Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive lamp reflectors, and in particular to an automotive lamp reflector and automotive lamp that enhances brightness and requires no mold modification. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, automotive lighting, as a crucial component for safe driving, has seen rapid technological advancements. With continuous innovation in automotive design and increasing consumer demands for both safety and aesthetics, the optical performance and appearance of automotive lighting have received growing attention. Reflectors, as a key component of automotive lighting, are widely used in the field due to their simple structure and high degree of design freedom. They are responsible for reflecting and controlling the light emitted by the light source, playing a decisive role in the lighting effect.
[0003] In the production of automotive lighting fixtures, changes to the light distribution or appearance of the lights typically require modifications to the reflector mold. Mold modifications not only involve high design and manufacturing costs but also extend the product development cycle. If the reflector design changes, the entire process, from mold redesign and opening to trial molding and adjustments, is extremely costly, and any mold modification may introduce new design flaws and production risks. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a car lamp reflector and car lamp that enhances light without the need for mold modification. It can achieve the effect of enhancing light directly by simply adding light source particles without modifying the mold, which can save the cost of modifying the mold and achieve quick switching.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, firstly, the automotive lamp reflector that enhances brightness and requires no mold modification provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A brightening automotive lamp reflector that requires no mold modification includes a mounting housing. The mounting housing has multiple first light source mounting positions and two second light source mounting positions spaced apart along its length. The mounting housing has multiple light-transmitting holes, with each of the first light source mounting positions and the two second light source mounting positions corresponding to one of the light-transmitting holes. The mounting housing also has multiple first reflective bowls and one second reflective bowl, with the second reflective bowl located at the outermost edge of the mounting housing. The multiple first reflective bowls and the multiple first light source mounting positions are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second reflective bowl simultaneously corresponds to two second light source mounting positions.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple first light source mounting positions are equipped with light source components, multiple light-transmitting holes respectively correspond to the light source components at the multiple first light source mounting positions for light transmission, and multiple first reflector bowls respectively correspond to reflect and focus the light beam emitted by the light source components at the first light source mounting positions. Light source components can be installed at both of the two second light source mounting positions, or only at the second light source mounting position closest to the first reflector bowl.
[0008] Since the second reflector bowl corresponds to two second light source mounting positions, the light source component is only installed at the second light source mounting position closest to the first reflector bowl. When the second reflector bowl reflects and focuses the light beam, it can also supplement the light by using the adjacent second reflector bowl parts without light source components through the reflection of the reflected light and the diffusion angle of the light source component, so as to achieve the effect of lighting up and enhancing the light.
[0009] Meanwhile, since a second light source mounting position and a light-transmitting hole are reserved at the second reflector bowl, it can be adjusted according to the actual product design needs and subsequent lighting requirements. During the manufacturing and use process, it is possible to adjust whether to install the light source component at the reserved second light source mounting position. Moreover, no mold modification is required. Simply adding a light source component can directly achieve the effect of increasing light, which has strong practicality and flexibility, and can also save the cost of modifying the mold.
[0010] In summary, by designing the second reflector bowl to correspond with two second light source mounting positions, it is possible to choose to install light source components on both or only one light source component. When only one light source component is installed, the second reflector bowl can provide supplementary lighting, achieving the effect of brightening. Alternatively, depending on the requirements, the installation of light source components on the reserved second light source mounting positions can be adjusted at any node, achieving the effect of brightening directly without modifying the mold, thus saving the cost of modifying the mold and enabling quick switching.
[0011] Optionally, the span of the second reflector bowl is greater than or equal to the total span of the two second light source mounting positions.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the light source is installed in only one of the second light source mounting positions, the second reflector bowl can better achieve reflective supplementary lighting; when light source components are installed in both second light source mounting positions, the second reflector bowl can fully and comprehensively reflect and focus the light beams emitted by the two light source components.
[0013] Optionally, the second reflector bowl extends in a direction away from the first reflector bowl to form an extension.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension can reflect and focus the light beam at the corner of the reflector to a greater extent, thereby achieving the effect of brightening the corners of the car lights and solving the problem of dim brightness at the edges and corners that is common in long strip car lights.
[0015] Secondly, the automotive lighting fixture provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0016] An automotive lighting fixture includes the aforementioned brightening and mold-free automotive lighting reflector.
[0017] Optionally, a thick-walled member is included, which is arranged parallel to the mounting housing, and the projection of the thick-walled member along the beam direction can completely cover all the first reflector bowls and partially cover the second reflector bowl.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the thick-walled component relative to the reflector can ensure that the beam focused by the reflector can be emitted, and the light source component of the reserved second light source mounting position and the extension of the second reflector bowl can better illuminate and enhance the corners of the thick-walled component, thereby solving the problem of dim brightness at the edges and corners that is common in long strip automotive lights.
[0019] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0020] 1. The design, which simultaneously sets the second reflector bowl to correspond with two second light source mounting positions, allows for the installation of light source components on both or only one light source component. When only one light source component is installed, the second reflector bowl can provide supplementary lighting to achieve the effect of brightening. Alternatively, the installation of light source components on the reserved second light source mounting positions can be adjusted at any node according to requirements, achieving the effect of brightening directly without modifying the mold, thus saving the cost of modifying the mold and enabling quick switching.
