Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lampeneinheit gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a lamp unit according to the preamble of
Eine derartige Lampeneinheit kann prinzipiell bei einer Vielzahl von einseitig gesockelten Lampen eingesetzt werden. Das Hauptanwendungsgebiet dürfte jedoch bei Lampeneinheiten für Fahrzeugscheinwerfer liegen. Eine Lampeneinheit für derartige Kraftfahrzeugscheinwerfer ist beispielsweise in der
Bei diesen bekannten Lösungen hat die Lampeneinheit eine Entladungslampe, wie sie beispielsweise unter der Produktbezeichnung "Xenarc™" vertrieben wird. Diese Hochdruckentladungslampe hat einen ein- oder mehrteiligen Lampensockel, über den sie in eine Fassung eines Reflektors eines Kraftfahrzeugscheinwerfers einsetzbar ist. Um die Lampe im Reflektor auszurichten und eine Fehlmontage verschiedener Lampentypen zu verhindern, sind an einem Referenzierring des Sockels eine oder mehrere Referenzier- und Kodierausnehmungen ausgebildet, die mit entsprechenden Vorsprüngen an der Fassung des Reflektors zusammen wirken, so dass die Lampe nur in einer vorbestimmten Relativposition mit Bezug zur Fassung eingesetzt werden kann. Des Weiteren wird durch diese Referenzierung verhindert, dass in einem Fahrzeugscheinwerfer Lampen eines nicht vorgesehenen Typs eingesetzt werden.In these known solutions, the lamp unit has a discharge lamp, as sold for example under the product name "Xenarc ™". This high-pressure discharge lamp has a one-part or multi-part lamp cap, by way of which it can be inserted into a socket of a reflector of a motor vehicle headlight. In order to align the lamp in the reflector and to prevent incorrect assembly of different lamp types, one or more referencing and Kodierausnehmungen are formed on a Referenzierring the socket, which cooperate with corresponding projections on the socket of the reflector, so that the lamp only in a predetermined relative position can be used with reference to the version. Furthermore, this referencing prevents lamps of an unintentional type from being used in a vehicle headlight.
Bei den herkömmlichen Lösungen werden an dem Sockel der Hochdruckentladungslampe zusätzlich noch eine Vielzahl von radial auskragenden Zusatzelementen, die Bestandteil des Scheinwerfers sind, angeordnet, an denen mechanische Bauelemente, beispielsweise Klammern, Bügel, Überwurfkäfige oder dergleichen angreifen, um den Sockel in der Fassung des Reflektors festzulegen.In the conventional solutions, a plurality of radially projecting additional elements which are part of the headlamp are additionally arranged on the base of the high-pressure discharge lamp, on which mechanical components, for example clamps, brackets, coupling cages or the like, engage around the base in the socket of the reflector set.
Nachteilig bei diesen Lösungen ist, dass derartige Lampeneinheiten zum einen relativ aufwendig aufgebaut sind, da die zusätzlichen Bauelemente zur Lagefixierung vorgesehen werden müssen. Zum anderen ist der Montageaufwand durch das Ansetzen der zusätzlichen Bauelemente erhöht.A disadvantage of these solutions is that such lamp units are constructed for a relatively complex, since the additional components must be provided for fixing the position. On the other hand, the assembly effort is increased by the attachment of additional components.
Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfach aufgebaute und mit geringem Aufwand zu montierende Lampeneinheit zu schaffen.In contrast, the invention has for its object to provide a simply constructed and easy to install lamp unit.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Lampeneinheit mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Besondere vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by a lamp unit with the features of
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Lampeneinheit mit einer Lampe ausgeführt, die in einen Reflektor eingesetzt ist und einen Sockel mit einem Referenzring hat, an dem zumindest eine Referenzierfläche ausgebildet ist. Diese wirkt mit einem entsprechenden Referenzierelement einer Fassung des Reflektors zusammen. Die Verbindung der Lampe mit dem Reflektor erfolgt mittels eines lösbaren Bajonettverschlusses.According to the invention, the lamp unit is designed with a lamp which is inserted in a reflector and has a base with a reference ring on which at least one referencing surface is formed. This cooperates with a corresponding referencing element of a version of the reflector. The lamp is connected to the reflector by means of a detachable bayonet catch.
