Detailed Implementation

[0033] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0034] Existing taillights and side taillights typically feature bright strips, and the installation position of these strips is fixed and cannot be adjusted independently. However, after installation, misalignment can easily occur between the bright strips in the taillights and side taillights, affecting the overall aesthetics of the rear of the vehicle. To address these issues, this application provides a vehicle taillight and a vehicle, which are described in detail below.

[0035] Firstly, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application discloses a vehicle taillight, including a taillight body 1, a bright strip 2, and an adjusting member 3. The bright strip 2 is movably connected to the taillight body 1 and has an outer surface 21. The adjusting member 3 is connected to the taillight body 1 and is connected to the bright strip 2. The adjusting member 3 is used to adjust the installation height of the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2.

[0036] This vehicle taillight is applicable to various vehicle types, such as sedans, commercial vehicles, SUVs, and SUVs. It should be noted that in the following description of this embodiment, the vertical, horizontal, and rear-facing positions correspond to the vertical, rear-facing, and left-right positions of the vehicle. The vehicle taillight can be a side taillight or a taillight mounted on the tailgate, with the side taillight located on one side of the tailgate taillight along its length. The following description uses a side taillight as an example to illustrate the content of this application.

[0037] The bright strip 2 is preferably located inside the taillight body 1. The bright strip 2 can be slidably connected to the taillight body 1, or it can be rotatably connected to the taillight body 1. The outer surface 21 is specifically the outermost surface of the bright strip 2. When the bright strip 2 in the vehicle taillight is aligned with the bright strip in the adjacent vehicle taillight, specifically, the outer surfaces 21 of the two adjacent bright strips 2 are aligned. The installation height of the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2 can be the height of the outer surface 21 from the ground, or it can be the distance between the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2 and the lowest point of the vehicle along the height direction.

[0038] When adjusting the installation height of the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2 using the adjusting member 3, the installation height of the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the overall installation height of the bright strip 2. For example, when the bright strip 2 is slidably connected to the taillight body 1, the overall installation height of the bright strip 2 can be adjusted using the adjusting member 3. Alternatively, the installation height of the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2 can also be adjusted by adjusting the installation height of a portion of the bright strip 2.

[0039] In one embodiment, after the adjusting member 3 is connected to the taillight body 1, the position of the adjusting member 3 relative to the taillight body 1 can be adjusted. For example, when the adjusting member 3 is threadedly connected to the taillight body 1, the position of the adjusting member 3 relative to the taillight body 1 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting member 3. At this time, the installation height of the appearance surface 21 of the bright strip 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the adjusting member 3 relative to the taillight body 1.

[0040] In another embodiment, after the adjusting member 3 is connected to the taillight body 1, the position of the adjusting member 3 relative to the taillight body 1 is not adjustable. The adjusting member 3 itself includes a fixed part and a movable part. The position of the movable part relative to the fixed part can be adjusted. For example, the movable part is threaded or telescopically connected to the fixed part. By rotating the movable part, the position of the movable part can be adjusted. At this time, by adjusting the position of the movable part, the installation height of the appearance surface 21 of the bright strip 2 can be adjusted.

[0041] It should be noted that when adjusting the installation height of the bright strip 2's exterior surface 21 using the adjusting component 3, either manual or electric adjustment can be used.

[0042] Currently, after the taillights and side taillights are installed, if the bright strips in the side taillights are not aligned with those in the taillights, it is necessary to adjust the installation position of the entire side taillight to align the bright strips in the side taillights with those in the taillights. Adjusting the installation position of the entire side taillight is time-consuming and laborious, and it also requires sacrificing the installation quality of the side taillight housing.

