[0052] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are examples for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0053] In the description of the present application, it needs to be understood that the orientation description, such as the orientation or position relationship indicated by up, down and the like, is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0054] In the description of the present application, more refers to more than two. If there is a description of first, second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the sequence of indicated technical features.

[0055] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly limited, the words such as arrangement, installation, connection and the like should be broadly understood, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above words in the present application in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0056] In the installation process of the vehicle lighting system, different installation methods need to be adopted for installation positions of different materials. For example, when installing the footwell lamp, the installation position is usually a plastic part; when installing the glove box lamp, the installation position is also usually a plastic part; in contrast, the installation position of the trunk lamp is usually a sheet metal part. Due to the thinness of the sheet metal part, in order to enhance the stability of the lighting lamp installation, a plastic intermediate part is usually embedded between the lighting lamp and the sheet metal part as support and reinforcement. Based on this, the assembly process of installing the lighting lamp on the plastic part and installing the lighting lamp on the sheet metal part is not the same, and the required parts are also different, so that the installation of the lighting lamp at different positions on the vehicle is obviously different.

[0057] Therefore, some embodiments of the present application propose a lighting lamp structure 20 applied to a vehicle. It can be understood that various areas on the vehicle are provided with lighting lamp structures 20, and these areas are respectively carried by specific mounting parts 100. Some embodiments of the present application also propose a lighting assembly 10, wherein the lighting assembly 10 comprises the lighting lamp structure 20 and the mounting part 100. In the present embodiment, the lighting lamp structure 20 can be used as a trunk lamp, a footwell lamp or a glove box lamp, and correspondingly, the mounting part 100 can be part of the structure in the trunk, part of the structure of the floor in the vehicle cabin, or part of the structure of the glove box, which is not limited in the present embodiment. It should be noted that the mounting part 100 has a first side and a second side facing away from each other. In the present embodiment, the first side is the outer end surface of the mounting part 100, and the second side is the inner end surface of the mounting part 100. The lighting lamp structure 20 and the lighting assembly 10 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1-17.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in one example, the mounting member 100 is a sheet metal member 120, for example, when the illumination lamp structure 20 is used as a trunk lamp, the mounting member 100 used for fixing the illumination lamp structure 20 in the trunk is a sheet metal member 120. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 or referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in another example, the mounting member 100 is a plastic member 130, for example, when the illumination lamp structure 20 is used as a footwell lamp, the mounting member 100 used for fixing the illumination lamp structure 20 in the trunk is a plastic member 130.

[0059] The following is described by taking the mounting member 100 as a sheet metal member 120 and the illumination lamp structure 20 as a trunk lamp. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 7, the sheet metal member 120 is provided with a mounting hole 110 penetrating through itself, wherein the mounting hole 110 is slightly larger than the illumination lamp structure 20 in size and is square in shape. In the embodiment, the minimum thickness of the sheet metal member 120 is greater than or equal to 0.7 mm and less than or equal to 1 mm in order to pursue lightweight design while ensuring the strength of the sheet metal member 120. It should be noted that the thickness of the sheet metal member 120 can be non-uniform or uniform, and the minimum thickness thereof can be understood as the thickness of the thinnest part of the sheet metal member 120.

[0060] It can be understood that, in order to achieve the fastening connection between the illumination lamp structure 20 and the sheet metal member 120, the sheet metal member 120 is formed with a first buckling groove 121 which is recessed inward along the thickness direction of the sheet metal member 120, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 7 and FIG. 14. The groove wall of the first buckling groove 121 along the thickness direction of the sheet metal member 120, i.e. the bottom wall of the first buckling groove 121, is formed with a second buckling groove 122 which is also recessed inward along the thickness direction of the sheet metal member 120. The groove wall of the second buckling groove 122 along the thickness direction of the sheet metal member 120, i.e. the bottom wall of the second buckling groove 122, is provided with the mounting hole 110, and the mounting hole 110 sequentially communicates the second buckling groove 122 and the first buckling groove 121, thereby forming a space for accommodating the illumination lamp structure 20, avoiding the illumination lamp structure 20 protruding from the outer end surface of the sheet metal member 120, and saving the space in the vehicle.

