Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an illumination system for a license plate of a vehicle having an electrical connection between a first illumination device and a second illumination device Device. The invention also relates to a first step lighting device that is adapted to operate in conjunction with the license plate system. The invention relates to a tool set including a license plate lighting system and a second Zhaoming crying soil + τ曰z ..., a monthly device, and also relates to a modified first-lighting benefit piece to a license plate Zhao Gu Mou. Early fat..., 7C system and its corresponding tool. [Prior Art] A license plate generally used for motor vehicles such as automobiles, buses and trucks, and poetry trailers can be illuminated from the front side with lights disposed on the vehicle. The license plate generally has an indicia that can be seen in a parking lot under low lighting conditions such as darkness or ambient lighting. Usually such a mark indicates, for example, a license plate number issued by an appropriate state agency. In general, the lights for license plate lighting are placed next to the license plate so that the front side is not blurred by the light and the license plate can be seen from the front. This configuration has disadvantages that limit the design possibilities of the automobile manufacturer. In particular, lights that are placed along one or more of the license plates prevent the car manufacturer from making more attractive designs because the lights are often revealed as a troublesome component in the design. Moreover, such front-illuminated license plates are often illuminate unevenly, making them difficult to identify in the dark, especially in inclement weather conditions, such as rain. In recent years, many alternative lighting solutions for vehicle license plates have been disclosed or provided. Specifically, recent developments have focused on the use of so-called back-illuminated 127317.doc 200909256 or interior license plates. Such license plates may comprise an electroluminescent layer, as disclosed in WO 03/062014 A1. A further example of one of the interior license plates is disclosed in W〇 2004/1 〇 1321. This license plate has a reflective stencil and markings in front of a light guide for more uniform illumination. WO 2005/102783 A1 discloses a license plate combination having a light source for backlighting of a license plate. Another example of license plate illumination is the German patent DE 1〇2 4〇 663 A1, which has a stand for integrated illumination of a license plate. The lighting system is provided by a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed adjacent to an area on which the license plate can be placed. Although these recently developed interior license plates offer several advantages, their wider adoption and adoption are still hampered, as the acceptance of the market in the license plate field depends not only on the available technical solutions and related advantages, but also on the country. It is subject to the management regulations imposed by the agency. Therefore, a newly developed license plate may be allowed in one country and not allowed in another. One of the advantages associated with interior license plates is that these license plates offer more options for the design of the car. The full use of this advantage will require a novel interior license plate that is essentially permitted worldwide, as otherwise the car manufacturer will have to look at the different car designs for different countries depending on whether the interior license plate is allowed in a country concerned. . Therefore, the use of interior license plates has so far been limited to countries that have allowed such license plates, such as Germany, to replace a conventional license plate with a new license plate. Although this takes advantage of the visibility of license plate improvements, it is still impossible to take advantage of the design freedom created by the new license plate 127317.doc 200909256. It would therefore be desirable to find a solution that would allow the full use of the advantages of an interior license plate, especially in automotive design, when considering the complexity of the different regulatory regulations that exist worldwide. It is further desirable that this solution be simple and convenient without increasing or at least not substantially increasing the cost of the license plate system on the motor vehicle. Preferably, the license plate system will also be a system that does not require a south power consumption, which would otherwise increase the fuel consumption of the motor vehicle. