[0028] 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.

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.

[0030] For ease of description of the first direction, second direction, and third direction in the embodiments of this application, the first direction is the upward direction in the figures, the second direction is the left-right direction in the figures, and the third direction is the front-back direction in the figures. The y-axis arrow direction is referred to as the "upward" direction, the x-axis arrow direction as the "right" direction, and the z-axis arrow direction as the "backward" direction, but these are not the sole limitations in the actual application of this application.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides an ambient light strip 10 for installation on a vehicle 20 for ambient lighting and illumination. It includes a lamp housing 110, a light strip 111, and a cap 112. The lamp housing 110 has an axially extending mounting channel 11a inside. The light strip 111 can be installed (inserted or removed) along the mounting channel 11a inside the lamp housing 110. The light strip 111 emits light towards at least one side of the lamp housing 110, which is the first surface of the lamp housing 110, to achieve an ambient lighting effect. Furthermore, a mounting member is provided on the second surface of the lamp housing 110 for fixing with an external structural component. In this embodiment, the mounting member is integrally formed with the lamp housing 110.

[0032] In some embodiments, preferably, the mounting component includes a snap-fit ​​mounting component 113, which is used to snap-fit ​​and fix with an external structural component. The snap-fit ​​mounting component 113 protrudes outward toward the lamp housing 110, which facilitates the quick snap-fit ​​of the lamp housing 110 into the structural component of the vehicle 20 to be assembled. It can be understood that when designing this ambient lighting device, the back side of the light strip 111 is set as the second surface, so that the first surface and the second surface are opposite to each other, and the snap-fit ​​mounting component 113 is set on the second surface. The other surfaces can be used as light-emitting surfaces as needed, which is conducive to quickly completing the snap-fit ​​of the ambient light strip 10 and the structural component of the vehicle 20.

[0033] In some embodiments, preferably, the mounting component includes a threaded mounting component for threading and securing to an external structural component of the vehicle; it is understood that, as the name suggests, the threaded mounting component is installed using a fixing screw in this type of embodiment, by which the lamp housing is secured to the structural component of the assembled vehicle 20.

[0034] In some embodiments, preferably, the mounting component includes a magnetic mounting component for magnetically attaching to an external structural component; it is understood that in such embodiments, by setting the magnetic mounting component as a magnet and integrally molding the magnetic mounting component into the lamp housing, the lamp housing can be quickly and firmly attached to the structural component of the vehicle 20 by the magnetic mounting component.

[0035] Preferably, end caps 112 are installed at both ends of the lamp housing 110 to cover the installation channel 11a and ensure the stability of the lamp strip 111 within the installation channel 11a.

