Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automotive headlights, and specifically, to a headlight insect repellent system. Background Art
[0002] Due to the characteristics of emitting light and generating heat during operation, headlights will naturally attract insects. Once an insect enters the headlight, it is very difficult for the insect to escape from the headlight because of the complex internal structure of the headlight. If an insect stays in the headlight for a long time, it will cause discomfort to people's senses. In addition, since the headlight is welded or coated with glue during factory production, it is impossible to remove the insect by disassembling the headlight, and the cost of replacing the headlight is relatively high. At present, there is no insect repellent technology in the headlight field. It is often necessary to design the headlight into a completely sealed structure, which has high requirements for space and is also adverse to the heat dissipation inside the headlight.
[0003] The entry of insects into the headlight can be divided into several situations and stages. The first is during the assembly stage after each part of the headlight is produced and assembled into the headlight. The second is during the packaging and transportation of the headlight, etc. In the former case, during the headlight assembly process, if it is found that an insect has entered the headlight, the insect can still be expelled from the headlight by certain means. However, this will increase unnecessary production man-hours and labor costs, and it cannot be guaranteed that the insect will not affect the internal parts, especially precision parts, when staying in the headlight for a long time. In the latter case, during the packaging and transportation processes after the headlight assembly is completed, since the final complete sealing of some headlights is achieved through the assembly of the headlight and the body sheet metal parts, the headlight may be in an incomplete self-sealing state before being installed with the sheet metal parts. At this time, during the packaging and transportation processes, the headlight is not completely sealed. Although the probability of insects entering can be reduced by ensuring the cleaning requirements of the packaging parts and manual inspection, this cannot be guaranteed, and insects may still enter the headlight.
[0004] If insects appear inside the sealed headlight, the sealed headlight can only be scrapped, resulting in waste. If insects appear inside the headlight that has been sealed and installed on the vehicle, the headlight can only be removed and scrapped, resulting in higher resource and economic waste. If insects appear inside the headlight before sealing, although various methods can be used to draw them out of the headlight, there is a problem of detection probability. In many cases, the headlight has not been completely sealed but there are insects inside it. Since the insects are not detected and the headlight is finally sealed, it cannot be fully guaranteed that the insects can be detected and completely removed when the headlight is not completely sealed.
[0005] The above two situations mainly target visible insects, but there is also a third situation. After the vehicle lamp is installed on the whole vehicle and the vehicle runs, insects are found inside the vehicle lamp. The main reason for the insects inside the vehicle lamp at this time is that although the insects that entered the vehicle lamp in the first or second situation above were excluded from the vehicle lamp, they were very likely to lay eggs inside the vehicle lamp. Although the insect removal was completed in the previous insect removal stage, the eggs were not removed. After the vehicle lamp is installed on the whole vehicle, the eggs inside the vehicle lamp gradually grow into insects. At this time, it is easy to visually observe that there are insects inside the vehicle lamp, which affects both the appearance and performance. Moreover, at this time, the vehicle lamp has been installed on the whole vehicle and is in a completely sealed state, making it difficult for the insects to crawl out and difficult to remove through existing technologies.
[0006] In the third situation, although the insects are led out of the vehicle lamp for insect removal, the insects are very likely to lay eggs inside the vehicle lamp. The eggs laid by the insects are extremely difficult to detect. After a period of time, the eggs will grow into insects. At this time, the vehicle lamp is probably completely sealed, or it has been assembled onto the vehicle or even used by the purchaser for some time after purchase. At this time, the insects grown from the eggs are both easy to be discovered by the observer inside the sealed vehicle lamp, and the vehicle lamp must be disassembled and scrapped, resulting in waste. Moreover, the insects will exist in the vehicle lamp for a long time, affecting the functions of the vehicle lamp, especially the lighting and signal and other regulatory requirements functions of the vehicle lamp during operation.

[0106] Example 2:
[0107] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the one-way passing structure 5 includes a moving part 501, a first fixing part 502 and a second fixing part 11. The first fixing part 502 is connected and arranged on the headlight housing 1. One end of the moving part 501 is rotatably arranged on the first fixing part 502. A first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 is connected and arranged at the other end of the moving part 501. One end of the second fixing part 11 is connected and arranged on the headlight housing 1. A second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 is connected and arranged at the other end of the second fixing part 11. One end of the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 abuts against one end of the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 by gravity. The first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 and the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 form a guiding groove structure 18. The abutting end of the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 and the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 forms an insect collection port 1801.
[0108] For insects with mobility, the insects can push the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802, thereby causing the moving part 501 to rotate on the first fixing part 502, making the guiding groove structure 18 in an open state. After the insects enter the insect attracting area, under the action of gravity, the moving part 501 rotates back, driving the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 to rotate back, so that the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 abuts against the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 again; for insects without mobility, the guiding groove structure 18 is arranged in the falling direction of the insects. The insects fall into the guiding groove structure 18 and are collected through the insect collection port 1801. When the fallen insects reach the preset weight, under the action of gravity, they will push open the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802, and the insects in the insect collection port 1801 will fall into the insect attracting area. After the insects fall, under the action of gravity, the moving part 501 rotates back, driving the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 to rotate back, so that the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 abuts against the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 again.
