Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive lighting technology, and in particular to a novel light guide fixing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Since most of the optical solutions for automotive lights and signal lights are implemented through light guides, and with the increasing popularity of continuous taillights and front grille lights, the length of light guides has increased. This places higher demands on the installation, fixing, and shape maintenance of light guides.

[0003] Existing fixing methods leave scratches on the light guide and lack support and restraint for the suspended part in the center of the light guide, which affects the appearance quality of the entire lamp in both lit and unlit states, causing problems such as bright lines, significant changes in overall brightness, or inconsistent spacing with the mask. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new light guide fixing structure that can stably support and restrain the light guide. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing light guide fixing structures, which leave scratches on the light guide and lack support and restraint for the suspended part in the center of the light guide, thus affecting the appearance quality of the whole lamp in both lit and unlit states, one of the purposes of this utility model is to provide a new type of light guide fixing structure.

[0005] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A novel optical guide fixing structure includes a flexible support: multiple sets of support components are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall and upper surface of the flexible support. Each support component consists of multiple grooves 1 and 2 staggered on the inner wall and upper surface of the flexible support, and support blocks fixed to the inner walls of the grooves 1 and 2. Limiting components are provided on the upper surface and inner wall of the flexible support. Each limiting component consists of multiple limiting grooves 1 on the upper surface of the flexible support and limiting grooves 2 on the inner wall of the flexible support. An optical guide body is assembled on the inner wall of the flexible support through the support components and the limiting components. Multiple limiting blocks are fixed on the optical guide body. The limiting blocks are engaged with the inner walls of the limiting grooves 1 and 2. The two ends of the optical guide body are connected to the flexible support by bolts. Using a flexible support can prevent scratches on the surface of the optical guide tube. Furthermore, the support and limiting components can support and limit the optical guide tube within the flexible support, while also supporting and limiting the suspended portion of the medium-voltage cabinet of the optical guide tube, thereby improving the safety of the optical guide tube in use.

[0006] According to the novel optical guide fixing structure, the position of the limiting block corresponds one-to-one with the positions of the limiting groove one and the limiting groove two, and the size of the limiting block is adapted to the size of the limiting groove one and the limiting groove two. The optical guide body is fixedly engaged with the inner wall of the flexible support.

[0007] According to the novel optical guide fixing structure, the width of the inner bottom wall of the flexible support is greater than the width of the inner top wall of the flexible support, which can stably support the optical guide body.

[0008] According to the novel optical guide fixing structure, the surface of the support block is provided with an arc-shaped abutment portion, which abuts against the outer surface of the optical guide body. This allows it to abut against the outer wall of the optical guide body for support.

[0009] According to the novel optical guide fixing structure, the flexible support is fixed with multiple sets of symmetrically arranged arc-shaped abutment blocks near the inner wall of the support component. These arc-shaped abutment blocks abut against the outer surface of the optical guide body. Each set of arc-shaped abutment blocks consists of two upper and two lower arc-shaped abutment blocks, allowing the outer wall of the optical guide body to fit snugly against these blocks, thus preventing scratches on the outer wall of the optical guide body.

[0010] According to the novel light guide fixing structure, a plurality of connecting parts are fixedly provided on one side wall of the flexible support. Each connecting part has a through hole, and a screw is movably connected to the inner wall of the through hole. The flexible support is detachably connected to the outer lamp housing via the connecting parts and the screws. This facilitates the assembly of the light guide body between the outer lamp housing and the flexible support, thereby protecting the light guide body and ensuring its safety.

[0011] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] By incorporating a flexible support, supporting components, and limiting components, this structure, compared to existing technologies, can support and limit the light guide tube body within the inner wall of the flexible support. Furthermore, the use of a flexible support, an arc-shaped abutment portion, and an arc-shaped abutment block to support the light guide tube body prevents scratches on the outer wall of the light guide tube body, thus improving the appearance quality of the light guide tube body in both lit and unlit states, and effectively enhancing the safety of the light guide tube body in use.

Multiple sets of support components 2 are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall and upper surface of the flexible support 1. Each support component 2 consists of multiple grooves 21 and 22 staggered on the inner wall and upper surface of the flexible support 1, and support blocks 23 fixed to the inner walls of the grooves 21 and 22. Limiting components 3 are provided on the upper surface and inner wall of the flexible support 1. Each limiting component 3 consists of multiple limiting grooves 31 on the upper surface of the flexible support 1 and limiting grooves 32 on the inner wall of the flexible support 1. An optical guide body 4 is assembled on the inner wall of the flexible support 1 via the support components 2 and limiting components 3. Multiple limiting blocks 5 are fixed on the optical guide body 4, and the limiting blocks 5 are snapped into the inner walls of the limiting grooves 31 and 32. The two ends of the optical guide body 4 are connected to the flexible support 1 via bolts. The flexible support 1 is connected to the support bracket 1. The position of the limiting block 5 corresponds one-to-one with the positions of the limiting groove 1 31 and the limiting groove 2 32. The size of the limiting block 5 is adapted to the size of the limiting groove 1 31 and the limiting groove 2 32. The width of the inner bottom wall of the flexible support 1 is greater than the width of the inner top wall of the flexible support 1. The surface of the support block 23 is provided with an arc-shaped abutment part 6, which abuts against the outer surface of the light guide body 4. Multiple sets of arc-shaped abutment blocks 7 are fixedly provided on the inner wall of the flexible support 1 near the support component 2. The arc-shaped abutment blocks 7 abut against the outer surface of the light guide body 4. Multiple connecting parts 8 are fixedly provided on one side wall of the flexible support 1.
