DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION
TITRE : Module de signalisation de jour pour véhicules automobiles et ensemble d'éclairage et de signalisation comprenant ledit module TITLE: Daytime signaling module for motor vehicles and lighting and signaling assembly comprising said module
[0001] L’invention s’applique au domaine de l’éclairage et de la signalisation des véhicules automobiles. [0001] The invention applies to the field of automotive vehicle lighting and signaling.
[0002] Plus précisément, l’invention concerne un module de signalisation de feux de jour ou feux diurnes (dits DRL pour « Daytime Running Lights ») destiné à équiper les véhicules automobiles ainsi qu’un ensemble d’éclairage et de signalisation comprenant ledit module. [0002] More specifically, the invention relates to a module for signaling daytime running lights or daytime running lights (called DRL for "Daytime Running Lights") intended to equip motor vehicles as well as a lighting and signaling assembly comprising said module.
[0003] De manière traditionnelle, les véhicules automobiles sont équipés, sur leur face avant, de modules d’éclairage (projecteur, codes, feux de route) et de modules de signalisation (feux de jour dits « DRL », identificateur de direction, clignotant, ...). Chaque module comprend un système électronique (par exemple, une carte de circuit imprimé) pilotant une ou plusieurs sources d’éclairage sous forme de lampes (halogène, xénon, LED, ...) associées à un système optique (lentille, réflecteur ...). [0003] Traditionally, motor vehicles are equipped, on their front face, with lighting modules (headlamp, codes, high beam) and signaling modules (so-called "DRL" daytime running lights, direction identifier, turn signal, ...). Each module includes an electronic system (for example, a printed circuit board) controlling one or more lighting sources in the form of lamps (halogen, xenon, LED, etc.) associated with an optical system (lens, reflector, etc. .).
[0004] Les composants électroniques et optiques propres à chaque module sont encapsulés dans des boîtiers indépendants obturés chacun par une glace fixée généralement par soudure. [0004] The electronic and optical components specific to each module are encapsulated in independent boxes each closed by a glass generally fixed by welding.
[0005] Ainsi, aujourd’hui sur certains véhicules, le boîtier du module de signalisation de jour (DRL) est logé dans le boîtier du projecteur. [0005] Thus, today on certain vehicles, the housing of the daytime signaling module (DRL) is housed in the housing of the headlight.
[0006] Cependant, du fait que chaque module possède son interface de fixation, l’assemblage des boîtiers respectifs du projecteur et des feux de jour puis de l’ensemble avec sa glace obturante sur la carrosserie, sont des opérations délicates car elles nécessitent un positionnement relatif et une intégration parfaite entre les modules. [0007] En effet, une fois assemblés sur la structure du véhicule, les modules doivent coïncider pour, à la fois, garantir un bon iso-statisme, une étanchéité fiable et offrir un aspect cohérent, jointif et uniforme respectant les lignes du style extérieur du véhicule. However, the fact that each module has its fixing interface, the assembly of the respective housings of the projector and the daytime running lights and then of the assembly with its closing glass on the bodywork, are delicate operations because they require a relative positioning and perfect integration between modules. [0007] Indeed, once assembled on the structure of the vehicle, the modules must coincide in order, at the same time, to guarantee a good iso-droop, a reliable seal and to offer a coherent, contiguous and uniform appearance respecting the lines of the exterior style. of the vehicle.
[0008] En outre, les boîtiers des modules de projecteur à lampes halogènes et les boîtiers des modules de projecteur à LED sont structurellement différents ce qui impose de réaliser des boîtiers de module de signalisation de jour (DRL) adaptés à chaque type de projecteur. [0008] In addition, the housings of the halogen lamp projector modules and the housings of the LED projector modules are structurally different, which means that daylighting module housings (DRL) adapted to each type of projector must be produced.