[0109] Example 3:
[0110] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the one-way passing structure 5 includes a first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 and a second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803. One end of the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 is connected and arranged on the headlight housing 1. One end of the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 is connected and arranged on the headlight housing 1. The other end of the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 abuts against the other end of the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803. The first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 and the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 form a guiding groove structure 18. The abutting end of the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 and the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 forms an insect collection port 1801. Both the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 and the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 are elastic structures.
[0111] For mobile insects, the insects can deform the elastic first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 by pushing it, thereby making the guiding groove structure 18 in an open state. After the insects enter the insect guiding area, under the action of the restored elastic force, the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 abuts against the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 again; for immobile insects, the guiding groove structure 18 is arranged in the falling direction of the insects. The insects fall into the guiding groove structure 18 and are collected through the insect collection port 1801. When the weight of the fallen insects reaches a preset value, under the action of gravity, the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 will deform, and the insects in the insect collection port 1801 will fall into the insect guiding area. After the insects fall, under the action of the restored elastic force, the first arc-shaped guiding structure 1802 abuts against the second arc-shaped guiding structure 1803 again.
[0112] Example 4:
[0113] Those skilled in the art can understand this embodiment as a more specific description of Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, and Embodiment 3.
[0114] This embodiment provides a vehicle lamp insect repellent system. The vehicle lamp insect repellent system includes an insect repellent device 3 and an insect guiding device 6. The insect repellent device 3 is arranged near the opening or gap of the vehicle lamp housing and is arranged inside the lamp body. When it works, it continuously outputs an insect repellent sound source around, which can not only drive away the insects outside the lamp to prevent them from approaching the opening or gap of the vehicle lamp housing, and thus as a first guarantee to prevent insects from entering the interior of the vehicle lamp, but also drive the insects that enter the lamp body during non-working hours to the far end position inside the vehicle lamp. The insect guiding device 6 is arranged at the above-mentioned far end position, and an odor component 7 that has an attracting effect on insects is arranged inside it, which can attract the insects inside the vehicle lamp into the insect guiding device 6.
[0115] The insect repellent device 3 is an ultrasonic insect repellent device. The insect guiding device 6 is a one-way passing structure insect guiding device. The insect guiding device 6 is arranged at the position (far end position) far from the insect repellent device, and an odor component 7 that has an attracting effect on insects is arranged inside it.
[0116] The internal space of the vehicle lamp is composed of the vehicle lamp housing and the vehicle lamp outer lens assembled in a sealed manner. The vehicle lamp housing is provided with a one-way passing structure 5. The one-way passing structure 5 is arranged on the side of the vehicle lamp housing close to the insect guiding device 6. The one-way passing structure 5 is arranged between the non-insect guiding area (i.e., non-insect removing area) and the insect guiding area (i.e., insect removing area) of the internal space of the vehicle lamp housing, which not only separates the two but also connects the two, so that once the insects enter the interior of the insect guiding device 6 through the one-way passing structure 5, there is no possibility of returning to the vehicle lamp again.
[0117] The principle of the one-way passage structure 5 is as follows: The one-way passage structure 5 is provided with a moving part 501 and a first fixed part 502. The first fixed part 502 is connected to one side of the headlight housing and is in a fixed and immovable state after assembly. One end of the moving part 501 is connected to the first fixed part 502, and the movable characteristic of the moving part 501 is realized through the hinge point of the one-way passage structure 5. The other end of the moving part 501 is attached to the other side of the headlight housing (the second fixed part 11 on the side where the headlight housing is attached). When an insect comes to the one-way passage structure 5 from the non-insect-attracting area of the internal space of the headlight housing, it can pass through the one-way passage structure 5 in this direction and enter the insect-attracting device 6. That is, the one-way passage structure 5, as Figure 4 shown, will be opened counterclockwise by the insect. After the insect enters the insect-attracting device 6, the one-way passage structure 5 will rotate clockwise again and close due to gravity, isolating the non-insect-attracting area inside the headlight housing and the insect-attracting area of the insect-attracting device.
[0118] On the other hand, when the insect enters the insect-attracting device 6, the one-way passage structure 5 is closed. At this time, the insect cannot open the one-way passage structure 5 again. That is, when the one-way passage structure is in the closed state, due to the fitting setting of the one-way passage structure 5 and the headlight housing, it cannot move and be opened in the clockwise direction, ensuring that the insect cannot return from the insect-attracting device 6 to the non-insect-attracting area of the internal space of the headlight housing.
[0119] The setting of the unidirectional passing structure 5 also has the following features:
[0120] a. The assembly angle between the moving part 501 of the one-way passage structure 5 and the part of the headlight housing it fits with (the second fixed part 11 on the side where the headlight housing is attached) is <90° (such as the included angle formed by the two dotted lines shown in Figure 4 ). If the angle between the two is >90°, due to gravity, the moving part of the one-way passage structure 5 will be in a drooping open state when at rest, unable to isolate the non-insect-attracting area inside the headlight housing and the insect-attracting area of the insect-attracting device 6, and unable to ensure that the insect entering the insect-attracting device 6 will not have the possibility of returning to the non-insect-attracting area inside the headlight. If the angle between the two is =90°, although the moving part 501 of the one-way passage structure 5 still ensures a vertically downward setting, there is no adhesive force between it and the structure on the side of the headlight housing it mates with, which is an unstable fitting or false fitting state. Therefore, the angle between the two is set to <90°;
[0121] b. The edge of the structural part of the second fixed part 11 on the side where the headlight housing is attached, which is close to the moving part 501, is set to have a partially overlapping area with the vertical projection of the moving part 501 in the horizontal direction, so that the moving part can ensure a tight and reliable fitting setting with the fitting side under the action of gravity.
