[0037] The dimming mechanism, a crucial component of a vehicle, primarily adjusts the position of the illumination areas of the high beam and low beam headlights. In actual production, researchers have found that in traditional dimming mechanisms, the high beam and low beam modules are mounted into the lamp housing using separate brackets. This increases the number of components in the dimming mechanism. Furthermore, dimming calibration requires separate calibration of the high beam and low beam modules, resulting in low calibration efficiency. When the high beam and low beam modules are mounted on the same bracket, the bracket is prone to deformation, which can cause the upper edge of the high beam module's illumination area to not align with the upper edge of the low beam module's illumination area, affecting the headlight's illumination performance.

[0038] With the development of science and technology, vehicles, as an important part of modern transportation, play an increasingly vital role in people's daily lives. The dimming mechanism, as a crucial component of the vehicle, primarily functions to adjust the position of the irradiation areas of the high beam and low beam headlights. However, traditional dimming mechanisms suffer from technical problems such as complex dimming calibration processes and low efficiency.

[0039] This utility model proposes a dimming mechanism and vehicle, aiming to solve the technical problem of low dimming calibration efficiency in dimming mechanisms.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment of this utility model, the dimming mechanism is applied to a vehicle. The dimming mechanism includes a lamp housing 100, a bracket 200, a headlight assembly 300, a first dimming assembly 400, and a second dimming assembly 500. The bracket 200 is disposed within the lamp housing 100 and has a first mounting surface 210 and a second mounting surface 220. The headlight assembly 300 includes a low beam module 310 and a high beam module 320. The low beam module 310 is disposed on the first mounting surface 210, and the high beam module 320 is disposed on the second mounting surface 220. The low beam module 310 has a first irradiation area 312, and the high beam module 320 has a second irradiation area 322. The first dimming component 400 is disposed on the bracket 200 and connected to the lamp housing 100; the first dimming component 400 can drive the bracket 200 to move, and simultaneously adjust the positions of the high beam module 320 and the low beam module 310, thereby simultaneously adjusting the positions of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322. The second dimming component 500 is disposed on the high beam module 320 and connected to the bracket 200; the second dimming component 500 can drive the high beam module 320 to move, adjust the position of the high beam module 320, and thereby adjust the position of the second irradiation area 322, so that the upper edge of the second irradiation area 322 is flush with the upper edge of the first irradiation area 312.

[0041] The technical solution of this utility model improves the efficiency of dimming calibration while ensuring the irradiance effect of the vehicle lights by mounting the low beam module 310 and the high beam module 320 on the same bracket 200 and adjusting the second irradiation area 322 using the second dimming component 500. In this embodiment, the low beam module 310 is mounted on the first mounting surface 210 of the bracket 200, and the high beam module 320 is mounted on the second mounting surface 220 of the bracket 200. That is, the low beam module 310 and the high beam module 320 are mounted on the same bracket 200. The first dimming component 400 is used to drive the bracket 200 to move, so as to simultaneously adjust the position of the low beam module 310 and the high beam module 320, and thus simultaneously adjust the vertical and horizontal positions of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322. During dimming calibration, the operator only needs to adjust the position of the bracket 200 through the first dimming component 400 to complete the dimming calibration, which can improve the efficiency of dimming calibration. The second dimming component 500 drives the high beam module 320 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the high beam module 320 and consequently the position of the second irradiation area 322. During assembly of this dimming mechanism, workers can adjust the position of the high beam module 320 using the second dimming component 500, aligning the upper edge of the second irradiation area 322 with the upper edge of the first irradiation area 312. This compensates for errors caused by deformation of the bracket 200, ensuring the irradiance effect of the vehicle headlights. This dimming mechanism is applied in the field of vehicle technology.

