CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims benefits of Chinese Patent Application No. 202010367193.X, filed on Apr. 30, 2020 and Chinese Patent Application No. 202010584682.0, filed on Jun. 23, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle light, and particularly to a light conductor for a vehicle light. The present disclosure further relates to a full beam (i.e., driving beam or high beam) illumination module and a vehicle light.

BACKGROUND ART

The adaptive driving beam (ADB) illumination function means that local illumination dark regions are realized using dynamic control signals, so as to avoid safety risks caused when full beam illumination dazzles drivers of other vehicles on the road surface. Meanwhile, as many illumination light rays as possible can be provided for a driver of a host vehicle to form a better driving environment.

In most full beam illumination modules with the adaptive driving beam function, a plurality of independently controllable light sources arranged in a matrix realize adjacent illumination light spots with a number corresponding to the number of the light sources in conjunction with a primary optical unit and a secondary optical unit. Light entrance surfaces and light exit surfaces of existing secondary optical units are mostly spherical surfaces, the illumination light spot formed by each independently controllable light source has a similar shape to the light source, and an illumination light spot with a required specific shape and a bright and dark boundary is difficult to form. An illumination light shape is usually formed by intersecting and mixing the illumination light spots, and a clear illumination dark region with an illumination boundary is difficult to form.

In some other full beam illumination modules with the adaptive driving beam function, in order to form an illumination dark region with a clear boundary and a specific shape, a cylindrical-surface optical unit is additionally arranged between the primary optical unit and the secondary optical unit, and the diffusion of an illumination light spot in the direction perpendicular to the cylindrical surface axis is controlled by the cylindrical-surface optical unit to form an illumination light spot with a required specific shape and a bright and dark boundary. However, such an arrangement results in a more complex structure of an optical system, the illumination light efficiency is reduced, and the optical performance of the full beam illumination module is greatly influenced by manufacturing errors of various parts. Moreover, the size of a product is correspondingly increased, and the requirement for the assembly precision is higher.

In this preferred technical solution, the horizontal Fresnel cylindrical surface is a curved surface which is formed according to the principle of a Fresnel lens and has the effect of a cylindrical surface with a horizontal cylindrical surface axis, which achieves the effect of a cylindrical surface, and reduces the convexity of the first single orientation collimating plane, thus reducing the thickness and weight of the light conductor for a vehicle light.

Preferably, the second single orientation collimating plane is a cylindrical surface with a vertical cylindrical surface axis. In this preferred technical solution, the cylindrical surface with the vertical cylindrical surface axis can achieve a single orientation collimating effect in the horizontal orientation, and is easy to process and image.

Preferably, the second single orientation collimating plane is a vertical Fresnel cylindrical surface. In this preferred technical solution, the vertical Fresnel cylindrical surface is a curved surface which is formed according to the principle of a Fresnel lens and has the effect of a cylindrical surface with a vertical cylindrical surface axis, which reduces the convexity of the second single orientation collimating plane while achieving the effect of a cylindrical surface with a vertical cylindrical surface axis, thus reducing the thickness and weight of the light conductor for a vehicle light.

Preferably, a plurality of first single orientation collimating planes are provided, and the plurality of first single orientation collimating planes are vertically arranged in the light entrance part. With this preferred technical solution, each first single orientation collimating plane can correspond to one set of light sources, so as to form an illumination light shape formed by the light rays emitted by the plural sets of light sources.

A second aspect of the present disclosure provides a full beam illumination module, including light-emitting chips, a circuit board, a heat sink and the light conductor for a vehicle light according to the first aspect of the present disclosure, wherein a plurality of light-emitting chips are provided, the plurality of light-emitting chips can be independently controlled to be turned on or off, the plurality of light-emitting chips are mounted on the circuit board, the circuit board is mounted on the heat sink, and the light conductor for a vehicle light is provided on light-emitting paths of the light-emitting chips, such that the light-emitting chips are located in the region of the first single orientation collimating plane.

