Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an exterior part for a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an illumination grille equipped with a light source. In such an illumination grille, the illumination grille is illuminated by light emitted from the light source. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-75283 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The illumination grille disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used in the front grille of a large vehicle, where it is relatively easy to secure space for installing a light source, etc. However, in recent years, with the spread of electric vehicles, the number of front grilles that do not require an opening in small vehicles has increased, making it possible to install light sources, etc. in the front grilles of small vehicles as well. For this reason, it is becoming more common to install vehicle exterior components that can be illuminated on small vehicles as well.

[0005] As such decorative vehicle exterior parts become more common, the demand for aesthetic appeal of such vehicle exterior parts is also increasing. For example, decorative vehicle exterior parts are generally not illuminated during the daytime when external light is strong, but are illuminated only at night when the external light is weak. Furthermore, decorative vehicle exterior parts are generally not illuminated when the vehicle is parked for a long period of time in a parking lot, etc. Therefore, if the decorative part lacks integrity with the surrounding parts during periods when decorative illumination is not used, the overall appearance of the vehicle may be marred. Therefore, it is preferable that a vehicle exterior part equipped with a light source unit be able to prevent marring of the vehicle's appearance even when the light source is not lit.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to improve the appearance impression of a vehicle exterior part equipped with a light source unit when the light source unit is not lit. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention employs the following configuration as a means for solving the above problems.

[0008] A first aspect of the present invention is an exterior vehicle part to be attached to a vehicle, comprising a beam splitter film, a colored member having a decorative surface, a support member that supports the beam splitter film and the colored member so that the arrangement angle between the decorative surface and the surface of the beam splitter film is an acute angle, and a light source unit that is arranged on the back side of the beam splitter film.

[0009] A second aspect of the present invention is the first aspect, wherein the light source unit comprises a printed circuit board arranged parallel to the back surface of the beam splitter film, and an LED element mounted on the printed circuit board.

[0010] A third aspect of the present invention employs a configuration in which, in the first or second aspect J, a light diffusing member is provided that diffuses and transmits the light emitted from the light source section and is arranged opposite the back surface of the beam splitter film.

[0011] A fourth aspect of the present invention employs a configuration in which the third aspect further comprises a light source housing member that houses the light source section and has an open end that is closed by the light diffusion member.

[0012] A fifth aspect of the present invention is the fourth aspect, wherein an inner wall surface of the light source housing member is a reflective surface that reflects the emitted light.

[0013] A sixth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fifth inventions, employs a configuration in which a transparent embedded portion is provided that fills the space between the surface of the beam splitter film and the design surface of the colored member and is capable of transmitting light.

[0014] A seventh aspect of the present invention employs a configuration in which, in the sixth aspect, the transparent embedded portion is used as the support member.

[0015] An eighth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to seventh aspects, employs a configuration in which an end of the beam splitter film and an end of the design surface of the colored member are connected. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] In the present invention, light emitted from the light source unit passes through the beam splitter film and is emitted to the outside of the vehicle exterior part. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform electrical installation by turning on the light source unit. Furthermore, in the present invention, when external light is reflected by the beam splitter film, it is incident on the design surface of the colored member. Furthermore, light returned from the design surface of the colored member is reflected by the surface of the beam splitter film and emitted to the outside of the vehicle exterior part. Therefore, according to the present invention, when the light source unit is not turned on, the design surface of the colored member is visible to outsiders when illuminated by external light. Therefore, according to the present invention, when the light source unit is not turned on, the light source unit is hidden from outsiders by the design surface of the colored member. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the appearance impression of a vehicle exterior part equipped with a light source unit when the light source unit is not turned on.

