Abstract

A vehicle lamp illuminating apparatus with ability for implementing various illuminating light patterns is constructed by a lens, a circuit board, a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) light sources disposed on the circuit board and distributed in an array, and a reflection structure disposed between the plurality of LED light sources and the lens. The LED light sources are transversely arranged in an upper row and a lower row. The reflection structure has a plurality of reflection mirror sets each disposed in one-to-one correspondence with two LED light sources that are vertically opposite to each other. Luminance of one or more local areas of an illuminating light pattern can be adjusted, thus implementing various illuminating light patterns and meeting a self-adaptive requirement of a headlamp.

Claims (9)

1. A vehicle lamp illuminating apparatus, comprising a lens ( 1 ), a circuit board ( 4 ), a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) light sources ( 3 ) disposed on the circuit board ( 4 ) and distributed in an array, and a reflection structure ( 2 ) disposed between the plurality of LED light sources ( 3 ) and the lens ( 1 ), wherein the plurality of LED light sources ( 3 ) distributed in an array are transversely arranged in an upper row and a lower row, the reflection structure ( 2 ) comprises a plurality of reflection mirror sets each disposed in one-to-one correspondence with two LED light sources ( 3 ) that are vertically opposite to each other, the reflection mirror set comprises a first level reflection mirror ( 20 ) located between the two LED light sources ( 3 ) that are vertically opposite to each other, and a second level upper reflection mirror ( 21 ) and a second level lower reflection mirror ( 22 ) that are respectively disposed above and below the first level reflection mirror ( 20 ) at an interval in an opposite manner; and light emitted by the LED light source ( 3 ) in the upper row is incident into the lens ( 1 ) after being reflected first by the first level reflection mirror ( 20 ) and then by the second level upper reflection mirror ( 21 ), and light emitted by the LED light source ( 3 ) in the lower row is incident into the lens ( 1 ) after being reflected first by the first level reflection mirror ( 20 ) and then by the second level lower reflection mirror ( 22 ).

2. The vehicle lamp illuminating apparatus as in claim 1 , wherein the second level upper reflection mirror ( 21 ) and the second level lower reflection mirror ( 22 ) are in an encircling form, and an opening direction faces the lens ( 1 ).

3. The vehicle lamp illuminating apparatus as in claim 1 , wherein the first level reflection mirror ( 20 ) has a first level upper reflection surface ( 201 ) corresponding to the LED light source ( 3 ) in the upper row and a first level lower reflection surface ( 202 ) corresponding to the LED light source ( 3 ) in the lower row, and the first level upper reflection surface ( 201 ) and the first level lower reflection surface ( 202 ) form a cone whose contraction opening faces a position between the two LED light sources ( 3 ) that are vertically opposite to each other.

4. The vehicle lamp illuminating apparatus as in claim 1 , wherein the first level reflection mirror ( 20 ) has a first level upper reflection surface ( 201 ) corresponding to the LED light source ( 3 ) in the upper row and a first level lower reflection surface ( 202 ) corresponding to the LED light source ( 3 ) in the lower row, and the first level upper reflection surface ( 201 ) and the first level lower reflection surface ( 202 ) both have ellipsoidal surfaces, free-form curved surfaces, or planes.

5. The vehicle lamp illuminating apparatus as in claim 1 , wherein a first shielding member ( 51 ) configured to prevent the light emitted by the LED light source ( 3 ) in the upper row from being directly incident into the second level upper reflection mirror ( 21 ) is disposed between the LED light source ( 3 ) in the upper row and the second level upper reflection mirror ( 21 ); and a second shielding member ( 52 ) configured to prevent light emitted by the LED light source ( 3 ) in the lower row from being directly incident into the second level lower reflection mirror ( 22 ) is disposed between the LED light source ( 3 ) in the lower row and the second level lower reflection mirror ( 22 ).

6. The vehicle lamp illuminating apparatus as in claim 1 , wherein the LED light source ( 3 ) is disposed on the circuit board ( 4 ), rotates around the transverse, wherein a maximum angle by which the LED light source ( 3 ) transversely rotates does not exceed 45°.

7. The vehicle lamp illuminating apparatus as in claim 1 , wherein the lens ( 1 ) is a balsaming lens.

8. A vehicle lamp assembly, comprising the vehicle lamp illuminating apparatus as in claim 1 .

9. A vehicle, comprising the vehicle lamp assembly as in claim 8 .
