DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.
[0027] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5As shown, the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle panel structure, including a base 1, a decorative panel 2 and an atmosphere light 3. The base 1 is arranged opposite to the decorative panel 2, and a placement groove 11 is provided on the base 1. The atmosphere light 3 includes a light source 31 and a light guide 32 connected to the light source 31; an installation space and a light-transmitting gap 13 connected to the installation space are formed between the base 1 and the decorative panel 2, the light-transmitting gap 13 is distributed along the side wall of the placement groove 11, the installation space is arranged around the placement groove 11, the light source 31 and the light guide 32 are placed in the installation space, and the light guide 32 is arranged opposite to the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0029] Specifically, the base 1 can be a plate structure, with a recessed middle area of the base 1 forming a placement groove 11. The bottom of the placement groove 11 can be rectangular or trapezoidal, and the walls of the placement groove 11 can be inclined in a direction away from the bottom of the placement groove 11 toward the groove opening. Of course, the walls of the placement groove 11 can also be perpendicular to the bottom of the placement groove 11. A wireless charging device can be installed at a position on the base 1 corresponding to the bottom of the placement groove 11, or a charging cable can be installed inside the placement groove 11, so that the mobile phone can be connected to the charging cable after being placed in the placement groove 11 for charging.
[0030] The above-mentioned decorative panel 2 can be selected as a panel structure with an arc-shaped surface, and of course it can also be selected as a straight panel structure. The edge of the decorative panel 2 can be glued and connected to the edge of the base 1, and of course a card groove can be set on the edge of the base 1. The edge of the decorative panel 2 is folded toward the direction of the base 1 to form a skirt panel, and the skirt panel is plugged into the card groove of the base 1, so that the decorative panel 2 is card-connected to the base 1.
[0031] The middle area of the above-mentioned decorative panel 2 can be optionally provided with a through hole passing through the decorative panel 2 as an avoidance window 21. The shape and area of the avoidance window 21 can be selected to be consistent with the notch of the placement groove 11, so that the avoidance window 21 can completely reveal the internal space of the placement groove 11; of course, the decorative panel 2 can also be selected to be arranged around the placement groove 11, and the decorative panel 2 is connected to the base 1, so that a gap is formed in the central area of the decorative panel 2, and the gap can reveal the placement groove 11.
[0032] The decorative panel 2 and base 1 are spaced apart, creating a mounting space between them for accommodating the ambient light 3. A light guide 32 is positioned within the mounting space, facing the light-transmitting gap 13. Light emitted by the light guide 32 passes through the light-transmitting gap 13 and is incident laterally on the placement slot 11.
[0033] The above-mentioned light guide 32 can be connected to the base 1, and of course it can also be connected to the decorative panel 2, as long as the light guide 32 can emit light toward the light-transmitting gap 13; the light source 31 can be connected to the base 1, and of course it can also be connected to the decorative panel 2, as long as the light guide 32 can be set between the base 1 and the decorative panel 2.
[0034] The above-mentioned decorative panel 2 and base 1 can be optionally arranged relative to each other in the vertical direction and connected to each other, and the edge of the avoidance window 21 or the notch in the central area of the decorative panel 2 is arranged relative to the edge of the notch of the placement slot 11 in the vertical direction, so that the decorative panel 2 and the placement slot 11 form a light-transmitting gap 13. The light emitted by the light guide 32 is blocked by the decorative panel 2 in the vertical direction, so that the light emitted by the light guide 32 through the light-transmitting gap 13 propagates in the horizontal direction and illuminates the placement slot 11. The light propagates in the horizontal direction to illuminate the placement slot 11, so that the occupants can confirm the position of the placement slot 11 in the dark, which has the effect of prompting the position of the placement slot 11. The light emitted by the light guide 32 propagates in the horizontal direction through the light-transmitting gap 13, so that the light will not propagate upward and affect the driver's line of sight.
[0035] The direction of the above-mentioned decorative panel 2 toward the base 1 is the concave direction of the placement groove 11, and the light-transmitting gap 13 is set at the side wall of the placement groove 11, so that after the light emitted by the light guide 32 passes through the light-transmitting gap 13, the light propagates along the concave direction perpendicular to the placement groove 11, so that the light illuminates the inside of the placement groove 11, and the light is confined in the placement groove 11 and will not be emitted from the placement groove 11 in the direction away from the bottom of the placement groove 11, thereby avoiding the light emitted by the ambient light 3 affecting the driver's line of sight.
