Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention is directed to a safety belt-wearing guide that prevents a driver from starting or running an automobile unless he or she wears a safety belt, and which guides the driver to wear a safety belt. It is related to the device.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, with the increase in the number of automobiles, traffic accidents are occurring more frequently, and the number of casualties caused by these accidents is also increasing. Therefore, even if a traffic accident occurs, serious injuries may occur.
To prevent death or injury, cars are equipped with safety belt devices and drivers are required to wear safety belts.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the conventional safety belt device includes a fixing belt 8 with one end fixed to the lower part of the driver's seat and a safety belt fixing body 1 attached to the other end, and one end attached to the center pillar. It consists of a safety belt 9 which is fixed to the main body and has a latch 6 attached to the other end.

[0004] Then, the safety belt 9 is extended and the latch 6 is
By inserting the latch into the latch insertion hole 1a formed in the safety belt fixing body 1, the safety belt 9 and the fixing belt 8 are connected, and the safety belt can be worn.

[0005]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, even though cars are equipped with safety belts, many people drive without wearing safety belts because they have not had the habit of wearing safety belts. is the current situation.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and its purpose is to prevent the driver from starting and driving the vehicle unless he or she wears a safety belt, thereby preventing the inevitable To provide a safety belt wearing guidance device which guides a driver to wear a safety belt.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the safety belt wearing guidance device of the present invention has the following features: A connection switch body is fixed to the back side of a safety belt fixing body, and a pusher is fixed to the back side of the latch. , a guide groove for a front pusher is formed on the front surface of the connection switch body, a conductive terminal is provided in the connection switch body, and a connecting piece resiliently supported by a spring is brought into contact with the conductive terminal to connect the starting terminal of the key box. Connect it to one end of the engine connection switch, and
The starting relay coil is connected to the conductive terminal, the other end of the engine connection switch is freely connectable to a contact that connects to the engine, the running terminal of the key box is connected to one end of the spark coil connection switch, and the running relay is connected to the conductive terminal via the starting relay coil. The safety belt wearing guidance device is characterized in that the spark coil connection switch is connected to the conductive terminal via a coil, and the other end of the spark coil connection switch is connectable to a contact point that connects to the spark coil.

[0008]

[Operation] When the driver does not wear a safety belt, the connecting piece 5 is in contact with the conductive terminals 3 and 4, and by placing the key in the starting terminal 11 position of the key box, the starting relay coil 13 is activated. Electricity is supplied, the engine connection switch 14 is released, and the engine 15 does not start.

[0009] When the driver wears a safety belt,
The pusher 7 is inserted into the guide groove 2a of the connection switch body 2,
Since the connecting piece 5 is separated from the conductive terminals 3 and 4 and the starting relay coil 13 is not energized, the engine connecting switch 13 is connected and the key is connected to the starting terminal 11.
By setting the key to the drive terminal 12 position, the engine 15 starts, and by setting the key to the running terminal 12 position, the spark coil 1
8 is activated and the car can be driven.

[0010] If the safety belt is released while driving,
The connecting piece 5 comes into contact with the conductive terminals 3 and 4, the traveling relay coil 16 is energized, the spark coil connecting switch 17 is opened, the spark coil 18 stops operating, and the vehicle cannot travel.

[0011]

Embodiments Examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The safety belt wearing guidance device of the present invention is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the connection switch body 2 is fixed to the back side of the safety belt fixing body 1 of the conventional safety belt device as described above, and one end of the pusher 7 is fixed to the back side of the latch 6. .

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the connection switch body 2 has a guide groove 2a formed on the front surface, and the guide groove 2a
Conductive terminals 3 and 4 are fixed to a nearby inner wall surface, and a connecting piece 5 supported by a spring 5a can come into contact with the conductive terminals 3 and 4 when the spring 5a is extended.

FIG. 6 shows the electrical circuit configuration of the safety belt wearing guide device.

A starting terminal 11 of the key box 10 is connected to one end of an engine connection switch 14 in a starting relay 13, and is also connected to the conductive terminal 3 via a starting relay coil 13a.

In the starting relay 13, the other end of the engine connection switch 14 can be freely connected to contact 2 or contact 3, so that when the other end of the engine connection switch 14 is connected to contact 2, the engine 15 is started. It has become.

Further, the running terminal 12 of the key box 10 is connected to one end of a spark coil connection switch 17 in the running relay 16, and is also connected to the conductive terminal 3 via the running relay coil 16a.

In the traveling relay 16, the other end of the spark coil connection switch 17 can be freely connected to contact 2 or contact 3, and when the other end of the spark coil connection switch 17 is connected to contact 2, the spark coil 18 is now operational.

The configuration of the present invention is as described above, and when the driver does not wear a safety belt, the conductive terminals 3 and 4 are connected via the connecting piece 5 and are in a conductive state, as shown in FIG. becomes.

At this time, when the key is placed in the starting terminal 11 position of the key box 10, the starting relay coil 14a is energized, the other end of the engine connection switch 14 is connected to the contact 3, and the engine 15 is not started.

When the driver inserts the latch 6 into the latch insertion hole 1a of the safety belt fixing body 1 and wears the safety belt, the pusher 7 is automatically inserted into the guide groove 2a of the connection switch body 2. As shown in FIG. 5, the tip of the pusher 7 comes into contact with the connecting piece 5, causing the spring 5a to contract and move backward. Therefore, the conductive terminals 3 and 4 are separated from the connecting piece 5, and the conductive terminals 3 and 4 are brought into a non-conducting state.

At this time, when the key is in the starting terminal 11 position, the starting relay coil 13a is not energized, so the other end of the engine connection switch 14 returns to contact 2 and is connected, and the engine 15 is started.

After starting the engine 15, when the key is set to the running terminal 12 position, the running relay coil 16a is not energized, so the other end of the spark coil connection switch 17 is connected to the contact 2, and the spark coil 18 is activated. and can drive a car.

When the safety belt is released while driving, the spring 5a expands and the connecting piece 5 contacts the conductive terminals 3 and 4, and the traveling relay coil 16a is energized, so that the other end of the spark coil connecting switch 17 is connected to contact 3,
Spark coil 18 does not operate. Therefore, it becomes impossible to drive.

[0025]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the safety belt wearing guidance device of the present invention, when the safety belt is not worn,
If the engine cannot be started and the safety belt is released while the vehicle is running, the spark coil will stop operating, so the driver can be inevitably guided to wear the safety belt.
