Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the well-known vehicle lamp has on its side facing the body side three ventilation systems that should prevent by the connection of the air in the interior of the lamp with the outside air Staue the lens, especially at lower temperatures.
  • the three ventilation openings are covered with differently shaped, integrally formed with the housing lids.
  • a disadvantage of such a known vehicle lamp is that due to the almost arbitrary arrangement of the ventilation openings for the right and left lamp of a vehicle different housing must be made, which causes considerable costs in the development, tooling, production, storage and installation of the lamp housing since must always be distinguished between so-called right and left cases. Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that although the known vehicle lamp has a plurality of ventilation openings, no measures have been taken in the event that dirt or spray water penetrates into the vehicle lamp. so that this then remains in vehicle light due to the arrangement and design of the ventilation openings.
  • the opening is covered by a lens.
  • the housing On a side facing away from the lens, the housing has an aeration system in an upper area and a ventilation and drainage system in a lower area. These two systems are arranged in mirror image with respect to a horizontally extending central axis.
  • From the DE 26 10 932 A1 is a vehicle lamp with a housing and a same covering lens known, with a mirror image of a central axis of the vehicle lamp two ventilation and / or drainage systems are arranged. An attachment of the housing to a vehicle body is not provided.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to develop a vehicle lamp such that it has at least two ventilation and / or drainage systems, that the housing for a right and a left vehicle lamp is identical and that housing material is saved.
  • the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • a wall region of the ventilation and / or drainage systems is formed by the wall of an integrally formed with the housing mounting dome, which offers the advantage that material is saved for the housing, since needed areas of the housing for two functions use.
  • At least one wall region of the ventilation and / or drainage systems through the wall of a web formed integrally with the housing is formed, which offers the advantage that material for the housing is saved, since needed areas of the housing for two functions use.
  • the web is designed in particular as a sealing web, which serves in conjunction with a sealing element for sealing between the vehicle lamp and the vehicle body.
  • An embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the at least two ventilation and / or drainage systems are arranged and formed in mirror image to the horizontal center axis, wherein a ventilation and / or drainage system formed on an upper edge region of the housing seen in mounting position of the vehicle lamp is and wherein a ventilation and / or drainage system is formed on a seen in mounting position of the vehicle lamp lower edge region of the housing.
  • a second embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the at least two ventilation and / or drainage systems are arranged and constructed in mirror image to the vertical center axis, wherein a ventilation and / or drainage system at a right edge region of the housing seen in the mounting position of the vehicle lamp is formed and wherein a ventilation and / or drainage system is formed on a seen in the mounting position of the vehicle lamp left edge region of the housing.
  • a third embodiment of the invention is finally distinguished by the fact that the at least two ventilation and / or drainage systems are arranged and formed in mirror image to the diagonal center axis, wherein a ventilation and / or drainage system on an upper right or upper seen in the mounting position of the vehicle lamp is formed left edge region of the housing and wherein a ventilation and / or drainage system is formed on a seen in mounting position of the vehicle lamp lower left or lower right edge side portion of the housing.
  • the wall regions of the housing forming the ventilation and / or drainage systems in the mounting position are each approximately funnel-shaped towards the edge region of the housing and the ventilation and / or drainage openings are respectively through, in relation to the total volume of the vehicle lamp. formed small openings.
  • the small openings ensure that there is only a minimum risk that dirt and / or spray water can penetrate into the vehicle lamp and still a sufficient exchange of air can take place. Due to the funnel-shaped design of the wall, it is possible that possibly yet penetrated into the vehicle light dirt and / or spray automatically flows to the arranged at the lowest point of the vehicle lamp drainage opening and can escape through this from the vehicle lamp.
  • FIG. 1 a rear view of a vehicle light
  • FIG. 2 an enlarged detail view of the lower third of the in FIG. 1 shown vehicle lamp.
  • FIG. 1 is the rear view of a housing (10) of a left vehicle lamp shown in the mounting position.
  • a ventilation system (12) is formed, which is to prevent by the possibility of connecting the air in the interior of the vehicle lamp with the ambient air, the sowing of the lens, not shown.
  • a drainage system (14) is formed, which makes it possible that unintentionally penetrated into the vehicle lamp dirt and / or spray water can flow out of this again. Furthermore, the drainage system (14) also serves as ventilation due to its construction.
  • the ventilation system (12) and the drainage system (14) are arranged in mirror image to the horizontal center axis (16) of the vehicle lamp and formed. This makes it possible to use the housing (10) for a right vehicle lamp, you just have to rotate the housing by 180 ° around the center of the central axis (16). Due to the mirror image arrangement and design of the ventilation and drainage systems (12/14) is based on FIG. 2 only the formation of the drainage system (14) explained, wherein FIG. 2 an enlarged detail view of the lower third of the in FIG. 1 shown vehicle light shows.
  • the at the lower outer region of the housing (10) arranged and trained drainage system (14) has a drainage opening (22) through which unintentionally penetrated dirt and / or spray can flow out of the vehicle light, on the other hand, but also an exchange of air take place inside the vehicle lamp and the environment can to prevent condensation of the lens, not shown.
  • the drainage opening (22) is formed by the wall of a fastening dome (18) and a portion of the sealing web (20).
  • the fastening dome (18) serves to allow the vehicle lamp to be fixed to the vehicle body by means of a screw, not shown.
  • On the sealing web (20) a seal, not shown here, is placed, which is arranged between the vehicle lamp and the vehicle body.
