Description

Disclosed is a lighting device comprising at least one light module which comprises at least one light source, and an adjustment device for adjusting the position of the at least one light module.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle headlight comprising one or more such lighting devices.

Lighting devices are typically housed in a housing, for example in the housing of a motor vehicle headlight. It is often necessary for the position of the lighting device's light module to be adjusted, for example by pivoting the light module about one or more axes, e.g. about a horizontal and/or a vertical axis. Due to the change in position resulting from such an adjustment, in particular pivoting, the light module is deflected in the direction of movement. Appropriate installation space must be kept free to accommodate this deflection of the components.

document DE 39 25 320 A1 relates to a device for extending and retracting a flash unit in a photographic camera.

It is an object of the invention to provide a solution for how a light module of a lighting device can be adjusted or pivoted in such a way that as little installation space as possible is taken up or required by the resulting movement of the light module.

The present invention is defined in independent claim 1. The dependent claims define embodiments of the invention.

An adjustment device comprises: a base element, in relation to which the position of the light module can be adjusted, two pivot levers, each with a first region, in particular a first end region, and a second region, in particular a second end region opposite the first end region, wherein each pivot lever is pivotably mounted with its first region about a first base pivot axis on a base coupling region of the base element, wherein the base pivot axes are arranged at a normal distance A from one another and run parallel to one another, wherein each pivot lever is connected in its second end region to the light module in its own light module coupling region in such a way that the light module can execute a pivoting movement with respect to each pivot lever about a light module pivot axis running through the light module coupling regions, wherein the two light module pivot axes run parallel to one another and parallel to the base pivot axes, wherein the light module pivot axes run at a normal distance B from one another, wherein the normal distance B between the light module pivot axes is less than the normal distance A between the pivot axes of the base element, and an adjustment mechanism which is coupled to the light module and which is designed to pivot the light module about the two base pivot axes and to hold it in a defined position.

The pivot levers are preferably components that run in a straight line. Each pivot lever is preferably designed as a single piece, but the pivot levers can also be formed from two or more elements that are rigidly connected to one another.

If you consider an imaginary plane to which the (base and light module) pivot axes run perpendicular, and you connect the intersection points of the base pivot axis and the light module pivot axis of a pivot lever with this plane using a straight line, you get a straight line for each pivot lever, which intersect in an area facing away from the base element behind the coupling areas, in particular after the light module. This straight line intersection point forms a virtual pivot point around which the light module is pivoted when moved by the adjustment mechanism.

The light module is thus pivoted in the imaginary plane when moved by an angle in one direction or the other. For example, if the imaginary plane is a vertical plane, the light module is pivoted during a movement in which the light module coupling areas move upwards in such a way that the front of the light module tilts downwards and the rear or support moves upwards, whereby the main light emission direction is tilted downwards. If the light module coupling areas move downwards, however, the front of the light module moves upwards and the rear moves downwards, so that the main light emission direction is tilted upwards.

Due to the design according to the invention, in which the two base pivot axes are further apart from each other than the two light module pivot axes, the imaginary straight lines intersect at a point which lies in a virtual pivot axis of the light module.

With conventional adjustment devices, a displacement of the light module causes movement in both vertical and horizontal directions, which must be taken into account in the design as well as when determining the necessary installation space.

With the present invention, the extent of the displacement of the light module and the additional installation space required as a result can be significantly reduced.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

It may be expedient if the adjustment mechanism is coupled to the light module or the carrier in an area located between the light module coupling areas.

It is advantageous that the adjustment mechanism is coupled to the light module or the carrier by means of a ball joint.

Preferably, connecting lines which connect the intersection points lying in a plane which result from the intersection of the base pivot axes and the light module pivot axes with the plane, wherein the base pivot axes and the light module pivot axes are perpendicular to this plane, form a trapezoid in a basic position.

Preferably, the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid in the basic position.

Furthermore, it can be provided that an optical axis of the light module intersects the connecting line, which connects the intersection points located in the light module or carrier, in such a way that the connecting line is halved and the optical axis runs essentially normal to the connecting line.

