Headlight
A headlight, especially a motor vehicle headlight, comprises a bushing ( 1 ) with a translucent cover ( 2 ) forming an inner chamber ( 3 ) including a light source ( 4 ), an optical system ( 5 ) for guiding the light beam from the light source, a cooling body having the light source mounted thereon and fitted with cooling elements ( 61 ) to extract heat from the heat source, and a cooling channel ( 7 ) for passage of the cooling media for heat extraction from the cooling elements. The cooling channel is closed with respect to the chamber to prevent the cooling media from passing through the chamber outside the cooling channel The body forms the wall of a part of the cooling channel, and the cooling elements face the inner space of the cooling channel. The part of the cooling channel whose wall comprises the cooling body is arranged in a controlled movable way in the inner chamber.
1. A headlight for a motor vehicle, the headlight comprising a bushing ( 1 ) with a translucent cover ( 2 ) forming the inner chamber ( 3 ), inside the chamber ( 3 ) a light source ( 4 ), an optical system ( 5 ) for guiding a light beam from the light source ( 4 ), a cooling body ( 6 ), the light source ( 4 ) being mounted on a side of the cooling body ( 6 ) that faces the inner chamber ( 3 ), the cooling body ( 6 ) being fitted with cooling elements ( 61 ) to extract heat from a heat source ( 4 ), and a cooling channel ( 7 ) for passage of a cooling media for heat extraction from the cooling elements ( 61 ), wherein the cooling channel ( 7 ) is closed with respect to the chamber ( 3 ) to prevent the cooling media from passing through the chamber ( 3 ) outside the cooling channel ( 7 ), the body ( 6 ) forms a wall of a part of the cooling channel ( 7 ), the cooling elements ( 61 ) of the cooling body ( 6 ) face an inner space of the cooling channel ( 7 ) and the said part of the cooling channel ( 7 ) whose wall comprises the cooling body ( 6 ) is arranged in a controlled movable way in the inner chamber ( 3 ).
2. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the part of the cooling channel ( 7 ) whose wall comprises the cooling body ( 6 ) is arranged in the inner chamber ( 3 ) in a sliding way in a direction of a first axis (α), which is a longitudinal axis of this part of the cooling channel ( 7 ).
3. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the part of the cooling channel ( 7 ) whose wall comprises the cooling body ( 6 ) is arranged in the inner chamber ( 3 ) in a rotary way around a first axis (α), which is a longitudinal axis of this part of the cooling channel ( 7 ).
4. The headlight according to claim 3 , wherein the said part of the cooling channel ( 7 ) whose wall comprises the cooling body ( 6 ) is arranged in a rotary way around a second axis (β, δ), which is a longitudinal axis of another part of the cooling channel ( 7 ).
5. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling channel ( 7 ) is fitted with cylindrical free ends ( 71 , 72 ) mounted with sealing in a rotary and/or sliding way in one or more walls ( 11 , 12 ) of the bushing ( 1 ) of the inner chamber ( 3 ).
6. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling channel ( 7 ) is equipped with a fan ( 79 ) for forced streaming of cooling media.
7. The headlight according to claim 6 , wherein the cooling body ( 6 ) is fitted with cooling elements ( 61 ) comprising a system of fins reaching into the stream of cooling media flowing through the cooling channel ( 7 ).
8. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling body ( 6 ) is mounted in the cooling channel ( 7 ) in a removable way.
