[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the present application can be combined arbitrarily with each other.

[0040] Currently, there are very few ambient lights arranged in the top area of the vehicle interior. The forms are single, and they do not achieve a strong environmental rendering effect or require a high cost to achieve.

[0041] As Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, including: a ceiling device 1, a perimeter ambient light 2, and a pattern ambient light 3.

[0042] Among them, the ceiling device 1 is provided with an ambient light area 13. The perimeter ambient light 2 is installed on the ceiling device 1 and is arranged along the circumference of the ambient light area 13, and is set to make the edge area of the ambient light area 13 show a lighting effect. The pattern ambient light 3 is installed on the ceiling device 1 and is located inside the perimeter ambient light 2, and is set to make the middle part of the ambient light area 13 show a pattern lighting effect.

[0043] In the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present application, the perimeter ambient light 2 and the pattern ambient light 3 are installed on the ceiling device 1, and the ambient light area 13 is correspondingly set on the ceiling device 1. In this way, the roof area of the vehicle can not only show the overall lighting effect of the perimeter on the edge area of the ambient light area 13 of the ceiling device 1, but also show the pattern lighting effect in the middle part of the ambient light area 13. This greatly enriches the form of the ambient lights in the roof area, achieves a strong environmental rendering effect, breaks through the ordinary, greatly increases the coverage area of the ambient lights in the roof area, effectively improves the ambient light effect in the vehicle, and enhances the long-term competitiveness of the vehicle.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the ceiling device 1 includes: a ceiling bracket 11 and a covering member 12, as Figure 3 shown. The perimeter ambient light 2 and the pattern ambient light 3 are installed on the ceiling bracket 11. The covering member 12 is connected to the ceiling bracket 11. The covering member 12 is set as a light-transmitting member at least corresponding to the position of the ambient light area 13.

[0045] Among them, the vehicle further includes a sun visor 4. The sun visor 4 is provided with a pattern light-transmitting area. The pattern light-transmitting area allows the light emitted by the pattern ambient light 3 to pass through, so that the middle part of the pattern light-transmitting area shows a pattern lighting effect.

[0046] The ceiling device 1 includes a ceiling bracket 11 and a covering member 12. The ceiling bracket 11 is the main load-bearing component of the ceiling device 1. Therefore, installing the perimeter ambient light 2 and the pattern ambient light 3 on the ceiling bracket 11 can ensure the stability and reliability of the perimeter ambient light 2 and the pattern ambient light 3. The ceiling bracket 11 can be a plastic bracket.

[0047] The covering member 12 is a fabric wrapped around the ceiling bracket 11, which can wrap the ceiling bracket 11 to prevent it from being exposed, play a decorative role, and also play a sound absorption role or other roles. The position of the covering member 12 corresponding to at least the ambient light area 13 is set as a light-transmitting fabric, which can ensure that the light emitted by the pattern ambient light 3 can pass through the covering member 12 and shine into the passenger compartment, achieving the effect of the ambient light that sets off the environment.

[0048] By providing the sunshade 4 and arranging a pattern light-transmitting area on the sunshade 4, the light emitted by the pattern ambient light 3 can only be emitted through the pattern light-transmitting area, so that the middle part of the pattern light-transmitting area of the ceiling device 1 can display the pattern lighting effect. In this way, by simply setting the shape of the pattern light-transmitting area reasonably, the pattern lighting effect can be achieved without arranging the pattern ambient light 3 in a pattern layout, thus reducing the layout requirements for the pattern ambient light 3 and being beneficial to reducing the production cost.

[0049] Moreover, this solution can also customize the pattern light-transmitting area of the sunshade 4 according to the personal preferences of the user, thereby realizing the personalized customization effect of the pattern ambient light 3, which is beneficial to further improving the user experience.

[0050] Among them, the sunshade 4 can be, but is not limited to, a plastic plate.

[0051] In one example, the sunshade 4 includes a light-transmitting plate and a light-shielding film (such as a black film) attached to the light-transmitting plate. The light-shielding film covers a part of the light-transmitting plate, and the part of the light-transmitting plate not covered by the light-shielding film forms the pattern light-transmitting area.

[0052] In other words, the entire light-transmitting plate can be a light-transmitting material, and the light-shielding effect is achieved through the light-shielding film to prevent light from passing through the sunshade 4, allowing part of the light to pass through the pattern light-transmitting area of the sunshade 4, and then forming the pattern lighting effect.

