Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a lamp body structure, and more particularly to a lamp body structure applicable to vehicle body parts. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, efforts to provide access to sustainable transportation systems that also take into account vulnerable groups such as the elderly, disabled, and children among traffic participants have become increasingly active. To achieve this goal, research and development efforts are focused on further improving traffic safety and convenience through advancements related to enhanced visibility. However, among technologies for improving visibility, the lighting effect and appearance quality of the lamp structures used in vehicle body parts are key issues.

[0003] For example, existing technology (e.g., Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Hei 1-65743) discloses a structure in which a grille made of transparent resin material undergoes a semi-mirror treatment in its light-transmitting area. This structure produces a metallic luster during the day through the semi-mirror treatment of the light-transmitting area, and at night, it illuminates (displays) the desired text or shape by allowing light from a light source to pass through to the area outside the light-blocking area (non-light-transmitting area). However, the metallic luster corresponds to the silver appearance of the semi-mirror treatment and exhibits the same metallic luster (silver) as when chrome-plating body parts such as bumpers and grilles of a vehicle. The aforementioned structure is not suitable when a metallic luster (silver) appearance through the light-transmitting area is not desired, for example, when maintaining an appearance the same as the vehicle body color. Furthermore, although a light-blocking coating is applied within the grille made of transparent resin material to form a light-blocking area (non-light-transmitting area) to illuminate (display) the desired text or shape, the light-blocking coating has a thickness limit, which may result in poor light-blocking properties and blurring of the boundary between the light-transmitting area and the light-blocking area (light leakage). Therefore, it is necessary to improve the lamp body structure applicable to vehicle body parts.

[0004] This invention aims to improve the lighting effect and appearance quality of lamp structures in order to solve the aforementioned problems. Furthermore, it contributes to improving traffic safety and promoting the development of sustainable transportation systems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a lamp body structure that can improve lighting effect and appearance quality.

[0006] This invention provides a lamp body structure suitable for emitting light from the inside to the outside of a vehicle body part, and includes: a housing component adapted to be disposed on the vehicle body part and having a receiving space; a light source disposed within the housing component and emitting illumination light from the inside to the outside; a transparent resin layer having transparency and disposed at a position further outward than the light source; a reflective layer having reflectivity through a semi-mirror treatment and disposed at a position further outward than the transparent resin layer; a coloring layer having color and disposed at a position further outward than the reflective layer; and a non-transmissive component disposed on the outside of the housing component and having a transmissive portion formed by cutting a notch at a location corresponding to the light source for the illumination light to pass through, and the light source being configured such that the emitted illumination light passes through the transmissive portion and the coloring layer as transmitted light to the outside.

[0007] In an embodiment of the present invention, the non-transmissive component and the housing component are interconnected to form a light-shielding wall surrounding the transmissive portion.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present invention, the non-transmissive component and the housing component are interconnected to form a plurality of light-shielding walls, and a plurality of light sources corresponding to the plurality of light-shielding walls are installed inside the housing component. The non-transmissive component forms a plurality of transmissive portions by cutting out the notches, and the plurality of transmissive portions are bonded to the transparent resin layer.

[0009] In an embodiment of the present invention, the edge of the transmissive portion of the non-transmissive component is formed with an inclined portion that is inclined in the irradiation direction.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inclined portion is inclined toward the inner side in the irradiation direction.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inclined portion is inclined toward the outer side in the irradiation direction.

[0012] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inclined portion has an outer inclined portion that is inclined toward the outside in the irradiation direction and an inner inclined portion that is inclined toward the inside in the irradiation direction, and the outer inclined portion and the inner inclined portion are inclined at different angles with the horizontal as a reference.

[0013] In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer side of the transparent resin layer is formed with a concave portion that is recessed from the outer side toward the inner side.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present invention, the housing component has a partition extending from the inner side toward the outer side, and the edge of the transmissive portion of the non-transmissive component is disposed on the side close to the irradiated light through the partition, and a step is formed between the edge and the partition.

[0015] In embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle body parts include exterior components of the vehicle.

[0016] In an embodiment of the invention, the coloring layer has the same color as the vehicle body part or an adjacent article.

