Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable the earlier change of traffic lanes by a succeeding car by arranging a speed sensor in a transmitting system of a speed gauge, holding movement of a car based on the operation of an accelerator pedal or back light, and lighting a signal. CONSTITUTION: A relay is set ON when a car is run backward and a SW 101 is set ON. During the backward running of the car, a speed sensor 5 is operated to set ON the relay 10. A red flasher 51 of a signal is operated, and at the same time a white signal 55 is indicated. When the car is stopped, that is, the red flasher 1 flashes, the current voltage is not generated without activation of the speed sensor 5. A relay 30 is kept normal OFF state. A main power source is operated for lighting the red flasher through a bulb inspection system flasher 201. At the time of starting, the car is driven in the following three states; that is slow running without oil supplement, foreward running with oil supplement, and braking with pedal operation. At the time of starting, the relay 30 is set ON.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention uses 3-color signal lights and 5 types of display systems to indicate when the vehicle is backing up, stopping, lubrication, no lubrication, inertia slowing, braking, etc. This relates to a vehicle operating status indicator that is displayed to other vehicles.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, automobiles are equipped with an indicator that lights up a tail light to indicate to vehicles behind that braking is being applied by stepping on a brake pedal when braking.

[Problems that the invention aims to solve] With the advancement of high technology, vehicle speeds are increasing more and more, rear-end collisions of cars on expressways account for 50.9%, single-vehicle accidents account for 48.6%, and others. In particular, the accident rate at night is four times higher than during the day, and this is because drivers cannot pay attention to the taillights of the car in front of them, and they can't pay attention to the taillights of the car in front of them. Drivers have to be careful of pedestrians, pedestrians, etc., and with conventional taillights, it is not possible to clearly judge the situation of the vehicle in front by looking at the afterglow of the driver's eyes.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to provide a vehicle operating status indicator that allows the rear vehicle to clearly anticipate the situation of the front vehicle even in the afterglow visible to the naked eye and prepare for changes at an early stage. There is a particular thing.

[Means for solving the problem] The present invention installs a speed sensor (Senspr) in the transmission system of the speedometer, controls the movement of the vehicle by each accelerator such as an accelerator pedal and a backlight, and also controls the signal light. display, connect all the light bulbs of each system to light emitting diodes (LEDs), and connect them to the meter panel (meLer panel).
The driver can also detect whether the bulb is normal or not, and can choose between an automatic flashing system or a constant-on headlight system. This can reduce the psychological burden on drivers, extend battery life, and reduce lead pollution.

The operating status indicator of the vehicle of the present invention has separate white, red, and green signal lights attached to the head and rear of the vehicle to display the actual operating status of the water turbine to vehicles approaching from the front and tailing vehicles from the rear. One set of white, red, and green signal lights are installed at the center of the front end of the vehicle, and two sets of white, red, and green signal lights are installed at both ends of the rear.The signals on the vehicle's nose are used to prevent collisions when passing or crossing the road. prevent,
The signal at the rear of the vehicle is intended to notify tailgaters of the operating status of the vehicle and prevent rear-end collisions.

The vehicle operating status indicator according to the present invention has three types of signal lights for indicating the status of the vehicle, and also includes a conventional traffic signal light.

■Backlight: Uses a white light + red flashing light to display the back. In this situation, even if you separate the accelerator pedal or brake, the signal will not be affected.

■Stop light, fault light: Uses a red flashing light to indicate that the vehicle is stopped on the road.

In this situation, even if you press the accelerator pedal for a minute, it will not affect the stop signal.

■Acceleration light: Uses a green light to indicate that the road ahead is normal and you can accelerate forward.

■Slow light: Use the green flashing light to indicate that the situation ahead is unknown, prepare to stop at your discretion, and proceed slowly.

■Brake light: Uses a red light to indicate that the vehicle speed will decrease using the braking system.

When a car having an indicator according to the present invention is driving on the road, no matter how far the car behind is, when the car looks at the indicator, the situation of the car in front can be immediately known. As with troop marches, the first car is the commander, and the command passenger car (first car) uses signal lights to transmit information such as lubrication, slow inertia, braking, stopping, and hacking to the rear.

The command passenger car (first car) is responsible for observing the front of the cars behind, and the driver of the car also transmits the same movements to the rear, so all drivers on the road behave in the same way, and the road naturally opens smoothly. , braking operation and air pollution can be reduced, improving life and property protection.

The present invention connects the functional light bulb of each signal light to one light emitting diode, the light emitting diode is installed in the meter panel of the driver's cab, and the one light emitting diode is connected to one light bulb,
When the light bulb lights up, the light emitting diode lights up, and if the light bulb breaks down, the light emitting diode also stops emitting light. This allows the driver to determine which bulb is at fault and replace it immediately. Headlights consume a large amount of electricity and obstruct the view of oncoming vehicles from the front.

The lighting signal lamp of the present invention can be freely selected between an automatic flashing system and a constant lighting system, and long-range lights and short-range lights depend on manual operation. The automatic flashing system for normal roads does not obstruct the line of sight of the vehicle in front when the vehicle is stopped, and the system lights up when driving and turns off when the vehicle is stopped, thereby extending battery life and reducing lead pollution. It is something.

The vehicle operating status indicator of the present invention does not modify the conventional direction lights and still uses the conventional yellow flashing lights as direction lights, but in the case of a light failure, the current manual activation method is already effective. For example, if there is a rear-end collision between two vehicles on the highway, or if the rear driver is injured or becomes confused, you can turn on the trouble light or take out the trouble indicator triangular reflector from the luggage box. If it is not possible to park the vehicle 50 meters behind the vehicle, a series of rear-end collisions often occur where a vehicle coming from 3 kilometers behind the vehicle causes another rear-end collision at the scene of the rear-end collision. Therefore, stopping on a drivable road is already very dangerous for the cars behind you, and may raise the suspicion that there is an obstruction, so in the present invention, a red flashing light is installed in the rear to indicate a breakdown or a temporary stop. I'm trying to warn cars.

