Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a vehicle lamp structure and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] A typical automotive headlight structure includes components such as a bulb, a reflector, and a headlight housing. The bulb and reflector are housed within the headlight housing. The reflector uses reflective materials and its curved surface design to reflect and adjust the light beam emitted by the bulb. Because the reflector's temperature rises rapidly after the headlight has been on for a period of time, leading to overheating of the headlight itself, which can damage the headlight module in severe cases, a heat dissipation structure is necessary inside the headlight to ensure its normal operation.
[0003] In related technologies, when assembling vehicle lights, reflectors and heat dissipation structures are installed as components inside the housing. However, this increases the number of components in the vehicle light structure, which not only increases the cost of the vehicle light but also makes the assembly of the vehicle light more complicated and affects the assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a vehicle lamp structure and a vehicle, which aims to improve the vehicle lamp structure to simplify it, thereby reducing the number of parts and further improving the assembly efficiency of the vehicle lamp structure.
[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0006] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a vehicle lamp structure, which includes a lamp housing and a lamp base, wherein the lamp base is connected to the lamp housing and together encloses a bulb compartment, a portion of the inner wall surface of the lamp base forms a reflective surface, and the reflective surface forms a portion of the compartment wall of the bulb compartment, wherein the lamp base is a metal part.
[0007] The headlight base forms the main structural body of the headlight, while the lamp housing encloses the bulb compartment within the base. The bulb houses the bulb, and correspondingly, a portion of the inner wall of the headlight base forms a reflective surface, which also partially forms the wall of the bulb compartment. Therefore, the reflective surface on the headlight base is located within the bulb compartment and positioned to reflect and adjust the light beam emitted by the bulb. Furthermore, the metal material has better thermal conductivity. After the headlight structure has been operating for a period of time, the headlight base, acting as a reflector, will experience a rapid temperature increase. This heat can be directly transferred to the outside environment, allowing the headlight base to cool down more quickly.
[0008] Therefore, the vehicle lamp structure provided in the first aspect of this application includes a lamp base and a lamp housing. The lamp housing is disposed on the lamp base and together with the lamp base forms a bulb compartment. Furthermore, a portion of the inner wall surface of the lamp base forms a reflective surface, which in turn forms a portion of the bulb compartment wall. In other words, the lamp base can achieve the reflective function of a reflector, thus eliminating the need for a separate reflector inside the lamp. In addition, the lamp base is made of a metal component with good thermal conductivity. This allows the large amount of heat generated when the lamp base is used as a reflector to be dissipated to the outside more quickly. Therefore, the base not only achieves the function of a reflector but also achieves heat dissipation through its own operation. This allows the lamp structure to dissipate heat without the need for an additional heat dissipation mechanism, reducing the number of components in the lamp structure and improving assembly efficiency.
[0009] In some embodiments, the lamp housing includes a mounting cylinder with an opening at at least one end. The lamp base includes a base body and a surrounding plate connected together. The surrounding plate is arranged around the outer periphery of the base body and passes through the opening to connect with the mounting cylinder. A portion of the base body's surface facing inward towards the mounting cylinder forms at least a partial reflective surface. This arrangement facilitates the mounting and mating of the lamp base and the lamp housing, thereby further improving assembly efficiency.
[0010] In some embodiments, the headlight structure further includes a seal sandwiched between the mounting cylinder and the enclosure, and the seal is circumferentially disposed around the outer periphery of the enclosure.
[0011] By incorporating seals, the airtightness of the bulb compartment within the headlight structure can be further ensured, preventing external elements such as rain or dust from entering the headlight and ensuring its normal operation, thereby extending its lifespan.
[0012] In some embodiments, an annular sealing groove is formed on the enclosure plate, a portion of the seal is disposed in the annular sealing groove, another portion of the seal extends out of the annular sealing groove, and the seal is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the mounting cylinder so that the seal fits more tightly with the cylinder wall of the mounting cylinder, thereby further improving the sealing effect of the seal.
[0013] In some embodiments, an annular gap is formed between the lamp base and the mounting cylinder, and the lamp structure also includes a connecting assembly. The lamp base is rotatably connected to the mounting cylinder through the connecting assembly, so that the lamp base can rotate relative to the mounting cylinder about any radial direction of the mounting cylinder.
