[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0044] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0045] The height adjustment of automobile lamps is an important function of automobile headlights. At present, the car cab has a structure for adjusting the height of the low beam of the lamp. Specifically, a dimming motor is arranged inside the lamp, and the dimming motor is connected to the lens bracket through a ball head socket.

[0046] At present, the ball head of the ball head holder is hinged to the dimming motor, and the ball head holder is assembled in the mounting hole of the lens bracket. The assembly of the ball head holder and the mounting hole requires clamping by tooling. The clamping force generally requires 200N, and a larger clamping support plane is required, which makes assembly difficult. Disassembly and assembly are inconvenient, and the ball head holder structure is easily damaged during disassembly.

[0047] Based on this, the present application discloses a ball head socket, which is connected to the lens holder by limiting the position of the ball head socket and the lens holder, and the ball head socket and the lens holder can be connected by rotating the ball head socket during the connection process with the lens holder. The connection method is simple and easy to operate, which reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0048] Specific as Figures 1 to 6 The ball head holder 100 shown includes a mounting end 1 , a ball head end 2 and a connecting plate 3 .

[0049] Among them, the assembly end 1 is used to be inserted into the mounting hole of the lens bracket, and the outer side of the assembly end 1 has a limiting rib 12; the ball head end 2 is a ball head structure, which is used to be hinged with the dimming motor; the connecting plate 3 connects the assembly end 1 and the ball head end 2, and the connecting plate 3 and the limiting rib 12 are used to limit the edges at both ends of the axial direction of the mounting hole.

[0050] Combination Figures 7 to 12As shown, the assembly end 1 can be inserted into the mounting hole 201 of the lens holder 200. After the assembly end 1 rotates in the mounting hole 201, the limiting rib 12 can abut against one side of the lens holder 200, and the connecting plate 3 abuts against the other side of the lens holder, thereby realizing the installation of the ball head socket 100 and the lens holder 200.

[0051] The ball head socket 100 in the present application increases an assembly end 1 and a connecting plate 3, and sets a limiting rib 12 on the outer side of the assembly end 1. During the connection process between the ball head socket 100 and the lens bracket 200, the limiting rib 12 and the connecting plate 3 can be used to abut against each other on both sides of the lens bracket 200 by rotating the ball head socket 100, thereby realizing the installation of the ball head socket 100 and the lens bracket 200. This connection method is simple, easy to operate, and reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0052] The assembly end 1 in the present application is a hollow structure, and the depth of the assembly end 1 for inserting an adjustment tool (e.g., a screwdriver) can be set according to different needs. The bottom of the groove inside the assembly end 1 has a cross groove 13 or a slot, and / or the cross section of the inner wall of the assembly end 1 is a hexagon.

[0053] The shape and size of the interior of the assembly end 1 can be set according to the shape and size of the adjustment tool. In this application, the adjustment tool is exemplarily a screwdriver, and the cross section of the inner wall of the assembly end 1 is set to be hexagonal. The fit between the screwdriver and the inner wall of the assembly end 1 can be used to facilitate the operator to drive the ball head holder 100 to rotate; when the screwdriver is a cross-grain screwdriver, the screwdriver can be pressed against the cross groove 13 at the inner bottom of the assembly end 1 to rotate the ball head holder 100. Of course, the screwdriver can also be a straight-grain screwdriver, and the corresponding inner bottom of the assembly end 1 is a straight-grain groove.

[0054] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the manner in which the assembly end 1 cooperates with the adjustment tool includes but is not limited to the manner disclosed in the above embodiments, and any manner that allows the operator to rotate the assembly end 1 by means of the adjustment tool is within the protection scope.

[0055] In some embodiments, an elastic buckle 11 is provided between adjacent limiting ribs 12 of the assembly end 1 and is inclined toward the outer surface away from the assembly end 1. By providing the elastic buckle 11, the ball head holder 100 can be squeezed during the process of inserting the mounting hole 201 of the lens holder 200. After the ball head holder 100 is installed in place, the elastic buckle 11 is released from the squeezing of the mounting hole 201 and reset, and can abut against the end surface of the ball head holder 100, so as to prevent the ball head holder 100 from being separated from the lens holder 200 in the reverse direction of the installation direction of the ball head holder 100.

[0056] It should be noted that the specific shape and size of the elastic buckle 11 can be set according to different needs and are all within the protection range.

