　本発明は、車両の給油口や給電口などの位置を利用者に知らせるために用いられる車両用照明装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a vehicular illumination device used for notifying a user of a position of a fuel filler port, a power feeding port, or the like of a vehicle.
　従来、例えば自動車や自動二輪車などの車両は、燃料を受給するための受給部が備えられており、この受給部は蓋部で覆われ、燃料が供給される際に蓋部が開いて受給部が外部に露出する構造である。夜間や暗所において燃料が供給される場合、受給部の位置を確認するための照明を要するところ、特に、電気自動車やハイブリッド車など、住宅で充電される場合は、周囲に照明がない場合もある。そのため、受給部に照明設備が備えられた車両が、下記特許文献１または特許文献２において提案されている。 Conventionally, vehicles such as automobiles and motorcycles have been provided with a receiving portion for receiving fuel, and this receiving portion is covered with a lid portion, and the lid portion is opened when fuel is supplied. Is a structure exposed to the outside. When fuel is supplied at night or in a dark place, lighting is required to confirm the position of the receiving part.Especially when charging in a house such as an electric car or a hybrid car, there may be no surrounding light. is there. For this reason, a vehicle in which lighting equipment is provided in the receiving unit is proposed in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2 below.
　特許文献１に記載された車両は、充電口の近傍に照明が備えられ、かつ、充電口の開閉蓋の中央に光透過部材が嵌め込まれているため、照明の光が光透過部材を透過することで車体の外部が照らされる構造である。照明は、充電コネクタが充電口に近接することにより、無線通信で自動的に点灯する。 Since the vehicle described in Patent Document 1 is provided with illumination in the vicinity of the charging port, and the light transmitting member is fitted in the center of the opening / closing lid of the charging port, the light of the illumination passes through the light transmitting member. In this way, the exterior of the vehicle body is illuminated. The illumination is automatically turned on by wireless communication when the charging connector comes close to the charging port.
　一方、特許文献２に記載された車両も、充電口の近傍に照明が備えられており、例えばキーレスエントリーシステムのリモートコントローラーが充電口に近接することにより、無線通信で照明が自動的に点灯する。 On the other hand, the vehicle described in Patent Document 2 is also provided with illumination in the vicinity of the charging port. For example, when the remote controller of the keyless entry system comes close to the charging port, the illumination is automatically turned on by wireless communication. .

　本発明に係る車両用照明装置は上記した構成である。すなわち、第一発光部が境界部近傍に形成されているため、第一発光部を境界部に外観的に馴染ませることができ、蓋部の外面や車体の外面において第一発光部が境界部から離れて形成されている場合と比較して、優れたデザイン性を実現することができる。また、充電される際の最初の動作である蓋部の開錠において第一発光部が発光するため、給電部の位置を利用者に対して適切に報知することができる。 The vehicle lighting device according to the present invention has the above-described configuration. That is, since the first light emitting portion is formed in the vicinity of the boundary portion, the first light emitting portion can be adapted to the boundary portion in appearance, and the first light emitting portion is located on the outer surface of the lid portion or the vehicle body. Compared with the case where it is formed away from the case, it is possible to realize an excellent design. In addition, since the first light emitting unit emits light during the unlocking of the lid, which is the first operation when charging, the position of the power feeding unit can be appropriately notified to the user.
　本発明に係る車両用照明装置は、蓋部の内側で発光する第二発光部が備えられ、蓋部の開放動作によって、第一発光部が消灯すると共に第二発光部が点灯する。すなわち、充電における一連の動作において、給電部の位置を利用者に報知した後に第一発光部が消灯し、給電部の位置を確認した利用者が、次の動作として、給電部の内側を確認するために第二発光部が発光する。したがって、利用者の動作において、照明が必要な部分のみを適切なタイミングで発光させることができる。そのため、不要に発光することがなく、電力の消費が抑えられる。 The vehicular lighting device according to the present invention includes a second light emitting unit that emits light inside the lid, and the first light emitting unit is turned off and the second light emitting unit is turned on by opening the lid. That is, in a series of operations in charging, after the user is informed of the position of the power supply unit, the first light emitting unit is turned off, and the user who has confirmed the position of the power supply unit checks the inside of the power supply unit as the next operation. In order to do so, the second light emitting unit emits light. Therefore, in the user's operation, only the part that needs to be illuminated can be made to emit light at an appropriate timing. Therefore, unnecessary light emission is not caused, and power consumption is suppressed.
　本発明に係る車両用照明装置は、第一発光部が、蓋部の縁に形成された切欠部を介して備えられている。すなわち、車体から独立した蓋部が第一発光部に合わせて加工されるため、車体を第一発光部に合わせて加工する必要がなく、車体の設計が容易である。 In the vehicular illumination device according to the present invention, the first light emitting part is provided via a notch formed at the edge of the lid part. That is, since the lid portion independent of the vehicle body is processed according to the first light emitting portion, it is not necessary to process the vehicle body according to the first light emitting portion, and the vehicle body can be easily designed.
　本発明に係る車両用照明装置は、第一発光部に、光透過性の加飾が施されている。この構成により、発光時において光が透過し、消灯時において、例えば、メッキ調、木目調、車体と同じ色調などの外観を表すことで、優れたデザイン性を実現することができる。 In the vehicular lighting device according to the present invention, the first light emitting portion is provided with a light-transmitting decoration. With this configuration, light can be transmitted during light emission, and when light is extinguished, for example, an appearance such as a plating tone, wood grain tone, and the same color tone as the vehicle body can be expressed, thereby realizing excellent design.
