TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of LED lamp, in particular to a vehicle lamp device with adjustable light transmittance. BACKGROUND

[0002] The vehicle lamp device with adjustable light transmittance is one of the important developments of modern automobile lighting technology, aiming to provide more flexible and precise lighting effect. The Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN213299965U discloses a light transmittance adjustable automobile LED headlamp. Through a series of innovative designs, the device realizes effective adjustment of the light transmittance and irradiation distance of the LED light. The core design of the device is to clamp the second lens with a movable square clamp and fix the lens with a movable column, so as to facilitate users to replace second lenses of different thicknesses to change the light transmittance of the LED light. In addition, the device also adopts a lead screw mechanism to control the distance between the two lenses, thereby accurately adjusting the irradiation distance of the LED light. This design not only improves the flexibility of the vehicle lamp, but also makes the lighting effect more precise and controllable.

[0003] However, although the device has many advantages in design and function, there are still some potential problems in the adjustment mechanism during actual use. Specifically, when adjusting the position of the second lens, the device is realized through the cooperation of two groups of motors, lead screws and sliding blocks. In ideal conditions, the two motors should work synchronously to ensure that the two lead screws can rotate synchronously, thereby maintaining the stable position of the second lens. However, in actual conditions, due to the influence of various factors such as manufacturing errors, frictional resistance, motor performance differences and control precision limitations, it is difficult for the two motors to work completely synchronously. This leads to the phenomenon that the two lead screws may not be synchronized during rotation, which in turn makes the second lens prone to tilt during adjustment. Once the second lens tilts, the stress distribution it receives will no longer be uniform, thereby increasing the risk of lens breakage.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a vehicle lamp device with adjustable light transmittance to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0008] Preferably, in order to ensure the stability of the position of the second lens after adjustment, a worm wheel is rotatably arranged in the fixing sleeve and fixedly sleeved on the shaft of the gear, a worm is rotatably sleeved on the fixing sleeve and meshingly connected with the worm wheel, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected with the end of the worm. The cooperation of the worm and the worm wheel can realize the circumferential locking of the gear, prevent the gear from being reversed under the action of the rack, and ensure the stability of the position of the second lens after adjustment.

[0009] Preferably, in order to facilitate the installation of the second lens, a groove is arranged at the end of the telescopic sleeve away from the first lens, and the second lens is embedded in the groove. The groove facilitates the embedding of the second lens on the telescopic sleeve, and facilitates the specified installation of the second lens.

[0010] Preferably, in order to ensure that the second lens is stably embedded in the groove, a cap is threadedly sleeved at the end of the telescopic sleeve close to the second lens, and a through hole for light to pass through is arranged on the cap. The cap can stably install the second lens on the telescopic sleeve, and prevent the second lens from shaking on the telescopic sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, in order to facilitate the rotation of the cap: the annular array of the cap is provided with a plurality of anti-skid grooves. The anti-skid grooves can increase the contact area between the hand and the cap, facilitating the rotation of the cap.
