Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif occulteur de rayonnement lumineux pour un projecteur de véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a radiation concealment device light for a motor vehicle headlight.

Elle a trait également à un projecteur ainsi équipé.It also relates to a projector thus equipped.

Les dispositifs occulteurs de rayonnement lumineux pour projecteur de véhicule automobile sont bien connus et largement répandus. Leur fonction est d'éviter que la lumière émise par le filament d'une lampe de projecteur ne soit diffusée directement vers l'extérieur au travers de la glace de fermeture du projecteur. En d'autres termes, il s'agit de limiter l'émission de lumière de telle façon que celle-ci rencontre seulement le fond et les parties latérales du miroir qui équipe le projecteur, avant d'être renvoyée, après réflexion, au travers de la glace.Devices occulting light radiation for projector of motor vehicle are well known and widely spread. Their function is to avoid that the light emitted by the filament of a projector lamp is not diffused directly outward through the projector closing glass. In other words, he is to limit the emission of light so that it meets only the background and side parts of the mirror that equips the projector, before being returned, after reflection, through the ice.

Un tel occulteur a généralement une forme qui lui permet de coiffer l'avant de la lampe, et présente une face avant ou antérieure qui empêche toute diffusion directe de la lumière vers la glace du projecteur. Il présente également des parties latérales dont les rebords présentent des échancrures de forme telle que la lumière ne puisse être émise que vers la partie utile du miroir.Such an occluder generally has a shape that allows him to style the front of the lamp, and has a front or front face that prevents any direct broadcast from the light to the projector's mirror. It also has side parts which the edges have indentations of such shape that the light can not be emitted only towards the useful part of the mirror.

Un dispositif occulteur selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est connu du document DE-A-19508 472.A concealment device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from DE-A-19508 472.

Le document FR-A-2 343 966 décrit un occulteur de rayonnement. Celui-ci recouvre seulement les parties avant et inférieures de la lampe. Des fentes en partie inférieure sont prévues pour permettre le refroidissement de la lampe. Ces fentes sont suffisantes pour remplir correctement leur fonction de refroidissement de la lampe. La chaleur dégagée par celle-ci peut par ailleurs s'évacuer par le large espace laissé libre par l'occulteur.Document FR-A-2 343 966 describes a radiation shield. This one covers only the front and bottom parts of the lamp. Slots in part lower are provided to allow cooling of the lamp. These slots are sufficient to properly fulfill their function of cooling the lamp. The heat released by it can also be evacuated by the large space left free by the mask.

Tel n'est pas le cas lorsque l'occulteur présente une face avant, ainsi que des parties supérieure, inférieure et latérales qui coiffent entièrement la partie avant de la lampe. Il se produit alors des problèmes de surchauffe qui peuvent causer une déformation de l'occulteur, voire un mauvais fonctionnement du projecteur.This is not the case when the concave has a front face, as well as upper, lower and lateral parts which completely cover the front part of the lamp. Overheating problems occur which can cause deformation of the blackout, or even a malfunction of the projector.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier cet inconvénient par des moyens simples et peu coûteux.The present invention aims to overcome this drawback by means of simple and inexpensive ways.

Ainsi, le dispositif occulteur selon l'invention, qui comporte un élément d'occultation apte à coiffer la partie avant de la lampe du projecteur qui comprend une face avant, ainsi que des parties inférieure, supérieure et latérales et une ouverture pour l'engagement de ladite lampe, et qui comprend des moyens de fixation sur un miroir du projecteur, se caractérise par le fait que l'une au moins des parties latérales présente au moins une fenêtre de ventilation qui fait saillie hors dudit élément et qui débouche à l'extérieur vers le haut.Thus, the occulting device according to the invention, which comprises an element shading device capable of covering the front portion of the projector lamp which includes a front, as well as lower, upper and lateral parts and an opening for the engagement of said lamp, and which comprises fixing means on a mirror of the headlamp, is characterized by the fact that at least one of the parts side has at least one ventilation window protruding out of said element and leading to outside to the top.

L'orientation particulière de cette fenêtre facilite la convection naturelle de l'air chaud dégagé par la lampe. The particular orientation of this window facilitates the natural convection of the warm air released by the lamp.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses mais non limitatives de ce dispositif sont définies dans les revendications dépendantes.Other advantageous but non-limiting characteristics of this device are defined in the dependent claims.

