Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a vehicle lighting module and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technology, some automotive headlights use transparent or semi-transparent lenses to improve illumination. However, in practical applications, it has been found that because the front and bottom sidewalls of the lens are somewhat translucent, when looking down at the headlights, users may be able to see the front bumper structure below through the lens. This is especially true when the front bumper has a light-colored design, creating a contrast with the black light-blocking layer on the edge of the lens, resulting in visual inconsistency and affecting the overall aesthetics. Furthermore, when there is water accumulation between the lens and the front bumper, the water exacerbates light refraction, making the bumper structure even more visible.
[0003] Therefore, there is room for improvement in the headlight module. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, the first aspect of the present invention aims to provide a vehicle headlight module that, through an optimized shielding structure, prevents the bumper structure from being exposed through the headlight cover, thereby improving aesthetic consistency.
[0005] The second aspect of this utility model is to provide a vehicle having the above-mentioned headlight module.

[0010] According to some optional embodiments, the angle between the front sidewall and the bottom sidewall is an acute angle, and one side of the light-shielding layer extends to connect to the front sidewall.
[0011] Furthermore, the shielding portion extends to the lower edge of the front sidewall, and the vertical projection of the side of the light-shielding layer connected to the front sidewall is located on the shielding portion.
[0012] In some alternative embodiments, the front sidewall and the bottom sidewall are integrally formed.
[0013] According to some alternative embodiments of the headlight module, the front surface of the front sidewall and the lower surface of the bottom sidewall are connected by an arc surface transition, and the front edge of the shielding portion extends to the arc surface.

Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0027] As stated in the background section, combining Figure 1 It can be seen that the bumper structure 200' below the headlight module 100' will be displayed through the headlight cover 10'.
[0028] To solve this problem, this utility model proposes a vehicle headlight module 100. See below for reference. Figure 2 Description of a vehicle light module 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle headlight module 100 includes: a lamp cover 10, a light-shielding layer 30, and a blocking part 50.
[0030] The lamp cover 10 is used to protect the internal structure of the vehicle lamp module 100. It can prevent dust, moisture, dirt and other contaminants from damaging the internal components of the lamp, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle lamp.
[0031] The lampshade 10 includes a front sidewall 11 and a bottom sidewall 12, with the bottom sidewall 12 connected to the lower edge of the front sidewall 11. The front sidewall 11 of the lampshade 10 is used to guide light, and the bottom sidewall 12 further enhances the structural strength and sealing of the lampshade 10.
[0032] The light-shielding layer 30 is attached to the upper surface of the bottom sidewall 12. On the one hand, it controls the direction of light, prevents light from scattering downwards, ensures light concentration, and ensures lighting effect; on the other hand, the light-shielding layer 30 can also block vehicle structures (such as bumpers) located below the headlight module 100 from shining through the headlight cover 10.
[0033] Optionally, the light-shielding layer 30 is a black material layer to absorb excess light, reduce unnecessary reflections, and prevent vehicle structures such as bumpers located below the headlight module 100 from being visible through the headlight cover 10, thus maintaining the consistency of the lighting effect.
[0034] Since the lamp cover 10 is usually made of transparent or semi-transparent material, and the bottom side wall 12 itself has a certain thickness, when looking down at the headlights from above, the bumper below may be seen through the front side wall 11. This phenomenon is more obvious when there is water accumulation between the lamp cover 10 and the bumper, affecting the overall appearance and consistency of the headlights.
[0035] To address this issue, a shielding portion 50 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom sidewall 12 and positioned close to the front sidewall 11. The shielding portion 50 is used to conceal the vehicle's internal structure that may be observed from the front sidewall 11, thereby improving the overall neatness and visual appeal of the headlights.
[0036] By providing a shielding part 50 on the bottom sidewall 12, it is possible to prevent lower components such as the bumper from being seen through the headlight cover 10 without damaging the original structure of the vehicle. At the same time, there is no need to add additional independent shielding parts, avoiding modifications to the overall vehicle structure, while reducing the number of parts and assembly complexity, thereby saving manufacturing costs and assembly processes.
[0037] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle headlight module 100, by providing a light-shielding layer 30 on the upper surface of the bottom sidewall 12 of the headlight cover 10 and a blocking part 50 on the lower surface of the bottom sidewall 12 near the front sidewall 11, prevents light scattering and the exposure of the vehicle's lower structure through the headlight cover 10, thereby improving the lighting effect and aesthetic appearance. This structure eliminates the need for additional independent parts or modifications to the vehicle body structure, simplifies the assembly process, and reduces production costs.
[0038] According to some alternative embodiments of the vehicle headlight module 100, the lamp cover 10 is a transparent lamp cover, and the shielding portion 50 includes a black coating or a black spray layer.
[0039] The lampshade 10 is a transparent lampshade with good light transmission.
[0040] The shielding part 50 includes a black coating or black spray layer disposed on the lower surface of the bottom sidewall 12, which can effectively shield the vehicle's lower structure, such as the bumper, that may be observed from an external viewing angle, thereby avoiding appearance defects caused by perspective.
[0041] Here, the black coating can be directly formed on the lower surface of the bottom sidewall 12 by spraying, brushing, or other methods. The black spray layer can be completed simultaneously during the injection molding process without additional assembly steps, which helps to improve production efficiency, reduce manufacturing costs, and ensure good light-blocking and appearance effects.
[0042] During the processing of the lampshade 10, a mask can be used to shield and protect the non-painted areas of the lampshade 10 to prevent paint from adhering to the light-transmitting area when black paint is applied. Subsequently, the area where the shielding part 50 needs to be formed is painted. This simplifies the processing steps while ensuring a clear boundary between the light-shielding area and the light-transmitting area, thus improving product consistency.
[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the lampshade 10 is a transparent lampshade, and the shielding portion 50 includes a textured structure.
[0044] The textured structure can reduce the transmittance of the transparent lens, thereby further weakening the visual impact of the vehicle structure below (such as the bumper) through the lens 10 and reducing appearance defects.
[0045] Optionally, the texture can be regular or irregular.
[0046] Alternatively, the textured structure may be formed on the bottom sidewall 12. For example, the textured structure may be formed on the bottom sidewall 12 by surface processing. Or, the textured structure may be integrally formed on the bottom sidewall 12 during injection molding of the lampshade 10.
[0047] According to some optional embodiments, the angle between the front sidewall 11 and the bottom sidewall 12 is an acute angle, and one side of the light-shielding layer 30 extends to connect to the front sidewall 11.
[0048] In this embodiment, the light-shielding layer 30 is mainly used to shield the vehicle structure, such as the bumper, located below the headlight module 100, preventing it from shining upwards from the bottom sidewall 12 or the connection of the lamp cover 10, thereby preventing external views from observing the internal structure of the vehicle through the lamp cover 10 and affecting the consistency of the appearance.
[0049] Furthermore, the shielding portion 50 extends to the lower edge of the front sidewall 11, and the light-shielding layer 30 is connected to one side of the front sidewall 11, with its vertical projection located on the shielding portion 50.
[0050] In the above technical solution, the shielding part 50 can better block the vehicle structure below, such as the bumper, from showing through from the bottom of the lamp cover 10, thus improving the overall appearance.
[0051] The light-shielding layer 30 is mainly used to absorb stray light scattered downwards and prevent excess light from shining downwards. Together, the two improve the appearance consistency of the headlight module 100 without adding any extra components.
[0052] In some alternative embodiments, the front sidewall 11 and the bottom sidewall 12 are integrally formed.
[0053] The one-piece molded front sidewall 11 and bottom sidewall 12 improve the overall structural strength and sealing performance of the lamp cover 10, and also reduce assembly steps and the number of parts, which helps to improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs. At the same time, the one-piece molded structure also helps to enhance the fitting accuracy between the light-shielding layer 30 and the blocking part 50, so as to further ensure the appearance of the vehicle lamp.
[0054] According to some alternative embodiments of the headlight module 100, the front surface of the front sidewall 11 and the lower surface of the bottom sidewall 12 are connected by a curved surface 13, and the front edge of the shielding portion 50 extends to the curved surface 13.
[0055] In this embodiment, the transition connection of the arc surface 13 makes the structure at the corner of the lampshade 10 smoother, which helps to improve the appearance and reduce stress concentration.
[0056] The front edge of the shielding part 50 extends to the arc surface 13 to achieve a more comprehensive shielding effect on the vehicle structure below, such as the bumper, preventing it from showing through the lamp cover 10, and further enhancing the overall appearance and aesthetics of the headlight. This design optimizes the visual effect while also facilitating assembly and manufacturing processes, and has good practicality and scalability.
[0057] According to some alternative embodiments of the headlight module 100, the shielding portion 50 is strip-shaped and extends along the length direction of the lower edge of the front sidewall 11. This arrangement of the shielding portion 50 extending along the length direction enhances the continuity and integrity of the shielding. The strip-shaped shielding portion 50 can cover vehicle structures such as bumpers in the length direction, effectively preventing bumpers and other components from being seen externally through the headlight cover 10. At the same time, the strip-shaped shielding portion 50 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.
[0058] According to some alternative embodiments of the headlight module 100, the bottom sidewall 12 extends downwardly at an angle away from the front sidewall 11.
[0059] On the one hand, the downward tilting extension makes the lamp cover 10 fit more closely to the vehicle structure such as the lower bumper, thereby improving the stability of the lamp module 100 assembly; on the other hand, the tilted structure of the bottom sidewall 12 can further increase the visual obscuring range of the vehicle structure (such as the bumper) below, reducing the possibility of it being observed through the lamp cover 10, thereby effectively improving the consistency of the lamp appearance.
[0060] A vehicle according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a bumper and a headlight module 100. The headlight module 100 is disposed above the bumper. The headlight module 100 is the same as the headlight module 100 of the first aspect of the present invention.
[0061] It is worth noting that the specific type of vehicle referred to in this application is not limited. For example, the vehicle can be a passenger car such as a sedan, SUV, or MPV, or a commercial vehicle such as a truck, bus, or special-purpose vehicle such as a fire truck or ambulance. The vehicle in this embodiment of the present invention, utilizing the improved headlight module 100, facilitates a higher degree of consistency between the headlights and the overall appearance of the vehicle, enhancing the vehicle's neatness and aesthetics.

[0067] The angle between the front sidewall 11 and the bottom sidewall 12 is an acute angle. The front surface of the front sidewall 11 and the lower surface of the bottom sidewall 12 are connected by a circular arc surface 13.
[0068] The light-shielding layer 30 is attached to the upper surface of the bottom sidewall 12. One side of the light-shielding layer 30 extends to the front sidewall 11.
