Detailed Description

Preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, light-transmissive parts of a vehicle such as an instrument panel 11, a door panel 12, and a center console 13 inside a vehicle 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model are generally provided with luminous patterns for indication, aesthetic purposes, and the like.

As shown in fig. 2A and 2B, a first embodiment of the present utility model provides a light-permeable member for a vehicle, which includes an appearance layer 110, wherein a hollowed pattern 111 is formed on the appearance layer 110, and the hollowed pattern of the appearance layer 110 is filled with a light-permeable material (such as polycarbonate PC, polystyrene PS, etc.) to form a light-permeable pattern 120, the appearance layer 110 has a first outer surface 110a, the light-permeable pattern 120 has a second outer surface 120a, and the first outer surface 110a and the second outer surface 120a are in the same plane. That is, the light-permeable material fills the hollowed-out pattern 111 of the appearance layer 110, so that the second outer surface 120a of the light-permeable pattern 120 is flush with the first outer surface 110a of the appearance layer 110, and the light-permeable pattern 120 does not protrude from the outer surface of the appearance layer 110. The inside of the appearance layer 110 may be further provided with a light source (not shown) for emitting light outwards, and the appearance layer 110 may be configured to be opaque or semi-opaque (only by making the light-emitting brightness of the appearance layer 110 lower than that of the light-permeable pattern 120), so that when the light emitted by the light source irradiates the inside of the appearance layer 110, the light-emitting brightness of the light-permeable pattern 120 is higher than that of the rest of the appearance layer 110, thereby displaying a luminous pattern effect, on one hand, an indication effect can be achieved, and on the other hand, a light-permeable part of the vehicle can be more attractive.

The inside of the exterior layer 110 may also be provided with a touch sensor (e.g., inside the light emitting layer) to achieve a touch effect, for example, when an occupant touches the light transmissive pattern 120, the touch sensor may be triggered to achieve automatic control.

It will be appreciated that although the light permeable pattern 120 is shown in fig. 1A as the character pattern "L", the present embodiment is not limited to the specific form of the pattern, but may be other character patterns (e.g., "M", "N", etc.) or other patterns (e.g., fan, lock, etc.).

The vehicle light transmitting member of the first embodiment can be manufactured by the following method:

Firstly, a milling cutter with a thickness of 0.3mm-1mm is used for engraving a hollowed-out pattern 111 on an appearance layer 110 made of a non-light-transmitting material (such as true wood, metal, non-light-transmitting plastic and the like) or a semi-light-transmitting material and the like, then the engraved appearance layer 110 is put into a mould, and then the light-transmitting material is injected into the mould to enable the hollowed-out pattern 111 to be filled with the light-transmitting material so as to form a light-transmitting pattern 120, so that a second outer surface 120a of the light-transmitting pattern 120 is in the same plane with a first outer surface 110a of the appearance layer 110. After the injection molding is completed, paint may be sprayed on the outer surface of the exterior layer 110, and then a light guide, a light source, a touch sensor, a rear cover, etc. may be sequentially assembled on the inner side of the exterior layer 110.

According to the vehicle light-transmitting component of the first embodiment of the utility model, the hollow pattern 111 of the appearance layer 110 is filled with the light-transmitting material to form the light-permeable pattern 120, the second outer surface 120a of the light-permeable pattern 120 and the first outer surface 110a of the appearance layer 110 are positioned on the same plane, so that the vehicle light-transmitting component can be prevented from being knocked off, and the surface is easy to clean; the hollowed-out pattern 111 is engraved by an engraving machine, the line width is uniform, the hollowed-out pattern 111 is filled by injection molding, and the surface is flat and uniform.

The hollowed-out pattern 111 on the light-transmitting component of the vehicle of the first embodiment is a semi-closed pattern, which does not have a closed area, so that it can be hollowed out directly on the appearance layer 110, and for the hollowed-out pattern 111 with a closed area, such as the characters "a", "B", etc., it has a closed area (for example, two semicircular portions of "a", two semicircular portions of "B") respectively, and the closed area forms an island portion on the appearance layer 110, so that the appearance layer 110 is divided into an island portion (i.e., a portion surrounded by the closed area) and an appearance layer body, and if the hollowed-out pattern 111 is engraved directly on the appearance layer 110, the island portion is disconnected from the appearance layer body, so that the island portion falls, and the hollowed-out pattern 111 with a closed area cannot be engraved.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, as shown in fig. 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D and 3E, a second embodiment of the present utility model provides a vehicle transparent component, which includes an appearance layer 110 and a transparent pattern 120, wherein the transparent pattern 120 is in a lock shape, the appearance layer 110 is provided with a hollowed pattern 111, the transparent pattern 120 is filled in the hollowed pattern 111, and a second outer surface of the transparent pattern is in the same plane with a first outer surface of the appearance layer, the hollowed pattern 111 causes the appearance layer 110 to form two island portions 112 and 113, edges of the island portions 112 and 113 are provided with at least one connecting bridge 114 for connecting the island portions 112 and 113 with the rest (i.e. the appearance layer body) of the appearance layer 110, so as to prevent the island portions 112 and 113 from falling; the light-transmitting material is filled in the hollowed-out pattern to form a light-permeable pattern 120, and the light-permeable pattern 120 is flush with the outer surface of the appearance layer 110. Since the edges of the island portions 112 and 113 are each provided with the connection bridge 114, the island portions 112 and 113 can be connected with the rest of the exterior layer 110 through the connection bridge 114, preventing it from falling. That is, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the second embodiment adds a connection bridge 114 for connecting the island portion and the exterior layer body on the basis of the first embodiment.

