Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Scheinwerfer für Fahrzeuge mit einem schalenförmigen Reflektor, mit einer dem schalenförmigen Reflektor zugeordneten Lichtquelle, mit einer zwischen der Lichtquelle und einer Linse angeordneten und zur Erzeugung von mehreren abgeblendeten Lichtfiguren dienenden Blendenvorrichtung, welche eine feststehende Blende für Fernlicht und eine erste verstellbare Blende für asymmetrisches Abblendlicht aufweist.The invention relates to a headlight for vehicles with a cupped reflector, with a cupped reflector associated light source, with a between the light source and a lens arranged and to generate several dimmed light figures serving aperture device, which has a fixed aperture for high beam and has a first adjustable aperture for asymmetrical low beam.
Ein solcher Scheinwerfer für Fahrzeuge ist aus der EP 0 723 108 bekannt. Der schalenförmige Reflektor ist ellipsoidförmig gestaltet, und zwischen dem Reflektor und der Linse sind zwei Blenden angeordnet. Die eine Blende ist feststehend ausgeführt und weist eine Blendenkante für Fernlicht auf, während die andere Blende verstellbar ist und eine Blendenkante für asymmetrisches Licht aufweist. Die beiden Blenden sind plattenförmig ausgeführt, wobei die feststehende Blende und die andere Blende in ihrer Aktivstellung quer zur Lichtaustrittsrichtung verläuft. Die verstellbare Blende ist um eine Achse verstellbar, die benachbart und parallel zur feststehenden Blende verläuft, und überragt in ihrer Aktivstellung die Blendenkante der feststehenden Blende. Weiterhin ist ein asymmetrisches Licht für Rechts- und Linksverkehr erzeugbar. Dies ist durch ein Verschwenken der verstellbaren Blende in zwei Stellungen möglich. Dabei schwenkt die Blende um eine in Lichtaustrittsrichtung verlaufende Achse. Um die verstellbare Blende in die vorstehend beschriebenen vier Stellungen zu bewegen, sind eine bzw. mehrere aufwendig gebaute Verstelleinrichtungen notwendig. Außerdem ist eine genaue Positionierung der Blende bei den vier möglichen Einstellungen nicht sicher.Such a headlight for vehicles is known from EP 0 723 108. The cup-shaped reflector is ellipsoidal, and between the reflector and the lens are arranged two diaphragms. One aperture is fixed executed and has a diaphragm edge for high beam, while the other The aperture is adjustable and has an edge for asymmetrical light. The two panels are designed plate-shaped, with the fixed panel and the other aperture in its active position transverse to the direction of light emission runs. The adjustable aperture is adjustable about an axis that is adjacent and runs parallel to the fixed aperture, and towers above in its active position the aperture edge of the fixed aperture. Furthermore is an asymmetrical Light can be generated for right-hand and left-hand traffic. This is by pivoting the adjustable cover is possible in two positions. The aperture swivels about an axis running in the direction of light emission. Around the adjustable aperture to move into the four positions described above, one or several complex built adjustment devices necessary. Besides, one is exact positioning of the aperture in the four possible settings is not for sure.
Bei dem aus der EP 0 864 804 bekannten Scheinwerfer für Fahrzeuge weist eine feststehende Blende eine Blendenkante für Fernlicht und eine verstellbare Blende eine Blendenkante für asymmetrisches Abblendlicht auf. Die verstellbare Blende ist an der feststehenden Blende um eine Achse verschwenkbar gelagert. Die Achse verläuft parallel zur optischen Achse des Reflektors und durch einen seitlichen Bereich der feststehenden Blende hindurch.In the headlight for vehicles known from EP 0 864 804, one has fixed aperture one edge for high beam and one adjustable Fade in an aperture edge for asymmetrical low beam. The adjustable Aperture is mounted on the fixed aperture so that it can pivot about an axis. The axis runs parallel to the optical axis of the reflector and through one lateral area of the fixed panel.
