Abstract

Der Reflektor (11) und die Blende (19) sowie das Objektiv (21) bilden das gesetzmäßige, die Fahrbahn ausleuchtende Lichtbündel. Den unteren Abschnitten des Reflektors (11) bildet ein paraboloid-ellipsoidförmiger Reflexionsausschnitt (12), der die Lichtstrahlen unterhalb die Blende (19) und des Objektivs (21) auf die horizontal streuenden Mittel (23) wirft und hierdurch ein Zusatzlichtbündel erzeugt. Das Zusatzlichtbündel leuchtet den Nahbereich des Fahrzeugs und beide Fahrbahnränder aus und bewirkt darüber hinaus, daß sich dem Fahrzeuglenker dasjenige Signalbild dartut, welches er von herkömmlichen Scheinwerfern mit paraboloiden Reflektoren gewöhnt ist.The reflector (11) and the diaphragm (19) and the lens (21) form the legal beam illuminating the road. The lower sections of the reflector (11) are formed by a paraboloid-ellipsoid-shaped reflection section (12) which throws the light beams below the diaphragm (19) and the objective (21) onto the horizontally scattering means (23) and thereby generates an additional light beam. The additional light beam illuminates the immediate vicinity of the vehicle and both road edges and also causes the vehicle driver to show the signal pattern that he is used to from conventional headlights with parabolic reflectors.

Description

Die Erfindung.betrifft einen Scheinwerfer für Abblendlicht oder Nebellicht von Kraftfahrzeugen nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1. Mit dem Zusatzlichtbündel erreicht man die Beleuchtung des Vorfeldes, d. h. den Bereich der Fahrbahn vor dem Krafrfahrzeug, und der beiden Fahrbahnräder, wodurch sich für den Fahrzeuglenker eine Verbesserung der Seitenorientierung ergibt.The invention relates to a headlight for low beam or fog light of motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1. With the additional light beam, the lighting of the apron, ie. H. the area of the road in front of the vehicle, and the two road wheels, which results in an improvement in the lateral orientation for the vehicle driver.

Ein derartiger Scheinwerfer ist aus der DE-OS 24 25 336 bekannt, bei dem zur Bildung des Zusatzlichtbündels zwei Seitenreflektoren und das Objektiv erforderlich sind. Die Einstellung der Seitenreflektoren und die Überlagerung des Lichtbündels durch das Zusatzlichtbündel verursachen erhöhten mechanischen und optischen Aufwand. Ein derartiger Scheinwerfer ist auch aus der DE 32 18 703 A1 bekannt, bei dem für die Erzeugung des Zusatzlichtbündels nur die direkten (vom Reflektor nicht reflektierten) Strahlen verwendet werden, die durch zwei seitlich des Objektivs angeordnete Prismenscheiben hindurchtreten; die Lichtstärke der direkten Strahlen dürfte vielfach unzureichend sein und die Horizontalausdehnung beider Prismenscheiben, die ein Vielfaches der des Objektivs ist, vergrößert die seitliche Ausdehnung des Scheinwerfers.Such a headlight is known from DE-OS 24 25 336, in which two side reflectors and the lens are required to form the additional light beam. The adjustment of the side reflectors and the superimposition of the light beam by the additional light beam cause increased mechanical and optical effort. Such a headlamp is also known from DE 32 18 703 A1, in which only the direct rays (not reflected by the reflector) are used for the generation of the additional light beam, which rays pass through two prismatic lenses arranged on the side of the objective; the light The strength of the direct rays is often inadequate and the horizontal extension of both prismatic lenses, which is a multiple of that of the objective, increases the lateral extension of the headlight.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielesDescription of the embodiment

Ein Scheinwerfer für Abblendlicht oder Nebellicht von Kraftfahrzeugen hat einen Gesamtreflektor 10, den ein Reflektor j1 und ein Reflektorausschnitt 12 im wesentlichen bilden. Der vertikale und horizontale Meridianschnitt des Reflektors 11 sind Kurven höherer Ordnung, insbesondere Ellipsen oder Parabeln. In einer Scheitel- öffnung 13 des Reflektors 11 ist eine Glühlampe 14 eingesetzt, deren Glühfaden (Lichtquelle) 15 im Bereich der optischen Achse J6 des Scheinwerfers liegt, jedoch bezüglich des Brennpunktes 17 des Reflektorausschnittes 12 geringfügig versetzt ist. Der Reflektorausschnitt 12 ist Teil eines Paraboloides und im unteren Bereich des Gesamtreflektors 10 am Reflektor 11 angesetzt.A headlamp for low beam or fog light of motor vehicles has an overall reflector 10, which a reflector j1 and a reflector cutout 12 essentially form. The vertical and horizontal meridian section of the reflector 11 are higher-order curves, in particular ellipses or parabolas. In an apex opening 13 of the reflector 11, an incandescent lamp 14 is inserted, the filament (light source) 15 of which lies in the region of the optical axis J6 of the headlight, but is slightly offset with respect to the focal point 17 of the reflector cutout 12. The reflector cutout 12 is part of a paraboloid and is attached to the reflector 11 in the lower region of the overall reflector 10.

