Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of driving lights and their splicing structures, and in particular to a splicable driving light and a splicing light strip containing the splicable driving light. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive lighting technology field has developed rapidly in recent years, and strip lights, as an important component, are widely used in various vehicle models due to their unique aesthetics and functionality. Whether as headlights, taillights, or daytime running lights, strip lights provide excellent lighting effects and visual visibility. With the diversification of automotive designs, different models have significantly different requirements for the length and shape of strip lights, posing numerous challenges to their design and manufacturing. To meet the needs of different models, manufacturers often need to customize strip lights of specific lengths for different vehicles. While this approach satisfies individual needs, it also significantly increases production costs and management complexity. How to reduce production costs while ensuring product quality and flexibility, while pursuing efficient production, has become a key issue that the industry urgently needs to address. To solve the problem of strip light length adaptability, segmented light strips have emerged on the market. These segmented light strips are typically made by splicing strip lights of a certain length together using simple fasteners, thus achieving flexible length adjustment. While segmented light strips on the market have solved the problem of strip light length adaptability to some extent, they all have certain limitations. The main drawback of existing segmented light strip modules is that they typically use multiple connecting plates to cover the connection point between two light strips, and each connecting plate is then secured with multiple screws, resulting in a long assembly time. This is especially problematic for mid-to-high-end consumers who, in addition to considering the adaptability of the light strip length, also demand high precision. The existing segmented light strips have relatively wide joints, affecting the continuity of light effect and overall aesthetics. Furthermore, the overall length of the assembled segmented light strips deviates significantly from the required length, making precise installation difficult and impacting the final lighting effect. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To improve the installation efficiency and accuracy of strip driving lights, and to ensure better light efficiency continuity and overall aesthetics, this application provides a splicable driving light and a splicable light strip containing the splicable driving light.

[0004] In a first aspect, a modular driving light includes a light strip unit and a first splicing component. Splicing blocks extend from both sides of the light strip unit. Each splicing block is provided with a splicing slot away from the splicing block. The splicing slots of two light strip units are arranged opposite each other and surround each other to form a splicing hole. The first splicing component passes through the splicing hole to enable the two light strip units to be detachably spliced.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, splicing blocks extend from both sides of the individual light strip units, and splicing slots are set on the splicing blocks. When the splicing slots of two individual light strip units are positioned opposite each other, they can form a splicing hole. The first splicing component passes through the splicing hole, thereby achieving detachable splicing between the two individual light strip units. This design not only simplifies the splicing operation but also effectively improves splicing efficiency. Simultaneously, due to the compact cooperation structure of the splicing blocks and splicing slots, the width of the splicing area is reduced, thereby improving the continuity of light effect and overall aesthetics at the splicing point. Furthermore, this solution allows for flexible adjustment of the overall length after splicing, meeting the installation requirements of different scenarios and significantly improving the adaptability and accuracy of driving lights.

[0006] Preferably, the driving light further includes a second splicing component, and the bottom of both sides of the light strip unit is provided with a connecting slot, and the two connecting slots are symmetrically arranged. The second splicing component is detachably connected to the connecting slots of the two light strip units respectively.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, symmetrical connecting slots are set on both sides of the bottom of the individual light strip units, and a second splicing component is detachably connected to the connecting slots, enabling a stable splicing of the bottom of the individual light strip units. Specifically, the symmetrically arranged connecting slots provide a precise positioning structure for the second splicing component, making the splicing operation more convenient. At the same time, since the connecting slots are located at the bottom of the individual light strip units, this design not only hides the splicing components and improves the overall aesthetics, but also effectively enhances the splicing stability. Furthermore, the detachable connection method makes the assembly and disassembly of the individual light strip units more flexible, facilitating the adjustment of the overall length of the light strip according to actual needs, ensuring that the spliced ​​light strip can accurately adapt to the installation environment, significantly improving the product's practicality and assembly efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, mounting holes are provided on both sides of the individual light strip, and the mounting holes are located below the splicing block.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, mounting holes are opened on both sides of the individual light strip units, and these mounting holes are located below the splicing blocks. This design allows for a reasonable spatial layout of the mounting holes and splicing blocks, ensuring that the splicing block area is used for connecting individual light strip units while also providing a fixed position for the mounting components. Since the mounting holes are located below the splicing blocks, interference with the splicing area is avoided, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the individual light strip units during splicing. At the same time, this layout helps improve the overall structural compactness, reduces additional space occupation, minimizes length errors after splicing, and further enhances the installation flexibility and adaptability of the splicable driving lights.

