Display / luminaire

Abstract

To improve visibility of a display part.SOLUTION: In a display / luminaire 10, display light BM1 emitted from a display light source 51 enters a display light guide passage 35, and irradiates an indicator part 36 of the display light guide passage 35. Also, illumination light BM2 emitted from an illumination light source 52 enters an illumination light guide passage 34, and is emitted to the outside of a case 20 from an illumination side emission part 34A of the illumination light guide passage 34. Furthermore, in a view from the third direction, the illumination light BM2 is emitted to one side in the second direction from the illumination side emission part 34A, and the indicator part 36 is irradiated by the display light BM1 going toward the other side in the second direction. That is, the emission direction of the illumination light BM2 emitted from the case 20 is on the opposite side from the irradiation direction of the display light BM1 irradiating the indicator part 36. Thereby, the indicator part 36 being irradiated by the illumination light BM2 can be suppressed. Therefore, visibility of the indicator part 36 can be improved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

[Figure 4] FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the display and illumination device shown in FIG. 3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] A display and illumination device 10 according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the display and illumination device 10 is applied to an energy receiving unit 70 of a vehicle (automobile). Note that the arrow UP in FIG. 1 indicates the upper side of the vehicle, and the arrow FR indicates the front side of the vehicle. The energy receiving unit 70 is provided on the side of the rear of the vehicle (the right side in the example shown in FIG. 1). The energy receiving unit 70 has a base 71, which is exposed outward in the vehicle width direction from a panel opening 80 (broadly understood as an element that can be understood as a vehicle-side opening) formed in an outer panel of the vehicle. A charging inlet 72 serving as a receiving unit is provided in the approximate center of the base 71, and the charging inlet 72 has a connector portion 72A to which a connector (not shown) of a charger is connected. An arrangement hole 71A for arranging the display and illumination device 10 (described later) is formed in the base 71, and the arrangement hole 71A is arranged on the front side and upper side of the vehicle relative to the connector portion 72A. The energy receiving unit 70 has a lid (not shown), and the panel opening 80 is opened and closed by the lid.

[0010] (Regarding the display and lighting device 10) The display and illumination device 10 is attached to a base 71 of the energy receiving unit 70. A portion of the display and illumination device 10 is exposed outward in the vehicle width direction through the mounting hole 71A, and illuminates a connector portion 72A of the charging inlet 72. The display and illumination device 10 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. The directions of arrows A and B shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 are defined as first directions, and the first direction coincides with the vehicle width direction. The directions of arrows C and D shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 are defined as second directions, and the directions of arrows E and F are defined as a predetermined third direction. In the following description, the direction of arrow A is defined as one side of the first direction, the direction of arrow C is defined as one side of the second direction, and the direction of arrow E is defined as one side of the third direction.

[0011] The display and illumination device 10 includes a case 20 , a substrate 50 , and a light guide lens 60 .

[0012] (About Case 20) The case 20 forms the outer shell of the display and illumination device 10. The case 20 is made of a resin material or the like that is not transparent to light. The case 20 is configured to include a case main body 30 that forms one side portion of the case 20 in the first direction, and a case cover 40 that forms the other side portion of the case 20 in the first direction.

[0013] The case body 30 has a case mating portion 31, which is formed in a generally rectangular box shape with a bottom and a longitudinal direction in the third direction and which is open to the other side in the first direction. A flange portion 31A is formed on the outer periphery of one end of the case mating portion 31 in the first direction, and the flange portion 31A is formed around the entire circumferential circumference of the case mating portion 31.

[0014] A light guide tube 32 is provided in the approximate center of the bottom wall of the case fitting portion 31. The light guide tube 32 is formed in a generally rectangular cylindrical shape with its longitudinal direction in the third direction and open toward the other side in the first direction, and protrudes from the bottom wall of the case fitting portion 31 toward one side in the first direction (see FIG. 2). The other end of the light guide tube 32 in the first direction protrudes slightly from the bottom wall of the case fitting portion 31 toward the other side in the first direction. A partition plate 33 is provided inside the light guide tube 32. The partition plate 33 is formed in a generally rectangular plate shape with its plate thickness direction in the second direction, and the interior of the light guide tube 32 is divided in the second direction by the partition plate 33. The one side portion of the light guide tube 32 in the second direction serves as an illumination light guide path 34, and the other side portion of the light guide tube 32 in the second direction serves as a display light guide path 35. As a result, the illumination light guide 34 and the display light guide 35 are separated by the partition plate 33 .

