以下、図面を参照して、本発明を実施するための形態を説明する。本発明は敷設された軌条に沿って走行する軌条車両に備えられる前照灯に係るものである。軌条車両には、鉄道車両、路面電車、モノレール車両、新交通システム車両などがあり、以下に説明する実施の形態では、軌条車両の代表として鉄道車両を例に挙げて説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention relates to a headlamp provided in a rail vehicle that travels along a laid rail. Rail vehicles include railcars, streetcars, monorail vehicles, new transportation system vehicles, and the like. In the embodiments described below, railcars will be described as examples of rail vehicles.

図1は、鉄道車両10に備えられる前照灯の一例を示す正面図である。鉄道車両10の先頭車の正面には、運転手が常務する乗務員室が備えられており、窓、ワイパー、貫通扉などが備えられる。線路(軌条)に沿って、乗客等の乗降に供されるホーム、分岐器、踏切、信号および給電設備などの各種施設が配置されるとともに、これらの施設において係員が作業をしている。これら係員が鉄道車両10の接近や遠ざかりを容易に認識できるように、鉄道車両10の最前部と最後部の正面には前部標識として前照灯1、後部標識として尾灯2が備えられる。   FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a headlamp provided in the railway vehicle 10. In front of the leading car of the railway vehicle 10, a crew room where a driver is in charge is provided, and windows, wipers, through doors, and the like are provided. Along the tracks (rails), various facilities such as a platform, a branching device, a railroad crossing, a signal, and a power feeding facility are provided for passengers to get on and off, and staff members are working in these facilities. The front lamp 1 is provided as a front sign and the tail lamp 2 is provided as a rear sign on the front of the foremost part and the rearmost part of the railway car 10 so that these staff members can easily recognize the approach and distance of the railway car 10.

鉄道車両10の場合、線路に沿って進行するため進行方向が前進と後進の2種別のみであるため、前照灯1および尾灯2は遠方より鉄道車両の存在が認識できる程度の光量を備える標識であれば良いとされている。夜間や長大トンネルを走行する際には前照灯1および尾灯の点灯が義務付けられているため、前照灯1や尾灯2の故障が故障した場合には運休となる場合もある。 In the case of the railway vehicle 10, since it travels along the track, there are only two types of traveling directions, forward and backward. Therefore, the headlamp 1 and the tail lamp 2 are provided with light quantities that can recognize the presence of the railway vehicle from a distance. If it is good. Since the headlamp 1 and the taillight 2 are required to be turned on at night or when traveling through a long tunnel, the headlamp 1 or the taillight 2 may be suspended if a failure occurs.

近年、従来の標識としての機能に加えて、踏切を横断する歩行者や自動車への注意を喚起し、乗務員(特に運転手)の前方視界を広くするために、前照灯1の光量を大きくしたり、昼間であっても点灯したりする場合が増えつつある。   In recent years, in addition to the function as a conventional sign, in order to attract attention to pedestrians and cars crossing the railroad crossing, and to widen the front view of the crew (especially the driver), the amount of light of the headlamp 1 is increased. There are increasing cases of lighting up even during the daytime.

図2は実施例1の前照灯を示す正面図であり、図3は図2に示した前照灯のA−A断面図である。前照灯1は、鉄道車両10の進行方向の遠方を照らす光軸12Hを備える第1遠方光源21Hおよび第2遠方光源22Hと、鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍(手前)を照らす光軸14Lを備える第1近傍光源31Lおよび第2近傍光源32Lと、これら光源を覆うカバー5(図3参照)を有する。第1遠方光源21Hおよび第2遠方光源22H、第1近傍光源31Lおよび第2近傍光源32Lは、順方向に電圧を加えた際に発光する複数のLED(発光ダイオード、ight mitting iode)素子18から構成されている。FIG. 2 is a front view showing the headlamp of the first embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the headlamp shown in FIG. The headlamp 1 includes a first far light source 21H and a second far light source 22H that include an optical axis 12H that illuminates a distance in the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10, and an optical axis 14L that illuminates the vicinity (front) of the railway vehicle 10 in the traveling direction. And a cover 5 (see FIG. 3) that covers these light sources. First distant light source 21H and a second distant sources 22H, first near the light source 31L and the second near the light source 32L, a plurality of LED that emits light when a voltage is applied in the forward direction (light-emitting diode, L ight E mitting D iode) It is composed of the element 18.

