Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to an ambient light for a vehicle body and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] As people increasingly demand personalization in vehicle interiors, ambient lighting is becoming more and more common. Ambient lighting is primarily used to enhance the ambiance. It is typically placed on the dashboard, door panels, headliner, and door sills.
[0003] In related technologies, one type of ambient light uses light emitted from both ends of the lamp tube or light emitted from the front of the lamp tube, and the lamp tube can directly illuminate the hollowed-out pattern to form a pattern; another type of ambient light uses a diffuser material to diffuse and emit the light emitted by the lamp tube evenly.
[0004] However, the ambient lights mentioned above usually have a uniform brightness, which cannot meet users' requirements for different brightness in different locations, and thus cannot meet users' personalized needs. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides an ambient light and a vehicle, aiming to solve the technical problem that the brightness of the ambient light in the related art cannot meet the user's need for different brightness in different positions, and thus cannot meet the user's personalized needs.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle ambient light, the vehicle ambient light comprising,
[0007] A light-emitting component includes a substrate and a light-emitting element, wherein the light-emitting element is located on the substrate and is used to emit light;
[0008] A first light-transmitting component is located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting component. The first light-transmitting component has multiple incident surfaces and multiple exit surfaces, wherein...
[0009] Each of the multiple incident surfaces corresponds one-to-one with a multiple exit surface; each of the multiple incident surfaces is located on the light emission path of the light-emitting element, and the exit surface is located on the light emission side corresponding to the incident surface;
[0010] The incident surface and the corresponding exit surface have different light emission directions, and the light emission directions of a number of the exit surfaces intersect to form a high-brightness part and a low-brightness part, wherein the brightness of the high-brightness part is greater than the brightness of the low-brightness part.
[0011] The vehicle ambient light provided in this application embodiment, by setting multiple incident and exit surfaces in a first light-transmitting component, makes the light emission directions of the incident surface and its corresponding exit surface different, and makes the light emission directions of a portion of the exit surfaces intersect, so as to form high-brightness and low-brightness areas at specific locations. In this way, the vehicle ambient light can achieve specific brightness in specific areas, thereby enhancing the atmosphere and meeting users' personalized needs.
[0012] By providing ambient lighting with specific brightness in specific locations, users can customize the brightness of different areas according to their personal preferences and needs, thereby providing a personalized in-car atmosphere experience.
[0013] This not only enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle's interior but also improves the user's visual experience and comfort. Furthermore, it provides a better atmosphere when driving or parking at night, thereby increasing user satisfaction.
[0014] In this design, both the incident and exit surfaces of the first light-transmitting component can refract light, thereby precisely controlling the direction of light propagation. This design effectively avoids ineffective light scattering, improves light utilization efficiency, and makes the brightness and effect of the vehicle's ambient lighting more controllable.
[0015] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, it is optional that the light emission directions of any two adjacent incident surfaces intersect.
[0016] The above settings create brightness differences in different areas of the vehicle interior, namely high-brightness and low-brightness areas. These brightness differences can create different interior atmospheres, making the interior lighting more layered and personalized, meeting diverse user needs for ambient lighting, and enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle interior and the user's visual experience.
[0017] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, it is optional that the light emission directions of any two adjacent emission surfaces intersect.
[0018] Through the above settings and intersecting design, brightness differences can be created in different locations within the vehicle, namely high-brightness and low-brightness areas. These brightness differences can create different interior atmospheres, making the interior lighting more layered and personalized, meeting diverse user needs for ambient lighting, and enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle interior and the user's visual experience.
[0019] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the incident surface includes an edge incident surface, which is located on the periphery of the first light-transmitting component; the angle between the incident light direction B of the edge incident surface and the extending direction A of the substrate is an acute angle.
[0020] And / or,
[0021] The emission surface includes an edge emission surface, which is located on the periphery of the first light-transmitting component; the angle between the light emission direction C of the edge emission surface and the extension direction A of the substrate is an acute angle.
[0022] By setting the light source closer to the center, the light loss during propagation is reduced, allowing more light to be directed to the area requiring illumination and improving light utilization efficiency.
[0023] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the first light-transmitting component further includes a main board and multiple side plates, the multiple side plates surrounding the main board, the multiple incident surfaces being located on the side of the main board facing the substrate, and the multiple exiting surfaces being located on the side of the main board away from the substrate.
[0024] With the above configuration, the incident surface and the exit surface are located on opposite sides of the motherboard, allowing light to undergo sufficient optical processing within the first light-transmitting component. For example, through a reasonable reflection and refraction design, light can be evenly distributed within the first light-transmitting component, thereby forming a uniform light output at the exit surface.
[0025] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the edge emission surface is located on the periphery of the main board, and the side surface of the side plate facing away from the main board is connected to the edge emission surface.
[0026] With the above configuration, the edge emitting surface is located on the periphery of the main board. This edge emitting surface can receive light from the inner edge region of the first light-transmitting component and, through its connection with the side panel, guide the light to the edges or corners of the vehicle's interior. This configuration helps improve the uniformity of light distribution inside the vehicle, ensuring that every corner of the vehicle's interior receives adequate illumination.
[0027] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the side panel has a mounting groove on the side away from the main board, and the groove depth extends along the length direction of the substrate.
[0028] The substrate is fitted into the mounting slot.
[0029] The above configuration ensures that the substrate is uniformly fixed along its entire length, preventing it from loosening or detaching. This design also ensures a consistent depth of the substrate within the mounting groove, thereby improving the structural consistency and stability of the entire light-transmitting assembly. A uniformly fixed substrate ensures even light distribution within the light-transmitting assembly, reducing light scattering and non-uniformity, thus improving optical performance.
