Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The technical field of the invention is lighting systems for motor vehicles (private and commercial vehicles). The invention also relates to lighting assemblies including such lighting systems, capable of providing lighting and / or signaling functions.

[0002] The invention particularly relates to lighting assemblies intended to be installed at the front or rear of a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0003] It is known to place logos or distinctive symbols of brands, classes, or models of motor vehicles on motor vehicles (particularly on the front or rear) or within the vehicle's interior. These elements will be referred to throughout this document as "logos." Such logos may be unattractive and may not be noticed by vehicle users or by third parties who may happen to encounter the vehicle.

[0004] Various research and design attempts have transformed these logos into - more attractive to the vehicle's user and to third parties who may notice the vehicle; - more noticeable to the vehicle user and to third parties who may notice the vehicle; The focus has been on making it something that can be achieved.

[0005] One way to make these logos more attractive or noticeable is to light them, especially by lighting them from behind.

[0006] Nevertheless, such a solution makes the logo more complicated and less robust. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[Figure 3] 2 is another partial view of an embodiment of such a lighting assembly. [Figure 4] 1 is a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a lighting system. [Figure 5] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of a lighting system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] Unless otherwise stated, identical elements appearing in different figures are given a single reference number.

[0024] Throughout this description, the side through which light passes and exits will be referred to as the "front" and the side opposite from where the light emerges will be referred to as the "back."

[0025] In a first embodiment shown in Figure 1, the lighting assembly 1 comprises a lighting device formed by two headlamps 2, a main housing 3, and an outer lens 4. Here, a description is given of a lighting device formed by a front headlamp, but this would apply equally to a lighting device formed by a tail light. The main housing 3 comprises a first side with a forward opening 32 and a second side (opposite the first side) with two rear openings 30. In an alternative example (not shown), the lighting assembly may comprise only one headlamp and the main housing may comprise only one rear opening.

[0026] In the illustrated example, the main housing 3 has an elongated shape with two ends 39a, 39b. The front opening 32 extends from one end 39a to the other end 39b of the main housing 3, i.e., over the entire surface of the main housing 3. Each of the rear openings 30 faces the front opening 32 at one of the two ends of the main housing 3.

[0027] The outer lens 4 faces the front opening 32 of the main housing 3. The lens sealingly closes the front opening of the main housing 3. In the illustrated example, the outer lens 4 is adhesively fixed to the main housing 3. For this purpose, the outer lens 4 may be provided with ribs, and the main housing 3 may be provided with slots for receiving the ribs. Adhesive may be applied to the slots, and the ribs of the outer lens 4 may then be inserted into the slots, so as to firmly connect the outer lens 4 to the main housing 3 by adhesive. Alternatively, the outer lens 4 could be joined to the main housing 3 by welding or a hot plate welding method. It should be understood that the outer lens 4 is therefore not only hermetically fixed to the main housing 3, but also irreversibly (i.e., in other words, non-removable). The outer lens 4 and the main housing 3 thus form a non-removable panel 10. "Non-removable" means that the outer lens 4 cannot be separated from the main housing 3 without damaging the outer lens 4 and / or the main housing 3.

[0028] Each headlamp 2 is mounted to the main housing 3, positioned at one end of the main housing 3 and facing one of the rear openings 30 of the main housing 3. Each headlamp 2 has a front opening that is aligned with the rear opening 30 of the main housing 3.

[0029] When the lighting assembly 1 is mounted on a vehicle, the panel 10 covers the entire width of the front of the vehicle, with both headlamps 2 located at each end of the main housing 3 thus forming the right and left headlamps of the vehicle. Alternatively, when the lighting assembly 1 is mounted on a vehicle, the panel 10 may cover the entire width of the rear of the vehicle.

[0030] The headlamp 2 may, for example, comprise at least one light source and an optical deflection element, such as a reflector, an outer lens, or a light guide, for shaping the light beam emitted by the light source into at least a part of an illumination beam or a signaling beam. For example, the headlamp 2 may comprise an illumination module including at least one light source and an optical deflection element.

