Definitions

  • the invention relates to a headlamp for vehicles according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a headlamp for vehicles which has an incandescent lamp with a high-beam filament and a daytime running filament. Below the high-beam filament a diaphragm is arranged so that the light is emitted to generate the high beam in the direction of an upper reflecting surface of a reflector and reflected there.
  • a headlamp for vehicles is known with a cup-shaped reflector and an incandescent lamp, wherein the incandescent lamp has a high-beam filament and a Abbleriumt Maisl.
  • the high-beam filament Above the high-beam filament, a diaphragm is arranged, so that the light beam emitted by the high-beam filament hits only a lower region of the reflector.
  • the light bulb is arranged centrally to the reflector.
  • the object of the invention is to make a headlamp such that no beams of light are caused by the high beam associated with the aperture, disturbing the front of the vehicle after a further reflection on the reflector or illuminate stained, and that the area distribution between daytime running lights and high beam the lighting Requirements of the lighting function is better adapted.
  • the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • the light rays of the high-beam filament reflected on the inside of the diaphragm are directed downward and then reflect the reflector upwards. Upwardly directed light beams are not involved in the illumination of the road, and thus no disturbing light spots in the apron of the vehicle.
  • the shadowable by the aperture upper reflector portion has a designed for daytime running reflective surface and the reflector below the designed for daytime running reflective surface designed for high beam lower reflection surface
  • the upper reflection surface for daytime running lights 25th % of the total reflection surface of the reflector corresponds or seen the lamp opposite to the light exit direction of the reflector and starting from the center of a vertical middle line has an offset upwards of at least 5%, preferably 8 to 12% of the reflector height or the entire lamp envelope opposite to the light exit direction of the reflector seen in the upper Half of the reflector is arranged.
  • the reflector By off-center the reflector arranged position of the lamp, the area distribution between daytime running lights and high beam can be adapted to the lighting requirements of lighting functions exactly.
  • the reflector can be designed so that as much light power for the high beam, but still enough for the daytime running lights available.
  • the upper edge of the reflector is arranged offset from its lower edge to the rear of the reflector to the rear. This is only possible by the off-center offset of the bulb upwards and the shape of the reflector, this can be adjusted with its front edge of the inclination of the lens of the headlamp, which extends obliquely backwards to the rear.
  • the reflector is optically advantageous designed when switched on daytime running the lower reflector portion an arcuate partial light distribution, the arc is opened upwards, and the upper reflector portion generates a partial light distribution, which extends above this and the interior of the arc-shaped partial light distribution fills.
  • the upper reflection surface for daytime running light has a daytime running light scattering optics surface which generates a partial upper light distribution, which together with a lower partial light distribution, which generates the lower reflector portion for high beam, a total light distribution for daytime running lights, the light of the daytime running light at the reflection surface at least between 15 ° and 25 °, preferably between 18 ° to 22 ° scatters.
  • the reflector is torsionally rigid and appealing in appearance when the daytime running surface upper reflecting surface comprises arcuate broad strip portions formed by optical elements and the lower reflecting surface for high beam comprises optical broad strip portions formed by optical elements, the number of adjacent ends being arcuate and vertical extending wide strip portions is the same size.
  • the headlight for vehicles after the FIGS. 1 and 2 has a pot-shaped housing (not shown) and a front cover of the housing covering translucent cover 16, which is at least partially free of optical elements.
  • a pot-shaped housing not shown
  • a front cover of the housing covering translucent cover 16 which is at least partially free of optical elements.
  • the cover plate 16 is upward to the rear inclined, ie the upper edge of the cover plate 16 is set back relative to the lower edge.
  • a cup-shaped reflector 1 is arranged.
  • the reflector 1 is made of plastic and has at the rear a receiving opening 17 for an incandescent lamp, of which a daytime running light 4, a high-beam filament 3 and a high-beam filament 3 associated trough-shaped aperture 5 is shown.
  • the daytime running filament 4 is arranged between the receiving opening 17 and the high-beam filament 3, wherein the high-beam filament 3 is located on an axis 18, which is the longitudinal axis of the incandescent lamp or the optical axis of the reflector 1, and the daytime running filament 4 is slightly below the axis 18.
  • the trough-shaped aperture 5 is arranged above the high-beam filament 3 and symmetrically to a vertical central line 9.
  • the diaphragm 5 shields an upper reflection surface 7 of an upper reflector section 6.
  • the shielded by the aperture 5 reflection surface 7 is smaller than the reflection surface, which lies above a horizontal surface in which the axis 18 extends.
  • the high beam beams 19 are directed, which collects the lower reflection surface 8 to a reaching far into the light beam.
  • the high beam produces a high beam distribution.
  • the high beam beams 19 are almost parallel except for small angular deviations.
  • the incident on the lower reflection surface 8 light rays 21 of the daytime running light spiral 4 generate because of their defocus to the lower reflection surface 8 an arcuate lower partial light distribution 15, wherein the sheet is open upwards.
  • the upper reflection surface 7 is optimally designed for daytime running lights and the light rays impinging on the upper reflection surface 7 generate a partial light distribution 12, which is arranged substantially above the lower partial light distribution 15.
  • the upper partial light distribution 12 fills in a region of the interior of the arc of the lower partial light distribution 12 and has a bar which extends above the ends of the arc of the lower partial light distribution 15.
  • the upper reflection surface 7 of the reflector has a plurality of arcuate optical strip sections 13, whose course is adapted to the course of the outer edge of the reflector 1 and / or surrounding the receiving opening 17 concentrically.
  • the arcuate strip sections 13 are each composed of juxtaposed optical elements.
  • the lower reflection surface 7 has a plurality of vertically extending optical strip sections 14, which approach the arcuate strip sections 13.
  • Each end of the arcuate strip sections 13 is assigned at least one vertical strip section 13.
  • the entire reflection surface of the reflector 1 appears like a torbogen and thus there is a harmonious appearance.
  • a thin-walled reflector made of plastic may have sufficient rigidity and heat resistance.
  • the receiving opening 17 is arranged off-center of the reflector 1.
  • the receiving opening 17 is seen against the light exit direction of the reflector 1 offset upwards offset (10).
  • the outer reflector dimensions are between 90 and 110 mm and the offset 10 is about 8 to 12% of the outer reflector dimension.
  • the offset 10 the entire reflection surface of the reflector 1 can be designed so that the front edge of the reflector 1 as well as the cover plate 16 extends obliquely backwards towards the top. In this case, the front edge of the reflector 1 extend approximately at an equidistant distance from the cover plate 16.
  • the receiving opening 17 is arranged centrally in the reflector 1.
