Detailed Implementation

[0050] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0051] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 This invention describes a vehicle lighting effect control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. A control terminal or vehicle domain controller sends a control signal to the taillight controller and ambient light controller of the tailgate structure assembly 100 to activate the lighting effects of the intelligent interactive tailgate structure assembly. Based on this signal, the taillight controller and ambient light controller control the coordinated operation of the taillight 7 and ambient light 9 in various scenarios to display a variety of unique human-machine interaction and vehicle-to-vehicle interaction effects. The first area 2 of the tailgate outer panel 6 is set as a transparent area, and the second area 3 is a light-transmitting area. Under normal conditions, the color of the second area 3 is the same as the vehicle body color. When the ambient light 9 in the second area 3 is turned on, the ambient light 9 shines through the light-transmitting paint layer, thereby displaying lighting effects for different scenarios.

[0052] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the vehicle lighting effect control method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0053] S1: Receives lighting effect control signals.

[0054] Before receiving the lighting control signal, the vehicle first receives the vehicle unlock signal; the user can unlock the vehicle through remote unlocking or manual unlocking operation mode. Once the vehicle is unlocked, it can perform more diverse lighting control scenarios.

[0055] When the owner approaches the vehicle, the car key emits weak radio waves. The received signal is recognized by the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU is an electronic controller responsible for processing and recognizing the received signal code. Once the signal code is recognized, the ECU instructs the system's actuators, such as motors or solenoids, to perform the unlocking action, completing the vehicle unlocking process. Alternatively, unlocking can be achieved via a remote key. The owner simply presses a button on the key, which emits radio waves. The vehicle's antenna receives the signal, recognizes it, and performs the unlocking action. There are also keyless start systems, typically using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The chip in the smart card carried by the owner can automatically recognize the card within its sensing range. Once the vehicle detects the smart card, it unlocks the doors and starts the engine.

[0056] Specifically, receiving lighting control signals includes receiving control signals transmitted from the control terminal and receiving signals from the vehicle domain controller. The control terminal can be a mobile APP, iPad, etc. Different scene modes are selected, and after the vehicle receives the different scene modes, it continues to the next operation.

[0057] S2: Based on the lighting effect control signal, the ambient light 9 of the tailgate structure assembly 100 is controlled to correspond to different lighting effects in different functional scenarios.

[0058] Among them, the ambient light 9 of the vehicle refers to the lighting that mainly creates the atmosphere of the vehicle. It may include multiple light components. For example, some ambient lights 9 may be arranged in a dot matrix and emit light colors that can be varied and switch colors according to different scenarios. Ambient lights 9 are usually located in multiple positions, including the vehicle's center console, door panels, roof, central tunnel, steering wheel, foot lights, cup holders, welcome lights, welcome pedals, doors, trunk, and headlights. This embodiment of the invention mainly focuses on controlling the ambient light 9 of the vehicle's tailgate structure assembly 100.

[0059] In different functional scenarios, which can be human-vehicle interaction scenarios or vehicle-to-vehicle interaction scenarios, when interacting with a vehicle, the person can issue corresponding interaction commands to the vehicle, such as through a remote operation terminal. When interacting with a vehicle, the whole vehicle domain controller can determine the different states of the vehicle and thus control the controller of the ambient light 9 in the tailgate structure assembly 100 to work, so that the controller of the ambient light 9 controls the ambient light 9 to work. In practice, in most scenarios of creating atmosphere, the ambient light 9 in the tailgate structure assembly 100 needs to create patterns, text and various lighting effects.

[0060] It should be noted that the content displayed by the ambient light 9 can be controlled by the vehicle's infotainment system or mobile devices. Scenes can be pre-designed, or the displayed content can be customized to enrich the human-vehicle interaction experience. The ambient light 9 may include multiple light pillars, which form a light body component. When the light body component is turned on, the content displayed through the dot matrix LEDs may include, but is not limited to, static or static text, symbols, pixel images, etc.

[0061] Therefore, the vehicle lighting effect control method of this embodiment of the invention first ensures that the tailgate structure assembly 100 of the vehicle has ambient light 9. Then, the control terminal or the whole vehicle domain controller sends a control signal to the ambient light controller of the tailgate structure assembly 100 to turn on the intelligent interactive lighting effect. The ambient light controller controls the ambient light 9 to work in coordination in various different scenarios according to the signal, so as to show a variety of unique human-computer interaction and vehicle-to-vehicle interaction effects.

