DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The accompanying drawings are for exemplary illustration only, and should not be construed as limitations on this patent; in order to better illustrate this embodiment, some parts in the accompanying drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and they do not represent the size of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that certain well-known structures and descriptions thereof in the accompanying drawings may be omitted. The positional relationship described in the accompanying drawings is only for exemplary illustration, and should not be construed as limitations on this patent.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 1, a stage light fixture with an optical parameter detection function is provided according to one embodiment, which includes a light head 100, a supporting arm 200 for supporting the light head 100 to rotate, and a case 300 for supporting the supporting arm 200 to rotate. In the light head 100, a light source 110 for generating a light path, a light guiding member 120 for guiding light to deviate from the light path, and an optical parameter detector 130 are arranged. The light guiding member 120 can be freely switched into/out of the light path by a driving mechanism. The optical parameter detector 130 is configured to receive and detect the light guided out by the light guiding member 120.

[0026] According to the present invention, the light guiding member 120 is configured to freely switch into/out of the light path, the light emitted by the light source 110 thus can be guided to the optical parameter detector 130 by the light guiding member 120, parameters such as brightness and color of the light emitted by the light source 110 are detected by the optical parameter detector 130. Therefore, detailed parameters of the light emitted by the light source 110 can be obtained according to the stage light fixture of the present embodiment, the light source 110 thus can be corrected according to the parameters obtained to make the optical parameter thereof in an ideal value, thereby achieving more accurate controlling over the optical parameter.

[0027] The light guiding member 120 in the present embodiment will not affect projection effects of the light beams. As the light guiding member 120 can be freely switched into/out of the light path according to demands. Specifically, according to the present embodiment, it can be switched into the light path, only when the stage light fixture is started to work, to guide the light to the optical parameter detector 130 for detection, or detection is performed at an interval between operations of the stage light fixture, while the light guiding member 120 will be switched out of the light path during operation of the stage light fixture, Accordingly, the light guiding member 120 will not affect projection effects of the light beams.

[0028] In addition, according to the present embodiment, the light emitted from the light source 110 is firstly guided out by the light guiding member 120, and is then detected by the optical parameter detector 130, rather than directly putting the optical parameter detector 130 into the light path to directly receive and detect the light emitted from the light source 110, such configuration thus can avoid a cable connected to the optical parameter detector 130 from damage caused by heat under direct irradiation of strong light of the light source 110, which will result in a short circuit.

[0029] The driving mechanism in the present embodiment may be a screw motor to drive the optical parameter detector 130 to move linearly, or may be a conventional motor to drive the optical parameter detector 130 to move in an arc shape via a swing arm. The driving mechanism may also include two motors, which cooperate to make the optical parameter detector 130 move in two directions on the same plane, or include three motors combined to make the movement of the optical parameter detector 130 beyond the plane.

[0030] The light guiding member 120 can be a reflecting mirror according to a preferable embodiment. The light guiding member 120 thus guides the light according to the principle of reflection, which can avoid continuous guidance once the light is reflected, additional elements are not required, thus tacking up less space. The reflecting mirror may be glass or other objects that can reflect light. In other embodiments, the light guiding member 120 may also be a light guide or optical fiber.

[0031] The reflecting mirror can be preferably a reflecting bowl, reflected light thus can be focused on the optical parameter detector 130. As the light emitted by the light source 110 is non-parallel light, which will converge before the focal point and diverge after the focal point, and will continue to diverge after being reflected by a plane mirror, such light will not be detected by the optical parameter detector 130. However, the reflected light can be focused on the optical parameter detector 130 by the reflecting bowl, such focused light can be easily detected.

[0032] The optical parameter detector 130 is located at a focal point of the reflecting bowl according to a preferable embodiment, as FIG. 2 shown.

[0033] The reflecting mirror can perform diffuse reflection. As known, the light source 110 of the stage light fixture has higher power and stronger illumination, which will easily exceed detection range of the optical parameter detector 130 or require a higher-price device with a wider measuring range. However, intensity of the guided light can be reduced by diffuse reflection. Original optical parameters of the light source 110 can be obtained by weighting the detection results of the optical parameter detector 130 according to degrees of roughness of the reflecting surface of the reflecting mirror. The requirements for the optical parameter detector 130 thus can be lowered by the design of diffuse reflection, which is especially required to reduce the intensity of the guided light in the situation that the light of the light source 110 is directly detected in the light head 100.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a light attenuating member 180 can be provided between the light guiding member 120 and the optical parameter detector 130. In order to reduce light intensity of the reflected light, the light attenuating member 180 may be covered on the surface of the light guiding member 120, or may be covered a light inlet of the optical parameter detector 130, or may be independently arranged.

