Abstract

A vehicle light structure comprises a base member (10) equipped with a partition wall (11), a substrate (20) deployed with a recessed portion (21) for locating on a protrusion pole (13) of the base member (10), an illuminating element (30) disposed on a mounting surface (26) of the substrate (20), the partition wall (11) adjacent to the substrate (20) in an interval fashion, and the substrate (20) prepared with two positioning edges (231,232) defying against the partition wall (11) of the base member (10) which avoids the possible damage of the illuminating element (30) caused by a fluctuation or a collision between the substrate (20).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a vehicle light fixed structure, in particular a lighting unit installation, aiming to reduce the possible fluctuation and collision as transporting.

2. Description of the Related Art

The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) has merits of low-glare and slightly- flexible, light-shape stabilizing and low-energy consumption which is adaptable for interior illumination of automobiles and buildings. While, the OLED has drawbacks of expensive and fragile which is adequate to prevent possible damage of the OLED caused by a fluctuation or a collision as transporting. Besides, applying the OLED lighting module on vehicles should also take the convenient installation into consideration in order to upraise operational efficiency.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention aims to provide a vehicle light structure including a base member equipped with a partition plate, a substrate deployed with a recessed portion located on a protrusion pole and an illuminating element disposed on a mounting surface of the substrate, which has characteristics of the partition wall arranged adjacent to the mounting surface of the substrate, and the substrate prepared with two positioning edges defying against the partition wall of the base member; in this way, the positioning edges being capable of avoiding the possible damage of the illuminating element caused by a fluctuation or a collision between the substrate. Furthermore, the substrate is prepared with two positioning edges having two ends on its free edges. Said positioning edges may be a retainer to hold the illuminating element in place. On the bottom side away from the mounting surface is deployed with two knots to be engaged on the surface of the base member further preventing the base member and the substrate from bias. With this deployment, the light may as well be a plurality of uniform lighting modules, composed of the illuminating elements deployed on the substrate wringed by regular screws for securing the stability; the lighting modules and the base member (lamp) contribute to modularization which aims to lowering the assembly threshold and upraising structure stability.
Moreover, the adoption of lighting unit in this invention may employ light-emitting diode (LED) or organic light-emitting diode (OLED) of low-power consumption. As long as checking there lefts ample room for maneuver, said vehicle light structure consumes the least resources for changing a light unit which greatly reduces the maintenance cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

To be more specifically articulate the embodiment, the structure and the performance of this invention, a preferable embodiment is provided along with drawings hereinafter:
Please refer to the FIG. 1, showing an illuminating element 30 with a roughly rectangle in shape, a partition wall 11 parallel to the illuminating element 30 and a base member 10 behind the partition wall 11.
Please refer to FIG. 2 to 4, showing the components' association and engagement of a vehicle light structure while assembling, wherein the light structure includes a base member 10 equipped with a partition wall 11 having a bottom being roughly vertical to the base member 10, and a substrate 20 deployed with a mounting surface 26 for disposing an illuminating element 30, a lighting unit composed by a light-emitting diode or an organic light-emitting diode, the substrate 20 and the illuminating element 30 assembling a lighting module, the substrate 20 deployed with a recessed portion 21, on the bottom side away from a mounting surface 26 for screwing on the protrusion pole 13 of the base member 10, the recessed portion 21 vertically extending up from the substrate 20 and locating nearby the center of gravity and when the substrate 20 screws on the protrusion pole 13 the illuminating element 30 being roughly parallel to the transparent light mask.
The base member 10 is further equipped with two protruding poles as first convexs 121 and 122, and on the bottom side away from the mounting surface 26 is disposed with two indents as second concaves 241 and 242. When the substrate 20 is screwed on to the protrusion pole 13, the first convexs 121 and 122 are individually engaged to the second concaves 241 and 242, and aforementioned structure also bears weights of the substrate 20 and the illuminating element 30 when positioning and prevents bias when installating.
The partition plate 11 of the base member 10 is adjacent to the mounting surface 26 of the substrate 20 in an interval fashion, and on bottom side of the mounting surface 26 is disposed with two positioning edges 231 and 232 defying against the partition plate 11. In view of this, since the illuminating element 30 lying between the partition plate 11 and the mounting surface 26 indirectly contacts the partition plate 11 which avoids the possible damage of the illuminating element 30 caused by directly colliding to the partition plate 11.
In view of this, since the recessed portion 21 is deployed nearby the gravity center of the lighting module (the substrate 20 and the illuminating element 30) which lessen/eliminate the shaking magnitude and avoid possible damage of the illuminating element 30. Besides, the light may adopt a plurality of uniform lighting modules and regular screws as a fastener for securing the conformation, and plurality of lighting modules and the base member contribute to modularization, lowering the assembly threshold and upraising structural stability. Furthermore, as long as checking there lefts ample room for maneuver, said vehicle light structure consumes the least resources for changing a light unit which greatly reduces the maintenance cost.
In this embodiment, the mounting surface 26 is parallel to the partition plate 11, the illuminating element 30 is further equipped with a ridge 31 as electrical connection port. When assembling, the ridge 31 lies between the positioning edges 231 and 232 to hold the illuminating element 30 in place. Besides, when the electrical connection port of the illuminating element 30 is located on between the positioning edges 231 and 232, it may be bended downward for landing on the groove on the opposite of the mounting surface 26. The thickness of positioning edges 231 and 232 may be wider than that of the ridge 31 avoid the ridge 31 of the illuminating element 30 directly contacting the partition plate 11, or the actual thickness of the positioning edges 231 and 232 matches the distance between the mounting surface 26 and the partition plate 11 for reducing fluctuation of the illuminating element 30.