[0062] In some embodiments, step S2 includes S21: controlling the ambient light 9 to be in the lighting effect state of the brand perception scene.

[0063] In practice, users can select the operating mode of interactive functions through multimedia. For example, users can input control commands to control the ambient light 9 to be in the brand-perceived lighting effect state. The brand perception of a vehicle refers to consumers' subjective feelings and evaluations of a car brand, including the brand's image, value, and culture in the minds of consumers. Brand perception mainly includes brand language perception and brand lighting perception. Brand language perception is achieved through patterns and text set by the ambient light 9, such as the vehicle's brand pattern, interactive text with users, and special functional attribute introductions, culture, and values. The brand's logo design, advertising, unique culture, and values ​​can all enhance the brand's value in the minds of consumers and improve the user experience.

[0064] In some embodiments, in S21, controlling the ambient light 9 to be in a brand-perceived lighting effect state includes S211: the controller of the ambient light 9 controls the welcome function to be turned on, and the ambient light 9 displays a brand light show.

[0065] It should be noted that when the in-vehicle infotainment system is activated, upon receiving the simulated "restore factory settings" signal from the infotainment system, the ambient light controller will change the welcome function status of the intelligent interactive tailgate assembly to the open state; that is, the default welcome function status is open. Activating the in-vehicle infotainment system only applies to the first use and activation of the system. For example, when a user uses the infotainment system for the first time after purchasing a new car, they need to perform an operation, which can be done through a mobile application. This includes updating the mobile application to the latest version, finding the "Activate Vehicle" option or a similar option on the service page, scanning the QR code on the infotainment system, setting a password, and clicking the "Activate" button in the mobile application. After a few seconds, the in-vehicle infotainment system will be activated. Once activated, the ambient light controller will receive the activation signal and control the ambient light 9 to turn on.

[0066] The ambient light controller then arranges the ambient lights 9 to display the brand logo and brand greetings, giving users a unique first-time experience with the vehicle.

[0067] In some embodiments, wherein in S21, controlling the ambient light 9 to be in a brand-perceived lighting effect state includes:

[0068] S212: Receive welcome scene signal. The welcome scene usually occurs when the vehicle is powered on and the user unlocks the vehicle through remote or manual unlocking. The vehicle's domain controller receives the welcome scene signal triggered by the user. The user can wake up the welcome scene through the vehicle's infotainment system, mobile phone, or external voice commands. The vehicle's domain controller receives the welcome scene signal, thus facilitating the next step of activating the welcome scene.

[0069] Simultaneously, the ambient light 9 is turned on. In practice, different preset patterns, texts, and lights can be controlled to turn on the ambient light 9. The preset patterns can be brand language and brand light shows. This interactive function is an art display mode, triggered by the user's in-vehicle system, mobile phone, or external voice wake-up. The light source is the ambient light 9. In other words, passengers can set the animation in the mobile APP, which is transmitted to the ambient light controller to control the ambient light 9 to arrange the pattern or slogan set by the passenger.

[0070] Additionally, after receiving the power-on signal from the vehicle domain controller, turn off the ambient light 9.

[0071] Vehicle power-on refers to switching the vehicle's power supply from the off state to the on state, enabling the vehicle domain controller and other electronic control units to receive power and begin operation. Power-on is a necessary preparatory step before starting the vehicle and a prerequisite for the normal operation of all vehicle systems.

[0072] After unlocking, the welcome lighting effect of the intelligent interactive tailgate assembly 100 is turned on. When the vehicle is powered on to another power level, that is, when the passengers have entered the vehicle and are ready to start the vehicle, the welcome scene can be turned off.

[0073] In some embodiments, step S2 includes S22: controlling the lighting effect of the ambient light 9 in a voice interaction scenario, including S221: after receiving user voice information, setting the ambient light 9 to a preset lighting effect state where the tailgate structure assembly 100 is unlocked and opened.

