Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To provide a lamp structure that can guide a traveling wind or the like to the vehicle-mounted device 31 and obtain a large degree of freedom in the design of the vehicle body. The light emitting assembly 22 is provided with at least one light emitting assembly 22 that can emit light independently, and the light emitting assembly 22 is separated from the housing 21 or is separated from each other and assembled to the housing 21. An air guide passage 23 capable of ventilation is formed between the light emitting assembly 22 and the housing 21.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle lighting structure, and more particularly, to a lighting structure that is configured to allow traveling wind and the like to pass therethrough and to guide the traveling wind to an on-vehicle device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In the case of vehicles, it is required to cool the engine and brake system by guiding the running wind to the inside of the engine room, the condenser of the cooling system or the brake system of the front wheels. For this reason, in the conventional vehicle, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 54-152440, a gap is formed between the vehicle body and the head lamp around the front of the vehicle body located in front of the engine room and the braking device. However, the running wind was introduced from this gap.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-described conventional vehicle, there is a problem in that a aesthetic appearance is impaired and a degree of freedom in design is greatly restricted because a gap needs to be formed in the vehicle body around headlamps and the like. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a vehicle that can guide a traveling wind to an in-vehicle device without impairing the aesthetics and restricting the vehicle design. To do.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a vehicle lighting structure according to the present invention includes at least one light emitting assembly capable of independently emitting light, and the light emitting assembly is separated from a housing or separated from each other. Then, it was assembled in the housing, and a ventilation duct was formed between the light emitting assembly or between the light emitting assembly and the housing.

[0005]

In the vehicle lamp body structure of the present invention, the wind can pass through the air guide path between the light emitting assemblies or between the light emitting assembly and the housing. The wind that has passed around the device can be discharged from between the light emitters.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 6 show a vehicle lamp body structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a front portion of the vehicle, FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged sectional view, and FIG. 3 is a lamp body position. FIG. 4 is a front view of the lamp, FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along arrow 4-4 of FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along arrow 5-5 of FIG. 3, and FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 is a vehicle body, 12 is a vehicle body-integrated bumper attached to the lower front portion of the vehicle body 11, headlamps 13 are provided on the left and right front portions of the vehicle body 11, and FIG. As shown in, the position lamps (lamps) 14 are provided on the left and right sides of the bumper 12 in front of the front wheels 16, respectively. The headlamp 13 is composed of a light bulb, a reflecting mirror, and the like, and the configuration thereof is well known, and therefore description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 6, the position lamp 14 includes a substantially ring-shaped lamp housing (housing) 21 in which four substantially plate-shaped lamp units (light emitting assembly) 22 are mutually predetermined. The lamp housings 21 are assembled so as to be spaced apart from each other and separated from the upper and lower portions of the lamp housing 21, and gaps (air guide paths) 23 are formed between the lamp units 22 and between the lamp housing 21 and the upper and lower lamp units 22, respectively. It As is apparent from FIG. 2 described above, these gaps 23 extend forward and backward so that the front end faces the front of the vehicle and the rear end faces the brake device 31 of the front wheel 16 and opens.

In the lamp unit 22, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a bottom portion of a reflecting mirror 24 having a concave shape in plan view is covered with an inner lens 26 to attach a light bulb 27, and an outer lens 25 is attached to an opening of the reflecting mirror 24. Install. These lamp units 22 have different width-direction dimensions according to the front view shape of the lamp 14, and this difference in dimensions can be easily discriminated from the comparison of FIGS. 3, 4 and 5.

The reflecting mirror 24 has a reflecting surface formed on the inner surface by aluminum vapor deposition or the like, and the inner lens 26 is configured to be colored and transparent such as red or yellow. The outer lens 25 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the upper, lower, left and right sides thereof are painted black. Needless to say, the reflecting mirror 24 is made of resin or metal having a relatively high rigidity, and the inner lens 26 and the outer lens 25 are made of transparent resin such as acrylic.

In this embodiment, when the vehicle is traveling, the wind hits the brake device 31 through the gap 23 between the lamp units 22, and the brake device 31 is cooled. Therefore, it is not necessary to specially form an opening for introducing the wind, the aesthetic appearance is not spoiled, and the degree of freedom in design is not reduced.

It should be noted that although the above-mentioned embodiment exemplifies the position lamp 14 on the front part, it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented on the tail lamp on the rear part. Further, in the above-described embodiment, it is possible to control the direction of the wind and the like by using the lamp unit 22 as a wind guide plate.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the vehicle lighting structure of the present invention, the light emitting assemblies are separated from each other, or the housing and the light emitting assemblies are configured to allow ventilation, and Since the wind is guided to the device via the lamp, the beauty of the appearance is not impaired, and the wind can be guided to the device without lowering the design flexibility.
