(61) As shown in
(62) Wherein, the secondary optical element 3 is generally a lens, such as a planoconvex lens and a biconvex lens, the low-beam primary optical element 1 and the high-beam primary optical element 2 are combined, thus, a low-beam shape and a high-beam shape can be formed respectively, and a high-beam and low-beam integrated function is fulfilled; light is propagated in the low-beam primary optical element 1 and the high-beam primary optical element 2, and the light emitted from the light sources is collected, so that loss of light energy can be reduced to a certain degree, and the light energy utilization rate is improved; moreover, other parts such as a reflector, a light shielding plate or a solenoid valve are not required to be arranged, so that reduction of the size of the vehicle lamp illumination module is facilitated, miniaturization design of the vehicle lamp illumination module is facilitated, and requirements of more vehicle lamp modellings are met; and the high-beam primary optical element 2 becomes a multi-channel light condensing element through the mode of combination of the multiple collimation units 21, an independent illumination region can be formed correspondingly, a high-beam dazzling preventing function is fulfilled through on and off of the light sources, and the light shape can be more accurately controlled to better meet the design requirement.
(63) A low-beam function can be fulfilled through various specific low-beam primary optical elements 1 in the present disclosure; specifically, as shown in
(64) Generally, the multiple light sources are arranged in a dispersed manner, due to the multiple dispersed light sources as heat sources, the thermal property can be greatly improved, and the heat dissipation property of the module is improved.
(65) As another embodiment, referring to
(66) As another embodiment, as shown in
(67) The light condensing structures 14 can generally be of light condensing cup structures with cavities, curved surface protrusions facing the light sources are arranged in the cavities, the emitting path of light can be controlled by adjusting the curvature of the side walls of the cavities and the curvature of the curved surface protrusions in the cavities, energy distribution of the output light shape is effectively adjusted, lots of adjustable structures exist, adjustment is facilitated, and light shape control is more accurate; of course, light incident portions of the light condensing structures 14 can be of light condensing cup structures of planes, convex curved surfaces or concave curved surfaces; and the light is collected better.
(68) In addition, the low-beam light emitting surface 11 can be a concave curved surface which is adaptive to the focal plane of the secondary optical element 3, the focal plane refers to a plane which is orthogonal to the optical axis of the secondary optical element 3, but due to difference of curvature of field, the focal plane of the secondary optical element 3 is actually a curved surface which is concave rearwards, thus, the closer a portion of the low-beam light emitting surface 11 is to the focal plane, the clearer light pixels formed after the light emitted from the portion passes through the secondary optical element 3 are, in order to form a clear light shape, the low-beam light emitting surface 11 needs to be designed into a concave curved surface which is the same or roughly the same as the focal plane of the secondary optical element 3. Similarly, the above principle is also suitable for the high-beam light emitting surface 22 of the high-beam primary optical element 2, namely, the high-beam light emitting surface 22 can also be a concave curved surface which is adaptive to the focal plane of the secondary optical element 3.
(69) Wherein, the upper boundary of the front end of the high-beam primary optical element 2 is in contact with the front end of the reflection portion 19, and thus, close connection and smooth excess between the low-beam shape and the high-beam shape can be realized well; and a certain gap can also be arranged between the low-beam shape and the high-beam shape, but the distance between the upper boundary of the front end of the high-beam primary optical element 2 and the front end of the reflection portion 19 is smaller than or equal to 2 mm so as to avoid uneven transition between the low-beam shape and the high-beam shape. The light sources which correspond to the low-beam primary optical element 1 and the high-beam primary optical element 2 respectively can be dispersed and are arranged into one row, thus, the heat sources can be more dispersed, heat dissipation of the light sources is facilitated, the heat dissipation property of the vehicle lamp illumination module is improved, and the service life of the vehicle lamp illumination module is prolonged. The illumination intensity of the middle of the low-beam shape is generally required to be higher than the illumination intensity of a side of the low-beam shape, and by multiple chips in the middle, the low-beam shape can meet the requirement better.
(70) Further, the size of the light condensing structures 14 located in the middle region is greater than the size of the other light condensing structures 14 located on the two side regions, thus, the light condensing structures 14 in the middle region correspond to the multi-chip light sources, and the requirement of high illumination intensity in the middle region is met well.
(71) Further, the lower edge of the low-beam light emitting surface 11 of the low-beam primary optical element 1 is connected with the upper edge of the high-beam light emitting surface 22 of the high-beam primary optical element 2, and a wedge-shaped gap which is gradually increased from front to rear is formed between the low-beam primary optical element 1 and the high-beam primary optical element 2; and thus, close connection and smooth and uniform transition between the low-beam shape and the high-beam shape can be realized.
(72) A high-beam cut-off portion 23 which is used for forming a high-beam shape cut-off line is arranged on the high-beam light emitting surface 22 formed by connecting light emitting end surfaces of the collimation units 21 or integrally formed by the light emitting end surfaces of the collimation units 21 of the high-beam primary optical element 2, as shown in
(73) In a specific embodiment, a collimation unit 21 includes a light incident end, a light passing portion and a light emitting end; further, referring to
(74) The low-beam primary optical element 1 and the high-beam primary optical element 2 can be mounted on a radiator 6 through various specific mounting structures, and generally, because most of light sources are in the mode of light emitting chips such as LED chips, a circuit board is generally arranged between the low-beam primary optical element 1 and the radiator 6 or between the high-beam primary optical element 2 and the radiator 6; and a limiting structure for mounting of the high-beam primary optical element 2 on the radiator 6 is mainly described below, and it will be understood that the low-beam primary optical element 1 can be mounted on the radiator 6 by using the limiting structure as well by simple conversion.
