Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a light guide forming part of a light signaling device of a motor vehicle, such a light guide typically comprising a light source and a guide portion made of transparent material, for guiding light towards an exit surface visible from the outside environment of the vehicle.
- An object of the present invention is to respond to the drawbacks of the prior art mentioned above and in particular, first of all, to provide a light guide which offers a simple fixing solution and which allows adaptations of design or conception, without requiring long and costly development operations.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a light guide of a vehicle light signaling device comprising at least one light source arranged to emit at least one signaling light, the light guide comprising:
- first guide portion defining a first optical path
- second guide portion defining a second optical path, following the first optical path
- first guide portion and / or the second guide portion is integrally formed with:
- positioning means arranged to block at least three degrees of freedom between the first guide portion and the second guide portion
- - Locking means comprising at least one flexible portion, arranged to lock the blocking of said degrees of freedom, by elastic deformation of said at least one flexible portion.
- the light guide according to the above implementation comprises positioning and locking means integrally formed in the first or second guide portion (the guide portions are separate and independent parts), so that there is no need to provide external fixing, which simplifies the overall system.
- these guide portions are produced by molding a transparent plastic material. These are for example PMMA (poly (methyl methacrylate)) with a refractive index of 1.49 or polycarbonate with a refractive index of 1.59, and the integration of these positioning and locking means is easy, by simple design of the manufacturing mold.
- these two guide portions which integrate their own coupling means between them (made of the same material), provide an integrated fixing solution.
- the positioning means are arranged to block at least five degrees of freedom between the first guide portion and the second guide portion. Even more advantageously, the positioning means are arranged to block six degrees of freedom between the first guide portion and the second guide portion, so as to immobilize the two guide portions between them.
- the positioning means comprise a plurality of support pads arranged on an exit surface of the first optical path or on an entry surface of the second optical path, and arranged to bear respectively on the surface of entry of the second optical path or on the exit surface of the first optical path, so as to block at least a first degree of freedom in translation in a first direction.
- Such support pads can for example block an X translation, and also one or two rotations along an axis perpendicular to this direction.
- the invention relates to a light guide of a vehicle light signaling device comprising at least one light source arranged to emit at least one signaling light, the light guide including:
- a first guide portion comprising:
- a second entry surface arranged to capture and direct the light emitted by the first exit surface towards a second optical path of the second guide portion ⁇ a second exit surface, arranged at the exit of the second optical path of the second portion guide characterized in that the first guide portion and / or the second guide portion is integrally formed with: positioning means arranged to block at least three degrees of freedom between the first exit surface and the second entry surface,
- - Locking means comprising at least one flexible portion, arranged to lock the blocking of said degrees of freedom, by elastic deformation of said at least one flexible portion.
- the positioning means are arranged to block at least five degrees of freedom between the first exit surface and the second entry surface.
- the positioning means comprise a plurality of support pads arranged on one of the first outlet surface or of the second inlet surface, and arranged to bear on the other of the first surface exit or the second entry surface, so as to block at least a first degree of freedom in translation in a first direction.
- Such support pads can for example block an X translation, and also one or two rotations along an axis perpendicular to this direction.
- the positioning means comprise a plurality of hooks arranged on one of the first guide portion or of the second guide portion, so as to couple with the other of the first guide portion or of the second guide portion, so as to lock the first degree of freedom in the second direction, and to block at least a second degree of freedom in translation.
- the second degree of freedom is typically in the Y direction.
- the positioning means and the locking means comprise at least one flexible tab arranged on one of the first guide portion or of the second guide portion, so as to couple with the other of the first guide portion or the second guide portion, so as to block at least a third degree of freedom in translation and to lock the first guide portion on the second guide portion.
- the third degree of freedom is typically in the direction Z. It is possible to envisage engagement or coupling by elastic interlocking, otherwise called clipping or clipping.
- the first guide portion and / or the second guide portion are thin and / or planar guide portions.
- the guide portions have a cross section (typically perpendicular to the optical path, that is to say the path of the light) which has a width significantly less than its length, and the total optical path has a length also significantly greater than the width of the cross section.
