For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0036] In the first aspect, the present utility model discloses an optical structure for a thick-walled part.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 12 , an optical structure for a thick-walled part includes a primary optical unit 2 and a secondary optical unit 3. The primary optical unit 2 includes a light incident collimating part 21 and a light output part 22. The light incident collimating part 21 collimates the light emitted by the light source 1 into parallel light or approximately parallel light, and the angular difference between the approximately parallel light and the parallel light does not exceed ±10°. The light output part 22 converges the light collimated by the light incident collimating part 21 to point O. The secondary optical unit 3 includes a light incident surface 31 and two total reflection surfaces 32, and the two total reflection surfaces 32 are located on both sides of the light incident surface 31. The light incident surface 31 is used for the light at point O to enter after refraction, and the total reflection surfaces 32 are used for reflecting and emitting part of the light entering the light incident surface 31. Point O is located near the light incident surface 31 to ensure that all the light emitted by the primary optical unit 2 enters the secondary optical unit 3.

[0038] Specifically, the light incident collimating part 21 can be a condenser, a Fresnel lens or a lens, or other structures that can input parallel light. The light output part 22 can be a patterned surface or other continuous regular surfaces.

[0039] Further, the light incident surface 31 adopts a concave surface, a convex surface or a flat surface, and preferably a concave surface. Referring to Figures 5 to 8, each light incident collimating part 21 can correspond to multiple light incident surfaces 31, or can also correspond to only one light incident surface 31.

[0040] Furthermore, the entire reflecting surface 32 is planar or curved, preferably planar.

[0041] The two entire reflecting surfaces 32 are arranged in a propping and inclined manner, and the distance between the two entire reflecting surfaces 32 near one end of the primary optical unit 2 is less than the distance between the two entire reflecting surfaces 32 far from one end of the primary optical unit 2. The angle between the two entire reflecting surfaces 32 is ±40 degrees, preferably ±20 degrees. Due to the inclined arrangement of the two entire reflecting surfaces 32, the light reflected between the two entire reflecting surfaces 32 can be concentrated towards the symmetry center line of the two entire reflecting surfaces after multiple reflections, thereby making the light in the main direction more uniform. Refer to Figure 9 , the angle between the light and the symmetry center line of the two entire reflecting surfaces becomes smaller and smaller, that is, angle 1 > angle 2 > angle 3 > angle 4.

[0042] Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , in another embodiment, the light incident collimating part 21 includes a collimating light incident surface 211 and a refracting surface 212. The collimating light incident surface 211 is used for the light of the light source 1 to enter, and the refracting surface 212 is used to emit the light entering from the collimating light incident surface 211 at a certain angle, which is 90° in this embodiment. This solution is especially suitable for the situation where the installation space is limited, and can reduce the length requirement in a single direction during installation.

[0043] Furthermore, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the secondary optical unit 3 and the primary optical unit 2 can change the angle on the thick-walled part to change the overall angle of the emitted light.

[0044] Working principle: The light emitted by the light source 1 is collimated into approximately parallel light by the light incident collimating part 21, and then the approximately parallel light is converged to point O by the light emitting part 22. The light at point O diverges and enters the light incident surface 31. For the light entering the light incident surface 31, part of the light is directly emitted, and part of the light is emitted after being reflected by the entire reflecting surface 32. The light incident surface 31 and the entire reflecting surface 32 act together to improve the lighting uniformity, and at the same time, different from pattern diffusion, it can make the angle of the emitted light relatively concentrated.

[0046] A vehicle lamp includes the above-mentioned thick-walled part optical structure.

[0047] In the third aspect, the present invention discloses a vehicle.

[0048] A vehicle includes the above-mentioned vehicle lamp.

[0049] Based on the above-mentioned ideal embodiments of the present utility model as an inspiration, through the above description, relevant staff can completely make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
