Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to an auxiliary headlight lamp for vehicles, and more specifically, to efficiently illuminate areas that cannot be adequately illuminated by vehicle headlights alone. Regarding the headlight auxiliary lamp.

[Prior Art] Vehicles, especially automobiles, are equipped with headlights as lighting means for illuminating the front of the vehicle at night, but these headlights illuminate only the front of the vehicle in a fixed manner. When the car is running, there is insufficient light on both sides of the front. To compensate for this lack of light, an auxiliary headlamp, such as a fog lamp or a spotlight, is used as necessary and fixed in the desired direction.

In order to ensure a sufficient amount of light in front of the car and on both sides of the car when driving in sports, high speeds, rally races, or on mountain roads with many curves, increase the amount of power supplied to the auxiliary lamps or the number of auxiliary lamps. It is necessary to do so.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in order to increase the amount of power supplied to the auxiliary lamps or the number of auxiliary lamps, there is a problem in that it is necessary to install additional power supply equipment such as batteries and power generators. Ta.

[Means for solving the problems] The present invention was made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to increase the power supply equipment such as batteries and generators, and to increase the amount of power supplied to the auxiliary lamps. To obtain an auxiliary headlamp for a vehicle that does not require an increase in the number of auxiliary lamps.

[Means for solving the problem] The auxiliary headlight lamp for vehicles related to this invention is
A lighting means, a fixing means for fixing the lighting means to the vehicle, a swinging means for reciprocating the lighting means at a speed higher than a speed at which an afterimage effect occurs on an object irradiated with the lighting means, and movement of the vehicle. The above-mentioned problem has been solved by comprising a swing angle control means that changes the swing angle of the swing means in accordance with the speed so that the swing angle becomes smaller as the speed increases.

[Function] The above-mentioned auxiliary headlight lamp for a vehicle can irradiate the lamp by swinging the lighting means consisting of a lamp, a reflector, etc. by the swinging means, so that the lamp illuminates the front of the vehicle, especially both front sides. The range can be expanded without increasing the power supply of the auxiliary lamps or the number of auxiliary lamps.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates an automobile, and reference numeral 2 indicates an auxiliary headlamp which is an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the auxiliary headlamp 2. The auxiliary headlamp 2, which is an embodiment of the present invention, includes a lamp 8 serving as a light source, a magnet 11 for magnetically fixing the auxiliary headlamp 2 to the bonnet of the automobile 1, and a scratch-proof cover molded from a rubber material. fixing means 13 consisting of a sheet 12;
A swinging mechanism 17 consisting of a gear unit and an electric motor 15 for reciprocating the reflector 9 of the lamp 8 at a speed higher than the speed at which an afterimage effect occurs when viewing an object illuminated by the lamp, and a swinging mechanism 17 that It is comprised of a control means programmed to control the swing angle of the swing mechanism 17, which changes the swing angle of the swing mechanism 17 so that it becomes smaller as the speed of the automobile increases. These control means are all well-known techniques and are therefore not particularly illustrated. Further, the auxiliary headlamp 2 includes an exterior cover 16, a glass cover 10, and a waterproof exterior lens cover 18 for protecting the lamp 8, swing mechanism 17, etc. from rain and wind from the outside. In addition, as shown in FIG.
A power source 14 for driving the lamp 8, swing mechanism 17, etc. is inserted in the holder.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.
As shown in Fig. 1, a light beam 3 emitted from an auxiliary headlamp 2, which is an embodiment of the present invention, sequentially causes afterimages of objects 4, 5, 6, and 7 in the front direction and on both sides of the front direction while the vehicle is running. Irradiate the object at a speed higher than that at which the effect occurs, that is, irradiate the object at a rate higher than the number of times that is generally said to require irradiation of the object at least 30 times per second to produce the afterimage effect. As such, the reflecting mirror 9 of the lamp 8 is moved back and forth by the swinging mechanism 17.

[Effect of the invention] The auxiliary headlight lamp for a vehicle according to the present invention can oscillate the lighting means consisting of a lamp, a reflector, etc. by the swinging means, so that it can illuminate the front of the vehicle, especially both front sides. The range can be expanded without increasing the number of auxiliary lamps.
