Consequently, the light-shielding wall blocks the progress of the light emitted from the first light source toward the second light guide, and also blocks the progress of the light emitted from the second light source toward the first light guide, so that it is possible to prevent a reduction in functionality and ensure a proper light radiation state.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technical field of a vehicle lamp having a light guide that guides and irradiates incident light in a predetermined direction. [Background technology]

[0002] There is a type of vehicle lamp in which a light source and multiple light guides are arranged inside a lamp outer casing formed by a cover and a lamp housing, and light emitted from the light source is guided by the light guides and irradiated to the outside from the irradiation surface of the light guides (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

[0003] In the vehicle lamp shown in FIG. 4 of Patent Document 1 and described in Patent Document 2, two light sources and two light guides are provided, light is incident on the first light guide from a first light source, light is incident on the first light guide from a second light source, the light emitted from the first light source is irradiated to the outside from the exit surface of the first light guide, and the light emitted from the second light source is irradiated to the outside from the exit surface of the second light guide.

[0004] In vehicle lamps equipped with a light guide in this manner, the light emission position (light source) and the position where light is irradiated to the outside (irradiation surface of the light guide) are different, which allows for greater design freedom and makes it possible to form a highly aesthetic light distribution pattern.

[0005] Furthermore, in a configuration in which light is emitted using two light guides, the light is guided by each light guide to the desired position and then emitted, making it possible to emit light over a wide area. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-220412 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-183143 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In a configuration using two light guides as described above, there are cases where light with different functions is emitted from one light guide and the other light guide. For example, there are cases where light is emitted from one light guide as a turn signal lamp indicating the direction in which the vehicle is traveling, and light is emitted from the other light guide as a clearance lamp indicating the presence and widthwise size of a vehicle.

[0008] In such a case, if light other than the light that is intended to be incident is incident on a light guide having a different function, the functionality may be reduced and it may become impossible to ensure proper light irradiation.

[0009] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle lamp that prevents a decrease in functionality and ensures an appropriate illumination state of light. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The vehicle lamp according to the present invention comprises a first light source that emits light, a second light source that emits light, a first light guide that guides the light emitted from the first light source and irradiates the guided light, a second light guide that guides the light emitted from the second light source and irradiates light having a different function from the light irradiated from the first light guide, and a light-shielding wall positioned between the first light source and the second light source. a circuit board on which the first light source and the second light source are mounted, and a heat sink having a board mounting portion to which the circuit board is attached, wherein an insertion hole is formed in the circuit board, and the light-shielding wall is positioned in a state where it is inserted into the insertion hole. It is something.

[0011] As a result, the light-shielding wall blocks the light emitted from the first light source from traveling toward the second light guide, and also blocks the light emitted from the second light source from traveling toward the first light guide. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the present invention, the light-shielding wall blocks the light emitted from the first light source from traveling toward the second light guide, and also blocks the light emitted from the second light source from traveling toward the first light guide, thereby preventing a decrease in functionality and ensuring proper light irradiation.

[0014] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A vehicle lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] The vehicle lamp 1 is attached to, for example, both the left and right ends of the front end of the vehicle body, and is used as a so-called combination lamp that functions as a vehicle headlight and a vehicle marker light. However, the vehicle lamp 1 is not limited to a combination lamp, and may be any of a single lamp that functions as a vehicle headlight, a single lamp that functions as a vehicle marker light, or a combination lamp, as long as it has a configuration with multiple light sources and multiple light guides.

[0016] In the following embodiment, a vehicle lamp 1 used as a combination lamp having the functions of a headlamp, a turn signal lamp, a daytime running lamp, and a clearance lamp will be described as an example.

[0017] In the following, the front, rear, up, down, left and right directions will be explained based on the vehicle on which the vehicle lamp 1 is installed. However, the front, rear, up, down, left and right directions shown below are for the convenience of explanation, and the present invention is not limited to these directions in terms of implementation.

