Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive lights, and in particular to an ultra-thin automotive sequential light. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, automotive sequential turn signals generally face the problem of excessive height due to bulky structures. Traditional solutions rely on multi-layered lamp bodies and exposed mounting brackets, which not only increases the thickness of the lamp body but also limits waterproof and dustproof performance due to the exposed brackets. The installation is complex, requiring multiple screws and special tooling, and is prone to loosening due to operational errors. There is also redundancy in materials and processes, with excessive stacking of materials to meet strength requirements, resulting in increased weight. This seriously restricts the trend of thinner and more integrated front-end designs and the goal of lightweighting. Utility Model Content

This significantly reduces the overall height of the automotive sequential light while simplifying the installation process, enhancing structural stability, and taking into account lightweight, weather resistance, and cost-effectiveness. It provides a thinner, more integrated, and more reliable innovative design for automotive front lighting systems.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner lampshade is also fixed to the outer lampshade in a similar configuration.
[0007] Furthermore, the light panel is composed of several mini LEDs, which are arranged at intervals along the inner lampshade.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom shell and the outer lamp cover are fixed together by vibration friction welding.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer lamp cover is injection molded in two colors.
[0010] Furthermore, the color on the outer lampshade corresponding to the position of the inner lampshade is adapted to the color of the inner lampshade.

[0012] Furthermore, a fitting fastener is provided on the back of the bottom shell.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying 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.
[0024] A type of ultra-thin automotive sequential light, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a base shell 1, an outer lamp cover 2, an inner lamp cover 3, and a lamp plate 4; the lamp plate 4 is disposed inside the base shell 1 and the outer lamp cover 2, and the base shell 1 and the outer lamp cover 2 are fixed together; the inner lamp cover 3 is a diffusion film, and the inner lamp cover 3 is disposed between the outer lamp cover 2 and the lamp plate 4, and is fixed to the outer lamp cover 2.
[0025] Specifically, the design utilizes a modular approach with a base shell 1, an outer lampshade 2, and an inner lampshade 3. The outer lampshade 2 serves as a structural support, while the inner lampshade 3 independently performs optical functions, achieving functional modularity. The outer lampshade 2 can be made of rigid materials to ensure strength, while the inner lampshade 3 uses an ultra-thin flexible film, allowing for significant height reduction. An optical-grade diffusion film replaces the traditional friction cover or light guide plate, and the light diffusion angle is controlled through a microprism structure, ensuring uniform light emission even at an ultra-thin height. The lamp plate 4 is directly attached to the base shell 1, and the outer lampshade 2 is fixed by welding, eliminating the buffer layer in traditional designs and further reducing the overall height.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the inner lampshade 3 has lampshade fixing points 3-1 at both ends, and the inner lampshade 3 is fixed to the outer lampshade 2 through the lampshade fixing points 3-1.
[0027] Specifically, by setting lampshade fixing points 3-1 at both ends of the inner lampshade 3, precise positioning and stable connection between the inner lampshade 3 and the outer lampshade 2 are achieved, avoiding displacement or deformation of the inner lampshade 3 during assembly, ensuring the stability of the optical diffusion effect, and improving the overall reliability of the product. The design of lampshade fixing points 3-1 simplifies the assembly process of the inner lampshade 3 and the outer lampshade 2, eliminating the need for additional fasteners or complex assembly steps, thus improving production efficiency, reducing assembly costs, and reducing quality problems caused by improper assembly. The stable connection between the inner lampshade 3 and the outer lampshade 2 ensures the flatness and uniformity of the optical diffusion film, improves the uniformity and brightness of the light, and makes the dynamic effect of the flowing light more fluid and beautiful.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the inner lampshade 3 is also fixed to the outer lampshade 2 in a similar configuration.
[0029] Specifically, the inner lampshade 3 is also fixed to the outer lampshade 2 in a conformal manner. The inner lampshade 3 fits the curved surface or irregular contour of the outer lampshade 2, realizing the deep integration of optical components and structural parts. This can further reduce the overall height, eliminate assembly gaps, and improve the consistency of appearance.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the light panel 4 is composed of a number of mini LEDs 4-1, and the number of mini LEDs 4-1 are arranged at intervals along the inner lamp cover 3.
[0031] Specifically, by using mini LEDs 4-1 to replace traditional large-size LEDs, the size of a single LED can be compressed to a smaller size. Combined with the diffusion film of the inner lampshade 3, an ultra-thin design is achieved while ensuring luminous efficiency. The mini LEDs 4-1 are arranged at intervals along the inner lampshade 3 to form a linear light strip. With the partition control of the driving circuit, the dense arrangement of the mini LEDs 4-1 and the diffusion film of the inner lampshade 3 work together to make the light emission uniformity better.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the bottom shell 1 and the outer lamp cover 2 are fixed together by vibration friction welding.
[0033] Specifically, by using vibration friction welding, high-frequency vibration friction generates heat, causing the contact surface between the bottom shell 1 and the outer lamp cover 2 to partially melt and bond together, eliminating the need for additional structural components and thus further reducing the overall height.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the outer lamp cover 2 is made by two-color injection molding.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the color of the outer lampshade 2 corresponding to the position of the inner lampshade 3 is adapted to the color of the inner lampshade 3.
[0036] Specifically, by using a two-color injection molding process, the optical functional layer and the structural functional layer of the outer lamp cover 2 are integrally molded, replacing the traditional split structure and further reducing the overall height.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the back of the bottom shell 1 is provided with adhesive 1-1.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the bottom shell 1 has a mating fastener 1-2 on its back side.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it consists of two parts: the grille light section and the hood light section.
[0040] Specifically, the adhesive backing 1-1 provides pre-fixation, and the fasteners 1-2 work together to achieve double fixation, replacing the traditional single fastening method. The standardized interface enables quick assembly and disassembly, and it is compatible with the front face design of different car models.
