Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a beacon lamp which is mounted on a roof and emits, for example, red flashes and sirens for caution.

[Conventional technology]

In vehicles equipped with this kind of beacon lamp,
When installing a high mount stop lamp, it is prepared separately.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In view of this point, an object of the present invention is to provide a beacon lamp for an automobile that can also be used as a high-mount stop lamp.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a beacon lamp body with a beacon lamp cover that pivots between a position where the light-transmitting surface of the bulb is shielded and a position where the beacon lamp is opened. At the rear in the shielding position, a lens for a high mount stop lamp that transmits the irradiation light of the bulb is attached, and in conjunction with the rotation of the beacon lamp cover from the open position to the shielding position,
A switching circuit is provided for switching the drive input of the bulb from a warning light to a brake light.

[Action]

When the beacon lamp cover is rotated to a position where the light transmitting surface of the beacon lamp main body is shielded, a drive input for the brake light is supplied to the bulb by the switching circuit in conjunction therewith.
When you step on the brake, the beacon lamp cover lens
It functions as a high-mount stop lamp by transmitting the light emitted from the bulb.

When used as an original security, the beacon lamp cover is rotated to the open position.

〔Example〕

1 to 4 show a vehicle beacon lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In these figures, reference numeral 10 denotes a beacon lamp body according to the present invention, which includes a speaker inside a speaker cover 14 in a central portion, and a bulb 11 surrounded by a rotating reflector 16 on both sides thereof. Have been. The reflector 16 irradiates light on both sides in the symmetric direction and does not irradiate light in the direction orthogonal thereto. A mirror 12 is arranged around each bulb, and the upper part is covered with a light transmitting plate 15.

On both sides of the beacon lamp body 10, a beacon lamp cover 20 formed with a spoiler-like projection 22 toward the rear at a semi-cylindrical shielding position by a shaft rotated by a motor 23 according to the present invention is axially mounted. Supported. This cover has a notch 26 corresponding to the width of the speaker cover 14.
Is formed and functions as a relief for the mounting leg 19, so that it can be turned to the open position on the back surface side. Protrusion
A red-colored lens 25 is attached to an end face of the lens 22.

As shown in FIG. 4, a rotation position sensor 29
In the normal state, a motor control circuit 28 for rotating the beacon lamp cover 20 to a position where the light transmitting plate 15 is shielded and rotating to the open position on the back side in response to a beacon lamp operation signal is attached. ing. The switching circuit 27 switches the drive input of the bulb 11 from the brake light to the warning light when used for warning, drives the beacon lamp operation signal to the motor control circuit 28, and drives the speaker and reflector rotating drive unit. Supply input.

The operation of the beacon lamp thus configured is as follows.

In the normal state, the beacon lamp cover 20 occupies the state shown in FIG. 1, and when the brake is depressed, the bulb 11 at the position where light is emitted backward emits light, and emits light as a high mount stop lamp through the lens 25. I do. Further, the protrusion 22 functions as a spoiler.

When an external operation for operating the beacon lamp is performed, the switching circuit 27 is switched, so that the beacon lamp cover 20 has the notch 26 shown in FIG. The rotation is controlled to the position. Also,
The bulb 11 is driven for a warning light, the reflector 16 is rotated so as to generate blinking light, and at the same time the speaker is sounded.

The present invention can be applied to beacon lamps of various structures by configuring the beacon lamp cover to be rotatable between a shielding position and an open position according to the shape of the beacon lamp body. Further, in the above embodiment,
When operating as a high-mount stop lamp, a stopper or a brake that operates only at the time of stoppage should be provided so as to restrain the stop position so that all of the reflectors 16 can be directed toward the rear position and emit light. Can be considered.

[Effect of the invention]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the beacon lamp is not used, this lamp can be used as a high-mount stop lamp with high visibility on the roof. Moreover, the high-mount stop lamp can be configured at low cost.