The connecting bridge 114 has a third outer surface 114a, the third outer surface 114a is not coplanar with the first outer surface 110a, and the third outer surface 114a is located inside the first outer surface 110a, so that the connecting bridge 114 does not protrude from the first outer surface 110a, but is located inside the hollowed pattern 111. That is, the thickness of the connection bridge 114 is smaller than that of the appearance layer 110, so that the connection bridge 114 is located in the hollowed-out pattern 111 and is spaced apart from the first outer surface 110a of the appearance layer 110, and thus, after the hollowed-out pattern 111 is filled with the light-transmitting material, the light-permeable pattern 120 can cover the connection bridge 114, so that the connection bridge 114 is hidden, i.e. the connection bridge 114 cannot be seen from the outer side of the light-transmitting part of the vehicle, and only the light-permeable pattern 120 can be seen, thereby making the light-transmitting part of the vehicle more beautiful.

The number of bridges 114 at the edge of each island may be two, three or more, and when the number of bridges 114 is plural, they may be uniformly disposed along the circumference of the island. The width and thickness of the connection bridge 114 may be set according to actual needs, so long as strength requirements can be met, for example, the width of the connection bridge 114 may be 0.1mm or more, and the thickness may be 0.1mm or more.

On the vehicle light-transmitting member shown in fig. 3C, the edge of the island portion 112 is provided with two connecting bridges 114 which are distributed on both sides of the edge of the island portion 112, and the edge of the island portion 113 is provided with three connecting bridges 114 which are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the island portion 113.

As shown in fig. 3C, 3D and 3E, the inner side of the appearance layer 110 is provided with a groove 115, the groove 115 is located in a pattern area (i.e. the area where the hollowed pattern 111 is located), the hollowed pattern 111 is communicated with the groove 115, and since the hollowed pattern 111 is formed by engraving from the outer surface to the inner surface of the appearance layer 110 by a milling cutter, the thickness of the hollowed pattern 111 can be reduced by arranging the groove 115, thereby reducing the engraving time of the hollowed pattern 111. The transparent material may be injection-molded to fill the grooves 115 and the hollow patterns 111, the transparent material filled with the hollow patterns 111 forms the transparent pattern 120, the transparent material filled with the grooves 115 forms the pattern substrate 121, and the transparent pattern 120 and the pattern substrate 121 are integrally formed.

Similar to the first embodiment, the vehicle light-transmitting member of the second embodiment may also include a light source provided inside the exterior layer 110 for emitting light, and the light emitted from the light source is transmitted through the light-permeable pattern 120 (or the pattern base 121 and the light-permeable pattern 120) to cause the light-permeable pattern 120 to emit light. The inside of the exterior layer 110 may also be provided with a touch sensor (e.g., inside the light emitting layer) to achieve a touch effect, for example, when an occupant touches the light transmissive pattern 120, the touch sensor may be triggered to achieve automatic control.

The vehicle light-transmitting member of the second embodiment can be manufactured by:

Firstly, the exterior layer 110 is made of a light-impermeable material or a light-semi-permeable material, etc., then a groove 115 is dug from the inner side of the exterior layer 110 in a pattern area so that the thickness of the pattern area is 0.3mm or more (e.g., 0.6 mm), then a hollowed-out pattern 111 is carved out of the exterior layer 110 in the pattern area by using a milling cutter of 0.3mm-1mm while leaving a connecting bridge 114 (i.e., the connecting bridge 114 is not carved out), then the carved exterior layer 110 is put into a mold, a light-permeable material is injected to perform injection molding so that the groove 115 and the hollowed-out pattern 111 are filled with the light-permeable material to obtain a pattern base 121 and a light-permeable pattern 120, the light-permeable pattern 120 is flush with the outer surface of the exterior layer 110, and covers the connecting bridge 114. After the second injection molding is completed, paint may be sprayed on the outer surface of the exterior layer 110, and then a light guide, a light source, a touch sensor, a rear cover, etc. may be sequentially assembled on the inner side of the exterior layer 110.