[0031] The outer lens 4 also faces the rear opening 30 of the main housing 3 so that the lighting and signaling beams formed by each headlamp 2 can thus pass through the outer lens 4 and become visible from outside the lighting assembly 1.

[0032] Each headlamp 2 comprises a sub-housing 21 which is hermetically and reversibly attached to the main housing 3, for example.

[0033] The secondary housing 21 is provided with mounting elements which cooperate with complementary mounting elements arranged on the main housing 3. For example, the mounting elements of the secondary housing 21 may be formed by protrusions arranged on the periphery of the secondary housing 21 and including through-holes, and the complementary mounting elements arranged on the main housing 3 may be formed by threaded bushings. Fixing screws can thus be inserted into the through-holes and into the threaded bushings in order to reversibly connect the secondary housing 21 and the main housing 3 to each other. The headlamp 2 can thus be removable from the main housing 3 and therefore from the panel 10.

[0034] The lighting assembly 1 advantageously comprises a gasket that is placed in a groove in the sub-housing 21 and abuts against the main housing 3 to ensure a hermetic fixation between the headlamp 2 and the panel 10. When the sub-housing 21 is joined to the main housing 3, tightening the fixing screws brings the main housing 3 into contact with the sub-housing 21, thus compressing the gasket between the main housing 3 and the sub-housing 2. This ensures a hermetic seal between the main housing 3 and the sub-housing 2.

[0035] In this example, the headlamps 2 do not have their own closing outer lenses. In other words, the front opening 25 of each headlamp is not closed by an outer lens specific to that headlamp. The outer lens 4 protects the headlamps 2 by indirectly and sealingly closing the front opening 25 of each headlamp. Specifically, the outer lens 4 sealingly closes the front opening 32 of the main housing 3, and the secondary housing 21 of each headlamp 2 is sealingly fixed to the main housing 3 at the rear opening 30. Thus, the outer lens 4 sealingly closes the front opening 25 of the headlamp.

[0036] In a variant not shown, the front opening 25 of the headlamp 2 may be hermetically closed by an outer lens specific to the headlamp 2 in question.

[0037] In the illustrated non-limiting example, the lighting assembly 1 also comprises a plurality of light guides 5, supports 50 for the light guides 5, and a mask 6. The supports 50 for the light guides 5, the light guides 5, and the mask 6 are arranged between the main housing 3 and the outer lens 4, more precisely between a first side of the main housing 3 and the outer lens 4. The supports 50 for the light guides 5, the light guides 5, and the mask 6 are thus sandwiched between the main housing 3 and the outer lens 4. The panel 10 thus comprises the light guides 5, supports 50 for the light guides 5, and the mask 6.

[0038] The support 50 for the light guide, the light guide 5, and the mask 6 are optional. The panel 10 need only comprise the main housing 3 and the outer lens 4. It is also possible for the panel 10 to comprise only one or the other of the main housing 3, the outer lens 4, and the assembly formed by the support 50 for the light guide 5 and the light guide 5, and the mask 6.

[0039] The light guides 5 are used to create a light signature that is unique to the vehicle in which the lighting assembly 1 is installed. In the illustrated example, the lighting assembly includes six light guides 5 distributed along the periphery of the front surface of the main housing 3. Two curved side light guides 5a are located at each end of the main housing 3, and two central light guides 5b connect the side light guides 5a in pairs. This distributed arrangement of the light guides 5 optimizes light guidance in the curved sections. However, the number of light guides is not limited, and it would be possible to use, for example, a single light guide or two light guides.

[0040] Each light guide 5 may be placed in a groove in a support 50 for the light guide 5 and held in place.

[0041] Each light guide 5 is fed by at least one light source located in one of the headlamps 2. The light sources feeding the light guides 5 are located in the sub-housing 21 of the headlamp 2 and are powered by dedicated power supply modules 120a, 120b, such as dedicated printed circuit boards. Thus, the panel 10 does not contain any electronic components or only a few. This allows for easier and separate replacement of the panel and one or the other of the headlamps 2. Advantageously, the light sources feeding the light guides 5 are separate from the light sources forming the illumination and signaling beams of the headlamps 2.

