    A fire unit (20A, 20B, 20C) is fixed on a support (40) via a screw fastener in two positions in the vehicle width direction where an axis of rotation (Axl) of the unit of fire (20A, 20B, 20C) extends. Then, the support (40) includes projections formed in four positions in the direction where the axis of rotation (Axl) extends to allow the fire unit (20A, 20B, 20C) to be rotated in the vertical direction by being in contact with a support panel of the fire unit (20A, 20B, 20C). Therefore, with a simplified configuration, the contact portions of the four protrusions may function as pivot points when the fire unit (20A, 20B, 20C) has been rotated, and the fire unit (20A, 20B, 20C) ) can be rotated in the vertical direction.

    The present invention relates to a vehicle light which comprises a support member for supporting a fire unit so as to be rotatable in a required direction.
    [0002] Conventionally, a vehicle light is known which comprises a fire unit and a support member for supporting the fire unit so as to be rotatable in a required direction.
    As a vehicle light of this type, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2009-211966 discloses a vehicle light configured to adjust the optical axis of a fire unit by rotating the vehicle. fire unit in a required direction by suitably adjusting an optical axis adjusting bolt which connects the fire unit and a support member to each other.
    In the vehicle light disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. 2009-211966, a support structure of the fire unit using the support member must be configured to have a function. pivot point that allows the fire unit to be rotated by adjusting the optical axis adjustment bolt.
    As a support structure having the pivot point function, for example, a configuration in which a spherical bearing and a pivot are combined can be considered. However, in this case, the support structure is complicated, and the cost of the fire is correspondingly increased.
    The present invention has been made in view of the situation mentioned above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle light, which comprises a support member for supporting a unit of fire so as to to be able to rotate in a required direction, thereby rotating the fire unit in the required direction through a simplified configuration.
    In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses a configuration in which a predetermined projection is formed on a fire unit or a support member.
    That is, according to the present invention, a vehicle light comprises a fire unit, and a support member configured to support the fire unit so as to be rotatable in a required direction. The fire unit is fixed on the support member at least in a position in a direction in which an axis of rotation extends when the fire unit is rotated in the required direction, and one of the unit of fire and the support member includes projections which are formed in at least two positions in the direction in which the axis of rotation extends, and configured to allow the fire unit to be rotated in the direction required by being in contact with the other of the fire unit and the support member.
    [0009] A concrete direction of the "required direction" is not particularly limited, and a vertical direction or a horizontal direction may for example be used.
    The "support member" is not limited to a particular member as long as it is configured to support the fire unit so that it can rotate in the required direction. For example, a support supported on a fire body or the fire body itself can be used.
    A specific method of "fixing" the fire unit on the support member is not particularly limited, and a screw fastener, a press assembly, or a fastening engagement may for example to be used.
    [0012] Chague "projection" is not particularly limited in terms of, for example, specific shape or position as long as the protrusion allows the fire unit to be rotated in the required direction.
    The vehicle light according to the present invention can achieve the effects described below because the fire unit rotatably supported in the required direction relative to the support member is fixed on the support member in at least one position in the direction in which the axis of rotation extends, and one of the fire unit and the support member includes projections which are formed in at least two positions in the direction in which the axis of rotation extends, and configured to allow the fire unit to be rotated in the required direction by being in contact with the other of the fire unit and the fire element. support.
    That is to say, by forming the projections in at least two positions in the direction where the axis of rotation extends, even with a simplified configuration in which the fire unit is fixed on the In at least one position, the projection engaging portions may function as pivot points when the fire unit is rotated, and the fire unit can therefore be rotated in the required direction.
    As described above, according to the present invention, in the vehicle light comprising the support member for supporting the fire unit so as to be rotatable in the required direction, the unit of Fire can be turned in the required direction with a simplified configuration. The cost of the vehicle fire can therefore be reduced.
