Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile lamps, in particular to a light-adjusting support and a light-adjusting method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to manufacturing and assembly deviations of the car lamp and the car body, the reflector is difficult to directly reflect the front after actual assembly, therefore, a light-adjusting support is needed. The existing light-adjusting support adopts ball head screws on the upper and lower sides, when adjusting the light, the frictional resistance of the fixed ball head structure under the reflector to the reflector is large, and when adjusting, the reflector is deformed to affect the light pattern. SUMMARY

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the existing reflector is prone to deformation when adjusting the light, which affects the light pattern, the present application provides a light-adjusting support and a light-adjusting method thereof, by improving the connecting structure between the reflector and the support, the resistance of the reflector during adjustment can be effectively reduced, so that the reflector will not be deformed, and the light pattern of the reflected light of the reflector will not be affected.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the technical problem is: a light-adjusting support, comprising: a support, an adjusting assembly and a connecting assembly, the support is connected with a reflector, the adjusting assembly comprises: a ball head screw and a ball head sleeve, the ball head screw is connected with the support, the ball head sleeve is connected with the reflector, the ball head screw and the ball head sleeve are connected in cooperation, the connecting assembly comprises: a first connecting piece, a first elastic piece and a second connecting piece, the first connecting piece is connected with the support, the two ends of the first elastic piece are respectively attached to the second connecting piece and the reflector, the second connecting piece penetrates the reflector, the first elastic piece and the first connecting piece, so as to connect the support and the reflector.

[0005] Therefore, the adjusting assembly and the connecting assembly are connected between the support and the reflector, during the light adjustment, only the ball head screw needs to be rotated to realize the adjustment of the light pattern of the reflected light of the reflector, so that the light of the reflected light can directly reflect the front, the resistance of the reflector during adjustment can be effectively reduced by the first elastic piece, so that the reflector will not be deformed, and the light pattern of the reflected light of the reflector will not be affected, at the same time, the space occupied by the connecting assembly is small, which can effectively save the space.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer circumference of the first elastic member is provided with a plurality of second elastic members, each of which has an arc-shaped longitudinal cross-section. One end of the second elastic member is connected to the first elastic member, and the other end of the second elastic member is in contact with the reflector. Thus, the first elastic member is elastic and can adaptively deform elastically during adjustment of the reflector's tilt angle, allowing the connecting assembly to adapt to the rotation of the reflector and provide stable support, ensuring that the reflector and the bracket remain stable.

[0007] Furthermore, the first elastic member defines a first through-hole, and the second connecting member passes through the first elastic member. Thus, the second elastic member is elastic and can adaptively deform during adjustment of the reflector's tilt angle, allowing the connecting assembly to adapt to the reflector's rotation and provide stable support, ensuring that the reflector and the bracket remain stable.

[0008] Furthermore, the first connecting member has a groove, into which the second connecting member is inserted to connect the bracket to the reflector. The outer surface of the first connecting member is provided with two support blocks, and the sides of the support blocks adjacent to the reflector are arc-shaped. Thus, the support blocks enhance the structural strength of the first connecting member, facilitate support for the reflector, and further improve the stability of the reflector. The arc-shaped surfaces facilitate relative rotation between the reflector and the first connecting member, thereby facilitating adjustment of the reflector.

[0009] Furthermore, the ball screw includes: a first connecting portion, a ball head, and an adjustment portion. The first connecting portion passes through the bracket, the ball head and the adjustment portion are respectively located at both ends of the first connecting portion and connected to the first connecting portion. The ball head is inserted into the interior of the ball head sleeve and is rotatably connected to the ball head sleeve. The longitudinal cross-section of the adjustment portion is a regular polygon. Therefore, when a staff member inserts a tool into the adjustment portion and rotates the tool, the adjustment portion rotates, causing the first connecting portion and the ball head to rotate accordingly and move along the axial direction of the first connecting portion, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the reflector and ensuring that the reflected light of the reflector can be directed directly forward.

