Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to connectors or sockets for lamps in motor vehicle headlamps.
  • a projector lamp such as a standard "H7" type lamp
  • a lamp hole provided at the bottom of the reflector so that a flange belonging to this type of lamp is pressed against a reference surface, for example annular, surrounding the lamp hole.
  • a fixing device of the elastic pin type is then maneuvered to lock the lamp in this position, while maintaining the abovementioned support.
  • a connector connected to the electric harness of the vehicle is then applied by force to the rear of the lamp to supply it via male-female contacts.
  • the fitting and the electrical connection of the lamp as described above is carried out relatively uncomfortably inside the housing, through an opening formed therein, and must be followed by a fitting operation on the housing of a cap or cover intended to close the opening in a leaktight manner.
  • Document US-A-5 088 011 discloses a lamp capsule which integrates the lamp in a fixed manner herself.
  • the supply conductors of the lamp which is of a special type, are mounted in the connection parts of the capsule in a non-removable manner, in particular by the presence of a sealing agent, and therefore the capsule / lamp assembly must be replaced in the event of a lamp failure.
  • Document DE-A-27 52 049 also discloses a connection, retaining and sealing device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • document DE-A-196 23 709 discloses a city lamp, the support of which is mounted axially in a reflector.
  • no sealing is required in certain cases, and moreover it would be difficult to implement by a person skilled in the art taking into account the retention of the support by elastic expansion of discrete tabs in its orifice.
  • the present invention aims to provide a support device which is able to cooperate with such a standard lamp, while having sealing means which do not in any way obstruct the mounting of the lamp on the device or its disassembly.
  • the invention provides motor vehicle headlamps as defined in claims 7 and 8.
  • a motor vehicle headlight in this case a fog light, which mainly comprises a lamp 10, a mirror 20, a housing 30 and a lens not shown.
  • the lamp 10 is in the present case a standard filament lamp of the "H7" type, the full description of which is given in the documents of the official standards. For the purposes of this description, it will simply be noted that it comprises a bulb 11, a base 14, and a flange 12 extending around the base.
  • the mirror 20 is mounted in an adjustable manner in the housing 30, in order to adjust the position of the beam in elevation, while the lamp 10 is fixedly mounted on the housing 30, so that its bulb s' extends through a bottom opening 21 of the mirror 20, suitably oversized to allow the movement of the mirror relative to the lamp.
  • Figure 1 schematically shows that the device 50 has a body 51 from the base of which extend two flexible arms 52 diametrically opposed, each provided with an outwardly projecting part 521 at an intermediate level and a hooking tooth 522 at the free end.
  • the housing 30 has a rear opening surrounded by an inner skirt 32 and an outer skirt 31, these skirts extending rearward over different axial distances.
  • the shorter skirt 32 defines at its free annular end a bearing surface for the flange 12 of the lamp 10.
  • the skirt 31 has in the region of its free end recesses 311 adjacent to openings through which the attachment teeth 522 of the device 50 can engage elastically to lock the device and the lamp in place.
  • connection member preferably comprises a female connection part capable of receiving a corresponding male connection element 13 of the lamp, and a part for crimping or welding the stripped end of the corresponding conductor 60.
  • Figure 2 shows another type of projector equipped with a mounting, connection and sealing device according to the invention.
  • the lamp 10 is mounted, using the same device 50, no longer on the housing 30 of the projector, but on the reflector 20, in a conventional manner per se.
  • the housing 30 is provided with an opening 33 whose dimensions are greater than the transverse dimensions of the device 50 equipped with its lamp 10.
  • a deformable sealing element operating between the housing around its opening 33 and the reflector 20 around the device 50 is provided.
  • this sealing element consists of a bellows 40 in the form of a crown, made for example of elastometer material, an outer edge of which has a continuous clamp 41 intended to connect the bellows 40 in a sealed manner to a flange 34 of the surrounding housing.
  • this bellows 40 makes it possible to accept the variations in position between the housing 30 and the reflector 20 when the latter is moved for beam adjustment purposes.
  • the assembly is carried out by first mounting the lamp on the device 50, before the latter is put in place. Then, the device 50 carrying the lamp 10 is placed unitarily in the rear opening of the housing 30, so that the bulb 11 of the lamp comes to occupy the desired position in the reflector 20. The the lamp is therefore connected beforehand, followed by the actual mounting with sealing function.
  • This consists mainly of a molded plastic part comprising a generally cylindrical body 51.
  • the pressure zones 521 are advantageously provided with ridges allowing the operator's fingers to properly exert the efforts of fitting and removing the device in the axial direction.
  • two axial passages 541 of generally rectangular section which open, at the rear face of the device (opposite face to the lamp 10) , on two circular orifices 54 of input for two conductors 60 for supplying the lamp.
  • connection members (not shown) which each have a part forming a female connector for a contact 13 of the lamp, and a part intended to crimp the stripped end of an associated conductor 60.
  • connection members not shown
  • connection members are well known in the field of electrical connectors, in particular in the automotive field, and will not be described in detail.
  • FIGS. 3, 7 and 8 the circular groove 55 formed at the periphery of the body 51 to receive the O-ring 70 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the body 51 of the device 50 comprises a plurality of arrangements intended essentially to receive and wedge the base 14 of the standard lamp "H7" and to fix this base reliably to the device 50 .
  • two diametrically opposite lugs 56 have been illustrated intended to cooperate by complementarity of shapes with two complementary notches belonging to the base of the lamp, in order to ensure polarization when the lamp is plugged in.
  • connection members previously crimped on the conductors 60
  • an electrically insulating material which is introduced into the passages 541 and into the orifices 54 in the liquid or viscous state, then hardened. This introduction can be done via the orifices 54 and / or via diametrically opposite lateral orifices 59 opening into the passages 541.
