The light guide structure 10 includes a main body section and a tail section. The lamp housing structure 20 includes a transparent part 21 and a non-transparent part 22 that are fixedly connected. The light-emitting surface of the main body section and the light-emitting surface of the tail section face different positions of the transparent part 21. The light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section is incident on the grille flange structure 31 through the corresponding transparent part 21, and at least one total reflection occurs between the surface of the light-emitting surface of the tail section close to the grille flange structure 31 and the surface of the grille flange structure 31 close to the non-transparent part 22; Figure 5 is a schematic flow diagram of a guiding design method for an automotive headlamp provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

Such as Figure 5 shown, the guiding design method includes:

[0037] S110. Obtain the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the light guide structure, the lamp housing structure, the grille flange structure, and the grille main body structure to construct a three-dimensional virtual simulation model; wherein, the grille flange structure and the grille main body structure are integrated.

[0038] First, a detailed introduction is made to the Figures 1-4 automotive headlamp shown, Figure 1 The automotive headlamp shown includes a daytime running lamp / position lamp 01 and a turn signal lamp 02. Of course, the automotive headlamp may also include the structures and quantities of other lamps. This embodiment is only an example here and is not limited. Taking the Figure 1 cross-sectional structure of the daytime running lamp / position lamp 01 shown as an example for illustration, that is, Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the automotive headlamp includes a light guide structure 10 and a lamp housing structure 20. Among them, the light guide structure 10 includes a main body section and a tail section. The light emitted by the LED enters the main body section and propagates along the main body section towards the tail section. A part of the light is emitted from the light-emitting surface of the main body section to the outside of the lamp housing structure 20, and another part of the light is emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section to the surface of the lamp housing structure 20 and gathers. This part of the light will cause an obvious super bright spot at the end of the light guide structure 10. Therefore, this embodiment processes this part of the light to prevent the user from seeing an obvious super bright spot. Figure 2 The light guide structure 10 shown can be understood as a part of the overall light guide structure 10. Exemplarily, Figure 2The shown optical waveguide structure 10 can be understood as the tail section of the overall optical waveguide structure 10. Additionally, by way of example, the automotive headlamp further includes an optical waveguide bracket 40, which can function to fix the optical waveguide structure 10. The lamp cover structure 20 includes a transparent portion 21 and a non-transparent portion 22 that are fixedly connected. The light-emitting surface of the main body section and the light-emitting surface of the tail section face different positions of the transparent portion 21 respectively. The position of the transparent portion 21 corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the main body section can be conducive to the light exiting to the outside of the lamp cover structure 20, and the position of the transparent portion 21 corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section can be conducive to processing the light at the end of the optical waveguide structure 10, avoiding the aggregation of this part of the light on the surface of the lamp cover structure 20. It can be understood that the lamp cover structure 20 here can also be understood as an outer lamp cover. The automotive headlamp further includes an inner lamp cover 23, and both can play a protective role for the optical waveguide structure 10 to ensure that the optical waveguide structure 10 can emit light normally for illumination and the like.

[0039] The focus of this embodiment lies in the processing of the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section. The light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section is incident on the grille flange structure 31 through the corresponding transparent portion 21, and at least one total internal reflection occurs between the surface of the non-transparent portion 22 close to the grille flange structure 31 and the surface of the grille flange structure 31 close to the non-transparent portion 22. That is, in this embodiment, the existing grille flange structure 31 is used to scatter the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section, changing the propagation direction of this part of the light and avoiding the aggregation of this part of the light on the surface of the lamp cover structure 20, thereby avoiding the user from observing obvious super bright light spots. It can be understood that the grille flange structure 31 and the grille main body structure 32 are integrated here. The grille flange structure 31 and the grille main body structure 32 can be understood as the front grille or grille lamp, and they only differ in the position arrangement. And, Figure 4 In the sectional structure, the total internal reflection surfaces are marked in the form of a dotted line box. Among them, the surface of the non-transparent portion 22 close to the grille flange structure 31 is the total internal reflection surface, the surface of the grille flange structure 31 close to the non-transparent portion 22 is the total internal reflection surface, the surface of the grille main body structure 32 close to the optical waveguide structure 10 is the total internal reflection surface, and at least part of the area of the surface of the grille main body structure 32 close to the grille flange structure 31 is also the total internal reflection surface. In this way, when the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section is incident on these total internal reflection surfaces, total internal reflection can occur correspondingly, thereby changing the propagation path of the light.

