Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-249080

In the vehicle lamp described in "Patent Document 1", the lamp unit is arranged separately from the lamp unit for forming the low beam light distribution pattern, so that the lamp becomes larger. There is a problem that it ends up.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and is an additional light distribution for a high beam due to a compact configuration in a vehicle lamp configured so that low beam irradiation and high beam irradiation can be selectively performed. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle lamp that can form a pattern with a plurality of types of irradiation patterns.

The present invention achieves the above object by selectively performing low beam irradiation and high beam irradiation by a projector-type optical system using a single projection lens, and by devising a specific configuration thereof. It is intended to be planned.

That is, the vehicle lamp according to the present invention is
In vehicle lighting fixtures configured to selectively perform low beam irradiation and high beam irradiation.
It is provided with a projection lens and a light source arranged behind the projection lens, and is configured to irradiate the light emitted from the light source toward the front through the projection lens.
Behind the projection lens, a shade that blocks a part of the light from the light source toward the projection lens in order to form a low beam light distribution pattern, and an additional arrangement for the high beam with respect to the low beam light distribution pattern. A plurality of light emitting units for incident light on the projection lens are arranged in order to additionally form an optical pattern.
The plurality of light emitting units are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction below the rear focal point of the projection lens, and are configured to be individually lit.
Each of the light emitting units includes a light emitting element and a reflector that reflects the light emitted from the light emitting element toward the projection lens.
Each of the light emitting elements is arranged so that the light emitting surface faces diagonally upward and forward at a position diagonally downward and rearward from the tip position of the shade.
Each of the reflectors has a first reflecting surface extending diagonally downward and rearward from the vicinity of the rear focal plane of the projection lens, and a second reflecting surface that reflects the light emitted from each of the light emitting elements toward the first reflecting surface. And have
Each of the second reflecting surfaces is arranged so as to cover each of the light emitting elements from the lower side, and is formed so as to extend in a plane toward the diagonally lower rear direction. Is.

The vehicle lamp according to the present invention may be configured such that the light from the light source is incident on the projection lens as direct light, or the light from the light source is reflected by a reflector and incident on the projection lens. You may.

The type of the above "light source" is not particularly limited, and for example, a light emitting element such as a light emitting diode or a laser diode, a light source bulb, or the like can be adopted.

The specific configuration of the "light emitting unit" is particularly limited as long as it can be individually lit in a state of being arranged in parallel in the left-right direction below the rear focal point of the projection lens. Instead, for example, a configuration including a light source and a reflector, a configuration including a light source and a lens, and the like can be adopted.

When the "light emitting unit" is arranged "below the rear focal point of the projection lens", the light emitted from the "light emitting unit" is behind the projection lens below the rear focal point of the projection lens. It means that it is arranged so as to pass through the lateral focal plane.

As shown in the above configuration, the vehicle lamp according to the present invention is configured as a projector-type lamp that selectively performs low beam irradiation and high beam irradiation, and light from a plurality of light emitting units is incident on the projection lens. The light distribution pattern for the high beam is formed by the light beam, and at that time, the plurality of light emitting units are individually arranged in parallel in the left-right direction below the rear focal point of the projection lens. Since it is configured so that it can be lit up, the following effects can be obtained.

That is, the high beam light distribution pattern can be formed by simultaneously lighting a plurality of light emitting units to form an additional light distribution pattern. Further, by selectively lighting a part of the plurality of light emitting units, it is possible to form an additional light distribution pattern in which a part of the additional light distribution pattern is missing, thereby forming a low beam light distribution pattern. It is possible to form an intermediate light distribution pattern having a shape located in the middle of the high beam light distribution pattern.

Moreover, this can be realized by a projector-type optical system using a single projection lens.

As described above, according to the present invention, in a vehicle lamp configured so that low beam irradiation and high beam irradiation can be selectively performed, an additional light distribution pattern for high beam is formed by a plurality of types of irradiation patterns by a compact configuration. can do.

In the above configuration, if the configuration of each light emitting unit includes a light emitting element and a reflector that reflects the emitted light toward the projection lens, the configuration of each light emitting unit can be simplified.

At that time, as a configuration of the reflector, a first reflecting surface extending diagonally downward and rearward from the vicinity of the rear focal plane of the projection lens, and a second reflecting surface that reflects the light emitted from the light emitting element toward the first reflecting surface. With the configuration provided with the above, the light emitted from the light emitting element can be efficiently incident on the projection lens.

In this case, if the first reflecting surface is formed so that the position of the front edge thereof coincides with the position of the front edge of the shade, the low beam light distribution pattern and the additional light distribution pattern are for low beam. It is possible to prevent interruptions in the cut-off line portion of the light distribution pattern.

In the above configuration, if the configuration of the projection lens is such that the posterior focal point of the upper region is located below the posterior focal point of the general region other than the upper region, the light distribution pattern for low beam is used. And the additional light distribution pattern can be partially overlapped in the cut-off line portion of the low beam light distribution pattern, whereby the continuity between the low beam light distribution pattern and the additional light distribution pattern can be enhanced.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing a vehicle lamp 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a view taken along the line II in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a detailed view of part III of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the main components of the vehicle lamp 10.