[0030] Optionally, the aforementioned ambient lighting for the vehicle body may also include:
[0031] The second light-transmitting component is located on the light-emitting side of the first light-transmitting component;
[0032] The second light-transmitting component includes a light-transmitting portion, which at least corresponds to the high-brightness portion;
[0033] Along the extension direction perpendicular to the substrate, the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting portion on the substrate at least partially covers the orthogonal projection of the highlight portion on the substrate.
[0034] The above arrangement ensures that light can pass accurately through the light-transmitting part, thereby achieving the desired optical effect. Furthermore, the aforementioned coverage relationship ensures that the light from the high-brightness area formed by the first light-transmitting component can pass accurately through the light-transmitting part of the second light-transmitting component, thus achieving the desired high-brightness effect in specific locations within the vehicle's interior. This prevents light from being blocked or scattered by other structures during transmission, improving light utilization efficiency and brightness.
[0035] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the second light-transmitting component includes an opaque portion, the opaque portion being located around the periphery of the light-transmitting portion;
[0036] Along the extension direction perpendicular to the substrate, the orthographic projections of the opaque portion and the orthographic projections of the bright portion on the substrate are alternately arranged.
[0037] Through the above-described arrangement, the presence of opaque sections effectively blocks unwanted light, thus preventing ineffective light scattering and leakage. This design helps improve light utilization efficiency, allowing light to be concentrated in the desired areas, creating more prominent highlights. The staggered arrangement can create a unique optical effect inside the vehicle, making the highlights more obvious and concentrated, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0038] Optionally, in the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, the second light-transmitting component may include an opaque panel;
[0039] The opaque plate has openings, which form the light-transmitting portion; or...
[0040] There are multiple opaque panels, and adjacent opaque panels together form the light-transmitting section.
[0041] Through the above-described design, the presence of the opaque panel effectively blocks unwanted light, thus preventing ineffective light scattering and leakage. This design helps improve light utilization efficiency, allowing light to be concentrated in the desired areas, creating more prominent highlights. It can create unique optical effects inside the vehicle, making the highlights more obvious and concentrated, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0042] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the number of openings is multiple, and the multiple openings are arranged at intervals.
[0043] The above-described design allows for greater flexibility in using multiple openings, enabling adjustments to their number and position to achieve specific optical effects and design requirements. The spaced openings create a regular optical effect inside the vehicle, making highlights more prominent and concentrated, thus enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0044] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, the opening may be rectangular, circular, or elliptical in shape.
[0045] With the above settings, rectangular openings can create a linear light strip effect inside the car, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere and making it more modern and stylish. Circular openings can create a point light source effect, also enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere. Oval openings can create a soft light strip effect, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere and making it more gentle and comfortable.
[0046] Optionally, in the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, the second light-transmitting component may further include a light-transmitting plate, which at least covers the high-brightness portion.
[0047] With the above configuration, the light-transmitting panel can effectively and evenly distribute the light passing through the openings, reducing light scattering and unevenness, thereby improving the overall light quality. The light-transmitting panel can provide a smooth surface, making the light softer and more uniform, enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle's interior ambient lighting.
[0048] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the light-transmitting plate is located within the opening and covers the opening of the opening.
[0049] With the above arrangement, the light-transmitting panel is located within the opening, which makes the surface of the entire light-transmitting component smoother and more aesthetically pleasing, enhancing the appearance of the vehicle's ambient lighting. The light-transmitting panel covering the opening also makes the light passing through it softer and more uniform.
[0050] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the light-transmitting plate is located on the side of the opaque plate away from the first light-transmitting component, and the light-transmitting plate covers the opaque plate and the opening of the hole.
[0051] With the above configuration, the light-transmitting plate is located outside the opaque plate, which can effectively guide and evenly distribute the light passing through the opening, making the light propagate more concentrated and orderly, thus improving the utilization efficiency and brightness of the light. The light-transmitting plate covers the entire opaque plate, preventing dust and impurities from entering the internal optical components through the opening, thereby protecting the internal components and extending their service life.
[0052] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the light-transmitting panel and the opaque panel are bonded together;
[0053] One of the opaque panel and the light-transmitting panel extends into a mounting section for snapping or screwing into the interior of the vehicle body.
[0054] The above-described bonding method provides a secure connection, ensuring stability between the light-transmitting and opaque panels and preventing loosening or detachment during use. The mounting section provides additional support and fixation, ensuring the stability of the light-transmitting components within the vehicle body and preventing loosening or detachment during vehicle operation.
[0055] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the light-emitting component includes a plurality of light-emitting elements, which are arranged in an array on the substrate.
[0056] Through the above configuration, the array arrangement ensures a uniform distribution of light-emitting components on the substrate, thereby achieving uniform light coverage and reducing light inhomogeneity and dark areas. The array arrangement can increase the density of light-emitting components, improving overall light output and brightness.
[0057] In the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, optionally, the light emission paths of the multiple light-emitting elements do not intersect.
[0058] By configuring the light emission paths as described above, ensuring that each light source propagates independently reduces interference and overlap, thereby improving the uniformity and quality of the light. The absence of intersecting light emission paths also minimizes interference between light rays, preventing uneven brightness and spotting caused by overlapping light rays, thus enhancing the optical effect.
[0059] Optionally, the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting may also include a controller;
[0060] The plurality of light-emitting elements are electrically connected to the controller, which is configured to control the input current of the light-emitting elements in order to control the brightness of the light-emitting elements.
[0061] With the above settings, the controller can achieve different optical and visual effects, enhancing the visual impact of the in-car atmosphere. The brightness adjustment function can improve user comfort and satisfaction, providing a better user experience.
[0062] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle, including a vehicle body and a vehicle body ambient light, wherein the vehicle body ambient light is located inside the vehicle body.
[0063] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment can enhance the interior quality and overall value of the vehicle by adding ambient lighting.
[0064] Optionally, in the aforementioned vehicle ambient lighting, the vehicle body includes the body and doors;
[0065] The ambient lighting is located inside the door, and / or the ambient lighting is located inside the vehicle body.
