[0028] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding. These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a receiving light according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, a pick-up light 100 is applied to an autonomous driving vehicle 200, and the pick-up light 100 includes:

[0030] Translucent mirror 10;

[0031] A housing 20 , wherein the housing 20 and the light-transmitting mirror 10 enclose a receiving cavity 11 ;

[0032] The light-emitting component 30 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 11, and the light-emitting component 30 includes a light-emitting device 31 and a light guide 32. The light guide 32 is provided with a concentrator 33. The light-emitting device 31 is in contact with the light guide 32 through the concentrator 33. The light-emitting surface of the light guide 32 is arranged toward the light-transmitting mirror 10.

[0033] It should be noted that the materials of the light-transmitting mirror 10, the housing 20 and the light-emitting assembly 30 are not limited herein. For example, the light-transmitting mirror 10 can be made of polycarbonate (PC) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA); the housing 20 can be made of a mixture of PC and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), or the housing 20 can be made directly of ABS; and the light-guiding member 32 can be made of PC or PMMA.

[0034] The working principle of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be described as follows:

[0035] Since the light-emitting assembly 30 includes a light guide 32 and a light-emitting device 31, a concentrator 33 is provided on the light guide 32, the light-emitting device 31 is in contact with the light guide 32 through the concentrator 33, and the light-emitting surface of the light guide 32 is arranged toward the light-transmitting mirror 10, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting device 31 passes through the focusing of the concentrator 33 and the guiding of the light guide 32 in sequence, is transmitted to the light-emitting surface of the light guide 32, and then is irradiated into the external environment through the light-transmitting mirror 10. In this way, the light emitted by the light-emitting device 31 can be less lost when transmitted inside the welcoming light 100, thereby enhancing the display effect of the welcoming light 100.

[0036] That is to say, the concentrator 33 has a concentrating effect on the light emitted by the light-emitting device 31, and the light guide 32 has a light guiding effect on the light emitted by the light-emitting device 31. In this way, through the concentrating effect of the concentrator 33 and the light guiding effect of the light guide 32, the loss of light is small when it is transmitted in the receiving lamp 100, that is, the intensity of the light irradiating the light transmitting mirror 10 is enhanced, thereby enhancing the display effect of the receiving lamp 100.

[0037] In addition, the display parameters of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 31 can be display parameters pre-set by the autonomous driving vehicle 200 and the electronic device. In this way, the user of the electronic device (when the user rides on the autonomous driving vehicle 200, the user can be called a passenger, and the electronic device can be called a passenger device) can accurately determine the predetermined autonomous driving vehicle 200 from multiple autonomous driving vehicles 200 through the display parameters of the light, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of determining the predetermined autonomous driving vehicle 200.

[0038] The specific content of the above display parameters is not limited here. For example, the above display parameters may include at least one of the parameters such as light color, display mode and display brightness. The above display mode may include at least one of the modes such as constant light mode, breathing mode, flowing mode, flashing mode and marquee mode.

[0039] In addition, the pre-setting method of the above-mentioned display parameters between the autonomous driving vehicle 200 and the electronic device is not limited here. For example, the autonomous driving vehicle 200 can set the display parameters and then send the display parameters to the electronic device; or, the autonomous driving vehicle 200 receives the display parameters sent by the electronic device and controls the pick-up light 100 to display the above-mentioned display parameters.

[0040] It should be noted that the specific structure of the light-emitting device 31 is not limited here. For example, the light-emitting device 31 may be a light-emitting diode (LED), and the LED may be a red, green, and blue light-emitting diode.

[0041] Also, see Figure 1 A printed circuit board 12 may be disposed within the housing cavity 11. A drive circuit may be disposed on the printed circuit board 12. The light-emitting device 31 may be disposed on the printed circuit board 12. The drive circuit may be electrically connected to the light-emitting device 31 to drive the light-emitting device 31. The printed circuit board 12 may also be electrically connected to a controller 14 of the autonomous driving vehicle 200 via a wiring harness assembly 13. In this way, the wiring harness assembly 13 may transmit control signals, thereby enabling the controller 14 to more conveniently control the display parameters of the light-emitting device 31.

