  As shown in FIG. 7, a projector-type vehicle headlamp 90 described in Patent Document 1 includes a reflecting mirror 91 formed as a rotating paraboloid having a major axis X as a rotation axis, and a first of the reflecting mirrors 91. A light source 92 such as a halogen bulb arranged so as to coincide with the focal point F1, a light shielding plate 93 arranged so as to substantially coincide with the second focal point F2 of the reflecting mirror 91, and the front of the reflecting mirror 91 (that is, forward in the irradiation direction). ) Is provided with a projection lens 94 and the like arranged with the focal point positioned on the light shielding plate 93.

  According to the vehicle headlamp 90 described in Patent Document 1, the image of the light source 92 arranged at the first focal point F1 is formed at the second focal point F2, but when projected by the projection lens 94, The light reflected by the lower half of the reflecting mirror 91 that becomes upward light is shielded by the light shielding plate 93 and does not reach the projection lens 94. Therefore, upward light is not included in the irradiation light as the vehicle headlamp 90, and a passing light distribution pattern P including the cut-off line CL as shown in FIG. 8A is obtained.

  When the vehicle headlamp 90 having the above configuration is used as a motorcycle headlamp, when the vehicle body is banked, the vehicle headlamp 90 is also banked accordingly.

JP 2008-135247 A

  However, since the vehicular headlamp 90 is a projector type, the light distribution pattern P has a clear cut-off line CL, and no light is irradiated thereon (see FIG. 8B). For this reason, when the vehicle body is banked, there is no light on the road surface in the traveling direction, and the previous road surface information (see the hatched circle area in FIG. 8B) cannot be obtained (or almost cannot be obtained). There's a problem.

It is characterized by being.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the light reflected by the second reflecting surface and the third reflecting surface (corresponding to the lower half of the conventional reflecting mirror) is not blocked by the shielding member, and the first lens unit and the second lens unit are not blocked. Since it is a structure which injects into a lens part, it becomes possible to improve luminous flux utilization efficiency compared with the past which the light reflected by the lower half of the reflective mirror was shielded by the light-shielding plate.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect of the invention, the lens is disposed between the lens and the light shielding member, and is directed from the first reflecting surface toward the first lens unit and the second lens unit.

The first lens unit 11b is disposed on a virtual vertical screen (for example, approximately 25m ahead of the front end of the vehicle) in which light from the second reflecting surface 15 that passes through the first lens unit 11b is diffused vertically and horizontally and directly faces the front end of the vehicle body when standing upright. The bank light distribution area A _L (for example, about 30 degrees above and about 60 degrees left) on one side (left side in FIG. 6A) above the horizontal line H above the vertical line V is irradiated. In addition, it includes an emission surface 11b ₁ that is recessed in a columnar shape (a columnar shape having a certain radius of inclination) and an incident surface 11b ₂ on the opposite side (see FIGS. 3A to 3B). . Incidentally, it is possible to adjust the degree of diffusion in the vertical and horizontal directions by adjusting the radius and inclination of the exit surface 11b ₁ which recessed cylindrical.

Similarly, in the second lens portion 11c, the light from the third reflecting surface 16 that passes through the second lens portion 11c is diffused in the vertical and horizontal directions, and is above the horizontal line H on the virtual vertical screen facing the front end of the vehicle body in the upright position. Cylindrical shape (with a certain radius of a certain radius) so as to irradiate the bank light distribution area A _R on the other side (right side in FIG. 6A) with respect to V (for example, about 30 degrees upward and about 60 degrees right) was recessed in a cylindrical shape) includes an entrance surface 11c ₂ of the emitting surface 11c ₁ and the opposite side reference (FIG. 3 (a) ~ FIG. 3 (b)). Incidentally, it is possible to adjust the degree of diffusion in the vertical and horizontal directions by adjusting the radius and inclination of the exit surface 11b ₁ which recessed cylindrical.

As shown in FIG. 2, the light source 12 is disposed behind the rear focal point _{F11a of} the projection lens unit 11a and on the optical axis AX of the projection lens unit 11a.

  The light source 12 can emit light in the entire circumferential direction such as a halogen bulb, an HID bulb, or an incandescent bulb including at least one filament (for example, a filament for a traveling beam of an HS1 type halogen bulb) in a glass tube. Light source. The light source 12 may be an LED (for example, a white LED in which a blue LED chip and a phosphor are combined). An LED is a light source that emits light in a hemispherical direction, but a light source that can emit light in the entire circumferential direction is configured by facing the back surfaces (surfaces opposite to the light emitting surface) of two LEDs. It is possible.

The first reflecting surface 13 is disposed above the light source 12 (above the optical axis AX of the projection lens unit 11a) so that light emitted upward from the light source 12 is incident (see FIG. 2). The first reflecting surface 13, a first focal point _{F1 13} is set to the light source 12 near the second focal point _{F2 13} is a reflective surface of the ellipsoidal system set in the vicinity of the side focal point _{F 11a} of the projection lens unit 11a. The first reflecting surface 13 reflects light incident from the light source 12 and transmits the light through the projection lens unit 11a.

