Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a vehicle lamp structure and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, headlight designs have become more diverse. Many vehicles are moving towards modular miniaturization of headlights to achieve unique lighting effects. This places higher demands on the structural optimization and spatial design of headlights.
[0003] In related technologies, the various components of vehicle lights are assembled and fixed using bolt connections to ensure reliable connections. However, bolt connections not only involve more assembled parts, making assembly time-consuming and complex, but also require more space in the vehicle light due to the need to provide assembly locations, resulting in poor space utilization of the vehicle light. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a vehicle lamp structure and vehicle, which aims to improve the connection method of the vehicle lamp structure. By eliminating the bolt connection structure, the assembly space required for the vehicle lamp structure is saved, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the vehicle lamp.
[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0006] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a vehicle lamp structure, which includes a first component and a second component. The first component has a snap-fit groove, and the second component has an elastic buckle on the side facing the first component. The second component can slide relative to the first component in a first direction. The elastic buckle can cooperate with the snap-fit groove to fix the first component and the second component relative to each other in the first direction. One of the first component and the second component has a first connecting protrusion, and the other of the first component and the second component has a first connecting hole. The first connecting protrusion can cooperate with the first connecting hole to fix the first component and the second component relative to each other in a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0007] The vehicle headlight structure provided in this application embodiment features a snap-fit groove on a first component and a corresponding elastic buckle on a second component facing the first component. The second component can slide relative to the first component until the elastic buckle engages with the snap-fit groove, thus achieving relative fixation of the first and second components along a first direction. Furthermore, the first and second components are respectively provided with a first connecting protrusion and a first connecting hole. During the sliding of the second component relative to the first component, the first connecting protrusion can extend into the first connecting hole, thereby achieving relative fixation of the first and second components along a second direction. This ensures that the first and second components will not detach in any direction, guaranteeing a stable connection. Therefore, the vehicle headlight structure provided in this application embodiment eliminates the bolt connection method used in related technologies. While maintaining the fixing effect, it eliminates the need for assembly positions for bolt connections, further saving space and facilitating miniaturization of the headlight design. It also reduces the number of parts and improves assembly efficiency. In addition, this connection method facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement; quick disassembly can be achieved by applying force in a specific direction, greatly reducing the difficulty and cost of after-sales maintenance.
[0008] In some embodiments, the first component has a first abutting surface, the second component has a second abutting surface, and when the elastic buckle and the snap-fit groove are in a snap-fit state, the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface abut against each other; the first connecting protrusion and the first connecting hole are respectively provided on the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface.
[0009] This design allows the first connecting protrusion to naturally extend into the first connecting hole after the elastic buckle is inserted into the locking groove, through the mutual contact between the two abutting surfaces. This design further simplifies the assembly process, reduces assembly difficulty, and ensures that the connection state between the first connecting protrusion and the first connecting hole matches the engagement state between the elastic buckle and the locking groove, improving the coordination between the two connection methods and ensuring the consistency of the connection state.
[0010] In some embodiments, the first component has a first sliding surface extending along a first direction, a snap-fit groove is disposed on the first sliding surface, and the second component has a second sliding surface, the second sliding surface is disposed facing the first sliding surface and is parallel to the first sliding surface, and an elastic snap-fit is disposed on the second sliding surface; the second sliding surface can be in contact with the first sliding surface so that the second component can slide relative to the first component along the first direction.
[0011] This design not only allows the movement of the second component to be positioned and guided by the cooperation of the two sliding surfaces, ensuring the stability of the sliding process, but also enables the second component to be positioned relative to the first component, allowing the first connecting protrusion on the first component to be precisely inserted into the first connecting hole.
[0012] In some embodiments, the first component includes a first base plate and two first side plates, one end face of each of the two first side plates is connected to both sides of the first base plate, and the other end face of each of the two first side plates forms a first sliding surface; the second component includes a second base plate and two second side plates, one end face of each of the two second side plates is connected to both sides of the second base plate, and the other end face of each of the two second side plates forms a second sliding surface; a snap-fit groove is formed on each first sliding surface, and an elastic buckle is formed on each second sliding surface.
[0013] This design not only allows the first and second components to snap together to form a cavity for housing the internal parts of the headlight structure, but also makes the fit between them more reliable, ensuring the stability of the sliding process.
[0014] In some embodiments, a first clearance groove is formed on the first side plate, and the first clearance groove extends along a first direction; when the second sliding surface is in contact with the first sliding surface, the elastic buckle is located in the first clearance groove, and the snap-fit groove is located at the bottom of the first clearance groove, thereby providing the elastic buckle with movement space and position.
