JP 2001-138808 A

  The technique of Patent Document 1 is a technique for lighting a room light in an illuminating manner desired by the occupant when the occupant switches the switch of the room light. Therefore, if the occupant actively switches the switch to change the design effect in the passenger compartment, this can relieve the occupant's stress, but the occupant is not aware of their potential stress. May cause a situation where fatigue due to stress accumulates.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle interior light device that can relieve potential stress caused to an occupant by lighting with an interior light and prevent fatigue from accumulating before the occupant is aware of it. It is to provide.

The vehicle interior light of the present invention includes an interior light that illuminates the interior of the vehicle without irradiating illumination light to at least the driver, a lighting control unit that controls lighting of the interior light, and the lighting control. A mode setting means for setting the means to a manual mode and an auto mode; a light control setting means for adjusting light when the manual mode is set; and a sensor. It is characterized by detecting the stress applied to the passenger of the vehicle, detecting when the surrounding brightness of the vehicle has become a predetermined darkness, and dimming the interior light based on these detections. To do. Here, since it is practically difficult to directly detect the occupant's stress, in the present invention, the vehicle traveling state, the state of the passenger compartment, and the posture of the occupant, which are correlated with the stress, are detected. By detecting the stress.

For example, the lighting control means detects the time since the vehicle started. Alternatively, the frequency or total amount of vertical and horizontal shaking of the vehicle is detected. Or the warning from the alarm device provided in the vehicle is detected. Alternatively , at least one value of the occupant's pulse, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and body temperature is detected by a biosensor provided in the vehicle . Then, dimming is executed based on these detected values.

  The lighting control means in the present invention performs dimming to change and control at least one of the illuminance, light color, and illumination mode of the room lamp, for example. Moreover, it is preferable that the interior light in the present invention has a structure that indirectly illuminates the interior of the vehicle in order to enhance the stress relaxation effect. For example, the interior light is configured to illuminate the ceiling in the vehicle interior. Furthermore, in order to increase the degree of freedom of dimming, it is preferable that the illumination light of the interior lamp does not leak out of the passenger compartment.

According to the present invention, to detect the running state or the like having a correlation with the occupant of stress and stress, detects when the brightness around the vehicle becomes a predetermined darkness, according to these detected results It becomes possible to automatically dim the illumination light of the room light. Therefore, it is possible to alleviate the stress by performing dimming that heals the occupant with the interior light when the occupant is stressed. This makes it possible to prevent fatigue from accumulating before the occupant is aware of it. On the other hand, since the illumination light is not irradiated to the driver, it is possible to prevent the driver from being dazzled or to prevent the driver from hindering driving.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the interior of a vehicle when the vehicle interior lighting device of the present invention is installed in an automobile. A main room light 1 is disposed at a part of the ceiling panel UP of the vehicle compartment R of the automobile, for example, at a position corresponding to the middle between the driver seat and the passenger seat. This main room light 1 is used to illuminate the interior of the passenger compartment R with direct light when it is turned on, and what is used as a conventional interior light of an automobile is used as it is. Then, detailed explanation is omitted. In addition, sub-interior lights 2 configured as interior lights in the present invention are disposed at two locations along both edges in the vehicle width direction of the ceiling panel UP. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the sub-interior lamp 2 is configured as an indoor lamp that illuminates the ceiling panel UP and indirectly illuminates the interior of the passenger compartment R by illuminating the ceiling panel UP.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the right sub-interior lamp 2 when the automobile is viewed from the front, that is, an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG. The ceiling panel UP and the side interior panel DP are arranged as interior materials of the vehicle interior along the inner surface of the vehicle body panel including the side panel SP, the roof panel RP, etc., and the sub-interior lamp 2 is connected to the side interior panel DP. It is attached to the inner surface. The sub indoor lamp 2 includes a casing 3 fixedly supported by the side interior panel DP and a light source unit 4 housed in the casing 3, and the light source unit 4 emits light and is emitted from the casing 3. The interior of the passenger compartment R is indirectly illuminated by irradiating the ceiling panel UP with light.

  FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a part of the right side sub-interior lamp 2. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the casing 3 has an upper surface portion and a side surface portion that are opened, and a cross-section is half. An arcuate overall shape is constituted by a lower case 31 having a boat shape, and an upper case 32 having a substantially inverted L-shaped cross section covering the upper surface opening and side surface opening of the lower case 31. In the upper case 32, at least the upper surface 321 is formed of a transparent or milky white light transmitting member that transmits light emitted from the light source unit 4. In the case where the upper case 32 is formed to be transparent, the upper surface 321 may be provided with a step or a texture for diffusing light. In addition, hook pieces 33 protruding outward are integrally formed at a plurality of locations on the side surface 322 of the upper case 32. These hook pieces 33 can be engaged with engagement holes 34 opened in the side interior panel DP of the automobile, and the upper case 32 is supported by the side interior panel DP by this engagement.

  The lower case 31 is made of a non-translucent member so as not to transmit light emitted from the light source unit 4, and has a desired color, here, the ceiling panel UP or side interior panel which is the interior color of the passenger compartment. It is formed in the same color as DP. Although the detailed structure is not shown in the drawing, the lower case 31 has a fitting structure that fits into the upper case 31, and is integrated with the upper case 31 in a removable state. The Accordingly, the casing 3 of the sub indoor lamp 2 is supported by the side interior panel DP by fitting the lower case 31 to the upper case 32 supported by the side interior panel DP and integrating them. . In this supported state, the upper surface 321 of the upper case 32 is disposed opposite to the vehicle interior ceiling with a required gap.

  The light source unit 4 includes an LED (light emitting diode) 41 as a light emitting source and a light guide 42 that guides light emitted from the LED 41 and emits the light from the peripheral surface to the outside. Here, the light guide 42 is formed of a columnar transparent resin extending in the longitudinal direction of the casing 3, and the light guide integrally provided in the lower case 31 at both ends in the length direction. The body support bracket 35 is fixedly supported in the lower case 31.

  The LED 41 is configured as an RGB full-color LED (three-wavelength synthesis LED) in which three LED elements (chips) emitting red, blue, and green light are unitized, and is mounted on a rectangular circuit board 43. ing. The circuit board 43 is inserted and supported in a vertical groove of the board support bracket 36 provided in the lower case 31 in a state of being opposed to one end of the light guide. An electrical cord 44 having a connector 45 is connected to the circuit board 43. The electrical cord 44 has an insertion hole 37 opened in the side surface 322 of the upper case 32 and an insertion hole 38 opened in the side interior panel DP. After being passed, it is electrically connected to an ECU 5 described later. The left sub-indoor lamp 2 has the same configuration except that it has a symmetrical shape.

  FIG. 4 shows a block configuration diagram of the electrical system of the sub-room light 2. As shown in FIG. Each of the left and right sub indoor lamps 2 is connected to an ECU (electronic control unit) 5 that controls each part of the automobile. Under the control of the ECU 5, lighting of the sub indoor lamp 2 is controlled and light control is performed. The indoor lamp device of the present invention is constituted by the sub indoor lamp 2 and the ECU 5. The ECU 5 also has a function of controlling the lighting of the sub indoor lamp 2, so that it is configured as a lighting control means in the present invention. Will be. The ECU 5 is connected to switches and sensors, which will be described later, and various devices. The ECU 5 performs necessary calculations based on the on / off of these switches, the sensor output, and the operations of the various devices. A stress applied to the occupant is detected, and lighting control of the sub indoor lamp 2 or dimming of the illumination light is executed based on the detected stress.

  As the switch, there is a mode switch MSW that is operated by an occupant to set the lighting mode of the sub room light. Further, there is a dimming switch CSW that is manually operated by a passenger in relation to the mode switch MSW. The dimming switch CSW is illustrated as one switch in FIG. 4, but actually includes an illuminance dimming switch, a light color dimming switch, and an illumination form dimming switch. These switches are arranged in the vicinity of the dashboard of the automobile or the rear seat. Further, a communication device for performing remote control similarly to the case where the mode switch MSW or the dimming switch CSW is manually operated by performing communication with a portable terminal possessed by the occupant and operating the form terminal by the occupant. CMD is connected.

  As the sensor, a time sensor TS that measures the time since the start of the automobile, an acceleration sensor AS that detects the left and right and up and down shaking of the automobile, a temperature sensor DS that measures the temperature in the passenger compartment, and a humidity in the passenger compartment are measured. There is a humidity sensor MS.

