Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle light dimming, and in particular to a support module, a vehicle light dimming module, a vehicle light and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As vehicle lights are constantly updated, more and more manufacturers use light-emitting diode (LED) lighting modules or projection modules as headlights. Using LED and projection as headlights can increase brightness and reduce energy consumption, allowing drivers to see the road ahead and obstacles more clearly.

[0003] However, since LEDs and projectors need to be installed on vehicles through complex dimming brackets, it is difficult to replace individual lights when they fail during daily use. The entire light needs to be replaced, resulting in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a support module, a headlight dimming module, a headlight and a vehicle, which can adjust the connection between the headlight module and the shell so that the headlight module can be disassembled separately, thereby facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the headlight module.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a support module for supporting a vehicle light module, comprising a base, a support portion, and an adjustment portion. The base is used to be installed on the outside of a shell, and the base is used to be detachably connected to the shell. The support portion is connected to the base, and when the base is installed on the outside of the shell, the support portion is located inside the shell. One side of the adjustment portion is connected to the support portion, and the other side of the adjustment portion is used to connect to the vehicle light module. When the base is installed on the outside of the shell, the adjustment portion is located inside the shell, and the adjustment portion is used to adjust the angle of the light emitting surface of the vehicle light module.

[0006] The headlights of general vehicles usually have a cut-off line. The cut-off line is designed to ensure that the driver has a clear view at night or in low-light environments, while reducing interference and glare to other road users.

[0007] In this embodiment, the support module is connected to the shell only through the base, and other structural parts of the support module except the base do not contact the shell, so that the headlight module connected to the adjustment part is not affected by the shell structure. At present, the shell of the headlight is generally made of thermoplastic materials, etc., and the shell will deform to a certain extent due to the thermal expansion and contraction effect under extreme temperature conditions. Decoupling the support part, the adjustment part and the headlight module from the shell structure movement can prevent the deformation of the shell from affecting the relative position of the headlight module and the body of the vehicle, so that the headlight module can emit light more stably, so that the light cutoff line of the headlight can be more determined. The stable light cutoff line can ensure that the driver has a clear and stable field of vision at night or in a dimly lit environment, and can promptly detect the traffic conditions ahead, thereby avoiding traffic accidents.

[0008] Since the base of the present application is located outside the shell, and the support part and the adjustment part are located inside the shell, when the headlight module is damaged, it is only necessary to remove the base from the outside of the shell, and then take out the support part, the adjustment part and the headlight module from the inside of the shell, so that the headlight module can be replaced or disassembled for repair. There is no need to replace the entire headlight. Therefore, the support module provided in the embodiment of the present application can reduce the maintenance cost of the headlight, so that the owner can replace or repair the headlight in time, ensure the integrity of the vehicle's lighting function, and make the vehicle's driving process safer.

[0009] In a possible embodiment, the support portion includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, the middle portion of the first connecting plate is connected to the base. The second connecting plate is provided with a light-transmitting opening, the light-transmitting opening penetrates the second connecting plate along the thickness direction of the second connecting plate, and the second connecting plate is bent and connected to the first connecting plate. The light-transmitting opening is used to avoid the headlight module, and one side of the adjustment portion is connected to the second connecting plate.

[0010] In a possible embodiment, the adjustment part includes a fixing frame, a connecting rod and a first telescopic rod. The fixing frame is provided with a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are spaced apart, and the fixing frame is used to connect the vehicle light module. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the second connecting plate, and the other end is connected to the hole wall of the first connecting hole, one end of the first telescopic rod is connected to the second connecting plate, and the other end is connected to the hole wall of the second connecting hole, and the first telescopic rod and the connecting rod are spaced apart. The first telescopic rod is used to change its length to change the distance between the second connecting hole and the second connecting plate, thereby changing the relative angle between the optical axis of the vehicle light module and the plane where the second connecting plate is located.

[0011] In this embodiment, the adjustment part can adjust the angle of the optical axis of the headlight module by extending and retracting the first telescopic rod, thereby changing the illuminated area of ​​the headlight module. This application does not need to use an overly long kinematic chain to adjust the angle of the optical axis of the headlight module, and avoids the deviation of the movement of the long kinematic chain during the power transmission process, so that the adjustment process of the angle of the optical axis of the headlight module is more reliable.

