Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a headlamp of the elliptical type for a motor vehicle.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to a headlight for a motor vehicle, comprising a light source, an elliptical type reflector, a first focus of which is located in the vicinity of the source, a converging lens, a focal plane of which passes in the vicinity of a second focus of the reflector, a first and a second cover which are inserted axially, along the optical axis of the projector, between the reflector and the lens, of the type in which the first cover is pivotally mounted about a substantially transverse axis between a retracted position and a concealment position, the first cover having a cut-off edge which delimits, in the concealment position, a cut-off profile of the light beam emitted by the source in order to perform a first lighting function, and of the type in which the second cover is mounted movable between a retracted position and a concealed position which makes it possible to produce at least a second lighting function by modifying the cut-off profile of the light beam, the second cover being mounted pivoting about
  • a headlamp When such a headlamp must form a cut-off beam, such as a passing beam or an anti-fog beam, it includes a mask interposed axially between the light source and the lens, which obscures the part of the radiation, which would otherwise propagate to the above this cut.
  • a cut-off beam such as a passing beam or an anti-fog beam
  • a known solution for modifying the cut-off profile consists in intervening on the cover of the projector to modify the cut-off profile.
  • EP-A-0,381,851 discloses an elliptical projector of the type comprising a first cover provided between the reflector and the lens, which has an edge defining a first particular cut-off profile for the emitted light beam, and a second cover disposed on the first cover and selectively movable between two positions, a first position in which an edge of the second cover is positioned on the path of the light rays to form with the first cover a light beam with a second particular cutting profile, and a second position in which said edge of the second cover is substantially positioned outside the path of the light rays to form a light beam with the first cut profile.
  • one solution for selectively performing a code function or a road function consists in rotating the movable cover of the headlight to position it respectively in or out of the light beam emitted.
  • an elliptical type headlamp which comprises a pivoting cover between a coded position and a road position, around an axis generally horizontal and parallel to the optical axis.
  • the cover is pivotally mounted on a frame part of the projector, at one of its lateral sides, and the pivoting movement of the cover is carried out so that it always remains in the vertical plane transverse to the optical axis where it is in the code position.
  • Such a projector has several drawbacks.
  • the light beam emitted has a reduced light intensity due to the fact that a part of the cover, located on the side of the latter's pivot axis, always remains in the path of the light rays emitted. .
  • pivoting cover arrangement requires the use of a bulky and powerful actuating means to ensure with the desired speed the return of the cover in the road position towards the code position.
  • the document FR-A-2,796,449 proposes a projector of the elliptical type which comprises a main cover mounted to pivot about a transverse axis and which comprises a secondary cover mounted to pivot around an axis parallel to the optical axis.
  • the projector When the main cover is in the concealed position, that is to say in a transverse plane, and when the secondary cover is in the retracted position downwards, the projector produces a light beam with a first cut profile.
  • the projector produces a light beam with a second cut-off profile different from the first.
  • the secondary cover is provided to modify the cut made by the main cover in the lighting beam by increasing the obscured surface.
  • the secondary cover does not make it possible to produce a lighting beam which has a specific cut-off profile comprising a lighting zone that is less obscured relative to the first cut-off profile.
  • the secondary cover being of small dimensions, the thermal stresses to which it is subjected inside the projector can modify its geometry and cause malfunctions of the projector.
  • the road function is difficult to achieve due to the proximity of the pivot axis of the secondary cover with the upper part of the main cover, this proximity being imposed by the optical conjugation of the lens with the reflector.
  • document US-A-5 339 226 discloses an elliptical projector comprising a left cover and a right cover, pivotally mounted around an axis perpendicular to the optical axis of the projector.
  • Each cover consists of two parts extending in perpendicular and integral planes of the same rotation shaft.
  • the right and left covers are nested one inside the other so that the parts of the two covers can be combined in different ways to form beams with different cuts.
  • Such a design of covers is relatively complex, resulting in a high cost.
  • this headlamp can only produce cut-off or dipped beams, and not a main beam.
  • the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a projector equipped with movable covers which is simple and economical.
