Description

L'invention concerne un porte-lampe pour projecteur ou feu, notamment pour véhicule automobile.The invention relates to a lamp holder for a projector. or fire, especially for a motor vehicle.

Dans la suite de la description, on se référera par commodité à l'application à un projecteur, mais celle-ci n'est nullement limitative dans la mesure où, comme on le comprendra, l'invention n'est pas liée à la fonction de l'organe d'éclairage et peut donc être mise en oeuvre dans des applications très variées.In the following description, we will refer to convenience to the application to a projector, but this one is in no way limiting insofar as, as we will understand, the invention is not related to the function of the lighting element and can therefore be implemented in very varied applications.

L'invention s'applique tout particulièrement au cas des projecteurs situés en un emplacement tel qu'il ne subsiste en partie postérieure du réflecteur qu'un très faible dégagement pour le retrait et la remise en place de la lampe du projecteur. Cette configuration se rencontre de plus en plus souvent dans les véhicules modernes, où l'on dispose de façon très compacte les différents organes dans le compartiment moteur.The invention is particularly applicable to the case projectors located in a location such that it remains in the posterior part of the reflector that a very low clearance for removal and replacement of the projector lamp. This configuration is meets more and more often in vehicles modern, where we very compactly have the different components in the engine compartment.

Du fait de ce faible dégagement, un changement de lampe devient très délicat, avec les risques corrélatifs de laisser échapper la lampe au moment du montage, de mal la fixer, etc.Due to this low clearance, a change of lamp becomes very delicate, with correlative risks letting the lamp escape during assembly, fix it, etc.

On connaít déjà par le document DE 34 10 463 A un projecteur dont la lampe peut être remplacée par le dessus du projecteur, en s'affranchissant par conséquent du problème de dégagement arrière. Ce projecteur connu souffre toutefois de nombreux inconvénients :

  • encombrement accru vers le haut
  • complexité de la structure mécanique associée
  • et probablement, défauts optiques dus à la réalisation du réflecteur en deux pièces.
We already know from the document DE 34 10 463 A a projector whose lamp can be replaced by the top of the projector, thereby eliminating the rear clearance problem. This known projector suffers from many drawbacks:
  • increased bulk up
  • complexity of the associated mechanical structure
  • and probably, optical defects due to the realization of the reflector in two parts.

On connaít également par FR 2 223 626 A une solution pour l'accès à la lampe d'un réflecteur secondaire inscrit dans un réflecteur principal. We also know from FR 2 223 626 A solution for accessing a reflector lamp secondary inscribed in a main reflector.

Toutefois ce document ne résout nullement le problème d'accessibilité arrière, et pose même un problème supplémentaire d'accessibilité par le dessus du projecteur.However, this document in no way resolves the rear accessibility problem, and even poses a additional problem of accessibility from above projector.

L'invention propose de remédier à la difficulté précitée en prévoyant un projecteur ou feu tel que défini dans la revendication 1.The invention proposes to remedy the difficulty above by providing a headlamp or light as defined in claim 1.

Des aspects préférés du projecteur ou feu selon l'invention sont définis dans les revendications dépendantes 2 à 5.Preferred aspects of the projector or fire according to the invention are defined in the claims dependent 2 to 5.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description détaillée suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, faite en référence aux dessins annexés.Other features and benefits of the invention will appear on reading the description following detailed example of an embodiment, made in reference to the accompanying drawings.

La figure 1 est un dessin schématique, vue de trois-quarts arrière, d'un ensemble réflecteur, porte-lampe et lampe selon l'invention, montrant la manière dont le porte-lampe est introduit dans le réflecteur et monté sur celui-ci.Figure 1 is a schematic drawing, seen from rear three-quarter, reflector, bulb holder and lamp according to the invention, showing the way the lamp holder of which is inserted into the reflector and mounted on it.

La figure 2 est une coupe en élévation, selon la ligne brisée II-II de la figure 4, de l'ensemble porte-lampe et lampe placé dans le réflecteur, dans la position de montage final.Figure 2 is a sectional elevation, along the broken line II-II of Figure 4, of the lamp holder assembly and lamp placed in the reflector, in the position final assembly.

La figure 3 est une vue de face du porte-lampe seul, montrant le bras de manoeuvre et les moyens de centrage de la lampe.FIG. 3 is a front view of the lamp holder alone, showing the operating arm and the centering means of the lamp.

La figure 4 est une vue arrière de ce même porte-lampe monté sur le réflecteur, le dessin en trait plein correspondant à la position de montage final du porte-lampe et le dessin en trait mixte correspondant à la position d'insertion de ce porte-lampe dans l'encoche du projecteur.Figure 4 is a rear view of the same lamp holder mounted on the reflector, the solid line drawing corresponding to the final mounting position of the lamp holder and the line drawing corresponding to the insertion position of this lamp holder in the notch of the projector.

