[0039] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle lighting assembly 100 in this embodiment of the application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the middle lens mounting part 10.

[0041] The vehicle lighting assembly 100 in this embodiment includes a lens mounting portion 10, a decorative frame 20, and a decorative element 30. The lens mounting portion 10 has a mounting body 102, on which a relatively protruding mounting shell 101 is provided. The mounting shell 101 has a mounting chamber 101a, into which a lens can be assembled. The lens mounting portion 10 is generally square, and the mounting shell 101 is located at one end of the lens mounting portion 10. In this embodiment, the mounting shell 101 is used for mounting the headlights of a vehicle. Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the front-rear direction of the lens mounting section 10, which is also the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Of course, the vehicle lamp assembly 100 can also be installed in other locations on the vehicle for mounting lamps other than the headlights; this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. The lens mounting section 10 is also provided with multiple connecting components for assembly and connection with the vehicle body.

[0042] You can continue to refer to this. Figure 3 and Figure 4 understand, Figure 3 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the decorative frame 20; Figure 4 for Figure 3 Another structural schematic diagram of the decorative frame 20 from another perspective.

[0043] In this embodiment, the decorative frame 20 is connected to the lens mounting part 10. Compared to the vehicle body, the decorative frame 20 is closer to the outside. That is, the lens mounting part 10 is assembled to the vehicle body, and then the decorative frame 20 is installed on the lens mounting part 10. Figure 3 The diagram illustrates that the decorative frame 20 has a third connecting support 205 and a fourth connecting support 204, and the lens mounting part 10 has a first connecting support 103 and a second connecting support 104. Each connecting support is provided with a connecting hole. During assembly, the connecting holes of the first connecting support 103 and the third connecting support 205 correspond, and the connecting holes of the second connecting support 104 and the fourth connecting support 204 correspond. Then, fasteners are inserted into the corresponding set of connecting holes for connection and fixation. The decorative frame 20 decorates and protects the lens mounting part 10. The decorative frame 20 is roughly U-shaped and can surround the lower part and the left and right sides of the lens mounting part 10.

[0044] In addition, the vehicle lighting assembly 100 in this embodiment also includes a decorative element 30, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 for Figure 1 Structural schematic diagram of the decorative component 30; Figure 6 for Figure 5 Another structural schematic diagram of the decorative component 30.

[0045] Decorative component 30 serves a decorative purpose within the vehicle lighting assembly 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the assembled decorative part 30 is located slightly below the lens mounting portion 10, roughly flush with the bottom of the mounting housing 101. The decorative part 30 and the decorative frame 20 are connected in a limiting manner, and can be installed and fixed to the lens mounting portion 10 as a whole. Furthermore, the decorative frame 20 is provided with a first insertion portion 2011, the decorative part 30 is provided with a second insertion portion 3011, and the lens mounting portion 10 has an insertion hole 1021a. Figure 11 The mounting body 102 shown in the figure has a recessed portion 1021 that is recessed from front to back. The cavity of the recessed portion 1021 serves as an insertion hole 1021a. The first insertion portion 2011 and the second insertion portion 3011 are inserted into the insertion hole 1021a.

[0046] This design allows for a limiting connection between the decorative component 30, the decorative frame 20, and the lens mounting part 10, eliminating the need for screws or other fasteners and making the connection more environmentally friendly. Furthermore, the decorative component 30 is first limited to the decorative frame 20, providing the first level of limitation. Then, both the decorative component 30 and the decorative frame 20 are simultaneously inserted into the insertion hole 1021a of the lens mounting part 10 for a second level of limitation. This reduces the use of screws while providing two levels of limitation for the decorative component 30, making it less prone to loosening and ensuring a more reliable connection. The decorative component 30, decorative frame 20, and lens mounting part 10 can all be made of plastic, and the limiting connection method of these components can be understood as a snap-fit ​​connection, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 for Figure 2 An enlarged view of part A of the lens mounting section 10. It can be seen that the mounting body 102 of the lens mounting section 10 is provided with an insertion hole 1021a.

[0048] Let's look again. Figures 8 to 10 As shown, Figure 8 for Figure 3 Enlarged view of part B of the decorative frame 20; Figure 9 for Figure 8 Enlarged schematic diagram of part C in the middle; Figure 10 for Figure 6 Enlarged view of part D of the decorative component 30.

[0049] from Figure 8 , 9 It can be seen that the decorative frame 20 is provided with a first insert part 2011, from Figure 10 It can be seen that the decorative part 30 has a second insert part 3011.

[0050] Combined Figure 11 and Figure 12 understand, Figure 11 for Figure 1 Enlarged schematic diagram of part E in the middle; Figure 12 for Figure 11 Cross-sectional view along the FF direction.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first insert portion 2011 of the decorative frame 20 and the second insert portion 3011 of the decorative piece 30 are stacked together and then inserted together into the insertion hole 1021a of the lens mounting portion 10. The end of the first insert portion 2011 facing the insertion hole 1021a may have a first guide slope 20111, and the end of the second insert portion 3011 facing the insertion hole 1021a may have a second guide slope 30111. In this way, when applying force during assembly, it is easy to guide the first insert portion 2011 and the second insert portion 3011 into the insertion hole 1021a. After insertion, the hole wall of the insertion hole 1021a abuts against the first insert portion 2011 and the second insert portion 3011 to prevent the first insert portion 2011 and the second insert portion 3011 from disengaging from the insertion hole 1021a, thereby completing the second limiting of the decorative piece 30.

