Description

  The present invention relates to an automobile safety system for ensuring the safety of an automobile or a passenger, and more particularly to an automobile safety system using a controller such as a computer.

  In general, an automatic person is often involved in an unexpected trouble. The trouble may occur while the vehicle is stopped, but most of the trouble occurs due to a driver's driving mistake while driving. In addition, it is often caused by an unexpected event such as a traffic accident.

  As one of means for solving this kind of trouble, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 07-019882 (vehicle travel area recognition device and automobile safety device equipped therewith), the travel described on the road There is a vehicle traveling area recognition device that detects a white line of a lane and recognizes the traveling area of the vehicle. In this method, a laser head unit that detects a feature arranged along the road is provided on the side of the road, and when the reference white line that should be used as a reference for the travel area recognition cannot be detected, the feature and the vehicle The travel range of the vehicle is recognized by the relative position of the vehicle. Further, in this method, a safety mechanism that includes such a travel area recognition device, controls the traveling state of the vehicle so as not to deviate from the travel area recognized by the travel area recognition device, or issues a warning to the driver. Is prepared.

Further, as other means, there is a thing related to a safety steering column that can be adjusted in the axial direction, as disclosed in JP-T-2002-514549 (safety steering column, automobile safety system and automobile with safety system and safety method). is there. In this method, the positioning of the steering column can be moved away from the passenger in the axial direction in the event of an accident. Specifically, according to the present invention, the safety steering column lock or stop is first released or lifted in its axial direction by the ignition of a single or first propellant, after which the safety steering column is The action of the first propellant or, if appropriate, another second propellant is used to process away from the driver in the direction of its maximum retracted position.
JP 07-019882 A JP-T-2002-514549

  However, in the former method described above, the travel area recognition device provided with the laser head unit detects the white line of the travel lane marked on the road and recognizes the travel area of the own vehicle. When the reference white line that should be used as a reference for recognition cannot be detected, the laser head unit detects a feature placed along the road on the side of the road, and automatically detects the relative position between the feature and the vehicle. It recognizes the driving range of the car. Therefore, in this method, it is only possible to control the traveling state of the vehicle so as not to deviate from the traveling area recognized by the traveling area recognition device, or to issue a warning to the driver by a safety mechanism.

  Therefore, in the above method, there is an obstacle in front of the vehicle, and when the driver's braking operation is delayed and the vehicle collides with the obstacle, it cannot be dealt with. As a matter of course, this method is completely defenseless against a collision of another vehicle from the rear and a collision of another vehicle from the side.

Moreover, in the case of a normal automobile, if it falls into a lake, a river or a port by mistake, the automobile glass is broken by using a special hammer so that the passenger escapes from the vehicle.
In addition, when approaching a mountain road from an urban area, particularly in a vehicle with a soft suspension, the vehicle may overrun toward the opposite lane when the steering wheel is sharply turned along a sharp curve. If the vehicle collides head-on with an oncoming vehicle, there is a high risk of a major accident.

  On the other hand, in the latter method described above, the safety steering column that can be adjusted in the axial direction enables the safety steering column to move away from the occupant (driver) in the axial direction in the event of an accident. Therefore, although the safety of the occupant can be ensured, there is a fatal problem that the safety of other passengers cannot be ensured.

  Further, in this method, the lock or stop of the safety steering column is released or lifted in the axial direction by the ignition of the first propellant and the second propellant, and the direction of the maximum retracted position away from the driver. Since the safety steering column is moved to the same position, the safety steering column or the first propellant and the second propellant are replaced once they are used, as in the case of airbags that are currently mainstream. This will cause the problem of having to.

  Thus, in the background art, a problem to be solved is that the safety of the vehicle and the passenger cannot be sufficiently ensured when an unexpected trouble occurs.

  The present invention detects a vehicle operating state and a passenger's driving state by a vehicle state detecting device having a function of simultaneously detecting at least one dangerous state by a detector with respect to the vehicle operating state and the passenger's driving state. In addition, a signal from the vehicle state detection device is input to a controller such as a computer, and the safety device having at least one or more actuators is operated by the controller to ensure the safety of the vehicle and the passenger. It is a feature.

  The present invention can detect the operation state of the vehicle and the driving state of the passenger by the detector of the vehicle state detection device. Further, the controller can detect the dangerous state of the vehicle and the passenger by calculating and analyzing the signal from the vehicle state detection device. And in this invention, since the actuator of a safety device can be operated by the said controller based on said danger signal, there exists an advantage that it becomes possible to ensure the safety | security of a vehicle and a passenger. is there.

The vehicle state detection device includes, as a detector, a sensor for measuring various physical quantities, a radar using a microwave, a radar using a laser beam, a camera, a gyroscope, and the like. Efficient detection of the passenger's driving condition was realized.
In addition, the controller calculates and analyzes the signal from the detector at high speed, thereby realizing software replacement of complicated hardware such as a control electric circuit, and the vehicle operating state for the occupant and Realized the visual display of passengers.
The safety device is equipped with various electric motors, ultrasonic motors, hydraulic / pneumatic motors, hydraulic / pneumatic cylinders, etc. as actuators, thereby ensuring the safety of vehicles and passengers. Realized.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

One embodiment of a vehicle safety system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of one embodiment of an automobile safety system according to the present invention.
It is a block chart of main components.
The automobile safety system according to the present invention comprises a vehicle state detection device 1, a controller 2, and a safety device 3, as shown in FIG.