    In the above configuration, when the element among the fire unit and the support member comprises an insertion hole which is formed in at least one position in the direction in which the axis of rotation extends to insert a fastener therethrough, and the projections are respectively formed on opposite sides of each insertion hole in the direction in which the axis of rotation extends, the repulsion force which acts upon attachment of each fastener may be well balanced by the pair of projections on opposite sides of each insertion hole.
    In the above configuration, when each projection is formed in a substantially semi-spherical shape, or a substantially semi-cylindrical projection extending in the direction in which the axis of rotation extends, the portions of protrusion contact may function as pivot points when the fire unit is rotated, and each protrusion may have a sufficient repulsive force support function when the fastener is attached.
    In the above configuration, when the fastener is a screw, on which a washer is mounted, and the washer is configured to be elastically deformable. in a direction in which the corresponding fastening element is fixed, even if the positional relationship between each screw and the fire unit or the support member, which comes into contact with the respective projection, varies by a certain depending on the rotation of the fire unit, the variation can be easily absorbed by the elastic deformation of the washer. Therefore, it is possible to prevent excessive force from being applied to the fire unit or the support member.
    For example, a wavy washer or a spring washer can be used as a "washer".
    In the above configuration, when the support member is a support supported so as to be pivotally rotatable relative to a fire body, and a plurality of fire units is supported on the support, the following operational effects can be achieved.
    That is to say that, by configuring the support element in the form of a support rotatably supported relative to the fire body, the optical axes of the fire units can be adjusted in accordance with FIG. same time. Therefore, a required amount of rotation of each fire unit in the required direction can be reduced to a relatively small amount to correct a difference between the optical axes of the respective fire units. Therefore, each fire unit in the required direction can be rotated more easily even with a simplified configuration.
    In addition, when the vehicle light comprises the plurality of fire units, each fire unit can be relatively light. Therefore, each fire unit can be easily rotated in the required direction even with a simplified configuration, and the cost of the vehicle fire can thus be further reduced.

    The three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C are all fire units of the projector type. Although the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C have different light distribution control aspects, the basic configurations thereof are the same.
    Therefore, a detailed configuration will be described hereinafter about the fire unit 20A located at the right end.
    Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line II-II of Figure 1.
    As illustrated in FIG. 2, the fire unit 20A comprises a projection lens 22 having an optical axis Ax extending in the vehicle length direction, a light emitting element 24 as a light source located on the rear side of a rear-side focal point F of the projection lens 22, and a reflector 26 arranged to cover the light-emitting element 24 from its upper side and configured to reflect light from the corresponding light-emitting element 24 towards the projection lens 22.
    The light emitting element 24 and the reflector 26 are supported on a base member 30, and the projection lens 22 is supported on the base member 30 via a lens holder. 28.
    The base member 30 is formed with an upwardly reflective surface 30a that reflects upwardly a portion of light reflected by the reflector 26 to be incident on the projection lens 22 to form a cut-off line. 'a low beam light distribution pattern. The front end edge 30a of the upwardly reflective surface 30a is formed to extend from the backside focal point F to the left and right sides.
    The base member 30 is formed with a plurality of radiation fins 30b on its lower surface. Therefore, the base member 30 functions as a radiator.
    A support panel 32 is attached to the rear end surface of the base member 30 to extend along a vertical plane which is perpendicular to the optical axis Ax. The fire unit 20A is supported on the support 40 in three positions of the support panel 32.
    In addition, as shown in Figure 2, the base end of the pivot 42 is fixed on the fire body 12, and the end end of the pivot 42 is engaged with a spherical bearing 6 mounted on the In addition, the base end of the orientation screw 44 is rotatably supported on the fire body 12, and an orientation nut 48 mounted on the support 40a is screwed onto the terminal end of the housing. the orientation screw 44.
    Figure 3 is a sectional view along the line III-III of Figure 1. In addition, Figure 4 is a sectional view along the line IV-IV of Figure 3. In addition, Figure 5 is a perspective view illustrating the main components of the support 40.