[0015] In some embodiments, one of the first component and the second component is provided with a second connecting protrusion, and the other of the first component and the second component is provided with a second connecting hole. The second connecting protrusion can cooperate with the second connecting hole to fix the first component and the second component relative to each other along a second direction. The second component has a first end and a second end along a first direction. The first connecting protrusion is disposed near the first end, and the second connecting protrusion is disposed near the second end.
[0016] This configuration ensures that the first component and the second component are fixed at both ends in the first direction, thereby further guaranteeing the connection between the first component and the second component and preventing the second component from tilting up relative to the first component due to loose end connection.
[0017] In some embodiments, a second connecting protrusion is provided on a first component, and a second connecting hole is located on a second component; a second clearance groove is formed on a second side plate, the second clearance groove extends along a first direction, and a second connecting hole is formed on the groove wall of the second clearance groove along the first direction.
[0018] By setting a second clearance groove, the second connecting protrusion can be provided with a moving space and position, so that the second sliding surface can be in contact with the first sliding surface, allowing the second connecting protrusion to smoothly and unobstructedly extend into the second connecting hole.
[0019] In some embodiments, a second connecting protrusion is provided on a first component, and a second connecting hole is located on a second component; the first component further includes a connecting plate, which is attached to one side of a first side plate, and the second connecting protrusion is formed on the connecting plate.
[0020] The second connecting protrusion is formed by connecting plate, which can ensure the structural strength of the first component, i.e. the first side plate, and at the same time facilitate the forming of the second connecting protrusion. Compared with the method of directly setting the second connecting protrusion on the second side plate, the difficulty of structural forming is reduced and production cost control is beneficial.
[0021] In some embodiments, a guide groove is provided on one of the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface, and a guide bar is provided on the other of the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface. The guide groove extends along a first direction. The guide bar can be located in the guide groove and slide along the extension direction of the guide groove.
[0022] By setting guide bars and guide grooves, not only can the sliding guidance function of the first component and the second component along the first direction be realized, but more importantly, the cooperation between the guide bars and guide grooves can limit and fix the first component and the second component along the plane where the sliding surfaces on the two side plates are located. That is to say, when the second component slides relative to the first component along the first direction, the second component will not deviate or tilt towards the outside of the first component. This not only further ensures the smoothness and reliability of the sliding process, but also relatively fixes the first component and the second component along the plane where the sliding surfaces are located.
[0023] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a vehicle including the headlight structure described above; the first component is a decorative frame, and the second component is a heat sink housing.
[0024] The vehicle described in this application has the same beneficial effects as the aforementioned headlight structure, and will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0042] As mentioned in the background section, with the development of the automotive industry, more and more vehicle headlights are pursuing miniaturized module designs, which puts forward higher design requirements for headlight structural optimization and space design.
[0043] In related technologies, the components of the vehicle headlights are assembled and fixed by bolts. This assembly method requires more space for the headlights because it needs to provide assembly positions, resulting in poor space utilization of the headlights. Not only does it fail to achieve module miniaturization, but it also makes assembly time-consuming and complicated due to the large number of assembly parts.
[0044] Based on the above, the applicant of this application has proposed a technical solution in the embodiments of this application. Specifically, by improving the connection method of the vehicle lamp structure, the bolt connection structure is eliminated, saving the assembly space required by the vehicle lamp structure and the structural space occupied by the parts, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the vehicle lamp.
[0045] The above is the core idea of this application. The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0046] like Figures 1-5As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a vehicle lamp structure, which includes a first component 1 and a second component 2. The first component 1 has a snap-fit groove 11, and the second component 2 has an elastic buckle 21 on its side facing the first component 1. The second component 2 is slidable relative to the first component 1 along a first direction a, and the elastic buckle 21 on the second component 2 can engage with the snap-fit groove 11 to fix the first component 1 and the second component 2 relatively to each other along the first direction a.
[0047] Specifically, during the sliding of the second component 2 relative to the first component 1 along the first direction a, the elastic buckle 21 is oriented towards the first component 1. This means that the elastic buckle 21 will be compressed by the first component 1 during the sliding process, resulting in an elastic contraction state and a certain degree of compression deformation. As the sliding process continues, when the second component 2 slides to the position corresponding to the elastic buckle 21 and the locking groove 11, the elastic buckle 21 will return to its initial state due to the elastic restoring force, and then the elastic buckle 21 will be locked into the locking groove 11. Thus, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are engaged and connected through the elastic buckle 21 and the locking groove 11, thereby achieving relative fixation of the first component 1 and the second component 2 along the first direction a.