[0061] Based on this, referring to FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, in the embodiment of the present application, the lighting lamp structure 20 comprises a lamp body 200, the lamp body 200 has a light-emitting surface 211 for emitting light, and the lamp body 200 is provided with an end of the light-emitting surface 211, i.e., a light-emitting end. The light-emitting end of the lamp body 200 is provided with a panel 210, the panel 210 extends towards the periphery and protrudes from the side wall of the lamp body 200 along the outer periphery, thereby forming a convex edge 212, and the convex edge 212 extends along the periphery of the lamp body 200 to form a ring structure. When assembled, the lamp body 200 can be inserted into the mounting hole 110 from the outer side of the metal plate 120 towards the inner side, so that the lamp body 200 is arranged in the mounting hole 110, and the panel 210 is located on the outer side of the metal plate 120, so that the light-emitting surface 211 of the lamp body 200 is exposed outside the mounting 100.

[0062] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 7, in the embodiment of the present application, one side of the lamp body 200 is provided with a first limiting structure 220, the first limiting structure 220 is located on the inner side of the convex edge 212, and the first limiting structure 220 is arranged in a spaced manner with the convex edge 212 close to the first limiting structure 220, so that the first limiting structure 220 and the convex edge 212 cooperatively define a first limiting groove 221. Correspondingly, the other side of the lamp body 200 is provided with a second limiting structure 230, the second limiting structure 230 is located on the inner side of the convex edge 212, and the first limiting structure 220 is arranged in a spaced manner with the convex edge 212 close to the second limiting structure 230, so that the first limiting structure 220 and the convex edge 212 cooperatively define a second limiting groove 231. In the embodiment, the first limiting structure 220 and the second limiting structure 230 can be elastic bodies, and the shapes and positions thereof can be changed. The first limiting structure 220 and the second limiting structure 230 can also be rigid bodies, and the shapes and positions thereof are fixed and unchangeable. The present embodiment does not limit this.

[0063] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 14, when the lighting lamp structure 20 is mounted on the metal plate 120, the lamp body 200 can be inserted into the mounting hole 110, part of the metal plate 120 on one side of the mounting hole 110 is inserted into the first limiting groove 221, part of the metal plate 120 on the other side of the mounting hole 110 is inserted into the second limiting groove 231, and the convex edge 212 is attached to the bottom wall of the first buckling groove 121, thereby achieving the buckling of the lamp body 200 and the mounting hole 110, and achieving the stable connection of the lamp body 200 and the metal plate 120.

[0064] The following is described by taking the mounting piece 100 as a plastic piece 130 and the lighting lamp structure 20 as a footwell lamp. Referring to FIGS. 4 and 6, the plastic piece 130 is provided with a mounting hole 110 penetrating through the plastic piece 130, wherein the mounting hole 110 is slightly larger than the lighting lamp structure 20 in size and is square in shape. In the embodiment, the minimum thickness of the plastic piece 130 is greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm in order to pursue lightweight design while ensuring the strength of the plastic piece 130. It should be noted that the thickness of the plastic piece 130 can be non-uniform or uniform, and the minimum thickness can be understood as the thickness of the thinnest part of the plastic piece 130.

[0065] It can be understood that, compared with the sheet metal piece 120, the plastic piece 130 does not need to be provided with a double-layered buckling groove due to the larger thickness of the plastic piece 130. Specifically, referring to FIGS. 4 and 6, in the embodiment, the plastic piece 130 is formed with a third buckling groove 131 recessed inward along the thickness direction of the plastic piece 130, wherein the groove wall along the thickness direction of the plastic piece 130, i.e., the bottom wall of the third buckling groove 131, is provided with the mounting hole 110, and the mounting hole 110 communicates with the third buckling groove 131, thereby forming a space for accommodating the lighting lamp structure 20, avoiding the lighting lamp structure 20 protruding from the outer end surface of the plastic piece 130, and thereby saving the space in the vehicle.

[0066] Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, in the embodiment, in order to increase the overlapping area of the convex edge 212 and the plastic piece 130, two inner walls of the third buckling groove 131 along the length direction of the lamp body 200 are respectively provided with a matching groove 132 recessed along the length direction of the lamp body 200, wherein one matching groove 132 is connected with the first limiting structure 220, and the other matching groove 132 is connected with the second limiting structure 230.

