[0002] Auxiliary lights are an important component of a vehicle's lighting system. They play a crucial role in specific environments. Common auxiliary lights, such as fog lights, emit strong penetrating beams in low-visibility conditions such as fog and rain, allowing drivers to see the road ahead and surrounding vehicles more clearly. They also make it easier for other vehicles to spot the driver, effectively reducing the incidence of traffic accidents.

[0003] The installation of auxiliary lights must comply with regulations and ensure that the fixing structure can withstand vehicle bumps and vibrations to achieve a firm and reliable installation, avoiding safety hazards caused by loosening or falling off.

[0004] However, when traditional auxiliary lights are installed on vehicles, they are constrained by installation conditions. They need to match the mounting position on the vehicle with the bracket holes reserved for the light fixture, and then fix them by drilling holes. This installation method will cause certain damage to the original structure of the vehicle, which will not only affect the integrity and stability of the vehicle, but also leave permanent holes in the vehicle body, causing many inconveniences for subsequent maintenance, modification or vehicle resale value. Therefore, in order to address the above problems, a device that can realize the installation of auxiliary lights on a round tube is proposed. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0035] A device for mounting auxiliary vehicle lights on a circular tube includes a vehicle body 1 and a front bumper circular tube 2. A support assembly 3 is fitted onto the front bumper circular tube 2. The support assembly 3 includes an upper clamp unit 31, a connector assembly 32 inserted into the inner side of the upper clamp unit 31, a lower clamp unit 33 mounted at the lower end of the upper clamp unit 31, and a rubber plug 34 snapped into the inner side of the upper clamp unit 31. The upper clamp unit 31 includes an upper clamp body 311, an insertion hole 312 at the upper end of the upper clamp body 311, a threaded through hole 313 on one side of the upper clamp body 311, a fixing screw 314 screwed into the inner side of the threaded through hole 313, a first toothed groove 315 on the inner side of the upper clamp body 311, and an upper mounting hole 316 on one side of the upper clamp body 311. The connector assembly 32 includes a mounting connector 321. The bottom of the mounting connector 321 is fixedly connected to a post 322. The post 322 has a notch 323 on its outer side. The mounting connector 321 has an assembly hole 324 on its inner side. The assembly hole 324 is provided with a meshing tooth 325. An installation screw 326 is screwed into the inner side of the assembly hole 324. A spring washer 327 is sleeved on the outer side of the installation screw 326. A flat washer 328 is screwed into the outer side of the installation screw 326. The lower clamp unit 33 includes a lower clamp body 331. The lower clamp body 331 has a lower mounting hole 332 on its inner side. A fastening screw 333 is screwed into the inner side of the lower mounting hole 332. The lower clamp body 331 has a second toothed groove 334 on its inner side. The rubber plug 34 includes a rubber block 341. A slot 342 is provided on the outer side of the rubber block 341. A rack 343 is fixedly installed in the slot 342.

[0036] As a further implementation of this solution, the front bumper tube 2 is fixedly connected to the front end of the vehicle body 1 by bolts. An interlocking mounting post 4 is inserted into the support component 3. A shell plate 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the interlocking mounting post 4 away from the support component 3. A spotlight 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the shell plate 5 by screws. The interlocking mounting post 4 is inserted into the support component 3, which can make the connection between the two more stable. The spotlight 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the shell plate 5 by screws. The screw fixing facilitates the installation and removal of the spotlight 6. When the spotlight 6 needs to be replaced, the operation is simple and convenient.

[0037] As a further implementation of this solution, the bottom end of the upper hoop unit 31 is fitted with the upper end of the lower hoop unit 33. Two rubber plugs 34 are provided, symmetrically distributed between the upper hoop unit 31 and the lower hoop unit 33. The insertion hole 312 is hexagonal in shape, and the threaded through hole 313 is interconnected with the insertion hole 312. The insertion post 322 is inserted into the insertion hole 312, with the outer side of the insertion post 322 tightly fitted to the inner side of the insertion hole 312. The bottom end face of the mounting joint 321 is on the same horizontal plane as the upper end face of the upper hoop body 311. The bottom end of the upper hoop unit 31 and the lower hoop unit 33 are fitted together. The design of the upper end of unit 33 can increase the contact area between the two, making the connection tighter. The rubber plug 34 can play a good filling and buffering role, so that the bottom end of the upper clamp unit 31 and the lower clamp unit 33 can be better fastened to the front bumper round tube 2. The insertion hole 312 is hexagonal prism in shape. Compared with round or other shapes, this shape can more effectively prevent the insertion post 322 from rotating or moving in the insertion hole 312 after the insertion post 322 is inserted. The design of the threaded through hole 313 and the insertion hole 312 communicating with each other provides a channel for subsequent fastener installation.

[0038] As a further implementation of this solution, two fixing screws 314 are provided, which are symmetrically distributed. The positions of the fixing screws 314 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the threaded through holes 313. One end of the fixing screw 314 is arc-shaped and abuts against the inner side of the notch 323 of the column body. This symmetrical layout can make the fixing force on the insert 322 more balanced. During the fixing process, it avoids the insertion 322 from tilting or shifting due to uneven force, thereby ensuring that the insertion 322 is always stably in the insertion hole 312, further enhancing the connection reliability between the upper hoop unit 31 and the insertion 322. The arc-shaped setting of one end of the fixing screw 314 can increase the contact area with the notch 323 of the column body, making the contact tighter, while reducing the local pressure on the inner side of the notch 323 of the column body, avoiding damage to the notch 323 of the column body due to the excessive sharpness of the screw end, and playing a role in protecting the component.

