上記のように構成された第1のユニット6において、シェード12と基板14が制御レンズ13に対して光軸方向に直交する方向において位置決めされる。
In the first unit 6 configured as described above, the shade 12 and the substrate 14 are positioned with respect to the control lens 13 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction.
シェード12の制御レンズ13に対する位置決めはシェード12の位置決め突部16が制御レンズ13の位置決め孔19に前側から挿入されることにより行われ、基板14の制御レンズ13に対する位置決めは制御レンズ13の位置合わせ突部18が基板14の位置合わせ孔22に前側から挿入されることにより行われる。従って、第1のユニット6においては、制御レンズ13を基準としてシェード12と基板14の光軸方向に直交する方向における位置決めが行われる。
The positioning of the shade 12 with respect to the control lens 13 is performed by inserting the positioning protrusion 16 of the shade 12 into the positioning hole 19 of the control lens 13 from the front side, and the positioning of the substrate 14 with respect to the control lens 13 is performed by aligning the control lens 13. This is done by inserting the protrusion 18 into the alignment hole 22 of the substrate 14 from the front side. Therefore, in the first unit 6, positioning of the shade 12 and the substrate 14 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction is performed using the control lens 13 as a reference.
上記のように位置決めされた第1のユニット6は、制御レンズ13の位置合わせ突部18がヒートシンク5の第1の挿入孔8bに挿入され、第1の取付ネジ50によってヒートシンク5に取り付けられる(図2乃至図4参照)。第1のユニット6がヒートシンク5に取り付けられるときには、制御レンズ13の押付部21によって基板14が前側から押さえられて基板14がヒートシンク5の取付面10に押し付けられ、シェード12の第1の押さえ部17によって制御レンズ13が前側から押さえられて押付部21が基板14に押し付けられる(図4参照)。このとき、シェード12の第1のネジ止め部15は制御レンズ13の挿通用切欠13bを通り基板14のネジ用孔23が形成された部分に対向して位置され、第1のネジ止め部15の先端面と基板14の前面との間に隙間H1が生じた状態にされる。また、このとき制御レンズ13の対向面13cと取付面10の間には隙間H2が生じた状態にされている。
The first unit 6 positioned as described above is attached to the heat sink 5 by the first mounting screw 50 with the alignment protrusion 18 of the control lens 13 inserted into the first insertion hole 8b of the heat sink 5 ( (See Figures 2 to 4). When the first unit 6 is attached to the heat sink 5 , the substrate 14 is pressed from the front side by the pressing portion 21 of the control lens 13 and the substrate 14 is pressed against the mounting surface 10 of the heat sink 5 . 17 presses the control lens 13 from the front side and presses the pressing portion 21 against the substrate 14 (see FIG. 4). At this time, the first screwed part 15 of the shade 12 is positioned opposite to the part of the board 14 where the screw hole 23 is formed through the insertion notch 13b of the control lens 13. A gap H1 is created between the front end surface of the substrate 14 and the front surface of the substrate 14. Further, at this time, a gap H2 is created between the opposing surface 13c of the control lens 13 and the mounting surface 10.
第1のネジ止め部15と基板14の間に隙間H1が生じ対向面13cと取付面10の間に隙間H2が生じた状態において、第1の取付ネジ50が作業面11側(後側)からヒートシンク5の第1のネジ挿通孔8aと基板14のネジ用孔23とに挿通され第1のネジ止め部15の螺溝15aに螺合され、第1のユニット6がヒートシンク5に取り付けられる。尚、車輌用灯具1においては、第1の取付ネジ50としてタッピングネジが用いられ、第1のネジ止め部15として螺溝が形成されていないネジ止め部が設けられ、第1の取付ネジ50がネジ止め部にタッピングされてもよい。
In a state where a gap H1 is created between the first screw fixing part 15 and the board 14 and a gap H2 is created between the opposing surface 13c and the mounting surface 10, the first mounting screw 50 is attached to the work surface 11 side (rear side). The first unit 6 is inserted into the first screw insertion hole 8a of the heat sink 5 and the screw hole 23 of the board 14 and screwed into the thread groove 15a of the first screw fixing part 15, so that the first unit 6 is attached to the heat sink 5. . In the vehicular lamp 1, a tapping screw is used as the first mounting screw 50, a screw fastening part without a thread groove is provided as the first screw fastening part 15, and the first mounting screw 50 is a self-tapping screw. may be tapped into the screwed part.
