It is characterized in that lighting or blinking of the presence display lamp is controlled by a part signal.

A ninth aspect of the present invention is the wind-powered traveling vehicle presence display lamp according to any one of the first to eighth aspects, wherein a reflector is provided to assist the presence display lamp. And

    Therefore, in the present invention, when a moving body such as a car or a motorcycle starts and the speed increases, power is effectively generated, the traveling vehicle presence display lamp is supplied with power, and the lamp is lit or blinking, so there is no need for a long wiring. It can also be added later, avoiding the danger of battery drain. Further, it is possible to obtain an effect that the effects described in the embodiments can be freely added.

  The present invention relates to a wind power generator having blades that are rotated by the flow of air generated according to the speed of a moving body, and rectifies the electric power generated thereby, charges it to an appropriate voltage, and supplies it to a lamp such as an LED. It consists of a control circuit and a lamp such as an LED. The best form is when these are integrated. Hereinafter, the best mode will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a view showing an embodiment of a wind-powered traveling vehicle presence display lamp according to the present invention, wherein 1-a is a perspective view, and 1-b is a cross section when cut at a portion of a cut surface 11. FIG. FIG.
A wind power generator 14 having blades 13 is held in the wind tunnel 12 between the fixed plate 15 and the support plate 16 of the wind tunnel 12 by screws or the like. From the wind power generator 14, the wiring 17 is connected to the control circuit 18, and the pulsating power generated in the wind power generator 14 according to the traveling speed of the moving body is rectified by the control circuit 18, such as an LED. The voltage becomes an appropriate voltage for driving the lamp 19, and the lamp 19 is charged and supplied with power. Of course, the voltage may be converted after charging to be appropriate for the lamp 19. Since there is a secondary battery for charging, it can be lit or blinking even when stopped or slowing down.However, if you want to illuminate or blink only during driving, rotate the generator blades, for example, a magnetic sensor, proximity switch, etc. The control circuit 18 may detect the current and turn on or blink the lamp 19 only when this signal is present. Further, the control circuit 18 can also provide a pattern (order) in which the plurality of lamps 19 blink alternately.
The lamp can be made conspicuous by using a plurality of colors such as red, green, and blue in addition to one color. It is also effective to arrange an external light reflecting plate that reflects light from the outside and a reflecting plate that reflects the light of the lamp around the lamp in order to help the lamp stand out. In addition, since the change in the moving speed of the traveling vehicle is large, it is possible to use a wind power generator that switches the power generation units having different power generation amounts according to the traveling speed. Reference numeral 20 denotes an attachment portion for fixing to a moving body such as a car with a screw or the like.

    FIG. 2 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the wind-powered traveling vehicle presence display lamp according to the present invention.