Shielding member 14 is disposed between the lens 11 and the light source 12 in a state of being positioned in vicinity of the back focal point F _11a of the projection lens unit 11a the upper edge 14a (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 4, the light shielding member 14 includes a light shielding part main body 14b, an additional light shielding part 14c, and the like.

  The light shielding part main body 14b is provided with an upper end edge 14a corresponding to the cut-off line CL (see FIG. 6A) and is emitted from the light source 12 in the same manner as a light shielding member used in a general projector type lamp unit. A cutoff line CL defined by the upper edge 14a is formed by blocking a part of the light. The light shielding member 14 (light shielding member main body 14b) is set to a height that does not block the light that is reflected by the second reflecting surface 15 and the third reflecting surface 16 and that travels toward the first lens portion 11b and the second lens portion 11c. (See FIG. 2).

  The additional light shielding portion 14c extends substantially horizontally from the lower end edge of the light shielding member body 14b toward the lens 11, and shields the light reflected by the first reflecting surface 13 and directed toward the first lens portion 11b and the second lens portion 11c. To do. The additional light shielding part 14c may be integrated with the light shielding member body 14b or may be a separate body.

  The second reflecting surface 15 and the third reflecting surface 16 are arranged below the light source 12 (below the optical axis AX of the projection lens unit 11a) and to the left and right so that light emitted downward from the light source 12 is incident. (See FIGS. 1 and 5). As shown in FIG. 5, the second reflecting surface 15 is disposed on one side (right side in FIG. 5) with the vertical surface including the optical axis AX of the projection lens unit 11 a as a boundary, and the third reflecting surface 16 is the other reflecting surface 16. It is arranged on the side (left side in FIG. 5).

The second reflecting surface 15, a first focal point _{F1 15} are set to the light source 12 near (see FIGS. 2 and 5), the second focal point _{F2 15} is set on the incident surface 11b ₂ near the first lens portion 11b ( 2 (see FIG. 2, FIG. 3 (b), FIG. 3 (c)) is an elliptical reflection surface. The second reflecting surface 15 reflects light incident from the light source 12 and transmits the first lens unit 11b (see FIG. 2).

Because it is set on the incident surface 11b ₂ near the first lens unit 11b rather than on the optical axis AX of the projection lens section 11a second focal point _{F2 15} of the second reflecting surface 15 is directed to the vertical direction (see FIG. 2), the Most of the light reflected by the second reflecting surface 15 and transmitted through the first lens portion 11b becomes light that is directed obliquely upward and diffused from the second focal point F2 ₁₅ (see FIG. 2). As a result, the light transmitted through the first lens portion 11b can be greatly diffused in the vertical direction.

The second focal point _{F2 15} of the second reflecting surface 15 is set on the incident surface 11b ₂ near the first lens unit 11b rather than on the optical axis AX of the projection lens unit 11a relates the horizontal direction (FIG. 3 (c) Therefore, the light transmitted through the first lens portion 11b can be greatly diffused in the left-right direction.

The third reflecting surface 16, a first focal point _{F1 16} is set to the light source 12 near (see FIGS. 2 and 5), the second focal point _{F2 16} is set on the incident surface 11c ₂ near the second lens portion 11c ( 2 (see FIG. 2, FIG. 3 (b), FIG. 3 (c)) is an elliptical reflection surface. The third reflecting surface 16 reflects light incident from the light source 12 and transmits the second lens portion 11c (see FIG. 2).

Since the second focus _{F2 16} of the third reflecting surface 16 is set on the incident surface 11c ₂ near the second lens unit 11c instead of the optical axis AX of the projection lens unit 11a relates the vertical direction (see FIG. 2), the 3 most of the light transmitted through the second lens portion 11c is reflected by the reflecting surface 15 becomes directed obliquely upward and light diffused from the second focal point F2 ₁₆ (see FIG. 2). As a result, the light transmitted through the second lens portion 11c can be greatly diffused in the vertical direction.

The second focal point _{F2 16} of the third reflecting surface 16 is set on the incident surface 11c ₂ near the second lens unit 11c instead of the optical axis AX of the projection lens unit 11a relates the horizontal direction (FIG. 3 (c) Therefore, the light transmitted through the second lens portion 11c can be greatly diffused in the left-right direction.

  According to the vehicular lamp 10 having the above-described configuration, the light incident on the first reflecting surface 13 out of the light emitted from the light source 12 is reflected by the first reflecting surface 13 and passes through the projection lens unit 11a. Is irradiated. Thereby, the main light distribution pattern P1 (see FIG. 6A) suitable for the passing light distribution pattern including the cut-off line CL is formed on the virtual vertical screen facing the front end of the vehicle. In addition, since the light reflected by the 1st reflective surface 13 is light-shielded by the light shielding member 14 (additional light shielding part 14c), it does not inject into the 1st lens part 11b and the 2nd lens part 11c.

