Problems solved by technology

[0009] All of these factors make headlamps vulnerable to frontal collisions and increase their range of motion
The immediate effect of this is to increase the risk of damage to surrounding components, particularly the front fenders, in the event of a crash

Embodiment Construction

[0040] In this specification, when a headlight is mounted on a vehicle, the terms front, rear, upper and lower refer to the front and rear of the vehicle. The axes X, Y, Z correspond respectively to the longitudinal axis (from front to the rear), the transverse axis and the vertical axis of the vehicle.

[0041] see figure 1 , shows a front headlamp 1 of the vehicle comprising a housing 2 equipped with a lens 3 enclosing one or more light sources (not shown).

[0042] exist figure 1 Also shown in part is a fender 4, the lower part of the front apron 5 and the technical front end (TFE) 6 of the vehicle, which typically supports the cooling unit (radiator, fan, etc.) for the propulsion unit And connect various structural elements of the vehicle.

[0043] like figure 1 and Figure 3 to Figure 5 As can be seen in , the headlight 1 is mounted partly along an edge 7 of the fender 4 of the vehicle.

[0044] A mounting device mounts the headlamp on the structural elements of ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly comprising a motor vehicle headlamp (1) and a device for mounting the headlamp on structural elements of the vehicle, wherein said headlamp comprises a housing body (2), the housing accommodates at least one light source and is adapted to be installed at least partially along an edge (7) of a fender (4) of the vehicle, characterized in that the mounting device comprises a connecting piece (8 ), the link pivots about an axis of rotation (9) fixed relative to a structural element of the vehicle constituted by the vehicle's technical front surface (6) supporting the vehicle's powertrain A cooling assembly of wherein the axis of rotation (9) is contained in a longitudinal plane of the vehicle and is positioned such that a collision along a stress line (F1) lying to one side of the axis of rotation (9) causes One edge (16) of the headlight rises above the adjacent edge (7) of the fender (4) on the other side of the axis of rotation (9), and the shape of the headlight (1) is defined by The axes of rotation (9) are determined and oriented so that the headlamp pivots about the axes of rotation (9) while remaining within a predetermined rotationally symmetrical surface (S) outside the contour of the adjacent fender (4) .

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an assembly of a headlamp and means for mounting the headlamp limiting repairs to adjacent fenders in the event of a crash, and a corresponding vehicle. Background technique [0002] Headlamps (sometimes also referred to as optical units) are usually formed by a housing enclosing one or more light sources and by means of fixings to structural elements of the vehicle. [0003] Currently, motor vehicle manufacturers design the connections between the headlights and these structural elements of the vehicle so that the dynamics of the headlights meet some of the requirements in the event of a frontal crash. [0004] These standards are essentially those associated with pedestrian collisions, damage to surrounding components or vehicle design in the event of a frontal collision. [0005] Specifically, the dynamics of the headlights must be compatible with pedestrian collisions in order to reduce the risk of injury, for exam...