[0048] Since the elastic buckle 21 and the locking groove 11 only fix the first component 1 and the second component 2 along the first direction a, in order to ensure the fixing effect, a first connecting protrusion 12 is further provided on one of the first component 1 and the second component 2, and a first connecting hole 22 is provided on the other of the first component 1 and the second component 2. The first connecting protrusion 12 can cooperate with the first connecting hole 22 so that the first component 1 and the second component 2 are relatively fixed along the second direction b, and the second direction b is perpendicular to the first direction a.
[0049] The second component 2 can slide relative to the first component 1 until the first connecting protrusion 12 extends into the first connecting hole 22, so that the first component 1 and the second component 2 are relatively fixed along the second direction b. The first direction a and the second direction b are perpendicular to each other. It can be understood that since the first connecting protrusion 12 extends into the first connecting hole 22 during the movement of the second component 2 along the first direction a, that is, the opening of the first connecting hole 22 faces the first direction a, the first connecting protrusion 12 extending into the first connecting hole 22 cannot move relative to the first connecting hole 22 in a direction perpendicular to the opening direction of the first connecting hole 22. It can be seen that the second direction b is perpendicular to the opening direction of the first connecting hole 22.
[0050] During assembly, as the second component 2 slides relative to the first component 1 along the first direction a, the tactile and auditory feedback can indicate whether the elastic buckle 21 and the locking groove 11 are properly engaged. For example, if a "click" sound is heard when the second component 2 is slid down, it means the assembly is complete, and the elastic buckle 21 has engaged in the locking groove 11. Correspondingly, the first connecting protrusion 12 can extend into the first connecting hole 22 after the elastic buckle 21 engages with the locking groove 11, thereby achieving relative fixation of the first component 1 and the second component 2 along the second direction b.
[0051] When the first component 1 and the second component 2 are fixed in the first direction a by the elastic buckle 21 and the snap-fit groove 11, and the first connecting protrusion 12 is inserted into the first connecting hole 22 to fix in the second direction b, the first component 1 and the second component 2 will not separate in any direction, thus achieving the same fixing effect as bolt connection.
[0052] It should be noted that while the elastic buckle 21 and the snap-fit groove 11 are snapped together, the first connecting protrusion 12 extends into the first connecting hole 22. In other words, when the elastic buckle 21 and the snap-fit groove 11 are snapped together, the first connecting protrusion 12 just extends into the first connecting hole 22.
[0053] Alternatively, in another feasible approach, the elastic buckle 21 and the locking groove 11 can be engaged after the first connecting protrusion 12 extends into the first connecting hole 22, thereby reducing the precision requirements of the assembly structure. In specific implementation, the first connecting protrusion 12 can be set to a relatively long length, and correspondingly, the first connecting hole 22 can be set to a sufficiently long hole depth. In this way, after the first connecting protrusion 12 extends into the connecting hole, the second component 2 can still continue to slide relative to the first component 1 along the first direction a until the elastic buckle 21 and the locking groove 11 are engaged. That is to say, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are first relatively fixed in the second direction b, and then relatively fixed in the first direction a.
[0054] In summary, the headlight structure provided in this embodiment, by providing a snap-fit groove 11 on the first component 1 of the headlight structure, and correspondingly, providing an elastic buckle 21 on the second component 2 of the headlight structure facing the first component 1, allows the second component 2 to slide relative to the first component 1 until the elastic buckle 21 engages with the snap-fit groove 11, thereby achieving relative fixation of the first component 1 and the second component 2 along the first direction a. Furthermore, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are respectively provided with a first connecting protrusion 12 and a first connecting hole 22. During the sliding of the second component 2 relative to the first component 1, the first connecting protrusion 12 can extend into the first connecting hole 22, thereby achieving relative fixation of the first component 1 and the second component 2 along the second direction b. Thus, the first component 1 and the second component 2 will not detach in any direction, ensuring a stable connection between them. Therefore, the headlight structure provided in this embodiment eliminates the bolt connection method in related technologies. While ensuring the fixing effect, it eliminates the need to provide an assembly position for bolt connections, thus further saving space, facilitating miniaturization of the headlight design, reducing the number of parts, and improving assembly efficiency. In addition, this connection method facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement. It can be quickly disassembled by applying force in a specific direction, which greatly reduces the difficulty and cost of after-sales maintenance.