[0067] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, when the lighting lamp structure 20 is mounted on the plastic piece 130, the lamp body 200 can be inserted into the mounting hole 110, the part of the plastic piece 130 on one side of the mounting hole 110 is inserted into the first limiting groove 221, and the part of the plastic piece 130 on the other side of the mounting hole 110 is inserted into the second limiting groove 231, wherein the first limiting structure 220 and the second limiting structure 230 respectively abut against the corresponding matching groove 132, and the convex edge 212 is attached to the bottom wall of the third buckling groove 131, thereby realizing the buckling of the lamp body 200 and the mounting hole 110 and realizing the stable connection of the lamp body 200 and the plastic piece 130.

[0068] It can be understood that the first limiting structure 220 cooperates with the convex edge 212 to define the first limiting groove 221 buckled with the mounting piece 100, and the second limiting structure 230 cooperates with the convex edge 212 to define the second limiting groove 231 buckled with the mounting piece 100, so as to realize the fixation of both ends of the lamp body 200. This mounting mode is not limited to being mounted on the sheet metal piece 120 or the plastic piece 130, but can be mounted on both the sheet metal piece 120 and the plastic piece 130, thereby improving the applicability of the lighting lamp structure 20, standardizing and unifying the installation of the lighting lamp structure 20, reducing the complexity of assembly, and further improving the assembly efficiency of the lighting lamp.

[0069] For the convenience of description, the following content is described by taking the mounting piece 100 as the sheet metal piece 120 as an example.

[0070] Referring to FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, in the embodiment of the present application, the upper end of the lamp body 200 is located on the inner side of the mounting piece 100, and the lower end of the lamp body 200 is a panel 210, which is located on the outer side of the mounting piece 100. Based on this, one side of the upper end of the lamp body 200 protrudes to form a terminal 240, which is used for electrical connection with the controller or other components in the vehicle through a data line. Since the terminal 240 protrudes from the lamp body 200, the projection area of the lamp body 200 on the mounting piece 100 is larger than the mounting hole 110. During assembly, the lamp body 200 can only pass through the mounting hole 110 obliquely.

[0071] In order to reduce the possibility of interference between the first limiting structure 220 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 110 when the lamp body 200 passes through the mounting hole 110 obliquely, referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal 240 is integrally formed with the lamp body 200 and is connected only to the upper half of the lamp body 200. Therefore, there is a gap between the terminal 240 and the panel 210, and they are arranged in a spaced manner. In this embodiment, the first limiting structure 220 is a clamping plate 222, which is triangular in shape as a whole. One end of the clamping plate 222 is connected to the bottom of the terminal 240, and the other end extends along the side wall of the lamp body 200 and is connected to the inner end face of the panel 210. The clamping plate 222 can be surrounded by the corresponding convex edge 212 to form the first limiting groove 221. It can be understood that the clamping plate 222 arranged between the terminal 240 and the panel 210 can play the role of a reinforcing rib, providing support for the protruding terminal 240 and improving the stability of the overall structure of the lighting lamp structure 20. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the clamping plate 222 can be provided in one, two or more in a side-by-side manner, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0072] Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, in the embodiment of the present application, the end of the clamping plate 222 away from the lamp body 200 is provided with an abutting surface 2221, wherein the abutting surface 2221 is obliquely arranged, specifically, obliquely arranged in the direction of the face plate 210 from the terminal head 240. To illustrate the state that the clamping plate 222 abuts against the mounting member 100, the abutting surface 2221 is offset in the direction away from the mounting member 100, and the abutting surface 2221 abuts against the mounting member 100. It can be understood in combination with FIG. 7 that, due to the oblique arrangement of the abutting surface 2221, when the lamp body 200 is obliquely arranged through the mounting hole 110, the clamping plate 222 can avoid the inner wall of the mounting hole 110, thereby reducing the risk of collision between the clamping plate 222 and the mounting member 100 during assembly. Similarly, when disassembling the lamp body 200, the end of the lamp body 200 away from the clamping plate 222 can be first separated from the mounting member 100, and then the lamp body 200 can be obliquely arranged to pass through the mounting hole 110. The oblique arrangement of the abutting surface 2221 can avoid the inner wall of the mounting hole 110, thereby reducing the risk of collision between the clamping plate 222 and the mounting member 100 during disassembly.

