Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle lighting technology, specifically to an ambient light and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Ambient lighting is a type of lighting device installed on vehicles, primarily used to create a pleasant atmosphere. It typically uses LEDs as the light source and is installed in the area of ​​the front of the vehicle to illuminate the front and enhance the overall design of the vehicle.

[0003] In the design of ambient lighting for the front of existing vehicles, a common problem is that the pattern cannot be clearly seen when the ambient light is not lit. The main reason is that the structure of the ambient light at the pattern on traditional vehicles is only a light-transmitting cover and a light-shielding plate. This combination structure makes the light at the pattern weak when the light-emitting plate is not working, so the pattern cannot be highlighted. When the light-emitting plate is lit, uneven light emission is likely to occur at the pattern, which greatly reduces its decorative effect.

[0004] To achieve a clearer display of vehicle headlight patterns, there is an urgent need in the market for an innovative solution that can address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an ambient light that can more clearly display the headlight pattern and a vehicle using the ambient light.

[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An ambient light, comprising:

[0008] Base;

[0009] A light-transmitting cover is fitted onto the base;

[0010] A light-shielding plate is connected to the light-transmitting cover. The light-shielding plate has a patterned opening that extends through the light-shielding plate.

[0011] An electroplated layer is disposed on the light-shielding plate, and the electroplated layer includes a patterned layer and a non-patterned layer. The patterned layer is exposed through the patterned opening and faces the light-transmitting cover, and the non-patterned layer is spaced apart from the light-transmitting cover via the light-shielding plate.

[0012] A light-emitting panel is mounted on the base, with the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting panel facing the electroplated layer.

[0013] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting cover and the light-shielding plate are integrally formed.

[0014] In one embodiment, the electroplated layer is disposed on the side of the light-shielding plate opposite to the light-transmitting cover and is integrally formed with the light-shielding plate.

[0015] In one embodiment, the patterned layer is disposed within the pattern opening and is flush with the pattern opening, and the non-patterned layer is disposed around the patterned layer and abuts against the light-shielding plate.

[0016] In one embodiment, the non-patterned layer has a different color than the patterned layer.

[0017] In one embodiment, the patterned layer and the side of the light-transmitting cover facing the patterned layer abut against each other.

[0018] In one embodiment, a light-diffusing plate is further included, which is disposed between the light-emitting plate and the light-shielding plate.

[0019] In one embodiment, the light-shielding plate has a light-shielding surface facing the light-transmitting cover, and the light-shielding surface gradually slopes towards the center of the light-transmitting cover to form an arc surface.

[0020] In one embodiment, the contact area between the patterned layer and the non-patterned layer is provided with an abutment wall. The area of ​​the abutment wall gradually decreases from near the light-shielding plate to near the light-transmitting cover, thereby creating an inclination and forming an oblique angle. The angle of the oblique angle is between 0 and 30°.

[0021] This embodiment also provides a vehicle that includes ambient lighting as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can ensure that the pattern layer can be clearly seen through the light-transmitting cover regardless of whether the light-emitting panel is emitting light or not; when the light-emitting panel is not working, the pattern layer itself has certain reflective or semi-transparent properties, which allows the pattern layer to be displayed through the light-transmitting cover under natural light or ambient light, presenting a clear pattern effect; when the light-emitting panel is working, the light emitted by it illuminates the pattern layer, and the non-pattern layer blocks part of the light from the light-emitting panel, so that the pattern layer exposed through the pattern opening can be illuminated by light and highlighted by the non-pattern layer, so that the pattern layer can be emitted outward from the light-transmitting cover with a more vivid and clear pattern.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides an ambient light 100, which includes: a base 110, a light-transmitting cover 111, a light-shielding plate 112, an electroplated layer 113, and a light-emitting plate 114; wherein, the light-transmitting cover 111 is assembled on the base 110, the light-shielding plate 112 is located on the light-transmitting cover 111, and the light-shielding plate 112 is provided with a patterned opening 11a, the patterned opening 11a being disposed through the light-shielding plate 112; the electroplated layer 113 is disposed on the light-shielding plate 112, and the electroplated layer 113 includes a patterned layer 1111 and a non-patterned layer 1112, the patterned layer 1111 being disposed through the light-shielding plate 112; Patterned opening 11a is exposed through light shield 112 and faces light transmittance 111. Non-patterned layer 1112 is separated from light transmittance 111 by light shield 112. Light-emitting plate 114 is mounted on base 110, and the light-emitting surface of light-emitting plate 114 faces electroplating layer 113. Patterned layer 1111 is displayed through light transmittance 111 by electroplating layer 113 when light-emitting plate 114 is not lit, and patterned layer 1111 is illuminated and displayed through light transmittance 111 by electroplating layer 113 when light-emitting plate 114 is lit.

