Abstract

L'invention a pour objet un module optique de projecteur lumineux pour véhicule automobile, pour donner un faisceau à coupure, comprenant au moins
- soit un premier réflecteur (1) et une source lumineuse, notamment soit un réflecteur de type ellipsoïdal (1) associé à une source lumineuse (S), un cache (3), éventuellement une plieuse (2), et une lentille convergente (4),
- soit un réflecteur à surface complexe associé à une source lumineuse (S),

et comprenant :
- un deuxième réflecteur (5) situé au-dessous du plan horizontal passant par l'axe optique, ce deuxième réflecteur admettant une courbe méridienne (6) composée :
- d'un arc d'ellipse (7)
- et d'une courbe située en avant de l'extrémité de l'arc de l'ellipse, l'extrémité avant de cette courbe étant confondue avec le deuxième foyer (C2) dudit arc d'ellipse (7), ou voisine de ce foyer,
- et une lentille (10) entourant au moins une zone de la partie inférieure de la lentille convergente (4) ou, en l'absence de lentille convergente (4), entourant la zone par laquelle passent les rayons dans le plan de cette lentille.

Figure imgaf001
The subject of the invention is a light projector optical module for a motor vehicle, for giving a cut-off beam, comprising at least
either a first reflector (1) and a light source, in particular either an ellipsoidal reflector (1) associated with a light source (S), a cover (3), possibly a folder (2), and a convergent lens ( 4),
or a reflector with a complex surface associated with a light source (S),

and including:
a second reflector (5) located below the horizontal plane passing through the optical axis, this second reflector admitting a meridian curve (6) composed of:
- an elliptical arc (7)
and a curve situated in front of the end of the arc of the ellipse, the front end of this curve being merged with the second focus (C2) of said elliptical arc (7), or close to this fireplace,
and a lens (10) surrounding at least one zone of the lower part of the convergent lens (4) or, in the absence of a converging lens (4), surrounding the zone through which the rays pass in the plane of this lens .
