Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive headlight technology, specifically, it relates to a headlight assembly. Background Technology

[0002] For automotive headlights, the front combination lamps typically use a single-color thick-walled component design for the signal light function. However, this design suffers from several drawbacks. First, the gap between the thick-walled component and the decorative frame is difficult to control, resulting in an unattractive appearance. Second, the decorative frame can easily scratch the sides of the thick-walled component during assembly. Third, the edges of the thick-walled component and the decorative frame are prone to wear and powdering during driving. Fourth, the thick-walled component is unobstructed at the front of the mounting bracket, revealing some internal structural lines that appear somewhat messy and unsightly. Finally, the installation of the headlight source panel for automotive headlights generally requires two workstations in two directions, necessitating two workers, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] Chinese patent (publication number: 215675047U) discloses an ultra-thin LED side turn signal, including a lampshade, a decorative frame, an LED light source board, and a base. The lampshade and the base are sealed together to form a cavity. The LED light source board is mounted on the decorative frame and is positioned within the cavity via the decorative frame. A first fixing structure and a second fixing structure are provided on the back of the decorative frame. The LED light source board includes a first light source board and a second light source board. The first light source board is fixed to the back of the decorative frame via the first fixing structure, and the second light source board is fixed to the back of the decorative frame via the second fixing structure. The installation of the first and second light source boards is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model is designed to solve the above-mentioned problems and aims to provide a headlight assembly that simplifies the installation of the light source board and saves manpower. To achieve the above objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a headlight assembly, including a lamp body, a lamp body bracket, a lamp cover and a decorative frame, wherein a thick-walled component structure is provided on the lamp body bracket, and the thick-walled component structure is connected to the light source board assembly.

[0005] The thick-walled component structure includes a first thick-walled component and a second thick-walled component. A sliding plate is provided on the second thick-walled component. The light source plate assembly includes a first light source plate and a second light source plate. The first light source plate is connected to the first thick-walled component. A sliding groove is provided on the second light source plate, and the sliding groove cooperates with the sliding plate.

[0006] The second light source board is provided with a fixing groove, and the second thick-walled member is provided with a retaining plate, which is located in the fixing groove and abuts against the fixing groove.

[0007] The second light source board is provided with a limiting groove, and the second thick-walled member is provided with a limiting plate, the limiting plate being located inside the limiting groove and abutting against the limiting groove.

[0008] The decorative frame is provided with a third thick-walled component, which is an integral injection-molded structure with the decorative frame.

[0009] A light-blocking plate is provided on one side of the third thick-walled component.

[0021] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a headlight assembly includes a lamp body 1, a lamp body bracket 2, a lamp cover 3, and a decorative frame 4. A thick-walled structure 5 is mounted on the lamp body bracket 2, and a light source board assembly 6 is connected to the thick-walled structure 5. The lamp body 1 is the core load-bearing component of the headlight assembly, used to house and protect key components such as the internal light source and circuitry, providing a basic framework and structural support for the entire headlight. The lamp body bracket 2 connects to the lamp body 1, acting as a bridge between the lamp body 1 and the vehicle, supporting and fixing the lamp body 1. The lamp cover 3 covers the front of the lamp body 1, protecting the internal light source and optical components, preventing dust, rain, foreign objects, etc., from entering the lamp body and affecting its normal operation. Simultaneously, the lamp cover 3 also has optical adjustment and light-scattering functions, ensuring that the light emitted by the light source is evenly distributed according to design requirements, improving the lighting effect and range, and ensuring vehicle driving safety. The decorative frame 4 is fixedly connected to the lamp cover 3 and the lamp body 1, ensuring a secure installation. The thick-walled component structure 5 is connected to the light source board assembly 6. The light source board assembly 6 includes two light source boards, which require two workstations for installation in both directions, requiring two operators. In order to reduce the number of personnel, the installation method of the second light source board was changed, thereby reducing the number of workstations and saving manpower.

[0023] The thick-walled component structure 5 includes a first thick-walled component 51 and a second thick-walled component 52. A sliding plate 521 is provided on the second thick-walled component 52. The light source plate assembly 6 includes a first light source plate 61 and a second light source plate 62. The first light source plate 61 is connected to the first thick-walled component 51. The second light source plate 62 has a sliding groove 621 that cooperates with the sliding plate 521. The first light source plate 61 is fixedly connected to the first thick-walled component 51, and the second light source plate 62 is connected to the second thick-walled component 52. The sliding groove 621 on the second light source plate 62 cooperates with the sliding plate 521 on the second thick-walled component 52. The sliding groove 621 is aligned with the sliding plate 521 and slids through it. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove 621 and the sliding plate 521, the second light source plate 62 is limited and fixed. The first light source plate 61 is fixed with screws, first positioned and then locked. If the second light source plate 62 is also connected with screws, the angle needs to be adjusted and tightened at another station to prevent interference between the second light source plate 62 and the first light source plate 61. This requires two operators. By changing the fixing method of the second light source board 62, the station switching is eliminated. The second light source board 62 is fixed by the cooperation of the slide groove 621 and the slide plate 521. Then, there will be no interference problem in fixing the first light source board 61. The installation of the first light source board 61 and the second light source board 62 is completed at the same station.

