Description
Intelligent car light and car
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on November 22, 2023, with application number 202311572640.5 and application name “A Smart Car Light and Automobile”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of transportation vehicles, and in particular to an intelligent vehicle lamp and a vehicle. Background Art
[0003] With the development of automotive technology, some cars are now equipped with smart lights. Smart lights are lights that not only have lighting functions but also have adaptive high beam and projection functions. By setting up smart lights, you can enrich the lighting functions of the car and enhance the car's sense of technology.
[0004] The smart headlight includes a headlight body and a lampshade mounted at one end of the headlight body. The headlight beam is emitted outward through the lampshade; in other words, the lampshade serves as the light output structure of the smart headlight. The smart headlight is mounted on a vehicle, and the vehicle is provided with a mounting cavity for the smart headlight and an opening communicating with the mounting cavity, the opening being used to expose the lampshade. The smart headlight is fixedly mounted in the mounting cavity of the vehicle with the lampshade facing the opening.
[0005] However, the smart car lights in the related art have a large extension dimension in the light emitting direction of the lampshade, which makes it difficult to form an installation cavity that meets the installation requirements on the car, and thus makes it difficult to install the smart car lights on the car.
[0006] Summary of the Invention
[0007] The embodiments of the present application provide a smart headlight and a car, which are used to improve the problem that the smart headlight is difficult to install on a car.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:
[0009] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a smart car light, which includes a car light module, a car light housing, a reflective device and a transparent lampshade; wherein the car light module includes a light source, a light modulator and a projection lens; the light source is used to provide a light source beam projected onto the light modulator; the light modulator is used to modulate the light source beam to form a car light beam, and the car light beam is emitted through the projection lens; the direction parallel to the optical axis of the projection lens is the first direction.
[0010] The lamp housing is connected to the lamp module and surrounds a first accommodating cavity. The projection lens is located in the first accommodating cavity. The lamp housing includes a front panel and a side wall. The front panel is disposed opposite the projection lens. In a first direction, the front panel is located on a side of the projection lens away from the lamp module. The side wall is located on a side of the front panel closer to the lamp module and extends from the front panel toward the side of the lamp module. The side wall is provided with a first opening that extends through the first accommodating cavity.
[0011] The reflector is disposed in the first accommodating cavity and is configured to receive the headlight beam emitted by the projection lens and reflect the headlight beam toward the first opening. A transparent lampshade is mounted on the exterior of the headlight housing and covers the first opening; the headlight beam projected toward the first opening is emitted through the transparent lampshade.
[0012] In the smart headlight provided in the embodiments of the present application, by changing the position of the transparent lampshade and the reflective effect of the reflector, the headlight beam emitted from the transparent lampshade can be made non-parallel to the optical axis of the projection lens. This eliminates the limitation between the light emission direction of the smart headlight and the installation posture of the headlight module. When the smart headlight is installed on a car, the headlight module can flexibly adjust its installation posture according to the interior space of the car, eliminating the need to adopt an installation posture in which the projection lens is directly opposite the illumination area. This facilitates the rational use of the car's interior space and allows the smart headlight to be installed within the existing space of the car or with minor adjustments to the car's styling. This reduces the difficulty of installing the smart headlight and also reduces the impact of the smart headlight installation on the car's styling.
[0013] In some embodiments, the reflective device includes a reflector and a first drive device, wherein the reflector is disposed between the first opening and the projection lens, and the first opening and the projection lens are both located on the same side of the reflector. The reflector is mounted on the first drive device, and the first drive device drives the reflector to rotate about an axis to adjust the angle of the vehicle light beam emitted from the transparent lampshade.
[0014] In the smart car light provided in the embodiment of the present application, the reflective device can adopt a design with an adjustable reflection angle, which is conducive to adjusting the angle of the car light beam emitted from the transparent lampshade; thereby expanding the illumination range of the smart car light and improving the performance of the smart car light.
[0015] In some embodiments, the reflective device includes at least two reflectors and a second drive device. The reflectors of the at least two reflectors are sequentially positioned between the first opening and the projection lens. The headlight beam emitted from the projection lens sequentially passes through the reflectors of the at least two reflectors before reaching the first opening. The first drive device is connected to at least one of the reflectors. The first drive device drives the connected reflector to rotate about an axis to adjust the angle of the headlight beam emitted from the transparent lampshade.
[0016] In the smart headlights provided in the embodiments of the present application, the reflector can be designed with an adjustable reflection angle and can accommodate reflectors with two or more reflectors. Furthermore, by providing two or more reflectors, the reflector can flexibly change the propagation direction of the headlight beam, thereby accommodating a variety of different mounting positions for the headlight module. This further reduces the difficulty of installing the smart headlight and minimizes the impact of the installation on the vehicle's styling.
[0017] In some embodiments, the smart car light also includes a second driving device arranged on the car light housing, the second driving device is connected to the transparent lampshade, and is used to drive the transparent lampshade to move relative to the car light housing along a second direction; wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the plane where the first opening is located.
[0018] The transparent lampshade has a first state and a second state during movement along the second direction. The transparent lampshade in the first state is farther away from the first opening than the transparent lampshade in the second state.
[0019] In the smart car light provided in the embodiment of the present application, the transparent lampshade is designed to be movable forward and backward relative to the first opening. Based on this, when the smart car light is installed inside the car, the transparent lampshade can be controlled to move to a position farther away from the first opening when the smart car light is working; and to move to a position closer to the first opening when the smart car light is not working. That is, the transparent lampshade is driven to extend when the smart car light is working and to retract when the smart car light is not working. Such a design is conducive to the operation and concealment of the smart car light installed inside the car.
[0020] In some embodiments, the smart car light further includes a sealing soft glue, which is connected to both the car light housing and the transparent lampshade. The car light housing, the transparent lampshade and the sealing soft glue surround and form a sealed cavity that seals the transparent lampshade and the first opening.
[0021] In the smart vehicle lamp provided in the embodiments of the present application, a sealing rubber is provided to form a sealed cavity between the transparent lampshade and the first opening, thereby ensuring the sealing of the first accommodating cavity and keeping the first accommodating cavity airtight, thereby achieving a waterproof and dustproof effect on the structure within the first accommodating cavity. Furthermore, the sealing rubber is elastically deformable and can expand and contract in the second direction, thereby maintaining a good seal even when the transparent lampshade moves in the second direction.
[0022] In some embodiments, the smart car light also includes a second driving device arranged on the car light housing, the second driving device includes a driving motor and a rotating drum, the central axis of the rotating drum is parallel to the third direction, the transparent lampshade is arranged on the drum surface of the rotating drum, and the driving motor is used to drive the rotating drum to rotate around the central axis; wherein, the third direction is parallel to the plane where the first opening is located.
[0023] The transparent lampshade has a first state and a second state as it rotates with the rotating drum. In the first state, the transparent lampshade is located directly in front of the first opening. In the second state, the transparent lampshade is offset from the front of the first opening. In addition, in a second direction perpendicular to the plane of the first opening, the transparent lampshade in the first state is further away from the first opening than the transparent lampshade in the second state.
[0024] In the smart car light provided in the embodiment of the present application, the transparent lampshade is designed to be rotatable around an axis relative to a first opening; the transparent lampshade has a first state and a second state during the rotation process; the transparent lampshade in the first state is located directly in front of the first opening and is at a position farther away from the first opening; the transparent lampshade in the second state is offset from the front of the first opening and is at a position closer to the first opening. Based on this, when the smart car light is installed inside a car, the smart car light can be controlled to operate when the transparent lampshade moves to the first state and stop working when the transparent lampshade moves to the second state; that is, the transparent lampshade is driven to extend when the smart car light is working and retract when the smart car light is not working; such a design is conducive to the operation and concealment of the smart car light installed inside the car.