  The vehicle state detection device 1 has various detectors 10. Here, the detector 10 refers to various sensors 11 for detecting a vehicle accelerator opening, an engine crank angle, an engine speed, a cam angle, and the like, a traveling radar 12, and the like. The signals of these sensors 11 are processed by the controller 2 and displayed on the display of the controller 2 in a form that can be recognized by the driver. Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the traveling radar 12 is fixed to the upper surface of the vehicle roof 94 and has a 360-degree angle search range. Specifically, the traveling radar 12 includes four microwave transmitting / receiving antennas 121, 122, 123, and 124 that reciprocate at a constant angular velocity within a predetermined angle of 90 degrees. These microwave transmission / reception antennas 121, 122, 123, 124 are connected to the controller 2 via the vehicle state detection device 1. The range information is processed.

  The controller 2 includes a storage device, an arithmetic circuit, and a display for displaying the calculation result. The vehicle state, particularly the dangerous state, is displayed on the display. The controller 2 knows the size of the vehicle, and has a function of always displaying the situation around the vehicle, particularly the distance between the vehicle and the surrounding obstacle. In addition, the controller 2 generates a blind spot when an alarm is sounded or the vehicle travels along a narrow corner when the driver mistakenly operates the steering wheel and the vehicle tries to contact an obstacle on the side. When an alarm is sounded to avoid contact between the front left corner of the vehicle and the obstacle, or when the vehicle tries to contact an oncoming vehicle while traveling in a narrow passage, the contact with the oncoming vehicle cannot be avoided. In addition, it has a function of sounding an alarm in consideration of the passage width.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the safety device 3 includes actuators 311 and 321 that operate for ensuring safety in response to a signal from the controller 2, and a drive source 312 that operates these actuators 311 and 321. Have. When the controller 2 analyzes the signal from the traveling radar 12 and makes a determination that the safety in front of the vehicle or the rear of the vehicle is concerned, the controller 2 controls the actuators 311 and 321. The signal is sent. As shown in FIG. 1, the actuator 311 is integrated with the safety device 3 and the drive source 312 to constitute an impact absorbing device 310 for reducing the impact at the front of the vehicle in an emergency. Similarly, the actuator 321 is integrated with the safety device 3 and the drive source 312 to constitute an impact absorbing device 320 for reducing the impact at the rear of the vehicle in an emergency.

As shown in FIG. 4, the actuator 311 is arranged at the front of the vehicle toward the front of the vehicle, and is constituted by a fluid cylinder. In the present embodiment, the shock absorbing device 310 is disposed at the front part of the vehicle in this way. Normally, the front part of the vehicle often collides with an obstacle when the vehicle is inadvertently driven by the driver. Because.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the actuator 311 includes a cylinder 311 a formed in a cylindrical shape, and a receiving member 311 b that is inserted into the cylinder 311 a so as to freely advance and retract. Although not shown, the receiving member 311b includes a spool that is slidably inserted into the cylinder 311a, a rod that extends from the spool, an impact receiver 311c that is fixed to the tip of the rod, It is made of a cushioning material such as rubber integrally formed on the surface of the impact receiver 311c. The actuator 311 is connected to a drive source 312 for moving the spool forward and backward. Although not shown, the drive source 312 includes an air pump for generating high-pressure air and a pressure accumulator connected to the air pump, and the air pump is rotationally driven by power from an engine or the like. I am doing so.

  An actuator 321 having a fluid cylinder structure similar to that of the actuator 311 is also arranged at the rear of the vehicle so as to face the rear of the vehicle. This arrangement also takes into account the fact that usually the following vehicle often inadvertently collides with the rear of the vehicle. Specifically, the actuator 321 includes a cylinder 321a and a receiving member 321b, like the actuator 311. Although not shown, the receiving member 321b includes a spool, a rod, and an impact receiver, and a shock absorbing material 321c is formed integrally with the impact receiver. The actuator 321 shares the actuator 311 and the drive source 312. The connection between the actuators 311 and 321 and the drive source 312 is switched by the control valves 313 and 323 interposed on the connection paths.

2, 4, and 5, 91 represents an obstacle, 97 represents a headlamp, 98 represents a GPS antenna, and 99 represents a tire.
The GPS antenna 98 is connected to a GPS receiving unit for car navigation. The controller 2 operates as a navigation control unit for receiving a signal from a GPS receiving unit (not shown), a direction sensor, or the like and functioning as car navigation. The controller 2 also has an engine start function by a remote controller at home or a mobile phone.

Next, the operation and effect of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
Usually, a driver driving a vehicle is always at risk of accidents. If you accidentally turn around a passenger, such as a lover or family while driving, of course, especially in recent years, with the spread of mobile phones, you are crazy about mobile phones while driving. As a result, attention to the front of the vehicle tends to be neglected.
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, when an obstacle 91 is present in front of the vehicle and the driver overlooks the obstacle 91 due to carelessness as described above, the vehicle state detection device 1 travels. The radar 12 detects the obstacle 91 and measures basic data such as a distance to the obstacle 91. This type of information is sent as a signal to the vehicle state detection device 1, and the vehicle state detection device 1 detects the obstacle 91. Then, the signal is sent from the vehicle state detection device 1 to the controller 2, and the controller 2 is in a state of recognizing information related to the obstacle 91, particularly the shape, size, and type of the obstacle 91. .