    As illustrated in FIG. 3, the support panel 32 is fixed on the support 40 by a screw fastener in two positions (designated A and B in FIG. 1) above the optical axis. Ax and in the direction where the axis of rotation Axl extends.
    A washer 52 is mounted on a screw 50 used for the screw fastener is elastically deformable in the screw fastening direction of the screw 50. The washer 52 takes the form of a corrugated washer having the shapes of wave which are formed repeatedly around its entire periphery.
    As shown in Figure 4, the screw 50 takes the form of a stepped screw in which a portion between a screw portion 50a and a head portion 50b takes the form of a large diameter portion 50c having a larger diameter than the screw portion 50a. The large diameter portion 50c of the screw 50 is provided with a plurality of wedge-shaped projections 50d to prevent separation of the washer 52 mounted on the corresponding large-diameter portion 50c.
    As illustrated in Figure 3, the support 40 is provided with sleeves 40b in two positions in the direction where the axis of rotation Axl extends. The sleeves 40b are formed to protrude to the rear side of the support 40, and the inner diameter of the sleeves 40b is provided to be slightly larger than the large diameter portion 50c of the screw 50. In addition, an inner circumferential surface of the sleeve 40b forms an insertion hole 40a for inserting the screw 50 therethrough.
    In addition, the support 40 is provided, in four positions in the direction where the axis of rotation Axl extends, projections 40c, which come into contact with the support panel 32, thereby allowing the 20A fire unit to be turned in the vertical direction. The four projections 40c are formed such that a pair of projections 40c are respectively in the vicinity of opposite sides of each insertion hole 40a in the direction in which the axis of rotation Axl extends. The respective protrusions 40c have an approximately semi-spherical shape and are formed in the same size.
    The support panel 32 is provided, in two positions in the direction where the axis of rotation Axl extends, boss parts 32a, in each of which the screw portion 50a of the screw 50 is screwed in order to fix the screw 50.
    As illustrated in Figure 4, a lug 32b is formed on the support panel 32 adjacent the top of each boss portion 32a to protrude to the rear side. In addition, a through hole 40d, which has a diameter slightly larger than the pin 32b, is formed in the support 40 near the top of each insertion hole 40a. When the fire unit 20Δ is assembled on the support 40, by inserting each pin 32b in one of the through holes 40d, the support panel 32 comes into contact with each projection 40c of the support 40 in a state where the support panel 32 is temporarily positioned in the vertical plane relative to the support 40. Therefore, the screw fixing operation of each screw 50 can be easily performed.
    Furthermore, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, a set screw 54 configured to rotate the fire unit 20A with respect to the support 40 in the vertical direction about the axis of rotation Axl is located below the optical axis Ax (the position of the adjusting screw 54 which is designated C in Figure 1).
    The base end of the adjusting screw 54 is rotatably supported on the support 40, and the end end of the adjusting screw 54 is screwingly connected to the adjusting nut 56 mounted on the support panel 32.
    In addition, the portion of the support 40 which supports the base end of the adjusting screw 54 is moved to the rear side of the portion of the support 40 on which the sleeve 40b is formed. As shown in Fig. 5, the portion moved to the back side is formed with an insertion hole 40e to insert the adjusting screw 54 therethrough.
    FIGS. 6A to 6D are views each illustrating a light distribution pattern formed by light irradiated by vehicle light 10.
    FIG. 6A is a perspective view illustrating a passing beam light distribution pattern PL formed on a virtual vertical screen which is located about 25 m in front of the vehicle by light emitted by the vehicle light. .
    The passing light light distribution model PL is a dipped beam light distribution model for light distribution on the left side, and has unequal left and right cut lines CL1 and CL2 on its edges. upper end. Clipping lines CL1 and CL2 extend horizontally with a stepped difference about the V-V line which passes vertically through an H-V extinction point in the forward direction of the light. The opposite lane side portion on the right side of the VV line is formed as a lower end cut line CL1, and a vehicle lane side portion on the left side of the VV line is formed as a line CL2 upper end cutoff, which is stepped upwardly with respect to the bottom end cut line CLl through a slope.
