[0030] The core of the present application is to provide an adjustment component for an optical module to improve the convenience of installing the adjustment component.

[0031] Another core of the present application is to provide a vehicle lamp having the above-mentioned adjustment component.

[0032] Another core of the present application is to provide a vehicle having the above-mentioned vehicle lamp.

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] Automobile headlights are generally equipped with a dimming system, which generally adjusts the position of the optical module through an adjustment component to improve the lighting effect. The adjustment component usually includes a dimming bracket, a connecting buckle, and an adjustment bracket. A through-hole structure is provided on the dimming bracket, the connecting buckle has a ball-and-socket structure and a rebound structure provided on both sides of the ball-and-socket structure, and the adjustment bracket has a ball head structure. During assembly, the ball head structure of the adjustment bracket is wrapped in the ball-and-socket structure of the connecting buckle through a press-fitting device, and then the adjustment bracket is pressed by strong pressure, so that the connecting buckle and the adjustment bracket are together covered in the through-hole structure of the dimming bracket. At this time, the rebound structure of the connecting buckle opens, thereby preventing the connecting buckle from escaping from the dimming bracket.

[0035] As can be seen from the above examples, the traditional installation process of the adjustment assembly is relatively complicated, and there are many installation parts, which is costly. At the same time, it is laborious to assemble and press-fit, resulting in poor installation convenience of the adjustment assembly.

[0036] For this reason, Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses an adjustment component for an optical module, including a dimming bracket 100 and an adjustment bracket 200. By connecting the adjustment bracket 200 with the dimming bracket 100 in a concave-convex matching manner, the connection buckle is omitted, the installation process is simplified, the number of installation parts is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the convenience of installing the adjustment component is improved.

[0037] The following will be combined Figures 1 to 4 The adjustment component for the optical module disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is specifically explained and illustrated.

[0038] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the dimming bracket 100 can be used to install the optical module, and the adjustment bracket 200 is connected to one side of the dimming bracket 100 through a concave-convex fit, and at the same time, there is an activity space 2011 at the connection position between the adjustment bracket 200 and the dimming bracket 100, so that the adjustment bracket 200 can drive the dimming bracket 100 to rotate around the other side of the dimming bracket 100. The adjustment bracket 200 is directly connected to one side of the dimming bracket 100 through a concave-convex fit, and while the adjustment bracket 200 drives the dimming bracket 100 to rotate, the connection buckle is omitted, the installation process is simplified, and the number of installation parts is reduced, thereby improving the convenience of installing the adjustment component and reducing the cost.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 4As shown, a spherical piece 101 is provided on one side of the dimming bracket 100, and the adjustment bracket 200 is provided with a sleeve 201 that cooperates with the spherical piece 101, and an activity space 2011 is formed in the sleeve 201, so that when the adjustment bracket 200 drives the dimming bracket 100 to rotate, the spherical piece 101 can move in the activity space 2011, thereby ensuring the stability of the adjustment bracket 200 when driving the dimming bracket 100 to rotate, and at the same time, the stress deformation of the spherical piece 101 can be reduced, and the service life of the adjustment component can be improved. For the convenience of understanding, the two sides of the dimming bracket 100 are defined as the first side and the second side, respectively, and the first side and the second side of the dimming bracket 100 are arranged oppositely. The spherical piece 101 is arranged on the first side of the dimming bracket 100, and the spherical piece 101 can cooperate with the sleeve 201 on the adjustment bracket 200, so that the adjustment bracket 200 can drive the dimming bracket 100 to rotate around the second side to adjust the position of the dimming bracket 100, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the optical module and improving the lighting effect. During installation, it is only necessary to slide the spherical part 101 of the dimming bracket 100 into the sleeve 201 on the adjustment bracket 200, which is more labor-saving and convenient than the traditional method of strong pressure through press-fitting equipment. Among them, the second side of the dimming bracket 100 can be hinged on a fixed position to enable the dimming bracket 100 to rotate around the second side, and the fixed position can be a fixture such as a lamp housing. It should be noted that the connection method of the second side of the dimming bracket 100 is similar to the traditional connection method, and will not be repeated in this article.

[0040] In the above embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the sleeve 201 can be extended by a preset distance in the axial direction to form an active space 2011, and the spherical member 101 can move in the active space 2011 along the axial direction of the sleeve 201, thereby releasing the lateral displacement component of the adjustment component during the adjustment process and reducing the stress deformation of the spherical member 101. The extended length of the sleeve 201 can be determined according to the actual requirements of the dimming envelope, but the extended length of the sleeve 201 should not be too short, and it is necessary to prevent the spherical member 101 from falling out of the sleeve 201.

