Description

この発明は、LED(Light Emitting Diode)を光源に用いる車両用灯具に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp using an LED (Light Emitting Diode) as a light source.

車両用灯具は、夜間の視野を確保するために大光量を要求される。また、車両用灯具は、マイナス40度程度の低い環境温度域から100度程度の高い環境温度域までの範囲で同じ光量を要求される。 Vehicle lighting fixtures are required to have a large amount of light in order to secure a field of view at night. Further, vehicle lamps are required to have the same amount of light in a range from a low environmental temperature range of about -40 degrees to a high environmental temperature range of about 100 degrees.

車両用灯具の光源として用いられるLEDは、環境温度の上昇及び発光時に自身で生じる熱により発光強度が低下するという性質を持つ。そのため、高温下でも十分な発光強度を維持するためには、LEDの熱を効率よく外部に放出する構造が必要となる。 LEDs used as light sources for vehicle lamps have the property that the emission intensity decreases due to the rise in environmental temperature and the heat generated by themselves during light emission. Therefore, in order to maintain sufficient emission intensity even at high temperatures, a structure that efficiently releases the heat of the LED to the outside is required.

従来、車両用灯具で用いられるLEDの放熱構造は、LEDがはんだ付けされた樹脂又は金属製のプリント基板を介して放熱部材へ放熱する構造であった(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 Conventionally, the heat dissipation structure of an LED used in a vehicle lamp has a structure in which the LED dissipates heat to a heat dissipation member via a soldered resin or metal printed circuit board (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開2014−197550号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-197550

従来の車両用灯具は、LEDと放熱部材との間にプリント基板が介在するので、LEDの熱を放熱部材に直接的に伝達することができず、プリント基板の熱抵抗分だけ放熱能力が低下してしまうという課題があった。 In conventional vehicle lighting fixtures, since the printed circuit board is interposed between the LED and the heat radiating member, the heat of the LED cannot be directly transferred to the heat radiating member, and the heat radiating capacity is reduced by the thermal resistance of the printed circuit board. There was a problem of doing it.

ところで、光学レンズがLEDから出射される光を直接受光して当該光を車両前方に投射する投射タイプの車両用灯具では、光学レンズとLEDとの位置精度がそのまま配光制御の精度に直結する。そのため、当該投射タイプの車両用灯具において、配光を適切に制御するためには、LEDと光学レンズとの位置決めを高精度に行う必要がある。 By the way, in a projection type vehicle lamp in which an optical lens directly receives light emitted from an LED and projects the light in front of the vehicle, the positional accuracy between the optical lens and the LED is directly linked to the accuracy of light distribution control. .. Therefore, in the projection type vehicle lamp, it is necessary to position the LED and the optical lens with high accuracy in order to appropriately control the light distribution.

この発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、上記投射タイプの車両用灯具において、放熱能力の向上と適切な配光制御の両立を図ることを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to achieve both improvement of heat dissipation capacity and appropriate light distribution control in the above-mentioned projection type vehicle lamp.

この発明に係る車両用灯具は、前面に出射部を有するLEDと、LEDの背面を開放する開口部が設けられたLED載置部とLEDに給電する給電部とを有するホルダと、開口部を通じてLEDに直接接触する放熱部材と、LEDから出射される光を直接受光して当該光を車両前方に投射する光学レンズと、LEDとホルダとの位置決めを行う第一位置決め部と、ホルダと光学レンズとの位置決めを行う第二位置決め部とを備えるものである。 The vehicle lamp according to the present invention has an LED having an LED on the front surface, a holder having an LED mounting portion provided with an opening for opening the back surface of the LED, and a feeding portion for supplying power to the LED, and through the opening. A heat radiating member that comes into direct contact with the LED, an optical lens that directly receives the light emitted from the LED and projects the light toward the front of the vehicle, a first positioning unit that positions the LED and the holder, and a holder and an optical lens. It is provided with a second positioning unit for positioning with.

この発明によれば、光学レンズがLEDから出射される光を直接受光して当該光を車両前方に投射する投射タイプの車両用灯具において、放熱能力の向上と適切な配光制御の両立を図ることができる。 According to the present invention, in a projection type vehicle lamp in which an optical lens directly receives light emitted from an LED and projects the light in front of the vehicle, both improvement of heat dissipation capacity and appropriate light distribution control are achieved. be able to.

