    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Referring to Figs. 3 to 5, the vehicle headlight of the present invention comprises a base 2 which is composed of a first part 20 and a second part 21. Each of the first and second parts 20, 21 has a facing side, a front end and a rear end. The first and second parts 20, 21 each have a reflector 200/210. The first and second parts 20, 21 are connected to each other by the two respective facing sides, an arched reflection surface is constituted by the two reflectors 200, 210 in the base 2. A separation plate 22 is located between the first and second parts 20, 21. Multiple fins 221 are formed on the rear end of the separation plate 22 and located outside of the first and second parts 20, 21. A circuit board 222 is connected to each of the top face and the bottom face of the separation plate 22, and each circuit board 222 has multiple Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) 223 connected thereon.
  • A shading plate 3 is located at the front of the first part 20 and has a notch 30 defined in the top thereof. A driving device 4 is connected to the shading plate 3 and has a movable plate 44 which is movable to seal the notch 30 of the shading plate 3.
  • The first part 20 and the second part 21 each have a first flange 201/211 extending from the front end thereof. Each of the first flanges 201, 211 has multiple holes 202/212. The shading plate 3 has multiple holes 31 which are located in alignment with the holes 202 of the first flange 201 of the first part 20. The fixing mount 5 has four extensions and each extension has a lug 50 formed on the distal end thereof. Each lug 50 has a hole 51. The first part 20 and the second part 21 each have a second flange 203/213 extending from the facing side thereof. Each of the second flanges 203, 213 has multiple holes 204/214. The separation plate 22 has multiple holes 220 which are located in alignment with the holes 204, 214 of the second flanges 203, 213 of the first and second parts 20, 21.
  • When assembling the vehicle headlight, the holes 51 of the two lugs 50 of the fixing mount 5 are located corresponding to the holes 202 of the first flange 201 of the first part 20 and the holes 31 of the shading plate 3. The holes 51 of the other two lugs 50 of the fixing mount 5 are located corresponding to the holes 212 of the first flange 211 of the second part 21. Two bolts 52 extend through the alignment holes 51 of the lugs 50 of the fixing mount 5, the holes 31 of the shading plate 3, and the holes 202 of the first flange 201 of the first part 20. Another two bolts 52 extend through the alignment holes 51 of the lugs 50 of the fixing mount 5 and the holes 212 of the first flange 201 of the second part 21. Therefore, the fixing mount 5, the shading plate 3 and the base 2 are connected. For the connection of the separation plate 22 and the base 2, multiple bolts 23 extend through the alignment holes 204, 214 of the second flanges 203, 213 of the first and second parts 20, 21 and the holes 220 of the separation plate 22. The fixing mount 5 is therefore connected to the front of the base 2, and a lens 53 is connected to the fixing mount 5.
  • The driving device 4 has an electro-magnetic valve 40 which has a shaft 41 and a spring 42 is mounted to the shaft 41. The shaft 41 is connected with a link 43 which is connected with a movable plate 44. The movable plate 44 is movably connected to the shading plate 3 so as to movably seal the notch 30 of the shading plate 3.
  • As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, when the rider wants to use the high beam, the electro-magnetic valve 40 is operated, the electro-magnetic valve 40 generates a force to move the shaft 41 to retract downward and the link 43 also moves downward, and the spring 42 is compressed. When the link 43 moves downward, the movable plate 44 is also moved downward and does not seal the notch 30 as shown in Fig. 6. Therefore, the light beams from the LEDs 223 on the top face and the bottom face of the separation plate 22 are reflected by the arched reflection surface constituted by the two reflectors 200, 210 and pass through the lens 53 so as to form the high beam.
  • When the rider wants to use the low beam, the electro-magnetic valve 40 is disabled, the spring 42 bounces back, and both of the shaft 41 and the link 43 move upward. The link 43 moves upward and drives the movable plate 44 to move upward to seal the notch 30 as shown in Fig. 5. Therefore, the light beams from the LEDs 223 on the bottom face of the separation plate 22 are blocked by the movable plate 44 and cannot pass through the lens 53. The light beams from the LEDs 223 on the top face of the separation plate 22 are reflected by the arched reflectors 210 200 and pass through the lens 53 so as to form the low beam.
  • The light beams generated from the LEDs 223 on both top face and bottom face of the separation plate 22 are evenly reflected by the reflectors and then refracted so that the vehicle headlight of the present invention provide even light and better illumination. The heat generated by the LEDs 223 on the separation plate 22 are conducted to the fins 221 and can be quickly brought away to keep the vehicle headlight to work at appropriate temperature.
  • While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
