Description

The present invention relates to a flare substitute light emitting device, and more particularly to a flare cylinder substitute light emitting device installed on a road surface such as a highway and used as a substitute for a flare cylinder that calls attention to a driver of a vehicle traveling on the road.

On roads such as highways, for example, when performing post-accident processing of traffic accidents, repair work or cleaning work on roads, the driver of a moving vehicle is asked after these accidents. As a method of calling attention to the fact that processing or repair work is being carried out, a patrol member who is preferably in a work vehicle called a yellow patrol for road work installs a flame cylinder on the road surface to call attention. The method is generally adopted. In order to ensure the safety of the moving vehicle, a plurality of flares are installed at predetermined intervals in a section of an accident site or a work site, for example, several hundred meters to several kilometers before, and for example, a red flame is ignited. It has a function to notify the running vehicle of danger and to notify in advance not to enter the accident site or work site.

In addition, the flare can be ignited by, for example, twisting and pulling out the cap so that a patrol member in a work vehicle can install it on the road surface in a state of quick ignition. For example, in order to allow the light from the flame to be confirmed from 600 m or more in the daytime and 2 km or more in the nighttime, it is preferable to secure a luminous intensity of 200 candelas or more, for example, the wind speed is about 18 m / sec and the amount of rainfall is about 18 m / sec. It has been devised so that it can be burned normally even in an environment of about 50 mm / h.

Furthermore, the flare may roll and shift laterally due to a gust of wind, etc., and there is a risk of roadside fire due to the ignited flame. For example, if gasoline or oil leaks at the accident site, it cannot be used. As an alternative to the flare, a flare that does not use fire (see, for example, Patent Document 1) and an emergency signal light using a dry battery (see, for example, Patent Document 2) have also been developed.
