Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an interior lamp for a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a vehicle interior lamp includes a light source, a circuit board that supplies power to the light source, and a pair of conductive members that electrically connect the circuit board to a vehicle power source. The conductive member has a terminal portion that is inserted into a through hole in the circuit board, and the terminal portion is electrically connected to the light source via the wiring pattern of the circuit board. The following physical and electrical connection structures between the terminal portion and the circuit board are known. For example, Patent Document 1 listed below discloses a connection structure between a press-fit terminal and a circuit board. In this connection structure, an elastic portion of the press-fit terminal is elastically deformed while being inserted into the through hole, and a claw portion that protrudes from the through hole is hooked on the back side of the circuit board to prevent the press-fit terminal from coming out. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-172986 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The press-fit terminal maintains its connection position in the through-hole due to the contact load between its elastic portion and the through-hole. Therefore, in a vehicle interior light, vibrations caused by road impacts or other factors are transmitted to the vehicle body during driving. Depending on the magnitude of the input load and contact load, the press-fit terminal may move in the insertion / removal direction relative to the through-hole. However, in this vehicle interior light, the claw portion prevents the press-fit terminal from being removed from the circuit board. However, because the press-fit terminal cannot be positioned in the insertion direction relative to the through-hole, it may be inserted further in. In this case, the contact load between the elastic portion of the press-fit terminal and the through-hole changes as the position of the press-fit terminal changes, potentially destabilizing the electrical conductivity between them.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle interior lamp that is capable of stabilizing electrical conductivity. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides a light source, a circuit board that supplies power to the light source via a wiring pattern, a pair of conductive members that have a cut surface created when a metal plate as a base material is punched during press forming and that electrically connect a vehicle power source to the wiring pattern, a housing that houses the light source, the circuit board, and the conductive members, and a lens member that transmits light from the light source, wherein the conductive members are inserted into a through hole that serves as a contact insertion hole from a first plane side of the circuit board and are formed on a periphery of the contact insertion hole on a second plane side of the circuit board. and an elastic pressing body that applies a reaction force due to elastic deformation to the first plane when the contact part and the electrical connection part are in contact, and clamps the circuit board between the contact part and the first plane, wherein the contact part is formed into a U-shape by being bent into a U-shape or a V-shape by being bent into a V-shape so that an arc-shaped outer wall surface comes into contact with the electrical connection part, and the electrical connection body is provided with a bending part for adjusting the contact position that is bent so that a flat part of the base material becomes the arc-shaped outer wall surface while avoiding the cut surface. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The vehicle interior light according to the present invention clamps the circuit board between the contact portion of the electrical connector and the elastic pressing body, improving the holding force of the conductive member relative to the circuit board and thereby suppressing misalignment of the conductive member relative to the circuit board. In this case, the contact portion of the electrical connector contacts the electrical connection portion of the circuit board, and the effect of suppressing misalignment of the conductive member relative to the circuit board allows the electrical connection portion and the contact portion to maintain contact. Furthermore, in this vehicle interior light, the arc-shaped outer wall surface of the contact portion, which has a smoother and more stable surface condition than a cut surface, contacts the electrical connection portion. As a result, the vehicle interior light according to the present invention stabilizes the conductivity between the circuit board and the conductive member, thereby enabling a stable power supply to the light source.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a vehicle interior lamp according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment.

[0010] [Embodiment] One embodiment of a vehicle interior lamp according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. FIG.

[0011] Reference numeral 1 in Figures 1 to 7 indicates a vehicle interior light of this embodiment. This vehicle interior light 1 is installed inside the vehicle cabin. For example, the vehicle interior light 1 shown here is installed on the ceiling R inside the vehicle cabin (Figures 1 and 2).

[0012] The vehicle interior lamp 1 includes a light source 10 and a circuit board 20 that supplies power to the light source 10 (FIGS. 4 to 7).

[0013] Here, a light emitting diode is used as the light source 10. The circuit board 20 is a so-called printed circuit board, and has a wiring pattern (printed pattern) formed (printed) with a conductive material such as copper foil on an insulating layer made of an insulating material such as epoxy resin, glass epoxy resin, paper epoxy resin, or ceramic. The light source 10 is electrically connected to the power supply wiring pattern of the circuit board 20 by, for example, soldering. The circuit board 20 supplies power to the light source 10 via the wiring pattern.

