Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle lighting technology, and more particularly to a vehicle lighting device and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle lights are used to illuminate roads and also to transmit signals, indicating vehicle status to pedestrians. The lampshade is made of transparent material, allowing sunlight to pass through and reach the light-emitting module inside, which can easily damage it. This is especially true for headlights with focusing lenses, which concentrate sunlight, potentially burning the light-emitting module and causing significant damage. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a vehicle lighting device and vehicle that can reduce damage to the light-emitting module.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a vehicle lighting device, which includes a housing, a light-emitting module, and a trim frame. The housing includes a light-transmitting portion, and the light-emitting module is disposed within the housing. Along a first direction, the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting module is positioned opposite to the light-transmitting portion. The trim frame is disposed within the housing and includes a blocking portion located on the side of the light-emitting surface near the light-transmitting portion. Along a second direction, the trim frame is configured to be able to translate relative to the housing. The second direction forms an angle with the first direction. The trim frame has a first position and a second position relative to the housing. In the first position, the blocking portion blocks the light-emitting surface; in the second position, the blocking portion releases its obstruction of the light-emitting surface.

[0005] With the trim frame in the first position, the obstruction portion blocks the light-emitting surface, making it difficult for sunlight to reach the light-emitting surface after passing through the lamp cover, thus reducing damage to the light-emitting module. In the second position, the obstruction portion releases the light-emitting surface, allowing light emitted from the light-emitting surface to pass through the light-transmitting portion and illuminate the external environment when the vehicle lamp is needed for illumination or as a signal light, ensuring the normal function of the vehicle lamp. Therefore, the vehicle lamp device provided in this application can reduce damage to the light-emitting module while ensuring the normal function of the vehicle lamp.

[0006] Furthermore, in this application, the obstructing portion is at least a part of the trim frame, which moves relative to the outer shell to switch between a first position and a second position. The trim frame serves not only as decoration for the headlights but also as an obstruction of the light-emitting surface, thus making full use of the trim frame. The headlight assembly does not require other components for obstructing the light-emitting surface, which improves the compactness of the headlight assembly structure. In addition, in this application, the trim frame can move relative to the outer shell, allowing it to have various shapes.

[0007] Furthermore, in this application, the trim frame component translates relative to the outer shell to switch between a first position and a second position. The movement path of the trim frame component relative to the outer shell is relatively simple and easy to control, which helps to make the movement of the trim frame component relative to the outer shell more stable and the movement accuracy relatively high. Moreover, the translation of the trim frame component relative to the outer shell allows it to switch between the first and second positions with a small range of movement, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the trim frame component, thereby helping to reduce the size of the vehicle lighting device, and also helps to use a mechanism with greater rigidity to drive the movement of the trim frame component.

[0008] In some alternative implementations of this application, in the second position, the blocking part is located at the edge of one end of the light-emitting surface along the second direction, and the blocking part is disposed opposite to the light-transmitting part along the first direction.

[0009] Thus, with the frame in the second position, by aligning the blocking portion with the light-transmitting portion along the first direction, the frame can be observed by an observer through the light-transmitting portion. Furthermore, by positioning the blocking portion at the edge of one end of the luminous surface along the second direction, it can decorate the luminous surface and also help reduce lateral light leakage. Therefore, the blocking portion serves two purposes: blocking the luminous surface and decorating it. This efficient use of the blocking portion reduces the need for other structures used to decorate the luminous surface, improving the overall structural compactness.

[0010] In some alternative implementations of this application, the housing further includes a light-shielding portion, and the light-shielding portion and the light-transmitting portion are formed on the sidewall of the same side of the housing, with the direction from the light-transmitting portion to the light-shielding portion pointing from the first position to the second position. In the first position, the blocking portion and the light-shielding portion are joined together to jointly block the light-emitting surface.

[0011] With the frame in the first position, the blocking part and the light-blocking part are joined together to block the light-emitting surface, making it less likely for sunlight to come into contact with the light-emitting surface, thus reducing the scorching effect of sunlight on the light-emitting surface.