  • each cover has the form of a plate, in particular rectangular, comprising two substantially transverse and horizontal edges, and the pivot axis of each cover is arranged along one of its transverse edges.
  • a headlight 10 for a motor vehicle which comprises a lamp 12 mounted in the bottom of a reflector 14 of the elliptical type so that the filament 16 of the lamp 12 is located in the vicinity of a first reflector focus 14.
  • optical axis AA is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle that the headlight 10 equips.
  • the optical axis A-A is here substantially horizontal and it can be defined for example by the two focal points of the reflector 14.
  • a transverse direction is defined which is substantially horizontal and orthogonal to the optical axis A-A.
  • the headlamp 10 comprises a converging lens 18 which is mounted, at the front, in a frame part 20 of the headlamp 10 fixed to a front transverse surface 22 of the reflector 14.
  • the focal plane of the lens 18 passes in the vicinity of the second focal point of the reflector 14.
  • the headlamp 10 comprises a first cover 24 and a second cover 26 which are inserted axially (A-A) between the reflector 14 and the lens 18, in the vicinity of the focal plane of the lens 18.
  • a headlight optical unit 10 which is for example conventionally mounted in a housing (not shown) closed by a glass.
  • the first cover 24 and the second cover 26 are pivotally mounted relative to the reflector 14, each around a transverse geometric axis, respectively a rear axis A1 and a front axis A2, between a position retracted Pe and a concealing position Po.
  • the covers 24, 26 are for example pivotally mounted on an intermediate frame piece 27 which is axially interposed between the reflector 14 and the frame piece 20.
  • FIG. 3 is shown in a simplified manner the headlight 10 of FIG. 1. In this figure therefore appear a portion of the reflector 14 and the two covers 24, 26.
  • the rear transverse face 28 of the lens 18 has also been shown in broken lines.
  • actuators for controlling the covers 24, 26, here in the form of two electric motors 30, 32 are also shown.
  • control actuators could be used, for example actuators with electromagnets such as those which are used for pivoting the covers in document FR-A-2,796,449 to which reference may be made for more. details.
  • the electric motors 30, 32 are controlled by an electronic control unit (not shown).
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 the first cover 24 is shown in the concealed position Po and the second cover 26 is shown in the retracted position Pe.
  • each cover 24, 26 generally has the shape of a rectangular plate which, in the obscuring position Po, extends in a transverse and vertical plane, and which, in the retracted position Pe , extends in a horizontal plane.
  • the rectangular plates forming the covers 24, 26 have large dimensions, which favors their heat dissipation capacity and which allows them to be insensitive to thermal stresses inside the projector 10.
  • the first cover 24 will now be described when it occupies its concealed position Po.
  • the first cover 24 is in the form of a plate and it has two substantially transverse edges 34, 36 and, here by way of nonlimiting example, two lateral edges 38, 40 substantially vertical which give the plate a generally rectangular shape.
  • the geometric pivot axis A1 of the first cover 24 is arranged here along the lower transverse edge, or transverse pivot edge 34.
  • the first cover 24 comprises at each end of the transverse pivoting edge a shaft section 42, 44 which, on one side, is mounted to rotate freely in a bearing 43 and on the other side is rotatably connected to the drive shaft of an electric motor 30.
  • the transverse edge 36 opposite the transverse pivoting edge 34 forms the cutting edge of the cover 24, that is to say that it delimits a cutting profile for the light beam emitted by the projector 10 when the cover 24 occupies its blackout position Po.
  • the cutting edge 36 of the first cover 24 is for example provided to perform a lighting function of the "AFS” type.
  • it has a relief made of several horizontal portions and of several inclined portions which can enable it to perform a lighting function of the “Adverse Weather Lighting” type, that is to say a lighting function for circulation in rainy weather which limits the glare produced in the direction of vehicles traveling in opposite directions.
  • the cutting edge 36 of the first cover 24 can be provided to perform another type of lighting function, for example a lighting function for city traffic or a lighting function for highway traffic.
