Definitions
- the invention relates to a projector for a motor vehicle, in particular a projector of the so-called “verticalized” type and comprising at least one reflector associated with at least one light source preferably placed in the vicinity of the focus of the reflector.
- this term refers to a headlamp which, when mounted on the vehicle for which it is intended, has a height of dimension significantly greater than its width: it is a headlamp that extends mainly in a vertical direction once mounted, and is therefore significantly higher than wide (although it can be mounted not exactly vertical in the vehicle body).
- This verticalization is generally induced by the arrangement of the reflector of the projector (of the main projector if there are several), also arranged in the projector so as to be higher than wide once on the vehicle.
- Patent EP 0 933 585 discloses a light source projector arranged transversely to the optical axis of the reflector with which it is associated, this reflector being of the "verticalized” type.
- the term "verticalized reflector” a reflector extending mainly in the vertical direction, once the projector mounted in the vehicle, and whose surface is determined to reflect in a substantially horizontal direction light rays from a source located near the focus of the reflector.
- the projector according to patent EP 0 933 585 makes it possible to obtain a beam of satisfactory range along the optical axis of the headlamp, with a sharp cut of the beam below a horizontal plane.
- EP1 433 999 a verticalized projector comprising a light source disposed transversely to the optical axis of an ellipsoidal reflector whose wall comprises a notch.
- a lens is placed in front of the ellipsoidal reflector, and a verticalized reflector is disposed on the side of the notch opposite the ellipsoidal reflector.
- This verticalized reflector is intended to produce, from the source housed in the ellipsoidal reflector, a light beam that is not intercepted by the lens. It turned out, however, that this optical system could be further improved.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a projector intended to equip vehicles, which, while retaining the advantages provided by a verticalized reflector, makes it possible to obtain better optical performances, in particular to obtain a system capable of producing several beams of different photometries with the same optical system.
- the invention in the alternative, seeks to obtain a verticalized type of projector that can be compact in size, particularly with regard to its depth, and which is simple to operate.
- This verticalized reflector R2 preferably comprises at least three zones arranged successively according to the height of said reflector: a first zone R21, the closest to the indentation (1), which is an ellipsoidal surface portion, then a second zone R22 composed of a plurality of facets, then a third zone R23 which is a parabolic surface portion.
- source is meant the (or one) filament (s) of the lamp when it is a filament lamp type halogen lamp (which is commonly referred to as a cylinder).
- a filament lamp type halogen lamp which is commonly referred to as a cylinder.
- cup the component that one translates into English by "baffle”: it is about an element arranged near the light source in question (here the first one), which recovers a part of the flow emitted by the source to redirect it to another direction / to another zone (which thus corresponds to an interception of the light emitted directly by the light source for the most part). It is generally an element whose surface directed towards the source is reflective and which is in the immediate vicinity of the source inside the bulb of the lamp.
- the cups incorporated in the lamps are known to serve to create the cutoff of a code-type cut-off beam.
- this cup it is preferred to use this cup to prevent the light emitted by the first source can reach the verticalized reflector.
- the cup is therefore used in the first place as a means of occulting the rays coming from the first source S1 towards the verticalized reflector R2. Since this means is preferably reflective of these rays and non-absorbent, it will also serve as a flux recuperator of the rays of S1 to the reflector R1.
- the invention has thus devised a vehicle lighting device which combines two types of reflector: an ellipsoidal reflector associated with a lens of the type found, for example, in elliptical modules, and a verticalized reflector, preferably sharing the same focal length.
- the ellipsoidal reflector will therefore be able to cooperate with the first source and the lens to give a first type of beam, particularly at a cutoff, while the verticalized reflector can cooperate with the second source to produce a completely different beam, a non-breaking beam of the type road for example.
- the optical system according to the invention can thus constitute a bi-function module of the code / route type which is compact and which does not impose moving parts to move from one function to another. We therefore "specialized" each reflector associated with "his" light source, which allows to very precisely adjust the two different beams from the same module.
- an orientation of the light sources substantially parallel to the optical axis has the advantage of an identical mounting of the light source between the right projector and the left projector of the same vehicle.
- the two light sources S1, S2 are combined according to the invention in a single lamp of bi-filament type: it is a compact solution, which requires only one opening to mount the single lamp in the ellipsoidal reflector. It may be for example lamps known under the trade name H4 or DFCS.
- the axis of at least one of the light sources S1, S2, in particular of the two sources is arranged in a substantially horizontal plane.