[0017] Based on the above, in the lamp body structure of the present invention, a light source disposed within the outer casing emits illumination light from the inside out. A transparent resin layer, a reflective layer with a semi-mirror finish, a colored layer, and a non-transmissive component with a transmissive portion for the illumination light to pass through are sequentially disposed from the inside out. The light source is configured such that the emitted illumination light passes through the transmissive portion and the colored layer to be transmitted to the outside as transmitted light. Thus, with a light source disposed inside the lamp body structure, when the light source is lit, the illumination light from the light source can be colored by the colored layer, thereby giving the transmitted light to the outside the desired color. When the light source is not lit, light from the outside (e.g., natural light) can be reflected outwards through the reflective layer, making it difficult for light from the outside to penetrate into the outer casing, thus making it difficult to see the internal structure of the outer casing from the outside. Accordingly, the lamp body structure of the present invention improves both lighting effect and appearance quality.

[0051] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherein, Figure 1 This is a front view schematic diagram of a vehicle body part with a lamp body structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shown is a cross-section of the lamp body structure after it has been cut at the tangent line I-I'. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A partially enlarged schematic diagram of the lamp body structure is shown. Figure 4 and Figure 5 yes Figure 3 The diagram shown is a partially enlarged view of the lamp body structure in other variations. The following will be accompanied by... Figures 1 to 5 The specific structure of the lamp body structure 100 in this embodiment and other possible modifications are described, but these are only some examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the lamp body structure 100 is adapted to emit light from the inner side S1 to the outer side S2 of the vehicle body part 50, and includes a housing component 110, a light source 120, a transparent resin layer 130, a reflective layer 140, a coloring layer 150, and a non-transmissive component 160. The housing component 110 is adapted to be disposed on the vehicle body part 50 and has a receiving space 112. The light source 120 is disposed within the housing component 110 and emits illumination light L1 from the inner side S1 to the outer side S2. The transparent resin layer 130 is transparent and is disposed at a position further outward S2 than the light source 120. The reflective layer 140 is reflective due to a semi-mirror treatment and is disposed at a position further outward S2 than the transparent resin layer 130. The coloring layer 150 is colored and is disposed at a position further outward S2 than the reflective layer 140. The non-transmissive component 160 is disposed on the outside of the housing component 110 and has a transmissive portion 162 formed by cutting a notch at the location corresponding to the light source 120 for the irradiation light L1 to pass through. The light source 120 is configured such that the irradiation light L1 emitted by it is transmitted to the outside S2 as transmissive light L2 through the transmissive portion 162 and the coloring layer 150.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the vehicle body part 50 refers to a structure mounted on a moving body such as a vehicle 20, and the lamp body structure 100 is provided on the vehicle body part 50 to provide illumination. The outer casing part 110 forms a cover structure that is recessed from the outer side S2 to the inner side S1, and its recessed portion forms a receiving space 112. The light source 120 is, for example, located at the bottom of the outer casing part 110 and inside the receiving space 112, on the inner side S1. In contrast, a transparent resin layer 130, a reflective layer 140 with a semi-mirror finish, and a colored layer 150 are sequentially disposed at a position further outward S2 than the light source 120. Here, the transparent resin layer 130 is disposed within the receiving space 112 corresponding to the light source 120, and the reflective layer 140 and the colored layer 150 are disposed on the surface of the transparent resin layer 130 corresponding to the outer side S2. The semi-mirror-finished reflective layer 140 is reflective of light from the outer side S2 (e.g., natural light), but not reflective of light from the inner side S1 (e.g., illumination light L1). The color of the coloring layer 150 can be adjusted as needed. Furthermore, the non-transparent component 160 is, for example, a frame component with multiple notches, which form transmissive portions 162, and are provided on the housing component 110 with an outer peripheral region 164 surrounding the multiple notches. Thus, the illumination light L1 emitted by the light source 120 illuminates from the inner side S1 to the outer side S2, and is transmitted as transmitted light L2 to the outer side S2 (e.g., through the transparent resin layer 130, reflective layer 140, coloring layer 150, and transmissive portions 162 of the non-transparent component 160). Figure 2 (As indicated by the arrow).