[0010] Preferably, the first splicing component includes a first fastening part and a second fastening part. The first fastening part is detachably connected to the second fastening part through the splicing hole, and the first fastening part and the second fastening part respectively abut against the surface of the splicing block.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the splicing of individual LED strip units is achieved through the cooperation of the first and second fastening parts. Specifically, the first fastening part connects to the second fastening part via splicing holes on the two LED strip unit splicing blocks, forming a detachable connection. This design not only simplifies the splicing operation but also ensures the stability of the connection. Since the first and second fastening parts abut against the surface of the splicing blocks respectively, it effectively prevents the individual LED strip units from loosening or misaligning after splicing, thereby ensuring the structural strength and luminous efficacy continuity at the splicing point. At the same time, this design avoids the time consumption caused by complex assembly in existing multi-component splicing methods, significantly improving splicing efficiency and overall aesthetics.

[0012] Preferably, the splicing block is provided with a limiting groove, and the first fastening part is provided with a limiting protrusion corresponding to the limiting groove, the limiting protrusion cooperating with the limiting groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a limiting groove is provided on the splicing block, and the limiting protrusion on the third fastening part cooperates with the limiting groove. This design allows the first splicing component to be initially fixed through the first and second fastening parts when passing through the splicing hole to splice individual light strips. Furthermore, the cooperation between the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove further enhances the stability of the splicing. Specifically, the cooperation between the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove effectively prevents the first splicing component from shifting or rotating during the splicing process, thus ensuring a more precise and secure connection between the individual light strips after splicing. In addition, this limiting structure can reduce the width of the splicing area, improve the continuity of light efficiency and overall aesthetics at the splicing point, and reduce the length error after splicing, meeting the needs of application scenarios with high installation accuracy requirements.

[0014] Preferably, the width of the first splicing component is greater than or equal to the width of the two splicing blocks combined.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the width of the first splicing component is designed to be greater than or equal to the width of the two splicing blocks combined. This dimensional relationship ensures that the first splicing component has sufficient coverage area when passing through the splicing holes. This not only effectively prevents loosening or misalignment at the splicing point but also significantly improves the structural stability of the spliced ​​area. Furthermore, because the width of the first splicing component matches the combined width of the splicing blocks, the assembled driving light appears smoother and seamless, thus improving the overall aesthetics and the continuity of light effect. This design not only meets the precision requirements of the mid-to-high-end market but also ensures that the assembled driving light can precisely adapt to the required length, thereby optimizing the final lighting effect.

[0016] Preferably, the second splicing component includes a connecting part and a screw corresponding to the connecting slot, and each connecting slot has a threaded groove on its groove wall, and the screw passes through the connecting part and is screwed into the thread.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the symmetrically arranged connecting slots on both sides of the bottom of the individual light strip units provide installation positions for the second splicing component. Specifically, the connecting part can simultaneously cover the connecting slots of two individual light strip units, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection. Because the groove walls of the connecting slots are threaded, the screw, after passing through the connecting part, tightly engages with the threads, achieving a secure connection between the second splicing component and the individual light strip units. This design not only simplifies the splicing operation but also effectively reduces the width of the splicing joint, thereby improving the continuity of light effect and the overall aesthetics of the splicing joint. Furthermore, the precise thread fit further improves the overall accuracy after splicing, ensuring that the spliced ​​light strip can adapt to different length requirements and meet actual installation requirements.

