Common bracket of headlight for vehicle}

The present invention relates to a common bracket for headlights, and more particularly, to a common bracket that serves to fix a headlight to a headlight housing side when a headlight of a vehicle is mounted.

In general, automobile headlights are lighting devices used to ensure forward visibility during driving at night and in bad weather. Simple ON/OFF radiates light with fixed luminous intensity and fixed upward/downward irradiation angles by operating a switch by the driver. It is in OFF mode.

In these headlights, the luminous intensity of the driving beam is regulated to an appropriate level according to the KS standard and the rules on automobile safety standards, and in addition, the automobile dimming safety standard law stipulates that the low beam is within 15m in front and the obstacle within the irradiation range of within 10m. It is stipulated that it should be able to observe and verify.

Such headlights have been mainly applied in the form of assembling lenses, light bulbs, reflectors, etc., but in recent years, shield beam bulbs with an integral structure are mainly used, and high / low headlight integrated headlights or high headlights Those equipped with a pair of dipped headlights on the left and right in a separate form are mainly applied.

In addition, in recent years, headlights using LED light sources, which have excellent performance, long lifespan, and low failure rates, are becoming popular.

When the headlight of a vehicle is usually mounted on the headlight housing side, a bracket integrally formed with the headlight is fastened to the headlight housing to fix the headlight.

For example, open the dust cap of the headlight housing, insert the bracket on the headlight into the hole of the headlight housing in the direction, press the clip to fix the bracket, arrange the wires, and then close the dust cap on the headlight. installation is complete.

However, since existing brackets are composed of various types for each vehicle type, there is a disadvantage in terms of lot management because there are not only limitations in that a dedicated bracket must be used for the corresponding vehicle model, but also there are many types.

In addition, when mounting the headlight, a plurality of projections on the bracket (e.g., "A" type has 3 projections, "B" type has 2 projections, "C" type has 1 projection, etc.) on the headlight housing. It is inserted according to the number of holes. At this time, since the direction between the projection and the hole is not unified for each vehicle model, even if the headlight is installed in a fixed position, it is installed with the headlight tilted to the side to ensure sufficient brightness. There are downsides to not being able to.

In other words, in the case of automobile headlights, LEDs on both sides must be positioned so that they face both horizontal directions to produce their own brightness. In some models, even if the brackets are properly inserted by matching the directions of the protrusions and holes, the LEDs are positioned upwards and downwards in the horizontal direction. As the headlights are installed in a crooked state, there are an increasing number of complaints from consumers, such as the disadvantage of not being able to produce enough brightness.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3 are perspective views showing common brackets of headlights according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the common bracket of the headlight is composed of a combination of an outer bracket and an inner bracket, and when the headlight is mounted, the direction of the LED can be aligned in the direction desired by the user, and another bracket is used. Thus, a structure in which headlights of various specifications can be mounted regardless of the type of vehicle is formed.

To this end, the common bracket of the headlight includes an outer bracket 11 mounted on the side of the headlight housing (reference numeral 21 in FIG. 5).

The outer bracket 11 is made in the form of a circular ring block having an inner bracket fitting portion 25 made of a circular ring shape, and a plurality of protrusions extending in the radial direction on the outer circumferential surface of the outer bracket 11 ( 10) is formed, and at the same time, a stepped portion 14 is formed on the front surface.

Here, the projection 10 is a part fastened to the hole (reference numeral 22 in FIG. 5) in the headlight housing 21, and the projection 10 at this time is one corresponding to the number and position of the hole according to the vehicle model , It can be formed in various numbers and positions, such as two located at 180 ° intervals, three located at 120 ° intervals, etc. Accordingly, the projections 10 of the outer bracket 11 are applied to all headlights for each vehicle type You can do it.

In addition, a ring-shaped pad (not shown), for example, a ring-shaped pad made of silicon material or rubber material, may be mounted on the stepped portion 14 formed on the front surface of the outer bracket 11. When the outer bracket 11 is fastened to the headlight housing 21 side, the pad to be mounted serves to strengthen the airtightness and binding force of the fastening part while being in close contact with the headlight housing 21 side.

It is preferable to have three protrusions 10 positioned at 120° intervals on the outer bracket 11, and according to the three protrusions 10, "A" type and "B" type currently applied. type, "C" type brackets can all be replaced.

