[0031] Refer to the following Figures 1 - 4 Describe a lens assembly 10 for a vehicle headlamp according to an embodiment of the present application. The lens assembly 10 includes a housing 11, a bracket 12, and a light homogenizing component 13. The housing 11 is connected to the lamp body of the vehicle headlamp, and an accommodating cavity 1121 is formed in the housing 11. A light-emitting component 113 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 1121. The bracket 12 is connected to the housing 11 and is adapted to enclose part of the accommodating cavity 1121. A light-transmitting hole 121 is formed on the bracket 12 and is disposed opposite to the light-emitting component 113. The light homogenizing component 13 is disposed on the bracket 12 and can be selectively moved in a direction close to or away from the light-transmitting hole 121 to switch between a first mode and a second mode; wherein in the first mode, the light homogenizing component 13, the light-transmitting hole 121, and the light-emitting component 113 are disposed opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the bracket 12; in the second mode, the light homogenizing component 13 is located on the bracket 12 and is adapted to avoid the light-transmitting hole 121.

[0032] Currently, the daytime running lights of vehicles play a very crucial role in the vehicle safety system. The daytime running lights can improve the recognition of motor vehicles during driving, effectively reduce vehicle accidents, and ensure traffic safety. However, motor vehicles equipped with daytime running lights will inevitably increase problems such as high power and high cost caused by the activation of the daytime running lights.

[0033] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, specifically, the lens assembly 10 may include a housing 11 and a bracket 12. The housing 11 may be connected to the lamp body of the vehicle headlamp. Optionally, a detachable connection may be formed between the housing 11 and the lamp body by snap connection or plug connection. An accommodation cavity 1121 may be formed in the housing 11. The accommodation cavity 1121 may be open towards the driving direction of the vehicle, and a light-emitting component 113 may be disposed in the accommodation cavity 1121. It can be understood that the light-emitting component 113 may be the high beam lamp of the vehicle. The bracket 12 can be connected to the housing 11. Optionally, a detachable connection may be formed between the bracket 12 and the housing 11 by screws or bolts, or a detachable connection may be formed between the bracket 12 and the housing 11 by snap connection or plug connection.

[0034] The bracket 12 may be disposed at the open mouth of the accommodation cavity 1121, and the bracket 12 can enclose a part of the accommodation cavity 1121. A light-transmitting hole 121 may be formed in the bracket 12. The light-transmitting hole 121 can be disposed opposite to the light-emitting component 113. The light emitted by the light-emitting component 113 can be irradiated to the outside through the light-transmitting hole 121. The lens assembly 10 may further include a light homogenizing component 13. The light homogenizing component 13 may be disposed on the bracket 12, and the light homogenizing component 13 can optionally move towards or away from the light-transmitting hole 121, so as to realize the switching of the lens assembly 10 between the first mode and the second mode. It should be noted that the light homogenizing component 13 can function to change the irradiation angle and light intensity of the light, and realize the switching between two kinds of lights by moving the position of the light homogenizing component 13. Therefore, the light homogenizing component 13 is configured as a light-transmitting component, and the bracket 12 is configured as a non-light-transmitting component.

[0035] Further, in the first mode, the light homogenizing component 13, the light-transmitting hole 121, and the light-emitting component 113 may be disposed opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the bracket 12. In this mode, the light emitted by the light-emitting component 113 is irradiated to the light homogenizing component 13 through the light-transmitting hole 121. The light homogenizing component 13 makes the light present the effect of a daytime running lamp by changing the light intensity and irradiation angle of the light. Therefore, in the first mode, the lens assembly 10 can realize the function of a daytime running lamp. In the second mode, the light homogenizing component 13 may be located on the bracket 12, and the light homogenizing component 13 can avoid the light-transmitting hole 121. It can be understood that in this mode, the light homogenizing component 13 does not block the light-transmitting hole 121, that is, the light is not irradiated to the light homogenizing component 13, and the light emitted by the light-emitting component 113 is directly irradiated to the outside through the light-transmitting hole 121. At this time, the lens assembly 10 can realize the function of a high beam lamp. However, it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the light-emitting component 113 may also be set as a low beam lamp under the condition of meeting the lighting conditions.

[0036] Briefly, the lens assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a light homogenizing member 13. The light homogenizing member 13 can move towards or away from the light-transmitting hole 121 to achieve the switching between two modes. In one mode, light irradiates on the light homogenizing member 13 to realize the function of the daytime running light. In another mode, the light does not pass through the light homogenizing member 13 and directly irradiates to the outside to realize the function of the high beam lamp. Therefore, the lens assembly 10 can simultaneously realize the functions of the high beam lamp and the daytime running light, eliminating the existing daytime running light structure and reducing the cost and power consumption.

The baffle 14 can optionally rotate on the surface of the bracket 12 with the mounting portion as the axis. During the rotation of the baffle 14, the baffle 14 can drive the light homogenizing member 13 to move, so that the light homogenizing member 13 can move towards or away from the light-transmitting hole 121. A plurality of weight-reducing holes may be formed on the baffle 14 to reduce the weight of the baffle 14. The driving member 15 may be disposed on the bracket 12, and the driving member 15 may have a driving end 151. The driving end 151 can be in contact with the baffle 14, and the driving end 151 can be used to drive the baffle 14 to rotate. In a specific embodiment, the driving member 15 may be configured as a motor.

The second sliding portion can be slidably connected to the first sliding portion, and a mounting surface may be formed on the second sliding portion. The mounting surface can be used to mount the light homogenizing member 13. Optionally, the light homogenizing member 13 and the baffle 14 may be fixed by bonding. The second sliding portion can selectively move relative to the first sliding portion. During the movement of the second sliding portion, the second sliding portion can drive the light homogenizing member 13 to move synchronously, so that the light homogenizing member 13 can move towards or away from the light-transmitting hole 121. The driving member 15 may be disposed on the bracket 12, and the driving member 15 may have a driving end 151. The driving end 151 can be power-connected to the second sliding portion, and the driving end 151 can be used to drive the baffle 14 to rotate. In a specific embodiment, the driving member 15 may be configured as a motor.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the first sliding part is configured as one of a slider and a slide rail, and the second sliding part is configured as the other of the slider and the slide rail. In a specific embodiment, the first sliding part can be configured as a slide rail, and the second sliding part can be configured as a slider. The slider can be slidably engaged with the slide rail to ensure that the slider can move along the extending direction of the slide rail, making the movement of the slider more stable, thereby effectively realizing the switching between the first mode and the second mode of the lens assembly 10.

[0041] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the housing 11 may include a lamp socket 111 and a reflector 112.

A light-emitting element 113 may be provided on the lamp socket 111. The reflector 112 can be connected to the lamp socket 111, and a receiving cavity 1121 may be formed on the reflector 112. The side of the reflector 112 facing away from the lamp socket 111 can be connected to the bracket 12. The reflector 112 can play a role in concentrating light and enhancing light. Optionally, the reflector 112 and the bracket 12 can be detachably connected by bolts or screws.

[0042] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, an extension part 1122 may be formed on the reflector 112. The extension part 1122 can be disposed in abutting contact with the bracket 12, and a first mounting hole may be formed on the extension part 1122. A second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole may be formed on the bracket 12. The lens assembly 10 may further include a fastener 101.
