Description

The present invention relates to vehicle headlights.

Vehicle headlights typified by automobile headlights are known to be equipped with a light source for a low beam that illuminates the front at night, a light source for a high beam that illuminates a distance farther than the low beam, and the like. The light from the light source for the high beam includes the light emitted above the low beam. In addition, some vehicle headlights are provided with these light sources in one lamp unit.

For example, in Patent Document 1 below, a reflector unit having first and second light emitting elements arranged side by side in the front-rear direction and a reflector for reflecting light emitted from these first and second light emitting elements toward the front. A vehicle lamp equipped with at least two of them is disclosed. In the vehicle lighting equipment, the first light emitting element is used as a light source for a low beam, and the second light emitting element is used as a light source for a high beam.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-72017

In the vehicle lighting equipment of Patent Document 1, a low beam light distribution pattern or a part thereof is formed by simultaneously lighting the first light emitting element of each of the reflector units. Further, by simultaneously lighting the second light emitting element of each of the reflector units, a high beam light distribution pattern or a part thereof is formed. As described above, in the conventional headlight for a vehicle, a light distribution for a low beam and a light distribution for a high beam are formed by using a plurality of units having a light emitting element for a low beam, a light emitting element for a high beam, and a reflector. For this reason, the headlights for vehicles may become large.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle headlight capable of forming a desired low beam light distribution and high beam light distribution with one lamp unit.

In order to solve the above problems, in the vehicle headlight of the present invention, a reflector having a first reflection region and a second reflection region and a light emitting element that emits light reflected in the first reflection region are arranged. A first arrangement region and a second arrangement region in which a light emitting element that emits light reflected in the second reflection region is arranged are provided, and the first arrangement region emits light having a low beam. 1 A low beam light emitting element and a first high beam light emitting element that emits light to be a high beam are arranged, and a second high beam light emitting element that emits high beam light is arranged in the second arrangement region. The direct light from the light emitting element arranged in one arrangement region is characterized in that it does not enter the second reflection region.

When light from a plurality of light sources is reflected by the same reflecting surface, the direction in which the light from the light sources is reflected can be different depending on the arrangement of the light sources. Therefore, in the vehicle headlight, the light from the first low beam light emitting element and the light from the first high beam light emitting element reflected in the first reflection region can be reflected in different directions. Therefore, the light distribution by the light from the first low beam light emitting element and the light distribution by the light from the first high beam light emitting element can be shifted from each other in the vertical direction. However, the low beam light distribution and the high beam light distribution differ not only in the direction in which the light is irradiated, but also in the shape and brightness distribution of the range in which the light is irradiated. Here, in the vehicle headlight, the light distribution of the high beam can be complemented by the light from the second high beam light emitting element reflected in the second reflection region. Further, since the direct light from the light emitting element arranged in the first arrangement region does not enter the second reflection region, the light from the first low beam light emitting element and the first high beam light emitting element is reflected in the second reflection region. It is possible to suppress reflection in an unintended direction. As described above, in the vehicle headlight, the light from the first low beam light emitting element reflected in the first reflection region forms a desired low beam light distribution, and the light is reflected in the first reflection region. A desired high beam light distribution can be formed by the light from the high beam light emitting element and the light from the second high beam light emitting element reflected in the second reflection region. As described above, according to the vehicle headlight, one lamp unit can form a desired low beam light distribution and high beam light distribution.

Further, when a plurality of the first low beam light emitting elements are provided and at least one of the first high beam light emitting element and the second high beam light emitting element emits light, at least one of the plurality of first low beam light emitting elements is emitted. It is preferable that one emits light and at least one of the other lights goes out.

When at least one of the first high beam light emitting element and the second high beam light emitting element emits light, that is, when the high beam is lit, the first low beam light emitting element is also emitted to emit light, thereby widening the light distribution in the vertical direction (as seen by the driver). Light distribution in a wide range from the front side to the distant side of the vehicle). However, when the high beam is lit, there is a desire to make the lower part (the front side of the vehicle when viewed from the driver) darker than when the low beam is lit. By turning off a part of the first low beam light emitting element, the amount of light below the high beam light distribution can be reduced as compared with the low beam light distribution, and it becomes easier to form a desired high beam light distribution.

