The lamp housing has an inner cavity and a side opening communicating with the inner cavity. The lamp housing is provided with a first mounting position located at the top of the side opening. The lamp cover covers the side opening and is mounted on the first mounting position. The lamp cover is configured such that, viewed from the top of the lamp in the direction of gravity, the lamp cover blocks the first mounting position. When rainwater flows down the vehicle body, the water flowing down from the top of the lamp will be blocked by the blocking part of the lamp cover, making it difficult for the water to directly contact the first mounting position, that is, it is difficult for the lamp housing and the lamp cover to directly contact the welded position at the top. In this way, the first mounting position can be prevented from being soaked and impacted by rainwater for a long time, fundamentally reducing the risk of fatigue fracture of the first mounting position.

Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Car lights generally consist of a housing and a cover. Since they are mounted on the vehicle body, they need to be sealed. Therefore, the housing and cover are usually welded together. However, in related technologies, after the car lights are assembled on the vehicle body, when it rains or the car body is washed, water will flow along the body to the welded joint between the cover and the housing. Over time, the welded joint is prone to breakage, thus affecting the lifespan of the car lights. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a lamp and a vehicle to improve the problem in the related art where, after a vehicle lamp is mounted on the vehicle body, water flows along the body to the weld between the lamp cover and the lamp housing when it rains or the vehicle body is washed. Over time, the weld is prone to breakage, thus affecting the service life of the vehicle lamp.

[0004] In a first aspect, a lamp is provided for connection to the body of a vehicle, the lamp comprising: The lamp housing has an inner cavity and a side opening communicating with the inner cavity, and the lamp housing is provided with a first mounting position located at the top of the side opening; and, A lampshade, which covers the side opening and is installed in a first mounting position, is configured such that, when viewed from the top of the luminaire along the direction of gravity, the lampshade obscures the first mounting position.

[0005] In the lamp of this application embodiment, when rainwater flows down the vehicle body, the water flowing down from the top of the lamp will first be blocked by the shielding part of the lamp cover, making it difficult to directly contact the first mounting position, that is, it is difficult to directly contact the welding position between the lamp housing and the lamp cover at the top.

[0006] In this way, the first mounting position can be prevented from being soaked and impacted by rainwater for a long time, fundamentally reducing the risk of fatigue fracture of the first mounting position.

[0007] In some embodiments, the lampshade has a top surface located at the top, extending downwards along the depth direction of the inner cavity and from the lampshade towards the lamp housing.

[0008] Based on the above embodiments, the design of the top facing the lamp housing and extending downwards can actively guide the water flow to non-critical areas, further avoiding accidental water flow impacting the first mounting position. The water flow will flow along the outer wall of the lamp housing to the bottom wall of the mounting groove. The mounting groove can discharge rainwater outside the vehicle through preset drainage holes (or a natural inclined structure), forming a complete path of top surface guidance, mounting groove water collection, and external drainage, so that rainwater does not come into contact with critical components throughout the process, improving the service life of the lamp. In addition, the top is tilted towards the inner cavity of the lamp housing, which is equivalent to guiding the extension of the lamp cover towards the bottom of the mounting slot, rather than extending it outward or upward. The overall radial dimension of the lamp is smaller, which can be well embedded into the mounting slot of the existing depth, saving the design cost of vehicle body space.

[0009] In some embodiments, the lamp housing includes a lamp housing body and a first flange connected to the top of the lamp housing body. A protruding strip is provided on the side of the first flange facing the lampshade, and the protruding strip forms a first mounting position.

[0010] Based on the above embodiments, the first flange can act as a reinforcing rib, effectively dispersing the force on the top of the lamp housing. The convex strip is a raised structure, and the side facing away from the first flange can be recessed to form a mounting groove, which can be welded to the protruding structure on the lamp cover. In this way, the protruding structure and the mounting groove form an assembly structure, which can quickly align the lamp cover and the lamp housing, avoiding left-right misalignment and up-down tilting during assembly, and ensuring that the lamp cover accurately covers the side opening of the lamp housing.

