[0038] The side turn signal lamp mounting assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 .

[0039] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the side turn signal installation assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a mounting cover plate 10 and a turn signal assembly 20, the mounting cover plate 10 has a first light-transmitting area 1101; the turn signal assembly 20 is arranged on one side of the mounting cover plate 10 (the inner side as shown in Figure 1), and the turn signal assembly 20 includes a shell 21 and a light-emitting component 22, the shell 21 has a second light-transmitting area 2121, the second light-transmitting area 2121 is arranged opposite to the first light-transmitting area 1101, the light-emitting component 22 is arranged in the shell 21, and the light emitted by the light-emitting component 22 can be emitted through the first light-transmitting area 1101 and the second light-transmitting area 2121, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting component 22 can be emitted through the turn signal assembly 20 and the mounting cover plate 10, and the mounting cover plate 10 and the shell 21 cover the light-emitting component 22 to protect the internal components of the turn signal assembly 20.

[0040] According to the side turn signal mounting assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the turn signal assembly 20 on one side of the mounting cover plate 10, the mounting cover plate 10 covers the turn signal assembly 20, which can prevent the turn signal assembly 20 from being exposed on the surface of the vehicle body, thereby playing a protective role for the turn signal assembly 20, improving the service life of the turn signal assembly 20, and at the same time avoiding the airflow hitting the turn signal assembly 20 to generate wind noise. The turn signal assembly 20 is installed inside the mounting cover plate 10 and is connected to the vehicle body through the mounting cover plate 10, so that the vehicle body seam and the styling characteristic line are overlapped as much as possible, the additional seam of the vehicle body is reduced, and the aesthetics is improved; by arranging relatively arranged light-transmitting areas on the mounting cover plate 10 and the turn signal assembly 20, the light-emitting part 22 in the turn signal assembly 20 can emit light to the outside of the vehicle through the light-transmitting area, which can improve the luminous intensity of the turn signal assembly 20, and facilitate people outside the vehicle to clearly observe the vehicle turning signal.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2, according to some embodiments of the present application, the number of light-emitting parts 22 can be two, and the light-emitting directions of the two light-emitting parts 22 are different, so that the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20 to the outside of the vehicle is more uniform, and the light intensity of the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20 to all directions outside the vehicle can be improved.

[0042] In some embodiments, the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20 can be evenly directed to the left or right side of the vehicle body, as well as the rear side of the vehicle body through the installation cover plate 10. According to regulatory requirements, after the side turn signal is turned on, a signal of a certain light intensity needs to be visible from a certain angle at the rear. By adopting the above-mentioned multi-light-emitting direction structure, the turn signal assembly 20 can be hidden and the regulatory requirements can be met at the same time.

[0043] In some examples, the number of light-emitting components 22 can be more, for example, the number of light-emitting components 22 is three, and the light-emitting directions of the three light-emitting components 22 can be different, which can further improve the uniformity of the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20; the light-emitting directions of the three light-emitting components 22 can also be partially the same, that is, the light-emitting directions of the first two light-emitting components 22 are the same, and the light-emitting direction of the third light-emitting component 22 is different from the light-emitting directions of the first two light-emitting components 22. In this way, the light intensity of the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20 in multiple directions outside the vehicle can be locally enhanced, which is conducive to the light intensity of the turn signal assembly 20 meeting the minimum light intensity required by regulations.

[0044] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some examples, the turn signal assembly 20 also includes a light guide 23, which is arranged in the housing 21. The two light-emitting elements 22 can be located on adjacent sides of the light guide 23 (the front side and the inner side as shown in Figure 4). The two light-emitting elements 22 can emit light toward the left or right side of the vehicle body, as well as the rear side of the vehicle body, respectively. The emitted light is diffused by the light guide 23 and then emitted to the outside of the vehicle, which can improve the uniformity of the outward light emission of the turn signal assembly 20, so that people outside the vehicle can clearly observe the vehicle steering instructions even if they are at the rear side of the vehicle, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle owner and people outside the vehicle.