Further, it is preferable that the second low beam light emitting element that emits light that is reflected in the second reflection region and becomes a low beam is arranged in the second arrangement region.

By providing the second low beam light emitting element, the light distribution formed by the light from the first low beam light emitting element can be supplemented by the light from the second low beam light emitting element. For example, a predetermined region of the low beam light distribution can be made relatively brighter than other regions. By providing the second low beam light emitting element in this way, it becomes easier to form a desired low beam light distribution.

Further, it is preferable that the total number of light emitting elements that emit light when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit is the same.

By making the total number of light emitting elements that emit light when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit the same, it is possible to reduce the difference in the amount of heat generated by the light emitting elements when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit. For example, when the amount of heat generated by each light emitting element at the time of light emission is the same, the amount of heat generated by the light emitting element can be substantially the same when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit. By reducing the difference in the amount of heat generated by the light emitting elements between when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit in this way, it is easy to optimize the design of the heat sink or the like for releasing the heat generated by each light emitting element. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heat sink and the like from becoming large in size.

Further, the light distribution by the light emitted by the second high beam light emitting element is centered in the left-right direction within the light distribution by the light emitted by the first high beam light emitting element, and the first low beam light emitting element is It is preferable that the range includes a portion that overlaps with the light distribution by the emitted light and is narrower than the light distribution by the light emitted by the first high beam light emitting element.

According to such a vehicle headlight, the light from the first high beam light emitting element forms a rough portion of the high beam light distribution, and the light from the second high beam light emitting element complements the high beam light distribution. can do.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a vehicle headlight capable of forming a desired low beam light distribution and high beam light distribution with one lamp unit.

It is a cross-sectional view in the vertical direction on the left side. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the lamp 1a, which is a part of the vehicle headlight 1, includes a housing 10 and a lighting unit LU housed in the housing 10.

<Case 10>
The housing 10 includes a lamp housing 11, a front cover 12, and a back cover 13 as main components. The front of the lamp housing 11 has an opening, and the front cover 12 is fixed to the lamp housing 11 so as to close the opening. Further, an opening smaller than the front is formed behind the lamp housing 11, and the back cover 13 is fixed to the lamp housing 11 so as to close the opening.

The space formed by the lamp housing 11, the front cover 12 that closes the front opening of the lamp housing 11, and the back cover 13 that closes the rear opening of the lamp housing 11 is the light room LR. The lamp unit LU is housed inside.

<Lamp unit LU>
The lamp unit LU includes a support member 30, a reflector 20, a first low beam light emitting element 41, a first high beam light emitting element 42, a second low beam light emitting element 51, and a second high beam light emitting element 52 as main components. ..

The support member 30 is a metal member and has a top plate 31, a back plate 32, and a locking portion 33. The top plate 31 is a plate-shaped metal member extending substantially horizontally, and the back plate 32 is a plate-shaped metal member extending substantially vertically. The rear end of the top plate 31 and the upper end of the back plate 32 are connected to each other. Further, a locking portion 33 is connected near the upper end of the back plate 32. The locking portion 33 extends rearward from the back plate 32, and the locking portion 33 is formed with a screw hole that opens to the rear side. A screw 35 is screwed into the screw hole from the outside of the lamp housing 11, and the locking portion 33 is fixed to the lamp housing 11. Further, a screw hole is also formed on the lower side of the back plate 32, and a screw 34 is screwed into the screw hole from the outside of the lamp housing 11 to fix the back plate 32 to the lamp housing 11. In this way, the back plate 32 is fixed in the light room LR in a substantially vertical state, and the top plate 31 connected to the back plate 32 is also fixed in the light room LR. By adjusting these screws 34 and 35, the angle of the back plate 32 can be finely adjusted, and the angle of the top plate 31 can be finely adjusted accordingly.

The reflector 20 is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 31. The reflector 20 has a reflector main body portion 24 and a plating portion 23. The reflector main body 24 is made of resin. The plating portion 23 is a thin film composed of a metal such as aluminum or a metal oxide on the front side (front cover 12 side) surface of the reflector main body portion 24. The surface of the plated portion 23 is a light reflecting surface 23r.

