[0002] As passengers' requirements for the visual experience when riding in a car continue to increase, ambient lights are used more and more widely in the interior space of the vehicle. In order to meet the styling requirements of ambient lights, the usual measure is to change the shape of the light-transmitting area of ​​the ambient light cover. The cover includes light-transmitting parts that can transmit light and shielding parts that cannot transmit light. The shielding parts are spliced ​​with the edges of the light-transmitting parts to form a completed cover. However, the cover formed by splicing has low strength and is prone to deformation.

[0003] At present, in order to avoid deformation of the spliced ​​cover plates, the existing cover plates are usually injection molded multiple times using multiple plastic materials with different light transmittances. Although this improves the integrity of the cover plates, this type of cover plate is easily scratched on the surface due to its soft material. At the same time, since the surface of the plastic cover plate is smooth, the scratches are more conspicuous, so the cover plates often need to be replaced, which leads to poor durability of the cover plates.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0037] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 , describing an embodiment of the present application.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, a cover structure is provided, which is used to be connected and assembled with the vehicle's ambient light 4, including: a light-transmitting layer 1, a light-shielding layer 2 and an exterior layer 3, one side of the light-transmitting layer 1 is suitable for being connected and assembled with the ambient light 4, the light-shielding layer 2 is arranged on the side of the light-transmitting layer 1 away from the ambient light 4, the light-shielding layer 2 has a light-shielding portion 201 covering the light-transmitting layer 1 and a hollow portion 202 exposing the light-transmitting layer 1, the hollow portion 202 together with the light-transmitting layer at the corresponding position forms a light leakage area; the exterior layer 3 covers the wall surface arranged on the side of the light-shielding portion 201 away from the light-transmitting layer 1 to avoid scratching the light-shielding layer 2.

[0039] The cover structure of this embodiment is applied, and an exterior decorative layer 3 is arranged on the surface of the light-shielding layer 2 away from the light-transmitting layer 1. The stacked light-shielding layer 2 and the light-transmitting layer 1 together form the main body of the cover structure, which ensures that the cover structure has good integrity while improving the protection capability of the surface of the cover structure. It can effectively improve the surface scratch resistance of the cover structure, prevent foreign objects from directly contacting the light-shielding layer 2, and effectively solve the problem of poor durability of existing cover plates.

[0040] It should be noted that light transmission means that at least a portion of light can penetrate; light blocking means that light cannot penetrate.

[0041] In the related art, a light-shielding coating is provided on the surface of the light-transmitting material, and then a light-transmitting pattern is formed by laser engraving the light-shielding coating to thereby form the desired cover plate. Although this type of cover plate has better integrity, the surface is still easily scratched. At the same time, the time required for laser engraving of a single cover plate is relatively long, and mass production is relatively time-consuming.

[0042] Compared with the disassembly solution, the cover plate structure of this embodiment has a simpler structure, does not require the assembly process of multiple parts, has good overall shape, and is highly aesthetic. Compared with the laser engraving solution, the cover plate structure of this embodiment has a short production cycle and a simpler process, which can meet mass production needs.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the light-transmitting layer 1 and the light-shielding layer 2 are both made of plastic. It should be noted that there is no limitation on the specific types of materials of the light-transmitting layer 1 and the light-shielding layer 2, and they may be PC (Polycarbonate) plastic, PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) plastic, etc., and may be flexibly selected according to demand, as long as a structure that can transmit light and shield light can be formed.

[0044] Preferably, the light-transmitting layer 1 is injection-molded from light-diffusing PC plastic. This type of light-transmitting layer 1 has better light-transmitting ability and higher structural strength.

[0045] The light-shielding layer 2 is made of PC+ABS (Polycarbonate+Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene and a mixture of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) plastic injection molding, which is light-proof and has better heat resistance. In addition, through the principle of like dissolves like, this type of light-shielding layer 2 can be directly fixed to one side of the light-transmitting layer 1 by secondary injection molding and formed into a corresponding shape. It does not need to be manufactured separately and then connected to the light-transmitting layer 1 through an additional connection process. The processing and manufacturing process has fewer steps and is less time-consuming, which can effectively improve the manufacturing cycle.

[0046] Specifically, there is no limitation on the specific type and molding method of the outer decoration layer 3 , as long as it can protect the surface of the light shielding layer 2 .

[0047] Furthermore, since the shading layer 2 is injection molded from PC+ABS plastic, this form of shading layer 2 has a higher surface gloss. Therefore, by changing the material properties of the exterior layer 3, the surface properties of the shading layer 2 can also meet preset requirements, such as having specific textures, colors, and surface roughness.

[0048] In addition, there is no limitation on the connection method between the exterior decoration layer 3 and the light shielding layer 2. The exterior decoration layer 3 can be covered by brushing, spraying, etc., or fixed to the exterior decoration layer 3 by pasting, etc.

