[0015] Also, in the drawings shown below, an XYZ orthogonal coordinate system is set, and the X-axis direction is the front-rear direction (length direction) of the vehicle lamp 1, the Y-axis direction is the left-right direction (width direction) of the vehicle lamp 1, and the Z-axis direction is the up-down direction (height direction) of the vehicle lamp 1, and each is shown as such.

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, the vehicle light fixture 1 of this embodiment is mounted on the hood 100 at the front of the vehicle and illuminates to display patterns such as the vehicle name, manufacturer name, brand name, and logo marks such as emblems. In this embodiment, the vehicle light fixture 1 illustrates the case where it illuminates to display the four letters "STUV" as shown in Figure 1.

[0017] The bonnet 100 has a double-layered structure consisting of a panel 101, which is the outer surface, and a bonnet inner 102, which is the inner surface. The panel 101 and the bonnet inner 102 are constructed by welding together, for example, steel plates that have been processed into a predetermined shape. The surfaces of the panel 101 and the bonnet inner 102 are painted. The panel 101 and the bonnet inner 102 may also be made of resin or other materials.

[0018] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the vehicle lighting device 1 of this embodiment includes a plurality of (four in this embodiment) light-emitting lenses 2 mounted on the front side of the hood 100, a light source unit 3 located on the back side of the hood 100, and an aiming mechanism 20 for adjusting the mounting position of the light source unit 3 relative to the plurality of light-emitting lenses 2.

[0019] Each of the light-emitting lenses 2 is provided to correspond to one of the multiple display patterns (STUV). Each light-emitting lens 2 has basically the same configuration except that it displays a different display pattern. Therefore, in this embodiment, the configuration of each light-emitting lens 2 will be specifically explained using the light-emitting lens 2 corresponding to the display pattern "S" as an example.

[0020] The light-emitting lens 2 is made of a light-transmitting material such as polycarbonate or a transparent resin such as acrylic, and has a certain thickness while having a three-dimensional shape corresponding to each display pattern.

[0021] As shown in Figure 5, the multiple light-emitting lenses 2 are attached to the panel 101 that makes up the front side of the bonnet 100 via double-sided tape 200. The double-sided tape 200 has a shape corresponding to each light-emitting lens 2.

[0022] As shown in Figure 6, each light-emitting lens 2 has a plurality of light-receiving sections 4 on the back side facing the panel 101, and an emission surface 2a on the front side opposite to the side facing the panel 101.

[0023] The multiple light-receiving sections 4 are composed of substantially cylindrical protrusions projecting from the back surface of the light-emitting lens 2. Each light-receiving section 4 also has a flat incident surface 4a at the tip of the protrusion. The multiple light-receiving sections 4 are arranged with spacing between them to match the shape of the display pattern. The emission surface 2a, on the front side of each light-emitting lens 2, forms a surface corresponding to the shape of each display pattern.

[0024] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, the bonnet 100 is provided with multiple holes 101a that penetrate the panel 101 for each light-receiving portion 4 of the light-emitting lens 2. In addition, the double-sided tape 200 is provided with multiple holes 200a corresponding to each hole 101a.

[0025] Each light-emitting lens 2 is attached to the surface of the panel 101 via the double-sided tape 200, with each light-receiving portion 4 protruding toward the back side of the bonnet 100 through the holes 200a of the double-sided tape 200 and the holes 101a of the panel 101.

[0026] As shown in Figure 3, the light source unit 3 has a housing 5 and a plurality of light sources 6 arranged inside the housing 5.

[0027] The housing 5 consists of a roughly flattened box-shaped case 7 with an open front and a transparent cover lens 8 that closes the opening of the case 7. Furthermore, the cover lens 8 is not limited to a colorless, transparent (clear) material; it may also be a white, transparent material or one with a textured finish, or any other material with light-diffusing properties.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2, the housing 5 is mounted facing the rear side of the panel 101 via a support portion 102a, which is part of the bonnet inner 102 that forms the back side of the bonnet 100.

[0029] The support portion 102a is provided with a hole 102b that penetrates the bonnet inner 102. In addition, an opening 102c into which the cover lens 8 is fitted is provided in the bonnet inner 102 at a position opposite the light source unit 3.

