Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive lighting technology, and in particular to a lighting device and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with technological advancements, car headlights are becoming increasingly unique in design, and intelligent and anthropomorphic features are gaining popularity. Eyes are the windows to the soul, and blinking enhances a person's personality and vitality. As the eyes of a vehicle, headlights that "blink" are bound to be more appealing to users.

[0003] Existing headlights with a "blinking" function mostly achieve this mechanically through rotation, simply blocking or opening the high and low beam modules. The current requirement is for headlights with a "blinking" function to simultaneously function as signal lights when the high and low beam modules are blocked. According to headlight design specifications, the emitted light from a headlight should remain parallel to the horizontal plane when the headlight "blinks." Therefore, a lighting device needs to be designed that allows the headlight to function as a signal light while the high and low beam modules are blocked, without the signal light itself flipping or the light emission direction remaining unchanged.

The control mechanism is disposed on at least one side of the first actuator and the second actuator. At least one of the first actuator and the second actuator is provided with a first optical function module. An accommodating space for accommodating a second optical function module is formed between the first actuator and the second actuator. The first actuator and the second actuator are configured to move away from or closer to each other under the action of the control mechanism, so as to switch between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the closed configuration, the first actuator and the second actuator move closer to each other to achieve the first light function and block the second light function module. In the open configuration, the first actuator and the second actuator move further apart from each other so that the light emitted from the second light function module is transmitted to the outside to achieve the second light function. During the transition between the open and closed configurations, the light emission direction of the first optical functional module remains consistent.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0022] To keep the drawings concise, only the parts related to this utility model are shown schematically in each drawing, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. In addition, to make the drawings concise and easy to understand, in some drawings, only one of the components with the same structure or function is shown schematically, or only one of them is labeled.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a first aspect of the present invention provides a lighting device, including a control mechanism 2 and a first actuator 11 and a second actuator 12 arranged at intervals. The control mechanism 2 is disposed on at least one side of the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12. At least one of the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12 is provided with a first light function module, and a receiving space for accommodating a second light function module is formed between the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12. The first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12 are configured to move away from or closer to each other under the action of the control mechanism 2, so as to switch between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the closed configuration, the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12 move closer to each other to achieve the first light function and block the second light function module. In the open configuration, the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12 move further apart from each other so that the light emitted from the second light function module is transmitted to the outside to achieve the second light function. During the transition between the open and closed configurations, the light emission direction of the first light function module remains consistent.

[0024] By switching back and forth between the open and closed configurations, the second light function module switches between emitting light outside the lighting device and having the light blocked by the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12, thereby achieving an effect similar to "blinking". During the switching between the open and closed configurations, the light emission direction of the first light function module remains consistent. Therefore, while achieving the "blinking" effect, the first light function module can simultaneously maintain the normal operation of the signal light function.

[0025] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the lighting device, the upper actuator is the first actuator 11, the lower actuator is the second actuator 12, the main structure on the left is the control mechanism 2, and the main structure on the right is the remote support 5 and the limiting component 3 provided on the remote support 5 (the specific structure is as follows). Figure 2 and Figure 3 (As shown).

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the control mechanism 2 includes a proximal support 21, a drive mechanism 22, and a proximal control member 23 corresponding to the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12. The drive mechanism 22 is connected to the proximal support 21. The proximal control members 23 are respectively arranged on both sides of the drive mechanism 22 in the vertical direction, and the proximal control members 23 are respectively connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 22. The proximal control members 23 are used to convert the movement of the drive mechanism 22 in the front-back direction into driving the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12 to swing and maintain the light output direction of the first optical function module in the swing process.

