[0011] According to some alternative embodiments, the surface of the reflector is formed with multiple second ridges or second grooves to constitute the stripe structure.

[0012] In some alternative embodiments, the reflector has an opening, the light-emitting element is located at the opening, and the stripe structure is provided on both sides of the opening on the reflector.

[0013] Specifically, the reflector includes at least one arc-shaped mirror plate, on which the stripe structure is distributed.

Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] The following is for reference. Figures 1-6 A vehicle light assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is described.

[0033] The application fields of the vehicle lamp assembly 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention are not limited, and it can be used in vehicles, home lighting, or commercial lighting, etc. This embodiment is described with the application of the vehicle lamp assembly 100 in a vehicle as an example, and will not be repeated below.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle lighting assembly 100 includes: a light-emitting element 10, a lamp cover 20, and a reflector 30.

[0035] The light-emitting element 10 serves as a light source, providing the light output required for illumination.

[0036] The lampshade 20 is arranged on the light-emitting path of the light-emitting element 10.

[0037] Optionally, there may be one or more lampshades 20. When there are multiple lampshades 20, the multiple lampshades 20 are stacked along the light emission path.

[0038] The reflector 30 is disposed on one side of the lampshade 20 to reflect the light from the light-emitting element 10 toward the lampshade 20. This can redirect light that was originally scattered or not effectively utilized back toward the lampshade 20, thereby improving the light energy utilization rate.

[0039] Among them, at least two of all lampshades 20 and reflectors 30 are provided with stripe structures 40 so that the stripe structures 40 located on different components form a moiré effect.

[0040] It is worth noting that, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The appearance of moiré patterns is due to the superposition of two or more patterns with periodic structures, which macroscopically present a new light and dark stripe pattern.

[0041] When moiré patterns are applied to the headlight assembly 100, the stripe structures 40 distributed on different components will visually interfere with the human eye during observation of the headlight, thus forming the moiré pattern. This effect can effectively conceal the internal structure of the headlight, allowing the headlight to maintain a clean and uniform appearance even when it is not lit, avoiding a visually cluttered feeling caused by the exposed internal structure of the headlight.

[0042] Furthermore, when the observer's line of sight moves or their position relative to the headlights changes, the viewing angle also changes. This change in perspective causes the stripe structure 40 to present a dynamic visual effect, bringing a certain sense of rhythm and thus enhancing the visual interest of the headlights in a static state.

[0043] In some technical solutions, there are at least two lampshades 20, and at least two lampshades 20 are provided with stripe structures 40. In this way, the stripe structures 40 between the multiple lampshades 20 interact to produce a moiré visual effect.

[0044] Alternatively, in some other technical solutions, there are at least two lampshades 20, and the reflector 30 and at least one lampshade 20 are provided with a striped structure 40. This structure, by utilizing the cooperation between the reflector 30 and the lampshade 20, can also achieve the purpose of forming a moiré pattern through stripe superposition.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments, the spacing of the stripe structures 40 on different components can be the same or different. When the stripe spacing is the same, a clear and regular moiré pattern can be produced, enhancing the masking effect while maintaining a consistent and clean appearance. When the stripe spacing is different, other visual effects can be adjusted according to different viewing angles and positional requirements, allowing the headlight assembly 100 to exhibit dynamic aesthetics even under static conditions, increasing visual interest.

[0046] In summary, the vehicle headlight assembly 100 of this embodiment of the present invention achieves the shielding of the internal structure by setting a stripe structure 40 in the existing vehicle headlight assembly 100 components. This method avoids adding additional components, simplifies the overall structure, and reduces assembly steps and material usage, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and improving economic efficiency.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in some optional vehicle lamp components 100 according to the present invention, the lamp cover 20 has a transparent striped structure 40 on at least one side surface facing the reflector 30 and away from the reflector 30.

[0048] This design allows the striped structures 40 on both sides of the lamp cover 20 to overlap with the striped structures 40 on the reflector 30 or the striped structures 40 on the other lamp cover 20, forming multiple moiré patterns at different angles. This further enhances the ability to conceal the internal structure and improves the overall consistency of the headlight appearance.

[0049] Meanwhile, because the striped structure 40 is transparent, light can pass through smoothly, thus ensuring the lighting function of the headlight assembly 100 and reducing light energy loss. This not only effectively shields the internal structure of the headlight but also ensures that the overall lighting performance of the headlight is not affected.

[0050] In some further optional embodiments, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the lampshade 20 is formed with multiple first ridges or first stripes to form a stripe structure 40.

[0051] Here, the first ridge refers to a raised structure, and the first groove is a recessed structure. Both the raised and recessed structures can be superimposed on the striped structure 40 on the other lampshade 20 or reflector 30 to form a moiré effect.

[0052] Optionally, the lamp cover 20 includes a main body and a first protrusion or a first groove disposed thereon. The first protrusion or the first groove is integrally formed with the main body. For example, the first protrusion or the first groove is integrally injection molded or embossed with the main body of the lamp cover 20. Such a structure can simplify the production process, reduce the number of parts, and thus reduce the assembly difficulty and manufacturing cost of the vehicle lamp assembly 100.