Durch die Verwendung eines Bajonettverschlusses kann die Lampe direkt mit dem Reflektor verbunden werden, so dass die aufwendige Montage der Zusatzbauteile, beispielsweise der eingangs beschriebenen Klammern, Bügel oder Überwurfkäfige entfallen kann und somit sowohl der vorrichtungstechnische Aufwand als auch der Montageaufwand verringert ist.By using a bayonet closure, the lamp can be connected directly to the reflector, so that the complex assembly of the additional components, such as the above-described brackets, brackets or throwaway cages can be omitted and thus both the device complexity and the assembly cost is reduced.
Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung hat der Bajonettverschluss am Referenzring ausgebildete, umfangsseitig mündende Freischnitte, denen aus einer Innenumfangsfläche der Fassung radial auskragende Bajonettnocken zugeordnet sind. Diese stehen beim Einsetzen der Lampe in den Reflektor in Überdeckung mit den Freischnitten und hintergreifen den Referenzring im verriegelten Zustand.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bayonet closure has formed on the reference ring, circumferentially opening free cuts, which are assigned from an inner peripheral surface of the socket radially projecting bayonet cams. These are when inserting the lamp in the reflector in coverage with the cutouts and engage behind the reference ring in the locked state.
An der Innenumfangsfläche der Fassung können gegenüber den Bajonettnocken versetzte Auflagezapfen für den Referenzring ausgebildet werden.On the inner peripheral surface of the socket offset from the bayonet cams bearing pins can be formed for the reference ring.
Dabei wird es bevorzugt, wenn an einer auflagezapfenseitigen Ringfläche des Referenzrings Referenznoppen ausgebildet sind, die in definierte Anlage an die genannten Auflagezapfen bringbar sind.It is preferred if reference studs are formed on a support pin-side annular surface of the reference ring, which can be brought in defined contact with said support pins.
Zur eindeutigen Bestimmung der Verriegelungsposition sind bei einer Variante der Erfindung am Außenumfang des Sockels Anschlagnocken ausgebildet, auf die die Bajonettnocken beim Verbinden auflaufen.For unambiguous determination of the locking position, in a variant of the invention, stop cams are formed on the outer circumference of the base, onto which the bayonet cams accumulate during connection.
Bei einem weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein Anschlagnocken an der Innenumfangsfläche etwa auf einer gleichen axialen Höhe wie die Auflagezapfen ausgebildet und hat einen etwa in einer Längsrichtung des Reflektors hin zu den Bajonettnocken erstreckenden und zur Innenumfangsfläche beabstandeten Anschlagabschnitt.In a further preferred embodiment, a stop cam on the inner peripheral surface is formed approximately at a same axial height as the support pins and has an abutment portion extending approximately in a longitudinal direction of the reflector toward the bayonet cams and spaced from the inner circumferential surface.
Beim Einsetzen der Lampe taucht der Anschlagabschnitt in eine Rastnut des Referenzrings ein, wobei beim Verriegeln ein Nutrandabschnitt der Rastnut auf den Anschlagnocken aufläuft.When inserting the lamp, the stopper portion dips into a locking groove of the reference ring, wherein when locking a Nutrandabschnitt the locking groove runs onto the stop cam.
Die Rastnut kann mit geringem vorrichtungstechnischen Aufwand als Aussparung in die Seitenwandungen eines Freischnitts ausgebildet sein.The locking groove can be formed with little device complexity as a recess in the side walls of an open cut.
Zur Arretierung des Lampensockels in Umfangsrichtung kann der Anschlagabschnitt in einer Verriegelungsposition der Lampe von einem an einer Grundfläche des Freischnitts ausgebildeten Verriegelungsvorsprungs hintergriffen sein.For locking the lamp cap in the circumferential direction of the stopper portion may be engaged behind in a locking position of the lamp by a formed on a base surface of the free-cutting locking projection.
