Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Technical field) The present invention relates to the improvement of a reflector in a vehicle revolving light installed on the roof of an emergency vehicle, a road maintenance work vehicle, etc., and particularly for use in urban areas. It is an object of the present invention to provide a revolving light for a vehicle that enhances the warning light effect diagonally forward and diagonally rearward of the vehicle, has a simple structure, and is inexpensive to manufacture.

(Prior Art) Conventional large revolving lights for vehicles, so-called diffused revolving lights, are constructed by combining a revolving light and a reflector, as shown in Figs. 4-1 and 4-2. In the case of a revolving light, the light was emitted all around, but the light reflected by the reflector was emitted only to the front and back. Therefore, the flowing and scattered light as if there were a plurality of light sources was not emitted to the sides, obliquely forward, and obliquely rearward. For this reason, especially for emergency vehicles that often enter intersections used in urban areas, there is a risk that the warning light for vehicles coming from the side of the intersection may not be sufficient, which poses a driving safety problem. It was becoming.

In addition, as a revolving light for a vehicle that emits a more powerful warning light diagonally forward and diagonally rearward, we have developed a revolving light that has a light source and a rotating mechanism and emits a rotating light, and a revolving light that emits a rotating light to the surroundings. When constructing a structure (hereinafter referred to as the optical device part) by appropriately arranging a reflector that emits light, flashing lights, etc., and enclosing a translucent globe, it is possible to add rotating lights or mount a speaker on a tower. A revolving light for a vehicle has been proposed in which the entire revolving light for a vehicle is made up of only a flashlight part. However, if additional revolving lights are installed, the vehicle revolving light itself will become larger, and if it consists only of the light device, there will be problems such as sirens and warnings not being sounded, and the vehicle revolving light itself will become larger. It has been desired to provide a revolving light for a vehicle that can emit a stronger warning light diagonally forward and diagonally rearward with a simple configuration without causing any problems.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned problems. Consisting of a reflector that reflects and emits rotating light to the surroundings,
The reflector has an oblique front, an oblique rear, and a front.
It has a simple configuration and increases the warning light diagonally forward and diagonally rearward, and is equipped with a reflecting part that reflects and emits the rotating lamp light at the rear and the rear side. The purpose is to improve visibility and alertness to oncoming vehicles, and to provide safer emergency driving.

(Example) An example according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the configuration of the vehicle revolving light 6 includes the revolving light 2 erected at both ends of the vehicle revolving light 6, and a flat front reflecting section 12a and a rear reflecting section 12b. A reflecting plate 1 is made of a dogleg shape and integrally formed with an ear-shaped diagonal reflective part 11a and a diagonal reflective part 11b at both ends of the dogleg shape. They are arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle revolving light 6 and covered with a light-transmitting globe 3 to form a light device section 4.

The rotating light 2 includes a light source, a reflecting mirror that rotates around the light source and reflects and emits light from the light source, and a rotating mechanism, and rotates around the entire circumference and emits light.

The reflector 1 is installed and fixed inside the rotating light 2, but the angle of inclination of each reflective part of the reflector 1 is not constant. The angle of inclination of each reflecting portion of the reflecting plate 1 is determined based on the positional relationship with the rotating light 2. That is, the front reflecting section 12a and the rear reflecting section 12b are set to have inclination angles such that they each have rotating lamp light reflecting angles centered on the front and rear with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle. Similarly, the oblique reflecting section 11a and the oblique reflecting section 11b are arranged with respect to the traveling direction of the vehicle.
The tilt angle is set so that the rotating light reflection angle is centered at 45 degrees. In addition, the front reflecting section 12
a, the rear reflecting section 12b, the oblique reflecting section 11a, and the oblique reflecting section 11b are preferably subjected to aluminum vapor deposition treatment or the like in order to effectively emit reflected light. Note that the oblique reflecting portion 11a and the oblique reflecting portion 11b are designed such that the angle of inclination is appropriately set to increase the reflection angle, taking into account conditions such as the type of vehicle in which the rotating vehicle light according to the present invention is used. do it.

