Abstract

An aircraft lamp includes: a lamp outer case constituted by a lamp housing having an opening and a cover mounted to the lamp housing in a state where the opening is closed, an internal space being formed in the lamp outer case as an arrangement space; a light source including a light emitting diode and arranged on an arrangement surface inclined with respect to a predetermined surface to be irradiated in the arrangement space; and an inner lens arranged in the arrangement space and including a control lens configured to control an irradiation direction of light emitted from the light source. The control lens is formed in a shape having a longitudinal direction and a width direction, and the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the control lens are rotated in a direction around a light source optical axis with respect to a vertical direction and a left-right direction.

Claims (20)

1. An aircraft lamp comprising:

a lamp housing having an opening and a cover mounted to the lamp housing in a state where the opening is closed, an arrangement space being formed in the lamp outer case;

a light source including a light emitting diode and mounted on an inclined surface of the lamp housing, the inclined surface being inclined with respect to a bottom surface of the lamp housing; and

an inner lens including a mounted plate mounted on the inclined surface of the lamp housing and arranged in the arrangement space, the mounted plate including an integrally formed control lens configured to control an irradiation direction of light emitted from the light source,

wherein the control lens is formed in an elliptical shape having a center, a long axis and a short axis, a light source optical axis of the light source passes through center of the control lens, and the long axis and the short axis of the control lens are rotatably offset around the light source optical axis with respect to a vertical axis and a horizontal axis of the inner lens.

2. The aircraft lamp according to claim 1 , wherein a light distribution pattern of the light emitted from the light source is formed in a substantially elliptical shape.

3. The aircraft lamp according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of light sources is provided,

a plurality of control lenses is provided in the mounted plate in the same number as the light sources, and

the irradiation direction of the light emitted from each of the plurality of light sources is controlled by each of the plurality of control lenses.

4. The aircraft lamp according to claim 2 , wherein a plurality of light sources is provided,

a plurality of control lenses is provided in the mounted plate in the same number as the light sources, and

the irradiation direction of the light emitted from each of the plurality of light sources is controlled by each of the plurality of control lenses.

5. The aircraft lamp according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of control lenses are provided side by side in the mounted plate, and

portions of the control lenses adjacent to each other are overlapped with each other.

6. The aircraft lamp according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of control lenses are provided side by side in the mounted plate, and

portions of the control lenses adjacent to each other is overlapped with each other.

7. The aircraft lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the lamp housing is mounted to a bottom surface of a mounting plate having an arrangement hole formed therein and at least a portion of the cover is flush with a top surface of the mounting plate.

8. The aircraft lamp according to claim 2 , wherein the lamp housing is mounted to a bottom surface of a mounting plate having an arrangement hole formed therein and at least a portion of the cover is flush with a top surface of the mounting plate.

9. The aircraft lamp according to claim 3 , wherein the lamp housing is mounted to a bottom surface of a mounting plate having an arrangement hole formed therein and at least a portion of the cover is flush with a top surface of the mounting plate.

10. The aircraft lamp according to claim 4 , wherein the lamp housing is mounted to a bottom surface of a mounting plate having an arrangement hole formed therein and at least a portion of the cover is flush with a top surface of the mounting plate.