[Figure 2] 1A and 1B are schematic diagrams showing a schematic configuration of an exterior illumination part for a vehicle in a first embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) is a front view and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of (a). [Figure 3] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view that schematically shows the general configuration of a vehicle illumination exterior part according to a second embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a vehicle exterior part according to the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

[0019] (First embodiment) 1 is a front view of a vehicle 100 equipped with a vehicle illumination exterior part 1 (vehicle exterior part) of this embodiment. The vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment is an exterior part that is illuminated and visible from the outside when a light source unit 3, which will be described later, is lit, and is integrated with the surroundings while preventing the light source unit 3 from being visible from the outside.

[0020] 1, the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment is provided at the front of the vehicle 100, and is arranged below the hood H and above an emblem E. The vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment is an elongated member that extends linearly in the vehicle width direction (horizontal direction) of the vehicle 100.

[0021] 2A and 2B are schematic diagrams showing the general configuration of the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, with (a) being a front view and (b) being a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of (a). As shown in these figures, the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment includes a light source housing container 2 (light source housing member), a light source unit 3, a light diffusion member 4, a half mirror film 5 (beam splitter film), a transparent embedded part 6, and a colored paint layer 7 (colored member).

[0022] The light source housing container 2 is a container-like member that houses the light source unit 3, and is an elongated container that extends linearly in the vehicle width direction. As shown in FIG. 2(b), the light source housing container 2 is formed with a C-shaped cross section and has an open end 2a. The light source housing container 2 is fixed to the vehicle body B so that the open end faces forward and diagonally upward of the vehicle 100. In addition to the light source unit 3, the light source housing container 2 also directly or indirectly supports a light diffusion member 4, a half mirror film 5, a transparent embedded portion 6, and a colored paint layer 7.

[0023] The light source unit 3 is turned on or off based on a control unit (not shown). The light source unit 3 includes a printed circuit board 3a and a plurality of LED (Light Emitting Diode) elements 3b. The printed circuit board 3a is a wiring board on which the LED elements 3b are mounted. In this embodiment, the printed circuit board 3a is arranged parallel to the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5. The printed circuit board 3a may be single or multiple. In other words, a single or multiple LED elements 3b are mounted on the printed circuit board 3a.

[0024] Each LED element 3b is an element that emits light when supplied with driving power under the control of a control unit (not shown). That is, the LED elements 3b convert the supplied power into light and emit the generated light as emitted light. These LED elements 3b are arranged at intervals in the vehicle width direction. In this embodiment, the LED elements 3b generate and emit white emitted light.

[0025] The light diffusion member 4 is a member that diffuses and transmits light emitted from the light source unit 3, and is made of, for example, resin. The light diffusion member 4 is formed in a plate shape, and is fixed to the light source housing container 2 so as to close the open end 2a of the light source housing container 2. The light diffusion member 4 is arranged so that the front surface 4a faces the outside of the vehicle and the back surface 4b faces the light source housing container 2 side (the inside of the vehicle).

[0026] The light source housing container 2 and the light diffusing member 4 form a closed space in which the light source unit 3 is housed. Since the light source unit 3 is housed in the closed space formed by the light source housing container 2 and the light diffusing member, the light source unit 3 is prevented from being exposed to rainwater or the outside air. This makes it possible to suppress deterioration of the light source unit 3.

[0027] The half mirror film 5 is a film member arranged in front of the light source unit 3, with its front surface 5a facing the transparent embedded portion 6 and its back surface 5b facing the light diffusing member 4. In other words, the light source unit 3 is arranged on the back side of the half mirror film 5. This half mirror film 5 is a beam splitter film that transmits part of the light and reflects the rest.

[0028] In this embodiment, the half mirror film 5 is attached to the transparent embedded portion 6. The half mirror film 5 is disposed so that the front surface 4a and the back surface 5b of the light diffusing member 4 are in contact with each other and face each other. The half mirror film 5 is disposed so as to cover the entire front surface 4a of the light diffusing member 4.

[0029] The half mirror film 5 transmits a part of the light emitted from the light source unit 3 and reflects the rest. The half mirror film 5 also transmits a part of the external light incident from the outside and reflects the rest.