It will be appreciated that the light transmissive pattern 120 may be other shapes having enclosed areas, such as letters "a", "B", "P", fan shapes, etc., in addition to the lock shapes shown in fig. 3A-3E.

According to the vehicle light-transmitting component of the second embodiment of the utility model, the edges of the island parts 112 and 113 are provided with the connecting bridge 114, the island parts 112 and 113 are connected with the appearance layer body through the connecting bridge 114, the island parts 112 and 113 are prevented from falling, so that a light-permeable pattern 120 with a closed area is formed, and the second outer surface 120a of the light-permeable pattern 120 is flush with the first outer surface 110a of the appearance layer 110; the transparent pattern 120 covers the connection bridge 114 to hide the connection bridge 114, thereby making the transparent part of the vehicle more beautiful.

In the second embodiment, since the appearance layer is made of a non-transparent material or a semi-transparent material, the connection bridge 114 is also non-transparent or semi-transparent (i.e. the light-emitting brightness is low), so that the connection bridge 114 can shield part of the light, so that the light-emitting effect is affected when the light-transparent pattern 120 cannot emit light or the light-emitting brightness is insufficient at the position corresponding to the connection bridge 114; and the light emitting brightness of the connection bridge 114 is lower than that of the light permeable pattern 120, which is covered by the light permeable pattern 120, but the connection bridge 114 may be seen from the outside of the component, affecting the aesthetic appearance of the component. In order to solve the above-described problems, as shown in fig. 4A, 4B and 4C, a third embodiment of the present utility model provides a vehicle light transmitting member, which is different from the vehicle light transmitting member of the second embodiment in that: the appearance layer 110 includes two layers, namely, a decoration layer 130 and a base layer 140, the base layer 140 is fixed on the inner side of the decoration layer 130, the base layer 140 is formed of a light-transmitting material so as to make it light-permeable, the decoration layer 130 is used for providing a first outer surface 110a, which may be formed of a light-impermeable material or a light-semi-permeable material, so that the brightness of light after passing through the decoration layer is lower than the brightness of light after passing through the base layer 140, the hollowed-out pattern 111 is formed on the decoration layer 130 and the base layer 140 and is a character "B", the connection bridge 114 is formed on the base layer 140, the light-permeable pattern 120 is filled in the hollowed-out pattern 111 and covers the connection bridge 114, and since the connection bridge 114 is also formed of the light-transmitting material of the base layer 140, light can be transmitted from the connection bridge 114 and reach the light-permeable pattern 120, and then transmitted from the light-permeable pattern 120, so that all positions of the light-permeable pattern 120 can emit light, thereby improving the light-emitting effect. And because the connecting bridge 114 and the light-permeable pattern 120 are both formed by light-permeable materials, the light-emitting brightness of the connecting bridge 114 and the light-permeable pattern 120 is the same or similar, after the connecting bridge 114 is covered by the light-permeable pattern 120, the structure of the connecting bridge 114 is not seen from the outer side of the component, so that the connecting bridge 114 is further hidden, and the component is more attractive.

In this embodiment, grooves 115 are also formed on substrate layer 140.

It will be appreciated that the light transmissive pattern 120 of the third embodiment may be any other suitable pattern having a closed area, in addition to the character "B".

The vehicle light transmitting member of the third embodiment can be manufactured by:

Firstly, the decorative layer 130 is made of opaque material or semi-transparent material, etc., then the decorative layer 130 is placed in a mould, the transparent material is injected to form the substrate layer 140 at the inner side of the decorative layer 130, so as to form the appearance layer 110, then the groove 115 is formed at the inner side of the substrate layer 140 of the appearance layer 110, so as to reduce the thickness of the pattern area to be more than 0.3mm, then the hollowed pattern 111 is carved inwards from the outer side of the decorative layer 130 by using a milling cutter with the thickness of 0.3mm-1mm, and the connecting bridge 114 is left at the substrate layer 140, namely, the hollowed pattern 111 parts of the substrate layer 140 and the decorative layer 130 are carved except the connecting bridge 114; after the carving is completed, the appearance layer 110 is placed in a mold, and then a light-transmitting material is injected from the groove 115 to fill the groove 115 and the hollowed-out pattern 111, so as to form a pattern substrate 121 and a light-permeable pattern 120, wherein the light-permeable pattern 120 covers the connecting bridge 114. After the injection molding is completed, paint may be sprayed on the outer surface of the exterior layer 110, and then a light guide, a light source, a touch sensor, a rear cover, etc. may be sequentially assembled on the inner side of the exterior layer 110.

