Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a semi-transmissive sunshade structure and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Some vehicles use a semi-transparent sun visor structure, which includes a semi-transparent semi-transparent part. The semi-transparent sun visor structure can improve the user's field of vision. The semi-transparent sun visor structure in the prior art has the following problems:

[0003] The semi-transparent part of the semi-transparent sunshade structure usually adopts the following two implementation schemes: the first is to use electrochromic schemes such as liquid crystal; the second is to use transparent materials to manufacture the semi-transparent part, and reduce the transmittance by adding light-absorbing materials into the transparent material or covering the surface of the semi-transparent part with a semi-transparent film. The use of electrochromic schemes such as liquid crystal has the problems of high cost and insufficient safety performance, and the above two schemes have the problem of single function. For example, it is difficult to form a makeup mirror and fill light in the semi-transparent part of the semi-transparent sunshade structure.

[0004] The fill light of the semi-transparent sun visor structure is usually installed on a mounting base of the semi-transparent sun visor structure, and the mounting base is usually set on the upper part of the semi-transparent sun visor structure, which limits the setting position of the fill light and leads to a poor user experience of the fill light.

[0005] Setting the fill light on the mounting base of the semi-transparent sunshade structure will cause the mounting base to be larger in size. The larger mounting base will occupy the layout space of the semi-transparent part of the semi-transparent sunshade structure, thus limiting the area of ​​the semi-transparent part of the semi-transparent sunshade structure.

[0006] For example, in a car sun visor with a reed switch-controlled fill light proposed in a patent application with application number CN202022365850.5, the fill light is arranged at the cover plate. The size of the cover plate is large, and the position of the fill light is located at the upper part of the car sun visor, and the user experience of the fill light is not good.

[0029] The following will describe the implementation of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. 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 understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention, not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the drawings 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 at will, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A semi-transparent sunshade structure shown includes a semi-transparent sunshade body 1, the sunshade body 1 includes a transparent plate 11 and a semi-transparent metal coating 12 covering the front of the transparent plate 11, and at least a portion of the front of the semi-transparent metal coating 12 is configured as a semi-transparent mirror. By adopting the above technical solution, a semi-transparent sunshade structure can be formed by using the transparent plate 11 and the semi-transparent metal coating 12, and the semi-transparent metal coating 12 can easily form a semi-transparent mirror, which can be used as a makeup mirror.

[0032] In actual use, in dim light conditions, the semi-transparent mirror surface can be used as a makeup mirror. In strong sunlight, the semi-transparent metal coating 12 can maintain a certain degree of light transmittance, allowing the user to have a visual field. In specific implementation, the size and position of the semi-transparent mirror surface can be set according to demand, and the front surface of the semi-transparent metal coating layer 12 can be set to a semi-transparent mirror surface.

[0033] In some embodiments, the transparent plate 11 is a polycarbonate plate. The polycarbonate plate has good anti-fracture performance, which helps to improve the safety performance of the sun visor body 1. The polycarbonate plate also has good optical properties and can meet the requirements of the transparent plate 11. Obviously, in specific implementation, the transparent plate 11 can also be made of other materials that meet the requirements, such as other plastic materials.

[0034] In some embodiments, the semi-transparent metal coating 12 is an aluminum coating. The aluminum coating can meet the requirements of the semi-transparent metal coating 12 and has the characteristics of being easy to implement and low in cost. In addition, forming an aluminum coating on a polycarbonate plate has the characteristics of good use effect and easy implementation. In specific implementation, the aluminum coating can be attached to the transparent plate 11 by a vacuum aluminum coating process. The light transmittance of the aluminum coating can be controlled by controlling the thickness of the aluminum coating. For example, an aluminum coating with a light transmittance of 30%-50% can meet the requirements of the semi-transparent metal coating 12.

[0035] In some embodiments, the surface of the sun visor body 1 is covered with a protective layer. The protective layer can prevent the transparent plate 11 from being worn and scratched due to long-term use, and the protective layer can also protect the aluminum layer to prevent it from being oxidized or corroded. The provision of the protective layer helps to ensure the light transmittance of the sun visor body 1 and the reflective effect of the cosmetic mirror. In specific implementation, the protective layer can be formed by spraying or pouring a transparent coating.

