相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求于2016年4月28日提交的美国专利申请No.15/141,107的优先权。以上申请的整个公开内容通过参引并入本文中。
技术领域
本公开涉及包括空气捕集器通道的汽车头灯组件。
背景技术
在2015年12月29日授予Vardis等人的美国专利No.9,221,331公开了一种包括给内燃发动机给送空气的进气通道或空气捕集器通道的头灯组件，并且该专利通过参引并入本文中。车辆照明在提供车辆美学设计的所期望的视觉和情感的影响方面已经变成重要的焦点。
有时所期望的美学影响需要使头灯组件包括进气通道的事实影响降到最低程度。在这种情况下，进气通道被制造得尽可能地与头灯单元类似。然而，有时通过突出进气通道的存在——比如对于具有富有挑战的高性能车辆设计来说——而最佳地实现所期望的美学影响。
发明内容
在本公开的一方面，用于汽车车辆的头灯组件包括安装至车辆的车身的头灯壳体。气流开口延伸穿过头灯壳体。联接至壳体的光引导件形成从气流开口延伸到车辆的车身的内部中的气流通道的一部分。光引导件的表面蚀刻有沿着气流通道的长度延伸的设计。LED发光单元邻近于光引导件的端部定位，以使来自发光单元的光穿过光引导件而照亮该蚀刻设计。
在本公开的另一方面，光引导件和LED发光单元包括能够作为独立单元安装至头灯壳体的子组件。
在本公开的另一方面，硬覆层覆盖光引导件的内表面，并且蚀刻有所述设计的表面是光引导件的相反的外表面。
在本公开的另一方面，头灯组件包括定位在发光单元的LED与光引导件之间的透镜，并且透镜包括使由LED发出的光在进入光引导件之前转变成所选定的颜色的材料。
在本公开的另一方面，光引导件包括限定气流通道的长度的管状构件，并且头灯壳体包括环绕光引导件的管状突出部(boss)。
在本公开的另一方面，导管在气流通道与车辆的发动机之间提供流体连通，以将穿过气流通道的空气提供至发动机。

具体实施方式
其他适用领域将通过说明书、权利要求书和附图而变得明显，其中，相同的附图标记在附图中的整个若干个示图中指代相同的特征。应该理解的是，详细的描述——包括所公开的实施方式和在描述时所引用的附图——实际上仅是示例性的且旨在出于仅图示的目的而不旨在限制本公开的范围。
图1至图8图示了用于车辆10的头灯组件16的一个示例性实施方式，该头灯组件16包括照明空气捕集器通道34。车辆10包括发动机12和将空气经由空气过滤器18提供给发动机12的进气***14。头灯组件16包括进气***14的照明空气捕集器通道34。导管20、22分别在照明空气捕集器通道34与空气过滤器18之间以及空气过滤器18与发动机12之间延伸。
头灯组件16包括安装至车辆10的前端部28(图1)且至少部分地容纳在该前端部28中的壳体24。头灯组件16包括：安装在框架42上的发光头灯单元50和头灯反射器52、发光行驶灯单元44、行驶灯反射器46以及大致支撑在由半透明盖54覆盖的壳腔30内的发光转向信号单元48。发光单元50、44和48中的任意发光单元或所有发光单元均包括LED单元。替代性地，发光单元50、44和48中的任意发光单元或所有发光单元均包括白炽灯、卤素灯泡或HID(高强度放电)灯泡中的任意者。
盖54密封地接合壳体24并至少将发光单元44和48封围在壳体24的腔30内。图示的头灯组件16包括延伸穿过密封的腔30的进气通道34。以这种方式，气流开口74与通道34协作以形成完全延伸穿过密封的第一头灯组件16的连续通路。进气通道34穿过并包括下述各者：穿过半透明盖54的气流开口74、穿过行驶灯反射器46的气流开口60以及穿过设置在壳体24的腔30内的突出部32的气流开口36。
参照图4和图5，照明空气捕集器通道组件26包括前部外密封构件56、光引导件58、后部外密封构件70、前部内环状密封构件72、前部内板密封构件76、发光通道单元78以及散热构件80。这些部件被组装成独立的子组件或单元，该独立的子组件或单元随后被联接至头灯组件16的其余部分。带螺纹构件82延伸穿过开口84以将各个部件保持在一起作为独立的子组件。替代性地，空气捕集器通道子组件单元的部件中的任意部件或所有部件单独地组装到头灯组件16中。在一个这样的替代性实施方式中，后部外密封构件70单独安装至头灯组件16的其余部分，后部外密封构件70与照明空气捕集器通道组件26的其余部分是分开的。
