Description

Motor vehicle daytime running signal module and lighting and signal assembly comprising same
Technical Field
The present invention claims priority from french application 1904751 filed on 7/5/2019, the contents of which (text, drawings and claims) are incorporated herein by reference.
The invention finds application in the field of lighting and signalling of motor vehicles.
More precisely, the invention relates to a Daytime Running light or daylight Running Lights (so-called DRL, i.e. "Daytime Running Lights") signaling module for equipping a motor vehicle, as well as to a lighting and signaling assembly comprising said module.
Background
Generally, a motor vehicle is equipped with lighting modules (headlamps, dipped headlamps, high beam) and signaling modules (daytime running lights (so-called "DRLs"), direction indicators, turn signals, etc.) on its own front surface. Each module comprises an electronic system (e.g. a printed circuit board) for conditioning one or more illumination sources in the form of a bulb (halogen, xenon, LED, etc.) associated with an optical system (lens, reflector, etc.).
The inherent electronic and optical components of each module are enclosed in separate housings, each of which is enclosed by glass, typically secured by soldering.
Thus, on some vehicles today, the housing of the daytime running signal module (DRL) is housed in the headlamp housing.
However, since each module has its own fixed interface, the assembly of the respective housings of the head and daytime running lights and the subsequent assembly of the module with the closing glass on the bodywork are awkward operations, since these operations require a relative positioning and perfect integration between these modules.
In fact, when assembled on the structure of said vehicle, these modules need to be superimposed in order to simultaneously guarantee good balance (iso-static) and reliable tightness, and to provide a harmonious, continuous and uniform appearance that complies with the vehicle external styling lines.
Also, the housing of the headlamp module with the halogen bulb and the housing of the headlamp module with the LED are different in structure, which requires manufacturing a housing of a daytime running signal module (DRL) adapted to each type of headlamp.
However, both the housing of the halogen headlamp and the housing of the LED headlamp have peripheral grooves for fixing glass, the structure of which is identical for both types of housings.
Disclosure of Invention
Against this background, it has proved necessary to provide an integrated solution which is able to ensure the integration of daytime running signal modules compatible with different headlamp modules, without modifying the stylistic effect and without compromising the reliability of the assembly.
The invention is precisely directed to solving this technical problem and meets the expressed need by providing a day signal module carrying a fixing element cooperating with a retaining element implemented in the same way on both types of headlamp housings.
This object is achieved by means of a daytime running signal module of a motor vehicle for integration in a headlamp housing closed by a glass, the headlamp housing being equipped with a peripheral groove which receives an edge of the glass, characterized in that the daytime running signal module comprises hooking members on its upper and side edges for embedding in the peripheral groove in the upper part of the headlamp housing.
According to a preferred embodiment, the hooking member comprises at least two upper tabs extending substantially horizontally and at least two side tabs extending substantially vertically.
According to an advantageous feature, the signal module DRL of the invention comprises longitudinal reinforcing ribs.
According to another advantageous feature, the module DRL of the invention comprises a central recess on its lower edge for receiving a support tongue integral with the inner surface of the glass.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a lighting and signaling assembly for a motor vehicle, the lighting and signaling assembly comprising: on the one hand, a headlamp housing closed by a glass, which is equipped with a peripheral groove in which the edge of the glass is fixed; and on the other hand a day row signal module (DRL) as defined above, characterized in that it is held in the upper part of the headlamp housing by its hooking members for hooking in the peripheral groove of the headlamp housing, and in that the glass is equipped on its inner surface with a supporting tongue for supporting the module (DRL).
According to a first variant of the assembly, the headlamp housing is a housing of a headlamp with an Led bulb.
According to a second variant of the assembly, the headlamp housing is a housing of a headlamp with a halogen bulb.
Further, another object of the present invention is to provide an assembly method for assembling a lighting and signaling assembly as defined above, characterized in that the hooking means of the signaling module DRL are introduced into a peripheral groove on the upper part of the headlamp housing and an adhesive is applied on the outline of the glass or in the groove, then the outline of the glass is engaged into the groove while being occluded (imprisonnant) the upper edge of the signaling module (DRL).
