  • the present invention relates to an optical axis adjusting apparatus of a projector headlight adopted as a headlight of automobiles, more particularly to an optical axis adjusting apparatus in which when a projector type headlight is mounted on the automobile's body, an optical axis of the headlight is preliminarily adjustable in the vertical and horizontal direc­tions in order to obtain the most suitable illumination posi­tion thereof.
  • a conventional headlight the adjustment of the optical axis has been made by the mechanism in which the reflecting surface of a reflector having a bulb and disposed within a housing is arranged tiltably with respect to the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the reflector, or the mechnism in which a whole housing including a reflector is arranged tiltably with respect to the horizontal and vertical axes.
  • a projector type headlight it is requested for a projector type headlight to condensing the light reflected by the reflector at the focal point of a convex lens.

  • the projector type headlight unit is com­pact in comparison with a conventional headlight but the unit is formed in a configuration elongated in the reflector's axial direction, therefore it is important that the whole lamp unit including housing is mounted on the automobile's body, and then the optical axis thereof is adjusted and the head­light is surely held at a predetermined position.
  • the object of the present invention is to present an op­tical axis adjusting apparatus of a projector type headlight having a compact constitution and high reliability.
  • object of the present invention is to present the optical axis adjusting apparatus of a projector type headlight in which the adjusting operation of the optical axis is made very easily and further it is possible to surely maintain the adjusted condition of the headlight.
  • a further object of the present invention is to present the optical axis adjusting apparatus of a projector type head­light having the constitution that no resonance of a lamp unit is caused with respect to any vibration from external.

  • a whole projector type headlight 10 in which a reflector 12 has an inside reflecting surface 14 and a bulb 16 as a light source is installed on a reflec­tor's axis Z - Z.
  • the inside reflecting surface 14 is formed in such as revolutional spheroid
  • the bulb 16 as a light source is disposed in such a manner that the filament of the bulb 16 is located on one focal point of the spheroid
  • a shade 18 for shaping the light reflected on the inside reflecting sur­ face 14 and condensing the light toward the other focal point of the spheroid is desposed in such a manner that the upper edge portion of the shade locates on the horizontal surface in­cluding the reflector's azis Z - Z.
  • a convex lens 20 for pro­jecting forwardly the pencil shaped by the shade 18 is apart from the shade by a constant distance (the focal distance of the convex lens), and the convex lens 20 is disposed such that the center of the convex lens is lcocated on the reflector's axis Z - Z.
  • These optical system is fixed on the same frame 22 integrally to form a lamp unit.
  • the frame 22 is formed approximately cylindrical, and the convex lens 20 is fixed at one end of the frame 22.
  • the other end of the frame 22 is formed approximately rectangular as a flange por­tion 23 for the purpose of fixing the reflector 12 as mentioned hereinafter.
  • the reflector 12 is made of synthetic resin, and the opening portion is formed as an approximately rectangular in this embodiment, though it is general to form the opening portion as the flange portion 24 projected in the direction perpendicular to the reflector's axis in view of strength.
  • These connecting members 26 are formed integrally with the reflector 12.
  • the flange portion 23 of the frame 22 is connected to the reflector 12 by screwing male screws 28 into female screws formed at the end point of the connecting members 26 respectively.

  • Numeral 44 denotes a slide shoe formed at the rear surface of the base wall 38 in the vicinity of the vertical wall 40b among the vertical walls 40a and 40b, and the slide shoe 44 is contacted with the bracket 36.
  • the slide shoe 44 supports a portion of the weight of the above-mentioned lamp unit and the bracket 36, and the slide shoe 44 is formed as perlforming the function to reduce the friction force between the bracket 36 and the slide shoe 44 upon rotation of the brack­et 36 around the rotation shaft 42.
  • the lamp unit is installed rotatably around the horizontal axis with respect to the brack­et 36. Namely, there are provided horizontal shafts 50a and 50b at the upper portion of the paired vertical walls 40a and 40b respectively, and both side portions of the flange portion 23 of the frame 22 are rotatably supported at the horizontal shafts 50a and 50b respectively.
  • the lamp unit is preferably constructed such that the center of gravity of the lamp unit is located in the vertical surface perpendicular to the reflec­tor's axis and including the horizontal shafts 50a and 50b. In this embodiment, the center of gravity thereof is located in the vicinity of the line connecting the horizontal shafts 50a and 50b with each other.
  • the adjusting screw rods are con­structed so as not to be moved in the axial direction respec­tively, and the male screw portion of each adjusting screw rods 61 and 63 is screwed, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, into each of nuts 64 and 66 fixed at the upper portion of the flange 23 of the frame 22 and the vertical wall 40b of the bracket 36 re­spectively.
  • the nut 64 is positioned at the position apart from the rotation shaft 42
  • the nut 66 is positioned at the position apart upwardly from the line connecting the horizontal shafts 50a and 50b.
  • the center of gravity of the unit lamp is located in the vicinity of the line con­necting the horizontal shafts 50a and 50b, therefore the load to be applied to the adjusting screw rods 60 and 62 may be small.
  • the bracket 36 is rotated around the vertical shaft 42 with respect to the housing 32 forwardly or reversely, in the state that the rotation position of the lamp unit around the horizon­tal axis is held with respect to the bracket 26, on the other hand by rotating the adjusting screw rod 62 forwardly or re­versely, the lamp unit is rotated around the horizontal shafts 50a and 50b with respect to the bracket 36, in the state that the rotation position of the bracket 36 around the vertical shaft is held with respect to the housing 32. Therefore, the optical axis of the lamp unit can be easily adjustable and held at the adjusted position thereof, by rotating the adjusting screw rod 60 or 62 in the suitable direction.
  • Numeral 80 denotes a transparent cover for covering the front opening of the hous­ing 32 and it is fixed at the opening portion of the housing 32 by using adhesive 82.
