Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of automotive lighting technology, specifically relating to an ambient lighting component and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Some ambient lights in related technologies have relatively large length dimensions, which makes them prone to problems with large tolerances due to the injection molding process; in addition, the different materials of the bracket and light guide can cause deformation under different temperatures and humidity, which can easily lead to problems such as assembly difficulties and abnormal noises. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an ambient lighting component and vehicle that can at least solve problems such as the difficulty in assembly caused by large tolerances in ambient lighting.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:
[0005] This application provides an ambient light assembly, including: a lamp head, a light guide, a light guide bracket, and an adjustment bracket;
[0006] The light guide is disposed in the light guide bracket, and both ends of the light guide are respectively connected to the lamp head;
[0007] The adjustment bracket is connected between at least one end of the light guide bracket and the lamp head, and the adjustment bracket and the light guide bracket are movable relative to each other in the extension direction of the light guide.
[0008] This application also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned ambient lighting assembly.
[0009] In this embodiment, a light guide bracket can be used to install the light guide, and a lamp head can emit light to both ends of the light guide to make it emit light. At least one end of the light guide bracket can be connected to the lamp head via an adjusting bracket, and the adjusting bracket and the light guide bracket can move relative to each other in the extension direction of the light guide. This allows the relative distance between at least one end of the light guide bracket and the lamp head to be changed. Based on this configuration, even if the light guide bracket has large tolerances or the deformation of the light guide bracket and the light guide differs, the relative position between at least one end of the light guide bracket and the lamp head can be adaptively adjusted by moving the light guide bracket relative to the adjusting bracket. This ensures that the light guide bracket can be smoothly installed between the two lamp heads, and that the relative distance between the light guide bracket and the lamp head can be adaptively adjusted to prevent assembly difficulties, abnormal noises, and other problems during installation.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0025] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples and application scenarios.
[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 7 This application discloses an ambient light assembly, which includes a lamp head 10, a light guide 20, a light guide bracket 30, and an adjustment bracket 40.
[0027] The light guide bracket 30 is a basic component that provides a support base for the light guide 20, lamp holder 10, adjustment bracket 40, etc. In some embodiments, the light guide 20 is disposed in the light guide bracket 30, and both ends of the light guide 20 are connected to the lamp holder 10 respectively. In this way, the light guide 20 can be installed through the light guide bracket 30 to ensure the stability of the light guide 20. Furthermore, the lamp holders 10 at both ends can emit light to the two ends of the light guide 20 respectively, so that the light guide 20 can emit light.
[0028] Optionally, the light guide bracket 30 can be an elongated structure, which may have a channel or groove for mounting the light guide 20. For example, when the light guide bracket 30 has a channel, the light guide 20 can be inserted through the channel. In this case, the light guide bracket 30 can be made of a transparent material to ensure that the light guide 20 can emit light outwards. When the light guide bracket 30 has a groove, the light guide 20 can be embedded in the groove. In this case, the light guide 20 can emit light outwards through the opening of the groove.
[0029] An adjusting bracket 40 is connected between at least one end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10. This ensures the reliability and stability of the connection between at least one end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10. Furthermore, the adjusting bracket 40 and the light guide bracket 30 can move relative to each other along the extension direction of the light guide 20. This allows for adjustment of their relative positions, facilitating the installation of the light guide bracket 30. It should be noted that while the relative position between the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 is adjustable, the light guide 20 and the lamp head 10 are fixed together by a snap-fit mechanism, making their relative positions non-adjustable. This ensures that the lamp head 10 can normally emit light into the light guide 20, thus unaffecting the normal light emission of the light guide 20.
[0030] In some embodiments, one end of the light guide bracket 30 can be connected to the lamp head 10 to ensure the stability between the one end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10, and to ensure that the lamp head 10 can emit light to the light guide 20 at that end. Optionally, the connection between one end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 can be fixed, such as by welding or bonding, or it can be detachable, such as by snap-fit, plug-in, or hook-fit. The adjustment bracket 40 can be connected between the other end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 to adjust the relative position between the other end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10.
[0031] Of course, in other embodiments, the adjustment bracket 40 can also be connected between the two ends of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 respectively, so as to adjust the relative position between the two ends of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 at both ends by adjusting the adjustment bracket 40 at both ends respectively.
[0032] In this embodiment, the light guide 20 can be installed using the light guide bracket 30, and the lamp head 10 can emit light to both ends of the light guide 20 to make the light guide 20 emit light. At least one end of the light guide bracket 30 can be connected to the lamp head 10 via an adjusting bracket 40, and the adjusting bracket 40 and the light guide bracket 30 can move relative to each other in the extension direction of the light guide 20. In this way, the relative distance between at least one end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 can be changed.
[0033] Based on this configuration, even if the light guide bracket 30 has a large tolerance or the deformation of the light guide bracket 30 and the light guide 20 are different, the relative position between the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 can be adaptively adjusted by moving the light guide bracket 30 relative to the adjusting bracket 40. This ensures that the light guide bracket 30 can be smoothly installed between the two lamp heads 10, and the relative distance between the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 can be adaptively adjusted to prevent problems such as assembly difficulties and abnormal noises during installation.