  As the various devices, in addition to the communication device CMD, an auto light device (Conlight) ALD that automatically turns on / off the lamp according to the brightness of the surroundings of the vehicle, and a driving lane line of the vehicle are detected. Then, there is a lane departure warning device LDW that warns of a lane departure, and an inter-vehicle distance warning device ACC that detects and warns the distance between the preceding vehicle and the preceding vehicle.

  In this configuration, in the sub room lamp 2, when the current is supplied to the LED 41 by the lighting control in the ECU 5, the LED 41 emits light and enters a lighting state. At this time, in the LED 41, any one or all of the LED elements of red, blue, and green emit light, and light is emitted as color light obtained by adding and synthesizing the respective emission colors. The emitted light is incident on the inside of the light guide 42 from the end face of one end of the light guide 42 and is guided in the length direction inside the light guide 42. Then, the guided light is emitted from the peripheral side surface of the light guide 42, particularly from the upper peripheral side surface. At this time, most of the guided light can be emitted from the upper peripheral side surface by performing light reflection processing on the lower peripheral side surface of the light guide 42. The emitted light is transmitted through the translucent area of the upper case 32, here the upper surface 321, and is emitted to the outside of the casing 3, and is irradiated to the facing ceiling panel UP as illustrated in FIGS. .

  At this time, since the lower case 31 is a light-impermeable member, the light emitted from the light guide 42 does not pass through the lower case 31 and is directly irradiated into the passenger compartment R. Therefore, only the ceiling panel UP is illuminated in the vehicle interior R by the sub indoor lamp 2, and the interior of the vehicle interior R is indirectly illuminated. Further, as described above, since the light emitted from the sub room lamp 2 is not emitted downward, the emitted illumination light passes through the rear window RW and the side window SW (see FIG. 1) of the automobile. It can be prevented from being emitted outside the room, that is, outside the automobile, and dazzling with respect to other vehicles can be prevented. At the same time, the illumination light can be prevented from being emitted toward the driver seated in the driver's seat, so that the driver does not feel bothersome and can prevent the driver from being dazzled.

  According to the above configuration, by controlling the current supplied to the LED 41 in the ECU 5, the luminous intensity of the LED 41 can be changed and the illuminance when the interior of the passenger compartment R is indirectly illuminated can be changed. In addition, by individually controlling the current supplied to the red, blue, and green LED elements of the LED 41, the luminous intensity of each color light emitted is changed, and the emission color of the LED 41 that combines these colored lights is variously changed. Thus, the color of light emitted from the sub indoor lamp 2 can be changed. Further, since the ECU 5 can change and control the light intensity and light color of the LED 41 with time, it is possible to perform lighting control of the illumination form by changing the illuminance and light color of the illumination light by the sub room lamp 2 with time. Is possible.

  The lighting control by the sub indoor lamp 2 having this configuration, that is, the stress relieving action of the occupant by dimming the sub indoor lamp 2 targeted by the present invention will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart thereof. When the occupant operates the mode switch MS to set the manual mode (S11), the dimming switch CSW is capable of dimming the sub indoor lamp 2 (S12). Therefore, when the occupant manually operates the dimming switch CSW to set the desired dimming state (S12), the ECU 5 performs dimming in response to the setting of the dimming switch CSW (S15). That is, the illuminance of the indirect illumination by the sub room lamp 2 is dimmed based on the setting at the illuminance dimming switch, and the light color of the illumination light is dimmed based on the setting at the light color dimming switch that is also manually set. . Moreover, the illumination mode dimming switch set manually controls the illuminance and light color of the sub room lamp 2 over time.

  Accordingly, the occupant operates the dimming switch CSW to set the illuminance, light color, and illumination mode that he / she is most healed, so that the vehicle interior is illuminated by the sub-interior lamp 2 in the set mode. , The passenger's stress is alleviated. The mode setting and the dimming setting can also be performed by the ECU 5 by operating a portable terminal carried by the occupant and wirelessly or preferentially connected to the communication device CMD. .

  On the other hand, when the occupant sets the mode switch MSW to the auto mode (S11), the ECU 5 determines the autolight device ALD, the lane departure warning device LDW, the inter-vehicle distance warning based on the detection output of each sensor TS, AS, DS, MS. The occupant's stress is detected based on the operating state of the device ACC (S13). Since the occupant's stress is mental and physical, it is difficult to detect this directly, so here the situation that causes the occupant's stress, i.e. The passenger's stress is detected by detecting the situation in the passenger compartment.

