Abstract

A controllable vehicle lamp assembly includes a carrier module, a light-emitting module, an optical module and a controllable module. The light-emitting module includes a first light-emitting structure and a second light-emitting structure. The first light-emitting structure is disposed on a top side of the carrier module for providing a first light source, and the second light-emitting structure is disposed on a bottom side of the carrier module for providing a second light source. The optical module includes a first reflective cover disposed on the top side of the carrier module, a second reflective cover disposed on the bottom side of the carrier module, a movable shielding assembly movably disposed on the top side of the carrier module, and an optical lens disposed on the top side of the carrier module. The controllable module includes a movable driving component for contacting the movable shielding assembly.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A controllable vehicle lamp assembly, comprising:
a carrier module;
a light-emitting module including a first light-emitting structure electrically connected to the carrier module, and a second light-emitting structure electrically connected to the carrier module, wherein the first light-emitting structure is disposed on a top side of the carrier module for providing a first light source, and the second light-emitting structure is disposed on a bottom side of the carrier module for providing a second light source;
an optical module including a first reflective cover disposed on the top side of the carrier module, a second reflective cover disposed on the bottom side of the carrier module, a movable shielding assembly movably disposed on the top side of the carrier module, and an optical lens disposed on the top side of the carrier module; and
a controllable module including a movable driving component for contacting the movable shielding assembly;
wherein a plurality of first light beams generated by the first light source are reflected by the first reflective cover so as to form a plurality of first reflected light beams, a plurality of second light beams generated by the first light source are reflected by the first reflective cover so as to form a plurality of second reflected light beams, a plurality of third light beams generated by the first light source are reflected by the first reflective cover so as to form a plurality of third reflected light beams, and a plurality of light beams generated by the second light source are reflected by the second reflective cover so as to form a plurality of reflected light beams;
wherein, when the movable shielding assembly is moved from a first position to a second position by controlling of the movable driving component, the first reflected light beams pass through the optical lens so as to be converted into a plurality of first projected light beams, the second reflected light beams pass through the optical lens so as to be converted into a plurality of second projected light beams, and the third reflected light beams are blocked by the movable shielding assembly and do not directly pass through the optical lens;
wherein, when the movable shielding assembly is moved from the second position to the first position, the first reflected light beams pass through the optical lens so as to be converted into the first projected light beams, the second reflected light beams are blocked by the movable shielding assembly and do not directly pass through the optical lens, and the third reflected light beams are reflected by the movable shielding assembly and pass through the optical lens so as to be converted into a plurality of third projected light beams.

2. The controllable vehicle lamp assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the movable shielding assembly includes a pivot element disposed on the carrier module, a movable shielding element pivotably disposed on the pivot element, and an elastic element disposed around the pivot element, and the pivot element includes a first pivot portion and a second pivot portion that matches with the first pivot portion; wherein the elastic element has an elastic body disposed around the pivot element, a first abutting portion connected to a side of the elastic body for abutting against the carrier module, and a second abutting portion connected to another side of the elastic body for abutting against the movable shielding element, and the movable shielding element is moved from the second position to the first position by an elastic force provided by the elastic element; wherein the movable shielding element has a fixed matching portion, a stop portion for blocking the second abutting portion of the elastic element, and a penetrating portion corresponding to the fixed matching portion, the movable driving component includes a movable matching portion that matches with the fixed matching portion, and the movable shielding element is pulled downwardly by the movable driving component through cooperation of the fixed matching portion and the movable matching portion, so that the movable shielding element is moved from the first position to the second position; wherein the optical module includes a light-reflecting component disposed under the optical lens, the light-reflecting component is disposed between the optical lens and the second reflective cover, and the optical lens protrudes further from the optical module than the light-reflecting component.

3. The controllable vehicle lamp assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the movable shielding element has a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface obliquely connected to the first reflective surface, and the first reflective cover includes a first reflective body, a second reflective body connected to the first reflective body, and a shielding portion extending upwardly from the second reflective body; wherein the first reflective body has a first reflective curved surface, the second reflective body has a second reflective curved surface connected to the first reflective curved surface, and the first reflective curved surface has a curvature different from that of the second reflective curved surface; wherein the first light beams of the first light source are reflected by the first reflective curved surface of the first reflective cover so as to form the first reflected light beams, the second light beams of the first light source are reflected by the first reflective curved surface of the first reflective cover so as to form the second reflected light beams, and the third light beams of the first light source are reflected by the second reflective curved surface of the first reflective cover so as to form the third reflected light beams; wherein, when the movable shielding assembly is moved from the first position to the second position, the third reflected light beams are projected onto the second reflective surface of the movable shielding assembly and do not directly pass through the optical lens; wherein, when the movable shielding assembly is moved from the second position to the first position, the third reflected light beams are projected onto the second reflective surface of the movable shielding assembly and pass through the optical lens so as to be converted into the third projected light beams.

4. A controllable vehicle lamp assembly, comprising:
a carrier module;
a light-emitting module including a first light-emitting structure disposed on a top side of the carrier module for providing a first light source;
an optical module including a first reflective cover disposed on the top side of the carrier module, a movable shielding assembly movably disposed on the top side of the carrier module, and an optical lens disposed on the top side of the carrier module; and
a controllable module including a movable driving component for contacting the movable shielding assembly;
wherein a plurality of first light beams generated by the first light source are reflected by the first reflective cover so as to form a plurality of first reflected light beams, a plurality of second light beams generated by the first light source are reflected by the first reflective cover so as to form a plurality of second reflected light beams, and a plurality of third light beams generated by the first light source are reflected by the first reflective cover so as to form a plurality of third reflected light beams;
wherein the first reflected light beams pass through the optical lens so as to be converted into a plurality of first projected light beams, the second reflected light beams pass through the optical lens so as to be converted into a plurality of second projected light beams or the second reflected light beams are blocked by the movable shielding assembly and do not directly pass through the opt
