Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a projector device comprising a multifunctional actuator block.
  • actuator is meant an electrotechnical element, engine type, associated with a kinematic chain allowing the movement of a target element.
  • an actuator comprises an electronic control card for managing its operation.
  • the actuator block present in the projector device according to the invention is multifunctional: it allows a first function consisting in the tilting of a pivoting flap within the projector device, and a second function, called DBL function.
  • An essential object of the invention is to be able to perform these two functions, within a same projector device, occupying as limited a volume as possible and without the various elements involved in the kinematics of these two functions interfering with each other.
  • dual-function projector which combines the functions of low beam and long range lights: for this purpose, for example, there may be inside the bifunctional projector a removable cover that can pass on command of a first position in which it obscures a part of the light signal produced by the light source of the headlamp, the scope of the headlamp being thus limited to that of the dipped headlamps so as not to dazzle the other drivers, to a second position in which does not obscure the light signal produced by the light source of the headlamp, the range of the headlamp then corresponding to that of the high beam, as described in EP 1 197 387 .
  • This exemplary embodiment is mainly implemented in elliptical projectors devices.
  • a removable cover can adopt more than two positions to obscure in a few ways selectively the light beam emitted by the source: it can thus have caches bi function traffic code right / traffic code left, caches tri-function traffic code right / traffic code left / route etc ....
  • This type of projector is in fact a headlamp-type headlamp, equipped with a tilting infra-red filter, which can be placed on command from a first position in which it filters all the light signals produced by the light source. the projector, so that only the infra-red, glare-free rays actually emerge from the projector device, to a second position in which the filter does not obscure any light signal produced by the light source of the projector, the range of the corresponding projector then to that of the driving lights.
  • a headlamp-type headlamp equipped with a tilting infra-red filter, which can be placed on command from a first position in which it filters all the light signals produced by the light source. the projector, so that only the infra-red, glare-free rays actually emerge from the projector device, to a second position in which the filter does not obscure any light signal produced by the light source of the projector, the range of the corresponding projector then to that of the driving lights.
  • the removable cover and the infra-red filter are two particular examples of pivoting shutter involved in the first function of the projector device according to the invention.
  • DBL Dynamic Bending Light in English for light bend mobile
  • the first actuator comprises a first motor which, in the state of the art, is arranged in a first housing on a front part of the projector device, and which would hinder the movement generated by the actuator associated with the second function, this second actuator being arranged in a second housing on a rear portion of the projector device.
  • the presence of these two separate boxes is also penalizing in terms of space.
  • Such a lighting device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from FR-A-2808750.
  • a projector device which has a single multifunctional actuator block in which different elements are grouped together, in particular a first motor and / or a second motor, allowing the implementation of a failover function. a swivel flap and a DBL function.
  • the multifunctional actuator block is integrated in a housing that is movable along an axis of rotation allowing the movement corresponding to the DBL function of the projector device. All the elements involved in the actuators associated with these two functions are attached to the mobile housing, so that the elements of the two actuators follow the rotational movement generated by the DBL function, thus ensuring the possibility of implementing the first one. function regardless of the orientation of the projector device imposed by the second function.
  • the movable flap can move by a pivoting movement relative to an axis, or by a rotational movement or translation.
  • a fixed tooth sector 129 is used, which remains stationary relative to the fixed frame 120, for example by being fixed directly to the fixed frame 120.
  • the fixed toothed sector 129 collaborates with the second pinion 114 for driving the mobile housing 119 in rotation about an axis of rotation shown by the two circular protuberances 124, rotation illustrated in FIG. figure 3 by a first arrow 130.
  • the fixed tooth sector is at least partially circular.
  • the second gear 114 consists of a first stage 131 and a second stage 132, the first stage and the second stage respectively corresponding to a first gear wheel and a second gear wheel, the two wheels teeth being coaxial and of different diameter.
  • Such a structure makes it possible to respect a reduction ratio between the speed of rotation imposed by the motor and an angular speed which the projector device must respect when it is rotating in order to implement the DBL function.
  • the first function namely the tilting of the pivoting flap 106
  • activates the first motor 110 which, by means of a motor rod not visible in the figures, drives in rotation the first gear 111 which was previously, during assembly of the various elements constituting the projector device, meshing into the toothed wheel 107.
  • the latter being secured to the pivoting flap 106, it drives in rotation about an axis of rotation materialized by the two circular tips 108, rotation illustrated in FIG. figure 4 by a second arrow 133.
  • the two actuators allowing the implementation of the first function and the second function thus constitute a single actuator block: the first motor 110 and the second motor 112, as well as the various elements involved in the kinematic chains allowing the movement of the target elements.
  • the pivoting flap 106 or the rotating mobile housing 119 are maintained or attached to different compartments of the same element, the mobile housing 119.
  • the latter thus comprises, in addition to the various compartments and elements of maintenance previously mentioned, at least one holding pin 134, each holding pin 134 being intended to be introduced into a circular opening 135 of the reflector 101, and a circular opening 136 of the photometric plate 105 to maintain these two elements.
  • the projector device according to the invention the number of parts involved in the performance of the two functions is reduced: by the integration of different elements of the two actuators in - or on - the rotating mobile housing 119, no specific housing is used for each actuator; this limits the mounting difficulties of the projector device and the risk of mutual blocking, mentioned above, of the two functions.
  • the projector device proposed in the invention constitutes a standard that can fulfill either the first function, or the second function, or both functions: it suffices, in the first case and the second case, to remove the actuator that will not be used, and adapt the electronic means, here the electronic card 115, accordingly.
  • the projector device according to the invention can be used both as a left projector and right projector of a vehicle.
