[0002] As consumers place increasingly higher demands on the aesthetics of vehicle lighting, which goes beyond its basic function of illumination to provide driver visibility and various information about the vehicle's driving status, research is actively underway on vehicle lights with diverse lighting patterns. As an example, special lenses capable of creating 3D shaped lighting images can be applied to vehicle lights.

[0003] However, according to conventional technology, even if special lenses are applied to vehicle lamps, 3D shaped illumination images cannot be fully realized, and the characteristics of special lenses cannot be properly utilized. Therefore, the luminous efficiency of vehicle lamps including special lenses may be reduced.

[0004] Figure 1 An example of a vehicle lamp according to conventional technology is illustrated. In the structure of the vehicle lamp according to conventional technology, light is irradiated from a light source 1 located in the rear region of the lamp, and the light forms an illumination image after passing through a first lens 2 and a second lens 3 located in the front region of the lamp. However, when achieving a 3D-shaped illumination image, the stereoscopic effect in the image is significantly degraded by the rear illumination scheme, and when the second lens 3 is arranged vertically, the lateral light output from the side surface "S" of the second lens 3 cannot be used. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The forward protrusion may include: a first forward protrusion that extends from the end of the downward protrusion and protrudes forward; and a second forward protrusion that protrudes forward from the downward protrusion and is disposed above the first forward protrusion.

[0019] The lamp may include: a plate on which a light source is disposed; and a support member disposed below the plate, with a portion thereof attached to a second forward projection.

[0020] The support member can be attached to the front and upper surfaces of the second forward protrusion.

[0021] The first forward protrusion can contact the plate on the upper side of the plate.

[0022] The upper surface of the inner lens and the lower surface of the second inner lens can be joined together.

[0023] The lamp may also include a reflector disposed above the second inner lens, and the rear end of the second inner lens may be inserted into a space defined between the rear end of the reflector and the rear end of the first inner lens.

[0024] The reflector can be formed in a planar shape, tilted towards the front, and reflects light output through the upper surface of the second inner lens.

[0025] The reflector can be formed into a curved shape, configured such that its convex surface is tilted towards the front, and reflects the light output through the upper surface of the second inner lens towards the front.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] In the following description, a lamp for a vehicle according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains can readily implement it. However, the present disclosure may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to or construed as described below.

[0036] For the purpose of clearly describing this disclosure, detailed descriptions of components that may obscure the nature of this disclosure or that are unrelated to the specification or related known technology will be omitted, and in the addition of reference numerals to elements in the accompanying drawings, the same or similar reference numerals will be used throughout the specification to give the same or similar elements.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms and wording used in the specification and claims should not be interpreted in their general lexical meaning, but rather based on the principle that the inventors may appropriately define the terms in order to best describe the present disclosure, and should be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the present disclosure.

[0038] Lights for vehicles

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the lamp 10 for a vehicle (hereinafter referred to as "lamp") according to this disclosure includes a light source 100 that outputs light and an inner lens 200 with its surface facing the light source 100.

[0040] First, there is no limitation on the type of light source 100, but the light source 100 can preferably be an LED. Furthermore, the light source 100 can be located below the inner lens 200 and can be configured to face downwards or towards the inner lens 200.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The inner lens 200 can be positioned horizontally, with its main plane facing upwards and downwards. Multiple surfaces can be formed on the circumference of the inner lens 200, and the main plane of the inner lens 200 can refer to the surface with a relatively large surface area among these multiple surfaces. Therefore, the arrangement of the inner lens 200's main plane horizontally facing upwards and downwards means that the surface with a relatively large area among the multiple surfaces is positioned such that the inner lens 200 is placed horizontally and faces both upwards and downwards. In this case, because the upward / downward dimensions of the lamp 10 can be reduced, the lamp 10 can be made slimmer compared to a conventional lamp 10.

[0042] According to the lamp 10 of this disclosure, light emitted from the light source 100 can enter the inner lens 200 and can be emitted to the outside via multiple surfaces formed in the inner lens 200. Here, according to this disclosure, a different shape of illumination image can be formed depending on which of the multiple surfaces of the inner lens 200 emits light to the outside. That is, according to the lamp 10 of this disclosure, the illumination image of the lamp 10 can change depending on the viewing position of the lamp 10. The illumination image can refer to the image of the lamp 10 perceived by the eye of a person viewing the lamp 10 from the outside when the light source 100 is lit.