[0053] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 6 As shown, the reflector 30 forms a reflective surface 31 on the side away from the lampshade 20, and the reflector 30 forms a stripe structure 40 on the reflective surface 31.

[0054] It is understood that the reflective surface 31 is used for directional reflection of light to improve the efficiency of light energy utilization. A striped structure 40 is further formed on this reflective surface 31, which, without adding extra space, works in conjunction with the striped structure 40 on the lamp cover 20 to create a moiré effect, effectively shielding the internal structure of the lamp and improving the overall appearance. This design avoids the need for additional independent shielding components, simplifies the lamp structure, and reduces manufacturing costs and assembly difficulty.

[0055] Specifically, multiple second ridges or second grooves are formed on the surface of the reflector 30 to constitute a stripe structure 40. These stripe structures 40 are formed directly on the surface of the reflector 30, allowing them to work in conjunction with the stripe structure 40 on the lampshade 20 to achieve a moiré effect. This arrangement effectively conceals the internal structure of the lamp without adding extra space, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, this method simplifies the component structure, reduces the use of independent parts, and lowers manufacturing costs and assembly complexity.

[0056] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the reflector 30 is provided with an opening 32, the light-emitting element 10 is located at the opening 32, and the reflector 30 is provided with stripe structures 40 on both sides of the opening 32.

[0057] Light can pass directly through the opening 32 on the reflector 30. Some of the light emitted by the light-emitting element 10 is scattered by the striped structure 40 on the surface of the reflector 30, thus forming striped light rays. Subsequently, these striped light rays interact with the striped structure 40 on the lampshade 20, producing superposition interference and forming a moiré effect, thereby achieving the effect of shielding the internal components of the lamp.

[0058] By setting stripe structures 40 on both sides of the opening 32, the effective space of the reflector 30 can be fully utilized, and the internal space of the headlight can be optimized.

[0059] Further optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, the reflector 30 includes at least one arc-shaped mirror plate with a striped structure 40.

[0060] The curved mirror plate facilitates light convergence, allowing light to be more effectively directed to the desired area. The striped structure 40 is positioned on the curved mirror plate, thus utilizing the curved surface structure of the reflector 30 itself in conjunction with the striped structure 40 on the lampshade 20 to create a shielding effect. This design simplifies the structure and reduces the number of components.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, the stripe structure 40 includes multiple evenly spaced stripes 41. Optionally, these stripes 41 can be straight lines, arcs, or other regular shapes, and the specific form can be designed according to actual needs. The stripes 41 are arranged with uniform spacing. Through the corresponding stripes 41 on multiple components, a visual superposition interference effect is generated, thereby forming a moiré pattern effect, which effectively shields the internal structure of the lamp.

[0062] Further, optionally, combined Figure 1 The lampshade 20 includes an inner lampshade 21 and an outer lampshade 22, with the outer lampshade 22 located on the side of the inner lampshade 21 away from the reflector 30. The inner lampshade 21 and the reflector 30 are provided with striped structures 40.

[0063] To manage and optimize the light emitted by the light source, in some vehicle lamp components 100, the lamp cover 20 includes an inner lamp cover 21 and an outer lamp cover 22. The inner lamp cover 21 controls the light path to ensure that the light can evenly illuminate the desired area. The outer lamp cover 22 protects the internal components from damage caused by external environmental factors such as dust, dirt, and flying stones, ensuring the stability of the internal environment of the lamp and extending the lifespan of the lamp. The outer lamp cover 22 also serves for further light management. Specifically, both the outer lamp cover 22 and the inner lamp cover 21 are provided with a striped structure 40. When light passes through, it creates a visual interference effect, forming a shielding effect. This structural design not only enhances the shielding effect on the internal structure of the lamp, improving the overall appearance and aesthetics, but also helps achieve efficient optical management without adding additional components. Through the interaction of the stripes on the inner and outer lamp covers 22, the structure can be simplified and costs reduced while ensuring lighting performance.

[0064] The vehicle according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes at least one headlight assembly 100 as described in the first aspect embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] It is worth noting that the specific type of vehicle referred to in this application is not limited. For example, the vehicle can be a gasoline vehicle, a gas vehicle, or a new energy vehicle. New energy vehicles can be pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, solar electric vehicles, gas fuel vehicles (such as hydrogen engine vehicles), or biofuel vehicles (such as vehicles powered by ethanol, biodiesel, etc.).

[0066] The vehicle using the improved headlight assembly 100 in this embodiment of the present invention achieves a high degree of neatness and consistency in the vehicle's appearance. At the same time, the headlight assembly 100 helps to reduce the vehicle's production costs and improve its economy.

[0069] The lampshade 20 is disposed on the light emission path of the light-emitting element 10, and the lampshade 20 includes an inner lampshade 21 and an outer lampshade 22. The outer lampshade 22 is located on the side of the inner lampshade 21 that is away from the reflector 30.

[0070] The inner lampshade 21 and the reflector 30 are provided with striped structures 40 to form a moiré pattern effect.
