Definitions
- the invention relates to a lighting and / or signaling module comprising an LED adapter fixed on its printed circuit intended to bear on the support of a first optical element of this module.
- Lighting and / or signaling devices for a motor vehicle consist of a housing closed by a closure glass and containing one or more optical modules.
- the light beams emitted by these devices are made by this or these optical modules, which can work together or separately.
- These optical modules comprise a light source associated with one or more optical deflection elements, and possibly caches, for modulating the shape of the beam as well as the distribution of the light intensity in this beam.
- the light sources comprise one or more light-emitting diodes, also called LEDs or LEDs.
- Light emitting diodes are composed of one or more light emitting elements that emit light when it is electrically powered.
- the photoemissive element is placed on a substrate comprising two electrodes in contact with the light emissive element to enable it to be tensioned.
- the light emitting element may be covered with a transparent protective element, modifying or not the beam emitted by the photoemissive element.
- optical deflection elements in the present application are optical elements for deflecting the light beams. These are, for example, reflectors, which deflect light by reflecting it, or lenses, which deflect light by one or more refractions.
- the light source can be associated with a single optical element.
- a convergent lens or a parabolic reflector at the focus of which is placed the light source.
- You can also use a combined elliptical reflector a second generally convergent optical element, for example a lens.
- An example of these optical modules having in addition one or more LEDs as a light source is described in document FR2839139 .
- the photoemissive element must be positioned precisely with respect to the focus of the first optical element, which collects the rays emitted from the surface of the light emitting element.
- the support element of the first optical element that also supports the printed circuit, so that by correctly setting this support with respect to the size of the LED and the thickness of its printed circuit, it ensures the positioning of the light emitting element with respect to the focus of the first optical element.
- Each circuit board is adapted to the electrical characteristics of the LED or LEDs it carries. As a result, LEDs with different characteristics will present different printed circuits. In particular, depending on the LED used, this circuit will generally have a different thickness.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to find a solution to allow the use of different LEDs of different characteristics for the same optical module of lighting and / or signaling device for a motor vehicle, including the support of the first deflection element Optical also supports an LED fixed on its circuit board.
- Another object of the present invention is an LED adapter fixed on its printed circuit, in particular for a module as described above.
- This adapter comprises a first face for fixing the printed circuit, and a second face opposite to the first face, the second face comprising means for receiving a fixing means.
- This adapter can thus be used in a module as described above to place a given characteristic LED.
- This optical module may also have a support having a through hole accessible on one side from outside the module and opening to the other in said withdrawal.
- the term "in the vicinity of the first focus” is intended to be positioned on the focal point or at a distance therefrom such that the ray issuing from the light source emerges substantially parallel to the optical axis. .
- This distance may for example equal to one-tenth of the focal length of the reflector.
- the invention also relates to a lighting and / or signaling device comprising an optical module as described above.
- the invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such a lighting and / or signaling device.
- the adapter is heat conducting and is connected to a heat sink, to evacuate the heat produced by the LED.
- the figure 1 represents the different optical elements of the present invention.
- the lighting module 10 comprises, arranged from rear to front along a longitudinal longitudinal optical axis AA, a first optical deflection element, which is for example as in the example illustrated a reflector 12 of the elliptical type.
- the lighting module also comprises a light source 14 which is arranged in the vicinity of a first focus F1 of the reflector 12, and a second optical deflection element 16 whose focal plane is arranged in the vicinity of the second focus F2 of the reflector 12.
- the second optical deflection element is a converging lens.
- the lens 16 could also be replaced by a parabolic reflector or with parabolic sections, having a focus positioned on or in the vicinity of the second focus F2.
- the optical axis AA defines here, without limitation, a horizontal longitudinal direction and a back-to-front orientation, which corresponds to a left-right orientation on the figure 1 and from right to left on 2 and 5.
- the optical axis AA is for example substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of a vehicle (not shown) equipped with the lighting module 10.
- An LED 14 emits its light energy in less than a "half space" above the cache surface 22 towards the inner face of the elliptical surface of the reflector 12.
- the light emitting element is encapsulated in a protective resin dome.
- the convergent lens 16 is here a piece of revolution around the longitudinal optical axis A-A.