[0012] In a possible embodiment, the fixed frame includes a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame, the first sub-frame is provided with a mounting opening, the mounting opening penetrates the first sub-frame along the thickness direction of the first sub-frame, a part of the headlight module is located in the mounting opening, and the headlight module is fixedly connected to the first sub-frame. The second sub-frame is provided with a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole, both of which penetrate the second sub-frame along the thickness direction of the second sub-frame, and the second sub-frame is detachably connected to the first sub-frame. One end of the connecting rod away from the second connecting plate is connected to the hole wall of the first connecting hole of the second sub-frame, and one end of the first telescopic rod away from the second connecting plate is connected to the hole wall of the second connecting hole of the second sub-frame.

[0013] In this embodiment, since the headlight module can be installed in the installation opening of the first sub-frame, at least a portion of the first sub-frame is arranged around the headlight module, and the first sub-frame can be fixedly connected to multiple positions on the periphery of the headlight module, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the fixing frame and the headlight module, and avoiding the movement of the headlight module relative to the supporting module when the vehicle vibrates, thereby preventing the lighting area of ​​the vehicle from shaking.

[0014] Since the second sub-frame is detachably connected to the first sub-frame, when the headlight module fails to work properly, the headlight module can be replaced by simply disassembling and separating the first sub-frame from the second sub-frame, and the headlight module and the first sub-frame can be disassembled and replaced without disassembling the connecting piece and the connection position between the first telescopic rod and the second sub-frame. The support module provided by the present application can simplify the disassembly and assembly process of the headlight module and reduce the maintenance cost of the headlight. And the headlight module can be stably connected in the shell.

[0015] In a possible embodiment, the fixing frame further includes a second telescopic rod, the second subframe is provided with a third connecting hole, the third connecting hole is arranged opposite to the first connecting hole along a first direction, and the second connecting hole is arranged opposite to the first connecting hole along a second direction, wherein the first direction intersects the second direction. One end of the second telescopic rod is connected to the second connecting plate, and the other end is connected to the hole wall of the third connecting hole.

[0016] In this embodiment, when the first telescopic rod is extended or retracted, the light module can swing in the first direction with the first connection hole as the origin. When the second telescopic rod is extended or retracted, the light module can swing in the second direction with the first connection hole as the origin. The angles between the optical axis of the light module and the first direction and the second direction can be adjusted, so that the lighting area of ​​the light module can be adjusted more flexibly.

[0017] In a possible implementation manner, the connecting rod is a telescopic rod, and the connecting rod is used to change its length to change the distance between the first connecting hole and the second connecting plate.

[0018] In this embodiment, when the connecting rod and the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are extended or contracted at the same time, the vehicle light module can be translated, so that it is applicable to more usage scenarios.

[0019] In a possible implementation manner, the adjustment portion further includes a motor, which is electrically connected to the first telescopic rod, and the motor can extend or contract the first telescopic rod.

[0020] In this embodiment, the electrode can automatically extend and contract the first telescopic rod under the control of the vehicle controller, so that the vehicle light module can automatically change its angle under the control of the controller.

[0021] In a possible implementation manner, the support portion further includes a reinforcing plate, the reinforcing plate includes a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other, the first side is connected to the first connecting plate, and the second side is connected to the second connecting plate.

[0022] In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate can enhance the installation stability of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, so that the angle between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate is stable.

[0023] In a second aspect, the present application provides a vehicle light dimming module, which includes a vehicle light module and the supporting module as described above, and the vehicle light module is connected to an adjusting part.

[0024] In this embodiment, since the structure of the support module is relatively small, it does not need to occupy too much space in the shell, and the support part and the adjustment part in the support module are not in contact with the shell. The deformation of the shell under extreme temperature will not affect the structure of the support module, thereby avoiding the position stability of the headlight module connected to the support module from being affected, avoiding the headlight module from shaking, and ensuring the stability of the light cutoff line of the headlight.