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A first aspect of the present invention relates to a vehicle license plate lighting system for a vehicle. The system includes a first illumination device that at least partially overlaps the marked area of the license plate. The system further includes an interface having an electrical connector for connecting a second illumination device. In this regard, the term "overlapping" relates to the position of at least a portion of the first illumination device that is vertically positioned in front of or behind the marked area of the license plate. In other words, a vertical projection of the first illumination device on the plane of the marked area will at least partially fall within the area of the ticket. In general, the illuminating device will 70 completely overlap the marked area or at least with the mark. The mark - generally indicates the license number of the car, i can also indicate a national identity, state or county logo and graphics such as flags, badges and / or ornamentation. Marking area: The area in which the license number is derogatory, and preferably the marked area further includes peripheral areas printed with country-specific information such as logos, graphics, badges, and/or textures. The present invention may provide - or several of the following advantages. Lighting devices - can be designed 127317.doc 200909256 to operate with an internal license plate (for example - back-illuminated license plate) - and in the country that does not (not yet) allow for interior license plates, 'can be modified or connected second The lighting device to the license plate lighting system so that the "skilled license plate can be - the conventional way to show the ancient so that the 'automotive manufacturer only has to design this type of license plate lighting system: type, and regardless of many countries may be for the license plate lighting system plus The rules are still able to sell the model. The independence of the state regulations can also accelerate the penetration of the market, as it can also be (4) t to the market that is not yet ready to accept the _ license system. In addition, it is possible to reduce the country's change to the new system by making the new system visible. A further advantage of the present invention may be the fact that the same power source can be used to connect both of the lighting devices, which minimizes the power consumption of the system. In general, the system allows the second lighting device to be retrofitted quickly and quickly to the license plate lighting system, thus simply and quickly switching from one type of lighting device to another. For example, such an adaptation can be performed by a car buyer or agent. Further, such modifications may be performed by, for example, an agent' and the car buyer may change to the new system at any time when the country issues a license. The present invention further allows the vehicle to be supplied by the automobile manufacturer with two license plate lighting devices so that the automobile buyer can save the cost of the second lighting device by an agent or a depot. Preferably, the interface is connectable to the second illumination device if the first illumination device remains in its intended position in the license plate bright system. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the electrical connector includes a power source for the second illumination device. Preferably, the power source is adapted to supply power to the second device, and more preferably to a source of light that is supplied to the source or the second illuminator 127317.doc 200909256. The power supply of the second illumination device preferably provides a voltage of less than 5 〇 v, preferably a voltage between 5 and 28 V, and more preferably a voltage between 1 至 and 14 V. One of the components, the tuned corresponding component mating with the electrical connector is preferably a plug and receptacle connector adapted to be used with one of the connectors on the second illuminating device. Further, a connector comprising a flat contact surface can be used, such as MagCode AG, available from Heidenheim, Germany. In a further embodiment of the invention, the license plate illumination system is adapted to detect the electrical connection of the second illumination device. The electrical connection of the second illumination device can be tested by identifying the current through the electrical connector. The license plate lighting system may also include - switch n ' which is automatically activated when the mth electrical or mechanical connection is made. Such a switch can be, for example, a mechanical switch integrated into a socket and can be mechanically activated by the plug as it is pushed into the socket. Alternatively - the connection of the second illumination device can be turned off or on. The change in circuit state can be dictated. For example, the electrical connector can include two connectors that are shorted when the second illumination device is connected, and can be detected by, for example, an electronic circuit. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bond measurement of the connection of the second illumination device is evaluated to trigger operation of the first illumination device. Preferably, the first illumination device is switched to open when the second illumination device is connected. Thereby, it is possible to deactivate the first illuminator # when the second illumination device is connected, thus switching from the first to the second illumination device. In another embodiment of the invention, the bread lighting device is attached to a mechanical connector of the system. The mechanical connector 127317.doc 200909256 may also include a frame for holding a license plate frame m ιψ , , ^ to the license plate system and preferably, the mechanical connector provides a second illuminator write The removable attachment is attached to the license plate (4). Mechanical connector = one of the license plate lighting systems that can be attached to it - the light guide. Alternatively - choose, or in addition, mechanically connect the part # of the frame of the license plate. (d) τ is used Mechanical connectors may include a locking material that locks into the first locking mechanism, which is adapted to the other components of the locking mechanism on the device and/or the frame. This component of the locking mechanism can be a hook or other retaining member, rim or other suitable structure having a retaining member that permits interlocking with another similar component. The lock yoke mechanism preferably provides tool-free locking and preferably requires a tool to unlock. Further, mechanical earthen car

