Description

The present invention relates to a light module for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such a light module is from the EP 2 405 187 A1 known and has at least two separately arranged light sources, each with a separate primary optics for each light source that bundles outgoing light from the respective light source. The light module furthermore has a diaphragm arrangement arranged in the beam path of the at least two light sources and a secondary optics projecting the light of the light sources bundled by the primary optics into the apron of the light module. A first of the two light sources is arranged, together with its primary optics, offset both in the direction of the optical axis of the light module and in a second direction perpendicular thereto relative to a second of the two light sources and their primary optics.

Such a light module is used in headlamps of motor vehicles. Headlamps are located in the front area of a vehicle and serve primarily to illuminate the area in front of the vehicle, e.g. in the form of a low-beam, long-distance or fog light distribution and in the form of adaptive light distributions that can be adapted to specific ambient and / or driving situations, such as, for example, dynamic cornering light, bad weather light, city light, highway light, motorway light. The purpose of the illumination is to illuminate obstacles in the track so that the driver can recognize them in good time. In addition, headlamps also fulfill signal functions by making the vehicle visible to other road users.

The light source is realized in the form of an incandescent lamp, gas discharge lamp or semiconductor light source. The primary optics can be designed as concave mirror reflectors that reflect the light by means of conventional reflection. The reflectors preferably have an ellipsoidal basic shape, which bundle the light of a light source arranged in a focal point of the reflector into a first, inner light distribution. However, the primary optics can also be designed as translucent bodies of glass or plastic (referred to as TIR attachment optics), the bundling of the light then being refracted upon entry into the body and / or exit from the body and / or internal total reflections Boundaries of the body takes place.

The known light module works according to the projection principle, in which the first, inner light distribution is projected by a converging lens as a second, external light distribution in the apron of the headlamp, ie in a motor vehicle headlight in particular on the road.

The light sources are realized in the known light module as LEDs, and they are there on different sides of the optical axis. A first light source is above the optical axis, while the second light source is below the optical axis. The upper light source, together with its primary optics concave reflector and the condenser lens, provide a high light distribution above a horizon, while the lower light source, together with its reflector and condenser lens, has a lower light distribution for the most part below the horizon of the headlight generated. The two light distributions are axisymmetric to the horizon and each have the same shape and size.

The location "top" and "bottom" and "horizon" refer to the intended use of the headlamp in a motor vehicle.

In order to generate a high beam distribution, both light sources are operated together, the aperture being pivoted out of the first light distribution. In order to produce a low-beam distribution, only the lower light distribution is generated, which additionally has an upper bright-dark boundary, which is produced by the aperture swung into the first light distribution.

Other headlamps are known as adaptive front lighting systems (AFS) for generating adaptable to the driving situation light distributions.

In particular, concepts are known in which the respective adaptations are realized on the one hand on a mechanical basis (for example pivoting, diaphragm movement, etc.) and on the other hand on an electronic basis (for example switching on and off of light sources).

The object of the invention is to provide a light module, in particular an adaptive light functions supporting AFS light module, which allows an adjustment of the range of the outgoing from the headlight beam for lighting functions such as the high beam, a Teilfernlicht, a marker light or other light distributions that above the im have substantially horizontally extending light-dark boundary of a highway light distribution lying bright areas.

It is also desirable that this be achieved with the smallest possible secondary optics (convergent lens, projection lens) in order to achieve a slim appearance in the vertical direction.

In addition, the light module should also require as little space as possible in the horizontal direction.

From the above-mentioned prior art after EP 2 405 187 A1 The invention distinguishes itself by the characterizing features of claim 1. These provide that the primary optics located farther away from the secondary optics in the direction of the optical axis is arranged to provide a broader light distribution in a third direction perpendicular to the optical axis and to the second direction generate as the closer in the direction of the optical axis closer to the secondary optics, and this is arranged and arranged to produce a focused on a center of the broader light distribution narrower light distribution.

When the headlamp is used as intended in a motor vehicle, the optical axis is largely parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The second direction is parallel to a vertical axis and thus represents a vertical direction. The third direction is parallel to a transverse axis of the vehicle and therefore represents a horizontal direction.

The offset (distance) of the two light sources along the optical axis allows the light bundles of the rear, further away from the secondary optics remote primary optics and the front primary optics in the vertical direction directly adjacent to each other. This allows the construction of a maximum light intensity maximum given the given light sources and primary optics at a given lens height.

Overall, a light module is provided by the invention, which has a high efficiency, is flexible in use and is constructed compact.