[0012] In some alternative implementations of this application, there are two trim pieces, and the two trim pieces are parallel in the direction of translation relative to the outer shell. In the first position, the obscuring portions of the two trim pieces are spliced ​​together along the second direction.

[0013] Compared to having only one shielding part to block the light-emitting surface, this application arranges the shielding parts of the two decorative frame pieces in the first position to be spliced ​​together along the second direction to jointly block the light-emitting surface. This makes the distance that each decorative frame piece moves in the second direction smaller during the switching between the first and second positions, and the distance that the decorative frame piece moves relative to the outer shell is smaller. This is beneficial to improving the rigidity of the mechanism that drives the movement of the decorative frame piece, and also beneficial to improving the movement accuracy of the decorative frame piece.

[0014] In some alternative implementations of this application, the frame member is slidably connected to the housing along the second direction.

[0015] By making the frame piece slide to the outer shell, the installation of the frame piece inside the outer shell is more stable and convenient, and the movement of the frame piece relative to the outer shell is more stable.

[0016] In some alternative implementations of this application, the vehicle lighting device further includes a drive mechanism, which is fixedly connected to the housing, and the output end of the drive mechanism is driven to the trim frame to drive the trim frame to translate relative to the housing in a second direction.

[0017] Compared to manually moving the trim frame relative to the housing, this application uses a drive mechanism to move the trim frame relative to the housing, which is more efficient, easier to operate, and provides more precise control over the movement of the trim frame. Furthermore, by fixing the drive mechanism to the housing, the installation reliability of the drive mechanism is higher.

[0018] In some alternative implementations of this application, the drive mechanism is disposed on the side of the shielding portion closer to the light-emitting surface. The decorative frame also includes a connecting portion that extends along a first direction, with a first end fixedly connected to the shielding portion and a second end drivingly connected to the drive mechanism.

[0019] The distance between the light-emitting surface and the light-transmitting part is relatively small. The blocking part is located between the light-emitting surface and the light-transmitting part, and the distance between the blocking part and the light-transmitting part is even smaller. The space on the side of the blocking part away from the light-transmitting part inside the housing is relatively large. The arrangement of the driving mechanism requires a certain amount of space. Compared with setting the driving mechanism on the side of the blocking part closer to the light-transmitting part, this application sets the driving mechanism on the side of the blocking part closer to the light-emitting surface. That is, the driving mechanism is set on the side of the blocking part away from the light-transmitting part, which facilitates the arrangement of the driving mechanism inside the housing.

[0020] In some alternative implementations of this application, the connecting part can be constructed as a connecting plate, the thickness direction of which is parallel to the second direction.

[0021] By constructing the connecting part as a connecting plate, the volume of the connecting part is relatively large, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the connecting part and the contact area between the connecting part and the drive mechanism, thus improving the stability of the connection between the connecting part and the drive mechanism. By making the thickness direction of the connecting plate parallel to the second direction, it is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the connecting plate in the second direction. The connecting plate can also translate relative to the outer shell along the second direction without occupying too much space.

[0022] In some alternative implementations of this application, the drive mechanism is an electric cylinder or a linear motor.

[0023] In this way, the drive mechanism has a simpler structure, smaller size, and lower cost.

[0024] In some alternative implementations of this application, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0025] In this way, the trim piece can switch between the position of blocking the light-emitting surface and the position of avoiding the light-emitting surface with a small distance of movement relative to the base. This makes the trim piece more efficient in switching between the two positions, consumes less energy during the switching process, and occupies less space, which helps to reduce the size of the vehicle lighting device.

[0026] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle that includes the lighting device provided in the first aspect of this application.

[0027] The vehicle provided in this application, including the vehicle lighting device provided in the first aspect of this application, can achieve the same technical effect, namely, it can reduce damage to the light-emitting module. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions in this application will now be described clearly and in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0033] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0034] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0035] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] This application provides a vehicle, which, by way of example, can be a sedan, SUV, sport utility vehicle (SUV), truck, bus, or public bus.