[0049] Preferably, in order to prevent the high-gloss surface of the light-shielding layer 2 from reflecting external light, the exterior finishing layer 3 is matte varnish, which achieves a matte effect while improving the appearance of the surface of the light-shielding layer 2 .

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, a protrusion 101 is formed at a position of the light-transmitting layer 1 corresponding to the hollow portion 202 along a direction away from the ambient light 4. The protrusion 101 is suitable for filling the hollow portion 202. The protrusion 101 can effectively fill the holes formed at the hollow portion 202, thereby improving the integrity and preventing dust particles from entering the hollow portion 202.

[0051] Specifically, there is no limitation on the protruding height of the protruding portion 101, which may be lower than the surface of the light-shielding layer 2, flush with the surface of the light-shielding layer 2, or higher than the surface of the light-shielding layer 2, and can be flexibly selected according to the design requirements.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the end face of at least a portion of the protrusion 101 is flush with the wall surface of the shading layer 2 away from the light-transmitting layer 1. The protrusion 101 here and the shading layer 2 together form a smooth surface, which can effectively improve the local surface effect of the shading layer 2.

[0053] It can be understood that the specific position of at least a portion of the protrusion 101 here is not strictly limited and can be flexibly selected.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the hollow portion 202 includes a first hollow area 2021 arranged corresponding to the edge of the light-transmitting layer 1, which not only improves the appearance but also facilitates processing and manufacturing.

[0055] Exemplarily, the first hollow area 2021 can be arranged in a linear manner, or the first hollow area 2021 can be arranged in a plurality of segment intervals, which can be flexibly selected according to the styling requirements.

[0056] In addition, since the edge position of the light-transmitting layer 1 is the farthest position that can form a light-transmitting area, it is only necessary to cover the edge position of the preset light-transmitting area with the light-transmitting layer 1 to meet manufacturing requirements, and the area of ​​the light-transmitting layer 1 can be effectively reduced while meeting the light-transmitting effect.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the first hollow area 2021 is in a "C" shape. This form of the first hollow area 2021 is an integral structure with a smooth shape and is easy to process.

[0058] Among them, Figures 1 to 3As shown, this type of first hollow area 2021 only requires the outline of the light-shielding layer 2 corresponding to the light-transmitting layer 1 to be contracted inward as a whole to form the desired "C"-shaped structure, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the hollow portion 202 also includes at least one second hollow area 2022 arranged corresponding to the middle of the light-transmitting layer 1. The second hollow area 2022 increases the light-transmitting area of ​​the shading layer 2, further improving the light-transmitting shaping flexibility of the cover structure.

[0060] Specifically, there is no limitation on the number of the second hollow areas 2022, which can be as follows: Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 A second hollow area 2022 as shown in FIG. Figure 4 There are multiple second hollow areas 2022 shown in the figure; there is no strict limitation on the specific structure of the second hollow area 2022, which can be numbers, letters, artistic symbols, etc., and can be flexibly selected according to needs.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present application, on the other hand, an instrument panel assembly structure is also provided, which includes: an instrument panel, an ambient light 4 and the above-mentioned cover structure, and the ambient light 4 is connected and assembled with the instrument panel through the cover structure.

[0062] The instrument panel assembly structure of this embodiment is applied, and a cover plate structure with better integrity and scratch resistance is used as the cover plate of the ambient light 4, which can effectively improve the reliability and durability of the local area of ​​the instrument panel assembly structure.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the atmosphere lamp 4 includes a bracket 401 and a light-emitting part 402. The bracket 401 has an installation position for installing the light-emitting part 402. The bracket 401 is detachably connected to the cover structure. The structure is simple and reliable, and is easy to disassemble and manufacture.

[0064] Specifically, the number of light-emitting parts 402 can be selected according to the number of light leakage areas formed by the cover structure. There is no limitation on the specific form of the light-emitting part 402, and it can be a light strip, a light guide plate, etc., as long as it can serve as a light source and form an atmosphere light after being assembled with the cover structure.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the bracket 401 is connected to the cover structure through a fastening component 5. The bracket 401 is provided with a connecting hole 403 for the fastening component 5 to pass through. A mating seat 6 is provided on one side of the cover structure. The mating seat 6 is provided with a mating hole 601 that cooperates with the fastening component 5. The connection method is simple and reliable.

[0066] It can be understood that, as an alternative implementation, the bracket 401 can also be connected to the cover plate structure by means of snap-on, adhesive connection or other connection methods, as long as the connection reliability requirements can be met.

[0067] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the fastening component 5 is a screw.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present application, in yet another aspect, a vehicle is provided, which includes: the above-mentioned cover plate structure, or the above-mentioned instrument panel assembly structure.

[0069] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the vehicle in this application may refer to a large car, a small car, a special-purpose car, etc. For example, according to the car model, the car in this application may be a sedan car, an off-road car, a multi-purpose vehicle, an MPV car or other car models. Generally, a vehicle is provided with wheels, a power source, and a transmission system provided between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels, so that the wheels rotate, thereby driving the vehicle to travel.