Preferably, the plurality of light-emitting chips are horizontally arranged on the circuit board and all located in the region of the first single orientation collimating plane. In this preferred technical solution, the light rays emitted by the plurality of horizontally arranged light-emitting chips more easily form a plurality of horizontally arranged illumination light spots with bright and dark boundaries under the action of the light conductor for a vehicle light, and the plurality of illumination light spots are combined into a full beam illumination light shape.

With this preferred technical solution, the light rays emitted by each set of light-emitting chips can be collimated by the first single orientation collimating plane and refracted by the second single orientation collimating plane, so as to form an illumination region formed by combining the plurality of illumination light spots with bright and dark boundaries, the illumination regions formed by all the sets of light-emitting chips are combined to form the full beam illumination light shape composed of the plurality of illumination light spots arranged in an array, and the control over the single light-emitting chips facilitates the formation of the adaptive driving beam illumination light shape with more accurate control regions.

Preferably, the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure further includes a lens, and the lens is provided on a light exit path of the light conductor for a vehicle light to project the light rays emitted by the light conductor for a vehicle light, so as to form the illumination light shape. In this preferred technical solution, the arranged lens can secondarily collimate and adjust the light rays emitted by the light conductor for a vehicle light, so as to form a clearer illumination light shape meeting design requirements. The requirement for the collimating performance of the single orientation collimating planes of the light conductor for a vehicle light can be reduced, and thus the size of the light conductor for a vehicle light can be reduced.

With the above-mentioned technical solution, in the light conductor for a vehicle light according to present disclosure, the first single orientation collimating plane and the second single orientation collimating plane which have perpendicular collimating orientations are arranged at the light entrance part and the light exit part respectively, such that the light rays emitted by the light sources can be collimated to different degrees from the two perpendicular orientations, so as to form the illumination light spots which have different illumination ranges in the two perpendicular orientations and have bright and dark boundaries. Due to the independent arrangement of the first single orientation collimating plane and the second single orientation collimating plane, the boundaries of the illumination light spots in the two perpendicular orientations can be freely designed to form the illumination light spots with different shapes. The defect that an existing light conductor for a vehicle light can only form light spots with bright and dark boundaries in the same shape as a light source or cannot form the bright and dark boundaries of the light spots is overcome, such that the performance and application range of the light conductor for a vehicle light are expanded. In the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure, the illumination light shape composed of the plurality of illumination light spots with bright and dark boundaries is formed by arranging the plurality of light-emitting chips which can independently controlled to be turned on or off on the first single orientation collimating plane of the light conductor for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, such that the adaptive driving beam illumination light shape with the illumination region or the illumination dark region having clear boundaries can be formed by independently controlling the plurality of illumination light spots.

The vehicle light according to the present disclosure also has the above-mentioned advantages due to the use of the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure.

Other technical features and technical effects of the present disclosure will be further described in the following specific embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the use of the orientation words, such as “front, rear, upper, lower, horizontal, vertical”, is the orientation or positional relationship after a vehicle light according to the present disclosure is normally mounted on a vehicle. The direction indicated by the orientation word “front” is the normal driving direction of the vehicle; the direction indicated by the orientation word “vertical” is the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The description of the orientation or positional relationship of a light conductor for a vehicle light, a full beam illumination module and its components according to the present disclosure is consistent with the mounting orientation thereof in actual use.

The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the following specific embodiments.

