[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings used in the following explanation, the dimensions of each component may be shown on a different scale to make them easier to see, and the dimensional ratios of each component may not necessarily be the same as in reality.

[0012] As an embodiment of the present invention, for example, a vehicle lighting device 1 shown in Figures 1 to 7 will be described. Figure 1 is a front view showing the configuration of a vehicle lighting unit 100 equipped with a vehicle lighting fixture 1. Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the vehicle lighting fixture 1. Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the vehicle lighting fixture 1 with the cover lens 4 omitted. Figure 4 is a front view showing the configuration of the vehicle lighting fixture 1 shown in Figure 3. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the vehicle lighting fixture 1 along the line segment AA shown in Figure 4. Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the vehicle lighting fixture 1 along the line segment BB shown in Figure 4. Figure 7 is a perspective view illustrating the mechanism of light emission by the vehicle lighting fixture 1.

[0013] Furthermore, in the drawings shown below, an XYZ Cartesian coordinate system is set, with the X-axis direction representing the front-to-back direction (length direction) of the vehicle light fixture 1, the Y-axis direction representing the left-to-right direction (width direction) of the vehicle light fixture 1, and the Z-axis direction representing the up-to-down direction (height direction) of the vehicle light fixture 1.

[0014] The vehicle lighting unit 1 of this embodiment is a vehicle lighting unit 100 that includes, for example, rear combination lamps RCL mounted on both corners at the rear end of a vehicle (not shown) as shown in Figure 1, and lid lamps LDL mounted on both sides of the vehicle's back gate or trunk lid, to which the present invention is applied to the tail lamps TLL1 and TLL2 that emit red light as functional lamps.

[0015] The rear combination lamp (RCL) and the lid lamp (LDL) are positioned side-by-side in the vehicle's width direction (Y-axis direction).

[0016] The rear combination lamp RCL includes, as functional lamps, a first tail lamp TLL1 that emits red light, a brake lamp BRL that emits red light, and a turn lamp TRL that emits orange light. The first tail lamp TLL1, brake lamp BRL, and turn lamp TRL are arranged in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) of the vehicle.

[0017] The lid lamp LDL has a second tail lamp TLL2 that emits red light and a reverse lamp BCL that emits white light as functional lamps. The second tail lamp TLL2 and the reverse lamp BCL are installed side by side in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

[0018] Furthermore, the first taillight TLL1 and the second taillight TLL2 are positioned side by side in the width direction of the vehicle between the rear combination lamp RCL and the lid lamp LDL.

[0019] The vehicle lighting fixture 1 of this embodiment is applied to the first tail lamp TLL1 and the second tail lamp TLL2 provided in the above-mentioned vehicle lighting fixture unit 100 (rear combination lamp RCL and lid lamp LDL).

[0020] Specifically, as shown in Figures 2 to 6, the vehicle lighting fixture 1 comprises a first light source 2a and a second light source 2b, a light guide 3, and a cover lens 4, and these are arranged inside the lighting body (not shown) that constitutes the rear combination lamp RCL and lid lamp LDL.

[0021] The light unit consists of a housing with an open front and a transparent outer lens that covers the opening in the housing. Furthermore, the shape of the light unit can be modified as appropriate to match the vehicle's design.

[0022] The first light source 2a and the second light source 2b are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the central axis AX of the light guide 3, which is perpendicular to one direction (the left-right direction in this embodiment) and is in another direction (the up-down direction in this embodiment).

[0023] The first light source 2a and the second light source 2b consist of, for example, LEDs that emit red light, and are mounted on one side (the front in this embodiment) of the circuit board 5 on which the drive circuit for driving these LEDs is provided. As a result, the first light source 2a and the second light source 2b each emit light L radially toward the front.

[0024] In this embodiment, one LED is provided for each of the first light source 2a and the second light source 2b. However, multiple LEDs may be provided for each of the first light source 2a and the second light source 2b, and this configuration can be appropriately changed according to the size of the light guide 3. Furthermore, the first light source 2a and the second light source 2b are not limited to being mounted on separate circuit boards 5, but may also be mounted on the same surface of the same circuit board 5.

[0025] In this embodiment, the LEDs constituting the first light source 2a and the second light source 2b described above, and the drive circuit for driving the LEDs are mounted on the circuit board 5. However, it is also possible to arrange the mounting board on which the LEDs are mounted and the circuit board on which the drive circuit for driving the LEDs is provided separately, and to electrically connect these mounting boards and the circuit board via a wiring cord called a harness to protect the drive circuit from the heat generated by the LEDs.

