Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of transportation vehicles, and particularly to an intelligent vehicle lamp and an automobile. Background Art
[0002] With the development of automotive technology, some current automobiles are equipped with intelligent vehicle lamps. An intelligent vehicle lamp refers to a lamp device that, on the basis of having a lighting function, also has functions such as adaptive high beam and projection. By setting an intelligent vehicle lamp, the lighting function of the automobile can be enriched, and the technological sense of the automobile can be enhanced.
[0003] The intelligent vehicle lamp includes a lamp body and a lamp cover arranged at one end of the lamp body, and the vehicle light beam is emitted outward through the lamp cover; that is to say, the lamp cover is the light-emitting structure of the intelligent vehicle lamp. The intelligent vehicle lamp is installed on the automobile, and the automobile is provided with an installation cavity for installing the intelligent vehicle lamp and an opening communicating with the installation cavity, and this opening is used to expose the lamp cover of the intelligent vehicle lamp; the intelligent vehicle lamp is fixedly installed in the installation cavity of the automobile with the lamp cover facing the opening.
[0004] However, in the related art, the extension dimension of the intelligent vehicle lamp in the light-emitting direction of the lamp cover is relatively large, resulting in greater difficulty in forming an installation cavity that meets the installation requirements on the automobile, and further leading to the problem that it is relatively difficult to install the intelligent vehicle lamp on the automobile. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Embodiments of this application provide an intelligent vehicle lamp and an automobile, which are used to improve the problem that it is relatively difficult to install the intelligent vehicle lamp on the automobile.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:
[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an intelligent vehicle lamp, which includes a lamp module, a lamp housing, a reflection device, and a transparent lamp cover; wherein, the lamp module includes a light source, a light modulator, and a projection lens; the light source is used to provide a light source beam projected onto the light modulator; the light modulator is used to modulate the light source beam to form a vehicle light beam, and the vehicle light beam is emitted through the projection lens; the direction parallel to the optical axis of the projection lens is the first direction.
[0008] The lamp housing is connected to the lamp module and encloses to form a first accommodation cavity; the projection lens is located in the first accommodation cavity. The lamp housing includes a front plate and a side wall, the front plate is disposed opposite to the projection lens; in the first direction, the front plate is located on the side of the projection lens away from the lamp module. The side wall is located on the side of the front plate close to the lamp module and extends from the front plate toward the side where the lamp module is located. A first opening communicating with the first accommodation cavity is provided on the side wall.
[0009] The reflecting device is arranged in the first accommodating cavity and is configured to receive the vehicle headlight beam emitted by the projection lens and reflect the vehicle headlight beam to the first opening. The transparent lamp cover is mounted on the outer side of the vehicle headlight housing and covers the first opening; the vehicle headlight beam projected onto the first opening is emitted through the transparent lamp cover.
[0010] In the intelligent vehicle headlight provided in the embodiment of the present application, by changing the setting position of the transparent lamp cover and the reflection effect of the reflecting device, the vehicle headlight beam emitted from the transparent lamp cover can be made non-parallel to the optical axis of the projection lens; thus, the limitation between the light-emitting direction of the intelligent vehicle headlight and the installation attitude of the vehicle headlight module can be overcome. When the intelligent vehicle headlight is installed on a vehicle, the vehicle headlight module can flexibly adjust the installation attitude of the vehicle headlight module according to the internal space of the vehicle without adopting the installation attitude in which the projection lens is directly opposite to the illumination area; thus, it is beneficial to make rational use of the internal space of the vehicle, and the installation of the intelligent vehicle headlight can be realized in the existing space of the vehicle or with a minor adjustment to the vehicle shape. Therefore, the installation difficulty of the intelligent vehicle headlight can be reduced, and at the same time, the impact of the installation of the intelligent vehicle headlight on the vehicle shape can also be reduced.
[0011] In some embodiments, the reflecting device includes a reflecting mirror and a first driving device. Among them, the reflecting mirror is arranged between the first opening and the projection lens, and both the first opening and the projection lens are located on the same side of the reflecting mirror. The reflecting mirror is mounted on the first driving device, and the first driving device drives the reflecting mirror to rotate around an axis to adjust the angle of the vehicle headlight beam emitted from the transparent lamp cover.
[0012] In the intelligent vehicle headlight provided in the embodiment of the present application, the reflecting device can adopt a design with adjustable reflection angle, which is beneficial to adjusting the angle of the vehicle headlight beam emitted from the transparent lamp cover; thereby expanding the illumination range of the intelligent vehicle headlight and improving the performance of the intelligent vehicle headlight.
[0013] In some embodiments, the reflecting device includes at least two reflecting mirrors and a second driving device. The reflecting mirrors among the at least two reflecting mirrors are sequentially arranged between the first opening and the projection lens, and the vehicle headlight beam emitted from the projection lens reaches the first opening after passing through the reflecting mirrors among the at least two reflecting mirrors in sequence. The first driving device is connected to at least one reflecting mirror; the first driving device drives the connected reflecting mirror to rotate around an axis to adjust the angle of the vehicle headlight beam emitted from the transparent lamp cover.
[0014] In the intelligent vehicle headlight provided in the embodiment of the present application, the reflecting device can adopt a design with adjustable reflection angle and is applicable to the reflecting device with two or more reflecting mirrors. In addition, by arranging two or more reflecting mirrors in the reflecting device, the propagation direction of the vehicle headlight beam can be flexibly changed, so that it can be applicable to various different installation postures of the vehicle headlight module; it is more beneficial to reducing the installation difficulty of the intelligent vehicle headlight and the impact of the installation of the intelligent vehicle headlight on the vehicle shape.
[0015] In some embodiments, the intelligent vehicle lamp further includes a second driving device disposed on the lamp housing. The second driving device is connected to the transparent lamp cover and is used to drive the transparent lamp cover to move relative to the lamp housing in a second direction; wherein, the second direction is perpendicular to the plane where the first opening is located.
[0016] During the movement of the transparent lamp cover in the second direction, it has a first state and a second state. The transparent lamp cover in the first state is farther away from the first opening than the transparent lamp cover in the second state.
[0017] In the intelligent vehicle lamp provided by the embodiments of the present application, the transparent lamp cover is designed to be movable back and forth relative to the first opening; based on this, when the intelligent vehicle lamp is installed inside the vehicle, the transparent lamp cover can be controlled to move to a position farther away from the first opening when the intelligent vehicle lamp is working; and move to a position closer to the first opening when the intelligent vehicle lamp is not working; that is, drive the transparent lamp cover to extend when the intelligent vehicle lamp is working and retract when the intelligent vehicle lamp is not working; such a design is beneficial to the operation and hiding of the intelligent vehicle lamp installed inside the vehicle.
[0018] In some embodiments, the intelligent vehicle lamp further includes a sealing soft rubber, which is connected to both the lamp housing and the transparent lamp cover. The lamp housing, the transparent lamp cover and the sealing soft rubber enclose a sealing cavity that seals and connects the transparent lamp cover and the first opening.
[0019] In the intelligent vehicle lamp provided by the embodiments of the present application, by setting the sealing soft rubber, a sealing cavity can be formed to seal the space between the transparent lamp cover and the first opening, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the first accommodation cavity, keeping the first accommodation cavity in a closed state, so as to achieve the waterproof and dustproof effects on the structures in the first accommodation cavity. In addition, the sealing soft rubber is a soft rubber that can elastically deform and can expand and contract in the second direction; thus, good sealing performance can be always maintained during the movement of the transparent lamp cover in the second direction.
[0020] In some embodiments, the intelligent vehicle lamp further includes a second driving device disposed on the lamp housing. The second driving device includes a driving motor and a rotating roller. The central axis of the rotating roller is parallel to the third direction. The transparent lamp cover is disposed on the roller surface of the rotating roller, and the driving motor is used to drive the rotating roller to rotate around the central axis; wherein, the third direction is parallel to the plane where the first opening is located.
[0021] During the rotation of the transparent lamp cover with the rotating roller, it has a first state and a second state. The transparent lamp cover in the first state is located directly in front of the first opening. The transparent lamp cover in the second state deviates from directly in front of the first opening; and, in the second direction perpendicular to the plane where the first opening is located, the transparent lamp cover in the first state is farther away from the first opening than the transparent lamp cover in the second state.
