Description
The present invention relates to an optical fiber illumination light generating device. More specifically, by installing an illumination lamp inside a rotary drum and disposing an optical fiber outside the rotary drum, it is possible to reduce the length of the optical fiber extending to each of the landscape lighting panels, thereby reducing the material cost, The bending of the optical fiber can be minimized during the elongation process, the loss of the illumination light due to the optical fiber bending can be minimized, the installation work of the optical fiber is easy, and the replacement and repair work of the optical fiber is easy, The optical fiber can be disposed at a precise position by providing the support guide module so as to guide and fix the position of the optical fiber, thereby improving the illumination efficiency. Even if the length of the optical fiber is formed differently from the length required for installation problems or cutting problems The relative position of the optical fiber It can be installed as relates to fiber optic illumination generator installation work easy.
The optical fiber is an optical fiber in which a high refractive index glass is used in the central portion and a low refractive index glass is used in the outer portion, so that light passing through the center glass is totally reflected.
Total reflection refers to a phenomenon in which light incident on a small medium at an incident angle larger than a specific critical angle when the light propagates from an optically dense medium to a small medium is not refracted but is 100% reflected. To reduce the loss rate.
Such an optical fiber is made of synthetic resin, but it is made mainly of glass with good transparency. The structure usually has a double cylindrical shape in which a portion called a core is surrounded by a portion called a cladding.
In order to protect the outside from impact, the synthetic resin coating is applied once or twice. The total size of the core portion excluding the protective coating is from 100 to 100 탆 in diameter (1 탆 is 1/1000 mm), and the refractive index of the core portion is higher than the refractive index of the cladding, so that light can be focused on the core portion, .
Optical fibers having such a structure are widely used in electric, electronic, communication, medical, and optical fields due to their many advantages. In recent years, optical fibers capable of conducting light from one end to the other end in the longitudinal direction The use range of various decoration and illumination has been expanded.
Generally, fiber optic lighting devices are widely used for landscape lighting, decorative lighting, swimming pool lighting, and exhibition lighting. The optical fiber illumination device transmits light generated from one light source device generating light to an inlet and transmits light to the different optical fibers. The transmitted light is suitable for the purpose of use of the optical fiber, irradiation characteristics, length, etc. It is used as illumination. Such a fiber optic lighting device can be easily used for underwater lighting because it does not only transmit light except heat from a light source device but also has no danger of electric shock, and is widely used in places where normal lighting equipment can not be applied because of its high humidity. Used in difficult places.
In recent years, the use of such optical fibers has been widely used as landscape lighting. And so on are not only functions of illumination that illuminates the darkness, but also functions as a landscape lighting combined with landscaping and architecture to produce beauty, and additionally can maximize functions of lighting such as ease of maintenance and efficiency of light source Widely used.
