본 발명은 차량의 운행중 졸음운전 방지방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 차량의 주행중 운전자의 피로누적 등으로 졸음운전 발생시 이를 단계적으로 경고하고, 최후에 차량의 스로틀 레버를 록킹시켜 안전사고의 발생을 억제시킬 수 있도록 한 차량의 운행중 졸음운전 방지장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for preventing drowsiness driving during driving of a vehicle, in particular, when a drowsy driving occurs due to accumulated fatigue of a driver while driving a vehicle, and warning the step by step, and finally locking the throttle lever of the vehicle to suppress occurrence of a safety accident. The present invention relates to a device for preventing drowsiness during driving of a vehicle.

일반적으로 종래에는 차량의 운행중 운전자의 피로 등에 의하여 졸음운전이 발생되면, 운전자가 스스로 판단하여 차량의 운행을 일시중지하고, 쉬거나 창문을 오픈하여 졸음을 예방하였으나, 운전자의 피로정도에 따라 운전자 스스로 판단하여 졸음운전을 예방하므로, 운전자의 졸음운전 발생전에 이를 감지하여 차량의 운행을 중지하는 경우가 매우 힘들고, 보편적으로 계속적으로 차량을 운행하여 졸음운전으로 인한 커다란 사고를 일으키는 문제점이 있었다.In general, when drowsy driving occurs due to driver fatigue during driving of a vehicle, the driver determines to stop the driving of the vehicle, and rests or opens a window to prevent drowsiness. It is very difficult to stop the driving of the vehicle by detecting the driver's drowsy driving before occurrence of drowsy driving by judging, and there is a problem that causes a big accident due to drowsy driving by driving the vehicle continuously.

또한 상기의 문제점을 해소하기 위하여 운전석의 상단에 카메라를 설치하여 운전자의 눈을 디스플레이하여 운전자의 눈이 감기면 이를 경고하여 졸음운전을 예방하고 있으나, 이는 가격이 상당히 비싸 비경제적인 문제점이 있었다.In addition, in order to solve the above problems, the camera is installed on the top of the driver's seat to display the driver's eyes and warns when the driver's eyes are closed, thereby preventing drowsy driving.

따라서, 본 발명은 상기한 문제점을 해소하기 위하여 안출한 것으로, 그 목적은 첫째; 차량의 운행중 운전자의 졸음운전 발생시 이를 단계적으로 경고하고, 둘째; 차량의 설치비용이 저렴하여 경제적이며, 셋째; 졸음운전으로 인한 안전사고의 발생을 억제시킬 수 있도록 하는 차량의 운행중 졸음운전 방지방법를 제공하는 데 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object is first; When the driver's drowsy driving occurs while the vehicle is in operation, a warning step by step; Economical because the installation cost of the vehicle is low; The present invention provides a method for preventing drowsy driving while a vehicle is being used to suppress occurrence of a safety accident due to drowsy driving.

10 : 스티어링 휠 11 : 푸쉬버튼10: steering wheel 11: push button

위와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 발명은 스티어링 휠에 설치된 푸쉬버튼에 일정시간을 셋팅하여 셋팅시간마다 푸쉬버튼을 작동시켜 졸음유무를 판단하는 시간 셋팅단계와; 상기 시간 셋팅단계에서 셋팅시간 내에 푸쉬버튼 작동 유무를 판단하여 정상 운전유무를 판단하거나 경고 스위치를 작동시켜 경고방송 실시와 운전석 창문을 오픈시키는 졸음운전 방지단계와; 상기 졸음운전 방지단계에서 운전자의 계속적인 졸음운전시 강력한 경고음 발생과 동시에 스로틀 레버를 록킹시켜 차량을 정지시키는 졸음운전 경고 및 차량정지 단계로 구성함을 그 기술적 구성상에 기본 특징으로 한다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a time setting step of determining the presence of drowsiness by operating a push button every setting time by setting a predetermined time on the push button installed on the steering wheel; A drowsy driving prevention step of determining whether a push button is operated within a setting time in the time setting step to determine whether normal driving is performed or operating a warning switch to perform a warning broadcast and open a driver's window; In the technical configuration, the drowsy driving prevention step consists of a drowsy driving warning and a vehicle stopping step of stopping the vehicle by locking the throttle lever at the same time as generating a strong warning sound during continuous drowsy driving of the driver.