[0074] In practice, external voice interaction typically occurs when a user issues a voice command from outside the vehicle and the vehicle responds. This interactive function requires a microphone to be installed in the tailgate assembly 100. After the microphone collects the user's voice information, it sends a command and communicates with the vehicle domain controller. The voice commands that can be collected include "open tailgate" and "close tailgate". These commands need to be preset at the factory so that the vehicle domain controller sends the collected signal to the lock controller of the electronic lock component of the tailgate assembly 100. After receiving the recognition signal from the microphone sent by the rear vehicle domain controller, the lock controller controls the tailgate assembly 100 to unlock.

[0075] In addition, the ambient light 9 of the vehicle can be set to be on when the tailgate assembly 100 is unlocked. That is, when the user opens the tailgate assembly 100, the ambient light 9 turns on, which can both indicate to the user that the tailgate is unlocked and improve the user's experience in a dark environment.

[0076] In some embodiments, step S221: receiving user voice information includes:

[0077] First, the voice information of the target user is collected in advance; that is, the target user is first identified, which is the voice information of the user or his / her family members. Only the voice information of the target user can open the car door. The voice information of the target user is collected by the recording device to improve the safety of the vehicle and prevent others from opening the rear door structure assembly of the vehicle through voice information.

[0078] Secondly, compare the received user voice information with the target user's voice information to see if they match. If there is a difference in information and the number of comparisons is less than or equal to the preset number, maintain the voice acquisition mode. If the information matches, control the electronic lock component to open the tailgate assembly 100.

[0079] Specifically, the acquired voice signal undergoes noise reduction and filtering to improve its quality. Then, information representing voice characteristics, such as spectral features and fundamental frequency, is extracted from the processed voice signal. This information is compared with pre-input voice information from the user. If the received voice information matches the pre-acquired target user voice information by more than 99%, the received voice information is compared with the pre-acquired target user voice information multiple times. If the number of comparisons is less than a preset number, the voice acquisition mode is maintained. If the number of comparisons equals the preset number, it indicates that the tailgate assembly 100 has been unlocked for the target user, and the tailgate assembly 100 is finally opened. Through these two comparison methods, vehicle safety is improved.

[0080] It should be noted that a typical electronic lock assembly mainly includes a motor, a lock controller, and sensors. The sensors are used to detect the open / closed status of the tailgate assembly 100 and transmit the status information to the vehicle domain controller. The motor is the power source for opening or closing the tailgate assembly. The lock controller receives signals from the vehicle domain controller and controls the direction of the motor's rotation according to the signal commands, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the tailgate assembly 100. This ensures that the tailgate assembly 100 can open and close intelligently and safely. In other words, the collected voice information is transmitted to the vehicle domain controller, which receives the lock controller from the electronic lock assembly and controls the motor to work, completing the action of opening the tailgate assembly 100.

[0081] Of course, in addition to external voice interaction, the tailgate assembly 100 can also be opened via external gesture interaction. External gesture interaction requires a corresponding camera to monitor the target gesture, etc. Its principle is similar to that of external voice interaction, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0082] In some embodiments, step S2 includes S23: controlling the lighting effect state of the ambient light 9 in the scenarios of general information prompt mode and information warning mode. General information prompts are mostly related to driving information, ensuring civilized driving; while information warnings can be related to parking information, indicating that the vehicle needs to stop or slow down in certain situations, providing a warning to following vehicles and thus preventing rear-end collisions.

[0083] In some embodiments, S23 includes S231: controlling the ambient light 9 to be in the general information prompt mode lighting effect state includes:

[0084] Receive driving signals; the activation of automatic driving mode or automatic cruise mode in the general prompt mode is usually logically determined by the vehicle domain controller. When the user operates the automatic driving mode or automatic cruise mode in the multimedia system, the multimedia system sends relevant instructions to communicate with the vehicle domain controller, which then performs the next operation instruction.

[0085] When the driving signal is determined to be in autonomous driving mode, a lighting effect command to activate autonomous driving mode is sent to the controller of ambient light 9; or when the driving signal is determined to be in automatic cruise mode, a lighting effect command to activate automatic cruise mode is sent to the controller of ambient light 9.

