Description
La présente invention concerne de manière générale les projecteurs notamment pour véhicules automobiles, du type "bloc optique", comprenant un réflecteur orientable assemblé de manière pivotante sur une partie de support montée sur une glace de fermeture, et des moyens d'étanchéité disposés entre le réflecteur et ladite partie de support.The present invention generally relates to headlamps in particular for motor vehicles, of the "optical unit" type, comprising an orientable reflector pivotally assembled on a support part mounted on a closing glass, and sealing means arranged between the reflector and said support part.
On connaît du brevet européen EP 0 224 739, un projecteur de ce type selon le préambule de la revendication 1, comportant un réflecteur relié à un support annulaire par deux paliers pivotants et pouvant pivoter grâce à un dispositif de réglage autour d'un axe de pivotement horizontal dans la position de montage du projecteur. Ledit support annulaire est fermé vers la sortie de la lumière par une glace de fermeture et présente une partie tournée vers le réflecteur, faisant face à une partie du réflecteur en la recouvrant, un joint annulaire d'étanchéité étant disposé entre lesdites parties. Les surfaces en recouvrement présentent une forme généralement cylindrique de révolution ou non à partir de leur bord respectif de manière à permettre, lors du montage du projecteur ou bien lors de l'orientation par pivotement du réflecteur, un mouvement de roulement du joint annulaire d'étanchéité entre lesdites surfaces. Il convient de préciser que l'intervalle entre les deux surfaces en recouvrement a une largeur légèrement inférieure au diamètre de la section du joint annulaire d'étanchéité de manière à ce que ledit joint légèrement écrasé reste au contact des deux surfaces lors de son mouvement de roulement.European patent EP 0 224 739 discloses a projector of this type according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising a reflector connected to an annular support by two pivoting bearings and able to pivot by means of an adjustment device around an axis of horizontal pivoting in the mounting position of the projector. Said annular support is closed towards the exit of the light by a closing glass and has a part turned towards the reflector, facing a part of the reflector by covering it, an annular seal being disposed between said parts. The overlapping surfaces have a generally cylindrical shape of revolution or not from their respective edge so as to allow, when mounting the projector or else during the orientation by pivoting of the reflector, a rolling movement of the annular seal. sealing between said surfaces. It should be noted that the gap between the two overlapping surfaces has a width slightly less than the diameter of the section of the annular seal so that said slightly crushed seal remains in contact with the two surfaces during its movement. rolling.
L'inconvénient majeur de ce projecteur type "bloc optique" connu est que le joint annulaire d'étanchéité constitué par un matériau souple, s'use facilement en roulant entre lesdites parties en regard, lors des orientations successives du réflecteur ou des différents montages/démontages du projecteur, et peut perdre assez rapidement ses qualités d'étanchéité.The major drawback of this known “optical block” type headlight is that the annular seal made of a flexible material easily wears off when rolling between said facing parts, during the successive orientations of the reflector or of the various assemblies / disassembly of the projector, and can lose its sealing qualities fairly quickly.
Un autre inconvénient réside en ce que le roulement du joint amène une indétermination de sa position aussi bien lors du montage qu'en fonctionnement, et induit dans celui-ci des torsions parasites. Il en résulte là encore des problèmes d'étanchéité.Another drawback lies in that the rolling of the seal leads to an indeterminacy of its position both during assembly and in operation, and induces parasitic twists in the latter. This again results in sealing problems.
On connaît également par FR-A-1 235 402 un projecteur dans lequel un joint à plusieurs lèvres établit une étanchéité entre deux surfaces parallèles et fixes l'une par rapport à l'autre.FR-A-1 235 402 also discloses a projector in which a joint with several lips establishes a seal between two parallel and fixed surfaces with respect to one another.
La présente invention vise à tirer parti d'une manière différente d'un tel joint à plusieurs lèvres pour résoudre le problème précité dû à la mobilité des surfaces.The present invention aims to take advantage in a different way of such a seal with several lips to solve the aforementioned problem due to the mobility of surfaces.
Ainsi la présente invention propose un projecteur notamment pour véhicule automobile tel que défini dans la revendication 1.Thus the present invention provides a headlamp in particular for a motor vehicle as defined in claim 1.
Ainsi, selon l'invention, l'intervalle entre les deux surfaces en regard est tel que lors du montage du projecteur des lèvres dudit joint sont légèrement comprimées. De ce fait, lorsqu'on oriente le réflecteur, une des lèvres s'étend radialement alors que l'autre se comprime de manière à permettre le décalage angulaire d'une desdites faces par rapport à l'autre et le glissement de l'autre face, et maintenir l'étanchéité entre ledit réflecteur et la partie de support.Thus, according to the invention, the interval between the two facing surfaces is such that when the projector is mounted, the lips of said seal are slightly compressed. Therefore, when orienting the reflector, one of the lips extends radially while the other is compressed so as to allow the angular offset of one of said faces relative to the other and the sliding of the other face, and maintain the seal between said reflector and the support part.
Des aspects préférés de ce projecteur sont définis dans les sous-revendications.Preferred aspects of this projector are defined in the subclaims.