[0018] The vehicle lamp 1 comprises a lamp housing 2 having an opening extending from the front to the side, and a cover 3 that closes the opening of the lamp housing 2 (see Figures 1 and 2). The lamp housing 2 and the cover 3 form a lamp outer casing 4, and the internal space of the lamp outer casing 4 is formed as a lamp chamber.

[0019] The lamp outer casing 4 is provided as a main part 4a that is inclined so that the part excluding the outer end in the left-right direction gradually displaces rearward as it moves from the inside to the outside in the left-right direction, and the outer end in the left-right direction is provided as an outer end part 4b that is formed in a shape that protrudes approximately rearward from the main part 4a.

[0020] The lamp housing 2 is provided with a retaining protrusion 5 on the inner side in the left-right direction (see FIG. 1). The retaining protrusion 5 is formed in a shape that protrudes substantially laterally inside the lamp outer casing 4, and has retaining grooves 5a that open to the sides and front.

[0021] The lamp housing 2 has a mounting hole 2a formed at the outer end in the left-right direction, penetrating substantially from front to back. A bracket mounting portion 6 is provided below the mounting hole 2a in the lamp housing 2. The lamp housing 2 has three mechanical connecting portions (not shown), and mechanical components that make up the aiming mechanism (described later) are attached to the mechanical connecting portions, respectively.

[0022] A bracket 7 is attached to the bracket attachment portion 6. The bracket 7 has a holding portion 8 at its upper end that protrudes substantially forward. A holding groove 8a is formed in the holding portion 8, which penetrates from left to right and opens forward.

[0023] A headlamp unit 9 that functions as a headlamp is disposed inside the main portion 4a of the lamp housing 4. The headlamp unit 9 has a holder 10, a plurality of light emitting portions 11, and a lamp cover 12.

[0024] The holder 10 has, for example, a main body 10a formed in a horizontally elongated shape, supported portions 10b, 10b, 10b each protruding in a predetermined direction from the main body 10a, and restricted protrusions 10c, 10c protruding to the left or right. The supported portions 10b, 10b, 10b of the holder 10 are supported on the lamp housing 2 so as to be tiltable in the up-down and left-right directions via mechanism components 13, 13, 13 that constitute the aiming mechanism, such as two adjusting screws or a pivot fulcrum. The mechanism components 13, 13, 13 are each connected to a mechanism connecting portion of the lamp housing 2 in a rotatable state, for example.

[0025] Therefore, when one adjusting screw is rotated, the headlight unit 9 is tilted in the vertical direction around the pivot fulcrum portion, thereby performing vertical aiming adjustment, and when the other adjusting screw is rotated, the headlight unit 9 is tilted in the left-right direction around the pivot fulcrum portion, thereby performing horizontal aiming adjustment.

[0026] One regulated protrusion 10c of the holder 10 is inserted into the retaining groove 5a of the retaining protrusion 5 provided on the lamp housing 2, and the other regulated protrusion 10c is inserted into the retaining groove 8a of the retaining portion 8 of the bracket 7 attached to the lamp housing 2. The vertical width of one regulated protrusion 10c and the vertical width of the retaining groove 5a are substantially the same, and the vertical width of the other regulated protrusion 10c and the vertical width of the retaining groove 8a are substantially the same. Therefore, for example, even if vibrations or the like that occur while the vehicle is traveling are transmitted to the headlight unit 9, the retaining protrusion 5 and the retaining portion 8 suppress vertical displacement of the headlight unit 9, making it less likely that the light distribution pattern of light irradiated outward from the light irradiating portion 11 of the headlight unit 9 will be disturbed, and light can be irradiated with an appropriate light distribution pattern regardless of the occurrence of vibrations while the vehicle is traveling.

[0027] Furthermore, since the regulated protrusions 10c, 10c are not fixed to the retaining protrusion 5 of the lamp housing 2 or the retaining portion 8 of the bracket 7, the headlight unit 9 can be tilted smoothly relative to the lamp housing 2 during aiming adjustment, and light can be emitted in an appropriate light distribution pattern without interfering with the aiming adjustment of the headlight unit 9, regardless of the occurrence of vibrations while the vehicle is traveling.