[0086] In practice, when the vehicle domain controller determines that the vehicle's driving mode has entered the autonomous driving mode, it sends a lighting effect command to the ambient light controller in the intelligent interactive tailgate structure assembly 100 to activate the autonomous driving mode. When the vehicle domain controller determines that the vehicle's driving mode has entered the automatic cruise mode, it sends a lighting effect command to the ambient light controller in the intelligent interactive tailgate structure assembly 100 to activate the automatic cruise mode. For example, the ambient light 9 can display the current scene status through pre-set text patterns, and different driving modes have different text patterns.

[0087] When a user turns off the automatic driving mode or automatic cruise control mode in the multimedia system, the multimedia system sends relevant commands to communicate with the vehicle domain controller. When the vehicle domain controller determines that the vehicle's driving mode has entered the normal driving mode, it sends a lighting effect command to the ambient lighting controller in the intelligent tailgate assembly 100 to turn off the automatic driving mode or automatic cruise control mode, thereby turning off the corresponding lighting effects. In other words, these text and graphic indicator lighting effects make it easy to observe the vehicle's current scene status.

[0088] In some embodiments, S23, controlling the ambient light 9 to be in the general information prompt mode lighting effect state further includes:

[0089] When the driving status is determined to be a lane-cutting situation, selectively send polite reminder lighting effects before and after the lane-cutting to the ambient light 9.

[0090] In practice, the "cutting in" in this embodiment of the invention refers to a situation where a vehicle intending to cut in encounters vehicles queuing or moving slowly in the lane it intends to travel in, and the occupants of the vehicle have an urgent matter. Instead of queuing behind the queuing vehicles, the vehicle moves to an adjacent lane and then ahead of the queuing vehicles to enter their lane. To express gratitude for the courteous behavior of the queuing vehicles, a polite lighting effect is used. As in general information prompts, the polite prompts before or after cutting in are typically determined by the vehicle domain controller. When the vehicle domain controller determines that the vehicle has performed a cutting-in operation, it sends a "Thank you for cutting in" prompt to the multimedia system. The determination of a cutting-in operation can be made by the ambient lighting controller receiving left or right turn signals from the vehicle body network, chassis steering signals, and the driving radar detecting the vehicle gradually approaching other vehicles, thus determining that a cutting-in is imminent.

[0091] When the user selects "Yes," based on the selected operating mode, the vehicle domain controller sends a control signal to the ambient light controller of the intelligent interactive tailgate assembly 100 to activate the "courtesy thank you" lighting effect. After ten seconds of this effect, the ambient light controller turns off the "courtesy thank you" lighting effect, displaying a "pouring tea" animation. After turning off, the ambient light 9 turns off after the lane change and remains in standby until the next instruction. When the user selects "No," the "Thank you for cutting in" prompt closes, ending the polite prompts before or after cutting in.

[0092] In other words, when a vehicle needs to cut in line, it can both warn and remind the vehicle being cut in, and also express gratitude for the courteous behavior of the vehicle being cut in, thereby achieving interaction between vehicles and realizing civilized driving.

[0093] Of course, general information prompts also include gear shift prompts, brake prompts, and turn prompts, and vehicle-to-vehicle interaction can also be achieved through ambient lighting 9.

[0094] In some embodiments, step S23 includes S232: controlling the ambient light 9 to be in information warning mode, including: receiving a signal of information warning mode; controlling the ambient light 9 to turn on the lighting effect text of information warning mode.

[0095] The scenario functions mentioned in the information warning mode are typically activated / deactivated by the user via multimedia, including "Baby Mode," "Keep Distance," "New Driver," "Ahead Obstacle Warning," "Yield to Pedestrians and Follow-up Warning," and "Temporary Parking." The multimedia system then sends a command, which is logically determined by the vehicle domain controller. The vehicle domain controller then sends a control signal to the ambient lighting controller in the intelligent interactive tailgate assembly 100 to activate / deactivate the lighting effects and text prompts for "Baby Mode," "Keep Distance," "New Driver," "Ahead Obstacle Warning," "Yield to Pedestrians and Follow-up Warning," and "Temporary Parking." These scenarios are commonly used information warning scenarios. "Baby Mode" allows users to start telling stories, providing science information, nursery rhymes, or fairy tales to their babies, and can also activate an in-car environment adapted for babies.

[0096] In some embodiments, step S2 includes S24: controlling the ambient light 9 to be in a scene mode. The scene mode includes: S241: receiving the user's rest mode and controlling the ambient light 9 to display the words "Do Not Disturb".

