[0023] 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.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a turn signal structure that is easy to install, including: a turn signal frame 7, a lamp cover 1 is embedded in the front end of the turn signal frame 7, a decorative protective strip 4 is fixedly provided at the front end of the lamp cover 1, and a sealing rubber ring is provided between the lamp cover 1 and the turn signal frame 7.

[0025] Specifically, the lamp cover 1 is embedded in the front end of the turn signal frame 7, forming a protective shell for the internal lighting components. The decorative protective strip 4 serves both an aesthetic purpose and provides additional physical protection for the front end of the lamp cover 1. The sealing ring, based on the sealing properties of elastic materials such as rubber, uses its deformation to fill the gap between the lamp cover 1 and the turn signal frame 7. When the two are assembled, the sealing ring is compressed, eliminating channels for air and moisture to enter. The combination of the lamp cover 1 and the decorative protective strip 4 ensures both the aesthetic appearance of the turn signal and enhances its protective performance. The sealing ring effectively prevents rainwater and dust from entering the turn signal, avoiding damage to LED light components and other parts due to moisture and dust accumulation, thus improving the environmental adaptability and lifespan of the turn signal.

[0026] The mounting and engaging assembly located at the upper end of the turn signal frame 7 includes: a first mounting block 2 fixedly disposed on one side of the upper end of the turn signal frame 7; a first locking block 3 disposed near the first mounting block 2; the first locking block 3 being fixedly connected to the first mounting block 2; a second locking block 5 fixedly disposed at the upper end of the turn signal frame 7 near the middle position; and a second mounting block 6 fixedly disposed on the upper end of the turn signal frame 7 away from the first locking block 3.

[0027] Specifically, the first mounting block 2 and the second mounting block 6 serve as basic mounting components, and their positions are designed based on common installation spaces and force distributions. The first mounting block 2 is fixedly connected to the first locking block 3, forming a combined mounting structure. Screws and other connectors pass through the through holes in the mounting blocks and are fixed to the mounting location, achieving initial positioning. The first locking block 3 and the second locking block 5, based on the deformation recovery characteristics of elastic materials, undergo elastic deformation when pressed by external force. The locking protrusions at their ends can embed into the corresponding slots of the mounting location. When the external force is removed, the elastic material recovers its deformation, allowing the locking protrusions and slots to fit tightly. This multi-component combined mounting and locking assembly provides multiple installation methods to meet the needs of different installation scenarios. The combination of screw fixing and elastic locking ensures ease of installation and enhances the installation stability of the upper part of the turn signal frame 7 through multi-point fixing, distributing the force on the mounting location and avoiding loosening caused by excessive force at a single point.

[0028] The mounting and engaging assembly located at the lower end of the turn signal frame 7 includes: a third locking block 8 and a fifth locking block 11 respectively fixedly disposed on both sides of the lower end of the turn signal frame 7, and a third mounting block 9 and a fourth locking block 10 fixedly disposed at the lower end of the turn signal frame 7 near the middle position, wherein the third mounting block 9 and the fourth locking block 10 are fixedly connected.

[0029] Specifically, echoing the upper structure, the lower third mounting block 9 also achieves initial positioning through through holes and screws. The third locking block 8, fourth locking block 10, and fifth locking block 11 utilize the properties of elastic materials and engaging protrusions for locking and fixing. Their positional distribution is based on the principle of mechanical balance. The locking blocks on both sides and in the middle of the lower end interact with the mounting parts to form a stable triangular or polygonal support structure, ensuring stable support in all directions. The lower mounting and locking components further enhance the fixing effect of the lower end of the turn signal frame 7, working in conjunction with the upper components to form a stable overall structure after installation. The multi-locking block distribution design can effectively cope with external forces in different directions, such as vibrations and bumps during vehicle operation, greatly improving the stability and reliability of the turn signal after installation.

[0030] The lighting assembly located at the rear end of the turn signal frame 7 includes: a mounting frame 14 fixedly disposed on one side of the rear end of the turn signal frame 7, an LED light element being installed inside the mounting frame 14, and a power connection port 13 being provided at the rear end of the mounting frame 14.

