本发明的透镜单元的入光部能够第一单方向准直且其出光部能够第二单方向准直,能够在满足光形、光学性能和光学效率等方面要求的情况下,缩小透镜单元的出光部的上下尺寸;具体地,入光部具有第一单方向准直是指:在第一方向剖面中,入光部在第一方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,在与第一方向垂直的垂直方向剖面中,入光部在该方向的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得入光部对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在第一方向剖面内入光部对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,入光部在第一方向剖面位置范围内对发散光线具有单一方向的准直效果,即入光部主要是对光线在第一方向上进行偏折。出光部具有第二单方向准直是指:在第二方向剖面中,出光部在第二方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,在与第二方向垂直的垂直方向剖面中,出光部在该方向的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得出光部对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在第二方向剖面内出光部对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,出光部在第二方向剖面位置范围内对光线具有单一方向的准直效果,即出光部主要是对光线在第二方向上进行偏折,能够对出射的光线进行第二方向的扩展,满足光形、光学性能等方面的要求。这种结构设计使得入光部对光源的在第一方向上的成像放大倍率大于出光部对光源在第二方向上的成像放大倍率,从而使光源通过该透镜单元即可形成矩形的照明光形,允许透镜单元的出光部在上下方向的尺寸小于等于20mm,从而满足窄长造型的车灯的需求。相对于现有技术的普通球面透镜,采用本发明的透镜单元,可以独立调节入光部和出光部两个光学面的面型,大大简化了配光过程中的调光步骤,在保证相同光效的前提下,有效减小透镜单元的出光部的上下尺寸。

进一步地,III区形成结构设置在入光部上,避免III区形成结构与其他零件干涉,提升了车灯内部零部件排布的灵活性,光学性能稳定。
此外,反射镜的靠近光源一侧的边界设置近光截止结构,能够省略现有的遮光板结构;整体上,本发明的照明模组的结构紧凑,集成度高,模组零件少,结构精简。
本发明的其它特征和优点将在随后的具体实施方式部分予以详细说明。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式进行详细说明。应当理解的是,此处所描述的具体实施方式仅用于说明和解释本发明,并不用于限制本发明。
在本发明的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“设置”、“连接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或者是一体连接;可以是直接连接,也可以是通过中间媒介间接连接,可以是两个元件内部的连通或两个元件的相互作用关系。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以根据具体情况理解上述术语在本发明中的具体含义。
需要理解的是,为了便于描述本发明和简化描述,术语“前、后”是指透镜单元沿出光方向的前后方向,例如,入光部1位于后方,对应地,出光部2位于前方,通常与车辆的前后方向大致相同;术语“左、右”是指透镜单元自身的左右方向,通常与车辆的左右方向大致相同;术语“上、下”是指透镜单元自身的上下方向,通常与车辆的上下方向大致相同;例如,参照图28,初级光学元件7位于上方,对应地,散热器9位于下方,术语为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系,而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本发明的限制;而且,对于本发明的透镜单元的方位术语,应当结合实际安装状态进行理解。
如图1、图4、图5、图10、图12至图14、图44所示,本发明基础实施方式的透镜单元,包括具有第一单方向准直的入光部1和具有第二单方向准直的出光部2,以能够形成非对称光形。
