[0030] Example 1

[0031] This application provides a multifunctional corner light control system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: controller 1, lighting assembly 2, lens assembly 3, and angle adjustment assembly 4;

[0032] The lighting component 2 includes a driving module 21 and a light-emitting module 22. One end of the driving module 21 is connected to the controller 1, and the other end of the driving module 21 is connected to the light-emitting module 22. The controller 1 sends a lighting control signal to the driving module 21, and the driving module 21 receives the lighting control signal and drives the light-emitting module 22 to light up.

[0033] The lens assembly 3 includes a lens body 31 and a telescopic mechanism 32. The light source of the light-emitting module 22 faces the lens body 31. The telescopic mechanism 32 is mounted on the lens body 31 and connected to the controller 1. The light-emitting module 22 emits light towards the lens body 31, ensuring that the light source illuminates the target area evenly and effectively, resulting in good lighting effect. In addition, the controller 1 controls the movement of the telescopic mechanism 32, thereby controlling the forward and backward movement of the lens body 31, thus adjusting the illumination range and area light intensity to adapt to different lighting requirements.

[0034] The angle adjustment component 4 is connected to the controller 1. The controller 1 controls the angle of the lamp by controlling the angle adjustment component 4, which can further improve the lighting effect.

[0035] Camera 5, connected to controller 1, is used to capture images of the front of the vehicle to improve driving safety.

[0036] In this embodiment, the system also includes a heat sink 6 connected to the controller 1 for heat dissipation of the diagonal lamps. The heat sink is located at the rear end of the light-emitting module 22.

[0037] In this embodiment, the angle adjustment component 4 includes an adjustment module 41 and an electromagnetic mechanism 42. Both the controller 1 and the electromagnetic mechanism 42 are connected to the adjustment module 41. The electromagnetic mechanism 42 includes a permanent magnet 421 and electromagnetic coils 422 fixed to the permanent magnet 421. Multiple electromagnetic coils 422 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the permanent magnet 421. The permanent magnet 421 is embedded around the heat sink 6. A pivot point is located near the center of gravity in the middle of the lamp, while the permanent magnet 421 is embedded around the heat sink 6. Two opposing electromagnetic coils 422 form a group, responsible for controlling the angle in the horizontal or vertical direction. By applying repulsive forces of different magnitudes at both ends, the heat sink 6 is fixed in different spatial positions, while the pivot point remains unchanged, allowing adjustment of the illumination angle of the front lens assembly 3. By adjusting the current in the surrounding electromagnetic coils 422, the magnetic field strength generated by the coils can be controlled, thereby controlling the angle of the lamp and achieving adjustment of the illumination angle to ensure optimal lighting effect. Preferably, there are four electromagnetic coils 422, which are respectively arranged around the top, bottom, left and right sides of the heat sink to realize the control of the up, down and left and right angles of the lamp.

[0038] In this embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 32 is a rotary motor that controls the forward and backward movement of the lens body 31.

[0039] In this embodiment, the controller 1 communicates with the body domain controller 7 via a CAN bus to monitor the body status or attitude and switch between different lighting effects. In addition, the body domain controller 7 can supply power to the system, eliminating the need for a separate power supply module and reducing implementation costs.

[0040] Working principle: When the vehicle starts or the power battery of the new energy vehicle is activated, the body domain controller 7 starts to supply power to the multi-functional corner light control system, the controller 1 starts to operate normally, controls the drive module 21 to light up the light module 22, and at the same time receives the body signal to determine the current status of the vehicle.

[0041] In normal driving mode, the cornering lights are used for auxiliary lighting. At this time, the lens body 31 retracts under the drive of the rotary motor, expanding the illumination range, and the angle adjustment component 4 adjusts the lamp angle, concentrating the illumination on the area directly in front and slightly below, effectively supplementing blind spots and preventing glare for drivers in oncoming lanes. When the vehicle turns, after the steering wheel has turned a certain angle, the controller 1 receives the steering angle information and transmits it to the angle adjustment component 4 to adjust the direction of the cornering lights, illuminating the side blind spots. As the steering wheel returns to center, the cornering lights will also adjust back to their default position.

[0042] In floating mode, the corner lights switch from auxiliary lighting to underwater searchlights. Driven by a rotating motor, the lens body 31 extends forward, reducing the illumination range while increasing brightness and enhancing penetration. The angle adjustment component 4 readjusts the lamp angle, concentrating the light source directly in front of the vehicle. Simultaneously, the controller 1 activates the camera 5, transmitting images in real-time to the vehicle domain controller 1 and displaying them on the vehicle's screen. This allows the driver to observe the situation in unknown waters ahead of the vehicle, improving driving safety.

[0043] Finally, when the vehicle stops and is put into P gear, or when the vehicle is powered off and locked, the telescopic mechanism 32 and the electromagnetic mechanism 42 will automatically return to their initial default state.

[0044] It should be noted that cornering lights are primarily used to indicate the vehicle's outline and provide additional illumination to the side road when the vehicle is turning. This application improves upon cornering lights to enable vehicles to effectively illuminate the water ahead during off-road amphibious operations or urban flooding, allowing drivers to detect and avoid underwater obstacles in advance. Therefore, drivers can avoid collisions with obstacles to the vehicle's chassis and sides caused by obstructed vision, thus protecting the vehicle body from damage and improving driving safety.

[0045] In summary, the multi-functional corner light control system of this embodiment adjusts the illumination area of ​​the light through the lens assembly 3 and changes the magnetic field strength of the corner light through the electromagnetically controlled angle adjustment assembly 4, thereby adjusting the lighting angle of the lamp to adapt to the lighting needs in different scenarios. It not only has auxiliary lighting functions but also underwater detection capabilities, greatly improving the practicality and intelligence level of the lamp.