[0034] refer to Figure 2 ,and Figure 4 In some embodiments, one of the adjustment bracket 40 and the light guide bracket 30 may be provided with a locking hole 40a, and the other may be provided with a first locking protrusion 31. The first locking protrusion 31 engages with the locking hole 40a, and the first locking protrusion 31 is movable within the locking hole 40a along the extension direction of the light guide 20.
[0035] Based on the above configuration, the engagement of the first protrusion 31 with the slot 40a ensures a stable connection between the adjustment bracket 40 and at least one end of the light guide bracket 30, preventing them from separating. At the same time, the relative position between the adjustment bracket 40 and the light guide bracket 30 can be changed by moving the first protrusion 31 along the extension direction within the slot 40a. This facilitates adjusting the relative position between the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10, preventing situations where the distance between the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 is too large, resulting in unstable installation of the light guide bracket 30, or too small, resulting in inconvenient installation or abnormal noise.
[0036] In other embodiments, one of the adjustment bracket 40 and the light guide bracket 30 may be provided with a slot, and the other may be provided with a first locking protrusion 31. The first locking protrusion 31 engages with the slot, and the first locking protrusion 31 is movable within the slot along the extending direction of the light guide 20.
[0037] Based on the above settings, the engagement between the first protrusion 31 and the slot ensures a stable connection between the adjustment bracket 40 and at least one end of the light guide bracket 30, preventing them from separating. At the same time, the relative position between the adjustment bracket 40 and the light guide bracket 30 can be changed by moving the first protrusion 31 along the extension direction within the slot, so as to adjust the relative position between the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10. This prevents the light guide bracket 30 from being installed too stably due to an excessively large distance between it and the lamp head 10, or from being installed too inconveniently or making abnormal noises due to an excessively small distance.
[0038] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the adjustment bracket 40 may include a pressure plate 41, a first side circumference 42, and a second side circumference 43. The first side circumference 42 and the second side circumference 43 are respectively disposed at both ends of the pressure plate 41, and the first side circumference 42, the second side circumference 43, and the pressure plate 41 can together form a concave cavity, and the other end of the light guide bracket 30 can be disposed in the concave cavity.
[0039] Based on the above configuration, the first side panel 42 and the second side panel 43 can respectively limit the opposite sides of the light guide bracket 30, thereby preventing the light guide bracket 30 from interfering with the setting direction of the adjustment bracket 40 in the first side panel 42 and the second side panel 43 (e.g., Figure 3The light guide bracket 30 and the adjustment bracket 40 can move relative to each other in the direction of the vertical screen (either inward or outward) to ensure the installation stability of the light guide bracket 30 and the adjustment bracket 40 in that direction. Furthermore, the pressure plate 41 can also limit the movement of the light guide bracket 30 to prevent it from moving relative to the adjustment bracket 40 in the other direction (e.g., inward or outward). Figure 3 The relative movement of the light guide bracket 30 and the adjustment bracket 40 in the vertical direction ensures the installation stability of the light guide bracket 30 and the adjustment bracket 40 in the other direction.
[0040] Furthermore, both the first side panel 42 and the second side panel 43 can be provided with a locking hole 40a or a locking slot, and the size of the locking hole 40a or the locking slot can be larger than the size of the first locking protrusion 31 along the extension direction of the light guide 20. Based on this, the stability of the installation of the light guide bracket 30 and the adjustment bracket 40 can be ensured, and the light guide bracket 30 and the adjustment bracket 40 can be moved relative to each other in the extension direction of the light guide 20 to adjust the relative position between the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10, which facilitates the installation of the light guide bracket 30.
[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first sidewall 42 and the second sidewall 43 may each be provided with a locking hole 40a, which penetrates the first sidewall 42 and the second sidewall 43 respectively along the setting direction of the first sidewall 42 and the second sidewall 43. Based on this, the first locking protrusions 31 on opposite sides of the light guide bracket 30 can protrude through the locking holes 40a provided on the first sidewall 42 and the second sidewall 43 respectively, thereby achieving stable locking and facilitating the application of force to the first locking protrusions 31 for easy unlocking.
[0042] In other embodiments, the first side panel 42 and the second side panel 43 may each be provided with a slot, and the slot openings of the two slots are arranged facing each other, that is, both slots are opened towards the pressure plate 41. Based on this, the first protrusions 31 on opposite sides of the light guide bracket 30 can be respectively inserted into the slots of the first side panel 42 and the second side panel 43, so that the first protrusions 31 can be hidden inside the adjustment bracket 40, which can improve the appearance of the ambient light assembly to a certain extent.
[0043] When it is necessary to release the card, the first side 42 and the second side 43 can be applied to each other to make the first side 42 and the second side 43 elastically deform so that the first card protrusion 31 disengages from the card hole 40a or the card groove.
[0044] refer to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the ambient light assembly may further include a mounting bracket 50, which is detachably mounted on the lamp head 10 at each end of the light guide 20. Optionally, the mounting bracket 50 and the lamp head 10 may be connected by snap-fit, plug-in, or other means to facilitate assembly and disassembly.
