Description

Die Erfindung bezeiht sich auf einen Beleuchtungsscheinwerfer gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a lighting headlamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 203 12 391 U1 ist ein Scheinwerfer mit einem Scheinwerfergehäuse bekannt, in dem eine Lampe und ein Reflektor und an dessen frontseitiger Strahlenaustrittsöffnung ein Gehäuserahmen zur Aufnahme von Vorsatzteilen wie Frontlinsen, Schutzglasscheiben, Gitter oder dergleichen angeordnet sind.From the DE 203 12 391 U1 is a headlamp with a headlamp housing known, in which a lamp and a reflector and at the front-side beam outlet opening a housing frame for receiving attachments such as front lenses, protective glass panes, grating or the like are arranged.

Die Anordnung und Befestigung dieser Scheinwerfereinrichtungen im und am Scheinwerfergehäuse erfordert insbesondere bezüglich der strahlenbeeinflussenden Einrichtungen wie Reflektoren und Linsen große Präzision und damit einen hohen Herstellungsaufwand, da diese Einrichtungen zentrisch zur optischen Achse des Scheinwerfers angeordnet werden müssen.The arrangement and attachment of these headlight devices in and on the headlight housing requires, in particular with regard to the radiation-influencing devices such as reflectors and lenses, great precision and thus a high production outlay, since these devices must be arranged centrically to the optical axis of the headlight.

Ein weiteres Problem besteht darin, dass die mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse verbundenen Scheinwerfereinrichtungen erheblichen mechanischen und thermischen Belastungen durch Stöße und insbesondere bei leistungsstarken Scheinwerfern einer starken Wärmeabgabe der Scheinwerferlampe ausgesetzt sind: Dies trifft in hohem Maße auf eine an der Strahlenaustrittsseite des Schweinwerfers als Berührungs- und Explosionsschutz vorgesehene Schutzscheibe aus Glas oder Kunststoff zu, wobei zur besseren Temperaturisolierung auch zwei axial zueinander beabstandete Schutzscheiben vorgesehen werden, die einen Luftraum zur Wärmeisolierung zwischen sich einschließen. Dabei erweist es sich wiederum als problematisch, den gegenseitigen Abstand der Schutzscheiben auch bei starker Wärmebelastung und unter Berücksichtigung heftiger Bewegungen des Beleuchtungsscheinwerfers und auf den Beleuchtungsscheinwerfer ausgeübte Stöße zu gewährleisten.Another problem is that the associated with the headlight housing headlamps considerable mechanical and thermal stress from shocks and especially in high-performance headlamps of a strong heat emission of the headlamp are exposed: This applies to a large extent on the radiation exit side of the piggyback as touch and explosion protection provided protective glass made of glass or plastic, wherein for better temperature insulation and two axially spaced apart protective disks are provided, which include an air space for thermal insulation between them. It turns out again to be problematic to ensure the mutual distance of the protective glass even with strong heat load and taking into account violent movements of the lighting headlamp and the lighting headlamps applied shocks.

Ein Beleuchtungsscheinwerfer mit zwei frontseitig angeordneten Schutzglasscheiben ist aus der DE 87 06 820 U bekannt, wobei zwischen einer frontseitigen Glasscheibe und einer zweiten Schutzglasscheibe aus Panzerglas ein spaltenförmiger Luftraum zur Wärme- und Druckisolation vorgesehen ist.An illumination headlamp with two protective glass panes arranged at the front is made of DE 87 06 820 U known, between a front glass pane and a second protective glass pane of bulletproof glass, a column-shaped air space for heat and pressure isolation is provided.

Zur Vereinfachung der Konstruktion, sicheren Befestigung einer Abdeckscheibe und zum leichteren Wechseln der Lampe einer Leuchte sind aus der DE 43 13 073 C2 mehrere U-förmig gebogene Federn zum Befestigen einer Abdeckscheibe an einem gewölbten Reflektor bekannt, innerhalb dessen die Lampe als Leuchtmittel lösbar befestigt ist und dessen Strahlenaustrittsöffnung durch eine die Strahlen durchlassende Abdeckscheibe aus Glas, Kunststoff oder einem Gitter abgedeckt ist. Der äußere Rand des Reflektors weist mehrere Ausnehmungen oder Öffnungen auf, in denen die Federn befestigt sind, die mit einem Vorsprung die Vorderseite der Abdeckscheibe hintergreifen. Die freien Schenkel der U-förmig gebogenen Federn sind dabei durch die Öffnung im Reflektorrand zur Leuchtenvorderseite hin durchgesteckt und so eingerastet, dass sie sich selbst tragen.To simplify the construction, secure attachment of a cover and easier to change the lamp of a lamp are from the DE 43 13 073 C2 several U-shaped bent springs for attaching a cover to a curved reflector known, within which the lamp is releasably secured as a light source and the beam exit opening is covered by a glass passing through the cover glass, plastic or a grid. The outer edge of the reflector has a plurality of recesses or openings in which the springs are mounted, which engage behind the front of the cover with a projection. The free legs of the U-shaped springs are pushed through the opening in the reflector edge to the front of the luminaire and locked so that they carry themselves.