[0042] For example: See Figure 1 A wire threading hole 21 may also be provided on the shell 20, and the wiring harness assembly 13 may be passed through the wire threading hole 21. At the same time, a sealing plug 22 may be provided in the wire threading hole 21. In this way, the wiring harness assembly 13 may pass through the shell 20, and at the same time, the sealing performance of the accommodating cavity 11 may be enhanced by providing the sealing plug 22, as well as the waterproof and dustproof performance of the receiving lamp 100.

[0043] Also, see Figure 1 A plurality of mounting posts 40 may be further provided on the inner wall of the housing 20 , and the light guide 32 and the printed circuit board 12 may be fixed on the plurality of mounting posts 40 , thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the light guide 32 and the printed circuit board 12 .

[0044] As an optional embodiment, the light guide 32 is an optically thick-walled member. This thick-walled member transmits, collimates, diffuses, and reflects light emitted by the optical device, thereby enhancing the transmission performance of light within the thick-walled member, resulting in a better display effect for light transmitted through the light guide 32. Furthermore, since the light guide 32 is an optically thick-walled member, which has a higher optical utilization rate than light-guiding silicone, the reception light 100 in this embodiment utilizes fewer optical components while maintaining the same luminous brightness, thereby reducing costs.

[0045] It should be noted that the above-mentioned optical thick-walled part can also be called an optical thick-walled structure or thick wall.

[0046] The connection method between the housing 20 and the light-transmitting mirror 10 is not limited here. For example, the housing 20 and the light-transmitting mirror 10 can be connected by snap connection or gluing.

[0047] As an optional implementation, see Figure 1The shell 20 may be provided with welding ribs 23. In this way, when the light transmissive mirror 10 is connected to the shell 20, the welding ribs 23 may be heated and welded so that the welding ribs 23 are fixedly connected to the light transmissive mirror 10. When the welding ribs 23 cool down, the light transmissive mirror 10 and the shell 20 are connected. This makes the connection efficiency of the light transmissive mirror 10 and the shell 20 higher, reduces the difficulty of assembly, and at the same time makes the connection strength of the light transmissive mirror 10 and the shell 20 better.

[0048] It should be noted that the light-transmitting mirror 10 and the shell 20 are connected by the welding ribs 23, which can also enhance the waterproof and dustproof performance of the accommodating cavity 11 formed by the light-transmitting mirror 10 and the shell 20, and at the same time, enhance the sealing performance between the light-transmitting mirror 10 and the shell 20.

[0049] In addition, when welding the welding rib 23 , the welding process used may include at least one of laser welding, vibration friction welding, hot plate welding, ultrasonic welding, and the like.

[0050] It should be noted that the light-transmitting mirror 10 can also be called a light-distributing mirror. As an optional embodiment, see Figure 1 The light-transmitting mirror 10 includes a receiving groove 101, which is connected to the receiving cavity 11. The first end of the light guide 32 is inserted into the receiving groove 101, and the light-emitting surface is arranged on the end surface of the first end of the light guide 32. The second end of the light guide 32 is located in the receiving cavity 11.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the light-transmitting mirror 10 includes the accommodating groove 101, and the first end of the light guide 32 is arranged in the accommodating groove 101, the length of the light guide 32 is extended, thereby further enhancing the light guiding effect of the light emitted by the light-emitting device 31; at the same time, the light guide 32 can also have an adjustment effect on the above-mentioned light. By extending the length of the light guide 32, the light can be adjusted so that the light can be reflected or refracted in the light guide 32 to adjust the emission direction and angle of the light.

[0052] It should be noted that the specific shape of the cross section of the accommodating groove 101 is not limited here. For example, the cross section of the accommodating groove 101 may be rectangular.

[0053] In addition, a coating may be sprayed on the outer surface of the light-transmitting mirror 10, so as to enhance the waterproof and dustproof performance of the light-transmitting mirror 10 and enhance the sun protection performance of the light-transmitting mirror 10. The coating may be an ultraviolet ray (UV) coating.

