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

[0030] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections, electrical connections, or mutual communication; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; they can refer to internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0031] The lamp and vehicle in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] In the prior art, the points used for positioning and installing the headlights occupy the already narrow space of the headlights, which is not conducive to the layout design of other components of the headlights, and the installation of the headlights is relatively difficult.

[0033] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a lamp, including a lamp body and a positioning structure, the positioning structure including a plurality of spaced connection support legs, the connection support legs having a support surface, the support surface being provided with a connection point connected to a vehicle frame, the orthographic projection of the connection point on the plane where the support surface is located is located outside the orthographic projection of the lamp body on the plane where the support surface is located. On the plane where the support surface is located, by setting the orthographic projection of the connection point for connection with the vehicle frame outside the orthographic projection of the lamp body, it is possible to avoid the connection point occupying the space of the vehicle lamp, which is conducive to the diversified design of the lamp, and the orthographic projection of the connection point outside the orthographic projection of the lamp body facilitates the installation operation of the lamp body on the vehicle frame, effectively improves the assembly quality of the lamp body, and ensures the stability of the lamp. This is elaborated below.

[0034] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the lamp includes a lamp body 10 and a positioning structure 20. The lamp body 10 is positioned and installed on the vehicle frame 40 by the positioning structure 20. The positioning structure 20 includes a plurality of spaced connecting support legs 21. In this embodiment, the number of the connecting support legs 21 is four; the connecting support legs 21 have a supporting surface 213. When the lamp is installed on the vehicle frame 40, the supporting surface 213 fits the vehicle frame 40, which can ensure the stability of the lamp during installation and effectively improve the assembly quality of the lamp; a connecting point 214 is provided on the supporting surface 213. The connecting point 214 is used to connect with the vehicle frame 40. The fixing structure 30 is used to fix the connection with the vehicle frame 40 at the position of the connecting point 214. The orthographic projection of the connecting point 214 on the plane where the supporting surface 213 is located is located outside the orthographic projection of the lamp body 10 on the plane where the supporting surface 213 is located, that is, the connecting point 214 is arranged outside the range of the lamp body 10 ( Figure 1 With this arrangement, the connection point 214 does not occupy the space of the lamp body 10, nor does it interfere with the installation of related components on the lamp body 10. At the same time, the connection point 214 is arranged on the periphery of the lamp body 10, which facilitates the operation of the installer during installation and is conducive to improving the assembly quality of the lamp.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the fixing structure 30 includes a fixing hole 31, a bolt 32 and a nut 33. The fixing hole 31 is provided on the connecting support leg 21 where the support surface 213 is located. The nut 33 passes through the fixing hole 31 and then passes through the frame 40 and is fastened by the nut 33 (e.g., Figure 3 As shown), the lamp is installed on the frame 40 with a simple structure and reliable connection. In some embodiments, other forms of fixed structures 30 may be used, but are not limited thereto, as long as they can ensure a stable connection between the lamp and the frame 40 and ensure the stability of the lamp after connection.

[0036] See Figure 1 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 In one embodiment, the connecting support leg 21 includes a connecting portion 211 and a supporting portion 212. The connecting portion 211 is connected to the lamp body 10, and the supporting portion 212 is connected to the end of the connecting portion 211 away from the lamp body 10. That is, through the setting of the connecting portion 211, the supporting portion 212 is separated from the lamp body 10, and the supporting surface 213 is set on the supporting portion 212. Such an arrangement can keep the supporting surface 213 (that is, the connection point 214) away from the lamp body 10, avoiding interference between the supporting portion 212 and the lamp body 10, and facilitating installation operations.

