Specific details for implementing the invention

[0028] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached illustrative drawings. Since these embodiments are merely examples and can be implemented in various different forms by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, the embodiments described herein are not limited to the examples described herein.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 1, the vehicle (1) is equipped with a frunk lighting device (10) on the hood (3). In this case, the vehicle (1) is an EV and a future electrified vehicle including the same, in which the engine room applied to a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle is used as a frunk (7) because no engine is applied.

[0030] Specifically, the frunk lighting device (10) is composed of a motor (20), a rotating mechanism (30), a lamp (40), and a cover bracket (50). In this case, the motor (20) and the lamp (40) receive power from a battery, and the battery may be a vehicle battery or a separate battery.

[0031] For example, the motor (20) is fixed to the cover bracket (50) to supply power to the rotating mechanism (30), and a stepper motor can be used as the electric motor. The rotating mechanism (30) is connected to the motor shaft of the motor (20) to receive rotational force, and by moving with the rotational force, the light that was directed toward the emblem (5) when the hood (3) was closed is directed toward the frunk (7) when it was open.

[0032] Therefore, the motor (20) and the rotating mechanism (30) act as actuators to move the lamp (40) so that the light from the lamp (40) can effectively illuminate the emblem (5) and the frunk (7).

[0033] For example, the lamp (40) is mounted on a rotating mechanism (30) such that the direction of illumination of the light is directed toward the emblem (5) when the hood (3) is closed, and toward the frunk (7) when the hood (3) is open, and angular motion is generated by the rotational force of the rotating mechanism (30).

[0034] For example, the cover bracket (50) is fixed to the hood (3) so as to move together with the hood (3), and the motor (20) and the rotating mechanism (30) in the inner part of the hood (3) form a space for accommodating the lamp (40), etc. In this case, the cover bracket (50) may be fixed to the hood (3) by means of bolts or screws, or by welding.

[0035] To this end, the hood (3) is composed of a double panel consisting of a hood outer panel (3A) and a hood inner panel (3B), and is sized to cover the entire space of the frunk (7). In particular, the hood outer panel (3A) provides a place where an emblem (5) is attached and exposed to the outside, and the hood inner panel (3B) is attached to the inside of the hood outer panel (3A) so that the left and right sides of the cover bracket (50) are fastened. In this case, the hood inner panel (3B) is equipped with a hood striker (9) connected to a latch (not shown) that functions to open and close the hood (3).

[0036] Therefore, the above cover bracket (50) is positioned in the space formed by the hood outer panel (3A) and the hood inner panel (3B), so that the motor (20), rotating mechanism (30), lamp (40), and the assembly of the cover bracket (50) housed in the space of the cover bracket (50) are not exposed to the outside from the hood (3).

[0037] As such, the above-described frunk lighting device (10) is characterized as a variable lighting position frunk lighting device in which the lamp (40) has angular movement through a combination of a motor (20) and a rotating mechanism (30), thereby selectively illuminating the emblem (5) and frunk (7) according to the opening and closing of the hood (2).

[0038] Additionally, the frunk lighting device (10) may include a switching controller (60). This is because the switching controller (60) drives the motor (20) with a contact switch signal that detects the opening and closing of the hood (2) as contact (e.g., hood closed) and non-contact (e.g., hood closed), and the motor (20) can rotate in the forward direction by making the contact switch contact signal close the hood (2), while the motor can rotate in the reverse direction by making the contact switch non-contact signal open the hood (2). In this case, the contact switch signal can reverse the forward and reverse rotation of the motor.

[0039] However, if the motor (20) is electrically connected to directly receive the contact switch contact signal for motor forward rotation (e.g., hood closed) and the contact switch non-contact signal for motor reverse rotation (e.g., hood open), the switching controller (60) may not be applied.

[0040] Meanwhile, FIGS. 2 and 3 show the specific configuration and assembly relationship of the motor (20), rotating mechanism (30), lamp (40), and cover bracket (50) of the frunk lighting device (10).

[0041] Referring to FIG. 2, the cover bracket (50) is a square hat-shaped body ( It is made of ) and accommodates a motor (20), a rotating mechanism (30), and a lamp (40) in the internal space of a square hat-shaped body.

[0042] In particular, the above cover bracket (50) is provided with a motor fixing plate (51), and the motor fixing plate (51) protrudes into the internal space from one side of the square hat-shaped body and forms a predetermined gap with the upper surface of the square hat-shaped body.

