[0002] At present, the vehicle's ambient light is mainly used on the vehicle's sunroof. By printing a pattern with reflective ink on the sunroof, the colored light emitted by an external colored light source is projected into the sunroof. When the colored light is transmitted through the sunroof glass to the luminescent ink on it, the luminescent ink will glow, thereby displaying the corresponding pattern, thereby achieving the purpose of enhancing the atmosphere inside the vehicle.

[0003] However, the aforementioned ambient lighting arrangement is only suitable for non-openable glass surfaces, such as sunroofs, and is less suitable for vehicle liftgates. To achieve the ambient lighting effect on liftgates, a light-emitting component must be integrated into the glass. As an active component, the light-emitting component must be powered, and the wiring harness used for this power supply must be able to rise and fall with the liftgate. This poses a relatively harsh operating condition for the wiring harness and creates significant challenges in its overall layout.

[0060] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Implementation Method 1

[0062] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides an atmosphere lamp structure for a lifting door glass, which includes at least one light extraction structure 4, a guide rail 7 and a first light guide member 6 for conducting light. The light extraction structure 4 is arranged on the lifting door glass 1, and the light extraction structure 4 is used to extract the light conducted in the lifting door glass 1 to form a preset pattern; the guide rail 7 extends along the lifting direction of the lifting door glass 1, and the guide rail 7 is connected to the fixed structure 2 close to the lifting door glass 1, and at least a portion of the lifting door glass 1 is slidably connected to the guide rail 7, so that the guide rail 7 can guide the lifting movement of the lifting door glass 1; the first light guide member 6 is arranged on the guide rail 7, and at least a portion of the first light guide member 6 can receive light emitted by the light source assembly 3 and conduct the light to the lifting door glass 1.

[0063] The present invention is based on the existing lift door glass structure. A light extraction structure 4 is provided on the lift door glass 1. A guide rail 7 that can extend along the lifting direction of the lift door glass 1 is provided on a fixed structure 2 close to the lift door glass 1. The guide rail 7 is a fixed part relative to the lift door glass 1. The guide rail 7 can serve as a guide for the lift door glass 1 to perform lifting movement. It can also provide an installation position for the first light guide 6. The first light guide 6 is provided on the guide rail 7. At least a part of the position of the first light guide 6 can receive light emitted by the light source assembly 3 and transmit the light to the lift door glass. The light extraction structure 4 on the lifting door glass 1 can extract the light transmitted in the lifting door glass 1 to form a preset pattern, thereby avoiding the assembly method of directly contacting the light source assembly 3, the first light guide 6, and the corresponding light guide wire harness with the lifting door glass 1. The lifting and lowering action of the lifting door glass 1 will not affect the layout and status of the first light guide 6 and the corresponding wire harness. While achieving the ambient light effect, it will not be affected by the lifting and lowering of the glass, providing a stable transmission path for the incident light of the light extraction structure 4, effectively improving the user experience of the ambient light. Of course, the light extraction structure 4 can also scatter or refract the light when it is irradiated by light, and it is sufficient to form a preset pattern at the light extraction structure 4. The specific processing of the incident light by the light extraction structure 4 is not limited here.

[0064] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the fixed structural member 2 may be a fixed window glass of the vehicle body disposed near the lifting door glass 1 .

[0065] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the light extraction structure 4 includes a reflective ink layer printed on the surface of the lift door glass 1, and the reflective ink layer is in a preset shape on the lift door glass 1. Figure 2 As shown, the reflective ink layer can be preset into various shapes such as polygonal, elliptical, and long strips according to actual needs, and the number of light extraction structures 4 can also be one or more, which is not limited here. When irradiated by a colored light source, the light extraction structure 4 will emit light of the same color, thereby forming a preset pattern to achieve the purpose of enhancing the atmosphere effect.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, the ambient light structure for lift door glass also includes a sealing strip 5 that seals the gap between the lift door glass 1 and the fixed structure 2. The sealing strip 5 is connected to the guide rail 7, and the first light guide 6 is disposed on the sealing strip 5. Because the sealing strip 5 is connected to the guide rail 7, it is also a fixed component relative to the lift door glass 1. The sealing strip 5 not only seals the gap between the lift door glass 1 and the fixed structure 2, but also provides an assembly position for the first light guide 6. The first light guide 6 can also be disassembled, assembled, and replaced along with the sealing strip 5, making it more convenient to operate.

[0067] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the ambient light structure for the lift door glass also includes a guide bracket 8 fixedly connected to the lift door glass 1. The guide bracket 8 is located between the sealing strip 5 and the lift door glass 1. A second light guide 9 is provided on the guide bracket 8. The second light guide 9 extends from a position close to the first light guide 6 to the lift door glass 1. The second light guide 9 is used to transmit the light in the first light guide 6 to the lift door glass 1. The guide bracket 8 plays the role of fixing and guiding the second light guide 9, so that the light in the first light guide 6 can be accurately transmitted to the lift door glass 1, ensuring the stability of the light transmission path. Among them, the first light guide 6 and the second light guide 9 can both be made of light-guiding material into long strips of light guide strips, so that the light can be transmitted along the length direction of the light guide strips. It should be noted that the specific shape and structure of the first light guide 6 and the second light guide 9 are not limited here, and it is sufficient that the light guiding function can be achieved.