[0025] In some embodiments, the second driving device also includes a drum shell and a sealing soft rubber, wherein the drum shell is connected to the headlight housing and surrounds a second accommodating cavity and a second opening that passes through the second accommodating cavity; the rotating drum and the first opening are located in the second accommodating cavity, and the second opening is located directly in front of the first opening; the transparent lampshade in the first state is exposed through the second opening.
[0026] The sealing soft glue is arranged on the rotating drum, extends from the rotating drum toward the drum shell, and abuts against the inner wall of the drum shell.
[0027] In the smart car light provided in the embodiment of the present application, by providing a sealing soft glue and a roller shell, the sealing of the first accommodating cavity can be ensured, so that the first accommodating cavity is in a closed state, thereby achieving a waterproof and dustproof effect on the structure in the first accommodating cavity.
[0028] In some embodiments, the smart car light also includes a cover assembly, which includes a non-transparent cover and a third driving device, and the third driving device is used to drive the non-transparent cover to move; the non-transparent cover has a third state and a fourth state under the drive of the third driving device, and the non-transparent cover in the third state is located directly in front of the first opening; the non-transparent cover in the fourth state deviates from the front of the first opening.
[0029] In the smart car light provided in the embodiment of the present application, a shielding cover assembly is provided, and the shielding cover assembly adopts a design in which the non-transparent shielding cover can move; thereby, when the smart car light is not working, it can protect the transparent lampshade; when the smart car light is working, it does not affect the normal operation of the smart car light.
[0030] In some embodiments, the extension distance of the light module in a first direction is a first distance, and the maximum extension distance of the light module in a cross section perpendicular to the first direction is a second distance; the first distance is greater than the second distance. In the smart light provided in the embodiments of the present application, by providing a reflector, the direction in which the light module extends the most can be adjusted to be non-parallel to the light emission direction of the transparent lampshade, thereby eliminating the limitation between the light emission direction of the smart light and the installation posture of the light module, and greatly reducing the difficulty of installing the smart light on the vehicle.
[0031] In some embodiments, the plane of the first opening is parallel to the first direction. That is, the first opening is perpendicular to the optical axis of the projection lens. The reflector deflects the light beam emitted from the projection lens by 90 degrees, directing the light from the transparent lampshade perpendicular to the optical axis of the projection lens. This design significantly reduces the difficulty of installing the smart headlight on a vehicle and facilitates the selection and configuration of the reflector.
[0032] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a car, comprising a body structure and a smart headlight as described in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect, wherein the smart headlight is mounted on the body structure.
[0033] The technical effects that can be achieved by the automobile provided in the embodiment of the present application are the same as the technical effects that can be achieved by the smart car lights in any of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0034] In some embodiments, a vehicle includes a bumper having a third opening. A smart headlight is mounted on the inner side of the bumper, illuminating the outer side of the bumper through the third opening. Mounting the smart headlight on the inner side of the bumper effectively utilizes the space within the bumper, facilitating easier installation of the smart headlight and minimizing the impact of the smart headlight's installation on the vehicle's styling.
[0035] In some embodiments, the smart headlight includes a second driving device disposed on the headlight housing. The second driving device is connected to the transparent lampshade and is configured to drive the transparent lampshade to move relative to the headlight housing. Driven by the second driving device, the transparent lampshade has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the transparent lampshade is positioned within the third opening. In the second state, the transparent lampshade is released from the third opening.
[0036] This design allows the transparent lampshade to extend into the third opening while the smart headlight is operating, effectively blocking the third opening and preventing drafts from entering the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion. Furthermore, the transparent lampshade's movement as the smart headlight's operating state changes enhances the vehicle's sense of technology.
[0037] In some embodiments, when the transparent lampshade is in the first state, the transparent lampshade is located in the third opening, with its outer surface flush with the bumper. The outer surface of the transparent lampshade has the same styling as the bumper. This design maintains the consistency of the vehicle's styling and prevents the transparent lampshade in the first state from affecting the vehicle's appearance.
[0038] In some embodiments, the car also includes a baffle assembly, which includes a non-transparent baffle and a third driving device that drives the non-transparent baffle to move; when driven by the third driving device, the non-transparent baffle has a third state of closing the third opening and a fourth state of opening the third opening; when the non-transparent baffle is in the fourth state, the smart car lights work through the third opening.
[0039] With such a design, on the one hand, the cover assembly can close the third opening when the smart headlights are not working by driving the non-transparent cover to move, thereby preventing the third opening from damaging the integrity of the car's shape and hiding the smart headlights; it can also prevent the smart headlights from being constantly eroded by wind when the car is driving, thereby protecting the smart headlights; it can also prevent damage to the smart headlights when the car is scratched.
[0040] On the other hand, the cover assembly can open the third opening when the smart car lights are working by driving the non-transparent cover to move. While ensuring that the cover assembly does not affect the work of the smart car lights, the movement of the non-transparent cover along with the working status of the smart car lights can increase the technological sense of the car.
[0041] In some embodiments, the third drive device is a drive device capable of driving the non-transparent cover to slide laterally or rotate about an axis relative to the third opening. In the cover assembly provided in the embodiments of the present application, the non-transparent cover can be driven to move in a variety of different ways while achieving the same effect, with flexible design and easy implementation.
[0042] In some embodiments, at least some of the third and second drive mechanisms share common structures. This design simplifies the structures of the third and second drive mechanisms, improving their integration. This helps reduce costs and space requirements, thereby simplifying the installation of the smart headlight and minimizing the impact of the smart headlight installation on the vehicle's styling.
[0043] In some embodiments, the second driving device includes a driving motor and a rotating drum, the central axis of the rotating drum is parallel to the third direction, the transparent lampshade is arranged on the drum surface of the rotating drum, and the driving motor is used to drive the rotating drum to rotate around the central axis; wherein, the third direction is parallel to the plane where the first opening is located.
[0044] The transparent lampshade has a first state and a second state during the rotation of the rotating drum. The transparent lampshade in the first state is located directly in front of the first opening and in the third opening; the transparent lampshade in the second state is detached from the third opening and is located at a position deviated from the front of the first opening.
[0045] The automobile includes a non-transparent cover, which is also arranged on the drum surface of the rotating drum. The non-transparent cover has a third state and a fourth state during the rotation of the rotating drum. The non-transparent cover in the third state is located directly in front of the first opening and in the third opening; the non-transparent cover in the fourth state is detached from the third opening and is located at a position deviated from the front of the first opening.
[0046] With this design, the state switching of the transparent lampshade and the non-transparent cover can be achieved simultaneously by driving the rotating drum to rotate around the axis by the driving motor. The structure is simple and the space occupied is small. Moreover, the movement between the transparent lampshade and the non-transparent cover can be accurately synchronized.
[0047] In some embodiments, when the non-transparent cover is in the third state, the non-transparent cover is located in the third opening, and the outer side surface is flush with the bumper.
[0048] The outer side surface of the non-transparent cover has the same styling surface as the bumper; this design can maintain the consistency of the car's styling and avoid the non-transparent cover from affecting the car's appearance.
[0049] The non-transparent cover can also be provided with a car logo. This design can achieve "multiple uses of one item", simplify the structure and save costs. Moreover, when the third driving device drives the non-transparent cover to move, the car logo will move with the cover, thereby enhancing the car's sense of technology.
[0050] In some embodiments, the bumper is a front bumper or a rear bumper of a car; it has a wide range of applications and is conducive to the installation of smart headlights in different positions of the car.
[0051] In some embodiments, a vehicle includes left and right headlights mounted on a bumper; one smart headlight is provided and integrated into the left or right headlight; or two smart headlights are provided, one integrated into the left headlight and the other into the right headlight. This design can reduce the impact of the smart headlights on the vehicle's styling. When the smart headlights are integrated into the left and right headlights, a separate third opening is not required, and a cover assembly can be omitted, simplifying the structure and saving costs.