As shown inFIGS.1to14, a light conductor1for a vehicle light according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a light entrance part11and a light exit part12. A first single orientation collimating plane13is formed on the light entrance part11, and a second single orientation collimating plane14is formed on the light exit part12. Usually, a single orientation collimating plane is a curved surface formed by moving a curve along a straight line direction, and the moving curve, i.e., a generatrix of the curved surface, can be a circular arc, an elliptic arc, a parabola, a free curve, or the like. The straight line for the curvilinear motion is called a guide line of the curved surface; the plane formed by moving the connecting line of the two end points of the curve along the straight line direction is called a base plane of the single orientation collimating plane; the locus formed by moving the middle point of the connecting line of the two end points of the curve along the straight line direction is called an axis of the single orientation collimating plane or a cylindrical surface axis. When light rays illuminate the single orientation collimating plane in the direction perpendicular to the base plane of the single orientation collimating plane, the light rays on a certain orientation line (the orientation of the guide line of the single orientation collimating plane) of the base plane are not converged in any form, and the light rays on the other orientation line (the orientation of the generatrix of the single orientation collimating plane) can be converged to the greatest degree. Generally, the orientation line without any form of convergence is perpendicular to the orientation line with the greatest degree of convergence. Herein, the orientation indicated by the orientation line forming the greatest degree of convergence is called a collimating orientation of the single orientation collimating plane. In the present disclosure, “orientation” refers to a set of parallel directions. On the light conductor1for a vehicle light, the collimating orientation of the first single orientation collimating plane13may be perpendicular to the collimating orientation of the second single orientation collimating plane14. Thus, when the light rays pass through the first single orientation collimating plane13, a collimating effect may be generated in the collimating orientation of the first single orientation collimating plane13, and an illumination light spot formed by the light rays is diffused in the collimating orientation of the first single orientation collimating plane13. When the light rays pass through the second single orientation collimating plane14, a collimating effect may be generated in the collimating orientation of the second single orientation collimating plane14, and an illumination light spot formed by the light rays is diffused in the collimating orientation of the second single orientation collimating plane14. Since the convergence capability in the collimating orientation of the first single orientation collimating plane13is different from that of the second single orientation collimating plane14, the diffusion angle of the illumination light spot formed by the light rays in the collimating orientation of the first single orientation collimating plane13is different from the diffusion angle of the illumination light spot in the collimating orientation of the second single orientation collimating plane14, thus forming the illumination light spots having bright and dark boundaries and different lengths in the collimating orientations of the first single orientation collimating plane13and the second single orientation collimating plane14. By controlling the convergence capabilities in the collimating orientations of the first single orientation collimating plane13and the second single orientation collimating plane14, the diffusion angles of the illumination light spot in the two perpendicular orientations can be controlled, thus controlling the shape of the illumination light spot.

In some embodiments of the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.1to14, the collimating orientation of the first single orientation collimating plane13is a vertical orientation, and when the light rays pass through the first single orientation collimating plane13, an illumination light spot having a bright and dark boundary in the vertical orientation is formed. The collimating orientation of the second single orientation collimating plane14is a horizontal orientation, and when the light rays pass through the second single orientation collimating plane14, an illumination light spot having a bright and dark boundary in the horizontal orientation is formed. Thus, after passing through the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, the light rays can form a rectangular light spot having a straight boundary.

As a specific embodiment of the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.4to6, the first single orientation collimating plane13is a quasi-parabolic cylindrical surface with a horizontal cylindrical surface axis. The quasi-parabolic cylindrical surface is a curved surface formed by moving a quasi-parabola with a horizontal symmetry axis on a vertical plane along a horizontal direction perpendicular to the symmetry axis thereof. The quasi-parabola is formed by performing adaptive adjustment on the basis of a parabola. The first single orientation collimating plane13in the quasi-parabolic cylindrical surface shape can collimate the incident light rays in the vertical direction, has a good collimating effect, and is convenient to process. Collimating refers to the process that diffused light rays are refracted by a curved surface to be propagated in a nearly parallel direction.

