SPECIFIC EMBODIMENT

(8) Next, this invention will be further explained in detail by combining with the figures.

(9) Implementation Example of the Light Transmission Device of Automobile Lamp for this Invention:

(10) As shown in FIG. 2, the light transmission device of this implementation example comprises screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1, fixing bracket 2, light guide 3 and light source assembly 4. The screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 is provided with the first mounting hole for the cooperation of installation with light guide 3 and the light guide is inserted into the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 via the first mounting hole. The fixing bracket 2 is provided with the second mounting hole for the cooperation with screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1, one end of which passes through aforesaid second mounting hole and is fixed for cooperation with the fixing neck set in the first mounting hole through the first lug boss set in the light guide after rotating and the other end of which is fixed with light source assembly 4 via locating pins, and aforesaid light source assembly 4 is fixed to fixing bracket 2 by screws.

(11) As shown in FIG. 3, screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 of this implementation example comprises three second lug bosses 1a, two elastic pieces 1b, guide slot 1c, fixing neck 1d and two knock hole 1e. Light guide 3 comprises the first lug boss 3a used for fixing light guide 3, and the first lug boss 3a cooperates with fixing neck 1d, achieving the fixing of light guide with screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1. Size of guide slot 1c is slightly larger than outline size of three second lug boss 1a and light guide 3a is inserted into screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 through the cooperation of the first lug boss 3a with guide slot 1c. The inner side of the first mounting hole of fixing bracket 2 comprises vias 2a whose size is slightly larger than the outline size of three second lug boss 1a and screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 passes through aforesaid second mounting holes through the cooperation of three second lug boss 1a with vias 2a. After the light guide is inserted into screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 and screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 passes through aforesaid second mounting hole, screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 is operated, making the first lug boss 3a stuck in the fixing neck 1d to realize the fixing of the light guide to screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1, meantime, making the second lug boss 1a stuck on the edge of the first mounting hole and screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 stuck on fixing bracket 2 via the second lug boss 1a so as to prevent screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 escaping from mounting holes of the fixing bracket.

(12) The contacting surface of aforesaid fixing bracket with the first lug boss 3a comprises spacing lug boss which is used to block the first lug boss 3a when rotating and limit the rotation deviation of screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1. As shown in FIG. 4, two circular-arc elastic pieces mounted to screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 are provided with spacing embossment; one end face of the second mounting hole matching elastic piece 1b is provided with a groove matching aforesaid spacing embossment. After screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 passes through the second mounting hole, aforesaid spacing embossment is in the groove and aforesaid spacing embossment slips off from the groove through screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism, enabling screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 to drive the light guide to deviate from the set distance to the direction of light source assembly and the spacing embossment of elastic piece 1d to contact with the contacting surface 2c of the second mounting hole. The outer side of an end fitted with elastic pieces of screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 in this implementation example is provided with a raised clamping platform, used for the positioning of the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism after rotating, which finally realizes the fixing of screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 to fixing bracket 2.

(13) Light source assembly 4 is provided with light source 4b, two locating pin 4a and four screw 4. Locating pin 4a cooperates with two knock hole 1e on screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1, which fixes light source assembly to the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism, preventing the deviation of screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 after its positioning.

(14) Light source assembly 4 is fixedly mounted to fixing bracket 2 via four screw 5. When light source assembly 4 is fixed to fixing bracket 2, the mounting surface 4c of light source assembly 4 contacts with the mounting surface 3f of screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 and drives the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism, together with the light guide, to move to A direction away from the light source, making two elastic pieces deform and generate elastic force, which further makes the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism drive the light guide tightly pressed to the light source assembly.

(15) Assembling process for the light transmission device in this invention is:

(16) Pass one end of light guide 3 fitted with the first lug boss through the second mounting hole along A direction and move the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism to the second mounting hole along the opposite direction, meantime, light guide 3 is inserted into the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism through the cooperation of the first lug boss 3a with guide slot 1c and the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism drives light guide 3 to pass through the second mounting hole along the direction opposite to A direction through the cooperation of the first lug boss with vias 2a.

(17) Then rotate the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism, making two first lug boss 3a lock the fixing neck 1d and screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 fixed to light guide 3. Meantime, screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 drives the light guide to deviate from the set distance to the direction of light source assembly, the spacing lug boss of the elastic piece 1d contacts with the contacting surface 2c and generates a certain amount of deformation, and three second lug boss 1a lock the second mounting hole of the fixing bracket 2, preventing the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 escaping from the fixing bracket 2 so as to realize the fixing of the fixing bracket 2 to the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1;

(18) Finally, insert two locating pin 4a of light source assembly into two knock hole 1e of screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 and fix them to fixing bracket 2 through four screw 5. Because the elastic force of elastic pieces makes screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 and light guide 3 deviate for a certain distance along A direction when screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 is rotating; when light source assembly 4 is fixed to fixing bracket 2, the mounting surface 4c of light source assembly contacts with the mounting surface 3f of screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 and drives screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1, together with light guide 3, to move along the opposite direction of A direction, making two elastic pieces deform and generate elastic force, which makes screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1, together with light guide 3, tightly pressed to light source assembly 4.

(19) Due to elastic force of elastic pieces, when the light source assembly is mounted, the light source assembly only drives the elastic pieces to deform, and the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism and light guide does not deviate from the light source, and because the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism and the light guide have been made to deviate from the set distance to the direction of light source assembly when screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 is rotated, the distance of the end face of light guide from the light source and the position thereof will not be affected even though screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism 1 is made to drive light guide 3 to slightly deviate to the direction away from the light source, making the distance of end face of light guide from the light source and the position thereof ensued.

(20) Implementation Example of Automobile Lamp in this Invention:

(21) The automobile lamp of this implementation example comprises the light transmission device whose implementation example is the same as the above implementation example of the light transmission device for automobile lamp, so it will not be repeated here.

(22) The screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism is set between the light guide and the light source assembly, ensuring the contact of the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism with the mounting surface of light source assembly by taking advantage of the elastic force of two elastic pieces, making the screw-in type elastic pressing mechanism drive the light guide tightly pressed to the mounting surface of light source assembly, which solves the problem of a certain range of deviation from the distance of the light guide from LED light source as caused by a little movement after the light guide is installed in place in present frequently-used mounting method. The mounting method of this invention helps to ensure the distance of the light guide from the light source and the position thereof, making the light-emitting effect of automobile lamp more stable.
