1 is a view showing a vehicle mood or the like according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of only the main feature parts for a conceptual and clear understanding of the invention, and as a result various modifications of the illustrations are to be expected, and the scope of the invention is not limited by the particular shapes shown in the drawings .

1, a vehicle mood according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a base panel 110, an optical cable 120, a transparent panel 130, and a spacer 140.

First, a mirror surface 111 is formed on the base panel 110. A plurality of through holes 112 are formed to form a pattern. The through hole 112 is formed through one side of the base panel 110 and the other side. The plurality of through holes 112 may have various shapes including a desired pattern, that is, a constellation, a specific character, a symbol, or a picture.

The diameter of the through hole 112 corresponds to the diameter of the optical cable 120. Thus, when the tip of the optical cable 120 is inserted into the through hole 112, the optical cable 120 is fixed to the through hole 112.

At this time, the optical cable 120 may be formed so as to penetrate from both sides of the base panel 110 to the mirror surface 111 on the side opposite to the side where the mirror surface 111 is formed. In addition, the base panel 110 may be formed with a nonwoven fabric 113 in a state where the optical cable 120 is coupled.

Meanwhile, the base panel 110 may be formed of a plate material in the longitudinal direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the shape and size may be suitably changed in consideration of installation positions of the ceiling finishing panel, the instrument panel, the door inner panel, and the like of the vehicle.

The plurality of optical cables 120 may be connected to the light source L by fixing the proximal end portion in a bundle shape. The distal ends of the plurality of optical cables 120 are fitted into the through holes 112, respectively.

2 is a view showing an optical cable coupled to the base panel as a fixing member.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the optical cable 120 can be bonded to the fixing member E containing the epoxy resin in a state where the tip end portion of the optical cable 120 is fitted and fixed to the through hole 112. The fixing material may include a hardening material. At this time, the fixing material may include a 1: 1 ratio between the epoxy resin and the hardening material.

On the other hand, the light source L may be connected to a lamp driving ECU of the vehicle, and may be configured to be turned on and off in conjunction with a head lamp or a tail lamp of the vehicle.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are views showing an optical cable coupled to the base panel with a fixing tab. FIG.

3 and 4, the distal end portions 11 of the plurality of optical cables (120 in FIG. 1) can be fitted into the through holes 112 through the fixing tabs 12, respectively. The fixing tab 12 has a block-shaped fixing block 12C and the fixing block 12C has a coupling hole 12a on the side surface thereof for coupling the distal end 111 of the optical cable. On the other side of the fixed block 12C, a protrusion 12b inserted into the through hole 112 may be extended. An auxiliary optical cable 12d connected to the coupling hole 12a may be inserted into the fixed block 12C to be inserted therein. Therefore. The optical cable 120 is connected to the auxiliary optical cable 12d so that light can be transmitted from the optical cable 120 to the auxiliary optical cable 12d by inserting the tip 11 of the optical cable into the coupling hole 12a.

The fixed block 12c may be made of a synthetic resin material having high strength. The auxiliary optical cable 12d can be obtained by cutting a general optical cable 120 short. In manufacturing the fixing tab 12, a method of inserting a synthetic resin after fixing the auxiliary optical cable 12d inside the mold can be used.

The protruding portion 12b of the fixing block 12c is inserted and fixed to the through hole 112 and then the distal end portion 11 of the optical cable is inserted into the coupling hole 12a of the fixing block 12c.

The vehicle mood configured as described above is configured such that the protruding portion 12b of the fixing block 12c protrudes laterally in the direction in which the main optical cable 11 is connected so that the main optical cable 11 connected to the fixed block 12c, Extends along the outer surface of the inner panel.

Therefore, the optical cable 10 can be firmly fixed to the outer surface of the inner panel to firmly fix the optical cable 10 to the outer surface of the inner panel, and also to fix the optical cable 10 to the through hole 2 There is an advantage in that it becomes simpler.

5 is a view showing a support pipe connecting the optical cable and the light source.

The rear end of the optical cable 120 may be detachably connected to one side of the supporting tube 30. And the light source 20 may be connected to the other side of the support tube 30. The support tube 30 may be formed in a tube shape of a synthetic resin material having both ends opened. A cable fixing portion 31, to which the base end of the optical cable 120 is fixed, The fixing portion 32 can be formed.