[0066] With the above settings, ambient lighting can provide soft illumination inside the vehicle, enhancing the interior atmosphere and improving passenger comfort and satisfaction. Ambient lighting can also improve the aesthetics of the vehicle's interior.

Detailed Implementation
[0091] In related technologies, vehicle ambient lighting has a uniform brightness, which cannot meet users' requirements for different brightness in different locations, and thus cannot meet users' personalized needs.
[0092] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this application provides a vehicle ambient light and a vehicle. By incorporating multiple incident and exit surfaces in a first light-transmitting component, and ensuring that the light emission directions of a portion of the exit surfaces intersect, high-brightness and low-brightness areas can be formed at specific locations. This allows the vehicle ambient light to achieve specific brightness levels in specific areas, thereby enhancing the ambiance and meeting users' personalized needs. Both the incident and exit surfaces in the first light-transmitting component can refract light, thus precisely controlling the direction of light propagation. By providing high-brightness ambient lighting at specific locations, not only can the aesthetics of the vehicle interior be improved, but the user's visual experience and comfort can also be enhanced. This provides a better ambiance when driving or parking at night, increasing user satisfaction.

The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0094] Reference Figure 1 In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle ambient light 10, which includes a light-emitting component 100 and a first light-transmitting component 200.
[0095] In some embodiments, the light-emitting component 100 is the core component of the vehicle ambient light 10, responsible for generating a light source. The light-emitting component 100 includes a substrate 110 and a light-emitting element 120, which is located on the substrate 110 and is used to emit light.
[0096] In some embodiments, the substrate 110 is a support structure for the light-emitting component 100, and is typically made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as an aluminum substrate 110 or a ceramic substrate 110. The light-emitting element 120 is a light source mounted on the substrate 110, and is an LED (light-emitting diode) or other type.
[0097] The substrate 110 provides stable support and good heat dissipation, ensuring that the light-emitting element 120 maintains a suitable temperature during operation and extending its service life. As a light source, the light-emitting element 120 provides stable and efficient light output, laying the foundation for the lighting effect of the vehicle ambient light 10.
[0098] It is understood that the light-emitting element 120 is mounted on the substrate 110 by welding, bonding, or other fixing methods. The position and arrangement of the light-emitting element 120 can be adjusted according to design requirements to achieve better light output effect.
[0099] When the light-emitting element 120 is powered on, it emits light. The wavelength and intensity of the light can be adjusted according to specific design requirements. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 120 can be monochromatic or polychromatic. By controlling the current or voltage, different light effects can be achieved.
[0100] In some embodiments, the first light-transmitting component 200 is located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting component 100, that is, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 120 first passes through the first light-transmitting component 200.
[0101] Understandably, the first light-transmitting component 200 is typically made of transparent or translucent materials, such as glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate.
[0102] It should be noted that by placing the first light-transmitting component 200 on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting component 100, the light emitted by the light-emitting component 120 can be directly controlled, ensuring that the light undergoes optical processing first, which can improve the utilization efficiency and effect of the light.
[0103] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first light-transmitting component 200 has a plurality of incident surfaces 210 and a plurality of exit surfaces 220.
[0104] It is understood that the incident surface 210 and the exit surface 220 may have the same or different shapes. In the embodiments of this application, the incident surface 210 and the exit surface 220 have the same shape, such as a plane, a curved surface or other geometric shape. The incident surface 210 and the exit surface 220 can be formed by precision machining, such as grinding, polishing or injection molding.
[0105] In this way, the light undergoes multiple reflections and refractions within the first light-transmitting component 200, thereby precisely controlling the propagation path and direction of the light and improving the utilization efficiency of the light.
[0106] With the above configuration, the design of multiple incident surfaces 210 and multiple exit surfaces 220 enables the first light-transmitting component 200 to control the light from multiple angles and directions. This increases the refraction or reflection path of the light, making the light distribution more uniform or concentrated, and meeting different lighting needs.
[0107] With the combined action of the incident surface 210 and the exit surface 220, light can be refracted or reflected. That is, the first light-transmitting component 200 refracts or reflects the passing light through its geometry and material properties. Refraction refers to the phenomenon that light changes direction when passing through different media, while reflection refers to the phenomenon that light returns to its original medium when it encounters an interface.
[0108] With the above settings, by refracting or reflecting light, the first light-transmitting component 200 can change the direction of light propagation and improve the efficiency of light utilization. In this way, light in a specific area can be concentrated or dispersed, enhancing the lighting effect and visual impact of the vehicle ambient light 10.
[0109] Reference Figure 1Multiple incident surfaces 210 correspond one-to-one with multiple exit surfaces 220. The multiple incident surfaces 210 are all located on the light emission path of the light-emitting element 120, and the exit surfaces 220 are located on the light emission side of the corresponding incident surface 210.
[0110] Understandably, the above settings allow for precise control of the optical path, avoiding cross-interference between different optical paths. Furthermore, they improve light utilization, thereby reducing scattering losses, and eliminate dark areas, ensuring uniform light coverage.
[0111] It should be noted that the first light-transmitting component 200 can be a component made of a transparent optical material, such as optical plastic or optical glass. For example, the first light-transmitting component 200 has a structure with multiple prisms, each prism having an incident surface 210 and a corresponding exit surface 220.
[0112] Reference Figure 1 The incident surface 210 and the corresponding exiting surface 220 have different light emission directions, and the light emission directions of a portion of the exiting surfaces 220 intersect to form a high-brightness area 201 and a low-brightness area 202. That is, multiple incident surfaces 210 and multiple exiting surfaces 220 work together to concentrate light into specific areas, forming a high-brightness area 201 and a low-brightness area 202. The brightness of the high-brightness area 201 is greater than the brightness of the low-brightness area 202. In other words, the high-brightness area 201 refers to the area with higher light intensity, and the low-brightness area 202 refers to the area with lower light intensity.
