Handsfree set for car {Handsfree Set for Automobile}

The present invention relates to a vehicle hands-free set, and more particularly, to a vehicle hands-free set that can accommodate a portable communication device that enables wireless communication while a driver is driving in a dashboard of an automobile.

1 is a perspective view of a conventional vehicle hands-free set. Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional vehicle hands-free set includes a hands-free set main body 61, an earphone jack 62 entering and exiting the main body 61, a charging terminal 63, and a microphone 64. The hands-free set is used in a vehicle to make a phone call using a mobile phone terminal when driving the vehicle. That is, the user should hang the main body 61 of the hands-free set on the vehicle, or mount it using bolts or adhesives. This may damage the dashboard of the vehicle. In addition, in order to use it, the earphone jack 62 is connected to the audio terminal 44 of the mobile phone terminal 41, and the charging terminal 63 is connected to the power terminal provided by the vehicle, when incoming or outgoing calls The call is executed using the microphone 64.

However, since the positions of the connection terminals of the conventional hands-free set and the connection terminals of the mobile handsets are sporadically located, it is inconvenient to connect the users' mobile phones with the hands-free. For example, when the user installs the mobile phone terminal in the hands-free set, the charging terminal and the earphone jack must be connected to the power terminal of the vehicle and the audio terminal of the mobile phone terminal, respectively, and the car must be released in the reverse order of installation. There was a hassle.

Korean Utility Model Registration No. 0252896 (mobile communication terminal, charger, and hands-free set for a vehicle), filed by the same applicant as the applicant of this paper, in order to improve the shortcomings of the charger of the conventional mobile phone terminal, only once with the mobile phone terminal. A hands-free set for a vehicle that can provide a plurality of functions such as a charging function, a voice communication function, a data communication function, and the like by a terminal combination of the two is described.

However, recent automotive design trends are an important consideration in the safety of automotive dashboards. This tendency is more prominent in luxury cars or foreign cars. The reason for this is that a portable communication device stand or cup holder around the car dashboard provides some convenient features, but in some cases it can obstruct driving vision or reduce driver's attention while driving. For example, if a driver is distracted for about two to three seconds while driving at high speed, it is likely to lead to a major accident. In addition, the mounting bracket 65 of the existing vehicle hands-free set is installed on the left side of the dashboard corresponding to the front passenger's seat next to the driver's seat, as shown in FIG. Because of this, there was a problem that may be damaged due to the sharp portion of the mounting stand 65 while the airbag bursts in some cases.

In addition, the existing vehicle hands-free set may give a severe blow if crashed into the occupant during the car accident. Since such a strike is proportional to the speed of the vehicle, it is desirable to avoid placing other objects around the driver or above the rear seat of the vehicle at high speeds.

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art mentioned above, to provide a hands-free set for a vehicle that can accommodate a portable communication device that enables a wireless communication while the driver is driving inside the dashboard of the vehicle. It is for.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a steering wheel for a vehicle in which a call button, a speaker, and a microphone are selectively combined to control a portable communication device.

1 is a perspective view of a conventional vehicle hands-free set.

2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the vehicle hands-free set shown in FIG. 1 is attached to a vehicle;

3 is a perspective view of a hands-free set for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4 is a perspective view of a hands-free set for a vehicle according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, a hands-free set for an automobile according to the present invention includes a dashboard for providing various instrument panels required for driving a vehicle; Located in a specific portion of the dashboard, characterized in that consisting of a housing for a portable communication device having a terminal structure for performing charging, voice and data communication.

Here, a connection terminal portion formed by selectively coupling terminals for performing charging, voice, and data communication is provided in a predetermined planar area of the bottom of the accommodating portion.

To achieve another object of the present invention, a steering wheel for a vehicle is connected to a portable communication device installed in the hands-free set by wire or wirelessly, a call button for starting a call, and a voice signal received by the portable communication device. And a microphone for selectively converting the speaker and a microphone for converting the driver's voice signal into an electrical signal.

According to the features of the present invention, the user's convenience is increased because the mounting is easy, and the hands-free set for the vehicle, which is attached to the driver's seat, is completely stored inside the dashboard, thereby preventing the driver from driving the vehicle in appearance. It may not be received, and also has the advantage that the hands-free set for the car does not impact the driver even during an accident while driving.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described the configuration and operation of the present invention.

On the flat bottom of the accommodating portion 20, a connecting terminal portion 22 formed by combining a plurality of connecting terminals for carrying out charging, voice and data communication at a time is formed. Therefore, if a plurality of connection terminals for performing charging, voice and data communication are formed at a time on the plane of the portable communication device, the driver can simultaneously use the various functions by coupling the portable communication device to the connection terminal part 22 once. will be.

3 is a perspective view of a hands-free set for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the hands-free set for an automobile of the present invention is located on a dashboard 10 that provides various instrument panels required for driving a vehicle, and according to a switch operation of a driver, a lid 20a of the dashboard 10 is provided. It consists of an accommodating portion 20 for a portable communication device that provides an open or closed structure. Here, the housing 20 is shown that the opening and closing switch 21 for the operation of opening or closing the housing lid 20a is provided.