　本発明に係る車両用照明装置は、充電することで第二発光部の色が変化する。したがって、充電における一連の動作において、動作の状態を区別して利用者に報知することができる。例えば、供給スピードの種類、供給の完了など、充電の進捗毎に異なる色彩を用いて、動作の状態を視覚的に利用者に報知することができる。 The vehicle lighting device according to the present invention changes the color of the second light emitting unit by being charged. Therefore, in a series of operations in charging, it is possible to notify the user by distinguishing the operation state. For example, the state of operation can be visually notified to the user by using different colors for each progress of charging, such as the type of supply speed and the completion of supply.
　本発明に係る車両用照明装置は、第一発光部が蓋部に備えられている。すなわち、第一発光部が蓋部における境界部近傍に形成されているため、第一発光部を境界部に外観的に馴染ませることができ、蓋部の外面や車体の外面において第一発光部が境界部から離れて形成されている場合と比較して、優れたデザイン性を実現することができる。 In the vehicular illumination device according to the present invention, the first light emitting portion is provided in the lid portion. That is, since the first light emitting part is formed in the vicinity of the boundary part in the lid part, the first light emitting part can be externally adapted to the boundary part, and the first light emitting part is formed on the outer surface of the lid part or the outer surface of the vehicle body. Compared with the case where is formed away from the boundary portion, it is possible to realize an excellent design.
　本発明に係る車両用照明装置は、第一発光部が蓋部の側面に備えられている。この構成によれば、蓋部が閉じた状態では、蓋部の外面が車体の外面と同一面上に揃えられるため、蓋部の側面は境界部近傍において車体の外面に露出しない。すなわち、蓋部が閉じた状態において第一発光部が遮蔽されるため、優れたデザイン性を実現することができる。なお、この状態で第一発光部が点灯すると、拡散した光は境界部から漏れるため、蓋部の位置が利用者に報知される。 In the vehicle lighting device according to the present invention, the first light emitting part is provided on the side surface of the lid part. According to this configuration, when the lid portion is closed, the outer surface of the lid portion is aligned with the same surface as the outer surface of the vehicle body, so that the side surface of the lid portion is not exposed to the outer surface of the vehicle body in the vicinity of the boundary portion. That is, since the first light emitting part is shielded in a state where the lid part is closed, excellent design can be realized. When the first light emitting unit is turned on in this state, the diffused light leaks from the boundary portion, so that the position of the lid portion is notified to the user.
　本発明に係る車両用照明装置は、光源からの光路を、第一発光部または第二発光部に切り替える発光部切替手段が備えられている。すなわち、光路が切り替わることで、単一の光源でいずれかの発光部を発光させることができる。 The vehicle lighting device according to the present invention is provided with light-emitting unit switching means for switching the optical path from the light source to the first light-emitting unit or the second light-emitting unit. That is, by switching the optical path, one of the light emitting units can be made to emit light with a single light source.
　本発明に係る車両用照明装置は、蓋部の開閉を検知する検知手段と連動して第一発光部または第二発光部の色が選択される。すなわち、蓋部の開閉に伴って、所望の色のみを発光させ、不要な色を消灯させることができる。 In the vehicular illumination device according to the present invention, the color of the first light emitting unit or the second light emitting unit is selected in conjunction with the detection means for detecting opening and closing of the lid. That is, as the lid is opened and closed, only a desired color can be emitted and unnecessary colors can be turned off.

On the upper side and the lower side around the openings 41a and b, second arrangement portions 43a and 43b on which the second light emitting portions 22a and 22b are arranged are formed. The second arrangement portions 43a and 43b are a plurality of holes arranged in parallel in the left and right directions above and below the openings 41a and 41b. The second lenses 33a and 33b of the second light emitting portions 22a and 22b are arranged inside the holes.
　ハウジング４０は、上端縁および下端縁における左方寄りに、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが配置される第一配置部４２ａ，ｂが形成されている。第一配置部４２ａ，ｂは、リッド１４の切欠部１８ａ，ｂに対応する位置に形成されている。具体的には、切欠部１８ａ，ｂと同様に、第一配置部４２ａ，ｂは、リッド１４のヒンジ１６の位置よりも係止部１７およびアクチュエーター５の近傍に配置されている。第一配置部４２ａ，ｂに第一発光部２１ａ，ｂの導光体３１ａ，ｂおよび第一レンズ３２ａ，ｂが配置される。 The housing 40 has first arrangement portions 42a, 42b in which the first light emitting portions 21a, 21b are arranged on the left side of the upper end edge and the lower end edge. The first arrangement portions 42 a and b are formed at positions corresponding to the notches 18 a and b of the lid 14. Specifically, like the notches 18a and 18b, the first placement parts 42a and 42b are arranged near the locking part 17 and the actuator 5 rather than the position of the hinge 16 of the lid 14. The light guide bodies 31a, b and the first lenses 32a, b of the first light emitting portions 21a, b are arranged in the first arrangement portions 42a, 42b.