[0113] It is understandable that in the first light-transmitting component 200 mentioned above, the shapes and angles of the multiple prism structures are different, which results in different light emission directions of the incident surface 210 and the corresponding exit surface 220.
[0114] It should be noted that the light emission directions of some of the emitting surfaces are designed to intersect. For example, in certain areas of the first light-transmitting component 200, the light emission directions of two or more adjacent emitting surfaces 220 intersect at a point or a certain area in space. In these intersecting areas, the intensity of the light is relatively concentrated, thus forming a high-brightness area 201. This is because in the intersecting area, the light from different emitting surfaces superimposes on each other, increasing the light intensity and brightness of that area. In other areas, the light emission directions of the emitting surfaces 220 do not intersect or the light distribution is more dispersed, forming a low-brightness area 202.
[0115] By forming a high-brightness part 201 and a low-brightness part 202, the lighting effect of the vehicle ambient light 10 can be enhanced, so that the vehicle ambient light 10 has a higher brightness in a specific area, thereby improving the aesthetics of the vehicle interior and the user's visual experience.
[0116] Specifically, when the light emitted by the light-emitting element 120 enters the first light-transmitting component 200 from the incident surface 210, it will be refracted inside the prism structure. Since the refraction angles of different prism structures are different, the light emitted from the corresponding exit surface 220 after refraction will have different directions.
[0117] The aforementioned brightness differences can be adjusted according to the specific layout of the vehicle's interior and the user's personalized needs.
[0118] For example, for users who like to read in the car, the high-brightness part 201 can be placed on the inside of the car door near the reading area for easy reading; for users who value the overall atmosphere of the car, a warm and comfortable car atmosphere can be created by reasonably designing the position and brightness difference between the high-brightness part 201 and the low-brightness part 202.
[0119] Understandably, the formation of the high-brightness part 201 and the low-brightness part 202 can effectively achieve the effect of different brightness levels of the vehicle's ambient lighting in different locations, thus meeting users' needs for personalized interior ambient lighting.
[0120] Reference Figure 1 As an optional implementation, the light emission directions of any two adjacent incident surfaces 210 intersect.
[0121] It is understandable that when the light emission directions of two adjacent incident surfaces 210 intersect, the two beams of light will overlap in the intersecting area, increasing the light intensity in that area and thus creating a bright spot inside the vehicle.
[0122] Through the aforementioned intersecting design, brightness differences can be created in different locations within the vehicle, namely, the high-brightness area 201 and the low-brightness area 202. These brightness differences can create different interior atmospheres, making the interior lighting more layered and personalized, meeting the diverse needs of users for ambient lighting, and enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle interior and the user's visual experience.
[0123] Reference Figure 1 As an optional implementation, the light emission directions of any two adjacent emission surfaces 220 intersect.
[0124] It is understandable that when the light emission directions of two adjacent emission surfaces 220 intersect, the two beams of light will overlap in the intersecting area, increasing the light intensity in that area and thus creating a bright spot inside the vehicle.
[0125] Through the aforementioned intersecting design, brightness differences can be created in different locations within the vehicle, namely, the high-brightness area 201 and the low-brightness area 202. These brightness differences can create different interior atmospheres, making the interior lighting more layered and personalized, meeting the diverse needs of users for ambient lighting, and enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle interior and the user's visual experience.
[0126] Reference Figure 2 As an optional implementation, the incident surface 210 includes an edge incident surface 211, which is located on the periphery of the first light-transmitting component 200; the angle between the light incident direction B of the edge incident surface 211 and the extension direction A of the substrate 110 is an acute angle.
[0127] Specifically, the edge incident surface 211 is located on the periphery of the first light-transmitting component 200, allowing light to enter the first light-transmitting component 200 from the periphery. The acute angle between the incident light direction B and the extending direction A of the substrate 110 is set so that after entering the edge incident surface 211, the light propagates along a path intersecting the extending direction A of the substrate 110.
[0128] It should be noted that if the angle between the incident light direction B and the extension direction A of the substrate 110 is a right angle or an obtuse angle, the light will propagate towards the periphery of the first light-transmitting component 200, that is, illuminate the edge of the vehicle ambient light 10, which may cause the brightness of the bright part 201 located on the periphery to be substandard, thereby affecting the lighting effect of the vehicle ambient light 10.
[0129] By setting the edge incident surface 211 on the periphery, the incident light direction B forms an acute angle with the extension direction A of the substrate 110. That is, the outgoing light corresponding to the edge incident surface 211 is closer to the center position. This can reduce the loss of light during the propagation process, so that more light can be guided to the area that needs to be illuminated, and improve the utilization efficiency of light.
[0130] The optimization of the aforementioned propagation path helps to guide light to specific areas, making the light distribution more uniform or concentrated, thereby enhancing the lighting effect and visual aesthetics of the in-vehicle ambient light 10.
[0131] Reference Figure 2 As an optional implementation, the emission surface 220 includes an edge emission surface 221, which is located on the periphery of the first light-transmitting component 200; the angle between the light emission direction C of the edge emission surface 221 and the extension direction A of the substrate 110 is an acute angle.
[0132] It should be noted that if the angle between the light emission direction C and the extension direction A of the substrate 110 is a right angle or an obtuse angle, the light will propagate towards the periphery of the first light-transmitting component 200, that is, illuminate the edge of the vehicle ambient light 10, which may cause the brightness of the bright part 201 located on the periphery to be substandard, thereby affecting the lighting effect of the vehicle ambient light 10.
[0133] By setting the edge emission surface 221 on the periphery, the light emission direction C forms an acute angle with the extension direction A of the substrate 110. That is, the emitted light corresponding to the edge emission surface 221 is closer to the center position. This can reduce the loss of light during the propagation process, so that more light can be guided to the area that needs to be illuminated, and improve the utilization efficiency of light.
