Vehicle Lighting Regulating Assembly for HB Module Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lighting and signaling devices for motor vehicles face challenges in achieving accurate optical combinations between low beam (LB) and high beam (HB) modules due to manufacturing and assembly deviations, leading to inconsistencies in HB light profiles, and also struggle with heat dissipation and condensation issues, which affect performance and reliability.
Innovation Solution
A regulating assembly with a supporting frame, rotatable fixed regulating portions, and ball-headed screw-thread parts allows for independent horizontal and vertical adjustments of the HB module, while a gas guiding device with a flow guiding component facilitates heat dissipation and prevents condensation by managing airflow within the device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If horizontal and vertical adjustments are implemented on the HB module using conventional coupling components, then positioning accuracy can be improved, but the adjustments in different directions interfere with each other due to common coupling relationships
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting device is segmented into two independent adjusting mechanisms: a horizontal adjusting mechanism with a horizontal adjusting screw and a vertical adjusting mechanism with a vertical adjusting screw. Each mechanism operates independently on the HB module without coupling, allowing horizontal and vertical adjustments to be performed separately without interfering with each other, thus resolving the technical contradiction between positioning accuracy and adjustment independence.
2Device complexity
If conventional adjusting devices are used for the HB module, then structural complexity can be maintained, but manufacturing and assembly deviations cannot be effectively compensated
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting device incorporates self-service features where the horizontal and vertical adjusting screws directly engage with the HB module mounting structure, allowing operators to perform precise adjustments without requiring complex intermediate components or additional adjustment mechanisms. This simple yet effective design enables direct compensation for manufacturing and assembly deviations while maintaining low structural complexity.
3Ease of operation
If independent horizontal and vertical adjusting mechanisms are implemented, then adjustment independence is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The horizontal and vertical adjusting screws serve dual functions: they not only adjust the respective positions of the HB module but also inherently provide positioning and stabilization functions. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for additional separate positioning components, allowing independent adjustments to be achieved without significantly increasing device complexity.
