  • the published patent document EP 2 428 725 A2 discloses a car projector lighting module.
  • the lighting module in question comprises a light-emitting diode-type light source (LED) mounted on a plate disposed on a cooling radiator of said diode.
  • the module also comprises a first reflective surface in the form of a half-shell and able to reflect the rays emitted by the light source towards a second reflective surface, called a bending surface, with a cutting edge of the illumination beam.
  • the lighting module also includes a lens disposed at the front of the second reflective surface. The rays reflected by the first reflective surface and which pass in front of the cutting edge of the pious meet the lens and are deflected by it.

  • This teaching is interesting in that the main piece ensures a precise relative positioning between the lens, the reflective surface, the folder and the radiator. Indeed, the lens is fully supported by the main piece. In the case of bulky and heavy lenses, this can pose some difficulties in terms of stability of the lens especially in the presence of vibrations. In addition, the main piece is a complicated piece that may also have some manufacturing tolerances potentially affecting the accuracy of the assembly.

  • the heat sink comprises a rear portion supporting the light source or sources and a front portion, the boss or bosses being on the front portion.
  • the front portion of the heat sink is against the bottom portion of said dissipator.
  • the heat sink has a stepped profile, the front portion forming a first step of said staircase and the rear portion forming a second step, higher, said staircase.
  • the support extends along the respective upper surfaces of the front and rear portions of the heat sink, the lens being in vertical support on said support.
  • the engagement between the lens and the heat sink is on the front portion of said dissipator.
  • the front portion of the heat sink comprises at least one, preferably at least two tabs extending forward and cooperating by engagement with an opening in the or the lugs of the lens, respectively.
  • the or each leg of the heat sink forms a stop in the direction of the optical axis for the corresponding fixing lug of the lens.

  • the measures of the invention are interesting in that they make it possible to easily and economically achieve a lighting module with a precise positioning of the lens relative to the reflecting surface and / or the light source or sources.
  • the figure 1 is a perspective representation of a lighting module according to the invention.
  • This lighting module can be mounted in a motor vehicle headlight. In this case, this module produces a cut-off lighting beam such as for a lighting function of the "code" type or even dipped beam.
  • the lighting module 2 illustrated at figure 1 comprises, essentially a radiator, or heat sink, 6 on which is arranged a plate 16 provided with one or more light sources 12, preferably of the electroluminescence diode type.
  • a support 4 shown in transparency and extending over the entire length of the module is disposed on the radiator 6.
  • the support is in contact with a lens 8 and comprises a reflecting surface 10.
  • the latter has a generally half-shell shape covering the light source 12.
  • the profile of the reflecting surface 10 may be generally elliptical with two foci.
  • the light source is located at the first focus and a reflective surface 14 is located substantially in the plane of the light source and with a leading edge located at the second focus.
  • Reflective surface 14 is commonly referred to as a "bender" in that it reflects a portion of rays from the reflecting surface 10 to an upper portion of the lens. Indeed, in the absence of the reflective surface 14, the rays passing behind the second focus would meet the lens at a lower part with a lower incidence angle than those passing through the second focus. These rays would then be deflected by the lens so as to form the upper part of the illumination beam. The fact of returning these rays to an upper part of the lens makes it possible to reverse this effect and to form the lower part of the beam. The front edge of the folder 14 thus forms a horizontal cut of the beam.
  • the reflective surface of the folder 14 forms a projection in the middle so as to form two different cutoff levels between the left and the right part of the illumination beam, in accordance with the regulations concerning vehicle lighting in effect in most countries.
  • the use of a folder to form a cut-off light beam is well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the lighting beam is in a main direction commonly called optical axis of the module.
  • This axis also essentially corresponds to the longitudinal axis of the module.

  • the figure 2 illustrates the radiator 6 of the module of the figure 1 , the radiator being equipped only with the folder 14 and the plate 16. It can be observed that the radiator 6 comprises a rear portion 6 1 supporting the plate and a front portion 6 2 .
  • the front portion 6 2 is at a lower level than the rear portion 6 1 .
  • the profile of the radiator 6 is similar to that of a staircase, the front portion 6 2 corresponding to a first step and the rear portion 6 1 forming a second step, greater than the first.
  • the folder 14 is located essentially at the front edge of the rear portion 6 1 . More specifically, the folder 14 comprises a central reflective portion 14 1 and two lateral portions 14 2 in the form of a support arm 4 ( figure 1 ). This fixation will be further detailed in relation to the figure 6 .
  • the folder 14 thus has a transverse U-shaped profile where only the central portion 14 1 is optically active.
  • the folder can be made from a portion of sheet metal, by shaping, folding and cutting.
  • the front portion 6 2 comprises on its upper surface two bosses 6 3 . These bosses are intended to ensure exact positioning in the vertical direction of the support 4, as will be detailed in connection with the Figures 3 and 4 . These bosses can be more numerous. It could also be one or more protrusions extending transversely, in the manner of a rib.
  • the front portion 6 2 also comprises, at its front edge, two lugs 6 4 for fixing the lens 8 ( figure 1 ), as will be detailed in relation to the Figures 3 and 4 .

It can be seen that the support 4 comprises several portions, in this case a rear portion 4 1 in contact with the plate 16 on the rear portion 6 1 of the radiator, an intermediate portion 4 2 and a front portion 4 3 disposed above the front portion 6 2 of the radiator 6 and on its bosses 6 3 .
  • the lens 8 comprises two fastening tabs 8 1 extending from a lower edge to the lugs 6 4 of the radiator 6. More specifically, these lugs 8 1 extend through openings 24 in the front portion 4 3 of the support 4. These lugs 8 1 may comprise cavities, or through passages, fitting the ends of the lugs 6 4 .

  • the radiator comprises ribs 6 6 in the shape of H in the longitudinal direction of the module. These ribs serve as a bearing surface for the folder 14. It is indeed important that the folder 14, more particularly its central portion 14 1 reflecting, is parallel to the upper surface of the rear portion 6 1 of the radiator 6. Indeed any misalignment of the reflective surface of the folder 14 is likely to significantly modify the photometry of the light beam of the module. It is therefore important to be able to accurately position the folder 14 not only in translation in the longitudinal direction but also vertically and in rotation about a transverse axis.
  • the ribs 6 6 provide vertical and rotational positioning about a transverse axis of the folder 14. They also prevent light leakage between the underside of the central portion 14 1 and the upper face of the rear portion 6 1 of the radiator.

Unlike the figure 3 , the figure 7 illustrates the module provided with fixing screws 20 and 22, visible in particular at the figure 5 . As can be seen at figure 7 the cutting axis VIII-VIII passes through an oblong hole 4 5 of the support 4 as well as one of the pins 6 5 of the radiator 6. The head of the fastening screw 22 passing through this oblong hole is totally received by said hole, meaning that this screw is not supported on the support 4 but only on the plate.
