Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Scheinwerfer für Fahrzeuge mit einer Leuchteinheit, die um zumindest eine Achse schwenkbar ist.The The present invention relates to a headlamp for vehicles with a lighting unit that can be pivoted about at least one axis is.
Bei herkömmlichen Scheinwerfersystemen kann eine begrenzte Anzahl von Lichtfunktionen von den einzelnen Lichtquellen des Scheinwerfersystems erzeugt werden. Diese Lichtfunktionen umfassen beispielsweise ein Abblendlicht, ein Fernlicht sowie ein Nebellicht. Mit solchen Scheinwerfersystemen lässt sich jedoch die Ausleuchtung der Umgebung nur sehr begrenzt an verschiedenartige Fahrsituationen und Wetterverhältnisse anpassen. Aus diesem Grund sind Scheinwerfermodule mit adaptiven Lichtfunktionen entwickelt worden. Durch solche Scheinwerfermodule lassen sich verschiedene Lichtverteilungen erzeugen. Dabei kann man die Lichtverteilung an die Fahr- und Umgebungsbedingungen anpassen. Solche adaptiven Scheinwerfermodule wurden im Rahmen des sog. AFS-Projekts (advanced frontlighting system) entwickelt.at usual Headlight systems can have a limited number of light functions are generated by the individual light sources of the headlight system. These light functions include, for example, a low beam, a high beam and a fog light. With such headlight systems let yourself however, the illumination of the surroundings is very limited to different types Driving situations and weather conditions to adjust. For this reason, headlight modules are adaptive Light functions have been developed. Through such headlight modules different light distributions can be generated. It can to adapt the light distribution to the driving and environmental conditions. Such adaptive headlight modules were developed as part of the so-called AFS project (advanced frontlighting system).
Scheinwerfermodule, die adaptive Lichtfunktionen bereitstellen, sind üblicherweise sowohl um eine vertikale als auch um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar. Hierdurch kann ein dynamisches Kurvenlicht sowie ggf. ein Schlechtwetterlicht bereitgestellt werden. Hierbei ergibt sich jedoch der Nachteil, dass die Bewegung der Leuchteinheit nicht sichtbar ist. Dies vermindert die Akzeptanz eines solchen Scheinwerfers. Ferner lässt sich vom Fahrer und von außen nicht ohne Weiteres überprüfen, ob das Schwenken der Leuchteinheit zuverlässig durchgeführt wird.Headlight modules, that provide adaptive lighting functions are common can be swiveled around a vertical as well as a horizontal axis. This can be a dynamic cornering light and possibly a bad weather light to be provided. However, this has the disadvantage that the movement of the light unit is not visible. This diminishes the acceptance of such a headlamp. Furthermore, from the driver and from outside not easily check whether the pivoting of the lighting unit is carried out reliably.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Scheinwerfer für Fahrzeuge der Eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, dessen Schwenkbewegungen überprüft werden können und der ein verbessertes Erscheinungsbild besitzt.It is therefore the object of the present invention, a headlamp for vehicles to provide the type mentioned, the pivoting movements are checked can and that has an improved appearance.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Scheinwerfer mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This The object is achieved by a Headlights with the features of claim 1 solved. advantageous Training and further education result from the dependent claims.