　以上のとおり、車両用照明装置１が構成されている。次に、充電される際の一連の動作における車両用照明装置１の明滅の状態について、リッド１４の施開錠の制御と共に説明する。充電は、施錠状態、開錠動作、開錠状態、開放動作、開放状態、給電状態、満充電状態および閉塞動作によって実現される。ここで、リッド１４の開錠は、キーレスエントリーシステムのリモートコントローラー（図示省略）による遠隔操作によって実行される。なお、車内のレバーが操作されることでリッド１４が開錠する構成であってもよい。 As described above, the vehicular lighting device 1 is configured. Next, the blinking state of the vehicular lighting device 1 in a series of operations at the time of charging will be described together with the control of locking and unlocking of the lid 14. Charging is realized by a locked state, an unlocking operation, an unlocking state, an opening operation, an opening state, a power feeding state, a fully charged state, and a closing operation. Here, the unlocking of the lid 14 is executed by a remote operation by a remote controller (not shown) of the keyless entry system. The lid 14 may be unlocked by operating a lever in the vehicle.
　施錠状態では、充電を要しないため、リッド１４が閉じて各給電口１１，１２が閉塞し、アクチュエーター５によってリッド１４が施錠されている。施錠状態では、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂおよび第二発光部２２ａ，ｂは消灯している。この施錠状態において、開錠動作が実行されると開錠状態となる。 In the locked state, since charging is not required, the lid 14 is closed, the power supply ports 11 and 12 are closed, and the lid 14 is locked by the actuator 5. In the locked state, the first light emitting units 21a, 21b and the second light emitting units 22a, 22b are turned off. When the unlocking operation is executed in this locked state, the unlocked state is entered.
　開錠動作は、リモートコントローラーが操作されることで実現する。リモートコントローラーからの無線信号が受信されると、アクチュエーター５によってリッド１４が開錠されて開錠状態となる。 Unlocking operation is realized by operating the remote controller. When the wireless signal from the remote controller is received, the lid 14 is unlocked by the actuator 5 and the unlocked state is established.
　開錠状態では、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが点灯して光が第一レンズ３２ａ，ｂを透過することで給電部１０の位置が利用者に報知される。第一発光部２１ａ，ｂの色は任意であり、例えば白色である。この開錠状態において、開放動作が実行されると開放状態となる。 In the unlocked state, the first light emitting units 21a, 21b are turned on, and the light is transmitted through the first lenses 32a, 32b to notify the user of the position of the power feeding unit 10. The color of the first light emitting units 21a and 21b is arbitrary, for example, white. In this unlocked state, when the opening operation is executed, the unlocked state is established.
　開放動作は、利用者によってリッド１４が押されることで実現する。具体的には、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂの近傍であるリッド１４の外面の左方寄りが利用者によって押されると、リッド１４が内側に押し込まれると共に外側に開いて各給電口１１，１２が露出し、開放状態となる。開放動作において、リッド１４が押し込まれると第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが消灯することで省力化され、リッド１４が開くと第二発光部２２ａ，ｂが点灯して各給電口１１，１２が照らされることで、各給電口１１，１２の位置が利用者に報知される。第二発光部２２ａ，ｂの色は任意であり、例えば白色である。 The opening operation is realized when the lid 14 is pushed by the user. Specifically, when the left side of the outer surface of the lid 14 in the vicinity of the first light emitting portions 21a and 21b is pushed by the user, the lid 14 is pushed inward and opened outward to open the power feeding ports 11 and 12. Will be exposed and open. In the opening operation, when the lid 14 is pushed in, the first light emitting portions 21a, 21b are turned off to save labor, and when the lid 14 is opened, the second light emitting portions 22a, 22b are turned on to illuminate the power supply ports 11, 12. As a result, the positions of the power feeding ports 11 and 12 are notified to the user. The color of the second light emitting units 22a and 22b is arbitrary, for example, white.
　開放状態では、給電を待機しているため、第二発光部２２ａ，ｂが点灯し続けている。この開放状態において、各給電口１１，１２に充電コネクタが接続されて充電が開始されると給電状態となる。 In the open state, the second light emitting units 22a and 22b are kept on because they are waiting for power feeding. In this open state, when charging connectors are connected to the power supply ports 11 and 12 and charging is started, the power supply state is established.
　給電状態では、第二発光部２２ａ，ｂの色が変化して点滅することで、充電中であることが利用者に報知される。ここで、各給電口１１，１２は、普通用給電口１１と急速用給電口１２とがあるため、普通用給電口１１に充電コネクタが接続された際の色と、急速用給電口１２に充電コネクタが接続された際の色とは異なる。第二発光部２２ａ，ｂの色は任意であり、例えば、普通用給電口１１に充電コネクタが接続された場合、白色から黄色に変化して黄色に点滅し、急速用給電口１２に充電コネクタが接続された場合、白色から赤色に変化して赤色に点滅する。この充電状態において充電が完了すると、満充電状態となる。 In the power supply state, the color of the second light emitting units 22a and 22b changes and blinks to notify the user that charging is in progress. Here, since each of the power supply ports 11 and 12 includes the normal power supply port 11 and the quick power supply port 12, the color when the charging connector is connected to the normal power supply port 11, and the quick power supply port 12. It is different from the color when the charging connector is connected. The colors of the second light emitting portions 22a and 22b are arbitrary. For example, when a charging connector is connected to the ordinary power supply port 11, the color changes from white to yellow and blinks yellow, and the charging connector is connected to the rapid power supply port 12. When is connected, it changes from white to red and blinks red. When charging is completed in this charged state, the battery is fully charged.