[0036] The light source 31 of the aforementioned atmosphere lamp 3 can be a white light bulb or a color RGB light source composed of three colors: red (R), green (G), and blue (B), so that the light source 31 can emit white light or light of multiple colors, allowing the atmosphere lamp 3 to illuminate the interior of the placement slot 11 with light of multiple colors. Alternatively, a light source formed by encapsulating an LED (light-emitting diode) bulb on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) circuit can be selected. The light guide 32 can be a tube or strip structure made of transparent or translucent material. The light source 31 can be connected to one end of the light guide 32 so that the light emitted by the light source 31 can propagate through the light guide 32, thereby increasing the overall brightness of the light guide 32 and allowing the light emitted by the light guide 32 to illuminate the interior of the placement slot 11 through the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0037] When the vehicle panel structure provided in the embodiment of the present application is used, the base 1 is installed on the vehicle. The base 1 can be installed on the vehicle's auxiliary dashboard, door or central control position. The light source 31 is connected to the base 1, the light guide 32 is arranged around the placement groove 11 and connected to the base 1, and the decorative panel 2 is connected to the base 1.
[0038] The light emitted by the light source 31 increases the overall brightness of the light guide 32. The light emitted by the light guide 32 illuminates the placement slot 11 through the light-transmitting gap 13, so that the ambient light 3 can remind the occupant of the position of the placement slot 11. The light emitted by the light guide 32 is laterally emitted into the placement slot 11 through the light-transmitting gap 13, so that the light emitted by the light guide 32 illuminates the placement slot 11. The light emitted by the light guide 32 propagates along the base 1 toward the decorative panel 2, thereby avoiding the light emitted by the ambient light 3 affecting the driver's line of sight.
[0039] The vehicle panel structure provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base 1, a decorative panel 2, and an ambient light 3. The base 1 is disposed opposite the decorative panel 2 and is provided with a placement slot 11. The ambient light 3 includes a light source 31 and a light guide 32 connected to the light source 31. A mounting space and a light-transmitting gap 13 connected to the mounting space are formed between the base 1 and the decorative panel 2. The light-transmitting gap 13 is arranged along the sidewalls of the placement slot 11. The mounting space is disposed around the placement slot 11. The light source 31 and the light guide 32 are disposed within the mounting space, with the light guide 32 disposed opposite the light-transmitting gap 13. Light emitted by the light source 31 increases the brightness of the light guide 32, illuminating the placement slot 11 through the light-transmitting gap 13. Light emitted by the light guide 32 passes through the light-transmitting gap 13 and is emitted laterally into the placement slot 11, preventing the light from emitting upward from the placement slot 11 and affecting the driver's vision. This reduces the impact of the ambient light 3 on the driver during use and improves the safety of the vehicle panel.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a first mounting groove 12 is defined in at least one of the base 1 and the decorative panel 2. The first mounting groove 12 is disposed outside the placement groove 11. The light guide 32 is mounted within the first mounting groove 12, with the light guide 32 partially protruding from the first mounting groove 12 and positioned opposite the light-transmitting gap 13. This arrangement allows the first mounting groove 12 to position the light guide 32, and its movement within the first mounting groove 12 is restricted, preventing the light guide 32 from shifting due to vehicle vibration.
