[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-149284 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0007] However, sometimes a reflective surface for an overhead sign (OHS) is attached to the front end of the main reflector (hereinafter simply referred to as the reflector). In this case, generally, the reflective surface for the OHS is formed on the inner surface of this part by aluminum vapor deposition, high-reflectivity coating, etc., and the resin is exposed on the outer surface and end face of this part. Here, as a heat countermeasure, consider the following situation: when an opening is formed between the front end of the reflector and the frame holding the lens, sunlight is focused through the opening onto the outer surface and end face of this part, and the temperature of this part increases.

[0008] The present invention was made to solve such a problem, and its purpose is to prevent sunlight entering the lamp through the lens from being focused by an opening in front of the part provided between the front end of the reflector and the frame holding the lens.

[0009] Solution for solving the problem

[0010] The present invention comprises: a light-emitting part; a lens that projects light emitted from the light-emitting part; a reflector having a first reflective surface that reflects light emitted from the light-emitting part to the lens; a frame that holds the lens; an opening disposed between the front end of the reflector and the frame; and a second reflective surface disposed between the front end of the reflector and the frame that reflects external light incident into the lamp through the lens.

[0011] The effects of the invention are as follows.

[0012] According to the present invention, external light entering the lamp through the lens is reflected by a second reflecting surface between the front end of the reflector and the frame holding the lens. Therefore, with respect to the portion provided between the front end of the reflector and the frame holding the lens, it is possible to prevent sunlight entering the lamp through the lens from being concentrated through the opening in front of that portion.

[0021] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described according to preferred embodiments. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown below, and appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Also, in the embodiments shown below, some parts of the structure are omitted from the illustrations and descriptions; however, regarding the omitted technical details, it is self-evident that well-known or publicly known techniques are appropriately applied to the extent that they do not contradict the following description.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a front view showing one embodiment of a vehicle lamp. Figure 2 This is a top view showing one embodiment of a vehicle lamp. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 AA sectional view. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The above figure shows a BB sectional view. The vehicle lamp 10 shown in the figure is a headlight of the vehicle, illuminating the front of the vehicle. In addition, the terms "front" and "rear" used in the description of direction and position are based on the front-rear direction of the vehicle on which the vehicle lamp 10 is mounted; the terms "up", "down", and "longitudinal" used in the description of direction and position are based on the vertical direction of the vehicle on which the vehicle lamp 10 is mounted; and the terms "left", "right", and "lateral" used in the description of direction and position are based on the width direction (left-right direction) of the vehicle on which the vehicle lamp 10 is mounted.

[0023] The vehicle lamp 10 includes a base 12 and a radiator 14 (see reference). Figure 1 ), Light-emitting part 16 (refer to) Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), Lens 18, Frame 20, Reflector 30 (refer to) Figures 2-4 ), and lampshade unit 40 (refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the vehicle lamp 10, the frame 20 and the reflector 30 are integrally formed, and the reflector 30 and the base portion 12 are fastened together by threaded fasteners.

[0024] Heat sink 14 has multiple heat sinks 14A (see reference) Figure 1 The aforementioned multiple heat sinks 14 are integrally formed on the lower surface of the base portion 12.

[0025] The light-emitting part 16 includes a light-emitting diode, a substrate, and a power supply bracket, and is mounted on the upper surface 12A of the base part 12 (see reference). Figure 3 and Figure 4 A heat sink 14A is provided on the back side of the upper surface 12A of the base portion 12, and the heat generated by the light-emitting portion 16 is released to the outside by the heat sink 14.

[0026] The lens 18 is disposed at the front end of the vehicle lamp 10 and projects the light emitted from the light-emitting part 16 onto the front of the vehicle. The lens 18 is held by the frame 20. The frame 20 has an annular lens bracket 20A disposed on the front side of the vehicle lamp 10 for mounting the lens 18.

