1. An adaptive headlamp device comprising:
a light emitting unit capable of emitting light rays forwardly; and
a lens located in front of the light emitting unit, and having a light-emergent surface that is located at a front end thereof, a rear end that defines a light-incident opening, a light-incident surface that is recessed from the rear end and that defines a light-incident space facing the light emitting unit and communicating with the light-incident opening such that the light rays emitted by the light emitting unit enter the light-incident space through the light-incident opening, and a light-reflecting surface that extends forwardly from the rear end and that surrounds the light-incident surface, when the light rays emitted by the light emitting unit encounter the light-reflecting surface, the light rays reflecting off the light-reflecting surface and traveling to the light-emergent surface, the light-reflecting surface including a first surface portion and a second surface portion that extend forwardly from the rear end and that are respectively located at upper and lower sides of the light-incident surface, a third surface portion and a fourth surface portion that extend forwardly from the rear end and that are respectively located at left and right sides of the light-incident surface, and a plurality of interconnecting surface portions that are separated from each other, each of the interconnecting surface portions interconnecting two adjacent ones of the first, second, third, and fourth surface portions, each of the first, second, third, and fourth surface portions being unsmooth.
