[0034] Existing ambient lighting includes direct ambient lighting and indirect ambient lighting, distributed on door panels, dashboards or other locations inside the vehicle. Ambient lighting is usually a single light strip, presenting a limited effect and only providing simple ambient lighting. How to better utilize the light effect of ambient lighting and create a luxurious feel for the entire vehicle interior is a problem that major OEMs urgently need to solve.

[0035] In view of this, this application provides an ambient light and a vehicle, in which the combination of the exterior trim panel and the rear illumination trim panel enables a single light source to present two light strip effects, and the light from the light source passes through the first light-transmitting part of the rear illumination trim panel to form an illumination effect, so as to realize the function of foot lighting or other space lighting, enriching the light effect of the ambient light, improving the diversity of the vehicle interior, and improving the functionality of the ambient light to meet multi-purpose applications.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The first aspect of this utility model provides an ambient light, which includes a light source 100, an outer decorative panel 200, and a backlighting panel 300. The light source 100 provides the light required for the ambient light. The outer decorative panel 200 is used to fix the light source 100, and the outer decorative panel 200 has an opening 210 for the light from the light source 100 to pass through. The backlighting panel 300 is disposed on one side of the outer decorative panel 200 and opposite to the opening 210, i.e., the backlighting panel 300 is disposed on the side of the outer decorative panel 200 with the opening 210 facing the backlighting panel 300, so that the light from the light source 100 can illuminate the backlighting panel 300 to form a light strip effect. There is a certain distance between the backlighting panel 300 and the opening 210, thereby ensuring that the light from the light source 100 can illuminate different areas on the backlighting panel 300 to form a light strip that can be observed from outside the ambient light. The backlight panel 300 includes a first back panel 310 and a second back panel 320. The first back panel 310 and the second back panel 320 extend to both sides of the opening 210. Through the combined action of the backlight panel 300 and the outer trim panel 200, the light from the light source 100 forms two light strips on the first back panel 310 and the second back panel 320, which improves the presentation effect of the ambient lighting and enhances the overall luxury of the interior.

[0037] In one embodiment, the first back panel 310 is provided with a first light-transmitting portion 311. Light passes through the first light-transmitting portion 311 and illuminates the outside of the ambient light to form an illumination effect. For example, if the ambient light is installed at the door, the light passes through the first light-transmitting portion 311 and illuminates the area below to form foot lighting; if the ambient light is installed at the passenger side, the light passes through the first light-transmitting portion 311 and illuminates the passenger side; if the ambient light is installed at the door, the light passes through the first light-transmitting portion 311 and illuminates the door storage area; the ambient light can also be installed in a suitable location inside the vehicle according to actual needs to serve both to adjust the atmosphere and provide illumination. By setting the first light-transmitting portion 311, the ambient light can both enhance the atmosphere and achieve an illumination effect, enriching the application scenarios of the ambient light.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first backplate 310 and the second backplate 320 extend to the upper and lower sides of the opening 210, respectively, thereby forming two light strips inside the vehicle. The light strips are displayed horizontally or nearly horizontally, which helps to create an overall atmosphere inside the vehicle. The light strip display effect can be varied according to the scene, thereby effectively creating an atmosphere and achieving footstep lighting, such as door opening warning, breathing mode, music rhythm, voice linkage, etc., which can be set according to actual needs.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the backlight panel 300 is formed by two-color injection molding, wherein the first light-transmitting portion 311 is a light-transmitting structure. The first light-transmitting portion 311 can be colorless and transparent to obtain good lighting effects, or the first light-transmitting portion 311 can be set with color as needed to obtain different lighting effects. The first back plate 310 and the second back plate 320 are opaque structures so that the light from the light source 100 shines on the first back plate 310 and the second back plate 320 to form a good light stripe effect.

[0040] Of course, as some alternatives, the first backplate 310 and the second backplate 320 can also be microtransparent structures.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the ambient light includes a second decorative panel 400, which is disposed on the side of the second back panel 320 away from the light source 100. There is a gap between the second decorative panel 400 and the back-illuminated decorative panel 300. The second back panel 320 is provided with a second light-transmitting part 321. The light from the light source 100 shines on the second decorative panel 400 through the second light-transmitting part 321, forming a light strip on the second decorative panel 400. The light strip can be observed through the gap between the second decorative panel 400 and the back-illuminated decorative panel 300, thereby giving the ambient light a three-layer light strip effect, enriching the display effect, enhancing the atmosphere, and meeting the needs of different scenarios.

[0042] The second trim panel 400 can be installed independently on the door or passenger side as needed for the ambient lighting installation, or it can be fixed together with the backlight trim panel 300 and then installed as a whole in the required position inside the vehicle, depending on the needs.

[0043] In one embodiment, the second light-transmitting part 321 is a colorless and transparent light-transmitting structure, so that light can better illuminate the second decorative panel 400 to form a third light strip.

