Abstract
A vehicle light apparatus includes a low-beam headlight unit, and a composite headlight unit that includes a plurality of light-emitting modules and a control module. Each light-emitting module includes a high-beam light element and a turn signal light element. The control module is electrically coupled to the light-emitting modules and the low-beam headlight unit so as to simultaneously turn off the high-beam light elements and turn on the low-beam headlight unit when the turn signal light elements are switched on.
Claims3
A vehicle light apparatus comprising:
- a main housing having a receiving space;
- a low-beam headlight unit mounted in said receiving space to provide a low-beam distribution pattern;
- and
- a composite headlight unit including
- a plurality of light-emitting modules that are mounted in said receiving space, each of said light-emitting modules including a high-beam light element and a turn signal light element, said high-beam light elements of said light-emitting modules providing a high-beam distribution pattern, said turn signal light elements of said light-emitting modules providing a turn signal distribution pattern, and
- a control module that is electrically coupled to said light-emitting modules and said low-beam headlight unit so as to simultaneously turn off said high-beam light elements and turn on said low-beam headlight unit when said turn signal light elements are switched on;
- wherein each of said light-emitting modules further includes a circuit board disposed in said receiving space and electrically coupled to said control module, said high-beam and turn signal light elements being mounted on said circuit board;
- wherein each of said light-emitting modules further includes a sub-housing, a first lens barrel disposed inside said sub-housing, and a first lens disposed inside said first lens barrel, said circuit board being mounted inside said first lens barrel and rearward of said first lens;
- wherein said low-beam headlight unit includes a plurality of second lens barrels respectively disposed inside said sub-housings of said light-emitting modules, a plurality of second lenses respectively disposed inside said second lens barrels, and a plurality of low-beam light elements each of which is disposed inside a respective one of said second lens barrels rearward of a respective one of said second lenses;
- wherein said first lens has a first curved surface that is aligned with said high-beam light element, and a second curved surface that is aligned with said turn signal light element and that is side by side adjacent to said first curved surface, each of said second lenses of said low-beam headlight unit having a third curved surface that is aligned with a respective one of said low-beam light elements, and at least one fourth curved surface that is side by side adjacent to said third curved surface;
- and
- wherein said first curved surface has a curvature that is different from that of said second curved surface, and said third curved surface has a curvature that is different from that of said fourth curved surface.
