【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、打音機能付方向指示装置に係り、特に運転者が方向指示灯の点滅を打音によって確認できる打音機能付方向指示装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の打音機能付方向指示装置として、例えば実公昭57−5227号公報に記載されているように、リレー装置内部に発振器、リレーコイル、リレースイッチと一体に構成されるアーマチュア及びダイアフラムを備え、発振器の出力によってリレーコイルを断続的に励磁し、このリレーコイルの磁力に応動するアーマチュア及びリレースイッチによって方向指示スイッチを介して方向指示灯を点滅し、かつアーマチュアの弾性作用でダイアフラムを打撃して警報音を発するようにしたものがある。
【0003】
また、従来の打音機能付方向指示装置として、リレー装置内部にコンデンサ、リレーコイル及びリレースイッチと一体に構成されるアーマチュアを備え、コンデンサの充放電作用を利用してリレーコイルを断続的に励磁し、このリレーコイルの磁力に応動するアーマチュア及びリレースイッチによって方向指示スイッチを介して方向指示灯を点滅し、かつアーマチュアの弾性作用でリレー装置のカバーを打撃して打音を発するようにしたものがある。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、実公昭57−5227号公報に記載されている打音機能付方向指示装置には、リレー装置内部に発振器を備えているので、リレー装置が高価になるという課題がある。
【0005】
また、コンデンサの充放電作用を利用した従来の打音機能付方向指示装置において、コンデンサ充電中でアーマチュアを吸引し、コンデンサ充電完了でアーマチュアが消磁されて打音を発生させるように設定したものにおいて、コンデンサ充電中に方向指示スイッチをオフした場合に、その瞬間にアーマチュアが消磁されて打音を生じた後、コンデンサからの放電電流によってリレーコイルを再び励磁してアーマチュアが吸引され、次第に放電電流の減少に伴って吸引力が弱まり、アーマチュアの弾性作用で復帰した時に、方向指示灯を消灯しているのにもかかわらず、再度アーマチュアがリレー装置のカバーを打撃して打音を発し、違和感のある表示機能となるという課題がある。
【0006】
本発明は、上記した従来技術の課題を解決するためになされたものであって、その目的は、リレー装置内部にコンデンサ、リレーコイル及びリレースイッチを備え、打音発生短縮手段をリレー装置の両端子に並列接続して方向指示スイッチをオフ状態にしてからの打音発生までの時間を短くして表示機能としての違和感を解消し、小型で安価な打音機能付方向指示装置を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る打音機能付方向指示装置は、コンデンサ、リレーコイル及び打音鉄片を有する打音機能付リレー装置と、方向指示灯と、方向指示スイッチと、運転者が方向指示スイッチの操作を確認するための表示灯とを備え、コンデンサの充放電を繰り返すことにより断続してリレーコイルを励磁することで、方向指示スイッチを介して方向指示灯が点滅するとともに、打音鉄片が打音機能付リレー装置のカバーを打撃して打音を発する装置であり、さらに、打音機能付リレー装置が有するコンデンサに蓄積された電荷による放電電流を流す放電用抵抗の両端子に並列に表示灯を接続して、コンデンサからの放電電流を放電用抵抗とともに表示灯に流すことによりコンデンサの放電時間を短縮し、方向指示スイッチをオフ状態にしてからの打音が発するまでの時間を短縮したことを特徴とする。
【0008】
本発明に係る打音機能付方向指示装置は、打音機能付リレー装置が有するコンデンサに蓄積された電荷による放電電流を流す放電用抵抗の両端子に並列に表示灯を接続して、コンデンサからの放電電流を放電用抵抗とともに表示灯にも放電することにより、コンデンサの放電時間を短縮し、かかる表示灯を利用した打音発生短縮手段によりコンデンサの電荷を減少させることで、方向指示スイッチをオフ状態にしてからの打音が発するまでの時間を短縮したので、方向指示灯が消灯しているのにもかかわらず、打音機能付リレー装置のカバーを前記打音鉄片が打撃して打音を発することがなくなり、方向指示灯の表示機能としての違和感を解消することができる。また打音発生短絡手段として運転者が方向指示スイッチの操作を確認するための表示灯を用いたので、部品点数を減らすことができる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて以下に説明する。