L'invention concerne également un projecteur de véhicule automobile équipé d'un dispositif occulteur conforme à la présente invention. Les moyens de fixation sur un miroir du projecteur peuvent être constitués par au moins un rebord de tôle sur lequel sont formées des dents d'accrochage.The invention also relates to a motor vehicle headlight equipped with a concealment device according to the present invention. The fixing means on a mirror of the projector can be constituted by at least one sheet flange on which teeth are formed hooking.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description détaillée d'une forme de réalisation préférée, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif. Cette description sera faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de côté d'un dispositif occulteur conforme à la présente invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de face du dispositif de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue de dessus de ce même dispositif ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective, toujours de ce même dispositif ;
  • la figure 5 est un schéma destiné à montrer la façon dont le dispositif est intégré dans un projecteur de véhicule automobile.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description of a preferred embodiment given by way of non-limiting example. This description will be made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a side view of a conceal device according to the present invention;
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the device of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the same device;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view, still of the same device;
  • Figure 5 is a diagram for showing how the device is integrated into a motor vehicle headlamp.

Le dispositif occulteur représenté sur les figures annexées est réalisé en tôle métallique pliée. Il est formé principalement d'un élément occulteur 2 et d'un élément d'accrochage 3 à la joue supérieure du miroir d'un projecteur de véhicule automobile.The occulting device shown in the accompanying figures is made of folded metal sheet. It consists mainly of a concealment element 2 and an element 3 attachment to the upper cheek of the mirror of a motor vehicle headlight.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, l'élément 2 s'inscrit sensiblement dans un tronc de pyramide, c'est-à-dire que ses parois supérieure 20, inférieure 21 et latérales 22 et 23 sont divergentes à partir d'une paroi avant plane 24. In the embodiment shown, element 2 is substantially in a truncated pyramid, that is to say that its upper walls 20, lower 21 and 22 and 23 are divergent from a flat front wall 24.

L'ensemble du dispositif, sauf la paroi 24, est de préférence formé par pliage d'une seule pièce de tôle, y compris l'élément d'accrochage 3, que l'on décrira plus loin dans la description.The entire device, except the wall 24, is preferably formed by folding of a single piece of sheet metal, including the attachment element 3, which will be described further in the description.

Le bord avant des faces latérales 22 et 23, disposé sur la partie gauche de la figure 1, présente une petite oreille 240, recourbée à 90° pour permettre la mise en place, le guidage et la retenue de la paroi de fond 24, formée de façon séparée.The front edge of the lateral faces 22 and 23, disposed on the left side of FIG. 1 shows a small ear 240, bent at 90 ° to allow the setting place, guiding and retaining the bottom wall 24, formed separately.

Le rebord opposé des faces latérales présente une large échancrure 220 dont le profil est déterminé pour laisser passer la lumière provenant d'une lampe et l'orienter uniquement vers le miroir du projecteur.The opposite edge of the side faces has a wide notch 220 whose profile is determined to let light from a lamp and orient it only towards the mirror of the projector.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures, les faces latérales 22 et 23 présentent chacune deux fenêtres de ventilation.In the example shown in the figures, the lateral faces 22 and 23 each have two ventilation windows.

Une première fenêtre 6 est disposée en partie inférieure de chacune des parois. Elle est formée par découpage de la tôle selon une ligne horizontale et repoussage de la matière vers l'extérieur de manière que celle-ci fasse saillie hors de l'élément 2.A first window 6 is arranged in the lower part of each of the walls. It is formed by cutting the sheet in a horizontal line and repoussage the material outwardly so that it protrudes out of the element 2.

On notera que cette fenêtre qui s'étend horizontalement, débouche vers l'extérieur en direction de la partie supérieure de l'élément occulteur 2.It will be noted that this window which extends horizontally, opens towards the outside in the direction of the upper part of the concealment element 2.

La fenêtre 5 est formée de la même façon que la fenêtre 6 mais est en position renversée par rapport à celle-ci, de sorte que son ouverture qui fait saillie vers l'extérieur est orientée en direction de la partie inférieure de l'élément occulteur.The window 5 is formed in the same way as the window 6 but is in overturned in relation to it, so that its opening protrudes towards the outside is oriented towards the lower part of the occulting element.

On précisera que sur chacune des faces 22 et 23, les deux fenêtres sont en vis-à-vis. Il s'agit d'une caractéristique avantageuse mais non limitative de l'invention.It will be specified that on each of the faces 22 and 23, the two windows are in vis-a-vis. This is an advantageous but non-limiting feature of the invention.