It can be provided that one of the base pivot axes is located above the other base pivot axis and one of the light module pivot axes is located above the other light module pivot axis, wherein in particular the respective pivot axes, at least in the basic position, are arranged directly vertically one above the other.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle headlight comprising one or more lighting devices described above.

For example, such a motor vehicle headlight is provided to comprise a housing in which the lighting device is arranged, wherein the base element is arranged fixedly with the housing or adjustable with respect to the housing.

In addition, the motor vehicle headlight can comprise a cover lens which is arranged on the housing after the light module in the main light emission direction, and wherein the virtual pivot point or the virtual pivot axis runs through the lens.

Finally, the invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising one or more motor vehicle headlights as described above.

The light source 11 can be any light source, LEDs are often used as the light source(s), which are generally arranged on a corresponding circuit board. A heat sink is preferably provided for cooling the light source(s).

wobei die obige Aufzählung nicht abschließend ist und lediglich zum Ausdruck bringen soll, dass ein Lichtmodul 10 je nach Einsatzzweck und Verwendung sowie konkreter Ausgestaltung einen unterschiedlichen Aufbau aufweisen kann.A light module can comprise further components in a known manner, for example

• • a lens, such as a projection lens or generally a projection optics, and/or
• • one or more light guides, for example light guides based on total reflection, and/or
• • one or more reflectors,
• • etc.,

The above list is not exhaustive and is merely intended to express that a light module 10 can have a different structure depending on the intended purpose and use as well as the specific design.

In the specific example, the light module 10 comprises, in addition to the light source 11, which has several LEDs, for example, a heat sink, a circuit board (printed circuit board) on which the light source 11 is arranged, as well as a projection lens 15 and a lens holder.

The light module shown, for example, generates an ADB high beam. In principle, however, light modules are also conceivable that generate other light distributions, e.g. dipped beam, high beam, apron, etc.

In general, a light module 10 serves to generate one or more light distributions, for example, when the light module 10 is used in a motor vehicle headlight, to generate a low beam distribution, a partial high beam or high beam distribution, etc.

Furthermore, the lighting device 100 comprises an adjustment device for adjusting the position of the light module 10, wherein the adjustment device comprises a base element 1 with respect to which the position of the light module 10 is adjustable.

In addition, the lighting device comprises two pivot levers 2, 3, each with a first region 2a, 3a, in particular a first end region, and a second region 2b, 3b, in particular a second end region opposite the first end region, wherein each pivot lever 2, 3 with its first region 2a, 3a is pivotally mounted about a first base pivot axis 20, 30 on a base coupling region 1a, 1b of the base element 1.

The base pivot axes 20, 30 are arranged at a normal distance A from one another and run parallel to one another. Each pivot lever 2, 3 is connected in its second end region 2b, 3b to the light module 10 in its own light module coupling region 10a, 10b in such a way that the light module 10 can execute a pivoting movement in relation to each pivot lever 2, 3 about a light module pivot axis 21, 31 running through the light module coupling regions 10a, 10b.

The two light module pivot axes 21, 31 run parallel to each other and parallel to the base pivot axes 20, 30, wherein the light module pivot axes 21, 31 run at a normal distance B from each other, and wherein the normal distance B between the light module pivot axes 21, 31 is smaller than the normal distance A between the pivot axes 20, 30 of the base element 1.

Furthermore, the adjustment device comprises an adjustment mechanism 200, 201, 202, which 4 is shown. The light module 10 is coupled to this adjustment mechanism, which is designed to pivot the light module 10 about the two base pivot axes 20, 30 and to hold it in a defined position P1, P2, P3.

1 shows a basic position P1 in which the light module 10 is in a non-pivoted position or in which the position of the light module is defined as a non-pivoted position.

The pivot levers are preferably straight-line components. Preferably, each pivot lever is made of one piece or consists of one piece. The pivoting levers can be elongated.