[0040] Specifically, continue to refer to Figures 1-4, in essence, this embodiment utilizes surface replacement, point replacement, and line replacement methods to perform software simulation on the actually prepared light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flanging structure 31, and grille main body structure 32. In the software, a three-dimensional virtual simulation model is constructed according to a 1:1 ratio or other ratios to simulate the propagation path of the light rays at the end of the light guide structure 10; alternatively, in this embodiment, according to the data of the light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flanging structure 31, and grille main body structure 32 in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, when it is determined that the propagation path of the light rays at the end of the light guide structure 10 is as required, the light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flanging structure 31, and grille main body structure 32 are prepared correspondingly. In this way, by obtaining the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flanging structure 31, and grille main body structure 32, a corresponding three-dimensional virtual simulation model can be constructed. Exemplarily, the size of the light guide structure 10 in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model is the same as or in a certain proportion to the size of the actually prepared light guide structure 10. Exemplarily, the relative position relationship between the lamp cover structure 20 and the grille flanging structure 31 in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model is the same as or in a certain proportion to the relative position relationship between the actually prepared lamp cover structure 20 and the grille flanging structure 31. Subsequently, analysis can be performed based on the simulation data in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, without the need to analyze the actually prepared automotive headlamp, which can reduce the preparation cost and avoid material waste.

[0041] S120. Based on the total internal reflection theorem, simulate the propagation path information of all the total internal reflection light rays between the surface of the non-transparent part close to the grille flanging structure and the surface of the grille flanging structure close to the non-transparent part in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model.

[0042] Specifically, the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface at the tail section undergo at least one total internal reflection between the surface of the non-transparent part 22 close to the grille flanging structure 31 and the surface of the grille flanging structure 31 close to the non-transparent part 22. Figure 6 is Figure 2 a schematic diagram of an optical path of the propagation path of the total internal reflection light rays in the cross-sectional structure shown, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, based on the total internal reflection theorem, in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, it is possible to simulate the multiple total internal reflections that occur between the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface at the tail section between the surface of the non-transparent part 22 close to the grille flanging structure 31 and the surface of the grille flanging structure 31 close to the non-transparent part 22, that is, the propagation path information of the multiple total internal reflection light rays formed. And, Figure 7 is Figure 2 another schematic diagram of an optical path of the propagation path of the total internal reflection light rays in the cross-sectional structure shown, as Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, based on the total reflection theorem, the total reflection that occurs between the surface of the non-transparent part 22 near the grille flanging structure 31 and the surface of the grille flanging structure 31 near the non-transparent part 22 for the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section can be simulated in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, that is, the propagation path information of a total reflection light ray is formed. Exemplarily, the propagation path information of the total reflection light ray may include the propagation direction of the total reflection light ray, the coordinates of the head end on the propagation path of the total reflection light ray, the coordinates of the tail end on the propagation path of the total reflection light ray, the length of the propagation path of the total reflection light ray, the sorting of any total reflection light ray among all the total reflection light rays, etc. Comparing Figure 6 and Figure 7 , it can be clearly seen that the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section need to undergo at least one total reflection between the non-transparent part 22 and the grille flanging structure 31. There are two possibilities for the final emission result of the total reflection light ray. As Figure 6 shown, it enters the interior of the vehicle body, and this part of the light rays cannot be seen by the user. Or, as Figure 7 shown, it exits the interior of the vehicle body, and this part of the light rays can be seen by the user. Therefore, the purpose of this embodiment is to reasonably adjust the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure 10, the lamp cover structure 20, the grille flanging structure 31, and the grille main body structure 32 and / or the relative position relationship between at least two of them, so that more of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section enter the interior of the vehicle body, reducing or even avoiding this part of the light rays from exiting the interior of the vehicle body. In this way, the situation of forming an obvious super bright spot at the end of the light guide structure 10 is further avoided.

[0043] S130. Determine the last total reflection light ray according to the propagation path information of all the total reflection light rays.

