Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive lighting technology, specifically to a vehicle lamp structure that adopts a modular assembly method, facilitating maintenance and replacement. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional automotive headlights typically employ an integrated assembly design. The entire headlight assembly, including high and low beams, daytime running lights, position lights, turn signals, and external trim covers, is sealed or irreversibly assembled into a single unit. This design offers high assembly efficiency on the production line, but it has significant drawbacks: High maintenance costs: When a part of the headlight (such as an optical module, lamp cover or decorative part) is damaged due to collision or aging, it is often necessary to replace the entire headlight assembly, resulting in unnecessary waste of materials and high maintenance costs. Users cannot repair it themselves: The integrated design usually involves professional tools, sealant and complicated disassembly and assembly process. Ordinary users cannot replace parts without damaging other intact parts and must rely on professional repair institutions. Poor assembly flexibility: Different overall molds need to be developed for different models or configurations, which increases development costs and time.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a vehicle lighting solution that can reduce maintenance costs, simplify the assembly process, and allow users or maintenance personnel to quickly replace partially damaged modules. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a vehicle light based on modular assembly, which has low maintenance cost and is easy to disassemble and assemble.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a modularly assembled vehicle light, including a first vehicle light module, a second vehicle light module, a first decorative frame for decorating the first vehicle light module, and a second decorative frame for decorating the second vehicle light module; the first vehicle light module is fixed to the mounting base by bolts, the second decorative frame is pre-fixed to the second vehicle light module by clips, the second vehicle light module is fixed to the mounting base by bolts, the first decorative frame is fixed to the second vehicle light module by clips, and the second vehicle light module is provided with a light-transmitting hole for the first vehicle light module to be exposed.
[0006] As an improvement, the first vehicle light module includes a metal bracket and high and low beam optical modules mounted on the metal bracket. The metal bracket is provided with a first mounting foot, which is fixed to the mounting base by bolts.
[0007] As an improvement, the second headlight module includes a plastic bracket and a daytime running / position / turning light optical module mounted on the plastic bracket. The plastic bracket is provided with a second mounting foot, which is fixed to the mounting base by bolts.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are: 1. Significantly reduce maintenance costs: It enables partial replacement of damaged parts, so users do not need to pay for the replacement of the entire headlight assembly for the damage of a small part; 2. Easy Assembly and Maintenance: The clear modular design and standard "bolt + snap-fit" interface make the assembly process extremely efficient in both production lines and maintenance scenarios. In particular, the snap-fit connection method greatly simplifies the disassembly and assembly of decorative parts; 3. User-friendly operation: Clear module boundaries and simple connection methods (clips, bolts) enable users with basic hands-on skills to purchase and replace damaged modules themselves according to the instructions, reducing the maintenance threshold and time cost; 4. Enhanced design flexibility: Modular design allows for the independent development and optimization of various functional modules and decorative parts, facilitating rapid model changes and configuration differentiation. Attached Figure Description
[0009] Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0010] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0011] like Figure 1 As shown, a modularly assembled vehicle light mainly includes a first vehicle light module 1, a second vehicle light module 2, a first decorative frame 3, and a second decorative frame 4.
[0012] like Figure 1 As shown, the first headlight module 1 is the core lighting module, which in this embodiment is the high and low beam headlight module. It includes a metal bracket 11 on which the high and low beam optical modules 12 are fixed. The metal bracket 11 extends into a first mounting foot 13. During assembly, bolts are used to pass through the first mounting foot 13 to firmly fix it to the mounting base of the vehicle body or the rear cover of the headlight. The metal material ensures the structural stability and heat dissipation requirements of this core module under long-term high-power operation.
[0013] like Figure 1As shown, the second headlight module 2 is a module integrating multiple auxiliary lighting functions. In this embodiment, it integrates an optical module 22 for daytime running lights, position lights, and turn signals. It uses a plastic bracket 21, which is low-cost and easy to mold into complex structures. The plastic bracket 21 also has second mounting feet 23. During assembly, bolts are used to pass through the second mounting feet 23 to firmly fix it to the mounting base of the vehicle body or the rear cover of the headlight. A light-transmitting hole 24 is provided in the area facing the first headlight module 1. Before assembly, the second decorative frame 4 is pre-fixed to a specific position on the plastic bracket 21 by means of its snap-fit structure.
[0014] During the assembly process, the first headlight module 1 is first fixed with bolts; then, the second headlight module 2, which is pre-installed with the second decorative frame 4, is fixed as a whole to the mounting base with its second mounting foot 23 by bolts; at this time, the light emitted by the first headlight module 1 passes through the light-transmitting hole 24; finally, the first decorative frame 3 is fastened to the pre-set snap-fit point on the outside of the second headlight module 2 through the snap-fit structure on it, completing the final appearance encapsulation.
[0015] When any module is damaged, simply reverse the steps above to accurately disassemble and replace the damaged module without altering other functional modules.
