Description
L'invention concerne les dispositifs d'éclairage, et plus précisément ceux qui comprennent au moins un module d'éclairage comportant une source de photons et une lentille participant à la réalisation d'une fonction photométrique.The invention relates to lighting devices, and more precisely those which comprise at least one lighting module comprising a photon source and a lens participating in the performance of a photometric function.
Dans ce qui suit, on entend par « fonction photométrique » aussi bien une fonction photométrique d'éclairage, qu'une fonction photométrique de signalisation ou qu'une fonction photométrique d'effet lumineux, éventuellement décoratif.In what follows, the term “photometric function” means both a photometric lighting function, a photometric signaling function or a photometric light effect function, possibly decorative.
Dans certains domaines, comme par exemple celui des véhicules, éventuellement de type automobile, on utilise des dispositifs d'éclairage comprenant au moins un module d'éclairage comportant une source générant des photons et une lentille agissant sur ces photons pour qu'ils se dirigent vers une zone avant et participent à une fonction photométrique choisie. De tels dispositifs d'éclairage peuvent éventuellement faire partie d'un bloc optique assurant éventuellement au moins une autre fonction photométrique, notamment dans un véhicule.In certain fields, such as for example that of vehicles, possibly of automobile type, lighting devices are used comprising at least one lighting module comprising a source generating photons and a lens acting on these photons so that they are directed towards a front zone and participate in a chosen photometric function. Such lighting devices may possibly be part of an optical unit possibly ensuring at least one other photometric function, in particular in a vehicle.
A titre d'exemple, dans un véhicule terrestre, la fonction photométrique du dispositif d'éclairage peut être choisie parmi une fonction de feu de route, une fonction de feu de croisement (ou code), et une fonction de feu antibrouillard. Mais il pourrait également s'agir d'une fonction photométrique de signalisation.For example, in a land vehicle, the photometric function of the lighting device can be chosen from a high beam function, a low beam (or code) function, and a fog light function. But it could also be a photometric signaling function.
Actuellement, la source de photons et la lentille d'un module d'éclairage sont solidarisées fixement et respectivement à une face interne d'une paroi de support qui fait généralement partie d'un boîtier de bloc optique. La source est fréquemment montée sur une carte à circuits imprimés (éventuellement de type PCB (« Printed Circuit Board »)), notamment lorsqu'elle comprend au moins une diode électroluminescente, cette carte étant généralement vissée sur des pattes de fixation que comprend la paroi de support. De même, la lentille comprend généralement au moins une patte de fixation qui est vissée sur une patte de fixation correspondante de la paroi de support, ou bien est solidarisée fixement à une pièce de couplage qui est elle-même vissée sur une patte de fixation correspondante de la paroi de support. Le nombre d'opérations nécessaires à l'installation d'un module d'éclairage est donc important, ce qui augmente la durée d'assemblage et donc les coûts de fabrication. De plus, le nombre de pattes de fixation que doit comprendre la paroi de support complexifie la réalisation de cette dernière (généralement par moulage d'une matière plastique) et éventuellement de la lentille, et augmente l'encombrement. Par ailleurs, le masquage de ce que l'homme de l'art appelle la partie technique (carte à circuits imprimés avec source, pattes de fixation et éventuelle pièce de couplage) nécessite l'utilisation d'un masque de forme souvent complexe et encombrante, et donc rarement esthétique. Enfin, le mode de fixation de la source et de la lentille limite les possibilités d'effet de style, et notamment empêche de donner l'impression que le module d'éclairage est en « lévitation » (ou « flotte ») par rapport au masque, et plus généralement rend difficile la participation du module d'éclairage au style et/ou à la signature du système qu'il équipe.Currently, the photon source and the lens of a lighting module are fixedly and respectively secured to an internal face of a support wall which is generally part of an optical unit housing. The source is frequently mounted on a printed circuit board (possibly of PCB type (“Printed Circuit Board”)), in particular when it comprises at least one light-emitting diode, this board generally being screwed on fixing lugs which the wall comprises. of support. Likewise, the lens generally comprises at least one fixing lug which is screwed onto a corresponding fixing lug of the support wall, or else is fixedly secured to a coupling piece which is itself screwed onto a corresponding fixing lug. of the support wall. The number of operations required to install a lighting module is therefore significant, which increases the assembly time and therefore the manufacturing costs. In addition, the number of fixing lugs that the support wall must include complicates the production of the latter (generally by molding a plastic material) and possibly of the lens, and increases the size. Furthermore, masking what the skilled person calls the technical part (printed circuit board with source, fixing lugs and possible coupling part) requires the use of a mask of often complex and bulky shape. , and therefore rarely aesthetic. Finally, the method of fixing the source and the lens limits the possibilities of style effect, and in particular prevents giving the impression that the lighting module is "levitating" (or "floats") relative to the mask, and more generally makes it difficult for the lighting module to participate in the style and / or signature of the system it equips.
