[0018] A detailed description of the present disclosure is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings to make other objectives and advantages of the present disclosure apparent and help achieve a comprehensive understanding of the present disclosure.

[0019] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The following description of embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings is intended to explain the overall disclosed concept of the present disclosure. As those skilled in the art will realize, the embodiments described could be modified in various ways without departing from the concept of the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. Therefore, the drawings and the description are essentially exemplary rather than limiting. Hereinafter, identical reference numerals generally denote functionally identical or similar elements.

[0020] In addition, in the following detailed description, for ease of explanation, many specific details are expounded to provide a comprehensive understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it is obvious that one or more embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In other scenarios, well-known structures and devices are shown in the form of illustrations to simplify the drawings.

[0021] shows a 3D drawing of a grille lamp of a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure;shows a cross-sectional drawing of a grille lamp of a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure;shows a cross-sectional drawing of a grille lamp of a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, viewed from another angle.

[0022] According to a general technical concept of the present disclosure, as shown in Figs. 1 - 3, a grille lamp 10 for a vehicle is provided, comprising a housing 100 and a lens 200, the lens 200 and the housing 100 together forming a closed structure, wherein the lens 200 is mounted on an inner side of a bumper 20 having a light transmission structure 301, and a protrusion 205 is formed on the lens 200, the protrusion passing through the light transmission structure 301 on the bumper 20.

[0023] Electronic and optical devices of the grille lamp 10 are accommodated in the closed structure formed by the lens 200 and the housing 100 together.

[0024] In an example, a positioning structure and a fixing structure are provided on the lens 200, wherein the positioning structure is used to provide positioning during assembly of the grille lamp 10 and the bumper 20, and the fixing structure is used to provide fixing between the grille lamp 10 and the bumper 20. Assembly precision can be increased by first using the positioning structure to provide positioning during assembly of the grille lamp 10 and the bumper 20, and then performing fixing between the grille lamp 10 and the bumper 20.

[0025] In an example, as shown in, the positioning structure comprises a guide hole 2011 and a first clip 2012, the guide hole 2011 and the clip 2012 mating with a guide post 21 and a second clip 22 on the bumper 20 respectively.

[0026] Specifically, the guide hole 2011 is located at a side edge of the lens, to allow the guide post on the inner side of the bumper 20 to pass through, thereby providing positioning during assembly of the grille lamp 10 and the bumper 20. At the same time, having the guide hole arranged at the side edge of the lens can also avoid affecting the optical effect of the lens.

[0027] The first clip 2012 on the lens side and the second clip 22 on the bumper side cooperate to provide preliminary fixing of the lens 200 and the bumper 20. Specifically, the first clip 2021 and the second clip 22 can fit together in an assembled state, thereby fixing the lens 200 on the bumper 20. The first clips 2012 are distributed in regions between the protrusions 205 on the lens 200, and the second clips 22 are distributed at corresponding positions on the bumper, thereby ensuring that when there are multiple protrusions 205, positioning at the multiple protrusions is guaranteed.

[0028] In a specific example, the first clip 2012 and the second clip 22 are mushroom clips. Mushroom clips can provide effective fitting between the first clip 2012 and the second clip 22, and can avoid separation of the first clip 2012 and the second clip 22 after pre-assembly, ensuring the reliability of a pre-assembled state, and thus avoiding possible surface variance issues.

[0029] Optionally, the first clip 2012 and the second clip 22 are respectively fixed to the lens 200 and the bumper 20 by adhesive or adhesive tape. In another example, the first clip 2012 and the second clip 22 may be fixed to the lens 200 and the bumper 20 in any suitable way; the present application imposes no specific restrictions in this respect.

[0030] In an example, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the fixing structure comprises a hole 101 formed in the housing 100 of the grille lamp 10, the hole being configured to have a screw 24 passed therethrough, so as to fix the grille lamp 10 to a middle support 23 of the bumper. After pre-assembly of the lens 200 and the bumper 20, the grille lamp 10 and the bumper 20 are fixed; an action force is applied from the middle support 23 side, pressing the lamp body against the bumper 20, and due to the uniformly distributed positioning in the forward direction, surface variance can be avoided as much as possible.

[0031] Specifically, there may be multiple said holes 101, distributed in corners of the grille lamp housing, to ensure reliable fixing.

[0032] In another example, there may also be a hole 101 in a middle position on the housing 100. Fixing at a middle position can ensure a surface variance effect with middle fitting, to avoid middle depression due to deformation, which would affect the final appearance.

[0033] In an example, the screw 24 is a compensating screw. When the screw is tightened, the compensating screw will expand upwards and downwards, to achieve the effect of controlling surface variance by positional limiting of the lamp body.

[0034] In the grille lamp according to the present application, the lens is pre-fitted to an inner surface of the bumper using the positioning structure, to guarantee a surface variance offset between the lens protrusion and the bumper exterior and achieve uniformly distributed positioning in a forward direction, and fixing is then performed to achieve a good effect in terms of visual fit.

[0035] According to another aspect of the present application, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle comprising the grille lamp described above arranged at a position on the vehicle where the air intake grille was originally; the middle grille lamp of the vehicle has a uniform light emission effect, enabling it to realize a welcome lamp function. The vehicle has the advantages of the grille lamp described above. The term “vehicle” mentioned herein may refer to any type of vehicle, e.g. a vehicle, a motorcycle, or any other moving machine capable of carrying at least one passenger or used for transporting people or goods.

[0037] Although the present application has been explained with reference to the drawings, the embodiments disclosed in the drawings are intended to provide an exemplary explanation of preferred implementations of the present application, and must not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0038] Although some embodiments of the concept of the present disclosure have been shown and explained, those skilled in the art will understand that changes may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the overall concept of the application. The scope of the present application is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