[0043] Therefore, the layout and detailed configuration of the motor (20), rotation mechanism (30), and lamp (40) accommodated in the internal space of the cover bracket (50) are as follows.

[0044] For example, the motor (20) is positioned on one side of the cover bracket (50) by being welded to or bolted or screwed to the motor fixing plate (51) of the cover bracket (50), and is electrically connected to the battery and / or switching controller (60) via a wire harness.

[0045] Specifically, the above-mentioned rotating mechanism (30) is composed of a driving shaft (31), a rotating gear (33), and a driven shaft (35), and is connected to the motor shaft of the motor (20) to receive rotational force and move the lamp (40).

[0046] For example, the drive shaft (31) is connected to the motor shaft of the motor (20) and is positioned opposite the motor (20) by crossing the internal space of the cover bracket (50). The driven shaft (35) has a lamp (40) mounted in a predetermined section and is positioned below the motor (20) by crossing the internal space of the cover bracket (50) from below the drive shaft (31). The rotating gear (33) is composed of a drive gear (33A) fixed to the drive shaft (31) and rotated together with the drive shaft (31), and a driven gear (33B) fixed to the driven shaft (35) and rotated by the driven shaft (35). By transmitting the rotation of the driven shaft (35) to the driven shaft (35), the rotation direction of the drive shaft (31) and the rotation direction of the driven shaft (35) are formed in opposite directions.

[0047] In particular, the drive shaft (31) is connected to the motor (20) at one end and connected to the inner wall of the cover bracket (50) at the opposite end of the motor (20) in a rotatable free-end structure, and the driven shaft (35) is connected to the inner wall of the cover bracket (50) at both the left and right ends in a rotatable free-end structure, thereby enabling rotation of the driven gear (33B). Therefore, the shaft ends of the driven shaft (35) and the free-end structure of the driven shaft (35) can be supported by bearings.

[0048] Additionally, the driving gear (33A) and the driven gear (33B) of the rotating gear (33) mesh with each other, so that the driven gear (33B) rotates through the driving gear (33A). In this case, the driving gear (33A) is made with a diameter (d) smaller than the diameter (D) of the driven gear (33B), and through the diameter ratio (d / D), the amount of rotation of the driven gear (33B) is formed to be less than the amount of rotation of the driving gear (33A).

[0049] Therefore, the driven gear (33B) rotates only at a certain angle when the driving gear (33A) rotates several times, so the movement of the lamp (40) also moves only at a certain angle. In this case, the certain angle is formed as an acute angle within 45° to 90°, corresponding to the horizontal position of the lamp (40) facing the emblem (5) and the vertical position of the lamp (40) facing the frunk (7).

[0050] For example, the lamp (40) is fixed to the driven shaft (35) and rotates together with the driven shaft (35).

[0051] Referring to FIG. 3, the lamp (40) is composed of a light source module (41), a reflector (43), and a pressing block (47).

[0052] For example, the light source module (41) is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate, and a light source (41A) is provided in the middle section thereof, and the light source (41A) is electrically connected to a battery so that power is supplied along with the vehicle start.

[0053] In particular, the light source module (41) may be welded to the driven shaft (35) or secured to the driven shaft (35) by a clip-type fitting structure. The light source (41A) may be provided as one unit at the front and back of the light source module (41) or may be provided in multiple rows at the front and back, and may use a bulb or an LED (Light Emitting Diode).

[0054] For example, the above-mentioned reflector (43) is formed in a structure in which a plurality of reflector pieces (43a), which are metal plates, are threaded together by a reflector fixing ring (45) to form a rice bowl shape and surround the light source module (41) positioned in the center. Even if only one spot is pressed, the entire structure moves relative to the center where the light source module (41) is positioned, causing it to contract and expand back and forth, thereby forming a steamer plate structure capable of reducing / expanding the diameter.

[0055] In particular, the above-mentioned reflector (43) is fixed by drilling holes in two of the plurality of reflector pieces (43a) facing each other at 180° so that the driven shaft (35) passes through and the reflector (43) is fixed, thereby allowing the reflector (43) to rotate along with the rotation of the driven shaft (35).

[0056] For example, the above-mentioned pressing block (47) is formed as a block with a roughly triangular cross-sectional structure that fixes both ends of the reflector fixing ring (45), thereby maintaining the folded shape of the reflector (43). In this case, the above-mentioned pressing block (47) is provided in an exposed state on the outside of the reflector (43), so that the reflector is divided into a front section and a rear section based on the vertex of the triangular cross-section.