図4は、図2に示した前照灯(実施例1)の回路図である。第1遠方光源21Hおよび第2遠方光源22Hと、第1近傍光源31Lおよび第2近傍光源32Lと、の各光源は、直列に接続される複数のLED素子18を有しており、これら各光源21H、22H、31L、32Lは電源15に並列に接続されている。   FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of the headlamp (Example 1) shown in FIG. Each light source of the first far light source 21H and the second far light source 22H, and the first near light source 31L and the second near light source 32L has a plurality of LED elements 18 connected in series. 21H, 22H, 31L, and 32L are connected to the power supply 15 in parallel.

鉄道車両10の運転室には乗務員(特に運転手)が対向車両の運転手やホーム係員などの眩惑を防止するために、前照灯1から照射される遠方光軸12Hと近傍光軸14Lとかなる一方の光源群の点灯と、近傍光軸14Lのみからなる他方の光源群の点灯と、を任意に切り替える切り替えスイッチ11が備えられる。   In the driver's cab of the railway vehicle 10, a crew member (especially a driver) is provided with a far optical axis 12H and a near optical axis 14L emitted from the headlamp 1 in order to prevent a driver of an oncoming vehicle or a home attendant from being dazzled. There is provided a change-over switch 11 for arbitrarily switching between lighting of one light source group and lighting of the other light source group consisting of only the adjacent optical axis 14L.

切り替えスイッチ11は、一方の光源群を構成する第1遠方光源21H、第2遠方光源22Hおよび第1近傍光源31Lの各光源を入り切りする接点51H、接点52Hおよび接点61Lからなる一方の接点群と、他方の光源群をなす第2近傍光源32Lを入り切する他方の接点群である接点62Lと、を有する。   The change-over switch 11 includes one contact group including a contact 51H, a contact 52H, and a contact 61L for turning on and off each light source of the first far light source 21H, the second far light source 22H, and the first near light source 31L constituting one light source group. , And a contact 62L which is the other contact group for turning on and off the second nearby light source 32L forming the other light source group.

LED素子18から放射される光は直進性が高く、拡散しにくい特徴を有する。このため、光軸12Hを有し遠方を照らす第1遠方光源21Hおよび第2遠方光源22Hと、光軸14Lを有し近傍を照らす第1近傍光源31Lと第2遠方光源32Lと、の群に分けて、これらを選択的に点灯する回路を構成した場合、進行方向の遠方のみが照らし出され、進行方向の手前(近傍)は照らし出されず、鉄道車両10の進行方向の手前(近傍)への飛び出し等を把握しにくいなどの不都合が生じる懸念がある。   The light radiated from the LED element 18 is highly straight and has a feature that it is difficult to diffuse. For this reason, the first far light source 21H and the second far light source 22H that have the optical axis 12H and illuminate far away, the first near light source 31L that has the optical axis 14L and illuminate the vicinity, and the second far light source 32L. When a circuit for selectively lighting these is configured separately, only the far side in the traveling direction is illuminated, and the front (near) in the traveling direction is not illuminated, but the near (near) in the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10. There is a concern that inconveniences such as difficulty in grasping jumping out of the camera may occur.

