  • Publication number: 20210129738
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a damping system for a vehicle headlamp having a housing and an optical module provided with a light source. The damping system includes a damping module, a first linking module configured to link the optical module to the damping module and a second linking module configured to link the housing to the damping module. The damping module is configured such that, when a force with a value less than a predetermined value is exerted on the optical module, the optical module remains fixed relative to the housing, and when a force with a value greater than the predetermined value is exerted on the optical module, the optical module moves resiliently relative to the housing.

  • Patent number: 10323734
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to an electric actuator to render optical elements movable. The electrical actuator generally has a motor, a mechanical transmission assembly having an endless screw, a support element of the endless screw, a drive mechanism, and a return mechanism. The motor is configured to drive the mechanical transmission assembly and the mechanical transmission assembly is configured to drive the drive mechanism, wherein the return mechanism exerts an axial pressure against the endless screw in such a way as to press the endless screw against the support element. The disclosure also relates to an assembly having a movable optical element and an electric actuator of the movable optical element as described above.

  • Publication number: 20190154227
    Abstract: A lighting system having a light source with a light-emitting diode and a scanning device receiving light radiation generated by the light source is provided. The scanning device generally includes a rotatably mobile reflection system and a unit for moving the reflection system. The light source configured such that a generally substantially rectangular light beam oriented along a vertical direction is emitted. The scanning device may be configured to scan the generally substantially rectangular light beam along a horizontal direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction carried out at a speed making it possible to benefit from a persistence of vision, and an activation/deactivation control of the light source may be synchronised with the scanning of the scanning device.