- all the zones of the verticalized reflector R2 have a focus located in the vicinity of the second light source S2.
- the first zone R21 of the verticalized reflector R2 is an ellipsoidal surface focused on the second light source S2.
- This zone contributes in particular to increasing the comfort of the second beam.
- “comfort” is meant the intermediate light zone which is situated between the maximum point of illumination of the light beam and the most lateral zones of the beam which define its width.
- the second zone R22 of the verticalized reflector comprises at least at least one central facet (z1), at least two intermediate facets z2 and at least two lateral facets z3.
- One can thus have one, preferably two, central facet, which contributes (s) in particular to the width of the second beam, at least two or four intermediate facets, which contribute in particular to the comfort of the second beam, and finally two or four side facets which contribute more to the maximum of the second beam.
- the more the number of facets is important the more one guarantees a good homogeneity of the beam, on the other hand the more one complicates the design of the reflector.
- the facets can be delimited between them by streaks or not.
- the third zone R23 contributes to defining the maximum of the beam produced by the set of verticalized reflector R2.
- the ellipsoidal reflector R1) comprises a cover 5 situated in the vicinity of the external focus Fe of the reflector R1 so that the beam coming from said reflector R1 and emitted by said device is a cut-off beam.
- the cover may be located at the focus or behind the focus of the ellipsoidal reflector.
- the upper edge of the cover is located below the horizontal plane passing through the optical axis of the reflector, in particular between 0 and 2 mm below, in particular between 0.5 and 1.8 mm or between 0.7 and 1.7 mm below, for example about 1.5 mm below.
- the choice of this dimension depends on the definition of the ellipsoidal mirror.
- the cache is advantageous because it makes it possible to recover a non-interfering portion of additional luminous flux.
- the cover unlike the cup mentioned above, intercepts rays emitted directly from the light source, but also rays that have already undergone one or more reflections on one or more reflectors.
- the cover may be constituted by a cylinder portion with vertical generatrices, turning its concavity forward, according to the curvature of the field of the ellipsoidal reflector.
- the cache may also have other geometric definitions, for example, being plane. The choice of its shape may depend on the chromaticism of the lens associated with the ellipsoidal mirror.
- the cover is associated with an additional optical element arranged between the light source and the cover, said additional optical element being in the vicinity of the optically active edge of the cover and having at least one reflecting surface capable of redirecting above the optically active edge of the cache light rays emitted by the source towards said cache.
- This additional element may take the form of a plate whose front edge is attached to the optically active edge of the cover, which is substantially flat and an upwardly facing face is reflective.
- This element can be mechanically fixed to the cache, or can be part of it.
- This element can be referred to as "folding". This folder is designed so that it reflects the rays appropriately to the lens, rays that otherwise would have been lost.
- the lens may be arranged in such a way that its focus is behind, in particular at the same level as the upper edge of the cover when it is present, and for example at about 0.5 to 2 mm backwards, for example 1, 5 mm behind the outer focus of the ellipsoidal reflector. This distance may depend, in particular, on the focal length of the lens and the definition of the ellipsoid. (The focal point of the lens can also be exactly at the level of the external focus). This configuration of the lens behind the external focus optimizes the recovery of the maximum light flux above the cut when there is a cache.
- the second beam coming from the second source S2 and reflected by the verticalized reflector R2, possibly with a contribution from the ellipsoidal reflector (R1), is an uninterrupted beam, of road type.
- the beam produced by the verticalized reflector has an opening angle at most equal to or of the order of ⁇ 15 ° on either side of the optical axis.
- the beam produced by the ellipsoidal reflector has an opening angle of about ⁇ 35 to 40 ° on either side of the optical axis.
- the plane passing through the axis of the first light source S1 is substantially horizontal, the ellipsoidal reflector R1 being located above this plane and the verticalized reflector R2 being located below this plane.
- the notch 1 of the ellipsoidal reflector R1 has an angular aperture substantially delimited by the intersection of two inclined planes passing respectively through each of the edges of the cup and the center O or the upper edge O 'of the first light source S1 .
- FIGS 1, 2 and 3 are diagrammatic and do not necessarily respect the scale for clarity.
- a light projector P for a motor vehicle comprising a bi-filament lamp of the type H4, comprising a first filament (the first source) S1 provided with a cup C, and a second filament (the second source) S2.
- the two filaments are both assimilated, for the sake of simplification, to sources of cylindrical shape.
- the source S1 is placed in the vicinity and in front of the internal focal point Fi of an ellipsoidal reflector R1.
