Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 Description of a vehicle headlight trim 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present utility model.

[0030] It is understood that the vehicle light decorative part 100 according to the present utility model embodiment can be applied to vehicles such as cars and motorcycles.

[0031] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a vehicle headlight trim 100 includes: a light-transmitting element 10, a light-shielding film layer 20, and a colored semi-permeable film layer 30. The light-transmitting element 10 includes a light-incoming surface 11 and a light-outgoing surface 12 facing away from each other. The light-transmitting element 10 is used to guide light in and out.

[0032] A light-shielding film layer 20 is disposed on the light-incoming surface 11 of the light-transmitting element 10, and the light-shielding film layer 20 has a perforated area 21 for light transmission. Here, the light-shielding film layer 20 is used to block light and prevent light from passing through. However, the perforated area 21 on it can transmit light, and the perforated area 21 on the light-shielding film layer 20 can selectively block incident light. Therefore, by adjusting the position and shape of the perforated area 21, the position of the transmitted light and the pattern formed can be controlled.

[0033] Specifically, when the headlights are illuminated, the light from the light source 200 can only enter the light-transmitting component 10 through the hollowed-out area 21 on the light-shielding film layer 20 and exit from the light-emitting surface 12, forming a specific light pattern. This gives the headlight decorative component 100 a sense of shape and design when illuminated. When the headlights are off, the headlight decorative component 100 appears no different from its original appearance. In this way, the headlight decorative component 100 presents two different appearances when illuminated and when not illuminated. Applying this headlight decorative component 100 to headlights can enhance the headlights' aesthetic appeal.

[0034] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 The hollowed-out area 21 can be a special pattern, design, or logo to achieve different visual effects. When the hollowed-out area 21 is a pattern, it can enhance the artistic feel and visual appeal of the headlight trim 100. When the hollowed-out area 21 is a logo, the headlight trim 100 serves both decorative and informational purposes, further enhancing the vehicle's styling and design.

[0035] A colored semi-permeable film layer 30 is at least partially disposed on the light-emitting surface 12 of the light-transmitting element 10. Here, the colored semi-permeable film layer 30 is used to adjust the color of the light emitted from the light-transmitting element 10. Specifically, the colored semi-permeable film layer 30 has a certain color saturation and light transmission characteristics, and can change the color of the emitted light, thereby enhancing the visual recognition and artistic effect of the light emitted when the headlight is turned on.

[0036] Alternatively, the colored semi-permeable film layer 30 can be a blue semi-permeable film layer, a purple semi-permeable film layer, or a semi-permeable film layer of other colors, so that the headlights present the corresponding color effect when they are turned on.

[0037] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the light-shielding film layer 20 and the colored semi-permeable film layer 30 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the light-transmitting element 10, which can reduce mutual interference between the two, facilitate processing, and improve the stability and optical performance of the two film layers.

[0038] In summary, the headlight trim 100 maintains a consistent appearance when off by placing a light-shielding film layer 20 on the light-incoming surface 11 of the light-transmitting component 10 and controlling the light entry path using the hollowed-out area 21. When illuminated, light enters only through the hollowed-out area 21 and exits through the light-transmitting component 10, forming a specific light pattern. This achieves different visual effects for the headlight trim 100 in illuminated and non-illuminated states, enhancing its design appeal. By placing a colored semi-transparent film layer 30 on the light-emitting surface 12, the color of the emitted light can be adjusted, further enhancing the design appeal and recognizability of the headlight trim 100.

[0039] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the headlight trim 100 has a colored semi-permeable film layer 30 that completely covers the light-emitting surface 12 of the light-transmitting component 10. This ensures that the entire light-emitting area has a consistent color when the headlight is illuminated. It also facilitates processing. Since the colored semi-permeable film layer 30 covers the entire light-emitting surface 12 of the light-transmitting component 10, the colored semi-permeable film layer 30 can be a full-surface sprayed coating or an adhesive layer, which improves production efficiency while reducing manufacturing complexity.