[0037] It should be noted that the connecting portion 211 and the supporting portion 212 are arranged in a plate shape in this embodiment, and a reinforcing rib (not marked in the figure) is provided between the connecting portion 211 and the supporting portion 212 to strengthen the stability of the connection between the connecting portion 211 and the supporting portion 212, thereby improving the stability of the supporting portion 212. Under the action of external force, the supporting portion 212 is more likely to remain stationary relative to the lamp body 10, thereby improving the stability of the lamp installation; in addition, by spacing the supporting portion 212 from the lamp body 10, the orientation of each supporting portion 212 (in this embodiment, the supporting portion 212 is in a plate shape, and the orientation is the direction perpendicular to the supporting surface 213, the same below) can be controlled to be consistent, which facilitates the installation of the lamp. Along the predetermined direction, multiple supporting portions 212 (supporting surfaces 213) can be simultaneously fitted with the vehicle frame 40, thereby improving the installation efficiency and ensuring that the orientation of the supporting portion 212 is not restricted by the shape of the lamp itself, thereby improving the designability of the lamp. In some embodiments, multiple support portions 212 can also be arranged flush (that is, the support surfaces 213 of each support portion 212 are arranged coplanarly), and the design of the connecting portion 211 and the support portion 212 can be determined according to specific needs based on one or more factors such as the shape of the frame 40 (the shape for lamp assembly), the design shape of the lamp, and the positioning requirements of the lamp.

[0038] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the connecting portion 211 is arranged at the edge of the lamp body 10, which avoids the connecting portion 211 occupying the space of the lamp body 10 and is beneficial to the arrangement and installation of various components of the lamp. Such a setting ensures that the supporting portion 212 does not occupy the space of the lamp body 10.

[0039] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the lamp body 10 has at least two side edges 11. In this embodiment, there are three side edges 11, which are connected end to end. The connecting support legs 21 are arranged on the adjacent two sides. Such an arrangement does not occupy the upper portion of the lamp body 10 ( Figure 1 The space (in the perspective) is beneficial to the design of the lamp body 10, can meet the vehicle styling requirements and structural requirements, and provides an operable space above the lamp body 10.

[0040] It should be noted that the number of sides 11 is determined by the specific structure of the lamp body 10. In some embodiments, the number of sides 11 can be four or any other number. The arrangement of the connecting support legs 21 satisfies the positioning requirements of the lamp and ensures the stability of the lamp body 10 after installation. In some embodiments, the side 11 has a positioning surface, and the positioning structure 20 also includes positioning pads 23 spaced apart on the positioning surface. In some embodiments, the positioning pads 23 can be embedded in the positioning surface or bonded to the positioning surface. When the connecting support legs 21 are arranged on part of the side 11 and cannot meet the positioning requirements of the lamp body 10, the positioning pads 23 can be provided on the positioning surface to stabilize the lamp body 10, so that the lamp body 10 meets the DTS size definition requirements, and the deformation of the lamp body 10 when the vehicle is in use is prevented, which affects the appearance and use of the lamp. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, three positioning pads 23 are spaced apart on the positioning surfaces on the two longer sides 11 of the lamp body 10 to stabilize the lamp body 10. It should also be noted that the vehicle frame 40 has a mounting hole into which the lamp body 10 is embedded. The positioning surfaces are the surfaces on the side edges 11 of the lamp body 10 that face the mounting hole wall when the lamp body 10 is embedded in the mounting hole. The positioning pads 23 are disposed between the mounting hole wall (the vehicle frame 40) and the positioning surfaces.

[0041] DTS (Dimensional Technical Specification) refers to the design requirements for clearances and flushness between various components within a vehicle's exterior and interior. It is a key indicator of vehicle interior and exterior manufacturing quality and reflects the overall vehicle's dimensional quality and manufacturing level. It defines nominal values ​​for clearances, flushness, and fillets within the vehicle's exterior and interior, and establishes tolerance control standards for each nominal value.

[0042] See Figure 7 In one embodiment, the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the lamp body 10 on the plane where the support surface 213 is located is S1㎝2, and the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the connecting support leg 21 on the plane where the support surface 213 is located is S2㎝2, satisfying: S2 / S1<60%; in this embodiment, the number of the connecting support legs 21 is N, where N is an integer greater than three, and in this embodiment, it is set to four. The proportion of the area can be intuitively reflected that the connecting support legs 21 do not occupy the space of the lamp body 10, and can provide more installation locations for the other components of the lamp, provide more design space and design methods for each component, and facilitate the installation operation of each component; in addition, the connection support leg 21 is arranged below the lamp body 10 ( Figure 1 Perspective), the space above the lamp body 10 is not occupied. Therefore, the vehicle part above the lamp body 10 can have more design space, leaving more space for the entire vehicle, making the shape more maneuverable, while ensuring the size requirements of the lamp and meeting the yield of its own production.

