Description

Technical Field

[0002] For night driving, the importance of automobile lighting systems, especially automobile headlights, is self-evident. When the car is driving at high speed, the dazzling high beam may cause the driver to lose control of the car, and then unpredictable dangers may occur. Therefore, the car headlights should not only provide the driver with a wide visual range and good visual conditions, but also affect other road participants as little as possible and avoid dazzling other road participants. With the development of technology, matrix LED headlights have become one of the future development directions of automobile lights. The light source of matrix LED headlights is composed of multiple LEDs, which are arranged in a certain way to form an array pattern. According to the position of vehicles and pedestrians in the field of vision in front of the vehicle, the matrix LED headlights can turn off the LEDs in the corresponding area to avoid dazzling pedestrians or oncoming drivers.

The Chinese utility model patent with application date of April 13, 2018 and application number 201820529985.0 discloses an optical module and a headlight. The light concentrator used in the optical module includes a plurality of light guides, and the light input ends of each light guide correspond to each light source. The light output ends converge together to form an arc-shaped light output portion. The light concentrator has a converging effect on the light emitted by the light source, and makes the light emitted by adjacent light sources merge to a certain extent on the light output surface of the concentrator, so that the light spots formed by the light emitted by each light source are more evenly connected. However, the structure of the concentrator is very complex, and the relative position accuracy between the light guides needs to be guaranteed.

The terms are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0049] refer to Figures 1 to 4The vehicle lamp module in the basic scheme of the present invention comprises a light source 1, a focusing part 2 and a light emitting element arranged in sequence along the emitting direction of the light source 1, wherein the light source 1 may be an LED light emitting chip, an OLED light emitting chip or a light emitting chip based on a laser light source; the focusing part 2 may include at least one focusing element 21, each focusing element 21 corresponds to a light source 1 behind it, and the light emitting element adopts an aspheric lens 3. The divergent light emitted by the light source 1 is converged by the focusing element 21 and emitted to the light incident surface 31 of the aspheric lens 3, and emitted from the light emitting surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3. By adjusting the surface curvature of the light emitting surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3, the refractive power of the aspheric lens 3 can be changed, so as to project the desired high beam light distribution pattern on the light screen. When the focusing portion 2 includes only one focusing element 21, the vehicle lamp module can realize the basic high beam function and obtain the high beam light shape that complies with the regulations. When the focusing portion 2 includes multiple focusing elements 21, the light source 1 corresponding to the rear of each focusing element 21 is separately addressed, and the high beam lighting area is subdivided into multiple lighting areas. When the on-board sensor system detects an oncoming vehicle in the opposite lane, the light source 1 in the corresponding area is turned off, which effectively prevents the glare of the high beam and has a good lighting effect in other areas of the road, realizing the adaptive high beam function.

[0050] Preferably, the central transverse cross section of the aspheric lens 3 intersects with the light exit surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3 to form a central transverse section 34, and the central transverse section 34 has a first curvature dividing point and a second curvature dividing point, the first curvature dividing point is any point between the midpoint of the central transverse section 34 and the left end point, and the second curvature dividing point is any point between the midpoint of the central transverse section 34 and the right end point. The positions of the first curvature dividing point and the second curvature dividing point can be set symmetrically, or can be adjusted according to the desired light shape, or can be set asymmetrically, or can be as follows Fig.11 As shown, they are all arranged at the midpoint of the central transverse section 34. For the convenience of description, the curve between the first curvature dividing point and the second curvature dividing point of the central transverse section 34 is called the middle curve, the curve from the first curvature dividing point to the left endpoint of the central transverse section 34 is called the left curve, and the curve from the second curvature dividing point to the right endpoint of the central transverse section 34 is called the right curve. The curvatures of the middle curves are equal, and the curvatures of the left curve and the right curve both change in a manner that they first increase and then decrease in a direction away from the optical axis 35. Preferably, the curvature can be reduced to be equal to the curvature of the middle curve. More vividly, in order to facilitate the description of the change in curvature of the light-emitting surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3 of the present invention, a virtual spherical lens is constructed based on the aspheric lens 3. The spherical lens has a constant curvature from the center to the edge of the lens and the curvature of the center of the light-emitting surface of the spherical lens is the same as the curvature of the center of the light-emitting surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the solid line in the figure is the central longitudinal section 33 or the central transverse section 34 of the aspherical lens 3, and the dotted line is the longitudinal section or the transverse section at the corresponding position of the spherical lens. Compared with the traditional spherical lens, since the curvature variation rule of the middle curve of the central transverse section 34 of the aspherical lens 3 is the same as that of the middle curve of the transverse section at the corresponding position of the spherical lens, and the curvatures of the left curve and the right curve of the central transverse section 34 of the aspherical lens 3 are both greater than the curvatures of the left curve and the right curve of the transverse section at the corresponding position of the spherical lens, the light emission direction of the left and right parts of the aspherical lens 3 is emitted in the direction close to the optical axis 35; since the curvatures of the left curve and the right curve of the central transverse section 34 of the aspherical lens 3 first increase and then decrease in the direction away from the optical axis 35, the amplitude of the emitted light of the left and right parts of the aspherical lens 3 close to the optical axis 35 first increases and then decreases, that is, when the curvature increases, the light has a tendency to be gradually projected in the direction close to the optical axis 35, and when the curvature decreases, the light gradually changes from being projected in the direction close to the optical axis 35 to being projected in the direction away from the optical axis 35. The curvature variation rule of the central transverse section 34 enables the outgoing light in the left and right directions of the light-emitting surface of the aspherical lens 3 to achieve high brightness in the middle area as a whole, blurred boundaries between light spots, and improved light shape uniformity.