[0027] The reflector 30 is formed into a three-dimensional freeform surface shape based on an ellipse, and is designated as the upper surface 12A covering the light-emitting part 16 and the base part 12. A first reflective surface 30A is formed on the inner surface of the reflector 30 by means of aluminum vapor deposition, high-reflectivity coating, etc. (see reference). Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the reflector 30 can also be formed into a three-dimensional freeform surface shape that combines ellipses and parabolas.

[0028] Here, the vehicle lamp 10 has a resin molded article 11 formed by integrating the frame 20 and the reflector 30, and a reflective surface is formed on a predetermined range of the inner surface of the resin molded article 11 by means of aluminum vapor deposition, high reflectivity coating, etc.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lampshade unit 40 switches the light distribution pattern projected onto the front of the vehicle through the lens 18 into a low beam light distribution pattern or a high beam light distribution pattern. The lampshade unit 40 includes a lampshade 42, a solenoid 44, and a linkage mechanism 46. The lampshade 42 is a light-shielding plate disposed between the light-emitting part 16 and the lens 18. The lampshade 42 can be in an upright position with one side facing forward and slightly upward, or in a stored position with one side facing directly upward. The solenoid 44 drives the linkage mechanism 46. The linkage mechanism 46, driven by the solenoid 44, causes the lampshade 42 to change between an upright position and a tilted position.

[0030] When the lamp cover 42 is in an upright position, a portion of the light emitted from the light-emitting part 16 and reflected forward by the first reflective surface 30A of the reflector 30 is blocked by the lamp cover 42, thereby projecting a low beam light distribution pattern including a cutoff line in front of the vehicle. In contrast, when the lamp cover 42 is in a stored position, the light emitted from the light-emitting part 16 and reflected forward by the first reflective surface 30A of the reflector 30 is not blocked by the lamp cover 42, thereby projecting a high beam light distribution pattern in front of the vehicle.

[0031] Here, the vehicle lamp 10 of this embodiment includes a first OHS reflective surface 31A and a second OHS reflective surface 42A. When projecting a low beam light distribution pattern, the OHS light distribution pattern is projected on the upper side of the low beam light distribution pattern.

[0032] The second OHS reflective surface 42A is formed on one side of the lampshade 42. This side is the surface that faces forward and slightly upward when the lampshade 42 is in an upright position. Furthermore, examples of the second OHS reflective surface 42A include a metal substrate, aluminum vapor-deposited on a metal substrate, and a high-reflectivity coating surface coated on a metal substrate.

[0033] A resin-made OHS reflector 31 is integrally formed on the front end of the reflector 30. This OHS reflector 31 extends obliquely downwards and forwards from the front end of the reflector 30 and has an inner surface that faces obliquely downwards and backwards. A first OHS reflective surface 31A is formed on the inner surface of the OHS reflector 31 by aluminum vapor deposition, high-reflectivity coating, or the like. The front end of the OHS reflector 31 is located on the front side and below the front end of the reflector 30.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown by the dashed arrow L, when projecting the near beam light distribution pattern, a portion of the light emitted from the light-emitting part 16 is reflected by the first OHS reflective surface 31A toward the second OHS reflective surface 42A, and then reflected by the second OHS reflective surface 42A toward the lens 18, thereby being projected from the lens 18 as the OHS light distribution pattern.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, openings 11B, 11C, and 11D are formed in the resin molded article 11. The openings 11B, 11C, and 11D are arranged laterally between the light-shielding part 50 and the lens bracket 20A. When the light-emitting part 16 heats up, the heat flow from the light-emitting part 16 is released to the outside of the lamp through the openings 11B, 11C, and 11D.

[0036] However, sunlight is focused within the vehicle lamp 10 through lens 18. In particular, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As indicated by the thick arrow SL, a portion of the sunlight entering the vehicle lamp 10 through the lens 18 propagates through the opening 11C toward the non-reflective surface, i.e., the outer surface and end face, of the OHS reflector 31A. Here, resin is exposed on the outer surface and end face of the OHS reflector 31A. In contrast, a light-shielding portion 50 is integrally formed at the front end of the OHS reflector 31. This light-shielding portion 50 is a V-shaped bend when viewed laterally, and has a pair of downward-facing bevels. A second reflective surface 50A is formed on the pair of bevels constituting the V-shaped bend of the light-shielding portion 50 through aluminum vapor deposition, high-reflectivity coating, or the like. The light-shielding portion 50 is located forward and downward from the front end of the OHS reflector 31.

