Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive lighting, specifically to an ambient light. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, ambient lighting used to achieve a welcoming flowing effect often employs multiple independent light-emitting units combined with complex control circuits. The flowing effect is created by controlling the lighting sequence of different light-emitting elements. This structure not only involves a large number of parts and complex assembly, leading to high production costs, but also the shape of the luminous area is often fixed by the arrangement of the light-emitting elements, making it difficult to flexibly adjust according to actual needs and limiting its application in different scenarios. For example, in automotive welcoming scenarios, different car models have different requirements for the shape of the luminous area of ​​the welcoming flowing ambient lighting. Existing fixed-shape ambient lights are difficult to adapt to multiple car models, increasing design and manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide an ambient light that has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, has low production cost, and allows for customization of the light-emitting area according to actual needs.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides an ambient light, including: a vehicle headlight base, a light guide bracket on the vehicle headlight base, a plurality of light guides on the light guide bracket, a PCB board fixedly connected to the same side of the vehicle headlight base and the light guide bracket, a light source controller and a plurality of LED light sources on the PCB board, the light source controller being connected to the vehicle body controller and the plurality of LED light sources respectively, and the plurality of LED light sources being connected one-to-one with the plurality of light guides.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the headlight bracket can be mounted on the vehicle body, and the light source controller can control the operation of multiple LED light sources. The light emitted by the LED light sources is displayed through light guides, thereby achieving a welcoming water flow effect. This structure has few components and a simple design, resulting in convenient assembly and low production costs. The position of the light guides can be set according to the vehicle model, thus allowing for customization of the luminous area based on actual needs.

[0007] Optionally, the headlight base is also provided with a painted laser-engraved plate, and a portion of the light guide bracket is located between the painted laser-engraved plate and the headlight base.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, after the light guide achieves the welcoming water effect, the light can pass through the painted laser-engraved panel and shine out from the laser-engraved area, thereby achieving further customization of the light-emitting area.

[0009] Optionally, the light guide bracket is provided with multiple limiting grooves arranged side by side at equal intervals, and the multiple light guides are located one-to-one in the multiple limiting grooves.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting groove can position the light guide.

[0011] Optionally, the limiting groove is provided with multiple card holders, and the light guide is secured in the limiting groove through the multiple card holders.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the optical guide can be connected by a card holder, which can improve the stability of the optical guide installation.

[0013] Optionally, the light guide is made of PMMA material.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, PMMA material has good light guiding performance, which can ensure the welcoming water flow effect of the light guide.

[0015] Optionally, the spray-painted laser engraving board is made of PC emulsion material board, and the spray-painted laser engraving board has a black paint layer, on which the shape pattern of the light-emitting area is printed.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the black paint layer can block light, and the light from the light guide can pass through the shape and pattern of the light-emitting area, thereby achieving further customization of the light-emitting area and improving the versatility and adaptability of the ambient light.

[0017] In summary, this utility model has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] 1. Simple structure: The welcoming water effect is achieved by lighting up multiple light guides in sequence, eliminating the need for complex multiple independent light-emitting elements and control circuits, reducing the number of parts and simplifying the assembly process.

[0019] 2. Low cost: The use of parts is reduced, which lowers production and assembly costs. At the same time, the laser peeling process is easy to operate, further reducing processing costs.

[0020] 3. Flexible shape of the luminous area: Using laser stripping technology, the shape of the luminous area can be freely defined according to actual needs, which can adapt to different application scenarios and improve the versatility and adaptability of the ambient light.

[0029] This embodiment provides an ambient light.

[0030] refer to Figure 1-5An ambient light includes: a headlight base 1, a light guide bracket 2 snapped onto the headlight base 1, and multiple light guides 3 installed side-by-side at equal intervals on the light guide bracket 2. A PCB board 4 is fixedly connected to the same side of the headlight base 1 and the light guide bracket 2. A light source controller and a number of LED light sources 5 corresponding to the number of light guides 3 are installed on the PCB board 4. The light source controller is connected to the body controller and the multiple LED light sources 5, and the multiple LED light sources 5 are connected one-to-one with the multiple light guides 3. A painted laser-engraved plate 6 is also snapped onto the headlight base 1, and a portion of the light guide bracket 2 is located between the painted laser-engraved plate 6 and the headlight base 1.

[0031] Multiple limiting grooves 7 are integrally formed side by side with equal spacing on the light guide bracket 2, and multiple light guides 3 are located one-to-one in the multiple limiting grooves 7. Multiple retainers 8 are integrally formed in the limiting grooves 7, and the light guides 3 are secured in the limiting grooves 7 by the multiple retainers 8.

[0032] In this embodiment, the number of light guides 3 and LED light sources 5 is five. In other embodiments, the number of light guides 3 and LED light sources 5 can be different depending on the vehicle model, and can be determined according to actual needs.

[0033] Light guide 3 is made of PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) material, with a diameter of 6mm, and has good light guiding performance. The five light guides 3 correspond to five different light-emitting areas (five different positions on the painted laser engraving plate 6).

[0034] The painted laser-engraved panel 6 uses a PC emulsion material board, which has excellent diffuse reflection properties, allowing light to diffuse evenly. The panel has a 0.03mm thick black paint layer with good light-blocking properties. The shape of the light-emitting area is printed on the black paint layer, and the light emitted by the light guide 3 can pass through this pattern.