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the traveling radar 12 described above recognizes an obstacle 91 in front of a vehicle mainly by a microwave transmission / reception antenna 121. As the controller 2 scans in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction at a constant angular velocity over a 90-degree angle, the angular velocity becomes 0 at around 0 degrees and around 90 of the microwave transmission / reception antenna 121. Data correction is performed by an internal arithmetic circuit of the controller 2. When the object to be recognized by the traveling radar 121 exists across the microwave transmission / reception antennas 121, 122, and 124, the signals of the three microwave transmission / reception antennas 121, 122, and 124 are combined to generate one signal. The data is corrected so that

  On the other hand, the controller 2 performs basic information management such as the vehicle speed based on information such as the engine speed read from the sensor 11 of the vehicle state detection device 1. When a brake operation is requested by sending an alarm signal to the vehicle, and it is determined that a collision with the obstacle 91 is unavoidable even by the brake operation in relation to the vehicle braking distance calculated from the vehicle speed. Then, a control signal for operating the shock absorbing device 310 is sent to the safety device 3.

  In the impact absorbing device 310, as shown in FIG. 5, the control valve 313 is operated to rapidly feed the working fluid from the drive source 312 to the actuator 311. As a result, when colliding with the obstacle 91, the receiving member 311b protrudes from the cylinder 311a, and the impact receiver 311c of the receiving member 311b comes into contact with the obstacle 91. The actuator 311 acts as a kind of damper as the vehicle moves forward, and begins to absorb the impact transmitted to the receiving member 311b.

In this way, after absorbing the impact from the obstacle 91, the controller 2 sends a control signal to the impact absorbing device 310, operates the control valve 313 again, and moves the receiving member 311b of the actuator 311 to the cylinder 311a. Retract inside.
As described above, the impact caused by the obstacle 91 in front of the vehicle in an emergency can be absorbed, so that the vehicle passengers including the driver can drive the vehicle with peace of mind.
In the present embodiment, the obstacle in front of the vehicle has been described. However, even if the succeeding vehicle behind the vehicle is about to collide with the rear part of the own vehicle due to a drowsy driving or the like, the impact absorbing device described above is used. The same operation as 310 is also performed in the impact absorbing device 320 at the rear of the vehicle. As a result, it is possible to efficiently absorb or mitigate the impact on the own vehicle by the following vehicle.

In this embodiment, the controller 2 can also start the engine with a dedicated remote controller. Furthermore, since the controller 2 shares the OS with the mobile phone, the engine can be started even from the mobile phone. Such a function is particularly effective when it is difficult to get up from the bed, such as in the early morning of the very cold winter.
Furthermore, the controller 2 shown in the present embodiment has a car navigation function, and a signal transmitted from the communication hygiene in the sky is received by the GPS antenna 98 disposed on the vehicle, and the controller 2 2 is displayed on the display by a car navigation function including an internal GPS receiving unit 2 and a direction sensor.

  Therefore, by using the car navigation function of the controller 2, it is possible to avoid the traffic congestion and reach the destination even when the land is known for the first time. . Furthermore, when there are a plurality of stops, and all stops must be visited in one day, all the stops are input to the controller 2 in advance so that the arithmetic circuit of the controller 2 can be operated. The shortest distance can be calculated using this, and combined with the synergistic effect of the car navigation function, it is possible to avoid a traffic jam and travel all of a plurality of stops in a short time. Such usage is a particularly effective means for commercial vehicles.

An embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
The automobile safety system according to the present embodiment uses a traveling radar 13 as a detector instead of the traveling radar 12.
As shown in FIG. 6, the traveling radar 13 includes a plurality of laser radars 131, 132, 133, and 134 that reciprocate at a constant angular velocity within a predetermined angle range. In this embodiment, the predetermined angle is set to 90 degrees. As shown in FIG. 7, the laser radar 131 includes a cylindrical housing 131a, a multipurpose laser oscillator 131b fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the housing 131a, and a reflecting mirror 131c disposed at the bottom of the housing 131a. The reflecting mirror 131d disposed opposite to the reflecting mirror 131c, the infrared sensor 131e disposed in the center of the reflecting mirror 131c, and the housing 131a are rotated in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction within a predetermined range. And a scanning device 131f. The structures of the other laser radars 132, 133, and 134 are the same as the structure of the laser radar 131.

The laser oscillator 131b has two types of light emission sources having different frequencies, and switches between near infrared rays and middle infrared rays depending on humidity in response to a control signal from the controller 2. The vehicle state detection device 1 includes a sensor 111 as a detector that detects humidity for performing this switching.
The infrared sensor 131e is connected to the vehicle state detection device 1, and sends a detected signal from the vehicle state detection device 1 to the controller 2.
The scanning device 131f is connected to the controller 2. In the controller 2, a program is assembled so that the scanning device 131f efficiently captures the detection target.
Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

Since the present invention has the structure as described above, the following specific actions and effects are produced.
In general, the laser light is greatly attenuated by weather conditions such as fog and rain. However, in the present invention, a humidity signal detected by the sensor 111 of the vehicle state detection device 1 is sent to the controller 2 in order to In response to the control signal from the controller 2, the frequency of the laser oscillator 131b is switched depending on the weather. Therefore, the obstacle 91 can be reliably captured by the traveling radar 13 regardless of the weather conditions.
Further, as described above, the captured obstacle 91 can scan the laser radar 131 by focusing on only the obstacle 91 by operating the scanning device 131f within a narrow range under the control of the controller 2. Therefore, it is possible to grasp the entire image of the obstacle 91 in a short time.