[0033] Preferably, the light-transmitting cover 111 and the light-shielding plate 112 are integrally formed. This design combines two originally separate components (the light-transmitting cover 111 and the light-shielding plate 112) into an inseparable whole through an electroplating process. During manufacturing, a prototype of the light-transmitting cover 111 and the light-shielding plate 112 integrally formed is first created, featuring a patterned opening 11a on the light-shielding plate 112. Then, a metal layer is applied to the light-shielding plate 112 inside the light-transmitting cover 111 using an electroplating process. This metal layer simultaneously forms the patterned layer 1111 on the light-shielding plate 112 and the surrounding non-patterned layer 1112. Due to the presence of the electroplated layer 113, the light-transmitting cover 111 and the light-shielding plate 112 are separated. The connection becomes seamless and robust, avoiding the assembly complexity and loosening issues that may arise from traditional split structures. This one-piece design not only simplifies the manufacturing process of the lamp and reduces assembly steps, but also enhances the stability and aesthetics of the overall structure. Since the light-transmitting cover 111 and the light-shielding plate 112 are tightly integrated without obvious seams or gaps, the appearance of the lamp is more concise and streamlined. In other embodiments, the light-shielding plate 112 can also be set as a separate structure from the light-transmitting cover 111, and fixedly connected to the light-transmitting cover 111 by the electroplating layer 113. This structure is applied to other models of ambient lights 100 and is not limited here.

[0034] Preferably, the electroplated layer 113 is disposed on the side of the light shield 112 opposite to the light-transmitting cover 111 and is integrally formed with the light shield 111. It is understood that the electroplated layer has a smooth and uniform surface, which helps to improve the clarity of the mapped pattern layer 1111. And since the electroplated layer 113 and the light shield 112 are integrally formed, the risk of weak connection or separation due to shaking during long-term riding use caused by traditional bonding or welding methods is avoided, resulting in unclear mapping of the pattern layer 1111.

[0035] Specifically, the ambient light 100 in this embodiment is designed to combine a base 110, a light-transmitting cover 111, a light-shielding plate 112, an electroplating layer 113, and a light-emitting plate 114. The base 110 serves as the basic structure of the entire lamp and is used to support and fix other components. A light-transmitting cover 111 is mounted on the base 110, forming the outer protective shell of the lamp and ensuring that light can be evenly propagated outwards. A light-shielding plate 112 is located inside the light-transmitting cover 111 and is located on the side of the light-transmitting cover 111 facing the light-emitting plate 114. It has a specific pattern opening 11a, which defines the outline of the desired pattern or other decorative pattern. Furthermore, an electroplated layer 113 is provided between the light-transmitting cover 111 and the light-shielding plate 112. This electroplated layer 113 has a pattern layer 1111 corresponding to the pattern opening 11a on the light-shielding plate 112. This structure of the ambient light 100 ensures that the pattern layer 1111 is clearly visible through the light-transmitting cover 111, whether the light-emitting plate 114 is off or illuminated. See; when the light-emitting panel 114 is not working, the pattern layer 1111 itself has certain reflective or semi-transparent properties, so that the pattern layer 1111 can be displayed through the light-transmitting cover 111 under natural light or ambient light, presenting a static pattern effect; once the light-emitting panel 114 is working, its light-emitting surface faces the pattern layer 1111, and the emitted light further illuminates the pattern layer 1111. Through the non-pattern layer 1112, some of the light from the light-emitting panel 114 is blocked, so that the remaining light is concentrated on the pattern layer 1111. Thus, the pattern layer 1111 exposed through the pattern opening 11a can be illuminated by light and highlighted by the non-pattern layer 1112, so that the pattern is emitted outward from the light-transmitting cover 111 with a more vivid and clear pattern.