[0057] There are at least two limiting ribs 12 in the present application, and they are symmetrically arranged about the assembly end 1. By increasing the number of limiting ribs 12, the contact area between the assembly end 1 and the lens holder 200 can be increased, and the stability of the connection can be improved. In some embodiments, the limiting ribs 12 are evenly arranged, so that during the rotation of the assembly end 1, the forces applied to each limiting rib 12 are basically the same, which is beneficial to avoid the problem of jamming during the rotation of the assembly end 1.

[0058] In some embodiments, there are at least two elastic buckles 11, which are symmetrically arranged about the assembly end 1. Optionally, the elastic buckles 11 are evenly distributed. By increasing the number of elastic buckles 11, the assembly end 1 can be prevented from tilting after being assembled with the lens holder 200.

[0059] The number of the limiting ribs 12 and the elastic buckles 11 can be set according to different needs. For example, there are two limiting ribs 12 and two elastic buckles 11, and the direction of the connecting line of the two elastic buckles 11 is perpendicular to the direction of the connecting line of the two limiting ribs 12.

[0060] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the assembly end 1 has a through hole (not shown in the figure), and the elastic buckle 11 is arranged at the through hole. By providing the through hole, the material used for the assembly end 1 can be reduced, the cost can be reduced, and space can be provided for the movement of the elastic buckle 11, so as to facilitate the elastic movement of the elastic buckle 11.

[0061] In some embodiments, the assembly end 1, the connection plate 3 and the ball end 2 are integrally formed. The ball head holder 100 is an integrally formed structure, which ensures the connection strength and structural stability of the ball head holder 100. Of course, the assembly end 1, the connection plate 3 and the ball end 2 can also be welded or bonded.

[0062] The ball head end 2 in the present application includes: a first hemisphere 21 and a second hemisphere 22 .

[0063] The openings of the first hemisphere 21 and the second hemisphere 22 are opposite to each other and are used to clamp the dimming motor. In the present application, two hemispheres are used to form a spherical storage space to facilitate connection and disassembly with the structure of the dimming motor. In some embodiments, an elastic clamp 23 is provided between the first hemisphere 21 and the second hemisphere 22, and the elastic clamp 23 can clamp the dimming motor when the dimming motor is assembled.

[0064] It should be noted that the structure of the ball head end 2 can refer to the existing ball head structure.

[0065] Combination Figures 7 to 12As shown, the present application also discloses a vehicle lamp, including a lens bracket 200, a ball head socket and a dimming motor (not shown in the figure), wherein the ball head socket is the ball head socket 100 disclosed in the above embodiment. Therefore, the vehicle lamp with the ball head socket also has all the above technical effects, which will not be described one by one here.

[0066] Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting hole 201 of the lens holder 200 is a rectangular hole, and the limiting rib 12 can pass through the mounting hole 201; the surface of the lens holder 200 away from the dimming motor has a receiving groove 202, the receiving groove 202 is arranged to intersect with the rectangular hole, and the limiting rib 12 can be limited in the receiving groove 202 along the axial direction of the mounting hole 201 after rotation.

[0067] During the assembly process of the ball head holder 100, the assembly end 1 and the limiting rib 12 of the ball head holder 100 are aligned with the mounting hole 201, and the assembly end 1 and the limiting rib 12 are inserted from the dimming motor to the direction of the lens bracket 200. When the elastic buckle 11 of the assembly end 1 pops out, the assembly end 1 is rotated with a screwdriver until the limiting rib 12 enters the receiving groove 202, thereby utilizing the contact between the limiting rib 12 and the receiving groove 202, and the contact between the connecting plate 3 and the side of the lens bracket 200 close to the dimming motor to achieve the clamping connection between the ball head holder 100 and the lens bracket 200. During the disassembly process of the ball head holder 100, the ball head holder 100 can be rotated in the opposite direction so that the limiting rib 12 is opposite to the mounting hole 201 to release the limiting rib 12, so that the limiting rib 12 and the assembly end 1 can move along the mounting hole 201, thereby completing the separation of the ball head holder 100 and the lens bracket 200.

[0068] Combined with the above description, it can be seen that the ball head holder 100 in the present application is connected to the lens holder 200 by rotating during the installation process, the assembly method is simple, the operation difficulty is small, and the ball head holder 100 is stable after being connected; and the disassembly process is convenient, and the ball head holder 100 is not easily damaged during disassembly. In addition, the ball head holder 100 in the present application does not require the use of tooling during the disassembly and assembly process, so there is no need to have a large compression support plane installation plane, which reduces the installation requirements of the ball head holder 100.

[0069] In addition, the present application also discloses a vehicle, including the headlight disclosed in the above embodiment. Therefore, the vehicle with the headlight also has all the above technical effects, which will not be described one by one here.

[0070] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0071] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