The invention according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
In the present invention, cameras 141 and 142 as detectors are connected to the vehicle state detection device 1 instead of the traveling radar 12 of the first embodiment. The camera 141 is disposed in the front part of the vehicle and includes a pair of left and right camera units 141L and 141R. On the other hand, the camera 142 is disposed in the rear part of the vehicle and includes a pair of left and right camera units 142L and 142R. These camera units 141L, 141R, 142L, and 142R are connected to the controller 2, and are controlled by the controller 2 so as to be rotatable in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, respectively. These devices are used to measure the distance to the object based on the principle of binocular stereoscopic vision. In FIG. 8, θ represents a horizontal plane angle formed by the camera units 141L and 141R in front of the vehicle and the obstacle 91, and in FIG. 9, φ represents a vertical plane angle (a depression angle or an elevation angle).
Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

The operation and effect of the present invention will be described.
In the present invention, using the principle of binocular stereoscopic vision, the obstacle 91 is captured by the pair of left and right camera units 141L and 141R, the distance to the obstacle 91 is measured, and the image of the front view is displayed inside the vehicle. It can be displayed on the display. This is a particularly effective means when the vehicle height is low and it is difficult to ensure a sufficient front view, such as a high-speed sports car called a so-called “supercar”.
Other operations and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

The invention according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the present invention, instead of the traveling radar 12 of the first embodiment, cameras 151 and 152 as detectors using stereo adapters can be rotated in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively at the front and rear of the vehicle. The two cameras 151 and 152 are connected to the vehicle state detection device 1.
Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

The operation and effect of the present invention will be described.
In the present invention, since the cameras 151 and 152 using the stereo adapter are used, the number of parts can be reduced. As a result, the cost can be reduced as compared with the third embodiment described above.

The invention according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 11, in place of the above-described shock absorbers 310 and 320, the shock absorber 330 is movably disposed at an arbitrary position on the bottom of the vehicle and is rotated to the disposed position. It is pivotally attached. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, a pair of left and right vertical guides 330a are laid along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at the bottom of the vehicle, and straddle between the two vertical guides 330a and 330a. The horizontal guide 330b is horizontally mounted. The horizontal guide 330b and the vertical guides 330a and 330a are engaged by a rack and pinion mechanism (not shown) so that the horizontal guide 330B can move forward and backward along the vertical guides 330a and 330a by the operation of the actuator 330k. It has become.

The horizontal guide 330b is also meshed with the same rack and pinion mechanism so that the rotation support base 330c can move forward and backward along the horizontal guide 330b. These pinions are driven to rotate by an actuator (not shown) through the control of the controller 2, and the forward and backward movement is made possible by this rotational drive.
The shock absorber 330 is pivotally attached to the rotation support base 330c by a pivot 330d.

  The shock absorbing device 330 has an actuator 330e that is rotated by the controller 2 in response to a signal from the vehicle state detecting device 1 described above. The shock absorbing device 330 has a clutch mechanism 330f as a rotation angle fixing means for fixing the device itself to an arbitrary rotation angle. The clutch mechanism 330f is connected to the controller 2.

A body case 330g is rotatably attached to the rotation support base 330c via the clutch mechanism 330f, and an actuator 330h connected to a drive source (not shown) is mounted inside the body case 330g. It is. The actuator 330h has a receiving member 330i that moves forward and backward. The receiving member 330i has an impact receiver 330j at its tip.
Other structures are the same as those of the first embodiment.

Next, functions and effects of the present invention will be described in detail.
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 11, when the vehicle passes through a narrow bent passage at night, it is particularly effective in the sense that the body on the left side of the vehicle is protected.
Usually, in a right-hand drive vehicle, since the headlamp 97 only illuminates only the front, it is difficult to secure the left field of view of the vehicle at night. As a result, even if the vehicle is driven extremely slowly, if the left body of the vehicle comes into contact with the corner portion 911 of the obstacle 91, an excessive local stress acts from the momentum due to the weight of the vehicle itself. . Therefore, even if the driver thinks that there is very little contact, if the vehicle is forcibly passed through such a passage, of course, even if the vehicle is turned back and the steering wheel is turned back, the vehicle will be damaged greatly. This is often received and this is well known from experience.

In the present invention, when a dangerous state as shown in FIG. 11 occurs, the traveling radar 12 of the vehicle state detection device 1 detects the corner 911 of the obstacle 91 in the passage, and the vehicle The state detection device 1 is in a state where a danger signal is output to the controller 2 described above. As a result, the controller 2 instructs the safety device 3 to operate the shock absorbing device 330.
The shock absorber 330 receives a signal from the controller 2, and an actuator (not shown) is first actuated to smoothly move the rotation support base 330c of the shock absorber 330 to the left side of the vehicle and to rotate the actuator 330e. Due to the dynamic driving force, the rotation support base 330 c rotates and faces the obstacle 91. In this state, the clutch mechanism 330f operates to fix the rotation angle of the rotation support base 330c, so that the above-described facing state is firmly held.

When the driver forcibly tries to pass through the passage in the above-described state, the receiving member of the shock absorbing device 330 comes into contact with the corner portion 911 of the obstacle 91. It can be recognized that the condition is dangerous, and the vehicle can be stopped before the vehicle body is hit hard.
In the present embodiment, a sensor for detecting contact with the obstacle 91 is not attached to the shock absorbing device 330, but it goes without saying that a greater risk avoidance effect can be obtained by attaching this type of sensor. Yes.

The present invention is particularly effective when the obstacle 91 is inclined with respect to the vehicle, as can be seen by comparing FIG. 13 and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 14, in the case of the configuration as in the first embodiment, when the impact absorbing device 310 and the obstacle 91 are in contact with the force F with the horizontal plane angle θ, the impact absorbing device 310 is provided. However, as a result of trying to rotate counterclockwise about the fulcrum P, a moment M of force is generated. As a result, excessive stress is applied to the main body of the shock absorbing device 310, causing a failure of the shock absorbing device 310.

