Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of lighting devices fixed inside a vehicle, and more specifically to a front reading light. Background Technology

[0002] Reading lights, as an important component of automotive interiors, are primarily used to provide illumination for drivers and passengers when the interior lighting is insufficient. Their functionality and structural design directly impact user experience and assembly efficiency. In existing reading light manufacturing and assembly processes, to meet core functional requirements such as lighting and switch control, multiple functional panel components, including light-transmitting panels and button panels, typically need to be manufactured separately. The light-transmitting panels ensure effective light transmission, while the button panels integrate various control buttons (such as sunroof control switches, SOS calls, and E-call smart customer service calls) to enable functional operation.

[0003] From an assembly process perspective, current technology requires first fixing a larger base panel onto the reading lamp's base shell, and then assembling several smaller functional panels one by one with the base panel to complete positioning and connection. These smaller functional panels include independent button panels, function label panels, and light-transmitting panels. This modular panel design and step-by-step assembly method significantly increases the number of components in the overall reading lamp, not only raising the costs of mold development and component processing but also extending the assembly time.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-6 This application proposes an embodiment of the front reading light, which includes a rear cover 10, a lamp housing 20, a base panel 30, and a function panel 40. The upper end of the lamp housing 20 is provided with a first receiving cavity 21 and / or a second receiving cavity 22. The first receiving cavity 21 is used to install the lighting fixture assembly 70, and the second receiving cavity 22 is used to install the function button module. The base panel 30 is installed on the upper end of the lamp housing 20, and the base panel 30 is provided with an opening 35 corresponding to the first receiving cavity 21 and the second receiving cavity 22. The function panel 40 is disposed in the corresponding opening 35 in the second receiving cavity 22. The rear cover 10 is installed on the lower end of the lamp housing 20, and a circuit board 50 is disposed between the rear cover 10 and the lower end of the lamp housing 20. The circuit board 50 is provided with a light-emitting element 60, and the circuit board 50 is electrically connected to the lighting fixture assembly 70 and the function button module, respectively.

[0021] The front reading light utilizes a modular, partitioned design, integrating the lighting and lighting switch onto the lighting socket assembly 70. The lighting socket assembly 70 and the function button module are then integrated into the first receiving cavity 21 and the second receiving cavity 22 on the upper end of the lamp housing 20, respectively. The base panel 30 serves as the exterior and positioning carrier, exposing the internal functional components through corresponding openings 35, achieving both aesthetic integration and button exposure. The function button module can be used for functions such as sunroof control, SOS call, and E-call smart customer service call.

[0022] By integrating the lighting and lighting switch into the lighting base assembly 70, compared to the traditional reading lamp design that requires a light-transmitting panel and a lighting switch panel for the lighting function, the number of panels is reduced, the number of function panels 40 is decreased, and the lighting base assembly 70 can be directly installed on the lamp housing 20, reducing assembly steps and improving the assembly efficiency of the front reading lamp.

[0023] In this embodiment, the lighting fixture assembly 70 includes a lampshade 71, a reflector bowl 72, a light guide strip 73, and a button base 74. The button base 74 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity. The reflector bowl 72 is disposed within the button base 74, and a light inlet is provided at the lower end of the reflector bowl 72. The lamp housing 20 and the button base 74 are provided with through holes 75, which communicate with the light inlet to form a light guide channel. The light guide strip 73 is disposed within the light guide channel, with its two ends located within the light inlet and above the light-emitting element 60, respectively. The lampshade 71 is connected to the button base 74 and covers the upper end of the reflector bowl 72. The lower end of the button base 74 is provided with a first contact point 76. The lamp housing 20 is provided with a through hole that matches the first contact point 76. The circuit board 50 is provided with a second contact point.

[0024] An elastic element is provided between the button base 74 and the lamp housing 20. When an external force presses the button base 74, it overcomes the elastic tension of the elastic element and moves downward until the first contact point 76 and the second contact point make contact. The circuit board 50 then lights up the light-emitting element 60. After the external force is removed, the button base 74 moves upward under the action of the elastic element.

[0025] The button base 74 can move up and down within the receiving cavity; the light-emitting element 60 generates light, which is transmitted through the light guide strip 73 to the light inlet at the lower end of the reflector bowl 72. After being reflected by the reflector bowl 72, the light is emitted from the lamp cover 71 to achieve illumination; pressing the lamp cover 71 causes the button base 74 to move down, and the first contact 76 at the lower end of the button base 74 passes through the through hole of the lamp housing 20 and contacts the second contact on the circuit board 50, triggering the circuit to open and close, thus realizing the button control of the lighting function.

[0026] Preferably, the lamp housing 20 is further provided with a third receiving cavity 23, which is used to install a microphone module 80. The base panel 30 is also provided with a speaker hole 31. By adding a third receiving cavity 23 to the lamp housing 20 to specifically integrate the microphone module 80, and correspondingly providing a speaker hole 31 on the base panel 30, the microphone module 80 can collect in-vehicle sound signals through the speaker hole 31 and establish an electrical connection with the circuit board 50, thus enabling the front reading light to expand its voice interaction function in addition to illumination.

[0027] In this embodiment, the base panel 30 and the lamp housing 20 are detachably connected. The base panel 30 can be separated from the lamp housing 20 without any destructive operation, which facilitates the disassembly of the base panel 30. Disassembling the base panel 30 allows for the maintenance of components such as the lighting socket assembly 70 and the function button module inside the lamp housing 20.

