Definitions

  • the invention relates to motor vehicle light units providing at least two photometric functions.
  • Certain motor vehicle light units comprise a main wall which defines, on the one hand, a reflector providing a first photometric function, and, on the other hand, at least a portion of an area (possibly another reflector) which is located at side of the reflector and which at least partially provides a second photometric function.
  • These optical blocks also comprise an ice placed in front of at least one reflector and possibly a mask interposed between the ice and at least one reflector.
  • photometric function is used herein to mean a function that makes it possible to orient (for example reflect forward) and / or to color the light that is emitted by a lamp (internal).
  • mask means a part that defines in particular a part of the style of the optical block. It is usually metallized and placed behind the ice so that at least its front part is visible from the outside.
  • the inner face of the ice includes fixing lugs which make it possible to immobilize the metal partition wall.
  • the separator plate being in contact with the ice, when the vehicle circulates the vibrations and / or shocks induce not only stresses on the ice but also noise.
  • the realization of the fixing lugs on the ice generally induces what the skilled person calls retards (local injection defects) which are visible from outside the optical block.
  • Document is also known EP1882881 , a metal plate disposed at the rear of the main wall of the optical unit to play only a role of heat sink, without visible influence on the style of the vehicle.
  • the invention therefore aims to improve the quality of the optical block.
  • the object of the invention is to propose an optical block (BO) intended to be implanted in a motor vehicle and providing at least two neighboring photometric functions.
  • BO optical block
  • the optical unit is a headlight (or front projector) intended to be installed in the front of a motor vehicle.
  • the invention is not limited to this type of implantation. It also relates to certain optical blocks, such as signal rear lamps, intended to be installed in the rear of a motor vehicle.
  • Such an optical block BO comprises in particular a main wall PP, a metal plate PM functional separation, a mirror (not shown), and a possible mask (not shown).
  • the main wall PP defines a cavity subdivided into at least two parts.
  • the first part constitutes a part of a first reflector R1 intended to provide a first photometric function
  • the second part constitutes at least a part of an area R2 situated next to the first reflector R1 and intended to ensure at least partially a second photometric function.
  • the part of the main wall PP which defines the first reflector R1 comprises a central opening 01 intended to receive a transmitting part of a lamp (or bulb) L1.
  • this main wall portion PP comprises an internal face FIP which is shaped and processed (for example metallized) so as to reflect forwards the light which is emitted by the lamp L1.
  • This predetermined reflection function (and therefore shaping light) is at least partially the first photometric function of the first reflector R1.
  • the zone R2 which is defined by the main wall PP constitutes for example at least a part of a second reflector. As illustrated on Figures 1 and 2 , this zone (or second reflector) R2 comprises a central opening 02 intended to receive a transmitting part of a lamp (or bulb) L2.
  • the inner face FIP of the main wall portion PP which at least partially defines the second reflector R2 is shaped and processed (for example metallized) so as to reflect forwards the light which is emitted by the lamp L2.
  • This predetermined reflection function (and therefore the shaping of the light) constitutes at least partially the second photometric function of the second reflector (or zone) R2.
  • the term "internal face” the FIP face of the main wall PP which defines the interior of the aforementioned cavity.
  • external face is understood to mean the FEP face (see figure 13 ) of the main wall PP which defines the outside of the aforementioned cavity.
  • the cavity (delimited by the main wall PP) houses a metal plate PM in a position which ensures separation of the first and second photometric functions.
  • the joining of this metal plate PM to the main wall PP is by stress plating in a first direction D1 by cooperation of the first fixing means MF1j of the main wall PP and second fixing means MF2j of the metal plate PM on which we will come back later.
  • This first direction D1 is substantially parallel to the vertical direction once the optical block BO installed in a motor vehicle.
  • the metal plate PM is arranged to participate at least in the first photometric function. It can also and possibly participate in the second photometric function.
  • the metal plate PM may for example be stamped so as to define steps or stair steps each having (e) a chosen inclination adapted to the photometric function to ensure.
  • the metal plate PM comprises a rear portion PRP, which is placed in the bottom of the cavity (in the vicinity of the central opening O1), and a front portion PVP, which is located just before the inner face of the mask M (when it is planned) or just before the inner face of the ice (in the absence of a mask). It is recalled that the ice is usually placed in front of at least the first reflector R1 and that the optional mask is interposed between the ice and at least the second reflector R2. The ice and the possible mask M are secured to the main wall PP.
  • the main wall PP and the metal plate PM respectively comprise first MF1j and second MF2j fixing means which cooperate together, for the purpose of securing them to one another by plating. under stress, without the PVP front portion of the metal plate PM is in contact with the inner face of the mask or ice.
  • the second fixing means MF2j can be arranged in the form of at least two pressed elastic tabs.
  • the use of elastic tabs is particularly advantageous because it makes it possible to catch any games induced by local dimensional variations.
  • the metal plate PM could comprise two, three or five, or even more than five second attachment means MF2j.