On the other hand, in the case of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 13, since the obstacle 91 and the shock absorbing device 330 are in surface contact, the force F acts uniformly on the contact surface with the obstacle 91. Thus, excessive stress is not applied to the shock absorbing device 330.
Furthermore, in the present invention, for example, as shown in the above-described fourth embodiment, a single shock absorber 330 is provided as compared with the case where four shock absorbers are arranged on the front and rear portions of the vehicle and on the left and right sides of the vehicle. Only with this, the same effect can be obtained. As a result, it is possible to greatly reduce the number of parts, and as a result, obtain a great merit that it leads to a significant cost reduction.

The invention according to this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 15, the above-described vehicle state detection device 1 serves as a detector, in addition to the sensor 11, a sensor 112 that detects abnormal water pressure, and a vehicle window glass 95 surrounding the window glass 95. And a sensor 113 for detecting the pressure state. Here, the condition of “abnormal water pressure” is to prevent the vehicle state detection device 1 from malfunctioning due to rebounding of rainwater by a tire or the like during normal rainy driving. The reason why the “pressure condition around the window glass 95 of the vehicle” is a condition is that if the window glass is suddenly opened in a state where the window glass 95 has been submerged, a risk to the passenger is caused.

Further, in the present invention, the safety device 3 includes a window opening / closing device 340 that lifts and lowers the window glass 95 on both sides of the vehicle separately from the power window device. It is connected to the controller 2.
The window opening / closing device 340 includes an actuator 341 for raising and lowering the window glass 95 and a drive source 342 for driving the actuator 341.
In this embodiment, an air fluid cylinder is used as the actuator 341. Further, an air compressor and a pressure accumulator are used as the drive source 342. The actuator 341 forcibly operates a link mechanism that raises and lowers the window glass by the pressure of high-pressure air stored in the accumulator. This drive source 342 may be shared with the drive source 312 described above.
Note that a pneumatic motor may be used as the actuator. Further, the hydraulic motor may be operated after housing the drive source in the housing so that the drive source is not flooded.

By the way, in this invention, in order to improve the durability with respect to the impact to the windshield 96 at the time of vehicle water entering, the reinforcement fiber 41 is embed | buried inside this windshield 96. FIG. The reinforcing fiber 41 may be a synthetic metal fiber in addition to a normal metal wire, but when a load due to an impact is applied to the entire surface of the windshield 96, while ensuring a certain strength, Needless to say, the strength of the reinforcing fiber 41 needs to be set so that the windshield 96 is broken when a local load is applied.
Although not shown, the vehicle ventilation hole is provided with a shielding lid that rapidly closes the ventilation hole, and the shielding lid is operated by the controller 2 that receives the signal from the sensor 112. It is supposed to be.
Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

Next, functions and effects of the present invention will be described in detail.
As shown in Fig. 15, when a driver mistakenly drives a vehicle and falls into a lake, river or harbor, a short circuit occurs in the electric system. Therefore, in the case of a vehicle equipped with a power window, the passenger However, there are many cases of drowning without opening the window glass. For this reason, usually, the window glass is broken using a special hammer so that the passenger can escape in an emergency.
However, special hammers such as those described above are often handled only by auto parts stores, and are often unfamiliar with the hammers, or inadvertently escaping outside the vehicle, resulting in drowning.

In the present invention, as described above, the actuator 341 is connected to the drive source 342 having an accumulator, and the actuator 341 is operated by the high-pressure working fluid in the accumulator. It is possible to avoid the worst case of drowning because the window opening / closing motor does not operate due to an electrical short circuit.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the sensor 112 first detects the water 92 having an abnormal water pressure while the vehicle floats in the water 92 at the water level L. At this point, the controller 2 recognizes that the vehicle has dropped into the water.
Further, the sensor 113 detects the pressure situation around the window glass 95 and the controller 2 recognizes that the window glass 95 has not yet been submerged.

The controller 2 comprehensively judges these information and recognizes that it is necessary to open the window glass 95 urgently, and the working fluid from the drive source 342 to the actuator 341 of the safety device 3. Issue a command to send As a result, the actuator 341 moves forward and backward to open the window glass 95 via the link mechanism.
As described above, the actuator 341 is operated using the working fluid to forcibly operate the link mechanism, so that the window opening / closing device 340 is reliably operated regardless of the electrical system. be able to.
As a result, it has become possible to eradicate drowning caused by falling into rivers.

The invention according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In the above-described embodiment 6, when the vehicle accidentally falls into a lake, a river, or the like, an attempt was made to escape the passenger from the window glass. It is intended to escape the passenger. Therefore, instead of the sensor 113 for detecting the pressure situation around the window glass 95 described above, the sensor 114 as a detector detects the pressure situation on the roof of the vehicle.

Therefore, in the present invention, the above-described vehicle state detection device 1 includes the sensor 112 that detects an abnormal water pressure and the sensor 114 that detects the pressure state on the roof of the vehicle. Further, the safety device 3 described above includes a seat lifting / lowering device 350 disposed in the vehicle interior of the vehicle, and an escape opening / closing device 360 disposed on the vehicle roof 94 in correspondence with the seat lifting / lowering device 350.
The seat elevating device 350 is disposed directly below the seat seat 93 in the vehicle, and the seat elevating device 350 moves the seat seat 93 up and down. The seat elevating device 350 is connected to the controller 2 described above, and the seat slidable 93 can be raised and lowered by operating the actuator 351 of the seat elevating device 350 by sending a control signal from the controller 2. . The actuator 351 is connected to a drive source 352 for operating it. Needless to say, the drive source 352 may be the same as the drive source 312 described above, and by doing so, the parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

Examples of this type of actuator 351 include those using a screw mechanism and those using a working fluid such as pneumatic or hydraulic. However, the actuator 351 is preferably a pneumatic type without electrical short. In the case of an electrical short due to water immersion, it is necessary to cover the actuator 351 and its drive source with a waterproof housing.
Also in the present invention, the reinforcing fiber 41 similar to that of the above-described sixth embodiment is embedded in the windshield 96, and a shielding lid (not shown) is attached to the ventilation hole, and the shielding lid is the controller. 2 is activated.

