열선이 구비된 자동차의 사이드 미러{Side mirror having an heat wire in a motor vehicle}Side mirror having an heat wire in a motor vehicle}

본 발명은 자동차의 사이드 미러에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 우천시나 또는 기온이 낮은 겨울철 사이드 미러의 결빙을 방지할 수 있는 자동차의 사이드 미러에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a side mirror of an automobile, and more particularly, to a side mirror of an automobile capable of preventing freezing of the side mirror in rainy weather or in winter.

일반적으로, 자동차의 사이드 도어에는 사이드 미러가 장착되며, 이러한 사이드 미러는 자동차의 차선변경시 후방에서 진행하는 자동차를 인식할 수 있게 함으로써, 접촉사고나 충돌사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있도록 하는 역할을 한다.In general, the side mirror of the vehicle is equipped with a side mirror, such that the side mirror can recognize the car running in the rear when changing the lane of the car, thereby preventing the contact accident or collision accident in advance do.

이와 같은 사이드 미러는 기상이 좋은 맑은 날에는 제 기능을 충분히 발휘하지만, 눈 또는 비가 내리는 우천시 사이드 미러에 물방울이 맺히거나 혹은 동절기와 같이 급격한 기온강하로 인하여 사이드 미러가 결빙되어 성에 등이 끼어있을 경우 운전자의 후방시야를 가려지는 문제점이 있었다.Such side mirrors function well on sunny days when the weather is good, but when the rain or rainy weather causes water droplets on the side mirrors or when the side mirrors freeze due to a sudden drop in temperature such as winter, There was a problem of covering the driver's rear view.

이와 같은 경우, 운전자는 사이드 미러의 후방시계 확보를 위하여 사이드 도어의 윈도 글래스를 내리고 휴지나 천등을 이용하여 미러에 묻은 물기를 닦아내야 하는데, 조수석측의 사이드미러의 경우에는 손이 미치지 못하기 때문에, 물기를 닦아 내지 못한 채 주행하게 되어 자칫 자동차 안전사고에 쉽게 노출되는 문제점이 있었다.In this case, the driver must lower the window glass of the side door and wipe off the moisture on the mirror using a tissue or cloth to secure the rear view of the side mirror. There was a problem that the car is easily exposed to a car accident because it does not wipe the water.

이에 본 발명은 상기한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은 사이드 미러에 열선을 설치하여 미러를 일정온도로 히팅시킴으로써 미러의 결빙에 의한 운전자의 후방시계 저하를 방지할 수 있는 열선이 구비된 자동차의 사이드 미러를 제공함에 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to install a heating wire in the side mirror by heating the mirror to a certain temperature heating wire that can prevent the driver's rear clock deterioration due to freezing of the mirror It is to provide a side mirror of a vehicle provided.

도 1은 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 사이드 미러를 도시한 사시도.1 is a perspective view showing a side mirror according to an embodiment of the present invention.

도 2는 도 1의 A-A'섹션 방향의 단면구조를 보인 단면도.Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional structure of the AA 'section direction of FIG.

상기한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 사이드 미러는 하우징; 상기 하우징 전면부에 장착되는 미러; 상기 미러를 일정온도로 가열시킬 수 있도록 상기 미러의 배면에 부착되는 열선; 및 상기 열선과 전기적으로 연결된 전원과, 상기 전원을 개폐하는 스위치로 이루어진 제어부를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다.Side mirror of the present invention for achieving the above object is a housing; A mirror mounted to the housing front part; A heating wire attached to a rear surface of the mirror to heat the mirror to a predetermined temperature; And a control unit comprising a power source electrically connected to the heating wire, and a switch for opening and closing the power source.

이하, 본 발명의 바람직한 일실시예를 첨부도면을 참조하여 상세하게 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

도 1은 본 발명에 따른 사이드 미러의 개략적인 구조를 도시한 사시도이고, 도 2는 도 1에 도시된 사이드 미러의 A-A'섹션 방향의 단면구조를 나타낸 단면도이다.1 is a perspective view showing a schematic structure of a side mirror according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional structure in the A-A 'section direction of the side mirror shown in FIG.