[0009] Toutefois, tant les boîtiers de projecteurs halogènes que les boîtiers de projecteurs LED possèdent une gorge périphérique destinée à la fixation de la glace dont la structure est identique sur les deux types de boîtier. [0009] However, both halogen headlamp housings and LED headlamp housings have a peripheral groove intended for fixing the glass, the structure of which is identical on the two types of housing.
[0010] Dans ce contexte, il s’est avéré nécessaire d’apporter une solution technique globale permettant d’assurer l’intégration d’un module de signalisation de jour compatible avec les différents modules de projecteurs, sans modifier les effets de style, ni compromettre la fiabilité de l’assemblage. In this context, it has proved necessary to provide a global technical solution to ensure the integration of a daytime signaling module compatible with the various headlight modules, without modifying the stylistic effects, nor compromise the reliability of the assembly.
[0011] La présente invention a précisément pour objectif de résoudre ce problème technique et de répondre au besoin exprimé en proposant un module de signalisation de jour qui porte des moyens de fixation coopérant avec des moyens de retenue réalisés de façon identique sur les boîtiers des deux types de projecteurs. The object of the present invention is precisely to solve this technical problem and to respond to the expressed need by providing a daytime signaling module which carries fixing means cooperating with retaining means made identically on the housings of the two types of projectors.
[0012] Ce but est atteint au moyen d’un module de signalisation de jour pour véhicules automobiles, destiné à être intégré dans un boîtier de projecteur obturé par une glace et pourvu d’une gorge périphérique recevant le bord de ladite glace, caractérisé en ce que le module de signalisation de jour comprend, sur son bord supérieur et ses bords latéraux, des organes d’accrochage destinés à être emboîtés dans ladite gorge périphérique en partie haute du boîtier de projecteur avant la fixation de ladite glace. This object is achieved by means of a daytime signaling module for motor vehicles, intended to be integrated into a headlight housing closed by a glass and provided with a peripheral groove receiving the edge of said glass, characterized in that the daytime signaling module comprises, on its upper edge and its side edges, hooking members intended to be fitted into said peripheral groove in the upper part of the headlight housing before fixing said glass.
[0013] Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, les organes d’accrochage comprennent au moins deux pattes supérieures s’étendant de façon sensiblement horizontale et au moins deux pattes latérales s’étendant de façon sensiblement verticale. [0013] According to a preferred embodiment, the fastening members comprise at least two upper tabs extending substantially horizontal and at least two side legs extending substantially vertically.
[0014] Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, le module de signalisation DRL de l’invention comprend une nervure longitudinale de rigidification. [0014] According to an advantageous characteristic, the DRL signaling module of the invention comprises a longitudinal stiffening rib.
[0015] Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, le module DRL de l’invention comprend, sur son bord inférieur, une échancrure centrale destinée à recevoir une languette de support solidaire de la face interne de la glace. [0015] According to another advantageous characteristic, the DRL module of the invention comprises, on its lower edge, a central notch intended to receive a support tab integral with the internal face of the mirror.
[0016] Un autre objet de l’invention est un ensemble d’éclairage et de signalisation pour véhicules automobiles, comprenant, d’une part, un boîtier de projecteur obturé par une glace et pourvu d’une gorge périphérique dans laquelle est fixé le bord de ladite glace et, d’autre part, un module de signalisation de jour (DRL) tel que défini ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce que ledit module de signalisation de jour est retenu dans la partie haute du boîtier de projecteur par ses organes d’accrochage dans la gorge périphérique du boîtier de projecteur et en ce que la glace est pourvue, sur sa face interne, d’une languette de support dudit module (DRL). Another object of the invention is a lighting and signaling assembly for motor vehicles, comprising, on the one hand, a headlight housing closed by a glass and provided with a peripheral groove in which is fixed the edge of said window and, on the other hand, a daytime signaling module (DRL) as defined above, characterized in that said daytime signaling module is retained in the upper part of the headlight housing by its members hooking in the peripheral groove of the headlight housing and in that the lens is provided, on its internal face, with a support tab for said module (DRL).