[0041] Specifically, the base 1 can be selected to be recessed on one side of the decorative panel 2 to form a first mounting groove 12, and the first mounting groove 12 is arranged around the slot of the placement slot 11. Of course, the decorative panel 2 can also be selected to be recessed on one side of the base 1 to form the first mounting groove 12; the recessed direction of the first mounting groove 12 can be selected to be the depth direction of the first mounting groove 12, and the dimension of the light guide 32 in the depth direction of the first mounting groove 12 is larger than the depth dimension of the first mounting groove 12, so that when the light guide 32 is arranged in the first mounting groove 12 and fits with the bottom of the first mounting groove 12, a part of the light guide 32 away from the bottom of the first mounting groove 12 can also protrude from the slot of the first mounting groove 12, so that the light emitted by the light guide 32 can propagate in a direction parallel to the bottom of the placement slot 11 and pass through the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0042] The above-mentioned base 1 and decorative panel 2 are arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction, and the first installation groove 12 is arranged to be spaced apart from the groove of the placement groove 11 in the horizontal direction. The light emitted in the horizontal direction by the part of the light guide 32 outside the groove of the first installation groove 12 can illuminate the placement groove 11 through the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the light guide 32 includes a light emitting tube 321 and a thick-walled member 322. The thick-walled member 322 is provided with a second mounting groove. The light emitting tube 321 is positioned within the second mounting groove, and at least one end of the light emitting tube 321 is connected to the light source 31. The thick-walled member 322 is connected to the base 1 and has a light-transmitting area disposed opposite the light-transmitting gap 13. This arrangement allows the thick-walled member 322 to maintain a stable position when connected to the base 1. The second mounting groove provides a positioning effect for the light emitting tube 321. Light emitted by the light emitting tube 321 passes through the light-transmitting area and enters the light-transmitting gap 13, making the thick-walled member 322 a basic structure for mounting the light emitting tube 321. The thick-walled member 322 and the second mounting groove enhance the positional stability of the light emitting tube 321.
[0044] Specifically, the light equalizing tube 321 can be selected to have a cylindrical tube structure, and the light equalizing tube 321 is made of transparent material, so that after the light enters the light equalizing tube 321, it propagates inside the light equalizing tube 321; of course, the light equalizing tube 321 can also be selected to have a hollow tube body inside, and a scattering pattern is formed on the inner wall of the light equalizing tube 321. During the process of light propagating inside the light equalizing tube 321, it is reflected on the inner wall of the light equalizing tube 321 many times, thereby improving the brightness of each position of the light equalizing tube 321.
[0045] The above-mentioned thick-walled part 322 can be selected to form a U-shaped or annular bracket. The shape of the thick-walled part 322 is determined by the shape and length of the light-transmitting gap 13. The thick-walled part 322 is connected to the base 1. The thick-walled part 322 can be selected to be recessed on one side facing the decorative panel 2 to form a second mounting groove, and the light-equalizing tube 321 is arranged in the second mounting groove; of course, the thick-walled part 322 can also be selected to be arranged opposite to the light-transmitting gap 13, and the side of the thick-walled part 322 facing away from the light-transmitting gap 13 is recessed toward the light-transmitting gap 13 to form a second mounting groove.
[0046] The above-mentioned thick-walled part 322 can be made of transparent material as a whole, for example, the thick-walled part 322 is made of transparent plastic, so that the thick-walled part 322 as a whole can be light-transmitting, so that the part of the thick-walled part 322 opposite to the light-transmitting gap 13 can be light-transmitting to form a light-transmitting area; of course, the part of the thick-walled part 322 close to the light-transmitting gap 13 can also be made of transparent material, thereby forming a light-transmitting area on the thick-walled part 322, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting tube 321 can pass through the light-transmitting area and enter the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0047] The thick-walled part 322 can be made of a transparent plastic with higher strength, and the light-distributing tube 321 can be made of a plastic tube that is easily deformed, so that the thick-walled part 322 is installed on the base 1 as a basic structure, and the light-distributing tube 321 is bent and conveniently installed in the second installation groove of the thick-walled part 322.
[0048] One end of the above-mentioned light equalizing tube 321 is connected to the light source 31, so that the light emitted by the light source 31 propagates from one end of the light equalizing tube 321 to the other end, thereby improving the overall brightness of the light equalizing tube 321; of course, it is also possible to choose to connect both ends of the light equalizing tube 321 to the light source 31, so that the light emitted by the light source 31 propagates from both ends of the light equalizing tube 321 to the middle part of the light equalizing tube 321, thereby improving the overall brightness of the light equalizing tube 321.
