The invention also relates to a vehicle having at least one such lighting device. The pivotable actuating element is connected here to a load-guiding element, which is connected to a lighting device, which in turn is connected to the vehicle. This results in a load path, by means of which the lighting device is reinforced with respect to the corresponding forces generated by the actuation of the operating element and along which said forces are dissipated.

Description

Lighting device for a vehicle having a pivotable operating element
Technical Field
The invention relates to a lighting device for a vehicle having a pivotable operating element, in which a force acting on a load-guiding element is transmitted via a lighting element into the body of the vehicle. The invention also relates to a vehicle having at least one such lighting device.
Background
Lighting devices with at least visually integrated operating elements are known, for example, on the tailgate of a vehicle. The lighting device is designed such that it is guided as close as possible to the operating element. The actuating element is usually attached to the outer side of the rear cover plate, for example, by means of an aluminum die-cast adapter, which is press-fitted into the outer side of the rear cover plate and is connected thereto.
For manufacturing reasons, a certain distance between the operating element and the lighting device cannot be avoided. The reason is that the outer side plate of the back cover cannot suddenly disappear to form a recess accommodating the operating element, but rather such a recess can only be formed slowly by the raised edge. The necessary height or depth of the lighting device, together with the required lighting means, for being able to be guided directly on the operating device, is therefore missing immediately around the operating device. This disturbs or at least prevents the visual integration of the operating device in the lighting device. It is difficult to form true integration in this way.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore necessary to fasten or connect the operating element to and/or in the lighting device, wherein a complete and visual integration is ensured. Since, as a result of the actuation of the operating device, the load must be absorbed by the operating device and transmitted to the vehicle, the invention proposes a lighting device having an operating device in which the load transmission is ensured and at the same time the lighting element can be guided to the operating device in a close proximity.
The object of the invention is achieved by a lighting device for a vehicle, having
A housing, at least one light glass enclosing the lighting device outwards and at least one lighting means arranged between the housing and the light glass,
-a pivotable operating element, and
-a load guiding element, wherein,
the pivotable operating element is at least connected in a load-conducting manner to a load-conducting element, which is connected in a load-conducting manner to a lighting device and which is connected in a load-conducting manner to at least one component of the body of the vehicle.
A preferred embodiment of the lighting device according to the invention for a vehicle is characterized by at least one of the following features:
the pivotable operating element has a surface shape, in particular in the form of a logo;
the load guiding element has a threaded connection point for connection to both the lighting device and the body of the vehicle;
the load guiding element is made of steel or fiber-reinforced plastic;
the load directing element is at least partially disposed on an outer surface of the lighting device;
at least one reflector and/or at least one decorative element is arranged adjacent to the pivotable operating element;
the distance between the pivotable operating element and the adjacent light chamber, the adjacent reflector and/or the adjacent trim part of the lighting device is less than 75 mm;
the lighting device has a cover which at least partially covers the load-guiding element and/or the connection point of the load-guiding element;
the housing of the lighting device has a ribbed portion at least in the connecting region.
The object of the invention is achieved by a vehicle having at least one lighting device according to the invention, wherein the pivotable operating element of the at least one lighting device is designed to open and close a front and/or rear flap of the vehicle.
The lighting device according to the invention for a vehicle comprises a housing, at least one light pane enclosing the lighting device to the outside, and at least one lighting means arranged between the housing and the light pane, a pivotable actuating element and a load-guiding element, wherein the pivotable actuating element is connected at least to the load-guiding element in a load-guiding manner, the load-guiding element is connected to the lighting device in a load-guiding manner, and the lighting device is connected to at least one component of the body of the vehicle in a load-guiding manner.
The lighting device is composed of a housing and at least one light pane, which encloses the lighting device to the outside. Between the housing and the at least one light pane, in each case a light chamber is formed in which at least one lighting means is arranged. The optical cell is essentially a cavity constructed between the housing and the at least one optical glass.
At least one lighting device is arranged between the housing and the at least one light glass. Preferably, at least one lighting device is also arranged in each light chamber. The illumination device may be constituted by one or more LEDs (light emitting diodes), one or more optical conductors and/or other suitable light sources.
In this way, for example, an illumination strip for a vehicle, in particular for use on a front or rear panel of a vehicle, can be formed by the illumination device. Such a lighting strip can be designed particularly preferably as an SBBR (parking brake flashing rear light).
