For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] As car styling evolves, the location and form of the tailgate seam vary. In this case, the tailgate seam is located in the middle of the fixed side rear combination light. When the tailgate is opened, a large area of ​​the rear combination light body is exposed. To ensure aesthetics and reduce the entry of foreign objects, a large protective panel is needed to cover it.

[0034] To address the related technical problems, this application provides a vehicle including rear combination lights; please refer to the details below. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the rear combination lamp connected to sheet metal provided in this application.

[0035] One end of the rear combination light 10 can be connected to the sheet metal at the rear of the vehicle and adjacent to the tailgate. When the tailgate is opened, part of the rear combination light 10 will be exposed in the field of vision. The rear combination light 10 has a protective plate for covering. The protective plate can cover the rear combination light 10, improve the aesthetics, and reduce the entry of foreign objects.

[0036] However, when the tailgate is opened, the upper and side of the rear combination light 10 are exposed, resulting in a large exposed area. Usually, a large protective plate is used to cover it. The large area of ​​the protective plate makes it difficult to form, causing it to be prone to warping, which reduces the matching degree with the sheet metal. In addition, the large protective plate also poses a significant challenge to installation.

[0037] To address the related technical problems, this application also provides a rear combination lamp 10, for details please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a first disassembled structure of one embodiment of the rear combination lamp. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a second disassembled structure of one embodiment of the rear combination lamp.

[0038] The rear combination light 10 includes an arc-shaped mask 100, a housing 200, and a protective plate assembly 300. The housing 200 includes a first side plate 210 and a second side plate 220 that are bent and connected. The first side plate 210 has a first connecting edge 211, and the second side plate 220 has a second connecting edge 221. One end of the first connecting edge 211 is connected to one end of the second connecting edge 221. The first connecting edge 211 is arc-shaped and extends away from the second side plate 220. The second connecting edge 221 extends away from the first side plate 210. The arc-shaped mask 100 is connected to the first connecting edge 211 and the second connecting edge 221 respectively. The guard plate assembly 300 includes a first side guard plate 310, a second side guard plate 320, and a connecting structure 400. The first side guard plate 310 is connected to the side of the first side plate 210 away from the arc-shaped mask 100, and the second side guard plate 320 is connected to the side of the second side plate 220 away from the arc-shaped mask 100. The first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are detachably connected by the connecting structure 400.

[0039] The housing 200 includes a first side plate 210, a second side plate 220, and a third side plate that are bent and connected. The third side plate is disposed opposite to the sheet metal so that the rear combination lamp 10 can be fixed to the sheet metal via the third side plate. The first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 are both intersecting with the third side plate. For example, one end of the first side plate 210 is connected to the upper end of the third side plate, and the other end of the first side plate 210 extends away from the sheet metal. The two adjacent ends of the second side plate 220 are respectively connected to the first side plate 210 and the third side plate, so that the second side plate 220 is adjacent to the first side plate 210 and the third side plate and intersects with each other. The ends of the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 away from the third side plate both extend away from the third side plate. The connection between the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 is bent. The first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 are respectively provided with a first connecting edge 211 and a second connecting edge 221 at the ends away from the sheet metal. The first connecting edge 211 and the second connecting edge 221 are bent and connected. The first connecting edge 211 extends away from the second side plate 220 and extends in an arc shape. The second connecting edge 221 extends away from the first side plate 210. The arc-shaped mask 100 is adapted to be connected to the first connecting edge 211 and the second connecting edge 221 of the housing 200. The arc-shaped mask 100 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​structure along its circumference on the side near the housing 200. The first connecting edge 211 and the second connecting edge 221 may be provided with snap-fit ​​grooves corresponding to the snap-fit ​​structure so that the arc-shaped mask 100 can be connected to the first connecting edge 211 and the second connecting edge 221. The first side plate 210, the second side plate 220 and the third side plate intersect to form an open receiving cavity. The opening of the receiving cavity faces the arc-shaped mask 100. The first connecting edge 211 and the second connecting edge 221 of the arc-shaped mask 100 and the housing 200 seal the opening so that components such as lamps and circuit boards can be installed inside the receiving cavity.

