[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the enclosure light assembly of this utility model embodiment includes an enclosure 1 and a light fixture 2.

[0029] The enclosure 1 is light-transmitting and includes an enclosure body 11 and an outer decorative layer 12, the outer decorative layer 12 covering the outer surface of the enclosure body 11. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the panel body 11 can be formed by processing a light-transmitting material. For example, the material of the panel body 11 can be transparent plastic, and the panel body 11 can be integrally formed by injection molding.

[0030] The outer surface of the enclosure body 11 can be regarded as the surface of the enclosure body 11 facing outward. The outer layer 12 can also be formed by processing a translucent material, and the outer layer 12 can be laid flat on the outer surface of the enclosure body 11 by spraying, bonding or other methods.

[0031] The light fixture 2 is located on the inner side of the panel body 11, and the light fixture 2 is used to generate ambient light that passes through the panel body 11 and the outer trim layer 12. For example, the light fixture 2 can be a light strip, LED light or other lighting device. The inner side of the panel body 11 can be the side of the panel body 11 facing the interior of the vehicle. The light fixture 2 can be installed on the inner side of the panel body 11. The installation method can be screw fixing, clip fixing or the like.

[0032] When in use, the lamp 2 can be turned on. At this time, the light generated by the lamp 2 can pass through the enclosure body 11 and the outer layer 12, thereby creating an ambient light effect on the enclosure 1.

[0033] The enclosure light assembly of this utility model enables the vehicle to have an ambient lighting function, which improves the user experience. Since the light fixture 2 is hidden inside the enclosure 1, it avoids the situation where the light fixture 2 protrudes from the surface of the enclosure 1, ensuring the overall appearance and improving the overall feel of the vehicle.

[0034] Secondly, when the rear light 2 is not lit, the exterior of the panel 1 is consistent with the ordinary panel 1, thus ensuring the integrity of the whole vehicle. When the rear light 2 is lit, the light generated can pass through the panel 1, thus creating ambient lighting or even animation effects.

[0035] In addition, the outer layer 12 can enhance the appearance of the enclosure 1, and since the enclosure body 11 and the outer layer 12 are different media, they can also enhance the atmosphere created by the ambient light.

[0036] In some embodiments, the outer coating layer 12 is a translucent paint or a film. For example, the outer coating layer 12 can be a translucent paint, specifically a nano-level translucent paint, which can be directly sprayed onto the outer surface of the panel body 11 during processing.

[0037] When in use, the light generated by lamp 2 can pass through the translucent paint evenly, and the translucent paint not only ensures the integrity of the body, but also ensures the light transmission of the back.

[0038] In some other embodiments, the outer trim layer 12 can also be a film. For example, the film can be formed on the outside of the body panel 11 using IMD technology, and the color of the film can be selectively adjusted and determined according to actual needs. The film can uniformly transmit the light generated by the rear lights 2, ensuring not only the integration with the vehicle body but also the light transmittance of the back.

[0039] In some embodiments, the panel body 11 is made of polycarbonate, also known as PC material. This satisfies both the aesthetic and decorative requirements and the need for light transmission.

[0040] In some embodiments, the luminaire 2 includes a matrix lamp 21. The matrix lamp 21 is an LED light source arranged in a certain order. The matrix lamp 21 illuminates the area in front more directly, more widely, and more brightly, fully satisfying the effects of lighting and creating atmosphere.

[0041] Secondly, during use, the lighting of each point of the matrix light 21 can be controlled to achieve animation display, different pattern display, dynamic effect, color display, etc., thereby fully meeting the needs of creating different atmospheres.

[0042] In some embodiments, the lamp 2 includes a grid plate 22, which is disposed between the lamp 2 and the enclosure body 11. The grid plate 22 has a plurality of through holes 221. The matrix lamp 21 includes a plurality of lamp beads, which are respectively assembled in the plurality of through holes 221.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the grid plate 22 can be generally rectangular. The grid plate 22 can be installed on the front side of the lamp 2. The grid plate 22 can have multiple through holes 221 extending through it along the front-to-back direction, and these through holes 221 can be arranged in a matrix. The matrix lamp 21 can include multiple LEDs arranged in a matrix, and the arrangement of the through holes 221 can be the same as the arrangement of the LEDs. During assembly, the LEDs can be inserted one-to-one into the through holes 221, thereby allowing the grid plate 22 to separate and position the LEDs.

[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of through holes 221 are arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns, each row including a plurality of through holes 221 spaced apart along the horizontal direction, and each column including a plurality of through holes 221 spaced apart along the vertical direction. For example, as Figure 2 As shown, each row of through holes 221 may include multiple through holes 221 arranged at equal intervals along the left-right direction, and each column of through holes 221 may include multiple through holes 221 arranged at equal intervals along the up-down direction. This fully meets the needs of lighting and creating different atmospheres.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the through hole 221 is a square hole. In some other embodiments, the through hole 221 can also be a round hole, a triangular hole, etc.

[0046] In some embodiments, the lamp 2 is mounted to the inside of the enclosure 1 by fasteners 3. For example, as Figure 1 As shown, the inner side of the enclosure 1 can be the rear side, and the fastener 3 can be screws, etc. The lamp 2 can be fixed to the rear side of the enclosure 1 by the fastener 3. This facilitates the installation and removal of the lamp 2, and also facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance.

[0047] In some embodiments, the lamp 2 includes a lamp body and a decorative panel, the decorative panel being disposed between the lamp body and the surrounding panel body 11, the decorative panel having a textured or grooved structure, and the lamp body being arranged opposite to the textured or grooved structure.

[0048] For example, the lamp body can be a matrix lamp, a light bulb, or other self-illuminating device. The decorative panel can be made of transparent material and can have textures, grooves, or other structures on its outer surface (front surface) facing the main body 11. For example, the decorative panel can have textures, which can be formed by laser engraving. When the lamp body is illuminated, the textures can form corresponding patterns, thus meeting the needs of creating an atmosphere.

[0049] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the lamp 2 is provided with a plurality of ear plates 222, the plurality of ear plates 222 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the lamp 2, and each ear plate 222 is provided with a mounting hole 2221 through which the fastener 3 passes.

[0050] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ear plate 222 can be generally a rectangular plate. The ear plate 222 can be arranged on the outer periphery of the grid plate 22 of the lamp 2 by integral injection molding, and multiple ear plates 222 can be arranged at intervals along the circumferential edge of the grid plate 22. Each ear plate 222 can be provided with a mounting hole 2221 at its center.

[0051] During assembly, the mounting hole 2221 allows fasteners 3 such as screws to pass through. The rear side of the aforementioned enclosure body 11 may be provided with a stud or other structure. Fasteners 3 passing through the ear plate 222 can be threaded into the corresponding stud, thereby facilitating the installation and fixing of the lamp 2 and ensuring the overall stability of the enclosure 1.