[0053] In another example, the sunshade 4 includes a light-transmitting part and a light-shielding part, and the light-transmitting part forms the pattern light-transmitting area.

[0054] In other words, the light-transmitting part can transmit light, while the light-shielding part cannot transmit light. The light-transmitting part and the light-shielding part are made of different materials, allowing part of the light to pass through the pattern light-transmitting area of the sunshade 4, and then forming the pattern lighting effect.

[0055] In one example, the sunshade 4 is integrally formed with the ceiling bracket 11. This can eliminate the assembly process of the sunshade 4, which is beneficial to simplifying the vehicle assembly process and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0056] In another example, the light shield 4 and the ceiling bracket 11 are of a split structure. This can simplify the structures of the ceiling bracket 11 and the light shield 4 respectively, facilitate the separate molding of the light shield 4 and the ceiling bracket 11, reduce the processing difficulty of the ceiling bracket 11 and the light shield 4, and thus reduce the production cost.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the covering member 12 includes a first covering layer 121 and a second covering layer 122, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown. The first covering layer 121 is arranged to cover the upper surface of the ceiling bracket 11, and the second covering layer 122 is arranged to cover the lower surface of the ceiling bracket 11. The second covering layer 122 is provided with a light-transmitting fabric at the position corresponding to the ambient light area 13.

[0058] The first covering layer 121 can be adhesively connected to the ceiling bracket 11, and the second covering layer 122 can be adhesively connected to the ceiling bracket 11. A part of the first covering layer 121 can extend outward and downward beyond the ceiling bracket 11.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the pattern ambient light 3 includes: a first circuit board 31, a first light-emitting member 32, and a light guide plate 33.

[0060] Wherein, the first light-emitting member 32 is fixed to the first circuit board 31 and is electrically connected to the first circuit board 31. The light guide plate 33 is disposed opposite to the light shield 4 and covers the pattern light-transmitting area, and is configured to emit the light emitted by the first light-emitting member 32 towards the light shield 4.

[0061] The pattern ambient light 3 includes a first circuit board 31, a first light-emitting member 32, and a light guide plate 33. The first circuit board 31 can be electrically connected to the control device, for receiving the instructions issued by the control device, and controlling the opening and closing, working parameters, working modes, etc. of the first light-emitting member 32 according to the instructions. The first light-emitting member 32 is the light source of the pattern ambient light 3, and can emit light rays towards the light guide plate 33. The light guide plate 33 can evenly emit the light towards the light shield 4, realizing the light emission of the entire surface, making the light of the pattern ambient light 3 more uniform and softer, and being beneficial to reducing the number of the first light-emitting members 32 and reducing the production cost.

[0062] The first light-emitting member 32 can be an LED lamp.

[0063] In an example, as Figure 7 shown, the number of the first circuit boards 31 is multiple, and the number of the first light-emitting members 32 is multiple. This is beneficial to improving the display effect of the pattern ambient light 3.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, the first circuit board 31 and the light guide plate 33 are clamped to the ceiling bracket 11.

[0065] The first circuit board 31 is installed on the ceiling bracket 11 in a snap - fit manner. Compared with assembly methods such as screw connection and welding, it is beneficial to reduce the assembly difficulty between the first circuit board 31 and the ceiling bracket 11, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and reducing the production cost.

[0066] Similarly, the light guide plate 33 is installed on the ceiling bracket 11 in a snap - fit manner. Compared with assembly methods such as screw connection and welding, it is beneficial to reduce the assembly difficulty between the light guide plate 33 and the ceiling bracket 11, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and reducing the production cost.

[0067] Of course, the connection method between the first circuit board 31 and the ceiling bracket 11, and the connection method between the light guide plate 33 and the ceiling bracket 11 are not limited to the above - mentioned snap - fit method, and can also be other connection methods such as screw connection and welding.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of first light - emitting elements 32 are installed on a first circuit board 31, as Figure 7 shown. The plurality of first light - emitting elements 32 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first circuit board 31. The ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a first buckle 111, as Figure 6 shown. The first buckle 111 is provided with a first card slot 1114, and the first circuit board 31 is snap - fitted into the first card slot 1114, and the first light - emitting element 32 is located at the notch of the first card slot 1114. The ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a second buckle 112, as Figure 6 shown, and the light guide plate 33 is snap - fitted to the ceiling bracket 11 through the second buckle 112.