[0035] As FIG. 2 shown, when the light guiding member 120 is switched into the light path, the light guiding member 120 is better to be located close to a focal point of the light path emitted by the light source 110, which can guide all the light in the light path to the optical parameter detector 130. The light emitted by the light source 110 is most concentrated at the focal point, so the light guiding member 120 arranged close to the focal point can facilitate directly guiding all the light of the light source 110 to the optical parameter detector 130 for detection. With such configuration, the optical parameters of the light emitted by the light source 110 can be overall detected.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 3, in this embodiment, when the light guiding member 120 is switched into the light path, the light guiding member 120 is configurated to guide only part of the light in the light path to the optical parameter detector 130. Especially, when a bubble lamp is used as the light source 110. Such light source 110 has a small luminous point, the light path is thus more balanced as a whole, and the optical parameters at different positions are almost identical, so that optical parameters of the whole light path can be obtained by performing sampling detection on the light path.

[0037] In such case, especially when the light source 110 are LEDs, in order to receive more lights, the light guiding member 120 is driven to move in the light path by the driving mechanism, and during the movement of the light guiding member 120, the optical parameter detector 130 always keeps receiving the light guided by the light guiding member 120. When LEDs are used as the light source 110, a number of LED beads are usually arranged together to form the light source 110 as a whole. Therefore, it is possible to acquire the optical parameters of each region in the light path by driving the light guiding member 120 to move in the light path via the driving mechanism, and further to know whether the LEDs in an LED array are locally damaged or light attenuated. That is, self-inspection of the light source 110 can be achieved.

[0038] Preferably, the driving mechanism is configured to drive the light guiding member 120 to travel through the entire cross section of the light path, so that light in each region can be detected by the optical parameter detector 130.

[0039] The light path of the light emitted by the light source 110 is unchanged. In order to ensure that the optical parameter detector 130 always keeps receiving the light guided by the light guiding member 120 during the movement of the optical parameter detector 130 in the light path, a corresponding positions relationship between the optical parameter detector 130 and the light guiding member 120 can be pre-set, which can achieve that when the light guiding member 120 is moved, the optical parameter detector 130 can be moved synchronously, or the optical parameter detector 130 can be deflected by a certain angle during the movement, thus keeping guiding the light to enter the optical parameter detector 130 all the time. The deflection angle can also be pre-set.

[0040] In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the light guiding member 120 is switched into the side of a focal point of the light path emitted from the light source 110 away from the light source 110. This is because a plurality of effect assemblies are provided between the focal point and the light source 110, including a CMY assembly 171, a shader 172, a color filter wheel 173, a gobo 174, the space between the focal point and the light source 110 will be very compact. As a result, such configuration that the light guiding member 120 is arranged on the side of the focal point away from the light source 110 may save space occupied between the focal point and the light source 110.

[0041] The light guiding member 120 can be the CMY assembly 171. The CMY assembly 171 is usually arranged obliquely, the existing CMY assembly 171 is directly used for guiding the light in the light path to the optical parameter detector 130, which thus can reduce installation of additional elements and save space in the light head 100.

[0042] A focusing lens 140, a magnifying lens 150, and a light emitting lens 160 can be further successively provided in the light head 100 in the light emitting direction of the light source 110. The definition of projected light spots can be adjusted by the focusing lens 140, the size of the projected light spots can be adjusted by the magnifying lens 150, and the light can be further concentrated by the light emitting lens 160 to narrow divergence angle of the light path.

[0043] Preferably, the focusing lens 140 or the magnifying lens 150 can be moved, a movement path of the focusing lens 140 or the magnifying lens 150 can pass through the plane where the light guiding member 120 is located. In such configuration, when it is required to detect the optical parameter of the light source 110, the focusing lens 140 or the magnifying lens 150 can be driven to avoid the light guiding member 120, so that the light guiding member 120 can be switched into the light path without interference; or when the focusing lens 140 or the magnifying lens 150 is not located in the plane where the light guiding member 120 is located, the light guiding member 120 is switched into the light path for detection. Due to the large motion range of the focusing lens 140 and the magnifying lens 150, enough space in such region is existed, so when the light guiding member 120 guides the light to the optical parameter detector 130, the light will not be shielded.

[0044] Optical parameters detected by the optical parameter detector 130 mentioned above may include at least one of an illumination intensity, a color, a color temperature, a color rendering index and a blue light intensity. Accordingly, the optical parameter detector 130 may be a brightness detector, a color detector or a blue light detector, etc.

[0045] According to other embodiments, the light guiding member 120 can be a light guide. The light will be moved forward within the light guide under the principle of total reflection, the light thus can be guided to the optical parameter detector to be detected.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, changes or modifications in other different forms can also be made on the basis of the above description. It is not needed and it is impossible to list all implementation modes here.