[0044] Specifically, continuing to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in the propagation path information of all the total reflection light rays, it is possible to judge whether the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enter the interior of the vehicle body or exit the interior of the vehicle body, and then judge whether an obvious super bright spot will be formed at the end of the light guide structure 10 according to the propagation path information corresponding to the last total reflection light ray. Among them, the last total reflection light ray can be understood as the last total reflection light ray along the propagation order of all the light rays.

[0045] When there is at least one point on the propagation path of the last total reflection light ray whose value in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure in the first direction, adjust the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure, the lamp shade structure, the grille flange structure and the grille main body structure and / or the relative position relationship between at least two of them until the value of the coordinate of any point on the propagation path of the last total reflection light ray in the first direction is greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure in the first direction; wherein, the first direction is parallel to the direction from the front of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle.

[0046] Wherein, the first direction is parallel to the direction from the front of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle. It can be understood that if the value of the coordinate of a point in the first direction is larger, the closer it is to the rear of the vehicle; if the value of the coordinate of a point in the first direction is smaller, the closer it is to the front of the vehicle. Also, the target point on the grille main body structure 32 can be selected according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the target point on the grille main body structure 32 can be a point on the grille main body structure 32 that is closest to the front of the vehicle. Thus, if the value of the coordinate of a point in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction, it means it is closer to the front of the vehicle; if the value of the coordinate of a point in the first direction is greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction, it means it is closer to the rear of the vehicle. Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , after determining the last total reflection light ray, the value of the coordinate of at least one point on the propagation path of the last total reflection light ray in the first direction can be compared with the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction to determine whether the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body or exits the interior of the vehicle body, and then determine whether an obvious super bright spot will be formed at the end of the light guide structure 10.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, when there is at least one point on the propagation path of the last total reflection light ray whose value in the first direction is greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction, it is optional that the value of the coordinate of the tail end on the propagation path of the last total reflection light ray in the first direction is greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction, that is, the coordinate of the tail end on the propagation path of the last total reflection light ray is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32. At this time, it means that the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body. For reference, see Figure 6As shown, a prompt of "OK" can be output accordingly to inform the relevant staff that the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the relevant light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flanging structure 31 and grille main body structure 32 are reasonable and can be applied to the actual preparation and production process. In another specific embodiment, when there is at least one point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray whose value in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction, and optionally when the value of the coordinate of the end of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction, that is, the coordinate of the end of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray is closer to the front of the vehicle than the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32. At this time, it means that the light emitted from the light emitting surface at the tail section finally exits the interior of the vehicle body. For reference, see Figure 7 As shown, a prompt of "NG" can be output accordingly to inform the relevant staff that the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the relevant light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flanging structure 31 and grille main body structure 32 are unreasonable and need to be improved in design and cannot be directly applied to the actual preparation and production process. Otherwise, users may observe an obvious super bright spot at the end of the light guide structure 10. At this time, the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flanging structure 31 and grille main body structure 32 and / or the relative position relationships of at least two corresponding thereto can be adjusted until it is determined that the light emitted from the light emitting surface at the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body, and then it can be applied to the actual preparation and production process. Thus, the key point of this embodiment lies in the method of structural ray calculation and the determination algorithm for the super bright problem at the end of the light guide structure 10. This guiding design method can quickly calculate the result of the finally emitted light, guide the design to improve the parameters, and achieve the effect that the emitted light enters the vehicle body.

[0048] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, by simulating the propagation path information of at least one total reflection ray corresponding to the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface at the tail section in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, and according to the comparison result of the coordinate information on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray and the coordinate information of the target point on the grille main body structure, the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure, the lamp cover structure, the grille flange structure and the grille main body structure and / or the relative position relationship of at least two corresponding ones are feedback-adjusted, so as to achieve efficient processing of the light rays at the end of the light guide structure, diverge the light rays at the end of the light guide structure, thereby reducing the brightness difference when observed from a certain direction, avoiding the situation of obvious super bright spots at the end of the light guide structure, improving the visual experience of users, being beneficial to improving the lighting effect of the automotive headlamp, making the brightness of the automotive headlamp more uniform, providing guiding design significance for the structural design of the automotive headlamp, enabling the designed automotive headlamp structure to have the ability to solve the obvious super bright spots at the end of the light guide structure, and thus being applicable to more vehicle models.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, optionally, when the value of the coordinate of at least one point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure in the first direction, the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure, the lamp cover structure, the grille flange structure and the grille main body structure and / or the relative position relationship of at least two corresponding ones are adjusted until the value of the coordinate of any point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction is greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure in the first direction, including: when the value of the coordinate of the tail end on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure in the first direction, the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure, the lamp cover structure, the grille flange structure and the grille main body structure and / or the relative position relationship of at least two corresponding ones are adjusted until the values of the coordinates of the head end and the tail end on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray are both greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure in the first direction.