[0022] In the intelligent vehicle lamp provided by the embodiment of the present application, the transparent lamp cover is designed to be rotatable about an axis relative to the first opening; the transparent lamp cover has a first state and a second state during the rotation about the axis; the transparent lamp cover in the first state is located directly in front of the first opening and at a position farther away from the first opening; the transparent lamp cover in the second state deviates from directly in front of the first opening and is at a position closer to the first opening. Based on this, when the intelligent vehicle lamp is installed inside the vehicle, the intelligent vehicle lamp can be controlled to work when the transparent lamp cover moves to the first state and stop working when the transparent lamp cover moves to the second state; that is, the transparent lamp cover is driven to extend when the intelligent vehicle lamp is working and retract when the intelligent vehicle lamp is not working; such a design is beneficial to the operation and hiding of the intelligent vehicle lamp installed inside the vehicle.
[0023] In some embodiments, the second driving device further includes a roller housing and a sealing soft rubber. The roller housing is connected to the lamp housing and encloses a second accommodating cavity and a second opening communicating with the second accommodating cavity; the rotating roller and the first opening are located in the second accommodating cavity, and the second opening is located directly in front of the first opening; the transparent lamp cover in the first state is exposed through the second opening.
[0024] The sealing soft rubber is arranged on the rotating roller. The sealing soft rubber extends from the rotating roller towards the roller housing and abuts against the inner wall of the roller housing.
[0025] In the intelligent vehicle lamp provided by the embodiment of the present application, by providing the sealing soft rubber and the roller housing, the sealing performance of the first accommodating cavity can be ensured, so that the first accommodating cavity is in a sealed state to achieve the waterproof and dustproof effects on the structures in the first accommodating cavity.
[0026] In some embodiments, the intelligent vehicle lamp further includes a shielding cover assembly. The shielding cover assembly includes an opaque shielding cover and a third driving device for driving the opaque shielding cover to move; the opaque shielding cover has a third state and a fourth state under the drive of the third driving device. The opaque shielding cover in the third state is located directly in front of the first opening; the opaque shielding cover in the fourth state deviates from directly in front of the first opening.
[0027] In the intelligent vehicle lamp provided by the embodiment of the present application, a shielding cover assembly is provided, and the shielding cover assembly is designed with an opaque shielding cover that can move; thus, it can protect the transparent lamp cover when the intelligent vehicle lamp is not working and does not affect the normal operation of the intelligent vehicle lamp when the intelligent vehicle lamp is working.
[0028] In some embodiments, the extension distance of the vehicle lamp module in the first direction is a first distance, and the maximum extension distance of the vehicle lamp module in a cross-section perpendicular to the first direction is a second distance; the first distance is greater than the second distance. In the intelligent vehicle lamp provided in the embodiments of the present application, by providing a reflection device, the direction in which the vehicle lamp module has the maximum extension distance can be adjusted to a state not parallel to the light-emitting direction of the transparent lamp cover, so as to be able to get rid of the limitation between the light-emitting direction of the intelligent vehicle lamp and the installation attitude of the vehicle lamp module; to a greater extent, the installation difficulty of the intelligent vehicle lamp on the vehicle can be reduced.
[0029] In some embodiments, the plane where the first opening is located is parallel to the first direction. That is to say, the opening direction of the first opening is perpendicular to the optical axis of the projection lens, and the reflection device changes the vehicle light beam emitted from the projection lens by 90 degrees, and the light-emitting direction of the transparent lamp cover is perpendicular to the optical axis of the projection lens. Such a design is beneficial to reducing the installation difficulty of the intelligent vehicle lamp on the vehicle to a greater extent, and is also beneficial to the selection and setting of the reflection device.
[0030] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle, which includes a body structure and the intelligent vehicle lamp as described in any one of the embodiments in the first aspect, and the intelligent vehicle lamp is installed on the body structure.
[0031] The technical effects that the vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application can achieve are the same as those of the intelligent vehicle lamp in any of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated here.
[0032] In some embodiments, the vehicle includes a bumper, and the bumper has a third opening; the intelligent vehicle lamp is installed inside the bumper, and the intelligent vehicle lamp irradiates to the outside of the bumper through the third opening. By installing the intelligent vehicle lamp inside the bumper, the space inside the bumper can be reasonably utilized, which is beneficial to reducing the installation difficulty of the intelligent vehicle lamp, and at the same time, the influence of the installation of the intelligent vehicle lamp on the vehicle styling can also be reduced.
[0033] In some embodiments, the intelligent vehicle lamp includes a second driving device provided on the lamp housing, and the second driving device is connected to the transparent lamp cover and is used to drive the transparent lamp cover to move relative to the lamp housing. The transparent lamp cover has a first state and a second state under the drive of the second driving device. The transparent lamp cover in the first state is located in the third opening, and the transparent lamp cover in the second state disengages from the third opening.
[0034] Such a design can block the third opening by making the transparent lamp cover extend into the third opening when the intelligent vehicle lamp is working, which is beneficial to improving the problem of air leakage during vehicle driving. In addition, the transparent lamp cover moves along with the change of the working state of the intelligent vehicle lamp, which can increase the sense of technology of the vehicle.
[0035] In some embodiments, when the transparent lamp cover is in the first state, the transparent lamp cover is located in the third opening, and its outer side surface is flush with the bumper; the outer side surface of the transparent lamp cover has the same shaping surface as the bumper. Such a design can maintain the consistency of the vehicle styling and avoid the transparent lamp cover in the first state from affecting the appearance of the vehicle.
[0036] In some embodiments, the vehicle further includes a cover assembly, which includes an opaque cover and a third driving device for driving the opaque cover to move; the opaque cover has a third state of closing the third opening and a fourth state of opening the third opening under the drive of the third driving device; when the opaque cover is in the fourth state, the intelligent vehicle lamp works through the third opening.
[0037] Such a design, on the one hand, the cover assembly can close the third opening when the intelligent vehicle lamp is not working by driving the opaque cover to move, which can avoid damaging the integrity of the vehicle styling caused by the third opening, and at the same time realize the hiding of the intelligent vehicle lamp; it can also avoid the problem that the intelligent vehicle lamp is constantly eroded by the inflowing air during the driving of the vehicle, playing a protective role for the intelligent vehicle lamp; it can also avoid damage to the intelligent vehicle lamp when the vehicle is scratched.
[0038] On the other hand, the cover assembly can open the third opening when the intelligent vehicle lamp is working by driving the opaque cover to move. While ensuring that the cover assembly does not affect the work of the intelligent vehicle lamp, the movement of the opaque cover along with the working state of the intelligent vehicle lamp can increase the technological sense of the vehicle.
[0039] In some embodiments, the third driving device is a driving device capable of driving the opaque cover to laterally slide or rotate around an axis relative to the third opening. In the cover assembly provided in the embodiments of the present application, various different ways can be adopted to drive the opaque cover to move, and the same effect can be achieved. The design is flexible and easy to implement.
[0040] In some embodiments, at least some structures of the third driving device and the second driving device are shared. Such a design can simplify the structures of the third driving device and the second driving device, improve the integration degree of the two; is beneficial to reducing costs and occupying less space; thus is beneficial to reducing the installation difficulty of the intelligent vehicle lamp, and at the same time can also be beneficial to reducing the impact of the installation of the intelligent vehicle lamp on the vehicle styling.
[0041] In some embodiments, the second driving device includes a driving motor and a rotating drum, the central axis of the rotating drum is parallel to the third direction, the transparent lamp cover is arranged on the drum surface of the rotating drum, and the driving motor is used to drive the rotating drum to rotate around the central axis; wherein, the third direction is parallel to the plane where the first opening is located.
[0042] The transparent lamp cover has a first state and a second state during the rotation process with the rotating drum. The transparent lamp cover in the first state is located directly in front of the first opening and is within the third opening; the transparent lamp cover in the second state disengages from the third opening and is located at a position deviating from directly in front of the first opening.
[0043] The vehicle includes an opaque cover, which is also arranged on the drum surface of the rotating drum. The opaque cover has a third state and a fourth state during the rotation process with the rotating drum. The opaque cover in the third state is located directly in front of the first opening and is within the third opening; the opaque cover in the fourth state disengages from the third opening and is located at a position deviating from directly in front of the first opening.