[0054] As an optional implementation, see Figure 1The accommodating groove 101 includes a first position and a second position. The distance between the first position and the accommodating cavity 11 is smaller than the distance between the second position and the accommodating cavity 11. Along the direction from the first position to the second position, the inner diameter of the accommodating groove 101 gradually decreases.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the inner diameter of the accommodating groove 101 gradually decreases along the direction from the first position to the second position, the inner diameter of the accommodating groove 101 gradually decreases, so that most of the light in the light guide 32 is transmitted out of the light transmitting mirror 10 in the direction from the second end to the first end of the light guide 32 or in a direction adjacent to the above direction, and the user can receive most of the light in the direction from the second end to the first end of the light guide 32, thereby further enhancing the display effect of the reception light 100.

[0056] It should be noted that, since the inner diameter of the accommodating groove 101 gradually decreases along the direction from the first position to the second position, the cross-sectional shape of the accommodating groove 101 in this embodiment can also be understood as a wedge shape.

[0057] Based on the above embodiment, as an optional embodiment, the inner diameter of the portion of the light guide 32 in the accommodating groove 101 is also gradually reduced, so that when the light is transmitted in the light guide 32, the light gradually gathers, and the light transmitted through the light emitting surface is more concentrated, reducing the occurrence of the phenomenon that the light transmitted through the light emitting surface is more divergent, that is, the light gathering effect is enhanced, and the display effect of the pick-up light 100 is further enhanced.

[0058] As another optional implementation, the inner diameters of various positions inside the light guide 32 may be equal, that is, the light guide 32 may be a rectangular light guide. This reduces the difficulty of processing the light guide 32 and saves processing costs.

[0059] It should be noted that the specific structure of the concentrator 33 is not limited here. As an optional implementation, the inner diameters of various positions inside the concentrator 33 are equal, that is, the concentrator 33 can be a rectangular concentrator. In this way, the processing difficulty of the concentrator 33 can be reduced and the cost of use can be reduced.

[0060] As another optional embodiment, the inner diameter of the concentrator 33 gradually increases along the direction from the light emitting device 31 to the light guide 32 .

[0061] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the volume of the concentrator 33 can be reduced. In addition, the concentrator 33 can have a diffusing effect while concentrating the light, so that the light can be diffused in multiple directions within the light guide 32, and the light emission direction and angle can be adjusted by reflecting the light diffused in multiple directions inside the light guide 32 to increase the amount of light transmitted from the light emitting surface.

[0062] It should be noted that the number of the light emitting devices 31 and the light concentrators 33 is not limited here. For example, the number of the light emitting device 31 and the light concentrator 33 can both be one.

[0063] As an optional implementation manner, there are multiple light emitting devices 31 and multiple light concentrators 33, and the light emitting devices 31 and the light concentrators 33 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since there are multiple light-emitting devices 31, the display parameters of the light emitted by the multiple light-emitting devices 31 can be the same or different, thereby combining to form light with multiple display parameters, thereby enhancing the diversity and flexibility of the display parameters of the pick-up light 100, and further reducing the occurrence of the phenomenon that the display parameters of the pick-up light 100 are misidentified.

[0065] For example, if the number of concentrators 33 and light-emitting devices 31 is eight, and the light-emitting devices 31 are red, green, and blue LEDs, the light 100 can change colors according to the control signal. When the color is blue-green, the light 100 can function as an adaptive damping system (ADS) marker light. Furthermore, the light-emitting devices 31 can be controlled to display at two different brightness levels, allowing for daytime and nighttime displays.

[0066] In addition, since there are multiple concentrators 33 and the concentrators 33 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the light emitting devices 31, it is ensured that the propagation loss of the light emitted by each light emitting device 31 inside the receiving lamp 100 is small.

[0067] As an optional implementation, see Figure 1 The light-emitting surface of the light guide 32 is further provided with an optical pattern structure 34. This allows light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the light guide 32 to present a specific optical pattern after passing through the optical pattern structure 34, thereby further reducing the possibility of the light emitted by the light emitting lamp 100 being misidentified. This enhances the uniqueness of the light emitted by the light emitting lamp 100 and further improves the display effect of the light emitting lamp 100.

[0068] As an optional implementation, see Figure 1The housing 20 is provided with an air vent 24 , and a breathable membrane 25 is provided in the air vent 24 for only gas to pass through.

