Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically a quick-installation and removal automotive fog light assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Car fog lights play a vital role in foggy weather or when visibility is very low. They provide drivers with extra illumination, enhance vehicle visibility, and ensure driving safety.

[0003] Currently, automotive fog light assemblies are typically installed by screws that mate with a mounting plate on the fog light assembly. While this screw-based method ensures stability, in practice, it hinders quick installation and removal of the fog light assembly when space is limited, increasing the difficulty and time cost of installation and maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a quick-installation and removal automotive fog light assembly to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a quick-installation and removal automotive fog light assembly, aiming to solve the problems of inconvenient installation and removal of existing automotive fog lights mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a quick-installation and disassembly type automotive fog light assembly, comprising an automotive fog light assembly body, a base adapted to the automotive fog light assembly body, and a locking mechanism for fixing the automotive fog light assembly body to the base; a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the automotive fog light assembly body;

[0007] The locking mechanism includes a fixed sleeve symmetrically fixed on the base, a locking plate slidably inserted into the fixed sleeve, and a spring disposed within the fixed sleeve and fixedly connected to the locking plate. The mounting plate is located between the locking plate and the base. In use, the mounting plate on the car fog light assembly is aligned with the position on the base and pressed down. The mounting plate presses against the locking plate. Because the side edge of the locking plate away from the mounting plate is arc-shaped, under the pressure, the locking plate moves inward into the fixed sleeve, compressing the spring. When the mounting plate moves to the appropriate position, the spring rebounds, pushing the locking plate back to its original position, firmly fixing the mounting plate between the base and the locking plate, thus completing the installation of the car fog light assembly. This installation method eliminates the need for screws, greatly saving installation time and improving installation efficiency. Installation can be easily completed even in confined spaces, solving the problem of inconvenience in confined spaces with traditional installation methods. The locking mechanism also includes a limiting groove formed at the end of the fixed sleeve away from the base and a limiting rod slidably disposed within the limiting groove. During disassembly, first slide the limiting rod towards the end closest to the spring, then press the locking plate against the spring, causing the locking plate to move into the fixing sleeve, releasing the lock on the mounting plate, allowing the entire fog light assembly to be removed from the base. The cooperation between the limiting groove and the limiting rod not only facilitates the installation of the fog light assembly but also its removal from the base, making the operation simple and convenient, and improving the ease of maintenance for the fog light assembly.

[0008] Preferably, to facilitate the movement of the locking plate into the fixing sleeve under the pressure of the mounting plate during the installation of the automotive fog light assembly, the side edge of the locking plate away from the mounting plate is arc-shaped. In use, during the installation of the automotive fog light assembly, when the mounting plate contacts the locking plate and applies pressure, the arc-shaped locking plate guides the direction of the force, making it easier to move into the fixing sleeve. Compared to a flat locking plate, the arc-shaped design significantly reduces installation resistance, allowing for easy installation without additional pressure, further improving the convenience of rapid installation.

[0009] Preferably, to prevent the mounting plate from wobbling, the base has a mounting groove that fits the mounting plate. During use, when installing the automotive fog light assembly, the mounting plate is aligned with the mounting groove. The mounting groove provides precise positioning for the mounting plate, allowing it to be accurately installed in the predetermined position, avoiding offset and misalignment during installation. Simultaneously, the tight fit between the mounting groove and the mounting plate effectively prevents wobbling, improving the stability of the automotive fog light assembly after installation and ensuring the reliability of the fog light during use.

[0010] Preferably, to ensure the mounting plate is stably positioned between the base and the locking plate, a first rubber pad is fixedly disposed inside the mounting groove to abut against the mounting plate. In use, the mounting plate is placed in the mounting groove and contacts the first rubber pad, which has good elasticity. During vehicle operation, vibrations are inevitable; the first rubber pad cushions these vibrations, reducing rigid collisions between the mounting plate and the mounting groove, and preventing the mounting plate from wobbling between the base and the locking plate. Simultaneously, the rubber pad also provides some sound insulation, reducing noise generated by vibration, further improving the stability and user experience of the automotive fog light assembly.

