[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

The use of "first" and "second" is for distinguishing technical features only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of technical features or their sequential relationship.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0033] With the increasing demand for intelligent and personalized vehicles, traditional traffic lights, due to their limited functionality, cannot meet the needs of high-end models for dynamic interaction and brand recognition. In related technologies, some traffic lights incorporate an array of LEDs. Illuminating specific LEDs creates the desired pattern; for example, illuminating LEDs that can spell out text allows these LEDs to work together to generate the required text, thereby improving dynamic interaction and brand recognition.
[0034] However, this method requires setting up multiple LEDs and controlling the switching of different LEDs through a control system. For example, when generating different Chinese characters, the corresponding LEDs need to be lit. This requires precise control of the control system, making the operation complex. Moreover, the existing method cannot produce a 3D levitation effect and has poor dynamic interaction performance.
[0035] Therefore, this utility model proposes a traffic light and a vehicle that can effectively solve the above problems.
[0036] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes a traffic light and a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the signal light according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a lamp holder 100, a plurality of internal light distribution mirrors 200 and a plurality of light sources 300.
[0038] The lamp holder 100 may have multiple mounting holes 102, and is mounted to the vehicle body through the cooperation of multiple fasteners with the mounting holes 102. Multiple inner light distribution mirrors 200 are disposed on the lamp holder 100 and arranged in the left-right direction. Specifically, there may be two, three, four or more inner light distribution mirrors 200. For example, there may be three inner light distribution mirrors 200. The inner light distribution mirrors 200 extend obliquely upward relative to the horizontal plane from front to back, that is, the surface of the inner light distribution mirror 200 in the thickness direction extends obliquely upward relative to the horizontal plane from front to back. The inner light distribution mirrors 200 are made of transparent plates, for example, they may be made of transparent plastic or transparent glass. Multiple light sources 300 are disposed on the lamp holder 100 and arranged in a left-right direction. There can be two, three, four, or more light sources 300; for example, there can be three. Each light source 300 corresponds one-to-one with an inner light distribution mirror 200 and is located directly above the corresponding inner light distribution mirror 200. The light sources 300 are used to emit downward-facing beams of light capable of forming patterns. The light sources 300 can be made of OLED screens or MiniLED screens.
[0039] In this application, the light source 300 emits a downward-facing beam of light capable of forming a pattern. After the beam illuminates the inner light distribution mirror 200, the visual effect of a three-dimensional floating pattern is produced through reflection and refraction by the inner light distribution mirror 200, which is made of a transparent plate. The operation is simple. Moreover, multiple inner light distribution mirrors 200 and multiple light sources 300 are provided. Different light sources 300 can produce different three-dimensional floating patterns on different inner light distribution mirrors 200, or multiple light sources 300 can work together to produce more complex and larger three-dimensional floating patterns, resulting in better dynamic interaction performance and better meeting personalized needs.
[0040] Understandably, since the inner light distribution mirror 200 is made of a transparent plate and is tilted relative to the horizontal plane, and the light source 300 emits a beam of light downwards, when a person stands in front of the signal light to observe it, the reflection and refraction of the inner light distribution mirror 200 can give the person a three-dimensional floating visual effect, similar to a holographic projection effect, thereby improving the dynamic interaction performance.
[0041] It should be noted that left and right directions refer to the left and right directions of the vehicle when the signal lights are installed at the rear of the vehicle, while front and rear directions refer to the side of the vehicle with the signal lights facing away from the vehicle when they are installed at the rear of the vehicle, and the side with the signal lights facing away from the vehicle when they are installed at the rear of the vehicle.
[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the inner light distribution mirror 200 and the horizontal plane is 45°. That is, the angle between the surface of the inner light distribution mirror 200 in the thickness direction and the horizontal plane is 45°. Thus, the angle between the beam emitted downward from the light source 300 and the inner light distribution mirror 200 is also 45°. After the beam is reflected by the inner light distribution mirror 200, it can be emitted horizontally forward, thus creating a better three-dimensional floating visual effect.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sides of two adjacent inner light-distributing lenses 200 overlap in the front-to-back direction. In this way, when multiple inner light-distributing lenses 200 work together to form a three-dimensional suspended pattern, the occurrence of hollow areas in the pattern is reduced, making the formed pattern more complete, thereby improving the dynamic interaction performance and better meeting personalized needs.
