Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive turn signal technology, and more specifically, to a side turn signal mounting structure for automobiles. Background Technology
[0002] Side turn signals are part of a vehicle's lighting and signaling system, used to communicate the driver's intention to change direction to other road users. They are typically mounted on either side of the vehicle, near the front and rear wheels, so that pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles approaching from the side can clearly see them. When the driver intends to turn or change lanes, they activate the corresponding turn signal switch, at which point the side turn signals flash to inform surrounding road users.
[0003] Compared to small cars such as sedans, some large freight trucks (such as trailers) are longer and usually have multiple side turn signals installed on both sides of the vehicle to improve warning effectiveness.
[0004] However, existing side turn signals are usually installed at an angle perpendicular to the side of the vehicle body. Since trailers are usually used for long-distance transportation and travel on more complex roads, the amplitude and frequency of bumps when trailers are traveling are relatively greater than those of cars traveling on city roads. This makes the side turn signals prone to loosening or even falling off, which seriously affects driving safety. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention provides a side turn signal mounting structure for automobiles, which aims to solve the following problem: existing side turn signals are usually installed at an angle perpendicular to the side of the vehicle body. When the vehicle is traveling with large amplitude and frequency of bumps, the side turn signal is prone to loosening or even falling off, which seriously affects driving safety.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a side turn signal mounting structure for automobiles, comprising: an outer lamp cover, the outer lamp cover including a housing first, a light-transmitting cover first disposed on the housing first, an inner lamp cover disposed inside the outer lamp cover, the inner lamp cover including a housing second, a light-transmitting cover second disposed on the housing second, a light source assembly disposed on the rear side of the light-transmitting cover second, a suspension assembly disposed on the rear side of the outer lamp cover, the suspension assembly including a rear cover plate, the rear cover plate being adapted to the housing first, and the inner lamp cover and the light source assembly being located within the cavity enclosed by the housing first and the rear cover plate;
[0007] Limiting rods are provided at the four rear corners of housing 1. The limiting rods are all inclined and the axis lines of multiple limiting rods are parallel to each other. Limiting holes are provided at the four corners of housing 2. The limiting holes are adapted to the limiting rods.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the light source assembly includes a mounting plate, with multiple LED bulbs disposed on the front side of the mounting plate, and the front side of the mounting plate is reflective. Multiple limiting holes are provided on the mounting plate, and a forward protrusion is provided on the front side of the rear cover plate. Multiple limiting rods are disposed on the protrusion, and the limiting rods are all inclined. The axis lines of the multiple limiting rods are parallel to each other, and the limiting holes are adapted to the limiting rods.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, two suspension plates are provided on the rear side of the rear cover plate. The two suspension plates are located at the top corners of the rear cover plate, and reinforcing ribs are provided at the connection between the suspension plates and the rear cover plate. Support plates are provided on both the left and right sides of the rear cover plate.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning strip is provided on the rear side of the rear cover plate. The positioning strip is semi-circular and is used to calibrate the installation angle of the side turn signal.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a wire harness bracket is provided on the rear cover plate, and a wire harness assembly is provided on the mounting plate, the wire harness assembly being adapted to the wire harness bracket.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the first light-transmitting cover protrudes forward and has a downward tilt angle, and the second light-transmitting cover is adapted to the first light-transmitting cover.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This utility model provides inclined limiting rods and matching limiting holes on the outer lamp cover, inner lamp cover, mounting plate, and rear cover, which facilitates the assembly and installation of the side turn signal while increasing the separation resistance between the components of the lamp. This significantly improves the structure and installation stability of the side turn signal, resulting in good performance and effectively ensuring vehicle driving safety.