[0122] The setting feature of the one-way passing structure 5 in the first point of the above content is applicable to the application scenario of insect removal before the vehicle lamp is assembled to the body sheet metal, whether it is the insect removal stage during the production line assembly or the insect removal stage after packaging and transportation to the vehicle factory. The setting feature of the one-way passing structure in the first point of the above content is also applicable to the application scenario of insect removal after the vehicle lamp is assembled to the body sheet metal and the vehicle is running on the road surface.
[0123] Furthermore, the preferred assembly angle between the moving part 501 of the one-way passing structure 5 and the vehicle lamp housing part (the second fixing part 11 on the side of the vehicle lamp housing in contact) is preferably set to <60°. This is because there will still be situations where the vehicle is driving downhill. Although when the vehicle and the vehicle lamp are applied to the horizontal driving or parking on the theoretical and ordinary road surfaces, setting the assembly angle between the moving part 501 of the one-way passing structure 5 and the vehicle lamp housing part in contact to <90° can ensure the function and reliability of the one-way passing structure, but when the scenario is that the vehicle is driving downhill, since the reference plane has been adjusted from the horizontal 0° to the downhill angle, therefore, just setting it to <90° may still have the situation where the moving part 501 of the one-way passing structure 5 opens, or the second fixing part 11 on the contact side of the vehicle lamp housing can no longer achieve a tight fit assembly through the gravity of the moving part 501. Considering the road conditions, uphill and downhill road surfaces, and other driving scenarios, the preferred setting of this solution is <60°.
[0124] For the sake of easy understanding, the following is an example for illustration: If the preferred assembly angle between the moving part 501 of the one-way passing structure 5 and the vehicle lamp housing part in contact is set to 70°, when parked or driving on a horizontal road surface, the moving part 501 is tightly attached to the second fixing part 11 on the contact side of the vehicle lamp housing due to gravity, realizing the one-way passing of the insect repellent system's one-way passing structure to introduce insects and preventing the insects that have entered the insect introduction device space from returning to the non-insect introduction device space of the vehicle lamp housing through the one-way passing structure; but when the vehicle comes to a 25° downhill slope during driving, although the 70° assembly angle between the moving part 501 of the one-way passing structure 5 and the vehicle lamp housing part in contact leaves a 20° safety margin, the 25° downhill slope makes the reference plane of the vehicle and its vehicle lamp driving on it become a 25° downhill plane. At this time, as Figure 5 shown, the initial angle β between the moving part 501 and the plumb plane is 5°. Due to gravity, the moving part 501 will rotate counterclockwise to the plumb plane, causing an opening to form between the moving part 501 and the contact side of the vehicle lamp housing, and the insects can return to the non-insect introduction area inside the vehicle lamp housing through this opening, that is, the one-way passing structure 5 loses the function of isolating the non-insect introduction area and the insect introduction area. Therefore, the preferred assembly angle between the moving part 501 of the one-way passing structure 5 and the vehicle lamp housing part in contact is set to <60° to meet the downhill requirements and isolate the insect introduction area and the non-insect introduction area.
[0125] For the above-expanded downhill situation, the principle is the same as that which may occur when the vehicle decelerates. When decelerating, due to the generation of negative acceleration, there will be a gap opening between the one-way passing structure 5 and the second fixing part 11 on the side fitting the headlight housing, losing the isolation function.
[0126] Furthermore, a magnetic attraction device 9 with a magnetic pole is provided at the end of the headlight housing fitting side 11 close to the moving part 501. The magnetic attraction device 9 is connected to the headlight control system by a control line. At the same time, the moving part 501 is preferably made of a metal (such as iron, cobalt, nickel) that can be attracted by a magnet. When the downhill slope is greater than the preset range, such as greater than 30°, the setting that the assembly angle between the moving part 501 of the above-preferred one-way passing structure 5 and the corresponding part of the headlight housing is <60° cannot ensure the isolation between the non-insect-attracting area and the insect-attracting area of the one-way passing structure 5, and there will be a gap between the moving part 501 and the headlight housing fitting side 11. Insects entering the insect attracting device 6 may return to the non-insect-attracting area inside the headlight housing. At this time, the vehicle is equipped with various sensors that can recognize information about the driving road surface or the upcoming driving road surface, including the slope, and can also recognize the vehicle speed and the instantaneous vehicle speed. Taking the slope as an example, when the vehicle sensor recognizes that the downhill slope is greater than the preset assembly angle between the moving part 501 of the headlight one-way passing structure 5 and the corresponding part of the headlight housing, the headlight controller will send a control command to the magnetic attraction device, and the magnetic attraction device will turn on the magnetism to attract the moving part 501 (selecting a metal that can be attracted by a magnet, such as iron, cobalt, nickel material) to closely fit the magnetic attraction device 9, so that even when the downhill angle is greater than the preset value, it can still be ensured that there is no gap between the moving part 501 and the second fixing part 11 on the headlight housing fitting side, and insects will not return to the non-insect-attracting area again, as shown in the attachment. Figure 6 Shown as follows.
