Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lighting technology, specifically to a supplementary light, a rearview mirror, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] To enable their systems to analyze their surroundings, intelligent driving vehicles typically install cameras in multiple locations to capture images. At night, the images captured by these cameras are often not clear enough, affecting the accuracy of the vehicle's analysis. While the headlights in front of the vehicle provide some supplemental lighting, the environment to the sides is often quite dark, necessitating supplemental lighting around the cameras. However, current supplemental lighting fixtures used around cameras have low internal space utilization and are relatively large, making them difficult to adapt for installation on different vehicle models. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a supplementary lighting lamp with a more compact structure, making it easier to adapt to different vehicle models.

[0040] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0041] refer to Figures 1 to 5 According to an embodiment of this application, a supplementary light includes a lamp housing 100, a lens 200, a light-emitting component 300, and a bottom cover 410. The lamp housing 100 has a receiving cavity 110 extending along a first direction. The light-emitting component 300 includes a light-emitting element 310 and a substrate 320 connected together. The substrate 320 is used to support the light-emitting element 310, which is capable of emitting light. The bottom cover 410 has a wiring through hole 412. Along the first direction, the lens 200, the substrate 320, and the bottom cover 410 are arranged sequentially in the receiving cavity 110. The receiving cavity 110 includes a first sub-cavity 111 and a second sub-cavity 112. One side of the lens 200 abuts against the lamp housing 100, and the opposite side of the lens 200 abuts against the substrate 320 to fix the lens 200. At the same time, the lens 200 and the substrate 320 together enclose the first sub-cavity 111, and the light-emitting element 310 is located in the first sub-cavity 111, making the fit between the lens 200 and the light-emitting component 300 tighter.

[0042] The bottom cover 410 abuts against the side of the substrate 320 away from the lens 200, and the bottom cover 410 is connected to the lamp housing 100. Together with the lens 200, the substrate 320 is fixed, eliminating the need for additional fixing structures and simplifying the overall structure of the fill light. The substrate 320 and the bottom cover 410 also jointly enclose a second sub-cavity 112. The wiring through hole 412 communicates with the second sub-cavity 112 and is used to pass through the power line 430. The power line 430 can block the wiring through hole 412, ensuring that the bottom cover 410 closes one side of the receiving cavity 110. The second sub-cavity 112 can also accommodate a portion of the power line 430 that supplies power to the light-emitting component 300, making full use of the space in the receiving cavity 110. Thus, the components in this application fit together closely, and each component has both fixing and space-limiting functions, which helps to reduce space occupation, reduce the size of the fill light, and make the fill light more easily adaptable to different vehicle models.

[0043] refer to Figures 1 to 5Specifically, along the first direction, the cross-sectional area (i.e., the area of ​​the cavity 110 crossed along a plane perpendicular to the first direction) at various points in the receiving cavity 110 can be different to form a stepped structure. This stepped structure can limit the lens 200 and the bottom cover 410 along the first direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the supplementary light. The limiting of the lens 200 and the bottom cover 410 is not limited to a stepped structure; it can also be achieved by setting a retaining ring on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 110, or by setting a locking nut, pin structure, or other limiting structure on the lamp housing 100 that moves vertically (i.e., perpendicular to the first direction). All of these limiting structures are part of the lamp housing 100.

[0044] The assembly process of the supplementary light in this application is as follows: Along the first direction, starting from the side with the larger opening of the receiving cavity 110, the lens 200, the light-emitting component 300, and the bottom cover 410 are installed sequentially. That is, the lens 200 is first installed into the receiving cavity 110 until the lens 200 moves to abut against the lamp housing 100, thus fixing one side of the lens 200; then the light-emitting component 300 is installed. When installing the light-emitting component 300, the light-emitting component 310 is located on the side of the substrate 320 facing the lens 200, until the substrate 320 and the lens 200 are aligned. The lenses 200 are fixed to both sides along the first direction by abutting against each other. At the same time, the lenses 200 and the substrate 320 enclose the first sub-cavity 111, and the light-emitting element 310 is located in the first sub-cavity 111. Finally, the bottom cover 410 is installed until it abuts against the side of the substrate 320 away from the lenses 200, thus fixing the substrate 320 and defining the second sub-cavity 112 together with the substrate 320. At the same time, the bottom cover 410 is connected to the lamp housing 100 to restrict the movement of the bottom cover 410 relative to the lamp housing 100.

