Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle mounting bracket technology, and in particular to a dual-side suspension mounting structure for vehicle lights. Background Technology

[0002] Taxi vacancy lights are important devices installed in taxis to indicate the vehicle's passenger status. Their main functions include visually distinguishing between "vacant" (light on, available for rides) and "carrying passengers" (light off or displaying a specific symbol, not currently accepting rides) statuses through light or text. They assist in nighttime operations and serve as a brand compliance identifier. Composed of a casing, LED indicator lights, and a control switch, they are linked to the in-vehicle meter, allowing drivers to switch statuses via operation. Designs vary by region; in China, they are often rectangular with "vacant" or "carrying passengers" markings, while internationally, New York typically uses a yellow "TAXI" light, and London uses "FORHIRE" or "ENGAGED." Today, vacancy lights are evolving towards intelligence (linking with ride-hailing platforms, integrating displays), low power consumption (compatible with new energy vehicles), and safety and compliance (anti-glare, impact-resistant). For passengers, they not only quickly identify vehicle status and confirm legality but also serve as evidence for complaints and oversight, making them a crucial indicator of supply and demand information in urban transportation.

[0003] With the diversification of taxi operation scenarios, some taxis choose to install the "vacant" light in the rearview mirror position to improve space utilization efficiency and passenger visibility. However, existing rearview mirror installation structures generally suffer from insecure fixing and are prone to loosening and falling off, affecting the normal display function of the "vacant" light during bumpy driving. In addition, traditional installation methods, such as pasting or drilling, can easily cause irreversible damage to the vehicle's interior, increasing vehicle maintenance costs. Designing an installation solution that does not damage the original interior structure while ensuring the "vacant" light is stable, reliable, and adaptable to complex road conditions has become a key challenge that urgently needs to be overcome in the field of taxi equipment technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This device provides a dual-side suspension mounting structure for vehicle headlights, the specific implementation of which is as follows:

[0005] A dual-side suspension mounting structure for a vehicle's unoccupied light, comprising:

[0006] Backplate for mounting the empty vehicle light;

[0007] The upper and lower sides of the back plate are respectively provided with sliding seats and fixed seats. The sliding part of the sliding seat and the back plate is provided with a locking key, which is used to lock the distance between the sliding seat and the fixed seat.

[0008] The claws are installed on the sliding seat and the fixed seat respectively. The barbs of each claw face inward to the periphery of the rearview mirror. The back plate is provided with strain gauges that act on the back of the rearview mirror. The rearview mirror is vertically locked by the claws on both sides, and horizontally locked by the inward action of the barbs and strain gauges on the rearview mirror.

[0009] Based on the above technical solutions, a backplate structure with upper and lower double-sided claws was designed to achieve vertical and stable installation of the empty vehicle light on the rearview mirror. The linkage design of the claws and strain gauges further enhances the clamping force on the rearview mirror. By ensuring that the installation structure can maintain a reliable fastening state during dynamic driving, the stability of the installation system is effectively improved.

[0010] Preferably, the fixed seat and the sliding seat have the same structure, and both are angled.

[0011] The fixed base and the back plate are integrated. The sliding part of the back plate and the sliding base is provided with a waist-shaped through hole. The flat bottom of the corner of the sliding base is provided with a second mounting hole, and the waist-shaped through hole and the second mounting hole are connected by bolts.

[0012] Based on the above technical solutions, by integrating a single-sided claw into the sliding seat structure, it is made movable and adjustable. By utilizing the combination design of the waist-shaped through hole and the bolt, the vertical position adjustment of the sliding seat relative to the back plate is realized. The claw clamping position can be flexibly adjusted according to the size specifications of different rearview mirror models. The adaptive installation spacing effectively solves the problem of compatible installation of multiple rearview mirror specifications.

[0013] Preferably, the fixed seat and the sliding seat are connected to the jaws in the same way, and both are connected to the jaws through a threaded structure.

[0014] Preferably, taking the connection between the fixed base and the claw as an example, the upright part of the fixed base is provided with a guide groove, and the guide groove is provided with a first mounting hole for installing the screw; the claw includes a barb and a plate body that are integrated together, the plate body is provided with a threaded hole, the plate body is slidably connected to the guide groove, and the end of the screw is threaded to the threaded hole.

[0015] Preferably, the upright part of the sliding seat is connected to a screw through a third mounting hole, and the end of the screw is threaded into the threaded hole of the chuck.