[0039] As a further implementation of this solution, the first toothed groove 315 and the second toothed groove 334 have the same shape. The upper mounting hole 316 and the lower mounting hole 332 are interconnected. The fastening screw 333 passes through the lower clamp body 331 and is simultaneously placed in the lower mounting hole 332 and the upper mounting hole 316. The shape of the fastening screw 333 is exactly the same as that of the mounting screw 326. The upper mounting hole 316 and the lower mounting hole 332 are interconnected, so that during assembly, the operator can easily pass the fastening screw 333 through the lower mounting hole 332 and the upper mounting hole 316 to complete the connection operation. The same shape of the fastening screw 333 and the mounting screw 326 brings good versatility. In the production, assembly and maintenance process, the variety of screws can be reduced, and the procurement and management costs can be reduced. When it is necessary to replace the screw, there is no need to distinguish the specific model, which improves the convenience of operation. It also facilitates later maintenance and ensures that a suitable screw can be quickly found for replacement in an emergency, which improves the practicality and economy of the overall structure.

[0040] As a further implementation of this solution, the rubber block 341 has a semi-circular lateral projection. The inner side of the slot 342 fits against the outer side of the upper hoop body 311. The rack 343 meshes with the first toothed groove 315. Multiple arc-shaped protrusions are provided on the side of the rubber block 341 away from the rack 343. The inner side of the slot 342 fits against the outer side of the upper hoop body 311. This close fit not only allows the rubber block 341 to be firmly installed on the upper hoop body 311 and is not easy to shift, but also plays a sealing role, preventing dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the gaps between the components. The semi-circular lateral projection of the rubber block 341 can better fit the contour of the relevant components, making it fit better with the surrounding structure and increasing the contact area. The arc-shaped protrusions can increase the friction between the rubber block 341 and the contacting components, playing a good anti-slip role. During vehicle operation, it can reduce the relative displacement between components and improve the overall structural stability.

[0041] As a further implementation of this solution, the assembly hole 324 has an I-shaped cross-section. A portion of the mounting screw 326 is spirally installed in the engagement mounting post 4. The shape of the engagement teeth 325 matches the end of the engagement mounting post 4 inserted into the mounting connector 321. The spring washer 327 is simultaneously in close contact with both the flat washer 328 and the mounting screw 326. The included angle between the mounting screw 326 and the mounting connector 321 is 90°. This tight engagement prevents the engagement mounting post 4 from slipping during installation. The relative sliding or rotation in the connector 321 ensures the reliability of the connection. The shape of the mounting hole 324 makes the stress distribution more uniform when subjected to external force, which can effectively disperse the load and avoid deformation or damage due to excessive local force. It provides a stable installation space for the components passing through it and enhances the overall structural stability. The spring washer 327 is in close contact with the flat washer 328 and the mounting screw 326 on both sides. The spring washer 327 is elastic and will produce elastic deformation when the mounting screw 326 is tightened, generating a continuous preload on the screw and the connector, effectively preventing the screw from loosening due to vibration.

[0042] Workflow: During installation, first insert the engagement mounting post 4, which is fixedly connected to the shell plate 5, into the assembly hole 324 in the mounting joint 321. Then, pass the mounting screw 326 through the spring washer 327 and the flat washer 328, and use a hex wrench to screw the mounting screw 326 into the assembly hole 324, so that the mounting screw 326 passes out of the mounting joint 321 and enters the assembly hole 324, forming a spiral connection with the assembly hole 324. Then, use screws to... The shell plate 5 is installed onto the spotlight 6. Then, the upper and lower rubber plugs 34 are fitted onto the round tube 2 of the front bumper. The upper clamp unit 31 and the lower clamp unit 33 are snapped onto the rubber plugs 34, so that the rack 343 engages with the corresponding first tooth groove 315 or second tooth groove 334. Using a hex wrench, the fastening screw 333 is screwed into the lower mounting hole 332 from below, and then screwed into the upper mounting hole 316 through the lower mounting hole 332. The upper clamp body 3 is secured by the fastening screw 333. The force exerted by the upper and lower clamping units 31 causes the two rubber plugs 34 positioned between the upper and lower clamping units 31 and 33 to grip the front bumper tube 2 tightly. The arc-shaped protrusions on the contact surfaces of the rubber blocks 341 and the front bumper tube 2 effectively prevent the rubber plugs 34 from rotating and slipping on the front bumper tube 2. At the same time, the meshing relationship between the rack 343 and the corresponding first tooth groove 315 or second tooth groove 334 also ensures that the upper clamping unit 31 and the lower clamping unit 33... Together with the rubber plug 34, they form a fixed whole to serve as a support bracket for the spotlight 6. Finally, the plug 322, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting connector 321, is inserted into the plug hole 312. Then, the fixing screw 314 is screwed into the threaded through hole 313 using a hex wrench, so that one end of the fixing screw 314 abuts against the inside of the notch 323 on the plug hole 312. This can prevent the plug 322 from falling out of the plug hole 312 due to bumps and vibrations when the vehicle is in motion.

[0043] After all installation is complete, power can be supplied to the spotlight 6 to observe whether its lighting angle meets the usage requirements. If the lighting angle is not reasonable, the lighting angle of the spotlight 6 can be adjusted by removing the mounting screw 326 from the interlocking mounting post 4, rotating the spotlight 6 to drive the shell plate 5 and the interlocking mounting post 4 fixedly connected to the shell plate 5 to rotate, changing the relative position of the interlocking mounting post 4 and the interlocking teeth 325, and then screwing the mounting screw 326 into the interlocking mounting post 4 to meet the lighting requirements.