FIG. 5 is a front view schematically showing the reflector 20 shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the reflecting surface 23r has a first reflecting region 21r and a second reflecting region 22r, which are different regions from each other. In the present embodiment, the second reflection region 22r is smaller than the first reflection region 21r and is formed at the upper left end of the first reflection region 21r in the front view of the lamp 1a.

The first reflection region 21r has, for example, a concave shape formed of a free curved surface based on a parabola whose opening direction is on the front side. More specifically, the shape of the first reflection region 21r in the vertical cross section is generally the shape below the apex when the central axis of the parabola is horizontal, and the shape of the first reflection region 21r in the horizontal direction. The shape in the cross section is generally a shape including the apex of the parabola. However, the parabola in the vertical cross section of the first reflection region 21r and the parabola in the horizontal cross section may be different from each other. Further, the shape of the first reflection region 21r in the cross section in the horizontal direction does not have to be based on a parabola, and may be, for example, a shape based on a part of an ellipse or another concave shape. In the present embodiment, in the front view of the lamp 1a, the upper left of the first reflection region 21r is missing, and the second reflection region 22r is formed in this missing portion.

The second reflection region 22r has, for example, a concave shape formed of a free curved surface based on a parabola whose opening direction is on the front side. More specifically, the shape of the second reflection region 22r in the vertical cross section is generally the shape below the apex when the central axis of the parabola is horizontal, and the shape of the second reflection region 22r in the horizontal direction. The shape in the cross section is generally a shape including the apex of the parabola. However, the parabola in the vertical cross section of the second reflection region 22r and the parabola in the horizontal cross section may be different from each other. Further, the shape of the second reflection region 22r in the cross section in the horizontal direction does not have to be based on a parabola, and may be, for example, a shape based on a part of an ellipse or another concave shape.

Further, on the lower surface of the top plate 31, a first arrangement region 40 in which a light emitting element that emits light reflected by the first reflection region 21r is arranged, and a light emission that emits light reflected by the second reflection region 22r. A second arrangement region 50 in which the element is arranged is formed. The second arrangement region 50 is formed diagonally to the right and front of the first arrangement area 40. Further, the direct light from the light emitting element arranged in the first arrangement region 40 does not enter the second reflection region 22r.

In the first arrangement region 40, a first low beam light emitting element 41 that emits light that becomes a low beam and a first high beam light emitting element 42 that emits light that becomes a high beam are arranged. In the present embodiment, two first low beam light emitting elements 41 and one first high beam light emitting element 42 are arranged. Further, each of these first low beam light emitting elements 41 is arranged near the focal point of a parabola based on the vertical cross-sectional shape of the first reflection region 21r, and the first high beam light emitting element 42 is a first low beam light emitting element. It is arranged in front of 41.

In the second arrangement region 50, a second low beam light emitting element 51 that emits light that becomes a low beam and a second high beam light emitting element 52 that emits light that becomes a high beam are arranged. In the present embodiment, one second low beam light emitting element 51 and two second high beam light emitting elements 52 are arranged. Further, the second low beam light emitting element 51 is arranged near the focal point of the parabola based on the vertical cross-sectional shape of the second reflection region 22r, and the two second high beam light emitting elements 52 are respectively the second low beam light emitting elements. It is arranged in front of 51.

The first low beam light emitting element 41, the first high beam light emitting element 42, the second low beam light emitting element 51, and the second high beam light emitting element 52 are, for example, LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). The first low beam light emitting element 41, the first high beam light emitting element 42, the second low beam light emitting element 51, and the second high beam light emitting element 52 are connected to a circuit board (not shown) and are connected to the circuit board. Light can be emitted by feeding power. The first low beam light emitting element 41, the first high beam light emitting element 42, the second low beam light emitting element 51, and the second high beam light emitting element 52 may be connected to separate circuit boards, respectively, and one circuit board. May be connected to. However, since the first low beam light emitting element 41, the first high beam light emitting element 42, the second low beam light emitting element 51, and the second high beam light emitting element 52 are connected to one circuit board, the number of parts is large. This can be suppressed and the relative position of each light emitting element can be easily determined.

