Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", and "linking" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixed connection, can be detachable connection, or integrally connected; can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection or can communicate with each other; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For a person of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] The mounting structure of the connecting assembly and the vehicle lamp in the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] In the prior art, the production process of controlling the deformation of injection molded parts and modifying the mold is mismatched to adjust the gap surface difference, which is time-consuming and costly.

[0034] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a connecting assembly configured to connect a first component and a second component, the connecting assembly comprising a connecting rod and a connecting plate; the connecting rod is connected to the second component at one end; the connecting plate is connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the second component, and the connecting plate is connected to the first component through an adjustment structure; the adjustment structure comprises a sliding slot, a connecting hole and a connecting pin, the sliding slot is arranged in one of the first component and the connecting plate, and the connecting hole is arranged in the other one of the first component and the connecting plate; the sliding slot extends along a first direction, the connecting hole extends along a second direction, and the first direction intersects the second direction; one end of the connecting pin is slidably connected to the sliding slot, and the other end of the connecting pin penetrates the connecting hole. The following will be described in detail.

[0035] Reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The connecting assembly is configured to connect the first component 10 and the second component 20, and comprises a connecting rod 40 and a connecting plate 60. The connecting rod 40 is connected to the second component 20 at one end. The connecting plate 60 is connected to the other end of the connecting rod 40 away from the second component 20, and is connected to the first component 10 through an adjusting structure 70. The adjusting structure 70 comprises a sliding slot 71, a connecting hole 72, a connecting pin 73 and a fastener 74. The sliding slot 71 is arranged on the first component 10, and the connecting hole 72 is arranged on the connecting plate 60. The sliding slot 71 extends along a first direction, and the connecting hole 72 extends along a second direction. The first direction intersects the second direction. The connecting pin 73 is slidably connected to the sliding slot 71 at one end, and is connected to the fastener 74 at the other end by penetrating the connecting hole 72, so as to press the connecting plate 60 to the first component 10.

[0036] For the convenience of description, in the following embodiments, the sliding slot 71 is arranged on the first component 10, and the connecting hole 72 is arranged on the connecting plate 60. In other embodiments, other forms of arrangement can also be used. In addition, the first direction is the Z-axis direction, and the second direction is the Y-axis direction. In the following embodiments, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. In other embodiments, the first direction and the second direction can also be arranged at other angles, not limited to this.

[0037] The sliding slot 71 extends along the Z-axis direction, and the connecting hole 72 extends along the Y-axis direction. That is, the sliding slot 71 and the connecting hole 72 are both arranged in a long strip shape, and the extension directions of the sliding slot 71 and the connecting hole 72 are perpendicular to each other. The connecting pin 73 can adjust the position along the Z-axis in the sliding slot 71 (adjust the relative position of the connecting pin 73 and the first component 10 along the Z-axis direction), and can also adjust the position along the Y-axis when the connecting pin 73 is inserted into the connecting hole 72 (adjust the relative position of the connecting pin 73 and the connecting plate 60 along the Y-axis direction). That is, through the arrangement of the extension directions of the sliding slot 71 and the connecting hole 72, the relative position between the first component 10 and the connecting plate 60 in the Y-Z plane (the connecting plate 60 is connected to the second component 20 through the connecting rod 40, that is, the relative position between the first component 10 and the second component 20 in the Y-Z plane) can be adjusted.

[0038] When the first component 10 and the second component 20 are connected, the mounting gap between the first component 10 and the second component 20 can be adjusted by adjusting the relative position of the two in the Y-Z plane, effectively improving the assembly quality and efficiency between the first component 10 and the second component 20; in actual production process, the first component 10 or the second component 20 will be deformed due to external force, its own size (the larger the size, the greater the deformation), processing technology and other factors, deformation will increase the assembly difficulty, affect the assembly quality, and even cause the first component 10 and the second component 20 cannot be assembled; the relative position of the first component 10 and the second component 20 in the Y-Z plane can be adjusted by adjusting the structure 70 to overcome the adverse effects of deformation, greatly compensate for the mold modification cost and verification period caused by deformation, and improve the convenience, efficiency, low cost, high quality and high economy of production.

