Abstract
Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は自動車の右折および左折時において、自動車に既設の方向指示装置と連動して警報を報知する警告装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、自動車に既設の方向指示装置と連動して警報を報知する警告装置としては、屋根等に設置される補助点灯ランプや、音声によって右折および左折を報知する警告装置が知られている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、従来の警告装置のほとんどは報知部と車両が有線的に接続されており、その設置作業の負担が大きかった。また、送信部と受信部とを有する警告装置においても、送信部と車両との接続方法は有線的であり、同様な問題があった。
【0004】
この発明は、上記のような従来技術に存在する問題点に着目してなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、既存の車両に容易に設置できる無線警告装置を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するため本発明の無線警告装置は、自動車に既設の方向指示装置のランプと代替可能であり、ランプ通電時に無線信号を発信することができるランプ一体型発信部と、発信部から発信された信号を受信する受信部および受信部からの出力に応じて任意の報知動作が可能な報知部から成る無線警告装置である。
【0006】
従って、本発明の無線警告装置は、従来のように有線的な接続をすることなく、既存の車両の自動車に既設の方向指示装置のランプと交換するだけで既存の車両に短時間で容易に且つ確実に設置できる。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明を具体化した実施形態について詳細に説明する。
本発明で使用するランプ一体型発信部は、自動車に既設の方向指示装置のランプと代替可能な形状となっている。つまり既設のランプと同一の端子を持ち、既設のランプと同様に係止固定が可能である。
このランプ一体型発信部は、既存のランプと同程度以上のランプ性能を有すると同時に、発信機能を有している。ランプ一体型発信部は、ランプ用の端子を通じ車両から電力が供給されるため、充分な発信能力を持つよう設定できる。
【0008】
ランプ一体型発信部は、ランプに通電されている間、給電され発信機能が働くように設定される。ランプ一体型発信部が発信する電磁波は、受信部が受信できる方式であれば、いずれの波長および方式でも良く、例えば、短波、長波、UHF、VHF、マイクロ波、赤外線、可視光線、音波、超音波などから適宜選択できる。
【0009】
一方、受信部は発信部が発信する電磁波を検知し、報知部を駆動させるための信号を出力する。
報知部は、受信部からの信号に応じて報知動作を行う。報知動作の例としては、ランプ、LED、蛍光管等を発光させて光による報知を行うもの、スピーカーその他の振動装置を振動させて音による報知を行うもの、その他発色や変形等の外観上の変化により第三者の注意を喚起できるものであれば、いずれの方法でも組み合わせて使用することが可能である。
【0010】
受信部、報知部ともバッテリーから電力が供給されている。受信部、報知部、バッテリーは、それぞれ別々とすることもできるが、一体化するのが設置上簡便である。また、バッテリーを補助するため太陽電池等の給電装置を接続することもできる。
【0011】
本発明は実施例に限定されることなく、以下に示すように変更して実施することも可能である。
・発信部にアンテナを設置すること
・ランプから発生する熱の影響を避けるため、発信部を金具部から突出させて配置すること、または熱を遮蔽する措置を行うこと
・発信する電磁波をあらかじめ変調またはデジタル−アナログ変換して発信すること
・受信部にマイコンチップおよび時計機能を組み込むことにより、受信信号および時間に応じて、あらかじめプログラムされた手順で報知部を駆動させるための受信信号を変化させて出力すること
・報知部を金具や磁石等を用いて、ドア、ボンネット、バンパー等に設置すること
【0012】
【実施例】
以下に本発明の無線警告装置の一例を示し、具体的に説明を行う。
図1には本発明のランプ一体型発信部をランプケースに装着した状態が図示されている。ランプの電球部分と金具部分の間には発信部が設けられている。ランプ一体型発信部は、図2に示すように自動車に既設の方向指示装置のランプと代替するだけで短時間で確実に設置できる。
一方、図3には受信部、バッテリーおよび報知部としてのLED発光体をシート状の柔軟な基材に組み込んだものが示されている。本実施例では、さらにLEDの表出した面と反対の面に両面テープを設置することにより、ドアミラー等に張り付けて設置することができる。
【0013】
【発明の効果】
本発明の無線警告装置は、自動車に既設の方向指示装置のランプと代替可能であり、ランプ通電時に無線信号を発信することができるランプ一体型発信部と、発信部から発信された信号を受信する受信部および受信部からの出力に応じて任意の報知動作が可能な報知部から成る無線警告装置であるため、既存の車両に短時間で容易に且つ確実に設置できる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a warning device that issues an alarm in conjunction with an existing direction indicating device when a vehicle turns right or left.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a warning device for notifying an alarm in conjunction with an existing direction indicating device in an automobile, an auxiliary lighting lamp installed on a roof or the like, or a warning device for notifying a right turn or a left turn by voice is known.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in most of the conventional warning devices, the notification unit and the vehicle are connected in a wired manner, and the installation work is heavy. Further, also in the warning device having the transmission unit and the reception unit, the connection method between the transmission unit and the vehicle is wired, and has the same problem.