[0127] The moving part made of the metal (such as iron, cobalt, nickel) material that can be attracted by a magnet is preferably of a thin thickness to reduce its weight, so that when the magnetic attraction device is turned on, the moving part 501 can be attracted and closely fit to the second fixing part 11 on the headlight housing fitting side, and at the same time, it can be ensured that due to its thin thickness and light weight, insects can open and enter the insect attracting device 6 in the positive direction, and there will be no situation where insects cannot open the one-way passing structure 5 and cannot enter the insect attracting device.
[0128] The moving part 501 can also be made of plastic materials, low-density metal materials, or other low-density material categories, which can better ensure that insects can open and enter the insect attracting device 6 in the forward direction. However, at this time, the moving part 501 itself cannot be attracted by the magnetic attracting device 9 and closely attached to the second fixing part 11 on the lamp housing fitting side. The improvement is that the insect repelling system is also provided with an auxiliary magnetic attracting device 10, which is arranged at the end of the moving part 501 of the one-way passing structure 5 close to the second fixing part 11 on the lamp housing fitting side. As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, when the vehicle sensor recognizes that the downhill slope is greater than the preset assembly angle between the moving part 501 of the one-way passing structure 5 of the headlamp and the second fixing part 11 on the lamp housing fitting side that is in contact with it, the headlamp controller will send a control instruction to the magnetic attracting device 9, and the magnetic attracting device 9 will activate its magnetism. Although the moving part 501 itself is made of materials such as plastic materials and low-density metal materials that cannot be adsorbed by magnets, an auxiliary magnetic attracting device 10 is arranged at the end of the moving part 501 close to the second fixing part 11 on the lamp housing fitting side, which also has magnetism. When the magnetic attracting device 9 receives the control system instruction to activate the magnetic pole, the auxiliary magnetic attracting device 10 will drive the moving part 501 to move close to the second fixing part 11 on the lamp housing fitting side and finally be closely attached to the second fixing part 11 on the lamp housing fitting side due to the attraction between opposite magnetic poles.
[0129] When the above design is adopted, even if the downhill angle is greater than the preset value, it can still ensure that there is no gap between the moving part 501 and the second fixing part 11 on the lamp housing fitting side, and insects will not return to the non-insect attracting area again. More importantly, there are more material categories that the moving part can choose from, not only metals (such as iron, cobalt, nickel) that can be attracted by magnets, but also plastic materials, low-density metal materials, and other low-density material categories. The density of many of these material categories is lower than or far lower than the density of metals (such as iron, cobalt, nickel) that can be attracted by magnets. It can not only ensure that the moving part 501 can be attracted and closely attached to the second fixing part 11 on the lamp housing fitting side when the magnetic attracting device is activated, but also, due to the small weight of the moving part caused by its low-density material, ensure that insects can open and enter the insect attracting device 6 in the forward direction, and there will be no situation where insects cannot open the one-way passing structure 5 and cannot enter the insect attracting device. Moreover, when designing with such materials, it is easier for insects to open the one-way passing structure 5, and the functional reliability is higher.
[0130] The magnetic pole of the auxiliary magnetic attracting device 10 is set to be the opposite magnetic pole of the magnetic attracting device 9 to achieve the attracting function.
[0131] When the moving part 501 is made of a low-density metal material, the most preferred is lithium material, and the density of lithium is 0.534 g / cm 3 , which is less than the density of most plastic materials (such as the density of polycarbonate PC is 1.2 g / cm3 ) It is light in weight and is easily pushed away by insects. At the same time, when the magnetic attraction device 9 and the auxiliary magnetic attraction device 10 are working, the moving part 501 is easily attracted and attached to the second fixing part 11 on the fitting side of the lamp housing.
[0132] That is, the settings of the magnetic attraction device 9 and the auxiliary magnetic attraction device 10 enable the vehicle and its installed lamp to ensure that there is no gap between the moving part 501 and the second fixing part 11 on the fitting side of the lamp housing even when the downhill angle is greater than the preset value when encountering a large-slope downhill section or a rapid deceleration state. Insects will not return to the non-insect attracting area again, ensuring that the one-way passage structure 5 will not be unexpectedly opened due to the slope or deceleration after the insects enter the insect attracting device area.
[0133] The setting position of the auxiliary magnetic attraction device 10 is opposite to the setting position of the magnetic attraction device 9.
[0134] The one-way passage structure 5 can be integrally provided with the lamp housing 1, that is, the first fixing part 502 of the one-way passage structure 5 and the lamp housing 1 are made into one body, or it can be understood that the first fixing part 502 is a part of the lamp housing 1.
[0135] In addition, the one-way passage structure 5 can also be set to be provided with a detector sensor near the position where the moving part 501 realizes opening, to monitor in real time whether there are insects coming nearby and approaching the insect attracting device. The opening and closing of the one-way passage structure 5 are adaptively detected and operated, and when detected, the opening operation of the moving part 501 can be executed.
