[0011] In the above-mentioned automobile ceiling light assembly, the touch film is connected to one side surface of the light homogenizing bracket by bonding, and the light homogenizing bracket is located between the touch film and the light guide plate, wherein the trigger end on the touch film is arranged opposite to the light-transmitting pattern portion, and the electrical connection end on the touch film extends outward and extends out of the corresponding cavity opening of the first accommodating cavity, and forms a plug-in electrical connection with the connector on the substrate.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] (1) The present invention provides a car ceiling light assembly, which can be turned on or off by setting a touch film or a ring-shaped copper foil, thereby compressing the volume of the entire car ceiling light assembly, achieving a thinner car ceiling light assembly, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the car ceiling light assembly.

[0022] (4) Through the stepped matching between the lighting lens and the panel body, on the one hand, the contact area between the two is increased. On the other hand, since the lighting lens and the panel body are made of different materials, there may be a risk of cracking after long-term use. With the stepped matching, even if cracks occur, the panel body can still "support" the lighting lens, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the two.

[0044] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0045] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0046] Embodiment 1
[0047] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides an automobile ceiling light assembly, comprising:
[0048] The panel includes a light-proof panel body 100, a light-transmitting lighting lens 200 and a light-transmitting pattern portion 710;
[0049] The backlight key module 800 includes a light guide plate 600 and a touch layer, wherein the position of the touch layer corresponds to the position of the light-transmitting pattern portion 710;
[0050] The substrate 500 is electrically connected to the touch layer, wherein an illumination light source 510 and a pattern light source 530 are disposed on the substrate, and the illumination light source 510 corresponds to the position of the illumination lens 200, and the light emission direction of the pattern light source 530 is toward the side of the light guide plate 600 and is converted into surface light emission by the light guide plate 600 and emitted from the light-transmitting pattern portion 710;
[0051] The back cover 400 is connected to the panel, and the substrate 500 is clamped between the back cover 400 and the panel.
[0052] In the research on vehicle ceiling light assemblies, there are two main factors that limit the size of vehicle ceiling light assemblies. First, the functional switches in the vehicle light assemblies are usually mechanical buttons. The triggering of the mechanical buttons requires a certain stroke. At the same time, in order to cater to the size of the user's fingers for easy operation, the mechanical buttons themselves require a certain size. The second is the pattern backlight of the switch. In order for the user to see the position of the switch in a dark environment, the location of the switch requires a light-transmitting pattern of a certain size, and the divergence angle of the internal light source is limited. In order to light up the entire light-transmitting pattern, a certain distance is required between the internal light source and the light-transmitting pattern. These two factors together lead to the size of the existing vehicle ceiling light assemblies cannot be reduced.
[0053] The embodiment provides a car ceiling light assembly, which changes the original mechanical button triggering to a touch layer triggering, and the backlight pattern of the switch adopts surface luminescence in the form of a light guide plate, and the combination of the two can reduce the thickness of the car ceiling light assembly, meet the requirements of thinness and cost reduction. The surface luminescence in the form of a light guide plate can not only reduce the size, but also realize the lighting of the backlight patterns of multiple switches with only one light source, reducing the number of light sources and saving costs.
[0054] Preferably, the touch layer is an annular copper foil 520 on the surface of the substrate 500 . The annular copper foil 520 is integrally formed with the substrate 500 and corresponds to the position of the light-transmitting pattern portion 710 .
[0055] It is further pointed out that the annular copper foil 520 is arranged in an annular closed manner, wherein the position of a portion of the annular copper foil 520 corresponds to the position of the light-transmitting pattern portion 710 , and the position of another portion of the annular copper foil 520 corresponds to the position of the lighting lens 200 .
