Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile electronic appliances, and in particular to an atmosphere lamp structure in which an aperture and a surface cover share a light source. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as a product for decorating cars and creating atmosphere, ambient lighting has gradually spread from high-end models to mid-range models. It has become a highlight element for embellishing interior decoration. It is usually used on car switches or panels.

[0003] The existing switch includes a shell, a cover for displaying characters, and a light source assembly located in the shell. The light source assembly includes a PCB board and an LED lamp. Usually, one LED lamp can illuminate the characters on the cover. However, the cover is a light-shielding member. When an aperture is set on the outside of the cover, a separate light source is usually required to illuminate it, resulting in a more complicated light source structure in the shell and high manufacturing cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an atmosphere lamp structure with an aperture and a face cover sharing a light source, comprising a shell, a knob and a face cover located inside the knob, the face cover being provided with light-transmissive characters, the shell being provided with a PCB board and an LED lamp electrically connected to the PCB board, the shell being provided with a light guide, the light guide comprising a light guide column and an aperture, the face cover being embedded in the upper end face of the aperture, a sleeve being integrally arranged or fixed in the shell, the light guide column being inserted into the sleeve and corresponding to the LED lamp, a light guiding surface being provided at the upper end face of the aperture corresponding to the characters, the light source of the LED lamp being refracted and reflected by the light guiding surface to illuminate the face cover characters and the periphery of the aperture.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover characters and the aperture can be illuminated simultaneously by one LED lamp, without the need for extra light sources, thus saving costs.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the light-guiding surface is an arc surface formed by a downward depression in the center of the aperture.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the angle formed between the two side walls of the arc curved surface is 120°-160°.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the incident angle of the light source can be adjusted by changing the angle between the arc surfaces to adjust the brightness of the cover and the aperture.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the aperture is provided with a groove for the surface cover to be embedded, and the light-guiding surface is arranged at the center of the groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the light guide column, light guide surface and face cover are coaxially arranged, the light source reaches the aperture position through the guide column, and is distributed to the aperture and face cover after refraction and reflection by the light guide surface, so that the face cover characters and the periphery of the aperture can be illuminated at the same time.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a dimming plate located in the groove is arranged between the surface cover and the aperture, and the dimming plate is coaxially arranged with the light guide surface.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, adding a dimming film can change the color of the characters displayed on the cover, which has a guiding role in the subsequent development of similar products.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the light guide column is installed into the socket from top to bottom, and the housing and the light guide column are tightly matched to avoid looseness.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the casing is made of light-shielding material.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the light source is prevented from passing through the casing and radiating to the surroundings.
