Definitions
- the present invention relates to a headlight for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 13, and a headlight for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 18.
- a headlight with a light-emitting diode arrangement is known, for example, from German utility model DE 201 15 772 ul.
- an arrangement of light-emitting diodes replaces a conventional halogen lamp.
- the light-emitting diode arrangement is provided with heat-conducting means, for example a heat sink, which can dissipate the heat of the light-emitting diodes in a suitable manner.
- heat-conducting means for example a heat sink
- white light-emitting diodes do not generate any infrared radiation, which, however, is generated by the halogen light source in conventional headlights and can be used to defrost or defrost the headlight lens.
- a headlight with the characterizing features of claim 1. Because the heat conducting means is equipped with at least one air conducting means, which is suitable for directing the outgoing air flow in a direction parallel to the preferred direction of emission of the emitted light, the heat generated by the light emitting diodes instead of the infrared radiation emitted by conventional halogen lamps becomes De-icing of the headlight lens is used, but essentially no design changes have to be made to always transport the heat, analogous to the infrared radiation of a halogen lamp, in the direction of the preferred radiation direction.
- the heat conducting means has a cylindrical shape, at least in sections, wherein a core is provided, from which cooling fins extend in the radial direction, the spaces between the cooling fins forming air guiding channels.
- a configuration of the heat conducting means is compact and is particularly suitable for forming a heated outgoing air flow which is aligned parallel to the preferred direction of emission of the light-emitting diode arrangement.
- the cooling ribs extend in the longitudinal direction of the heat-conducting medium, the core having a cutout which is suitable for receiving the light-emitting diode arrangement.
- the heat conducting means is also used as a receiving means for the light-emitting diode arrangement, whereby there is a very compact embodiment of the headlamp.
- the core has a conical shape. Accordingly, the heat-conducting medium can flow from the tip side of the core, the streamlined shape of the core resulting in advantageous flow behavior with little pressure loss.
- the heat-conducting means to be rotatable about its longitudinal axis and to have a semi-cylindrical shape at least in sections, the cooling fins extending in the circumferential direction and the core having a cutout which accommodates the
- LED arrangement is suitable.
- Such an arrangement is particularly suitable for, for example, a rotatable configuration of the combination of heat sink and light-emitting diode arrangement. If, for example, the heat conducting medium is rotated about its longitudinal axis, the inflow profile of the heat conducting medium does not change significantly since the cooling fins are arranged in the circumferential direction or in the direction of rotation. In this way, a cornering headlamp or the inclination adjustment of a headlamp can be realized with a simultaneously advantageous air flow behavior.
- the heat-conducting means has a cuboid shape, the heat-conducting means having a cover plate extending from the cooling fins, the spaces between which form air guiding channels for conducting the outgoing air flow, the cover plate being suitable for receiving the light-emitting diode arrangement , wherein an optical deflection means is provided which is suitable for the light generated by the light-emitting diode arrangement in one direction redirect parallel to the outgoing air flow.
- a cuboidal heat sink is used, which is easy to process and is available in large quantities as a semi-finished product.
- a housing is provided for receiving the heat-conducting agent, which forms a pivoting receptacle for the heat-conducting agent, in which the heat-conducting agent is pivotably received, the housing at least in sections in the region of an opening which is used to flow against the heat-conducting agent with the incoming airflow is suitable.
- Rib surface is independent of the swivel angle of the heat transfer medium.
- the heat-conducting medium is enclosed by a heat-conducting medium housing, which has retaining webs which are suitable for receiving a lens or a shade in front of the light-emitting diode arrangement.
- a heat-conducting medium housing which has retaining webs which are suitable for receiving a lens or a shade in front of the light-emitting diode arrangement.
- the arrangement of retaining webs on the heat-conducting agent housing further contributes to a compact design of the headlight.
- the recess is equipped with a reflector and / or has a reflective surface. This achieves a good light yield in the direction of the preferred direction of radiation.
- a heat exchanger is provided which is suitable for optionally supplying or removing heat from the air flow. In this way, the temperature of the air flow can be influenced in a suitable manner, for example the air flow can be preheated for faster heating or additionally cooled at extremely high outside temperatures.