[0015] The wall portion constituting the bottom wall of the display light guide 35 in the light guide tube portion 32 is an inclined wall 35A, which, as viewed from the third direction, is inclined toward one side in the second direction as it approaches one side in the first direction. A display-side light output portion 35B is formed through the inclined wall 35A, and the display-side light output portion 35B opens outward in the thickness direction of the inclined wall 35A. In other words, as viewed from the third direction, the display-side light output portion 35B is inclined toward one side in the second direction as it approaches one side in the first direction. The display-side light output portion 35B is formed in the shape of a substantially rectangular hole with the third direction as its longitudinal direction.

[0016] An indicator unit 36 ​​serving as a display unit is provided inside the display-side light-emitting unit 35B. The indicator unit 36 ​​is formed in a generally rectangular plate shape with the third direction as its longitudinal direction, and the thickness direction of the indicator unit 36 ​​coincides with the thickness direction of the inclined wall 35A. That is, when viewed from the third direction, the indicator unit 36 ​​is inclined toward one side in the second direction as it extends toward one side in the first direction. The indicator unit 36 ​​is made of a light-transmitting resin material or the like, and is formed integrally with the case body 30.

[0017] An illumination-side light-emitting portion 34A (see FIG. 2) is formed penetrating in the second direction at the end portion on one side in the first direction of the side wall of the light-guiding tube portion 32 that constitutes the illumination light guide path 34. The illumination-side light-emitting portion 34A is formed in a substantially rectangular hole shape with the third direction as its longitudinal direction, and opens to the opposite side (one side in the second direction) from the display-side light-emitting portion 35B. Furthermore, when viewed from the third direction, the display-side light-emitting portion 35B (indicator portion 36) and the illumination-side light-emitting portion 34A are arranged at positions where they overlap in the first direction. In other words, when viewed from the second direction, the display-side light-emitting portion 35B (indicator portion 36) and the illumination-side light-emitting portion 34A overlap. Furthermore, the one end in the first direction of the illumination-side light-emitting portion 34A and the one end in the first direction of the display-side light-emitting portion 35B are formed at the same position in the first direction, and the other end in the first direction of the display-side light-emitting portion 35B is formed to extend further to the other side in the first direction than the other end in the first direction of the illumination-side light-emitting portion 34A. In other words, the display-side light-emitting portion 35B is formed wider in the first direction than the illumination-side light-emitting portion 34A.

[0018] The light-emitting section 37 is provided inside the illumination-side light-emitting section 34A. The light-emitting section 37 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with the second direction as its plate thickness direction and the third direction as its longitudinal direction. The light-emitting section 37 is made of a light-transmitting resin material or the like, and is formed integrally with the case main body 30.

[0019] The case cover 40 is formed in a generally rectangular box shape that is open toward one side in the first direction. The case mating portion 31 of the case main body 30 is fitted into the open end of the case cover 40, and the case cover 40 is assembled to the case main body 30. When the case cover 40 is assembled to the case main body 30, the open end face of the case cover 40 abuts against the flange portion 31A of the case main body 30. The space inside the case cover 40 on the other side in the first direction from the case mating portion 31 serves as a board accommodating portion 40A (see FIG. 2) for accommodating a board 50 (described later). A case connector portion 41 is formed on the bottom wall of the case cover 40. The case connector portion 41 is formed in a generally rectangular cylindrical shape with its axial direction in the first direction and protrudes from the bottom wall of the case cover 40 toward the other side in the first direction. The interior of the case connector portion 41 penetrates in the first direction.

[0020] The case cover 40 is provided with a pair of mounting pieces 42. The mounting pieces 42 are formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with the thickness direction in the first direction and extend outward in the third direction from the outer periphery of the case cover 40. The mounting pieces 42 are fastened to a base 71 of the energy receiving unit 70 with screws, thereby assembling the case 20 to the base 71. When the case 20 is assembled to the base 71, the light guide tube portion 32 is inserted into the arrangement hole 71A of the base 71 from the other side in the first direction and protrudes from the base 71 to one side in the first direction. As a result, the tip end portion of the light guide tube portion 32 (the indicator portion 36 and the light emitter 37) is exposed from the base 71 to the outside in the vehicle width direction (one side in the first direction). Furthermore, a connector portion 72A of the charging inlet 72 is disposed on one side in the second direction of the light guide tube portion 32 (see FIG. 1). That is, the illumination-side light output portion 34A is open toward the connector portion 72A.