[0055] In practical implementation, the first component 1 and the second component 2 of the headlight structure can be any two parts that need to be connected to each other, such as the connection between the headlight decorative frame and the heat sink, or the connection between the two decorative frames of the headlight. In this embodiment, the first component 1 is a decorative frame and the second component 2 is a heat sink, that is, the snap-fit groove 11 and the first connecting protrusion 12 are formed on the headlight housing, and the elastic buckle 21 and the first connecting hole 22 are formed on the decorative frame.
[0056] Furthermore, the elastic buckle 21 can be made of high-performance engineering plastics to ensure the material's elasticity and toughness, thereby extending its service life. In one specific implementation, the elastic buckle 21 can be integrated with the second component 2, further ensuring the structural strength of the elastic buckle 21.
[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first component 1 has a first sliding surface 10 extending along a first direction a, a snap-fit groove 11 is disposed on the first sliding surface 10, the second component 2 has a second sliding surface 20, the second sliding surface 20 is disposed toward the first sliding surface 10 and is parallel to the first sliding surface 10, an elastic buckle 21 is disposed on the second sliding surface 20, and the second sliding surface 20 can fit against the first sliding surface 10, so that the second component 2 can slide relative to the first component 1 along the first direction a.
[0058] The second sliding surface 20 of the second component 2 can slide in cooperation with the first sliding surface 10 of the first component 1. In this way, not only can the movement of the second component 2 be positioned and guided by the cooperation of the two sliding surfaces, ensuring the stability of the sliding process, but the positioning of the second component 2 relative to the first component 1 can also be achieved, so that the first connecting protrusion 12 on the first component 1 can be accurately inserted into the first connecting hole 22.
[0059] The first sliding surface 10 can also be understood as an edge of the first component 1. Since the first component 1 has a certain thickness, this edge can also be understood as a surface. Based on this, the first sliding surface 10 can directly utilize a certain end face or side face formed on the first component 1. Correspondingly, the snap-fit groove 11 is provided on the end face or side face, so as to facilitate snap-fit with the elastic buckle 21 on the second component 2.
[0060] Based on this, the first direction a of the sliding of the second component 2 relative to the first component 1 is the extension direction of the first sliding surface 10 and the second sliding surface 20. Then, the second direction b is the direction perpendicular to the first sliding surface 10 and the second sliding surface 20.
[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the first component 1 includes a first base plate 13 and two first side plates 14, with one end face of each of the two first side plates 14 connected to both sides of the first base plate 13. For example, the two first side plates 14 extend in a direction perpendicular to the first base plate 13 to form a "U"-shaped structure, which can then be fastened to the second component 2 to form a receiving cavity for the headlight structure, used for installing internal components of the headlight structure. Correspondingly, the second component 2 includes a second base plate 23 and two second side plates 24, with one end face of each of the two second side plates 24 connected to both sides of the second top and bottom plate. Furthermore, for example, the two second side plates 24 extend in a direction perpendicular to the second base plate 23.
[0062] Furthermore, a first sliding surface 10 is formed on the other end face of each of the two first side plates 14, and a second sliding surface 20 is formed on the other end face of each of the two second side plates 24. That is to say, the sliding contact between the first component 1 and the second component 2 is achieved by the contact between the other end face of the first side plate 14 and the other end face of the second side plate 24. This arrangement makes the contact between the two components more reliable and ensures the stability of the sliding process, based on the headlight receiving cavity formed by the first component 1 and the second component 2.
[0063] In one specific implementation, each first side plate 14 can be provided with a snap-fit groove 11 on its first sliding surface 10, and correspondingly, each second side plate 24 can be provided with an elastic buckle 21 on its second sliding surface 20. In this way, it can be fixed along both sides of the first component 1 and the second component 2, thereby further improving the fixing effect between the two.
[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a first clearance groove 141 may be provided on the first side plate 14, and the first clearance groove 141 extends along the first direction a. When the second sliding surface 20 and the first sliding surface 10 are in contact with each other, the elastic buckle 21 can be located in the first clearance groove 141, and the snap-fit groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the first clearance groove 141.