[0134] The optimization of the aforementioned propagation path helps to guide light to specific areas, making the light distribution more uniform or concentrated, thereby enhancing the lighting effect and visual aesthetics of the in-vehicle ambient light 10.
[0135] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first light-transmitting component 200 further includes a main board 230 and a plurality of side panels 240.
[0136] Through the above configuration, the combination of the main board 230 and multiple side plates 240 provides a stable structure, ensuring the mechanical strength and stability of the entire light-transmitting component. The side plates 240 effectively limit the light propagation path, preventing outward scattering and thus improving light utilization efficiency and concentration. The combined design of the main board 230 and side plates 240 facilitates installation and fixation; the position and angle of the side plates 240 can be adjusted as needed to achieve optimal optical effects.
[0137] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 In some embodiments, multiple side plates 240 are arranged around the main board 230.
[0138] With the above configuration, the side plate 240 surrounds the main board 230, which can effectively concentrate and guide the light, so that the light is reflected and refracted in the optical space, thereby forming the highlight 201.
[0139] The side panel 240 prevents light from leaking outward, improving light utilization efficiency and brightness. The side panel 240 can create multiple reflections and refractions within the optical space, enhancing the optical effect and making the highlight 201 more obvious and concentrated.
[0140] The plurality of incident surfaces 210 are located on the side of the motherboard 230 facing the substrate 110, and the plurality of exit surfaces 220 are located on the side of the motherboard 230 away from the substrate 110.
[0141] As described above, the high-brightness part 201 can create a unique optical effect inside the vehicle, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere. The presence of the high-brightness part 201 can improve the aesthetics of the vehicle's ambient lighting 10, making the interior environment more comfortable and beautiful.
[0142] Multiple incident surfaces 210 are located on the side of the motherboard 230 facing the substrate 110, allowing light to enter the first light-transmitting component 200 efficiently from the light-emitting element 120. This ensures that after entering the first light-transmitting component 200, the light can propagate along a preset path, undergo internal optical processing (such as reflection and refraction), and finally exit from the exit surface 220.
[0143] Multiple emission surfaces 220 are located on the side of the motherboard 230 away from the substrate 110, so that light can be directed into the vehicle according to a preset direction and distribution, optimizing the entire propagation path of light from the light source to the vehicle interior space.
[0144] With the above configuration, the incident surface 210 and the exit surface 220 are located on opposite sides of the motherboard 230, allowing light to undergo sufficient optical processing inside the first light-transmitting component 200. For example, through reasonable reflection and refraction design, light can be evenly distributed inside the first light-transmitting component 200, thereby forming a uniform light output at the exit surface 220.
[0145] This helps create a uniform and comfortable lighting environment inside the car, and at the same time, it can achieve specific lighting effects according to different needs, such as the distribution of high and low brightness areas, thereby enhancing the ability to create atmosphere inside the car.
[0146] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 As an optional implementation, the edge emission surface 221 is located on the periphery of the motherboard 230, and the side surface of the side plate 240 opposite to the motherboard 230 is connected to the edge emission surface 221.
[0147] Specifically, connecting the edge emission surface 221 to the side plate 240 enhances the overall structural stability of the first light-transmitting component 200. The side plate 240 provides additional support for the edge emission surface 221, ensuring the stability of the entire light-transmitting component under vibration and impact during vehicle operation, thus ensuring that the lighting effect is not affected.
[0148] Furthermore, the edge emitting surface 221 is located on the periphery of the main board 230. In this configuration, the edge emitting surface 221 can receive light from the inner edge region of the first light-transmitting component 200 and, through its connection with the side panel 240, guide the light to the edges or corners of the vehicle's interior. This arrangement helps improve the uniformity of light distribution within the vehicle, ensuring that every corner of the vehicle's interior receives adequate illumination.
[0149] In addition, the connection between the edge emitting surface 221 and the side panel 240 can achieve a smooth transition of light at the edge of the vehicle interior, avoiding light cutoff, thereby improving the aesthetics and visual comfort of the vehicle interior, and making the ambient lighting in the vehicle interior more natural and harmonious.
[0150] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the side plate 240 has a mounting groove 241 on the side away from the main board 230, and the depth of the mounting groove 241 extends along the length direction of the substrate 110. That is, the depth of the mounting groove 241 is consistent with the length direction of the substrate 110.
[0151] The depth of the mounting groove 241 extends along the length of the substrate 110, ensuring that the substrate 110 is uniformly fixed along its entire length and preventing it from becoming loose or falling off. This design ensures a consistent depth of the substrate 110 within the mounting groove 241, thereby improving the structural consistency and stability of the entire light-transmitting assembly. The uniformly fixed substrate 110 ensures a uniform distribution of light within the light-transmitting assembly, reducing light scattering and non-uniformity, thus improving optical performance.
[0152] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the substrate 110 is snapped into the mounting groove 241. The snap-fit method provides a secure fixation, ensuring the stability of the substrate 110 within the mounting groove 241 and preventing the substrate 110 from moving or falling off during use.
[0153] It should be noted that the snap-fit method facilitates installation and disassembly, simplifies the installation process, and improves production efficiency and maintenance convenience. The snap-fit method can increase the structural stability of the entire light-transmitting assembly, ensure a tight connection between the substrate 110 and the side plate 240, and improve the consistency and stability of the optical effect.
[0154] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 In some embodiments, the vehicle ambient light 10 also includes a second light-transmitting component 300.
[0155] The second light-transmitting component 300 is located on the light-emitting side of the first light-transmitting component 200, meaning that after the light passes through the first light-transmitting component 200, it will continue to pass through the second light-transmitting component 300.