Aus der DE 197 57 055 A1 ist eine Leuchte mit einem zylindrischen Gehäuse, einem Reflektor und einem an der Vorderseite des Gehäuses angeordneten Glashalter mit mindestens einer kreisförmigen Glasscheibe bekannt. Der Glashalter besteht aus zwei diametral an der Stirnseite des Gehäuses befestigten Glashaltefedern, die einen aus Federblech geformten Federkörper mit einer bogenförmig gekrümmten Frontseite und U-förmig an die Frontseite anschließende Schenkel aufweisen, deren Enden zu Befestigungsösen geformt sind. Die bogenförmig gekrümmte Frontseite der Glashaltefedern weist in Umfangsrichtung des Gehäuses Längsschlitze auf, die federelastische Streifen begrenzen, die zur Bildung einer Glasscheibeneinfassung in alternierender Folge bogenförmig nach außen zur Federkörperaußenseite und nach innen zur Rückseite des Federkörpers gekrümmt sind, so dass die Glasscheibe in die dadurch gebildeten Vertiefungen der Glashaltefedern radial einsetzbar ist. Am Umfang des Gehäuses ist zusätzlich ein Schiebering als Blendschutz angeordnet, der gegenüber dem Gehäuse der Leuchte angefedert und über die Glashaltefedern verschiebbar ist.From the DE 197 57 055 A1 is a lamp with a cylindrical housing, a reflector and a arranged on the front of the housing glass holder with at least one circular glass sheet known. The glass holder consists of two diametrically attached to the front side of the housing glass retaining springs, which have a formed from spring plate spring body with an arcuately curved front and U-shaped adjoining the front leg, whose ends are formed into eyelets. The arcuately curved front side of the glass retaining springs has in the circumferential direction of the housing longitudinal slots which define resilient strips which are curved to form a Glasscheibeneinfassung arcuately outwardly in an arcuate outward to the spring body outside and inwards to the back of the spring body, so that the glass sheet in the thus formed Recesses of the glass retaining springs can be used radially. At the periphery of the housing, a sliding ring is additionally arranged as a glare shield, which is spring-loaded relative to the housing of the lamp and displaceable over the glass retaining springs.

Die Federelemente sind am Umfang der Scheinwerfereinrichtung verteilt angeordnet, in radialer Richtung des Scheinwerfergehäuses federelastisch ausgebildet und über Befestigungslaschen bzw. Befestigungsarme mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse verbunden. Mit den federelastischen Streifen sind auch zwei am Seitenrand der Scheinwerfereinrichtung anliegende Federarme abgewinkelt.The spring elements are arranged distributed on the circumference of the headlamp device, designed to be resilient in the radial direction of the headlight housing and connected via fastening straps or fastening arms with the headlight housing. With the elastic strips and two adjacent to the side edge of the headlamp device spring arms are angled.

Aus der US-A-5 091 835 ist ein Beleuchtungsscheinwerfer mit einem zylinderförmigen Scheinwerfergehäuse und mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse verbundene Scheinwerferein richtungen in Form eines Reflektors sowie einer Frontlinse und eines Schutzgitters bekannt. Die Verbindung der Scheinwerfereinrichtungen mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse erfolgt über Federelemente, die als V-förmige Springfeder-Clipse ausgebildet sind und sich entweder an die Innenseite des Scheinwerfergehäuses anlegen oder auf den frontseitigen Rand des Scheinwerfergehäuses aufgesteckt werden. Die Scheinwerfereinrichtungen werden über Vertiefungen der V-förmigen Springfedem, die durch ihre Formgebung in radialer Richtung federelastisch ausgebildet sind, eingesetzt und bilden eine mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse verbundene Befestigungslasche aus, von der am Seitenrand der Scheinwerfereinrichtung anliegende Federarme abgewinkelt sind.From the US-A-5 091 835 is a lighting headlight with a cylindrical headlight housing and associated with the headlight housing headlight devices in the form of a reflector and a front lens and a protective grid known. The connection of the headlamp devices with the headlight housing takes place via spring elements which are designed as V-shaped spring-spring clips and create either on the inside of the headlight housing or plugged onto the front edge of the headlight housing. The headlight devices are recesses of the V-shaped spring springs, which are formed by their shape in the radial direction resiliently, and form a connected to the headlight housing mounting bracket, are bent by the voltage applied to the side edge of the headlight device spring arms.

Aus der US-A-6 101 771 ist eine Befestigung für eine Abdeckscheibe bekannt, die an der Lichtabstrahlöffnung eines zylinderförmigen Gehäuses einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung angeordnet ist. Die Befestigungseinrichtung besteht aus mehreren am Umfang der Gehäuseöffnung verteilt angeordneten und mit einem an der Gehäuseöffnung ausgebildeten Gehäuseflansch verbundenen Befestigungselementen, die eine Basis mit einer Bohrung aufweisen, durch die ein Befestigungselement steckbar ist, das einen äußeren Befestigungsring mit dem Gehäuseflansch verbindet. Die Befestigungselemente weisen zwei von der Basis ausgehende Federarme auf, deren Enden zur Bildung von Federanlagen abgewinkelt sind und mit diesen an der in den Spalt zwischen dem Gehäuseflansch und dem Befestigungsring eingefügten Abdeckscheibe anliegen und eine Andruckkraft auf die Abdeckscheibe ausüben.From the US-A-6 101 771 an attachment for a cover is known, which is arranged at the Lichtabstrahlöffnung a cylindrical housing of a lighting device. The fastening device consists of a plurality of distributed on the circumference of the housing opening arranged and connected to a housing opening formed on the housing flange fasteners having a base with a bore through which a fastener is plugged, which connects an outer mounting ring with the housing flange. The fasteners have two outgoing from the base spring arms, the ends of which are angled to form spring systems and abut with these at the inserted into the gap between the housing flange and the mounting ring cover and exert a pressing force on the cover.