The above-described light device parts 4 are arranged on the left and right, and a speaker part 5 is provided by mounting a speaker 51 in the center and surrounding it with a speaker cover 52, thereby constructing a rotating light for a vehicle. Here, when the rotating lamp 2 is caused to emit light in a rotational manner, the rotating light emission and the reflected light emission of the rotating lamp light by the front reflecting portion 12a of the reflector plate 1 alternately flow forward, resulting in diffused light emission. To the rear, the rotating light emission and the reflected light of the rotating lamp light by the front reflecting portion 12b of the reflector plate 1 flow alternately, resulting in diffused light emission. Similarly, the oblique reflection section 11a moves obliquely forward.
To the obliquely backward direction, the reflected light of the rotating lamp light is added to the rotating lamp light by the oblique reflecting section 11b, and the light flows alternately to be diffused and emitted.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.

A rotating light 21 having a light source and a rotating mechanism and rotating and emitting light is placed at both ends of the vehicle rotating light 61, and a rotating light 22 is provided approximately at the center of the rotating light 21 and the center speaker section 5, respectively. A reflector plate 7 that is installed upright and reflects and emits the rotating light emitted from the rotating light 2 in the front and rear directions and obliquely forward and backward directions is installed on both sides of the central speaker section 5 facing the rotating light 22, and on both sides of the central speaker section 5 and the rotating light 2. 21 and the revolving light 22 so as to be erected and fixed facing the revolving light 21 and the revolving light 22, respectively. These are surrounded by a globe to form the optical device section 4, and a speaker 51 is placed in the center.
A rotating light for a vehicle is constructed by mounting the speaker on the top and surrounding it with a speaker cover 52 to provide a speaker section 5. Here, when the rotating lights 21 and 22 are caused to emit light in a rotational manner, the rotating light emission from the rotating lights 21 and 22 and the reflected light emission of the rotating lamp light by the front reflecting portion 72a of the reflector plate 7 alternate in the forward direction. The light flows and is emitted in a diffused manner. To the rear, the rotating light emitted by the rotating lamps 21 and 22 and the reflected light from the rotating lamps 72a of the reflecting plate 7 flow alternately to emit diffused light. Similarly, the reflected light of the rotating lamp is added to the rotating lamp light obliquely forward by the oblique reflecting section 71a and obliquely rearward by the oblique reflecting section 71b, and the reflected light is added to the rotating lamp light to alternately flow and emit diffused light.

The reflecting plate 7 has a "dog"-shaped center part cut out by a flat top part 73 when viewed from above, and a flat front reflecting part 72a and a back reflecting part 72b are connected to the top part 72.
An oblique reflective part 71a and an oblique reflective part 71b in the form of ears are integrally formed at both ends of a "dog" shape that is in contact with both side surfaces and lacks a central portion, respectively.

Here, the reflecting plate 7, which is erected and fixed between the rotating lights 21 and 22 facing the rotating lights 21 and 22, respectively, is surrounded by a top surface part 72, a front reflecting part 72a, and a rear reflecting part 72b. Since it forms a space, it provides shielding and storage of parts that need to be shielded from the outside, such as the blinking board of a vehicle revolving light, a disconnection detector, a wiring connector part, etc.

As described above, in addition to the use of two rotating lights in the second embodiment of the present invention, the light source emits light as if it were flowing forward and backward and diagonally forward and backward using the reflector plate 7. has been realized, and has an extremely high warning effect and alerting effect. In addition, since the vehicle revolving light of this embodiment uses the reflector according to the present invention,
It is now possible to make the vehicle smaller than conventional rotating lights for vehicles with the same configuration without reducing the warning effect.

Moreover, the present invention can be effectively used for the vehicle revolving light shown in the embodiment, and it goes without saying that it can also be used for a warning device having the same technical idea.

(Effects) Since the present invention is configured as described above, it can provide warning effects in diagonal directions, which were lacking in conventional rotating vehicle lights.
The alerting effect is significantly improved by providing fluidized light emission.

In addition, the width of the reflector itself is narrowed, making it possible to miniaturize the vehicle revolving light without reducing its warning effect, and contributing to the saving of materials, which is highly effective in implementing the invention.
