Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of car light, especially relates to a car light defogging system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The car light fogging not only influences the lighting effect, but more importantly, threatens the service life of the bulb and the safety of the lamp circuit. Moreover, the long-term condensation of water vapor on the surface of the car light reflector and lens can cause a series of consequences such as corrosion of the car light material, accelerated aging deformation, and destruction of the optical control effect.

[0003] For the car light fog, the conventional solutions mainly include the following. ① Bending pipe air permeation: through the selection of a better air duct by thermal design, the air pressure difference caused by the heat field during lighting is used to drive the free exchange of air inside the lamp with the outside, realizing the function of faster fog dissipation. The disadvantage is that it is not waterproof and the dustproof effect is poor. ② Waterproof air permeation assembly: the air permeation film patch uses the diffusion principle to diffuse the water vapor inside the lamp to the outside of the lamp as the water vapor concentration inside the lamp rises during lighting; the air permeation plug uses the air convection formed by the air permeation hole opened at a suitable position of the lamp to make the water vapor inside the lamp exhaust to the outside of the lamp. The disadvantage is that a large number of air permeation plugs are used, and the problem of fogging in the dead zone and low temperature area cannot be solved. ③ Anti-fog coating: the hydrophilic group forms an anti-fog film on the surface of the coating film, which is wet and expanded on the inner surface of the lamp shell, forming a smooth water film to prevent the generation of fog. The disadvantage is that when the humidity is high, it will form a flow and accumulate water. ④ Desiccant: the physical desiccant has a generally low moisture absorption rate, is short-acting, and is reversible under certain conditions; the chemical desiccant has a generally high moisture absorption rate, but is irreversible and sometimes effective. In order to ensure the defogging effect of the car light, the above methods often need to be used in combination, which not only complicates the design of the lamp, but also increases the manufacturing process of the lamp, thereby greatly increasing the cost of the car light.

[0027] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of a vehicle headlight defogging system.

[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a vehicle headlight defogging system, including a housing 1. A defogging device 3 is disposed in the inner cavity of the housing 1, and one end of the housing 1 is provided with an external threaded groove 2 that is threadedly connected to the rear cover of the headlight. A sealing ring 4 is provided between the housing 1 and the rear cover of the headlight, and a clamping ring 10 is provided on one inner edge of the sealing ring 4. The clamping ring 10 is in contact with the surface of the defogging device 3. When the housing 1 is threadedly connected to the rear cover of the headlight, the sealing ring 4 will be located between the housing 1 and the rear cover of the headlight. When the housing 1 and the rear cover of the headlight are tightened, the sealing ring 4 will be squeezed, so that the clamping ring 10 will be in close contact with the defogging device 3, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the defogging device 3, which can effectively prevent the defogging device 3 from loosening in the housing 1. The housing 1 is a cavity structure with one end open, and multiple protrusions 9 arranged in a circular array are provided on the inner wall of the closed end of the housing 1. With the arrangement of the protrusions 9, when the demister 3 is placed inside the housing 1, the inner side of the demister 3 will contact the protrusions 9, so that there is a gap between the demister 3 and the side of the housing 1 away from the opening, which is conducive to the rapid discharge of water vapor through the second ePTFE membrane 15 through the aperture 11 and the valve body 7. The ePTFE membrane, through its microporous structure, can achieve a combination of high-efficiency air permeability and waterproof and dustproof properties. The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with four limiting strips 8 arranged in a circumferential array. The surface of the demister 3 is provided with four limiting grooves 13 that correspond one-to-one with the limiting strips 8. The size of the limiting strips 8 matches the size of the limiting grooves 13, and the limiting strips 8 and the limiting grooves 13 are slidably connected. Through the cooperation between the limiting strips 8 and the limiting grooves 13, the demister 3 plays a good limiting role during installation, which can effectively prevent the demister 3 from rolling inside the housing 1.

[0029] A protruding ring 5 is provided at the other end of the housing 1. A through-hole 11 is provided on the surface of the housing 1 within the protruding ring 5, and a valve body 7 is provided inside the protruding ring 5. A first ePTFE membrane 6 is provided on the outside of the valve body 7 within the protruding ring 5. The demister 3 includes a cylindrical sleeve 12, and a desiccant 17 is provided in the inner cavity of the cylindrical sleeve 12. Both ends of the cylindrical sleeve 12 are snapped with rings 14, and a second ePTFE membrane 15 is provided inside the rings 14. A sealing ring 16 is provided on the inner edge of the side wall of the rings 14. The outer diameter of the sealing ring 16 matches the inner diameter of the cylindrical sleeve 12. The sealing ring 16 on the rings 14 facilitates the sealing of the rings 14 with the cylindrical sleeve 12, and also facilitates its removal, making it convenient for the desiccant 17 to be replaced later. The surface of the cylindrical sleeve 12 is provided with anti-slip textures, which facilitates the rotation of the housing 1.

[0030] The working principle of this vehicle headlight defogging system is as follows: Without other ventilated structures, when the headlights are turned on, the positive pressure created by the increased temperature of the light source forces moisture out of the headlight body through valve 7 along with the hot air. The desiccant 17 inside the cylindrical sleeve 12 is a specialized, room-temperature reversible desiccant with a single-pass moisture absorption rate of 180% of its own mass. It exhibits "moisture absorption" and "desorption" depending on changes in ambient humidity and its own state, resulting in a high cumulative moisture absorption. Furthermore, after absorbing moisture, the desiccant remains in a loose, solidified state. After multiple "absorption-desorption" cycles, the effective reversible moisture absorption rate still reaches over 100%. When the headlights are turned off, external air enters the headlight after drying, thus maintaining a certain level of dryness inside the headlight. The high reversible moisture absorption rate, fast reversibility, and reduced influence of the external environment give this defogging system a high degree of freedom in humidity regulation, enabling it to maintain dryness inside the headlight even under harsh conditions, establishing an effective "moisture-proof and moisture-removing system" between the inside and outside of the headlight.

[0031] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
