[0028] This embodiment provides a bracket for a car spotlight, such as Figure 1-5As shown, it includes a car connection part 1, a ball joint adjustment part 2 and a spotlight connection part 3, one end of the ball joint adjustment part 2 is connected to the car connection part 1, and the other end of the ball joint adjustment part 2 is connected to the spotlight connection part 3. The technical solution of this embodiment cleverly solves the problem that the current bracket cannot adjust the spotlight angle by creatively designing a car spotlight bracket including a car connection part, a ball joint adjustment part and a spotlight connection part. Specifically, the car connection part serves as the foundation of the entire bracket and is firmly installed on the car, generally on the hood of the car to ensure the reliability and safety of the bracket. The ball joint adjustment part is the core innovation point, one end of which is tightly connected to the car connection part, and the other end is flexibly connected to the spotlight connection part, utilizing the multi-degree-of-freedom rotation characteristics of the ball joint to allow the user to freely adjust the angle of the spotlight in multiple directions. This design not only gives the spotlight a high degree of flexibility but also significantly expands its illumination range and adaptability. Adjusting the beam's pitch and horizontal direction can be easily accomplished, thus satisfying the need for controlling the light's direction under varying road conditions and driving demands. The spotlight connector is used to secure the spotlight itself. In summary, this solution, through the introduction of a ball joint adjustment unit, enables flexible adjustment of the spotlight's angle, effectively enhancing the performance and practicality of automotive spotlights.

[0029] Specifically, the ball joint adjustment unit 2 includes a ball joint 21 and a ball slot 22. The ball end of the ball joint 21 and the ball slot 22 are connected by a damped rotation connection. One end of the ball slot 22 is connected to the vehicle connection unit 1, and the rod end of the ball joint 21 is connected to the spotlight connection unit 3. The introduction of a damped rotation connection mechanism not only provides a smooth and continuous rotation adjustment experience compared to traditional joint adjustment methods with no damping or simple mechanical locking, but also locks after adjusting to the desired angle, preventing accidental changes in the spotlight angle due to vehicle vibration or bumps during driving. The damping coordination between the ball joint and the ball slot ensures the accuracy and stability of the spotlight angle adjustment, allowing users to easily find and fix the angle that best suits their current lighting needs.

[0030] Preferably, the vehicle connection portion 1 is a clamping structure. This allows the bracket to be directly and securely mounted in various locations on the vehicle, such as the hood, without drilling or welding, simplifying the installation process and reducing potential damage to the vehicle. This design not only improves installation convenience and flexibility, but also allows the bracket to be compatible with a wider range of vehicle models, meeting the personalized needs of different users. Preferably, the clamping structure can also be equipped with anti-slip and anti-vibration components to ensure that the bracket remains stable and prevents slippage in complex and changing driving environments.

[0031] Specifically, the vehicle connection portion 1 includes a trough 11, a clamping plate 12, and a clamping adjustment member 13. The clamping plate 12 is located within the trough 11, and one end of the clamping plate 12 is connected to the clamping adjustment member 13. The combination of the trough, the clamping plate, and the clamping adjustment member further enhances the applicability and usability of the bracket. The trough serves as the installation base, into which the part of the vehicle to be fixed is clamped. The trough provides sufficient space and strength to support the entire bracket structure. At the same time, its design allows the clamping plate to be moved and adjusted within a certain range within the trough. The clamping plate directly acts on the surface of the part of the vehicle to be fixed. Through its anti-slip design, it ensures a tight fit between the bracket and the vehicle, preventing safety hazards caused by loosening. The introduction of the clamping adjustment member allows the user to flexibly adjust the force and pressure of the clamping plate, thereby achieving a more stable installation. In this embodiment, preferably, the clamping adjustment member 13 is a first adjusting screw, which passes through the side end of the trough 11 and is threadedly connected thereto, and the active end of the first adjusting screw abuts against one end of the clamping plate 12. First, the threaded connection design enables the first adjustment screw to provide stable clamping force. By turning the screw, the user can easily adjust the pressure of the clamping plate on the car's surface, ensuring the secure and stable installation of the bracket. Second, the active end of the first adjustment screw rests directly on the clamping plate. This direct mechanical contact prevents loosening due to long-term use or vibration, thereby extending the lifespan of the bracket. Furthermore, the provision of the first adjustment screw simplifies the installation and adjustment process, allowing users to adjust the clamping force without the need for additional tools, improving installation efficiency. Finally, the reliability of the threaded connection also means that the bracket can maintain a stable clamping effect when subjected to vibration and impact in various complex road conditions, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the spotlight's illumination direction. Specifically, two first adjustment screws are provided, symmetrically distributed on both sides. The dual-screw design significantly enhances the clamping force of the clamping plate on the car's surface, ensuring the stability of the bracket even under extreme conditions, such as high-speed driving or bumpy roads, and preventing the spotlight from shifting or loosening due to vibration. Secondly, the left-right symmetrical distribution makes the clamping force more uniform, avoiding deformation or damage of the bracket due to excessive force on one side, and improving the overall durability of the bracket.

[0032] Preferably, guide strips 14 are further provided at the left and right ends of the clamping plate 12, and guide holes 15 that match the guide strips 14 are further provided at the side ends of the trough body 11, and the guide strips 14 pass through the corresponding guide holes 15. First, the cooperation between the guide strips and the guide holes provides precise guidance for the movement of the clamping plate in the trough body, thereby avoiding loosening or damage of the bracket due to improper installation or deviation during the adjustment process. Secondly, the design of the guide strips limits the free movement of the clamping plate in the horizontal direction, ensuring that the clamping plate can always remain parallel to the surface of the car during the adjustment process, thereby improving the flatness and stability of the bracket installation. Furthermore, the presence of the guide strips and guide holes also simplifies the installation and adjustment steps. The user only needs to push the clamping plate along the direction of the guide strip to easily complete the initial installation and angle adjustment of the bracket, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0033] Preferably, the ball slot 22 comprises a left hemispherical slot 221 and a right hemispherical slot 222, with the front and rear ends of the left and right hemispherical slots 221 and 222 connected by threaded connections to form the ball slot 22. Compared to traditional one-piece ball slot designs, the split design not only facilitates processing and manufacturing, reducing production costs, but also allows for fine-tuning during installation, ensuring more precise positioning of the spotlight. Furthermore, the threaded connection provides a secure connection, effectively preventing loosening due to vibration or external forces, and improving the stability and durability of the spotlight bracket. Furthermore, the ball slot 22 is provided with a second adjustment screw 23, which extends through the ball slot 22 and is threadedly connected thereto. The active end of the second adjustment screw 23 is located inside the ball slot 22. The addition of this second adjustment screw to the ball slot further enhances the bracket's adjustability. The second adjustment screw extends through the ball slot and is threadedly connected thereto, with its active end located inside the slot. By rotating the second adjustment screw, the user can fine-tune the installation angle of the spotlight and further secure it.

[0034] This embodiment also provides an automotive spotlight, comprising a spotlight body 4 and the bracket described in the above embodiment. The spotlight body 4 is connected to a spotlight connection portion 3. Specifically, the bottom of the spotlight body 4 is threadedly fixedly connected to the spotlight connection portion 3. This automotive spotlight also allows for flexible adjustment of the spotlight angle, effectively improving the performance and practicality of the automotive spotlight.