　満充電状態では、第二発光部２２ａ，ｂの色が変化して点滅することで、充電が完了したことが利用者に報知される。第二発光部２２ａ，ｂの色は任意であり、例えば、給電状態における色から緑色に変化して緑色に点滅する。この満充電状態において、閉塞動作が実行されると施錠状態に戻る。 In the fully charged state, the color of the second light emitting units 22a and 22b changes and blinks to notify the user that charging has been completed. The colors of the second light emitting units 22a and 22b are arbitrary, for example, change from the color in the power supply state to green and blink green. In this fully charged state, when the closing operation is executed, the locked state is restored.
　閉塞動作は、利用者によってリッド１４が閉じられると共に内側に押し込まれることで実現する。リッド１４が押し込まれて第二発光部２２ａ，ｂが消灯することで、充電される際の一連の動作が完了したことが利用者に報知される。 The closing operation is realized by the lid 14 being closed and pushed inward by the user. When the lid 14 is pushed in and the second light emitting units 22a and 22b are turned off, the user is notified that a series of operations when charging is completed.
　なお、各発光部２１ａ，ｂ，２２ａ，ｂの点灯または点滅の選択は任意である。 In addition, selection of lighting or blinking of each light emission part 21a, b, 22a, b is arbitrary.
　以上のとおり、車両用照明装置１が作動する。次に、車両用照明装置１の効果を説明する。 As described above, the vehicle lighting device 1 operates. Next, the effect of the vehicle lighting device 1 will be described.
　上記したとおり、車両用照明装置１によれば、リッド１４は、上端縁および下端縁における左方寄りに、切欠部１８ａ，ｂが形成されている。この切欠部１８ａ，ｂを介して、ボディ２とリッド１４との境界部４近傍において、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが取り付けられている。すなわち、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが境界部４近傍に形成されているため、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂを境界部４に外観的に馴染ませることができ、優れたデザイン性を実現することができる。また、充電される際の最初の動作であるリッド１４の開錠動作において第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが点灯するため、給電部１０の位置を利用者に対して適切に報知することができる。 As described above, according to the vehicular illumination device 1, the lid 14 has the notches 18a and 18b formed on the left side of the upper and lower edges. The first light emitting portions 21a, 21b are attached in the vicinity of the boundary portion 4 between the body 2 and the lid 14 via the notches 18a, b. That is, since the first light emitting portions 21a and 21b are formed in the vicinity of the boundary portion 4, the first light emitting portions 21a and 21b can be externally adapted to the boundary portion 4, and excellent design can be realized. Can do. In addition, since the first light emitting units 21a and 21b are turned on in the unlocking operation of the lid 14, which is the first operation when charging, the position of the power feeding unit 10 can be appropriately notified to the user.
　また、リッド１４に切欠部１８ａ，ｂが形成されていることから、ボディ２から独立したリッド１４が第一発光部２１ａ，ｂに合わせて加工されるため、ボディ２を第一発光部２１ａ，ｂに合わせて加工する必要がなく、ボディ２の設計が容易である。 Further, since the notches 18a and 18b are formed in the lid 14, the lid 14 independent from the body 2 is processed according to the first light emitting portions 21a and 21b. It is not necessary to process according to b, and the design of the body 2 is easy.
　また、リッド１４の切欠部１８ａ，ｂが、ヒンジ１６の位置よりも係止部１７およびアクチュエーター５の近傍に配置され、この切欠部１８ａ，ｂに対応する位置に第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが配置されている。すなわち、開放動作において利用者が押す位置の近傍で、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが点灯するため、押す位置を利用者に報知することで利用者を押す位置に誘導することができ、開放動作を利用者に促すことができる。 Further, the notches 18a and b of the lid 14 are disposed nearer to the locking portion 17 and the actuator 5 than the position of the hinge 16, and the first light emitting portions 21a and 21b are located at positions corresponding to the notches 18a and b. Has been placed. That is, since the first light emitting units 21a and 21b are lit in the vicinity of the position where the user presses in the opening operation, the user can be guided to the pressing position by notifying the user of the pressing position, and the opening operation Can be prompted to the user.
　車両用照明装置１は、給電部１０の内側において各給電口１１，１２の周囲に配置されると共にリッド１４の内側で点灯または点滅する第二発光部２２ａ，ｂが備えられ、リッド１４の開放動作において、リッド１４が押し込まれると第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが消灯し、リッド１４が開くと第二発光部２２ａ，ｂが点灯して各給電口１１，１２が照らされる。すなわち、充電される際の一連の動作において、給電部１０の位置を利用者に報知した後に第一発光部２１ａ，ｂが消灯し、給電部１０の位置を確認した利用者が、次の動作として、各給電口１１，１２の位置を確認するために第二発光部２２ａ，ｂが点灯する。したがって、利用者の動作において、照明が必要な部分のみを適切なタイミングで点灯させることができる。そのため、不要に点灯することがなく、電力の消費が抑えられる。 The vehicular illumination device 1 includes second light emitting units 22a and 22b that are arranged around the power supply ports 11 and 12 inside the power supply unit 10 and that are lit or blinking inside the lid 14, and the lid 14 is opened. In operation, when the lid 14 is pushed in, the first light emitting portions 21a, 21b are turned off, and when the lid 14 is opened, the second light emitting portions 22a, 22b are turned on to illuminate the power feeding ports 11, 12. That is, in a series of operations at the time of charging, after the user is notified of the position of the power supply unit 10, the first light emitting units 21 a and 21 b are turned off, and the user who has confirmed the position of the power supply unit 10 performs the next operation. As a result, the second light emitting units 22a and 22b are lit to confirm the positions of the power feeding ports 11 and 12. Therefore, in the user's operation, only the part that needs illumination can be turned on at an appropriate timing. Therefore, it does not turn on unnecessarily and power consumption is suppressed.