当组装在一起时，照明空气捕集器通道组件26的前部外密封构件56接合位于突出部32的前部处的带凸缘的表面86，并且后部外密封构件70安装在突出部32的后部88上。当密封在一起时，突出部32环绕光引导件58以防止不想要的周围光穿入或穿过光引导件58。在一方面，突出部32和光引导件58中的一者或两者包括大致锥形的内表面90，内表面90的直径随着照明空气捕集器通道从其前端部38朝向其后端部40延伸而增大。
散热构件80包括定位在内部的翅片112和延伸的后部套圈114，相邻的导管20围绕后部套圈114延伸并且导管20联接至该后部套圈114。因此，由LED 106产生的热通过翅片112被去除并且随着空气流动穿过照明通道而穿过进气***14的导管20、22，进气***14将空气经由空气过滤器18提供给发动机12。在一方面，穿过进气***14进入发动机12中的空气通过头灯组件16被至少略微地预热。
空气捕集器通道组件26限定位于进气开口74与相邻的导管20之间的照明空气捕集器通道34。在图示的示例中，光引导件58是具有带凸缘的光接收端部40的大致筒形的管状构件。位于光引导件58的相应的内表面90与外表面92之间的管状壁限定照明空气捕集器通道34。
在一方面，光引导件58的内表面90是平滑的，并且该内表面90上包括透亮的硬覆层以保护表面90免受来自吸进通道中的外物的可能的损坏或划痕。在另一方面，内表面90上的透亮的硬覆层是用于向前汽车照明的UV可固化硬罩，该硬覆层比如是以商业名称UVT610出售的并由印第安纳州的埃文斯维尔的Red Spot Paint&Varnish公司商业供应。
光引导件58的壁的外表面92具有刻蚀在该外表面92中的设计94。在一方面，刻蚀的设计94包括沿着光引导件58的大致整个长度延伸的重复的元件96。如所图示的，重复的元件96是径向间隔开的轴向延伸的线性元件。替代性地，重复的元件96是一系列的径向或周向环，这些径向或周向环轴向地间隔开而沿着光引导件58的大致整个长度延伸。
在附加的或替代性的方面，设计94包括图片标志100(图7和图8)。在其他附加的或替代性的方面，设计包括普通的或个性化的文本，比如文本标志98(图9)、以及/或者包括文本与图片标志的组合102(图10)。
空气捕集器发光单元78包括印刷电路板104，印刷电路板104包括定位在与光引导件58的后端部40相邻的密封腔108内的LED 106的环状构型。在一方面，透镜110定位在LED106与光引导件58的光接收端部或后端部40之间。在另一方面，透镜110是可互换的或选择性地涂覆有荧光或磷光材料，以在无需使用用于不同颜色的照明光通道34的不同的LED的情况下使输出的LED光在进入光引导件58之前转变成选定的颜色。
光引导件58由透亮的光引导材料——比如晶体透镜级聚碳酸酯材料——制成。来自LED 106的光经由光引导件58的光接收端部或后端部40进入光引导件58。接收的LED光沿着光引导件58穿行并由光引导件58大致限制在光引导件58的内表面90与光引导件58的外表面92之间。然而，光通过在外表面92上雕刻或刻蚀的设计94而被分散，使得该设计通过光引导件的内表面90而明显地显现，如在图10中最佳地图示。因此，看起来像是光引导件58的内表面90显现出设计94，但是该设计是定位在保护该设计免受吸进物体的损坏的外表面92上的。
如图2中示意性地示出的，车辆10可以包括驾驶员侧的头灯组件16和乘客侧的头灯组件17两者，其中，两个头灯组件16与17之间设置有护栅19。在一方面，乘客侧的头灯组件17的结构和功能是与驾驶员侧的头灯组件16相同的镜像组件。然而，应该理解的是，头灯组件16、17中的每个头灯组件的照明空气捕集器通道组件26两者是完全相同的且可互换的。
进气开口74在车辆10的前端部28处的头灯组件16、17中的定位提供了在车辆10向前移动时处于车辆10的高压力区域的附加优点。这带来了在给定的时间段内迫使更大量的空气穿过进气***14并且进入发动机12中的冲压空气效应(ram-air effect)，还进一步提高了发动机的性能。
本发明的描述实际上是仅示例性的，并且因此不背离本发明的主旨的变型旨在属于本发明的范围内。这种变型不被认为是背离本发明的精神和范围。