[0037] The vehicle provided in this application includes a lighting device, which, for example, may be a headlight, taillight, or turn signal.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the headlight assembly in some embodiments of this application, showing the trim frame in the second position. Figure 2This is a cross-sectional view of a vehicle lighting device with the trim frame in a first position according to some embodiments of this application. The vehicle lighting device provided in this application includes a housing 1, a light-emitting module 2, and a trim frame 3. The housing 1 includes a light-transmitting portion 121. The light-emitting module 2 is disposed within the housing 1. Along a first direction x, the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting module 2 is opposite to the light-transmitting portion 121. The trim frame 3 is disposed within the housing 1 and includes a blocking portion 31. The blocking portion 31 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting surface near the light-transmitting portion 121. Along a second direction y, the trim frame 3 is configured to be able to translate relative to the housing 1. The second direction y forms an angle with the first direction x. The trim frame 3 has a first position and a second position relative to the housing 1. In the first position, the blocking portion 31 blocks the light-emitting surface; in the second position, the blocking portion 31 releases the blocking of the light-emitting surface.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, when the trim frame 3 is in the first position, the blocking part 31 blocks the light-emitting surface, making it difficult for sunlight to reach the light-emitting surface after passing through the lamp cover 12, thus reducing damage to the light-emitting module 2. When the second position is reached, the blocking part 31 releases its obstruction of the light-emitting surface, allowing the light emitted from the light-emitting surface to pass through the light-transmitting part 121 and illuminate the external environment when the vehicle lighting device needs illumination or to function as a signal light, ensuring the normal function of the vehicle lighting device. Therefore, the vehicle lighting device provided in this application can reduce damage to the light-emitting module 2 while ensuring the normal function of the vehicle lighting device.

[0040] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the blocking portion 31 is at least a part of the trim frame 3. The trim frame 3 moves relative to the outer shell 1 to switch between a first position and a second position. The trim frame 3 is used not only for the decoration of the headlights but also for blocking the light-emitting surface. The trim frame 3 is fully utilized, and the headlight device does not need to be equipped with other components for blocking the light-emitting surface, which helps to improve the compactness of the headlight device structure. In addition, in this embodiment, the trim frame 3 can move relative to the outer shell 1, so that the trim frame 3 can have various shapes.

