Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To automatically release the hazard when leaving the vehicle. [Structure] A control means for canceling a hazard signal based on a signal from a turn signal switch is provided.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a hazard canceling device for a hazard lamp device of a vehicle in which a turn signal lamp and a hazard lamp are combined.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, the hazard switch of a hazard lamp used when an emergency stop of a vehicle is to be removed manually. In general, hazard lamps were also used as blinker lamps. Regarding the hazard lamp device, the present applicant proposes a technique for preventing collision with a parked vehicle in Japanese Patent Application No. 2-27185.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional hazard lamp system, if the driver forgets to release the hazard switch when starting after stopping the vehicle, the desired lamp will not be lit even if the blinker lever is operated, and the driver's will is transmitted to other vehicles. There was a risk of an accident because it was not there.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle hazard canceling device that automatically cancels a hazard when a vehicle starts.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, in a vehicle hazard lamp device in which a blinker lamp and a hazard lamp are combined, a control means for canceling the hazard signal based on a signal from the blinker switch is provided.

The control means is preferably composed of a control unit including a hazard signal input means, a blinker signal input means, and a hazard cancellation determination means connected to both of these means.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the vehicle hazard canceling device configured as described above, the control unit outputs the hazard canceling signal and cancels the hazard after the blinker lever switch signal is ON even if the hazard switch signal is ON. Lights up.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, front left and right and rear left and right turn signal lamps 1 a, 1 b and 1 c, 1 d are provided on the outside of the vehicle and are connected to the timer unit 2. The timer unit 2 is connected to a control unit 5, and a hazard switch 3 and a turn signal lever switch 4 are connected to the control unit 5, respectively.

In FIG. 2, the control unit 5 includes a hazard signal input means 5a to which a hazard switch 3 is connected, a winker signal input means 5b to which a winker lever switch 4 is connected, and both means 5a and 5b. Is provided with the hazard release determining means 5c, and the timer unit 2 is connected to the hazard release determining means 5c.

Next, the control mode will be described. In FIG. 3, the control unit 5 determines whether or not the input hazard switch signal is ON (step S1). If YES, it is judged whether or not the input blinker lever switch signal is ON (step S2). If YES, that is, if the blinker lever switch signal is ON even if the hazard switch signal is ON, the hazard release signal is sent. Output to the timer unit 2 to stop the hazard lighting of the turn signal lamps 1a to 1d (step S3). Then, a turn signal operation signal is output to the timer unit 2, the turn signal lamps 1a to 1d are turned on in a predetermined state (step S4), and the control is ended. If step S2 is NO, that is, if only the hazard signal is ON, the hazard operation signal is output to the timer unit 2, the turn signal lamps 1a to 1d are turned on (step S5), and the control ends. . If step S1 is NO, it is determined whether the turn signal lever switch signal is ON (step S6). If NO, the control is ended, and if YES, a turn signal operation signal is output to the timer unit 2, the turn signal lamps 1a to 1d are turned on in a predetermined state (step S7), and the control is ended.

[0012] Therefore, after the vehicle is stopped and the hazard is activated, for example, in order to start toward the right lane, when the blinker lever switch is operated to give a signal to start to the right, the hazard switch 3 is released. Even if you forget, after the hazard is automatically released, the right blinker lamps 1b and 1d will light up.

The steps S1 to S7 are repeatedly executed periodically. If the hazard switch 3 is of a lock type that is held in that state when pushed in, a lock releasing means may be provided to release the lock by the hazard releasing operation of the timer unit 2.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, the hazard can be automatically released at the time of departure.