[0014] The circuit board 20 is formed in a flat plate shape, and a wiring pattern is formed on at least one of one plane (hereinafter referred to as the "first plane") 20a and the other plane (hereinafter referred to as the "second plane") 20b (FIG. 8). The circuit board 20 shown here is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape.

[0015] The vehicle interior lamp 1 also includes a pair of conductive members 30 that electrically connect a vehicle power source (such as a secondary battery) to the power supply wiring pattern of the circuit board 20 (FIGS. 4 to 10).

[0016] The conductive member 30 is a press-formed component made of a metal plate as a base material, and is shaped by punching the metal plate and bending each portion after punching. Therefore, the conductive member 30 has a cut surface 30a formed when the metal plate is punched during press forming (FIGS. 9 and 10). The cut surface 30a refers to a sheared surface or fracture surface formed during punching during press forming, and strictly speaking, also includes sagging. The surface of the conductive member 30 is roughly divided into the cut surface 30a and a flat portion of the base material (hereinafter referred to as the "smooth surface") 30b that is smoother than the cut surface 30a (FIGS. 9 and 10). The vehicle interior lamp 1 shown here uses a conductive member 30 formed as a bus bar.

[0017] The conductive member 30 has an electrical connecting body 31 that is inserted into a through-hole serving as the contact insertion hole 21 from the first flat surface 20a side of the circuit board 20 and that brings the contact portion 31a into contact with the electrical connecting portion 22 on the periphery of the contact insertion hole 21 on the second flat surface 20b of the circuit board 20 (FIGS. 4 and 6 to 10). Furthermore, the conductive member 30 has an elastic pressing body 32 that applies a reaction force due to elastic deformation to the first flat surface 20a when the contact portion 31a and the electrical connecting portion 22 are in contact with each other, and that sandwiches the circuit board 20 between the first flat surface 20a and the contact portion 31a (FIGS. 4 to 10). The conductive member 30 is provided with one electrical connecting body 31 and two elastic pressing bodies 32.

[0018] In the circuit board 20, a contact insertion hole 21 that connects the first plane 20a side and the second plane 20b side is formed for each conductive member 30. In this circuit board 20, two through holes are formed spaced apart from each other, and each of these through holes is used as a contact insertion hole 21. The electrical connection portion 22 is, for example, a part of the power supply wiring pattern on the second plane 20b of the circuit board 20. Furthermore, if the contact insertion hole 21 is a through-hole in the circuit board 20, the electrical connection portion 22 may be, for example, a land on the periphery of the contact insertion hole 21.

[0019] The conductive member 30 has a main body 33 from which the electrical connecting body 31 and the elastic pressing body 32 protrude (FIGS. 4, 5, and 8 to 10). The main body 33 is formed in a flat plate shape. Here, two contact insertion holes 21 are formed in the circuit board 20, each having the same rectangular shape. Therefore, the inner circumferential surface of the contact insertion hole 21 is formed by two pairs of opposing wall surfaces that face each other. The main body 33 shown here is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape. In the conductive member 30, one side portion 33a of the main body 33 is disposed opposite the first plane 20a of the circuit board 20, and the electrical connecting body 31 protruding from the side portion (hereinafter referred to as the "opposing side portion") 33a of the main body 33 is inserted into the contact insertion hole 21 with the direction perpendicular to the plane of the main body 33 aligned with the direction in which one pair of opposing wall surfaces of the contact insertion hole 21 face each other (FIGS. 4, 5, and 8).

[0020] The conductive member 30 shown here has a first protrusion 34a that protrudes axially from one corner of the opposing side 33a of the main body 33 in the axial direction of the contact insertion hole 21 on the same plane as the main body 33, and a second protrusion 34b that protrudes axially from the other corner of the opposing side 33a of the main body 33 in the axial direction of the contact insertion hole 21 on the same plane as the main body 33 (FIGS. 4, 5, and 8 to 10). The electrical connecting body 31 protrudes from the tip of the protruding end of the second protrusion 34b.

[0021] In the electrical connecting body 31, the contact portion 31a is formed in a U-shape by bending it into a U-shape or a V-shape by bending it into a V-shape so that the arc-shaped outer wall surface 31a1 comes into contact with the electrical connecting portion 22 (FIGS. 4 and 8 to 10). The electrical connecting body 31 is provided with a bent portion 31b for adjusting the contact position, which is bent so that the smooth surface 30b of the base material becomes the arc-shaped outer wall surface 31a1, avoiding the cut surface 30a (FIGS. 4 and 8 to 10).

