Luminous radiator cover device for a vehicle

摘要

A luminous radiator cover device includes: a lighting cover unit (2) including a looped frame (3) mounted to a front side of a vehicle (900), multiple hollow light-transmissive ribs (4) each disposed in and connected to the frame (3), and multiple lighting units (5) each disposed in a corresponding light-transmissive rib (4); and a control unit (6) connected electrically to the lighting units (5) of the lighting cover unit (2). The control unit (6) is operable to control the lighting units (5) of the lighting cover unit (2) to operate in a lighting mode, where lighting of each lighting unit (5) is varied in response to sound in the vehicle (900).

1. A luminous radiator cover device for a vehicle, comprising:
at least one lighting cover unit including a looped frame adapted to be mounted to a front side of the vehicle; a plurality of hollow light-transmissive ribs disposed spacedly in and connected to said looped frame, and arranged in a first direction, each of said light-transmissive ribs extending in a second direction transverse to the first direction and being configured with an inner receiving space that extends in the second direction; a plurality of lighting units each disposed in said inner receiving space of a corresponding one of said light-transmissive ribs and capable of emitting light; a control unit connected electrically to said lighting units of said lighting cover unit, said control unit being operable to control said lighting units of said lighting cover unit to operate in a first lighting mode, where lighting of each of said lighting units is varied in response to at least sound in the vehicle, and
wherein said control unit includes:
a sound collector for collecting the sound in the vehicle to output an audio signal corresponding to the sound collected thereby:an audio analyzer connected electrically to said sound collector, receiving the audio signal from said sound collector, analyzing the audio signal to obtain frequency variation of the audio signal, and outputting a frequency analysis signal corresponding to the frequency variation of the audio signal;a controller connected electrically to said audio analyzer and said lighting units of said lighting cover unit, and receiving the frequency analysis signal from said audio analyzer, said controller controlling said lighting units of said lighting cover unit based on at least the frequency analysis signal to operate in the first lighting mode such that the light emitted by each of said lighting units has a flash frequency varying with the frequency variation of the audio signal;a temperature sensor adapted to be disposed in the vehicle and connected electrically to said controller for sensing ambient temperature near said temperature sensor to output to said controller a temperature signal corresponding to the ambient temperature; andsaid controller further receives the temperature signal from said temperature sensor, and controls said lighting units of said lighting cover unit based on the frequency analysis signal and the temperature signal to operate in the first lighting mode such that the flash frequency of the light emitted by each of said lighting units varies with the frequency variation of the audio signal and such that the light emitted by each of said lighting units has a color varying with the ambient temperature.
