Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a headlamp of a motor vehicle comprising at least one light source, which is associated with a cooling device, and a housing having a light exit opening, which is closed by a translucent cover.
  • the headlight housing is usually made of plastic.
  • the cover is preferably made of glass or plastic. It can be designed as a lens at least partially with optically active elements (eg cylindrical lenses, prisms, etc.). It is also conceivable that the cover is formed as a clear disc without optically active elements.
  • the headlamps are used in the front area of a motor vehicle provided there suitable mounting holes and there at the Vehicle body attached.
  • a motor vehicle headlamp comprises in its housing interior at least one light module for generating at least part of a predetermined light distribution (for example dipped beam, high beam, fog light or any adaptive headlight function).
  • the light module comprises at least one light source and may be designed as a reflection module or as a projection module.
  • a reflection module the light emitted by the light source is focused by a reflector and reflected to produce the desired light distribution on the road ahead of the vehicle.
  • a projection module the light emitted from the light source is collimated by primary optics (e.g., reflector or attachment optics) and then projected onto the road ahead of the vehicle by secondary optics (e.g., projection lens or reflector) to produce the desired light distribution.
  • at least one lighting module can be provided inside the housing of a headlamp in order to be able to produce any lighting function (for example flashing light, position / parking / parking light, daytime running light, cornering light, etc.).
  • Automotive headlamps are increasingly employing semiconductor light sources (e.g., light emitting diodes, LEDs).
  • the semiconductor light sources are also used for headlight functions, such as for producing low beam, high beam and / or fog light, so for illumination of the vehicle environment. This requires relatively powerful semiconductor light sources.
  • semiconductor light sources In contrast to halogen lamps or gas discharge lamps, semiconductor light sources emit relatively cold light. The emitted light itself thus contains significantly less heat radiation components than a halogen lamp or gas discharge lamp. Nevertheless, losses also occur during the operation of semiconductor light sources. This means that part of the electrical energy used for operation is released as heat loss. Since the light of the semiconductor light sources hardly contains heat radiation components, this waste heat heats up the semiconductor chip itself. This is problematic because important properties of semiconductor light sources such as their luminous flux, color, forward voltage and lifetime are highly temperature dependent. The temperature of the semiconductor light sources must therefore be within narrow, fixed limits by a predetermined thermal operating point. In this case, the semiconductor light sources must be protected in particular against overheating.
  • the maximum permeable chip temperature is currently between 125 ° C and 185 ° C, depending on the manufacturer. Exceeding the respective maximum temperature results in destruction of the semiconductor light source or at least a strong reduction in its service life. Since only a relatively small part of the electrical energy used is converted into light, LED headlamps have a loss of heat output that can reach values between 15 watts and 35 watts.
  • cooling concepts In order to reliably dissipate these occurring in the chip of the semiconductor light sources loss heat outputs, cooling concepts are used, which provide in particular large-scale aluminum or copper cooling elements to absorb the heat loss and deliver over serving as a heat sink ribs or other devisvidveriesrnde structures to the environment.
  • the cooling elements and the heat sinks in the prior art are Usually arranged within the headlight housing. Often, these cooling requirements are so high that normal convective cooling is no longer sufficient and a fan must be used to force a constant flow of cooling air inside the enclosure.
  • a headlamp housing made of thermally conductive plastic.
  • the plastic on additives such as metal or ceramic, which are such that they give the material provided with the additives plastic material a higher thermal conductivity.
  • metallic structures are embedded in the plastic. The metal structures serve to conduct heat preferably in certain areas of the housing, in which a particularly efficient cooling can be achieved.
  • a lighting device with a housing in which a bottom part is at least partially made as an injection molded part.
  • the injection molding consists predominantly of a plastic which contains in particular mineral, ceramic, glassy or metallic particles.
  • the thermal conductivity of the plastic material is so significantly increased, so that the heat generated in the interior of the housing can be dissipated through the bottom part.
  • the headlight in one embodiment (see. Fig. 2G ) a heat pipe, which heat away from the LED chip leads to other areas inside the housing.
  • the object of the present invention is to design and further develop a headlamp such that the dissipation of the heat from semiconductor light source chips can be made more efficient in a manner that is as simple as possible (without the use of current-consuming active elements) and effectively.
  • a heat dissipation should be improved from the inside of the housing to the outside.
  • the cooling device comprises a cooling element arranged in or on the cover, which dissipates heat generated by the at least one light source to the outside.
  • the cooling element is designed such that it can absorb the heat well from the interior of the housing and then release it to the outside to the environment. In this case, it should be ensured that as little heat as possible remains in the housing interior, so that the semiconductor light sources can be operated in the permitted temperature range, preferably as far as possible below the permitted maximum temperature.
  • the cooling element is preferably a passive element; no additional active coolants (eg fans or Peltier elements) are used. This means that the cooling element consumes no electrical energy.
  • the arrangement of the cooling element in the region of the cover has the advantage that it is at least indirectly exposed to the wind, which ensures a particularly effective heat dissipation from the cooling element and thus for a particularly efficient cooling of the semiconductor light source or chips.