Die Federanlagen der Befestigungselemente sind in axialer Richtung federelastisch ausgebildet und üben eine axiale Anpresskraft auf die Abdeckscheibe aus, bewirken aber keine Federelastizität in axialer Richtung, sondern dienen ausschließlich dem Zweck der Sicherung der Abdeckscheibe in dem Öffnungsspalt zwischen dem Gehäuseflansch und dem Befestigungsring.The spring systems of the fasteners are resilient in the axial direction and exert an axial contact pressure on the cover, but cause no spring elasticity in the axial direction, but serve exclusively for the purpose of securing the cover in the opening gap between the housing flange and the mounting ring.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabenstellung zugrunde, eine Scheinwerfereinrichtung in Form einer Schutzscheibe, Linse oder Reflektor so mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse zu verbinden, dass mechanische und thermische Belastungen der Scheinwerfereinrichtung weitgehend vermieden werden und die Voraussetzung für eine selbstzentrierende Ausrichtung der Scheinwerfereinrichtung geschaffen wird.The present invention is based on the object to connect a headlamp device in the form of a protective screen, lens or reflector with the headlight housing that mechanical and thermal stresses on the headlamp device are largely avoided and the condition for a self-centering alignment of the headlamp device is created.

Diese Aufgabenstellung wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale der Ansprüche 1 und 7 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claims 1 and 7.

Durch die Anlage von in axialer Richtung des Schweinwerfergehäuses federelastisch ausgebildeten, von den Federarmen abstehenden Federanlagen an mindestens einer Oberfläche der Scheinwerfereinrichtung werden auf das Scheinwerfergehäuse ausgeübte Stöße wirksam abgepuffert und thermische Spannungen zwischen dem Scheinwerfergehäuse und der Scheinwerfereinrichtung vermieden. Diese erste Ausgestaltung des Federelements ermöglicht die Verbindung einer einzelnen, scheibenförmigen Scheinwerfereinrichtung mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse, wobei ein ringförmiger Ansatz oder ein zum Scheinwerferinneren gerichteter Vorsprung am Scheinwerfergehäuse eine Gegenanlage zum Federelement ausbildet.By investing in the axial direction of the Schweinwerfergehäuses spring-elastic, projecting from the spring arms spring systems on at least one surface of the headlamp device applied to the headlight housing shocks are effectively buffered and thermal stresses between the headlight housing and the headlamp device avoided. This first embodiment of the spring element allows the connection of a single, disc-shaped headlamp device with the headlight housing, wherein an annular projection or directed towards the headlight projection on the headlight housing forms a counter-system to the spring element.

Durch die Anordnung mehrerer Federelemente wird zudem erreicht, dass bei zylindrischen Scheinwerfergehäusen und einem kreisscheibenförmigen Randbereich der Scheinwerfereinrichtung eine Selbstzentrierung der Scheinwerfereinrichtung in Bezug auf die optische Achse des Beleuchtungsscheinwerfers gewährleistet ist.The arrangement of a plurality of spring elements is also achieved that in the case of cylindrical headlight housings and a circular disk-shaped edge region of the headlight device, self-centering of the headlight device with respect to the optical axis of the illumination headlight is ensured.

Zur Verbindung von beispielsweise zwei axial zueinander beabstandeten Schutzscheiben mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse eignet sich ein Federelement, dessen Befestigungslasche U-förmig mit einer Basis und zwei Schenkeln ausgebildet ist, wobei von jedem Schenkel zwei Federarme mit von ihren Enden abstehenden Federanlagen abgewinkelt sind.To connect, for example, two axially spaced apart protective disks with the headlight housing, a spring element whose fastening tab is U-shaped with a base and two legs, each of which leg two spring arms are bent with protruding from their ends spring equipment.

In dieser Ausgestaltung stellen die Federelemente einen axial angefederten Abstand zwischen zwei scheibenförmigen Scheinwerfereinrichtungen wie Schutzscheiben und gleichzeitig eine radiale Anfederung der Schutzscheiben sicher, die in axialer Richtung an nach innen gerichteten Vorsprüngen oder Ansätzen des Scheinwerfergehäuses oder eines in das Scheinwerfergehäuse einsetzbaren Linsenringes anliegen.In this embodiment, the spring elements ensure an axially sprung distance between two disc-shaped headlight devices such as protective disks and at the same time a radial springing of the protective disks, which abut in the axial direction of inwardly directed projections or lugs of the headlight housing or an insertable into the headlight housing lens ring.

