Definitions
- the present invention concerns a light guide for a lighting device of a vehicle as well as a lighting device with such a light guide.
- a light guide and a lighting device of the above mentioned type are known from DE 10 2012 108 855 A1.
- the lighting device described therein comprises a light guide with an entrance surface at the front, into which the light of a light source can enter.
- the light guide further comprises a plurality of prism-shaped coupling-out elements opposite an exit surface through which a portion of the light entering can exit laterally.
- the end section of the light guide facing away from the frontal entrance surface is not disclosed in detail in DE 10 2012 108 855 A1.
- Such an end region 2 of a light guide 1 has a flat surface 3 as shown in FIG. 5 .
- the light 4 can exit the light guide 1 through an exit surface 5 located on the right hand outer side.
- This exit surface 5 points, for example, in the forward direction of travel of the vehicle indicated by the arrow 6 .
- FIG. 5 shows some examples of light beams 7 that are reflected by the flat surface 3 and then emerge laterally from the light guide 1 in the end region 2 .
- These light beams 7 run in unwanted directions and therefore prove to be disturbing. They also impair the appearance of the lighting device, for example by creating so-called hot spots, because the end area appears as a bright light spot.
- the problem underlying the present invention is the creation of a light guide and a lighting device of the type mentioned above, in which the portion of light escaping unwantedly from the end area is reduced.
- the end region is structured and/or shaped in such a way that the portion of light which laterally emerges from the region adjacent to the end region after reflection at or in the end region is reduced or minimised.
- the end region is structured at least in sections.
- a suitable structure can be used to reduce the portion of light reflected back which is disturbingly emitted laterally.
- the end region is at least in sections conical or frustoconical in shape, in particular wherein the base of the cone or the frustum of a cone faces the light guide.
- the light guide has a conical tip in the end region.
- a large portion of the light is transmitted into the tip, where a large part of it exits from the tip in a widely scattered form.
- a possibly back-reflected part is mostly reflected back into the light guide out of the end area and is only very unlikely to exit laterally in the end area. In this way, the disturbing light rays exiting laterally are almost completely avoided.
- the end region comprises a plurality of conical or frustoconical sections which are in particular arranged next to one another.
- This plurality of conical or frustoconical sections also makes it possible to largely avoid the disturbing light rays emerging laterally.
- a plurality of conical or truncated conical sections can be more space-saving than a single large conical or frustoconical end section.
- the end region has a plurality of circumferential structures, in particular coaxially circumferential structures. These structures may be similar to Fresnel lenses, for example. These structures can also largely avoid the disturbing light rays that emerge sideways and at the same time be more space-saving than a single large conical or frustoconical end region.
- the entrance surface is arranged at the end of the light guide remote from the end region. In general, it has been found to be practicable to couple the light into the light guide at the front end, as in the state of the art. However, laterally arranged entrance surfaces are also possible.
- the lighting device comprises a light guide according to the invention.
- the light guide is arranged in the lighting device in such a way that, when the lighting device is installed in a vehicle, the light emerging from the at least one lateral exit surface can exit the vehicle, preferably at least partially forwards in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
- an absorption device is arranged in front of the end region of the light guide, which can at least partially absorb the light emerging from the end of the light guide. In this way the light emerging from the end of the light guide can be prevented from propagating in undesirable directions.
- a reflection device is arranged in front of the end region of the light guide, which can at least partially reflect back the light emerging from the end of the light guide, preferably reflect it back in a broadly scattered manner.
- the proportion of light propagating in unwanted directions can also be significantly reduced by, for example, uniform scattering in many different directions.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to PCT Application No. PCT/EP2020/059986, filed Apr. 8, 2020, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention concerns a light guide for a lighting device of a vehicle as well as a lighting device with such a light guide.
- A light guide and a lighting device of the above mentioned type are known from DE 10 2012 108 855 A1. The lighting device described therein comprises a light guide with an entrance surface at the front, into which the light of a light source can enter. The light guide further comprises a plurality of prism-shaped coupling-out elements opposite an exit surface through which a portion of the light entering can exit laterally. The end section of the light guide facing away from the frontal entrance surface is not disclosed in detail in
DE 10 2012 108 855 A1. - Such an
end region 2 of alight guide 1, for example, has a flat surface 3 as shown inFIG. 5 . With the light guide shown inFIG. 5 the light 4 can exit thelight guide 1 through anexit surface 5 located on the right hand outer side. Thisexit surface 5 points, for example, in the forward direction of travel of the vehicle indicated by the arrow 6. - Reflections of light 4 from the flat surface 3 prove to be problematic in such a design,
FIG. 5 shows some examples oflight beams 7 that are reflected by the flat surface 3 and then emerge laterally from thelight guide 1 in theend region 2. Theselight beams 7 run in unwanted directions and therefore prove to be disturbing. They also impair the appearance of the lighting device, for example by creating so-called hot spots, because the end area appears as a bright light spot. - The problem underlying the present invention is the creation of a light guide and a lighting device of the type mentioned above, in which the portion of light escaping unwantedly from the end area is reduced.
