[0002] With the continuous development of automobile manufacturing technology, more and more light-emitting decorative parts are used on the automobile. However, the existing automobile basically only sets a decorative lamp at a logo part, and has no other external decorative lamp. Moreover, the display effect of the external decorative lamp is single and not personalized enough. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0003] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides an external decorative lamp and a vehicle, which can customize a decorative pattern, has a simple structure and low cost, and can improve the personalization of the vehicle.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0005] An aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides an external decorative lamp, comprising: a lamp holder, used for being mounted to an outer surface of a vehicle body; a lamp cover, connected to a side of the lamp holder away from the vehicle body, and surrounding a mounting cavity together with the lamp holder; and a lamp body, mounted in the mounting cavity and having a light-emitting surface facing the lamp cover; wherein the lamp cover comprises a transparent panel, an opaque coating and a translucent coating, the opaque coating is arranged on an inner surface of the transparent panel, and the opaque coating is provided with a customized pattern, and the translucent coating covers at least the customized pattern.
[0006] The external decorative lamp provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a lamp holder, a lamp cover and a lamp body, the lamp holder and the lamp cover together surround a mounting cavity, and the lamp body is mounted in the mounting cavity. The external decorative lamp is mounted on the outer surface of the vehicle body through the lamp holder, and the light emitted by the lamp body can be transmitted through the lamp cover to irradiate outward, thereby realizing the decorative function of the external decorative lamp. The transparent panel is used as the main structure of the lamp cover, the opaque coating is arranged on the inner surface of the transparent panel, the customized pattern is arranged on the opaque coating, and the translucent coating is arranged to cover at least the customized pattern. In this way, when the lamp body is lighted, the light can be transmitted through the translucent coating covering the area where the customized pattern is located, and the customized pattern is displayed. Thus, the appearance effect of the vehicle can be improved, and the external decoration of the vehicle is more personalized. Moreover, when the lamp body is not lighted, the external decorative lamp can present an overall highlight effect under the shielding effect of the translucent coating and the opaque coating, so that the appearance effect of the vehicle is more uniform and simple.
[0007] In a possible implementation, the light transmittance of the translucent coating is greater than or equal to 40% and less than or equal to 60%.
[0008] In this way, the light transmittance of the translucent coating is not too small, so that when the lamp body is lit, the translucent coating can transmit sufficient light to ensure the display effect of the customized pattern. At the same time, the light transmittance of the translucent coating is not too large, so that when the lamp body is not lit, the translucent coating has sufficient light shielding effect to ensure the overall highlight effect of the exterior decorative lamp.
[0009] In a possible implementation, the color of the opaque coating and the color of the translucent coating are the same as the color of the vehicle body.
[0010] In this way, when the exterior decorative lamp is not lit, the exterior decorative lamp can present a highlight effect that is the same as the vehicle body, which can improve the overall and consistency of the appearance of the vehicle, and the appearance effect of the vehicle is more simple and elegant.
[0011] In a possible implementation, the lamp holder is in a strip shape, and the shape and size of the lamp cover match the shape and size of the lamp holder.
[0012] In a possible implementation, the lamp holder is mounted on a pillar of the vehicle body, and the lamp holder extends along the extension direction of the pillar.
[0013] By extending the lamp holder along the extension direction of the pillar, the occupied space of the exterior decorative lamp can be increased, and a larger area lamp cover can be designed for the exterior decorative lamp. The lamp cover has more areas to set the customized pattern, which can make the customized pattern more diverse and meet different needs of users, and the personalization of the exterior decorative effect of the vehicle is further improved.
[0014] In a possible implementation, the lamp cover further comprises a transparent finish layer, and the transparent finish layer covers the transparent outer surface.
[0015] The transparent finish layer can protect the transparent panel located thereunder and prevent the transparent panel from being scratched. In addition, the transparent finish layer can also have some functional effects, for example, the transparent finish layer is a wear-resistant paint layer, which can enhance the wear resistance of the lamp cover.
[0016] In a possible implementation, the customized pattern is a laser-engraved pattern provided on the opaque coating.