Zur Verbindung der Federelemente mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse weisen die Schenkel der Befestigungslasche Bohrungen zur Aufnahme eines das Federelement mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse verbindenden Befestigungselementes auf, das beispielsweise aus einem Bolzen oder einer Schraubverbindung bestehen kann.To connect the spring elements with the headlight housing, the legs of the fastening tab holes for receiving a spring element with the headlight housing connecting fastener, which may for example consist of a bolt or a screw connection.

Durch eine verteilte Anordnung der Federelemente am Randbereich der Scheinwerfereinrichtung, insbesondere durch die Anordnung von drei um jeweils ca. 120° gegeneinander versetzt am Randbereich der Scheinwerfereinrichtung angeordnete Federelemente, wird eine Verbindung der Scheinwerfereinrichtung mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse erzielt, die eine optimale Befestigung der Scheinwerfereinrichtung zum Schutz vor Stößen oder Schlägen sowie eine Selbstzentrierung, beispielsweise eines Reflektors in Bezug auf die optische Achse des Beleuchtungsscheinwerfers, gewährleistet.By a distributed arrangement of the spring elements at the edge region of the headlamp device, in particular by the arrangement of three by 120 ° offset from each other at the edge region of the headlamp device arranged spring elements, a connection of the headlamp device is achieved with the headlamp housing, the optimal attachment of the headlamp device for protection against shocks or blows and a self-centering, for example, a reflector with respect to the optical axis of the illumination headlamp guaranteed.

Die Federelemente können zur federelastischen Befestigung der Scheinwerfereinrichtung am Scheinwerfergehäuse in radialer Richtung oder in axialer Richtung des Scheinwerfergehäuses, vorzugsweise aber in zwei Achsen, d.h. in radialer und axialer Richtung des Scheinwerfergehäuses, federelastisch ausgebildet sein.The spring elements can be used to fix the headlamp device resiliently to the headlight housing in the radial direction or in the axial direction of the headlight housing, but preferably in two axes, i. be formed in the radial and axial direction of the headlight housing, resilient.

Insbesondere bei einer in zwei Achsen federelastischen Befestigung der Scheinwerfereinrichtung am Scheinwerfergehäuse ist ein optimaler Schutz der Scheinwerfereinrichtung gegenüber Schlägen oder Stößen sowie gegenüber Temperaturausdehnungen gewährleistet.In particular, in a resilient in two axes attachment of the headlamp device on the headlight housing optimum protection of the headlamp device against impacts or shocks and against thermal expansion is guaranteed.

Besteht die Scheinwerfereinrichtung aus zwei in axialer Richtung des Scheinwerfergehäuses zueinander beabstandeten Schutzscheiben an der Strahlenaustrittsöffnung des Scheinwerfergehäuses, so liegen die Randbereiche der Schutzscheiben umfangsseitig auf den Federarmen eines Federelementes mit U-förmiger Befestigungslasche auf, während die als geknickte Blattfedern ausgebildeten Federanlagen den axialen Abstand der beiden Schutzscheiben zueinander bestimmen und die Ränder der einander zugewandten Oberflächen der Schutzscheiben an jeweils einem Knick der als geknickte Blattfedern ausgebildeten Federanlagen der Federelemente anliegen.If the headlamp device consists of two in the axial direction of the headlight housing spaced from each other at the beam exit opening of the headlamp housing, the edge regions of the protective disks are circumferentially on the spring arms of a spring element with U-shaped fastening tab, while formed as kinked leaf springs spring systems the axial distance of the two Determine protective disks to each other and abut the edges of the facing surfaces of the protective disks on a respective kink of spring devices formed as a bent leaf springs of the spring elements.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Federarme und die Federanlagen als Blattfedern, insbesondere als ebene, geknickte oder gebogene Blattfedern, ausgebildet.In a preferred embodiment, the spring arms and the spring systems are designed as leaf springs, in particular as flat, bent or bent leaf springs.

Diese Ausgestaltung der Federelemente ermöglicht eine einfache, kostengünstige Herstellung bei gleichzeitig hoher Temperaturbeständigkeit und Sicherung der federelastischen Eigenschaften.This embodiment of the spring elements enables a simple, cost-effective production while maintaining high temperature resistance and securing the resilient properties.

Vorzugsweise sind die Schutzscheiben in einem mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse verbundenen Linsenring angeordnet, und die zwischen den Schutzscheiben angeordneten Federelemente drücken die Randbereiche der Schutzscheiben gegen den Unsenring.The protective disks are preferably arranged in a lens ring connected to the lamp housing, and the spring elements arranged between the protective disks press the edge regions of the protective disks against the brass ring.

In einer weiteren alternativen Ausführungsform bestehen die Federelemente aus Spiralfedern, die zwischen einem mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse verbundenen Feder- oder Halteelement und der Scheinwerfereinrichtung angeordnet sind und die Scheinwerfereinrichtung in axialer Richtung auf das Scheinwerfergehäuse vorspannen oder zusätzlich zur Federwirkung des Feder- oder Halteelement vorspannen.In a further alternative embodiment, the spring elements consist of coil springs, which are arranged between a connected to the headlight housing spring or holding element and the headlamp device and bias the headlamp device in the axial direction of the headlamp housing or bias in addition to the spring action of the spring or retaining element.