[0044] With such a design, the state switching of both the transparent lamp cover and the opaque cover can be achieved simultaneously by driving the rotating drum to rotate around the axis by the driving motor. The structure is simple and occupies little space; moreover, the movement between the transparent lamp cover and the opaque cover can have accurate synchronization.
[0045] In some embodiments, when the opaque cover is in the third state, the opaque cover is within the third opening and its outer side is flush with the bumper.
[0046] The outer side of the opaque cover has the same shaping surface as the bumper; with such a design, the consistency of the vehicle styling can be maintained and the impact of the opaque cover on the vehicle appearance can be avoided.
[0047] The opaque cover can also be provided with a vehicle logo. With such a design, the effect of "one thing with multiple uses" can be achieved, which simplifies the structure and saves costs; moreover, when the third driving device drives the opaque cover to move, the vehicle logo will move with the cover, thereby enhancing the technological sense of the vehicle.
[0048] In some embodiments, the bumper is the front bumper or the rear bumper of the vehicle; the applicable range is wide, which is beneficial to the installation of the intelligent vehicle lamp at different positions of the vehicle.
[0049] In some embodiments, the vehicle includes a left headlamp and a right headlamp arranged on the bumper; there is one intelligent vehicle lamp, which is integrated in the left headlamp or the right headlamp; or, there are two intelligent vehicle lamps, and the two intelligent vehicle lamps are respectively integrated in the left headlamp and the right headlamp. With such a design, the impact of the setting of the intelligent vehicle lamp on the vehicle styling can be reduced, and when the intelligent vehicle lamp is integrated in the left headlamp and the right headlamp, there is no need to separately set the third opening, and the cover assembly can be omitted, achieving the effects of simplifying the structure and saving costs.
[0050] In some embodiments, the intelligent vehicle lamp is disposed at the position of the central axis plane of the vehicle body; wherein, the central axis plane of the vehicle body is parallel to the vehicle length direction and the vehicle height direction of the vehicle, and is a plane passing through the width center point of the vehicle. With such a design, the working range of the intelligent vehicle lamp can be increased, thereby improving the working effect of the intelligent vehicle lamp.
[0051] In some embodiments, the vehicle includes at least two intelligent vehicle lamps, and the at least two intelligent vehicle lamps are symmetrically disposed with respect to the central axis plane of the vehicle body; wherein, the central axis plane of the vehicle body is parallel to the vehicle length direction and the vehicle height direction of the vehicle, and is a plane passing through the width center point of the vehicle. With such a design, the application scenario with more than one intelligent vehicle lamp in the vehicle can be adapted, and the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle can be ensured through the symmetrical arrangement.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first direction is parallel to the vehicle width direction or the vehicle height direction of the vehicle. With such a design, the characteristics that the inner space of the bumper in the vehicle extends shorter in the vehicle length direction and extends longer in the direction perpendicular to the vehicle length direction can be fully utilized; thereby facilitating the reduction of the installation difficulty of the intelligent vehicle lamp on the vehicle and improving the problem that the installation of the intelligent vehicle lamp has a greater impact on the vehicle styling.

Here, the vehicle body central axis plane S refers to a plane parallel to the vehicle length direction and the vehicle height direction and passing through the width center point of the vehicle 100.
[0086] The vehicle 100 is provided with a third opening 2 on the front bumper 1. The third opening 2 is located at the position of the vehicle body central axis plane S and penetrates the front bumper 1 along the vehicle length direction. The spaces inside and outside the front bumper 1 can be connected through the third opening 2.

[0087] The plane where the third opening 2 is located can be parallel to the vehicle height direction or can extend obliquely with respect to the vehicle height direction; the actual relationship between the plane where the third opening 2 is located and the vehicle height direction is related to the position of the front bumper 1 and the shape of the front bumper 1.
[0088] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the vehicle 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes an intelligent headlamp 3. The intelligent headlamp 3 refers to a headlamp device that has functions such as adaptive high beam and projection in addition to the lighting function. The intelligent headlamp 3 is fixedly installed on the vehicle body structure and is located inside the front bumper 1; here, the fixed installation can be fixed on the front bumper 1 or can be fixed on other vehicle body structures inside the front bumper 1, such as a sheet metal structure. The vehicle light beam generated by the intelligent headlamp 3 installed inside the front bumper 1 can be irradiated to the outside of the front bumper 1 through the third opening 2, so as to achieve the purpose of irradiating the area in front of the vehicle 100.

[0090] As Figure 6As shown, the headlight module 5 includes a light source 53, a light modulator 52, and a projection lens 51. Among them, the light source 53 is used to provide a light source beam projected onto the light modulator 52; the light modulator 52 is used to modulate the light source beam to form a headlight beam and project it onto the projection lens 51; the projection lens 51 is exposed outside the headlight module 5, and the headlight beam projected by the light modulator 52 onto the projection lens 51 is emitted through the projection lens 51.
[0091] In the headlight module 5, the light modulator 52 can be at least one of a liquid crystal on silicon (abbreviated as LCoS), a digital micromirror device (abbreviated as DMD), and a liquid crystal display (abbreviated as LCD). In this embodiment, the headlight module 5 is an image generation device using DLP (Digital Light Processing) projection technology, and its light modulator 52 is a digital micromirror device (DMD). The headlight module 5 using DLP projection technology has advantages such as good display effect and high reliability.
[0092] For the sake of convenience of description, the optical axis L0 of the projection lens 51 is simply referred to as the lens optical axis L0 in this article, and the direction parallel to the lens optical axis L0 is defined as the first direction X. As Figures 3 to 5 shown, the extension distance of the headlight module 5 in the first direction X is the first distance; in the cross-section perpendicular to the first direction X, the maximum extension distance of the headlight module 5 is the second distance; the first distance is greater than the second distance. In some headlight modules 5, the first distance can be more than twice the second distance, and the overall shape structure of the headlight module 5 presents a "long strip" shape.
[0093] For the intelligent headlight 3 with the above headlight module 5, the installation attitude can be described according to the relative position relationship between the first direction X and the vehicle 100 when it is installed on the vehicle 100. For example, when the first direction X is parallel to the vehicle height direction, the intelligent headlight 3 is installed on the vehicle 100 in a vertical attitude; when the first direction X is parallel to the vehicle width direction, the intelligent headlight 3 is installed on the vehicle 100 in a horizontal transverse attitude; when the first direction X is parallel to the vehicle length direction, the intelligent headlight 3 is installed on the vehicle 100 in a horizontal longitudinal attitude.
[0094] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5, the lamp housing 4 in the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is connected to the lamp module 5 and encloses a first accommodation cavity 45, and at least the projection lens 51 in the lamp module 5 is located in the first accommodation cavity 45. The lamp housing 4 includes a lens outer portion located outside the projection lens 51 in the first direction X. Here, being located outside the projection lens 51 in the first direction X means being on the side away from the lamp module 5 relative to the projection lens 51 in the first direction X.
[0095] The lens outer portion includes a connected front plate 43 and a side wall 44. The front plate 43 is disposed opposite to the projection lens 51 in front of the projection lens 51. The front plate 43 can be a flat plate-like structure, an arc-shaped plate-like structure, or any curved plate-like structure of any shape. The side wall 44 is disposed on the side of the front plate 43 close to the projection lens 51 and extends from the front plate 43 toward the side where the lamp module 5 is located. The side wall 44 extending between the front plate 43 and the lamp module 5 can be parallel to the lens optical axis L0 or can be inclined at an angle other than 90 degrees to the lens optical axis L0. In addition, the side wall 44 is also a closed structure extending around the lens optical axis L0. In a cross-section perpendicular to the lens optical axis L0, the extending trajectory of the side wall 44 around the lens optical axis L0 can be a square trajectory, a circular trajectory, or any other arbitrary-shaped trajectory around the lens optical axis L0.
[0096] It should be noted that in this article, in order to describe the structural features of the lens outer portion and the positional relationship between the lens outer portion and the projection lens 51, the lens outer portion is divided into two parts, the front plate 43 and the side wall 44, for description. However, the front plate 43 and the side wall 44 can be an integral structure, and there may be no obvious physical demarcation line between the front plate 43 and the side wall 44; and both the front plate 43 and the side wall 44 can be formed by combining two or more different parts.
