Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of light modules used for lighting and / or signaling of motor vehicles, and it applies more particularly to light modules comprising optical devices for the formation of different light beams, and in particular a beam said crossing and a so-called road beam.
  • Automotive headlamps usually consist of a housing that is closed by a transparent wall through which pass one or more light beams.
  • This housing houses at least one light module, mainly comprising a light source and an optical system configured to conform the light generated by the light source to provide specific lighting and / or vehicle signaling services.
  • the optical system may be configured to allow projection of the output beam of the beam at the exit of the projector, in particular to limit glare for drivers of vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.
  • the light module comprises at least one light source, a primary optical device positioned vis-à-vis the light source for guiding the light rays, a cache element that can form a light source. cutting off the light rays emitted in order to form a partial light beam that may not dazzle the thirds at the output of the projector, and a lens shaping these rays to form the light beam at the output of the projector.
  • the cache element is arranged on the path of the rays, away from the light source and that it is necessary to ensure the position of the latter in the long term so that the shape given to the rays for the so-called crossing light beam is stable in time.
  • additional light modules can be associated in the same projector to achieve a high beam function, capable of illuminating a road scene with a long range, when the risk of glare of third parties is not present.
  • additional light modules also include one or more light sources and a primary optical device associated with a shaping lens for the projection of the rays.
  • light modules in which these two functions are performed, the light sources and the primary optical devices to be arranged relative to each other to perform these different functions according to the ignition of the one and / or the other light sources.
  • First light sources are turned on when it is necessary to emit a first beam type dipped beam, and second light sources are lit in addition to emit a complementary beam to the first beam to form by combining the two beams a beam of traffic light type.
  • Such arrangements may involve the provision of primary optical devices, and / or cache elements, which have a distal end face remote from a light source supporting base. It is understood that the manufacturing sets of these primary optical devices, made in series, can generate a positioning defect. A manufacturing defect at the base of the primary optical device, and in particular where the base is going to be fixed to the support, can cause a bad positioning of the device and all the more so as the cantilever is tall. Furthermore, it has become apparent that the mechanical vibrations and the temperature variations to which the light module is exposed during its use can cause, over time, a variation in the more or less pronounced inclination of these primary optical devices with respect to the light source. This inclination has the disadvantage of modifying the area illuminated by the low beam, which can prove to be unpleasant or even dangerous for the drivers of vehicles traveling in reverse. It is then necessary to carry out a regular maintenance of the light module to correct this defect to prevent any accident.
  • the invention proposes to produce a light module comprising a primary optical device whose position is less likely to vary over time vis-à-vis the light source of the light module.
  • the invention relates to a light module for lighting and / or signaling of a motor vehicle, comprising a base supporting at a first face at least one light source emitting light rays. extending substantially along an optical axis perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first face, and a primary optical device comprising a receiving portion facing at least a portion of the light source and a face of ray output opposite to the receiving part.
  • a light module for lighting and / or signaling of a motor vehicle, comprising a base supporting at a first face at least one light source emitting light rays. extending substantially along an optical axis perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first face, and a primary optical device comprising a receiving portion facing at least a portion of the light source and a face of ray output opposite to the receiving part.
  • receiving part and “output face” is meant respectively the part of the primary optical device illuminated by the light source and the face of the primary optical device by which this light is emitted towards a
  • the light module according to the invention is remarkable in that it comprises at least one arm extending projecting from the first face of the base and maintaining the primary optical device at a holding zone situated between the part of the reception and the output face of the primary optical device. In this way, it is possible to limit or prevent the inclination of the primary optical device relative to the base and to ensure a reliable position of the primary optical device in the light module.
  • the invention also covers a motor vehicle headlamp comprising at least one light module as described herein, in its most limited form or comprising one or more of the features set forth above.
  • the longitudinal or lateral designations, above, below, in front, behind refer to the orientation of the light module 2 as it is intended to be integrated in a front projector of a motor vehicle.
  • a longitudinal direction corresponds to an optical axis A along which the light rays generated by the light module 2 extend mainly.
  • the lateral orientation corresponds to a line perpendicular to the optical axis A and which extends horizontally.
  • the vertical direction corresponds to an orientation perpendicular to the optical axis A and the lateral orientation.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a light module 2 according to the invention, otherwise called optical module, whose function is to generate and project one or more light beams on a road.
  • a light module 2 is intended to be installed in a headlight of a motor vehicle not shown in the figures to facilitate understanding of the invention.
  • the projector mentioned here generally comprises a rear housing closed at the front by a transparent glass, the latter being traversed by the light rays created by the light module according to the invention.
  • Such a projector can thus receive in its interior volume, delimited by the rear housing and the transparent glass, a plurality of light module, and at least one light module according to the invention.
  • Such a light module 2 forms a unitary subassembly, that is to say an object that can fulfill its function without any other input than the electrical energy necessary for its ignition, and if necessary with the help of a power control module to protect the module from excessive temperatures.
  • the light module 2 is arranged to create a beam of low beam and a beam of high beam.
  • the light module 2 is adapted so that the road beam is the combination of the beam of crossing light with a complementary beam which illuminates above and / or below the beam of passing beam, thus forming the beam of road light.
  • the light module 2 comprises at least one light source 4, in particular visible on the figure 2 . It also comprises at least one lens 6 arranged at one end of the module so as to be traversed by the light rays emitted by the light source 4. Such forming lens 6 contributes to the formation of the desired light beam, which it is a beam type dipped beam or a beam type road. In other words, the forming lens 6 forms a first longitudinal end of the light module 2.

  • the first tubular sector 12 can be flush with a dissipation member 18, intended to evacuate from the light module 2 at least a portion of the heat generated by the light source 4.
  • the support 8 can be made integral with the base 10 by the presence of screw pressing the support 8 against the first face 14 of the base 10.
  • FIG. 2 shows a portion of the light module 2, and in particular the base 10 without support 8, so as to facilitate understanding of the arrangement in the light module 2 of the light source 4, here composed of a set of components associated so to form three subassemblies capable of providing one after the other or at the same time light beams.