As shown in these figures, the vehicle lamp 10 according to the present embodiment is a headlamp configured to selectively perform low beam irradiation and high beam irradiation, and is configured as a projector-type lamp unit. ing.

That is, the vehicle lamp 10 includes a projection lens 12 having an optical axis Ax extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, a light emitting element 14 as a light source arranged behind the rear focal point F of the projection lens 12, and the light emitting element 14. It is arranged so as to cover the light emitting element 14 from the upper side, and is provided with a reflector 16 that reflects the light from the light emitting element 14 toward the projection lens 12.

Further, the vehicle lamp 10 includes a shade 20 that blocks a part of the light from the light emitting element 14 toward the projection lens 12 in order to form a low beam light distribution pattern, and a high beam light distribution pattern for the low beam. In order to additionally form the additional light distribution pattern of the above, the configuration is provided with a plurality of light emitting units 30 for incident light on the projection lens 12.

The vehicle lamp 10 is configured such that the optical axis Ax is slightly downward with respect to the vehicle front-rear direction when the optical axis adjustment is completed.

Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the vehicle lamp 10 will be described.

The projection lens 12 is a plano-convex aspherical lens having a convex front surface and a flat rear surface, and uses a light source image formed on the rear focal plane, which is a focal plane including the rear focal F, as an inverted image. It is designed to project on a virtual vertical screen in front of the lamp.

The projection lens 12 is supported by the lens holder 18 at its outer peripheral flange portion. The lens holder 18 is supported by the base member 22.

The light emitting element 14 is a white light emitting diode and has a horizontally long rectangular light emitting surface. The light emitting element 14 is arranged upward with its light emitting surface positioned on a horizontal plane including the optical axis Ax. The light emitting element 14 is supported by the base member 22.

The reflecting surface 16a of the reflector 16 has a long axis substantially coaxial with the optical axis Ax, and is composed of a substantially ellipsoidal curved surface having the light emitting center of the light emitting element 14 as the first focal point, and its eccentricity is a vertical cross section. It is set to gradually increase from the to the horizontal cross section. As a result, the reflector 16 converges the light from the light emitting element 14 to a point located slightly in front of the rear focal point F in the vertical cross section, and moves the converging position considerably forward in the horizontal cross section. It has become. The reflector 16 is supported by the base member 22.

The shade 20 has an upward reflecting surface 20a that shields a part of the light from the light emitting element 14 reflected by the reflector 16 and then reflects the blocked light upward. Then, the light reflected by the upward reflecting surface 20a is incident on the projection lens 12, and this is emitted from the projection lens 12 as downward light.

The shade 20 is integrally formed with the base member 22, and the upward reflecting surface 20a thereof is formed by subjecting the upper surface of the base member 22 to a mirror surface treatment such as aluminum vapor deposition.

In the upward reflecting surface 20a, the left side region located on the left side of the optical axis Ax (right side in the front view of the lamp) is formed of a horizontal plane including the optical axis Ax, and the right side region located on the right side of the optical axis Ax is formed. It is composed of a horizontal plane that is one step lower than the left area through a short slope. The front edge 20a1 of the upward reflecting surface 20a is formed so as to extend from the rear focal point F toward both the left and right sides.

The plurality of light emitting units 30 are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction below the rear focal point F of the projection lens 12, and are configured to be individually lit by a lighting control circuit (not shown). In the present embodiment, 11 light emitting units 30 having the same configuration are arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction with the position directly below the optical axis Ax as the center.

As shown in detail in FIG. 3, each light emitting unit 30 includes a light emitting element 32 and a reflector 34 that reflects the light emitted from the light emitting element 32 toward the projection lens 12.

The reflector 34 transmits the first reflecting surface 34a extending diagonally downward and rearward from the front edge 20a1 of the upward reflecting surface 20a of the shade 20 (that is, from the vicinity of the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12) and the light emitted from the light emitting element 32. It includes a second reflecting surface 34b that reflects toward the first reflecting surface 34a.

A part of the reflector 34 is integrally formed with the base member 22. That is, the first reflecting surface 34a is configured as a part of the front end surface of the base member 22, and the second reflecting surface 34b is configured as a part of the cover member 36 attached to the base member 22.

The light emitting element 32 is a white light emitting diode, and is supported by the first reflecting surface 34a at a position obliquely downward and rearward from the front end edge 20a1 of the upward reflecting surface 20a. That is, the light emitting element 32 is arranged so that its light emitting surface faces diagonally downward and forward orthogonal to the first reflecting surface 34a.

The second reflecting surface 34b is arranged so as to cover the light emitting element 32 from the lower side. The second reflecting surface 34b is formed of a substantially ellipsoidal curved surface, and reflects the light from the light emitting element 32 toward the region near the front end edge of the first reflecting surface 34a.

The cover member 36 is formed horizontally so as to straddle the 11 light emitting units 30. The cover member 36 is formed with a partition wall portion 36a extending in the vertical direction parallel to the optical axis Ax at both left and right end positions and at a boundary position between the second reflecting surfaces 34b. At that time, the side surface of each of these partition wall portions 36a is configured as a reflective surface.

Each of these partition walls 36a is formed so as to extend to the first reflecting surface 34a, whereby the second reflecting surface 34b is partitioned for each light emitting unit 30. At that time, the front end positions of each of the second reflecting surfaces 34b and each partition wall portion 36a are located slightly behind the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12.

A part of the light emitted from the light emitting element 32 in each light emitting unit 30 is reflected by the second reflecting surface 34b, then reflected again by the first reflecting surface 34a and incident on the projection lens 12, and the other part is directly reflected. It is reflected by the first reflecting surface 34a and is incident on the projection lens 12, and the other part is incident on the projection lens 12 as direct light. At that time, in any case, a part of the reflection is reflected by the side surfaces of the partition walls 36a on both the left and right sides, and then is incident on the projection lens 12.

That is, the light directed from each light emitting unit 30 toward the projection lens 12 has an opening shape surrounded by the first and second reflecting surfaces 34a and 34b and a pair of left and right partition wall portions 36a at the position of the front end edge of the cover member 36. After the emission range is narrowed down, it passes through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12. Therefore, the ranges of the light flux passing through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12 slightly overlap between the light emitting units 30 adjacent to each other.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a light distribution pattern formed on a virtual vertical screen arranged at a position 25 m in front of the vehicle by the light emitted from the vehicle lamp 10 toward the front. FIG. (A) is a diagram showing a high beam light distribution pattern PH1, and FIG. (B) is a diagram showing an intermediate light distribution pattern PM1.

The high beam light distribution pattern PH1 shown in FIG. 6A is formed as a combined light distribution pattern of the low beam light distribution pattern PL1 and the high beam additional light distribution pattern PA.

The low beam light distribution pattern PL1 is a left light distribution low beam light distribution pattern, and has cut-off lines CL1 and CL2 having different left and right stages at the upper end edge thereof. The cut-off lines CL1 and CL2 extend in the horizontal direction with the VV line passing vertically through the HV, which is the vanishing point in the front direction of the lamp, as a boundary, and extend horizontally on the right side of the VV line. The oncoming lane side portion is formed as the lower cut offline CL1, and the own lane side portion on the left side of the VV line is formed as the upper cut offline CL2 which is stepped up from the lower cut offline CL1 via the inclined portion. It is formed.

In this low beam light distribution pattern PL1, the light source image of the light emitting element 14 formed on the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12 by the light from the light emitting element 14 reflected by the reflector 16 is displayed on the virtual vertical screen by the projection lens 12. It is formed by projecting it upward as an inverted projection image, and the cut-off lines CL1 and CL2 are formed as an inverted projection image of the front edge 20a1 of the upward reflecting surface 20a of the shade 20.

In this low beam light distribution pattern PL1, the elbow point E, which is the intersection of the lower cut-off line CL1 and the VV line, is located about 0.5 to 0.6 ° below the HV.

In the high beam light distribution pattern PH1, the additional light distribution pattern PA is additionally formed as a horizontally long light distribution pattern so as to spread upward from the cut-off lines CL1 and CL2 so as to widely irradiate the vehicle front travel path. It has become.

The additional light distribution pattern PA is formed as a composite light distribution pattern of 11 light distribution patterns Pa.

Each of these light distribution patterns Pa is a light distribution pattern formed as an inverted projection image of the light source image of each light emitting element 32 formed on the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12 by the light from each light emitting unit 30.

At that time, each of these light distribution patterns Pa has a substantially rectangular shape that is slightly long in the vertical direction. This corresponds to the fact that the emission range of the light beam bundle from each light emitting unit 30 is narrowed down to an opening shape surrounded by the first and second reflecting surfaces 34a and 34b and a pair of left and right partition wall portions 36a. Is.

Further, each of these light distribution patterns Pa is formed so as to slightly overlap between the light distribution patterns Pa adjacent to each other. This is due to the slight overlap in the range of the light flux passing through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12 between the light emitting units 30 adjacent to each other.

Further, the position of the lower end edge of each of these light distribution patterns Pa coincides with the positions of the cut-off lines CL1 and CL2. This is because the first reflecting surface 34a is formed so as to extend diagonally downward and rearward from the front end edge 20a1 of the upward reflecting surface 20a of the shade 20.

Of the light bundles forming each of these light distribution patterns Pa, the light from the light emitting element 32 reflected by the second reflecting surface 34a is reflected in the region near the front end edge of the first reflecting surface 34a, so that each light distribution pattern Pa Is formed with a high luminosity distribution in the lower end region. Therefore, the additional light distribution pattern PA formed as these synthetic light distribution patterns is also formed as a bright light distribution pattern in the region along the cut-off line CL1 and CL2, which is more suitable for forming the high beam light distribution pattern PH1. It has become a thing.

The intermediate light distribution pattern PM1 shown in FIG. 3B is a light distribution pattern having an additional light distribution pattern PAm in which a part thereof is missing in place of the additional light distribution pattern PA with respect to the high beam light distribution pattern PH1. It has become.

Specifically, this additional light distribution pattern PAm is a light distribution pattern in which the third and fourth light distribution patterns Pa from the right are missing from the 11 light distribution patterns Pa. This additional light distribution pattern PAm is formed by turning off the third and fourth light emitting units 30 from the left among the 11 light emitting units 30.

By forming such an intermediate light distribution pattern PM1, the irradiation light from the vehicle lighting tool 10 is prevented from hitting the oncoming vehicle 2, thereby preventing glare from being given to the driver of the oncoming vehicle 2. It is designed to illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle as widely as possible.

Then, as the position of the oncoming vehicle 2 changes, the shape of the additional light distribution pattern PAm is changed by sequentially switching the light emitting unit 30 to be turned off, thereby giving glare to the driver of the oncoming vehicle 2. It is designed to maintain the state of irradiating the road ahead of the vehicle as widely as possible within the range that does not cause the accident.

The presence of the oncoming vehicle 2 is detected by an in-vehicle camera or the like (not shown). Then, even when a vehicle in front is present on the road ahead of the vehicle or a pedestrian is present on the shoulder of the road, glare is given by detecting this and omitting a part of the light distribution pattern Pa. I try not to do it.

Next, the action and effect of this embodiment will be described.

The vehicle lamp 10 according to the present embodiment is configured as a projector-type lamp that selectively performs low beam irradiation and high beam irradiation, and the light from 11 light emitting units 30 is incident on the projection lens 12. The additional light distribution pattern PA for the high beam is formed by the above. At this time, the 11 light emitting units 30 are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction below the rear focal point F of the projection lens 12. Since it is configured so that it can be individually lit in the state, the following effects can be obtained.

That is, the high beam light distribution pattern PH1 can be formed by simultaneously lighting the 11 light emitting units 30 to form the additional light distribution pattern PA. Further, by selectively lighting a part of the 11 light emitting units 30, it is possible to form an additional light distribution pattern PAm in which a part of the additional light distribution pattern PA is missing, thereby forming a low beam distribution. An intermediate light distribution pattern PM1 having a shape located between the light pattern PL1 and the high beam light distribution pattern PH1 can be formed.

Moreover, this can be realized by a projector-type optical system using a single projection lens 12.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the vehicle lamp 10 configured to selectively perform low beam irradiation and high beam irradiation, a plurality of types of additional light distribution patterns PA and PAm for high beam are provided in a compact configuration. It can be formed by the irradiation pattern of.

At that time, in the present embodiment, each light emitting unit 30 includes a light emitting element 32 and a reflector 34 that reflects the emitted light toward the projection lens 12, so that each light emitting unit 30 is configured. Can be simplified.

Moreover, the reflector 34 has a first reflecting surface 34a extending diagonally downward and rearward from the vicinity of the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12, and a second reflection that reflects the light emitted from the light emitting element 32 toward the first reflecting surface 34a. Since the configuration is provided with the surface 34b, the light emitted from the light emitting element 32 can be efficiently incident on the projection lens 12.

At this time, since the first reflecting surface 34a is formed so that the position of the front end edge thereof coincides with the position of the front end edge 20a1 of the upward reflecting surface 20a of the shade 20, the light distribution pattern PL1 for low beam and the additional arrangement are added. It is possible to prevent the optical pattern PA from being interrupted at the cut-off lines CL1 and CL2.

Further, in the present embodiment, each light emitting unit 30 is partitioned by partition walls 36a on both the left and right sides, whereby the range of the light flux that passes through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12 between the light emitting units 30 adjacent to each other. Since the light distribution patterns PA are slightly overlapped with each other, the 11 light distribution patterns Pa constituting the additional light distribution pattern PA can also be formed so as to be slightly overlapped with each other. As a result, the additional light distribution pattern PAm when a part of the light emitting unit 30 is turned off and a part of the light distribution pattern Pa is omitted is provided with a light distribution in which the boundary lines on both the left and right sides of the missing portion are relatively clear. It can be formed as a pattern.

In the above embodiment, it has been described that 11 light emitting units 30 are provided, but it is also possible to have a configuration including a number of other light emitting units 30.

Next, a modified example of the above embodiment will be described.

First, a first modification of the above embodiment will be described.

FIG. 6 is a diagram similar to FIG. 1 showing a vehicle lamp 110 according to this modified example.

As shown in the figure, the basic configuration of the vehicle lamp 110 is the same as that of the vehicle lamp 10 of the above embodiment, but the configuration of the projection lens 112 is different from that of the above embodiment.

That is, the projection lens 112 of this modification is formed so that the rear focal point Fa of the upper region 112A is located below the posterior focal point F of the general region other than the upper region 112A.

Specifically, the front surface 112a of the projection lens 112 is largely curved to the rear side of the front surface of the projection lens 12 of the above embodiment shown by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure in the region above the optical axis Ax. It is formed so as to do. Therefore, the rear focal point F of the general region is located on the optical axis Ax, while the posterior focal point Fa of the upper region 112A is displaced downward with respect to the posterior focal point F.

As a result, in this modification, the reflected light from the reflector 16 reflected by the upward reflecting surface 20a of the shade 20 and incident on the upper region 112A of the projection lens 112 and the upper region of the projection lens 112 emitted from each light emitting unit 30. The light incident on the 112A is emitted from the projection lens 112 toward the front as light slightly downward as compared with the case of the above embodiment.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for seeing through the light distribution pattern formed on the virtual vertical screen by the light emitted from the vehicle lamp 110 toward the front, and FIG. 7 (a) is a diagram for high beam. The light pattern PH2 and FIG. 6B are diagrams showing an intermediate light distribution pattern PM2.

The high beam light distribution pattern PH2 shown in FIG. 6A is formed as a composite light distribution pattern of the low beam light distribution pattern PL2 and the high beam additional light distribution pattern PB.

The additional light distribution pattern PB is formed as a composite light distribution pattern of 11 light distribution patterns Pb.

Each of these light distribution patterns Pb is a light distribution pattern formed as an inverted projection image of the light source image of the light emitting element 32 formed on the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12 by the light from each light emitting unit 30.

At that time, each of these light distribution patterns Pb is formed in the same shape and arrangement as each light distribution pattern Pa of the above embodiment, but the lower end edge thereof extends to a position slightly lower than the cut-off lines CL1 and CL2. There is. This is because the rear focal point Fa of the upper region 112A of the projection lens 112 is displaced downward with respect to the posterior focal point F of the general region.

The low beam light distribution pattern PL2 has a slightly different luminous intensity distribution from the low beam light distribution pattern PL1 of the above embodiment, but the overall shape is the same as that of the low beam light distribution pattern PL1. be.

The intermediate light distribution pattern PM2 shown in FIG. 3B has a light distribution pattern PBm in which a part of the intermediate light distribution pattern PM2 is missing in place of the additional light distribution pattern PB with respect to the high beam light distribution pattern PH2. It has become.

Even when the configuration of this modification is adopted, the additional light distribution patterns PB and PBm for the high beam can be formed by a plurality of types of irradiation patterns due to the compact configuration.

Further, by adopting the configuration of this modification, in the high beam light distribution pattern PH2, the low beam light distribution pattern PL2 and the additional light distribution pattern PB can be partially overlapped in the cut-off line CL1 and CL2. This makes it possible to enhance the continuity between the low beam light distribution pattern PL2 and the additional light distribution pattern PB.

In this respect, the same applies to the intermediate light distribution pattern PM2, and the continuity between the low beam light distribution pattern PL2 and the additional light distribution pattern PBm can be enhanced.

In this first modification, the region of the projection lens 112 located above the optical axis Ax has been described as the upper region 112A, but the position of the lower end edge of the upper region 112A is not necessarily the optical axis Ax. It does not have to match.

Next, a second modification of the above embodiment will be described.

FIG. 8 is a diagram similar to FIG. 3, showing a main part of the vehicle lamp 210 according to the present modification.

As shown in the figure, the basic configuration of the vehicle lighting fixture 210 is the same as that of the vehicle lighting fixture 10 of the above embodiment, but the configuration of each light emitting unit 230 is different from that of the above embodiment. Along with this, the configurations of the shade 220 and the base member 222 are also partially different.

That is, also in this modification, each light emitting unit 230 includes a light emitting element 232 and a reflector 234 that reflects the light emitted from the light emitting element 232 toward the projection lens 12.

The reflector 234 transmits the first reflecting surface 234a extending diagonally downward and rearward from the front end edge 220a1 of the upward reflecting surface 220a of the shade 220 (that is, from the vicinity of the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12) and the light emitted from the light emitting element 232. It is provided with a second reflecting surface 234b that reflects toward the first reflecting surface 234a.

The first reflecting surface 234a is configured as a part of the base member 222. The second reflecting surface 234b is configured as a part of the cover member 236 attached to the base member 222.

The light emitting element 232 is a white light emitting diode, and is supported by a plane orthogonal to the first reflecting surface 34a at a position obliquely downward and rearward from the front end edge 220a1 of the upward reflecting surface 220a. That is, the light emitting element 232 is arranged so that its light emitting surface faces diagonally upward and forward parallel to the first reflecting surface 234a.

The second reflecting surface 234b is arranged so as to cover the light emitting element 232 from the lower side. The second reflecting surface 234b is formed in a plane shape, and reflects the light from the light emitting element 232 toward the first reflecting surface 234a.

The cover member 236 is formed horizontally so as to straddle the 11 light emitting units 230. The cover member 236 is formed with a partition wall portion 236a extending in the vertical direction parallel to the optical axis Ax at both left and right end positions and at a boundary position between the second reflecting surfaces 234b. At that time, the side surface of these partition wall portions 236a is formed as a reflective surface.

Each of these partition wall portions 236a is formed so as to extend to the first reflecting surface 234a, whereby the second reflecting surface 234b is partitioned for each light emitting unit 230. At that time, the front end positions of the second reflecting surface 234b and the partition wall portions 236a are slightly rearward of the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12.

A part of the light emitted from the light emitting element 232 in each light emitting unit 230 is reflected by the second reflecting surface 234b, then reflected again by the first reflecting surface 234a and incident on the projection lens 12, and the other part is directly reflected. It is reflected by the first reflecting surface 234a and is incident on the projection lens 12, and the other part is incident on the projection lens 12 as direct light. At that time, in any case, a part of the reflection is reflected by the side surfaces of the partition walls 236a on both the left and right sides, and then is incident on the projection lens 12.

Therefore, the light directed from each light emitting unit 230 toward the projection lens 12 is an opening surrounded by the first and second reflecting surfaces 234a and 234b and a pair of left and right partition wall portions 236a at the position of the front end edge of the cover member 236. After the emission range is narrowed down to the shape, it passes through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12. Therefore, the ranges of the light flux passing through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12 slightly overlap between the light emitting units 230 adjacent to each other.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for seeing through the light distribution pattern formed on the virtual vertical screen by the light emitted from the vehicle lamp 210 toward the front, and FIG. 9 (a) is a diagram for high beam. The light pattern PH3 and FIG. 3B are diagrams showing the low beam light distribution pattern PL3.

The high beam light distribution pattern PH3 shown in FIG. 3A is formed as a composite light distribution pattern of the basic light distribution pattern PL0 for the low beam and the additional light distribution pattern PC for the high beam.

The basic light distribution pattern PL0 is exactly the same as the low beam light distribution pattern PL1 of the above embodiment.

The additional light distribution pattern PC is formed as a synthetic light distribution pattern of 11 light distribution patterns Pc.

Each of these light distribution patterns Pc is a light distribution pattern formed as an inverted projection image of the light source image of the light emitting element 232 formed on the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12 by the light from each light emitting unit 230.

At that time, each of these light distribution patterns Pc is formed in the same shape and arrangement as each light distribution pattern Pa of the above embodiment, but the light intensity distribution is different.

That is, each of these light distribution patterns Pc is formed with a luminous intensity distribution in which the central portion is brightest and gradually darkens toward the peripheral portion. This is because the second reflecting surface 234b is formed in a flat shape.

In the low beam light distribution pattern PL3 shown in FIG. 3B, an OHS irradiation light distribution pattern PD for irradiating the overhead sign OHS installed on the vehicle front driving path is additionally formed with respect to the basic light distribution pattern PL0. It is a light distribution pattern.

The OHS irradiation light distribution pattern PD turns off the four light emitting units 230 located on both sides of the 11 light emitting units 230, and then lights the remaining seven light emitting units 230 in a dimmed state. As a result, it is formed as a composite light distribution pattern of seven light distribution patterns Pd.

At that time, each light distribution pattern Pc is formed with a luminous intensity distribution in which the central portion is brightest and gradually darkens toward the peripheral portion. The outer peripheral area becomes dark. Therefore, the light distribution pattern PD for OHS irradiation has a light distribution pattern in which the central region thereof is appropriately bright and the regions near the cut-off lines CL1 and CL2 are dark, and is suitable for irradiation with the overhead label OHS.

In this modified example as well, in the high beam light distribution pattern PH3 shown in FIG. Intermediate light distribution pattern of the embodiment An intermediate light distribution pattern similar to PM1 can be formed.

Even when the configuration of this modification is adopted, the additional light distribution pattern PC for the high beam can be formed by a plurality of types of irradiation patterns due to the compact configuration.

Further, by adopting the configuration of this modification, it is possible to form a light distribution pattern having an OHS irradiation light distribution pattern PD as the low beam light distribution pattern PL3.

In particular, when a plurality of light emitting units 230 are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction below the rear focal point F of the projection lens 12 as in this modification, the reflector 16 is in front of the shade 20 as in the conventional case. Since it is difficult to arrange a reflective member for reflecting the reflected light from the light source to form the light distribution pattern PD for OHS irradiation, it is effective to adopt the configuration of this modification.

Also in the above embodiment, by adopting the same irradiation mode as in this modification when forming the low beam light distribution pattern PL1, the OHS irradiation light distribution pattern similar to the OHS irradiation light distribution pattern PD is formed. It is possible.

Next, a third modification of the above embodiment will be described.

FIG. 10 is a diagram similar to FIG. 1 showing a vehicle lamp 310 according to the present modification, and FIG. 11 is a detailed view of the XI portion thereof.

As shown in these figures, the basic configuration of the vehicle lighting fixture 310 is the same as that of the vehicle lighting fixture 110 of the first modification, but the postures of the light emitting element 14 and the reflector 16 and the shade 320 and each light emitting unit. The configuration of 330 is different from that of the first modification, and accordingly, the shape of the base member 322 is different from that of the first modification.

That is, the shade 320 of this modification is made of a thin plate (for example, a metal plate) having a thickness of about 0.2 to 0.5 mm, and the upper surface thereof is formed as an upward reflecting surface 320a. The shade 320 is supported by the base member 322 in a state of being arranged so as to extend obliquely upward and backward from the vicinity of the rear focal plane of the projection lens 112. At that time, the inclination angle of the upward reflecting surface 320a from the horizontal plane is set to a value of about 10 to 30 °, and the position of the front end edge 320a1 is set to substantially the same position as in the case of the first modification. ..

The structure of the light emitting element 14 and the reflector 16 is the same as in the case of the first modification, but the light emitting element 14 and the reflector 16 are arranged in a state of being inclined from the horizontal plane by the inclination angle of the upward reflecting surface 320a of the shade 320. However, at such an inclination angle, the region where the light from the light emitting element 14 reflected by the reflector 16 passes through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 112 is substantially the same as in the case of the first modification.

Also in this modification, 11 light emitting units 330 are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction at equal intervals below the rear focal point F of the projection lens 112, and these are configured to be individually lit. ing.

At that time, these light emitting units 330 are arranged below the front end portion of the shade 320. A unit support portion 322a for supporting these light emitting units 330 is formed on the upper portion of the front end of the base member 322.

Each light emitting unit 330 includes a light emitting element 332 and a reflector 334 that reflects the light emitted from the light emitting element 332 toward the projection lens 112.

The light emitting element 332 is a white light emitting diode, and is supported by the base member 322 with its light emitting surface arranged upward.

The reflector 334 is arranged so as to cover the light emitting element 332 from the rear to the upper side, and is supported by the base member 322.

The reflector 334 has a spheroidal reflecting surface 334a whose first focus is the light emitting center of the light emitting element 332. Then, the reflector 334 reflects the light from the light emitting element 332 forward on the reflecting surface 334a, once converges in front of the rear focal plane of the projection lens 112, and then incidents on the projection lens 112. It has become like.

The reflector 334 is formed so that its upper end edge extends to the vicinity of the lower surface of the front end portion of the shade 320 (that is, above the optical axis Ax), whereby the reflecting surface 334a is secured as wide as possible. There is.

For the 11 light emitting units 330, the reflectors 334 are integrally formed with each other. On both the left and right sides of each of these reflectors 334, partition walls 336 extending in the vertical direction parallel to the optical axis Ax are arranged. Each of these partition walls 336 is integrally formed with each reflector 334.

The upper end edge of each partition wall 336 is formed so as to extend to the vicinity of the lower surface of the front end portion of the shade 320, and the front end edge thereof is located slightly behind the rear focal plane of the projection lens 112. Each of these partition walls 336 is configured such that the side surface of the reflector 334 on the reflection surface 334a side is a reflection surface.

The light incident on the projection lens 112 from each light emitting unit 330 includes not only the reflected light from the reflector 334 but also the direct light from the light emitting element 332 and the reflected light from the partition walls 336 on both sides thereof.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for seeing through the light distribution pattern formed on the virtual vertical screen by the light emitted from the vehicle lamp 310 toward the front, and FIG. 12 (a) is a diagram for high beam. The light pattern PH4 and FIG. 6B are diagrams showing an intermediate light distribution pattern PM4.

The high beam light distribution pattern PH4 shown in FIG. 6A is formed as a composite light distribution pattern of the low beam light distribution pattern PL4 and the high beam additional light distribution pattern PE.

The additional light distribution pattern PE is formed as a synthetic light distribution pattern of 11 light distribution patterns Pe.

Each of these light distribution patterns Pe is a light distribution pattern formed as an inverted projection image of the light source image of the light emitting element 332 formed on the rear focal plane of the projection lens 112 by the light from each light emitting unit 330.

At that time, each of these light distribution patterns Pe is formed in substantially the same shape and arrangement as each light distribution pattern Pb of the first modification, but is formed as an overall brighter light distribution pattern. This is because more of the reflected light from the reflector 334 and the direct light from the light emitting element 332 are incident on the projection lens 112 in each light emitting unit 330.

The low beam light distribution pattern PL4 is formed in substantially the same shape as the low beam light distribution pattern PL2 of the first modification.

The intermediate light distribution pattern PM4 shown in FIG. 3B is a light distribution pattern having an additional light distribution pattern PEm in which a part thereof is missing in place of the additional light distribution pattern PE with respect to the high beam light distribution pattern PH4. It has become.

Even when the configuration of this modification is adopted, the additional light distribution patterns PE and PEm for the high beam can be formed by a plurality of types of irradiation patterns due to the compact configuration.