[0022] The electrical connection body 31 shown here has a fixed end on the main body 33 side and a free end as the contact portion 31a, and the free end side is formed in a cantilever shape that elastically deforms due to the force received from the inner surface of the contact insertion hole 21 of the circuit board 20.

[0023] Specifically, the electrical connecting body 31 is formed in an axial shape having: a first shaft portion 31c that protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the contact insertion hole 21 on the same plane as the flat body 33; a second shaft portion 31d that is bent from the protruding tip of the first shaft portion 31c and protrudes axially in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the body 33; a third shaft portion 31e that protrudes axially from the protruding tip of the second shaft portion 31d in the direction of the axis of the contact insertion hole 21, with the protruding tip positioned on the second plane 20b side of the circuit board 20; a folded portion 31f that is provided at the tip of the third shaft portion 31e and folded back toward the second plane 20b of the circuit board 20; and a contact portion 31a that is provided at the folded tip of the folded portion 31f (Figures 4 and 8 to 10).

[0024] The first axial portion 31c shown here is provided on the fixed end side of the electrical connection body 31 and is arranged on the first flat surface 20a side of the circuit board 20. In the electrical connection body 31, the first axial portion 31c rises from the tip of the protruding end of the second protrusion 34b toward the first protrusion 34a. Here, the first axial portion 31c rises to a position approximately midway between the first protrusion 34a and the second protrusion 34b. The second axial portion 31d is bent from the tip of the first axial portion 31c and protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the flat surface of the main body 33. In this electrical connection body 31, the bent portion between the first axial portion 31c and the second axial portion 31d is used to adjust the contact position.

[0025] The third shaft portion 31e protrudes from the tip of the second shaft portion 31d in the axial direction of the contact insertion hole 21 and is inserted into the contact insertion hole 21. Therefore, the third shaft portion 31e is inserted into the contact insertion hole 21 from the first flat surface 20a side of the circuit board 20, and the protruding tip of the third shaft portion 31e is removed from the contact insertion hole 21 to the second flat surface 20b side of the circuit board 20.

[0026] The folded portion 31f extends from the tip of the third shaft portion 31e, which protrudes in the axial direction of the contact insertion hole 21, to a point beyond that, and is folded back toward the periphery of one of the opposing wall surfaces (one of the other pair of opposing wall surfaces) on the inner surface of the contact insertion hole 21 on a plane parallel to the plane of the main body 33.

[0027] The contact portion 31a is bent in a U-shape from the tip of the folded portion 31f toward the third shaft portion 31e on the same plane as the folded portion 31f, and then folded back toward the folded portion 31f. In the contact portion 31a, an arc-shaped outer wall surface 31a1 formed by the bending serves as a contact point, and this contact point is brought into contact with the electrical connection portion 22.

[0028] As a result, in this electrical connector 31, the arc-shaped outer wall surface 31a1 of the contact portion 31a is formed by the smooth surface 30b of the base material, and each side end surface of this contact portion 31a becomes the cut surface 30a created when the base material is punched out during press molding.

[0029] The elastic pressing body 32 is formed in a cantilever shape, protruding axially from the tip of the protruding end of the first protrusion 34a and the tip of the protruding end of the second protrusion 34b, and elastically deforms the contact portion 31a and the electrical connection portion 22 by pressing them against the first flat surface 20a of the circuit board 20 while they are in contact with each other. The elastic pressing body 32 on the first protrusion 34a side protrudes from the tip of the first protrusion 34a on the same plane as the main body 33 in the opposite direction to the second protrusion 34b side, and is folded back midway toward the side 33b of the main body 33 opposite to the opposing side 33a. The elastic pressing body 32 on the second protrusion 34b side protrudes from the tip of the second protrusion 34b on the same plane as the main body 33 in the opposite direction to the first protrusion 34a side, and is folded back midway toward the side 33b of the main body 33. In each elastic pressing body 32, the apex, which is the bending point of the fold, becomes the contact point, and this contact point of the apex is pressed against the first plane 20a of the circuit board 20, causing elastic deformation from, for example, the base on the fixed end side.