[0011] In some embodiments, the top of the first flange has a top surface extending along the depth direction of the inner cavity and from the lampshade to the lamp housing. The top surface has a downward tendency, and the orthographic projection of the top surface onto the edge of the lamp housing is located on the top surface.

[0012] Based on the above embodiments, rainwater can flow along the top surface under the action of gravity, and is unlikely to affect the first installation position, thereby further improving the service life of the lamp. In addition, while ensuring that rainwater flowing towards the top surface is guided to a location other than the first mounting position, it also enables the entire lamp housing to be miniaturized and lightweight, reducing manufacturing costs.

[0013] In some embodiments, the lampshade includes: The outer casing covers the side openings; An insert is located inside the outer cover and protrudes from the outer cover, and the insert is installed in the first mounting position.

[0014] Based on the above embodiments, during the assembly of the lampshade and the lamp housing, the insert and the outer housing can be pre-assembled to form a complete lampshade, and then the insert is connected to the first mounting position of the lamp housing. Compared with the outer housing directly connecting to the first mounting position, the pre-assembled lampshade assembly is more accurately positioned, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments to the position of the outer housing, resulting in higher assembly efficiency.

[0015] In some embodiments, the outer casing is arched away from the lamp housing.

[0016] Based on the above embodiments, rainwater can flow down the arc more quickly, further enhancing the rainproof capability of the lamps; The arched shape of the outer casing can evenly distribute external forces throughout the entire casing, rather than concentrating them at a single point, thus significantly improving its resistance to fracture and deformation.

[0017] In some embodiments, the outer cover is made of rigid plastic and the inner insert is made of soft plastic.

[0018] Based on the above embodiments, the rigid and flexible plastic parts are assembled using a two-color injection molding process, resulting in a more robust and sealed assembly. The soft rubber parts are elastic and highly malleable. When welded to the first mounting position of the lamp housing, they can fill the connection gap through slight deformation to form a tight seal and prevent rainwater from seeping in. At the same time, the soft rubber parts have cushioning properties and can absorb the impact of vehicle vibration on the connection position, avoiding breakage caused by direct collision with hard rubber.

[0019] In some embodiments, the insert is a light-shielding element.

[0020] Based on the above embodiments, by using an embedded light shield, when targeting the taillights of a vehicle, it can be ensured that the light only shines backward and does not scatter in the direction of other vehicle lights, thus avoiding disordered light leakage. The embedded component combines flexibility and light-shielding function into one, eliminating the need for additional independent light-shielding structures such as light-shielding plates or light-shielding strips, which greatly simplifies the internal layout of the lamp and can also reduce costs to some extent.

[0021] Secondly, a vehicle is provided, including the aforementioned lamps; and, The vehicle body has a roof above and a floor below, and the lights are mounted on the vehicle body.

[0022] In some embodiments, the side wall of the vehicle body is recessed to form a mounting groove, and the lamp housing is mounted in the mounting groove. Along the direction of gravity and viewed from the top of the vehicle, the vehicle body obscures the top surface of the lamp housing.

[0023] Based on the above embodiments, the top surface of the vehicle body shielding the lamp cover forms a first layer of obstruction. That is, when water flows down from the side wall of the roof, it will be blocked by the vehicle body first and flow to the outer wall of the lamp cover, making it difficult to directly spray onto the top of the lamp cover, thus reducing the possibility of water contacting the first mounting position from the source.

[0026] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Car lights generally consist of a housing and a cover. Since they are mounted on the vehicle body, they need to be sealed. Therefore, the housing and cover are usually welded together. However, in related technologies, after the car lights are assembled on the vehicle body, when it rains or the car body is washed, water will flow along the body to the welded joint between the cover and the housing. Over time, the welded joint is prone to breakage, thus affecting the lifespan of the car lights.

[0029] For this, please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a vehicle including a body 100 and a lamp 200. The body 100 has a roof above and a floor below. The lamp 200 is mounted on the body 100, specifically, the lamp 200 is mounted on the side wall of the body 100.