[0136] The setting of the insect repelling device 3 is as described above, which is set near the opening or gap of the lamp housing and the insect repelling device is arranged inside the lamp body. When it is working, it continuously outputs an insect repelling sound source to the surroundings, which can not only drive away the insects outside the lamp, avoid them approaching the opening or gap of the lamp housing, and thus, as the first guarantee, prevent the insects from entering the inside of the lamp, but also drive the insects that enter the lamp body during non-working hours to the far end position inside the lamp.
[0137] The position of the insect repelling device is preferably set above the inside of the lamp. In this way, it is easier to drive the insects inside the lamp to the vicinity of the one-way passage insect attracting device at the lower part inside the lamp body. This is not only more beneficial for the movement of insects biologically, but also makes the gathering position of the insects be at the lower part of the lamp, which is inconspicuous, easily blocked, and not easily seen by observers, effectively avoiding the danger that the insects gather upward and are easily discovered by observers when the insect repelling device is set at the lower part.
[0138] The following will be specifically elaborated:
[0139] An insect repelling device, that is, an insect repelling sound source, is set at the gap between the lamp housing and its related peripheral components and the outside of the lamp.
[0140] The insect repellent device is arranged near the openings or gaps of the headlight housing, and the insect repellent device is arranged inside the lamp body. When it works, it continuously outputs insect repellent sound sources in all directions, which can not only drive away insects outside the lamp and prevent them from approaching the openings or gaps of the headlight housing, thus serving as a first guarantee to prevent insects from entering the headlight interior, but also drive the insects that enter the lamp body during non-working hours to the far end inside the headlight (i.e., the insect attracting device).
[0141] It is arranged near the openings or gaps of the headlight housing because these areas are most likely to have the possibility of external insects entering the headlight interior through these openings or gaps.
[0142] It is arranged inside the lamp body because such an arrangement can not only ensure the expulsion of external insects from entering the headlight, but also ensure the effective expulsion of insects existing inside the headlight to the insect attracting device. Arranging it inside can also place the insect repellent device in the sealed space inside the headlight, with better performance stability; and for "expelling external insects" and "expelling internal insects", arranging it inside the headlight is the optimal solution. In this way, it can not only effectively drive away insects approaching the gaps and openings of the headlight outside, but also better control, more precisely drive, and more efficiently expel the more demanding and difficult task of driving the insects inside the headlight to the insect attracting device. If it is arranged outside the headlight, although it can drive away insects approaching the gaps and openings of the headlight outside and also has a certain effect on driving the insects inside the headlight, the effect of driving the insects inside the headlight will be greatly reduced due to the separation of the headlight structure. Compared with "internal insect repellent" and "external insect repellent", the precision and control requirements of internal insect repellent are higher. Therefore, the optimal solution is to arrange the insect repellent device inside the headlight;
[0143] The insect repellent device uses an ultrasonic insect repellent device. Ultrasonic waves are sound wave frequencies that have a great repellent effect on insects. The ultrasonic frequency emitted by the insect repellent device is higher than 20,000 hertz. When insects hear this frequency of sound waves, they will stay away.
[0144] The insect repellent device 3 uses a high-frequency sound source. Insects have a strong resistance to high-frequency sound sources. The insect repellent device 3 is arranged near the openings or gaps of the headlight housing and emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves, which can make the insects near the openings or gaps of the headlight housing receive this sound source information and stay away from and avoid the corresponding opening or gap area, thus ensuring that insects do not enter the headlight interior; in addition to the extreme resistance of insects themselves to high-frequency sound sources, high-frequency ultrasonic waves cannot be heard or easily recognized by people. Therefore, whether before the headlight is assembled to the body sheet metal or during the operation stage after being assembled to the body sheet metal, the sound source emitted by the insect repellent device 3 cannot be easily recognized and obtained by people, will not have an impact on people, and also solves the noise problem that the OEM and the majority of car buyers care about.
[0145] The ultrasonic wave emitted by the ultrasonic pest repellent device 3 has strong penetration ability, which ensures the design method of arranging the pest repellent device 3 inside the vehicle lamp. The ultrasonic wave of the pest repellent device can partly directly hit the openings and gaps, and the other part can penetrate the vehicle lamp housing or other vehicle lamp structures to drive the insects near this part closer to the vehicle lamp.
[0146] Further, when the ultrasonic pest repellent device 3 is working, it can also release another kind of sound wave (noise reduction sound wave) at the same time. The sound wave emitted by the noise reduction sound wave can cancel the noise generated when components such as the motor and fan inside the vehicle lamp are working, achieving the purpose of active noise reduction. Specifically, the frequency spectrum of another sound source emitted by the ultrasonic pest repellent device 3 can reversely cancel the frequency spectrum of the noise generated by the motor, fan, and moving mechanism, etc., that is, the frequency spectrum of another sound source emitted by the ultrasonic pest repellent device 3 and the frequency spectrum of the noise generated by the motor, fan, and moving mechanism, etc., have a phase difference of 180°.