[0036] Preferably, the pattern layer 1111 and the light-transmitting mask 111 abut against each other on the side facing the pattern layer 1111, which helps the pattern layer 1111 to project the pattern more clearly outward from the light-transmitting mask 111.

[0037] Preferably, a light-diffusing plate 115 is also included, disposed between the light-emitting plate 114 and the light-shielding plate 112. The function of this light-diffusing plate 115 is to further diffuse and homogenize the light from the light-emitting plate 114, ensuring that the light has been fully mixed and smoothed before reaching the light-shielding plate 112. Thus, when the light-emitting plate 114 is working, the light first passes through the light-diffusing plate 115, and then shines through the pattern opening 11a on the light-shielding plate 112 onto the pattern layer 1111 on the electroplated layer 113. Due to the presence of the light-diffusing plate 115, the light becomes more uniform and softer, avoiding the phenomenon of inconsistent brightness caused by uneven light source distribution. Finally, the light-transmitting cover 111 not only protects the internal components, but also acts as a diffusion medium, making the light illuminate the entire pattern more uniformly and softly, achieving a dynamic lighting effect.

[0038] Preferably, the pattern layer 1111 is disposed at the pattern opening 11a and is flush with the pattern opening 11a. The non-pattern layer 1112 is disposed around the pattern layer 1111 and abuts against the side of the light shield 112 away from the light transmittance mask 111. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the pattern opening 11a is set as a through opening through the light shield 112. By placing the pattern layer 1111 at the pattern opening 11a, the pattern opening 11a is blocked by the pattern layer 1111, and the structure of the pattern opening 11a corresponds to that of the pattern layer 1111, so that the pattern layer 1111 can be disposed at the pattern opening 11a. When the pattern opening 11a is fixed to the pattern opening 11a, and its outer end face is flush with the pattern opening, it helps to improve the mapping effect of the pattern layer, making it clearer. Furthermore, the non-pattern layer 1112 and the pattern layer 1111 have different colors. This color contrast enhances the visual effect of the pattern, making it more eye-catching and prominent regardless of whether the light-emitting plate 114 is used for illumination. When the light-emitting plate 114 is not working, the different colors of the non-pattern layer 1112 further highlight the boundaries and details of the pattern, presenting a static high-contrast pattern effect. After the light-emitting plate 114 is working, the light passes through the light-diffusing plate 115 and shines on the pattern opening 11a on the light-shielding plate 112, and then illuminates the entire pattern through the pattern layer 1111 on the electroplated layer 113. Due to the presence of the non-pattern layer 1112, even under light illumination, the pattern layer 1111 can still maintain its clarity and uniqueness through color contrast, avoiding the problem of pattern blurring caused by the same background color.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, the light-emitting plate 114 is installed on the side of the light-shielding plate 112 away from the light-transmitting cover 111, that is, on the inner side of the light-shielding plate 112, near the bottom of the base 110 of the ambient light. This arrangement allows the light emitted by the light-emitting plate 114 to first illuminate the light-diffusing plate 115, which then dilutes the light, resulting in more uniform light illuminating the pattern layer 1111. The light is then projected through the pattern opening 11a on the light-shielding plate 112 onto the outer side of the light-transmitting cover 111 and propagates outwards.

[0040] Preferably, the light-emitting plate 114 includes a substrate 1121 and a plurality of LED beads 1122. These LED beads 1122 are evenly arranged on the side of the substrate 1121 facing the light-shielding plate 112, forming a uniformly distributed light source array. The spacing between each LED bead 1122 is designed to ensure that the light can evenly illuminate the pattern opening 11a on the light-shielding plate 112. It can be understood that this uniformly distributed design allows the light to illuminate the entire pattern layer 1111 more evenly when passing through the light-shielding plate 112 and the electroplating layer 113, avoiding visual imbalance caused by local over-brightness or under-brightness.

