Description

The optical module of lighting assembly for vehicles
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of optical module of lighting device of motor vehicle.This optical module has: at least one is for the semiconductor light sources that emits beam; The main optical unit, it is used for making at least a portion constriction of the light that is sent by this at least one semiconductor light sources; Be subordinated to the shadow shield of this at least one semiconductor light sources; Cooling body, itself and this at least indirectly thermo-contact of at least one semiconductor light sources.
Background technology
In the prior art, known various lighting device for motor vehicle.Therefore be divided into headlight and car light.Headlight only is arranged on the positive position of vehicle.It is except by allowing other traffic participant see that automobile realizes the traffic safety, especially also for example be used for the form with luminous lamp, high beam or fog lamp, or with other form of headlight light function (for example self-reacting light distribute) arbitrarily, illuminate the track of vehicle front, improve sight line in order to be respectively the driver.Headlight can comprise at least one incandescent lamp, gas-discharge lamp or light emitting diode (LED) as light source.They can namely have towards the reflector of light source reflection according to principle of reflection work, and this reflector reflection is used for producing the light of expecting in motor vehicle the place ahead and is distributed by the light that light source sends.Alternative is, headlight also can be by the work of projection principle, wherein it has main optical unit (for example reflector or additional optical block learn), be used for making the light constriction that is sent by light source, and has a secondary optics unit (for example lens or reflector), be used for the image formation by rays that constriction got up in motor vehicle the place ahead, distribute with the light that produces expectation.
The effect of car light mainly is, by allowing other traffic participant see that automobile realizes traffic safety.Therefore, the front-mounted lamp in the positive position of motor vehicle for example is used as positioning lamp, flash lamp or daytime running lamps and is come usefulness, and the taillight in the motor vehicle tail scope for example is used as brake lamp, back light or flash lamp and is used.Side lamp can be used as side mark lamp (side marker lamp of so-called activation) and uses.Car light is used for realizing one or more lighting functions.Front-mounted lamp can be integrated in the headlight, but it also can constitute independent light fixture.Common integrated multiple lamp function in taillight.Car light has incandescent lamp or light emitting diode (LEDs) usually as light source, and preferably carries out work by principle of reflection.
When using light emitting diode as light source in lighting device, light emitting diode usually arranges and is fixed on the carrier element (for example electronic circuit board), and contacts conductively by this carrier element.This carrier element self can be arranged on the cooling body, the heat that this cooling body produces when being used for deriving the light emitting diode operation.
Be known that in addition this at least one light source has been equipped with shadow shield in lighting device.This shadow shield can constitute simple visual baffle, its not impact of photodistributed structure on producing, and when visual lighting device from the outside, prevent direct visual light source.But this shadow shield also can be configured and disposed like this, and namely it may affect photodistributed structure.Therefore for example may be considered that also that shadow shield has stopped the direct irradiation of light source outwardly, so light distributes and only produce from the light by main optical unit constriction or the projection of secondary optics unit, rather than also from the light that is directly sent by light source, produce.
The feature of the shadow shield of optical module especially is one or more in the following performance:
-this shadow shield is not arranged in the focus area of main optical unit or secondary optics unit,
-this shadow shield be positioned at light source near,
-this shadow shield covers the light that is directly sent by light source, does not namely have light to be sent by the reflecting surface of the main optical unit that constitutes reflector, and
-shadow shield especially covers the light that is roughly irradiated at direction of traffic by light source, or covering the light that is sent by light source, this light may deflect into after the reflecting surface reflection by the main optical unit that constitutes reflector in the scope that the light distribution may be disturbed.
PES-anti-dazzle plate structure in contrast, it is used for producing the photodistributed terminator that blocks, and is arranged in the focus area of main optical unit and secondary optics unit, and basically covers the part by the light of reflector reflection.The edge of PES-anti-dazzle plate structure, for example the leading edge of the PES-anti-dazzle plate structure of the top edge of the vertical PES-anti-dazzle plate structure of placing or horizontal positioned in the imaging of motor vehicle the place ahead, is used for producing photodistributed terminator by the secondary optics unit.
Optical module in the modern comfortable headlight should be propagated photodistributed specific region in special mode, satisfies the boundary condition that requires legally thereby light is distributed.Therefore in the optical module of headlight, for example in photodistributed discrete point, in the measurement screen of putting with the optical module interval, need specific minimum and maximum illumination intensity value, for example above the photodistributed terminator that blocks.In order to reach the specific maximum illumination intensity value that allows in photodistributed discrete point, shadow shield consists of so targetedly and is arranged in the light path, namely blocks the light that a part is pointed to these discrete points.May be considered that a plurality of such shadow shields are arranged in the light path of optical module.
