Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a horn for a vehicle, more precisely relates to a trumpet horn for a vehicle.
  • a horn is provided to a vehicle, e.g., automobile, motorbike, as a safety equipment.
  • a vehicle e.g., automobile, motorbike
  • an electric power supplied from a battery of a vehicle oscillates an oscillation member, and thereby a horn outputs a warning sound.
  • a disk horn which is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Gazette No. P1997-305181A
  • a trumpet horn which is disclosed, for example, in a web page whose URL is "http://www.maruko-horn.co.jp/seihin/trumpet_wide.html" and searched on 7th November 2007.
  • a main purpose of the horn is to call attentions of other drivers and pedestrians by warning sound.
  • the sound output section of the trumpet horn is faced to the ground surface as described above, the warning sound will be attenuated before reaching other drivers or pedestrians.
  • a number of apparatuses are densely attached in a bonnet of a vehicle, in which the horn is also attached. Therefore, the warning sound of the horn will be significantly attenuated in the tight space. Namely, conventional horns insufficiently work.
  • the horn is attached near a grill of the bonnet so as to merely reduce a distance between the horn and the outside and the sound output section is headed outward, the attenuation of the warning sound can be solved.
  • foreign matters e.g., rain drops, sands, easily invade into the sound output section and cause troubles. Fundamental structural modification of horns has been required.
  • the present invention was conceived to solve the above described problems.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a horn for a vehicle, which is capable of preventing foreign matters from invading into a sound output section and highly preventing attenuation of a warning sound.
  • the present invention has following structures.
  • the horn of the present invention comprises:
  • the sound output section may be connected to a part of the sound path which is horizontally formed. With this structure, invasion of foreign matters can be perfectly prevented.
  • a shielding plate may be provided to the sound output section, and the shielding plate may hide the sound path when the sound path is seen from the sound output section side.
  • a plate member may be vertically provided to a connection part between the sound path and the sound output section, and a surface of the plate member may be arranged perpendicular to a propagation direction of the sound waves propagating in the sound path.
  • a plurality of the plate members may be placed at specified distance.
  • heights of the plate members may be gradually increased from the upstream side of the sound path to the downstream side thereof.
  • a height of a front end of each of the plate members may be gradually increased from the upstream side of the sound path to the downstream side thereof.
  • the sound waves propagating in the sound path can be smoothly introduced to the sound output section, so that attenuation of the sound waves can be prevented and a loud warning sound can be outputted. Further, even if the sound output section is directed to the moving direction of the vehicle, invasion of foreign matters, e.g., rain drops, sands, can be suitably prevented.
  • a small section part which reduces a sectional passage area of the sound path, may be provided between the sound path and the sound output section.
  • a foreign matter trapping space may be formed in an outermost part of the sound path and expanded outward.
  • a configuration of a connection part between the foreign matter trapping space and the sound path may be defined by a downstream side tangent line and an upstream side tangent line, which are mutually connected, the downstream side tangent line, which is defined by a side wall face of a downstream side connection part of the sound path, may be directed to the inner side of the foreign matter trapping space, and the upstream side tangent line, which is defined by a side wall face of an upstream side connection part of the sound path, may be directed to the inner side of the sound path which is on the inner side of the side wall face defining the downstream side tangent line.
  • Another horn of the present invention which optionally has features of one of more of the above described structures, comprises:
  • a side wall may be integrally formed on an outer edge of the partition wall of the first member.
  • a plate member may be integrally formed with the partition wall of the first member and face the other end of the spiral plate, and a surface of the plate member may be arranged perpendicular to a propagation direction of sound waves.
  • a small section part which reduces a sectional passage area of the sound path and which is placed on the upstream side of the plate member, may be integrally formed with the partition wall of the first member.
  • a shielding plate may be integrally formed with the sound output section of the second member.
  • the horn can be easily assembled. Especially, even if the small parts, e.g., the shielding plate, the plate member, the small section part, are used, the horn can be easily assembled, and thereby the horn can be efficiently produced and production cost can be reduced.
  • the small parts e.g., the shielding plate, the plate member, the small section part
  • the opening part of the sound output section is directed in the moving direction of the vehicle, so that the sound waves (warning sound) generated by the oscillation member can be outputted, as a loud sound, toward other drivers and pedestrians.
