Light module for a motor vehicle headlight
The invention relates to a light module for a motor vehicle headlight with a cable harness leading away from the light module, at the end of which a plug counterpart is arranged, the plug counterpart being fixed in a plug receptacle arranged on a support frame carrying the light module, the light module being arranged by a drive means arranged on the light module is pivotable about a first axis of rotation in relation to the support frame,
The light module and the light sources therein as well as the drive means, preferably a stepper motor, are supplied with current via the plug counterpart and the cable harness. Since now LED modules are increasingly used as light sources in
Motor vehicle headlights, such as cornering headlights, are used and the operation of the LED modules requires a higher number of individual cables in the cable harness, the entire cable harness tends to be more rigid at sub-zero temperatures.
This leads to the fact that the motor arranged on the light module and used as a drive means requires more force to pivot the light module, whereby step losses can occur on the motor.
Furthermore, with constant movements of the light module, widening of the plug contacts of the individual cables of the cable harness occurs on the plug counterpart, which leads to frequent loose contacts on the plug counterpart, whereby cable breaks cannot be ruled out.
In known solutions of the prior art, clear cable excess lengths are used, among other things, as a result of which the cable sheathing is chafed on the surrounding components when the light module is pivoted. To prevent such chafing, the individual cables or the cable harness are provided with an additional sheathing, for example silicone, with a risk of outgassing.
