[0027] An arc-shaped tooth plate 4 fixed to the back of the lighting lamp 5;
[0028] The arc-shaped bracket 3 is slidably connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped tooth plate 4 through a guide rail, and the two arc-shaped brackets 3 are respectively rotatably connected to the inside of the first lamp holder 1 and the second lamp holder 2;
[0029] A driven mechanism 7 is provided on the back of the arc-shaped bracket 3;
[0030] A transmission mechanism 8 is provided between the two driven mechanisms 7;
[0031] A driving mechanism 6 is provided at the bottom of the first lamp holder 1. The driving mechanism 6 directly drives the arc-shaped bracket 3 on one side to swing left and right, and links the arc-shaped bracket 3 on the other side through the transmission mechanism 8.
[0032] The first stepper motor 9 is mounted on the arc-shaped bracket 3, and the first stepper motor 9 drives the arc-shaped gear plate 4 through the driven mechanism 7 to drive the lighting lamp 5 to swing up and down;

[0034] Specifically, the transmission shaft 81 can play both a transmission role and a connecting rod role. The device realizes multi-angle adjustment of the rotorcraft headlights through the ingenious combination of dual-stepper motor drive and transmission mechanism 8. The first stepper motor 9 is connected in parallel with the transmission shaft 81 through the rotating rod 71, the universal joint 82, and the transmission shaft 81 to ensure the synchronous pitch adjustment of the lighting lamps 5 on both sides in the vertical direction. The second stepper motor 62 drives the arc-shaped bracket 3 to swing horizontally through the meshing transmission of the first gear 63 and the arc-shaped gear block 64, and cooperates with the synchronous driving operation of the transmission mechanism 8 to realize the horizontal deflection linkage of the lighting lamps 5 on both sides. The device ensures the consistency of the lighting direction of the two lights, and significantly reduces the weight burden and power consumption brought by the independent drive motor system.

The arc-shaped toothed plate 4 drives the lighting lamp 5 to swing up and down.
[0036] refer to Figure 2 The transmission mechanism 8 includes a transmission shaft 81, and both ends of the transmission shaft 81 are fixedly sleeved with a universal joint 82.

The interiors of the first lamp holder 1 and the second lamp holder 2 are fixedly connected to the two concave rings respectively. The surface of the lighting lamp 5 is fixedly sleeved with a convex ring. The interior of the concave ring is rotatably sleeved with the convex ring, so that the lighting lamp 5 drives the convex ring to swing in multiple directions inside the concave ring.