  For example, the ECU 5 detects the time since the start of the automobile, in other words, the time when the occupant is in the vehicle by the time sensor TS, and detects the occupant's stress from the passage of the detected time. That is, since the fatigue of the occupant increases and the stress gradually increases with the lapse of the time that the occupant is in the vehicle, the boarding time is detected as the occupant stress.

  When the acceleration sensor AS detects a change in acceleration and detects a vertical or horizontal swing applied to the occupant, the ECU 5 detects the occupant's stress by calculating the frequency and total amount of the sway. This is because the occupant's fatigue increases due to up and down and left and right shaking, and the stress increases.

  Further, the passenger's stress is detected based on the temperature in the vehicle interior detected by the temperature sensor DS and the humidity in the vehicle interior detected by the humidity sensor MS. This is because these temperatures and humidity affect occupant fatigue and increase stress.

  On the other hand, the ECU 5 detects the driver's stress by detecting the frequency of the lane departure warning by the lane departure warning device LDW and the frequency and total number of warnings of the inter-vehicle distance from the preceding vehicle by the inter-vehicle distance warning device ACC. To do. Since the driver's stress correlates with the stresses of other occupants in the same car, the occupant's stress is detected by detecting the driver's stress.

Furthermore, as another method of detecting the occupant's stress in the ECU 5, as shown by a chain line in FIG. 4 , a biosensor BS, a vehicle interior camera CA, and a navigation device NA may be used. That is, the occupant's pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and the like may be detected by the biosensor BS, and the occupant's stress may be detected from the detected values. For example, stress is detected from the increase in pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. Alternatively, the occupant's stress can be detected by detecting a change in posture when the occupant is seated from an image of the occupant captured by the vehicle interior camera CA mounted on the automobile. Furthermore, the vehicle's steering status is detected from the vehicle's travel road information obtained from the navigation device NA mounted on the vehicle, and the occupant's stress is detected by detecting the road surface condition and the left / right shaking applied to the occupant when traveling on a curved road. May be detected.

  Then, the ECU 5 enables dimming of the sub indoor lamp 2 when the auto light device ALD is activated, that is, when the brightness of the surroundings of the automobile becomes a predetermined darkness. When the ECU 5 detects an occupant's stress (S14), dimming is performed to relieve the stress (S15). The dimming S15 may be basically the same as in manual mode, but in the auto mode, for example, the dimming is changed according to the degree of stress on the passenger. For example, stress is detected, and the illuminance of the indirect illumination by the sub room light 2 is changed as the detection time becomes longer, and the light color is changed with or independently of this. Like that. Furthermore, control is performed to change these over time.

  For example, when the ECU 5 detects an occupant's stress, the illuminance of the sub-interior lamp 2 is gradually decreased with the passage of time during which the stress is continuously detected, so that the vehicle interior is in a dim lighting state. In accordance with this, the light color is gradually changed to a warm color system. As a result, the interior of the vehicle is indirectly illuminated with illuminance and colored light that heals the occupant, and an effect of relieving the occupant's stress can be obtained. In the case of actually performing such dimming, it is possible to set in advance a standard dimming state such as illuminance or light color that has a healing effect corresponding to the personality, nature, etc. of the passenger riding in the car. preferable.

  In addition, various forms of illumination are possible for dimming. For example, the illuminance is gradually increased or decreased over time in a predetermined cycle, and the light color is changed in accordance with this or independently. There is a mode in which it changes slowly with period. In addition, there is a form in which the illuminance is gradually decreased or the light color is gradually changed to a warm color system as the detected total amount of up / down and left / right shaking is increased. Furthermore, there is a form in which the illuminance is reduced as the detected temperature and humidity increase, or the color light is appropriately changed between the warm color system and the cold color system in accordance with the increase and decrease of the temperature.

  In this light control, the illumination light from the sub indoor lamp 2 is not emitted to the outside of the automobile as described above, so that the illuminance and color light of the illumination light are not subject to legal restrictions, and free illuminance. The light can be dimmed in the form of light and lighting, and the optimum lighting for relieving the occupant's stress can be realized. In particular, if the upper regions of the front, rear, and side windows are configured as smoke portions (semi-transparent portions), the illumination light of the sub-interior lamp 2 is reliably prevented from leaking outside the vehicle. Therefore, dimming with any illuminance, light color, and illumination form can be realized without being restricted by laws and regulations, and the stress relief effect for the passenger can be enhanced.

