[0028] As the name suggests, car taillights are lights installed at the rear of a car. Current car taillights typically use LEDs or light bulbs as their light source; LED taillights refer to those that use LEDs as the light source. However, LEDs are more expensive, and using LEDs as the light source increases the cost of car taillights compared to using light bulbs. Furthermore, if light bulbs are used, their structure is often visible, which can give a cheap impression.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model proposes a car taillight 100, which includes a reflector 1, a light-emitting component 2, and a decorative part 3. The reflector 1 is arc-shaped, with a connecting end 11 and a light-emitting end 12 at its two ends. An opening 13 is provided near the connecting end 11 of the reflector 1. The light-emitting component 2 includes a bulb 21 and a mounting bracket 22 connected to each other. The bulb 21 passes through the opening 13 and extends into the reflector 1. The mounting bracket 22 is fixed to the opening 13. The frame 1 is divided into a mounting area 111 and a light-emitting area 112. The boundary between the mounting area 111 and the light-emitting area 112 is located at the line connecting the end of the bulb 21 away from the mounting frame 22 along the first direction to the reflector frame 1. The decorative part 3 includes a mounting end 31 and a stop end 32 arranged opposite to each other. The mounting end 31 is installed on the connecting end 11. The stop end 32 blocks the mounting area 111, and the stop end 32 and the light-emitting end 12 form a light outlet 4 through which the light source of the bulb 21 passes.
[0030] In this embodiment, the reflector 1 is arc-shaped and has a connecting end 11 and a light-emitting end 12. The bulb 21 in the light-emitting assembly 2 extends into the reflector 1 through the opening 13, and the mounting bracket 22 is fixed to the opening 13. The reflector 1 is divided into a mounting area 111 and a light-emitting area 112, with the dividing point located at the end of the bulb 21 furthest from the mounting bracket 22, wherein the first direction is... Figure 3 The decorative part 3 is installed on the connecting end 11, and the stop end 32 blocks the mounting area 111, forming a light outlet 4 with the light-emitting end 12. This design effectively blocks the bulb 21, thereby improving the appearance quality of the car taillight 100.
[0031] The reflector 1 can be implemented in various ways, such as by using a one-piece molded component made of plastic or metal. The bulb 21 and mounting bracket 22 in the light-emitting component 2 can also be connected in various ways, such as by threaded connection or snap-fit connection. The decorative part 3 can be rectangular or other shapes, and the specific size and shape can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0032] Compared with existing technologies, this application effectively solves the problem that the bulb 21 of a car taillight 100, which uses bulb 21 as a light source, is easily visible through a reasonable structural design, thus improving the appearance quality of the taillight. In existing technologies, the structure of the bulb 21 is often visible in car taillights 100 that use bulb 21 as a light source, giving a cheap impression. However, this application, through the design of the reflector 1 and the decorative part 3, blocks the direct view of the bulb 21, making it less visible and thus improving the appearance quality.
[0033] The reflector 1 is arc-shaped, with a connecting end 11 and a light-emitting end 12. The bulb 21 in the light-emitting assembly 2 extends into the reflector 1 through the opening 13, and the mounting bracket 22 is fixed to the opening 13. The reflector 1 is divided into a mounting area 111 and a light-emitting area 112, with the dividing point located at the end of the bulb 21 furthest from the mounting bracket 22. A decorative piece 3 is installed at the connecting end 11, and a stop end 32 blocks the mounting area 111, forming a light-emitting opening 4 with the light-emitting end 12. Through this design, the cooperation of the reflector 1 and the decorative piece 3 effectively blocks the direct view of the bulb 21, making it less visible and thus improving the appearance quality of the taillight 100. Simultaneously, the light-emitting opening 4 ensures effective output of the bulb 21's light source, solving the problem of the bulb 21 being easily visible as a light source and improving the overall appearance quality of the taillight.
[0034] In one embodiment, the through 13 has a flange 131 formed in a direction away from the bulb 21, and the outer wall of the mounting bracket 22 abuts against the inner wall of the flange 131.
[0035] To enhance the stable connection between the bulb 21 mounting bracket 22 and the reflector 1, a flange 131 is formed in the direction of the opening 13, causing the outer wall of the mounting bracket 22 to abut against the inner wall of the flange 131, thereby achieving a secure connection. The flange 131 provides additional support and fixation, making the mounting bracket 22 more stable at the opening 13, preventing loosening and displacement, and solving the problem of a stable connection between the bulb 21 mounting bracket 22 and the reflector 1.
[0036] Specifically, the flange 131 is formed in the direction away from the bulb 21 from the opening 13. This design allows the outer wall of the mounting bracket 22 to abut against the inner wall of the flange 131. Thus, the flange 131 not only provides support but also enhances the stability of the connection through its tight fit with the mounting bracket 22. As a preferred embodiment, the flange 131 can be made of different materials and shapes, such as metal or plastic, to suit different application requirements. Furthermore, the size and position of the flange 131 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure optimal connection performance.
[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the inner wall of the flange 131 forms a protrusion 1311 along its circumference, and the outer wall of the mounting bracket 22 is recessed inward to form a groove 221. The shape of the protrusion 1311 matches the shape of the groove 221, and the protrusion 1311 is engaged in the groove 221 to fix the mounting bracket 22 to the reflector frame 1. This structural design stably fixes the mounting bracket 22 to the reflector frame 1, preventing loosening or detachment. The inner wall of the flange 131 forms a protrusion 1311, and the outer wall of the mounting bracket 22 forms a groove 221. The protrusion 1311 and the groove 221 match and engage together, ensuring a stable connection between the mounting bracket 22 and the reflector frame 1.
