Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a light device for a saddle-ride type vehicle and a saddle-ride type vehicle provided with the light device.
Background
Conventionally, a light device is provided in a front cowl of a saddle-ride type vehicle such as a scooter type motorcycle. In a saddle-ride type vehicle, unlike an automobile, downsizing of a lighting device is strongly demanded. As a small-sized lighting device, a lighting device in which both a position light and a turn signal lamp are disposed in the same housing is known. In addition, in such a lighting device, in order to achieve further miniaturization, a technique is known in which an elongated light guide body is used as a contour light and the light guide body is arranged along an outer edge portion of an outer lens (see, for example, japanese patent application laid-open No. 2012 and 243452).
Since the outline marker lamp and the turn signal lamp do not function in the same manner, it is undesirable that the light of the outline marker lamp and the light of the turn signal lamp interfere with each other. It is desirable to be able to clearly distinguish between the light of the contour light and the light of the turn signal light. However, in the conventional lighting device described above, since the light guide is close to the reflector for the winker lamp, there is a problem that the light of the position light and the light of the winker lamp easily interfere with each other.
Disclosure of Invention
Accordingly, the present inventors studied the following configuration: as shown in fig. 10, inside the housing 101, a light guide 102 as a contour light is made to follow the outer edge portion of the outer lens 103, and the light guide 102 and a reflector 105 for a turn signal lamp 104 are made to be as far apart as possible. However, it is known that: in such a configuration, although interference of the light guide 102 with the light of the turn signal lamp 104 can be suppressed, a portion (a portion indicated by hatching) 106 that is darkened is generated near the central portion of the outer lens 103.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a compact light device for a saddle-ride type vehicle, which can suppress interference between light of a position light and light of a turn signal lamp and can ensure brightness in the vicinity of a center portion.
The light device for saddle-ride type vehicle according to the present invention is a light device mounted on a front cover of a saddle-ride type vehicle. The lighting device includes: a housing; a turn signal lamp fixed to the housing; a position light secured to the housing; and a lens disposed in front of the turn signal lamp and the position light and fixed to the housing. The turn signal lamp is provided with: the steering signal lamp comprises a reflector arranged on the shell and a steering signal lamp light source arranged in front of the reflector. The clearance lamp is provided with: a 1 st light source disposed inward in a vehicle width direction and upward in a vehicle vertical direction with respect to the turn signal light source; a 2 nd light source disposed outside the turn signal light source in the vehicle width direction and below the turn signal light source in the vehicle vertical direction; a radiation-like light guide disposed at a position away from the reflecting mirror, the light guide including: the light source device comprises a 1 st rod-shaped part with a 1 st end surface opposite to the 1 st light source, a 2 nd rod-shaped part with a 2 nd end surface opposite to the 2 nd light source, and a 3 rd rod-shaped part integrated with the 1 st rod-shaped part and the 2 nd rod-shaped part.
According to the above-described lighting device, the turn signal lamp and the position light are fixed to the same housing. The same lens is disposed in front of the turn signal lamp and the position light. Therefore, the light device can be made smaller than a light device in which a dedicated housing and a lens are provided for each of the turn signal lamp and the position light. In the lighting device, the 1 st rod-shaped portion of the light guide receives the light emitted from the 1 st light source and emits light. The 2 nd rod-like portion receives the light emitted from the 2 nd light source and emits light. The 3 rd rod-shaped part receives the light passing through the 1 st rod-shaped part and the 2 nd rod-shaped part and emits light. The 1 st light source and the 2 nd light source of the position light are arranged at positions apart from the turn signal light source. The light guide of the position light is disposed at a position away from the reflector of the turn signal lamp. Therefore, interference between the light of the contour light and the light of the turn signal light is suppressed. In addition, the light guide is formed in a radial shape. Therefore, the central portion of the light guide body is brightened, and therefore, the vicinity of the central portion of the lighting device can be brightened. As described above, it is possible to obtain a compact lighting device capable of suppressing interference between the light of the outline marker lamp and the light of the turn signal lamp and ensuring a brightness near the center portion.