For the light that the blocks distribution (for example dipped headlights, fog lamp) that produces headlight or the variable light distribution of blocking, in the light path of headlight anti-dazzle plate structure can be set, it has blocked the light that sent by at least one light source or at least by the part of the light of main optical unit constriction.Because such anti-dazzle plate structure usually be applied in projection module (so-called projection-type system, PES) in, so they are also referred to as the PES-anti-dazzle plate structure.This anti-dazzle plate structure can constitute flat shadow shield element, and it is oriented in the horizontal plane that comprises optical axial, and is perhaps vertical with it.This anti-dazzle plate structure has the edge, and this edge can be by the secondary optics unit in the imaging of motor vehicle the place ahead, as the photodistributed terminator that blocks.The trend at this edge can change, to reach the variable light distribution of adaptation situation.But this anti-dazzle plate structure is constructed to get integrated moving, by moving on to more or less in the light path, can reach the variable light distribution of adaptation situation.
But also may be considered that, need not in light path, to use extra anti-dazzle plate structure, just can produce the light that blocks and distribute.For this reason, the main optical unit, namely for example reflector or the additional optical block learn that is subordinated at least one light emitting diode can consist of like this, be that they need not other aid and just can make the such constriction of light, so that it can be directly or indirectly by after the secondary optics cell projection, produce the light that blocks and distribute.
From DE10 2,007 050 924 A1 for example known a kind of constitute lighting module, be applied in the optical module in the front headlight of motor vehicle, it comprises light emitting diode (LED) as light source.The light that is sent by LED arrives on the main optical unit that form is reflector, and by its direction reflection towards the secondary optics unit that constitutes lens.Be provided with the PES-anti-dazzle plate structure in the light path between main optical unit and secondary optics unit.This LED directly has been equipped with the cooling body that is used for deriving heat by loading plate, and this LED is fixed on this loading plate.The impact of this lighting module is the part that is called the integrated component in optics storehouse according to the optics (especially reflector, shadow shield and lens) of irradiation performance.
At this, the shortcoming of known optical module is, light emitting diode is lower in off position can see inside into optical module against the light exit direction basically when visual from the outside.This point can produce extreme interference effect, and visually especially so not attractive in appearance.Under on-state, the light that is directly sent by LED may make oncoming traffic participant dazzle.In addition, in the installation frame of optical module, require the optical unit storehouse aspect LED-cooling body-unit, to carry out numerous and diverse layout, locating and orienting.In by the document, in the known optical module shadow shield is not set.
Because structure space available in the modern optical module is less, and because consequent reflector size less, so optical module is aspect optical element layout, locating and orienting or adjustment to each other and very responsive aspect the light source.This is particularly useful for the layout of shadow shield aspect light source.The tolerance that allows is defined very littlely.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the objective of the invention is, construct like this and improve the optical module with shadow shield, be about to shadow shield and be down to minimum with respect to the expense that light source carries out layout, locating and orienting or adjustment.In addition, this optical module should be able to be made in simple and cheap mode in bulk.
In order to realize this purpose, from the optical module of aforementioned type, the present invention's suggestion, in optical module, at least a portion of shadow shield is the integrated combination part of cooling body.By in the focus area that light source is arranged on the main optical unit or be arranged on focus near, the light that produces optical module distributes.This main optical unit preferably constitutes reflector.The main direction of illumination of semiconductor light sources tilts or vertically extends towards the light exit direction, in this light exit direction, produce photodistributed light by emphasis leave optical module.This shadow shield preferably be arranged on light source near.
Cooling body with this at least a portion of shadow shield can be made by metal or plastics, and is installed in front headlight of motor vehicle or the automotive lamp.Shadow shield is arranged on the cooling body like this, and namely it is subordinated to semiconductor light sources or one group of semiconductor light sources in function aspects at least.By this at least one semiconductor light sources is fixed on the cooling body at accurate location, also can automatically determines shadow shield about the relative position of light source, and no longer need individually adjustment.
The present invention is with such basis that is contemplated that, i.e. shadow shield moulding concrete with it irrespectively direct and cooling body is formed in unique member.At this advantageously, when making this cooling body-shadow shield-parts, shadow shield with respect to for the installation site of this at least one semiconductor light sources setting arranges, therefore can omit afterwards shadow shield installation and adjustment.
By two component integrations by in the optical module of the present invention, can optimize the heat transmission between cooling body and the shadow shield.By being integrated in the shading element in the cooling body, can enlarging the surface of cooling body, and therefore improve its cooling effect.In addition, can avoid forming the gap between shadow shield and cooling body by the present invention, as may occurring when these two parts are made separately in the prior art, and light may ooze out with the light of not expecting by this gap.Needn't make individually again shadow shield now; Required mould and the quantity of installing component also can advantageously reduce.This point has reduced manufacturing and the installation cost of optical module significantly.