[0017] Selon une première variante de cet ensemble, le boîtier de projecteur est un boîtier de projecteur à lampes Led. [0017] According to a first variant of this assembly, the projector housing is a projector housing with Led lamps.
[0018] Selon une seconde variante de cet ensemble, le boîtier de projecteur est un boîtier de projecteur à lampes halogène. [0018] According to a second variant of this assembly, the projector housing is a projector housing with halogen lamps.
[0019] Encore un autre objet de l’invention est un procédé d’assemblage d’un ensemble d’éclairage et de signalisation tel que défini ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce qu’on introduit les organes d’accrochage du module de signalisation DRL dans la gorge périphérique sur la partie haute du boîtier de projecteur et on applique un adhésif sur le pourtour de la glace ou dans ladite gorge, puis on engage le pourtour de ladite glace dans ladite gorge en emprisonnant le bord supérieur du module de signalisation de jour (DRL). [0020] Selon une caractéristique de ce procédé, lors de l’engagement du pourtour de la glace dans la gorge, le module de signalisation (DRL) est relevé et mis sous contraintes par ladite glace. Yet another object of the invention is a method of assembling a lighting and signaling assembly as defined above, characterized in that the hooking members of the signaling module are introduced DRL in the peripheral groove on the upper part of the headlight housing and an adhesive is applied to the periphery of the lens or in said groove, then the periphery of said lens is engaged in said groove by trapping the upper edge of the signaling module of day (DRL). [0020] According to one characteristic of this method, when the periphery of the ice is engaged in the groove, the signaling module (DRL) is raised and put under stress by said glass.
[0021] Un dernier objet de l’invention est un véhicule automobile équipé d’un ensemble d’éclairage et de signalisation présentant les caractéristiques définies ci- dessus. [0021] A final object of the invention is a motor vehicle equipped with a lighting and signaling assembly having the characteristics defined above.
[0022] L’invention trouve donc son application tant pour les projecteurs à lampes LED qu’à lampes halogène en intégrant un même module de signalisation rapporté. Ce module est complet et monobloc et est fabriqué de façon indépendante du boîtier de projecteur à l’intérieur duquel il est destiné à être logé. [0022] The invention therefore finds its application both for projectors with LED lamps and with halogen lamps by integrating the same reported signaling module. This module is complete and monobloc and is manufactured independently of the projector housing inside which it is intended to be housed.
[0023] Par conséquent, l’invention offre un gain économique et une plus grande simplicité d’assemblage puisque la fixation du module de signalisation est réalisée dans la gorge du boîtier du projecteur par collage ou soudure en même temps que la glace. [0023] Therefore, the invention offers economic gain and greater ease of assembly since the fixing of the signaling module is made in the groove of the projector housing by gluing or welding at the same time as the glass.
[0024] En outre, l’invention permet de garantir l’indexation du module de signalisation DRL dans le boîtier du projecteur puisque sa position et son orientation sont directement liées à celles de la glace qui sont nécessairement très précises. [0024] In addition, the invention ensures the indexing of the DRL signaling module in the projector housing since its position and orientation are directly related to those of the glass which are necessarily very precise.
[0025] D’autres caractéristiques et avantages de l’invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, en référence aux figures annexées et détaillées ci-après.

[0041] Le boîtier de projecteur 2 est pourvu, de manière traditionnelle, d’une gorge périphérique 20 recevant le bord de la glace 3. L’invention vise à permettre l’intégration d’un même module 1 de signalisation DRL dans des boîtiers de projecteur à lampes Led ou à lampes halogène qui comportent tous deux une gorge périphérique 20 de fixation d’une glace 3 d’obturation.

In the embodiment shown here by Figures 3A, 3B and 4A, 4B, these fastening members include at least two upper legs 11 extending substantially horizontally and at least two side legs 12 extending substantially vertically. It is specified that these orientations refer to the position of module 1 after mounting the lighting assembly E on a vehicle.