[0049] The thick-walled member 322 can be optionally arranged around the placement groove 11. The placement groove 11 can be a rectangular groove, and the thick-walled member 322 can be a U-shaped structural member. The U-shaped structural member corresponds to the three adjacent edges of the placement groove 11. The second mounting groove extends along the extension direction of the thick-walled member 322, so that the second mounting groove also corresponds to the three adjacent edges of the placement groove 11. The light-distributing tube 321 also forms a U-shaped structure within the second mounting groove, so that the light-distributing tube 321 can be arranged relative to the three adjacent edges of the placement groove 11 in the second mounting groove. Of course, the thick-walled member 322 can also be selected as an annular frame, and the second mounting groove can be an annular groove on the thick-walled member 322. The light-distributing tube 321 is bent into an annular structure and placed into the annular groove of the thick-walled member 322, so that the light-distributing tube 321 and the thick-walled member 322 are arranged around the notch of the placement groove 11.
[0050] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a light guide block 323 is protruding from one side of the light guide member 32 facing the light-transmitting gap 13, and the light guide block 323 extends into the light-transmitting gap 13. This configuration improves the light guiding effect of the light guide block 323 within the light-transmitting gap 13, allowing the light within the light guide member 32 to be emitted into the placement slot 11 along the extension direction of the light guide block 323, thereby reducing the loss of light within the light guide member 32 as it passes through the light-transmitting gap 13 and improving the lighting effect of the ambient light 3 on the interior of the placement slot 11.
[0051] Specifically, the light guide block 323 can be selected as a rectangular block structure, and the light guide block 323 can be selected to extend from one end of the light guide member 32 to the other end of the light guide member 32 on the light guide member 32; of course, it is also possible to select a part of the light guide member 32 to be provided with a light guide block 323, and the light guide block 323 extends along a groove bottom parallel to the placement groove 11 and in a direction away from the light guide member 32, so that the light guide block 323 can extend into the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0052] The light guide block 323 can be selected to be an integrated structure with the light guide member 32. Of course, the light guide block 323 can also be connected to the light guide member 32 by bonding or ultrasonic welding; the light guide block 323 is a transparent block structure, so that the light in the light guide member 32 can pass through the light guide block 323 and emit out of the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0053] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a positioning portion 324 is protruded from the side of the light guide 32 facing the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a positioning groove 14, which is located outside the placement groove 11. The positioning portion 324 is plugged into the positioning groove 14. This arrangement, in which the positioning portion 324 plugs into the positioning groove 14, can define the position of the light guide 32 on the base 1, facilitating the connection operation between the light guide 32 and the base 1.
[0054] Specifically, a block is protruded on one side of the light guide 32 toward the base 1 as a positioning portion 324, and a through groove that passes through the base 1 can be selected as the positioning groove 14, and the positioning groove 14 is spaced apart from the groove opening of the placement groove 11; of course, a first mounting groove 12 can also be selected on the base 1, and the positioning groove 14 is set at the bottom of the first mounting groove 12, and the shapes and sizes of the positioning portion 324 and the positioning groove 14 match each other, so that after the positioning portion 324 is plugged into the positioning groove 14, the side wall of the positioning portion 324 abuts against the groove wall of the positioning groove 14.
[0055] Two positioning grooves 14 can be optionally set on the above-mentioned base 1, and the two positioning grooves 14 are respectively set on both sides of the slot of the placement slot 11. Two positioning parts 324 are set at intervals on the light guide 32, and the light guide 32 is set around the slot of the placement slot 11. The two positioning parts 324 can be set opposite to the two positioning grooves 14 respectively, so that the two positioning parts 324 can be plugged and connected with the two positioning grooves 14 respectively.
[0056] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the decorative panel 2 is provided with a relief window 21 positioned opposite the placement slot 11. A portion of the edge of the placement slot 11 is aligned with the edge of the relief window 21, while the remaining portion of the edge of the placement slot 11 is spaced from the edge of the relief window 21 to form a light-transmitting gap 13. A light guide 32 is disposed around the placement slot 11, with both ends of the light guide 32 extending to the ends of the light-transmitting gap 13 along the direction surrounding the placement slot 11. This arrangement reduces the length of the light-transmitting gap 13, allowing the ambient light 3 to illuminate the placement slot 11 while reducing the length of the light guide 32 required, thereby lowering the cost of the vehicle panel. Furthermore, the partial alignment of the decorative panel 2 with the notch of the placement slot 11 improves the relative stability between the decorative panel 2 and the base 1.
