Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] Example

[0021] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This application provides a technical solution: a novel horizontal dimming linkage structure, including module B support point 110, first linkage rod 120, second linkage rod 140, third linkage rod 160, fourth linkage rod 180, fifth linkage rod 192, module A support point 194 and sixth linkage rod 195. The first linkage rod 120 and the second linkage rod 140 are connected together by a first worm gear transmission component 150, and the second linkage rod 140 and the third linkage rod 160 are connected together by a first bevel gear transmission component 170.

[0022] The third and fourth adjusting rods 160 and 180 are also connected together by the first bevel gear transmission 170. The fourth and sixth adjusting rods 195 are connected together by the second bevel gear transmission 190. The sixth and fifth adjusting rods 195 and 192 are connected together by the second worm gear transmission 191. The fulcrum 194 of module A is threaded onto the fifth adjusting rod 192, and the fulcrum 110 of module B is threaded onto the first adjusting rod 120.

[0023] The first adjusting rod 120 has a first external thread 130, and the module B support point 110 is threaded onto the first external thread 130. The first external thread 130 facilitates the installation of the module B support point 110. The fifth adjusting rod 192 has a second external thread 193, and the module A support point 194 is threaded onto the second external thread 193. The second external thread 193 facilitates the installation of the module A support point 194. The third adjusting rod 160 has an operating groove 196, which facilitates the rotation of the third adjusting rod 160. The first adjusting rod 120, the fourth adjusting rod 180, and the fifth adjusting rod 192 are parallel to each other. The second adjusting rod 140 and the sixth adjusting rod 195 are parallel to each other. The third adjusting rod 160 is perpendicular to the first adjusting rod 120, the second adjusting rod 140, the fourth adjusting rod 180, the sixth adjusting rod 195, and the fifth adjusting rod 192.

[0024] Specifically, the working principle of this new horizontal dimming linkage structure is as follows: During use, rotating the third linkage rod 160 drives the first bevel gear transmission component 170, which in turn drives the second linkage rod 140 and the fourth linkage rod 180. The rotation of the second linkage rod 140 and the fourth linkage rod 180 drives the first worm gear transmission component 150 and the second bevel gear transmission component 190. The rotation of the first worm gear transmission component 150 and the second bevel gear transmission component 190 drives the first linkage rod 120 and the sixth linkage rod 195. The rotation of the first linkage rod 120 drives the module B pivot point 110 to rotate, and the rotation of the sixth linkage rod 195... The second worm gear drive 191 drives the fifth adjustment rod 192 and module A fulcrum 194 to rotate synchronously. That is, rotating the third adjustment rod 160 realizes the linkage between module B fulcrum 110 and module A fulcrum 194, achieving single-point rotation and horizontal linkage between module B fulcrum 110 and module A fulcrum 194. This new horizontal dimming linkage structure can use a split dimming bracket, which can realize horizontal linkage when placed side by side. It can realize more module configuration schemes, such as the combination of projection module and matrix module. Moreover, the adjustment can be completed at the factory of the lamp, without the need for adjustment at the vehicle end, saving time and bringing a better user experience.

[0025] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
