Description

  The present invention relates to an educational traffic signal device for educating infants, school children, elderly people, etc. in a classroom, etc., how to safely traverse pedestrians, bicycles, etc. at intersections with traffic lights.

  In order to educate infants, school children, elderly people, etc., how to safely cross pedestrians, bicycles, etc. at intersections with traffic lights, educational traffic signal devices are used in schools. The conventional traffic signal device for education uses a cable between the traffic light and the controller. During education, children and elderly people can hook their feet on the cable and handle the cable in a dangerous and safe state. It was hard.

In addition, the traffic signal must be connected to the controller at an AC voltage of 100V50 to 60HZ, which is inconvenient to use in places where there is no power supply or where the power supply is remote. Furthermore, the signal lamp generally uses an incandescent bulb, which consumes a lot of power and is out of the light bulb, requiring replacement work. In addition, it is convenient for instructors to control the switching of signal lights from children or the elderly or from any place in classrooms, but conventional signal light switching control is performed by a fixed and expensive control device. It was inconvenient.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a traffic signal device for education which can be switched by radio operation from any place, can be used even in a place without a power source, and can be operated with low power consumption. That is.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an educational traffic signal apparatus for teaching a safe crossing method of a pedestrian, a bicycle, etc. at a traffic light at an intersection with a traffic light as claimed in claim 1 A signal lamp made of light emitting diodes or liquid crystals of blue, yellow, and red, including a power source, a receiving device and a signal switching device for the rechargeable battery or solar battery in the casing of the signal light, and linked to the signal light. The pedestrian lamps, which are controlled by the indicator lights that are stopped, are installed on the columns and are movably installed at the intersection, and the signal lights of the traffic lights and the pedestrian lights are controlled by remote control. In order to do so, the portable telephone is characterized by a configuration comprising a portable remote controller for transmitting to the receiving device.

  According to the present invention, since the signal light is switched by wireless operation, it is cable-less, and the risk of a child or elderly person hooking a foot on the cable during education is ensured and safety is ensured. Therefore, it is convenient for education and guidance because it is possible to switch the signal lamp as needed by remote control by radio. In addition, it can be used even in places where there is no power supply, can be operated with low power consumption, and since the traffic light is portable, it can be moved to an appropriate place and installed, making it an extremely educational tool. It has a useful effect.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an educational crossing made at a school or the like, and 2 denotes a pedestrian crossing at the intersection 1. Traffic lights 3 a to 3 d are installed at the four corners of this intersection 1. The traffic lights 3a to 3d are movable and movable. That is, the blue 4a, yellow 4b, and red 4c signal lights 4 are attached to the upper ends of the columns 6 that are erected on the pedestal 7, and the indicator lights 5a that are stopped below the signal lights 4 and the walking indicator lights 5b are walked. A person lamp 5 is attached. Further, any one of the four traffic lights 3a to 3d is sufficient, but a portable remote controller 8 for remotely operating the traffic lights 3 and 3 of the traffic lights 3a to 3d wirelessly. Is detachably attached.

  The blue 4a, yellow 4b, and red 4c of the signal lamp 4 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are light emitting diodes or liquid crystals, and a rechargeable battery or a solar battery 11 is built in the casing 9 of the signal lamp 4 as a power source. The casing 9 of the signal lamp 4 incorporates a receiving device 12 and a signal switching device 13, and the receiving device 12 includes an antenna 10 for receiving a signal transmitted from the remote controller 8. Further, a connector 15 for the pedestrian lamp 5 is provided on the back side of the casing 9 of the signal lamp 4. 2 and 3, reference numeral 14 denotes a pipe receiver for attaching the signal lamp 4 to the upper end of the column 6.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the pedestrian lamp 5 connected to the connector 15 for the pedestrian lamp 5 on the back side of the casing 9 of the signal lamp 4 via the cable 16 includes the stop indicator lamp 5a and the forward indicator lamp. 5b is linked with the signal switching of the signal lamp 4 to turn on and off.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the remote controller 8 has push button manual switches for performing various controls, and a signal transmitted from the remote controller 8 is received by the receiving device 12 via the antenna 10 of the signal lamp 4 and the blue 4a, Control of lighting and extinguishing of the stop lamp 5a of the yellow 4b and red 4c and the pedestrian lamp 5 and the forward indicator lamp 5b is performed by remote control.

  The remote controller 8 is detachably attached to the column 6 and is operated by a person who wants to cross a pedestrian crossing with a pedestrian or a bicycle while attached to the column 6 or an instructor. Also, remove and carry as needed to operate at any location.

  As shown in the circuit block diagram of FIG. 6, the remote controller 8 comprises a signal system setting unit 8a using a push button manual switch, a signal conversion circuit 8b of a one-chip microcomputer, a blue time adjusting unit 8c, a battery 8d and a transmitter 8e. Has been.

  As shown in the circuit block diagram of FIG. 7, the signal lamp 4 includes a battery 11, a receiving device 12, a signal conversion circuit 17 of a one-chip microcomputer, a drive circuit 18, and a boost power supply conversion 19. A signal lamp 4 and a pedestrian lamp 5 are connected.

  With the above configuration, each signal is converted into a 4-bit output by the one-chip microcomputer of the signal conversion circuit 8b according to the signal system by operating the remote controller 8, and is input to the transmitter 8e. The transmitter 8e modulates the carrier frequency with this signal and transmits it by radio waves. The receiving device 12 of the signal lamp 4 receives this radio wave and outputs it in 4 bits, and the 4-bit output of the signal conversion circuit 17 of the one-chip microcomputer is the blue 4a, yellow 4b, red 4c of the signal lamp 4 and the pedestrian lamp 5 Signals are distributed to the stop indicator lamp 5a (red) and the forward indicator lamp 5b (blue) and passed through the drive circuit 18 to drive the lamps of the traffic lights 3a to 3d. The power source is boosted and connected in series, and is lit by the battery 11 built in each lamp. The battery 11 uses 4.5V to 6.0V, and is boosted and lit to improve efficiency.

  As described above, according to the traffic signal device for education of the present invention, it is possible to embody an intersection with a traffic light similar to an actual one by installing a simulated intersection and a signal light in a training school or the like. It is possible to educate how to safely cross pedestrians, bicycles, etc. at intersections with actual traffic lights.

  In addition, the signal devices are not remotely connected by the remote controller 8 so that the signal devices are not connected by cables. Therefore, there is no risk of children or elderly people hooking their feet on the cables during education. Education is possible.

  Further, since the signal light 4 is portable, it can be moved to an appropriate place as required in a training school or the like. For example, when teaching at a school playground, the signal of the present invention is applied to the playground. The signal device of the present invention can be installed by carrying a device and drawing a simulated intersection to educate infants, school children, elderly people and the like.
