Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and in particular to a concealed turn signal. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of autonomous and intelligent driving technologies, the demands on automotive lighting systems are constantly evolving. Traditional turn signals and various driving indicator lights (such as lane departure warning, autonomous driving status, blind spot warning, etc.) are usually independent lights or signal display devices, resulting in fragmented designs, complex interfaces, and hindering overall aesthetics and control integration. To improve the intelligence level of vehicles and the overall interactive experience, the industry is beginning to trend towards integrated lighting designs that combine multiple lights (including turn signals, driving status indicator lights, and driver assistance lights) into a single unit.
[0003] Currently, the automatic driving indicator light and turn signal are combined into one unit, but the two lights are designed independently. This means the turn signal is in a separate space, resulting in poor concealment and requiring more space and cost to install and manufacture both lights, leading to higher costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a concealed turn signal for ease of use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a concealed turn signal. By integrating the automatic driving light bulb and the turn signal bulb into a single integrated light fixture, the space requirements of the car's rearview mirror are reduced, while also shortening the development cycle and lowering costs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A concealed turn signal includes a lamp body with a placement groove on one side inside the lamp body. A circuit board with LED beads is bolted into the placement groove. An outer edge semi-enclosed section is provided on the outer side of the upper surface of the lamp body. A lamp cover is embedded in the inner side of the outer edge semi-enclosed section. The lamp cover is fixed to the lamp body by ultrasonic welding. A slot is provided on one side of the upper surface of the lamp cover. Foam is embedded in the slot. A hook-shaped plate is provided on one side of the lower surface of the foam and is engaged with the lamp cover by the hook-shaped plate. A light-transmitting cover is provided on the outer wall of the lamp cover near the side of the circuit board with LED beads. Mounting blocks are fixedly provided on both sides of the lower surface of the lamp body. Each of the two mounting blocks has a mounting hole.
[0007] Furthermore, both the lampshade and the lamp body are made using monochrome injection molding.
[0008] Furthermore, the circuit board with LEDs is equipped with two amber LEDs and two blue-green LEDs.
[0009] Furthermore, the lampshade is made of PMMA material.
[0010] Furthermore, the lamp body is made of ABS material.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This utility model proposes a concealed turn signal, which integrates the autonomous driving indicator and the side turn signal into one vehicle light fixture. This changes the common two-independent light layout on the market, integrating two functions into one. It includes both autonomous driving indication and turn signal functions. Since the turn signal and the autonomous driving indicator are installed in the same space and operate independently, the turn signal is not only perfectly hidden, but also connected to the lamp cover and lamp body by vibration friction welding. This allows only one light fixture to be installed during installation and use, making disassembly and maintenance more convenient. The design is ingenious, the structure is simple, and it reduces the space requirements of the car's rearview mirror. Attached Figure Description
[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the axonal structure proposed in this utility model.
[0014] Legend:
[0015] 1. Foam; 2. Lampshade; 3. Circuit board with LED beads; 4. Lamp body; 5. Light-transmitting cover; 6. Placement slot; 7. Mounting block; 8. Hook plate; 9. Card slot; 10. Outer edge semi-enclosure. Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides an embodiment of a concealed turn signal, including a lamp body 4. A placement groove 6 is provided on one side of the lamp body 4. A circuit board 3 with LED beads is installed in the placement groove 6 by bolts. An outer edge semi-enclosure 10 is provided on the outer edge of the upper surface of the lamp body 4. A lamp cover 2 is embedded in the inner side of the outer edge semi-enclosure. The lamp cover 2 is fixed to the lamp body 4 by ultrasonic welding. A slot 9 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the lamp cover 2. Foam 1 is embedded in the slot 9. A hook plate 8 is provided on one side of the lower surface of the foam 1 and is snapped onto the lamp cover 2 by the hook plate 8. A light-transmitting cover 5 is provided on the outer wall of the lamp cover 2 near the side of the circuit board 3 with LED beads. Mounting blocks 7 are fixedly provided on both sides of the lower surface of the lamp body 4. Mounting holes are provided on both mounting blocks 7.
[0018] Specifically, the circuit board 3 with LED beads includes two circuits: an automatic driving light circuit and a turn signal circuit. Both circuits are controlled by the circuit board. In actual use, the automatic driving light is on when the automatic driving is started; when the turn signal is used during the automatic driving process, the automatic driving light is off and the turn signal is on. That is, the automatic driving light and the turn signal do not work at the same time.
[0019] The automatic driving indicator light source is a cyan-blue light source, and the turn signal light source is an amber-colored light source. The cyan-blue light source of the automatic driving indicator light source passes through the light-transmitting cover 5, and the light is refracted through the stripes on the inner surface of the light-transmitting cover 5 to meet regulatory requirements. The amber-colored light source of the turn signal light source passes through the light-transmitting cover 5, and the light is refracted through the stripes on the inner surface of the light-transmitting cover 5 to meet regulatory requirements.
[0020] The circuit board 3 with LEDs has two amber LEDs and two blue-green LEDs, which integrates the autonomous driving lights and turn signals into a single structure. The circuit board and LEDs are surface-mounted and assembled into the same integrated light fixture, thereby reducing the space requirements of the car's rearview mirror, shortening the development cycle, and reducing costs. The blue-green light source for the autonomous driving indication function and the amber light source for the turn signal function are both set on the same circuit board, and the switching between the two light sources is controlled by the signal input from the vehicle body.
[0021] Both the lampshade 2 and the lamp body 4 are made of single-color injection molding; this ensures that the lampshade 3 and the lamp body 4 have the same color and a smooth surface, improves the overall aesthetics, facilitates the unification of color and material, and helps to achieve a simple and unified product style.
[0022] Lampshade 2 is made of PMMA material;
[0023] Specifically, PMMA acrylic resin has high transparency and light transmittance, which can effectively diffuse light and improve lighting effect. It also has good UV resistance and weather resistance, making it suitable for outdoor or sun-exposed environments. It is easy to injection mold, making it convenient to manufacture complex lampshade shapes. It also has good impact resistance, is not easy to break, and provides better safety in use.
[0024] The lamp body 4 is made of ABS material; it can withstand certain working temperatures, adapt to various usage environments, has good resistance to most chemicals, extends product life, is suitable for injection molding processes, has high manufacturing efficiency, and can realize complex structural designs.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