[0016] Based on the above technical solutions, by constructing a sliding connection structure between the upright part of the bend and the claw, and configuring a rotatable and adjustable screw, the extension amount of the claw can be controlled and adjusted; by rotating the screw to drive the claw to move along the guide groove, the vertical fastening force during the installation of the empty vehicle light is dynamically adjusted, effectively improving the adaptability and reliability of the installation structure.

[0017] Preferably, the empty vehicle light has a back panel and a front panel at both ends, and the front panel is equipped with an LED light.

[0018] Preferably, the empty vehicle light is rotatably connected to the back plate via a U-shaped frame.

[0019] Preferably, the U-shaped frame and the back panel are detachably connected by bolts.

[0020] Preferably, it may also include a pressure regulating knob rotatably connected to the back plate. The strain gauge is composed of a base plate and an inclined strain section. The other end face of the pressure regulating knob is connected to the base plate. A positioning adjustment ring is provided on the back plate around the outer ring of the pressure regulating knob. The top surface of the positioning adjustment ring is sloped along its circumference, and the base plate abuts against the top surface of the positioning adjustment ring. The preload of the strain gauge is adjusted by changing the inclination of the base plate. A circular groove for accommodating the pressure regulating knob is provided on the back of the back plate. Several positioning holes are provided in the circular groove along its circumference. A push rod is radially slidable on the pressure regulating knob. The push rod is inserted into the positioning holes to achieve circumferential locking of the pressure regulating knob. In this structure, the circular groove can be set with a scale to indicate the inclination angle of the base plate at this location.

[0021] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. This utility model achieves vertical and stable installation of the empty vehicle light on the rearview mirror by setting a back plate with claws on both the upper and lower sides. After the claws are combined with the strain gauge, the clamping dimension with the rearview mirror is further improved, thus making the installation more stable. Moreover, this multi-dimensional clamping non-destructive installation eliminates the damage to the original structure inside the vehicle.

[0023] 2. This utility model achieves vertical adjustment of the sliding seat relative to the back plate mounting position by setting a waist-shaped through hole and bolts, so as to accommodate rearview mirrors of different models and sizes and achieve compatible installation;

[0024] 3. This utility model has a simple structure. By setting a sliding connection between the angled upright part and the claw, and by rotating the screw, the extension amount of the claw can be adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the vertical fastening force when the empty vehicle light is installed on the rearview mirror.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment discloses a dual-sided suspension mounting structure for a vehicle light, including a back plate 1 for mounting a vehicle light 7. The upper and lower sides of the back plate 1 are respectively provided with sliding seats 3 and fixed seats 2. A locking key is provided at the sliding point between the sliding seat 3 and the back plate 1. The locking key is used to lock the distance between the sliding seat 3 and the fixed seat 2. In this structure, claws 4 are respectively installed on the sliding seat 3 and the fixed seat 2. The upper and lower sides of the back plate 1 are provided with a pair of sliding seats 3 and fixed seats 2, that is, the vertical mounting and positioning of the back plate 1 on the rearview mirror 11 is achieved by the four claws 4.

[0047] The barbs 401 of each claw 4 face inward toward the periphery of the rearview mirror 11, and the back plate 1 is provided with strain gauges 8 acting on the back of the rearview mirror 11. The rearview mirror 11 is vertically locked by clamping it with the claws 4 on both sides, and horizontally locked by the inward action of the barbs 401 and strain gauges 8 on the rearview mirror 11. In this structure, the fixed seat 2 and the sliding seat 3 have the same structure, both of which are angled. The fixed seat 2 is integrated with the back plate 1. The sliding part of the back plate 1 and the sliding seat 3 is provided with a waist-shaped through hole 101. The flat bottom of the angled part of the sliding seat 3 is provided with a second mounting hole 301, and the waist-shaped through hole 101 and the second mounting hole 301 are connected by bolts.

[0048] The fixed seat 2 and the sliding seat 3 are connected to the claw 4 in the same way. Both are connected to the claw 4 through a threaded structure. Taking the connection between the fixed seat 2 and the claw 4 as an example, the fixed seat 2 has a guide groove 201 on its bent upright part, and the guide groove 201 has a first mounting hole 202 for installing the screw 5. The claw 4 includes a barb 401 and a plate 402 that are connected as one piece. The plate 402 has a threaded hole 403. The plate 402 is slidably connected to the guide groove 201, and the end of the screw 5 is threaded to the threaded hole 403. The bent upright part of the sliding seat 3 is connected to the screw 5 through the third mounting hole 302, and the end of the screw 5 is threaded to the threaded hole 403 of the claw 4.
