Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Scheinwerfer, insbesondere einen Hauptscheinwerfer für Kraftfahrzeuge nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1. Bei einem derartigen, beispielsweise aus der DE-OS 31 39 943 bekannten Scheinwerfer . wird das den Nahbereich der Fahrbahn ausleuchtende Teillichtbündel angehoben und gleichzeitig zur Seite aufgefächert. Hierdurch erreicht man eine intensivere Ausleuchtung der gesamten Fahrbahn, insbesondere im Nahbereich.The invention relates to a headlamp, in particular a main headlamp for motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1. In such a headlamp, for example known from DE-OS 31 39 943. the partial light beam illuminating the near area of the road is raised and simultaneously fanned out to the side. As a result, the entire roadway is illuminated more intensively, particularly in the vicinity.
Bei Scheinwerfern mit einer verhältnismäßig breiten und niedrigen Lichtaustrittsöffnung erzielt man mit der vorbeschriebenen Maßnahme nicht die gewünschte, intensive Ausleuchtung der Fahrbahn, und zwar sowohl die Ausleuchtung des Fernbereiches--als auch des Bereiches unmittelbar unterhalb der Helldunkelgrenze.In the case of headlights with a relatively wide and low light exit opening, the above-described measure does not achieve the desired, intensive illumination of the road, both the illumination of the long-range area and of the area immediately below the light-dark limit.
Mit dem Scheinwerfer, insbesondere dem Hauptscheinwerfer für Kraftfahrzeuge nach der Erfindung wird das im Stand der Technik dargelegte Problem mit technisch einfachen Mitteln im wesentlichen gelöst. Der erfindungsgemäße Zusatzsektor hat eine derart optische Geometrie und ist bezüglich dem Reflektor derart angeordnet, daß ein stark seitlich aufgefächertes und in vertikaler Richtung angehobenes Teillichtbündel entsteht bei noch ausreichender Ausleuchtung des Nahbereichs der Fahrbahn.With the headlamp, in particular the main headlamp for motor vehicles according to the invention, the problem set out in the prior art is essentially solved with technically simple means. The additional sector according to the invention has an optical geometry of this type and is arranged with respect to the reflector in such a way that a partial light beam that is fanned out laterally and raised in the vertical direction is produced with sufficient illumination of the near area of the road.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und in nachfolgender Figurenbeschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigen: Figur 1 die Innenansicht eines Rechteckscheinwerfers mit mehreren Sektoren unterschiedlicher Konfiguration in verkleinerter Darstellungä Figur 2 einen bezüglich dem Reflektor getrennt hergestellter Zusatzsektor in raumbildlicher, vergrößerter Darstellung; und Figur 3 die auf einen Meßschirm projizierten Teillichtbündel (Rohlicht) des Reflektors in Figur 1 mit einer Lichtquelle für das asymmetrische Abblendlicht.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description of the figures. FIG. 1 shows the interior view of a rectangular headlight with several sectors of different configurations in a reduced view; FIG. 2 shows an additional sector, which is produced separately with respect to the reflector, in a spatial, enlarged view; and FIG. 3 the partial light beam (raw light) of the reflector in FIG. 1 projected onto a measuring screen with a light source for the asymmetrical low beam.
Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielesDescription of the embodiment
Von einem das gemeinsame Fern- und Abblendlicht erzeugenden Hauptscheinwerfer für Kraftfahrzeuge zeigt Figur 1 die Innenansicht eines nur schematisch dargestellten Rechteckreflektors 10 mit einer oberen und unteren Begrenzungsfläche 8, 9 sowie einer Scheitelöffnung 14, in die eine nicht dargestellte Glühlampe mit einer Fernlichtwendel und einer Abblendlichtwendel einsetzbar ist. Die lichttechnisch wirksame Reflexionsfläche des Reflektors 10 bilden ein Fernbereichsektor 31 und zwei Nahbereichsektoren 12 sowie ein Zusatzsektor 13. Dieser ist bezüglich der vertikalen Mittelebene 18 symmetrisch angeordnet, die sich mit der horizontalen Mittelebene 17 in der optischen Achse 15 des Reflektors 10 schneidet. Die Begrenzungskanten 6 und 7 der Sektoren 11 bis 13 weisen zur optischen Achse 15.FIG. 1 shows the interior view of a headlight for motor vehicles which produces the common high and low beam, only schematically Rectangular reflector 10 with an upper and lower boundary surface 8, 9 and an apex opening 14 into which an incandescent lamp (not shown) with a high-beam filament and a low-beam filament can be inserted. The optically effective reflection surface of the reflector 10 is formed by a long-range sector 31 and two short-
Der Zusatzsektor 13 in Figur 2 ist konkaves Flächenteil eines Nichtrotations-Hohlkörpers, der in einer ersten Ausführung ein Paraboloid-Ellipsoid ist. Ein horizontaler Mittelschnitt 19 durch das Paraboloid-Ellipsoid ergibt eine Ellipse 19' mit einer ersten Halbachse 19" und einer zweiten zur optischen Achse 15 koaxialen zweiten Achse. Der vertikale Mittelschnitt 20 durch den Nichtrotations-Hohlkörper ist eine Parabel 20'. Der Zusatzsektor 13 hat eine konkave Reflexionsfläche 2J, deren Größe und Konfiguration von den Parametern des jeweiligen Scheinwerfers abhängen.The additional sector 13 in FIG. 2 is a concave surface part of a non-rotating hollow body, which in a first embodiment is a paraboloid ellipsoid. A horizontal
Der Reflektor 10 erzeugt auf einem Meßschirm gemäß Figur 3 folgende Rohlichtverteilung:
- Der
Fernbereichsektor 11 erzeugt zwei lichtstarke, weitreichende Teillichtbündel 11' nahe derVertikalmittelebene 18 und unmittelbar unterhalb einerHelldunkelgrenze 22, die das Abblendlichtbündel nach oben hin begrenzt. Die beidenNahbereichsektoren 12 des Reflektors 10 erzeugen zwei die Fahrbahn vor dem Kraftfahrzeug ausleuchtende Teillichtbündel 12'.
- The far-
range sector 11 generates two light-intensive, far-reaching partial light beams 11 'near thevertical center plane 18 and immediately below achiaroscuro boundary 22 which limits the low beam at the top. The two short-range sectors 12 of the reflector 10 generate two partial light beams 12 'illuminating the road ahead of the motor vehicle.
Der erfindungsgemäße Zusatzsektor 13 hingegen erzeugt ein Teillichtbündel 13', das die Fahrbahn zum einen über die gesamte Breite und zum andern die eigene Fahrbahnhälfte im Nahbereich ausleuchtet.The additional sector 13 according to the invention, on the other hand, produces a partial light beam 13 'which illuminates the roadway over the entire width on the one hand and the other half of the roadway in the close range on the other hand.
In einer Alternative ist der Zusatzsektor konkaver Flächenteil eines Polyellipsoides, dessen Horizontalmittelschnitt eine Ellipse ist, deren große Halbachse kürzer ist als die große Halbachse der Ellipse des Vertikalmittelschnittes. In einer zweiten Alternative gehört das konkave, den Zusatzsektor bildende Flächenteil zu einem Hohlkörper, dessen Horizontalmittelschnitt und Vertikalmittelschnitt (Hauptschnitte) kegelschnittähnliche Kurve höherer Ordnung sind.In an alternative, the additional sector is a concave surface part of a polyellipsoid, the horizontal central section of which is an ellipse, the large semiaxis of which is shorter than the large semiaxis of the ellipse of the vertical central section. In a second alternative, the concave surface part forming the additional sector belongs to a hollow body, the horizontal center section and vertical center section (main sections) of which are a higher-order conic section-like curve.
In einer anderen Alternative bilden den Zusatzsektor zwei Sektorhälften, die sich in der vertikalen Mittelebene stoßen und deren gemeinsame Stoßkante entweder eine von der optischen Achse des Reflektors wegweisende Kammlinie 22 oder eine zur optischen Achse weisende Tallinie 23 ist (Figur 2).In another alternative, the additional sector is formed by two sector halves which meet in the vertical central plane and whose common abutting edge is either a