其中,入光部1具有第一单方向准直是指:在第一方向剖面中,入光部1在第一方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,在与第一方向垂直的垂直方向剖面中,入光部1在该方向的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在第一方向剖面内入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,入光部1在第一方向剖面位置范围内对发散光线具有单一方向的准直效果,即入光部1主要是对光线在第一方向上进行偏折;出光部2具有第二单方向准直是指:在第二方向剖面中,出光部2在第二方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,在与第二方向垂直的垂直方向剖面中,出光部2在该方向的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得出光部2对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在第二方向剖面内出光部对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,出光部2在第二方向剖面位置范围内对光线具有单一方向的准直效果,即出光部2主要是对光线在第二方向上进行偏折,能够对出射的光线进行第二方向的扩展,满足光形、光学性能等方面的要求;这种结构设计使得入光部1对光源的在第一方向上的成像放大倍率大于出光部2对光源在第二方向上的成像放大倍率,从而使光源通过该透镜单元即可形成非对称光形,允许透镜单元的出光部在上下方向的尺寸小于等于20mm,从而满足窄长造型的车灯的需求,这里“非对称光形”主要是指光形的长宽尺寸相差较大,如矩形光形。相对于现有技术的普通球面透镜来说,由于其各向同性的成像特点,从而形成图3所示的正方形光形;然而本发明的透镜单元的结构特点使其具有各向异性的成像特点,能够形成图2所示的矩形光形,具有很明显的非对称性;而且,可以独立调节入光部1和出光部2两个光学面的面型,简化了配光过程中的调光步骤,在保证相同光效的前提下,透镜单元的出光部的上下尺寸可以更小。
在一种具体实施例中,参照图1、图4和图5,透镜单元的入光部1和出光部2沿前后方向布置;此时,入光部1的准直方向限定在水平方向或者竖直方向,对应地,将出光部2的准直方向限定在竖直方向或者水平方向;为了便于理解本发明的技术构思并简化描述,以下主要以入光部1的准直方向限定在水平方向以及出光部2的准直方向限定在竖直方向为例对本发明的透镜单元进行说明。
其中,参照图6,在水平方向剖面中,入光部1在水平方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,参照图7,在竖直方向剖面中,入光部1在竖直方向的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在水平方向剖面内入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,入光部1主要是对光线在水平方 向上进行偏折;同理地,参照图7,在竖直方向剖面中,出光部2在竖直方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,在水平方向剖面中,出光部2在水平方向的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得出光部2对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在竖直方向剖面内出光部对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,出光部2主要是对光线在竖直方向上进行偏折,能够对出射的光线进行竖直方向的扩展;这种结构设计使得入光部1对光源的在水平方向上的成像放大倍率大于出光部2对光源在竖直方向上的成像放大倍率,从而使光源通过该透镜单元能够形成非对称光形,例如矩形光形,允许透镜单元的出光部在上下方向的尺寸小于等于20mm,从而满足窄长造型的车灯的需求。