[0097] In this embodiment, the lamp housing 4 includes a first part 41 and a second part 42 that are snap-fitted in the first direction X. The first part 41 includes the above-mentioned front plate 43 and side wall 44. That is to say, the lens outer portion is a part of the first part 41.
[0098] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5 , a first opening 7 communicating with the first accommodation cavity 45 is further provided on the side wall 44 of the lamp housing 4. For the convenience of description, in this article, the direction perpendicular to the plane where the first opening 7 is located is defined as the second direction Y, and the second direction Y is also the opening direction of the first opening 7. The first opening 7 penetrates the side wall 44 along the second direction Y and communicates the first accommodation cavity 45 and the external space located on both sides of the side wall 44. The second direction Y can be perpendicular to the lens optical axis L0 or can be inclined relative to the lens optical axis L0 (the included angle between the two is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees). The angular relationship between the second direction Y and the lens optical axis L0 is related to the angular relationship between the side wall 44 where the first opening 7 is located and the lens optical axis L0.
[0099] In the following, an example will be given to exemplarily illustrate the solution, where the plane where the first opening 7 is located is parallel to the lens optical axis L0, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the lens optical axis L0, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. Those skilled in the art can adjust the solution to a solution where the second direction Y is inclined with respect to the lens optical axis L0 (the included angle between the two is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees) according to the following description.
[0100] According to the description of the vehicle headlight module 5 above, the first opening 7 is in a position not opposite to the projection lens 51. The vehicle headlight beam emitted by the vehicle headlight module 5 through the projection lens 51 cannot be directly projected onto the first opening 7, so it cannot be projected to the outside of the first accommodation cavity 45 through the first opening 7.
[0101] Based on this, a reflection device 8 is provided in the intelligent vehicle headlight 3 provided in the embodiments of the present application. The reflection device 8 is installed in the first accommodation cavity 45 of the vehicle headlight housing 4 and is located between the first opening 7 and the projection lens 51. The reflection device 8 may include at least one reflector 81, and the reflector 81 may be a plane reflector, a curved reflector, or other optical devices capable of realizing the reflection function. The reflection device 8 can change the propagation direction of the vehicle headlight beam through the reflection of the reflector 81. In the intelligent vehicle headlight 3 provided in the embodiments of the present application, the vehicle headlight beam emitted from the projection lens 51 can be incident on the reflection device 8, and the reflection device 8 can reflect the incident vehicle headlight beam to the first opening 7, and the vehicle headlight beam reflected to the first opening 7 can irradiate to the outside of the first accommodation cavity 45.
[0102] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5 , the intelligent vehicle headlight 3 further includes a transparent lamp cover 6. The transparent lamp cover 6 is installed outside the vehicle headlight housing 4 and is located directly in front of the first opening 7; the orientation of the transparent lamp cover 6 is the same as the opening orientation of the first opening 7, both being the second direction Y. Here, directly in front of the first opening 7 means a position on the side of the plane where the first opening 7 is located away from the first accommodation cavity 45 and opposite to the first opening 7 in the second direction Y. The transparent lamp cover 6 is a protective cover for the first opening 7, and the vehicle headlight beam reflected to the first opening 7 is projected to the outside of the first accommodation cavity 45 through the transparent lamp cover 6.
[0103] In some embodiments, the transparent lamp cover 6 can block the first opening 7 on the vehicle headlight housing 4, so that the first accommodation cavity 45 is in a closed state, so as to achieve the waterproof and dustproof effects on the structures located in the first accommodation cavity 45.
[0104] When the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 with the above structure is installed on the vehicle 100, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the front bumper 1, and the transparent lamp cover 6 and the third opening 2 on the front bumper 1 are arranged opposite to each other in the vehicle length direction; that is to say, the second direction Y is parallel to the vehicle length direction, and the transparent lamp cover 6 and the third opening 2 are in an aligned state in the vehicle length direction. The vehicle light beam emitted from the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 through the transparent lamp cover 6 can be projected to the outside of the front bumper 1 through the third opening 2, so that the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 installed on the inner side of the front bumper 1 can work properly.
[0105] When the transparent lamp cover 6 of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 and the third opening 2 on the front bumper 1 are arranged opposite to each other, the lens optical axis L0 is parallel to the plane perpendicular to the vehicle length direction, that is, the plane parallel to both the vehicle width direction and the vehicle height direction. According to the above description, the extension distance of the lamp module 5 in the first direction X (the direction where the lens optical axis L0 is located) is longer; the extension distances in other directions are shorter. It can be seen that when the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 with the above structure is installed on the vehicle 100, the extension distance of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 in the vehicle length direction is smaller, and the extension distance in the plane perpendicular to the vehicle length direction is larger; therefore, the characteristics that the space inside the front bumper 1 of the vehicle 100 extends shorter in the vehicle length direction and extends longer in the direction perpendicular to the vehicle length direction can be fully utilized; the installation of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 can be realized in the existing space of the vehicle 100 or with a small adjustment to the shape of the vehicle 100, which is beneficial to reducing the installation difficulty of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 on the vehicle 100 and improving the problem that the installation of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 has a greater impact on the shape of the vehicle 100.
[0106] In the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the reflection device 8 can be installed on the lamp module 5 or on the lamp housing 4. The number and installation position of the reflectors 81 in the reflection device 8 can be determined according to the actual situations such as the installation attitude of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 on the vehicle 100, the directivity characteristics of the vehicle light beam emitted from the lamp module 5, and the relative positions of the first opening 7 and the projection lens 51.
[0107] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is installed on the inner side of the front bumper 1 of the vehicle 100 in a vertical posture, that is to say, the first direction X is parallel to the vehicle height direction. And, the projection lens 51 is located at the top of the lamp module 5. In this case, the reflection device 8 is located above the lamp module 5 and can include only one reflector 81. Both the projection lens 51 and the first opening 7 are located on the same side of the reflecting surface in the reflector 81. The vehicle light beam emitted from the projection lens 51 is incident on the reflector 81, and the reflector 81 reflects the vehicle light beam into the first opening 7, and the vehicle light beam reflected into the first opening 7 is emitted through the transparent lamp cover 6.
[0108] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is installed inside the front bumper 1 of the vehicle 100 in a horizontal and transverse posture. That is to say, the first direction X is parallel to the vehicle width direction. In this case, the reflection device 8 is located on one side of the lamp module 5 in the vehicle width direction and may include two reflectors 81, namely the first reflector 81a and the second reflector 81b. The first reflector 81a and the second reflector 81b are sequentially arranged between the projection lens 51 and the first opening 7 and are arranged in the vehicle height direction. The vehicle light beam emitted from the projection lens 51 is incident on the first reflector 81a along the vehicle width direction, and the first reflector 81a reflects the vehicle light beam to the second reflector 81b located above, and the second reflector 81b reflects the vehicle light beam into the first opening 7.
[0109] Please refer to Figure 9 , in the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the reflection device 8 may further include a first driving device 82 for driving the reflector 81 to rotate around the first axis L1. The first axis L1 is located on the reflection surface of the reflector 81 and is perpendicular to the normal of the reflector 81. By driving the reflector 81 to rotate around the first axis L1, the reflection angle of the reflector 81 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the angle of the vehicle light beam emitted from the transparent lamp cover 6, and further the irradiation range of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 can be expanded.
[0110] The first driving device 82 may adopt any device capable of driving the reflector 81 to rotate around the first axis L1. Exemplarily, as Figure 9 shown, the first driving device 82 includes a first bracket 87, a second bracket 86, a first motor 85 and a first transmission mechanism. The reflector 81 is installed on the first bracket 87, and a first rotating shaft with the first axis L1 as the central axis is fixedly arranged on the first bracket 87. The first bracket 87 is rotatably installed on the second bracket 86 around the first axis L1 through the first rotating shaft. The first bracket 87 and the first rotating shaft may be an integral structure or an independent structure fixedly connected together.
[0111] The first motor 85 is also installed on the second bracket 86, and the first transmission mechanism is arranged between the first motor 85 and the first bracket 87. The first transmission mechanism includes a first gear 84 and a second gear 83 that are meshed with each other. The first gear 84 is installed on the motor shaft of the first motor 85, and the second gear 83 is installed on the first rotating shaft.