[0030] Here, if the intensity of the light emitted from the light source unit 3 and transmitted through the half mirror film 5 is assumed to be stronger than the intensity of the external light reflected by the half mirror film 5, an outsider will see the color tone due to the light emitted from the light source unit 3. On the other hand, if the intensity of the light emitted from the light source unit 3 and transmitted through the half mirror film 5 is assumed to be weaker than the intensity of the external light reflected by the half mirror film 5, an outsider will see the color tone due to the external light.

[0031] That is, in places where the intensity of external light is weak, such as at night, the light from the light source unit 3 is clearly visible to outsiders. On the other hand, in places where the intensity of external light is strong, such as during the day, the light from the light source unit 3 is difficult for outsiders to see. For this reason, in places where the intensity of external light is strong, such as during the day, the light source unit 3 is generally turned off. However, it is also acceptable to leave the light source unit 3 turned on in places where the intensity of external light is strong, such as during the day.

[0032] The transparent embedded portion 6 is a transparent member that fills the space between the half mirror film 5 and the colored paint layer 7, and is provided so as to extend linearly in the vehicle width direction. The transparent embedded portion 6 is formed of, for example, an acrylic resin. In this embodiment, the transparent embedded portion 6 functions as a support member that supports the half mirror film 5 and the colored paint layer 7.

[0033] The transparent embedded portion 6 supports the half mirror film 5 and the colored paint layer 7 so that the angle α (arrangement angle) formed between the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7 described later and the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5 is an acute angle (e.g., 45°).

[0034] The transparent embedded portion 6 has a half-mirror fixing surface 6a to which the half-mirror film 5 is fixed, and a paint layer fixing surface 6b to which the colored paint layer 7 is fixed. The surface 5a of the half-mirror film 5 is in close contact with the half-mirror fixing surface 6a. Furthermore, the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7 is in close contact with the paint layer fixing surface 6b.

[0035] The half mirror fixing surface 6a and the paint layer fixing surface 6b are connected at an angle α formed by the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7 and the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5. In other words, by providing the half mirror film 5 and the colored paint layer 7 on the half mirror fixing surface 6a and the paint layer fixing surface 6b connected at such an angle α, the angle formed by the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7 and the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5 becomes the above-mentioned angle α.

[0036] 2(b), the front end of the half mirror fixing surface 6a is spaced apart from the front end of the colored paint layer 7. The transparent embedded portion 6 has a connecting curved surface 6c that connects the front end of the half mirror fixing surface 6a to the front end of the colored paint layer 7.

[0037] The connecting curved surface 6c is curved so that the central portion in the vertical direction bulges forward (the side opposite to the connection point between the rear end of the half mirror fixing surface 6a and the rear end of the colored paint layer 7). By curving the connecting curved surface 6c in this way, the transparent embedded portion 6 can be viewed from a wider angle than if the connecting curved surface 6c were replaced with a flat surface.

[0038] Such a transparent embedded portion 6 is connected to the light diffusion member 4 via the half mirror film 5. Therefore, the transparent embedded portion 6 is supported by the light source housing container 2 via the light diffusion member 4. However, it is also possible to support the transparent embedded portion 6 by directly fixing the transparent embedded portion 6 to the vehicle body B.

[0039] The colored paint layer 7 is a layer formed of a colored paint. Such a colored paint layer 7 is formed, for example, by applying paint, which is a material for forming the colored paint layer 7, to the paint layer fixing surface 6b of the transparent embedded portion 6 and then drying the paint. The surface of the colored paint layer 7 facing the paint layer fixing surface 6b is the design surface 7a that can be seen from the outside.

[0040] In this embodiment, the colored paint layer 7 is black and formed by black painting. That is, the colored paint layer 7 has a black design surface 7a. Note that the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7 does not necessarily have to be black and may be another color. Furthermore, a pattern or the like may be drawn on the design surface 7a.