[0069] In this way, the accommodating cavity 11 can exchange air with the external environment through the above-mentioned air holes 24 and the air-permeable membrane 25. The heat generated by the light emitted by the light-emitting device 31 can be carried to the external environment through the flow of air, reducing the safety problems caused by the accumulation of heat inside the accommodating cavity 11, thereby enhancing the safety performance of the receiving lamp 100.

[0070] In addition, since the breathable membrane 25 is only for gas to pass through, the waterproof and dustproof performance of the reception lamp 100 is further enhanced, and the sealing performance of the accommodating cavity 11 is further enhanced.

[0071] It should be noted that the combination of the vent holes 24 and the vent membrane 25 may be referred to as a vent assembly.

[0072] It should be noted that the pick-up light 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be set on the autonomous driving vehicle 200, for example: Figure 2 The welcoming lights 100 can be set on the roof of the autonomous driving vehicle 200, and multiple lights can be set and set in different directions, so that passengers can accurately identify the welcoming lights 100 in multiple directions. Alternatively, the welcoming lights 100 can be integrated into the front and rear light assemblies of the autonomous driving vehicle 200, thereby reducing the space occupied by the welcoming lights 100 and enhancing the aesthetics of the autonomous driving vehicle 200.

[0073] See also Figure 2 The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an autonomous driving vehicle 200, including the above-mentioned welcoming light 100. Since the autonomous driving vehicle 200 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the welcoming light 100 in the above-mentioned embodiment, it has the same beneficial technical effects as the welcoming light 100 in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the specific structure of the welcoming light 100 can be referred to the corresponding description in the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0074] As an optional implementation, see Figure 2 The autonomous driving vehicle 200 further includes a roof 201 , and there are multiple welcoming lights 100 . The multiple welcoming lights 100 are all located on the roof 201 , and the directions of the multiple welcoming lights 100 are different.

[0075] The display parameters of each welcoming light 100 may be the same, and each welcoming light 100 may display specific display parameters.

[0076] In this way, the user can accurately and quickly identify the pick-up light 100 through specific display parameters in multiple directions, thereby improving the efficiency of determining the autonomous driving vehicle 200.

[0077] As an optional implementation, the display parameters of the pick-up light 100 are display parameters sent by an electronic device, and the electronic device is a passenger device corresponding to the autonomous driving vehicle 200.

[0078] Among them, the passenger device can be understood as an electronic device used by the passenger, and the passenger device corresponding to the autonomous driving vehicle 200 can refer to: an electronic device that transmits information with the autonomous driving vehicle 200, and the transmitted information can be the display parameters of the pick-up light.

[0079] In this way, since the electronic device can send display parameters to the autonomous driving vehicle 200, and the autonomous driving vehicle 200 can control the pick-up light 100 to display the above display parameters, the passenger corresponding to the passenger device can accurately and quickly determine the corresponding autonomous driving vehicle 200, which improves the determination efficiency of the autonomous driving vehicle 200.

[0080] See also Figure 3 The present disclosure also provides a method for controlling a pick-up light, which is applied to an autonomous driving vehicle, wherein the autonomous driving vehicle includes a pick-up light, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0081] Step 301: Obtain a first display parameter, where the first display parameter is a display parameter sent by an electronic device, and the electronic device is a passenger device corresponding to the autonomous driving vehicle.

[0082] As an optional implementation manner, obtaining the first display parameter includes:

[0083] When the autonomous driving vehicle is in a stopped state, acquiring the first display parameter;

[0084] The method further comprises:

[0085] When the autonomous driving vehicle is in an autonomous driving state, obtaining a third display parameter;

[0086] The display of the reception light is controlled according to the third display parameter.

[0087] In the disclosed embodiment, the third display parameter is different from the first display parameter. Thus, the difference in the display parameters of the approaching lights can be used to distinguish the status of the autonomous driving vehicle, thereby reducing the occurrence of the phenomenon of the autonomous driving vehicle being misjudged.

[0088] It should be noted that the third display parameter may correspond to the display parameter of the ADS marker light. For example, the color corresponding to the third display parameter may be blue-green, and the display mode may be a constant light mode.

[0089] The transmission method of the first display parameter between the electronic device and the autonomous driving vehicle is not limited here.