[0038] Specifically, the protrusion 1311 can take various shapes, such as circular, rectangular, or other suitable geometric shapes, to ensure a match with the shape of the groove 221. The depth and width of the groove 221 should correspond to the dimensions of the protrusion 1311 to ensure stability after engagement. As a preferred embodiment, the fit between the protrusion 1311 and the groove 221 can be achieved through precision machining to ensure their compatibility and reliable installation.
[0039] In one embodiment, the connecting end 11 is cylindrical, and its end face abuts against and is fixed to the decorative element 3. This design allows the decorative element 3 to be securely installed on the connecting end 11, which is cylindrical, with its end face abutting against and fixing the decorative element 3. This structural design not only allows the decorative element 3 to be securely installed on the connecting end 11, but also enables its installation through different fixing methods. For example, connecting holes can be made on the end faces of both the decorative element 3 and the connecting end 11, and fixing screws 313 can be passed through these connecting holes to fix the decorative element 3 to the connecting end 11. Alternatively, clips or other fasteners can be used to fix the decorative element 3, or it can be fixed to the connecting end 11 by welding.
[0040] In one embodiment, the decorative element 3 has a first connecting hole 311, and the end face of the connecting end 11 has a second connecting hole 312. The taillight also includes a fixing screw 313, which passes through the first connecting hole 311 and the second connecting hole 312 in sequence to fix the decorative element 3 to the connecting end 11. Specifically, the first connecting hole 311 and the second connecting hole 312 allow the fixing screw to pass through them, thereby firmly fixing the decorative element 3 to the connecting end 11. This fixing method is not only simple and reliable, but also facilitates the installation and removal of the decorative element 3, improving the overall appearance quality and structural stability of the taillight 100. The first connecting hole 311 on the decorative element 3 can have different shapes and sizes, such as circular, elliptical, or other shapes suitable for the fixing screw to pass through. The second connecting hole 312 on the end face of the connecting end 11 can also be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the fixing screw can pass through smoothly and firmly fix the decorative element 3. The fixing screw can be selected from different materials and specifications to meet the needs of different taillights 100, ensuring the stability and durability of the decorative element 3. With this design, the installation and removal of decorative part 3 becomes easier, and users can easily replace or repair decorative part 3 with simple operations.
[0041] In one embodiment, the decorative element 3 is rectangular, and the first connecting hole 311 is located at the outer edge of the decorative element 3. The rectangular design of the decorative element 3 and the location of the first connecting hole 311 at the outer edge ensure that the top of the decorative element 3 does not protrude excessively from the reflector frame 1, effectively utilizing the overall volume of the decorative element 3.
[0042] In one embodiment, the bulb 21 is tilted, and the angle formed between the bulb 21 and the first direction is 35° to 45°. In this embodiment, by tilting the bulb 21 and controlling its angle with the first direction to be between 35° and 45°, this arrangement effectively blocks the direct line of sight of the bulb 21, allowing the light emitted by the bulb 21 to be reflected more evenly through the reflector 1 and the light outlet 4, thereby reducing the direct visibility of the bulb 21 and improving the overall appearance quality of the automotive taillight 100. The technical feature of tilting the bulb 21 can be achieved in various ways. Specifically, the opening 13 of the reflector 1 can be tilted to achieve the tilted setting of the bulb 21.
[0043] In one embodiment, the bulb 21 and the mounting bracket 22 are detachably connected. This detachable connection makes it easier to replace or repair the bulb 21. This feature improves the maintenance efficiency of the automotive taillight 100 by simplifying the disassembly and installation process and solves the problem of inconvenient connection between the bulb 21 and the mounting bracket 22. Specifically, the detachable connection between the bulb 21 and the mounting bracket 22 can be achieved in several ways. For example, a snap-fit connection structure can be used, allowing the bulb 21 to be easily inserted into and removed from the mounting bracket 22. Another method is to use a threaded connection, fixing the bulb 21 to the mounting bracket 22 by rotating it. Alternatively, a magnetic connection structure can be used, using magnetism to attract the bulb 21 to the mounting bracket 22. These methods ensure that the bulb 21 is stable and reliable during use, while allowing for convenient and quick disassembly when replacement is needed.
[0044] In one embodiment, the reflector frame 1 is a one-piece molded component. A one-piece molded component means that the reflector frame 1 does not require multiple assembly and connection processes during manufacturing, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process, reducing production costs, and improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, this one-piece design also improves the structural strength and stability of the reflector frame 1, avoiding problems such as loosening or instability at connection points that may result from multiple assembly processes. Specifically, the reflector frame 1 can be integrally molded using injection molding, die casting, or other suitable molding processes. These processes ensure that the reflector frame 1 forms a continuous, integral structure during manufacturing, reducing the number of parts and assembly steps. Furthermore, the one-piece molded reflector frame 1 can be designed in different shapes and sizes as needed to accommodate different types of automotive taillights 100.
[0045] In addition, this utility model also discloses a vehicle that uses the above-described taillight 100. The specific structure of the taillight 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
