[0038] In addition, for the convenience of description, in this embodiment, the width direction of the vehicle body (i.e., the arrangement direction of the main driver's seat and the co-driver's seat) is pre-defined as the Y direction of the vehicle body, the length direction of the vehicle body (i.e., the arrangement direction of the front and the rear of the vehicle) is the X direction of the vehicle body, and the height direction of the vehicle body (i.e., the arrangement direction of the bottom and the roof of the vehicle) is the Z direction of the vehicle body.

[0039] Please also read Figures 1 to 6 The adjustable reading lamp provided by the present application is now described. The adjustable reading lamp provided by the present application comprises a lamp housing 1, a hose 2 and a lamp body 4.

[0040] The lamp housing 1 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the vehicle body facing the Y direction, and the fixing method can be selected from different structures such as pasting, welding, and clamping.

[0041] The lamp housing 1 has a hollow interior structure and has a through hole 11 disposed toward the interior of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the lamp housing 1 is composed of an upper cover, a main body, and a lower cover. The main body is in a door shape, and the upper cover, the main body, and the lower cover form an inner cavity of the lamp housing 1. In addition, a connecting plate is detachably connected to the main body by bolts, and the aforementioned through hole 11 is disposed on the connecting plate. After the upper cover, the main body, and the lower cover are assembled, the through hole 11 is connected to the space inside the main body. It should be noted that the lamp housing 1 is designed to be a detachable structure because it is convenient to replace, adjust, and repair its internal components.

[0042] The hose 2 is arranged in the lamp housing 1, and one end thereof passes through the through hole 11 and extends out; in this embodiment, the end of the hose 2 outside the lamp housing 1 is defined as the outer end of the hose 2, and the end of the hose 2 inside the lamp housing 1 is defined as the inner end of the hose 2.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the hose 2 is made of metal or plastic; after the hose 2 is extended out of the lamp housing 1, the hose 2 can be propped up without human intervention to support the heavy object connected thereto.

[0044] In this embodiment, a reeling mechanism 3 is connected to the hose 2; the reeling mechanism 3 is connected to the inner end of the hose 2 and can pull the hose 2 toward the inner side of the lamp housing 1 so that the hose 2 is stored in the lamp housing 1. It should be noted that the reeling mechanism 3 only has the function of pulling the hose 2 inward (when in use) and does not have the function of restricting the hose 2 from moving outward.

[0045] The lamp body 4 is fixedly connected to the protruding end of the hose 2 and can generate a light source projected outwards.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the distance between the lamp body 4 and the lamp housing 1 can be adjusted by pulling the hose 2 toward the outside of the lamp housing 1; on this basis, the portion of the hose 2 extending out of the lamp housing 1 can play a role in supporting the lamp body 4, ensuring that the light source projected by the lamp body 4 can act on different areas inside and outside the vehicle. In addition, the hose 2 can be retracted into the lamp housing 1 through the reeling mechanism 3 to reset the lamp body 4.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the adjustable reading lamp provided in this embodiment enables the light source projection range of the reading lamp to be adjustable, thereby extending the illumination range of the reading lamp.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the winding mechanism 3 includes a winding shaft 31 .

[0049] The reel 31 is arranged in the lamp housing 1, with its axial direction parallel to the Z direction of the vehicle body, and its outer peripheral wall is connected to the inner end of the hose 2; one end of the reel 31 passes through the lamp housing 1 and extends out, that is, it is connected to the lamp housing 1 in rotation along the Z direction of the vehicle body in this way.

[0050] By adopting the above technical solution, when the reel 31 rotates around its own central axis, the hose 2 is wound around the reel 31; at the same time, since one end of the reel 31 extends out of the lamp housing 1, the rotation of the reel 31 can be controlled by manual operation.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the winding mechanism 3 further includes a driving member 32 .

[0052] The driving member 32 is fixedly disposed on the lamp housing 1 and is drivingly connected to the protruding end of the winding shaft 31 so as to drive the winding shaft 31 to rotate around its central axis.

[0053] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the driving member 32 is a rotating driving motor, which is fixed to the lamp housing 1 via a bracket, and is coaxially connected to the winding shaft 31; when the rotating driving motor is started, the power output shaft of the rotating driving motor rotates and drives the winding shaft 31 to rotate.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the spacing in the lamp housing 1 along the Z direction of the vehicle body is less than twice the outer diameter of the hose 2 .

[0055] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hose 2 is received in the lamp housing 1 , the hose 2 cannot be stacked, that is, the hose 2 can only have one layer; thereby, the hose 2 is prevented from blocking the through hole 11 , thereby ensuring that the hose 2 can stably enter and exit the through hole 11 .