[0014] By incorporating connecting components, the headlight base can rotate relative to the mounting cylinder, allowing the headlight to adjust its angle or height to adapt to different lighting needs in various driving scenarios and ensure optimal illumination. Furthermore, the annular gap provides space for the headlight base to rotate relative to the mounting cylinder, preventing interference between the headlight base and the lamp housing within the rotatable angle and ensuring proper rotation.
[0015] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly includes two connecting posts, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the enclosure and are coaxially arranged. A connecting hole is provided at the position of each connecting post on the mounting cylinder, and the connecting post passes through the corresponding connecting hole.
[0016] This design not only connects the headlight base to the headlight housing via the connecting post, but also defines the rotation axis of the headlight base, resulting in a simpler structure.
[0017] In some embodiments, the lamp structure further includes an adjustment component disposed on the lamp housing and drivenly connected to the lamp base, and the adjustment component is used to drive the lamp base to rotate relative to the mounting cylinder.
[0018] By setting adjustment components, the orientation or angle of the headlight base can be easily adjusted through the vehicle's control system or mechanical transmission mechanism, making operation more convenient and further enhancing the user experience.
[0019] In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment screw, which is disposed on the lamp housing and rotatably connected to the lamp housing; a spherical hole is provided on the lamp base, and a spherical connector that mates with the spherical surface of the spherical hole is provided inside the spherical hole; a threaded hole is provided on the spherical connector, and the adjustment screw is threadedly connected to the spherical connector through the threaded hole.
[0020] By adjusting the screw and the matching spherical connector, the angle or orientation of the headlight base relative to the headlight housing can be increased by simply turning the screw. The operation is convenient, the structure is simple, and the linkage effect is reliable and stable.
[0021] In some embodiments, the headlight base is a one-piece molded structure to further reduce the number of headlight parts, thereby simplifying the structure and improving assembly efficiency.
[0022] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a vehicle that includes the above-described headlight structure.
[0023] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment has the same beneficial effects as the above-described headlight structure, and will not be described again here. Attached Figure Description

[0041] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0042] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; 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; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0043] Traditional automotive headlights typically consist of components such as a bulb, reflector, and headlight housing. The bulb and reflector are housed within the headlight housing, and the reflector uses reflective materials and its curved surface design to reflect and adjust the light beam emitted by the bulb. Because the reflector's temperature rises rapidly after the headlight has been on for a period of time, leading to overheating of the headlight itself, which can damage the headlight module in severe cases, a heat dissipation structure is necessary inside the headlight to ensure its normal operation.
[0044] As mentioned in the background section, in related technologies, reflectors and heat dissipation structures are installed as components inside the housing. However, this increases the number of components in the headlight structure, which not only increases the cost of the headlight but also makes the headlight assembly more complex and affects assembly efficiency.
[0045] Based on the above, the applicant of this application has proposed a technical solution in the embodiments of this application. Specifically, the structure of the reflector is improved so that the reflector serves as the base of the vehicle lamp structure, not only realizing the reflection function, but also realizing heat dissipation through its own structure. Therefore, there is no need to set up an additional heat dissipation structure, thus not increasing the number of vehicle lamp parts. While ensuring heat dissipation, the vehicle lamp structure is simplified, avoiding the increase in vehicle lamp structure cost, and thus further improving assembly efficiency.
[0046] The above is the core idea of this application. The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0047] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a vehicle lamp structure, which includes a lamp base 10 and a lamp housing 20. The lamp housing 20 is disposed on the lamp base 10 and together with the lamp base 10 forms a bulb compartment 100. A portion of the inner wall surface of the lamp base 10 forms a reflective surface 200, which forms a portion of the compartment wall of the bulb compartment 100 for reflecting the light emitted by the bulb.
[0048] Specifically, the lamp base 10 forms the main structural body of the lamp, and the lamp housing 20 serves to enclose the bulb compartment on the lamp base 10. It can be understood that the lamp base 10 is one part of the lamp's housing structure, and the lamp housing 20 is another part, together with the lamp base 10 forming a complete lamp and enclosing the bulb compartment for mounting the bulb 32 and other components. Correspondingly, a reflective surface 200 for reflecting light is formed on the portion of the lamp base 10 located inside the bulb compartment. Since the bulb 32 is housed inside the bulb compartment, the reflective surface 200 on the lamp base 10 is located inside the bulb compartment and corresponding to the bulb 32, to reflect and adjust the light beam emitted by the bulb 32.