[0037] A portion of the sunlight entering the vehicle lamp 10 through lens 18 propagates towards the OHS reflector 31A through opening 11C and is reflected by the second reflective surface 50A near the OHS reflector 31A. This prevents sunlight from concentrating on the outer surface and end face of the OHS reflector 31A. Furthermore, the sunlight entering the vehicle lamp 10 through lens 18 only illuminates the second reflective surface 50A of the light-shielding portion 50, and does not illuminate the substrate of the light-shielding portion 50.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, a pair of ribs 11E are formed on the upper surface of the resin molded article 11, arranged parallel to each other and side by side. One rib 11E is disposed between the opening 11B and the opening 11C, and the other rib 11E is disposed between the opening 11C and the opening 11D.

[0039] Here, the light-shielding portion 50 includes a pair of first light-shielding portions 50B formed at both ends in the left-right direction (see reference). Figure 2 and Figure 4 ) and a second light-shielding portion 50C formed in the center of the left-right direction of the light-shielding portion 50 (refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first light-shielding portion 50B is integrally formed with the rib 11E, and the second light-shielding portion 50C is integrally formed with the first light-shielding portion 50B. The second light-shielding portion 50C extends in the left-right direction between the pair of first light-shielding portions 50B.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the width (length from rear to front) W1 of the first light-shielding portion 50B is different from the width (length from rear to front) W2 of the second light-shielding portion 50C. Here, when a portion of the sunlight entering the vehicle lamp 10 travels towards the rib 11E through the opening 11C, the case where sunlight is concentrated on the rib 11E according to the size of the width W1 of the first light-shielding portion 50B is also considered. However, in this embodiment, the width W1 of the first light-shielding portion 50B is wider than the width W2 of the second light-shielding portion 50C, and the sunlight traveling towards the rib 11E through the opening 11C is reflected by the second reflective surface 50A of the first light-shielding portion 50B.

[0041] As described above, in the vehicle lamp 10 of this embodiment, openings 11B, 11C, and 11D are provided between the frame 20 and the reflector 30, thereby allowing heat flow from the heated light-emitting part 16 to be released outside the vehicle lamp 10 through the openings 11B, 11C, and 11D. On the other hand, a portion of the sunlight entering the vehicle lamp 10 through the lens 18 propagates towards the outer surface of the OHS reflector 31 through the opening 11C. Therefore, in the vehicle lamp 10 of this embodiment, a second reflective surface 50A is provided between the front end of the OHS reflector 31 and the lens support 20A, and this second reflective surface 50A reflects the sunlight that propagates towards the outer surface of the OHS reflector 31 through the lens 18 and the opening 11C. As a result, relative to the resin-exposed outer surface of the OHS reflector 31, it is possible to prevent sunlight entering the vehicle lamp 10 through the lens 18 from being concentrated through the opening 11C located in front of that area.

[0042] Furthermore, in the vehicle lamp 10 of this embodiment, a second reflective surface 50A is provided in the light-shielding portion 50, which is located between the first OHS reflective surface 31A and the lens bracket 20A. Here, the second reflective surface 50A is formed on the inner surface of the upper housing 11A, and the first reflective surface 30A of the reflector 30, the first OHS reflective surface 31A of the OHS reflector 31, and the second reflective surface 50A are continuously formed on the inner surface of the upper housing 11A. Therefore, the second reflective surface 50A can be formed simultaneously with the first reflective surface 30A and the first OHS reflective surface 31A. As a result, for example, it is not necessary to perform additional reflective surface forming processes such as forming reflective surfaces on the outer surface and end face of the OHS reflector 31, thereby reducing labor time and costs.