[0040] The protective panel assembly 300 includes a first side protective panel 310 and a second side protective panel 320. The first side protective panel 310 is connected to the side of the first side panel 210 opposite to the arc-shaped face mask 100, and the second side protective panel 320 is connected to the side of the second side panel 220 opposite to the arc-shaped face mask 100, such that the first side protective panel 310, the second side protective panel 320, and the arc-shaped face mask 100 are arranged adjacent to each other and cover the housing 200 in different directions. Further, the adjacent ends of the first side protective panel 310, the second side protective panel 320, and the arc-shaped face mask 100 are matched. For example, the edge of the second side guard plate 320 near the curved face mask 100 extends in the same direction as the second connecting edge 221 and can overlap the second connecting edge 221. The edge of the first side guard plate 310 near the curved face mask 100 has an arc edge that matches the first connecting edge 211 and can overlap the first connecting edge 211. The end of the first side guard plate 310 near the second side guard plate 320 covers the corresponding end of the second side guard plate 320 and the first side guard plate 310, thereby effectively reducing the entry of foreign objects into the rear combination lamp 10. In addition, the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are detachably connected by the connecting structure 400. The connecting structure 400 can be connected to the side of the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 near the housing 200, and near the adjacent ends of the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320, thereby hiding the connecting structure 400 inside the guard plate assembly 300 and realizing a detachable connection between the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320. Compared with connecting the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 by a single piece of guard plate, dividing the single piece of guard plate into the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 allows for better molding. The smaller guard plate deforms less during molding, thus better matching the housing 200, and also better matching the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320.

[0041] In the above-described embodiments, the first side guard plate 310, the second side guard plate 320, and the arc-shaped mask 100 are adjacent to each other. The arc-shaped mask 100 is connected to the end of the housing 200. The first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 of the housing 200 are connected to the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 respectively. The first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are detachably connected through the connecting structure 400, which can both cover the housing 200, reduce warping, and reduce installation difficulty.

[0042] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The enlarged structural diagram of the rear combination light at point A (dashed box) is shown.

[0043] In some embodiments, the connection structure 400 includes a snap-fit ​​seat 410 and a snap fastener 420. One of the snap fastener 420 and the snap-fit ​​seat 410 is disposed on the first side guard plate 310, and the other is disposed on the second side guard plate 320. The snap-fit ​​seat 410 has a snap-fit ​​interface 411 for engaging with the snap fastener 420 to restrict the separation of the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320. The snap-fit ​​seat 410 may be disposed on the second side guard plate 320, and the snap fastener 420 may be disposed on the first side guard plate 310; this will be used as an example in the following description. The snap-fit ​​seat 410 has a snap-fit ​​interface 411 for engaging with the snap fastener 420. The snap-fit ​​interface 411 extends through the two opposite surfaces of the snap-fit ​​seat 410, and the snap fastener 420 passes through the snap-fit ​​interface 411 to engage with the snap-fit ​​seat 410. Specifically, the latch 420 extends from the first side guard plate 310 to the latching seat 410, with the latching seat 410 perpendicular to the latch 420. The latch 420 may include a latching body and a limiting post. The latching body has an installation port penetrating both surfaces of the latching body. The limiting post is connected to an inner side of the installation port near the latching seat 410. One side of the limiting post protrudes from the installation port onto one side of the latching body, so that after the latch 420 drives the limiting post through the latching interface 411, the limiting post can fall onto the side of the latching seat 410 away from the first side guard plate 310. Thus, the cooperation between the limiting post and the latching seat 410 can restrict the separation of the first side guard plate 310 from the second side guard plate 320. In addition, the thickness of the limiting post can be greater than the thickness of the latching body. One side of the limiting post protrudes from one side of the latching body, while the opposite side is flush with the other side of the latching body. This can increase the radial dimension of the limiting post, improve the resistance when the latch 420 is engaged, and also improve the structural strength of the limiting post. The snap-fit ​​base 410 may further include a support plate 312. One end of the support plate 312 is connected to the side of the snap-fit ​​base 410 away from the snap fastener 420, and the other adjacent end of the support plate 312 is connected to the second side guard plate 320. This allows the support plate 312 to be supported between the second side guard plate 320 and the snap-fit ​​base 410, thereby improving the structural strength of the snap-fit ​​base 410 and providing a more stable connection to the second side guard plate 320. Of course, in some other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​base 410 may also be disposed on the first side guard plate 310, and the snap fastener 420 may be disposed on the second side guard plate 320. The specific arrangement can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0044] In some embodiments, the latching seat 410 includes a protrusion 412, one end of which is disposed on the side of the latching seat 410 near the latch 420. The protrusion 412 extends toward the latch 420, and the other end of the extending direction abuts against a corresponding portion of the guard plate assembly 300. Taking the snap-fit ​​seat 410 disposed on the second side guard plate 320 as an example, the snap-fit ​​seat 410 also includes a protruding plate 412. One end of the protruding plate 412 is disposed at the end of the snap-fit ​​seat 410 near the buckle 420, and the other end of the protruding plate 412 extends toward the first side guard plate 310 and protrudes from the end of the second side guard plate 320. After the buckle 420 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​seat 410, the protruding plate 412 can abut against the first side guard plate 310. Thus, the protruding plate 412 can limit the buckle 420 from being snapped into the snap-fit ​​interface 411 too deeply, while the limiting post can limit the buckle 420 from separating from the snap-fit ​​seat 410. The limiting post and the protruding plate 412 cooperate to reduce the shaking between the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320. The number of protrusions 412 can be multiple, and the multiple protrusions 412 can be arranged around the circumference of the snap-fit ​​base 410. The ends of the multiple protrusions 412 away from the snap-fit ​​base 410 are on the same plane, so that the multiple protrusions 412 together abut against the first side guard plate 310, further reducing the shaking between the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320.

