Definitions
- the invention relates to a vehicle lamp with an open space reflector Surface grooves in the horizontal plane through the optical axis at right angles standing levels.
- a headlight in particular motor vehicle headlights, is known in which an outer paraboloid reflector is provided in which above the An internal reflector segment is provided in the incandescent lamp area, which is also Has paraboloid profile and for the central heat shielding of the external reflector serves.
- the inner reflector segment has grooves which are in relation to one another and to the optical one Axis parallel vertical planes and serve to concentrate the To prevent light bundles on the central area of the headlight windscreen - with in other words, sprinkle to the side.
- DE-PS 382 726 shows a headlight, the reflector of which is vertical, has mutually parallel grooves.
- DE 3836382 A1 relates to a flat headlight, the horizontally extending one Flat areas each have parallel, vertical channels.
- US-A 5577 833 relates to a flat headlight, the reflector in the Horizontal section an asymmetrical complex surface profile with between vertical steps extending sections. There are vertical grooves in the individual sections provided, the distribution within a section is unchanged and their number per unit length from a central section to the reflector edge decreases, the edge sections are groove-free. According to the training of the Reflector with a free surface, the headlight front window is smooth.
- the optical axis opens up the possibility of a far better one Adjustment of the light pattern depending on the reflector profile to achieve that the groove planes at different angles to Vertical plane through the optical axis - in other words, its angle to the vertical plane through the optical axis via the lateral and / or The height of the reflector varies.
- the normal plane is below the groove level on the tangent to the groove bottom assuming a symmetrical groove cross section.
- the grooves preferably correspond to the reflector curvature, i.e. the tangent the groove bottom is parallel to the tangent to the reflector - but this need not be the case and also along a single groove, the groove plane can change, the Angle to the vertical plane through the optical axis changes - and preferably over an angular range of approximately -20 ° to approximately + 20 °.
- That of the groove planes with the vertical plane through the optical axis included angles are at most about 50 °.
- a vehicle lamp is preferred in or parallel to the optical axis running linear light source, with the groove of the images of the reflector facing light source end above the horizontal plane through the optical Groove areas lying on the axis on an imaging surface higher and that of the End of the light source facing away from the reflector, as well as the images of the End of the light source facing away from the reflector through below the horizontal plane the optical axis lying groove areas higher on an imaging surface and the of the light source end facing the reflector are lower.
- the dividing line between the upper and lower reflector half is usually that Horizontal plane through the filament or optical axis, i.e. at a long-distance or Fog lights - for ECE low beam headlights (asymmetrical) a quasi-horizontal limit curve. Both dividing lines are to be formed by the Definition of the horizontal plane by the filament or optical axis.
- the grooves themselves are formed in the usual way when the reflector is pressed, which is usually made of heat-resistant plastic.
- the negative groove pattern will produced by milling on the press tool.
- the transition between the Grooves and the surrounding surface must be sharp or rounded and the distance between the individual grooves and their width is determined according to the Spreading characteristic selected.
- Fig. 1 is a view of the surface of an inventive Flat reflector with different scatter profiles and Fig. 2 is a schematic Representation of a preferred mapping mode.
- Fig. 2 HK is the section line of a horizontal plane in which the in the optical axis OA running filament GW of a lamp lies, with a reflector, the one Scattering groove S carries.
- the three axes of space are in the usual way with x, y and z and it is shown how the filament on a yz plane, the H / D Level, is shown over a lying in the upper half of the reflector Groove point PO and over one in the lower half of the reflector Grooved point PU.
- the end of the filament GW closer to the reflector is H and the other marked V and the illustrations HPO and HPU are in one Level EH, just like the illustrations VPO and VPU are in one level EV, whereby EH and EV are at right angles to the H / D level.
- the headlight is on Fog lights with a light / dark line D / H - you can see that VPU and HPO are closer to the light / dark line than VPO and HPU; they are preferably due to the Light / dark line.