[0042] Each central light guide 5b is fed at a first end by a light source located in one of the headlamps 2 and at a second end by a light source located in the other of the headlamps 2. FIG. 1 shows the two light introduction sections 15b of the central light guide 5b. This dual feeding of the central light guide 5b allows the central light guide 5b to be uniformly illuminated. Each side light guide 5a is fed by a single light source located in the headlamp 2 at the same end of the main housing 3 as the corresponding side light guide 5a. FIG. 1 shows the light introduction sections 15a of the side light guides 5a.

[0043] In one embodiment (not shown), it may be envisaged that the side and / or central light guides will be fed by light sources (in combination with a dedicated printed circuit board) positioned across the headlamp 2 and the portion of the main housing 3 where the light inlet of the corresponding light guide is located.

[0044] In another embodiment (not shown), it may be envisaged that the lateral and / or central light guides are fed by light sources (in combination with dedicated printed circuit boards) located within the main housing 3 at the locations where the light inlet of the corresponding light guide is located.

[0045] The mask 6 is arranged in front of the support 50 for the light guides 5 and of each light guide 5. The mask 6 is provided with two holes 60 located at its ends and facing the respective rear openings 30 of the main housing 3. The holes 60 therefore also face the headlamps 2, and in particular the front openings 25 of the headlamps 2. The lighting and signaling beams emitted by the headlamps 2 are thus transmitted through the rear openings 30, the front openings 32 and the holes 60 to the outer lens 4, so that they are visible from outside the lighting assembly 1.

[0046] The mask 6 comprises an opaque portion 63 that allows certain parts of the illumination assembly 1 to be obscured (in particular the central part of the illumination assembly 1), and a transparent portion 61 in front of and facing the light guide 5. The light guide 5 and the light emitted by the light guide 5 can thus be seen from outside the illumination assembly 1.

[0047] Furthermore, a pattern may be drawn on the front surface of the mask 6 (corresponding to the surface facing the outer lens 4) for vehicle styling purposes. For example, the pattern may be a geometric shape.

[0048] The support 50 for the light guide 5 and the mask 6 are connected to each other by, for example, a snap fit or screw fastening. The light guide 5 is held in place by being sandwiched between the support 50 and the mask 6. Alternatively, the support 50 and the mask 6 could be connected to each other by adhesive bonding. A snap fit or screw fastening connection reduces the bonding time compared to adhesive bonding, which requires drying time.

[0049] Once assembled, the support 50, light guide 5, and mask 6 are sandwiched between the main housing 3 and the outer lens 4 and are positioned between the main housing 3 and the outer lens 4. Thus, the panel 10 with the main housing 3, support 50, light guide 5, mask 6, and outer lens 4 is joined in a non-removable manner.

[0050] The panel further comprises a logo 7 arranged between the housing 3 and the outer lens 4. The logo 7 is preferably fixed relative to the housing 3. The logo may appear in an opening 69 provided in the mask 6. For example, the housing 3 may comprise an opening 39, in particular a central opening 39, and the logo 7 may be fixed to the mask flush with the opening 39 so as to close the opening 39 and seal the panel 10. Such an opening may in particular allow the logo 7 to be attached from the rear (i.e., after the outer lens has been fixed to the housing 3). To do this, the logo 7 is introduced through the opening 39 from the outside of the panel, and then the logo 7 is fixed to the main housing 3.

[0051] The lighting assembly 1 is advantageous in that if the outer lens 4 is impacted or one of the headlamps 2 malfunctions, it may be possible to retain only the panel 10 and replace the headlamp 2, or to retain only one of the headlamps 2 and replace the panel 10 and the other headlamp 2. The logo 7 may also be removable if it passes through the opening 39 and is then secured in place.

[0052] To replace the panel 10, all that is required is to remove the lighting assembly 1, then unscrew the two headlamps 2 from the panel 10, and then re-screw the two headlamps 2 onto the new panel 10. To replace one of the headlamps, all that is required is to remove the lighting assembly 1, then unscrew the headlamp 2 to be replaced from the panel 10, and then replace the defective headlamp 2 with another headlamp 2.