[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, multiple internal light distribution mirrors 200 are arranged sequentially in the front-to-back direction along the left-to-right projection. For example, the distance between the multiple internal light distribution mirrors 200 and the vehicle body can gradually decrease along the right-to-left direction.
[0045] In this embodiment, the multiple internal light distribution lenses 200 are configured in such a way that they will not interfere with each other, and assembly and disassembly are more convenient.
[0046] In some embodiments of this invention, the internal light distribution mirror 200 is made of a PC board. The PC board has excellent light transmittance, and its internal structure alters the light propagation path, transforming a point light source into a surface light source. Furthermore, the internal structure of the PC board distributes light evenly through refraction, reflection, and scattering, resulting in a better three-dimensional levitation visual effect, thus enhancing dynamic interaction performance and better meeting personalized needs.
[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the inner light distribution mirror 200 is made of an acrylic sheet. The acrylic sheet has excellent light transmittance, enabling total internal reflection of light within it. This results in more comprehensive light transmission and guidance, and more uniform light distribution. Furthermore, the internal structure of the acrylic sheet allows for multiple reflections and refractions of light, resulting in more uniform, diffused, and multi-angle light emission from the front surface of the acrylic sheet. This leads to a better three-dimensional levitation visual effect, improved dynamic interaction performance, and greater ability to meet personalized needs.
[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lamp holder 100 is provided with a background plate 101, which is located behind all the inner light distribution lenses 200. For example, the front surface of the background plate 101 may have multiple stripes. Since the inner light distribution lenses 200 are made of transparent plates, the stripes on the background plate 101 can also increase the three-dimensional effect of the formed pattern, making the dynamic interactive performance better and more able to meet personalized needs.
[0049] It should be noted that the front surface of the background plate 101 can also be formed with other shapes, such as engraved text, which will not be elaborated here.
[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top end of the inner light distribution lens 200 in the inclined direction is connected to a bent portion 201, the bent portion 201 is vertically arranged, the light source 300 is horizontally arranged, and one end of the light source 300 extends to the adjacent bent portion 201. In this embodiment, the top end of the inner light distribution lens 200 in the inclined direction is connected to a vertically arranged bent portion 201, and one end of the light source 300 extends to the adjacent bent portion 201.
[0051] In this way, the amount of light emitted from the light source 300 that exits from the top of the inner light distribution mirror 200 can be reduced, which not only avoids affecting the signal transmission effect of the traffic lights, but also avoids affecting the three-dimensional floating visual effect.
[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the vertical projection, the end of the inner light distribution mirror 200 away from the bending portion 201 is located outside and adjacent to the end of the corresponding light source 300 away from the bending portion 201. With this arrangement, the downward-facing light beam emitted by the light source can be completely received and reflected by the inner light distribution mirror 200, resulting in a better three-dimensional floating visual effect, thus improving dynamic interaction performance and better meeting personalized needs.
[0053] The vehicle according to the second aspect of the present invention includes the signal lights described in the first aspect of the present invention.
[0054] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by employing the signal lights of the first aspect of the present invention, the light source 300 emits a downward-facing beam of light capable of forming a pattern. After the beam of light illuminates the inner light distribution mirror 200, the visual effect of a three-dimensional floating pattern can be produced through reflection and refraction by the inner light distribution mirror 200, which is made of a transparent plate. The operation is simple. Moreover, by setting multiple inner light distribution mirrors 200 and multiple light sources 300, different light sources 300 can produce different three-dimensional floating patterns on different inner light distribution mirrors 200, or multiple light sources 300 can cooperate to produce more complex and larger three-dimensional floating patterns, resulting in better dynamic interaction performance and better meeting personalized needs.
[0055] It should be noted that since the vehicle can adopt all the technical solutions of the signal lights in the first aspect embodiment described above, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions in the first aspect embodiment described above. These additional beneficial effects will not be elaborated here.
[0056] It is understood that other components and operations of the vehicle according to the embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0057] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