而且,通过上述技术方案形成的非对称光形的非对称性是由于透镜单元两侧的焦距不同导致的,其中,非对称光形主要指矩形光形,也可以说与入光部1与出光部2对光形的放大倍率的比值有关,而放大倍率的比值取决于入光部1与出光部2之间的间距,间距越大,比值越大,非对称性越明显;对比图1和图10所示,比值小时可以减小透镜单元的厚度。
具体地,入光部1可以看成由其水平方向上的截线沿其竖直方向上的截线拉伸形成的曲面,例如,参照图6,入光部1在水平方向上的截线为后凸曲线,其竖直方向上的截线为直线,该后凸曲线沿该直线拉伸即形成入光部1;同理地,出光部2可以看成由其竖直方向上的截线沿其水平方向上的截线拉伸形成的曲面,例如,参照图7,出光部2在竖直方向上的截线为前凸曲线,其水平方向上的截线为直线,该前凸曲线沿该直线拉伸即形成出光部2;上述前凸、后凸都是曲线相对透镜实体的凹、凸而言的。
进一步地,入光部1和出光部2两者中一者为柱面,另一者为类柱面,或者两者均为柱面或类柱面;可以将柱面理解为这样一种光学曲面:以入光部1为例,参照图6,在水平剖面中,入光部1在水平方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,参照图7,在竖直剖面中,入光部1在竖直方向上的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在水平剖面内入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,入光部1在水平剖面位置范围内对发散光线具有单一方向的准直效果,即入光部1主要是对光线在水平方向上进行偏折;其中,入光部1形成的柱面的水平方向的截线优选为圆弧形,当然,入光部1在水平方向上的截线并非必须为圆弧形,例如形成类柱面,所述“类柱面”是指形状上接近柱面的曲面,同样具有与上述柱面近似的技术效果。同理地,也适用于出光部2形成的柱面结构或类柱面结构。参照图7,在竖直剖面中,出光部2在上下方向的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,参照图6,在水平剖面中,出光部2在水平方向上的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得出光部2对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在竖直剖面内出光部2对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,出光部2在竖直剖面位置范围内对光线具有单一方向的准直效果,即出光部2主要是对光线在竖直方向上进行偏折。其中,出光部2形成的柱面在竖直方向上的截线优选为圆弧形,当然,出光部2在竖直方向上的截线并非必须为圆弧形。
如图12至图14所示,入光部1与出光部2还可以为阶梯状菲涅尔柱面,所述的“阶梯状菲涅尔柱面”是指采用菲涅尔式曲线拉伸的方式实现的,对光线具有单方向的准直效果,所述“菲涅尔式曲线”是指与经过菲涅尔透镜的光轴的平面与菲涅尔透镜的具有多个同心圆的表面的交线形状相同或类似的曲线形状。阶梯状菲涅尔柱面结构与上述柱面结构同样能够对光线进行准直,入光部1形成的阶梯状菲涅尔柱面与出光部2形成的阶梯状菲涅尔柱面被布置为相互垂直的形式,也可以形成非对称光形。
以上分别对入光部1与出光部2采用柱面或阶梯状菲涅尔柱面的两种技术方案进行了说明,可以理解的是,对于入光部1与出光部2,可以进行简单的变形,如入光部1为柱面以及出光部2为阶梯状菲涅尔柱面,或者,入光部1为阶梯状菲涅尔柱面以及出光部2为柱面,两者的准直方位相互垂直即可。
可以理解的是,以上对以入光部1的准直方位在水平方向以及出光部2的准直方位在竖直方向为例对本发明的光学透镜进行说明,然而,各个具体实施方式也适用于入光部1的准直方位在竖直方向以及出光部2的准直方位在水平方向的情况,例如,在图1的实施例中,从图1中的光学透镜的布置方位来看,入光部1上的柱面的准直方位在竖直方向,出光部2上的柱面的准直方位在水平方向。当然,为了使车灯能够具有窄长的外观造型,在实际应用中,通常将出光部2的准直方位限定在竖直方向。
此外,参照图44,还可以在透镜单元上设置反射部3,改变入光部1和出光部2沿前后方向布置的方式,使由入光部1入射的光线能够被反射部3反射向出光部2,从而缩小本发明的透镜单元在前后方向的尺寸。