[0045] In some embodiments, the number of light-emitting components 22 can be more. For example, the number of light-emitting components 22 is three. The first two light-emitting components 22 can be located on one side of the light guide 23, and the third light-emitting component 22 can be located on the other side of the light guide 23, and one side of the light guide 23 is adjacent to the other side. The light intensity of the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20 in multiple directions outside the vehicle can be locally enhanced, and by adjusting the number of light-emitting components 22 located on different sides of the light guide 23, the light intensity of the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20 in various directions can be controlled. On the premise of meeting the minimum light intensity required by regulations, it can meet the needs of various user groups and is conducive to adapting to various vehicle models.

[0046] In some embodiments, for the side turn signal installation assembly 100 located on the left side of the vehicle body, the turn signal assembly 20 located in the side turn signal installation assembly 100 can emit light toward the left side and rear side of the vehicle body; for the side turn signal installation assembly 100 located on the right side of the vehicle body, the turn signal assembly 20 located in the side turn signal installation assembly 100 can emit light toward the right side and rear side of the vehicle body.

[0047] As shown in FIG2 , in some examples, the light guide 23 has a first side surface 231 and a second side surface 232, and the first side surface 231 and the second side surface 232 are arranged adjacent to each other. The light emitting member 22 includes a first light emitting member 221 and a second light emitting member 222. The first light emitting member 221 is located on one side of the light guide 23 (the inner side as shown in FIG2 ), and the first light emitting member 221 is arranged opposite to the second side surface 232. The second light emitting member 222 is located on one side of the light guide 23 (the front side as shown in FIG2 ), and the second light emitting member 222 is arranged opposite to the first side surface 231, so that the light emitted by the light emitting member 22 can fully pass through the light guide 23 and be emitted, thereby improving the diffusion effect of the light guide 23 on the light. The angle between them is less than or equal to 90°. On the one hand, the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 221 and the second light-emitting component 222 can be emitted in two different directions, and the light at multiple locations is diffused by the light guide 23, which can improve the uniformity of the light emission of the side turn lamp installation assembly 100. At the same time, the light emitted by the second light-emitting component 222 toward the rear side of the vehicle body can be tilted toward the outside of the vehicle body, or the light emitted by the second light-emitting component 222 toward the rear side of the vehicle body can be parallel to the extension direction of the vehicle body (the front and rear direction as shown in Figure 6), preventing the vehicle body from blocking the light, which is beneficial for people outside the vehicle to clearly observe the vehicle turn signal on the left, right and rear sides of the vehicle, and can effectively ensure traffic safety. On the other hand, it can save installation space in the turn lamp assembly 20 and facilitate installation.

[0048] In some examples, the periphery of the light guide 23 may be provided with a plurality of lugs, which protrude from the periphery of the light guide 23. The lugs may be welded to the housing 21 by ultrasonic welding, so that the light guide 23 is fixedly connected to the housing 21, which can improve the fixing effect of the light guide 23, reduce the damage to the light guide 23 caused by the welding operation, and improve the stability of the light guiding of the light guide 23.

[0049] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the light guide 23 may have a snap fastener, and the inner side surface of the shell 21 may have a slot, and the slot and the snap fastener may be snap-fitted to achieve the connection between the light guide 23 and the shell 21; or, the inner side surface of the shell 21 may have an outwardly recessed groove, and the light guide 23 may be snap-fitted to the groove and have an interference fit with the side wall of the groove to achieve the connection between the light guide 23 and the shell 21, which is convenient for operation.

[0050] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, in some examples, the turn signal assembly 20 further includes a first circuit board 24 and a second circuit board 25. The first circuit board 24 is provided with a plurality of first light-emitting members 221. The second circuit board 25 is provided on one side of the first circuit board 24 (the front side as shown in Figure 2), and the extension direction of the second circuit board 25 (the inward and outward direction as shown in Figure 2) is different from the extension direction of the first circuit board 24 (the front and rear direction as shown in Figure 2). The second circuit board 25 has a plurality of second light-emitting members 222, which is conducive to the first light-emitting members 221 and the second light-emitting members 222 emitting light in different directions, wherein the first light-emitting members 221 emit light toward the left or right side of the vehicle body, and the second light-emitting members 222 emit light toward the rear side of the vehicle body. On the one hand, the uniformity of the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20 can be improved, and on the other hand, the minimum light intensity required by regulations can be met, that is, after the turn signal assembly 20 is illuminated, the light intensity signal observed by the user outside the vehicle within the viewing angle range of 5° to 60° from the rear of the vehicle body is at least 0.6 cd.