Mechanical connector 72 and electrical connector 71. The type of locking mechanism formed by the mechanical connectors 12 and 72, 82 can be seen to provide toolless interlocking. Once the locking mechanism is in an interlocked state, it can only be easily unlocked by using a tool. Figures 8a and 8b show a schematic side cross-sectional view of a system for illuminating a license plate. A housing 1 includes a first illumination device 15. The first illumination device 包括 includes a light source 17 and a light guide 16. Light guide 16 is a generally flat panel having a major front side and a back side. The light guide has a size that is substantially consistent with the format of the license plate. The Light Guide 6 is illuminated from the side by the LED 1 〇〇 array. Other light sources can be used, such as one or several bulbs or discharge lamps. In the exemplary embodiment, the LED array is disposed directly to the bottom of the light guide directly to the front side of one of the light guides. However, a light source, such as an LED array, can be disposed on the other side of the light guide and can also be disposed along more than one side. For example, a light source can extend around the light guide. Further, more than one light source can be used, for example, an LED array is used on each side. The light guide 16 includes a first material having a first refractive index of light and a second material having a second refractive index, wherein the first and second optical refractive indices are different from each other. The second material is preferably dispersed within the first material, for example in the form of microparticles. The first material directs light from the light source into the light guide. The filaments intersecting the particles of the second material impinge on the particles in substantially all directions. Since the microparticles are substantially uniformly dispersed within the body of the light guide, the light guide emits such scattered light substantially uniformly in all directions and also passes through the main front. Thus the light guide can be used to illuminate a surface substantially uniformly. In this example (Fig. 8a, Fig. 8b), the light guide 16 is disposed behind the license plate. Figure 127317.doc • 18- 200909256 8a shows a housing ι having a first lighting device 15 in combination with a license plate 20, and a frame 3 〇β first lighting device 15 for holding the license plate 20 is activated to substantially Illuminate the license plate 20 evenly from behind. In Fig. 8b, the frame 30 is replaced by a frame 5A having a second illumination means 6 for illumination of the license plate 20. Since the second illumination device 60 (through the electrical connectors u, 71) is electrically coupled to the system 'the second illumination device 60 is enabled and the first illumination device has been deactivated. As can be seen, the license plate 20 is illuminated from an angle on the front of the license plate. It can also be seen from Fig. 8b that if the light-transmissive license plate is replaced by an opaque license plate, the first illumination device 15 is deactivated because the opaque license plate blocks the light. In this case, the first illumination device 15 can be maintained electrically enabled. A license plate for use with any of the configurations shown in Figures 2 and Figures may include a reflective layer. Figure 9 shows schematically an electrical switch 9 〇 as it can be used in an electrical connector such as electrical connector 14 (Figures la, Figure lb). The contact surface 92 is connected to a power source, such as to the vehicle's electrical system. The contact surface 93 is connected to the first illumination device and the contact surface 91 is an electrical connector (not shown) of the second illumination device. ^ The electrical switch having the second illumination device is shown to be disconnected from the contact surface 92: the illumination device is not powered. A current 1 can only flow along the path drawn by the dashed arrow, and the contact surfaces 92 and 93 are interconnected. Therefore, the brother-lighting device can be powered. , , . ^ ^ y D is not the second illumination tester _ is connected to the contact surface 92 by the contact surface 91. If the drawn dry pull " is so that it is lifted from the contact surface #', the contact surface 92 is "disconnected from the contact surface 93. Therefore, the first - aaa as & + ^ lighting device in contact with the first - know, Ming When the device is interrupted from the power supply, it can be switched by the pot. The switch function can also be switched from "the mechanical switcher or the electronic control can be sealed by a magnetic I Μ " The reed switch is provided. A yellow switch can be housed, for example, in the housing of the vehicle 127317.doc 19·200909256, and a magnet for actuating the reed switch is provided in the second illumination device or in the frame of the second illumination device.
