Description

The present invention relates to a light emission warning structure of a wheel, and more particularly to a wheel structure in which a thermoluminescent coating is provided on the surface of a tire or tire rim of an automobile, a motorcycle or a bicycle.

Conventionally, a light reflecting paint, a light reflecting sheet, a fluorescent paint, or an indicator light is often used as a safety device for warning in a general vehicle. Among these, since the light reflecting material is included in the light reflecting paint, when the light reflecting paint is irradiated with light, a warning effect of light reflection can be achieved. However, since the light-reflective coating does not work unless it receives external light, its application range is limited. In addition, the light reflecting sheet has the same drawbacks as the light reflecting paint in use. Fluorescent paint contains a fluorescent material that accumulates light energy, so when subjected to light irradiation for a predetermined time, the fluorescent material accumulates light energy and emits light even in an environment without light irradiation. Can do. However, the fluorescent material cannot emit light by itself unless energy is stored beforehand, and since the emission luminance is actually weak, it cannot be sustained for a long time, and its application range is also restricted. In the indicator light, a light emitting element such as a bubble or an LED generates visible light by an external operating voltage. The indicator light functions as a light emission warning in use. However, the electronic member included in the indicator light is easily damaged, and the light emission process consumes energy. Therefore, the indicator light has no environmental protection effect.

Therefore, the present invention provides a light emission warning structure for a wheel that can produce a light emission action under conditions that require neither external electric power nor light irradiation, simplifying the structure, and providing a warning safety effect. For the purpose.

The light emission warning structure for a wheel according to the present invention includes a wheel and at least one light emission sign. The wheel includes a tire and a tire rim. The luminescent label includes a modeling pattern and a thermoluminescent coating provided on the modeling pattern. The shaped pattern is provided on the surface of the tire and / or the tire rim. Since the temperature of the tire or the tire rim is improved while the vehicle is marching, the thermoluminescent coating generates a light emitting action, which can provide an aesthetic and warning safety effect.

According to the light emission warning structure of the wheel according to the present invention, the light emission warning effect can be achieved without requiring light irradiation or external power, and the structure is simplified, the cost is reduced, and the application range is regulated. However, it is possible to achieve the effect of energy saving and environmental protection.

The schematic diagram of the light emission warning structure of the wheel in one Example which concerns on this invention is shown. It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the partial expansion of the light emission warning structure of the wheel in FIG. The schematic diagram of the light emission warning structure of the wheel in the other Example which concerns on this invention is shown.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the light emission warning structure for a wheel according to the present invention includes a wheel 1 and at least one light emission sign 30. In this embodiment, the wheel 1 is a wheel of an automobile and includes a tire 10 and a tire rim 20. The luminescent sign 30 may be provided on the tire 10 and / or the tire rim 20. In this embodiment, a plurality of luminescent signs 30 are provided on the surfaces of the tire 10 and the tire rim 20, respectively.

Each light emitting label 30 includes a modeling pattern 40 and a thermoluminescent coating 50 covered with the modeling pattern 40. The modeling pattern 40 is formed on the surface of the tire 10 and / or the tire rim 20, and the modeling may be set as a pattern, a character, or a manufacturer trademark as necessary. In this embodiment, the height of the modeling pattern 40 is slightly lower than the concave grooves on the surfaces of the tire 10 and the tire rim 20. The thermoluminescent coating 50 is a coating containing nano thermoluminescent crystals therein. Thermoluminescence is a phenomenon in which when a specific luminescent substance stops stimulating from light and then the luminescent substance is heated again to increase its temperature, the luminescent substance continues to emit light and gradually becomes stronger. Point to. The luminescent material includes at least a substance such as a lead tungstate crystal or a quartz crystal. The thermoluminescent crystal is nano-sized in order to enhance the light-emitting effect of the thermoluminescent material by enhancing the properties such as light absorption and light reflectivity and further reducing the energy consumption in the light transfer process. It is manufactured.

In this embodiment, the thermoluminescent coating 50 is composed of a nano thermoluminescent crystal body and a thermosetting polyester resin, and is applied to the modeling pattern 40, so that it can be firmly attached to the modeling pattern 40. Yes. In a working example, if the height of the thermoluminescent coating 50 is lower, higher or equal to the surface of the tire 10 or tire rim 20, a concave, flat or convex visual appearance can be obtained. . Alternatively, the modeling pattern 40 may have a protruding shape. If the thermoluminescent coating 50 is provided on the protruding modeling pattern 40, the modeling pattern 40 has a three-dimensional effect.

According to the light emission warning structure for a wheel according to the present invention, when the vehicle is running, heat is generated due to friction of the tire against the ground or operation of the machine, so that the temperature of the tire and the tire rim is improved. Since the nano thermoluminescent crystal body in the thermoluminescent coating 50 is stimulated by these heat amounts to emit light, the thermoluminescent coating 50 can exhibit its own light emitting action. For this reason, the warning effect can be produced by the remarkable light from the light emitting sign 30 without requiring light reflection or an external power source, and the safety of driving the vehicle can be improved. Furthermore, compared with the conventional warning structure that can reflect light only by receiving light irradiation or external power supply, the light emission warning structure of the wheel according to the present invention is simplified in structure, reduced in cost, and restricted in application range. In addition, an effect of energy saving and environmental protection can be achieved.

FIG. 3 shows how the light emission warning structure for a wheel according to the present invention is applied to a wheel 1 of a bicycle. Among these, the luminescent sign 30 may be provided on the bicycle tire 10 and / or the tire rim 20. For general bicycles lacking the safety instruction function, the driving safety of the bicycle is inevitably improved.