Preferably, it is provided that the two pivot levers each have a lateral extension, which increases the stability of the pivot levers and thus also of the pivoting process. The lateral extension is preferably the same size or larger than the extension in the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal extension of a pivot lever corresponds to the direction of a connecting line g3, g4 between the two pivot axes 20, 21 and 30, 31 of the respective pivot lever 2, 3, with the connecting line g3, g4 being normal to the two pivot axes. The lateral extension runs transversely, in particular normal to these connecting lines g3, g4 and transversely to the pivoting direction of the pivot levers 2, 3, see in particular 5 .

In the embodiment shown, a carrier 12 is provided for the light module 10, to which the light module 10 is firmly connected, as is the case, for example, with the 1 - 3 can be easily removed. The light module coupling areas 10a, 10b are in this case located on the carrier 12.

As in 4 shown, the adjustment mechanism comprises an adjustment arm 201, which is coupled to the light module 10, in which in the specific case the adjustment arm 201 is connected to the carrier 12 of the light module 10, so that when the adjustment arm 201 is moved, the carrier 12 and thus the light module 10 is pivoted, and the adjustment arm 201 in a fixed position holds the carrier 12 and thus the light module 10 in a defined position P1, P2, P3 (for the defined positions see the explanations below with reference to the 1 - 3 ). Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism comprises a drive (not shown), in particular a linear drive, e.g. a motor or linear motor, which is coupled to the adjustment arm 201 in a region or point 200 such that the adjustment arm 201 moves, for example pivots about an adjustment arm axis 201a, when the drive acts on the adjustment arm 200.

The adjustment arm axis 201a, which is realized, for example, by means of a corresponding pivot shaft or via a corresponding bearing, is fixed with respect to the lighting device 100, for example with respect to the base element 1.

The light module 10 or the carrier 12 is coupled to the two pivot levers 2, 3 in such a way that the light module 10 is located on a side of the light module coupling regions 2b, 3b facing away from the base element 1 and a main light emission direction X of the light module 10 is directed away from the base element 1.

Preferably, as in 4 As can be seen, the adjustment mechanism, specifically the adjustment arm 200, is coupled to the carrier 12 in an area 12a located between the light module coupling areas 10a, 10b.

Advantageously, the adjustment arm 200 is coupled to the carrier 12 by means of a ball joint 13.

The pivot levers themselves are, in general and not limited to the described embodiment, pivotally connected to the base element and the light module/carrier, for example via corresponding pivot shafts, or via corresponding, preferably in the lateral area (see as an example 1 & 5 ) which only allow movement of the pivot levers in a plane normal to the pivot axes.

In 1 (Imaginary) connecting lines g1, g2, g3, g4 are drawn, which lie in a plane E (see 5 ) lying intersection points S1, S2, S3, S4. These intersection points S1, S2, S3, S4 are each obtained by intersecting the base pivot axes 20, 30 and the light module pivot axes 21, 31 with this plane E. The plane E is positioned such that the base pivot axes 20, 30 and the light module pivot axes 21, 31 are perpendicular to this plane E.

In 1 the light module 10 is in a so-called starting position or basic position P1. In this basic position P1, in the embodiment shown, the straight lines g1 - g4 advantageously form a trapezoid. The straight line g1, which connects the intersection points S1, S2 "in the base element", forms the base (longer side) of the trapezoid, while the straight line g2, which connects the intersection points S3, S4 "in the light module/carrier", forms the shorter side, which is parallel to the base in the basic position. The two straight lines g3, g4 connecting the intersection points S1, S3 and S2, S4 form the sides of the trapezoid.

The extension lines G3, G4 of the lines g3, g4 intersect in the basic position P1 at a point which is located in front of the light module 10 in particular (as seen in the direction of light propagation X). This point VP forms the virtual pivot point around which the light module 10 or the carrier 12 of the light module 10 is pivoted when the light module 10 moves out of the basic position P1.

To be precise, the light module is pivoted around a virtual pivot axis which runs through the point VP and is normal to the plane E or runs parallel to the pivot axes 20, 21, 30, 31.

In the embodiment shown, the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid in the basic position P1, which means that the straight lines g3, g4 are of equal length. In this embodiment, if the pivoting mechanism is deflected equally in both adjustment directions (preferably up and down), the light module is deflected to the same extent.