[0056] It is worth mentioning that, unlike the prior art, in which the lighting and extinguishing of the luminous light source are achieved by using structures such as metal touch coils and conductive rubber, in the present embodiment, the annular copper foil 520 is a closed circular ring with a relatively thin thickness. The annular copper foil 520 is essentially the same as the copper circuit on the substrate 500, so the annular copper foil 520 and the substrate 500 are integrally formed. The annular copper foil 520 is used to light the luminous light source while retaining the touch function. The cost of the substrate 500 will not be increased. On the contrary, compared with the prior art, the cost of the touch module can be eliminated, the production cost of the product is saved, the product competitiveness is improved, and the internal structure of the automobile dome light assembly is simplified, thereby further reducing the thickness of the automobile dome light assembly and realizing the lightweight development of the automobile dome light assembly.
[0057] In addition, the annular copper foil 520 generally refers to a material layer used in capacitive touch screen technology, which enables the screen to recognize touch input. This touch layer is usually made of a transparent conductive material, the most common of which is indium tin oxide (ITO). When the user's finger approaches or touches the switch surface on the car ceiling light assembly, the capacitance change signal is converted into a voltage signal, which is output through high and low levels to light up or extinguish the light source, thereby realizing touch control of the car ceiling light assembly.
[0058] It is further pointed out that a plurality of pits 610 for reflecting light are disposed on a surface of the light guide plate 600 facing the substrate 500 , and the plurality of pits 610 are evenly distributed on the light guide plate 600 .
[0059] It is worth mentioning that the light guide plate 600 is an optical grade acrylic / PC sheet, a high-tech material with a very high refractive index and no light absorption. The light guide points, i.e., pits 610, are printed on the bottom surface of the optical grade acrylic sheet by laser engraving, V-shaped cross grid engraving, or UV screen printing. The optical grade acrylic sheet receives the light emitted from the light source and transmits it through total reflection on the inner surface of the optical grade acrylic sheet. When the light hits each light guide point, the existence of the light guide point destroys the total reflection condition of the internal light, so the reflected light will spread to various angles and then be emitted from the front of the light guide plate. Through various light guide points of different densities and sizes, the light guide plate can emit light evenly.
[0060] Preferably, the panel also includes a light-transmitting body 700, and the light-transmitting body 700, the lighting lens 200 and the panel body 100 are integrally formed by two-color injection molding, wherein the inner surface of the light-transmitting body 700 has a light-shielding layer, and part of the light-shielding layer is hollowed out to form a light-transmitting pattern portion 710.
[0061] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting body 700, the lighting lens 200 and the panel body 100 are formed into an integrated structure by two-color injection molding technology, which not only simplifies the structure and assembly process of the entire automobile dome light assembly, but also reduces the production cost of the automobile dome light assembly.
[0062] It is worth mentioning that a plurality of light-transmitting pattern portions 710 are provided on the light-transmitting body 700. When the pattern light source 530 corresponding to the light-transmitting body 700 is turned on, the plurality of light-transmitting pattern portions 710 are illuminated synchronously, thereby improving light utilization, reducing the number of pattern light sources 530, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the automobile ceiling light assembly.
[0063] Preferably, the lighting lens 200 includes a light emitting surface 210 and a light receiving surface 220, wherein the light emitting surface of the lighting light source 510 faces the light receiving surface 220 and is close to the light receiving surface 220; and also includes a one-way light transmitting layer 300, which covers the light emitting surface 210 or the light receiving surface 220. When the one-way light transmitting layer 300 covers the light emitting surface 210, the shape of the one-way light transmitting layer 300 is adapted to the shape of the light emitting surface 210; when the one-way light transmitting layer 300 covers the light receiving surface 220, the shape of the one-way light transmitting layer 300 is adapted to the shape of the light emitting surface 210.
[0064] In this embodiment, one side of the light emitting surface 210 or the light receiving surface 220 of the lighting lens 200 is covered with a one-way light-transmitting layer 300 to prevent the user from seeing the internal structure of the car dome light assembly when the car dome light assembly is not lit, thereby improving the overall appearance of the entire car dome light assembly.