[0031] Specifically, the mounting frame 14 serves as the carrier for the LED light element. Its shape and size are designed according to the specifications of the LED light element to ensure that the LED light element can be securely installed inside. The power connector 13, based on electrical connection principles, connects to the vehicle's electrical system through plugs, sockets, and other connection structures. When the vehicle's electrical system is powered on, current is transmitted to the LED light element through the power connector 13, causing it to emit light. The independent mounting frame 14 design facilitates the installation, removal, and maintenance of the LED light element, improving production and maintenance efficiency. The power connector 13 enables a quick and reliable connection between the turn signal and the vehicle's electrical system, ensuring a stable power supply to the LED light element, thereby ensuring that the turn signal can emit turn indication signals normally and stably.

[0032] Two inner reinforcing ribs 12 are fixedly installed on the side of the turn signal frame 7 away from the mounting frame 14;

[0033] Specifically, the inner reinforcing rib 12, based on the structural reinforcement principle in mechanics, changes the stress distribution of the frame by increasing the local material thickness and structural strength of the turn signal frame 7. Two inner reinforcing ribs 12 are symmetrically distributed on one side of the frame. When the turn signal is subjected to external forces, the inner reinforcing ribs 12 can disperse the stress, preventing deformation or breakage of the frame. The installation of the inner reinforcing ribs 12 significantly improves the overall strength and rigidity of the turn signal frame 7, enhances the turn signal's impact resistance, and maintains structural integrity even under large external forces or severe vibrations, further ensuring the safety of the internal components of the turn signal and extending its service life.

[0034] The first mounting block 2, the second mounting block 6 and the third mounting block 9 are all provided with through holes for installation. The first locking block 3, the second locking block 5, the third locking block 8, the fourth locking block 10 and the fifth locking block 11 are all made of elastic material and have locking protrusions at their ends.

[0035] Specifically, the through holes on the mounting block are for accommodating screws and other connectors. Based on the principle of mechanical connection, screws are tightened through the through holes to secure the turn signal frame 7 to the mounting part. The locking block, made of elastic material, has a locking protrusion at its end that mechanically engages with the groove on the mounting part. Utilizing the deformation and restoring force of the elastic material, the locking protrusion can tightly embed into the groove and remain fixed. The combination of the through holes and screws provides a stable and reliable fixing method, ensuring that the turn signal frame 7 will not easily loosen after installation. The elastic locking block and its locking protrusion structure simplify the installation process, allowing for quick installation without complex tools, while providing sufficient tightening force, ensuring a balance between ease of installation and stability.

[0036] Working Principle: During installation, firstly, the turn signal frame 7 is brought close to the mounting location. Using the through holes on the first mounting block 2, second mounting block 6 at the upper end, and third mounting block 9 at the lower end of the turn signal frame 7, screws and other connecting parts are used to initially fix the turn signal frame 7, achieving quick positioning. Next, utilizing the elastic properties and engaging protrusions of the first locking block 3, second locking block 5, third locking block 8, fourth locking block 10, and fifth locking block 11, the locking blocks are aligned with the corresponding slots or engaging structures on the mounting location. Pressing causes the locking blocks to elastically deform, and the engaging protrusions embed into the slots, completing the locking and fixing. This installation method ensures that the turn signal frame 7 is securely installed in the designated position.

[0037] When the turn signal is activated, the LED light element located in the mounting frame 14 at the rear end of the turn signal frame 7 is connected to the vehicle's electrical system via the power connector 13, thereby illuminating the light and providing a turn signal for vehicle operation. Simultaneously, the inner reinforcing ribs 12 on the turn signal frame 7 enhance the overall structural strength of the turn signal, while the sealing ring between the lamp cover 1 and the turn signal frame 7 effectively prevents dust, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the turn signal, protecting the LED light element and other components, and ensuring stable, reliable, and continuous operation of the turn signal.

[0038] 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.