Preferably, as shown in the figures, the lighting device is designed such that an optical axis (which, for example, coincides with the main light propagation direction X) of the light module 10 intersects the connecting line g2 such that the connecting line g2 is halved, wherein the optical axis X runs substantially normal to the connecting line g2.

The light module is thus located “symmetrically” between the intersection points S3 and S4 or between the two light module pivot axes 21, 31.

As shown, it can be provided that a base pivot axis 20 is located above the other base pivot axis 30 and a light module pivot axis 21 is located above the other light module pivot axis 31, wherein the respective pivot axes are preferably arranged directly vertically one above the other, at least in the basic position P1. And directly is to be understood in this context that both axes lie in a common vertical plane.

The 2 and 3 show pivoted states or positions P2, P3. If the drive acts on the pivot arm 201 via the point 200 so that it is pivoted about the pivot axis 201a, a force F acts on the carrier 12, the direction of which is in the 2 and 3 is marked.

The in 2 The upward-acting force F causes the two light module pivot axes 21, 31 to move upwards. Since the distance B between the two light module pivot axes 21, 31 remains unchanged, the front of the light module 10, ie the side facing away from the carrier 12, on which the light emerges from the light module 10, tilts downwards, with the light exit direction X tilted downwards accordingly.

In 3 If force F acts downwards, the light module 10 is pivoted so that the light exit direction X is directed upwards.

After the desired pivoting position P2, P3 is reached, the drive is stopped and fixes the light module 10 in the desired position P2, P3 via the pivoting arm 201.

Due to the design according to the invention, in which the two base pivot axes are further apart from each other than the two light module pivot axes, the imaginary straight lines intersect at a point which lies in a virtual pivot axis of the light module.

A lighting device 100 described above can be arranged, for example, in a motor vehicle headlight 1000. Such a motor vehicle headlight 1000 generally comprises a housing 1001 in which the lighting device 100 is arranged, wherein the base element 1 of the lighting device 100 is fixedly connected to the housing 1001 or is arranged on the housing 1001 so as to be adjustable thereon. For example, in 5 schematically indicated is a part 1004 of a ball joint, via which a further drive or a manual adjustment can act, and by means of which the base element 1 can be pivoted about a vertical axis 1005 in order to pivot the light beam emitted by the light module 10 to the left or right.

The drive for the pivot arm 200 is fixed in relation to the base element 1; for example, it can be fixedly mounted in the housing 1001, just like the pivot axis 201a, for which the analogous statement applies.

In addition, a motor vehicle headlight 1000 usually has a cover lens 1003, typically a clear lens or a diffuser lens, which is arranged on the housing 1001 after the light module 10 in the main light emission direction X and closes the latter.

The virtual pivot point VP or the virtual pivot axis is preferably located in the cover plate 1003 or within the headlight housing or runs through the cover plate 1003 or through the interior of the housing 1001, in an area in front of the light module 10.

The invention can meet frequently occurring design requirements for a motor vehicle headlights, the distances between the cover lens and a light module arranged in the interior of the headlight must be kept as small as possible.

The invention makes it possible to keep the height of the headlight cover lens as low as possible.

In a lighting device according to the invention based on the principle presented, the virtual pivot point can be selected relatively freely, and there is practically no deflection, in particular in the front area of the light module (e.g. in the area of a projection lens of the light module or in the area of the cover plate of the motor vehicle headlight).

By linking the system via two pivoting arms, a statically determined system is provided with a virtual pivot point in a relatively arbitrary position, as mentioned above. The freedom to choose the virtual pivot point as desired provides a wide range of design options for adjusting light modules.

The invention ensures that the light cone emerging from the light module experiences practically no deflection or change in position in the area of the cover plate, even in a pivoted position P2, P3, so that cover plates with a very low height can be realized.

The invention ensures that when the light module is pivoted, the front area of the light module, from which the light emerges and where, for example, the projection optics or projection lens is arranged, hardly changes its position or location, so that the adjustment of the light module has little or no effect on the magnifying glass effect.

With the adjustment mechanism according to the invention, for example, both a basic setting and a (dynamic) adjustment can be carried out, in particular for (dynamic) headlight range adjustment.
