Definitions
- the invention relates to a lamp arrangement for a vehicle, with lights arranged in several levels, in particular a headlight arrangement for a motor vehicle, with a low and high beam arranged in one level, and lights arranged for the parking and the flashing light in a second level.
- Headlamp arrangements are known in which the reflector for the low beam and the reflector for the high beam are arranged separately from one another and next to one another in a luminaire housing which is covered with a transparent lens that serves as the light exit surface.
- a flashing light can be arranged in or next to the lamp housing.
- Such a double headlight arrangement is known from DE 199 61 859 A1.
- the parking light which can also be used as parking light, is usually housed with a separate light source in the reflector for the low beam.
- Such a headlight arrangement has the advantage that it is compact, can be manufactured as a pre-assembly unit and can be inserted into the body flush with the body in this. Your night appearance is not very distinctive both when driving and when parking.
- the lighting unit described in DE 199 33 766 A1 is not very distinctive when driving in the dark and also when parking.
- a plurality of reflector chambers are formed in two planes one above the other in a frame which is arranged in a housing.
- the reflector chambers for the high beam and the low beam and / or for signal lights are arranged in one plane and the reflector chamber for the flashing light below them.
- the lighting arrangement for motor vehicles in which, in addition to the headlights for the dipped and high beam, also the lights for the parking light (parking light) and the turn signal light, also belong to the category of the light arrangements with rather less distinctive character in the dark are housed in the luminaire housing.
- the luminaire housing there is a circular ring surface or partial circular ring surface in front of the projection lens or the light exit surface of a reflector formed, which is equipped with light-emitting diodes, one light-emitting diode field forming the flashing light and the other the parking light.
- DE 198 29 344 A1 describes a double headlight arrangement for a motor vehicle in which lamps for the flashing light and the parking light (parking light) are accommodated in a headlight housing with a light exit surface under two headlights for the main beam and the low beam, the Light exit surface in front of the latter is coated partially permeable to cover them.
- the partially transparent coating is optically sealed in the direction from the outside into the headlight housing and translucent in the opposite direction.
- the luminaire design can be carried out in such a way that the flashing light and the parking light are accommodated in a concave groove which is formed under the headlights in the transverse direction of the vehicle and is open on the light exit side.
- This headlight arrangement also does not produce a characteristic appearance in the dark.
- DE 100 65 020 A1 describes a headlight arrangement for vehicles in which a further light source for generating a limiting light is arranged under at least one reflector with a light source, to which a light-guiding element with a light exit surface under the reflector is assigned, through which light directly in the light exit direction of the headlight emerges.
- the invention consists in that in a lamp arrangement which is formed from at least one reflector for a headlight or for a tail light and a flashing light arranged in a plane below this and a parking light, each with a reflector and a corresponding light source, the flashing light and the parking light are formed in a common reflector chamber with a light exit opening extending in the transverse direction of the vehicle under the reflector with a viewing window.
- the reflector chamber with the light exit opening is chosen to be considerably wider than the reflector diameter, so that the light exit opening is clearly beam-like is trained.
- the reflectors for the flashing light and the parking light are arranged side by side in the chamber in such a way that the light emitted by one of the two light sources detects and radiates through the entire width of the light exit opening.
- the parking light is coupled to the headlamp or to the lamp which is formed by the reflector arranged above it and lights up in a headlamp together with the low beam and in a rear light arrangement together with the tail light.
- the lamp arrangement is a headlight arrangement
- a characteristic appearance results when the low beam is switched on, which is formed by a circular light area and a light bar arranged below it in the manner described above, in which the bar is considerably wider than the diameter of the circular area ,
- This appearance which is particularly striking when driving in the dark, differs in a characteristic way from other appearances.
- the bar arrangement and the width of the bar advantageously make the vehicle appear wider.
- the characteristic appearance is formed by the tail light and the bar.
- the bar is preferably designed asymmetrically to the respective lamp and with its excess width to the center of the vehicle.
- the light exit opening of the reflector chamber essentially has the width which is determined by the reflectors lying next to one another.
- the low beam is arranged on the outside, so that the same characteristic appearance results when the same is switched on.
- the reflector chamber is preferably designed in a drawer-like manner, the reflectors for the turn signal lamp and the parking light being formed side by side, in such a way that they overlap and form a cut edge which is arranged in the chamber in a recessed manner relative to the light exit opening and thus also the cover plate.
- a wide gap for light passage is formed between the cover plate and the cutting edge, through which the light emitted by the one lamp also reaches the areas of the light exit opening located in front of the other lamp and radiates through the cover plate and generates the bar effect.
- the light exit opening after the fender is advantageously arched, which is already the case with most of the lamp units which are adapted to the vehicle body and are thus cut at an angle.
- the turn signal lamp is provided with an orange filter located on the light side in front of the turn signal light source, so that the turn signal light is clearly perceptible even when the parking light is switched on.
- the electrical circuit arrangement on which the lamp arrangement is based with respect to the parking light is designed such that when the light formed by one reflector or, in the case of a plurality of reflectors arranged next to one another, the respective outer reflector, in particular the low beam in a headlight arrangement and the tail light in a rear light arrangement, the Parking light is automatically switched on.
- the parking light also forms the parking light.
- Fig. 3 a rear light assembly.
- the headlight arrangement shown in FIG. 1 for the front end of a vehicle has in each headlight housing 1 a headlight for the low beam 2 with a reflector 3 and a radiation shield 4, which is arranged in front of a gas discharge lamp arranged in the latter but not visible in the illustration, a headlight for the high beam 5 with a reflector 6 and a gas discharge lamp 7 and a reflector chamber 8 with a flashing light 9 and a parking light 10.
- the latter two lights 9 and 10 have a common light exit opening 11 which extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle and is wider than the width determined by the two reflectors 3 and 6.
- the headlight arrangement, including the reflector chamber 8, is covered by a transparent lens 12 which is flush with the vehicle body.
- a reflector 13 with an incandescent lamp 14 and an orange-colored one arranged in front of it on the light exit side Filters 15 for forming the turn signal lamp 9 and a reflector 16 with an incandescent lamp 17 for forming the parking lamp 10 are arranged.
- the reflectors 13 and 16 are arranged next to one another in such a way that their mutually facing wall regions 13.1 and 16.1 penetrate on a cutting line and form a cutting edge 18.
- Fig. 2 also shows that the lens 12 is too slightly curved according to the body course to the fender. This ensures in a simple manner that the light emerging from the light exit opening 11 is also perceived from a side view of the vehicle.
- two taillight units are shown in Rondoptik, in which two larger receptacles 20 and 21 for reflectors and lamps, not shown, are arranged side by side, in each of which a further concentrically arranged inner receptacle 22 and 23 with a reflector and a lamp for another signal lamp is arranged.
- respective receptacle 20 forms an annular tail light, combined with a brake light, the brake light being superimposed on its brightness when the tail light is switched on and clearly recognizable as such.
- the circuit of the headlight arrangement according to FIG. 1 and the rear light unit according to FIG. 3 provides that when the low beam 2 arranged on the outside in the headlight arrangement and the outside in the rear light unit are switched on by the Recording 20 formed tail light automatically the respective parking light 10, 28 is switched on. This also provides the parking light.
- the resulting characteristic appearance is formed from a luminous circular area (2, 20) and a luminous bar arranged below each of these, this bar extending far beyond the respective circular area to the center of the vehicle.