図1は本発明に係る打音機能付方向指示装置の電気回路図である。
図1において、打音機能付方向指示装置1は、打音機能付リレー装置2と、打音発生短縮手段3としての表示灯7、方向指示スイッチ4と、方向指示灯(5,6)とを備える。
打音機能付リレー装置2は、その内部に、リレーコイル(A,B)と、リレースイッチS2と、コンデンサC1と、放電用抵抗R1とを備える。
【0012】
図2は本発明に係る打音機能付方向指示装置の動作説明図である。
図2は本発明に係る打音機能付方向指示装置1の(1)方向指示スイッチ4、(2)コンデンサ充放電電流、(3)リレースイッチS2、(4)表示灯7、(5)方向指示灯電流Is、(6)方向指示灯(5,6)および(7)打音の状態の時間変化を示したものである。
本発明に係る打音機能付方向指示装置1の表示機能を図1と図2とを用いて説明する。
【0013】
打音機能付方向指示装置1は、方向指示スイッチ4がオフからオンに切り替わった瞬間から動作を開始する。
方向指示スイッチ4の端子Cが端子L、または端子Rと接続されると、キースイッチS1を介して車両電源VBと打音機能付リレー装置2と方向指示灯(5,6)とから成る閉回路が形成される。
図2の(1)の時間t1は方向指示スイッチ4をオフからオンに切り替えた瞬間を表わす。
【0014】
方向指示スイッチ4をオフからオンに切り替えた瞬間(t1)からリレーコイルAに励磁電流が流れてリレーコイルAを励磁し、リレーコイルAに生じる磁力によって後述する打音鉄片12(図3)を吸引してリレースイッチS2をオンからオフにする。
【0015】
リレースイッチS2がオフになると、コンデンサC1に充電電流Icが流れてリレーコイルAとリレーコイルBとを励磁し、リレーコイルAとリレーコイルBとに生ずる磁力によってリレースイッチS2のオフ状態を保持する。
リレースイッチS2のオフ状態が保持されている間は、コンデンサC1とリレーコイルBとリレーコイルAと打音機能付リレー装置2の端子T1及び端子T2に並列接続した表示灯7とから成る閉回路に放電電流Idlが流れて表示灯7を点灯する。
【0016】
このリレースイッチS2のオフ状態時の充電電流Ic、表示灯7、方向指示灯電流Is、方向指示灯5及び打音の状態を図2の時間(t1〜t2)に示す。
【0017】
充電電流Icは、充電電流IcによってコンデンサC1に蓄積された電荷量の増加に伴い減少する。
後述する打音鉄片12(図3)は、充電電流Icの減少と共にリレーコイルAとリレーコイルBの磁力による吸引力が弱まって打音鉄片12の弾性力によって打音機能付リレー装置2のカバーを打撃して打音を発生すると同時に、リレースイッチS2をオフ状態からオン状態に切り替える。
図2の(3)の時間t2は、リレースイッチS2がオフ状態からオン状態に切り替わった瞬間を表わす。
【0018】
リレースイッチS2がオフ状態からオン状態に切り替わると、車両電源VBとリレーコイルAとリレースイッチS2と方向指示スイッチ4と方向指示灯5とからなる閉回路が形成され、方向指示灯電流Isが方向指示灯5に流れて方向指示灯5を点灯する。
【0019】
また、リレースイッチS2がオフ状態からオン状態に切り替わると、コンデンサC1とリレーコイルBとリレースイッチS2とからなる閉回路が形成され、方向指示灯電流IsによるリレーコイルAの励磁を妨げる方向に放電電流IdがリレーコイルBに流れてリレースイッチS2をオン状態に保持する。
リレースイッチS2のオン状態が保持されている間は、表示灯7が消灯点灯する。
【0020】
このリレースイッチS2のオン状態時の放電電流Id、表示灯7、方向指示灯電流Is、方向指示灯5及び打音の状態を図2の時間(t2〜t3)に示す。
【0021】
放電電流Idは、コンデンサC1に蓄積された電荷量の減少に伴い減少する。
方向指示灯電流IsによるリレーコイルAの励磁を妨げる方向に放電電流Idが減少すると、後述する打音鉄片12(図3)はリレーコイルAが励磁されて再び吸引され、リレースイッチS2をオン状態からオフ状態に切り替える。
【0022】
リレースイッチS2がオン状態からオフ状態に切り替わると、コンデンサC1に再び充電電流Icが流れてリレーコイルAとリレーコイルBとを励磁し、リレーコイルAとリレーコイルBとに生ずる磁力によってリレースイッチS2のオフ状態を保持する。
リレースイッチS2のオフ状態が保持されている間は、表示灯7が点灯し、方向指示灯5が消灯し、打音は消音となる。
【0023】
このリレースイッチS2のオフ状態時の充電電流Ic、表示灯7、方向指示灯電流Is、方向指示灯5及び打音の状態を図2の時間(t3〜t4)に示す。
【0024】