Next, the operation and the effect of the vehicle headlight 1 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6A shows a low beam light distribution, FIG. 6B shows a high beam light distribution, and FIG. 6C shows a daytime illumination light distribution.

<When the low beam is lit>
In the present embodiment, the low beam is irradiated by the light from the first low beam light emitting element 41 and the second low beam light emitting element 51.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, most of the light L41 emitted from the first low beam light emitting element 41 is reflected in the first reflection region 21r. Of the light L41, the light emitted from the frontmost region of the emitting portion of the first low beam light emitting element 41 forms the low beam cut line shown in FIG. 6 (A). Further, the first low beam light emitting element 41 is arranged near the focal point of the parabola based on the vertical cross-sectional shape of the first reflection region 21r as described above, and is the emitting portion of the first low beam light emitting element 41. Regardless of which part of the first reflection region 21r the light emitted from the same region in the above is reflected, the light is generally parallel to each other after reflection.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, most of the light L51 emitted from the second low beam light emitting element 51 is reflected in the second reflection region 22r. The light L51 reflected in the second reflection region 22r is irradiated to the range A1 of the low beam light distribution shown in FIG. 6 (A), which is slightly to the left of the center in the left-right direction near the cut line. NS. By providing the second low beam light emitting element 51 in this way, the light distribution formed by the light from the first low beam light emitting element 41 can be supplemented by the light from the second low beam light emitting element 51. For example, a predetermined region of the low beam light distribution can be made relatively brighter than other regions. The range A1 is a range that is particularly preferably brightened in the low beam light distribution. By providing the second low beam light emitting element 51 in this way, it becomes easy to form a desired low beam light distribution.

<When the high beam is lit>
In the present embodiment, the high beam is irradiated by the light from the first high beam light emitting element 42 and the second high beam light emitting element 52 in addition to the light L41 from the first low beam light emitting element 41.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, most of the light L42 emitted from the first high beam light emitting element 42 is reflected in the first reflection region 21r. The first high beam light emitting element 42 is arranged in front of the first low beam light emitting element 41 as described above, and at least a part of the light L42 reflected in the first reflection region 21r is a cut line of the low beam. It is irradiated higher. In this way, the high beam light distribution shown in FIG. 6B is formed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, most of the light L52 emitted from the second high beam light emitting element 52 is reflected in the second reflection region 22r. The second high beam light emitting element 52 is arranged in front of the second low beam light emitting element 51 as described above, and at least a part of the light L52 reflected by the second reflection region 22r is the second low beam light emitting element. It is irradiated above the light emitted from 51. The light distribution by the light L52 reflected in the second reflection region 22r is formed in, for example, the range A2 shown in FIG. 6 (B). The range A2 is a range including a portion that is centered in the left-right direction and overlaps with the light distribution by the light emitted by the first low beam light emitting element 41 in the light distribution by the light emitted by the first high beam light emitting element 42. Therefore, the range is narrower than the light distribution by the light emitted by the first high beam light emitting element 42. By providing the second high beam light emitting element 52 in this way, it is possible to make a predetermined region of the high beam light distribution relatively brighter than other regions. The range A2 is a range that must be particularly brightened in the light distribution of the high beam. As described above, according to the vehicle headlight 1, the light from the first high beam light emitting element 42 forms a rough portion of the high beam light distribution, and the light from the second high beam light emitting element 52 forms the high beam distribution. It can complement the light.

As described above, when the high beam is lit, the first low beam light emitting element 41 is also made to emit light, so that the light distribution is wide in the vertical direction (light distribution in a wide range from the front side to the distant side of the vehicle 100 when viewed from the driver). Can be. However, when the high beam is lit, there is a desire to make the lower part (the front side of the vehicle 100 when viewed from the driver) darker than when the low beam is lit. Therefore, it is preferable to turn off at least one of the plurality of first low beam light emitting elements 41. By turning off a part of the plurality of first low beam light emitting elements 41, the amount of light below the high beam light distribution can be reduced as compared with the low beam light distribution, and a desired high beam light distribution can be further formed. It will be easier.

In the above description, when the high beam is lit, light is emitted from the first low beam light emitting element 41, the first high beam light emitting element 42, and the second high beam light emitting element 52. The second low beam light emitting element 51 may emit light.

