Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive lighting technology, and in particular to a front reading light with a transparent window displaying the PAB status. Background Technology

[0002] Cars typically have front reading lights installed in the front roof to provide interior illumination. In existing technology, some front reading lights include a PAB (Parental Automation) status indicator. This is achieved by separately fixing a light-transmitting cover to the PAB status indicator window, and then applying techniques such as painting or IML (Intense Pulsed Metal) coating (e.g., applying a layer of semi-transparent brown ink) to the surface of the cover. This maintains a consistent color appearance for the entire front reading light when the PAB function is not activated. However, this method is not conducive to rapid assembly and has a relatively complex structure and process, resulting in higher manufacturing costs.

[0003] Therefore, further improvements are needed to the existing front reading light structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a front reading light with a transparent window to display the PAB status, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A front reading light with a transparent window displaying PAB status includes a housing and a base that are connected and fitted together. A light-transmitting indicator plate and a PAB circuit board located below the indicator plate are mounted on the upper part of the housing. An LED light emitting light towards the indicator plate is provided on the upper surface of the PAB circuit board. A panel is mounted on top of the housing. The panel includes an integrally formed light-shielding part and a light-transmitting part. The light-shielding part has an indicator window located above the indicator plate, and the light-transmitting part covers the indicator window. The surface of the indicator plate has characters for indicating the PAB functional status and a light-transmitting ink layer covering the characters. The light-transmitting ink layer has the same color as the light-shielding part.

[0007] Furthermore, the panel is a plastic part made by two-color one-piece injection molding, the light-shielding part has a first color, the light-transmitting part has a second color, and the first color is darker than the second color.

[0008] Furthermore, the material of the light-transmitting part is a colorless and transparent material.

[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the light-transmitting part at the indicator window is set to 1mm to 3mm.

[0010] Furthermore, a main control circuit board electrically connected to the PAB circuit board is provided between the housing and the base, and the main control circuit board is connected to a lighting lamp and a switch device.

[0011] Furthermore, the panel is provided with a first touch area for turning the lighting on and off and a second touch area for adjusting the lighting light. The switching device includes a first touch slider corresponding to the first touch area and a second touch slider corresponding to the second touch area. The first touch slider and the second touch slider are electrically connected to the main control circuit board, respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the housing is fitted with a light-transmitting lampshade located above the lighting lamp.

[0013] Furthermore, a light-diffusing plate is provided between the light-transmitting lampshade and the lighting lamp.

[0014] Furthermore, the main control circuit board is electrically connected to an SOS function button, an IMS life detector, and a microphone.

[0015] Furthermore, the main control circuit board is electrically connected to a hazard warning light button.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a front reading light with a transparent window to display the PAB status, which has the following advantages:

[0017] This invention utilizes a panel manufactured by two-color injection molding. The panel is formed by a light-shielding part made of opaque material and a light-transmitting part made of light-transmitting material. The light-transmitting part covers the indicator window on the light-shielding part, and the surface of the light-transmitting indicator plate is provided with a light-transmitting ink layer of the same color as the light-shielding part. Since only one panel part is needed, it is possible to achieve a consistent visual effect for the front reading light when the PAB function is not activated. This reduces the number of parts and eliminates the need for large-area post-processing of the panel, greatly reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below through detailed embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-6This embodiment provides a front reading light with a transparent window displaying PAB status, including a housing 1 and a base 2 connected together. A light-transmitting indicator plate 3 and a PAB circuit board 4 located below the light-transmitting indicator plate 3 are mounted on the upper part of the housing 1. The upper surface of the PAB circuit board 4 is provided with an LED light 41 that emits light towards the light-transmitting indicator plate 3. A panel 5 is mounted on the upper part of the housing 1. The panel 5 includes an integrally formed light-shielding part 51 and a light-transmitting part 52. The light-shielding part 51 is provided with an indicator window 511 located above the light-transmitting indicator plate 3. The light-transmitting part 52 covers the indicator window 511. The surface of the light-transmitting indicator plate 3 is provided with characters 31 for indicating the PAB functional status and a light-transmitting ink layer covering the characters 31. The light-transmitting ink layer has the same color as the light-shielding part 51. The panel, manufactured by two-color injection molding, consists of a light-shielding part made of opaque material and a light-transmitting part made of light-transmitting material. The light-transmitting part covers the indicator window on the light-shielding part, and the surface of the light-transmitting indicator plate is provided with a light-transmitting ink layer of the same color as the light-shielding part. Since only one panel part is needed, it is possible to maintain a consistent color appearance of the front reading light when the PAB function is not lit. This reduces the number of parts and eliminates the need for large-area post-processing of the panel, greatly reducing production costs.

