Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of automobile decorations, and in particular to a luminous decorative strip assembly. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the requirements for automotive accessories are getting higher and higher. In order to make the car more cool and beautiful at night, more requirements are put forward for the various performances of the luminous accessories used in the car.

[0003] The prior art has proposed a car luminous bumper device, in which a light-transmitting hole is opened on the bumper skin, a light-emitting lamp group and a fixing bracket are installed in the non-visible area of ​​the bumper, and the light transmits light through the light-transmitting hole. However, considering the overall strength requirements of the bumper skin, it is impossible to arbitrarily punch the desired light-transmitting hole on the bumper skin, the light-transmitting pattern has certain restrictions and the degree of freedom of the luminous effect is insufficient. At the same time, punching holes in the substrate will also affect the overall strength of the substrate.

[0004] The prior art also proposes a light-emitting bumper, in which the light-emitting element is arranged on the inner side of the bumper, and the outer side of the bumper is sprayed with a transparent primer (layer 1), a colored paint (layer 2), a colored varnish (layer 3), a transparent primer (layer 4) and a transparent varnish (layer 5). The layers 2 and 3 are laser engraved to form a light-transmitting pattern, so that the light-emitting element can transmit light through these layers. However, the use of laser engraving to form a light-transmitting pattern on the outer side of the bumper will result in obvious laser engraving marks on the bumper surface, and the laser engraving pattern is highly visible during the non-luminous period, resulting in a poor visual effect of the appearance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, it is expected to provide a luminous trim assembly that can achieve at least one of the following technical effects: there are no obvious visible engraving marks on the outer surface of the trim; the light-transmitting pattern engraved by the laser is invisible during the non-luminous period, thereby having a beautiful visual effect; the outer surface of the trim has a metallic luster; and the processing technology is environmentally friendly.

[0006] In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a light-emitting trim assembly. The light-emitting trim assembly includes a trim and a light-emitting element. The trim has at least a light-transmitting substrate layer and an opaque shading layer. The substrate layer has an outer side and an inner side. The light-emitting element is arranged on the inner side of the trim. The shading layer is applied on the inner side of the substrate layer and a predetermined light-transmitting pattern is formed in the shading layer to allow light emitted from the light-emitting element to be visible from the outside through the light-transmitting pattern and through the substrate layer, and the outer surface of the trim is a structure-free continuous smooth surface.

[0007] Thus, since the light-transmitting pattern is formed on the inner side of the substrate layer, any obvious visible traces of unevenness caused by the light-transmitting pattern cannot be touched or seen from the outer surface of the decorative strip, whether during lighting or non-lighting, thereby providing an aesthetic appearance.

[0008] In one or more examples, the decorative strip further comprises a metal layer disposed on the outer side of the substrate layer, wherein the metal layer is partially light-transmissive and has a thickness of no greater than 1 micron, preferably 1 micron.

[0009] Therefore, since the metal layer is partially translucent and the translucent pattern is on the inner side of the substrate layer, during the non-luminous period, the user can see the beautiful appearance with metallic luster from the outside while the laser-engraved translucent pattern is invisible, but during the luminous period, the user can see the bright and beautiful translucent pattern from the outside.

[0010] In one or more examples, the metal layer is a vacuum electroplating layer; or the metal layer is a vacuum ion plating layer.

[0011] Therefore, vacuum plating is safer, more energy-efficient, reduces noise and pollutant emissions, which has certain benefits for sustainable development and lower carbon emissions, thereby achieving environmentally friendly processing technology.

[0012] In one or more examples, the light-transmitting pattern is formed by removing a portion of the light-shielding layer material by a laser engraving process on the light-shielding layer.

[0013] Therefore, compared with the prior art of punching holes in decorative strips to allow light to pass through, the laser engraving process allows users to obtain predetermined light-transmitting patterns as needed. It has a high degree of design freedom, can meet the different customization needs of customers, and also ensures the structural integrity and strength of the decorative strips.

[0014] In one or more examples, the thickness of the light shielding layer is 30-50 micrometers, preferably 30 micrometers; and / or the thickness of the substrate layer is 2.5-3.2 millimeters, preferably 2.5 millimeters.

