Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Industrial Application Field>> The present invention relates to a door mirror with an auxiliary light, and particularly to a door mirror with an auxiliary light that effectively controls downward light emitted from the auxiliary light.

《Conventional technology》 Conventionally, door mirrors with auxiliary lights, such as the 1980s
-The door mirrors disclosed in Publication No. 65147, etc.
A lamp section with a blind is provided at the lower part of the mirror housing of the door mirror, and the blind prevents light from being emitted upward.

<<Problems to be solved by the invention>> However, in the conventional configuration described above, since the light from the lamp part is prevented from being emitted upward by the blind, the amount of emitted light may be reduced by the blind. However, there was a problem in that the shadow of the blind was projected onto the irradiated area, impairing visibility.

In this invention, the light from the light source is controlled by a reflector and a lens, and is emitted to the outside from the optical path formed in the louver, so that the amount of emitted light does not decrease, and moreover, the louver is within the irradiation range. To provide a door mirror with an auxiliary light that does not cast shadows and deteriorate visibility.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention provides a door mirror with an auxiliary light, which includes a mirror housing having a mirror, a base for attaching the mirror housing to the vehicle body, and an auxiliary light disposed on the mirror housing. The auxiliary light includes a light source that includes a bulb and a socket, and a light source that is installed in a lamp housing that is provided below the mirror housing so that the socket side is located on the base side, and a light source that is installed in the lamp housing that has one end on the base side. a circular reflector with the other end located in front of the light source; and a circular reflector that is attached to the lamp housing so as to be located behind the bulb of the light source, and reflects a part of the light emitted from the light source to the circular reflector. a parabolic reflector that converts the incident light emitted by the light source and the direct light from the light source into parallel light; a lens that controls the parallel light from the parabolic reflector in a downward direction; and a lens disposed in front of the lens. It is characterized by being equipped with a louver.

《Operation》 The present invention uses a circular reflector to reflect light outside the irradiation range out of the light emitted from the light source installed in the lamp housing of the auxiliary light installed at the bottom of the mirror housing. The light incident on the parabolic reflector is reflected toward the front of the lamp housing along with the light directly incident from the light source to obtain parallel light. The parallel light is focused by a lens disposed in an opening in front of the lamp housing and is controlled downward. The controlled reflected light passes through an optical path formed in a louver disposed in front of the lens and exits to the outside, illuminating a desired irradiation range.

<<Example>> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

1 is a front view of essential parts of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 1.

As shown in the figure, in the present invention, a mirror housing 2 having a mirror 1 is attached to a vehicle body via a base 10.

An auxiliary light 3 is provided at the bottom of the mirror housing 1.

The auxiliary light 3 includes a lamp housing 4 having a boat shape along the longitudinal direction on the lower side of the mirror housing 1, a light source 5 provided inside the lamp housing 4, a circular reflector 6, and a parabolic reflector 7. , opening 41 of lamp housing 4
A lens 8 and a louver 9 are provided.

The light source 5 consists of a bulb 51 and a socket 52, and is attached to the bottom wall 42 of the lamp housing 4 so that the socket 52 side is located on the base side, and is connected to the outside via a cord 53.

The circular reflector 6 is attached to the lamp housing 4 with one end facing the base 10, and the other end is located in front of the light source 5, and the circular reflector 6 is attached to the lamp housing 4 with one end facing the base 10.
Of the emitted light, the light emitted toward the base 10 is reflected toward the parabolic reflector 7.

The parabolic reflector 7 is attached to the lamp housing 4
The lamp housing is attached to the lamp housing so as to be disposed behind the bulb along the longitudinal direction of the bottom surface 42 of the lamp housing.

Further, in the opening 41 of the lamp housing 4, there is a lens 8 having a convex prism 81 formed on the bulb 51 side, and an optical path 91 extending diagonally downward in front of the lens 8.
A louver 9 having a diameter is provided. When the auxiliary light 3 configured as described above is turned on, the light emitted from the bulb 51 toward the base 10 is reflected by the circular reflector 6, enters the parabolic reflector 7, and becomes parallel light. , reflected forward. On the other hand, the direct light that directly enters the parabolic reflector 7 becomes parallel light and is reflected forward by the parabolic reflector 7.

The reflected light reflected by the parabolic reflector 7 enters the prism 81 of the lens 8, and is controlled diagonally downward and output.

This controlled emitted light passes through the optical path 91 of the louver 9 that is open in the same direction, and illuminates the external illumination range.

《Effect of the invention》 Since the present invention has the configuration shown above, the light emitted from the light source is controlled and focused by two reflectors and a lens, and is directed into the optical path formed by the louver. Because the light is guided, the amount of emitted light does not decrease, and the emitted light is not obstructed by the louvers, so there is no shadow cast and poor visibility of the irradiation area, making it easier for following vehicles to see. It does not dazzle the driver.