[0041] Additionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the trim frame 3 translates relative to the outer shell 1 to switch between a first position and a second position. The movement path of the trim frame 3 relative to the outer shell 1 is relatively simple, which helps to make the movement of the trim frame 3 relative to the outer shell 1 more stable and the movement accuracy relatively high. Moreover, the translation of the trim frame 3 relative to the outer shell 1 allows the trim frame 3 to switch between the first position and the second position with a small range of movement, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the trim frame 3, thereby helping to reduce the size of the vehicle lighting device, and also helps to use a mechanism with greater rigidity to drive the movement of the trim frame 3.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the housing 1 includes a lamp housing 11 and a lamp shade 12. The lamp housing 11 and the lamp shade 12 have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The lamp housing 11 and the lamp shade 12 together form a receiving cavity. The light-emitting module 2 and the decorative frame 3 are both disposed in the receiving cavity. The light-transmitting part 121 is at least a part of the lamp shade 12.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the application, the light-emitting module 2 is a component in the vehicle lamp device used to emit light. The light-emitting module 2 can have various implementation forms. For example, in some embodiments of this application, the light-emitting module 2 includes a light-emitting element, which can be a light-emitting diode (LED), a halogen lamp, or a xenon lamp, etc. In some embodiments of this application, the light-emitting module 2 includes a light-emitting element and a first reflector bowl. The first reflector bowl is configured to reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting element into parallel light along the thickness direction of the lamp cover 12 toward the lamp cover 12. In some embodiments of this application, the light-emitting module 2 includes a light-emitting element, a focusing element, and a lens. The focusing element can be a condenser or a second reflector bowl, etc. The focusing element is configured to converge the light emitted by the light-emitting element to the focal point of the lens. The lens is configured to refract the light converged by the focusing element into parallel light along the thickness direction of the lamp cover 12 toward the lamp cover 12.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the first direction x is also the orientation of the light-emitting surface, which is also the thickness direction of the lamp cover 12. Exemplarily, in some embodiments of this application, the vehicle lamp device is a headlight, and the first direction x is the length direction of the vehicle.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the second direction y is perpendicular to the first direction x. This allows the trim frame 3 to switch between a position blocking the light-emitting surface and a position avoiding the light-emitting surface with only a small movement relative to the base. This results in high efficiency for the trim frame 3 in switching between the two positions, low energy consumption during the switching process, and a smaller space occupied during switching, which helps to reduce the size of the vehicle lighting device.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the second direction y can be implemented in various ways. For example, the second direction y can be the width direction of the vehicle or the length direction of the vehicle, etc.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Generally, when the light-emitting module 2 is off, the trim frame 3 is in the first position to reduce the scorching of the light-emitting surface by sunlight. When the light-emitting module 2 is on, the trim frame 3 is in the second position so that the light emitted from the light-emitting surface can pass through the light-transmitting module normally to realize the lighting function of the vehicle lamp device.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the application, the trim frame 3 has the same meaning as commonly understood in the technical field of this application. The trim frame 3 is also called a transition plate, which is used to cover the non-exterior parts inside the headlights and has the functions of concealing blemishes and shaping.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It should be explained that, in the embodiments of this application, the blocking part 31 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting surface near the light-transmitting part 121, which means that along the first direction x, the blocking part 31 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting surface near the light-transmitting part 121.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It should be explained that, in the embodiments of this application, the decorative frame 3 has a first position and a second position relative to the outer shell 1, which is achieved by translating the decorative frame 3 relative to the outer shell 1 along the second direction y. That is, the translation of the decorative frame 3 relative to the outer shell 1 along the second direction y makes the decorative frame 3 switch between the first position and the second position.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, in the second position, the blocking portion 31 is located at the edge of one end of the luminous surface along the second direction y, and the blocking portion 31 is disposed opposite to the light-transmitting portion 121 along the first direction x. Thus, when the frame member 3 is in the second position, by disposing the blocking portion 31 opposite to the light-transmitting portion 121 along the first direction x, a person can observe the frame member 3 through the light-transmitting portion 121. By placing the blocking portion 31 at the edge of one end of the luminous surface along the second direction y, the blocking portion 31 can decorate the luminous surface and also helps reduce lateral light leakage from the luminous surface. Therefore, the blocking portion 31 can be used to both block the luminous surface and decorate it, making full use of the blocking portion 31 and reducing the need for other structures used to decorate the luminous surface, thus improving the compactness of the structure.