[0051] More preferably, reference Fig.10 Any longitudinal section of the aspheric lens 3 intersects with the light exiting surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3 to form a longitudinal section line 33. The longitudinal section line 33 has a curvature change dividing point. The curvature change dividing point can be any point between the midpoint and the upper end point of the longitudinal section line 33. The position of the curvature change dividing point can be adjusted according to the desired light shape. For the convenience of description, the curve between the curvature dividing point and the upper end point of the longitudinal section line 33 is called the upper curve, and the curve between the curvature dividing point and the lower end point of the longitudinal section line 33 is called the middle and lower curve. As a preferred structural form, the curvatures of the middle and lower curves of the longitudinal section 33 are equal, the curvatures of the upper curves of the longitudinal section 33 are equal, and the curvature of the upper end point of the longitudinal section 33 is smaller than the curvature of the lower end point of the longitudinal section 33; as another preferred structural form, the curvatures of the middle and lower curves of the longitudinal section 33 are equal, and the curvature of the upper curve of the longitudinal section 33 gradually decreases in the direction away from the optical axis 35. More vividly, compared with the traditional spherical lens, the middle and lower parts of any longitudinal section 33 of the aspherical lens 3 have the same change pattern as the middle and lower parts of the longitudinal section at the corresponding position of the spherical lens, and the curvature of the upper curve of the longitudinal section 33 of the aspherical lens 3 is smaller than the curvature of the upper curve of the longitudinal section at the corresponding position of the spherical lens. If a traditional spherical lens is used to project light, the light is basically emitted parallel to the optical axis 35 of the spherical lens, and the high beam light shape formed is as follows: Fig.13As shown, the high beam is symmetrically distributed in the area above and below the horizontal 0 degree line, which does not meet the regulatory requirements for high beam shape; refer to Fig.14 If an aspherical lens 3 is used to project light, the same light emitted from the upper curve of the longitudinal section 33 of the aspherical lens 3 is farther away from the optical axis 35 than from the upper curve of the longitudinal section of the spherical lens. Most of the high beam light shape formed is located above the horizontal 0 degree line and has a large diffusion angle at the top. Its light shape range meets the regulatory requirements for high beam light shape.

[0052] Preferably, the aspheric lens 3 is a biconvex lens, and its light incident surface 31 bulges backward along the optical axis 35 of the aspheric lens 3, so that the focal point formed by the sunlight when irradiating the aspheric lens 3 is closer to the aspheric lens 3 and away from the decorative ring, thereby avoiding the decorative ring from being burned. Of course, the aspheric lens 3 can also be a plano-convex lens, a concave-convex lens, etc.

[0053] The aspheric lens in the preferred embodiment of the present invention is based on the spherical lens, and the light exit surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3 is constructed so that the curvature of the middle curve of the central transverse section 34 is equal to the curvature of the transverse section at the corresponding position of the spherical lens, and the curvature of the left curve of the central transverse section 34 of the aspheric lens 3 and the curvature of the right curve of the central transverse section 34 of the aspheric lens 3 first increase and then decrease in the direction away from the optical axis 35 and decrease to be equal to the curvature of the middle curve, that is, the left endpoint coincides with the corresponding left endpoint of the spherical lens, and the right endpoint coincides with the corresponding right endpoint of the spherical lens; and the curvature of the middle and lower curve of the longitudinal section 33 of the aspheric lens 3 is equal to the curvature of the spherical lens, and the curvature of the upper curve of the longitudinal section 33 of the aspheric lens 3 gradually decreases in the direction away from the optical axis 35. For the aspheric lens 3 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light exit surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3 can be constructed in the following manner: the central longitudinal section line of the aspheric lens 3 is used as the contour line, and the central transverse section line 34 of the aspheric lens 3 is used as the guide line to sweep to form a curved surface; or the central transverse section line 34 of the aspheric lens 3 is divided into a plurality of line segments, and the longitudinal section line 33 of the aspheric lens 3 passing through the dividing point of each line segment is used as the contour line, and the corresponding line segment of the central transverse section line 34 is used as the guide line to sweep, and the plurality of sweeps are The surfaces are connected to form a light emitting surface 32, so that the light emitting surface 32 can be divided into a number of sweeping surfaces. During the design of the light emitting surface 32, it is convenient to adjust the parameters of each sweeping surface to fine-tune the formed light shape. The longitudinal sections 33 serving as contour lines in this form include a number of lines. Under the condition that the curvature of the upper curve of the longitudinal section 33 is less than the curvature of the longitudinal section at the corresponding position of the spherical lens, the curvature of the upper curve of each longitudinal section 33 can be different, and the position of the curvature change dividing point of each longitudinal section 33 can also be adjusted according to the desired light shape.