[0050] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7, since there are many coordinate points on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray, in order to simplify the comparison content and reduce the comparison process, here we can only obtain the value of the coordinate of the head end of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction and the value of the coordinate of the tail end of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction, and compare them with the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction respectively, so as to determine whether the ray emitted from the light-emitting surface at the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body or exits the interior of the vehicle body, and then judge whether an obvious super bright spot will be formed at the end of the light guide structure 10. When the value of the coordinate of the tail end of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction, that is, the coordinate of the tail end of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray is closer to the head direction of the vehicle than the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32. At this time, it means that the ray emitted from the light-emitting surface at the tail section finally exits the interior of the vehicle body. For reference, see Figure 7 as shown, a prompt of "NG" can be output accordingly to inform the relevant staff that the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the relevant light guide structure 10, lamp housing structure 20, grille flanging structure 31 and grille main body structure 32 are unreasonable and need to be improved in design and cannot be directly applied to the actual preparation and production process. Otherwise, the user may observe the obvious super bright spot at the end of the light guide structure 10. At this time, the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure 10, lamp housing structure 20, grille flanging structure 31 and grille main body structure 32 and / or the relative position relationships of at least two corresponding thereto can be adjusted until it is determined that the ray emitted from the light-emitting surface at the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body, and then it can be applied to the actual preparation and production process. That is, during the process of adjusting the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure 10, lamp housing structure 20, grille flanging structure 31 and grille main body structure 32 and / or the relative position relationships of at least two corresponding thereto, the comparison result of the value of the coordinate of the tail end of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction and the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction can be obtained in real time until the coordinates of the head end and the tail end of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray are both greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction. At this time, it means that the ray emitted from the light-emitting surface at the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body.

[0051] In another specific embodiment, since the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray may be infinitely long, the coordinates of the end point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray can also be understood as the coordinates of the point corresponding to the preset length threshold on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray. That is, it is also possible to obtain the value of the coordinate of the starting point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray in the first direction and the value of the coordinate of the point corresponding to the preset length threshold on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray in the first direction, and compare them with the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction respectively, so as to determine whether the light ray emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body or exits the interior of the vehicle body, and then determine whether an obvious super bright spot will be formed at the end of the light guide structure 10. When the value of the coordinate of the point corresponding to the preset length threshold on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction, that is, the coordinate of the point corresponding to the preset length threshold on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray is closer to the front of the vehicle than the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32. At this time, it means that the light ray emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally exits the interior of the vehicle body. Refer to Figure 7 As shown, a prompt of "NG" can be output accordingly to inform the relevant staff that the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the relevant light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flange structure 31 and grille main body structure 32 are unreasonable and need to be improved in design, and cannot be directly applied to the actual preparation and production process. Otherwise, the user may observe an obvious super bright spot at the end of the light guide structure 10. At this time, the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flange structure 31 and grille main body structure 32 and / or the relative position relationships of at least two of them can be adjusted until it is determined that the light ray emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body, and then it can be applied to the actual preparation and production process. That is, during the process of adjusting the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure 10, lamp cover structure 20, grille flange structure 31 and grille main body structure 32 and / or the relative position relationships of at least two of them, the comparison result of the value of the coordinate of the point corresponding to the preset length threshold on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray in the first direction and the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction can be obtained in real time until the coordinates of the starting point and the point corresponding to the preset length threshold on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray are both greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main body structure 32 in the first direction. At this time, it means that the light ray emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body.

[0052] In addition, optionally, based on the total internal reflection theorem, after simulating the propagation path information of all the total internal reflection rays between the surface of the non-transparent part close to the grille flanging structure and the surface of the grille flanging structure close to the non-transparent part in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, it further includes: when the number of the propagation path information of the total internal reflection rays is greater than a preset number threshold, outputting a prompt that the number is too large to be calculated.

