In the actual application of the present application, it is not limited to this.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 3-6 The embodiment provides a thick-walled part 100 of a vehicle lamp, which comprises a lens 110, a substrate 111, a light guide body 112 and an LED lamp bead 113. The lens 110 is used for reflecting and refracting light 100a to improve the light intensity of the light 100a. In the embodiment, the lens 110 has a light inlet 111a, the side of the substrate 111 facing the lens 110 is designed as a plane, the LED lamp bead 113 is installed on the side of the substrate 111 facing the lens 110, and the light guide body 112 is arranged between the substrate 111 and the lens 110. The light guide body 112 guides the light 100a emitted by the LED lamp bead 113, so that the light 100a of the LED lamp bead 113 is concentrated and enters the light inlet 111a, and is emitted outward from the other side of the lens 110.

[0036] When the shape of the vehicle lamp shell is a special shape or an arc structure, the traditional thick-walled part design often adopts a stepped structure for adaptation, which makes the PCB need to be designed to match the structure of the thick-walled part. The thick-walled part is usually designed in two structures. One is to make a PCBA by bonding a stepped aluminum plate part with an FPC soft plate as shown in Figure 1 , and the other is to make a PCBA by bonding a stepped aluminum plate part with an FPC soft plate as shown in Figure 2 , and the other is to make a PCBA by bonding a stepped aluminum plate part with an FPC soft plate as shown in Figure 2 In these two ways, the first way increases the design complexity of the PCB, resulting in manufacturing cost, and the second way causes the height of the thick-walled part lens 110 to be too high, resulting in a heavy product and high material cost.

[0037] According to the above scheme, it can be understood that the embodiment uses the light guide body 112 to guide the light 100a emitted by the LED lamp bead 113, so that the light 100a can be concentrated and guided by the light guide body 112 and then enter the lens 110 from the light inlet 111a of the lens 110, and then be reflected and refracted by the lens 110 to improve the intensity of the light 100a, and then be emitted from the other side of the lens 110. The structure is optimized, and in the case of increasing the light guide of the light guide body 112 to the light 100a of the LED lamp bead 113, the substrate 111 is designed as a plane at least towards one side of the lens 110, thereby simplifying the design difficulty of the PCB and reducing the design and production cost of the thick wall part.

The light 100a of the LED lamp bead 113 is guided by the light guide column 2111. It can be understood that the light guide column 2111 is designed as a cylindrical structure, and the two ends of the light guide column 2111 are aligned with the light inlet 111a and the front surface of the LED lamp bead 113 respectively, so as to conduct the light 100a of the LED lamp bead 113.

[0040] Preferably, any LED lamp bead 113 is spaced from the corresponding light inlet 111a to form a light guide distance, and any light guide distance is equal to the length of a corresponding light guide column 2111. It can be understood that the embodiment is designed to make any light guide distance equal to the length of a corresponding light guide column 2111, so that one end of the light guide column 2111 is arranged in a gap with the LED lamp bead 113, so that the LED lamp bead 113 can concentrate the light 100a from one end of the light guide column 2111 into the light guide column 2111, and the other end of the light guide column 2111 is arranged in a gap with the light inlet 111a, so that the light 100a is concentrated from the other end of the light guide column 2111 into the light inlet 111a and enters the inside of the lens 110 from the light inlet 111a.

[0041] Preferably, the light inlet 111a is provided in plurality, and the number of light guide columns 2111 is equal to the number of LED lamp beads 113 and light inlets 111a.

[0042] Illustratively, the number of light guide columns 2111 in the embodiment is set to 28, and the number of light guide columns 2111 is set to 28, and the number of LED lamp beads 113 and light inlets 111a is set to 28.

[0043] It can be understood that each light guide column 2111 corresponds to one LED lamp bead 113 and one light inlet 111a, which can make the light rays 100a of each LED lamp bead 113 have corresponding light guide columns 2111 for light guiding, thereby improving the light guiding efficiency and avoiding light waste.

[0044] Preferably, the plurality of light inlets 111a are arranged in a symmetrical structure around the first axis a1 perpendicular to the center of the lens 110 in the first direction, the plurality of light inlets 111a are arranged in a symmetrical structure around the second axis a2 perpendicular to the center of the lens 110 in the second direction, and the plurality of light inlets 111a are away from the substrate 111 along the second direction from both ends of the lens 110 to the center of the lens 110. It can be understood that the first direction and the second direction are designed to be perpendicular to each other in this embodiment. The structure of the plurality of light inlets 111a is a stepped structure, and the light inlets 111a of the stepped structure are not equal in any adjacent light guide distance, and the light guide distance near the center of the lens 110 is greater than the light guide distance away from the center of the lens 110. This structure is adapted to the lamp shell of the vehicle lamp, and the light rays 100a emitted from the lens 110 can match the arc-shaped shell structure of the lamp shell by designing the lens 110 as an arc-shaped structure, and the efficiency of each light guide column 2111 conducting the light rays 100a of the LED lamp bead 113 is maintained at a consistent and high level.

[0045] Preferably, the lens 110 is provided with a light outlet mirror surface 1111 for the light rays 100a to be emitted outward, and the light outlet mirror surface 1111 is arranged on the side of the lens 110 away from the light inlet 111a. It can be understood that the light rays 100a of the LED lamp bead 113 are reflected and refracted in the lens 110 after entering the lens 110 through the light inlet 111a, and then emitted outward from the light outlet mirror surface 1111. In this embodiment, the light outlet mirror surface 1111 is designed as a structure composed of a plurality of block-shaped reflecting mirror surfaces to improve the light outlet effect of the light outlet mirror surface 1111.

[0046] Preferably, the light guide body 112 further comprises a support plate 2112 arranged between any two adjacent light guide columns 2111 and fixedly connected with the corresponding light guide columns 2111 on both sides. It can be understood that the purpose of designing the support plate 2112 is to make the structure of the light guide column 2111 more firm, thereby improving the anti-shock and anti-pressure effect.

[0048] Preferably, the light inlet 111a is provided with a light transmission groove 311a, and the light transmission groove 311a is designed to better accommodate and guide the light rays 100a, so as to facilitate the light rays 100a to be concentrated and enter the inside of the lens 110 from the light inlet 111a, and the light transmission groove 311a is provided with an arc-shaped lens 3121, and the convex surface of the arc-shaped lens 3121 faces the outside of the light inlet 111a, and this design can effectively refract and focus the light rays 100a after entering the lens 110, so as to improve the utilization rate of light and the irradiation effect.
