Definitions
- the invention relates to a headlight for vehicles and in particular the attachment of the lens to the housing, according to the preamble of claim 1 and the EP 1 637 801 ,
- the EP 1 637 801 deals with the problem of the invention, which arises in particular when large-area lenses, as they are currently required in vehicle construction, must be mounted on the housing of the headlight.
- the glass-fiber lenses had bent edges that were substantially cylindrical, though not circular, to the headlight axis and thus to the main beam direction, and it was possible to insert these edges into groove-shaped receptacles in the face of the housing and either glued or fixed by screws, clamps or the like.
- Corresponding prior art is in the DE 28 46 990 and the EP 589,189 to find.
- the lens is provided in an injection molding or a foaming with a mounting edge made of plastic, which either has a cylinder jacket-like end portion, which preferably substantially parallel to Headlight axis extends and allows the mounting in the direction of the headlight axis in a circumferential end groove of a housing part, or has an end portion having an end-side groove into which a seal against a housing part is inserted.
- this connection may be a non-releasable adhesive bond, but it may also be a releasable connection held together by means of screws, clips or other fasteners.
- the Fig. 1 shows a lens 1a, which is fixedly connected by means of injection molding or foaming along its periphery with a mounting edge 1b made of plastic, such as polyurethane, to a cover 1.
- the mounting edge 1b has an end portion 7, which has a substantially cylindrical shape, although not circular cylindrical shape and in each axial section, such as him too
- Fig. 1 shows, parallel to the light direction L, usually coincident with the headlight axis, runs. It is the course in the direction of L is not mandatory but depends on the direction during demolding during manufacture and on the direction of assembly of the headlamp, for the skilled person this is easy to adapt to the shape of the entire headlamp.
- This end portion 7 can now, as in the previous headlamps bent edge thereof, inserted into a circumferential groove 8 on the front side of a housing part 2 and there permanently, for example by an adhesive 3, for example silicone, hot melt adhesive or an adhesive based on polyurethane and be tightly connected to the housing part 2.
- an adhesive 3 for example silicone, hot melt adhesive or an adhesive based on polyurethane
- the Fig. 2 shows a variant with detachable connection between the cover plate 1 and the housing portion 2, wherein the mounting edge 1b on its end face directed to the housing has a circumferential groove 8, in which a seal 5 is inserted or glued.
- This seal 5 presses on an end face 9 of the housing section 2 and is held pressed against this end face by screws 6, which are provided at the appropriate distance from one another along the circumference of the mounting edge 1b.
- screws 6 and brackets udgl as they are known from the prior art, as mentioned above, can be used. It is also essential here that a circumferential groove is provided in an end face, and that the seal is made in the groove.
- the solution according to the invention makes the assembly of the cover 1, consisting of the glass 1 a and their mounting edge 1b as simple, safe and reliable, as was the case originally with the cup-shaped glass and avoids all the disadvantages of the prior art, although large and flat or curved flat glass sheets 1a are used.
- the size of the glass pane 1a can be kept smaller than in the case of the otherwise comparable dimensions by the design of the mounting edge 1b that comprises the pane mentioned above document with the disc-shaped adhesive edge, in which the glass had to reach to the edge, and that achieved by the molding or encapsulation or foaming high bonding strength between glass pane 1a and mounting edge 1b the extension of the entire structure in the direction of the light rays L and at a right angle to this can be kept much lower than in the prior art.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Scheinwerfer für Fahrzeuge und insbesondere die Befestigung der Lichtscheibe am Gehäuse, entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 und der
Die
Diese Lösung weist verschiedene Nachteile auf: Vor allem die umlaufende Verklebung des Blendrahmens entlang des Randes der Lichtscheibe ist problematisch, da sie einerseits geometrisch äußerst genau erfolgen muss, andererseits unter all den rauen Einsatzbedingungen dicht bleiben muss. Wegen der sehr komplexen Umrissform der heute verwendeten Lichtscheiben, es wird dazu auf
Es besteht daher der Bedarf an einer Verbindung zwischen Lichtscheibe und Gehäuse, die die erwähnten Nachteile nicht aufweist, und, wenn es gewünscht wird, auch eine Ausführung mit lösbarer Verbindung zulässt und dabei gegenüber der derzeitigen Lösung keine gravierenden Mehrkosten verursacht.There is therefore a need for a connection between lens and housing, which does not have the mentioned disadvantages, and, if desired, also allows a version with detachable connection, thereby causing no major additional costs compared to the current solution.