En référence à la figure 1, on a représenté un projecteur 100 du type "bloc optique" notamment pour véhicule automobile, comportant un réflecteur 110 d'axe optique X-X' portant une lampe 120 fixée dans une douille 121 placée au fond dudit réflecteur. Ce réflecteur 110 est assemblé avec une partie de support 130, elle-même raccordée à une glace de fermeture 160 au moyen d'une pièce intermédiaire 150.Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a
Plus particulièrement ledit réflecteur comporte deux doigts latéraux de maintien 111 qui sont aptes à coulisser dans des glissières latérales 131 de ladite partie de support 130. Les deux glissières 131 présentent avantageusement un profil en arc de cercle, les centres de courbure des arcs de cercle définissant un axe horizontal Y-Y', croisant l'axe optique X-X' perpendiculairement à celui-ci. Ainsi, sous l'action d'un dispositif de réglage à vis ou autre, le réflecteur, guidé par les glissières, peut basculer en pivotant autour de l'axe Y-Y' pour effectuer un réglage de faisceau en site. Bien entendu, on peut prévoir également un réglage en azimut.More particularly, said reflector comprises two
D'autre part le projecteur 100 comporte un joint élastique d'étanchéité périphérique 140 ici de forme essentiellement cylindrique et disposé entre une face solidaire 112 du réflecteur 110 et une face solidaire 132 de la partie de support 130 en regard l'une de l'autre, et dont les normales N1,N2 sont essentiellement perpendiculaires à l'axe optique X-X'. Ce joint cylindrique 140 est fixe par rapport à l'une des faces, ici la face solidaire 112 du réflecteur 110, et comporte, comme le montre mieux la figure 3, sur une surface extérieure 142 en contact avec la deuxième face opposée, ici la face 132 de la partie de support 130, trois lèvres élastiques 142a, 142b, 142c, autorisant un décalage angulaire d'une des faces par rapport à l'autre et un glissement suivant une direction sensiblement parallèle à l'axe optique X-X' de la deuxième face par rapport à celle qui pivote, provoqué par les changements d'orientation du réflecteur 110.On the other hand the
De façon préférée, pour optimiser les sollicitations appliquées au joint lors des réglages d'orientation, l'axe de pivotement Y-Y' passe par le plan du joint, comme illustré.Preferably, to optimize the stresses applied to the joint during orientation adjustments, the pivot axis Y-Y 'passes through the plane of the joint, as illustrated.
Comme le montrent les figures 2 et 3, la surface intérieure 141 dudit joint 140 opposée à ladite surface extérieure 142 portant lesdites lèvres 142a, 142b, 142c, est une surface sensiblement cylindrique. Les lèvres élastiques sont réparties régulièrement sur ladite surface radiale 142 dudit joint. Plus particulièrement, on distingue sur la figure 3 deux lèvres élastiques 142a,142c adjacentes aux bords latéraux 140a, 140b, dudit joint et une lèvre centrale 142b.As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the
Par ailleurs, suivant le mode de réalisation présenté sur la figure 1, le joint 140 est positionné de telle sorte que sa surface intérieure sensiblement plane soit au contact dudit réflecteur 110, qu'un de ses bords latéraux 140b soit calé contre une butée 113 prévue sur la face solidaire 112 du réflecteur 110, la surface extérieure 142 portant lesdites lèvres 142a, 142b, 142c étant en contact de la face solidaire 132 de la partie de support 130.Furthermore, according to the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the
Comme le montrent mieux les figures 4, 5 et 6, le pivotement du réflecteur 110 autour de l'axe Y-Y' provoque un décalage angulaire de l'axe optique X-X' dudit réflecteur 110 par rapport à un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire à la glace de fermeture 160.As shown better in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, the pivoting of the
Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 5, le réflecteur 110 est orienté de telle manière que son axe optique X-X' présente un décalage angulaire Φ1 égal environ à -5 degrés par rapport à l'axe Δ . Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure, la partie supérieure du réflecteur 110 et du joint 140 ont glissé légèrement vers l'avant par rapport à la partie adjacente du support 130, tandis que dans la région inférieure, un glissement vers l'arrière s'est produit par rapport à sa position montrée à la figure 4, dans laquelle le réflecteur est orienté de telle sorte que son axe optique X-X' soit confondu avec l'axe Δ . De plus, la lèvre 142c dudit joint adjacente au bord 140b en contact avec la butée 113 s'est comprimée radialement en haut et détendue radialement en bas alors que la lèvre 142a dudit joint adjacente au bord extérieur 140a tournée vers la glace de fermeture 160 s'est détendue, en haut et comprimée en bas et de cette manière le joint maintient l'étanchéité entre les deux pièces.As can be seen in FIG. 5, the
Sur la figure 6, le réflecteur 110 est orienté de telle manière que son axe optique X-X' présente un décalage angulaire Φ2 égal à environ + 5 degrés par rapport à l'axe Δ. Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure, des gliissements inverses de ceux de la figure 5, se sont produits. De même, les lèvres 142a et 142c se comportent de la façon inverse de celle illustrée sur la figure 5, et là encore le joint 140 maintient l'étanchéité entre les deux pièces.In FIG. 6, the
