Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a pushing operation device.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional passing operation device has a configuration in which a passing switch 3 is connected to a light lighting circuit using a lighting switch 1 and a dimmer switch 2.

The above writing switch 1 shorts between the X terminal and the PASS terminal when it is turned off, and when it is turned on, it shorts the X terminal and the PASS terminal.
It serves to short-circuit between the HL terminal, ML terminal, and B terminal, and between the PASS terminal and Y terminal, and is connected as follows. That is, the HL terminal is selectively connected to the high beam filament 5 or the low beam filament 6 of the light 4 via the dimmer switch 2, and the ML terminal is connected to a meter lamp and a tail lamp (not shown). Also, both the B terminal and the X terminal are connected to the battery 7, and the PASS terminal is connected to the high beam filament 5 through the passing switch 3.
The Y terminal is connected to the low beam filament 6.

In the device configured as described above, when the passing switch 3 is operated intermittently to close the circuit while the lighting switch 1 is in the OFF state (during daytime driving), the passing switch 3 is connected to the PASS terminal and the A current intermittently flows through the high beam filament 5, causing the filament 5 to blink.

Next, the operation when the lighting switch 1 is in the ON state (during night driving) is as follows. That is, when the daymer switch 2 is turned on to the low beam side terminal 2b as shown in the figure, that is, when the passing switch 3 is intermittently closed during low beam driving, the switch 3, the PASS terminal, and the Y terminal are closed. The filament 5 for high beam is intermittently connected in parallel to the filament 6 for low beam via the filament 6 for low beam, and as a result, the filament 5 is added to the filament 6 which is in the lighting state to blink.

On the other hand, when the daymer switch 2 is turned on to the high beam side terminal 2a, that is, when the passing switch 3 is intermittently closed when the high beam is running, the high beam filament 5
Since the low beam filament 6 is intermittently connected in parallel, the filament 6 additionally blinks.

In the conventional device shown in FIG. 1, when the passing operation is performed during daytime driving and low beam driving at night, the high beam filament 5 suddenly blinks. For this reason, in the past, the driver's eyes were dazzled when receiving the signal, and in some cases, the driver could drive incorrectly.

It is also possible to perform a passing display by repeating the switching operation of the daymer switch 2, but if this operation is performed while driving with a low beam, the high beam filament will suddenly turn on. Therefore, the above-mentioned inconvenience still occurs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the drawbacks of the conventional devices, it is an object of the present invention to provide a passing operation device that can send a passing signal without dazzling the other driver's eyes.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. Note that among the symbols used in the following description, the same symbols as in FIG. 1 refer to the same elements.

The passing operation device according to the present invention has a dimmer switch 2, as shown in FIG.
A relay 8 is interposed between the light 4 and the high beam filament 5 and the low beam filament 6 of the light 4 are connected to the high beam side terminal 2a of the daymer switch via the normally closed contacts 8a and 8b of the relay 8, respectively. and is connected to the low beam side terminal 2b. Further, the connection between the B terminal and the X terminal of the lighting switch 1 is cut off, the passing switch 3 is interposed between the PASS terminal and the battery 7, and the X terminal and the low beam filament 6 are connected, and the Y terminal and It is connected to the coil of the relay 8 mentioned above.

The passing operation device according to the present invention having such a configuration operates as follows. That is, when the passing switch 3 is intermittently closed when the lighting switch 1 is turned OFF (during daytime driving), the low beam filament 6 is intermittently energized via the PASS terminal and the X terminal.
This causes the filament 6 to blink.

On the other hand, when the passing switch 3 is intermittently closed when the lighting switch 1 is ON (during night driving), the coil of the relay 8 is intermittently excited via the Y terminal of the lighting switch 1. Therefore, for example, if the daymer switch 2 is connected to the low beam side terminal 2b, the contact 8b of the relay 8
The low beam filament 6 blinks via the low beam filament 6, and when the daimer switch 2 is connected to the high beam side terminal 2a, the high beam filament 5 blinks.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention in which a transfer contact 8b' of the relay 8 is used in place of the contact 8b of the relay 8, and the normally open terminal of the contact is connected to the high beam side terminal 2a of the dimmer switch 2. An example is shown.

In the device according to this embodiment, when the relay 8 is intermittently activated, the low beam filament 6 and the high beam side terminal 2a of the dimmer switch 2 are intermittently connected via the contact 8b'. When the high beam filament 5 and the low beam filament 6 are inserted into the side, the high beam filament 5 and the low beam filament 6 alternately blink. In this case, since the high beam always changes to the low beam at the start of the passing operation, the driver will not be dazzled by the sudden emission of the high beam.

As described above, when the passing operation device according to the present invention is performed in the daytime or when driving with low beam, the high beam filament does not operate at all and only the low beam filament flashes, which dazzles the eyes of the other driver. You can send the passing signal without any trouble.
Therefore, it is extremely beneficial in terms of traffic safety. Moreover, it has the advantage that it can be easily configured using a lighting switch having the same connection mode as the conventional one.