In the following, vehicle lighting fixtures will be described with reference to the front-rear, up-down, and left-right directions of the vehicle.

図3は、実施の形態1における第一板状部材9を示す平面図であり、LED8が載置されていない状態を示す。図4は、実施の形態1における第一板状部材9を示す平面図であり、LED8が載置された状態を示す。LED8は、前面に出射部8aと電極部8bとを有する。LED8の前面には、光学レンズ2が対向する。光学レンズ2は、例えば、透明な樹脂製である。 FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the first plate-shaped member 9 according to the first embodiment, and shows a state in which the LED 8 is not mounted. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the first plate-shaped member 9 according to the first embodiment, and shows a state in which the LED 8 is mounted. The LED 8 has an exit portion 8a and an electrode portion 8b on the front surface. The optical lens 2 faces the front surface of the LED 8. The optical lens 2 is made of, for example, a transparent resin.

ホルダ100は、一対の板状部材である第一板状部材9と第二板状部材3とからなる。第一板状部材9及び第二板状部材3は、例えば、樹脂成形品である。第一板状部材9は、LED8を載置するLED載置部9aを有する。LED載置部9aには、LED8の背面を剥き出しの開放状態にする開口部9bが設けられている。また、図3に示されるように、開口部9bの四隅には、それぞれ、LED8を載置する座面となるLED載置座面9fが設けられている。なお、LED載置座面9fの形状、個数、及び位置は、図3の例に限定されない。また、第一板状部材9の前面には、第一板状部材9が第二板状部材3に組み付くための2個の凸形状部9d及び2個の爪9eが設けられている。さらに、第一板状部材9には、2個の締結部材1を貫通させる2個の貫通穴1aが設けられている。 The holder 100 is composed of a pair of plate-shaped members, a first plate-shaped member 9 and a second plate-shaped member 3. The first plate-shaped member 9 and the second plate-shaped member 3 are, for example, resin molded products. The first plate-shaped member 9 has an LED mounting portion 9a on which the LED 8 is mounted. The LED mounting portion 9a is provided with an opening 9b that exposes the back surface of the LED 8 to an open state. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, LED mounting seat surfaces 9f, which serve as seat surfaces for mounting the LEDs 8, are provided at the four corners of the opening 9b, respectively. The shape, number, and position of the LED mounting seat surface 9f are not limited to the example of FIG. Further, on the front surface of the first plate-shaped member 9, two convex-shaped portions 9d and two claws 9e for assembling the first plate-shaped member 9 to the second plate-shaped member 3 are provided. Further, the first plate-shaped member 9 is provided with two through holes 1a through which the two fastening members 1 pass through.

第二板状部材3は、光学レンズ2とLED8とに対向する位置に設けられた開口部3aを有する。LED8の出射部8aから出射された光は、開口部3aを通って光学レンズ2に入射する。また、第二板状部材3には、第一板状部材9の凸形状部9dが係合する凹形状部3bが2個設けられている。さらに、第二板状部材3には、2個の締結部材1を貫通させる2個の貫通穴1aが設けられている。 The second plate-shaped member 3 has an opening 3a provided at a position facing the optical lens 2 and the LED 8. The light emitted from the exit portion 8a of the LED 8 passes through the opening 3a and enters the optical lens 2. Further, the second plate-shaped member 3 is provided with two concave-shaped portions 3b with which the convex-shaped portion 9d of the first plate-shaped member 9 is engaged. Further, the second plate-shaped member 3 is provided with two through holes 1a through which the two fastening members 1 pass through.