方向指示スイッチ4がオフされるまで、リレースイッチS2のオン/オフとコンデンサC1とによる充放電を繰返すことによって方向指示灯(5または6)と表示灯7とを点滅し、方向指示灯(5または6)または表示灯7の点滅と同期した打音を発生する。
【0025】
図2の時間t6に示すように、リレースイッチS2がオフ状態で、充電電流IcによるコンデンサC1の充電中に方向指示スイッチ4をオンからオフにした瞬間は、リレーコイル(A,B)が消磁されて打音鉄片12の弾性力によって打音機能付リレー装置2のカバーを打撃して打音を発生すると共にリレースイッチS2がオン状態になる。
【0026】
その結果、コンデンサC1からの放電電流IdによってリレーコイルBは、再び励磁され、打音鉄片12(図3)を吸引してリレースイッチS2をオフ状態にする。
リレースイッチS2がオフ状態になると、リレーコイル(A,B)は、コンデンサC1とリレーコイルBとリレーコイルAと抵抗R1とから成る閉回路に流れる放電電流Idrと、コンデンサC1とリレーコイルBとリレーコイルAと表示灯7とから成る閉回路に流れる放電電流Idlとによって励磁され、リレースイッチS2のオフ状態を保持する。
【0027】
リレーコイル(A,B)による打音鉄片12の吸引力は、リレーコイル(A,B)に流れる放電電流(Idr,Idl)の減少に伴って弱まり、打音鉄片12の弾性作用で復帰した時に、方向指示灯が消灯しているのにもかかわらず、再度打音鉄片12が打音機能付リレー装置2のカバー(図3)を打撃して打音を発性する。
【0028】
その結果、リレーコイルAとリレーコイルBは、放電電流(Idr+Idl)によって励磁され、打音鉄片12(図3)を吸引し続けてリレースイッチS2をオフ状態に保持する。
【0029】
この時の表示灯7、方向指示灯電流Is、方向指示灯5及び打音の状態を図2の時間(t6〜t7)に示す。
【0030】
方向指示スイッチ4をオフにした後のコンデンサC1に蓄積された電荷量による放電電流が、放電用抵抗R1を流れる放電電流Idrのみであると、図2の時間t8に示すように、放電時間が長くなって方向指示スイッチ4をオフ状態にしてからの打音発生までの時間が長くなる。
【0031】
これに対して、方向指示スイッチ4をオフにした後のコンデンサC1に蓄積された電荷量による放電電流が、放電用抵抗R1と表示灯7とを流れる放電電流(Idr+Idl)であると、図2の時間t7に示すように、放電時間を短くして方向指示スイッチ4をオフ状態にしてからの打音発生までの時間を短くできる。
【0032】
このように、本発明に係る打音機能付方向指示装置1は、打音機能付リレー装置2の端子T1と端子T2とに表示灯7を並列接続して方向指示スイッチ4をオフにした後のコンデンサC1に蓄積された電荷量による放電時間を短くし、方向指示スイッチ4をオフ状態にしてからの打音の発生時間を短くすることができるので、表示機能としての違和感を解消することができる。
【0033】
図3は打音機能付リレー装置2の断面図を示したものである。
図3において、打音機能付リレー装置2は、ケース10と、ベース11と、打音鉄片12と、カバー13と、リレースイッチS2を構成する接点可動片14、可動接点15及び固定接点16と、リレーコイルAと、リレーコイルBと、抵抗R1と、コンデンサC1とを備える。
【0034】
接点可動片14の先端部には可動接点15が取り付けられており、可動接点15と対向する位置に固定接点16が配設されている。
打音鉄片12が作動しない状態において、可動接点15は固定接点16に当接しており、リレースイッチS2はオン状態である。
【0035】
打音鉄片12が作動しない状態において、打音鉄片12の先端部はカバー13に当接している。
打音鉄片12は、リレーコイルAとリレーコイルBとが断続的に励磁されると、リレーコイルAとリレーコイルBとに生じる磁力による断続的な吸引力によって作動する。
【0036】
打音鉄片12は、リレーコイルAとリレーコイルBとに生じる磁力によって吸引され、リレースイッチS2に作用してリレースイッチS2をオフする。
次に、打音鉄片12は、リレーコイルAとリレーコイルBとの励磁が消滅すると打音鉄片12の弾性力によって復帰することにより、カバー13を打撃して打音を発生すると共に、リレースイッチS2への作用を解いてリレースイッチS2をオンする。
【0037】
なお、上記実施形態は本発明の一実施例であり、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではない。
【0038】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上記構成により次の効果を発揮する。