[0112] During the operation of the first driving device 82, the motor shaft of the first motor 85 drives the first gear 84 to rotate. The first gear 84 drives the first bracket 87 and the mirror 81 on the first bracket 87 to rotate around the first axis L1 through the second gear 83; thereby realizing the adjustment of the reflection angle of the mirror 81, so as to adjust the angle of the vehicle headlight beam emitted from the transparent lamp cover 6; and further achieving the purpose of expanding the irradiation range of the intelligent vehicle headlight 3.
[0113] The first transmission mechanism can also adopt other transmission mechanisms that can convert the rotation of the motor shaft in the first motor 85 into the rotation of the first bracket 87 around the axis, such as a worm and worm gear transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, and a chain transmission mechanism, etc. In some other embodiments, the first driving device 82 can omit the first transmission mechanism, and the first motor 85 directly drives the mirror 81 to rotate around the axis through the motor shaft.
[0114] From the above description, it can be seen that the second bracket 86 is the mounting bracket of the reflecting device 8, and is used to provide the mounting structure and mounting support for other structures of the reflecting device 8. The reflecting device 8 can be mounted on the headlight module 5 through the second bracket 86, or can be mounted on the headlight housing 4 through the second bracket 86.
[0115] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 shown, the second bracket 86 is sleeved on the part of the headlight module 5 located outside the projection lens 51, and is installed in a manner that the installation angle around the first direction X is adjustable. With such a design, when the reflecting device 8 is assembled with the headlight module 5, the installation angle of the reflecting device 8 relative to the headlight module 5 can be adjusted, which is beneficial to reducing the installation difficulty of the intelligent vehicle headlight 3 and improving the assembly accuracy of the intelligent vehicle headlight 3; at the same time, it is beneficial to reducing the requirements for the processing accuracy and assembly accuracy of the intelligent vehicle headlight 3.
[0116] For the reflecting device 8 with two or more mirrors 81, the first driving device 82 can be used to drive at least one mirror 81 to rotate around the first axis L1, and the reflection angle is changed by driving the mirror 81 to rotate around the first axis L1, so as to adjust the angle of the vehicle headlight beam emitted from the transparent lamp cover 6. The structure and working principle of the first driving device 82 can refer to the above description and will not be elaborated here.
[0117] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12 , in the intelligent vehicle headlight 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, a second driving device 10 can also be included, which is arranged between the headlight housing 4 and the transparent lamp cover 6, and the second driving device 10 is used to drive the transparent lamp cover 6 to move; the transparent lamp cover 6 has a first state and a second state under the drive of the second driving device 10. For the intelligent vehicle headlight 3, the transparent lamp cover 6 in the first state is located directly in front of the first opening 7; relative to the first state, the transparent lamp cover 6 is closer to the first opening 7 when in the second state. Please also refer toFigure 1 and Figure 2 When the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is installed inside the front bumper 1 of the vehicle 100, the transparent lamp cover 6 in the first state is located in the third opening 2, and the transparent lamp cover 6 in the second state disengages from the third opening 2.
[0118] By providing the second driving device 10, the transparent lamp cover 6 can be controlled to enter the third opening 2 when the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is operating. After the transparent lamp cover 6 enters the third opening 2, it can block the third opening 2, improving the problem of air leakage during the driving of the vehicle 100.
[0119] In some embodiments, when the transparent lamp cover 6 is in the first state, it is located in the third opening 2, and the outer side surface of the transparent lamp cover 6 is flush with the outer side surface of the front bumper 1. In this case, the outer side surface of the transparent lamp cover 6 can adopt a surface design that matches the outer side surface of the front bumper 1. Here, "matching" means the same shaping trend and can also have the same material. With such a design, when the transparent lamp cover 6 is in the first state, the consistency of the outer side surface shape with the front bumper 1 can be ensured, thus ensuring the consistency of the front face shape of the vehicle 100, avoiding problems that affect the appearance shape of the front bumper 1 due to the setting of the third opening 2 and the transparent lamp cover 6, improving the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance of the front bumper 1, and achieving a better appearance effect.
[0120] The second driving device 10 can be a device capable of driving the transparent lamp cover 6 to translate relative to the lamp housing 4 along the second direction Y. During the process of the transparent lamp cover 6 translating along the second direction Y, it has a first state and a second state.
[0121] Exemplarily, as Figures 10 to 12 shown, the second driving device 10 includes a third bracket 101, a fourth bracket 103, a second motor 104, and a slide bar 102; wherein, the transparent lamp cover 6 is installed on the third bracket 101, the second motor 104 is provided on the fourth bracket 103, and the fourth bracket 103 is installed on the lamp housing 4.
[0122] The slide bar 102 is provided between the third bracket 101 and the fourth bracket 103 and is a rod-shaped structure extending along the second direction Y. One end of the slide bar 102 in the second direction Y is fixedly connected to the third bracket 101, and the other end passes through a sliding hole provided in the fourth bracket 103; through the sliding fit between the sliding hole and the slide bar 102, the third bracket 101 can translate relative to the fourth bracket 103 along the second direction Y.
[0123] The second motor 104 is a linear motor having a first push rod 105, and the first push rod 105 is capable of linear sliding. In this embodiment, when the second motor 104 operates, it drives the first push rod 105 to rotate and slide along the second direction Y. One end of the first push rod 105 away from the fourth bracket is connected to the third bracket 101 through a bearing.
[0124] When the second driving device 10 operates, the second motor 104 drives the first push rod 105 to drive the third bracket 101 to translate relative to the fourth bracket 103 along the second direction Y; during the process of the transparent lamp cover 6 translating along the second direction Y with the third bracket 101, it has a first state and a second state.
[0125] In some embodiments, the slide rod 102 is a sleeve structure in which two or more sleeves are slidably sleeved together in the second direction Y. Both ends of the slide rod 102 are fixedly connected to the third bracket 101 and the fourth bracket 103 respectively; through the sliding between the sleeves in the sleeve structure, the third bracket 101 can translate relative to the fourth bracket 103 along the second direction Y; and the sleeve structure can achieve the effect of reducing the space occupied by the structure during movement.
[0126] In some embodiments, the second driving device 10 includes a third bracket 101, a fourth bracket 103, a second motor 104, and a second transmission mechanism. Among them, the transparent lamp cover 6 is installed on the third bracket 101, the second motor 104 is arranged on the fourth bracket 103, and the fourth bracket 103 is installed on the vehicle lamp housing 4.
[0127] The second motor 104 is a rotating motor having a rotating motor shaft; the second transmission mechanism is arranged between the second motor 104 and the third bracket 101, and any transmission mechanism that can convert the rotation of the motor shaft of the second motor 104 into the translational movement of the third bracket 101 can be selected, such as a threaded lead screw transmission mechanism, a gear rack transmission mechanism, a crank slider mechanism, and a cam slider mechanism, etc. The third bracket 101 and the fourth bracket 103 can also be provided with limiting structures such as a slide rod structure and a slide rail structure.
[0128] Exemplarily, in the second driving device 10 where the second transmission mechanism adopts a threaded lead screw transmission mechanism, the threaded lead screw transmission mechanism can include a fixed sleeve fixedly installed on the third bracket 101 and a lead screw connected to the second motor 104. The fixed sleeve is sleeved on the lead screw and is provided with an internal thread structure that is in threaded cooperation with the lead screw. During the operation of the second driving device 10, the second motor 104 drives the lead screw to rotate, and through the threaded cooperation between the fixed sleeve and the lead screw, it drives the third bracket 101 and the transparent lamp cover 6 to translate along the second direction Y. And, by adopting the sleeve structure, the effect of reducing the space occupied by the structure during movement can be achieved.
[0129] The intelligent vehicle lamp 3 further includes a sealing soft rubber 9, which is a cylindrical structure extending around a straight line parallel to the second direction Y. The two ends of the sealing soft rubber 9 in the second direction Y are respectively connected to the lamp housing 4 and the transparent lamp cover 6, and the lamp housing 4, the transparent lamp cover 6 and the sealing soft rubber 9 enclose a sealed cavity for the space between the sealed transparent lamp cover 6 and the first opening 7. The second driving device 10 can also be arranged in this sealed cavity. Moreover, the sealing soft rubber 9 is an elastic rubber sleeve capable of having a certain amount of expansion and contraction in the second direction Y.