[0030] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, the cover lens 8 is provided with at least one or more (two in this embodiment) positioning portions 8a. The positioning portions 8a are for positioning the light source unit 3, located on the back side of the bonnet 100, relative to the light-emitting lens 2, located on the front side of the bonnet 100. Specifically, the positioning portions 8a consist of a portion that protrudes in a substantially cylindrical shape from the surface side of the cover lens 8.

[0031] In the vehicle lighting device 1 of this embodiment, the light-receiving portion 4 of the light-emitting lens 2 corresponding to each positioning portion 8a is positioned inside each positioning portion 8a, thereby enabling the positioning of the light source unit 3 relative to each light-emitting lens 2.

[0032] Multiple light sources 6 consist of light-emitting elements such as LEDs, and are mounted on one side (front) of a circuit board 10 on which a drive circuit 9 for driving these LEDs is provided. A pair of wiring cords C for supplying power to the light sources 6 are connected to both ends of the circuit board 10.

[0033] Multiple light sources 6 are positioned opposite each hole 101a of the bonnet 100 for each light-receiving portion 4 of the light-emitting lens 2. The cover lens 8 may or may not be in contact with the incident surface 4a of the light-receiving portion 4.

[0034] In the vehicle lighting device 1 of this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the light L emitted from each light source 6 of the light source unit 3 described above is directed into the interior of each light-emitting lens 2 from the incident surface 4a at each light-receiving portion 4 of the light-emitting lens 2. The light L that enters from the light-receiving portion 4 of each light-emitting lens 2 is guided through the interior of each light-emitting lens 2 and then emitted to the outside from the exit surface 2a of each light-emitting lens 2. This makes it possible to make multiple light-emitting lenses 2 emit light in shapes corresponding to each display pattern.

[0035] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the aiming mechanism 20 adjusts the mounting position of the light source unit 3 relative to the support portion 102a described above, thereby aligning each hole 101a (incident surface 4a of each light receiving portion 4) of the bonnet 100 with each light source 6 of the light source unit 3.

[0036] Specifically, the light source unit 3 has a plurality (four in this embodiment) of fixing parts 11 that are fixed to the support part 102a. The plurality of fixing parts 11 are provided around the case 7. In this embodiment, four fixing parts 11 are provided at the four corners of the case 7. Each fixing part 11 is composed of a substantially rectangular flat fixing piece that protrudes outward in the width direction of the case 7.

[0037] The aiming mechanism 20 is positioned for each fixed part 11 and adjusts the mounting position of each fixed part 11 relative to the support part 102a. Each aiming mechanism 20 has basically the same configuration.

[0038] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8, the aiming mechanism 20 includes a mounting hole 21 that penetrates the fixing part 11, a bush nut 22 that is fitted into and attached to the hole 102b of the support part 102a, a coil spring 23 that is compressed and positioned between the bush nut 22 and the fixing part 11, an adjustment screw 24 that is screwed into the bush nut 22 while penetrating the mounting hole 21 and the coil spring 23, a first member 25 positioned between the fixing part 11 and the coil spring 23, and a second member 26 positioned on the side of the fixing part 11 opposite to the side where the first member 25 is positioned.

[0039] Furthermore, the first member 25 has a substantially cylindrical first sleeve portion 25a, a first flange portion 25b that protrudes in the expanding diameter direction from the outer circumference of one end of the first sleeve portion 25a, and a male threaded portion 25c provided on the outer circumference of the first sleeve portion 25a.

[0040] The second member 26 has a substantially cylindrical second sleeve portion 26a, a second flange portion 26b that protrudes in the radially expanding direction from the outer circumference of one end of the second sleeve portion 26a, and a female threaded portion 26c provided on the inner circumference of the second sleeve portion 26a.