[0028] In the above, an example has been shown in which displacement of the headlight unit 9 is suppressed by inserting one regulated protrusion 10c into a retaining protrusion 5 that is part of the lamp housing 2 and the other regulated protrusion 10c into a bracket 7 attached to the lamp housing 2. However, for example, displacement of the headlight unit 9 may be suppressed by a configuration in which both regulated protrusions 10c, 10c are inserted into a part of the lamp housing 2, or by a configuration in which both regulated protrusions 10c, 10c are inserted into a member attached to the lamp housing 2.

[0029] The light emitting unit 11 has, for example, a light source, a reflector, a projection lens, etc. The light emitting units 11, 11 are attached to and held by the holder 10 in a state separated from each other on the left and right.

[0030] For example, two light irradiating units 11 are provided, one of which is used as a low beam light irradiating unit 11 and the other is used as a high beam light irradiating unit 11. Therefore, when a low beam is irradiated, light is irradiated from only one of the light irradiating units 11, and when a high beam is irradiated, light is irradiated from both the one light irradiating unit 11 and the other light irradiating unit 11.

[0031] The number of light irradiators 11 is not limited to two, and any number of light irradiators 11 may be used. Furthermore, the vehicle lamp 1 may use other types of light irradiators 11 in addition to the low beam light irradiator 11 and the high beam light irradiator 11. As the other light irradiators 11, for example, a type that has a plurality of light sources and functions as a so-called ADB (adaptive driving beam system) of a variable light distribution type that controls the turning on and off of each light source depending on the presence of oncoming vehicles, preceding vehicles, pedestrians, etc. may be used.

[0032] Two arrangement holes are formed in the lamp cover 12, spaced apart on the left and right. The lamp cover 12 is attached to the holder 10 from the front side. When the lamp cover 12 is attached to the holder 10, a portion of the light emitting units 11, 11 is arranged in each of the arrangement holes, and the portions of the light emitting units 11, 11 that are not arranged in the arrangement holes are shielded from the front by the lamp cover 12.

[0033] A marker light unit 14 is disposed inside the lamp housing 4, extending from the outer end 4b to the front end of the main part 4a (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The marker light unit 14 includes a heat sink 15, a circuit board 16, a first light source 17, a second light source 18, a shade 19, a first light guide 20, and a second light guide 21 (see FIGS. 1, 3, and 4).

[0034] The heat sink 15 is made of metal and has all its components integrally formed (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The heat sink 15 has a plate-shaped board mounting portion 22 facing the front-rear direction, heat dissipation fin portions 23, 23, ... protruding rearward from the board mounting portion 22, and a substantially annular peripheral wall portion 24 protruding forward from the board mounting portion 22.

[0035] A positioning pin 25, a positioning portion 26, and a light-shielding wall 27 protrude from the front surface of the board mounting portion 22. The positioning portion 26 is provided at a position continuous with the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 24. The light-shielding wall 27 is positioned between the positioning pin 25 and the positioning portion 26, and is formed, for example, in an arc shape.

[0036] Positioning recesses 28, 28, 28 are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction in the peripheral wall portion 24. The positioning recess 28 is open forward and is formed by a first restriction surface 28a facing forward, second restriction surfaces 28b, 28b that are continuous with both ends of the first restriction surface 28a in the circumferential direction and are perpendicular to the first restriction surface 28a, and guide surfaces 28c, 28c that are continuous with the front ends of the second restriction surfaces 28b, 28b and are gently inclined in directions that move away from each other as they extend forward (see FIG. 5).

[0037] The peripheral wall portion 24 is provided with outwardly protruding engaging projections 24a, 24a spaced apart in the circumferential direction (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

[0038] The heat sink 15 is attached to the lamp housing 2, for example, by screwing, with the peripheral wall portion 24 inserted from the rear into the mounting hole 2a of the lamp housing 2. When the heat sink 15 is attached to the lamp housing 2, the board mounting portion 22 and the heat dissipation fin portions 23, 23, ... are positioned on the rear side of the lamp housing 2.