[0017] By using laser engraving to engrave the customized pattern on the opaque coating, the operation process is simple, the engraving efficiency is high, and the process can be fully automated, which can save labor costs.
[0018] In a possible implementation, the lamp body comprises: a lamp panel; and a plurality of lamp beads arranged on the side surface of the lamp panel facing the lamp cover.
[0019] By arranging multiple LED beads on the side of the lamp panel facing the lampshade, the overall illuminance range of these multiple LED beads is large, which can increase the area of the light-emitting area of the lamp body. The lamp body provides high brightness illuminance to all areas of the lampshade, allowing for arbitrary placement of customized patterns on the lampshade and ensuring the display effect of the customized patterns when the lamp body is lit.
[0020] In one possible implementation, the lamp body further includes a light diffuser plate disposed on the side of the lamp housing where the multiple lamp beads face.
[0021] By installing a light-diffusing plate on the light-emitting side of the lamp body, the plate reflects and scatters the light emitted by the LED beads, making the light emitted by the beads more uniform and resulting in a more uniform overall brightness of the lamp body. This allows for the arbitrary placement of customized patterns on the lampshade, and when the lamp body is lit, the brightness of each area of the customized pattern is uniform, resulting in a better display effect.
[0022] Another aspect of this application provides a vehicle, including a body and an exterior decorative light as described above, the exterior decorative light being mounted on the outer surface of the body.
[0023] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment includes a vehicle body and decorative lights mounted on the outer surface of the vehicle body. The decorative lights are as described above, and therefore, the vehicle has all the beneficial effects of decorative lights, which will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

[0048] As described in the background, in the related art, some vehicles have a light-emitting decoration lamp designed as a vehicle logo at the front end and the rear end, that is, a so-called light-emitting vehicle logo. Other parts of the vehicle are basically not designed with light-emitting decoration lamps, and the external decoration scheme of the vehicle is simple. Even if the vehicle has other external decoration lamps, the display effect of the external decoration lamps is relatively single, and cannot be customized according to the needs of the user, and is not personalized enough.
[0049] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides an external decorative lamp and a vehicle. The external decorative lamp comprises a lamp holder, a lamp cover and a lamp body. The lamp holder and the lamp cover jointly enclose a mounting cavity, and the lamp body is mounted in the mounting cavity. The external decorative lamp is mounted on the outer surface of the vehicle body through the lamp holder, and the light emitted by the lamp body can be transmitted through the lamp cover to irradiate outward, thereby realizing the decoration function of the external decorative lamp. The lamp cover takes a transparent panel as the main structure, an opaque coating is arranged on the inner surface of the transparent panel, a customized pattern is arranged on the opaque coating, and a translucent coating is arranged to cover at least the customized pattern. In this way, when the lamp body is lit, the light can be transmitted through the translucent coating covered by the area where the customized pattern is located, and the customized pattern is displayed. Thus, the appearance effect of the vehicle can be improved, and the external decoration of the vehicle is more personalized. Moreover, when the lamp body is not lit, the external decorative lamp can present an overall highlight effect under the shielding effect of the translucent coating and the opaque coating, so that the appearance effect of the vehicle is more uniform and simple.
[0050] Figure 1 The structure diagram of the external decorative lamp provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 The exploded structure diagram of the external decorative lamp in Figure 1 The exploded structure diagram of the external decorative lamp in
[0051] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that the embodiment of the present application provides an external decorative lamp 10, which is mounted on a vehicle, specifically on the outer surface of the vehicle body, and can play a decoration role on the appearance of the vehicle to improve the appearance effect of the vehicle.
[0052] Specifically, the external decorative lamp 10 of the embodiment comprises a lamp holder 100, a lamp cover 200 and a lamp body 300. The lamp holder 100 and the lamp cover 200 jointly enclose a mounting cavity, and the lamp body 300 is mounted in the mounting cavity. The lamp holder 100 can be mounted on the outer surface of the vehicle body to fix the decorative lamp on the outer surface of the vehicle body. The lamp cover 200 is located on the side of the lamp holder 100 away from the vehicle body, and the lamp cover 200 is buckled on the lamp holder 100 to jointly enclose the mounting cavity. The lamp body 300 located in the mounting cavity is powered to emit light. The light emitting surface of the lamp body 300 can face the lamp cover 200, and the light emitted by the lamp body 300 is transmitted through the lamp cover 200 to irradiate outward, thereby realizing the decoration effect of the external decorative lamp 10.