[0030] Because the automotive lights in related technologies face the problem of rainwater erosion of the mounting positions (welded positions), these types of automotive lights are generally external lights 200 that are exposed to the outside of the vehicle and easily exposed to rainwater. Therefore, the light 200 in the embodiments of this application can be a front external light of a car, that is, the light 200 can be a headlight, front fog light, and front turn signal, etc., or it can be a rear external light of a car, such as a taillight, rear fog light, brake light, and tailgate light. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 In this embodiment of the application, the lamp 200 is used as a vehicle taillight for illustrative purposes, and it is a through taillight that can be installed on the taillight of the vehicle.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The lamp 200 includes a lamp housing 10 and a lamp shade 20.

[0032] The lamp housing 10 has an inner cavity 10a, which is used to house light-emitting and light-controlling components such as bulbs, circuit boards, and reflectors, providing a closed and stable installation space for these components and reducing the impact of external dust and minor collisions.

[0033] The lamp housing 10 also has a side opening 10b communicating with the inner cavity 10a. The side opening 10b can serve as a mounting port for light-emitting and light-controlling components, and also as a light outlet for the entire lamp 200. The lamp housing 10 is provided with a first mounting position 10c located at the top of the side opening 10b. The lamp housing 10 may also have a second mounting position located at the bottom of the side opening 10b, and a side mounting position located on the side of the side opening 10b.

[0034] The lampshade 20 covers the side opening 10b and is installed in the first mounting position 10c, the second mounting position, and the side mounting position, forming an integral structure of the lamp housing 10 and the lampshade 20. In this way, the lampshade 20, as a component that directly covers the side opening 10b, can prevent rainwater and dust from entering the inner cavity 10a through the side opening 10b, avoid internal circuit short circuits and component rusting, and ensure that light can pass through the inner cavity 10a normally without affecting the lighting effect.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lampshade 20 is configured such that, when viewed from the top of the lamp 200 along the direction of gravity, the lampshade 20 covers the first mounting position 10c.

[0036] When rainwater flows down the vehicle body 100 (or is washed by water during a car wash), the water flowing down from the top of the lamp 200 will first be blocked by the shielding part of the lamp cover 20, making it difficult to directly contact the first mounting position 10c, that is, it is difficult to directly contact the welding position at the top of the lamp housing 10 and the lamp cover 20.

[0037] In this way, the first mounting position 10c can be prevented from being soaked and impacted by rainwater for a long time, fundamentally reducing the risk of fatigue fracture of the first mounting position 10c.

[0038] It is understandable that the lampshade 20 is connected to the first mounting position 10c by welding. Due to the influence of the materials of the lampshade 20 and the lamp housing 10, the welding method is generally hot plate welding, ultrasonic welding, etc., which are not restricted here. The specific method is set according to the actual situation.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 In one embodiment of this application, the side wall of the vehicle body 100 is recessed to form an assembly groove 100a, and the lamp housing 10 is assembled in the assembly groove 100a. Along the direction of gravity and viewed from the top of the vehicle, the vehicle body 100 blocks the top surface 20a of the lamp cover 20.

[0040] When the lamp housing 10 is placed into the mounting slot 100a, the slot wall limits the lamp housing 10 from all sides to prevent misalignment during installation and ensure the precise relative position of the lamp 200 and the vehicle body 100. Furthermore, the lamp housing 10 is not installed protruding from the vehicle body 100, but rather embedded in the recessed mounting slot 100a, with the side wall of the vehicle body 100 forming a "protective barrier" for the lamp housing 10. In daily driving, when encountering small stones or minor scrapes while parking, the external force will first act on the vehicle body 100, rather than directly impacting the lamp housing 10. Even in the event of a minor collision, the slot wall of the mounting slot 100a can distribute the impact force, reducing the risk of deformation of the lamp housing 10 and loosening of the connection points.

[0041] In this embodiment of the application, based on the direction of gravity and viewed from the top of the vehicle, the body 100 blocks the top surface 20a of the lamp cover 20, forming a first layer of obstruction. That is, when water flows down from the side wall of the roof, it will first be blocked by the body 100 and flow to the outer wall of the lamp cover 20, making it difficult to directly spray onto the top of the lamp cover 20, thus reducing the possibility of water flowing into the first mounting position 10c from the source.