According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the 1 st rod-like portion includes: a 1 st end having the 1 st end face, and a 2 nd end. The 2 nd rod-shaped part includes: a 3 rd end portion having the 2 nd end face, and a 4 th end portion. The 3 rd rod-shaped part has a 5 th end and a 6 th end. The 2 nd end of the 1 st rod-shaped portion, the 4 th end of the 2 nd rod-shaped portion, and the 6 th end of the 3 rd rod-shaped portion are connected.
According to the above technical solution, a suitable technical solution of the light guide body can be obtained.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light guide is formed in a Y shape.
According to the above technical solution, a suitable technical solution of the light guide body can be obtained.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, an angle formed by the 1 st rod-shaped part and the 2 nd rod-shaped part is less than 90 degrees; an angle formed by the 2 nd rod-shaped part and the 3 rd rod-shaped part is more than or equal to 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees; the angle formed by the 3 rd rod-shaped part and the 1 st rod-shaped part is more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.
According to the above technical means, the central portion can be ensured to be bright, and a wide range can be uniformly illuminated.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the length of the 1 st rod-like part is longer than the length of the 2 nd rod-like part; the 2 nd rod-shaped part has a length longer than that of the 3 rd rod-shaped part.
According to the above technical solution, a suitable technical solution of the light guide body can be obtained.
According to another preferred aspect of the present invention, the light guide body is disposed at a position away from the reflecting mirror when viewed from a vehicle front side of the saddle-type vehicle.
According to the above-described aspect, interference between the light of the contour light and the light of the turn signal light can be further suppressed.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the 1 st light source and the 2 nd light source is an LED.
According to the above-described configuration, the 1 st light source and the 2 nd light source can be downsized. Therefore, the lighting device can be further miniaturized.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the 1 st rod-shaped portion, the 2 nd rod-shaped portion, and the 3 rd rod-shaped portion have knurled sections in which a plurality of linear step differences extending in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction are arranged in the axial direction.
According to the above-described configuration, the light from the 1 st light source and the 2 nd light source can be diffused by the knurled sections of the 1 st rod-shaped section, the 2 nd rod-shaped section, and the 3 rd rod-shaped section. Therefore, a wide range can be uniformly illuminated.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the 1 st rod-shaped portion and the 2 nd rod-shaped portion have 1 st and 2 nd knurled portions each having a plurality of linear step differences extending in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, which are arranged in the axial direction. The 1 st and 2 nd knurled sections have a cross-sectional contour formed in an arc shape. A perpendicular line perpendicular to a straight line connecting one end and the other end of the contour of the cross section of the 1 st knurled portion and a perpendicular line perpendicular to a straight line connecting one end and the other end of the contour of the cross section of the 2 nd knurled portion are not parallel to each other.
According to the above technical solution, the two perpendicular lines are not parallel to each other, so that it is possible to suppress a large difference in luminance of the light guide body due to the observation direction. Therefore, the visibility of the light guide can be improved.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the 1 st rod-shaped portion and the 2 nd rod-shaped portion each have a 1 st knurled portion and a 2 nd knurled portion which are formed by arranging a plurality of linear step differences extending in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction in the axial direction. The 1 st and 2 nd knurled sections have a circular-arc-shaped cross-sectional profile. The angle of the angle formed by the profile of the cross section of the 1 st knurled part is different from the angle formed by the profile of the cross section of the 2 nd knurled part.
According to the above-described aspect, since the angles of the two outlines are different, it is possible to suppress a large difference in luminance of the light guide body depending on the observation direction.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outline marker lamp includes a plurality of light sources including the 1 st light source and the 2 nd light source. The light guide has a plurality of rod-shaped portions including the 1 st rod-shaped portion, the 2 nd rod-shaped portion, and the 3 rd rod-shaped portion. The number of the plurality of light sources is smaller than the number of the plurality of rod-shaped portions.
