Among the above scheme, except that the installing support, every module contains three part: a mirror, a baffle, and a lens; certain positioning precision is required between the baffle and the reflector to prevent the displacement of the brightest point of the dipped beam; high positioning precision is needed between the baffle and the lens to ensure that the cut-off line is clear.
In the conventional thick-wall component of the headlamp optical module, a light source approximately coincides with a first focus of a reflector, and a second focus of the reflector approximately coincides with a focus of a lens. The distance from the first focus (light source) of the reflector to the reflector is L1, the distance from the reflector to the second focus (light blocking structure) of the reflector is L2, and the distance from the second focus of the reflector to the projection surface is L3, so the optical path length of the module is the sum of L1, L2 and L3, and L1 < L2 is approximately equal to L3 under the general condition. Therefore, the conventional thick-walled member for the optical module of the headlamp has disadvantages in that the volume and weight are large, the production time of the thick-walled member is long, the cost is high, and the load of the dimming structure is increased. The larger module volume is contrary to the trend of the current car light compactness, miniaturization, and the layout of the module in the car light is more limited, which is not beneficial to the modeling design.
