PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Commonly used solutions in vehicle interior lighting systems today. These are fixed ceiling lights and reading lights with limited mobility. Fixed Ceiling lights are a single light source, usually located in the center of the vehicle, and 15 It distributes the light evenly throughout the cabinet. The biggest disadvantage of this system is that the light is distributed evenly across certain areas. inability to focus on a single point and according to the personal needs of the driver or passengers The problem is that the light cannot be directed at the passenger. For example, when a passenger wants to read a book, the light cannot be directed at them. Because it cannot be directed to the area, both comfort and efficiency decrease. Reading lamps are generally designed for the driver and front passenger, with small angles. They are movable light sources. These systems direct light to a specific point. Although it offers the possibility of repositioning, it is not modular; that is, it can be positioned in different parts of the vehicle. They cannot be moved or repositioned. Also, these lamps are usually fixed. It is assembled and accessible only to certain users, which is the rear seat 25 It offers a limited solution for its passengers. Since modular panel solutions are not available in current systems, light direction the need is met with fixed brackets or major modifications to the vehicle's interior design This is met with resistance. Such solutions are both costly and require installation. They are cumbersome. They are not widely preferred due to their lack of user-friendliness. In conclusion, the main problems with the known technical situation are as follows: 2 • The inability to direct the light in a customizable way. • Lack of modularity, therefore incompatible with different vehicle models. inability to provide • Solutions that require additional costs and complex installations. • Limited in-vehicle comfort 5 These shortcomings necessitate flexibility and user-centric design in in-vehicle lighting. It reveals. Consequently, due to the aforementioned shortcomings and deficiencies, the relevant 10 The need for an innovation in the technical field has arisen. 3 THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The overall purpose of the invention is to create a complete system that meets the requirements mentioned above. especially in the automotive sector, which eliminates disadvantages and brings some additional advantages. and in the electric vehicle accessories sector; in-vehicle lighting systems, modular 5 It relates to the panel, which includes accessory design and light direction technologies. Due to the drawbacks of the previous technique, the invention, as described above, It aims to resolve the negative aspects. The primary purpose of this invention is to provide lighting for use in electric vehicle cabins. The goal is to make their systems more flexible, user-friendly, and customizable. Unlike existing fixed or limited directional lighting systems, the developed Thanks to the modular panel, the direction of the light can be easily adjusted, and inside the cabin... They can focus on the desired point. Thus, the driver and passengers can meet their needs in 15 seconds. Accordingly, light distribution can be controlled and in-vehicle comfort is increased. Furthermore... Modular design allows compatibility with different vehicle models and cabin layouts. It offers a wide range of applications. Thanks to its lightweight and low-cost structure. While ensuring ease of production and assembly, without the need for an additional energy source.

Due to the drawbacks of the previous technique, the invention, as described above, It aims to resolve the negative aspects. Figure 1 shows the modular cabin light guide panel for electric vehicles, which is the subject of the invention. It has a perspective, disassembled view. Modular panel body (1): It is the main load-bearing structure of the panel. Lightweight and durable. Made from durable material, it is easily integrated into the cabin's interior lighting system. 15 The housing is the base surface onto which all other parts are mounted, and it directs the light. It provides the necessary mechanical infrastructure. Thanks to its modular structure, it is suitable for different vehicles. It can be adapted to their models. Adjustable shutters (2): Small flaps on the panel or 20 They are lamellae. They are moved by the user manually or with a simple mechanism. The direction of the light can be changed. Thanks to these louvers, the light can be directed to a specific area inside the cabin. It can be focused on a single point or spread over a wider area. Hinge / slot mechanism (3): 25 of the shutters and guide elements It is the connecting system that enables its movement. A simple hinge or socket structure. Thanks to this mechanism, the angle of the blinds can be adjusted. This mechanism directs the light. This ensures the process is precise and user-friendly. Mounting clip (4): The panel can be easily attached to the vehicle roof or existing lamp socket. It is the device that enables attachment. Clips offer quick assembly and disassembly. The user can attach and detach the panel without using any additional tools. 7 Screw / fastening element (5): For more secure and permanent mounting of the panel These are fastening parts used for various purposes. They can be used with clips or individually. It is suitable for use, especially in vibrating environments, to ensure the panel is securely fixed. It provides. 5 Light direction cover (6): Located on the front of the panel and directs the angle of light output. It is the cover that controls the light. This cover prevents light from scattering, directing it to a specific point. It ensures proper focusing. It also optimizes light intensity and distribution. Modular connection point (7): The panel can be connected to other modules or additional parts. It is a connection system that enables the joining of multiple panels side by side. Can be used sideways or integrated with additional parts for compatibility with different vehicle models. It can be done.

It is fixed; this fixation ensures that the steering geometry is aligned during vehicle movement. It ensures protection. Adjustable louvers (2) are located on the light output surface. Low friction rotation / folding via hinge / slot mechanism (3) The angular adjustment is achieved with a movement; the user can adjust these blinds with their finger or a slider. By positioning it with millimeter tolerance using the tab, the width of the light beam is set to 25. (diffuse) or narrow focus (spot) is selected. Light direction cover (6), outlet By limiting the opening in a strip, elliptical, or slotted form, it reduces glare and the amount of light. It allows the shutter to fall into specific areas with sharp boundaries; this cover, along with the shutter adjustment, It optimizes light distribution along both the vertical and horizontal axes by working in a modular way. connection point (7), expand the single use of the panel and connect multiple modules side 30 It allows for chain linking sideways or at different angles; thus, the back Regional lighting scenarios around the seats, door tops or center console 8 It is created. The system is completely passive and mechanical; it requires no additional energy, existing It redirects the light flux of the lamp. During use, the user first checks the general... To determine the direction, adjust the mounting angle of the panel body, then it is adjustable. It provides precise focusing with louvers and reduces glare with a light-directing cover. It controls. This three-stage adjustment (body positioning, shutter angle, cover 5 (opening) can be quickly adjusted according to different vehicle models and seating positions. Configurable; easily removed for maintenance with panel clips, hinge / slot. By keeping the areas free of dust and dirt, friction stability is maintained. In addition, high Adjustment is made by engaging screw / fastening elements under vibration conditions. The permanence of their positions is guaranteed; this ensures that the light beam remains at 10 during driving. It's non-slip and the user experience remains consistent. How it Works: 1.
