Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a road sign with a warning light.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a warning light that rotates or blinks on an existing road sign board to draw the attention of a vehicle driver during night driving on a road under construction, a dangerous zone of the road, a sharp curve point, etc. Were simply arranged side by side. In addition, a light emitting sign plate in which a flashing light emitting diode or the like is directly incorporated in the road sign plate itself has also been proposed.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, if the former signboard is provided with rotating or blinking warning lights, the warning lights are too conspicuous and the driver's attention is concentrated on the warning lights. However, there was a problem that attention to the sign board was easily neglected. Further, in the case of the latter luminescent sign board, it is necessary to remove the existing sign board or change the structure of the sign board, which causes inconvenience such as conflicting with signage and is uneconomical. .

An object of the present invention is to provide a road sign with a warning light that solves the conventional problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the road sign with a warning light of the present invention has a sign board provided on a proper height of a support post on a periphery of the sign board. The support frame surrounding the is provided on the pillar, while the light emitting body is provided in the opposite grooves of the transparent resin hollow pipe with mounting plates protruding on both sides along the longitudinal direction,
Both edges in the longitudinal direction of a substrate in which a plurality of light emitting diodes are arranged and wired are inserted, the light emitting body is attached along a support frame through a mounting plate, and a power source and a controller are connected to the light emitting body. Then, the light emitter is turned on or blinks.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the drawing, (1) is a pillar, and (2) is a sign plate having a predetermined marking on the surface, both of which are existing ones. The sign plate (2) is a groove-shaped mounting board provided on the back surface as shown in FIG.
(3) is attached to the column (1) by the tightening band (4). Note that (5) is the tightening bolt for the tightening band (4).
It is a nut.

Reference numeral (6) is a support frame, which is attached to the column (1) so as to surround the marker plate (2) on the outer periphery of the marker plate (2). The support frame (6) has a shape matching the shape of the marker plate (2) as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 8 or FIG. Further, the support frame (6) may be a frame having an integral structure in advance, but generally, a support pipe (7) to which a light emitting body (9) described later is attached is sequentially connected via a joint (8). ing. Support pipe (7) is a luminous body
Any shape may be used as long as the (9) can be attached, and the joint (8) may have an appropriate structure such as a plug-in pipe. Support frame
On the back side of (6), as shown in FIG. 3, a groove-shaped mounting board (3) 'is provided horizontally as in the case of the marker plate (2).
(5) 'and the tightening band (4)' are attached to the column (1).

The luminous body (9) is attached along the support frame (6), more specifically, the support pipe (7). As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the light-emitting body (9) is formed by the transparent resin hollow pipe (10) having the opposite grooves (2
Both ends of the long walk of the substrate (12) in which a plurality of light emitting diodes (11), (11) ... Are arranged and wired are inserted into 0) and (20), and the end of the hollow pipe (10) is inserted. A wiring lead wire (13) is projected from the portion. The hollow pipe (10) is provided with mounting plates (14) and (14) projecting from both sides along the length direction. The mounting plates (14) and (14) are, for example, the support pipe (7). ) Is fitted into the fitting groove formed on the support pipe (7), or is directly adhered or tacked to the support pipe (7), is attached through a fixture, etc. It is installed. Further, the lead wire (13) at the end of the light emitting body (9) is connected to the lead wire (13) of the adjacent light emitting body (9) through the joint (8) of the supporting frame body (6), Power supply (15) and controller described later
It is connected to (19). Since the light emitter (9) functions as a warning light, the hollow pipe (10) is colored in a noticeable color such as yellow or red, or the light emitting diodes (11), (11) ...
It is only necessary to adopt a conspicuous color.

The power supply (15) is a power supply source for the light emitting body (9), and generally comprises a solar cell (16) and a secondary battery (17). The solar cell (16) is supported by a mount (18) provided on the upper part of the support frame (6) as shown in FIG. 1, and the secondary battery (17) is housed in the mount (18). Further, the solar cell (16) may be attached to the upper end of the column (1) via the mount (18). The power supply (15)
A commercial power supply may be used.

The controller (19) is connected to the light emitting body (9) and the power supply (15), and supplies power to the light emitting body (9) at night to control the light emitting body (9) to light or blink. Controller (1
9) is housed in the pedestal (18) and the support pipe (7) of the support frame (6). For example, when the solar battery (16) and the secondary battery (17) are used as the power source (15) as shown in FIG. 7, the power generated by the solar battery (16) is secondary through the controller (19) during the daytime. The battery (17) is charged, and the power of the secondary battery (17) is supplied to the light emitting body (9) by the controller (19) at night. In this case, the controller (19) has a circuit for detecting an increase / decrease in the current generated by the solar cell (16) and a sensor for detecting the ambient illuminance, and has a day / night discrimination function, and the light emitting body (9) is turned on for a predetermined time. It has a circuit for turning on or off, a circuit for extinguishing light, a circuit for preventing overcharge, a circuit for preventing overdischarge, a circuit for preventing backflow, etc., which is used for a line-of-sight induction light emitting sign having a conventional solar cell or secondary battery. Similar ones may be used.

(Effect of the Invention) As described in detail above, in the road sign with a warning light of the present invention, a support frame surrounding the sign plate is attached to a support on the outer periphery of the sign plate, and a luminous body is provided along the support frame. Since the light emitter is attached so that it lights up or blinks, the attention of the vehicle driver can be attracted to both the light emitter and the signboard, which is useful for traffic safety. Moreover, it is not necessary to change the structure of the sign plate itself, and the existing sign plate can be used as it is and easily assembled.

Also, in the present invention, since the mounting plates are provided on both sides along the longitudinal direction of the transparent resin hollow pipe of the light emitter, the mounting plates may be fitted into the fitting grooves formed in the support pipe. Alternatively, the light-emitting body can be easily attached to the front surface of the support pipe, that is, the support frame body by using an appropriate means such as directly adhering or tacking to the support pipe, or through an attachment tool.

Further, in the light emitter, a plurality of light emitting diodes are arranged in opposite grooves of a transparent resin hollow pipe, and both edges of the wiring board in the longitudinal direction are inserted, so that the light emitting diodes are predetermined in the hollow pipe. It can be arranged at predetermined positions at intervals, and the light-emitting body can be easily assembled only by inserting the substrate into the groove in the hollow pipe, and when the light-emitting diode or the like fails, the substrate can be replaced and repaired easily.