[0053] Specifically, in the process of actually simulating the propagation path information of all the total internal reflection rays in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model in this embodiment, the number of the propagation path information of the total internal reflection rays is also cumulatively counted in sequence. When the number of the propagation path information of the total internal reflection rays is less than or equal to the preset number threshold, it indicates that the software of the three-dimensional virtual simulation model can run normally and has a certain simulation accuracy. At this time, subsequent steps such as determining the last total internal reflection ray can be carried out. When the number of the propagation path information of the total internal reflection rays is greater than the preset number threshold, it indicates that the software operation of the three-dimensional virtual simulation model exceeds the load and the corresponding simulation accuracy decreases. At this time, a prompt that the number is too large to be calculated can be output to timely remind relevant staff. Exemplarily, the preset number threshold can be set according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the preset number threshold can be 100.

This embodiment is optimized on the basis of the above embodiment. Optionally, determining the last total internal reflection ray according to the propagation path information of all the total internal reflection rays includes:

[0055] According to the propagation path information of all the total internal reflection rays, sequentially determining the length of the propagation path corresponding to each total internal reflection ray;

[0056] Determining the total internal reflection ray corresponding to the propagation path with a length greater than the preset length threshold as the last total internal reflection ray.

[0057] For the content not detailed in this embodiment, please refer to the above embodiment. As Figure 8 shown, the guiding design method includes:

[0058] S210. Obtaining the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the light guide structure, the lamp cover structure, the grille flanging structure and the grille main body structure to construct a three-dimensional virtual simulation model; wherein, the grille flanging structure and the grille main body structure are integrated.

[0059] S220. Based on the total internal reflection theorem, simulating the propagation path information of all the total internal reflection rays between the surface of the non-transparent part close to the grille flanging structure and the surface of the grille flanging structure close to the non-transparent part in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model.

[0060] S230. Determine the lengths of the propagation paths corresponding to each total reflection ray in sequence according to the propagation path information of all the total reflection rays.

[0061] Optionally, determining the lengths of the propagation paths corresponding to each total reflection ray in sequence according to the propagation path information of all the total reflection rays includes: determining the coordinates of the head end and the tail end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray according to the propagation path information corresponding to the total reflection ray; according to the calculation formula determine the length L of the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray; wherein, the coordinates of the head end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray are (a1, b1, c1), and the coordinates of the tail end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray are (a2, b2, c2).

[0062] Specifically, for any total reflection ray, the intersection point of one end of the total reflection ray and the grid flanging structure, the intersection point of the other end of the total reflection ray and the non-transparent part, and the propagation direction of the total reflection ray between the grid flanging structure and the non-transparent part can be determined according to the propagation path information corresponding to it. Exemplarily, if the propagation direction of the total reflection ray between the grid flanging structure and the non-transparent part is from the grid flanging structure towards the non-transparent part, the intersection point of one end of the total reflection ray and the grid flanging structure can be determined as the coordinates of the head end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray, and the intersection point of one end of the total reflection ray and the non-transparent part can be determined as the coordinates of the tail end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray. Exemplarily, if the propagation direction of the total reflection ray between the grid flanging structure and the non-transparent part is from the non-transparent part towards the grid flanging structure, the intersection point of one end of the total reflection ray and the non-transparent part can be determined as the coordinates of the head end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray, and the intersection point of one end of the total reflection ray and the grid flanging structure can be determined as the coordinates of the tail end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray.

[0063] Furthermore, after determining the coordinates (a1, b1, c1) of the head end and the coordinates (a2, b2, c2) of the tail end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray, the length L of the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray can be determined according to the coordinates (a1, b1, c1) of the head end and the coordinates (a2, b2, c2) of the tail end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray. Optionally, the length L of the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray can be determined according to the following calculation formula Determine the length L of the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray. In addition, if the coordinates of the head end and the tail end on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray cannot be accurately determined, the length L of the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray can also be roughly determined according to the coordinates of any two points on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray.

[0064] S240. Determine the last total reflection ray corresponding to the propagation path with a length greater than the preset length threshold.