The light source 20 may be connected to a control unit 21 for controlling the lighting and a control switch 22 connected to the control unit 21. [ The control unit 21 controls the light source 20 to be continuously turned on or off according to the control signal inputted by operating the control switch 22 so that the light source 20 is flickered in a predetermined pattern . The control switch 22 is provided at one side of the driver's seat of the vehicle and is configured to input a control signal for controlling the lighting unit 20 to turn on or off the light source 20 in accordance with the operation of the driver.

The cable fixing part 31 is configured to have an inner diameter enough to insert the base end of the optical cable 110 so that the base end of the optical cable 10 is inserted into the cable fixing part 31 and fixed with an adhesive such as epoxy resin can do. The light source fixing portion 32 is configured to correspond to the outer diameter of the LED, and the LED can be fixed to the light source fixing portion 32 in a detachable manner.

When the driver operates the control switch 22, the light source 20 is turned on by the control unit 21 and the light of the light source 20 is transmitted through the optical cable 10 to the base panel 110). ≪ / RTI >

On the other hand, the variable tube 180 may be installed in the support tube 30. The variable light-shielding part 180 blocks a part of the light transmitted from the light source 20, thereby realizing various lighting images.

The variable light shield 180 may include a transparent display window 181 and a control unit 182. The translucent display window 181 is disposed across the inside of the support tube 30 and positioned between the light source 20 and the optical cable 10.

6 is a view showing shield patterns of the variable light-shielding portion.

6 (a) to 6 (c), various shield patterns may be implemented in the transparent display window 181. [ In the region where the shield pattern is formed, since light of the light source 20 is not transmitted to the optical cable 10, it is possible to realize an image different from that when there is no shield pattern.

The control unit 182 can control the various shield patterns to be implemented in the light transmissive display window 181.

Through the variable light shield 180, it is possible to realize more various lighting images within the limited through hole 112. [

The transparent panels 130 are disposed apart from the base panel 110 at predetermined intervals. The semi-transparent film 131 is attached to the surface of the transparent panel 130 facing the base panel 110. The semi-transparent film 131 reflects a part of the light irradiated through the optical cable 120 to the mirror surface 111 of the base panel 110.

The color of the semi-transparent film 131 may be different from the color of the light source L. This is because the light passing through the transparent panel 130 irradiated by the optical cable 120 and the light passing through the transparent panel 130 are reflected again through the mirror surface 111, It is to implement lighting image.

The spacer 140 is formed between the base panel 110 and the transparent panel 130 to form a space between the base panel 110 and the transparent panel 130. The spacer 140 may be formed along the rim of the base panel 110 and the transparent panel 130. The spacers 140 may be formed of a rubber material.

Since the base panel 110 and the transparent panel 130 are separated from each other by the spacers 140, the surface light emission image and the stereoscopic light image can be realized through the optical cable 120, which is a point light source.

FIG. 7 is a view showing a path of light reflected by the semi-transparent film and the mirror surface, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a three-dimensional lighting image implemented by the vehicle mood or the like shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7, a part of the light L1 irradiated from the optical cable 120 passes through the transparent panel 130 to form a lit image by direct light. Another part of the light L1 irradiated from the optical cable 120 is reflected by the semi-transparent film 131 and is reflected again on the mirror surface 111. [ A part of the re-reflected light L2 passes through the transparent panel 130 to form a lit image by the reflected light. The other part of the re-reflected light L2 is reflected by the transflective film 131 again and reflected by the mirror surface 111 and a part of the reflected light L3 passes through the transparent panel 130 Thereby forming another lit image by the reflected light.

When this process is repeated, as shown in FIG. 8, lit images P3 of a plurality of reflected lights are formed between the lit image P1 by direct light and the last lit image P2 by reflected light according to the viewing angle . The illuminated images (P1, P2, P3) in the form of point light sources may be gathered to realize an image in the form of a surface light source, or a three-dimensional lit image may be implemented by varying the brightness.

As a result, in addition to the lit image by the direct light which directly expresses the pattern pattern, the lit image by the reflected light is added, and it is possible to produce various moods. In particular, when the colors of the light source L and the semitransparent film 131 are different from each other, since the color of the lit image by the direct light and the color of the lit image by the reflected light are different, There is an advantage.
