Definitions
- the present invention relates to a headlamp device that provides an appropriate light distribution to a driver when a motorcycle or the like tilts the vehicle body when turning.
- the motorcycle headlamp is directly attached to the vehicle body. For this reason, in a state where the motorcycle is banked at the time of turning, the irradiation area of the headlamp is similarly inclined. “Turning” means changing the direction by drawing a curve. For example, in a motorcycle or a four-wheeled vehicle, turning a curve. “Bank” means tilting the vehicle body inward when turning a curve. Therefore, the breadth of visibility and visibility when turning the motorcycle are lower than when traveling straight.
- Light distribution refers to a light intensity distribution with respect to a space of a light source. That is, the spatial distribution of light emitted from the light source.
- the vehicle body moves in a circle on the bank side of the vehicle body, so the driver's line of sight faces far away inside the banking corner.
- the “bank side” is a direction in which the vehicle body tilts. In the light distribution of the headlamp, it is necessary to correct the traveling direction of the vehicle body in addition to correcting the inclination of the headlamp accompanying the vehicle body inclination.
- the light distribution variable type headlamp described in Patent Document 1 realizes both correction for the inclination of the vehicle body and correction for a change in the traveling direction when the motorcycle turns.
- the reflector is rotated around the front-rear axis (X axis) as a correction for the tilt of the vehicle body. Further, the reflector is rotated around the vertical axis (Z axis) as a correction for the change in the traveling direction. That is, in Patent Document 1, the entire light unit is rotated in order to correct the light distribution.
- Patent Document 1 the entire light unit is driven to correct the light distribution. For this reason, a space that allows the light unit to move is required. As a result, the entire headlamp becomes large. Further, the driving force for moving the entire light unit is increased. As a result, the drive device becomes large.
- the present invention has been made to solve this problem, and realizes correction of light distribution with respect to the inclination of the vehicle body and correction of light distribution with respect to a change in the traveling direction of the vehicle body with a small and simple structure. is there.
- the headlamp device includes a light source that emits light, a base member that holds the light source, a light distribution forming member that forms the light distribution pattern by entering the light, and the light distribution.
- the light forming member is held, the rotating member held by the base member so as to be rotatable about the first rotation axis, and the light on which the light distribution pattern is formed are incident and emitted as projection light,
- the headlight unit that can change the light distribution of the projected light can be downsized.

- Embodiment 1 FIG.
- the front of the headlamp device 100 is defined as the + Z axis direction, and the rear is defined as the ⁇ Z axis direction.
- “front” refers to the traveling direction of the vehicle. That is, “front” is a direction in which the headlamp device irradiates light.
- the left side of the headlamp device 100 is the + X axis direction
- the right side is the ⁇ X axis direction.
- the upward direction (sky direction) of the headlamp device 100 is defined as a + Y axis direction
- the downward direction (ground direction) of the headlamp device 100 is defined as a ⁇ Y axis direction.
- clockwise is the + RZ direction and counterclockwise is the -RZ direction.
- the clockwise direction is the + RX direction and the counterclockwise direction is the ⁇ RX direction with the X axis as the central axis.
- the clockwise direction is the + RY direction and the counterclockwise direction is the ⁇ RY direction with the Y axis as the central axis.
- the “light distribution pattern” indicates the shape of the light flux and the light intensity distribution resulting from the direction of the light emitted from the light source.
- the “light distribution pattern” is also used as a meaning of an illuminance pattern on a virtual surface (irradiation surface) set in front of the vehicle.
- the irradiation surface is a surface parallel to the XY plane.
- the position of the irradiation surface is a position at which the light intensity or illuminance of the headlamp device is measured, and is defined by road traffic rules and the like.
- Luminosity indicates the intensity of light emitted from a light emitter, and is obtained by dividing a light beam passing through a minute solid angle in a certain direction by the minute solid angle.
- Illuminance is a physical quantity representing the brightness of light irradiated on a planar object. It is equal to the light beam irradiated per unit area.
- the light distribution pattern emitted from the vehicle headlight device is determined by road traffic rules and the like.
- a predetermined light distribution pattern related to an automobile low beam has a horizontally long shape with a narrow vertical direction.
- predetermined is defined by road traffic rules and the like.
