[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] As Figure 1-Figure 6As shown in the figure, a temperature-controlled anti-fog headlight includes a housing 100. Inside one end of the open housing 100, there is an ITO-coated glass 200. Inside the housing 100, there is a lamp shade assembly 300. At the center of the lamp shade assembly 300, a lamp base assembly 400 is embedded. The lamp shade assembly 300 and the lamp base assembly 400 divide the interior of the housing 100 into a front cavity and a rear cavity. A PCB board 500 is fixedly installed on the back of the lamp base assembly 400. Air flow channels are provided on the lamp shade assembly 300 and the lamp base assembly 400. The front cavity and the rear cavity are connected through the air flow channels, so that the front cavity and the rear cavity circulate through two air flow channels.

[0026] A drying assembly 600 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the circumferential surface of the lamp shade assembly 300. A temperature sensor 700 is provided on the front side of the lamp base assembly 400. The temperature sensor 700 and the PCB board 500 are electrically connected to a controller inside the vehicle. The temperature inside the front cavity is monitored through the temperature sensor 700. The ambient temperature can be obtained through vehicle networking, or another temperature sensor can be set inside the vehicle to monitor the ambient temperature. Thus, by comparing the temperature inside the front cavity with the ambient temperature, the obtained temperature difference is compared with the preset temperature difference range of the controller, and then the controller controls the ITO-coated glass 200 to release heat.

[0027] When in use, the housing 100 includes a tubular shell 101. An annular flange 102 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the front end of the tubular shell 101. The rear end of the tubular shell 101 is detachably installed with a rear cover shell 103. The tubular shell 101 and the rear cover shell 103 can be connected by means of threaded connection, snap connection, screw fixation, etc. A boss 104 is fixedly installed on the rear end of the rear cover shell 103. A cover plate 105 is installed on the rear side of the boss 104 through bolts. A plurality of wire passing holes 106 are penetrated through the assembly of the boss 104 and the cover plate 105. The ITO-coated glass 200 is attached to the rear side of the annular flange 102. A first conductive wire 201 is provided on the rear side of the ITO-coated glass 200. The first conductive wire 201 passes through the wire passing hole 106. The wire passing hole 106 is in an L shape, and an arc chamfer is provided at the corner. A rubber cushion layer can be provided on the inner wall of the wire passing hole 106. Thus, while the first conductive wire 201 passes through the wire passing hole 106 and exits from the inside of the housing 100, the first conductive wire 201 seals the wire passing hole 106, thereby ensuring the sealed state of the housing 100. And the rubber cushion layer in the wire passing hole 106 further ensures the sealing effect of the housing 100.

[0028] Specifically, the lamp cover assembly 300 includes a conical cover 301. The conical cover 301 is attached to the rear side of the ITO-coated glass 200. A covering ring 302 is integrally formed at the rear end of the conical cover 301. Through grooves 303 are respectively formed through the left and right sides of the covering ring 302. A sleeve 304 is provided at the front edge of the conical cover 301. A second conductive wire 501 is arranged on the PCB board 500. Both the second conductive wire 501 and the first conductive wire 201 pass through the sleeve 304. The first conductive wire 201 is avoided through the sleeve 304. In addition, adhesive can be coated between the ITO-coated glass 200 and the annular flange 102, and between the conical cover 301 and the ITO-coated glass 200 to strengthen the fixing effect between the ITO-coated glass 200 and the annular flange 102 and the conical cover 301, and seal the gaps between the ITO-coated glass 200 and the annular flange 102, and between the conical cover 301 and the ITO-coated glass 200 with the adhesive.

[0029] The lamp base assembly 400 includes a lamp base body 401 embedded inside the covering ring 302, and the rear end of the covering ring 302 is sealed by the lamp base body 401. A plurality of lamp beads 402 are arranged on the front side of the lamp base body 401, and the lamp beads 402 are electrically connected to the PCB board 500. Arc-shaped grooves 403 are respectively formed on the left and right sides of the lamp base body 401. The arc-shaped grooves 403 communicate with the through grooves 303, and an air flow channel is formed through the arc-shaped grooves 403 and the through grooves 303.

[0030] In reality, the drying assembly 600 includes an annular cover 601 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the covering ring 302. Lugs two 602 are arranged in an array on the circumferential surface of the annular cover 601. Lugs one 107 are arranged in an array on the inner wall of the housing 100. The lugs two 602 and the lugs one 107 correspond one by one, and the lugs two 602 and the lugs one 107 are fixed by bolts. Thus, the annular cover 601, the lamp base assembly 400 and the lamp cover assembly 300 are fixed on the inner wall of the housing 100.

[0031] Two arc-shaped cavities 603 are formed outside the covering ring 302 by the annular cover 601, and the two arc-shaped cavities 603 are distributed left and right. The two arc-shaped cavities 603 communicate with the two through grooves 303 respectively. A drying groove 604 is arranged between the tops of the two arc-shaped cavities 603. The top of the left arc-shaped cavity 603 is communicated with the drying groove 604 through a diversion hole 608. A desiccant 609 is filled in the drying groove 604, and the component of the desiccant 609 is calcium chloride. A sealing cover 610 is fixed to the rear side of the annular cover 601 by bolts. The sealing cover 610 is used to seal the opening of the drying groove 604. An exhaust hole 611 is formed through the right half surface of the sealing cover 610. Thus, the desiccant 609 can be replaced by removing the sealing cover 610.

[0032] At the bottom of the arc-shaped cavity 603 on the right side, an air duct 605 is fixedly connected and communicated. At the other end of the air duct 605, a micro air pump 606 is fixedly installed. A third conducting wire 607 is connected to the micro air pump 606. The third conducting wire 607 passes through the wire threading hole 106. The micro air pump 606 is electrically connected to the controller. When the temperature difference between the temperature inside the current cavity and the ambient temperature reaches the temperature difference range preset by the controller, the controller controls the ITO coated glass 200 to generate heat and at the same time controls the micro air pump 606 to start, sucking the air in the rear cavity and conveying it into the arc-shaped cavity 603 on the right side. The air inside the arc-shaped cavity 603 then enters the front cavity through the air flow channel on the right side. The air in the front cavity then passes through the air flow channel on the left side and enters the arc-shaped cavity 603 on the left side. After that, the air passes through the diversion holes 608 and enters the inside of the drying tank 604. After being dried by the desiccant 609, the air then passes through the exhaust holes 611 and enters the rear cavity.

[0033] Thus, the air circulates between the front cavity and the rear cavity, and during this process, the air is dried to remove the water vapor in the front cavity. A pressure sensor 800 is also provided inside the front cavity. The pressure sensor 800 is electrically connected to the controller. The pressure inside the front cavity is monitored through the pressure sensor 800. The pressure value inside the front cavity is preset by the controller. When the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor 800 is lower than the preset pressure value, the controller starts the micro air pump 606 to convey air into the front cavity, so that the front cavity maintains a slightly positive pressure state.
