Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle lamps, and in particular to an in-lamp signal lamp capable of opening and closing and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the current field of automotive lighting technology, the existing car lighting system architecture has certain limitations. As far as the currently widely used car lighting design is concerned, the function of a single driving source is relatively simple, and it can only drive a single optical element to move in a specific direction. For example, in a common car headlight adjustment system, a single driving source can often only control the reflective bowl or the shading sheet to move in a straight line along the horizontal or vertical direction, so as to adjust the lighting angle or switch the high and low beam modes.

[0003] If you want to achieve more complex and creative functions, such as simulating the effect of human eye blinking, this involves the opening and closing movement of two light-emitting units. Since a single driving source can only work in a single direction for a single optical element, in this case, it is necessary to rely on two independent driving sources to work simultaneously to drive the two light-emitting units respectively. One driving source is responsible for controlling the opening and closing of one of the light-emitting units, and the other driving source synchronously controls the other light-emitting unit. Only in this way can the two light-emitting units complete the opening and closing action in coordination, thereby ultimately achieving the visual effect of imitating blinking. Although this design method solves the problem of realizing the blinking effect to a certain extent, it undoubtedly increases the complexity and cost of the system, and also puts higher requirements on the spatial layout inside the vehicle.

[0004] The patent document with publication number CN217153996U discloses a lighting display device with dynamic effects and its telescopic lighting module, wherein the telescopic lighting module includes: a tubular lamp, a bracket, a sleeve and a driving assembly; the tubular lamp is coaxially fixed with one end of the sleeve, the sleeve is sleeved on the bracket from the other end, and the sleeve can reciprocate relative to the bracket along the length direction of the bracket; the driving assembly is connected to the sleeve, and the driving assembly is used to drive the sleeve to reciprocate along the length direction of the bracket.

[0064] Embodiment 2:

[0065] Those skilled in the art may understand this embodiment as a more specific description of Embodiment 1.

[0066] The present embodiment provides a method for realizing the opening and closing movement of a signal light in a lamp, using a motor-driven connecting rod structure to move the bracket along a specified trajectory through a guide groove structure to realize the opening and closing of the light-emitting unit, thereby achieving a blinking effect.

[0067] In this embodiment, the driving motor 2 and the driving bracket 3 are installed together through the ball head, and the driving bracket 3 is connected to the first driving connecting rod 4 and the second driving connecting rod 5 through the latch to form the first sub-assembly. The follower connecting block 10 is installed on the follower support bracket 13 through the latch, and the connecting rod 12 and the connecting gear 11 are pre-assembled together through the latch structure, and then installed on the follower support bracket 13 through the latch structure and gear matching to form the second sub-assembly. Then, the first light-emitting unit 6 and the first support bracket 7 are installed together through screw connection and hole-axis matching to form the first light-emitting sub-assembly, and the second light-emitting unit 8 and the second support bracket 9 are installed together to form the second light-emitting sub-assembly. After the follower support bracket 13 is fixed to the shell, the light-emitting sub-assembly is connected to the follower bracket sub-assembly through the latch matching structure and the hole-axis matching. Finally, the driving bracket and the light-emitting unit sub-assembly are installed and fixed through the hole-axis matching and screw connection.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, the drive motor 2 is fixed on the bracket. When the drive motor 2 is working, the motor ball head moves radially and drives the drive bracket 13 to move.

[0069] like Figure 5 As shown, when the driving bracket 13 moves, the driving bracket 13, the first driving connecting rod 4, and the second driving connecting rod 5 move together with the connection point 1, thereby driving the connection point 2 and the connection point 3 to move in the opposite direction.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, the light-emitting unit moves in the opposite direction along with the support frame under the action of the connection point, and at the same time, the connection point 4 and the connection point 5 move in a directional manner under the constraint of the guide groove, thereby realizing the directional and reverse movement of the light-emitting unit, achieving the effect of unfolding the high and low beam signal lights.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, when the light-emitting unit moves, the follower connecting block 10 and the connecting gear 11 drive the connecting rod 12 to move in the third motion guide groove 16 through gear cooperation, ensuring that the light-emitting unit is stable and effective during closing or opening.

[0072] Furthermore, the first driving connecting rod 4, the second driving connecting rod 5, and the connecting rod 12 can be made of materials such as metal or plastic according to the stress conditions.

[0075] Furthermore, the length and position of the connecting rod can be adjusted to achieve transmission ratio adjustment in two movement directions.

[0076] Furthermore, signal lights, decorative parts, etc. can be arranged on the support bracket.
