[0026] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0027] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 2 A license plate light assembly 10 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application is described. The license plate light assembly 10 includes a shell 11, a circuit board 12, a light-emitting component 13, a switch component 14 and a mask 15. The shell 11 is connected to a tailgate of the vehicle. An accommodating cavity 112 open in a first direction is formed inside the shell 11. The circuit board 12 is located in the accommodating cavity 112 and is connected to an inner wall of the accommodating cavity 112. The light-emitting component 13 and the switch component 14 are arranged on one side of the circuit board 12 in the first direction. The mask 15 is movably arranged on the shell 11 and closes the accommodating cavity 112, wherein the mask 15 can selectively move toward the accommodating cavity 112 and press the switch component 14 to control the opening of the tailgate.

[0028] At present, the license plate light of a vehicle is usually set above the license plate due to functional and regulatory requirements, and a camera and a tailgate switch need to be installed near the license plate light. Therefore, the number of parts is large and the layout space requirement is large. When the driver needs to open the tailgate, it is difficult to find the tailgate switch in the first time.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, specifically, the license plate light assembly 10 includes a shell 11 and electronic components. The shell 11 can be connected to the tailgate of the vehicle. Optionally, the shell 11 and the tailgate are detachably connected by screws or bolts, or the shell 11 and the tailgate are detachably connected by snapping or plugging. In a specific embodiment, snap-fitting portions are formed on both sides of the shell 11 in the length direction, and the snap-fitting portions can be snap-fitted with the tailgate. The shell 11 is installed on the tailgate by snapping the snap-fitting portions with the tailgate.

[0030] The housing 11 further has a housing cavity 112 formed inside. The housing cavity 112 can be open in a first direction. The first direction can be the direction of the housing 11 toward the license plate. The electronic component can be disposed in the housing cavity 112, and the electronic component can be connected to the inner wall of the housing cavity 112. Furthermore, the inner wall of the housing cavity 112 can be formed with a snap-fit ​​groove 114. The edge of the circuit board 12 can be snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove 114. The edge of the circuit board 12 abuts against the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 114, thereby limiting the movement of the circuit board 12 and making the circuit board 12 snap-fitted with the inner wall of the housing cavity 112. The electronic component can be the circuit board 12. The housing 11 also has a pin connected to the circuit board 12, and the pin can be electrically connected to the control unit of the vehicle.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the circuit board 12 may be provided with a light emitting member 13 and a switch member 14, the light emitting member 13 and the switch member 14 may be located on one side of the circuit board 12 in the first direction, and the light emitting member 13 and the switch member 14 may be electrically connected or signal connected to the circuit board 12, the light emitting member 13 may play the role of illuminating, and since the light emitting member 13 is located on one side of the circuit board 12 in the first direction, the light emitting member 13 may emit light and illuminate the surface of the license plate. The switch member 14 may control the opening and closing of the tailgate, in some embodiments, the switch member 14 may be configured as a micro switch, and the tailgate may be opened by pressing the switch member 14, specifically, the effective stroke of the switch member 14 may be 1±0.5mm, the pressing load of the switch member 14 may be 5.5±2N, and the maximum stroke of the switch member 14 may be 2mm. It should be noted that the switch member 14 and the light emitting member 13 do not interfere with each other, that is, when the light emitting member 13 is in the lit state, the pressing member may still open and close the tailgate through the mask 15.

[0032] The mask 15 can be arranged at the opening of the accommodating cavity 112 and seal the accommodating cavity 112 to ensure the waterproofness and moisture resistance of the interior of the accommodating cavity 112, wherein the mask 15 can be constructed as a light-transmitting member to ensure that the light of the light-emitting member 13 can pass through the mask 15 and irradiate the license plate. The mask 15 can be selectively moved toward the accommodating cavity 112, and at least part of the mask 15 can contact the switch member 14. When the mask 15 moves toward the accommodating cavity 112, the mask 15 can press the switch member 14, and the switch member 14 further controls the opening of the tailgate. By arranging the switch member 14 and the light-emitting member 13 on the housing 11, the number of components and the occupied space can be reduced, making it convenient for users to open the tailgate.

