Definitions
- the present invention relates to a projector equipped with retractable lighting module and more particularly independently retractable modules.
- the document US4943895 describes a mechanical device that makes it possible to control the successive movement of two light sources opposite a dedicated opening in the front of the vehicle in order to project either a high intensity light beam. a light beam of low intensity.
- the mechanical device having a set of links allows angular rotation of the projector in the inactive position in a cavity below the high intensity projector that can be active. Conversely, when the low intensity projector is in a position to be active, the high intensity projector is placed in a cavity above.
- the projectors are in the form of housings covered with a stylized ice with multiple curvatures. These projectors include all the bulbs necessary for the lighting of the vehicle. Therefore, these projectors are awesome and bulky.
- the housing in the front panel must be important to receive it and legs are provided on the casing of the housing to fix it on the vehicle structure. access bulbs at the back of the projector housing is not easy, sometimes you need to remove some elements to access the defective bulbs.
- the present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a projector with retractable modules mounted in parallel.
- the invention proposes a projector equipped with retractable lighting module facing an opening of the facade of a vehicle comprising at least two modules, the modules comprising mechanical means for placing them opposite the opening the facade, in their deployed positions to emit a light beam and, to make them invisible, in their retracted positions when they are not used.
- the modules are operable independently of one another.
- the modules have an angular rotation of 90 degrees.
- the modules are placed in a cavity of the structure.
- the modules are mounted on digital servo motors.
- the modules are mounted via digital servo motors on a pre-cut platen.
- the digital servo motors are mounted at the front edge of a light or a hook of the plate.
- the plate is a pre-cut plate adaptable to the upper part of the cavity.
- the modules have an arm allowing their attachment to the axis of the servo motors by a quick coupling system.
- FIG 1 shows a perspective view of the arrangement of a projector equipped with retractable modules in active position according to the invention
- FIG 2 shows a perspective view of the arrangement of a projector equipped with retractable modules in the inactive position according to the invention
- FIG 3 shows a profile view in section of a projector equipped with a retractable module in active position according to the invention
- FIG. 4 shows a profile view in section of a headlamp equipped with a retractable module in an inactive position according to the invention
- FIG 5 shows a perspective view showing the attachment of the modules on a plate intended to be mounted above the cavity in which the modules are placed in the active position.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the arrangement of a projector 1 with retractable modules 2 in the deployed position according to the invention.
- the projector 1 is in the form of a stylized opening 3 made in the body 5 of the vehicle, extended inwardly by a cavity 4 in which the retractable modules 2 are mounted.
- the four modules 2 are in the deployed position, that is to say they are able to emit if necessary a light source.
- the cavity 4 comes directly from the material with the structure of the vehicle.
- the components of the projector 1 are therefore assembled directly into the cavity 4 provided for this purpose on the front of the vehicle.
- the view shows four modules 2 arranged side by side, obviously this number is not limiting.
- one or more modules 2 can be placed in the deployed position, the others remaining in the retracted position.
- a protective screen 6 can be placed on the opening 3. Stylized rods 7 or specific patterns can be reproduced on the screen 6.
- FIG 2 shows a perspective view of the arrangement of a projector 1 equipped with retractable modules 2 (visible in Figure 1) in retracted position according to the invention.
- This view shows the stylized opening 3, extended inwards by a cavity 4 in which the retractable modules 2 are mounted in the retracted position, that is to say that they are not visible because they have been retracted by rotation. in a housing above the cavity 4. Therefore, through the opening 3, no module 2 is visible, however the bottom of the cavity 4 can receive a mood lighting, for example it could be an acronym or a backlit signature.
- FIG. 3 shows a profile view in section of a projector 1 equipped with a retractable module 2 in the deployed position according to the invention.
- the opening 3 of the cavity 4 is closed by a protective screen 6 to prevent the cavity 4 receiving the module in the deployed position is soiled by weather or other projectiles.
- the cavity 4 has a housing 8 in its upper zone to receive the module 2 in the retracted position.
- the cavity 4 and the housing 8 are directly made in the structure 9 of the vehicle which can result from the assembly of several structural elements 9.
- Mechanical means 15 allows the rotation of the module 2 along an angular trajectory of 90 degrees, in the case of the invention, the mechanical means are constituted by a servo motor 15.
- the module 2 is a compact element whose light source is emitted by a power diode.
- the module 2 consists of a housing 10 having zones on the side 11 provided on its front face with a window 12 enveloping the open areas of the housing 10, the housing 10 has on its upper part an arm 13 disposed perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis 14 of the module 2.
- the free end of the arm 13 has a bore 13a which allows its attachment to the axis 15a of the servo motor 15 itself mounted on a plate 16 assembled on a development of the structure 9 of the cavity 4.
- the initial adjustment of the position of the arm 13 is performed by the screw system 17.
- the lens 12 of the module 2 In its deployed position, the lens 12 of the module 2 is opposite the opening 3 of the cavity 4 and if necessary, emit a light beam that performs the function of low beam or high beam.
- Figure 4 shows a sectional side view of a projector 1 equipped with a retractable module 2 in retracted position according to the invention.
- the module 2 in the retracted position rotates in the counter-clockwise direction by an angular rotation of 90 degrees according to the arrow 18, in fact the longitudinal axis 14 of the module 2 is vertical and the module 2 occupies the housing 8 above the cavity 4.
- the curved zone 4a of the cavity 4 opposite the opening 3 may comprise a light source producing a backlight 25 in order to create a specific light signature.
- Figure 5 shows a perspective view showing the attachment of the modules 2 on a plate 16 to be mounted above the cavity 4 (not visible) in which the modules 2 are installed in the deployed position.
- the plate 16 is assembled on an arrangement of the structure 9 (not visible) of the cavity 4 (not visible) by appropriate means for example by clipping or assembly.
- the plate 16 in the form of a flat plate 20 pre-cut to fit the upper section of the cavity 4.
- the front edge is curved so as to adapt to the stylistic profile of the structure (not visible) of the body.
- the plate 16 has slots 19 of substantially rectangular shape to allow the passage of the housings 10 of the modules 2 in the retracted position. In the retracted position, the modules 2 have their housings above the plate 16 while the ice 12 is below.
- the module 2 fixed on a hook 21 of the side edge 23 retracts to the outside of said side edge 22 of the plate 16.
- the digital servo motor 15 is removably attached to the front edge 22 of the rectangular opening and the hook 23 of the side edge 23.
- the modules 2 are fixed by the bore 14 of the arm 13 on an axis 15a of the servo motor 15, so as to be easily removable.
- the plate 16 shown has three modules 2 but this number is in no way limiting, depending on the lighting scenario chosen for the vehicle, the number of modules 2 may vary depending on the needs.
- the modules are placed side by side offset longitudinally along the profile of the front curve 25 of the plate 16. They could also be offset in height depending on the desired stylistic effect.