Since the light guide body is formed in a radial shape, even if the number of light sources is smaller than the number of rod-shaped portions, light can be guided to all the rod-shaped portions. Therefore, the entire light guide can be made to emit light. According to the technical scheme, the number of the light sources is small, so that the lighting device can be further miniaturized.
According to another preferred aspect of the present invention, a radial groove is formed in the housing; a portion of the light guide is embedded in the groove.
According to the above-described technical solution, light does not diffuse from the portion of the light guide body fitted into the groove. Therefore, the portion of the light guide body located outside the groove can be brightly illuminated. Therefore, visibility of the light guide can be improved. In addition, the light guide is inhibited from protruding outward of the case. Therefore, the lighting device can be further miniaturized.
According to another preferred aspect of the present invention, the housing has a portion having a lower reflectance than the mirror; the light guide body is fixed to the portion.
According to the above-described configuration, since light of the light guide is hard to reflect, the shape of the light guide can be clearly viewed. This can further suppress interference between the light of the position light and the light of the turn signal.
According to another preferred aspect of the present invention, the housing includes: a convex portion arranged on an extension line of the 1 st rod-shaped portion and beside the 1 st end surface, and a convex portion arranged on an extension line of the 2 nd rod-shaped portion and beside the 2 nd end surface.
According to the above-described configuration, the light leakage from the 1 st end face and the 2 nd end face can be prevented by the convex portion. This can suppress interference between the light of the position light and the light of the turn signal lamp.
The saddle-ride type vehicle according to the present invention is a saddle-ride type vehicle including the lighting device.
This makes it possible to obtain a saddle-ride type vehicle having the above-described effects.
According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a compact light device for a saddle-ride type vehicle that can ensure brightness in the vicinity of the center portion while suppressing interference between the light of the outline marker lamp and the light of the turn signal lamp.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in fig. 1, a light device 10 for a saddle-ride type vehicle according to the present embodiment is provided in a scooter type (scooter) motorcycle 1. The "saddle-ride type vehicle" herein means a vehicle in which a passenger straddles the saddle. The scooter type motorcycle 1 is an example of a saddle type vehicle, but the saddle type vehicle is not limited to the scooter type motorcycle 1, and may be another type motorcycle. The saddle-ride type vehicle may be a vehicle other than a motorcycle.
In the following description, the terms front, rear, left, right, up and down mean front, rear, left, right, up and down, respectively, as viewed from a passenger seated on a seat 2 of a motorcycle 1. The up and down correspond to the up and down in the vertical direction of the motorcycle 1 in a state where the horizontal plane is stationary, respectively. Reference symbols F, Re, L, R, U, and D in the drawings respectively represent front, rear, left, right, upper, and lower. However, the above-described directions are merely directions for convenience of explanation, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The motorcycle 1 includes a seat 2, a front wheel 3, a rear wheel 4, a handle 5, a power unit 6, and a floor-low step 8. The power unit 6 has an engine and a V-type continuously variable transmission, which are not shown. The power unit 6 is swingably supported by a vehicle body frame, not shown. The motorcycle 1 includes a head cover 9 and a front cover 7. The front cover 7 is disposed below the head cover 9. At least a part of the front cover 7 is disposed above the front wheel 3. A headlight 9A is attached to the head cover 9. The lighting device 10 is mounted to the front cover 7.
As shown in fig. 2, the motorcycle 1 includes a left lighting device 10 and a right lighting device 10. The left light 10 and the right light 10 are away from each other. The left light device 10 is disposed to the left of the vehicle center line CL, and the right light device 10 is disposed to the right of the vehicle center line CL. The left light device 10 and the right light device 10 have a shape that is bilaterally symmetrical with respect to the vehicle center line CL, and are disposed at bilaterally symmetrical positions. Therefore, the structure of the left lighting device 10 will be described below, and the structure of the right lighting device 10 will not be described. In fig. 1 and 2, the lens 80 described later is not shown in the left lamp 10 in order to understand the internal structure of the lamp 10.