[0039] The circuit board 16 is formed, for example, in the shape of a disk facing in the front-rear direction, and a circuit (not shown) is formed on the front surface of the circuit board 16. An insertion hole 16a and a positioning hole 16b are formed in the circuit board 16, each penetrating from front to back. A positioning notch 16c is formed in the outer periphery of the circuit board 16.

[0040] The circuit board 16 is positioned relative to the heat sink 15 by inserting the positioning pins 25 and the positioning portions 26 into the positioning holes 16b and the positioning notches 16c, respectively, and is then attached to the heat sink 15 by screws or the like (see FIG. 6). When attached to the heat sink 15, the circuit board 16 is positioned inside the peripheral wall portion 24, and the light-shielding wall 27 of the heat sink 15 is inserted into the insertion holes 16a.

[0041] The first light source 17 and the second light sources 18, 18 are mounted on the front surface of the circuit board 16 and connected to the circuit. The first light source 17 is used, for example, as a turn signal lamp, and the second light sources 18, 18 are used, for example, as daytime running lamps and clearance lamps. When the second light sources 18, 18 are used as daytime running lamps, they emit light with higher brightness than when they are used as clearance lamps.

[0042] The first light source 17 and the second light source 18 may be a single light source or multiple light sources. Although two second light sources 18 are provided, the number of second light sources 18 is arbitrary.

[0043] In a state in which the circuit board 16 is attached to the heat sink 15, the light-shielding wall 27 is positioned between the first light source 17 and the second light sources 18, 18 mounted on the circuit board 16. The first light source 17 and one of the second light sources 18 are positioned on opposite sides of the light-shielding wall 27 in the vicinity of the light-shielding wall 27, and the first light source 17 is positioned inside the light-shielding wall 27, which is formed in an arc shape.

[0044] In this way, in the vehicle lamp 1, the light-shielding wall 27 is positioned between the first light source 17 and the second light sources 18, 18, so that the light emitted from the first light source 17 is blocked by the light-shielding wall 27 and is less likely to head toward the second light sources 18, 18, and the light emitted from the second light sources 18, 18 is blocked by the light-shielding wall 27 and is less likely to head toward the first light source 17.

[0045] The shade 19 is made up of, for example, resin material, with each part integrally formed, and has an annular housing part 29, a base plate part 30 connected to the front end of the housing part 29, approximately cylindrical retaining tube parts 31, 31, 31 each connected to the base plate part 30, and elastically deformable engaging parts 32, 32 each protruding rearward from the housing part 29.

[0046] Positioning protrusions 33, 33, 33 protruding rearward are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction on the housing part 29. The positioning protrusion 33 has a first regulated surface 33a facing rearward and second regulated surfaces 33b, 33b that are continuous with both ends of the first regulated surface 33a in the circumferential direction and are perpendicular to the first regulated surface (see FIG. 5).

[0047] The shade 19 is positioned on the heat sink 15 by the positioning protrusions 33, 33, 33 being guided by the guide surfaces 28c, 28c, ... and inserted into the positioning recesses 28, 28, 28, respectively, and is attached to the heat sink 15 by the engagement portions 32, 32 engaging with the engagement protrusions 24a, 24a, respectively (see Figures 3 and 5).

[0048] The shade 19 is positioned in the front-to-rear direction relative to the heat sink 15 by pressing the first regulated surfaces 33a, 33a, 33a of the positioning protrusions 33, 33, 33 from the front against the first regulating surfaces 28a, 28a, 28a of the positioning recesses 28, 28, 28, respectively. The shade 19 is positioned in the circumferential direction relative to the heat sink 15 by bringing the second regulated surfaces 33b, 33b, ... of the positioning protrusions 33, 33, 33 into contact with or close to the second regulating surfaces 28b, 28b, ... of the positioning recesses 28, 28, 28, respectively.

