Abstract
A Guardian Warning System comprising a multi-axis accelerometer, a micro-controller, an audible alarm, a visual indication and a GPS
chip.
The Guardian Warning System provide detection of the angle, degree or slop of ATV, UTV and any vehicle type or any other object where it needs to be detected.
The Guardian Warning System will sound an audible alarm and flash an LED light when said Degree, Angle or Slope is reached.
The said elements contained in a molded plastic container, which can be attached to ATVS, UTVS, and any vehicle type or any other objects where the Degree, Angel, or slope needs to be detected.
chip.
The Guardian Warning System provide detection of the angle, degree or slop of ATV, UTV and any vehicle type or any other object where it needs to be detected.
The Guardian Warning System will sound an audible alarm and flash an LED light when said Degree, Angle or Slope is reached.
The said elements contained in a molded plastic container, which can be attached to ATVS, UTVS, and any vehicle type or any other objects where the Degree, Angel, or slope needs to be detected.
Description
Description BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates generally to detection of Degree, Angle and Slope. More specifically, to a new apparatus for detecting the Degree, Angle or slope when needed. The present invention is of particular use anywhere knowledge of Degree, Angle or slope is needed. Knowledge of Degree, Angle or slope is critical when riding an ATV, UTV or a Riding lawn Mower.
The design uses an acceleration sensor to determine the static and dynamic acceleration forces applied to a vehicle. The raw sensor signals are passed through filtering function that averages / smoothes the signal over time to determine if the vehicle is approaching a critical limit in order to annunciate to the operator by way of audio and / or visual alarm indicators.
The acceleration sensor(s) used in the prototype is a solid state device that measures 3-axis acceleration (left/right, forward/backward, up/down).
The analog signal out of the accelerometer is digitized and all the filtering, averaging, and threshold detection is performed in software.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing, it is the primary object of this invention to provide a warning system for use on ATVS, UTVS, Riding Lawn Mowers and/or any type of vehicle or object where the Degree, Angle or slope needs to be known.
According to an embodiment of the invention, a warning system that comprises a molded plastic container for housing an Acceleration Sensor, a Processor and all electronic and mechanical parts necessary, to include a electronic GPS chip to provide data when a crash acures.
The advantage of the present invention is the provision of a warning system that is useful particular while riding recreational vehicles, such as an ATV, UTV, RIDING
LAWN MOWERS, etc.
Another advantage of the present invention, the Guardian Warning System, can be mounted in all positions except upside down. Once mounted in any position, except upside down, a button can pushed and the warning system will read the vehicle as level when the vehicle or object is on a level surface.
A further advantage of the present invention is the ability to mount on any type of vehicle or object where the Degree, Angle or slope needs to be known.
An important advantage of the present invention the Guardian Warning System will warn the user by an audible SOUND and a LED flashing light.
Another very important advantage of the present invention, the hearing impaired will have a very bright flashing LED light.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles and usefulness of the invention.
Description of Preferred Embodiments. See Pic.2 1. The Guardian Warning System comprising: a Triple Axis analog accelerometer MMA 7361, a microcontroller AT Mega 328, GPS Chip, Light-emitting diode (LED), Switch, an Audible Alarm.