[0069] Installing a plurality of first light - emitting elements 32 on a first circuit board 31 can form the form of a light strip, which is beneficial to realizing the modular installation of the pattern atmosphere lamp 3, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty, improving the assembly efficiency, and reducing the production cost.

[0070] The ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a first buckle 111, and the first buckle 111 forms a first card slot 1114. During assembly, the first circuit board 31 is directly snapped into the first card slot 1114, and the first buckle 111 can restrict the first circuit board 31 from disengaging from the first card slot 1114, realizing the snap - fit fixation of the first circuit board 31. The first light - emitting element 32 on the first circuit board 31 is located at the notch of the first card slot 1114 and can emit light outward without being blocked by the first buckle 111.

[0071] The ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a second buckle 112. During assembly, the light guide plate 33 can be directly snap - fitted to the ceiling bracket 11 by using the second buckle 112, and the assembly process is simple and convenient.

[0072] In one example, the number of the first buckles 111 is multiple, and the multiple first buckles 111 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first circuit board 31. During assembly, the first circuit board 31 is snapped into the corresponding multiple first card slots 1114 one by one, and multiple parts of the first circuit board 31 can be snap-fixed, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the pattern atmosphere lamp 3.

[0073] In one example, as Figure 6 shown, the first buckle 111 includes a bottom buckle part 1111, a support part 1112 and a top buckle part 1113. The bottom buckle part 1111, the support part 1112 and the top buckle part 1113 are connected in sequence and enclose a first card slot 1114. The bottom buckle part 1111 and the top buckle part 1113 are arranged oppositely, and both the bottom buckle part 1111 and the top buckle part 1113 are provided with a stop projection 1115 for restricting the first circuit board 31 from disengaging from the first card slot 1114 at the slot opening of the first card slot 1114, and the stop projection 1115 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 1116 for guiding the first circuit board 31 into the first card slot 1114. The support part 1112 abuts against the surface of the first circuit board 31 facing away from the first light-emitting part 32.

[0074] In one example, the ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a support projection (not shown in the figure), and the surface of the light guide plate 33 facing the ceiling bracket 11 (i.e., the lower surface of the light guide plate 33) abuts against the support projection. The second buckle 112 includes a connecting part 1121 and a limiting projection 1122. The connecting part 1121 is connected to the ceiling bracket 11 and extends along the thickness direction of the light guide plate 33. The limiting projection 1122 is connected to the connecting part 1121 and abuts against the surface of the light guide plate 33 facing away from the ceiling bracket 11 (i.e., the upper surface of the light guide plate 33), which is equivalent to clamping and fixing the light guide plate 33 between the support projection and the limiting projection 1122.

[0075] The number of the second buckles 112 is multiple, and the multiple second buckles 112 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the light guide plate 33 to fix multiple parts in the circumferential direction of the light guide plate 33 to ensure the stability and reliability of the light guide plate 33.

[0076] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, the number of the first circuit boards 31 is two, and the two first circuit boards 31 are respectively arranged on both sides in the width direction of the light guide plate 33. The second buckles 112 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of second buckles 112 are respectively arranged on both sides in the length direction of the light guide plate 33 to fix the light guide plate 33.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the circumferential atmosphere lamp 2 includes: a second circuit board 21, a second light-emitting part 22 and a light guide strip 23.

[0078] Among them, the second light-emitting component 22 is fixed to the second circuit board 21 and is electrically connected to the second circuit board 21. The light guide bar 23 extends along the circumference of the atmosphere light area 13, and one end of the light guide bar 23 is disposed opposite to the second light-emitting component 22, and is configured to emit the light emitted by the second light-emitting component 22 to the edge area of the atmosphere light area 13.

[0079] The circumferential atmosphere light 2 includes a second circuit board 21, a second light-emitting component 22, and a light guide bar 23. The second circuit board 21 can be electrically connected to the control device, and is configured to receive an instruction from the control device and control the opening and closing, operating parameters, operating modes, etc. of the second light-emitting component 22 according to the instruction. The second light-emitting component 22 is a light source of the circumferential atmosphere light 2 and can emit light to the light guide bar 23. The light guide bar 23 can guide the light emitted by the second light-emitting component 22 to the edge area of the atmosphere light area 13, so that the edge area of the atmosphere light area 13 realizes a light-emitting effect.

[0080] The second light-emitting component 22 can be an LED lamp.