[0049] This configuration allows the headlight base 10 to not only serve as the main mounting body for the headlight structure but also to function as a reflector. In other words, compared to the traditional method of separately mounting a reflector structure inside the housing, the headlight structure provided in this application embodiment achieves the function of a reflector through the headlight base 10, thus integrating the reflector with a portion of the headlight housing.
[0050] For example, a bulb 32 is provided inside the lamp housing to serve as the light source for the vehicle lamp. In a specific implementation, the vehicle lamp structure includes a light-emitting component 30. The light-emitting component 30 includes a lamp holder 31 and a bulb 32. The bulb 32 is disposed on the lamp holder 31 and mounted on the vehicle lamp base 10 via the lamp holder 31. The vehicle lamp base 10 has a mounting opening connecting the exterior of the vehicle lamp to the bulb housing. The lamp holder 31 is disposed outside the mounting opening, and the bulb 32 can extend into the bulb housing through the mounting opening. See [link to details] for further information. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown.
[0051] Correspondingly, the reflective surface 200 on the headlight base 10 is located inside the bulb housing and is positioned corresponding to the bulb 32 to reflect and adjust the light beam emitted by the bulb 32. Specifically, the bulb 32 can be positioned along the centerline of the headlight base 10 and at the center of the reflective surface 200. This allows the reflective surface 200, located on the outer periphery of the bulb 32, to reflect the light beam emitted by the bulb 32 from various directions. See [link to relevant documentation] for details. Figure 4 As shown. Of course, in other embodiments, the bulb 32 may also be located at other positions relative to the reflective surface 200, as long as the reflective effect of the reflective surface 200 is achieved.
[0052] Furthermore, the headlight base 10 is made of metal.
[0053] After the headlight structure has been working for a certain period of time, the headlight base 10, which acts as a reflector, will experience a rapid increase in temperature. Compared with traditional plastic reflectors, the metal headlight base 10 has better heat conduction. Furthermore, since the headlight base 10 is part of the headlight housing structure, the heat on the headlight base 10 can be directly transferred to the outside, thus enabling the headlight base 10 to cool down faster.
[0054] In summary, the vehicle lamp structure provided in this application includes a lamp base 10 and a lamp housing 20. The lamp housing 20 is disposed on the lamp base 10 and together with the lamp base 10 forms a bulb housing. Furthermore, a reflective surface 200 for reflecting light is formed on the portion of the lamp base 10 located inside the bulb housing. In other words, the lamp base 10 can achieve the reflective function of a reflector, thus eliminating the need for a separate reflector inside the lamp. In addition, the lamp base 10 is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, so the large amount of heat generated when the lamp base 10 is used as a reflector can be dissipated to the outside more quickly. Therefore, the base not only achieves the function of a reflector but also achieves heat dissipation through its own means, enabling the lamp structure to dissipate heat without the need for an additional heat dissipation mechanism, reducing the number of components in the lamp structure and improving assembly efficiency.
[0055] The vehicle light structure provided in this application embodiment can be, for example, a vehicle fog light, a vehicle headlight, or a vehicle taillight. In specific applications, the size or installation position of the vehicle light structure can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual situation. This embodiment takes the application of the above-mentioned vehicle light structure to a vehicle fog light as an example for illustration.
[0056] In a specific implementation, the lamp base 10 can be made of aluminum. Aluminum not only has good thermal conductivity but is also lightweight, enabling a lightweight design. Furthermore, aluminum is corrosion-resistant and easily ductile, properties that contribute to the lamp's lifespan and ease of manufacturing. In this embodiment, the lamp base 10 can be formed using a cast aluminum process.
[0057] Of course, in other embodiments, the headlight base 10 may also be made of other metals or alloys with good thermal conductivity, or may be manufactured using other processes.
[0058] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the lamp housing 20 includes a mounting cylinder 21 with an opening at its end. Based on this, the vehicle lamp base 10 includes a base body 11 and a surrounding plate 12. The surrounding plate 12 is arranged around the outer periphery of the base body 11, and the base body 11 is fitted onto the end opening of the mounting cylinder 21 through the surrounding plate 12. The portion of the base body 11 facing the inside of the mounting cylinder 21 forms at least a partial reflective surface 200.
[0059] The headlight base 10 is connected to the mounting cylinder 21 via the enclosure plate 12. In this way, a part of the surface of the base body 11 will be located inside the mounting cylinder 21 after connection. At this time, the surface of the base body 11 located inside the mounting cylinder 21 and the cylinder wall of the mounting cylinder 21 together form the bulb compartment mentioned above.