[0130] It can be seen from this that by providing the sealing soft rubber 9, a sealed cavity for the space between the sealed transparent lamp cover 6 and the first opening 7 can be formed, so as to ensure the sealing performance of the first accommodating cavity 45, make the first accommodating cavity 45 in a sealed state, and achieve the waterproof and dustproof effects on the structures in the first accommodating cavity 45. In addition, the sealing soft rubber 9 can expand and contract in the second direction Y, so that good sealing performance can be always maintained during the movement of the transparent lamp cover 6 along the second direction Y.
[0131] Please refer to Figures 13 to 15 , the second driving device 10 can also be a device capable of driving the transparent lamp cover 6 to rotate around the second axis L2, wherein the second axis L2 is parallel to the third direction Z, and the third direction Z can be any direction parallel to the plane where the first opening 7 is located; and the second axis L2 is located outside the transparent lamp cover 6. With such a design, during the rotation of the transparent lamp cover 6 around the second axis L2, the position of the transparent lamp cover 6 will shift relative to the first opening 7. This shift in position can enable the transparent lamp cover 6 to enter and exit from the third opening 2 when the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is installed on the vehicle 100. It can be seen from this that the transparent lamp cover 6 has a first state and a second state during the rotation around the second axis L2.
[0132] In this embodiment, as Figures 13 to 15 shown, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other in pairs. The second driving device 10 is installed on the lamp housing 4 and includes a rotating drum 106 and a second motor 104. The rotating drum 106 is arranged opposite to the first opening 7, and can be arranged directly in front of the first opening 7, or partially extend into the first accommodating cavity 45 through the first opening 7. The rotating drum 106 is a cylindrical structure with the second axis L2 as the central axis, and the transparent lamp cover 6 is installed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum 106. An optical path channel 107 communicating with the transparent lamp cover 6 is also arranged on the rotating drum 106, and the optical path channel 107 extends in a direction perpendicular to the second axis L2 in the rotating drum 106 and penetrates the rotating drum 106 on the side opposite to the transparent lamp cover 6.
[0133] The second motor 104 is connected to the rotating drum 106 and is used to drive the rotating drum 106 to rotate around the second axis L2. The transparent lamp cover 6 has a first state and a second state during the process of rotating around the second axis L2 with the rotating drum 106; as Figure 15 shown in part (a) of the figure, the transparent lamp cover 6 in the first state is located directly in front of the first opening 7, that is, in the second direction Y, the first opening 7 and the transparent lamp cover 6 are in an aligned position. And, the optical path channel 107 rotates to a state parallel to the second direction Y, forming an optical path that can connect the reflecting device 8 and the transparent lamp cover 6; the vehicle headlight beam reflected by the reflecting device 8 can enter the rotating drum 106 through the optical path channel 107, and irradiate the transparent lamp cover 6 along the optical path channel 107, and exit the rotating drum 106 from the transparent lamp cover 6. When the intelligent vehicle headlight 3 is installed on the vehicle 100, the transparent lamp cover 6 in the first state is located in the third opening 2, and can block the third opening 2, improving the problem of air leakage during the driving of the vehicle 100.
[0134] As Figure 15 shown in part (b) of the figure, the transparent lamp cover 6 in the second state rotates with the rotating drum 106 to a position not opposite to the first opening 7, that is, rotates to a position deviated from the direct front of the first opening 7; the optical path channel 107 also rotates to a state not parallel to the second direction Y; the vehicle headlight beam reflected by the reflecting device 8 cannot be irradiated to the outside through the rotating drum 106. When the intelligent vehicle headlight 3 is installed on the vehicle 100, the transparent lamp cover 6 in the second state disengages from the third opening 2.
[0135] Please continue to refer to Figures 13 to 15 , in some embodiments, the second driving device 10 further includes a drum housing 11 and a sealing soft rubber 9. The drum housing 11 is connected to the vehicle headlight housing 4 and forms a second accommodating cavity 112 and a second opening 111 communicating with the second accommodating cavity 112. The rotating drum 106 and the first opening 7 are both located in the second accommodating cavity 112; the second opening 111 is located directly in front of the first opening 7, and the transparent lamp cover 6 in the first state can be exposed through the second opening 111. When the transparent lamp cover 6 rotates to the second state, the transparent lamp cover 6 is located inside the second accommodating cavity 112, and the structures at other positions on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum 106 are exposed through the second opening 111.
[0136] The intelligent vehicle headlight 3 further includes a sealing soft rubber 9. The sealing soft rubber 9 includes a plurality of sealing pieces 91 installed on the rotating drum 106. The sealing pieces 91 extend in a plane parallel to the second axis L2, and extend on both end faces and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum 106 in the third direction Z. The extended parts extend from the rotating drum 106 towards the drum housing 11 and abut against the inner wall of the drum housing 11. In addition, the plurality of sealing pieces 91 in the sealing soft rubber 9 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the rotating drum 106.
[0137] By providing the sealing soft rubber 9, the gap between the rotating drum 106 and the drum housing 11 can be sealed, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the first accommodation cavity 45. Moreover, a plurality of sealing pieces 91 in the sealing soft rubber 9 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotating drum 106, so that during the movement of the transparent lamp cover 6 between the first state and the second state, there is always a sealing piece 91 on the rotating drum 106 abutting against the inner wall of the drum housing 11, and thus good sealing performance can be maintained during the movement of the transparent lamp cover 6.
[0138] Please refer to Figure 16 , in the vehicle 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, a shielding component 13 is further provided between the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 and the third opening 2. The shielding component 13 includes an opaque shielding cover 12 and a third driving device. The opaque shielding cover 12 is installed on the third driving device, and the third driving device is used to drive the opaque shielding cover 12 to move. The opaque shielding cover 12 has a third state of closing the third opening 2 and a fourth state of opening the third opening 2 under the drive of the third driving device. Here, closing the third opening 2 means that the third opening 2 is blocked by the opaque shielding cover 12 so that the third opening 2 cannot penetrate the front bumper 1; opening the third opening 2 means that the opaque shielding cover 12 does not block the third opening 2 or does not block all of the third opening 2, and the third opening 2 still remains in a state of penetrating the front bumper 1.
[0139] When the opaque shielding cover 12 is in the third state, due to the closing of the third opening 2, the vehicle light beam emitted by the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 cannot irradiate the front of the vehicle 100 through the third opening 2, and the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 cannot work properly.
[0140] When the opaque shielding cover 12 is in the fourth state, due to the opening of the third opening 2, the vehicle light beam emitted by the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 can irradiate the front of the vehicle 100 through the third opening 2. That is to say, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 can work through the third opening 2 when the opaque shielding cover 12 is in the fourth state.
[0141] In the vehicle 100 with the shielding component 13, the shielding component 13 controls the movement of the opaque shielding cover 12 through the third driving device, so that when the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 needs to work, the third opening 2 can be opened; when the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 does not need to work, the third opening 2 can be closed; thereby, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 can be hidden when it is not working, and the damage to the overall shape of the front face of the vehicle 100 caused by the third opening 2 can be avoided; the problem that the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is continuously eroded by the oncoming wind during the driving of the vehicle 100 can also be avoided, which plays a protective role for the intelligent vehicle lamp 3; and the damage to the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 caused by the vehicle 100 being scratched can also be avoided.
[0142] In addition, the cover assembly 13 drives the non-transparent cover 12 to move through the third driving device to open and close the third opening 2, which can increase the technological sense of the vehicle 100 and improve the user experience.
[0143] The cover assembly 13 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be installed on the body structure of the vehicle 100 or on the intelligent vehicle lamp 3. When the cover assembly 13 is installed on the intelligent vehicle lamp 3, the cover assembly 13 and the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 can be combined into an integral device; that is to say, the cover assembly 13 can be designed as a part of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3; with such a design, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 and the cover assembly 13 can be assembled on the vehicle 100 through one installation, which is beneficial to the assembly and installation of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 and the cover assembly 13 on the vehicle 100.
