Definitions

  • the invention relates to motor vehicle light units.
  • This type of optical block which is described in particular in the patent document FR 2808247 , is intended to provide at the mask a so-called LED (light-emitting diode (or LED)) effect which is similar to that provided by LEDs, but using a traditional light source (such as a lamp (or bulb)) instead of the LEDs.
  • LED light-emitting diode
  • the photometry that a "lamp plus mask” system must respect is fixed by the number of holes of the mask, called functional, which are sufficient to diffuse the light of the lamp. Since this photometry may vary from one optical block model to another, it will be understood that certain holes of the mask may be non-functional (that is to say, useless to the definition of photometry). In other words, the number of functional holes and the number of non-functional holes (intended to give a stylistic effect) vary from one optical block model to another. However, when the lamp plus mask system does not perform its function (and therefore the lamp is off), the color that is perceived at the functional holes is substantially different from that perceived at the non-functional holes. which is detrimental to the style of the function.
  • the invention therefore aims to improve the situation.
  • an optical unit intended to be part of a motor vehicle and comprising i) a housing housing at least one light source, a screen provided with a number N of diffusion elements and placed in front of the source of light, and a mask placed in front of the screen and provided with M functional holes respectively associated with at least some of the diffusion elements and K non-functional holes placed next to the functional holes, and ii) an ice placed in front of the mask.
  • N is greater than or equal to 1, and preferably greater than or equal to 2.
  • K is greater than or equal to 1, and preferably greater than or equal to 2.
  • M is less than or equal to N, greater than or equal to 1, and preference greater than or equal to 2.
  • This optical block is characterized in that it furthermore comprises at least one occulting element installed between the housing and the mask, behind the non-functional holes, and arranged in such a way as to prevent the light which comes from the source of the go through the non-functional holes.
  • a motor vehicle optical unit comprising: i) a housing housing at least one light source, a screen provided with several diffusion elements and placed in front of said light source, and a mask placed in front of said light source; screen and provided with several holes, at least some of which are respectively associated with at least some of said diffusion elements, and ii) an ice placed in front of said mask, characterized in that it further comprises at least one occulting element installed between said housing and said mask behind only some of said holes and arranged to prevent light from said source from passing through these obscured holes.
  • the FA optical unit is a signal rear light intended to be installed in the rear of a motor vehicle.
  • the invention is not limited to this type of implantation. It also relates to certain optical units intended to be installed at the front of a motor vehicle.
  • Such an optical unit (rear) FA comprises a housing B secured to the front side to an ice (front) G and possibly the back side to what the man of the art calls a "lamp holder” PL.
  • the latter (PL) serves as a support for at least one light source S, such as a lamp (or bulb).
  • the lamp holder PL supports in its upper part a lamp which does not participate in the invention, and in its lower part a lamp S which is part of what the man of the art sometimes calls the "lamp system plus mask Object of the invention.
  • a lamp plus mask system is intended to provide a predetermined function of a predetermined photometry within an optical unit FA while providing an effect of light emitting diodes (or LEDs (or LEDs)). These functions include the reversing light (white), the flashing light (orange), and the stop light (red).
  • the casing B houses (on the front side, that is to say on the side of its inner face FI) an EC screen, at least one occulting element EO and a mask MA.
  • the housing B is intended to house a single occulting element EO.
  • the invention is not limited to this number of EO occultation elements, as will be seen below. It applies in fact to FA optical blocks comprising at least one occultation element EO.
  • the screen EC is installed in the housing B so as to be placed in front of the light source S. It comprises a number N (N ⁇ 2) of diffusion elements LD. Each diffusion element is in the form of a diffusion lens or a prism for diffusing a portion of the light that the light source S emits towards the ice G (that is to say the front (which here corresponds to the rear vehicle)).
  • the LD diffusion elements are arranged to contribute to the photometry of the function which is provided by the lamp system plus mask of the optical block FA.
  • This screen EC may for example be a molded part made of a material such as polycarbonate (or PC).
  • the EC screen has ten LD distribution elements.
  • the four rightmost DL diffusion elements are not completely surrounded by matter. This is intended to facilitate and / or improve the occultation of the light by the occulting element OE, as will be seen later. In addition it reduces the weight of the EC screen.
  • the EC screen comprises an upper part placed above the LD diffusion elements.
  • This upper part is intended to contribute to another function of the optical block FA together with the lamp which is located above the lamp S of the lamp system plus mask on the lamp holder PL. It will be understood that this upper part may not exist. It will also be understood that the screen EC may possibly comprise a lower part placed below the diffusion elements LD.
