Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle lighting accessories technology, and in particular to a vehicle headlight and electric scooter with an adjustable angle. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese patent CN204227262U discloses an electric vehicle headlight, which includes a headlight component and a bracket. The headlight component has a connecting block with a slot in the middle for the bracket to be inserted. A bolt passes between the bracket and the connecting block, allowing the connecting block and the bracket to rotate relative to each other around the bolt. The small end of the bolt protrudes from the connecting block and has a nut on it. When the nut and bolt are tightened, the connecting block is compressed, causing the slot to narrow and thus clamping the bracket, thereby restricting the relative rotation between the connecting block and the bracket.

[0003] The aforementioned headlight components have an angle adjustment function. After the bracket is fixed to the electric vehicle, the headlight components can be rotated to the desired angle, and then the bolts can be tightened to complete the adjustment. However, the above adjustment requires the use of tools to tighten the bolts. Without tools, the headlight angle cannot be adjusted. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the existing electric vehicle headlights. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the drawback that the angle adjustment function of existing electric vehicle headlights requires tools, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric vehicle headlight that can be adjusted without the aid of tools.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0006] A vehicle light with adjustable angle includes a light component and a bracket. The light component includes a housing and a light-emitting component disposed within the housing. The housing has a connecting block that is rotatably connected to the bracket. The bracket has a snap-fit ​​structure. The connecting block has a snap-fit ​​member that can rotate synchronously with the connecting block. The snap-fit ​​member can move to engage with or disengage from the snap-fit ​​structure. When the snap-fit ​​structure engages with the snap-fit ​​member, it restricts the relative rotation between the connecting block and the bracket. When the snap-fit ​​member disengages from the snap-fit ​​structure, the connecting block and the bracket can rotate relative to each other. A reset member is provided between the connecting block and the bracket to drive them to re-engage when the snap-fit ​​member disengages from the snap-fit ​​structure.

[0007] Using the above solution, users only need to operate the latch to detach from the latching structure to unlock the connecting block and the bracket. The two can then rotate relative to each other to adjust the angle. After adjustment, releasing the latch allows it to re-engage with the latching structure under the drive of the reset component, limiting the relative rotation of the connecting block and the bracket, thus completing the adjustment of the headlight angle. Compared with existing technologies, the electric vehicle headlight in this solution only requires operating the latch to adjust the headlight angle, eliminating the need for tools and improving the convenience of adjustment. Even when people are out and about without the necessary tools, they can still adjust the headlight angle.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting block has a groove for the bracket to be placed in, and the two ends of the bracket have through holes. The connecting block is provided with a circumferential positioning component. When the bracket is placed in the groove, the connecting block is rotatably connected to the bracket by means of the circumferential positioning component.

[0009] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​structure includes an annular component, the inner ring of which is provided with a number of limiting teeth at intervals, and the end face of the bracket is provided with a corresponding mounting groove for the annular component to be inserted at the through hole. The snap-fit ​​component includes an outer toothed ring that can engage with the limiting teeth, and the outer toothed ring is provided with a guide component that guides itself to move along the through hole.

[0010] Preferably, the guide component includes a hexagonal guide post protruding from the end face of the external toothed ring, and a guide hole that mates with the guide post is provided on the connecting block, with the end of the guide post extending from the guide hole to the outside of the connecting block.

[0011] Preferably, the cross-section of the annular part is hexagonal, and the outer wall of the annular part fits tightly with the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the reset member includes an elastic element disposed between the outer toothed ring and the connecting block, the elastic element being able to drive the outer toothed ring to engage with the limiting tooth.

[0013] Using the above scheme, the external toothed ring can move along the through hole by relying on the cooperation of the guide post and the guide hole. When it moves to cooperate with the limiting tooth on the ring, the connecting block and the bracket are mutually limited and cannot rotate relative to each other. When the external toothed ring moves to disengage from the limiting tooth, the connecting block can rotate relative to the bracket. In this scheme, people can push the external toothed ring to disengage from the limiting tooth by pressing the part of the guide post exposed outside the connecting block. When the guide post is released, the elastic element drives the external toothed ring to re-cooperate with the limiting tooth.

[0014] An electric scooter includes a frame, a handlebar tube frame at the front end of the frame, an electric vehicle light as described in any of the above embodiments on the scooter body, and an arc-shaped base connected to the handlebar tube frame on the bracket. The handlebar tube frame and the arc-shaped base are connected by fasteners.