[0053] As for the connection mode of the lamp holder 100 and the vehicle body, the lamp holder 100 can be fixed on the vehicle body by mechanical methods such as clamping and locking, or the lamp holder 100 can be attached to the vehicle body by welding or bonding. The lamp holder 100 can be made of metal material or hard plastic material with high hardness. The lamp holder 100 has sufficient structural strength to ensure the stability and reliability of the external decorative lamp 10 as a whole.
[0054] Referring to Figure 1 or Figure 2As shown, taking the example that the lamp holder 100 is locked on the vehicle body, mounting holes 110 can be formed on the edge of the lamp holder 100, and positioning holes are formed on the corresponding position of the vehicle body, and fasteners such as bolts or screws are arranged in the mounting holes 110 of the lamp holder 100 and the positioning holes of the vehicle body, so as to lock the lamp holder 100 on the vehicle body. For example, the mounting holes 110 formed on the edge of the lamp holder 100 can be countersunk holes, and the end of the fastener such as the bolt or the screw can be hidden in the countersunk hole. In this way, not only the installation effect of the external decorative lamp 10 can be improved, but also the fastener can be avoided from being twisted from the outside, and the installation reliability of the lamp holder 100 can be improved.
[0055] For example, taking the example that the lamp holder 100 is clamped on the vehicle body, buckles or clamping holes can be arranged on the side surface of the lamp holder 100 facing the vehicle body or the edge area of the lamp holder 100, and corresponding clamping grooves or clamping protrusions are arranged on the vehicle body, and the lamp holder 100 is clamped on the vehicle body through the cooperation of the buckles and the clamping grooves or the cooperation of the clamping holes and the clamping protrusions.
[0056] The lamp cover 200 can be fixedly connected to the lamp holder 100 by clamping or bonding. For example, the edge area of the side of the lamp holder 100 facing the lamp cover 200 is attached to the edge area of the lamp cover 200, and the edge area of the lamp cover 200 is connected to the edge area of the lamp holder 100 by an adhesive. For example, the edge area of the lamp holder 100 can be provided with a stepped portion 120, and the stepped portion 120 can be used to position the lamp cover 200. The stepped portion 120 can also form a bonding surface, increase the bonding area of the lamp cover 200 and the lamp holder 100, improve the connection strength of the lamp cover 200 and the lamp holder 100, and enhance the reliability and integrity of the external decorative lamp 10.
[0057] The lamp body 300 located in the mounting cavity surrounded by the lamp holder 100 and the lamp cover 200 can be connected and fixed to the lamp holder 100. For example, the lamp body 300 is connected to the side wall of the lamp holder 100 facing the lamp cover 200, and the lamp body 300 can be connected to the lamp holder 100 by clamping, locking, bonding, welding or the like. The lamp body 300 and the lamp cover 200 can have a certain gap, so as to avoid the interference of the lamp cover 200 to the light of the lamp body 300, and facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the external decorative lamp 10. For example, the lamp body 300 can be first mounted on the lamp holder 100, and then the lamp cover 200 is connected to the lamp holder 100, and after the complete external decorative lamp 10 is assembled, the external decorative lamp 10 is mounted on the vehicle body as a whole.
[0058] In combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment, the lampshade 200 takes the transparent panel 210 as the main structure, and the inner surface of the transparent panel 210 (the side surface of the transparent panel 210 facing the lamp holder 100) is provided with a coating 220. The transparent panel 210 has sufficient structural strength to ensure the reliability and stability of the lampshade 200. In addition, the transparent panel 210 has good light transmittance and can transmit the light emitted by the lamp body 300 to realize the light-emitting function of the external decorative lamp 10. The coating 220 covering the transparent panel 210 as a whole can be opaque, and a customized pattern 2211 can be formed on the coating 220, and the area where the customized pattern 2211 is located is transparent. The light emitted by the lamp body 300 is only transmitted through the area where the customized pattern 2211 is located and then emitted outward, so that the customized pattern 2211 can be displayed when the external decorative lamp 10 is lit.