    In the passing light light distribution model PL, an inflection point E, which is a point of intersection of the lower end cut line CL1 and the line VV, is located below from the extinction point HV of about 0.5 to 0.6 °.
    The passing light light distribution model PL is formed as a combined light distribution model in which three light distribution patterns Pa, Pb and Pc, illustrated in FIGS. 6B, 6C and 6D, overlap. each other.
    The light distribution pattern Pa is a light distribution pattern formed by irradiated light from the fire unit 20A, the light distribution pattern Pb is formed by irradiated light from the fire unit 20B, and the light distribution pattern Pc is formed by irradiated light from the fire unit 20C.
    The respective light distribution patterns Pa, Pb and Pc are formed by projecting a light source image of the light emitting element 24, which is formed in a focal plane on the rear side of the light emitting lens. projection 22 by light irradiated by the light-emitting element 24 and reflected by the reflector 26, on the virtual vertical screen as a projection image inverted by the projection lens 22. The cleavage lines CL1 and CL2 are formed as an inverted projection image of the leading end edge 30a of the upwardly reflecting surface 30a of the base member 30.
    The light distribution pattern Pa is formed as a light distribution pattern which is smaller and brighter than the light distribution pattern Pb, and the light distribution pattern Pb is formed as a distribution pattern of light that is smaller and brighter than the Pc light distribution model. Such a difference in the light distribution patterns is achieved by differentiating the focal length of the projection lens 22 or the shape of a reflective surface of the reflector 26 among the respective fire units 20A, 20B and 20C.
    Moreover, the three light distribution models Pa, Pb and Pc are identical with respect to the shape of the cleavage lines CL1 and CL2. In addition, the three light distribution models Pa, Pb and Pc coincide with the cut lines CL1 and CL2 of the low beam light distribution model PL with respect to the vertical positions of the cut lines CL1 and CL2. As a result, the cut lines CL1 and CL2 of the passing beam light distribution pattern PL are clearly formed.
    In order to achieve this, the respective fire units 20A, 20B and 20C are appropriately turned in the vertical direction about their axis of rotation Axl when they are assembled on the support 40.
    In addition, when the support 40 is assembled on the fire body 12 once the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C are assembled on the support 40, the optical axes of the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C are collectively set by rotating the support 40 with respect to the fire body 12 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction by appropriate adjustment of the two orientation screws 44.
    The effects of the present exemplary embodiment will next be described.
    Because the vehicle light 10 according to the present exemplary embodiment has a configuration in which each of the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C, which are supported to be rotatable relative to the support 40 under the form of a support member in the vertical direction, is fixed on the support 40 in two positions in the vehicle width direction in which the axis of rotation Axl extends, and that the support 40 is provided, in four positions in the direction where the axis of rotation Axl extends, projections 40c for each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C, which come into contact with the support panel 32 of each fire unit 20A, 20B or 20C, thereby allowing each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C to rotate in the vertical direction, the following effects can be achieved.
    That is, by forming the projections 40c in four positions in the direction where the axis of rotation Axl extends, despite a simplified configuration in which each fire unit 20A, 20B , or 20C is fixed on the support 40 in two positions, contact portions of the four projections 40c can function as support points when each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C is turned, and therefore each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C can be rotated in the vertical direction.
    According to the present exemplary embodiment described above, in the vehicle light 10 comprising the support 40 for supporting the respective fire units 20A, 20B and 20C in order to be able to turn in the vertical direction, the respective fire units 20A, 20B and 20C can be rotated in the vertical direction with a simplified configuration. The cost of fire can therefore be reduced.
    At this time, in the present exemplary embodiment, since the support 40 is provided, in two positions in the direction where the axis of rotation Axl extends, of insertion holes. 40a for each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C, through which the screws 50 for a screw attachment (i.e., a fastener) are passed, and because the projections 40c are formed respectively on opposite sides of each insertion hole 40a in the direction in which the axis of rotation Axl extends, a repulsive force generated upon attachment of each screw 50 may be well balanced by the pair of projections 40c located respective manner on opposite sides of each insertion hole 40a.