  • the term "functional hole” means a hole (or window) which is associated with a diffusion element LD which contributes to the photometry of the function which is provided by the lamp plus mask system of the optical unit FA, and which thereby also contributes to this function.
  • the functional holes are those which will remain unobstructed during the setting up of the occultation element, while the non-functional holes are those which will become obscured during setting up the occulting element.
  • the choice between the holes that we will hide and those that we will not hide depends on the desired photometry, for example light anywhere or only on one side, or the whole realizing this or that bright pattern rather than another.
  • non-functioning hole is understood to mean a hole (or window) that is not associated with a diffusion element LD or that is associated with a diffusion element LD that does not contribute to the photometry of the function which is ensured by the lamp system plus mask of the optical block FA, and which therefore does not contribute to this function.
  • the non-functional holes TNk are therefore used for the style, it is that is to say to participate in the effect of LEDs.
  • hole associated with a diffusion element LD here refers to a hole (or window) TFm or TNk which is placed in front of a (or opposite to) a diffusion element LD or which houses at least a part of an LD diffusion element (as is the case in the nonlimiting example illustrated in FIG. figure 3 ).
  • TFm functional holes
  • TNk non-functional holes
  • the mask MA is preferably metallized (for example chromed), at least partially, in particular on its front face which is intended to be observed from outside the vehicle and on reflective portions at least partially defining the holes (or windows) TFm and TNk.
  • the shape of the mask M depends on how the diffusion elements LD are arranged relative to each other in the housing B to provide an LED effect.
  • the shape of the holes TFm and TNk depends on the shape of the diffusion elements LD. In the non-limiting example illustrated on the Figures 1 to 3 the diffusion elements LD and the holes TFm and TNk have substantially square shapes.
  • Each EO concealment element is installed between the housing B and the mask MA, behind the non-functional holes TNk.
  • a blackout element E0 is arranged to prevent light from the (source) lamp S from passing through at least one non-functional hole TNk.
  • this occulting element EO prevents the light that comes from the lamp (source) S to go through each of the non-functional TNk holes.
  • non-functional holes TNk are placed at different, non-adjacent locations with respect to the functional holes TFm, then several (at least two) EO occulting elements must be used if it is desired to prevent light which is from the lamp (source) S to go through the different non-functional holes TNk.
  • each EO occulting element may be colored or uncolored as required, and in particular depending on whether the area of the ice G which is located opposite the mask MA is colored or not colored.
  • the obscuration element EO has a color which is substantially identical to that which presents the area of the ice G which is situated in front of the mask MA.
  • each occlusion element EO can be installed next to the screen EC, behind one (or more, or all) holes (s). ) non-functional TNk.
  • the occulting element EO is pressed against the non-functional holes TNk in order to substitute for the non-planned diffusion elements LD because they are useless in the definition of the photometry of the function of the lamp plus mask system.
  • each EO concealment element is preferably installed between the box B and the screen EC, behind one (or more or all) element (s) of diffusion LD which is (are) associated with (a) (or to, or non-functional, hole (s) TNk.
  • the blocking element EO it is preferable that the latter (EO) directly surrounds as much as possible the LD diffusion elements behind which it is placed.
  • the LD diffusion elements behind which it is placed may be surrounded by a minimum of material (as shown on the figure 2 ). Note that this may possibly require the presence of opening (s) and / or cut (s) in the occluding element EO for the passage of connecting bridges between the "functional" and “non-functional” diffusion elements LD. functional ".
  • an EO concealment element depends mainly on how the non-functional holes TNk and the associated diffusion elements LD are arranged relative to each other in the case B.
  • the non-functional holes TNk and the associated diffusion elements LD form substantially a square.
  • the occulting element EO has a square or rectangular shape. But, it could have any other shape, including a triangular shape or L or U.
  • the non-functional holes TNk appear substantially of the same color as the functional holes TFm when the lamp plus mask system does not provide not its function (and therefore that the lamp S is off), thus allowing not to degrade the style, and secondly, the lamp plus mask system provides the desired photometry for its function (when the lamp S is lit).
  • the immobilization of an obscuration element EO with respect to the housing B, in its light concealment position can for example be done by means of at least two pins (or pins) PT which are defined in places appropriate of the internal face FI of said housing B.
  • Each occlusion element EO may for example be made in the form of a substantially planar flexible seal.
  • Such an EO seal may for example be made of synthetic rubber (such as EPDM ("Ethylene-Propylene Diene Monomer” - terpolymer of ethylene-propylene diene)).
  • EPDM Ethylene-Propylene Diene Monomer
  • a substantially planar flexible seal can indeed relatively easily marry the shapes of the elements (or parts) between which (it) is placed, and thus prevent the passage of light through these elements (or parts).
