Definitions

  • the present invention relates to reflectors of headlights, fog lamps and other lighting means for vehicles, while in the field of commonly illuminating the invention relates to controlling thermal conditions in the interior of the reflector, meaningfully at least cooling the reflector, and actually also avoiding the inadmissible temperature difference between the hotest and coolest zone within the reflector.
  • the invention is based on the problem, how to concieve a reflector, which should enable achieving a required luminous intensity and optical characteristics and should consist of a polymeric material, which would enable achieving an essential improvement of thermal conditions in its interior, so that despite to long-term operation the wall thereof, which consists of a polymeric material, could not be overheated in the hotest zone in the upper area above the bulb, and moreover also the negative effects, which result from the presence of an essentially cooler zone in the lower area below the bulb, would also have to be avoided.
  • the term reflector describes a part of a headlight, which is mounted within a housing of such headlight or similar lighting means, and surrounds a bulb.
  • the headlight namely comprises, in addition to the said reflector and a bulb, also an appropriate casing, by which in the area of its casing in appropriate manner the reflector is attached, and moreover also a translucide covering glass sheet, which is placed over the reflector in order to protect it against the influences from the outside.
  • Reflector may be either spherical or elliptical or even otherwise shaped, which means that the reflection area of the reflector is formed onto a portion of surface, which belongs to a sphere, an ellipsoid or any other appropriate geometrical object.
  • the reflector is a body, which is a shell from quite geometrical point of view, having a desired thickness of the wall in the radial direction thereof.
  • a bulb is inserted within the reflector on a desired location, so that the heat beams, which are emitted by the bulb, are then reflected on the surface of the reflector in a desired direction.
  • the term reflector for the purposes of this application relates exclusively to reflectors, which consist of polymeric materials. Such version of reflectors is intended for mass production in a relatively simple and economic manner.
  • the bulb In addition to the luminiscence, the bulb also generates an essential amount of heat energy.
  • two main areas may be determined within the reflector, namely the lower area below the horizontal i.e. equatorial plane, in which the bulb is placed, as well as the upper area above the said plane of the bulb.
  • Reflector to which the present invention relates, consists of a polymeric material and is foreseen for headlights with housing and translucide covering glass and is merely intended for use in various vehicles.
  • Polymeric reflectors which may be coated with reflection layer without any previous treatment, represent an attractive and simple solution for vehicle headlights.
  • Reflection layer on the reflector is ordinary a thin metallic i.e. metallized layer, which is obtained by means of vacuum deposition.
  • small lighting means e.g. by fog lamps
  • the use of polymeric reflectors is limited by high temperature, which occurs on the reflector, more precisely in the upper area of the reflector, due to hot convective air column, which is moved upwards above the lighting body i.e. the bulb. This relates especially to reflectors with very small and hot surface.
  • Such lighting bodies are all kinds of bulbs with filament as well as modem discharging lamps.
  • the problem may occur, which relates to presence of the so-called cold zone in the lower area below the light source.
  • Such zone is mostly the coolest surface within the complete headlight housing.
  • the vaporized substances are condensed, which are before that evaporated from hot portions of the polymeric casing or also from the adhesive on the headlight housing.
  • a certain quantity of condensed water may be present.
  • Such phenomena is a consequence of the lack of heat accumulation in the lower area of the reflector, which is then the first cooled below the condensation point of the moisture, which is present in the air.
  • the present invention relates to a reflector, which consists of a polymeric material, which is resistant with respect to possible deviations of form and dimensions when being exposed to an increased temperature, and comprises an internal surface, which extends adjacent to the bulb and is provided with a reflection layer.
  • the said bulb is placed in the central area, where a stable insertion of such bulb is ensured by means of sufficient thickness of the wall.
  • the thickness of the wall in the upper area of the shell of the reflector, which is placed above the area of insertion the bulb is smaller than the thickness of the wall in the lower area of the shell, which lies below the area of insertion the bulb.
  • the thickness of the wall in the lower area of the shell of the reflector below the area of insertion the bulb is 1,5-times do 2-times greater than the thickness of the wall in the upper area of the shell of the reflector above the area of insertion the bulb.
