Definitions

  • the invention relates to a light module for a lighting device according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular for a motor vehicle.
  • Such light modules are used in motor vehicle headlamps as a high beam module use.
  • each LED light source module includes one or more LEDs that can emit source light segments.
  • Each LED light source module also includes a primary optics element for focusing the light emitted by the LEDs.
  • each LED light source module has a secondary optics, by means of which the light segments generated by the primary optics elements can be imaged in a region located in front of the vehicle.
  • the at least two LED light source modules are arranged in such a way to each other in a motor vehicle headlight that the source light segments from the individual LED light source modules are projected offset in the horizontal direction to each other. Therefore, several Light modules combined in a spotlight.
  • the LED light sources of the individual LED light source modules can be controlled independently. To prevent dazzling of an oncoming vehicle then individual light sources can be hidden.
  • JP 2010132170 An alternative approach is in the JP 2010132170 described.
  • This shows motor vehicle headlights, which each produce Abstrahllichtver notoriousen with multiple, adjacent strip-shaped Abstrahllichtsegmenten.
  • the light sources of a headlamp are controlled such that individual strip-shaped Abstrahllichtsegmente can be hidden in order to prevent the glare of oncoming traffic targeted.
  • In order to produce the desired homogeneous emission light distribution is in the JP 2010132170 proposed to arrange two such headlights spaced from each other on a motor vehicle, so that superimpose the individual Abstrahllichtsegmente to the Abstrahllichtverander.
  • a light module having the features of the preamble of claim 1 is in DE 10 2008 036 194 A1 described.
  • the known solutions have the problem that in order to provide a homogeneous emission light distribution and to enable a glare-free high beam multiple headlights, or at least several light modules are combined with each other and must be coordinated. This requires a complex tuning and adjustment of the individual components, which can lead to high production costs. Moreover, it is problematic in such complex arrangements more Light functions such as side lighting, daytime running lights, flashing lights or a dipped beam or a dimmed light distribution to integrate.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a high beam with homogeneous Abstrahllichtver Irish one hand and anti-glare function for oncoming traffic on the other hand in a simple and cost-effective manner.
  • more light functions such as a dimmed light distribution should be able to be integrated in a simple and cost-effective manner.
  • the first and the second primary optics devices are designed in such a way that each LED (light-emitting diode) can be imaged in an associated real intermediate image in an intermediate image area, and in each case an intermediate image assigned to the first semiconductor light source is associated with at least one of the second semiconductor light source Intermediate image in the intermediate image area overlaps.
  • the secondary optics device is as common secondary optics for the first and the second primary optics formed and arranged such that the first and the second semiconductor light source associated intermediate images of LEDs that emit a source light segment can be projected as each associated Abstrahllichtsegmente the Abstrahllichtverander.
  • the light module according to the invention therefore, two or more semiconductor light sources are combined, each with an associated primary optics device.
  • a large radiated light intensity can be generated.
  • only one secondary optics device is required, which jointly serves for the projection of intermediate images assigned to the first, the second and any further semiconductor light sources.
  • the secondary optics need not be capable of producing an optical image. Rather, it is sufficient if the intermediate images for generating a Abstrahllichtver Irish can be projected in a main emission (for example, in the case of a car headlamp in the vehicle apron or as a collimated light beam to produce a high beam).
  • the secondary optics device may also be designed as a projection lens or comprise such.
  • the overlapping emission light segments of the emission light distribution are respectively assigned to intermediate images of LEDs (which emit an associated source light segment) due. These intermediate images are generated by the primary optics device. If an adjustment of the alignment of semiconductor light sources and / or primary optics devices is required to produce a desired, in particular homogeneous, emission light distribution, this can be done easily within the light module in the light module according to the invention. Unlike the known solutions for generating said Abstrahllichtvertechniken it is therefore not necessary to align different light modules or even different headlights matched. Thus, in the production of the light module module-specific, a constructive solution for adjusting the semiconductor light sources and / or the primary optics can be provided.
  • the light module is independent of the design of a headlight housing in which, for example, several light modules can be installed.
  • the light modules according to the invention can be used in a variety of different headlights and for a variety of different housing shapes. This simplifies the design effort for such headlights.
  • the light module according to the invention therefore allows flexible design solutions.
  • a homogeneous emission light distribution can be generated with the light module according to the invention.
  • homogeneous does not necessarily mean that the illuminated area is the same everywhere. Rather, the Abstrahllichtver Minor may have areas of different brightness, provided that transitions between these areas are so steady that disturbing light effects are avoided. Apart from The targeted suppression of individual Abstrahllichtsegmente to realize a glare-free high beam sharp transitions or remote strip-shaped areas of different brightness are to be avoided. Also, the emission light distribution (viewed in an observation plane) should not be "spotty".
  • the primary optics are implemented as imaging optical devices which can generate real intermediate images of the source light segments in the intermediate image area.
  • the intermediate image surface does not have to be designed as a flat surface. Simple imaging principles, however, arise when the primary optics device is designed such that an intermediate image plane is defined in the sense of the beam optics.
  • a light segment (source light segment, emission light segment) is understood in each case to be a subarea of a light distribution (source light distribution, intermediate light distribution, emission light distribution), which is attributable to a specific LED.
  • the first and the second semiconductor light source are designed such that individual LEDs of the first and the second semiconductor light source are each independently controllable for emitting light.
  • the said semiconductor light sources or the mentioned LEDs are designed to be switched on and off independently of each other.
  • An LED which emits a source light segment, is assigned an intermediate light segment in the intermediate image area.
  • the associated intermediate light segment in the intermediate image area is also hidden, i. the respective intermediate image becomes dark. This leads to the respectively associated Abstrahllichtsegmente be hidden in the Abstrahllichtver notorious targeted. If, for example, a high-beam distribution of a motor vehicle headlight with a light module according to the invention is considered, then by switching off one or more LEDs, precisely those beam segments which could lead to dazzling oncoming traffic can be hidden.

  • the first and the second primary optics device are respectively designed such that the intermediate images assigned to the first semiconductor light source are shifted in a horizontal direction relative to the intermediate images assigned to the second semiconductor light source.
  • the horizontal direction denotes a direction parallel to the road plane. Due to the above-mentioned arrangement, vertically extending dark stripes are avoided in the emission light distribution, since the overlapping intermediate images in the intermediate image area result in an almost homogeneously illuminated region. This area is projected by the secondary optics device into a homogeneous emission light distribution.
  • the first and the second primary optics device are designed such that the intermediate images assigned to the first semiconductor light source are also displaced in a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction relative to the intermediate images assigned to the second semiconductor light source.