[0057] Meanwhile, FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate that when the hood (2) of the vehicle (1) is opened or closed, the lighting position variable frunk lighting device (10) can effectively implement lighting for each of the emblem (5) and frunk (7) through the direction change of the reflector (43).

[0058] Referring to the emblem light-emitting state (A) in the hood closed state of FIG. 4, the hood (2) is closed in a state where the driven shaft (35) of the driven gear (33B), which is engaged with the driving gear (33A) of the driving shaft (31), is rotated by the motor (20) rotation state (①) by the motor forward rotation signal (see FIG. 1) of the switching controller (60), thereby causing the reflector plate (43) to be raised upward by the rotation angle of the driven shaft (35).

[0059] Then, the reflector (43) is switched to a rear-pressed state (②) by the rear section of the reflector among the triangular cross-section vertices of the pressing block (47) contacting the driving shaft (31), and light from the light source (41A) of the light source module (41) is totally reflected inside the reflector (43) toward the emblem (5), causing the emblem (5) to emit light. In this case, the rear-pressed state (②) of the reflector acts to maintain the direction in which the reflector (43) faces the emblem (5).

[0060] On the other hand, referring to the frunk light-emitting state (B) in the hood opening of FIG. 4, the opening of the hood (2) is switched to a state where the reflector plate (43) is lowered by the rotation angle of the driven shaft (35) by the rotational state (③) of the motor (20) caused by the motor reverse rotation signal (see FIG. 1) of the switching controller (60), and the driven shaft (35) of the driven gear (33B) engaged with the driving gear (33A) of the driving shaft (31) is rotated.

[0061] Then, the reflector (43) is switched to a reflector forward pressing state (④) by the front section of the reflector among the triangular cross-sectional vertices of the pressing block (47) coming into contact with the driving shaft (31), and light from the light source (41A) of the light source module (41) is totally reflected inside the reflector (43) toward the frunk (7), thereby illuminating the space of the frunk (7). In this case, the reflector forward pressing state (④) acts to maintain the direction in which the reflector (43) faces the space of the frunk (7).

[0062] Referring to FIG. 5, the operation state of a rotating mechanism (30) is illustrated, which switches the reflector (43) from the emblem light-emitting state (A) of FIG. 4 to the frunk light-emitting state (B) as the hood (2) is switched from a closed state to an open state. In this case, the driving gear (33A) of the rotating mechanism (30) acts as a reflector pressing rotating gear that is rotated through a driving shaft (31) that presses the pressing block (47), and the driven gear (33B) acts as a reflector / LED module rotating gear that rotates the driven shaft (31) so that the light source module (41) and the reflector (43) move (i.e., angular motion).

[0063] As described, when the hood is closed, the light from the light source (41A) illuminates the emblem (5) through the upwardly inclined reflector (43), and when the hood is open, the drive gear (33A) of the rotating mechanism (30) receives the rotational force of the motor (20) through the drive shaft (31). In this case, it is considered that the illumination state of the reflector (43) is a state in which the movement is expressed in the opposite direction compared to FIG. 2.

[0064] Then, the driven shaft (35) rotates by engaging with the driven gear (33B) and the driving gear (33A).

[0065] As a result, the above-mentioned driven shaft (35) rotates to move the reflector (43) and guides the opening direction of the reflector (43) backward (①), while simultaneously moving the light source module (41) together with the reflector (43) to guide the direction of the light from the light source (41A) toward the frunk (7) (②), so that the interior space of the frunk (7) can be illuminated by the light from the light source (41A) in accordance with the opening of the hood.

[0066] Meanwhile, when the hood (2) is switched from an open state to a closed state, the rotation of the motor (20) and the rotation direction of the drive shaft (31), drive gear (33A), driven gear (33B), and driven shaft (35) are reversed, so a detailed description is omitted.

[0067] As described above, the frunk lighting device (10) applied to the vehicle (1) according to the present embodiment is mounted on the hood (2) which covers or opens the space of the frunk (7) by having an emblem (5) on the front, and the direction of illumination of light from the light source (41A) is changed to illumination of the emblem (5) and illumination of the frunk (7) by the movement of a rotating mechanism (30) connected to a motor (20) whose rotation direction changes according to the closing and opening signals of the hood (2), thereby making it easy to implement an exterior design suitable for future electric vehicles with a luminous effect on the emblem (5) at the front of the vehicle, and in particular, the visibility and usability of the frunk can be maximized by automatically switching the light that illuminates the emblem (5) when the hood (2) is closed toward the frunk (7) to illuminate the frunk space.
