DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] The present invention provides Figure 1-5 The structure of a reading light for an air outlet of a bus shown in the figure comprises a panel 1, a pressure plate 2 and a mounting plate 3. The panel 1 comprises a display surface 110 and a mounting surface 120. A pressing groove 1101 for mounting the pressure plate 2, a reading light 1102 and a blade assembly 1103 are fixedly provided on the display surface 110. The reading light 1102 and the blade assembly 1103 are laterally symmetrically distributed on both sides of the display surface 110.

[0016] The display surface 110 is also provided with a button assembly for controlling the reading light 1102. The button assembly includes a button 1104, a decorative block 1105 and a circuit board 1106. The decorative block 1105 is connected to the button 1104. The circuit board 1106 is on the mounting surface 120. The button 1104 includes a pressing end with Braille and a contact end contacting the circuit board 1106. The pressing end of the button 1104 is fixed on the display surface 110. The contact end of the button 1104 penetrates the display surface 110 and the pressure plate 2 and is located above the circuit board 1106. The display surface 110 can be sprayed with paint using a spray paint tool to achieve a color separation effect. The button 1104 is injection molded. By using plastic deformation, the button 1104 can touch the electronic switch on the circuit board 1106 by pressing it. The spring structure is eliminated, so that the risk of lateral shaking and failure of the button 1104 is solved. A decorative block 1105 is arranged on the contact surface of the button 1104, and the decorative block 1105 can be painted or electroplated to achieve a decorative effect. When the user presses the button 1104 once, the reading light 1102 turns on, and when the user presses the button 1104 again, the reading light 1102 turns off.

[0017] The display surface 110 is also provided with a seat lampshade 1107, a seat number plate 1108 and a number plate card 1109 at one end close to the reading light 1102. The seat lampshade 1107 is fixed on the display surface 110, and the seat number plate 1108 and the number plate card 1109 are attached to the seat lampshade 1107. The seat lampshade 1107 is injection molded. The seat lampshade 1107 is made of PC material with excellent light transmittance, and has lines arrayed inside, so that light transmits more evenly. The seat number plate 1108 is arranged in the gap between the seat lampshade 1107 and the number plate card 1109. The seat number plate 1108 is PP paper with black background and white characters. Light passes through the white characters to display the seat number more clearly.

[0018] The mounting surface 120 is fixed with mounting grooves 1201 for mounting the mounting plate 3. The mounting plate 3 is connected to the plane of the bus air outlet duct 4 and is fixed with a retaining spring 310. The mounting plate 3 is provided with mounting buckles 320 matching the mounting grooves 1201. The mounting buckles 320 are provided with limiting ribs. The limiting ribs are provided with a light strip 330. The light strip 330 is a COB soft light strip. The mounting plate 3 is also provided with screws 6 at the plane connection with the air outlet duct 4. The screws 6 are self-tapping screws and are set through the mounting plate 3 and the air outlet duct 4.

[0019] The pressing plate 2 is integrated into one piece, and the pressing plate 2 is provided with a speaker hole 210 and a buckle 220 matching the pressing groove 1101 during injection molding, which is convenient for installation and removal. A speaker component 5 is provided below the speaker hole 210, and the speaker component 5 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 3.

[0020] During the specific installation, the reading lamp 1102 and the blade assembly 1103 are arranged symmetrically on the display surface 110 of the panel 1, and then the button 1104 and the decorative block 1105 are fixed on the display surface 110, and finally the pressing plate 2 is snapped onto the panel 1. Then the seat lampshade 1107, the seat number plate paper 1108, and the number plate clamp 1109 are fixed to the display surface 110, and finally the circuit board 1106 is fixed, and the panel 1 is installed.

[0021] The installation of the mounting plate 3 is completed by laying the COB soft light strip 330 into the notches on both sides of the mounting plate 3 and then fixing the speaker component 5 to the mounting plate 3 by screws.

[0022] Finally, the mounting plate 3 is designed with 8 snap spring structures, and the user snaps the mounting plate 3 onto the air outlet duct 10 through the snap springs 310. The mounting plate 3 is also designed with 8 snap structures, and the corresponding positions of the contact panel 1 are also designed with 8 snap structures. The user uses the snap structures to snap the panel 1 onto the mounting plate 3, and the air outlet reading lamp structure domain is now installed.

[0023] In summary, this implementation method specifically solves the problem in the prior art that the current bus air outlet reading lights are complicated to install and difficult to disassemble after installation. At the same time, it solves the problem of direct illumination of the atmosphere lights on both sides of the existing bus air outlet reading lights, eliminates the direct illumination effect of the atmosphere lights with lampshades, hides the atmosphere lights, and diffusely reflects the atmosphere lights through the gaps in the air duct to achieve a diffuse ice-blue atmosphere effect. Furthermore, the plastic deformation of the button is utilized to eliminate the spring structure, effectively solving the risk of lateral shaking and failure of the button. The corresponding components are integrated and simplified to achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
