[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lamp protection structure technology, specifically a protective structure for automotive roof lights. Background Technology
[0002] Off-road vehicles require roof lights for auxiliary illumination when driving in extreme environments. During operation, these lights are frequently scratched by tree branches, which can damage the light covers. Therefore, installing a protective structure can safeguard the front side of the roof lights.
[0003] Current off-road vehicle roof light protection structures generally employ a rigid bolt-fixed design, using high-strength bolts to directly lock the protective frame to the roof longitudinal beams or roll cage. Some designs supplement this with spring washers to prevent loosening, requiring specialized tools such as wrenches and sockets to remove the bolts. Existing bolt-fixed roof light protection structures have significant shortcomings in terms of maintainability, environmental adaptability, and expandability. There is an urgent need to develop a new type of protective structure that is tool-free, quick-release, easy to clean, and highly compatible to meet the actual needs of off-road scenarios.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Current off-road vehicle roof light protection structures generally employ a rigid bolt-fixed design, using high-strength bolts to directly lock the protective frame to the roof longitudinal beams or roll cage. Some designs supplement this with spring washers to prevent loosening, requiring specialized tools such as wrenches and sockets to remove the bolts. Existing bolt-fixed roof light protection structures have significant shortcomings in terms of maintainability, environmental adaptability, and expandability. There is an urgent need to develop a new type of protective structure that is tool-free, quick-release, easy to clean, and highly compatible to meet the actual needs of off-road scenarios.
[0030] Example 1,
[0031] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a protective structure for an automotive roof light, including a mesh cover 1 and a connector 2 fitted on the outside of the lamp body 6. The mesh cover 1 includes a frame 101 fitted on the outside of the lamp body 6. Both ends of the connector 2 are provided with elastic structures, which are fitted into the gap between the frame 101 and the outer side of the lamp body 6.
[0032] The rectangular lamp body 6 is mounted on the lamp body mounting bracket 7. Both the rear side shell of the lamp body 6 and the lamp body mounting bracket 7 are made of aluminum alloy. The lamp body mounting bracket 7 can be fixed to the mounting bracket on the roof of the vehicle with bolts to realize the installation of the roof lamp structure.
[0033] The frame 101 is a rectangular structure. There are gaps between the side of the frame 101 and the corresponding side of the lamp body 6. The elastic structure is installed in the gap to support the frame 101. At the same time, at least two connectors 2 are installed.
[0034] Compared to bolted connections, by pressing the mesh cover 1 and the connector 2 together to make them fit tightly together, the frame 101 is snapped onto the elastic structure for quick installation. The operation of this application is simpler and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the lamp protection structure.
[0035] Multiple curved spokes are fixed on one side of the frame 101, and the spokes are used for protection of the front side of the lamp body 6;
[0036] The multiple curved spokes include multiple horizontally distributed spokes and multiple vertically distributed spokes, with the horizontally distributed spokes intersecting with the vertically distributed spokes;
[0037] Both the frame 101 and the spokes can be made of aluminum alloy, which reduces the overall weight of the mesh cover 1 while ensuring structural strength, thereby reducing the inertial force on the mesh cover 1 during vehicle operation.
[0038] The connector 2 has a V-shaped structure. The connector 2 is snapped onto the connector 2. At the same time, both ends of the connector 2 extend toward the front side of the lamp body 6. Both ends of the connector 2 are provided with inwardly extending protrusions 201, which are snapped onto the side of the lamp body 6.
[0039] Multiple fins 601 are provided on the rear side of the lamp body 6. The side arm of the connector 2 is located between two adjacent fins 601, and the connector 2 is limited by the two fins 601.
[0040] The distance between the two ends of the connector 2 is less than the height of the lamp body 6, so that the two ends of the connector 2 are connected to the outside of the lamp body 6. At the same time, the protruding structure 201 cooperates with the side limit of the front side of the lamp body 6 to prevent the connector 2 from sliding to the rear side of the lamp body 6 after installation.
[0041] The elastic structure includes an inclined first spring piece 202, one side of which is connected to the connector 2. The first spring piece 202 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 203, which are limited and matched with the frame 101.
[0042] Among them, the protruding structure 201 and the elastic structure are both formed by bending the connector 2. The connector 2 is made of phosphor bronze, which is easy to stamp and form, and is easy to process. At the same time, the cost of phosphor bronze is lower than that of stainless steel.
[0043] Multiple first grooves 203 are arranged in sequence. As the first grooves 203 gradually move away from the connecting end of the first spring piece 202, the vertical distance between the first grooves 203 and the connecting end of the first spring piece 202 also gradually increases.
[0044] When the frame 101 is installed, the side of the frame 101 pushes the free end of the first spring piece 202 to bend and deform inward until the side of the frame 101 falls into the first groove 203. If you want to increase the deformation of the first spring piece 202 and obtain greater support force, you need to push the side of the frame 101 into the next first groove 203.
[0045] The first groove 203 at different positions provides different elastic support while also meeting the installation requirements of different gap sizes.
[0046] A support member 3 is also fitted into the gap between the frame 101 and the outer side of the lamp body 6. The support member 3 and the elastic structure are not located on the same side.
[0047] The problem of lateral displacement of the mesh cover 1 after installation is solved by installing the support component 3, which is not equipped with a limiting structure in the vertical side direction.
[0048] The support member 3 has a V-shaped structure. The support member 3 has a side body 301 that is snapped onto the side of the lamp body 6. The movement range of the support member 3 is limited by the limiting between the side body 301 and the side of the lamp body 6. The support member 3 slides towards the back side of the lamp body 6, and the maximum sliding distance is when the side body 301 contacts the side of the lamp body 6.
[0049] A second spring sheet 302 is connected to one side of the support member 3. The second spring sheet 302 is provided with a plurality of second grooves 303, and the second grooves 303 are matched with the frame 101 for limiting.
[0050] The second spring 302 and the second groove 303 have the same function as the first spring 202 and the first groove 203, both of which provide support for the side of the frame 101 and complete the fixed installation of the mesh cover 1.
[0051] Example 2,
[0052] like Figure 6 - Figure 7 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the middle part of the connector 2 is provided with a threaded seat 204, and a screw 5 is installed in the threaded seat 204. The end of the screw 5 with the rubber gasket 501 is pressed against the back side of the lamp body 6.
[0053] By rotating the screw 5, the length of the screw 5 is changed. The end of the screw 5 acts on the back side of the lamp body 6. By rotating the screw 5, the entire connector 2 moves to the back side of the lamp body 6, thereby enabling the protruding structure 201 to fasten the side of the lamp body 6 and prevent the lamp body 6 from shaking after installation.
[0054] The rubber gasket 501 reduces the damage to the surface of the lamp body 6 caused by the end of the screw 5.
[0055] A sponge pad 4 is glued to the inner side of the connector 2's bayonet. The connector 2 contacts the surface of the lamp body 6 through the sponge pad 4, thereby reducing the direct contact of hard materials with the surface of the lamp body 6, which could easily cause damage to the surface of the lamp body 6. At the same time, both the sponge pad 4 and the rubber pad 501 can reduce the transmission of vibration.
[0056] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