[0097] The user wakes up the device via multimedia. After the domain controller performs a conditional judgment, it sends a control signal to the ambient light controller of the intelligent interactive tailgate assembly 100. The user can touch the "rest mode" on the multimedia device, which then activates the rest mode and sends the signal to the vehicle domain controller. The vehicle domain controller sends a control signal to the ambient light controller, which controls the ambient light 9 to arrange the light components to display the words and pattern "Do Not Disturb," indicating that the user is in a resting state and ensuring that the user is not disturbed by the outside world.

[0098] In some embodiments, after the ambient lights 9 display the "Do Not Disturb" message, it is determined whether the rest mode is a normal rest mode. If so, no operation is performed; otherwise, the ambient lights 9 display warning patterns and text to inform pedestrians that there may be danger inside the vehicle.

[0099] In practice, when the tailgate displays the "Do Not Disturb" message and icon for an extended period, the ambient lighting controller automatically requests CAN signals from the seat pressure sensor, the window closed status, and the air conditioning system (for prolonged operation) from the vehicle domain controller. CAN signals are a bus system used to transmit control information and data, widely applied in industrial control and data transmission.

[0100] Specifically, the ambient lighting controller receives CAN signals from the seat pressure sensor, the air conditioning system (which has been running for an extended period), and the windows (which are closed). Upon determining that a passenger is in the seat and the vehicle has been in a closed environment with the air conditioning on for a prolonged period, the controller adjusts the ambient lighting components of the ambient lighting unit to display warning patterns and text, alerting pedestrians to potential danger posed by the passenger. In this way, user safety is ensured in the event of an accident and in need of assistance.

[0101] In some embodiments, controlling the ambient light 9 to be in a scene mode function scenario includes S242: receiving a scene mode signal of charging feedback mode or discharging feedback mode; turning on the lighting effects and text prompts of charging feedback mode or discharging feedback mode; and turning off the lighting effects and text prompts when receiving a turn-off signal of charging feedback mode or discharging feedback mode.

[0102] When the vehicle domain controller receives a signal that the vehicle is charging, it sends a control signal to the ambient light controller in the intelligent interactive tailgate assembly 100 to turn on the "charging feedback" lighting effect and text prompt. When the vehicle domain controller receives a signal that the vehicle is not charging, it sends a control signal to the intelligent interactive tailgate assembly to turn off the "charging feedback" lighting effect and text prompt.

[0103] In some embodiments, when controlling the ambient light 9 to be in a scene mode, S243 includes: receiving a scene mode signal for camping mode; and sending the words "camping mode lighting effect" to the controller of the ambient light 9.

[0104] In practice, users can turn the camping mode on or off via the multimedia control panel. The multimedia transmission signal commands are sent to the vehicle domain controller. After processing the signal, the vehicle domain controller sends a control signal to the ambient light 9 in the intelligent interactive tailgate structure assembly 100, so that the ambient light controller controls the light components of the ambient light 9 to arrange the words and patterns of "camping mode".

[0105] In addition, some scenario modes include holiday mode, business reception mode, pet mode, romantic mode, user-defined mode, etc. The control strategies are similar to those of camping mode, but the usage scenarios are different. They are all functions to enrich the user's personalized experience, and will not be elaborated here.

[0106] External voice interaction, external gesture interaction, general prompt mode, information warning mode, charging scenario mode, and OTA mode are usually found in the factory-preset activation modes of the vehicle. Multimedia devices typically have virtual buttons for "Intelligent interactive tailgate closing / opening", "External gesture interaction closing / opening", "General prompt mode closing / opening", "Information warning mode closing / opening", "Charging scenario mode closing / opening", and "OTA mode closing / opening". OTA mode refers to a method of remotely updating device software or firmware through wireless communication technology.

[0107] In addition, when the ambient light controller in the intelligent interactive tailgate assembly 100 receives a signal from the vehicle domain controller indicating that the vehicle is in power-saving mode or that the vehicle battery level is below 30%, it can disable the lighting effects of external voice interaction, external gesture interaction, general prompt mode, information warning mode, charging scenario mode, and OTA mode.