Im Strahlengang der vom Reflektor 11 reflektierten Strahlen 18 ist unterhalb der Achse 16 eine Blende 19 angeordnet, deren Kante 20 die Helldunkelgrenze des die Fahrbahn ausleuchtenden.Lichtbündels des Abblendlichtes oder Nebellichtes bildet. Im Strahlengang der von der Blende 19 beeinflußten Strahlen ist vor dieser ein Objektiv 21 angeordnet, welches das Licht auf die Fahrbahn projiziert.In the beam path of the rays 18 reflected by the reflector 11, an aperture 19 is arranged below the axis 16, the edge 20 of which forms the light-dark boundary of the light beam illuminating the low beam or fog light. In the beam path of the rays influenced by the aperture 19, an objective 21 is arranged in front of it, which projects the light onto the road.

Im Strahlengang vor dem Objektiv 21 ist eine transparente Lichtscheibe 22, deren Neigung und Pfeilung (seitliche Neigung) im wesentlichen die Frontpartie der Kraftfahrzeug-Karosserie bestimmt. Im unteren Bereich und an der Innenseite der Lichtscheibe 22 sind horizontal streuende Mittel wie beispielsweise Prismen 23 angeordnet.In the beam path in front of the lens 21 is a transparent lens 22, the inclination and sweep (lateral inclination) essentially determines the front part of the motor vehicle body. In the lower area and on the inside of the lens 22, horizontally scattering means such as prisms 23 are arranged.

Die drei vom Reflektor 11 reflektierten Lichtstrahlen 18 fallen durch das Objektiv 21 und bilden das der Gesetzgebung entsprechende, die Fahrbahn ausleuchtende Lichtbündel. Der als Teil eines Paraboloides ausgeführte Reflektorausschnitt 12 reflektiert die Strahlen 24 unterhalb der Blende 19 und des Objektivs 21, wodurch ein Zusatzlichtbündel gebildet wird, das die Ausleuchtung sowohl des Vorfeldes als auch die Seitenausleuchtung, d. h. die Beleuchtung der Fahrbahnrändern bewirkt. Diese Strahlen 24 sind für die Bildung des Lichtbündels unwirksam und fallen nicht durch das Objektiv 21.The three light beams 18 reflected by the reflector 11 pass through the lens 21 and form the light illuminating the roadway in accordance with the legislation bunch. The reflector cutout 12, which is designed as part of a paraboloid, reflects the rays 24 below the aperture 19 and the objective 21, as a result of which an additional light beam is formed which effects the illumination of both the apron and the side illumination, ie the illumination of the road edges. These rays 24 are ineffective for the formation of the light beam and do not fall through the lens 21.

Alternativ hierzu sind die horizontalstreuenden Mittel 23 dann nicht erforderlich, wenn der Reflektorausschnitt 12' Teil eines Paraboloid-Ellipsoides ist, dessen vertikaler Meridianschnitt Teil einer Parabel und dessen horizontaler Meridianschnitt Teil eines Ellipsoides ist, weil allein hierdurch die gewünschte Seitenausleuchtung erreicht wird.As an alternative to this, the horizontally scattering means 23 are not required if the reflector cutout 12 'is part of a paraboloid ellipsoid, the vertical meridian section of which is part of a parabola and the horizontal meridian section of which is part of an ellipsoid, because this alone achieves the desired side illumination.

Der Reflektorausschnitt in Figur 2 besteht aus einem linken und rechten Seitenteil 32, 33 (durchgehende Linie), die dadurch entstehen, daß der ursprüngliche Reflektorausschnitt 12 (strichlierte Linie) durch eine vertikale Mittelebene 30 in einen linken Seitenteil 32 und einen rechten Seitenteil 33 getrennt wird; beide Seitenteile werden um eine vertikale Schwenkachse 31, die durch die Lichtquelle 15 (Figur 1) hindurchgeht, derart geschwenkt, daß die optische Achse 32' des linken Seitenteils 32 nach rechts weist, die optische Achse 33' des rechten Seitenteils 33 nach links weist, und zwar jeweils bezüglich der vertikalen Mittelebene 30.The reflector cutout in Figure 2 consists of a left and right side part 32, 33 (continuous line), which result from the fact that the original reflector cutout 12 (dashed line) is separated by a vertical central plane 30 into a left side part 32 and a right side part 33 ; both side parts are pivoted about a vertical pivot axis 31 which passes through the light source 15 (FIG. 1) such that the optical axis 32 'of the left side part 32 points to the right, the optical axis 33' of the right side part 33 points to the left, each with respect to the vertical center plane 30.