As a specific embodiment of the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.1and3, the light entrance part11is formed into a light converging cup-shaped structure which is a parabolic cylinder formed by moving a parabola with a horizontal symmetry axis on a vertical plane in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the symmetry axis thereof. Upper and lower curved surfaces of the parabolic cylinder are formed into a parabolic cylindrical surface15, and a groove-shaped light inlet is formed in the top end, i.e., the light entrance end, of the parabolic cylinder. The bottom of the light inlet is formed as the first single orientation collimating plane13, and a light inlet transition surface16is formed between the periphery of the first single orientation collimating plane13and an opening of the light inlet. As shown inFIG.19, when the light rays are incident from the light inlet, most light rays are incident on the first single orientation collimating plane13, collimated by the first single orientation collimating plane13and then emitted to the light exit part12. A small part of light rays are emitted to the light inlet transition surface16, refracted by the light inlet transition surface16, then emitted to the parabolic cylindrical surface15, and totally reflected by the parabolic cylindrical surface15to form reflected and collimated light rays which are emitted to the light exit part12. The arrangement of the light converging cup structure enables the light conductor1for a vehicle light to receive more light rays emitted by a light source, and facilitates location between the first single orientation collimating plane13and the light source. Meanwhile, unnecessary materials outside a light divergence path can be saved, and thus the weight of the light conductor1for a vehicle light can be reduced.

As a specific embodiment of the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.7to10, the first single orientation collimating plane13is a horizontal Fresnel cylindrical surface. The horizontal Fresnel cylindrical surface is a curved surface formed by moving, in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the optical axis of a Fresnel lens, an intersection line of a vertical plane passing through the optical axis of the Fresnel lens and a surface of the Fresnel lens with a plurality of concentric circles. The result formed after the light rays are emitted to and refracted by the horizontal Fresnel cylindrical surface is equivalent to the result formed after the light rays are emitted to and refracted by the cylindrical surface with a horizontal cylindrical surface axis. Thus, the refraction effect of a cylindrical surface can be achieved by a substantially planar structure, and the size and weight of the light conductor1for a vehicle light can be reduced.

In some embodiments of the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.1,2,4,5,7, and8, the second single orientation collimating plane14is a cylindrical surface with a vertical cylindrical surface axis. Similarly, the cylindrical second single orientation collimating plane14can form an expanded illumination region with uniform illuminance in the horizontal direction, and also has the advantages of simple structure and convenient processing.

As a specific embodiment of the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.12to14, the second single orientation collimating plane14is a vertical Fresnel cylindrical surface. The vertical Fresnel cylindrical surface is a curved surface formed by moving, in a vertical direction perpendicular to the optical axis of a Fresnel lens, an intersection line of a horizontal plane passing through the optical axis of the Fresnel lens and a surface of the Fresnel lens with a plurality of concentric circles. The result formed after the light rays are emitted to and refracted by the vertical Fresnel cylindrical surface is equivalent to the result formed after the light rays are emitted to and refracted by the cylindrical surface with a vertical cylindrical surface axis.

In some embodiments of the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.1,3,4,6,9and11, the light entrance part11is provided with a plurality of first single orientation collimating planes13, and the first single orientation collimating planes13are vertically arranged on the light entrance part11to form a plurality of independent surfaces for receiving incident light rays. The collimating orientation of each first single orientation collimating plane13is a vertical orientation.