    In the present exemplary embodiment, since each protrusion 40c is formed in an approximately semi-spherical shape, contact portions of the two pairs of right and left protrusions 40c with each support panel 32 may function as pivot points when each fire unit 2 OA, 20B, or 20C is rotated, and each pair of projections 40c may have sufficient repulsion force support function when the respective screws 50 are fixed.
    In the present exemplary embodiment, each screw 50 takes the form of a screw on which the washer 52 is mounted to be elastically deformable in the fastening direction of the screw 50. Thus, even if the relationship position between each screw 50 and the support panel 32 of each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C, which contacts each projection 40c varies in a certain way depending on the rotation of each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C, the variation can be absorbed easily and stably by the elastic deformation of the washer 52. Therefore, it is possible to prevent excessive force from being applied to each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C or the support 40.
    At this time, in the present exemplary embodiment, since the washer 52 is a corrugated washer, a variation in the positional relationship between the support panel 32 and each screw 50 can be absorbed. stably.
    Furthermore, in the present exemplary embodiment, since each screw 50 is a stepped screw having a function of preventing separation of the washer 52, the screw fixing work can be easily performed. .
    In the present exemplary embodiment, since the support 40 is rotatably supported with respect to the fire body 12, the adjustment of the optical axes of the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C can to be realized at the same time. Therefore, the amount of vertical rotation required for each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C can be reduced to a relatively small amount to correct an optical axis deviation among the respective fire units 20A, 20B, and 20C. Therefore, the rotation of each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C in the vertical direction can be performed more easily with a simplified configuration.
    In addition, because the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C are provided in the present embodiment, each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C may be relatively light. Therefore, each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C can be easily rotated in the vertical direction even with a simplified configuration, and the cost of the fire can thus be further reduced.
    Although it has been described in the exemplary embodiment that the support panel 32 of each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C is fixed on the support 40 via the screw fastener. the support panel 32 may be configured to be secured using other methods (eg, press fit or snap engagement).
    Although it has been described in the present exemplary embodiment that the four projections 40c are formed on the support 40 for each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C, the four projections 40c can be formed on the support panel 32 of each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C.
    Although it has been described in the exemplary embodiment that the vehicle fire 10 includes the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C, the vehicle fire 10 may include two or fewer fire units, or four or more fire units.
    Although it has been described in the exemplary embodiment that the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C are all supported so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction relative to the support 40, one of them can be fixed on the support 40, and the optical axes of the other two fire units can be adjusted on the basis of the optical axis of the fixed light unit.
    Although it has been described in the exemplary embodiment that the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C are all configured to form the light distribution models Pa, Pb and Pc, which have the same cut lines that the CL1 and CL2 break lines of the PL dipped beam light distribution pattern, some or all of the three fire units 20A, 20B and 20C can be configured to form a light distribution pattern for a high beam, or a light distribution model for a fog lamp.
    Although it has been described in the exemplary embodiment that each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C is a projector-type fire unit having the reflector 26, for example, fire unit type protector or a. parabolic fire unit not provided with reflector 26.

    Even in the case where a protrusion 240c is formed for each insertion hole 240a as in the present modification, the contact portions of the pair of left and right protrusions 140c with each support panel 32 may function as dots. pivoting when each fire unit 20A, 20B, or 20C is rotated.
    [0103] A third modification of the exemplary embodiment will next be described.
    FIG. 9 is approximately the same view as FIG. 5, illustrating the main components of the vehicle light according to the present modification.
    As illustrated in FIG. 9, the basic configuration of the present modification is the same as that of the exemplary embodiment. However, the present modification differs from the exemplary embodiment in terms of configuration for rotating the fire unit 20Δ relative to a support 340 in the vertical direction about the axis of rotation Axl.