[0018] Preferably, the width of the second splicing component is greater than the width of the first splicing component.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the width of the second splicing component is greater than that of the first splicing component. This design allows the second splicing component to provide a wider connection area at the bottom of the LED strip unit. Since the second splicing component is used to connect the connecting slots at the bottom of both sides of the LED strip unit, the greater width increases the contact area between it and the LED strip unit, thereby improving the stability of the connection. At the same time, the wider second splicing component can also effectively distribute the force at the connection point, reduce local stress concentration, and thus improve the overall strength and durability of the splicing structure. In addition, this width difference design also facilitates the quick differentiation between the first and second splicing components during installation, improving assembly efficiency.

[0020] Secondly, a splicing light strip with splicable driving lights includes at least two splicable driving lights and a mounting assembly for fixing the splicable driving lights. Each of the splicable driving lights is spliced ​​sequentially. The mounting assembly is located on both sides of the splicing light strip and is detachably connected to the splicing light strip through the mounting hole.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the spliced ​​light strip containing splicable driving lights consists of at least two splicable driving lights, which are fixedly connected by mounting components. Each splicable driving light has a single light strip unit and a first splicing component. The splicing blocks on both sides of the single light strip unit can form splicing holes through splicing slots, and the first splicing component passes through the splicing holes to achieve detachable splicing between the single light strip units. This design not only allows for flexible adjustment of the light strip length but also ensures the structural stability and aesthetics of the splicing points. Meanwhile, the mounting components are installed through mounting holes on both sides of the spliced ​​light strip, further enhancing the overall integrity and reliability of the entire spliced ​​light strip. Due to the matching relationship between the mounting components and the mounting holes, the spliced ​​light strip can be quickly positioned and fixed during installation, effectively improving assembly efficiency, reducing installation errors, and thus ensuring the lighting effect and adaptability of the spliced ​​light strip in practical applications.

[0022] Preferably, when the number of the three modular driving lights is three, the lengths of the three modular driving lights are not equal.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the spliced ​​light strip consists of three splicable driving lights, the lengths of the three driving lights can be unequal, specifically long, medium, and short, allowing for free combination and splicing according to actual needs to form spliced ​​light strips of different total lengths. This design not only meets the requirements of diverse installation scenarios but also improves the accuracy and adaptability of splicing, allowing for flexible adjustment of the overall length after splicing according to the actual installation space requirements. This design not only avoids the problem of traditional fixed-length light strips being difficult to adapt to complex installation environments but also enhances the aesthetics of the spliced ​​light strip while ensuring lighting effects. Since driving lights of different lengths can be combined to create various lengths and shapes, it can better meet the personalized needs of different vehicle models for light strip length and layout, significantly improving the product's adaptability and flexibility. In addition, the unequal length design can effectively reduce splicing errors, ensuring that the spliced ​​light strip is precisely matched with the installation position, thereby optimizing the overall lighting effect and visual experience.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. Splicing blocks are set on both sides of each LED strip unit, and splicing slots are opened on the splicing blocks. The splicing slots of two LED strip units are arranged opposite each other to form a splicing hole. The first splicing component passes through the splicing hole to achieve a detachable connection between LED strip units. Compared with the traditional method of using multiple connecting plates and screws for fastening, this reduces the splicing operation steps, significantly shortens the splicing time of the strip lights, and thus improves installation efficiency.

[0026] 2. The width of the first splicing component is not less than the width of the two splicing blocks combined. The design of the splicing blocks effectively controls the width at the splicing point, while the tight fit between the first splicing component and the splicing blocks further reduces the splicing gap. This design not only avoids the problem of excessively wide splicing points but also improves the continuity of light effects and overall aesthetics at the splicing points, meeting the precision requirements of the mid-to-high-end market.

