[0020] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementations, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0021] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only used to schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the illustrations only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.
[0022] Car position lights are usually installed at the front and rear of the vehicle to indicate the location and presence of the vehicle. Car position lights generally include light sources, lenses, lampshades and other components; the light source uses a common bulb or the LED light source commonly used in vehicles. LEDs are more durable and can provide higher brightness lighting; lenses and lampshades are used to diffuse and focus light, and the shape is usually round or square; car position lights are mainly used to provide vehicle location information, so that other vehicles and pedestrians can correctly judge the location of the vehicle. At night or in low visibility conditions, they can assist other drivers to notice and avoid collisions with your vehicle. Position lights emit white light forward and red light backward, allowing other vehicles and pedestrians to see more easily and take appropriate actions when necessary.
[0023] According to relevant regulations, position lights need to provide sufficient brightness so that other vehicles and pedestrians can clearly see the vehicle. The brightness must comply with national or regional regulatory standards to ensure proper visibility under different environmental conditions. Front position lights usually use white light, and rear position lights usually use red light. These colors are generally accepted in most countries and regions because they provide good contrast and recognizability. Position lights are usually installed at the front and rear of the vehicle, and their positions need to comply with relevant regulations. For example, front position lights are usually located at the outermost edge of the front of the vehicle, and rear position lights are usually located on both sides of the rear of the vehicle. Position lights need to have good durability and reliability to ensure that they work stably for a long time. They should be able to withstand adverse weather conditions such as rain, dust and high temperature.
[0024] The above-mentioned series of rigid requirements for position lights limit the appearance design of position lights and cannot meet the personalized needs of users for the appearance of the vehicle. For this reason, the utility model adds a set of position lights with a scattering effect on the basis of the existing position lights. The position lights can provide a richer design dimension for the appearance of the lights while meeting relevant laws and regulations, so as to meet the users' needs for the ornamental value of position lights.
[0025] See also Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the technical solution of the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:
[0026] See also Figure 1 As shown, the position light provided by an embodiment of the utility model includes a first light module and a second light module; the first light module includes a first light source 10, and the first light module is configured so that the direct light emitted by the first light source 10 can be observed from the outside of the vehicle; the second light module includes a second light source 20 and a scattering surface 22, and the second light module is configured so that the direct light emitted by the second light source 20 can be shielded from the outside of the vehicle, the scattering surface 22 can be observed from the outside of the vehicle, and the light beam emitted by the second light source 20 can be projected onto the scattering surface 22.
[0027] The first lighting module can provide eye-catching lighting effects to meet the requirements of relevant regulations for position lights. The second lighting module can produce softer heat dissipation light. Scattered light refers to the random reflection and refraction of light when it encounters obstacles or media. Compared with light propagating in a straight line, scattered light has the following advantages in appearance and practicality: Scattered light can make the light diffuse evenly into the surrounding environment, avoiding the situation where the light is too concentrated in a specific area. It can reduce dazzling reflections and shadows and provide a softer lighting effect. Scattered light can reduce or avoid the problem of glare. Glare is the discomfort and visual interference caused by strong direct light entering the eyes. By increasing the presence of scattered light, the light will be more evenly distributed in the environment, reducing the chance of direct light entering the eyes, thereby reducing the impact of glare; scattered light can increase the visibility of objects in the environment. When the light is scattered, it will illuminate the surrounding objects and spread to a wider area, which means that we can see the surrounding objects and environmental details more clearly, rather than just focusing on a specific area; the presence of scattered light can increase the three-dimensional sense and texture of objects. Scattered light will illuminate the surface of objects and produce tiny reflections and refractions, making objects look more real and textured, and can create a more layered and delicate effect, which is particularly important for vehicle exterior design. In general, the benefit of scattered light is that it can provide uniform, soft, and glare-reducing lighting effects, while enhancing the visibility, three-dimensional sense, and texture of objects, which increases the freedom of vehicle exterior design and can meet diversified market needs.
[0028] See also Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the utility model, the first light module is at least arranged on both sides of the front end of the vehicle or on both sides of the rear end of the vehicle. It should be understood that the first light module plays a major warning role. Arranging the first light module on both sides of the front end or rear end of the vehicle can clearly show the size of the vehicle so that other pedestrians or vehicles can avoid it.
[0029] See also Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the utility model, the second light module is arranged at the front end or rear end of the vehicle, and the second light module is arranged throughout the front end or rear end of the vehicle. The second light module can form a large-area light-emitting surface at the front end or rear end of the vehicle, which is convenient for other pedestrians or vehicles to see the appearance details of itself, further improving safety. At the same time, the shape and contour of the light-emitting surface can be freely designed in multiple dimensions to meet user needs. It should be understood that the distribution area of the second light module is not unique. For example, in some other embodiments, the second light module can also be arranged only on both sides of the front end or rear end of the vehicle, or in the middle of the front end or rear end of the vehicle, or intermittently along the width direction of the vehicle.