[0045] In the supplementary lighting structure of this application, the lens 200 and the bottom cover 410 are respectively provided with groove structures. The openings of the grooves face each other along a first direction. The substrate 320 is located between the lens 200 and the bottom cover 410 to seal the two grooves, thereby separating the independent first sub-cavity 111 and second sub-cavity 112. This ensures protection for the light-emitting element 310, prevents external dust, water stains, and other debris from interfering with the light emission, and also reduces the mutual influence between the power line 430 and the light-emitting element 310, improving the reliability of the supplementary lighting. It should be understood that, in addition to its protective function, the lens 200 can also converge the light emitted by the light-emitting element 310, making the beam more concentrated and enhancing the supplementary lighting effect.

[0046] refer to Figures 2 to 6In some embodiments, the lamp housing 100 is further provided with a positioning structure 120, which is located in the receiving cavity 110 and is attached to the outer peripheral wall of the lens 200. The positioning structure 120 is used to provide a positioning reference for the installation of the lens 200. The attachment of the positioning structure 120 to the lens 200 can restrict the vertical movement of the lens 200 along the first direction, so that the lens 200 has a fixed position in the lamp housing 100, thereby achieving more reliable protection for the light-emitting element 310. In addition, the fixed position of the lens 200 can also ensure the stable performance of the optical performance of the lens 200, so that the lens 200 can more accurately converge and refract the light emitted by the light-emitting element 310, avoid beam divergence or focus shift due to position deviation, and thus significantly improve the focusing effect of the supplementary light, meeting the vehicle's need for clear lighting at night or in low light conditions.

[0047] Specifically, the lamp housing 100 includes a peripheral wall and a side wall. The peripheral wall extends around a first direction, and both ends of the peripheral wall have openings along the first direction. The side wall is connected to one end of the peripheral wall, blocking part of the opening, so that the lamp housing 100 defines a receiving cavity 110 that is open along the first direction. The cavity opening at the end not connected to the side wall is larger than the cavity opening at the end connected to the side wall, so that the lens 200 can be installed in the receiving cavity 110 from the larger cavity opening end and move towards the smaller cavity opening end during installation. The positioning structure 120 is connected to the side wall and extends along the first direction towards the side away from the side wall (i.e., towards the center of the receiving cavity 110). When the lens 200 is installed, the lens 200 moves along the first direction, and the outer peripheral wall of the lens 200 fits against the positioning structure 120 to provide guidance for the installation of the lens 200 and to limit the vertical movement of the lens 200 along the first direction.

[0048] In addition, to further improve positioning accuracy, the lamp housing 100 may be provided with multiple positioning structures 120. The multiple positioning structures 120 are distributed circumferentially around the first direction as the axis. Each positioning structure 120 is attached to the outer peripheral wall of the lens 200. Taking the lamp housing 100 including two positioning structures 120 as an example, the two positioning structures 120 are arranged vertically at intervals along the first direction (which can also be understood as the two positioning structures 120 being arranged circumferentially at intervals of 180° around the first direction). The lens 200 is located between the two positioning structures 120 to further restrict the movement of the lens 200 and ensure that the lens 200 can stably perform its optical performance.

[0049] refer to Figures 1 to 5In other embodiments, the lens 200 is a hollow cylindrical structure with an opening at one end, and its outer peripheral wall is a cylindrical curved surface. To ensure that the positioning structure 120 fits tightly with the lens 200, a curved surface with the same curvature as the outer peripheral wall of the lens 200 is provided on the side of the positioning structure 120 facing the lens 200 along the vertical direction of the first direction. This allows the positioning structure 120 and the lens 200 to achieve surface-to-surface contact when they come into contact. This provides a larger contact area, effectively disperses local stress concentration during the installation of the lens 200, avoids deformation or damage to the lens 200 due to uneven stress, and provides better protection for the internal light-emitting element 310.

[0050] refer to Figures 2 to 6 In some other embodiments, the positioning structure 120 further includes a reinforcing portion 121. The reinforcing portion 121 extends toward the side away from the lens 200 in the vertical direction of the first direction and maintains a connection with the side wall of the lamp housing 100 during the extension. The provision of the reinforcing portion 121 is beneficial to further enhance the structural stability of the positioning structure 120.

[0051] refer to Figures 2 to 6 In some embodiments, along the first direction, the substrate 320 is provided with a positioning hole 321, the substrate 320 abuts against the positioning structure 120, and a part of the positioning structure 120 is located in the positioning hole 321. For example, the positioning structure 120 is provided with a positioning post 122, which passes through the positioning hole 321. By means of post-hole cooperation, the vertical movement of the substrate 320 in the receiving cavity 110 along the first direction is effectively restricted. Thus, the positioning structure 120 has a dual positioning function. On the one hand, it can position the lens 200 to ensure the stable performance of its optical performance, and on the other hand, it can fix the substrate 320 to prevent the substrate 320 from being displaced during use. This achieves the relative fixation of the positions of the lens 200 and the substrate 320, ensuring the stability and compactness of the internal structure of the supplementary light. In addition, the positioning structure 120 can share the pressure of the substrate 320 on the lens 200, preventing the substrate 320 from excessively squeezing the lens 200.

