Abstract
An illumination apparatus for vehicles having a light source, a support plate for receiving the light source, and an optical unit arranged in front of the light source in the main emission direction to deflect light emitted by the light source onto a roadway in front of the vehicle in accordance with a predetermined light distribution. The light source has a light-emitting surface and a light source frame surrounding the same. The light source is surrounded by a shielding frame with a wall that is raised in the main emission direction and encloses an intermediate space between the light source and the optical unit.
Claims10
An illumination apparatus for a vehicle, the illumination apparatus comprising:
- a light source;
- a support plate, the light source being positioned on a front side of the support plate;
- and
- an optical unit arranged in front of the light source in a main emission direction to deflect light emitted by the light source onto a roadway in front of the vehicle in accordance with a predetermined light distribution,
- wherein the light source has a light-emitting surface and a light source frame surrounding the light-emitting surface,
- wherein the light source is surrounded by a shielding frame that is raised in a main emission direction and encloses an intermediate space between the light source and the optical unit,
- wherein the shielding frame includes a frame wall that is arranged at a distance from the light source and extends into a region near or directly up to the optical unit, and
- wherein the shielding frame widens, at least partially in the main emission direction, from the frame wall into a coupling wall that is connected in a sealing manner to an optical support carrying the optical unit.
