[0029] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a connection device for connecting a headlight to a vehicle body, including a headlight connection assembly and a vehicle body connection assembly. The headlight connection assembly is used to connect the headlight 1. The vehicle body connection assembly includes a guide component 21 and a mounting seat 22, and the bottom of the guide component 21 is connected to the headlight 1 connection assembly. The mounting seat 22 is sleeved on the outside of the guide component 21, and the mounting seat 22 is provided with a first buckle component 23 extending upward, and the first buckle component 23 can be deformed. The left and right sides of the guide component 21 are both provided with a first limiting groove 25, and the first buckle component 23 is provided with a positioning block 24. See Figure 4 In the initial state, the positioning block 24 extends into the first limiting groove 25, and the guide component 21 and the first buckle component 23 extend into the matching hole of the vehicle body 3. Figure 5 In the working state, the guide component 21 moves upward relative to the first buckle component 23, the positioning block 24 disengages from the first limiting groove 25, and opens the first buckle component 23, so that the first buckle component 23 is buckled to the vehicle body 3.

[0030] See also Figure 1 When installing the lamp 1 on the vehicle body 3, first connect the lamp 1 to the lamp connecting assembly, then extend the guide component 21 and the first buckle component 23 of the vehicle body connecting assembly into the matching hole of the vehicle body 3, so that the first buckle component 23 reaches the preset buckling position, see Figure 4 Then, the guide member 21 is pushed upwards further, see Figure 5 , so that the positioning block 24 is separated from the first limiting groove 25 and the first buckle component 23 is stretched open, so that the first buckle component 23 is clamped on the vehicle body 3, and the vehicle body connection assembly is fixed to the vehicle body 3, and then the lamp 1 can be installed on the vehicle body 3, and the installation of the lamp 1 is relatively simple. The connecting device for connecting the lamp 1 to the vehicle body 3 and the automobile of the technical solution do not need to install buckles on the vehicle body 3, avoiding the cumbersome process of installing buckles in the production process of the main engine factory, optimizing the production process of the main engine factory, and at the same time, can reduce the number of holes punched in the vehicle body 3, ensuring the production quality of the vehicle body 3.

[0031] See also Figure 2In some embodiments, guide rails 26 arranged along the length direction are provided on both the left and right sides of the guide component 21, and first limit grooves 25 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the guide rail 26. The positioning block 24 includes a first positioning block and a second positioning block, which are distributed on the top of the first buckle component 23 along the front and rear directions. A guide groove is formed between the first positioning block and the second positioning block, and the guide groove cooperates with the guide rail 26. In the initial state, the first positioning block extends into the first limit groove 25 located at the front side of the guide rail 26, and the second positioning block extends into the first limit groove 25 located at the rear side of the guide rail 26. Through the cooperation of the guide groove and the guide rail 26, when the connecting device is switched from the initial state to the working state, the guide groove guides the guide component 21 to move upward relative to the first buckle, ensuring that the guide component 21 can move along the predetermined track, and ensuring the smooth progress of the installation work.

[0032] The mounting seat 22 can be mounted on the outside of the guide component 21 by means of a snap connection, or can be mounted on the outside of the guide component 21 by means of an embedding connection. Figure 2 In some embodiments, the front and rear sides of the guide member 21 are both provided with a second limiting groove 27 and a plurality of backstop teeth 28 evenly distributed along the length direction, the second limiting groove 27 is located above the backstop teeth 28, and the mounting seat 22 is also provided with a second buckle member 29 extending upward, and the second buckle member 29 can be deformed. The second buckle member 29 is provided with a limiting tooth 20, see Figure 6 In the initial state, the limiting tooth 20 extends into the second limiting groove 27, so that the mounting seat 22 can be mounted on the guide member 21. Figure 7 In the working state, the limiting tooth 20 is disengaged from the second limiting groove 27 and meshes with the stop tooth 28 to prevent the guide component 21 from falling off the vehicle body 3, ensuring that the mounting seat 22 and the guide component 21 are always kept in a fixed state, so as to achieve the purpose of stably installing the vehicle lamp 1. Among them, the number of the second buckle components 29 on the front and rear sides of the guide component 21 can be set to one or more according to the actual production and assembly stability requirements.

[0033] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the bottom of the guide component 21 is provided with a base 41 extending toward the periphery, and the mounting seat 22 is provided with a support boss 42 on the outer side of the first buckle component 23.

In the working state, the base 41 is used to abut against the mounting seat 22 to limit the guide component 21 from further extending into the matching hole of the vehicle body 3. By providing the base 41 and the mounting seat 22, it is convenient to define the specific installation positions of the first buckle component 23 and the guide component 21 when installing the vehicle lamp 1.

[0034] See also Figure 1When the lamp 1 is mounted on the vehicle body 3, the guide member 21 and the first buckle member 23 are simultaneously extended into the matching hole of the vehicle body 3, see Figure 5 When the support boss 42 abuts against the vehicle body 3, the vehicle body 3 restricts the mounting seat 22 from continuing to extend into the matching hole of the vehicle body 3, thereby determining the installation position of the first buckle. Subsequently, the guide member 21 is continued to extend into the matching hole of the vehicle body 3, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the positioning block 24 is separated from the first limiting groove 25 and the first buckle component 23 is opened, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the limiting tooth 20 disengages from the second limiting groove 27 and slides downward relative to the guide member 21. When the base 41 reaches the mounting seat 22, see Figure 2 The mounting seat 22 limits the guide component 21 from further extending into the matching hole of the vehicle body 3, thereby determining the installation position of the guide component 21. At the same time, the first snap component 23 can be snapped onto the vehicle body 3 to complete the fixation and positioning of the installation of the headlight 1. The limiting tooth 20 of the second snap component 29 can be engaged with the stop tooth 28 to prevent the guide component 21 from withdrawing from the vehicle body 3, thereby achieving the purpose of stably installing the headlight 1.