[0011] Preferably, to facilitate the secure installation of the base on a vehicle, the base has multiple mounting holes. In use, bolts, screws, or other fasteners can be used to secure the base to the vehicle via these mounting holes. The multiple mounting holes increase the robustness of the connection between the base and the vehicle, and compared to a single mounting hole, they better distribute the force, ensuring the base does not loosen during vehicle operation. Furthermore, this design is suitable for the installation needs of different vehicle models, improving the versatility of the automotive fog light assembly and facilitating installation on various vehicles.

[0012] Preferably, to improve the stability of the fog light assembly installation, two locking plates are hinged to the base. These two plates are symmetrically arranged along the locking plate, with the end of the locking plate furthest from the mounting plate engaging with the end of the locking plate closest to the mounting plate. In use, after installing the fog light assembly, the two locking plates are rotated around the hinge point to bring them closer to the mounting plate. The locking plates, in conjunction with the locking plate, fix the mounting plate from different directions, further restricting its movement. Even when the vehicle encounters significant vibration or bumps during driving, the locking plates prevent displacement of the mounting plate, greatly improving the stability of the fog light assembly installation and ensuring the normal operation of the fog lights.

[0013] Preferably, to reduce friction between the mounting plate and the retaining plate: a second rubber pad is fixedly connected to one end of the retaining plate near the mounting plate, and the second rubber pad abuts against the mounting plate. In use, when the retaining plate rotates and contacts the mounting plate, the second rubber pad acts as a buffer and prevents slippage. When the vehicle vibrates, the second rubber pad reduces friction between the retaining plate and the mounting plate, preventing scratches on the surface of the mounting plate, and also enhances the retaining plate's fixation effect on the mounting plate. The elasticity of the rubber pad further absorbs vibration energy, improving the stability of the automotive fog light assembly and extending its service life.

[0014] This application employs a unique locking mechanism. During installation, simply align the mounting plate on the car fog light assembly with the base and press it down. The locking plate moves into the fixing sleeve under pressure, and the spring returns to secure it, eliminating the need for screws and significantly saving installation time, especially advantageous in confined spaces. The locking mechanism's limiting groove and limiting rod work together to assist in positioning during installation. During disassembly, sliding the limiting rod towards the spring allows the locking plate to disengage from the clip, making the fog light assembly easy to remove. The simple operation reduces maintenance difficulty.

[0015] The base of this application has a mounting groove to provide precise positioning for the mounting plate, effectively preventing offset and misalignment during installation; the first rubber pad inside the mounting groove cushions vehicle vibrations with elasticity, reduces rigid impacts, and prevents the mounting plate from shaking; the hinged clamping plate of the base cooperates with the locking plate to fix the mounting plate from different directions, further enhancing stability; the second rubber pad on the clamping plate not only reduces friction and avoids scratching the mounting plate, but also absorbs vibration energy, ensuring the stable operation of the fog light assembly in all aspects.

[0016] The multiple mounting holes on the base of this application allow for the use of different connectors for fixation, meeting the installation needs of various vehicle models, improving the product's versatility, and facilitating its widespread application. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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 a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] This embodiment provides a quick-installation and removal automotive fog light assembly, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the car fog light assembly includes a car fog light assembly body 1, a base 2 adapted to the car fog light assembly body 1, and a locking mechanism 3 for fixing the car fog light assembly body 1 to the base 2; a mounting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the car fog light assembly body 1.

