Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle headlamp with a concealer and a removable electrical connection box.
  • the invention relates to the maintenance of a shield and a connection box in a projector.
  • the document EP 1 286 109 discloses a motor vehicle headlamp, comprising a headlamp housing in which are mounted a lamp, a reflector, an occluder attached to the reflector, and an electrical connection box for powering the lamp.
  • a bracket for the electrical connection box is fixed by means of screws on the back of the reflector.
  • the base of the lamp is provided with a ring engaged in a corresponding orifice of the reflector when the lamp is in place. The lamp is held in this position by the force of a spring placed on the support.
  • the connection box is fixed by screws on the support.
  • Such an arrangement has the disadvantage of requiring many parts mounted by screwing and the retention of the lamp by a spring, which complicates the assembly and requires the operator to use the gods hands to make a change of lamp or housing connection.
  • the invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a projector in which the connection box can be mounted in a simple manner to allow faster mounting.
  • the patent US 6072277 which is considered as the closest prior art, describes a motor vehicle headlamp according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention relates to a motor vehicle headlamp comprising a headlamp housing in which are mounted a lamp, a reflector provided with a central hole for mounting the lamp, a concave having an occulting portion surrounding the lamp and secured to a support, a removable electrical connection box adapted to be connected to the lamp to connect it to an electrical circuit, and locking means of the connection box, the support of the shield being provided with fixing means intended to be fixed on the rear part of the reflector characterized in that the fixing means are able to cooperate with the locking means of the connection box in order to rigidly hold the latter in the connected position.
  • Maintaining the housing in position connected to the lamp can maintain it, without requiring special means such as a spring.
  • the securing means of the occluder cooperate with the locking means of the connection box in order to rigidly hold the latter in the connected position in the direction of the axis of the orifice of the reflector.
  • Such a hold ensures a good connection of the housing to the lamp and effective maintenance of the lamp.
  • the projector lamp comprises a retaining flange bearing against the rear edge of the central orifice of the reflector, and the securing means of the concealer are adapted to cooperate with the flange to hold the lamp in the orifice reflector when the connection box is disconnected from the lamp.
  • the lamp is held in place even when the housing is not connected.
  • the securing means of the occluder and the locking means of the housing cooperate by snapping. Easy and fast assembly and disassembly of the housing and the lamp are thus obtained because it is no longer necessary to screw and unscrew screws.
  • the securing means of the occluder comprise at least one fastening tab shaped so as to pass through the central orifice of the reflector substantially parallel to the axis of said orifice, the tab being folded back on itself so as to form a fold extending in a radial direction of the orifice and adapted to be fixed on the rear of the reflector, the end of the tab projecting radially inwardly of the orifice and being adapted to cooperate with the collar of the lamp or the locking means of the connection box.
  • the same tab thus serves to maintain the lamp in the absence of the housing and the maintenance of the housing when connected to the lamp.
  • the end of the fastening tab of the occulter is folded substantially parallel to the axis of the orifice of the reflector towards the occulting portion of the occulter.
  • the bracket of the concealer is fixed by screwing or riveting on the reflector.
  • only one leg is provided, only one screw must then be screwed, which allows to quickly set the occulteur.
  • the fastening means are formed in one piece with the concealer.
  • the locking means of the electrical connection box comprise at least one retaining tab extending substantially parallel to the axis of the orifice of the reflector and at least one spring disposed on its face intended to be connected to the lamp, and the holding lug and the end of the bracket of the concealer are formed of so as to cooperate to block the displacement of the housing in the axial direction of the orifice when the housing is connected to the lamp, the spring being compressed between the housing and the flange of the lamp.
  • the housing holding tab is provided with a lateral pusher for pushing the retaining tab radially towards the axis of the orifice of the reflector in order to disengage the retaining tab from the fastening tab of the cloaking. It is then very easy to disconnect the housing with one hand to access the lamp, for example to change it.
