[0030] With the rapid development of automotive lighting technology, while the quality of the lights themselves is improving, consumers are increasingly demanding not only aesthetically pleasing lights but also durability. Existing automotive lights, while durable, are manufactured as separate components. When installed on the vehicle, the headlights are directly under the hood. This can easily cause collisions between the hood and the lights during driving, producing unusual noises and even damaging the lights. This is detrimental to long-term use and results in poor durability.

[0031] The present invention provides a vehicle lamp 100 .

[0032] See also Figure 1In one embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle lamp 100 includes a lamp housing 1, a lampshade 2, a lighting assembly 3 and a shock-absorbing assembly; the lampshade 2 is detachably connected to the lamp housing 1, and an installation space is formed between the lampshade 2 and the lamp housing 1, and the lampshade 2 has an abutting area 21 abutting against the engine cover; the lighting assembly 3 is installed in the installation space, and the lighting assembly 3 is used to emit light toward the lampshade 2; the shock-absorbing pad 4 is located outside the installation space, the shock-absorbing pad 4 is connected to the lampshade 2, and the shock-absorbing pad 4 completely covers the abutting area 21, so that the shock-absorbing pad 4 is padded between the lampshade 2 and the engine cover.

[0033] The vehicle lamp 100 of the present invention installs the light assembly 3 in the installation space surrounded by the lamp housing 1 and the lampshade 2, which can prevent dust and ensure the service life of the light assembly 3. At the same time, the interior of the installation space is kept clean to maintain the best lighting effect. Moreover, since the lampshade 2 and the lamp housing 1 are detachably connected, it is not only convenient to inspect, clean and repair the internal structure of the vehicle lamp 100, but also when an internal component in the installation space is damaged, it can be easily replaced without replacing the entire component, thus reducing costs. By arranging a shock-absorbing pad 4 on the lampshade 2, the shock-absorbing pad can seal the gap between the hood and the vehicle lamp during driving. The empty area between the hood and the headlight 100 can be used to prevent wind from entering the empty area and generating wind noise. In addition, on some bumpy roads, the shock-absorbing pad 4 thus provided can effectively reduce the pressure and impact from the hood, and can avoid the damage to the headlight 100 caused by the direct collision with the headlight 100 due to the up and down vibration of the hood, which is conducive to long-term use and the durability of the headlight 100 is better. In addition, the shock-absorbing pad is directly installed, the structure is simple, and it is convenient to load and unload, so as to achieve lightweighting of the headlight. In addition, since the shock-absorbing pad 4 is made of flexible material, when an accidental vehicle collision occurs, the hood can deform downward after the collision to compress the shock-absorbing pad 4 to absorb energy, thereby ensuring safety and reducing damage.

[0034] It should be noted that by installing the lamp housing 1 on the vehicle body, the entire vehicle lamp 100 is installed and fixed.

[0035] In one embodiment, a locking hole is formed in the contact area 21 , a buckle 41 is passed through the shock-absorbing pad 4 , and the buckle 41 is locked in the locking hole.

[0036] As can be understood, the cooperation between the buckle 41 and the hole allows for quick installation and removal of the shock-absorbing pad 4, simplifying the assembly process and improving production efficiency. This design also greatly facilitates repairing or replacing the shock-absorbing pad 4. Furthermore, the cooperation between the buckle 41 and the hole ensures that the shock-absorbing pad 4 can be accurately installed in the intended position, avoiding the problem of poor shock absorption due to position deviation. This helps maintain the stability and performance of the headlight 100 throughout its entire life cycle. Furthermore, compared to using adhesives or other fixing methods, the buckle 41 connection provides a stronger fixing force, maintaining the stability of the shock-absorbing pad 4 even in a long-term vibration environment and reducing the risk of it falling off.

[0037] In addition, the buckle 41 can be made of a plastic buckle to prevent the headlight 100 and the hood from being scratched.

[0038] In other embodiments, the shock-absorbing pad 4 may also be fixed to the lampshade 2 by bolts.

[0039] In one embodiment, the shock-absorbing pad 4 matches the shape of the abutting area 21 , and the shock-absorbing pad 4 completely covers the abutting area 21 .

[0040] It can be understood that since the shock-absorbing pad 4 matches the shape of the abutment area 21, they can fit tightly without any gaps, ensuring that the entire bracket does not contact the hood and increasing the abutment area between the shock-absorbing pad 4 and the hood, which can effectively disperse the pressure and impact from the hood, thereby protecting the structure of the headlight 100 from damage; in addition, the shock-absorbing pad 4 completely covers the abutment area 21, which can prevent foreign matter such as dust and water vapor from entering the interior of the car body through the gap between the hood and the headlight 100, keeping it clean.

[0041] In one embodiment, the shock-absorbing pad 4 is a sponge pad or a rubber pad.

[0042] It can be understood that both the sponge pad and the rubber pad have good softness and elasticity, can effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy, and reduce the impact force transmitted to the inside of the headlight 100; and both have excellent resilience and fatigue resistance, and can maintain their original shape and performance after repeated pressure; in addition, both the sponge pad and the rubber pad are light in weight, easy to install and disassemble, and will not add any additional burden to the headlight 100.