  • the four second fixing means MF2j are respectively defined on the peripheral edge of the metal plate PM, in four different zones Zj.
  • the first Z1 and second Z2 areas are located in the front portion PVP of the metal plate PM, while the third Z3 and fourth Z4 areas are located in the rear portion PRP of the metal plate PM.
  • the respective orientations and shapes of the elastic tabs MF2j depend on the locations where the second corresponding fastening means MF1j of the main wall PP are defined.
  • the first elastic lug MF21 (see figures 3 , 5 and 6 ) is folded towards the lower face FI of the metal plate PM, which is oriented towards the second reflector R2, while the second MF22 (see Figures 3, 4 and 7 ), third MF23 (see Figures 3, 4 and 10 ), and fourth MF24 (see Figures 3, 4 and 11 ) elastic tabs are inclined on the side of the upper face FS of the metal plate PM, which is oriented towards the first reflector R1.
  • the elastic tabs MF2j may comprise at least one local deformation DL, preferably semi-spherical (for example half-spheres), intended to promote their plating against a part of the corresponding first fixing means MF1j.
  • This local deformation DL is obtained by stamping.
  • the first MF21, second MF22 and third MF23 elastic tabs each comprise a local deformation (semi-spherical) DL concave or convex type
  • the fourth elastic tab MF24 comprises a first local deformation (semi -spherical) DL concave type and a second local deformation (semi-spherical) DL convex type (for stressing of the metal plate PM in the first direction D1 in two opposite directions).
  • the number of local deformations of each elastic tab MF2j may be equal to one or two or even three.
  • other forms can be envisaged for local deformations DL.
  • they can be pyramidal (possibly truncated), for example.
  • the local deformations DL may possibly vary from one MF2j elastic lug to another MF2j '.
  • the first fastening means MF1j are arranged to cooperate respectively with the different (at least two) second fixing means MF2j corresponding.
  • the first fixing means MF1j may advantageously be in the form of housings (or cavities). This makes it possible to mask at least some of the elastic tabs MF2j, thus making them invisible from outside the optical block BO.
  • the first fixing means MF1j can be arranged in the form of a housing defined in a fixing lug PF which is secured to the main wall PP.
  • the main wall PP comprises a first zone in which is defined a fixing lug PF provided at its free end (front) of a housing MF11 defining the first fixing means and intended to house the first elastic leg MF21.
  • the first housing MF11 is here open on three sides to facilitate the introduction of the first elastic lug MF21.
  • At least one of the first fixing means MF1j may be arranged in the form of a housing defined in the main wall PP.
  • the second housing MF12 is here open on one side. It includes first F1 and second F2 faces facing each other. As illustrated, the first face F1 is preferably disoriented with respect to the second face F2 so as to push the second elastic lug MF22 to this second face F2 and thus press against the latter substantially in the first direction D1.
  • the first (upper) face F1 is provided with at least one projection (for example a counter-form) S which is oriented towards the second (lower) face F2 and intended to reinforce the plating of the second elastic tab MF22 towards this second face F2. In fact, it is the local deformation DL of the second elastic tab MF22 which is forced to contact the second face F2.
  • the first face (upper) F1 is provided with two projections (here counter shapes) S so as to promote the quality of the plating of the second elastic lug MF22 against the second face F2 of the second housing MF12.
  • the third housing MF13 is here open on three sides to facilitate the introduction of the third elastic tab MF23. It includes first F1 and second F2 faces facing each other. As illustrated, the first face F1 is preferably disoriented with respect to the second face F2 so as to push the third elastic lug MF23 to this second face F2 and thus press against the latter substantially in the first direction D1.
  • the first (upper) face F1 is provided with a single projection S which is oriented towards the second (lower) face F2 and intended to strengthen the plating of the third elastic tab MF23 to this second face F2. In fact, it is the local deformation DL of the third elastic tab MF23 which is forced to contact the second face F2.
  • the first (upper) face F1 of this third housing MF13 could be provided with two projections S, as in the case of the second housing MF12.
  • the fourth MF14 housing is here open on one side. he includes first F1 and second F2 faces facing each other. As illustrated, the first face F1 is preferably disoriented with respect to the second face F2 so as to push the fourth elastic tab MF24 to this second face F2 and thus press against the latter substantially in the first direction D1.
  • the first (upper) face F1 is provided with a single projection S which is oriented towards the second (lower) face F2 and intended to strengthen the plating of the fourth elastic tab MF24 to this second face F2. In fact, it is the local deformation DL of the fourth elastic tab MF24 which is forced to contact the second face F2.
  • the first (upper) face F1 of this fourth housing MF14 could be provided with two projections S, as in the case of the second housing MF12.
  • the metal plate PM is secured to the main wall PP by stress plating in the first direction D1, without gluing, clipping or welding, which is particularly advantageous.
  • the main wall PP comprises at least one auxiliary housing LA and the metal plate PM comprises at least one positioning tab MPk intended to be housed in a corresponding auxiliary housing LA.
  • auxiliary housing LA are through openings. But, this is not mandatory.