上記懸念を解消するために、第1遠方光源21Hおよび第2遠方光源22Hと、第1近傍光源31Lと、を一方の光源群とし、第2近傍光源32Lを他方の光源群とし、一方の光源群と他方の光源群とを選択的に点灯できる回路を構成している。   In order to eliminate the concern, the first far light source 21H, the second far light source 22H, and the first near light source 31L are set as one light source group, the second near light source 32L is set as the other light source group, and one light source A circuit capable of selectively lighting the group and the other light source group is configured.

以上の構成によって、鉄道車両10が対向車両のない駅間を走行する時などには、切り替えスイッチ11を操作して一方の接点群を閉じて、第1遠方光源21H、第2遠方光源22Hおよび第1近傍光源31Lに通電して、鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍から遠方に至る広範囲を照らすことが可能であるため、乗務員は、鉄道車両10の直前(手前)から遠方に至る広い範囲で発生する障害物等を容易に認識することができる。   With the above configuration, when the railway vehicle 10 travels between stations without an oncoming vehicle, the changeover switch 11 is operated to close one contact group, and the first far light source 21H, the second far light source 22H, Since the first vicinity light source 31L can be energized to illuminate a wide area from the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10 to the distance, the crew can travel in a wide range from immediately before (in front of) the railway vehicle 10 to the distance. Obstacles that occur can be easily recognized.

さらに、鉄道車両10が駅構内に浸入する際や対向車両がある場合などは、切り替えスイッチ11を操作して一方の接点群(接点51H、接点52H、接点61L)を開くととともに他方の接点62Lを閉じて、第2近傍光源32Lのみを点灯することによって鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍のみを照らし、対向車両および駅係員等が眩惑を感じることを抑制することができる。このとき、近傍および遠方を照らす一方の光源の総光量に比較して、近傍のみを照らす他方の光源の総光量を小さくすることができるので、駅係員等および対向車両の運転手の眩惑感の抑制を促進することができる。   Further, when the railcar 10 enters the station or there is an oncoming vehicle, the contact switch 11 is operated to open one contact group (contact 51H, contact 52H, contact 61L) and the other contact 62L. By closing only the second vicinity light source 32L and illuminating only the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10, it is possible to prevent the oncoming vehicle and station staff from feeling dazzled. At this time, since the total light amount of the other light source that illuminates only the vicinity can be made smaller than the total light amount of the one light source that illuminates the vicinity and the distant place, Suppression can be promoted.

さらに、複数の遠方光源と、複数の近傍光源と、を備えるとともにこれら各光源を電源15に並列に接続しているため、複数の遠方光源の内のいずれか、または、複数の近傍光源の内のいずれかに不具合が生じた場合であっても、健全性を維持する遠方または近傍光源の継続発光によって全不灯を抑制するとともに所定の機能を維持できるため、鉄道車両10の運行を継続することができる。   Furthermore, since a plurality of distant light sources and a plurality of near light sources are provided and these light sources are connected in parallel to the power supply 15, any one of the plurality of distant light sources or a plurality of near light sources is included. Even if a malfunction occurs in any of the above, since the continuous light emission from a distant or nearby light source that maintains soundness can be suppressed and the predetermined function can be maintained, the operation of the railway vehicle 10 is continued. be able to.

また、一方の光源群に含まれる第1近傍光源31Lに電力を供給する接続線と、他方の光源群の第2近傍光源32Lに電力を供給する接続線と、は、接点(開閉器)82Lと逆流防止ダイオード19を介して接続されている。第2近傍光源32Lに電力を供給する接続線には、この接続線を流れる電流を監視する電流検知装置42Lが備えられており、第2近傍光源32Lの健全性を監視している。   A connection line for supplying power to the first nearby light source 31L included in one light source group and a connection line for supplying power to the second nearby light source 32L of the other light source group are contacts (switches) 82L. Are connected via a backflow prevention diode 19. A connection line that supplies power to the second nearby light source 32L is provided with a current detection device 42L that monitors the current flowing through the connection line, and monitors the soundness of the second nearby light source 32L.