In dieser alternativen Ausführungsform können die Spiralfedern zwischen mindestens einer an den Seitenrand der Scheinwerfereinrichtung angrenzenden Oberfläche der Scheinwerfereinrichtung und einem Flanscharm des Feder- oder Halteelements angeordnet werden.In this alternative embodiment, the coil springs can be arranged between at least one surface of the headlight device adjoining the side edge of the headlight device and a flange arm of the spring or holding element.

Alternativ werden die Spiralfeder zwischen den Befestigungsarmen zweier am Scheinwerfergehäuse befestigter Feder- oder Halteelemente angeordnet, wobei von den Befestigungsarmen zwei am Seitenrand der Scheinwerfereinrichtung anliegende Stützarme abgewinkelt sind, von denen an der Oberfläche der mindestens einen Scheinwerfereinrichtung anliegende Flanscharme abstehen, oder die Spiralfedern sind zwischen den Befestigungslaschen von Feder- oder Halteelementen angeordnet, wobei von den Befestigungslaschen zwei am Seitenrand der Scheinwerfereinrichtung anliegende Stützarme abgewinkelt sind, von denen an der Oberfläche der mindestens einen Scheinwerfereinrichtung anliegende Flanscharme abstehen.Alternatively, the coil spring between the mounting arms of two fixed to the headlight housing spring or holding elements are arranged, wherein the supporting arms are bent at the side edge of the headlight device fitting support arms, of which protrude on the surface of at least one headlight device abutting flange, or the coil springs are between the Fastening straps arranged by spring or holding elements, wherein of the fastening tabs two adjacent to the side edge of the headlamp device supporting arms are angled, from which protrude on the surface of at least one headlamp device fitting flange arms.

Besteht die Scheinwerfereinrichtung aus einem Reflektor oder einer Linse, der bzw. die im Abstand zu einer Lichtquelle im Inneren des Scheinwerfergehäuses angeordnet ist, so liegt der Außenrand des Reflektors oder der Linse bevorzugt auf den Federarmen der Federelemente auf, während die dem Außenrand benachbarte Randfläche des Reflektors oder der Linse an einem Knick der als geknickte Blattfedern ausgebildeten Federanlagen der Federelemente anliegt.If the headlamp device consists of a reflector or a lens which is arranged at a distance to a light source in the interior of the headlamp housing, the outer edge of the reflector or the lens preferably rests on the spring arms of the spring elements, while the edge surface of the spring element adjacent to the outer edge Reflector or the lens at a bend of the formed as a bent leaf springs spring systems of the spring elements is applied.

Im Innern des Scheinwerfergehäuses 1 kann bei Anordnung einer Linse 10 an der Strahlenaustrittsöffnung 11 des Scheinwerfergehäuses 1 eine einzelne Schutzscheibe 33 angeordnet und am Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 befestigt werden. Ebenfalls im Innern des Scheinwerfergehäuses 1 ist ein Reflektor 5 angeordnet und am Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 befestigt. In der optischen Achse des Scheinwerfers ist eine Lampe 4 angeordnet und durch den Reflektor 5 gesteckt. Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section through an illumination headlight with a headlight housing 1, the beam exit opening 11 through a lens 10 and / or two arranged in a lens ring 2 protective disks 31, 32 is completed. In the interior of the headlight housing 1, a single protective screen 33 can be arranged and fastened to the headlight housing 1 when a lens 10 is arranged on the radiation outlet opening 11 of the headlight housing 1. Also inside the headlight housing 1, a reflector 5 is arranged and fixed to the headlight housing 1. In the optical axis of the headlamp, a lamp 4 is arranged and inserted through the reflector 5.

Die Anzahl und Konfiguration der Federelemente hängt im Wesentlichen von der Art der Scheinwerfereinrichtung, dessen Abstützung am Scheinwerfergehäuse bzw. einer mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse verbundenen Einrichtung wie einem Linsenring, der Forderung nach radialer und/oder axialer Federung der Scheinwerfereinrichtung gegenüber dem Scheinwerfergehäuse sowie der Anzahl der von den Federelementen aufzunehmenden Scheinwerfereinrichtungen ab. In den nachfolgenden Figuren wird zur Erläuterung der Erfindung sowohl die Verbindung einer einzelnen Scheinwerfereinrichtung in Form eines Reflektors als auch zweier miteinander gekoppelter Scheinwerfereinrichtungen in Form der beiden an der Strahlenaustrittsöffnung des Scheinwerfergehäuses angeordneten Schutzscheiben mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse beschrieben.The number and configuration of the spring elements depends essentially on the type of headlight device whose support on the headlight housing or connected to the headlight housing device such as a lens ring, the demand for radial and / or axial suspension of the headlight device relative to the headlight housing and the number of The headlamps recorded headlamps from. In the following figures, the connection of a single headlamp device in the form of a reflector as well as two mutually coupled headlamp devices in the form of two arranged at the beam exit opening of the headlight housing protective glass is described with the headlamp housing to illustrate the invention.

