[0025] In this way, the housing 200 can protect the light-emitting component 300 to a certain degree by enclosing the light-emitting component 300 through the receiving space 410; the light-emitting component 300 can emit light through the opening of the receiving space 410, so that the light-emitting component 300 can be used to realize the lighting function of the outside of the vehicle main body 100;The housing 200 is connected to the vehicle main body 100 via the mounting plate 400, thereby increasing the contact area between the housing 200 and the vehicle main body 100 to make the connection between the housing 200 and the vehicle main body 100 more stable, and wherein the housing 200 and the light-emitting component 300 are detachably connected to the top of the vehicle via the mounting plate 400 to avoid direct contact between the housing 200 and the light-emitting component 300 and the roof panel of the vehicle, thereby providing structural protection for the housing 200 and the roof panel structure and reducing friction and wear.

[0026] In some examples, the mounting plate 400 is a plastic plate and the plastic mounting plate 400 is glued to the roof sheet, where, for example, the adhesive layer is a 3M adhesive layer and the mounting height of the mounting plate 400 is greater than or equal to 1.7 m.

[0027] In some other examples, the mounting plate 400 is an arc-shaped housing plate adapted to the shape of the housing 200.

[0028] In one possible embodiment, the ceiling light structure also includes a threaded connector 500, wherein the housing 200 is provided with connecting holes, wherein the mounting plate 400 is provided with mounting holes, wherein the connecting holes are arranged corresponding to the mounting holes, wherein a threaded connector 500 is arranged passing through preset disassembly holes, the mounting holes and the connecting holes on the vehicle main body 100, so that the housing 200 is screwed to the vehicle main body 100 via the mounting plate 400.

[0029] As one possible embodiment, it is provided that the number of threaded connectors 500 is set to at least two, wherein the number of connecting holes is set to at least two, with one connecting hole being located on a side of the housing 200 facing the top of the vehicle main body 100 and another connecting hole being located on a side of the housing 200 facing the light-emitting component 300, wherein the mounting holes are arranged corresponding to the connecting holes, for example, the threaded connector 500 is a bolt or a screw or a stud.

[0031] In another possible embodiment, the housing 200 is provided with partition plates 211, wherein the number of partition plates 211 is fixed at two, and the two partition plates 211 are arranged along the first direction, wherein the first direction is parallel to the horizontal direction; wherein one of the separating plates 211 separates a first section of the light-emitting component 300 from a third section of the light-emitting component 300 and the other separating plate 211 separates the third section of the light-emitting component 300 from a second section of the light-emitting component 300, in this way the light-emitting component 300 is divided into three groups of light-emitting structures.

[0032] In some embodiments, the ceiling light structure is also a functional component 600, wherein the functional component 600 is mounted on the housing 200, wherein at least the external environment of the vehicle main body 100 can be detected by means of the functional component 600, so that the driver can react in time via the functional component 600.

[0033] It is easy to understand that the 600 functional component can be used not only in low-visibility environments, such as at night, but also in bright-visibility environments, such as during the day, which makes the application scenarios of the ceiling light component more diverse.

[0034] In some embodiments, the housing 200 extends along the first direction, wherein the first direction is parallel to a horizontal direction; wherein in the first direction the functional component 600 replaces the third section of the light-emitting component 300, wherein the first section of the light-emitting component 300 is arranged at the first end of the functional component 600, wherein the second section of the light-emitting component 300 is arranged at the second end of the functional component 600.

[0035] The two separating plates 211 reduce the possibility of contact between the different sections of the light-emitting component 300 and between the light-emitting component 300 and the functional component 600, and reduce the possibility of mutual interference between the light-emitting component 300 and the functional component 400.

[0036] The partition plate 211 can be integrally fitted to the housing 200 to make the connection between the partition plate 211 and the housing 200 more stable. Alternatively, the partition plate 211 can also be connected to the housing 200 by means of a snap-fit ​​or plug-in connection.

For example, the light-emitting component 300 comprises several light-emitting units arranged in a matrix that are sequentially illuminated by flowing water from left to right or from right to left along a horizontal direction.

[0039] In other examples, the housing 200 is provided with a through-hole, wherein the connecting cable harness is passed through the through-hole and a rubber plug with a hole is fitted on the through-hole, the rubber plug being placed on the outer circumference of the connecting cable harness to provide external insulation and structural protection for the connecting cable harness and also to protect it from electromagnetic interference.

[0040] In some examples, the light-emitting component 300 comprises a substrate 310 and several light-emitting elements 320 arranged on the substrate 310; wherein the multiple light-emitting elements 320 are arranged in multiple rows and columns, the row direction of the multiple light-emitting elements 320 being parallel to the first direction, the column direction of the multiple light-emitting elements 320 being parallel to the second direction, the first direction and the second direction being perpendicular to each other; in a further embodiment, the substrate 310 is welded to the housing 200 by vibration friction welding. For example, the light-emitting element 320 can be configured as an inorganic light-emitting diode or an organic light-emitting diode, thereby realizing the lighting function of the ceiling light structure. Furthermore, the number of light-emitting elements 320 is 52, 64, or 58.Furthermore, the power consumption of the light source of a single light-emitting element 320 is ≈0.5 W and the total brightness of the light-emitting component 300 is greater than or equal to 2500 lumens (Im), which offers the advantages of low power consumption and high brightness.

[0041] In this way, by arranging the light-emitting elements 320 in a matrix on the car roof, the lighting effect of the vehicle at night or in extreme weather conditions can be improved and the driver's field of vision can be enhanced, which in turn increases driving safety.

[0042] In other possible embodiments, the functional component 600 comprises a laser radar, wherein the laser radar is used to detect the external environment of the vehicle main body 100, wherein the laser radar is used for intelligent driving, and its signal is connected to the central control system of the vehicle, wherein the laser radar can accurately measure the distance between the vehicle and surrounding objects; wherein the functional component 600 further comprises at least one of the following elements: a camera, a loudspeaker, a decorative frame, a light-sensitive element and a power supply element, wherein the decorative frame is connected to the housing 200 via a bracket, wherein the bracket is screwed to the housing 200 and the decorative frame serves to reflect the light of the light-emitting component 300, wherein a circuit board is also hot-riveted onto the bracket, wherein a light-sensitive element and / or a power supply element is arranged on the circuit board.The ceiling lighting structure for a vehicle provided in the embodiments of the present application has passed tests comprising a material performance test, an environmental matrix cycle verification test, an electrical performance test and an EMC electromagnetic compatibility test, thereby fully confirming its stability and reliability.
