Description

[0002] With the widespread use of headlights equipped with daytime running lights, the internal space and heat dissipation issues of these lamps urgently need to be optimized and resolved. Daytime running lights generate a lot of heat while providing illumination, and effective cooling measures are necessary to ensure the lifespan of the lamps.

[0003] In response, existing technologies typically use high thermal conductivity aluminum components as heat sinks. However, aluminum components have problems such as high manufacturing costs and large weight. Furthermore, for heat sinks made of metal, a suitable fastening structure is needed to assemble the thick-walled light guide. For example, CN211502619U discloses an LED thick-walled light guide corner lamp, in which the heat sink and the thick-walled light guide are connected by screws.

[0004] While existing technologies, such as the separate assembly of thick-walled components and radiators, can meet the usage requirements, further structural optimization is needed to simplify the assembly process and reduce production costs. Utility Model Content

[0034] To make the contents of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a thick-walled heat dissipation integrated component, including: an integrally injection-molded thick-walled component 1 and a heat sink; wherein the thick-walled component 1 is made of a translucent material, and the heat sink is made of an opaque material. For example, in an optional case, the thick-walled component 1 is made of, for example, but not limited to, PC or PMMA material, and the heat sink is made of a plastic with a high thermal conductivity, such as, but not limited to, alumina-filled PA6 or PP, and the color is opaque dark gray or matte black.

[0037] More specifically, the first example is the thick-walled component 1. Taking the accompanying drawings as an example of an optional and easily processed case, the thick-walled component 1 adopts a flat structure with a light-incident surface 10 and a light-exit surface designed on it. The light-incident surface 10 and the light-exit surface are distributed on two oppositely arranged end faces of the thick-walled component 1. For the flat structure, it generally includes two oppositely arranged end faces with slightly larger areas and four end faces with relatively smaller areas connected in the circumferential direction. At this time, the light-incident surface 10 and the light-exit surface are located on one of the pair of end faces with smaller surface areas. In the following description of the embodiments, the two end faces with slightly larger areas are named "large end faces 9".

[0038] Based on the above structure, furthermore, from the perspective of optimizing optical effects, in one optional embodiment, the light-incident surface 10 of the thick-walled member 1 is a freeform surface; and the light-exiting surface of the thick-walled member 1 is provided with an optical pattern 8, which is, for example, but not limited to, a rhombus, a corn kernel, or a square. In addition, the end faces of the thick-walled member 1 other than the light-incident surface 10 and the light-exiting surface are designed with a texture to weaken stray light, thereby optimizing the optical effect.

[0039] Secondly, the heat sink includes a connecting portion for connecting to the thick-walled member 1 and a fin portion 2 connected to the end of the connecting portion away from the thick-walled member 1. The connecting portion is connected to one of the "large end faces 9" of the thick-walled member 1 so that the light-incident surface 10 of the thick-walled member 1 faces the fin portion 2, and the "large end face 9" connected to the connecting portion is located above the light-incident surface 10. This makes the connecting portion block the light in the area above the light-incident surface 10, so that the connecting portion area can just serve as a local light-blocking structure of the thick-walled member 1.

[0040] Referring to the accompanying drawings, in one specific optional embodiment, the connecting portion includes a first base 12 and a second base 13 that are bent and connected together. The first base 12 is used to connect with the thick-walled member 1, and the second base 13 is used to connect with the finned portion 2. The finned portion 2 is designed with a plurality of heat dissipation fins 6 arranged in an array; and the surface of each heat dissipation fin 6 is provided with a rough textured structure 7 to increase the contact area between the heat dissipation structure and the air, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation performance.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-incident surface 10 and the light-exit surface of the thick-walled member 1 are parallel to each other; and the light-incident surface 10 of the thick-walled member 1 is inclined relative to the mounting surface, and the lateral distance between the end of the thick-walled member 10 connected to the first substrate 12 and the mounting surface is smaller than the lateral distance between the end of the light-incident surface 10 away from the first substrate 12 and the mounting surface. Based on this, furthermore, an obtuse angle is formed between the first substrate 12 and the second substrate 13; and the end face of the first substrate 12 facing the mounting surface is flush with and coplanar with the light-incident surface 10; or the end face of the first substrate 12 facing the mounting surface protrudes from the light-incident surface 10.

[0042] Furthermore, it should be noted that, considering the need for the thick-walled heat dissipation integrated component of this embodiment to be assembled with the LED module 3 when applied in a specific automotive lighting module, a mounting surface is formed at the end of the fin portion 2 facing the light-incident surface 10 of the thick-walled component 1. Based on this, the light emitted by the light source 4 on the LED module 3 can be directed directly towards the light-incident surface 10. Here, in an optional embodiment, the mounting surface is provided with a recessed groove for applying thermal grease 11. This can accelerate the dissipation of heat generated during the use of the LED module 3.

[0043] In summary, for the thick-walled heat dissipation integrated component of this embodiment, the thick-walled component 1 and the heat sink are integrally injection molded. Under the premise of simultaneously satisfying optical performance and heat dissipation performance, on the one hand, the weight of the overall structure can be reduced to meet the lightweight requirements of the automotive lamp module using this thick-walled heat dissipation integrated component. On the other hand, the structure can be simplified, so that the thick-walled component 1 and the heat sink have a high degree of integration, which facilitates production and assembly and reduces costs.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, based on the thick-walled heat dissipation integrated component of the embodiment, this embodiment provides a vehicle light module, including: the thick-walled heat dissipation integrated component of embodiment 1 and an LED module 3 for fixing on the mounting surface of the heat sink.

[0046] Based on the above, in order to improve the efficiency of assembling the LED module 3 onto the mounting surface, a positioning rivet 5 for fixing the LED module 3 is designed on the mounting surface.

[0047] Based on the above structure, the LED module 3 with light source 4 is fixed to the mounting surface of the heat sink by positioning rivets 5; the light source 4 is incident on the light-incident surface 10 of the thick-walled part 1 and emitted through the light-out surface with optical patterns 8 to achieve uniform lighting.

[0048] In summary, the headlight module of this embodiment not only achieves a lightweight effect, but also simplifies the assembly process during production, thus reducing the overall production cost of the headlight module.
