[0036] The bumper 1 includes at least two headlight areas 11. A plurality of light-emitting holes 12 are formed in the headlight areas 11. The micro-optical units 2 are arranged inside the headlight areas 11. One micro-optical unit 2 is correspondingly installed in each light-emitting hole 12. The control mechanism is electrically connected to all the micro-optical units 2.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, the bumper 1 includes at least two headlight areas 11. A plurality of light-emitting holes 12 are formed in each headlight area 11. The micro-optical units 2 are arranged inside the headlight areas 11. Each light-emitting hole 12 corresponds to one micro-optical unit 2. The micro-optical units 2 emit light through the light-emitting holes 12. The control mechanism is electrically connected to all the micro-optical units 2 and is used to control the micro-optical units 2 to achieve different functions. Each micro-optical unit 2 can be precisely controlled, so as to adjust the brightness and distribution of the light beam according to requirements, provide different lighting modes, such as high beams or low beams, thereby optimizing the vision and safety during night driving, improving the intelligence and functionality of the headlight system, and meeting the requirements of different driving environments.

[0038] Specifically, a plurality of light-emitting holes 12 are arranged on the bumper 1, replacing the structure of traditional vehicle headlights, realizing the hiding of the headlights, making its structure more robust, reducing the risk of damage to the headlights, and at the same time enhancing the overall design sense of the vehicle, showing a modern sense of technology and avant-garde.

[0039] This hidden headlight is not limited to being arranged on the front bumper. It can also be arranged on the rear bumper. When arranged on the front bumper, it can replace the function of the front vehicle headlights. When arranged on the rear bumper, it can replace the traditional vehicle taillights or rear fog lights, and can provide the functions of tail lighting and warning. For example, it can be used as a taillight during night driving or a rear fog light in bad weather conditions. The micro-optical units 2 can adjust the brightness and light beam angle according to needs, so as to ensure the visibility and safety of the vehicle tail.

[0040] The design of the hidden headlights eliminates the obtrusive appearance of traditional headlights, making the vehicle look more streamlined and modern from different angles. It also optimizes the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle, reduces the overall air resistance of the vehicle, thereby improving the driving economy and stability of the vehicle.

[0041] In another embodiment, a micro light guide member 13 is installed in each light-emitting hole 12, and the micro light guide member 13 is blocked in front of the micro optical unit 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, a micro light guide member 13 is installed in each light-emitting hole 12, and the micro light guide member 13 is blocked in front of the micro optical unit 2. It can evenly guide the light emitted by the micro optical unit 2 outside the light-emitting hole 12 of the headlight, making the light of the headlight more uniform and soft, thereby improving the lighting effect. It can also protect the micro optical unit 2, prevent dust, rain, etc. from damaging the micro optical unit 2, extend the service life of the hidden headlight, and reduce the maintenance requirements.

[0043] The micro light guide member 13 is usually made of materials with good waterproof performance, such as high-quality plastics or silica gels. These materials can effectively prevent moisture from entering the interior of the headlight, thereby protecting the micro optical unit 2 from the influence of moisture and humidity, contributing to the stable performance of the headlight, and reducing the maintenance cost of the vehicle owner.

[0044] The design of the micro light guide member 13 is consistent with the design of the light-emitting hole 12, and the shape of the light-emitting hole 12 can be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the headlight. It can be different shapes such as circular, oval or rectangular, etc., aiming to achieve the best combination of light distribution and body aesthetics. The micro light guide member 13 can also be used as a part of the headlight design, increasing the uniqueness and decorative property of the vehicle appearance, making the vehicle more fashionable and modern.

[0045] In one of the preferred embodiments, the micro light guide member 13 is made of electrochromic material, and the control mechanism is electrically connected to all the micro light guide members 13.

[0046] In this preferred embodiment, electrochromic materials are used to fabricate the micro light guide members 13, and a control mechanism is electrically connected to all the micro light guide members 13. The control mechanism can change the color and transparency of the micro light guide members 13 by adjusting the current, and can dynamically adjust the color and transparency of the micro light guide members 13 as needed, so as to achieve different light effects and visual effects. For example, during the day, the color of the micro light guide members 13 can be adjusted to the same color as the bumper 1, so that the light-emitting holes 12 are integrated with the bumper 1, increasing the fashionability and aesthetic degree of the vehicle. The driver can also manually control the color of the micro light guide members 13 through the DA panel, making them display different patterns, increasing the personalization and uniqueness of the vehicle. Animations or dynamic patterns can also be designed to enhance the visual expression of the vehicle lights, so that the vehicle has a dynamic effect when stationary.

