Description

자동차 미러의 작동 시스템Working system of car mirror

본 발명은 자동차 미러의 작동 시스템에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 발신 센서와 수신 센서를 이용하여 아웃사이드 미러를 상· 하· 전· 후로 자동 조절함으로서 운전자가 볼 수 없는 사각 지대까지 시야가 확대되는 자동차 미러의 작동 시스템에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an operating system of an automobile mirror, and more particularly, by using an outgoing sensor and a receiving sensor, the outside mirror is automatically adjusted up, down, front and back so that the field of view is extended to a blind spot that is invisible to the driver. It relates to an operating system of a car mirror.

일반적으로 아웃사이드 미러를 조절하기 위한 리모트 컨트롤이 장착된 자동차는, 리모트 컨트롤을 이용하여 아웃사이드 미러를 상· 하· 전· 후로 조절함으로써 손으로 조절하는 것보다 많은 편리함을 준다.In general, a vehicle equipped with a remote control for adjusting the outside mirror provides more convenience than using the remote control to adjust the outside mirror up, down, front and back by hand.

그러나, 자동차를 운전하다 보면 아웃사이드 미러와 백미러만 가지고는 볼 수 없는 사각 지대가 발생하고 이는 리모트 컨트롤을 이용하더라도 적당한 각도를 찾기가 어려워 아웃사이드 미러를 원하는 방향으로 이동하기가 어렵다.However, when driving a car, a blind spot that cannot be seen using only the outside mirrors and rearview mirrors is difficult to find, and even with the remote control, it is difficult to find the proper angle, so it is difficult to move the outside mirror in the desired direction.

따라서, 차선 변경시 차량 시야 미확보등의 원인으로 사고의 위험이 내재되어 있는 실정이다.Therefore, there is a risk of an accident inherent in changing lanes due to lack of visibility of the vehicle.

따라서, 본 발명은 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 개발한 자동차 미러의 작동 시스템에 관한 것으로서, 운전자가 착용할 안경에 발신 센서를 부착하고 아웃사이드 미러에 수신 센서를 부착하여, 수신되는 신호를 이용하여 운전자의 시선에 따라 아웃사이드 미러가 상· 하· 전· 후로 자동 조절됨으로서, 차선 변경시 사각 지대를 없앨 수 있어 사고의 위험을 줄이고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention relates to an operation system of a car mirror developed to solve such a problem, by attaching a transmitting sensor to the glasses to be worn by the driver and a receiving sensor to the outside mirror, using the received signal As the outside mirror is automatically adjusted up, down, front and back according to the driver's eyes, the purpose is to reduce the risk of accidents by eliminating blind spots when changing lanes.

본 발명은 운전자가 착용하는 안경(10)에 발신 센서(20a)를 부착하는 동시에, 아웃사이드 미러(50)에 수신 센서(20b)를 부착하여 발신 센서(20a)로부터 신호를 받은 수신 센서(20b)가 전자 제어 유니트(30)에 신호를 주고, 상기 전자 제어 유니트(30)가 신호에 의해 선택된 미러 리모콘(40)의 제어 방향을 결정하도록 구성되어, 상기 미러 리모콘(40)을 이용하여 아웃사이드 미러(50)의 방향을 제어함으로써, 운전자의 시선에 따라 아웃사이드 미러(50)의 각도가 자동 조절되도록 하는 것을 특징으로 한다.The present invention attaches the outgoing sensor 20a to the glasses 10 worn by the driver, and also attaches the outgoing sensor 20b to the outside mirror 50 to receive a signal from the outgoing sensor 20a. ) Signals to the electronic control unit 30, and the electronic control unit 30 is configured to determine the control direction of the mirror remote control 40 selected by the signal, and outside using the mirror remote control 40 By controlling the direction of the mirror 50, the angle of the outside mirror 50 is automatically adjusted according to the driver's eyes.

이를 첨부 도면을 참조로 하여 본 발명의 구성과 작용에 관하여 더욱 상세하게 설명하면 다음과 같다.This will be described in more detail with respect to the configuration and operation of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

본 발명은 자동차를 운전할 운전자가 착용하는 안경(10)에 발신 센서(20a)를 부착하는 동시에, 아웃사이드 미러(50)에 수신 센서(20b)를 부착하여 이들 두 감지 센서(20a), (20b)의 감지 신호로 자동 조절되는 시스템이다.The present invention attaches the outgoing sensor 20a to the glasses 10 worn by the driver who will drive the vehicle, and at the same time attaches the receiving sensor 20b to the outside mirror 50 so as to detect these two sensors 20a, 20b. It is a system that is automatically adjusted by the detection signal of

본 발명에 따르면, 발신 센서(20a)가 부착된 상기 안경(10)을 착용한 운전자가 자동차를 운전하는 도중에 차선을 변경하기 위하여 아웃사이드 미러(50)를 응시하고 나서, 사각 지대를 보기 위해 시선을 바꾸면 발신 센서(20a)로부터 신호가 수신 센서(20b)에 전달된다.According to the present invention, a driver wearing the glasses 10 with the transmission sensor 20a stares at the outside mirror 50 to change lanes while driving a car, and then looks at the blind spot. When the signal is changed, the signal is transmitted from the outgoing sensor 20a to the receiving sensor 20b.

상기 신호가 전자 제어 유니트(30)에 전달되고, 전자 제어 유니트(30)에서는 이를 연산하여 아웃사이드 미러(50)의 방향을 상· 하· 전· 후로 선택한 다음, 선택된 방향으로 미러 리모콘(40)을 구동시켜 준다.The signal is transmitted to the electronic control unit 30, and the electronic control unit 30 calculates the direction of the outside mirror 50 up, down, before, and after by calculating the mirror remote control 40 in the selected direction. To drive.

따라서, 미러 리모콘(40)의 구동을 받은 아웃사이드 미러(50)는 선택된 방향 데로 이동하므로, 사각 지대에 속하여 시야에 들어오지 않았던 곳까지 볼 수 있어 차량의 시야가 넓어져서 주행 안전성을 향상시킬 수 있게 된다.Accordingly, since the outside mirror 50 driven by the mirror remote controller 40 moves in the selected direction, the outside mirror 50 can be seen in a blind spot that is not in the field of view, thereby widening the field of view of the vehicle and improving driving safety. do.

상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 자동차 미러의 작동 시스템은, 운전자의 시선에 따라 미러를 자동으로 조절할 수 있으므로 사각 지대까지 시야가 확대되어 차선 변경 시에도 안전 운행이 가능하고 또한, 운전자에게 편리함을 주는 효과가 있다.As described above, the vehicle mirror operating system according to the present invention can automatically adjust the mirror according to the driver's gaze, so that the field of view is extended to the blind spot, so that safe driving is possible even when changing lanes, and it is convenient for the driver. Giving effect.