[0065] It can be understood that since the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray may scatter to an area outside the surface of the non-transparent part close to the grille flanging structure and the surface of the grille flanging structure close to the non-transparent part, the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray is relatively long. Generally speaking, the length of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray is the maximum among the lengths of the propagation paths corresponding to all total reflection rays. Specifically, the lengths of the propagation paths corresponding to all total reflection rays can be compared in size, and the total reflection ray corresponding to the propagation path with a length greater than the preset length threshold is determined as the last total reflection ray, so as to subsequently judge whether the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enters or exits the vehicle body according to the propagation path information of the last total reflection ray. Exemplarily, the preset length threshold can be set according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the preset length threshold can be 10 m.

[0066] S250. When there is at least one point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray whose value in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main structure in the first direction, adjust at least one of the shape parameters of the light guide structure, the lamp cover structure, the grille flanging structure and the grille main structure and / or the relative position relationship between at least two of them until the value of the coordinate of any point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction is greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main structure in the first direction; wherein, the first direction is parallel to the direction from the front of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle.

[0067] Figure 9 It is a schematic flowchart of another guiding design method for an automotive headlamp provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is optimized on the basis of the above embodiment. Optionally, based on the total reflection theorem, the propagation path information of all total reflection rays between the surface of the non-transparent part close to the grille flanging structure and the surface of the grille flanging structure close to the non-transparent part is simulated in a three-dimensional virtual simulation model, including:

[0068] Obtain the coordinates of the light-emitting point corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the light-emitting direction; wherein, the light-emitting direction corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section is perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the tail section;

[0069] According to the coordinates of the light-emitting point corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the light-emitting direction, determine the intersection coordinates of the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the grille flanging structure, and the incident angle of the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section incident on the grille flanging structure;

[0070] Based on the total internal reflection theorem, in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, the intersection coordinates of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the grille flanging structure are used as the coordinates of the head end on the propagation path of the first total internal reflection light ray, and according to the incident angle of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section onto the grille flanging structure, the reflection angle of the first total internal reflection light ray exiting the grille flanging structure is determined;

[0071] According to the intersection coordinates of the current total internal reflection light ray with the grille flanging structure and / or the non-transparent part, and the incident angle of the current total internal reflection light ray onto the grille flanging structure or the non-transparent part, the propagation path information corresponding to the next total internal reflection light ray is determined.

[0072] For the content not detailed in this embodiment, please refer to the above embodiments. As Figure 9 shown, the guiding design method includes:

[0073] S310. Obtain the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the light guide structure, the lamp shade structure, the grille flanging structure, and the grille main body structure to construct a three-dimensional virtual simulation model; wherein, the grille flanging structure and the grille main body structure are integrated.

[0074] S320. Obtain the coordinates of the light ray exit point corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the light ray exit direction; wherein, the light ray exit direction corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section is perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the tail section.

[0075] Specifically, after the three-dimensional virtual simulation model is constructed, it is also necessary to obtain the coordinates of the light ray exit point corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the exit direction of the light rays corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section, so as to subsequently determine the propagation path information of the subsequent total internal reflection light rays based on the total internal reflection theorem. Exemplarily, the propagation path information of the total internal reflection light rays may include the propagation direction of the total internal reflection light rays, the coordinates of the head end on the propagation path of the total internal reflection light rays, the coordinates of the tail end on the propagation path of the total internal reflection light rays, the length of the propagation path of the total internal reflection light rays, the sorting of any total internal reflection light ray among all the total internal reflection light rays, etc.

[0076] S330. According to the coordinates of the light ray exit point corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the light ray exit direction, determine the intersection coordinates of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the grille flanging structure, and the incident angle of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section onto the grille flanging structure.

[0077] Specifically, in this embodiment, it is essentially to determine the propagation path information of the light rays corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section. The intersection coordinates of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the grid flanging structure can be determined based on the coordinates of the light-emitting point corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the light-emitting direction. And the angle between the light-emitting direction of the light rays corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the normal direction of the grid flanging structure is the incident angle of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section incident on the grid flanging structure, so as to subsequently determine the propagation path information of the first total reflection light rays according to the propagation path information of the light rays corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section.

