    PROCESS FOR PRODUCING REFLECTORS
    The invention relates to a method for the production of reflectors, in particular of highly precise and dimensionally stable reflectors for a vehicle headlight.
    Furthermore, the invention relates to a Liehteinheit with at least one such reflector.
    Finally, the invention relates to a motor vehicle headlight with one or more light units.
    Due to the reflectors, which are becoming ever smaller in vehicle construction, the problem arises that small errors in the reflector surface, such as those caused by sink marks, distortion, thermal stress, etc., have strong undesirable effects on the photograph projected in an area in front of the vehicle exercise, especially in the form of blurring at the cut-off line. For larger reflectors such deviations in the reflector surface are usually less critical.
    It is known to form metal reflectors for motor vehicles from sheet metal or to produce by die casting. To produce a smooth surface, the inside of the metal reflector is coated with a glossy lacquer, to form the reflection surface, the lacquer layer thus formed is finally vapor-deposited.
    With such a manufacturing method, however, the desired accuracy of the reflector upper surface can not be realized especially for small reflectors.
    Furthermore, it is known to produce reflectors by injection molding. Such reflectors can be very accurately finished, but these have the disadvantage that they do not have the dimensional stability of metal and thermal resistance less well withstand, it can come correspondingly under thermal stress to deformations.
    It is an object of the invention to provide a method for producing a reflector, with which even small reflectors with sufficient accuracy of the reflector surface can be produced. Small reflectors are increasingly being used in light units with LED light sources. P12185 7
    Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a reflector which has a sufficiently accurate reflector surface and dimensional stability.
    In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide a reflector in which an exact positioning of the light source (s) with respect to the reflector surface is possible.
    Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a reflector whose reflector surface can be positioned exactly with respect to the headlight housing.
    These objects are achieved by a method with the following steps according to the invention: a) producing a metallic, one-piece body, which body consists of a base body and at least one reflector shell, b) applying a suitable material, preferably a plastic material, to form the at least a reflector surface in the optically effective region of the at least one reflector shell.
    These objects are further achieved with a reflector, which according to the invention consists of a metallic, one-piece body, which body consists of a base body and at least one reflector shell, wherein in an optically effective region of the at least one reflector shell a suitable material, preferably a plastic material, for forming the at least one reflector surface is applied, and wherein the material coated, preferably vapor-deposited, at least in the optically relevant region with a reflective material, for example with aluminum or silver, to form a reflective layer.
    The metal body, which is preferably a diecast body, e.g. An aluminum die-cast body, or a deep-drawn body, is designed such that it is formed integrally with the metal reflector surface, which is a part (inner part) of the reflector shell.
    The base body is formed in a specific variant as a heat sink. Ρ12185
    Λ
    The die-cast body is inserted into a tool, preferably an injection molding machine, in order to be able to apply the actual reflector surface. The referencing of the body in the tool (in the injection molding machine) takes place via defined positions.
    For this purpose, the metallic body preferably has one, two or more reference regions formed on its base body, by means of which it is positioned in a tool (injection molding machine) for applying the material, preferably the plastic material.
    The reflector shell is at least in the region of the optically effective region, i. in particular on the inside with the material, which is preferably a plastic material, for example a thermoplastic.
    Preferably, the material is applied in step b) substantially over the entire at least one reflector shell.
    The at least one reflector shell is preferably sheathed or reshaped with the material.
    As already mentioned above, the application of the material, which is preferably in the form of a plastic, preferably takes place in an injection molding machine, in which the material is sprayed onto the at least one reflector shell.
    Due to the stable basic shape of the metallic body, in particular of the die-cast body or deep-drawn body, the free shrinkage of the body, which can lead to large tolerances, is prevented. Furthermore, an associated delay of the reflector is also prevented.
    Furthermore, it is advantageous if in step b) dome and other fasteners are molded from the material during the application of the material.