[0045] An adjusting bracket 40 is located at the other end of the fixed bracket 50 of the light guide bracket 30, and the adjusting bracket 40 is positioned away from the lamp head 10. In this way, the other end of the light guide bracket 30 can be connected to the fixed bracket 50 through the adjusting bracket 40, and then connected to the corresponding lamp head 10 through the fixed bracket 50. This ensures the installation stability of the other end of the light guide bracket 30, and the distance between the other end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10 can be adjusted by the relative movement of the adjusting bracket 40 and the light guide bracket 30, so as to facilitate the installation of the light guide bracket 30.
[0046] Of course, one end of the light guide bracket 30 can be connected to the fixed bracket 50, such as a fixed connection or a detachable connection, to ensure the installation stability between one end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10. Optionally, one end of the light guide bracket 30 and the fixed bracket 50 can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, or other methods, or detachably connected by snap-fit, plug-in, hook-fit, or other methods.
[0047] In some embodiments, the adjusting bracket 40 and the fixed bracket 50 can be integrally formed, such as by integral injection molding. In this case, the overall strength of the adjusting bracket 40 and the fixed bracket 50 can be guaranteed, and the manufacturing efficiency can be improved and the manufacturing cycle can be shortened.
[0048] In other embodiments, the adjusting bracket 40 and the fixed bracket 50 can be fixedly connected, such as by welding or bonding, to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection between the two.
[0049] In some other embodiments, the adjustment bracket 40 and the fixed bracket 50 can be detachably connected, such as by snap-fit, plug-in, hook-fit, etc. This can ensure the reliability and stability of the connection, and facilitate disassembly and assembly, thereby making it easier to disassemble and assemble the light guide bracket 30.
[0050] Optionally, both the fixed bracket 50 and the adjusting bracket 40 may be provided with an opening structure to prevent obstruction of the lamp head 10 and the light guide 20, and to ensure the connection between the lamp head 10 and the light guide 20.
[0051] refer to Figure 4 In some more specific embodiments, the adjusting bracket 40 and the fixed bracket 50 can be in an L-shape, so that the long side of the L-shape can be connected to the lamp head 10, and the short side of the L-shape can be connected to the other end of the light guide bracket 30.
[0052] To achieve the connection between the fixed bracket 50 and the lamp holder 10, the fixed bracket 50 can be provided with retaining rings 51 at both ends on the side opposite to the adjusting bracket 40. Correspondingly, the lamp holder 10 can be provided with second retaining protrusions 11 on both sides opposite to it. Figures 2 to 5 and Figure 7As shown. Based on this, after installation, the retaining rings 51 are located on opposite sides of the lamp holder 10 and engage with the corresponding second retaining protrusions 11.
[0053] Based on the above settings, the second protrusion 11 and the retaining ring 51 can be used to limit the extension direction of the light guide 20, so as to prevent the fixed bracket 50 from detaching from the lamp head 10, ensuring the stability of the installation between the fixed bracket 50 and the lamp head 10, and making it easy to disassemble and assemble, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the light guide bracket 30.
[0054] Continue to refer to Figures 2 to 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the two ends of the fixed bracket 50 facing away from the adjusting bracket 40 may be provided with latches 52 respectively. Correspondingly, the two opposite sides of the lamp head 10 may be provided with limiting grooves 12 respectively. When the fixed bracket 50 is installed on the lamp head 10, the latches 52 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves 12 respectively.
[0055] Based on the above configuration, the latch 52 and the limiting groove 12 can be inserted and engaged to limit the fixing bracket 50 in both the length and width directions of the lamp head 10, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the fixing bracket 50. The length and width directions of the lamp head 10 and the extension direction of the light guide 20 can be perpendicular to each other.
[0056] In some embodiments, the fixing bracket 50 may also be provided with a limiting part 53 inside. When the fixing bracket 50 is installed to the lamp holder 10, the limiting part 53 can cooperate with the lamp holder 10 to limit the movement, thereby improving the stability of the installation between the fixing bracket 50 and the lamp holder 10. Optionally, the limiting part 53 may be a limiting protrusion protruding from the inner wall of the fixing bracket 50 toward the lamp holder 10. Of course, it may also be in other forms, which are not specifically limited here.
[0057] refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the light guide bracket 30 may include a plurality of fixing parts 32, which are arranged along the extending direction of the light guide bracket 30 on its outer wall. Based on this, the stability of the light guide bracket 30 can be ensured by mounting the plurality of fixing parts 32 to a structure such as a central control panel.
[0058] Based on the above-described ambient lighting component, this application also discloses a vehicle, which includes the above-described ambient lighting component.
[0059] In summary, by providing an adjustment bracket 40 between at least one end of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10, the present application embodiment can absorb the tolerances caused by the manufacturing of the light guide bracket 30, thereby ensuring the ease of installation of the light guide bracket 30 and avoiding assembly difficulties. It can also alleviate the problem of abnormal noise caused by the squeezing of the light guide bracket 30 and the lamp head 10.
[0060] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
