Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔技術分野〕 本発明は、例えば複数の配光パターンを選択的にあるい

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a lighting device in which, for example, a plurality of light distribution patterns can be changed selectively or continuously by manual or remote control.

〔背景技術〕[Background technology]

複数の配光パターンを切替えることのできる照明装置と
しては、例えば自動車のヘッドライトなどに見られるが
、これは2つの光源と、それぞれの光源に対応して設け
られた反射鏡とにより異なる配光パターンを持たせるも
ので、配光の切替えは光源を選択することによ“るもの
でゐり。
An example of a lighting device that can switch between multiple light distribution patterns can be found in car headlights, which use two light sources and reflectors installed to correspond to each light source to create different light distribution patterns. It has a pattern, and the light distribution can be changed by selecting the light source.

ところが、かかる照明装置に#いては、配光パターンの
数だけ光源を必要とするので、配光パターンの数を増や
すと不経済であり、使用の仕方によってはそれぞれの光

である。また、当然ながら複数の配光パターンからの選
択であって、中間的な配光パターンが得られないといっ
た欠点がある。
However, such a lighting device requires as many light sources as there are light distribution patterns, so increasing the number of light distribution patterns is uneconomical, and depending on how it is used, the difference in the lifespan of each light source may increase. This causes troublesome maintenance and replacement work for the light source. Furthermore, as a matter of course, selection is made from a plurality of light distribution patterns, and there is a drawback that an intermediate light distribution pattern cannot be obtained.

Further, as a different lighting device, there is a type that has one light source and moves a reflector, louver, etc. that corresponds to the light source. Such lighting devices do not have the problems mentioned above,
It is also possible to change the light distribution pattern continuously within the movable range, but the light control means such as the reflector and louver are large and the mechanism that moves them is not sturdy. However, it becomes expensive. Furthermore, if the light distribution pattern is to be controlled automatically or remotely rather than manually, the driving device must be large.

〔発明の目的〕[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide an illumination device that is small in size and inexpensive, and in which illumination characteristics such as a light distribution pattern can be easily changed.

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a condensing type incandescent lamp, in which a filament 3 is disposed approximately at the center of the pulp 2, and a bulb 2 is provided with a filament 3. A reflective film 4 is formed on a portion of the inner surface, and light is irradiated from the window 5 where the reflective film 4 is not formed. Reference numeral 7 denotes a condenser lens placed in front of the window 5 of the incandescent lamp 1, so that the light condensed by the lens 7 is focused near a small movable mirror 8 placed behind the lens 7. It is located in 9
is a reflecting plate formed into a desired curved surface, and is a mirror 8
The design is such that the light reflected by the beam enters a part of it, and the light that is further reflected there illuminates the intended target.

The movable mirror 8 is configured to be rotatable around an axis 10, and when the angle is as shown in FIG. The curvature of the reflecting plate 9 is large, and the received light is focused in a nearly parallel shape and illuminates the front surface. When the movable mirror 8 is moved to the angle shown in FIG.
Since it is formed from a flat plate into a slightly convex shape, the reflected light spreads forward.

In this way, by slightly rotating the movable mirror 8, the light from the light source 1 is applied to different curvature portions of the curved reflector 9, thereby making it possible to continuously change the spread angle of the forward light. be.

In the above embodiment, the reflecting plate 9 having partially different curvatures was used as the light control means selected by the movable mirror 8.
This may be a double-acting reflector with different focal points. In that case, the change in light distribution will be gradual.

Further, the light control means may be a prism panel, a diffuser plate, or a looper-shaped device having different transmission characteristics. Furthermore, variable color can also be achieved by including optical filters in the selected path. Also, small size is possible! The v1 machine m may be of any type, and may be moved manually or by a motor. and,
Since the movable mechanism is extremely small and lightweight, it can be easily realized with a simple @ structure using electromagnetism.

As described above, the present invention focuses light condensed by a condensing system such as a condensing lens on a movable mirror, and by moving the movable mirror, the illumination characteristics such as the light distribution pattern and color tone are controlled by the light control means. can be changed selectively or continuously, so when changing the desired illumination characteristics, the only movable part is the movable mirror, and since the movable mirror controls the focused light, its configuration is simple and small. Furthermore, since the energy required to move the movable mirror is small, it has the additional effect of allowing the illumination characteristics to be changed at the same speed, especially when automated.
