[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] The following will describe in detail the vehicle lighting module, vehicle lighting, and vehicle in this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] In the existing technology, setting up a complex mounting structure on the vehicle headlight not only leads to complex mold design and increases mold opening costs, but also the complex lamp body design is not conducive to the sealing and strength of the entire lamp.

[0036] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a vehicle lighting module, including a housing and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is connected to the backlight side of the housing, and includes a main body and a mounting element connected to each other. The main body is connected to the housing, and the mounting element is configured to connect to the vehicle body. A projection surface λ is defined perpendicular to the main light emission direction of the vehicle lighting module, and the orthographic projection of the mounting element on the projection surface λ is located outside the orthographic projection of the housing on the projection surface λ. This will be described in detail below.

[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The headlight module includes a housing 10 and a mounting bracket 20. The mounting bracket 20 is connected to the backlight side of the housing 10. The mounting bracket 20 includes a main body 21 and a mounting body 22 that are connected to each other. The main body 21 is connected to the housing 10, and the mounting body 22 is configured to be connected to the vehicle body 80. A projection surface λ is set perpendicular to the main light emission direction of the headlight module. The orthographic projection of the mounting body 22 on the projection surface λ is located outside the orthographic projection of the housing 10 on the projection surface λ.

[0038] The orthographic projection of the mounting body 22 on the projection plane λ is outside the orthographic projection of the housing 10 on the projection plane λ, that is, the mounting body 22 is disposed on the periphery of the housing 10 (e.g., Figure 1 As shown), the housing 10 will not obstruct the mounting body 22; when the housing 10 (the headlight) is installed on the vehicle sheet metal (body 80), the housing 10 will not hinder the operator's installation operation on the mounting body 22, reducing the installation difficulty and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0039] In addition, the mounting bracket 20 and the housing 10 are two independent components, which simplifies the structural design of the housing 10. The back of the housing 10 does not need to be equipped with related mounting structures (related structures for mounting the housing 10 on the vehicle body 80), which simplifies the structural design of the mold for the housing 10 and reduces the cost of mold opening. At the same time, the simplified housing 10 has a regular structure, which is conducive to improving the sealing performance and structural strength of the entire lamp.

[0040] It should be noted that in conventional vehicle lights, the light includes a housing 10 and an external lens 70 covering the housing 10. The backlight side of the housing 10 refers to the side of the housing 10 away from the external lens 70, that is, the mounting bracket 20 is located on the side of the housing 10 away from the external lens 70. The main light emission direction of the vehicle light module is as follows: Figure 4 The direction is X in the middle.

[0041] See Figure 4 and Figure 5The mounting body 22 includes a first mounting part 221 and a second mounting part 222, which are spaced apart in the main light emission direction of the headlight module. The first mounting part 221 is configured to connect to the body 80, and the second mounting part 222 is configured to connect to the trim panel 90.

[0042] In this embodiment, the headlight (mounting bracket 20) is mounted on the vehicle body 80 via the first mounting part 221, and the trim panel 90 is fixed via the second mounting part 222. The mounting bracket 20 can accommodate both the headlight and the trim panel 90, allowing for two types of installation in the same location. This avoids the need to arrange mounting structures for the trim panel 90 in other locations on the vehicle body 80, simplifying the structure of the vehicle body 80 and improving the practicality of the mounting bracket 20. At the same time, mounting the trim panel 90 and the headlight on the same mounting bracket 20 helps stabilize the relative position between the trim panel 90 and the headlight. Furthermore, the installation of the trim panel 90 can cover the mounting body 22, preventing external interference from affecting the stability of the headlight and trim panel 90 installation, and also improving the overall aesthetics.

[0043] In addition, the first mounting part 221 and the second mounting part 222 are spaced apart in the main light output direction of the headlight module to avoid interference between mounting the headlight on the body 80 through the first mounting part 221 and mounting the trim panel 90 on the second mounting part 222; the spaced arrangement of the two (the first mounting part 221 and the second mounting part 222) provides installation space.