[0027] 3. The splicing light strip can be freely combined using interchangeable driving lights of different lengths to form splicing light strips of varying total lengths. The overall length after splicing can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual installation space requirements, improving the accuracy and adaptability of the splicing process.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] This application discloses a modular driving light, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1 and Figure 2It includes a single LED strip unit 1, a first splicing component 2, and a second splicing component 3. The two LED strip units 1 are spliced ​​together by the first splicing component 2 and the second splicing component 3, respectively. The first splicing component 2 is located on the upper end face of the splicing point of the two LED strip units 1, and the second splicing component 3 is located on the lower end face of the splicing point of the two LED strip units 1. Figure 1 The connection between the individual light strip unit 1, the first splicing component 2, and the second splicing component 3 is illustrated by using the splicing of two spliced ​​driving lights.

[0035] Specifically, each of the two sides of the LED strip unit 1 has a splicing block 11 extending from it. In this embodiment, the splicing block 11 is a cuboid with a relatively short length. The side of each splicing block 11 away from the LED strip unit 1, that is, the surface where the two splicing points contact during splicing, is provided with a splicing groove 12. The groove wall of the splicing groove 12 is provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction during splicing. When the two LED strip units 1 are close together and aligned, the splicing grooves 12 of the two LED strip units 1 are arranged opposite each other and form a splicing hole 13. The first splicing member 2 passes through the splicing hole 13 to secure the two LED strip units 1. The first splicing member 2 is detachable and can be installed. In this embodiment, the splicing hole 13 can be a cuboid, a trapezoidal frustum, a cylinder, or other irregular shapes. In this embodiment, a cylinder is preferred. Correspondingly, the shape of the splicing groove is semi-cylindrical, which is easy to process and has strong versatility, achieving the effects of simplifying the splicing structure, improving splicing efficiency, and optimizing the continuity and aesthetics of light effect. The light strip unit 1 has mounting holes 15 on both sides for installation.

[0036] Specifically, the first splicing component 2 in this embodiment includes a first fastening part 21, a second fastening part 22, and a third fastening part 23. The first fastening part 21 is a fastening screw head, the second fastener is a bolt, and the third fastener is a washer. The washer is placed on the lower surface of the splicing block 11, and the bolt is passed sequentially through the washer, the splicing groove, and the fastening screw head from below. The bolt is then tightened to securely connect the two LED strip units 1. In particular, the contact surface between the fastening screw head and the splicing block 11 is provided with a limiting protrusion a, and the splicing block 11 is provided with a limiting groove b corresponding to the limiting protrusion a. The limiting protrusion a of the fastening screw head is aligned with the limiting groove b of the splicing block 11 and then tightened, followed by bolt connection. This not only achieves precise positioning but also further strengthens the connection strength of the LED strip units 1. The width of the fastening screw head is greater than or equal to the total width of the two connecting blocks after splicing; that is, the fastening screw head can completely abut against the upper surfaces of the two splicing blocks 11.

[0037] In this embodiment, two cylindrical connecting slots 14 are provided at the bottom of both sides of the light strip unit 1. The openings of the cylindrical connecting slots 14 extend outward to form a trapezoidal cavity. The connecting slots 14 are symmetrically arranged. When the two light strip units 1 are close and aligned, the second splicing piece 3 is detachably connected to the connecting slots 14 of the two light strip units 1 respectively. This design further enhances the stability after splicing and provides more installation methods.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second splicing component 3 includes a U-shaped connecting part 31 and a screw 32 corresponding to the connecting slot 14. The groove wall of the connecting slot 14 is threaded. The protruding part of the U-shaped connecting part 31 can be placed inside the ladder cavity. The U-shaped connecting part 31 has holes corresponding to the cylindrical connecting slot 14, allowing the screw 32 to pass through the U-shaped connecting part 31 and be screwed into the threads of the connecting slot 14 for fastening. The U-shaped connecting part 31 of the connecting slot 14 can be made of stainless steel, which has high strength and corrosion resistance. The head of the screw 32 has a hexagonal notch for easy tightening with a wrench. The threads of the screw 32 match the threads of the connecting slot 14, ensuring a firm connection.

