Description

  The present invention relates to a spotlight device for avoiding contact with an automobile, which is newly provided in place of an existing corner pole on the indoor side of an automobile windshield or an outdoor peripheral portion for avoiding contact with an obstacle ahead. is there.

Corner poles may be attached to the front corners of automobiles that are difficult to see from the driver's seat. In particular, corner poles are often attached to the front corners on the passenger side that are most difficult to see from the driver's seat. Using this corner pole as a landmark, it is used as a guide for driving operations so that the front corner of the car, which is difficult to see from the driver's seat, does not come into contact with obstacles in front.

However, in the invention of the structure having the corner pole described above, it is not easy to determine the distance from the corner pole attached to the front end corner portion of the automobile to the obstacle in the front, and the headlight is particularly difficult when it is dark. The distance determination becomes even easier due to influences or the like.
When the corner pole is attached to the front end corner portion of the automobile, the strength required to attach the corner pole is required for the front end corner portion of the automobile. However, when the strength is insufficient, the corner pole cannot be attached.
In some recent automobiles, the height from the corner pole mounting position to the field of view that can be seen from the driver's seat is high, so it is necessary to use a pole with a high height. Therefore, it is required to increase the strength of the portion to which the corner pole is attached, and to increase the strength of the corner pole itself.
Further, the corner pole generally has a bad appearance and also has an air resistance during traveling, and therefore, it tends to be generally unwilling to attach.

Therefore, the applicant of the present application has developed a spotlight for avoiding contact with an automobile that is completely different from the structure of the corner pole, as a solution to the problem of the corner pole, and has already filed a patent application (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-92821), Although the problem of the corner pole is solved, the following new problem can be considered in the invention of the patent application (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-92821).
That is, spotlight illuminating lamps provided at two locations apart from the front end corner of the vehicle are directed obliquely upward in the front direction. Therefore, unless the vehicle is very close to the front end corner of the vehicle, walking forward This spotlight hardly enters the field of view of the driver or the driver of the oncoming vehicle, and has the advantage of not obstructing or obstructing the field of vision of these persons, but is obstructed when the height of the obstacle is low Unless the object touches the object, the light from the spotlight irradiation lamp may not be able to visually recognize the obstacle without hitting the obstacle surface.
Also, it cannot be used when the driver wants to use the vehicle to avoid contact between the front end portion other than the front end corner portion of the automobile and the obstacle.

  In view of the above-described problems, the present invention has been devised to solve the problems, and the object of the present invention is from two locations apart from the indoor side of the automobile windshield or the outdoor peripheral part. Easily avoid contact by judging the distance from the front edge or front corner of the car to the front obstacle by irradiating different light so that it crosses at one point at a predetermined distance toward the front obstacle surface An object of the present invention is to provide a spotlight device for avoiding contact with an automobile that can be achieved.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 irradiates light that reflects different spotlights on the front obstacle surface at two locations on the indoor side of the windshield of the automobile or on the outdoor peripheral portion. Each spotlight irradiation lamp is provided, and the irradiation direction of each of the two spotlight irradiation lamps can be visually recognized from the driver's seat of the automobile at a predetermined distance from the front end of the front end of the automobile to the front obstacle. It consists of means oriented to project spotlights that intersect at a point on the surface of the obstacle in the range.

  Here, as a preferable aspect of the invention of claim 1, each spotlight irradiation lamp may irradiate light that reflects a spotlight of a different color on the front obstacle surface, and each spotlight irradiation lamp The front obstacle surface may be irradiated with light that reflects spotlights that are lit and blinking differently, and each spotlight illuminating lamp is a blinking spot at a different speed on the front obstacle surface. You may make it each irradiate the light which projects a light. In addition to Claim 1, as a preferred aspect of Claims 2 to 4, each spotlight irradiation lamp combines a plurality of irradiation lamps into differently shaped aggregates to provide spotlights of different shapes on the front obstacle surface. You may make it irradiate each light to project. Further, as a preferred aspect of the invention of claim 1, the pair of spotlight illuminating lamps may be provided on the indoor side of the windshield of the automobile, and furthermore, a plurality of pairs of spotlight illuminating lamps are provided in different directions. You may irradiate each towards.

