[0025] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of an automotive headlight according to this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model discloses an automotive headlight, including an asymmetric double freeform surface lens 7. A heat sink 1 is provided at one end of the asymmetric double freeform surface lens 7. A first LED light source 3 and a second LED light source 10 are respectively disposed on the heat sink 1. A zoom ellipsoidal reflector 5, corresponding to the first LED light source 3, is disposed on the heat sink 1. A high beam freeform surface reflector 11 is disposed outside the second LED light source 10. The high beam freeform surface reflector 11 has a hollow conical structure, and both ends of the high beam freeform surface reflector 11 are open. By using the high beam freeform surface reflector 11, the light emission angle of the light source is reduced, improving light energy utilization. In terms of efficiency, a baffle 8 is provided in the middle of the inlet of the asymmetric double freeform surface lens 7. The end of the heat sink 1 is fixedly connected to the asymmetric double freeform surface lens 7 through the bracket 6, and the two ends of the baffle 8 are fixedly connected to the bracket 6 through the connecting rod 9. The baffle 8 has an arc-shaped structure. The focal point of the asymmetric double freeform surface lens 7 is not at a single point, but on an arc. If a straight baffle 8 is used, the cutoff line will tilt upward at a certain angle. Moreover, the wider the horizontal illumination width of the near beam, the more severe the tilt of the cutoff line. In order to make the baffle 8 better imaged on the target surface to form a straight cutoff line, the overall contour of the baffle 8 is bent by a certain arc.

[0027] One end of the heat sink 1 is set as an inclined surface 2. The second LED light source 10 is installed on the inclined surface 2, and the first LED light source 3 is installed on the upper surface of the heat sink 1. When the first LED light source 3 is lit, the light is reflected by the inner surface of the zoom ellipsoidal reflector 5 and focused at the second focal point of the zoom ellipsoidal reflector 5. Then, after passing through the baffle 8 and the lower half of the asymmetric double freeform surface lens 7, the light is distributed to form a near-beam spot on the test screen 25 meters away. The baffle 8 is used to form a 45° cutoff line and block stray light. Then, the second LED light source 10 is lit, and the light is reflected and converged by the far-beam freeform surface reflector 11. Then, the light is distributed by the upper half of the asymmetric double freeform surface lens 7 and superimposed with the near-beam spot to form the far-beam spot. The inclined surface 2 is distributed at a 45° angle, so that the second LED light source 10 is distributed at a 45° angle. Both the first LED light source 3 and the second LED light source 10 are connected to the heat sink 1 through the copper substrate 4, and silicone is provided between the copper substrate 4 and the surface of the heat sink 1. The heat sink 1 is composed of a heat-conducting plate and heat sink fins, which is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here. By applying silicone between the copper substrate 4 and the heat sink 1, the position of the light source is fixed and heat is transferred. Through the heat sink 1, heat can be dissipated from the LED light source, so that the LED light source can emit light normally and ensure the normal operation of the headlight system.

[0028] The working principle of this automotive headlight is as follows: the reflectivity of the zoom ellipsoidal reflector 5 and the freeform surface reflector 11 is set to 90%, the baffle 8 is used as a light absorber, and the lens material is selected as PMMA, which has a higher Abbe number than PC material. The refractive index of different wavelengths of light is not significantly different, which can effectively suppress light dispersion. In low beam mode, the illumination width can reach 16m. This wide illumination range provides the driver with a large field of view, making it easier to anticipate road conditions around the vehicle. Even with such a wide illumination range, a straight cutoff line is still achieved, avoiding the upward tilting of the cutoff line caused by a large illumination range. The maximum high beam illuminance is 94.82 lux, providing a bright lighting environment even in poorly lit road conditions.

[0029] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