[0047] The electrochromic materials can also enable the vehicle lights to automatically adjust the brightness according to the external light, or change the light characteristics in different driving modes, such as the switching between high beams and low beams, enhancing the adaptability of the vehicle lights and improving the driving comfort and the intelligence of the vehicle lights.

[0048] In another embodiment, a light guide baffle is further included;

[0049] A light guide baffle is provided on the outer side of each headlight area 11, and the light guide baffle covers all the light-emitting holes 12 of the headlight area 11.

[0050] In this embodiment, a light guide baffle is provided on the outer side of each headlight area 11, which covers all the light-emitting holes 12 of the headlight area 11. It can effectively protect the micro-optical unit 2 from the influence of the external environment, isolate dust, rainwater, etc., extend the service life of the micro-optical unit 2, reduce the maintenance requirements, and can also prevent potential damage to the micro-optical unit 2 caused by a small amount of physical impact, thereby improving the durability of the hidden vehicle lights.

[0051] The light guide baffle can also evenly distribute the light emitted by the micro-optical unit 2, thereby reducing local light spots, providing a more uniform lighting effect, improving the vision during night driving, and enhancing safety.

[0052] The light guide baffle covers all the light-emitting holes 12 of the headlight area 11, making the appearance of the vehicle lights cleaner and more unified. The design of hiding the light-emitting holes 12 makes the vehicle more integrated and modern. The light guide baffle can be designed in a style coordinated with the body appearance, thereby improving the overall appearance effect, and is more convenient to install, replace or maintain, and is also easier to clean, and can maintain good optical performance and appearance.

[0053] Such as Figure 4As shown, in another embodiment, it further includes a connecting bracket 14. The connecting bracket 14 is arranged inside the bumper 1, and the micro-optical unit 2 is mounted on the connecting bracket 14.

[0054] In this embodiment, a connecting bracket 14 is also arranged inside the bumper 1, and the micro-optical unit 2 is mounted on the connecting bracket 14. The connecting bracket 14 provides a stable mounting platform for the micro-optical unit 2, ensuring that the micro-optical unit 2 maintains a fixed position during vehicle driving, reducing the influence brought by vibration and impact, and maintaining the reliability of the vehicle lamp.

[0055] Through the connecting bracket 14, the micro-optical units 2 can be uniformly mounted inside the bumper 1, simplifying the installation process. When maintenance or replacement of the micro-optical unit 2 is required, the connecting bracket 14 can be removed, and the micro-optical unit 2 that needs to be maintained can be directly replaced, reducing interference with other components.

[0056] As Figure 4 shown, in a preferred embodiment, the connecting bracket 14 includes a plurality of mounting units 141, and each micro-optical unit 2 is mounted on one mounting unit 141;

[0057] The mounting unit 141 includes a mounting end 1411 and a connecting end 1412. The connecting ends 1412 of each mounting unit 141 are connected to form a plane. The mounting end 1411 extends towards the side of the bumper 1, and the micro-optical unit 2 is mounted on the mounting end 1411. The distance between each micro-optical unit 2 and the light-emitting hole 12 is equal.

[0058] In this preferred embodiment, the connecting bracket 14 includes a plurality of mounting units 141, and each mounting unit 141 includes a mounting end 1411 and a connecting end 1412. Each micro-optical unit 2 is mounted on one mounting end 1411, and each connecting end 1412 is connected to form a plane, and the distance between each micro-optical unit 2 and the corresponding light-emitting hole 12 is equal, ensuring that the light emitted by the micro-optical unit 2 just passes through the light-emitting hole 12 for emission, improving the uniformity and effect of illumination.

[0059] The connecting end 1412 of the mounting unit 141 provides uniform support, ensuring that the micro-optical unit 2 is only affected by uniform forces during operation, reducing wear and failures between components. At the same time, the mounting unit 141 provides a clear mounting position and angle, facilitating technicians to quickly install and fix the micro-optical unit 2. Moreover, the connecting end 1412 of the mounting unit 141 can also finely adjust the angle of the micro-optical unit 2, making the adjustment process more convenient and accurate, and improving the overall reliability and stability of the hidden vehicle lamp.

