10906451 · 2021-02-02 · ·

The present invention relates to a headlamp's aiming apparatus, in which the headlamp's optical axis is adjustable with respect to a vehicle body, the aiming apparatus that includes a stationary member secured to a portion of the headlamp; a tiltable member attached to the stationary member via one or more adjustment shafts; and a fixed pivot shaft to allow pivotal connection with the headlamp's tiltable member. Adjustment shafts include a ball portion at a forward end portion, a drive shaft portion at a rear end portion and a flexible portion between the ball and drive shaft portions. The pivot shaft in conjunction with the adjustment shafts enable the tiltable member to tilt about a horizontal axis and a vertical axis of the headlamp to adjust the headlamp's optical axis, and the flexible portion is adapted to deflect in multiple directions to enhance accessible degrees of freedom during the headlamp's optical axis adjustments.

A headlamp adjustment system is applied on a head lamp. The head lamp includes a lens cover, a housing and a reflector. The headlamp adjustment system includes a fixing member, a screw member, a jointing member, a flexible shaft member and a mounting assembly. The fixing member is fixedly disposed on the housing and includes a through hole. The through hole is communicated with a through opening of the housing. The screw member includes a front end and a rear end. The front end is passed through the through opening to be connected to the reflector, and the rear end is passed through the through hole to be exposed out of the housing. The jointing member is connected between the screw member and the flexible shaft member. The mounting assembly is restrictedly disposed in the lens cover and connected to the flexible shaft member.

Adjustment system for optical assemblies designed especially for motor vehicle headlights

The adjustment system comprises at least one pair of adjustment apparatuses. For each optical assembly, one adjustment apparatus is adapted to turn the optical assembly around the turning axis (; ) independently of the other optical assembly. The adjustment system further comprises an additional adjustment apparatus connected to a first adjustment apparatus and adapted to transfer its movement to the movement of this adjustment apparatus; and a connecting member connected to the additional adjustment apparatus and to a second adjustment apparatus at the same time, and adapted to transfer the movement of the additional adjustment apparatus to the movement of the second adjustment apparatus (. If the additional adjustment apparatus is connected to the first adjustment apparatus and the connecting member is connected between the additional adjustment apparatus and the second adjustment apparatus, turning movement of one optical assembly will automatically induce a turning movement of the other optical assembly.