[0036] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a light incident portion 14 is provided on the transparent plate 11, and a plurality of light reflecting portions 16 are constructed inside the transparent plate 11; at least a portion of the light incident into the interior of the transparent plate 11 through the light incident portion 14 is reflected by the plurality of light reflecting portions 16 and then emitted from the front side of the semi-transparent metal coating 12. The light emitted from the front side of the semi-transparent metal coating 12 can provide fill light for the user, that is, a new fill light suitable for a semi-transparent sunshade structure is formed. The fill light has less restrictions on the position of the light source 2 that provides light to the light incident portion 14, reduces the requirements on the size of the mounting seat, reduces the restrictions on the area of ​​the sunshade body 1, and helps to increase the area of ​​the semi-transparent part of the semi-transparent sunshade structure.

[0037] In specific implementation, the light emission position and emission range can be set according to the use requirements, which improves the user experience of the fill light with a semi-transparent sunshade structure. In addition, since the semi-transparent metal coating 12 is directly formed on the front of the transparent plate 11, the light can be more smoothly emitted from the transparent plate 11 into the semi-transparent metal coating 12, which provides convenience for realizing the above-mentioned fill light and can ensure the lighting effect of the fill light.

[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the light incident portion 14 is arranged at the upper edge of the transparent plate 11. The mounting seat of the semi-transparent sunshade structure is usually arranged at the upper edge of the transparent plate 11. The light incident portion 14 is arranged at the upper edge of the transparent plate 11, and the light source 2 in the mounting seat can be used to provide light for the light incident portion 14, which has the characteristic of being easy to implement.

[0039] As a specific example, Figure 1 As shown, a corner notch 13 is provided at the upper corner of the sun visor body 1 on the side closer to the vehicle side door, the corner notch 13 forms a mounting seat arrangement space, and the light incident portion 14 is provided on the wall surface of the corner notch 13 .

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the plurality of light reflecting parts 16 are distributed in an array, and the plurality of light reflecting parts 16 distributed in an array enable the fill light to form a uniform lighting effect. In a specific implementation, the back of the transparent plate 11 has a reflection area 15, and the plurality of light reflecting parts 16 are evenly arranged in the reflection area 15. The uniform arrangement of the plurality of light reflecting parts 16 can form a uniform lighting effect. In a specific implementation, the position, shape and size of the reflection area 15 can be set according to actual use requirements.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the plurality of light reflecting parts 16 are pits respectively arranged on the back of the transparent plate 11. The reflecting surface formed by the pits can reflect the light inside the transparent plate 11. The pits play a role in changing the propagation direction of the light and diverging the light, so that the light plays an illumination role in a softer way. The use of pits to form the light reflecting parts 16 has the characteristic of being easy to implement. In specific implementation, the pits can be formed by laser engraving, or convex points can be set on the surface of the injection mold, and the convex points can be used to form the pits on the back of the transparent plate 11 during the injection molding process of the transparent plate 11. The shape of the pit can be, but is not limited to, a hemispherical shape.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a light collimating surface for collimating the light incident through the light incident portion 14 into parallel light is provided on the light incident portion 14. Providing the light collimating surface can converge the divergent light into approximately parallel light, so as to enhance the brightness of the fill light.

[0043] In some embodiments, Figures 5 to 7As shown, the semi-transparent sunshade structure also includes a light source component 2 capable of emitting light to the light incident portion 14. By placing the light source component 2 at the light incident portion 14 and using the light source component 2 to provide light to the light incident portion 14, the fill light function can be realized. In a specific implementation, the light source component 2 can be a long strip of LED light source, and the LED light source includes a circuit board 21 extending along the width direction of the vehicle and a plurality of LED lamp beads 22 mounted on the circuit board 21, and the plurality of LED lamp beads 22 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the circuit board 21. The length of the light source component 2 can be arranged according to the size of the reflection area 15, and the light source component 2 can be installed in the mounting seat.

[0044] The utility model also provides a vehicle, comprising any one of the semi-transmissive sunshade structures described above.

[0045] It should be noted that when the sun visor body 1 is opened to a vertical position around the rotation axis extending along the width direction of the vehicle, the front surface of the transparent plate 11 is the back of the transparent plate 11, the rear surface of the transparent plate 11 is the front of the transparent plate 11, the upper edge of the transparent plate 11 is the upper edge of the transparent plate 11, and the rear surface of the semi-transparent metal coating 12 is the front of the semi-transparent metal coating 12.