As shown inFIGS.15to24, a full beam illumination module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes light-emitting chips2, a circuit board3, a heat sink4, and the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to any one of the above-mentioned embodiments. Plural light-emitting chips2are provided and may be LED chips or laser chips with square light emitting boundaries, which can be independently controlled to be turned on or off. The light-emitting chip2is mounted on the circuit board3with the square light emitting boundary in a horizontal or vertical orientation, and power required for the light-emitting chip2to emit light is supplied by the circuit board3. The circuit board3is mounted on the heat sink4, and can transfer the heat generated by the light-emitting chip2emitting light to the heat sink4, so as to reduce the temperature of the light-emitting chip2and prevent damage to the light-emitting chip2caused by a high temperature. The light conductor1for a vehicle light is provided in front of the light emitting surface of the light-emitting chip2, the light-emitting chips2are all located in the region of the first single orientation collimating plane13of the light conductor1for a vehicle light, and the collimating orientation of the first single orientation collimating plane13is parallel to the vertical light emitting boundary of the light-emitting chip2. The light rays emitted by the light-emitting chip2are expanded in both horizontal and vertical orientations by the light conductor1for a vehicle light to form a rectangular illumination light spot with a bright and dark boundary as shown inFIG.25. The plurality of light-emitting chips2emit light simultaneously to form an illumination light shape as shown inFIG.26. By independently controlling the light-emitting chips2, one or more light-emitting chips2can be turned off if necessary, and an illumination dark region having a bright and dark boundary as shown inFIG.27is formed in an illumination region corresponding to the light-emitting chip2, thereby forming an illumination light shape with the illumination dark region capable of achieving an adaptive driving beam function. A plurality of light-emitting chips2may be arranged in the region of the same first single orientation collimating plane13, or the orientations of the base planes of different first single orientation collimating planes13are set, for example, the base planes of different first single orientation collimating planes13and the light exit surfaces of the corresponding light-emitting chips2are disposed at a certain angle, such that the illumination light spots formed by the light-emitting chips2in the regions of different first single orientation collimating planes13are arranged in parallel. Since the light rays emitted by the light-emitting chip2form the illumination light shape only by two refraction surfaces, i.e., the first single orientation collimating plane13and the second single orientation collimating plane14of the light conductor1for a vehicle light, the loss of the light rays at the refraction surfaces is small, and therefore, the illumination light effect is higher.

In some embodiments of the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.17and20, the plurality of light-emitting chips2are horizontally arranged on the circuit board3. The plurality of horizontally arranged light-emitting chips2are all located in the region of the same first single orientation collimating plane13. As a preferred embodiment, the first single orientation collimating plane13is a curved surface formed by taking a circular arc in a vertical orientation as a generatrix and moving the circular arc in a direction (horizontal direction) perpendicular to a plane where the circular arc is located, the first single orientation collimating plane13has a focal line in a horizontal orientation, and the plurality of light-emitting chips2are horizontally arranged near the focal line of the first single orientation collimating plane13. Since the first single orientation collimating plane13is formed by a locus of straight line movement of a curve in a horizontal orientation, a plurality of light-emitting chips2may be arranged along the straight line direction, and the light rays emitted by the plurality of light-emitting chips2and refracted by the first single orientation collimating plane13have the same light distribution. Then, the light rays are refracted by the second single orientation collimating plane14to form the illumination light shape composed of a plurality of rectangular illumination light spots with similar shapes as shown inFIG.25. By independently controlling the light-emitting chips2, one or more light-emitting chips2can be turned off if necessary, and an illumination dark region having a bright and dark boundary as shown inFIG.27is formed in an illumination region corresponding to the light-emitting chip2, thereby forming an illumination light shape with the illumination dark region capable of achieving an adaptive driving beam function.