[0026] The light guide 3 is integrally formed by two-color molding of a light-transmitting member 31 made of a transparent resin such as polycarbonate or acrylic, and a light-diffusing material 32 in which inorganic particles P such as silica or calcium carbonate, or organic particles such as silicone or acrylic with a different refractive index from that of the light-transmitting member 31, are dispersed within the transparent resin. Furthermore, the same transparent resin is used for both the light-transmitting member 31 and the light-diffusing material 32 so that they have the same refractive index.

[0027] The light guide 3 has a pair of first light guide sections 3a extending in a rod shape in the front-to-back direction and a second light guide section 3b extending in a rod shape in the left-to-right direction, with the second light guide section 3b connecting (linking) the front ends of the pair of first light guide sections 3a. Furthermore, the light guide 3 has a symmetrical shape with respect to its central axis AX.

[0028] Furthermore, the light guide 3 has an incident portion 6 positioned at the rear end of each first light guide portion 3a, a reflecting portion 7 positioned between the front end of each first light guide portion 3a and both ends of the second light guide portion, and a plurality of light-emitting portions 8 arranged in a single direction between one end and the other end of the second light guide portion.

[0029] The incident section 6 is positioned opposite each of the first light source 2a and the second light source 2b, and is composed of a flat incident surface 6a that directs the light L emitted from each of the light sources 2a and 2b into the interior of each first light guide section 3a.

[0030] As a result, the light L that enters the interior of the first light guide section 3a from each incident surface 6a is guided towards the front end of each first light guide section 3a while repeatedly reflecting within the interior of each first light guide section 3a.

[0031] Furthermore, the incident portion 6 is not limited to the incident surface 6a described above; for example, it may be a lens shape that parallelizes or focuses the light L emitted from the first light source 2a and the second light source 2b as it enters the interior of each first light guide portion 3a.

[0032] The reflective section 7 is composed of reflective surfaces 7a that are inclined at a predetermined angle (45° with respect to the central axis of the first light guide section 3a in this embodiment) toward the front end of each first light guide section 3a facing each other.

[0033] As a result, the light L reflected by each reflective surface 7a is guided toward the opposite directions of the second light guide section 3b. That is, one light L emitted from the first light source 2a is guided toward the other end of the second light guide section 3b while repeatedly reflecting within it. On the other hand, the other light L emitted from the second light source 2b is guided toward the first end of the second light guide section 3b while repeatedly reflecting within it.

[0034] Multiple light-emitting units 8 are formed in a block shape using a light-diffusing material 32. This allows each light-emitting unit 8 to emit light in a block shape by diffusing (scattering) light L with particles P within the light-diffusing material 32.

[0035] Furthermore, the light diffusing material 32 has a first connecting portion 9 that connects adjacent light-emitting portions 8. The first connecting portion 9 connects adjacent light-emitting portions 8, at least a portion of the light-emitting portions 8 excluding the front side (in this embodiment, the back side).

[0036] Although the first connecting portion 9 is formed of the same light-diffusing material 32 as the light-emitting portion 8, it is considerably smaller than the light-emitting portion 8 and is located on the back side of the light-emitting portion 8. Therefore, when the light-emitting portion 8 is emitting light, it is possible to suppress the emission and visibility of the first connecting portion 9 (make it less noticeable).

[0037] On the other hand, the light-transmitting member 31 has a transmissive portion 10 positioned between adjacent light-emitting portions 8, and a second connecting portion 11 that connects adjacent transmissive portions 10.

[0038] The transmissive portion 10 is formed in a block shape using a light diffusing material 32, and multiple transmissive portions are arranged in a line in one direction between one end and the other end of the second light guide portion 3b. As a result, the light-emitting portion 8 and the transmissive portion 10 are arranged alternately in one direction of the second light guide portion 3b.

[0039] The second connecting portion 11 connects at least a portion of the transparent portions 10 (in this embodiment, the front side) between adjacent transparent portions 10.

[0040] The cover lens 4 is made of a transparent resin such as polycarbonate or acrylic, and has a shape that covers the top surface, front surface, and both sides of the light guide 3. The cover lens 4 is not limited to being colorless and transparent; it may also be red and transparent.

[0041] In the vehicle lamp 1 of this embodiment, which has the above configuration, as shown in Figure 7, the light L guided inside the second light guide section 3b sequentially passes between the light-transmitting section 10 and the light-emitting section 8, causing the light-emitting section 8, formed by the light-diffusing material 32, to emit red light in a block-like pattern.

[0042] As a result, the vehicle light fixture 1 of this embodiment can create a three-dimensional effect of light emission. Furthermore, by emitting red light in a block-like pattern from multiple light-emitting units 8, it is possible to create the appearance of multiple light sources being illuminated.