[0044] Of course, as an option, the second light-transmitting part 321 can be set to a color as needed, such as blue or yellow, so that the third light strip can select different display effects as needed to create different atmospheres.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the back-illuminated panel 300 includes a connecting plate 330, with the first back plate 310 and the second back plate 320 at its two ends. The back-illuminated panel 300 has a three-section design to achieve a better light strip effect.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the angle between the first back plate 310 and the connecting plate 330 is an obtuse angle, and the angle between the second back plate 320 and the connecting plate 330 is an obtuse angle. The connecting plate 330 is arranged longitudinally, and the first back plate 310 and the second back plate 320 are arranged at an angle, so that the light stripe effect presented on the first back plate 310 extends downward and the effect presented on the second back plate 320 extends upward, reducing the interference of the light stripe and ensuring a good display effect.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the projection of the outer trim panel 200 along the opening 210 onto the connecting plate 330 in the height direction covers the connecting plate 330. The connecting plate 330 forms corners with the first back plate 310 and the second back plate 320, respectively. Since different display effects will occur at the corners due to light reflection, the outer trim panel 200 blocks the corners, so that the light strip effect seen on the appearance of the ambient light is uniform, and the messy light strip effect is avoided from affecting the visual experience.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the outer panel 200 has a three-section structure. The shape of the outer panel 200 is similar to that of the back-facing panel 300, but they face opposite directions, so that the overall appearance of the ambient light is unified and a good visual experience is obtained.

[0049] Of course, as some optional options, the exterior panel 200 can also be straight, curved, etc., to achieve different display effects.

[0050] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the light source 100 includes a light strip 110 and a bracket 120. The light strip 110 is fixed on the bracket 120. After the light strip 110 is fixed by the bracket 120, it is convenient to install the light strip 110 on other components. The bracket 120 is fixed to the outer trim panel 200 to fix the light strip 110 to the outer trim panel 200.

[0051] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the bracket 120 is provided with a second through hole 121, and the outer trim panel 200 is provided with a second welding block 230 corresponding to the through hole on the side near the light source 100. The second welding block 230 includes a second insertion part and a second abutting part. The second abutting part and the second insertion part form a step. The second insertion part is inserted into the second through hole 121, and the second abutting part abuts against the bracket 120. The second insertion part penetrates through the second through hole 121. The second welding block 230 is fixed to the bracket 120 by fusion welding, thereby fixing the outer trim panel 200 to the bracket 120. The step formed by the second abutting part and the second insertion part abuts against the bracket 120, limiting the relative position of the outer trim panel 200 and the bracket 120, and reducing the possibility of the outer trim panel 200 and the bracket 120 detaching from each other after welding.

[0052] Of course, as some alternatives, the bracket 120 and the exterior panel 200 can be fixed by means of adhesive bonding, bolt connection, etc.

[0053] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the back-illuminated panel 300 is provided with a first through hole 340, and the outer panel 200 is provided with a first welding block 220 corresponding to the first through hole 340. The first welding block 220 includes a first insertion part and a first abutting part. The first insertion part and the first abutting part form a step. The first insertion part is inserted into the first through hole 340 and passes through the first through hole 340. The first abutting part abuts against the back-illuminated panel 300. The outer panel 200 and the back-illuminated panel 300 are fixed relative to each other by fusion welding. The step formed by the first insertion part and the second abutting part abuts against the back-illuminated panel 300, which limits the position of the back-illuminated panel 300 and the outer panel 200 and reduces the occurrence of the outer panel 200 and the back-illuminated panel 300 falling off relative to each other after welding.

[0054] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first through hole 340 is disposed on the connecting plate 330, which can reduce the probability that the first through hole 340 and the first welding block 220 are visible from the appearance of the ambient light, thus ensuring the display effect of the ambient light.

[0055] Of course, as some optional methods, the exterior trim panel 200 and the rear trim panel 300 can be fixed by means of adhesive bonding, bolt connection, plug connection, or snap-fit ​​connection.

[0056] A second aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle including ambient lighting as described in any of the preceding claims. The ambient lighting can be installed in areas such as the vehicle doors, passenger side dashboard, or armrest box to achieve a good display effect as needed. The vehicle also includes a drive mechanism, vehicle body, control system, and other systems or components; please refer to existing vehicles for details, which will not be elaborated upon in this application.

[0057] The ambient light and vehicle of this utility model, through the cooperation of the outer trim panel 200, the backlight trim panel 300, and the second trim panel 400, form a three-layer light strip effect, creating a unique ambient lighting effect and producing different atmospheres according to different scenarios. The first back panel 310 is provided with a first light-transmitting part 311, enabling the ambient light to achieve its illumination effect and enriching its application scenarios. The light source 100 is fixed to the outer trim panel 200, and the outer trim panel 200 and the light source 100 are integrally fixed to the backlight trim panel 300, facilitating the assembly of the ambient light, resulting in a simple structure and low cost. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art, thus having high utilization value and practical significance.

[0058] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