The lighting device 10 is disposed inside the opening 7a formed in the front cover 7. The lighting device 10 is inclined so as to be directed upward toward the outside in the vehicle width direction when the vehicle is viewed in front view. Here, the vehicle width direction is a vehicle lateral direction. The left lighting device 10 includes, when a vehicle is viewed from the front: a left lower edge 10a extending obliquely upward to the left from a lower end 10b, a 1 st left edge 10d extending obliquely upward to the left from an upper end 10c of the left lower edge 10a, a 2 nd left edge 10f extending obliquely upward to the right from an upper end 10e of the 1 st left edge 10d, and a right edge 10g extending obliquely downward to the right from an upper end 10t of the 2 nd left edge 10 f. The upper end 10t of the 2 nd left edge 10f is also the upper end of the lighting device 10. The right edge 10g intersects the left lower edge 10a at the lower end 10 b.
The 1 st left edge 10d is more inclined than the left lower edge 10 a. That is, the angle θ 2 of the 1 st left edge 10d with respect to the horizontal line is larger than the angle θ 1 of the left lower edge 10a with respect to the horizontal line. The left lighting device 10 is formed such that, when the vehicle is viewed in front view, the lateral width decreases toward the lower right and the lateral width decreases toward the upper left. When the vehicle is viewed in front elevation, the right edge 10g is longer than the 1 st left edge 10d, the 1 st left edge 10d is longer than the left lower edge 10a, and the left lower edge 10a is longer than the 2 nd left edge 10 f. However, the above-described shape of the lighting device 10 when the vehicle is viewed from the front is merely an example, and is not particularly limited.
As shown in fig. 1, when the vehicle is viewed in side view, the left lower edge 10a, the 1 st left edge 10d, the 2 nd left edge 10f, and the right edge 10g of the left lamp 10 are all inclined so as to be directed upward toward the rear. The angles with respect to the horizontal line are increased in the order of the lower left edge 10a, the right edge 10g, the 1 st left edge 10d, and the 2 nd left edge 10 f. The length of the vehicle in side view is longer in the order of the 2 nd left edge 10f, the left lower edge 10a, the 1 st left edge 10d, and the right edge 10 g. The left lighting device 10 is formed such that the lateral width decreases obliquely forward and downward and the lateral width decreases obliquely rearward and upward when the vehicle is viewed in a side view. However, the above-described shape of the lighting device 10 when the vehicle is viewed from the side is merely an example, and is not particularly limited.
As shown in fig. 2, in the left lamp unit 10, the lower end 10b is the inner end in the vehicle width direction, and the upper end 10e of the 1 st left edge 10d is the outer end in the vehicle width direction. The vehicle-width-direction inner end 10b of the lighting device 10 is located inward in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle-width-direction outer end 9b of the headlight 9A. The vehicle-width-direction outer end 10e of the lighting device 10 is located outward in the vehicle width direction from the vehicle-width-direction outer end 9b of the headlight 9A. In the left lighting device 10, the right end 10b is located to the right of the left end 9b of the headlight 9A, and the left end 10e is located to the left of the left end 9b of the headlight 9A.
As shown in fig. 1, in the left lamp device 10, the lower end 10b is the front end in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and the upper end 10t is the rear end in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The front end 10b of the lighting device 10 is located forward of the center 3c of the front wheel 3, and the rear end 10t of the lighting device 10 is located rearward of the center 3 c. The rear end 10t of the lighting device 10 is located rearward of the front end 9A of the headlight 9A. The lower end 10b of the lighting device 10 is located below the lower end 2b of the seat 2, and the upper end 10t of the lighting device 10 is located above the lower end 2b of the seat 2. The upper end 10t of the lighting device 10 is located below the upper end 2t of the seat 2.