Das in den Fig. 2 bis 5 in verschiedenen Ansichten dargestellten Federelement 6 zur Aufnahme eines in einem Ausschnitt seines Randbereichs dargestellten Reflektors 5 oder einer einzelnen Schutzscheibe zur federnden Verbindung mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 eines Beleuchtungsscheinwerfers gemäß Fig. 1 soll als Beispiel für die Aufnahme einer einzelnen Scheinwerfereinrichtung dienen. Das Federelement 6 weist eine Befestigungslasche 60 auf, von deren Oberkante ein Steg 66 rechtwinklig absteht. Vom Steg 66 sind symmetrisch nach beiden Seiten in Umfangsrichtung des Reflektors 5 zwei am Außenrand 50 des Reflektors 5 anliegende Federarme 61, 62 abgewinkelt, von deren Enden Federanlagen 63, 64 abstehen und an der einen Oberfläche im Randbereich des Reflektors 5 anliegen. Die entgegengesetzte Oberfläche im Randbereich des Reflektors 5 liegt beispielsweise an einem umlaufenden oder abschnittsweise ins Innere des Beleuchtungsscheinwerfers gerichteten Steg 12 des Scheinwerfergehäuses 1 an.That in the Fig. 2 to 5 in various views illustrated spring element 6 for receiving a reflector 5 shown in a section of its edge region or a single protective disc for resilient connection with the headlight housing 1 of a lighting headlamp according to Fig. 1 should serve as an example for the inclusion of a single headlamp device. The spring element 6 has a fastening tab 60, from the upper edge of which a web 66 projects at right angles. From the web 66 are symmetrical to both sides in the circumferential direction of the reflector 5 two adjacent to the outer edge 50 of the reflector 5 spring arms 61, 62 angled from the ends of spring systems 63, 64 protrude and abut the one surface in the edge region of the reflector 5. The opposite surface in the edge region of the reflector For example, 5 abuts against a web 12 of the headlight housing 1, which is circumferential or sectionwise directed into the interior of the illumination headlight.

Die Federarme 61, 62 weisen an ihren Enden im Wesentlichen parallel zum Steg 66 verlaufende Endstege 67, 68 auf, aus denen durch erneutes Abwinkeln die Federanlagen 63, 64 gebildet sind. Die Federanlagen 63, 64 weisen einen an der Oberfläche des Randbereichs des Reflektors 5 anliegenden Knick 69 auf, so dass eine punkt- bzw. linienförmige Anlage der Federanlagen 63, 64 an der Oberfläche des Reflektors 5 gegeben ist.The spring arms 61, 62 have at their ends substantially parallel to the web 66 extending end webs 67, 68, from which by renewed bending the spring systems 63, 64 are formed. The spring systems 63, 64 have a voltage applied to the surface of the edge region of the reflector 5 kink 69, so that a point or linear contact of the spring systems 63, 64 is given to the surface of the reflector 5.

Wie den verschiedenen Ansichten gemäß den Fig. 2 bis 4 zu entnehmen ist, kann das Federelement 6 aus einem Streifen eines geeigneten Materials geformt bzw. gebogen werden, so dass eine einfache, kostengünstige Herstellung gewährleistet ist.As the different views according to the Fig. 2 to 4 can be seen, the spring element 6 can be formed or bent from a strip of a suitable material, so that a simple, inexpensive production is ensured.

Zur Verbindung des Federelements 6 mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 weist die Befestigungslasche 60 eine Bohrung 65 auf, durch die ein geeignetes Befestigungselement 13, beispielsweise eine Schraube, ein Stift oder ein Niet gesteckt und mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 verbunden wird.To connect the spring element 6 to the headlight housing 1, the fastening tab 60 has a bore 65, through which a suitable fastening element 13, for example a screw, a pin or a rivet is inserted and connected to the headlight housing 1.

Wie insbesondere die Seitenansicht des Federelements 6 gemäß Fig. 3 zeigt, stellt das Federelement 6 eine Federung des Reflektors 5 in zwei Achsen, nämlich in axialer und radialer Richtung sicher. Dies ist in Fig. 3 durch den Pfeil Fa für die axialer Federung und den Pfeil Fr für die radiale Federung symbolisch dargestellt.As in particular the side view of the spring element 6 according to Fig. 3 shows, the spring element 6 ensures a suspension of the reflector 5 in two axes, namely in the axial and radial directions. This is in Fig. 3 symbolized by the arrow Fa for the axial suspension and the arrow Fr for the radial suspension.

Durch die Anordnung von drei um jeweils ca. 120° am Umfang des Reflektors 5 zueinander versetzte Federelemente 6a, 6b, 6c wird der Reflektor 5 gemäß Fig. 5 gleichmäßig abgestützt, so dass eine Selbstzentrierung des Reflektors 5 und damit eine optimale Ausrichtung zur optimalen Achse des Beleuchtungsscheinwerfers gewährleistet ist.By arranging three spring elements 6a, 6b, 6c offset by approximately 120 ° on the circumference of the reflector 5, the reflector 5 is moved according to FIG Fig. 5 evenly supported, so that a self-centering of the reflector 5 and thus optimal alignment is ensured to the optimal axis of the illumination headlamp.