  As a structure of the indoor lamp of the present invention, that is, the sub indoor lamp 2 of the embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a structure in which the upper case 32 of the casing 3 is fixedly supported by a mounting screw 39 to the side panel SP of the automobile. It is good. In FIG. 6, the same reference numerals are given to the parts equivalent to those in FIG. 2, but here, a part 323 of the side surface 322 of the upper case 32 protrudes outward, and this protruding part 323 is provided in the side interior panel DP. After the opening is inserted, the side panel SP is fixedly supported by the mounting screw 39. With this structure, no hook piece is required, and the structure of the upper case 32 is simplified.

  The light source unit 4 may be composed of a plurality of LEDs without using a light guide, and may be arranged in an interior in a state where these are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the casing. In FIG. 6, the circuit board 43 is supported in a substantially horizontal direction by a board support bracket 46 erected on the inner bottom surface of the lower case 31, and a plurality of LEDs 41 are placed on the upper surface of the circuit board 43 with the light emitting surface facing upward. The circuit boards 43 are arranged and mounted in the length direction. Therefore, the light emitted from the LED 41 passes through the upper surface 321 of the upper case 32 and is irradiated to the ceiling panel UP, so that indirect illumination of the vehicle interior is performed.

  Also in this embodiment, the LED 41 may be configured as an RGB full-color LED as in the above embodiment. Although not shown, the plurality of LEDs 41 may be mounted on independent circuit boards, and each circuit board may be supported by the lower case 31 independently. When a plurality of LEDs are used, LEDs that emit different color lights are arranged, and these LEDs are individually or simultaneously emitted to control each of illuminance, light color, and illumination mode. Good.

  The interior light according to the present invention is preferably arranged so that the illumination light does not dazzle the driver, that is, the illumination light does not enter the driver's eyes. It is not restricted to the structure arrange | positioned in the right-and-left both edge position of the ceiling panel UP of the vehicle interior R like this. For example, you may arrange | position in the front seat of a motor vehicle, ie, the seat back of a driver's seat or a passenger seat, or the back of a headrest. FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram of an example thereof, but is an example in which the sub indoor lamp 2 is disposed on the back surface of the headrest HR of the front seat FS, and the light emitted from the sub indoor lamp 2 is directed obliquely upward to the rear. Irradiating the ceiling panel UP. Also in this configuration, the configuration is made such that the illumination light emitted from the sub-interior lamp 2 is not directly irradiated to the occupant, so that the vehicle interior can be indirectly illuminated and the occupant's stress can be alleviated.

  In the embodiment, the sub indoor lamp 2 is configured separately from the main indoor lamp 1, but the sub indoor lamp may be formed integrally with the main indoor lamp. For example, as shown by a chain line in FIG. 7, the sub room lamp 2 is integrally formed on the side or rear part of the casing of the main room lamp 1, and the sub room lamp 2 is lit independently of the main room lamp 1. The light may be controlled and adjusted. By turning on and dimming the sub room lamp 2 when the main room lamp 1 is not lit, the ceiling panel UP in the rear region of the main room lamp 1 is illuminated, and indirect lighting in the vehicle interior is realized. It is the same that the stress of the passenger is relieved by this. Even in this case, it is necessary to configure so that the illumination light of the sub indoor lamp 2 is not irradiated at least toward the driver's seat.

  The specific configuration of the indoor lamp according to the present invention, that is, the sub indoor lamp described in the embodiment is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment. A room light having an arbitrary configuration can be adopted as long as it can realize lighting that can heal the passengers of the automobile and relieve stress. In this case, it is preferable that the illumination light of the sub room lamp does not leak out of the automobile and does not illuminate the driver.

  The light source of the room lamp in the present invention may be a surface light emitter such as EL (electroluminescence). In particular, when EL is used, the ceiling can be lit in an arbitrary form by sticking the EL to the ceiling in the vehicle cabin, and the lighting effect of the interior lighting device of the present invention can be enhanced.

  The present invention is not limited to an automobile, and can be adopted as an interior light that illuminates the interior of a vehicle.