The roof 94 of the vehicle has an emergency exit 361 for allowing the passenger to escape outside the vehicle in an emergency, corresponding to the seat lifting device 350, and the emergency exit 361 includes the escape exit 361. An outlet opening / closing device 360 is provided to be freely opened and closed. Although not shown, the escape opening and closing device 360 incorporates a wire-driven actuator for opening and closing the door. Note that this type of actuator may be a timing belt drive type.
The seat elevating device 350 and the exit opening / closing device 360 are connected and interlocked. Further, the seat elevating device 350 and the exit / exit opening / closing device 360 are connected to the sensors 112 and 114 of the vehicle state detection device 1 via the controller 2.
Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

Next, functions and effects of the present invention will be described in detail.
In the present invention, as in the above-described sixth embodiment, when a vehicle accidentally falls into a lake, a river, or the like, the sensor 112 first detects an abnormal water pressure, and the signal is sent to the controller 2. . At this point, the controller 2 recognizes that the vehicle has dropped into the water.
Next, the pressure state on the roof 94 of the vehicle is detected by the sensor 114, and whether or not the vehicle is completely submerged, or the vehicle body is unstable immediately after the vehicle jumps into the water. Is determined comprehensively by the controller 2 from the information of the two pressure sensors 114 and 116.

And in the said controller 2, as shown in FIG. 16, when it is judged that the vehicle floats on the water 92 and the emergency exit 361 disposed on the roof 94 may be opened, A control signal is sent from the controller 2 to the seat elevating device 350 and the escape opening / closing device 360 to operate the actuator 351 of the seat elevating device 350, and the actuator of the escape opening / closing device 360 is also operated in conjunction with it. .
As a result, the seat sheet 93 rises and the passenger can easily escape from the emergency exit 361 to the outside of the vehicle. This is particularly effective for a family car where a small child is a passenger.

The invention according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the present invention is an improved vehicle suspension, and the safety device 3 described above has a variable suspension 370. The variable suspension 370 is fixed to a vehicle tire housing 991 and has an actuator 371 for adjusting the hardness of the suspension in a stepless manner.
In order for the variable suspension 370 to perform the above-mentioned stepless adjustment in accordance with the state on the road, the vehicle state detection device 1 includes a sensor 115 for detecting the road surface state as a detector. A sensor 116 for detecting the load state of the suspension is connected, and the controller 2 performs optimum control of the actuator 371 according to various road conditions.

Examples of the sensor 115 for detecting the road surface state described above include a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. This is because the difference in grip force between the road surface and the tire in the change of weather is taken into consideration.
Further, as the sensor 116 for detecting the load state of the suspension, there is a displacement detector such as a differential transformer, which makes it possible to detect subtle displacement of the vertical movement of the suspension caused by road surface unevenness or during sharp curve driving. The vehicle inclination can be taken into the controller 2 as an electrical signal.

As shown in FIG. 18, the actuator 371 includes a cylinder 371a formed in a cylindrical shape, a piston 371b fitted into the cylinder 371a so as to be able to advance and retract, and a tire housing 991 and a tire link mechanism 372. The main spring 371c is mounted, and the adjustment secondary spring 371d is interposed between the lower end of the piston 371b and the tire link mechanism 372. A cylinder chamber 371h is formed between the piston 371b and the inner wall surface of the cylinder 371a.
The cylinder 371a is provided with a plurality of through holes 371e, and these through holes 371e are connected to a drive source 371g via a control valve 371f, and these operations are performed via the controller 2. By doing so, the amount of the working fluid inside the cylinder chamber 371h is finely adjusted.
Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

Next, functions and effects of the present invention will be described in detail.
In general, the grip force of the tire 99 on the road surface varies greatly depending on the weather such as when it is fine, rainy, and snowing. This characteristic is a matter to be considered when the vehicle is traveling at a high speed along a sharp curve. Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 17, the weather during vehicle travel is comprehensively determined inside the controller 2 using various signal data of the sensor 115. When the controller 2 detects the road surface state based on the weather determination and determines that the grip force of the tire 99 is in a dangerous state, the controller 2 displays the fact on the display in the vehicle and is variable. A control signal for escaping the dangerous state is sent to the suspension 370.

On the other hand, when the tire 99 moves up and down violently due to road surface unevenness, the vertical movement of the tire 99 becomes the vertical displacement of the tire link mechanism 92 and is read by the sensor 116. As a result, the controller 2 is in a state of recognizing that the vehicle is traveling on a so-called “bad road” with severe unevenness.
In addition, when the vehicle is traveling at a high speed on a sharp curve, a large centrifugal force acts on the vehicle, and the vehicle is greatly inclined in the centrifugal force direction. In such a state, if the brake is stepped on and suddenly decelerated, the tire 99 slips, and there is a risk that the vehicle will jump out to the opposite lane due to the centrifugal force. In general, a high-end vehicle with a soft suspension has a tendency that the inclination of the vehicle due to centrifugal force is large and the cornering is poor as compared with a sports type vehicle with a hard suspension.