The lighting device also has a pivotable operating element. The operating element is designed for actuating a component or an element connected to the operating element by pivoting or rotating about an arbitrary axis. In the simplest and merely exemplary case, the lighting device can be arranged as a lighting strip of a vehicle on a tailgate of the vehicle and a pivotable operating element for opening and closing the tailgate. The pivotable operating element is in this case connected to the closing mechanism of the tailgate and can act on said closing mechanism in such a way that the tailgate can be opened or closed. The pivotable operating element can for this purpose be pressed, pulled, lifted or otherwise held and moved by the user.
It is customary to expect that when actuating the pivotable actuating element on the tailgate, the user also uses this actuating element to accelerate or at least guide the opening of the tailgate. In this case, in addition to the forces occurring when the operating element is pivoted, other forces which have to be transmitted to the sheet metal of the tailgate act. This also applies in a general manner to the lighting device according to the invention for other use cases. The forces generated by the actuation must be dissipated via the lighting device in which or on which the pivotable actuating element is arranged.
According to the invention, the lighting device has a load-guiding element for this purpose. The load guiding element serves to stiffen the lighting device so as to be able to withstand the aforementioned forces. The load-guiding element can be arranged in a circumferential manner around the pivotable actuating element, as a lateral holding device for the pivotable actuating element, as an integral component of the pivotable actuating element or as a gripping element for the pivotable actuating element. It is important that the pivotable operating element is connected at least to the load guiding element. Other fastening points of the operating element to other elements of the lighting device are additionally possible. The connection between the pivotable actuating element and the load-guiding element can be realized, for example, by a form-fitting construction, but also by a threaded connection to one another, wherein other possible ways of connection and fastening are clearly within the scope of the invention.
The load guiding element is connected to the lighting device, for example to a housing of the lighting device. The lighting device is in turn connected to at least one component of the body of the vehicle. The at least one component may be, in particular, an outer panel, for example, an outer panel of a tailgate of a vehicle, but may also be an insert can (einsatztipf), an inner panel or another body component, which is formed or located in a panel.
Each of the connections is a load-guiding connection, i.e. a load path is formed from the pivotable operating element, via the load-guiding element, the lighting device and to the body of the vehicle. As already mentioned with reference to the connection of the pivotable operating element to the load guiding element, the connection of the load guiding element to the lighting device, in particular to the housing of the lighting device, can be realized by a form-fitting construction, but also by gluing or screwing to one another, wherein other possible connections and fastenings are clearly within the scope of the invention.
With a lighting device designed in this way, forces acting on the vehicle as a result of actuating the pivotable actuating element can be transmitted in a targeted manner along the load-guiding element via the lighting device to the body of the vehicle, without excessively high local loads acting on the lighting device and causing damage thereto or without the need to design the lighting device more robust.
In a first preferred embodiment of the invention, the pivotable actuating element has a surface profile. The term "surface shaping" is to be understood here to mean that the surface of the actuating element is provided with structures applied thereto and/or arranged therein, at least regionally applied coatings, elements which are glued or otherwise applied to the surface, and/or similar structures, by means of which the region of the surface of the pivotable actuating element is distinguished from the actual surface of the actuating element. Such a surface shaping is not only used for shaping purposes, but rather makes it possible to simplify the gripping and handling of the pivotable operating element and to make it more comfortable and safer, since it makes it possible for the pivotable operating element to provide a better grip or grip for the user.
In particular, a surface shaping in the form of a logo can be provided. The identification is, for example, an identification of the vehicle manufacturer. The identification mark can be provided, for example, as a surface contour of the pivotable operating element, i.e., it can be displayed on the operating element by means of a suitable surface contour. This not only improves the feel of the operating element as described, but also conveys the attribute of the brand. For the user, a more extensive brand experience is created here, since the user also touches the symbol when he actuates the pivotable operating element, so that a connection to the brand of the vehicle is thus felt.
The pivotable actuating element can naturally also be designed completely in the form of a marking.
A second embodiment of the invention provides that the load-guiding element has a screw connection for connecting both the lighting device and the body of the vehicle. It should be realized thereby that the load-guiding element can be connected not only to the pivotable actuating element on one side and to the lighting device on the other side, but also to the body of the vehicle or to a component of the body of the vehicle. These connection points are preferably designed as threaded connection points, by means of which the load-guiding element can be connected to the body of the vehicle through the lighting device. By means of such a screw connection, a load path can be formed directly from the load-guiding element into the body of the vehicle via the screw connection, so that the effect on the lighting device itself is minimized. Additionally, threaded connection points or fastening points can be provided which only allow fastening of the load-guiding element to the lighting device.
