Abstract

A vehicle lighting device comprising a light source, a reflector, tubular elements, characterized in that it further comprises a cone-shaped body filled with tubular elements with a length of at least 1 mm made of an opaque coated material having, for example, a rectangular cross section and oriented at least independently from each other with respect to the axes of symmetry of the vehicle, while the housing is located inside, behind the front panel of the car, and faces a large section lowering to the protective screen on it, and its smaller cross section is directed to the light source, closed by a heat-shielding, transparent screen corresponding to the size and shape of the reflector, and connected to it, moreover, all elements of the lighting device are located on the same optical axis of the light beam and are rotatably fixed relative to the axis of symmetry of the vehicle.

IPC in 60 Q 1/04 LIGHTING VEHICLE DEVICE The device relates to the field of automotive industry, namely, vehicle lighting systems. Known lighting device | 1, having a lens, a discharge lamp made in the form of a bulb with a tubular element. However, this design only slightly reduces the blindness of the driver of the vehicle. A known method of preventing glare to drivers of vehicles and a device for its implementation 2. It contains a photodetector, pulse shaper, electronic unit, voltage regulator and has difficulties not only in manufacturing but also in control. A device for controlling light and light reflectance h containing a light source, light-transmitting lenses with one transparent surface, a reflector and several tubular elements. The disadvantages of the device include the requirement to increase the aperture of the source, as well as its visibility, but the possibility of blinding the driver is not excluded. The proposed utility model of the vehicle’s lighting device eliminates the possibility of blindness to the driver, because his eyes fall on the tubular elements of the device’s optical system, eliminating the visibility of the light source itself. Application of this device design allows you to:

 to increase road safety by eliminating blindness of the driver through the use of an optical system of tubular elements enclosed in a housing;

-to increase the illumination of the road due to the design features of the device, eliminating the need to switch from low beam to high beam, which makes it possible to use gas-discharge lamps in the lighting device;

- Optionally redistribute light on the road due to the orientation in space of each tubular element of the optical system.

In FIG. 1.2 shows a general view of a lighting device with a section of tubular elements in the plane AA, in FIG. 3, - installation of the device on the vehicle (side view).

The device (figure 1) consists of a housing 1, a system of tubular elements 2. heat shield transparent 3. All elements are collected along the optical axis of the light beam 4 formed by the light source 5 and the reflector 6.

The housing 1, filled with a system of tubular elements 2, is made, for example, in a cone shape and is located inside, behind the front panel 7 of the car, with a large cross section facing the protective shield 8 on it, and a smaller cross section of the housing facing the light source 5 and closed by a heat-protective transparent screen 3, which corresponds to the dimensions and shape of the reflector 6 and is connected to it.

The tubular elements 2 with a length of at least 1 mm are made of an opaque coated material, have, for example, a rectangular cross section (Fig. 2) and are oriented at least independently from each other with respect to the axes of symmetry of the vehicle.

All elements of the lighting device are located on the same optical axis of the light beam 4 and are fixed with the possibility of rotation relative to the axis of symmetry of the vehicle (Fig.Z).

The device operates as follows.

When you turn on the light source 5, the light flux from it and the reflector 6 passes through the screen 3 into the system of tubular elements 2 enclosed in the housing 1.

Since the housing 1 is preferably conical in shape, the light flux acquires its spatial shape, i.e. extends at the exit of the tubular elements 2 through the protective screen 8 on the front panel in the form of a diverging cone.

Due to the possibility of rotation of the optical axis of the device (Fig.Z), the driver's eye falls on the tubular elements, excluding the visibility of the light source itself, which does not lead to dazzle.