[0053] In this embodiment, the panel 10 may be more or less complex depending on the options (with or without light guides, etc.), but the detachable coupling of the headlamps 2 to the panel 10 allows for a variety of (more or less sophisticated) headlamps 2 to be mounted on the panel 10 depending on the desired performance of the lighting assembly 1.

[0054] In one embodiment, the lighting assembly 1 described above comprises: - at least one light source 111; a set 110 of 111a, 111b forming a logo 7 (where the logo 7 is part of a lighting assembly) or at least one light source 111; a set 110 of 111a, 111b illuminating the logo 7 (where the logo 7 is not part of a lighting assembly), - at least a first power supply module 120a for powering the set 110 and at least a second power supply module 120b for powering the set 110 of at least one light source; The lighting assembly 100 includes:

[0055] Thus, the lighting assembly 1 a main housing 3 having a first side with a front opening 32 and a second side opposite the first side with a rear opening 30 facing at least a portion of the front opening 32; - a lighting device having a sub-housing 21; an outer lens 4 sealingly closing a front opening on the first side of the main housing 3; - a lighting system 100, which will be described in more detail below; The device may also include:

[0056] Alternatively, apart from the lighting assembly 1 described above, - at least one light source 111; a pair 110 of 111a, 111b for forming or illuminating the logo 7; - at least a first power supply module 120a for powering at least one set of light sources 110, and at least a second power supply module 120b for powering at least one set of light sources 110; A lighting system 100 including:

[0057] Advantageously, the logo 7 is an illuminated logo, in particular one that is intended to create a visual effect that a third party having the logo within their field of vision will find remarkable or attractive. To achieve this, the logo 7 is either an illuminated component, in particular a backlit component, or is made up of one or more light sources 111; 111a, 111b whose geometry and / or distribution are configured to form a symbol that is visible to third parties.

[0058] If the logo 7 is an element illuminated by one or more light sources 111; 111a, 111b, the element may be an element constructed and / or arranged to reflect at least a portion of the light rays emitted by the one or more light sources 111; 111a, 111b towards third parties. The element may therefore be opaque. Alternatively, the element may be an element constructed and / or arranged to transmit at least a portion of the light rays emitted by the one or more light sources 111; 111a, 111b towards third parties. In that case, the element is advantageously transparent or translucent. Alternatively, the element may be transparent or translucent, and the element, together with each light source, - transmitting at least a portion of the light emitted by a given light source to a third party; - reflecting at least a portion of the light rays emitted by other light sources to third parties; Alternatively, the component may comprise one or more translucent or transparent portions and one or more opaque portions.

[0059] Advantageously, the component provides a physical or mechanical support that allows the light sources 111; 111a, 111b to be fixed or held in place. The component may also provide a physical or mechanical support that allows conductors or connectors 140 to be fixed or held in place, allowing the light sources to be powered by the first power supply module 120a and the second power supply module 120b through electrical conductor harnesses 130a, 130b. The connectors 140 allow the harnesses 130a, 130b to be electrically connected to the logo 7 or to the respective light sources that illuminate the logo 7.

[0060] 2 and 3, the second power supply module 120b may be fixed to the left headlamp 2. The power supply signal from the second power supply module 120b is - To harness 162b, and to a harness 164b connected to the harness 162b via a connector 163b and comprising respective light sources arranged facing each of the inlets 15a; to a harness 166b connected to the harness 164b via a connector 165b and comprising respective light sources arranged facing each of the inlets 15b; - through connectors 167b and 150b to harness 130b, which is connected to harness 166b; and The signal delivers power to light source 111 or 111b.

[0061] The right-hand part of the lighting system 100 or lighting assembly 1 preferably has a similar (or identical, in particular symmetrical) structure to that described in the previous paragraph, and therefore will not be further described.

[0062] Each light source is preferably a light emitting diode. Each light source may in particular be an OLED. The following technologies could also be used: - light guides, especially circular light guides, - Lighting strips (long, rectangular cross section), - Reflectors combined with light-emitting diodes (especially those intended to reduce the number of light-emitting diodes).

[0063] The first power supply module 120a of at least one set of light sources 110 may include a first printed circuit board, which is preferably located at the right end of the lighting assembly, particularly within the right sub-housing 21.

