Description

Optical module
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preamble according to claim 1, for the front lamp device of motor vehicle.
Background technology
This front lamp device is by US7, and 703,961B2 is known.
Also known wherein the first light source is for generation of the front lamp device of dipped beam.Formed light distributes and has the bright areas below the horizontal line of vehicle front, and this bright areas is by the terminator gauge of the side of being located thereon.At this, secondary light source is closed.
In order to produce distance light, except the first light source is also connected secondary light source, this secondary light source also illuminates the second area be positioned on terminator the illumination further expanded that therefore produces the front part of vehicle zone.Use gas-discharge lamp as the first light source at this, although it is comparatively expensive, the basis illumination not only wide but also bright for the front part of vehicle zone provides large luminous flux.Use inexpensive based on halogen bulb as secondary light source, its light points to a distant place than strong-focusing ground, and it illuminates the point-like second area, this point-like second area supplements not only wide but also bright dipped beam and is positioned at least in part outside first area, is positioned on the terminator of dipped beam.Do not need expensive gas-discharge lamp for this light function.
Also used in the last few years with semiconductor light sources as the headlamp of light emitting diode (LED) work for motor vehicle, wherein this light source also for so-called key light function as dipped beam and/or distance light.The US7 that beginning is mentioned, 703,961B2 has described this headlamp.
In addition, known by DE102004053320: the key light module that will have conventional light source combines with the dynamic follow-up steering lamp module of LED.
In addition, the known headlamp with LED dipped beam module, it has the distance light module in the halogen technology equally.This headlamp is for example used in third generation Toyota Jim Press.
The US7 mentioned by beginning, the known front lamp device of 703,961B2 is with different semiconductor light sources work, and its difference is, and it sends the light of different colours.Five different optical modules of this front lamp device are at subregion A, B, the C of this whole light distribution D that throws light on, as shown in the Fig. 3 in US '-961.Each optical module can have the first LED chip and the second LED chip.The first LED chip produces white light.The second LED chip is for changing the color of light of optical module.The second LED chip can be less than the first LED chip and send less luminous flux.The second LED chip can be provided for the shorter light of transmitting ratio the first LED chip wavelength.But to this alternately, the second LED chip also can be provided for sending than the longer light of the first LED chip wavelength.
The luminous flux of the first LED chip by the optical module that makes to set mutually reduces and the luminous flux of the second LED chip of the optical module that makes to set mutually increases, and according to environmental condition, changes the tone of light in different subregion A, B and C.
Subregion B (apart from the light distributed areas) at the intermediate distance place that is arranged in vehicle front, the mean wavelength of light is in the situation that mist occurs or snow increases, this is because the light of longer wavelength is not scattered more consumingly.In addition, near the photodistributed wider subregion C (diffuse light distribution zone) be positioned at vehicle front is bright by illumination, and its mean wavelength shortens for the situation that there is no mist or snow, in order to improve pedestrian, road edge, the first-class observability of kerb.
Be arranged in vehicle front subregion A (converging light distributed areas) at a distance, the mean wavelength of light shortens with higher speed when travelling night at this.This is that this is known as Pu Kenya (Purkinje)-phenomenon because amphiblestroid sensitivity wavelength for short when dim is higher.Similarly, on moist runway, by the operation of rain inductor or rain brush, determine.
Be positioned at vehicle front subregion A at a distance and form far field under theme of the present invention.
Therefore, US7,703,961B2 discloses a kind of front lamp device for motor vehicle, there is the first light source and secondary light source, the light that wherein this front lamp device is provided in front area that light with two light sources is created in motor vehicle distributes, this light distributes and has middle far field, the far field of this centre is bright by the illumination of two light sources, wherein the light of the light ratio secondary light source of the first light source distributes widelyr, and the light of secondary light source gathers on the far field of this centre, and wherein the first light source and secondary light source send the light of different colours.
According to this american documentation literature, the light wavelength of secondary light source that illuminates far field is shorter than the wavelength of the first light source.
Summary of the invention
Be different from this, the present invention proposes: the light of the first light source has the colour temperature higher than the light of secondary light source.In other words, in the present invention, the light of secondary light source is compared the light that need to more be similar to the blackbody radiator with lower temperature with the light of the blackbody radiator of higher temperature, and the light of the first light source is compared the light that need to more be similar to the blackbody radiator with higher temperature with the light of the blackbody radiator of lower temperature.
The degree of the colour effect that known colour temperature is light source.Colour temperature is defined as the temperature of black matrix, i.e. the temperature of Planckian radiator, and its alpha spectrum produces definite colour effect.It is partially red photochromic that relatively low colour temperature belongs to, and higher colour temperature belongs to partially blue white photochromic.Be different from this objective definition, ruddiness is also referred to as thermo-optical, and partially blue white light is also referred to as cold light.
Based on halogen bulb for example is provided on color and the about similar light of light of the blackbody radiator of 3200 ℃ of heat, and gas-discharge lamp is provided on color the similar light of light with the blackbody radiator that surpasses 5000 ℃ of heat.
White for the radiant light of the modern efficient LED of car lighting has obviously higher colour temperature (about 5200-6000 ° K) than traditional based on halogen bulb (about 3100-3400 ° K).
This radiant light therefore be cold and for indigo plant white.The color effects of gas-discharge lamp tends to this direction, but compares between White LED and based on halogen bulb.Running test shows: at least subjective color effects can produce, and in the LED headlamp of current up-to-the-minute following guiding (it also illuminates the far field in motor vehicle the place ahead), visual contrast is good not as the halogen headlamp in photodistributed far field.
And, in the LED headlamp, the euphorosia degree is better in Zhong He side, near region.
The invention has the advantages that these shortcomings of by change, throwing light on and eliminating or at least reduce usual LED headlamp of so trusting.But this improvement must be not limited to the LED headlamp, even but can still obtain in the gas discharge headlamp in a similar fashion.In addition, it is contemplated that, photodistributed change according to the present invention also is applied to photodistributed other subregions.
Advantage of the present invention is considered following situation: on retina near optical axis (being that the people wants the clear position focused on while watching thing), the quantity of blue responsive cellula visualis reduces with respect to amphiblestroid other positions.
This is compensation in the following way in the present invention, that is: in the present invention, for example dipped beam distributes and/or distance light be distributed in its whole extended distance take relatively that the light of high color temperature (for example about 5200-6000 ° K) produces and only in photodistributed far field the light corresponding to for example, light with relatively low colour temperature (colour temperature of halogen light) (being the light of colour temperature as 3100-3400 ° of K) distribute, but at least obvious hotter white light, to be superposeed.
Therefore thus, in photodistributed central authorities, the colour effect of blue and white obviously moves and improves visual contrast towards yellowish-white color.
Because the light of secondary light source is mainly used in revising color dot and the tone to a certain extent thus of the light of the first light source in the zone by two light illuminatings, therefore also realize that it only produces the little luminous flux of comparing with the luminous flux of the first light source.In a preferred embodiment, two light sources make the logical maximum 70% of light that the luminous flux of secondary light source is the first light source dimensionally.