Der erfindungsgemäße Scheinwerfer weist eine Anzeigeeinrichtung auf, welche den Schwenkwinkel der Leuchteinheit anzeigt. Die Anzeigeeinrichtung umfasst vorzugsweise eine von außen sichtbare Skala. Durch die Anzeigeeinrichtung mit der Skala lässt sich von außen ohne weiteres feststellen, ob und ggf. in welchen Winkel die Leuchteinheit des Fahrzeugs verschwenkt ist. Die Funktionsfähigkeit der verschwenkbaren Leuchteinheit kann dadurch von außen überprüft werden. Durch die Skala wird außerdem die Bewegbarkeit der Leuchteinheit optisch unterstrichen. Dies führt zu einer subjektiven Wertsteigerung des Scheinwerfers und damit des Fahrzeugs. Die Anzeigeeinrichtung bzw. die Skala weist auch dann auf die Bewegbarkeit hin, wenn sich das Fahrzeug nicht bewegt und somit auch keine Schwenkbewegungen der Leuchteinheit durchgeführt werden. Außerdem führt die Anzeigeeinrichtung zu einem innovativen Erscheinungsbild des Scheinwerfers.The headlights according to the invention has a display device which shows the swivel angle of the Indicates lighting unit. The display device preferably comprises one from the outside visible scale. Through the display device with the scale from the outside easily determine whether and if so at what angle the light unit of the vehicle is pivoted. The operability of the swiveling This allows the lighting unit to be checked from the outside. Through the scale will also the mobility of the lighting unit is visually emphasized. This leads to a subjective increase in the value of the headlight and thus the vehicle. The display device or the scale then also points to the mobility when the vehicle is not moving and therefore no swiveling movements of the lighting unit become. Moreover leads the Display device for an innovative appearance of the headlamp.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Scheinwerfers ist die Leuchteinheit zumindest um eine vertikale Achse schwenkbar. Die erste Skala zeigt in diesem Fall den horizontalen Schwenkwinkel der Leuchteinheit an. Die Leuchteinheit kann in diesem Fall adaptive Lichtfunktionen, insbesondere ein statisches oder dynamisches Kurvenlicht bereitstellen. Die erste Skala für den horizontalen Schwenkwinkel weist somit sichtbar auf die Werthaltigkeit des Scheinwerfers hin. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung erstreckt sich die erste Skala in einer horizontalen Ebene beidseitig der Leuchteinheit.According to one The preferred embodiment of the headlight according to the invention is the lighting unit at least pivotable about a vertical axis. The first scale shows in this case the horizontal swivel angle of the lighting unit on. In this case, the lighting unit can adaptive lighting functions, in particular provide a static or dynamic cornering light. The first scale for the horizontal swivel angle thus clearly shows the intrinsic value of the headlight. According to one preferred embodiment, the first scale extends in a horizontal level on both sides of the lighting unit.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Scheinwerfers ist die Leuchteinheit zumindest um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar. In diesem Fall zeigt eine zweite Skala den vertikalen Schwenkwinkel der Leuchteinheit an. Die zweite Skala ist vorzugsweise um die horizontale Achse herum angeordnet. An der zweiten Skala kann der Schwenkwinkel für Leuchtweitenregulierung abgelesen werden. Ferner kann die zweite Skala Hinweise auf weitere adaptive Lichtfunktionen, wie z.B. ein Schlechtwetterlicht oder ein Autobahnlicht aufweisen, bei denen die Leuchteinheit nach oben bzw. nach unten geschwenkt wird.According to one another preferred embodiment of the headlight according to the invention the lighting unit is at least pivotable about a horizontal axis. In this case, a second scale shows the vertical swivel angle the light unit. The second scale is preferably around the horizontal Axis arranged around. On the second scale, the swivel angle for headlight range control be read. Furthermore, the second scale can indicate further information adaptive light functions, e.g. a bad weather light or have a freeway light with the light unit facing upwards or is pivoted down.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Scheinwerfers weist die Leuchteinheit eine der Skala zugeordneten Markierung auf. Die Markierung oder die Skala wird mit der Leuchteinheit geschwenkt, so dass auf einfache Weise der Schwenkwinkel an der Skala abgelesen werden kann. Die Skala kann beispielweise durch Einkerbungen in Gehäuseteilen des Scheinwerfers gebildet sein.According to one preferred development of the headlamp according to the invention has the Light unit on a marking assigned to the scale. The mark or the scale is pivoted with the light unit, so that on the swivel angle can be easily read on the scale. The scale can, for example, by indentations in housing parts of the headlight.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Scheinwerfers ist die Anzeigeeinrichtung im Innenraum des Fahrzeugs angeordnet. Sie kann entweder ausschließlich im Innenraum vorgesehen sein oder zusätzlich zu der von außen sichtbaren Skala. Auf diese Weise kann auch während der Fahrt die Schwenkbewegung der Leuchteinheit verfolgt werden. Auf diese Weise kann der Fahrer während der Fahrt überprüfen, ob die Leuchteinheit Schwenkbewegungen ausführt. Ferner wird auch durch die Anzeigeeinrichtung im Innenraum des Fahrzeugs die Werthaltigkeit des Scheinwerfers optisch unterstrichen.According to a further preferred embodiment of the headlight according to the invention, the display device is arranged in the interior of the vehicle. It can either be provided exclusively in the interior or in addition to the scale visible from the outside. In this way, the pivoting movement of the lighting unit can also be tracked while driving.