A preferred embodiment provides that the at least two primary optics are set up and arranged to bundle the light of a light source arranged in a focal point of the primary optics into a first, inner light distribution, and that the primary optics and the secondary optics are configured and arranged such that a rectilinear connection of the edge emanating from an edge of the secondary optics and crossing the center of the inner light distribution with a primary optic always meets a reflection surface of the primary optics.

These features ensure that the primary optics facing light entrance surface of the secondary optics is illuminated by the light bundles of the primary optics to the edge. The secondary optics is therefore not unnecessarily large, so that this feature contributes to a desired slim appearance of the light module.

It is further provided that the semiconductor light sources are arranged in the light module such that their main emission direction is tilted to a vertical axis by 0 ° to 45 ° counter to the direction of travel of the vehicle.

The emission direction of the semiconductor light sources thus points in each case in the same half-space upwards, or obliquely upwards and backwards into the depth of the light module. As a result of this emission direction of the light sources, more radiation of the LEDs radiating into the half-space can be absorbed by the reflectors and directed forward in the desired emission directions than in the case of a purely vertical emission direction.

Due to the obliquely tilted back to the rear emission directions of the light sources, thus pointing away from the light entrance surface of the secondary optics, and by a suitably inclined arrangement of the primary optics, there is the further advantage that the most energetic part of the beam path in a Hauptabstrahlrichtung close to the optical axis of the Secondary optics is directed along. A proximity is understood here in particular a distance of up to 3 cm.

This has the advantage that the largest part of the light energy emanating from the light sources can pass through the secondary optics even with a secondary optics built very small in the vertical direction and contributes to the generation of an illuminance maximum. This leads to a particularly compact light module, which does not have a large extent horizontally and vertically.

In a preferred embodiment, it is further provided that the at least two primary optics are designed as concave mirror reflectors.

The reflectors are just like the light sources in the direction of travel and vertical direction offset from each other. The reflector arranged farther back in the light module preferably produces a rather broad light distribution, the reflector arranged farther forward in the light module preferably produces a rather narrow light distribution focused on the illumination center. The arrangement of the reflectors is selected such that the reflector arranged further in the front of the light module does not shade or scarcely shades the light beams emanating from the reflector arranged farther in the light module.

It is also preferred that the light module is adapted to the narrower light distribution in a horizontal angle range of less than +/- 5 ° to focus.

The origin of the coordinate system to which these angles refer, lies at the intersection of a horizontal, which is in the installation height of the light module in front of the vehicle, and a vertical which intersects an extension of the optical axis of the light module. This applies to all comparable angle specifications in this application, unless another angle is mentioned for this angle.

Furthermore, it is preferred that the light module is adapted to focus the wider light distribution in a horizontal angle range of more than +/- 5 °, in particular more than +/- 10 °.

It is also preferred that the light module is adapted to focus the narrower light distribution in the vertical direction in an angular range of less than +/- 5 ° and thereby to generate the maximum of the intensity in the positive range of the angle values.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the diaphragm arrangement is designed as a diaphragm roller.

The diaphragm roller has a plurality of different diaphragm contours on its outer circumference. It is rotatable about a horizontal, perpendicular to the optical axis of the light module axis and serves to generate a light-dark boundary in the light distribution. Depending on the rotational position, different diaphragm edges, which protrude into the first light distribution or also do not protrude and which limit the first light distribution in this way or not. In the case of limitation, the diaphragm edges are projected as a light-dark boundary into the second light distribution. For light functions in which even above the set for a normal low-beam light distribution still bright illumination is desired (eg motorway light, adaptive headlamp leveling, Teilfernlicht, marker light, high beam), opens the aperture roller and thus in different stages the way for light rays also from the further forward in the light module arranged reflector freely. For these light functions, then e.g. the light source located farther forward in the light module can be switched on or dimmed if necessary to produce more light or a higher maximum illuminance, e.g. in the center of the light distribution to produce a longer range. For a normal low beam function, the cut-off threshold is set to a value of 1% below the horizon. It then lies on a 10 m distance in front of the motor vehicle mounted screen 10 cm below the headlight installation height.

Further advantages will be apparent from the dependent claims, the description and the attached figures.

It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

9 one through the configuration of 8th generated light distribution on a screen.

1 shows a highly schematic representation of a light module according to the invention 10 , The light module 10 is preferably part of a motor vehicle headlight with an adaptive frontlighting system (AFS). This means that the headlight supports adaptive lighting functions such as adaptive headlamp leveling and / or adaptive headlights. For this purpose, the light module 10 or parts of it too be arranged horizontally and / or vertically pivotable in the headlight.