[0041] The rear end of the colored paint layer 7 is connected to the rear end of the half mirror film 5. In other words, in this embodiment, there is no gap between the colored paint layer 7 and the half mirror film 5, and the colored paint layer 7 and the half mirror film 5 are directly connected to each other.

[0042] In the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, when light is emitted from the light source unit 3, the light emitted from the light source unit 3 enters the light diffusion member 4 from the back surface 4b of the light diffusion member 4. When the light is incident on the light diffusion member 4, the light is diffused inside the light diffusion member 4 and passes through the light diffusion member 4. The light diffused by the light diffusion member 4 is emitted in various directions from the entire surface 4a of the light diffusion member 4.

[0043] The emitted light that passes through the light diffusing member 4 is incident on the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5 from the surface 4a of the light diffusing member 4. A part of the emitted light that has entered the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5 passes through the half mirror film 5, and the rest is reflected by the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5. A part of the emitted light reflected by the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5 returns to the light source unit 3 side.

[0044] On the other hand, the emitted light that has passed through the half mirror film 5 passes through the transparent embedded portion 6 and is emitted to the outside from the connecting curved surface 6c of the transparent embedded portion 6. Such emitted light is visible to outsiders at night or other times when the outside light is weak. As a result, outsiders see the entire surface 4a of the light diffusing member 4 as if it were emitting white light.

[0045] Furthermore, in the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, when external light enters the transparent embedded portion 6 from the connecting curved surface 6c, the external light that has entered the transparent embedded portion 6 is incident on the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5. A portion of the external light that has entered the half mirror film 5 is transmitted through the half mirror film 5, and the remainder is reflected by the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5. A portion of the external light that has transmitted through the half mirror film 5 proceeds toward the light source unit 3.

[0046] Meanwhile, external light reflected by the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5 travels inside the transparent embedded portion 6 and is incident on the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7. The external light that is incident on the design surface 7a is reflected by the design surface 7a and is again incident on the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5. Part of the external light that is returned from the design surface 7a is reflected by the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5 and is emitted to the outside from the connecting curved surface 6c of the transparent embedded portion 6. Such external light emitted from the connecting curved surface 6c of the transparent embedded portion 6 is visible to outsiders during the day when the external light is strong or when the light source unit 3 is not turned on. As a result, outsiders can see the design surface 7a.

[0047] The vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment as described above is attached to a vehicle body B. This vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment includes a half mirror film 5 and a colored paint layer 7 having a design surface 7a. The vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment also includes a transparent embedded part 6. The transparent embedded part 6 supports the half mirror film 5 and the colored paint layer 7 so that the angle α between the design surface 7a and the surface of the half mirror film 5 is an acute angle. The vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment also includes a light source unit 3. The light source unit 3 is arranged on the back surface 5b side of the half mirror film 5.

[0048] In the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, light emitted from the light source unit 3 passes through the half mirror film 5 and is emitted to the outside of the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment. Therefore, according to the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to perform electrical installations by turning on the light source unit 3.

[0049] In the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, when external light is reflected by the half mirror film 5, it is incident on the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7. In addition, the return light from the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7 is reflected by the surface of the half mirror film 5 and emitted to the outside of the vehicle illumination exterior part 1.

[0050] Therefore, according to the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, when the light source unit 3 is not lit, the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7 is illuminated by external light and is visible to outsiders. Therefore, according to the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, when the light source unit 3 is not lit, the light source unit 3 is hidden from outsiders by the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7. Therefore, according to the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to improve the appearance impression of the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 including the light source unit 3 when the light source unit 3 is not lit.

[0051] In the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, the light source unit 3 includes a printed circuit board 3a arranged parallel to the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5, and LED elements 3b mounted on the printed circuit board 3a. By arranging the printed circuit board 3a parallel to the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5, the distances from the LED elements 3b to each portion of the half mirror film 5 are made uniform.