[0044] For example, in some embodiments, the first mounting part 221 is screwed to the body 80 by screws, and the trim panel 90 is inserted into the second mounting part 222 by a pin to realize the installation of the trim panel 90; when the pin on the trim panel 90 is inserted into the second mounting part 222, since the first mounting part 221 and the second mounting part 222 are spaced apart, the pin will not contact the body 80, which can ensure that the pin is inserted in place, thereby improving the reliability of the installation of the trim panel 90.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the first mounting part 221 and the second mounting part 222 are spaced apart. After installation (after the installation of the trim panel 90 and the body 80), the force of the two is distributed on both sides of the mounting body 22 (both sides in the main light output direction of the headlight module), which is conducive to the balanced force on the mounting body 22 (mounting bracket 20) and improves stability. At the same time, the distance between the trim panel 90 and the body 80 can be adjusted by controlling the distance between the first mounting part 221 and the second mounting part 222, which is conducive to the adjustment of the installation position of the trim panel 90.

[0046] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first mounting part 221 is disposed on the side of the vehicle headlight closer to the vehicle body 80, compared to the second mounting part 222. Figure 5From the perspective of the first mounting part 221, it is located to the right of the second mounting part 222.

[0047] See Figure 2 The mounting body 22 is located on one side of the main body 21, and a pre-positioning pin 30 is provided on the side of the main body 21 away from the mounting body 22.

[0048] After the mounting bracket 20 is installed on the headlight, the headlight is moved toward the vehicle body 80, and the pre-positioning pin 30 is inserted into the vehicle sheet metal (vehicle body 80), thus realizing the pre-positioning of the headlight installation position. Furthermore, by setting the pre-positioning pin 30, the mounting body 22 can be adapted to the installation position (the position where the mounting body 22 is connected on the vehicle sheet metal), which facilitates the installation operation of the mounting body 22 and improves the assembly efficiency of the headlight.

[0049] It is worth mentioning that the pre-positioning pin 30 and the mounting body 22 are set on opposite sides of the main body 21, that is, the mounting points of the headlights are evenly distributed on the mounting bracket 20, which is conducive to improving the stability of the headlights after installation.

[0050] In some embodiments, the mounting body 22 may also be arranged around the periphery of the main body 21, that is, the mounting body 22 is provided around the periphery of the main body 21 (housing 10). The mounting body 22 is connected to the vehicle body 80, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the vehicle light installation, and is not limited to this.

[0051] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The vehicle light module also includes a connecting wire 40 and a connecting terminal 50 disposed at the free end of the connecting wire 40; the main body 21 is provided with a through hole 211, the connecting wire 40 passes through the through hole 211, and the connecting terminal 50 is disposed on the surface of the mounting body 22 facing the light-emitting side of the vehicle light module.

[0052] In this embodiment, the connecting wire 40 is used to provide power to the vehicle light. The connecting wire 40 extends from the housing 10, passes through the through hole 211, and extends to the side of the main body 21 away from the housing 10. This arrangement facilitates the arrangement of the connecting wire 40. When the connecting wire 40 is placed between the main body 21 and the housing 10, the connecting wire 40 is prone to excessive bending, which reduces its service life. In addition, the connecting terminal 50 is placed on the mounting body 22 (the surface facing the light-emitting side of the vehicle light module). When the connecting terminal 50 is connected (connected to an external cable), the operator can directly observe the connecting terminal 50, avoiding blind insertion of the connecting terminal 50 and improving the convenience of the connection operation.

[0053] It should be noted that the free end of the connecting wire 40 is the end of the connecting wire 40 that passes through the housing 10 and is used to connect to the outside to supply power to the vehicle lights.

