[0057] Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are mainly possible implementations intended to describe the technical solutions of the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the technical solutions of the present application. In the description, identical or similar components are indicated by identical or similar reference numerals.
[0058] At present, more and more motor vehicles are using cameras and radar detection devices (such as millimetre wave radars or laser radars) for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). One feasible solution is to integrate the cameras and radar detection devices into the vehicle lamps. However, in cold weather, when the surfaces of the vehicle lamps are covered with ice, the functions of the cameras and radar detection devices will be interfered with by the ice. In this case, it is necessary to mount heaters for the cameras and radar detection devices to remove ice. The heaters known by the applicant mostly use metal wire for heating to remove ice, but these heaters often affect the shape of the vehicle lamps and even affect the normal use functions of the cameras and radar detection devices.
[0059] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application propose a lighting device that can not only meet customers' demand for styling, but also take into account the normal use of cameras and radar detection devices.
[0060] is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a lighting device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application at a first viewing angle.is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of the lighting device 100 inat a second viewing angle.is a schematic diagram of an exploded structure of the lighting device 100 in, and also shows a radar detection device 200 and a camera 300.is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of the lighting device 100 in, and also shows the radar detection device 200 and the camera 300.is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of the lighting device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, showing a heating film 120 and a first area 111 and a second area 112 of a front lens 110.is a schematic diagram of an equivalent circuit of a heating assembly 12b of a light-emitting assembly 100 in.
[0061] As shown in FIGS. 1a to 2b, the embodiment of the present application proposes a lighting device 100. The lighting device includes a front lens 110 and a heating film 120 located on a rear side of the front lens 110. The heating film 120 includes a membrane 12a and a heating assembly 12b formed on the membrane 12a. The heating assembly 12b is used to generate heat to heat the front lens 110. The heating assembly 12b includes a first heating structure 121 and a second heating structure 122. The first heating structure 121 is formed with a hollowed-out structure 121a, and the second heating structure 122 is transparent.
[0062] In this embodiment, the heating film 120 is disposed on the rear side of the front lens 110. The heating film 120 can be energized for heating, and heat generated by heating can remove ice formed on a front side of the front lens 110. When the radar detection device 200 and the camera 300 are integrated on a rear side of the lighting device 100, the ice on the front side of the front lens 110 is removed, thereby preventing the ice on the front side of the front lens 110 from interfering with the functions of the radar detection device 200 and the camera 300 in cold weather. In addition, the first heating structure 121 is formed with a hollowed-out structure 121a. The hollowed-out structure 121a here refers to a space not covered by the first heating structure 121. By providing the first heating structure 121 that is formed with the hollowed-out structure 121a, when the radar detection device 200 is integrated on the rear side of the lighting device 100, a radar signal of the radar detection device 200 can be normally transmitted through the hollowed-out structure 121a, so that a signal window 210 of the radar detection device 200 normally receives and sends the radar signal without being affected by the first heating structure 121. On the contrary, if the hollowed-out structure 121a is not provided, the entire first heating structure 121 is a complete plate-like structure, and in this case, the first heating structure 121 seriously affects the transmission of the radar signal. Finally, by providing the second heating structure 122 that is optically transparent, when the camera 300 is integrated on the rear side of the lighting device 100, the lens 310 of the camera 300 can normally capture an image or a video through the transparent second heating structure 122 without being affected by the second heating structure 122. In this embodiment, the front side refers to a side close to the front along a front direction D as shown in, and the rear side refers to a side close to the rear along the front direction D. When the lighting device 100 is mounted on a motor vehicle, the front direction D is generally or exactly directly towards the front of the motor vehicle.
[0063] In this embodiment, the membrane 12a may be made of PC material, PET material, a mixed material of PET and PC, or other suitable non-metallic materials, which are not enumerated here one by one. These non-metallic materials do not interfere with the radar signal, so the function of the radar detection device 200 is not affected by the membrane 12a. In addition, as shown in, at least the camera capture area 12c on the membrane 12a corresponding to the camera lens may be set to be transparent, so that the provision of the membrane 12a does not affect the camera function. Thus, the entire heating film 120 can realize the heating and ice removal functions without affecting the normal use of the radar detection device 200 and the camera 300. Since the transparent camera capture area 12c does not affect the camera function, it is not necessary to provide an avoidance hole on the front lens 110, that is, the front lens 110 is set to a complete solid structure to reduce the pollution of external dust and other pollution sources to components inside the lighting device 100.
[0064] In some embodiments, the entire membrane 12a may be set to be transparent, and the first heating structure 121 may also be set to be transparent, so that the first heating structure 121 and the second heating structure 122 are transparent and invisible from the outside without affecting the overall appearance of the lighting device 100. In other embodiments, the first heating structure 121 may also be opaque, and it is not limited in the present application.