[0025] In a third aspect, the present application further provides a vehicle lamp, comprising a housing, a vehicle lamp module and the support module as described above. The housing is provided with a receiving space and a mounting port, the mounting port passes through the housing and is connected to the receiving space. The vehicle lamp module is located in the receiving space. The base is located outside the housing, the edge of the base is detachably connected to the periphery of the mounting port, the support portion is located in the receiving space and is connected to the base, one side of the adjustment portion is connected to the support portion, and the other side is connected to the vehicle lamp module, and the adjustment portion is used to adjust the angle of the optical axis of the vehicle lamp module.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the vehicle lamp further includes a seal, and the shell is further provided with a sealing groove, which is arranged around the periphery of the mounting opening, and the sealing groove is recessed from the outer surface of the shell, the seal is connected to the sealing groove, and part of the base is connected to the sealing groove and abuts against the seal.

[0027] In this embodiment, the good sealing performance of the headlight can prevent moisture from entering the housing, and avoid the headlight module from short-circuiting due to contact with water. After moisture enters the interior of the headlight, it may form mist or water droplets, scattering and refracting the light, reducing the lighting effect. Good sealing performance can avoid this situation from happening, thereby improving the lighting effect. After dust and impurities enter the interior of the headlight, they may damage the surface of the headlight module, shorten the service life, and may also affect the function of the reflector, causing the brightness of the headlight to decrease or even not light up. Headlights with good sealing performance can effectively prevent the intrusion of dust and impurities.

[0028] In a possible embodiment, the base includes a bottom plate, a connecting portion and an abutting portion. The connecting portion is connected to the middle portion of the bottom plate, and the abutting portion is connected to the bottom plate and is arranged around the connecting portion. The edge portion of the bottom plate is detachably connected to the shell, the side of the connecting portion facing away from the bottom plate is connected to the supporting portion, at least part of the abutting portion is located in the sealing groove, and the abutting portion abuts against the sealing member.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the vehicle further includes a controller and a light module, and the controller is used to control the motor to push the first telescopic rod of the adjustment part to extend or contract, so as to change the angle of the optical axis of the light module.

[0041] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore, the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0042] For ease of understanding, the terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are first explained.

[0043] Multiple: refers to two or more than two.

[0044] Connection: should be understood in a broad sense. For example, A and B are connected, which can be either direct or indirect through an intermediary.

[0045] Vertical: The verticality defined in this application is not limited to an absolute vertical intersection relationship (angle of 90 degrees). It allows for non-absolute vertical intersection relationships caused by factors such as assembly tolerance, design tolerance, and influence of structural flatness. It also allows for errors in a small angle range. For example, the assembly error range of 80 to 100 degrees can be understood as a vertical relationship.

[0046] The specific implementation of the present application will be clearly described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0047] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle 100 includes a vehicle body 10 and a headlight 20. The headlight 20 is mounted on the vehicle body 10. Exemplarily, the headlight 20 may be a headlight of the vehicle 100. The headlight 20 may illuminate the road and objects in front of the vehicle to ensure driving safety. The headlight may also use alternating high beam and low beam as a nighttime overtaking signal. The headlight 20 may be mounted on both sides of the head of the vehicle body 10.

[0048] Exemplarily, the vehicle 100 further includes a controller (not shown), which is used to control the headlight 20 to change the angle of the optical axis of the headlight 20. The center console of the vehicle 100 can send a serial port command to the controller, and after receiving the command, the controller sends an electric control signal to the motor corresponding to the headlight 20, and the motor is extended and retracted in the corresponding direction according to the command, thereby adjusting the angle of the optical axis of the headlight 20.

[0049] As vehicle lights are constantly updated and upgraded, more and more manufacturers use light emitting diode (LED) lighting modules or projection modules as headlights or module units of headlights.

[0050] However, since the projection module is integrated into the headlight and then installed on the vehicle, it is difficult to replace the headlight individually when it fails during daily use. The entire headlight needs to be replaced, resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0051] In addition, the projection module can also be installed on the front side of the vehicle's bumper or other locations on the vehicle to project images to the outside of the vehicle for lighting or entertainment purposes. Because the projection module needs to be dustproof and waterproof, it will be installed in a relatively closed space. If the projection module fails, it will be difficult to replace and repair.