[0065] In other words, in order to enable the first sliding surface 10 and the second sliding surface 20 to fit together and achieve smooth sliding, it is also necessary to enable the subsequent snap-fit of the elastic buckle 21 with the snap-fit groove 11. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the elastic buckle 21 with a moving space and position. Thus, a first clearance groove 141 is provided on the first side plate 14 and extends along the first direction a, so that when the second sliding surface 20 is in contact with the first sliding surface 10, the elastic buckle 21 can move synchronously to the position where it snaps into the snap-fit groove 11.
[0066] In this situation, the bottom of the first clearance groove 141 will exert a certain degree of pressure on the elastic buckle 21, causing it to deform. The position of the hook 212 of the elastic buckle 21 will continue to generate an interaction force with the bottom of the first clearance groove 141 until the elastic buckle 21 moves to the position of the snap-fit groove 11 and recovers its deformation, and the hook 212 is correspondingly snapped into the snap-fit groove 11.
[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, in one specific implementation, the elastic buckle 21 may include an extension 211 and a hook 212. One end of the extension 211 is connected to the other end face of the second side plate 24, and the hook 212 is disposed at the other end of the extension 211 away from the second side plate 24. The extension 211 is the main part of the elastic buckle 21 that deforms. That is, when the elastic buckle 21 is located in the first relief groove 141, and the bottom of the first relief groove 141 presses against the elastic buckle 21, the extension 211 will bend and deform due to the pressing force, causing the hook 212 to shift towards the direction closer to the second side plate 24, until the second component 2 moves to a position where the hook 212 is opposite to the locking groove 11. At this time, the hook 212 will move into the locking groove 11 due to the elastic restoring force to engage with the locking groove 11.
[0068] In a specific implementation, a first clearance groove 141 can be provided on the inner surface of the first side plate 14, that is, on the surface of the first side plate 14 near the first bottom plate 13. See [link to relevant documentation] for details. Figure 6 As shown, this not only ensures the sealing of the first side plate 14 at the first clearance groove 141, but also ensures that the first side plate 14 has sufficient structural strength. In addition, setting the first clearance groove 141 on the inner surface of the first side plate 14 can also make the appearance of the headlight structure smoother, thereby further improving the aesthetics of the headlight structure.
[0069] Regarding the configuration of the first connecting protrusion 12 and the first connecting hole 22, as follows: Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first component 1 has a first abutting surface 100, and the second component 2 has a second abutting surface 200. When the elastic buckle 21 and the snap-fit groove 11 are in a snap-fit state, the first abutting surface 100 and the second abutting surface 200 abut against each other. On this basis, the first connecting protrusion 12 and the first connecting hole 22 are respectively provided on the first abutting surface 100 and the second abutting surface 200.
[0070] For example, in this embodiment, the first connecting protrusion 12 is disposed on the first component 1 and the first connecting hole 22 is disposed on the second component 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting protrusion 12 can also be disposed on the second component 2 and the first connecting hole 22 can be disposed on the first component 1.
[0071] The first connecting protrusion 12 and the first connecting hole 22 are respectively disposed on the first abutting surface 100 and the second abutting surface 200. After the elastic buckle 21 is engaged in the snap-fit groove 11, the first connecting protrusion 12 naturally extends into the first connecting hole 22 through the mutual abutment between the two abutting surfaces. This arrangement can further simplify the assembly process and reduce assembly difficulty. Furthermore, it ensures that the connection state of the first connecting protrusion 12 and the first connecting hole 22 is compatible with the snap-fit state of the elastic buckle 21 and the snap-fit groove 11, improving the coordination between the two connection methods and ensuring the consistency of the connection state.
[0072] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, one of the first component 1 and the second component 2 is further provided with a second connecting protrusion 15, and the other of the first component 1 and the second component 2 is further provided with a second connecting hole 25. The second component 2 can slide relative to the first component 1 until the second connecting protrusion 15 extends into the second connecting hole 25, so that the first component 1 and the second component 2 are relatively fixed along the second direction b. That is, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are further provided with a second connecting protrusion 15 that cooperates with the second connecting hole 25 to achieve further connection and fixation in the second direction b.
[0073] Based on this, the second component 2 has a first end and a second end along the first direction a, with a first connecting protrusion 12 located near the first end and a second connecting protrusion 15 located near the second end. In this way, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are fixed at both ends of the first direction a, thereby further ensuring the connection effect between the first component 1 and the second component 2, and preventing the second component 2 from tilting up relative to the first component 1 due to loose end connection.
[0074] For example, in this embodiment, the second connecting protrusion 15 is disposed on the first component 1 and the second connecting hole 25 is disposed on the second component 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the second connecting protrusion 15 may be disposed on the second component 2 and the second connecting hole 25 may be disposed on the first component 1.
