[0028] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0029] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0030] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, directional terms such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" are defined relative to the orientation of the components in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts. They are used for relative description and clarification, and they may change accordingly according to changes in the orientation of the components in the drawings.

[0031] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be interpreted as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0034] The present application provides a vehicle. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application may refer to a large car, a small car, a special-purpose vehicle, or the like. For example, based on the vehicle model, the vehicle in this application may be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other vehicle models. Typically, the vehicle's headlights are fixed. When the vehicle's body tilt changes due to varying loads or road conditions, the headlight's illumination angle also changes with the vehicle's pitch, causing changes in the illumination distance and even causing glare to other vehicles on the road, affecting driving safety and comfort. When the vehicle is traveling on a highway, the headlights should be lowered to avoid glare to other vehicles. When the vehicle is traveling in mountainous areas, the headlights should be raised to achieve better lighting effects. Vehicle occupants need to adjust the headlight angle according to the vehicle's geographic location to improve driving safety and comfort.

[0035] On this basis, refer to Figure 1-Figure 7The embodiment of the present application also provides a lighting structure 100 for a vehicle. The lighting structure 100 for a vehicle includes a lighting module 10. The lighting module 10 can be a headlight module for a vehicle. The lighting module 10 includes a light-emitting component and a module protective cover 11. The light-emitting component can include a lamp bead, a bulb or an LED lamp (light-emitting diode). LED is a semiconductor device that can convert electrical energy into light energy. LED lamps have the characteristics of high efficiency, long life, and environmental protection. The light-emitting component can also be a halogen lamp, a xenon lamp, and a laser lamp. Users can replace different light-emitting components later according to their own choices. Preferably, the light-emitting component is an LED lamp. LED lamps have the characteristics of high brightness, low energy consumption, and long life. They can form a variety of lighting modes according to different design requirements, such as high beam, low beam, etc.; and they also have the characteristics of energy saving, long service life, and fast response.

[0036] The module protection cover 11 is arranged above the light-emitting component. The module protection cover 11 can be a protection plate. The protection plate can be covered above the light-emitting component to protect the light-emitting component. It can also block the light emitted by the light-emitting component to a certain extent, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting component is concentrated.

[0037] The vehicle lighting structure 100 further includes a dimming assembly 20, which is connected to the lighting module 10 and is used to adjust the angle of the lighting module 10. Optionally, the dimming assembly 20 can be connected to the left or right side of the lighting module 10. For example, the dimming assembly 20 can include an adjustment rod connected to the lighting module 10 and a knob that can control the rotation of the adjustment rod. A user can rotate the knob to move the adjustment rod, and when the adjustment rod moves, the light module 10 can rotate to achieve the purpose of adjusting the light module 10.

[0038] The user usually adjusts the angle of the light module 10 at night or in the evening, when the brightness of the external environment is low. In addition, the vehicle's light module 10 is a headlight, which is buried deep under the front hood. When the user needs to adjust the angle of the light module 10, it is not easy to observe the position of the dimming component 20; furthermore, when the user adjusts the angle of the light module 10, it is necessary to open the light module 10 so that the user can observe in real time whether the angle of the light module 10 is adjusted in place. Based on this, in the present application, an opening 111 is provided above the module protective cover 11, and the light of the light-emitting component can be emitted onto the dimming component 20 through the opening 111. The user can see the position of the dimming component 20 by using the light emitted by the light-emitting component. Adjusting the position of the light module 10 through the dimming component 20 will not cause damage to the light module 10 and can also provide convenience for the user.

[0039] When the vehicle needs to travel on a highway or in a mountainous area, the passenger can first open the lighting module 10, then open the front hood, and use external tools to cooperate with the dimming component 20 so that the dimming component 20 drives the lighting module 10 to rotate during adjustment, thereby adjusting the angle of the lighting module 10.

[0040] The lighting structure 100 for a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a lighting module 10 and a dimming component 20. The dimming component 20 is connected to the lighting module 10. An opening 111 is opened on the module protective cover 11. The light of the light-emitting part can be emitted to the dimming component 20 through the opening 111. The occupants can use the light through the dimming component 20 to adjust the angle of the lighting module 10 to avoid blind adjustment, which provides convenience for the occupants.

[0041] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the dimming assembly 20 includes a dimming screw 21 and a dimming nut 22 that cooperate with each other. The dimming nut 22 is adapted to cooperate with an external tool to adjust the angle of the lighting module 10. The external tool rotates the dimming nut 22, which drives the dimming screw 21 along its axial direction, thereby driving the lighting module 10 to move up, down, left, and right to achieve angle adjustment. For example, the external tool can be a Phillips screwdriver.

[0042] The angle of the lighting module 10 is adjusted by cooperating with the dimming screw 21 and the dimming nut 22 , which saves effort, is easy for users to use, and has high reliability.

[0043] The dimming nut 22 is a structural component with external threads, and the dimming screw 21 is a rod with internal threads. The dimming nut 22 can be screwed into the dimming screw 21 and threadedly engaged with the dimming screw 21; the dimming screw 21 can be directly fixed to the lighting module 10, or connected to the lighting module 10 via a bracket. The design of the dimming nut 22 allows it to be matched with an external tool, so that the user can rotate the dimming nut 22 to adjust the angle of the lighting module 10. When the dimming nut 22 is turned, the dimming nut 22 drives the dimming screw 21 to rotate, which is used to drive the angle of the lighting module 10.