[0081] In an exemplary embodiment, the ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a third buckle (not shown in the figure), and the second circuit board 21 is snap-fitted to the ceiling bracket 11 through the third buckle. The ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a fourth buckle 116, as Figure 4 shown. The light guide bar 23 is snap-fitted to the ceiling bracket 11 through the fourth buckle 116.

[0082] The ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a third buckle. During assembly, the second circuit board 21 can be directly snap-connected to the ceiling bracket 11 by using the third buckle, and the assembly process is simple and convenient. The shape and fixing principle of the third buckle can refer to the first buckle 111, and will not be elaborated here.

[0083] The ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a fourth buckle 116. During assembly, the light guide plate 33 can be directly snap-connected to the ceiling bracket 11 by using the fourth buckle 116, and the assembly process is simple and convenient. The shape and fixing principle of the fourth buckle 116 can refer to the first buckle 111 or the second buckle 112, and will not be elaborated here.

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, the number of the circumferential atmosphere lights 2 is multiple, as Figure 5 shown. The multiple circumferential atmosphere lights 2 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the atmosphere light area 13.

[0085] Since the circumferential dimension of the ceiling device 1 is relatively large, the dimension of the atmosphere light area 13 can also be designed as large as possible, so that the circumferential dimension of the atmosphere light area 13 is also relatively large. Therefore, designing the circumferential atmosphere lights 2 as multiple is not only convenient for installation, but also can make the edge area of the atmosphere light area 13 display a complete circle of light-emitting effect, which is beneficial to improving the display effect of the circumferential atmosphere lights 2.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the light guide bar 23 includes a light incident section 231 and a light exit section 232. One end of the light incident section 231 is disposed opposite to the second light emitting member 22, and the other end of the light incident section 231 is connected to the light exit section 232 and is bent relative to the light exit section 232. The light exit section 232 is disposed at intervals along the circumference of the atmosphere lamp area 13, and the light incident section 231, the second light emitting member 22, and the second circuit board 21 are located inside the light exit section 232.

[0087] Compared with the solution of directly arranging the second light emitting member 22 and the second circuit board 21 at the edge area of the atmosphere lamp area 13 as well, in this solution, the positions of the second light emitting member 22 and the second circuit board 21 are moved towards the direction close to the pattern atmosphere lamp 3, so as to avoid weak or even no light at the positions between adjacent circumferential atmosphere lamps 2, which is beneficial to achieving a full-circle light emitting effect at the edge area of the atmosphere lamp area 13 and is beneficial to improving the light uniformity and display effect of the circumferential atmosphere lamp 2.

[0088] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the covering member 12 is provided with a light guide space 14 with an opening facing downwards. At least a part of the light guide bar 23 is located in the light guide space 14. A part of the surface of the covering member 12 located in the light guide space 14 forms a reflecting surface 15, and the light guide bar 23 is arranged to direct the light emitted by the second light emitting member 22 towards the reflecting surface 15. Figure 4 The dotted line in

[0089] The covering member 12 is provided with a light guide space 14 with an opening facing downwards. The light guide space 14 can be formed by the cooperation of the first covering layer 121 and the second covering layer 122. For example: a part of the first covering layer 121 extends obliquely downwards and outwards, and a part of the ceiling bracket 11 is located in this area. The second covering layer 122 includes the part of the bottom of the ceiling bracket 11 located in this area and the part of the above-mentioned first covering layer 121 to form the above-mentioned light guide space 14. And at least a part (such as the light exit section 232) of the light guide bar 23 is located in the light guide space 14 and is fixed on the ceiling bracket 11 in this area, and can direct the light towards the reflecting surface 15. The light directed towards the reflecting surface 15 can be reflected again and then enter the passenger compartment through the lower outlet of the light guide space 14. In this way, the light effect after multiple reflections is softer and more uniform, which is beneficial to further improving the display effect of the circumferential atmosphere lamp 2.

[0090] The ceiling bracket 11 can be provided with an extension arm 115 in the light guide space 14, as Figure 4 shown. The free end of the extension arm 115 is provided with a fourth buckle 116 for clamping and fixing the light guide bar 23.

[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle further includes: a roof sheet metal 5 and a keel bracket 6, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the keel bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the roof sheet metal 5, and the ceiling device 1 is clamped on the keel bracket 6.

