Description

Moving quick bicycle safety lamp
Invention field
The present invention relates to moving quick bicycle safety lamp, be used for bicycle, wheelchair and similar tool, adopt a kind of moving quick switch, be convenient to be contained on the wheel of bicycle or wheelchair.The invention still further relates to a kind of method of using this bicycle safety lamp.
Background of invention
Various moving quick switches were once proposed in recent years.In the switch of some type, a spheroid or plunger move in barrel-type casing.In a kind of switch was arranged, the spheroid of a magnetic material was contained in the tubular path in the non magnetic housing and is positioned at housing with one and makes it move apart two contacts perpendicular to the constant bar of path.Meet when impacting, spheroid is pushed in two contacts and close switch.A yet available single contact and a conductor make switch closure.
In another kind of switch, copper ball is abutted against go between on the inverted circuit card and then pass circuit card owing to the reverse side at circuit card is provided with a big magnet.When meeting vibrations, steel ball moves apart circuit card by housing, thereby destroys contact and the closing signal device.
In another kind of switch, a non magnetic conductor ball is suspended in the non magnetic non-conductive housing that non-conductive magnetic fluid is housed, and two contacts put in an end of housing.Can load onto permanent magnet in the one or both ends of housing, also can the tubular hollow magnet be set around housing with interior dress weight and joining zone.The vehicle that sensor is housed makes the weight contact terminal and close circuit when being subjected to impacting, thereby operates an air bag for instance.
In another kind of switch, a movable permanent magnet is clamped in the non magnetic housing by a yoke.Motion makes magnet bump surface of shell and destroys formed magnetic circuit, thereby reed switch is transformed on the off position from path.The purposes that proposes can comprise that the load of earthquake or elevator detects.
In another kind of switch, a permanent magnet is contained in the conductive shield in the conductive copper alloy housing and by a circular magnets device or a coil, just by a braking force it is remained on the off position.When vehicle was subjected to impacting for instance, magnet moved apart braking force place and contact wire and close circuit.
In another kind of switch, a magnetized piston that is positioned at the device middle body is remained under the non-excited state by a repulsion that acts on the magnetic recess on this object.Under the effect of force of inertia or impact, the shake plug moves and leans on plug, thereby makes closing of circuit and play a part flameout switch for instance in vehicle collision by contact.
Also have a sphere piston is made narration, piston head is leaned against on the piston seat by a magnet that is positioned at the piston seat opposite.Meet when impacting, piston can pass preferably that a damper fluid moves and by collision junction closure circuit.In another kind of device, the moveable weights that has a contact is remained on the off position by spring.Suffered acceleration of weight or deceleration are moved weight and are engaged with a contact of fixing.
In another kind of device, make one substantially the object of balance rotate around an axis and install and make a pair of electric contact can be around a rotational.Making in a pair of electric contact at least one be in object rotates in the distance.Make an emf source and an illumination equipment therewith adapter be connected adapter closure and make lamp luminous just when the object of balance produces angular acceleration just.
In another kind of device, housing supports the light source that a propulsion source and can connect electricity.One moving quick switch opens circuit or path corresponding to the motion of housing.Switch can be member, an elastic component or dynamic (ball bearing) part of doing the pivot type rotation supporting.One magnetic part is slidingly installed in a coil or piezo-electric generating propulsion source and can be used as power source and switch simultaneously.In another kind of device, a reed switch that is used for footgear or clothing is by making the via positions of reed switch closure and magnet make action between the open circuited off position of reed switch at magnet movable under the force of inertia effect at magnet.Magnet is biased on the off position by compression spring, magnetic absorbing mass or air-operated apparatus.
Various devices as bicycle safety lamp were once proposed.A kind of device is the flicker signal that is fixed on the cycle wheel spoke.Flash light can be fixed on the support that is contained on the spoke and make light do radially outer irradiation.Once proposed to adopt and a stringly be wrapped in the signal lamp on the cycle wheel spoke and make it be connected and make the Kai Heguan of its electing property with battery by toggle switch.Another kind of device is provided with a string light-emitting diode that is contained in the transparent tube, and pipe is contained on the cycle wheel spoke and is contained in a power pack on the wheel shaft and makes it and light-emitting diode is electrically connected.
In another kind of device, signal lamp is contained on the cycle wheel and battery is contained on the cycle frame.One conductive plate is contained on the non-conductive dish that is positioned on the wheel hub.When wheel, a spring is pressed on the brush and makes brush and conductive plate do electric the contact, thereby make circuit keep path.
Dress signal lamp and battery in another kind of bicycle signal lamp has, be contained in the refraction housing on the cycle wheel, have flashing feature so that the intermittently luminous circuit of light source and in order to start the motion sensor such as the mercury switch of flashing feature.
At a kind of portable signal lamp and reflex reflector that is used on the cycle wheel spoke, between light source and power supply, connect a circuit with a centrifugal switch.Centrifugal switch is an engineering properties, has the weight that can contact with terminals so that connect a circuit and make lamp luminous under centrifugal action at it.
A kind of in order to cycle wheel spoke bonded assembly signal lamp in, lamp is positioned at the radially inner side of bulb with respect to wheel shaft with battery.One switch spring often bias battery and make its when wheel does not rotate and bulb disengage, but under centrifugal action, can make battery skew and do electric the contact with bulb.
In a kind of bicycle safety lamp, one connect body in design in order to spinning on the outside thread of cycle wheel charge valve.Safe lamp body has bulb and battery, and switch is contained in and connects in the body.To connect the body spinning just can open switch and make bulb luminous on charge valve.