[0039] When the first component 10 and the second component 20 are connected, the connecting rod 40 is connected to the second component 20 first, the first component 10 connected with the connecting pin 73 is moved towards the second component 20, until the end of the connecting pin 73 away from the first component 10 is inserted into the connecting hole 72, then the relative position of the first component 10 and the second component 20 in the Y-Z plane is adjusted, the connecting plate 60 is pressed on the first component 10 by the fastener 74 and the connecting pin 73 to determine the relative position of the first component 10 and the second component 20 in the Y-Z plane, and the assembly and installation between the first component 10 and the second component 20 are completed.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connecting pin 73 is a connecting bolt, and the fastener 74 is a nut, which realizes the connection between the first component 10 and the second component 20 through the cooperation of the nut and the connecting bolt, and the operation is simple, and the first component 10 and the connecting plate 60 can be detached, which facilitates the replacement of the connecting plate 60 and the maintenance and repair in the later stage.

[0041] It should be noted that the connecting bolt and the nut can be made of stainless steel, which effectively improves the service life, and the nut is an anti-skid nut, which can ensure the reliability of the connection between the connecting bolt and the nut; in some embodiments, it can also be a pin shaft connection to realize the fastening between the connecting plate 60 and the first component 10, which is not limited to this.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that the connecting rod 40 and the connecting plate 60 can be separately arranged or integrally arranged, for example, the end of the connecting rod 40 is screwed on the connecting plate 60 through threads, or the connecting rod 40 is welded on the connecting plate 60 through welding operation, or it is integrally formed by injection molding and other processing methods, which is not limited here.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 andFigure 5 The sliding groove 71 is arranged on the first component 10, and the sliding groove 71 extends to the edge of the side wall of the first component 10 in the first direction to form a mounting opening 711; four sliding grooves 71 are arranged on the first component 10, and two mounting openings 711 are arranged on the opposite side walls of the first component 10 in the first direction.

[0044] The sliding groove 71 extends to the edge of the side wall of the first component 10 in the Z-axis direction (the first direction, the same below) to form a mounting opening 711, and the connecting pin 73 directly enters the sliding groove 71 from the mounting opening 711 to realize the mounting between the connecting pin 73 and the first component 10, which is simple in structure and effectively improves the assembly efficiency. For example, when the connecting pin 73 is a connecting bolt, the head of the connecting bolt (the connecting bolt includes a hexagonal head and a combined part connected with a nut) is clamped in the sliding groove 71 and can only move in the sliding groove 71 along the Z-axis direction, and cannot rotate around the circumference of the connecting bolt in the sliding groove 71, so that the connecting bolt cannot rotate with the nut when they are screwed together, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0045] In the embodiment, the sliding groove 71 also has four sliding grooves, which can realize multi-point connection with the connecting plate 60 and improve the stability of the connection between the first component 10 and the connecting plate 60.

[0046] At the same time, the opposite side walls of the first component 10 in the Z-axis direction are respectively provided with two mounting openings 711, that is, the mounting openings 711 of two sliding grooves 71 are opposite to the mounting openings 711 of the other two sliding grooves 71; when the connecting pin 73 inserted in the sliding groove 71 is inserted in the connecting hole 72, the sliding grooves 71 with opposite mounting openings 711 limit the connecting pin 73, so that the connecting pin 73 is not easy to fall off from the sliding groove 71.

[0047] Before the connecting plate 60 is pressed on the first component 10, the connecting plate 60 and the first component 10 are loose, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 6A. Figure 4 In the perspective view, the upper connecting pin 73 is limited by the groove bottom of the sliding groove 71 when it is slid into the bottom of the sliding groove 71 (the lower connecting pin 73 will not continue to move downward out of the sliding groove 71, and will not fall off from the sliding groove 71 due to the limitation of the connecting hole 72), and the lower connecting pin 73 will not fall off from the sliding groove 71.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the mounting openings 711 of the sliding grooves 71 are consistent in direction, the connecting pin 73 is easy to fall off from the sliding groove 71, which increases the assembly difficulty.

[0049] Referring to Figure 5, the surface of the connecting plate 60 away from the first component 10 is provided with a first scale 61 and a second scale 62, the first scale 61 extends along the first direction, and the second scale 62 extends along the second direction; the surface of the first component 10 towards the connecting plate 60 is provided with two reference bumps 11, and when the connecting hole 72 is sleeved on the connecting pin 73, the two reference bumps 11 respectively point to the first scale 61 and the second scale 62.

[0050] Through the cooperation of the reference bumps 11 and the first scale 61 and the second scale 62, the accuracy of the size adjustment in the Z-axis direction and the Y-axis direction can be realized, and the distance adjusted in each direction can be intuitively reflected, the structure is simple, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first scale 61 (the second scale 62) is a scale with a size of 0mm-2mm and a unit of 0.1mm, and in other embodiments, other specifications of scales can also be provided, and relevant settings can be made according to the adjustment requirements, which are not limited thereto.