[0073] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, in the embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the rigid connection between the clamping plate 222 and the mounting member 100, the second limiting structure 230 is a spring sheet 232 that can be deformed, and the connection between the spring sheet 232 and the mounting member 100 is an elastic connection. Specifically, referring to FIGS. 11 and 13, the spring sheet 232 includes a connecting portion 2321 and an abutting portion 2322, wherein the connecting portion 2321 and the abutting portion 2322 are connected to each other, the connecting portion 2321 is fixedly connected to the lamp body 200, specifically, the connecting portion 2321 and the lamp body 200 can be connected by a fastener, can be connected by welding, or can be connected by other forms of connection, which are not limited in the embodiment. When the abutting portion 2322 is pressed, it can move towards the connecting portion 2321, and when the pressing force disappears, the abutting portion 2322 can move away from the connecting portion 2321 under the action of the elastic force to reset.

[0074] Referring to FIGS. 11 and 13, in the embodiment of the present application, the end of the abutting portion 2322 is provided with a bent segment 2323 extending in a bent manner, and the bent segment 2323 can be surrounded by the corresponding convex edge 212 to form a second limiting groove 231. In the state where the bent segment 2323 abuts against the mounting member 100, the bent segment 2323 includes a first segment 300 located at the inner side of the mounting member 100, and a second segment 400 penetrating the mounting hole 110 and abutting against the inner wall of the mounting hole 110. As shown in FIG. 7, it can be understood that when the lamp body 200 is assembled, the lamp body 200 can be inclined, and one end provided with the clamping plate 222 is first penetrated into the mounting hole 110, the right end of the lamp body 200 is buckled with the mounting member 100, and then the end provided with the spring piece 232 of the lamp body 200 is pushed into the mounting hole 110. During the process of penetrating the mounting hole 110, the inner wall of the mounting hole 110 will extrude the second segment 400, so that the abutting portion 2322 moves towards the connecting portion 2321, thereby realizing the buckling of the left end of the lamp body 200 with the mounting member 100.

[0075] Referring to FIGS. 11, 12 and 13, in the embodiment of the present application, the spring piece 232 further includes a bent portion 2324 located between the connecting portion 2321 and the abutting portion 2322. The cross section of the bent portion 2324 in the width direction of the spring piece 232 presents an approximate U shape, so that the connecting portion 2321 and the abutting portion 2322 present a V-shaped structure. It can be understood that during the test, the applicant knows that if the included angle formed by the connecting portion 2321 and the abutting portion 2322 is too large, the deformation amount required by the spring piece 232 during the assembly of the lamp body 200 is large, thereby increasing the installation difficulty and causing the lamp body 200 to be difficult to install. On the contrary, if the included angle formed by the connecting portion 2321 and the abutting portion 2322 is too small, the elasticity of the spring piece 232 is poor, which leads to the lamp body 200 being difficult to disassemble. Therefore, referring to FIG. 13, in the embodiment of the present application, the included angle e formed by the connecting portion 2321 and the abutting portion 2322 satisfies: 35°≤ e ≤50°, so that the lamp body 200 is easy to install and disassemble.

[0076] Referring to FIGS. 8 and 14, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the convenience of disassembling the lamp body 200, one end of the convex edge 212 away from the first limiting structure 220 is provided with a avoiding groove 2121, that is, the part of the convex edge 212 located outside the spring piece 232 is provided with the avoiding groove 2121, and the avoiding groove 2121 is recessed in the direction of the lamp body 200 towards the panel 210, that is, outwardly recessed. In the state where the lamp body 200 is assembled on the mounting member 100, the opening of the avoiding groove 2121 faces the left side and is located between the outer end surface of the mounting member 100 and the panel 210.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 14, at least part of the bent section 2323 is located in the avoiding groove 2121, for example, part of the second section 400 or the whole second section 400 is located in the avoiding groove 2121. Based on this, when disassembling the lamp body 200, the user or the maintenance personnel can easily insert the finger or the tool into the avoiding groove 2121 and push the bent section 2323, so that the posture of the lamp body 200 can be changed to the inclined state. In cooperation with the inclined abutting surface 2221 in the clamping plate 222, the lamp body 200 will not interfere with the mounting piece 100 during the process of changing the lamp body 200 from the mounting state to the inclined state, not only reducing the possibility of damage of the lamp body 200 and the mounting piece 100 due to collision, but also reducing the difficulty of disassembling the lamp body 200, improving the convenience and efficiency of disassembling the lamp body 200.

