Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically relating to a modular assembly structure for vehicle lights. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle lights are the lighting components of a car, including headlights and taillights. Currently, taillights are assembled by using special screws to fasten the body sheet metal and the lamp housing. Therefore, assembly can be difficult due to the limited space in the body sheet metal. In addition, when the taillights need to be replaced, disassembly is difficult because they are fastened with screws. To solve at least one of these technical problems, it is necessary to develop a modular assembly structure for vehicle lights. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular assembly structure for vehicle lights to solve the aforementioned technical problems. This modular assembly structure includes a lamp housing that can be connected to a body sheet metal part. A mounting bracket is provided between the lamp housing and the body sheet metal part, and the mounting bracket is used to mount the vehicle light. By providing a mounting bracket between the lamp housing and the body sheet metal part, the mounting position of the vehicle light is shifted to the mounting bracket, making the vehicle light easier to install. This technical solution uses modular assembly of the body sheet metal part, mounting bracket, vehicle light, and lamp housing, reducing the overall installation difficulty. When the vehicle light needs to be replaced, it can be replaced layer by layer, making disassembly convenient and reducing operational difficulty.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A modular assembly structure for vehicle lights includes a lamp housing that can be connected to a vehicle body sheet metal part. A mounting bracket is provided between the lamp housing and the vehicle body sheet metal part, and the mounting bracket is used to mount the vehicle light. The mounting bracket between the lamp housing and the vehicle body sheet metal part shifts the mounting position of the vehicle light to the mounting bracket, making the vehicle light easier to install. This technical solution uses modular assembly of the vehicle body sheet metal part, mounting bracket, vehicle light, and lamp housing, reducing the overall installation difficulty. When the vehicle light needs to be replaced, it can be replaced layer by layer, making disassembly convenient and reducing operational difficulty.

[0006] Preferably, the vehicle light is disposed between the mounting bracket and the light housing.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting bracket includes a bracket body and a first limiting mechanism disposed on the bracket body;

[0008] The lamp housing is equipped with a second limiting mechanism connected to the first limiting mechanism to restrict the movement of the lamp. The first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism are respectively disposed on the bracket body and the lamp housing. When the first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism are connected, the lamp is limited to the position between the mounting bracket and the lamp housing. This installation method facilitates assembly, and when the lamp needs to be replaced, the connection between the first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism is released, thereby releasing the limitation on the lamp and facilitating disassembly and replacement of the lamp.

[0009] Preferably, the first limiting mechanism includes a deformable part that allows the second limiting mechanism to penetrate into the first limiting mechanism, and a control end that restricts the deformation of the deformable part to separate from the second limiting mechanism;

[0010] The second limiting mechanism includes a buckle that penetrates the deformation section. During installation, the buckle penetrates the interior of the deformation section, which deforms during this process to facilitate the buckle's penetration. After penetration, the buckle connects the control end to the deformation section, thereby limiting the deformation section's outward deformation in the radial direction. This limits the buckle's position, completing the connection between the mounting bracket and the lamp housing, preventing the headlight from shaking. This connection method is convenient and the assembly process is simple. When the headlight needs to be disassembled and replaced, the limiting mechanism on the deformation section is released, allowing the lamp housing to be detachable for easy disassembly and replacement.

[0011] Preferably, the deformable part includes a first column disposed on the support body, a first through hole coaxially passing through the first column, a first through groove radially passing through the first column and connected to the first through hole, and a first connecting part disposed on the outer surface of the first column. The first through groove is provided in one place or multiple places are provided at equal or unequal intervals around the axis of the first column.

[0012] The buckle body includes a connecting post connected to the lamp housing and a buckle head connected to the connecting post and capable of passing through the first through hole;

[0013] The control end includes a cover and a second connecting part disposed within the cover and connected to the first connecting part to prevent the buckle from dislodging from the outside of the first column. The buckle is located on the side of the lamp housing facing the vehicle body sheet metal. The buckle penetrates the first column through a first through hole. During penetration, the first column deforms and expands outward due to the first through groove, until the buckle moves to the axial end of the first column. The first column then returns to its original state and connects to the cover, specifically through a first external thread and a first internal thread. Thus, the radial outer surface of the first column abuts against the radial inner surface of the cover. The deformation of the radial outer surface of the first column is restricted by the cover, preventing the first column from expanding outward. The axial direction of the buckle is abutted by the axial inner surface of the cover and the axial plane of the first column, thus restricting the axial movement of the buckle. The vehicle lamp sheet metal has a second through hole on the axial projection surface where the first and second limiting mechanisms are located to avoid interference with the first and second limiting mechanisms. This connection method facilitates assembly, and during subsequent disassembly, the first column releases the restriction on the buckle, allowing the mounting bracket to be separated from the lamp housing. This facilitates disassembly for replacing the lamp and also makes it easy to replace it with other vehicles, enhancing the interchangeability of the assembly structure.

