Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for fixing a lamp of the discharge lamp type, also called xenon lamp, on a lamp holder of a lighting and / or signaling device, of the projector type, of a motor vehicle.
  • the invention has applications in the field of the automobile and, more specifically, in the field of lighting of motor vehicles. It aims, in particular, to develop a quick fixing of a discharge lamp with the possibility of interchangeability between different models of discharge lamps.
  • the lighting devices are provided with light sources which can be of different kinds.
  • the vehicle headlamps can be equipped with several light sources, which can be of two different kinds, for example: a halogen lamp and a discharge lamp.
  • the light source is equipped with a high voltage module that provides power to the lamp of the discharge lamp.
  • each of these lamps includes a discharge bulb, a bulb foot and a high voltage module.
  • the high voltage module is immovably fixed in the case of a lamp D1 and, conversely, removably in the case of a lamp D2.
  • the high voltage module is an integral part of the lamp. More specifically, the discharge bulb is surmounted by a high voltage module, integral with said bulb. This module most often has an outer contour generally substantially square, a relatively small footprint compared to a lamp D2 and its module, which will be described later.
  • the change of this bulb and high voltage module assembly is relatively difficult because, firstly, of the difficulty of access to the lamp D1 and operations to be performed to remove the faulty assembly and install the new set and the fact , on the other hand, risks due to the high voltage present in the module.
  • the high voltage module is not integrated in the lamp; it constitutes an independent piece, removably mounted on the lamp: it is fixed on the bulb after the introduction of the bulb in the reflector. It is therefore possible, during the assembly and disassembly of the projector, to disconnect the high voltage module from the bulb.
  • This has a certain advantage over the lamp D1. Indeed, with a lamp D2, it is possible, when the bulb is defective, to change only the bulb and keep the high voltage module initial. However, changing a bulb in a D2 lamp is even more delicate than changing the bulb and module assembly for a D1 lamp. Indeed, in the difficult place of access that is a projector, the user must first remove the module, and remove the bulb; he must then change the bulb and put the module back on the bulb, with all the risks inherent to the high voltage in the module.
  • the geometry and the bulk of the lamps D1 and D2 are different. Different fixing systems are therefore necessary to fix a lamp D1 and a lamp D2 on a lamp holder reflector.
  • the lamps D1 and D2 are not interchangeable in the same projector.
  • fixing rings removable, fixed on the reflectors of the projectors by screw systems. These screw systems require, on the part of the user, a series of rotational movements.
  • the environment of a lamp in a projector is relatively small, which makes these rotational movements difficult and painful to achieve for the user.
  • the screw systems are, by nature, removable.
  • a vehicle in operation vibrates. And, the vibrations of this vehicle can cause a progressive unscrewing of the ring and, consequently, an undesirable disassembly of the lamp.
  • some fastening systems are equipped with a locking means.
  • This locking means may be, for example, a spring-type spring leaf system which bears on the high voltage module of the lamp, preventing any unplanned disassembly.
  • a spring-type spring leaf system which bears on the high voltage module of the lamp, preventing any unplanned disassembly.
  • Such a system is described in patent EP 1 065 438.
  • the closure of such a leaf spring system requires additional movement on the part of the user, which further complicates the change of bulb by the user.
  • the actuation of such a leaf spring causes a relatively large clearance, inappropriate for a small environment such as that of a projector.
  • the object of the invention is precisely to overcome the disadvantages of the techniques described above by providing an improved fixing system for lamp D1 and lamp D2, and which is in particular non-removable and / or simpler to implement.
  • This fastening system makes it possible to hold and lock the discharge bulb with the lamp holder.
  • the invention uses the assembly of an immovable flexible ring on the projector lamp holder and a rigid ring movable relative to the flexible ring.
  • the fixing system of the invention also comprises means capable of ensuring electrical continuity between the conductive housing of the xenon lamp enclosing the high voltage module and a conductive area of the counterpart mentioned above.
  • This electrical continuity is very useful to fight against electromagnetic interference created by the operation of the xenon lamp.
  • An electromagnetic shielding is thus obtained, knowing that, further upstream, the electrical continuity of the conductive housing of the module is also ensured.
  • high voltage from the lamp to the ballast also generally arranged in a conductive housing: the electrical continuity between the two housings can be done by the shielded power cable (for example using a conductive sheath). The invention thus makes it possible simultaneously to assemble the lamp mechanically and to contribute to the electromagnetic shielding thereof.
  • the invention also relates to a motor vehicle, which comprises at least one lighting and / or signaling device described above.
  • FIG. 1 represents an exemplary fastening system according to the invention mounted around a light source D2.
  • This figure shows a lamp 1 mounted on a counterpart 2 of the projector by means of a fastening system 3.
  • the counterpart 2 is the part of the projector comprising a reflector 21 and a lamp holder 22.