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of this application, the outer casing 1 further includes a light-shielding portion 122. The light-shielding portion 122 and the light-transmitting portion 121 are formed on the sidewall of the same side of the outer casing 1, and the direction from the light-transmitting portion 121 to the light-shielding portion 122 points from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the blocking portion 31 and the light-shielding portion 122 are joined together to block the light-emitting surface. By placing the decorative frame 3 in the first position, the blocking portion 31 and the light-shielding portion 122 are joined together to block the light-emitting surface, making it less likely for sunlight to contact the light-emitting surface, thus reducing the scorching effect of sunlight on the light-emitting surface. In some embodiments of this application, the light-shielding portion 122 can be combined with the edge of the light-transmitting portion 121. This facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the outer casing 1.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, in some embodiments of this application, the vehicle lighting device is a headlight, with a light-shielding portion 122 and a light-transmitting portion 121 formed on the side wall of the housing 1 near the front of the vehicle. In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle lighting device is a taillight, with a light-shielding portion 122 and a light-transmitting portion 121 formed on the side wall of the housing 1 near the rear of the vehicle.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, there are two decorative frame members 3, and the two decorative frame members 3 are parallel in the direction of translation relative to the outer shell 1. In the first position, the blocking portions 31 of the two decorative frame members 3 are spliced ​​together along the second direction y. Compared with only one blocking portion 31 blocking the light-emitting surface, this application arranges the blocking portions 31 of the two decorative frame members 3 along the second direction y in the first position to jointly block the light-emitting surface. This makes the distance that each decorative frame member 3 moves in the second direction y during the switching between the first and second positions smaller, and the movement distance of the decorative frame member 3 relative to the outer shell 1 smaller. This is beneficial to improving the rigidity of the mechanism that drives the movement of the decorative frame member 3, and also beneficial to improving the movement accuracy of the decorative frame member 3.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, in the first position, the two blocking portions 31 completely cover the light-transmitting portion 121. This makes it less likely for sunlight to come into contact with the light-emitting surface, thereby reducing the risk of sunburn on the light-emitting surface.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understood that, in this embodiment of the application, when both blocking portions 31 are in their corresponding first positions, the two decorative frame members 3 can move away from each other along the second direction y, thereby switching both decorative frame members 3 to their corresponding second positions. It is also understood that, when both decorative frame members 3 are in their corresponding second positions, the blocking portions 31 of the two decorative frame members 3 are located on opposite sides of the light-emitting surface along the second direction y.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle lighting device further includes a drive mechanism 4, which is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The output end of the drive mechanism 4 is connected to the trim frame 3 via a transmission connection, thereby driving the trim frame 3 to translate relative to the housing 1 along the second direction y. Compared to manually driving the trim frame 3 to translate relative to the housing 1, this application uses the drive mechanism 4 to drive the trim frame 3 to translate relative to the housing 1, which is more efficient, easier to operate, and provides more precise control over the movement of the trim frame 3. Moreover, by fixing the drive mechanism 4 to the housing 1, the installation reliability of the drive mechanism 4 is higher.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the frame member 3 is slidably connected to the outer shell 1 along the second direction y. By making the frame member 3 slidably connected to the outer shell 1, the installation of the frame inside the outer shell 1 is more stable and convenient, and the movement of the frame relative to the outer shell 1 during translation is more stable.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, a groove is formed on the inner surface of the outer shell 1, and a slider is formed on the outer surface of the decorative frame 3. The slider slides in conjunction with the groove. It can be understood that the extension direction of the groove is also the second direction y. In this way, the connection between the decorative frame and the outer shell 1 is more stable and convenient, and the movement of the decorative frame relative to the outer shell 1 is more stable.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Of course, in some embodiments of this application, the frame member 3 may not be directly connected to the outer shell 1; instead, the frame member 3 may be connected to the outer shell 1 via a drive mechanism 4. This simplifies the structure of the frame member 3 and the outer shell 1 and helps reduce costs.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the driving mechanism 4 is disposed on the side of the shielding portion 31 near the light-emitting surface. The decorative frame 3 also includes a connecting portion 32, which extends along a first direction x. The first end of the connecting portion 32 is fixedly connected to the shielding portion 31, and the second end is drively connected to the driving mechanism 4.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the first end and the second end of the connecting portion 32 are the two opposite ends of the connecting portion 32 along the first direction x.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2It should be explained that, in the embodiments of this application, the driving mechanism 4 is disposed on the side of the blocking part 31 near the light-emitting surface, which means that along the first direction x, the driving mechanism 4 is located on the side of the blocking part 31 near the light-emitting surface.