[0060] In practice, the mounting cylinder 21 is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. The surrounding plate 12 can be fitted onto the outside of the mounting cylinder 21 or onto the inside of the mounting cylinder 21, as long as the reflective surface 200 on the base body 11 faces inward toward the mounting cylinder 21. In this embodiment, the example of the surrounding plate 12 being fitted onto the inside of the mounting cylinder 21 is used for illustration.
[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the extended shape of the enclosure 12 matches the extended shape of the mounting cylinder 21. At the same time, in order to allow the enclosure 12 to be fitted into the mounting cylinder 21, the outer contour dimension of the enclosure 12 can be slightly smaller than the inner diameter dimension of the mounting cylinder 21. This allows the enclosure 12 to be smoothly fitted into the mounting cylinder 21 while preventing excessive gaps that could cause light or water leakage from the vehicle lights.
[0062] After the base body 11 is connected to the mounting cylinder 21 via the surrounding plate 12, the base body 11 can be entirely located within the mounting cylinder 21, or only a portion of it can be located within the mounting cylinder 21, depending on the design size of the vehicle headlight structure. Furthermore, the mounting cylinder 21 and the surrounding plate 12 can be regular cylindrical structures, or the plane containing the end opening can form an angle with its own axis that is not equal to 90 degrees. Specifically, the shape of the mounting cylinder 21 and the surrounding plate 12 can be adjusted according to the required tilt angle design of the end opening of the vehicle headlight.
[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting cylinder 21 has openings at both ends, and the base body 11 is fitted onto one of the end openings via a surrounding plate 12. Exemplarily, the lamp structure also includes a lamp cover 40, which covers the other end opening of the mounting cylinder 21. The lamp cover 40 can seal the bulb compartment formed by the lamp base 10 and the lamp housing 20, and protect the component structures inside the bulb compartment.
[0064] In practice, the lamp cover 40 is a transparent plastic part so as to provide the above-mentioned protection without affecting the emission of the light beam. The light-emitting component 30 can be set at the position of the base body 11 facing the lamp cover 40. Correspondingly, the reflective surface 200 formed on the lamp base 10 is also set towards the lamp cover 40, and the light-emitting component 30 can be set, for example, at the center of the reflective surface 200.
[0065] Furthermore, a portion of the surface of the base body 11 facing the interior of the mounting cylinder 21 can form a reflective surface 200, and another portion of the surface of the enclosure 12 located inside the bulb compartment can form a reflective surface 200. See details [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 As shown. This setting enhances the reflection effect of the light beam.
[0066] In one feasible approach, the lamp base 10 can be a one-piece molded structure. This configuration further reduces the number of lamp components, thereby simplifying the structure and improving assembly efficiency. Specifically, the lamp base 10 can be die-cast from metal material.
[0067] Some types of vehicle headlights require adjustments to meet the lighting needs of different driving scenarios. For example, a vehicle's rear fog lights need to adjust their beam height or angle according to different external environmental conditions to ensure adequate illumination. Therefore, vehicle headlights need to have the ability to adjust the beam angle or height.
[0068] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, an annular gap is formed between the lamp base 10 and the mounting cylinder 21. Furthermore, the lamp structure also includes a connecting component 50. The lamp base 10 is rotatably connected to the mounting cylinder 21 through the connecting component 50, so that the lamp base 10 can rotate relative to the mounting cylinder 21 about the radial direction of the mounting cylinder 21.
[0069] The annular gap between the headlight base 10 and the mounting cylinder 21 provides space for the headlight base 10 to rotate relative to the mounting cylinder 21, allowing the headlight base 10 to rotate relative to the mounting cylinder 21 at a certain angle, and within the rotatable angle, it will not interfere with the mounting cylinder 21, thus affecting the realization of the rotation.
[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting assembly 50 further includes two connecting posts 51, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the enclosure 12 along the radial direction of the mounting cylinder 21, and the two connecting posts 51 are coaxially arranged. Correspondingly, a connecting hole 521 is provided at the position of each connecting post 51 on the mounting cylinder 21. Each connecting post 51 can be inserted into a corresponding connecting hole 521 and can rotate relative to the connecting hole 521, thereby driving the headlight base 10 to rotate relative to the mounting cylinder 21.