[0054] With the above configuration, in the lamp body structure 100 of this embodiment, the light source 120 disposed within the outer casing 110 emits illumination light L1 from the inner side S1 toward the outer side S2. Sequentially disposed from the inner side S1 toward the outer side S2 are a transparent resin layer 130, a reflective layer 140 with a semi-mirror finish, a colored layer 150, and a non-transmissive component 160 having a transmissive portion 162 through which the illumination light L1 passes. The light source 120 is configured such that the emitted illumination light L1 passes through the transmissive portion 162 and the colored layer 150 and is transmitted to the outer side S2 as transmitted light L2. Thus, with the light source 120 disposed on the inner side S1 of the lamp body structure 100, when the light source 120 is lit, the illumination light L1 of the light source 120 can be colored by the colored layer 150, thereby giving the transmitted light L2 transmitted to the outer side S2 the desired color. When the light source 120 is not lit, light from the outside (e.g., natural light) can be reflected outwards through the reflective layer 140 to the outer side S2, making it difficult for light from the outer side S2 to penetrate into the housing component 110. As a result, the internal structure of the housing component 110 is difficult to see from the outer side S2. Accordingly, the lamp body structure 100 can improve the lighting effect and appearance quality.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the body part 50 includes exterior components of the vehicle 20 (e.g., bumpers, grilles, side steps, etc.), and the coloring layer 150 has the same color as the body part 50 or adjacent items (e.g., body structures such as body panels around the body part 50). As an example, the outer surface of the non-transparent component 160 is also provided with the coloring layer 150. The coloring layer 150 extends continuously on the outer side of the reflective layer 140 and the outer surface of the non-transparent component 160, and the color of the coloring layer 150 corresponds to the appearance color of the body structure. When the lamp structure 100 is applied as an exterior component of the body part 50 (e.g., bumpers, grilles, side steps, etc.), when the light source 120 is lit, the illumination light L1 of the light source 120 can be colored by the coloring layer 150, thereby giving the transmitted light L2 transmitted to the outer side S2 the desired color. When the light source 120 is not lit, light from the outside (e.g., natural light) is reflected outwards through the reflective layer 140 to the outer side S2, making it difficult to penetrate into the housing component 110. Therefore, the internal structure of the housing component 110 is not visible from the outer side S2. Furthermore, when the light source 120 is not lit, the color of the coloring layer 150 is visible from the outer side S2 of the lamp body structure 100. Thus, regardless of whether the light source 120 of the lamp body structure 100 is lit or not, the lamp body structure 100 can have an appearance that is homogenized with the exterior components of the vehicle body part 50 (e.g., the same color as the vehicle body part 50 or adjacent items), thereby increasing the freedom of light source configuration for the lamp body structure 100 of the vehicle 20. Accordingly, the lamp body structure 100 can improve its appearance quality. However, the present invention does not limit the specific structure, type, or color of the coloring layer 150 of the vehicle body part 50; these can be adjusted as needed.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the non-transmissive component 160 and the housing component 110 are interconnected to form a light-shielding wall 170 surrounding the transmissive portion 162. The non-transmissive component 160 is directly disposed on the side wall 114 of the housing component 110 surrounding the receiving space 112, with its peripheral region 164. The non-transmissive component 160 and at least a portion of the housing component 110 are interconnected to form a light-shielding wall 170 that continuously blocks the irradiation light L1. Thus, when the light source 120 is not lit, light from the outside (e.g., natural light) is reflected outwards through the reflective layer 140 to the outside S2 and is difficult to transmit into the light-shielding wall 170, making it difficult to see the structure inside the light-shielding wall 170 from the outside S2. When the light source 120 is lit, the illumination light L1 from the light source 120 can be directed in the illumination direction (i.e., from the inner side S1 to the outer side S2) by the restriction of the light-shielding wall 170. Furthermore, the lamp body structure 100 can prevent the illumination light L1 from exceeding the light-shielding wall 170 and being transmitted to the outer side S2 from other parts (e.g., the transmission part of another structure in a plurality of structures) by the light-shielding wall 170, thereby improving the lighting effect. However, the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the light-shielding wall 170, which can be adjusted according to requirements.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing component 110 has a partition 116 (e.g., formed by the aforementioned sidewall 114) extending from the inner side S1 toward the outer side S2, and the edge 162a of the transmissive portion 162 of the nontransmissive component 160 is disposed on the side near the irradiation light L1 (i.e., extending toward the middle region) through the partition 116, forming a step between the edge 162a and the partition 116. The nontransmissive component 160 is directly disposed on the partition 116 of the housing component 110 by its peripheral region 164, and the width of the peripheral region 164 is greater than the width of the sidewall 114 of the housing component 110. Therefore, at least the inner edge of the peripheral region 164 of the nontransmissive component 160 (corresponding to the edge 162a of the transmissive portion 162) protrudes further toward the middle region of the irradiation light L1 than the partition 116 of the housing component 110. Thus, when the light source 120 is lit, the illumination light L1 from the light source 120 can increase the number of reflections through the step difference between the edge 162a and the partition 116, thereby adjusting the amount of transmitted light L2 (assuming that the amount of transmitted light L2 increases with the increase in the number of reflections). However, the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the housing component 110, which can be adjusted according to requirements.