- The end region is structured and/or shaped in such a way that the portion of light which laterally emerges from the region adjacent to the end region after reflection at or in the end region is reduced or minimised. By an appropriate design, disturbing light beams and an impairment of the appearance of the lighting device can be largely avoided.
- It may be provided that the end region is structured at least in sections. A suitable structure can be used to reduce the portion of light reflected back which is disturbingly emitted laterally.
- There is the possibility that the end region is at least in sections conical or frustoconical in shape, in particular wherein the base of the cone or the frustum of a cone faces the light guide. For example, the light guide has a conical tip in the end region. In this tapered geometry, a large portion of the light is transmitted into the tip, where a large part of it exits from the tip in a widely scattered form. A possibly back-reflected part is mostly reflected back into the light guide out of the end area and is only very unlikely to exit laterally in the end area. In this way, the disturbing light rays exiting laterally are almost completely avoided.
- It may be provided that the end region comprises a plurality of conical or frustoconical sections which are in particular arranged next to one another. This plurality of conical or frustoconical sections also makes it possible to largely avoid the disturbing light rays emerging laterally. However, a plurality of conical or truncated conical sections can be more space-saving than a single large conical or frustoconical end section.
- It is possible that the end region has a plurality of circumferential structures, in particular coaxially circumferential structures. These structures may be similar to Fresnel lenses, for example. These structures can also largely avoid the disturbing light rays that emerge sideways and at the same time be more space-saving than a single large conical or frustoconical end region.
- It may be provided that the entrance surface is arranged at the end of the light guide remote from the end region. In general, it has been found to be practicable to couple the light into the light guide at the front end, as in the state of the art. However, laterally arranged entrance surfaces are also possible.
- It is intended that the lighting device comprises a light guide according to the invention.
- It is possible that the light guide is arranged in the lighting device in such a way that, when the lighting device is installed in a vehicle, the light emerging from the at least one lateral exit surface can exit the vehicle, preferably at least partially forwards in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
- It may be provided that an absorption device is arranged in front of the end region of the light guide, which can at least partially absorb the light emerging from the end of the light guide. In this way the light emerging from the end of the light guide can be prevented from propagating in undesirable directions.
- Alternatively, it may be provided that a reflection device is arranged in front of the end region of the light guide, which can at least partially reflect back the light emerging from the end of the light guide, preferably reflect it back in a broadly scattered manner. The proportion of light propagating in unwanted directions can also be significantly reduced by, for example, uniform scattering in many different directions.
- Reference is now made more particularly to the drawings, which illustrate the best presently known mode of carrying out the invention and wherein similar reference characters indicate the same parts throughout the views.

- The lighting device shown in
FIG. 1 comprises alight guide 10 with an entrance surface not shown, into whichlight 11 can enter. The entrance surface can be located in particular at the front end of thelight guide 10 not shown in the illustration. Furthermore thelight guide 10 comprises anexit surface 12 through which thelight 11 can exit laterally. On the side of thelight guide 10 opposite theexit surface 12, a non-imaged plurality of, for example, prism-shaped coupling-out elements can be arranged which deflect thelight 11 in the direction of theexit surface 12. - In particular, the illuminating device may be fitted to a vehicle in such a way that the
exit surface 12 faces forward in the direction of travel of the vehicle indicated by thearrow 16. - The
light guide 10 shown inFIG. 1 also includes anend region 13, which is conical in shape so that a large portion of thelight 11 is transmitted in this conical geometry to thetip 14 of theend section 13. There thelight 11 is distributed over a large solid angle range. Any reflected light is substantially reflected back out of theend region 13 into the light guide and is only very unlikely to exit laterally in theend region 13. In this way, the disturbing light rays emitted laterally are largely avoided. - The illuminating device further comprises an
absorption device 15 placed in front of thetip 14 of thelight guide 10 and capable of absorbing thelight 11 emerging from thetip 14. Theabsorption device 15, for example, is designed as a housing open on one side into which thelight 11 can enter. The inner surfaces of the housing may be coated with absorbing materials, for example blackened. - In the version shown in
FIG. 2 , instead of theabsorption device 15, areflection device 17 is arranged, which can at least partially reflect back thelight 11 emerging from thetip 14 of thelight guide 10. Thereflection device 17 can, for example, be designed as barrel optics. By means of thereflection device 17, the light 11 can, in particular, be distributed comparatively evenly over a large solid angle range, so that an impairment of the appearance of the illumination device can also be largely avoided by this measure. - The design of a
light guide 10 shown inFIG. 3 has a number of separate cones in theend section 13 instead of a single cone. Through each of thetips 14 the light 11 emerges into a large spatial angle range, so that overall a comparatively even distribution over a large solid angle range is achieved. In particular, aportion 18 oflight 11 emerging in the direction oftravel 16 can make a positive contribution to the light distribution produced by the lighting device. - The design of a
light guide 10 shown inFIG. 4 has a plurality of coaxiallycircumferential structures 19 in theend region 13 instead of a plurality of separate cones. Thesestructures 19 can be similar to Fresnel lenses, for example. Thesestructures 19 can also largely avoid the disturbing light rays emerging laterally and at the same time be more space-saving than a single large conical orfrustoconical end region 13. -