[0004]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the problems existing in the prior art as described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wireless warning device that can be easily installed in an existing vehicle.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a wireless alarm device of the present invention can be replaced with a lamp of an existing direction indicating device in an automobile, and a lamp-integrated transmitter that can transmit a wireless signal when the lamp is energized; This is a wireless alarm device including a receiving unit that receives a signal transmitted from a wireless communication unit and an informing unit that can perform an arbitrary informing operation according to an output from the receiving unit.
[0006]
Therefore, the wireless warning device of the present invention can be easily and quickly attached to an existing vehicle in a short time only by replacing the lamp of the existing direction indicating device in the vehicle of the existing vehicle without making a wired connection as in the related art. And it can be installed reliably.
[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments embodying the present invention will be described in detail.
The lamp-integrated transmitting unit used in the present invention has a shape that can be substituted for the lamp of the direction indicating device already installed in the automobile. That is, it has the same terminals as the existing lamp, and can be locked and fixed in the same manner as the existing lamp.
This lamp-integrated transmitter has a lamp function that is equal to or better than that of an existing lamp, and also has a transmitter function. Since the lamp-integrated transmitter is supplied with electric power from the vehicle through the terminal for the lamp, it can be set to have a sufficient transmission capability.
[0008]
The lamp-integrated transmitting section is set so that power is supplied and the transmitting function operates while the lamp is energized. The electromagnetic wave transmitted by the lamp-integrated transmitting unit may be of any wavelength and method as long as the receiving unit can receive the signal. It can be appropriately selected from sound waves and the like.
[0009]
On the other hand, the receiving unit detects the electromagnetic wave transmitted by the transmitting unit and outputs a signal for driving the notification unit.
The notification unit performs a notification operation according to a signal from the reception unit. Examples of the notification operation include a lamp, an LED, a fluorescent tube, etc., which emits light to notify by light, a speaker, or other vibration device, which notifies by sound, and other appearances such as coloring and deformation. Any method can be used in combination as long as the change can draw the attention of a third party.
[0010]
Both the receiving unit and the notification unit are supplied with power from the battery. The receiving unit, the notifying unit, and the battery can be separately provided, however, it is convenient to install them integrally. In addition, a power supply device such as a solar cell can be connected to assist the battery.
[0011]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments, but can be modified and implemented as described below.
・ Install an antenna on the transmitting part. ・ To avoid the influence of heat generated from the lamp, place the transmitting part so that it protrudes from the metal fittings, or take measures to shield the heat. ・ Modulate the transmitted electromagnetic wave in advance. Alternatively, by transmitting a digital-analog signal, a microcomputer chip and a clock function are incorporated in the receiving unit, so that the receiving signal for driving the notification unit in a pre-programmed procedure is changed according to the received signal and time. The notification unit is installed on a door, a bonnet, a bumper, or the like using metal fittings, magnets, or the like.
【Example】
Hereinafter, an example of the wireless warning device according to the present invention will be shown and specifically described.
FIG. 1 shows a state in which the lamp-integrated transmitting section of the present invention is mounted on a lamp case. A transmitting part is provided between the bulb part and the metal part of the lamp. As shown in FIG. 2, the lamp-integrated transmitter can be reliably installed in a short time only by replacing the lamp of the existing direction indicating device in the automobile.
On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows a structure in which a receiving section, a battery, and an LED illuminant as a notification section are incorporated in a sheet-like flexible base material. In this embodiment, furthermore, by installing a double-sided tape on the surface opposite to the surface on which the LED is exposed, the LED can be attached to a door mirror or the like.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
The wireless warning device of the present invention can be replaced with a lamp of an existing direction indicating device in an automobile, and can receive a signal transmitted from the transmitting unit, and a lamp-integrated transmitting unit that can transmit a wireless signal when the lamp is energized. Since the wireless warning device includes a receiving unit and a notification unit capable of performing an arbitrary notification operation in accordance with an output from the receiving unit, the wireless warning device can be easily and reliably installed in an existing vehicle in a short time.