このように第1のネジ止め部15と基板14の間に隙間H1が生じた状態で第1の取付ネジ50が螺溝15aに螺合されるため、シェード12の第1の押さえ部17が制御レンズ13に確実に押し付けられる。また、対向面13cと取付面10の間に隙間H2が生じた状態で第1の取付ネジ50が螺溝15aに螺合されるため、制御レンズ13の押付部21が基板14に確実に押し付けられ基板14がヒートシンク5の取付面10に確実に押し付けられる。
Since the first mounting screw 50 is screwed into the threaded groove 15a with the gap H1 created between the first screwed part 15 and the board 14 in this way, the first holding part 17 of the shade 12 is It is reliably pressed against the control lens 13. Furthermore, since the first mounting screw 50 is screwed into the threaded groove 15a with a gap H2 created between the opposing surface 13c and the mounting surface 10, the pressing portion 21 of the control lens 13 is reliably pressed against the substrate 14. The substrate 14 is reliably pressed against the mounting surface 10 of the heat sink 5.
従って、シェード12と制御レンズ13と基板14の間の光軸方向における高い位置精度が確保される。
Therefore, high positional accuracy in the optical axis direction between the shade 12, control lens 13, and substrate 14 is ensured.
尚、基板14は熱伝導性と絶縁性を有するシート、例えば、接着シートによってヒートシンク5の取付面10に貼り付けられていてもよい。基板14が熱伝導性を有するシートによってヒートシンク5に貼り付けられることにより、光源24の点灯時に発生する熱が効率的にヒートシンク5に伝達されて外部に放出され、光源24と基板14の温度上昇を抑制して光源24と基板14の良好な動作状態を確保することができる。
Note that the substrate 14 may be attached to the mounting surface 10 of the heat sink 5 using a sheet having thermal conductivity and insulation properties, for example, an adhesive sheet. Since the substrate 14 is attached to the heat sink 5 with a thermally conductive sheet, the heat generated when the light source 24 is turned on is efficiently transferred to the heat sink 5 and released to the outside, thereby increasing the temperature of the light source 24 and the substrate 14. It is possible to suppress this and ensure good operating conditions of the light source 24 and the substrate 14.
また、第2のユニット7の投影レンズ26は第1のユニット6の制御レンズ13に対して光軸方向に直交する方向において位置決めされる。
Furthermore, the projection lens 26 of the second unit 7 is positioned with respect to the control lens 13 of the first unit 6 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction.
投影レンズ26の制御レンズ13に対する位置決めは投影レンズ26の位置決めピン32がシェード12の逃げ切欠12bを通って制御レンズ13の位置保持孔20に前側から挿入されることにより行われる。従って、車輌用灯具1においては、制御レンズ13を基準としてシェード12と基板14に加え投影レンズ26の光軸方向に直交する方向における位置決めも行われる。
The positioning of the projection lens 26 with respect to the control lens 13 is performed by inserting the positioning pin 32 of the projection lens 26 into the position holding hole 20 of the control lens 13 from the front through the relief notch 12b of the shade 12. Therefore, in the vehicular lamp 1, positioning of the shade 12 and the substrate 14 as well as the projection lens 26 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction is performed using the control lens 13 as a reference.
