Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive reflector technology, specifically to a novel automotive reflector. Background Technology
[0002] The main functions of automotive reflectors include enhancing vehicle visibility, revealing the vehicle's outline, improving nighttime driving safety, and reducing the likelihood of accidents. At night or in low light conditions, reflectors use their retroreflective properties to reflect light back to the source, allowing drivers behind to notice the vehicle earlier and take safety measures such as braking in advance to prevent traffic accidents.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number 202420991955.7 shows that the technical solution includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate. Two sets of first fixing plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the first clamping plate, and two sets of second fixing plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the second clamping plate. Two sets of slots are provided at the top of the second clamping plate, and a locking plate is provided at the top of the second clamping plate. The locking plate has locking teeth inside, and a threaded fixing rod is installed through the top. A rubber plate is fixedly installed on the side of the locking plate, and an arc-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the side of the rubber plate. Multiple sets of arc-shaped plates are provided, and the outer arc surface is bonded with a reflective warning strip body using strong adhesive. This technical solution facilitates the segmented installation and disassembly of the device, increasing the convenience of installation and disassembly. When replacing some parts, only the corresponding parts need to be replaced, without replacing the entire device, saving replacement costs. It has a certain degree of elasticity, reducing damage to the vehicle and the device, increasing the reflective range, and improving the reflective effect.
[0004] However, the following problems still exist in this technical solution: the technical solution does not protect the reflective warning strip body. When the vehicle comes into contact with the reflective warning strip body, it is easy to wear down the reflective warning strip body, which will make the reflective warning strip body unusable.

Furthermore, by setting a buffer mechanism, the curved support plate can be cushioned, preventing the curved support plate from being damaged by impact, thereby extending the service life of this invention and solving the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel vehicle reflector, comprising an arc-shaped support plate, a reflective mechanism on the arc-shaped support plate, the reflective mechanism comprising a reflective layer, a first adhesive layer on the rear side of the reflective layer, a high-temperature resistant layer on the front side of the reflective layer, and a wear-resistant layer on the front side of the high-temperature resistant layer.

Multiple insertion rods are fixedly attached to one side of the arc-shaped support plate, the insertion rods being inserted into the support rods. Both the insertion rods and the support rods have threaded holes, and the same bolt is threaded into two connected threaded holes for cushioning the arc-shaped support plate.
[0011] Preferably, a second adhesive layer is provided on one side of the fixing plate, and release paper is provided on one side of the second adhesive layer for installing the present invention on a vehicle.
[0012] Preferably, both the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer are made of epoxy resin and are used for bonding.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-6 The present invention relates to a novel vehicle reflector, comprising an arc-shaped support plate 1, a reflective mechanism 2 on the arc-shaped support plate 1, the reflective mechanism 2 comprising a reflective layer 201, a first adhesive layer 202 on the rear side of the reflective layer 201, a high-temperature resistant layer 203 on the front side of the reflective layer 201, and a wear-resistant layer 204 on the front side of the high-temperature resistant layer 203.
[0030] like Figure 6As shown, the reflective layer 201 is made of reflective film. The main materials of the reflective film in this invention include resin, glass microspheres, synthetic resin, thin film and coating technology. By utilizing these materials and combining microprism technology, synthetic resin technology, thin film technology and coating technology, the reflective film is made into a film with retroreflective effect. The reflective film improves the nighttime visibility of vehicles through retroreflective properties, helping drivers behind to detect and take measures in advance, thereby preventing traffic accidents.
[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the high-temperature resistant layer 203 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene film. The polytetrafluoroethylene film in this invention is known for its excellent chemical stability and high-temperature resistance. The polytetrafluoroethylene film can be used for a long time in high-temperature environments without deformation or melting, which helps to extend the service life of the product and reduce the damage and replacement frequency caused by high temperature.
[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, the wear-resistant layer 204 is made of polyester film. The polyester film in this utility model is a wear-resistant film material with high transparency and good mechanical properties. It has good tensile strength and impact toughness, and can resist scratches and wear to a certain extent. By setting the wear-resistant layer 204, the reflective mechanism 2 can be prevented from being worn, thus extending the service life of this utility model.
[0033] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, a buffer mechanism 3 is provided on the rear side of the arc-shaped support plate 1 to buffer the arc-shaped support plate 1. The buffer mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate 301 provided on one side of the arc-shaped support plate 1. A plurality of support rods 302 are provided on one side of the arc-shaped support plate 1. A plurality of limiting rods 303 are fixed on the fixed plate 301. The support rods 302 are inserted into the limiting rods 303. A spring 304 is fixedly provided at one end of the support rod 302. One end of the spring 304 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limiting rod 303. A plurality of plug-in rods 305 are fixedly provided on one side of the arc-shaped support plate 1. The plug-in rods 305 are inserted into the support rods 302. Threaded holes 306 are provided on both the plug-in rods 305 and the support rods 302. The same bolt 307 is threadedly connected to the two connected threaded holes 306.
[0034] When the arc-shaped support plate 1 is impacted, the support rod 302 on one side of the arc-shaped support plate 1 will compress the spring 304. The spring 304 absorbs and stores energy through elastic deformation, thereby reducing the impact force and achieving a buffering effect. By setting the buffering mechanism 3, the arc-shaped support plate 1 can be buffered, avoiding damage to the arc-shaped support plate 1 due to impact and extending the service life of this utility model.
[0035] Rotate bolt 307 to pull it out of the threaded hole 306, then pull the arc-shaped support plate 1 to pull the plug rod 305 on the back of the arc-shaped support plate 1 out of the support rod 302, so that the arc-shaped support plate 1 can be inspected and repaired.
[0036] like Figure 1-6 The fixing plate 301 shown has a second adhesive layer 4 on one side and a release paper 5 on the other side. Both the first adhesive layer 202 and the second adhesive layer 4 are made of epoxy resin. The epoxy resin in this invention has excellent adhesive properties and can form a strong bond on the surface of various substrates. The reflective mechanism 2 can be bonded to the surface of the arc-shaped support plate 1 through the first adhesive layer 202. The release paper 5 can be removed from the second adhesive layer 4, and the invention can be bonded to the surface of the vehicle using the second adhesive layer 4, so as to facilitate early detection and action by drivers behind, thereby preventing traffic accidents.
[0037] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