In the present invention, as described above, when a force that greatly tilts the vehicle is applied, the controller 2 operates the variable suspension 370 to set the suspension of the vehicle as shown in FIG. It is.
Specifically, when the vehicle tilts and one side of the vehicle sinks greatly in the R direction, the sensor 116 detects the displacement and informs the vehicle state detection device 1 of the displacement amount. The signal is sent from the vehicle state detection device 1 to the controller 2, and the controller 2 recognizes that it is necessary to correct the inclination of the vehicle.

Based on the recognition, the controller 2 issues a command to the control valve 371f to send the working fluid from the drive source 371g to the cylinder chamber 371h. As a result, the piston 371b is lowered by the pressure of the working fluid, and the sub spring 371d is compressed.
In general, in a linear spring system element, as shown in the following formula, the external force and the deformation amount are kept constant within the elastic limit.
Therefore, since the external force and the amount of deformation are proportional, when the auxiliary spring 371d is compressed as in the present invention, the tire link mechanism 372 is pressed by the corresponding strong external force.

In this way, when the impact F3 is further applied to the secondary spring while maintaining a strong pressing force, as shown in the above equation, assuming that the deformation amount of the secondary spring is the same, after adjustment, Since the secondary spring is compressed with a larger spring constant than before adjustment, the variable spring exhibits the characteristics of a hard suspension, and the running performance of the vehicle during cornering is greatly improved. .
Therefore, according to the variable suspension according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve a flexible suspension according to the road condition.

The invention according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 20, the present invention uses a variable suspension 381 using a screw type actuator 381a instead of the working fluid type actuator 371 in the variable suspension 370 described above.

When the vehicle suspension needs to be strengthened, in FIG. 20, a control signal is sent to the safety device via a controller (not shown), so that the drive source 381b is driven and the screw portion 381m of the actuator 381a is moved to the right screw. Rotate in the direction. As a result, the threaded portion 381m is lowered to push down the piston 371b and compress the auxiliary spring 371d.
Therefore, a flexible suspension can be obtained in the same manner as in Example 8 described above.

The invention according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 21, the variable suspension 382 according to the present invention has an improved suspension damper function by using an actuator 382a instead of the actuator 371 of the variable suspension 370 described above.
The actuator 382a has a main piston 382b and a sub piston 382c, and the inside thereof is partitioned by the main piston 382b and the sub piston 382c.

A cylinder chamber 382d is defined between the main piston 382b and the sub piston 382c. In addition, a cylinder chamber 382e is defined between the top plate of the cylinder 382f and the sub piston 382c.
The cylinder chambers 382d and 382e are connected to the control valve 371f and the drive source 371g through a plurality of through holes 382i.
Other configurations are the same as those of the eighth embodiment.

Next, functions and effects of the present invention will be described.
In the present invention, while the working fluid inside the cylinder chamber 382d is kept as it is, by sending high pressure working fluid from the drive source 371g to the cylinder chamber 382e, the sub piston 382c is pushed down, and the cylinder chamber 382d The internal working fluid will be compressed.
As a result, the main piston 382b also moves down in conjunction with the sub-piston 382c, compresses the sub-spring 371d, and the hardness of the vehicle suspension can be changed.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, as described above, the sub piston 382c compresses the working fluid inside the cylinder chamber 382d, thereby obtaining a state in which the pressure increases as the volume decreases in accordance with Boyle's law. Can do. As a result, the damper function of the suspension can be slightly changed, and a fine flexible suspension can be provided by a synergistic effect with the auxiliary spring 371d.

The invention according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
In the tenth embodiment described above, the secondary piston 382c is pressurized using the working fluid. However, in this embodiment, the secondary piston 382c is to be pressurized using a screw mechanism instead of the working fluid. is there.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 22, the variable suspension 383 according to the present invention uses an actuator 383a and a drive source 383b instead of the control valve 371f and the drive source 371g of the variable suspension 382 described above.

The actuator 383a has a screw portion 383m, and the screw portion 383m is screwed to the top plate of the cylinder 382f. The tip of the threaded portion 383m is in contact with the above-described auxiliary piston 382c. The drive source 383b is connected to the actuator 383a, and the drive source 383b is operated by the controller 2 described above.
A gas medium such as air that changes volume and pressure in accordance with Boyle's law is stored in the cylinder chamber 382d.
Other configurations are the same as those of the tenth embodiment.

Next, functions and effects of the present invention will be described.
When it is necessary to strengthen the suspension of the vehicle, in FIG. 22, a control signal is sent to the safety device via a controller (not shown), so that the drive source 381b is driven and the screw portion 383m of the actuator 383a is moved to the right screw. Rotate in the direction. As a result, the screw portion 383m is lowered to push down the sub piston 382c, compressing the gas medium inside the cylinder chamber 382d and compressing the sub spring 371d.
Therefore, also in the present embodiment, a flexible suspension having a damper effect can be obtained as in the above-described ninth embodiment.

The invention according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the present invention, even when the vehicle loses balance by losing some of the wheels, etc., the vehicle balance can be corrected and if the vehicle has at least three wheels remaining, the vehicle can continue to run. It is what I did.
Accordingly, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, a balance correcting device 390 that receives a signal from the controller 2 described above and corrects the weight balance of the vehicle is disposed at the bottom of the vehicle. The balance correction device 390 has a balance weight 394.