[0021] (Regarding the substrate 50) The substrate 50 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with the first direction as its plate thickness direction and the third direction as its longitudinal direction, and is housed in the substrate housing portion 40A. Specifically, the substrate 50 is disposed adjacent to the other side of the case fitting portion 31 of the case main body 30 in the first direction, and is fixed to the case 20 at a position not shown. As a result, the substrate 50 separates the display light guide path 35 and the illumination light guide path 34 from the substrate housing portion 40A. The partition plate 33 described above is disposed on one side of the substrate 50 in the first direction with a predetermined gap therebetween.

[0022] A plurality of display light sources 51 (four in this embodiment) are provided on one side surface (one side surface in the first direction) of the substrate 50. The display light sources 51 are arranged on the other side in the first direction of the display light guide 35. The four display light sources 51 are arranged in two rows in the third direction, with a pair of display light sources 51 arranged in the second direction as one row. The display light sources 51 emit emitted light (hereinafter referred to as display light BM1) to one side in the first direction (the display light guide 35 side) (see FIG. 2).

[0023] An illumination light source 52 is provided on one side of the substrate 50. The illumination light source 52 is disposed on the other side in the first direction of the illumination light guide 34. The illumination light source 52 emits emitted light (hereinafter referred to as illumination light BM2) to one side in the first direction (the illumination light guide 34 side) (see FIG. 2).

[0024] One end of a plurality of connector terminals 53 is provided on the other side surface of the substrate 50, and the other end of the connector terminals 53 is disposed inside the case connector portion 41. A harness connector (not shown) of the vehicle is connected to the case connector portion 41, and the display light source 51 and the illumination light source 52 are electrically connected to a control portion of the vehicle. The control portion controls the light emission of the display light source 51 and the illumination light source 52.

[0025] (Regarding the light guide lens 60) The light guide lens 60 includes a display light guide lens 62 serving as a display light guide section, and an illumination light guide lens 64 serving as an illumination light guide section. The display light guide lens 62 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with its plate thickness direction in the second direction. The display light guide lens 62 is housed in the display light guide path 35 of the case 20. The display light guide lens 62 is disposed adjacent to one side of the display light source 51 in the first direction. The display light guide lens 62 is made of a resin material or the like that is transmissive to the display light BM1, and transmits the display light BM1 emitted from the display light source 51 and guides it to the indicator section 36.

[0026] One end surface of the display light-guiding lens 62 is a display-side lens inclined surface 62A, which faces the indicator unit 36 ​​in the thickness direction of the indicator unit 36. That is, when viewed from the third direction, the display-side lens inclined surface 62A inclines toward one side in the second direction as it approaches one side in the first direction, and is disposed parallel to the indicator unit 36. As a result, the traveling direction of the display light BM1 is changed toward the indicator unit 36 ​​by the display-side lens inclined surface 62A, and the indicator unit 36 ​​is illuminated by the display light BM1 emitted from the display-side lens inclined surface 62A (see FIG. 2). Then, the display light BM1 that illuminates the indicator unit 36 ​​is emitted from the indicator unit 36 ​​to the outside in the thickness direction of the indicator unit 36.

[0027] In this embodiment, when viewed from the third direction, the angle AG1 (see FIG. 2) between the optical axis of the display light BM1 irradiating the display-side light-emitting portion 35B (indicator portion 36) and the imaginary line extending along the first direction is set to approximately 50 degrees. The angle AG1 may be set to be 10 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less by changing the inclination angle and inclination direction of the display-side lens inclined surface 62A. That is, the inclination angle and the like of the display-side lens inclined surface 62A are set so that the display light BM1 emitted from one end surface of the display light-guiding lens 62 and irradiating the indicator portion 36 does not head toward one side in the second direction. Thus, the "display light BM1 heading toward the other side in the second direction" in the present invention also includes the display light BM1 irradiating the indicator portion 36 in a direction that inclines toward the other side in the second direction as it heads toward one side in the first direction.

[0028] Furthermore, when the angle AG1 is changed between 10 degrees and 90 degrees, the inclination angle of the indicator unit 36 ​​and the display side light output unit 35B when viewed from the third direction may be changed so that the thickness direction of the indicator unit 36 ​​coincides with the irradiation direction of the display light BM1.