[0043] In this embodiment, the bright strip 2 is movably connected to the taillight body 1, and the adjusting member 3 is connected to the taillight body 1 and the bright strip 2. The adjusting member 3 allows adjustment of the installation height of the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2, ensuring that the bright strip 2 in the vehicle taillight is aligned with the bright strips in adjacent vehicle taillights, thus maintaining the aesthetics of the rear of the vehicle. Furthermore, the adjusting member 3 allows for independent adjustment of the bright strip 2 without adjusting the installation position of the taillight body 1, making adjustment convenient and not affecting the installation quality of the taillight body 1. Additionally, the installation height of the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2 can be adjusted after the entire vehicle taillight is installed, without needing to disassemble and reassemble the entire taillight, thus avoiding damage to the vehicle taillight caused by disassembly and reassembly.

[0044] In one optional embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figures 1 to 4 The adjusting component 3 includes a main body 31 and an adjusting part 32 connected to the main body 31. The main body 31 is threadedly connected to the taillight body 1, and the adjusting part 32 is connected to the bright strip 2. When the main body 31 rotates relative to the taillight body 1, the adjusting part 32 causes the bright strip 2 to move upward or downward.

[0045] The adjusting part 32 can be directly connected to the bright strip 2, or it can be indirectly connected to the bright strip 2. The main body 31 has a threaded section, and the adjusting part 3 is preferably connected to the base 12 in the taillight body 1. In this case, the base 12 has a threaded hole, and the threaded part is threaded into the threaded hole. The main body 31 is preferably at least partially exposed outside the base 12 to facilitate rotation of the main body 31. In this embodiment, by rotating the main body 31, the bright strip 2 can be moved upward or downward, thereby adjusting the installation height of the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2. The adjustment is quick, which can shorten the adjustment time and thus improve the production cycle.

[0046] In one embodiment, the axial direction of the threaded section on the body part 31 is parallel to the height direction of the bright strip 2. At this time, when the body part 31 is rotated, the body part 31 and the adjustment part 32 move upward or downward while rotating, thereby causing the bright strip 2 to move upward or downward.

[0047] In another implementation, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The adjusting member 3 is located on one side of the bright strip 2 along the length direction of the bright strip 2, and the axial direction of the threaded section on the main body 31 is perpendicular to the height direction of the bright strip 2; a connecting member 4 is fixed on the bright strip 2, and the adjusting part 32 includes a conical surface 321, which is located on the lower side of the connecting member 4. The connecting member 4 abuts against the conical surface 321, and the axial direction of the conical surface 321 is consistent with the axial direction of the threaded section.

[0048] The length direction of bright bar 2 can be referenced. Figure 2 The direction indicated by arrow C. The connecting member 4 can be a sheet-like structure. When the main body 31 rotates, it moves along the axis of the threaded section while rotating. The adjusting part 32 also rotates and moves along the axis of the threaded section. After moving along the axis of the threaded section, the connecting member 4 moves upwards or downwards due to the conical surface 321 on its upper part. This upward or downward movement of the connecting member 4 causes the bright strip 2 to move upwards or downwards. In this embodiment, the adjusting member 3 has a simple structure and occupies less space.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 To make the bright strip 2 move upwards, the main body 31 is rotated so that it moves to the left while rotating. The adjusting part 32 also moves to the left while rotating. During this process, the conical surface 321 pushes the connecting member 4 upwards, and the upward movement of the connecting member 4 causes the bright strip 2 to move upwards. To make the bright strip 2 move downwards, the main body 31 is rotated so that it moves to the right while rotating. The adjusting part 32 also moves to the right while rotating. During this process, the connecting member 4 falls, and the falling of the connecting member 4 causes the bright strip 2 to move downwards.

[0050] Preferably, refer to Figure 4The body portion 31 may have a protruding ring 311, which is located on the side of the threaded section away from the adjusting portion 32. When the body portion 31 is rotated, it moves until the protruding ring 311 contacts the base 12 and then cannot move further, thus limiting the travel of the body portion 31. The body portion 31 may also have a groove 312, which may be a polygonal groove. The groove 312 is used to cooperate with a tool so that the tool can drive the body portion 31 to rotate.