  • cooling elements can be arranged in or on the cover.
  • a cover usually includes a flat or slightly curved front and one of the outer edge of the front to the rear (ie, opposite to the direction of travel) protruding edge region.
  • a preferred position of the cooling element is a region of a lower end of the cover.
  • the cooling element when the headlamp is installed in the motor vehicle, the cooling element is arranged in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle, on the front side of the cover plate.
  • the cooling element would thus be arranged on the forward in the direction of travel front of the headlight. It may be visible to the viewer from the outside or invisible, eg. Covered by other components of the vehicle, be arranged in or on the cover.
  • the cooling element must be arranged in or on the cover so that it does not interfere with the light emission of the headlamp and the generation of the desired light distribution.
  • the cooling element is arranged on an edge region of the cover plate projecting rearward from the outer edge of the front side.
  • the edge region of the cover is black or otherwise dark or opaque. An arrangement of the cooling element in this area makes it barely or not at all visible to the viewer.
  • the cooling element arranged in or on the cover pane is at least partially concealed by a bumper of the motor vehicle when the headlight is installed in the vehicle.
  • a contamination of the cooling element is avoided while driving, whereby the heat radiation rate of the cooling element is maintained.
  • the bumper should, however, be designed such that it allows a corresponding air supply to the cooling element both when the vehicle is stationary and when driving.
  • the cooling device has a heat exchanger, which is arranged between the at least one light source and the cooling element. This transfers the heat generated during operation of the semiconductor light source particularly efficiently to the cooling element, where it can then be delivered to the environment outside the headlight housing.
  • the heat exchanger has a metallic or ceramic core, which is coated with plastic.
  • Such a design of the heat exchanger has the advantage that the heat exchanger can absorb or release heat at its free ends, but does not emit the heat on the way from one end to the other end into the housing.
  • the heat exchanger may also include a heat pipe.
  • Heat pipes are well known in the art.
  • the heat pipe thus connects the heat source (semiconductor light source chip) with the heat sink (cooling element in or on the cover).
  • the heat exchanger is concealed by arranged in the interior of the housing blinds or other design elements, so that the heat exchanger during View from the outside into the interior of the headlight is not visible to the viewer.
  • the cooling element is introduced into the cover.
  • the cover has a recess into which the cooling element is used as accurately as possible.
  • the cooling element can absorb heat on a side facing the interior of the housing, for example by connecting a heat exchanger, and can release heat to the environment on an outwardly facing side. By driving wind while driving the vehicle cooling of the cooling element can be supported.
  • a housing density must be guaranteed at all times. This means that the cooling element must be sealed in the recess of the cover accordingly, so that the interior of the housing is hermetically sealed to the outside.
  • the cooling element is applied to the outside of the cover.
  • the heat exchanger must penetrate the cover, which only requires a relatively small opening or recess in the cover. Any possible sealing problems can be minimized, especially since the cooling element covers and seals the opening in the cover from the outside, provided that it has a larger diameter than the heat exchanger. Again, the airflow while driving the vehicle can support the cooling of the cooling element.
  • the cooling element is arranged on the inside of the cover.
  • the cooling element is preferably designed as a heat radiator, wherein the heat radiation emitted by the cooling element is emitted in a targeted manner through the cover to the outside.
  • the choice of the material of the cover plate for example, Makrolon
  • the cover plate has a smooth outer surface in this embodiment.
  • the cooling element is a separately formed from the cover element.
  • the cooling element is characterized in particular in that it has a good heat absorption and a good heat emission characteristic and a good thermal conductivity.
  • the cooling element additionally has a surface-enlarging structure, in particular cooling fins, cooling pins, etc., has. This further promotes heat dissipation to the environment.
  • the cooling element is preferably made of metal, in particular aluminum.
  • the cooling element is an integral part of the cover and by a limited area of the cover is formed.
  • metal, graphite or ceramic particles can be introduced into the intended area in a plastic material of the cover plate, which improve the thermal conductivity of the plastic material in this area.
  • the area of the cover pane produced in this way can be made transparent or at least semitransparent.
  • the cooling element is therefore not separately formed from the cover element, but is integrated into it.
  • the heat exchanger is connected directly to the said region of the cover. In order to achieve a better heat distribution over the area, the heat of the heat exchanger should be distributed to the available area of the area of the cover. For this purpose, the heat exchanger can be increased accordingly, for example in the connection area on the cover.
  • the at least one light source of the headlamp preferably comprises at least one semiconductor light source, e.g. a light emitting diode (LED).
  • LED light emitting diode
  • FIG. 1 shows a motor vehicle 10, in particular a passenger car, which has a headlight 12 on the right and left in the front area.
  • a headlight 12 could also be arranged on a truck or on a two-wheeler.
  • the headlight 12 usually comprises a housing, preferably made of plastic, in which one or more light modules (in FIG. 1 not visible) are arranged to generate a desired light distribution on the road ahead of the motor vehicle.
