Abstract

A lamp for a compartment of a vehicle includes: a base, a mounting plate disposed on the base and having a power source receiving part, a power source received in the power source receiving part, and a lamping source disposed on the mounting plate and having a luminous region of a sector shape. The power source receiving part is located at a side of the lamping source.

Claims (25)

1. A lamp for a compartment of a vehicle, comprising:

a base;

a mounting plate disposed on the base and having a power source receiving part, the mounting plate defining a first end fixed with the base, and a second end; wherein the second end of the mounting plate comprises a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface, wherein the first and the second surfaces form a first bending portion with a first bending angle, wherein the second and the third surfaces form a second bending portion with a second bending angle, and wherein the first, second, and third surfaces form the power source receiving part;

a power source received in the power source receiving part; and

a lamping source disposed on a surface of the mounting plate that faces away from the base and having a luminous region of a sector shape, wherein the power source receiving part is located at a side of the lamping source.

2. The lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the power source is disposed outside of the luminous region of the lamping source.

3. The lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the sector has a radius ranging from 10 mm to 100 mm.

4. The lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the lamping source comprises at least one row of LEDs, and each row comprises at least two LEDs.

5. The lamp according to claim 4 , wherein a distance between adjacent LEDs ranges from 0.5 mm to 30 mm.

6. The lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the power source receiving part is formed integrally with the mounting plate.

7. The lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the first bending angle is larger than the second bending angle.

8. The lamp according to claim 1 , further comprising a lamp cover fixed to the base and covering the lamping source.

9. The lamp according to claim 8 , wherein the sector has a radius ranging from 10 mm to 100 mm, and wherein the radius is defined as the shortest distance between the lamping source and the lamp cover.

10. The lamp according to claim 8 , wherein a transmittance of the lamp cover ranges from 75% to 95%.

11. The lamp according to claim 8 , wherein a thickness of the lamp cover ranges from 0.6 mm to 3 mm.

12. The lamp according to claim 8 , wherein a first male snap is formed integrally on the mounting plate; and

wherein a second male snap is formed integrally on the base disposed against the first male snap.

13. The lamp according to claim 12 , wherein the lamp cover has a first female snap for engaging with the first male snap, and a second female snap for engaging the second male snap.

14. The lamp according to claim 12 , wherein the first male snap comprises a third bending portion integrated with the second bending portion; and

wherein the second male snap comprises a fourth bending portion integrated with the base.

15. The lamp according to claim 1 , further comprising a lamping source fixing part formed on the mounting plate for fixing the lamping source.

16. The lamp according to claim 15 , further comprising a lamping source fixing plate disposed on the lamping source fixing part for connecting with the lamping source.

17. The lamp according to claim 16 , wherein the lamping source fixing plate includes a printed circuit board.

18. The lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the lamping source comprises at least one row of LEDs each having a luminous region, and the luminous regions of the at least one row of LEDs constitute the luminous region of the lamping source.

19. A vehicle, comprising the lamp according to claim 1 .