[0054] In some embodiments, the mounting body 22 has a snap-fit ​​groove 60 on the side wall around the main light output direction of the vehicle headlight module. The snap-fit ​​groove 60 has a first groove segment 61 and a second groove segment 62 that are connected. The first groove segment 61 and the second groove segment 62 are set at an angle, which is not equal to 180°. The first groove segment 61 is configured to guide the connecting wire 40 into the second groove segment 62, and the second groove segment 62 is configured to snap the connecting wire 40.

[0055] With the snap-fit ​​groove 60, the connecting wire 40 can extend from the side of the mounting bracket 20 (body 21) away from the housing 10 to the side of the mounting bracket 20 facing the housing 10. That is, the connecting terminal 50 can be set on the surface of the mounting body 22 facing the light-emitting side of the vehicle lamp module. The snap-fit ​​groove 60 can ensure the stability and safety of the connecting wire 40 and improve the stability and reliability of the connection of the connecting terminal 50.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the snap-fit ​​slot 60 is not provided, the connecting wire 40 needs to cross over the side of the mounting body 22 so that the connecting terminal 50 can be placed on the surface of the mounting body 22 facing the light-emitting side of the headlight module. The side of the mounting body 22 and the vehicle body 80 will squeeze the connecting wire 40, causing the connecting wire 40 to break.

[0057] In some embodiments, the extension direction of the second slot segment 62 is parallel to the insertion direction of the connection terminal 50.

[0058] When the connecting wire 40 is snapped into the second slot 62, it will be arranged along the extension direction of the second slot 62. Since the extension direction of the second slot 62 is parallel to the insertion direction of the connecting terminal 50, the extension direction of the part of the connecting wire 40 set in the second slot 62 is also parallel to the insertion direction of the connecting terminal 50. That is, the connection between the connecting terminal 50 and the connecting wire 40 will not be bent, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the connection between the connecting wire 40 and the connecting terminal 50.

[0059] It should be noted that the insertion direction of the connecting terminal 50 is the same as the insertion direction when the connecting terminal 50 is connected to the external cable. Figure 3 From the perspective of the viewpoint, the insertion direction of the connecting terminal 50 is vertical, and the extension direction of the second slot 62 is also vertical.

[0060] See Figure 6 The mounting bracket 20 is detachably connected to the housing 10.

[0061] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 20 and the housing 10 are detachably connected. In actual use, the headlight or the mounting bracket 20 may be damaged. The headlight or the mounting bracket 20 can be replaced separately, which reduces the later maintenance cost.

[0062] When installing the vehicle lights, the mounting bracket 20 is connected to the housing 10 via the main body 21, and then the vehicle lights are installed on the vehicle body 80 via the mounting body 22. The structure is simple and the installation operation is convenient.

[0063] It should be noted that the mounting bracket 20 and the housing 10 can be connected by screws or other means. In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 20 and the housing 10 can also be connected by a non-removable connection structure, such as by welding the mounting bracket 20 to the housing 10. Such a setting is beneficial to the stability and reliability of the connection between the mounting bracket 20 and the housing 10. The connection structure between the housing 10 and the mounting bracket 20 is determined according to the actual use requirements and is not limited to this.

[0064] On the other hand, this application also relates to a vehicle light, including any of the aforementioned vehicle light modules.

[0065] On the other hand, this application also relates to a vehicle including the aforementioned headlights.

[0066] The technical solution provided in this application aims to provide a mounting body 22 around the periphery of the housing 10, ensuring that the housing 10 does not obstruct the mounting body 22. When the housing 10 (lamp) is installed on the vehicle sheet metal (body 80), the housing 10 does not hinder the operator's installation operation on the mounting body 22, reducing installation difficulty and improving assembly efficiency. The mounting bracket 20 and the housing 10 are two independent components, simplifying the structural design of the housing 10. No mounting structure is needed on the back of the housing 10, simplifying the mold design and reducing mold opening costs. Simultaneously, the simplified housing 10 has a regular structure, which helps improve the overall lamp's sealing performance and structural strength.
