[0022] Please see Figure 1-3, An automotive license plate lamp with an anti-theft structure, including a lamp housing 1 and a bumper 2. The anti-theft structure is arranged on the side of the lamp housing 1. The anti-theft structure is divided into a claw 3 arranged on one side of the lamp housing 1 and an anti-theft rod 4 located inside the claw 3. The claw 3 is in contact with the bumper 2, and the end of the claw 3 inclines towards the lamp housing 1. Due to the extrusion of the bumper 2 on the claw 3, the claw 3 abuts against the outside of the lamp housing 1. Thus, by the mutual cooperation of the bumper 2 and the claw 3, the lamp housing 1 is fixed. When disassembling, a disassembly tool abuts against the claw 3 from the outside, the claw 3 deforms inward, the license plate lamp rotates clockwise, and the claw 3 partially disengages from the opening on the bumper 2. However, during the rotation process, the anti-theft rod 4 will interfere with the bumper 2, making it impossible for the license plate lamp to completely disengage from the opening of the bumper 2. Therefore, without disassembling the bumper 2, the license plate lamp cannot be taken off alone, which plays an anti-theft role.

[0023] The claw 3 is in a square shape with a hole in the middle, and the anti-theft rod 4 is arranged in the middle of the claw 3; this enables the anti-theft rod 4 to effectively interfere with the claw 3. When the anti-theft rod 4 is stuck by the bumper 2, it can ensure that the claw 3 cannot reset, which can achieve the anti-theft effect.

[0024] The lamp housing 1 is divided into an upper housing 11 and a bottom plate 12 arranged at the bottom of the upper housing 11. The bottom plate 12 is rectangular, and the anti-theft structure is arranged on one side of the upper housing 11; the bottom plate 12 is used for clamping in the vehicle body to install and position the lamp housing 1, and the bottom plate 12 can cooperate with the bumper 2 to prevent the lamp housing 1 from disengaging.

[0025] Plug pins 5 are arranged on the side of the upper housing 11; they are used for docking with the vehicle's wiring harness for power supply.

[0026] A bulb 6 is arranged inside the lamp housing 1; it is used for lighting.

[0027] A sealing gasket 7 is arranged on the surface of the bottom plate 12, and the bumper 2 is located between the sealing gasket 7 and the anti-theft rod 4; it plays a role in protecting the bottom plate 12 and preventing the bottom plate 12 from being damaged due to vibrations during vehicle driving.

[0028] A mask 8 is arranged inside the bottom plate 12; the mask 8 is clamped with the lamp housing 1 to seal the inside of the lamp housing 1.

[0029] A clamping block 9 is arranged on the surface of the lamp housing 1 near the claw 3, and the cross-section of the clamping block 9 is arrow-shaped; when the claw 3 is squeezed inward, the end of the claw 3 will fit on the surface of the clamping block 9, and the end of the claw 3 is clamped by the arrow-shaped groove on the surface of the clamping block 9, playing a role in fixing the lamp housing 1.

[0030] The claw 3 is divided into a spring piece 31 set on the lamp housing 1 and a pressing piece 32 set at the end of the spring piece 31. The pressing piece 32 fits into the bumper 2. The pressing piece 32 is bent towards the lamp housing 1 to facilitate fitting into the surface of the clip 9. At the same time, the outer surface of the pressing piece 32 is provided with striped grooves to increase the friction with the bumper 2, making the installation structure more secure.

[0031] The technical effect of this utility model is as follows: During disassembly, the disassembly tool presses against the claw 3 from the outside, causing the claw 3 to deform inward. The license plate light rotates clockwise, and the claw 3 partially disengages from the opening on the bumper 2. However, during the rotation, the anti-theft bar 4 interferes with the bumper 2, preventing the license plate light from being completely disengaged from the opening on the bumper 2. Therefore, without disassembling the bumper 2, the license plate light cannot be removed separately, thus achieving the anti-theft function.