[0041] Preferably, the light shield 112 of the ambient light 100 has a light shielding surface 1131 on the side facing the light-transmitting cover 111. The light shielding surface 1131 gradually tilts towards the light-transmitting cover 111 from the periphery to the center and forms an arc surface. This design is one of the key features of this embodiment. This design makes the space between the light shield 112 and the light-transmitting cover 111 not perpendicular, but a gradual transition area. The arc surface design on the light shield 112 affects the propagation path of light. Since the light shielding surface 1131 gradually tilts from the periphery to the center, the light will be refracted and reflected to different degrees when passing through the light shield 112, thereby dispersing more evenly. This gradual tilt angle 114a helps to reduce the direct intensity of light and also increases the number of reflections of light between the light shield 112 and the light-transmitting cover 111, further enhancing the mixing effect of light, making the light that finally passes through the light-transmitting cover 111 softer and more uniform.

[0042] Preferably, the light-shielding plate 112 of the ambient light 100 has a light-shielding surface 1131 on the side facing the light-transmitting cover 111. In particular, the electroplated layer 113 also adopts the same inclined arc surface design and is consistent with the inclined direction of the light-shielding surface 1131. This double-layer inclined arc surface design has a synergistic effect on the light propagation path. When the light passes through the patterned opening 11a on the light-shielding plate 112, it will first reach the inclined surface of the electroplated layer 113. Since the inclined direction of the electroplated layer 113 is consistent with the light-shielding surface 1131, the light undergoes multiple reflections and refractions between the two, further enhancing the mixing and diffusion effect of the light.

[0043] Preferably, the patterned layer 1111 and the non-patterned layer 1112 of the ambient light 100 are structurally designed with a contact wall 1141 at their junction. This contact wall 1141 gradually decreases in area from near the light-shielding plate 112 to near the light-transmitting cover 111, forming a slanted angle 114a, with the angle ranging from 0° to 30°. This design further optimizes the internal structure of the lamp and the light propagation path. Understandably, this design makes the transition between the patterned layer 1111 and the non-patterned layer 1112 smoother and more natural, avoiding abrupt boundaries. Furthermore, the angle of 114a, ranging from 0° to 30°, is chosen based on a comprehensive consideration of optical principles and practical application requirements. A smaller angle ensures that light passing through the contact wall 1141 does not produce obvious shadows or bright spots, while an appropriate angle enhances the layering and three-dimensionality of the pattern, making the pattern clearly visible under any lighting conditions.

[0044] Preferably, the base 110 is provided with at least two support columns 1151, each support column 1151 having a threaded hole 115a, through which a fixing screw passes. In one specific embodiment, the base 110 is designed to include three support columns 1151, each support column 1151 having a threaded hole 115a, through which a fixing screw passes to achieve a stable installation. These support columns 1151 are distributed at key locations on the base 110, providing additional structural support and mounting points, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the luminaire.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, preferably, this embodiment also provides a vehicle 300, which includes an ambient light 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. When the ambient light is applied to the vehicle 300, it can better illuminate the logo at the front of the vehicle, thereby enhancing the atmosphere and aesthetics of the vehicle 300.

[0046] It is understood that the vehicle 300 selected in this embodiment includes electric vehicles, fuel vehicles, and other types of vehicles, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] In summary, this utility model provides an ambient light and a vehicle. The structure of this ambient light ensures that the pattern layer is clearly visible through the light-transmitting cover regardless of whether the light-emitting panel is off or on. When the light-emitting panel is not working, the electroplated layer itself has certain reflective or semi-transparent properties, allowing the pattern layer to be displayed through the light-transmitting cover under natural or ambient light, presenting a static pattern effect. Once the light-emitting panel is working, its luminous surface faces the light-shielding plate, and the emitted light shines through the pattern opening on the light-shielding plate onto the pattern layer on the electroplated layer. Due to the presence of the electroplated layer, the light is further guided and enhanced, making the pattern layer appear more vivid and clear under the reflection of the light-transmitting cover.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