[0045] In some embodiments, there are multiple connecting structures 400, which are spaced apart along the adjacent sides of the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320. The ends of the protrusions 412 of the multiple connecting structures 400 away from the locking seat 410 are on the same plane. The protrusions 412 of the multiple connecting structures 400 all abut against the second side guard plate 320 to collectively reduce the shaking between the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320. In addition, the fact that the ends of the protrusions 412 of the multiple connecting structures 400 away from the locking seat 410 are on the same plane allows for an equal gap between the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320, improving the aesthetics of the connection between the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320. It also reduces the risk of foreign objects easily entering due to the gradually increasing gap between the adjacent sides of the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320. Furthermore, the gap formed between the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 by the protruding plate 412 facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are connected to the housing 200 via a snap-fit ​​assembly. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​seat 410 and a snap fastener 420. The snap-fit ​​seat 410 may be disposed on the housing 200, and the snap fastener 420 may be disposed on the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320. A plurality of snap-fit ​​seats 410 may be disposed at the end of the first side guard plate 210 near the first connecting edge 211 and at the end of the second side guard plate 220 near the second connecting edge 221, respectively. A plurality of snap fasteners 420 may be disposed at the end of the first side guard plate 310 near the first connecting edge 211 and at the end of the second side guard plate 320 near the second connecting edge 221, respectively. The plurality of snap-fit ​​seats 410 are disposed on the side of the first side guard plate 210 and the second side guard plate 220 near the guard plate assembly 300, and the snap fasteners 420 are disposed on the side of the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 near the housing 200. The snap-fit ​​base 410 is provided with a snap-fit ​​interface 411 for snapping with the snap fastener 420. The snap-fit ​​assembly also includes multiple protrusions 412. Both the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 are provided with multiple protrusions 412. The multiple protrusions 412 on the first side plate 210 can be arranged along the extension direction of the first connecting edge 211 and protrude from the first connecting edge 211 toward the first side guard plate 310. The multiple protrusions 412 on the second side plate 220 are arranged along the extension direction of the second connecting edge 221 and protrude from the second connecting edge 221 toward the second side guard plate 320. When the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are snapped with the housing 200 through the snap-fit ​​base 410 and the snap fastener 420, the multiple protrusions 412 can respectively abut against the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 to cooperate with the snap-fit ​​base 410 and the snap fastener 420 to reduce the shaking between the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320.

[0047] In some embodiments, both the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are connected to the housing 200 via a positioning and fixing structure 500. The positioning and fixing structure 500 includes a positioning post 510 and a snap-fit ​​member 520. One of the positioning post 510 and the snap-fit ​​member 520 is disposed on the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320, and the other is disposed on the housing 200. The first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are positioned with the housing 200 by the snap-fit ​​between the positioning post 510 and the snap-fit ​​member 520. The positioning and fixing structure 500 includes a positioning post 510 and a snap-fit ​​member 520. Both the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are provided with one of the positioning post 510 and the snap-fit ​​member 520, and the other of the positioning post 510 and the snap-fit ​​member 520 is disposed on the housing 200. For example, both the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are provided with snap-fit ​​members 520, and both the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 are provided with positioning posts 510 that snap into the corresponding snap-fit ​​members 520. The first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are positioned with the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 respectively by the snap-fit ​​members 520 and the positioning posts 510. Thus, the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 can be positioned with the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 respectively by the positioning and fixing structure 500, and then connected with the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 by the connecting structure 400, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the guard plate assembly 300 and the housing 200.