[Embodiment] Fig. 1 is an electrical circuit diagram, in which the car's total power source SW2 is turned on by the car key, and the car's battery B is supplied as a power source for the entire system.

The automatic flashing system or the lighting system can be freely selected, and the three-stage switch 5W105 controls the headlight, long-distance light 41, short-distance light 42, and is used for turning on and off. The operation method of the automatic lighting system is that when the manual lighting switch is turned off, the relay 31 is turned off normally;
When the car starts, the speed sensor 5 attached to the speedometer starting system is activated and the relay is activated.
30 turns on. Then, power is again supplied to the relay 31, and after being turned off, the power is supplied to the three-stage switch 5W105, forming an automatic headlight lighting system. The headlight automatic turn-off operation method is based on the speed sensor (S) on the starting system.
sensor) does not work, that is, the car is stopped and the relay 3o is normally turned off, and the relay 31 is turned off and is not energized.If there is no power to the switch 5W105, the headlights will be turned on automatically. Lights out. The constant lighting system for the headlights is manual lighting 5W10.
When 5 is turned on, the relay 31 is turned on and supplies the three-stage switch to the constant headlight illumination system.

The detection method of the vehicle starting system is that when the vehicle is stopped, if the speed sensor 5 attached to the speedometer starting pipe does not act, current and voltage will not be generated and the relay 30 will remain normally off. When the car is started, the speed sensor is activated, current and voltage are generated, and the relay 30 is activated and turned on. The speed sensor detects when the car starts and stops, and the various states of the car are indicated by changing the relevant switches. When the car is in reverse, the speed sensor reverses, and then turns on the reverse switch 101 and relay 10, disconnects the speed sensor signal, and when the relay 3o turns off normally, the white light 55 + blinks red. Light 51 (back) signal is displayed.

In the hack state (signal lights: 55 white lights + 51 red flashing lights), if the car is in reverse, use the back lever to back up the car and use 5W.
When the IOI is turned on, the relay 10 is turned on. When the car is backing up, the speed sensor 5 acts, which turns on the relay 10. Since the signal cannot turn on the relay 30 and maintains the normal off state, the red blinking light 51 is activated, and 5WIOI is turned on for reversing, that is, the white signal light 55 is displayed at the same time. At this time, even if the accelerator pedal (SW102) or brake pedal (SW103) is stepped on, the signal light of this system will not be affected.

When the vehicle is stopped (signal light: flashing red 51), current and voltage will not be generated unless the speed sensor 5 is activated, so the relay 30 maintains the normal OFF state, and the main power source is the light bulb inspection system flasher 2.
A red flashing signal is displayed via 01. At this time, the accelerator pedal (SW102) or the brake pedal (SW103)
) has no effect on the signal lights of this system.

When the vehicle is started, there are three conditions for operating the vehicle, namely, slow driving without lubrication, forward movement with lubrication, and braking with the brake pedal depressed, and the relay 30 is turned on when the vehicle is started.

(1) When driving slowly without lubrication, the relay 20 is normally turned off (the brake switch 103 is off), the relay 21 is normally turned off (the lubrication switch 102 is off), and the main power is supplied to the flasher F202 of the light bulb inspection system. After passing through, the green flashing light signal 52 becomes, which is a green flashing signal light indicating that the vehicle is not refueling and is slowing down.

(2) Lubricating When moving forward, the relay 20 is normally off (the brake switch 103 is off, and when you step on the accelerator pedal, the relay 21 is turned on, (the lubricating switch 102 is on), and the main power goes through the light bulb inspection system and turns green. The signal light 53 is an indicator, which is a lubrication advance green signal light.

(3) When the brake is applied, the relay 20 is turned on and the brake switch 103 is turned on) After the main power goes through the light bulb inspection system, it becomes the red signal light 54, which is the brake red signal light.

The light bulb inspection system detects whether the light bulbs are lighting up normally or not, and displays the information on the instrument panel using light emitting diodes (LEDs), allowing the driver to know whether the signal light bulbs on the outside of the vehicle are working properly or not. I can do it. This system is a cement resistor, a general resistor and a transistor are used to increase the consumption current of the light bulb, so that the current flows through the transistor and generates a transformed current to the light emitting diode (LED), so if the light bulb does not light up, the light emitting diode (LED) It will also not emit light.

[Effects of the Invention] The vehicle operating status indicator according to the present invention can be used in five types of situations and five types.
Just by looking at the signal light from another vehicle, you will be able to tell what kind of situation the water turbine is in, and you will be able to take quick response measures. The color standards for conventional traffic lights and the industrial industry are the same; green represents safe driving, red represents danger warnings, etc. Drivers can respond quickly, and the meaning is clear and easy to remember, so there is no psychological burden. The driver does not have to concentrate his/her attention and judge the condition of the vehicle in front by looking at the body of the vehicle in front of him and the scenery outside the vehicle.
You can tell by looking at the afterglow with your naked eye. The driver also distributes his/her attention to other safe driving, ensuring the safest driving possible.

The light bulb inspection system of the present invention has a light emitting diode (LED) installed on the meter panel, allowing the driver to know whether each indicator light is normal without leaving the car, and the signal lights connected to each car are normal. This eliminates the possibility of not noticing that the light bulb is not on. The headlight lighting selection automatic flashing system extends the battery life in the car, reduces lead pollution, and since the headlights are not on when the car is stopped, the headlights will automatically turn off even if you stop at a crossroads, making it easier to turn other cars. It reduces the psychological burden on drivers without affecting their line of sight.
