Description

A vehicle headlight cleaning structure Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle headlight cleaning technology, and in particular to a vehicle headlight cleaning structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, automobiles have become an indispensable means of transportation in people's daily lives. As a crucial safety component in the process of driving, the headlights' illumination effect is directly related to driving safety. Whether in the bright light of day or the darkness of night, clear and good headlight illumination can help drivers to promptly detect road conditions, obstacles, and other vehicles, thereby making accurate judgments and taking appropriate actions.

[0003] During vehicle operation, headlights inevitably accumulate various types of dirt, especially in adverse weather conditions such as mud splashing in the rain or snow covering the headlights, where dirt buildup on the headlight surface becomes even more severe.

[0004] To promptly remove dirt from the headlight surface, existing technologies include headlight cleaning devices installed on the vehicle body. For example, the invention patent with publication number CN110920570B discloses a car headlight cleaning device that includes a water spray cleaning component, an air jet cleaning component, and an ultrasonic vibration component, which work together to clean the dirt from the headlight surface.

[0005] The aforementioned technical solution mounts the water spray cleaning component, air spray cleaning component, and ultrasonic vibration component all on a fixed base. The ultrasonic vibration component vibrates the cleaning water and air to improve the cleaning effect. However, there is a distance between the nozzle and the headlight, and the vibration effect of the cleaning water and air attenuates before it reaches the headlight surface, resulting in a less than ideal cleaning effect from this technical solution.

[0039] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0040] This utility model discloses a vehicle headlight cleaning structure, which includes a bumper 1, a headlight 2, a washer 3, and an ultrasonic vibrator 4, which are installed on the vehicle body to achieve real-time cleaning of the headlight 2.

[0041] Both the bumper 1 and the headlight 2 are fixedly mounted on the vehicle body, as shown in Figure 1. The bumper 1 is provided with a receiving groove 101, and the headlight 2 is located in the receiving groove 101. The outer surfaces of the two are continuously arranged to enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle body.

[0042] The washer 3 is fixedly installed on the bumper 1. The washer 3 is provided with a spray hole 301, which is connected to the cleaning medium generating device. The spray hole 301 is aimed at the headlight 2. When the cleaning medium generating device outputs the cleaning medium, the cleaning medium is sprayed along the spray hole 301 onto the surface of the headlight 2, thereby cleaning the surface of the headlight 2.

[0043] The ultrasonic vibrator 4 is fixedly installed on the headlight 2. The ultrasonic vibrator 4 can vibrate, thereby causing the headlight 2 to vibrate. This vibration method can not only shake off some of the dirt on the surface of the headlight 2, but also enhance the cleaning ability of the headlight 2 in conjunction with the cleaning medium, ensuring the cleanliness of the headlight 2.

[0044] The ultrasonic vibrator 4 has a small amplitude, which is unlikely to affect the installation of the headlight 2. At the same time, a shock-absorbing pad is provided between the headlight 2 and the bumper 1, and a corresponding shock-absorbing and buffering structure, such as a rubber gasket, is also provided at the connection between the headlight 2 and the vehicle body. This can prevent the vibration of the ultrasonic vibrator 4 from affecting the fixation of the headlight 2.

[0045] As shown in Figure 5, multiple ultrasonic vibrators 4 are provided. Multiple ultrasonic vibrators 4 are used to synchronously vibrate the vehicle headlight 2, thereby improving its cleaning ability.

[0046] As shown in Figure 5, the vehicle lamp 2 includes a lamp holder 21 and a lamp cover 22. The lamp holder 21 is the supporting structure of the vehicle lamp 2 and is fixed to the vehicle body. The lamp cover 22 is made of transparent glass or plastic and is fixedly mounted on the lamp holder 21 and located in the receiving groove 101 to protect the bulb inside the lamp holder 21. When cleaning the vehicle lamp 2, the lamp cover 22 is the main part to be cleaned.

[0047] The ultrasonic vibrator 4 includes a mounting base 41, an ultrasonic transducer 42, and a buffer pad 43. As the connection between the lamp holder 21 and the vehicle body is relatively strong, as shown in Figure 6, the mounting base 41 is fixedly mounted on the lamp holder 21, and the ultrasonic transducer 42 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 41 to ensure the strong connection between the ultrasonic vibrator 4 and the vehicle lamp 2.

[0048] As shown in Figure 6, a buffer pad 43 is abutted between the ultrasonic transducer 42 and the lamp cover 22. The buffer pad 43 is made of energy-absorbing materials such as silicone or rubber, which can protect the lamp cover 22 and prevent the ultrasonic transducer 42 from squeezing and damaging the side wall of the lamp cover 22. Of course, the buffer pad 43 has relatively high hardness and will not prevent the propagation of ultrasonic vibration, ensuring that the lamp cover 22 can vibrate.

