Abstract
Indirect vision system VIS comprises mirrors and/or cameras and a mixed-function multi-focal multi-functional DS light signal device having the reflector 50 and its associated source hidden under an opaque cover Hi capable of developing an illuminating surface 3 with a line design or luminous perimeter figures, associate and combine within the light perimeter, under the Hi cover, in the H casing or in the structure, other devices and functional subassemblies. With aerodynamic profile associated with protecting and improving the perception of light signal.
Claims19
Indirect vision system with multifunctional hidden reflector signal for vehicles, comprising:
- A structure projected into the lateral vacuum of a vehicle formed by a casing body, a frame and a support arm fixed to the body, with at least one opening occupied by a rearview mirror, a camera and/or a combination thereof to reflect, capture or transmit direct and indirect images;
- A multifunctional luminous signal device that emits in at least two associated zones, an external zone towards the rear and another external zone to the front-side, characterized in that it has a complex optical-reflector body that comprises:
- A reflective substrate associated with a multipoint light source, in the form of a transparent elongated solid substrate, integrated by a plurality of sectors in a single complex optical-reflector body that substantially copies in parallel the interior shape of the housing that contains it like a second internal skin,
- A light entry phase with light control means with at least one light entry point of said source in each sector capable of deflecting the light from the source axis until it coincides with a guideline ray axis of reference of said reflective substrate,
- A position of said reflective substrate and the associated source located behind said housing or associated opaque cover, hidden, eclipsed and free from the incidence of external stray light,
- A secondary light output reflector comprises an inclined reflecting surface interposed in said reflecting substrate that generates a change in direction in the light and in the shape of the substrate,
- A light output phase with an advanced horizontal optical-reflector profile with a horizontal ray-axis, said advanced profile ends in an external illuminating surface made up of sectors arranged in al at least one opening associated with the housing capable of generating a multifocal light output of mixed activation consistent with the integrated sectors of said reflective substrate;
- At least one transverse reference ray axis that crosses the width of said elongated reflecting substrate, originating in a source axis limited between two lateral surfaces of tangential reflection, substantially parallel to each other that form said substrate reflector to associate and direct a series of direct, reflected, sub-reflected rays similar to said reference ray-axis in a direction substantially perpendicular to said secondary reflector, which generates a change of direction between 0° and 90° to produce at least a horizontal ray axis oriented to said illuminating surface, capable of emitting a signal with at least one horizontal reference focal axis;
- A mixed multifocal polyfunctional signal emission in two different focus areas visible by the environment surrounding the EV vehicle, comprising;
- a first external monofocal rearward emission zone with a horizontal rearward focal axis with the optical-reflective means that generate it arranged in the third furthest from the body and,
- a second external front-lateral emission zone with several horizontal focal axes, with the optical-reflective means and interface that generate it, upstream of the aperture of the mirror, behind the mirror on the casing, according to a horizontal plane between an upper tangent and a lower tangent to said mirror.