[0010] Furthermore, the ball stud sleeve includes: a second connecting portion, multiple mounting portions, and multiple elastic portions. One end of the mounting portion and the elastic portion are both connected to the second connecting portion. The number of the mounting portions is equal to the number of the elastic portions. The other end of the mounting portion is connected to the reflector. The mounting portion and the elastic portion are spaced apart. A gap exists between the mounting portion and the elastic portion. The ball head is inserted into the second connecting portion and is rotatably connected to the ball stud sleeve. Thus, the second connecting portion ensures that the ball stud always fits with the ball stud sleeve during rotation and does not fall off the ball stud sleeve. The mounting portion can fix the ball stud sleeve on the reflector. The elastic portion is elastic, and a gap exists between the mounting portion and the elastic portion. This allows the elastic portion to expand during assembly of the ball stud and the ball stud sleeve, facilitating assembly between the ball stud and the ball stud sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with a second through hole, and the first connecting portion passes through the second through hole and is rotatably connected to the bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the reflector is provided with a third through hole and a fourth through hole, the first connecting portion passes through the third through hole, and the second connecting member passes through the fourth through hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the angle between the plane where the reflector reflects the light and the horizontal plane is α. When the light reflected by the reflector is directed forward, the plane where the reflector is located and the horizontal plane are parallel to each other.

[0014] The present invention also provides a method for adjusting a dimming bracket, comprising the following steps:

[0015] S1. Obtaining the angle α between the plane where the reflector is located and the horizontal plane, and determining the angle α;

[0016] S2. If α=β, the light reflected by the reflector can be directed straight forward;

[0017] S3. If α is less than 0°, rotate the ball screw clockwise to push the reflector to rotate clockwise around the vertical plane of the reflector until α is equal to 0°. Stop rotating the ball screw. At this time, the light reflected by the reflector can be directed straight forward.

[0018] S4. If α>0°, rotate the ball screw counterclockwise to push the reflector to rotate counterclockwise around the vertical plane of the plane where the reflector is located until α=0°, and stop rotating the ball screw. At this time, the light reflected by the reflector can be directed straight forward.

Therefore, an adjustment component 3 and a connecting component 6 are connected between the bracket 1 and the reflector 2. During the dimming process, it is only necessary to rotate the ball screw 4 to adjust the light pattern of the light reflected by the reflector 2, ensuring that the reflected light can be directly directed forward. The first elastic member 602 can effectively reduce the resistance encountered by the reflector 2 during adjustment, ensuring that the reflector 2 will not be deformed, and thus will not affect the light pattern of the light reflected by the reflector 2.

Therefore, the first elastic member 602 and the second elastic member 6021 are elastic, and can adaptively undergo elastic deformation during the adjustment of the inclination angle of the reflector 2, so that the connecting component 6 can adapt to the rotation of the reflector 2 and can provide stable support, so that the reflector 2 and the bracket 1 always remain stable; the support block 6012 can enhance the structural strength of the first connecting member 601, facilitate the support of the reflector 2, and further improve the stability of the reflector 2; the arc surface can facilitate the relative rotation between the reflector 2 and the first connecting member 601, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the reflector 2.

[0041] For example, the first elastic member 602 and the second elastic member 6021 may be rubber pads.

[0042] In the embodiment, the ball screw 4 comprises a first connecting part 401, a ball head part 402 and an adjusting part 403, the first connecting part 401 penetrates the support 1, the ball head part 402 and the adjusting part 403 are respectively located at two ends of the first connecting part 401 and connected with the first connecting part 401, the ball head part 402 is inserted into the inside of the ball head sleeve 5 and rotationally connected with the ball head sleeve 5, and the longitudinal section of the adjusting part 403 is a regular polygon.

[0047] For example, the second through hole 101 can be a threaded hole, and the first connecting part 401 is threadedly connected with the second through hole 101.

[0053] S4. If α>0°, rotate the ball screw 4 counterclockwise to push the reflector 2 to rotate counterclockwise around the vertical plane of the plane where the reflector 2 is located until α=0°, and stop rotating the ball screw 4. At this time, the light reflected by the reflector 2 can be directed straight forward.

[0054] To sum up, the present invention has an adjustment component 3 and a connecting component 6 connected between the bracket 1 and the reflector 2. During the dimming process, it is only necessary to rotate the ball screw 4 to adjust the light pattern of the light reflected by the reflector 2, ensuring that the reflected light can be directly projected forward. The first elastic member 602 can effectively reduce the resistance encountered by the reflector 2 during adjustment, ensuring that the reflector 2 will not be deformed, thereby not affecting the light pattern of the light reflected by the reflector 2. At the same time, the space occupied by the connecting component 6 is small, which can effectively save space. Through the arrangement of the first elastic member 602 and the second elastic member 6021, since the first elastic member 602 and the second elastic member 6021 are elastic, during the adjustment process of the inclination angle of the reflector 2, they can adaptively undergo elastic deformation, so that the connecting component 6 can adapt to the rotation of the reflector 2 and can provide stable support, so that the reflector 2 and the bracket 1 always remain stable.