[0042] The lamp cover 20 is configured to be viewed from the top of the lamp 200 along the direction of gravity. The lamp cover 20 blocks the first mounting position 10c, forming a second layer of barrier. In some harsh environments, water flows through the gap between the lamp cover 20 and the vehicle body 100 to the top surface 20a of the lamp cover 20. Because the lamp cover 20 blocks the first mounting position 10c, it is difficult for the water to come into contact with the first mounting position 10c, thereby reducing the possibility of the first mounting position 10c being corroded and broken, and further improving the service life of the entire lamp 200.

[0043] Following on from the above, please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of this application, along the depth direction of the inner cavity 10a and from the lampshade 20 to the lamp housing 10, the top surface 20a of the lampshade 20 has a downward tendency.

[0044] The top surface 20a can be curved or sloping, allowing rainwater to flow away quickly and fundamentally reducing the risk of water stagnation. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the top surface 20a of the lampshade 20 is an inclined surface, so as to... Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the top surface 20a extends downwards and to the left, forming a natural slope. When a small amount of rainwater falls on the top surface 20a, it will flow quickly towards the lamp housing 10 along the sloping surface, rather than accumulating on the top surface 20a.

[0045] The design of the top surface 20a extending towards the lamp housing 10 and below can actively guide water flow to non-critical areas, further preventing water flow from accidentally impacting the first mounting position 10c. The water flow will flow along the outer wall of the lamp housing 10 to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 100a. The mounting groove 100a can drain rainwater outside the vehicle through preset drainage holes (or a naturally inclined structure), forming a complete channel for top surface 20a to guide water flow, mounting groove 100a to collect water, and external drainage, so that rainwater does not come into contact with critical components throughout the process, thus improving the service life of the lamp 200.

[0046] In addition, due to the limited thickness of the sheet metal of the body 100, the space of the recessed mounting groove 100a on the side wall of the body 100 is limited. The inclined top surface 20a allows the top of the lamp cover 20 to retract inward, avoiding protrusion outward or upward to occupy extra space.

[0047] If the top surface 20a of the lamp cover 20 extends upward, the height of the lamp cover 20 needs to be increased to achieve rainwater shielding and diversion, which will increase the overall volume of the lamp 200 and may exceed the capacity of the mounting slot 100a, forcing the mounting slot 100a of the body 100 to be widened, thereby increasing the processing cost of the body 100.

[0048] The top surface 20a is inclined toward the inner cavity 10a of the lamp housing 10, which is equivalent to guiding the extension of the lamp cover 20 toward the bottom of the mounting groove 100a, rather than extending it to the outside or above the mounting groove 100a. The overall radial dimension of the lamp 200 is smaller, which can be well embedded in the mounting groove 100a of the existing depth, saving space design costs of the vehicle body 100.

[0049] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The lamp housing 10 includes a lamp housing body 11 and a first flange 12 connected to the top of the lamp housing body 11. A protruding strip 13 is provided on the side of the first flange 12 facing the lamp cover 20, and the protruding strip 13 forms a first mounting position 10c.

[0050] It is understood that the edge of the lamp housing body 11 forming the side opening is bent outward to form a flange structure. The flange structure includes a first flange 12 located at the top, and may also include a second flange located at the bottom, as well as a side flange located on the side. In this embodiment, since the first flange 12 is located at the top of the lamp housing body 11, and the first flange 12 is provided with a protrusion 13 forming the first mounting position 10c, the first flange 12 is described by way of example.

[0051] The top of the lamp housing body 11 is directly connected to the first flange 12. The first flange 12 can act as a reinforcing rib and effectively distribute the force on the top of the lamp housing 10. The protruding strip 13 is a protruding structure. The side of it facing away from the first flange 12 can be recessed to form a mounting groove, which can be welded to the protruding structure on the lamp cover 20. In this way, the protruding structure and the mounting groove form an assembly structure, which can quickly align the lamp cover 20 and the lamp housing 10, avoid left and right misalignment and up and down tilting during assembly, and ensure that the lamp cover 20 accurately covers the side opening 10b of the lamp housing 10.

[0052] The protruding strip 13 protrudes from the first flange 12, and a sealing ring can be fitted around the circumference of the protruding strip 13. When the lamp cover 20 and the protruding strip 13 are engaged, the lamp cover 20 will press the sealing ring against the first flange 12, so that the sealing ring forms a waterproof barrier, thereby further reducing the possibility of rainwater contacting the first mounting position 10c.