[0043] Furthermore, in the vehicle lamp 10 of this embodiment, the light-shielding portion 50, on which the second reflective surface 50A is formed, is integrally formed with the front end of the OHS reflector 31, and the light-shielding portion 50 is bent in a V-shape. Moreover, the second reflective surface 50A is formed on a pair of downward-facing inclined surfaces of the V-shaped light-shielding portion 50. Since the light-shielding portion 50 has a pair of downward-facing inclined surfaces, the surface on which the second reflective surface 50A is formed becomes the inner surface of the resin molded article 11. Therefore, as described above, the second reflective surface 50A can be formed simultaneously with the first reflective surface 30A of the reflector 30 and the first OHS reflective surface 31A of the OHS reflector 31. Furthermore, the light-shielding portion 50 located in front of the OHS reflector 31 is V-shaped, so the light-shielding portion 50 does not block the emitted light for OHS, thus achieving an effect in sunlight countermeasures.

[0044] Furthermore, in the vehicle lamp 10 of this embodiment, a rib 11E is integrally formed on the outer surface of the light-shielding portion 50, which serves as a non-reflective surface. The light-shielding portion 50 located near the rib 11E includes a first light-shielding portion 50B integrally formed with the rib 11E, and a second light-shielding portion 50C integrally formed with the first light-shielding portion 50B and separate from the rib 11E. Here, the length W1 of the first light-shielding portion 50B from rear to front is longer than the length W2 of the second light-shielding portion 50C from rear to front. Therefore, sunlight passing through the lens 18 and the opening 11C toward the rib 11E is reflected by the second reflective surface 50A of the first light-shielding portion 50B. Thus, it is possible to prevent sunlight from concentrating on the resin-exposed rib 11E.

[0045] Furthermore, in the vehicle lamp 10 of this embodiment, a portion of the sunlight entering the vehicle lamp 10 through the lens 18 only illuminates the second reflective surface 50A of the light-shielding part 50, and does not illuminate the substrate of the light-shielding part 50. Therefore, it is possible to prevent sunlight from concentrating on the exposed resin portion of the light-shielding part 50.

[0046] Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view showing a vehicle lamp 100 according to another embodiment. Furthermore, structures identical to those in the embodiments described above are labeled with the same reference numerals, and descriptions from the above embodiments are cited. Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle lamp 100 of this embodiment includes a light-shielding portion 150 integrally formed with the lens bracket 20A, and an OHS reflector 131 integrally formed with the light-shielding portion 150.

[0047] Opening 11C and openings 11B and 11D (not shown) (see reference) Figure 2 A heat source is formed between the front end of the reflector 30 and the rear end of the OHS reflector 131. When the light-emitting part 16 heats up, the heat flow from the light-emitting part 16 is released to the outside of the vehicle lamp 100 through the openings 11B, 11C, and 11D.

[0048] The light-shielding portion 150 extends obliquely downward and rearward from the rear end of the lens holder 20A and has an inner surface that faces obliquely downward and forward. A second reflective surface 150A is formed on the inner surface of the light-shielding portion 150 by means of aluminum vapor deposition, high-reflectivity coating, etc. The rear end of the light-shielding portion 150 is positioned forward and downward than the front end of the reflector 30.

[0049] The OHS reflector 131 extends obliquely upward and backward from the rear end of the light-shielding portion 150 and has an inner surface facing obliquely downward and backward. A first OHS reflective surface 131A is formed on the inner surface of the OHS reflector 131 by means of aluminum vapor deposition, high-reflectivity coating, etc.

[0050] Figure 6 It is shown in magnification Figure 5 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of a portion of the vehicle lighting fixture 100. As shown in the figure, the rear end E of the OHS reflector 131 is positioned forward and upward from the front end F of the reflector 30. The angle α between the first OHS reflector 131A and the horizontal line HL, which is parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal direction, satisfies the following equation (1).

[0051] 0 < α < 90°…(1)

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown by the dashed arrow L, when projecting the near beam light distribution pattern, a portion of the light emitted from the light-emitting part 16 is reflected by the first OHS reflective surface 131A toward the second OHS reflective surface 42A, and then reflected by the second OHS reflective surface 42A toward the lens 18, thereby being projected from the lens 18 as the OHS light distribution pattern.