L'invention a donc notamment pour but d'améliorer la situation.The invention therefore aims in particular to improve the situation.
Elle propose notamment à cet effet un dispositif d'éclairage comprenant au moins un module (d'éclairage) comportant une source générant des photons et une lentille agissant sur ces photons générés pour qu'ils se dirigent vers une zone avant et participent à une fonction photométrique choisie.To this end, it proposes in particular a lighting device comprising at least one (lighting) module comprising a source generating photons and a lens acting on these generated photons so that they go towards a front zone and participate in a function. photometric chosen.
Ce dispositif d'éclairage se caractérise par le fait :
- qu'il comprend aussi une paroi de support, et
- que chaque module (d'éclairage) comprend des coques supérieure et inférieure présentant chacune une forme allongée en direction de la zone avant, et solidarisées entre elles en définissant un espace interne dans lequel est installée fixement la lentille, la coque supérieure comprenant une première partie arrière définissant un logement, dans lequel est installée au moins partiellement la source, et couplée à la paroi de support.
- that it also includes a support wall, and
- that each (lighting) module comprises upper and lower shells, each having an elongated shape in the direction of the front zone, and joined together by defining an internal space in which the lens is fixedly installed, the upper shell comprising a first part rear defining a housing, in which the source is installed at least partially, and coupled to the support wall.
Ainsi, chaque module dispose d'un long porte-à-faux qui donne l'impression qu'il est en lévitation (ou flottant), ce qui peut lui permettre de participer à un style et/ou à une signature, par exemple d'un bloc optique.Thus, each module has a long overhang which gives the impression that it is levitating (or floating), which can allow it to participate in a style and / or a signature, for example d 'an optical unit.
Le dispositif d'éclairage selon l'invention peut comporter d'autres caractéristiques qui peuvent être prises séparément ou en combinaison, et notamment :
- chaque module peut comprendre un radiateur métallique solidarisé fixement à la paroi de support, auquel est solidarisée fixement la première partie arrière de la coque supérieure, et évacuant des calories produites par la source dans le logement ; la (chaque) coque inférieure peut comprendre une deuxième partie arrière solidarisée fixement à la première partie arrière de la coque supérieure et au radiateur métallique ;
- la deuxième partie arrière de la coque inférieure peut comprendre une patte de couplage s'étendant vers la paroi de support et comportant un trou traversant. Dans ce cas, le radiateur métallique peut comprendre un pion de couplage perpendiculaire à cette patte de couplage et traversant ce trou traversant afin de coupler la deuxième partie arrière au radiateur métallique dans une zone inférieure ;
- la (chaque) coque supérieure peut comprendre une première partie avant opposée à sa première partie arrière, à laquelle est couplée fixement une deuxième partie avant de la coque inférieure opposée à sa deuxième partie arrière, et munie d'une ouverture logeant étroitement une troisième partie avant de la lentille, opposée à la source ;
- la lentille peut présenter une forme allongée en direction de la zone avant et peut comprendre une troisième partie arrière solidarisée fixement à la première partie arrière de la coque supérieure, à la deuxième partie arrière de la coque inférieure, et à l'éventuel radiateur métallique ;
- chaque module peut comprendre une pièce d'habillage placée devant la lentille, couplée fixement à une première partie avant de la coque supérieure opposée à sa première partie arrière, et transparente afin de laisser passer les photons sortant de la lentille et se dirigeant vers la zone avant ;
- il peut aussi comprendre un masque solidarisé fixement à sa paroi de support, muni d'au moins une ouverture traversée par une partie intermédiaire du module associé qui prolonge la première partie arrière de la coque supérieure vers la zone avant, et masquant une partie arrière de ce module ;
- la fonction photométrique peut être choisie parmi une fonction photométrique d'éclairage et une fonction photométrique de signalisation.
