  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view chiefly showing a heat sink 40 from above.
  • an axis Y represents the vertical axis passing through the backward focal point O of a lens 50.
  • the lens 50 is omitted from FIG. 2 so that the inside may clearly be illustrated.
  • the light unit 10 of this embodiment includes a first light source unit 20, a second light source unit 30, the heat sink 40, the lens 50, a reflector 60, a shade 70, and a cooling fan 80.
  • the first light source unit 20 is the light source unit for emitting light for low beam light distribution, which, in this embodiment, is composed of a single first light source 23 including a single first substrate 21 and a single first semiconductor light emitting chip 22 emitting light for low beam light distribution that is mounted on the first substrate 21.
  • the first light source unit 20 may also be composed of a plurality of first light sources 23.
  • first light source 23 to be used for the first light source unit 20 may have such a configuration that a plurality of first light emitting chips 22 are mounted on the single first substrate 21.
  • an LED chip as a semiconductor light emitting chip is used for the first light emitting chip 22.
  • the first light emitting chip 22 does not need to be limited to the LED chip but may be an LD chip (laser diode chip) as a semiconductor light emitting chip.
  • the second light source unit 30 is the light source unit emitting light for high beam light distribution, which, in this embodiment, is composed of a single second light source 33 (see FIG. 3 ) including a single second substrate 31 and a plurality of second semiconductor light emitting chips 32 emitting light for high beam light distribution that are aligned with one another in the horizontal direction on the second substrate 31 (see FIG. 3 ), as shown in FIGS 2 and 3 .
  • a feeding connector 35 to be connected with an external connector is mounted for power feeding.
  • the second light source unit 30 may also have such a configuration that a plurality of second light sources 33 each having a single second light emitting chip 32 mounted on a single second substrate 31 are aligned with one another in the horizontal direction.
  • a cover 36 covering the feeding connector 35 in order to make the feeding connector 35 invisible from the outside is also arranged on the second substrate 31.
  • the cover 36 may be provided in a base section 41 (an inclined portion 43 described later, for instance) of the heat sink 40.
  • variable high beam (adaptive driving beam) control is carried out by controlling the turning on and off of the second light emitting chips 32 according to the position of a preceding vehicle or an oncoming vehicle to thereby suppress the generation of glare to the preceding vehicle or the oncoming vehicle.
  • an LED chip as a semiconductor light emitting chip is used for each second light emitting chip 32, as is the case with the first light emitting chip 22.
  • the second light emitting chips 32 do not need to be limited to the LED chips but may each be an LD chip (laser diode chip) as a semiconductor light emitting chip.
  • the vehicular light is illustrated as a vehicular light on the right side and, as such, has four second light emitting chips 32 positioned on the left side (outside of the vehicle) and seven second light emitting chips 32 positioned on the right side (inside of the vehicle) with respect to the axis Y as a vertical axis passing through the backward focal point O of the lens 50 when the light unit 10 is viewed from forward in the front vision, as shown in FIG. 2 .
  • four second light emitting chips 32 may be positioned on the right side and seven second light emitting chips 32 may be positioned on the left side with respect to the axis Y
  • the inside and the outside of the vehicle 102 are to be used as a reference, it should be noted that the inside and the outside of the vehicle are reversed between a vehicular light on the right side and a vehicular light on the left side.
  • the left side in the front vision corresponds to the inside of the vehicle and the right side corresponds to the outside. Consequently, if the inside and the outside of the vehicle are used as a reference, the second light emitting chips 32 on the right and left sides with respect to the axis Y are the same in number between vehicular lights on the right and left sides.
  • the number of the second light emitting chips 32 does not need to be limited to eleven but may appropriately be changed in consideration of the horizontal light distribution range of the high beam light distribution pattern to be formed and the variable high beam (adaptive driving beam) control.
  • the heat sink 40 includes a base section 41 where the first light source unit 20 (see FIG. 3 ) and the second light source unit 30 (see FIG. 3 ) are positioned, and a finned section 45 with a plurality of heat dissipating fins (longitudinal fins 47 and lateral fins 49), as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 .