在实际应用中,本实施例的透镜单元的出光部2的出光方向朝向前方,即“第二方向”与竖直方向大致相同,出光部2具有在竖直方向对发散光线单方向准直的光学特点,本实施例的透镜单元的入光部1的入光方向朝向上方或下方,需要说明的是,本实施例的透镜单元的入光部1的入光方向的朝向不局限于竖直方向内,根据配光需要,也可以与竖直方向之间具有一定的夹角,通过对反射部3的调整,使由入光部1入射的光线被反射部3反射向出光部2,而且,本实施例的透镜单元的入光部1除了在入光方向朝向上与图6和图7所示的透镜单元的入光部1有所不同之外,两者具有相同的光学效果,也就是说,本实施例的透镜单元的入光部1是由图6和图7所示的透镜单元的入光部1关于反射部3镜像得到的,发散光线经入光部1在第一方向上准直后经反射部3反射后沿水平方向出射。本实施例的透镜单元的入光部1在第一方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,在与第一方向垂直的垂直方向剖面中,入光部1在该垂直方向上的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在第一方向剖面内入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,入光部1在第一方向 剖面位置范围内对发散光线具有单一方向的准直效果,即入光部1主要是对光线在第一方向上进行偏折;如此,将本发明的透镜单元应用于车灯中时,由于入光部1在第一方向剖面位置范围内对发散光线具有单一方向的准直效果,出光部2在第二方向剖面位置范围内对光线具有单一方向的准直效果,使得入光部1对光源的在第一方向上的成像放大倍率大于出光部2对光源在第二方向上的成像放大倍率,从而使光源通过该透镜单元形成矩形的照明光形,同时使得透镜单元的出光部2在上下方向能够具有较小的尺寸,例如出光部2上下尺寸15mm、左右尺寸60mm的透镜单元。
具体地,透镜单元优选为弯折结构。参照图44,入光部1、反射部3以及出光部2依次相连形成弯折结构。其中,反射部3倾斜设置,使入光部1与出光部2通过反射部3相连呈现弯折状,能够缩小透镜单元在前后方向的尺寸,便于小型化设计,利于在车灯内的布置。需要说明的是,反射部3与入光部1和/或反射部3与出光部2不必须如图44所示直接连接在一起,只要满足由入光部1入射的光线能够被反射部3反射向出光部2,且入光部1、反射部3以及出光部2三者在空间布置上呈现弯折形状即可。
其中,入光部1可以看成由其在第一方向上的截线沿其在与所述第一方向垂直的方向上的截线拉伸形成的曲面,例如,参照图44,入光部1的在第一方向上的截线为外凸曲线,其与第一方向的垂直方向(图中所示为前后方向)上的截线为直线;同理地,出光部2可以看成由其在第二方向上的截线沿其在与所述第二方向垂直的方向上的截线拉伸形成的曲面,即沿左右方向拉伸形成的曲面,例如,参照图44,出光部2的第二方向截线为前凸曲线,其在左右方向上的截线为直线。
进一步地,参照图16、图17、图32、图39和图49,可以将各透镜单元沿左右方向线性排布形成一种光学透镜,各出光部2相连形成出光面4。当然,各透镜单元的排布并不局限于线性排布,例如,在前后方向上,各透镜单元相互错位排布形成一种弯曲结构,位于中间的透镜单元相对位于两侧的透镜单元位置靠前或靠后,形成向前或向后凸起的非线性分布,使其出光面4形成为曲面,优选顺滑曲面。
在具体实施例中,可以在入光部1设置III区形成结构5,III区形成结构5的数量可以根据需要设计,如一个、两个或更多,在一个入光部1或多个入光部1上设有或一体形成有III区形成结构5,III区形成结构5用于形成近光光形中被称为“III区”的重要组成部分,III区位于近光截止线上方,投射至该区域的光线主要对标志牌等位于路面上方的物体起到照明作用,使驾驶员获取标志牌等信息。
参照图40,III区形成结构5为向光学透镜的内部凹陷所形成的凹槽,凹槽的长度方向沿水平方向设置,且凹槽的前后方向截线呈弧形,使得射至该III区形成结构5的光线能够沿车身高度方向上扩散;另外,该形成近光Ⅲ区光形的透镜结构简单且不占用光学透镜以外的空间,使得该形成近光III区光形的光学透镜能够在车灯内各零件位置和数量不断改变的情况下,避免III区形成结构5与其它零件干涉,提升了车灯内部零部件排布的灵活性和光学稳定性。优选地,在具体实施过程中,采用一体形成在入光部1上的实施方法设置III区形成结构5,该方法可以使得整体结构更加牢固,不易损坏,使用寿命更长。
参照图41至图43,作为III区形成结构5的具体实施结构,凹槽内沿其长度方向依次设有或一体形成有多个沿着凹槽的宽度方向(上下方向)延伸的条状凸起部和/或条状凹陷部,其中朝向光学透镜内部为凹,朝向光学透镜外部为凸;条状凸起部和条状凹陷部能够实现将光线向车身宽度方向上扩散,从而使得形成的近光III区光形的宽度更大,光形更均匀且光形照度能够降低至法规要求范围内,能够给驾驶员提供更宽的照明范围,更有利于驾驶员看清路面两侧的标志牌;且一体成型的设计使得III区形成结构5相较于其它制造方式更不易损坏,使用寿命更高。
