Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of vehicle optical blocks comprising a ventilation channel, and more specifically optical block housings through which passes one or more ventilation channels.
- the ventilation channel decreases the condensation of water or moisture in the optical unit and in particular on the rear face of its outer ice.
- the ventilation channel often requires the addition of one or more parts at the optical block housing, increasing the complexity and or bulk of the optical unit.
- a ventilation channel between the inside and outside of a vehicle optical block housing comprising on the one hand a baffle passing through the outside of a seal and on the other hand a protruding roof (element 10 in the figures) for protecting this baffle against the water flows.
- a disadvantage of this prior art is to require on the one hand a baffle in the ventilation channel and on the other hand especially an additional piece of protection of this baffle in the form of a protruding roof, additional piece making the shape of the rear face of the optical block housing more specific and more complex, and more cumbersome.
- the aim of the invention is to implement a ventilation channel in a simpler and less cumbersome way by using the gasket located around a protuberance of the rear face of the optical block housing, such as the gasket surrounding a pion d indexing the optical unit box on the vehicle.
- An indexing pin is a protrusion for positioning the optical block housing relative to the vehicle wall on which the housing is supported.
- the ventilation channel passes through an opening made inside the seal, and not on the side of the seal as in the prior art, or even at what could also be a notch on the outside of the seal.
- the protective protruding roof of the baffle of the ventilation channel is dispensed with, and the chicane itself is rendered unnecessary or superfluous.
- a vehicle optical unit housing comprising a ventilation channel between the inside and the outside of the housing and an indexing pin seal of the housing on the vehicle, characterized in that that the ventilation channel passes through an opening made inside the seal. More generally, there is also provided a vehicle optical unit housing comprising a ventilation channel between the inside and the outside of the housing and a seal of an opening in the wall of the housing, characterized in that that the ventilation channel passes through an opening made inside the seal.
- a vehicle optical block housing comprising: a front face for receiving an optical block ice; a rear face for attachment to a vehicle wall, comprising an indexing pin of the housing on the wall and a seal surrounding the indexing pin so as to seal the space around the indexing pin relative to the rest of the gap between the housing and the wall; a ventilation channel between the front-facing space of the housing and the rear-facing space of the casing; characterized in that the ventilation channel passes through an opening made inside the seal.
- the opening crosses the joint.
- the opening may include one or more holes.
- the contour of the opening made inside the seal is surrounded by material constituting seal.
- the seal is for example rubber or other elastic and waterproof material. The opening allows the passage of the ventilation channel after mounting the optical unit on the vehicle, that is to say even after compression of the seal between the rear face of the optical block housing and the vehicle wall against which this back side of the housing of the optical unit is supported.
- the seal is a seal surrounding the indexing pin and sealing only the opening of the housing located at the indexing pin, or at least a geographically limited area around the indexing pin. It is therefore not a large seal that would go all the way around the back of the case by sealing all the openings that would include the case face, because this large seal would be significantly more complex and expensive and could be very risky to be finally less robust, especially over time.
- the seal has at its opening or apertures, an opening portion or an opening which goes around the indexing pin while remaining in contact with the indexing pin on more than half of its periphery and preferably over almost its entire periphery, for example over more than 90% of its periphery. Not to circumnavigate all around the periphery still has the advantage of being able to use a single opening in the joint to realize both the entourage of the indexing pin and the free passage for the channel. ventilation.
- the indexing pin passes through the seal.
- the indexing peg is any index protrusion, whether it has a simple pointed shape or a more complex shape comprising for example several points.
- the indexing pin is a centering element. It is preferably a simple indexing tip.
- the seal is a perforated washer.
- the seal has a great simplicity of manufacture and installation, with minimal additional cost, compared to a conventional seal not crossed by a ventilation channel, and a minimized space and as low or almost as low as a conventional gasket not traversed by a ventilation channel.
- the seal performing the ventilation channel passage function remains usable for another similar indexing pin, but without passage of ventilation channel. This decreases the number of references for the seals of the optical unit.
- the indexing pin is surrounded by a flange.
- the flange is arranged so as to be able to come crush the seal against the wall of the vehicle against which the optical block housing rests.
- the ventilation channel passes through this hole or holes.
- the ventilation channel does not include a baffle at the crossing of the wall of the housing.
- an increased simplicity of the wall of the housing is obtained at the area of the indexing pin.
- the seal comprises several openings located on either side of the indexing pin. The tolerance to the angular offset of the seal around the indexing pin during its assembly is then greater.
- the invention also relates to an optical unit incorporating an optical block housing according to the invention.
- the invention also relates to an optical unit comprising a housing according to the invention, this housing being closed by an external mirror, at least one light source being disposed on the one hand inside the space delimited by the housing and on the other. the outer ice and secondly in the central part of the rear face of the housing.
- the optical unit can be a projector, located at the front of the vehicle, or a light, located at the rear of the vehicle.
- the rear face of the housing is the face of the housing which is opposite to the outer mirror of the optical block located at the front of the optical unit.
- the front and rear terms are given with respect to the optical unit, its front part being turned towards the outside of the vehicle, its rear part being turned towards the interior of the vehicle, and not with respect to the vehicle, because if there is match for a projector, there is inversion for a fire.
- said indexing pin at which the ventilation channel passes through the housing is located at the periphery of the rear face of the housing.
- This indexing pin is therefore remote from the light source or sources of the optical block located in the central portion of the rear face of the housing.