- the upper boundary of the light distribution pattern (cut-off line) is clear. That is, a clear cut-off line is required in which the upper side of the cut-off line (outside the light distribution pattern) is dark and the lower side of the cut-off line (inside the light distribution pattern) is bright.
- the “cut-off line” is a dividing line between a bright part and a dark part of light that is generated when the light of a vehicle headlamp device is irradiated on a wall or a screen, and the upper side of the light distribution pattern. It is a separator line. That is, it is the boundary line between the bright part and the dark part of the light above the light distribution pattern.
- Cut-off line is a term used to adjust the irradiation direction of a passing headlamp.
- the headlight for passing is also called a low beam.
- “Clear cut-off line” means that the cut-off line should not have large chromatic aberration or blurring.
- the light distribution pattern must have a “rise line” that raises the irradiation on the sidewalk for pedestrian identification and sign identification. Moreover, it is requested
- the “rise line for raising the irradiation” indicates the shape of the light distribution pattern in which the oncoming vehicle side of the low beam is horizontal and the sidewalk side rises obliquely. This is because the oncoming vehicle is not dazzled and a person on the sidewalk or a sign is visually recognized.
- the “low beam” is a downward beam and is used when passing the oncoming vehicle. Usually, in the low beam, for example, about 40 m ahead is illuminated.
- the “vertical direction” is a direction perpendicular to the ground. A vehicle headlamp device needs to realize these complicated light distribution patterns.
- the light distribution pattern is explained here as a horizontally long shape with a narrow vertical direction, and the upper side of the light distribution pattern is a linear shape parallel to the line HH.
- the line HH represents a horizontal line at the position of the vehicle body.
- FIGS. 15, 16, 18, and 19 are explanatory diagrams showing a light distribution pattern 501 of the headlight device with respect to the road 500.
- the light distribution pattern 501 is an irradiation area where the headlamp device 100 irradiates light.
- a line VV represents a vertical line at the position of the vehicle body.
- Line HH represents a horizontal line at the position of the vehicle body.
- the road surface of the road 500 is a horizontal plane and is not inclined. “Vertical” is the direction of gravity.
- the “horizontal plane” is a plane parallel to the road surface. That is, the ZX plane is a plane parallel to the road surface. This is because the road surface is a “horizontal plane” in normal thinking. For this reason, the ZX plane is considered as a “horizontal plane”.
- a “horizontal plane” is a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
- the road surface may be inclined with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle. That is, uphill or downhill.
- the “horizontal plane” is considered as a plane parallel to the road surface.
- the “horizontal plane” is inclined toward the traveling direction of the vehicle. That is, it is not a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
- the “left-right direction” is the width direction of the runway.
- the “horizontal plane” is considered as a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
- the “horizontal plane” is described as a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
- the ZX plane is described as a plane perpendicular to the direction of gravity.
- the road 500 indicates the end 504 of the road with two lines.
- a center line 502 is on the right side of the line VV. Since the vehicle is traveling in the left lane, the center line 502 is located on the right side of the line VV.
- the vehicle is traveling on the left side.
- FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the light distribution pattern 501 in a situation where the vehicle is traveling on the left lane side of the straight road without tilting the vehicle body.
- FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a light distribution pattern 501 in a situation where the vehicle is traveling on the left lane side of a road curved to the left side while the vehicle body is inclined to the left side by an angle d degrees.
- the light distribution pattern 501 has a horizontally long shape with a narrow vertical direction.
- the upper side of the light distribution pattern 501 has a linear shape parallel to the line HH.
- the light distribution pattern 501 shown in FIG. 15 is long in the horizontal direction and illuminates a desired area.
- the “desired area” is an area necessary for the driver to drive. That is, the headlamp device illuminates an area necessary for the driver to drive.
- the light distribution pattern 501 shown in FIG. 16 illuminates the front with the right side raised and the left side lowered.
- the state shown in FIG. 16 is, for example, a case where the vehicle travels while turning left. At this time, the driver's line of sight is directed to the left front corner area 503 in the traveling direction.
- the corner region 503 is indicated by a broken line. In FIG. 16, the corner region 503 is located on the left side of the line VV. The upper side of the corner region 503 is shown to contact the line HH.
- the corner area 503 that the driver wants to see is not illuminated.