[0052] In some embodiments, the smart lights are positioned on the mid-axis plane of the vehicle body; the mid-axis plane is a plane parallel to the length and height of the vehicle and passing through the center of the vehicle's width. This design can increase the range of the smart lights, thereby enhancing their effectiveness.
[0053] In some embodiments, a vehicle includes at least two smart lights, symmetrically arranged about the vehicle's mid-axis plane. The mid-axis plane is a plane parallel to the vehicle's length and height and passing through the vehicle's width center. This design accommodates scenarios where more than one smart light is required, and the symmetrical arrangement ensures a beautiful vehicle appearance.
[0054] In some embodiments, the first direction is parallel to the width or height of the vehicle. This design can fully utilize the characteristic that the space inside the bumper of the vehicle extends relatively short in the vehicle length direction but relatively long in the direction perpendicular to the vehicle length direction. This helps to reduce the difficulty of installing the smart headlight on the vehicle and improve the problem that the installation of the smart headlight has a significant impact on the vehicle's appearance.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present application, "up", "down", "left" and "right" are not limited to being defined relative to the orientation of the components schematically placed in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms may be relative concepts. They are used for relative descriptions and clarifications, and may change accordingly according to changes in the orientation of the components in the drawings.
[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "including" is to be interpreted as open and inclusive, that is, "including, but not limited to". In the description of the specification, the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiments", "exemplarily" or "some examples" and the like are intended to indicate that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics associated with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. The schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. In addition, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.
[0082] As used herein, "about," "substantially," or "approximately" includes the stated value and an average value that is within an acceptable range of deviation from the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurements in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).

Therefore, the exemplary embodiments should not be interpreted as being limited to the shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing. For example, an etched region shown as a rectangle will typically have curved features. Therefore, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shapes of regions of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.
[0086] An embodiment of the present application provides a car, which can be a sedan as shown in Figure 1, or a sport utility vehicle (SUV), a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), a truck or a bus, etc.; in terms of energy type, the car 100 can be an electric car, a fuel car or a hybrid car, for example, a pure electric car, an extended-range electric car, a hybrid electric car, a fuel cell car, a new energy car, etc.; the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type of the car 100.
[0087] As shown in Figure 1, the car 100 includes headlights, a front bumper 1 and smart headlights 3 at the front position of the car, wherein the headlights include a left front headlight 110 and a right front headlight 120 arranged left and right in the width direction of the car, and the left front headlight 110 and the right front headlight 120 are symmetrically arranged relative to the central axis plane S of the car body. Here, the central axis plane S of the car body refers to a plane parallel to the length direction and the height direction of the car and passing through the center point of the width of the car 100.
[0088] The front bumper 1 of the automobile 100 is provided with a third opening 2. The third opening 2 is located at the location of the mid-axis plane S of the vehicle body and extends through the front bumper 1 along the length of the vehicle. The spaces located inside and outside the front bumper 1 can be connected through the third opening 2. As can be seen from the above description, the third opening 2 is located midway between the left headlight 110 and the right headlight 120. The left headlight 110 and the right headlight 120 are symmetrically arranged relative to the third opening 2.
[0089] The plane where the third opening 2 is located can be parallel to the height direction of the car, or can extend obliquely relative to the height direction of the car; the actual relationship between the plane where the third opening 2 is located and the height direction of the car is related to the position of the front bumper 1 and the shape of the front bumper 1.
[0090] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The automobile 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes a smart headlight 3. The smart headlight 3 refers to a headlight device that has functions such as adaptive high beam and projection in addition to the lighting function. The smart headlight 3 is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body structure and is located on the inner side of the front bumper 1. The fixed installation here can be fixedly mounted on the front bumper 1, or fixedly mounted on other vehicle body structures inside the front bumper 1, such as a sheet metal structure. The headlight beam generated by the smart headlight 3 installed on the inner side of the front bumper 1 can be irradiated to the outer side of the front bumper 1 through the third opening 2, thereby achieving the purpose of irradiating the area in front of the automobile 100.
[0091] The embodiment of the present application also provides a smart headlight 3 that can be used in the above-mentioned automobile 100. As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the smart headlight 3 includes a headlight module 5, a headlight housing 4, a reflector 8 and a transparent lampshade 6, wherein the headlight module 5 is an image generation unit (Picture Generation Unit, abbreviated as PGU), which is used to form the headlight beam required when the smart headlight 3 is working.
[0092] As shown in Figure 6, the headlight module 5 includes a light source 53, a light modulator 52 and a projection lens 51, wherein the light source 53 is used to provide a light source beam projected to the light modulator 52; the light modulator 52 is used to modulate the light source beam to form a headlight beam, and project it to the projection lens 51; the projection lens 51 is exposed to the outside of the headlight module 5, and the headlight beam projected by the light modulator 52 to the projection lens 51 is emitted through the projection lens 51.
[0093] In the vehicle light module 5, the light modulator 52 can be at least one of liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), a digital micromirror display (DMD), and a liquid crystal display (LCD). In this embodiment, the vehicle light module 5 is an image generation device that uses DLP (Digital Light Processing) projection technology, and its light modulator 52 is a digital micromirror device (DMD). The vehicle light module 5 using DLP projection technology offers advantages such as excellent display quality and high reliability.
[0094] For ease of description, the optical axis L0 of the projection lens 51 is referred to herein as the lens optical axis L0, and the direction parallel to the lens optical axis L0 is defined as the first direction X. As shown in Figures 3 to 5 , the extension distance of the light module 5 in the first direction X is the first distance; in a cross section perpendicular to the first direction X, the maximum extension distance of the light module 5 is the second distance; the first distance is greater than the second distance. In some light modules 5, the first distance can be more than twice the second distance, resulting in the light module 5 having an overall "long strip" structure.
[0095] For a smart headlight 3 having the aforementioned headlight module 5, the installation posture can be described based on the relative positional relationship between the first direction X and the vehicle 100 when installed on the vehicle 100. For example, when the first direction X is parallel to the vehicle's height, the smart headlight 3 is installed on the vehicle 100 in a vertical posture; when the first direction X is parallel to the vehicle's width, the smart headlight 3 is installed on the vehicle 100 in a horizontal, transverse posture; and when the first direction X is parallel to the vehicle's length, the smart headlight 3 is installed on the vehicle 100 in a horizontal, longitudinal posture.
[0096] Continuing with Figures 3 to 5 , the lamp housing 4 of the smart lamp 3 is connected to the lamp module 5 and encloses a first accommodating cavity 45. At least the projection lens 51 of the lamp module 5 is located in the first accommodating cavity 45. The lamp housing 4 includes a lens outer portion located outside the projection lens 51 in the first direction X. "Outside the projection lens 51 in the first direction X" here means located on a side of the lamp module 5 away from the projection lens 51 in the first direction X.
[0097] The outer portion of the lens includes a connected front plate 43 and a side wall 44. The front plate 43 is arranged in front of the projection lens 51 and opposite to the projection lens 51. The front plate 43 can be a flat plate structure, an arc-shaped plate structure, or a curved plate structure of any shape. The side wall 44 is arranged on the side of the front plate 43 close to the projection lens 51 and extends from the front plate 43 toward the side where the headlight module 5 is located. The side wall 44 extending between the front plate 43 and the headlight module 5 can be parallel to the lens optical axis L0, or can be inclined at an angle other than 90 degrees to the lens optical axis L0. In addition, the side wall 44 is also a closed structure extending around the lens optical axis L0. In a cross section perpendicular to the lens optical axis L0, the extension trajectory of the side wall 44 around the lens optical axis L0 can be a square trajectory, a circular trajectory, or a trajectory of any other shape around the lens optical axis L0.
[0098] It should be noted that, in order to describe the structural features of the outer part of the lens and the positional relationship between the outer part of the lens and the projection lens 51, the outer part of the lens is divided into two parts, namely the front plate 43 and the side wall 44. However, the front plate 43 and the side wall 44 can be an integral structure, and there may be no obvious physical dividing line between the front plate 43 and the side wall 44; and both the front plate 43 and the side wall 44 can be formed by a combination of two or more different parts.