[0051] In one optional embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 The connector 4 has a slot that engages with the conical surface 321, with the slot wall abutting against the conical surface 321. The shape of the slot can be customized according to actual needs; for example, the slot can be U-shaped or arc-shaped. In this embodiment, the slot effectively prevents the connector 4 from detaching from the conical surface 321.

[0052] In one optional embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 The bright strip 2 is rotatably connected to the taillight body 1. When the main body 31 rotates relative to the taillight body 1, the adjusting part 32 causes the bright strip 2 to rotate upwards or downwards. When the bright strip 2 rotates relative to the taillight body 1, the movement space of the bright strip 2 is small, which can avoid occupying too much space of the vehicle taillight.

[0053] In one optional embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 The bright strip 2 has a first end and a second end that are disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the bright strip 2. The outer surface 21 is located at the first end, and the second end of the bright strip 2 is rotatably connected to the taillight body 1. The adjusting member 3 is located between the first end and the second end of the bright strip 2. In this embodiment, when the bright strip 2 and the adjusting member 3 are in the above positions, it is possible to avoid affecting the outer surface 21 of the bright strip 2.

[0054] In one optional embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 The second end of the bright strip 2 is rotatably connected to the taillight body 1 via a rotating structure 5. The rotating structure 5 includes a rotating base 54 and a rotating arm 53 rotatably connected to the rotating base 54. The rotating base 54 is connected to the taillight body 1, and the rotating arm 53 is connected to the bright strip 2. The end of the rotating arm 53 near the rotating base 54 has a ball head 531, and the rotating arm 53 is rotatably connected to the rotating base 54 via the ball head 531. The rotation point in the rotating structure 5 is the connection point between the rotating arm 53 and the rotating base 54, that is, the ball head 531.

[0055] The rotating arm 53 increases the distance along the width direction of the bright strip 2 between the outer surface 21 and the rotation point in the rotating structure 5, thus increasing the rotation radius of the bright strip 2. This allows for a wider range of adjustment of the bright strip 2 even with the limited adjustment stroke of the adjusting member 3. Furthermore, the rotating arm 53, based on the lever principle, amplifies small adjustments of the adjusting member 3 into larger angle changes through a longer transmission arm, thereby enabling a wider range of adjustment of the bright strip 2 even with the limited adjustment stroke of the adjusting member 3.

[0056] In one optional embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 9 The rotating structure 5 includes a first rotating structure 51 and a second rotating structure 52. The first rotating structure 51 and the second rotating structure 52 are located at the two ends of the bright strip 2 along the length direction of the bright strip 2, respectively. The rotating arm 53 in the first rotating structure 51 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 54 about the length direction and the height direction of the bright strip 2. The rotating arm 53 in the second rotating structure 52 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 54 about the length direction of the bright strip 2.

[0057] The first rotating structure 51 is a bidirectional rotating structure, in which the rotating arm 53 can rotate up and down and left and right relative to the rotating base 54. This bidirectional rotating design allows the bright strip 2 to have more degrees of freedom during rotation. The second rotating structure 52 is a unidirectional rotating structure, in which the rotating arm 53 can rotate up and down relative to the rotating base 54. In this embodiment, by setting the first rotating structure 51 to be a bidirectional rotating structure, the deviation that may occur when the bright strip 2 rotates can be absorbed.

[0058] In one optional embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 The taillight body 1 includes a housing 11 and a base 12 connected to the housing 11. A bright strip 2 is movably connected to the base 12 and is located between the housing 11 and the base 12. In this embodiment, the bright strip 2 is located inside the taillight body 1, avoiding exposure of the bright strip 2. This prevents damage to the bright strip 2 due to collisions, scratches, etc., and also prevents external environmental factors such as rain, dust, and dirt from affecting the bright strip 2.

[0059] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including at least one of the vehicle taillights described in the first aspect. Since the vehicle includes the aforementioned taillights, it also possesses the beneficial effects of the aforementioned taillights, which will not be elaborated upon here.