  • the heat sink 40 is preferably formed of a metallic or plastic material having a high thermal conductivity.
  • the heat sink 40 as used is an aluminum die-cast heat sink.
  • the base section 41 has a horizontal portion 42 having the first light source unit 20 located therein, an inclined portion 43 obliquely extending forward and downward from the front of the horizontal portion 42 and having the second light source unit 30 located therein, and an opening 44 provided at a position between the first light source unit 20 and the second light source unit 30, which opening communicates the rear face side and the front face side of the base section 41 with each other.
  • the finned section 45 includes a longitudinal fin section 46 with a plurality of longitudinal fins 47 each extending from a rear face of the inclined portion 43 backward to a position in the horizontal portion 42 that is ahead of the first light source unit 20, and aligned with one another in the horizontal direction, and a lateral fin section 48 provided behind the longitudinal fin section 46 and having a plurality of lateral fins 49 each extending from a rear face of the horizontal portion 42 downward and aligned with one another in a longitudinal direction.
  • the lens 50 is a component for forwardly projecting the light from the first light source unit 20 and the second light source unit 30 while controlling the light distribution so that a specified light distribution pattern may be formed, and is attached to the heat sink 40 through a lens holder 50a (see FIGS. 2 and 3 ).
  • the material to be used to form the lens 50 does not need to be particularly limited but may be a transparent glass or resin. From the viewpoint of a good formability, the lens 50 is preferably formed of a transparent resin.
  • the acrylic resin which has a refractive index less dependent on wavelength and whose spectral blue color is ready to suppress, is suitable for use.
  • a resin excellent in heat resistance such as a polycarbonate resin, may be used for the lens 50.
  • the reflector 60 is positioned on the horizontal portion 42 of the base section 41 and has a shape forwardly opened to cover the first light source unit 20 in a semi-domed manner.
  • the reflector 60 has a face on the first light source unit 20 side formed into a reflecting face 61, and reflects the light emitted upward in the vertical direction from the first light emitting chip 22 of the first light source unit 20 toward the lens 50.
  • the reflecting face 61 has a curved face shape constituting part of an ellipse, and is so formed as to have two focal points, a first focal point and a second focal point.
  • the reflector 60 is positioned on the horizontal portion 42 so that the first focal point thereof may be located at the backward focal point O of the lens 50 or in the vicinity of the backward focal point O and the second focal point thereof may be located at the emission center of the first light emitting chip 22 or in the vicinity of the emission center.
  • the shade 70 partially blocks the light as emitted from the first light emitting chip 22 of the first light source unit 20 and reflected by the reflector 60 to form a cutoff line of a low beam light distribution pattern.
  • an edge 71 at the front of the shade 70 is formed in a shape according to the cutoff line, as shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the shade 70 is positioned on the horizontal portion 42 of the heat sink 40 so that a portion constituting an upper end of an oblique cutoff line of the edge 71 may be located in the vicinity of the backward focal point O of the lens 50.
  • the shade 70 is positioned on the horizontal portion 42 so that the backward focal point O of the lens 50 may be located at a position about 1.0 mm back from the edge 71, as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the shade 70 is positioned on the horizontal portion 42 so that it may be located above the opening 44 as provided in the horizontal portion 42 of the heat sink 40 with some distance from the opening 44.
  • the cooling fan 80 is a component for forcibly blowing gas such as air to the finned section 45 of the heat sink 40 so as to promote the cooling of the heat sink 40.
  • attachment legs 41a for the attachment of the cooling fan 80 extend from the base section 41 of the heat sink 40 to the lower side of the finned section 45, and the cooling fan 80, as being attached to the attachment legs 41a as such, is positioned below the finned section 45 so that a gas outlet may be opposite to the finned section 45.
  • the light unit 10 having the configuration as above is described in more detail while explaining the flow of gas such as air from the cooling fan 80 and the like.
  • the cooling fan 80 is so arranged as to blow the wind to both the longitudinal fin section 46 and the lateral fin section 48, that is to say, part of the wind as generated by the cooling fan 80 is blown toward the lateral fin section 48.