[0071] In this way, the headlight base 10 and the mounting cylinder 21 are not only connected by the connecting post 51, but the axis of rotation is also determined by the connecting post 51, so that the headlight base 10 can rotate relative to the mounting cylinder 21.
[0072] For example, the connecting assembly 50 may further include two connecting ears 52, which are respectively disposed at the positions of the corresponding two connecting posts 51 on the mounting cylinder 21. Connecting holes 521 are correspondingly formed on the connecting ears 52, which makes it easier for the headlight base 10 and the mounting cylinder 21 to be aligned and connected. See the details below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.
[0073] In practice, the connecting ear 52 can be flipped relative to the mounting cylinder 21. Thus, when the headlight base 10 is fitted into the mounting cylinder 21, the connecting ear 52 can be flipped toward the headlight base 10 so that the connecting post 51 can be inserted into the connecting hole 521 on the connecting ear 52.
[0074] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotation of the lamp base 10 relative to the mounting cylinder 21 can also be achieved in other ways, such as by providing a bearing between the lamp base 10 and the mounting cylinder 21, so as to achieve the rotation of the lamp base 10 relative to the mounting cylinder 21 through the bearing.
[0075] Based on the fact that the lamp base 10 can rotate relative to the mounting cylinder 21, the lamp structure can be further included with an adjustment component 60, which can be used to drive the lamp base 10 to rotate relative to the mounting cylinder 21.
[0076] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, the adjustment component 60 is disposed outside the lamp housing 20 and is connected to the lamp base 10 via a transmission connection. The adjustment component 60 can drive the lamp base 10 to rotate relative to the mounting cylinder 21. By driving the lamp base 10 to rotate relative to the mounting cylinder 21 through the adjustment component 60, the angle or height of the beam emitted by the lamp can be easily controlled and adjusted at any time through the vehicle's control system or mechanical transmission mechanism, thereby achieving automated lamp adjustment and improving the user experience.
[0077] In one possible implementation, the adjustment assembly 60 includes an adjustment screw 61, which is mounted on and rotatably connected to the lamp housing 20. Furthermore, the lamp base 10 has a spherical hole 13, within which a spherical connector 62 is disposed, engaging with the spherical surface of the hole 13. The spherical connector 62 has a threaded hole, allowing the adjustment screw 61 to be threadedly connected to the spherical connector 62 through the threaded hole.
[0078] By setting an adjusting screw 61 and a matching spherical connector 62, the angle or orientation of the headlight base 10 relative to the headlight housing 20 can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw 61, thereby adjusting the height or angle of the headlight beam. The operation is convenient, the structure is simple, and the linkage effect is reliable and stable.
[0079] When the adjusting screw 61 rotates, its position relative to the lamp housing 20 remains unchanged; it rotates around its own axis. Specifically, a first mounting member 22 can be provided on the outer side of the mounting cylinder 21 of the lamp housing 20, and a hole can be made in the first mounting member 22. The adjusting screw 61 passes through the hole to achieve a rotatable connection with the lamp housing 20. Furthermore, since the adjusting screw 61 is threadedly connected to the spherical connector 62, the position of the spherical connector 62 relative to the adjusting screw 61 will change when the adjusting screw 61 rotates.
[0080] With the position of the lamp housing 20 as the reference position, meaning the position of the lamp housing 20 does not change, when the adjusting screw 61 rotates, the spherical connector 62, which is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 61, changes position along the axial direction of the adjusting screw 61. Since the spherical connector 62 is located within the spherical hole 13 of the lamp base 10, the change in the position of the spherical connector 62 causes a change in the position of the lamp base 10 relative to the lamp housing 20. This causes a change in the height or angle of the bulb 32 and the reflector 200 mounted on the lamp base 10, thus changing the height or angle of the lamp's beam.
[0081] Since the lamp base 10 is rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve 21 of the lamp housing 20, the spherical connector 62 is spherically engaged with the spherical hole 13 on the lamp base 10. Thus, when the spherical connector 62 moves along the axial direction of the adjusting screw 61, the angle of the lamp base 10 can be changed to adapt to the movement of the spherical connector 62.
[0082] Similarly, to facilitate the installation of the spherical connector 62 and its engagement with the adjusting screw 61, a second mounting member 14 can be provided on the lamp base 10. The position of the second mounting member 14 corresponds to the position of the first mounting member 22 on the lamp housing 20, and a spherical hole 13 is formed on the second mounting member 14. The spherical connector is correspondingly installed in the spherical hole 13 on the second mounting member 14. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 As shown.