[0147] The noise that affects the vehicle lamp caused by the motor, fan, moving mechanism, and even the vehicle body engine, etc., can obtain the average value or the noise value range through experimental measurement. When setting the ultrasonic pest repellent device 3 in this embodiment, for the other noise reduction sound wave it emits, the average value of the above noise can be selected. Even if it is impossible to completely eliminate all kinds of real-time noises in actual vehicles and when the vehicle lamp is working, the noise reduction sound wave it emits can also achieve the maximum degree of eliminating and reducing the size of the noise, which is beneficial for practical applications.
[0148] The number of the pest repellent devices 3 can be multiple. The noise value range is obtained through experimental measurement. During actual use, according to the real-time value of the actual noise, the control system can be used to control whether one, two or more pest repellent devices 3 turn on the noise reduction sound wave. The noise reduction sound waves of each pest repellent device are set to be the same or different. In particular, the selection of different noise reduction sound waves is applicable, and combinations can be made according to the real-time noise during actual use to more effectively eliminate noise.
[0149] The third noise reduction scheme is to set up a real-time noise detector and a control device. The noise detector transmits the real-time noise information to the controller. The controller receives and processes it and outputs it to the pest repellent device 3. The pest repellent device 3 is provided with a noise reduction controller to control the pest repellent device 3 in real time to emit a noise reduction sound wave according to the required value output by the received controller, realizing real-time and completely accurate noise reduction.
[0150] The insect attracting device is arranged at the rear cover of the vehicle lamp and can be: 1. Set the rear cover of the vehicle lamp as the insect attracting device; 2. Part of the structure of the rear cover of the vehicle lamp is set as or provided with the insect attracting device; 3. An insect attracting device is arranged inside the rear cover of the vehicle lamp.
[0151] The reasons and functions for setting the insect attracting device are that after the headlight is coated with glue or welded, and after the headlight is installed on the whole vehicle, for the insects still remaining inside the headlight, the insect attracting device can make them enter this area and subsequent insect removal can be carried out.
[0152] The insect attracting device can also be used before the headlight is coated with glue or welded. Before sealing is completed, the insect attracting device is set so that insects enter the insect attracting device to achieve insect removal.
[0153] As described above, the interior of the insect attracting device is provided with an odor component that has an attracting effect on insects. Such a setting has the highest efficiency and the best effect on attracting insects.
[0154] Another preference for the odor component for attracting insects is that it is easy to replace.
[0155] In addition, the insect attracting device is set at a position corresponding to the insect repelling device, so that after the insect repelling device emits a sound source, the insects inside the headlight will move away from the sound source. The insect attracting device is set in its moving direction, which can improve the reliability of insects entering the insect attracting device; simply put, the insect repelling device is the first level, and the setting position is to drive the insects inside the headlight towards the rear cover. The insect attracting device is another level, which itself attracts the insects towards the rear cover. More importantly, the insect repelling device and the insect attracting device can also have a 1 + 1 effect. The combination of the two enables the insects to accurately and reliably enter the area (rear cover) of the insect attracting device.
[0156] For the above setting of the insect attracting device, it is preferred that the insect attracting device or the rear cover including the insect attracting device is detachable, or some structures are detachable:
[0157] For the first case, if the rear cover of the headlight is set as the insect attracting device, then the rear cover of the headlight is detachable;
[0158] For the second case, if some structures of the rear cover of the headlight are set as or provided with the insect attracting device, then the rear cover structure with the insect attracting device set therein is detachable, or the rear cover provided with the insect attracting device in this part is detachable;
[0159] For the third case, if the insect attracting device is set inside the rear cover of the headlight, then the rear cover of the headlight is detachable.
[0160] When the insect attracting operation is completed and it is desired to take out the device in the area where the insects are collected, the insect attracting device that has collected the insects or the partial area structure of the insect attracting device can be directly taken out to complete the insect removal operation; it can also be that when the insect attracting operation is completed and it is desired to take out the device in the area where the insects are collected, the one-way through structure will perform a closing operation, and then the insect attracting device that has collected the insects or the partial area structure of the insect attracting device is taken out to complete the insect removal operation. At this time, the one-way through structure is closed through the sensors and control devices set thereon, or the one-way through structure 5 is ensured to be closed through the magnetic attraction device 9 and the auxiliary magnetic attraction device 10.
[0161] When the insect attracting device is arranged on the rear cover or the structural part of the rear cover, the insect attracting device is preferably arranged at the rear side position of the rear cover, that is, away from the inner cavity of the vehicle lamp. The number of insect attracting devices can be one, two or more according to the size of the area. When multiple insect attracting devices are arranged, they are spliced.
[0162] After removing the part of the area of the insect attracting device and completing the insect removal operation: Option 1, the structure of the area of the insect attracting device can be assembled and put back into the rear cover again. At this time, the device needs to be cleaned to ensure that there are no insects and insect eggs inside, and it is dry and clean; Option 2, or take another part of the area of the insect attracting device and add it to the rear side area position of the rear cover. The newly added insect attracting device is unused and does not contain insects or insect eggs. Its structure is the same as that of the previously removed insect attracting device and has an installation structure for assembling to the rear cover. The advantage of using a new insect attracting device is that it can prevent the problem that the insects in the vehicle lamp were not completely removed during the previous collection and insect removal, and the possible problem caused by the later hatching of insect eggs into insects, and avoid the recurrence of insects inside the vehicle lamp.
