Description

Soft warning light

The present invention relates to a lamp, especially a soft warning light installed on a vehicle.

In order to improve the safety of vehicle driving, headlights, taillights, direction lights and warning lights...etc. lights have become an indispensable assembly of vehicles. As far as the existing warning lights are concerned, they generally include a waiting part installed on a car body The lamp holder on the top, a lampshade arranged on the lamp holder and cooperating with the lamp holder to define an accommodating space, and at least one light-emitting member installed in the accommodating space.

However, since the lampshade located on the outside is usually made of transparent and hard plastic material, it is relatively brittle and fragile. Therefore, when the lampshade is squeezed, collided or knocked, the lampshade is likely to be broken and damaged, which will affect Even destroy the optical projection effect.

Furthermore, the lamp holder located on the inner side must be completely fitted with the outline of the vehicle body such as a concave or curved surface during installation. The shape and size cannot be slightly inaccurate, but because the lamp holder is also made of hard plastic It is made of materials, so it will make the manufacturing of the product more difficult, the installation area will be limited, the manufacturing is quite cumbersome and the manufacturing cost is also high.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a soft warning light that can overcome at least one disadvantage of the prior art.

Therefore, the novel flexible warning lamp includes a lamp housing unit and a light emitting unit. The lamp housing unit includes a first housing and a second housing made of flexible soft materials, the first housing and the second housing are relatively joined and cooperate to define a receiving space, Moreover, the second casing can transmit light. The light-emitting unit is disposed in the accommodating space of the lamp housing unit. The light-emitting unit includes at least one light-emitting element, and the light emitted by the at least one light-emitting element can be projected out of the second housing.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same number.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, one of the first embodiments of the new flexible warning light is suitable for installation on any object (not shown) that has a light-emitting requirement, and becomes a warning light, daytime running light, direction light, head, etc. Lamps, tail lights, fog lights, brake lights, reversing lights, position lights, indoor lights and outdoor lights... In the first embodiment, the warning lights installed on the body of the vehicle are taken as examples.

The soft warning light includes a lamp housing unit 1, a light emitting unit 2, and an installation unit 3.

The lamp housing unit 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 made of flexible soft materials, where the soft materials are soft plastic, rubber, silicone, etc. In the first embodiment, the first housing 11 is a lamp holder leaning against the vehicle body, and the second housing 12 is a light-transmitting lampshade. The first casing 11 and the second casing 12 are generally rounded rectangles, but the shapes of the two are not limited to this, for example, they can be changed to round, oval, rectangular, or other rules or irregular shape.

The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are relatively engaged and cooperate to define a receiving space 13. The first housing 11 has a first joint 111 formed at the periphery, and the second housing 12 has a second joint 121 formed at the periphery and joined to the first joint 111. The first joint One of the portion 111 and the second engaging portion 121 is a groove and the other is a flange. In the first embodiment, the first engaging portion 111 is a groove and the second engaging portion 121 is a flange. For example, of course, the structures of the first joint portion 111 and the second joint portion 121 can also be interchanged or changed, and will not be described here.

The light-emitting unit 2 is disposed in the accommodating space 13 of the lamp housing unit 1. The light-emitting unit 2 includes a flexible circuit board 21 and a plurality of light-emitting members 22 disposed on the circuit board 21. The circuit board 21 is a flexible circuit board and can be bent and deformed. The light-emitting elements 22 are all light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and the emitted light can be projected out of the second housing 12. In practice, the light-emitting elements 22 can also be cold cathode light-emitting tubes, small bulbs, or other light-emitting bodies It should be noted that the number and arrangement of the light-emitting elements 22 can also be changed according to the situation, or one according to actual needs.

The mounting unit 3 includes a mucous membrane 31 disposed on a side of the first housing 11 away from the second housing 12, the mucous membrane 31 is suitable for adhering the lamp housing unit 1 to the object, it should be noted that the mucous membrane The shape, size and number of 31 can also be changed according to the situation, or it can be several pieces according to actual needs.

During installation, the lamp housing unit 1 is pasted on the object by using the adhesive film 31, and during the pasting process, regardless of whether the part to be set of the object is a cavity or an arc surface or a flat surface, the lamp housing unit 1 The material is flexible and can be bent and deformed at any angle, so it can be applied to the shape of a free curve, which can fully match the surface shape of the object to be set and can closely fit, so it is more convenient and easy to manufacture, and the cost is also Can be drastically reduced. In use, when the lamp housing unit 1 is squeezed, collided or knocked, the lamp housing unit 1 can be elastically buffered, and will not be broken or broken, so the optical projection effect can be maintained.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the structure of the second embodiment of the new flexible warning lamp is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, the difference is that the structure of the mounting unit 3 is different, and the mounting unit 3 further includes a hollow And a frame 32 surrounding the lamp housing unit 1, a back plate 33 disposed on one side of the first housing 11 away from the second housing 12 and leaning on the frame 32, and several applicable The fixing member 34 passing through the frame 32 and the back plate 33 and fixed to the object (not shown) may be a bumper of the vehicle. The frame 32 defines a window 321 for the second casing 12 to be exposed from a side away from the first casing 11. The fixing member 34 is a screw, a bolt or a screw. The frame 32 of the second embodiment is a hard material, so the frame 32 and the back plate 33 can be used to enclose the lamp housing unit 1 and can be installed not only on the body of the vehicle but also on the body of the vehicle such as insurance On the pole, it can provide users with one more appearance choice and installation method of the lamp housing.

In summary, the lamp housing unit 1 of the new flexible warning lamp is made of flexible soft materials, which has the advantages of light weight, thinning and good impact resistance, so it can not only withstand the impact of touch and not fragile It can also be adjusted to fit the part of the object to be installed. It is very convenient to use and can indeed improve the market competitiveness, so it can really achieve the purpose of new cost.

However, the above are only examples of the new model. When the scope of the new model cannot be limited by this, any simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the patent application scope and patent specification content of the new model are still regarded as Within the scope of this new patent.