[0014] Preferably, the buckle is spherical. The diameter of the buckle is larger than the inner diameter of the first column; this allows the axial end face of the first column to abut against the buckle when the deformable portion is restricted, thereby achieving a limiting effect.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting post is provided with one or more reinforcing ribs. These reinforcing ribs are connected to the lamp housing, thereby enhancing the connection stability of the connecting post.

[0016] Preferably, the first connecting portion includes a first external thread disposed on the radially outer surface of the first column; the second connecting portion includes a first internal thread disposed on the radially inner surface of the cover and threadedly connected to the first external thread. The connection between the first external thread and the first internal thread causes the radially inner surface of the cover to abut against the radially outer surface of the first column, thereby restricting the outward expansion of the first column and confining the buckle by the first column.

[0017] In one embodiment, a snap-fit ​​connection can be used instead, with a snap-fit ​​body provided inside the cover and a snap groove provided on the first column to connect with the snap-fit ​​body.

[0018] Preferably, the first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism are arranged in groups, and one or more groups are provided. In this technical solution, two groups are symmetrically arranged along the extension direction of the mounting bracket;

[0019] Preferably, the body sheet metal parts, lamp housings, and mounting brackets are each provided with one or more screw holes that can be connected by screws. In this technical solution, six screw holes are provided, arranged around the edge;

[0020] This application has achieved beneficial technical effects:

[0021] This utility model sets up a mounting bracket between the lamp housing and the body sheet metal parts, so that the installation position of the car lamp is transferred to the mounting bracket, making the car lamp easier to install. This technical solution uses modular assembly of body sheet metal parts, mounting bracket, car lamp and lamp housing to reduce the overall installation difficulty. When the car lamp needs to be replaced, it can be replaced by disassembling layer by layer, which is convenient and reduces the difficulty of operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a modular assembly structure for a vehicle headlight includes a headlight housing 2 that can be connected to a body sheet metal part 1. A mounting bracket 3 is provided between the headlight housing 2 and the body sheet metal part 1, and the headlight is mounted on the mounting bracket 3. The mounting bracket 3 between the headlight housing 2 and the body sheet metal part 1 shifts the headlight's mounting position to the mounting bracket 3, making the headlight easier to install. This technical solution uses modular assembly of the body sheet metal part 1, mounting bracket 3, headlight, and headlight housing 2, reducing the overall installation difficulty. When the headlight needs to be replaced, it can be replaced layer by layer, making disassembly convenient and reducing operational difficulty.

[0028] The vehicle light is positioned between the mounting bracket 3 and the lamp housing 2.

[0029] The mounting bracket 3 includes a bracket body 31 and a first limiting mechanism 32 disposed on the bracket body 31;

[0030] The lamp housing 2 is provided with a second limiting mechanism 21 connected to the first limiting mechanism 32 to restrict the movement of the lamp. The first limiting mechanism 32 and the second limiting mechanism 21 are respectively provided on the bracket body 31 and the lamp housing 2. When the first limiting mechanism 31 and the second limiting mechanism 21 are connected, the lamp is limited between the mounting bracket 3 and the lamp housing 2. This installation method is convenient for assembly, and when the lamp needs to be replaced, the connection between the first limiting mechanism 32 and the second limiting mechanism 21 is released, thereby releasing the limitation on the lamp and facilitating disassembly and replacement of the lamp.

[0031] The first limiting mechanism 32 includes a deformable part that allows the second limiting mechanism 21 to pass through into the first limiting mechanism 32, and a control end that restricts the deformation of the deformable part to separate from the second limiting mechanism 21;

[0032] The second limiting mechanism 21 includes a fastener that penetrates the deformation part. During installation, the fastener penetrates the interior of the deformation part, which deforms during this process, facilitating the fastener's penetration. After penetration, the fastener connects the control end to the deformation part, thereby limiting the deformation part's outward deformation in the radial direction. This limits the fastener, completing the connection between the mounting bracket and the lamp housing, preventing the headlight from shaking. This connection method is convenient and the assembly process is simple. When the headlight needs to be disassembled and replaced, the limiting of the deformation part is released, allowing the lamp housing to be detachable for easy disassembly and replacement.

