[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a B-pillar structure. The B-pillar structure includes: a first housing 1, a second housing 2, and an indicator light.

[0030] Specifically, the first housing 1 is installed inside the B-pillar to form a cavity between the first housing 1 and the B-pillar. An indicator light is installed within this cavity. The first housing 1 has several light-transmitting holes 11 through which the indicator light's light can pass. A millimeter-wave radar is installed outside the vehicle and communicates with the indicator light. The second housing 2 is installed on the outer surface of the first housing 1 and is a light-transmitting component. Compared to existing technologies, this B-pillar structure, by linking the indicator light with the millimeter-wave radar, can detect oncoming vehicles before opening the door while parked. The indicator light then signals the passage through the first and second housings, allowing passengers to determine whether it is safe to open the door. This effectively improves passenger safety when exiting the vehicle and prevents accidental collisions caused by oncoming vehicles.

[0031] Optionally, the B-pillar structure also includes an ambient lighting group 3 and a control module 4. Both the ambient lighting group 3 and the control module 4 are installed within the receiving cavity. The ambient lighting group 3 is electrically connected to the control module 4, and the control module 4 can control the ambient lighting group 3 to achieve various dynamic lighting effects such as gradient, flashing, and breathing. Specifically, in this embodiment, the ambient lighting group 3 is communicatively connected to the millimeter-wave radar. The ambient lighting group 3 replaces the indicator lights, and the ambient lighting group 3 forms a closed loop with the overall vehicle ambient lighting, enabling various dynamic lighting effects such as gradient, flashing, and breathing to enhance the atmosphere inside the vehicle and improve the visual experience for passengers. Simultaneously, when the millimeter-wave radar detects vehicles approaching from the front or rear, it uses light signals or audio prompts to alert passengers whether it is safe to open the door. The form and color of the light signals and the content of the audio prompts can be preset. Of course, in some other embodiments, the ambient lighting group 3 and the indicator lights can be set separately; this is not further limited here. Furthermore, the ambient lighting group 3 is an LED light.

[0032] Optionally, the B-pillar structure also includes a light-diffusing paper. In this embodiment, the light-diffusing paper is disposed on the surface of the ambient light assembly 3, which can make the light uniform, reduce glare, and provide a more comfortable lighting environment. Of course, in some other embodiments, the light-diffusing paper may cover several light-transmitting holes 11, which is not further limited here.

[0033] Optionally, the B-pillar structure also includes an interactive system, which is installed within the cavity and communicates with the control module 4. The interactive system can recognize interactive commands issued by passengers. Specifically, the B-pillar structure also includes an air conditioning system and a multimedia system. The interactive system communicates with both the air conditioning system and the multimedia system, allowing rear passengers to easily define the functions they need within the vehicle, such as adjusting the air conditioning temperature, controlling the multimedia system volume, and switching lighting modes, through surface touch or gesture recognition technology. This enables convenient interaction between passengers and the vehicle, improving the vehicle's intelligence level and passenger comfort.

[0034] Optionally, the first housing 1 is made of plastic. Specifically, by designing a light-transmitting cavity through the plastic structure, combined with the arrangement of LED lights and light-diffusing paper, a controllable B-pillar ambient lighting effect is achieved. This allows for precise control of parameters such as brightness, color, and dynamic effects of the light, in order to meet the atmosphere creation needs of different scenarios.

[0035] Optionally, the second housing 2 is made of leather. Specifically, it is made of translucent leather material with good light transmittance. When the built-in ambient lighting 3 is not lit, its appearance is consistent with the overall interior, maintaining the aesthetics and harmony of the vehicle interior decoration. At the same time, the surface of this material is easy to clean and has high durability, which can meet the cleaning and durability requirements of the vehicle interior during use.

[0036] Optionally, the second housing 2 is made of fabric. Specifically, the surface of the B-pillar structure is covered with fabric, through which the light projected by the ambient light group 3 shines through the structural pores formed by the fabric. When not illuminated, its appearance is consistent with the interior of the vehicle. Compared with translucent leather, it has advantages in terms of cost and process, providing a variety of material options for vehicles with different needs and positioning.

[0037] Optionally, the first housing 1 is provided with a first through hole 12, and the second housing 2 is provided with a second through hole 21. The first through hole 12 is directly opposite the second through hole 21, and both the first through hole 12 and the second through hole 21 are used to deploy the airbag. Specifically, the airbag can be smoothly deployed through the first through hole 12 and the second through hole 21, which can protect passengers in a timely manner in the event of a vehicle collision.

[0038] Optionally, a plurality of light-transmitting holes 11 are arranged in an array, with m rows in the horizontal direction and n columns in the vertical direction, where m and n are both integers greater than 1, which can realize a variety of dynamic light effects.

[0039] This utility model also provides a vehicle, including a frame and a millimeter-wave radar. The frame includes the B-pillar structure in the above embodiment. The millimeter-wave radar is connected to the frame and is communicatively connected to the indicator lights. The vehicle also includes other essential components that constitute a vehicle in the prior art.