Erfindungsgemäß werden diese Ziele durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale erreicht, mit anderen Worten, es wird die Lichtscheibe in einem Spritzgussverfahren oder einem Schäumverfahren mit einem Montagerand aus Kunststoff versehen, der entweder einen zylindermantelartigen Endabschnitt aufweist, der bevorzugt im Wesentlichen parallel zur Scheinwerferachse verläuft und so die Montage in Richtung der Scheinwerferachse in eine umlaufende Stirnnut eines Gehäuseteils erlaubt, oder einen Endabschnitt aufweist, der eine stirnseitige Nut aufweist, in die eine Dichtung gegenüber einem Gehäuseteil eingelegt ist. So wie in den beiden oben angeführten älteren Druckschriften kann diese Verbindung eine nicht-lösbare Klebeverbindung sein, es kann sich aber auch um eine lösbare Verbindung, die mit Hilfe von Schrauben, Klammern oder sonstigen Verbindungselementen zusammen gehalten wird, handeln.According to the invention, these objects are achieved by the features stated in the characterizing part of claim 1, in other words, the lens is provided in an injection molding or a foaming with a mounting edge made of plastic, which either has a cylinder jacket-like end portion, which preferably substantially parallel to Headlight axis extends and allows the mounting in the direction of the headlight axis in a circumferential end groove of a housing part, or has an end portion having an end-side groove into which a seal against a housing part is inserted. As in the two earlier references cited above, this connection may be a non-releasable adhesive bond, but it may also be a releasable connection held together by means of screws, clips or other fasteners.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung macht die Montage der Abdeckscheibe 1, bestehend aus der Glasscheibe 1 a und deren Montagerand 1b so einfach, sicher und zuverlässig, wie es ursprünglich bei den topfförmigen Glasscheiben der Fall war und vermeidet alle Nachteile des späteren Standes der Technik, obwohl großflächige und ebene oder gebogene Flachglasscheiben 1a verwendet werden. Dazu kommt noch, dass durch die die Scheibe umfassende Ausbildung des Montagerandes 1 b die Größe der Glasscheibe 1a bei ansonsten vergleichbaren Abmessungen kleiner gehalten werden kann als bei der eingangs genannten Druckschrift mit dem scheibenförmigen Kleberand, bei dem die Glasscheibe bis zu dessen Rand reichen musste, und dass die durch das Anspritzen bzw. Umspritzen bzw. Schäumen erzielte hohe Verbindungsfestigkeit zwischen Glasscheibe 1a und Montagerand 1b die Erstreckung des gesamten Gebildes in Richtung der Lichtstrahlen L und auch im rechten Winkel dazu deutlich geringer gehalten werden kann als im Stand der Technik.The solution according to the invention makes the assembly of the cover 1, consisting of the glass 1 a and their
Bei Wahl der Montagerichtung in Richtung der Scheinwerferachse bzw. der Lichtachse L können Abweichungen von bis zu 20° vorgenommen werden, ohne dass das als nicht mehr parallel angesehen wird. Bei größeren Abweichungen, die insbesondere bei den heute modernen, absolut nicht mehr kreissymmetrischen Formen der Gehäuse passend oder gar notwendig sind, erfolgt die Montage bzw bei der Herstellung das Ausformen einfach in anderer Richtung.When selecting the mounting direction in the direction of the headlight axis or the light axis L deviations of up to 20 ° can be made without that is considered no longer parallel. For larger deviations, which are particularly suitable or even necessary, especially in today modern, absolutely no longer circularly symmetrical shapes of the housing, the assembly or in the production of the molding is simply done in a different direction.