Aus der DE 39 03 631 C1 ist ein Scheinwerfer für Fahrzeuge bekannt geworden, bei dem eine feststehende Blende mit einer Blendenkante für asymmetrisches Licht und eine verstellbare Blende zwischen einem Reflektor und einer Linse angeordnet sind. Beide Blenden sind plattenförmig ausgeführt und verlaufen quer zur Lichtaustrittsrichtung. Die verstellbare Blende ist um eine Achse schwenkbar, die durch einen seitlichen Bereich der feststehenden Blende hindurch geht. In der inaktiven Stellung der verstellbaren Blende verläuft ihre Blendenkante unterhalb der Blendenkante der feststehenden Blende, während die verstellbare Blende in ihrer aktiven Stellung zusammen mit der feststehenden Blende eine Blendenkante für symmetrisches Licht aufweist.A headlight for vehicles has become known from DE 39 03 631 C1, where a fixed aperture with an aperture edge for asymmetrical Light and an adjustable aperture between a reflector and a lens are arranged. Both panels are plate-shaped and run across to the light exit direction. The adjustable panel can be swiveled around an axis, that passes through a lateral area of the fixed diaphragm. In the the inactive position of the adjustable diaphragm runs below its diaphragm edge the diaphragm edge of the fixed diaphragm, while the adjustable diaphragm in their active position together with the fixed aperture Has aperture edge for symmetrical light.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es nun, den im Oberbegriff beschriebenen Scheinwerfer für Fahrzeuge derart zu gestalten, daß sowohl zwischen Fernlicht und asymmetrischem Licht (für Rechts- bzw. Linksverkehr) als auch zwischen Fernlicht und symmetrischem Licht schaltbar ist und trotzdem die Blende für symmetrisches Licht nur in zwei Stellungen verstellbar ist.The object of the invention is now that described in the preamble Design headlights for vehicles so that both between high beam and asymmetrical light (for right-hand or left-hand traffic) as well as between High beam and symmetrical light is switchable and still the cover for symmetrical light can only be adjusted in two positions.
Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß eine zweite verstellbare Blende der Blendenvorrichtung zur Erzeugung eines symmetrischen Lichts in der Aktivstellung der ersten Blende dient und, in Lichtaustrittsrichtung gesehen, in einen an die erste Blende angrenzenden Bereich verstellbar ist, der zur Erzeugung der weitreichenden Lichtstrahlen des asymmetrischen Lichts dient, wobei die erste und zweite Blende in ihrer Aktivstellung zur Erzeugung einer Hell-Dunkel-Grenze für das symmetrische Licht eine gemeinsame Blendenkante aufweisen und die zweite Blende mit ihrem unteren Rand zu einem Blendenkantenabschnitt der ersten Blende angrenzend verläuft. Bei nur zwei möglichen Einstellungen der verstellbaren Blende für asymmetrisches Licht ist eine genaue Positionierung der Blende in ihrer Aktivstellung sicher. Außerdem kann die Einstelleinrichtung der ersten Blende einfach ausgeführt sein, da nur zwei Einstellungen nötig sind. Die zweite Blende ist nur dann in ihre aktive Stellung zu verstellen, wenn zum Beispiel ein Fahrzeug für Rechtsverkehr vorübergehend in ein Land für Linksverkehr kommt. In der aktiven Stellung der ersten Blende besteht dann statt dem asymmetrischen Licht symmetrisches Licht. In der inaktiven Stellung der ersten Blende bleibt die zweite Blende in ihrer Stellung stehen und steht somit im Fernlichtkegel. Trotzdem wirkt sich die zweite Blende für das Fernlichtbündel nicht störend aus, da sie in Lichtaustrittsrichtung nur sehr schmal ausgeführt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a second adjustable aperture of the aperture device to generate a symmetrical Light in the active position of the first aperture serves and, in the light exit direction seen, is adjustable in an area adjacent to the first screen, the serves to generate the long-range light rays of asymmetrical light, the first and second diaphragms in their active position for generating a Light-dark boundary for the symmetrical light a common diaphragm edge have and the second panel with its lower edge to one Diaphragm edge section of the first diaphragm runs