The balance weight 394 is fixed to a support base 393, and the support base 393 is engaged with the lateral guide 392 through a rack and pinion mechanism so as to be able to advance and retract in the width direction of the vehicle.
The horizontal guide 392 is horizontally mounted on a vertical guide 391 laid in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and is engaged with the vertical guide 391 through a rack and pinion mechanism so as to freely advance and retract.
The support base 393 and the lateral guide 392 are moved forward and backward by the operation of an actuator 396 that receives a signal from the controller 2, and the controller 2 uses a balance weight fixed to the support base 393 as a vehicle. A program or an arithmetic circuit is set so that the weight balance is moved in the direction of correcting the weight balance.
Note that the above-mentioned advance / retreat movement is also possible by using a wire, a timing belt, or the like instead of the rack and pinion mechanism.

In the present invention, the above-described vehicle state detection device 1 includes the sensor 116 and the gyroscope 16 as a balance detection sensor that detects that the weight balance state of the vehicle is abnormal.
The sensor 116 has the same structure as that of the above-described eighth embodiment, and here, a differential transformer is used.
Other configurations are the same as those of the eighth embodiment.

Next, functions and effects of the present invention will be described in detail.
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 26, when the vehicle is largely inclined in the centrifugal force direction by the inclination angle Φ, the inclination displacement d (hereinafter, the displacement due to the inclination is referred to as “inclination displacement”) is detected by the sensor 116. Detected.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 25, the inclination displacement d is extracted as an output voltage by the sensor 116 shown in the eighth embodiment.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 26, when the vehicle is greatly inclined to the right by the inclination angle Φ and the right side of the vehicle is sunk by the inclination displacement d, the inclination angle Φ is equal to the inclination displacement d and the following expression: It can be calculated from the width dimension of the tread W by an inverse trigonometric function.

  This kind of calculation is performed in the controller 2. At the same time, the gyroscope 16 also detects the vehicle angular velocity, and the controller 2 needs to comprehensively judge this information to correct the vehicle weight balance in terms of vehicle motion characteristics. In some cases, the control signal is transmitted to the balance correction device 390 via the safety device 3 described above.

  In the balance correcting device 390, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the actuators 395 and 396 are operated to move the balance weight 394 to the optimum position. As a result, even if one of the tires 99 is lost due to unforeseen troubles, the vehicle is subjected to provisional measures such as confirmation of the fault location and removal of faulty parts that hinder running. And you can move to the repair shop.

Needless to say, the present invention can achieve a greater effect in terms of weight balance of the vehicle when applied to a midship vehicle.
In addition, passengers of this type of vehicle have many so-called VIPs (key persons). To further improve the safety of passengers, the vehicle body and tire itself, for example, Kevlar fiber It is desirable to integrally form reinforcing fibers such as.

The invention according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 27 and 28. FIG.

Other configurations are the same as those of the eighth embodiment.

Next, functions and effects of the present invention will be described.
In general, when driving at night, the headlamps face the front of the vehicle, so both sides of the vehicle are blind spots for the driver and are hardly visible. In particular, when a beginner driver travels on an unknown land in a vehicle at night, if both sides of the vehicle become blind spots, there is a risk of causing an unexpected accident.
For example, when the road suddenly bends in the shape of a key from the middle, the vehicle may go straight by mistake and the vehicle may fall. Also, when turning left and crossing a narrow bridge, the distance between the vehicle and the railing of the bridge cannot be recognized, and the vehicle may come into contact with the railing of the bridge on the left side. These events are common daily experiences.

In the present invention, when the driver rotates the handle 961, the sensor 117 of the vehicle state detection device 1 detects the rotation direction and rotation angle, and the information is transmitted from the vehicle state detection device 1 to the controller 2. Is done.
In response to this, the controller 2 sends a control signal to the headlamp rotation device 397 of the safety device 3 to rotate the actuator 397a.

  As described above, since the headlamp rotating device 397 rotates in conjunction with the movement of the handle 961, it is possible for the driver to accurately point the headlamp toward the road on which the vehicle is to enter. Become. As a result, a blind spot as in the past does not occur, and a portion that the driver wants to see can be surely seen, and an unexpected accident can be prevented in advance.

The invention according to this example will be described with reference to FIG.
In the present invention, in addition to the sensor 117, a camera 17 serving as a detector for detecting the driver's forward line-of-sight direction is connected to the vehicle state detection device 1 described above.
Similarly to the above-described embodiment, the safety device 3 includes a headlamp rotating device 397 that is rotated in the horizontal direction by an actuator 397a.
The actuator 397a is selectively connected with the sensor 117 for detecting the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the handle 961 and the camera 17 for detecting the driver's forward line-of-sight direction via the controller 2. Connected.
Other configurations are the same as those of the thirteenth embodiment.

Next, functions and effects of the present invention will be described.
In the present invention, in normal use, when the driver turns the handle 961 to the left, the controller 2 operates in response to a signal from the sensor 117 that detects the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the handle 961, and the headlamp rotation is performed. By actuating the moving device 397, a state in which the headlamp 97 is directed in the left side direction is obtained.
On the other hand, as described above, when the vehicle crosses a narrow bridge, if the driver wishes to further secure the left side field of view, it receives a signal from the camera 17 that detects the driver's forward gaze direction. The controller 2 is activated, and the headlamp rotation device 397 is further operated from the movement of the driver's head and eyes, so that the headlamp 97 is directed to the left side direction. Will be provided.

  In the present invention, information from the sensor 117 that detects the rotation direction and rotation angle of the handle 961 with respect to the actuator 397a of the headlamp rotation device 397, and information from the camera 17 that detects the driver's forward line-of-sight direction. Are selectively transmitted by the controller 2 as necessary. For this reason, when the driver is turning left in the vehicle, the headlamp 97 turns to the passerby by mistake, even if he turns to the familiar passerby on the right side of the vehicle. , Will not trigger an unexpected accident.
