Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, specifically to a flower bud-shaped, openable and closable automotive headlight. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional automotive headlight designs are often static and lack innovation and dynamic aesthetics. In automotive design, headlights are not only lighting tools but also an important component of the vehicle's appearance. However, existing headlight designs cannot achieve dynamic opening and closing effects, nor can they simulate the natural, flowing shape of a flower bud opening and closing, which to some extent limits the innovation and aesthetics of automotive design. Furthermore, traditional headlights suffer from poor synchronization when unfolding in multiple layers, making them prone to interference and affecting their performance and lifespan.
[0003] Existing automotive headlight systems suffer from abrupt movements and poor synchronization during deployment and closure. Traditional headlight deployment structures cannot mimic the natural, fluid opening and closing of a flower bud, resulting in a lack of dynamic aesthetics in the car's appearance. Furthermore, the poor synchronization during the unfolding of multiple layers of headlights easily leads to interference, affecting not only their performance but also their lifespan. In addition, traditional drive systems are bulky and difficult to miniaturize, limiting their application in automotive design. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flower bud-shaped, openable and closable automotive headlight to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flower bud-shaped, openable car headlight, including a fixed base. The fixed base has an outer cover on its top, the outer cover being hollow inside. Multiple hinges are evenly distributed on the top of the outer cover. An inner cover is provided on the inner wall of each hinge, the inner cover being hollow inside. An LED light is installed inside the inner cover. Movable plates are provided on the inner walls of the tops of the multiple hinges near the inner cover. Multiple lifting columns are provided at the ends of the multiple movable plates away from the hinges. The output ends of the multiple lifting columns are all oriented towards one end of the movable plate. A first rotating block is fixedly connected to the output end of each of the multiple lifting columns. First connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the side walls of the multiple movable plates located on both sides of the first rotating block. The multiple first rotating blocks are all disposed inside the first connecting blocks.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: multiple first rotating blocks are inserted into first connecting blocks that are matched in position, and multiple first rotating blocks and first connecting blocks that are matched in position are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a second connecting block is fixedly connected to the end of each of the multiple movable plates away from the lifting column, and a multiple second rotating blocks are fixedly connected to the sidewalls of the multiple hinges that match the positions of the second connecting blocks.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, multiple second rotating blocks are rotatably connected to second connecting blocks that match their positions.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a lampshade is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner cover, and the LED light is disposed inside the lampshade.

[0012] This invention transforms the linear motion of the central driver into the synchronous unfolding motion of the petals through a linkage mechanism, achieving a biomimetic opening and closing effect and making the automotive headlights unfold and close more naturally and smoothly. The central push rod and the slider of the driving petal base slide along the guide rail, ensuring the synchronicity of the multi-layered petals during unfolding with an error of less than 0.5°, greatly improving the performance. The use of miniaturized components such as a 28-stepper motor and POM bearings enables the miniaturization of the drive system, making the headlight system more compact and suitable for installation on various vehicle models. With a cycle life exceeding 100,000 cycles, the long-term stability and reliability of the headlight system are guaranteed. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, the flower bud-shaped openable car headlight includes a fixed base 1. The top of the fixed base 1 is provided with an outer cover 3. The interior of the outer cover 3 is hollow. Multiple hinges 4 are evenly arranged on the top of the outer cover 3. The inner wall of the hinge 4 is provided with an inner cover 6. The interior of the inner cover 6 is hollow. An LED light 7 is arranged inside the inner cover 6. Each of the multiple hinges 4 has a movable plate 41 on the top inner wall near the inner cover 6. Each of the multiple movable plates 41 has multiple lifting columns 11 at the end away from the hinge 4. The output ends of the multiple lifting columns 11 are all arranged facing the end of the movable plate 41. Each of the output ends of the multiple lifting columns 11 is fixedly connected to a first rotating block 43. Each of the multiple movable plates 41 is located on both sides of the first rotating block 43 and is fixedly connected to a first connecting block 42. The multiple first rotating blocks 43 are all arranged inside the first connecting block 42.
[0024] Multiple first rotating blocks 43 are inserted into first connecting blocks 42 that are matched in position, and multiple first rotating blocks 43 and the first connecting blocks 42 that are matched in position are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 44. Multiple movable plates 41 are fixedly connected to a second connecting block 46 at the end away from the lifting column 11, and multiple hinges 4 are fixedly connected to multiple second rotating blocks 45 on the sidewalls that are matched in position with the second connecting blocks 46.
[0025] Multiple second rotating blocks 45 are rotatably connected to second connecting blocks 46 that are matched in position. A lampshade 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner cover 6, and an LED light 7 is disposed inside the lampshade 10.
[0026] A motor 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed base 1. A PCM bearing 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the lamp cover 10.

[0027] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the headlights need to be turned on, the motor 5 starts, driving the lifting column 11 to move upward. The output end of the lifting column 11 pushes the movable plate 41 upward, thereby causing the hinge 4 to unfold outward. During the unfolding process, the first rotating block 43 and the first connecting block 42 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 44, ensuring the smooth unfolding of the hinge 4. At the same time, the second rotating block 45 and the second connecting block 46 are also rotatably connected, further enhancing the stability of the hinge 4. When the hinge 4 is fully unfolded, the LED light 7 illuminates, providing lighting. When the headlights need to be turned off, the motor 5 reverses, driving the lifting column 11 downward, causing the hinge 4 to close inward.