[0043] According to this disclosure, the lamp 10 can form a first illumination image and a second illumination image when light output from the light source passes through the inner lens 200. The first illumination image can be formed by light "A" from the light output from the light source 100, which is input to the inner lens 200 via its lower side and then output through a side surface of the inner lens 200. The second illumination image can be formed by light "B" from the light output from the light source 100, which is input to the inner lens 200 via its lower side and then output through the upper-facing main plane of the inner lens 200. Therefore, compared to the case where the inner lens 200 is vertically arranged, the lamp 10 according to this disclosure can improve optical efficiency by utilizing the lateral light of the lens and can achieve various illumination images in one lamp 10. In this way, this disclosure can simultaneously achieve various illumination images in one lamp 10, and can achieve design differentiation between the lamp 10 and the vehicle through complex illumination images.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The construction of lamp 10 according to this disclosure will be described in more detail. Figure 3This is an enlarged cross-sectional view illustrating the state of light output from a light source for a vehicle lamp through an inner lens, according to the present disclosure. Figure 4 This is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a lamp for a vehicle according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0045] First, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner lens 200 may include a first inner lens 210 and a second inner lens 220. The first inner lens 210 may be disposed in the lower region of the inner lens 200, and the second inner lens 220 may be attached to the first inner lens 210 at its upper part. Here, the arrangement of attaching the second inner lens 220 to the first inner lens 210 at its upper part can mean that the second inner lens 220 is stacked on the first inner lens 210, and then the upper surface of the first inner lens 210 and the lower surface of the second inner lens 220 can be combined with each other.

[0046] The first illumination image can be formed by light "A" from the light output from the light source 100, which is input to the second inner lens 220 from the lower side and then output through a side surface of the second inner lens 220. Here, a side surface of the second inner lens 220 can refer to the surface facing the front of the lamp 10 among the plurality of surfaces formed in the second inner lens 220.

[0047] Simultaneously, the second illumination image can be formed by the light "B" output from the light source 100, which is input to the second inner lens 220 via its lower side and then output through its upper surface. Here, it can be understood that the upper surface of the second inner lens 220 is the same as the principal plane of the second inner lens 220 facing upwards.

[0048] The second inner lens 220 of the lamp 10 according to this disclosure can be a cylindrical lens. A cylindrical lens is a special type of lens manufactured such that the image changes depending on the angle from which the user views it from the outside. Therefore, when the second inner lens 220 of this disclosure is a cylindrical lens, different illumination images can be achieved depending on the viewing angle. Specifically, when the second inner lens 220 is a cylindrical lens and is arranged horizontally in the lamp 10 according to this disclosure, a 2D illumination image with a consistent image in each area can be achieved by the light "A" output through the front surface of the cylindrical lens, and a three-dimensional 3D illumination image can be achieved due to the binocular parallax generated by the light "B" output through the upper surface of the cylindrical lens.

[0049] Continue, refer to Figure 3In the detailed description of the construction of the first inner lens 210, the first inner lens 210 may include a main body portion 211, a downward protrusion portion 212, a forward protrusion portion 213, and an upward protrusion portion 14. The main body portion 211 may define the main body of the first inner lens 210 and may serve to support the second inner lens 220 below it. The downward protrusion portion 212 may be provided at the front end of the main body portion 211 and protrude downward, and the first inner lens 210 may be supported by the plate 300 and the support member 400, which will be described below. The forward protrusion portion 213 may be provided on the front surface of the downward protrusion portion 212 to protrude forward, and together with the downward protrusion portion 212, the first inner lens 210 may be supported by the plate 300 and the support member 400, which will be described below. Specifically, the first inner lens 210 may be fixed and not move in the upward / downward direction.