[0052] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the connecting assembly further comprises a connecting sleeve 30 connected to the second component 20; one end of the connecting rod 40 away from the connecting plate 60 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 30; the end of the connecting rod 40 away from the connecting plate 60 is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 41 arranged in the axial direction of the connecting rod 40; the connecting sleeve 30 is provided with a clamping jaw 321 which is selectively clamped in one of the plurality of clamping grooves 41 to adjust the relative position of the first component 10 and the second component 20 in the axial direction of the connecting rod 40.

[0053] In this embodiment, a plurality of clamping grooves 41 are arranged at the end of the connecting rod 40, and the clamping jaw 321 is clamped in different clamping grooves 41 to adjust the relative position of the first component 10 (the connecting plate 60) and the second component 20 in the axial direction of the connecting rod 40, and adjust the distance between them, which is simple in structure and convenient to adjust.

[0054] In actual use, first, one end of the connecting rod 40 is connected with the first component 10 (the connecting plate 60 is connected with the first component 10 through the adjusting structure 70), the connecting sleeve 30 is connected and fixed with the second component 20, then the connecting rod 40 connected with the first component 10 is moved towards the connecting sleeve 30, the connecting rod 40 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 30, according to the required distance between the first component 10 and the second component 20, a suitable clamping groove 41 is selected, and the clamping jaw 321 is clamped in the clamping groove 41 to realize the relative position of the connecting rod 40 (the first component 10) and the connecting sleeve 30 (the second component 20) in the axial direction of the connecting rod 40, and the relative position of the connecting rod 40 and the connecting sleeve 30 in the radial direction of the connecting rod 40 is realized by inserting the connecting rod 40 into the connecting sleeve 30, which will not be described here.

[0055] It should be noted that the axial direction of the connecting rod 40 is the X-axis direction in this embodiment, and the following embodiments are described in the X-axis direction for ease of description.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly further comprises a gasket 50, which is sleeved on the connecting rod 40; when the clamping jaw 321 is clamped in the clamping groove 41, the gasket 50 is pressed between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20.

[0057] The gasket 50 can fill the gap between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20, protect the connecting rod 40 (and the connecting sleeve 30), avoid external interference to the connecting rod 40, improve the stability of the connecting rod 40, ensure the stability of the clamping jaw 321 and the clamping groove 41, and thus realize the relative stability of the first component 10 and the second component 20 in the X-axis direction, while effectively improving the service life of the connecting rod 40.

[0058] At the same time, when the clamping jaw 321 is clamped in the clamping groove 41, the gasket 50 is pressed between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20, and the gasket 50 is pressed, so the gasket 50 has a tendency to reset and press the clamping jaw 321 against the groove wall of the clamping groove 41, increasing the friction between the two, and thus making the clamping jaw 321 and the clamping groove 41 more firmly clamped.

[0059] It should be noted that the gasket 50 in this embodiment has a certain elasticity, and the thickness of the gasket 50 can be determined according to the required distance between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20 in actual use.

[0060] In an embodiment, the distance between adjacent clamping grooves 41 in the axial direction of the connecting rod 40 is equal, and the distance between adjacent clamping grooves 41 in the axial direction of the connecting rod 40 is equal to the thickness of the gasket 50.

[0061] The thickness of the gasket 50 is equal to the distance between adjacent clamping grooves 41 in the X-axis direction (the axial direction of the connecting rod 40, the same below), and when adjusting the distance between the first component 10 and the second component 20 (the distance in the X-axis direction), the number of gaskets 50 can be determined according to which clamping groove 41 the clamping jaw 321 is clamped in, and the gap between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20 can be filled by using multiple gaskets 50.

[0062] In actual use, the clamping groove 41 is provided with five, when the clamping jaw 321 is clamped in the leftmost Figure 3When the clamping jaw 321 is clamped in the clamping groove 41, the spacing between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20 is zero, and the two are attached to each other. When the clamping jaw 321 is moved right by one clamping groove 41, the increased spacing between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20 is the spacing of the clamping groove 41 in the X-axis direction, that is, the spacing of one gasket 50 in thickness. The gap between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20 can be filled by adding one gasket 50. When moving right by one clamping groove 41, one gasket 50 is added. Similarly, when moving left by one clamping groove 41, one gasket 50 is reduced.

[0063] In the embodiment, the thicknesses of the plurality of gaskets 50 are consistent, so that there is no need to distinguish the sizes of the gaskets 50 during use, and the scenario of mixed use or wrong use of the gaskets 50 is avoided, thereby improving the convenience of use. In addition, during later maintenance and repair, the repair cost is reduced, and the production cost of the parts is reduced.