[0024] The second light source plate 62 is provided with a fixing groove 622, and the second thick-walled member 52 is provided with a retaining plate 522. The retaining plate 522 is located in the fixing groove 622 and abuts against the fixing groove 622. The retaining plate 522 itself is elastic. After the second light source plate 62 is limited and fixed by the cooperation of the sliding groove 621 and the sliding plate 521, the retaining plate 522 is inserted into the fixing groove 622 to further fix the second light source plate 62.

[0025] The second light source plate 62 is provided with a limiting groove 623, and the second thick-walled member 52 is provided with a limiting plate 523. The limiting plate 523 is located within the limiting groove 623 and abuts against the limiting groove 623. Both the limiting groove 623 and the limiting plate 523 are square structures. By engaging the limiting plate 523 into the limiting groove 623, the second light source plate 62 is further fixed, ensuring the stable operation of the second light source plate 62.

[0026] The decorative frame 4 is equipped with a third thick-walled component 7, which is an integral injection-molded structure with the decorative frame 4. The third thick-walled component 7 is colorless and transparent, while the decorative frame 4 is black and transparent. During injection molding, the colorless and transparent thick-walled component material is first injected into the mold, followed by the black decorative frame material. After the mold cools, the two-color thick-walled component is formed, thus achieving seamless bonding between the colorless and transparent thick-walled component and the decorative frame, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Normally, the gap between the thick-walled component and the decorative frame 4 is difficult to control, leading to an unattractive appearance. During assembly, the decorative frame 4 is prone to scratching the sides of the thick-walled component, and during driving, the edges of the thick-walled component and the decorative frame 4 are prone to powdering. By making the third thick-walled component 7 and the decorative frame 4 an integral injection-molded structure, zero gap is achieved when the third thick-walled component 7 and the decorative frame 4 are fitted together, eliminating the assembly process, the risk of scratches, and the two-color molding of the third thick-walled component 7 and the decorative frame 4 as a single injection molding process, preventing powdering.

[0027] A light-blocking plate 8 is provided on one side of the third thick-walled component 7. The front of the third thick-walled component 7 is unobstructed, and some internal structural lines can be seen. The lines are somewhat messy and the appearance is not good. By adding a light-blocking plate 8, which is black, the unsightly appearance of the third thick-walled component 7 from the outside view is blocked.

[0028] The first light source plate 61 is screwed to the first thick-walled member 51. The screw connection between the first light source plate 61 and the first thick-walled member 51 makes the connection between the first light source plate 61 and the first thick-walled member 51 more stable.

[0029] The light-blocking plate 8 has an L-shaped structure. One side of the light-blocking plate 8 abuts against the first thick-walled member 51, and the other side of the light-blocking plate 8 abuts against the third thick-walled member 7. The vertical edge of the light-blocking plate 8 contacts the side of the first thick-walled member 51, and the horizontal edge contacts the upper surface of the third thick-walled member 7. This can limit the movement of the first thick-walled member 51 and the third thick-walled member 7, and also block the first thick-walled member 51 and the third thick-walled member 7, making the headlight assembly look more aesthetically pleasing.

[0030] The role and effect of the embodiments

[0031] The second light source board 62 is fixed in place by the cooperation of the slide groove 621 and the slide plate 521. The first light source board 61 is fixed with screws, requiring positioning before tightening. If the second light source board 62 were also connected with screws, its angle would need to be adjusted and tightened at another station to prevent interference with the first light source board 61. This would require two operators. By changing the fixing method of the second light source board 62, the station switching is eliminated. The cooperation of the slide groove 621 and the slide plate 521 achieves the fixed placement of the second light source board 62, and the subsequent fixing of the first light source board 61 will not cause interference. The installation of the first light source board 61 and the second light source board 62 can be completed at the same station.

[0032] By integrally injection molding the third thick-walled component 7 with the decorative frame 4, the third thick-walled component 7 and the decorative frame 4 can be fitted with zero gap, without assembly process, and there is no risk of scratches. The third thick-walled component 7 and the decorative frame 4 are integrally injection molded in two colors, and no powdering occurs.

[0033] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