The load guiding element is preferably made of steel or fiber-reinforced plastic. The load guiding element may be completely or partially made of steel or fiber-reinforced plastic. A high stability against the forces acting can be achieved by the steel, and in addition, in the case of a design made of steel, the load-guiding element can be constructed with a low construction height. The use of fiber-reinforced plastics enables a lighter design of the load guiding element, wherein high stability and load capacity can also be provided here. In both cases, the shape and the dimensioning of the load-guiding element can be optimized by means of an analysis of the load distribution occurring during the actuation of the pivotable operating element.
In a further embodiment of the lighting device according to the invention, the load guiding element is arranged at least partially on an outer surface of the lighting device.
The load-guiding element can in principle also be arranged substantially in the interior of the lighting device and be fixed, for example, from the inside on the housing of the lighting device. In this case, a receiving region for the pivotable operating element can be formed on the lighting device, in which receiving region, for example, no light pane is provided. The pivotable operating element can be inserted into this region and fixed to the housing of the lighting device, for example. The load-guiding element is surrounded by the operating device, the housing and, if necessary, the one or more surrounding light glasses.
However, it can also be provided that the load-guiding element is arranged at least partially on a surface of the lighting device, wherein this can refer to an outer surface of the housing and/or of the light pane. The outer surface of the lighting device is the surface of the lighting device facing away from the light chamber, wherein the outer surface of the housing can be directed completely toward the body of the vehicle.
In this embodiment, it is provided that the load-guiding element is arranged completely on one or more of the surfaces, i.e. that the lighting device is reinforced from the outside. However, it can also be provided that the load-guiding element is arranged only partially on the outer surface of the lighting device, while the remaining region of the load-guiding element is arranged in the interior of the lighting device. This can be achieved, for example, by the load-guiding element being guided through or out of the lighting device in a region-wise manner. This makes it possible to achieve a better adaptation to the actual load path and also to simplify the fastening of the lighting device to the vehicle, and also to improve the pre-production.
This variant is particularly preferably suitable for the combination with a screw connection point, which makes possible a connection with the lighting device and the body of the vehicle.
It is also preferred if at least one reflector and/or at least one decorative element is arranged adjacent to the pivotable operating element. The term "decorative element" is to be understood here as a shaping element, for example a decorative strip or the like. The term "adjacent" means in this connection that the at least one reflector and/or the at least one decorative element are arranged directly beside, below and/or above the pivotable operating element with reference to the line of sight of the observer. The at least one reflector and/or the at least one trim part can also surround the pivotable operating element in regions.
In the prior art, it is often necessary to provide such elements with a certain recess, also in or on the body of the vehicle, so that here a direct arrangement on or next to the pivotable operating element can be achieved, only with the distance resulting from the production. However, if at least one reflector and/or at least one trim part is arranged in or on the lighting device according to the invention adjacent to the pivotable operating element, the at least one reflector and/or the at least one trim part can be guided to the pivotable operating element. This allows not only a visual integration, but also a real integration into the lighting device.
A further preferred embodiment provides that the distance between the pivotable operating element and the adjacent light chamber, the adjacent reflector and/or the adjacent decorative element of the lighting device is less than 75 mm. In the lighting device according to the invention, the actual and visual integration of the pivotable operating element in the lighting device is of great importance. The operating element can be arranged in a receptacle in or on the lighting device as has already been explained by way of example. One or more of the already described light chambers, at least one reflector and/or decorative elements extend here around the pivotable operating element or at least in regions adjacent to the pivotable operating element.
In order to enable a more clear integration of the pivotable operating element into the lighting device which is clearly visible to the observer, the distance between the operating element and the adjacent light chamber, the adjacent reflector and/or the adjacent trim part should not exceed a dimension of 75 mm. The distance may be arranged and maintained locally or locally in a limited manner with respect to one or more adjacent light chambers, the at least one adjacent reflector and/or the at least one adjacent trim part. Preferably, a symmetry is sought that promotes the user perception in terms of the integration of the pivoting operating element in the lighting device.
Since the one or more light panes of the lighting device have a certain transparency, a further embodiment of the invention provides that the lighting device has a cover which at least partially covers the load-guiding element and/or the connection point of the load-guiding element. Such a cover can be applied to the lighting device as a cover, preferably a vehicle-colored cover, on the outside. However, the cover can also be arranged in the interior of the lighting device in such a way that the load-guiding element and/or the connecting point are at least partially not visible from the outside by an observer. The connection points here include both the connection of the pivotable actuating element to the load-guiding element and the connection point of the load-guiding element to the lighting device. For reasons of design, other elements and/or regions of the lighting device can naturally also be provided with such or other covering parts. The cover is not only used for styling purposes or for aesthetic purposes, but also prevents undesirable reflections or reflections in the interior of the lighting device, which would cause irritation to the observer and in particular to other traffic participants, due to light entering or being provided by the lighting means or lighting means.
