Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Modified) [Problem] The main feature of the present invention is to immediately transmit an emergency evacuation braking action to a following vehicle, thereby preventing an accident of the following vehicle from occurring. And A blinking unit (3) inserted into a conventional circuit of a brake light uses a pressure sensor (2) and a rotation sensor (4). It is something that you try to prevent beforehand.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a method of emitting a brake light of an automobile and a motorcycle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The brake lights for automobiles and motorcycles are only illuminated to notify the following vehicle of the intention to stop or decelerate. When driving at low speeds in urban areas, the current lighting only structure was sufficient for practical use.

However, now that road maintenance is progressing and the expressway network has been established all over the country, the speed of vehicles is surely increasing. It is a well-known fact that it takes a little time to do so. In addition, there are individual differences in driver's judgment ability and reaction time, and many accidents due to delay in judgment have been reported. The visibility of current brake lights for automobiles and motorcycles is getting very good, but the brake lights that only light up quickly convey the emergency evacuation deceleration of the preceding vehicle to the following vehicle. There was a drawback that things could not be done.

[0004] In an emergency evacuation deceleration operation of the preceding vehicle, this disadvantage has a serious problem such as inducing a major accident involving human life, such as a rear-end collision due to a delay in the accident avoidance behavior of the following vehicle.

[0005] As a remedy, there is a method of flashing a brake light at a high speed by using a pressure sensor and a wheel rotation sensor in an emergency evacuation braking operation. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an electric circuit for performing this method. In FIG. 1, 1 is a brake petal, 2 is a pressure sensor, 3 is a blinking unit, and 4 is a rotary sensor. is there.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The problem to be solved is to prevent the following vehicle from accidents by promptly informing the following vehicle of the meaning of the braking action performed by the preceding vehicle.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is characterized by blinking the brake light at high speed for a certain time in order to promptly notify the emergency evacuation braking action to the following vehicle.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The purpose of the present invention is to use a rotary sensor and a pressure sensor, which are used in the ABS currently installed in many vehicles, and to use a blinking unit to blink at high speed. It was realized by inserting and interrupting a simple electronic circuit.

[0009]

【Example】

 Embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the device of the present invention, wherein A denotes a brake switch, B denotes a conventional circuit of a brake light, and C denotes a brake light. Normally, when the brake pedal 1 is depressed, the brake switch A is connected, electricity flows through B, and the brake light C is turned on. At the same time, the hydraulic pressure generated in the master cylinder 1A is sent to the wheel cylinder 1C through the brake lines 1B and 2B to control the wheels 1D. The pressure sensor 2 converts the pressure at this time into an electric signal and sends it to the blinking unit 3. The brake light C is blinked at a high speed by performing a high-speed intermittent operation of a conventional circuit B of the brake light for a certain period of time by comprehensively judging a change in the rotation of the wheel 1D from the feed and rotation sensor 4. Although the present invention is configured to blink at a high speed by performing a high-speed intermittent operation of the circuit, it is considered that there are endless variations due to a simple electronic circuit.

The conventional circuit B of the brake light is connected to the brake light via a blinking unit, and the signal B of the pressure sensor 2 and the rotation sensor 4 intermittently interrupts the conventional circuit B of the brake light for a certain period of time. Since the subject of the present invention lies in the method of lighting the brake light, the description of the electronic system is omitted.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the brake lights of the vehicle and the motorcycle equipped with the emergency notification function of the present invention can notify the following vehicle within the visible range immediately of the emergency avoidance braking action performed by the preceding vehicle, thereby making a judgment. This has the effect of preventing a rear-end collision accident or the like due to a delay. Also, confusion with tail lights at night can be avoided, so a greater effect can be expected.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment in which an emergency notification brake light blinks.