- the lens 16 has, vis-à-vis the reflector 12, a transverse input surface 17 for the light rays.
- the reflector 12 comprises an elliptical surface which is formed as a substantially angular sector of a part of revolution, and which extends in the half space above an axial plane horizontal passing through the longitudinal optical axis AA.
- the elliptical surface may not be perfectly elliptical and may have several specific profiles intended to optimize the light distribution in the lighting beam produced by the module 10, according to the lighting function performed by the module 10.
- the reflector 12 defines a reflection volume for the light rays emitted by the source 14, that is to say a volume in which the light rays are emitted and in which the light rays are reflected.
- This reflection volume is delimited, in its upper part, by the internal face of reflection 20 of the elliptical surface, and vertically downwards by the reflecting face of the cache surface 22.
- the cover surface 22 extends here in a horizontal axial plane.
- the cover surface 22 is delimited, at the rear, at its intersection a trailing edge, and at the front, by a cutting edge 28. It can be provided alternatively that the cache surface 22 is delimited at the rear by a line segment perpendicular to the axis AA and passing in the immediate vicinity of the LED 14, in front of the latter.
- the cutting edge 28 of the cover surface 22 is arranged on or in the vicinity of the second focus F2 of the reflector 12, so as to form a sufficiently sharp cut in the illumination beam produced by the lighting module 10.
- the curved shape of this profile is more or less complex, and can be compared in first approximation to an arc of a circle. Therefore, preferably, the cutoff edge 28 has a curved profile, in the horizontal plane, so as to follow generally the profile of the focal plane of the lens 16.
- the figure 2 also schematically illustrates an optical module in section substantially identical to that illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .
- the optical elements already described are added more details on the attachment of the various elements.
- the first optical deflection element namely in this case the reflector 12
- a support 20 comprises a bearing surface 61 situated at a given distance d from the first focus F1 of the reflector 12.
- Adapter 70 is placed and fixed on this bearing surface 20.
- a printed circuit 80 is fixed to the adapter 70. This printed circuit supplies and drives an LED, fixed on this printed circuit.
- the LED comprises a photoemissive element 14 which emits light rays towards the reflector 12.
- the adapter 70 is configured so that said light emitting element 14 is positioned substantially in the vicinity of the focus F1 of the reflector 12.
- the light source 14 is arranged in the vicinity of the first focus F1 of the elliptical reflector 12, some radii R1 emitted at the focus F1 or very close thereto by the light emitting element 14, after being reflected on the inner face of the elliptical surface of the reflector 12, are returned to the second focus F2 of the reflector 18, or in the vicinity thereof.
- the support 20 described allows thanks to this support surface the placement of an adapter whose configuration will allow this positioning, in a simple manner.
- This bearing surface also makes it possible to take another LED than that illustrated, fixed on a printed circuit of different thickness. It will suffice to vary the shape of the adapter 70, by changing or machining it without modifying the arrangement of the support 20 and the reflector 12.
- the support 20 comprises a recess 60 whose bottom is formed at least in part by the bearing surface 61.
- the depth of the withdrawal is equal to the sum of the thickness of the adapter 70, the thickness of the printed circuit 80 and from the thickness of the underside of the LED to the illuminating face of its photoemissive element 14.
- the photoemissive element 14 is thus simply by positioning the adapter on the bearing face 61 in the horizontal plane containing the first focus F1.
- the adapter 70 is particularly interesting because other elements must also be correctly positioned relative to the focal points of the reflector 12, namely the converging lens 16 and the cutting edge 28.
- the light rays R1 from the focus F1 are reflected at the second focus F2 of the reflector that corresponds to that of the lens 16.
- the lens then refracts the radius R1 parallel to the optical axis AA.
- a concentrated light image is thus obtained which is projected, at the front of the lighting module 10, by the lens 16, in a direction substantially parallel to the optical axis AA.
- the support 20 comprises the cache surface 22, so that a portion of the light rays R2 emitted by the source 14 and which are not emitted exactly at the focus F1 and which would pass below the cutting edge 28, if there was no cache area 22, will be intercepted by the latter.