[0043] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the value of N can be five or six. Of course, the larger the value of N is, the better. The specific structure of the lamp body 10 needs to be considered. In addition, the impact of vibration, impact and other test items on the fixed structure 30 connecting the support leg 21 and the frame 40 needs to be considered at the same time.

[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the lamp has a first direction X (eg Figure 4-6 The first direction X is perpendicular to the support surface 213, and the positioning structure 20 further includes latches 22 arranged at intervals, which extend along the first direction X. In this embodiment, the first direction X is the front-rear direction of the vehicle. When assembling the lamp, the lamp is moved toward the vehicle along the first direction X until the support surface 213 abuts against the vehicle frame 40. Before the support surface 213 abuts against the vehicle frame 40, due to the provision of the above-mentioned latch 22, the latch 22 preferentially contacts the latch hole 24 on the vehicle frame 40. When the lamp continues to move toward the vehicle, the latch 22 is gradually inserted into the latch hole 24 on the vehicle frame 40 until the support surface 213 abuts against the vehicle frame 40. Since two latches 22 are arranged at intervals, when the latch 22 is inserted into the latch hole 24, it can limit the up, down, left, right and rotation direction of the lamp ( Figure 1 while being able to quickly locate the fixed position between the connection point 214 and the frame 40, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0045] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, before the fixing structure 30 is installed, in order to stabilize the lamp body 10 as much as possible, the latch 22 may be arranged at the leftmost and rightmost positions ( Figure 1 The latch 22 is mounted on the support surface 213 (in the perspective of the lamp body 10). This eliminates the need for an additional mounting location and does not occupy space on the lamp body 10. Furthermore, its placement on the support surface 213 ensures sufficient contact between the support surface 213 and the vehicle frame 40, ensuring assembly quality. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first direction X can be set to another direction, such as from the driver's side to the passenger side of the vehicle. In this case, the assembly direction and the orientation of the support surface 213 will also change accordingly, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0046] In one embodiment, in order to improve the limitation of the freedom of the lamp by the latch 22, the cross section of the latch 22 perpendicular to the first direction X can be cross-shaped, which can improve the limitation effect of the freedom of the lamp. In order to ensure that the latch 22 is smoothly inserted into the latch hole 24 on the frame 40, the cross-sectional area of ​​the free end of the latch 22 (i.e., the end away from the lamp body 10) gradually decreases in the direction away from the lamp body 10 (such as Figure 5In some embodiments, the latch 22 may also be cylindrical, and a limiting groove 221 is provided on the side wall of the latch 22, which is matched with a limiting protrusion 241 provided on the wall of the latch hole 24. When the latch 22 is inserted, the limiting protrusion 241 falls into the limiting groove 221 to fix the latch 22 (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 shown), but not limited thereto.

[0047] See Figure 1 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the positioning structure 20 includes four connecting support legs 21 and two pins 22, and the two pins 22 are arranged on the supporting surface 213 of the connecting support legs 21. Six positioning pads 23 are arranged at intervals on the side 11 to assist in the positioning of the lamp; in this embodiment, S2=155㎝2, S1=320㎝2, S2 / S1=48%<60%. The positioning method in this embodiment is analyzed through CAE model analysis, and the result is qualified, meeting the DTS size definition requirements.

[0048] On the other hand, the present application also provides a vehicle, comprising any one of the above-mentioned lamps, which is arranged on the vehicle.

[0049] By adopting the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, on the plane where the support surface is located, by setting the orthographic projection of the connection point for connecting to the vehicle frame outside the orthographic projection of the lamp body, it is possible to avoid the connection point occupying the space of the vehicle lamp, which is conducive to the diversified design of the lamp. Moreover, the orthographic projection of the connection point is outside the orthographic projection of the lamp body, which facilitates the installation operation of the lamp body on the vehicle frame, effectively improves the assembly quality of the lamp body, and ensures the stability of the lamp.