    Such domes, etc., for example, can serve as a reference dome for a light source to hold it in the exact position with respect to the reflector surface. The formation of the dome, etc. from the (plastic) material is advantageous because they can not be produced with sufficient accuracy in die casting or deep drawing. P121 & 5 1 -4j-;
    Fixing connections, such as screw domes, which are formed on the back of the reflector surface or the reflector shell of the plastic material, can no longer produce sink marks on the reflector surface.
    In addition, it is expedient if recesses etc. are formed in the metallic body in step a).
    With the invention tolerance variations in production due to different batches of material can be reduced to a minimum, tool inaccuracies or polishing defects in the reflector surface pose no more problems.
    After the application of the plastic, the body can be vaporized with the reflective layer in a conventional manner, a pretreatment is not necessary.
    Preferably, the material for application is a thermoplastic.
    The reflector surface or individual reflector segments can be generated when using thermoplastic with high accuracy.
    If the diecast part is merely coated, this accuracy can not be achieved.
    It is particularly advantageous if the reflector shell is simultaneously and / or evenly encapsulated on its front and rear sides. It is favorable if, during the injection molding process, care is taken to ensure that the reflector surface "filled" at the rear and at the front at the same time. (i.e., the gap between reflector cup and tool), e.g. can be achieved by flow brakes. In this way, a deformation of the reflector surface or the reflector shell (made of metal) due to the high injection pressure can be prevented
    The sprue can be made from the back by means of a tunnel, since the (alumimum) die-cast shell can act as a baffle. When removed from the injection molding machine handling can capture the body at the non-extrusion area. This can save the loss of a sprue at a film gate. P12185 ···· ·· * ·
    Various recesses are attached to the die-cast body to allow positioning domes to be placed in the subsequent process and to position / attach the light source.
    Subsequent to step b), finally, in step c), the material is coated at least in the optically relevant region with a reflective material, for example with aluminum or silver, to form a reflective layer, preferably vapor-deposited.
    In the following the invention with reference to the drawing is shown in more detail. In this shows
    1 shows a light module according to the invention,
    2 shows the reflector of Figure 1 with the light source cover removed and with the light source removed,
    FIG. 3 shows the representation from FIG. 2 with partially "removed". Plastic deformation, Fig. 4 a light source cover with integrated additional reflector,
    5 shows the illustration from FIG. 2 with referenced light source,
    Fig. 6 is a vertical section along the dotted line through the body as shown in Figure 3, and
    7 shows a detailed view of the reference area circled in FIG. 6.
    This consists of a metallic, preferably one-piece body 2 (see Figure 3), which body 2 of a base body - such as in the form of a heat sink 3 - and at least one, in the present example exactly a reflector shell 4 consists. Shell 4 and heat sink 3 are thus integrally formed.
    It is also conceivable that the base body (heat sink) is bolted to the reflector shell and then this body is encapsulated and so the additional inaccuracies that could be caused by the screwing, also be compensated. But is preferable in the one-piece design usually. -7 P12185

    The body 2 has a recess 30 in order to be able to position a light source. The light units or modules according to the invention are relatively small. When dome 7 (see below) is molded, a light source attached subsequently contacts the reflector.
    In order to have enough room for maneuver to mount, the rear area is cleared, ie a recess 30 is attached. This freedom of action is also necessary in order not to damage the very delicate reflector surface during assembly.
    Such an exemplary release 30 is arranged in the illustrated case, in an unused reflector area, which would not contribute much to the light distribution anyway.
    Of course, reference domes could be formed for the reflector part 10, so that this is positioned exactly to the LEDs. In the case shown, this is not absolutely necessary since the reflector 10 only reflects the light, which is already very faint, emitted laterally.
    On the reflector shell 4, a material 5, preferably a plastic material, is applied to form the reflector surface 6, via which light of a light source is radiated into the exterior space. Preferably, the material 5 for application is a thermoplastic, for example polyimide or polyetherimide.
    The reflector surface or individual reflector segments can be generated when using thermoplastic with high accuracy.