In the light-transmitting component for a vehicle according to the third embodiment of the present utility model, the appearance layer 110 includes the decorative layer 130 and the light-permeable substrate layer 140, and the connecting bridge 114 is formed on the substrate layer 140 to realize light transmission, so as to prevent the connecting bridge 114 from shielding the light therein, and make the light-permeable pattern 120 capable of emitting light at the position of the connecting bridge 114, thereby improving the light-emitting effect; and the connecting bridge 114 can be hidden inside the transparent pattern 120, which makes the component more beautiful.

As shown in fig. 5A and 5B, a fourth embodiment of the present utility model provides a vehicle light transmitting member, which is different from the third embodiment in that: the substrate layer 140 includes a plurality of light-transmitting regions 141, and a light-impermeable region 142 is disposed between any two adjacent light-transmitting regions 141, so that the adjacent two light-transmitting regions 141 are separated by the light-impermeable region 142, and light passing through one light-transmitting region 141 is prevented from being irradiated to the adjacent other light-transmitting region 141, so that mutual interference of light of the adjacent light-transmitting regions 141 is avoided; each light-transmitting region 141 is provided with a hollow pattern 111, and the hollow pattern 111 is filled with light-transmittable patterns 120, so that a plurality of light-transmittable patterns 120 are formed. The light-permeable patterns 120 can emit light independently, thereby realizing different light-emitting effects, and the light between the light-permeable regions 141 will not interfere with each other, so the light of the light-permeable patterns 120 will not interfere with each other.

The method for forming the transparent pattern 120 of each transparent region 141 can refer to the aforementioned embodiments, for example, for the hollowed-out pattern 111 without a closed region, refer to the first embodiment, and for the hollowed-out pattern 111 with a closed region, refer to the second embodiment and the third embodiment, which will not be described herein.

The pattern of the light-transmittable pattern 120 in each light-transmitting region 141 may be the same or different. For example, in the cross-sectional view of the light-transmitting member of the vehicle shown in fig. 5B, the substrate layer 140 includes two light-transmitting regions 141 and three light-impermeable regions 142, wherein each of the two light-transmitting regions 141 is formed with a hollowed pattern 111, in which a light-permeable pattern 120 is filled, one of the patterns is a fan, and the other pattern is a plurality of horizontal lines for displaying gear information, and in use, the two light-permeable patterns 120 may respectively emit light, for example, the fan may emit light, while one or more horizontal lines of the other pattern may emit light, the fan emits light to indicate that the fan has been started, the number of the emitted horizontal lines represents the gear of the fan, and the higher the number of the emitted horizontal lines, the higher the gear of the fan, the faster the speed.

In some embodiments, substrate layer 140 may be formed from an opaque material and a light transmissive material by two-shot molding, wherein the opaque material forms opaque region 142 and the light transmissive material forms light transmissive region 141.

It will be appreciated that, to achieve independent illumination of each transmissive pattern 120, a light source is disposed inside each transmissive region 141. The colors of the lights emitted by each light source can be the same or different so as to realize different luminous effects.

The vehicle light transmitting member of the fourth embodiment can be manufactured by:

Firstly, manufacturing a decorative layer 130 by using an opaque material, then placing the decorative layer 130 in a mold, sequentially injecting the opaque material and the light-transmitting material to form a substrate layer 140 on the inner side of the decorative layer 130 by double-shot molding, so that the substrate layer 140 comprises a plurality of light-transmitting areas 141, then forming grooves 115 on the inner side of each light-transmitting area 141 of the substrate layer 140 to reduce the thickness of the substrate layer to be more than 0.3mm, and then inwards engraving hollowed-out patterns 111 of each light-transmitting area 141 from the outer side of the decorative layer 130 by using a milling cutter with the thickness of 0.3mm-1mm, and leaving connecting bridges 114 on the substrate layer 140 if the hollowed-out patterns 111 have closed areas; after the engraving is completed, the appearance layer 110 is placed in a mold, and then a light-transmitting material is injected from each groove 115 to fill each groove 115 and each hollowed-out pattern 111, so as to form each pattern substrate 121 and each light-permeable pattern 120. After the injection molding is completed, paint may be sprayed on the outer surface of the exterior layer 110, and then a light guide, a light source, a touch sensor, a rear cover, etc. may be sequentially assembled on the inner side of the exterior layer 110.

In the light-transmitting member for a vehicle according to the fourth embodiment of the present utility model, the base layer 140 has a plurality of light-transmitting regions 141 to form a plurality of light-transmittable patterns 120, and the light of each light-transmittable pattern 120 is blocked by the light-impermeable region 142, so that light emission alone can be achieved without mutual interference.