[0060] As Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the micro-optical unit 2 includes a mounting bracket 21, a micro-light source 22, and a lens structure 23;

[0061] The mounting bracket 21 is provided with a mounting space that penetrates through from front to back. The lens structure 23 and the micro-light source 22 are installed in the mounting space, and the lens structure 23 is located in front of the micro-light source 22;

[0062] At least two connecting ears 24 are provided on the outer sidewall of the mounting bracket 21, and the connecting ears 24 are detachably connected to the mounting unit 141.

[0063] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 21 penetrates through from front to back and is internally provided with a mounting space for installing the lens structure 23 and the micro-light source 22, and the lens structure 23 is located in front of the micro-light source 22. The reasonable layout of the front-to-back penetrating mounting space and the lens structure 23 can ensure the precise alignment of the micro-light source 22 and the lens structure 23, improve the accuracy of light emission, effectively control and optimize the emission direction and distribution of light, enhance the focusing effect of the light beam, make the light more concentrated and uniform, and improve the lighting effect.

[0064] At least two connecting ears 24 are provided on the outer sidewall of the mounting bracket 21, and the connecting ears 24 are detachably connected to the mounting unit 141. That is to say, the mounting bracket 21 is detachably mounted on the mounting unit 141 through the connecting ears 24, so that the entire micro-optical unit 2 is detachably mounted on the mounting unit 141. This modular design makes the installation and disassembly of the micro-optical unit 2 more convenient, facilitating maintenance and replacement by the staff.

[0065] As Figure 5 shown, in another preferred embodiment, the micro-light source 22 includes a lamp body 221, a PCB board 222, and a radiator 223, and the lens structure 23 includes an MLA lens 231 and a collimator 232;

[0066] The lamp body 221 is mounted on the PCB board 222, the radiator 223 is mounted behind the PCB board 222, the MLA lens 231 is mounted at the frontmost end of the mounting space, and the collimator 232 is mounted between the MLA lens 231 and the lamp body 221.

[0067] In this preferred embodiment, the micro-light source 22 includes a lamp body 221, a PCB board 222, and a radiator 223. The lamp body 221 is mounted on the PCB board 222, and the lamp body 221 is electrically connected to the PCB board 222. The radiator 223 is mounted behind the PCB board 222 to dissipate heat from the PCB board 222, which can effectively take away the heat generated by the micro-light source 22, prevent overheating, and thus improve the performance stability and service life of the light source.

[0068] The lens structure 23 includes an MLA lens 231 and a collimator 232. The MLA lens 231 is installed at the very front end of the installation space and closes the very front end of the installation space, ensuring that light only passes through between the MLA lenses 231. The collimator 232 is installed between the MLA lens 231 and the lamp body 221 and is used to collimate the light to make the light beam parallel, thereby reducing the scattering and diffusion of light and improving the clarity and focusing effect of the final light beam.

[0069] The compact layout among the MLA lens 231, the collimator 232, the lamp body 221, the PCB board 222, and the radiator 223 realizes a high degree of integration of optical and thermal management, improves the overall coordination of the system, and enables the micro-optical unit 2 to achieve an efficient lighting function within a limited space.

[0070] By using the MLA lens 231, through the design of different masks, the light distribution of low and high beams can be obtained. The complete low and high beam distributions can be obtained by combining multiple micro-optical units 2. The collimation degree of the emitted light is high, the volume of the overall module is greatly reduced, and it can also be highly customized. Based on the small size characteristics of the MLA, the headlights can be truly hidden and integrated with the front face of the vehicle.

[0071] In one embodiment, the bumper 1 further includes a decorative light area. The decorative light area is provided with a number of decorative light-emitting holes. Inside the decorative light area, there are micro grille lights. Each decorative light-emitting hole corresponds to and installs a micro grille light for decorating the vehicle.

[0072] To meet different requirements, the decorative light-emitting holes can be designed according to the shape of the micro grille lights. Different decorative styles can be achieved by controlling the lighting effects of the micro grille lights. It can be highly customized and adjusted to meet the needs of different consumers and enhance the personalization level of the vehicle.

[0073] In another embodiment, the micro-optical unit 2 can also be used as a projection lamp, which can project dynamic steering projection symbols on the ground to provide clear steering instructions to other road users, effectively reducing the occurrence of accidents and improving driving safety. The projection symbols on the ground can also be customized according to personal preferences or vehicle brands to enhance the personalization and uniqueness of the vehicle and make the driving experience more interesting.