[0028] Specifically, the upper end of the lamp housing 20 is provided with multiple positioning posts 24, and the lower end of the base panel 30 is provided with clamping arms 32 that match the multiple positioning posts 24. Each clamping arm 32 is provided with a clamping slot 33 that matches the positioning post 24 at its lower end. The multiple positioning posts 24 can be inserted into the corresponding clamping slots 33 to achieve a detachable connection between the base panel 30 and the lamp housing 20.

[0029] The positioning post 24 at the upper end of the lamp housing 20 forms a mating structure with the clamp 33. During installation, the positioning post 24 is aligned with the clamp 33 at the lower end of the clamping arm 32 and inserted. The clamp 33 elastically clamps the positioning post 24, achieving quick positioning and detachable connection between the base panel 30 and the lamp housing 20. During disassembly, the positioning post 24 is pulled out of the clamp 33 to separate the two. The matching design of the positioning post 24 and the clamp 33 ensures the alignment accuracy between the base panel 30 and the lamp housing 20 during installation, preventing misalignment between the opening 35 and the receiving cavity.

[0030] Preferably, a plurality of positioning posts 24 are disposed in the middle of the lower end of the lamp housing 20, and the plurality of positioning posts 24 are collinearly distributed.

[0031] Multiple positioning posts 24 are concentrated in the middle of the lower end of the lamp housing 20 and are distributed along the same line. The clamping arms 32 at the lower end of the base panel 30 are arranged along the same line, so that the clamping force of the clamping arms 32 on the positioning posts 24 is concentrated in the middle of the lamp housing 20 and distributed along the same straight line, forming a symmetrical force structure.

[0032] When it is necessary to disassemble the base panel 30, press any side of the base panel 30. The base panel 30 will generate rotational torque with the positioning posts 24 distributed in the middle as the rotation axis. At this time, the other side of the base panel 30 will be raised and higher than the upper end of the lamp housing 20, which makes it convenient for manual insertion of plastic sheet between the lamp housing 20 and the base panel 30 to lift and disassemble the base panel 30, thus improving the convenience of disassembly.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lower end of the base panel 30 is provided with an elastic telescopic member 34, and the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic member 34 abuts against one side of the lamp housing 20.

[0034] In this embodiment, the elastic telescopic member 34 at the lower end of the base panel 30 is adapted to the rotational disassembly structure with the positioning post 24 as the rotation axis. The elastic telescopic member 34 is preset at the lower end of the side of the base panel 30 that is prone to lifting. Under normal conditions, the elastic telescopic member 34 is in a pre-compressed state, with the telescopic end abutting against one side of the lamp housing 20 and applying a continuous elastic pre-tightening force, so that the base panel 30 and the lamp housing 20 fit tightly together, avoiding loosening or abnormal noise caused by vehicle vibration. When the other side of the base panel 30 is pressed to trigger the rotation around the positioning post 24, a disassembly gap is formed between the lifted side and the lamp housing 20. After rotating to a preset angle, the telescopic rod 335 of the elastic telescopic member 34 will extend and stably clamp between the lamp housing 20 and the base panel 30, forming a rigid support. At this time, the telescopic rod 335 can be used as a force fulcrum. External force can be directly applied to the telescopic rod 335 or separated from the lamp housing 20 by using the gap supported by the telescopic rod 335.

[0035] Preferably, the side of the elastic telescopic member 34 that abuts against the lamp housing 20 is an inclined surface, and the lower end of the inclined surface is inclined away from the lamp housing 20.

[0036] When installing the base panel 30, the lamp housing 20 contacts the inclined surface and slides along the inclined surface. The inclined surface guides and automatically compresses the elastic telescopic component 34, so that the base panel 30 can be smoothly pressed onto the upper end of the lamp housing 20 and accurately engaged with the positioning post 24.

[0037] Specifically, the elastic telescopic component 34 includes a spring and a telescopic rod 335. The telescopic rod 335 is horizontally slidably mounted on the lower end of the base panel 30. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the telescopic rod 335 and the base panel 30. The base panel 30 is provided with a sliding groove that matches the telescopic rod 335. The telescopic rod 335 is disposed in the sliding groove to ensure that the telescopic rod 335 can extend and retract horizontally. Under normal conditions, the spring is in a pre-compressed state, with its two ends abutting against the telescopic rod 335 and the base panel 30 respectively, providing a continuous and controllable elastic force to the telescopic rod 335. During assembly, the lamp housing 20 presses the sliding end of the telescopic rod 335 to move along the inclined plane, and the spring is simultaneously compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the base panel 30 is disassembled and pressed, the spring releases its potential energy, pushing the telescopic rod 335 to slide.

[0038] Positioning blocks 25 are respectively provided on opposite sides inside the lamp housing 20. The upper end of the positioning block 25 on one side of the lamp housing 20 is curved, and the curved surface is coaxially distributed with the positioning post 24. The curved surface supports the lower end of the base panel 30. The positioning block 25 limits the base panel 30 to ensure the stability of the installation structure of the base panel 30. The curved surface design ensures the installation stability of the base panel 30. On the other hand, after one side of the base panel 30 is pressed, the base panel 30 can rotate along the curved surface.

[0039] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
