Specifically, the front door crosslight 7 and the rear door crosslight 10 are arranged flush with the rear end of the headlight 1 towards the rear of the vehicle.

[0070] like Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the rear door crosslight and side panel crosslight combination of the present invention shows a rear door crosslight 10 and a side panel crosslight 12 arranged in a straight line on the side of the vehicle body. The rear door crosslight 10 and the side panel crosslight 12 are connected end to end. The rear door crosslight 10 is located between the B-pillar joint 8 and the C-pillar joint 11 in the vehicle body length direction. The rear door crosslight 10 is located on the rear door 9 in the vehicle body height direction. The side panel crosslight 12 is located between the B-pillar joint 8 and the rear taillight 14 in the vehicle body length direction. The side panel crosslight 12 is located on the rear panel 13 in the vehicle body height direction. The side panel crosslight 12 is arranged flush with the rear end of the headlight 1 towards the rear of the vehicle.

[0071] like Figure 6The schematic diagram of the side crosslights of the present invention shows only the side crosslights 12 arranged in a straight line on the side of the vehicle body. The side crosslights 12 are positioned lengthwise between the B-pillar splitter 8 and the rear taillights 14, and heightwise on the rear quarter panel 13. The side crosslights 12 are positioned flush with the rear end of the headlights 1, towards the rear of the vehicle.

[0072] like Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the side fender crosslight and side panel crosslight combination according to the present invention shows fender crosslights 2 and side panel crosslights 12 arranged in a straight line on the side of the vehicle body. However, the front door 6 and rear door 9 are intermittently positioned between the fender crosslights 2 and 12. The fender crosslights 2 are positioned between the headlights 1 and the A-pillar seam 5 along the vehicle body length, and between the front hood 3 and fender 4 along the vehicle body height. The side panel crosslights 12 are positioned between the B-pillar seam 8 and the taillights 14 along the vehicle body length, and are positioned on the rear quarter panel 13 along the vehicle body height. The fender crosslights 2 and 12 are aligned flush with the rear end of the headlights 1, towards the rear of the vehicle.

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown in the schematic diagram of the side through-type horizontal light of the present invention, there are fender horizontal lights 2, front door horizontal lights 7, rear door horizontal lights 10, and side wall horizontal lights 12 on the side of the vehicle body, and the fender horizontal lights 2, front door horizontal lights 7, rear door horizontal lights 10, and side wall horizontal lights 12 are connected in sequence front to back. The fender horizontal lights 2 are located between the headlights 1 and the A-pillar joint 5 in the length direction of the vehicle body, and the fender horizontal lights 2 are located between the front bonnet 3 and the fender 4 in the height direction of the vehicle body. The front door horizontal lights 7 are located between the A-pillar joint 5 and the B-pillar joint 8 in the length direction of the vehicle body, and the front door horizontal lights 7 are located on the front door 6 in the height direction of the vehicle body. The rear door horizontal lights 10 are located between the B-pillar joint 8 and the C-pillar joint 11 in the length direction of the vehicle body, and the rear door horizontal lights 10 are located on the rear door 9 in the height direction. The side wall horizontal lights 12 are located between the B-pillar joint 8 and the taillights 14 in the length direction of the vehicle body, and the side wall horizontal lights 12 are located on the rear side panel 13 in the height direction of the vehicle body. The fender transverse lights 2, the front door transverse lights 7, the rear door transverse lights 10, and the side transverse lights 12 are arranged flush with the headlights 1 toward the rear of the vehicle.

