[0045] In addition, for the convenience of description, in this embodiment, the width direction of the vehicle body (i.e., the arrangement direction of the main driver's seat and the co-driver's seat) is pre-defined as the Y direction of the vehicle body, the length direction of the vehicle body (i.e., the arrangement direction of the front and the rear of the vehicle) is the X direction of the vehicle body, and the height direction of the vehicle body (i.e., the arrangement direction of the bottom and the roof of the vehicle) is the Z direction of the vehicle body.

[0046] Please also read Figures 1 to 8 The telescopic reading lamp provided by the present application is now described. The telescopic reading lamp provided by the present application comprises a swing arm 1, a sliding arm 2 and a lamp body 4.

[0047] The swing arm 1 is hinged on the inner wall of the vehicle facing the Y direction of the vehicle body, specifically, one end of the swing arm 1 is hinged on the vehicle body; wherein, the hinge axis of the swing arm 1 is parallel to the X direction of the vehicle body, and a slot 11 extending along its own length direction is also provided on its swing end surface.

[0048] The sliding arm 2 is slidably inserted in the slot 11, with one end thereof extending out of the slot 11, and a positioning structure 3 is provided between the sliding arm 2 and the swing arm 1; the positioning structure 3 enables the sliding arm 2 and the swing arm 1 to be connected, thereby limiting the movement of the sliding arm 2 relative to the swing arm 1.

[0049] The lamp body 4 is disposed at the protruding end of the sliding arm 2 and has two light emitting portions 41 thereon for emitting light towards and away from the sliding arm 2 respectively.

[0050] In actual design, the implementation of the two light emitting parts 41 includes the following two technical solutions:

[0051] First, the lamp housing is designed to have a double-sided light-emitting structure. Specifically, the lamp housing is made of a light-proof, hollow material, the light source is fixed inside the lamp housing, and openings are provided on both sides of the lamp housing in the up and down directions for the light source to project out.

[0052] Secondly, the lamp is equipped with two different light output modules. For example, multiple LED patches are fixed on the upper and lower sides of the lamp housing respectively. Under the action of numerical control, the two groups of LED patches are turned on at the same time to achieve a visual effect of double-sided light output.

[0053] In actual use, the swing arm 1 has a folded state in which its length direction is parallel to the Z direction of the vehicle body, and an opened state in which its length direction is parallel to the Y direction of the vehicle body; wherein, when the swing arm 1 is in the opened state, the two light emitting portions 41 are both facing the Z direction of the vehicle body; part of the light source projected by the light emitting portion 41 on the upper side can act on the reading environment under the reflection of the roof, and the light source projected by the light emitting portion 41 on the lower side can directly act on the reading environment, and the two are coordinated to realize the lighting of the reading environment and meet the brightness requirements for eye protection.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, the swing arm 1 in the folded state can avoid occupying the Y-direction space inside the vehicle; on the other hand, the swing arm 1 in the open state can realize the vertical arrangement of the two light-emitting parts 41 so that the lamp body 4 can emit light on both sides; wherein, the lower light source can directly act on the lighting, while the upper light source serves to expand the lighting range.

[0055] On the basis of the above contents, the sliding arm 2 is moved relative to the swing arm 1, so that the lighting range can be adjusted along the Y direction of the vehicle body to adapt to the use of people in different seating areas.

[0056] It should be noted that the reason why the light emitting portion 41 of the lamp body 4 is ensured to face the up and down direction when in the activated state is to avoid the light emitting in the front and rear directions, thereby affecting the driver's field of vision, and to ensure the safety of the vehicle.

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the retractable reading light provided in this embodiment can reduce the impact of dark areas by expanding the lighting range, thereby improving the reading experience of people in the car.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall of the slot 11 has a strip groove 12 extending along the axial direction thereof, and the opening of the strip groove 12 faces the central axis of the slot 11 .

[0059] The aforementioned lamp body 4 also includes a trigger switch 42 electrically connected to its control module, and the activation of the lamp body 4 can be controlled by the trigger switch 42, that is, when the trigger switch 42 is pressed under the action of an external force, the lamp body 4 is activated.

[0060] In this embodiment, the trigger switch 42 is fixedly connected to the sliding arm 2 and inserted into the strip groove 12; during the sliding process of the sliding arm 2 relative to the swing arm 1, there are the following two stages:

[0061] First, the trigger switch 42 is in the strip groove 12, at this time, there is a certain gap between the head of the trigger switch 42 and the bottom of the strip groove 12, the trigger switch 42 is not activated, and the lamp body 4 is in the off state;

[0062] Secondly, the trigger switch 42 withdraws from the strip groove 12 and the head of the trigger switch 42 abuts against the inner wall of the slot 11 . At this time, the trigger switch 42 is activated and the two light emitting parts 41 of the lamp body 4 emit light.