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the hose 2 is completely received in the lamp housing 1 , the lamp body 4 abuts against the outer wall of the lamp housing 1 ; for the convenience of description, this state is defined as the reset state of the lamp body 4 .

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a limiting plate 6 with a notch is rotatably connected to the side of the lamp housing 1 facing the interior of the vehicle, and the rotation axis of the limiting plate 6 is parallel to the axis of the through hole 11 .

[0058] When the hose 2 is received in the lamp housing 1, the lamp body 4 abuts against the outer side surface of the lamp housing 1; at the same time, the limit plate 6 is suitable for rotating until the notch is on the outside or inside of the lamp body 4, so as to abut or avoid the lamp body 4 respectively; specifically, when the notch is on the outside of the lamp body 4, the limit plate 6 located on the inside of the lamp body 4 can abut against the lamp body 4, so as to cooperate with the outer wall of the lamp housing 1 to limit the axial movement of the lamp body 4 along the through hole 11; when the notch is on the inside of the lamp body 4, the notch surface is coplanar with the end face of the lamp body 4 facing the X direction of the vehicle body, or is outside the end face of the lamp body 4, so as to avoid the moving trajectory of the lamp body 4 away from the lamp housing 1, and ensure that the lamp body 4 can move away from the lamp housing 1 and the hose 2 can be pulled toward the outside of the lamp housing 1.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer side surface of the lamp housing 1 also has a sinking groove 12 coaxially connected to the through hole 11, and the connection between the lamp body 4 and the hose 2 has a convex ring 42 suitable for being embedded in the sinking groove 12; specifically, when the hose 2 is completely received in the lamp housing 1, the lamp body 4 abuts against the outer wall of the lamp housing 1, and the convex ring 42 is embedded in the sinking groove 12.

[0060] By adopting the above technical solution, when the protruding ring 42 is embedded in the sinking groove 12, the outer peripheral wall of the protruding ring 42 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the sinking groove 12 to limit the radial movement of the hose 2 and ensure the stability of the lamp body 4 in the reset state.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a guide tube 5 made of hard material and connected to the through hole 11 is fixedly arranged in the lamp housing 1; the aforementioned hose 2 is inserted into the guide tube 5, and the outer wall of the hose 2 and the inner wall of the guide tube 5 are interference fit.

[0062] By adopting the above technical solution, after the hose 2 passes through the guide tube 5, the inner wall of the guide tube 5 can clamp the hose 2 and make the hose 2 tend to be straight, so as to be wound around the reel 31, or to be manually bent and the fixed angle of the lamp body 4 is selected.

[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, in the direction from the through hole 11 toward the winding mechanism 3 (specifically toward the winding shaft 31 ), the guide tube 5 is arranged to be inclined along the X direction of the vehicle body.

[0064] By adopting the above technical solution, since the spacing between the through hole 11 and the winding mechanism 3 is limited, the guide tube 5 is designed to be in an inclined state, which can ensure that the length of the guide tube 5 is sufficient to act on the straightening process of the hose 2, thereby improving the stability of the product when in use.

[0065] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lamp body 4 has two light emitting parts 41 for emitting light toward and away from the hose 2 respectively; in actual design, the implementation of the two light emitting parts 41 includes the following two technical solutions:

[0066] First, the main shell is designed as a double-sided light-emitting structure, specifically, the main shell is made of a light-proof, hollow material, the light source is fixed inside the main shell, and openings are provided on both sides of the main shell in the up and down directions for the light source to project out;

[0067] Secondly, the lamp is equipped with two different light output modules. For example, multiple LED patches are fixed on the upper and lower sides of the main shell respectively. Under the action of numerical control, the two groups of LED patches are turned on at the same time to achieve the visual effect of double-sided light output.

[0068] By adopting the above technical solution, after the hose 2 is pulled out of the lamp housing 1, the hose 2 can support the lamp body 4 to the two light emitting parts 41 facing the upper and lower sides respectively; at this time, part of the light source projected by the light emitting part 41 on the upper side can act on the reading environment under the reflection of the roof, and the light source projected by the light emitting part 41 on the lower side can directly act on the reading environment. The two are coordinated to realize the lighting of the reading environment and meet the brightness requirements for eye protection.

[0069] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a car, comprising the adjustable reading light proposed in any of the aforementioned items.

[0070] The beneficial effects of the automobile provided by this embodiment are the same as the beneficial effects of the aforementioned adjustable reading light, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