第2近傍光源32Lを構成する複数のLED素子18の内のいずれかが壊れた場合、第2近傍光源32Lに電力を供給する接続線に流れる電流が減少する。電流検知装置42Lは、この電流の減少から第2近傍光源32Lに不具合が発生したことを検知する。   When any of the plurality of LED elements 18 constituting the second neighboring light source 32L is broken, the current flowing through the connection line that supplies power to the second neighboring light source 32L decreases. The current detection device 42L detects that a problem has occurred in the second nearby light source 32L from the decrease in current.

不具合を検知した電流検知装置42Lは、バックアップスイッチ102を操作して、通常時には開いている開閉器82Lが閉じられる。バックアップスイッチ102は、乗務員が電流検知装置42Lの出力を確認した後に手動で扱っても良いし、乗務員の操作を介することなく自動で投入されても良い。   The current detection device 42L that has detected the malfunction operates the backup switch 102 to close the switch 82L that is normally open. The backup switch 102 may be handled manually after the crew member confirms the output of the current detection device 42L, or may be turned on automatically without the crew member's operation.

バックアップスイッチ102が投入された後に、乗務員(特に、運転手)が切り替えスイッチ11を扱って、鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍のみを照らすために接点62Lを閉じると、電源15から接点62L、開閉器82L、逆流防止ダイオード19を経由して第1近傍光源31L(一方の光源)のみに電力が供給され、第1近傍光源31Lのみが点灯する。つまり、バックアップスイッチ102よって、不灯となった第2近傍光源32Lに代えて、第1近傍光源31Lが点灯するため、鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍を照らすことができる。   After the backup switch 102 is turned on, when the crew member (especially the driver) handles the changeover switch 11 and closes the contact 62L to illuminate only the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10, the contact 62L is opened and closed from the power supply 15. Power is supplied only to the first near light source 31L (one light source) via the detector 82L and the backflow prevention diode 19, and only the first near light source 31L is lit. In other words, the backup switch 102 turns on the first near light source 31L instead of the second near light source 32L that has been turned off, so that the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10 can be illuminated.

バックアップスイッチ102が投入された後に、切り替スイッチ11を扱って接点51H、接点52H、接点61Hを閉じた場合、第1遠方光源21H、第2遠方光源22Hおよび第1近傍光源31L(一方の群)に通電されて、鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍から遠方に至る広範囲を照らすことができる。   After the backup switch 102 is turned on, when the changeover switch 11 is handled and the contacts 51H, 52H, and 61H are closed, the first far light source 21H, the second far light source 22H, and the first near light source 31L (one group) Can be illuminated to illuminate a wide range from the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10 to the distant place.

以上のバックアップスイッチ102が投入された後の切り替えスイッチ11の取り扱いは、バックアップスイッチ102が投入される前の取り扱いと何ら変わりなく、運転手は従来の切り替えスイッチ11の取り扱いによって、近傍から遠方に至る範囲の照射と、近傍のみの照射(光軸切り替え)とを切り替えることができ、眩惑を抑制するための操作が煩雑にならない効果を有す。   The handling of the changeover switch 11 after the backup switch 102 is turned on is no different from the handling before the backup switch 102 is turned on, and the driver moves from the vicinity to the distance by handling the conventional changeover switch 11. The irradiation of the range and the irradiation of only the vicinity (optical axis switching) can be switched, and the operation for suppressing the dazzling does not become complicated.

なお、逆流防止ダイオード19は、誤ってバックアップスイッチ102が投入された場合に、接点61Lから開閉器82Lを経由して第2近傍光源32Lに電流が流れることを抑制して不要な点灯を防止する。   The backflow prevention diode 19 prevents unnecessary lighting by suppressing current from flowing from the contact 61L to the second nearby light source 32L via the switch 82L when the backup switch 102 is accidentally turned on. .