In a preferred embodiment, the light module 10 two light sources designed as semiconductor light sources, in particular as light emitting diodes 12.1 and 12.2 on, with respect to the optical axis of the light module 10 horizontally and vertically offset from each other on a common heat sink 14 are arranged. The light module 10 could also have more than two light sources 12 could also have at least one light source 12 a light-emitting diode array, that is, a plurality of light-emitting diodes combined to form a unit. At least one of the two light sources 12.1 and 12.2 is dimmable in a preferred embodiment. Incidentally, the two light sources are individually controllable at least insofar as they can be switched on and off individually and thus independently of one another.

The offset (distance) of the light sources on the optical axis makes it possible to allow the light bundles of the reflector arranged further back in the light module and the reflector arranged further in the front of the light module to adjoin one another directly in the vertical direction. This makes it possible to build up the illuminance maximum for a given cross section of the secondary optics. The illuminance maximum can alternatively be generated by superposition of at least two light bundles.

The light sources 12.1 and 12.2 are on the heat sink 14 arranged such that their emission direction counter to the direction of travel of the vehicle or the light exit direction of the light module 10 tilted runs, with both light sources radiate in the same half-space. Preferably, an angle α of 0 ° to 45 ° in relation to a vertical axis, in the selected representation in the plane of the drawing and perpendicular to the optical axis 24 runs. The angle α can be different in size for both light sources. The angle α can also be the same size for both light sources.

In emission direction of the light sources 12.1 and 12.2 is in each case a trained here as a concave reflector primary optics 16.1 and 16.2 arranged. Alternatively, provides a further embodiment based on the principle of total internal reflection optics of light-conducting material, as the primary optics. Every reflector 16.1 and 16.2 , or any primary optics, may have the form of an ellipsoid or an arithmetically calculated freeform. It is preferred in each case that the at least two primary optics are set up and arranged for bundling the light of a light source arranged in a focal point of the primary optics into a first, inner light distribution. This is done, for example, by an ellipsoid. The internal light distribution is an internal light distribution because it is generated inside the light module between the primary optics and the secondary optics. It results preferably at a distance of a focal length of the primary optics of the primary optics and at a distance of a focal length of the secondary optics of the secondary optics.

The at the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 reflected light bundle 18.1 and 18.2 meet in a focal point or a focal plane 20 and generate the first light distribution there. In order to achieve this, the position of the light source is in each case 12.1 and 12.2 relative to the respective reflector 16.1 and 16.2 and the shape of the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 coordinated accordingly. In the 1 illustrated arrows 18.1 and 18.2 show a Hauptabstrahlrichtung of the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 reflected light.

In the area of the focal plane 20 is an aperture arrangement 22 in the light module 10 positioned so that it limits the first light distribution so that the boundary is displayed as a light-dark boundary in the second light distribution. The diaphragm arrangement is in the in 1 shown embodiment designed as a diaphragm roller. The iris roller 22 has several different aperture contours on its outer circumference (not visible). It is about a horizontal, perpendicular to an optical axis 24 of the light module 10 and perpendicular to the plane of the drawing axis rotatable and serves to create a light-dark boundary by shading a portion of the inner light distribution. One in the beam path of the light module 10 hinged aperture plate is also possible, wherein an upper edge of a vertically arranged aperture plate or a leading edge of a more along the optical axis aligned aperture plate creates the cut-off line. By means of controlled moving diaphragms the position of the cut-off line can be adjusted, for example to switch between dipped beam and main beam or between different dipped beam distributions.

In the further course, the light bundles hit 18.1 and 18.2 on a secondary optics 26 , In the 1 illustrated secondary optics 26 In the illustrated embodiment, two lenses are included, each of which is designed as an optical meniscus and act in its entirety as a converging lens. Such a lens arrangement can serve, in addition to the focusing effect, for example for the correction of aberrations.

The secondary optics 26 projects those in the light module 10 generated and possibly limited by the aperture arrangement inner light distribution on the roadway, or in the apron before the light module 10 , The secondary optics is realized in an alternative embodiment as a single lens.

Such a trained light module 10 represents a projection module of a motor vehicle headlight and is basically suitable for the realization of headlight functions of any kind and in particular also of adaptive headlight functions.

Such a light module 10 is arranged either alone or together with other light modules in a housing of the headlamp. A desired light distribution can be generated by a single light module or else by a plurality of light modules and by superposition of the partial light distributions emitted by them.

When using only a single light module, in particular when using semiconductor light sources, a plurality of separately arranged semiconductor light sources, each with associated primary optics in the light module can be provided, each light source generates a partial light distribution. An overall light distribution is generated by adjoining partial light distributions or by superposition of the partial light distributions.