On the other hand, of the light emitted from the light source 12, the light incident on the second reflecting surface 15 is reflected by the second reflecting surface 15, passes below the light shielding member 14, and passes through the first lens portion 11 b ( see FIG. 2), it is radiated forward as light diffused vertically and horizontally by the action of the exit surface 11b ₁ which is recessed in a cylindrical shape. Since the exit surface 11b _{1 that} is recessed in a columnar shape has a certain angle with respect to the vehicle rear surface (plane) of the lens 11, the light transmitted through the first lens portion 11b (the exit surface 11b ₁ ) Is diffused.

As described above, by the light transmitted through the first lens portion 11b is reflected by the second reflecting surface 15 is diffused in the vertical and horizontal directions, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the bank light distribution area A _L additional light distribution pattern P2 _L is formed for irradiating.

Similarly, of the light emitted from the light source 12, the light incident on the third reflecting surface 16 is reflected by the third reflecting surface 16, passes below the light shielding member 14, and passes through the second lens portion 11 c. (see FIG. 2), it is radiated forward as light diffused vertically and horizontally by the action of the exit surface 11c ₁ recessed cylindrical. Since the exit surface 11c _{1 that} is recessed in a columnar shape has a certain angle with respect to the vehicle rear surface (plane) of the lens 11, the light transmitted through the first lens portion 11c (the exit surface 11c ₁ ) is vertically and horizontally Is diffused.

As described above, by light passing through the second lens portion 11c is reflected by the third reflecting surface 16 are diffused in the vertical and horizontal directions, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the bank light distribution region A _R The additional light distribution pattern P2 _R is irradiated.

The bank light distribution pattern (additional light distribution pattern P2 _L and additional light distribution pattern P2 _R ) formed as described above irradiates a wider range (upper 30 degrees, left and right 60 degrees) than the main light distribution pattern P1. A light distribution pattern is obtained (see FIGS. 6A and 6B).

  Next, the operation at the time of body banking will be described.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the vehicle body is banked on the right side (for example, a bank angle of 36 °) at the time of right corner cornering (same as at the time of left corner cornering), the vehicular lamp 10 is also associated with this. Bank. Thus, it until the additional light distribution was irradiated area A _R above the horizontal line H pattern P2 R _(see FIG. 6 (a)), moves below the horizontal line H, the traveling direction of the road surface (Fig. 6 (b) Irradiate the road surface in front of the middle rider. Therefore road area to the horizontal line H additional light distribution pattern P2 _R having moved to below is irradiated located the viewing direction of the rider, it is possible to grasp the road condition of that direction.

As described above, according to the vehicular lamp 10 of the present embodiment, the first lens portion 11b (the emission surface 11b ₁ recessed in the columnar shape), the second reflection surface 15, and the second lens portion 11c (in the columnar shape). The light transmitted through the first lens portion 11b and the second lens portion 11c is diffused in the vertical and horizontal directions by the action of the concave emission surface 11c ₁ ) and the third reflection surface 16, so that it is positively applied to the front end of the vehicle body when standing upright. one and the other bank light distribution area a _L to the upper and the vertical line V to the horizontal line H on the virtual vertical screen _against, a _R additional light distribution pattern P _L for _irradiating, P R _(see FIG. 6 (a)) It becomes possible to form. The additional light distribution pattern P _L, P _R, when was the bank of the vehicle body, moves below the horizontal line H, illuminates the traveling direction of the road surface (see Figure 6 (b)). This makes it possible to grasp the road surface condition in the traveling direction.

  As described above, according to the vehicular lamp 10 of the present embodiment, even when the vehicle body is banked, the vehicular lamp that can irradiate the road surface in the traveling direction and grasp the road surface condition in that direction. 10 can be realized.

  Further, according to the vehicle lamp 10 of the present embodiment, the light reflected by the second reflecting surface 15 and the third reflecting surface 16 (corresponding to the lower half of the conventional reflecting mirror) is not blocked by the shielding member 14. Since it is configured to be incident on the first lens portion 11b and the second lens portion 11c (see FIG. 2), light flux compared with the conventional case (see FIG. 7) in which the light reflected by the lower half of the reflecting mirror is shielded by the light shielding plate Utilization efficiency can be improved.

  Further, according to the vehicular lamp 10 of the present embodiment, since the second reflecting surface 15 and the third reflecting surface 16 different from the first reflecting surface 13 are used, the light amount of the main light distribution pattern P1 is reduced. There is nothing.

  Further, according to the vehicle lamp 10 of the present embodiment, the reflected light reflected by the first reflecting surface 13 is transmitted through the first lens portion 11b and the second lens portion 11c by the action of the additional light shielding member 14b. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reflected light reflected by the first reflecting surface 13 from being transmitted forward through the first lens unit 11b and the second lens unit 11c and causing glare. It becomes possible.
