[0031] Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a car steering and reversing auxiliary lighting system includes a spotlight bracket 1, a front spotlight 2, a rear spotlight 3, and a control circuit. The spotlight bracket 1 is mounted on the lower edge of the A-pillar of the car 4. The spotlight bracket 1 has a sliding groove 11, and the front spotlight 2 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 11, which allows for easy adjustment of the position of the front spotlight 2. The front spotlight 2 is used to illuminate the road conditions on the left and right sides of the front of the car. The rear spotlight 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spotlight bracket 1, and the rear spotlight 3 is used to illuminate the road conditions on the left and right sides of the rear wheels.

[0034] The control circuit includes the car battery, photosensor, photosensor controller, delay controller, relays, and more. The control circuit is divided into a front spotlight 2 control circuit and a rear spotlight 3 control circuit, such as... Figure 4 As shown, in the control circuit of the front spotlight 2: the control interface of the relay forms a circuit with the front spotlight 2 and the car battery; the signal interface of the relay is connected to the signal output interface of the delay controller; the signal input interface of the delay controller is connected to the signal output interface of the photosensitive controller; and the photosensitive unit and the car turn signal are connected to the photosensitive controller.

[0035] There are two implementation schemes for the rear spotlight 3 control circuit:

[0036] (1) As Figure 5 As shown, the control interface of the relay forms a circuit with the rear spotlight 3 and the car battery. The signal interface of the relay is connected to the signal output interface of the photosensitive controller, and the photosensitive unit and the car reversing signal are connected to the photosensitive controller. This scheme is used to enable the rear spotlight 3 to be turned on independently when the car is reversing.

[0037] (2) Figure 6 As shown, the relay's control interface forms a circuit with the rear spotlight 3 and the car battery. The relay's signal interface is connected to the signal output interface of the photosensitive controller, and the photosensitive controller's signal input interface is connected to the car's turn signal. This solution is used to enable the simultaneous activation of the front and rear spotlights when the car turns.

[0038] The light sensor controller prevents the spotlights from being turned on during the day, allowing them to be turned on only at night. The delay controller converts the original flashing turn signal into a constant on signal for a certain period, preventing the front spotlights from flashing like the turn signals.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 7-9 As shown, a car steering and reversing auxiliary lighting system differs from Embodiment 1 in that the front spotlights 2 are provided in two sets with different illumination directions.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] like Figure 10 As shown, a car steering and reversing auxiliary lighting system differs from Embodiment 1 in that: the front spotlight 2 is provided with two sets with different irradiation directions, and the rear spotlight 3 is slidably connected to the slide groove 11.

[0043] Example 4

[0044] like Figure 11 As shown, a car steering and reversing auxiliary lighting system differs from Embodiment 1 in that the structure and installation method of the spotlight bracket 1 are different. The spotlight bracket 1 is provided with a rearview mirror connector 12, which is installed on the rearview mirror connecting pillar of the car 4 through the rearview mirror connector 12. The spotlight bracket 1 is provided with a front spotlight 2 mounting hole and a rear spotlight 3 mounting hole. The front spotlight 2 is connected to the front spotlight 2 mounting hole, and the rear spotlight 3 is connected to the rear spotlight 3 mounting hole.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, 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.