[0052] Based on this, the vehicle lamp 20 of the present application can adjust the connection mode between the vehicle lamp module and the housing so that the vehicle lamp module can be disassembled separately, which is convenient for the maintenance and replacement of the vehicle lamp module.

[0053] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the decomposition of the headlight 20. The headlight 20 includes a housing 21, a lampshade 22, a seal (not shown) and a headlight dimming module (not shown). The headlight dimming module includes a support module 24 and a headlight module 25. The housing 21 is connected to the vehicle body 10. The lampshade 22 is connected to the housing 21 to form an installation space. Parts of the support module 24 and the headlight module 25 are installed in the installation space. The seal is sealed and connected between the support module 24 and the lampshade 22.

[0054] It should be noted that Figure 2 The purpose is only to schematically describe the connection relationship between the housing 21, the lampshade 22, the support module 24 and the headlight module 25, and it does not specifically limit the connection position, specific structure and quantity of each device. The structure illustrated in the embodiment of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation on the headlight 20. In other embodiments of the present application, the headlight 20 may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0055] It should be noted that the lamp module 25 can be installed not only in the installation space formed by the housing 21 and the lampshade 22 of the lamp 20, but also in other housings. For example, the lamp module 25 can also be installed on the front bumper of the vehicle 100, or in other closed housings that can fix the lamp module 25. This application does not limit the specific application scenarios of the housing.

[0056] The headlight module 25 may be used as a separate headlight, or the headlight module 25 may be integrated with the low beam headlight module into one headlight 20 .

[0057] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of the housing 21 is shown. The housing 21 is provided with a receiving space 211, a mounting hole 212 and a light outlet 213. The mounting hole 212 and the light outlet 213 both penetrate the housing 21 and are connected to the receiving space 211. The side of the housing 21 provided with the mounting hole 212 can be installed toward the bottom of the vehicle 100. The side of the housing 21 provided with the light outlet 213 can be installed toward the front of the vehicle 100.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lampshade 22 is connected to the light outlet 213 of the housing 21. In this embodiment, one of the main functions of the lampshade 22 is to prevent light from diverging and make the light more concentrated. The lampshade 22 can guide the light to be projected in a predetermined direction, thereby improving the lighting effect.

[0059] The vehicle light module 25 is located in the receiving space 211 of the housing 21. The vehicle light module 25 may be a light emitting diode (LED) module or a projection module.

[0060] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The support module 24 shown is a schematic diagram of the structure of the seal 23. The support module 24 includes a base 241, a support portion 242 and an adjustment portion 243. The base 241 is used to be installed on the outside of the housing 21, and the base 241 is used to be detachably connected to the housing 21. The support portion 242 is used to be located inside the housing 21, and the support portion 242 is connected to the base 241. The adjustment portion 243 is located inside the housing 21, one side of the adjustment portion 243 is connected to the support portion 242, and the other side of the adjustment portion 243 is used to be connected to the lamp module 25, and the adjustment portion 243 is used to adjust the angle of the light emitting surface of the lamp module 25.

[0061] Vehicle lights usually have cut-off line design requirements. The cut-off line is designed to ensure that the driver has a clear view at night or in low-light conditions, while reducing interference and glare to other road users.

[0062] The area above the cut-off line is basically required to be as dark as possible, because the eyes of oncoming drivers and pedestrians are located in this area. To avoid traffic accidents caused by glare, the light in this area is as dark as possible. The part below the horizontal line of the cut-off line is required to have a certain brightness, but not too bright. The principle is also to avoid glare caused by reflections from the road surface to the oncoming drivers and pedestrians.

[0063] If the headlight module shakes, the light from the headlight module shakes, causing the cut-off line to shake, which may cause the oncoming driver or pedestrian to be dazzled, thereby increasing the risk of traffic accidents. In particular, when the cut-off line shakes upward, the eyes of the oncoming driver may be stimulated by strong light, causing temporary blindness or blurred vision. The shaking of the cut-off line may also interfere with the driver's vision, making it difficult for him to accurately judge the situation on the road ahead. This may cause the driver to miss important traffic signs, pedestrians or other obstacles, thereby causing traffic accidents.