(75) Referring to
(76) Correspondingly, as a specific embodiment, as shown in
(77) As another specific embodiment, as shown in
(78) For the foregoing structure design, the precision of four planes of the pressing plate front positioning surface 411, the pressing plate rear positioning surface 412, the supporting frame front positioning surface 423 and the supporting frame rear positioning surface 424 is only required, the requirement on the precision of the rest portions is not high, by the design, manufacturing processes for a pressing plate 41 and a supporting frame 42 can be simplified, meanwhile, the manufacturing cost can also be reduced, meanwhile, even if the requirement on the precision of the four positioning planes is higher, the higher requirement can be met. The precision of the various positioning planes is improved, correspondingly, the positioning precision of the high-beam primary optical element 2 is also improved, light passing through the high-beam primary optical element 2 can accurately achieve a desired effect, scrappage of parts is reduced, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
(79) Similarly, first buckles 44 are further separately arranged at two ends of the pressing plate 41, the first buckles 44 can be snap-fitted to the bayonets 45 on the supporting frame 42 so as to limit the up-down direction position of the high-beam primary optical element 2; and moreover, a limiting piece 421 can further be arranged into a circular truncated cone structure or a truncated pyramid structure of which the sectional area of the upper portion is smaller than the sectional area of the lower portion, and the cross-sectional shape of the limiting piece 421 is adaptive to the cross-sectional shape of the gap between the corresponding adjacent collimation units 21. By the small-top and large-bottom structure of the limiting piece 421, a gap between the two limiting pieces 421 can be large in top and small in bottom, thus, mounting of the connecting ribs 211 is facilitated, displacement is not easily caused in a daily using process, and the stability of the optical performance of the high-beam primary optical element 2 is guaranteed. The high-beam primary optical element 2 is used as a condenser, the limiting pieces 421 are inserted into the gaps between the corresponding adjacent collimation units 21 to limit the left-right direction of the high-beam primary optical element 2, meanwhile, the connecting ribs 211 are arranged between the two rows of limiting pieces 421 to limit the front-rear direction of the high-beam primary optical element 2, accurate positioning is achieved, relative positions of light incident ends of the collimation units 21 of the high-beam primary optical element 2 and the light sources and the position relation of the collimation units 21 are guaranteed effectively, thus, excessive light efficiency loss caused by inaccurate positioning and light pattern distortion caused by deformation of the high-beam primary optical element 2 are not easily caused, moreover, traditional front-rear pressing-in mounting of the condenser is changed into up-down pressing-in mounting, the mounting travel is reduced effectively, up-down pressing-in mounting more conforms to structural characteristics of the condenser, and the condenser is convenient to install.
(80) As another specific embodiment, as shown in
(81) the high-beam light emitting surface 22 of the high-beam primary optical element 2 can be in the design of a curved surface which is gradually bent towards the rear side from top to bottom, within a certain curvature range, the greater the curvature is, the more concentrated the light is, thus, more light is refracted to the secondary optical element 3, and the light energy utilization rate is high.
(82) Moreover, in addition to the connection manner of snap-fitting the first buckles 44 to the bayonets 45, other connection manners of adopting positioning holes and positioning pins and the like may be adopted to realize connection and fixation between the pressing plate 41 and the supporting frame 42, for example, a connecting structure includes a positioning hole formed in one of the pressing plate 41 and the supporting frame 42 and a positioning pin formed on the other one of the pressing plate 41 and the supporting frame 42, and further includes through holes which are formed in the pressing plate 41 and the supporting frame 42 and used for threaded connection, and the pressing plate 41 is fixed on the supporting frame 42 by enabling bolts to pass through the through holes.
(83) It should be noted that the primary optical elements play a great role in a vehicle lamp illumination effect, and the positioning and mounting reliability of the primary optical elements greatly affects the precision of the light shape of a vehicle lamp and the vehicle lamp illumination effect; meanwhile, any component arranged on the primary optical elements may influence primary distribution of light, and excessive mounting structures and positioning structures may generate more or less influence on the light distribution effect of the primary optical elements; and therefore, through arrangement of the limiting structure, the number of mounting structures and positioning structures on the low-beam primary optical element 1 and the high-beam primary optical element 2 can be reduced.
(84) In a specific embodiment, as shown in
(85) Two rows of light spots can be formed by arrangement of the low-beam primary optical element 1 and the high-beam primary optical element 2, one row of light spots formed by the low-beam primary optical element 1 is used for low-beam follow-up steering, and one row of light spots formed by the high-beam primary optical element 2 is used as anti-dazzling high beam. The light incident end of each collimation unit 21 in the low-beam primary optical element 1 and the high-beam primary optical element 2 corresponds to one light source, and the light incident ends of the adjacent collimation units 21 are connected by a connecting rib 211; the light emitted by the light sources enters the collimation units 21 via the light incident ends of the collimation units 21 and is emitted from the light emitting surface, and the light emitting ends of the collimation units 21 are converged together, so that the low-beam primary optical element 1 and the high-beam primary optical element 2 have a converging effect on the light emitted by the light sources. In addition, the overall shape of a single collimation unit 21 is similar to the shape of a rectangular columnar structure, the light emitting ends of the collimation units 21 are connected with one another to form a light emitting surface, the light incident ends of the collimation units 21 need to be separated from one another to prevent light channeling, independence of the light shapes of the collimation units 21 is guaranteed, therefore, an included angle is designed between the adjacent collimation units 21, if a single included angle is too large, under the consideration of the accumulation effect, the angle of the collimation unit 21 at the extreme edge will be quite large, the light emitting efficiency is affected, and therefore, the included angle between the adjacent collimation units 21 is preferably 0-5 degrees.