[0083] Preferably, the first mounting member 22 and the second mounting member 14 can be disposed on another radial direction perpendicular to the radial direction of the connecting assembly 50. Of course, in other feasible ways, the first mounting member 22 and the second mounting member 14 can also be disposed at other locations.
[0084] It should be noted that the spherical hole 13 mentioned in this embodiment has an arc-shaped wall, which is a portion of a sphere. Similarly, the spherical connector 62 has an arc-shaped outer surface, also a portion of a sphere. Furthermore, the spherical connector 62 mates with the spherical hole 13, meaning it can rotate within the spherical hole 13 around the center point of the sphere. Additionally, the spherical connector 62 may have a portion of its structure that mates with the spherical hole 13, while the portion not mates with the spherical hole 13 can be of other shapes. Moreover, the size of the hole wall area of the spherical hole 13 can be adaptively designed according to the structural specifications at the location of the spherical hole 13, as long as the spherical connector 62 and the spherical hole 13 can mate.
[0085] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle lamp structure further includes a seal 70, which is sandwiched between the mounting cylinder 21 of the lamp housing 20 and the surrounding plate 12 of the vehicle lamp base 10, and the seal 70 is arranged around the outer periphery of the surrounding plate 12.
[0086] To ensure the airtightness of the headlight structure, a sealing element 70 is installed between the mounting cylinder 21 and the enclosure plate 12, thereby sealing the bulb compartment and preventing external rainwater or dust from entering the headlight, ensuring the normal operation of the headlight structure. Specifically, the sealing element 70 can be made of rubber or silicone to ensure a good seal after installation, while avoiding wear on the surfaces of the mounting cylinder 21 or the enclosure plate 12.
[0087] Furthermore, an annular sealing groove can be provided on the enclosure plate 12, a part of the sealing element 70 is placed in the annular sealing groove, and another part of the sealing element 70 extends out of the annular sealing groove. The part of the sealing element 70 extending out of the annular sealing groove is interference-fitted with the cylinder wall of the mounting cylinder 21.
[0088] The seal 70 is interference-fitted with the mounting cylinder 21 and the surrounding plate 12, which allows the seal 70 to undergo slight deformation, thereby making the seal 70 fit more tightly against the cylinder wall of the mounting cylinder 21, thus further improving the sealing effect.
[0089] Furthermore, in one feasible embodiment, the seal 70 can be configured to have a base and a surrounding edge, wherein the base is disposed within an annular sealing groove, and the surrounding edge is disposed on the side of the base facing outward from the annular sealing groove and abuts against the wall of the mounting cylinder 21. Further, to improve the sealing effect of the seal 70, the surrounding edge can be configured as at least two layers, with the at least two layers of surrounding edge arranged axially along the mounting cylinder 21.
[0090] The second aspect of this application also provides a vehicle, including a body and the aforementioned headlight structure. Specifically, the headlight structure is installed at the front and rear of the vehicle body and is symmetrically arranged along the vehicle's central axis. The headlight structure can be, for example, a fog light, a headlight, or a taillight. In specific applications, the size or installation position of the headlight structure can be adaptively adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0091] The structure of the headlights has been described in detail in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0092] The vehicle provided in this embodiment includes a headlight structure comprising a headlight base 10 and a headlight housing 20. The headlight housing 20 is disposed on the headlight base 10 and together with the headlight base 10 forms a bulb housing. Furthermore, a reflective surface 200 for reflecting light is formed on the portion of the headlight base 10 located inside the bulb housing. In other words, the headlight base 10 can achieve the reflective function of a reflector, thus eliminating the need for a separate reflector inside the headlight. In addition, the headlight base 10 is made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, so the large amount of heat generated when the headlight base 10 is used as a reflector can be dissipated to the outside more quickly. Therefore, the base not only performs the function of a reflector but also achieves heat dissipation through its own means, enabling the headlight structure to dissipate heat without the need for an additional heat dissipation mechanism, reducing the number of headlight structures and improving assembly efficiency.
[0093] It should be noted that the vehicle provided in this embodiment should also include other modules or components that enable the vehicle to operate normally. Here, the other modules or components included in the vehicle provided in this embodiment will not be described one by one.
[0094] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
