Description

Device to check obstacles of car

The present invention relates to a device for confirming the presence of obstacles in a vehicle, and more particularly, a device for checking the presence of obstacles in a vehicle that can minimize damage to a vehicle buffer by displaying the position of obstacles on the front and rear of the vehicle through a screen. It is about.

In general, the side mirror and the rear mirror of the vehicle serves to enable the driver to know the lane change when driving and the situation behind the vehicle when reversing or parking.

However, such side mirrors and back mirrors are limited in their clocks, and it is difficult to accurately grasp the situation on both sides and the rear side of a vehicle.

In addition, at present, the number of automobiles has increased, and the parking space is narrowed, which causes frequent accidents with the wall of the parking lot or an adjacent vehicle during parking, thereby reducing the impact of the bumper. A problem occurs in which predetermined damage occurs.

Thus, in order to minimize the impact of the vehicle due to frequent contact accidents, a bumper protection guard was installed. However, the bumper guard only serves to mitigate the impact applied to the bumper when it comes in contact with another vehicle, and damage to the bumper still occurs, causing a need for separate installation.

Therefore, as another conventional method, a technique has been proposed in which obstacle detection sensors are installed at each part of a vehicle, that is, at the left and right sides of the front and rear surfaces of the vehicle, so as to output a predetermined warning sound when the obstacle is detected.

However, in the prior art as described above, only an alarm sound is output when an obstacle is generated, and thus, a discretion of the driver is required, which causes a problem that it is difficult to pinpoint the location of the obstacle.

In addition, when obstacles occur in the range of 20 to 60 cm of the center portion of the vehicle that is commonly sensed by the front and rear left and right sensors, it is difficult to pinpoint which obstacles occur.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, by attaching the obstacle detection sensor to the front and rear left and right of the vehicle, and in the event of detecting the obstacle, to inform the driver through the display means, An object of the present invention is to provide an obstacle checking apparatus for a vehicle that enables a driver to accurately locate an obstacle.

In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, the present invention, by detecting the presence of obstacles in the front and rear of the vehicle, to determine the presence of the obstacle to the driver to determine the presence of the obstacle, the front and rear of the vehicle, Installed on each of the right side, obstacle detection sensors for detecting the presence of an obstacle within a predetermined distance, the control unit for receiving the detected data from the obstacle detection sensors, and determine the presence or absence of the obstacle and the position of the obstacle, When the obstacle is detected from the controller, it characterized in that it comprises a display means for displaying the position of the detected obstacle.

According to the present invention, there is provided a display means that can indicate the position of the obstacle inside the vehicle, allowing the driver to accurately identify the position of the obstacle, thereby minimizing damage to the bumper due to contact accidents.

EXAMPLE

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram schematically showing an apparatus for checking a vehicle's failure according to the present invention, 1 is obstacle detection sensors, 1-1 is a sensor for detecting an obstacle on the front left side of the vehicle (hereinafter referred to as , FL sensor), 1-2 is a sensor for detecting obstacles on the front right side of the car (hereinafter, FR sensor), 1-3 is a sensor for detecting obstacles on the rear left side of the car (hereinafter, RR sensor), 1- 4 represents a sensor (hereinafter, referred to as RL sensor) that detects an obstacle on the rear right side of the vehicle. Reference numeral 2 is a control unit for outputting a control signal according to the result of detecting the obstacle from the obstacle detection sensor (1-1,1-2,1-3,1-4), 3 is a control signal of the control unit 2 Is a speaker for outputting a warning sound, and 4 indicates display means for displaying a position where an obstacle is generated according to a control signal of the control unit 2.

The configuration of the obstacle confirmation device of the vehicle of the present invention is a vehicle obstacle confirmation device for detecting the presence of obstacles in the front and rear of the vehicle and informing the driver of the position of the obstacle, respectively, the left and right of the front and rear of the vehicle, respectively Obstacle detection sensors 1-1,1-2,1-3,1-4 and obstacle detection sensors 1-1,1-2, 1-3,1-4) receives the sensed data, and determines the presence or absence of the obstacle and the position of the obstacle, and the control unit 2, and outputs a warning sound according to the presence of the obstacle Speaker 3 and display means 4 for displaying the position of the obstacle.

Here, the speaker 3 is configured to output a warning sound when an obstacle occurs at any part regardless of a specific position.

In addition, the display means 4 is provided in the interior of the vehicle, preferably the instrument panel of the vehicle, and means for displaying the position of the obstacle. The display means 4 corresponds to the front and rear left and right sides of the vehicle, respectively. Flashing means 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4 are provided, for example, and the corresponding flashing means in the display means 4 is turned on according to the position of the obstacle. have.