図5から図9に示す実施例2から実施例5に示す前照灯1を構成する各光源の形態や配列は、鉄道車両10の先頭車両の正面(妻面)を設計する際の自由度を高めるための例である。図5から図9に示す前照灯1(実施例2から実施例5)は、図4に示す回路図を備えるものであるため、実施例1に示した効果、つまり、遠方光源と近傍光源とを同時に点灯できる回路構成によってLEDの直進性が強く拡散しにくい特徴を補うとともに運転手が進行方向の手前から遠方に至る広範囲を確認できる効果や、遠方および近傍と近傍のみとを照らす光軸および総光量とを切り替えるスイッチを取り扱うことによって駅係員や対向列車の運転手の眩惑を抑制する効果や、光源の故障を検知する装置を備えるとともにこの故障検知装置の出力に基づいてバックアップスイッチを取り扱うことによって故障した光源を健全な光源に代替できる効果や、複数の遠方光源と複数の近傍光源を備えるとともに電源に並列接続することによって遠方及び近傍光源の信頼性を高める効果を奏することができる。 The form and arrangement of each light source constituting the headlamp 1 shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 are the degrees of freedom in designing the front surface (wife face) of the leading vehicle of the railway vehicle 10. It is an example for enhancing The headlamps 1 (Embodiment 2 to Embodiment 5) shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 are provided with the circuit diagram shown in FIG. 4, and thus the effects shown in Embodiment 1, that is, the far light source and the near light source.

図10は実施例6の前照灯の斜視図であり、図11は実施例6の前照灯の回路図である。図10に示す前照灯1は、上段に水平方向に配設されるとともに光軸14Lを有す3個の近傍光源31L、32L、33Lと、下段に水平方向に配設されるとともに光軸12Hを有す3個の遠方光源21H、22H、23Hと、を備えている。   FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the headlamp of the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 11 is a circuit diagram of the headlamp of the sixth embodiment.

And three remote light sources 21H, 22H, and 23H having 12H.

第1近傍光源31L、第2近傍光源32L及び第3近傍光源33Lと、第1遠方光源21H、第2遠方光源22H及び第3遠方光源23Hと、の各光源は、直列に接続される複数のLED素子18を有しており、これら各光源21H、22H、23H、31L、32L、33Lは、電源15の電圧が均等に作用する並列回路を構成している。第2近傍光源32Lと第2遠方光源22Hとは、他の光源に不具合が生じた際に使用される予備の光源である。   Each of the first near light source 31L, the second near light source 32L, and the third near light source 33L, and the first far light source 21H, the second far light source 22H, and the third far light source 23H includes a plurality of light sources connected in series. Each of the light sources 21H, 22H, 23H, 31L, 32L, and 33L forms a parallel circuit in which the voltage of the power supply 15 acts equally. The second near light source 32L and the second far light source 22H are spare light sources that are used when a malfunction occurs in another light source.

第1近傍光源31Lに電力を供給する接続線から逆流防止ダイオード19と接点81Lを介して予備の第2近傍光源32Lに電力を供給する接続線と、第3近傍光源33Lに電力を供給する接続線から逆流防止ダイオード19と接点83Lを介して予備の第2近傍光源32Lに電力を供給する接続線と、が配線されている。   A connection line for supplying power to the spare second vicinity light source 32L via the backflow prevention diode 19 and the contact 81L from a connection line for supplying power to the first vicinity light source 31L, and a connection for supplying power to the third vicinity light source 33L A connection line for supplying power from the line to the spare second near light source 32L via the backflow prevention diode 19 and the contact 83L is wired.

A connection line for supplying power from the connection line to be supplied to the spare second far light source 22H via the backflow prevention diode 19 and the contact 71H is wired.

