[0027] The core of the utility model is to disclose a vehicle lamp which is easy to assemble and has a better appearance after assembly.

[0028] Another core of the present invention is to provide a vehicle comprising the above-mentioned vehicle lamp.

[0029] In order to make the technical personnel in this field better understand the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the embodiments shown below do not limit the contents of the utility model described in the claims. In addition, the entire contents of the structures represented by the following embodiments are not limited to those necessary for the solutions of the utility model described in the claims.

[0030] See also Figure 1-8 The vehicle lamp provided by the embodiment of the utility model mainly includes a main decorative frame 10 and a decorative ring 20, wherein the main decorative frame 10 is the main structure of the vehicle lamp, which constitutes the appearance of the vehicle lamp and plays the role of bearing other components. A circular mounting hole 110 is opened on the main decorative frame 10 for installing the decorative ring 20. The overall configuration of the decorative ring 20 is annular, which specifically includes a main body portion 210 and a connecting portion 220. The main body portion 210 and the connecting portion 220 are both annular in configuration. At the same time, the main body portion 210 and the connecting portion 220 are arranged at an acute angle and are fixedly connected to form an integral structure through the outer periphery of the two, so that the cross-sectional structure in the radial direction is a V-shaped cross-sectional structure. The purpose of the above structure is to enable the surface of the main body portion 210 to maintain a good and complete appearance structure, and the assembly of the decorative ring 20 on the main decorative frame 10 is completed by the setting of the connecting portion 220.

[0031] Specifically, a connecting boss 2210 structure is provided on the wall surface of one side of the connecting portion 220 facing the main body portion 210. Correspondingly, in order to meet the assembly requirements of the decorative ring 20, a mounting rib 120 is provided on the outer periphery of the mounting hole 110 on the main decorative frame 10, which is raised in the direction of the decorative ring 20. The mounting rib 120 is arranged toward the decorative ring 20 and will be covered by the decorative ring 20 during the assembly process without affecting the appearance of the lamp. At the same time, a docking groove 1210 is provided on the outer side wall of the mounting rib 120. It should be noted that the outer side wall here specifically refers to the mounting On the side of the rib 120 facing away from the center of the mounting hole 110, the docking groove 1210 is arranged on the outer side wall of the mounting rib 120 to maintain the structural integrity of the interior of the mounting rib 120, and the user will not find the complicated connection structure when observing the mounting hole 110 area from a large angle; it should also be noted that the docking groove 1210 and the connecting boss 2210 are arranged one-to-one, that is, each connecting boss 2210 has a docking groove 1210 and a single connecting boss 2210 can be snapped into a single docking groove 1210 to achieve snap-on assembly.

[0032] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the setting structure of the connection part 220 is specifically that its inner diameter size is smaller than the inner diameter size of the mounting rib 120, and the connection part 220 is made of a material with a certain deformation ability, and it can produce a certain expansion deformation when subjected to pressure in the axial direction. When assembling the decorative ring 20, it is only necessary to align the connection part 220 with the mounting rib 120 and apply pressure on one side of the decorative ring 20. The connection part 220 on the decorative ring 20 will be compressed and expanded until the inner diameter of the connection part 220 is not less than the inner diameter of the mounting rib 120, and make The mounting rib 120 is inserted into the area between the main body 210 and the connecting portion 220. At this time, the connecting boss 2210 on the connecting portion 220 will contact and engage with the docking groove 1210, so that the decorative ring 20 is assembled and connected to the main decorative frame 10. At the same time, since the mounting rib 120 is inserted into the area between the main body 210 and the connecting portion 220, the connecting boss 2210 and the docking groove 1210 will be hidden after the engagement. There is no connecting structure on the visible surface of the headlight, and the user cannot find an obvious connecting structure from all angles. The aesthetics of the headlight is improved while maintaining the connection.

[0033] It should be noted that under vehicle driving conditions, since the decorative ring 20 itself is relatively light and will not be subjected to external forces, the force applied to the main decorative frame 10 during driving will not be too large. Therefore, the clip-on structure connecting the boss 2210 and the docking groove 1210 is sufficient to achieve a stable connection between the decorative ring 20 and the main decorative frame 10.

[0034] The vehicle lamp provided by the embodiment of the utility model is designed to have a structure of two annular regions of the main body 210 and the connecting portion 220, and at the same time, a mounting rib 120 with a protruding structure is provided on the main decorative frame 10 to realize the assembly connection between the decorative ring 20 and the main decorative frame 10. The main body 210 and the connecting portion 220 are designed to have a V-shaped cross-sectional structure along the radial direction, so that the mounting rib 120 can be inserted into the area between the main body 210 and the connecting portion 220. At the same time, the connecting portion 220 is made of a deformable material so that it can expand when subjected to axial force, so that the inner diameter of the connecting portion 220 is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting rib 120. By pressing and expanding The rib 120 is inserted into the headlight in a stretching manner, and the connection stability is maintained by its contraction effect after the installation rib 120 is inserted. Correspondingly, a connecting boss 2210 and a docking groove 1210 are respectively arranged on the hidden docking surface, so that a stable connection between the decorative ring 20 and the main decorative frame 10 can be achieved. The above structure does not require additional clips and bolts to achieve a fixed connection. At the same time, the assembly process only requires the installer to align the connecting boss 2210 and the docking groove 1210 and then press them together. No other tools are needed. The assembly operation is simple, and the user cannot observe the connection structure from the outside of the headlight. The appearance of the headlight is a complete surface, thereby improving the aesthetics of the headlight and the user's car experience.