As is clear from the above description, according to the spotlight device for avoiding contact with an automobile according to the invention of claim 1, when a spotlight intersecting at one point is projected on the surface of an obstacle ahead, the front end of the automobile The distance from the front edge of the part to the front obstacle can be determined as a predetermined distance, and if it does not intersect with one point, it is farther than the predetermined distance due to the difference in the light of the spotlights that can be formed at two places on the front obstacle surface. It is possible to easily determine the degree of close approach. In particular, when it is dark, it is a spotlight of light, so that it becomes easier to see. In this way, the distance to the obstacle can be predicted to some extent in the state of the spotlight formed on the front obstacle surface, thereby improving the accuracy of the driving operation for avoiding contact.
Also, compared to existing corner poles that are attached to the front corners of automobiles that are difficult to see from the driver's seat, they do not attach pole-like objects that are so high as poles, so they should be easily installed in areas that do not have enough strength. Can do. Moreover, unlike a corner pole, it is not visible from the outside, so that it does not look bad and does not cause air resistance during running.
In addition, since each spotlight irradiation lamp is provided on the indoor side of the car windshield or the outdoor peripheral part that is equal to or higher than the height of the front end of the bonnet, the direction of each spotlight irradiation lamp is horizontal or forward slightly diagonally downward. It is possible to project a spotlight on the surface of the obstacle, even if the obstacle is not so high that the obstacle is only as high as the hood of an automobile, and it is not necessary to be diagonally upward and forward, and the obstacle is not too high It is possible to visually recognize an object, and it is possible to easily avoid contact, so that an extremely beneficial effect can be obtained.

  Moreover, when each spotlight irradiation lamp irradiates the light which projects the spotlight of a different color on the surface of the front obstacle like Claim 2, when a spotlight does not cross at one point, it is an obstacle ahead Depending on the difference in the color of the light of the spotlights formed at two places on the surface, it is possible to easily determine the degree of approach farther or closer than a predetermined distance.

  Moreover, when each spotlight irradiation lamp irradiates the light which reflects the spotlight with a different lighting state and blinking state on the surface of the obstacle ahead, when the spotlight does not intersect at one point Depending on the difference between the lighting state and the blinking state of the spotlight formed at two locations on the front obstacle surface, it is possible to easily determine the degree of approach farther or closer than a predetermined distance. In particular, the present invention can also be used when the surface of the obstacle is colored, for example, and the difference in the color of the spotlight is not accurately reflected.

  Further, as in claim 4, when each spotlight irradiation lamp irradiates light that reflects a blinking spotlight at a different speed on the surface of an obstacle ahead, when the spotlights do not intersect at one point Depending on the difference in the speed of the blinking state of the light of the spotlights formed at two locations on the front obstacle surface, it is possible to easily determine the degree of approach farther or closer than a predetermined distance. In particular, the present invention can also be used when the surface of the obstacle is colored, for example, and the difference in the color of the spotlight is not accurately reflected.

  Further, as in claim 5, each spotlight illuminating lamp is used when a plurality of illuminating lamps are combined with differently shaped aggregates to irradiate light that reflects spotlights having different shapes on the front obstacle surface. When the spotlights do not intersect at one point, the degree of approach farther or closer than a predetermined distance can be easily determined by the difference in the shape of the light of the spotlights formed at two places on the front obstacle surface. In particular, the present invention can also be used when the surface of the obstacle is colored, for example, and the difference in the color of the spotlight is not accurately reflected. In addition, each spotlight illuminating lamp is an aggregate of multiple illuminating lamps, so it can project a larger image on the surface of an obstacle than a single illuminating lamp, and even a person with weak eyesight can clearly see it. it can. In addition to this shape difference, it is also possible to combine color differences, flashing presence / absence differences, flashing speed differences, etc., and by further combining these, the difference in spotlight light will become clearer Is possible.