  • the lamp holder 22 and the reflector 21 together form a single piece 2.
  • the lamp holder can also not integral part of the reflector 21; in this case, it is fixed integrally to the reflector at the time of mounting the projector.
  • the lamp holder 22 for example of cylindrical shape, has the role of supporting the discharge bulb of the lamp 1. It also allows to center and orient the bulb inside the reflector 21.
  • the fastening system 3 of the invention is mounted around this lamp holder 22.
  • the fastening system 3 comprises a rigid ring 4 and a flexible ring 5 assembled so that the rigid ring is movable relative to the flexible ring.
  • the flexible ring 5 has contact tongues 51 which provide electrical contact with the high voltage module of the lamp 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows a fastening system of the invention mounted around a lamp D1.
  • This FIG. 2 shows the counterpart 2 of the headlamp, with the reflector 21 and the lamp holder 22, on which the fixing system 3 of the invention and the lamp 6 are mounted.
  • As in the example of FIG. 3 comprises a rigid ring 4 and a flexible ring 5 assembled so that the rigid ring is movable relative to the flexible ring.
  • the flexible ring 5 has contact tabs, not visible in this figure 2, which provide electrical contact with the high voltage module of the lamp 4.
  • the fastening system 3 comprises a rigid ring shown in Figure 4 and a flexible ring shown in Figures 3A and 3B. Regardless of the lamp mounted in the projector, a D1 lamp or a D2 lamp, the rigid ring is identical. On the other hand, the flexible ring differs according to whether it is a D1 lamp or a D2 lamp. As will be seen later, this difference essentially relates to the contact tabs. The characteristics of the flexible ring other than the contact tongues are the same for a lamp ring D1 as for a lamp ring D2.
  • FIG. 3A shows an example of a flexible ring 5 for a lamp D1.
  • This flexible ring 5 is electrically conductive. It is made of a flexible and electrically conductive material, such as hardened steel. It thus ensures an electrical function, at the same time, by internal contact on the counterpart and by contact of the contact tabs on the high voltage module of the lamp.
  • This flexible ring 5 has a shape substantially circular; more specifically, it has a circular shape when the fastening system is in the locked position; it is circular in segments, or sectors, when the fastening system is in the unlocked position. In other words, the flexible ring 5 has a tangential spacing greater at one point than at another point, that is to say, greater at the end of the segment than at the beginning of the segment.
  • This flexible ring 5 comprises a plurality of tongues or claws, such as, for example, the holding tabs 51, whose role is to ensure the axial temporary retention between the rigid ring and the flexible ring 5 and the attachment claws 52 which lock the lamp in the fixing system.
  • These tongues ensure the maintenance of the flexible ring in the ring, especially when the projecting sector 42 of the ring is fitted into one of the cavities of the flexible ring.
  • the holding tongues 51 also constitute the contact tongues of the fastening system, that is to say the tongues which ensure the electrical continuity and the electromagnetic shielding between the module. high voltage and the counterpart of the projector.
  • this flexible ring 5 comprises at least two fixing lugs 53 able to fit into fastening means of the counterpart.
  • These fixing lugs 53 are located at the base of the ring 5, that is to say on the circumference of the ring opposite to the contact tongues 51. They each comprise at least one bezel 54, that is, that is to say, an orifice made in the fixing lug, intended to hang in a harpoon of the counterpart.
  • the end of each fixing lug 53 may comprise a chamfer 55, at its free end, adapted to abut against locking lugs of the rigid ring.
  • the flexible ring 5 also comprises a positioning clip 50 of the ring in the rigid ring.
  • This clip 50 is a tab folded at its free end to form a hook.
  • This clip 50 provides an angular positioning of the flexible ring 5 relative to the rigid ring, before assembling the ring / ring assembly on the counterpart.
  • the clip ensures the positioning of the ring after locking the lamp.
  • this clip 50 is intended to be housed in a cavity of the rigid ring.
  • the flexible ring 5 can be made by cutting and forming in a metal plate.
  • This metal plate may be a steel plate, treated after cutting and forming. Each claw, leg and other tabs are made by cutting and folding.
  • the circular shape of the ring is obtained by forming the cut plate.
  • the cut and shaped plate is latched, in its circular form, by a fastening system 58.
  • This fastening system 58 may comprise a hook 56 obtained by forming a tongue at one end of the metal plate and a bezel 57 obtained by cutting in the other end of said metal plate.
  • the hook 56 is inserted into the bezel 57 to keep the ring closed.
  • the bezel 57 may comprise two tips called "fir" which ensure a non-removable connection.
  • Fig. 3B shows an example of flexible ring for lamp D2.
  • This flexible ring 5 comprises, as previously explained, holding tabs 51, contact tabs 59, fastening claws 52, fixing tabs 53 each with a bezel 54 and a bevel 55 and a positioning clip 50.
