[0024] In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and drawings. The contents mentioned in the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides an anti-cracking automotive atmosphere light strip, comprising a translucent mask 1 arranged on a light strip bracket; the translucent mask 1 is provided with a receiving groove 101 for accommodating a light guide light strip, the light strip bracket has a light strip receiving groove 201 for accommodating the light guide light strip, and the translucent mask 1 is used to limit the light guide light strip in the light strip receiving groove 201; the translucent mask 1 has an acid corrosion resistant layer, which prevents the translucent mask 1 from being corroded by hydrochloric acid released from external automotive leather parts and causing cracking. In actual use, the light strip receiving groove 201 of the light strip bracket provides a stable installation position for the light guide light strip, ensuring that the light guide light strip will not move arbitrarily under the vibration environment during the driving of the car. The receiving groove 101 on the translucent mask 1 cooperates with the light strip receiving groove 201 to further limit the light guide light strip in a specific position, thereby increasing the stability of the light guide light strip. The leather of a car will produce hydrochloric acid that will corrode the light-transmitting mask 11. In addition, in the car environment, the light-transmitting mask 1 may also come into contact with substances with a certain pH, such as battery acid, detergents, and coolants. In the prior art, substances with a certain pH will corrode the structure of the light-transmitting mask 1, causing the light-transmitting mask 1 to soften and become unable to place the light guide strip in the light strip receiving groove 201, thereby causing the light guide strip to crack. The present invention adds an acid- and alkali-resistant additive during the production process of the light-transmitting mask 1, so that the light-transmitting mask 1 has an acid-corrosion-resistant layer, making the light-transmitting mask 1 less susceptible to external corrosion, thereby extending the service life of the light-transmitting mask 1 and preventing the light guide strip from cracking.

[0026] Specifically, the receiving groove 101 is recessed from the outer surface of the translucent mask 1. The translucent mask 1 is provided with a relief opening 102 extending through the sidewall of the receiving groove 101. The relief opening 102 is used to prevent the light guide strip located within the light bar receiving groove 201 from extending outside the translucent mask 1. In this embodiment, the light bar bracket is equipped with two light guide strips. The light guide strips enter the light bar receiving groove 201 through a through-opening 204 provided through the sidewall of the light bar bracket, leaving the remaining light guide strips in the middle side relief portion. The translucent mask 1 is installed within the light bar receiving groove 201. The receiving groove 101 accommodates the light guide strip. The relief opening 102 avoids the strips to prevent interference between the light guide strips and the sidewall structure of the receiving groove 101. During actual use, the light guide light bar enters the light bar accommodating groove 201 through the penetration opening 204, and the user installs the translucent mask 1 in the light bar accommodating groove 201. The accommodating groove 101 and the light bar accommodating groove 201 form an accommodating channel that limits the movement of the light guide light bar. The avoidance opening 102 avoids the light guide bar body left outside, thereby preventing the translucent mask 1 from interfering with the light guide bar structure or the translucent mask 1 from oppressing the light guide bar body.

[0027] Specifically, the translucent mask 1 has a latch 103 extending from the sidewall of the receiving recess 101 away from the bottom wall. The light bar support is provided with a latching hole 202 for receiving the latch 103. The latch 103 has a latching boss 104 for passing through the latching hole 202 and abutting the light bar support. The latch 103 is used to latch the translucent mask 1 to the light bar support. In this embodiment, the latching hole 202 is located on the bottom wall of the light bar receiving recess 201 and extends through the bottom wall. During actual use, the user installs the translucent mask 1 in the light bar accommodating groove 201, the fastener 103 passes through the fastener through-hole 202 and the fastener boss 104 contacts the back side of the bottom wall of the light bar accommodating groove 201, so that the translucent mask 1 is firmly installed on the light bar bracket, preventing the vibration and impact during the driving of the car from separating the translucent mask 1 from the light bar bracket, thereby causing the light guide light bar to be subjected to external impact or wear.

[0028] Specifically, the receiving groove 101 is provided with a plurality of ribs 105. These ribs 105 extend from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 101 toward the light guide strip. These ribs 105 are used to abut the light guide strip. In actual use, the transparent cover 1 is installed within the light strip receiving groove 201, which houses the light guide strip. Because the light guide strip is interference-fitted within the receiving groove 201, the ribs 105 contact the light guide strip, effectively limiting its movement along the opening of the receiving groove 101.