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understood that in this embodiment, the distance between the light-emitting surface and the light-transmitting part 121 is relatively small, the blocking part 31 is located between the light-emitting surface and the light-transmitting part 121, the distance between the blocking part 122 and the light-transmitting part 121 is even smaller, and the space on the side of the blocking part 31 away from the light-transmitting part 121 inside the housing 1 is relatively large. The arrangement of the driving mechanism 4 requires a certain amount of space. Compared with setting the driving mechanism 4 on the side of the blocking part 31 close to the light-transmitting part 121, this application sets the driving mechanism 4 on the side of the blocking part 31 close to the light-emitting surface, that is, sets the driving mechanism 4 on the side of the blocking part 31 away from the light-transmitting part 121, which facilitates the arrangement of the driving mechanism 4 inside the housing 1.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the connecting portion 32 can be configured as a connecting plate, with the thickness direction of the connecting plate parallel to the second direction y. By configuring the connecting portion 32 as a connecting plate, the volume of the connecting portion 32 is relatively large, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the connecting portion 32 and the contact area between the connecting portion 32 and the drive mechanism 4, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the connecting portion 32 and the drive mechanism 4. By making the thickness direction of the connecting plate parallel to the second direction y, it is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the connecting plate in the second direction y. The connecting plate can also translate relative to the outer shell 1 along the second direction y without occupying too much space.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the drive mechanism 4 is an electric cylinder 41 or a linear motor. This results in a simpler structure, smaller size, and lower cost for the drive mechanism 4.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, there are two drive mechanisms 4, which are respectively connected to two decorative frame pieces 3, and drive the two decorative frame pieces 3 to move relative to the outer shell 1. Of course, in some embodiments of this application, there may also be one drive mechanism 4, in which the two decorative frame pieces 3 are connected to the same drive mechanism 4, and drive mechanism 4 drives the two decorative frame pieces 3 to move relative to the outer shell 1.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of this application, there are two decorative frame pieces 3, and the two decorative frame pieces 3 are parallel in their translational directions relative to the outer shell 1. In the first position, the blocking portions 31 of the two decorative frame pieces 3 are spliced ​​together along the second direction y. There are two electric cylinders 41, and the cylinder body of the electric cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1. The two electric cylinders 41 are respectively connected to the two decorative frame pieces 3 in a transmission manner, and the two electric cylinders 41 respectively drive the two decorative frame pieces 3 to move relative to the outer shell 1. Based on this, in some embodiments of this application, the extension direction of the output shaft of the electric cylinder 41 is parallel to the second direction y. The direction from the light-emitting surface to the electric cylinder 41 points from the first position to the second position, and the direction from the output end of the electric cylinder 41 to the cylinder body points from the first position to the second position. Here, the second position and the first position refer to the position of the decorative frame piece 3 corresponding to the electric cylinder 41. Here, the output end of the electric cylinder 41 is the end of the output shaft of the electric cylinder 41 that is away from the cylinder body of the electric cylinder 41. In this way, by making the direction of the light-emitting surface to the electric cylinder 41 point from the first position to the second position, and the direction of the output end of the electric cylinder 41 to the cylinder body point from the first position to the second position, the output end of the electric cylinder 41 is closer to the corresponding decorative frame 3, which facilitates the arrangement of the electric cylinder 41.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the connection between the drive mechanism and the trim frame in some embodiments of this application when the trim frame is in the first position. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view showing the connection between the drive mechanism and the trim frame in some embodiments of this application when the trim frame is in the second position. In some embodiments of this application, the output end of the drive mechanism 4 has a ball head 42, which is connected to the connecting part 32 in a transmission manner. In this way, the installation of the ball head 42 and the connecting part 32 is more convenient, and the connecting part 32 can rotate relatively to a small extent relative to the ball head 42, which helps to reduce the stress concentration between the connecting part 32 and the output end of the motor.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle light device further includes a mounting bracket 5. The connecting portion 32 and the mounting bracket 5 can be fixedly connected, for example, by adhesive bonding or by fasteners. The output end of the drive mechanism 4 is connected to the connecting portion 32 through the mounting bracket 5 to drive the trim frame 3 to move relative to the outer shell 1. Compared to the drive mechanism 4 being directly connected to the connecting portion 32, the structure of the trim frame 3 in this embodiment is simpler. It is only necessary to form a connecting hole for mounting fasteners in the trim frame 3, without having to form a more complex structure for connecting to the ball joint 42, making the processing and manufacturing of the trim frame more convenient.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle light device further includes a ball-head latch, which has the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The ball-head latch has a connecting groove and a latch, the connecting groove engaging with the ball head 42, and the latch engaging and fixing with the mounting bracket 5. Thus, the drive mechanism 4 and the mounting bracket 5 are connected via the ball-head latch, eliminating the need for a mounting groove in the mounting bracket 5 to engage with the ball head 42, thereby improving the ease of manufacturing the mounting bracket 5.