[0040] Meanwhile, the vertical projections of the light-shielding film layer 20 and the hollowed-out area 21 onto the light-emitting surface 12 are both located within the colored semi-permeable film layer 30. This prevents light from passing through unexpected areas, ensuring clear light patterns and well-defined boundaries.

[0041] It is worth noting that when the light source 200 is lit, the light enters the light-transmitting component 10 through the hollow area 21 and forms a specific light pattern by the light-emitting surface 12. In addition, the light also propagates along the interior of the light-transmitting component 10 to the side surface between the light-inlet surface 11 and the light-emitting surface 12, thereby forming lateral light emission. In order to improve the consistency of the headlight trim 100 after being lit, in some optional embodiments, the light-transmitting component 10 also includes an outer peripheral surface connecting the light-inlet surface 11 and the light-emitting surface 12, and a colored semi-permeable film layer 30 is provided on the outer peripheral surface.

[0042] In this embodiment, by providing a colored semi-permeable film layer 30 in the side light-emitting area, the side light-emitting surface and the light-emitting surface 12 are kept in harmony in terms of color and brightness, thus avoiding visual interference caused by local bright light.

[0043] Alternatively, the colored semi-permeable membrane layer 30 may be a sprayed paint layer.

[0044] Because the thickness and color concentration of the paint layer can be controlled, the color of the emitted light can be controlled while ensuring light transmittance. Specifically, users can adjust the light transmittance and color of the colored semi-transparent film layer 30 by adjusting spraying parameters, such as film thickness and pigment ratio, to meet different color requirements.

[0045] Compared to other processing methods, spray painting offers lower costs and greater adaptability, making it suitable for uniform coating of complex surfaces (such as curved surfaces), which helps improve production efficiency and product consistency. Furthermore, the spray-painted layer exhibits strong adhesion and good weather resistance, further enhancing the durability of the vehicle headlight trim 100.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the thickness of the colored semi-permeable membrane layer 30 is 12µm-16µm.

[0047] By controlling the thickness of the colored semi-permeable membrane layer 30, the light transmittance can be effectively adjusted, avoiding problems such as reduced light transmittance due to excessive thickness of the colored semi-permeable membrane layer 30, or light color and poor covering power due to excessive thinness of the colored semi-permeable membrane layer 30, thereby achieving control over light transmittance.

[0048] Specifically, the thickness of the colored semi-permeable membrane layer 30 can be 12um, 13um, 14um, 15um, 16um, etc.

[0049] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the light-shielding film layer 20 of the vehicle headlight trim 100 is a paint layer or a coating layer.

[0050] In some technical solutions, the light-shielding film layer 20 is a coating layer. The coating layer can be a vacuum evaporation coating layer or a magnetron sputtering coating layer. The coating layer allows for precise control of the film thickness to ensure high light-shielding effect while maintaining a certain structural strength and durability. The coating layer also has good adhesion and environmental stability, making it suitable for light-transmitting components 10 with complex shapes.

[0051] In some other technical solutions, the light-shielding film layer 20 is a paint layer. The paint layer can adapt to light-transmitting components 10 of different shapes, ensuring that the entire light-incoming surface 11 is uniformly covered and ensuring the light-shielding effect. When the light-shielding film layer 20 is a paint layer, the light-emitting surface 12 of the light-transmitting component 10 needs to be shielded and protected during the painting process to prevent paint mist from adhering to the light-emitting surface 12 and to ensure the consistency of the headlight decorative component 100.

[0052] Furthermore, when the light-shielding film layer 20 is a paint layer, the thickness of the paint layer is 20um-30um; for example, the thickness of the light-shielding film layer 20 is 20um, 22um, 25um, 26um, 28um, 30um, etc. Such a thickness range can achieve good light-shielding effect and ensure that the light-shielding film layer 20 has durable adhesion.