[0036] Based on the above solution, it is understood that this embodiment simplifies the complex assembly process of traditional light strips and light housings by designing the light strip to be inserted into or removed from the light housing along the installation channel, thus reducing installation costs and time. Furthermore, the design of the end caps at both ends of the light housing not only improves the sealing performance of the light strip but also avoids the cumbersome steps of requiring additional fixing parts in traditional designs. Moreover, the structure of the mounting parts protruding outwards from the light housing allows the light housing to be snapped into the vehicle's structural components via a plug, eliminating the need for tools. The installation process is simple and cost-effective. In addition, the product has a simple structure, requires fewer molds, and has lower production costs, which helps to meet rapidly changing market demands.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2-4As shown, according to the above scheme, optionally, in one embodiment, the light strip 111 emits light towards five sides of the lamp housing 110, including the top surface of the light strip 111 (i.e., the first surface 111a) and four of its sides. Specifically, the light strip 111 is provided with an LED light source 1111, which is used to illuminate the first surface 111a and the third surface 111c of the lamp housing 110. The first surface 111a is opposite to the LED light source 1111, and the mounting component is installed on the side of the second surface 111b away from the first surface 111a. The third surface 111c is located on one side of the first surface 111a and / or the second surface 111b. It can be understood that the third surface 111c is the four sides of the lamp housing 110, thereby achieving a multi-directional lighting effect.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, preferably, the snap-fit ​​mounting part 113 and the lamp housing 110 are integrally formed to improve the integrity and strength of the structure, making it easier to quickly snap the lamp housing 110 into the structural parts of the vehicle 20 through the snap-fit ​​mounting part 113, and to maintain the stability of the snap-fit ​​with the structural parts of the vehicle 20 through the structural strength of the integral forming, thereby improving the stability of the lamp housing 110 installation.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1-2 As shown, preferably, multiple mounting components can be configured, and multiple mounting components can be snapped together simultaneously to enhance the firmness of the snap-fit ​​on the lamp housing 110. Furthermore, multiple mounting components are arranged on the same side of the lamp housing 110, and any two adjacent mounting components are equally spaced. This structure enhances the installation stability of each part of the lamp housing 110 after it is snapped onto the structural components of the vehicle 20, and avoids the situation where the connection effect is reduced due to excessively large or small local intervals.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3-4 As shown, preferably, the snap-fit ​​mounting part 113 is inclined circumferentially from the side away from the lamp housing 110 to the side closer to the lamp housing 110. The snap-fit ​​mounting part 113 is similar to a mushroom head structure. It can be understood that in the actual installation process, by setting the inclined structure of the snap-fit ​​mounting part 113, the user only needs to accurately align the snap-fit ​​mounting part 113 with the positioning hole structure of the structural component of the vehicle 20, and gently snap it on to quickly complete the installation of the light strip 111 and the structural component. The whole process is easy and convenient.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3-4 As shown, preferably, the snap-fit ​​mounting component 113 is spaced apart from the lamp housing 110. This spaced-off structure leaves a gap, so that when the snap-fit ​​mounting component 113 snaps into the structural component of the vehicle 20, it can snap into the structural component of the vehicle 20, and the structural component of the vehicle 20 can cover the snap-fit ​​mounting component 113 and cooperate with the space at the gap to form a snap-fit ​​structure, thereby improving the connection and fixing effect.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3-4 As shown, preferably, the snap-fit ​​mounting component 113 further includes a column and a snap-fit ​​mounting part 1131. The snap-fit ​​mounting part 1131 is located at the center of the column in the height direction and is integrally formed with the column, which further enhances the stability of the structure. It can be understood that by making the snap-fit ​​mounting part 1131 integrally formed with the column, the steps of its installation or disassembly are reduced, and the structure is more robust, thereby providing stronger support.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, preferably, at least one end of the light strip 111 is provided with a wire harness 1121, and at least one end cap 112 is provided with a wire through hole 112a. The wire harness 1121 passes through the wire through hole 112a into or out of the lamp housing 110, which facilitates the wiring and connection of the power cord. It can be understood that the wire harness 1121 is used to connect the light strip 111 and the external power supply. The wire through hole 112a allows the wire harness 1121 to be electrically connected to the external power supply inside the lamp housing 110. In this embodiment, by designing the wire through hole 112a as a circle, the wire harness 1121 can be concentrated when passing through, avoiding wire tangling or loosening, which helps to improve the service life of the light strip 111.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, preferably, the lamp housing 110 is provided with a limiting groove 110a, which is provided on both sides of the mounting channel 11a, and each limiting groove 110a extends from one end of the lamp housing 110 to the other end. Optionally, in this embodiment, the limiting groove 110a is set as a curved groove bottom. By extending from one end to the other end, when it is snapped onto the structural component of the vehicle 20, the limiting groove 110a can snap onto the protruding structure on the structural component of the vehicle 20, thereby further increasing its snapping and fixing effect and preventing it from falling off.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment also provides a vehicle 20, which includes the ambient light strip 10 of any of the above embodiments; when the ambient light is applied to the vehicle 20, it can better illuminate the logo at the front of the vehicle 20, enhancing the atmosphere and aesthetics of the vehicle 20. It is understood that the vehicle 20 selected in this embodiment includes electric bicycles, electric vehicles, fuel vehicles, and other types of vehicles 20, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0046] In summary, this utility model provides an ambient light strip and vehicle lighting system. By designing the light strip to be installed within the lamp housing along the installation channel, it simplifies the complex assembly process required for traditional light strips and lamp housings, reducing installation costs and time. Furthermore, the integrated molding structure of the mounting component and the lamp housing allows the lamp housing to be snapped into external structural components without the need for tools, simplifying the installation process and reducing costs. Additionally, the product's simple structure requires fewer molds, resulting in lower production costs and helping to meet rapidly changing market demands.