    That is, in the present modification, a rearwardly extending hooking member 360 is attached to the rear surface of the support panel 32 of the fire unit. 20A, and the support 340 is provided with an engagement hole 34 Of which is engaged with the corresponding hooking element 360 in the state where the hooking element 360 is inserted into the engagement hole 340f .
    The hooking member 360 is attached to the support panel 32 in the position where the adjusting nut 56 of the exemplary embodiment is mounted. The engaging member 360 includes a flat base end 360A attached to the support panel 32 and a planar main body 360B extending rearward from the base end 360A along a vertical plane. A multi-stage engaging portion 360a is formed on the upper surface of the main body 360B. The multi-stage engaging portion 360a is formed by successively forming wedge-shaped ridges in the forward-and-backward direction.
    Furthermore, the engagement hole 340f formed in the support 340 has a vertical width that is slightly larger than a vertical width of the main body 360B, and a 340g engagement boss is formed on the surface of upper end of the engagement hole 340f. The engagement boss 340g is formed in a wedge shape in a cross section to protrude downward when viewed from a lateral side. In addition, the engagement boss 340g is engaged with the multi-stage engaging portion 360a of the hook member 360 in a state where the main body 360B of the hook member 360 is inserted through the 340f engagement hole 340f of the support 340. At this time, by appropriately adjusting the engaging position of the engagement boss 340g and the multi-stage engaging portion 360a back and forth, the unit 20A fire can be positioned in a state where it is turned in the vertical direction relative to the support 340 about the axis of rotation Axl.
    Using the configuration of the present modification, a simplified configuration in which the hooking member 360 is only used in place of the adjusting screw 54 and the adjusting nut 56 of the embodiment of FIG. example can be obtained, and the cost can accordingly be reduced.
    A fourth modification of the exemplary embodiment will next be described.
    FIG. 10 is the same view as FIG. 3, illustrating the main components of the vehicle light according to the present modification.
    As illustrated in FIG. 10, the basic configuration of the present modification is the same as that of the exemplary embodiment. However, this modification differs from the exemplary embodiment in terms of the support structure of a support panel 432 with respect to a support 440.
    That is to say, in the present modification, the support panel 432 of the fire unit 20A is fixed on the support 440 by means of a screw fastener in a position on the axis of rotation Axl, which is just above the Ax axis.
    In this screw attachment, the screw 50, which is mounted with a washer 52 formed as a wave washer, is used as in the exemplary embodiment.
    [0115] Even in the present modification, the support 440 is provided with a sleeve 440b having an insertion hole 440a, and the support panel 432 is provided with a boss portion 432a for securing the screw 50.
    In addition, the support 440 is provided, in two positions in the vehicle width direction in which the axis of rotation Axl extends, projections 44 0c, which come into contact with the support panel 432, thereby allowing the fire unit 20A to be rotated in the vertical direction. The two projections 440c are disposed in a horizontally symmetrical positional relationship at opposite sides of the insertion hole 440a in the direction in which the axis of rotation Axl extends. The respective projections 440c are formed in an approximately semi-spherical shape and in the same size.
    In addition, even in the present modification, the adjusting screw 54 and the adjusting nut 56, which serve to rotate the fire unit 20A relative to the support 440 in the vertical direction about the axis Axl rotation, are below the axis axis Ax.
    Even in the case where the configuration of the present modification is used, the contact portions of the two projections 440c can function as pivot points when the fire unit 20A is rotated, and the fire unit 20A can so be turned in the vertical direction.
    Furthermore, in the present modification, the effects described above can be acquired by a very simplified configuration in which the fire unit 20A is fixed on the support 440 in a position in the direction where the axis of Axl rotation extends.
    In addition, numerical values described as features in the exemplary embodiment and modifications thereof are merely given by way of example, and these numerical values can of course be set to different appropriate values.
    From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that various embodiments of the present invention have been described herein for purposes of illustration, and that various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. . Therefore, the various embodiments disclosed herein are not intended for limiting purposes.