[0090] As an optional embodiment, the electronic device and the autonomous vehicle may be directly connected in communication, and thus the electronic device may directly send the first display parameter to the autonomous vehicle. For example, when the distance between the electronic device and the autonomous vehicle is less than a preset distance, the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the autonomous vehicle and sends the first display parameter to the autonomous vehicle.

[0091] It should be noted that when the distance between the electronic device and the autonomous driving vehicle is less than the preset distance, the electronic device can also first perform authority verification with the autonomous driving vehicle. Only when the authority authentication is passed, the electronic device will establish a communication connection with the autonomous driving vehicle, and the electronic device will send the first display parameter to the autonomous driving vehicle.

[0092] As another optional implementation, the electronic device and the autonomous driving vehicle are respectively connected to a server, and the electronic device first sends the first display parameter to the server, and then the server sends the first display parameter to the autonomous driving vehicle. The above-mentioned server can be a server corresponding to a certain application.

[0093] Step 302: Control the display of the reception light according to the first display parameter.

[0094] In order to more fully illustrate the embodiments of the present disclosure, a specific embodiment is used as an example below:

[0095] At some point in the afternoon on a clear day, a passenger reserves a vehicle (i.e., the aforementioned autonomous vehicle) through an application on a mobile phone (i.e., the aforementioned electronic device or passenger device), and customizes the color of the pick-up light (i.e., the pick-up light on the autonomous vehicle) to be blue and in a breathing lighting mode (i.e., the first display parameter). At this time, when the vehicle reserved by the electronic device is statically picked up at the reserved pick-up point, the multiple pick-up lights on the roof will light up in high brightness, blue, and with a breathing effect, allowing the passenger to easily identify the reserved vehicle regardless of its position. When the passenger takes a seat and begins the journey, and the vehicle is in autonomous driving mode, the pick-up light will light up in a highly bright, blue-green, and constantly lit state (i.e., the third display parameter). Alternatively, when the vehicle is in a non-autonomous driving mode and has not received the first display parameter sent by the electronic device, the pick-up light will go out until the next operating condition that meets the lighting requirements (this operating condition can be understood as the condition when the vehicle is in a non-autonomous driving mode and has received the first display parameter sent by the electronic device).

[0096] As an optional implementation, the autonomous driving vehicle further includes an ambient light sensor, and the method further includes:

[0097] receiving ambient light information detected by the ambient light sensor;

[0098] The controlling the display of the reception light according to the first display parameter includes:

[0099] The display of the reception light is controlled according to the first display parameter and the ambient light information.

[0100] Among them, the ambient light information may refer to the ambient light information of the environment in which the autonomous driving vehicle is currently located. For example, the ambient light information may include ambient brightness information and whether there are other light sources in the environment.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the display of the pick-up light is controlled according to the first display parameter and the ambient light information, the display parameters of the pick-up light can be made more in line with the current environment, thereby reducing the occurrence of light pollution to the environment due to excessively high display brightness, or reducing the occurrence of the phenomenon that the user cannot accurately identify the pick-up light due to excessively low display brightness.

[0102] It should be noted that, see Figure 4 The controller in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be referred to as a body control module (BCM) 405, and the ambient light sensor 407 is electrically connected to the BCM 405, and the BCM 405 and the pick-up light 406 may be electrically connected via a local interconnect network (LIN) bus. An application may be provided on the electronic device 401, and the electronic device 401 may be communicatively connected to the server 402. The server 402 may be connected to the controller via a telematics box (T-BOX) 403 and a gateway 404. The BCM 405 may obtain status information of the autonomous driving vehicle through the gateway 404. The above status information may be used to indicate whether the autonomous driving vehicle is in an autonomous driving state or a non-autonomous driving state. For example, when the status information is the autonomous driving signal 408, it indicates that the autonomous driving vehicle is in an autonomous driving state.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, through steps 301 to 302, since the first display parameter is a display parameter sent by the electronic device, the autonomous driving vehicle can control the display of the pick-up light according to the first display parameter, so that the passenger corresponding to the electronic device can accurately identify the pick-up light and the autonomous driving vehicle corresponding to the pick-up light, thereby improving the determination efficiency and accuracy of the autonomous driving vehicle.

[0104] See also Figure 4 The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an autonomous driving vehicle, which includes a pick-up light 406 and a controller. The controller can be Figure 4 BCM405 in:
