Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Industrial Application Field>> The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp such as a rear combination lamp that is attached to a mounting hole formed in a vehicle body panel.

<<Prior art>> As one of the vehicle lights, for example,
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 5445, a vehicle is known in which the housing is attached to a mounting hole formed in a vehicle body panel. This vehicle lamp has a recess formed at the rear of the housing to avoid a reinforcing portion formed in the middle of the mounting hole, and has a structure in which lamp bulbs are disposed on both sides of this recess. One of the lamp bulbs is held in a temporary holding part formed on the opposite side of the recess before the lamp is assembled, and after the lamp is assembled, it is wrapped around the inside of the reinforcing part to hold the specified bulb. It is designed to be attached to the mounting section. In other words, this bulb mounting part is formed to be rear replaceable, and a mounting hole is formed at the rear of the housing that forms the reflector.The lamp bulb is inserted into the lamp chamber through this mounting hole, and the lamp bulb is inserted into the center of the reflector. It is now being placed in This eliminates the problem of the lamp bulb cord getting in the way when assembling the lamp, making the work easier.

≪Problems that the invention attempts to solve≫ However, in the above-mentioned vehicle lights,
While one lamp bulb is temporarily held, the mounting hole for this lamp bulb is placed in an open state. For this reason, there is a problem in that when the lamp is transported, dirt and debris may enter the lamp chamber through the mounting hole and deteriorate the light distribution of the lamp.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of these problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle lamp that does not impair ease of assembly and does not allow dust to enter the lamp chamber during transportation.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In other words, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the vehicle lamp of the present invention has a reinforcing portion formed in the mounting hole of the vehicle body panel at the rear of the housing. A recess for escape is formed, and a lid part that can be opened and closed is provided in a region that avoids the recess, and a lamp bulb is attached to a holder part formed on the inner wall of the lid part, and each lamp bulb is attached to a holder part formed on the inner wall of the lid part. A connecting cord is arranged on the inner wall of the housing.

<<Operation>> The rear part of the housing is closed by the lid part, and the intrusion of dust from the outside is blocked. Furthermore, since the connection cord of the lamp bulb is arranged inside the housing, it does not get in the way when assembling the lamp. Furthermore, the lamp bulb can be replaced by opening the lid.

<<Embodiment>> FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view showing a vehicle lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the vehicle lamp according to this embodiment, an inner lens 2 and an outer lens 3 are attached in a double structure to the front of a resin housing 1 to define a light chamber, and a pair of lamp bulbs 4 are disposed within this light chamber. It is fitted into a mounting hole 7 formed in the vehicle body panel 6 and fixed by screws or the like. Note that a sealing gasket 5 is interposed between the vehicle body panel 6 and the housing 1.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 2A, the mounting hole 7 of the vehicle body panel 6 has a reinforcing portion 6 formed in the middle.
It is divided into two by a, and each is formed into a substantially rectangular shape.

Further, the housing 1 is formed in a bottomed shape, and a recess 8 for arranging the reinforcing portion 6a is formed in the middle. That is, the recess 8 is recessed toward the front side of the lamp, and serves as an escape into which the reinforcing part 6a is inserted from the rear when the lamp is attached to the vehicle body panel 6.

Furthermore, a pair of lid portions 9 are formed at the rear portion of the housing 1 so as to be located on both sides of the recessed portion 8 .
A pair of lid portions 9 are formed on the housing 1, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lid portions 9 are connected to the housing 1 via thin hinge portions 10 formed along both sides of the recess 8. The thin-walled hinge portion 10 is provided as a fulcrum and is rotatable in the thick-walled direction.
This lid portion 9 is normally locked by a locking member (not shown) such as an elastic body provided on the housing 1.
It closes the lamp chamber, and can be detached from the locking member and rotated rearward by forced manual operation.

A holder part 11 is formed inside each of the lid parts 9, and a lamp bulb 4 is attached to a socket 12 attached to the holder part 11. Further, a connection cord 14 led out from the socket 12 passes through the inner wall of the housing 1 and is connected to a connector 15 provided inside the lid portion 9.

In the vehicle lamp configured as described above, since the light chamber is transported and assembled to the vehicle body panel with the light chamber closed by the lid part 9, there is a possibility that dust may enter the light chamber during transportation. I don't get tired. Also,
Since the connection cord 14 is not exposed at the rear of the lamp, the attachment work to the vehicle body panel 6 can be performed extremely smoothly. Furthermore, if the rear of the lamp attached to the vehicle body faces into the trunk, the cord or socket will not protrude into the trunk and get in the way, unlike the case with rear replaceable lamps. .

Further, FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a schematic longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the same embodiment. In this embodiment, the lid portion 16 is rotatably formed integrally with the lower edge of the housing 1 via a thin hinge portion 17 formed perpendicularly to the recess 8 . In this embodiment as well, the lamp chamber is closed by the lid 16 to prevent dust from entering. Further, by opening the lid portion 16, the bulb can be replaced. In the description of this embodiment, the same members as in the previous embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and may have a structure in which a separate part is formed and attached to the housing, for example.

<<Effects of the invention>> According to the invention, since the vehicle lamp is transported and attached to the vehicle body panel with the lamp chamber closed by the lid, there is no possibility of dust entering the lamp chamber during transportation. It will not get in there and cause the light distribution to deteriorate.
Furthermore, since the connection cord is not exposed at the rear of the lamp, installation work to the vehicle body panel can be carried out extremely smoothly.

Furthermore, if the rear of the lamp attached to the vehicle body faces into the trunk, the cord or socket will not protrude into the trunk and get in the way, unlike the case with rear replaceable lamps. .

The valve can be easily replaced by opening the lid.