  • the reflector according to the invention is characterized in that at least a portion thereof, namely at least the wall thereof, consists of a thermoplastic polymer either without filling agents or with filling agents, which are smaller than 3 ⁇ m, by which appropriate resistance with respect to deviations in geometry due to increasing the temperature is ensured at least up to temperature value of 120°C.
  • the reflector according to the invention is characterized in that at least a portion thereof, namely at least the wall thereof, consists of an amorphous polymer without filling agents, which belongs to the group of polycarbonates, polyethersulphones or polyeterimides.
  • the said reflection layer on the internal surface of the shell is a metallized layer, especially vacuum deposited, in particular vaporized layer.
  • the thickness of the wall in the upper area of the shell of the reflector above the area of insertion the bulb is 1 to 2 mm, preferably 1,4 to 1,8 mm, while the thickness of the wall in the lower area of the shell of the reflector below the area of insertion the bulb is 1,6 to 4 mm, preferably 2,2 to 3 mm.
  • the reflector is suggested, by which at least two areas are characteristic, namely the upper area, in which the thickness of the wall is smaller than the thickness of the wall in the central area of the reflector, as well as the lower area, in which the thickness of the wall is greater than the thickness in the central area of the reflector, in which the bulb is inserted and which in common remains the same as by the previously known reflectors.
  • the upper area in which the thickness of the wall is smaller than the thickness of the wall in the central area of the reflector
  • the lower area in which the thickness of the wall is greater than the thickness in the central area of the reflector, in which the bulb is inserted and which in common remains the same as by the previously known reflectors.
  • Still another embodiment of the reflector according to invention is equipped with relatively rigid carrying ring, which is either continously or discontinously arranged arround the shell of the reflector with various thickness of the wall, and which serves for attachment of the reflector within each belonging housing, so that due to the presence of the said ring an upwardly closed wedge-shaped is formed, in which then hot air may be collected.
  • the said ring or also an appropriate connecting element between the said ring and the shell is equipped with at least one opening or similar passage.
  • the said opening are foreseen, which may either be arranged in the top area of the carrying ring in a position, which is situated at the maximum distance above the equatorial plane, or adjacent to this area, or also in the top area of the connecting element when available between the shell and the carrying ring, or even in the top area of the said ring and in the top area of the said the carrying element between the ring and the shell, by which the thickness of the wall of the shell in the area above the equatorial plane is smaller than the thickness of the wall of the shell in the area below the equatorial plane.
  • the opening may be formed either as a single opening or may also consist of a desired number of separately arranged openings.
  • Still further measure in course of efficient heat transfer includes determining of appropriate roughness on the external surface of the reflector shell, which should in accordance with the invention be between 0,003 and 0,01 mm. Such roughness should be ensured on the external surface of the shell at least in the upper area of the reflector above the horizontal i.e. equatorial plane, at least essentially adjacent to the location of the bulb. Such roughness is achieved by means of presence of punctiform and/or line shaped cavities and/or projections of relatively slope triangular or trapezoidal longitudinal cross-section on the said surface.
  • the thickness D 0 of the wall 10 of the shell 3 should be 2,2 mm along the complete circumference, and the heat conductivity is 0,24 W/mK; when by such thermally stressed reflector 1 the measured temperature on the external surface 14 is 168°C, then the temperature on the internal surface 13 may be spiritualally calculated, and is 204,7°C.
  • a reflector 1 with equal optical characteristics and dimensions at the one hand has smaller thickness D, of the wall 10 of the reflector 1 in its upper area 11 on the other hand, by which this thickness D, is e.g. 1,7 mm, and when the measured external temperature is 167°C (which means practically the same thermal stresses), then the temperature on the internal surface 13 of the reflector 13 may be evaluated on the basis of thickness D, of the wall 10 as well as of the thermal conductivity, and should be only 195°C.
  • the wall 10 is thinned along the complete upper area 11, i.e. within the complete top half of the reflector 1 above the bulb 4, then the heat flux is distributed from the hotest zone above the bulb 4 towards the other surfaces, which are available adjacent to the hotest zone.
  • the most desired embodiment of the upper area 11 of the shell 3 of the reflector 3 is a thinn membrane, which is in the praxis however not really applicable.