[0057] Specifically, it can be selected that a portion of the edge of the slot of the placement slot 11 is on the first plane, and another portion of the edge is on the second plane, and the distance between the first plane and the bottom of the slot of the placement slot 11 is greater than the distance between the second plane and the bottom of the slot of the placement slot 11. When the decorative panel 2 is fitted with a portion of the edge of the slot of the placement slot 11 located on the first plane, a gap can be formed between the remaining portion of the edge of the slot of the placement slot 11 located on the second plane and the decorative panel 2, and the gap is the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0058] The slot opening of the placement slot 11 can be rectangular, with one edge of the slot 11 abutting against the decorative panel 2 to form a closed area, and the remaining three edges spaced from the decorative panel 2, thereby forming an overall U-shaped light-transmitting gap 13. The light guide 32 is a U-shaped tube having the same shape as the U-shaped light-transmitting gap 13, so that each position of the light guide 32 is positioned opposite the light-transmitting gap 13. The slot opening of the placement slot 11 can be selected to abut against the decorative panel 2 on one side of the vehicle's front end.
[0059] The area around the avoidance window 21 of the above-mentioned decorative panel 2 is an arc-shaped surface, or the decorative panel 2 can also be provided with a skirt surrounding the avoidance window 21 on the side facing the base 1, and the skirt is arranged at the edge of the avoidance window 21, and the skirt is fitted with part of the notch of the placement groove 11 to form a closed area; so that when the avoidance window 21 is fitted with the edge of the notch of the placement groove 11 corresponding to the closed area, there is a storage space between the decorative panel 2 and the base 1 corresponding to the closed area, and the light source 31 can be selected to be arranged in the storage space corresponding to the closed area, thereby rationally utilizing the space between the base 1 and the decorative panel 2.
[0060] Of course, the slot of the placement slot 11 can also be selected to be polygonal, and the edge of the slot of the placement slot 11 close to the front of the vehicle is the first edge 111. The first edge 111 is on the first plane, and the part of the edge adjacent to the first edge 111 close to the first edge is on the first plane, and the remaining edges of the slot of the placement slot 11 are on the second plane, and the decorative panel 2 is fitted with the edge of the slot of the placement slot 11 on the first plane.
[0061] Part of the edge of the slot of the placement slot 11 forms a light-transmitting gap 13 with the decorative panel 2, so that the light-transmitting gap 13 has two ends in the slot direction surrounding the placement slot 11, reducing the overall length of the light-transmitting gap 13, so that a light guide 32 with a smaller length can also be set corresponding to the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0062] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the light source 31 includes two lamp groups, each connected to the ends of the light guide 32. In this arrangement, the two lamp groups simultaneously illuminate the light guide 32, which can improve the overall efficiency of the light guide 32 and improve the uniformity of light emission at all positions of the light guide 32.
[0063] Specifically, the lamp group can be selected to include a bulb 311 and an external power connector 312. The bulb 311 is fitly connected to the end of the light guide 32, and the external power connector 312 is plugged into the bulb 311. The external power connector 312 can supply power to the bulb 311 to make the bulb 311 light up.
[0064] When the decorative panel 2 is aligned with the notch portion of the placement slot 11 to form a closed area and a light-transmitting gap 13, the ends of the light guide 32 can be extended to the ends of the light-transmitting gap 13 along the direction surrounding the notch of the placement slot 11, so that the two lamp groups are placed in the corresponding accommodation space of the closed area. The ends of the light guide 32 are respectively connected to the two bulbs 311. In the direction surrounding the notch of the placement slot 11, the ends of the light guide 32 can be selected to be at the ends of the light-transmitting gap 13, so that the bulbs 311 and the external power connector 312 can be within the closed area.
[0065] The two bulbs 311 can be placed at the two side edges of the slot 11 in the width direction of the vehicle, and the external power connector 312 can be placed at the side edge of the slot 11 close to the front of the vehicle.