本発明に係る打音機能付方向指示装置は、打音機能付リレー装置の両端子に並列接続して方向指示スイッチをオフ状態にしてからの打音発生までの時間を短くする打音発生短縮手段を備え、表示機能としての違和感を解消することができるので、商品性の向上ができる。
【0039】
また、本発明に係る打音機能付方向指示装置は、打音発生短縮手段に、運転者が方向指示スイッチの操作を確認するための表示灯を用い、部品点数を減らすことができるので、小型で、安価にすることができる。
【0040】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a direction indication device with a sounding function, and more particularly to a direction indication device with a sounding function that allows a driver to confirm blinking of a direction indication light by sounding.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a conventional direction indicating device with a sounding function, for example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-5227, an armature and a diaphragm integrally formed with an oscillator, a relay coil, and a relay switch are provided inside the relay device, The relay coil is intermittently excited by the output of the oscillator, the direction indicator lamp flashes through the direction indicator switch by the armature and relay switch that responds to the magnetic force of the relay coil, and the diaphragm is struck by the elastic action of the armature. There is something that sounds an alarm.
[0003]
In addition, as a conventional direction indication device with a hammering function, an armature configured integrally with a capacitor, a relay coil and a relay switch is provided inside the relay device, and the relay coil is intermittently excited by utilizing the charging / discharging action of the capacitor. The armature and relay switch that responds to the magnetic force of the relay coil blinks the direction indicator lamp via the direction indicator switch, and strikes the cover of the relay device by the elastic action of the armature to generate a hitting sound. There is.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the direction indication device with a hitting function described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-5227 has a problem that the relay device becomes expensive because the relay device includes an oscillator.