- Heat conducting means is suitable for directing the outgoing air flow in the direction of the preferred direction of emission of the emitted light.
- the headlight is equipped with a further heat-conducting means which is suitable for directing an outgoing air flow against the preferred direction of emission of the emitted light. Accordingly, a combination of such
- Thermally conductive elements both an air supply and air removal from the light room can be achieved.
- Such a combination is conceivable, for example, in the case of a headlight which is equipped with a low beam and a fog lamp and / or separate high beam.
- Airflow in the manner according to the invention can be discharged, for example, via the heat-conducting agent of the fog lamp.
- a headlight condensation protection is known from EP 0 859 188 A2, in which an air flow comes into contact with the headlight pane and condensation on optical surfaces can be avoided.
- a separate heating element for example a heating wire, is to be provided which can preheat the air flow. It is also known to equip the light-emitting diode arrangement with a heat-conducting agent and to heat the air flow through the heat emitted by the light-emitting diode arrangement. This makes it possible to dispense with the use of a separate heating element.
- the heat source as such cannot be regulated, because the main task of the lighting device is still to act as a light source. Problems arise in this case, in particular in the case of extremely high, but also extremely low, ambient temperatures, for example because the lamps cannot be cooled sufficiently or take far too long to provide sufficient heat to defrost the headlamp lens.
- this object is achieved by a headlight with the characterizing features of claim 13.
- a heat exchanger is provided which is suitable for selectively supplying or withdrawing heat from the air flow, the air flow being able to come into contact with the headlamp lens, has a suitable regulating influence on the temperature of the air flow.
- the air flow can be preheated for faster heating or additionally cooled at extremely high outside temperatures.
- the Means for generating an air flow is a motor-driven fan. This measure enables a constant and controllable air flow to be provided.
- the air flow circulates between the headlamp lens, the heat exchanger and the heat-conducting agent. Accordingly, the influence of ambient air can be largely excluded and the air flow can be heated up much faster, for example.
- the heat-conducting agent has cooling fins which are oriented approximately parallel to the air flow.
- the headlight to have a housing, an air-flow guide being provided within the housing, which is designed as a housing wall and is suitable for deflecting the air flow onto the heat-conducting agent.
- headlights which are equipped with a plurality of light-emitting diode arrangements have a high need for cooling.
- the headlamp must be a compact unit that has to be fitted into a limited installation space.
- the headlamp is equipped with at least one deflecting blade with at least a first section and a second section, the first section being suitable for directing part of the air flow onto the first heat sink and the second section being suitable for directing part of the air flow
- the individual heat sinks of the assigned light diode arrangements can be flowed on in a very targeted and thus effective manner, a comparatively small installation space being required since, for example, only one fan is required.
- the deflection vane is designed as part of the housing.
- the deflection vane provides an integral
- Part of the housing which can be used, for example, to optimize the manufacturing and assembly process.
- the deflection vane has an approximately V-shaped cross section.

- the heat conducting means 3 is designed to be rotationally symmetrical about its longitudinal axis 11. To accommodate the LED arrangement 2, the heat-conducting means 3 has a conical recess 14 within the solid core 13, the conical recess 14 being able to continue in the area of the cooling fins 10.

- This heated outgoing air flow 5 heats up the lens 17 and the headlight lens 6 in a suitable manner and thus keeps them free of ice and fog.
- heat-conducting agent 3, heat-conducting agent housing 8, including lens 17 and light-emitting diode arrangement 2 is designed to be pivotable relative to a support frame 9.
- the support frame 9 can be part of the headlight 1 and has an opening 15 through which the incoming air flow 4 can be fed to the heat sink 3.

- cooling fins 23 are aligned in the circumferential direction and not in the longitudinal direction.
- the cooling fins 23 form air channels 25, which can be flowed against by an incoming air flow 4, and leave the heat-conducting agent 20 in an outgoing air flow 5, which is essentially aligned with the headlight lens 6.
- a recess 22 is provided for receiving the light-emitting diode arrangement 2, its optical axis is also aligned in the direction of the headlamp lens 6.
