Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology. Background Technology
[0002] The existing license plate light, located above the trunk lid, is mainly used to illuminate the license plate at night or in low light conditions. It is separate from the trunk opening and closing mechanism, which increases the overall vehicle manufacturing cost and also limits the internal space layout of the parts. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to reduce the overall vehicle manufacturing cost and increase the space for adjustable layout of interior parts, this utility model provides an integrated trunk switch license plate light.
[0004] An integrated trunk switch license plate light includes a housing 1. A circuit board 2 is riveted and assembled inside the housing. The circuit board is used to connect to the vehicle body to realize light source control and trunk switch signal transmission. A light source 3 and a button 4 are installed on the outer side of the circuit board 2. A light distribution lens 5 is fixed on the housing near the light source 3. A switch 6 is embedded in the position of the light distribution lens 5 facing the button 4, and an elastic support rib 601 extends upward to abut against the housing. When the switch 6 is pressed, the button 4 is pressed, and the trunk opens after transmitting the trunk switch signal.
[0005] Technical effects:
[0006] This invention integrates the trunk switch into the license plate light, achieving a unified assembly structure. This not only reduces the assembly process of one part in the overall vehicle assembly, saving installation time, but also lowers manufacturing costs. Furthermore, it increases the adjustable space for the layout of vehicle parts, making it applicable to various vehicle models with no restrictions on installation location.

[0012] The components include: 1. Housing, 2. Circuit board, 3. Light source, 4. Button, 5. Lens, 6. Switch, 601. Elastic support rib, 101. Limiting rib, 102. Wiring harness structure, and 103. Clip structure. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The technical solution will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort using the embodiments of this invention are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0014] Taking the outward-facing side of the vehicle body as the outer side, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this is an internal structural assembly diagram of this embodiment. The circuit board 2 is riveted inside the housing 1. The main circuit of the circuit board 2 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the circuit board 2 is used to connect with the vehicle body to realize the control of the light source and the transmission of the trunk opening and closing signal. The light source 3 and the button 4 are installed on the outward side of the circuit board 2. A light distribution lens 5 is fixed on the housing 1 near the light source 3. The switch 6 is embedded in the position of the light distribution lens 5 facing the button 4, and an elastic support rib 601 extends upward to abut against the housing 1. When the switch 6 is pressed, the button 4 is pressed down, and the trunk opens after transmitting the trunk opening and closing signal.
[0015] The housing 1 is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 provides shielding for the internal circuit board 2, switch 6, and lens 5, preventing exposure of the internal components and protecting them from external impacts. It also avoids safety issues arising from exposed internal components. The material is, for example, one or a combination of polycarbonate, polypropylene, or acrylic. One side of the housing 1 has a limiting rib 101 and a wiring harness structure 102, while the other side has an integrally formed snap-fit structure 103. When installing onto the vehicle body, the signal transmission line is first inserted into the wiring harness structure 102 and connected to the pins on the internal circuit board 2. Then, the side with the limiting rib 101 is first snapped into place with the vehicle body, and finally, the snap-fit structure 103 is pushed in to fix the license plate light to the vehicle body.
[0016] The light distribution lens 5 is fixedly assembled to the housing 1 by ultrasonic welding. The light distribution lens 5 is light-transmitting facing outward and may have a light distribution pattern. The exposed part of the switch 6 on the light distribution lens 5 can be protected by a black TPE sleeve to prevent external impact.
[0017] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the housing 1 has an internal mounting groove in which the rotating part of the switch is engaged; and the housing 1 also has reinforcing ribs inside, which enhance the internal strength of the housing 1 and limit the operating stroke of the switch.
[0018] The operating force of the switch 6 is 7N±1N, the operating stroke is 1.35mm±0.3mm, and the amount of shaking is less than or equal to 0.2mm.