[0064] In some embodiments, the surface opposite to the connecting plate 60 of the second component 20 is provided with a protective protrusion 63, and the protective protrusion 63 is annularly arranged on the side of the connecting rod 40. When the clamping jaw 321 is clamped in the clamping groove 41, the gasket 50 is pressed between the end face of the second component 20 and the protective protrusion 63 away from the connecting plate 60.

[0065] Through the arrangement of the protective protrusion 63, the spacing (the spacing in the X-axis direction, the same below) between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20 is reduced. When the connecting rod 40 is connected with the connecting sleeve 30, the thickness of the gasket 50 or the number of the gaskets 50 used can be reduced, thereby reducing the use cost.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the spacing between the connecting plate 60 and the second component 20 is adjusted, the gap between the two is filled by a plurality of gaskets 50 of the same size. Different numbers of gaskets 50 are selected according to different gaps. At this time, the arrangement of the protective protrusion 63 can reduce the number of gaskets 50 used, reduce the use cost, and effectively improve the assembly efficiency.

[0067] In actual assembly, the gasket 50 is attached to the end face of the protective protrusion 63 away from the connecting plate 60, and then the connecting rod 40 is moved towards the connecting sleeve 30 until the gasket 50 is pressed between the second component 20 and the protective protrusion 63. At this time, the clamping jaw 321 is clamped in the clamping groove 41.

[0068] In some embodiments, the second component 20 is provided with a mounting through hole 21; the connecting sleeve 30 comprises a limiting portion 31 and a mounting portion 32 connected in sequence along the X-axis direction, the mounting portion 32 is configured to be inserted into the mounting through hole 21, and a clamping jaw 321 is arranged at the end of the mounting portion 32 away from the limiting portion 31; the side wall of the mounting portion 32 is provided with an elastic clamping block 322, which can move along the radial direction of the connecting sleeve 30 under the action of external force; when the mounting portion 32 is inserted into the mounting through hole 21, the limiting portion 31 is pressed against the surface of the second component 20 facing the first component 10, and the elastic clamping block 322 is pressed against the surface of the second component 20 away from the first component 10, so as to limit the relative position of the connecting sleeve 30 and the second component 20 in the X-axis direction.

[0069] By pressing the elastic clamping block 322 and the limiting portion 31 on the two surfaces of the second component 20 in the X-axis direction respectively, the connecting sleeve 30 is connected to the second component 20; in actual assembly, the connecting sleeve 30 is moved towards the mounting through hole 21, part of the mounting portion 32 is inserted into the mounting through hole 21, and the connecting sleeve 30 is continuously moved, at this time the hole wall of the mounting through hole 21 extrudes the elastic clamping block 322, the elastic clamping block 322 moves to the inside of the connecting sleeve 30 under pressure, and the connecting sleeve 30 is continuously moved until the hole wall of the mounting through hole 21 is not in contact with the elastic clamping block 322, the elastic clamping block 322 resets without force, and the end of the elastic clamping block 322 in the X-axis direction abuts against one side of the second component 20, at this time the limiting portion 31 is pressed against the other side of the second component 20, and the connection and installation of the connecting sleeve 30 and the second component 20 are completed. When it is necessary to remove or replace the connecting sleeve 30, the elastic clamping block 322 is only needed to be pressed to move towards the inside of the connecting sleeve 30, so that the connecting sleeve 30 can be taken out of the mounting through hole 21; the structure is simple and convenient to use.

[0070] When the connecting rod 40 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 30, the connecting rod 40 fills the internal space of the connecting sleeve 30, so that the elastic clamping block 322 will not move to the inside of the connecting sleeve 30 under force, that is, the connecting sleeve 30 will not fall off from the second component 20, and the stability of the connection is effectively improved.

[0071] In an embodiment, the end of the limiting portion 31 towards the second component 20 is provided with an elastic pressing sub-portion 311. When the connecting sleeve 30 is connected to the second component 20, the elastic pressing sub-portion 311 is deformed under pressure, and the elastic pressing sub-portion 311 has a tendency to reset, so that the elastic clamping block 322 is pressed more tightly against the second component 20, and the stability of the connection between the connecting sleeve 30 and the second component 20 is further improved.

[0072] In an embodiment, a reference plane λ perpendicular to the X-axis direction is taken as a projection plane; when the connecting rod 40 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 30, the orthographic projection of the gasket 50 on the projection plane is arranged at intervals with the orthographic projection of the limiting portion 31 on the projection plane.