- this reflective surface is reflective, the light rays R2 are reflected a second time forward, passing above the cutoff edge 28 and the focus F2, and will be refracted downwards by the lens 16.
- the rays The light emitted next to the first focus F1 is thus emitted under the cut-off in the lighting beam.
- This lighting module 10 makes it possible to make a clean cut with this LED, because it projects the image of the cutoff edge at the front 28.
- the shape of the cutoff in the lighting beam is thus determined. by the profile of the cutting edge 28, in a projection on a vertical and transverse plane.
- the cache surface can be made non-reflective. In this case, it absorbs the light rays that meet it. The light beam will be less intense.
- the photoemissive element is placed on a substrate 15 carrying the electrodes of the LED.
- This substrate is directly attached to the printed circuit board 80. It is also possible to use an LED whose light emitting element is directly in contact with the printed circuit.
- the surface of the light emitting element 14 is flush with the plane containing the cover surface 22. This is facilitated by the fact that the bearing surface 61 is parallel to the cover surface 22. The bearing surface and the surface of the cache are horizontal in this figure. The depth of the withdrawal 60 is equal to the shortest distance d between the bearing surface 61 and the plane containing the surface 22 of the cover.
- the adapter 70 is fixed to the support 20 by means of a screw 90 screwing into a hole of the adapter 70.
- This screw makes it possible to separate the adapter from the support 20 and to remove it from the optical module without separating said reflector 12 from the support 20.
- This screw passes through a through hole 26 of the support 20, to be fixed by one of its ends 91 to the adapter 70, and is screwed from below the support 20.
- the head of screw 92 is supported on the underside of the support 20. It is thus mechanically operable from outside said optical module 10.
- the hole of the adapter 70 is non-traversing. It is thus possible to increase the bonding surface on the printed circuit 80.
- the through hole 26 of the support 20 has a diameter greater than that of the hole of the adapter 70.
- the optical module comprises an opening 13 between the support 20 and the reflector 12, at the rear of the reflector.
- the withdrawal 60 opens into this opening 13.
- the screw is unscrewed and the adapter is withdrawn by a translation movement R, through the opening 13.
- the adapter is withdrawn by a translation movement R, through the opening 13.
- no protective dome covers the element 14.
- the back of the adapter is slightly upwards to let this dome pass. The movement remains, in the sense of the present application, globally translation.
- Another LED mounted on a printed circuit board is used, either mounted on the adapter or modified on another adapter with the required configuration.
- the modified adapter or other adapter is inserted in the opposite direction through the opening 13, so that it rests in contact with the bearing surface 61.
- the configuration of the modified adapter or the new adapter is chosen according to the thickness of the printed circuit and the shortest distance between the underside of the LED and the illuminating surface of the light emitting element 14. Thus, this illuminating surface is found positioned in a plane including the first focus F1.
- a screw 90 is then passed through the through hole 26 of the support 20, it is screwed into the adapter, and the lateral positioning of the adapter is adjusted in the recess 60, so that the element photoemissive 14 either on the first focus F1. Once this is done, tighten the screw securely to secure the adapter.
- the Figures 4a and 4b represent two printed circuits on which LEDs are attached.
- the first printed circuit 80 comprises an LED with a light emitting element 14 fixed on a substrate 42, fixed and connected to the printed circuit board 80.
- the printed circuit tracks 80 are connected to the electrodes of the LED, to the connection points 86 and 88 for connecting the electrical circuit to a power supply, not shown, and possibly a control module, not shown as well. These connection points may be connectors allowing the connection of the printed circuit, for example once the adapter mounted.
- the first adapter 70 carries the first printed circuit 80.
- the second printed circuit 180 comprises two LEDs, not shown, fixed to the second printed circuit 180 at connection points 182 and 184.
- the driving of these two LEDs requires more tracks and components.
- the second printed circuit 180 is thus thicker than the first printed circuit 80. There is thus a difference ⁇ between the second printed circuit 180 and the first printed circuit 80.
- a second adapter 170 is used to carry the second printed circuit 180.
- This second adapter 170 is identical in shape to the first adapter 70, except that it has a smaller thickness than the first one. adapter.
