Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobiles, and more particularly to a headlight and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] Headlight fogging occurs due to a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the lampshade, causing water vapor to condense in the cooler areas of the lampshade. Heat from the engine to the headlights and sunlight to the taillights raises the temperature inside the lamp cavity, creating a pressure difference inside and outside the lamp. This accelerates air exchange, allowing moist air to enter the lamp. This causes water vapor to condense in the cooler areas of the lampshade, resulting in fogging.

[0003] Traditional solutions to fogging are as follows: 1. Add desiccant to the headlight; 2. Adjust the position of the air vents on the side of the lamp housing. Using desiccant carries the risk of leaking due to damage to the desiccant packaging. Furthermore, desiccant is a consumable item with an expiration date and needs to be replaced after it expires. While the desiccant life can be extended by reducing the amount of air flow through the lamp and the amount of gas exchange inside and outside the headlight, indefinitely reducing the amount of air flow will result in a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the headlight, which may have other impacts on the lamp. Adjusting the position of the air vents carries the risk of water vapor entering the lamp through the air vents when the headlight housing is exposed to rain.

[0004] Therefore, how to reduce the occurrence of fogging and water ingress of vehicle lights has become a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0025] Figure 2 This is another embodiment of a vehicle lamp disclosed in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0026] Wherein, 10 is a lamp housing, 20 is a lamp cavity, 30 is a container, 31 is a first deformable structure, and 40 is a second deformable structure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The core of the utility model is to disclose a vehicle lamp to reduce the occurrence of fogging and water ingress into the vehicle lamp.

[0028] Another core of the present invention is to disclose a car comprising the above-mentioned headlight.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present utility model discloses a vehicle lamp, comprising a lamp housing 10, an air pressure balancing device and a desiccant.

[0031] The lamp housing 10 forms a sealed lamp cavity 20 for accommodating a light-emitting component, preferably an LED lamp. The air pressure balancing device includes at least one of a first air pressure balancing component and a second air pressure balancing component. The first air pressure balancing component is disposed within the lamp cavity 20 to absorb air within or release air into the lamp cavity 20. The second air pressure balancing component is disposed on the lamp housing 10 to balance the air pressure within the lamp cavity 20 by changing the volume of the lamp cavity 20. A desiccant is disposed within the lamp cavity 20 to absorb moisture within the lamp cavity 20; the desiccant is not shown in the figure.

[0032] When the light-emitting component is operating, or when the lamp housing 10 is placed in a high-temperature environment, heat is generated inside the lamp cavity 20. This heat accumulation causes the air inside the lamp cavity 20 to expand due to the heat, increasing the air pressure to a level higher than the external air pressure. When the temperature inside the lamp cavity 20 drops, the air inside the lamp cavity 20 cools and contracts, causing the air pressure to drop below the external air pressure. The first air pressure balancing component is disposed inside the lamp cavity 20. When the air pressure inside the lamp cavity 20 increases, it can absorb some of the air inside the lamp cavity 20. When the pressure inside the lamp cavity 20 drops, it can release air into the lamp cavity 20, thereby balancing the air pressure inside the lamp cavity 20.

[0033] The second air pressure balancing component is arranged on the lamp housing 10. When the pressure in the lamp cavity 20 increases, the second air pressure balancing component 20 can play a certain pressure relief role by increasing the volume of the lamp cavity 20; when the pressure in the lamp cavity 20 decreases, the second air pressure balancing component 20 can balance the air pressure in the lamp cavity 20 by reducing the volume of the lamp cavity 20, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the lamp housing 10.

[0034] The vehicle lamp disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention has a closed lamp cavity 20, which can reduce the amount of moisture in the outside air entering the lamp cavity 20, thereby reducing the occurrence of water ingress and fogging. The provision of an air pressure balancing device can balance the air pressure in the lamp cavity 20, reducing the risk of the lamp exploding due to increased pressure in the lamp cavity 20, and at the same time reducing the occurrence of damage to the lamp housing due to reduced air pressure in the lamp cavity 20. The provision of a desiccant can absorb moisture in the lamp cavity 20, ensuring the dryness of the interior of the lamp cavity 20, which can further reduce the occurrence of fogging.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, the first air pressure balancing device includes a container 30 disposed in the lamp cavity 20, and the container 30 contains dry air. It should be noted that the container 30 is provided with a first deformable structure 31, and the first deformable structure 31 is provided with an opening. When there is a pressure difference between the lamp cavity 20 and the container 30, the opening can be opened, and the container 30 can absorb air from the lamp cavity 20 or release air from the container 30 into the lamp cavity 20. When the air pressure in the lamp cavity 20 increases, the first deformable structure 31 is deformed and bulges toward one side of the container 30. At this time, the opening is opened, and air from the lamp cavity 20 enters the container 30 until the air pressure in the container 30 reaches equilibrium with the air pressure in the lamp cavity 20. When the air pressure in the lamp cavity 20 decreases, the first deformable structure 31 bulges toward the lamp cavity 20, and air from the container 30 enters the lamp cavity 20 until the air pressures of the two reach equilibrium, thereby balancing the air pressure in the lamp cavity 20.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the opening is a gap provided on the first deformable structure 31. When the first deformable structure 31 is deformed, the first deformable structure 31 bulges toward the side with less pressure, and the gap becomes larger, so that the container 30 absorbs air in the lamp cavity 20 or releases air into the lamp cavity 20. Figure 2 The arrows in represent the flow direction of the gas. Specifically, the first deformable structure 31 may be a flexible film.

[0037] In order to reduce the influence of the heat of the light emitting component on the air temperature in the container 30, a heat insulating material is provided on the outer wall of the container 30. Specifically, the heat insulating material can be polyurethane or rock wool. At the same time, the container 30 is provided in the lamp cavity 20 away from the light emitting component.

[0038] The container 30 and the lamp housing 10 can be connected in a detachable manner, such as a snap connection, or in a non-detachable manner, such as an adhesive connection, or in a welding manner, specifically ultrasonic welding.

[0039] In the vehicle lamp disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention, the first deformable structure 31 can be circular, square, or elliptical in shape. The first deformable structure 31 and the container 30 can be connected by welding, bonding, or hot-melt connection.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the second air pressure balancing component includes a second deformable structure 40, which is disposed on the lamp housing 10 to deform as the pressure in the lamp cavity 20 changes to balance the air pressure in the lamp cavity 20. When the air pressure in the lamp cavity 20 is high, the second deformable structure 40 bulges outward from the lamp cavity 20. Figure 2 The dotted line shown in the lower middle part is used to reduce the explosion phenomenon caused by the increase of air pressure in the lamp cavity 20; when the air pressure in the lamp cavity is low, the second deformable structure 40 protrudes into the interior of the lamp cavity 20, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The upper dotted line shown in FIG can reduce the occurrence of damage to the lamp housing 10 caused by the reduction of pressure in the lamp cavity 20. The second deformable structure 40 and the lamp housing 10 can be connected by welding or hot melting.

[0041] In order to reduce moisture in the lamp cavity 20 , an anti-fog coating is provided on the inner wall of the lamp cavity 20 .

[0042] In addition, the present invention also discloses a car, including the headlights of the above embodiment, and thus has all the technical effects of the above headlights, which will not be described in detail here.
