Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a lid lamp provided in the trunk lid of a vehicle, such as a passenger car.
In particular, it relates to improvements in its draining structure.

(Prior Art) Among vehicles, for example passenger cars, so-called sedan-type cars are often used, which have a trunk room at the rear end of the car body. As shown in FIG. 1, the trunk compartment 1 has an opening at its upper surface, and can be opened and closed by a trunk lid 2. As shown in FIG. The rear end of the vehicle body 3 is usually provided with tail lamps 4 including brake lamps, back-up lamps, stop lamps, vehicle width lights, and the like. Further, depending on the type of vehicle, a lid lamp 5 is provided on the rear end surface of the trunk lid 2 for nighttime decorative lighting or as a part of a tail lamp.

To further explain the lid lamp 5,
This is constructed as shown in FIG. That is, 6 is a lamp body which has an opening 7 on the rear side end surface of the trunk lid 2 and accommodates a lamp 8 therein. A packing 9 made of rubber is interposed between the trunk lid 2 and the lamp body 6 to provide a watertight structure. lamp body 6
A lamp lens 11 is fitted along the peripheral edge of the opening 7 via a packing 10, and the opening 7 is closed. Furthermore, a bezel 12 serving as a decoration is provided along the peripheral edge of the lamp lens 11. 13
is a molding for shielding the protruding piece 6a of the lamp body 6 that protrudes from the lower end of the bezel 12.

Although the lid lamp 5 is constructed in this way, since the shapes and dimensions of the component parts are not very precise, it is inevitable that some narrow gaps will occur between the parts. Therefore, if water gets on the trunk lid 2 due to rain, etc., the lid lamp 5
Water droplets penetrate and accumulate between the components of the device due to capillary action. For example, water droplets a between the lamp body 6, lamp lens 11, and bezel 12
accumulates. Because it is based on capillary action, it maintains its position without flowing down even with gravity or a certain amount of vibration of the vehicle body as it travels.
Therefore, dust and the like that enter this gap mix with the water droplets, dry, and solidify. Furthermore, it acts to corrode metal parts such as the trunk lid 2. Further, the trunk lid 2 is designed to be opened by the action of a torsion bar, and when fully opened, it comes into contact with a stopper (not shown) with an impact. The water droplets mentioned above often drip due to the impact of this impact.
The so-called raindrops drip into the trunk compartment 1 and wet the stored items.

Thus, it is impossible to eliminate gaps between the components of the lid lamp 5, and it is inevitable that water droplets will enter due to capillary action. Although it would be sufficient to have a structure that prevents water droplets that accumulate in the gap when the trunk lid 2 is opened from dripping into the trunk room 1, this consideration has not been taken in the conventional system.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The present invention forcibly drains the water droplets that accumulate in the gaps between the lid lamp components as described above when the trunk lid is opened, and prevents them from collecting once and dripping into the trunk compartment. However, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle lid lamp structure that allows fluid to flow out smoothly when the trunk lid is closed.

[Structure of the idea]

(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, the present invention provides a lamp body having an opening on the rear end surface of the trunk lid, accommodates the lamp inside the lamp body, and closes the opening with a lamp lens. A bezel, which is a decorative body, is provided along the peripheral edge of the lens and is assembled with a narrow gap between the lenses,
A draining guide rib is integrally provided on the lamp lens, a cup is integrally provided on the lamp body,
This lid lamp structure for a vehicle is characterized by having an outflow hole formed in this cup.

(Function) With this structure, water droplets that accumulate due to capillary action in the gaps between the lamp lens, bezel, and lamp body when the trunk lid is opened are forcibly dropped by the draining guide rib when the trunk lid is opened. With,
Dripping water droplets can be received and collected in the cup, and when the trunk lid is closed, the water collected in the cup can be guided to flow out from the outflow hole.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.The configuration of the rear end of the vehicle, which is an automobile, may be the same as that explained earlier with reference to FIG. applied, and further explanation will be omitted here. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 15 has an opening 7 on the rear end surface of the trunk lid 2 and a lamp 8 inside.
This is a lamp body 15 that houses the lamp body 15. A packing 9 made of rubber is interposed between the trunk lid 2 and the lamp body 15 to provide a watertight structure, which is the same as in the conventional lamp body. A cup 16 is integrally provided on the lower end surface of the lamp body 15. To explain, when the trunk lid 2 is closed, the cup 16 protrudes so that the opening surface is on the rear side and the bottom part is horizontally directed toward the front side, and when the trunk lid 2 is opened, the opening surface faces upward and The bottom protrudes downward. A bezel 12 serving as a decoration is provided along the peripheral edge of the lamp lens 17, as in the conventional case, but a draining guide rib 18, which will be described later, is integrally provided on the lower end of the lamp lens 17. As shown in FIG. 5, the draining guide rib 18 is inserted into a notch 12a provided in the bezel 12 through a gap with the bezel 12, and its lower end is inclined obliquely so as to face the opening surface of the cup 16. It is a good idea to set it up. Incidentally, both the cup 16 and the draining guide rib 18 are provided at a plurality of locations at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the lamp body 15 and the lamp lens 17. On the other hand, an outflow hole 19 is formed in a portion of the peripheral wall near the opening surface of the cup 16. This must be located at the bottom when the trunk lid 2 is closed. As shown in FIG. 2 again, a drain hole 2 is provided on the lowermost surface of the lamp body 15.
0 is punctured. 13 in the figure is the lamp body 15
This is a molding similar to the conventional molding that shields the protruding part of the

Thus, the lid lamp 50 configured in this manner has exactly the same illumination effect as the conventional one.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the lid lamp 50 is exposed to water due to rain or the like, water droplets enter the gaps between the component parts due to capillary action and accumulate there. For example, a in the figure is the accumulated water droplet. This maintains its position without easily falling even if there is a certain amount of body vibration due to gravity or driving.

When the trunk lid 2 is opened, the opening surface of the cup 16 will be at the top, as shown in FIG. 3, and the draining guide rib 18 will be positioned above this. Water droplets a accumulated in the gap are removed by the draining guide rib 18
The liquid flows along the slope of the cup 16, and due to the impact when the trunk lid 2 is opened, it comes out of the gap and collects in the cup 16.

When the luggage compartment 1 is loaded and unloaded and the trunk lid 2 is closed again, the opening surface of the cup 16 faces in the original horizontal direction and the outflow hole 19 faces downward, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the water in the cup 16 immediately flows out from the outflow hole 19,
It flows along the inner bottom of the lamp body 15. A drain hole 20 is bored in this surface, so water flows out from here. That is, water droplets that accumulate in the gaps between the components of the lid lamp 50 due to capillary action can be smoothly removed to the outside as the trunk lid 2 is opened and closed.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, although it has a relatively simple configuration, water droplets that accumulate in the gap can be smoothly removed to the outside, and even when the trunk lid is opened, the water droplets do not wet the trunk compartment, and the dust in the gap can be removed. It does not solidify even if it invades, resulting in practical effects and improved aesthetics.