　車両用照明装置１は、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂの第一レンズ３２ａ，ｂに光透過性の加飾が施されている。この加飾により、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂの消灯時において、例えば、メッキ調、木目調、車体と同じ色調などの外観が現れ、優れたデザイン性を実現することができる。一方、第一発光部２１ａ，ｂの発光時において、光が第一レンズ３２ａ，ｂが透過するため、給電部１０の位置を利用者に対して適切に報知することができる。 In the vehicular illumination device 1, the first lenses 32a and 32b of the first light emitting portions 21a and 21b are provided with a light-transmitting decoration. By this decoration, when the first light emitting portions 21a and 21b are turned off, for example, an appearance such as a plating tone, a wood tone, and the same color tone as the vehicle body appears, and an excellent design can be realized. On the other hand, since the first lenses 32a and 32b transmit light when the first light emitting units 21a and 21b emit light, the position of the power feeding unit 10 can be appropriately notified to the user.
　車両用照明装置１は、給電状態において第二発光部２２ａ，ｂの色が変化して点滅する。したがって、充電における一連の動作において、給電状態や満充電状態を区別して利用者に報知することができる。例えば、給電状態では、普通用給電口１１に充電コネクタが接続された場合、白色から黄色に変化して黄色に点滅し、急速用給電口１２に充電コネクタが接続された場合、白色から赤色に変化して赤色に点滅する。また、満充電状態では、給電状態における色から緑色に変化して緑色に点滅する。すなわち、充電の種類や進捗毎に異なる色彩を用いて、動作の状態を視覚的に利用者に報知することができる。 The vehicular illumination device 1 blinks when the color of the second light emitting units 22a and 22b changes in a power supply state. Therefore, in a series of operations in charging, the user can be notified of the power feeding state and the fully charged state. For example, in the power supply state, when the charging connector is connected to the normal power supply port 11, the color changes from white to yellow and blinks yellow, and when the charging connector is connected to the rapid power supply port 12, the color changes from white to red. It changes and flashes red. In the fully charged state, the color in the power supply state changes from green to blinking in green. That is, the state of operation can be visually notified to the user using different colors for each type of charging and progress.
　上記した第一実施形態の他の実施形態として、切欠部は、第一発光部を境界部に外観的に馴染ませることができるのであれば、境界部においてボディに形成されていてもよい。ただし、ボディから独立したリッドに切欠部が形成されることでボディの設計が容易となるため、切欠部はリッドに形成されている方が好ましい。 As another embodiment of the first embodiment described above, the cutout portion may be formed in the body at the boundary portion as long as the first light emitting portion can be adapted to the boundary portion in appearance. However, it is preferable that the notch is formed in the lid because the notch is formed in the lid independent of the body to facilitate the design of the body.
　また、他の実施形態として、第一発光部を境界部に外観的に馴染ませることができるのであれば、第一発光部は、境界部の近傍、または、リッドに備えられていてもよい。ただし、第一発光部がリッドに備えられた場合、リッドにおいてＬＥＤ基板の実装や配線などを要する。そのため、第一発光部は、イルミネーションユニットにおいて第二発光部と一体としてボディに備えられている方が好ましい。 As another embodiment, the first light emitting unit may be provided in the vicinity of the boundary part or in the lid as long as the first light emitting part can be familiarized with the boundary part. However, when the first light emitting unit is provided on the lid, mounting of the LED substrate, wiring, and the like are required on the lid. Therefore, it is preferable that the first light emitting unit is provided in the body integrally with the second light emitting unit in the illumination unit.
　また、他の実施形態として、第二発光部は、各開口部を照らして利用者が視認し易い環境を実現することができるのであれば、各開口部の左右や、各開口部の周囲全周に配置されていてもよい。ただし、リッドを開閉させるヒンジや施開錠を制御するアクチュエーターの配置との関係において、第二発光部を開口部の上方側および下方側において左右に並列させた構成が好ましい。 As another embodiment, if the second light emitting unit can realize an environment in which the user can easily see by illuminating each opening, the left and right sides of each opening and the entire periphery of each opening can be realized. It may be arranged around the circumference. However, in relation to the arrangement of the hinge that opens and closes the lid and the arrangement of the actuator that controls the locking and unlocking, a configuration in which the second light emitting portion is arranged side by side on the upper side and the lower side of the opening portion is preferable.