第1近傍光源31L、第3近傍光源33Lの各光源に電力を供給する各接続線には、各接続線を流れる電流を監視する電流検知装置41L、43Lが備えられており、こられ光源の健全性を監視している。同様に、第1遠方光源21H、第3遠方光源23Hの各光源に電力を供給する各接続線には、各接続線を流れる電流を監視する電流検知装置41H、43Hが備えられており、こられ光源の健全性を監視している。   Each connection line that supplies power to each light source of the first vicinity light source 31L and the third vicinity light source 33L includes current detection devices 41L and 43L that monitor the current flowing through each connection line.

切り替えスイッチ11は、第1遠方光源21H、第3遠方光源23Hおよび第1近傍光源31Lの各光源を入り切りする接点51H、接点53Hおよび接点61Lからなる一方の接点群と、第近傍光源33Lを入り切する他方の接点群である接点63Lと、を有する。つまり、第1遠方光源21Hおよび第3遠方光源23Hと、第1近傍光源31Lと、を一方の光源群とし、第3近傍光源33Lを他方の光源群とし、一方の光源群と他方の光源群とを選択的に点灯できる回路を構成している
Changeover switch 11, a first distal light source 21H, third distant light source 23H and the first neighboring source contact turns on and off the respective light sources 31L 51H, and one contact group consisting of the contacts 53H and the contact 61L, the third near the light source 33 L And a contact 63L, which is the other contact group for turning on and off. That is, the first far light source 21H and the third far light source 23H, and the first near light source 31L are used as one light source group, the third near light source 33L is used as the other light source group, and the one light source group and the other light source group are used. And a circuit that can selectively light up .

以上の構成によって、鉄道車両10が対向車両のない駅間を走行する時などには、切り替えスイッチ11を操作して一方の接点群を閉じて、第1遠方光源21H、第3遠方光源23Hおよび第1近傍光源31Lに通電して、鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍から遠方に至る広範囲を照らすことが可能であるため、乗務員は、鉄道車両10の直前(手前)から遠方に至る広い範囲で発生する障害物等を容易に認識することができる。   With the above configuration, when the railway vehicle 10 travels between stations without an oncoming vehicle, the changeover switch 11 is operated to close one contact group, and the first far light source 21H, the third far light source 23H, Since the first vicinity light source 31L can be energized to illuminate a wide area from the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10 to the distance, the crew can travel in a wide range from immediately before (in front of) the railway vehicle 10 to the distance. Obstacles that occur can be easily recognized.

さらに、鉄道車両10が駅構内に浸入する際や対向車両がある場合などは、切り替えスイッチ11を操作して一方の接点群(接点51H、接点53H、接点61L)を開くととともに他方の接点63Lを閉じて、第3近傍光源33Lのみを点灯することによって鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍のみを照らし、対向車両および駅係員等が眩惑を感じることを抑制することができる。このとき、近傍および遠方を照らす一方の光源の総光量に比較して、近傍のみを照らす他方の光源の総光量を小さくすることができるので、駅係員等および対向車両の運転手の眩惑感の抑制を促進することができる。   Further, when the railway vehicle 10 enters the station or there is an oncoming vehicle, the contact switch 11 is operated to open one contact group (contact 51H, contact 53H, contact 61L) and the other contact 63L. By turning on only the third vicinity light source 33L and illuminating only the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10, it is possible to suppress the oncoming vehicle and station staff from feeling dazzled. At this time, since the total light amount of the other light source that illuminates only the vicinity can be made smaller than the total light amount of the one light source that illuminates the vicinity and the distant place, Suppression can be promoted.

さらに、複数の遠方光源と、複数の近傍光源と、を備えるとともにこれら各光源を電源15に並列に接続しているため、複数の遠方光源の内のいずれか、または、複数の近傍光源の内のいずれかに不具合が生じた場合であっても、健全性を維持する遠方または近傍光源の継続発光によって全不灯を抑制するとともに所定の機能を維持できるため、鉄道車両10の運行を継続することができる。   Furthermore, since a plurality of distant light sources and a plurality of near light sources are provided and these light sources are connected in parallel to the power supply 15, any one of the plurality of distant light sources or a plurality of near light sources is included. Even if a malfunction occurs in any of the above, since the continuous light emission from a distant or nearby light source that maintains soundness can be suppressed and the predetermined function can be maintained, the operation of the railway vehicle 10 is continued. be able to.

