[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application discloses a vehicle signal lamp, comprising a rear shell 10, a light source substrate 20 arranged on the rear shell 10, a plurality of light sources 30 arranged on the light source substrate 20, and a transparent lampshade 40 covering the light source substrate 20 and fixed on the rear shell 10.

[0027] ​​​The transparent lampshade 40 and the rear shell 10 form a containing cavity, the light source substrate 20 and the plurality of light sources 30 are arranged in the containing cavity, and the transparent lampshade 40 is provided with a plurality of transparent protrusions 42 for light diffusion on the side close to the light source substrate 20.

[0028] The transparent lampshade 40 of the vehicle signal lamp of the present application is provided with a plurality of transparent protrusions 42 for light diffusion on the side close to the light source substrate 20, and when the vehicle signal lamp is used, the light emitted by the plurality of light sources 30 is diffused by the plurality of transparent protrusions 42 for light diffusion and then emitted, so that the light emission uniformity is better and the light emission range is larger.

[0029] It should be pointed out that the transparent lampshade 40, the transparent protrusions 42 and the like in the present application can be fully transparent or translucent.

[0030] Preferably, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the present embodiment, the transparent protrusions 42 are in the shape of triangular pyramids. The transparent protrusions 42 in the shape of triangular pyramids can play a better light diffusion role.

[0031] More preferably, in the present embodiment, the side close to the light source substrate 20 of the transparent lampshade 40 includes, along the length direction of the transparent lampshade 40, a first light inlet region 401, a second light inlet region 402 and a third light inlet region 403 arranged in sequence, the transparent protrusions 42 include a first transparent protrusion 422, a second transparent protrusion 424 and a third transparent protrusion 426, the first transparent protrusion 422 is located in the first light inlet region 401, the second transparent protrusion 424 is located in the second light inlet region 402, and the third transparent protrusion 426 is located in the third light inlet region 403.

[0032] The side surface of the first transparent protrusion 422 is a concave square, and the bottom surface of the groove surrounded by the three first transparent protrusions 422 is a regular triangle. Specifically, the concave side of the side surface of the three first transparent protrusions 422 is the side of the regular triangle of the bottom surface of the groove.

[0033] The side surface of the second transparent protrusion 424 is a triangle, and the bottom surface of the groove surrounded by the three second transparent protrusions 424 is a regular triangle. Specifically, the bottom side of the side surface of the three second transparent protrusions 424 is the side of the regular triangle of the bottom surface of the groove.

[0034] The side surface of the third transparent protrusion 426 is a concave square, and the bottom surface of the groove surrounded by the three third transparent protrusions 426 is a regular triangle. Specifically, the concave side of the side surface of the three third transparent protrusions 426 is the side of the regular triangle of the bottom surface of the groove.

[0035] The first transparent protrusion 422 can internally refract the emitted light and scatter it out, increasing the left and right emission angle to 180°, the upper emission angle to 150°, and the lower emission angle to 90°, thereby increasing the light emission range and enabling pedestrians or drivers to see the light signal to the maximum extent. The second transparent protrusion 424 can concentrate the internally refracted light, and the emission angle is 60°, thereby increasing the light intensity in the central area and enabling pedestrians or drivers to see the light signal at a distance of about 200 meters in the rear. The third transparent protrusion 426 can internally refract the emitted light and concentrate it out, and the left and right emission angle is increased to 180°, the upper emission angle is 90°, and the lower emission angle is 60°. The upper emission angle of 90° can supplement the light in the central area 424 and increase the light intensity, and the lower emission angle of 60° can constrain the light type, avoid irradiating the ground, cause light loss, and enable pedestrians or drivers to see the light signal to the maximum extent.

[0036] In summary, the above structure of the first transparent protrusion 422, the second transparent protrusion 424, and the third transparent protrusion 426 can greatly improve the light emission uniformity and light emission range of the vehicle signal lamp.

The fourth transparent protrusions 44 are in the shape of a four-sided pyramid, and the fourth transparent protrusions 44 also have a light diffusion effect.

[0039] In combination Figure 4 The separation strip 4021 divides the second light entry area 402 into two areas.

[0040] The separation strip 4021 can cut off the light, and the strongest light intensity line is irradiated upward, thereby avoiding affecting the drivers of the rear vehicles. The fourth transparent protrusions 44 in the shape of a four-sided pyramid have a light collection effect, and can cause the internally irregularly refracted light to be scattered out again.

[0041] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the ratio of the size of the fourth transparent protrusion 44, the width of the separation strip 4021, and the size of the second transparent protrusion 424 is 1:1.2-1.8:2.4-6.

[0052] In addition, the embedded nut also has the functions of anti-dropping and anti-rotation, thereby increasing the overall connection strength.