[0064] In this embodiment, the change of the cut-off line during the experiment is related to two major factors: the strength of the entire support module 24 and the deformation of the support module 24. The material of the support module 24 may include a metal material. The metal can provide the structural strength of the support module 24.

[0065] Currently, the housing of a car lamp is generally made of thermoplastic materials. Under extreme temperature conditions, the housing will deform to a certain extent due to the thermal expansion and contraction effect.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the support module 24 is connected to the housing 21 only through the base 241, and the other structural parts of the support module 24 except the base 241 are not in contact with the housing 21, so that the headlight module 25 connected to the adjustment part 243 is not affected by the structural thermal expansion and contraction of the housing 21. Decoupling the structural movement of the support part 242, the adjustment part 243 and the headlight module 25 from the housing 21 can prevent the deformation of the housing 21 from affecting the relative position of the headlight module 25 and the body 10 of the vehicle 100, so that the headlight module 25 can emit light more stably, so that the light cutoff line of the headlight 20 can be more stable. The stable light cutoff line can ensure that the driver has a clear and stable field of vision at night or in a dark environment, and can promptly discover the traffic conditions ahead, thereby avoiding the occurrence of traffic accidents.

[0067] Since the base 241 of the present application is located outside the shell 21, and the support part 242 and the adjustment part 243 are located inside the shell 21, when the headlight module 25 is damaged, it is only necessary to remove the base 241 from the outside of the shell 21, and then take out the support part 242, the adjustment part 243 and the headlight module 25 from the inside of the shell 21, so that the headlight module 25 can be replaced or disassembled for repair. There is no need to replace the entire headlight 20. Therefore, the support module 24 provided in the embodiment of the present application can reduce the maintenance cost of the headlight 20, so that the owner can replace or repair the headlight 20 in time, ensure that the lighting function of the vehicle 100 is complete, and make the driving process of the vehicle 100 safer.

[0068] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The base 241 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the base 241. The base 241 may include a bottom plate 2411, a connecting portion 2412 and an abutting portion 2413. The connecting portion 2412 is connected to the middle portion of the bottom plate 2411, and the abutting portion 2413 is connected to the bottom plate 2411 and is arranged around the connecting portion 2412.

[0069] Specifically, a connection hole 2414 is provided at the top corner of the edge of the bottom plate 2411. The edge of the bottom plate 2411 is fixed to the housing 21 by screws passing through the connection hole 2414. The edge of the bottom plate 2411 is detachably connected to the housing 21.

[0070] The connection part 2412 may be four positioning posts 2415 connected to the middle part of the bottom plate 2411 , and the four positioning posts 2415 may have connection holes on one side away from the bottom plate 2411 . The side of the connection part 2412 away from the bottom plate 2411 is connected to the support part 242 .

[0071] The abutment portion 2413 may be an annular protrusion, and the abutment portion 2413 is arranged around the outer periphery of the four positioning posts 2415. The abutment portion 2413 is spaced apart from the positioning posts 2415. The abutment portion 2413 is spaced apart from the peripheral side surface of the bottom plate 2411. The abutment portion 2413 is located between the connection hole 2414 of the bottom plate 2411 and the positioning posts 2415. Exemplarily, the abutment portion 2413, the connection portion 2412 and the bottom plate 2411 may be integrally formed.

[0072] The bottom plate 2411 is located outside the housing 21 , and an edge portion of the bottom plate 2411 is detachably connected to a periphery of the mounting hole 212 of the housing 21 .

[0073] For some possible implementations, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The vehicle lamp 20 further includes a sealing member 23. The housing 21 further includes a sealing groove 214. The sealing groove 214 is arranged around the periphery of the mounting hole 212. The sealing groove 214 is recessed from the outer surface of the housing 21. The sealing member 23 is connected to the sealing groove 214. At least part of the abutting portion 2413 is connected to the sealing groove 214 and abuts against the sealing member 23.