[0048] It should be noted that the positioning and fixing structure 500 can be disposed on the first side guard plate 310, the second side guard plate 320, the first side plate 210, and the second side plate 220 in one or more ways. That is, the snap-fit ​​member 520 can be disposed on the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320, and the positioning post 510 can be disposed on the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220; or, the positioning post 510 can be disposed on the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320, and the snap-fit ​​member 520 can be disposed on the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220. On the two side plates 220; or when multiple positioning and fixing structures 500 are provided, some snap-fit ​​parts 520 can be provided on the first side plate 310 and the second side plate 320, and the positioning post 510 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​parts 520 can be provided on the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220, and another part of snap-fit ​​parts 520 can be provided on the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220, and the positioning post 510 corresponding to the other part of snap-fit ​​parts 520 can be provided on the first side plate 310 and the second side plate 320.

[0049] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 3 The enlarged structural diagram of the rear combination lights at point B (dashed box) is shown.

[0050] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​member 520 includes two snap-fit ​​strips 521, which are spaced apart. The ends of the two snap-fit ​​strips 521 away from the housing 200 are arc-shaped, forming arc-shaped openings 523 at the ends of the snap-fit ​​strips 521. Each of the two snap-fit ​​strips 521 has a half-hole on an adjacent side, forming a positioning hole 522 that mates with the positioning post 510. The snap-fit ​​member 520 includes two snap-fit ​​strips 521, which are spaced apart. Each of the two snap-fit ​​strips 521 has a half-hole on an adjacent side. The half-holes of the two snap-fit ​​strips 521 are arranged opposite each other to form the positioning hole 522. The positioning post 510 extends from the ends of the two snap-fit ​​strips 521 and snaps into the positioning hole 522, thereby confining the positioning post 510 within the positioning hole 522. This serves to position the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 relative to the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220, respectively. The first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 can move along the axis of the positioning post 510, and the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 can also rotate arbitrarily with the positioning post 510 as a fulcrum. Therefore, by moving and rotating, the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 can be moved to a position opposite to the housing 200, facilitating installation. Furthermore, the ends of the two snap-fit ​​strips 521 are provided with opposing arc edges, which extend arcuately away from the other snap-fit ​​strip 521, allowing the ends of the two snap-fit ​​strips 521 to fit together to form an arcuate opening 523, making it easier for the positioning post 510 to extend into the snap-fit ​​member 520, thus facilitating installation. Furthermore, the two snap-fit ​​strips 521 can be perpendicular to the positioning post 510. The positioning post 510 can be snapped between the two snap-fit ​​strips 521 in a direction perpendicular to the positioning post 510. After the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are initially positioned by the positioning post 510 and the snap-fit ​​strips 520, the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 can slide in their axial direction through the positioning post 510, and can also rotate in the positioning hole 522 through the positioning post 510, thereby driving the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 to rotate, so that the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 can be fixedly connected to the housing 200 after rotating to a suitable position.

[0051] In some embodiments, the positioning and fixing structure 500 further includes a connecting post 530, a connecting hole 540, and a screw (not shown). The connecting hole 540 is disposed on the snap-fit ​​member 520 and spaced apart from the two snap-fit ​​strips 521. The connecting post 530 is disposed on the housing 200, and the center line of the connecting hole 540 is in the same direction as the center line of the positioning hole 522. The first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are fixedly connected to the housing 200 by screws, the connecting hole 540, and the connecting post 530. The connecting hole 540 is disposed on the snap-fit ​​member 520 and spaced apart from the two snap-fit ​​members 520. The connecting post 530 is disposed on the housing 200, and the center line of the connecting hole 540 is in the same direction as the center line of the positioning hole 522. The screw passes through the connecting hole 540 and is also fixed in the connecting post 530 to fix the snap-fit ​​member 520 to the connecting post 530 by screws. Therefore, the snap-fit ​​component 520 is provided with a positioning hole 522 and a connecting hole 540 spaced apart. After the positioning hole 522 is positioned with the positioning post 510, the connecting hole 540 and the connecting post 530 are fixed, so that the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are fixedly connected with the first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 respectively, which makes it easier to install the guard plate assembly 300 and the housing 200.