[0144] In some embodiments, when in the third state, the non-transparent cover 12 is located in the third opening 2 and can block the third opening 2. Therefore, the non-transparent cover 12 has a shape and size matching the third opening 2. For example, when the shape of the third opening 2 is circular, the non-transparent cover 12 is a circular cover structure of the same size as the third opening 2. Another example is that when the shape of the third opening 2 is square, the non-transparent cover 12 is a square cover structure of the same size as the third opening 2.
[0145] In some embodiments, when in the third state, the non-transparent cover 12 is located in the third opening 2, and the outer side surface of the non-transparent cover 12 is flush with the outer side surface of the front bumper 1. In this case, the outer side surface of the non-transparent cover 12 can adopt a surface design matching the outer side surface of the front bumper 1. Here, "matching" means the same styling trend, and it can also have the same material and color scheme. With such a design, when the non-transparent cover 12 is in the third state, it can ensure the consistency of the outer side surface shape with the front bumper 1, thus ensuring the consistency of the front face shape of the vehicle 100, avoiding the problem of affecting the appearance shape of the front bumper 1 caused by the setting of the third opening 2 and the non-transparent cover 12, improving the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance of the front bumper 1, and achieving a better appearance effect; at the same time, it can better hide the intelligent vehicle lamp 3.
[0146] In other embodiments, the outer side surface of the non-transparent cover 12 can be designed in the shape of a vehicle logo or the vehicle logo can be arranged on it to realize the identification function of the vehicle logo. With such a design, on the one hand, there is no need to separately set a vehicle logo at the front of the vehicle 100, achieving the effect of simplifying the structure; on the other hand, the vehicle logo can move during the movement of the non-transparent cover 12, thus realizing the function of a movable vehicle logo, increasing the technological sense of the vehicle 100 and bringing a better user experience.
[0147] In the shielding cover assembly 13 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the third driving device can adopt a method of driving the non-transparent shielding cover 12 to shift relative to the third opening 2 to realize the switching of the non-transparent shielding cover 12 between the third state and the fourth state. In this embodiment, when the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is installed on the vehicle 100, the transparent lamp cover 6 and the third opening 2 are oppositely arranged in the vehicle length direction; therefore, the third driving device can adopt a method of driving the non-transparent shielding cover 12 to slide in the third direction Z to realize the shift relative to the third opening 2.
[0148] Exemplarily, as Figures 16 to 19 shown, the shielding cover assembly 13 can be installed on the body structure of the vehicle 100. The third driving device in the shielding cover assembly 13 includes a fifth bracket 136, a link mechanism 134, and a third motor 131. Among them, sliding protrusions 135 are arranged on both sides of the non-transparent shielding cover 12 along the third direction Z. The sliding protrusions 135 and the non-transparent shielding cover 12 can be an integral structure or two independent parts connected fixedly.
[0149] The fifth bracket 136 is a frame structure surrounding the non-transparent shielding cover 12. The frame structure includes two oppositely arranged chute rods. Both chute rods extend along the third direction Z and are respectively arranged on both sides of the non-transparent shielding cover 12. A sliding groove 133 for cooperating with the sliding protrusion 135 is arranged on the side of the chute rod facing the non-transparent shielding cover 12. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove 133 and the sliding protrusion 135, the non-transparent shielding cover 12 can be slidably installed on the fifth bracket 136 and can slide on the fifth bracket 136. The sliding track of the non-transparent shielding cover 12 on the fifth bracket 136 is related to the extending track of the sliding groove 133.
[0150] As Figure 18 shown, the sliding groove 133 on the fifth bracket 136 includes a first chute section 133a, a connecting chute section 133b, and a second chute section 133c; among them, the first chute section 133a, the connecting chute section 133b, and the second chute section 133c are connected in sequence in the third direction Z; the first chute section 133a is located at a position facing the third opening 2, and the connecting chute section 133b and the second chute section 133c are located on one side of the position facing the third opening 2. And, in the second direction Y, the first chute section 133a is closer to the third opening 2 than the second chute section 133c.
[0151] Designed in this way, when the non-transparent shielding cover 12 slides onto the first chute section 133a, it can enter the third opening 2, that is, move to the third state; when the non-transparent shielding cover 12 slides onto the second chute section 133c, it can escape from the third opening 2 and shift to one side of the third opening 2, that is, move to the fourth state.
[0152] The third motor 131 is a linear motor having a second push rod 132, and the second push rod 132 can slide linearly. In this embodiment, the third motor 131 is mounted on the fifth bracket 136, and the sliding direction of the second push rod 132 is parallel to the third direction Z; and the second push rod 132 is connected to the non-transparent cover 12 through a link mechanism 134. By providing the link mechanism 134 between the non-transparent cover 12 and the second push rod 132, when the second push rod 132 of the third motor 131 slides linearly, it can pull the non-transparent cover 12 at any position on the fifth bracket 136 to slide relative to the fifth bracket 136 along the third direction Z. The non-transparent cover 12 has a third state and a fourth state during the sliding process on the fifth bracket 136.
[0153] As Figure 16 shown, when the non-transparent cover 12 slides on the fifth bracket 136 to the third state, the non-transparent cover 12 enters the third opening 2 and closes the third opening 2; at this time, the transparent lamp cover 6 cannot enter the third opening 2, and the second driving device 10 can drive the transparent lamp cover 6 to move to the second state.
[0154] As Figure 19 shown, when the non-transparent cover 12 slides on the fifth bracket 136 to the fourth state, the non-transparent cover 12 disengages from the third opening 2, and the second driving device 10 can drive the transparent cover to switch between the first state and the second state. For example, drive the transparent lamp cover 6 into the third opening 2.
[0155] In some embodiments, the third driving device in the cover assembly 13 may include a first driving part and a second driving part. Among them, the non-transparent cover 12 is mounted on the first driving part, and the first driving part is used to drive the non-transparent cover 12 to translate along the vehicle length direction. The non-transparent cover 12 has a third state and a fifth state under the drive of the first driving part. The description of the third state can refer to the above text. The non-transparent cover 12 in the fifth state is located outside the third opening 2 and at a position opposite to the third opening 2 inside the front bumper 1. In this case, the non-transparent cover 12 will block the light generated by the intelligent vehicle lamp 3, affecting the transmission of the vehicle light beam of the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 to the third opening 2.
[0156] The first driving part and the non-transparent cover 12 are mounted on the second driving part, and the second driving part is used to drive the first driving part and the non-transparent cover 12 to move. Its movement mode can be translation along a direction perpendicular to the vehicle length direction, or rotation around an axis parallel to the vehicle length direction. The first driving part and the non-transparent cover 12 have a fifth state and a fourth state during the movement process.
[0157] It can be seen from this that the third driving device including the first driving part and the second driving part can also drive the non-transparent cover 12 to move between the third state and the fourth state.
[0158] Please refer to Figure 20 , the third driving device can also be a device capable of driving the non-transparent cover 12 to rotate around the third axis L3, where the third axis L3 is parallel to the fourth direction, and the fourth direction can be any direction parallel to the plane where the third opening 2 is located; and the third axis L3 is located outside the non-transparent cover 12. With such a design, during the rotation of the non-transparent cover 12 around the third axis L3, the position of the non-transparent cover 12 will shift relative to the third opening 2. This shift in position can enable the non-transparent cover 12 to enter and exit the third opening 2 when the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is installed on the vehicle 100. It can be seen from this that the non-transparent cover 12 has a third state and a fourth state during the rotation around the third axis L3.
[0159] As can be known from the above description, when the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is installed on the vehicle 100, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is fixedly installed inside the front bumper 1, the transparent lamp cover 6 is disposed opposite to the third opening 2 on the front bumper 1, and the orientation of the transparent lamp cover 6 is the same as the orientation of the first opening 7; therefore, the fourth direction can be parallel to the third direction Z. That is to say, the third driving device can be a device capable of driving the non-transparent cover 12 to rotate around the third axis L3 parallel to the third direction Z.