[0074] In order to realize the lighting control of the above-mentioned outer side transverse lamps (corresponding to the transverse lamp control assembly in each figure), in a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 9Each horizontal light control assembly 15 is composed of a number of lamp beads 151 arranged in a line horizontally, wherein the horizontal light control assembly 15 can be a single fender horizontal light 2, or a single front door horizontal light 7, or a single rear door horizontal light 10, or a single side horizontal light 12; the horizontal light control assembly 15 can also be composed of the fender horizontal light 2 and the front door horizontal light 7, the front door horizontal light 7 and the rear door horizontal light 10, the rear door horizontal light 10 and the side horizontal light 12, the fender horizontal light 2 and the side horizontal light 12, and the horizontal light control assembly 15 can also be composed of the fender horizontal light 2, the front door horizontal light 7, the rear door horizontal light 10, and the side horizontal light 12.

[0075] The crosslight control assembly 15 is controlled by a crosslight controller 16 to achieve either constant lighting or flashing. Flashing includes three different lighting modes: simultaneous lighting 23, slow-flow lighting 24, and fast-flow lighting 25. Specifically, slow-flow lighting 24 means that the interval between the lighting of two adjacent lamp beads 151 in the crosslight control assembly 15 is 0.5s to 1s (i.e., lighting is performed in a slow-flow manner in sequence at a first interval), while fast-flow lighting 25 means that the interval between the lighting of two adjacent lamp beads 151 in the crosslight control assembly 15 is 0.2s to 0.6s (i.e., lighting is performed in a fast-flow manner in sequence at a second interval).

[0076] Specifically, such as Figure 9 The crosslight controller 16 in this embodiment is composed of five parts: a clock module 161, a control module 162, a data module 163, a decoder 164, a crosslight controller output port 165, and a crosslight controller input port 166. The crosslight controller input port 166 is connected to the vehicle power supply 17 and the vehicle BCM 18; the crosslight controller output port 165 is connected to the crosslight control assembly 15, and the number of pins of the crosslight controller output port 165 is the same as the number of lamp beads 151 of the crosslight control assembly 15. After the crosslight controller 15 receives the input instruction from the vehicle BCM 18 and runs the corresponding program, the crosslight controller output port 165 outputs high and low frequency electrical signals to turn on or off the corresponding lamp beads 151 in the crosslight control assembly 15, and finally realizes the crosslight control assembly 15 in the constant light state to realize the functions of all lights being lit at the same time 23, slow water flow lighting 24, fast water flow lighting 25, and flashing function.

[0077] In this embodiment, the vehicle BCM 18 specifically performs the following process: the vehicle BCM 18 determines the target transverse light that needs to be turned on or off according to the instruction input by the user; the transverse light lighting function indicates whether the user allows the outer side transverse lights to be lit;

[0078] When the target crosslight's lighting function is on, the vehicle BCM 18 also outputs a control instruction to the crosslight controller 16 based on the vehicle's real-time status, causing the crosslight controller 16 to control the lighting state of the target crosslight. The vehicle's real-time status can be one or more of the following:

[0079] 1) Vehicle unlocked state;

[0080] 2) Driving speed and whether the vehicle is in an accelerating state;

[0081] 3) Charging gun insertion status and remaining power of the power battery;

[0082] 4) Whether it is in the steering state.

[0083] In one embodiment, Figure 10 The schematic diagram of the on / off control flow for the exterior side crossbar lights of the present invention shows that to enable the crossbar light function of the exterior side crossbar lights (this crossbar light function indicates whether the user allows the exterior side crossbar lights to be illuminated), the following steps are performed: the user clicks Multimedia Settings 19, then clicks Side Crossbar Lights 20. After clicking On 21, the corresponding crossbar light control assembly 15 will activate the corresponding crossbar light function; after clicking Off 22, the corresponding crossbar light control assembly 15 will deactivate the crossbar light function. When the crossbar light function is enabled, each crossbar light control assembly 15 can perform the following functions:

[0084] a. Figure 11 As shown in the control flow chart of the charging state crosslight control assembly of the rechargeable vehicle of the present invention, when the vehicle is unlocked, the vehicle unlocking signal 27 is transmitted to the vehicle BCM 18, and the vehicle BCM 18 then transmits the first type of lighting control instruction to the crosslight controller 16. The crosslight controller 16 controls the crosslight control assembly 15 to execute the execution of all lights being lit simultaneously for 0.5 seconds and then extinguished 28 (i.e., realizing the flashing function) after the vehicle is unlocked.