[0030] See also Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the utility model, the first lighting module also includes a light guide 11, and the light guide 11 is installed on the outside of the first light source 10, and the light guide 11 is configured to be able to shape the divergent light emitted by the first light source 10 into parallel light. In a further specific embodiment, the light guide 11 can be, for example, a transparent or translucent optical element, and the light guide 11 can gather the divergent light emitted by the first light source 10 into parallel light by refraction, reflection, etc., so that the light emitted by the first lighting module is more eye-catching. The light-emitting surface of the light guide 11 can be provided with some patterns, which can improve the uniformity of the light on the one hand, and make the light show a specific appearance effect on the other hand.
[0031] See also Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the utility model, the light beam of the second light source 20 is emitted in a direction toward the inside of the vehicle, and the second light module further includes a reflector 21 disposed inside the second light source 20, and the reflector 21 is configured to reflect the light beam emitted by the second light source 20 to the scattering surface 22. The second light source 20 may be an LED lamp bead, and it should be understood that the LED lamp bead is a point light source. Therefore, in order to utilize the light beam emitted by the second light source 20 as much as possible, the reflector 21 may be a curved reflector 21, and the curved reflector 21 may reflect the divergent light into parallel light, thereby making it easier for the light beam to be transmitted to the designated area of the scattering surface 22. Further, for example, the reflector 21 may be set as a parabolic mirror, and the second light source 20 may be set at the focus of the parabolic mirror. The utility model hides the second light source 20 in an area that is not visible from the outside of the vehicle, which can eliminate the interference of the second light source 20 on the scattered light and further enhance the appearance effect of the scattered light.
[0032] See also Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the utility model, the scattering surface 22 is located on the outer surface of the front bumper 40 or the rear bumper of the vehicle. The bumper is an important element in the exterior design of the vehicle. The bumper is usually located at the front and rear of the vehicle, and can provide a certain protection function for the vehicle. When the vehicle collides or hits, the bumper can absorb part of the impact energy, reduce the degree of damage caused by the accident, and protect other parts of the vehicle; the bumper is one of the important elements in the exterior design of the vehicle. Its shape, lines and material can have an important impact on the overall appearance of the vehicle. A beautifully designed bumper can make the vehicle more dynamic and streamlined, and form a harmonious appearance ratio with the body. The bumper plays an important role in the exterior design of the vehicle. It can not only provide protection for the vehicle, but also make the vehicle more beautiful, brand-recognizable and personalized; the utility model sets the scattering surface 22 on the bumper of the vehicle, which can significantly improve the safety and ornamental of the vehicle.
[0033] See also Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the utility model, a position light mask 30 is further included, the first light source 10 and the second light source 20 are located on the inner side of the position light mask 30, and the scattering surface 22 is located on the outer side of the position light mask 30. The position light mask 30 can protect the light source and optical elements to prevent external moisture, dust, etc. from damaging the lamp. In addition, the position light mask 30 can be set to different colors, for example, the position light mask 30 at the rear end of the vehicle can be set to red, and the position light mask 30 at the front end of the vehicle can be set to transparent.
[0034] See also Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation surface is provided with a reflective pattern, which can further enhance the reflective texture of the scattering surface 22, present a striking appearance, and improve safety.
[0035] See also Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the second light source 20 and the reflector 21 are located at the rear side of the front end of the vehicle front hood 50. It should be understood that the vehicle front hood is generally made of sheet metal and can completely block light. The present invention arranges the second light source 20 at the rear side of the front hood 50, which can completely solve the light leakage problem of the second light source 20.
[0036] Based on the above position lights, the present invention also claims protection for a vehicle including the above position lights.
[0037] In summary, the first lighting module can provide eye-catching lighting effects to meet the requirements of relevant regulations for position lights. The second lighting module can produce softer heat dissipation light. Scattered light can evenly diffuse light into the surrounding environment, avoiding the situation where light is too concentrated in a specific area. It can reduce dazzling reflections and shadows and provide a softer lighting effect. Scattered light can reduce or avoid the problem of glare. Glare is the discomfort and visual interference caused by strong direct light entering the eyes. By increasing the presence of scattered light, the light will be more evenly distributed in the environment, reducing the chance of direct light entering the eyes, thereby reducing the impact of glare. Scattered light can increase the visibility of objects in the environment. When the light is scattered, it will illuminate the surrounding objects and diffuse to a wider area, which means that we can see the surrounding objects and environmental details more clearly, rather than just concentrating in a specific area. The presence of scattered light can increase the three-dimensional sense and texture of objects. Scattered light will illuminate the surface of the object and produce tiny reflections and refractions, making the object look more real and textured, and can create a more layered and delicate effect, which is particularly important for vehicle exterior design. In general, the advantage of scattered light is that it can provide uniform, soft, and glare-reducing lighting effects, while enhancing the visibility, three-dimensionality, and texture of objects, which increases the degree of freedom in vehicle exterior design and can meet diversified market demands; the utility model sets the scattering surface 22 on the vehicle's bumper, which can significantly improve the safety and ornamental value of the vehicle; the utility model sets the second light source 20 on the rear side of the front hood 50, which can completely solve the light leakage problem of the second light source 20.