[0065] As shown in, the front lens 110 includes a first area 111 and a second area 112 spaced from each other. At least part of the orthographic projection of the first heating structure 121 on the front lens 110 is located in the first area 111, and the first heating structure 121 is used to heat the first area 111 of the front lens 110. Preferably, a minimum envelope circle of the orthographic projection of the first heating structure 121 on the front lens 110 completely covers the first area 111, so that the first heating structure 121 can fully heat the first area 111 of the front lens 110. At least part of the orthographic projection of the second heating structure 122 on the front lens 110 is located in the second area 112, and the second heating structure 122 is used to heat the second area 112 of the front lens 110. Preferably, a minimum envelope circle of the orthographic projection of the second heating structure 122 on the front lens 110 completely covers the second area 112, so that the second heating structure 122 can fully heat the second area 112 of the front lens 110. During manufacturing, the heating film 120 may be manufactured first, and then the heating film 120 and the front lens 110 are injection-moulded together by means of in-mould injection. When manufacturing the heating film 120, a membrane 12a may be provided first, and then a first heating structure 121 and a second heating structure 122 are electroplated on the membrane 12a.
[0066] As shown in FIGS. 1c and 1d, the lighting device 100 may also include a housing 130. The integrated part formed by the front lens 110 and the heating film 120 is mounted on the housing 130, and a radar mounting structure 131 and a camera mounting structure 132 is provided on the housing 130.
[0067] The radar mounting structure 131 cooperates with an external radar holder 20 and a screw 40 to mount a radar detection device 200 on the rear side of the lighting device 100. When the radar detection device 200 is mounted on the rear side of the lighting device 100, the orthographic projection of a signal window 210 of the radar detection device 200 on the front lens 110 is located in the first area 111, and the first area 111 is a transmission area of a radar signal on the front lens 110.
[0068] The camera mounting structure 132 cooperates with an external camera holder 30 and a screw 40 to mount a camera 300 on the rear side of the lighting device 100. When the camera 300 is mounted on the rear side of the lighting device 100, the orthographic projection of the lens 310 of the camera 300 on the front lens 110 is located in the second area 112, and the second area 112 is a corresponding capture area of the lens 310 of the camera 300 on the front lens 110.
[0069] As shown in, the first heating structure 121 is in a shape of strips spaced apart from each other, and a plurality of strip-shaped first heating structures 121 are disposed in parallel. In order to allow the radar signal to pass through the first heating structure normally, the width of each strip-shaped heating wire in the first heating structure 121 may be set to be less than 5 mm, and the width of the hollowed-out structure 121a formed by the first heating structure 121 is less than 10 mm, and is greater than the width of the heating wire. In other embodiments, the first heating structure 121 may be set in a grid shape. In this case, the heating wire of the first heating structure 121 may have a width between 2 and 30 um, and each grid formed by the first heating structure 121 has a width between 50 and 1000 um and a height between 1000 and 4000 um. The specific shape of the first heating structure 121 is not limited in the present application.
[0070] The second heating structure 122 may also be in a shape of strips spaced apart from each other. In order to make the second heating structure 122 appear transparent and not affect the normal capture of the camera 300, in other embodiments, the second heating structure may also be set in a grid shape or a continuous plate shape. The specific shape of the second heating structure 122 is not limited in the present application.
[0071] In some embodiments, the heating wire of the first heating structure 121 may include at least one of a silver nano wire, a micro copper wire, a micro alloy wire, a carbon nano tube and a nano wire. The heating wire of the second heating structure 122 may also include at least one of a silver nano wire, a micro copper wire, a micro alloy wire, a carbon nano tube and a nano wire.
[0072] As shown in FIGS 2a and 2b, in addition to the first heating structure 121 and the second heating structure 122, the heating assembly 12b includes a first electrode V1, a second electrode V2, an intermediate electrode Vm and a reference electrode GND. The first heating structure 121 is electrically connected between the first electrode V1 and the intermediate electrode Vm, and the equivalent resistance of the first heating structure 121 is R1. The second heating structure 122 is electrically connected between the second electrode V2 and the intermediate electrode Vm, and the equivalent resistance of the second heating structure 122 is R2. The intermediate electrode Vm is electrically connected to the reference electrode GND.
[0073] The first electrode V1 and the reference electrode GND are used to receive a first control signal, such as a voltage signal or a current signal, the first control signal being used to control the first heating structure 121 to generate heat. The second electrode V2 and the reference electrode GND are used to receive a second control signal, such as a voltage signal or a current signal, the second control signal being used to control the second heating structure 122 to generate heat.
[0074] In this embodiment, the heating assembly 12b may also include a third heating structure 123. The third heating structure 123 is electrically connected between the intermediate electrode Vm and the reference electrode GND. The equivalent resistance of the third heating structure 123 is R3, and the third heating structure 123 may be set to be transparent. In particular, when the connection path between the intermediate electrode Vm and the reference electrode GND needs to be light-transmitting, in order to avoid the influence of the connection line on light, it is necessary to set a transparent third heating structure 123. In other embodiments, the third heating structure 123 may also be omitted. In this case, the intermediate electrode Vm and the reference electrode GND are directly electrically connected through a copper bar.