[0029] The illumination light-guiding lens 64 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with its thickness direction in the second direction. The illumination light-guiding lens 64 is housed in the illumination light-guiding path 34 of the case 20. The illumination light-guiding lens 64 is disposed close to one side of the illumination light source 52 in the first direction. The illumination light-guiding lens 64 is made of a resin material or the like that can transmit the illumination light BM2. The illumination light-guiding lens 64 transmits the illumination light BM2 emitted from the illumination light source 52 and guides it to the light-emitting unit 37.

[0030] One end surface of the illumination light-guiding lens 64 is an illumination-side lens inclined surface 64A, which is inclined toward one side in the second direction as it approaches one side in the first direction, as viewed from the third direction. As a result, the traveling direction of the illumination light BM2 passing through the illumination light-guiding lens 64 is changed by the illumination-side lens inclined surface 64A toward the light-emitting unit 37 (one side in the second direction). The illumination light BM2 is emitted from one end of the illumination light-guiding lens 64 toward one side in the second direction (the light-emitting unit 37 side) and illuminates the light-emitting unit 37 (see FIG. 2). That is, as viewed from the third direction, an angle AG2 (see FIG. 2) between the optical axis of the illumination light BM2 irradiating the light-emitting unit 37 from one end of the illumination light-guiding lens 64 and the imaginary line extending in the first direction is set to 90 degrees.

[0031] The inclination angle, inclination direction, etc. of the illumination-side lens inclined surface 64A may be changed to set the angle AG2 to be 10 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less. Preferably, when viewed from the third direction, the angle between the optical axis of the display light BM1 that illuminates the indicator unit 36 ​​and the optical axis of the illumination light BM2 that illuminates the light-emitting unit 37 is set to be 100 degrees or more and 180 degrees or less. That is, the inclination angle, etc. of the illumination-side lens inclined surface 64A is set so that the illumination light BM2 that is emitted from one end face of the illumination light-guiding lens 64 and illuminates the charging inlet 72 does not head toward the other side in the second direction. Thus, the term "illumination light BM2 heading toward one side in the second direction" in the present invention also includes illumination light BM2 that illuminates the charging inlet 72 and heads in a direction that tilts toward one side in the second direction as it heads toward one side in the first direction. Furthermore, when the angle AG2 is changed between 10 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less, the inclination angles of the light-emitting unit 37 and the illumination-side light-emitting unit 34A as viewed from the third direction may be changed so that the plate thickness direction of the light-emitting unit 37 coincides with the irradiation direction of the illumination light BM2. The illumination light BM2 emitted from the light-emitting unit 37 illuminates the connector portion 72A of the charging inlet 72.

[0032] The light guide lens 60 also has a pair of connecting portions 66 (see FIG. 3), which are formed in a generally columnar shape extending in the second direction. The connecting portions 66 are arranged on the other side of the display light guide lens 62 and the illumination light guide lens 64 in the first direction, and connect the outer ends of the display light guide lens 62 and the illumination light guide lens 64 to each other in the third direction. This allows the display light guide lens 62 and the illumination light guide lens 64 to be integrally formed.

[0033] (Action and effect) Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described.

[0034] In the display and illumination device 10 configured as described above, when the illumination light source 52 is caused to emit light by the control unit, illumination light BM2 is emitted from the illumination light source 52 toward one side in the first direction and enters the other end of the illumination light-guiding lens 64. The illumination light BM2 that enters the illumination light-guiding lens 64 passes through the illumination light-guiding lens 64 and is emitted from one end of the illumination light-guiding lens 64 toward the light-emitting unit 37. As a result, the illumination light BM2 is emitted from the light-emitting unit 37 toward the connector portion 72A of the charging inlet 72, illuminating the connector portion 72A. This allows the user to easily recognize the position of the connector portion 72A. This improves convenience for the user.

[0035] Furthermore, when the charger connector is inserted into the connector portion 72A of the charging inlet 72, charging of the vehicle's rechargeable battery begins. When charging of the vehicle begins, the control unit causes the display light source 51 to emit light. When the display light source 51 emits light, display light BM1 is emitted from the display light source 51 toward one side in the first direction and enters the other end of the display light-guiding lens 62. The display light BM1 that enters the display light-guiding lens 62 passes through the display light-guiding lens 62 and exits from one end of the display light-guiding lens 62 toward the indicator unit 36, illuminating the indicator unit 36. This causes the indicator unit 36 ​​to notify the user that charging of the rechargeable battery has begun. Then, when charging of the rechargeable battery is completed, the control unit changes the emitted color of the display light BM1. This causes the indicator unit 36 ​​to notify the user that charging of the rechargeable battery is completed, allowing the user to recognize that charging of the rechargeable battery is completed.