[0026] The locking mechanism 3 includes a fixed sleeve 31 symmetrically fixed on the base 2, a locking plate 32 slidably inserted into the fixed sleeve 31, and a spring 33 disposed in the fixed sleeve 31 and fixedly connected to the locking plate 32. The mounting plate 11 is located between the locking plate 32 and the base 2. The locking plate 32 can fix the mounting plate 11 between the base 2 and the locking plate 32, ensuring the stability of the car fog light assembly 1 and facilitating the quick installation of the car fog light assembly 1. In use, align the mounting plate 11 on the car fog light assembly 1 with the position on the base 2 and press it down. The mounting plate 11 presses against the locking plate 32. Since the side edge of the locking plate 32 away from the mounting plate 11 is arc-shaped, under the action of the pressing force, the locking plate 32 moves into the fixed sleeve 31, compressing the spring 33. When the mounting plate 11 moves to the appropriate position, the spring 33 returns, pushing the locking plate 32 to reset, thus firmly fixing the mounting plate 11 between the base 2 and the locking plate 32, thereby completing the installation of the automotive fog light assembly 1. This installation method eliminates the need for screws, greatly saving installation time and improving installation efficiency. It also allows for easy installation even in confined spaces, solving the problem of inconvenience in confined spaces associated with traditional installation methods.

[0027] The locking mechanism 3 also includes a limiting groove 34 located at the end of the fixed sleeve 31 away from the base 2, and a limiting rod 35 slidably disposed within the limiting groove 34. The cooperation between the limiting groove 34 and the limiting rod 35 facilitates both the installation and removal of the automotive fog light assembly 1 from the base 2. During removal, the limiting rod 35 is first slid towards the end closest to the spring 33, then the locking plate 32 compresses the spring 33, causing the locking plate 32 to move into the fixed sleeve 31, releasing the lock on the mounting plate 11, allowing the automotive fog light assembly 1 to be removed from the base 2. The cooperation between the limiting groove 34 and the limiting rod 35 not only facilitates the installation of the automotive fog light assembly 1 but also its removal from the base 2, making the operation simple and convenient and improving the maintenance convenience of the automotive fog light assembly.

[0028] To facilitate the movement of the locking plate 32 into the fixing sleeve 31 under the pressure of the mounting plate 11 during the installation of the automotive fog light assembly 1, the side edge of the locking plate 32 away from the mounting plate 11 is arc-shaped. In use, during the installation of the automotive fog light assembly 1, when the mounting plate 11 contacts the locking plate 32 and applies pressure, the arc-shaped locking plate 32 guides the direction of the force, making it easier to move into the fixing sleeve 31. Compared to a flat locking plate 32, the arc-shaped design significantly reduces installation resistance, allowing for easy installation without additional pressure, further improving the convenience of rapid installation.

[0029] To prevent the mounting plate 11 from wobbling, the base 2 has a mounting groove 21 that fits the mounting plate 11. During use, when installing the automotive fog light assembly 1, the mounting plate 11 is aligned with the mounting groove 21. The mounting groove 21 provides precise positioning for the mounting plate 11, ensuring it is accurately installed in the designated position and preventing offset or misalignment during installation. Simultaneously, the tight fit between the mounting groove 21 and the mounting plate 11 effectively prevents wobbling, improving the stability of the automotive fog light assembly after installation and ensuring the reliability of the fog light during use.

[0030] To facilitate the secure installation of the base 2 on a vehicle, multiple mounting holes 22 are provided on the base 2. During use, bolts, screws, or other fasteners can be used to secure the base 2 to the vehicle via these mounting holes 22. The multiple mounting holes 22 increase the robustness of the connection between the base 2 and the vehicle, and compared to a single mounting hole 22, better distribute the force, ensuring that the base 2 will not loosen during vehicle operation. Furthermore, this design is suitable for the installation needs of different vehicle models, improving the versatility of the automotive fog light assembly and facilitating installation on various vehicles.

