IX. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an illumination system, and more particularly to an illumination system having uniform brightness. [Prior Art] With the development and advancement of science and technology, high-brightness LEDs (light-emitting diodes) have been widely used in various lighting systems. People use LEDs in directional lighting devices and design a variety of light convergence. Collection and reflection devices. However, ordinary LED convergence, collection, and reflection devices use spherical or aspherical reflectors for light reflection and collection. However, the light emitted by a spherical or aspheric reflector is not emitted. It is easy to control, and the manufacturing of the second reflector is difficult. In addition, the biggest disadvantage of using the reflector is that the brightness of the light is not uniform, and a good illumination effect cannot be achieved. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide an illumination system with uniform brightness. A lighting system includes an LED light source, the lighting system further including a solid light pipe. The light guide tube includes an incident surface, an exit surface, and a reflective surface between the incident surface and the exit surface, wherein the incident surface is smaller than the exit surface, and the LED light source is disposed on an incident surface side of the light guide tube. . Compared with the prior art, the light pipe used in the illumination system as its light reflecting and discarding element's light is reflected by the light in the light pipe after multiple reflections, so that it can obtain uniform illumination. In addition, the light guide tube is arranged such that the incident surface is smaller than the taper of the exit surface, and the angle of the light after the reflection surface is reversed by the reflection surface 200982221 can be corrected, thereby improving the utilization of the light and improving the brightness of the illumination system. [Embodiment] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 together, the illumination system 100 of the present invention includes an LED light source 110 and a light guide tube 120. The LED light source 110 provides light to the illumination system 100. The light pipe 120 is a solid tapered light pipe, and includes an incident surface 122, an exit surface 124, and a reflective surface 126 between the incident surface 122 and the exit surface 124. The light guide tube 120 is made of a light transmissive material such as glass or quartz. In this embodiment, the incident surface 122 of the light pipe 120 is a square, and the size of the incident surface 122 is Sin; the shape of the exit surface 124 of the light guide tube 120 is similar to the shape of the incident surface 122, and the exit surface is similar to the shape of the incident surface 122. The size of 124 is Sout; the incident surface 122 and the exit surface 124 are parallel to each other, and the vertical distance between the incident surface 122 and the exit surface 124 is Hr; the reflective surface 126 is formed on the incident surface 122 and the exit surface 124. Between the light pipe 120 and the optical axis 0 perpendicular to the incident surface 122, the reflecting surface 126 has an inclination angle of 4 with respect to the optical axis 0. The light guide tube 120 is a light-tight medium compared with the air, and the air is a light-dissipating medium. The light L emitted from the LED light source 110 is incident on the inside of the light guide tube 120 from the incident surface 122 of the light guide tube 120. The light from the optical axis 0 of the light pipe 120 is emitted from the exit surface 124 of the light guide tube 120, and the light L that is not parallel to the optical axis of the light guide tube 120 will be reflected by the light guide tube 120. On face 126. According to the law of light refraction, when light rays are emitted from the optically dense medium to the light-diffusing medium, if the incident angle of the light is greater than the angle of the light, the light will be totally reflected on the critical plane of the light-tight medium and the light-diffusing medium. The light L that is incident on the reflecting surface 126 of the light guiding tube 120 is subjected to multiple total reflections between the reflecting surfaces 126 of the light guiding tube 120 if the incident angle thereof is greater than the critical angle of the light guiding tube 120. The exit surface 124 emits 'to obtain a beam of uniform brightness. In order to make full use of the light L emitted by the LED light source 110, it is necessary to increase the incident angle of the light l, so that part of the light that cannot be totally reflected can satisfy the total reflection of the article, thereby improving the utilization of the light L. , increase the illumination brightness of the lighting system. In order to achieve the above effect, the light guide tube 120 can be designed as follows: the size Sin of the incident surface 122 of the light guide tube 120 is smaller than the size Scmt of the exit surface 124, that is, Sin<Sout; so that the incident surface 122 is located The angle between the reflecting surface 126 between the exit surface 124 and the optical axis of the light guide tube 120 is at a certain angle &; in order to enable the reflective surface 126 of the light guide tube 12 to reflect more light, The optimum range of the included angle is 5. <&< I5. φ In addition, the vertical distance Hr between the incident surface 122 and the exit surface 124 is greater than the size of the incident surface 122, i.e., Hr>sin. The LED light source 110 is disposed on one side of the incident surface 122 of the light pipe 120. When the light L is emitted from the exit surface 124 of the light guide tube 120 in the household system, the light L and the light guide The scattering angle between the optical axes of the tubes 120 is such that the scattering angle & range is between two and five times & The angle of inclination 7 of the reflecting surface 126 of the light guide 120 can be flexibly varied and selected according to the required scattering angle & When the incident surface 122 of the light guide tube 120 is in the shape of an unequal shape 8 200928221 such as a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle, or the like, or when the incident surface 122 is not parallel to the exit surface 124, The inclination angle between the reflecting surface 126 of the light guiding tube 120 and the optical axis of the light guiding tube 120 satisfies 5° <&< 15 °; the light pipe 120 of the illumination system 100 The scattering angle & between the light emitted from the exit surface 124 and the optical axis of the light guide tube 120 satisfies the <&<5&; The illumination system 100 uses the light-reflecting tube 120 as its light-reflecting and collecting component by using the total reflection law of light, and the light is reflected by the light-receiving tube 120 to emit a uniform beam, so that it can obtain uniform illumination. In addition, the light guide tube 120 further adopts a taper shape of the incident surface 122 smaller than the exit surface 124, so that the incident angle of the light beam L is increased with respect to the incident angle of the reflective surface 126 of the light guide tube 120, thereby improving the utilization of light. Increase the brightness of the lighting system. It can be understood that the exit surface 124 of the light pipe 120 can be set to any shape such as a square, a rectangle, a circle or an ellipse according to the needs of the user. The incident surface 122 and the exit surface 124 may also be set as curved surfaces.
