Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive lighting technology, and in particular to a through-type taillight guide connector buckle that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] A continuous taillight is a lighting system that integrates the taillights into a single unit. It is aesthetically pleasing, technologically advanced, and highly recognizable, and has become increasingly popular in automotive design in recent years. By connecting the left and right taillights, a continuous taillight enhances the visual width of the rear of the vehicle, making it appear more stable and imposing. This design is also more visible at night, improving driving safety.

[0003] Traditional full-width taillight guides typically use a thin light guide strip spanning the entire width of the rear of the vehicle, combined with multiple LED light sources to achieve a uniform dynamic lighting effect. However, the injection mold for a one-piece, ultra-long (often exceeding 1.5 meters) thin-walled light guide is extremely large and complex, requiring very high tonnage and injection range from the injection molding machine. During production, defects such as incomplete injection molding, warping, and stress concentration are prone to occur, resulting in low yield rates and high unit costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an easy-to-install through-type taillight guide connector buckle, which can change the traditional one-piece molded taillight guide into a combination of multiple short taillight guides, making it easier to injection mold the taillight guide and reducing the difficulty of injection molding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a conveniently installed through-type taillight guide connector is provided, comprising a light guide body with a through-reflective cavity. Connecting sleeves and connecting plugs are respectively fitted at both ends of the light guide body, with the connecting plugs insertable into the connecting sleeves. Several latching components are equidistantly installed on the back of the light guide body. Two symmetrical installation channels are formed on the surface of the connecting sleeves, each containing an elastic buckle plate with protrusions facing inwards from the connecting sleeves. The connecting plug has grooves on its surface to accommodate these protrusions. One side of the light guide body is connected to the vehicle body, and the latching components penetrate the vehicle body to mount the light guide body to it. A sleeve is located on the side of the vehicle body away from the light guide body, and the latching components pass through the middle of the vehicle body. This design transforms the traditional one-piece taillight guide into a combination of multiple short taillight guides, facilitating injection molding production of the taillight guides and reducing injection molding difficulty.

[0006] According to the aforementioned easy-to-install through-type taillight guide connection buckle, the buckle assembly consists of a base, a guide post, and an elastic cantilever. One end of the base is fixedly connected to the light guide body, and the guide post is fixedly connected to the middle of the end of the base away from the light guide body. Two receiving grooves are symmetrically opened on the surface of the guide post. The elastic cantilever is installed at the end of the receiving groove facing the base. In the free state, the elastic cantilever protrudes outward to form a barb structure. When under pressure, it can retract into the receiving groove, pass through the sleeve, return to its original shape, and abut against the end of the sleeve.

[0007] According to the aforementioned easy-to-install through-type taillight guide connection buckle, the end of the guide post away from the base has a tapered structure. This guides the buckle assembly to quickly enter the sleeve.

[0008] According to the aforementioned easy-to-install through-type taillight light guide connection clip, the light guide body and the clip assembly are integrally injection molded, ensuring the connection strength between the light guide body and the clip assembly.

[0009] According to the aforementioned easy-to-install through-type taillight guide connector, the connecting sleeve, connecting plug, and elastic buckle are made of transparent acrylic material. This avoids obstructing the light emitted from the connection point of the two taillight guides.

[0010] According to the aforementioned easy-to-install through-type taillight guide connecting clip, the inner wall of the reflective cavity is provided with a diffusion texture. This is used to disperse the light passing through the taillight guide in a designated direction, achieving overall illumination of the taillight guide.

[0011] According to the aforementioned easy-to-install through-type taillight guide connector, a sealing ring is provided between the connecting sleeve and the connecting plug. This increases the sealing performance at the connection point of the two connected taillight guides.

[0012] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects: 1. The connecting sleeve and the connecting plug cooperate with the elastic buckle and the groove to connect multiple light guide bodies to form a complete taillight light guide, which reduces the mold volume and injection molding machine tonnage used in the production of taillight light guides. At the same time, the connection between the light guide bodies is stable and easy to disassemble.

[0013] 2. The snap-fit ​​assembly allows for quick and easy installation of the taillight guide by simply inserting the guide post into the body and sleeve. The flexible suspension automatically retracts and locks in place, requiring no tools.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description