[0015] Therefore, the thickness of the light-shielding layer ensures that the light-transmitting pattern can be laser engraved well, and the base material layer ensures that the decorative strip has sufficient strength, is lightweight and saves costs.

[0016] In one or more examples, the light-emitting trim assembly also includes an assembly structure configured to carry the trim and the light-emitting element and assemble the two together; and / or the assembly structure includes a trim mounting member, a light-emitting element carrier, and an assembly member that assembles the trim mounting member and the light-emitting element carrier together.

[0017] In one or more examples, the molding mount is configured to carry the molding and mount it to a vehicle body structure, and the molding mount includes a first mounting element for supporting a first end of the molding and a second mounting element for supporting a second end of the molding.

[0018] In one or more examples, the light-emitting element is detachably fixed to the light-emitting element carrier; and / or the assembly includes a first connecting member protruding inward from the first mounting element and a second connecting member arranged on the light-emitting element carrier, so as to detachably fix the light-emitting element carrier to the first connecting member; and / or the first connecting member has a threaded hole and the second connecting member has a connecting hole, and the first connecting member and the second connecting member are connected by screws; and / or the first connecting member has a snap-on protrusion and the second connecting member includes a snap-on recess arranged on the light-emitting element carrier; and / or the first connecting member is welded to the first mounting element or is integrally formed with the first mounting element or is detachably connected to the first mounting element.

[0019] Thus, the assembly of the light-emitting trim strip assembly is achieved in a simple and detachable connection manner.

[0020] In one or more examples, the light-emitting trim assembly further includes a light-transmitting shield for covering the light-emitting element; and / or the shield is disposed between the light-emitting element carrier and the trim; and / or the shield is assembled with the light-emitting element carrier and the trim mounting member by means of the assembly. Thus, the light-transmitting shield protects the light-emitting element without affecting the transmission of light.

[0021] In one or more examples, the luminous trim assembly is arranged on a motor vehicle to be used as a decorative part, thereby better highlighting the cool effect and beautiful appearance of the motor vehicle at night. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The luminous trim strip assembly disclosed in the present invention can be applied to various decorative occasions. This article takes the application of the luminous trim strip assembly to automobile trim as an example for explanation.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 According to the present disclosure, the light-emitting trim assembly 1 includes a trim 10 and a light-emitting element 20. The trim 10 has at least a light-transmissive substrate layer 12 and an opaque light-shielding layer 14. The substrate layer 12 has an outer side and an inner side. As used herein, the outer side is the side of the substrate layer 12 that faces away from the light-emitting element 20, and the inner side is the side of the substrate layer 12 that faces the light-emitting element 20. The light-emitting element 20 is disposed on the inner side of the trim 10. The light-emitting element 20 can be disposed to be spaced a distance from the trim 10. The light-shielding layer 14 is applied to the inner side of the substrate layer 12 and a predetermined light-transmissive pattern 18 is formed in the light-shielding layer 14 to allow light emitted from the light-emitting element 20 to be visible from the outside through the light-transmissive pattern 18 and through the substrate layer 12. Moreover, the outer surface of the trim 10 is a structure-free continuous smooth surface, that is, there is no obvious visible concave-convex portion caused by the formation of the light-transmissive pattern. Since the light-transmitting pattern 18 is formed on the inner side of the substrate layer 12 , any obvious visible traces of unevenness caused by the light-transmitting pattern cannot be touched or seen from the outer surface of the decorative strip 10 , thereby providing a beautiful appearance.

[0036] The substrate layer 12 is made of a transparent material by injection molding. The transparent material is, for example, a transparent PP / PC material. The thickness of the substrate layer 12 is usually 2.5-3.2 mm, preferably 2.5 mm. The thickness of the substrate layer should not only ensure that the decorative strip has sufficient strength and is lightweight, but also consider cost savings.