- each module may include a metal radiator fixedly attached to the support wall, to which the first rear part of the upper shell is fixedly attached, and discharging calories produced by the source in the housing; the (each) lower shell may comprise a second rear part fixedly secured to the first rear part of the upper shell and to the metal radiator;
- the second rear part of the lower shell may comprise a coupling tab extending towards the support wall and comprising a through hole. In this case, the metal radiator may include a coupling pin perpendicular to this coupling tab and passing through this through hole in order to couple the second rear part to the metal radiator in a lower zone;
- the (each) upper shell may comprise a first front part opposite to its first rear part, to which is fixedly coupled a second front part of the lower shell opposite to its second rear part, and provided with an opening closely accommodating a third part front of the lens, opposite the source;

- each module may include a covering piece placed in front of the lens, fixedly coupled to a first front part of the upper shell opposite its first rear part, and transparent in order to allow passage photons coming out of the lens and heading towards the front area;
- it can also include a mask fixedly fixed to its support wall, provided with at least one opening traversed by an intermediate part of the associated module which extends the first rear part of the upper shell towards the front zone, and masking a rear part of this module;
- the photometric function can be chosen from a photometric lighting function and a photometric signaling function.

L'invention a notamment pour but de proposer un dispositif d'éclairage DE comprenant au moins un module d'éclairage MEj (à source de photons et lentille L) assurant une fonction photométrique choisie et donnant l'impression de léviter (ou flotter).The object of the invention is in particular to propose a lighting device DE comprising at least one lighting module MEj (with photon source and lens L) ensuring a chosen photometric function and giving the impression of levitating (or floating).
On considère dans ce qui suit, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, que le dispositif d'éclairage DE est destiné à équiper un bloc optique BO d'un véhicule de type automobile, comme par exemple une voiture. Mais l'invention n'est pas limitée à cette application. En effet, un dispositif d'éclairage DE peut être un équipement en soi (comportant éventuellement son propre boîtier et sa propre glace de protection), ou bien peut faire partie d'un autre équipement qu'un bloc optique de véhicule. Ainsi, un dispositif d'éclairage DE peut faire partie de n'importe quel véhicule (terrestre, maritime (ou fluvial), ou aérien), de n'importe quelle installation, y compris de type industriel, de n'importe quel appareil (ou système), y compris de type grand public, et de n'importe quel bâtiment.It is considered in what follows, by way of nonlimiting example, that the lighting device DE is intended to equip an optical unit BO of a vehicle of the automobile type, such as for example a car. However, the invention is not limited to this application. Indeed, a lighting device DE can be an equipment per se (possibly comprising its own housing and its own protective glass), or else can be part of other equipment than an optical unit of the vehicle. Thus, a DE lighting device can be part of any vehicle (land, sea (or river), or air), any installation, including industrial type, any device ( or system), including the general public type, and any building.
Par ailleurs, on considère dans ce qui suit, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, que le bloc optique BO (comprenant un dispositif d'éclairage DE) est un projecteur (ou phare) avant assurant au moins une fonction photométrique d'éclairage. Mais l'invention n'est pas limitée à cette application. En effet, le dispositif d'éclairage DE, selon l'invention, est un dispositif lumineux pouvant assurer au moins une fonction photométrique d'éclairage ou de signalisation ou d'effet lumineux, éventuellement décoratif, dès lors que cette fonction photométrique nécessite au moins une source de photons et une lentille faisant partie d'un module d'éclairage.Furthermore, it is considered in what follows, by way of nonlimiting example, that the optical unit BO (comprising a lighting device DE) is a headlight (or headlight) providing at least one photometric lighting function. However, the invention is not limited to this application. Indeed, the lighting device DE, according to the invention, is a light device capable of ensuring at least one photometric function of lighting or signaling or of light effect, possibly decorative, since this photometric function requires at least a photon source and a lens forming part of a lighting module.
Sur les
On a schématiquement illustré sur la
Le boîtier BB est destiné, ici, à être solidarisé à une partie de la carrosserie d'un véhicule (ici dans une partie avant, comme par exemple une aile avant). Il est réalisé dans un matériau rigide, comme par exemple une matière plastique ou synthétique. Dans ce cas, il peut être réalisé par moulage.The BB unit is intended, here, to be secured to a part of the body of a vehicle (here in a front part, such as for example a front wing). It is made of a rigid material, such as for example a plastic or synthetic material. In this case, it can be produced by molding.