[0036] In the display / illumination device 10, the display light BM1 emitted from the display light source 51 enters the display light guide 35 and illuminates the indicator section 36 of the display light guide 35. Furthermore, the illumination light BM2 emitted from the illumination light source 52 enters the illumination light guide 34 and is emitted from the illumination-side light emitting section 34A (light-emitting section 37) of the illumination light guide 34 to the outside of the case 20. Furthermore, when viewed from the third direction, the illumination light BM2 is emitted from the illumination-side light emitting section 34A (light-emitting section 37) toward one side in the second direction, and the indicator section 36 is illuminated by the display light BM1 toward the other side in the second direction. That is, the emission direction of the illumination light BM2 emitted from the case 20 is opposite to the emission direction of the display light BM1 that illuminates the indicator section 36. This prevents the indicator section 36 from being illuminated by the illumination light BM2. Therefore, the visibility of the indicator section 36 can be improved.

[0037] Furthermore, a partition plate 33 is formed inside the light guide tube portion 32 of the case 20, and the partition plate 33 separates the illumination light guide path 34 from the display light guide path 35. This allows the partition plate 33 to function as a shielding plate, effectively preventing the indicator portion 36 from being illuminated by the illumination light BM2. This effectively improves the visibility of the indicator portion 36.

[0038] Furthermore, the partition plate 33 is formed integrally with the case body 30. This reduces the number of parts and assembly steps compared to when the partition plate 33 is formed separately from the case body 30. This can therefore contribute to reducing the cost of the display and illumination device 10.

[0039] Furthermore, the indicator unit 36 ​​(display-side light-emitting unit 35B) and the light-emitting unit 37 (illumination-side light-emitting unit 34A) are arranged at positions that overlap in the first direction when viewed from the third direction. In other words, the indicator unit 36 ​​(display-side light-emitting unit 35B) and the light-emitting unit 37 (illumination-side light-emitting unit 34A) overlap when viewed from the second direction. This allows the indicator unit 36 ​​(display-side light-emitting unit 35B) and the light-emitting unit 37 (illumination-side light-emitting unit 34A) exposed from the base 71 of the energy receiving unit 70 in the display and illumination device 10 to be arranged together. That is, the portion of the display and illumination device 10 that is exposed from the base 71 of the energy receiving unit 70 can be made more compact. As a result, for example, this can contribute to improving the design of the energy receiving unit 70.

[0040] Furthermore, the connector portion 72A of the energy receiving unit 70 is located on one side in the second direction of the light-emitting unit 37 (illumination-side light-emitting portion 34A). This allows the connector portion 72A to be well illuminated by the illumination light BM2 emitted from the light-emitting unit 37 (illumination-side light-emitting portion 34A). Furthermore, the indicator portion 36 (display-side light-emitting portion 35B) is inclined toward one side in the second direction as it approaches one side in the first direction, when viewed from the third direction. That is, the indicator portion 36 (display-side light-emitting portion 35B) is configured to be visible from two directions, one side in the first direction and the other side in the second direction. This improves the visibility of the indicator portion 36 compared to when the indicator portion 36 (display-side light-emitting portion 35B) is configured to be visible only from one direction.

[0041] In this embodiment, the partition plate 33 is disposed with a predetermined gap on one side in the first direction relative to the substrate 50. However, the end portion of the partition plate 33 on the other side in the first direction may be extended toward the other side in the first direction so that the partition plate 33 is disposed adjacent to the one side in the first direction of the substrate 50 (see the partition plate 33 indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2). This causes the end portion of the partition plate 33 on the other side in the first direction to abut against the substrate 50 and to be disposed between the display light source 51 and the illumination light source 52. This effectively prevents the display light BM1 emitted from the display light source 51 from entering the illumination light guide path 34 and the illumination light BM2 emitted from the illumination light source 52 from entering the display light guide path 35. This further effectively improves the visibility of the indicator unit 36.

[0042] Furthermore, for example, in this embodiment, the angle AG2 can be changed between 10 degrees and 90 degrees, but the angle AG2 may be set between 90 degrees and 170 degrees depending on the positional relationship between the light-emitting unit 37 (illumination-side light-emitting unit 34A) and the connector unit 72A. Even in this case, the emission direction of the illumination light BM2 emitted from the case 20 is opposite to the irradiation direction of the display light BM1 that irradiates the indicator unit 36, and illumination of the indicator unit 36 ​​by the illumination light BM2 can be suppressed.

[0043] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