[0027] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 for Figure 1 In the left view, the proximal control element 23 includes a drive swing arm, the rotating end of which is connected to a bearing assembly 4 (such as...). Figure 9 , Figure 7 As shown, the bearing pin 41 (which mates with the bearing cover 42) is rotatably connected to the first actuator 11 or the second actuator 12. Specifically, a single proximal control element 23 includes two drive arms arranged parallel to each other in the front-rear direction. The rotating ends of the drive arms are rotatably connected to the first actuator 11 or the second actuator 12 via bearing assemblies 4 (the bearing pin 41 mates with the bearing cover 42). Further, as... Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the swing gear end of the driving swing arm is provided with a gear segment 7, which is rotatably connected to the proximal support 21 via a bearing assembly 4 at its center. Among them, with... Figure 2 For example, when the two drive arms on the first actuator 11 are in the extended state, they are located on the same vertical line or on parallel vertical lines with the two drive arms on the second actuator 12, so as to achieve synchronous swinging.

[0028] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 14 As shown, the drive mechanism 22 includes a drive unit 221 and a sliding rack 222. Specifically, the sliding rack 222 includes a slider 2221, extension bars disposed at both ends of the slider 2221, and a guide block 2223 and a transmission block 2224 disposed in the middle of the slider 2221. The extension bars are provided with rack segments 2222, which mesh with gear segments 7 in the proximal control member 23 on the proximal support 21 side.

[0029] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, a limiting groove 213 is provided on the proximal support 21 at a position corresponding to the guide block 2223 and the transmission block 2224. In a specific implementation, the sliding rack 222 is disposed on the outside of the proximal support 21, and the guide block 2223 and the transmission block 2224 pass through the limiting groove 213.

[0030] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 4 , Figure 11As shown, the proximal support 21 is further provided with a fixing plate 211 and a motor plate 214. The drive unit 221 includes a motor 2211 fixedly mounted on the motor plate 214 and a screw 2212 fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 2211. The end of the screw 2212 not connected to the motor 2211 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 211. Further, in order to facilitate a more stable sliding guide for the guide block 2223, a guide post 212 is provided on at least one side of the screw 2212. The two ends of the guide post 212 are respectively connected to the fixing plate 211 and the motor plate 214. For example, a guide post 212 is provided on each of the upper and lower sides of the screw 2212, and the two ends of the two guide posts 212 are respectively connected to the fixing plate 211 and the motor plate 214.

[0031] Furthermore, the transmission block 2224 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread on the screw 2212, and the screw 2212 and the transmission block 2224 mesh with each other; the guide block 2223 is provided with a guide hole that matches the guide post 212, and the guide post 212 passes through the guide hole. Specifically, the external thread of the screw 2212 can mesh with the internal thread of the transmission block 2224 and can rotate relative to each other, and the two guide posts 212 are respectively passed through the guide holes on the guide block 2223 and can slide relative to each other.

[0032] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 for Figure 1 The right view shows that the lighting device includes a remote support 5 and at least one set of remote synchronizing elements 6. Each remote synchronizing element 6 includes two meshing synchronized swing arms. The rotating end of each synchronized swing arm is rotatably connected to either the first actuator 11 or the second actuator 12. The synchronized gear ends of the synchronized swing arms are rotatably connected to the remote support 5. For example, the lighting device includes a remote support 5 and two sets of remote synchronizing elements 6 arranged at intervals. Each set of remote synchronizing elements 6 includes two synchronized swing arms arranged vertically. The rotating end of each synchronized swing arm is rotatably connected to either the first actuator 11 or the second actuator 12 via a bearing assembly 4. The synchronized gear ends of the synchronized swing arms mesh with each other and are rotatably connected to the remote support 5. Different sets of remote synchronizing elements 6 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0033] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lighting device also includes a limiting component 3, which includes a limiting block 32 and an arc-shaped groove 31 disposed on the distal bracket 5. One end of the limiting block 32 is connected to the first actuator 11 or the second actuator 12, and the other end of the limiting block 32 matches the arc-shaped groove 31 and can move within the arc-shaped groove 31. Specifically, as... Figure 3As shown, in the open configuration of the lighting device, the other end of the limiting block 32 passes through the arc-shaped groove 31 and is located at the bottom end of the arc-shaped groove 31. The arc-shaped groove 31 limits the movement of the limiting block 32. Simultaneously, since the limiting block 32 is connected to the first actuator 11 or the second actuator 12, it also limits the movement of the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12. Of course, in the closed configuration of the lighting device, the other end of the limiting block is located at the top end of the arc-shaped groove 31. The arc-shaped groove 31 also limits the movement of the limiting block 32, and thus limits the movement of the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12.