  • Manufacturing of such headlight is ordinary carried out by means of injection molding, which is bound to certain limitations, so that by smaller reflectors 1 the minimum thickness D, of the wall 10 should be at least 1 mm.
  • Manufacturing by means of injection molding is no doubt the optimum choice, which should not be changed due to any other creations and requirements in reflector, which do not relate to heat transfer.
  • the minimum thickness D, of the wall 10 may be varied depending on diameter of the reflector 1, requirements with respect to adaquately precise directing the light rays, or also on thermal expansion coefficient in corelation with the module of elasticity, which correspond to the material used.
  • the thickness D, the wall 10 in amount of at least 1,5 mm is still acceptable, however by taking into account, that the bulb 4 is built within a rigid central area 100 and/or a lower area 12 of the reflector 1, which should however not represent any serious obstacle in course of successfully realization of the invention.
  • Effects related to thickening the lower area 12 of the shell 3 of the reflector 1 may also be illustrated by means of an embodiment of reflector 1, which consists of polyetherimid and has diameter of 75 mm.
  • reflector 1 completely corrresponds to the above mentioned reflector 1, in connection to which the effects related to thinning the wall 10 in the upper area 11 of the shell 3 have already been described, by taking into account, that in this case the thickness D 2 of the wall 10 is 2.2. mm and that thermal conductivity is 0,22 W/mK, which is a consequence of some lower temperature in this lower area 12 of the shell 3.
  • the measured temperature on its external surface 14 is 70°C.
  • the internal temperature 81.5°C is spiritualally calculated.
  • the measured temperature on the external surface 14 in the lower area 12 of the shell 3 is 69°C, which is a consequence of reduction of the heat flux, whilst the temperature 83°C on the internal wall 10 within the same area 12 of the shell 3 of the reflector 1 is spiritualally calculated.
  • the thickness D 2 of the wall 10 in the lower area 12 of the reflector 1 would exceed a double thickness D, of the wall 10 in the upper area 11 of the reflector 1, addition problems would arise in course of disturbances during filling the mould cavity with the melted material due to insufficient hydraulic resistance in direction towards the thicker lower area 12 of the reflector 1. Of that reason, the thickness D 2 of the wall 10 in the lower area 12 of the reflector 1 shall not exceed a double thickness D, of the wall 10 in the upper area 11 of the reflector 1.
  • Combination of benefits which are obtained by means of thinning the upper area 11 and thickening the lower area 12 of the shell 3 of the reflector 1, may be analysed on the basis of a comparable reflector 1 having a diameter of 75 mm (which is the same reflector 1 as in the previously discussed embodiments, at least with respect to optical characteristics and dimensions), by which the thickness D 2 of the wall 10 in the lower area 12 is 2,8 mm, and the thickness D 1 of the wall 10 in the upper area 11 is 1,7 mm, while the thickness D 0 of the wall 10 in the central area 100 in the level of the bulb 4 i.e. in the so-called equatorial plane, is 2,2 mm.
  • the measured temperature on the external surface 14 of the lower area 12 of the shell 3, which is thinned upwards and thicked downwards, is 66°C. Additional decreasing of temperature for 3°C is a consequence of thinning the upper area 11. This is no doubt valuable, since thinning the wall 10 in the upper area 11 of the shell 3 results in decreasing the temperature also in other portions, where potential sources of vaporized substances may be present, which are normally condensed in the lower part 12 of the reflector 1.
  • Thickening the lower area 12 of the reflector 1 among others also leads to establishing much more stable fixation of the bulb 4 in the central area 100 and preventing its deviations from the correct position due to extension of the warmed upper area 11 of the reflector 1.
  • each desired thickness D 0 , D 1 , D 2 of the wall 10 of the reflector 1 may be determined depending on local temperature. Accordingly, smaller thickness D 0 , D 1 , D 2 of the wall 10 may be foreseen in the area with higher temperature.
  • the reflector 1 consists of a polymer without filling agents, or exceptionally also with filling agents, the dimensions of which do not exceed 3 ⁇ m.
  • Such polymeres may namely be coated in vacuum by a metallic reflection layer 2 without applying a lacque onto the internal surface 13 before that.
