Vehicle Lamps

Abstract

In a parabolic vehicle lamp in which a first reflector for forming a light distribution pattern for low beams and a second reflector for forming an additional light distribution pattern for high beams are arranged in a line in a direction intersecting the front and rear directions of the lamp , to improve its visual recognition. As the second reflector, it is configured such that the short-distance reflective surface at the near position and the long-distance reflective surface at the far position are arranged at a required interval with respect to the second light source, and on this basis, it is arranged in front of the low-beam lighting mode. The third light source is turned on, and a third reflector is arranged in the gap between the short-range reflective surface and the long-distance reflective surface. Thus, in the low-beam lighting mode, not only does the first light source turn on the reflective surface of the first reflector to make it look shiny, but also the third light source turns on the third reflector to make the reflective surface look brighter. glow.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a parabolic vehicle lamp configured to selectively form a low beam light distribution pattern and a high beam light distribution pattern. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as a so-called parabolic vehicle lamp configured to reflect light emitted from a light source toward the front of the lamp by a reflector, the following vehicle lamp is known, which is configured by combining a light distribution pattern for low beam and a high beam. It is selectively formed with a light distribution pattern. [0003] "Patent Document 1" describes, as the structure of the above-mentioned vehicle lamp, a structure in which a first reflector and a second reflector are arranged in a row in a direction intersecting the front-rear direction of the lamp, and the first reflector The first reflector forms a light distribution pattern for low beam by reflecting the emitted light from the first light source toward the front of the ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] Regarding the above-mentioned existing vehicle lamps, in the high-beam lighting mode, the first and second light sources are turned on to make it appear that the reflecting surfaces of the first and second reflectors emit light, but in the low-beam lighting mode, only the first and second reflectors emit light. The light source is turned on but the second light source is not turned on. Therefore, the reflection surface of the first reflector appears to emit light, but the reflection surface of the second reflector does not appear to emit light. Therefore, the visibility as a vehicle lamp is reduced.
