Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A headlight includes a shell unit defining a mounting space that extends in a front-rear direction, a mounting seat pivotally mounted in the mounting space, and having a plurality of mounting portions, a plurality of light emitting units respectively mounted to the mounting portions of the mounting seat, and an adjusting unit including an adjusting member that is mounted to the mounting seat, and that is operable for adjusting the angular position of the mounting seat. Each of the light emitting units includes a light emitting member, and a lens disposed in front of the light emitting member for allowing a light beam emitted from the light emitting member to pass therethrough.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A headlight comprising: a shell unit defining a mounting space that extends in a front-rear direction; a mounting seat pivotally mounted in said mounting space, and having a plurality of mounting portions; a plurality of light emitting units respectively mounted to said mounting portions of said mounting seat, each of said light emitting units including a light emitting member, and a lens that is disposed in front of said light emitting member for allowing a light beam emitted from said light emitting member to pass therethrough; and an adjusting unit including an adjusting member that is mounted to said mounting seat, and that is operable for adjusting the angular position of said mounting seat; wherein each of said light emitting units further includes a circuit board electrically connected to said light emitting member, and a reflecting cover disposed for reflecting the light beam emitted from said light emitting member toward said lens. 2. The headlight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein: said mounting seat further has a coupling portion pivotally coupled with said shell unit, and an adjusting hole disposed for allowing said adjusting member to threadedly extend therethrough; and said adjusting member is a screw, and is drivably rotatable for driving rotation of said mounting seat so as to change the angular position of said mounting seat. 3. The headlight as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said adjusting unit further includes a motor disposed for driving rotation of said adjusting member. 4. The headlight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of said light emitting units further includes a heat dissipating member having a plurality of heat dissipating fins. 5. The headlight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein: each of said mounting portions of said mounting seat has a surrounding wall, and a mounting hole surrounded by said surrounding wall, and extending in the front-rear direction; and each of said light emitting units is received in a corresponding one of said mounting holes of said mounting portions. 6. The headlight as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an ancillary light unit mounted in said mounting space. 7. The headlight as claimed in claim 1 , wherein: said shell unit includes a shell, and a transparent light output cover disposed in front of said shell; and said light output cover and said shell cooperatively define said mounting space. 8. A headlight comprising: a shell unit defining a mounting space that extends in a front-rear direction; a mounting seat pivotally mounted in said mounting space, and having a plurality of mounting portions; a plurality of light emitting units respectively mounted to said mounting portions of said mounting seat, each of said light emitting units including a light emitting member, and a lens that is disposed in front of said light emitting member for allowing a light beam emitted from said light emitting member to pass therethrough; an adjusting unit including an adjusting member that is mounted to said mounting seat, and that is operable for adjusting the angular position of said mounting seat; and an ancillary light unit mounted in said mounting space. 9. The headlight as claimed in claim 8 , wherein: said mounting seat further has a coupling portion pivotally coupled with said shell unit, and an adjusting hole disposed for allowing said adjusting member to threadedly extend therethrough; and said adjusting member is a screw, and is drivably rotatable for driving rotation of said mounting seat so as to change the angular position of said mounting seat. 10. The headlight as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said adjusting unit further includes a motor disposed for driving rotation of said adjusting member. 11. The headlight as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each of said light emitting units further includes a heat dissipating member having a plurality of heat dissipating fins. 12. The headlight as claimed in claim 8 , wherein: each of said mounting portions of said mounting seat has a surrounding wall, and a mounting hole surrounded by said surrounding wall, and extending in the front-rear direction; and each of said light emitting units is received in a corresponding one of said mounting holes of said mounting portions. 13. The headlight as claimed in claim 8 , wherein: said shell unit includes a shell, and a transparent light output cover disposed in front of said shell; and said light output cover and said shell cooperatively define said mounting space.