[0065] In addition, when the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 covers the light-emitting surface 210, the shape of the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 is adapted to the shape of the light-emitting surface 210; when the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 covers the light-receiving surface 220, the shape of the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 is adapted to the shape of the light-emitting surface 210, thereby achieving full coverage of the lighting lens 200 by the one-way light-transmitting layer 300.
[0066] It is further pointed out that the panel body 100 is made of opaque material, and the lighting lens 200 is made of translucent material, wherein no translucent layer is arranged on the same side of the panel body 100 as the light emitting surface 210 of the lighting lens 200, thereby avoiding light leakage and improving the reliability of the automobile ceiling light assembly when emitting light.
[0067] Preferably, the panel body 100 includes an outer surface 110 and an inner surface 120, and the outer surface 110 is arranged on the same side as the light emitting surface 210, wherein the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 covers the light emitting surface 210, there is a height difference between the outer surface 110 and the light emitting surface 210, and the thickness of the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 is less than or equal to the value of the height difference.
[0068] It is worth mentioning that the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 has a certain thickness. When the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 covers the light-receiving surface 220, since the light-receiving surface 220 is located inside the shell, although the illumination light source 510 is close to the light-receiving surface 220, there is still a gap between the two. Therefore, even if the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 covers the light-receiving surface 220, it will not affect the conduction of light. However, when the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 covers the light-emitting surface 210, the light-emitting surface 210 covered with the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 may be higher than the outer surface 110 of the panel body 100. On the one hand, when the lighting source 510 needs to be turned on or off, the finger surface of the user's finger will contact the light-emitting surface 210. After repeated use, the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 and the light-emitting surface 210 may slide relative to each other, resulting in a part of the light-emitting surface 210 not being covered by the one-way light-transmitting layer 300. Or, children may "click" the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 with their fingers out of curiosity, which may also result in a part of the light-emitting surface 210 not being completely covered by the one-way light-transmitting layer 300, and the "raised" one-way light-transmitting layer 300 may be easily "clicked off". In addition, since the one-way light-transmitting layer 300 is higher than the outer surface 110, the appearance of the entire automobile ceiling light assembly is affected.
[0069] Therefore, in the present embodiment, a height difference is formed between the outer surface 110 and the light emitting surface 210, and the height difference can be compensated by the thickness of the one-way light transmitting layer 300, so that the light emitting surface 210 covered with the one-way light transmitting layer 300 is flush with the outer surface 110 or the one-way light transmitting layer 300 is recessed in the light emitting surface 210, thereby improving the appearance of the entire automobile ceiling light assembly. In addition, due to the height difference between the outer surface 110 and the light emitting surface 210, the one-way light transmitting layer 300 covering the light emitting surface 210 forms a similar "embedded" installation, and the various side surfaces of the one-way light transmitting layer 300 are "hidden", thereby improving the reliability of the installation of the one-way light transmitting layer 300.
[0070] Preferably, a sawtooth portion 230 is provided on the light receiving surface 220, and the sawtooth portion 230 includes a plurality of rows of teeth arranged in an array, wherein each row of teeth is arranged in a wave shape, and a plurality of teeth 231 are provided on each row of teeth, and any one of the teeth 231 is located at a crest position along one side of the length direction of the row of teeth, and the other side of the tooth 231 is located at a trough position.
[0071] It is further pointed out that one side of the tooth surface of the tooth 231 is arranged in a flat surface, and the opposite side is arranged in a circular arc convex surface.
[0072] In this embodiment, by providing the sawtooth portion 230 on the light receiving surface 220 , the light emitted from the illumination light source 510 can be refracted when entering the illumination lens 200 , thereby adjusting the light transmission path and improving the utilization rate of the light.
[0073] Preferably, the joint between the panel body 100 and the lighting lens 200 is matched in a stepped manner, wherein a recess 240 is provided along the edge of the lighting lens 200 , and a protrusion 130 matching the recess 240 is provided on the panel body 100 .
