs are arranged on each side of central axial line AB symmetrically.Therefore, can see from Figure 11 that in operating process, second constructs the axial patterns that light is reflected into elongation, this pattern is fit to be thrown light in the road surface of traditional width.
Although two kinds of structures that illustrate all provide the light pattern about central axial line AB symmetry, yet, might not need like this, and, reflector sections 32,32 ', 32 " can be arranged to provide asymmetrical smooth geometric figure.For example, when lamp was set at position near wall, perhaps, for fear of light pollution in one direction, this will be useful.
The independent ability that some heteroid reflector sections are installed provides a kind of like this reflector assembly 26 on basal component, and it can be used to produce multiple illumination geometric figure, guarantees that simultaneously each reflector sections keeps correctly focusing on to lamp.This provides very flexible and effective reflector structure, and this structure can easily be transformed to satisfy different lighting requirements.
Although described the present invention with preferred embodiment about being considered to most realistic now, but, should understand, the present invention is not limited in these disclosed devices, and is intended to cover multiple modification and the equivalent construction that is included in marrow of the present invention and the scope.For example, although preferably, all reflector sections that constitute this reflector assembly can be installed to base part in the optional position in a plurality of discrete locations, so that guarantee greatest possible flexibility, but, also allow in some application scenario the one or more unique prepositions of base part that are installed in these reflector sections, perhaps, even to form with this base part be the part of one.
