Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle electronic control, in particular to a charging indicator light capable of multi-angle projection and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] New energy vehicles have gradually become popular. In order to help car owners understand the charging status of electric vehicles, car manufacturers usually design "new energy charging indicator lights" on electric vehicles.

[0003] At present, there are two types of new energy charging indicator lights on the market: one is the indicator light on the dashboard, which is color-based or digital-based; the color-based new energy charging indicator lights are usually divided into three colors: red, green, and yellow; red is used to indicate the charging status as "charging", green is used to indicate the charging status as "charging completed", indicating that the electric vehicle is fully charged and can be driven normally, and yellow is used to indicate the charging status as "fault", indicating that there is a problem with the charging of the electric vehicle and maintenance or inspection is required; the digital new energy charging indicator light uses numbers to indicate the charging percentage of the electric vehicle; when the electric vehicle is receiving electricity and is charging, the indicator light will display the charging percentage, and when the charging progress reaches 100%, the indicator light will show The first is to display "fully charged", and the instrument indicator light will switch to green, indicating that the electric vehicle is fully charged; the second is to equip the charging plug of the electric vehicle with an LED light. When the charging status changes, the LED light will also emit different colors to indicate; through the application experience of new energy vehicles, I personally feel that the charging indicator light is a very important design element. It can help car owners understand the charging status of electric vehicles and facilitate car owners to better manage charging time and charging cycles during the use of electric vehicles; currently these two design schemes for expressing charging power have not covered more scenarios, because when the electric vehicle is charging, the user is more likely to be outside the car, far away from the car, and the power indicator on the instrument or the indicator light on the charging gun can no longer notify the user. Utility Model Content