[0053] Furthermore, the top of the first flange 12 has a top surface 12a, which extends downward along the depth direction of the inner cavity 10a and from the lampshade 20 to the lamp housing 10. The orthographic projection of the top surface 20a onto the edge of the lamp housing 10 is located on the top surface 12a.

[0054] The top surface 12a of the first flange 12 can be either an arc surface or an inclined surface. Both arc surfaces and inclined surfaces can accelerate water drainage. That is, when rainwater falls onto the top surface 20a of the lampshade 20, it will flow along the top surface 20a to the top surface 12a of the first flange 12. Since the top surface 12a is a downward-extending arc surface or inclined surface, under the action of gravity, it will... Figure 4 The indicated orientation is for reference only. Rainwater will flow to the left and will have little impact on the first mounting position 10c on the right, thereby further improving the service life of the lamp 200.

[0055] Based on the fact that the top surface 20a of the above-mentioned lamp cover 20 also extends downward, when the top surface 12a of the first flange 12 also tilts downward, the tilting directions of the two are consistent, which can form a continuous path for the lamp cover 20 to be guided to the first flange 12. That is, some of the rainwater that seeps in first flows through the top surface 20a of the lamp cover 20 to the first flange 12, and then through the top surface 12a of the first flange 12 to the assembly groove 100a, and finally is discharged out of the vehicle through the assembly groove 100a. The water flow always flows away from the protrusion 13, that is, the rainwater does not contact the protrusion 13 throughout the process, which means it is difficult to contact the first mounting position 10c, and the protection of the first mounting position 10c is more thorough, thereby ensuring the service life of the lamp 200.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the edge of the top surface 20a adjacent to the lamp housing 10 is located on the top surface 12a, that is, the edge does not extend excessively into the inner cavity 10a of the lamp housing 10. This ensures that rainwater flowing to the top surface 20a is guided to a position other than the first mounting position 10c via the top surface 12a, while also enabling the entire lamp housing 10 to be miniaturized and lightweight, reducing manufacturing costs.

[0057] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment of this application, the lamp housing 10 may also include a bottom housing 14 and a side housing 15. The bottom housing 14 is used to connect with the sheet metal of the vehicle body 100. The side housing 15 includes an upper side housing 151 and a lower side housing 152. The first flange 12 is located on the side of the upper side housing 151 away from the bottom housing 15, and the upper side housing 151 and the lower side housing 152 are set with a narrow opening.

[0058] The upper side shell 151 is also inclined. In this way, the upper side shell 151 and the lower side shell 152 are narrowed, so that the outer edge of the upper side shell 151 is narrowed inward. When rainwater flows along the vehicle body to the top of the lamp housing 10, it will be blocked by the first flange 12. That is, it will flow along the top surface 12a of the first flange 12 to the outer surface of the upper side shell 151, and then flow down along the outer surface of the upper side shell 151 (the narrowed design of the upper side shell 151 forms an inclined surface). It will not accumulate at the top of the side shell 10, thereby accelerating the discharge of rainwater and avoiding rainwater accumulation.

[0059] In addition, the upper side shell 151 and the lower side shell 152 are designed with a narrow opening, which makes the cross-section of the entire lamp housing 10 trapezoidal. This also makes the bending stiffness of the entire lamp housing 10 higher. That is, if the lamp housing 10 is subjected to external force during vehicle operation, such as a small stone hitting the side shell 15, the narrowed upper side shell 151 and the lower side shell 152 can disperse the impact force and prevent the side shell 15 from being deformed outward or inward.

[0060] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment of this application, the lampshade 20 includes an outer cover 21 and an inner insert 22.

[0061] The outer cover 21 covers the side opening 10b, forming a physical barrier to prevent rainwater, dust, and small stones from entering the inner cavity 10a of the lamp housing 10 through the side opening 10b, thus avoiding short circuits or rusting of the internal bulb and circuit board, ensuring the normal operation of the core components of the lamp 200, and the light is mainly emitted through the outer cover 21.