La glace de protection peut, par exemple, être réalisée en verre ou en matière plastique. Elle est solidarisée fixement à une partie avant du boîtier BB, par exemple par collage, soudage ou vissage. Par ailleurs, elle peut éventuellement présenter une ou plusieurs couleurs choisies parmi le blanc cristal, le rouge et l'orange.The protective glass can, for example, be made of glass or plastic. It is fixedly secured to a front part of the housing BB, for example by gluing, welding or screwing. Furthermore, it may possibly have one or more colors chosen from crystal white, red and orange.

Chaque module MEj est solidarisé fixement du côté de sa partie arrière à la paroi de support PS, comme on le verra plus loin et comme cela est illustré sur la
Cette paroi de support PS peut être réalisée par moulage d'une matière plastique ou synthétique rigide, telle que du polyéthylène (ou PE) ou du polypropylène (ou PP) ou encore du polycarbonate (ou PC).This support wall PS can be produced by molding a rigid plastic or synthetic material, such as polyethylene (or PE) or polypropylene (or PP) or even polycarbonate (or PC).
La source (de photons) de chaque module MEj est agencée de manière à générer des photons devant participer à une fonction photométrique choisie.The source (of photons) of each module MEj is arranged so as to generate photons which must participate in a chosen photometric function.
Par exemple, dans le cas d'un véhicule, cette fonction photométrique est une fonction de feu de croisement (ou code). Mais il pourrait également s'agir d'une fonction de feu de route ou de feu antibrouillard, ou, comme évoqué précédemment, de n'importe quelle fonction de signalisation.For example, in the case of a vehicle, this photometric function is a dipped beam (or code) function. But it could also be a main beam or fog light function, or, as mentioned above, any signaling function.
Chaque source de photons peut, par exemple, comprendre au moins une diode électroluminescente, de type classique (ou LED (« Light-Emitting Diode »)) ou de type organique (ou OLED (« Organic Light-Emitting Diode »)), ou bien une diode laser.Each photon source may, for example, comprise at least one light-emitting diode, of the conventional type (or LED (“Light-Emitting Diode”)) or of the organic type (or OLED (“Organic Light-Emitting Diode”)), or well a laser diode.
Le fonctionnement de la source (de photons) de chaque module MEj est contrôlé par des moyens de contrôle qui peuvent, par exemple, faire partie au moins partiellement d'au moins une carte à circuits imprimés CC (visible sur les
La lentille L de chaque module MEj est agencée de manière à agir sur les photons générés par la source pour qu'ils se dirigent vers une zone avant ZA et participent à la fonction photométrique choisie. Dans l'exemple qui est ici décrit, la zone avant ZA est située au niveau de la glace de protection du bloc optique BO. En l'absence de glace de protection, cette zone avant ZA est située devant la lentille L de chaque module MEj.The lens L of each module MEj is arranged so as to act on the photons generated by the source so that they go towards a front zone ZA and participate in the chosen photometric function. In the example described here, the front zone ZA is located at the level of the block's protective glass. BO optic. In the absence of protective glass, this front zone ZA is located in front of the lens L of each module MEj.
Chaque lentille L peut, par exemple, être réalisée par moulage d'une matière plastique transparente telle que le poly-méthacrylate de méthyle (ou PMMA) ou du polycarbonate (ou PC).Each lens L can, for example, be produced by molding a transparent plastic material such as poly methyl methacrylate (or PMMA) or polycarbonate (or PC).
Les coques supérieure C1 et inférieure C2 de chaque module MEj présentent chacune une forme allongée en direction de la zone avant ZA (et donc suivant la direction longitudinale X), et sont solidarisées entre elles en définissant un espace interne EI dans lequel est installée fixement la lentille L.The upper C1 and lower C2 shells of each module MEj each have an elongated shape in the direction of the front zone ZA (and therefore in the longitudinal direction X), and are joined together by defining an internal space EI in which is fixedly installed the lens L.
La coque supérieure C1 de chaque module MEj comprend une première partie arrière PR1, une première partie avant PV1 et une partie intermédiaire joignant les premières parties arrière PR1 et avant PV1. La première partie arrière PR1 définit un logement LA dans lequel est installée au moins partiellement la source associée, et est couplée à la paroi de support PS.The upper shell C1 of each module MEj comprises a first rear part PR1, a first front part PV1 and an intermediate part joining the first rear parts PR1 and before PV1. The first rear part PR1 defines a housing LA in which the associated source is installed at least partially, and is coupled to the support wall PS.