    On the heat sink 3, an LED light source 8 is mounted with (in this case) an LED 9. (Figure 5). The light source 8 is provided with a "cover". Covered 10, which has a light exit opening 11. Furthermore, in the cover 10 threaded holes 14, 14 'are provided, via which the "cover". 10 in corresponding holes 12, 12 'in the heat sink with screws 15 (Figure 6.7) is screwed.
    In order to provide the most accurate possible reference for the light source 8, it is favorable if the reference domes 7 (FIG. 2, FIG. 3) for the light source with the reflector surface from the P12185 ·· ···· ····
    Plastic material 5 mitgeformt. Thus, the tolerances of the die-cast body 2 for the positional tolerance of the light source in an x and y direction no longer play a role. In order to keep the tolerance low even in the z-direction, it is advantageous if, during the encapsulation of the reflector shell 4, the support surface 20 for the light source on the base body simultaneously represents the reference for the injection molding machine; the region 20 or even the base body 3 is therefore not provided with plastic.
    The reference surface 20 of the heat sink specifies the exact position of the LED light source in the z direction. The reflector surface 6 should therefore be positioned exactly to this reference surface 20. In addition, heat is dissipated via the reference surface 20 of the LEDs, so that they should not be coated or encapsulated with plastic.
    At these domes 7, the light source 8 with corresponding openings 13, 13 'are positioned.
    The die-cast body is inserted into a tool, preferably an injection molding machine, in order to be able to apply the actual reflector surface 6. The referencing of the body in the tool (in the injection molding machine) takes place via defined positions. For this purpose, the metallic body 2 on its base body 3 formed Referenzierberei-che 20, 21, 22, by means of which it is positioned in a tool (injection molding machine) for applying the material 5.
    In the variant shown, three referencing areas are provided, as a rule at least one such area is sufficient.
    After the application of the plastic, the body, as shown in Figure 2, coated in a conventional manner with the reflective layer, preferably steamed, a pretreatment is - especially when using polyimide or polyetherimide not necessary.
    The coating is preferably carried out only in the optically relevant region, for example with aluminum or silver, to form the reflective layer. P12185 4
    The attachment of the light source 8 can for example be as follows: placing the light source 8 without adhesive on the surface 20, so that the tolerance of the light source in the z-direction can be reduced by the tolerance of the adhesive. This is another advantage of the invention.
    If the reflector surface allows a greater tolerance in the z-direction, the light source can also be glued to the base body. This depends essentially on the size of the system and / or the type of light figure to be achieved. A fog lamp or a high beam is much more sensitive than a dimmed light figure, such as, for example, low beam,
    In the variant shown, see in detail also the figures 6 and 7, a so-called shutter shutter (cover of the light source) 10 at the same time used as a fixing aid for the light source 8 by two screws, preferably plastic screws 15 from the bottom of the base body 3 forth in the shutter cover 10 are screwed and press the light source on the base body (heat sink), as already described above.
    The shutter aperture 10 is not a beam aperture in the conventional sense, but essentially a design element. The illustrated components such as the LED light source are visible from outside the headlight, with the element 10, this can be visually obscured.
    In addition, the aperture 10 can also be used as an additional reflector to make the system more effective. The light emerging from the light source, in particular at a larger angle, is reflected (on the oval surface of the element 10), so that this too can be used.
    Of course, reference domes for the component 10 could be formed from the material 5, so that this is also positioned exactly to the LEDs. In the case shown, this is not absolutely necessary since the component 10 only reflects the light, which is already very faint, emitted laterally.
    Another relevant point not shown in the figures is as follows: holding elements, e.g. for attaching the unit to a support frame, attached / molded, these sit for example on the outside of the reflector shell.
    In pure Kunststoffreflektoren these holding means can cause an additional delay of the reflector surface, which may affect the reflected light undesirable.
    In the present case, such a delay is reliably prevented by the dimensionally stable metallic skeleton.
    With a headlight or light module according to the invention, the relevant ECE and SAE standards can be met.