  • the second cover 26 is similar to the first cover 24 and it is shown in its retracted position Pe in FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • the second cover 26 therefore comprises a transverse cutting edge 46 and a transverse pivoting edge 48 which comprises at one end a shaft section 50 mounted free to rotate in a bearing 51, and at the opposite end a section shaft 52 which is linked in rotation to the drive shaft of a second electric motor 32.
  • one and / or the other cover 24 and 26 is secured to a toothed wheel meshing with an endless screw secured to the output shaft of the motors 30 and 32.
  • Such an arrangement has the advantage of an irreversible transmission of movement, and as a corollary that of ensuring that each cover has a stable position, both in the concealed position and in the retracted position.
  • the cutting edge 46 of the second cover 26 is for example provided to perform a low beam lighting function. It therefore comprises two horizontal portions 54, 56 offset vertically, in the obscuring position Po, and connected by an inclined portion 58 so that the headlight 10 produces a regulatory beam of low beam.
  • the cutting edges 36, 46 of the two covers 24, 26 are provided so that, when the two covers 24, 26 occupy their concealed position Po, the superposition of the covers 24, 26 along the optical axis AA allows perform an additional “AFS” lighting function.
  • this lighting function must include a lighting beam having a larger obscured portion than in each of the lighting functions associated with the two covers 24, 26, since the light beam associated with this additional lighting function will be obscured by both the first 24 and the second 26 caches.
  • This additional lighting function is for example a lighting function for city traffic in which (“TownLighting") the blackout is more important than in lighting in rainy weather (“Adverse Weather Lighting”).
  • the two pivot axes A1, A2 are adjacent and contained in the same horizontal plane, moreover they are located below the optical axis A-A.
  • the first cover 24 pivots about a quarter of a turn forward and upward, while the second cover 26 pivots about a quarter turn backwards and upwards.
  • the corresponding cover is controlled, here the second cover 26, in the masking position Po and the first cover 24 is controlled in the retracted position Pe, which corresponds to the situation shown in figure 4.
  • the first cover 24 folds inwards from the reflector 14, so that it covers a lower portion of the concave reflecting surface of the reflector 14. This characteristic is not detrimental because the area of the reflector 14 which it covers in the retracted position Pe has practically no optical function for producing the lighting beam.
  • the two covers 24, 26 are not in the path of the light rays producing the lighting beam, which makes it possible to obtain a beam of high beam having a maximum light intensity and therefore a effective high beam.
  • an improved lighting function is produced, here a lighting beam for circulation in the city.
  • the concealment effect produced by the two covers 24, 26 is superimposed and makes it possible to obtain a light beam having a specific cut-off profile, different from those obtained with only one of the covers 24, 26 in the concealment position Po.
  • At least one of the two covers 24, 26 may have its pivot axis A1, A2 arranged above the optical axis AA.
  • FIG. 2 there is shown the second cover 26 with its geometric pivot axis A2 arranged above the optical axis A-A.
  • the second cover 26 is shown in the masking position Po and the first cover 24 in the retracted position Pe.
  • the rectangular plate forming the second cover 26 comprises a lower blackout part 60 and an upper part 62 comprising a window 64 to allow the passage of the light beam in order to perform the associated lighting function, here the low beam function.
  • the window 64 is delimited downwards by the substantially transverse upper edge 66 of the blackout part 60 which forms the cutting edge of the cover.
  • the window 64 is delimited upwards by the upper transverse pivoting edge 68 of the cover 26, which carries at one end the shaft section 50 rotatably mounted in the associated bearing 51, and at the opposite end the section of shaft 52 linked to rotation with the drive shaft of the associated motor 32.
  • the cutting edge 66 and the pivoting edge 68 of the cover 26 are connected here by two vertical lateral uprights 70, 72.
  • the projector 10 may include an additional cover in order to perform at least one additional lighting function.
  • This additional cover can for example be arranged with its pivot axis above the optical axis AA, like the second cover in FIG. 2, the first cover 24 and the second cover 26 then being produced according to the embodiment described with reference to Figure 1.
