Abstract
The invention discloses a projector unit comprising a housing on which a light module is supported to be pivotable in two spatial directions. Via eccentrics which are supported on the housing, the light module can be rotated in two axes of rotation each having a specific angle of rotation. Preferably, via one eccentric, the light module is pivoted along with the axis of rotation and, via the further eccentric, the light module is rotated about the axis of rotation.
Claims14
An optical device for a vehicle comprising at least one light module (4, 12) which includes at least one light source, and comprising a housing (2) on which the light module (4, 12) is arranged, wherein the light module (4, 12) is rotatably supported on the housing (2) by at least one bearing (6, 8, 14, 16) to be rotatable about at least two bearing axes, wherein a first bearing axis is fixed in position relative to the housing (2) and a second bearing axis is variable in position relative to the housing (2), and wherein at least one eccentric (28, 30, 54, 56) is provided between the light module (4, 12) and the housing (2) and is configured so that when the eccentric (28, 30, 54, 56) is adjusted, the light module (4, 12) is rotatable relative to the bearing (6, 8, 14, 16), characterized in that at least two eccentrics (28, 30, 54, 56) are provided, wherein when a first eccentric is adjusted, the light module (4, 12) is rotatable about a bearing axis, and wherein when a second eccentric (54, 56) is adjusted, the light module (4, 12) is rotatable about a second bearing axis independently of the first bearing axis.
An optical device for a vehicle comprising at least one light module (4, 12) which includes at least one light source, and comprising a housing (2) on which the light module (4, 12) is arranged, wherein the light module (4, 12) is rotatably supported on the housing (2) by at least one bearing (6, 8, 14, 16) to be rotatable about at least two bearing axes, wherein a first bearing axis is fixed in position relative to the housing (2) and a second bearing axis is variable in position relative to the housing (2), and wherein at least one eccentric (28, 30, 54, 56) is provided between the light module (4, 12) and the housing (2) and is configured so that when the eccentric (28, 30, 54, 56) is adjusted, the light module (4, 12) is rotatable relative to the bearing (6, 8, 14, 16), characterized in that at least two eccentrics (28, 30, 54, 56) are provided, wherein when a first eccentric is adjusted, the light module (4, 12) is rotatable about the first bearing axis, and wherein when a second eccentric (54, 56) is adjusted, the light module (4, 12) is rotatable about the second bearing axis independently of the first bearing axis.