[0028] In some specific embodiments, the panel 5 is a plastic part manufactured by two-color integral injection molding. The light-shielding part 51 has a first color, and the light-transmitting part 52 has a second color, wherein the first color is darker than the second color. The light-shielding part of the first color is prepared first, and then the light-transmitting material of the second color is covered on the light-shielding part and injection molded.

[0029] Preferably, the material of the light-transmitting part 52 is a colorless and transparent material.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, the thickness of the light-transmitting portion 52 at the indicator window 511 is set to 1 mm to 3 mm. As an example, the thickness can be set to 1.5 mm.

[0031] In some specific embodiments, the characters 31 on the light-transmitting indicator panel 3 include, but are not limited to, "ON," "OFF," "PASSENGERAIRBAG," and icons representing airbag opening or closing. As an example, the letters and icons can be painted with translucent white or red ink, the bottom surface of the indicator panel near the letters and icons is painted with translucent tan ink, the remaining bottom surface is painted with black ink, and the top surface is painted with translucent brown ink. The light-shielding portion of the panel is the corresponding brown color. In other embodiments, the specific color settings can be adjusted according to the actual product's appearance requirements and are not limited to the colors described above.

[0032] In some implementations, reference Figures 1-6 A main control circuit board 6, electrically connected to the PAB circuit board 4, is provided between the housing 1 and the base 2. The main control circuit board 6 is connected to a lighting lamp 61 and a switch device. By activating the switch device, the lighting lamp can be turned on for illumination.

[0033] In some specific implementation methods, such as Figure 2 As shown, for example, the lighting lamp 61 is an LED lamp distributed on the main control circuit board 6.

[0034] In some specific implementation methods, refer to Figures 1-6 The lighting lamp 61 is turned on or off and its brightness adjusted via touch control. Specifically, the panel 5 has a first touch area 512 for turning the lighting on and off and a second touch area 513 for adjusting the lighting light. The switching device includes a first touch slider 62 corresponding to the first touch area 512 and a second touch slider 63 corresponding to the second touch area 513. The first touch slider 62 and the second touch slider 63 are electrically connected to the main control circuit board 6. As an example, the first touch slider 62 and the second touch slider 63 can be fixedly installed on both sides of the housing 1. By touching the touch areas on the touch panel, the corresponding touch sliders generate touch signals and send them to the main control circuit board, thereby controlling the lighting lamp to turn on or off and adjusting its brightness. Specifically, the touch slider can be a capacitive touch slider, which is an existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Refer to "touch film" in CN220349579U, or choose a sliding touch switch product from XHD Xinhuida, model XHD-TP6001 sliding touch switch.

[0035] In some specific implementation methods, refer to Figures 1-6 The housing 1 is equipped with a light-transmitting lampshade 7 located above the lighting lamp 61, which can maintain the overall shape of the front reading lamp and protect the internal structure.

[0036] As an improved implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, a light-diffusing plate 8 is provided between the light-transmitting lampshade 7 and the lighting lamp 61, thereby allowing the light to be emitted more evenly. As an example, the light-diffusing plate 8 can be a PC light-diffusing plate.

[0037] Furthermore, in some implementations, references Figures 1-6 The main control circuit board 6 is electrically connected to an SOS function button 64, an IMS life detector 65, and a microphone 66. The IMS life detector and microphone are existing technology products, so they will not be described in detail.

[0038] In some implementations, reference Figures 1-6 The main control circuit board 6 is electrically connected to a hazard warning light button 67. Thus, the hazard warning light can be activated by pressing the hazard warning light button on the front reading light, simplifying the physical button layout of the vehicle's central control platform.

[0039] In some specific implementation methods, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The panel 5 has mounting holes corresponding to the hazard warning light button 67, the SOS function button 64, the IMS life detector 65, and the microphone 66, respectively.
