Holder arrangement of a light module in the housing of a headlamp
A holder arrangement of a light module in the housing of a headlamp includes a headlamp leveling actuator being arranged between the light module and the housing for the adjustment of the position of the light module in the housing, wherein the position of the headlamp leveling actuator can be changed in the housing by means of an adjustment device. The adjustment device may include a connecting link which is embodied for the compensation of thermally induced changes of the position of the light module in the housing of the headlamp.
1. A holder arrangement of a light module in a housing of a headlamp, comprising
a headlamp leveling actuator being arranged between the light module and the housing for adjustment of a position of the light module in the housing,
an adjustment device operable for changing a position of the headlamp leveling actuator in the housing,
wherein the adjustment device further comprises a connecting link operable for compensation of thermally induced changes of the position of the light module in the housing of the headlamp.
2. The holder arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting link is connected with the headlamp leveling actuator in one of at least two different positions.
3. The holder arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the adjustment device further comprises a threaded rod and the connecting link comprises a female thread, wherein the female thread is connected to the threaded rod in one of two directions.
4. The holder arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting link further comprises a thermo-compensation section.
5. The holder arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the adjustment device further comprises a threaded rod and wherein the thermo-compensation section is aligned in the same direction as a longitudinal direction of the threaded rod when the connecting link is arranged on the threaded rod.
6. The holder arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the thermo-compensation section comprises a spring tab operable for connection with the headlamp leveling actuator with a free end thereof.
7. The holder arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein the free end of the spring tab has a connecting peg operable to be snap-locked into several peg-receptions arranged on the headlamp leveling actuator through elastic spring deflection.
8. The holder arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the adjustment device further comprises a threaded rod and further comprising at least a second connecting link and wherein the connecting links are provided with differing thermo-compensation sections are arranged between the threaded rod and the headlamp leveling actuator.
9. A headlamp with a holder arrangement for the reception of a light module in the housing of the headlamp, comprising
a headlamp leveling actuator being arranged between the light module and the housing for the adjustment of the position of the light module in the housing,
an adjustment device operable for changing the position of the headlamp leveling actuator in the housing,
wherein the adjustment device comprises a connecting link operable for the compensation of thermally induced changes of the position of the light module in the housing of the headlamp.
10. The headlamp according to claim 9 , wherein the connecting link is connected with the headlamp leveling actuator in one of at least two different positions.
11. The headlamp according to claim 9 , wherein the adjustment device further comprises a threaded rod and the connecting link comprises a female thread, wherein the female thread is connected to the threaded rod in one of two directions.
12. The headlamp according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting link further comprises a thermo-compensation section.
13. The headlamp according to claim 12 , wherein the adjustment device further comprises a threaded rod and wherein the thermo-compensation section is aligned in the same direction as a longitudinal direction of the threaded rod when the connecting link is arranged on the threaded rod.
14. The headlamp according to claim 12 , wherein the thermo-compensation section comprises a spring tab operable for connection with the headlamp leveling actuator with a free end thereof.
15. The headlamp according to claim 14 , wherein the free end of the spring tab has a connecting peg operable to be snap-locked into several peg-receptions arranged on the headlamp leveling actuator through elastic spring deflection.
16. The headlamp according to claim 12 , wherein the adjustment device further comprises a threaded rod and further comprising at least a second connecting link and wherein the connecting links are provided with differing thermo-compensation sections are arranged between the threaded rod and the headlamp leveling actuator.