[0099] In this embodiment, the lamp housing 4 includes a first portion 41 and a second portion 42 that are buckled together in the first direction X. The first portion 41 includes the front plate 43 and the side wall 44 , that is, the outer portion of the lens is a part of the first portion 41 .
[0100] Please continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5. The side wall 44 of the headlight housing 4 is also provided with a first opening 7 that communicates with the first accommodating cavity 45. For ease of description, the direction perpendicular to the plane where the first opening 7 is located is defined herein as the second direction Y, and the second direction Y is also the opening direction of the first opening 7. The first opening 7 passes through the side wall 44 along the second direction Y, connecting the first accommodating cavity 45 located on both sides of the side wall 44 with the external space. The second direction Y can be perpendicular to the lens optical axis L0, or it can be set at an angle relative to the lens optical axis L0 (the angle between the two is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees). The angular relationship between the second direction Y and the lens optical axis L0 is related to the angular relationship between the side wall 44 at the location of the first opening 7 and the lens optical axis L0.
[0101] The following describes an exemplary embodiment of the present invention using the example of a configuration in which the plane of the first opening 7 is parallel to the lens optical axis L0, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the lens optical axis L0, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. Those skilled in the art can adjust the configuration to one in which the second direction Y is tilted relative to the lens optical axis L0 (the angle between the two directions is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees) based on the following description.
[0102] According to the above description of the headlight module 5, the first opening 7 is located at a position that is not opposite to the projection lens 51. The headlight beam emitted by the headlight module 5 through the projection lens 51 cannot be directly projected onto the first opening 7, and therefore cannot be projected through the first opening 7 to the outside of the first accommodating cavity 45.
[0103] Based on this, the smart car lamp 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a reflecting device 8, which is installed in the first accommodating cavity 45 of the car lamp housing 4 and is located between the first opening 7 and the projection lens 51. The reflecting device 8 may include at least one reflector 81, and the reflector 81 may be a plane reflector, a curved reflector or other optical device that can realize the reflection function. The reflecting device 8 can change the propagation direction of the car lamp light beam through the reflection effect of the reflector 81. In the smart car lamp 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the car lamp light beam emitted from the projection lens 51 can be incident on the reflecting device 8, and the reflecting device 8 can reflect the incident car lamp light beam to the first opening 7, and the car lamp light beam reflected to the first opening 7 can be irradiated to the outside of the first accommodating cavity 45.
[0104] Continuing with Figures 3 to 5 , the smart headlight 3 further includes a transparent lampshade 6 , which is mounted on the exterior of the headlight housing 4 and located directly in front of the first opening 7 . The transparent lampshade 6 is oriented in the same direction as the first opening 7 , namely, in the second direction Y. Here, "directly in front of the first opening 7" refers to a position on the side of the plane of the first opening 7 away from the first accommodating cavity 45 and opposite the first opening 7 in the second direction Y. The transparent lampshade 6 serves as a protective cover for the first opening 7 , and the headlight beam reflected from the first opening 7 is projected outside the first accommodating cavity 45 through the transparent lampshade 6 .
[0105] In some embodiments, the transparent lampshade 6 can block the first opening 7 on the vehicle lamp housing 4 , so that the first accommodating cavity 45 is in a sealed state, thereby achieving a waterproof and dustproof effect on the structure located in the first accommodating cavity 45 .
[0106] When the smart lamp 3 having the above structure is installed on the vehicle 100, it is fixedly mounted on the inside of the front bumper 1, with the transparent lampshade 6 and the third opening 2 in the front bumper 1 positioned opposite each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In other words, the second direction Y is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the transparent lampshade 6 and the third opening 2 are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The light beam emitted from the transparent lampshade 6 by the smart lamp 3 can be projected through the third opening 2 onto the outside of the front bumper 1, thereby enabling the smart lamp 3 mounted on the inside of the front bumper 1 to function normally.
[0107] When the transparent lampshade 6 of the smart headlight 3 is positioned opposite the third opening 2 in the front bumper 1, the lens optical axis L0 is parallel to a plane perpendicular to the vehicle's length, that is, a plane parallel to both the vehicle's width and height. As described above, the headlight module 5 extends longer in the first direction X (the direction of the lens optical axis L0) and shorter in other directions. Therefore, when the smart headlight 3 having the above structure is installed on the vehicle 100, the smart headlight 3 extends shorter in the vehicle's length and longer in a plane perpendicular to the vehicle's length. Therefore, the space inside the front bumper 1 of the vehicle 100, which extends shorter in the vehicle's length and longer in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle's length, can be fully utilized. The smart headlight 3 can be installed within the existing space in the vehicle 100 or with minor adjustments to the vehicle's styling. This reduces the difficulty of installing the smart headlight 3 on the vehicle 100 and alleviates the significant impact of the installation of the smart headlight 3 on the vehicle's styling.
[0108] In the smart headlight 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the reflector 8 can be installed on the headlight module 5 or on the headlight housing 4. The number and position of the reflectors 81 in the reflector 8 can be determined based on the installation posture of the smart headlight 3 on the vehicle 100, the directional characteristics of the headlight beam emitted by the headlight module 5, and the relative position of the first opening 7 and the projection lens 51.
[0109] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, the smart headlight 3 is installed on the inner side of the front bumper 1 of the car 100 in a vertical posture, that is, the first direction X is parallel to the height direction of the car. In addition, the projection lens 51 is located at the top of the headlight module 5. In this case, the reflecting device 8 is located above the headlight module 5 and may include only one reflector 81. The projection lens 51 and the first opening 7 are both located on the same side of the reflective surface in the reflector 81. The headlight beam emitted from the projection lens 51 is incident on the reflector 81, and the reflector 81 reflects the headlight beam into the first opening 7. The headlight beam reflected to the first opening 7 is emitted through the transparent lampshade 6.
[0110] In some other embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the smart headlight 3 is installed on the inner side of the front bumper 1 of the car 100 in a horizontal horizontal posture, that is, the first direction X is parallel to the width direction of the car. In this case, the reflecting device 8 is located on one side of the headlight module 5 in the width direction of the car, and may include two reflectors 81, the two reflectors 81 being a first reflector 81a and a second reflector 81b. The first reflector 81a and the second reflector 81b are sequentially arranged between the projection lens 51 and the first opening 7, and are arranged in the height direction of the car. The headlight beam emitted from the projection lens 51 is incident on the first reflector 81a along the width direction of the car. The first reflector 81a reflects the headlight beam to the second reflector 81b located above, and the second reflector 81b reflects the headlight beam into the first opening 7.
[0111] Referring to FIG. 9 , in the smart headlight 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the reflective device 8 may further include a first drive device 82 for driving a reflector 81 to rotate about a first axis L1. The first axis L1 is located on the reflective surface of the reflector 81 and is perpendicular to the normal of the reflector 81. By driving the reflector 81 to rotate about the first axis L1, the reflection angle of the reflector 81 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the angle of the headlight beam emitted from the transparent lampshade 6, thereby expanding the illumination range of the smart headlight 3.
[0112] The first drive device 82 can be any device capable of driving the reflector 81 to rotate about the first axis L1. For example, as shown in FIG9 , the first drive device 82 includes a first bracket 87, a second bracket 86, a first motor 85, and a first transmission mechanism. The reflector 81 is mounted on the first bracket 87, which is fixedly provided with a first rotating shaft having the first axis L1 as its central axis. The first bracket 87 is rotatably mounted on the second bracket 86 about the first axis L1 via the first rotating shaft. The first bracket 87 and the first rotating shaft can be integrally formed or independently fixedly connected.
[0113] The first motor 85 is also mounted on the second bracket 86, and the first transmission mechanism is provided between the first motor 85 and the first bracket 87. The first transmission mechanism includes a first gear 84 and a second gear 83 that mesh with each other. The first gear 84 is mounted on the motor shaft of the first motor 85, and the second gear 83 is mounted on the first rotating shaft.