[0160] Exemplarily, as Figure 20 shown, the cover assembly 13 is installed on the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 and combined with the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 into an integral device. That is to say, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 includes the cover assembly 13, and the third driving device in the cover assembly 13 includes a fourth motor 137, a sixth bracket 138, and a seventh bracket 139. The sixth bracket 138 is installed on the lamp housing 4, the non-transparent cover 12 is installed on the seventh bracket 139, and the seventh bracket 139 is rotatably installed on the sixth bracket 138 around the third axis L3 parallel to the third direction Z. The fourth motor 137 is installed on the sixth bracket 138 and directly drives the seventh bracket 139, that is, the non-transparent cover 12 rotates around the axis, so as to realize the switching of the non-transparent cover 12 between the third state and the fourth state. In this embodiment, the non-transparent cover 12 and the seventh bracket 139 are of an integral structure, and the sixth bracket 138 and the lamp housing 4 are of an integral structure.
[0161] In some embodiments, an intermediate transmission mechanism may be provided between the seventh bracket 139 and the fourth motor 137 for adjusting the transmission ratio between the fourth motor 137 and the seventh bracket 139 to improve the reliability and accuracy of driving the seventh bracket 139 to rotate by the fourth motor 137. The intermediate transmission mechanism may be a gear transmission mechanism, a worm and worm gear transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, a chain transmission mechanism, etc.
[0162] In the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is integrated with a cover assembly 13, and the second driving device 10 and the third driving device may also be integrated together and driven by the same second motor 104.
[0163] For example, as Figure 21 and Figure 22 shown, in a third driving device provided in the embodiment of the present application, it includes a fourth motor 137, a sixth bracket (not shown in the figure), a seventh bracket 139, an eighth bracket 141, and a driving disc 140; the descriptions of the fourth motor 137, the sixth bracket (not shown in the figure), the seventh bracket 139, and the non-transparent cover 12 can be referred to the above, and will not be elaborated here.
[0164] The driving disc 140 is installed on the motor shaft of the fourth motor 137 and can rotate around a fourth axis L4 parallel to the third direction Z under the drive of the fourth motor 137; it can be understood that when the fourth motor 137 directly drives the seventh bracket 139 to rotate, the fourth axis L4 and the third axis L3 are the same axis. A driving groove 143 is provided on the driving disc 140, and the driving groove 143 is an arc-shaped groove whose distance from the fourth axis L4 gradually increases during the extension around the fourth rotating shaft.
[0165] The transparent lamp cover 6 is installed on the eighth bracket 141, and the eighth bracket 141 is slidably installed on the vehicle lamp housing 4 along the second direction Y. The eighth bracket 141 is further provided with a driving protrusion 142 that cooperates with the driving groove 143. Through the cooperation of the driving protrusion 142 and the driving groove 143, the rotational motion of the fourth motor 137 can be converted into a linear motion of the transparent lamp cover 6 in the second direction Y. That is to say, the third driving device and the second driving device 10 are integrated into an integral structure. The fourth motor 137 can not only drive the non-transparent cover 12 to switch between the third state and the fourth state, but also drive the transparent lamp cover 6 to switch between the first state and the second state; and by adjusting the installation relationship between the driving groove 143, the seventh bracket 139 and the motor shaft of the fourth motor 137, it can be ensured that when the transparent lamp cover 6 moves to the first state, the non-transparent cover 12 moves to the fourth state; when the transparent lamp cover 6 moves to the second state, the non-transparent cover 12 moves to the third state; thereby improving the synchronization of the movement of the non-transparent cover 12 and the transparent lamp cover 6.
[0166] Also for example, asFigures 13 to 15 As shown, in the embodiment where the second driving device 10 uses the rotating drum 106, the non-transparent cover 12 can also be arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating drum 106. During the rotation of the non-transparent cover 12 around the third axis L3 parallel to the third direction Z with the rotating drum 106, it has a third state and a fourth state. Moreover, by adjusting the relative positions of the non-transparent cover 12 and the transparent lamp cover 6 on the rotating drum 106, when the transparent lamp cover 6 moves to the first state, the non-transparent cover 12 moves to the fourth state; when the transparent lamp cover 6 moves to the second state, the non-transparent cover 12 moves to the third state; thereby improving the synchronization of the movement of the non-transparent cover 12 and the transparent lamp cover 6.
[0167] The cover assembly 13 provided in the embodiment of the present application can also adopt a flip design, that is, the third driving device drives the non-transparent cover 12 to rotate around the fifth axis. The fifth axis is parallel to the plane where the third opening 2 is located and is located inside the non-transparent cover 12. When the cover assembly 13 is installed on the vehicle 100, the fifth axis is arranged near the edge of the third opening 2; when switching from the third state to the fourth state, the non-transparent cover 12 flips towards the outside of the third opening 2 to achieve the flipping effect.
[0168] For the cover assembly 13 adopting the flip design, during the switching process of the non-transparent cover 12 between the third state and the fourth state, a switching action similar to "winking" can be achieved, which is beneficial to improving the diversity of the switching action of the cover assembly 13 driving the non-transparent cover 12 to switch, and thus can improve the sense of technology of the vehicle 100.
[0169] In the cover assembly 13 provided in the above embodiment, only one non-transparent cover 12 is included. However, the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the non-transparent cover 12 in the cover assembly 13 can adopt a split design. The non-transparent cover 12 adopting the split design can include at least two sub-covers. Here, at least two sub-covers can be spliced and combined to form a complete non-transparent cover 12, and this complete non-transparent cover 12 can achieve the blocking of the third opening 2. Exemplarily, the non-transparent cover 12 can include two sub-covers that are line-symmetric; in another example, the non-transparent cover 12 can include multiple sub-covers that are centrosymmetric.
[0170] In the cover assembly 13 where the non-transparent cover 12 adopts a split design, the third driving device controls the actions of each sub-cover respectively to realize the switching of the non-transparent cover 12 between the third state and the fourth state.
[0171] In the above embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes one intelligent vehicle lamp 3, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is arranged on the front bumper 1 and is located on the vehicle body central plane S as an example for illustrative purposes. However, the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.
[0172] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes an intelligent vehicle lamp 3, and the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 can be disposed inside the front bumper 1 at any position.
[0173] For example, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 can be integrated into the left front headlamp 110 or the right front headlamp 120; in this case, the openings provided on the front bumper 1 corresponding to the left front headlamp 110 and the right front headlamp 120 can be used as the third opening 2, so that there is no need to separately fabricate the third opening 2. Moreover, since both the left front headlamp 110 and the right front headlamp 120 have lamp covers, the cover assembly 13 can be omitted.
[0174] Again for example, the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is disposed at a position outside the left front headlamp 110, the right front headlamp 120 and the vehicle body central plane S. In this case, a third opening 2 corresponding to the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is provided on the front bumper 1; the vehicle 100 can also be provided with a symmetric styling structure, and the symmetric styling structure is symmetrically disposed with respect to the vehicle body central plane S with the third opening 2, and can also have the same appearance style; the aesthetic degree of the overall styling of the vehicle is improved through the symmetric design. Moreover, the symmetric styling structure can also be used to dispose other functional devices, such as cameras, lidars, vehicle sensors, etc.
[0175] In some embodiments, two intelligent vehicle lamps 3 can be provided.
[0176] Exemplarily, the two intelligent vehicle lamps 3 can be respectively integrated into the left front headlamp 110 and the right front headlamp 120.
[0177] Another exemplarily, the two intelligent vehicle lamps 3 can be disposed at positions outside the left front headlamp 110 and the right front headlamp 120. In this case, the two intelligent vehicle lamps 3 can be symmetrically disposed with respect to the vehicle body central plane S; for example, they are respectively disposed above or below the left front headlamp 110 and the right front headlamp 120. A third opening 2 corresponding to the intelligent vehicle lamp 3 is provided on the front bumper 1.
[0178] In some embodiments, multiple intelligent vehicle lamps 3 can be provided. In this case, in order to improve the aesthetic degree of the vehicle 100, the multiple intelligent vehicle lamps 3 can also be symmetrically disposed with respect to the vehicle body central plane S.
[0179] The above embodiments are all exemplarily described by taking the front bumper 1 as an example, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, as Figure 23 shown, the vehicle 100 has a rear bumper 15 at the rear part, and the above-mentioned solutions also apply to the rear bumper 15. That is to say, the solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the bumper, and the bumper can be the front bumper 1 or the rear bumper 15.
[0180] As described above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims described above.