[0108] In some embodiments, the ambient light 9 is turned on while the vehicle's taillights 7 are illuminated, and after receiving a power-on signal from the vehicle domain controller, the ambient light 9 and taillights 7 are turned off.

[0109] In practice, the taillights 7, as a key component of the vehicle's rear, generally include turn signals, brake lights, side marker lights, rear fog lights, reversing lights, and parking lights, which serve as indicators of driving or parking functions. In other words, the brand's lighting perception can be achieved through the combined use of the taillights 7 and ambient lights 9. For example, the unique design of the taillights 7 and the unique design of the ambient lights 9 can significantly enhance the vehicle's recognizability. At this time, the taillight controller is also needed to control the taillights 7 to illuminate, and combined with the brand language displayed by the ambient lights 9, a unique artistic atmosphere is created for users, improving the user experience.

[0110] In some embodiments, when the ambient light 9 is turned on to the corresponding lighting effect state, the vehicle's taillights 7 are turned on.

[0111] After receiving a user's voice message, the ambient light 9 and the center taillight 7 are in the preset lighting effect state of the tailgate structure assembly being unlocked and opened. The preset lighting effect is that the ambient light 9 and the center taillight 7 are turned on. That is, after the tailgate structure assembly 100 is opened by voice, the ambient light 9 and the center taillight 7 are turned on together, creating an atmosphere while also indicating that the tailgate structure assembly 100 is open.

[0112] In addition, if the driving status is determined to be a lane-cutting driving status, while selectively sending polite reminder lighting effects before and after lane-cutting to the ambient light 9, the taillight controller also receives the lane-cutting driving signal and controls the activation of the taillight 7, thereby providing a reminder to the following vehicles.

[0113] Furthermore, when the ambient light 9 is in the information warning mode, after receiving the information warning mode signal, the ambient light 9 will turn on the information warning mode lighting effect text, and at the same time, the taillight controller will control the taillight 7 to light up to enhance the warning effect.

[0121] It should be noted that the logic and / or steps represented in the flowchart or otherwise described herein, for example, can be considered as a sequenced list of executable instructions for implementing logical functions, and can be embodied in any computer-readable medium for use by, or in conjunction with, an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device (such as a computer-based system, a processor-included system, or other system that can fetch and execute instructions from, an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device). For the purposes of this specification, "computer-readable medium" can be any means that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transmit programs for use by, or in conjunction with, an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device.

[0123] This invention also discloses a tailgate structure assembly 100, applicable to the aforementioned vehicle lighting control method. The tailgate structure assembly 100 includes a tailgate outer panel 6 and an ambient light 9, with the ambient light 9 disposed on the tailgate outer panel 6. In other words, the ambient light 9 is positioned at the rear of the vehicle, and by controlling the lighting patterns, text, and light effects of the ambient light 9 in different scenarios, the tailgate structure assembly 100 can perform different functions such as providing prompts and creating atmosphere, making the tailgate structure assembly 100 more versatile.

[0124] In some embodiments, the tailgate structure assembly 100 further includes a center taillight 7, as shown in the reference. Figure 1-3 As shown, the tailgate outer panel 6 includes a first region 2 and a second region 3. The center taillight 7 is located inside the first region 2, and the ambient light 9 is located at least inside the second region 3. The first region 2 is constructed as a transparent region, and the second region 3 is formed with a translucent paint layer.

[0125] In practice, the second area 3 forms the lower outer panel area. The body paint can be sprayed on the upper outer panel area 1 and the lower outer panel area, or vacuum plating PVD, ink printing, etc. Then, the body paint at the micro-hole position is removed by ultra-micro-hole laser engraving to form light-transmitting ultra-micro-holes. Then, optical light-transmitting adhesive is transferred and protective clear coat is sprayed to achieve that the lower outer panel area is the body color when the ambient light 9 is not turned on. When the ambient light 9 is turned on, the light components of the ambient light 9 can show the controlled lighting effect through the lower outer panel area, and the appearance is defect-free.

[0126] The taillight 7 is located inside the first area 2, which is a transparent area that replaces the original cover of the taillight 7, achieving weight reduction and providing better sealing and appearance. In actual design, a small number of ambient light 9 components can also be installed inside the first area 2, while ambient light components are also installed inside the second area 3, thus diversifying the lighting effects of the ambient lights 9.