[0114] During the operation of the first driving device 82, the motor shaft of the first motor 85 drives the first gear 84 to rotate, and the first gear 84 drives the first bracket 87 and the reflector 81 on the first bracket 87 to rotate around the first axis L1 through the second gear 83; thereby adjusting the reflection angle of the reflector 81, thereby adjusting the angle of the headlight beam emitted from the transparent lampshade 6; and thus achieving the purpose of expanding the illumination range of the smart headlight 3.
[0115] The first transmission mechanism may also employ other transmission mechanisms capable of converting the rotation of the motor shaft of the first motor 85 into rotation of the first bracket 87 about its axis, such as a worm gear transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, a chain transmission mechanism, etc. In some other embodiments, the first driving device 82 may omit the first transmission mechanism, and the first motor 85 may directly drive the reflector 81 to rotate about its axis via the motor shaft.
[0116] As can be seen from the above description, the second bracket 86 is a mounting bracket for the reflector 8, which is used to provide a mounting structure and mounting support for other structures of the reflector 8. The reflector 8 can be mounted on the headlight module 5 or on the headlight housing 4 via the second bracket 86.
[0117] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG9 , the second bracket 86 is mounted on the portion of the light module 5 located outside the projection lens 51 and is installed with an adjustable mounting angle about the first direction X. This design allows the mounting angle of the reflector 8 relative to the light module 5 to be adjusted during assembly, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and improving the assembly accuracy of the smart light 3 . It also reduces the requirements for the processing and assembly precision of the smart light 3 .
[0118] For a reflective device 8 employing two or more reflectors 81, a first drive device 82 can be used to drive at least one reflector 81 to rotate about a first axis L1. By driving the reflector 81 to rotate about the first axis L1, the reflection angle is changed, thereby adjusting the angle of the vehicle light beam emitted from the transparent lampshade 6. The structure and operating principle of the first drive device 82 can be found in the description above and will not be further elaborated here.
[0119] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12. The smart car lamp 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application may also include a second driving device 10 arranged between the car lamp housing 4 and the transparent lampshade 6. The second driving device 10 is used to drive the transparent lampshade 6 to move; the transparent lampshade 6 has a first state and a second state under the drive of the second driving device 10. For the smart car lamp 3, the transparent lampshade 6 in the first state is located directly in front of the first opening 7; relative to the first state, the transparent lampshade 6 is closer to the first opening 7 when in the second state. Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 at the same time. When the smart car lamp 3 is installed on the inner side of the front bumper 1 of the car 100, the transparent lampshade 6 in the first state is located in the third opening 2, and the transparent lampshade 6 in the second state is out of the third opening 2.
[0120] By setting up the second driving device 10, the transparent lampshade 6 can be controlled to enter the third opening 2 when the smart car light 3 is working. After the transparent lampshade 6 enters the third opening 2, the third opening 2 can be blocked, thereby improving the problem of air inflow during the driving of the car 100.
[0121] In some embodiments, the transparent lampshade 6 is located in the third opening 2 when in the first state, and the outer side of the transparent lampshade 6 is flush with the outer side of the front bumper 1. In this case, the outer side of the transparent lampshade 6 can adopt a profile design that matches the outer side of the front bumper 1. Matching here means having the same styling trends and can also be made of the same material. Such a design can ensure consistency with the outer side of the front bumper 1 when the transparent lampshade 6 is in the first state, thereby ensuring consistency in the front face shape of the automobile 100, avoiding problems that affect the appearance of the front bumper 1 due to the provision of the third opening 2 and the transparent lampshade 6, improving the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance of the front bumper 1, and achieving a better appearance effect.
[0122] The second driving device 10 can be a device capable of driving the transparent lampshade 6 to translate along the second direction Y relative to the vehicle lamp housing 4 . The transparent lampshade 6 has a first state and a second state during the translation along the second direction Y.
[0123] Exemplarily, as shown in Figures 10 to 12, the second driving device 10 includes a third bracket 101, a fourth bracket 103, a second motor 104 and a sliding rod 102; wherein, the transparent lampshade 6 is mounted on the third bracket 101, the second motor 104 is arranged on the fourth bracket 103, and the fourth bracket 103 is mounted on the lamp housing 4.
[0124] The sliding rod 102 is disposed between the third bracket 101 and the fourth bracket 103 and is a rod-shaped structure extending in the second direction Y. One end of the sliding rod 102 in the second direction Y is fixedly connected to the third bracket 101, and the other end is inserted into a sliding hole provided in the fourth bracket 103. Through the sliding fit between the sliding hole and the sliding rod 102, the third bracket 101 can translate relative to the fourth bracket 103 in the second direction Y.
[0125] The second motor 104 is a linear motor having a first push-pull rod 105 that is capable of linear sliding. In this embodiment, when in operation, the second motor 104 drives the first push-pull rod 105 to rotate and slide in the second direction Y. The end of the first push-pull rod 105 away from the fourth bracket is connected to the third bracket 101 via a bearing.
[0126] When the second driving device 10 is working, the second motor 104 drives the first push-pull rod 105 to drive the third bracket 101 to translate along the second direction Y relative to the fourth bracket 103; during the translation of the transparent lampshade 6 along the second direction Y with the third bracket 101, it has a first state and a second state.
[0127] In some embodiments, the sliding rod 102 is a sleeve structure in which two or more sleeves are slidably mounted together in the second direction Y, and the two ends of the sliding rod 102 are fixedly connected to the third bracket 101 and the fourth bracket 103 respectively; through the sliding between the sleeves in the sleeve structure, the third bracket 101 can be translated relative to the fourth bracket 103 along the second direction Y; and the sleeve structure can achieve the effect of reducing the space occupied by the structure during movement.
[0128] In some embodiments, the second driving device 10 includes a third bracket 101, a fourth bracket 103, a second motor 104 and a second transmission mechanism, wherein the transparent lampshade 6 is mounted on the third bracket 101, the second motor 104 is arranged on the fourth bracket 103, and the fourth bracket 103 is mounted on the lamp body 4.
[0129] The second motor 104 is a rotary motor having a rotating motor shaft. The second transmission mechanism is disposed between the second motor 104 and the third bracket 101. Any transmission mechanism capable of converting the rotation of the motor shaft of the second motor 104 into translational motion of the third bracket 101 may be used, such as a screw drive mechanism, a rack and pinion drive mechanism, a crank slider mechanism, and a cam slider mechanism. The third bracket 101 and the fourth bracket 103 may also be provided with a limiting structure such as a slide rod structure or a slide rail structure.
[0130] For example, in a second drive device 10 in which the second transmission mechanism utilizes a threaded screw transmission mechanism, the threaded screw transmission mechanism may include a fixed sleeve fixedly mounted on the third bracket 101 and a lead screw connected to the second motor 104. The fixed sleeve is mounted on the lead screw and is provided with an internal thread structure that threadably engages with the lead screw. During operation of the second drive device 10, the second motor 104 drives the lead screw to rotate, and the threaded engagement between the fixed sleeve and the lead screw drives the third bracket 101 and the transparent lampshade 6 to translate along the second direction Y. Furthermore, the use of a sleeve structure can reduce the space occupied by the structure during movement.
[0131] The smart car light 3 also includes a sealing soft adhesive 9, which is a cylindrical structure extending along a line parallel to the second direction Y. The sealing soft adhesive 9 is connected to the car light housing 4 and the transparent lampshade 6 at its ends in the second direction Y. The car light housing 4, the transparent lampshade 6, and the sealing soft adhesive 9 form a sealed cavity that seals the space between the transparent lampshade 6 and the first opening 7. A second driving device 10 may also be disposed within this sealed cavity. Furthermore, the sealing soft adhesive 9 is formed as an elastic rubber sleeve that can expand and contract to a certain extent in the second direction Y.
