Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an integrated rear lighting system, belonging to the technical field of vehicle lights. Background Art
[0002] At present, commonly used vehicle taillights generally do not have a sensing function and can only provide a lighting function. Generally, vehicles are usually equipped with four corner radars and one front radar, which also have strong sensing capabilities in rainy and foggy weather conditions. As an independent sensing module, millimeter-wave radar usually requires a shell. If multiple millimeter-wave radars are equipped, it will take up a lot of extra space in the car and require additional interfaces. Generally, vehicles cannot monitor the working environment of the taillights in real time, and cannot alarm to inform customers when the temperature and humidity of the taillights are abnormal, resulting in the inability to carry out maintenance and replacement in advance, which affects driving safety and causes accidents.

[0031] In order to make the content of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described in detail below based on specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated rear light system, which includes a vehicle body air conditioning system 1 and a rear light assembly 3.

[0034] Among them, Figure 4As shown, the control circuit includes a power management module, a first communication module, an LDO module, a second communication module, an MCU module, an LED driving circuit and a power supply module.
[0035] The output end of the temperature and humidity sensor 6 is connected to the MCU module.

When the temperature and humidity in the rear lamp housing exceed the warning value, the vehicle body air conditioning system 1 adjusts the temperature and humidity in the rear lamp housing. Figure 6 As shown, the temperature and humidity sensor 6 uses a temperature and humidity sensor chip U2, model PHDC3020DEFTQ1.
[0036] The millimeter wave radar module 5 is connected to the vehicle body communication system through the first communication module, the MCU module is connected to the vehicle body communication system through the second communication module, the millimeter wave radar module 5 is connected to the MCU module, and the millimeter wave radar module 5 is used to detect the distance between the rear vehicle and the vehicle.
[0037] The input end of the LED driving circuit is connected to the MCU module, and the output end of the LED driving circuit is connected to the LED lamp group 4.
[0038] The millimeter wave radar module 5 and the temperature and humidity sensor 6 are integrated in the rear lamp. The temperature and humidity sensor 6 can monitor the temperature and humidity in the vehicle rear lamp in real time and transmit the temperature and humidity data to the MCU module. If the temperature in the rear lamp is too high or too low, or the humidity exceeds the warning value, the MCU module will transmit an alarm message to the vehicle body communication system in the form of CAN communication, and then the vehicle body communication system will send a message to the vehicle body air conditioning system 1. The vehicle body air conditioning system 1 will turn on the heating, cooling, and dehumidification functions, and heat up, cool down, and dehumidify the rear lamp through the air conditioning duct, so that the temperature and humidity in the rear lamp are in a normal state.
[0039] The integrated millimeter-wave radar module 5 has a sensing function and can sense objects behind. During normal driving, when a vehicle approaches from the side and rear, the millimeter-wave radar will sense it and send a signal to the body communication system through CAN communication.

One output of the diode LD7 powers the temperature and humidity sensor 6 and the LED drive circuit, and the other output is connected to the power conversion chip U20.
