Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle lighting technology, specifically to an anti-fog rear cover based on synthetic jet, as well as vehicle lights and vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional exhaust caps or vent valves are essentially open openings. When there is negative pressure inside the lamp and in the environment, gas exchange will occur. In high temperature and high humidity environments, moisture will enter the lamp, causing the risk of fogging.
[0003] Fogging in automotive headlights has always been a common problem, accounting for a significant proportion of aftermarket parts issues. Currently, common methods include spraying anti-fogging paint inside the headlight housing and adding desiccants to prevent fogging. However, both methods have significant drawbacks. Anti-fogging paint is prone to sagging under high temperature and humidity conditions. This is because anti-fogging paint doesn't prevent fogging altogether; it works by altering the surface tension of water molecules, causing fog to form a thin film that is invisible to the naked eye. However, the fog is still present. If the anti-fogging coating's manufacturing process is inadequate or it is used for an extended period, sagging will occur. Desiccants become ineffective after absorbing water, and their deterioration rate accelerates in high humidity environments. Although replaceable desiccants are available, they degrade quickly in rainy and humid environments, requiring frequent replacements, which is inconvenient. Therefore, a long-lasting, stable device that can effectively defog headlights is needed.
[0004] Based on the principle of synthetic jet, this utility model improves the structure of the back cover by integrating a synthetic jet generator. This back cover not only solves the problem of fogging in lamps, but also optimizes the heat dissipation of the lamp cavity. Compared with traditional defogging fans, the synthetic jet generator is smaller and more compact, and has a longer service life and higher reliability. Utility Model Content

[0054] Those skilled in the art can understand this embodiment as a more specific description of Embodiment 1.
[0055] This embodiment provides an anti-fog back cover based on synthetic jet technology, which integrates a synthetic jet generator into the back cover.

[0056] The structural relationship of the composite jet back cover assembly is shown in the diagram. Figure 1 As shown, the first air inlet 5, the first cavity 6, and the first vibrating diaphragm 7 form the intake jet injector 4; the second air inlet 20, the second cavity 21, and the second vibrating diaphragm 22 form the exhaust jet injector 24; the vent cover 9 and the filter screen 8 filter foreign objects; the jet injector rear cover assembly 10 consists of the first exhaust one-way valve 2, the first intake one-way valve 3, the second exhaust one-way valve 19, the second intake one-way valve 18, the intake jet injector 4, the exhaust jet injector 24, the vent cover 9 and the filter screen 8, the spiral sealing cover 11, the intake air duct 16, and the exhaust air duct 17. The jet injector rear cover assembly 10 is fixed to the lamp body 1 by the spiral sealing cover 11, sealing the lamp body 1. A cross-sectional view of the jet injector rear cover is shown below. Figure 2 As shown.
[0057] Composite jet back cover lamp assembly diagram, as shown Figure 3 As shown, the composite jet ejector rear cover assembly 10, temperature and humidity probe 14, ECU unit 15, lamp body 1, and internal lamp components constitute the lamp assembly. The composite jet ejector rear cover assembly 10, temperature and humidity probe 14, and ECU unit 15 are all mounted on the lamp body 1. The temperature and humidity probe 14 has the function of detecting temperature and humidity both inside and outside the lamp body 1, and can monitor the temperature and humidity of the external space 12 and the internal space 13 of the lamp at all times. The ECU unit 15 contains an AD conversion module. The temperature and humidity probe 14 is used to detect the ambient temperature and humidity inside the lamp.
[0058] Working Principle: Synthetic jet control technology studies how to effectively couple microscale disturbances with macroscopic flows to achieve active control. The synthetic jet exciter consists of a vibrating diaphragm, a cavity, and an air inlet. The cavity is connected to the external fluid through the air inlet. The vibrating diaphragm periodically "blows" and draws in the fluid, forming a series of unsteady vortex rings or vortex pairs at the air inlet, which move away from the inlet. These vortex rings or vortex pairs merge as they expand outward, forming a momentum jet. Synthetic jet control technology is characterized by outputting only momentum with zero mass, hence it is also known as a zero-mass jet.
[0059] In layman's terms, it is a type of active control. A cavity is used to alternately blow and inhale, and then a stream is expelled to disrupt the original fluid state, thereby macroscopically regulating the flow field.
[0060] The synthetic jet injector can be installed on the back cover in N combinations, with N / 2 air intake and N / 2 air exhaust. The more units there are, the higher the gas exchange efficiency between the lamp and the outside. Different specifications can be made according to different lamp sizes. The larger the lamp volume, the larger N is. This method is flexible and efficient.
[0061] When the diaphragm vibrates downwards, the second exhaust check valve 19 of the lamp inner space 13 draws air into the exhaust duct 17, and the first intake check valve 3 of the lamp outer space 12 draws air into the duct 16. When the diaphragm vibrates upwards, the first exhaust check valve 2 of the lamp outer space 12 discharges air out of the lamp, and the second intake check valve 18 of the lamp inner space 13 discharges air into the lamp, maintaining negative pressure balance and completing one air cycle. This process continues as the diaphragm vibrates. This embodiment utilizes a check valve and a synthetic jet structure to form a novel air circulation structure, which is simple and reliable.
[0062] like Figure 4As shown, the ECU unit 15 is responsible for data processing and control. When the temperature and humidity probe 14 detects that the absolute humidity of the space outside the lamp 12 is greater than the absolute humidity of the space inside the lamp 13, the synthetic jet will not be triggered and will remain stationary. When the absolute humidity of the space outside the lamp 12 is detected to be less than the absolute humidity of the space inside the lamp 13, the synthetic jet will be triggered to exchange gases and dehumidify the lamp. If the headlight is working, the synthetic jet cover can also remove the heat from the space inside the lamp 13, which greatly reduces the risk of fogging and high temperature of the car lights.
[0063] This invention integrates the synthetic jet generator into the back cover, which solves the problem of fogging in the lamp and also optimizes the heat dissipation of the lamp cavity.
