Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle lighting equipment technology, and in particular to a mirror structure lamp. Background Technology

[0002] As an integral part of the vehicle's exterior, car lights not only serve important functions of illumination and signaling, but also significantly contribute to the vehicle's recognizability.

[0003] In modern lighting design, signal lights are an important component. They generally achieve their lighting effect by shining a light source onto a reflective surface or lens. This usually results in a monotonous and unattractive appearance with a limited range of lighting effects. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to solve the problem of the monotonous light emission effect of signal lights, this utility model provides a mirror structure lamp. By utilizing the difference in plane height between the optical structure and the high-brightness black outer lamp cover, when the lamp is lit, the optical structure is cleverly projected into the line of sight of the external observer, forming a novel three-dimensional mirror effect.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a mirror structure lamp, including an outer lamp cover and a housing, wherein the long side of the outer lamp cover is in the y direction and the wide side of the outer lamp cover is in the z direction, then the high side of the outer lamp cover is in the x direction, the front surface of the outer lamp cover is located on the yz plane, and the housing is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the outer lamp cover.

[0006] The outer lampshade has a dual-color one-piece injection molding structure. The outer lampshade includes a flat part and a raised part. The raised part is located in the center of the flat part. The rear surface of the flat part is fixedly connected to the housing. The interior of the raised part and the interior of the housing form a placement cavity. A thick-walled component and a light source are installed in the placement cavity.

[0007] The rear surface of the planar portion is provided with a high-gloss black mirror reflective surface, which extends outward around the protrusion.

[0008] Thus, the light emitted by the light source is scattered by the thick-walled component and emitted from the protrusion. The reflective surface of the flat part reflects the light from the protrusion into the eyes of the external observer. The external observer sees not only the real image of the protrusion but also a virtual image of the same protrusion from the reflective surface, thus forming a novel three-dimensional mirror effect.

[0009] Furthermore, in order for the observer to see the mirror effect from all angles, the distance from the outer edge of the flat part to the protrusion is a, and the length of the protrusion along the x direction is greater than or equal to 2a; thus, there is a certain height difference between the front surface of the protrusion and the front surface of the flat part, so that there is a depth effect at the mirror reflection surface. When the angle between the observer's line of sight and the protrusion is less than 30°, the virtual image of the protrusion can also be seen from the mirror reflection surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the protrusion is a transparent structure; thus, the protrusion has a certain degree of light transmittance.

[0011] Furthermore, the thick-walled component includes at least one first transparent color, one end of which extends into the protrusion, and the length of the first transparent color in the x direction is greater than 1.5a; thereby, the length of the thick-walled component is adapted to the outer lampshade, ensuring uniform light transmission from the protrusion and indirectly ensuring a significant mirror effect at the planar portion.

[0012] Furthermore, the first transparent outer surface is provided with optical patterns; thereby, the optical patterns diffuse light, enhance the three-dimensional effect, and indirectly make the mirror effect on the flat part more three-dimensional and significant.

[0013] Furthermore, the thick-walled component also includes a mounting portion, which is a two-color integral injection molded structure with the first transparent color. The end face of the mounting portion is parallel to the yz plane, one end of the first transparent color penetrates through the end face of the mounting portion, and the side of the mounting portion is engaged with the inside of the housing. Thus, the mounting portion provides support for the first transparent color, allowing the first transparent color to be suspended in the placement cavity.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting part is a non-transparent component; thus, the mounting part effectively blocks stray light, so that light can only be scattered from the light-emitting surface of the first transparent color, thereby ensuring a significant mirror effect at the planar part.

[0015] Furthermore, the light source includes a PCB board located between the mounting part and the housing, with the side of the PCB board snapped into the housing; LED lights are arranged in an array on the side of the PCB board near the mounting part; thus, after electronic hardware and software design, the LED lights are lit sequentially in a logical order, enabling the lamp to achieve dynamic lighting and flowing effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the front surface of the housing and the flat portion are assembled by hot plate welding or vibration friction welding; thereby reducing the length of the housing and the flat portion in the x-direction, optimizing the space occupied by the housing and the flat portion, and thus adapting to the needs of small spaces; at the same time, the welding method replaces the method of multiple bolt connections, achieving the requirement of lightweight.

[0017] Furthermore, multiple first transparent colors are provided, and the first transparent colors are arranged in an array along the z-direction on the mounting part; the LED lights are arranged in a matrix on the PCB board; thus, the first transparent color is set in correspondence with a row of light sources, so as to keep the light intensity of the lamp stable while ensuring the diversity of light.

[0018] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the mirror structure lamp has a dual-color integrated injection molded outer lampshade, in which the flat part is a high-gloss black mirror reflective surface. The reflective surface of the flat part reflects the light from the protruding part into the eyes of the external observer, thereby forming a novel three-dimensional mirror effect.

