Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to lighting or lighting devices. signaling, whose light sources are incandescent, and which one wishes to change by light sources of the light-emitting diode type.
- Such a situation can for example be encountered in lighting or lighting devices.
- signaling of motor vehicles such lighting or signaling devices comprising incandescent light sources alone or associated with sources made up of light-emitting diodes.
- Light-emitting diodes have, in known manner, a long service life higher than that of incandescent sources.
- the use of diodes light-emitting allows to take advantage of their small footprint to achieve relatively compact lighting or signaling devices.
- the low heat generation caused by the operation of light emitting diodes allows for example to use in their immediate environment plastics, whereas incandescent or halogen lamps would impose under the same conditions the use of materials capable of withstanding high temperatures. This therefore results in a reduced size and cost.
- incandescent sources with diodes electroluminescent, but it is then necessary to profoundly modify the structure of the lighting or signaling device to be able to do so.
- the devices lighting or signaling must emit, depending on the lighting or signaling in which the incandescent source is used, a light beam whose photometry is defined by law. Simply replacing a source at incandescent by a light emitting diode will then result in the beam light will no longer have regulatory photometry.
- the lighting or signaling device includes both incandescent sources and light emitting diodes to perform different functions. By construction, it is then necessary to provide in this lighting device or signaling, two different printed circuits, one for incandescent sources, the other for light-emitting diodes, so that the light beams emitted by these different sources are regulatory.
- the present invention is placed in this context and it aims to provide a module for using a diode in a lighting or signaling device electroluminescent instead of an incandescent source, without having to rearrange completely the architecture of the lighting or signaling device, and allowing also to produce a lighting or signaling device comprising both incandescent sources and light emitting diodes, which has only one printed circuit to supply the two types of light sources.
- the present invention therefore relates to a positioning module and for supplying a light-emitting diode, the module comprising a housing forming support for at least one light-emitting diode and a power connector electric.
- the connector has the shape and dimensions of the base of a incandescent lamp, the housing and the connector being in one piece, and the diode electroluminescent being mounted on a printed circuit.
- the figures show a module for positioning and supplying a light emitting diode, this module being designated as a whole by the reference 10.
- the module includes a housing 12 forming a support for at least one light-emitting diode 14, two such diodes having been shown in FIG. 1.
- the diodes 14 are mounted on a printed circuit 16, the outer periphery of which complements the shape of the wall interior 18 of the housing 12.
- the housing 12 is closed by a cover 20, made of a transparent material of so as to allow the passage of the light rays emitted by the light-emitting diode 14 according to a general direction of emission X.
- the housing includes stops 22 on which the printed circuit carrying the diodes 14 abuts.
- the stops 22 can for example be obtained by shoulders 22 formed on the inner wall 18 of the case 12.
- the housing 12 also includes a power supply connector 24. From advantageously, the housing 12 and the connector 24 are in one piece, and obtained by example by injection molding of a thermoplastic material.
- the connector 24 has the shape and the dimensions the base of an incandescent lamp.
- the connector 24 is cylindrical, and includes protrusions 26 allowing its mounting at bayonet in a conventional socket, intended to receive the base of a lamp with incandescence.
- the module comprises electrical conductors 28 and 30 between the connector 24 and the printed circuit 16 carrying the or light emitting diodes.
- Such conductors are shown in Figures 3 and 4, and are more particularly intended to ensure a central electrical contact in the axis of the cylindrical connector 24 and an electrical contact at the periphery of the connector 24.
- the conductor 28 may have tabs 32 for contact peripheral, these tabs 32 passing through openings 34 formed in the connector 24.
- the tabs 32 can be obtained by folding a tongue 34, the latter possibly being continue with a part 36 intended to come into contact with the printed circuit 16 and be connected, for example by soldering.
- the conductor 28 will advantageously be made in one material with a certain elasticity, so as to ensure good electrical contact between the lugs 32 and the electrical studs contained in the socket receiving the connector 24.
- the conductor 30 can be made in the form of a pawn cylindrical, and ensure a central electrical contact in the axis of the cylindrical connector 24.
- the conductor 30 is formed with a first end 38 in the center of the connector 24 ensuring electrical contact with a central electrical stud contained in the receiving socket the connector 24, and with a second end 40 intended to come into contact with the circuit printed 16 and be connected to it, for example by soldering.
- the conductors 28 and 30 are held in place in the connector 24 while being separated from each other, the connector being for example obtained by overmolding of the material insulator constituting the housing 12 and the connector 24 on the conductors 28 and 30.
- the transparent cover 20 includes means for deflecting the light rays emitted by the diode or diodes electroluminescent 14.
- Such deflection means can for example comprise a first element 42, located in the vicinity of the diode or diodes 14, and capable of distributing the light emitted by the one or more light-emitting diodes in an XY plane essentially perpendicular to the direction general emission X, essentially homogeneously on a second element 44, in general form of plate and able to straighten the light incident on it substantially towards the general direction of emission X'-X, depending on the lighting or signaling function concerned.
- a first element 42 located in the vicinity of the diode or diodes 14, and capable of distributing the light emitted by the one or more light-emitting diodes in an XY plane essentially perpendicular to the direction general emission X, essentially homogeneously on a second element 44, in general form of plate and able to straighten the light incident on it substantially towards the general direction of emission X'-X, depending on the lighting or signaling function concerned.
- Such deflection means are for example described in document FR-A-2 813 379, in the name of the Claimant.
- the cover 20 may by example include ribs 46, intended to cooperate with grooves 48 formed in the inner wall 18 of the housing 12.
- the module 10 is then ready to be used. As shown schematically in section in Figure 2, simply engage the connector 24 in the socket 50 provided in the lighting or signaling device to be fitted.
- This socket 50 was for example provided to receive the base of an incandescent lamp, cooperating with a reflector 52 for form a lighting or signaling beam.
- the module is fixed in the socket 50 by a rotation, so that the module 10 is mounted at bayonet in the socket 50.
- the connector 24 is thus used both for positioning the module in the lighting or signaling device, and its power supply.
- a module has therefore been produced according to the present invention which makes it possible to use in a lighting or signaling device a light-emitting diode in place of a incandescent source, without having to completely overhaul the architecture of the device lighting or signaling, and also making it possible to produce a lighting or signaling system comprising both incandescent sources and diodes electroluminescent, which has only one printed circuit to supply power of two types of light sources, the module itself comprising the printed circuit for the supply of the light-emitting diode (s) it contains.