[0059] In this way, the coating 220 of the lampshade 200 can be designed according to the actual needs of the user, and the customized pattern 2211 required by the user can be formed on the coating 220. In this way, each vehicle can be personalized according to the needs of the user, and the customized pattern 2211 on the coating 220 can be customized according to the pattern shape desired by the user. The external decorative lamp 10 can be customized for each vehicle, which meets the needs of different users and makes the external decorative effect of the vehicle more personalized. In addition, the process steps of the manufacturing process of the lampshade 200 will not be increased, and the manufacturing process of the lampshade 200 is relatively simple, which will not increase the additional manufacturing cost.
[0060] As the main structure of the lampshade 200, the transparent panel 210 is made of a material with high transparency. For example, the material of the transparent panel 210 is glass, that is, the transparent panel 210 is a glass panel. Alternatively, the material of the transparent panel 210 is plastic with good light transmittance, that is, the transparent panel 210 is a plastic panel. For example, the material of the transparent panel 210 is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC).
[0061] Referring to Figure 2 As shown, for the lamp body 300 installed in the mounting cavity surrounded by the lampshade 200 and the lamp holder 100, the lamp body 300 can be provided with a lamp panel 310 as the main support structure, and a plurality of lamp beads (not shown in the figure) can be arranged on the side surface of the lamp panel 310 facing the lampshade 200. The plurality of lamp beads can emit light at the same time when the lamp body 300 is lit. The plurality of lamp beads can all be in an extinguished state when the lamp body 300 is not lit.
[0062] The overall area where the plurality of lamp beads are located constitutes the light-emitting area 301 of the lamp panel 310. The overall area occupied by all the lamp beads on the lamp panel 310 can be large to increase the proportion of the light-emitting area 301 on the lamp panel 310. For example, the edge of the light-emitting area 301 can be close to the edge of the lamp panel 310. In this way, the light-emitting area 301 of the lamp body 300 is larger, and the illumination range of the lamp body 300 can cover the entire area of the lampshade 200, and the lamp body 300 can ensure that each area of the lampshade 200 has a high brightness of illumination. In this way, no matter where the customized pattern 2211 is located on the lampshade 200, the lamp body 300 has enough light to pass through the customized pattern 2211, ensuring that the lamp body 300 has a good display effect when it is lit.
[0063] On this basis, the lamp body 300 can further include a light homogenizing panel (not shown in the figure), which can be arranged on the light-emitting side of the lamp panel 310. In other words, the light homogenizing panel can be arranged on the side of the plurality of lamp beads facing the lampshade 200. The light emitted by the plurality of lamp beads propagates to the light homogenizing panel, and through the reflection and scattering of the light homogenizing panel, the light emitted by the lamp beads becomes uniform, thereby achieving the effect of making the brightness of the lamp body 300 more uniform.
[0064] By arranging the light homogenizing panel, the brightness of the light-emitting surface of the lamp body 300 is more uniform, and the brightness variation and light spot of the light emitted by the lamp body 300 are weakened. In this way, when the lamp body 300 is lit, the light emitted by the external decorative lamp 10 can be more natural and comfortable, and more in line with the perception of the human eye to brightness. Moreover, the brightness of each part in the light-emitting area 301 of the lamp body 300 is good, meeting the requirement of arbitrarily arranging the customized pattern 2211 on the lampshade 200, and the brightness of each area of the customized pattern 2211 is uniform when the lamp body 300 is lit, and the display effect is better.
[0065] The mounting position of the external decorative lamp 10 on the vehicle body is not limited in this embodiment, and the external decorative lamp 10 can be mounted at any position in the mountable area of the vehicle body according to the requirement of the customer. The mountable area can include other areas except the areas that affect the driving and riding sight, the safety and reliability of the vehicle, etc., so as to avoid affecting the basic performance of the vehicle.