[0073] The normal projection of the gasket 50 on the projection plane is arranged at intervals with the normal projection of the limiting portion 31 on the projection plane, that is, the gasket 50 is not in contact with the limiting portion 31. When the connecting rod 40 is connected with the connecting sleeve 30, the gasket 50 is directly pressed on the second component 20, the pressing is more compact, and the connection between the connecting rod 40 and the connecting sleeve 30 (the first component 10 and the second component 20) is more stable.

[0074] Since the end portion of the limiting portion 31 towards the second component 20 is provided with the elastic pressing sub-portion 311, when the gasket 50 is pressed on the limiting portion 31, the elastic pressing sub-portion 311 continues to be pressed and deformed, which causes the connecting sleeve 30 and the second component 20 to be loose, the connection is unstable, and abnormal sound is easily generated during use.

[0075] In some embodiments, the plurality of clamping grooves 41 are arranged at equal intervals along the axial direction of the connecting rod 40, and the clamping claws 321 are arranged at least two at intervals along the circumferential direction of the connecting sleeve 30; the clamping claw 321 comprises a connecting portion 3211 and a clamping portion 3212, the clamping portion 3212 is connected with the connecting sleeve 30 through the connecting portion 3211, and the clamping portion 3212 is configured to be clamped in the clamping groove 41; in the axial direction of the connecting sleeve 30, the distances from the adjacent two clamping portions 3212 to the second component 20 are not equal.

[0076] The two clamping claws 321 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the connecting sleeve 30, and the distances (the interval in the X-axis direction) from the two clamping portions 3212 to the second component 20 are not equal, that is, the two clamping portions 3212 are clamped in the adjacent two clamping grooves 41 (in some embodiments, the clamping grooves 41 can also be non-adjacent, which is determined according to actual design requirements), that is, one of the clamping portions 3212 is clamped in one of the clamping grooves 41, and the other clamping portion 3212 is clamped in the clamping groove 41 adjacent to the above-mentioned clamping groove 41.

[0077] The clamping portion 3212 is arranged at the end portion of the connecting portion 3211 away from the connecting sleeve 30, that is, the lengths (the total length of the clamping portion 3212 and the connecting portion 3211, the same below) of the two clamping claws 321 in the X-axis direction are not consistent, the clamping claw 321 with the longer size is more likely to be deformed, which can ensure that the clamping claw 321 enters the clamping groove 41 better when the connecting rod 40 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 30; the clamping claw 321 with the shorter size is not easy to be deformed, and is not easy to fall off from the clamping groove 41 after being clamped in the clamping groove 41, which is conducive to the stable and reliable connection between the connecting rod 40 and the connecting sleeve 30.

[0078] In some embodiments, the clamping claw 321 is provided with four clamping portions 3212, and the distances from the two clamping portions 3212 opposite to each other in the radial direction of the connecting sleeve 30 to the second component 20 in the axial direction of the connecting sleeve 30 are equal.

[0079] The two claws 321 opposite in the radial direction of the connecting sleeve 30 are a group (the distance of the two opposite clamping portions 3212 to the second component 20 is equal), and the length of one group of claws 321 is greater than the length of the other group of claws 321, and the effect of the different lengths will not be repeated here, see the above embodiment; through the oppositely arranged claws 321, the force on both sides of the connecting rod 40 can be symmetrical, which is beneficial to the stable and reliable connection of the connecting rod 40 and the connecting sleeve 30.

[0080] It should be noted that the claws 321 can also be arranged in other numbers, such as three, five, six, etc., which are comprehensively considered according to the diameter of the connecting rod 40, and are not limited thereto.

[0081] On the other hand, the application also relates to a mounting structure of a vehicle lamp, comprising the connecting assembly of any one of the preceding.

[0082] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application aims to arrange the sliding groove 71 and the connecting hole 72 in a long strip shape; the connecting pin 73 can adjust the position in the first direction in the sliding groove 71 (adjust the relative position of the connecting pin 73 and the first component 10 in the first direction), and when the connecting pin 73 is inserted into the connecting hole 72, the connecting pin 73 can also adjust the position in the second direction (adjust the relative position of the connecting pin 73 and the connecting plate 60 in the second direction), that is, by arranging the extension directions of the sliding groove 71 and the connecting hole 72, the relative position between the first component 10 and the connecting plate 60 can be adjusted, and the assembly quality and assembly efficiency between the first component 10 and the second component 20 are effectively improved.
