Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a limiting structure, more specifically, it relates to a limiting ball head screw. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of mechanical engineering, precision instruments and fastener manufacturing, the light adjusting structure of vehicle lamp is an important component. The light adjusting of vehicle lamp is mainly achieved by adjusting the height of light type, which involves the use of ball head screws. Ball head screws are a common type of fastener, characterized by a spherical head that provides multidirectional adjustment. In the light adjusting structure of vehicle lamp, ball head screws are used to adjust the height of light type to meet the regulatory requirements for vehicle lamp illumination. Prior art solution: Existing light adjusting structures of vehicle lamp use ball head screws to adjust the height of light type. The ball head screws are fixed in ball head seats, and by rotating the ball head screws, the height of light type can be changed. This design is simple, easy to operate, and has achieved good results in practical applications. Prior art problems: However, the existing light adjusting structure of vehicle lamp has some problems. First, the existing adjustment has no angle limit, and often results in over-adjustment in one direction when adjusting the light, leading to back-and-forth adjustment, which not only wastes time and effort, but also easily causes the ball head screw to come out of the ball head seat, affecting the adjustment effect and safety. Second, once the existing ball head screw is rotated in one direction, it will also cause the ball head screw to come out of the ball head seat, which not only affects the adjustment effect, but also poses a safety hazard. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model overcomes the insufficient that the existing ball head screw has no limit to the deflection angle of the ball head, making it difficult to adjust and easy to come out, and provides a limiting ball head screw that can limit the deflection angle of the ball head, making it easy to position and preventing the ball head screw from coming out.

The structure of the taper surface of the limiting part enables the limiting part and the limiting wall to provide limiting at each circumferential direction, and the angle of the limiting is the same.

[0008] As preferred, the angle between the taper surface and the limiting wall is 4 degrees.

[0009] As preferred, the length of the generatrix of the limiting wall is greater than the length of the generatrix of the taper surface. The structure improves the stability of the angle limiting.

[0010] As preferred, the limiting part is a limiting disc arranged on the connecting part, and when the movable rod and the ball head seat are coaxial, the distance from each position of the outer edge of the limiting disc to the limiting wall is the same.

[0011] As preferred, the rotating part is a sphere or a hemisphere.

[0012] As preferred, a fixing nail is further included, and the ball head seat is provided with a fixing hole at the end away from the opening of the accommodating cavity, and the fixing nail passes through the fixing hole.

[0013] As preferred, the connecting part is a bolt.

Specifically, the angle between the taper surface and the limiting wall 7 is 4 degrees.

[0031] In some embodiments, the length of the generatrix of the limiting wall 7 is greater than the length of the generatrix of the taper surface. The structure improves the stability of the angle limiting. In some embodiments, when the movable rod 2 rotates to the limit of travel, the taper surface and the limiting wall 7 are in close contact.

[0032] Further comprising a fixing nail 9, the ball head base 1 is provided with a fixing hole at the end away from the opening of the accommodating cavity 3, and the fixing nail 9 penetrates through the fixing hole.

In this embodiment, the limiting wall of the cavity opening of the accommodating cavity 3 is an end surface, when the movable rod 2 rotates, the limiting disc 10 abuts against the limiting wall 7, the movement is limited, and the movable rod cannot continue to move in this direction.

[0037] Embodiment:

[0038] The embodiment provides a limiting ball head screw device, and the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0039] Step 1: Selecting appropriate materials. The rotating part 4, the limiting part 5 and the connecting part 6 can be selected to be made of stainless steel material, which has good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. The ball head base 1 can be selected to be made of aluminum alloy material, which has light weight and good heat dissipation performance.

[0040] Step two: process the rotating part 4, the limiting part 5 and the connecting part 6. The rotating part 4 can be processed into a spherical or hemispherical shape with a diameter of 10mm. The limiting part 5 can be processed into a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 5mm and a height of 2mm. The connecting part 6 can be processed into a bolt with a length of 10mm and a diameter of 5mm.

[0041] Step three: process the ball seat 1. The accommodating cavity 3 of the ball seat 1 can be processed into a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 15mm and a depth of 10mm. The opening of the accommodating cavity 3 is provided with a limiting wall 7, which can be processed into a circular ring with a thickness of 2mm and a diameter of 15mm.

[0042] Step four: assemble the ball screw device. The rotating part 4, the limiting part 5 and the connecting part 6 are sequentially loaded into the accommodating cavity 3 of the ball seat 1. Ensure that the rotating part 4 can rotate freely, the limiting part 5 has a gap 8 with the limiting wall 7, and the connecting part 6 can drive the gap 8 between the limiting part 5 and the limiting wall 7 to adjust.

[0043] Step five: adjust the gap 8 between the limiting part 5 and the limiting wall 7. By rotating the connecting part 6, the gap 8 between the limiting part 5 and the limiting wall 7 can be adjusted to 4°. At this time, the rotating part 4 cannot rotate at a certain angle in the accommodating cavity 3, and the limiting is completed.

[0044] Step six: test the ball screw device. Install the ball screw device in the light adjusting structure of the vehicle lamp to adjust the light height. During the adjustment process, it can be observed that the gap 8 between the limiting part 5 and the limiting wall 7 is adjusted, and when the gap 8 is 4°, the rotating part 4 cannot rotate, and the limiting is completed.

[0045] The above is the specific implementation steps of the embodiment, and through this method, the precise adjustment of the light height of the vehicle lamp can be realized, and the adjustment effect and safety are improved.

[0046] The above-described embodiments are only preferred schemes of the present application and do not limit the present application in any form. Other variants and modifications can be made without exceeding the technical solutions recited in the claims.