[0066] For example, the external decorative lamp 10 can be mounted on the pillar of the vehicle body, the front and rear bumpers, the outer wall of the trunk, the front and rear quarter windows, etc. The matching design of the external decorative lamp 10 can be performed according to the mounting area required by the user, including the matching design of the shape, size, structural strength and other parameters of the external decorative lamp 10.
[0067] Taking the exterior decorative light 10 as an example, which is installed on a relatively flat part of the vehicle body, the lamp holder 100 of the exterior decorative light 10 can be a relatively smooth plate-like component. Similarly, the lamp cover 200 can also be a relatively smooth plate-like component. The shape and size of the lamp cover 200 can match the shape and size of the lamp holder 100 to ensure a good fit and secure connection between the lamp cover 200 and the lamp holder 100, and to improve the sealing performance of the connection between the lamp cover 200 and the lamp holder 100. Since both the lamp cover 200 and the lamp holder 100 are relatively smooth plate-like components, the mounting cavity formed by the lamp cover 200 and the lamp holder 100 is approximately a flat cavity. Therefore, the lamp body 300 installed within the mounting cavity matches the shape of the mounting cavity, and the lamp body 300 can also be a relatively flat plate-like component.
[0068] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the exterior decorative light 10 can be elongated, and both the lamp holder 100 and the lampshade 200 can be elongated, with the shape and size of the lampshade 200 matching the shape and size of the lamp holder 100. In this case, the lamp body 300 installed within the mounting cavity formed by the lamp holder 100 and the lampshade 200 can also be elongated, with the shape and size of the lamp body 300 matching the shape and size of the mounting cavity. The lamp body 300 can occupy more space within the mounting cavity to increase its coverage area. The light emitted by the lamp body 300 provides uniform illuminance to all areas of the lampshade 200, allowing for arbitrary placement of the customized pattern 2211 on the lampshade 200. This ensures that all areas of the customized pattern 2211 have sufficient brightness when the lamp body 300 is lit, improving the display effect of the exterior decorative light 10 on the customized pattern 2211.
[0069] In some examples, the lamp holder 100 can be mounted on a pillar of the vehicle body, meaning the exterior decorative light 10 is located on a pillar. In this case, the lamp holder 100 can extend along the pillar's extension direction, and correspondingly, the lamp cover 200 can also extend along the pillar's extension direction. This increases the space occupied by the exterior decorative light 10, allowing for a larger lamp cover 200 to be designed to match it. The lamp cover 200 has more area to set custom patterns 2211, making the custom patterns 2211 more diverse and satisfying different user needs, further enhancing the personalization of the vehicle's exterior decoration effect.
[0070] For example, the exterior decorative light 10 can be located on the center pillar (B-pillar) between the front and rear doors of the vehicle. Alternatively, the exterior decorative light 10 can also be located on the front pillar (A-pillar) between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Or, the exterior decorative light 10 can also be located on the rear pillar (C-pillar) between the rear door and the rear windshield of the vehicle. Wherein, when the exterior decorative light 10 is located on the center pillar of the vehicle, the center pillar typically extends vertically along the height direction of the vehicle, and correspondingly, the exterior decorative light 10 can also extend vertically along the height direction of the vehicle.
[0071] Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of a lampshade is provided for an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of another lampshade is provided for an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 A structural schematic diagram of still another lampshade is provided for an embodiment of the present application.
[0072] With reference to Figures 3-5 According to any of the embodiments, the coating 220 provided on the transparent panel 210 of the lampshade 200 includes an opaque coating 221, which is provided on the inner surface of the transparent panel 210 (the side surface of the transparent panel 210 facing the lamp body 300), and the opaque coating 221 is provided with a customized pattern 2211. The opaque coating 221 is a light-blocking coating 220 that is completely opaque, and the customized pattern 2211 is an opening formed on the opaque coating 221. The customized pattern 2211 is formed on the opaque coating 221 by removing a local area of the opaque coating 221 according to the customized needs of a user to expose the corresponding area on the transparent panel 210.
[0073] In this way, when the lamp body 300 of the external decorative lamp 10 is lit, the light emitted by the lamp body 300 can be emitted through the area of the opaque coating 221 where the customized pattern 2211 is provided, while the other areas of the opaque coating 221 cannot transmit light. In this way, the external decorative lamp 10 will show the light effect of the customized pattern 2211, and exhibit the personalized function of the external decorative lamp 10.