Advantageously, shadow shield is arranged in the optical module like this, and namely this shadow shield is arranged on the place ahead of this at least one semiconductor light sources at the direction of visual lines of being seen by export-oriented optical module or lighting device inside.This semiconductor light sources preferably comprises one or more light emitting diodes.By this layout, at least to a great extent, preferably avoid directly visual on semiconductor light sources from the outside fully.Avoid in addition, the direct light of semiconductor light sources can be used as a photodistributed part towards external exposure.Shadow shield can be designed to monomer or many bodies, wherein only has unique parts of shadow shield to link to each other with cooling body in the embodiment of many bodies.Other parts of shadow shield (for example be used for changing photodistributed movable part) are for example fixing or be arranged on other parts of optical module or lighting device.In mounted optical module, these single part preferred addition are to shadow shield.
In pressing optical module of the present invention, shadow shield preferably is arranged in the light path of optical module.Before light was run into the main optical unit, this shadow shield can be by its moulding and the layout irradiation conical surface (Abstrahlkegel) that for example affects the light that is sent by this at least one semiconductor light sources.Perhaps, before light arrived the secondary optics unit that motor vehicle the place ahead maybe may exist, this shadow shield can affect the light by main optical unit constriction.At last, before light is run into the track in motor vehicle the place ahead or is surveyed screen, shadow shield also can affect sent by the secondary optics unit, be used for light in the imaging of motor vehicle the place ahead.At this, shadow shield can affect the light distribution (especially illumination intensity distribution) that is produced by optical module.Shadow shield especially can have the light that is distributed and to be consisted of by light for must blocking to property, and therefore less illumination intensity can occur in the photodistributed scope that may run into the light that blocks.
For example hang down the photodistributed maximum illumination intensity value that allows in the discrete point above the photodistributed terminator that blocks by this way.At this, for example refer to the critical value that required by the law maker, wherein for example in predefined angle and predefined spacing the status requirement with respect to optical module in light distributes, have special illumination.This point for example is used for illuminating better the traffic indication board on the edge, track.
Certainly also possible is that shadow shield is arranged on the outside of the light path of optical module, and has the function of pure visual baffle.The effect of shadow shield in this function be basically, hides semiconductor light sources when visual from the outside.
Especially advantageously, the main optical unit has reflector in the preferred structural scheme of optical module, and at least a portion of shadow shield and reflector are the integrated parts of cooling body.Therefore, saved the individual cost that is used for independent manufacturing, installation and adjustment reflector.In this structural scheme, when cooling body-shadow shield of making combination-reflector parts, can guarantee that reflector is with respect to the high position accuracy of shadow shield.
In pressing optical module of the present invention, this at least one semiconductor light sources directly or by carrier element (for example electronic circuit board) is fixed on the cooling body, therefore can guarantee the good transfer of heat between these two parts.At this, preferably realize conductive contact by carrier element.Certainly also may be considered that, directly realize conductive contact at cooling body, for example by bonding line.Also possible at this is that the carrier element that is used for this at least one semiconductor light sources also is the part of cooling body.At this, carrier element for example can be injection-moulded on the cooling body that is made of plastics.
In other preferred structural scheme of optical module, cooling body is made with casting die together with its integrated component.This means, cooling body and be integrated in its inside parts made by metal (for example aluminium or zinc) or plastics.When using plastics as material, casting method also is feasible.In die casting or casting method, cooling body is made with less tolerance variations simply in large quantity at an easy rate together with its all integrated components.After making the integrated component of cooling body together with it, the vitals of optical module has just made in unique job step, does not wherein need these parts of adjustment or only need to come adjustment with quite little degree.Therefore, especially make the tolerance that connects each other together that minimum is down in the impact of optical module.
In addition advantageously, shadow shield has the performance of reflection ray.Therefore, the light of this at least one semiconductor light sources is reflexed on the main optical unit (for example reflector) by shadow shield, and the light that therefore is shaped targetedly by the main optical unit only is used for producing light and distributes.At this, the absorption of light on shadow shield can be down to minimumly, and improve the efficient of optical module.This means that the light that all light that sent by this at least one semiconductor light sources all can be used to produce expectation basically distributes.
In addition advantageously, shadow shield is lighttight.When observing the inside of optical module from the outside, this point can realize that the visual protection of this at least one semiconductor light sources hides.Certainly also may be considered that, shadow shield at least part of or at least the light approach axis be printing opacity or local transparent.Therefore, provide the instrument that is used for satisfying critical illumination value (Overheadbeleuchtungswerten).The surface of the shadow shield of local transparent can consist of targetedly like this, and namely measurement point shines with the intensity of expecting or predesignate for the reason of statutory rules.In addition, for example also possiblely be, light can penetrate shadow shield from this at least one semiconductor light sources on the one hand, light is run on reverse direction on the shadow shield and by rights reflection from the outside but then, and the light source that therefore is hidden in the shadow shield back is sightless by the mode of Venice mirror (venezianischen Spiegel) as expectation.