[0049] Specifically, for example, the second regulated surfaces 33b, 33b of one positioning protrusion 33 are in contact with the second regulated surfaces 28b, 28b of one positioning recess 28 in the circumferential direction, respectively. Also, one second regulated surface 33b of another positioning protrusion 33 is in contact with one second regulated surface 28b of the positioning recess 28 in the circumferential direction, and the other second regulated surface 33b is positioned close to the other second regulated surface 28b of the positioning recess 28 in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, one second regulated surface 33b of another still further positioning protrusion 33 is in contact with one second regulated surface 28b of the positioning recess 28 in the circumferential direction, and the other second regulated surface 33b is positioned close to the other second regulated surface 28b of the positioning recess 28 in the circumferential direction.

[0050] When the shade 19 is attached to the heat sink 15, the engaging portions 32 slide over the engaging protrusions 24a, causing elastic deformation, and the engaging portions 32 elastically return to their original position, causing the engaging protrusions 24a to engage with the opening edges of the engaging holes 32a, thereby attaching the shade 19 to the heat sink 15. The attachment of the shade 19 to the heat sink 15 is performed simultaneously with the positioning of the shade 19 relative to the heat sink 15.

[0051] In this way, the shade 19 is attached to the heat sink 15 by the elastic engagement of the engagement portion 32 with the engagement protrusion 24a, so there is no need to perform screw fastening or other operations when attaching the shade 19 to the heat sink 15, and the shade 19 can be attached to the heat sink 15 easily and quickly.

[0052] Furthermore, since the attachment of the shade 19 to the heat sink 15 and the positioning of the shade 19 to the heat sink 15 are performed simultaneously, there is no need to perform the attachment and positioning of the shade 19 to the heat sink 15 as separate tasks, which improves workability and speeds up the work.

[0053] The first light guide 20 is formed, for example, in a substantially cylindrical shape and is formed in a shape extending along the inner surface of the cover 3 (see FIG. 1). One end of the first light guide 20 in the longitudinal direction is provided as a light incident portion 34, and the end face of the light incident portion 34 is formed as a light incident surface 34a. A total reflection step (not shown) is formed on the rear surface of the first light guide 20 except for a part of it. Therefore, light that is incident from the light incident surface 34a and guided inside the first light guide 20 is internally reflected by the total reflection step and is irradiated substantially forward.

[0054] The second light guide 21 has, for example, two substantially cylindrical light guide portions 35, 35 and a plurality of connecting portions 36 connecting the light guide portions 35, 35, and the light guide portions 35, 35 are formed in a shape that extends along the inner surface of the cover 3. Note that the second light guide 21 may be configured to have only one light guide portion 35, or may be configured to have three or more light guide portions 35.

[0055] In the second light guide 21, one end portion in the longitudinal direction of the light guide portions 35 is provided as light incident portions 37, and the end faces of the light incident portions 37 are formed as light incident surfaces 37a, respectively. A total reflection step (not shown) is formed on a portion of the rear surface of each of the light guide portions 35, except for a part of the rear surface. Therefore, light incident from the light incident surfaces 37a and guided inside the light guide portions 35 is internally reflected by the total reflection step and is irradiated substantially forward.

[0056] The light incident portion 34 of the first light guide 20 is inserted into the holding tube portion 31 of the shade 19, and the position restricting portions 31a, 31a, 31a are brought into contact with or close to the outer peripheral surface of the light incident portion 34, so that the position of the first light guide 20 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is restricted by the position restricting portions 31a, 31a, 31a (see FIG. 7). Furthermore, the position of the first light guide 20 in the longitudinal direction is restricted by other members such as a reflector (not shown), and the first light guide 20 is held by the shade 19.

[0057] When the first light guide 20 is held by the shade 19, the light incident portion 34 is positioned opposite the first light source 17 mounted on the circuit board 16 (see FIG. 8). At this time, the light incident portion 34 is positioned inside the light-shielding wall 27 formed in an arc shape.

[0058] In the second light guide 21, the light entrance portions 37, 37 of the light guide portions 35, 35 are inserted into the holding tube portions 31, 31 of the shade 19, and the position restricting portions 31 a, 31 a, ... are in contact with or close to the outer peripheral surfaces of the light entrance portions 37, 37, and the position in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is restricted by the position restricting portions 31 a, 31 a, ... (see FIG. 7). Furthermore, the light guide portions 35, 35 are held in the shade 19 with their positions in the longitudinal direction restricted by other members such as reflectors.