[0033] The deformable part includes a first column 321 disposed on the support body 31, a first through hole 322 coaxially passing through the first column 321, a first through groove 323 radially passing through the first column 321 and connected to the first through hole 322, and a first connecting part 324 disposed on the outer surface of the first column 321. The first through groove 323 is provided in one place or multiple places are provided at equal or unequal intervals around the axis of the first column 321.

[0034] The buckle body includes a connecting post 211 connected to the lamp housing 2 and a buckle head 212 connected to the connecting post 211 and able to pass through the first through hole 322;

[0035] The control terminal includes a cover 325 and a second connecting part disposed within the cover 325 and connected to the first connecting part 324 to prevent the buckle 212 from dislodging from the outside of the first column 321. The buckle 212 is disposed on the side of the lamp housing 2 facing the body sheet metal part 1. The buckle 212 penetrates into the interior of the first column 321 through the first through hole 322. During the penetration process, the first column 321 deforms and expands outward due to the first through groove 323, until the buckle 212 moves to the axial end of the first column 321. The first column 321 then returns to its original state, and the first column 321 connects to the cover 325, specifically through the first external thread and the first internal thread. Thus, the radial outer surface of the first column 321 abuts against the radial inner surface of the cover 325, and the deformation of the radial outer surface of the first column 321 is restricted by the cover 325, preventing the first column 321 from expanding outward. This causes the axial direction of the buckle 212 to be abutted by the axial inner surface of the cover 325 and the axial plane of the first column 321, thereby restricting the axial movement of the buckle 212. The headlight sheet metal part 1 has a second through hole 11 on the axial projection surface where the first and second limiting mechanisms are located, avoiding interference with the first and second limiting mechanisms. This connection method facilitates assembly, and during subsequent disassembly, the restriction of the buckle by the first column 321 is released, allowing the mounting bracket 3 and the lamp housing 2 to be separated, facilitating disassembly for replacing the headlight and enabling easy replacement on other vehicles, thus enhancing the interchangeability of the assembly structure.

[0036] The buckle 212 is spherical. The diameter of the buckle 212 is larger than the inner diameter of the first column 321, so that when the buckle 212 is in a restricted state, the axial end face of the first column 321 abuts against the buckle, thereby achieving the effect of limiting the position.

[0037] The connecting post 211 is provided with one or more reinforcing ribs 213. The reinforcing ribs 213 are connected to the lamp housing 2, thereby enhancing the connection stability of the connecting post 211.

[0038] The first connecting portion 324 includes a first external thread disposed on the radially outer surface of the first column 321; the second connecting portion includes a first internal thread disposed on the radially inner surface of the cover 325 and threadedly connected to the first external thread 321. The connection between the first external thread and the first internal thread causes the radially inner surface of the cover 325 to abut against the radially outer surface of the first column 321, thereby restricting the outward expansion of the first column and confining the buckle by the first column.

[0039] The first limiting mechanism 32 and the second limiting mechanism 21 are arranged in groups, and one or more groups are provided. In this technical solution, two groups are symmetrically arranged along the extension direction of the mounting bracket;

[0040] The body sheet metal part 21, lamp housing 2, and mounting bracket 3 are each provided with one or more screw holes 4 that can be connected by screws. In this technical solution, a single component has 6 screw holes arranged around the edge;

[0041] The surface of the cover 325 is continuously provided with multiple grooves 326 and protrusions 327 for easy twisting.

[0042] This technical solution is particularly suitable for taillight installation. By adding mounting bracket 3 and modifying the taillight housing structure, the ease of assembly and interchangeability of the vehicle taillights are increased. Before installation, mounting bracket 3 is first assembled onto the body sheet metal part 1 using screws. Because mounting bracket 3 is lightweight and occupies very little space, installation is relatively convenient. After mounting bracket 3 is installed, the taillight can be assembled onto it. The taillight is secured to the first post by the clip, preventing it from becoming loose. Then, bolts are used to tighten mounting bracket 3 and the lamp housing, completing the installation.