2 shows the light module 10 with a representation of geometric features of the light module 10 , The two primary optics 16.1 . 16.2 are arranged by their shape and their arrangement that one emanating from an edge of secondary optics and the center 20 the inner light distribution crossing rectilinear connection of the edge with a primary optics always meets a reflection surface of the primary optics. In the figure, meet from an edge of the light entry surface 30 the secondary optics 26 outgoing and the center 20 the inner light distribution crossing straight lines 32.1 and 32.2 always on a light reflecting surface of one of the two reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 , The lines should strike in such a way that, if they were light rays, they would be reflected onto the respective light source associated with the reflector.

In light exit direction 28 does that mean the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 are formed such that the of the light sources 12.1 and 12.2 outgoing light at such an angle on the reflector 16.1 or 16.2 is reflected that the reflected light bundles 18.1 and 18.2 essentially between the borderlines 32.1 and 32.2 run and on the light entry surface 30 the secondary optics 26 to meet. Such a design of the light module 10 leads to a particularly compact embodiment.

The focal plane, or the center 20 the internal light distribution is in the area of the diaphragm arrangement 22 , In the in 2 The illustration shown is the diaphragm arrangement 22 shown in a rotary position for light functions without light-dark boundary (eg for the generation of partial high beam, high beam, etc.).

3 clarifies relationships that are considered in the design of the light module. In a new development of a light module, the size and shape of the secondary optics are often first given to achieve a desired design of the light module, or a headlamp. Therefore, it is from an imaginary, photometrically relevant surface 33 the secondary optics 26 outgoing and in a backward calculation the arrangement and shape of the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 and the light sources 12.1 and 12.2 determined, with which a desired lighting performance is achieved. The photometric relevant surface is here a primary optics facing light entrance surface of the secondary optics. When designing the shape, size and arrangement of the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 Whether they are TIR-mounted optics or concave reflectors, their focal lengths are in consideration of a spacing of the light sources 12.1 and 12.2 to the respective reflector 16.1 and 16.2 adjust accordingly. The training of the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 formed focal plane 20 is in a projection module in principle in the field of aperture arrangement 22 , In addition, all at the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 reflected light rays 18.1 and 18.2 especially with open panel arrangement 22 essentially within the boundary lines 32.1 and 32.2 lie to the light module 10 to achieve a good efficiency.

In the design of the primary optics, their focal lengths must be adjusted accordingly, taking into account a distance between the light sources and the respective primary optics. In each case, a focal point or a focal plane of the primary optics should lie in the region of the diaphragm arrangement in order to achieve a concentrated first, inner light distribution.

This provides the advantage that, at least when the light distribution is not dimmed, a very large proportion of the light emanating from light sources strikes the secondary optics and is directed by the latter onto the roadway. Virtually no light is lost due to unwanted shading or absorption of components of the light module. This leads to a high-intensity light module with a high efficiency (ratio of the light output arriving in the desired light distribution to the light output emitted by the light sources).

A possible constructive freedom to achieve the desired photometric performance is on the one hand in the definition of Focal lengths of the primary optics and on the other hand in the horizontal and vertical offset of the light sources with the associated primary optics, ie essentially the distance of the respective primary optics to secondary optics. By suitably coordinating the respective focal length of the primary optics and the respective distance of the primary optics to the secondary optics, it can be achieved that a narrow, strongly bundled light bundle achieves the secondary optics, which preferably leads to the secondary optics with a small cross section being able to be formed.

4 shows the light module 10 with the light source switched on 12.2 at the rear of the light module 10 is arranged. The light source 12.1 in the front area of the light module 10 is switched off. That from the light source 12.2 emitted light is at the reflector 16.2 reflected and then on the aperture arrangement 22 away to secondary optics 26 directed. Due to the arrangement and design of the reflector 16.2 the reflected light reaches completely in particular on the in 4 lower area of the light entry surface 30 the secondary optics 26 , All of the reflector 16.2 reflected light rays arrive within the boundary lines 32.1 and 32.2 on the secondary optics 26 , There is thus no unused stray light, whereby a high efficiency is achieved.

5 shows a through the arrangement of 4 Generable light distribution 34 with open panel arrangement 22 on a screen, located in front of the light module 10 located in the beam. The line H represents the horizon. The line V is a vertical which intersects the horizon at 0 °. The HV point (0, 0) lies, for example, in an extension of the optical axis 24 ,

This light distribution is essentially a high beam distribution which has a width of more than +/- 5 °, in particular more than +/- 10 ° in a horizontal angle range.