The 1 st convex portion 33a becomes thinner toward the opposite side of the 1 st rod-like portion 71. As shown in fig. 8, the radial length of the 1 st rod-like portion 71 is equal to or less than the radial length of the 1 st convex portion 33 a. The 1 st convex portion 33a protrudes outward from the 1 st rod 71, or the protruding length of the 1 st convex portion 33a is equal to the protruding length of the 1 st rod 71. Thereby, the 1 st end surface 75 of the 1 st rod-like portion 71 is hidden by the 1 st convex portion 33 a. In addition, the step difference between the 1 st end 81 of the 1 st rod-like portion 71 and the 2 nd housing 22 is suppressed to be small. This can improve visibility of the 1 st rod-like portion 71 during light emission.
As shown in fig. 4, the 2 nd convex portion 33b of the 2 nd case 22 is arranged on the extension line of the 2 nd rod-like portion 72 and beside the 2 nd end face 76 (see fig. 6). The 2 nd convex portion 33b becomes thinner toward the opposite side of the 2 nd rod-like portion 72. As shown in fig. 8, the radial length of the 2 nd bar-like part 72 is equal to or less than the radial length of the 2 nd convex part 33 b. As shown in fig. 4, the 3 rd convex portion 33c of the 2 nd case 22 is arranged on the extension line of the 3 rd rod-shaped portion 73 and beside the 3 rd end surface 74 (see fig. 6). The 3 rd convex portion 33c becomes thinner toward the opposite side of the 3 rd rod-like portion 73. As shown in fig. 9, the radial length of the 3 rd rod-like portion 73 is equal to or less than the radial length of the 3 rd convex portion 33 c. This improves visibility of the 2 nd rod-shaped portion 72 and the 3 rd rod-shaped portion 73 during light emission, as in the case of the 1 st rod-shaped portion 71.
The material of the light guide 70 is not particularly limited, but in the present embodiment, it is formed of a colorless and transparent resin. As shown in fig. 7, the light guide 70 has a knurled portion 77 in which a plurality of linear step differences extending in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction are arranged in the axial direction. The knurled portion 77 serves to diffuse light irradiated to the light guide 70. In fig. 6, the knurled portion 77 is not shown. As shown in fig. 8, the 1 st rod-shaped portion 71 has a 1 st knurled portion 77a, and the 2 nd rod-shaped portion 72 has a 2 nd knurled portion 77 b. The contour 78 of the cross section of the 1 st knurled portion 77a and the contour 79 of the cross section of the 2 nd knurled portion 77b are formed in arc shapes. A perpendicular line 78d perpendicular to a straight line 78c connecting one end 78a and the other end 78b of the contour 78 of the cross section of the 1 st knurled portion 77a and a perpendicular line 79d perpendicular to a straight line 79c connecting one end 79a and the other end 79b of the contour 79 of the cross section of the 2 nd knurled portion 77b are not parallel to each other. That is, perpendicular 78d is not parallel to perpendicular 79 d. In addition, an angle β 1 of an angle formed by the contour 78 of the cross section of the 1 st knurled part 77a is different from an angle β 2 of an angle formed by the contour 79 of the cross section of the 2 nd knurled part 77 b.
The 3 rd bar-shaped portion 73 has a 3 rd knurled portion 77 c. As shown in fig. 9, the 3 rd knurled portion 77c has an arcuate contour 89 in cross section. A perpendicular line 79d perpendicular to a straight line 79c connecting one end 79a and the other end 79b of the contour 79 of the cross section of the 2 nd knurled portion 77b and a perpendicular line 89d perpendicular to a straight line 89c connecting one end 89a and the other end 89b of the contour 89 of the cross section of the 3 rd knurled portion 77c may be non-parallel to each other. A perpendicular line 89d perpendicular to a straight line 89c connecting one end 89a and the other end 89b of the contour 89 of the cross section of the 3 rd knurled portion 77c and a perpendicular line 78d perpendicular to a straight line 78c connecting one end 78a and the other end 78b of the contour 78 of the cross section of the 1 st knurled portion 77a may be non-parallel to each other. In addition, an angle β 2 of an angle formed by the contour 79 of the cross section of the 2 nd knurled part 77b may be different from an angle β 3 of an angle formed by the contour 89 of the cross section of the 3 rd knurled part 77 c. An angle β 3 of an angle formed by the contour 89 of the cross section of the 3 rd knurled part 77c may be different from an angle β 1 of an angle formed by the contour 78 of the cross section of the 1 st knurled part 77 a.
