Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dipped headlight for a motor vehicle, in which the light beam is cut above two horizontal half-planes offset in height.
- contour of the cut is defined by two horizontal half-lines, the half-line on the right side being at the level of the horizontal and the half-line on the left side being offset by about 1.5% in below the horizontal.
- the beams meeting these standards are most often designed with a projector provided with a transverse filament lamp cooperating with a parabolic mirror of relatively large focal length, so as to reduce the thickness of the beam and consequently minimize the extra thicknesses due to prisms deflectors on the closing glass.
- One of the aims of the invention is to propose a dipped headlight overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks and allowing maximum recovery of the luminous flux emitted by the filament of the lamp.
- the proposed low-beam headlamp comprises, in a conventional manner, a lamp, a reflector and a closing glass placed in front of the reflector, as well as means for cutting the light beam above two horizontal half-planes offset in height.
- the mirror is preferably inclined downwards from the angle which characterizes the angular spacing of the left cut of the beam USA relative to the horizontal so as to initiate the left cut. It is also inclined to the right by an angle corresponding approximately to the angular half-width of the concentration images coming from the edges of the mirror, concentration images which are raised to the level of the horizontal with the ice.
- the correcting means comprise two lateral surfaces adjoining the deflecting surface, with the same equation as an extension of the latter, except for an upward tilting, the distribution glass then being slightly deviating towards vertical.
- the deflecting surface is a surface capable of forming images of the filament each having their highest point situated on a horizontal line.
- the projector according to the invention shown schematically in Figure 1, comprises a reflector 10, an axial filament lamp 20, and a distribution glass 30 closing the projector.
- the surface of the reflector is a surface without discontinuity, chosen so as to form images of the filament all of whose points are situated below a horizontal plane - advantageously, all these images having their highest point aligned on this horizontal plane .
- absence of discontinuity is meant a second order continuity guaranteed at any point on the surface, that is to say that the radius of curvature and the position of the center of curvature always vary continuously; this arrangement makes it possible, in practice, to produce real surfaces having a very good conformity with the theoretical surfaces, thus avoiding the defects which were specific to the system with “offset paraboloids” described above: continuity at second order in particular makes the reflector perfectly stampable in principle.
- the distance separating, in the radial direction, the surface of the reflector from the surface defined by the equation does not exceed 0.15 mm.
- the normal difference separating, in the vertical plane passing through the origin of the coordinates, the trace of the surface of the reflector of the corresponding least-square parabola does not exceed 0.3 mm (the concept of "parabola least squares "is explained in the two aforementioned documents).
- the distance from the emissive surface to the axis does not exceed 25% of the diameter of the filament, in one direction or the other.
- the axial centering of the filament relative to the point of coordinates (f 0 o, o) is carried out with a tolerance of 10% of the length of the filament, in one direction or the other.
- Figures 4 to 11 and Figure 12 show the illumination provided by regions 12 to 16 and 11, respectively, of the bare reflector thus defined, with a horizontal axis Ox.
- the regions 12 'to 19' produce an illumination symmetrical with respect to the vertical vv 'of the illuminations produced by the regions 12 to 19, respectively.
- the outermost curve corresponds to an illumination of 100 candelas
- the next curve to an illumination of 1000 candelas
- the other curves to increasing illuminations of 2000, 4000, .... candelas.
- the filament-reflector assembly is tilted down and to the right towards the concentration point. maximum as defined by standard SAE J 579 c, as indicated above.
- these correcting means consist of prisms formed on the homologous regions 30b and 30c of the closing glass (FIG. 3), which are provided with prisms of 1 to 3 °.
- the central region 30a of the closing glass can be striated in a conventional manner, to obtain the desired comfort and widening for the light beam.
- the surface 10a of the reflector is extended by two lateral surfaces 10b and 10c of the same equation, but slightly angularly offset (as can be seen in FIG. 15), also by an angle of l '' order from 1 to 3 °.
- the reflector of the preceding embodiment is modified (FIG. 2) while retaining the same surface equation, except that the part comprising the regions 16 to 19 is tilted very slightly upwards. on the one hand, and that comprising the regions 16 'to 19' on the other.
- the regions 30b and 30c of the closing glass can be devoid of prisms, or only very slightly prismatic, which makes it possible to eliminate the dazzling factors due to the multiplicity of horizontal drafts resulting from the presence of the prisms in the previous case.
- the projector according to the invention is capable of collecting a luminous flux much higher than that given by a paraboloid of an axial filament projector of conventional design, projector whose focal length can hardly be reduced to values less than 29 mm.
- the headlight of the invention it is possible to use a low base focal length f 0 , for example of 22.5 mm, which makes it possible for example to produce a headlight of generally rectangular, symmetrical shape, of 70 mm high and 150 mm wide.
- the gain in flow is then close to 30% compared to conventional projectors, the most common focal length of which is 31.75 mm and the height always limited to minimum values of the order of 100 mm.