As another example, in the case of the outer bracket 11, each protrusion 10 is provided with one protrusion 10, two protrusions positioned at an interval of 180 °, and three protrusions positioned at an interval of 120 °, respectively, so that each outer bracket 11 It may be used by selectively coupling to the inner bracket (13).

In addition, the common bracket of the headlight includes an inner bracket 13 into which the headlight (reference numeral 18 in FIGS. 4 and 5) can be inserted while integrally coupled with the outer bracket 11.

The inner bracket 13 is made in the form of a circular tube having a flange 17 formed at one end, and this inner bracket 13 is formed of the inner bracket fitting part 25 formed on the outer bracket 11. While being fitted and coupled in a coaxial structure to the inner circumferential surface, it can be rotated together with the headlight fitted into the inner bracket 13 around its own axis.

At this time, the inner bracket 13 is coupled in a structure that is fitted until the flange 17 is caught at the end of the outer bracket 11, and the inner bracket 13 thus coupled is rotated around its own axis As a result, the headlight 18 inserted into and bound to the inner bracket 13 also rotates together, so that the direction of the LED 20 in the headlight 18 can be aligned.

Here, for coupling between the inner bracket 13 and the headlight 18, a key groove 12 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the inner bracket 13 along the axial direction, and at the same time, the headlight 18 A headlight protrusion 19 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the key groove 12 to be fitted and hung.

Accordingly, when the headlight protrusion 19 of the headlight 18 is inserted into the inner bracket 13, the headlight 18 and the inner bracket 13 are integrally bound and hung in the rotational direction. , the headlight 18 and the inner bracket 13 can be rotated together.

In particular, the key groove 12 of the inner bracket 13 communicates with each other and consists of a reduced key groove 12a having a relatively narrow width and an extended key groove 12b having a relatively wide width.

Accordingly, when coupling the headlight 18 to the inner bracket 13, after fitting the headlight protrusion 19 of the headlight 18 along the reduced key groove 12a in the axial direction, the headlight When the protrusion 19 leaves the section where the reduced key groove 12a is formed, that is, when the headlight 18 is completely inserted into the inner bracket 13, the headlight 18 is turned sideways to rotate at a certain angle. When done, the headlight protrusion 19 is positioned within the section of the extended key groove 12b, so that the headlight 18 is axially oriented by the engaging structure between the headlight protrusion 19 and the extended key groove 12b. not to fall out

Of course, when the headlight is replaced, if the headlight 18 is reversed and the headlight protrusion 19 is positioned within the section of the reduced key groove 12b, the headlight 18 can be easily taken out.

In addition, at least one ring groove 15 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the inner bracket 13, and an O-ring 16 made of silicone material, rubber material, etc. is coupled to the ring groove 15 thus formed. .

Accordingly, the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 11 can maintain a close binding relationship with each other by the frictional force exerted by the O-ring 16, and eventually the state in which the LED direction is adjusted is also stably maintained. can become

As a preferred embodiment, the inner bracket 13 is combined with the outer bracket 11, for example, the outer bracket 11 having three protrusions 10 and can be used commonly for all types of vehicles, and another inner bracket Various types of outer brackets 11 having different specifications may be selectively combined with the bracket 13 to be used for each vehicle type.

4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which a common bracket of a headlight according to an embodiment of the present invention is coupled to a headlight.

As shown in FIG. 4, the inner bracket 13 is coupled to the inside of the outer bracket 11, and the headlight 18 is coupled while being fitted along the center of the coupled inner bracket 13.

At this time, the outer bracket 11 and the inner bracket 13 can maintain a close binding relationship by the O-ring 16 interposed between the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of each other, and the headlight 18 has a headlight protrusion ( 19), it is caught in the key groove 12 of the inner bracket 13, that is, the extended key groove 12b, so that a close binding relationship with the inner bracket 13 can be maintained.

In this state, when the headlight 18 is rotated around its own axis, the inner bracket 13 overcomes the frictional force of the O-ring 16 and turns together in the same direction, eventually by this rotation structure. The direction of the LEDs 20 in the headlights 18 can be adjusted.

Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the headlight is mounted using a common bracket of the headlight according to an embodiment of the present invention.
