Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive lighting technology, specifically to a dustproof structure for automotive headlight reflectors. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive lighting technology, car headlights, also known as automotive LED daytime running lights, are the eyes of a car. They not only affect the owner's appearance but are also inseparable from daily driving safety. The cleanliness of the headlight's internal components directly affects its illumination effect and lifespan. Dust accumulation on the reflector surface can lead to light scattering and a decrease in brightness. Currently, to prevent dust from entering the lamp cavity through the reflector cover, automotive headlights typically use simple sealing devices, such as attaching or placing a simple rubber or foam sealing strip above or around the edge of the reflector. This solution usually has many drawbacks. For example, at high temperatures, the sealing strip, which relies on adhesive for fixation, can detach or shift, losing its sealing function. Furthermore, poor adhesion of the sealing strip can result in an incomplete seal, allowing dust to enter the headlight. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dustproof structure for automotive headlight reflectors to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A dustproof structure for a vehicle headlight reflector includes a detachable lamp housing. Detachable side panels are provided on both the left and right sides of the lamp housing. A dustproof mesh is installed on the inner wall of each side panel. A reflector is installed on the upper side of the side panel. A groove is formed on the outer wall of the reflector. A sealing strip is installed within the groove. The sealing strip has a snap-fit ​​structure. One end of the sealing strip near the bottom of the groove is fixed to the groove with adhesive. A snap-fit ​​part is provided at the end where the reflector connects to the sealing strip.

[0006] Through the above technical solution, the detachable side panel allows for convenient and quick cleaning and replacement of the dustproof mesh inside the lampshade. The dustproof mesh filters the air entering the lampshade, blocking dust, debris, and other impurities, preventing them from adhering to the reflector, bulb, and other optical components, thus affecting the lighting effect. The reflector focuses and projects the light from the headlight. A groove is made on the outer wall of the reflector, and a sealing strip is added to form a physical barrier, preventing dust and contaminants from entering through the gap between the reflector and the lampshade housing, thus affecting the lighting effect. The sealing strip is equipped with a snap-fit ​​structure, which makes the sealing strip more secure and prevents it from falling off due to violent shaking. The adhesive makes it easier to fix the sealing strip, forming a strong sealing structure together with the snap-fit ​​structure, making the sealing strip less likely to fall off.

[0007] Preferably, the dustproof net is honeycomb-shaped.

[0008] Through the above technical solutions, the honeycomb design can not only improve the efficiency of dust prevention, but also significantly enhance the physical strength and durability of the dustproof net. This makes the structure of the dustproof net more robust and allows it to be used for a longer period of time while reducing the frequency of maintenance.

[0009] Preferably, the lampshade housing is fitted with a lampshade on top, and the lampshade is fixed to the lower side panel by a fastener.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the lampshade and the side panel are fixed together with bolts to form a tight connection, preventing dust, moisture and other substances from entering the lampshade from this important part. The lampshade, side panel and other components are fixed together to form a complete structure, which increases the durability of the front components of the headlight.

[0011] Preferably, a lamp plate is installed at the bottom of the end away from the lamp cover, and the lamp plate is equipped with vehicle lights.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the lamp cover and the lamp panel form an integrated whole, one above the other. The headlights on the lamp panel illuminate the light by converging the light through the reflector and then projecting it out from the lamp cover.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) By opening grooves on both sides of the reflector, fixing the sealing strip in the grooves with clips, and then using adhesive at the bottom of the sealing strip, a complete sealing structure is formed to prevent dust or moisture from entering from all directions.

[0015] (2) Dustproof nets are provided on both sides of the side plate. The dustproof nets are set in a honeycomb shape, which can have the effects of heat dissipation and dust prevention. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 A dustproof structure for a vehicle headlight reflector includes a detachable lamp housing 1, detachable side plates 3 on the left and right sides of the lamp housing 1, a reflector 11 mounted on the side plates 3, a lamp cover 2 on the top of the lamp housing 1, and a lamp plate 4 at the bottom of the end away from the lamp cover 2. A headlight 5 is mounted on the lamp plate 4. When the vehicle is started, the vehicle supplies power to the lamp plate 4, and the lamp plate 4 supplies power to the headlight 5. The beam of light emitted by the headlight 5 converges on the reflector 11. The presence of the reflector 11 makes the light of the headlight 5 brighter and more penetrating, ensuring driving safety.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 A dustproof structure for a vehicle headlight reflector is disclosed. A groove 10 is formed on the outer wall of the reflector 11, and a sealing strip 6 is installed inside the groove 10. The bottom of the sealing strip 6 is fixed to one end of the lamp housing 1. The sealing strip 6 has a snap-fit ​​structure 7, and the reflector 11 has a snap-fit ​​part 8. Adhesive is provided at the end of the sealing strip 6 near the bottom of the groove 10. When the vehicle is moving, the headlight 5 shakes. The sealing strip 6, installed inside the groove 10 of the reflector 11, is connected to the reflector 11 by snap-fit. Adhesive is also provided at the bottom of the sealing strip 6. This sealing structure forms an integrated structure that not only effectively blocks dust from entering when the vehicle is moving, but also prevents dust from entering the lamp housing 2 and causing a deterioration in the headlight 5's lighting effect due to severe vehicle vibrations.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 A dustproof structure for a vehicle headlight reflector, wherein a dustproof net 9 is installed on the inner wall of the side panel 3. The dustproof net 9 is designed in a honeycomb shape. The design of the dustproof net 9 is another form of protection. When the vehicle is driving, there will be a lot of dust on both sides of the road. The dustproof design is to prevent dust from entering through the heat dissipation holes or fan of the headlight, thereby causing the lighting effect of the headlight 5 to deteriorate.