  • the contact tongues 59 are longer than the contact tabs 51 of the lamp ring D1, because they must ensure electrical contact with the outside of the connector of the high voltage module of the lamp D2 .
  • the contact tongues provide electrical contact with a metal zone located under the connector of the lamp D1.
  • the holding tongues 51 are also longer than the holding tongues 51 of FIG.
  • the flexible ring 5 is mounted in a rigid ring 4.
  • This rigid ring is made of a non-flexible material such as plastic or plastic. stainless steel.
  • This rigid ring 4 has projecting sectors 42, or cams, in the upper part of the ring 4, that is to say on the base of the ring located near the lamp. These salient areas are planned to fit into the hooks formed by the holding tabs 51 of the flexible ring 5. The positioning of these projecting sectors 42 in the holding tabs 51 of the flexible ring 5 ensures the axial retention of the flexible ring in the ring during assembly.
  • the rigid ring 4 also comprises centering sectors 41 disposed on the inner wall of said ring and ensuring a centering of the ring / ring assembly on the lamp holder. These centering sectors 41 are located in an area of the inner wall of the ring which, after assembly with the flexible ring, is covered by said ring.
  • the rigid ring 4 further comprises at least one cavity 43 intended to receive the clip 50.
  • This cavity 43 is formed in the thickness of the wall of the ring. It preferably has a V shape adapted to receive the hook of the positioning clip 50 of the flexible ring 5.
  • This clip in position in the cavity 43 of the ring ensures the angular positioning of the ring relative to the ring when assembly.
  • a second cavity may be present (not shown in the figures), to ensure the positioning of the ring after locking the lamp.
  • the rigid ring 4 also has locking lugs 44 which ensure the locking of the ring on the lamp holder.
  • These lugs 44 are located at the base of the ring 4, that is to say on the lower part of the wall of the ring, in prominence of this wall.
  • These lugs 44 each comprise a clearance 45, that is to say a central area less prominent, which allows the engagement of the ring 4 on the lamp holder, without interfering with harpoons 24 of the lamp holder.
  • These lugs 44 allow to orient the ring on the lamp holder.
  • These lugs can be of different sizes and shapes, thus providing a keying role during assembly on the lamp holder.
  • this assembly can be mounted on the lamp holder of the projector.
  • FIG. 5 An example of a counterpart capable of receiving the fastening system 3 of the invention is shown in FIG. 5.
  • This counterpart 2 comprises a reflector 21 and a lamp holder 22.
  • This lamp holder 22 has a cylindrical shape having an external surface 23 equipped with different protuberances intended to fit into the rigid ring 4 or the flexible ring 5. More specifically, the lamp holder comprises, on its outer surface 23 , harpoons 24 adapted to fit into the glasses 54 of the fixing lugs 53 of the flexible ring 5.
  • These harpoons can be beveled with a portion flared downwards, that is to say towards the reflector, so that the connection between the ring and the lamp holder is undetachable by traction.
  • These harpoons 24, associated with the fixing lugs 53 of the flexible ring thus ensure the attachment of said ring 5 to the counterpart 2 and the mechanical tensile strength of the ring 5 in the locking position.
  • the lamp holder 22 also has a circular projecting ring 25 located on the outer contour of said lamp holder.
  • This projecting crown 25 serves to guide the displacement of the locking lugs 44 of the ring 4.
  • this ring 25 has a rectangular section.
  • the lower face 28 of this projecting ring ensures a resistance of the pins to all the traction in the X direction, when the ring is in the locked position.
  • the upper face 29 of this ring limits the penetration of the lamp holder in the direction X ', through the centering sectors 41 of the rigid ring 4.
  • the projecting crown 25 has clearances 27 ensuring the passage of the locking lugs 44 of the ring 4.
  • the harpoons 24 are located in these clearances 27. It also comprises at least one stop 26, made in its lower face, limiting the movement of locking lugs 44 of the ring 4.
  • FIG. 6 shows the lamp holder 22 on which the flexible ring 5 is mounted. It is clearly understood that this figure is an explanatory view of the counter-ring assembly and that this assembly does not need to be, in reality, since the flexible ring 5 is mounted in the ring 4 before being mounted on the lamp holder.
  • This FIG. 6 shows a flexible ring 5 for a lamp D2, with its contact tongues 59, its holding tongues 51, its fixing claws 52 and its clip 50.
  • This FIG. 6 also shows a lamp holder 22 with its crown 25 and its harpoons 24. As seen in this figure, the harpoon 24 of the lamp holder 22 is inserted into the bezel 54 of the fixing lug 53 of the ring 5.
  • the ring 5 is fixed on the lamp holder 22 irremovably. Disassembly of the assembly is made impossible when the ring 4 is in place around the ring 5, making the harpo 24 inaccessible to the user.