[0044] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the opening 111 is arranged adjacent to the dimming screw 21, which can reduce the propagation distance of the light emitted by the light-emitting component to increase the brightness of the light irradiated on the dimming screw 21. When the user uses external tools to adapt to the dimming nut 22, it can save the user's time and avoid excessive eye strain.

[0045] Reference Figure 3-Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the dimming nut 22 is tilted toward the lighting module 10 to facilitate the user to adapt the dimming nut 22 through external tools.

[0046] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the dimming component 20 further includes a dimming bracket 23, which is connected to the dimming screw 21. The dimming bracket 23 is located away from the dimming screw 21 and connected to the lighting module 10. When the user needs to adjust the angle of the lighting module 10, an external tool is inserted into the dimming nut 22. The user rotates the external tool to drive the dimming nut 22 to rotate. When the dimming nut 22 rotates, the dimming screw 21 can be driven to rotate. When the dimming screw 21 rotates, the dimming bracket 23 can be driven to rotate. When the dimming bracket 23 rotates, the lighting module 10 can be driven to rotate in the up, down, left, and right directions, that is, the angle of the lighting module 10 can be adjusted.

[0047] Through the force transmission effect of the dimming nut 22 , the dimming screw 21 and the dimming bracket 23 , the user can save effort in adjusting the angle of the lighting module 10 .

[0048] In addition, the dimming bracket 23 can be a dimming plate. When the light emitted by the light-emitting component propagates to the dimming bracket 23, the dimming bracket 23 can block the light so that the light is concentrated on the dimming screw 21, further improving the brightness of the dimming component 20.

[0049] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the dimming nut 22 is an integrally formed light diffuser, or the dimming screw 21 is an integrally formed light diffuser, or both the dimming nut 22 and the dimming screw 21 are integrally formed light diffusers.

[0050] The dimming nut 22 is an integrally formed light diffuser; and / or the dimming screw 21 is an integrally formed light diffuser, which can enable the dimming nut 22 and / or the dimming screw 21 to have the functions of guiding and equalizing light, and can further increase the brightness of the dimming nut 22 and / or the dimming screw 21.

[0051] For example, light diffusion material is added to the dimming nut 22 and / or the dimming screw 21. The light diffusion material is mainly used to control and adjust the direction and intensity of light emitted by the light source to achieve a uniform distribution effect; light diffusion materials include polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, etc.

[0052] For another example, a layer of coating can be applied on the outer peripheral side of the dimming nut 22 and / or the dimming screw 21 to achieve the purpose of light uniformity; a layer of optical film can also be coated on the outer peripheral side of the dimming nut 22 and / or the dimming screw 21, and the optical film includes a diffusion film, a brightening film, a prism film, etc. These optical films can achieve the effect of light uniformity through different structural designs.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the dimming nut 22 is an integrally formed plastic part, or the dimming screw 21 is an integrally formed plastic part, or both the dimming nut 22 and the dimming screw 21 are integrally formed plastic parts.

[0054] The dimming nut 22 is an integrally molded plastic part; and / or, the dimming screw 21 is an integrally molded plastic part, which can simplify the processing technology of the dimming nut 22 and the dimming screw 21, and can also provide the structural strength of the dimming nut 22 and the dimming screw 21, thereby reducing the processing cost of the dimming nut 22 and the dimming screw 21.

[0055] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of openings 111 are provided, and the plurality of openings 111 can further increase the brightness of the light emitted by the light-emitting element and transmitted to the dimming component 20. For example, the plurality of openings 111 can be arranged at intervals along the front-to-back direction, or can be arranged at intervals along the left-to-right direction.

[0056] The plurality of openings 111 may be disposed adjacent to the dimming assembly 20, that is, the plurality of openings 111 may be disposed adjacent to the dimming screw 21. For example, the openings 111 may be circular holes, bar-shaped holes, or square holes.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the lighting module 10 further includes a module fixing bracket 12, which is used to fix the light-emitting component and the module protective cover 11. The dimming assembly 20 is connected to the module fixing bracket 12, and the module fixing bracket 12 is used to fix the light-emitting component and the module protective cover 11 in the front cabin of the vehicle. For example, the module fixing bracket 12 can be composed of multiple grille bars, wherein some grille bars extend in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the remaining grille bars extend in the horizontal direction of the vehicle, and adjacent grille bars are arranged at intervals, which can reduce the weight of the module fixing bracket 12.

[0058] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle lighting structure 100 further includes a fixed baffle located in front of the opening 111 and extending above the lighting module 10. By extending the fixed baffle above the lighting module 10, the light emitted by the light-emitting element can be shielded from being transmitted to other functional modules, thereby preventing the light from the light-emitting element from affecting other functional modules.

[0059] For example, the lighting structure 100 for a vehicle further includes a module ring frame, which decorates the lighting module 10 .

[0060] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, comprising: the above-mentioned lighting structure 100 for a vehicle.

[0061] A vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application includes the lighting structure 100 for a vehicle provided in any one of the embodiments of the above aspect, and therefore has the same technical effect, that is, an opening 111 is opened on the module protection cover 11, and the light of the light-emitting part can be emitted to the dimming component 20 through the opening 111. The occupants can use the light to adjust the angle of the lighting module 10 through the dimming component 20 to avoid blind adjustment, thereby providing convenience for the occupants.