Um eine im Wesentlichen spielfreie Verriegelung des Lampensockels im Reflektor zu ermöglichen kann die Rastnut derart ausgestaltet sein, dass in der Verriegelungsposition der Referenzring über den Anschlagnocken gegen an der Innenumfangsfläche etwa gegenüberliegend des Anschlagnockens ausgebildete Vorspannerhöhungen gespannt ist.In order to enable a substantially backlash-free locking of the lamp cap in the reflector, the latching groove can be configured such that in the locking position the reference ring is stretched over the stop cam against pretensioner elevations formed on the inner circumferential surface approximately opposite the stop cam.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist eine radiale Aussparung in die Innenumfangsfläche etwa zwischen den Bajonettnocken und dem Auflagezapfen eingebracht. In dieser ist ein länglicher sich etwa entlang eines Innendurchmessers der Innenumfangsfläche erstreckender Federhaken angeordnet. Im Bereich eines Bajonettnockens ragt ein Hakenabschnitt des Federhakens radial nach innen, auf den ein Abschnitt des Freischnitts des Referenzrings beim Verriegeln aufläuft.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a radial recess in the inner peripheral surface is introduced approximately between the bayonet cams and the support pin. In this an elongated spring hook is arranged approximately along an inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface extending. In the area of a bayonet cam, a hook portion of the spring hook projects radially inwardly, on which a portion of the free-cutting of the reference ring runs when locking.
Mit Vorteil ist ein Federschaft des Federhakens derart ausgestaltet, dass dieser den Referenzring in der Verriegelungsposition gegen die an der Innenumfangsfläche etwa gegenüberliegend des Federhakens ausgebildete Vorspannerhöhungen spannt.Advantageously, a spring shaft of the spring hook is designed such that it biases the reference ring in the locking position against the formed on the inner peripheral surface approximately opposite the spring hook Vorspannerhöhungen.
Wie bereits erwähnt, erübrigen sich bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lampeneinheit die Zusatzbauteile zur Lagefixierung der Lampe im Reflektor - soll eine erfindungsgemäße Lampe jedoch in einen herkömmlichen Reflektor eingesetzt werden, so kann diese in herkömmlicher Weise mit zusätzlichen Radialzapfen zur Abstützung der Zusatzbauteile ausgeführt werden. Diese Variante ist dann wahlweise in herkömmlichen Fassungen als auch in erfindungsgemäßen Fassungen verwendbar.As already mentioned, the additional components for fixing the position of the lamp in the reflector are unnecessary in the lamp unit according to the invention - should a lamp according to the invention, however, be used in a conventional reflector, this can be carried out in a conventional manner with additional radial pins for supporting the additional components. This variant is then optionally used in conventional versions as well as in versions according to the invention.
Bei einem einfach ausgeführten Ausführungsbeispiel mit optimaler Fixierung der Lampe im Reflektor sind drei Bajonettnocken an der Fassung des Reflektors und drei Freischnitte am Referenzring der Lampe ausgeführt. Prinzipiell könnten auch in kinematischer Umkehr bzw. nach dem Umkehrprinzip die Freischnitte an der Fassung des Reflektors und die Bajonettnocken am Sockel ausgeführt werden.In a simple embodiment with optimal fixation of the lamp in the reflector three bayonet cams on the version of the reflector and three free cuts are made on the reference ring of the lamp. In principle, the cutouts on the socket of the reflector and the bayonet cams on the base could also be executed in kinematic reversal or according to the reversal principle.
Bei einem einfach ausgeführten Ausführungsbeispiel erstrecken sich die Freischnitte bis etwa zum Außenumfang einer Sockelhülse, von der der Referenzring radial vorspringt.In a simple embodiment, the free cuts extend approximately to the outer circumference of a base sleeve from which the reference ring projects radially.
Gemäß einer Variante der Erfindung sind die Freischnitte in etwa rechteckförmig ausgeführt.According to a variant of the invention, the free cuts are made approximately rectangular.
Bevorzugter Weise werden drei Referenznoppen und drei Auflagezapfen vorgesehen, um die stirnseitige Positionierung der Lampe im Reflektor zu gewährleisten.Preferably, three reference knobs and three support pins are provided to ensure the frontal positioning of the lamp in the reflector.