[0078] S340. Based on the total reflection theorem, in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, the intersection coordinates of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the grid flanging structure are used as the coordinates of the first end of the propagation path of the first total reflection light rays, and according to the incident angle of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section incident on the grid flanging structure, the reflection angle of the first total reflection light rays emitted from the grid flanging structure is determined.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, it is essentially to determine the propagation path information of the first total reflection light rays according to the propagation path information of the light rays corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section. Based on the total reflection theorem, between the surface of the non-transparent part close to the grid flanging structure and the surface of the grid flanging structure close to the non-transparent part, for any total reflection light ray, the reflection angle remains unchanged each time, and the incident angle is equal to the reflection angle. Since the light rays corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section will be incident on the grid flanging structure, the intersection coordinates of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the grid flanging structure can be used as the coordinates of the first end of the propagation path of the first total reflection light rays, and the incident angle of the light rays emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section incident on the grid flanging structure is equal to the reflection angle of the first total reflection light rays emitted from the grid flanging structure.

[0080] S350. According to the intersection coordinates of the current total reflection light rays and the grid flanging structure and / or the non-transparent part, and the incident angle of the current total reflection light rays incident on the grid flanging structure or the non-transparent part, determine the propagation path information corresponding to the next total reflection light rays.

[0081] Optionally, based on the intersection coordinates of the current total reflection ray with the grille flanging structure and / or the non-transparent part, and the incident angle of the current total reflection ray incident on the grille flanging structure or the non-transparent part, determine the propagation path information corresponding to the next total reflection ray, including: Based on the total reflection theorem, in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, use the intersection coordinates of the current total reflection ray with the non-transparent part as the coordinates of the starting end on the propagation path of the next total reflection ray, and determine the reflection angle at which the next total reflection ray exits the non-transparent part according to the incident angle of the current total reflection ray incident on the non-transparent part; and / or, based on the total reflection theorem, in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, use the intersection coordinates of the current total reflection ray with the grille flanging structure as the coordinates of the starting end on the propagation path of the next total reflection ray, and determine the reflection angle at which the next total reflection ray exits the grille flanging structure according to the incident angle of the current total reflection ray incident on the grille flanging structure.

[0082] Specifically, in essence, this embodiment determines the propagation path information of the next total reflection ray based on the propagation path information of the current total reflection ray. Based on the total reflection theorem, between the side surface of the non-transparent part close to the grille flanging structure and the side surface of the grille flanging structure close to the non-transparent part, for any total reflection ray, the reflection angle remains unchanged each time, and the incident angle is equal to the reflection angle. In a specific implementation manner, if the current total reflection ray is incident on the non-transparent part, the next total reflection ray may be incident on the grille flanging structure, then the intersection coordinates of the current total reflection ray with the non-transparent part can be used as the coordinates of the starting end on the propagation path of the next total reflection ray, and the incident angle of the current total reflection ray incident on the non-transparent part is equal to the reflection angle at which the next total reflection ray exits the non-transparent part. In another specific implementation manner, if the current total reflection ray is incident on the grille flanging structure, the next total reflection ray may be incident on the non-transparent part, then the intersection coordinates of the current total reflection ray with the grille flanging structure can be used as the coordinates of the starting end on the propagation path of the next total reflection ray, and the incident angle of the current total reflection ray incident on the grille flanging structure is equal to the reflection angle at which the next total reflection ray exits the grille flanging structure.

[0083] S360. Determine the last total reflection ray according to the propagation path information of all the total reflection rays.

[0084] S370. When there is at least one point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray whose value in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main structure in the first direction, adjust the shape parameters of at least one of the light guide structure, the lamp cover structure, the grille flange structure and the grille main structure and / or the relative position relationship between at least two corresponding ones until the value of the coordinate of any point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection light ray in the first direction is greater than the value of the coordinate of the target point on the grille main structure in the first direction; wherein, the first direction is parallel to the direction from the head of the vehicle to the tail of the vehicle.

