Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp, in particular to a corner lamp with a projection function. In addition, the present invention also relates to a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, the requirements for automobile configuration are getting higher and higher. Corner lights are optional lamps for automobiles, but most cars do not have this function. Even in the national standard GB4785-2007 "Regulations for the Installation of External Lighting and Light Signal Devices for Automobiles and Trailers", there is no relevant description on corner lights. There are also many vehicles that combine corner lights with high and low beam lights in the headlights when meeting the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's automobile regulations, and some use them as single lights alone. In order to meet customer needs, more and more car designers have incorporated corner lights into car configurations. Drivers often encounter the following situation when driving a vehicle: When the vehicle turns, due to the linearity of the light, only the high and low beam illumination area can be seen, and the road conditions in front of the curve are actually difficult to see clearly. Corner lights solve this problem. On the basis of high and low beams, they can compensate for 15° of the illumination area, so that the driver can clearly see the road conditions on the opposite side of the curve, and can avoid traffic accidents caused by blind spots when turning.

[0003] At present, with the rapid development of automobile lighting technology and the rapid development of the automobile lighting industry, while car lights provide convenience and comfort for drivers and passengers, the public's requirements for the intelligence of car lights, external projection, etc. are getting higher and higher. The public's demand for intelligent projection car lights and the practical performance in automobiles are also gradually increasing. However, the corner lights currently used in vehicles cannot meet the public's demand for intelligent projection car lights, and during driving, the car lights cannot warn pedestrians and vehicles around the vehicle, which can easily lead to driving hazards.

[0036] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "setting", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, the term "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] An embodiment of the corner lamp with projection function of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the corner lamp with projection function includes a light source 4, a shading component 3, a driving component 1, a monitoring component 8 and a control component 5, wherein the shading component 3 can form a certain shielding of the emitted light, thereby forming multiple working modes of the corner lamp. The light after shielding can form light-shaped areas of different shapes and sizes. The driving component 1 is transmission-connected to the shading component 3, and the driving component 1 can be a stepping motor. The driving component 1 can drive the shading component 3 to move. When it is not necessary to shield the light emitted by the light source 4, the shading component 3 is not on the emission path of the light, so the light emitted by the light source 4 can be completely emitted, thereby forming a complete light-shaped area. At this time, the corner lamp works as an ordinary light to provide the function of steering auxiliary lighting. When the shading component 3 is needed to block the light emitted by the light source 4, the driving component 1 and the shading component 3 need to cooperate to achieve the blocking of the light. The driving component 1 drives the shading component 3 to move. When the shading component 3 moves to the light emission path, the outgoing light can be blocked. The light after blocking can form light-shaped areas with different shapes.

[0039] In addition, the operation of the driving component 1 needs to be controlled by the control component 5. The control of the driving component 1 by the control component 5 needs to rely on the information measured by the monitoring component 8 for judgment. The monitoring component 8 can be used to monitor the factors affecting the working mode of the corner light. The control component 5 is connected to the monitoring component 8 and the driving component 1 respectively. The control component 5 can provide power to the driving component 1 and can receive the factors affecting the working mode of the corner light measured by the monitoring component 8, so as to control the operation of the driving component 1 according to the information measured by the monitoring component 8. After the monitoring component 8 transmits the measured information to the control component 5, the control component 5 determines that the working mode of the corner light does not need to be adjusted at this time, and does not control the movement of the driving component 1. When the control component 5 determines that the working mode of the corner light needs to be adjusted at this time, it controls the driving component 1 to work, and the driving component 1 drives the shading component 3 to move to the exit path of the light to block it to form different light shape areas. Among them, the working modes of the corner light include ordinary mode corner light and projection mode corner light.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, the shading assembly 3 includes a plurality of shading plates, and the plurality of shading plates are stacked. In this corner lamp, the shading plates include a first shading plate 31 and a second shading plate 32, and a warning mark 33 is provided on the first shading plate 31 and the second shading plate 32. When light passes through the warning mark 33, a warning image can be formed around it to remind and warn people around the vehicle. In addition, the warning mark 33 can be a turn arrow, a hazard warning mark, etc., and can also be Chinese characters, English letters, etc., and the warning mark 33 is set to a red light-transmitting projection material. Except for the area where the warning mark 33 is set on the shading plate, other areas are all opaque materials. Therefore, when light passes through, a red warning image can be formed, thereby improving the recognition of the formed warning image. However, the light-transmitting projection material used by the warning mark 33 is not limited to the red light-transmitting projection material, and its color selection depends on the actual needs of the user and the manufacturer. It should be noted that the number of shading plates is not limited to two shading plates, but three, four or more shading plates may be provided, each of which is provided with a variety of different warning signs 33, so as to enrich the warning image formed by the corner light in the projection mode, thereby producing different warning effects on pedestrians or vehicles around the vehicle.

[0041] More specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the rotating component 2 is connected to the shading component 3. The rotating component 2 is a rack structure, on which a rack-shaped meshing portion is provided, and the meshing portion can mesh with the output end of the driving component 1. Since the driving component 1 adopts a stepping motor as a driving mechanism, the meshing portion of the rotating component 2 is transmission-connected to the output end of the stepping motor. When the stepping motor is working, the rotating component 2 receives the power transmitted by the stepping motor when it is working, and drives the shading component 3 to move through the transmission connection between the two. Therefore, through the cooperation between the stepping motor and the rotating component 2, the use of electronic control chips is reduced, and the difficulty of electronic technology and the manufacturing cost are effectively reduced.