　次に、本発明の第二実施形態に係る車両用照明装置を図面に基づいて説明する。図６は、第二実施形態に係る車両用照明装置１０１が搭載された給電部１１０において、リッド１１４が開いた状態が示されている。なお、以下の説明では、主に第一実施形態と異なる構成が説明され、同様の構成は、説明が適宜省略されている。 Next, a vehicle lighting device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

　この構成により、図９（ａ）に示されているとおり、導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７に外力が加えられていない状態では、第二発光部側導光部１５５が基導光部１５３の先端と対面する位置に配置され、ＬＥＤ１５１の光路として第二発光部側導光部１５５が選択されている。この状態では、開閉検知スイッチ１５８は作動していない。一方、導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７の下端側から外力が加えられると、図９（ｂ）に示されているとおり第一発光部側導光部１５４が基導光部１５３の先端と対面する位置に配置され、ＬＥＤ１５１の光路とし第一発光部側導光部１５４が選択される。この状態では、開閉検知スイッチ１５８はレバー１５８ａが押されて作動する。 With this configuration, as shown in FIG. 9A, the second light emitting unit side light guide unit 155 is connected to the tip of the base light guide unit 153 in a state where no external force is applied to the light guide direction switching switch 157. The second light emitting unit side light guide unit 155 is selected as the optical path of the LED 151 and is disposed at the facing position. In this state, the open / close detection switch 158 is not activated. On the other hand, when an external force is applied from the lower end side of the light guide direction changeover switch 157, the position where the first light emitting unit side light guide unit 154 faces the tip of the base light guide unit 153 as shown in FIG. The first light emitting unit side light guide unit 154 is selected as the optical path of the LED 151. In this state, the open / close detection switch 158 operates when the lever 158a is pressed.
　以上のとおり、車両用照明装置１０１が構成されている。次に、充電される際のリッド１１４の開閉におけるイルミネーションユニット１２０の動作を図面に基づいて説明する。図１０は、リッド１１４の開閉における光源ユニット１５０の動作がリッド１１４の内側から視して示され、（ａ）（ｃ）はリッド１１４が閉じた状態が示され、（ｂ）はリッド１１４が開いた状態が示されている。なお、充電される際の一連の動作における車両用照明装置１０１の明滅の状態は、第一実施形態と同様であるため、適宜説明を省略する。 As described above, the vehicular lighting device 101 is configured. Next, the operation of the illumination unit 120 when the lid 114 is opened and closed when being charged will be described with reference to the drawings. 10A and 10B show the operation of the light source unit 150 when the lid 114 is opened and closed as viewed from the inside of the lid 114. FIGS. 10A and 10C show a state in which the lid 114 is closed, and FIG. The open state is shown. Note that the blinking state of the vehicular illumination device 101 in a series of operations during charging is the same as that in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.
　図１０（ａ）（ｃ）に示されているとおり、施錠状態では、リッド１１４が閉じている。そのため、リッド１１４の周側面の第一導光体１６０が縁溝部１０６と対面して遮蔽される。また、リッド１１４の光通路部１１９によって光源ユニット１５０の導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７が押されている。詳説すれば、この状態では、導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７が、光通路部１１９の受光窓部１１９ｂと対面し、また、ＬＥＤ１５１の光路として第一発光部側導光部１５４が選択されている（図９（ｂ）参照）。そのため、光路は、ＬＥＤ１５１から、中間導光体１５２の基導光部１５３および第一発光部側導光部１５４を経て、受光窓部１１９ｂを介し、第一導光体１６０の突出導光部１６３および各湾曲導光部１６１，１６２に至る（図８参照）。一方、開閉検知スイッチ１５８が押されたことで、リッド１１４が閉じていることが検知される。 10 (a) and 10 (c), the lid 114 is closed in the locked state. Therefore, the first light guide 160 on the peripheral side surface of the lid 114 is shielded by facing the edge groove portion 106. Further, the light guide direction changeover switch 157 of the light source unit 150 is pushed by the light path portion 119 of the lid 114. Specifically, in this state, the light guide direction switch 157 faces the light receiving window 119b of the light path 119, and the first light emitting unit side light guide 154 is selected as the optical path of the LED 151 ( (See FIG. 9B). Therefore, the light path from the LED 151, the base light guide 153 of the intermediate light guide 152, the first light emitting part side light guide 154, and the light guide window part 119 b, the protruding light guide part of the first light guide 160. 163 and the curved light guides 161 and 162 (see FIG. 8). On the other hand, when the open / close detection switch 158 is pressed, it is detected that the lid 114 is closed.
　開錠動作によって開錠状態となると、第一発光部１２１が点灯することで給電部１１０の位置が利用者に報知される。その際、開閉検知スイッチ１５８と連動して第一発光部１２１の色が選択される。すなわち、リッド１１４が閉じていることが検知されているため、第一発光部１２１を発光させる色に応じてＬＥＤ１５１が選択され、予め設定されたＬＥＤ１５１のみが発光し、他のＬＥＤ１５１は消灯したままである。 When the unlocking state is achieved by the unlocking operation, the first light emitting unit 121 is turned on to notify the user of the position of the power feeding unit 110. At that time, the color of the first light emitting unit 121 is selected in conjunction with the open / close detection switch 158. That is, since it is detected that the lid 114 is closed, the LED 151 is selected according to the color that causes the first light emitting unit 121 to emit light, only the preset LED 151 emits light, and the other LEDs 151 remain off. It is.
