Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rotating lighting module for vehicles and to a lighting device equipped with a plurality (i.e. at least two) of such lighting modules having rotation capabilities, preferably associated with a main non-rotating lighting module, in order to provide selectively a plurality of lighting distributions by means of the same lighting device.
  • the light source is a LED mounted on a printed circuit board and the rotating reflector is pivoting on a couple of opposite coaxial pins, a first of which is idly housed in a through seat provided in the printed circuit board and in a supporting structure thereof, and a second of which is idly housed in a second seat provided in a base of the supporting structure.
  • the lighting device 1 comprises a generally cup-shaped housing body 2 designed to be mounted on a vehicle, known and not shown for sake of simplicity.
  • Housing body 2 is made of synthetic plastic material by injection molding and has a front inlet opening 3 in use facing opposite to the vehicle and toward a forward driving direction FD of the vehicle, indicated by an arrow; the front inlet opening is closed by a transparent cover, normally constituted by a terse lens (i.e. a transparent lens not provided with optical functions), known and not shown (removed) for sake of simplicity .
  • the at least one light source 6, the actuator 8 and the rotating optical unit 10 are operatively associated with a framed support 11 holding rigid in a fixed position the light source 6 and bearing in idling manner the rotating optical unit 10.
  • the light source 6 is borne by a printed circuit board 12, also bearing electronic components 13, known in the art, to control the light source 6.
  • the first sub-assembly 15 is mechanically disconnected in rotation from the second sub-assembly 18.
  • the first sub-assembly 15 ( figures 3,4 ) comprises a rigid box-like structure 19 connecting the reflector 7 with the lens 9, facing to each other, and a shaft 20 having a symmetry axis coinciding with the first axis A (axis A1 in the embodiment shown) ; the shaft 20 is configured such as to project in cantilever fashion from the rigid box-like structure 19, in particular from the bottom thereof, namely on the side thereof facing away from the printed circuit board 12 and the respective sub-assembly 18.
  • the rolling bearings 22,23 are coupled idly with the shaft 20 at respective opposite ends 26,27 thereof; accordingly, the shaft 20 with the bearings 22,23 are configured so that the shaft 20 is the sole, unique, single support and rotational guide for the rotating optical unit 10.
  • the first sub-assembly 15 further comprises ( figure 5 ) a rod 31 designed to be removably inserted axially within the second through seat 28 in order to prevent, when inserted, any radial deformation of the shaft 20 and so rendering it completely rigid.
  • the shaft 20 has to have in axial direction a length comparable with the height of the box-like rigid structure 19 in the same axial direction.
  • the length of shaft 20 is at least of the same order of magnitude of the height of the box-structure 19 and preferably that the two differ for less than the 20%.
  • the shaft 20 has its side wall 29 provided radially outwards with at least one axial groove 32 (preferably at least three axial grooves 32 angularly spaced at 120° to each other).
  • the framed support 11 is generally C-shaped and, according to a further feature of the invention, is formed ( figure 2 ) by two specular-symmetrical half-shells 36, one of which is better shown alone in figure 3 ) mechanically coupled together side by side at a plane parallel to the half-shells 36, i.e. parallel to their laying plane, and containing the first axis A, in the example shown axis A1.
  • the two half-shells 36 are coupled together in a removable manner, so as to be separable, in the embodiment shown by means of lateral screws 37.
  • Each half-shell comprises ( figure 3 ): a L-shaped portion 38 configured as a solid, profiled element having a double T shape in cross-section and defining with its opposite wings, when the two half-shells 36 are coupled, the upper portion 16 and a middle portion 39 of the framed support 11; and a bottom cup-shaped section 40 configured such as, when the two half-shells 36 are coupled, extends parallel to and facing with the upper portion 16 of the framed support 11, to which is connected by the middle portion 39.
  • each rotating lighting module 5 is extremely easy.
  • the rotating optical unit 10 is guided with precision and without the risk of oscillations/vibrations by the combination of the partially hollow, rigid and metallic framed support 11 with the projecting shaft 20 borne rigid with the rotating optical unit 10 and with the supporting rolling bearing 22,23 thereof arranged at the opposite ends 26,27 of the shaft 20.
  • the rotating optical unit 10 is mechanically completely separated from the printed circuit board 12 as far as its rotation capability is concerned, both wear of the rotation seat through the printed circuit board (which exists no more according to the invention) and the formation of dust due to wear are avoided, so impeding both the possible generation of noise and the possible impairment of the optical performances of the lighting module in use.