[0052] See Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of one embodiment of the rear combination lamp.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first side guard plate 310 and the first side plate 210, as well as the second side guard plate 320 and the second side plate 220, are connected by at least two positioning and fixing structures 500. The at least two positioning and fixing structures 500 corresponding to the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are spaced apart in the center line direction of the positioning hole 522. The first side guard plate 310 is connected to the first side plate 210 via at least two positioning and fixing structures 500, and the second side guard plate 320 is connected to the second side plate 220 via at least two positioning and fixing structures 500. The at least two positioning and fixing structures 500 corresponding to the first and second side guard plates 310 and 320 are spaced apart along the centerline of the positioning hole 522, so that at least two snap-fit ​​pieces 520 of the at least two positioning and fixing structures 500 are also spaced apart along the centerline of the positioning hole 522. This restricts the first and second side guard plates 310 and 320 to the centerline of the positioning hole 522, allowing them to rotate only around the centerline of the positioning hole 522 and translate along the centerline, further limiting the positioning of the first and second side guard plates 310 and 320. Thus, during rotation and translation, the connecting hole 540 is aligned with the connecting post 530, facilitating the installation of the first and second side guard plates 310 and 320.

[0054] See Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the first side guard plate is shown.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first side guard plate 310 includes a main plate 311, a support plate 312, and a flexible matching member 313. The main plate 311 is connected to the housing 200 and the second side guard plate 320. One end of the support plate 312 is connected to the end of the main plate 311 away from the second side guard plate 320 and the arc-shaped mask 100. The other end of the support plate 312 extends away from the housing 200 and is connected to the flexible matching member 313. The end of the flexible matching member 313 away from the support plate 312 is matched and connected to the sheet metal of the vehicle. The first side guard plate 310 includes a main plate 311, a support plate 312, and a flexible matching member 313. Both ends of the support plate 312 are connected to the main plate 311 and the flexible matching member 313, respectively. The end of the support plate 312 away from the main plate 311 extends away from the housing 200, and the end of the support plate 312 away from the main plate 311 is spaced apart from the sheet metal of the vehicle. The flexible matching member 313 matches and connects the support plate 312 to the sheet metal at the spaced-apart position. Therefore, by connecting the flexible matching component 313 to the sheet metal, the risk of foreign objects entering due to gaps between the rear combination lamp 10 and the sheet metal can be reduced during vehicle operation. The flexible matching component 313 and the main body plate 311 are connected by a support plate 312, which reduces the size of the flexible matching component 313 and increases its structural strength, allowing it to fit the sheet metal more closely. In this embodiment, the main body plate 311, support plate 312, and second side guard plate 320 of the first side guard plate 310 can be engineering plastic alloys, such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer / polycarbonate blend, and the flexible matching component 313 can be a thermoplastic elastomer.

[0056] In some embodiments, the housing 200 may further include a side connecting plate. The second side guard plate 320 includes a side guard plate and a main side guard plate. The main side guard plate is correspondingly connected to the second side guard plate 220, and the side guard plate is connected to the end of the main side guard plate away from the arc-shaped mask 100. One end of the side connecting plate is connected to the end of the second side plate 220 away from the arc-shaped mask 100 and is correspondingly disposed with the sheet metal. The side guard plate and the side connecting plate are disposed opposite to each other. The side connecting plate is provided with screw holes, and the side guard plate is provided with studs. The studs are also provided with screw holes, so that the side connecting part, the side guard plate and the sheet metal can be fixedly connected by studs, screw holes and screws. Thus, the housing 200 is also connected to the sheet metal through the side connecting part, thereby increasing the number of connection points with the sheet metal. The side guard plate is connected to the side connecting plate through studs to cover the side connecting part and protect it. The side guard plate may also be provided with a cover plate, which covers the end of the stud away from the screw hole of the side connecting part, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0057] In summary, the first side guard plate 310, the second side guard plate 320, and the arc-shaped mask 100 are adjacent to each other. The arc-shaped mask 100 is connected to the end of the housing 200. The first side plate 210 and the second side plate 220 of the housing 200 are connected to the first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 respectively. The first side guard plate 310 and the second side guard plate 320 are detachably connected through the connecting structure 400, which can both cover the housing 200, reduce warping, and reduce the difficulty of installation.