- This indexing pin is located on one or other of the wings of the optical block. At one wing of the optical block, there is less ventilation, because it is a cold zone, since far from the light source or sources, and there is only a small volume available inside. of the housing there, because the wing is thinner than the central part of the optical block.
- the hole in the wall of the optical block housing at the indexing pin is located behind a mask making it invisible from outside the optical block, for a vehicle user looking at the ice of the optical unit.
- the housing of the optical unit can be crossed by one or more other ventilation channels, possibly more conventional structure.
- the invention also relates to a vehicle comprising an optical block housing according to the invention or an optical block according to the invention.
- the space which is situated at the rear of the vehicle wall against which the rear face of the optical block housing rests and into which the ventilation channel opens from inside the optical block housing is preferentially a moisture-proof space or, advantageously, a space which, if it is not impermeable to moisture, prevents at least the water flows and the water splashes from entering the ventilation channel in order to arrive by this path inside the optical block housing.
- the optical block housing rests on a vehicle wall through which the indexing stud extends and behind which there is a hollow body inside the vehicle.
- This hollow body by its disposition, is less subject to water flows or splashing, which makes it possible to open the ventilation channel without protection or special arrangement, while eliminating or at least greatly limiting the risks of introduction of water or moisture inside the optical block housing, which would otherwise cause condensation on the outer glass of the optical unit on the one hand unsightly and, in the extreme, annoying for the photometry of the optical block.
- a vehicle includes a truck, a car, a bus.
- a vehicle is preferably a motor vehicle, preferably terrestrial.
- a vehicle is preferably a car.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically an exploded view of an example of an optical block box arrangement coming to rest on a vehicle wall
- FIG. 2 shows schematically a front view of the rear face of an optical block housing according to the invention, with integration of the seal surrounding the indexing pin of the optical block housing on the vehicle wall;
- FIG. 3 diagrammatically represents a profile view corresponding to a section AA with respect to FIG. 2.
- the directions and the front and rear sides are given with respect to the optical unit and not with respect to the vehicle.
- the front side of the optical block is the side facing the outside of the vehicle, so visible to a user looking at the optical unit from outside the vehicle.
- the rear side of the optical unit is the side facing the vehicle interior, so invisible to a user looking at the optical unit from outside the vehicle.
- FIG. 1 schematically represents an exploded view of an example of an optical block box arrangement coming to rest on a vehicle wall.
- the rear face 1 of the optical block housing will come to bear on the vehicle wall 3, compressing the seal 2 between the rear face 1 of the housing and the vehicle wall 3.
- the rear face 1 of the housing comprises an indexing pin 10, for example in the form of a cross, surrounded by a collar 11 which is the element which will come into contact with the periphery of the seal 2 to compress it against the vehicle wall 3.
- the rear face 1 of the housing is pierced with two holes 12 and 13 arranged between the indexing pin 10 and the flange 11.
- the ventilation channel between the inside and the outside of the optical block housing passes through the rear face 1 through the holes 12 and 13.
- the seal 2 comprises an opening 20 through which will pass the ventilation channel. More precisely, the holes 22 and 23 of the opening 20 will be at least partially facing holes 12 and 13 of the rear face 1 of the housing.
- the central opening 21, for example in the form of a cross, will surround the indexing pin 10 by being in contact over most of its periphery, with the exception of the ends of two branches of the cross shape.
- the indexing pin 10 will come through the central opening 21 to go through the opening 30 of the vehicle wall 3.
- the indexing pin 10 will be able to play its role of relative positioning and relative movement limitation between on the one hand the rear face 1 of the housing and on the other hand the vehicle wall 3 against which will come to rest this rear face 1 of housing.
- Figure 2 schematically shows a front view of the rear face of an optical block housing according to the invention, with integration of the seal surrounding the indexing pin of the optical block housing on the vehicle wall.
- the seal 2 is placed around the indexing point 10. Only the peripheral portion 24 of the seal 2, located around the central portion 25 of the seal, is compressed by the pressure exerted by the flange 11 of the rear face 1 of the housing, flange 11 which is here hidden by the peripheral portion 24 of the seal 2.
- the central opening 21 of the seal 2 surrounds the indexing pin 10 in the shape of its shape crossed.
- the holes 12 and 13 of the rear face 1 of the housing are, respectively only partially, facing the holes 22 and 23 of the seal so as to maintain two free passages through which the ventilation channel between the inside and outside of the housing.
- the set including holes 22 and 23 represents the opening 20 made inside the seal 2, opening 20 through which the ventilation channel passes.
- FIG. 3 diagrammatically represents a profile view corresponding to a section AA with respect to FIG. 2.
- the crossing of the opening 20 of the seal 2 and the opening 30 of the vehicle wall 3 is clearly visible, and the compression of the seal 2 by the collar 11 of the rear face 1 of the housing.
- the ventilation channel 4 through which air can pass from the inside of the housing to the outside of the housing and vice versa.
- the space 5 situated between the indexing pin 10 and the flange 11 is sealed with respect to the remainder 6 of the gap between the rear face 1 of the housing and the wall 3 of the vehicle against which this rear face 1 relies. thanks to the arrangement of the seal 2 and its opening 20 through which the ventilation duct 4 passes.
- L 7 represents the interior of the housing
- the space 8 located behind the vehicle wall 3 represents the outside of the housing, inside and outside connected by the ventilation channel 4.
- This space 8 is advantageously a sealed hollow body compared to the outside the vehicle, it is at least preferably a space 8, the arrangement of which does not allow water flows or splash water to pass from the outer space 8 to the interior space 7 by taking the ventilation channel 4.