[0044] Le module 1 de signalisation est ainsi retenu à l’intérieur du boîtier de projecteur 2 dans sa partie haute par les organes d’accrochage avant d’être solidarisé définitivement au boîtier 1 par collage simultané de la glace 3 et des pattes 11, 12 prises en sandwich dans la gorge périphérique 20. [0045] Le cas échéant, le fond de la gorge 20 est pourvu d’encoches dans lesquelles sont enfoncées et calées les extrémités des pattes 11, 12, comme illustré par les figures 3A et 4A. The signaling module 1 is thus retained inside the headlight housing 2 in its upper part by the fastening members before being permanently secured to the housing 1 by simultaneous gluing of the glass 3 and the tabs 11 , 12 sandwiched in the peripheral groove 20. If necessary, the bottom of the groove 20 is provided with notches in which the ends of the tabs 11, 12 are pressed and wedged, as illustrated in Figures 3A and 4A.
[0046] Le module 1 comprend également une nervure longitudinale 14 de rigidification et présente, sur son bord inférieur, une échancrure centrale 13 destinée à recevoir une languette 31 de support solidaire de la face interne de la glace 3 (représentée sur les figures 5 et 6B). The module 1 also comprises a longitudinal rib 14 for stiffening and has, on its lower edge, a central notch 13 intended to receive a support tongue 31 integral with the internal face of the glass 3 (shown in Figures 5 and 6B).
[0047] En effet, une fois ancré dans la gorge 20, le module 1 de signalisation a toutefois tendance à basculer vers l’avant et vers le bas par gravité en raison de sa masse. Ce phénomène est d’autant plus critique que les quatre pattes d’accrochage 11, 12 sont situées en périphérie du module 1 et présentent une certaine élasticité. La languette 31 de la glace 3 permet de remédier à ce problème et de relever le module 1 en rectifiant son orientation, comme illustré par la figure 6B. [0047] Indeed, once anchored in the groove 20, the signaling module 1, however, tends to tilt forwards and downwards by gravity due to its mass. This phenomenon is all the more critical since the four fastening tabs 11, 12 are located on the periphery of the module 1 and have a certain elasticity. The tongue 31 of the glass 3 makes it possible to remedy this problem and to raise the module 1 by correcting its orientation, as illustrated in FIG. 6B.
[0048] Le procédé d’assemblage des trois composants de l’ensemble E d’éclairage et de signalisation de l’invention consiste, comme illustré par la figure 6A, d’abord à introduire les pattes 11, 12 d’accrochage du module de signalisation DRL dans la gorge périphérique 20 sur la partie haute du boîtier 2 de projecteur. Conjointement, un adhésif est appliqué sur le pourtour de la glace 3 ou dans la gorge 20, puis on engage le pourtour de la glace 3 dans la gorge 20 en emprisonnant le bord supérieur du module 1 de signalisation (DRL) et en coiffant simultanément le boîtier 2 de projecteur et le module 1. The method of assembling the three components of the lighting and signaling assembly E of the invention consists, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, first of all in introducing the tabs 11, 12 for hooking the module DRL signaling in the peripheral groove 20 on the upper part of the headlight housing 2. At the same time, an adhesive is applied to the periphery of the lens 3 or in the groove 20, then the periphery of the lens 3 is engaged in the groove 20 by trapping the upper edge of the signaling module 1 (DRL) and simultaneously covering the projector housing 2 and module 1.
[0049] Lors de l’engagement du pourtour de la glace 3 dans la gorge 20, le module 1 de signalisation DRL est relevé et mis sous contraintes par l’action de la languette 31 contre la nervure 14 à l’intérieur de l’échancrure 13, comme illustré par la figure 6B. During the engagement of the periphery of the glass 3 in the groove 20, the DRL signaling module 1 is raised and put under stress by the action of the tongue 31 against the rib 14 inside the notch 13, as illustrated in Figure 6B.