[0052] Furthermore, the LED element 3b generally has a reflector in its internal structure, and emits light in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the semiconductor chip. In this embodiment, the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5 is arranged so that it is perpendicular to the light emission direction of the LED element 3b. This makes it possible to increase the transmittance of the emitted light through the half mirror film 5 compared to when the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5 is inclined with respect to the light emission direction of the LED element 3b. Therefore, the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment makes it possible to achieve a bright illumination effect with less power.

[0053] Furthermore, the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment includes a light diffusing member 4 that diffuses and transmits the light emitted from the light source unit 3 and is disposed opposite the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5. This allows the light emitted from the light source unit 3 to be diffused, making it possible to obtain an electric decorative effect similar to that of surface emission.

[0054] Furthermore, the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment includes a light source housing container 2 that houses the light source unit 3 and has an open end 2a that is closed with a light diffusion member 4. Therefore, the light source unit 3 can be protected by being surrounded, and deterioration of the light source unit 3 can be prevented.

[0055] The vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment also includes a transparent embedded part 6. This transparent embedded part 6 fills the space between the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5 and the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7. The transparent embedded part 6 is also light-transmitting. Therefore, the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment can prevent the surface 5a of the half mirror film 5 and the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7 from becoming soiled with rainwater, dust, and the like. This allows the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 to maintain its excellent design for a long period of time.

[0056] Furthermore, in the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, the transparent embedded part 6 is used as a support member that supports the half mirror film 5 and the colored paint layer 7. Therefore, there is no need to provide a support member other than the transparent embedded part 6, and the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 can be made small and lightweight.

[0057] Furthermore, in the vehicle illumination exterior part 1 of this embodiment, the end of the half mirror film 5 is connected to the end of the design surface 7a of the colored paint layer 7. This makes it possible to prevent light from leaking between the half mirror film 5 and the colored paint layer 7.

[0058] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the description of this embodiment, the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

[0059] 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a vehicle illumination exterior part 1A of this embodiment. As shown in this figure, in the vehicle illumination exterior part 1A of this embodiment, the light source storage container 2 of the first embodiment is provided with a container main body 21 and a reflective film 22.

[0060] The container body 21 is a container-shaped portion that houses the light source unit 3, and is an elongated container that extends linearly in the vehicle width direction. The container body 21 is formed with a C-shaped cross section. The reflective film 22 is provided on the inner wall surface of the container body 21. Such a reflective film 22 reflects the light emitted from the light source unit 3.

[0061] That is, in the vehicle illumination exterior part 1A of this embodiment, the inner wall surface of the light source housing container 2 is formed as a reflective surface that reflects the emitted light. According to the vehicle illumination exterior part 1A of this embodiment, the emitted light that is emitted from the light source unit 3 and reflected by the back surface 5b of the half mirror film 5 can be reflected and directed back toward the half mirror film 5. Therefore, according to the vehicle illumination exterior part 1A of this embodiment, it is possible to improve the utilization efficiency of the emitted light emitted from the light source unit 3.

[0062] While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The shapes and combinations of the components shown in the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and various modifications can be made based on design requirements, etc., without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0063] For example, in the above embodiment, the configuration has been described in which the half mirror film 5 and the colored paint layer 7 are connected. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the half mirror film 5 and the colored paint layer 7 are spaced apart.

[0064] In addition, for example, it is possible to roughen the connecting curved surface 6c of the transparent embedded part 6 so that the connecting curved surface 6c scatters the emitted light and external light. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to change the impression that outsiders receive. Similarly, it is also possible to roughen the paint layer fixing surface 6b.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the vehicle illumination exterior component is installed in the front of the vehicle. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the vehicle illumination exterior component may be installed in any part of the vehicle.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the LED element 3b generates and emits white light. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which LED elements that generate and emit light of different colors are provided may also be adopted. [Explanation of symbols]