[0021] 2. The extension section can reflect and focus the light beam from the corner of the reflector to a greater extent, thereby achieving the effect of brightening the corners of the car lights and solving the problem of dim brightness at the edges and corners that is common in long strip car lights.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] This utility model discloses a brightening automotive lamp reflector that requires no mold modification. (See reference...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automotive lighting reflector, which enhances brightness and eliminates the need for mold changes, includes a mounting housing 1. The mounting housing 1 has multiple light source mounting positions and two second light source mounting positions 3 spaced apart along its length. The two second light source mounting positions 3 are adjacent to each other and located on the outermost edge. Both the multiple light source mounting positions and the two second light source mounting positions 3 can be used to mount light sources; in this embodiment, the light source is an LED lamp.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting housing 1 has multiple light-transmitting holes 4, which correspond one-to-one with multiple first light source mounting positions 2 and two second light source mounting positions 3. The light-transmitting holes 4 can transmit the light beam emitted by the light source component.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting housing 1 is equipped with multiple first reflector bowls 5 and one second reflector bowl 6, both of which have arc-shaped cross-sectional profiles. The multiple first reflector bowls 5 are correspondingly arranged with multiple first light source mounting positions 2. The second reflector bowl 6 is located at the outermost edge of the mounting housing 1. The second reflector bowl 6 also corresponds to two second light source mounting positions 3.
[0031] Multiple first light source mounting positions 2 are each equipped with a light source element. Multiple light-transmitting holes 4 respectively correspond to the light source elements on the multiple first light source mounting positions 2 for transmitting light. Multiple first reflector bowls 5 respectively correspond to the light beams emitted by the light source elements on the first light source mounting positions 2 for reflecting and focusing. Light source elements can be installed at both second light source mounting positions 3, or only at the second light source mounting position 3 closest to the first reflector bowl 5. In this embodiment, light source elements are installed at both second light source mounting positions.
[0032] Since the second reflector bowl 6 corresponds to two second light source mounting positions 3 at the same time, the light source component is installed only on the second light source mounting position 3 close to the first reflector bowl 5. When the second reflector bowl 6 reflects and focuses the light beam, it can also supplement the light by using the adjacent second reflector bowl 6 parts without light source components through the reflection of the reflected light and the diffusion angle of the light source component, so as to achieve the effect of lighting up and enhancing the light.
[0033] Meanwhile, since a second light source mounting position 3 and a light-transmitting hole 4 are reserved at the second reflector bowl 6, adjustments can be made according to the actual product design needs and subsequent lighting requirements. During the manufacturing and use processes, it is possible to adjust whether to install the light source component on the reserved second light source mounting position 3, without modifying the mold. Simply adding a light source component can directly achieve the effect of increasing light, which has strong practicality and flexibility, and can also save the cost of modifying the mold.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The span of the second reflector bowl 6 is greater than the total span of the two second light source mounting positions 3. When a light source is installed in only one of the second light source mounting positions 3, the second reflector bowl 6 can better achieve reflected supplementary lighting; when light source components are installed in both second light source mounting positions 3, the second reflector bowl 6 can fully and comprehensively reflect and focus the light beams emitted by the two light source components.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second reflector bowl 6 extends away from the first reflector bowl 5 and has an extension portion 61. The extension portion 61 can reflect and focus the light beam at the corner of the reflector to a greater extent, thereby achieving the effect of brightening the corners of the car lights and solving the problem of dim brightness at the edges and corners that is common in long strip car lights.
[0036] The implementation principle of the automotive lamp reflector that enhances brightness and eliminates the need for mold modification according to this utility model embodiment is as follows: By designing the second reflector bowl 6 to correspond to two second light source mounting positions 3 simultaneously, it is possible to install light source components on both or only one light source component; when only one light source component is installed, the second reflector bowl 6 can provide supplementary lighting, achieving the effect of brightening; it is also possible to adjust whether to install light source components on the reserved second light source mounting positions 3 at any node according to requirements, so as to achieve the effect of brightening directly without modifying the mold, which can save the cost of modifying the mold and achieve quick switching.
[0037] Example 2:
[0038] This utility model discloses an automotive lighting fixture. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The automotive lighting fixture includes the aforementioned brightening and mold-free automotive lighting reflector. The thick-walled component 7 of the automotive lighting fixture is arranged parallel to the mounting housing 1. The projection of the thick-walled component 7 along the beam direction can completely cover all the first reflector bowls 5 and partially cover the second reflector bowls 6. The position of the thick-walled component 7 relative to the reflector ensures that the beam focused by the reflector can be emitted, and allows the light source component of the reserved second light source mounting position 3 and the extension 61 of the second reflector bowl 6 to better illuminate and enhance the corners of the thick-walled component 7, thereby solving the problem of dim brightness at the edges and corners that is common in long, narrow automotive lighting fixtures.
[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