When the second low beam light emitting element 51 is made to emit light when the high beam is lit, it is preferable to turn off at least one of the plurality of second low beam light emitting elements 51. By turning off a part of the plurality of second low beam light emitting elements 51, the brightness distributions of the low beam light distribution and the high beam light distribution can be made different from each other, and a desired high beam light distribution can be formed more. It will be easier.

Further, it is preferable that the total number of light emitting elements that emit light when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit is the same. By making the total number of light emitting elements that emit light when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit the same, it is possible to reduce the difference in the amount of heat generated by the light emitting elements when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit. Therefore, it becomes easy to optimize the design of the heat sink or the like for releasing the heat generated by each light emitting element, and it is possible to suppress the heat sink or the like from becoming large in size. As described above, from the viewpoint of reducing the difference in the amount of heat generated by the light emitting elements when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit, it is preferable that the amount of heat generated by each light emitting element is the same. When the amount of heat generated by each light emitting element at the time of light emission is the same, the amount of heat generated by the light emitting element can be substantially the same when the low beam is lit and when the high beam is lit.

<When the daytime lighting is on>
Since a part of the lamps 1a to 1c is used for daytime lighting, the daytime lighting distribution shown in FIG. 6C is formed when the daytime lighting is irradiated.

As described above, in the lamp 1a, the light from the first low beam light emitting element 41 and the first high beam light emitting element 42, which are arranged differently from each other, is reflected in the first reflection region 21r, so that the light is emitted in different directions. Can be reflected. Specifically, the light distribution by the light from the first low beam light emitting element 41 and the light distribution by the light from the first high beam light emitting element 42 can be partially overlapped and shifted in the vertical direction as described above. It is possible to form a rough part of the low beam distribution and the high beam light distribution. However, as described above, the low beam light distribution and the high beam light distribution differ not only in the direction in which the light is irradiated, but also in the shape and brightness distribution of the range in which the light is irradiated. Here, in the lamp 1a, the light distribution of the high beam can be complemented by the light from the second high beam light emitting element 52 reflected in the second reflection region 22r. As described above, in the lamp 1a, the light from the first low beam light emitting element 41 reflected in the first reflection region 21r forms a desired low beam light distribution, and the first reflection region 21r reflects the light. A desired high beam light distribution can be formed by the light from the high beam light emitting element 42 and the light from the second high beam light emitting element 52 reflected by the second reflection region 22r. Further, by configuring the lamp 1a so that the direct light from the light emitting element arranged in the first arrangement region 40 does not enter the second reflection region 22r, the light emitting element arranged in the first arrangement region 40 is formed. It is possible to prevent the light from being reflected in the second reflection region 22r and being reflected in an unintended direction. Therefore, the desired light distribution can be formed more easily. For example, even if the light from the first low beam light emitting element 41 is reflected in the second reflection region 22r and reflected in an unintended direction when the low beam is lit, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of upward dazzling light.

As described above, according to the vehicle headlight 1 of the present embodiment, a desired low beam light distribution and high beam light distribution can be formed by one lamp unit LU. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the increase in size of the vehicle headlights as compared with the case where the low beam lamp unit and the high beam lamp unit are provided separately.

Although the present invention has been described above by taking the above-described embodiment as an example, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

For example, in the above embodiment, the number of lamps is not particularly limited. Further, when a plurality of lamps are provided, the position of each lamp is not particularly limited. Therefore, for example, in the above embodiment, the lamp 1a may be arranged on the outermost side of the vehicle 100, and the lamp 1a may be arranged on the outermost side of the vehicle 100.

The number of each of the first high beam light emitting element 42, the second high beam light emitting element 52, the first low beam light emitting element 41, and the second low beam light emitting element 51 is not particularly limited, and the number of each is not particularly limited. 51 is not an essential component.

Further, the range of light distribution compensated by the light from the second low beam light emitting element 51 and the light from the second high beam light emitting element 52 is not particularly limited.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a vehicle headlight capable of forming a desired low beam light distribution and high beam light distribution with one lamp unit. The vehicle headlights can be used in the field of vehicle headlights such as automobiles.
