Problems solved by technology

However, the current market generally uses circular light spots. When the illuminated surface is in the shape of a circular light spot, there will inevitably be dark areas and blind spots at the junction of adjacent lamps, which will make the illuminance of the illuminated surface uneven.
At present, the design method for generating square-shaped light spots has formed a variety of solutions, such as: 1) The peanut structure of the street lamp lens is regulated by the free-form surface to produce square-shaped light spots, but the divergence angle is too large, and the uniformity is mainly determined by a single lens. The light source module determines that the light source array has weak control over the uniformity; 2) Through the imaging principle of the square light source, the secondary optical elements such as the Fresnel lens and the plano-convex lens are used to form a collimated and uniform square spot, but the overall energy utilization of the light source The rate is less than 50%, because it cannot use the light emitted by the high angle of the light source; 3) The compound parabolic reflector can realize the square spot in the near field, but its divergence angle is too large, and it cannot be used for the small angle part of the LED light source. control

Embodiment 1

[0047] The light source used in this embodiment is an LED light source with a size of 1mm*1mm; its specific design method is as follows:

[0048] First, design the double free-form surface collimator lens, mainly including, 1) complete the derivation of the iterative relationship between the discrete point coordinates of the double free-form curve; 2) calculate the trajectory discrete coordinates of the free-form curve through Matlab computing software; 3) import the trajectory discrete coordinates into TracePro optics The simulation software establishes the solid lens model;

[0049] Among them, the iterative relationship of discrete points on double free curves is derived based on the theory of non-imaging optics, using the principle of energy conservation and Fresnel's law. In order to obtain the iterative relationship, a rectangular coordinate system is established, and any two adjacent two points are defined as A n 、A n+1 、B n 、B n+1 , whose coordinates are (xa n ,ya...

Abstract

The invention discloses a LED lens array design method for forming uniform square light spots. The design method comprises the steps that firstly, double-free curved surface collimating lenses are designed; then single-free curved surface lenses are designed between the double-free curved surface collimating lenses and LED light sources; and finally, LED lenses and the LED light sources are combined into unit modules, and the array design is carried out on the unit modules according to a certain coordinate and a rotating angle. According to the LED lens array design method for forming the uniform square light spots, each unit module is composed of one single-free curved surface lens and one double-free curved surface collimating lens, a plurality of refraction optical paths are adopted, the light is controllable, the light condensation effect is good, furthermore, square light spots with uniform illumination are formed on the illumination surfaces after the light sources pass through the lenses, the boundaries of the light spots are clearly visible, the divergence angle is small, and the defect that high angle parts of the light sources cannot be utilized by adopting independentlya Fresnel lens, a plano-convex lens or the like is overcome; and light spot uniformity is easy to control and superior to 95%, and furthermore, the overall LED energy utilization rate can reach 78%, so that the effect of saving light energy is achieved, the energy utilization rate is higher, the utilization rate of light can be effectively improved, and the purpose of saving energy is achieved.