[0075] In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the first heating structure 121 and the second heating structure 122 receive different control signals respectively, and the two may be controlled separately. In other embodiments, the first heating structure 121 and the second heating structure 122 may also be set to be connected in series, and the two receive the same control signal and are thus controlled synchronously.
[0076] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b,is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a lighting device provided by another embodiment of the present application, showing a heating film 120 and a first area 111 and a second area 112 of a front lens 110, wherein a first heating structure 121 and a second heating structure 122 are connected in series.is a schematic diagram of an equivalent circuit of a heating assembly of a light-emitting assembly in.
[0077] In addition to the first heating structure 121 and the second heating structure 122, the heating assembly 100 includes a first electrode V1, an intermediate electrode Vm and a reference electrode GND. The first heating structure 121 is electrically connected between the first electrode V1 and the intermediate electrode Vm, and the equivalent resistance of the first heating structure 121 is R1. The second heating structure is electrically connected between the intermediate electrode Vm and the reference electrode GND, and the equivalent resistance of the second heating structure 122 is R2. The first electrode V1 and the reference electrode GND are used to receive a control signal, such as a voltage signal or a current signal, the control signal being used to control the first heating structure 121 and the second heating structure 122 to generate heat.
[0078] Continuing to refer to FIGS 1a to 1d, the lighting device 100 may be used as a logo lamp. Specifically, the lighting device 100 may also include a light source assembly 140. The light source assembly 140 may include a circuit board and a light-emitting element disposed on the circuit board, and the light-emitting element is, for example, an LED. A logo structure 12d is provided on the membrane 12a, and the logo structure 12d is set to be transparent. When the light source assembly 140 of the lighting device 100 emits light, light emitted from the front lens 110 toward the front side presents the shape of the logo structure 12d. The logo structure 12d may include a first logo structure 12d1 and a second logo structure 12d2. For example, the first logo 12d1 presents a "V" shape as shown in the figure, and the second logo 12d2 presents a closed circle as shown in the figure. In other embodiments, the logo structure 12d may also be in other shapes, and the lighting device 100 may also be used as a lighting lamp or signal lamp with other functions.
[0079] In order to dispose a camera capture area 12c and a logo structure 12d that are transparent, the membrane 12a may be set to be transparent, and an opaque ink may be applied to the area outside the camera capture area 12c and the logo structure 12d, so that the ink area of the membrane 12a is opaque, while the camera capture area 12c and the logo structure 12d are transparent.
[0080] In this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the logo structure 12d on the front lens 110 and the orthographic projection of the first heating structure 121 on the front lens 110 include an overlapping portion. In order to prevent the first heating structure 121 from blocking the logo structure 12d, the first heating structure 121 may also be set to be transparent, so that both the heating function of the first heating structure 121 and the logo function of the logo structure 12d can be used normally without interfering with each other.
[0081] In this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first logo structure 12d1 on the front lens and the orthographic projection of the first heating structure 121 on the front lens include an overlapping portion. The orthographic projection of the second logo structure 12d2 on the front lens and the orthographic projection of the heating assembly on the front lens include an overlapping portion, and all of the heating assembly corresponding to the overlapping portion is transparent. For example, the first heating structure 121, the second heating structure 122 and the third heating structure 123 overlapping with the second logo structure 12d2 are all transparent to prevent the heating assembly 12b from affecting the function of the second logo structure 12d2.
[0082] As shown in FIGS. 1c and 1d, the lighting device 100 further includes an inner lens 150 and a heat sink 160. The light source assembly 140 is mounted on the heat sink 160, and the light source assembly 140 and the heat sink 160 may be connected by thermal conductive glue. The heat sink 160 can dissipate heat for the light source assembly 140. The light source assembly 140 and the heat sink 160 are mounted on the housing 130. The inner lens 150 is used to receive and transmit light emitted by the light source assembly 140, so that the light is emitted from the front lens 110.
[0083] As shown in FIGS. 1c and 1d, the lighting device 100 may further include a rear lens 170. The heating film 120 is disposed between the front lens 110 and the rear lens 170, and the front lens 110, the heating film 120 and the rear lens 170 form an integral part. During manufacturing, the heating film 120 may be manufactured first, and then the heating film 120, the front lens 110 and the rear lens 170 are injection-moulded together by means of in-mould injection moulding. At this time, the front lens 110 and the rear lens 170 together form an outer lens, that is, the front lens 110 refers to a part of the entire outer lens close to the front side, and the rear lens 170 refers to a part of the entire outer lens close to the rear side. It is worth noting that the front lens 110, the heating film 120 and the rear lens 170 are substantially overlapped, and are all circular. However, the three may also be other shapes that are the same or different from each other. In addition, in some embodiments, the rear lens 170 may also be omitted, and only the front lens 110 is be used as the outer lens. Alternatively, the rear lens 170 and the inner lens 150 may be made into a lens element for transmitting a light beam emitted by the light source assembly 140.