[0043] In one embodiment, the lampshade 2 is fastened to the lamp housing 1 by bolts, and a sealing strip is further provided at the connection position between the lamp housing 1 and the lampshade 2 to seal the installation space.

[0044] It can be understood that the use of bolts ensures a firm connection between the lampshade 2 and the lamp housing 1, preventing loosening or falling off due to vibration or impact during driving. The reliability of this fixation improves the overall stability and safety of the car lamp 100; furthermore, the provision of the sealing strip can effectively seal the connection position between the lamp housing 1 and the lampshade 2, preventing external dust, water vapor, dirt, etc. from entering the installation space, which not only protects the internal lighting component 3, but also extends the service life of the car lamp 100. In addition, the sealing effect of the sealing strip makes the car lamp 100 have good waterproof and dustproof properties, and can keep the interior dry and clean even when driving in the rain or on muddy roads, which helps to ensure the normal operation and optical performance of the car lamp 100; in addition, the sealing strip can reduce the transmission of wind noise and vibration noise, and improve driving comfort. Especially when driving at high speeds, good sealing can effectively reduce the impact of external noise on the car interior.

[0045] In one embodiment, a first connection position is formed on the side of the lamp housing 1 facing the lampshade 2, and a second connection position is formed on the side of the lampshade 2 facing the lamp housing 1.

[0046] It can be understood that the snap-fit ​​design of the sealing groove 11 and the sealing ridge 22 further ensures a tight seal between the lamp housing 1 and the lampshade 2, more effectively preventing external dust, water vapor, dirt, etc. from entering the installation space. This sealing improves the waterproof and dustproof performance of the vehicle lamp 100 and extends the service life of the vehicle lamp 100. Furthermore, the design of the sealing groove 11 and the sealing ridge 22 allows the lamp housing 1 and the lampshade 2 to be accurately positioned during installation, avoiding problems such as position deviation and improper installation. This precise positioning helps to ensure the overall structure and performance of the vehicle lamp 100. In addition, the close fit between the sealing ridge 22 and the sealing groove 11 can reduce the transmission of wind noise and vibration noise, thereby improving driving comfort. Among them, the sealing strip is filled in the snap-fit ​​gap between the sealing ridge 22 and the sealing groove 11, making the installation space more sealed and the waterproof performance stronger.

[0047] In one embodiment, a mounting frame 12 is further provided in the installation space. The mounting frame 12 is connected to the lamp housing 1 , and the lighting assembly 3 is installed on the mounting frame 12 .

[0048] It can be understood that the connection between the mounting bracket 12 and the lamp housing 1 ensures the stable installation of the lighting assembly 3. Even if the vehicle encounters bumps or vibrations during driving, the position of the lighting assembly 3 can be kept unchanged, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability. The use of the mounting bracket 12 makes the installation of the lighting assembly 3 simpler and more intuitive, reducing complex assembly steps.

[0049] Furthermore, the mounting frame 12 and the lamp housing 1 are integrally formed, which ensures a stable structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0050] The mounting frame 12 is connected, and a light source is provided on the circuit board 31, which is used to emit light; the reflective bowl 32 is connected to the mounting frame 12, and the reflective bowl 32 is used to reflect the light emitted by the light source to the lampshade 2; the thick-walled light guide 33 is provided between the reflective bowl 32 and the lampshade 2, and the light incident surface of the thick-walled light guide 33 faces the reflective bowl 32, and the light emitting surface of the thick-walled light guide 33 faces the lampshade 2.

[0051] As can be understood, by providing the reflector 32 and thick-walled light guide 33, the reflector 32 can focus and reflect light emitted by the light source in a specific direction, improving light utilization and illumination distance. By precisely designing the shape and reflectivity of the reflector 32, an ideal beam distribution can be achieved. The thick-walled light guide 33 further guides and diffuses the light, ensuring that it is evenly distributed across the entire lampshade 2, avoiding light spots and dark areas and improving the lighting effect. Furthermore, the combined design of the reflector 32 and thick-walled light guide 33 enables precise control of the light, including the angle, width, and intensity of the beam. This controllable capability enables the headlight 100 to adapt to different driving conditions and needs, improving driving safety. Furthermore, the design of the reflector 32 and thick-walled light guide 33 enhances the overall visual effect of the headlight 100, providing both strong functionality and a superior appearance.

[0052] It should be noted that the circuit board 31 , the reflective bowl 32 and the thick-walled light guide 33 can all be made from the prior art, and the light source can be an LED lamp from the prior art.

[0053] In one embodiment, a decorative frame 5 is further provided in the installation space. The decorative frame 5 is located on the side of the thick-walled light guide 33 facing the lampshade 2 , and the decorative ring is used to shield the remaining structures in the installation space except the thick-walled light guide 33 .

[0054] As can be understood, the decorative frame 5 effectively shields all other structures in the installation space, besides the thick-walled light guide 33, such as the circuit board 31, reflector 32, and mounting bracket. Furthermore, it also shields the remaining structures on the lamp housing 1, giving the vehicle lamp 100 a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance. This design prevents exposure of internal components, enhancing the overall visual quality of the product.
