[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 3The present invention will now describe a headlight light source structure. The headlight light source structure includes a connecting sleeve 1, a hemispherical convex lens 2, an LED light panel 3, and a lens group 4. The connecting sleeve 1 has a through-hole 101 in its middle. The hemispherical convex lens 2 is inserted into the upper end of the through-hole 101, with its convex surface located outside the connecting sleeve 1. The LED light panel 3 is connected to the lower end of the connecting sleeve 1. The lens group 4 is located on the upper end of the LED light panel 3 and inside the through-hole 101. The lens group 4 is used to converge the light emitted from the LED light panel 3 onto the focal point of the hemispherical convex lens 2.
[0040] The present invention provides a headlight light source structure that, compared with the prior art, uses a high-brightness LED light panel 3 and a lens group 4 is set on the LED light panel 3 to converge the light emitted by the LED light panel 3, so that the light is focused on the focal point of the hemispherical convex lens 2, and then the light is refracted by the hemispherical convex lens 2 to form a uniformly distributed light, thereby reducing the amount of light divergence and improving the lighting effect of the lamp.
[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A heat sink 5 is bolted to the lower end of the connecting sleeve 1. The LED light board 3 is fixed to the upper end of the heat sink 5. In order to improve the heat dissipation effect, multiple heat sinks 51 are also connected to the lower end of the heat sink 5.
[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The connecting sleeve 1 is a plastic product made of PC material. An annular boss 21 is provided circumferentially on the flat end of the hemispherical convex lens 2. A limiting component is provided on the connecting sleeve 1 to restrict the up and down movement of the annular boss 21. Specifically, the limiting component includes an annular flange 11 and an elastic sheet 12. The annular flange 11 is provided circumferentially on the upper end of the receiving hole 101 and protrudes inward. There are multiple elastic sheets 12, which are provided circumferentially on the inner sidewall of the receiving hole 101 and located below the annular flange 11. The hemispherical convex lens 2 passes through the annular flange 11, and the annular boss 21 is locked between the annular flange 11 and the elastic sheet 12.
[0043] In this embodiment, four clearance windows 102 are provided circumferentially along the side wall of the receiving hole 101, and the four clearance windows 102 are evenly arranged. The aforementioned elastic sheet 12 is disposed in the clearance window 102. The elastic sheet 12 can deform to the inside or outside of the connecting sleeve 1 through the clearance window 102. In this embodiment, the elastic sheet 12 is a plastic sheet structure of the same material as the connecting sleeve 1, and is integrally formed with the connecting sleeve 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, an abutment portion 121 is provided on the sidewall of the elastic sheet 12 facing the receiving hole 101. The abutment portion 121 protrudes into the receiving hole 101. In application, the abutment portion 121 abuts against the lower end of the annular boss 21. To facilitate the assembly of the hemispherical lens 2, an inclined surface 1211 is provided on the sidewall of the abutment portion 121 facing the receiving hole 101, which is inclined from top to bottom and outward. During installation, the hemispherical lens 2 is inserted through the lower end of the receiving hole 101. As the hemispherical convex lens 2 moves upward, the annular boss 21 slides from bottom to top along the inclined plane 1211. The annular boss 21 presses the elastic sheet 12, causing the elastic sheet 12 to shift and deform towards the outside of the connecting sleeve 1 through the clearance window 102. After the annular boss 21 passes the abutment part 121, the elastic sheet 12 shifts towards the inside of the connecting sleeve 1 through the clearance window 102 to restore its deformation and abuts against the lower end of the annular boss 21, restricting the downward movement of the annular boss 21.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4 to 7 Multiple slots 22 are provided on the annular boss 21 of the hemispherical convex lens 2. A locking block is provided on the inner side wall of the receiving hole 101 corresponding to the slots 22. In application, the slots 22 and the locking blocks are inserted and cooperated to restrict the rotation of the hemispherical convex lens 2.
[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4 to 7 The aforementioned card block includes two first blocks and two second blocks. The first block is a strip block 131 connected between the side wall of the receiving hole 101 and the annular flange 11. The second block is an L-shaped block 132 connected between the side wall of the receiving hole 101 and the annular flange 11. In this embodiment, the long side end of the L-shaped block 132 is connected to the inner edge of the annular flange 11, and the short side end of the L-shaped block 132 is connected to the side wall of the receiving hole 101. There is a storage gap 103 between the long side end of the L-shaped block 132 and the side wall of the receiving hole 101. A plug is inserted into the storage gap 103. The plug presses against the long side end of the L-shaped block 132 so that the long side end of the L-shaped block 132 clamps the annular boss 21, preventing the hemispherical convex lens 2 from becoming loose when connected to the connecting sleeve 1.
[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 8 to 10An insert plate 6 is provided on the inner side wall of the receiving hole 101. The spatula is an arc-shaped plate that fits against the inner wall of the receiving hole 101. In application, the insert plate 6 and the connecting sleeve 1 are made of the same material. The plug is an arched piece 61 set on the upper end of the insert plate 6. In this embodiment, the middle part of the arched piece 61 protrudes into the receiving hole 101 in an arched shape. When in use, the insert plate 6 is inserted into the side wall of the receiving hole 101, and the arched piece 61 at the upper end of the insert plate 6 is inserted into the above-mentioned storage gap 103. The height of the arched piece 61 protruding in the middle is slightly greater than the size of the storage gap 103. Thus, after the arched piece 61 is inserted into the storage gap 103, the long side end of the L-shaped block 132 can be squeezed to clamp the annular boss 21. In this embodiment, in order to improve the structural strength of the insert plate 6, some protrusions 63 are provided in the middle of the insert plate 6. In addition, a clearance groove 64 for the clearance elastic piece 12 is provided at the upper end of the shovel plate.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 A plug-in portion is provided at the lower end of the insert plate 6, and a plug-in block 14 is provided on the connecting sleeve 1 corresponding to the plug-in portion. The plug-in portion cooperates with the plug-in block 14 to fix the insert plate 6. Specifically, the plug-in portion is an L-shaped plate 62 connected to the outer side of the lower edge of the insert plate 6. The middle part of the L-shaped plate 62 is provided with a plug hole 621. The plug-in block 14 is provided on the bottom of the outer side wall of the connecting sleeve 1. The outer end of the plug-in block 14 is provided with a guide surface 141 that slopes outward from bottom to top. In application, the side wall of the connecting sleeve 1 is inserted between the L-shaped plate 62 and the insert plate 6, and the plug-in block 14 is inserted into the plug hole 621. The plug-in block 14 protrudes outward from the L-shaped plate 62. The plug-in block 14 fixes the insert plate 6 on the connecting sleeve 1 by restricting the downward movement of the L-shaped plate 62.
[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