According to a characteristic of the method, the signalling module (DRL) is lifted (relev) and is constrained by the glazing when the profile of the glazing engages in the groove.
A final object of the invention is to provide a motor vehicle equipped with a lighting and signalling assembly having the characteristics defined above.
Therefore, the present invention is applied to a head lamp having an Led bulb and a halogen bulb by integrating the same added signal module. The module is unitary and one-piece and is manufactured separately from the headlamp housing in which it is housed.
The invention thus provides economic savings and is easier to assemble, since the fastening of the signal module is carried out by gluing or welding into the recess of the headlight housing simultaneously with the glass.
Moreover, the invention enables to guarantee the positioning of the signal module DRL in the headlamp housing, since the position and orientation of the signal module DRL is directly related to the position and orientation of the glass (which is necessarily very precise).

Detailed Description
For purposes of clarity, the same or similar elements are identified throughout the drawings by the same reference numerals.
Of course, the embodiments of the method of the invention shown by the figures shown in the context are given only as non-limiting examples. It is expressly intended that different embodiments may be provided and that combinations between the embodiments described may be provided to provide further embodiments.
The present invention relates to the field of lighting and signalling for motor vehicles.
More precisely, the invention relates to a daytime running light or daytime running light signalling module (DRL)1 for equipping a motor vehicle and to a lighting and signalling assembly E comprising a headlamp housing into which the module DRL is integrated.
An embodiment of a daytime running signal module (DRL)1 of the invention, which is intended to be integrated in a headlamp housing 2 closed by a glass 3 in order to form a lighting and signaling assembly E ready to be fitted to a vehicle, is shown in fig. 1A and 1B. Such an assembly E is shown in fig. 2 and 6A.
The headlamp housing 2 is typically provided with a peripheral groove 20 which receives an edge of the glass 3. The invention is intended to allow the integration of the same signal module DRL1 in the housing of a headlamp with an Led or halogen bulb, said housing comprising a peripheral groove 20 for fixing a closing glass 3.
To this end, the signal module DRL1 of the invention and in particular the housing of the signal module DRL comprises hooking members on its upper and side edges for embedding in a peripheral groove 20 in the upper part of the headlamp housing 2.
In the embodiment represented here by fig. 3A, 3B and 4A, 4B, the hooking members comprise at least two substantially horizontally extending upper tabs 11 and at least two substantially vertically extending side tabs 12. It is explicitly noted that these orientations refer to the position of the module 1 after the lighting assembly E is mounted on the vehicle.
The signal module 1 is thus held inside the headlamp housing 2 and in the upper part thereof by said hooking members, before being finally united with the housing 1 by simultaneous adhesion with the glass 3 and with the tabs 11, 12 interposed in the peripheral groove 20.
If necessary, the bottom of the groove 20 is equipped with a groove in which the ends of the tabs 11, 12 are nailed and wedged, as shown in fig. 3A and 4A.
The module 1 also comprises a longitudinal stiffening rib 14 and has, on its lower edge, a central recess 13 for receiving a support tongue 31 integral with the inner surface of the glass 3 (as shown on figures 5 and 6B).
In fact, however, when anchored in the recess 20, the signal module 1 tends to turn forward and downward by gravity due to its own mass. This phenomenon is even more serious since the four hooking tabs 11, 12 are located at the periphery of the module 1 and have a certain elasticity. The tongue 31 of the glass 3 can solve this problem by correcting the orientation of the module and lifting the module 1, as shown in fig. 6B.
The assembly method for assembling the three constituent elements of the lighting and signaling assembly E of the invention firstly comprises: as shown in fig. 6A, the hooking tabs 11, 12 of the signal module DRL are introduced into a peripheral groove 20 on the upper part of the headlamp housing 2. Together, an adhesive is applied on the outer contour of the glass 3 or in the groove 20, and then the outer contour of the glass 3 is bonded into the groove 20 while the upper edge of the signal module (DRL)1 is caught and the headlamp housing 2 and the module 1 are covered.
When the profile of the glazing 3 is engaged in the groove 20, the signal module DRL1 is lifted and restrained by the force of the tongue 31 against the rib 14 inside the notch 13, as shown in figure 6B.
