Definitions

  • the invention relates to a light module of a motor vehicle.
  • the invention relates to a light module comprising a plurality of light guides and capable of generating a pixelated light beam.
  • light modules capable of generating a pixelated beam, the projection of which forms an image composed of illumination units, also called "pixels" in English.
  • Said units are organized in at least one horizontal and / or vertical row and each of the illumination units can be activated selectively.
  • Such a light module is used in addition to a second light module capable of generating a main lighting and signaling beam to form a lighting and signaling beam integrating one or more adaptive functions.
  • the pixelated beam is illuminated with a portion of the road beam in order to perform an adaptive road function, called ADB, for "Adaptive Driving Beam".
  • ADB adaptive road function
  • This function makes it possible to form a beam with a shadow zone arranged at the level of a vehicle coming opposite and / or at the level of a vehicle being followed.
  • the purpose of this function is to offer better visibility to the driver of the vehicle while avoiding dazzling the driver of the vehicle ahead and / or of the vehicle being followed.
  • the light beam must include an area requiring strong lighting.
  • the illumination thereof must respect a high value which is either imposed by regulations or fixed by automobile manufacturers.
  • the required illumination value must be obtained at least at the level of a central segment of the beam.
  • This central segment is in particular in the form of a light strip composed of at least one illumination unit.
  • the light module generating the pixelated beam must produce at least one illumination unit constituting the central segment, called the central illumination unit, which has the desired illumination.
  • the central illumination unit here is a high intensity illumination unit.
  • the light module comprises a plurality of light guides arranged in a horizontal row.
  • Each of these guides extends between an input diopter and an output.
  • a guide is placed in the middle of the horizontal row and is called the central guide.
  • the central guide participates in generating the central illumination unit.
  • a powerful light source is placed in front of the central guide input diopter so that the central illumination unit has the desired illumination.
  • the powerful light source can be a multi-chip light-emitting diode, in particular with three chips.
  • a first object of the invention is a vehicle light module, comprising:
  • each of said guides extending between an inlet diopter of this guide and an outlet, the adjacent light guides joining one another by a material junction;
  • the light module comprises at least two guides, the distance between the focal surface and the junction of said two guides is greater than the distance between the focal surface and the junction of the other guides.
  • the light guides there are at least two light guides which join upstream of the other guides and also upstream of the focal surface. These two light guides form a set, called a particular set.
  • each of the guides of said particular assembly is therefore arranged at their junction with one another, the two guides joining therein in a single guide forming the terminal portion of said particular assembly.
  • the downstream end of this terminal portion forms the outlet of said particular assembly.
  • the particular set of two light guides includes two input diopters and a single output. Two separate light sources can therefore be placed respectively in front of the two input diopters of this set.
  • the light rays of these two distinct light sources mix inside the particular assembly, precisely in the terminal portion of said assembly, and this upstream of the single outlet of said particular assembly.
  • a luminous flux resulting at the exit of the particular assembly which is the sum of the luminous flux at the exit of each of the guides of the assembly.
  • these two light sources can be chosen cleverly so that when the light flux is added at the output of each of the guides of the assembly, the resulting luminous flux is obtained, at the output of the assembly particular, which is equal to the luminous flux at the exit of the light guide of the state of the art.
  • said state of the art light guide is the one that participates in generating a high intensity illumination unit.
  • the two light sources can be light sources consuming less energy and having a lower lighting power than the only more powerful light source in the state of the art.
  • the light sources cooperating with said particular assembly can be single-chip light-emitting diodes, while in the prior art, light-emitting diodes used for the maximum of a lighting beam, in particular a beam are generally tri-chip light emitting diodes.
  • such light sources cost less than the only powerful light source in the state of the art, which makes it possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing the light module according to the invention.
  • two of these sources cost less than one of the single source used in the state of the art.
  • the less expensive components here less powerful light sources, can be used while keeping the same efficiency of the generated beam.
  • the technical problem compared to the state of the art is resolved.
  • the light guides are arranged in a horizontal row; and the two guides, the distance of which between their junction and the focal surface is greater than the distance between the focal surface and the junction of the other guides, are placed in the middle of said horizontal row, and are called central guides; a light module thus arranged can be used to generate at least a portion of the main beam which comprises the highly illuminated area requested;
  • the light module is intended to generate a light beam along an optical axis, and in that the central guides are in equal number on either side of said optical axis; the light module, thus arranged, can generate at least one central illumination unit, symmetrical with respect to the optical axis of the module;
  • central guides there are two central guides; according to a configuration of the light module, two central guides are sufficient to create a central illumination unit having the desired illumination; in addition, two central guides remain simple to produce;
  • a single-chip light-emitting diode is placed in front of the input diopter of each central guide; the single-chip light-emitting diode costs less than a multi-chip light-emitting diode; it is therefore an economical alternative to the powerful light source;
  • the single-chip light-emitting diodes are arranged on a printed circuit according to a surface mounting technology; the light-emitting diodes, produced using this technology, are soldered to the printed circuit; the latter can be connected to a radiator allowing the heat released by this circuit to be removed; in general, the light-emitting diodes soldered on the printed circuit cost less than when they are glued directly to the radiator;

  • the distance between the focal surface and the junction of the central guides, called the first distance dl, is greater than 0.5 mm; by way of example, the first distance di can be between 1.5 mm and 15 mm;
  • the distance between the focal surface and the junction of the guides other than the central guides is between 1 mm and 4 mm;
  • the light module comprises, for example, eight light guides
  • the light module is capable of generating a pixelated light beam
  • the at least two guides the distance between the focal surface and the junction of said two guides, is greater than the distance between the focal surface and the junction of the other guides are called secondary guides, the other guides being called primary guides, each guide primary forming a primary illumination unit in the bundle and the secondary guides together forming a single secondary illumination unit in the bundle, the illumination units being arranged adjacent to at least one row and capable of being selectively activated;

  • the invention also relates to a lighting device comprising a first light module arranged so as to generate a primary portion of the driving beam.
  • Said device also comprises a light module according to the invention, called the second light module, arranged so as to generate a secondary portion of the road beam complementary to the primary portion generated by the first module.