Durch die Federung des Federelements 6 in axialer Richtung wird dabei gleichzeitig eine feste Anlage des Reflektors 5 an dem umlaufenden oder abschnittsweise vorgesehenen Steg 12 des Scheinwerfergehäuses unabhängig von temperaturbedingten Ausdehnungen des Scheinwerfergehäuses 1 bzw. des Reflektors 5 gewährleistet.By the suspension of the spring element 6 in the axial direction while a solid contact of the reflector 5 at the circumferential or partially provided web 12 of the headlight housing is guaranteed regardless of temperature-induced expansions of the headlight housing 1 and the reflector 5.

Wirken auf das Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 Stöße oder Schläge ein, so verhindert die axiale und radiale Anfederung des Reflektors 5 gegenüber dem Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 ein Höchstmaß an Schutz vor einer Zerstörung bzw. einer Verlagerung des Reflektors 5 aus der Zentrierung gegenüber der optischen Achse des Beleuchtungsscheinwerfers.Act on the headlight housing 1 shocks or blows, so prevents the axial and radial springing of the reflector 5 relative to the headlight housing 1 maximum protection against destruction or a displacement of the reflector 5 from the centering with respect to the optical axis of the illumination headlamp.

In den Fig. 6 bis 9 ist als weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel die federnde Lagerung zweier Schutzscheiben 31, 32 in Federelementen 7 dargestellt, die mit einem Linsenring 2 verbunden sind, der an der Strahlenaustrittsöffnung 11 des Scheinwerfergehäuses 1 mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 verbunden ist.In the Fig. 6 to 9 is shown as a further embodiment, the resilient mounting two protective disks 31, 32 in spring elements 7, which are connected to a lens ring 2, which is connected to the beam exit opening 11 of the headlight housing 1 with the headlight housing 1.

Die Federelemente 7 sind über den Umfang des Linsenrings 2 verteilt, beispielsweise um jeweils 120° zueinander versetzt, angeordnet, und befinden sich mit Federarmen 71, 71' bzw. 72, 72' und Federanlagen 73, 73' bzw. 74, 74' zwischen den Schutzscheiben 31, 32, deren nach außen gerichtete Oberflächen in ihrem Randbereich an den umlaufenden Stegen 21, 22 des Linsenrings 2 anliegen.The spring elements 7 are distributed over the circumference of the lens ring 2, for example, offset by 120 ° to each other, arranged, and are located with spring arms 71, 71 'and 72, 72' and spring systems 73, 73 'and 74, 74' between the protective disks 31, 32, the outwardly directed surfaces abut in its edge region on the circumferential webs 21, 22 of the lens ring 2.

Wie insbesondere der Seitenansicht gemäß Fig. 8 und der perspektivischen Ansicht gemäß Fig. 9 zu entnehmen ist, sind die Federelemente 7 zweiflügelig ausgebildet und weisen eine U-förmige Befestigungslasche 70 auf, von deren dem Seitenrand 310, 320 der Schutzscheiben 31, 32 benachbarter Oberseite jeweils ein Steg 76, 76' rechtwinklig absteht, von dem in Umfangsrichtung der Schutzscheiben 31, 32 nach beiden Seiten Federarme 71, 71' bzw. 72, 72' abgewinkelt sind, deren Endbereiche 77, 78' in die wiederum rechtwinklig abgewinkelten Federanlagen 73, 73' bzw. 74, 74' übergehen. Die Federanlagen 73, 73' bzw. 74, 74' weisen einen Knick 79, 79' auf, der punkt- bzw. linienförmig an den einander zugewandten Oberflächen des Randbereichs der Schutzscheiben 31, 32 anliegt.As in particular the side view according to Fig. 8 and the perspective view according to Fig. 9 it can be seen, the spring elements 7 are formed double-winged and have a U-shaped fastening tab 70, of which the side edge 310, 320 of the protective disks 31, 32 adjacent top each have a web 76, 76 'projects at right angles, of which in the circumferential direction of the protective glasses 31, 32 on both sides of the spring arms 71, 71 'and 72, 72' are angled, the end portions 77, 78 'in turn turn into the right angle angled spring systems 73, 73' and 74, 74 '. The spring systems 73, 73 'and 74, 74' have a kink 79, 79 ', the point or line abuts the mutually facing surfaces of the edge region of the protective disks 31, 32.

