Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle parking lamp for transmitting a signal indicating thanks or the like to a following vehicle or the like, and a vehicle parking lamp operating device which blinks when the vehicle stops or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a vehicle is provided with a parking lamp switch near a dashboard or a front panel portion, and thanks to a following vehicle when entering a main road from a side road or changing a course. Many drivers manually turned on and off the switch to flash the parking light to signal the car.

[0003] In addition, when the vehicle is stopped for getting on and off the vehicle, the switch is manually operated in order to call attention to a following vehicle, the parking lamp is blinked, and then, when the vehicle is started, The switch was manually turned off again, and then the turn signal lever was operated to blink the turn signal lamp before departure.

[0004]

However, the operation of the conventional parking lamp has the following problems. (1) The parking lamp switch is provided near the dashboard or front panel away from the steering wheel. To turn the switch on and off, the switch must be operated with one hand removed from the steering wheel each time. However, the operability was very poor, and one-hand driving was very dangerous. (2) To turn on / off the parking lamp,
It was necessary to move the line of sight to the same switch, and there was a great danger, for example, it was not possible to temporarily confirm the forward direction. (3) When turning off the blinking parking lamp to send a signal indicating thanks to the following vehicle, etc., the switch must be manually operated again, and the operability and safety are further inferior, so much thanks. Was very dangerous. (4) When the vehicle starts after stopping the vehicle by blinking the parking lamp, etc., the blinker lamp blinks to change course. However, the blinking of the parking lamp and the blinking of the blinker lamp are easily confused. It was very dangerous to forget to turn it off and change the course with the lamp flashing.

[0005] Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is:
Gives a signal to thank the following vehicle safely or conveniently when changing course, etc., and blinks the parking lamp to prevent the parking lamp from being turned off after departure after stopping, etc. The present invention is to provide an operation device for a parking lamp for a vehicle.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided an operating device for a vehicle parking lamp according to the present invention, wherein the parking lamp for a vehicle is used as a signal to a following vehicle or the like. operated by, it is obtained by a configuration in which while blinking when the parking lamp continuous lighting and any number or any. In the above device, the parking lamp may be operated by operating a switch or the like built in or attached to the turn signal lever. The parking lamp can be released by operating the turn signal lever. Further, the parking lamp can be switched on by pushing, pulling, or rotating the turn signal lever in the axial direction of the handle. In addition, a parking lamp switch can be provided on the surface of the turn signal lever.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG.
1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, (a) is a schematic view, and (b) is an enlarged view of a part of a turn signal lever.
In the figure, 1 is a handle, 2 is a handle shaft housing 3
And 4 are parking lamp switches provided at the end of the turn signal lever 2. Although the parking lamp switch 4 is turned on and off by rotating in the figure, it can be turned on and off by pulling or pushing in the longitudinal direction of the turn signal lever 2. Further, the turn signal lever itself can be turned on and off by pulling, pushing, or turning.

In the case where the blinking of the parking lamp is performed a certain number of times or for a certain period of time as shown in FIG.
When performing continuous blinking, pull the lever 2 in the longitudinal direction, etc.
By changing the operation, either one of them may be selected. In addition, by operating the switch attached to the turn signal lever 2 once, blinking for a certain number of times or for a certain period of time is selected, and by operating the switch twice, continuous blinking is selected. Flashing may be selected.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a lighting circuit for a parking lamp. FIG.
(B) shows the case of blinking a certain number of times. FIG. 3 (a)
In this case, a timer 6 is connected between the parking lamp switch 4 and the parking lamp 5, and when the parking lamp switch 4 is turned on, the parking lamp 5 is turned on for a fixed time set by the timer 6.
In the case of FIG. 3B, a counter 7 is connected between the parking lamp switch 4 and the parking lamp 5, and when the parking lamp switch 4 is turned on, the parking lamp 5 blinks for a certain number of times set by the counter 7. It has become. It should be noted that the above-mentioned certain time and certain number of times can be set arbitrarily.

FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram when the existing turn signal switch and the parking lamp switch 4 of the present invention are linked. In FIG. 4, 8 is a left turn signal switch, 9 is a right turn signal switch, 10 is a left turn signal, 11 is a right turn signal, 12 is a first relay, 13 is a second relay, and 14 is an OR circuit.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, when the parking lamp switch 4 is pressed, the parking lamp 5 flashes and the first relay 12 is energized through the normally closed contact RY2b of the second relay 13, and the first relay 12 is turned on. Normally closed contact RY1a is closed. Thereby, even if the parking lamp switch 4 is turned off, the blinking state of the parking lamp 5 is maintained by itself. Next, when the left or right turn signal switch 8 or 9 is closed by operating the turn signal lever, the left turn signal 10 or the right turn signal 1 is turned on.
1 blinks, and the operation of one of the right and left blinker switches 8, 9 activates the second relay 13, opens the normally closed contact RY2b, and deactivates the first relay 12. Then, the first relay 12 in the self-holding state
The normally open contact RY1a is opened, and the parking lamp 5 is turned off.

In this way, it is possible to cancel the continuous blinking of the parking lamp 5 by operating the turn signal lever.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) When making a change of course, etc., traffic regulations require that the turn signal lever be operated and the turn signal lamp blinks. Safety and convenience have been greatly improved because they can be performed with a series of lever operations. (2) Since the parking lamp switch can be operated without releasing the hand from the steering wheel, there is no danger of one-handed driving or the like, and the switch can be operated very safely. (3) Since the parking lamp switch can be operated without moving the line of sight, there is no necessity of neglecting to check the front, and the safety is greatly improved. (4) As for the blinking of the parking lamp when sending a signal to thank the following car, etc., the blinking of the parking lamp for a certain period of time or a certain number of times can be selected, and the blinking of the lamp is automatically canceled. Switch operation is only for turning on 1
Only the number of times, the operability has been greatly improved. (5) Since the selection of the parking lamp for a certain number of times or for a certain time or for continuous blinking can be freely performed by operating the turn signal lever, safety and convenience are further improved. (6) When the vehicle departs after the continuous blinking of the parking lamp, the blinking of the lamp is canceled by operating the normal turn signal lever, so that there is no inadvertently leaving the parking lamp blinking. Safety was further improved.