[0059] When the light guides 35 are held by the shade 19, the light incident portions 37 are positioned opposite the second light sources 18 mounted on the circuit board 16 (see FIG. 8). At this time, the light incident portions 37 are positioned separated from the light incident portion 34 of the first light guide 20 by the light-shielding wall 27.

[0060] In the vehicle lamp 1 configured as described above, when light is emitted from the first light source 17, the emitted light is incident on the light incident surface 34a into the first light guide 20, guided inside the first light guide 20, transmitted through the cover 3, and emitted substantially forward. At this time, light is emitted from the first light guide 20 as a turn signal lamp.

[0061] On the other hand, when light is emitted from the second light sources 18, the emitted light is incident from the light incident surfaces 37a, 37a, respectively, into the light guiding sections 35, 35 of the second light guide 21, guided inside the light guiding sections 35, 35, transmitted through the cover 3, and irradiated substantially forward. At this time, light is irradiated from the second light guide 21 as a daytime running lamp or a clearance lamp. Therefore, light with different functions is irradiated from the first light guide 20 and the second light guide 21.

[0062] As described above, the vehicle lamp 1 comprises a first light guide 20 that guides light emitted from the first light source 17, a second light guide 21 that guides light emitted from the second light source 18 and emits light that has a different function from the light emitted from the first light guide 20, and a light-shielding wall 27 positioned between the first light source 17 and the second light source 18.

[0063] Therefore, the light-shielding wall 27 blocks the light emitted from the first light source 17 from traveling toward the second light guide 21, and also blocks the light emitted from the second light source 18 from traveling toward the first light guide 20. As a result, the light emitted from the first light source 17 is unlikely to enter the second light guide 21, and the light emitted from the second light source 18 is unlikely to enter the first light guide 20. Therefore, the light emitted from the first light source 17 is not irradiated from the first light guide 20, and the light emitted from the second light source 18 is not irradiated from the first light guide 20, preventing a decrease in functionality and ensuring an appropriate light irradiation state.

[0064] Also provided is a heat sink 15 having a board mounting portion 22 to which a circuit board 16 is attached, an insertion hole 16a is formed in the circuit board 16, and a light-shielding wall 27 is positioned in a state where it is inserted into the insertion hole 16a.

[0065] Therefore, since the light-shielding wall 27 is positioned inside the outer periphery of the circuit board 16, the mounting positions of the first light source 17 and the second light source 18 on the circuit board 16 are not restricted, it is possible to ensure high design freedom regarding the positions of the first light source 17, the second light source 18, the first light guide 20, and the second light guide 21, while preventing light emitted from the first light source 17 from entering the second light guide 21 and preventing light emitted from the second light source 18 from entering the first light guide 20.

[0066] Furthermore, since the light-shielding wall 27 is provided as a part of the heat sink 15, there is no need to provide the light-shielding wall 27 as a separate member from other members, and the number of parts can be reduced.

[0067] Furthermore, a shade 19 is provided to hold the first light guide 20 and the second light guide 21 , and the shade 19 is attached to the heat sink 15 in a state where it is positioned relative to the heat sink 15 .

[0068] Therefore, the shade 19 holding the first light guide 20 and the second light guide 21 is attached in a positioned state to the heat sink 15 to which the circuit board 16 is attached, thereby ensuring high positional accuracy of the first light guide 20 and the second light guide 21 relative to the first light source 17 and the second light source 18.

[0069] In addition, the end of the first light guide 20 positioned opposite the first light source 17 is provided as a light incident portion 34, and at least a portion of the light incident portion 34 is covered from the surroundings by the light-shielding wall 27.

[0070] Therefore, the light incident on the first light guide 20 is blocked from traveling toward the second light guide 21, and the light incident on the second light guide 21 is blocked from traveling toward the first light guide 20 by the light-shielding wall 27, thereby ensuring the proper on / off state of the light in the vehicle lamp 1.