第1近傍光源31Lを構成する複数のLED素子18の内のいずれかが壊れた場合、第1近傍光源31Lに電力を供給する接続線に流れる電流が減少する。電流検知装置41Lは、この電流の減少から第1近傍光源31Lに不具合が発生したことを検知する。不具合を検知した電流検知装置41Lの出力に基づき、バックアップスイッチ101を操作して、通常時には開いている開閉器81Lを閉じる。   When any of the plurality of LED elements 18 constituting the first vicinity light source 31L is broken, the current flowing through the connection line that supplies power to the first vicinity light source 31L decreases. The current detection device 41L detects that a failure has occurred in the first nearby light source 31L from the decrease in current. Based on the output of the current detection device 41L that has detected the malfunction, the backup switch 101 is operated to close the switch 81L that is normally open.

同様に、第3近傍光源33Lに不具合が生じた場合、電流検知装置43Lがこの不具合を検知して、バックアップスイッチ103を操作して、通常時には開いている開閉器83Lを閉じる。   Similarly, when a failure occurs in the third near light source 33L, the current detection device 43L detects this failure, operates the backup switch 103, and closes the switch 83L that is normally open.

同様に、第1遠方光源21Hに不具合が生じた場合、電流検知装置41Hがこの不具合を検知して、バックアップスイッチ91を操作して、通常時には開いている開閉器72Hを閉じる。   Similarly, when a failure occurs in the first far light source 21H, the current detection device 41H detects this failure and operates the backup switch 91 to close the switch 72H that is normally open.

同様に、第3遠方光源23Hに不具合が生じた場合、電流検知装置43Hがこの不具合を検知して、バックアップスイッチ93を操作して、通常時には開いている開閉器71Hを閉じる。   Similarly, when a failure occurs in the third far light source 23H, the current detection device 43H detects this failure and operates the backup switch 93 to close the normally open switch 71H.

各バックアップスイッチ91、93、101、103は、乗務員が電流検知装置41L、43L、41H、43Hの出力を確認した後に扱っても良いし、乗務員の操作を介することなく自動で投入されても良い。   Each backup switch 91, 93, 101, 103 may be handled after the crew member confirms the output of the current detection devices 41L, 43L, 41H, 43H, or may be automatically turned on without the crew member's operation. .

つまり、図10と図11に示す実施例6の前照灯1は、第1または第3近傍光源31L、33Lのいずれかまたは両方に不具合が生じた時に、不具合が生じた近傍光源に代えて予備の第2近傍光源32Lが点灯できる回路を構成するとともに、第1または第3遠方光源21H、23Hのいずれかまたは両方に不具合が生じた時に、不具合が生じた遠方光源に代えて予備の第2遠方光源22Hが点灯できる回路を構成する。   That is, the headlamp 1 of the sixth embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is replaced with a nearby light source in which a failure occurs when one or both of the first or third nearby light sources 31L and 33L have a failure. In addition to constituting a circuit that can turn on the spare second nearby light source 32L, when a failure occurs in one or both of the first or third remote light sources 21H and 23H, the spare second light source 32L is replaced with a spare second light source. 2 A circuit that can turn on the remote light source 22H is configured.

以下に、具体的に第3遠方光源23Hに不具合が生じてバックアップスイッチ93が投入された後(接点71Hが閉じられる)に、乗務員(特に、運転手)によって切り替えスイッチ11が扱われた時の前照灯1の灯火動作を説明する。   In the following, when the change-over switch 11 is handled by a crew member (especially the driver) after the backup switch 93 is turned on (the contact 71H is closed) after a specific malfunction occurs in the third far-field light source 23H. The lighting operation of the headlamp 1 will be described.