[0050] The main body 211 may have a structure that supports the second inner lens 220, allowing light emitted from the light source 100 to be input to and output towards the second inner lens 220, thereby improving light efficiency and forming various illumination patterns. To achieve this, the main body 211 of the first inner lens 210 according to this disclosure may include: a condensing surface 211-1, which is formed to protrude outward from the lower side of the main body 211 and into which light emitted from the light source 100 is input; and a diffuser surface 211-2, which is formed on the upper part of the main body 211 and into which light input from the condensing surface 211-1 is output to the second inner lens 220. Here, the condensing surface 211-1 and the diffuser surface 211-2 may be surfaces located on opposite sides of the first inner lens 210 or on the main body 211. Furthermore, the arrangement of the light-concentrating surface 211-1 protruding outward from the lower side of the main body 211 means that the lower surface of the first inner lens 210 facing the light source 100 protrudes towards the light source 100, while having a specific curvature overall.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 The light-concentrating surface 211-1 can have a Fresnel lens shape that converges light emitted from the light source 100. A Fresnel lens can refer to a lens having an optical structure etched with continuous concentric grooves on one surface, and can be made of plastics such as acrylic, PVC, PC, and HDPE. When the light-concentrating surface 211-1 of the body portion 211 of the first inner lens according to this disclosure is formed from a Fresnel lens, even if the lens is formed thin, the volumetric optical efficiency of the lens can be improved due to its excellent light-concentrating ability, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

[0052] Meanwhile, the diffuser surface 211-2 may include fine optical elements to diffuse the light output from the light source 100. Here, the fine optical elements for diffused light may refer to a plurality of concave structures formed on the surface of the diffuser surface 211-2 of the first inner lens 210 and recessed in the light travel direction. In this way, light incident on the concave structures of the diffuser surface 211-2 can travel after output and diffusion.

[0053] Furthermore, the diffuser surface 211-2 may include fine optical elements that allow light output from the light source 100 to diffuse after convergence. Here, the fine optical elements that converge and diffuse the light can refer to multiple convex structures formed on the surface of the diffuser surface 211-2 of the first inner lens 210 and protruding in the direction facing the light source 100. In this way, light incident on the convex structures of the diffuser surface 211-2 can travel after convergence and diffuse after output. In this way, when the diffuser surface 211-2 includes fine optical elements, the input light can be uniformly distributed in all directions, thereby achieving a uniformly illuminated image.

[0054] Next, the forward protrusion 213 may include a first forward protrusion 213-1 and a second forward protrusion 213-2. The first forward protrusion 213-1 may extend from the end of the downward protrusion 212 and protrude forward, and the second forward protrusion 213-2 may protrude forward from the downward protrusion 212 and may be disposed above the first forward protrusion 213-1 to protrude forward. In this way, the forward protrusion 213 may include the first forward protrusion 213-1 and the second forward protrusion 213-2, and may support and fix the first inner lens 210 inside the lamp 10.

[0055] The lamp 10 according to this disclosure may include a plate 300, on which a light source 100 is disposed. The plate 300 can transmit electrical signals to enable the light source 100 to output light, and also serves to support the inner lens 200. Furthermore, the lamp 10 according to this disclosure may be disposed below the plate 300, and a portion thereof may include a support member 400 attached to a second forward protrusion 213-2. Here, "partial" may refer to the front region of the support member 400. That is, the support member 400 may be formed below the plate 300 to have a flat plate shape to support the plate 300, and may be bent in the front region to attach to the second forward protrusion 13-2. More specifically, the support member 400 may be attached to the front surface and the upper surface of the second forward protrusion 213-2. Therefore, movement or deviation of the first inner lens 210 towards the front region can be prevented, and movement in the upward / downward direction can be prevented, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the lamp 10 and achieving a uniform illumination image.

[0056] In this manner, the first forward protrusion 213-1 and the second forward protrusion 213-2 can prevent the first inner lens 210 from deviating from the forward region. The first forward protrusion 213-1 can also be configured to contact the plate 300 at the upper part of the plate 300 and support the first inner lens 210. The second forward protrusion 213-2 can be configured such that its front surface and upper surface are attached to the support member 400 to prevent the first inner lens 210 from moving upward and downward.