adjacent. With only two possible settings of the adjustable aperture for asymmetrical light an exact positioning of the cover in its active position. Moreover the adjustment of the first panel can be carried out simply because only two settings are necessary. The second aperture is only active in it Adjust position if, for example, a vehicle for right-hand traffic temporarily comes to a country for left-hand traffic. In the active position of the The first aperture then consists of symmetrical light instead of asymmetrical light. When the first aperture is inactive, the second aperture remains in its Stand position and is thus in the high beam cone. Nevertheless, the second has an effect Aperture for the high beam is not distracting, since it is in the direction of light emission is very narrow.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist es weiterhin vorteilhaft, wenn die zweite Blende stabförmig und im Querschnitt rechteckförmig ausgeführt ist und mit schmalen Seitenflächen quer zur Lichtaustrittsrichtung verläuft. Eine stabförmige Blende ist kostengünstig aus einem Blech herstellbar.In this context, it is also advantageous if the second aperture is rod-shaped and rectangular in cross-section and narrow Side surfaces run transversely to the light exit direction. A rod-shaped aperture is Can be produced inexpensively from sheet metal.
Die Blendenvorrichtung ist einfach aufgebaut, wenn die erste, zweite und die feststehende Blende in ihrer Hauptausdehnung quer zur optischen Achse des Reflektors verlaufen, wobei die erste und zweite Blende in ihrer inaktiven Stellung unterhalb der Blendenkante der feststehenden Blende angeordnet sind. Die feststehende Blende kann so großflächig ausgeführt sein, daß sie mit ihrem äußeren Rand an dem vorderen Rand des Reflektors befestigt ist. Dadurch bilden die feststehende Blende und der Reflektor eine stabile Einheit.The aperture device is simple in construction when the first, second and fixed aperture in its main dimension transverse to the optical axis of the Reflector run, the first and second diaphragm in their inactive position are arranged below the diaphragm edge of the fixed diaphragm. The fixed aperture can be so large that it with your outer edge is attached to the front edge of the reflector. Form thereby the fixed aperture and the reflector form a stable unit.
Die Blenden sind genau zueinander positionierbar, wenn die erste und die zweite Blende an der feststehenden Blende verstellbar gelagert sind. Die Blenden bilden somit eine an dem Reflektor festsetzbare Baueinheit. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es weiterhin vorteilhaft, wenn die erste und zweite Blende um beabstandete Achsen schwenkbar sind, die parallel zur optischen Achse verlaufen und durch einen seitlichen Bereich der feststehenden Blende hindurch gehen. Dadurch baut die Blendenvorrichtung sehr kompakt, insbesondere dann, wenn die zweite Blende zwischen der ersten und der feststehenden Blende angeordnet ist. Die Blendenvorrichtung ist kostengünstig herstellbar, wenn die erste Blende durch einen elektrischen Aktor und die zweite Blende durch eine manuell betätigbare Rastvorrichtung in eine aktive und inaktive Stellung schwenkbar sind. Die manuelle Rastvorrichtung für die zweite Blende ist sinnvoll, da diese in der Regel nur sehr selten benutzt wird.The panels can be positioned exactly in relation to each other when the first and the second Aperture on the fixed panel are adjustable. Form the bezels thus a unit that can be fixed on the reflector. In this context it is also advantageous if the first and second diaphragms are spaced apart Axes are pivotable, which run parallel to and through the optical axis go through a side portion of the fixed bezel. This builds the aperture device is very compact, especially when the second Aperture is arranged between the first and the fixed aperture. The Aperture device is inexpensive to manufacture when the first aperture an electrical actuator and the second panel by a manually operated Latching device can be pivoted into an active and inactive position. The Manual locking device for the second screen is useful, as this is usually is used very rarely.
