Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is an automotive lamp lens in which a radiator grill, bumper grill, etc. are integrally formed on the side of the lamp lens located in the front of a headlamp, signal lamp, etc. It is related to.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, it is well known that a radiator grille is formed integrally with a lamp rim, or a radiator grille is constructed from a translucent resin panel and made to emit light by irradiating it with light from behind.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, such a light-emitting grille not only has an independent structure, but also requires a dedicated auxiliary light source, resulting in a complicated structure.

In view of this point, an object of the present invention is to provide an automobile lamp lens that is integrally equipped with a light-emitting grille structure.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve this objective, the present invention provides grills 13a, 13b, such as radiator grills and bumper grills, from the lens body 13, 23, 33, 43 located in front of a lamp such as a head lamp or signal lamp, toward the side. 23a, 23b, 33a,
43a was integrally molded, and the reflector 14 located behind the lens body was extended to correspond to the shape of the grille and bonded to the back surface thereof.

Note that the reference numerals in parentheses refer to those of the embodiment described later.

[Effect]

Grills 13a, 13b, 23a, 23b, 33
a, 43a are lens bodies 13, 23, 33, 4
3 and performs the grill function of the main body, and when the radiator emits light, the light is partially transmitted, and is reflected by the reflector 14 to emit light.

[Example of idea]

1 to 3 show a first embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a headlamp 10. FIG.

In FIG. 1, a radiator grill 13a configured to partition a plurality of horizontally elongated ventilation openings 15 is provided on the side of the lamp lens body 13, which performs the original lens function of the headlamp, toward the vehicle interior.
And these end radiator grilles 13b are integrally molded of the same material, for example polycarbonate.

FIG. 2 shows the detailed structure of the headlamp 10, in which a bulb 12 is attached to a housing 11, and a lens body 13 whose inner surface is cut into a lens is attached at the front surface. Further, a reflector 14 that reflects the irradiated light from the bulb 12 is attached to the inner surface of the housing 11 so as to be sandwiched between the reflector 14 and the bulb socket.

The strip-like radiator grille 13a has a U-shaped cross section, extends to the center position in the vehicle width direction, and is integrally connected to the end radiator grille 13b, and has a lens cut formed on its inner surface. Furthermore, the reflector 14 also has grills 13a, 1
The reflector extension part 14 is extended laterally corresponding to the shape of the part 3b, and is integrally formed in this way.
a is the adhesive 16 and the radiator grills 13a, 13
It is joined to the back side of b.

In this way, the radiator grills 13a, 13b
As shown in FIG. 3, the radiator is divided into two parts in the vehicle width direction between the hood 1 and the bumper 2 (FIG. 2b), and the radiator is arranged in two parts in the vehicle width direction between the hood 1 and the bumper 2 (FIG. 2b). grill 2
3a and 23b are integrally molded to extend symmetrically with respect to the center position in the vehicle width direction.

With this structure, the headlamp bulb 1
When 2 lights up, the lens body 1 will function normally.
Light is irradiated forward from 3, and part of the emitted light is transmitted through the radiator grilles 13a, 13b and reflected forward by the reflector extension 14a, so that light is emitted efficiently. Similar light emission occurs from the radiator grilles 23a and 23b on the opposite side.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention. That is,
A lens body 33 is integrally molded for a headlamp and a signal lamp juxtaposed toward the exterior of the vehicle, such as a clearance lamp.
Similarly, a radiator grille 33a is integrally molded in the direction toward the passenger compartment of No. 3 up to the two-divided position.

FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the invention. That is,
The internal lamp is a front signal lamp that is a brake light and direction indicator lamp, and its lens body 43
The side portions of the bumper grille 43a are integrally molded and incorporated into the bumper 2. On the opposite side of this bumper, a lamp lens is similarly installed in a symmetrical manner.

In addition, in each of the above-mentioned examples, the shape of the grill is as follows.
It is not just a plurality of strips, but can be formed into various shapes in consideration of design.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, by using the grill integrally formed with the lamp lens according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a cost-effective grill with a small number of parts. Further, the assembly work is performed smoothly, and work efficiency is improved. moreover,
Since the lamp light is partially transmitted, it becomes a luminous grille, improving the design and increasing safety visibility.