[0078] As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 15, in the embodiment of the present application, the side wall of the lamp body 200 towards the spring sheet 232 is provided with two limiting plates 250 arranged side by side, and the two limiting plates 250 are protruded from the side wall of the lamp body 200. Among them, the cross section of the limiting plate 250 in the direction of the lamp body 200 towards the panel 210 is L-shaped, based on this, the two limiting plates 250 and the side wall of the lamp body 200 define an installation groove 251, the size of the installation groove 251 is slightly larger than the connecting part 2321, and the opening of the installation groove 251 is upward. When assembling the spring sheet 232, the connecting part 2321 can be inserted into the installation groove 251 from top to bottom, so as to realize the connection between the spring sheet 232 and the lamp body 200.

[0079] In order to improve the connection firmness of the spring sheet 232 and the lamp body 200, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 15, in the embodiment of the present application, the two limiting plates 250 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the lamp body 200, wherein each limiting plate 250 and the side wall of the lamp body 200 define a first clamping groove 252, it should be noted that the two first clamping grooves 252 are part of the installation groove 251. Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 12 and FIG. 15, the connecting part 2321 is provided with a first buckling part 2325 on both sides along the width direction of the spring sheet 232, the first buckling part 2325 is connected to the connecting part 2321 and is arranged inclinedly towards the abutting part 2322, when the connecting part 2321 is inserted into the installation groove 251, the first buckling part 2325 is arranged in the first clamping groove 252 and abuts against the limiting plate 250, so as to improve the friction between the connecting part 2321 and the lamp body 200, reduce the risk of dislocation of the connecting part 2321 from the installation groove 251, and improve the connection stability of the spring sheet 232 and the lamp body 200.

[0080] Referring to FIG. 15, in the embodiment of the present application, the lamp body 200 is further provided with a second clamping groove 260 on the side wall of the spring plate 232, the second clamping groove 260 is located between the two limiting plates 250, the second clamping groove 260 is recessed towards the inside of the lamp body 200, and the opening of the second clamping groove 260 faces downward, so the bottom wall of the second clamping groove 260 is located on the upper side. Correspondingly, referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, the connecting part 2321 is further provided with a second clamping part 2326, the second clamping part 2326 is arranged on the middle part of the connecting part 2321 and is arranged obliquely away from the abutting part 2322, when the connecting part 2321 is inserted into the mounting groove 251, the second clamping part 2326 is arranged in the second clamping groove 260 and abuts against the bottom wall of the second clamping groove 260, thereby limiting the connecting part 2321 and reducing the risk of dislodging the connecting part 2321 from the opening on the top of the mounting groove 251.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 13, in the embodiment of the present application, the abutting part 2322 includes a straight extension section 2327 and a bent section 2323, one end of the extension section 2327 is connected to the bent part 2324, and the other end is connected to the first section 300, wherein the extension section 2327 and the first section 300 form an included angle f. It can be understood that, during the test, the applicant found that if the included angle f formed by the extension section 2327 and the first section 300 is too large, the elasticity of the abutting part 2322 will be poor, which will further cause the lamp body 200 to be inconvenient to disassemble; on the contrary, if the included angle f formed by the connecting part 2321 and the abutting part 2322 is too small, the abutting part 2322 will be prone to fail to be clamped to the mounting part 100. Therefore, referring to FIG. 13, in the embodiment of the present application, the included angle f formed by the extension section 2327 and the first section 300 satisfies: 100°≤ f ≤120°, thereby making the lamp body 200 both disassembled and ensuring the firmness of the clamping of the lamp body 200 to the mounting part 100.
