[0031] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a lighting signal device 10 according to one embodiment of the present application. The lighting signal device 10 includes: a plurality of light-emitting assemblies 11 arranged at intervals. The lighting signal device 10 can be a vehicle lamp, a decorative neon lamp, or an advertising lamp for indoor or outdoor advertising.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lighting signal device 10 is a rear light of a vehicle, and two lighting signal devices 10 are provided. Both lighting signal devices 10 are fixed on the vehicle body. One lighting signal device 10 includes two light emitting components 11 arranged at intervals.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a lighting signal device 10 according to one embodiment of the present application. Each light-emitting assembly 11 includes a fixed bracket 100 and a light-emitting element 400. The fixed bracket 100 is made of a light-shielding material, such as metal or opaque plastic. The light-emitting element 400 is mounted on the fixed bracket 100.
[0035] The light-emitting element 400 includes a circuit board 410 and multiple LED lights 420. The circuit board 410 is fixed to the fixed bracket 100 through a snap connection, welding, or other methods. The LED lights 420 are connected to the circuit board 410 and are arranged in a linear array. The fixed bracket 100 is provided with multiple openings 110 for weight reduction and heat dissipation.
[0036] Each light emitting assembly 11 further includes a heat sink 500 , which is disposed on the fixing bracket 100 for heat dissipation.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 , which is shown in an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 Please refer to the A-A direction cross-sectional view. Figure 4, which is a schematic diagram of the optical path of an illumination signal device 10 according to one embodiment of the present application. Each light-emitting assembly 11 further includes a decorative ring 200 and a reflector 300. Both the reflector 300 and the decorative ring 200 are secured to the fixing bracket 100 via threaded or snap-fit connections. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 400 is directed toward the reflector 300, and the light reflected by the reflector 300 is directed toward the decorative ring 200. Therefore, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 400 is reflected by the reflector 300 and then emitted from the decorative ring 200.
[0038] The bezel 200 includes a light-transmitting body 210 and a light-blocking body 220. The light-transmitting body 210 is made of a light-transmitting material, such as glass or transparent plastic. The light-blocking body 220 is made of a light-blocking material, such as metal or opaque plastic. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting body 210 is made of transparent plastic, and the light-blocking body 220 is made of black opaque plastic.
[0039] One end of the light shielding body 220 is connected to the light transmitting body 210, and the other end extends along the direction of the light transmitting body 210 pointing to the reflector 300. The light transmitting body 210 and the light shielding body 220 are arranged to intersect, and the angle between the light transmitting body 210 and the light shielding body 220 can be acute, right or obtuse.
[0040] A notch 230 is formed at the intersection of the light-transmitting body 210 and the light-shielding body 220. The direction in which the reflector 300 points toward the bezel 200 is defined as downward. The notch 230 is formed by a height difference between the lower surfaces of the light-transmitting body 210 and the light-shielding body 220.
[0041] The notches 230 of two adjacent light-emitting components 11 are arranged relative to each other, so that the translucent bodies 210 of the two adjacent light-emitting components 11 are opposite to each other through the notches 230 ; when the light reflected by the reflector 300 hits the notch 230 , the light reflected by the reflector 300 can be emitted from the translucent body 210 .
[0042] Such an arrangement can expand the illumination range of a single light-emitting assembly 11, weaken or even avoid the dark area caused by the interval between two light-emitting assemblies 11, achieve a better lighting continuity effect, and improve the lighting effect.
[0043] In addition, since the light shielding body 220 of this embodiment is made of a light-shielding material, compared with the solution in which the light shielding body 220 is made of a light-transmitting material, it can not only avoid light leakage at the connection between the light shielding body 220 and the fixed bracket 100, but also facilitate manufacturing and meet the requirements of the mold process.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a partial structural diagram of the bezel 200 provided in the first embodiment of the present application. The translucent body 210 includes an intersecting straight portion 211 and a bent portion 212. The bent portion 212 is formed by the edge of the translucent body 210 tilting toward the reflector 300. The angle between the straight portion 211 and the bent portion 212 can be acute, flat, or obtuse.
[0045] The light-transmitting body 210 is connected to the light-blocking body 220 via a bent portion 212. The bent portion 212 and the light-blocking body 220 can be connected by bonding, welding, or snap-fitting. The bent portion 212 not only facilitates the secure connection between the light-transmitting body 210 and the bent portion 212, but also expands the size range of the notch 230, facilitating the design and achieving a consistent lighting effect.
[0046] The bent portion 212 is provided with a fixing protrusion 213, and the light shielding body 220 is provided with a fixing groove 221 that matches the fixing protrusion 213. The provision of the fixing protrusion 213 and the fixing groove 221 not only limits the relative displacement between the light-transmitting body 210 and the light shielding body 220, but also increases the contact area between the bent portion 212 and the light shielding body 220, thereby improving the connection stability of the bent portion 212 and the light shielding body 220.
[0047] In one embodiment, the bent portion 212 is not provided with the fixing protrusion 213 , and the light shielding body 220 is not provided with the fixing groove 221 .
[0048] Please refer to Figure 6 , which is shown in an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 A cross-sectional view taken along the A-A direction of the reflector 300. The reflector 300 includes a first mirror body 310 and a second mirror body 320. The first mirror body 310 and the second mirror body 320 are integrally formed and intersect with each other. The angle between the first mirror body 310 and the second mirror body 320 is acute, flat, or obtuse. The first mirror body 310 and the light-transmitting body 210 are disposed opposite each other. One end of the second mirror body 320 is connected to the first mirror body 310, and the other end extends in the direction from the first mirror body 310 to the light-transmitting body 210.
[0049] The light shield 220 is located outside the second mirror 320. That is, in two adjacent light-emitting assemblies 11, the two light shields 220 are adjacent and opposite each other. This arrangement, in contrast to a light shield 220 located inside the second mirror 320, can prevent the light shield 220 from interfering with the reflection of the reflector 300.
[0050] A first gap D1 is left between the second mirror 320 and the light-transmitting body 210. The second mirror 320 and the light-shielding body 220 are arranged in an interlaced manner so that the first gap D1 is shielded by the light-shielding body 220. This arrangement can avoid light leakage or shadow problems at the first gap D1.
[0051] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
