Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung für den Motorraum eines Fahrzeugs, insbesondere eines Personenkraftwagens.The invention relates to a lighting device for the Engine compartment of a vehicle, especially a passenger car.
Um Kontroll-, Wartungs- oder Instandsetzungsarbeiten im Motorraum eines Kraftfahrzeugs durchführen zu können, ist eine ausreichende Beleuchtung erforderlich. Diese ist dann nicht gegeben, wenn das Umgebungslicht schwach ist oder gar Dunkelheit herrscht. In der Regel muß dann eine Taschenlampe oder eine an das Bordnetz anschließbare separate Lampe für die erforderliche Beleuchtung sorgen, was sich jedoch in Abhängigkeit vom Ort der durchzuführenden Arbeiten im Motorraum als schwierig erweisen kann.For inspection, maintenance or repair work To be able to perform in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle is sufficient Lighting required. This is not the case if that Ambient light is weak or there is even darkness. In the Then rule must a flashlight or a separate one that can be connected to the vehicle electrical system Lamp for the necessary lighting provide, which however depends from the location of the to be carried out Working in the engine compartment can prove difficult.
Komfortabler, wenn auch aufwendiger,
sind an der Motorhaube angeordnete Beleuchtungseinrichtungen für den Motorraum
eines Kraftfahrzeugs. So ist es aus der
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung für den Motorraum eines Fahrzeugs nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 so zu gestalten, daß zumindest dessen vordere Komponenten auf einfache Weise beleuchtet werden.It is an object of the invention Lighting device for the engine compartment of a vehicle according to the preamble of the claim 1 so that at least its front components are easily illuminated.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch dessen kennzeichnende Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.This task is done with a lighting device according to the preamble of claim 1 by its characterizing Features solved. Advantageous configurations are listed in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß zur Beleuchtung des Motorraumes eines Fahrzeugs, in dem außer dem Antriebsaggregat und weiteren Komponenten wenigstens ein Scheinwerter mit seinem Gehäuse oder dem hinteren Teil desselben untergebracht ist, wobei im Gehäuse wenigstens ein Reflektor mit wenigstens einer diesem zugeordneten Lichtquelle für eine Lichtfunktion, beispielsweise für Abblend- oder Fernlicht, angeordnet ist, und das Gehäuse fahrzeugfrontseitig mit einer vorzugsweise in einem Karosserieausschnitt angeordneten Abdeckscheibe abgeschlossen ist, das Gehäuse oder wenigstens ein Teil desselben für den Durchtritt von Streulicht oder von gezielt reflektiertem Licht in den Motorraum transparent gestaltet ist. Je nach Anordnung der Komponenten und auch in Abhängigkeit von der Scheinwerferanordnung werden bei eingeschaltetem Scheinwerter zumindest die diesem motorraumseitig zugewandten Komponenten ohne aufwendige Zusatzbeleuchtung angeleuchtet. Eine Fehlersuche oder beispielsweise eine Kontrolle des Ölstandes bei schwachem Umgebungslicht bzw. in der Dunkelheit wird damit auf einfache Weise erleichtert, ohne daß eine zusätzliche, kostenaufwändige Motorraum-Beleuchtung installiert werden muß. Zudem ist durch die Transparenz der Gehäusewandung die Möglichkeit einer visuellen Endkontrolle gegeben, durch die Montagefehler erkannt werden können.The invention is that for lighting the engine compartment of a vehicle in which, in addition to the drive unit and other components at least one headlight with its housing or the rear part of the same is housed, at least in the housing a reflector with at least one light source assigned to it for one Light function, for example for Dipped or main beam, is arranged, and the housing front of the vehicle with one preferably arranged in a body cutout Cover plate is complete, the housing or at least part the same for the passage of scattered light or of specifically reflected light is designed to be transparent in the engine compartment. Depending on the arrangement of the Components and also depending on the headlight arrangement when the headlights are switched on at least the components facing this engine compartment without complex additional lighting illuminated. A troubleshooting or for example, checking the oil level in low light or in the dark is easily facilitated without that a additional costly Engine compartment lighting must be installed. In addition, through transparency the housing wall the possibility given a visual final check by which assembly errors are recognized can be.
Vorteilhaft besteht das Gehäuse aus einem transparenten Kunststoff, der schlagfest, formstabil und glasklar ist, insbesondere aus Polykarbonat.The housing advantageously consists of a transparent plastic that is impact-resistant, dimensionally stable and crystal clear is, in particular made of polycarbonate.
Dabei kann bei einem Scheinwerter vom Reflexionstyp der Reflektor mit wenigstens einem Fenster versehen sein, durch das Streulicht in das transparente Gehäuse und aus diesem in den Motorraum gelangt. Bei einem Gehäuse, bei dem nur ein Teil transparent ausgeführt ist, muß das Fenster mit diesem Teil korrespondieren. Vorteilhaft kann eine vor der Lichtquelle angeordnete Strahlenblende, die die direkten Strahlen der Lichtquelle abschirmt, so ausgebildet sein, daß diese die Strahlen in Richtung des Fensters reflektiert. Das Fenster kann dabei mit einer Zerstreuungslinse versehen bzw. als eine solche ausgebildet sein.It can with a headlight of the reflection type, the reflector is provided with at least one window be, through the stray light in the transparent housing and from there into the engine compartment. With a housing, with that only a part is made transparent, the window must have this part correspond. An arranged in front of the light source can be advantageous Radiation shield that shields the direct rays of the light source, be designed so that this the rays reflected towards the window. The window can provided with a diverging lens or designed as such his.
Bei einem Scheinwerfer vom Projektionstyp, bei dem in einem Tubus mit einem Reflektor im Abstand vom Reflektor eine Projektionslinse zur Bündelung des von der Lichtquelle abgestrahlten und vom Reflektor reflektierten Lichtes angeordnet ist, kann der zwischen dem Reflektor und der Projektionslinse gegebene Bereich des Tubus oder ein Teil dieses Bereiches transparent ausgeführt sein. Überdies kann dieses so gestaltete Projektionsmodul derart aufgebaut sein, daß die Projektionslinse in einer Halterungsplatte aufgenommen ist, die die Projektionslinse peripher ringförmig umgibt und die mit einer reflektierenden Beschichtung versehen ist, die die direkten Strahlen der Lichtquelle in Richtung des transparenten Bereiches reflektiert.For a projection type headlamp, at in a tube with a reflector at a distance from the reflector a projection lens for bundling the one emitted by the light source and reflected by the reflector Light is arranged between the reflector and the Projection lens given area of the tube or part of it Area made transparent his. moreover this projection module designed in this way can be constructed in such a way that the Projection lens is received in a mounting plate that surrounds the projection lens peripherally in a ring and that with a reflective coating is provided which the direct rays the light source is reflected in the direction of the transparent area.