- This difference in thickness between the adapter is equal to the difference in thickness between the two printed circuits, and thus makes it possible to compensate for it so that these two types of LED assembly can be placed in the optical module 10, so that the illuminating surfaces of the photoemissive elements are in the vicinity of the first focus F1.
- the second adapter 170 is therefore thinner by a difference ⁇ than the first adapter 70.
- the positioning of the LEDs is such that the point The center of the illuminating surface for the first LED is positioned laterally and longitudinally on the adapter at the same level as the center point of the illuminating surface or all of the illuminating surfaces for the LED or LEDs of the second printed circuit.
- the identical shape of the two adapters, apart from their thickness, will allow them to be positioned identically longitudinally and transversely as well.
- Each adapter 70, 170 comprises walls, joining the surface in contact with the printed circuit 80, 180 and the surface accommodating the screw head 92. These walls are perpendicular to these surfaces. As the recess also has walls perpendicular to the bearing surface 61, these walls will allow to wedge the adapter in the withdrawal and thus position it precisely. So, as we can see in figure 5 when the adapter slides along the bearing surface, during assembly, a transverse wall 72 of the adapter abuts with a transverse wall 62 of the recess 60. It is also possible to wedge a longitudinal wall 73 of the adapter against a longitudinal wall 63 of the withdrawal 60.
- the adapter 70 in the recess 60, and thus the illuminating surfaces, in two distinct directions contained in a plane parallel to the bearing surface 61.
- these two directions are a transverse direction and a longitudinal direction.
- the two transverse and longitudinal walls are at right angles.
- the wall of the recess 60 situated along the cut-off edge 28 has a particular cut-out, namely a horizontal slot whose bottom is oriented towards the cut-off edge 28.
- the ends of this wall 62 are closer to the rear of the reflector 12 that the middle 65 of this wall is, the latter being closer to the cutting edge. It is thus possible to bring the LED closer to the cutting edge, while maintaining a sufficient thickness of material between the ends of the cutting edge 28 and the ends of the wall 62.
- the cutting edge 28 is thus less sensitive to deformation due to the heat.
- This cutting can of course take other forms, such as staircuts to the cutting edge 28, or other forms.
- the adapter 70, 170 preferably has, but not necessarily, a shape partially complementary to this cutting.
- the first transverse wall 72 of the adapter 70 located on the side of the cutting edge 28, comprises a cutout so that the distance between its ends and the opposite transverse wall 71 is shorter than the distance between the middle of said first transverse wall 72 and the opposite transverse wall 71.
- the figure 6 represents an embodiment with two modules according to the present invention. These are very close to the one illustrated in the previous figures. They each comprise a combination of LED 114, 214 each associated with a reflector 112, 212, and a lens 116, 216, according to the optical principles described above. These optical modules respectively have optical axes A'-A 'and A "-A”.
- the support 120 of the first reflector 112 has a recess 160, with an opening at the rear and on the side toward the second module.
- the support 220 of the second reflector 212 has a recess 260, with an opening at the rear and on the side toward the first module.
- Each support has a cut-off edge, respectively 128 and 228.
- An adapter 170 common to the two modules makes it possible to position both the LED 114 of the first module and that 214 of the second module at the first foci of the two reflectors 112, 212. According to some embodiments, this also makes it possible, when the LEDs of the two modules are carried by a common printed circuit, to be able to position the two optical modules with respect to each other, if their position can be adjusted.
- This type of embodiment can be adapted to more than two aligned modules. In the latter case, if a single adapter is used, removal of the module (s) between the modules at the ends of the array will include two side openings to the adjacent modules, in addition to the rear opening.
- the figure 7 illustrates a vehicle headlight 46 having four optical modules according to the present invention, together generating a code beam.
- the two modules at the top have an oblique cutting edge 28. They may have a common printed circuit to facilitate their orientation relative to each other, so that their elementary beams are superimposed on 25 meters. They make it possible to generate the oblique portion of the cut of the code beam.
- the modules of the bottom 50 generate wider beams with a horizontal cut to achieve the complement of the code beam, superimposed with the beams of the top modules 28.
- These bottom modules can also have an adapter and a common printed circuit.
- the number of modules, their configuration and their layout is however not limiting.
