ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention involves an automatic turning headlight structure, especially an improved headlight structure that will turn to the left side or the right side following the steering wheel.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional car (automobile) headlight structure is located on the front or back end of the vehicle, and when driving at night or in a dark area, the light will beam forward so that the driver can see the front area, but when the driver wants to turn toward the left or right side of the road, the headlight still beams straight forward and the light will not beam at the left or right side. When the driver is turning to the other side, there will be a short period that the driver does not get enough light to see ahead, as a result of which the driver cannot see the barrier at the left or right side, which is very dangerous for driving. For this reason, the inventor has made some improvements upon the conventional headlight structure to avoid this inconvenience and danger, that is, an automatic turning headlight structure that make driving more safe and increases the driver's vision at night.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The major object of the invention is to provide an automatic turning headlight structure that may provide greater safety when driving at night. The steering wheel has a running gear. The running gear includes a compact gear wheel speed changing box. The gear wheel speed changing box can follow the turning of the steering wheel to drive a variable resistor, causing transmission of a signal to the drive circuit of a server. In response, the server controls the turning of the headlight so that the headlight will follow the movement of the steering wheel as it turns left or right. Another object of the invention is to provide a simple automatic turning headlight structure that is mounted by a main shaft at the front side of the car, with a server being placed inside of the headlight structure, connected by a shaft with the main shaft. The server receives a signal to turn and to transmit to the shaft a force to drive the main shaft to make the headlight turn.
The objects, characteristics and functions of the present invention can be best described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the following embodiment hereinafter.