위와 같이, 구성된 본 발명의 실시예를 첨부된 도면을 참조하면서 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.As described above, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

도 1 과 도 2 에 나타낸 바와 같이, 시간 셋팅단계는 졸음방지 스위치를 온 시키고, 스티어링 휠(10)에 설치된 푸쉬버튼(11)에 일정시간을 셋팅한다.(S11-S12)As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the time setting step, the drowsiness prevention switch is turned on and a predetermined time is set in the push button 11 installed in the steering wheel 10. (S11-S12)

졸음운전 방지단계는 상기 시간 셋팅단계에 임의 시간내에 푸쉬버튼(11)이 작동하지 않으면, 졸음운전으로 간주하여 비상 스위치를 온 시켜 운전자에게 1차로 경고한 후 그래도 운전자가 푸쉬버튼(11)를 작동시키지 않으면 2차로 경고방송을 실시하고, 경고방송 실시후에도 운전자가 푸쉬버튼(11)을 작동시키지 않으면 운전석의 창문을 오픈시켜 운전자에게 3차로 경고하며 상기 1-3차의 경고단계에서 운전자가 푸쉬버튼(11)을 누르면 정상운전으로 간주하며, 다시 최초 셋팅된 시간간격으로 푸쉬버튼(11)의 작동유무를 살펴 상기와 같이 경고한다.(S13-S16, S18)If the push button 11 does not operate within a certain time in the time setting step, the drowsy driving prevention step is regarded as drowsy driving and turns on the emergency switch to warn the driver first, and then the driver operates the push button 11. If not, the warning broadcast is performed secondly, and if the driver does not operate the push button 11 after the warning broadcast is opened, the driver's window is opened to warn the driver three times. Pressing (11) is regarded as normal operation and warns as above by checking the operation of the push button 11 at the first set time interval again. (S13-S16, S18)

졸음운전 경고와 차량 정지단계는 상기 졸음운전 방지단계에서 1차-3차에 걸쳐 경고하여도 운전자가 푸쉬버튼(11)을 누르지 않으면, 강력한 경고음 발생과 동시에 스로틀 레버를 록킹시켜 차량을 정지시킨다.(S17-S18)The drowsy driving warning and the vehicle stopping step stops the vehicle by locking the throttle lever at the same time as the powerful warning sound is generated when the driver does not press the push button 11 even when the drowsy driving prevention step warns the first to third cars. (S17-S18)

이러한 본 발명의 작용 및 효과를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operation and effects of the present invention as follows.

졸음방지 스위치를 온 시킨 다음 운전자가 편의에 따라 푸쉬버튼(11)의 작동시간을 입력하여 스티어링 휠(10)에 설치된 푸쉬버튼(11)을 셋팅된 푸쉬버튼(11) 작동시간에 따라 주행중 계속적으로 푸쉬버튼(11)을 누르게 하여 졸음운전을 방지한다.After turning on the drowsiness prevention switch, the driver inputs the operating time of the push button 11 for convenience, and continuously drives the push button 11 installed on the steering wheel 10 according to the set push button 11 operating time. Push button 11 is pressed to prevent drowsy operation.

이때 운전자가 셋팅된 시간내에 푸쉬버튼(11)을 작동시키지 아니하면 이를 졸음운전으로 간주하여 비상 스위치 작동과 경고방송 및 운전석의 창문을 열어 운전자가 졸음운전 중임을 인지하여 올바른 주행상태를 유지하게 하여 안전사고 발생을 억제시키게 하고, 1차-3차에 걸친 경고에도 운전자의 졸음운전이 계속되면 강력한 경고음을 작동시키고 스로틀 레버를 록킹시켜 차량의 운행을 정지시켜 안전사고의 발생을 억제시키며 푸쉬버튼(11) 작동시 시스템을 초기화시켜 계속적인 푸쉬버튼(11) 작동유무를 감지하게 한다.At this time, if the driver does not operate the push button 11 within the set time, it is regarded as drowsy driving, and the emergency switch operation and warning broadcast and the driver's window are opened to recognize that the driver is drowsy driving to maintain the correct driving state. When the driver's drowsy driving continues even in the 1st to 3rd warnings, a strong warning sound is activated, and the throttle lever is locked to stop the vehicle's operation and suppress the occurrence of the safety accident. 11) Initializes the system during operation to detect the continuous push button (11) operation.

이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이, 본 발명은 차량의 운행중 운전자의 졸음운전 발생시 이를 단계적으로 경고하고, 차량의 설치비용이 저렴하여 경제적이며, 졸음운전으로 인한 안전사고의 발생을 억제시킬 수 있는 것이다.As described above, the present invention can warn the driver step by step when a drowsy driving occurs during the operation of the vehicle, the installation cost of the vehicle is economical, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of safety accidents due to drowsy driving.