[0132] Thus, it can be seen that by providing the sealing soft glue 9, a sealed cavity can be formed to seal the space between the transparent lampshade 6 and the first opening 7, thereby ensuring the sealing of the first accommodating cavity 45, keeping the first accommodating cavity 45 in a sealed state, and achieving a waterproof and dustproof effect on the structure in the first accommodating cavity 45. In addition, the sealing soft glue 9 can expand and contract in the second direction Y, thereby maintaining a good sealing performance during the movement of the transparent lampshade 6 along the second direction Y.
[0133] Referring to Figures 13 to 15 , the second driving device 10 can also be a device capable of driving the transparent lampshade 6 to rotate about a second axis L2. The second axis L2 is parallel to a third direction Z, which can be any direction parallel to the plane of the first opening 7. Furthermore, the second axis L2 is located outside the transparent lampshade 6. This design allows the transparent lampshade 6 to shift relative to the first opening 7 during rotation about the second axis L2. This shift allows the transparent lampshade 6 to enter and exit the third opening 2 when the smart car lamp 3 is installed on the vehicle 100. As can be seen, the transparent lampshade 6 has a first state and a second state during rotation about the second axis L2.
[0134] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 13 to 15, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. The second driving device 10 is mounted on the lamp housing 4 and includes a rotating drum 106 and a second motor 104. The rotating drum 106 is arranged opposite to the first opening 7. It can be arranged directly in front of the first opening 7, or it can partially extend into the first accommodating cavity 45 through the first opening 7. The rotating drum 106 is a cylindrical structure with the second axis L2 as the central axis, and the transparent lampshade 6 is mounted on the outer circumference of the rotating drum 106. The rotating drum 106 is also provided with an optical path channel 107 connected to the transparent lampshade 6. The optical path channel 107 extends in the rotating drum 106 in a direction perpendicular to the second axis L2 and passes through the rotating drum 106 on the side opposite to the transparent lampshade 6.
[0135] The second motor 104 is connected to the rotating drum 106 and is used to drive the rotating drum 106 to rotate about the second axis L2. The transparent lampshade 6 rotates with the rotating drum 106 about the second axis L2, and has a first state and a second state. As shown in part (a) of Figure 15 , in the first state, the transparent lampshade 6 is located directly in front of the first opening 7. That is, in the second direction Y, the first opening 7 and the transparent lampshade 6 are aligned. Furthermore, the optical path 107 rotates parallel to the second direction Y, forming an optical path connecting the reflector 8 and the transparent lampshade 6. The light beam reflected by the reflector 8 can enter the rotating drum 106 through the optical path 107, illuminate the transparent lampshade 6 along the optical path 107, and then exit the rotating drum 106. When the smart car light 3 is installed on the vehicle 100, the transparent lampshade 6 in the first state is located in the third opening 2, effectively blocking the third opening 2 and improving the problem of air inflow during driving.
[0136] As shown in part (b) of Figure 15 , the transparent lampshade 6 in the second state rotates with the rotating roller 106 to a position not opposite the first opening 7, that is, to a position offset from directly in front of the first opening 7. The optical path 107 also rotates to a position not parallel to the second direction Y. The light beam reflected by the reflector 8 cannot pass through the rotating roller 106 to the outside. When the smart lamp 3 is installed on the vehicle 100, the transparent lampshade 6 in the second state is released from the third opening 2.
[0137] Continuing with reference to Figures 13 to 15 , in some embodiments, the second driving device 10 further includes a drum housing 11 and a sealing rubber 9. The drum housing 11 is connected to the lamp housing 4 and defines a second accommodating cavity 112 and a second opening 111 extending through the second accommodating cavity 112. The rotating drum 106 and the first opening 7 are both located in the second accommodating cavity 112. The second opening 111 is located directly in front of the first opening 7, and the transparent lampshade 6 in the first state can be exposed through the second opening 111. When the transparent lampshade 6 rotates to the second state, the transparent lampshade 6 is located within the second accommodating cavity 112, and structures elsewhere on the outer circumference of the rotating drum 106 are exposed through the second opening 111.
[0138] The smart headlight 3 also includes a sealing rubber 9, which comprises a plurality of sealing sheets 91 mounted on a rotating drum 106. The sealing sheets 91 extend in a plane parallel to the second axis L2 and extend from both end surfaces and the outer circumference of the rotating drum 106 in the third direction Z. The extended portions extend from the rotating drum 106 toward the drum housing 11 and abut against the inner wall of the drum housing 11. Furthermore, the plurality of sealing sheets 91 in the sealing rubber 9 are spaced apart along the outer circumference of the rotating drum 106.
[0139] By providing the sealing soft rubber 9, the gap between the rotating drum 106 and the drum shell 11 can be sealed, thereby ensuring the sealing of the first accommodating chamber 45. In addition, the multiple sealing sheets 91 in the sealing soft rubber 9 are arranged at intervals along the outer circumference of the rotating drum 106. This ensures that when the transparent lampshade 6 moves between the first state and the second state, the sealing sheets 91 on the rotating drum 106 always abut against the inner wall of the drum shell 11, thereby maintaining a good sealing performance during the movement of the transparent lampshade 6.
[0140] Please refer to Figure 16. In the automobile 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, a baffle assembly 13 is further provided between the smart headlight 3 and the third opening 2. The baffle assembly 13 includes a non-transparent baffle 12 and a third driving device. The non-transparent baffle 12 is mounted on the third driving device. The third driving device is used to drive the non-transparent baffle 12 to move. Under the drive of the third driving device, the non-transparent baffle 12 has a third state of closing the third opening 2 and a fourth state of opening the third opening 2. Here, closing the third opening 2 means blocking the third opening 2 by the non-transparent baffle 12, so that the third opening 2 cannot pass through the front bumper 1; opening the third opening 2 means that the non-transparent baffle 12 does not block the third opening 2 or does not block the entire third opening 2, and the third opening 2 still remains in a state of passing through the front bumper 1.
[0141] When the non-transparent cover 12 is in the third state, since the third opening 2 is closed, the light beam emitted by the smart headlight 3 cannot pass through the third opening 2 to illuminate the front of the car 100, and the smart headlight 3 cannot work normally.
[0142] When the non-transparent cover 12 is in the fourth state, due to the opening of the third opening 2, the headlight beam emitted by the smart headlight 3 can pass through the third opening 2 to the front of the car 100, that is, the smart headlight 3 can work through the third opening 2 when the non-transparent cover 12 is in the fourth state.
[0143] In the car 100 with the baffle assembly 13, the baffle assembly 13 controls the movement of the non-transparent baffle 12 through the third driving device, so that the third opening 2 can be opened when the smart car light 3 needs to work; and the third opening 2 can be closed when the smart car light 3 does not need to work; thereby, the smart car light 3 can be hidden when the smart car light 3 is not working, and the third opening 2 can be prevented from damaging the integrity of the front face shape of the car 100; it can also prevent the smart car light 3 from being constantly subjected to wind erosion when the car 100 is driving, thereby protecting the smart car light 3; it can also avoid damage to the smart car light 3 when the car 100 is scratched.
[0144] In addition, the cover assembly 13 drives the non-transparent cover 12 to move through the third driving device to open and close the third opening 2. This method can increase the technological sense of the car 100 and enhance the user experience.
[0145] The shield assembly 13 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be installed on the body structure of the automobile 100 or on the smart headlight 3. When the shield assembly 13 is installed on the smart headlight 3, the shield assembly 13 and the smart headlight 3 can be combined into a single unit; that is, the shield assembly 13 can be designed as a part of the smart headlight 3. With this design, the smart headlight 3 and the shield assembly 13 can be assembled on the automobile 100 in one installation, which facilitates the assembly and installation of the smart headlight 3 and the shield assembly 13 on the automobile 100.