[0075] like Figure 7 As shown, in one specific implementation, a second clearance groove 241 is formed on the second component 2. The second clearance groove 241 extends along the first direction a, and a second connecting hole 25 is formed on the groove wall of the second clearance groove 241 along the first direction a.
[0076] It should be noted that the second connecting hole 25 is formed on the groove wall of the second relief groove 241 along the first direction a. It can be formed on any side wall of the second relief groove 241 along the first direction a. Specifically, when the second connecting protrusion 15 extends toward the first end of the second component 2, the second connecting hole 25 is correspondingly provided on the side wall of the second relief groove 241 near the first end; conversely, when the second connecting protrusion 15 extends toward the second end of the second component 2, the second connecting hole 25 is provided on the side wall of the second relief groove 241 near the second end.
[0077] By providing the second clearance groove 241, the second connecting protrusion 15 can be provided with a moving space and position, so that the second sliding surface 20 can be in contact with the first sliding surface 10, allowing the second connecting protrusion 15 to smoothly and unobstructedly extend into the second connecting hole 25.
[0078] For example, a second clearance groove 241 can be provided on the inner surface of the second side plate 24, that is, on the surface of the second side plate 24 near the second bottom plate 23, as detailed in the following article. Figure 7 As shown. This not only ensures the sealing of the second side plate 24 at the second clearance groove 241, but also ensures that the second side plate 24 has sufficient structural strength. In addition, placing the second clearance groove 241 on the inner surface of the second side plate 24 can make the appearance of the headlight structure smoother, thereby further improving the aesthetics of the headlight structure.
[0079] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, in one specific implementation, the first component 1 further includes a connecting plate 16, which is attached to one side of the first side plate 14, and a second connecting protrusion 15 is formed on the connecting plate 16. Forming the second connecting protrusion 15 through the connecting plate 16 ensures the structural strength of the first component 1, i.e., the first side plate 14, while also facilitating the forming of the second connecting protrusion 15. Specifically, the second connecting protrusion 15 can be formed through the connecting plate 16 and welded to the second side plate 24. Compared to directly setting the second connecting protrusion 15 on the second side plate 24, this reduces the difficulty of structural forming and helps control production costs.
[0080] In practice, the connecting plate 16 can be attached to the inner surface of the first side plate 14 to ensure the flatness of the exterior of the headlight structure.
[0081] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a guide groove 26 is provided on one of the first sliding surface 10 and the second sliding surface 20, and a guide bar 17 is provided on the other of the first sliding surface 10 and the second sliding surface 20. The guide groove 26 extends along a first direction a, and the guide bar 17 can be located in the guide groove 26 and slide along the extension direction of the guide groove 26.
[0082] By setting the guide bar 17 and the guide groove 26, not only can the sliding guidance function of the first component 1 and the second component 2 along the first direction a be realized, but more importantly, the cooperation between the guide bar 17 and the guide groove 26 can limit and fix the first component 1 and the second component 2 along the plane where the sliding surfaces on the two side plates are located. That is to say, when the second component 2 slides relative to the first component 1 along the first direction a, the second component 2 will not deviate or tilt towards the outside of the first component 1. This not only further ensures the smoothness and reliability of the sliding process, but also relatively fixes the first component 1 and the second component 2 along the plane where the sliding surfaces are located.
[0083] For example, in this embodiment, the guide bar 17 is disposed on the first component 1 and the guide groove 26 is disposed on the second component 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide bar 17 can also be disposed on the second component 2 and the guide groove 26 can be disposed on the first component 1.
[0084] A second aspect of this application also provides a vehicle, including a body and the aforementioned headlight structure. Specifically, the headlight structure is mounted at the front or rear of the vehicle. The headlight structure has been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0085] Furthermore, the aforementioned connection method is not only applicable to vehicle headlight structures but can also be used in connection solutions for other vehicle components. For example, it can be used for dashboard covers and center console panels in vehicle interiors, enabling tool-free quick assembly and disassembly. In exterior trim components, such as front grille trim strips and wheel arch panels, this connection method can also be used, ensuring assembly strength while improving production efficiency.
[0086] It should be noted that the vehicle provided in this embodiment should also include other modules or components that enable the vehicle to operate normally. Here, the other modules or components included in the vehicle provided in this embodiment will not be described one by one.
[0087] The vehicle provided in this embodiment has better performance by adopting the headlight structure described above.
[0088] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