In particular, as in this modification, the shade 320 made of a thin plate is arranged so that the upward reflecting surface 320a extends diagonally upward and backward from the vicinity of the rear focal plane of the projection lens 112, and then the front end portion thereof. By arranging each light emitting unit 330 below, the reflecting surface 334a of the reflector 334 can be widely secured, whereby the additional light distribution patterns PE and PEm can be made brighter.

At this time, also in this modification, since the rear focal point Fa of the upper region 112A of the projection lens 112 is located below the rear focal point F of the general region, the reflected light from the reflector 16 and each light emitting unit 330 In the high beam light distribution pattern PH4, although a slight gap (that is, a gap corresponding to the plate thickness of the shade 320) is generated in the region passing through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 112 with the light emitted from the light beam. The low beam light distribution pattern PL4 and the additional light distribution pattern PE can be partially overlapped, and the continuity thereof can be enhanced.

In this respect, the same applies to the intermediate light distribution pattern PM4, and the continuity between the low beam light distribution pattern PL4 and the additional light distribution pattern PEm can be enhanced.

In this modification, the reflector 334 of each light emitting unit 330 has an upper end edge extending above the optical axis Ax, but the light emitted from the light emitting unit 330 subsequently passes through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 112. It passes below the lateral focus F. Therefore, it can be said that each light emitting unit 330 is located below the rear focal point F of the projection lens 112.

Next, a fourth modification of the above embodiment will be described.

Also in this modification, 11 light emitting units 430 are arranged in parallel in the left-right direction at equal intervals below the rear focal point F of the projection lens 12, and these are configured to be individually lit. ing.

Each light emitting unit 430 includes a light emitting element 432 and a lens 434 that deflects the light emitted from the light emitting element 432 toward the projection lens 12.

Each light emitting element 432 is arranged below the shade 420 with its light emitting surface facing diagonally upward with respect to the front direction of the lamp, and is supported by the base member 422.

Each lens 434 is a convex cylindrical lens that extends shortly in the left-right direction, and the front surface thereof is composed of a single convex curved surface, and the rear surface thereof is composed of a convex curved surface with a step.

It has become like. At that time, each of these lenses 434 is designed to directly deflect and control the light emitted from each light emitting element 432 at the central portion thereof so as to once converge in the vicinity below the rear focal point F of the projection lens 12. In the upper part and the lower part thereof, the light emitted from each light emitting element 432 is totally reflected on the rear surface and then the deflection is controlled.

Further, a part of the light emitted from each of these lenses 434 is reflected by the downward reflecting surface 420b of the shade 420 and then incident on the projection lens 12.

For each of the 11 light emitting units 430, partition walls 436 extending in the vertical direction parallel to the optical axis Ax are arranged on the left and right sides of the lens 434. Each of these partition walls 436 is supported by a base member 422.

The front edge of each partition wall 436 is located slightly behind the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12. The side surface of each of these partition walls 436 on the lens 434 side is configured as a reflective surface.

The light pattern PH5 and FIG. 6B are diagrams showing an intermediate light distribution pattern PM5.

The high beam light distribution pattern PH5 shown in FIG. 6A is formed as a composite light distribution pattern of the low beam light distribution pattern PL5 and the high beam additional light distribution pattern PF.

The low beam light distribution pattern PL5 is formed in the same shape as the low beam light distribution pattern PL1 of the above embodiment.

The additional light distribution pattern PF is formed as a composite light distribution pattern of 11 light distribution patterns Pf.

Each of these light distribution patterns Pf is a light distribution pattern formed as an inverted projection image of the light source image of the light emitting element 432 formed on the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12 by the light from each light emitting unit 430.

Is formed in. This is because the reflected light from the reflector 16 and the emitted light from each light emitting unit 430 cause a slight gap (that is, a gap corresponding to the plate thickness of the shade 420) in the region passing through the rear focal plane of the projection lens 12. It is due to the fact that it ends up.

On the other hand, each of these light distribution patterns Pf is formed as a bright light distribution pattern in the upper vicinity of the cut-off lines CL1 and CL2. This is because a part of the light emitted from each light emitting unit 430 converges in the lower vicinity of the rear focal point F of the projection lens 12.

The intermediate light distribution pattern PM5 shown in FIG. 3B is a light distribution pattern having an additional light distribution pattern PFm in which a part thereof is missing instead of the additional light distribution pattern PF with respect to the high beam light distribution pattern PH5. It has become.

Even when the configuration of this modification is adopted, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

In this modification, since a part of the light emitted from each light emitting unit 430 converges in the vicinity below the rear focal point F of the projection lens 12, it is formed by the light emitted from each light emitting unit 430. The light distribution pattern to be formed can be formed as a bright light distribution pattern in the vicinity above the cut-off lines CL1 and CL2 of the low beam light distribution pattern PL5.

In the configuration of this modification, if the projection lens 112 of the first modification is used instead of the projection lens 12, the low beam light distribution pattern PL5 and the additional light distribution pattern PF are used in the high beam light distribution pattern PH5. Can be partially overlapped, and its continuity can be enhanced.