上記のように位置決めされた投影レンズ26は、位置決めピン32がヒートシンク5の第2の挿入孔8dに挿入され、レンズ部30がレンズホルダー25の挿入配置孔25aに後側から挿入されて配置され、レンズホルダー25とともに第2の取付ネジ60によってヒートシンク5に取り付けられる(図2、図3及び図5参照)。第2のユニット7のレンズホルダー25と投影レンズ26がヒートシンク5に取り付けられるときには、レンズホルダー25の挿入ピン28がヒートシンク5の第3の挿入孔8eに挿入された状態においてレンズホルダー25の第2の押さえ部29によって投影レンズ26が前側から押さえられて押当突部33がヒートシンク5の取付面10に押し当てられる(図5参照)。このとき、レンズホルダー25の第2のネジ止め部27がヒートシンク5の第2のネジ挿通孔8cが形成された部分に対向して位置され、第2のネジ止め部27の先端面とヒートシンク5の取付面10との間に隙間H3が生じた状態にされる。
The projection lens 26 positioned as described above is arranged by inserting the positioning pin 32 into the second insertion hole 8d of the heat sink 5, and inserting the lens part 30 into the insertion hole 25a of the lens holder 25 from the rear side. , is attached to the heat sink 5 together with the lens holder 25 by a second attachment screw 60 (see FIGS. 2, 3, and 5). When the lens holder 25 and the projection lens 26 of the second unit 7 are attached to the heat sink 5, the insertion pin 28 of the lens holder 25 is inserted into the third insertion hole 8e of the heat sink 5, and the second The projection lens 26 is pressed from the front side by the holding part 29, and the pressing protrusion 33 is pressed against the mounting surface 10 of the heat sink 5 (see FIG. 5). At this time, the second screw fixing part 27 of the lens holder 25 is positioned opposite to the part of the heat sink 5 in which the second screw insertion hole 8c is formed, and the tip surface of the second screw fixing part 27 and the heat sink 5 A gap H3 is created between the mounting surface 10 and the mounting surface 10.
第2のネジ止め部27とヒートシンク5の間に隙間H3が生じた状態において、第2の取付ネジ60が作業面11側(後側)からヒートシンク5の第2のネジ挿通孔8cに挿通され第2のネジ止め部27の螺溝27aに螺合され、第2のユニット7がヒートシンク5に取り付けられる。尚、車輌用灯具1においては、第2の取付ネジ60としてタッピングネジが用いられ、第2のネジ止め部27として螺溝が形成されていないネジ止め部が設けられ、第2の取付ネジ60がネジ止め部にタッピングされてもよい。
With a gap H3 created between the second screw fixing part 27 and the heat sink 5, the second mounting screw 60 is inserted into the second screw insertion hole 8c of the heat sink 5 from the work surface 11 side (rear side). The second unit 7 is attached to the heat sink 5 by being screwed into the threaded groove 27a of the second screw portion 27. In the vehicle lamp 1, a tapping screw is used as the second mounting screw 60, a screw fastening part without a thread groove is provided as the second screw fastening part 27, and the second mounting screw 60 is a self-tapping screw. may be tapped into the screwed part.
このように第2のネジ止め部27とヒートシンク5の間に隙間H3が生じた状態で第2の取付ネジ60が螺溝27aに螺合されるため、レンズホルダー25の第2の押さえ部29が投影レンズ26に確実に押し付けられる。従って、レンズホルダー25と投影レンズ26とヒートシンク5の間の光軸方向における高い位置精度が確保される。
Since the second mounting screw 60 is screwed into the threaded groove 27a with the gap H3 created between the second screw fixing part 27 and the heat sink 5, the second holding part 29 of the lens holder 25 is reliably pressed against the projection lens 26. Therefore, high positional accuracy in the optical axis direction between the lens holder 25, the projection lens 26, and the heat sink 5 is ensured.
上記のように構成された車輌用灯具1において、光源24から出射された光は制御レンズ13の制御部13aによって制御され投影レンズ26のレンズ部30によって平行光になるように制御されてカバー3を透過され外部へ向けて照射される。このとき光の一部がシェード12によって遮蔽され、適正な配光パターンで外部へ向けて照射される。
