DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
Allegata alla Domanda di Brevetto per Invenzione Industriale dal TITOLO: Attached to the Patent Application for Industrial Invention with TITLE:
“Dispositivo di segnalazione di pericolo per autoveicoli” "Danger warning device for motor vehicles"
TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION
La presente invenzione si riferisce ad un dispositivo da montare su un autoveicolo per segnalare una situazione di pericolo, particolarmente di arresto del mezzo in una strada con traffico sostenuto. The present invention refers to a device to be mounted on a motor vehicle to signal a situation of danger, particularly of stopping the vehicle on a road with heavy traffic.
Attualmente, in una simile situazione possono verificarsi molti tamponamenti qualora il mezzo fermo non segnali la sua condizione di arresto. Particolarmente di notte o in , presenza di nebbia, la scarsa visibilità facilita il verificarsi nel giro di pochi secondi di una paurosa serie di incidenti anche mortali. Nel caso che il conducente perda i sensi a causa dell’incidente, la pressione del piede sul freno si annulla e le luci di stop o emergenza si spengono. Questo spegnimento, particolarmente in caso di scarsa visibilità, impedisce al veicolo che segue di vedere quanto succede al veicolo incidentato ed è facile comprendere come e perchè si verifichi il tamponamento successivo. Currently, in such a situation many rear-end collisions can occur if the stationary vehicle does not signal its stop condition. Particularly at night or in the presence of fog, poor visibility facilitates the occurrence of a frightening series of accidents, even fatal, within a few seconds. In the event that the driver faints due to an accident, the pressure of the foot on the brake is canceled and the stop or hazard lights go out. This switch-off, particularly in the event of poor visibility, prevents the following vehicle from seeing what is happening to the accident vehicle and it is easy to understand how and why the next rear-end collision occurs.
STATO DELLA TECNICA STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
WO 2005028254 riguarda un sensore magnetico di arresto con almeno una prima bobina associata ad una prima parte di un veicolo e un emettitore di un primo segnale collegato alla prima bobina. II segnale proviene dalla prima bobina e crea un campo magnetico; un elemento di conduzione è collegato a una parte del veicolo in modo che il campo magnetico generato dalla bobina induca un flusso magnetico nelTelemento di conduzione. Un sensore magnetico genera un secondo segnale sensibile al primo campo magnetico per reagire in sua presenza. Il flusso magnetico è indotto nell’elemento di conduzione dal primo campo. Questo dispositivo, come altri presenti nell’attuale tecnica del ramo non prevede alcun sistema per mantenere accese le luci di emergenza posteriori qualora il conducente del veicolo abbia perso i sensi. WO 2005028254 relates to a magnetic stop sensor with at least a first coil associated with a first part of a vehicle and an emitter of a first signal connected to the first coil. The signal comes from the first coil and creates a magnetic field; a conducting element is connected to a part of the vehicle so that the magnetic field generated by the coil induces a magnetic flux in the conducting element. A magnetic sensor generates a second signal sensitive to the first magnetic field to react in its presence. The magnetic flux is induced in the conduction element by the first field. This device, like others present in the current art, does not provide for any system to keep the rear emergency lights on if the driver of the vehicle has lost consciousness.
SCOPI E CARATTERISTICHE DELLA INVENZIONE AIMS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INVENTION
Lo scopo principale dell’invenzione è rimediare alle mancanze della tecnica nota. L’invenzione, come è caratterizzata dalle rivendicazioni, consiste nel creare un dispositivo di segnalazione di pericolo per autoveicoli. Il dispositivo consente di mantenere accese le luci posteriori di emergenza dopo un tamponamento anche in caso che il conducente sia svenuto o incastrato nel veicolo. The main purpose of the invention is to remedy the shortcomings of the known art. The invention, as characterized by the claims, consists in creating a danger warning device for motor vehicles. The device allows the rear emergency lights to be kept on after a rear-end collision even if the driver is unconscious or stuck in the vehicle.
Mediante la presente invenzione viene diminuito il pericolo del verificarsi di tamponamenti in serie, che possono interessare anche decine di autoveicoli se manca la visibilità perchè consente di mantenere accese le luci posteriori di emergenza del veicolo provvisto del dispositivo. By means of the present invention the danger of the occurrence of rear-end collisions in series is reduced, which can also affect dozens of motor vehicles if visibility is lacking because it allows the rear emergency lights of the vehicle equipped with the device to be kept on.
Vantaggiosamente, le luci di emergenza lampeggiano ad intermittenza. Advantageously, the emergency lights flash intermittently.
BREVE DESCRIZIONE DEI DISEGNI BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Altri vantaggi, caratteristiche e particolarità della invenzione saranno meglio compresi facendo riferimento ai disegni allegati, dati a titolo di esempio non limitativo, in cui: Other advantages, characteristics and particularities of the invention will be better understood by referring to the attached drawings, given by way of non-limiting example, in which:
∞ La figura 1 rappresenta una vista schematica in pianta di un autoveicolo fornito del dispositivo secondo la presente invenzione; Figure 1 represents a schematic plan view of a motor vehicle equipped with the device according to the present invention;
∞ la figura 2 presenta schematicamente un tamponamento da parte di un autoveicolo provvisto del dispositivo conforme alla presente invenzione; Figure 2 schematically shows a rear-end collision by a motor vehicle equipped with the device according to the present invention;
“ La figura 3 è uno schema a blocchi di un circuito che mantiene accese le luci di emergenza posteriori in caso che il veicolo tamponi un veicolo che lo precede. “Figure 3 is a block diagram of a circuit that keeps the rear hazard lights on in the event the vehicle collides with a vehicle in front.