[0042] It should be noted that when the high beam module 320 and the low beam module 310 are mounted on the same bracket 200, the bracket 200 is prone to deformation, which can cause the upper edge of the irradiation area of ​​the high beam module 320 to not be aligned with the upper edge of the irradiation area of ​​the low beam module 310, affecting the illumination effect of the headlights. This dimming mechanism, by incorporating a second dimming component 500, can adjust the position of the high beam module 320, thereby aligning the upper edge of the second irradiation area 322 of the high beam module 320 with the upper edge of the first irradiation area 312 of the low beam module 310, ensuring the illumination effect of the headlights. When assembling the dimming mechanism, workers first need to install the low beam module 310 and the high beam module 320 onto the corresponding mounting surfaces of the bracket 200, and adjust the position of the high beam module 320 using the second dimming component 500 so that the upper edge of the second irradiation area 322 is flush with the upper edge of the first irradiation area 312. Then, the bracket 200 with the high beam module 320 and the low beam module 310 installed is installed onto the lamp housing 100. Finally, the assembled dimming mechanism is installed at the corresponding position on the vehicle (at the vehicle's headlights), and the position of the bracket 200 is adjusted using the first dimming component 400, thereby simultaneously adjusting the vertical and horizontal positions of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 to complete the dimming calibration. In addition, to ensure that the bracket 200 does not interfere with the lamp housing 100 when adjusting the position of the bracket 200, a gap is provided between the part of the bracket 200 that mounts the high beam module 320, that is, the part of the bracket 200 corresponding to the first mounting surface 210, and the rear inner wall surface of the lamp housing 100.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the first dimming assembly 400 includes a connector 410, a first dimming element 420, and a second dimming element 430. The connector 410, the first dimming element 420, and the second dimming element 430 are all disposed on the bracket 200 and connected to the lamp housing 100. The first dimming element 420 and the second dimming element 430 are spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle, and the first dimming element 420 and the connector 410 are spaced apart along the height direction of the vehicle. An axis extending through the first dimming element 420 along the height direction of the vehicle is defined as the first axis, and an axis extending through the connector 410 along the width direction of the vehicle is defined as the second axis. The second dimming element 430 can drive the bracket 200 to rotate around the first axis to adjust the position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 in the width direction of the vehicle. The first dimming element 420 and the second dimming element 430 can simultaneously drive the bracket 200 to rotate around the second axis to adjust the position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 in the height direction of the vehicle. The first axis is defined as follows: Figure 1 As shown by X in the figure, the second axis is as follows Figure 1As shown in the Y diagram. In this embodiment, the second dimming element 430 can drive the bracket 200 to rotate around the first axis to adjust the position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 in the width direction of the vehicle, that is, to adjust the left and right position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322; the first dimming element 420 and the second dimming element 430 can act simultaneously to drive the bracket 200 to rotate around the second axis to adjust the position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 in the height direction of the vehicle, that is, to adjust the up and down position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, both the first dimming component 420 and the second dimming component 430 include a connecting nut 421 and a connecting bolt 422. The connecting nut 421 is disposed on the bracket 200, and the connecting bolt 422 is rotatably disposed on the lamp housing 100 and threadedly connected to the connecting nut 421. In this embodiment, both the first dimming component 420 and the second dimming component 430 adopt a nut and bolt connection structure. During dimming calibration, the operator only needs to rotate the corresponding connecting bolt 422 to adjust the position of the bracket 200 and complete the dimming calibration. This reduces the difficulty of dimming calibration for the operator and improves the efficiency of dimming calibration.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting bolt 422 includes an integrally formed screw 4221 and a nut 4222. The screw 4221 is rotatably mounted on the lamp housing 100, and the nut 4222 has retaining teeth on the side facing the lamp housing 100. In this embodiment, the retaining teeth on the side of the nut 4222 facing the lamp housing 100 can engage with the tip of a Phillips screwdriver. During dimming calibration, the operator only needs to insert the tip of the Phillips screwdriver into the gap between the retaining teeth and rotate the Phillips screwdriver to drive the corresponding connecting bolt 422 to rotate and adjust the position of the bracket 200, which greatly reduces the difficulty of dimming calibration for the operator. It should be noted that without the locking teeth, workers usually need to hold the nut 4222 with their fingers and rotate it to drive the connecting bolt 422 to rotate. Since the space at the nut 4222 is relatively narrow, it is difficult for workers to apply force to the nut 4222 to drive the connecting bolt 422 to rotate. However, by setting the locking teeth on the side of the nut 4222 facing the lamp housing 100, the dimming mechanism allows workers to use appropriate tools to drive the connecting bolt 422 to rotate, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of dimming calibration for workers.