TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of automobile accessories, and more particularly to a sunroof atmosphere lamp. BACKGROUND

[0002] The atmosphere lamp in the car is used to improve the atmosphere in the car, and the light-emitting or light-guiding band can be installed in various places of the vehicle, including the main and auxiliary driver's instrument table, the sunroof or the rear seat, etc.

[0003] The control of the atmosphere lamp can be connected to the controller to flash, breathe or constantly light, etc. The atmosphere lamp can also be connected to the music player of the vehicle or mobile phone, so that the atmosphere lamp can flash with the rhythm of the music, and has more atmosphere.

[0004] In the case of a serious car accident (such as serious deformation of the vehicle), the double flash is usually automatically started to remind passing vehicles, but when the head or tail of the vehicle is deformed, the corresponding position of the turn signal is damaged and cannot be used, resulting in that the passing vehicles in the corresponding direction cannot receive the warning of the turn signal flashing of the accident vehicle, increasing the risk of the passing vehicles when approaching the accident vehicle.

[0005] Since the atmosphere lamp is usually installed in the car and has low brightness, in the case of a car accident and failure of the turn signal to flash, the atmosphere lamp in the car cannot play any warning role.

[0006] Therefore, a sunroof atmosphere lamp is designed to replace the front and rear turn signals to warn passing vehicles in the event of a car accident. SUMMARY

[0009] Further, the strip-shaped lampshade comprises a bottom plate, an arc-shaped transparent lampshade and two side connecting plates, the connecting plates are connected with the bottom plate, the arc-shaped transparent lampshade is connected with the connecting plates on both sides, a rotating shaft is arranged on the connecting plate, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected with the sunroof framework, and one of the rotating shafts is connected with the driving device.

[0010] Further, the connecting plate is provided with an arc-shaped clamping groove corresponding to the arc-shaped transparent lampshade, the bottom plate is provided with a straight clamping groove corresponding to the arc-shaped transparent lampshade, and the connecting plate and the bottom plate are connected through bolts.

[0011] Further, the bottom plate is provided with a support frame, the light-emitting lamp strip is located on the support frame, and the control circuit board is located on the support frame and electrically connected with the general controller of the automobile through the lead wire extending from the connecting plate.

[0012] Further, the support frame is provided with a light collector.

[0013] Further, the light-emitting port is provided with a light-transmitting plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: during use, the strip-shaped lampshade is located in the cavity of the window skeleton and can be used as a normal atmosphere lamp; the strip-shaped lampshade is turned out of the cavity and the light-emitting lamp strip emits warning light such as red light or yellow light, which can replace the vehicle turn signal lamp to warn passing vehicles in the case that the vehicle turn signal lamp fails, and since the sunroof is arranged on the roof and the extended transparent arc-shaped lampshade is located at a high position of the roof, it is easier to be received by passing vehicles.