[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the side surface of the strip groove 12 facing its own length direction is an inclined surface; in the direction toward the bottom of the strip groove 12, the inclined surface is inclined toward the inner side of the strip groove 12 to guide and protect the head of the trigger switch 42, avoiding damage caused by abutting against the plane; at the same time, it also ensures the feel of the operator when pulling the sliding arm 2, avoiding the generation of a sense of frustration, and improving the user experience of this product.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning structure 3 includes a plurality of first concave ball grooves 31 and first convex spheres 32

[0065] A plurality of first concave ball grooves 31 are all formed on the inner wall of the slot 11 , and are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the slot 11 .

[0066] The first convex ball 32 is fixedly disposed on the sliding arm 2 , and is adapted to move synchronously with the movement of the sliding arm 2 so as to be embedded in any one of the first concave ball grooves 31 .

[0067] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first convex sphere 32 is embedded in the first concave ball groove 31, the movement of the sliding arm 2 relative to the swing arm 1 is limited; and in the process of human pulling the sliding arm 2 to move, the force can make the first convex sphere 32 squeeze in between the sliding arm 2 and the inner wall of the slot 11, causing the first convex sphere 32 to undergo a certain deformation until the first convex sphere 32 enters the next first concave ball groove 31 (at this time, the human hand will sense a small shake to prompt the operator that it has entered the next positioning position).

[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the insertion end of the sliding arm 2 has a protrusion 21, and the opening of the slot 11 has an anti-slip portion 111 extending inward and suitable for abutting the protrusion 21; through the cooperation of the anti-slip portion 111 and the protrusion 21, the sliding arm 2 can be prevented from sliding out of the slot 11, thereby improving the overall stability of the structure.

[0069] The aforementioned positioning structure 3 is disposed between the protruding portion 21 and the swing arm 1 to ensure that the gap between the protruding portion 21 and the swing arm 1 is small enough.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the telescopic reading lamp further comprises a lamp holder 5 .

[0071] The lamp holder 5 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the vehicle body facing the Y direction, and is provided with a receiving groove 51 open toward the inner space of the vehicle.

[0072] One end of the swing arm 1 proposed in the above content is hinged to the inner wall of the accommodating groove 51; in actual use, the swing arm 1 in the folded state is located in the accommodating groove 51, and the inner bottom surface of the accommodating groove 51 supports the swing arm 1 in the open state, so as to be protected by the accommodating groove 51 and at the same time ensure the stability of the swing arm 1 at the maximum swing angle.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the extended end of the sliding arm 2 is connected to a boss 22 , and the aforementioned lamp body 4 is disposed on the boss 22 .

[0074] When the insertion end of the sliding arm 2 abuts against the bottom of the slot 11 , the boss 22 abuts against the swing end of the swing arm 1 , and the boss 22 is suitable for swinging into the accommodating groove 51 along with the swing arm 1 .

[0075] It should be noted that, usually, the lamp holder 5 is installed in a sunken manner to cooperate with the vehicle body, that is, the outer side surface of the lamp holder 5 is coplanar with the inner wall of the vehicle body; on this basis, since the swing arm 1 in the retracted state is located in the accommodating groove 51, all components except the lamp body 4 are hidden inside the vehicle body, avoiding the occupation of the interior space of the vehicle by this product and improving the visual unity of the interior structure of the entire vehicle.

[0076] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a second concave ball groove 52 is formed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 51 , and a second convex ball body 221 suitable for being embedded in the second concave ball groove 52 is formed on the boss 22 .

[0077] In actual use, the position of the boss 22 relative to the lamp holder 5 can be restricted by the engagement relationship between the second convex sphere 221 and the second concave sphere groove 52; on this basis, since the swing arm 1 and the lamp holder 5 have a clear connection relationship, the relative movement of the sliding arm 2 and the swing arm 1 is also fully limited.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the lamp body 4 is connected to the sliding arm 2 via a ball joint support 6. Specifically, the fixed end and the swing end of the ball joint support 6 are respectively connected to the boss 22 and the back side of the lamp body 4 (i.e., the side where the upward light emitting portion 41 is located).

[0079] In actual use, the ball joint support 6 allows the lamp body 4 to have the freedom to swing relative to the sliding arm 2, so that the direction of the light source projected by the lamp body 4 can be adaptively changed, thereby enhancing the versatility of this product when used for reading lighting. Even the lamp body 4 on the left side can also be used in the reading environment of the person sitting on the right side, thereby improving the reading experience of the entire vehicle.

[0080] It should be noted that the ball joint support 6 mentioned in the above content has a pre-tightening characteristic, that is, the ball joint support 6 is difficult to work without human power, thereby avoiding the shaking of the light source due to the bumps of the car body, thereby avoiding a bad reading experience for the reader.

[0081] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a car, comprising the retractable reading light proposed in any of the aforementioned items.

[0082] The beneficial effects of the automobile provided by this embodiment are the same as the beneficial effects of the aforementioned retractable reading light, which will not be repeated here.

[0083] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