[0066] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the placement slot 11 includes a first edge 111 and a second edge 112 that are opposed to each other. The depth of the placement slot 11 gradually decreases from the first edge 111 toward the second edge 112. This configuration allows the placement slot 11 to be shallower at the second edge 112. Light emitted by the ambient light 3 can more easily illuminate the interior of the placement slot 11 through the light-transmitting gap 13, thereby illuminating the placement slot 11 even with a lower brightness of the light emitted by the ambient light 3. Furthermore, the deeper placement slot 11 at the first edge 111 effectively prevents the electronic device being charged from moving due to inertia when the vehicle brakes.
[0067] Specifically, the first edge 111 and the second edge 112 can be arranged relative to each other along the direction from the front of the vehicle to the rear, and the depth of the placement groove 11 at the first edge 111 is greater than the depth of the placement groove 11 at the second edge 112. A closed area is formed at the first edge 111, so that a light-transmitting gap 13 is formed at the second edge 112 and between the second edge 112 and the first edge 111, so that the light emitted by the ambient light 3 can pass through the light-transmitting gap 13 and illuminate the shallower area of the placement groove 11.
[0068] When the above-mentioned decorative panel 2 and the notch portion of the placement groove 11 are fitted together to form a closed area and a light-transmitting gap 13, the closed area can be selected to be formed at the first edge 111, so that the ambient light 3 can illuminate the shallower portion of the placement groove 11 through the light-transmitting gap 13, so that the ambient light 3 can illuminate the placement groove 11 even with a lower brightness.
[0069] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the light guide 32 facing the light-transmitting gap 13 is the light-emitting side, and a predetermined pattern is formed on the light-emitting side. This arrangement causes light to be scattered and refracted after passing through the predetermined pattern structure, thereby adjusting the angle and brightness of the light passing through the light-transmitting gap 13.
[0070] Specifically, a plurality of conical protrusions can be selected to be formed on the light-emitting side, and the plurality of conical protrusions can be arranged to form a specific shape to provide a set pattern on the light-emitting side. Of course, a plurality of conical protrusions can also be selected to be evenly distributed to form a set pattern. Light emitted from the light guide 32 through the plurality of conical protrusions will be refracted. By controlling the shape and size of the conical protrusions, the intensity and divergence of the light entering the light-transmitting gap 13 can be controlled.
[0071] Different positions of the above-mentioned light guide 32 can be selected to have set patterns of different shapes and distributions, so that the light emitted by the light guide 32 at different positions has different illumination effects on the corresponding positions of the placement groove 11, thereby improving the aesthetics of the vehicle panel structure's ambient light 3 when illuminating the placement groove 11.
[0072] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, comprising the vehicle panel structure as described in any one of the above items.
[0073] When a vehicle panel such as the one described above is used in a vehicle, base 1 can be selected as part of the vehicle's secondary instrument panel, center console, or door. Decorative panel 2 is mounted on the upper side of base 1. In a dark environment, ambient light 3 can illuminate placement slot 11. Light emitted by ambient light 3 propagates horizontally through light-transmitting gap 13 to illuminate placement slot 11, preventing the light from ambient light 3 from obstructing the driver's vision.
[0074] In the vehicle panel structure and vehicle use provided by the embodiments of the present application, the base 1 and decorative panel 2 are vertically positioned relative to each other, the thick-walled member 322 is positioned in the first mounting groove 12, and the positioning portion 324 is plugged into the positioning groove 14. The light-distributing tube 321 is positioned in the mounting groove of the thick-walled member 322. The decorative panel 2 is aligned with the first edge 111 to form a closed area. The decorative panel 2 is spaced apart from the remaining edges of the notch of the placement groove 11 to form a light-transmitting gap. The light guide block 323 is positioned within the light-transmitting gap 13. The bulbs 311 and external power connector 312 of the two lamp groups are both within the closed area.
[0075] The two bulbs 311 emit light to increase the brightness of the light-emitting tube 321. The light emitted by the light-emitting tube 321 passes through the set pattern on the light-emitting side of the thick-walled part 322 and enters the light-transmitting gap 13. The light passing through the light-transmitting gap 13 enters the placement groove 11 in a horizontal direction, so that the light emitted by the ambient light 3 illuminates the internal space of the placement groove 11, making it convenient for passengers to place their mobile phones in the placement groove 11 for charging.
