Definitions
- the invention relates to a light module for a motor vehicle or for a motor vehicle headlamp, wherein the light module is designed to produce a dimmed light distribution, which has at least one horizontal HD line and an obliquely increasing HD line, and wherein the light module at least two Reflectors comprises, and wherein each reflector is associated with at least one LED light source, wherein at least one of the reflectors of the type HD apron reflector is which type is adapted to light of its associated at least one LED light source as apron light distribution with one in the light image imaging substantially horizontally extending HD line, and wherein at least one further reflector is of the asymmetric reflector type, which is adapted to image light of the at least one LED light source assigned to it as an asymmetry light distribution, the asymmetry light distribution being in the Essentially horizontally extending HD-L and a sloping HD line.
- the invention relates to a vehicle headlamp with at least one above-mentioned light module.
- each reflector is associated with at least one light source, the above-mentioned problem particularly evident when the light sources are LED light sources.
- Each reflector is associated with at least one LED light source, each LED light source having one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
- the construction of corresponding light modules takes place in such a way that the reflectors to the LED light sources, which are positioned on an LED board, are adjustable.
- the adjustment of the reflectors then takes place in a specially designed system which detects the light distributions generated by the individual reflectors and the reflectors such positioned so that the light-dark transitions of the individual light distribution to each other are aligned so that there is a law-compliant total light distribution.
- a very exact alignment of the reflectors is therefore of particular importance, since a slight deviation of the relative position of reflector and LED light source to each other by e.g. 0.1mm - 0.2mm already leads to a (vertical / horizontal) shift of the light distribution and to a defocusing and softening of the light-dark boundary in typical light module designs.
- the at least one reflector of the type asymmetry reflector associated at least one LED light source and the at least one reflector of the type HD front-mounted reflector associated with at least one LED light source to each other are arranged, all reflectors with respect to their associated LED light sources can be arranged in exactly one defined position, and wherein reflectors of the asymmetric reflector type and reflectors of the type HD front-mounted reflector are designed such that in the arrangement of at least one reflector The type of asymmetry reflector in its defined position and at least one reflector of the type HD apron reflector in its defined position, the horizontal HD line of the total light distribution of the horizontal HD line of at least one reflector of the asymmetric reflector type and / or of the horizontal HD line of the at least one reflector rs type HD apron reflector is formed.
- the reflectors can not be adjusted with respect to their LED light sources, but that a fixed position is provided, in which the reflectors are attached. As a result, complicated setting procedures can be avoided and the costs reduced accordingly.
- the reflectors which are calculated and manufactured according to the defined position with respect to the respective associated LED light sources, are designed such that the HD line of the total light distribution is generated either by one of the two different reflector types (asymmetry, HD apron) or by both together. It is optimal in this case if the HD line is generated by the at least one asymmetry reflector, but if its HD line is too deep in the light image, this can be formed by the HD front-end reflector.
- At least two reflectors are provided for generating the apron light distribution, at least one reflector of the type HD apron reflector and at least one reflector of the near-front reflector type.
- the at least one reflector of the type HD apron reflector generates the upper part of the apron light distribution with the upper boundary of the apron light distribution with the horizontal boundary line, while the at least one reflector of the type near-apron reflector the underlying portion of Apron light distribution forms.
- the two partial light distributions overlap.
- the horizontal boundary line or HD line forms the HD line of this apron light distribution, but can not be seen as a light-dark boundary in the total light distribution since it lies within the other partial light distributions.
- top, bottom, vertical, vertical, horizontal in connection with a photograph do not refer to the real image projected on a roadway ahead of a vehicle, but from a vertical screen in a defined Distance (eg 10 or 25 meters) projected photo.
- each system consisting of at least one reflector of a certain type and associated at least one LED light source is subject to a preferably adjustable tolerance, so that horizontal HD lines are generated in the light images generated by reflectors of the same type and associated at least one LED light source within a vertical tolerance field, with the tolerance field of each reflector type each having an upper tolerance field boundary and a lower tolerance field boundary.
- tolerance field is spoken by a reflector or reflector type, so this is the tolerance or the tolerance field of the system reflector - light source meant. For the sake of simplicity, however, only tolerance or tolerance field of the reflector is usually discussed.
- This "tolerance of a reflector type” or this "tolerance field of a reflector type” results from the fact that reflectors of a certain type are subject to a tolerance, the assigned at least one LED light source itself is subject to a tolerance, the position of the at least one LED Light source is subject to tolerance, and also the position of the reflectors is tolerant.
- tolerance field now means the following: we consider abstractly a light unit for generating a light distribution with a horizontal bright-dark boundary, the light unit has a defined light source, which is positioned on a support plate at a defined location. The carrier plate or the light unit has a defined position for the reflector.
- the light-dark boundary In a first such light unit, the light-dark boundary will assume a certain vertical position. In a second light unit constructed with identical components, the light-dark boundary will have a different vertical position, etc. (for the term “vertical”, see also the discussion below).
- the vertical range within which the generated cut-off is defined as the tolerance field.
- the "height" of the tolerance field ie the vertical extent, can be set primarily on the accuracy of the production of the reflectors.
- a defined area that is to say a defined upper and lower limit and thus also a defined height for the tolerance field of a certain type of reflector is specified. Reflectors, which do not meet these conditions, which is an outside of the tolerance field lying light-dark boundary are not used in series production.
- a light module is composed of two or more such light units. After the LED light sources of all light units sit on a common support plate or at least fixed to each other, and the positions of the associated reflectors is provided fixed, an adjustment of the tolerance fields can only be done on the design of the reflectors. It is therefore no longer referred to in the following light units, but of different types of reflectors and the tolerance fields associated with these types of reflectors

- fastening means and / or positioning means are provided, by means of which reflectors of the same type on different support plates in the same position with respect to the LED Light sources of the support plate can be positioned and fastened.
- the frequency distribution of the positions of the horizontal HD lines within the tolerance fields of the reflectors of a distribution curve for example follow a Gaussian distribution curve, the distribution curves each having a distribution maximum.
- the light image is lawful, it is further provided that in their defined with respect to the associated LED light sources positions the distribution maximum of the tolerance field of at least one reflector of the asymmetry reflector type above the distribution maximum of the tolerance field the at least one reflector of the type HD apron reflector is located.

- complicated setting procedures can be avoided and the costs reduced accordingly.
- any system consisting of at least one reflector 1, 2, 3 of a specific type and associated LED light source 10, 20, 30 is subject to a tolerance resulting from the tolerances of the reflector, that of the LED light source and the tolerances resulting from the positioning of reflector and LED light source to each other.
- This tolerance is basically adjustable and, after frequently the LED light sources are already supplied preassembled on a printed circuit board and also the positions of the reflectors are already predetermined with respect to the circuit boards, usually on the manufacturing accuracy of the reflectors are still affected.

- the apron light distribution is also possible to produce with only a single type of reflector, whereby again exactly one or even two or more reflectors of this type can be used. However, better results are generally achieved if the apron light distribution is generated by means of at least two reflectors 2, 3 of different types, as described above.