[0058] As an example, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the housing component 110 has multiple partitions 116 formed by multiple sidewalls 114, thereby forming multiple receiving spaces 112. These multiple receiving spaces 112 may have the same structural configuration, for example, each containing a light source 120, a transparent resin layer 130, a reflective layer 140, and a coloring layer 150 (thus the lamp body structure 100 has multiple combinations of light sources 120, transparent resin layers 130, reflective layers 140, and coloring layers 150; however, in other embodiments not shown, at least one of the receiving spaces 112 may have a different structural configuration). The multiple sets of light sources 120 can be controlled to illuminate separately, for example, by... Figure 2 The first and third groups of the three light sources 120 shown are lit, while the second group of light sources 120 is not lit (dark room). Furthermore, the non-transmissive component 160 can be a single piece having multiple transmissive portions 162 corresponding to the light sources 120 in the multiple receiving spaces 112, and an outer peripheral region 164 surrounding the transmissive portions 162. However, in other embodiments not shown, multiple non-transmissive components 160 with single transmissive portions 162 can be respectively provided on the partition 116. Thus, the lamp body structure 100 can improve the lighting effect. However, in other embodiments not shown, the lamp body structure may also have only one receiving space 112 and only one group of light sources 120, a transparent resin layer 130, a reflective layer 140, a coloring layer 150, and a non-transmissive component 160.

[0059] Therefore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the non-transparent component 160 and the housing component 110 are interconnected to form a plurality of light-shielding walls 170. A plurality of light sources 120 corresponding to the plurality of light-shielding walls 170 are installed inside the housing component 110. The non-transparent component 160 forms a plurality of transmissive portions 162 by cutting notches, and the plurality of transmissive portions 162 are bonded to each other with the transparent resin layer 130. The outer surface 132 of the transparent resin layer 130 has a recessed portion 132a that is recessed from the outer side S2 towards the inner side S1. As an example, the inner end portion 134 of the transparent resin layer 130 is spaced apart from the light source 120, and the outer end portion 136 of the transparent resin layer 130 extends into the transmissive portion 162 of the non-transparent component 160, and the side of the outer end portion 136 abuts against the edge 162a of the transmissive portion 162. Furthermore, a reflective layer 140 and a coloring layer 150 are disposed on the recessed portion 132a of the outer surface 132 of the transparent resin layer 130 corresponding to the outer end portion 136. Thus, the lamp body structure 100 integrates two separate components by bonding the transparent resin layer 130 to the transmissive portion 162 of the non-transmissive component 160, which is formed by cutting a notch. This allows the use of a transparent resin layer 130 of the required size without being limited by the size or thickness of the transmissive portion 162 of the non-transmissive component 160 (i.e., the outer end portion 136 of the transparent resin layer 130 can be recessed inward S1 relative to the transmissive portion 162, or it can protrude outward S2 relative to the transmissive portion 162). Furthermore, by manufacturing and connecting the two separate components into one piece, the transparent resin layer 130 can be configured to correspond to the applied automotive part 60 (e.g., a grille with a concave shape) without being limited by the moldability of the non-transmissive component 160 (i.e., the transparent resin layer 130 of the required shape can be manufactured first before bonding it to the transmissive portion 162 of the non-transmissive component 160). Accordingly, the lamp body structure 100 can improve both the lighting effect and the appearance quality. However, the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the transparent resin layer 130, the non-transparent component 160, etc., which can be adjusted according to requirements.