第一板状部材9に第二板状部材3が組み付くことにより、第一板状部材9と第二板状部材3とが一体となり、LED8のホルダ100として機能する。図示例では、第一板状部材9の凸形状部9dが第二板状部材3の凹形状部3bに係合すると共に、第一板状部材9の爪9eが第二板状部材3の縁部に引っ掛かることにより、第一板状部材9と第二板状部材3とが互いに密着した状態に組み付く。なお、第一板状部材9と第二板状部材3の組み付け方法は、図示例に限定されない。 By assembling the second plate-shaped member 3 to the first plate-shaped member 9, the first plate-shaped member 9 and the second plate-shaped member 3 are integrated and function as the holder 100 of the LED 8. In the illustrated example, the convex portion 9d of the first plate-shaped member 9 engages with the concave-shaped portion 3b of the second plate-shaped member 3, and the claw 9e of the first plate-shaped member 9 is the second plate-shaped member 3. By being caught on the edge portion, the first plate-shaped member 9 and the second plate-shaped member 3 are assembled in close contact with each other. The method of assembling the first plate-shaped member 9 and the second plate-shaped member 3 is not limited to the illustrated example.

LED8を保持した状態のホルダ100は、光学レンズ2に組み付けられ、続いて光学レンズ2とホルダ100は、締結部材1によりヒートシンク10に固定される。光学レンズ2には、2個の締結部材1を貫通させる2個の貫通穴1aが設けられている。ヒートシンク10には、2個の締結部材1が締結される2個の締結穴1bが設けられている。このヒートシンク10は、例えば、アルミダイカスト製である。LED8の背面は、開口部9bを通じてヒートシンク10に直接接触する。図示例では、ヒートシンク10に、開口部9b内に突出してLED8の背面に接触する凸形状が設けられているが、平面であってもよい。ヒートシンク10が平面である場合、ヒートシンク10上に熱伝導コンパウンド等の放熱部材を設け、この熱伝導コンパウンド等をLED8の背面に直接接触させればよい。なお、ヒートシンク10に上記凸形状が設けられている場合にも、LED8と上記凸形状との間に熱伝導コンパウンド等の放熱部材を介在させてもよい。 The holder 100 holding the LED 8 is assembled to the optical lens 2, and then the optical lens 2 and the holder 100 are fixed to the heat sink 10 by the fastening member 1. The optical lens 2 is provided with two through holes 1a through which the two fastening members 1 pass through. The heat sink 10 is provided with two fastening holes 1b to which the two fastening members 1 are fastened. The heat sink 10 is made of, for example, aluminum die-cast. The back surface of the LED 8 comes into direct contact with the heat sink 10 through the opening 9b. In the illustrated example, the heat sink 10 is provided with a convex shape that protrudes into the opening 9b and contacts the back surface of the LED 8, but may be flat. When the heat sink 10 is flat, a heat radiating member such as a heat conductive compound may be provided on the heat sink 10 and the heat conductive compound or the like may be brought into direct contact with the back surface of the LED 8. Even when the heat sink 10 is provided with the convex shape, a heat radiating member such as a heat conductive compound may be interposed between the LED 8 and the convex shape.

ここで、締結部材1は、光学レンズ2とホルダ100とを一体的に組み付けてヒートシンク10に固定するものであって、光学レンズ2とホルダ100との位置決めを行うものではない。光学レンズ2の貫通穴1a、第二板状部材3の貫通穴1a、及び第一板状部材9の貫通穴1aの直径は、締結部材1の直径に比して大きく設定されている。即ち、実施の形態1の車両用灯具は、ヒートシンク10を基準としてホルダ100の位置決めを行うものではない。 Here, the fastening member 1 integrally assembles the optical lens 2 and the holder 100 and fixes them to the heat sink 10, and does not position the optical lens 2 and the holder 100. The diameters of the through hole 1a of the optical lens 2, the through hole 1a of the second plate-shaped member 3, and the through hole 1a of the first plate-shaped member 9 are set larger than the diameter of the fastening member 1. That is, the vehicle lamp of the first embodiment does not position the holder 100 with reference to the heat sink 10.