[0064] The second power supply module 120b of at least one set of light sources 110 may include a second printed circuit board, which is preferably located at the right end of the lighting assembly, particularly within the left sub-housing 21.

[0065] The first power supply module 120a and the second power supply module 120b are separate and independent, so that a malfunction or failure of one of the first and second power supply modules typically does not affect the operation of the other of the first and second power supply modules.

[0066] Two embodiments of the lighting system will now be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. These embodiments differ in the nature of the electrical connections between the light sources and therefore in the way in which the light sources 111; 111a, 111b are powered.

[0067] In the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 4, all light sources 111 are connected in parallel and simultaneously powered by both the first power supply module 120a and the second power supply module 120b. The connector 140 may include diodes 121a and 121b to prevent the power supply signal from one of the first and second power supply modules from being transmitted to the other power supply module. As a result of this configuration, even if one of the power supply modules 120a and 120b fails, the other power supply still powers all light sources. However, in such a hypothetical scenario, all light sources will emit slightly lower radiation than if both power supply modules 120a and 120b were operational. Each light source 111 in at least one set of light sources 110 is thus redundantly powered by both the first and second power supply modules.

[0068] 4, it is advantageous that the light sources 111 are distributed as uniformly as possible over the entire area of ​​the logo 7, and in particular over the entire area (visible range) of the logo 7 that is visible to third parties. This makes it possible to ensure that the entire area of ​​the logo 7 that is visible to third parties is illuminated as uniformly as possible regardless of the operating states of the power supply modules 120a, 120b.

[0069] In the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 5 , the light sources 111a and 111b form a first group of light sources 111a and a second group of light sources 111b. In each group, all light sources are connected in parallel and powered by a single power supply module 120a and 120b. The first group of light sources 111a is powered by the power supply module 120a, particularly via the harness 130a and connector 140. The second group of light sources 111b is powered by the power supply module 120b, particularly via the harness 130b and connector 140. As a result of this configuration, even if one of the power supply modules 120a and 120b fails, some light sources will still be powered by the other power supply. In this hypothetical scenario, some light sources will be turned off, while others will emit normal amounts of radiation. Overall, such a configuration provides redundant power for the illumination of the logo 7.

[0070] In the embodiment described with reference to FIG. the light sources 111a of the first group are distributed as uniformly as possible over the entire area of ​​the logo 7, in particular over the area of ​​the logo 7 that is visible to third parties, and / or the light sources 111b of the second group are distributed as uniformly as possible over the entire area of ​​the logo 7, in particular over the entire area of ​​the logo 7 that is visible to third parties; It is advantageous to This makes it possible to ensure that the entire area of ​​the logo 7 visible to third parties is illuminated as uniformly as possible, regardless of the operating status of the power supply modules 120a, 120b. Preferably, the light sources in each group are distributed in such a way that the logo 7 remains uniformly illuminated from behind if a light source in the other group fails.

[0071] In another embodiment (not shown), the embodiments of Figures 4 and 5 may be combined, such that certain light sources in the set of light sources are redundantly powered by the first power supply module and the second power supply module, other light sources in the set of light sources are powered exclusively by the first power supply module, and still other light sources in the set of light sources are powered exclusively by the second power supply module.

[0072] In a variant, regardless of the embodiment, more than two power supply modules may be used to power the lighting of the logo 7.

[0073] Regardless of the embodiment, the first power module 120a may be intended to be mounted on the right side of the vehicle, and the second power module 120b may be intended to be mounted on the left side of the vehicle.

[0074] When the lighting system 100 is implemented in the lighting assembly 1 described above, the first power supply module 120a may be arranged in the right sub-housing 21 and the second power supply module 120b may be arranged in the left sub-housing 21.

[0075] Regardless of the embodiment, if the logo 7 is attached from the rear, the harnesses 130a and 130b are made slightly longer so that they can be connected to the logo 7 (via connector 140) while the logo 7 is not yet secured to the housing 3, and then mechanically secure the logo 7 to the housing 3. As can be seen above, securing the logo in this manner advantageously allows the opening 39 to be blocked.