As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the center portion 88 of the light guide 70 is disposed inward in the vehicle width direction of the reflector 42 of the turn signal lamp 40 when the vehicle is viewed in front elevation. Further, the center portion 88 of the light guide 70 is disposed below the mirror 42 when the vehicle is viewed from the front. When the vehicle is viewed from the front, the 1 st rod portion 71 of the light guide 70 is disposed inward in the vehicle width direction from the mirror 42. The 1 st rod-like portion 71 is disposed below the upper end of the mirror 42 when the vehicle is viewed in front elevation. When the vehicle is viewed from the front, a part of the 1 st rod-like portion 71 is disposed above the lower end of the mirror 42. The 2 nd rod-like portion 72 is disposed below the mirror 42 when the vehicle is viewed from the front. The 2 nd rod-like portion 72 is disposed inward of the outer end of the mirror 42 in the vehicle width direction when the vehicle is viewed in front elevation. When the vehicle is viewed in front elevation, a part of the 2 nd rod-like portion 72 is disposed outward of the inner end of the mirror 42 in the vehicle width direction. The 3 rd rod-like portion 73 is disposed inward of the mirror 42 in the vehicle width direction and below the mirror 42 when the vehicle is viewed in front view. When the vehicle is viewed in front elevation, a part of the 1 st rod-like portion 71 is located below the upper end of the light source 41 of the turn signal 40 and above the lower end of the light source 41. That is, a part of the 1 st rod 71 is disposed at the same height as the light source 41. A part of the 2 nd rod-like portion 72 is located outward of the inner end of the light source 41 in the vehicle width direction and inward of the outer end of the light source 41 in the vehicle width direction. That is, a part of the 2 nd rod-like portion 72 is disposed at the same position as the light source 41 in the vehicle width direction.
As described above, according to the lighting device 10 of the present embodiment, the winker lamp 40 and the position light 60 are fixed to the same housing 20. The same lens 80 is disposed in front of the turn signal lamp 40 and the position light 60. Therefore, the size of the lighting device can be reduced as compared with a lighting device in which a dedicated housing and a dedicated lens are provided for each of the winker lamp 40 and the position light 60. In the lighting device 10 according to the present embodiment, the 1 st light source 61 and the 2 nd light source 62 of the position light 60 are disposed at positions separated from the winker light source 41. The light guide 70 of the position indicator lamp 60 is disposed at a position away from the reflector 42 of the winker lamp 40. Therefore, interference between the light of the position light 60 and the light of the turn signal lamp 40 is suppressed. In addition, the light guide 70 is formed in a radial shape. Therefore, the central portion 88 of the light guide 70 is brightened, and therefore, the vicinity of the central portion of the lighting device 10 can be kept bright. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain a compact lighting device 10 that can suppress interference between the light of the position light 60 and the light of the winker 40 and ensure brightness in the vicinity of the central portion.
The specific shape of the light guide 70 is not particularly limited, but according to the lamp device 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the angle α 1 formed by the 1 st rod-like portion 71 and the 2 nd rod-like portion 72 of the light guide 70 is smaller than 90 degrees, the angle α 2 formed by the 2 nd rod-like portion 72 and the 3 rd rod-like portion 73 is 90 degrees or more and smaller than 180 degrees, and the angle α 3 formed by the 3 rd rod-like portion 73 and the 1 st rod-like portion 71 is 90 degrees or more and smaller than 180 degrees. This ensures that the central portion of the lighting device 10 is bright and can uniformly illuminate a wide range.