[0005]
Also, in the conventional direction indication device with a sounding function using the charging / discharging action of the capacitor, the armature is attracted while the capacitor is being charged, and the armature is demagnetized upon completion of the capacitor charging so as to generate a sounding sound. When the direction switch is turned off while the capacitor is being charged, the armature is demagnetized at that moment, and a hitting sound is generated. Then, the relay coil is re-excited by the discharge current from the capacitor, and the armature is gradually attracted. When the armature is restored by the elastic action of the armature, the armature strikes the relay device cover again and makes a noise when the armature is restored by the elastic action of the armature. There is a problem that the display function becomes.
[0006]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a capacitor, a relay coil, and a relay switch inside the relay device, and to reduce the sound generation reduction means at both ends of the relay device. To provide a small and inexpensive direction indicator device with a sound-sounding function by shortening the time from the turn of the direction-indicating switch connected in parallel to a child to shorten the time until the sound is generated to eliminate the sense of discomfort as a display function. It is in.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a direction indication device with a sounding function according to the present invention includes a relay device with a sounding function having a capacitor, a relay coil and a sounding iron piece, a direction indication light, a direction indication switch, and a driver. Is equipped with an indicator lamp for confirming the operation of the direction indicator switch, and by intermittently energizing the relay coil by repeatedly charging and discharging the capacitor, the direction indicator lamp blinks through the direction indicator switch, The hammering iron piece strikes the cover of the relay device with a hammering function and emits a hammering sound, and further, both ends of a discharging resistor for passing a discharge current due to the electric charge accumulated in the capacitor of the relay device with the hammering function. A direction indicator switch that shortens the capacitor discharge time by connecting an indicator lamp in parallel to the child and allowing the discharge current from the capacitor to flow through the indicator lamp together with the discharge resistor. Characterized in that reducing time to emit the hitting sound from in the off state.
[0008]
The direction indication device with a sounding function according to the present invention is configured by connecting an indicator lamp in parallel to both terminals of a discharging resistor for flowing a discharge current due to electric charges accumulated in a capacitor of the relay device with a sounding function. The discharge current is discharged to the indicator lamp together with the discharge resistor, so that the capacitor discharge time is shortened. Since the time until the hitting sound is generated after being turned off has been shortened, the hitting iron piece hits the cover of the relay device with a hitting function even though the direction indicator lamp is turned off. No hitting sound is generated, and the uncomfortable feeling as a display function of the direction indicator lamp can be eliminated. In addition, since the driver uses an indicator lamp for confirming the operation of the direction indicating switch as the sound generation short-circuit means, the number of parts can be reduced.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is an electric circuit diagram of a direction indicating device with a sound hitting function according to the present invention.

The relay device 2 with a hammering function includes therein a relay coil (A, B), a relay switch S2, a capacitor C1, and a discharging resistor R1.
[0012]
FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of the operation of the direction indicating device with a sounding function according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows (1) direction indicating switch 4, (2) capacitor charging / discharging current, (3) relay switch S2, (4) indicator lamp 7, and (5) direction of the direction indicating device 1 with a sounding function according to the present invention. The change over time of the indicator lamp current Is, (6) the direction indicator lamps (5, 6) and (7) the sound of the beating sound is shown.
The display function of the direction indicating device 1 with a sounding function according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0013]
The direction indicating device 1 with a sounding function starts its operation from the moment when the direction indicating switch 4 is switched from OFF to ON.
When the terminal C of the direction indicating switch 4 is connected to the terminal L or the terminal R, the vehicle power source VB, the relay device 2 with a sounding function, and the direction indicating lamp (5, 6) are closed via the key switch S1. A circuit is formed.
The time t1 in FIG. 2 (1) represents the moment when the direction indicating switch 4 is switched from OFF to ON.
[0014]
From the moment (t1) when the direction indicating switch 4 is switched from OFF to ON, an exciting current flows through the relay coil A to excite the relay coil A, and a sounding iron piece 12 (FIG. 3) to be described later is applied by the magnetic force generated in the relay coil A. Suction is performed to turn the relay switch S2 from on to off.