[0085] Figure 10 is a schematic flow chart of another guiding design method for an automotive headlamp provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 10As shown, first, obtain the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the light guide structure, the lamp cover structure, the grille flanging structure, and the grille main body structure, and obtain the coordinates of the light exit points corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the light exit direction. In this way, by obtaining the shape parameters and relative position relationships of the light guide structure, the lamp cover structure, the grille flanging structure, and the grille main body structure, a corresponding three-dimensional virtual simulation model can be constructed. Exemplarily, the size of the light guide structure in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model is the same as or in a certain proportion to the size of the actually prepared light guide structure. Exemplarily, the relative position relationship between the lamp cover structure and the grille flanging structure in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model is the same as or in a certain proportion to the relative position relationship between the actually prepared lamp cover structure and the grille flanging structure. After the three-dimensional virtual simulation model is constructed, it is also necessary to obtain the coordinates of the light exit points corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section and the light exit direction of the light corresponding to the light-emitting surface of the tail section, so as to determine the propagation path information of the subsequent total reflection light based on the total reflection theorem. Exemplarily, the propagation path information of the total reflection light can include the propagation direction of the total reflection light, the coordinates of the head end on the propagation path of the total reflection light, the coordinates of the tail end on the propagation path of the total reflection light, the length of the propagation path of the total reflection light, the sorting of any total reflection light among all the total reflection lights, etc. Then, based on the total reflection theorem, simulate the propagation path information of all the total reflection lights between the surface of the non-transparent part close to the grille flanging structure and the surface of the grille flanging structure close to the non-transparent part in the three-dimensional virtual simulation model, and sequentially determine the lengths of the propagation paths corresponding to each total reflection light according to the propagation order of all the total reflection lights. During this process, it is necessary to accumulate the number of the propagation path information corresponding to the total reflection light and compare it with the preset number threshold. When the number of the propagation path information corresponding to the total reflection light is greater than the preset number threshold, it means that the software operation of the three-dimensional virtual simulation model exceeds the load and the corresponding simulation accuracy decreases. At this time, a prompt of "too many to calculate" can be output to timely remind the relevant staff. When the number of the propagation path information corresponding to the total reflection light is less than or equal to the preset number threshold, it means that the software of the three-dimensional virtual simulation model can run normally and has a certain simulation accuracy. At this time, the length of the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection light can be compared with the preset length threshold. When the length of the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection light is less than or equal to the preset length threshold, it means that this total reflection light is not the last total reflection light, and there may be other total reflection lights later, and then continue to accumulate and determine the length. When the length of the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection light is greater than the preset length threshold, then subsequently, it can be judged whether the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body or exits the interior of the vehicle body according to the propagation path information of this last total reflection light.Since the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray may scatter to the area outside the surface of the non-transparent part close to the grille flanging structure and the surface of the grille flanging structure close to the non-transparent part, the length of the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray is relatively long. The coordinates of the point corresponding to the preset length threshold on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray can be determined as the coordinates of the end point on the propagation path corresponding to the total reflection ray. After that, the value of the coordinates of the end point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction can be compared with the value of the coordinates of the target point on the grille main body structure in the first direction to determine whether the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body or exits the interior of the vehicle body, thereby determining whether an obvious super bright spot will be formed at the end of the light guide structure. In a specific embodiment, when the value of the coordinates of the end point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction is greater than the value of the coordinates of the target point on the grille main body structure in the first direction, that is, the coordinates of the end point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray are closer to the rear of the vehicle than the coordinates of the target point on the grille main body structure. At this time, it means that the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally enters the interior of the vehicle body for reference. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, a prompt of "OK" can be output accordingly. In another specific embodiment, when the value of the coordinates of the end point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray in the first direction is less than or equal to the value of the coordinates of the target point on the grille main body structure in the first direction, that is, the coordinates of the end point on the propagation path corresponding to the last total reflection ray are closer to the front of the vehicle than the coordinates of the target point on the grille main body structure. At this time, it means that the light emitted from the light-emitting surface of the tail section finally exits the interior of the vehicle body for reference Figure 7 As shown in the figure, a prompt of "NG" can be output accordingly.

[0086] Figure 11 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of a guiding design device for an automotive headlamp provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The guiding design device for the automotive headlamp is applicable to the production design stage of the automotive headlamp. Continuing to refer to Figures 1-4 , the automotive headlamp includes a light guide structure 10 and a lamp cover structure 20. The light guide structure 10 includes a main body section and a tail section. The lamp cover structure 20 includes a transparent part 21 and a non-transparent part 22 that are fixedly connected.
