Definitions

  • Vehicle headlights with a large range and strong local lighting are known from DE-PS 10 96 843.
  • a smaller reflector with a smaller focal length is inserted into a reflector of relatively large focal length, the focal point of which coincides with the focal point of the large reflector.
  • the large focal length reflector creates small spiral images which, thanks to their high light intensity, ensure far-reaching illumination of the street.
  • the reflector with the smaller focal length has a much smaller proportion of smaller helix images, so that its range is limited.
  • the reflector with a small focal length ensures better illumination of the near area in front of the vehicle and, due to the larger solid angle, shows better utilization of the light flux emitted by the light source.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a headlight with a large focal length reflector, the light exit opening is substantially rectangular and in which a second reflector with a smaller focal length is used to produce a better near light and in which the upper flattening and the transition between the flattening is shaded to the paraboloid surface without the need for a special cover.
  • the light-dark boundary of the light figure displayed on a wall in front of the headlight should be formed by the small spiral images falling out of the large focal length reflector, in order to get a sharp light-dark boundary and on the other hand, immediately below the Light-dark boundary to obtain a high light intensity.
  • the invention therefore relates to a vehicle headlight for low beam with a paraboloidal reflector with an approximately rectangular light exit opening created by an upper and lower horizontal flattening and a second smaller in this reflector arranged above the horizontal plane passing through the optical axis in the focal length and in the light exit opening Reflector, which forms a section of a paraboloid of revolution open to the horizontal central plane of the outer reflector and lies with its focal point at least approximately in the focal point of the outer reflector and just before or in the beginning of the incandescent lamp filament.
  • the invention is characterized in that the shadow edge formed by the lateral edge of the inner reflector above that through the optical axis of the outer re horizontal plane runs, but the transition area of the parabolic reflection surface to the upper horizontal flattening is shaded.
  • the circumferential angle of the smaller reflector must be increased.
  • the large focal length reflector 1 is mounted both horizontally and vertically in a receptacle firmly connected to the vehicle body.
  • This reflector 1, designed as a paraboloid of revolution, has a flattened area 2, 3 on its upper and lower side, so that a rectangular light emission results. Because of the large focal length of the reflector 1, it is necessary to insert an incandescent lamp holder 4 which projects far in the direction of the light exit so that the incandescent lamp 5 comes into the correct position for the focal point F of the reflector 1.
  • the incandescent lamp 5 is arranged in the reflector 1 in such a way that the incandescent filament 6 for the high beam with its forward-facing end is arranged in the focal point F and the incandescent filament 8 with a dipped cap 7 for the low beam is arranged in front of the focal point F.
  • a further reflector 9 is inserted into the reflector 1, the focal point of which lies at or approximately in the focal point F of the reflector 1.
  • This reflector 9 has a much smaller focal length than the reflector 1. It is pivotally attached with its apex region to the bulb holder 4 and is adjustably connected to the edge of the reflector 1 via a screw connection 10. By means of the screw connection 10, the reflector 9 can be adjusted and thus adjusted within the reflector 1.
  • the inner reflector 9 is only a section of a rotational paraboloid. It has an opening to the horizontal plane 12 passing through the optical axis 11.
  • the circumferential angle ⁇ of the inner reflector 9 is so large that the transition regions 14 of the parabolic reflection surface 13 to the upper flattened area 3 are shaded. However, the circumferential angle ⁇ is not so large that the reflection surface 13 is covered down to the horizontal plane 12. With such a far-reaching coverage, the large focal length reflector 1 would have no effect, at least for the side of the low beam which has a horizontally extending light-dark boundary 15.
  • the lateral edges 16, 17 of the inner reflector 9 rather run when viewed from the front into the reflector in such planes 18, 19 which pass through the optical axis 11 and to the horizontal plane 12 passing through the optical axis 11, an angle ⁇ of about 20 °.
  • the limiting or parking light 20 is introduced in the shaded area of the reflector 1.
  • the portions 21 and 22 of the light figure shown in FIG. 3 come from the large focal length reflector 1 and have a high light intensity.
  • the portion 23 of the light figure comes from the inner reflector 9. Due to the The smaller focal length of this reflector compared to the reflector 1, the spiral images are much larger. The smaller helix images from this small focal length reflector 9 lie below the cut-off line 24, 25 and become continuously larger at the bottom. This results in uniform illumination on the road from directly in front of the vehicle to approximately 80 m in front of the vehicle.
  • the inner reflector 9 In order to ensure that the portion 23 of the light figure does not go beyond the portions 21, 22 of the light figure, it is expedient to slightly incline the optical axis 11 of the inner reflector 9 with respect to the optical axis 11 of the outer reflector 1. In order to keep the dark hole 26 in the light figure as small as possible, it is also advantageous to arrange the inner reflector 9 in such a way that its focal point comes as close as possible to the end of the anti-glare filament 8 directed towards the high beam filament.
