Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a headlamp system for a vehicle having a light source, an opening through which the light emitted by the light source passes to provide a first light function, and a first device, by means of which at least a part of the light emitted by the light source to provide a second light function can be deflected and decoupled.
  • the DE 10 2005 023 817 A1 describes, for example, a vehicle headlamp with a light source whose light emission can be used for two light functions.
  • a pivotable mirror is brought into the main emission direction for the first light function. This mirror can deflect the light of the first light function partly so that the light is coupled into a light guide and coupled out at any location as a second light function.
  • the DE 100 03 061 A1 describes a lighting system for motor vehicles with a daytime signal light function, wherein a headlamp is used with only one discharge lamp, a reflector and a lying in the main emission adjustable diaphragm.
  • the DE 195 26 023 A1 describes a headlamp for generating defined light / dark boundaries for asymmetrical low beam, with apertures and reflectors be used. Furthermore, the document describes possibilities for using further light functions when using only one light source.
  • the headlamp system according to the invention is characterized by a second device, with which the opening for the first light function is optically closed, wherein the light emitted from the light source and incident on the second device light can not be coupled out to provide the second light function.
  • the second device is provided in particular separately from the first device.
  • the headlamp system according to the invention can be adapted very flexibly to different space conditions, since the first means for deflecting and decoupling the light for the second light function can be formed and arranged independently of the second means for closing the opening for the first light function.
  • a plurality of light functions can be provided more flexibly. Namely, if, as in the introductory cited prior art, closed by a device at the same time the beam path for a light function and coupled out light for another light function, both light functions can not be operated together. However, if, as in the headlight system according to the invention, the beam path for the one light function can be closed or opened independently of the light extraction for the other light function, both light functions can be operated both separately and together.
  • the second device comprises a pivotable or displaceable diaphragm.
  • the selection of the installation space can be chosen flexibly by this design, since the aperture can be moved from different sides in front of the opening.
  • the first device comprises at least one reflector.
  • the reflector for the light outcoupling of the light emission of the light source for the second light function is pivotable or displaceable, wherein light emitted by the light source is reflected by the reflector in a first position and the reflector is not in the beam path in a second position the light emitted by the light source is located.
  • the reflector does not influence the first light function in the second position, while the reflector in the first position can purposefully decouple the light.
  • At least one further reflector is provided for deflecting the decoupled light.
  • the light can be passed around constructions in this way, in order ultimately to be radiated at a desired location.
  • the first device may comprise at least one light guide.
  • the coupled-out light can be conducted in a very simple and flexible manner over installation spaces which are difficult to access and greater distances.
  • the light guide can be split in light extraction direction, so as to couple out the light for the second light function at a plurality of locations.
  • the light for the second light function can thereby be provided flexibly at several locations.
  • the first light function of the headlight system may be a dipped beam and / or a high beam
  • the second light function a daytime running light and / or a position light.
  • multiple light functions can thus be provided flexibly.
  • the dipped beam can be used in particular alternately with the daytime running lights, the position light also in addition z. B. can be used for dipped beam.
  • Another advantage of the headlamp system according to the invention is that all light functions have the same light color, since only a single or a common light source is used for the different light functions.
  • the different embodiments of the headlamp system which has a light source, a first device for a light function and a second device for a different light function, will now be described in more detail.
  • the Fig. 1 to 4 show headlight systems 101, 201, 301, 401, which differ in the type of light extraction for a second light function and are otherwise similar with respect to the first light function.
  • the similarities of the headlamp systems 101, 201, 301, 401 will be explained.

  • a second device may optically close the opening 109, 209, 309, 409 for the first light function.
  • the second device is a shutter 108, 208, 308, 408.
  • the first light function is provided when the shutter 108, 208, 308, 408 does not optically close the opening for the first light function.
  • the first light function can no longer be provided if the aperture 108, 208, 308, 408 optically closes the opening for the first light function.
  • the apertures 108, 208, 308, 408 are respectively pivoted about the axes 110, 111, 210, 211, 310, 311, 410, 411 for opening and closing.
  • a first device is provided by means of which at least part of the light emitted by the light source 102, 202, 302, 402 can be deflected and coupled out to provide a second light function.
  • the light emitted by the light source 102, 202, 302, 402 and incident on the second device 108, 208, 308, 408 can not be coupled out to provide the second light function.
  • the second device 108, 208, 308, 408 is designed so that the light incident on it is absorbed.

  • the Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of a headlamp system 201 having two light guides 212, 216 arranged one behind the other.
  • the light guide 212 has, like the light guide 112 of the first embodiment, an area for light coupling 205, through which light from the interior of the headlight 221 for the second light function can be coupled , This decoupled light from the interior of the headlight 221 is passed in the direction of arrow 218 through the light guide.
  • the first optical fiber 212 is connected to the second optical fiber 216 through the optical fiber coupler 215.
  • the light guide 216 itself consists of a plurality of optical fiber wires. These individual optical fiber cores can continue to run in different directions at the locations 217 shown and even branch off at the locations 217 shown. The light originally decoupled in the direction of the arrow 218 can thus coupled out at different locations to provide the second light function.
  • the Fig. 3 shows a third embodiment of a headlight system 301, wherein the light extraction for the second light function via reflectors 313, 314 takes place.
  • the reflector 313 for the light extraction of the light emission of the light source 302 for the second light function is pivotable or displaceable, wherein in a first position of the light source 302 emitted light from the reflector 313 is reflected and the reflector 313 in a second position not in the beam path of the is located from the light source 302 emitted light.