[0074] In this embodiment, the sealing performance of the headlight 20 is good, which can prevent moisture from entering the housing 21 and prevent the headlight module 25 from short-circuiting due to contact with water. After moisture enters the interior of the headlight 20, it may also form mist or water droplets, which will scatter and refract the light and reduce the lighting effect. Good sealing performance can avoid this situation from happening, thereby improving the lighting effect. If dust and impurities enter the interior of the headlight 20, it may damage the surface of the headlight module 25, shorten the service life, and may also affect the function of the reflector, causing the brightness of the headlight 20 to decrease or even not light up. The headlight 20 with good sealing performance can effectively prevent the invasion of dust and impurities and increase the service life of the headlight 20.

[0075] The supporting portion 242 is located in the receiving space 211 of the housing 21 and is connected to the base 241 .

[0076] Specifically, see Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 4A structural schematic diagram of the support portion 242 shown. The support portion 242 includes a first connecting plate 2421 and a second connecting plate 2422, and the middle portion of the first connecting plate 2421 is connected to the base 241. Exemplarily, the first connecting plate 2421 may be provided with four connecting holes (not shown). The four connecting holes of the first connecting plate 2421 may be installed corresponding to the four positioning columns 2415 of the bottom plate 2411. The first connecting plate 2421 and the bottom plate 2411 may be fixed by screws. The screws may pass through the connecting holes of the first connecting plate 2421 and be connected to the hole walls of the connecting holes of the positioning columns 2415 of the bottom plate 2411.

[0077] The second connecting plate 2422 includes a first edge 2422a and a second edge 2422b disposed opposite to each other along a first direction, and a third edge 2422c and a fourth edge 2422d disposed opposite to each other along a second direction. The first direction may be a width direction of the second connecting plate 2422, and the second direction may be a length direction of the second connecting plate 2422. The first direction may be perpendicular to the second direction.

[0078] The second connecting plate 2422 defines a light-transmitting opening 2423 , a first hole 2424 , a second hole 2425 and a third hole 2426 .

[0079] The light-transmitting opening 2423 is located in the middle portion of the second connecting plate 2422. The light-transmitting opening 2423 penetrates the second connecting plate 2422 along the thickness direction of the second connecting plate 2422. The light-transmitting opening 2423 may penetrate the fourth edge 2422d of the second connecting plate 2422.

[0080] The first hole 2424 and the second hole 2425 are located between the light-transmitting opening 2423 and the second edge 2422b. The first hole 2424 and the second hole 2425 are spaced apart in the second direction. The third hole 2426 is located between the light-transmitting opening 2423 and the first edge 2422a. The second hole 2425 and the first hole 2424 are spaced apart in the first direction.

[0081] The third edge 2422c of the second connecting plate 2422 is connected to the first connecting plate 2421. The second connecting plate 2422 and the first connecting plate 2421 are bent. Exemplarily, the second connecting plate 2422 and the first connecting plate 2421 can be vertically arranged. The light-transmitting opening 2423 is used to avoid the vehicle light module 25.

[0082] For a possible implementation, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 4Another structural schematic diagram of the support portion 242 is shown. The support portion 242 further includes a reinforcing plate 2427 , and the reinforcing plate 2427 includes a first side 2428 and a second side 2429 disposed opposite to each other, the first side 2428 is connected to the first connecting plate 2421 , and the second side 2429 is connected to the second connecting plate 2422 .

[0083] In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate 2427 can enhance the connection stability between the first connecting plate 2421 and the second connecting plate 2422 , so that the angle between the first connecting plate 2421 and the second connecting plate 2422 is stable.

[0084] The adjusting portion 243 is located inside the housing 21. One side of the adjusting portion 243 is connected to the second connecting plate 2422, and the other side of the adjusting portion 243 is used to connect to the vehicle light module 25. The adjusting portion 243 is used to adjust the angle of the optical axis of the vehicle light module 25.

