Motorcycle Headlight Housing Layout for Camera Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Saddle riding vehicles, such as motorcycles, face challenges in minimizing vehicle size due to restricted space for integrating object information acquisition devices and light emitting devices, which increases the size of the accommodating case when disposed side by side.
Innovation Solution
The devices are compactly disposed in a common accommodating case with the object information acquisition device supported by the control board and the light emitting device supported by one surface, allowing for a smaller accommodating case and reduced vehicle size, with the option to use a headlight case and an LED as the light source for flexibility and aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the object information acquisition device and light emitting device are disposed side by side in a common accommodating case, then the devices can be integrated in the vehicle, but the accommodating case increases in size and the entire vehicle increases in size
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the object information acquisition device and light emitting device into a single accommodating case, merging two separate device assemblies into one integrated unit. This merging allows both devices to coexist in the vehicle without requiring separate mounting spaces, thereby integrating functionality while controlling overall size.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent arranges the object information acquisition device and light emitting device in different spatial dimensions within the accommodating case. Specifically, the object information acquisition device is positioned to face forward while the light emitting device is positioned at a different orientation, utilizing three-dimensional space efficiently rather than simply placing them side by side in one dimension.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the accommodating case is increased in size to accommodate both devices, then the devices can be integrated, but the entire vehicle becomes larger
Solution Approach 1:
The patent positions the object information acquisition device and light emitting device in a nested or closely packed arrangement within the accommodating case. The devices are arranged to utilize overlapping or adjacent spatial volumes, allowing one device to be partially positioned within or adjacent to the other device's mounting space, thereby minimizing the overall length of the accommodating case.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the devices are simply disposed side by side, then integration is achieved, but the accommodating case size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a flexible mounting arrangement where the object information acquisition device and light emitting device can be positioned at different orientations and angles within the accommodating case. The control board and mounting structure allow for dynamic spatial arrangement, enabling the devices to be configured in a space-efficient manner rather than rigid side-by-side positioning.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes vertical and depth dimensions within the accommodating case to position the devices, rather than only horizontal side-by-side arrangement. The object information acquisition device may be positioned at a different vertical level or depth position than the light emitting device, effectively using three-dimensional space to reduce the overall volume required.

AI summary
A saddle riding vehicle includes a light emitting device (15, 23), an object information acquisition device (17, 26), a control board (20) and an accommodating case (14). The light emitting device (15, 23) radiates light to an outer side of the vehicle, and the object information acquisition device (17, 26) acquires information of an object outside the vehicle. The control board (20), to which the light emitting device (15, 23) is attached, controls the light emitting device. The accommodating case (14) accommodates the light emitting device (20), the object information acquisition device (17, 26), and the control board (20). The object information acquisition device (17, 26) is supported by the control board (20).