[0015] Using the above solution, the headlight can be used as an aftermarket electric vehicle accessory. Since the size of electric scooter frames varies, the installation position of the headlight may be inconsistent. People often cannot judge whether the direction of the headlight is appropriate when it is first installed. They need to observe and adjust it gradually during subsequent driving. After the electric scooter is equipped with the headlight of the above solution, the rider can adjust the angle and direction of the headlight at any time, which is very convenient.

[0016] This utility model has significant technical effects due to the adoption of the above technical solutions: the electric vehicle headlights in this solution can be adjusted in angle simply by using the operating card connector, without the need for tools, which improves the convenience of adjustment. When people are out and about without the corresponding tools, they can still adjust the headlight angle. After the electric scooter is equipped with the headlights in the above solution, the driver can adjust the headlight angle at any time, which is very convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example

[0026] A type of electric scooter, according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the vehicle includes a frame 1, a handlebar tube frame 2 at the front end of the frame 1, a bracket 4 fixedly mounted on the handlebar tube frame 2, and a headlight component 3 mounted on the bracket 4. The headlight component 3 includes a housing and a light-emitting component disposed within the housing. A connecting block 7 rotatably connects to the bracket 4 on the housing. A groove 8 is provided on the connecting block 7 for the bracket 4 to be inserted. Through holes 9 are provided on both ends of the bracket 4. A circumferential positioning member 10 is provided on the connecting block 7. When the bracket 4 is inserted into the groove 8, the connecting block 7 is rotatably connected to the bracket 4 by means of the circumferential positioning member 10. In this embodiment, a threaded hole 13 is provided on the end face of the connecting block 7. A threaded section 12 that mates with the threaded hole 13 is protruding on the outer ring wall of the circumferential positioning member 10. A boss 11 is protruding at the end of the circumferential positioning member 10 that is inserted into the bracket 4 after being screwed into the threaded hole 13. The bracket 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 7 by means of the boss 11.

[0027] The bracket 4 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, and the connecting block 7 is movably provided with a snap-fit ​​component that can rotate synchronously with the connecting block 7, according to... Figure 3 , 6 The shown snap-fit ​​structure includes an annular component 14. The inner ring of the annular component 14 is provided with several spaced limiting teeth 15. A mounting groove 16 for the annular component 14 is correspondingly provided on the end face of the bracket 4 at the through hole 9. In this design, the cross-section of the annular component 14 is hexagonal, and the outer wall of the annular component 14 fits tightly with the inner wall of the mounting groove 16. The snap-fit ​​component includes an outer toothed ring 17 capable of engaging with the limiting teeth 15. The outer toothed ring 17 is provided with a guide component that guides its movement along the through hole 9. Figure 3 , 6 As shown, the guide component includes a hexagonal guide post 18 protruding from the end face of the external toothed ring 17, and a guide hole 19 that mates with the guide post 18 is provided on the connecting block 7. The end of the guide post 18 extends from inside the guide hole 19 to the outside of the connecting block 7.

[0028] A reset element is provided between the connecting block 7 and the bracket 4 to drive them to re-engage when the snap-fit ​​component disengages from the snap-fit ​​structure. Figure 3 , 6 As shown, the reset member includes an elastic member 20 disposed between the outer toothed ring 17 and the connecting block 7. The elastic member 20 can drive the outer toothed ring 17 to engage with the limiting tooth 15. In this embodiment, the elastic member 20 is a spring. The elastic member 20 is disposed between the circumferential positioning member 10 and the outer toothed ring 17. A receiving groove 21 for the elastic member 20 to be placed is provided on the end face of the boss 11.

[0029] Based on the above structure, refer to Figures 1-6It can be seen that the electric scooter in this solution is equipped with a headlight assembly whose angle and orientation can be adjusted without any adjustment. During adjustment, people can press the part of the guide post 18 exposed outside the connecting block 7 to drive the outer toothed ring 17 to disengage from the limiting tooth 15. At this time, the connecting block 7 can rotate relative to the bracket 4, thereby adjusting the angle of the headlight assembly. After the adjustment is completed, the end of the guide post 18 can be released. At this time, the elastic element 20 drives the outer toothed ring 17 to engage with the limiting tooth 15. When the two are engaged, the connecting block 7 and the bracket 4 are mutually limited and cannot rotate relative to each other.

[0030] Because the size of the electric scooter frame 1 varies, the position for installing the headlights may differ. People often cannot determine whether the headlights are facing the right direction immediately after installation and need to observe and adjust them gradually during subsequent use. Compared with existing technologies, the electric scooter headlights in this solution can be adjusted by simply using the operating card connector, without the need for tools, thus improving the convenience of adjustment.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