La figure 5 est une vue arrière du réflecteur seul, dans la région de l'ouverture centrale, montrant notamment les faces d'appui recevant la lampe et le porte-lampe.FIG. 5 is a rear view of the reflector alone, in the region of the central opening, showing in particular the bearing faces receiving the lamp and the lamp holder.

Sur la figure 1, on a représenté schématiquement le projecteur configuré selon l'invention, désigné de façon générale par la référence numérique 1. Celui-ci comprend essentiellement, outre divers éléments que l'on ne décrira pas car ils ne contribuent pas à la mise en oeuvre de l'invention (organes de montage du projecteur sur la carrosserie, glace de fermeture, etc.) un réflecteur ou miroir 2 recevant un porte-lampe 3 muni de sa lampe 4 (ici et dans la suite, on supposera toujours que le porte-lampe 3 a été auparavant équipé de sa lampe 4, cette opération étant préalable au montage du porte-lampe sur le réflecteur 2 du projecteur).In Figure 1, there is shown schematically the headlamp configured according to the invention, designated so general by the numerical reference 1. This includes essentially, in addition to various elements that will not be described not because they do not contribute to the implementation of the invention (projector mounting members on the body, closing glass, etc.) a reflector or mirror 2 receiving a lamp holder 3 provided with its lamp 4 (here and below, we will always assume that the lamp holder 3 was previously fitted with its lamp 4, this operation being prior to mounting the lamp holder on reflector 2 of the projector).

L'ensemble porte-lampe et lampe est destiné à être monté dans une ouverture centrale 5 formée dans l'axe du réflecteur, par exemple dans l'axe du paraboloïde dans le cas, le plus fréquent, d'un projecteur à réflecteur parabolique.The lamp holder and lamp assembly is intended to be mounted in a central opening 5 formed in the axis of the reflector, for example in the axis of the paraboloid in the most common case of a reflector spotlight parabolic.

De façon caractéristique de l'invention, le porte-lampe est introduit par une encoche 6 formée à partir de l'ouverture 5 et qui s'étend approximativement par exemple suivant l'intersection de la surface du réflecteur avec un plan radial vertical ou légèrement incliné. Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, on a prévu, pour des considérations pratiques, une légère inclinaison α (figure 4) de l'ordre de 9°, mais sans aucun caractère limitatif.Characteristically of the invention, the lamp holder is introduced by a notch 6 formed from the opening 5 and which extends approximately for example along the intersection of the reflector surface with a vertical or slightly inclined radial plane. In the illustrated embodiment, provision has been made for practical considerations, a slight inclination α (figure 4) of the order of 9 °, but without any character limiting.

L'encoche 6 est borgne ; elle se prolonge en direction axiale vers l'avant du projecteur sur une longueur correspondant approximativement à la longueur de la lampe 4. Cette dimension dépend en fait de considérations pratiques et l'on comprendra que, si l'on dispose d'un léger dégagement en partie postérieure du réflecteur, on peut prévoir une encoche plus courte en direction axiale.The notch 6 is blind; it extends towards axial towards the front of the projector over a length approximately corresponding to the length of the lamp 4. This dimension actually depends on considerations practical and we will understand that, if we have a slight clearance in the rear part of the reflector, one can foresee a shorter notch in direction axial.

L'encoche 6 permet l'insertion de la lampe essentiellement par un mouvement de translation verticale de descente (flèche 7 sur la figure 1) suivi, après mise en place de l'ensemble à l'arrière du projecteur, d'un mouvement de rotation (flèche 8) sur une fraction de tour, pour verrouiller en place le porte-lampe dans l'ouverture 5.The notch 6 allows the insertion of the lamp essentially by a vertical translational movement of descent (arrow 7 in Figure 1) followed, after setting place the assembly at the back of the projector, with a movement rotation (arrow 8) over a fraction of a turn, to lock the lamp holder in place in the opening 5.

Le porte-lampe 3 comporte essentiellement un corps support de lampe 9 recevant la lampe d'une manière en elle-même connue (par exemple par enfichage de contacts, comme on peut le voir sur la coupe de la figure 2) et pourvu en partie arrière de moyens de connexion électrique à la lampe, qui peuvent être soit un connecteur enfichable soit, comme représenté en 10 sur la figure 1, des fils conducteurs surmoulés avec le corps du porte-lampe et directement issus d'un faisceau de câbles.The lamp holder 3 essentially comprises a body lamp holder 9 receiving the lamp in a itself known (for example by plugging in contacts, as can be seen in the section in Figure 2) and provided at the rear with electrical connection means to the lamp, which can either be a connector plug-in either, as shown at 10 in FIG. 1, lead wires overmolded with the body of the lamp holder and directly from a bundle of cables.

Le porte-lampe 3 comporte une collerette 11 dont on expliquera plus loin le rôle ainsi qu'une tige ou bras de manoeuvre allongé 12 permettant à l'utilisateur de réaliser le mouvement de rotation (de la flèche 8) lorsque le porte-lampe est placé dans l'ouverture 5 du réflecteur 2, et ceci en dépit du faible dégagement à l'arrière du réflecteur.The lamp holder 3 has a flange 11 which will further explain the role as well as a rod or arm elongated maneuver 12 allowing the user to perform the rotational movement (of arrow 8) when the lamp holder is placed in the opening 5 of the reflector 2, and this despite the low clearance at the back of the reflector.

