For solution b, when replacing the desiccant, the headlight needs to be disassembled, and the disassembly of the headlight is more troublesome. The present application uses a radiator to heat the recyclable desiccant to achieve the recycling of the desiccant, and at the same time cooperates with a breathable membrane to achieve the discharge of water vapor, which can adapt to the shape of the entire lamp and give the shape more adaptability. The method of using the waste heat of the radiator is more energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and low-carbon, and does not require the setting of an additional heat source.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] Those skilled in the art may understand this embodiment as a more specific description of Embodiment 1.

[0045] This embodiment provides an anti-fog vehicle lamp system, which mainly includes two subsystems: a moisture absorption device and a moisture removal device. The moisture absorption device is composed of four parts: a lamp internal module, a heat sink, a fixing structure and a desiccant.

[0046] The module inside the lamp is not limited to the low beam and high beam modules of the car headlights. With the development of car lighting technology, some new functions, such as DLP technology modules, may also have higher power and require a heat sink.

[0047] The heat sink is the heat sink of the module. Because the power of the module is generally large, punching holes on the conventional PCB board or increasing the copper thickness is not enough to achieve its heat dissipation. A larger aluminum or other metal heat sink is required. Due to different module heat sinks, their shapes are also different. Some are composed of multiple columns, some are composed of teeth, and some are composed of columns and teeth, etc., which are differentiated according to actual conditions.

[0048] The module inside the lamp includes a heat sink, that is, as a module assembly, the heat sink is one part of it. The heat sink is often fixed to the PCB lamp board to dissipate heat for LEDs or some high-power electronic components.

[0049] The fixing structure is a plastic part that fixes the desiccant according to the shape of the module heat sink and the weight of the desiccant required in the whole lamp. The fixing method can be based on the actual space and shape requirements of the whole lamp, such as clips or screws, to reasonably control the distance between the desiccant and the radiator.

[0050] Desiccant: Desiccant is a desiccant that can be used in a heating cycle and must meet automotive grade requirements. The specific desiccant can be a desiccant that uses a physical reaction or a chemical reaction as needed.

[0051] The fixed structure is used to fix the desiccant, fixing it on the radiator at a corresponding distance from the radiator. For example, it can be made into a fixed structure with adjustable distance, or based on the previous simulation calculation, the distance can be controlled, and it can be made into a sandwich-type fixing method, or a certain installation slot lamp can be made for it, which can be adjusted based on the specific space and situation.

[0052] The dehumidification device consists of four parts: the entire lamp housing, a breathable membrane, an adjustment mechanism and a motor.

[0053] The shell of the whole lamp is composed of two parts: the outer lens and the shell. The outer lens is the transparent light-emitting area, and the shell is the black area. The two are combined by gluing or welding. There are breathable membranes, adjustment mechanisms, etc. on the shell of the whole lamp.

[0054] Breathable membrane, which is installed on the housing of the car light, ensures air circulation inside and outside the light. The number of breathable membranes is determined according to the actual size, shape and shape of the light.

[0055] The breathable membrane is installed on the lamp housing of the whole lamp. It can be directly attached to the lamp housing or fixed in other ways according to the specific state of the breathable membrane.

[0056] The adjustment mechanism is located in one or more air permeable membrane areas in the lamp, and can open and close the air permeable membrane areas. The specific adjustment mechanism can be determined according to the actual space and shape of the lamp, and can be fixed on the housing as needed, or on the lining frame or bracket in the entire lamp.

[0057] The motor is used to control the opening and closing of the regulating mechanism. It can be fixed on the housing as needed, or on a lining frame or bracket inside the entire lamp.

[0058] The motor controls the movement of the adjustment mechanism, and the adjustment mechanism controls the opening and closing of the breathable membrane. The motor and the adjustment mechanism can be fixed on the lamp housing of the whole lamp. The motor can be a stepper motor or a motor according to needs. The specific adjustment system can be through several adjustment rods, and the adjustment method can also be designed according to specific actual conditions. It can also be fixed on the lining frame or bracket inside the whole lamp, and adjusted according to the actual space.

[0059] The desiccant in the lamp is always in the open state, and the desiccant is always in the hygroscopic state. If it is daytime, the desiccant is in the hygroscopic state, the breathable membrane is in the closed working state, and the desiccant absorbs the moisture in the lamp. Keep the whole lamp dry inside, and no fog is generated on the outer lens. At night or when the low beam or this high-power module starts to work, the radiator of the module generates heat. When the function is stable, the temperature of the radiator is maintained at about 80 to 90 degrees. At this time, the residual heat of the radiator can be used to heat the desiccant. The desiccant begins to release the moisture it absorbed during the day or before, that is, the water vapor in the lamp is large at this time, and the regulating mechanism is opened under the drive of the motor. The specific time when the regulating mechanism starts to work can be inferred by the lighting time of the module, and its fog release state, or it can be achieved by adding a humidity detection instrument in the lamp and other methods. The specific implementation method is determined according to the actual situation. The water vapor in the lamp is released to the outside of the lamp through the breathable membrane.

[0060] The core of the present invention is the optimized design of the whole lamp system of the vehicle lamp, which utilizes the waste heat of the module radiator to heat the desiccant, and the recycling of the desiccant, in conjunction with the adjustable opening and closing of the breathable membrane, realizes a fogging solution for the whole lamp.

[0061] Furthermore, the control circuit can be set to further determine the time for opening and closing the breathable membrane of the adjustment mechanism according to factors such as the actual performance of different desiccants and the temperature of the module heat sink. When the desiccant is completely dry, the breathable membrane is closed.

[0062] Furthermore, according to the actual conditions of desiccants with different performances and radiators of different modules, the distance from the desiccant to the module radiator is adjusted to ensure the most efficient operation of the system.

[0063] Furthermore, the desiccant fixed next to the radiator of the module can be set to be position-adjustable. When the module works for a long time and the desiccant has been dried, the position of the desiccant can be moved away.

[0064] The present invention provides a whole lamp fogging solution by heating a recyclable desiccant through a radiator of a module inside the whole lamp, and cooperating with a breathable membrane with an adjustable switch on a whole lamp housing.