  • the wind as blown to the lateral fin section 48 flows upward passing through between the lateral fins 49 aligned with one another in the longitudinal direction to take heat from the lateral fins 49, and strikes the rear face side of the region of the horizontal portion 42 where the first light source unit 20 is located.
  • the wind as prevented by the rear face of the horizontal portion 42 from flowing upward further flows along the rear face of the horizontal portion 42 in the horizontal direction while taking heat from the horizontal portion 42, and is laterally discharged out of the heat sink 40.
  • housing walls forming the light chamber tend to be closer to the back of the light unit 10, so that it is not possible to efficiently discharge the wind if the lateral fins 49 of the lateral fin section 48 are formed as longitudinal fins to discharge the wind backward.
  • the wind will be discharged with no inhibition by realizing the back of the heat sink 40 as the lateral fin section 48 having the lateral fins 49 aligned with one another in the longitudinal direction, as is the case with this embodiment, because a space for discharging the wind is obtainable in the lateral direction.
  • the flow of the wind between the lateral fins 49 is thus improved, which allows an efficient cooling of the first light source unit 20.
  • the front of the heat sink 40 is realized as the longitudinal fin section 46 having the longitudinal fins 47 aligned with one another in the horizontal direction (lateral direction).
  • the longitudinal fin section 46 is formed by making the longitudinal fins 47 extend backward from the rear face of the inclined portion 43 which obliquely extends forward and downward from the front of the horizontal portion 42.
  • part of the wind as blown to the longitudinal fin section 46 flows under no disturbance by the fins along a backward inclination of the rear face of the inclined portion 43 from the bottom toward the top, while coming into contact with the rear face of the inclined portion 43.
  • the wind cannot flow upward if the provided fins are lateral fins because the lateral fins will guide the wind to a lateral outside.
  • the rear face of the inclined portion 43 is not a vertical face but is inclined, the wind efficiently comes into contact with the rear face, leading to an excellent heat dissipation efficiency.
  • the opening 44 allowing gas to flow through from a rear face side toward a front face side is so provided as to include a position corresponding to the longitudinal fin section 46, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 . Consequently, the part of the wind that flows upward in the longitudinal fin section 46 should flow out to the upper side of the heat sink 40 through the opening 44.
  • the opening 44 is provided at a position between the first light source unit 20 and the second light source unit 30.
  • the wind flowing out through the opening 44 is to be blown to the region which is prone to be of a high temperature due to the combination of heats of the light source units (the first light source unit 20 and the second light source units 30), which leads to a high cooling efficiency.
  • the shade 70 is provided above the opening 44, as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the gas which is so blown out from the cooling fan 80 as to flow upward is induced by the shade 70 to flow in the horizontal direction (rightward and leftward directions in FIG. 3 ).
  • at least part of gas flowing out through the opening 44 is guided toward the lens 50 and the second light source unit 30, while at least another part of gas flowing out through the opening 44 is guided toward the first light source unit 20.
  • the shade 70 does not necessarily need to be located above the opening 44.
  • the second light source unit 30 is positioned at a lower level and the opening 44 is so provided as to reach an upper region of the inclined portion 43, for instance, part of gas flowing out through the opening 44 will be allowed to flow forward. It is therefore possible to provide the opening 44 so that it may reach an upper region of the inclined portion 43 instead of positioning the shade 70 above the opening 44.
  • the longitudinal fin section 46 is caused by the inclined portion 43 to be wider on the cooling fan 80 side and narrower toward the top.
  • the wind from the cooling fan 80 is efficiently accepted to make the wind flow upward at flow rates increased toward the top and, accordingly, is ready to blow out vigorously from the opening 44.
  • the wind is efficiently blown toward the lens 50 and the first light source unit 20, and the gas as blown toward the lens 50 flows spreadably toward the second light source unit 30 according to the fact that the shade 70 extends even above the second light source unit 30 and, in association with that, the gas flow is no more prevented by the horizontal portion 42 on the front side of the shade 70, to thereby efficiently cool the second light source unit 30.
