In the past, cars ke taillights usually trunk open karne mein problem nahi karte the, because wo kaafi small hote the. Bas ek exception tha, Porsche 911, jisme engine rear mein hota hai or lights bottom mein hoti hai, isliye usko large tailgate ya opening ki need nahi hoti thi.
But time ke saath technology improve hui, or ab trunks or taillights ka design itna seamlessly integrate ho gaya hai ki dono ek hi flow mein dikhte hai.
This means or zyada wiring increase karni hogi jo hidden locations se hokar taillights ko connect kare, trunck tak bhi. Itni simple si problem aayi, so Mercedes Benz ne ek kaafi smart solution nikaal liya, jo unke recent patent mein dikha. To be honest kaafi brilliant work kiya hai unhone.
Mercedes holds a patent featuring numerous lights
Mercedes holds a fascinating patent concerning rear lights
German engineers ko usually is baat ke liye jaana jaata hai ki simple problems ke liye bhi thode complex solutions find karte hai, but iss case mein zyada baat clever fix ya pure ingenuity ki hai. Patent mein do ka mention hai ek taillights ka jo body pe fixed hai, or second jo tailgate pe laga hota hai.
Obviously, first component car ke electrical wiring harness se connected hota hai. And ab tak, common practice ye hi raha hai ki trunk lights ke saath bhi same kiya jaye.
Nowdays yeh trunk lights brand design ka important part ban chuki hai, jise "lighting signature" kehte hai, so that companies apne aap ko differentiate kar sakein, especially aaj ki time mein jab SUVs ke silhouettes kaafi similar lagte hai.
A section of the headlights that would remain disconnected from the wiring
The lights above the gate would remain unconnected to the rest of the electrical wiring
Ye hai jo Mercedes Benz is patent ke through change karna chahta hai, yeh part directly electrical wiring se connected nahi hoga.
Iske instead, ye other lights se ek contact ke through connect hoga jo electrical signal or control signals transmit karega (jaise reversing lights ke case mein hota hai), or jab bhi trunk close hoga tab ye automatically light ho jayega.
Ye contact basically ek electrical contact hoga jo ek spring ya elastic contact ke saath work karega (simple language mein ek spring hi samajh lo). Yeh spring trunk lid ko touch karega so that confirm ho sake ki woh properly off hai, or both parts ke between connection bana rahe. Saath hi, ye trunk or car body ke between jo mounting tolerances hote hai unko bhi adjust/compensate karega.
Benefits of the Mercedes patent
Iske advantages kaafi saare hai, firstly, yeh electrical wiring ko reduce karta hai, jiski wajah se car manufacturing cost bhi reduce ho jaati hai (jo European industry ke liye important hai, especially Chinese competitors se compete karne ke liye).
Saath hi, yeh weight bhi reduce karta hai, jo nowdays modern cars mein kaafi important factor ban gaya hai.
Workshop mein repair ke case mein, bill bhi low aa sakta hai. Complete car ki wiring dobara karne ki jagah, jo ki electric vehicles ke liye especially kaafi time leta hai, ek simple or smart solution se sought kiya jata hai.
Mercedes has also explored protective measures
This concept can be applied to 'split' front headlights for frunking in electric cars
"Obviously This mean jab trunk open hoga, so taillights ka ye wala part power nahi lega. Mercedes ko yeh itna important nahi lagta, because trunk usually tabhi open hota hai jab car ya toh stationary ho ya parked hoti hai."
Mercedes ka patent ek protective cover bhi include karta hai jo contact ko dirt prevent karne se ya exposed rehne se cover karta hai. Yeh cover unwanted ya extra things se bhi protect karega, jaise keys ya metal bracelet by mistake us aera ko touch kar lein.
Also relevant to frunks
"Ye sab things, obviously, headlights pe bhi apply ho sakti hai, especially jab frunk ki baat ho rahi ho, matlab electric cars mein jo front axle ke upper small sa trunk hota hai. Ye humne EQA or EQB dono mein dekha hai or unke ek recent electric model CLA mein bhi.