[0085] b. If it is a rechargeable vehicle such as a pure electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid vehicle, Figure 12 When the vehicle is in the charging process, the charging gun is inserted into the signal 29 and transmitted to the vehicle BCM18. When the power battery is less than 100% (i.e. the first preset power, which can also be set to other values) 30, the vehicle BCM18 then transmits the second type of lighting control instruction to the crosslight controller 16, and the crosslight controller 16 controls the crosslight control assembly 15 to perform slow flow lighting 24. When the charging gun is inserted and the power battery is 100% 31, the vehicle BCM18 then transmits the third type of lighting control instruction to the crosslight controller 16, and the crosslight controller 16 controls the crosslight control assembly 15 to perform all lights simultaneously lighting for 0.5s and then turning off for 0.5s repeatedly lighting and turning off 32. Figure 13As shown in the control flow chart of the crosslight control assembly when the charging gun of the rechargeable vehicle of the present invention is unplugged, when the charging gun is unplugged, the charging gun unplugging signal 33 is transmitted to the vehicle BCM18, and the vehicle BCM18 then transmits the first type of extinguishing control instruction to the crosslight controller 16, and the crosslight controller 16 controls the crosslight control assembly 15 to execute the non-lighting 26 command.

[0086] c. If it is a rechargeable vehicle such as a pure electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid vehicle, Figure 14 As shown in the control flow chart of the crosslight control assembly when the rechargeable vehicle power battery is low, when the vehicle power battery power is less than 20% (i.e., the second preset power level) 34, the vehicle BCM 18 transmits the fifth type of lighting control instruction to the crosslight controller 16. The crosslight controller 16 controls the crosslight control assembly 15 to execute the command of lighting all lights simultaneously for 0.5 seconds and then turning them off for 0.5 seconds, repeating the lighting and turning off 32.

[0087] d. If Figure 15 As shown in the control flow chart of the cross-light control assembly when the vehicle is turning or driving, when the vehicle is in motion and the driving speed is greater than 20 km / h (preset speed) 38 and the vehicle is not accelerating, the vehicle BCM 18 transmits the sixth type of lighting control command to the cross-light controller 16, and the cross-light controller 16 controls the cross-light control assembly 15 to perform slow-flow lighting 24;

[0088] e. Figure 15 As shown in the control flow chart of the cross light control assembly when the vehicle is turning or driving, when the vehicle is turning, the left turn signal 35 or the right turn signal 36 is transmitted to the vehicle BCM18, and the vehicle BCM18 transmits the eighth type of lighting control instruction to the cross light controller 16, and the cross light controller 16 controls the cross light control assembly 15 to perform slow flow lighting 24; in addition, when the cross light controller 16 receives the third type of extinguishing control instruction output by the vehicle BCM18 because it recognizes that the vehicle has changed from a turning state to a non-turning state, it controls all the lamp beads in each cross light control assembly 15 to extinguish.

[0089] f. Figure 16 As shown in the control flow chart of the crosslight control assembly when the automobile is accelerating, when the vehicle speed is greater than 20 km / h (i.e., the second preset speed, which can also be set to other values) 38 and the vehicle is in an accelerating state, the vehicle BCM 18 transmits the seventh type of lighting control instruction to the crosslight controller 16, and the crosslight controller 16 controls the crosslight control assembly 15 to perform fast-flow lighting 25; at the same time, when the crosslight controller 16 receives the second type of extinguishing control instruction output by the vehicle BCM 18 because it recognizes that the vehicle's driving speed has changed from a state higher than the preset speed to a state lower than the preset speed, it controls all the lamp beads in each crosslight control assembly 15 to extinguish.

[0090] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