[0092] In this solution, a keel bracket 6 is added to the roof sheet metal 5. The keel bracket 6 is used to fix the ceiling device 1, realizing the snap-fit assembly of the ceiling device 1, which is beneficial to simplifying the vehicle assembly process and thus improving the assembly efficiency.

[0093] During assembly, the peripheral ambient light 2 and the pattern ambient light 3 can be first installed on the ceiling device 1, and then the ceiling device 1 can be snap-fitted onto the keel bracket 6.

[0094] The keel bracket 6 can be a light steel keel bracket 6, which is beneficial to reducing the vehicle body weight. The keel bracket 6 can be fixedly connected to the roof sheet metal 5 by means of screws, welding, etc. Of course, the keel bracket 6 can also be integrally formed with the roof sheet metal 5.

[0095] For the aforementioned solution where the sunshade 4 and the ceiling bracket 11 are separately formed, the sunshade 4 can be fixed to the keel bracket 6 by screws.

[0096] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the ceiling device 1 is clamped on the keel bracket 6 through the mounting buckle 7. The ceiling device 1 is provided with a first card hole 113, and the keel bracket 6 is provided with a second card hole 61. One end of the mounting buckle 7 is clamped in the first card hole 113, and the other end of the mounting buckle 7 is clamped in the second card hole 61. The first card hole 113 is provided on the ceiling bracket 11 of the ceiling device 1.

[0097] In this way, during the assembly process, the peripheral ambient light 2 and the pattern ambient light 3 can be first installed on the ceiling device 1, and then one end of the mounting buckle 7 corresponding to the ceiling bracket 11 is inserted into the first card hole 113, so that the mounting buckle 7 is snap-fitted with the ceiling bracket 11. Then, the end of the mounting buckle 7 corresponding to the keel bracket 6 is inserted into the second card hole 61, so that the mounting buckle 7 is snap-fitted with the keel bracket 6. In this way, the snap-fit assembly of the ceiling assembly and the keel bracket 6 can be realized. The entire assembly process is simple and convenient, with low cost, and the connection structure between the ceiling assembly and the keel bracket 6 can be hidden, which is beneficial to the aesthetics inside the vehicle.

[0098] In an example, as Figure 3As shown, the ceiling bracket 11 is provided with a connecting protrusion 114, and the first card hole 113 is provided on the connecting protrusion 114. The light guide plate 33 is provided with an avoidance hole 331, and part of the connecting protrusion 114 passes through the avoidance hole 331. One end of the installation buckle 7 corresponding to the ceiling bracket 11 can be set as a tapered clamping part. The installation buckle 7 can include a plurality of elastic arms arranged back to back. One end of the installation buckle 7 corresponding to the keel bracket 6 can be set as an annular clamping part, and the annular clamping part can be set as a double-layer structure. The circumferential dimension of the upper layer is relatively small, which is convenient for smoothly passing through the second card hole 61 and clamping on the keel bracket 6; the dimension of the lower layer is relatively large, which can play a role in assembly positioning and prevent the installation buckle 7 from being over-pressed when installed on the keel bracket 6.

[0099] In one example, the number of the installation buckles 7 is multiple, and the multiple installation buckles 7 are arranged at intervals to ensure the connection reliability between the ceiling device 1 and the keel bracket 6.

[0100] The number of the keel brackets 6 is multiple, and the multiple keel brackets 6 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vehicle roof sheet metal 5. Each keel bracket 6 is clamped and connected to the ceiling device 1 through a plurality of installation buckles 7, and the multiple installation buckles 7 connected to each keel bracket 6 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the vehicle roof sheet metal 5.

[0101] Of course, the number and distribution form of the keel brackets 6 are not limited to this, and the number and distribution form of the installation buckles 7 are not limited to this either, and can be adjusted according to needs.

[0102] In an exemplary embodiment, the vehicle further includes: a control device (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the circumferential atmosphere lamp 2 and the pattern atmosphere lamp 3, and is set to control the opening and closing and display effects of the circumferential atmosphere lamp 2 and the pattern atmosphere lamp 3.

[0103] In this way, the user can control the opening and closing and display effects of the circumferential atmosphere lamp 2 and the pattern atmosphere lamp 3 through the control device, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0104] The control device can be an in-vehicle computer or an independent control device.

[0105] In an exemplary embodiment, the control device includes a touch screen (not shown in the figure), and the touch screen is set to control the opening and closing of the circumferential atmosphere lamp 2 and the pattern atmosphere lamp 3.