  • the sound path communicated to the sound output section is deviated from the moving direction of the vehicle, so that invasion of foreign matters from the sound output section into the sound path (the inner part of the main body section) can be suitably prevented. Since the invasion of foreign matters can be prevented and the sound output section can be directed in the moving direction of the vehicle, attenuation of the sound waves can be highly restrained even if the horn is attached in a tight space, e.g., bonnet.

  • the sound output section 70 is constituted by a trumpetlike funnel part 71, and a shielding plate 72 covering an outlet of the funnel part 71.
  • the shielding plate 72 hides the sound path 30, so the sound path 30 is not directly seen from the sound output section 70 side.
  • the shielding plate 72 is formed like a lattice or rough mesh.
  • a narrow space 73 is formed between the shielding plate 72 and an inner face of the funnel part 71.

  • the plate members 56 introduce the sound waves from the sound path 30. Further, they prevent foreign matters, e.g., rain drops, sands, from invading into the sound path 30 with the shielding plate 72 of the sound output section 70.
  • the shielding plate 72 of the sound output section 70 is formed like a lattice and capable of preventing foreign matters from linearly invading into the sound path 30 from the sound output section 70.
  • the shielding plate 72 suitably prevents foreign matters, e.g., a spray of water caused by running the vehicle, pressurized water for washing the vehicle, from obliquely invading with respect to the shielding plate 72 as shown by an arrow X in Fig. 7 .
  • the shielding plate 72 of the sound output section 70 is capable of preventing most of foreign matters from invading into the sound path 30 from the direction X. Foreign matters passing through the shielding plate 72 can be caught in the spaces 56D between the second plate members 56B. Further, the first plate members 56A narrow the sound path 30, so foreign matters invading into the sound path 30 can be securely caught.
  • the shielding plate 72 can reduce an invading speed of the foreign matters but cannot always reduce the amount of the foreign matters. However, most of the foreign matters can be caught in the spaces 56D between the second plate members 56B. Further, the sound path 30 is narrowed by the first plate members 56A, so that the foreign matters invading into the sound path 30 can be securely caught as well as the above described case in which the foreign matters invade in the direction X.
  • the foreign matter trapping space 59 is smoothly connected to the side wall of the sound path 30 from the downstream side of the sound path 30. Further, the foreign matter trapping space 59 is located in a part of the sound path 30 which is horizontally extended and then extended upward.
  • the discharge hole 74 which is communicated to the spaces 56D between the second plate members 56B and outside of the horn 10, is formed in the sound output section 70. Foreign matters, e.g., water, which have invaded into the sound output section 70 from the directions X and Y, can be discharged to the outside of the horn 10 via the spaces 56D between the second plate members 56B, the space 73 between the funnel part 71 and the shielding plate 72, and the discharge hole 74.
  • the horn 10 outputs the sound waves generated by the oscillation member 20 frontward as the warning sound, so the warning sound can be efficiently outputted. Even if the opening part of the sound output section 70 is headed to the front side of the horn 10, the shielding plate 72, the first and second plate members 56A and 56B and the foreign matter trapping space 59 are capable of securely preventing foreign matters from invading into the horn 10. Therefore, a span of life of the horn 10 can be long.
  • the horn 10 has the shielding plate 72, the first plate members 56A acting as the small section part and the second plate members 56.
  • the horn which can prevent foreign matters from invading from the sound output section without using said members, may be attached to the vehicle, with the sound output section being headed in the moving direction (advancing direction) of the vehicle, as far as the horn has: the oscillation member, the sound path being formed into the spiral path, which is spirally formed around the center axis of the oscillation plate and in which the distance from the center axis is gradually increased toward the outer end; and the sound output section being provided to the outer end of the sound path, the sound output section outputting sound waves, which have passed through the sound path, in the axial direction of the center axis, and the opening part of the sound output section has the elongate configuration, whose long axis is arranged in the vertical direction.
  • the sound output section 70 is connected to the horizontally extended part of the sound path 30. Further, the sound output section 70 may be connected other parts as far as number of winding the sound path 30 is three or more. The sound output section 70 need not be connected to the horizontal part of the sound path 30, so it may be connected to other parts.
  • the opening part of the sound output section 70 is directed in the advancing direction of the vehicle and the long axis of the opening part is arranged in the vertical direction, and thereby the sound waves (warning sound) generated by the oscillation member 20 can be effectively outputted, as a loud sound, forward.
