Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an indicator lamp for a vehicle using a light emitting diode.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, indicator lights such as side lights, braking lights, turn signals, etc. for vehicles have been lit mainly by supplying current to various indicator light bulbs by using onboard storage battery of 6 to 24 volt as a power source. . In addition, wheelchairs, bicycles, rear cars, etc. are not equipped with these vehicle indicator lights from the viewpoint of structure and maintenance, and their presence is reflected by reflecting light from others with reflective tape, reflectors, etc. It was just to inform.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As a power source for vehicle lights, large and heavy on-board storage batteries were used, and various types of light bulbs with high current consumption were used.Therefore, there was a risk of light bulb disconnection, and maintenance was troublesome.In addition, wheelchairs, bicycles, rear cars, etc. It was difficult to equip due to the structure. This proposal was made to eliminate these drawbacks.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Recently, light emitting diodes that operate at extremely low voltage and current have been produced, and especially red light emitting diodes have already been developed with high brightness and ultra high brightness. If these are used for vehicle indicators, etc., they will have a long life and a power source of low voltage and low power capacity can be used.

[Action]

 When the power switch (3a) is turned on from the power supply (2), the current of the + pole is supplied to the + pole of the light emitting diode (1) through the wiring (6), and when the day / night switch (3f) is turned on, the − pole is turned on. The current is directly supplied to the negative electrodes of the light emitting diodes (1b) and (1b ') by the direction indicating switches (3b) and (3b') to light as a side light, but the day and night switch (3f) is opened. Then, the negative current of the light-emitting diodes (1b) and (1b ') is cut off to turn off the light. In either case, the corresponding direction indicating switch (3b) or (3b') is used when the direction of the right turn or the left turn is indicated. When is operated, the brake interlock switch that supplies the blinking current that has passed through the blinking circuit (4) to any one of the negative poles of the light emitting diodes (1b) and (1b ') to blink as a direction indicator light. Work of (3c) Lights emitting diode (1c) as a brake light, the light emitting diodes (1a) is for monitoring directly connected to the flasher circuit (4). In addition to the electronic circuit, the blinking circuit (4) can use a blinking light emitting diode depending on the power supply voltage in consideration of the polarity and connection method. Depending on the blinking circuit (4), either the + pole or the − pole of the power supply (2) can be connected to the metal chassis to simplify the wiring (6) by one line. With the simultaneous blinking switch (3d), the light emitting diode ( 1b) and (1b ') can be flashed all at once. When a rechargeable battery is used as the power source of the present invention, the output of the solar cell and the AC output of the bicycle generator can be rectified or charged from the household power source with a dedicated charger and used from the charging terminal (5a) to consume power. Since the battery is extremely small, it can be used with a dry battery for a long time. In the case of over discharge of the rechargeable battery of the built-in power supply or exhaustion of the dry battery, connect an appropriate external power supply to the external input / output terminal (5b) regardless of the built-in power supply. It can be operated by operating the input / output switch (3e), and similarly, by operating the external input / output switch (3e), power can be supplied from the built-in power source to the outside. In addition, a high-intensity incandescent lamp headlight (7) can be used. For wheelchairs, bicycles, rear carts, etc., the functions of the direction indicator and the brake light are simplified and the light emitting diodes (1b), (1b ') and the power source (2) power switch (3a) blinking circuit (4) and charging terminal (5a). With the wiring (6), it can be used in the front-rear direction as a width indicator and blinking indicator light.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described. In the embodiment, the operation part cannot be mounted near the driver's seat such as an automobile, and in the conventional method, the main part such as the power source is small in size because it is mounted on the bicycle which is difficult to install in terms of structure and maintenance. It is a new vehicle indicator light that is housed in a container and easily connected to the wiring and attached to and detached from the vehicle body, as well as measures such as maintenance and rainy weather.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 If it complies with the safety standards of the Ministry of Transport, electric vehicles, solar cars, etc. currently under development at various places with the aim of putting it into practical use can be charged by installing a small-capacity storage battery for new vehicle indicators and lighting. For example, it is effective without consuming any valuable power source. In addition, if the specifications of the existing vehicle are partially changed and the new vehicle indicator light is used, the power consumption can be saved without the need to replace the core of the indicator light bulb. Since it can be made compact and lightweight including the power supply, it can be easily installed especially on wheelchairs, bicycles, rear carts, etc., which are vulnerable to traffic, so its effect on traffic safety is great.