  • Reflector 1 by which a desired heat transfer is achieved by means of determining appropriate values of thickness D 0 , D 1 , D 2 in certain areas 11, 12, 100 of the wall 10, may no doubt also consist of reactive polymeres. These are normally filed with rough filling agents. During the manufacturing of the reflector 1, the presence of such agents normally requires appropriate pre-treatment of the inner surface 13 by applying a lacquer.
  • thermoplastic polycarbonates co-polymeres of polycarbonates, polyether-sulphones and polyetherimides, all of them without any filling agents.
  • thermoplastic polymeres which excel in appropriate behaviour during processing thereof by injection molding, and may moreover be regenerated i.e. recycled.
  • a further embodiment which is shown in Figs. 3 to 5 , relates to a reflector 1 as well, which is manufactured of a polymeric material and consists of a carrying ring 2 and a shell 3, wherein the last one comprises a concave internal surface 13, on which appropriate reflecticve layer is foreseen, as well as a convex external surface 14.
  • the said ring 2 is essentially cyllindric or thoroidal, and may be either continued or discontinued, so that it is formed of more segments, extending in the circumferential direction.
  • the shell 3 of the reflector 1 comprises a tube-like projection 33, which includes appropriate opening, into which the bulb 4 is inserted with its base or bracket, which is arranged in the horizontal equatorial plane 30 and is not shown in the drawing.
  • the thickness of the wall 10 in the upper area 11 of the shell 3 above the equatorial plane 30 of the reflector 1 i.e. above the bulb 4, as shown in Fig. 1 or 2 may be smaller than the thickness in the lower area 12 of the shell 3 below the said plane 30 i.e. the bulb 4, by which the heat transfer from the inside of the reflector 1 towards the outside thereof may be much more intensive, especially the transfer from the upper area 11 of the shell 3 above the said plane 30 towards the area adjacent to the external surface 14 above the said plane 30.
  • an upwardly closed wedge-shaped space 23 is present between the carrying ring 2 and the outer surface 14 of the shell 3.
  • the shell 3 is connected to the said ring 2 by means of a relatively thin connecting element 21, which extends continuously along the curcumference thereof.
  • At least one opening 22 is foreseen at least in the upper area of the connecting element 21 between the bearing ring 2 and the shell 3, which is situated at a maximum distance from the equatorial plane 30 and enables draining of heated air, which is collected within the said wedge-shaped space 23.
  • a desired decreasing of temperature within the said space 23 may be achieved, by means of which also the difference between the temperature of the internal surface 13 and the temperature of the external surface 14 is increased, on the basis of which the heat transfer from the inside of the reflector 1 towards the outside thereof becomes adequately more intensive.
  • FIG. 6 A still further measurement in course of improvement the thermic conditions in the reflector 1 is shown in Fig. 6 .
  • the outward surface 14 at least in the upper area 11 of the shell 3 is characterized by appropriate, in advance determined roughness, which means, that it includes cavities and projections having determined dimensions.
  • a characteristic rough surface 14 is carried out in such a manner, that it includes adequately slope cavities or projections in form of pyramid and/or truncated pyramid and/or cone and/or truncated cone of appropriate depth or height ⁇ , by which such roughness essentially improves emissivity of electromagnetic radiation.
  • the temperature of the wall 10 in the upper area 11 of the shell 3 is approx. 400 K, and the majority of energy, which is radiated by the reflector 1, represents radiation in the area of wavelengths between 3,5 in 25 ⁇ m.
  • Appropriate roughness, which leads to improvement of emisiveness, corresponds to approximately a tenth of the maximum wavelength, which means, that the minimal depth/height ⁇ of the said cavities/projections on the surface 14 should be approximately 0,003 mm.
  • roughness of the external surface 14 may also lead to forming a static air layer, which is in fact a heat insulating layer on the external surface 14 of the shell 3.
  • the roughness ⁇ of the external surface 14 of the shell 3 in the upper area 11 of the reflector 1 at least adjacent to the area 100 of insertion a bulb 4 and in the neigborhood thereof should be between 0,003 and 0,01 mm.
  • appropriate roughness ⁇ in the area between 0,003 and 0,01 mm on the external surface 14 of the shell 3 of the reflector 1 may be obtained by means of relatively slope punctiform cavities and/or projections, which are triangular or trapezoidal in their longitudinal cross-section and are arranged on the said surface 14.