[0085] Specifically, see Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the adjustment part 243 shown in FIG. The adjustment part 243 includes a fixing frame 2431, a connecting rod 2432, a first telescopic rod 2433, a second telescopic rod 2434 and a motor 2435. The fixing frame 2431 can be fixedly connected to the light module 25. The connecting rod 2432, the first telescopic rod 2433 and the second telescopic rod 2434 can connect the fixing frame 2431 to the second connecting plate 2422. The motor 2435 can drive the first telescopic rod 2433 and / or the second telescopic rod 2434 to extend or contract, so as to change the relative position relationship between the fixing frame 2431 and the second connecting plate 2422, thereby changing the angle of the optical axis of the light module 25.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 yes Figure 8 The exploded schematic diagram of the adjusting portion 243 is shown. The fixing frame 2431 includes a first sub-frame 2437 and a second sub-frame 2438. The first sub-frame 2437 is connected to the vehicle light module 25. The second sub-frame 2438 is connected to the connecting rod 2432, the first telescopic rod 2433 and the motor 2435. The first sub-frame 2437 and the second sub-frame 2438 are detachably connected, so as to fix the vehicle light module 25 on the supporting module 24.

[0087] Specifically, the first sub-frame 2437 is provided with a mounting opening 2437a. The mounting opening 2437a penetrates the first sub-frame 2437 along the thickness direction of the first sub-frame 2437. The first sub-frame 2437 can be a U-shaped bracket or a rectangular frame. The top corner position of the first sub-frame 2437 is connected to the vehicle light module 25 by screw locking. The two opposite sides of the first sub-frame 2437 along the first direction are used for fixed connection with the second sub-frame 2438.

[0088] The second subframe 2438 includes a first portion 2438a and a second portion 2438b. The first portion 2438a and the second portion 2438b can be separately provided. The first portion 2438a is provided with a first connection hole 2438c and a second connection hole 2438d. The first connection hole 2438c and the second connection hole 2438d are spaced apart. The second portion 2438b is provided with a third connection hole 2438e.

[0089] The first portion 2438a and the second portion 2438b are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the first subframe 2437 along the first direction. The first connection hole 2438c and the second connection hole 2438d of the first portion 2438a are spaced apart in the second direction. The third connection hole 2438e of the second portion 2438b is spaced apart from the first connection hole 2438c of the first portion 2438a in the first direction and is located at two opposite sides of the lamp module 25 along the first direction.

[0090] In this embodiment, since the light module 25 can be installed in the installation opening 2437a of the first sub-frame 2437, at least a portion of the first sub-frame 2437 is arranged around the light module 25, and the first sub-frame 2437 can be fixedly connected to multiple positions on the periphery of the light module 25, thereby improving the installation stability of the fixing frame 2431 and the light module 25, and preventing the light module 25 from moving relative to the support module 24 when the vehicle 100 vibrates, thereby preventing the lighting area of ​​the vehicle 100 from shaking.

[0091] Since the second sub-frame 2438 is detachably connected to the first sub-frame 2437, when the headlight module 25 fails to work properly, the headlight module 25 can be replaced by only disassembling and separating the first sub-frame 2437 and the second sub-frame 2438, and the headlight module 25 and the first sub-frame 2437 can be disassembled and replaced without disassembling the connecting piece and the connection position between the first telescopic rod 2433 and the second sub-frame 2438. The support module 24 provided in the present application can simplify the disassembly and assembly process of the headlight module 25, reduce the maintenance cost of the headlight 20, and enable the headlight module 25 to be stably connected to the housing 21.

[0092] One end of the connecting rod 2432 is connected to the second connecting plate 2422 and passes through the first hole 2424 of the second connecting plate 2422. The other end of the connecting rod 2432 is connected to the hole wall of the first connecting hole 2438c. Exemplarily, the connecting rod 2432 can also be a telescopic rod. The connecting rod 2432 can change its length to change the distance between the first connecting hole 2438c and the second connecting plate 2422.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the connecting rod 2432 and the first telescopic rod 2433 and the second telescopic rod 2434 are extended or contracted at the same time, the vehicle light module 25 can be translated, so that it is applicable to more usage scenarios.

