[0002] Automotive lights generally consist of a lamp cover, a rearview mirror, a lamp holder, a bulb, and a rear cover. The rear cover is assembled with the lamp cover and mainly serves a sealing function, requiring a tight fit with the lamp cover.
[0003] The curved surfaces of automotive headlights and the newly added LED headlight technology have led to more severe condensation and fogging on the inner surface of the transparent glass shell in areas such as cold, curved, and sharp transition zones. Currently, common techniques for dispersing moisture inside automotive headlights include: 1. Spraying an anti-fog coating onto the inside of the headlight shell and then using a hot air drying process, where the hydrophilic groups arrange themselves on the coating surface to form an anti-fog film; 2. Using a desiccant packet inside the headlight shell. The first method has generally low hygroscopicity, while the desiccant packet in the second method is prone to disintegration upon impact.
[0004] To this end, the document with authorization announcement number CN209587948U discloses a vehicle headlight rear cover for quickly filtering fog. The headlight rear cover includes a rear cover shell and a rear cover end cover connected to the rear cover shell. A water vapor filter, a fog absorption device, a gas flow channel device and a drying device are sequentially arranged on the gas flow path from the side away from the rear cover end cover.

[0036] This embodiment provides a rear cover for a vehicle headlight, as shown in the attached image. Figure 1 ~Appendix Figure 6 As shown, it includes:
[0037] The base 1 includes a closed, airtight bottom plate 111, and a cavity 11 is formed inside the base 1, one end of which is connected to the outside and the other end is closed. A filter 16 is provided inside the cavity 11.
[0038] Cover plate 2, which is connected to the base 1, and the cover plate 2 is provided with a vent 21 for guiding air into / out of the cavity 11;
[0039] A breathable membrane 3 is disposed at the connection between the cover plate 2 and the base 1 and is used to cover the port of the cavity 11.
[0040] The base 1 is a one-piece molded part, such as an injection-molded cylinder. The bottom of the cylinder is a closed, airtight bottom plate 111, and the top has an opening. The closed, airtight bottom plate 111 serves as the bottom surface of the cavity 11, so that the cavity 11 is closed at the bottom and does not communicate with the outside, while it communicates with the outside at the opening at the top to allow air to enter and exit. The filter 16 used to fill the cavity 11 is a commonly used hygroscopic particulate material in the art, such as magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, bentonite, silica aerogel, carbon molecular sieve, carbon aerogel, water-absorbing resin, etc. The cover plate 2 can adopt any connection method commonly used in the art, such as bonding, welding, threaded connection, interference fit, etc. The breathable membrane 3 is preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and a coating with the ability to absorb and transfer moisture can be attached to the surface of the PTFE membrane to enhance the breathable membrane 3. The specific material of the coating can be any coating known to those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail.
[0041] It is worth noting that the specific process of "guiding air into / out of the vent 21 of the cavity 11" is as follows: after the air containing moisture enters the cavity 11 through the vent 21, the moisture is absorbed by the filter 16, and the "dehumidified" air is discharged again from the vent 21. Because the filter 16 filling the cavity 11 is large, the filter 16 has a strong overall ability to absorb moisture and a fast speed, which can maintain a low humidity state and avoid the phenomenon of condensation.
[0042] Compared to existing technologies, the taillight cover provided in this embodiment is almost integrally molded with a large internal cavity, which not only ensures strong moisture absorption capacity but also prevents air and liquid leakage. It has the advantages of simple structure and strong practicality.
[0043] In some preferred embodiments, a partition 12 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the base 1 to divide the cavity 11 into at least two independent chambers; the number of vent holes 21 is multiple, and each independent chamber corresponds to at least one vent hole 21. The partition 12 can be installed in the cavity 11 by means of detachable connection or by means of fixed connection. Preferably, the partition 12 is integrally formed in the cavity 11 during the injection molding of the base 1.
[0044] Furthermore, the partition 12 will divide the cavity into several sector-shaped cavities, and the partition 12 is directly connected to each other at the center. The purpose of this arrangement is to ensure that the partition 12 divides the cavity 11 into equal spaces.
[0045] As a specific embodiment, three partitions 12 can be provided, dividing the cavity 11 into three independent fan-shaped cavities of equal volume. The advantage of this arrangement is that it helps to improve the utilization efficiency of the filter body 16 and also avoids the problem of excessive displacement of the filter body 16 when subjected to impact, which would affect the moisture absorption effect.
[0046] In some preferred embodiments, a connecting groove 13 is provided on the outer wall of the end of the base 1 near the cover plate 2, and a protrusion 22 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the surface of the cover plate 2 near the base 1, which is inserted into the connecting groove 13. The connecting grooves 13 are evenly distributed along the upper outer peripheral side of the base 1, and the size and position of the protrusions 22 match the connecting grooves 13 one by one. This arrangement improves the tightness of the connection between the cover plate 2 and the base 1.
[0047] In some preferred embodiments, a pressure block 23 is provided at the center of the surface of the cover plate 2 near the base 1. This arrangement causes the pressure block 23 to interact with the central upper surface of the partition plate 12 to clamp the breathable membrane 3, thereby improving the fixation effect on the breathable membrane 3.
[0048] In some preferred embodiments, the connecting groove 13 is an annular groove, and the outer periphery of the breathable membrane 3 extends into the connecting groove 13. The protrusion 22 is an annular block used to fit the breathable membrane 3 against the groove wall of the connecting groove 13. This arrangement helps to increase the contact area between the breathable membrane 3 and the base 1, thereby improving the fixing effect of the breathable membrane 3 and further enhancing the sealing effect at the periphery of the breathable membrane 3. Preferably, the end of the protrusion 22 near the connecting groove 13 has a bevel 221 for pressing the breathable membrane 3. The bevel 221 gradually tapers from top to bottom. When the cover plate 2 is connected to the base 1 from top to bottom, the pressing effect of the bevel 221 on the breathable membrane 3 is enhanced, which not only ensures the fastening effect of the breathable membrane 3, but also ensures that the breathable membrane 3 will not be worn or even broken due to the gradual pressing measure.
[0049] It is understood that an annular support plate 14 is provided on the outer periphery of the base 1, and a reinforcing rib 15 connected to the annular support plate 14 is provided on the outer periphery of the base 1 away from the cover plate 2. A sealing ring 4 is provided at the upper end of the annular support plate 14 to ensure the tight connection between the taillight and other structures when it is installed in the assembly. A connecting key 5 is provided on the outer periphery of the base 1 at the upper end of the annular support plate 14 to achieve a locking connection with other structures in the assembly. At the same time, the connecting key 5 can also limit and fix the sealing ring 4.
[0050] This invention reduces the risk of air and water leakage and improves the moisture absorption effect of the device by using one-piece molding and increasing the cavity volume. This keeps the humidity inside the vehicle light within a range of less than 35%~40% RH, avoiding condensation. In addition, the device has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and has the advantages of strong practicality and good economy.
