Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle lighting technology, and in particular to a taillight and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The traditional taillight structure consists of a closed cavity formed by the lamp glass and the lamp housing. The reflector, the bulb inside the reflector, the position lights, and the translucent middle plate are all located within the cavity. The position lights and the bulb are staggered and positioned near the outer edge of the cavity. The middle plate is positioned between the position lights and the lamp glass, and it has a light outlet corresponding to the reflector, allowing the bulb to emit light through the outlet. There is an open cavity between the middle plate and the bulb, and also an open cavity between the position lights and the light outlet. The middle plate is used to conceal the electrical components of the rear position lights, improving aesthetics.

[0003] This type of taillight design, with the position lights, center plate, and bulb all housed in the same cavity, has an open cavity between the center plate and the bulb on the side facing the position lights, and also an open cavity between the position lights and the light outlet. This results in interference between the light paths and affects the aesthetics. Specifically, when the turn signal or brake light bulb is lit, some of the light emitted by the bulb diffuses freely through the open cavity and illuminates the side of the center plate facing the position lights. When the position lights are lit, the light from the position lights diffuses freely through the open cavity and escapes from the light outlet, resulting in white light overflowing from the light outlet. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a taillight and vehicle, wherein the taillight of this invention improves the aesthetics when illuminated and avoids mutual interference of light paths.

[0005] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a taillight is provided, comprising a lamp glass, a lamp housing, a center plate, a turn signal, a brake light, and a position light. The lamp glass and the lamp housing together form a cavity, the center plate is disposed within the cavity, and the center plate and the lamp glass together form a first partition cavity, the center plate and the lamp housing together form a second partition cavity, at least two reflective grooves are provided on one side of the center plate located within the first partition cavity, the turn signal and the brake light are respectively disposed within the two reflective grooves, the center plate is provided with a light-transmitting portion, and the position light is installed in the second partition cavity corresponding to the light-transmitting portion.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the middle plate includes a reflective bowl and an annular connecting plate, the reflective groove is located on the reflective bowl, and the annular connecting plate surrounds the reflective bowl.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the light-transmitting portion is located on the annular connecting plate, and the shape of the light-transmitting portion matches the shape of the position lamp.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the annular connecting plate is further provided with a non-transparent portion, and the transparent portion is located between the non-transparent portion and the reflective bowl.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer edge of the reflector bowl, the light-transmitting part, and the non-light-transmitting part together form a groove with the opening facing the lamp housing, and the position lamp is located in the groove.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the reflective groove is uncoated and has a white optical pattern.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a lamp mounting base, which is mounted on the lamp housing, and one end of the lamp mounting base extends into the second cavity. A lamp hole is provided in the reflector groove, and one end of the turn signal and the brake light respectively passes through the lamp hole and is electrically connected to the lamp mounting base.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the middle plate is provided with a plurality of mounting arms on one side of the second cavity, each mounting arm including a first arm and a second arm, the position light being located between the first arm and the second arm, and the first arm and the second arm jointly clamping the position light.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the back of the middle plate has a plurality of connecting posts, the connecting posts having threaded holes for connecting with screws, the lamp housing having through holes corresponding to the connecting posts, and one end of the screw passing through the through holes and connecting with the threaded holes.

[0015] The present invention also discloses a vehicle, including a vehicle body and at least two taillights as described above, wherein the two taillights are respectively mounted on both sides of the rear of the vehicle body.

[0016] One embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention discloses a taillight comprising a lamp glass, a lamp housing, a center plate, turn signals, brake lights, and position lights. The lamp glass and lamp housing together form a cavity, and the center plate is disposed within the cavity. The center plate and lamp glass together form a first partition cavity, and the center plate and lamp housing together form a second partition cavity.

The turn signals and brake lights are respectively disposed within the two reflective grooves. The center plate has a light-transmitting portion, and the position lights are installed within the second partition cavity corresponding to the light-transmitting portion. Because the bulbs of the turn signals and brake lights are separated from the side of the light-transmitting portion facing the position lights by the walls of the reflective grooves, and there is no open cavity between them, the turn signals do not illuminate the side of the light-transmitting portion facing the position lights when illuminated. Furthermore, because the position lights are separated from the first partition cavity by the center plate and the light-transmitting portion, and there is no open cavity between them, the light source of the position lights does not bypass the center plate and the light-transmitting portion when illuminated, thereby improving the aesthetics of the taillight when illuminated.

[0025] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that the invention will be thorough and complete, and the concept of the exemplary embodiments will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.

[0026] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” and “the” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended meaning of inclusion and that other elements / components / etc. may exist in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a taillight according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lamp glass 1, a lamp housing 2, a center plate 3, a turn signal 4, a brake light 5, and a position light 6.

