Headlight for vehicles
A headlight for a vehicle with a light source and a lens arrangement associated with it, containing a light entry surface on a side facing the light source and a light emission surface on a side facing away from the light source, wherein light emitted by the light source is mapped by means of the lens arrangement to a predetermined light distribution. A scattering optic part is assigned to the lens arrangement for scattering the light emitted by the lens arrangement. The surface structuring of the scattering optic part has a plurality of cone-shaped optical elements arranged in a row, which are arranged alternately curved in the row direction, wherein a second cone-shaped optical element adjacent to a first cone-shaped optical element is formed by twisting the first cone-shaped optical element on two perpendicular axes.
1. A headlight for a vehicle, the headlight comprising:
a light source;
a lens arrangement associated with the light source, the lens arrangement comprising a light entry surface on a side facing the light source and a light emission surface on a side facing away from the light source, light emitted by the light source is mapped via the lens arrangement to a predetermined light distribution;
a scattering optic part being assigned to the lens arrangement to scatter the light emitted by the lens arrangement; and
a surface structuring of the scattering optic part comprising a plurality of cone-shaped optical elements arranged in a row and which are arranged alternately in a curved manner in a row direction, the cone-shaped optical elements being formed by a first cone-shaped optical element and a second cone-shaped optical element, the second cone-shaped optical element being adjacent to the first cone- shaped optical element, and the second cone-shaped optical element being formed by twisting the first cone-shaped optical element on two substantially perpendicular axes,
wherein the lens arrangement has a lens, the lens having the light entry surface, and wherein the light entry surface is an outwardly curved light entry surface, and
wherein the lens has the light emission surface, the light emission surface being an aspherically formed light emission surface.
2. The headlight according to claim 1 , wherein the cone-shaped optical elements diverge in a fan-like manner from a narrow end to a wide end with opposite side margins, and wherein the opposite side margins are connected to each other by an arc, a radius of which increases from the narrow end towards the wide end.
3. The headlight according to claim 2 , wherein the arc of the cone-shaped optical elements is formed as a circular arc.
