Abstract

An energy-saving lighting device includes a lampshade body, a light-transmissive plate located on the bottom side of the lampshade body, a parabolic reflector and a nonlinear reflector having a light distribution curve mounted in the lampshade body, a light emitting device mounted in the lampshade body, and a cone reflector disposed in the lampshade body right below the light emitting device. When the light emitting device is electrically connected to emit light, light rays are evenly distributed in the illumination area without causing Gaussian distribution, thereby saving the energy and avoiding dazzling.

Claims

1. An energy-saving lighting device, comprising:

a lampshade body, said lampshade body having installed therein a lamp holder electrically connected to power supply means;

a light emitting device installed in said lamp holder for emitting light;

a parabolic reflector adapted for converting a part of light rays emitted by said light emitting device into downwardly extending parallel light rays, said parabolic reflector having a through hole on a top side thereof for the passing of said light emitting device;

a light transmissive plate mounted in an illumination side of said lampshade body;

a cone reflector fixedly mounted on an inner side of said light-transmissive plate, said reflector cone having a vertex aimed at the center of said light emitting device and adapted for converting said downwardly extending parallel light rays into horizontally extending light rays; and

a nonlinear reflector fixedly mounted in said lampshade body and abutted against said parabolic reflector, said nonlinear reflector comprising a plurality of facets connected to one another at an inner side thereof and constituting a light distribution curve, the size and angle of each said facet being calculated subject to the principle of optical reflection and expected contained angle between the incident light of said horizontally extending parallel light rays and the light reflected by the respective facet toward a predetermined illumination block;

wherein the light emitted by said light emitting device partially directly projects onto said predetermined illumination block and partially reflected or refracted by said parabolic reflector, said cone reflector and said nonlinear reflector onto said predetermined illumination block;

divide the predetermined illumination block to be illuminated equally into multiple sub blocks, and calculate the luminous flux of every said sub block of the direct light emitted by said light emitting device onto the respective sub block and the light emitted by said light emitting device and primarily refracted by said cone reflector onto the respective sub block;

the light rays emitted by said light emitting devices and secondarily refracted by said parabolic reflector and said cone reflector toward the facets of said nonlinear reflector are reflected by the facets of said nonlinear reflector onto predetermined sub blocks of said predetermined illumination block to make even the luminous flux of every said sub block, achieving even distribution of light in said predetermined illumination block.

2. The energy-saving lighting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said predetermined illumination block is a circular light-receiving surface.

3. The energy-saving lighting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said predetermined illumination block is a rectangular light-receiving surface.

4. The energy-saving lighting device as claimed in claim 3, wherein said light emitting device is beyond the range of said rectangular light-receiving surface;

the facets of said linear reflector refract incident light toward one same side;

an extension plate is attached to an opposite side of said linear reflector to let light be projected toward one same side.

5. The energy-saving lighting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said predetermined illumination block is an eccentric rectangular light-receiving surface.

6. The energy-saving lighting device as claimed in claim 5, wherein said light emitting device has an angle of elevation so that said predetermined illumination block is converted into a trapezoidal light-receiving surface.

7. The energy-saving lighting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said light emitting device is arranged in a corner area relative to said predetermined illumination block in an eccentric manner in horizontal direction as well as vertical direction.

8. The energy-saving lighting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said nonlinear reflector has a rectangular shape.

9. The energy-saving lighting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said nonlinear reflector has a polygonal shape.

10. The energy-saving lighting device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said nonlinear reflector has an elliptical shape.