[0049] As shown in Figure 7, the lamp holder 21 includes a rear shell 211 and a pull ring 212, and the lamp shade 22 includes a cover plate 221 and a latch 222. The pull ring 212 is fixedly mounted on the rear shell 211, the cover plate 221 is abutted against the rear shell 211 and located within the receiving groove 101, and the latch 222 is fixedly mounted on the cover plate 221 and engages with the pull ring 212. Both the rear shell 211 and the pull ring 212 are made of plastic and can undergo a certain degree of deformation. This not only enables a detachable connection between the lamp shade 22 and the lamp holder 21, but also reduces the impact of vibration on the connection strength between the two.

[0050] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, a hidden hole 102 is provided on the bumper 1. The washer 3 includes a telescopic rod 31, an output pipe 32, a hidden plate 33, a nozzle 34, and an input pipe 35. The telescopic rod 31 is fixedly installed on the bumper 1, the output pipe 32 is fixedly installed on the output end of the telescopic rod 31, the hidden plate 33 is fixedly installed on the output pipe 32, and the nozzle 34 is fixedly installed on the hidden plate 33. The nozzle 34 is connected to the output pipe 32. When the output end of the telescopic rod 31 extends or retracts, it can drive the nozzle 34 to move to both sides of the bumper 1.

[0051] As shown in Figure 1, when the headlight 2 does not need to be cleaned, the telescopic rod 31 is used to move the nozzle 34 to the side of the bumper 1 closer to the vehicle body, thereby protecting the nozzle 34; as shown in Figure 2, when the headlight 2 needs to be cleaned, the telescopic rod 31 is used to move the nozzle 34 to the side of the bumper 1 away from the vehicle body, so that the nozzle 34 is aimed at the headlight 2 and the cleaning medium is sprayed onto the surface of the headlight 2.

[0052] The side of the concealed plate 33 away from the nozzle 34 is curved, as shown in Figure 1. When the nozzle 34 moves to the side of the bumper 1 close to the vehicle body, the side of the concealed plate 33 away from the nozzle 34 is flush with the bumper 1, and the concealed plate 33 blocks the concealed hole 102, thereby achieving the aesthetics of the vehicle body and improving the protection effect of the nozzle 34.

[0053] As shown in Figure 2, multiple nozzles 34 are provided. The cleaning medium is sprayed simultaneously by multiple nozzles 34 to improve its cleaning performance. The headlight 2 is relatively large. In order to adapt to the length of the headlight 2, the multiple nozzles 34 can be arranged in a divergent manner to increase the spray range of the cleaning medium.

[0054] The input pipe 35 is installed on the vehicle body. One end of the input pipe 35 is connected to the output pipe 32, and the other end is connected to the cleaning medium supply device. When the cleaning medium is started, the cleaning medium is sprayed out along the input pipe 35, the output pipe 32 and the nozzle 34 in sequence.

[0055] As shown in Figure 4, the input pipe 35 includes an electromagnetic reversing valve 351, an air pipe 352, and a water pipe 353. The electromagnetic reversing valve 351 is equipped with two inlet pipes 302 and one outlet pipe 303, which is the prior art. The two inlet pipes 302 and the outlet pipe 303 are connected. The electric baffle inside the electromagnetic reversing valve 351 can block the two inlet pipes 302 respectively, thereby achieving the alternating connection effect between the two inlet pipes 302 and the outlet pipe 303. It can also block the two inlet pipes 302 at the same time to shut down the cleaner 3. Air pipe 352 and water pipe 353 are connected to air supply equipment and water supply equipment respectively, and air pipe 352 and water pipe 353 are connected to two inlet pipes 302 respectively. When the electromagnetic reversing valve 351 connects air pipe 352 to output pipe 32, air is ejected from nozzle 34 to clean the headlight 2. When the electromagnetic reversing valve 351 connects water pipe 353 to output pipe 32, water is ejected from nozzle 34 to clean the headlight 2.

[0056] This washer 3 uses air cleaning and water cleaning to wash the headlights 2. Combined with the ultrasonic vibrator 4 to vibrate the headlights 2, it can effectively improve the cleaning effect of the headlights 2 and keep the headlights 2 clean.

[0057] The telescopic rod 31 preferably adopts an electric telescopic cylinder to improve its ease of operation and adapt to the working conditions of the vehicle body.

[0058] The method of using the vehicle headlight cleaning structure of this utility model is as follows:

[0059] When it is necessary to clean the headlight 2, first use the telescopic rod 31 to move the nozzle 34 to the side of the bumper 1 away from the vehicle body and align the nozzle 34 with the headlight 2. Then, use the electromagnetic reversing valve 351 to connect the air pipe 352 or water pipe 353 to the output pipe 32, spray the corresponding cleaning medium onto the surface of the headlight 2, and at the same time start the ultrasonic transducer 42 to vibrate the headlight 2.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