[0156] With the above settings, it can be ensured that the light from the high-brightness section 201 formed by the first light-transmitting component 200 can be effectively transmitted to the second light-transmitting component 300, thereby achieving the expected high-brightness effect; in addition, it can prevent the light from being blocked or scattered by other structures during transmission, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the light.
[0157] In some embodiments, the second light-transmitting component 300 includes a light-transmitting portion 301, which corresponds to a high-brightness portion 201.
[0158] With the above settings, it can be ensured that the light from the high-brightness portion 201 formed by the first light-transmitting component 200 can accurately pass through the second light-transmitting component 300, thereby achieving the desired high-brightness effect in specific locations within the interior of the vehicle 20. This design can precisely control the propagation path and brightness distribution of the light, making the effect of the vehicle ambient lighting 10 more controllable and precise.
[0159] In some embodiments, along an extension direction perpendicular to the substrate 110, the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting portion 301 on the substrate 110 covers the orthogonal projection of the highlight portion 201 on the substrate 110.
[0160] This ensures that light can pass accurately through the light-transmitting part 301, thereby achieving the desired optical effect.
[0161] Furthermore, the aforementioned coverage relationship ensures that the light from the high-brightness portion 201 formed by the first light-transmitting component 200 can accurately pass through the light-transmitting portion 301 of the second light-transmitting component 300, thereby achieving the desired high-brightness effect in specific locations within the interior of the vehicle 20. This prevents light from being blocked or scattered by other structures during transmission, improving light utilization efficiency and brightness.
[0162] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second light-transmitting component 300 includes an opaque portion 302, which is an area through which light cannot pass. The presence of the opaque portion 302 can effectively block unwanted light, thereby preventing ineffective scattering and leakage of light. This design helps to improve the efficiency of light utilization, allowing light to be concentrated in the desired area, forming a more obvious highlight 201.
[0163] The opaque portion 302 is located around the translucent portion 301. That is, the translucent portion 301 is surrounded by the opaque portion 302. This arrangement further restricts the propagation path of light, ensuring that light can only pass through the translucent portion 301, thereby concentrating the light in a specific area to form the highlight portion 201. The surrounding effect of the opaque portion 302 prevents light from scattering to the surroundings, improving the concentration and brightness of the light.
[0164] Along the extension direction perpendicular to the substrate 110, the orthographic projection of the opaque portion 302 on the substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the bright portion 201 on the substrate 110 are alternately arranged.
[0165] The opaque portion 302 is projected onto the substrate 110 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 110, forming a positive projection area. The positive projection area of the highlight portion 201 and the positive projection area of the opaque portion 302 are staggered, that is, their positions are offset from each other and do not completely overlap.
[0166] By staggering the light distribution, it is ensured that the light from the highlight area 201 is not blocked by the opaque area 302, thus allowing the light to pass effectively through the translucent area 301. This design further improves light utilization efficiency and brightness. The staggered arrangement creates a unique optical effect inside the vehicle, making the highlight area 201 more prominent and concentrated, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere. The presence of the opaque area 302 prevents light from leaking into unwanted areas, thereby improving the concentration and brightness of the light and ensuring that the effect of the highlight area 201 is more pronounced.
[0167] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second light-transmitting component 300 includes an opaque panel 320. An opaque panel 320 is a material that cannot transmit light. The second light-transmitting component 300 includes one or more opaque panels 320.
[0168] The presence of the opaque panel 320 effectively blocks unwanted light, thus preventing ineffective light scattering and leakage. This design helps improve light utilization efficiency, allowing light to be concentrated in the desired area, forming a more obvious highlight 201.
[0169] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the opaque plate 320 has an opening 321, which forms a light-transmitting portion 301. By providing the opening 321 on the opaque plate 320, the propagation path of light can be precisely controlled, ensuring that light can only pass through the light-transmitting portion 301, thereby concentrating the light in a specific area to form a highlight portion 201. The design of the opening 321 can effectively guide light through the light-transmitting portion 301, improving the utilization efficiency and brightness of light. The opening 321 design of the light-transmitting portion 301 can create a unique optical effect inside the vehicle, making the highlight portion 201 more obvious and concentrated, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0170] In some embodiments, there are multiple opaque plates 320, and adjacent opaque plates 320 together form a light-transmitting portion 301. That is, the gap between the opaque plates 320 is the light-transmitting portion 301.
[0171] The light-transmitting section 301, formed by the gaps between multiple opaque panels 320, effectively controls the propagation path of light, ensuring that light can only pass through these gaps. This concentrates the light in a specific area, creating a highlight section 201. The gap design between the multiple opaque panels 320 effectively guides light through the light-transmitting section 301, improving light utilization efficiency and brightness. The gap design of the light-transmitting section 301 creates a unique optical effect inside the vehicle, making the highlight section 201 more prominent and concentrated, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0172] In some embodiments, the number of openings 321 is multiple.
[0173] Multiple openings 321 allow light to pass through the opaque plate 320 at multiple locations, thereby creating light-transmitting portions 301 in multiple areas. This design achieves a more uniform light distribution, improving overall brightness and visual effect. The design of multiple openings 321 provides greater flexibility, allowing the number and position of the openings 321 to be adjusted as needed to achieve specific optical effects and design requirements.
[0174] In some embodiments, the plurality of openings 321 are spaced apart.
[0175] The spaced openings 321 effectively control the light propagation path, ensuring that light passes through at specific intervals, thus forming a regular highlight area 201. This design avoids excessive concentration or dispersion of light, improving light utilization efficiency. Secondly, the spaced openings 321 create an orderly light distribution, enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle's ambient lighting 10 and making the interior environment more comfortable and beautiful.
[0176] In addition, the spaced openings 321 can create a regular optical effect inside the vehicle, making the highlights 201 more obvious and concentrated, thus enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0177] In some embodiments, the opening 321 is rectangular, circular, or elliptical in shape.