[0043] Furthermore, in the vehicle lighting device 1 of this embodiment, the second light guide section 3b, in which the light-emitting section 8 and the light-transmitting section 10 are arranged alternately, is positioned to protrude forward via a pair of first light guide sections 3a, thereby making it possible to create a floating effect of light, as if multiple light-emitting sections 8 are floating.

[0044] Furthermore, in the vehicle lighting device 1 of this embodiment, the cover lens 4 described above covers the light guide 3, making the shape of the light guide 3 less noticeable when the light is not illuminated, thereby improving the appearance when the light is not illuminated.

[0045] As described above, in the vehicle lighting device 1 of this embodiment, by arranging a light-emitting section 8 formed in a block shape by a light-diffusing material 32 in a part of the light-transmitting member 31 that constitutes the second light-guiding section 3b (light-guide body 3) described above, it is possible to create a sense of three-dimensionality and floating in the light emission.

[0046] 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. For example, the light-emitting section 8 may be configured to include a diffusion section 12 for diffusing the light L emitted from the light-emitting section 8 toward the outside, as shown in Figure 8. The diffusion section 12 is formed by applying fine irregularities such as cuts or textured finishes to the surface of the light-emitting section 8. This makes it possible to further emphasize the outline of the block-shaped light-emitting section 8 when it emits light.

[0047] Furthermore, the first connecting portion 9 is not limited to the configuration in which the back sides of adjacent light-emitting portions 8 are connected as described above, but may also be configured as shown in Figures 9(A) and (B). Of these, the first connecting portion 9 shown in Figure 9(A) is configured to connect the undersides of adjacent light-emitting portions 8. On the other hand, the first connecting portion 9 shown in Figure 9(B) is configured to connect a portion of the underside of adjacent light-emitting portions 8.

[0048] Thus, although the first connecting portion 9 is necessary when two-color molding the light-transmitting member 31 and the light-diffusing material 32 as described above, by devising its shape and arrangement, it is possible to suppress (make less conspicuous) the first connecting portion 9 from emitting light and being visible when the light-emitting portion 8 is illuminated.

[0049] The light guide 3 is not necessarily limited to a two-color molded body made of the light-transmitting member 31 and the light-diffusing material 32 described above. For example, it may be made by separately forming a light-transmitting portion 10 made of the light-transmitting member 31 and a light-emitting portion 8 made of the light-diffusing material 32 and then combining them.

[0050] Furthermore, the shape of the light-emitting part 8 can be appropriately changed to match the design of the actual vehicle, for example, it can be shaped as shown in Figures 10(A) and (B). Of these, the light-emitting part 8 shown in Figure 10(A) is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape. On the other hand, the light-emitting part 8 shown in Figure 10(B) is formed in a triangular prism shape.

[0051] Furthermore, the shape of the light guide 3 can be appropriately modified to match the design of the actual vehicle. For example, as a first modification, as shown in Figure 11, the reflective surface 7a (reflective part 7) positioned between the pair of first light guides 3a and the second light guide 3b may be omitted, and the pair of first light guides 3a and the second light guide 3b may be connected in a straight line.

[0052] Furthermore, as a second modification, as shown in Figure 12, the reflective surface 7a (reflective part 7) positioned between the pair of first light guides 3a and the second light guide 3b described above may be omitted, and the first light guide 3a may be connected toward the second light guide 3b while curving.

[0053] Furthermore, as a third modification, as shown in Figure 13, one of the pair of first light guides 3a described above may be omitted, and the light L emitted from the light source 2 may be entered into the first light guide 3a from the incident surface 6a (incident part 6), and then guided from one end to the other end of the second light guide 3b.

[0054] In this configuration, it is preferable to vary the size of the light-emitting units 8 according to the distance from the light source 2 of the light L guided from one end to the other end of the second light-guiding unit 3b, so that differences in the optical path length of the light L guided from one end to the other end of the second light-guiding unit 3b do not cause differences in the amount of light (brightness) of the light L diffused and emitted from the multiple light-emitting units 8.

[0055] Specifically, it is preferable to gradually increase the width of the light-emitting section 8 as the distance from the light source 2 increases. This makes it possible to equalize the amount of light (brightness) of the light L diffused and emitted from the multiple light-emitting sections 8 between one end and the other end of the second light guide section 3b.

[0056] Furthermore, as a fourth modification, the light guide 3D shown in Figure 14 may be configured such that the second connecting portion 11 and the transmissive portion 10 are provided with a plurality of reflection cuts 13 that reflect the light L guided from one end to the other of the second light guide portion 3b toward the light-emitting portion 8.