[0106] The touch screen is further set to: control at least one of the working parameters and working modes of the circumferential atmosphere lamp 2; and / or, control at least one of the working parameters and working modes of the pattern atmosphere lamp 3.

[0107] In other words, the opening and closing of both the circumferential atmosphere lamp 2 and the pattern atmosphere lamp 3 can be controlled by the touch screen.

[0108] The working parameters of the ambient atmosphere light 2 can be adjusted while the working mode cannot be adjusted. Alternatively, the working mode of the ambient atmosphere light 2 can be adjusted while the working parameters cannot be adjusted. Alternatively, both the working parameters and the working mode of the ambient atmosphere light 2 can be adjusted. When the working parameters / working mode of the ambient atmosphere light 2 can be adjusted, the adjustment can be made through the touch screen.

[0109] The working parameters of the pattern atmosphere lamp 3 can be adjusted but the working mode cannot be adjusted. Alternatively, the working mode of the pattern atmosphere lamp 3 can be adjusted but the working parameters cannot be adjusted. Alternatively, both the working parameters and the working mode of the pattern atmosphere lamp 3 can be adjusted. When the working parameters / working mode of the pattern atmosphere lamp 3 can be adjusted, the adjustment can be made through the touch screen.

[0110] In this embodiment, the touch screen is convenient for the user to operate. A control switch can be added to the touch screen to realize the lighting of the ambient light 2 and the pattern light 3 respectively. Parameter setting options and mode selection options can also be added to the touch screen for the user to select the working parameters and working modes of the ambient light 2 / pattern light 3, so as to further improve the user experience.

[0111] In an exemplary embodiment, the working parameters include at least one of the following: brightness, color; the working mode includes at least one of the following: dynamic display mode, static display mode.

[0112] When the working parameters include brightness, the brightness of the ambient light 2 / pattern ambient light 3 can be adjusted. When the working parameters include color, the color of the ambient light 2 / pattern ambient light 3 can be adjusted. This can achieve the adjustment of the brightness / color of the ambient light, further enrich the expression of the ambient light, further improve the market competitiveness of the vehicle, and help to further improve the user experience.

[0113] When the working mode includes a static display mode, the light of the ambient light 2 / pattern ambient light 3 is displayed as a static light effect. When the working mode includes a dynamic display mode, the light of the ambient light 2 / pattern ambient light 3 can display a dynamic light effect, which is more colorful and varied. This further enriches the environmental effect mode of the roof ambient light, further improves the market competitiveness of the vehicle, and is conducive to further improving the user experience.

[0114] The control of brightness and color can be achieved in the following manner: the first light emitting element 32 / the second light emitting element 22 is an RGB LED lamp. The first circuit board 31 of the ambient light 2 / the second circuit board 21 of the pattern ambient light 3 is connected to the connector 8 through a lead wire. The connector 8 is a 3PIN connector 8, including a positive and negative pole and a LIN receiving end. Figure 8It can be known that the three PINs (pins, also called pin feet, and called Pin in English) in the connector 8 are respectively: the power supply terminal 81 for connecting the power supply line, the LIN line terminal 82 for connecting the LIN line (LIN bus is a low-cost serial communication network defined for automotive distributed electronic systems, which is a supplement to other automotive multiplex networks such as the controller area network (CAN), and is suitable for applications with not too high requirements for network bandwidth, performance or fault tolerance functions), and the ground terminal 83 for connecting the ground wire. The color and brightness signals are input through LIN to change functions such as color and brightness. The control settings of functions, color, and brightness are on the touch screen for users to operate and set.

[0115] The host (a component of the control device) sends signals of different colors and brightness through LIN control. After receiving the LIN signal, the RGB LED parses it and analyzes the RGB values and brightness definition values given in the signal to change the color and brightness. The specific functions are the same as those defined in the host.

[0116] The dynamic display effect can be achieved in the following way: Since both the surrounding atmosphere lamp 2 / pattern atmosphere lamp 3 include multiple LED lights, by controlling the lighting time and lighting duration of each or each group of LED lights, the LED lights lit at different times are different, thereby achieving the dynamic display effect.

[0117] In summary, the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present application addresses the difficulties of the single form, high cost, and difficult implementation of the atmosphere lamp on the top of the vehicle. Through improvements in structure and software, it realizes the enrichment of the roof atmosphere lamp effect, adopts a more convenient installation method and implementation method, which is beneficial to reducing the product cost.