参照图1、图10和图15,将本发明的光学透镜与光源6结合能够形成一种照明模组,光学透镜可以直接作为初级光学元件,使各光源6与各入光部1对应布置。具体地,将光源6设置在光学透镜的焦点附近或聚焦区域。或者,参照图16和图53,也可以将本发明的光学透镜作为次级光学元件,初级光学元件7将光源6出射的光线汇聚到光学透镜的焦点或聚焦区域,然后再将光线射入光学透镜。
可以理解的是,本发明的光学透镜可以由一个透镜单元构成,从而形成的如图1、图8、图10、图11、图15、图45或图48所示的照明模组。例如,在图8的实施例中,初级光学元件7上设置有近光截止结构,从而能够形成如图9所示的近光光形。
作为一种照明模组的具体实施例,参照图16和图17,各光源6与各初级光学元件7一一对应设置,光源6布置在对应的初级光学元件7的焦点或焦点附近区域,各初级光学元件7可以与各入光部1一一对应设置,使初级光学元件7能够将光源6出射的光线汇聚并投射向对应的入光部1,然后再将光线引入光学透镜中。其中,初级光学元件7可以为反射镜、聚光器或聚光杯等光学元件。
优选地,初级光学元件7可以为反射镜。参照图20和图21,反射镜为抛物面反射镜或类抛物面反射镜,其靠近对应的光源6一侧的边界设置有近光截止结构。
参照图18和图19,近光截止结构包括主近光截止线结构71和辅助近光截止线结构72,主近光截止线结构71用于形成如图23中近光光形中具有拐点截止线的部分近光光形,为了便于描述,可以简称为主近光光形,为近光光形的中心区域光形;辅助近光截止线结构72用于形成如图25中近光光形中具有水平截止线的部分近光光形,为了便于描述,可以简称为辅助近光光形,能够扩展近光光形的展宽;为了便于描述,以两个反射镜为例,一个反射镜4的靠近对应光源6一侧的边界形成主近光截止线结构71, 另一个反射镜的靠近对应光源6一侧的边界形成辅助近光截止线结构72,参照图22,一个光源6发出的光线经具有主近光截止线结构71的反射镜反射后,通过对应的入光部1射入光学透镜,再由出光部2投射到车辆前方,形成近光光形中类似图23所示的具有拐点截止线的主近光光形,同时,参照图24,另一个光源6发出的光线经具有辅助近光截止线结构72的反射镜反射后,通过对应的入光部1射入光学透镜,再由出光部2投射到车辆前方,形成近光光形中类似图25所示的具有水平截止线的辅助近光光形,辅助近光截止线结构72对应的入光部1相比主近光截止线结构71对应的入光部1曲率更大,使得经出光部2出射的光线的左右角度扩散更大,从而扩展光形的展宽,两种光形叠加形成类似图26所示的完整的近光光形;具有主近光截止线结构71的反射镜以及具有辅助近光截止线结构72的反射镜各自的数量,可以根据需要进行设置;当然,也可以仅设置具有主近光截止线结构71的反射镜,结合现有的车灯模组,由现有的车灯模组形成近光光形中的辅助近光光形,扩大近光光形的展宽;或者,也可以仅设置具有辅助近光截止线结构72的反射镜,结合现有的车灯模组,由现有的车灯模组形成近光光形中的主近光光形,得到完整的近光光形。
相应地,入光部1可以分为主近光入光部11和辅助近光入光部12,主近光入光部11与主近光截止线结构71对应设置,辅助近光入光部12与辅助近光截止线结构72对应设置;进一步地,主近光入光部11在与所述第一方向垂直的方向上的截线与辅助近光入光部12在与所述第一方向垂直的方向上的截线之间的夹角为0.2°~1°。
具体地,在图29至图31的实施例中,第一方向为水平方向,主近光入光部11在竖直方向上的截线与辅助近光入光部12在竖直方向上的截线之间具有夹角,夹角范围为0.2°~1°,能够使主近光入光部11的入射光线经出光部2折射后向上偏折,使得主近光的光线更加靠近拐点截止线,增加拐点截止线附近的光线量,提升近光照明效果,使得近光可视性更好,例如,辅助近光入光部12在竖直方向上的截线沿竖直方向延伸,主近光入光部11在竖直方向上的截线相对竖直方向倾斜0.2°~1°。
在具体实施方式中,主近光截止线结构71为具有段差的直线段和/或曲线段连接而成的折线段,即该折线段可以包括两条具有段差的直线段,也可以包括两条具有段差的曲线段,也可以包括具有段差的一条直线段和一条曲线段,辅助近光截止线结构72为直线段或曲线段,即没有段差的直线段或曲线段。
