Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of taxi parts technology, and in particular to a three-claw suspension mounting structure for an empty vehicle light. Background Technology
[0002] In taxi operations, the "vacant" light is an important component indicating the vehicle's passenger status. Its installation's sturdiness, convenience, and reliability directly affect the normal operation of the taxi and driving safety.
[0003] Currently, the installation of empty vehicle lights mainly faces the following problems:
[0004] 1. Direct fixing with screws or bolts requires drilling holes inside the vehicle and using screws or bolts with washers and nuts for fixing. This method of installation is cumbersome, requires professional tools and a long time; disassembly, repair or replacement of lights is equally troublesome, and repeated disassembly and assembly can easily cause the mounting holes to enlarge, affecting the fixing strength and causing permanent damage to the vehicle;
[0005] 2. Strong magnetic adsorption type: It uses strong magnets to adhere to the vehicle interior. Although installation and removal are relatively quick, it needs to be installed in a place where it can be adsorbed, or an additional magnet needs to be installed in the vehicle interior. When the vehicle is traveling at high speed, experiencing severe bumps, or undergoing rapid acceleration or deceleration, there is a risk that the vehicle light may accidentally fall off, posing a certain driving safety risk.
[0006] 3. Adhesive-bonded type: Using strong double-sided tape or structural adhesive, it is easy to install initially, but has poor long-term reliability. The adhesive is prone to aging and failure under extreme temperatures (sunlight and cold), causing the vehicle light to fall off; disassembly is difficult and it is easy to leave adhesive residue that is hard to clean.
[0007] Therefore, a highly reliable, easy-to-install and maintain, minimally damaging to vehicles, and versatile vehicle light mounting structure is needed. Utility Model Content
[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, achieve highly reliable installation of the vehicle light, improve the ease of installation and maintenance, and reduce damage to the vehicle, this application provides a three-claw suspension mounting structure for the vehicle light.
[0009] The technical solution for the three-claw suspension mounting structure for empty vehicle lights provided in this application is as follows.
[0010] A three-claw suspension mounting structure for a vehicle light includes a light frame, on which a light body is mounted, and a mounting plate. One side of the mounting plate has claws, including a first claw, a second claw, and a third claw. The first claw is slidably disposed at one end of the mounting plate along a direction approaching or away from the mounting plate, the second claw is slidably disposed on one side of the mounting plate along a direction approaching or away from the mounting plate, and the third claw is slidably disposed on the other side of the mounting plate along a direction approaching or away from the mounting plate. The other side of the mounting plate has a sliding claw that slidably engages with the light frame. The light body is rotatably mounted on the light frame via a rotating shaft.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the three clamps allow for installation inside the vehicle. These clamps are movable, allowing for adjustment of size and tightness, thus improving applicability. The clamping method is simple and easy to operate, ensuring stable and reliable installation. The sliding clamps allow for adjustment of the relative position between the mounting plate and the lamp holder, thereby adjusting the lamp body's position. This improves the lamp body's adjustability and applicability, and also reduces obstruction to passengers. The lamp body's rotating mounting on the lamp holder facilitates driver operation, enabling timely changes in vehicle passenger load.
[0012] Optionally, a first mounting portion is provided at one end of the mounting plate facing upwards, and a first long slot is provided on the first mounting portion along the direction close to or away from the mounting plate, and the first claw is connected to the first long slot by screw A.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first chuck can be adjusted along the direction of approaching or moving away from the mounting plate through the setting of the first long slot, so as to be suitable for different clamping conditions, and can be tightened and fixed by screw A. The operation is convenient, stable and reliable, and has strong applicability.
[0014] Optionally, an L-shaped plate A is connected to one side of the mounting plate by a screw B. A second long slot is provided on the L-shaped plate A along the direction close to or away from the mounting plate, and the second claw is connected to the second long slot by a screw C.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the second claw can be adjusted along the direction of approaching or moving away from the mounting plate through the setting of the second long slot, thus adapting to different clamping conditions, and is fixed by tightening screw C. The operation is convenient, stable and reliable, and has strong applicability.
[0016] Optionally, a third long slot is provided on the other side of the mounting plate, and the L-shaped plate B is connected to the third long slot by screw D. A fourth long slot is provided on the L-shaped plate B along the direction close to or away from the mounting plate, and the third claw is connected to the fourth long slot by screw E.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the L-shaped plate B can be adjusted in position by setting the third long slot and tightened and fixed by screw D; the third claw can be adjusted along the direction of approaching or moving away from the mounting plate by setting the fourth long slot, so as to be suitable for different clamping conditions, and is tightened and fixed by screw E. The operation is convenient, stable and reliable, and has strong applicability.