[0074] It is further pointed out that the recess 240 is arranged in a stepped shape and is annular along the edge of the lighting lens 200, wherein the recess 240 includes a first step surface 241 and a second step surface 242. The structure is similar to a through groove arranged on the panel body 100, and the area of the through groove is slightly larger than the area surrounded by the first step surface 241 and smaller than the area surrounded by the second step surface 242, so that when the lighting lens 200 is connected to the panel body 100, the lighting lens 200 is inserted along the inner surface 120 of the panel body 100 toward the outer surface 110, so that the outer area of the through groove on the inner surface 120 just forms abutment with the recess 240.
[0075] In this embodiment, through the stepped matching between the lighting lens 200 and the panel body 100, on the one hand, the contact area between the two is increased; on the other hand, since the lighting lens 200 and the panel body 100 are made of different materials, there may be a risk of cracking after long-term use. With the stepped matching, even if cracks occur, the panel body 100 can still "lift" the lighting lens 200, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the two.
[0076] Preferably, a first clamping portion is provided on the inner surface 120 ; the back cover 400 includes a splicing surface 410 , and a second clamping portion is provided on the splicing surface 410 , wherein the substrate 500 is clamped between the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion.
[0077] Further preferably, the first clamping portion includes a first rib 140 arranged on the inner surface 120; the second clamping portion includes a cavity 420 formed along the splicing surface 410, and a second rib 430 is arranged in the cavity 420, wherein the substrate 500 is clamped between the first rib 140 and the second rib 430.
[0078] In this embodiment, the substrate 500 is clamped between the first rib 140 and the second rib 430, which improves the reliability of the installation of the substrate 500 on the one hand, and improves the strength of the panel body 100 and the back cover 400 on the other hand. In addition, the second rib 430 is arranged in the cavity 420, so that a part of the structure of the substrate 500 can be located in the cavity 420, thereby reducing the thickness of the automobile dome light assembly and realizing the thinning development of the automobile dome light assembly.
[0079] Further preferably, a positioning column 150 is provided on the inner surface 120 of the panel body 100, and a positioning hole 440 which is plugged into and cooperates with the positioning column 150 is provided on the bottom of the concave cavity 420 of the back cover 400, wherein a first connecting column 160 is also provided on the inner surface 120 of the panel body 100, and a first connecting hole 161 is provided in the first connecting column 160, and a second connecting column 450 is provided on the bottom of the concave cavity 420 of the back cover 400, and a second connecting hole 451 is provided in the second connecting column 450, and the connection between the panel body 100 and the back cover 400 is completed by fasteners passing through the first connecting hole 161 and the second connecting hole 451.
[0080] It is worth mentioning that since the substrate 500 is clamped between the first rib 140 and the second rib 430, in order to achieve a reliable connection between the panel body 100 and the back cover 400, an avoidance hole can be set at the corresponding position of the substrate 500 to avoid the positioning column 150, the first connecting column 160 and other structures.

[0083] The panel includes an opaque panel body 100, a translucent lighting lens 200 and a translucent pattern portion 710, wherein a first accommodating cavity 180 is disposed inside the panel body 100, and a position of the first accommodating cavity 180 corresponds to a position of the translucent pattern portion 710;
[0084] The backlight key module 800 is installed in the corresponding first accommodating cavity 180, and the backlight key module 800 is provided with a light guide plate 600, a light homogenizing bracket 820 and a touch layer along the opening direction of the corresponding first accommodating cavity 180;

[0087] The present invention provides a car ceiling light assembly, which replaces the original mechanical button triggering with triggering through a touch layer, thereby reducing the thickness of the car ceiling light assembly and meeting the demand for thinness.
[0088] It is further pointed out that the touch layer is a touch film 830 , which is disposed on the inner side of the panel body 100 and is attached to the light-transmitting pattern portion 710 .
