상기 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 발명은, 차량의 조향핸들에 장착되며, 운전자의 누르는 수동압력에 의해 외부로부터 전원을 공급하도록 온-오프(on-off)되는 혼스위치와, 상기 혼스위치의 동작으로 외부 물체에 경보신호를 발생하는 경음기를 포함하는 혼(horn)스위치 작동장치에 있어서, 상기 혼스위치의 하단부에 장착되며 그의 눌림압력을 감지하여 소정크기의 고전압을 발생시키는 압전감지수단; 상기 압전감지수단에 연결되되 그로부터 출력되는 신호를 인가받아 전압을 소정크기만큼 하강시키고 전류는 소정크기만큼 상승시키는 변압수단; 및 상기 변압수단에서 출력되는 신호를 혼(horn) 구동에 필요한 전원으로 유지하기 위하여 전류를 증폭시켜 상기 경음기에 신호를 인가하는 증폭수단을 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, the horn switch is mounted on the steering wheel of the vehicle, the on-off (on-off) to supply power from the outside by the driver's pressing manual pressure, and the operation of the horn switch A horn switch operating device including a horn for generating an alarm signal to an external object, comprising: piezoelectric sensing means mounted on a lower end of the horn switch and sensing a pressing pressure thereof to generate a high voltage of a predetermined size; A transformer unit connected to the piezoelectric sensing unit and receiving a signal output therefrom to lower the voltage by a predetermined size and increase the current by a predetermined size; And amplifying means for amplifying a current and applying a signal to the horn to maintain the signal output from the transformer means as a power required for horn driving.
이하, 첨부된 제1도의 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 실시예를 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of FIG. 1.
제1도는 본 발명에 의한 차량의 혼스위치 작동장치의 일실시예 구성을 나타낸 회로도로서, 도면에서 1은 혼스위치, 2는 압전센서, 3은 다운 트랜스, 4는 증폭기, 5는 경음기를 각각 나타낸 것이다.1 is a circuit diagram showing an embodiment configuration of a horn switch operating device of a vehicle according to the present invention, 1 is a horn switch, 2 is a piezoelectric sensor, 3 is a down transformer, 4 is an amplifier, 5 is a horn. will be.
본 발명에 의한 혼스위치 작동장치는 운전자가 가볍게 누르는 조작으로도 혼스위치가 작동되도록 구현한 것으로, 본 실시예에서는 차량의 조향핸들을 이루는 스포오크(도면에 표시하지 않음)의 중앙에 감싸여지며, 운전자의 누르는 수동압력에 의해 외부로부터 전원을 공급하도록 온-오프(on-off)되는 혼스위치(1)와, 상기 혼스위치(1)에 내장되며, 그의 눌림(온(on)동작)압력을 감지하여 소정크기의 고전압을 발생시키는 압전센서(2)와, 상기 압전센서(2)에 연결되되, 그로부터 출력되는 신호를 인가받아 전압을 소정크기만큼 하강시키고 전류는 소정크기만큼 상승시키도록 전압을 변환하는 다운 트랜스(3)와, 상기 다운 트랜스(3)에서 출력되는 신호를 경음 구동에 필요한 전원으로 유지하기 위하여 전류를 증폭시켜 출력하는 증폭기(4)와, 상기 증폭기(4)에서 출력되는 전기신호를 인가받아 외부 물체에 경보음을 발생하는 경음기(5)를 구비한다.The horn switch operating device according to the present invention is implemented so that the horn switch is operated even by the driver's lightly pressing operation. In this embodiment, the horn switch operating device is wrapped in the center of the spoke (not shown) forming the steering wheel of the vehicle. And a horn switch 1 that is on-off to supply power from the outside by the driver's pressing manual pressure, and built in the horn switch 1, and its pressing (on) pressure It is connected to the piezoelectric sensor (2) and the piezoelectric sensor (2) for generating a high voltage of a predetermined size by receiving a signal output from it to lower the voltage by a predetermined size voltage to increase the current by a predetermined size In order to maintain the signal output from the down transformer (3) to the power required for the hard drive, the amplifier (4) for amplifying and outputting the current, and in the amplifier (4) It is provided with a horn 5 for receiving an electrical signal output to generate an alarm sound to an external object.
상기와 같이 구성되는 본 발명의 동작상태를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operating state of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.
차량의 운행시, 전방물체가 출현함에 따라 운전자가 혼스위치(1)를 소정압력을 가볍게 누르면 상기 혼스위치(1)에 내장된 압전센서(2)가 감지하여 신호를 출력한다. 상기 압전센서(2)에서 출력되는 신호는 소정 크기 만큼의 고전압을 가지는 반면에 전류는 소정크기만큼 작게 형성되어 있으므로 경음기(5)를 구동하기에는 적합하지 않으므로 상기 압전센서(2)에 연결된 다운 트랜스(3)를 거쳐 100V전압에서 12V의 전압을 하강시키고, 전류는 상대적으로 상승시킨다.When the vehicle is driven, the driver pushes the horn switch 1 lightly with a predetermined pressure as the front object appears, and the piezoelectric sensor 2 embedded in the horn switch 1 detects and outputs a signal. Since the signal output from the piezoelectric sensor 2 has a high voltage as much as a predetermined size, the current is formed as small as a predetermined size, so it is not suitable for driving the horn 5, so that the down transformer connected to the piezoelectric sensor 2 After 3), drop the voltage of 12V at 100V and increase the current relatively.
그리고, 상기 다운 트랜스(3)에서 출력되는 전압을 증폭기(4)의 +단자에 연결하여 12V의 전압을 일정하게 유지시키고, 전류는 증폭하여 경음기(5)에 인가하므로서 경음을 발생시키는 것이다.Then, the voltage output from the down transformer 3 is connected to the + terminal of the amplifier 4 to maintain a constant voltage of 12V, and the amplification is applied to the horn 5 to generate a beep.
상기와 같이 구성되어 작동하는 본 발명에 따르면, 운전자가 혼스위치의 가벼운 누름동작만으로 경음기를 동작시키므로서 혼스위치의 조작을 쉽게 하며, 보다 빠르고 신속하게 경보음을 발생할 수 있는 효과를 가진다.According to the present invention configured and operated as described above, the driver operates the horn only by a light pressing operation of the horn switch, thereby making it easier to operate the horn switch, and has an effect of generating an alarm sound more quickly and quickly.