도 1 및 도 2를 참조하면, 본 발명의 사이드 미러(200)는 하우징(210)과, 상기 하우징(210)의 전면부에 장착되는 미러(220)와, 상기 미러(220)의 배면에 부착되는 열선(230) 및 상기 열선(230)에 전원을 공급하기 위한 제어부(240)를 포함하여 구성된다.1 and 2, the side mirror 200 of the present invention is attached to a housing 210, a mirror 220 mounted on a front portion of the housing 210, and a rear surface of the mirror 220. It is configured to include a heating wire 230 and a control unit 240 for supplying power to the heating wire 230.

구체적으로, 상기 하우징(210)은 사이드 도어(도시안됨)의 외면 일측에 접철 가능하게 장착되며, 상기 하우징(210)의 개구된 전면부에는 미러(220)가 설치된다.Specifically, the housing 210 is foldably mounted on one side of the outer surface of the side door (not shown), and the mirror 220 is installed at the opened front portion of the housing 210.

또한, 상기 미러(220)의 배면에는 상기 미러(220)를 일정온도로 히팅(heating)시킬 수 있도록 하는 열선(230)이 상기 미러(220)의 일정면적을 커버하며 부착된다.In addition, a heating wire 230 is attached to the rear surface of the mirror 220 to cover the predetermined area of the mirror 220 to heat the mirror 220 to a predetermined temperature.

상기 열선(230)은 제어부(240)에 의해 컨트롤되며, 이를 위하여 상기 제어부(240)는 상기 열선(230)의 양단과 전기적으로 연결되어 상기 열선(230)에 전류를 제공하는 전원(242)과, 상기 전원(242)에 의한 전류를 상기 열선(230)에 공급 또는 차단할 수 있도록 상기 전원(242)을 개폐하는 스위치(244)를 포함한다.The heating wire 230 is controlled by the control unit 240, and for this purpose, the control unit 240 is electrically connected to both ends of the heating wire 230 to supply a current to the heating wire 230 and And a switch 244 that opens and closes the power source 242 to supply or cut off the current by the power source 242 to the heating wire 230.

여기서, 상기 스위치(244)는 운전자의 편의를 고려하여 자동차 실내에서 조작이 편리한 위치에 적절히 구비시켜 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.In this case, the switch 244 is preferably used in a vehicle convenient location in consideration of the driver's convenience.

상술한 구성의 본 발명은 우천시나 또는 동절기 급격한 기온 강하에 의한 사이드 미러(220)의 결빙시, 운전자가 제어부(240)에 구비된 스위치(244)를 접점시키게 되면, 전원(242)이 통전되면서 열선(230)의 양단에 일정 전압차가 형성되어 상기 열선(230)의 온도가 일정온도까지 상승되고, 더불어, 상기 열선(230)을 통해 미러(220)가 직접적으로 가열되어 상기 미러(220)의 결빙상태를 점진적으로 해소시킬 수 있다.According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, when the driver contacts the switch 244 included in the control unit 240 when the side mirror 220 freezes during rainy weather or during a sudden winter temperature drop, the power source 242 is energized. A constant voltage difference is formed at both ends of the heating wire 230 so that the temperature of the heating wire 230 is raised to a predetermined temperature, and the mirror 220 is directly heated through the heating wire 230 to directly It can gradually resolve the freezing state.

상술한 본 발명에 의하면, 우천시나 동절기 급격한 기온강하에 의한 사이드 미러의 결빙에도 상기 열선을 통해 미러의 결빙상태를 해제시킬 수 있기 때문에, 자동차 주행시 운전자의 후방시계를 원활히 확보할 수 있으므로 자동차의 안전운행을 도모할 수 있다.According to the present invention described above, the freezing state of the mirror through the heating wire can be released even in the freezing of the side mirror due to a sudden drop in temperature during the rainy weather or winter, so that the driver's rear clock can be smoothly secured when driving a car. Operation can be planned.
