Abstract

The disclosure discloses a multi-source homework lamp comprising: a first lampshade and a second lampshade connected to a shaft, wherein the first lampshade and the second lampshade are rotatable around the shaft; main lights disposed inside each of the lampshades; and a control unit for controlling the luminance of the main lights and controlling the rotation of the first lampshade and the second lampshade, thereby controlling the angle between the two. In the multi-source homework lamp according to the disclosure, by a design of the two-piece main lights with the angle being variable, the illuminance is caused to be more uniform, and the illumination range and the illumination luminance of the homework lamp may be adjusted more conveniently.

Claims

1. A multi-source homework lamp, comprising:

a first lampshade and a second lampshade connected to a shaft, wherein the first lampshade and the second lampshade are rotatable around the shaft;

a main light disposed inside each of the first and second lampshades, each main light having an adjustable light intensity; and

a control unit for controlling at least one of the rotation of the first and second lampshades and the adjustable light intensity of the main lights.

2. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 1, further comprising a sidelight disposed on a side edge of at least one of the first lampshade and the second lampshade.

3. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 2, wherein, the first lampshade and the second lampshade are connected to the shaft by hinge joints.

4. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 2, wherein, the main light is an OLED area light source.

5. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 2, further comprising:

a base; and

a support;

wherein a first end of the support is connected to the shaft and a second end of the support is connected to the base.

6. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 5, wherein the support is a telescopic support with an adjustable height.

7. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 5, wherein the support is rotatable on the base.

8. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 5, further comprising:

a human eye recognition apparatus for sensing a human eye, the human eye recognition apparatus being disposed on the base;

wherein the control unit is configured to cause at least one of the main lights and the sidelight of the multi-source homework lamp to emit light when the human eye recognition apparatus senses a human eye; and

wherein the control unit is configured to cause at least one of the main lights and the sidelight of the multi-source homework lamp to stop emitting light when a human eye is not sensed after a predetermined length of time.

9. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 8, wherein, the human eye recognition apparatus is disposed on an upper surface of the base, and the upper surface of the base is at an angle with respect to a bottom surface of the base.

10. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 8, wherein, the human eye recognition apparatus is further used for determining a blink frequency, and wherein the control unit is configured to reduce the adjustable light intensity of the main lights when the blink frequency exceeds a predetermined frequency.

11. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 8, wherein, the human eye recognition apparatus is further used for determining a distance between the human eye and a desktop upon which the multi-source homework lamp is located.

12. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 11, wherein, the control unit is further configured to adjust the adjustable height of the telescopic support according to the distance between the human eve and the desktop.

13. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 11, comprising a warning unit for communicating warning information when the distance between the human eye and the desktop is less than a predetermined distance.

14. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 2, comprising:

a first light sensor disposed on the shaft for measuring an ambient light intensity; and

wherein the control unit is further configured to control at least one of the rotation of the first and second lampshades and the adjustable light intensity of the main lights according to the ambient light intensity.

15. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 14, wherein the control unit is configured to control the rotation of the first lampshade and the second lampshade when the ambient light intensity is larger than a predetermined threshold, such that an angle between the first lampshade and the second lampshade is between 120°

and 180°

.

16. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 14, characterized in that, the control unit is configured to control the rotation of the first lampshade and the second lampshade when the ambient light intensity is less than the predetermined threshold, such that the first lampshade is proximate the second lampshade and the main lights of both the first lampshade and the second lampshade face outwards.

17. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 14,

wherein, the sidelight comprises at least one of an inner sidelight proximate the shaft and an outer sidelight distal the shaft and opposite the inner sidelight;

and

wherein the control unit is configured to;

control the inner sidelights and the outer sidelights of the first lampshade and the second lampshade to be turned on when the ambient light intensity is less than the predetermined threshold; and

control the outer sidelights of the first lampshade and the second lampshade to be turned on and the inner sidelights of the first lampshade and the second lampshade to be turned off when the ambient light intensity is greater than the threshold.

18. The multi-source homework lamp according to claim 2, further comprising:

a second light sensor for receiving light reflected from a target object illuminated by the multi-source homework lamp and measuring a target object illuminance, the second light sensor being disposed on at least one of the first lampshade and the second lampshade;

wherein the control unit is further configured to adjust an adjustable light intensity of at least one of the main lights and the sidelights according to the target object illuminance, such that the target object illuminance reaches a desired target object illuminance.
