Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a verification device for anti-fog performance used in vehicle lamp design, belonging to the technical field of vehicle lamps. Background Art

[0002] Automobile headlights are an important part of the field of automobile safety technology and are of great significance to driving safety.

[0003] In the daily use of cars, sometimes fog or condensation is found inside the car exterior lamps, especially on the inner surface of the light distribution mirror. If there is a lot of water, water will collect inside the lamp, which has a great impact on driving safety. At present, most car lights use light bulbs as light sources, and the lamp housing, lampshade surface and decorative ring are made of plastic, so they have the characteristics of low cost and light weight. However, when the car lights are working, high temperature areas and cold areas will be generated after the light source is lit. If the heat cannot be evenly dissipated, it will affect the service life and performance of surrounding parts. When the temperature difference of the lamp is large, fog will be generated on the inner surface of the lampshade, especially in the corners of the lamp where the airflow is not smooth, which is a high-incidence area of ​​fogging. The fogging of the lamp will not only affect the appearance of the lamp, but also bring huge hidden dangers to driving safety.

[0004] The fogging problem of headlights is a difficult problem in the current automotive industry. The current measures to solve the fogging of headlights mainly include adding anti-fog coating on the lampshade surface, adding desiccant inside the lamp, and adding air holes in the shell, but none of them can fundamentally eliminate the existence of fog. In the long run, there is a risk of water accumulation in the lamp, which seriously threatens the service life of the headlight bulb and the safety of the circuit inside the headlight. Starting from the structure of the lamp itself, the present invention simplifies the lamp model, adjusts the gap between the lampshade and the decorative ring, the angle of the curved edge under the lampshade surface, the inlet and outlet distance between the decorative ring and the lampshade surface edge, and other structural factors that affect the flow channel in the lamp, summarizes the influence of the flow channel structure on the airflow velocity in the lamp, so as to prevent and control the fogging problem of the lamp in the early stage of headlight design. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to simulate the influence of fog on the airflow in the lamp, the present invention provides a verification device for the anti-fog performance of automobile lamp design, characterized in that: it includes a shell, a lampshade is provided on the shell, a flange facing the inner cavity of the shell is provided at the bottom of the lampshade, a decorative ring corresponding to the shape of the flange is provided in the lampshade, a gap is formed between the decorative ring and the flange, a mounting hole is provided at a position of the shell corresponding to the gap, the mounting hole is connected with a wind speed meter, an air vent is provided on one side of the shell, a guide plate is provided at the bottom of the shell, baffles are provided on both sides of the guide plate, the shell, the guide plate and the baffle form an air cavity, an air inlet is provided at the bottom of the air cavity, one end of the air cavity is connected with the gap, and the other end is connected with the air vent.

[0006] Preferably, the lampshade is tilted, and the angle between the inclined surface of the lampshade and the bottom of the shell is 60°.

[0007] Furthermore, the flange is an upper flange and a lower flange, the flange is L-shaped, the upper flange is connected to the lampshade, the lower flange is connected to the housing at an angle downward, and the angle between the upper flange and the lower flange is 90° to 180°. The flange angles are different, and by replacing flanges of different angles, the airflow conditions at different angles are simulated and analyzed.

[0008] Preferably, the height of the air cavity is 3-5 mm. The guide plate is higher than the air inlet hole, so as to facilitate the airflow to flow in the guide plate and guide the airflow to flow evenly into the gap between the decorative ring and the lampshade surface.

[0009] Furthermore, scale grooves are provided on both sides of the housing, which facilitate recording the distance moved by the decorative ring, so as to facilitate subsequent experiments.

[0010] Preferably, the decorative ring and the two end surfaces of the guide plate are bonded to the shell, which facilitates subsequent disassembly and assembly and meets experimental requirements under different conditions.

[0011] Beneficial effects: The verification device of the present invention has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is easy to operate. Since the gap between the decorative ring and the lampshade surface, the angle of the lampshade flange, and the distance between the upper and lower inlet and outlet of the decorative ring can be tested and verified during the design stage of the lamp, the influence of the airflow velocity can be obtained, and the ideal airflow velocity for dissipating the fog can be obtained, thereby effectively reducing the risk of fogging of the lamp assembly, improving the performance of the lamp, and playing a role in preventing and controlling the fogging problem of the lamp.