[0146] In some embodiments, the opaque cover 12 is located in the third opening 2 when in the third state and is capable of blocking the third opening 2. Therefore, the opaque cover 12 has a shape and size that matches the third opening 2. For example, if the third opening 2 is circular, the opaque cover 12 is a circular cover structure of the same size as the third opening 2. For another example, if the third opening 2 is square, the opaque cover 12 is a square cover structure of the same size as the third opening 2.
[0147] In some embodiments, the non-transparent cover 12 is located in the third opening 2 when in the third state, and the outer side surface of the non-transparent cover 12 is flush with the outer side surface of the front bumper 1. In this case, the outer side surface of the non-transparent cover 12 can adopt a profile design that matches the outer side surface of the front bumper 1. Matching here means having the same styling trend, and can also have the same material and color. With such a design, when the non-transparent cover 12 is in the third state, it can ensure consistency with the outer side surface of the front bumper 1, thereby ensuring consistency in the front face shape of the car 100, avoiding the problem of affecting the appearance of the front bumper 1 due to the provision of the third opening 2 and the non-transparent cover 12, improving the integrity and aesthetics of the appearance of the front bumper 1, and achieving a better appearance effect; at the same time, it can achieve better hiding of the smart headlights 3.
[0148] In other embodiments, the outer surface of the opaque cover 12 can be designed in the shape of a car logo or have a car logo placed on it, thereby providing a car logo identification function. This design, on the one hand, eliminates the need for a separate car logo on the front of the car 100, thus simplifying the structure; on the other hand, the opaque cover 12 allows the car logo to move during movement, thus realizing the function of a movable car logo, enhancing the technological sense of the car 100 and providing a better user experience.
[0149] In the cover assembly 13 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the third driving device can achieve switching between the third and fourth states by driving the opaque cover 12 to move laterally relative to the third opening 2. In this embodiment, when the smart car light 3 is installed on the vehicle 100, the transparent lampshade 6 and the third opening 2 are arranged opposite each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle; therefore, the third driving device can achieve lateral movement relative to the third opening 2 by driving the opaque cover 12 to slide in the third direction Z.
[0150] For example, as shown in Figures 16 to 19, the baffle cover assembly 13 can be installed on the body structure of the automobile 100, and the third driving device in the baffle cover assembly 13 includes a fifth bracket 136, a connecting rod mechanism 134 and a third motor 131, wherein the non-transparent baffle cover 12 is provided with sliding protrusions 135 on both sides along the third direction Z, and the sliding protrusion 135 and the non-transparent baffle cover 12 can be an integral structure or two independent parts fixedly connected.
[0151] The fifth bracket 136 is a frame structure surrounding the opaque cover 12. This frame structure includes two opposing slide rods, each extending along the third direction Z and positioned on either side of the opaque cover 12. The slide rods are provided with a sliding groove 133 on the side facing the opaque cover 12, which engages with a sliding protrusion 135. Through the engagement of the sliding groove 133 with the sliding protrusion 135, the opaque cover 12 is slidably mounted on the fifth bracket 136 and can slide on the fifth bracket 136. The sliding trajectory of the opaque cover 12 on the fifth bracket 136 is related to the extension trajectory of the sliding groove 133.
[0152] As shown in FIG18 , the sliding groove 133 on the fifth bracket 136 includes a first sliding groove section 133a, a connecting sliding groove section 133b, and a second sliding groove section 133c. The first sliding groove section 133a, the connecting sliding groove section 133b, and the second sliding groove section 133c are sequentially connected in the third direction Z. The first sliding groove section 133a is located directly opposite the third opening 2, while the connecting sliding groove section 133b and the second sliding groove section 133c are located to one side of the position directly opposite the third opening 2. Furthermore, in the second direction Y, the first sliding groove section 133a is closer to the third opening 2 than the second sliding groove section 133c.
[0153] With such a design, when the non-transparent cover 12 slides onto the first slide groove section 133a, it can enter the third opening 2, that is, move to the third state; when the non-transparent cover 12 slides onto the second slide groove section 133c, it can escape from the third opening 2 and move sideways to one side of the third opening 2, that is, move to the fourth state.
[0154] The third motor 131 is a linear motor having a second push-pull rod 132 that is capable of linear sliding. In this embodiment, the third motor 131 is mounted on the fifth bracket 136, and the sliding direction of the second push-pull rod 132 is parallel to the third direction Z. The second push-pull rod 132 is connected to the opaque cover 12 via a linkage 134. By providing the linkage 134 between the opaque cover 12 and the second push-pull rod 132, the second push-pull rod 132 of the third motor 131 can, when sliding linearly, pull the opaque cover 12, located at any position on the fifth bracket 136, relative to the fifth bracket 136 along the third direction Z. The opaque cover 12 can have a third state and a fourth state during its sliding process on the fifth bracket 136.
[0155] As shown in Figure 16, when the non-transparent cover 12 slides to the third state on the fifth bracket 136, the non-transparent cover 12 enters the third opening 2 and closes the third opening 2; at this time, the transparent lampshade 6 cannot enter the third opening 2, and the second driving device 10 can drive the transparent lampshade 6 to move to the second state.
[0156] As shown in FIG19 , when the opaque cover 12 slides on the fifth bracket 136 to the fourth state, the opaque cover 12 is removed from the third opening 2 , and the second driving device 10 can drive the transparent cover to switch between the first state and the second state. For example, the transparent lampshade 6 is driven to move into the third opening 2 .
[0157] In some embodiments, the third driving device in the baffle assembly 13 may include a first driving part and a second driving part, wherein the non-transparent baffle 12 is mounted on the first driving part, and the first driving part is used to drive the non-transparent baffle 12 to translate along the length direction of the car, and the non-transparent baffle 12 has a third state and a fifth state under the drive of the first driving part. For the description of the third state, please refer to the above. The non-transparent baffle 12 in the fifth state is located outside the third opening 2 and is located on the inner side of the front bumper 1 opposite to the third opening 2. In this case, the non-transparent baffle 12 will block the light generated by the smart car light 3, affecting the transmission of the light beam of the smart car light 3 to the third opening 2.
[0158] The first driving portion and the non-transparent cover 12 are mounted on the second driving portion. The second driving portion is configured to drive the first driving portion and the non-transparent cover 12 to move. The movement may be translational movement in a direction perpendicular to the length of the vehicle or rotational movement about an axis parallel to the length of the vehicle. The first driving portion and the non-transparent cover 12 have a fifth state and a fourth state during movement.
[0159] It can be seen from this that the third driving device including the first driving part and the second driving part can also drive the non-transparent cover 12 to move between the third state and the fourth state.
[0160] Referring to Figure 20, the third driving device can also be a device capable of driving the non-transparent cover 12 to rotate about a third axis L3, wherein the third axis L3 is parallel to a fourth direction, which can be any direction parallel to the plane where the third opening 2 is located; and the third axis L3 is located outside the non-transparent cover 12. With this design, the position of the non-transparent cover 12 can be offset relative to the third opening 2 during the process of rotating about the third axis L3. This position offset can enable the non-transparent cover 12 to enter and exit the third opening 2 when the smart car light 3 is installed on the car 100. It can be seen that the non-transparent cover 12 has a third state and a fourth state during the process of rotating about the third axis L3.
[0161] As can be seen from the above description, when the smart headlight 3 is installed on the vehicle 100, it is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the front bumper 1, and the transparent lampshade 6 is positioned opposite the third opening 2 in the front bumper 1. The transparent lampshade 6 is oriented in the same direction as the first opening 7. Therefore, the fourth direction can be parallel to the third direction Z. In other words, the third driving device can be a device capable of driving the non-transparent cover 12 to rotate about a third axis L3 parallel to the third direction Z.