[0028] The lamp glass 1 is made of a highly transparent and light-resistant material, which gives the surface of the lamp glass 1 good light transmission performance, ensuring the brightness requirements when lit, and the good light resistance ensures that the lamp glass will not easily oxidize or discolor under ultraviolet light and natural light for a long time.

[0029] The lamp housing 2 is injection molded from PC+ABS material. PC+ABS material has good processing performance and mechanical properties, as well as good appearance quality. Excellent mechanical properties can ensure that the lamp housing performs well when subjected to impact and load, and good appearance quality can ensure that it has a good visual appearance on the secondary surface of the lamp. The lamp housing 2 is provided with a lamp holder hole for the lamp mounting base 7 to extend into.

[0030] The lamp housing 2 and the lamp glass 1 together form a cavity 8. Preferably, the edges of the lamp glass 1 and the edges of the lamp housing 6 are welded together by vibration friction welding. Vibration friction welding has the technical effects of high connection strength and excellent airtight performance.

[0031] The middle plate 3 is formed by injection molding using PC material. The middle plate 3 is set inside the cavity 8, and the middle plate 3 and the lamp glass 1 together form the first cavity 81, and the middle plate 3 and the lamp housing 2 together form the second cavity 82.

[0032] The middle plate 3 has at least two reflective grooves 311 with openings facing the lamp glass 1 on one side inside the first cavity 81. The turn signal 4 and the brake light 5 are respectively installed in the two reflective grooves 311.

[0033] The middle plate 3 is provided with a light-transmitting part 322, and the position light 6 is installed in the second partition 82 corresponding to the light-transmitting part 322.

[0034] like Figure 1-4As shown, the taillight of the present invention is separated from the bulbs of the turn signal 4 and brake light 5 by the wall of the reflector groove 311 between the light-transmitting part 322 facing the position light 6 and the bulbs of the brake light 5, and there is no open cavity between them. This prevents the turn signal 4 from shining on the side of the light-transmitting part 322 facing the position light 6 when it is lit. Also, because the position light 6 and the first partition 81 are separated by the middle plate 3 and the light-transmitting part 322 and there is no open cavity between them, the light source of the position light 6 will not bypass the middle plate 3 and the light-transmitting part 322 when it is lit, thereby improving the aesthetics of the taillight when it is lit.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the reflector groove 311 is white, and the inner wall of the reflector groove 311 is uncoated and injection-molded with white optical patterns. The white optical patterns are used to uniformly reflect the light source to the lamp glass 1, improving the uniformity and brightness of the light source. Because the inner wall of the reflector groove 311 of the middle plate 3 of the taillight of the present invention is uncoated, there is no need to develop tooling and molds for plating aluminum or other metal reflective layers onto the inner wall of the reflector bowl, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the taillight.

[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a lamp mounting base 7 is also included. The lamp housing 2 has a lamp holder hole. The lamp mounting base 7 is mounted on the lamp housing 2 through the lamp holder hole. One end of the lamp mounting base 7 extends into the second cavity 82. The inner wall of the reflector groove 311 opposite to the lamp glass 1 has a lamp hole 312. The turn signal 4 and the brake light 5 are electrically connected to the lamp mounting base 7 through the lamp hole 312.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cross-section and longitudinal section of the inner wall of the reflector groove 311 opposite to the lamp glass 1 are both arc-shaped, and the lamp hole 312 is located at the apex of the arc, so that the light source is reflected uniformly.

[0043] Of course, the color of the light-transmitting part 322 is not limited to milky white. Those skilled in the art can choose the color of the light-transmitting part 322 according to actual needs.

[0044] Preferably, the light-transmitting part 322, the non-light-transmitting part 323 and the reflective bowl 31 are integrally molded using a two-color injection molding process, eliminating the need for connecting structures and connectors, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer edge of the reflector bowl 31, the light-transmitting part 322, and the non-light-transmitting part 323 together form a groove 324 with the opening facing the lamp housing 2, and the position lamp 6 is located in the groove 324.

[0046] The outer edge of the reflector bowl 31 blocks the light path of the position lamp 6 from shining into the reflector groove 331, thereby avoiding light path interference.

[0047] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the middle plate 3 has a plurality of connecting posts 321 on one side of the second cavity 82.

[0050] Of course, the shape of the position light 6 is not limited to C-shape. For example, the shape of the position light 6 can also be ring-shaped or strip-shaped. Those skilled in the art can choose the shape of the position light 6 according to actual needs.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the position light 6 is an LED light, which has the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving, long life, environmental protection and pollution-free, high color rendering and instant lighting.

[0052] Of course, the position light 6 is not limited to LED lights, and those skilled in the art can choose the type of position light according to actual needs.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the middle plate 3 is provided with multiple sets of mounting arms 313 on one side of the second cavity 82. Each set of mounting arms 313 includes a first arm 3131 and a second arm 3132. The position light 6 is located between the first arm 3131 and the second arm 3132, and the first arm 3131 and the second arm 3132 together clamp the position light 6.