[0054] In the structure of the aspheric lens 3 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a light source 1 is provided at the focus of the aspheric lens 3. The refraction law of the aspheric lens 3 is more vividly described in combination with the light emitted by the light source 1: Fig.10 Since the curvatures of the middle and lower curves of the longitudinal section 33 of the aspheric lens 3 are equal, the light L1 refracted through the middle and lower parts of the light exit surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3 is substantially parallel to the direction of the optical axis 35 of the aspheric lens 3; since the curvature of the upper curve of the longitudinal section 33 of the light exit surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3 gradually decreases in the direction away from the optical axis 35, the light L2 refracted through the upper part of the light exit surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3 is emitted obliquely upward relative to the direction of the optical axis 35; with reference to Fig.11 , since the first curvature dividing point and the second curvature dividing point of the central transverse section 34 are both set at the midpoint of the central transverse section 34, and the curvatures of the left curve and the right curve of the central transverse section 34 first increase and then decrease relative to the midpoint of the central transverse section 34 in the direction away from the optical axis 35, therefore, since the curvature of the position where the refraction point of L3 is located is greater than the curvature at the midpoint, the light ray L3 is emitted in the direction close to the optical axis 35; since the curvature of the position where the refraction point of the light ray L4 is located is greater than the curvature of the position where the refraction point of the light ray L3 is located, therefore, the light ray L4 is emitted in a direction closer to the optical axis 35 than the light ray L3. The light ray L5 is emitted in a direction close to the optical axis 35; since the curvature of the position where the refraction point of the light ray L5 is located is smaller than the curvature of the position where the refraction point of the light ray L4 is located, the light ray L5 is emitted in a direction away from the optical axis 35 compared with the light ray L4; since the curvature of the position where the refraction point of the light ray L6 is located is smaller than the curvature of the position where the refraction point of the light ray L5 is located, the light ray L6 is emitted in a direction farther away from the optical axis 35 than the light ray L5, that is, it is emitted in a direction basically parallel to the optical axis 35. In this way, the aspherical lens 3 can diffuse the received light upward and project it to form a brighter and more uniform light shape in the middle. Fig.10 and Fig.11 Although the light path diagram is the light path from the light source 1 directly to the aspheric lens 3, without being focused by the focusing element 21, the light emitted by the light source 1 is focused by the focusing element 21 and then emitted to the aspheric lens 3 also follows the above-mentioned refraction law. When the focusing portion 2 includes a row of focusing elements 21, correspondingly, there is a light source 1 behind each focusing element 21, and the light emitted by each light source 1 is converged by the focusing element 21 and then emitted to the aspheric lens 3 also follows the above-mentioned refraction law. In this way, a high-beam light shape with blurred boundaries between light spots and high uniformity can be formed through the projection of the aspheric lens 3, and most of the high-beam light shapes formed are located above the horizontal 0-degree line and have a large diffusion angle above.

[0055] More preferably, reference Figures 10 to 12The aspheric lens 3 has a light exiting surface 31 and a light entering surface 32. The light entering surface 32 is an aspheric surface and may be provided with a vertical stripe structure, a horizontal stripe structure or a grid structure on the surface, so as to further diffuse the light. More preferably, the aspheric lens 3 is a biconvex lens, and its light entering surface 31 bulges backward along the direction of the optical axis 35 of the aspheric lens 3. In this way, the focal point formed by the sunlight when irradiating the aspheric lens 3 is closer to the aspheric lens 3 and away from the decorative ring, thereby avoiding the decorative ring from being burned. Of course, the aspheric lens 3 may also be a plano-convex lens, a concave-convex lens, etc.

