  • Patent number: 9272661
    Abstract: A vehicular lamp angle-adjusting mechanism includes a driving unit having a motor and a motor gear connected with the motor, a transmission unit having a transmission gear shaft and a middle gear connected with the transmission gear shaft, and an output unit. The motor gear is engaged with the middle gear so that the motor in operation can transmit power to the transmission gear shaft. The output unit has an output gear engaged with the transmission gear shaft and an output shaft connected with the output gear so that the transmission gear shaft can drive the output gear to force a vehicular lamp to pivot through the output shaft. As a result, the vehicular lamp angle-adjusting mechanism provided by the present invention is structurally simplified and space-saving.

  • Publication number: 20150288246
    Abstract: A motor rotor dynamic balance compensation set includes a mounting member including a center through hole for mounting on the shaft of a motor rotor and a plurality of grooves equiangularly spaced around the outer perimeter thereof, and one or multiple counterweights selectively mountable in the grooves of the mounting member. After performed a dynamic balancing calibration on the motor rotor to discover the position and weight needed for dynamic balance compensation, the engineer can quickly find out the groove on the mounting member corresponding to the compensating position, and then insert a mating counterweight into the groove to complete Thus, the whole calibration process is relatively simple and weight compensation can be directly performed, enhancing the accuracy of the compensation.

  • Patent number: 9010973
    Abstract: A motor vehicle headlight positioning device consisting of a holder base, a headlight support, a step motor, a movable member and a swivel arm is disclosed. The headlight support is pivotally mounted in the holder base to hold a motor vehicle headlight. By means of the rotation of an output screw of the step motor to move the movable member linearly, the headlight support is rotatable by the movable member and the swivel arm to adjust the projecting direction of the motor vehicle headlight. As the output screw is rotated on its own axis and the output screw is supported in a support block of the holder base, the displacement stability of the movable member is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 8794807
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp steering mechanism includes an output gear providing an eccentric block, a housing, a light source having an eccentric shaft connected to the eccentric block of the output gear, a transmission gear set, and a driving device for driving the transmission gear set to rotate the output gear in biasing the light source, thereby adjusting the illumination angle of the light source. By means of arranging the light source and the output gear in a coaxial relationship, the output torque of the output gear is fully reflected in the biasing of the light source, enhancing transmission efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7918615
    Abstract: An aperture-ring-and-shutter device includes a base unit, a shutter unit, and a diaphragm unit. The base unit includes a base having an optical opening along an optical axis. The shutter unit includes a shutter sheet, a shutter-driving element disposed on the base, and a toggling element actuated by the shutter-driving element. The toggling element has a guide bar utilized to rotate the shutter sheet. The shutter-driving element switches the toggling element between an opening location and a covering location. The guide bar of the toggling element forces the shutter sheet to expose or cover the optical opening of the base unit. The diaphragm unit includes an aperture plate, a diaphragm-driving element, and a toggled element pushed by the diaphragm-driving element. The aperture plate has an aperture less than the optical opening of the base unit. The toggled element has a guide pin utilized to rotate the aperture plate.