[0162] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG20 , the baffle assembly 13 is mounted on the smart car light 3 and is combined with the smart car light 3 to form an integral device. That is, the smart car light 3 includes the baffle assembly 13, and the third driving device in the baffle assembly 13 includes a fourth motor 137, a sixth bracket 138, and a seventh bracket 139. The sixth bracket 138 is mounted on the car light housing 4, and the non-transparent baffle 12 is mounted on the seventh bracket 139. The seventh bracket 139 is rotatably mounted on the sixth bracket 138 around a third axis L3 parallel to the third direction Z. The fourth motor 137 is mounted on the sixth bracket 138 and directly drives the seventh bracket 139, that is, the non-transparent baffle 12 rotates around the axis, thereby realizing the switching of the non-transparent baffle 12 between the third state and the fourth state. In this embodiment, the non-transparent baffle 12 and the seventh bracket 139 are an integral structure, and the sixth bracket 138 and the car light housing 4 are an integral structure.
[0163] In some embodiments, an intermediate transmission mechanism may be provided between the seventh bracket 139 and the fourth motor 137 to adjust the transmission ratio between the fourth motor 137 and the seventh bracket 139, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the fourth motor 137 driving the seventh bracket 139 to rotate. The intermediate transmission mechanism may be a gear transmission mechanism, a worm gear transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, a chain transmission mechanism, or the like.
[0164] In the smart car lamp 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the smart car lamp 3 is integrated with a cover assembly 13 , and the second driving device 10 and the third driving device can also be integrated together and driven by the same second motor 104 .
[0165] For example, as shown in Figures 21 and 22, a third driving device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a fourth motor 137, a sixth bracket (not shown in the figure), a seventh bracket 139, an eighth bracket 141 and a driving disc 140; the description of the fourth motor 137, the sixth bracket (not shown in the figure), the seventh bracket 139 and the non-transparent cover 12 can be referred to above and will not be repeated here.
[0166] The drive disc 140 is mounted on the motor shaft of the fourth motor 137 and, driven by the fourth motor 137, is capable of rotating about a fourth axis L4 parallel to the third direction Z. It will be appreciated that when the fourth motor 137 directly drives the seventh bracket 139, the fourth axis L4 and the third axis L3 are coaxial. The drive disc 140 is provided with a drive groove 143, which is an arc-shaped groove extending around the fourth rotation axis and gradually increasing in distance from the fourth axis L4.
[0167] The transparent lampshade 6 is mounted on an eighth bracket 141, which is slidably mounted on the vehicle lamp housing 4 along the second direction Y. The eighth bracket 141 is further provided with a driving protrusion 142 that engages with a driving groove 143. The driving protrusion 142 and the driving groove 143 cooperate to convert the rotational motion of the fourth motor 137 into linear motion of the transparent lampshade 6 in the second direction Y. In other words, the third driving device and the second driving device 10 are integrated into a single structure. The fourth motor 137 can both drive the opaque cover 12 to switch between the third and fourth states and the transparent lampshade 6 to switch between the first and second states. Furthermore, by adjusting the mounting relationship between the driving groove 143, the seventh bracket 139, and the motor shaft of the fourth motor 137, the opaque cover 12 can be moved to the fourth state when the transparent lampshade 6 moves to the first state, and to the third state when the transparent lampshade 6 moves to the second state. This improves the synchronization of the movements of the opaque cover 12 and the transparent lampshade 6.
[0168] For another example, as shown in Figures 13 to 15 , in an embodiment where the second drive device 10 utilizes a rotating drum 106, the non-transparent cover 12 can also be disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating drum 106. During the process of the non-transparent cover 12 rotating along with the rotating drum 106 about a third axis L3 parallel to the third direction Z, the non-transparent cover 12 has a third state and a fourth state. Furthermore, by adjusting the relative positions of the non-transparent cover 12 and the transparent lampshade 6 on the rotating drum 106, the non-transparent cover 12 moves to the fourth state when the transparent lampshade 6 moves to the first state, and moves to the third state when the transparent lampshade 6 moves to the second state, thereby improving the synchronization of the movements of the non-transparent cover 12 and the transparent lampshade 6.
[0169] The cover assembly 13 provided in the embodiment of the present application can also adopt a flip-up design, that is, a third drive device drives the non-transparent cover 12 to rotate about a fifth axis, which is parallel to the plane of the third opening 2 and located inside the non-transparent cover 12. When the cover assembly 13 is installed on the vehicle 100, the fifth axis is located near the edge of the third opening 2; when transitioning from the third state to the fourth state, the non-transparent cover 12 flips toward the outside of the third opening 2, thereby achieving a flipping effect.
[0170] The cover assembly 13 adopts a flip-up design, and can achieve a "blinking" switching action when the non-transparent cover 12 switches between the third state and the fourth state, which is beneficial to improving the diversity of switching actions in the switching process of the cover assembly 13 driving the non-transparent cover 12, thereby improving the technological sense of the car 100.
[0171] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the barrier cover assembly 13 includes only one non-transparent barrier cover 12. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the non-transparent barrier cover 12 in the barrier cover assembly 13 can be designed as a split body. The non-transparent barrier cover 12 with a split body design can include at least two sub-barrier covers. Here, the at least two sub-barrier covers can be spliced and combined to form a complete non-transparent barrier cover 12, and the complete non-transparent barrier cover 12 can achieve blocking of the third opening 2. Exemplarily, the non-transparent barrier cover 12 can include two line-symmetrical sub-barrier covers; in another exemplary embodiment, the non-transparent barrier cover 12 can include multiple centrally symmetrical sub-barrier covers.
[0172] In the cover assembly 13 of the non-transparent cover 12 which adopts a split design, the third driving device controls the movement of each sub-cover respectively, so as to realize the switching of the non-transparent cover 12 between the third state and the fourth state.
[0173] In the above embodiment, the car 100 includes an intelligent headlight 3, and the intelligent headlight 3 is provided on the front bumper 1 and located on the central axis plane S of the vehicle body. However, the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.
[0174] In some embodiments, the car 100 includes a smart headlight 3 , which can be set inside any position of the front bumper 1 .
[0175] For example, the smart lamp 3 can be integrated into the left headlight 110 or the right headlight 120. In this case, the openings on the front bumper 1 corresponding to the left and right headlights 110 and 120 can serve as the third opening 2, eliminating the need for a separate third opening 2. Furthermore, since both the left and right headlights 110 and 120 have lampshades, the cover assembly 13 can be omitted.
[0176] For example, the smart headlight 3 is positioned outside the left headlight 110, the right headlight 120, and the vehicle's mid-axis plane S. In this case, the front bumper 1 is provided with a third opening 2 corresponding to the smart headlight 3. The vehicle 100 may also be provided with a symmetrical design structure, which is symmetrically positioned with the third opening 2 relative to the vehicle's mid-axis plane S and may have the same exterior design. This symmetrical design enhances the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. Furthermore, the symmetrical design structure can be used to accommodate other functional devices, such as cameras, lidar, and vehicle sensors.
[0177] In some embodiments, two smart car lights 3 can be provided.
[0178] For example, the two smart headlights 3 may be integrated into the left headlight 110 and the right headlight 120 , respectively.
[0179] As another example, the two smart lights 3 can be positioned outside the left and right headlights 110, 120. In this case, the two smart lights 3 can be symmetrically positioned relative to the vehicle body's central axis S; for example, they can be positioned above or below the left and right headlights 110, 120, respectively. A third opening 2 corresponding to the smart lights 3 is provided on the front bumper 1.
[0180] In some embodiments, multiple smart headlights 3 may be provided. In this case, in order to improve the aesthetics of the automobile 100 , the multiple smart headlights 3 may also be symmetrically arranged relative to the central axis plane S of the vehicle body.
[0181] The above embodiments are all described using the front bumper 1 as an example, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG23 , the automobile 100 has a rear bumper 15 at the rear portion, and the above-mentioned solutions are also applicable to the rear bumper 15. In other words, the solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to bumpers, and the bumper can be the front bumper 1 or the rear bumper 15.
[0182] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
