Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a light-emitting unit of an automotive lamp that reduces the lateral space size of components and increases the utilization rate of the space inside the lamp.

Detailed Embodiment

[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present utility model, the following will further introduce the present utility model in detail in conjunction with the drawings.

[0021] It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "above", "one end", "upper", etc. used in this text is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Similar expressions are only for the purpose of illustration and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "one part", "two parts", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, an automotive lamp light-emitting unit includes a light guide light source 1, an inner light distribution mirror 2, a first LED light source 4, a first thick-wall inner light distribution mirror 5, a second LED light source 6, a second thick-wall inner light distribution mirror 7, a third LED light source 8, and a reflector 9 that are respectively fixed in the lamp cavity.

[0023] It further includes an outer light distribution mirror 3 that encloses the lamp cavity, and the outer light distribution mirror 3 is located on the front side of the vehicle lamp in the transverse direction. The light guide light source 1, the inner light distribution mirror 2, the first LED light source 4, the first thick-wall inner light distribution mirror 5, the second LED light source 6, the second thick-wall inner light distribution mirror 7, the third LED light source 8, and the reflector 9 are all located behind the outer light distribution mirror 3.

[0024] The light guide light source 1 and the inner light distribution mirror 2 are respectively located at one end of the vehicle lamp in the longitudinal direction, and the first LED light source 4, the second LED light source 6, and the third LED light source 8 are respectively located at the other end of the vehicle lamp in the longitudinal direction. Along the direction from the rear to the front in the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp, the first LED light source 4, the second LED light source 6, and the third LED light source 8 are arranged in sequence; the first thick-wall inner light distribution mirror 5 and the second thick-wall inner light distribution mirror 7 are respectively located in the middle of the vehicle lamp in the longitudinal direction, that is, along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle lamp, the first thick-wall inner light distribution mirror 5 is located between the inner light distribution mirror 2 and the first LED light source 4, and the second thick-wall inner light distribution mirror 7 is located between the inner light distribution mirror 2 and the second LED light source 6.

[0025] Along the direction from the rear to the front in the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp, the light guide light source 1, the inner light distribution mirror 2, and the outer light distribution mirror 3 are arranged in sequence. The light emitted by the light guide light source 1 sequentially passes through the inner light distribution mirror 2 and the outer light distribution mirror 3 along the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp, and then shoots out of the lamp. The inner light distribution mirror 2 and the outer light distribution mirror 3 play a role in making the light uniform.

[0026] Preferably, a U-shaped sub-lamp cavity that surrounds the light guide light source 1 is provided in the lamp cavity, and the inner light distribution mirror 2 is installed in the sub-lamp cavity. The light of the light guide light source 1 shoots out from the opening of the sub-lamp cavity. The overall path of the light of the light guide light source 1 is along the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp.

[0027] Along the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp, the first thick-wall inner light distribution mirror 5 is at the rear and the second thick-wall inner light distribution mirror is at the front.

[0028] The first LED light source 4 is emitted in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle lamp, in the direction close to the light guide light source, towards the first thick-walled internal light distribution mirror 5. After being reflected by the first thick-walled internal light distribution mirror 5, it passes through the external light distribution mirror 3 in the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp, and thus irradiates outside the lamp. The first thick-walled internal light distribution mirror 5 can be a light guide plate. A reflection structure is provided on the light guide plate, and the reflection structure is used to change the light path of the first LED light source 4, so that it enters the light guide plate from the bottom surface of the first thick-walled internal light distribution mirror 5 and then exits in the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp.

[0029] The second LED light source 6 is emitted in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle lamp, in the direction close to the light guide light source, towards the second thick-walled internal light distribution mirror 7. After being reflected by the second thick-walled internal light distribution mirror 7, it passes through the external light distribution mirror 3 in the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp and irradiates outside the lamp. The second thick-walled internal light distribution mirror 7 can be a light guide plate.

[0030] The light emission direction of the third LED light source 8 is opposite to that of the first thick-walled internal light distribution mirror 5 and the second thick-walled internal light distribution mirror. The third LED light source 8 is emitted in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle lamp and in the direction away from the light guide light source 1 towards the reflector 9, and then passes through the external light distribution mirror 3 in the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp after being reflected by the reflector 9.

[0031] The functions of the first thick-walled internal light distribution mirror 5, the second thick-walled internal light distribution mirror and the reflector are all to change the light path, so that the light changes from the longitudinal direction of the vehicle lamp to the transverse direction of the vehicle lamp.

[0032] For different vehicle models, the design functions of the lamps are also different. The functions of the first LED light source 4, the second LED light source 6, the third LED light source 8 and the light guide light source can be exemplary as follows: Preferably, the light guide light source 1 is a position lamp, the first LED light source 4 is a position lamp, the second LED light source 6 is a turn signal lamp, and the third LED light source 8 is a brake lamp.

[0033] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described above by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