[0033] In short, the license plate light assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application has a shell 11, and a accommodating cavity 112 is formed in the shell 11. The accommodating cavity 112 can be used to accommodate a circuit board 12. The circuit board 12 is provided with a light-emitting component 13 and a switch component 14 on the side facing the license plate. A mask 15 is also provided on the shell 11. The user can press the mask 15 to move it toward the accommodating cavity 112. The mask 15 presses the switch component 14 during the movement to open the tailgate. The license plate light assembly 10 reduces the number of components, reduces costs and occupied space by integrating the light-emitting component 13 and the switch component 14 in the shell 11, and the user can open the tailgate by pressing the mask 15, thereby improving the user experience.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a connecting column 151 is formed on the side of the mask 15 facing the accommodating cavity 112, and the connecting column 151 can be extended toward the switch member 14, and the free end of the connecting column 151 can abut against the switch member 14. When the user presses the mask 15, the mask 15 can move toward the accommodating cavity 112, and the connecting column 151 can move synchronously with the mask 15. Since the connecting column 151 abuts against the switch member 14, the connecting column 151 presses the switch member 14 during the movement, thereby realizing the opening of the tailgate. By arranging the connecting column 151 on the mask 15, the moving distance of the mask 15 can be shortened, and the switch member 14 can be quickly pressed to avoid contact between the mask 15 and the circuit board 12, thereby ensuring that a certain distance is between the circuit board 12 and the mask 15, so that the user can press the mask 15 conveniently.

[0035] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a connecting rib 152 is formed on the outer periphery of the mask 15, and the connecting rib 152 can extend toward the shell 11, and the free end of the connecting rib 152 can be connected to the shell 11, wherein the free end of the connecting rib 152 and the shell 11 can be directly welded and fixed via a contact surface, and when the mask 15 moves toward the accommodating cavity 112, the connecting rib 152 can be deformed toward the accommodating cavity 112, thereby ensuring that the mask 15 can effectively move relative to the shell 11.

[0036] Furthermore, the cross section of the connecting rib 152 in the length direction of the mask 15 is wavy. By making the cross section of the connecting rib 152 in the length direction of the mask 15 wavy, the connecting rib 152 can be deformed while ensuring the connection strength, so that the connecting rib 152 can not only ensure the sealing effect in the accommodating cavity 112, but also ensure that the user can easily press the mask 15 to move it. The thickness of the connecting rib 152 is D, and the thickness of the connecting rib 152 can meet the following conditions: 0.4mm≤D≤0.6mm. In a specific embodiment, the thickness of the connecting rib 152 is preferably 0.5mm. By setting the thickness of the connecting rib 152 within the above range, it can be ensured that the connecting rib 152 can be effectively deformed.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 112 is formed with a step surface 113, and the step surface 113 can be arranged around the circumference of the accommodating cavity 112. A limiting column 153 is formed on the side of the mask 15 facing the accommodating cavity 112. The limiting column 153 can be arranged directly opposite to the step surface 113, and the limiting column 153 can also be arranged around the circumference of the mask 15. The limiting column 153 can extend toward the step surface 113, and when the user presses the mask 15 to move it to a certain moving distance, the limiting column 153 can abut against the step surface 113 to limit the mask 15 from moving toward the circuit board 12. Specifically, the shortest distance between the limit column 153 and the step surface 113 is L, and the shortest distance between the limit column 153 and the step surface 113 can meet the following conditions: 0.8mm≤L≤1.2mm. Preferably, the shortest distance between the limit column 153 and the step surface 113 can be 1mm. By setting the shortest distance between the limit column 153 and the step surface 113 within the above range, it can be ensured that when the user presses the mask 15, the pressing amplitude will not exceed the maximum stroke of the switch member 14, and the user's pressing force can ensure that the switch member 14 generates a switch command for the tailgate, and the reliability is higher.

[0038] The following is a brief description of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application.

Since the vehicle of the embodiment of the present application is provided with the license plate light assembly 10 of the above-mentioned embodiment, the license plate light assembly 10 of the vehicle has a shell 11, and a accommodating cavity 112 is formed in the shell 11.

The circuit board 12 is provided with a light-emitting component 13 and a switch component 14 on the side facing the license plate. A mask 15 is also provided on the shell 11. The user can press the mask 15 to move it toward the accommodating cavity 112. The mask 15 presses the switch component 14 during the movement to open the tailgate.