[0041] In the aiming mechanism 20, with the fixing portion 11 sandwiched between the first flange portion 25b and the second flange portion 26b, the first sleeve portion 25a is loosely fitted into the mounting hole 21, and the male thread portion 25c is screwed into the female thread portion 26c. Furthermore, with the shaft portion 24a of the adjustment screw 24 passing through the first sleeve portion 25a and the second sleeve portion 26a, the head 24b of the adjustment screw 24 located inside the second sleeve portion 26a is in contact with the tip of the first sleeve portion 25a. In addition, the male thread portion 24c provided on the outer circumference of the shaft portion 24a of the adjustment screw 24 is screwed into the female thread portion 22a provided on the inner circumference of the bush nut 22.

[0042] In the aiming mechanism 20 having the above configuration, as shown in Figures 9(A) and (B), the amount of screwing R of the adjustment screw 24 that is screwed into the bush nut 22 is adjusted. This makes it possible to adjust the front-rear fixing position of the fixing part 11 relative to the support part 102a according to the axial position of the adjustment screw 24.

[0043] Meanwhile, the aiming mechanism 20 performs an operation to adjust the position of the first sleeve portion 25a, which is loosely fitted into the mounting hole 21 described above, in the in-plane direction (up and down and left and right directions) perpendicular to the axial direction. When performing this adjustment, the screw connection between the male threaded portion 25c of the first member 25 and the female threaded portion 26c of the second member 26 is loosened, and after the adjustment, the male threaded portion 25c and the female threaded portion 26c are tightened.

[0044] This makes it possible to adjust the in-plane (up-down and left-right) fixing position of the fixing portion 11 relative to the support portion 102a, according to the in-plane position of the first sleeve portion 25a that is loosely fitted into the mounting hole 21.

[0045] In the aiming mechanism 20, by adjusting the mounting position of each fixing part 11 to the support part 102a described above, it is possible to align each hole 101a of the bonnet 100 (the incident surface 4a of each light-receiving part 4) with each light source 6 of the light source unit 3.

[0046] As described above, in the vehicle lighting device 1 of this embodiment, by arranging multiple light-emitting lenses 2 on the front side of the hood 100 and arranging the light source unit 3 on the back side of the hood 100, it is possible to improve the aesthetic appearance of the multiple light-emitting lenses 2.

[0047] Furthermore, in the vehicle lighting fixture 1 of this embodiment, by adjusting the mounting position of each fixing part 11 relative to the support part 102a using the aiming mechanism 20 described above, it is possible to accurately align each hole 101a (incident surface 4a of each light-receiving part 4) of the bonnet 100 with each light source 6 of the light source unit 3.

[0048] As a result, in the vehicle lighting device 1 of this embodiment, even when the light source unit 3 is placed on the underside of the hood 100, it is possible to make the multiple light-emitting lenses 2 placed on the front side of the hood 100 illuminate clearly.

[0049] It should be noted that the present invention is not necessarily limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0050] For example, the light-receiving portion 4 is composed of a substantially cylindrical convex portion protruding from the back surface of the light-emitting lens 2 described above, but the shape of the convex portion is not limited to this shape, and may be a substantially hemispherical convex lens shape. Furthermore, the light-receiving portion 4 is not limited to the convex portion described above, but may consist only of a flat incident surface 4a facing the hole portion 101a.

[0051] Furthermore, while the above-mentioned light source unit 3 is configured to directly receive the light L emitted from the light source 6 through the light-receiving portion 4 (incident surface 4a) of the light-emitting lens 2, it is not limited to this configuration. For example, the light L emitted from the light source 6 may be guided through an inner lens (light guide) such as a light guide rod before being received by the light-receiving portion 4 (incident surface 4a).

[0052] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned vehicle lighting fixture 1, a part of the bonnet inner 102 that constitutes the underside of the bonnet 100 is used as the support portion 102a, but a configuration in which a support member such as a bracket is attached to the underside of the bonnet 100 is also possible.

[0053] In the above embodiment, a vehicle light fixture 1 mounted on the hood 100 at the front of the vehicle as part of the vehicle body is shown as an example. However, the present invention can also be applied to a vehicle light fixture mounted on the back gate or trunk lid at the rear of the vehicle as part of the vehicle body, which emits light to display patterns such as the vehicle name, manufacturer name, brand name, or logo mark such as an emblem.