[0127] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the first area 2 of the tailgate outer panel 6 is a transparent area, and the second area 3 is the same color as the body when the lights are off, but can have a light-transmitting effect when the lights are on. Different lighting effects can be controlled by the corresponding controller, which is rich in content and can realize diverse interactive scenarios.

[0128] In some embodiments, the tailgate outer panel 6 further includes an upper outer panel region 1, and the upper outer panel region, the first region 2, and the second region 3 are distributed sequentially from top to bottom and integrally formed.

[0129] In practice, the upper outer panel area 1 uses opaque material and is integrally molded with the first area 2 and the second area 3 using a two-color injection molding process, so that the tailgate outer panel 6 has no seams, resulting in good appearance and good sealing.

[0130] In some embodiments, a light guide portion 10 is provided between the ambient light 9 and the tailgate outer panel 6, and the light guide portion 10 is opposite to the area where the translucent paint layer is located.

[0131] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the light guide section 10 between the ambient light 9 and the tailgate outer panel 6 can be a light guide plate. The light guide plate is provided with multiple light guide columns. The light guide columns can guide the light emitted by the light body assembly of the ambient light 9 to the position of the light-transmitting micro-hole in the lower outer panel area, thereby improving the light transmission effect of the ambient light 9 and forming various playable text and patterns.

[0132] In some embodiments, the tailgate structure assembly 100 further includes a tailgate inner panel 8, a mounting cavity is formed between the tailgate inner panel 7 and the tailgate outer panel 6, and the center taillight 7 and the ambient light 9 are both connected to the mounting cavity.

[0133] In practice, the center taillight 7 and the ambient light 9 are both located between the inner tailgate panel 8 and the outer tailgate panel 6. The center taillight 7 can be connected to both the outer tailgate panel 6 and the inner tailgate panel 8 at the same time, and the ambient light 9 can also be connected to both the outer tailgate panel 6 and the inner tailgate panel at the same time. Sealing and shock-absorbing materials are set at the connection points to improve the reliability and buffering performance of the connection.

[0134] In some embodiments, the taillight 7 is provided with a taillight base 71, the taillight base 71 is provided with a first mating part that mates with the tailgate outer panel 6, the tailgate outer panel 6 is provided with a second mating part, and the first mating part and the second mating part are connected together.

[0135] In practice, the center taillight holder 71 is used to install and fix the center taillight 7, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 As shown, the taillight housing 71 is connected to the tailgate outer panel 6. The taillight housing 71 has a first slot 711 and a second slot 712, which form a first mating part. In addition, the tailgate outer panel 6 includes a first rib 61 and a second rib 62, which form a second mating part. The first rib 61 of the tailgate outer panel 6 and the first slot 711 of the taillight housing 71 are engaged, and the second rib 62 of the tailgate outer panel 6 and the second slot 712 of the taillight housing 71 are connected, thus forming a connection between the taillight housing 71 and the tailgate outer panel 6, which is convenient.

[0136] In some embodiments, the ambient light 9 is provided with an ambient light holder 91, and each ambient light holder 91 is provided with a third mating part that mates with the outer panel 6 of the tailgate. The outer panel 6 of the tailgate is provided with a fourth mating part, and the third mating part and the fourth mating part mate with each other.

[0137] Continue to refer to Figure 2As shown, the ambient light holder 91 supports the ambient light 9 and is connected to the tailgate outer panel 6. The ambient light holder 91 has a third slot 911 and a fourth slot 912, which form a third mating part. The tailgate outer panel 6 has a third rib 63 and a fourth rib 64, which form a fourth mating part. The third rib 63 of the tailgate outer panel 6 and the third slot 911 of the ambient light holder 91 are engaged, and the fourth rib 64 of the tailgate outer panel 6 and the fourth slot 912 of the ambient light 9 are engaged, thus forming a connection between the ambient light holder 91 and the tailgate outer panel 6, which is convenient.