上述したように、実施の形態1の車両用灯具は、LED8の出射部8aから出射した光を光学レンズ2が直接受光して車両前方に投射する投射タイプの車両用灯具である。このタイプでは、光学レンズ2とLED8の位置精度がそのまま配光制御の精度に直結する。そのため、LED8は、本来は何らかの構成で固定されているべきである。しかしながら、従来のようにLED8をはんだでプリント基板に固定した場合、LED8の背面とヒートシンク10との間にプリント基板が介在することとなり、放熱能力が低下する。 As described above, the vehicle lighting equipment of the first embodiment is a projection type vehicle lighting equipment in which the optical lens 2 directly receives the light emitted from the exit portion 8a of the LED 8 and projects it to the front of the vehicle. In this type, the positional accuracy of the optical lens 2 and the LED 8 is directly linked to the accuracy of the light distribution control. Therefore, the LED 8 should be fixed in some form originally. However, when the LED 8 is fixed to the printed circuit board with solder as in the conventional case, the printed circuit board is interposed between the back surface of the LED 8 and the heat sink 10, and the heat dissipation capacity is lowered.

そこで、実施の形態1では、プリント基板を用いずに、LED8の背面を開放したホルダ100を用いることで、放熱能力の向上を図る。即ち、図2に示される通り、ヒートシンク10等の放熱部材がLED8の背面に直接接触することが可能となり、LED8の実装にプリント基板を用いるよりも、放熱能力の向上が期待できる。 Therefore, in the first embodiment, the heat dissipation capacity is improved by using the holder 100 in which the back surface of the LED 8 is opened without using the printed circuit board. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a heat radiating member such as a heat sink 10 can come into direct contact with the back surface of the LED 8, and an improvement in heat radiating capacity can be expected as compared with using a printed circuit board for mounting the LED 8.

また、実施の形態1では、LED8の相対位置を決めて配光制御の精度を保持するために、LED8、第一位置決め部、ホルダ100、第二位置決め部、及び光学レンズ2の相対位置を規定する。 Further, in the first embodiment, in order to determine the relative position of the LED 8 and maintain the accuracy of the light distribution control, the relative positions of the LED 8, the first positioning unit, the holder 100, the second positioning unit, and the optical lens 2 are defined. To do.

図5は、実施の形態1におけるホルダ100とLED8との位置決めを示す平面図である。第一位置決め部は、第一板状部材9の開口部9bの四方を囲むように設けられた突起91,92,93,94により構成される。LED載置座面9fに載置されたLED8の上下左右の位置が、突起91,92,93,94により規制されることにより、LED8が、第一板状部材9上の光学レンズ2に対向する予定の位置に固定される。これにより、第一板状部材9とLED8との位置決めがなされる。また、第二板状部材3には、この第一位置決め部に対向するように弾性部材7が設けられている。弾性部材7は、例えば、板金製である。第一板状部材9と第二板状部材3とが互いに密着した状態において、弾性部材7がLED8の前面に当接し、第一板状部材9側に押圧する。図5では、弾性部材7の一端がLED8前面の左側下端部に当接し、弾性部材7の他端がLED8前面の右側下端部に当接するが、弾性部材7の形状及び当接位置は図5の例に限定されない。LED8が弾性部材7により第一板状部材9側に押圧されることで、LED8のホルダ100からの脱落防止が図られる。さらに、第一板状部材9と第二板状部材3とが互いに密着した状態において、後述する第二給電部4の一端がLED8の電極部8bに当接し、第一板状部材9側に押圧することにより、第二給電部4がLED8の押圧部材としても機能する。これにより、LED8の脱落をより確実に防止できる。 FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the positioning of the holder 100 and the LED 8 in the first embodiment. The first positioning portion is composed of protrusions 91, 92, 93, 94 provided so as to surround the four sides of the opening 9b of the first plate-shaped member 9. The vertical and horizontal positions of the LED 8 mounted on the LED mounting seat surface 9f are regulated by the protrusions 91, 92, 93, 94, so that the LED 8 faces the optical lens 2 on the first plate-shaped member 9. It is fixed at the position where you plan to do it. As a result, the first plate-shaped member 9 and the LED 8 are positioned. Further, the second plate-shaped member 3 is provided with an elastic member 7 so as to face the first positioning portion. The elastic member 7 is made of sheet metal, for example. In a state where the first plate-shaped member 9 and the second plate-shaped member 3 are in close contact with each other, the elastic member 7 comes into contact with the front surface of the LED 8 and presses against the first plate-shaped member 9. In FIG. 5, one end of the elastic member 7 abuts on the lower left end of the front surface of the LED 8, and the other end of the elastic member 7 abuts on the lower right end of the front surface of the LED 8.