乗務員(特に、運転手)が切り替えスイッチ11を扱って、鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍のみを照らすために接点63Lを閉じて、接点51H、53H、61Lを開けると、第3近傍光源33Lのみが点灯し、鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍のみを照らすことができる。   When a crew member (especially a driver) handles the change-over switch 11 and closes the contact 63L to illuminate only the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railcar 10, and opens the contacts 51H, 53H, 61L, only the third vicinity light source 33L Is lit, and only the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10 can be illuminated.

次に、乗務員(特に、運転手)が切り替えスイッチ11を扱って、鉄道車両10の進行方向の近傍から遠方までの広い範囲を照らすために接点63Lを開けて、接点51H、53H、61Lを閉じると、第3近傍光源33Lが消灯して、第1近傍光源31Lと第1遠方光源21Hと予備の第2遠方光源22Hとが点灯して、近傍から遠方までの広い範囲を照らすことができる。   Next, a crew member (especially a driver) handles the changeover switch 11 to open the contact 63L and close the contacts 51H, 53H, and 61L to illuminate a wide range from the vicinity of the traveling direction of the railway vehicle 10 to the distance. Then, the third near light source 33L is turned off, and the first near light source 31L, the first far light source 21H, and the spare second far light source 22H are turned on, and a wide range from near to far can be illuminated.

以上のバックアップスイッチ93が投入された後の切り替えスイッチ11の取り扱いは、バックアップスイッチ93が投入される前の取り扱いと何ら変わりなく、運転手は従来の切り替えスイッチ11の取り扱いによって、近傍から遠方に至る範囲の照射と、近傍のみの照射(光軸切り替え)とを切り替えることができ、眩惑を抑制するための操作が煩雑にならない。   The handling of the changeover switch 11 after the backup switch 93 is turned on is no different from the handling before the backup switch 93 is turned on, and the driver goes from the vicinity to the distance by handling the conventional changeover switch 11. It is possible to switch between irradiation of the range and irradiation of only the vicinity (optical axis switching), and the operation for suppressing dazzling does not become complicated.

以上の説明は、第3遠方光源23Hに不具合が生じてバックアップスイッチ93が扱われた場合であるが、第1遠方光源21H、第1および第3近傍光源31L、33Lに不具合が生じた場合にも、同様に、各光源に対応するバックアップスイッチ91、101、103が扱われて不具合が生じた各光源(21H、31L、33L)に対応する各接点(72H、81L、83L)が閉じて、代替となる光源が点灯できる回路が構成されるので、これらに関する説明を省略する。   The above description is a case where the backup switch 93 is handled due to a failure in the third far light source 23H, but when a failure occurs in the first far light source 21H, the first and third neighboring light sources 31L, 33L. Similarly, the contacts (72H, 81L, 83L) corresponding to the respective light sources (21H, 31L, 33L) in which the backup switches 91, 101, 103 corresponding to the respective light sources are handled and the trouble occurs are closed, Since a circuit capable of turning on an alternative light source is configured, description thereof will be omitted.

なお、実施例6に供される逆流防止ダイオード19は、誤ってバックアップスイッチ91、93、101、103が投入された場合に、各バックアップスイッチに対応する各光源の不要な点灯を防止するために備えられている。   Note that the backflow prevention diode 19 provided in the sixth embodiment prevents unnecessary lighting of each light source corresponding to each backup switch when the backup switches 91, 93, 101, and 103 are erroneously turned on. Is provided.

一方の光源群および他方の光源群に、各予備灯を備えることによって、より高い信頼性を得ることができるので、前照灯1の不具合に起因する運休等を抑制することができる。   By providing each spare light in one light source group and the other light source group, higher reliability can be obtained, so that suspension due to a malfunction of the headlamp 1 can be suppressed.