[0030] In this conductive member 30, when the electrical connecting body 31 is inserted into the contact insertion hole 21 from the folded portion 31f, the folded portion 31f receives force from one opposing wall surface (one of the other pair of opposing wall surfaces) on the inner circumferential surface of the contact insertion hole 21, causing the third shaft portion 31e to elastically deform. In this conductive member 30, as the electrical connecting body 31 is inserted further in, the contact portion 31a receives force from the opposing wall surface (one of the other pair of opposing wall surfaces), causing the third shaft portion 31e to further elastically deform. In this conductive member 30, the elastic pressing bodies 32 abutting against the first flat surface 20a of the circuit board 20 are elastically deformed while being pressed against the first flat surface 20a, causing the contact portion 31a to come out of the contact insertion hole 21 toward the second flat surface 20b of the circuit board 20, and the elastic deformation of the third shaft portion 31e is released. Thereafter, in this conductive member 30, the pressing force of each elastic pressing body 32 against the first plane 20a of the circuit board 20 is released, so that the circuit board 20 is clamped between the arc-shaped outer wall surface 31a1 of the contact portion 31a of the electrical connector 31 that is in contact with the electrical connection portion 22 on the second plane 20b of the circuit board 20 and each elastic pressing body 32, while the reaction force caused by the elastic deformation of each elastic pressing body 32 is still acting on the first plane 20a.

[0031] The conductive member 30 has a terminal portion 35 that is physically and electrically connected to a mating connector (not shown) at the end of a wire harness connected to a vehicle power source (FIGS. 4, 5, and 8 to 10). The terminal portion 35 is mated and connected to a mating terminal fitting (not shown) housed in a mating fitting portion of a mating housing. The terminal portion 35 is provided on a side portion 33b of the main body 33. The terminal portion 35 shown here is a male terminal portion that protrudes axially from the side portion 33b.

[0032] The vehicle interior light 1 includes a housing 40 that houses a light source 10, a circuit board 20, and a conductive member 30 (FIGS. 1 to 7). In the vehicle interior light 1, a pair of conductive members 30 are pre-assembled to the circuit board 20 on which the light source 10 is mounted, and the assembled body of these members is housed in the housing 40.

[0033] The casing 40 includes a housing member 40A and a cover member 40B, which are molded from an insulating material such as synthetic resin (FIGS. 1 to 7).

[0034] The housing member 40A has a housing main body 41 that supports the circuit board 20 with the light source 10 and the pair of conductive members 30, and a cylindrical fitting portion 42 that accommodates the terminal portions 35 of each conductive member 30 and into which the mating fitting portion of the mating housing is inserted and fitted together with the mating terminal fittings (Figures 1 to 7).

[0035] The cover member 40B has a surrounding wall portion 43 that surrounds the contact insertion hole 21 side of the circuit board 20 supported by the housing main body 41 and the pair of conductive members 30, and a square cylindrical wall portion 44 that surrounds the light source 10 side of the circuit board 20 that protrudes from the surrounding wall portion 43 (FIGS. 1, 2, and 4 to 7). The light source 10 protrudes from an opening 44a of the cylindrical wall portion 44 (FIG. 4).

[0036] The housing member 40A and the cover member 40B are assembled together, and the assembled state is maintained by the first cover holding portion 45 of the housing member 40A and the second cover holding portion 46 of the cover member 40B (FIGS. 1, 2, 6, and 7). Here, four pairs of first cover holding portion 45 and second cover holding portion 46 are provided.

[0037] The first cover holding portion 45 is a flexible piece having a through hole 45a formed therein and protruding from the housing main body 41. The second cover holding portion 46 is a claw-like protruding portion that protrudes from the outer wall surface of the surrounding wall portion 43. The second cover holding portion 46 is inserted into the through hole 45a of the first cover holding portion 45 when the housing member 40A and the cover member 40B are in a fully assembled state. The second cover holding portion 46 is engaged with the periphery of the through hole 45a in the first cover holding portion 45 when the fully assembled housing member 40A and the cover member 40B are about to be pulled apart. This maintains the fully assembled state of the housing member 40A and the cover member 40B.

[0038] The vehicle interior lamp 1 includes a lens member 50 that transmits light from the light source 10 (FIGS. 1 to 7).

[0039] The lens member 50 is formed into a box shape (FIGS. 1 to 7) by a rectangular, flat light-transmitting portion 51 and a square cylindrical peripheral wall portion 52 that hangs down from the peripheral edge of the light-transmitting portion 51. The vehicle interior lamp 1 is embedded in the ceiling R with the light-transmitting portion 51 of the lens member 50 exposed.