[0051] In some examples, the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 can be integrally formed, and by bending the entire circuit board, the two circuit boards can be tilted relative to each other, which can save processing costs.

[0052] As shown in Figure 4, in some examples, the first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 may be perpendicular to each other, that is, the multiple first light-emitting elements 221 on the first circuit board 24 emit light toward the left or right side of the vehicle, and the multiple second light-emitting elements 222 on the second circuit board 25 emit light toward the rear side of the vehicle. The first circuit board 24 and the second circuit board 25 can be separately installed on two adjacent inner wall surfaces of the outer shell 21. On the one hand, it can save installation space in the turn signal assembly 20, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the turn signal assembly 20, facilitates the hiding of the turn signal assembly 20 into the vehicle body, and enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle appearance. On the other hand, it can improve the diffusion effect of light, so that the turn signal assembly 20 emits light evenly outside the vehicle, and at the same time can improve the light intensity of the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20 to the rear side of the vehicle.

[0053] In some examples, the circuit board has a buckle, and the housing 21 has a slot, and the buckle and the slot correspond in position, so that the circuit board and the housing 21 can be snap-fitted together for easy operation.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, according to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting cover plate 10 includes an outer cover shell 11 and an inner cover shell 12. The outer cover shell 11 is a light-transmitting component, and the inner cover shell 12 is arranged on one side of the outer cover shell 11 (the inner side as shown in Figure 1), and the inner cover shell 12 has an avoidance opening to facilitate the emission of light; the part of the outer cover shell 11 corresponding to the avoidance opening position can form a first light-transmitting area 1101, thereby increasing the light output intensity of the side turn signal mounting assembly 100 without providing a light-transmitting notch on the outside of the mounting cover plate 10, so that people outside the vehicle can clearly observe the vehicle's turn signal, thereby reducing the seams on the outside of the side turn signal mounting assembly 100, improving the aesthetics of the structure, and improving the product grade.

[0055] In some embodiments, a portion of the turn signal assembly 20 can be installed at the avoidance opening, and the avoidance opening can serve as an avoidance shell 21, so that a portion of the shell 21 can be inserted into the avoidance opening, and at the same time, the outer wall surface of the shell 21 can abut against the inner wall surface of the outer cover shell 11, thereby improving the installation stability of the turn signal assembly 20.

[0056] In some examples, the outer cover shell 11 can be made of transparent acrylic (PMMA) material to ensure that the outer cover shell 11 has a suitable light transmittance. If the light transmittance of the outer cover shell 11 is too low, it will affect the observation effect of people outside the vehicle. If the light transmittance of the outer cover shell 11 is too high, the light output boundary of the outer cover shell 11 will be blurred, affecting the light output quality of the outer cover shell 11. Therefore, the light transmittance range of the outer cover shell 11 can be limited to 35%-85%. The light transmittance of the outer cover shell 11 can be 35%, 85%, or any value between 35% and 85%. For example, the light transmittance of the outer cover shell 11 is 48%, 58% and 68%, etc., which can increase the intensity of the light emitted by the turn signal assembly 20 to the outside of the vehicle, facilitate observation by people outside the vehicle, and make the light boundary clear, thereby improving the light output quality of the outer cover shell 11 and reducing the probability of safety accidents.

[0057] In some examples, the inner cover shell 12 can be a black material that is integrally injection-molded from acrylic (PMMA) and engineering plastic (ASA), which has a high light reflective effect, and the outer cover shell 11 can be a gray-black material. As a result, the inner cover shell 12 and the outer cover shell 11 cooperate with each other so that the edge of the light outlet of the turn signal assembly 20 presents a high light reflective black effect, thereby improving the hiding effect of the turn signal assembly 20. That is, when the light-emitting component is off, the appearance of the turn signal assembly 20 can be integrated with the black mounting cover plate 10, thereby improving the overall appearance of the black mounting cover plate 10, and people outside the vehicle can clearly observe the light when the light-emitting component is lit, which makes the product highlight the sense of technology and improves the aesthetics of the product.