[0019] The mirror structure lamp of this utility model has a first transparent color with optical patterns. The optical patterns diffuse the light, enhance the three-dimensional effect, and indirectly make the mirror effect on the flat part more three-dimensional and significant.

[0020] The mirror-structure lamp of this utility model optimizes the space occupied by the lamp mounting part through the compact arrangement of the flat part, PCB board and housing, thereby adapting to the needs of small spaces. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figures 1-3As shown, a mirror structure lamp includes an outer lamp cover 1 and a housing 4. Let the long side of the outer lamp cover 1 be in the y direction and the wide side of the outer lamp cover 1 be in the z direction, then the high side of the outer lamp cover 1 is in the x direction (the light output direction is opposite to the x direction). The front surface of the outer lamp cover 1 is located on the yz plane, and the housing 4 is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the outer lamp cover 1.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The outer lamp cover 1 is a two-color one-piece injection molded structure. The outer lamp cover 1 includes a flat part 11 and a raised part 12. The raised part 12 is located in the center of the flat part 11. The rear surface of the flat part 11 is assembled with the housing 4 by welding or vibration friction welding to the overheating plate. The interior of the raised part 12 and the interior of the housing 4 form a placement cavity. A thick-walled part 2 and a light source 3 are installed in the placement cavity. A high-gloss black mirror reflective surface 111 is provided on the rear surface of the flat part 11. The mirror reflective surface 111 extends outward around the raised part 12. Thus, the welding method is simplified. The length of the small shell 4 and the flat part 11 in the x-direction is optimized to occupy the space required by the shell 4 and the flat part 11, thus adapting to the needs of small spaces; at the same time, the welding method replaces the method of multiple bolt connections, achieving the requirement of lightweight; the light emitted by the light source 3 is scattered by the thick-walled part 2 and emitted from the protrusion 12. The reflective surface of the flat part 11 reflects the light from the protrusion 12 to the eyes of the external observer. The external observer sees not only the real image of the protrusion 12, but also a virtual image of the same protrusion 12 from the mirror reflection surface 111. Figure 3 The middle arrow indicates the path of light reflection, and the dashed line represents the virtual image in the mirror, thus creating a novel three-dimensional mirror effect.

[0030] in:

[0031] The protrusion 12 is a transparent structure. The distance from the outer edge of the flat part 11 to the protrusion 12 is a. The length of the protrusion 12 along the x direction is greater than or equal to 2a. As a result, there is a certain height difference between the front surface of the protrusion 12 and the front surface of the flat part 11. In accordance with relevant specifications, the height difference is greater than 70mm, so that there is a depth effect at the mirror reflection surface 111. When the angle between the observer's line of sight and the protrusion 12 is less than 30°, the virtual image of the protrusion 12 can also be seen from the mirror reflection surface 111.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 The thick-walled component 2 includes at least one first transparent color 22, one end of which extends into the protrusion 12. The length of the first transparent color 22 in the x direction is greater than 1.5a, specifically 60mm. The outer surface of the first transparent color 22 is provided with an optical pattern 221. Thus, the length of the thick-walled component 2 is adapted to the outer lampshade 1, ensuring that the light transmitted through the protrusion 12 is uniform. The optical pattern 221 diffuses the light, enhances the three-dimensional effect, and indirectly makes the mirror effect at the flat part 11 more three-dimensional and significant.

[0033] The thick-walled component 2 also includes a mounting portion 21, which is a two-color integral injection molded structure with the first transparent color 22. The mounting portion 21 is a non-transparent component. The end face of the mounting portion 21 is parallel to the yz plane, and one end of the first transparent color 22 passes through the end face of the mounting portion 21. The side of the mounting portion 21 is snapped into the interior of the housing 4. Thus, the mounting portion 21 provides support for the first transparent color 22, allowing the first transparent color 22 to be suspended in the placement cavity. The mounting portion 21 effectively blocks stray light, ensuring that light can only be scattered from the light-emitting surface of the first transparent color 22, thereby guaranteeing a significant mirror effect at the mirror reflection surface 111.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 A light source 3 is also installed inside the cavity. The light source 3 includes a PCB board 31, which is located between the mounting part 21 and the housing 4. The side of the PCB board 31 is snapped into the housing 4. LED lights 32 are arranged in an array on the side of the PCB board 31 near the mounting part 21. Thus, after the LED module 3 is designed with electronic software and hardware, the LED lights 32 are lit up in a logical order (the control of the LED lights 32 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here), so that the lamp can achieve dynamic lighting and flowing effect.

[0035] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that:

[0036] Reference Figure 2 Multiple first transparent colors 22 are provided, and the first transparent colors 22 are arranged in an array along the z direction on the mounting part 21; the LED lights 32 are arranged in a matrix on the PCB board 31; thus, the first transparent colors 22 are correspondingly set with a row of LED lights 32, so that the light intensity of the lamp remains stable while ensuring the diversity of light.

[0037] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
