Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle headlight devices face challenges in effectively dissipating heat generated by LED lighting units, which can lead to damage and reduced service life.
Innovation Solution
The vehicle light device incorporates a heatsink base with cooling fins and a light reflector housing to efficiently dissipate heat, with the heatsink base featuring a base frame, chip mounting surface, and cooling fins to direct heat away from LED lights, and the light reflector housing reflecting light to project it forward while allowing heat dissipation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If LED lighting units are installed in the vehicle headlight device, then the illumination efficiency and energy consumption are improved, but heat is generated that can damage the LED lights and reduce service life
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful heat generated by LED lights into a manageable thermal flow by designing a reflector housing with integrated heat dissipation structures. The reflector housing not only reflects light forward but also channels heat away from the LED lights through strategically designed openings and reflective surfaces, transforming the harmful thermal energy into a controlled dissipation pattern that protects the LED components.
Solution Approach 2:
The reflector housing serves multiple functions simultaneously: it reflects light forward to improve illumination, dissipates heat away from LED lights to protect them, and provides structural support for the lighting assembly. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate heat sink components while solving both the illumination and heat management requirements.
2Use of energy by moving object
If conventional light bulbs are replaced by LED lights, then energy consumption is reduced, but the housing and lighting components need to be remodeled to accommodate LED illumination characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of the reflector housing and heat dissipation structures into a single integrated component. The reflector housing incorporates openings and reflective surfaces that serve dual purposes: directing light forward and channeling heat away from the LED lights. This consolidation simplifies the overall structure compared to traditional designs that would require separate reflector and heat sink components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent addresses the directional illumination characteristics of LEDs by designing the reflector housing with specific geometric features that manipulate light in three-dimensional space. The curved reflective surfaces and strategically positioned openings create controlled light distribution patterns that leverage LED's inherent directional emission, eliminating the need for additional optical components.

AI summary
A beam pattern module includes a heatsink base, at least one LED light and light reflector housing. The heatsink base includes a base frame and at least one at least one chip mounting surface. The chip mounting surface protrudes on an inner side surface of a base plate of the heatsink base, and the LED light is disposed on the chip mounting surface. The light reflector housing includes a side portion and a reflecting portion. The side portion is provided with a one cut-out. The side portion is fitted on the inner side surface, and the chip mounting surface and the LED light are exposed in the mounting space. The reflecting portion extending from an edge of the side portion and coupled to a rear plate of the base frame, so as to form a single module to be installed to a vehicle light device.