In some embodiments of the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIG.24, the plurality of light-emitting chips2are arranged on the circuit board3in a plurality of rows arranged in an array, and light-emitting chips2in each row are horizontally arranged on the circuit board3. The numbers of the light-emitting chips2included in the rows may be the same or different depending on the designed light shape. The light-emitting chips2in different rows are vertically arranged on the circuit board3, and the light-emitting chips2in different rows can be arranged in the same vertical direction or form a horizontal offset with a certain distance on the basis of the vertical arrangement. Correspondingly, the light conductor1for a vehicle light is the light conductor1for a vehicle light according to the embodiment with a plurality of first single orientation collimating planes13, each first single orientation collimating plane13corresponds to one row of light-emitting chips2, and the light-emitting chips2in each row are located near the focal line of the corresponding first single orientation collimating plane13. The light conductor1for a vehicle light can form a rectangular illumination light spot by the light rays emitted by each light-emitting chip2in the row, and the illumination light spots formed by the light-emitting chips2in the row are adjacently arranged in the horizontal direction; the illumination light spots formed by the rows of light-emitting chips2are arranged adjacently or partially overlapped in the vertical direction to form a full beam illumination light shape composed of a plurality of independent rectangular illumination light spots as shown inFIG.28. In a specific embodiment, a total of 20 square LED light-emitting chips2are arranged on the circuit board3, and each light-emitting chip2has a side length of 2 millimeters. The20light-emitting chips2are arranged on the circuit board3in 4 rows, each row is composed of 5 light-emitting chips2which are horizontally arranged, the distance between the centers of the adjacent light-emitting chips2in each row is 2 millimeters, individual rows of light-emitting chips2are vertically arranged on the circuit board3, and every two adjacent rows of light-emitting chips have a horizontal offset of 0.5 millimeters. The light conductor1for a vehicle light has 4 first single orientation collimating planes13and 1 second single orientation collimating plane14, each row of light-emitting chips2correspond to one first single orientation collimating plane13, and the light rays emitted by the rows of light-emitting chips2are incident from different first single orientation collimating planes13and emitted out through one second single orientation collimating plane14. Since a large number of light-emitting chips2are adopted, the number of the illumination light spots forming the illumination light shape is also large, the position of the illumination dark region formed in the illumination light shape is also more precise by independently controlling the light-emitting chips2, and meanwhile, turn-off of one light-emitting chip2has smaller influence on the brightness of the illumination light shape, and the dark region effect and the illumination effect of a formed adaptive driving beam are both better.

In some embodiments of the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.29to31, the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure is further provided with a lens5. The lens5is provided on a light exit path of the light conductor1for a vehicle light, and can further converge and project the light rays emitted from the light conductor1for a vehicle light to form the desired illumination light shape. The lens5may be a convex lens with a concave incident surface, a plano-convex lens or a biconvex lens, or a convex lens having a cylindrical surface refraction effect in a certain orientation. The lens5may be formed into a convex lens structure as a whole, or convex lenses with the number consistent with the number of the first single orientation collimating planes13of the light conductor1for a vehicle light are combined into a lens structure. The lens5can perform overall projection or secondary collimating adjustment on the illumination light shape emitted by the light-emitting chips2and formed by the light conductor1for a vehicle light, so as to optimize the formed illumination light shape.

With the above technical solution, in the light conductor for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, the first single orientation collimating plane is provided at the light entrance part, and the second single orientation collimating plane is provided at the light exit part, such that the light rays emitted by the light source can be collimated in two perpendicular collimating orientations, and the illumination light spots formed by the light rays emitted by the light source have different diffusion angles in the two perpendicular orientations, thus forming the illumination light spots with required specific shapes and bright and dark boundaries. In the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure, the plurality of light-emitting chips which can be independently controlled to be turned on or off and the light conductor for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure are adopted, the illumination light spots formed by the plurality of light-emitting chips can be combined to form the full beam illumination light shape formed by combining the plurality of independent illumination light spots with bright and dark boundaries. By the independent control over the light-emitting chips, the illumination dark region with a bright and dark boundary can be formed at the appointed position of the illumination light shape, so as to achieve the adaptive driving beam illumination function. Since the formed dark region has the bright and dark boundary, no stray light exists in the dark region, the illumination brightness outside the dark region is high, and therefore, the shielding effect on opposite targets is better, the illumination effect on peripheral regions of the target is better, and the use safety is higher. In addition, since the collimating function in two perpendicular directions is achieved by a single part in the light conductor for a vehicle light according to the present disclosure, it is possible to realize higher manufacturing precision and higher positioning precision of the part. The stability of the position of the illumination light spot formed by the light-emitting chip is guaranteed, and a more stable illumination light shape can be formed.

The vehicle light according to the present disclosure has the above beneficial effects of the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure due to the adoption of the full beam illumination module according to the present disclosure.
