Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lighting device technology, specifically to a colorful tunnel effect taillight applied to the rear of a car. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive taillights typically employ a design where the light source mechanism is built into the housing. Common light source mechanisms include flexible light strips. Flexible light strips require multiple fasteners to be fixed to the cavity wall of the housing, making installation relatively cumbersome and requiring improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This application discloses a colorful tunnel effect taillight for use at the rear of a car, including a base shell, a flexible light strip for emitting light, a light-transmitting plate and a reflector, as well as a decorative frame and a bracket. The flexible light strip is at least partially embedded in a groove formed on the bracket. The bracket is fixed inside the frame opening of the decorative frame. A reflector is provided at the frame opening below the bracket and a light-transmitting plate is provided at the frame opening above the bracket. The decorative frame is fixed in the cavity of the base shell.

[0004] This solution improves the taillight structure. During assembly, the flexible light strip is directly fixed to the groove on the bracket. Then, the bracket is connected to the decorative frame, and the reflector, light-transmitting plate and decorative frame are fixed. Finally, the decorative frame is fixed in the bottom cavity, which simplifies the installation steps and facilitates assembly.

[0005] Furthermore, the bracket is frame-shaped with a groove at the end face of the frame opening to facilitate the installation of flexible light strips.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a fixing plate. A fixing plate is provided at the bottom cavity of the frame opening of the decorative frame, and a boss is provided at the inner wall of the frame opening of the decorative frame. The fixing plate and the boss are used to clamp the bracket and reflector in the middle. The fixing plate and the boss are used to clamp the fixing bracket and reflector, which helps to simplify the assembly process and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting plate, which is fixed at the groove of the bracket to limit the flexible light strip in the groove, thereby limiting the flexible light strip and preventing it from falling off the groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the decorative frame has at least two frame openings, and each frame opening is provided with a bracket, a reflector, and a light-transmitting plate. The side wall of the frame opening of the decorative frame is provided with a perforation for the flexible light strip to enter and exit. The two ends of the flexible light strip extend from the corresponding perforation. The double frame openings combined with the corresponding flexible light strip can create a better optical effect and improve the visual appeal. The perforation is added to facilitate the connection of the flexible light strip with an external power supply or control mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the two openings of the decorative frame are distributed in a stepped manner along the length of the decorative frame, resulting in better optical effects.

[0010] Furthermore, a weight-reducing groove is provided in the decorative frame between the two frames to help reduce weight.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model improves the structural composition of the taillight by adding a decorative frame and bracket, which facilitates the fixing of the flexible light strip and helps to improve assembly efficiency.

Weight reduction groove. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] Example 1 like Figures 1-5As shown, this example illustrates a color-tunnel effect taillight applied to the rear of a car, comprising a base shell 1, a flexible light strip 5 for emitting light, a light-transmitting plate 3, and a reflector 7. The base shell is shaped like a common groove, and the decorative frame is installed in the groove of the base shell, such as by clips or screws. The flexible light strip 5 is a common flexible silicone RGB light strip. The light-transmitting plate 3 is coated using a semi-reflective electroplating process, which can achieve uniform light diffusion. The reflector 7 is coated using a high-brightness electroplating process, which can achieve light reflection and refraction, helping to create a tunnel-like lighting effect.

[0016] In this example, decorative frame 2 and support 6 are added. The decorative frame can be selected as a single frame shape, two frame shapes, or multiple frame shapes as needed. In this example, two frame shapes are used for display. Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the decorative frame 2 has two openings along its length, and the two openings are distributed in a stepped manner along the length of the decorative frame 2. To reduce weight, a groove, i.e., a weight-reducing groove 22, can be formed in the decorative frame 2 between the two openings.

[0017] Each frame opening is fitted with a bracket 6, a reflector 7, and a light-transmitting plate 3. The bracket 6 is frame-shaped, with a groove formed circumferentially at the end face of the frame opening. The left side of the flexible light strip is embedded in the groove. The bracket 6 is fixed in the frame opening of the decorative frame 2. The fixing method can be screws, clips, etc. In this example, a fixing plate 4 is added, and a boss 22 is formed on the inner wall of the frame cavity of the decorative frame. The length or width of the ring formed by the boss is smaller than the corresponding length or width of the bracket. The bracket 6 is inserted from the bottom cavity of the frame opening of the decorative frame 2 and abuts against the boss 22. The reflector 7 is below the bracket. The fixing plate 4 is fixed to the end face of the frame opening along the width direction of the frame opening. The fixing plate 4 and the boss 22 cooperate to clamp the bracket 6 and reflector 7 in the middle, which helps with assembly efficiency.

[0018] A limiting plate 8 can also be added. If the limiting plate is also frame-shaped, it is fixed at the frame opening of the bracket 6. The limiting plate 8 blocks the groove opening of the bracket 6, thereby limiting the flexible light strip in the groove and preventing the flexible light strip from falling off the groove.

[0019] For ease of installation, in this example, a perforation 21 for the flexible light strip to pass through is formed on the side wall of the decorative frame 2, such as... Figure 3 As shown, perforations 21 are formed on the sides of both ends of the two frame openings, allowing the flexible light strip 5 to enter and exit through these perforations. For example, the middle portion of the flexible light strip passes through the two perforations in the middle, the left side of the flexible light strip connects to the bracket inside the left frame opening, and the right side connects to the bracket inside the right frame opening. Preferably, the bottom end face of the decorative frame 2 has a recessed groove forming the perforation 21, allowing the flexible light strip and bracket to be pre-installed. When the bracket is inserted into the frame opening of the decorative frame, the corresponding part of the flexible light strip is directly inserted into the perforation through the groove, facilitating assembly. Figure 3As shown, the two ends of the flexible light strip 5 can extend from the corresponding through holes 21 and then dock with the drive mechanism and other components installed in the bottom shell.

[0020] In this example, the light-transmitting plate 3 is fixed at the opening of the decorative frame above the bracket 6, which can be done by hot melting, gluing, or screw fixing.

[0021] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within its protection scope.