As an alternative or in addition to the aforementioned embodiments, the housing of the lighting device can have a ribbed area at least in the connecting region. The connection region is understood here to be the region of the lighting device in which the connection point to the lighting device is located. This includes the connection of the load guiding element to the lighting device, but also the connection of the lighting device to the body of the vehicle. The ribbing of the surface increases the rigidity of the surface and is more effective in this case than a purely increased wall thickness. In the ribbed region, a rib structure is formed or applied in the respective region, i.e. with surface eversions which extend mainly in the longitudinal direction. This further increases the stability of this region without having to adapt the material thickness of the housing over a large area. The material thickness in the remaining area of the lighting device can be made smaller instead. The ribbing may additionally also achieve shaping effects.
In addition to the lighting device, a vehicle is claimed, which has at least one lighting device according to the invention, wherein the pivotable operating element of the at least one lighting device is designed to open and close a front and/or rear flap of the vehicle. The front and/or rear cover of the vehicle can have a lighting device with a pivotable operating element, in which the load guidance due to forces when operating the pivotable operating element can be optimized by means of the load guiding element. In this case, a practical and visual integration of the operating element into the lighting device is ensured.
The pivotable operating element can be integrated into the lighting device by means of the lighting device according to the invention, since the forces resulting from the operation of the pivotable operating element are derived from the load-guiding element. Such a load guiding element can be integrated into a lighting device in a simple and cost-effective manner. One or more light chambers of the lighting device can therefore be guided to the operating element, so that complete, also visual integration can be achieved.
The various embodiments of the invention mentioned in the present application can advantageously be combined with one another if not stated otherwise individually.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a vehicle 40 having an exemplary embodiment of a lighting device 10 according to the present invention having a pivotable operating element 20. The lighting device 10 is part of an SBBR light on the rear deck 42 of the vehicle 40. A similar lighting device 10 may be provided for a front cover (not shown) of the vehicle 40.
The lighting device 10 is formed by two light glasses 14.1 and 14.2 and a housing (not shown), wherein each light glass 14.2 and 14.2 encloses a light chamber 16.1 and 16.2 with the housing. At least one illumination device 18.1, 18.2 (shown in fig. 3) is arranged in each light chamber 16.1, 16.2.
As can be seen from fig. 1, the actuating element 20 has a surface contour 22 in the form of the applicant's logo.
Fig. 2(a) and 2(b) make it possible to observe the interior of the lighting device 10, to be precise the operating element 20, which is shown in the pivoted position and is connected to the load guiding element 30. The load guiding element 30 is made of steel and in fig. 2(a) has a screw connection point 32 for connection to the housing 12 of the lighting device 10, while in fig. 2(b) has a screw connection point 32.1 for connection to the housing 12 and a screw connection point 32.2 for connection to the housing 12 and to an outer side plate of a rear cover 42 of a component of a body 44 of a vehicle (not shown).
The lighting device 10 is naturally connected to the outer side plate 44 of the rear deck 42 of the vehicle 40. This forms a load path, so that when actuating the actuating element 20, forces are transmitted from the actuating element 20 via the load-guiding element 30 to the housing 12 of the lighting device 10 and to the outer panel 44 of the vehicle 40.
In an alternative embodiment, the load-guiding element 30 can also be mounted on the outside of the housing 12 and thus toward the vehicle panel 44 in order to reinforce the housing 12 and thus the lighting device 10 in the connecting region.
Fig. 3 shows a plan view, in which a pivotable actuating element 20 with a marking as a surface contour 22 is connected to a load-guiding element 30. This plan view essentially corresponds to the perspective view shown in fig. 2(b), wherein the actuating element 20 is not pivoted here. In this illustration, light conductors 18.1, 18.2 are shown, which are arranged in the light chamber to the right and to the left of the pivotable operating element 20 and by means of which light propagates in the lighting device 10.
In addition, a section a-a is indicated, which is shown in fig. 4. In fig. 4, the light conductors 18.1, 18.2, the light panes 14.1, 14.2 and the light chambers 16.1, 16.2 can be seen in addition to the pivotable operating element 20 and the load-guiding element 30. Furthermore, the lighting device 10 has, on both sides, a cover 46 in the vehicle color, which covers the lighting device 10 at least partially in its lower half.
It is also obvious that, due to the design of the lighting device 10 according to the invention, a distance d of less than 75 mm between the light chambers 16.1, 16.2 and the pivotable operating element 20 can be achieved.