可以理解的是,本发明的照明模组也可以应用于远光照明模组,反射镜上不需设置截止结构,光学透镜的焦点可以设置在反射镜的反射面上,光源6发出的光线经由反射镜反射向光学透镜的入光部1,并从出光部2出射,形成狭长的远光光形;此外,本发明的照明模组也可以同时具有远光与近光功能,即形成远近光一体照明模组,将本发明的光学透镜的部分入光部1对应的光源6和反射镜的相对位置如图21所示设置,反射镜下边界设置近光截止结构,本发明的光学透镜的另一部分入光部1对应的反射镜上不需要设置截止结构,通过控制相应的光源6的启闭,实现远光与近光功能。
在一种具体实施例中,参照图33至图36,可以使每个入光部1分别与多个反射镜对应设置,形成一种远光照明模组,这种结构设计能够使车灯实现ADB自适应远光功能,例如,将本发明的远光照明模块应用于具体车辆中,各反射镜沿着左右方向相连排布,各入光部1也同样沿着左右方向相连排布;通过对各光源6的开启与关闭进行控制,在夜间行车中,当全部光源6处于开启状态时,能够形成如图37所示的远光光形,当检测到对向车道存在道路的其他用户时,如图38所示,可以控制对应的各光源6的关闭,使在检测到的道路其他用户对应位置的远光光形区域形成暗区,从而避免对道路的其他用户造成炫目,防止安全事故的发生。每个入光部1对应多个反射镜的设置方式,每个反射镜对应一个区域的光形,结合对各光源6的控制,使各反射镜对应的区域能够形成暗区,实现ADB自适应远光功能;而且,由于入光部1主要是对光线在水平方向上进行偏折,出光部2主要是对光线在竖直方向上进行偏折,使得入光部1对光源6的在水平方向上的成像放大倍率大于出光部2对光源6在竖直方向上的成像放大倍率,从而使光源6通过该光学透镜即可形成矩形的照明光形,同时,相对于上述现有技术的普通球面透镜,本实用新型在保证相同光效的前提下,减小了光学透镜的上下尺寸,即能够允许出光部2上下尺寸设置到小于等于20mm的范围,从而得到窄长的远光照明模组,在上下尺寸受限的情况下,也能获得较高的光学效率;例如,将出光部2上下尺寸设计为15mm,光学效率能够达到44~50%(包含外配损失),这种光学效率相当于现有技术的透镜开口做到30mm以上(尤其是40mm以上)的光学效率。
在一种具体实施例中,参照图45至图47、图49至图52,本实施例的照明模组用于近光照明,包括初级光学元件7和光学透镜,光学透镜包括多个沿左右方向相连接的透镜单元,透镜单元包括具有第一单方向准直的入光部1、反射部3以及具有第二单方向准直的出光部2,各出光部2相连形成出光面4,各反射部3相连形成反射面30,光源6发出的光线被对应的初级光学元件7反射后,以近似平行的光束射向光学透镜的入光部1,反射面30倾斜布置,使光学透镜呈弯折形状,能够减小照明模组在前后方向的尺寸;参照图47,可以在初级光学元件7的前边界(初级光学元件7的靠近光源6一侧的边界)设置近光截止结构,或者,在初级光学元件7与光学透镜的入光部1之间设置具有近光截止结构的遮光板或其它遮光元件,从而实现近光照明功能。还可以在其中一个或多个入光部1上设置III区形成结构5,以能够形成近光III区光形;或者,可以用于雾灯或角灯等车辆照明装置。其中,初级光学元件7优选为抛物面反射镜或类抛物面反射镜。
当然,也可以将上述实施例的光学透镜用于远光照明,图48提供了一种用于远光照明的实施例,与上述用于近光照明的光学模组不同之处主要在于:可以不设置截止结构以及III区形成结构5。或者,也可以将本发明的光学透镜用于远近光一体式照明模组,本发明的光学透镜的部分入光部1对应的初级光学元件7和光源6的相对位置如图45所示设置,初级光学元件7的前边界设 置近光截止结构,本发明的光学透镜的另一部分入光部1对应的初级光学元件7上不设置截止结构,其与光源6的相对位置如图48所示设置,通过控制相应的光源6的启闭,实现远光与近光功能。
可以理解的是,光学透镜呈弯折形状,在安装于具体照明模组中,可以为图44至图49所示的向上弯折的布置方式,也可以为图53所示的向下弯折的布置方式,具体根据实际安装情况进行选择。
需要说明的是,图49和图50提供了光学透镜的一种具体结构形式,各反射部3相连形成反射面30,各入光部1沿着左右方向依次相连;当然,光学透镜也可以为其它具体结构形式,例如,各透镜单元之间形成间隙,即各入光部1沿着左右方向间隔布置,且各反射部3之间也形成楔形间隙,楔形间隙由入光部1向出光面4方向逐渐减小,使各入光部1之间不会窜光,保证各入光部1对应的照明区域的独立性以及各照明区域的光效。
