DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(5) With reference to the drawings, a furniture light-emitting assembly according to a first embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the following paragraphs.

(6) As shown in FIG. 1, in the embodiment of the invention, the furniture light-emitting assembly includes a strip light 1, a fixing part 2, a heat insulation layer 3, a light guide material layer 4, and a power supply assembly. The heat insulation layer 3 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material, and the strip light 1 is disposed on the fixing part 2 either by gluing a backside of the strip light 1 onto the fixing part 2 or by stitching the fixing part 2 and the light guide material layer 4 together to fix the strip light 1. Compared to the method of fixing the strip light with transparent glue in the related art, the two methods can prevent the glue from falling off during the heating process. The strip light 1 is flexible, so the strip light 1 is disposed on the fixing part 2 in any shape. The heat insulation layer 3 covers the strip light 1, and the heat insulation layer 3 has heat resistance, which prevents a direct contact between the strip light 1 and the light guide material layer 4, thereby preventing the safety hazards caused by the heat of the stirp light 1 to the light guide material layer 4 and preventing the lamp beads on the strip light 1 from contacting the light guide material layer 4 after the lamp beads are heated, which the contact therebetween may taint the lamp beads. The light guide material layer 4 covers the heat insulation layer 3, and as shown in FIG. 3, light is refracted through the light guide material layer to form soft light. The soft light effect is even more significant when the distance between the strip light 1 and the light guide material layer 4 is greater than 15 mm. The power supply assembly is connected to the strip light to supply energy, the power supply assembly can be a power cord connected to a power supply or an assembly that can independently provide energy, and the power supply assembly usually adopts lithium batteries since the assembly is usually used in movable furniture.

(7) As shown in FIG. 1, the fixing part 2 and the heat insulation layer 3 are integrally formed to cover the strip light and respectively are located at the lower end and the upper end of the strip light 1. The fixing part 2 and the heat insulation layer 3 have the same material having certain heat resistance, which can prevent the safety hazards caused by the heat generated on the backside of the strip light to the furniture.

(8) The strip light 1 can emit at least two colors of light, and the light guide material layer has various colors and may have combinations of color light when combined with the strip light. Moreover, the strip light 1 can control the color and the sequence of the light emitted in each area and whether to emit light or not through a control panel to meet the needs of different users.

(9) The strip light is an RGB light strip or an LED light strip, and the light guide material layer is foams, EVA foams, or EPE foams. The material of the heat insulation layer is non-woven fabric or PVC, and the material of the fixing part is non-woven fabric or PVC.

(10) FIG. 2 illustrates a light-emitting seat according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the light-emitting seat in FIG. 2. The light-emitting seat having the furniture light-emitting assembly includes a chair frame 5, the furniture light-emitting assembly, and a skin layer 6. The fixing part 2 and the heat insulation layer are integrally formed, and the fixing part 2 and the light guide material layer 4 are stitched together to fix the strip light 1. Moreover, the light guide material layer 4 covers the outside of the chair frame, the skin layer 6 covers outside of the chair frame 5 and the furniture light-emitting assembly, the material of at least the area 7 of the skin layer 6 covering the furniture light-emitting assembly is a light-transmitting material, and the light-transmitting material is selected from mesh cloth, silica gel, and transparent plastic. It is noted that the light-transmitting part 7 of the skin layer 6 in FIG. 2 is partially removed simply to properly and clearly illustrate the internal structure of the light-emitting seat, while the skin layer 6 actually covers the outside of the chair frame 5 and the furniture light-emitting assembly without the opening in FIG. 2.

(11) In the above embodiments, only several implementation modes of the invention are illustrated, the description is relatively specific and detailed, but note that the description is not intended to limit the patent scope of the invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the invention, several modifications and improvements can be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the invention should be subject to the appended claims.