[0018] Optionally, all the claws are L-shaped and have hook-shaped ends.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the L-shaped design with a hook-shaped end makes it more secure during clamping and installation, which helps to improve installation reliability.
[0020] Optionally, a compression spring is provided on one side of the mounting plate, the lower section of the compression spring is connected to the mounting plate, the middle section of the compression spring is inclined towards the first claw, and the upper section of the compression spring extends towards the first claw.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the compression spring, the compression spring can provide a certain compression force during installation, which helps to improve the reliability of clamping installation.
[0022] Optionally, the sliding claw is connected to the mounting plate by screw F.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection is made with screw F, which is simple and reliable, and the detachable design facilitates replacement or maintenance.
[0024] Optionally, the lamp holder has a serrated edge on one side that engages with the sliding claw.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the sawtooth meshing helps to increase friction, preventing the two from easily slipping, thus helping to maintain their position and avoiding positional shifts during use.
[0026] Optionally, an assembly cavity is provided on the side of the lamp holder, the end of the rotating shaft is located in the assembly cavity, and the end of the rotating shaft is serrated. An insert slot is provided on the lamp holder, and a limiting spring is inserted into the insert slot. The limiting spring is located on the side of the rotating shaft, and a limiting protrusion is provided on the limiting spring to cooperate with the serration on the rotating shaft.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting spring is set so that the limiting protrusion can cooperate with the serrations on the rotating shaft to limit the rotation of the rotating shaft, thereby limiting the rotation of the lamp body and preventing the lamp body from rotating arbitrarily, which would affect the normal operation of the taxi. In addition, the limiting spring is insertable. Generally, when a taxi is in operation, the lamp body needs to be rotated frequently to change the passenger carrying status. Therefore, the limiting spring is frequently rubbed. After reaching the end of its service life, it may have insufficient elasticity and need to be replaced. The insertable installation design makes replacement convenient.
[0028] Optionally, a sealing cover is provided on the assembly cavity on the side of the lamp holder, and a snap-fit protrusion is provided on the sealing cover, corresponding to a snap-fit recess on the lamp holder.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing cover can play a certain role in sealing the assembly cavity, preventing it from being exposed, which is beneficial to improving service life and aesthetics. The sealing cover is easy to install by snap-fit.
[0030] In summary, this application includes at least the following beneficial effects:
[0031] 1. This application utilizes a three-claw design, allowing for installation inside the vehicle. The claws are movable, allowing for adjustment of size and tightness, thus improving applicability. The clamping method is simple and easy to operate, ensuring stable and reliable installation. The sliding claws allow for adjustment of the relative position between the mounting plate and the lamp holder, thereby adjusting the lamp body's position. This enhances the lamp body's adjustability and applicability, and also reduces obstruction to drivers and passengers. The lamp body's rotating mounting on the lamp holder facilitates driver operation, enabling quick changes in vehicle passenger load. Installation and maintenance are convenient, with minimal damage to the vehicle and strong versatility.
[0032] 2. The claws of this application are all L-shaped and have hook-shaped ends, which makes them more secure during clamping and installation, and helps to improve installation reliability.
[0033] 3. This application provides a compression spring on the mounting plate. By providing the compression spring, a certain compression force can be provided during installation, which helps to improve the reliability of clamping installation.
[0034] 4. The lamp holder of this application has a serrated edge on the side that cooperates with the sliding claw. The serrated edge helps to increase friction, preventing the two from sliding easily, thus helping to maintain the position and avoiding positional deviation during use.
[0035] The rotating shaft of this application features a serrated end and an insert slot on the lamp holder. A limiting spring is inserted into the insert slot, and the limiting spring has a limiting protrusion that engages with the serrations on the rotating shaft. Through the limiting spring, the limiting protrusion engages with the serrations on the rotating shaft, restricting the rotation of the shaft and thus limiting the rotation of the lamp body. This prevents the lamp body from rotating arbitrarily and affecting the normal operation of the taxi. Furthermore, the limiting spring is insert-type. Since taxis are typically in operation and the lamp body frequently needs to rotate to change passenger carrying status, the limiting spring undergoes frequent friction. After reaching its service life, it may lose elasticity and require replacement. The insert-type installation design facilitates easy replacement. Attached Figure Description