[0163] The insect attracting device can be designed in a standardized, modular and batch production manner, which is convenient for replacement and addition to structures such as the rear cover at any time; if there are still insects inside the vehicle lamp again, the above operations can be repeated until the insects inside the vehicle lamp are removed.
[0164] During the operation after the one-way passage structure 5 is closed, whether the structural part of the area of the insect attracting device is removed or a new insect attracting device is added to the corresponding area structure of the rear cover again, due to the setting of the one-way passage structure 5 and its operation setting when it is closed, it is ensured that the vehicle lamp is sealed and there will be no water leakage or other problems. More importantly, due to the setting of the one-way passage structure 5, it is ensured that no new insects will enter the vehicle lamp during this process.
[0165] A sticky insect device 8 is arranged inside the insect attracting device 6. The sticky insect device has viscosity and can effectively stick the insects entering the insect attracting device, achieving a more effective insect removal effect. The sticky insect device 8 is arranged at the bottom, side and upper part of the insect attracting device 6. It is optimally arranged at the bottom of the insect attracting device 6. An odor component is arranged on the sticky insect device 8 or when the sticky insect device 8 is in the area near the odor component, the sticky insect device 8 is arranged outside the odor component. When removing insects, the sticky insect device 8 can be torn off to complete the insect removal.
[0166] Considering that the insects in the vehicle lamp may not necessarily be alive, there may also be insects that have lost their lives or have completely lost consciousness. Such insects have no ability to fly or crawl independently. Inside the vehicle lamp, they can only fall downward due to gravity. In the insect removal system of the vehicle lamp, it is also necessary to consider avoiding their falling into individual areas or positions and then not continuing to fall downward, and it is necessary to consider the problem that such insects do not have the ability to actively open the one-way passage structure. Therefore, the vehicle lamp insect repellent system is further improved as follows:
[0167] Such asFigure 11 As shown, the vehicle headlight insect repelling system is further provided with an insect guiding groove structure 18, and the insect guiding groove structure 18 is set in a positive V shape or a funnel shape. Thus, insects that have lost their lives or are completely unconscious will inevitably fall onto the insect guiding groove structure 18 due to their own gravity and the bumps, shakes, acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle and the headlights. The positive V shape or funnel shape of the insect guiding groove structure 18 causes the insects that fall onto it to fall down along the two side edges of the outer shape of the insect guiding groove and fall into the insect collection port 1801. The insect collection port 1801 is closed when no insects fall onto this position. When one, two, or multiple insects fall and gather at the insect collection port 1801, due to the accumulation of gravity, the insect collection port 1801 will expand to both sides. The insects that fall into the insect collection port 1801 will fall downward into the insect attracting device 6, achieving the purpose of attracting insects and then removing insects required by the patent. At the same time, after the insect collection port 1801 is opened and insects fall into the insect attracting device 6, since the gravity accumulated on the insect collection port 1801 no longer exists, the two expanded side edges of the insect collection port 1801 will close towards the middle again at the same time when the insects fall into the insect attracting device 6. Finally, the insect collection port 1801 becomes closed again, ensuring the sealing property of the insect attracting device 6;
[0168] The insect guiding groove structure 18 is set in a symmetric or asymmetric V shape or funnel shape. Structures of such shapes have the property of sloping downward, causing insects that have lost their lives or are completely unconscious and fall onto it to fall downward due to gravity. Even insects that are alive and conscious will be difficult to climb upward and easy to fall downward into the insect collection port on such an insect guiding groove structure 18 with a downward slope. The slope surface of the insect guiding groove structure 18 is preferably set as the convex arc shown in the figure, making it easier for insects to fall downward;
[0169] The lower sides of both sides of the insect guiding groove structure 18 are fitted with the headlight housing fitting sides 11. The fitting length and curvature of the insect guiding groove structure 18 are set to ensure that the insect guiding groove structure 18 will not fall off and is stably set inside the headlight. At the same time, when setting the elasticity and toughness of the insect guiding groove structure 18, it is necessary to combine the position setting of the insect guiding groove structure 18 and the headlight housing fitting sides 11 and the opening size of the headlight housing fitting sides 11 to ensure that the insect guiding groove structure 18 is stably set inside the headlight;
[0170] The ratio of the height to the width of the insect guiding groove structure 18 can be set as large as possible, making it easier for insects that have lost their lives or are completely unconscious and fall onto the insect guiding groove structure 18 to fall into the insect collection port 81. Even insects that are alive and conscious and fall into the insect guiding groove are not easy to climb up due to the large slope;
[0171] The insect guiding groove is set at a position where it cannot be seen from the outside, such asFigure 11 The insect guiding groove structure 18 is arranged outside the observable field of vision visible to external observers. Thus, the insect guiding groove structure 18 is not easily visible, and there are no appearance problems. In addition, neither insects with life and consciousness nor insects that have lost their lives or have no consciousness at all can be observed by external observers on the insect guiding groove structure 18, improving the appearance of the vehicle lamp and the entire vehicle;
[0172] The insect guiding groove structure 18 uses materials with good elasticity or toughness, and avoids using materials with strong plasticity or high brittleness, so that when the weight of the insects accumulated at the insect collection port 1801 reaches a certain level and the insect collection port opens, it will not have problems such as yielding or breaking. When the insects fall into the insect attracting device 6, the insect collection port 1801 will move in the reverse direction again to achieve closure;
[0173] As Figure 3 shown, if insects with life and consciousness come to the one-way passage structure, they can actively open the moving part. However, if insects that have lost their lives or have no consciousness at all come to the dropping area 19 due to vehicle shaking, bumping, etc., they cannot actively open the moving part 501 of the one-way passage structure 5 and enter the insect attracting device 6, and will accumulate in the vehicle lamp for a long time, affecting all aspects of the vehicle lamp performance. As the vehicle lamp bumps and travels, there will be a situation where insects can be seen by observers, which neither solves the insect removal problem nor brings appearance problems. But as Figure 11 shown, by setting the insect guiding groove structure 18 and the insect collection port 1801, both insects with life and consciousness and insects that have lost their lives or have no consciousness at all will fall along the inclined groove of the insect guiding groove structure 18 to the insect collection port 1801 and then fall into the insect attracting device 6, and there will be no problem of the dropping area 19 as Figure 3 shown. Insects falling on the inclined surface of the insect guiding groove structure 18 will all fall downward and will not stay in place, and then this function is realized through gravity and the opening and closing of the insect collection port, ensuring an accurate and applicable insect removal system for any situation;
[0174] Furthermore, a lubricant or oily substance is provided on the surface of the insect guiding groove structure 18 to make it easier for insects to fall and not easy to climb up the insect guiding groove structure 18.