[0035] In order to further optimize the above technical solution, a limiting groove 1220 is further provided on the mounting rib 120, and a limiting rib 230 is correspondingly provided on the side of the decorative ring 20 that is opposite to the mounting rib 120, so as to be engaged with the limiting groove 1220, and at the same time, the limiting rib 230 and the connecting boss 2210 are arranged in a fixed position relationship, so that when the limiting rib 230 is inserted into the limiting groove 1220, the connecting boss 2210 is aligned with the docking groove 1210 in the axial direction. It should be noted here that since the connecting boss 2210 and the docking groove 1210 are back to back during the installation process, it is difficult to align them directly, and the limiting rib 230 and the limiting groove 1220 are located at two positions that can be directly observed. On the relative structural surfaces, it can simply perform an alignment action. At the same time, the alignment of the connecting boss 2210 and the docking groove 1210 in the axial direction specifically refers to the plane where the connecting boss 2210 and the docking groove 1210 are located on the same diameter of the decorative ring 20. After the limiting rib 230 and the limiting groove 1220 are plugged in, it is only necessary to apply pressing force to the decorative ring 20 in the axial direction to expand the connecting portion 220 and sleeve it on the outer periphery of the mounting rib 120 so that the connecting boss 2210 and the docking groove 1210 are clamped. The above embodiment solves the problem of high difficulty for operators to align the connecting boss 2210 and the docking groove 1210, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the decorative ring 20.

[0036] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to ensure the docking accuracy between the limiting rib 230 and the limiting groove 1220, the decorative ring 20 is prevented from misassembly by the limiting rib 230. Two limiting ribs 230 are provided, and the corresponding number of limiting grooves 1220 is also the same as the limiting rib 230. At the same time, the connecting line of the two limiting ribs 230 is separated from the center of the decorative ring 20, that is, the connecting line of the two limiting ribs 230 is offset from the center of the decorative ring 20, so that the limiting rib 230 and the limiting groove 1220 can be assembled in only a single posture, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the problem of misassembly after the decorative ring 20 is rotated.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to enable the limiting rib 230 to be smoothly inserted into the limiting groove 1220 so as to align the connecting boss 2210 with the docking groove 1210, both sides of the opening end of a single limiting groove 1220 are provided with guide sections 1230 with a bevel configuration, and the maximum opening area of ​​the two guide sections 1230 is significantly larger than the groove body length of the docking groove 1210. The limiting rib 230 can be inserted into the guide section 1230 within a larger error range, and can slide smoothly to the bottom of the limiting groove 1220 through the bevel action of the guide section 1230 to achieve accurate engagement with the limiting groove 1220. It should be noted that the guide section 1230 with a bevel structure can also reduce the rigid docking effect during the assembly process of the decorative ring 20, and the limiting rib 230 is easy to dock with the guide section 1230 to avoid damage.

[0038] In some embodiments of the utility model, the limiting rib 230 and the limiting groove 1220 have a clearance fit. Specifically, when the limiting rib 230 is inserted into the limiting groove 1220, the limiting rib 230 and the single-side inner wall of the limiting groove 1220 have a clearance of no more than 0.1 mm. This clearance not only enables the limiting rib 230 to have a certain adjustment space in the limiting groove 1220, but also enables the operator to slightly rotate the decorative ring 20 to align the connecting boss 2210 with the docking groove 1210. At the same time, the smaller gap can also ensure the stable clamping effect of the limiting rib 230 and the limiting groove 1220 without affecting the connection strength.

[0039] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting rib 120 is a complete circular structure, and the limiting groove 1220 is arranged in a partial area of ​​the circular mounting rib 120 to meet the docking of the limiting rib 230. At the same time, a docking groove 1210 is arranged on the annular outer wall of the mounting rib 120 to dock with the connecting boss 2210. The mounting rib 120 with a complete circular structure can maintain good sealing and improve the setting freedom of the connecting boss 2210 and the limiting rib 230 on the decorative ring 20; and in other embodiments of the present invention, the mounting rib 120 is a single-segment or multi-segment arc-shaped area, which only needs to meet the requirements of at least covering the setting area of ​​the connecting boss 2210 and the limiting rib 230 on the decorative ring 20, so as to meet the docking and assembly of the limiting structure and the connecting structure on the decorative ring 20. The mounting rib 120 with a single-segment or multi-segment arc-shaped area can reduce production costs and facilitate demolding.

[0040] In addition, in order to reduce the risk of injection shrinkage marks on the decorative ring 20, in some embodiments of the present invention, the width of a single limiting rib 230 in the radial direction of the decorative ring 20 is 1mm-1.5mm, which can meet the requirements of limiting and preventing errors, and at the same time, it is small in size and not easy to produce shrinkage marks. Similarly, considering that the setting of the connecting boss 2210 also has the risk of causing shrinkage marks on the decorative ring 20, the connecting boss 2210 is designed to be an oblong with a relatively stable structure, and its width direction is set along the annular width of the connecting part 220 to reduce the structural damage effect on the connecting part 220 and maintain the clamping effect through a longer length. At the same time, it is preferred that the connecting boss 2210 is an oblong raised structure with a length, width and height of 2mm, 1mm and 0.3mm respectively, and six connecting bosses 2210 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the connecting part 220 to improve the force uniformity of the decorative ring 20 after clamping and improve the connection effect.

[0041] Furthermore, in the vehicle lamp provided in the embodiment of the utility model, the decorative ring 20 is made of polycarbonate, which has high strength and toughness, and can produce a certain deformation when subjected to force to meet the assembly requirements. At the same time, polycarbonate is an excellent E (120°C) grade insulating material and is suitable for electronic and electrical products.