6 shows the light module 10 with the light source switched on 12.1 in the front area of the light module 10 is arranged. The light source 12.2 in the rear area of the light module 10 is switched off. That from the light source 12.1 emitted light is at the reflector 16.1 reflected and then on the aperture arrangement 22 away to secondary optics 26 directed. Due to the arrangement and design of the reflector 16.1 the reflected light reaches completely in particular on the in 6 upper area of the light entry surface 30 the secondary optics 26 , All of the reflector 16.1 reflected light rays arrive within the boundary lines 32.1 and 32.2 on the secondary optics 26 , There is no unused stray light.

7 shows a through the arrangement of 6 with open panel arrangement 22 Generable light distribution 36 , 7 essentially shows a spotlight distribution. This is an example of a narrower light distribution that is focused in a horizontal angle range of less than +/- 5 °.

In the illustrated case, the light module is further configured to focus the narrower light distribution in the vertical direction in an angular range of less than +/- 5 ° and thereby to generate the maximum of the intensity in the positive range of the angle values.

These properties result from the fact that the primary optics arranged further in the direction of the optical axis are set up to produce a wider light distribution in a third direction perpendicular to the optical axis and to the second direction than those closer to the optical axis Secondary optics lying primary optics, which is arranged and arranged to produce a focused on a center of the broader light distribution narrower light distribution.

In general, the luminance of the corresponding light source is decisive for building up a maximum illuminance. If the luminance of a light source is not sufficient to achieve a required maximum illuminance in the light distribution, can be used for the light source 12.2 , but possibly also for the light source 12.1 , multiple LEDs are used whose light source images are brought to overlap.

8th shows the light module 10 with the light source switched on 12.1 and switched on light source 12.2 , From the light sources 12.1 and 12.2 Outgoing light is on secondary optics 26 directed. Due to the arrangement and design of the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 the reflected light reaches completely the area of the light entry surface 30 the secondary optics 26 , All of the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 reflected light rays arrive within the boundary lines 32.1 and 32.2 on the secondary optics 26 , The light module 10 thus has a high efficiency.

9 shows a through the arrangement of 8th with open panel arrangement 22 (not in the inner light distribution protruding) producible light distribution 38 , 9 shows a superposition of the two by the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 generated light distributions (high beam and spot light), wherein in 9 By way of example, the illuminance in the center of the light distribution is particularly emphasized. This can, for example, to change the beam range in the context of adaptive Headlamp leveling. Here, the light module need 10 or the reflectors 16.1 or 16.2 not designed to be vertically pivotable. It is also possible, however, that the reflectors 16.1 and 16.2 bordered light beam in the total light distribution adjacent to each other.

The light module presented here is suitable for use in lighting equipment with an adaptive frontlighting system (AFS).

The light module shown here allows different light functions by switching off or on, but also by not abruptly increasing and decreasing the luminous flux in the front area of the light module 10 arranged light source 12.1 to the desired generation of the spotlight adaptively and can be controlled very precisely.

By reducing the luminous flux (dimming) in the rear area of the light module 10 arranged light source 12.2 can be emphasized in the light distribution, the center or the light distribution. On the one hand, if required, the wider main beam distribution can be achieved by reducing the luminous flux of the rear light source 12.2 attenuated by the front light source 12.1 made spotlight emerge stronger.

On the other hand, by increasing the luminous flux of the rear light source 12.2 the edge area of the light distribution are emphasized more. By increasing the luminous flux of at least one of the light sources, for example the light source located further back in the light module, it is possible, for example in the course of an adaptive headlamp leveling or an adaptive curve light, to change the luminous range and / or emphasize the side illumination. This can be adaptively controlled by evaluating operating values of the vehicle, such as a speed, a steering angle, a yaw rate and / or a longitudinal inclination of the vehicle. Camera signals or GPS signals can also be evaluated and processed into control signals.

That from the rear light source 12.2 Outgoing light represents a broad basic light distribution for high-beam functions. By adaptively increasing the luminous flux of the at least one light source located further forward, eg a large illuminance maximum, for example in the center of the light distribution, can be generated, for example in the case of a pivotable reflector Also, an adaptive headlamp leveling and / or adaptive headlights can advantageously support.

It is also possible that additionally or alternatively at least one of the light sources is switchable. In general, the luminance of the corresponding light source is decisive for building up a maximum illuminance. If the luminance of a light source is not sufficient to achieve a required maximum illuminance in the light distribution, multiple light sources must be used, the light source images are brought to overlap. The connection of the front light source 12.1 Light source for the performance Improvement in the center of the light distribution (range boost) is particularly useful when generating high beam, partial high beam, or other light functions without bright-dark border.