[0034] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the front sidewall of the first actuator 11 and / or the second actuator 12 is provided with a mounting surface 13, and the first optical function module is mounted on the mounting surface 13. Specifically, the light emission direction of the first optical function module is forward. The mounting surface 13 is provided on the front sidewall of at least one of the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12, so that the first optical function module can be directly mounted on the mounting surface 13. Then, through the movement of the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12, the first optical function module can change its position between an open configuration and a closed configuration to realize the first optical function or the second optical function.

[0035] It should be noted that, in another embodiment, the first actuator 11 and / or the second actuator 12 do not have front sidewalls, and the first optical functional module is directly connected to both sides of the first actuator 11 and / or the second actuator 12. This utility model does not limit the connection method between the first optical functional module and the first actuator 11 and / or the second actuator 12.

[0036] The working principle or process of the lighting device provided by this utility model is as follows: When the lighting device needs to be switched from an on configuration to an off configuration: the forward drive motor 2211 drives the screw 2212 to rotate in the forward direction. The screw 2212 engages with the guide block 2223 in the middle of the sliding rack 222 to generate a driving force that propels the guide block 2223 toward the motor 2211. Under the action of the driving force, the entire sliding rack 222 translates along the guide post 212 toward the motor 2211. At the same time, the rack segment 2222 exerts a force on the gear segment 7 of the drive swing arm on the same side toward the motor 2211. Since the rack segment 2222 meshes with the swing gear end of the drive swing arm... Furthermore, the rotating end of the drive swing arm is rotatably connected to the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12. Therefore, the entire drive swing arm rotates in the direction away from the motor 2211 with the bearing assembly 4 at the end of the swing gear as the center, thereby driving the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12 to move closer to each other. During this process, the second actuator 12 drives the synchronous swing arm on the far end bracket 5 to rotate in the direction away from the motor 2211 with the bearing assembly 4 at the end of the synchronous gear as the center. In addition, the limiting block 32 slides along the arc groove 31 toward the top of the arc groove 31 during the process of the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12 moving closer to each other, thereby realizing the closed configuration of the lighting device.

[0037] Similarly, when the lighting device needs to be switched from a closed configuration to an open configuration: the reverse drive motor 2211 drives the screw 2212 to rotate in the opposite direction. The screw 2212 engages with the guide block 2223 in the middle of the sliding rack 222 to generate a driving force that causes the guide block 2223 to move away from the direction of the motor 2211. Under the action of the driving force, the entire sliding rack 222 translates along the guide post 212 in a direction away from the motor 2211. At the same time, the rack segment 2222 generates a force on the gear segment 7 of the drive swing arm on the same side in a direction away from the motor 2211. Due to the interaction between the rack segment 2222 and the swing gear end of the drive swing arm... The rotating end of the drive swing arm is rotatably connected to the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12. Therefore, the entire drive swing arm rotates towards the motor 2211 with the bearing assembly 4 at the end of the swing gear as the center, thereby causing the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12 to move away from each other. During this process, the second actuator 12 drives the synchronous swing arm on the far end bracket 5 to rotate towards the motor 2211 with the bearing assembly 4 at the end of the synchronous gear as the center. As the first actuator 11 and the second actuator 12 move away from each other, the limiting block 32 slides along the arc groove 31 toward the bottom end of the arc groove 31, thereby realizing the opening configuration of the lighting device.

[0038] The second aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle equipped with a lighting device as provided in the first aspect of this utility model. The lighting device is connected to the vehicle control system via electrical signals. After receiving a "blinking" command from the vehicle control system, the lighting device switches between an on and off configuration to achieve a personalized "blinking" effect.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