[0052] refer to Figures 1 to 5In some embodiments, the lamp housing 100 is further provided with a protrusion 130. Along the first direction, the protrusion 130 protrudes outward toward the side of the lens 200 away from the substrate 320 to the outside of the receiving cavity 110, and the protrusion 130 forms a closed shape around the first direction. This closed shape can be circular, square, triangular, or other shapes, set to fit the shape of the installation position. When installing the supplementary light, the protrusion 130 can be directly embedded into the installation position. For example, when the supplementary light is installed in the housing of the rearview mirror, the housing is provided with a light-emitting hole. The protrusion 130 can be embedded into the light-emitting hole, and the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 130 abuts against the hole wall of the light-emitting hole. This not only ensures the positioning and installation of the supplementary light, but also forms a sealing structure, effectively preventing water stains, dust, and other debris from entering the rearview mirror housing through the gap between the protrusion 130 and the lens 200, reducing the corrosion of the light-emitting component 300 inside the supplementary light by the external environment, and helping to extend the service life of the supplementary light.

[0053] refer to Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the inner peripheral side of the lamp housing 100 is provided with a first stepped portion 140. Along the first direction, the first stepped portion 140 is located on the side of the substrate 320 facing the lens 200. The side of the lens 200 away from the substrate 320 abuts against the first stepped portion 140 to restrict the movement of the lens 200 in the receiving cavity 110 towards the side away from the substrate 320. The other side of the lens 200 abuts against the substrate 320. The lens 200 is fixed by this bidirectional abutment, which facilitates the positioning and assembly of the lens 200 and the lamp housing 100.

[0054] Specifically, the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving cavity 110 at the first step portion 140 is smaller than that of the adjacent receiving cavity 110. The first step portion 140 may have multiple steps, and the receiving cavity 110 has different cross-sectional areas at different steps. To increase the contact area between the lens 200 and the lamp housing 100, the side of the lens 200 away from the substrate 320 along the first direction may also be configured as a stepped structure that matches the first step portion 140. For example, when the first step portion 140 includes two steps, the lens 200 is correspondingly provided with two steps. The steps of the first step portion 140 and the lens 200 correspond one-to-one and abut against each other. This not only helps to accurately position the lens 200 during installation, but also improves the stability of the lens 200 installation by increasing the contact area and reduces the possibility of the lens 200 shifting due to factors such as vehicle vibration.

[0055] refer to Figures 1 to 5In some embodiments, the first stepped portion 140 defines a positioning groove 141 around a first direction. The side of the lens 200 facing away from the substrate 320 is placed in the positioning groove 141, and the outer peripheral wall of the lens 200 fits against the groove wall of the positioning groove 141. That is, the groove wall of the positioning groove 141 circumferentially surrounds a portion of the outer peripheral wall of the lens 200. This not only provides a mounting and positioning reference for the lens 200, but also restricts the vertical movement of the lens 200 along the first direction, making the installation of the lens 200 more stable and improving the impact resistance of the supplementary light. The positioning groove 141 can be understood as part of the receiving cavity 110 to ensure the conductivity of the receiving cavity 110.

[0056] refer to Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the supplementary light also includes a sealing element 420. The inner circumferential side of the lamp housing 100 is provided with a second stepped portion 150. The second stepped portion 150 is located on the side of the substrate 320 facing the bottom cover 410. The sealing element 420 is located in the receiving cavity 110. Along the first direction, one side of the sealing element 420 abuts against the second stepped portion 150, and the other side of the sealing element 420 abuts against the bottom cover 410. The sealing element 420 can be a rubber gasket. The sealing element 420 can deform under pressure. The sealing element 420 is used to improve the sealing between the bottom cover 410 and the second stepped portion 150, thereby improving the sealing of the receiving cavity 110.

[0057] refer to Figures 1 to 5 In some other embodiments, the bottom cover 410 further includes a third step portion 411, which has two steps. The two steps rise sequentially along the first direction. One step abuts against the substrate 320, and the other step abuts against the second step portion 150, so as to limit the bottom cover 410 along the first direction, avoid the bottom cover 410 from excessively compressing the sealing member 420, and ensure the sealing performance of the supplementary light.

