[0033] The utility model discloses a mounting bracket for an outer lens to reduce the difficulty of processing the outer lens. In addition, the utility model also discloses a vehicle lamp assembly having the mounting bracket for the outer lens and a vehicle having the vehicle lamp assembly.
[0034] 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.
[0035] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.
[0036] At present, the high and low beam modules of vehicles all include an outer lens, a core optical component, which uses the outer lens as the light-emitting surface of the high and low beam modules to ensure the lighting of the high and low beam modules.
[0037] The outer lens is usually positioned and fixed by a lens holder, and the outer lens and the lens holder are usually directly connected. Therefore, it is necessary to set a connection point for the outer lens. The setting of the connection point increases the processing requirements for the outer lens.
[0038] Based on this, the present application discloses a connecting bracket for an outer lens, which can clamp the outer lens on the connecting bracket and fix the connecting bracket to achieve the installation of the outer lens. There is no need to set a connecting point on the outer lens, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the outer lens.
[0039] like Figure 1 as well as Figures 3 to 5 The connecting bracket of the outer lens shown comprises: a main body 1 and a pressing part 2. The pressing part 2 comprises a base 21, a cover plate 22 and a connecting member 23.
[0040] The main body 1 is a main load-bearing component connected to the bracket, and its shape includes but is not limited to an annular structure to adapt to the shape of the pressing part 2. The base 21 is fixedly connected to the main body 1. Exemplarily, the base 21 and the main body 1 are integrally formed to reduce the number of parts and improve assembly efficiency. The base 21 is an arc-shaped structure, and its contour can fit the outer lens. The cover plate 22 is rotatably connected to the base 21 through a connecting member 23, and during the rotation of the cover plate 22 relative to the base 21, the base 21 and the cover plate 22 can form a wrapping space, which is used to wrap the outer lens. After the cover plate 22 is rotated to snap into place with the base 21, the outer lens can be clamped between the cover plate 22 and the base 21.
[0041] The connection bracket disclosed in the present application can be connected by rotation of the base 21 and the cover plate 22, so that when the cover plate 22 and the base 21 are buckled and locked, the outer lens can be clamped between the base 21 and the cover plate 22, and the main body 1 is connected with other components to achieve the fixation of the connection bracket, thereby achieving the fixation of the outer lens. By clamping the outer lens, the outer lens is fixed, and there is no need to set a connection point on the outer lens, thereby reducing the difficulty of processing the outer lens.
[0042] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the base 21 has a first connection end 211 and a first rotation end 212, and the cover plate 22 has a second connection end 221 and a second rotation end 222. The first connection end 211 and the first rotation end 212 are distributed at two opposite ends of the base 21, and the second connection end 221 and the second rotation end 222 are distributed at two opposite ends of the cover plate 22. Exemplarily, the first connection end 211 and the first rotation end 212 are distributed at two ends in the length direction of the base 21, and the second connection end 221 and the second rotation end 222 are distributed at two ends in the length direction of the cover plate 22.
[0043] In some embodiments, the first connection end 211 and the second connection end 221 both have threaded holes, and a threaded member can be used to achieve fixed connection between the first connection end 211 and the second connection end 221. The first rotating end 212 and the second rotating end 222 are rotatably connected via a connecting member 23.
[0044] Figure 2 The connecting member 23 is an elastic sheet, one end of the connecting member 23 is fixedly connected to the first rotating end 212, and the other end of the connecting member 23 is fixedly connected to the second rotating end 222, thereby realizing the connection between the base 21 and the cover plate 22. Figure 6 As shown, the cover plate 22 is in a buckled state relative to the base 21 ( Figure 4 is in the buckled state) to the cover plate 22 in the unfolded state ( Figure 1 During the rotation of the cover plate 22 (in the unfolded state), the connecting member 23 is bent; after the cover plate 22 is rotated relative to the base 21 until the cover plate 22 is buckled, the connecting member 23 is in an initial unbent state.
[0045] Figure 2 The first rotating end 212 is sawtooth-shaped, and the second rotating end 222 is also sawtooth-shaped. The protrusions of the sawtooth of the first rotating end 212 are opposite to the protrusions of the sawtooth of the second rotating end 222. When the cover plate 22 is buckled relative to the base 21, the protrusions of the sawtooth of the first rotating end 212 and the protrusions of the sawtooth of the second rotating end 222 are vertically opposed. The connecting member 23 is located between the protrusions of the sawtooth of the first rotating end 212. It can be understood that the connecting member 23 is set at the recessed position of the sawtooth of the first rotating end 212 and the recessed position of the sawtooth of the second rotating end 222.
[0046] The connector 23 in the present application adopts an elastic sheet to increase the adaptability of the angle between the cover plate 22 and the base 21, and can ensure the flexibility of the connection between the cover plate 22 and the base 21, so as to facilitate wrapping and clamping with the outer lens.
[0047] In some embodiments, the connecting member 23 may also be connected by a hinge or a rotating shaft, as long as the base 21 and the cover plate 22 can be rotatably connected. In order to improve the stability of the clamping part 2 clamping the outer lens, the base 21 and the cover plate 22 are buckled to form a space that can fit the contour of the outer lens.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the base 21 has a first slot 213 , and the cover 22 has a second slot 223 .
[0049] The first card slot 213 is located at one end of the base 21 away from the main body 1, and extends along the bending direction of the base 21. For example, the base 21 is a U-shaped plate, and the first card slot 213 extends along the U-shaped direction; the second card slot 223 is located at one end of the cover plate 22 away from the main body 1, and extends along the bending direction of the cover plate 22. For example, the cover plate 22 is a U-shaped plate, and the second card slot 223 extends along the U-shaped direction.
[0050] After the cover plate 22 is buckled relative to the base 21, the first clamping groove 213 and the second clamping groove 223 can form a complete annular clamping groove, and the circumferential edge of the outer lens 4 is clamped into the clamping groove. It can be understood that in the process of fixing the outer lens 4, the bottom of the outer lens 4 can be clamped into the first clamping groove 213 of the base 21, the cover plate 22 is rotated to rotate the cover plate 22 toward the base 21, and the upper part of the outer lens 4 is clamped into the second clamping groove 223 of the cover plate 22. After the cover plate 22 is fixedly connected to the base 21, the outer lens 4 is clamped on the pressing part 2 of the connecting bracket.
[0051] like Figure 7 and Fig. 9As shown, the main body 1 is connected to the radiator 3, and the connection methods of the main body 1 and the radiator 3 include but are not limited to bonding or threaded connection. Those skilled in the art can connect that the main body 1 can also be connected to other structures. During the assembly of the vehicle lamp, the light source and other structures can be arranged in the annular space of the main body 1 and close to one side of the radiator 3, and the radiator 3 is used to dissipate the heat generated by the light source.
[0052] In some embodiments, the entire connecting bracket can be integrally formed by injection molding in one mold, thereby reducing the number of parts and the manufacturing cost of the product, and the installation of the outer lens is also more convenient.
[0053] In addition, the present application also discloses a vehicle lamp assembly, including an outer lens and a connecting bracket, wherein the connecting bracket is the connecting bracket disclosed in the above embodiment. Therefore, the vehicle lamp assembly with the connecting bracket also has all the above technical effects, which will not be repeated here.
[0054] In addition, the present application also discloses a vehicle, including a headlight assembly, wherein the headlight assembly is the headlight assembly disclosed in the above embodiment. Therefore, the vehicle having the headlight assembly also has all the above technical effects, which will not be repeated here.
[0055] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
[0056] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
