Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention particularly relates to an awakening lighting device for an automobile, which can effectively prevent a drowsy driving during night driving.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, when driving a car and driving on a monotonous road without traffic lights or intersections at night, the tension may relax and you may fall asleep unknowingly, which causes a major car accident. ing.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Despite many problems of this type, there have been few products that have been put into practical use as wake-up devices for automobiles in the past, and it is eager to commercialize them.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an awakening lighting device for an automobile that can effectively prevent a drowsy driving during night driving by utilizing lighting.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is provided with a wake-up illuminating section that gives a proper sense of tension to a visor, an automatic change indicator, a meter panel, etc. located in the driver's field of vision in the vehicle interior. It is characterized by that.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, an awakening illumination unit is provided which gives an appropriate feeling of tension to an object, for example, a sun visor, located within the driver's field of view in the vehicle compartment. This awakening lighting utilizes red color changes in the human mental state, and it is good to have red lighting that makes you feel “unstable” or “excited” and raises your heart rate. In the above-mentioned sun visor, a large number of red LEDs (light emitting diodes) are used. ) Is preferably blinked so that it flows from one to the other.

In addition, in automatic change indicators and meter panels, normal lighting (for example, blue lighting that causes heart rate to decrease due to feeling “stable”, “safe”, “open”) is appropriate. It is preferable to switch to the red illumination at each time interval. As a result, the driver is given a proper sense of tension, and it is possible to prevent drowsy driving.

[0008]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 shows a sun visor 1 in which a visor body 3 is supported by a stage 2 attached to a roof in a vehicle compartment so as to be vertically swingable.

A mirror 5 which can be freely opened and closed by a lid 4 is attached to the back flat surface portion 3 a (the surface facing the roof when swinging upward) of the visor body 3. When the mounting space of the mirror 5 is used, a large number of red LEDs (light emitting diodes) 6 are arranged in parallel along the lower end portion of the mirror 5 at regular intervals.

A blinking circuit 8 is connected to each of the LEDs 6 via a switch 7, and the driver turns on the switch 7 during nighttime driving so that the LEDs 6 are switched from one side (for example, the right side) to the other side (for example, the left side). ) Flashes to flow. The blinking of the red light gives the driver an appropriate sense of tension, which makes it possible to prevent drowsy driving.

FIG. 2 shows an automatic change indicator 10. The indicator 10 is attached to the side of the change lever 11 of the center console in the vehicle compartment and indicates the letters P to L indicating the shift position or the surroundings of the letters. Are illuminated by the lamp 12.

Between the indicator 10 and the lamp 12, a blue filter 13a and a red filter 13b are arranged by being attached to a frame 14, and the rack portion 14a of the frame 14 is engaged with a pinion 15a of a motor 15. I am letting you.

Then, a forward / reverse rotation circuit 16 is connected to the motor 15 via a switch 7 so that the driver turns on the switch 7 during night driving, so that the motor 15 can be operated at an appropriate time interval (for example, 15 to 15). Every 30 seconds), the blue filter 13a and the red filter 13b are alternately exposed between the indicator 10 and the lamp 12 by reversing the normal direction.

By switching the blue illumination and the red illumination of the indicator 10, the driver is given a proper sense of tension, and it becomes possible to prevent the driver from falling asleep.

FIG. 3 shows a meter panel 20. The meter panel 20 is attached to an instrument panel in a vehicle compartment, and numerical values indicating an hourly speed and a rotation speed are illuminated by a lamp 12.

Between the meter panel 20 and the lamp 12, a blue filter 13a and a red filter 13b, which face each numerical value, are mounted and arranged on a frame 14, and a rack portion 14a of the frame 14 is provided with a motor. The 15 pinions 15a are engaged.

The forward / reverse rotation circuit 16 is connected to the motor 15 via the switch 7 so that the driver turns on the switch 7 during nighttime driving, so that the motor 15 can be operated at an appropriate time interval (for example, 15 to 15). Every 30 seconds), the blue filter 13a and the red filter 13b are alternately placed between the numerical values on the meter panel 20 and the lamp 12 by reversing the direction.

By switching between the blue illumination and the red illumination of the meter panel 20, the driver is given a proper sense of tension, and it becomes possible to prevent the driver from falling asleep.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above description, the awakening lighting device for a vehicle of the present invention is an awakening lighting device that gives a proper tension to a sun visor, an automatic change indicator, a meter panel, etc. located within the visual field of a driver in a vehicle. The part is provided. Therefore, the driver is given a proper sense of tension, and it becomes possible to prevent the driver from falling asleep.