[0040] The lens member 50 is assembled to the cover member 40B by inserting the peripheral wall portion 52 into the cylindrical wall portion 44 of the cover member 40B through the opening 44a. The cover member 40B and the lens member 50 are maintained in their assembled state by the first lens holding portion 47 of the cover member 40B and the second lens holding portion 53 of the lens member 50 (FIGS. 1, 2, 6, and 7). Here, four pairs of first lens holding portions 47 and second lens holding portions 53 are provided.

[0041] The first lens holding portion 47 is a flexible piece having a through hole 47a formed therein, and is formed as a part of the cylindrical wall portion 44. The second lens holding portion 53 is a claw-like protruding portion that protrudes from the outer wall surface of the peripheral wall portion 52. The second lens holding portion 53 is inserted into the through hole 47a of the first lens holding portion 47 when the cover member 40B and the lens member 50 are in an assembled state. The second lens holding portion 53 is engaged with the peripheral edge of the through hole 47a of the first lens holding portion 47 when the cover member 40B and the lens member 50 are to be pulled apart after the assembled state. This maintains the cover member 40B and the lens member 50 in their assembled state.

[0042] In this vehicle interior light 1, a capacitance type switch is used as the switch for turning on and off the light source 10. Therefore, this vehicle interior light 1 is provided with a switch bus bar 60 that serves as an electrode of the capacitance type switch (FIGS. 4 to 7). This switch bus bar 60 is formed from a metal material and is housed in a box of the lens member 50.

[0043] The switch bus bar 60 has a rectangular annular bus bar main body 61 that is in close contact with the periphery of the light transmitting portion 51 inside the box of the lens member 50 (FIGS. 4 to 7). The switch bus bar 60 also has a first electrical connection body 62 that protrudes from the bus bar main body 61 and whose protruding tip contacts a first electrical connection portion 23 on the first plane 20a of the circuit board 20, and a second electrical connection body 63 that protrudes from the bus bar main body 61 and whose protruding tip contacts a second electrical connection portion 24 on the second plane 20b of the circuit board 20 (FIGS. 4 to 8). The first electrical connection portion 23 is part of the wiring pattern for the switch on the first plane 20a of the circuit board 20. The second electrical connection portion 24 is part of the wiring pattern for the switch on the second plane 20b of the circuit board 20.

[0044] The switch bus bar 60 changes its capacitance when an operator brings a finger close to the light-transmitting portion 51 of the lens member 50 or touches the light-transmitting portion 51 with a finger. The circuit board 20 turns the light source 10 on or off by detecting the change in capacitance of the switch bus bar 60 via the first electrical connection portion 23 and the second electrical connection portion 24.

[0045] The vehicle interior lamp 1 includes a rectangular annular bezel member 70 that surrounds the periphery of the light transmitting portion 51 inside the vehicle cabin (FIGS. 1 to 7).

[0046] As described above, the vehicle interior light 1 of this embodiment sandwiches the circuit board 20 between the contact portion 31a of the electrical connecting body 31 and the elastic pressing body 32, improving the holding force of the conductive member 30 relative to the circuit board 20 and thereby suppressing misalignment of the conductive member 30 relative to the circuit board 20. In this case, in the vehicle interior light 1, the contact portion 31a of the electrical connecting body 31 contacts the electrical connection portion 22 of the circuit board 20, and the effect of suppressing misalignment of the conductive member 30 relative to the circuit board 20 allows the electrical connection portion 22 and the contact portion 31a to be kept in contact. Furthermore, in this vehicle interior light 1, the arc-shaped outer wall surface 31a1 of the contact portion 31a (i.e., the smooth surface 30b of the base material), which has a smoother and more stable surface condition than the cut surface 30a, is brought into contact with the electrical connection portion 22. As a result, the vehicle interior light 1 of this embodiment can stabilize the conductivity between the circuit board 20 and the conductive member 30, thereby enabling a stable power supply to the light source 10.

[0047] Here, it is desirable that the bent portion 31b for adjusting the contact position is arranged so that of the two smooth surfaces 30b of the base material, the smooth surface 30b on the side where the sagging of the cut surface 30a is located becomes the arc-shaped outer wall surface 31a1 of the contact portion 31a.