- ellipsoidal reflector is meant a reflector whose surface is defined from two foci respectively an internal focal point Fi and an external focus Fe, this surface approximating an ellipsoid without necessarily being exactly an ellipsoid.
- the source S2 is also placed in the vicinity of the internal focus Fi, but at the rear of it.
- the orientation of the two sources is parallel to the optical axis (YY).
- the source S2 is in a horizontal plane located slightly below the optical axis (YY), the source S1 is preferably in the horizontal plane passing through the optical axis (YY).
- the cup C1 is arranged, as shown in Figure 3, so that its two edges C1, C2 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the vertical.
- the wall of the ellipsoidal reflector R1 comprises a notch 1 on one side of the plane passing through the optical axis YY.
- the notch 1 corresponds substantially to a section passing through the edges C1, C2 of the cup C and the median axis of the filament S1, by the point 0 (or, in approximation or alternatively) the axis passing through the upper edge O 'of said filament.
- These cutting planes are inclined +/- 7.5 °. This angle value, in this example of 7.5 °, can vary by a few degrees, in particular depending on the type of cup used.
- the notch 1 is provided to let down, on the opposite side to the major part of the reflector R12, a maximum of light emitted by the filament S2 to the verticalized reflector R2.
- the optical axis of the ellipsoidal reflector R1 coincides with the optical axis Y-Y of the projector.
- a lens 2, of optical axis parallel or coincident with the Y-axis, is placed in front of the reflector R1 in the direction of propagation of light.
- the diameter of the lens 2 may be about 50 mm.
- the lens 2 is preferably of small print ("draw" is the distance between the lens and the external focus Fe of R1).
- the invention also applies to lenses of greater diameter, 60 or 70 mm.
- the focus 3 of the lens 2 is close to or coincides with the external focus Fe of the reflector R1.
- the focus 3 of the lens is behind the external focus Fe of the lens 2 by a distance d, in particular about 1.5 mm.
- the optical axis 4 of the lens 2 is located lower than the optical axis Y-Y.
- the vertical distance h between the optical axis 4 of the lens 2 and the optical axis Y-Y is about 1.5 mm, which allows to recover more light flux from the reflector R1.
- the accessory elements of the projector including closing glass and auxiliary equipment for maintaining reflector, lens, light source and other parts, are not shown because known in themselves.
- the projector P is intended to be bi-function code / route.
- the code function ie the passing beam, is generated by the light emitted by S1, reflected by R1 and then passing through the lens 3.
- a cover 5 is provided between S1 and the lens. 3 able to intercept some of the light reflected by the reflector R1.
- This cover 5 is disposed in the vicinity of the external focus Fe.
- the cover 5 is constituted by an opaque wafer, for example metallic, held by any appropriate means. Due to the curvature of the field, the cover 5 is plane, and has a profile corresponding to the inverted image relative to the horizontal of the desired cut.
- the upper edge of the cover 5 is located below the horizontal plane passing through YY at a distance d of about 1 mm.
- the cache dimensions are at most equal to the horizontal opening of the ellipsoid of the reflector R1.
- FIG. 4 represents the isolux curves of the code beam, measured at 25 meters from the vehicle equipped with the headlamp.
- the verticalized reflector R2 is disposed on the side of the indentation 1 opposite the major part of the ellipsoidal reflector R1.
- the intersection of this verticalized reflector R2 by a vertical plane passing through the axis YY is formed on the one hand by a curve arc adjacent to a parabola arc having a focal point near the internal focus Fi for the lower two-thirds approximately of this reflector (corresponding to the zones R22 and R23), on the other hand by a curve close to an ellipse for the upper third (corresponding to the zone R21) of this reflector.
- the verticalized reflector R2 is intended to give images of the source S2 centered on the optical axis (YY) at infinity, that is to say, in the field of the automobile, a distance of several tens of meters of the vehicle equipped with the headlamp.
- the verticalized reflector R2 is designed to focus the beam it reflects in an aperture angle at most equal to or of the order of ⁇ 15 ° on either side of the optical axis Y-Y.
- zones R22 and R23 may constitute about 2/3 of the height of the reflector R2, and the zone R12 constitute about 1/3 of said height.
- the invention applies not only to a projector capable of producing two beams of the code / route type, but also any other combination of two functions. It allows to switch easily from one function to another by lighting one or the other of the filaments, without having to tilt a cover, without any movement of mechanical parts, which is very advantageous in terms of reliability and compactness .
