Definitions

  • the present invention relates to light emitting modules, and more particularly to modules in which the light source is a light emitting diode.
  • Such diodes are carried by a printed circuit board which allows the transmission of the control instructions for switching on and off the diode by an on-board control module.
  • these printed circuit boards are mounted on support means capable of dissipating, in particular by appropriate ribbing, the significant thermal radiation specific to the operation of the light-emitting diodes.
  • the light emitting module is arranged so that the diode emits light towards a collector whose arrangement and coating allows reflection of the rays so that they leave the light emitting module according to a desired transmission axis.
  • the collector may be substantially elliptical and the diode placed at its first focus so that a lens placed at the second focus allows the output of light rays parallel to the optical axis of the assembly.
  • the diode is a point source of light, that is to say that it emits in a precise beam, some rays are emitted with an angular dispersion and it is impossible to ensure that the reflection in the collector of these scattered rays leads to an emission output along said desired axis.
  • the emission modules it is known to use a concealer, that is to say a concealed cover which directly blocks the scattered light rays at the output of the diode. It is appropriate in these modules to ensure the position of the concealer both with respect to the diode and with respect to the collector so that the concealer only blocks the scattered rays that can not be reflected correctly inside the module , and that it does not block other rays, which could decrease the photometric performance of the light emitting module.
  • the document EP2573456 A1 discloses a module light emission in which a shield is screwed onto the heat sink of the module.
  • the invention proposes a light emitting module in which the position of the occluder, and the means provided to ensure this position, are specific.

  • the light rays emitted by the diode are mainly directed inside the means of optical ray deflection.
  • the diode is positioned at a sufficient distance from the collector to avoid the formation of an electric arc, which can be formed when a light emitting diode is too close to an aluminized surface.