According to the present embodiment, the light guide 70 is disposed at a position away from the mirror 42 when viewed from the vehicle front side of the motorcycle 1. This can further suppress interference between the light of the position light 60 and the light of the turn signal lamp 40.
The 1 st light source 61 and the 2 nd light source 62 are not limited in kind, but in the present embodiment, they are LEDs, respectively. This makes it possible to reduce the size of the 1 st light source 61 and the 2 nd light source 62. Therefore, the lighting device 10 can be further miniaturized.
In the present embodiment, the 1 st rod-shaped portion 71, the 2 nd rod-shaped portion 72, and the 3 rd rod-shaped portion 73 of the light guide 70 have knurled portions 77a, 77b, and 77c, respectively. This allows the light from the 1 st light source 61 and the 2 nd light source 62 to be diffused by the knurled portions 77a, 77b, and 77 c. Therefore, a wide range can be uniformly illuminated.
As shown in fig. 8, in the present embodiment, the cross-sectional contour 78 of the knurled portion 77a and the cross-sectional contour 79 of the knurled portion 77b are formed in arc shapes. A perpendicular line 78d perpendicular to a straight line 78c connecting one end 78a and the other end 78b of the contour 78 of the cross section of the knurled portion 77a and a perpendicular line 79d perpendicular to a straight line 79c connecting one end 79a and the other end 79b of the contour 79 of the cross section of the knurled portion 77b are not parallel to each other. The perpendicular lines 78d and 79d are considered to be the main irradiation directions of the knurling processing sections 77a and 77b, respectively. These perpendicular lines 78d and 79d are not parallel, and thus the light amount can be ensured without omission even if the observation direction changes. That is, it is possible to suppress a large difference in luminance of the light guide 70 depending on the observation direction. Therefore, visibility of the light guide 70 can be improved.
In addition, according to the present embodiment, the angle β 1 of the angle formed by the contour 78 of the cross section of the knurled portion 77a is different from the angle β 2 of the angle formed by the contour 79 of the cross section of the knurled portion 77 b. This also suppresses a large difference in brightness of the light guide 70 depending on the observation direction. Therefore, the visibility of the light guide 70 can be improved.
According to the present embodiment, the number of light sources of the position light 60 is smaller than the number of rod-shaped portions of the light guide 70. Since the light guide 70 is formed in a radial shape, even if the number of light sources is smaller than the number of rod-shaped portions, light can be guided to all the rod-shaped portions. Therefore, the entire light guide 70 can emit light. According to the present embodiment, since the number of light sources is small, the lighting device 10 can be further miniaturized.
According to the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, a part of the light guide 70 is fitted into the groove 31 of the housing 20. The light is not diffused from the portion of the insertion groove 31 in the light guide 70. Therefore, the portion of the light guide 70 located outside the groove 31 can be brightly illuminated. Therefore, visibility of the light guide 70 can be improved. Further, since a part of the light guide 70 is fitted into the groove 31, the light guide 70 is prevented from protruding outward of the housing 20. Therefore, the lighting device 10 can be further miniaturized.
According to the present embodiment, the housing 20 has the 2 nd housing 22 as a portion having a lower reflectance than the mirror 42, and the light guide 70 is fixed to the 2 nd housing 22. Since the light of the light guide 70 is hardly reflected by the 2 nd housing 22, the shape of the light guide 70 can be clearly seen. This can further suppress interference between the light of the position light 60 and the light of the turn signal lamp 40.
According to the present embodiment, the case 20 has the 1 st convex portion 33a and the 2 nd convex portion 33b, and the 1 st convex portion 33a and the 2 nd convex portion 33b can prevent leakage of light from the 1 st end face 75 and the 2 nd end face 76 of the light guide body 70. This can suppress interference between the light of the contour lamp 60 and the light of the turn signal lamp 40.
In the present embodiment, the power unit 6 has an engine, but the power unit may have a motor instead of the engine. The saddle-ride type vehicle of the present invention may be an electric vehicle.