La face inférieure référencée 21 de l'élément occulteur est également pourvue de deux fenêtres 7 formées de la même manière que les fenêtres 5 et 6, s'étendant transversalement, et dont l'ouverture est dirigée vers la partie arrière de l'élément occulteur.The underside referenced 21 of the occulting element is also provided with two windows 7 formed in the same way as the windows 5 and 6, extending transversely, and whose opening is directed towards the rear part of the occulting element.

L'élément d'accrochage 3 est formé d'une partie verticale 30 qui se poursuit vers le haut par des moyens d'accrochage 4 qui s'étendent selon une direction généralement horizontale.The attachment element 3 is formed of a vertical part 30 which continues upwards by means of attachment 4 which extend in one direction generally horizontal.

En fait, ces moyens d'accrochage comportent une partie en forme générale de "U" dont la base horizontale est référencée 41 et les ailes sont référencées 42. Ces ailes 42 sont repliées à 90° vers l'exténeur pour former un rebord 43 dont certaines parties sont découpées et repliées pour former des dents d'accrochage 44.In fact, these attachment means comprise a part in general form of "U" whose horizontal base is referenced 41 and the wings are referenced 42. These wings 42 are folded 90 ° outwards to form a flange 43, some parts of which are cut and folded to form gripping teeth 44.

On a représenté schématiquement à la figure 5 la façon dont l'élément occulteur conforme à l'invention s'intègre dans un projecteur de véhicule automobile portant la référence numénque 8. On a représenté en traits pointillés le contour général du boítier B de ce projecteur, tandis que sa glace G est représentée par un trait mixte.FIG. 5 shows diagrammatically the manner in which the concealment element according to the invention fits into a motor vehicle headlamp bearing reference numeral 8. The general outline of the housing B of this headlight is shown in dotted lines. , while its ice G is represented by a dashed line.

Le miroir du projecteur est référencé M tandis que sa lampe est référencée L.The mirror of the projector is referenced M while its lamp is referenced L.

Le dispositif occulteur conforme à l'invention est fixé par son élément 3 à la joue supérieure du miroir M, de telle manière que l'élément occulteur 2 coiffe la partie avant de la lampe L.The concealment device according to the invention is fixed by its element 3 to the upper cheek of the mirror M , so that the concealment element 2 caps the front part of the lamp L.

La mise en route de la lampe L va générer un flux lumineux et provoquer un dégagement de chaleur. Cela va bien entendu provoquer l'échauffement du dispositif occulteur.The start of the lamp L will generate a luminous flux and cause a release of heat. This will of course cause heating of the occulting device.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, le fait que le dispositif occulteur présente, sur une de ses faces latérales, au moins une fenêtre qui fait saillie hors de l'élément d'occultation et qui débouche vers l'extérieur en direction de sa partie supérieure va faciliter l'évacuation de la chaleur vers le haut par un effet de convection naturelle.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the fact that the occulting device has, on one of its lateral faces, at least one window which makes protruding out of the occulting element and opening outwards towards its the upper part will facilitate the evacuation of heat upwards by an effect of natural convection.

La forme des fenêtres est déterminée pour ne pas laisser passer le moindre rayonnement lumineux.The shape of the windows is determined not to let the slightest light radiation.

Bien entendu, les fenêtres additionnelles de ventilation disposées soit sur les faces latérales, soit sur la face inférieure vont encore améliorer cet effet de ventilation.Of course, the additional ventilation windows arranged either on the side faces, or on the underside will further improve this effect of ventilation.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures, le dispositif occulteur présente deux fenêtres sur chacune de ses faces latérales et inférieure. Bien entendu, il pourrait en comporter un nombre différent par exemple une ou trois et, dans un mode de réalisation non limitatif, seulement sur une ou deux de ses faces latérales.In the example shown in the figures, the occulting device presents two windows on each of its side and bottom faces. Of course, he could have a different number, for example one or three, and in one embodiment non-limiting, only on one or both of its side faces.

Le dispositif de l'invention permet d'augmenter notablement la durée d'utilisation de la lampe tout en préservant l'occulteur lui-même et les autres pièces voisines qui, autrement, seraient déformées ou détériorées sous l'effet de la température générée par la lampe.The device of the invention makes it possible to significantly increase the duration of use of the lamp while preserving the shield itself and other parts neighboring areas which would otherwise be deformed or deteriorated by temperature generated by the lamp.