[0052] The limiting connection method of the decorative frame 20 and the decorative piece 30 will be described in more detail below. Specifically, the decorative frame 20 has a first limiting structure 20121 and a second limiting structure 203, and the decorative piece 30 has a third limiting structure 3012 and a fourth limiting structure 303.

[0053] like Figure 11 As shown, the insertion direction of the first insertion part 2011 and the second insertion part 3011 into the insertion hole 1021a is defined as the first direction, which is also a rearward direction. The first limiting structure 20121 and the third limiting structure 3012 are connected along the first direction, and the second limiting structure 203 and the fourth limiting structure 303 are connected along the second direction, which is opposite to the first direction and is also a forward direction. In this way, the decorative frame 20 and the decorative piece 30 are limited in both the first and second directions and cannot detach. This limiting connection method, in conjunction with the insertion connection of the first insertion part 2011 and the second insertion part 3011, makes the connection of the decorative piece 30 more reliable. Of course, the limiting connection method of the decorative frame 20 and the decorative piece 30 is not limited to this; for example, it can be an assembly limiting method in other directions.

[0054] For more details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 8As shown, the decorative frame 20 includes a frame body 202, on which a vertical plate 206 is provided. At least one first extension arm 201 extending towards the lens mounting portion 10 is provided on the top of the vertical plate 206. The vertical plate 206 facilitates the placement of the first extension arm 201 and the second extension arm described below as the second limiting structure 203. The end of the first extension arm 201 is the aforementioned first insertion portion 2011. The first extension arm 201 is a cantilever structure; one end connected to the vertical plate 206 is the root of the first extension arm 201, and the opposite end is the end of the first extension arm 201. By using the end of the cantilever structure as the first insertion portion 2011, the first insertion portion 2011 has a certain deformation capability, facilitating insertion into the insertion hole 1021a and achieving contact and limiting with the hole wall of the insertion hole 1021a.

[0055] Furthermore, the first extension arm 201 has a limiting surface facing the first insertion portion 2011, which is the aforementioned first limiting structure 20121. Specifically, the first extension arm 201 is provided with a first protrusion 2021, and the end face of the first protrusion 2021 facing the lens mounting portion 10 is the first limiting structure 20121. Alternatively, the first extension arm 201 may also have a first stepped surface facing the lens mounting portion 10 as the first limiting structure 20121. The third limiting structure 3012 of the decorative member 30 can abut against the first limiting structure 20121.

[0056] like Figure 6 , 10 As shown, the decorative component 30 includes a plate-shaped main body 302. A third extension arm 301 is provided on one side of the plate-shaped main body 302. The third extension arm 301 includes a first arm portion and a second arm portion 3013 arranged in a stepped manner. The first arm portion is a second insertion portion 3011. Similarly, the third extension arm 301 is also a cantilever structure. The second arm portion 3013 is connected to the plate-shaped main body 302. The first arm portion is the end of the third extension arm 301, which facilitates the insertion and engagement of the second insertion portion 3011 and the insertion hole 1021a.

[0057] At this time, combined Figure 11 It is understood that the second stepped surface formed between the first arm portion and the second arm portion 3013 of the third extension arm 301 is the third limiting structure 3012. The second stepped surface faces the lens mounting portion 10, and the second stepped surface can abut and limit the movement of the first limiting structure 20121. In this way, it is convenient to form the required first insertion portion 2011 and second insertion portion 3011, and at the same time, it achieves the abutment and limitation of the decorative piece 30 relative to the decorative frame 20 in the second direction. It can be understood that the third extension arm 301 can also be provided with a second protrusion to form the third limiting structure 3012.

[0058] At this time, a limiting protrusion 3021 can also be provided on the side surface of the plate-shaped main body 302 facing the first extension arm 201. After assembly, the first protrusion 2021 forming the first limiting structure 20121 is located between the limiting protrusion 3021 and the third limiting structure 3012, which is more conducive to preventing the decorative part 30 and the decorative frame 20 from separating from each other.

[0059] Let's look again. Figure 13 , 14 understand, Figure 13 for Figure 3 Enlarged schematic diagram of part G of the decorative frame 20; Figure 14 for Figure 11 Cross-sectional view along the HH direction.

[0060] Figure 13 In the decorative frame 20, the upright plate 206 is also provided with a second extension arm extending away from the lens mounting portion 10. This second extension arm is the aforementioned second limiting structure 203. Correspondingly, the plate-shaped main body 302 of the decorative piece 30 has a flange on the side opposite to the third extension arm 301, and a portion of the flange is the fourth limiting structure 303. For example... Figure 14 As shown, the second limiting structure 203 can abut against the flange to limit the movement, thereby achieving the abutment and limiting of the decorative part 30 relative to the decorative frame 20 in the first direction.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, the decorative frame 20 in this embodiment also includes a frame body 202. A reinforcing rib 207 is provided on the side of the upright plate 206 away from the lens mounting part 10. Part of the reinforcing rib 207 is connected to the upright plate 206, and part is connected to the frame body 202. This can improve the strength of the upright plate 206, so that the limiting structure provided on the upright plate 206 can be more reliably connected to the decorative part 30 and the lens mounting part 10.

[0062] This application also provides a vehicle including the vehicle lighting assembly 100 described in any of the above embodiments, which has the same technical effects as the above embodiments, and will not be described again.

[0063] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to this application without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
