It is a figure which shows roughly the interior of the vehicle carrying the vehicle interior goods which concern on this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the structural example of an illuminating device. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. 1. It is sectional drawing explaining the structure of the vehicle interior goods which concern on a modification.

  Hereinafter, a vehicular interior part 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, this embodiment) will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. The embodiment described below is merely an example for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention. That is, the shape, dimensions, arrangement, and the like of the members described below can be changed and improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention naturally includes equivalents thereof.

  The vehicular interior part 1 according to the present embodiment is mounted inside a vehicle C such as an automobile. The vehicle interior 1 includes a lighting device 10 attached to the door trim 5 of the vehicle C, and a light blocking portion 5a provided as a part of the door trim 5 and blocking light from outside the vehicle C to the lighting device 10. . Hereinafter, the configuration of the vehicle interior article 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows the interior of a vehicle C equipped with a vehicle interior product 1. FIG. 1 shows the door portion in contact with the driver's seat of the vehicle C.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle interior 1 includes a light shielding part 5 a and a reflecting part 5 b configured as part of a door trim 5, and a lighting device 10 at least partly covered with the light shielding part 5 a. This is an in-vehicle lighting device.

In FIG. 2, the structural example of the illuminating device 10 was shown. As shown in FIG. 2, the lighting device 10 has a plurality of light emitting elements 10A arranged side by side at a predetermined interval on the lower surface of the substrate 10B. For example, each light emitting element 10A is connected to a control circuit (not shown), and light emission and non-light emission states are controlled according to a control signal from the control circuit. Specifically, by controlling each light emitting element 10A so as to emit light one by one from the light emitting elements 10A located at the ends, it is possible to produce an effect so that light flows in a predetermined direction.
For example, when it is detected that another vehicle is approaching the vehicle C from behind, such an effect may be performed to notify the driver of that effect.

On the other hand, for example, when the lighting device 10 is attached to the door trim 5 as it is, outside light such as sunlight is irradiated on the light emitting element 10A of the lighting device 10 during the daytime, and the light emission state of the lighting device 10 is confirmed. It becomes difficult.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, in the vehicular interior 1 according to the present embodiment, the door trim 5 is provided with a light shielding portion 5 a that protrudes to the inside of the vehicle. It is assumed that the lighting device 10 is provided in a portion surrounded.
In the example shown in FIG. 3, the light-shielding portion 5a has a shape that protrudes toward the inside of the vehicle and has a tip extending downward.

  Here, the illuminating device 10 is attached so that the light emitting surface of the light emitting element 10 </ b> A faces downward inside the light shielding portion 5 a of the door trim 5. As described above, by arranging the lighting device 10, the upper part of the light emitting element 10A of the lighting device 10 on the inner side of the vehicle is covered with the light shielding portion 5a, and the light from the outside light is blocked by the light shielding portion 5a. Is not directly exposed to external light.

On the other hand, on the lower side of the light emitting element 10A, a reflecting portion 5b that reflects light emitted from the light emitting element 10A is formed on the vehicle interior side. And the light emitted from 10 A of light emitting elements can be visually recognized by a driver | operator by attaching an appropriate angle to the reflection part 5b.
The reflecting portion 5b may be made of resin, metal, or the like, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that reflects light.

  FIG. 4 shows a configuration of a vehicle interior product 1A according to a modification of the above embodiment. FIG. 4 schematically shows a cross-sectional view at the same position as in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the illuminating device 11 mounted on the vehicle interior 1A includes a light emitting element 11A, a lens 11B, and a light diffusing element 11C.
Here, the illuminating device 11 is accommodated in a space surrounded by the light shielding portion 5a of the door trim 5 and the door trim 5, and only the light diffusing element 11C of the illuminating device 11 is not covered by the light shielding portion 5a. That is, at least a part of the light diffusing element 11C is exposed to the inside of the vehicle.

Then, the light emitted from the light emitting element 11A of the lighting device 11 is condensed on the light diffusing element 11C by the lens 11B, and the inside of the vehicle is illuminated while being diffused by the light diffusing element 11C.
At this time, since the light (external light) from the outside of the vehicle C is blocked by the light blocking portion 5a, the driver can easily see the light from the light diffusing element 11C.

According to the vehicle interior part 1 (vehicle interior part 1A) described above, it is easy to visually recognize the light emission state of the illumination device 10 (illumination device 11) even when the outside light is strong such as during the daytime.
Moreover, the light-shielding part 5a can be made to melt into the door trim 5 as a design by using a part of the door trim 5 as the light-shielding part 5a. Thereby, compared with the case where the light-shielding part 5a is comprised as another component, the designability can be improved. Moreover, since a part of door trim 5 becomes the light-shielding part 5a, compared with the case where the light-shielding part 5a and the door trim 5 are comprised separately, a number of parts can be reduced.

  Further, in the vehicle interior 1 (vehicle interior 1A), the light blocking portion 5a is provided on the upper part of the illumination device 10 (illumination device 11), so that the light enters from the upper part of the illumination device 10 (illumination device 11). It is possible to prevent light from directly hitting the illumination device 10 (illumination device 11). Thereby, it becomes easy to visually recognize the light emission state of the illumination device 10 (illumination device 11).

  Further, in the vehicle interior part 1 (vehicle interior part 1A), the light shielding part 5a is configured to project from the upper part of the illumination device 10 (illumination apparatus 11) toward the interior of the vehicle, thereby shielding the light from the light shielding part 5a. The possible range can be increased.

  Further, in the vehicle interior 1 (illumination device 11), the light shielding portion 5a covers at least a part of the illumination device 10 (illumination device 11), thereby shielding even if the incident angle of external light changes. it can. Thereby, the light-shielding effect can be increased. Further, the light shielding effect can be made independent of the season and time zone.

  Further, in the vehicular interior 1, by providing the reflection portion 5 b that is provided below the light shielding portion 5 a and reflects the light emitted from the lighting device 10, the influence of light from the outside of the vehicle is eliminated, The light from the illumination device 10 can be easily recognized.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the number of light emitting elements 10A of the lighting device 10 may be one.