[0175] The insect removal system can be further improved as follows:
[0176] The first improvement, as Figure 9As shown, it can also be that an insect attracting device 6 for attracting insects is provided at a specific position of the vehicle lamp. An air inlet channel 12 is provided on the front side of the insect attracting device or the insect attracting device part of the rear cover. The other side of the air inlet channel 12 is connected to a wind energy generating device 16. A wind energy device 14 is provided on the wind energy generating device 16, and a fan or a large-function wind energy driving device for the production line is selected. An air outlet channel 13 is provided on the rear side of the insect attracting device part. The air outlet channel 13 is connected to an insect collection device to collect the insects output by the wind energy of the insect attracting device from the air outlet channel 13.
[0177] A one-way insect prevention device 15 is provided at the connection position between the insect attracting device 6 and the air inlet channel 12. The one-way insect prevention device 15 is preferably provided inside the insect attracting device. The one-way insect prevention device 15 is preferably a grid-like structure device or a membrane structure device. Insects cannot pass through the one-way insect prevention device 15, but the wind energy coming from the air inlet channel 12 can pass through the one-way insect prevention device 15 and enter the insect attracting device 6 to blow out the insects in the insect attracting device 6 to complete insect removal; it can ensure that insects will not climb to the air inlet channel 12 and can also ensure that the wind energy can enter the insect attracting device to blow out the insects.
[0178] The above solution is applicable to insect removal in the vehicle lamp production line and also applicable to insect removal after packaging and transportation and before being assembled to the vehicle body sheet metal.
[0179] The second improvement is as Figure 10 As shown, one end of the air inlet channel 12 is connected to the insect attracting device 6, and the other end is connected to an air intake grille 17. When the vehicle is running, especially at high speed, wind will enter the air intake grille 17. The wind energy entering the air intake grille 17 is blown to the insect attracting device 6 through the air inlet channel 12, and the insects in the insect attracting device 6 are blown out to the air outlet channel 13. The air outlet channel 13 is connected to the outside of the vehicle body, and the insects are blown out of the vehicle body through the air outlet channel 13.
[0180] The above solution is applicable to insect removal when the vehicle is running after being assembled to the vehicle body sheet metal.
[0181] The first improvement can achieve automated application. Once each vehicle lamp arrives at this station, the channel connecting the insect attracting device area of the vehicle lamp, especially the relevant parts of the rear cover of the vehicle lamp, to the wind energy device is executed. The fan or the wind energy device is turned on to generate high-power wind energy. The wind energy passes through the channel and comes to the insect attracting device area and blows out the insects with high power. The blown-out insects pass through the insect removal channel and come to the device specially set on the production line for collecting insects. During this process, the whole set of devices is guaranteed to be sealed. After completion, the vehicle lamp is moved to the next station for subsequent assembly and operation, while the remaining parts, that is, the remaining vehicle lamps, will be moved to this station to repeat the above wind energy insect removal operation.
[0182] The second improvement is to use wind energy to blow out the insects, which is both environmentally friendly. Wind energy is used without the need for additional parts or pesticides, etc., and the wind energy can blow out the insects outside the vehicle lamp most efficiently and cleanly.
[0183] As shown Figure 2 in Figure 2 , the vehicle headlight insect repellent system is further provided with an auxiliary insect repellent device 4. In many cases, due to the design of the internal structure of the vehicle headlight, it is relatively complex, and many structures have large-angle bends or slits, making it impossible to achieve complete sound source coverage of the inside of the vehicle headlight. Therefore, in order to better repel insects, an auxiliary sound source can be set to emit sound waves even in difficult or special angles, driving the insects to the insect collection device.
[0184] The present invention realizes the expulsion, one-way passage, and attraction and collection of insects by setting an insect repellent device, a one-way passage structure, and an insect attracting device, thereby achieving insect removal inside the vehicle headlight.