[0037] The light shielding layer 14 can be formed by spraying black paint on the inner side of the substrate layer to shield the light emitted by the light emitting element 20. Specifically, the light shielding layer can be formed of a black primer or other opaque materials. The light-transmitting pattern 18 is formed by removing part of the light-transmitting layer material on the light shielding layer 14 by laser engraving. As a result, the light emitted by the light emitting element 20 can pass through the light-transmitting pattern 18 and be transmitted to the outside of the decorative strip 10, so that the shining light-transmitting pattern 18 can be seen from the outside of the decorative strip 10 (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 3), while the remaining part of the light-shielding layer 14 blocks the light and is not visible from the outside of the decorative strip 10. Laser engraving is a process of surface treatment using optical principles. Compared with the prior art solution of punching holes in decorative strips to allow light to pass through, the laser engraving process allows users to obtain a predetermined light-transmitting pattern as needed, with a high degree of design freedom, which can meet the different customization needs of customers and will not endanger the overall strength of the decorative strip 10. The thickness of the light-shielding layer 14 is generally 30-50 microns, preferably 30 microns. The 30-micron thick light-shielding layer 14 ensures that the light-transmitting pattern can be well laser engraved and saves costs.

[0038] According to the present disclosure, the light-emitting trim assembly 1 may further include a coating provided on the outer side of the substrate layer 12, specifically a metal layer 16 with partial light transmittance. The color of the metal layer 16 may be selected from one of black, gray, and silver. These common metal colors are suitable for matching the color of the car body. The light transmittance of the metal layer 16 may be between 5% and 20%, so that the user cannot see the light-transmitting pattern through the metal layer 16 from the outside during non-light-emitting periods, but can also see the bright light-transmitting pattern 18 from the outside when the light-emitting element 20 is emitting light. Since the metal layer 16 is partially light-transmitting and the light-transmitting pattern 18 is on the inner side of the substrate layer, the user can see the beautiful appearance with metallic luster from the outside during non-light-emitting periods while the light-transmitting pattern is invisible, but the user can see the bright and beautiful light-transmitting pattern from the outside during light-emitting periods (see Figure 3 ).

[0039] Specifically, the metal layer 16 can be a vacuum electroplating layer, which is applied to the outer side of the substrate layer 12 by vacuum electroplating. More specifically, the metal layer 16 can be a vacuum metal ion plating layer, which is applied to the outer side of the substrate layer 12 by vacuum metal ion plating. Vacuum plating refers to depositing various metal or non-metallic films on the surface to be treated by distillation or sputtering under vacuum conditions to obtain a very thin surface coating with good adhesion. The metal layer 16 selects metal elements with good light transmittance for precipitation. The metal layer 16 obtained by vacuum metal ion plating has a good metallic feel and glossiness, and can provide a beautiful metallic luster that matches the color of the car body. The thickness of the metal layer 16 is generally not more than 1 micron, preferably 1 micron. In this way, the metal layer 16 hardly affects the size of the trim 10, and also improves the physical and chemical properties of the outer surface of the trim, and no further processing is required after plating. Moreover, the metal layer 16 also provides an aesthetic appearance that matches the car body. In addition, compared with painting or other coating methods, vacuum plating is safer, more energy-efficient, reduces noise and pollutant emissions, which has certain benefits for sustainable development and lower carbon emissions.

[0040] The manufacturing process of the decorative strip 10 may include, for example: injection molding a substrate layer 12 with a transparent material such as PP / PC, spraying a black primer on the inner side of the substrate layer 12 to form a light-shielding layer 14; then laser engraving a predetermined light-transmitting pattern 18 on the light-shielding layer 14 by laser engraving; and then vacuum plating on the outer side of the substrate layer 12 to form a metal layer 16, thereby forming a light-transmitting decorative strip 10. The decorative strip 10 formed in this way does not need to open a through hole on the substrate layer 12 to transmit light, thereby ensuring the structural integrity and strength of the decorative strip.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 According to the present disclosure, the light-emitting trim assembly 1 may further include an assembly structure configured to carry the trim 10 and the light-emitting element 20 and assemble the two together. The assembly structure includes a trim mounting member 30, a light-emitting element carrier 22, and an assembly member that assembles the trim mounting member and the light-emitting element carrier together.