[0060] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the edge 162a of the transmissive portion 162 of the non-transmissive component 160 has an inclined portion 166 that is inclined in the irradiation direction (i.e., from the inner side S1 to the outer side S2). Thus, the irradiation light L1 emitted by the light source 120 can be reflected to the desired angle by the inclined portion 166 provided on the edge 162a of the transmissive portion 162. As an example, the inclined portion 166 is inclined towards the outer side S2 in the irradiation direction (i.e., from the inner side S1 to the outer side S2). Figure 3The right side of the lamp is tilted. Thus, with the tilted portion 166 tilted towards the outer S2 (away from the light source 120), the irradiated light L1 is difficult to reflect through the tilted portion 166 without being blocked by it. Consequently, the transmitted light L2 transmitted towards the outer S2 diffuses in a fan shape, resulting in blurred transmitted light L2 at opposite ends. The blurred transmitted light L2 has high diffusivity, making it suitable for lamp structures that do not cause glare when viewed directly. In contrast, in... Figure 4 In the modified example shown, the inclined portion 166A of the non-transmissive component 160A faces inward towards S1 in the irradiation direction (i.e., Figure 4 The tilted portion 166A is tilted towards the inner side S1 (facing the light source 120). Thus, when the tilted portion 166A is tilted towards the inner side S1 (facing the light source 120), the irradiated light L1 can be reflected by the tilted portion 166A and concentrated towards the central area, thereby suppressing the diffusion at the opposite ends of the transmitted light L2 transmitted outwards to S2 and obtaining clear transmitted light L2. The clear transmitted light L2 has high visibility and is therefore suitable for lamp structures that illuminate specific areas. However, the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the tilted portions 166A and 166A, or whether they are installed at all; they can be adjusted according to requirements.

[0061] Furthermore, in Figure 5 In the illustrated modified example, the inclined portion 166B of the non-transmissive component 160B has an outer inclined portion 166B1 inclined outwards towards the outer side S2 (e.g., corresponding to the upper side) in the illumination direction, and an inner inclined portion 166B2 inclined inwards towards the inner side S1 (e.g., corresponding to the lower side) in the illumination direction. The outer inclined portion 166B1 and the inner inclined portion 166B2 are inclined at different angles relative to the horizontal. As an example, the angle of inclination of the outer inclined portion 166B1 relative to the horizontal is greater than the angle of inclination of the inner inclined portion 166B2 relative to the horizontal. Thus, when the inclined portion 166B has both an outer inclined portion 166B1 and an inner inclined portion 166B2, the transmitted light L2 near the outer inclined portion 166B1 with the larger angle of inclination is diffused, resulting in blurred light, while the transmitted light L2 near the inner inclined portion 166B2 with the smaller angle of inclination does not diffuse, resulting in clear light. When the transmitted light L2 illuminates a person in front of the vehicle, or when the person is far away, the transmitted light L2 is concentrated within the set tilt angle, thus improving visibility and sight with clear transmitted light L2. When the person's head is close to a distance outside the set tilt angle, the transmitted light L2 is blurred with a wide light attenuation range to prevent the transmitted light L2 from dazzling the eyes. Although the tilt angle is set with the up-down direction as the illumination direction, in embodiments not shown, the tilt angle can also be set with the left-right direction, or a combination of the up-down and left-right directions. However, the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the tilting part 166B, or whether it is provided or not, and it can be adjusted according to needs.

[0062] In summary, in the lamp body structure of the present invention, a light source disposed within the outer casing emits illumination light from the inside out. A transparent resin layer, a reflective layer with a semi-mirror finish, a colored layer, and a non-transmissive component having a transmissive portion for the illumination light to pass through are sequentially disposed from the inside out. The light source is configured such that the emitted illumination light passes through the transmissive portion and the colored layer to be transmitted to the outside as transmitted light. Thus, with a light source disposed inside the lamp body structure, when the light source is lit, the illumination light from the light source can be colored by the colored layer, thereby giving the transmitted light to the outside the desired color. When the light source is not lit, light from the outside (e.g., natural light) can be reflected outwards through the reflective layer, making it difficult for the light from the outside to penetrate into the outer casing, thus making it difficult to see the internal structure of the outer casing from the outside. Furthermore, the non-transmissive component and the outer casing are interconnected to form a light-shielding wall surrounding the transmissive portion, thereby improving the light-shielding effect. Since the body parts, including the exterior parts of the vehicle, have the same color as the body parts or adjacent articles, the colored layer improves the appearance. Accordingly, the lamp body structure of the present invention can improve the lighting effect and appearance quality.
