Abstract
A vehicle headlamp includes a projection lens, a first lens, a second lens, a first light source, and a second light source. The first lens and the second lens are disposed behind the projection lens. The first light source is disposed behind the first lens. The second light source is disposed behind the second lens. The first lens and the second lens are disposed so as to deviate from an optical axis of the projection lens and to be opposite to each other.
Claims10
A vehicle headlamp that is capable of performing irradiation by switching low beam irradiation and high beam irradiation, the vehicle headlamp comprising:
- a projection lens;
- a first lens and a second lens that are disposed behind the projection lens;
- a first light source that is disposed behind the first lens;
- and
- a second light source that is disposed behind the second lens,
- wherein the first lens and the second lens are disposed so as to deviate from an optical axis of the projection lens and to be opposite to each other,
- wherein the first lens includes,
- a first irradiation port that is opposite to an entrance surface of the projection lens,
- a first entrance surface that is opposite to the first light source and guides light from the first light source to the first irradiation port,
- a second entrance surface that is disposed adjacent to the first entrance surface and guides light failed to pass through the first entrance surface in a direction toward a sidewall of the first lens,
- a first reflection surface that reflects light entering from the second entrance surface and guides the light to the first irradiation port, and
- a second reflection surface that reflects light passed through the first entrance surface and deflected from a direction toward the first irradiation port and light reflected from the first reflection surface and deflected from a direction toward the first irradiation port, and guides the light to the first irradiation port, and
- wherein the second lens includes,
- a second irradiation port that is opposite to the entrance surface of the projection lens,
- a third entrance surface that is opposite to the second light source and guides light from the second light source to the second irradiation port,
- a fourth entrance surface that is disposed adjacent to the third entrance surface and guides light failed to pass through the third entrance surface in a direction toward a sidewall of the second lens,
- a third reflection surface that reflects light entering from the fourth entrance surface and guides the light to the second irradiation port, and
- a fourth reflection surface that reflects light passed through the third entrance surface and deflected from a direction toward the second irradiation port and light reflected from the third reflection surface and deflected from a direction toward the second irradiation port, and guides the light to the second irradiation port.