DESCRIZIONE DI UNA PREFERITA FORMA COSTRUTTIVA DELLA INVENZIONE L’autoveicolo descritto nella Figura 1 è costituito da una carrozzeria che sostiene e trasporta un motore 1, che porta in rotazione un alternatore principale 2 del sistema di alimentazione elettrico del veicolo. L’alternatore 2 fornisce energia ad una batteria tampone 3 (di tipo noto, per es. da W02009024424) provvista di noti sistemi antiurto che la mantengono sempre in efficienza, anche nel caso che il veicolo tamponi. La batteria 3 è collegata elettricamente ad un circuito di controllo 4, al quale pervengono segnali, opportunamente elaborati, di sensori 5, 6 e 7 disposti nella parte anteriore del veicolo, soggetta alle conseguenze dell’impatto. DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED CONSTRUCTION FORM OF THE INVENTION The vehicle described in Figure 1 consists of a body that supports and carries an engine 1, which rotates a main alternator 2 of the vehicle's electrical power system. The alternator 2 supplies energy to a buffer battery 3 (of a known type, for example from W02009024424) equipped with known shockproof systems that always keep it efficient, even in the case that the vehicle buffers. The battery 3 is electrically connected to a control circuit 4, which receives signals, suitably processed, of sensors 5, 6 and 7 arranged in the front of the vehicle, subject to the consequences of the impact.
Il circuito di controllo 4 è collegato alle luci di emergenza posteriori 8, 9 per alimentarle anche dopo l’eventuale tamponamento attivo del veicolo. The control circuit 4 is connected to the rear emergency lights 8, 9 to power them even after any active rear-end collision of the vehicle.
Preferibilmente è previsto un congegno nel circuito di controllo 4 che consente la intermittenza delle luci di emergenza 8, 9. A device is preferably provided in the control circuit 4 which allows the flashing of the emergency lights 8, 9.
La Figura 2 illustra un primo veicolo 10 tamponato da un secondo veicolo 11, il quale è seguito da un terzo veicolo 12. Quest'ultimo, in caso di scarsa visibilità, avrebbe moltissime probabilità di tamponare anche il veicolo 11 se questo fosse sprovvisto del dispositivo secondo la presente invenzione. Il tamponamento viene efficacemente evitato dalle luci intermittenti di emergenza 8, 9 che avvertono il conducente del terzo veicolo 12 dell 'avvenuto impatto e del conseguente arresto del primo e del secondo veicolo 10 e 11. La Figura 3 spiega come si possono mantenere accese le luci di emergenza 8, 9 disposte nella parte posteriore del veicolo 11. Figure 2 illustrates a first vehicle 10 hit by a second vehicle 11, which is followed by a third vehicle 12. The latter, in the event of poor visibility, would have a very high probability of also hitting the vehicle 11 if it were not equipped with the device. according to the present invention. The rear-end collision is effectively avoided by the flashing emergency lights 8, 9 which warn the driver of the third vehicle 12 of the impact and consequent stop of the first and second vehicles 10 and 11. Figure 3 explains how the lights can be kept on emergency 8, 9 located at the rear of the vehicle 11.
Una serie di sensori di impatto è presente nella parte anteriore del veicolo. Questi sensori sono di tipo noto, per esempio sensori inerziali o sensori a fibre ottiche del tipo descritto in US 2007162231, e ciascun sensore, sollecitato daH’urto di un incidente, invia un segnale specifico ad un decodificatore, che trasforma le grandezze del segnale del sensore in grandezze decodificate atte ad essere elaborate da una centrale operativa che fa parte del circuito di controllo 4. Questa centrale operativa e il relativo circuito di controllo sono mantenuti attivi dalla batteria tampone 3 che, come noto, eroga corrente anche in caso di urto e/o di disconnessione dall’ alternatore principale 2 dalla medesima batteria 3. A series of impact sensors is present in the front of the vehicle. These sensors are of a known type, for example inertial sensors or optical fiber sensors of the type described in US 2007162231, and each sensor, stressed by the impact of an accident, sends a specific signal to a decoder, which transforms the magnitudes of the signal of the sensor in decoded quantities suitable for processing by an operations center which is part of the control circuit 4. This operations center and the relative control circuit are kept active by the buffer battery 3 which, as known, supplies current even in the event of a collision and / or disconnection from the main alternator 2 from the same battery 3.
Da quanto esposto si può dedurre che è stato creato un dispositivo che segnala la presenza di un veicolo fermo sulla carreggiata a causa di un tamponamento o di altro incidente o avaria. From the foregoing it can be deduced that a device has been created that signals the presence of a vehicle stopped on the roadway due to a rear-end collision or other accident or breakdown.
Quella descritta non è che una delle possibili versioni costruttive dell’ invenzione alla quale possono essere apportate ampie varianti. In particolare, lo schema a blocchi della Figura 3 assume configurazioni strutturali che permettono comunque la sua funzionalità in caso di emergenza. The one described is only one of the possible construction versions of the invention to which wide variations can be made. In particular, the block diagram of Figure 3 assumes structural configurations which still allow its functionality in the event of an emergency.
La funzionalità aumenta a causa del congegno nel circuito di controllo 4 che consente la intermittenza delle luci di emergenza. The functionality increases due to the arrangement in the control circuit 4 which allows the emergency lights to flash.
Le forme, le dimensioni e i materiali non limitano la portata della presente invenzione nella quale ogni componente può essere sostituito da un altro tecnicamente equivalente. The shapes, the dimensions and the materials do not limit the scope of the present invention in which each component can be replaced by another technically equivalent one.
