[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0017] See also Figure 1-8The technical solution provided by the utility model is: a spring piece structure for adjusting the change in the length of the optical fiber component in the axial direction after the twisting, comprising an optical fiber component 1 and a plurality of spring pieces 2, the optical fiber component 1 is circular in side, the optical fiber component 1 comprises a plurality of optical fibers 11 and a plurality of crystal connectors 12, both ends of each optical fiber 11 are connected to the crystal connector 12, and a plurality of optical fibers 11 connected to the crystal connector 12 at both ends form a circle, a spring piece 2 is fixed between one end of the optical fiber 11 and the crystal connector 12, each spring piece 2 faces the inside of the optical fiber component 1 and forms a circle inside the optical fiber component 1, the optical fiber 11 is fixed to the outer end of the spring piece 2, and an elastic contact is arranged on the inner side of the spring piece 2 The optical fiber 11 is provided with a plurality of elastic contact pieces 21, and the ends of the elastic contact pieces 21 are connected. Before the optical fiber 11 is twisted, the axial length of the optical fiber 11 is d1, and d1 is 306.9 mm. After the optical fiber 11 is twisted, the axial length of the optical fiber 11 shrinks and shortens, and the axial length of the optical fiber 11 is d2, and d2 is 302.9 mm. At this time, the elastic contact piece 21 cooperates with the crystal connector 12 at the end of the optical fiber 11. The optical fiber 11 is tightened toward the side end through the deformation of the elastic contact piece 21 without being loose, thereby adjusting the length change of the optical fiber component 1 in the axial direction during the twisting process, so that the lighting effect of the car lamp is good.

[0018] Specifically, the distance between the top of the elastic contact piece 21 and the radial side of the optical fiber component 1 is a, and a is between 1-10 mm. Before the optical fiber 11 is twisted, the distance a between the top of the elastic contact piece 21 and the radial side of the optical fiber component 1 is 10 mm; during the twisting process of the optical fiber 11, the distance between the top of the elastic contact piece 21 and the radial side of the optical fiber component 1 gradually decreases, and the elastic contact piece 21 deforms in the radial direction of the side of the optical fiber component 1 through elastic deformation; after the optical fiber 11 is twisted, the distance a between the elastic contact piece 21 and the radial side of the optical fiber component 1 is ≥1 mm.

[0019] Specifically, the side surface of the elastic contact piece 21 after the ends are connected is rounded, and when the optical fiber 11 is twisted, the elastic contact piece 21 is elastically deformed as a whole synchronously, ensuring that the length of the axial direction of all optical fiber components 1 is adjusted synchronously as a whole during the twisting process.

[0020] The movement process of the utility model is as follows: when the optical fiber 11 is twisted, the optical fiber assembly 1 gradually shrinks in the axial length and becomes shorter. During this process, the elastic contact piece 21 on the spring piece 2 deforms in the radial direction of the side of the optical fiber assembly 1 through elastic deformation, and the distance between the top of the elastic contact piece 21 and the radial direction of the side of the optical fiber assembly 1 gradually decreases. The deformation of the elastic contact piece 21 tightens the optical fiber 11 toward the side end and does not make it loose. When the optical fiber 11 is twisted, the distance a between the elastic contact piece 21 and the radial direction of the side of the optical fiber assembly 1 is ≥1mm.

[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