[0057] In this embodiment, a plurality of reflection cuts 13 are provided on the back side of the second connecting portion 11 and the transmissive portion 10 to reflect the light L guided from one end to the other of the second light guide portion 3b toward the light-emitting portion 8 located on the front side of the second light guide portion 3b.

[0058] Multiple reflection cuts 13 are formed by grooves with a roughly V-shaped cross-section that are cut out in other directions (up and down) of the second light guide portion 3b, and which are periodically arranged in one direction (left and right) of the second light guide portion 3b.

[0059] The light guide 3D is configured such that multiple reflection cuts 13 are arranged on the light-transmitting member 31, with a second connecting portion 11 connecting the back sides of adjacent transmissive portions 10. On the other hand, the first connecting portion 9 connects the lower sides of adjacent light-emitting portions 8, as shown in Figure 9(A) above.

[0060] Furthermore, the second connecting portion 11 is not necessarily limited to the configuration in which the back sides of adjacent transparent portions 10 are connected as described above; any configuration in which the sides of adjacent transparent portions 10 other than the front sides of the transparent portions 10 are connected is acceptable. Therefore, multiple reflection cuts 13 can be provided on the second connecting portion 11 and on the sides of the transparent portions 10 other than the front sides.

[0061] In this configuration, it is preferable to vary the size of the multiple reflection cuts 13 according to the distance of the light L guided from one end to the other end of the second light guide 3b from the light source 2, so that differences in the optical path length of the light L guided from one end to the other end of the second light guide 3b do not cause differences in the amount of light L diffused and emitted from the multiple light-emitting parts 8.

[0062] Specifically, it is preferable to gradually increase the depth of the grooves constituting the multiple reflection cuts 13 as the distance from the light source 2 increases. This makes it possible to equalize the amount of light (brightness) of the light L diffused and emitted from the multiple light-emitting parts 8 between one end and the other end of the second light guide part 3b.

[0063] Furthermore, as a fifth modification, the configuration may include a light-shielding member 33 that covers at least the first connecting portion 9, as shown in Figures 15(A) and (B), with the light guide 3E.

[0064] The light-shielding member 33 is made of a resin such as polycarbonate or acrylic containing a light-shielding pigment (for example, black). The light guide 3E is integrally formed by three-color molding of the light-transmitting member 31, the light-diffusing material 32, and the light-shielding member 33. Note that the light-shielding member 33 is not limited to being integrally formed with the light-transmitting member 31 and the light-diffusing material 32 described above, but may be formed separately.

[0065] The first connecting portion 9 connects the upper surfaces of adjacent light-emitting portions 8. The light-shielding member 33 is positioned to cover the area of ​​the light guide 3E that overlaps with the first connecting portion 9 in a front view, and the entire upper surface of the light guide 3E.

[0066] This prevents the first connecting portion 9 from being visible when the light-emitting portion 8 is illuminated by the light-shielding member 33, and makes it possible to create a floating effect of light emitted by multiple light-emitting portions 8.

[0067] Furthermore, the light guide of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of rod-shaped light guides (light guide rods) 3, 3A to 3E extending in one direction (left-right direction) as described above. As a sixth modification, for example, as shown in Figure 16, the light guide 3F may be a plate-shaped light guide (light guide plate) that extends in one direction (left-right direction) and also in another direction (up-down direction) perpendicular to that direction.

[0068] Specifically, the light guide 3F has a plate-like shape with the aforementioned rod-shaped light guide 3 extending in the vertical direction. In this configuration, multiple first light sources 2a and second light sources 2b are arranged in a vertical direction.

[0069] This makes it possible to create a sense of three-dimensionality and floating in the light emission by illuminating multiple light-emitting parts 8 that extend vertically in the plate-shaped light guide 3F.

[0070] In the above embodiments, the application of the present invention to the tail lamps TLL1 and TLL2 described above is illustrated as an example. However, the vehicle lighting equipment to which the present invention can be applied is not limited to the tail lamps described above. For example, the present invention can be applied to a wide range of vehicle lighting equipment, such as headlights, position lamps, auxiliary headlights, front (rear) fog lamps, daytime running lamps, brake lamps (stop lamps), reverse lamps, turn signals, etc.

[0071] Furthermore, for the first light source 2a and the second light source 2b described above, in addition to the LEDs mentioned above, light-emitting elements such as laser diodes (LDs) can also be used. Also, the color of the light emitted by the light source is not limited to the red light described above; it can be changed to white light, orange light, or other colors as appropriate, depending on the application of the vehicle lighting device.