[0058] refer to Figures 1 to 5 In other embodiments, the inner circumference of the lamp housing 100 is provided with a first stepped portion 140 and a second stepped portion 150 arranged at intervals along a first direction. The first stepped portion 140 is located on the side of the lens 200 facing away from the substrate 320 and abuts against the lens 200. The stepped structure increases the contact area between the lens 200 and the lamp housing 100, thereby limiting and fixing the lens 200 while making the fit between the two more tight. The second stepped portion 150 is located on the side of the substrate 320 facing the bottom cover 410 and abuts against the bottom cover 410, thereby increasing the contact area between the bottom cover 410 and the lamp housing 100. This is beneficial to improving the sealing performance of the receiving cavity 110, thereby providing more reliable protection for the light-emitting component 300 inside the receiving cavity 110, reducing the risk of failure of the light-emitting component 310 due to external environmental influences, and extending the service life of the supplementary light.

[0059] refer to Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the supplementary light also includes a power cord 430, which passes through the wiring through hole 412 and extends into the second sub-cavity 112. The power cord 430 is electrically connected to the substrate 320 and is used to supply power to the substrate 320 to ensure the light emission of the light-emitting component 310. While supplying power, the power cord 430 can also block the wiring through hole 412. Thus, the wiring through hole 412, together with the bottom cover 410, can seal one side of the receiving cavity 110, achieving a seal while ensuring the power supply to the light-emitting component 300.

[0060] Specifically, along the first direction, the power line 430 is connected to the side of the substrate 320 facing the bottom cover 410, which helps to shorten the power supply path of the power line 430. The second sub-cavity 112 can accommodate the power line 430. The power line 430 and the substrate 320 can be connected by welding. The second sub-cavity 112 can also avoid the solder joint to ensure the stability of the welding between the power line 430 and the substrate 320.

[0061] refer to Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of this application, the rearview mirror includes a housing and a supplementary light from any of the above embodiments. The housing has a light-emitting hole and a mounting cavity, with the light-emitting hole communicating with the mounting cavity. The supplementary light is installed inside the mounting cavity, thus concealing the supplementary light. By integrating the supplementary light into the rearview mirror and then installing the rearview mirror on the side of the vehicle body, no additional modifications to the vehicle are required. Utilizing the rearview mirror as a universal component for different vehicle models, the supplementary light is adapted to various vehicle models without affecting the normal function of the vehicle, effectively solving the problem of poor compatibility of existing supplementary lights. Furthermore, a portion of the supplementary light extends into the light-emitting hole, allowing it to emit light outwards through the light-emitting hole, supplementing the light to the surrounding environment of the vehicle, increasing ambient brightness, and facilitating clear image capture by the camera.

[0062] It should be noted that placing the auxiliary light inside the mounting cavity makes the internal structure of the rearview mirror more compact, reducing space occupation. Compared with installing the auxiliary light independently on the vehicle body, this further optimizes space utilization efficiency, reduces installation complexity and interference with the original vehicle structure, and can also provide physical protection for the auxiliary light to a certain extent, reducing the risk of damage to the auxiliary light from external factors and improving the service life and stability of the auxiliary light.

[0063] refer to Figures 1 to 6 According to the embodiments of this application, the vehicle includes a vehicle body and a rearview mirror as described in any of the above embodiments. The rearview mirror is connected to the side of the vehicle body and has a supplementary light inside. The supplementary light can provide supplementary lighting to the left and right sides of the vehicle body through a light outlet hole. By adjusting the installation angle of the rearview mirror relative to the side of the vehicle body, the illumination range of the supplementary light can also be adjusted to meet the supplementary lighting needs of different vehicle models.

[0064] Specifically, this application integrates a supplementary light into a rearview mirror, a common vehicle accessory, and rotatably connects the mirror to the vehicle body. Rotating the mirror adjusts the rearview angle to meet the basic needs of observing the rear environment. Furthermore, when the mirror is rotated, the projection angle of the supplementary light installed within it changes simultaneously, thereby adjusting the illumination range. Thus, the supplementary light of this application can provide supplementary lighting to the left and right sides of the vehicle body and the rear environment, making the surrounding environment clearer and facilitating accurate camera recognition. It can also adapt to the supplementary lighting needs of different vehicle models by changing the installation angle of the rearview mirror relative to the side of the vehicle body, overcoming the poor adaptability of existing supplementary lights. In addition, integrating the supplementary light into the rearview mirror avoids the space-consuming problem of installing an additional supplementary light, optimizes the space utilization efficiency of vehicle components, and reduces the installation inconvenience caused by excessively large supplementary lights.

[0065] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