[0015]
When the relay switch S2 is turned off, the charging current Ic flows through the capacitor C1 to excite the relay coil A and the relay coil B, and the OFF state of the relay switch S2 is maintained by the magnetic force generated in the relay coil A and the relay coil B. .
While the relay switch S2 is kept off, the closed circuit is composed of the capacitor C1, the relay coil B, the relay coil A, and the indicator lamp 7 connected in parallel to the terminal T1 and the terminal T2 of the relay device 2 with a sounding function. The discharge current Idl flows through the indicator lamp 7 to light up.

The charging current Ic, the indicator lamp 7, the direction indicator lamp current Is, the direction indicator lamp 5, and the sounding state when the relay switch S2 is OFF are shown in the time (t1 to t2) in FIG.
[0017]
The charging current Ic decreases as the amount of charge accumulated in the capacitor C1 by the charging current Ic increases.
The hammering iron piece 12 (FIG. 3), which will be described later, covers the cover of the relay device 2 with a hammering function by the elastic force of the hammering iron piece 12 as the charging current Ic decreases and the magnetic force of the relay coil A and the relay coil B weakens. At the same time as generating a hitting sound, the relay switch S2 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state.
The time t2 in (3) of FIG. 2 represents the moment when the relay switch S2 is switched from the off state to the on state.
[0018]
When the relay switch S2 is switched from the off state to the on state, a closed circuit including the vehicle power source VB, the relay coil A, the relay switch S2, the direction indicating switch 4, and the direction indicating lamp 5 is formed, and the direction indicating lamp current Is is directed. It flows to the indicator lamp 5 and turns on the direction indicator lamp 5.
[0019]
Further, when the relay switch S2 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state, a closed circuit including the capacitor C1, the relay coil B, and the relay switch S2 is formed, and the discharge is performed in a direction that hinders the excitation of the relay coil A by the direction indicator lamp current Is. The current Id flows through the relay coil B and keeps the relay switch S2 in the ON state.
While the ON state of the relay switch S2 is maintained, the indicator lamp 7 is turned off.
[0020]
The discharge current Id, the indicator lamp 7, the direction indicator lamp current Is, the direction indicator lamp 5 and the sounding state when the relay switch S2 is on are shown in the time (t2 to t3) in FIG.
[0021]
The discharge current Id decreases as the charge amount stored in the capacitor C1 decreases.
When the discharge current Id decreases in a direction that hinders the excitation of the relay coil A by the direction indicator lamp current Is, the hammering iron piece 12 (FIG. 3), which will be described later, is attracted again when the relay coil A is excited, and the relay switch S2 is turned on. Switch from off to off.
[0022]
When the relay switch S2 is switched from the on state to the off state, the charging current Ic flows again through the capacitor C1 to excite the relay coil A and the relay coil B, and the relay switch S2 is generated by the magnetic force generated in the relay coil A and the relay coil B. Keep the off state.
While the OFF state of the relay switch S2 is maintained, the indicator lamp 7 is turned on, the direction indicator lamp 5 is turned off, and the hitting sound is muted.
[0023]
The charging current Ic, the indicator lamp 7, the direction indicator lamp current Is, the direction indicator lamp 5, and the sounding state when the relay switch S2 is OFF are shown in the time (t3 to t4) in FIG.
[0024]
Until the direction indication switch 4 is turned off, the direction indicator lamp (5 or 6) and the indicator lamp 7 blink by repeating ON / OFF of the relay switch S2 and charging / discharging by the capacitor C1, and the direction indication lamp (5 Or, 6) or a hitting sound synchronized with blinking of the indicator lamp 7 is generated.
[0025]
As shown at time t6 in FIG. 2, the relay coil (A, B) is demagnetized at the moment when the direction switch 4 is turned off while the relay switch S2 is off and the capacitor C1 is being charged by the charging current Ic. Thus, the cover of the relay device 2 with a sounding function is struck by the elastic force of the sounding iron piece 12 to generate a sound and the relay switch S2 is turned on.