[0138] It should be noted that since the tailgate outer panel 6 uses a large area of ​​light-transmitting material, this type of material is prone to thermal deformation. The method of setting ribs on the inner side of the tailgate outer panel 6 to cooperate with the center taillight holder 71 and the ambient light holder 91, and setting shock-absorbing material at the cooperation point, can control the outward expansion and thermal deformation of the tailgate outer panel 6, ensure the spacing and correspondence between the light guide column and the hidden laser engraving hole, and at the same time improve the display effect of the lighting effect, and also have a buffering effect on the center taillight 7 and the ambient light 9. Of course, in addition to the snap-fit ​​method, other parts of the center taillight 7 and the ambient light 9 can also be connected to the tailgate outer panel 6 by welding or bonding.

[0139] In addition, the inner tailgate panel 8 can be glued to the back of the light assembly of the center taillight 7 and ambient light 9, forming an adhesive surface on the back of the light assembly. At this time, the center taillight 7 and ambient light 9 can be used as the middle support point between the outer tailgate panel 6 and the inner tailgate panel 8, which can play a role in supporting the outer tailgate panel 6 against impact.

[0140] In some embodiments, a monitoring component is installed between the outer tailgate panel 6 and the inner tailgate panel 8, with the monitoring component facing the transparent area of ​​the outer tailgate panel 6.

[0141] In practice, the monitoring components may include radar, sensors and cameras. That is, radar, sensors and cameras are installed between the outer tailgate panel 6 and the inner tailgate panel 8. The upper outer panel of the tailgate panel 6 is integrally formed with the lower first area 2 and the second area 3, which can achieve seamless installation of the camera, radar and sensors with the tailgate structure assembly 100 with zero gap.

[0142] Furthermore, the installation of cameras, radar, and sensors enriches the effects of the tailgate assembly 100 and enhances human-machine interaction scenarios. One function of the radar working in conjunction with the ambient light 9 is that when a following vehicle approaches the highly integrated tailgate assembly 100, the laser ranging radar begins ranging, and the ambient light 9 displays the distance reading to remind the following vehicle to maintain a safe distance. The ambient light 9's light components are arranged to display corresponding "distance maintenance and display functions with following vehicles."

[0143] Therefore, by placing the monitoring components in a transparent area, such as the tailgate outer panel 6 corresponding to the monitoring components, which does not need to be painted with masking paint, and can be opposite to the transparent first area 2, the monitoring of the following vehicle can be realized, and the information warning function of the ambient light 9 can be formed.

[0144] In some embodiments, a radio device is provided between the outer tailgate panel 6 and the inner tailgate panel 8, and the radio device is adapted to receive user voice information.

[0145] The radio equipment can be used to receive voice information from the target user, thereby determining whether the tailgate assembly 100 is unlocked. This not only enables the intelligent opening of the tailgate assembly 100, but also triggers the preset ambient light 9 and taillight 7 lighting effects after the tailgate assembly 100 is opened.

[0146] In addition, the tailgate structure assembly 100 of this embodiment also includes a spoiler 5 and a windshield 4. The spoiler 5 is located above the windshield 4, and the windshield 4 is connected to the outer panel area 1. The windshield 4 uses a high light transmittance and wear-resistant and weather-resistant PC material. The windshield 4 is set as a rear windshield polycarbonate composite glass, that is, the glass material is adjusted compared with the prior art. When the windshield 4 formed by this material is bonded to the tailgate inner panel 8, the adhesive used when bonding the tailgate inner panel 8 and the tailgate outer panel 6 can be applied to reduce the gap surface difference between the windshield 4 and the tailgate outer panel 6. In contrast, the existing tailgate structure assembly 100 uses separate steps and different adhesive types for applying adhesive to the rear windshield and the tailgate inner panel 8, and the tailgate inner panel 8 and the tailgate outer panel 6. In this embodiment, a two-component polyurethane adhesive for the tailgate is used instead of glass adhesive, and an integrated adhesive application by a robotic arm can be used, which is a process optimization and simplification solution. Compared with the prior art, it can simplify the robotic arm adhesive application process.

[0147] This invention discloses a vehicle including the aforementioned computer-readable storage medium, electronic device, and tailgate structure assembly 100. When the lights are off, the luminous area displays the body color, and the laser-engraved holes and ambient lights 9 below them are not visually apparent. The storage medium, electronic device, and tailgate structure assembly 100 are suitable for various human-computer interaction scenarios, such as welcoming guests, conveying information to following vehicles, and displaying content on vehicle or mobile devices. The interaction methods are varied, improving the user experience.