  Further, when the pair of spotlight illuminating lamps is provided on the indoor side of the windshield of the automobile as in claim 6, there is no fear of electric leakage because it does not get wet with rain, for example, dust on the outside As a result, the spotlight lamp is not soiled. Further, since the pair of spotlight illuminating lamps is within the reach of the driver's seat, fine adjustments can be easily performed according to the driver's eyes.

  Also, as in claim 7, when a plurality of pairs of spotlight illuminating lamps are provided and irradiated in different directions, a plurality of places such as the front left, the front, the front right can be confirmed at a time, The possibility of avoiding contact with the front end of the automobile can be further increased.

The light 2a or the circular light 2a and, for example, the green light 3a, the flashing light 3a, the slowly flashing light 3a, or the cross-shaped light 3a emitted from the left spotlight irradiation lamp 3 are the driver's seat. One spotlight 1 is projected across the surface of the obstacle a having a height visible from the side. When the spotlight 1 projected on the surface of the obstacle a intersects at one point, the driver has a predetermined distance L from the front end corner portion 4a of the automobile to the front obstacle a, for example, 30 cm to 50 cm. It is possible to immediately determine that there is, and according to this determination, a driving operation for avoiding contact can be performed.

  When the distance from the front end corner portion 4a on the passenger seat side to the front obstacle a is shorter than the predetermined distance L, for example, the red light 2a emitted from the right spotlight illuminating lamp 2, the light 2a to be lit, and blinking quickly Light 2a or circular light 2a is located on the right side of the surface of the obstacle a which is visible from the driver's seat on the right side of the red spotlight 1, the spotlight 1 that turns on, the spotlight 1 that flashes quickly, or a circle A spotlight 1 with a shape is projected. Further, for example, the green light 3a, the flashing light 3a, the slowly flashing light 3a, or the cross-shaped light 3a emitted from the left spotlight irradiation lamp 3 is the surface of the obstacle a having a height that can be seen from the driver's seat. A green spotlight 1, a flashing spotlight 1, a slowly flashing spotlight 1, or a cross-shaped spotlight 1 is displayed on the left side. When the color of the right spotlight 1 projected on the surface of the obstacle a is red and the color of the left spotlight 1 is green, the driver turns on the right spotlight 1 and turns on the left spotlight 1. In the blinking state, when the right spotlight 1 is blinking fast and the left spotlight 1 is blinking slowly, or when the right spotlight 1 is circular and the left spotlight 1 is cross-shaped, It can be immediately determined that the distance from the front end corner portion 4a of the automobile to the front obstacle a is shorter than a predetermined distance L of, for example, 30 cm to 50 cm, and a driving operation for avoiding contact can be performed according to this determination.

  When the distance from the front end corner portion 4a on the passenger seat side to the front obstacle a is longer than the predetermined distance L, for example, the red light 2a emitted from the right spotlight illuminating lamp 2, the light 2a to be lit, and flashing quickly The light 2a or the circular light 2a is located on the left side of the surface of the obstacle a having a height that can be seen from the driver's seat. A spotlight 1 with a shape is projected. Further, for example, the green light 3a, the flashing light 3a, the slowly flashing light 3a, or the cross-shaped light 3a emitted from the left spotlight irradiation lamp 3 is the surface of the obstacle a having a height that can be seen from the driver's seat. A green spotlight 1, a flashing spotlight 1, a slowly flashing spotlight 1, or a cross-shaped spotlight 1 is displayed on the right side of the screen. When the color of the left spotlight 1 projected on the surface of the obstacle a is red and the right spotlight 1 is green, the driver turns on the left spotlight 1 and turns on the right spotlight 1. In the blinking state, when the left spotlight 1 is blinking fast and the right spotlight 1 is blinking slowly, or when the left spotlight 1 is circular and the right spotlight 1 is cross-shaped, It can be immediately determined that the distance from the front end corner portion 4a of the automobile to the obstacle a ahead is longer than a predetermined distance L of, for example, 30 cm to 50 cm, and a driving operation for avoiding contact can be performed according to this determination.
