Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive headlight gap compensation and adjustment technology, specifically relating to a novel compensation gap adjusting nut. Background Technology
[0002] The gap-compensating nut is mainly used during the vehicle production and assembly process. Due to manufacturing tolerances, assembly deviations, and other factors, there may be a small gap between the headlight and the mounting position. The gap-compensating nut can adjust these errors to ensure the accuracy of the headlight mounting position. Through its design, the gap-compensating nut provides a simple adjustment mechanism, allowing the headlight's beam angle to be finely adjusted as needed.
[0003] In the existing technology, the existing components can only adjust the angle of the headlights, but cannot adjust the position of the headlights. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of compensation gap adjusting nut to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A novel gap-compensating adjusting nut includes an adjusting base and an adjusting screw connected to one side of the adjusting base. One end of the adjusting screw is located in a hole in the adjusting base. A spring clip is installed inside the adjusting screw. An adjusting nut is threaded to the end of the adjusting screw away from the adjusting base. A plastic adjusting ring is connected to the outside of the adjusting nut. Elastic buckles are fixedly connected to both sides of the plastic adjusting ring. A metal clip is provided on the side of the plastic adjusting ring away from the adjusting base. A buckle groove is provided on one side of the metal clip to cooperate with the elastic buckle. A hexagonal nut is fixedly connected to the side of the metal clip away from the adjusting base.
[0007] Further specified, the metal clip is generally C-shaped, the side of the metal clip away from the adjustment base is hook-shaped, and the hexagonal nut is welded to the metal clip.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner side of the opening of the metal clip is connected to the vehicle headlight component.
[0009] Furthermore, the metal clips, hexagonal nuts, and spring clips are all made of stainless steel, which is not easily corroded and is wear-resistant.
[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting nut, adjusting screw, and adjusting base are all made of high-strength alloy materials, and their surfaces are treated with a highly corrosion-resistant electroplating process.
[0011] Furthermore, the plastic adjusting ring is made of nylon.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0013] This invention can compensate for installation errors. During the production and assembly of a vehicle, due to manufacturing tolerances, assembly deviations, and other factors, there may be a small gap between the headlight and the mounting position. The compensation gap nut can adjust these errors and ensure the accuracy of the headlight installation position.
[0014] This invention offers adjustable flexibility. To adapt to different driving conditions and regulatory requirements, vehicle lights need to have a certain range of adjustment. The compensation gap nut, through its design, allows for precise adjustment of the beam angle and position of the vehicle lights as needed. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1-6As shown, a novel gap-compensating adjusting nut includes an adjusting base 7 and an adjusting screw 5 connected to one side of the adjusting base 7. One end of the adjusting screw 5 is located in a hole opened in the adjusting base 7. A spring clip 6 is installed inside the adjusting screw 5. An adjusting nut 4 is threadedly connected to the end of the adjusting screw 5 away from the adjusting base 7. A plastic adjusting ring 3 is connected to the outside of the adjusting nut 4. Elastic buckles 31 are fixedly connected to both sides of the plastic adjusting ring 3. A metal clip 1 is provided on the side of the plastic adjusting ring 3 away from the adjusting base 7. A clip groove 11 that cooperates with the elastic clip 31 is provided on one side of the metal clip 1. A hexagonal nut 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the metal clip 1 away from the adjusting base 7.
[0026] Using the technical solution of this embodiment, the gap between the adjusting base 7 and the adjusting nut 4 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting base 7 and the adjusting screw 5. The spring clip 6 is located in the hole of the adjusting screw 5. The spring clip 6 is used to prevent the adjusting screw 5 from rotating. The metal clip 1 is used to connect the automotive parts, thereby fixing the entire component relatively, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the adjusting base 7 and the adjusting nut 4. The component can be installed in a designated position by the hexagonal nut 2. Since the adjusting nut 4 is connected in the plastic adjusting ring 3, and the plastic adjusting ring 3 is snapped into the metal clip 1, the adjusting nut 4 can be fixed by fixing the component. (Refer to...) Figure 3 A bolt connects the adjusting screw 5 and the hexagonal nut 2. The lower end of the bolt is threaded to the hexagonal nut 2. The hexagonal nut 2 is connected to the adjusting nut 4 by the bolt. At the same time, the spring clip 6 can prevent the adjusting screw 5 from rotating relative to the bolt. By rotating the bolt, the gap between the hexagonal nut 2 and the adjusting nut 4 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the headlight component. By rotating the adjusting nut 4, the metal clip 1 can be rotated, thereby adjusting the horizontal angle of the headlight component.
[0027] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The metal clip 1 is generally U-shaped, with the side of the metal clip 1 away from the adjusting base 7 being hook-shaped. A hexagonal nut 2 is welded to the metal clip. The inner opening of the metal clip 1 is connected to the vehicle headlight component. In this embodiment, the metal clip 1 is an elastic component. The hexagonal nut 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the metal clip 1 away from the adjusting base 7. The hexagonal nut 2 and the metal clip 1 move synchronously. When the hexagonal nut 2 moves upward, the metal clip 1 moves upward synchronously, and the vehicle component moves accordingly.
[0028] Metal clip 1, hexagonal nut 2, and spring clip 6 are all made of stainless steel, which is not easily corroded and is wear-resistant.
[0029] The adjusting nut 4, adjusting screw 5, and adjusting base 7 are all made of high-strength alloy material, and their surfaces are treated with a highly corrosion-resistant electroplating process. In this embodiment, the high-strength material ensures the stability and durability of the adjusting nut 4, adjusting screw 5, and adjusting base 7 during long-term use.
[0030] The plastic adjusting ring 3 is made of nylon. Nylon has high impact resistance and good temperature resistance.
[0031] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
