Description

Automotive Halogen Lamp Fixture

The present invention relates to a halogen lamp fixing device for a vehicle, and more particularly to a halogen lamp fixing device for a vehicle that allows the driver to replace the halogen lamp applied to various lighting devices directly.

In general, halogen lamps are mounted on various lighting devices, for example, headlights, turn signals, and tail lights, and are turned on by a power source applied from a battery, so that the driver's field of view is dark when the environment is dark or passes through a tunnel. In addition to securing it to prevent collision with other vehicles in advance.

4 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional halogen lamp fixing device. The halogen lamp 30 consists of a bulb 32 and a socket 34 and a harness connector 36 coupled to the rear side thereof, and the socket 34 is inserted into an opening formed in the reflector 38. The reflector 38 serves to reflect light emitted from the bulb 32 in one direction, that is, straightness.

An elastic member 40 for preventing the flow of the halogen lamp 30 is tightly fixed to the rear surface of the reflector 38 by a fixing screw, and a spring 42 for fixing the halogen lamp 30 to the outside of the socket 34. ) Is fixed.

One end of the spring 42 is fixed to a gap between the fixing bracket 44 and the lamp housing 46 coupled thereto, and the fixing bracket 44 is mounted to the radiator core support member (not shown), and the lamp The housing 46 has a fitting protrusion 46a projecting thereon so as to accommodate the reflector 38 and fitted into the fitting groove 44a formed as an inner surface of the fixing bracket 44.

The conventional halogen lamp fixing device configured as described above is fastened with a fixing screw so that the elastic member 40 is in close contact with the rear surface of the reflector 38, and then the halogen lamp 30 is fixed while the spring 42 is fixed to the outside of the socket 34. ) Socket 34 is inserted into the opening formed in the reflector 38. Then, one end of the spring 42 is fixed to a gap between the fixing bracket 44 and the lamp housing 46 to complete the fixing of the halogen lamp 30.

Subsequently, when the halogen lamp 30 is turned on during the night driving of the vehicle, when a combination switch (not shown) is turned on, its signal is transmitted to a body control module that performs a control command and the battery power is applied to the bulb. (32) lights up.

Therefore, the light emitted from the halogen lamp 30 is irradiated to the front by the reflector to secure a vision when the vehicle is running.

However, since the halogen lamp as described above is fixed to a position that cannot be visually identified, it is not possible to replace it by a general driver because the halogen lamp needs to be replaced sensibly, and thus is replaced by a skilled mechanic. There was a disadvantage in that an additional cost was added.

In addition, since the halogen lamp is fixed with a spring to the fixing bracket and the lamp housing, replacing the halogen lamp after removing the spring increases the replacement time and workmanship, and injuries to the fingers or the like when fixing or removing the spring. There was a problem of wearing.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to fix or remove the halogen lamp fixed holder with respect to the fixing bracket by rotating in one direction, the general driver during the post-maintenance of the halogen lamp halogen lamp It can be replaced directly to reduce the replacement time and cost accordingly, and to provide a halogen lamp fixing device for a vehicle that can prevent injuries such as fingers in advance.

Features of the present invention for achieving the above object, and a holder for fixing a halogen lamp consisting of a bulb and a socket; A fixing bracket injection molded into a lamp housing to couple the holder; It is mounted to the fixing bracket and consists of locking means for locking and releasing the holder.

The locking means according to the present invention is provided with a leaf spring for locking or releasing the holder.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a halogen lamp fixing device for a vehicle according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exploded perspective view showing a halogen lamp fixing device of the present invention, Figure 2 is a perspective view of the halogen lamp fixing device shown in Figure 1 assembled.

The fixing device of the present invention is injection-molded in the lamp housing 20 to couple the holder 10 and the holder 10 provided so that the halogen lamp 30 consisting of the bulb 32 and the socket 34 is fixed. And a locking means for locking and releasing the holder 10 attached to the fixing bracket 22 and the fixing bracket 22.

The rear of the holder 10 is integrally mounted with a harness connector 12 to which the socket 34 of the halogen lamp 30 is fixed, and a plurality of protrusions 14 spaced 120 degrees apart from the outer circumference of the holder 12. Protruding from both sides of the projection 14 is formed a hemisphere groove (14a) in the vertical direction.

On the circumferential surface of the fixing bracket 22, a plurality of insertion grooves 22a into which the protrusions 14 of the holder 10 are inserted are recessed to a predetermined depth, and tapered holes are formed on both side walls of the insertion groove 22a. 22b) is communicated. Here, the taper hole 22b is for returning the locking means to the initial position when the projection 14 is completely inserted into the insertion groove 22a.

The locking means is locked in the hemispherical groove 14a of the protrusion 14 and the leaf spring 24 bent into a hemispherical shape moving along the taper hole 22b when the protrusion 14 is fully inserted into the insertion groove 22a. Is done.

The operation of the halogen lamp fixing device for a vehicle according to the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

The holder 10 is coupled to the fixing bracket 22 formed integrally with the lamp housing 20. That is, the plurality of protrusions 14 protruding on the outer circumference of the holder 10 are positioned in the insertion groove 22a formed in the circumferential surface of the fixing bracket 22. At this time, the bottom surface of the projection 14 and the outer surface of the leaf spring 24 fitted in the tapered hole 22b maintains the contact state.

Thereafter, when the holder 10 is pressurized, at least one of the leaf springs 24 is bent by the pressing force to move along the taper hole 22b to easily insert the projection 14 into the insertion groove. Expand the width w.

When the protrusion 14 is completely inserted into the insertion groove 22a and the bottom surface of the protrusion 14 contacts the bottom surface, the leaf spring 24 moved along the taper hole 22b is inserted by its restoring force. A part of the groove 22a is protruded and locked into the hemisphere groove 14a formed on both sides of the protrusion 14. In this state, the socket 34 of the halogen lamp 30 is passed through the opening formed in the reflector 38 to be fixed to the harness connector 12.

On the other hand, when the halogen lamp is replaced, when the holder 10 coupled to the fixing bracket 22 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, the leaf spring 24 located in the rotational direction is applied to the rotational force of the protrusion 14. The leaf spring 24 moved to the taper hole 22b and positioned in the other direction is released from the hemispherical groove 14a of the protrusion 14 so that the holder 10 can be simply held against the fixing bracket 22. It can be removed.

Therefore, the halogen lamp can be directly replaced by a general driver, thereby reducing costs and preventing injuries caused by replacement.

As described above, according to the halogen lamp fixing device for a vehicle according to the present invention, by fixing or removing while rotating the holder in which the halogen lamp is fixed with respect to the fixing bracket in one direction, a general driver easily repairs the halogen lamp during the post maintenance of the halogen lamp. As well as the replacement time and costs are reduced as well as replacement, it is possible to prevent injuries such as fingers in advance.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described specific preferred embodiments, and any person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims. Of course, such changes will fall within the scope of the claims.