[0042] The molding mounting member 30 is configured to carry the molding 10 and mount it to the vehicle body structure 40. The molding mounting member 30 includes a first mounting element 32 arranged on opposite sides of the molding 10 for supporting a first end of the molding and a second mounting element 34 for supporting a second end of the molding, thereby carrying and fixing the molding 10 from opposite sides. The first mounting element 32 includes an inner end that carries the first end of the molding 10 and an outer end that is mounted to the vehicle body structure (not shown). The inner end of the first mounting element 32 has a curved connection portion that supports the first end of the molding 10. The second mounting element 34 includes an inner end that carries the second end of the molding 10 and an outer end that is mounted to the vehicle body structure 40. The inner end of the second mounting element 34 has a curved connection portion that supports the second end of the molding 10.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 , the light emitting element carrier 22 is configured to carry the light emitting element 20. The light emitting element 20 can be selected from light emitting elements of various types or structures. For example, the light emitting element can select RGB or other light emitting panels to achieve light emitting effects of different colors. Light emitting elements of various types or structures are installed on the light emitting element carrier 22 adapted to its structure as desired. The adapted light emitting element carrier 22 is conducive to stably carrying the light emitting element 20 and saving occupied space. The light emitting element 20 is detachably fixed to the light emitting element carrier 22 for easy replacement.

[0044] exist Figure 2In the example shown, the assembly may include a first connector 36 and a second connector. The first connector 36 protrudes inward from the first mounting element 32, specifically protruding inward at a position adjacent to the inner end. The second connector is arranged on the light emitting element carrier 22 for detachably fixing the light emitting element carrier 22 to the first connector 36. The first connector has a threaded hole and the second connector has a connecting hole, and the first connector and the second connector are connected by a screw 26. In an example not shown, the first connector may be a snap-on protrusion protruding inward from the first mounting element 32 and the second connector may be a snap-on recess arranged on the light emitting element carrier 22, thereby realizing a detachable snap-on connection. The first connector 36 may be welded to the first mounting element 32. The first connector 36 may be detachably connected to the first mounting element 32. Alternatively, the first connector 36 may be formed integrally with the first mounting element 32. Thus, the trim mounting and the light emitting element carrier may be assembled together and then fixed to the vehicle body structure, thereby realizing a simple and detachable connection.

[0045] exist Figure 2 In the example shown, the light-emitting trim assembly 1 may also include a light-transmitting shield 24 for covering the light-emitting element 20. The shield 24 may be made of a transparent material to allow the light emitted by the light-emitting element 20 to pass through. The shield 24 is disposed between the light-emitting element carrier 22 and the trim 10 to protect the light-emitting element 20. The shield 24 may be fixed to the first connector 36 by means of a screw 26, so as to be installed in a simple and detachable manner. The shield 24 and the light-emitting element carrier 22 may be fixed to the vehicle body structure 40 by means of another screw at the other end. In an example not shown, the shield 24 may be omitted. In the presence of the shield 24, when the light-emitting element 20 emits light, the light may be transmitted through the shield 24 and through the light-transmitting pattern 18 formed in the light-shielding layer 14, the light-transmitting substrate layer 12 and the partially light-transmitting metal layer 16 to the outside, so that the user can see the desired flash from the outside, so that the car can also better highlight the cool effect and the beautiful appearance contour at night. Thus, the shield protects the light-emitting element without affecting the transmission of light.

[0046] The optional shield 24 may have corresponding mounting holes to be assembled with the light emitting element carrier 22 and the first mounting element 32 of the decorative strip 10 by means of the above-mentioned assembly. Of course, other assembly configurations that can assemble the decorative strip 10 and the light emitting element 20 together are also feasible. In an example not shown, a similar assembly may also be provided at the second mounting element 34.

[0047] The light-emitting trim assembly 1 can be arranged on a motor vehicle as a decorative part. For example, the light-emitting trim assembly 1 can be arranged on the bumper of a car, so that the car can better highlight the cool effect and beautiful appearance contour at night.