[0053] Alternatively, when the light-shielding film layer 20 is a coating layer, the thickness of the coating layer is 60nm-80nm.

[0054] It is worth noting that the light-shielding film layer 20 can be made of different materials, such as a painted layer or a metal film layer, depending on the actual needs. Due to the different characteristics of the material layers, their corresponding thickness ranges also vary.

[0055] Specifically, when the light-shielding film layer 20 is a metal film layer (such as an aluminum film layer, a chromium film layer, or a titanium film layer), the thickness of the light-shielding film layer 20 is 60nm-80nm. For example, the thickness of the light-shielding film layer 20 can be 60nm, 65nm, 70nm, 75nm, 80nm, etc. This thickness range can achieve good light-shielding effect while ensuring that the light-shielding film layer 20 has durable adhesion.

[0056] Specifically, the hollow area 21 is a laser-engraved pattern structure formed on the light-shielding film layer 20.

[0057] As is known, the laser engraving structure uses a laser beam to locally remove material from the surface of the light-shielding film layer 20, thereby forming the desired pattern or logo. In this embodiment, the laser engraving structure can utilize the high precision of the laser to engrave a hollow area 21 on the light-shielding film layer 20 that is consistent with the shape of the preset pattern or logo and has clear boundaries. This ensures that when the headlight is lit, the light can pass through the light-shielding film layer 20 as preset, so that the headlight decorative part 100 presents the expected pattern or logo, effectively enhancing the exquisiteness of the headlight decorative part 100.

[0058] According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle lamp module includes: a lamp holder, a light source 200 pieces, a lamp cover, and a vehicle lamp decorative piece 100. The light source 200 pieces are disposed on the lamp holder. The lamp cover is connected to the lamp holder and covers the light source 200 pieces; the vehicle lamp decorative piece 100 is disposed on the lamp holder, and the lamp cover covers the vehicle lamp decorative piece 100.

[0059] In the above technical solution, the light source 200 is mounted on the lamp holder and serves as the light source 200 for the vehicle lamp. The lamp cover is connected to the lamp holder and covers the outside of the light source 200, serving as protection and optical guidance; the vehicle lamp decorative part 100 is set on the lamp holder and located in the optical path of the light source 200, and the lamp cover also covers the vehicle lamp decorative part 100.

[0060] It is worth noting that the specific type of vehicle to which the headlight module is applied in this application is not limited. For example, the headlight module can be applied to fuel vehicles, natural gas vehicles, or new energy vehicles. New energy vehicles can be pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, solar electric vehicles, gas fuel vehicles (e.g., hydrogen engine vehicles), or biofuel vehicles (e.g., vehicles powered by ethanol, biodiesel, etc.). The headlight module of this embodiment achieves different visual effects when the headlight module is lit and not lit by using a headlight decorative component 100. This headlight decorative component 100 is integrated between the lamp holder and the lamp cover, located in the optical path of the light source 200, and can enhance the design of the entire vehicle headlight module without changing the basic structure of the lamp.

[0061] Specifically, when the headlights are off, the headlight trim 100 has a simple and uniform appearance, and the light-emitting surface 12 is consistent. When the headlights are on, light enters the light-transmitting component 10 through the hollow area 21 on the light-shielding film layer 20, and then passes through the colored semi-transparent film layer 30 before being output in a specific color, so that the headlight module displays a colored pattern or logo effect.

[0062] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle light module includes: the vehicle light decorative part 100 is strip-shaped or ring-shaped and is disposed along the edge of the lamp cover.

[0063] In the off-center state, the headlight trim pieces 100 are distributed along the edge of the lamp cover to create a consistent appearance. When the headlight module is illuminated, the trim pieces 100 are distributed along the edge, forming a continuous light strip effect, enhancing the visual appeal of the entire headlight module. Therefore, the headlight module offers different visual experiences in both illuminated and off-center states, improving the design aesthetics of the headlight module.