[0068] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second light guide member 9 is located in the guide bracket 8. The second light guide member 9 has a light guiding end 901 close to the first light guide member 6 and an incident end 902 connected to the lifting door glass 1, so that the light in the first light guide member 6 is transmitted to the lifting door glass 1 through the light guiding end 901, the second light guide member 9 body and the incident end 902 in sequence.

[0069] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sealing strip 5 has a slide groove 503 arranged along its extension direction, and the first light guide 6 is arranged at the bottom of the slide groove 503; the first end of the guide bracket 8 is connected to the lifting door glass 1, and the second end of the guide bracket 8 can be slidably arranged in the slide groove 503, the light guiding end 901 of the second light guide 9 is located at the first end of the guide bracket 8, and the incident end 902 of the second light guide 9 is located at the second end of the guide bracket 8. The second light guide 9 passes through the guide bracket 8, so that the second light guide 9 can be positioned and guided more stably.

[0070] The guide bracket 8 and the second light guide 9 can be, but are not limited to, integrally injection molded. Alternatively, the guide bracket 8 and the second light guide 9 can be assembled and connected, i.e., the guide bracket 8 and the second light guide 9 are molded separately, a mounting hole is pre-set on the guide bracket 8 and passes through the guide bracket 8, and the second light guide 9 is inserted into the mounting hole and fixed by bonding, thereby achieving the assembled and connected molding of the guide bracket 8 and the second light guide 9.

[0071] Further, such as Figure 1As shown, a protruding slider 801 is provided at the second end of the guide bracket 8 or near the second end, and the slider 801 is located in the slide groove 503. When the guide bracket 8 slides in the slide groove 503, the main body of the guide bracket 8 does not contact the inner wall of the slide groove 503, and only the end of the slider 801 can slide in contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 503, thereby reducing the contact area, making the guide bracket 8 easier to slide, and can also play a positioning role in the relative position of the guide bracket 8 and the slide groove 503.

[0072] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, a mounting recess 701 is provided on the guide rail 7 along its extension direction. The shape and size of the mounting recess 701 are adapted to the sealing strip 5, and the main body of the sealing strip 5 is fixedly embedded in the mounting recess 701; a positioning groove 702 communicating with the mounting recess 701 is provided on the guide rail 7, and the sealing strip 5 has a sealing portion 501 and a positioning portion 502 connected to the main body of the sealing strip 5 and protruding from the main body of the sealing strip 5. When the sealing strip 5 is embedded in the mounting recess 701, the position of the sealing portion 501 is just sealed in the gap between the lifting door glass 1 and the fixed structure 2, and the positioning portion 502 is just fixedly embedded in the positioning groove 702, so that the sealing function of the sealing strip 5 can be achieved through the sealing portion 501, and the positioning portion 502 can cooperate with the positioning groove 702 to achieve the purpose of assembling and positioning the sealing strip 5.

[0073] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the ambient lighting structure for the lift door glass further includes a shield 15. The shield 15 covers the surface of the second light guide 9 to at least partially block the second light guide 9 and reserve a portion of the second light guide 9 opposite the light extraction structure 4 for light transmission, i.e., a partially light-transmitting area 16 is left on the second light guide 9. The shield 15 may be, but is not limited to, an opaque cylindrical structure. The shield 15 is positioned over the second light guide 9 to partially block the second light guide 9. Because the light extraction structure 4 may be partially obscured by the vehicle body's sheet metal structure as the lift door glass 1 is raised or lowered, the light extraction structure 4 exposed to the outside can be illuminated when the lift door glass 1 is fully closed, while the portion obscured by the vehicle body's sheet metal structure can be shielded by the shield 15. This allows the light to be concentrated, preventing light intensity attenuation and ensuring a good lighting effect. In the above manner, the second light guide 9 can also be designed as a dot matrix structure (i.e., local positions of the second light guide 9 emit light), and by detecting the specific height of the lifting door glass 1, several local positions at the corresponding positions can emit light.

[0074] In the present invention, the number of the guide bracket 8 is one, and one guide bracket 8 is provided with one or more second light guide members 9. In consideration of the attenuation of light intensity, in the actual structure, Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of second light guide members 9 can be set on a guide bracket 8 to meet the light intensity requirement; of course, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the number of guide brackets 8 can also be multiple, and each of the multiple guide brackets 8 is provided with one or more second light guide members 9, which can also meet the light intensity requirements and achieve a better lighting effect. The specific arrangement of the guide brackets 8 and the number of second light guide members 9 corresponding to each guide bracket 8 can be arranged according to the actual scenario.

