[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a light guide structure for automotive lamps to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A light guide structure for automotive lighting includes a light guide strip and a mounting block. The light guide strip and the mounting block are connected by a connecting mechanism. A cavity is provided on the right side of the inner cavity of the mounting block, and a light bulb is disposed in the cavity. Elongated blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting block. An elongated opening is cut out on one side of each elongated block, and a main drive mechanism is disposed within the elongated opening. A positioning mechanism is disposed on one side of the main drive mechanism, and the positioning mechanisms are connected by a stabilizing mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting block and a connecting port.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a light guide structure for an automotive lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light guide strip 1 and a mounting block 2. The light guide strip 1 and the mounting block 2 are connected by a connecting mechanism 3. A cavity 4 is provided on the right side of the inner cavity of the mounting block 2, and a light bulb 5 is provided in the cavity 4. Long strip blocks 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting block 2. A long strip opening 7 is cut out on one side of the long strip block 6, and a main drive mechanism 8 is provided in the long strip opening 7. A positioning mechanism 9 is provided on one side of the main drive mechanism 8, and the positioning mechanisms 9 are connected by a stabilizing mechanism 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting block 2 and the light guide strip 1 are connected by a component in the connecting mechanism 3. Next, the main drive mechanism 8 is pulled, and the component in the main drive mechanism 8 deforms and engages with the component in the positioning mechanism 9 fixedly connected on one side. When the positioning mechanisms 9 engage, the opposite positioning mechanisms 9 engage again through the stabilizing mechanism 10, thus completing the engagement / plug-in connection between the mounting block 2 and the light guide strip 1.

[0031] Example

[0032] The connecting mechanism 3 includes a connecting block 11 and a connecting port 12. The connecting block 11 is fixedly disposed on the left side of the light guide strip 1, and the connecting port 12 is carved out on the right side of the mounting block 2. The connecting port 12 and the connecting block 11 are structurally matched. The right side of the mounting block 2 is connected to the left side of the light guide strip 1, and the connecting block 11 on it is engaged in the connecting port 12. The engaging method connects the right side of the mounting block 2 with the left side of the light guide strip 1. The connecting block 11 is a hollow rectangular structure, and the connecting port 12 is also a hollow rectangular structure. The connecting port 12 and the connecting block 11 serve as the main connecting structures between the light guide strip 1 and the mounting block 2. After the left side of the light guide strip 1 is aligned with the left side of the mounting block 2, the two rectangular structures engage and align. During alignment, a "click" sound or tactile feedback ensures proper assembly.

[0033] The main drive mechanism 8 includes a return spring 13 and a main drive plate 14. The return spring 13 is symmetrically arranged in the elongated opening 7. The main drive plate 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the return spring 13, and the size of the main drive plate 14 is smaller than the inner cavity size of the elongated opening 7. Pulling the main drive plate 14 transmits the pulling force to the return spring 13, causing the return spring 13 to deform and drive the main drive plate 14 and its components to be adjusted. The connection between the return spring 13 and the main drive plate 14 is fixed, and the main drive plate 14 serves as the starting structure for the return spring 13. The user transmits the pulling force to the return spring 13 through the main drive plate 14, causing the return spring 13 to be stretched and deformed. The deformed return spring 13 drives the main drive plate 14 and its components to be adjusted. The two are a mating structure, which can engage the positioning mechanism 9 and the components in the stabilizing mechanism 10 on one side through adjustment.

[0034] The positioning mechanism 9 includes positioning rods 15 and positioning openings 16. The positioning rods 15 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the main drive plate 14, and the positioning openings 16 are carved into one side of the connecting block 11. The positioning rods 15 and positioning openings 16 are structurally matched. Multiple positioning rods 15 fixedly connected to one side of the main drive plate 14 are driven and inserted into the positioning openings 16 on one side of the connecting block 11. The connection between the positioning rods 15 and the main drive plate 14 is fixed. The positioning rods 15 and the main drive plate 14 are spliced ​​together to form a concave structure, and the elongated opening 7 connects to the connecting block 11. There is an opening between the ports 12. The inner wall size of the opening is larger than the size of the positioning rod 15. The positioning rod 15 is driven by the main drive plate 14 and enters the connecting port 12 through the opening. The connecting block 11 is engaged in the connecting port 12. The positioning rod 15 is engaged in the positioning port 16 dug on one side of the connecting block 11. This arrangement makes the engaging of the connecting block 11 in the connecting port 12 more stable. The size of the positioning rod 15 and the positioning port 16 gradually decreases from large to small. This arrangement allows the positioning rod 15 to be fully inserted into the inner wall of the positioning port 16.

[0035] The stabilizing mechanism 10 includes a stabilizing block 17 and a stabilizing port 18. The stabilizing block 17 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the upper positioning rod 15, and the stabilizing port 18 is carved out at the top of the lower positioning rod 15. The stabilizing port 18 and the stabilizing block 17 are structurally matched. When the positioning rod 15 is inserted into the positioning port 16, the two opposing positioning rods 15 are in contact, and the stabilizing block 17 on them engages into the stabilizing port 18, thus completing the engagement between the mounting block 2 and the light guide strip 1. The connection between the light guide strip 1 and the mounting block 2 is engaged through a single engagement. The two auxiliary engagements, along with the plug-in structure on the engagement components, make the engaged structure more stable, thereby making the main engagement structure more stable.

[0036] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, when this device is in use, the right side of the mounting block 2 is connected to the left side of the light guide strip 1, and the connecting block 11 on it is engaged in the connecting port 12. The engaging method connects the right side of the mounting block 2 to the left side of the light guide strip 1. Next, the main drive plate 14 is pulled, and the main drive plate 14 transmits the pulling force to the return spring 13, causing the return spring 13 to deform and drive the main drive plate 14 and its components to be adjusted. Multiple positioning rods 15 fixedly connected to one side of the main drive plate 14 are driven and inserted into the positioning port 16 provided on one side of the connecting block 11. When the positioning rod 15 is inserted into the positioning port 16, the two opposing positioning rods 15 are in contact, and the stabilizing block 17 on it is engaged into the stabilizing port 18, thus completing the engaging / plugging connection between the mounting block 2 and the light guide strip 1.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