- a second aspect of the invention relates to a signaling device, such as a device for indicating a change in direction and / or in position, comprising:
- At least one light source arranged to emit at least one signaling light
- said at least one light source is fixed on the first guide portion.
- the light guide comprises two light sources, each arranged to emit specific signaling light.
- a third aspect of the invention relates to a motor vehicle, comprising at least one light guide according to the first aspect of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a general view of a light guide according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a rear view of the light guide of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows a first guide portion of the light guide of Figure 1;
- Figure 4 shows a second guide portion of the light guide of Figure 1;
- Figure 5 shows a detail of the second guide portion of the light guide of Figure 1;
- FIG. 6 shows a detail of the light guide of Figure 1, seen from a first angle
- Figure 7 shows the detail of the light guide of Figure 1, seen from a second angle
- Figure 8 shows another detail of the light guide of Figure 1
- FIG. 9 represents two schematic examples of the embodiment of the light guide of FIG. 1.
- Figure 1 shows a light guide according to the present invention, comprising a first guide portion 10 coupled to a second guide portion 20.
- the first guide portion 10 defines a first optical path which is upstream (i.e. close to the light source), and the second guide portion 20 forms a second optical path which is downstream (i.e. the first guide portion 10 is located between the light source and the second guide portion 20).
- this is the second portion guide 20 and in particular its outlet surface which will be visible to the customer.
- the light guide comprises a first standard guide portion 10 usable on several vehicle models and a second guide portion 20 whose output is specific to a given vehicle.
- FIG. 2 shows a rear view of the first guide portion 10 which embeds the light sources, which here are one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs or LEDs) mounted on an electronic circuit 40.
- the light sources which here are one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs or LEDs) mounted on an electronic circuit 40.
- the invention also provides an integrated fixing solution for securing the first guide portion 10 and the second guide portion 20, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
- pads 31 are formed on a surface d entry 20e of the second guide portion 20, which come to bear on an exit surface 10s of the first guide portion 10.
- These studs 31 therefore form part of positioning means, and block, a first degree of freedom, here a translation along an axis X of the vehicle.
- FIG. 5 shows these studs 31 in close-up.
- the positioning means also include hooks 32b formed on the inlet surface 20e of the second guide portion 20 (visible in FIG. 4), which are housed in openings 32a formed in the outlet surface 10s of the first guide portion 10. These hooks 32b and openings 32a are part of the positioning means, and then block a second degree of freedom, here a translation along an axis Y of the vehicle.
- Figures 6 and 7 show in close-up and at two different angles the assembled parts, with the hooks 32b engaged in the openings 32a.
- a flexible tab 33a is provided on the first guide portion 10, to cooperate with a cleat 33b of the second guide portion, to block the last degree of freedom in translation (in the direction Z), and also to engage after deformation and elastic return on the cleat 33b (by clipping or clipping or elastic interlocking), so as to also form locking means, in addition to being part of the positioning means.
- FIG. 8 represents a close-up of the flexible tab 32a engaged with the cleat 33b.
- the studs 31, the openings 32a, the hooks 32b, the flexible tab 33a and the cleat 33b form means for positioning the first guide portion 10 on the second guide portion 20 and are integrated on these parts (made for example from a single block by injection / molding in a single material). Part of these positioning means also form locking means, so that the first guide portion 10 is firmly fixed to the second guide portion 20 to form the light guide according to the invention.
- FIG. 9 shows two alternative embodiments of the light guide according to the invention which is coupled to two types of light sources 41 and 42.
- the light sources 41 and 42 are stacked or offset in a direction normal to this view, fixed on a printed circuit 43, and opposite a single input surface of the first guide portion 10, which is coupled with the positioning and locking means with the second guide portion 20.
- the light sources 41 and 42 are separated, so that the first guide portion 10 'has two inlet surfaces, and a single outlet surface, which is opposite screw with the entry surface of the second guide portion 20 '.
- the second guide portion 20 or 20 ' is visible from the outside, so that only the latter would have to be modified in case of adaptation to a new vehicle.
- the interfaces (positioning means and locking means) between the first guide portion 10 or 10 'the second guide portion 20 or 20' are identical, and always integrated directly into the body of these parts, which are then easy manufacturing and assembly.