[0058] As shown in Figures 2 and 6, in some examples, the mounting cover plate 10 can be installed to the exterior trim panel on the side of the vehicle body, and the exterior cover shell 11 includes a first side panel 111 and a second side panel 112. The first side panel 111 protrudes from the exterior trim panel, and the first side panel 111 extends along the length direction of the vehicle body (the front and rear direction as shown in Figure 6), and the second side panel 112 is located on the side of the first side panel 111 close to the interior of the vehicle body (the inner side as shown in Figure 2), and the second side panel 112 is connected to the end of the first side panel 111 close to the rear of the vehicle body (the rear end as shown in Figure 6), and the second side panel 112 extends obliquely in the direction away from the first side panel 111 toward the direction close to the rear of the vehicle body. As shown in Figure 2, the second side panel 112 extends obliquely from the outside to the inside, so that the light-emitting surface of the turn signal assembly 20 faces the rear side of the vehicle, making it convenient for people at the rear side of the vehicle to observe the vehicle turn signal.

[0059] As shown in FIG6 , in some embodiments, the exterior trim panel may be a door trim panel 210 located on the outside of a vehicle door. When a user opens the vehicle door, the turn signal assembly 20 may move along with the vehicle door, thereby improving the grade of the product. The exterior trim panel may also be a side fender panel located at the front of the vehicle, thereby improving the reliability of the product.

[0060] As shown in Figure 2, in some examples, the first light-transmitting area 1101 has a first light-transmitting side and a second light-transmitting side, the first light-transmitting side faces the outside of the vehicle body (the outside as shown in Figure 4), and the second light-transmitting side faces the rear side of the vehicle body (the rear side as shown in Figure 6), which can increase the luminous angle range of the turn signal assembly 20, facilitate observation by people outside the vehicle, and ensure traffic safety.

[0061] In some examples, the inner cover shell 12 and the outer cover shell 11 can be integrally injection molded for ease of processing, and the shape of the inner cover shell 12 can be roughly the same as that of the outer cover shell 11, which facilitates integral injection molding and has good light transmission effect.

[0062] As shown in Figure 2, according to some embodiments of the present application, the outer shell 21 includes a bottom shell 211 and a cover 212. The cover 212 is arranged on the side of the bottom shell 211 close to the mounting cover plate 10 (the outer side as shown in Figure 4). The cover 212 and the bottom shell 211 cooperate with each other to form a accommodating space, which is used to accommodate the light-emitting component 22. The part of the cover 212 opposite to the first light-transmitting area 1101 can form a second light-transmitting area 2121, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting component 22 is emitted through the light-transmitting area, which is convenient for people outside the vehicle to observe and ensure traffic safety.

[0063] In some examples, the cover 212 can be made of acrylic (PMMA) diffusion material to improve the diffusion effect of light. If the transmittance of the cover 212 is too low, the light output intensity of the turn signal assembly 20 is affected. If the transmittance of the cover 212 is too high, it is easy to cause the light output boundary of the outer cover shell 11 to be blurred, affecting the observation effect of people outside the vehicle. Therefore, the transmittance range of the cover 212 can be limited to 20%-80%. The transmittance of the cover 212 can be 20%, 80%, or any value between 20% and 80%. For example, the transmittance of the cover 212 is 30%, 45% and 60%, etc., which can improve the diffusion effect of the cover 212 on light, make the light output of the turn signal assembly 20 more uniform, and at the same time improve the light output intensity of the turn signal assembly 20, and ensure that the light output boundary is clear, which is convenient for observation by people outside the vehicle.

[0064] In some embodiments, the cover 212 can be made of a gray-black light diffusion material, that is, inorganic particles are added to the diffusion plate substrate.
