Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a movable rear spoiler device with a high mount stop lamp attached to the rear end of an automobile.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, some passenger cars and the like have a rear spoiler mounted on the upper surface of the rear end portion of the body, but as the speed of automobiles has increased in recent years, as shown in FIG. It has been proposed that a movable rear spoiler portion 4 whose edge rotates upward with respect to the fixed spoiler portion 3 is provided so that the lift of the vehicle at high speed can be further suppressed.

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 is an automobile body, and 2 is a rear spoiler leg portion which is erected on the body 1.

Furthermore, in order to increase the recognition from the following vehicles at high speed, so-called high mount stop lamps HL are provided not only on the rear part of the body 1 but also on the rear edge part of the movable rear spoiler part 4 located at a high place. Can be considered.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the stop lamp HL provided on the movable rear spoiler portion 4 which rotates in this way is as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5 when the movable rear spoiler portion 4 is in a horizontal state. Shows that the optical axis of the lamp HL is directed rearward in the horizontal direction as shown by the arrow a, but as shown by the chain line in FIG. 5, when the movable rear spoiler portion 4 is rotated upward. Since the visual axis of the lamp HL is directed upward as shown by the arrow b, there is a problem that the degree of recognition of the following vehicle is reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems,
Even when the movable rear spoiler part is horizontal or rotated upward, the high mount stop lamp can always be illuminated in the rear horizontal direction.
It is an object to provide a movable rear spoiler device with a high mount stop lamp.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, a movable rear spoiler device with a high mount stop lamp according to the present invention is attached to a rear end portion of a vehicle, and a part of the movable rear spoiler device can be vertically rotated. In the movable rear spoiler portion, a high mount stop lamp is rotatably provided rearward, and the high mount stop lamp and the rotary shaft of the movable rear spoiler portion are linked and connected through a parallel link mechanism. The high mount stop lamp is configured to irradiate the rear side at all times by interlocking with the movement of the movable rear spoiler portion via the parallel link mechanism.

[Operation] In the movable rear spoiler device with a high mount stop lamp according to the present invention described above, when the movable rear spoiler portion is moved, the high mount stop lamp is interlocked with the movement of this movable rear spoiler portion through the parallel link mechanism. The stop lamp always illuminates the rear.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, a movable rear spoiler apparatus with a high mount stop lamp will be described as an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the movable rear spoiler apparatus when the movable rear spoiler portion is in a horizontal state, FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the movable rear spoiler device when the movable rear spoiler part is in an upward state, FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view of a vehicle equipped with this device, and FIG. 4 is the irradiation direction of its high mount stop lamp. It is a schematic diagram for explaining
In FIGS. 1 to 4, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 5 indicate almost the same parts.

As shown in FIG. 3, the movable rear spoiler device according to the present invention is mounted in the vehicle width direction on the upper surface of the rear end of the body 1 of the vehicle through the legs 2 and 2, and extends from the front to both sides. It consists of a fixed rear spoiler part 3 and a movable rear spoiler part 4 which occupies most of the middle part of the rear part. It is rotated within the range of the oriented state, and up to this configuration is almost the same as the conventional one.

Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the movable rear spoiler portion 4
Inside, the base portion 7A (base portion of the parallel link mechanism) fitted to the rotary shaft 5 and the square rods 6, 6 pivotally supported at the upper and lower portions of the base portion 7A are linked for axial support and connected. Lamp mounting part 7
B and B form a parallel link mechanism and are rotatably provided.

Further, on the surface portion of the lamp mounting portion 7B, a plurality of emitting diodes (LEDs) or a high mount stop lamp 8 (horizontal direction is omitted in the drawing) in the horizontal longitudinal direction in which lamps are arranged in parallel is provided.

As a result, the high mount stop lamp 8 and the rotary shaft of the movable rear spoiler portion 4 are linked and connected via the parallel link mechanism.

In addition, a substantially cylindrical lens-like, for example, red transparent cover 9 that covers the high mount stop lamp 8 is attached to the lamp mounting portion 7B.
The cover 9 is inscribed in the rear edge opening of the movable rear spoiler portion 4, and its surface is exposed to the outside.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the movable rear spoiler portion 4
When the lamp is rotated upward, the height of the lamp mounting portion 7B rises together with the rear end of the movable rear spoiler portion 4, but the direction angle of the lamp mounting portion 7B does not change due to the action of the parallel link mechanism. The mount stop lamp 8 is always illuminated in the rearward horizontal direction.

Next, the operation of this device will be described. According to the traveling speed of the vehicle, the movable rear spoiler portion 4 moves from the horizontal direction (see the solid line in FIGS. 1 and 4) to the upward direction (see FIG. 2 and FIG. 2). When rotated to the position shown in FIG. 4, the high mount stop lamp 8 looking into the opening does not change the direction angle of the lamp mounting portion 7B even if it is rotated to the position shown in FIG. As always, the illumination is always directed toward the rear horizontal direction of the vehicle.

For this reason, unlike the conventional problems described above, the rotation of the movable rear spoiler does not cause the visual axis of the high-mount stop lamp to deviate from the rearward horizontal direction. The mount stop lamp can be accurately recognized, and as a result, it is useful for preventing a rear-end collision or the like.

[Advantage of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the movable rear spoiler device with a high mount stop lamp of the present invention, the high mount stop lamp provided at the rear edge of the movable rear spoiler portion and the rotary shaft of the movable rear spoiler portion are provided. Since they are linked and connected via the parallel link mechanism, the direction angle of the high mount stop lamp does not change even if the height position of the high mount stop lamp changes in conjunction with the movement of the movable rear spoiler part. The optical axis moves up and down, but the direction angle does not move, and the high mount stop lamp is always illuminated toward the rear horizontal direction of the vehicle. Therefore, even if the movable rear spoiler part is rotated up and down, the high mount stop lamp is always correctly recognized by the following vehicle, which has an effect of helping to prevent a rear-end collision accident.
