Abstract

A light-emitting module includes a light source, a support intended to dissipate heat, and an electrical connector connected to the light source. The support includes a base extending substantially in a first plane, the base being provided with a first face to which the light source and the electrical connector are fastened. The electrical connector includes an input arranged along a first edge of the base, and the support includes a first fin protruding with respect to the first plane on the side of the first face, the first fin being connected to the base by a single connecting segment.

Claims (33)

1. A light-emitting module comprising:

a light source including a light-emitting diode;

a support configured to dissipate heat; and

an electrical connector connected to the light source,

the support comprising a base extending substantially in a first plane,

the base being provided with a first face to which the light source and the electrical connector are fastened,

the electrical connector comprising an input arranged along a first portion of a first edge of said base,

the support comprising a first fin protruding with respect to said first plane on a side of said first face,

the first fin being connected to the base by a single connecting segment,

the connecting segment being arranged along a second portion of said first edge, and

the second portion being spaced apart from the first portion by an air gap.

2. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the first fin comprises a primary part extending substantially in a second plane perpendicular to said first plane.

3. The light-emitting module according to claim 2 , wherein the fin comprises at least one secondary part extending substantially in a third plane perpendicular to said first plane and to said second plane.

4. The light-emitting module according to claim 3 , wherein at least one secondary part extends in a volume defined by an orthogonal projection of the base.

5. The light-emitting module according to claim 2 , wherein the support comprises a second fin protruding with respect to said first plane, the second fin being connected to the base by a second connecting segment arranged along a second edge of the base, the second edge being separate from the first edge.

6. The light-emitting module according to claim 2 , wherein the support comprises a third fin protruding with respect to said first plane on the side of a second face of the base, the second face being opposite said first face, the third fin being connected to the base by a third connecting segment arranged along the first portion of said first edge.

7. The light-emitting module according to claim 2 , wherein the base has a substantially rectangular shape, and/or in that the first fin has a substantially rectangular shape or an “L” shape.

8. The light-emitting module according to claim 2 , wherein the support is obtained by bending a metal sheet.

9. The light-emitting module according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an electronic board extending along said first face, the electronic board being electrically connected to the light source and to the electrical connector, the electronic board having a shape adapted to be deposited on the first face of the base by a movement along an axis perpendicular to said first plane without interference with the first fin.

10. An optical module comprising a means for shaping a light beam and the light-emitting module according to claim 2 .

11. An optical module, further comprising:

a means for shaping a light beam and the light-emitting module according to claim 1 .

12. The optical module according to claim 11 , wherein the support of the light-emitting module is fastened directly to said means for shaping a light beam by way of a fastening screw passing through an opening provided in the base of the support.

13. A luminous device for an automotive vehicle comprising a housing configured to be fastened to the automotive vehicle and the optical module according to claim 11 , the optical module being arranged inside the housing.

14. A luminous device for an automotive vehicle comprising a housing configured to be fastened to the automotive vehicle and the optical module according to claim 12 , the optical module being arranged inside the housing.

15. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the support comprises a second fin protruding with respect to said first plane, the second fin being connected to the base by a second connecting segment arranged along a second edge of the base, the second edge being separate from the first edge.

16. The light-emitting module according to claim 15 , wherein the second fin protrudes with respect to said first plane on the side of a second face of the base, the second face being opposite said first face.

17. The light-emitting module according to claim 15 , wherein the support comprises a third fin protruding with respect to said first plane on the side of a second face of the base, the second face being opposite said first face, the third fin being connected to the base by a third connecting segment arranged along the first portion of said first edge.

18. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the base has a substantially rectangular shape, and/or in that the first fin has a substantially rectangular shape or an “L” shape.

19. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , wherein the support is obtained by bending a metal sheet.

20. The light-emitting module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an electronic board extending along said first face, the electronic board being electrically connected to the light source and to the electrical connector, the electronic board having a shape adapted to be deposited on the first face of the base by a movement along an axis perpendicular to said first plane without interference with the first fin.