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3In one embodiment of this utility model, the connector 410 includes a buckle 411 and a motor 412. The motor 412 is disposed on the lamp housing 100 and has a telescopic rod 4121. The buckle 411 is disposed on the bracket 200 and connected to the telescopic rod 4121. The axis extending along the width direction of the vehicle through the first dimming element 420 is defined as the third axis. The motor 412 can drive the bracket 200 to rotate around the third axis to adjust the position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 in the height direction of the vehicle. The third axis is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Z in the diagram. In this embodiment, the motor 412 drives the telescopic rod 4121 to extend and retract, thereby driving the bracket 200 to rotate around the third axis via the buckle 411, to adjust the position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 in the height direction of the vehicle, that is, to adjust the vertical position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322; it can provide convenience for the user to adjust the vertical position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 when using the vehicle. It should be noted that the first adjusting member and the second adjusting member are used by the staff to adjust the vertical position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 during the vehicle assembly process, while the connecting member 410 is used by the user to adjust the vertical position of the first irradiation area 312 and the second irradiation area 322 during the use of the vehicle.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, the telescopic rod 4121 is provided with a ball head, and the buckle 411 is provided with a spherical receiving cavity, with the ball head disposed within the receiving cavity. In this embodiment, the telescopic rod 4121 and the buckle 411 are connected by a universal joint structure, which can improve the flexibility of the connector 410 when adjusting the position of the bracket 200.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of the present invention, the second dimming component 500 includes a fixing block 510, a sleeve 520 and a dimming screw 530. The fixing block 510 is disposed at the bottom of the high beam module 320, the sleeve 520 passes through the fixing block 510 and is fixedly connected to the fixing block 510, and the dimming screw 530 is rotatably disposed on the bracket 200, and the dimming screw 530 passes through the sleeve 520 and is threadedly connected to the sleeve 520. In this embodiment, the sleeve 520 passes through the fixing block 510 and is fixedly connected to the fixing block 510; the dimming screw 530 is rotatably disposed on the bracket 200, and the dimming screw 530 passes through the sleeve 520 and is threadedly connected to the sleeve 520; when adjusting the upper and lower positions of the second irradiation area 322, the operator only needs to rotate the dimming screw 530 to drive the sleeve 520 to move along the axial direction of the dimming screw 530, adjust the position of the high beam module 320, and thus make the upper edge of the second irradiation area 322 flush with the upper edge of the first irradiation area 312, ensuring the irradiation effect of the vehicle headlight. It should be noted that the second dimming component 500 can also adopt a structure similar to the first dimming component 420 and the second dimming component 430, that is, a structure using a nut and bolt connection; specifically, the second dimming component 500 includes a dimming bolt and a dimming nut, the dimming nut is installed on the high beam module 320, and the dimming bolt is rotatably installed on the bracket 200 and threadedly connected to the dimming nut.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the first mounting surface 210 is provided with a first receiving hole 211. Two first lugs 311 are spaced apart at the top and bottom of the low beam module 310. The low beam module 310 passes through the first receiving hole 211, and each first lug 311 is connected to the bracket 200. The second mounting surface 220 is provided with a second receiving hole 221. Two second lugs 321 are spaced apart at the top of the high beam module 320. The high beam module 320 passes through the second receiving hole 221, and each second lug 321 is connected to the bracket 200. In this embodiment, both the low beam module 310 and the high beam module 320 pass through corresponding receiving holes and are mounted to the bracket 200 via corresponding lugs, which makes the structure of the dimming mechanism more compact. In a specific embodiment, each lug is mounted to the bracket 200 by bolt connection.

[0050] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the first irradiation region 312 has a buffer zone 3121, and the second irradiation region 322 is at least partially irradiated by the buffer zone 3121. For the shape of the first irradiation region 312 in this embodiment, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4It has a clearance zone 3121, which prevents the light emitted by the low beam module 310 from directly shining on the driver of an oncoming vehicle. The second irradiation zone 322 of the high beam module 320 can at least partially illuminate the clearance zone 3121 to supplement the clearance zone 3121, illuminating the road conditions further ahead for the driver and providing better visibility.