[0178] For example, the rectangular opening 321 can produce a more uniform light distribution, making it suitable for areas requiring large-area lighting. The rectangular shape can effectively guide light along the long side, thereby achieving uniform light coverage.
[0179] The rectangular opening 321 allows for adjustment of the lengths of its long and short sides as needed to achieve different optical effects and design requirements. For example, the range and brightness of light propagation can be controlled by adjusting the length of the long side.
[0180] The rectangular opening 321 can create a linear light strip effect inside the car, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0181] For example, the circular opening 321 can produce a uniform light distribution, suitable for areas requiring focused lighting. The circular shape can effectively guide light to diffuse evenly in all directions, thereby achieving uniform light coverage.
[0182] The circular opening 321 has symmetry and aesthetics, which can enhance the appearance of the vehicle interior ambient light 10, making the interior environment more comfortable and beautiful.
[0183] The circular opening 321 can create a dotted light source effect inside the car, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0184] For example, the elliptical opening 321 can produce a more uniform light distribution, making it suitable for areas requiring large-area lighting. The elliptical shape can effectively guide light along its long axis, thereby achieving uniform light coverage.
[0185] The elliptical aperture 321 allows for adjustment of the lengths of its major and minor axes to achieve different optical effects and design requirements. For example, the range and brightness of light propagation can be controlled by adjusting the length of the major axis.
[0186] The oval opening 321 can create a soft light strip effect inside the car, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere and making the atmosphere softer and more comfortable.
[0187] In some embodiments, the second light-transmitting component 300 further includes a light-transmitting plate 310, which refers to a plate material capable of transmitting light.
[0188] The light-transmitting plate 310 can effectively and evenly distribute the light passing through the opening 321, reducing light scattering and unevenness, thereby improving the overall light quality. The light-transmitting plate 310 can protect the internal optical components and the area of the opening 321, preventing dust and impurities from entering, thus extending the service life of the components. The light-transmitting plate 310 provides a smooth surface, resulting in softer and more uniform light, enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle interior ambient light 10.
[0189] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 310 at least covers the high-brightness portion 201, that is, the coverage area of the light-transmitting plate 310 includes, but is not limited to, the high-brightness portion 201.
[0190] By covering the highlight area 201, the light-transmitting panel 310 can effectively concentrate and guide light, making the light from the highlight area 201 more concentrated and bright. The light-transmitting panel 310 can further evenly distribute the light from the highlight area 201, reducing light scattering and unevenness, thereby improving the light quality of the highlight area 201. Covering the highlight area 201 with the light-transmitting panel 310 can make the light from the highlight area 201 softer and more uniform, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0191] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 310 is located within the opening 321. That is, the light-transmitting plate 310 is installed inside the opening 321 of the opaque plate 320, i.e., the light-transmitting plate 310 is embedded in the opening 321.
[0192] Through the above-described configuration, the light-transmitting plate 310 can effectively guide the light passing through the opening 321, allowing the light to propagate in a more concentrated and orderly manner, thereby improving the utilization efficiency and brightness of the light. In addition, the light-transmitting plate 310 provides good mechanical stability, preventing it from moving or falling off during use and ensuring the consistency and stability of the optical effect. The light-transmitting plate 310 being located within the opening 321 makes the surface of the entire light-transmitting component smoother and more aesthetically pleasing, enhancing the appearance of the vehicle interior ambient light 10.
[0193] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 310 covers the opening of the aperture 321, which can effectively and evenly distribute the light passing through the aperture 321, reduce light scattering and non-uniformity, thereby improving the overall light quality. Additionally, it can prevent dust and impurities from entering the internal optical components through the aperture 321, thus protecting the internal components and extending their service life. The light-transmitting plate 310 covering the aperture makes the light passing through the aperture 321 softer and more uniform, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere.
[0194] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 310 is located on the side of the opaque plate 320 away from the first light-transmitting component 200, and the light-transmitting plate 310 and the first light-transmitting component 200 are separated by the opaque plate 320.
[0195] The light-transmitting plate 310 is located outside the opaque plate 320, effectively guiding and evenly distributing the light passing through the opening 321, allowing the light to propagate more concentratedly and orderly, thus improving light utilization efficiency and brightness. The light-transmitting plate 310, located outside the opaque plate 320, protects both the opaque plate 320 and the area of the opening 321, preventing dust and impurities from entering, thereby extending the service life of the second light-transmitting component 300. This arrangement facilitates installation and maintenance; the light-transmitting plate 310 can directly cover the outside of the opaque plate 320, simplifying the installation process.
[0196] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 310 covers the opaque plate 320.
[0197] With the above configuration, the light-transmitting plate 310 covers the entire opaque plate 320, effectively and evenly distributing the light passing through the opening 321, reducing light scattering and unevenness, thereby improving the overall light quality. Additionally, the light-transmitting plate 310 provides a smooth surface, resulting in softer and more uniform light, enhancing the aesthetics of the vehicle interior ambient lighting 10. Finally, the light-transmitting plate 310 covering the entire opaque plate 320 prevents dust and impurities from entering the internal optical components through the opening 321, thus protecting the internal components and extending their lifespan.
[0198] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 310 covers the opening of the aperture 321. That is, the size and shape of the light-transmitting plate 310 match the opening of the aperture 321, completely covering the opening.
[0199] The light-transmitting plate 310 covers the opening of the aperture 321, effectively concentrating and guiding light, making the light in the highlight area 201 more concentrated and brighter. Covering the aperture with the light-transmitting plate 310 further evenly distributes the light passing through the aperture 321, reducing light scattering and unevenness, thereby improving the light quality of the highlight area 201. Covering the aperture with the light-transmitting plate 310 also makes the light passing through the aperture 321 softer and more uniform.
[0200] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 310 is bonded to the opaque plate 320.
