Vehicle Door Turn Signal Mounting for Lower Wind Noise
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional side turn signal lamps mounted on rearview mirrors create multiple styling parting lines and are susceptible to wind noise.
Innovation Solution
A side turn signal lamp mounting assembly that integrates a mounting cover plate with light-transmitting regions and a turn signal lamp component, positioning the lamp component inside the cover plate to reduce exposure and wind noise, while ensuring light emission through aligned light-transmitting regions for enhanced visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the turn signal lamp component is mounted on the rearview mirror, then the turn signal function is achieved, but multiple styling parting lines are created and wind noise is generated
Solution Approach 1:
The turn signal lamp component is extracted from the rearview mirror and relocated to the door body, eliminating the source of wind noise and excessive parting lines on the rearview mirror while maintaining the turn signal function
Solution Approach 2:
The turn signal lamp component is integrated into the door body structure through the mounting cover plate, combining the lighting function with the existing door styling lines to reduce overall parting lines
2Illumination intensity
If the turn signal lamp component is exposed on the vehicle body surface, then the turn signal is visible, but the component is susceptible to wind noise and reduced service life
Solution Approach 1:
The turn signal lamp component is nested within the mounting cover plate, which provides protective coverage while maintaining light transmission functionality through the light-transmitting region
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting cover plate with light-transmitting region acts as a protective shell that shields the turn signal lamp component from wind noise and environmental damage while allowing light to pass through for visibility
3Reliability
If the mounting cover plate covers the turn signal lamp component, then wind noise is reduced and service life is extended, but light emission may be obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting cover plate is designed with a light-transmitting region that provides localized transparency where light emission is needed, while other portions of the cover plate provide protective coverage, creating different functional zones in different locations of the same component
