Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for the safety of vehicles and pedestrians by blinking and illuminating at night at boundaries such as pedestrian roads and medians, dangerous curves, and places without gutter lids.

For this reason, there is a device in which a reflective material which is reflected by a headlight of an automobile is attached.

For the same purpose, there is a curb block which has a built-in illumination lamp for lighting with an AC power source or a dry battery as a power source (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-134524).

[0004]

However, since the above-mentioned conventional boundary block to which the reflective material is attached uses the headlight of the automobile as a light source, at night, when the automobile is not running in the vicinity, it can be seen from a distance. The driver cannot confirm the road condition and cannot achieve the safety purpose sufficiently.

Further, the curb block with a built-in illumination lamp not only has a problem of bulb burnout, but also requires troublesome electric wiring work when an AC power source is used, and a dry battery has a short life and needs frequent replacement. It was inconvenient to do.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a self-luminous road block and a self-luminous road blinking lighting device capable of blinking and displaying roads at night regardless of the presence or absence of a headlight of an automobile.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a self-luminous road block which does not need to worry about running out of a light bulb, can be easily installed without any troublesome electric wiring work, and does not require frequent battery replacement. It is intended to provide a self-luminous road flashing lighting device.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a self-luminous road blinking lighting device capable of blinking and lighting a road in a wide range with one solar cell.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a self-luminous road block and a self-luminous road flashing lighting device which can be manufactured in a simplified manner.

It is possible to check well and enhance the security effect.

The translucent resin cover can protect the light emitting diode, and in particular, the milky white translucent resin cover supplements the limited directional characteristics of the light emitting diode to provide illumination for illuminating the entire illumination window hole. In addition, this lighting can also bring out the beauty of the landscape.

A block main body having a groove on the upper surface side and an upper lid that fits in the groove are combined to form a solar battery on the upper lid, a storage battery is built in, and an illumination window hole is provided on the block main body. Since the light emitting diode is arranged inside the window hole, the solar cell, the storage battery, and the light emitting diode can be reasonably and easily assembled into the road block and can be easily manufactured.

According to the self-luminous road flashing lighting device of the present invention, the solar cell is arranged only in one of a plurality of road blocks adjacent to each other, and the solar cells are arranged in the other blocks. By installing only a storage battery and a light-emitting diode without providing a battery, it is possible to illuminate a wide range of road conditions such as a road width and a curve with a single solar cell, thereby reducing equipment costs.