  • the figure 1 shows in section a reflector 1, a shield 2, a lamp 3 and an electrical connection box 4 for connecting the lamp to an electrical circuit not shown. These elements are located inside the housing of a motor vehicle headlamp not shown.
  • the reflector 1 is fixed inside the projector housing in an adjustable manner.
  • the reflector has a parabolic shape provided with a central orifice 5 for receiving the lamp 3.
  • the lamp 3 has a support portion 6 provided with a flange 7 intended to bear against the rear face of the reflector 1, on the edge of the central orifice 5, as visible in the figures.
  • the rear face of the various elements is that directed towards the connection box 4 (that is to the right of the figures), the front face being located on the side of the lamp (to the left of the figures).
  • the lamp has, on the rear face of its support 6, plugs 8 for electrical connection to the connection box 4.
  • the concealer 2 has an occulting portion 2a surrounding the lamp integral with a support 2b.
  • the concave part 2a substantially conical, is placed around the lamp 3.
  • connection box 4 has on its front face 4a intended to be connected to the lamp, orifices (not shown) for receiving the plugs 8 of the lamp. It can thus be easily connected and disconnected from the lamp.
  • the support 2b of the shield is provided with fixing means intended to be fixed on the rear part of the reflector and able to cooperate with locking means of the connection box in order to rigidly hold the latter in the connected position.
  • this cooperation makes it possible to rigidly hold the latter in a position connected in the direction of the axis X of the orifice 5 of the reflector 1.
  • the securing means of the occluder comprise a fastening tab 9, shaped so as to pass through the central orifice 5 of the reflector substantially parallel to the axis X of said orifice.
  • the tab 9 is integral with the occulting portion 2a, and its distal end of the portion 2a is folded on itself so as to form a fold 9b ( figure 2 ) extending in a radial direction of the orifice 5 and adapted to be fixed on the rear of the reflector 1.
  • an orifice is provided through the fold to fix the tab by means of a screw 10, or a rivet, on the back of the reflector.
  • the orifice 5 of the reflector has a slot in which is housed the tab. In this way, the diameter of the orifice 5 is not reduced.
  • the free end 9a of the tab projects radially towards the inside of the orifice 5 (in the direction of the axis X) and is able to cooperate with the flange 7 of the lamp or the locking means of the connection box .
  • it is preferably folded substantially parallel to the axis X of the reflector orifice in the direction of the occulting portion 2a of the occulter.
  • the tab 9 is preferably made in one piece with the support 2b and the occulting portion 2a of the occluder, as shown in the figures.
  • connection box 4 is provided with locking means comprising a holding tab 11 extending substantially parallel to the axis X of the orifice of the reflector and at least one spring 12 (shown only figure 2 ) disposed on its front face 4a intended to be connected to the lamp.
  • the holding lug 11 and the end 9a of the securing lug the concave are shaped so as to cooperate to block the movement of the housing in the axial direction of the orifice when the housing 4 is connected to the lamp.
  • the holding lug extends substantially parallel to the axis X of the central orifice 5 of the reflector and projects from the front face 4a of the connection box towards the front.
  • the end of this tab is folded radially outwardly, in order to engage with the end 9a of the bracket of the concealer.
  • the spring 12 is then compressed between the housing 4 and the flange 7 of the lamp.
  • two springs 12 are provided on either side of the housing 4.
  • the holding lug 11 of the housing is provided with a lateral pusher 13 extending substantially parallel to the lug 11.
  • This pusher 13 makes it possible to push the retaining lug 11 radially in the direction of the X axis of the orifice of the reflector to disengage it from the end 9a of the bracket of the concealer.
  • the housing can easily be disconnected with one hand.
  • connection box When the connection box is not yet connected to the lamp 3, as shown in FIG. figure 2 , the end 9a of the fixing lug engages with the flange 7 of the lamp 3, so that it is held in place despite the absence of the housing 4. It is thus not necessary to provide a specific spring to hold the lamp.
  • fixing and locking means may be envisaged.