　開放動作を経て、開放状態では、利用者によってリッド１１４が押されてリッド１１４が開くと、図１０（ｂ）に示されているとおり、光源ユニット１５０の導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７がリッド１１４の光通路部１１９から解放されている。詳説すれば、この状態では、導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７において、ＬＥＤ１５１の光路として第二発光部側導光部１５５が選択されている（図９（ａ）参照）。そのため、光路は、ＬＥＤ１５１から、中間導光体１５２の基導光部１５３および第二発光部側導光部１５５を経て、第二導光体１６４に至る。一方、開閉検知スイッチ１５８が解放されたことで、リッド１１４が開いていることが検知される。 After the opening operation, in the opened state, when the lid 114 is pushed by the user and the lid 114 is opened, the light guide direction changeover switch 157 of the light source unit 150 is moved to the lid 114 as shown in FIG. The light path portion 119 is released. Specifically, in this state, in the light guide direction changeover switch 157, the second light emitting unit side light guide unit 155 is selected as the optical path of the LED 151 (see FIG. 9A). Therefore, the optical path reaches from the LED 151 to the second light guide 164 through the base light guide 153 and the second light emitting unit side light guide 155 of the intermediate light guide 152. On the other hand, when the open / close detection switch 158 is released, it is detected that the lid 114 is open.
　開放状態では、第一発光部１２１が消灯すると共に、第二発光部１２２が点灯して給電口が照らされることで、給電口の位置が利用者に報知される。その際、開閉検知スイッチ１５８と連動し、第二発光部１２２の色が選択される。すなわち、リッド１１４が開いていることが検知されているため、第二発光部１２２を発光させる色に応じてＬＥＤ１５１が選択され、予め設定されたＬＥＤ１５１のみが発光し、他のＬＥＤ１５１は消灯したままである。 In the open state, the first light emitting unit 121 is turned off and the second light emitting unit 122 is turned on to illuminate the power supply port, thereby notifying the user of the position of the power supply port. At this time, the color of the second light emitting unit 122 is selected in conjunction with the open / close detection switch 158. That is, since it is detected that the lid 114 is open, the LED 151 is selected according to the color that causes the second light emitting unit 122 to emit light, only the preset LED 151 emits light, and the other LEDs 151 remain off. It is.
　以上のとおり、車両用照明装置１０１が作動する。次に、車両用照明装置１０１の効果を説明する。 As described above, the vehicle lighting device 101 operates. Next, the effect of the vehicular lighting device 101 will be described.
　上記したとおり、車両用照明装置１０１によれば、図６および図７に示されているとおり、リッド１１４は光通路部１１９が内側に向けて突出し、光通路部１１９の上面に受光窓部１１９ｂが形成されている。また、第一発光部１２１の第一導光体１６０は、リッド１１４の周側面に沿って弧状に湾曲した各湾曲導光部１６１，１６２と、この各湾曲導光部１６１，１６２の右方端同士が連接されると共に内側に向けて突出した突出導光部１６３とから構成されている。各湾曲導光部１６１，１６２は、リッド１１４の周側面に配置され、周側面において露出するが外側から視認されないようになっている。突出導光部１６３は、リッド１１４の光通路部１１９の内側に配置されて受光窓部１１９ｂから露出している。 As described above, according to the vehicular illumination device 101, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lid 114 has the light path portion 119 protruding inward, and the light receiving window portion 119 b is formed on the upper surface of the light path portion 119. Is formed. The first light guide 160 of the first light emitting unit 121 includes curved curved light guides 161 and 162 that are curved in an arc along the peripheral side surface of the lid 114, and the right side of the curved light guides 161 and 162. It is comprised from the protrusion light guide part 163 which protruded inward while the ends were connected. Each of the curved light guides 161 and 162 is disposed on the peripheral side surface of the lid 114 and is exposed on the peripheral side surface, but is not visible from the outside. The protruding light guide part 163 is disposed inside the light path part 119 of the lid 114 and exposed from the light receiving window part 119b.
　すなわち、第一発光部１２１がリッド１１４の周側面に取り付けられているため、第一発光部１２１を境界部１０４に外観的に馴染ませることができ、リッド１１４の外面やボディ２の外面において第一発光部１２１が境界部１０４から離れて形成されている場合と比較して、優れたデザイン性を実現することができる。特に、リッド１１４が閉じた施錠状態では、リッド１１４の周側面の第一導光体１６０が縁溝部１０６と対面して遮蔽され、かつ、リッド１１４の外面がボディ２の外面と同一面上に揃えられるため、第一発光部１２１は境界部１０４近傍においてボディ２の外面に露出しない。したがって、優れたデザイン性を実現することができる。この状態で第一発光部１２１が点灯すると、拡散した光は境界部１０４から外側に漏れるため、リッド１１４の位置を利用者に報知することができる。 That is, since the first light emitting unit 121 is attached to the peripheral side surface of the lid 114, the first light emitting unit 121 can be adapted to the boundary portion 104 in appearance, and the first light emitting unit 121 is formed on the outer surface of the lid 114 or the outer surface of the body 2. Compared with the case where the single light-emitting portion 121 is formed away from the boundary portion 104, an excellent design can be realized. In particular, in the locked state in which the lid 114 is closed, the first light guide 160 on the peripheral side surface of the lid 114 is shielded by facing the edge groove portion 106, and the outer surface of the lid 114 is flush with the outer surface of the body 2. Since they are aligned, the first light emitting unit 121 is not exposed on the outer surface of the body 2 in the vicinity of the boundary 104. Therefore, excellent design can be realized. If the 1st light emission part 121 lights in this state, since the diffused light leaks outside from the boundary part 104, the position of the lid 114 can be alert | reported to a user.