[0075] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the guide bracket 8 is connected to the surface of the lift door glass 1 via a first connecting member 11, or the guide bracket 8 is integrally injection-molded with the first edge of the lift door glass 1. The first connecting member 11 may be, but is not limited to, a bonding portion formed of an adhesive such as polyurethane glue, through which the guide bracket 8 and the lift door glass 1 are bonded and fixed. Of course, other methods may also be used to achieve the assembly connection between the two.

[0076] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the guide rail 7 is connected to the surface of the fixed structure 2 via a second connecting member 10, or the guide rail 7 and the second edge 13 on the fixed structure 2 are integrally injection molded. The second connecting member 10 may be, but is not limited to, an adhesive portion formed of an adhesive such as polyurethane glue, and the guide rail 7 and the fixed structure 2 are adhesively fixed. Of course, other methods may also be used to achieve the assembly connection between the two.

[0077] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the sealing strip 5 and the first light guide 6 can be co-extruded, or the sealing strip 5 and the first light guide 6 can be separately processed and then assembled and connected. The sealing strip 5 and the first light guide 6 can be fixed by, but not limited to, adhesive bonding, or other methods can be used to achieve the assembly connection between the two.

[0078] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the light source assembly 3 can be set at any fixed position on the vehicle body (such as on the vehicle body or on the fixed corner window assembly), and it is necessary to ensure that the light source assembly 3 is connected to at least one end of the first light guide member 6 to ensure that the light emitted by the light source assembly 3 can be fully transmitted to the first light guide member 6.

[0079] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, the guide bracket 8 and second light guide 9 can be eliminated. Instead, the sealing strip 5 has a sealing groove 504 extending along its extension. The first light guide 6 is disposed at the bottom of the sealing groove 504. The edge of the lift door glass 1 near the fixed structure 2 is sealed and slidably embedded in the sealing groove 504. The above-mentioned structure of directly sliding the lift door glass 1 and the sealing strip 5 is more suitable for conventional lift door glass 1 structures. The light transmission path is simpler and more direct, but sufficient light intensity must be ensured to prevent the light from not being able to be concentrated and transmitted to the location of the light extraction structure 4, resulting in a weak atmosphere.

[0080] Furthermore, if the guide bracket 8 and second light guide 9 are omitted, two light source assemblies 3 can be provided. These two light source assemblies 3 are positioned below the vehicle door waistline and on either side of the lifting path of the liftgate glass 1 to ensure that the light emitted by the light source assemblies 3 is fully transmitted to the first light guide 6. Of course, if the installation conditions meet the requirements, a light source assembly 3 can also be installed on the vehicle body above the liftgate glass 1 to enhance the effect. The light source assembly 3 can use, but is not limited to, LED light-emitting elements, and the light intensity and color of the light element can be pre-customized according to requirements.

[0081] The light guiding principle of the ambient light structure for lift door glass of the present invention is:

[0082] The color of the colored light emitted by the light extraction structure 4 is preset by the light source assembly 3. When the light source assembly 3 emits light, it is transmitted through the first light guide 6 connected to the sealing strip 5. The light guide end 901 of the second light guide 9 is close to or connected to the portion of the first light guide 6 that can emit light. The light is transmitted through the first light guide 6 to the light guide end 901 of the second light guide 9. The light is then transmitted from the light guide end 901 to the incident end 902 within the second light guide 9. The light is then transmitted to the lifting door glass 1 through the incident end 902 of the second light guide 9. The light is finally transmitted to the location of the light extraction structure 4 through the lifting door glass 1, thereby forming a luminous pattern. If a colored atmosphere pattern is required, a light source assembly 3 that can emit colored light can be used to form an extended luminous pattern in the light extraction structure 4 to achieve the purpose of enhancing the atmosphere effect.

[0083] Since the guide bracket 8 can move along the extension direction of the sealing strip 5 (i.e., move up and down), the light guiding end 901 of the second light guide member 9 can be opposite to the first light guide member 6 at any position it can move to. Therefore, the lifting door glass 1 can emit light at any position when it is raised or lowered.

[0084] The characteristics and advantages of the ambient light structure for lift door glass of the present invention are:

[0085] The atmosphere light structure for the lifting door glass sets up a new light conduction path, avoiding the assembly method of directly contacting the light source component 3, the first light guide 6 and the corresponding wiring harness for guiding light with the lifting door glass 1. The lifting and lowering action of the lifting door glass 1 will not affect the layout and status of the first light guide 6 and the corresponding wiring harness. While achieving the atmosphere light effect, it will not be affected by the lifting and lowering operation of the glass, providing a stable conduction path for the incident light of the light extraction structure 4, and effectively improving the user experience of the atmosphere light.

[0086] Implementation Method 2

[0087] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a lifting door glass assembly, which includes a lifting door glass 1, a fixed window glass, a light source assembly 3 and the above-mentioned atmosphere light structure for the lifting door glass. At least a portion of the atmosphere light structure for the lifting door glass is slidably connected to the fixed window glass. The atmosphere light structure for the lifting door glass is used to transmit light emitted by the light source assembly 3 to the lifting door glass 1.

[0088] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, at least one bracket 12 is provided at the bottom of the lift door glass 1.