[0074] For example, a laser engraving process can be used to engrave the customized pattern 2211 on the opaque coating 221. That is, the customized pattern 2211 formed on the opaque coating 221 is a laser-engraved pattern. By using laser engraving to engrave the customized pattern 2211 on the opaque coating 221, the operation process is simple, the engraving efficiency is high, and the process can be fully automated, which can save labor costs.
[0075] On this basis, the coating 220 provided on the transparent panel 210 further includes a translucent coating 222, which is also provided on the inner surface of the transparent panel 210 and covers at least the customized pattern 2211. The translucent coating 222 is a translucent coating 220 that can transmit a certain percentage of light.
[0076] The light emitted by the lamp body 300 can pass through the semi-transparent coating 222 and be emitted, so that the external decorative lamp 10 displays the customized pattern 2211. In addition, the semi-transparent coating 222 can block the customized pattern 2211 when the lamp body 300 is not lit. Under the blocking effect of the semi-transparent coating 222 and the opaque coating 221, the external decorative lamp 10 can present an overall highlight effect, so that the appearance effect of the external decorative lamp 10 is more uniform and simple.
[0077] For example, the light transmittance of the semi-transparent coating 222 can be greater than or equal to 40%, and the light transmittance of the semi-transparent coating 222 can be less than or equal to 60%. In this way, the light transmittance of the semi-transparent coating 222 is not too small, which can ensure that the semi-transparent coating 222 transmits enough light when the lamp body 300 is lit, so that the customized pattern 2211 displayed by the external decorative lamp 10 has sufficient brightness and clarity, and the light decoration effect of the external decorative lamp 10 is ensured. At the same time, the light transmittance of the semi-transparent coating 222 is not too large, which can ensure that the semi-transparent coating 222 has sufficient light blocking effect when the lamp body 300 is not lit, so that the external decorative lamp 10 can present an overall highlight effect.
[0078] For example, the light transmittance of the semi-transparent coating 222 can be 42%, 44%, 46%, 48%, 50%, 52%, 54%, 56%, 58%, etc.
[0079] In addition, the color of the opaque coating 221 and the semi-transparent coating 222 can be selected according to the color of the vehicle body. That is, the color of the opaque coating 221 and the color of the semi-transparent coating 222 can be the same as the color of the vehicle body. For example, when the vehicle body is black, the opaque coating 221 can be a black ink layer, and the semi-transparent coating 222 can be a semi-transparent black ink layer. In this way, when the external decorative lamp 10 is not lit, the external decorative lamp 10 can present a highlight effect with the same color as the vehicle body, which can improve the overall and consistency of the appearance of the vehicle, and the appearance effect of the vehicle is more simple and elegant.
[0080] Of course, the opaque coating 221 and the semi-transparent coating 222 can also be made of different colors from the vehicle body according to the needs of the user. That is, the color of the external decorative lamp 10 is different from the color of the vehicle body. For example, when the vehicle body is black, the opaque coating 221 can be a red ink layer, and the semi-transparent coating 222 can be a semi-transparent red ink layer. In this way, the vehicle can have more rich appearance colors, and the decoration effect of the external decorative lamp 10 is more personalized.
[0081] Referring to Figure 3As shown, as an embodiment, the translucent coating layer 222 can be arranged only in the area where the customized pattern 2211 is located. Alternatively, the translucent coating layer 222 can only fill the opening formed by the customized pattern 2211. In this way, the translucent coating layer 222 is located within the thickness range of the opaque coating layer 221, and the translucent coating layer 222 and the opaque coating layer 221 are arranged in the same layer, which can reduce the thickness of the coating layer on the transparent panel 210 and reduce the overall thickness of the lampshade 200. Moreover, the coverage area of the translucent coating layer 222 is small, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the lampshade 200.