Die Seitenränder 310, 320 der Schutzscheiben 31, 32 liegen auf den Endabschnitten 67, 68' der Federarme 71, 71' bzw. 72, 72' auf und sind somit in radialer Richtung gegenüber dem Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 angefedert. Die punkt- bzw. linienförmige Anlage der Federanlagen 73, 73' bzw. 74, 74' gewährleistet eine axial gefederte Abstützung der Schutzscheiben 31, 32, so dass der zwischen den Schutzscheiben 31, 32 ausgebildete Zwischenraum konstant gehalten wird. Gleichzeitig wird in Verbindung mit der radial gefederten Abstützung der Schutzscheiben 31, 32 über die Enden der Federarme 71, 71' bzw. 72, 72' sowie die federnde Anlage der Federanlagen 73, 73' bzw. 74, 74' ein Schutz der Schutzscheiben 31, 32 gegenüber Stößen oder Schlägen gewährleistet, die auf das Scheinwerfergehäuse 1 einwirken können.The side edges 310, 320 of the protective disks 31, 32 are on the end portions 67, 68 'of the spring arms 71, 71' and 72, 72 'and are thus spring-loaded in the radial direction relative to the headlight housing 1. The punctiform or linear arrangement of the spring systems 73, 73 'and 74, 74' ensures an axially sprung support of the protective disks 31, 32, so that the interspace formed between the protective disks 31, 32 is kept constant. At the same time in conjunction with the radially sprung support of the protective disks 31, 32 on the ends of the spring arms 71, 71 'and 72, 72' and the resilient contact of the spring systems 73, 73 'and 74, 74' a protection the shields 31, 32 against shocks or shocks ensures that can act on the headlight housing 1.

Die Feder- oder Halteelemente 9, 9' können wahlweise starr und damit als ausschließliche Halteelemente ausgebildet sein, so dass die Spiralfeder 8 die Schutzscheiben 31, 32 in axialer Richtung federelastisch vorspannt. Alternativ können die Feder- oder Halteelemente 9, 9' federelastisch ausgebildet sein und damit ihrerseits Federelemente ausbilden, die die Schutzscheiben 31, 32 in radialer Richtung anfedern und deren axial federnde Wirkung durch die zwischen den Befestigungsarme 90, 90' angeordnete, in axialer Richtung wirksame Spiralfeder 8 verstärkt wird.The spring or holding elements 9, 9 'can optionally be rigid and thus designed as exclusive holding elements, so that the coil spring 8, the protective plates 31, 32 biases resiliently in the axial direction. Alternatively, the spring or holding elements 9, 9 'be resilient and thus in turn form spring elements which the protective discs 31, 32 in the radial direction and spring whose axial resilient effect by the between the mounting arms 90, 90' arranged, effective in the axial direction Spiral spring 8 is reinforced.

Eine weitere Modifikation der in Fig. 10 in einer Seitenansicht dargestellten Anordnung besteht darin, ein einzelnes Federelement 9 mit einem analog zu der Ausführungsform gern. den Fig. 8 und 9 ausgebildeten Federelement 7 zweiflügelig mit einer U-förmigen Befestigungslasche 90 auszubilden, zwischen der zur Unterstützung der Federwirkung die in Fig. 10 dargestellte Spiralfeder 8 angeordnet ist. In dieser Ausführungsform ist die U-förmige Befestigungslasche 90 ebenfalls mit dem Scheinwerfergehäuse verbunden.Another modification of in Fig. 10 arranged in a side view is like a single spring element 9 with an analogous to the embodiment like. the Fig. 8 and 9 trained spring element 7 double-leaf form with a U-shaped mounting bracket 90, between which in support of the spring action in Fig. 10 illustrated coil spring 8 is arranged. In this embodiment, the U-shaped mounting tab 90 is also connected to the headlight housing.

In Fig. 11 ist eine weitere Variante der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung in einer Seitenansicht dargestellt, bei der ein im Wesentlichen dem Federelement 7 in der Ausführungsform gemäß den Fig. 8 und 9 ausgebildetes Feder- oder Halteelement 9 anstelle der mit einem Knick versehenen Federanlagen mindestens einen vorzugsweise nicht abgeknickten Flanscharm 93 aufweist, an dem sich eine Spiralfeder 8 abstützt und damit die Stützscheibe 31 in axialer Richtung anfedert. Der dem Flanscharm 93 gegenüberliegende Arm kann ebenfalls als flacher Flanscharm 93' oder als Federanlage 93' mit einem Knick ausgebildet sein, an dem sich eine zweite, nicht dargestellte Schutzscheibe abstützt.In Fig. 11 a further variant of the solution according to the invention is shown in a side view, in which a substantially the spring element 7 in the embodiment according to the Fig. 8 and 9 formed spring or holding element 9 instead of the provided with a buckling spring systems at least one preferably not bent flange 93, on which a coil spring 8 is supported and thus the support plate 31 springs in the axial direction. The arm opposite the flange arm 93 can likewise be designed as a flat flange arm 93 'or as a spring system 93' with a kink on which a second, not shown, protective disk is supported.

Auch in dieser Ausführungsform kann das Feder- oder Halteelement 9 als Federelement entsprechend dem in den Fig. 8 und 9 dargestellten und vorstehend beschriebenen Federelement 7 ausgebildet sein, so dass in federnder Unterstützung die Spiralfedern 8 zur axialen Anfederung der Schutzscheiben vorgesehen oder als starre Halteelemente ausgebildet sind, so dass die axiale Anfederung ausschließlich durch die Spiralfedern 8 bewirkt wird.Also in this embodiment, the spring or retaining element 9 as a spring element according to the in the Fig. 8 and 9 represented and described above spring element 7 may be formed, so that in resilient support the coil springs 8 are provided for axial springing of the protective disks or formed as a rigid holding elements, so that the axial springing is effected exclusively by the coil springs 8.