[0041] In some embodiments, the material of the dimming bracket 100 can be made of PBT GF30 (PBT resin and 30% glass fiber) material to ensure the stability of the dimming bracket 100. The adjustment bracket 200 can be made of POM (polyoxymethylene) material to ensure that the adjustment bracket 200 has good mechanical properties and wear resistance, thereby improving the service life of the adjustment component. At the same time, the spherical piece 101 can be integrally injection molded with the dimming bracket 100, thereby improving the connection strength and stability of the spherical piece 101 and the dimming bracket 100. Of course, the adjustment bracket 200 and the sleeve 201 can also be integrally injection molded so that the adjustment bracket 200 and the sleeve 201 form a whole, thereby improving the strength of the connection position between the adjustment bracket 200 and the spherical piece 101, and the stability of the adjustment bracket 200 when driving the dimming bracket 100 to rotate.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the spherical member 101 may include a ball head 1011 and an extension rod 1012 connected to the ball head 1011, and the spherical member 101 is connected to the dimming bracket 100 through the extension rod 1012, so that the ball head 1011 of the spherical member 101 is away from the first side of the dimming bracket 100, thereby preventing the adjustment bracket 200 from interfering with each other when driving the dimming bracket 100 to rotate. At the same time, the inner diameter of the sleeve 201 is not greater than the diameter of the ball head 1011, so that the ball head 1011 can be equal in diameter or slightly interfered with the sleeve 201, thereby ensuring that the ball head 1011 can slide smoothly into the sleeve 201, and preventing the ball head 1011 from shaking in the sleeve 201, thereby ensuring the stability of the adjustment bracket 200 when driving the dimming bracket 100 to rotate.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the spherical member 101 can also be arranged on the adjustment bracket 200, and at the same time, an active cavity is opened on the first side of the dimming bracket 100, through which the spherical member 101 extends into the active cavity and can move along the axial direction of the active cavity, so that when the adjustment bracket 200 drives the dimming bracket 100 to rotate, the spherical member 101 can move in the active cavity, thereby ensuring the stability when the adjustment bracket 200 drives the dimming bracket 100 to rotate, and at the same time reducing the stress deformation of the spherical member 101 and improving the service life of the adjustment component.

[0044] In order to realize that the adjusting bracket 200 drives the dimming bracket 100 to rotate, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment bracket 200 includes a bracket body 202 and an adjustment mechanism 203. The bracket body 202 is connected to the dimming bracket 100, so that the adjustment mechanism 203 drives the bracket body 202 to move, thereby driving the dimming bracket 100 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the optical module.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 203 includes an adjustment screw 2031 and a threaded portion 2032 disposed on the frame 202, and the adjustment screw 2031 cooperates with the threaded portion 2032 to enable the frame 202 to move along the axial direction of the adjustment screw 2031. When the position of the optical module needs to be adjusted, the adjustment screw 2031 only needs to be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, and the frame 202 can be moved along the axial direction of the adjustment screw 2031 under the cooperation of the threaded portion 2032 and the adjustment screw 2031, so that the first side of the dimming bracket 100 can be pushed or pulled by the frame 202, so that the dimming bracket 100 can be rotated around the second side of the dimming bracket 100 to adjust the position of the optical module.

[0046] The adjustment component for the optical module provided in the present application is provided by installing the optical module on the dimming bracket 100, and the adjustment bracket 200 is connected to one side of the dimming bracket 100 through concave-convex fit, and the connection position between the adjustment bracket 200 and the dimming bracket 100 has an activity space 2011, so that the adjustment bracket 200 can drive the dimming bracket 100 to rotate around the other side of the dimming bracket 100. It can be seen from the above examples that the adjustment component for the optical module provided in the present application can directly connect the adjustment bracket 200 with the dimming bracket 100 through concave-convex fit, omitting the connection buckle, simplifying the installation process, reducing the number of installation parts, reducing costs, and improving the convenience of installing the adjustment component.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application also discloses a vehicle lamp, including a lamp housing, an optical module and an adjustment component. The adjustment component is the adjustment component for the optical module disclosed in the above embodiment, and therefore has all the technical effects of the above adjustment components, which will not be repeated herein.

[0048] In some embodiments, the adjustment bracket 200 of the adjustment assembly can be snapped into the interior of the lamp housing, so that the upper and lower sides of the adjustment bracket 200 can be limited by the lamp housing, ensuring that the adjustment bracket 200 only moves axially along the adjustment screw 2031, thereby improving the adjustment stability of the adjustment bracket 200.

[0049] The embodiment of the present application further discloses a vehicle, including a headlight. The headlight is the headlight disclosed in the above embodiment, and therefore has all the technical effects of the above-mentioned headlight, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0050] The terms "first" and "second" and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the above drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may include steps or units that are not listed.

[0051] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. 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 application. Therefore, the present application 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.
