Definitions
- the invention relates to a signal lamp, in particular for motor vehicles a light source arranged approximately in a focal point of a reflector, the Luminous flux from the reflector on a cover plate is conductive, the one Variety of reflection elements to form an integrated reflector and punctiform passages adjacent to the reflection elements for light distribution having.
- a signal lamp for motor vehicles is known from EP 0 625 254 B1 has a light source upstream of a reflector at its focal point is so that an approximately parallel luminous flux is directed onto a cover plate, a variety of reflective elements to form an integrated reflector has and from the reflection elements adjacent punctual Passages for light distribution is interspersed.
- a disadvantage of the known signal light is that it is direct to the reflection elements falling light in the area of a prescribed measurement image produces very bright spots that are a multiple of the required maximum light values result.
- an additional lens with optical between the cover lens and the light source Arranged elements the impact of direct light on the reflection elements should prevent.
- the additional disc makes the manufacturing and assembly costs of the signal light in an undesirable manner.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to the known signal light improve that on an additional disc while maintaining a uniform Illumination and fulfillment of the required light values can be dispensed with can.
- the scattering effect of the reflector ensures that it is only proportional Light hits the reflection elements at an angle, so that an additional pane can be dispensed with. Despite dispensing with the additional pane a uniform, homogeneous illumination is maintained, and Exceeding the permissible light values is avoided. By dropping out the additional pane the manufacturing and assembly costs of the signal light reduced accordingly.
- the reflector a variety of prisms whose prism surface originates from the focal point Light reflected.
- the reflector forms a focal point that is opposite a theoretical focus is defocused by a dimension x.
- the reflective prisms of the reflector according to the theoretical focus calculated and defocused by dimension x, direct a scattered Minor proportion of the detected luminous flux on the cover plate, which is then in the Cover plate is scattered on the legal measuring points.
- the reflector a variety of reflective prisms whose prism surface is scattered. That is, the prisms have a radius that one generates predetermined scattering, so that the scattered light from the light source Losses hits the outer pane and is scattered here again, so that the legal measuring points or measured values are not exceeded.
- other optical elements with a scattering effect can also be used become.
- the selective passages to the light source have a scattering look.
- the Reflection elements and the passages each have a hexagonal cross section on.
- the reflection elements point towards the light source in a trieder-shaped manner Surface on.
- a signal lamp 1 for motor vehicles essentially consists of a cover plate 2, a light source 3 and a reflector 4.
- the cover plate 2 has a plurality of reflection elements 5 to form an integrated reflector.
- the reflection elements 5 have at their light source-side end 6 a trieder-shaped surface 7.
- the reflection elements 5 are adjacent to a plurality of punctiform passages 8 for light distribution of the light flux 9 reflected by the reflector 4.
- the reflector 4 has a multiplicity of prisms 10, the prism surface 11 of which reflects light 12 emanating from the focal point.
- the reflector 4 forms with the prisms 10 a focal point 13 which is defocused by a dimension X, 15 compared to a theoretical focal point 14.
- the reflecting prisms 10 are thus calculated according to the theoretical focal point 14 and then defocused by the dimension X, 15 to the focal point 13. Thus, only a small proportion of light falls on the prisms 10 in order to be reflected towards the cover plate 2.
- the prisms 10 ' a scattering prism surface 11 '.
- the scattering prism surface 11 ' is achieved by a corresponding spreading radius.
- the punctiform passages 8 point towards the light source 3 Back 17 of the cover plate 2 a scattering optics 18.
- the scattering Optics 18 has a convex surface 19. But it is also fundamental possible to provide the scattering optics 18 with a concave surface.
- the reflection elements 5 have a hexagonal cross section 20 which corresponds to a hexagonal cross section 21 of the punctiform passages 8.
- the luminous flux 9 generated by the lamp 3 is from the reflecting prisms 10, 10 'of the reflector 4 or the lens surface 11, 11' reflects and directed to the cover plate 2 with a scattering effect. In the area of punctiform Passages 8, the luminous flux 9 is scattered further with the aid of the scattering optics 18, so that a relatively homogeneous light distribution is created. From the outside light incident on the cover plate 2 is on the tread-shaped surfaces 7 of the reflection elements 5 reflected and reflected.

Abstract
Description
- Figur 1:
- Eine Seitenansicht einer Signalleuchte im Schnitt mit defokussiertem Brennpunkt,
- Figur 2:
- eine Seitenansicht einer Signalleuchte im Schnitt mit am Reflektor angeordneten Prismen mit streuender Prismenoberfläche,
- Figur 3:
- eine Seitenansicht einer Abdeckscheibe im Schnitt und vergrößerter Darstellung und
- Figur 4:
- eine Rückansicht der Abdeckscheibe von Figur 3 im Ausriss.
Der Reflektor 4 weist eine Vielzahl von Prismen 10 auf, deren Prismenoberfläche 11 vom Brennpunkt ausgehendes Licht 12 reflektiert. Der Reflektor 4 bildet dabei mit den Prismen 10 einen Brennpunkt 13, der gegenüber einem theoretischen Brennpunkt 14 um ein Maß X, 15 defokussiert ist. Die reflektierenden Prismen 10 sind somit nach dem theoretischen Brennpunkt 14 berechnet und dann um das Maß X, 15 zum Brennpunkt 13 defokussiert. Somit fällt nur noch ein Minderanteil von Licht auf die Prismen 10, um zur Abdeckscheibe 2 hin reflektiert zu werden.
