Definitions

  • the invention relates to lighting and / or signaling devices for motor vehicles.
  • Document is known FR-2,849,156 a headlamp capable of producing a road beam or daylight-type beam, using the same light source and the same lens.
  • the source is formed by a filament lamp or a discharge lamp.
  • the projector is provided with a filter mounted movably between a position in which it intercepts the light rays of the source and a position in which it leaves them free. We thus obtain two different beams by means of the same optical unit.
  • An object of the invention is to produce two types of beams by means of a device without resorting to such a mechanism for the passage from one beam to another.
  • the source ignition configuration for example, igniting a source, or the other, or both
  • the beam produced by the module is determined.
  • At least one of the light sources has a light emission axis, this axis passing through the lens.
  • At least one of the light sources is arranged in such a way that the beam that it emits enters directly into the lens.
  • At least one of the sources is located at a focal point of the lens.
  • the lens has a line of foci on which the sources are located.
  • the lens has a light exit face having an elliptical shaped section in at least one vertical plane.
  • the ellipse by having one or more sources in the vicinity of one of the homes the ellipse, it promotes the output of light rays of the lens in horizontal planes.
  • the lens has a light exit face having an elliptical shaped section in several vertical planes parallel to each other.
  • the module is arranged to produce by means of the lens a beam capable of constituting part of a regulatory cut-off beam.
  • the module is arranged to produce the beam capable of constituting part of a regulatory cut-off beam by means of one of the sources, the other source or sources being extinguished.
  • the module is arranged to produce, by means of the lens, a beam capable of constituting a portion, in particular the whole, of a regulatory beam that does not have a cutoff, notably a beam of the daylighting type.
  • the module is arranged to produce a single beam by all sources.
  • it is arranged to produce by means of the lens two different lighting beams.
  • one of the beams is able to constitute a part of a cut-off beam, for example a passing beam, a driving beam or a fog beam.
  • one of the beams does not present a cut and forms for example a daylight-type beam or DRL (Daytime Running Light).
  • DRL Daytime Running Light
  • the module comprises means for choosing a power supply voltage of at least one of the sources between two non-zero values.
  • this source It is thus possible to feed this source with a relatively high voltage when this source is used without the others being lit or is used with a reduced number of other sources. Conversely, when this source is used with all other sources or with a large number of sources, one can reduce its supply voltage to obtain a better distribution of light.
  • the module comprises a cover capable of forming a cut in a beam produced by means of the lens.
  • the lenses are two in number and each capable of producing a beam.
  • They can be formed in one piece with each other or in the form of separate pieces.
  • the sources, associated in own with the or each lens are at least three in number.
  • a lighting device and / or vehicle signaling which comprises a first optical module according to the invention.
  • the device further comprises at least a second module arranged to produce a beam completing a beam produced by means of the first module to form a cut-off beam.
  • the device forms a lighting device, a signaling device or both at the same time.
  • the orthogonal coordinate system X, Y, Z in which the direction Z is vertical and the directions X and Y horizontally, the direction X being parallel to the direction of operation of the vehicle, is used hereinafter.
  • the device 2 comprises a base module which comprises a single lens 4 and light sources formed by LEDs 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16.
  • the LEDs are here six in number but this number is not limiting. It could be two, three, four, five or even more than six.
  • the lens has two median planes of symmetry parallel to the X and Y directions respectively and to the X and Z directions
  • the lens has a vertical front face 20 which has an elliptical shape in the vertical sections taken in planes parallel to the X and Z directions, as shown in figure 1 . That 22 of the two foci of the ellipse that is closest to the face 20 is located on the face 18.
  • the lens thus comprises a line of foci parallel to the Y direction and located in its median horizontal plane.
  • This elliptical shape which is the same in all sections, is based on a curve that forms the section of the lens in its median horizontal plane.
  • This section can be given various shapes depending on the beams to be produced by the device. This is a parabolic form. But it could also be an elliptical shape.
  • the elliptical shape of the vertical section makes it possible to orient the light rays emerging from the lens in horizontal planes or to give them a slightly inclined direction relative to the horizontal direction.
  • All the sources are aligned along a line coinciding with the line of the foci and inscribed in the face 18.
  • Each of the sources is therefore located at the aforementioned focus of the corresponding vertical section of the face 20. All have their emitting face in surface contact with the face 18 so that the latter receives light from each of the LEDs.
  • the source 10 is located on the optical axis 7.
  • the two sources 6 and 8 are located in the left part of the lens while the other three sources 12, 14 and 16 are located in its right part. Other provisions of the sources are of course conceivable.
  • the basic module comprises control means 17 of the ignition of the led 10 and the control means 19 of the ignition of the other leds, common to them. So you can choose to turn on only the led 10, the other leds remaining off, or turn on all leds at the same time.
  • control means 17 are configured to allow the power supply voltage of the led 10 to be selected between two non-zero values different from each other.
  • the device 2 further comprises at least one complementary module 40 illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
  • This module is completely separate from the basic module. It comprises means for producing a beam of illumination independent of the beam produced by the base module. These means comprise for example at least one lens 42 and at least one light source 44 such as a led.
  • This module 40 has the function of producing a beam that completes the beam emitted by the base module to obtain the desired regulatory beam.
  • the basic module is able to produce two beams 26, 28, shown respectively in FIGS. Figures 5 and 6 as they appear on a vertical plane screen perpendicular to the X direction, arranged in front of the device.
  • the beam 26 is a flat or low type beam. It is observed that the device sends little or no light above the horizontal line representing the horizon and in particular no light in the part of this line which is close to the center of the marker. This beam is formed by lighting only the source 10, the other leds of the device being extinguished. The supply voltage of this source is then given its highest value.
  • the device is arranged so that the beam 26 of the base module and that of the complementary module 40 complement each other to form a cut-off beam.
  • This is for example a passing beam, a driving beam or a fog light.
  • one or more complementary modules 40 complete the beam 26 in the upper right portion of the screen.
  • one or more complementary modules 40 complete the beam 26 in upper left and right parts of the screen.
  • the fog beam is produced analogously.
  • the other beam 28 is in this case a beam that has no cut.
  • This is a daylight type beam. It is produced by simultaneously lighting all the leds of the basic module. It is observed that the beam extends as well below the horizontal axis representing the horizon line as above it, unlike the beam 26. The supply voltage of the source 10 is then given. its lowest value among the two non-zero values mentioned above.
  • This beam 28 is produced by means of the single basic module, without using the complementary module 40 which is off.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to give the central LED 10 a yield of for example between 60 and 70%, which is relatively high. It also makes it possible for the basic module to have substantially the same appearance for the observer, whether to produce a cut-off beam or a daylight-type beam.
  • a second embodiment of the device is illustrated in Figures 7 to 10 .
  • the device comprises not one but two lenses 4 distinct from each other but formed in one piece with each other in the present example.
  • the device also includes a group of LEDs associated with one of them. lenses 4 and another group of leds associated with the other lens 4. It thus includes two basic modules this time, each module comprising one of the lenses and one of the groups of LEDs.
  • Each base module is also configured in the same way as the basic module of the device of the Figures 1 to 4 . It includes in particular the same number of LEDs as the module of the first embodiment, this is not nevertheless an obligation.
  • These two basic modules, and in particular the two lenses, are arranged to produce alone respective beams 30 and 32 which may be different from each other and are illustrated in FIGS. Figures 8 and 9 .
  • the difference between the beams can be obtained in particular by giving the two lenses focal lengths different from each other.