[0082] Referring to Figure 4 As shown, as another embodiment, the translucent coating layer 222 can also cover the opaque coating layer 221 in the same layer. Alternatively, the translucent coating layer 222 not only fills the opening formed by the customized pattern 2211, but also covers the opaque coating layer 221 in a certain thickness. In this way, on the basis of ensuring that the area where the customized pattern 2211 is located is covered by the translucent coating layer 222, the translucent coating layer 222 is formed on the transparent panel 210, and positioning of the area where the translucent coating layer 222 is located is not required, which can improve the manufacturing efficiency of the lampshade 200.
[0083] Referring to Figure 5 As shown, taking the example of the translucent coating layer 222 covering the opaque coating layer 221 in the same layer, in some embodiments, the coating layer 220 on the lampshade 200 can also include a transparent finish layer 223 covering the outer surface of the transparent panel 210 (the side surface of the transparent panel 210 facing away from the lamp body 300). The transparent finish layer 223 can protect the transparent panel 210 located thereunder and prevent the transparent panel 210 from being scratched. In addition, the transparent finish layer 223 can also have some functional effects, for example, the transparent finish layer 223 is a wear-resistant paint layer, which can enhance the wear resistance of the lampshade 200, and especially when the external decorative lamp 10 is installed in an area where people often touch, the reliability and service life of the lampshade 200 can be improved.
[0084] Of course, for the transparent panel 210 made of glass, the glossiness of the transparent panel 210 is usually good, and the transparent finish layer 223 can also not be additionally added. Similarly, the glossiness of the transparent panel 210 made of PMMA, PC or the like is also good, and the transparent finish layer 223 can also not be additionally added. If wear resistance is required, a wear-resistant paint layer can be additionally arranged on the outer surface of the transparent panel 210 made of plastic as the transparent finish layer 223.
[0085] Figures 6-8 A manufacturing process flow chart of the lampshade provided in the embodiments of the present application is provided. Referring to Figures 6-8 As shown, the manufacturing process of the lampshade 200 in the embodiments of the present application is described below.
[0086] Specifically, referring to Figure 6 As shown in the figure, when manufacturing the lampshade 200, first, a transparent panel 210 is provided, which is for example a glass panel or a plastic panel as mentioned above. Then, an inner surface of the transparent panel 210 is coated with an opaque coating layer 221. Exemplarily, the color of the opaque coating layer 221 can be the same as the color of the vehicle body, for example, when the vehicle body is black, the opaque coating layer 221 can be a black ink layer. Of course, the color of the opaque coating layer 221 can also be different from the color of the vehicle body, which is not limited in the embodiment.
[0087] Referring to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, next, a customized pattern 2211 is formed on the opaque coating layer 221, specifically, a local area of the opaque coating layer 221 is removed, an opening is formed on the opaque coating layer 221, and the corresponding area on the transparent panel 210 is exposed. For example, a laser engraving process can be used to engrave the customized pattern 2211 on the opaque coating layer 221.
[0088] Referring to Figure 8 Then, a translucent coating layer 222 is coated on the inner surface of the transparent panel 210. The translucent coating layer 222 can only cover the area where the customized pattern 2211 is located, and the translucent coating layer 222 is arranged in the same layer as the opaque coating layer 221 in the thickness range. Alternatively, the translucent coating layer 222 can also cover the opaque coating layer 221 as a whole, and the translucent coating layer 222 not only fills the opening formed by the customized pattern 2211, but also covers the opaque coating layer 221 by a certain thickness.
[0089] Exemplarily, the color of the translucent coating layer 222 can be the same as the color of the vehicle body, for example, when the vehicle body is black, the translucent coating layer 222 can be a translucent black ink layer. Of course, the color of the translucent coating layer 222 can also be different from the color of the vehicle body, which is not limited in the embodiment.
[0090] When the lampshade 200 further includes the aforementioned transparent finish layer 223, the transparent finish layer 223 can be coated on the outer surface of the transparent panel 210 after the opaque coating layer 221 and the translucent coating layer 222 are coated on the inner surface of the transparent panel 210. Alternatively, the transparent finish layer 223 can be coated on the outer surface of the transparent panel 210 first, and then the opaque coating layer 221 and the translucent coating layer 222 are coated on the inner surface of the transparent panel 210.
