Lamp and lamp assembly for vehicle
Disclosed are a lamp for a vehicle, and a lamp assembly for a vehicle. The lamp for a vehicle includes a first light source that emits a first light along a first direction that is perpendicular to an upward/downward direction, a refractor that refracts the first light emitted from the first light source, a second light source that emits a second light toward the refractor along a second direction that crosses the first direction, and a third light source disposed adjacent to the second light source, and that emits a third light toward the refractor along the second direction.
1 . A lamp for a vehicle comprising:
a first light source configured to emit a first light along a first direction perpendicular to an upward/downward direction;
a refractor configured to refract the first light emitted from the first light source;
a second light source configured to emit a second light toward the refractor along a second direction intersecting the first direction; and
a third light source disposed adjacent to the second light source and configured to emit a third light toward the refractor along the second direction;
wherein the refractor includes:
a first input area to which the first light is input; and
a first shield area configured to interrupt a portion of the first light passing through the first input area,
the lamp further comprising a collimator between the refractor and the second and third light sources, and
wherein the collimator extends toward the refractor, the collimator comprising a shape having two arcs, wherein the two arcs share a common string aligned vertically.
2 . The lamp of claim 1 , wherein:
the second light source and the third light source are arranged along a third direction perpendicular to the first direction.
3 . The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the collimator further comprises:
a second collimator disposed in the second direction of the second light source and configured to collimate the second light; and
a third collimator disposed in the second direction of the third light source and configured to collimate the third light.
4 . The lamp of claim 3 , wherein the second collimator and the third collimator have symmetrical shapes.
5 . The lamp of claim 4 , wherein the second collimator has an arc shape of which a central angle is 180 degrees or more when viewed along the second direction, and a string of the arc shape has a shape that extends in a direction that is perpendicular to the second direction and the third direction.
6 . The lamp of claim 5 , wherein the second collimator is formed to be convex along a direction opposite to the second direction.
7 . The lamp of claim 3 , further comprising:
a coupling part with which the second collimator and the third collimator are coupled to each other, and
wherein an overlapping junction at which the second collimator and the third collimator overlap each other is disposed at a central portion of the coupling part.
8 . The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the refractor further includes:
a second input area to which the second light and the third light are input; and
an output area from which the first to third lights are output;
wherein the second input area is formed between the first input area and the output area.
9 . The lamp of claim 8 , wherein the refractor further includes
a second shield area configured to interrupt a portion of the second light and a portion of the third light passing through the second input area.
10 . The lamp of claim 1 , wherein:
the collimator is spaced apart from the first input area along the first direction.
11 . The lamp of claim 1 , further comprising another collimator to collimate the first light.
12 . A lamp for a vehicle comprising:
a first light source configured to emit a first light along a first direction perpendicular to an upward/downward direction;
a refractor configured to refract the first light emitted from the first light source;
a second light source configured to emit a second light toward the refractor along a second direction intersecting the first direction; and
a third light source disposed adjacent to the second light source and configured to emit a third light toward the refractor along the second direction;
wherein the refractor includes:
a first input area to which the first light is input; and
a first shield area configured to interrupt a portion of the first light passing through the first input area,
wherein the second light source and the third light source are disposed on a lower side of the first shield area; and
further comprising a collimator between the refractor and the second and third light sources, the collimator comprising a shape having two arcs, wherein the two arcs share a common string aligned vertically;
wherein the collimator comprises two convex portions extending toward the refractor.
13 . The lamp of claim 11 , wherein the collimator comprises two parts held together by a coupling part.
14 . The lamp of claim 12 , wherein a junction, where the two parts of the collimator interface, is located at a central portion of the coupling part.
15 . The lamp of claim 1 , wherein:
a headlight of the vehicle comprises the first light source;
a daytime light of the vehicle comprises the second light source; and
a blinker of the vehicle comprises the third light source.
16 . The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the first shield area comprises an edge of the refractor that extends into the first light to interrupt the said portion thereof.
17 . The lamp of claim 1 , wherein the second and third light sources are disposed in a cavity within the refractor adjacent to the first shield area.