[0201] The adhesive bonding method provides a strong connection, ensuring stability between the light-transmitting plate 310 and the opaque plate 320, and preventing loosening or detachment during use. Furthermore, bonding ensures there are no gaps between the light-transmitting plate 310 and the opaque plate 320, thus preventing light leakage and scattering, and ensuring consistent and stable optical effects. Secondly, the adhesive bonding method facilitates installation and manufacturing, reducing installation steps and time, and improving production efficiency.
[0202] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 In some embodiments, one of the opaque panel 320 and the light-transmitting panel 310 extends with a mounting section 330. The mounting section 330 is used to secure the entire assembly.
[0203] With the above setup, the mounting section 330 can provide additional support and fixation, ensuring the stability of the light-transmitting component inside the vehicle body and preventing it from loosening or falling off during vehicle 20 operation.
[0204] Understandably, the installation section 330 can be designed and adjusted according to different installation needs to adapt to the requirements of different vehicle models and installation locations.
[0205] In some embodiments, the mounting section 330 is used for snap-fitting or screwing into the interior of the vehicle body.
[0206] Understandably, snap-fit or screw-fit methods provide a secure fixation, ensuring the stability of the light-transmitting component within the vehicle body and preventing loosening or detachment during vehicle operation. Snap-fit or screw-fit methods facilitate installation and disassembly, simplifying future maintenance and replacement, and improving ease of use. Furthermore, snap-fit or screw-fit methods can adapt to different installation locations and structures, offering greater design flexibility and adaptability.
[0207] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7In this embodiment, the mounting section 330 is formed by extending through an opaque plate 310.
[0208] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the light-emitting component 100 includes a plurality of light-emitting elements 120. The light-emitting elements 120 may be LED lights, OLED lights, or other types of light sources.
[0209] Understandably, multiple light-emitting elements 120 can provide higher total light output, improving overall brightness. Multiple light-emitting elements 120 can evenly distribute light, reducing light unevenness and dark areas, thereby improving light quality. The design of multiple light-emitting elements 120 offers greater flexibility, allowing the number and position of the light-emitting elements 120 to be adjusted as needed to achieve specific optical effects and design requirements.
[0210] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, multiple light-emitting elements 120 are arranged in an array on the substrate 110. The array arrangement can be a rectangular array, a honeycomb array, or other forms of array.
[0211] Understandably, array arrangement ensures the uniform distribution of light-emitting elements 120 on substrate 110, thereby achieving uniform light coverage and reducing light inhomogeneity and dark areas. Array arrangement can increase the density of light-emitting elements 120, improving overall light output and brightness. Array arrangement can create a regular optical effect inside the vehicle, resulting in a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing light distribution, enhancing the visual impact of the interior atmosphere. Array arrangement can be adjusted and optimized according to different design requirements to achieve better optical and visual effects.
[0212] In some embodiments, the light emission paths of the multiple light-emitting elements 120 do not intersect. A light emission path refers to the path along which light emitted from a light-emitting element 120 propagates. That is, the light propagation path of each light-emitting element 120 is independent and does not overlap or intersect with the light paths of other light-emitting elements 120.
[0213] By configuring the light emission paths as described above, the absence of intersecting paths ensures that the light from each light-emitting element 120 propagates independently, reducing interference and overlap, thereby improving the uniformity and quality of the light. The absence of intersecting light emission paths also reduces interference between light rays, avoiding uneven brightness and spot phenomena caused by overlapping light rays, thus improving optical effects. Furthermore, the absence of intersecting light emission paths ensures that the light propagates along a preset path, achieving better optical and visual effects.
[0214] In some embodiments, the vehicle ambient light 10 further includes a controller; a plurality of light-emitting elements 120 are electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is configured to control the input current of the light-emitting elements 120 to control the brightness of the light-emitting elements 120.
[0215] Through the above settings, on the one hand, by adjusting the input current, the controller can precisely control the brightness and color of the light-emitting element 120, achieving high-precision optical effects. On the other hand, the controller can optimize the power consumption of the light-emitting element 120, achieving energy saving and consumption reduction. Furthermore, the controller can reduce overload and overheating of the light-emitting element 120, thereby extending its service life.
[0216] On the other hand, the controller can achieve different optical and visual effects, enhancing the visual impact of the in-car atmosphere. The brightness adjustment function can improve user comfort and satisfaction, providing a better user experience.
[0217] Reference Figure 8 Secondly, this application embodiment also provides a vehicle 20, which can be various types of motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, and buses. By adding ambient lighting 10, the interior quality and overall value of the vehicle 20 can be improved.
[0218] In some embodiments, the vehicle 20 includes a vehicle body and a vehicle body ambient light 10. The vehicle body ambient light 10 is located inside the vehicle body.
[0219] Understandably, the vehicle ambient lighting 10 can enhance the atmosphere and comfort inside the vehicle through different color and brightness adjustments. The vehicle ambient lighting 10 can create unique optical effects inside the vehicle, enhancing its visual impact and aesthetics. The vehicle ambient lighting 10 provides soft illumination, reducing eye fatigue and improving passenger comfort and satisfaction.
[0220] Reference Figure 8 In some embodiments, the vehicle body includes a body and doors 21. The vehicle body, including the body and doors 21, ensures the structural integrity and functionality of the vehicle 20, providing necessary support and protection.
[0221] In some embodiments, the vehicle ambient light 10 is located inside the door 21 or inside the vehicle body. The specific location of the vehicle ambient light 10 is not limited in the embodiments of this application, nor is it limited to the above examples.
[0222] With the above settings, the vehicle ambient lighting 10 can provide soft illumination inside the vehicle, enhancing the interior atmosphere and improving passenger comfort and satisfaction. The vehicle ambient lighting 10 can also provide additional illumination at night or in low-light conditions, improving visibility inside the vehicle and facilitating passenger movement. Furthermore, the vehicle ambient lighting 10 can enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle's interior.