[0029] Specifically, the accommodating groove 101 is provided with a plurality of limiting bosses 106, which extend from the inner sidewall of the accommodating groove 101. The limiting bosses 106 are used to abut the light guide bar to limit the movement of the light guide bar along the width direction of the transparent mask 1. In this embodiment, the limiting bosses on the inner sidewall of the accommodating groove 101 are arranged in pairs. In actual use, the transparent mask 1 is installed in the light bar accommodating groove 201, and the accommodating groove 101 covers the light guide bar. The oppositely arranged limiting bosses 106 are located on both sides of the light guide bar and abut the light guide bar, which helps to limit the width direction movement of the light guide bar transparent mask 1.

[0030] Specifically, the light-transmitting mask 1 has a light-transmitting portion 107 made of a light-transmitting material, and the light-transmitting portion 107 is used to gather or diffuse the light generated by the light-guiding light bar. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting mask 1 is made of PC material with good light transmittance. If a focusing effect is to be achieved, the PC light-transmitting mask 1 can be designed to have a specific optical surface, such as a convex lens. This surface can make the light converge to a specific position. If a light diffusion effect is to be achieved, the PC light-transmitting mask 1 can be treated with a frosted surface. This treatment method increases the roughness of the mask's surface, causing light to scatter when passing through the light-transmitting mask 1, thereby evenly distributing the light in the surrounding environment. Users can choose a suitable surface treatment method for the light-transmitting mask 1 according to the application scenario of the atmosphere light and the desired light transmission effect.

[0031] Specifically, the light-transmitting mask 1 is provided with a positioning slot 108 extending through the sidewall of the receiving recess 101. The light bar support is provided with a positioning post 203 that receives the positioning slot 108. The positioning slot 108 mates with the positioning post 203 and serves to calibrate the position of the light-transmitting mask 1. In this embodiment, the positioning posts 203 extend from the sidewall of the light bar receiving recess 201, away from the sidewall. Two positioning posts 203 are symmetrically arranged on the sidewall of the light bar receiving recess 201. In actual use, the user first aligns the positioning slot 108 with the positioning post 203, fits the positioning slot 108 onto the positioning post 203, and then presses the light-transmitting mask 1 into the light bar receiving recess 201. Because the two ends of the light-transmitting mask 1 are not symmetrical, the structural orientation of the light-transmitting mask 1 must be confirmed before installation in the light bar receiving recess 201. The positioning slot 108 also serves as a foolproofing feature, making it easier for the user to identify the structural orientation and avoid installation errors.

[0032] Specifically, the light-transmitting mask 1 is curved. This curved shape helps match the streamlined structure of the vehicle, making the ambient light equipped with this light-transmitting mask 1 more aesthetically pleasing. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting mask 1 can also be in a straight line, a circular ring, or a rectangular frame. The user can select the appropriate shape or structure based on the location of the light-transmitting mask 1 in the vehicle.

[0033] Specifically, the light-transmitting mask 1 is placed within the car leather, which has a gap revealing a light-transmitting portion 107. The width of the light-transmitting portion 107 is greater than the width of the gap. In this embodiment, the light bar bracket and the light guide strip are both concealed within the car leather. Hiding the light bar bracket and the light guide strip within the leather maintains the overall cleanliness and aesthetics of the car interior. When the light guide strip emits light, it is refracted through the light-transmitting portion 107 exposed through the gap in the leather. The light-transmitting portion 107 presents a linear luminous element, effectively enhancing the lighting atmosphere within the car.

[0034] Specifically, the anti-cracking automotive atmosphere light strip of the utility model is manufactured by the following steps:

[0035] S1. Adding a hydrochloric acid corrosion-resistant additive material to a plastic material to prepare an acid corrosion-resistant mixed material; injecting the molten or powdered acid corrosion-resistant mixed material into a mold cavity, and injection molding to obtain a light-transmitting mask 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, in step S1, the plastic waste of the electric toothbrush is first recovered and put into a grinder for crushing, and the crushed plastic powder is mixed with additives (the additives include: whitening agent, silica powder and antioxidant) and put into a blender for stirring. The stirred mixed material is heated and liquefied and then extruded into a linear plastic through an extruder, and then the linear plastic is placed in a water tank for cooling. Finally, the cooled plastic is blown away with water through an air dryer and put into a pelletizer to be granulated to obtain injection molding raw materials. Since silica powder is resistant to corrosion by chemical substances such as acid, alkali, and salt, the translucent mask 1 made by injection molding the injection molding raw material containing silica powder material has good acid, alkali, and salt corrosion resistance. In addition, the material composition of the translucent mask 1 contains antioxidants, which can effectively enhance the service life of the translucent mask 1.

[0037] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