La collerette 11 a une forme approximativement circulaire et plate et vient se glisser entre, d'une part, la face arrière du réflecteur 2 en périphérie de l'ouverture 5 et, d'autre part, une pièce de retenue 13 (figure 2 et 4) qui est de préférence une pièce rapportée métallique fixée au projecteur en 14 (figure 2 et 5) aux moyens de vis 15.The collar 11 has an approximately circular shape and flat and comes to slip between, on the one hand, the rear side of reflector 2 at the periphery of the opening 5 and, on the other hand, a retaining part 13 (FIG. 2 and 4) which is preferably a metallic insert attached to the projector at 14 (Figures 2 and 5) at screw means 15.

La pièce de retenue 13 comporte des surfaces 16 (figure 4) venant maintenir la région 17 de la collerette 11 pincée entre cette surface 16 et la face arrière en vis-à-vis du réflecteur, autour de l'ouverture 5. On empêche ainsi le déplacement axial du porte-lampe, tout en autorisant son introduction par le haut puis son pivotement autour de l'axe central ; en d'autres termes, la pièce de retenue 13 agit à la manière d'un réceptacle pour le porte-lampe, celui-ci étant guidé radialement et axialement à l'intérieur de ce réceptacle par la collerette.The retaining piece 13 has surfaces 16 (Figure 4) holding region 17 of the collar 11 pinch between this surface 16 and the rear face facing the reflector, around the opening 5. This prevents axial movement of the lamp holder, while authorizing its introduction from above then its pivot around the central axis; in other words, the retaining piece 13 acts like a receptacle for the lamp holder, this being guided radially and axially inside this receptacle by the collar.

La pièce de retenue 13 comporte en outre avantageusement des lames élastiques 18, par exemple au nombre de trois (figure 2 et 4), qui viennent solliciter axialement une surface en vis-à-vis 19 de la lampe. Une fois l'ensemble en position finale, la lampe est donc centrée : d'une part radialement par sa zone de liaison cylindrique 20 qui vient se placer dans le logement homologue 21 du porte-lampe 3 ; et d'autre part axialement avec ses appuis 22 (figure 2) qui viennent contre les surfaces de portée 23 homologues (figures 2 et 5) du réflecteur 2, ce positionnement étant réalisé sous contrainte des lames élastiques 18.The retaining piece 13 also advantageously comprises elastic blades 18, for example the number of three (Figure 2 and 4), which come to stress axially a surface facing 19 of the lamp. Once the assembly in the final position, the lamp is therefore centered : on the one hand radially by its connection zone cylindrical 20 which is placed in the housing counterpart 21 of the lamp holder 3; and on the other hand axially with its supports 22 (figure 2) which come against the homologous bearing surfaces 23 (FIGS. 2 and 5) of the reflector 2, this positioning being carried out under stress elastic blades 18.

Le verrouillage final du bras en position est réalisé au moyen d'un bossage 24 (figure 3 et 4) solidaire du porte-lampe et qui coopère avec une lame élastique homologue 25 (figure 4) qui peut être par exemple un prolongement de la pièce 13.Final locking of the arm in position is achieved by means of a boss 24 (FIGS. 3 and 4) secured to the lamp holder and which cooperates with a homologous elastic blade 25 (Figure 4) which can be for example an extension from Exhibit 13.

Pour réaliser ce verrouillage, après avoir descendu l'ensemble lampe et porte-lampe approximativement verticalement jusqu'à positionner la collerette 11 entre la pièce de retenue 13 et l'ouverture du projecteur 5 (des encoches 26 (figure 3) permettant réaliser un pré-centrage du porte-lampe), l'utilisateur fait pivoter le bras 12 d'un angle β (figure 4) par exemple de l'ordre de 20°, jusqu'à venir encliqueter le bossage 24 sous la partie arrondie de la lame élastique 25.To achieve this locking, after having descended the lamp and lamp holder assembly approximately vertically until positioning the collar 11 between the retaining part 13 and the opening of the projector 5 (of the notches 26 (Figure 3) for pre-centering lamp holder), the user rotates the arm 12 of an angle β (FIG. 4) for example of the order by 20 °, until the boss 24 engages under the rounded part of the elastic blade 25.

Le démontage de la lampe se fait par la manoeuvre exactement inverse : pivotement du porte-lampe jusqu'à amener le bras en position sensiblement verticale, puis relevage de celui-ci en faisant traverser le réflecteur à la lampe par l'encoche 6.The disassembly of the lamp is done by the operation exactly opposite: pivoting of the lamp holder up to bring the arm into a substantially vertical position, then lifting it by passing through the reflector to the lamp by the notch 6.