[0031] In use, first, the base 2 is fixed to the predetermined position on the car using bolts or screws through the mounting holes 22. Then, the mounting plate 11 on the car fog light assembly 1 is aligned with the mounting groove 21 on the base 2, at which point the mounting plate 11 is initially positioned. Next, the car fog light assembly 1 is pressed down, and the mounting plate 11 presses against the locking plate 32. Since the side edge of the locking plate 32 away from the mounting plate 11 is arc-shaped, the locking plate 32 moves into the fixing sleeve 31 under the pressure, compressing the spring 33. When the mounting plate 11 is completely in the mounting groove 21 and reaches the appropriate position, the spring 33 rebounds, pushing the locking plate 32 back to its original position, and firmly fixing the mounting plate 11 between the base 2 and the locking plate 32, completing the initial installation of the car fog light assembly 1. The entire installation process is simple and quick, requiring no complicated tools or steps, and can be completed smoothly even in confined installation spaces.

[0032] Specifically, during installation, the limiting groove 34 and limiting rod 35 of the locking mechanism 3 serve to assist in positioning and prevent the locking plate 32 from excessively popping out. During installation, the limiting rod 35 is slid along the limiting groove 34, allowing the mounting plate 11 to be smoothly placed between the base 2 and the locking plate 32. After installation, the limiting rod 35 is slid to a suitable position to prevent the locking plate 32 from excessively popping out, thus limiting the mounting plate 11 and ensuring installation stability. During disassembly, the limiting rod 35 is first slid towards the end closest to the spring 33, then the locking plate 32 compresses the spring 33, causing the locking plate 32 to move into the fixing sleeve 31, releasing the lock on the mounting plate 11, allowing the automotive fog light assembly 1 to be removed from the base 2.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Unlike Embodiment 1, the vibration amplitude at the fog light assembly mounting location is greater when the car is in motion. In this situation, the connection between the mounting plate 11 and the base 2 may loosen, affecting the normal operation of the fog light. A first rubber pad 211 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 21, abutting against the mounting plate 11. During use, the mounting plate 11 is placed inside the mounting groove 21 and in contact with the first rubber pad 211, which has good elasticity. During vehicle operation, vibration is inevitable; the first rubber pad 211 can buffer these vibrations, reduce rigid collisions between the mounting plate 11 and the mounting groove 21, and prevent the mounting plate 11 from wobbling between the base 2 and the locking plate 32. Simultaneously, the rubber pad also provides some sound insulation, reducing noise generated by vibration, further improving the stability and user experience of the fog light assembly.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Unlike Embodiment 1, to improve the stability of the installation of the automotive fog light assembly 1, two clamping plates 4 are hinged to the base 2. These two clamping plates 4 are symmetrically arranged along the locking plate 32, with the end of the clamping plate 4 furthest from the mounting plate 11 and the end of the locking plate 32 closest to the mounting plate 11. The two hinged clamping plates 4 clamp the mounting plate 11 on the automotive fog light assembly 1, ensuring the stability of the installation. In use, after installing the automotive fog light assembly 1, the two clamping plates 4 are rotated around the hinge point, bringing them closer to the mounting plate 11. The clamping plates 4 cooperate with the locking plate 32 to fix the mounting plate 11 from different directions, further restricting its movement. Even when encountering significant vibrations or bumps during vehicle operation, the clamping plates 4 prevent the mounting plate 11 from shifting, greatly improving the stability of the installation of the automotive fog light assembly 1 and ensuring the normal use of the fog light.

[0037] To reduce friction between the mounting plate 11 and the retaining plate 4, a second rubber pad 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the retaining plate 4 near the mounting plate 11, and the second rubber pad 41 abuts against the mounting plate 11. During use, when the retaining plate 4 rotates and contacts the mounting plate 11, the second rubber pad 41 acts as a buffer and prevents slippage. When the vehicle vibrates, the second rubber pad 41 reduces friction between the retaining plate 4 and the mounting plate 11, preventing scratches on the surface of the mounting plate 11, and also enhances the fixing effect of the retaining plate 4 on the mounting plate 11. The elasticity of the rubber pad further absorbs vibration energy, improving the stability of the automotive fog light assembly and extending its service life.

[0038] It should be noted that many of the standard parts used in this invention are available on the market, while non-standard parts can be specially customized. The connection method used in this invention is also a very common method in the mechanical field, which the inventor will not elaborate on here.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