[0057] Continue, refer to Figure 3 According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the lamp 10 may further include a reflector 500 disposed above the second inner lens 220. The rear end of the second inner lens 220 can then be inserted into the space defined between the rear end of the reflector 500 and the rear end of the first inner lens 210. Therefore, the second inner lens 220 located above the first inner lens 210 can be fixed without deviation. More preferably, the first inner lens 210 of the present disclosure may include an upward protrusion 14 disposed at the rear end of the first inner lens 210 and protruding upward toward the reflector 500, and the second inner lens 220 may be configured to be attached to the front surface or the upward protrusion 14.

[0058] Furthermore, in the lamp 10 according to this disclosure, the reflector 500 can have various shapes. For example... Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of this disclosure, the reflector 500 can have a planar shape, can be configured to tilt towards the front, and can reflect light output through the upper surface of the second inner lens 220 towards the front. Because when light is reflected towards the front by the reflector 500 configured to tilt towards the front, the same three-dimensional image can be maintained even if the area of ​​the second inner lens 220 is reduced compared to conventional techniques, thus reducing the overall size of the lamp 10. Specifically, when the second inner lens 220 is an expensive cylindrical lens, the size of the cylindrical lens can be reduced, and costs can be lowered. Furthermore, the light output through the cylindrical lens is reflected by the reflector 500, which can further enhance the stereoscopic effect of the 3D lighting image.

[0059] At the same time, Figure 4 In another embodiment of this disclosure, the reflector 500 may have a curved shape, configured such that the concave surface is tilted towards the front, and can reflect light output through the upper surface of the second inner lens 220 towards the front. In this case, the same effect as the planar reflector 500 can be expected, and due to the curved shape, the light-gathering function can be further enhanced, thereby allowing stronger light to be transmitted towards the front.

[0060] Figure 5This is a diagram illustrating an example of a first illumination image formed by light output through the front surface of a second inner lens and a second illumination image formed by light output through a main plane facing the upper side of the second inner lens in a lamp for a vehicle according to the present disclosure.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the lamp according to this disclosure can form a first illumination image I1 and a second illumination image I2. Here, the first illumination image I1 and the second illumination image I2 can have different shapes. More specifically, the first illumination image I1 formed by the lamp according to this disclosure can have a 2D image, while the second illumination image I2 can have a 3D image. In this way, this disclosure can simultaneously realize various illumination images in a single lamp 10, and can achieve differentiation between the lamp 10 and the vehicle design through complex illumination images.

[0062] Additionally, refer to Figure 2 According to this disclosure, the lamp 10 may also include a frame portion 600 facing the front end of the reflector 500, and may also include a housing 700 that houses the light source 100, inner lens 200, support member 400 and reflector 500 and is open at the front, and may further include an outer lens 800 connected to the front side of the housing 700.

[0063] vehicle

[0064] Reference Figure 2 The vehicle according to this disclosure may include a lamp 10 (hereinafter referred to as "lamp") for the vehicle.

[0065] Here, lamp 10 may include a light source 100 that outputs light and an inner lens 200 facing the light source 100. In addition, the inner lens 200 may be arranged in a horizontal direction such that the main plane faces upward and downward, and the light source 100 may face downward of the inner lens 200.

[0066] At the same time, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the light output from the light source 100, the light that is input to the inner lens 200 through the lower side and then output through one side surface of the inner lens 200 forms a first illumination image I1. In the light output from the light source 100, the light that is input to the inner lens 200 through the lower side and then output through the main plane of the inner lens 200 facing upward can form a second illumination image I2. The second illumination image I2 has a shape different from that of the first illumination image I1.

[0067] Furthermore, the lamp 10 according to this disclosure can be a taillight mounted on the rear side of the vehicle. Also, the above description of lamps according to this disclosure can be applied in the same manner to lamps installed in a vehicle.

[0068] According to this disclosure, a vehicle lamp can be provided that can more effectively realize 3D shape lighting images compared to conventional technologies.

[0069] Although this disclosure has been described with reference to limited embodiments and accompanying drawings, it is not limited thereto, and this disclosure may be practiced in various ways by those skilled in the art within the technical spirit and equivalents of the claims.