[0039] Furthermore, the light strip unit 1 mainly consists of a lamp cover, a lamp body, and a light source. Its internal structure is the existing light strip unit 1 structure, which will not be described in detail here. The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: the splicable driving light is composed of a light strip unit 1, a first splicing component 2, and a second splicing component 3. Its working principle is as follows: when splicing two light strip units 1, the first splicing component 2 and the second splicing component 3 act on the upper and lower end faces of the splicing point to achieve splicing fixation. The light strip unit 1 has cuboid splicing blocks 11 with splicing slots 12 extending from both sides. When the two light strip units 1 are close to each other and precisely aligned, the splicing slots 12 on both sides are placed opposite each other, forming a splicing hole 13. At this point, the fastening screw, bolt, and washer are installed. The washer is placed on the lower surface of the splicing block 11 for enhanced fastening. The limiting protrusion a of the fastening screw is embedded into the corresponding limiting groove b of the splicing block 11 to achieve precise positioning. Then, the bolt is passed through the splicing groove, washer, and fastening screw and tightened. Since the width of the fastening screw is not less than the total width of the two splicing blocks 11 after splicing, it can ensure full contact with the upper surface of the splicing block 11, thereby firmly fastening the two light strip units 1. The first splicing part 2 is detachable for convenient subsequent maintenance or adjustment. Meanwhile, two cylindrical connecting slots 14 with trapezoidal cavities are symmetrically provided on the bottom of both sides of the light strip unit 1. The slot walls are threaded. When the two light strip units 1 are aligned and close together, the second splicing component 3 comes into play. The second splicing component 3 consists of a "U"-shaped connecting part 31 and a corresponding screw 32. The protruding part of the "U"-shaped connecting part 31 is placed into the trapezoidal cavity, and its hole is screwed and fastened to the connecting slot 14 by the screw 32. This design, through the combined action of the first and second splicing components 3, not only greatly enhances the structural stability after splicing, but also provides more diversified installation methods for driving lights. Example 2

[0040] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that: (Refer to...) Figure 3This embodiment of a splicing light strip with splicable driving lights includes four splicable driving lights of Embodiment 1 and two mounting components 4. Based on length, the multiple splicable driving lights can be categorized into long driving lights, medium-long driving lights, and short driving lights. Driving lights of varying lengths are spliced ​​together in a free combination to form a splicing light strip. Mounting holes 15 are provided on both sides of the light strip. The mounting components 4 are located on both sides of the splicing light strip and are detachably connected to the splicing light strip through the mounting holes 15. Specifically, the mounting components 4 include screws and mounting brackets. The screws pass through the mounting brackets and are screwed into the mounting holes 15. The mounting brackets can be fixed to the vehicle. This design makes it easier to install the splicing light strip onto the vehicle, improving installation efficiency. The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: multiple splicable driving lights of Embodiment 1 are spliced ​​together and then combined with the mounting components 4 to form a splicing light strip containing splicable driving lights. First, splicable driving lights of different lengths (e.g., long, medium-long, and short) are spliced ​​together in a free combination to form a splicing light strip containing splicable driving lights. The LED strip has mounting holes 15 on both sides. Mounting components 4 are located on both sides of the LED strip and are detachably connected to the mounting holes 15. Mounting components 4 include screws and mounting brackets. During installation, the screws pass through the mounting brackets and are screwed into the mounting holes 15 of the LED strip, fixing the mounting brackets to the vehicle. The connection between the mounting brackets and the LED strips facilitates convenient installation of the LED strips on the vehicle, effectively improving installation efficiency.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