[0042] An embodiment of the corner lamp with projection function of the present invention is as follows Figure 1As shown, it also includes a shell structure 6, and the light source 4 is arranged inside the shell structure 6. The shell structure 6 includes a front light cover and a rear cover. The light source 4 is specifically arranged on the rear cover and is located at the top position of the rear cover. The light source 4 is preferably an LED light source, and can also be set as a direct light-emitting unit such as a MINI LED light source or a Micro LED light source. In order to be able to project the light emitted by the above-mentioned light source 4 to the outside, a reflector assembly 7 is also provided on the shell structure 6. The reflector assembly 7 is arranged on the emission path of the light so as to be able to reflect the light emitted by the light source 4. And a shading assembly 3 is provided between the reflector assembly 7 and the light source 4. Therefore, when the light emitted by the light source 4 passes through the shading plate, the warning image formed is irradiated on the reflector assembly 7 arranged inside the shell structure 6, and then the warning image is projected to the outside through the reflector assembly 7, so as to warn the surrounding pedestrians or vehicles.

[0043] Specifically, the shell structure 6 is also provided with an axial hole for accommodating the movement of the sunshade, and the shape of the axial hole is adapted to the shape of the sunshade. Here, the sunshade is set to a rectangular structure, and therefore the axial hole is set to a square axial hole adapted to the sunshade with a rectangular structure. The sunshade can reciprocate in the square axial hole under the drive of the driving component 1, so as to achieve shielding of the outgoing light. The blocked light can serve as a warning to pedestrians and vehicles around the vehicle.

[0044] An embodiment of the corner lamp with projection function of the present invention is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the monitoring component 8 includes an angle sensor 81, a steering sensor 82 and a light sensor 83. The steering sensor 82 is suitable for measuring the rotation angle information of the steering wheel, the steering sensor 82 is suitable for measuring the steering information of the vehicle, and the light sensor 83 is suitable for measuring the light brightness information outside the corner light. The selection of the corner light working mode needs to be judged according to different situations. When the light sensor 83 detects that the outside world is in "daytime", the light sensor 83 transmits the information that the outside world is in "daytime" to the control component 5. After receiving the information transmitted by the light sensor 83, the control component 5 takes the information that it is in "daytime" as the first priority and uses it as a benchmark. At this time, even after receiving the information transmitted by the angle sensor 81 and the steering sensor 82, the control component 5 does not drive the control component 5 to work, so that the corner light is in normal mode, that is, at this time, the shading component 3 does not block the light emitted by the light source 4 in the corner light. At this time, the corner light acts as a normal light and only provides steering auxiliary lighting function.

[0045] When the light sensor 83 detects that the outside world is in "darkness" at this time, the light sensor 83 transmits the information that the outside world is in "darkness" to the control component 5. At this time, the control component 5 uses the information that the outside world is in "darkness" as a reference. On this basis, the control component 5 immediately receives the steering information and angle information transmitted by the steering sensor 82 and the angle sensor 81. When the steering wheel rotation angle measured by the angle sensor 81 is less than 5° or the vehicle does not generate a steering signal as measured by the steering sensor 82, the driving component 1 is not driven to work at this time, that is, there is no need to drive the shading component 3 to block the light emitted by the light source 4 through the stepper motor; and when the control component 5 receives the steering information sent by the vehicle as measured by the steering sensor 82, or the steering wheel rotation angle measured by the angle sensor 81 is greater than 5°, or when the angle sensor 81 detects that the steering wheel suddenly rotates a large angle within a short period of time, it indicates that the current vehicle is in a sharp turn state. When the control component 5 receives the steering information sent by the vehicle as measured by the steering sensor 82, or the steering wheel rotation angle measured by the angle sensor 81 is greater than 5°, or when the angle sensor 81 detects that the steering wheel suddenly rotates a large angle within a short period of time, it indicates that the current vehicle is in a sharp turn state. When the above-mentioned influencing factors are detected, the control component 5 immediately provides power output to the stepper motor to drive the stepper motor to work. At this time, the output end of the stepper motor rotates to drive the rotating component 2 connected to the shading component 3 to work. Under the driving action of the stepper motor, the rotating component 2 drives the shading component 3 to move into the shell structure 6 through the square shaft hole provided on the shell structure 6. During the movement, the shading plate with different warning marks 33 can be selected to move. For example, when it is detected that the vehicle needs to turn, the shading plate with a "turn arrow mark" can be moved to the inside of the shell structure 6 to remind the surrounding pedestrians or vehicles that the vehicle needs to turn; when it is detected that the vehicle makes a sharp turn, the shading plate with an "exclamation mark mark" can be moved to the inside of the shell structure 6 to remind the surrounding pedestrians and vehicles that the vehicle is in a sharp turn state and it may be dangerous to approach. By adjusting different warning marks 33, different warning effects can be produced for the surrounding pedestrians and vehicles, thereby ensuring driving safety.

[0046] An embodiment of the vehicle of the present invention adopts the corner light with projection function described in any embodiment of the present invention, and by setting a shading component 3 in the shell structure 6 of the corner light, the shading component 3 can block the light emitted by the corner light to form different warning images. In addition, in order to be able to control the working mode of the corner light according to different environments, the working mode of the corner light is controlled by setting a control component 5, and the control component 5 is connected to the vehicle so that the control component 5 can be directly powered by the vehicle, and the control component 5 can receive the influencing factors affecting the working mode of the corner light measured by the monitoring component 8, such as the external light brightness, steering information, and the steering wheel turning angle information, etc. By receiving the above information and controlling the working mode of the corner light according to the above information, the pedestrians or vehicles around the vehicle can be warned by adjusting the working mode of the corner light to achieve the purpose of safe driving.
