Description
The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp device, and more particularly, to a vehicle lamp device that highlights only the target to the driver by irradiating light only to the target.
In general, a lamp is a device that generates power by receiving power from a battery or the like, and a vehicle lamp device installed in an automobile radiates light forward to secure a driver's view. As a light source for a vehicle lamp device, a halogen lamp or a gas-spinning lamp is usually used. However, recently, LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) which have low power consumption and excellent brightness are used as light sources.
The vehicle lamp device detects night pedestrians using a near-infrared camera to reduce traffic accidents of night pedestrians, and transmits the detected information to the ECU so that the vehicle lamp device can accurately illuminate the pedestrians.
In the conventional vehicle lamp device, a mechanical optical module and a multi-module fixed optical module are used.
The mechanical optical module is a mechanically driven lamp device, which allows accurate and continuous target tracking but has a long reaction time of the driving unit, does not detect a single target, and high system cost by mounting the driving unit.
In addition, the multi-module fixed optical module sets a different light distribution area for each module to irradiate light to the light distribution area set upon recognition of pedestrians, and so on. Although there is an advantage that the cost can be reduced because it can be deleted, it takes up a lot of the internal space of the lamp device, and since the separate modules are distributed, there is a problem that it is difficult to accurately set the respective light distribution area.
On the other hand, in general, a vehicle lamp device, the light irradiated from the light source unit, such as the LED is reflected through the reflector formed on the inner surface of the housing disposed to surround the light source unit, and then refracted through the front lens unit to finally target the target The light will be irradiated.
However, the reflector is formed by smoothly depositing the inner surface of the housing with an aluminum material in order to easily reflect light, such as a mirror surface, which is not a problem in the reflector where the deposition of the aluminum material is well performed, but some aluminum materials In the part of the reflector that is missing or poorly deposited, the light emitted from the light source does not reflect, and thus the emitted light does not satisfy the light distribution by leaving the intended path, or the light of the light pattern is irradiated, or some light This unirradiated dark part occurred and there existed a problem of reducing the overall optical performance.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a vehicle lamp device for selectively irradiating light only to pedestrians.
In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle lamp device having a high beam function as well as for pedestrian lighting.
In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a lamp device for a vehicle that does not degrade the overall optical performance.
The problems of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle lamp device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light source unit including a plurality of light sources that are individually turned on to irradiate light, and is spaced apart from the front side of the light source unit, And a housing disposed to surround the light source, and a reflector configured to enclose the light source unit and reflecting light emitted from the light source unit in a direction in which the lens unit is provided, wherein the reflector includes a hexagon ( A plurality of hexagonal unit reflection surfaces are formed on all inner surfaces of the housing.
In addition, the plurality of unit reflection surfaces may be formed such that the length becomes longer and the width becomes narrower toward the central axis of the rear end of the housing.
In addition, the plurality of light sources may be LEDs.
In addition, the lens unit may be formed of an aspherical lens.
The apparatus may further include a shield disposed between the light source unit and the lens unit to block a part of light emitted from the light source unit, and the unit reflection surface may be formed only up to a position where the shield is disposed.
According to the vehicle lamp device of the present invention has one or more of the following effects.
First, by separately irradiating light to a desired target such as pedestrians to prevent excessive glare around, there is an advantage of reducing the risk of driving by selecting only pedestrians and the like.
Second, there is an advantage to significantly reduce the number of parts used in the vehicle lamp device to reduce the cost, and to reduce the weight.
Third, there is also an advantage to save energy by using the LED light source.
Fourth, there is an advantage to implement the function of high beam (High Beam) as well as for pedestrian lighting.
Fifth, there is an advantage in that it is possible to prevent the degradation of the emotional quality of consumers, such as the generation of dark areas and unsatisfactory light distribution, without degrading the overall optical performance of the vehicle lamp device.
Effects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned effects, and other effects not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims.