[0053] like Figure 5 As indicated by the thick arrow SL, a portion of the sunlight entering the vehicle lamp 10 through the lens 18 propagates towards the outer surface of the OHS reflector 131A, which is a non-reflective surface, and is reflected near this outer surface by the second reflective surface 150A. This prevents sunlight from concentrating on the outer surface of the OHS reflector 131A. Furthermore, sunlight only illuminates the second reflective surface 150A of the light-shielding portion 150, and does not illuminate the substrate of the light-shielding portion 150.

[0054] Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view showing a vehicle lamp 200 according to another embodiment. Furthermore, structures identical to those in the embodiments described above are labeled with the same reference numerals, and descriptions from the above embodiments are cited. Figure 7 As shown, the vehicle lamp 200 of this embodiment includes an OHS reflector 231 integrally formed with the front end of the reflector 30 and a light-shielding portion 250 integrally formed with the rear end of the lens bracket 20A.

[0055] Opening 11C and openings 11B and 11D (not shown) (see reference) Figure 2 A light-emitting part 16 is formed between the front end of the reflector 231 for OHS and the rear end of the light-shielding part 250. When the light-emitting part 16 heats up, the heat flow from the light-emitting part 16 is released to the outside of the lamp through the openings 11B, 11C, and 11D.

[0056] The light-shielding portion 250 extends obliquely downward and rearward from the rear end of the lens holder 20A and has an inner surface facing obliquely downward and forward. A second reflective surface 250A is formed on the inner surface of the light-shielding portion 250 by means of aluminum vapor deposition, high-reflectivity coating, etc. The rear end of the light-shielding portion 250 is positioned forward and downward than the front end of the reflector 30.

[0057] The OHS reflector 231 includes a longitudinal plate portion 231B extending upward from the front end of the reflector 30 and an inclined plate portion 231C extending obliquely downward from the upper end of the longitudinal plate portion 231B. The OHS reflector 231 is shaped like an inverted V when viewed laterally. The inclined plate portion 231C has an inner surface facing obliquely downward. A first OHS reflective surface 231A is formed on the inner surface of the inclined plate portion 231C by aluminum vapor deposition, high-reflectivity coating, or the like.

[0058] Figure 8 It is shown in magnification Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the vehicle lighting fixture 200. As shown in the figure, the front end portion F of the inclined plate portion 231C is positioned above the forward extension line EL of the inner surface of the reflector 30. The rear end portion E of the light-shielding portion 250 is positioned forward and downward from the front end portion F of the inclined plate portion 231C.

[0059] like Figure 7 As shown by the dashed arrow L, when projecting the near beam light distribution pattern, a portion of the light emitted from the light-emitting part 16 is reflected by the first OHS reflective surface 231A toward the second OHS reflective surface 42A, and then reflected by the second OHS reflective surface 42A toward the lens 18, thereby being projected from the lens 18 as the OHS light distribution pattern.

[0060] like Figure 7 As indicated by the thick arrow SL, a portion of the sunlight entering the vehicle lamp 10 through the lens 18 propagates towards the outer surface of the OHS reflector 231, which is a non-reflective surface, and is reflected near this outer surface by the second reflective surface 250A. This prevents sunlight from concentrating on the outer surface of the OHS reflector 231A. Furthermore, sunlight only illuminates the second reflective surface 250A of the light-shielding portion 250, and does not illuminate the substrate of the light-shielding portion 250.

[0061] The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and technologies, known and familiar technologies of each embodiment can be combined.

[0062] For example, in the above embodiment, the portion between the front end of the reflector 30 and the lens holder 20A is designated as an OHS reflector plate 31, 131, 231, but this portion can also be designated as another portion constituting the resin molded article 11. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the reflector 30 and the lens holder 20A are integrally molded, but it is also possible to mold the reflector 30 and the lens holder 20A separately and then integrally mold them.

[0063] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, Hi / Lo switching vehicle lamps 10, 100, and 200 were described as examples, but the present invention can also be applied to vehicle lamps dedicated to low beams.
