Definitions
- the invention relates to a headlight for low beam or fog light of motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the light-dark boundary which is created by imaging the diaphragm edge, has a color fringe formed by the color decomposition of the white light.
- a low beam or fog light with such a color fringe does not correspond to the legal regulations on motor vehicle headlights, because only white light is permitted for this; this could be achieved with a three-part lens that has two converging lenses and a diffusing lens with spherically ground lens surfaces.
- the three-part design of the lens and the total of six ground lens surfaces require a large amount of technical work to manufacture the headlamp.
- the problem of the technical production outlined in the aforementioned prior art is solved in a simple manner in that the Objective consists of only two lenses and the required aspherical lens surface is already created by the molding tool during the pressing process.
- the two spherical surfaces of the scattering lens and the spherical surface of the converging lens can be both pressed and ground, with the grinding of any spherical surface which is part of a spherical surface being simple.
- the pressed aspherical surface of the converging lens can be calculated and manufactured in such a way that a light-dark boundary that is too high in contrast is avoided and sufficient illumination of the room to be illuminated is achieved; one increases the driving safety of the motor vehicle driver and the other makes the traffic signs more clearly recognizable.
- a headlight for low beam or fog light of motor vehicles has a reflector 10, the vertical meridian section 11 and horizontal meridian section 12 of which are higher-order intersection curves, for example ellipses, parabolas or conic section-like curves.
- a luminous element 13 is arranged in the region of the optical axis 14 of the headlight, and in the direction of the rays reflected by the reflector 10, ie in front of the light exit opening 15 of the
- the reflector 10 is an aperture 16, the optically effective edge 17 forms the light-dark boundary of the light beam.
- the diffusion lens 18 has a flat surface 20 and a spherical surface 21 which is part of a spherical surface. Both surfaces 20, 21 are created by grinding a pressed blank.
- the converging lens 19 consists of pressed glass, the aspherical surface 23 of which has already been pressed, ie does not require a subsequent grinding process; their spherical surface 22, however, is ground.
- the concave surface 21 of the diffusing lens 18 and the convex surface 22 of the converging lens 19 are arranged adjacent.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Scheinwerfer für Abblendlicht oder Nebellicht von Kraftfahrzeugen nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1. Die Helldunkelgrenze, die durch die Abbildung der Blendenkante entsteht, weist einen durch die Farbzerlegung des weißen Lichtes gebildeten Farbsaum auf. Ein Abblendlicht oder Nebellicht mit einem derartigen Farbsaum entspricht jedoch nicht den Gesetzesvorschriften über Kraftfahrzeug-Scheinwerfer, weil hierfür nur weißes Licht zugelassen ist; dieses ließe sich mit einem dreiteiligen Objektiv verwirklichen, daß zwei Sammellinsen und eine Streulinse mit sphärisch geschliffenen Linsenflächen aufweist. Die Dreiteiligkeit des Objektivs und die insgesamt sechs geschliffenen Linsenflächen erfordern jedoch einen großen technischen Herstellaufwahd des Scheinwerfers.The invention relates to a headlight for low beam or fog light of motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1. The light-dark boundary, which is created by imaging the diaphragm edge, has a color fringe formed by the color decomposition of the white light. A low beam or fog light with such a color fringe does not correspond to the legal regulations on motor vehicle headlights, because only white light is permitted for this; this could be achieved with a three-part lens that has two converging lenses and a diffusing lens with spherically ground lens surfaces. However, the three-part design of the lens and the total of six ground lens surfaces require a large amount of technical work to manufacture the headlamp.
Mit dem Scheinwerfer für Abblendlicht oder Nebellicht von Kraftfahrzeugen nach der Erfindung wird das im vorerwähnten Stand der Technik dargelegte Problem des technischen Herstellaufwandes in einfacher Weise dadurch gelöst, daß das Objektiv nur aus zwei Linsen besteht und die erforderliche asphärische Linsenfläche bereits durch das Formwerkzeug beim Preßvorgang entsteht. Die beiden sphärischen Flächen der Streulinse und die sphärische Fläche der Sammellinse können sowohl gepreßt als auch geschliffen sein, wobei sich das Schleifen jeder sphärischen Fläche, die Teil einer Kugeloberfläche ist, einfach gestaltet,With the headlamp for low beam or fog light of motor vehicles according to the invention, the problem of the technical production outlined in the aforementioned prior art is solved in a simple manner in that the Objective consists of only two lenses and the required aspherical lens surface is already created by the molding tool during the pressing process. The two spherical surfaces of the scattering lens and the spherical surface of the converging lens can be both pressed and ground, with the grinding of any spherical surface which is part of a spherical surface being simple.
In vorteilhafter Weise kann die gepreßte asphärische Fläche der Sammellinse in der Weise berechnet und hergestellt werden, daß eine zu kontrastreiche Helldunkelgrenze vermieden und eine genügende Aufhellung des auszuleuchtenden Raumes erreicht wird; das eine erhöht die Fahrsicherheit des Kraftfahrzeugführers und das andere läßt die Verkehrsschilder eindeutiger erkennen.In an advantageous manner, the pressed aspherical surface of the converging lens can be calculated and manufactured in such a way that a light-dark boundary that is too high in contrast is avoided and sufficient illumination of the room to be illuminated is achieved; one increases the driving safety of the motor vehicle driver and the other makes the traffic signs more clearly recognizable.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und in der Figurenbeschreibung näher erläutert. Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielesAn embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail in the description of the figures. Description of the embodiment
Ein Scheinwerfer für Abblendlicht oder Nebellicht von Kraftfahrzeugen hat einen Reflektor 10, dessen vertikaler Meridianschnitt 11 und horizontaler Meridianschnitt 12 Schnittkurven höherer Ordnung sind, beispielsweise Ellipsen,-Parabeln oder kegelschnittähnliche Kurven. Ein Leuchtkörper 13 ist im Bereich der optischen Achse 14 des Scheinwerfers angeordnet, und in Richtung der vom Reflektor 10 reflektierten Strahlen, d.h. vor der Lichtaustrittsöffnung 15 des Reflektors 10 befindet sich eine Blende 16, deren optisch wirksame Kante 17 die Helldunkelgrenze des Lichtbündels bildet.A headlight for low beam or fog light of motor vehicles has a reflector 10, the vertical meridian section 11 and
Ebenfalls in Richtung der reflektierten Lichtstrahlen und vor der Blende 16 ist ein von einer Streulinse 18 und einer Sammellinse 19 gebildetes Objektiv angeordnet. Die Streulinse 18 hat eine Planfläche 20 und eine sphärische Fläche 21, die Teil einer Kugeloberfläche ist. Beide Flächen 20, 21 sind durch Schleifen eines gepreßten Rohlings entstanden. Die Sammellinse 19 besteht aus Preßglas, deren asphärische Fläche 23 bereits fertig gepreßt ist, also keinen nachträglichen Schleifvorgang erfordert; deren sphärische Fläche 22 hingegen ist geschliffen. Die konkave Fläche 21 der Streulinse 18 und die konvexe Fläche 22 der Sammellinse 19 sind benachbart angeordnet.Also in the direction of the reflected light rays and in front of the
Erfindungswesentlich ist, daß die asphärische Fläche 23 des Objektivs (18, 19) fertig gepreßt ist und mithin keinen aufwendigen technischen Schleifvorgang mehr bedarf; alle Planflächen und/oder sphärischen Flächen können sowohl fertig gepreßt oder geschliffen sein, wobei der diesbezügliche Schleifvorgang sich technisch einfach darstellen läßt.It is essential to the invention that the