本发明对光学透镜进行特别设计,使其入光部1具有在第一方向对光线单方向准直的光学特点,并使其出光部2具有在第二方向对光线单方向准直的光学特点;需要说明的是,所述“第一单方向准直”可以作如下理解:在第一方向剖面中,入光部1在第一方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,在与第一方向垂直的垂直方向剖面中,入光部1在该垂直方向上的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在第一方向剖面内入光部1对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,入光部1在第一方向剖面位置范围内对发散光线具有单一方向的准直效果,即入光部1主要是对光线在第一方向上进行偏折;同理地,所述“第二单方向准直”可以作如下理解:在第二方向剖面中,出光部2在第二方向上的截线为凸曲线,起会聚效应,对光线的偏折程度较大,能够对发散光线具有一定的准直作用,在与第二方向垂直的垂直方向剖面中,出光部2在该垂直方向上的截线为直线或几乎为直线,使得出光部2对发散光线的偏折能力远不如在第二方向剖面内出光部2对发散光线的偏折能力,不具有准直作用,出光部2在第二方向剖面位置范围内对光线具有单一方向的准直效果,即出光部2主要是对光线在第二方向上进行偏折;如此,将本发明的光学透镜应用于车灯中时(在实际应用中,出光部2的上下方向与车灯的上下方向大致相同),由于入光部1在第一方向剖面位置范围内对发散光线具有单一方向的准直效果,出光部2在第二方向剖面位置范围内对光线具有单一方向的准直效果,使得入光部1对光源的在第一方向上的成像放大倍率大于出光部2对光源在第二方向上的成像放大倍率,从而使光源6通过该光学透镜形成矩形的照明光形,同时使得光学透镜的出光部2在上下方向能够具有较小的尺寸,例如出光面2上下尺寸15mm、左右尺寸60mm的光学透镜,在将本发明的光学透镜应用于具体车辆上时,可以使车辆的车灯在上下方向的外观开口尺寸较小,如前照灯,符合市场对车灯呈现窄长造型的趋势。
其中,初级光学元件7也可以为聚光器等其它初级光学元件;光源6可以为半导体光源,例如LED光源和半导体激光光源,LED光源作为新能源,已逐渐取代传统光源,LED光源不仅节能环保,而且使用寿命长,亮度高,性能稳定,发光纯度高,因此,以LED光源为设计基础的车辆照明装置具有广阔的发展前景;而半导体激光光源,因为其方向性强,不易发散,更容易使得光线避开可能对其产生干涉的零部件。
一般地,将光源6的发光中心设置在对应的初级光学元件7的焦点区域,焦点区域为包括焦点在内的焦点附近的区域。具体地,光源6的发光中心可以设置在初级光学元件7的焦点上,根据配光的需要,还可以光源6的发光中心偏离上述焦点一定距离,如光源6的发光中心与初级光学元件7的焦点之间距离≤2mm。其中,初级光学元件7优选为反射镜,反射镜可以为抛物面反射镜或者类抛物面反射镜。
此外,还可以将本发明的照明模组安装在车灯中,使得车灯外观开口上下尺寸设计为小于等于20mm,例如,将出光面2上下尺寸设计为15mm,光学效率能够达到44~50%(包含外配损失),这种光学效率相当于现有技术的透镜开口做到30mm以上(尤其是40mm以上)的光学效率;进一步地,将上述车灯应用于具体车辆中,满足市场对车灯窄长造型的车辆的需求,同时,又不会影响光形、光学性能和光学效率等方面。而且,本发明光学透镜的弯折结构设计,缩小了照明模组在前后方向的尺寸,便于车灯的小型化,方便车灯在车辆中的布置设计。
将本发明的照明模组安装在车灯中,一般地,参照图27和图28,光源6安装于线路板8上。具体地,光源6安装在线路板8的安装面上,为了使更多的光线进入光学透镜,光源6相对水平方向,如图28方向旋转一定角度,角度优选大于等于5°,图28所示的实施例为20°,也就是说,线路板7上的用于安装光源1的安装面与水平方向之间的夹角≥5°。此外,线路板7还与散热器8连接,以对线路板7产生的热量进行散热。
本发明的车灯由于采用上述的照明模组,对于相应的车灯设计,可以使车灯具有平且宽的外观造型,例如,使车辆的前照灯呈现窄长的造型。
本发明的车辆由于采用上述的车灯,因此至少具有上述车灯实施例的技术方案所带来的所有有益效果,在此不再赘述。
以上结合附图详细描述了本发明的优选实施方式,但是,本发明并不限于此。在本发明的技术构思范围内,可以对本发明的技术方案进行多种简单变型,包括各个具体技术特征以任何合适的方式进行组合。为了避免不必要的重复,本发明对各种可能的组合方式不再另行说明。但这些简单变型和组合同样应当视为本发明所公开的内容,均属于本发明的保护范围。
