Definitions

  • the present invention relates to lighting and / or signaling devices, including headlights and rear lights of motor vehicles.
  • incandescent lamps in the front projectors causes a very rapid evaporation of the water droplets formed on the ice, thanks to the heat release produced by these lamps.
  • the present invention aims to remedy this drawback and, in particular, to prevent the formation of droplets and frost on the ice of a lighting and / or signaling device, for example mounted on a motor vehicle.
  • the primer particles emitted and the particles of dust and / or water floating inside the internal volume of the lighting and / or signaling device attract each other to then combine them.
  • a primer particle is associated with one or more particles of dust or water
  • the heavier aggregate of particles thus formed is drawn downwards by the effect of gravity.
  • the dust particles and the water particles present in the air are removed by gravity inside the internal volume of the lighting and / or signaling device, thereby drying out the indoor air and prevents the formation of droplets on the face of the ice facing the internal volume, whatever the temperature of the indoor air.
  • the primer particles emitted are positive and / or negative ions.
  • the transmission means can advantageously be mounted on a portion bottom of said rear background.
  • the lower portion of the rear background comprising the emission means is preferably arranged below the light source, in order to prevent, or at least limit, an accumulation of water particles on the support on which is mounted the light source.
  • the device comprising a reflector interposed between the transparent element and the housing
  • the transmission means are advantageously arranged behind the reflector, between the latter and the housing, to prevent the formation of a fog in front of the emitted light beam by the light source.
  • the reflector splits the internal volume in two to define a front sub-volume and a rear sub-volume in communication with each other, the transmitting means being disposed within said rear sub-volume. .
  • the evacuation means are arranged in the lower rear part of the housing.
  • said device comprises a reservoir in communication with the evacuation means, which is intended to collect the particles of dust and / or water associated with the primer particles.
  • the evacuation means advantageously comprise at least one opening formed in one of the walls of the housing, which can be closed by a breathable membrane (16), for example of the GORE TEX (registered trademark) type, able to let the water particles associated with the seed particles from the internal volume to the outside thereof.
  • a breathable membrane (16) for example of the GORE TEX (registered trademark) type, able to let the water particles associated with the seed particles from the internal volume to the outside thereof.
  • the present invention also relates to a motor vehicle which comprises at least one lighting and / or signaling device as described above.
  • primer particle emission means are preferably activated at least during a part of stopping the operation of said vehicle.
  • the figure 1 shows, in a schematic cross section, an example of lighting and / or signaling device according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 Diagrammatically a lighting and / or signaling device before 1 of a motor vehicle (hereinafter referred to as a front projector) according to the present invention.
  • the present invention is not limited to front headlamps, but also applies to motor vehicle taillights and, more generally, to any device capable of emitting light in which the formation of condensation can be observed.
  • the front projector 1 comprises a housing 2 (also referred to as “rear block” or “optical block”) which serves in particular as a support part on which are in particular mechanically reported one or more light sources 3 (only one is represented on the figure 1 ), a reflector 4 and a mask 5.
  • the housing 2 also connects the front projector 1 to the vehicle (not shown).
  • the housing 2 comprises a plurality of attachment points (which are associated for example threads) to ensure a stable mechanical connection with the vehicle.
  • the housing 2 which has the general shape of a bowl, comprises a rear base 6 and a peripheral strip 7, of which only the upper parts 7A and 7B lower are visible on the figure 1 .
  • the peripheral strip 7 extends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the rear base 6.
  • the projector 1 further comprises a transparent element 8 through which one or more beams of the light source 3 pass to illuminate the route taken by the vehicle.
  • a transparent element 8 is transparent in that it allows the passage of at least 75% of the luminous flux of the light rays emitted by the light source 3 which reaches it. In other words, the transparent element 8 degrades the photometric function of the light source 3 by at most 25%.
  • the front projector 1 comprises a single light source 3.
  • the front projector 1 comprises a single light source 3.
  • the light source 3 is mounted on a support 10 formed, for example, by a printed circuit.
  • the reflector 4 in the form of a shell, at the bottom of which the light source 3 is arranged, makes it possible to direct the light rays emitted by the latter towards the transparent element 8.
  • a diopter 11, for example a lens, is furthermore arranged in front of the light source 3, so as to focus, around a given direction, the multitude of light rays emitted by it.
  • the front projector 1 also comprises an ionization device 12 for emitting, in the internal volume Vi, positive and / or negative ions 13 capable of associating with dust particles and / or water particles (no represented) in suspension in the internal volume Vi.
  • the ionization device 12 is attached to the rear base 6 of the housing 2.
  • it is advantageously mounted on the lower portion 6A of the rear base 6, below the support 10 of the light source 3.
  • the ionization device 12 could alternatively be fixed on the portion upper 6B rear end 6.
  • the ionization device 12 is thus housed inside the rear sub-volume Vs2.
  • the ions are combined in particular with the water particles suspended in the air inside the internal volume Vi of the projector 1, each ion being able to associate with one or more particles of water according to its nature.
  • the ion-water particle aggregates thus formed are attracted to the lower part 7B of the peripheral strip 7 under the effect of the gravitational force.
  • the air present inside the volume Vi is thus dried, which prevents the appearance of a condensation layer on the transparent element 2, regardless of the temperature difference between the indoor air and the air outside.
  • the arrangement of the ionization device 12 in the lower portion 6A of the rear bottom 6 of the housing 2 makes it possible to confine the emission of the particles in the rear sub-volume Vs2 and to limit the emission of the particles into the sub-volume. volume before Vs1, which could degrade the efficiency of the light source 3.
  • the device can be associated with vents by means of baffles to ensure drying of the air arriving ventilation and entering the lighting device and or signaling, to limit the increase of the humidity level in it.
  • such an arrangement of the ionization device 12 makes it possible to limit the deposition, by gravity, of ion-particle aggregates of water or dust on the support 10 of the light-sensitive light source 3, these aggregates forming essentially in the vicinity of the ionization arrangement 12.
  • the ion emitting means 12 when stopping the operation of the vehicle, either for a predetermined duration or during the entire absence of operation of the vehicle.
  • appropriate means for controlling the ion-emitting means 12 may be provided. It goes without saying that an implementation of the ion emission means during the operation of the vehicle is also possible.
  • the projector 1 also comprises means 14 for discharging outside the internal volume Vi the particles of dust and / or water agglomerated with the ions 13.
  • the evacuation means 14 are arranged in the rear part of the projector 1 in the vicinity of the ionization device 13. They are in the form of an opening 15 (for example a slot extending over a part of the width of the projector 1) which is provided in the lower part 7B of the peripheral strip 7.
  • a breathable membrane 16 for example of GORE TEX type, capable of passing the aggregates formed of ions and water particles associated with the internal sub-volume Vs2 towards the outside (the arrow F symbolizing the displacement of the aggregates formed).
  • the front projector 1 advantageously comprises a removable reservoir 17 connected to the evacuation means 14 and adapted to receive the dust particles and / or water associated with the ions 13. In this way, the reservoir 17 can be emptied, once its maximum filling level is reached.
  • the transmitting means could emit silver iodide particles, so as to dry the air inside the volume Vi of the projector before 1 in a manner similar to that presented for the In the latter case, the transmitting means could be in the form of diffusion means.