[0094] One end of the first telescopic rod 2433 is connected to the second connecting plate 2422, and the other end is connected to the hole wall of the second connecting hole 2438d. Exemplarily, one end of the first telescopic rod 2433 can be connected to the second connecting plate 2422 through a motor 2435. The motor 2435 can be fixed on the second connecting plate 2422. One end of the first telescopic rod 2433 passes through the second connecting hole 2438d and is connected to the second connecting plate 2422. The other end of the first telescopic rod 2433 is in the shape of a ball head. The ball head can be connected to the first connecting hole 2438c, and the ball head can rotate in the first connecting hole 2438c.

[0095] In this embodiment, the motor 2435 can automatically extend and retract the first telescopic rod 2433 under the control of the controller of the vehicle 100, so that the light module 25 can automatically change its angle under the control of the controller.

[0096] The first telescopic rod 2433 is spaced apart from the connecting rod 2432. The first telescopic rod 2433 is used to change its length to change the distance between the second connecting hole 2438d and the second connecting plate 2422, thereby changing the relative angle between the optical axis of the lamp module 25 and the plane where the second connecting plate 2422 is located.

[0097] Specifically, when the length of the connecting rod 2432 remains unchanged and the length of the first telescopic rod 2433 is extended, the optical axis can be swung along the second direction.

[0098] In this embodiment, the adjustment part 243 can adjust the angle of the optical axis of the headlight module 25 by extending and retracting the first telescopic rod 2433, thereby changing the illuminated area of ​​the headlight module. The present application does not need to use an overly long kinematic chain to adjust the angle of the optical axis of the headlight module 25, and avoids deviation or uneven movement of the longer kinematic chain during power transmission, so that the adjustment process of the angle of the optical axis of the headlight module 25 is more reliable.

[0099] In other embodiments, the ball head of the first telescopic rod 2433 and the hole wall of the second connecting hole 2438d can be connected through a ball socket. The ball socket can be sleeved on the ball head of the first telescopic rod 2433. And the ball socket can be clamped with the hole wall of the second connecting hole 2438d. The ball head of the first telescopic rod 2433 can rotate in the ball socket, so that the movement process between the first telescopic rod 2433 and the fixing frame 2431 is smoother.

[0100] One end of the second telescopic rod 2434 is connected to the second connecting plate 2422, and the other end is connected to the hole wall of the third connecting hole 2438e. Exemplarily, the second telescopic rod 2434 can also be connected to the second connecting plate 2422 through a motor 2435. The second telescopic rod 2434 provided in the embodiment of the present application, and the connection method of the second telescopic rod 2434 and the second connecting plate 2422 can refer to the above description of the connection method of the first telescopic rod 2433 and the first telescopic rod 2433 and the second connecting plate 2422. The present application does not repeat the specific structure and connection method of the second telescopic rod 2434.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the first telescopic rod 2433 is extended or contracted, the light module 25 can swing in the second direction with the first connection hole 2438c as the origin. When the second telescopic rod 2434 is extended or contracted, the light module 25 can swing in the first direction with the first connection hole 2438c as the origin. The angles between the optical axis of the light module 25 and the first direction and the second direction can be adjusted, so that the lighting area of ​​the light module 25 can be adjusted more flexibly.

[0102] Since the support module 24 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a smaller structure and does not need to occupy too much space in the shell 21, and the support part 242 and the adjustment part 243 in the support module 24 are not in contact with the shell 21, the deformation of the shell 21 under extreme temperatures will not affect the structure of the support module 24, thereby avoiding the position stability of the headlight module 25 connected to the support module 24 from being affected, avoiding the headlight module 25 from shaking, and ensuring the stability of the light and dark cut-off line of the headlight 20.

[0103] Exemplarily, each structural member of the support module 24 can be made of metal. Since the support module 24 is less coupled with the housing 21 and has a stable structure, the vibration test and the cut-off line test of the entire headlight 20 are easy to pass. After the headlight 20 has passed the vibration test, the displacement of the inflection point of the cut-off line is not likely to exceed the specified range. When the headlight 20 undergoes a high and low temperature cycle (-40°C to 80°C) in the incubator, during the entire temperature change period, the displacement of the inflection point of the cut-off line on the wall in the horizontal and vertical directions is not likely to exceed the specified range.

[0104] The above are exemplary embodiments of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present application.