[0056] Preferably, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The focusing part 2 may include a plurality of focusing elements 21, and the focusing elements 21 may be arranged in a single row and multiple columns in a matrix or in a multi-row and multi-column matrix. The light source 1 corresponding to the rear of each focusing element 21 is separately addressed, and the high beam lighting area is subdivided into a plurality of lighting areas. When the vehicle-mounted sensor system detects an oncoming vehicle, the light source 1 in the corresponding area is turned off to realize the adaptive high beam function.

[0057] Preferably, reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the focusing element 21 is a plano-convex lens, wherein the light incident surface of the focusing element 21 is a plane, and the light emitting surface is a curved surface convex forward. Of course, the focusing element 21 can also adopt a plano-convex, biconvex, concave-convex or concave-planar lens. The focusing element 21 is preferably a plano-convex lens. Compared with the light concentrator with a focusing cup structure in the prior art, the focusing element 21 has a simple structure and high light efficiency; under the same light utilization rate, the distance between the light source 1 and the light incident surface of the focusing element 21 can be appropriately increased to improve the heat dissipation effect of the headlight module. The light source 1 is arranged 0.1mm to 5mm behind the light incident surface of the focusing element 21, and the distance is preferably 0.5mm; and compared with the focusing element 21 with a convex light incident surface, the light incident surface of the focusing element 21 adopts a plane, and the light incident on the light incident surface is not easy to be totally reflected, which further improves the light efficiency.

[0058] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 The vehicle lamp module of the present invention further comprises a mounting frame 4 for mounting the focusing part 2, and the mounting frame 4 is provided with a positioning pin 41 and a mounting hole 42 to position and mount the focusing part 2 on other components, such as a radiator; the mounting frame 4 is provided with a flange 43 around it to enhance the strength of the mounting frame 4; the focusing part 2 and the mounting frame 4 can be integrally formed or assembled and connected.

[0059] Specifically, the light source 1 is arranged in front of the focus of the focusing element 21, and the distance is preferably 0.5 mm. Compared with the case where the light source 1 is arranged at the focus of the focusing element 21, the light will diffuse around after being refracted by the light-emitting surface of the focusing element 21, which is conducive to forming the final high-beam light shape after being refracted by the aspheric lens 3. Moreover, the light source 1 is arranged in front of the focus of the focusing element 21 to further improve the lighting effect.

[0060] More specifically, the light source 1 is disposed on the focal plane of the aspheric lens 3 so that the light distribution pattern projected on the light screen is clearer.

[0061] The vehicle lamp module in the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a light source 1, a focusing part 2 and a light emitting element arranged in sequence along the light emitting direction, wherein the focusing part 2 comprises a row of focusing elements 21 distributed in a matrix, the focusing element 21 is a plano-convex lens, the light source 1 is arranged behind the focusing element 21 and corresponds to each focusing element 21 one by one; the light emitting element is an aspherical lens 3 in the above preferred embodiment. The vehicle lamp module also comprises a mounting frame 4 for mounting the focusing part 2, the mounting frame 4 is provided with a positioning pin 41 and a mounting hole 42 for connecting with components such as a radiator, the mounting frame 4 is provided with a flange 43 around it to enhance the strength of the mounting frame 4, the focusing part 2 is assembled and connected with the mounting frame 4, or the focusing part 2 and the mounting frame 4 are directly integrally formed. When installing the vehicle lamp module, the light source 1 can be arranged 0.5 mm in front of the focus of the focusing element 21. Turn on the light source 1, and the light emitted by the light source 1 is focused by the focusing part 2 and then emitted to the aspheric lens 3. The aspheric lens 3 diffuses the received light upward and projects it to form a brighter and more uniform light shape in the middle. In addition, the light source 1 corresponding to each focusing element 21 of the headlight module is separately addressed, and the high beam lighting area is subdivided into multiple lighting areas. When the on-board sensor system detects an oncoming vehicle in the opposite lane, the light source 1 in the corresponding area is turned off, which effectively prevents the glare of the high beam, and has a good lighting effect in other areas of the road, realizing the adaptive high beam function. The vehicle light module in the preferred embodiment of the present invention can not only realize the function of adaptive high beam, but also adopts the focusing element 21 as the focusing part 2. Compared with the concentrator in the prior art, it has higher light efficiency, occupies less space, has a simple structure, is smaller in size and lighter in weight. The focusing element 21 is integrally formed with the mounting frame, which can further improve the installation accuracy of the vehicle light module. When dimming, it is only necessary to adjust the relative position of the focusing part 2 and the aspheric lens 3, thereby improving the optical accuracy of the vehicle light module. Moreover, by using the aspheric lens 3 with a changed curvature of the light emitting surface 32 as the light emitting element, a high beam light shape with higher brightness and uniformity in the middle area can be formed. Furthermore, by adjusting the curvature of the light emitting surface 32 of the aspheric lens 3, light shapes of various shapes can be flexibly obtained.