　車両用照明装置１０１によれば、光源ユニット１５０は、各ＬＥＤ１５１と各導光体１６０，１６４との間に配置された中間導光体１５２と、各ＬＥＤ１５１からの光路を、第一発光部１２１または第二発光部１２２に切り替える導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７とが備えられている。中間導光体１５２は、各ＬＥＤ１５１に取り付けられた基導光部１５３と、この基導光部１５３の先端に配置されると共に導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７に内蔵された第一発光部側導光部１５４および第二発光部側導光部１５５とから構成されている。 According to the vehicular illumination device 101, the light source unit 150 includes the intermediate light guide 152 disposed between each LED 151 and each light guide 160 and 164, and the optical path from each LED 151 with the first light emitting unit 121. Alternatively, a light guide direction switch 157 that switches to the second light emitting unit 122 is provided. The intermediate light guide 152 is provided with a base light guide 153 attached to each LED 151 and a first light-emitting-unit-side light guide disposed at the tip of the base light guide 153 and incorporated in the light guide direction changeover switch 157. Part 154 and the second light emitting part side light guide part 155.
　この構成により、導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７に外力が加えられていない開放状態では（図９（ａ）参照）、ＬＥＤ１５１の光路として第二発光部側導光部１５５が選択され、光路は、ＬＥＤ１５１から、中間導光体１５２の基導光部１５３および第二発光部側導光部１５５を経て、第二導光体１６４に至る。一方、光通路部１１９によって導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７の下端側に外力が加えられた施錠状態では（図９（ｂ）参照）、ＬＥＤ１５１の光路とし第一発光部側導光部１５４が選択され、光路は、ＬＥＤ１５１から、中間導光体１５２の基導光部１５３および第一発光部側導光部１５４を経て、受光窓部１１９ｂを介し、第一導光体１６０の突出導光部１６３および各湾曲導光部１６１，１６２に至る。このように、ＬＥＤ１５１の光路が切り替わることで、単一の光源で各発光部１２１，１２２のいずれかを発光させることができる。 With this configuration, in the open state where no external force is applied to the light guide direction changeover switch 157 (see FIG. 9A), the second light emitting unit side light guide unit 155 is selected as the optical path of the LED 151, and the optical path is the LED 151. To the second light guide 164 through the base light guide 153 and the second light emitting part side light guide 155 of the intermediate light guide 152. On the other hand, in the locked state where an external force is applied to the lower end side of the light guide direction changeover switch 157 by the light path portion 119 (see FIG. 9B), the first light emitting portion side light guide portion 154 is selected as the optical path of the LED 151. The optical path from the LED 151 through the base light guide part 153 and the first light emitting part side light guide part 154 of the intermediate light guide 152, through the light receiving window part 119b, and the protruding light guide part 163 of the first light guide 160 And the curved light guides 161 and 162. As described above, by switching the optical path of the LED 151, any one of the light emitting units 121 and 122 can emit light with a single light source.
　車両用照明装置１０１によれば、光源ユニット１５０は、リッド１１４の開閉を検知する開閉検知スイッチ１５８が備えられ、レバー１５８ａが導光方向切り替えスイッチ１５７の上端側の内側と対面する位置に配置されている。この構成により、開放状態では（図９（ａ）参照）、開閉検知スイッチ１５８は作動せず、リッド１１４が開いていることが検知される。そのため、第二発光部１２２を発光させる色に応じてＬＥＤ１５１が選択され、予め設定されたＬＥＤ１５１のみが発光し、他のＬＥＤ１５１は消灯したままとなる。一方、施錠状態では（図９（ｂ）参照）、開閉検知スイッチ１５８が押されてリッド１１４が閉じていることが検知される。そのため、第一発光部１２１を発光させる色に応じてＬＥＤ１５１が選択され、予め設定されたＬＥＤ１５１のみが発光し、他のＬＥＤ１５１は消灯したままとなる。このように、リッド１１４の開閉に伴って、発光させたい所望の色のみを発光させ、不要な色を消灯させることができる。 According to the vehicular illumination device 101, the light source unit 150 includes the open / close detection switch 158 that detects the opening / closing of the lid 114, and the lever 158 a is disposed at a position facing the inner side of the upper end side of the light guide direction switching switch 157. ing. With this configuration, in the open state (see FIG. 9A), the open / close detection switch 158 does not operate and it is detected that the lid 114 is open. Therefore, the LED 151 is selected according to the color that causes the second light emitting unit 122 to emit light, only the preset LED 151 emits light, and the other LEDs 151 remain off. On the other hand, in the locked state (see FIG. 9B), it is detected that the open / close detection switch 158 is pressed and the lid 114 is closed. Therefore, the LED 151 is selected according to the color that causes the first light emitting unit 121 to emit light, only the preset LED 151 emits light, and the other LEDs 151 remain off. Thus, as the lid 114 is opened and closed, only a desired color to be emitted can be emitted, and unnecessary colors can be turned off.
　上記した第二実施形態の他の実施形態として、第一発光部は、境界部においてリッドの周縁に沿って外面に取り付けられていてもよい。この場合、第一導光体に光透過性の加飾が施されていてもよい。 As another embodiment of the second embodiment described above, the first light-emitting portion may be attached to the outer surface along the periphery of the lid at the boundary portion.