[0062] The insert 22 is located inside the outer cover 21 and protrudes from the outer cover 21. The insert 22 is located on the top of the outer cover 21 and is installed in the mounting position. That is, the insert 22 directly connects the outer cover 21 and the lamp housing 10. Its position (top of the outer cover 21) corresponds completely to the mounting position (top) of the lamp housing 10. It can form a convex-concave fit structure with the first mounting position 10c to ensure that the lamp cover 20 and the lamp housing 10 are accurately aligned and avoid misalignment during assembly.

[0063] When assembling the lampshade 20 and the lamp housing 10, the inner insert 22 and the outer cover 21 can be pre-assembled to form a complete lampshade 20. Then, the inner insert 22 is connected to the first mounting position 10c of the lamp housing 10. Compared with the outer cover 21 directly connecting to the first mounting position 10c, the pre-assembled lampshade 20 component is more precisely positioned, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments to the position of the outer cover 21, resulting in higher assembly efficiency.

[0064] Furthermore, the outer cover 21 is a hard plastic component, and the inner insert 22 is a soft plastic component. The hard and soft plastic components are manufactured using a two-color injection molding process, forming an integral structure. The bonding force is much greater than that of glue or snap fasteners. With long-term use (such as high-frequency vibration or temperature changes), it is difficult for the inner insert to separate from the outer cover, ensuring a stable connection. In particular, in this embodiment, the inner insert serves as a top load-bearing and fixing component, preventing the lampshade from sagging due to connection failure. This method is more robust and airtight than traditional assembly methods such as glue bonding or snap fastener fixing.

[0065] The hard plastic parts are rigid and weather-resistant, able to withstand rain and small stone impacts, protecting the inner cavity 10a of the lamp housing 10; at the same time, they have high light transmittance and do not affect the illumination of the lamp 200. The soft plastic parts are elastic and malleable. When welded to the first mounting position 10c of the lamp housing 10, they can fill the connection gap through slight deformation to form a tight seal, preventing rainwater from seeping in. At the same time, the soft plastic parts have cushioning properties, which can absorb the impact of vehicle vibration on the connection position and avoid breakage caused by direct collision of the hard plastic parts.

[0066] In addition, there may be slight errors in the dimensions of the mounting slot 100a and the lamp housing 10, such as machining tolerances. The elasticity of the soft rubber can deform slightly to compensate for installation errors, which ensures that the insert 22 can smoothly cooperate with the first mounting position 10c without causing structural deformation due to forced assembly.

[0067] Furthermore, the embedded part 22 is a light-shielding part. Based on the fact that the embedded part 22 in this embodiment is located at the edge of the inner side of the outer cover 21, the light can be shielded by the embedded part 22. When targeting the vehicle taillight, it is ensured that the light only shines to the rear and does not scatter to other vehicle lights, thus avoiding disorderly light leakage.

[0068] In addition, the embedded part 22 combines elasticity and light-shielding function into one, eliminating the need for additional independent light-shielding structures such as light-shielding plates or light-shielding strips, which greatly simplifies the internal layout of the lamp 200 and can also reduce costs to some extent.

[0069] In another embodiment of this application, the outer cover 21 is arched away from the lamp housing 10. The arched arc surface has no dead corners, which allows rainwater to flow down the arc more quickly, further enhancing the rainproof capability of the lamp 200.

[0070] Please see Figure 4 It is understandable that the top of the outer cover 21 extends into the mounting groove 100a. In this way, when rainwater flows down along the vehicle body 100, it will fall directly onto the outer surface of the outer cover 21 under the action of gravity. Since the outer surface of the outer cover 21 is arched, rainwater can flow down quickly through the outer cover 21 and is unlikely to flow into the first mounting position 10c, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the lamp 200.

[0071] In addition, the arched shape of the outer cover 21 can evenly distribute external forces (such as the impact force of stones and the impact force of high-pressure water guns) throughout the entire outer cover 21, rather than concentrating them at a certain point. Therefore, it can greatly improve its rigidity and resistance to external forces, and significantly enhance its resistance to fracture and deformation.

[0072] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of this application shall still fall within the scope of this application.
