Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a portable traffic signal light, and more specifically, a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are vertically installed, and a light emitting device is installed at the end of the light emitting diode so that the LED flash light is emitted. The present invention relates to a traffic signal light that enables selective use of a signal function and a floodlight function.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, signal lights used for traffic signals, military operations, aircraft guidance, and even safety management at construction sites are equipped with or equipped with a battery operated by a portable power source for daytime and nighttime use. To make the light bulb blink, or to make the light of the blinking bulb efficiently emit light, a reflector or the like is installed inside the transparent body.

Since the signal light thus constructed increases a sufficient visible distance and a visual effect at the time of a power failure, nighttime or bad weather, it is used by a user such as a controller or a conductor as a signal light or a warning light. It

Further, the end portion of the signal light is provided with a light projecting function so that the number of the escape vehicle can be identified, the driver's identification at the time of the inspection, the defective portion of the vehicle, etc. can be utilized at night. Increase.

A technology of a signal light having such a signal function and a confirmation function, in particular, a traffic light is proposed in Korean Utility Model Registration Application No. 93-1328.

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the Korean Utility Model Registration Application No. 93-1328.

As shown in FIG. 1, a portable signal light includes a handle 1 in which a dry battery is stored, a switch cap 2 assembled in the handle 1, a plurality of switches 3 installed on an outer peripheral wall of the switch cap 2, and a switch cap. 2, a light emitting signal body 7 in which a plurality of light emitting diodes 6 are arranged in a vertical direction, which is connected to the circuit board 4, the support body 5, and the circuit board 4, and which accommodates the light emitting signal body 7; Protective tube 8 supported by body 5, support ring 9 externally fitted to protective tube 8, support tube 10 covered by protective tube 8, fluorescent film tube 11, external tube 12 covering fluorescent film tube 11 A storage cap 13 assembled at the upper opening of the outer tube 12, a light bulb 14 provided in the storage cap 13, a reflector plate 15, a glass plate 16 and a light bulb cap 17 attached to the storage cap 13. Is done.

In such a configuration, when the switch 3 is operated, the power of the dry battery housed in the handle 1 is applied to the light emission signal body 7 via the circuit board 4, so that the plurality of light emission diodes 6 are generated. It will be lit or blinked. The light of the light emitting diode 6 is expressed to the outside through the outer tube 12, and at this time, since the fluorescent film tube 11 is inserted inside the outer tube 12, the light of the light emitting diode 6 is guided by the fluorescent film tube 11. It is diffusely reflected to increase the visual effect, and when there is no power source, it produces the night light effect by the opposite light.

On the other hand, when various confirmation necessity factors occur at night, the switch 3 for activating the light projecting function of the plurality of switches 3 is operated to directly apply the power source of the dry battery to the light bulb 14. Then, the light from the light bulb 14 is radiated to the front of the signal light (upper part of the drawing) through the reflection plate 15 and the glass plate 16, and the light of the light bulb at this time is not flashed and is always in a lighting state. It will be possible to perform tasks such as identification, vehicle search, and identification.

However, such a conventional traffic light has various problems due to its assembly structure.

That is, in order to form the light emission signal body 7, it is necessary to manually attach a plurality of light emitting diodes 6 by soldering or the like, and the plurality of welded light emitting diodes 6 support this. Since it is installed in a conducting wire, it becomes unstable, and another transparent tube 8 is required to support the light emitting signal body 7. The light emitting signal body 7 is connected to the circuit board 4 by welding. And the assembly becomes complicated.

Further, in order to stably support the protection tube 8 covering and supporting the light emission signal body 7 again in the fluorescent film tube 11 or the outer tube 12, the inner diameter of the outer tube 12 is provided on the outer circumference of the protection tube 8. The support ring 9 corresponding to the above is connected, and another transparent support tube 10 is required to support the protective tube 8 including the support ring 9 and the fluorescent film tube 11.

With such a complicated structure, the light of the light emission signal body 7 is expressed to the outside through the protection tube 8, the support tube 10, the phosphor film tube 11 and the outer tube 12, so that the original illuminance is lowered. The problem occurs.

Further, since the support tube 10 made of a film material, the fluorescent film tube 11 and the outer tube 12 made of a synthetic resin body are reinforced only by the support ring 9 provided in the protection tube 8, they are not affected by external impact or temperature change. Always have the fear of being irreversibly deformed or damaged.

That is, since there is no flexible and sensitive reinforcing support for the outer tube 12, the life of the signal lamp itself is shortened.

Further, in order to install the reflection plate 15 and the light bulb 14 having a light projecting function, another storage cap 13, a glass plate 16, and a light bulb cap 17 assembled to the outer tube 12 must be provided. The parts configuration and assembly become complicated.

Further, it is necessary to provide another support 5 for supporting the protection tube 8, and the power supply of the light emission signal body 7 and the light projecting bulb 14 is interrupted, and the color of the light emitting diode 6 installed in the light emission signal body 7 is changed. Since each switch related to the above function is separately installed on the outer wall of the switch cap 3 in order to perform the connection / disconnection of the power for selection, the structure becomes complicated, which complicates the assembly and increases the product price. It is a factor that invites you.

In view of various problems that the conventional signal lamp configuration has, especially the problem that the configuration of the light emission signal body 7 has, the technology devised by the applicant has already been applied (Korean utility model registration application). No. 94-29646, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 94-12997, Registration No. 3010482).

According to this, the power supply unit is fastened and installed in the handle in which the battery storage hole for storing the battery is formed, and the display cylinder body which is the inner support cylinder and the colored display material are installed in the upper insertion portion of the power supply unit. Inserted and installed, switch button and connector are installed in the power supply unit, a plurality of LEDs are arranged at regular intervals in the display cylinder of the inner cylinder, and an integrated printed circuit board having a blinking circuit unit below ( PCB) is inserted and installed, and the connector is connected to the blinking circuit part of the printed circuit board. Especially, the both sides of the printed circuit board (PCB) have inner diameters of the display cylinder. Since it is in contact with the display cylinder, it naturally achieves the reinforcing function of the display cylinder, the printed circuit board itself is stably supported, and each LED is stably installed in the incision hole formed in the printed circuit board. Structure Since it does not require a separate circuit board, the number of parts, volume and weight are reduced, it is easy to manufacture and assemble, it can be used for various purposes, and it can reliably transmit signals and can be used stably. Have.

The improved configuration of the signal light is applied to the configuration of the traffic signal light according to the present invention, which will be described later, and a specific technical configuration thereof will be described in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, although the improved configuration of the signal light can solve various problems of the conventional technology according to the above-mentioned (Korea utility model registration application No. 93-1328), it does not have the light projection function of the previous technology. There is a problem.

That is, in this conventional technique, the blinking of the light emitting diode is expressed in the outer tube to provide a signal function, and the bulb and the reflector installed at the upper end of the outer tube also serve as the light projecting function, but are registered as a Korean utility model. The prior arts relating to Application No. 94-29646, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 94-12997, and Registration No. 3010482 only perform the signal function of the display cylinder by blinking the LED, and are used for confirmation work at night. It does not have the necessary light projection function.

The purpose of the present invention was developed to solve various problems of the above-mentioned two technologies. One signal lamp has a signal function and a light projecting function at the same time, and the structure is simplified. Another object of the present invention is to provide a traffic signal light whose assembly efficiency is improved.