[0026]
As a result, the relay coil B is excited again by the discharge current Id from the capacitor C1, attracting the hammering iron piece 12 (FIG. 3) and turning off the relay switch S2.
When the relay switch S2 is turned off, the relay coils (A, B) are connected to the discharge current Idr flowing through the closed circuit composed of the capacitor C1, the relay coil B, the relay coil A, and the resistor R1, the capacitor C1, and the relay coil B. The relay switch S2 is excited by the discharge current Idl flowing in the closed circuit composed of the relay coil A and the indicator lamp 7, and the relay switch S2 is kept off.
[0027]
The attraction force of the hammered iron piece 12 by the relay coil (A, B) becomes weaker as the discharge current (Idr, Idl) flowing through the relay coil (A, B) decreases, and is restored by the elastic action of the hammered iron piece 12. Sometimes, the sounding iron piece 12 strikes the cover (FIG. 3) of the relay device 2 with a sounding function again to emit a sound even though the direction indicator lamp is turned off.
[0028]
As a result, the relay coil A and the relay coil B are excited by the discharge current (Idr + Idl), and continue to attract the hammering iron piece 12 (FIG. 3) to hold the relay switch S2 in the OFF state.
[0029]
The state of the indicator lamp 7, the direction indicator lamp current Is, the direction indicator lamp 5, and the hitting sound at this time is shown in time (t6 to t7) in FIG.
[0030]
If the discharge current due to the amount of charge accumulated in the capacitor C1 after turning off the direction indicating switch 4 is only the discharge current Idr flowing through the discharge resistor R1, the discharge time is as shown at time t8 in FIG. The time from when the direction indicating switch 4 is turned off to when the hit sound is generated becomes longer.
[0031]
On the other hand, if the discharge current due to the amount of charge accumulated in the capacitor C1 after turning off the direction indicating switch 4 is the discharge current (Idr + Idl) flowing through the discharge resistor R1 and the indicator lamp 7, FIG. As shown at time t7, the discharge time can be shortened to shorten the time from when the direction indicating switch 4 is turned off until the hitting sound is generated.
[0032]
As described above, the direction indication device 1 with a sounding function according to the present invention has the indicator light 7 connected in parallel to the terminal T1 and the terminal T2 of the relay device 2 with a sounding function and turns off the direction indication switch 4. Since the discharge time due to the amount of charge stored in the capacitor C1 can be shortened and the generation time of the hitting sound after the direction indicating switch 4 is turned off can be shortened, the uncomfortable feeling as a display function can be eliminated. it can.
[0033]
FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the relay device 2 with a sounding function.
In FIG. 3, the relay device 2 with a sounding function includes a case 10, a base 11, a sounding iron piece 12, a cover 13, a movable contact piece 14, a movable contact 15 and a fixed contact 16 constituting a relay switch S2. , Relay coil A, relay coil B, resistor R1, and capacitor C1.
[0034]
A movable contact 15 is attached to the tip of the contact movable piece 14, and a fixed contact 16 is disposed at a position facing the movable contact 15.
In a state where the hammering iron piece 12 does not operate, the movable contact 15 is in contact with the fixed contact 16, and the relay switch S2 is in an ON state.
[0035]
In a state where the hammering iron piece 12 is not activated, the tip of the hammering iron piece 12 is in contact with the cover 13.
When the relay coil A and the relay coil B are intermittently excited, the hammering iron piece 12 is operated by an intermittent attractive force due to the magnetic force generated in the relay coil A and the relay coil B.
[0036]
The hammering iron piece 12 is attracted by the magnetic force generated in the relay coil A and the relay coil B, acts on the relay switch S2, and turns off the relay switch S2.
Next, when the excitation of the relay coil A and the relay coil B disappears, the hammering iron piece 12 is restored by the elastic force of the hammering iron piece 12 to strike the cover 13 and generate a hammering sound. The relay switch S2 is turned on by releasing the action on S2.
[0037]