  • the gas flow toward the first light source unit 20 will be reduced if the gas flowing out through the opening 44 is caused to flow forward.
  • the quantity of heat generated by the second light source unit 30 will be increased if the second light source unit 30 is provided with more light emitting chips than the first light source unit 20, as is the case with this embodiment. Therefore, it is preferable in view of the overall cooling efficiency to cause the gas flowing out through the opening 44 to flow forward.
  • FIG. 5 is a vertical cross section of a modification of the heat sink 40 that corresponds to FIG. 3 .
  • the modification of the heat sink 40 as shown in FIG. 5 has a basic configuration similar to that of the heat sink 40 as described above, so that the differences therebetween are chiefly described below.
  • the gas such as air which flows out through the opening 44 upward is made to readily flow forward by improving the shape of an inner face 44a of the opening 44.
  • the opening 44 is formed so that a backward inner face 44a may forwardly be inclined from the bottom toward the top, that is to say, gas passing through the opening 44 may forwardly be guided.
  • the gas flowing out through the opening 44 is allowed to flow forward even if the shade 70 is not positioned above the opening 44.
  • the gas flowing out through the opening 44 is allowed to flow forward by forwardly inclining a portion ranging from the forwardmost part of the lateral fin section 48 to the inner face 44a of the opening 44. It, however, may be adequate that at least the inner face 44a which constitutes the opening 44 at the back of the horizontal portion 42 of the base section 41 is composed of an inclined face forwardly inclined toward the top.
  • FIG. 6 is a front elevation of the light unit 10 of the second embodiment as viewed from forward.
  • FIG. 6 the illustration of the lens 50 is omitted as in FIG. 2 .
  • the lens 50 is attached to the lens holder 50a in the same manner as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the light unit 10 of the second embodiment has a basic configuration similar to that of the first embodiment, so that the following description is chiefly made on the differences, with the description on like parts being omitted in some cases.
  • a substrate opening 31a allowing gas to flow through from a rear face side toward a front face side is formed below the second light emitting chips 32.
  • an opening 43a allowing gas to flow through from a rear face side toward a front face side is provided in the inclined portion 43 of the base section 41 at a position corresponding to the substrate opening 31a in the second substrate 31.
  • part of the gas flowing out through the substrate opening 31a flows toward the second light emitting chips 32, so that the cooling of the second light emitting chips 32 (the second light source unit 30) is carried out at a much higher efficiency.
  • the substrate opening 31a is provided below the second light emitting chips 32.
  • the substrate opening 31a may also be provided in an upper region if there is a space above the second light emitting chips 32, for instance. Even in that case, the lens 50 is efficiently cooled.
  • the lens 50 and the second light source unit 30 are further cooled, with the heat dissipation being much more enhanced, by providing the substrate opening 31a in at least part of the second substrate 31 and providing the opening 43a in the inclined portion 43 at a position corresponding to the substrate opening 31a so as to allow gas to flow toward the lens 50, as described above.
  • the cooling fan 80 may be omitted. Even in the case where the cooling fan 80 is omitted, an updraft is generated when gas such as air is warmed by the heat from the heat dissipating fins (the longitudinal fins 47 and the lateral fins 49), and the gas flow as described above spontaneously occurs.
  • cooling fan 80 is preferred because the generated gas flow becomes stronger and the cooling efficiency becomes higher if the cooling fan 80 is provided.
  • the horizontal width of the opening 44 may be changed as appropriate.
  • the horizontal width of the opening 44 is not less than the horizontal alignment width of the second light emitting chips 32 of the second light source unit 30 as aligned with one another in the horizontal direction because the opening 44 which has a horizontal width not less than the horizontal alignment width of the second light emitting chips 32 allows an efficient cooling of the second light source unit 30.
  • the longitudinal fins 47 are so formed as to extend up to the inside of the opening 44, as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the longitudinal fins 47 does not necessarily need to extend up to the inside of the opening 44.