Les coques supérieure C1 et inférieure C2 peuvent être réalisées par moulage d'une matière plastique ou synthétique rigide, telle que du polyéthylène ou du polypropylène ou encore du polycarbonate. Par ailleurs, l'une au moins des coques supérieure C1 et inférieure C2 peut être au moins partiellement stylisée.The upper C1 and lower C2 shells can be produced by molding a rigid plastic or synthetic material, such as polyethylene or polypropylene or else polycarbonate. Furthermore, at least one of the upper C1 and lower C2 shells can be at least partially stylized.
Grâce au couplage de la première partie arrière PR1 de la coque supérieure C1 d'un module MEj et à la forme allongée suivant X de cette coque supérieure C1, ce module MEj dispose d'un long porte-à-faux qui donne l'impression qu'il est en lévitation (ou flottant) (ici à l'intérieur du bloc optique BO). De plus, cela permet ici de faire participer le dispositif d'éclairage DE, et en particulier chacun de ses modules MEj, au style et/ou à la signature du bloc optique BO.Thanks to the coupling of the first rear part PR1 of the upper shell C1 of a module MEj and to the elongated shape along X of this upper shell C1, this module MEj has a long overhang which gives the impression that it is levitating (or floating) (here inside the optical unit BO). In addition, this makes it possible here to involve the lighting device DE, and in particular each of its modules MEj, in the style and / or in the signature of the optical unit BO.
Le porte-à-faux de chaque module MEj peut, par exemple, être compris entre 30 mm et 100 mm. Ainsi, il peut, par exemple, être égal à environ 80 mm.The overhang of each MEj module can, for example, be between 30 mm and 100 mm. Thus, it can, for example, be equal to about 80 mm.
Par exemple, et comme illustré non limitativement sur les
Par exemple, chaque radiateur métallique RM peut être réalisé en aluminium, ce qui offre une bonne rigidité pour un faible poids. Cette rigidité permet de supporter un important porte-à-faux.For example, each RM metal radiator can be made of aluminum, which provides good rigidity for a low weight. This rigidity allows it to support a large overhang.
Comme illustré non limitativement sur les
On notera que lorsque chaque module MEj comprend sa propre carte à circuits imprimés CC et que sa source est montée sur cette dernière (CC), cette carte à circuits imprimés CC est placée au-dessus du logement LA de la première partie arrière PR1 de la coque supérieure C1 avec la source logée dans ce logement LA pour alimenter la lentille L. Dans ce cas, la carte à circuits imprimés CC est intercalée étroitement entre la partie avant du radiateur métallique RM et la première partie arrière PR1 de la coque supérieure C1 (au niveau de son logement LA) afin d'être solidarisée fixement à cette première partie arrière PR1 et au radiateur métallique RM (par exemple via les vis illustrées sur la
Par exemple, et comme illustré non limitativement sur les
On notera que les première PV1 et deuxième PV2 parties avant, respectivement des coques supérieure C1 et inférieure C2, peuvent être solidarisées fixement entre elles par clippage, vissage ou emboîtement par coopération de formes.It will be noted that the first PV1 and second PV2 front parts, respectively of the upper C1 and lower C2 shells, can be fixedly joined together by clipping, screwing or interlocking by cooperation of shapes.

La pièce d'habillage PA peut, par exemple, être réalisée par moulage d'une matière plastique transparente telle que le poly-méthacrylate de méthyle (ou PMMA) ou le polycarbonate (ou PC).The covering piece PA can, for example, be produced by molding a transparent plastic material such as poly methyl methacrylate (or PMMA) or polycarbonate (or PC).

Ce masque MA peut être réalisé par moulage d'une matière plastique ou synthétique rigide, telle que du polyéthylène ou du polypropylène ou encore du polycarbonate.This MA mask can be produced by molding a rigid plastic or synthetic material, such as polyethylene or polypropylene or even polycarbonate.
On notera également que le dispositif d'éclairage DE peut être avantageusement préassemblé, ce qui permet de n'avoir plus qu'à le solidariser fixement au système qu'il doit équiper, comme par exemple un bloc optique BO, par exemple par vissage d'au moins sa paroi de support PS au boîtier BB de ce bloc optique BO.It will also be noted that the lighting device DE can advantageously be pre-assembled, which makes it possible only to have it fixedly attached to the system which it must equip, such as for example an optical unit BO, for example by screwing 'at least its support wall PS to the housing BB of this optical unit BO.
