The present invention relates to a traffic safety sign, and more particularly, to a traffic safety sign that enables easy and accurate identification of a sign made of letters, numbers or figures to be transmitted at a long distance.

In the vicinity of the road, signs of regulatory nature, such as speed limits or banning of warning signs, signs to warn of the presence of wildlife reserves or crosswalks, road crossings, lane reductions, slopes, etc. Various kinds of traffic safety signs are installed, including signs to convey information about themselves, signs made of letters, numbers or figures. In addition, such a sign is generally divided into a cover region showing a cover, a peripheral region surrounding the cover region, and an edge region surrounding the peripheral region.

In the past, these signs were generally manufactured using luminous paint or attached to a diffused reflection sheet, so that the signs could be identified by the reflection of the headlights of a driving car.

However, such a general sign of the prior art is that the driver can recognize the information to be conveyed through the sign at night, at least so long as the car approaches the location where the sign is set so that the lights of the headlights of the car reach the sign. Accordingly, in a construction section in which the transverse line of the road changes drastically, or in an automobile-only road where high-speed driving is scheduled, the driver may not only recognize the sign of the sign correctly but may also be unable to recognize the presence of the sign. Also, in the case of a wide road, the headlights may not reach the sign if the vehicle is driven in a lane far from the sign on which the passing vehicle is limited due to the limited range of the headlights of the car. In this case, the driver may not be able to recognize the sign displayed on the sign through the reflection, no matter how low speed.

As such, it is difficult for the driver to recognize the sign, which means that it is difficult to accurately convey the information necessary for safe driving to the driver, and may mean that the risk of an accident increases.

As an improvement of the problems of the prior art as described above, there has been disclosed a sign that includes a light emitting device that emits itself upon supplying electricity such as a light bulb or a light emitting diode (hereinafter, referred to as an LED), and a power supply for supplying electricity thereto.

However, in the case of a sign using a light bulb, it is difficult to arrange the light bulb so as to adequately represent the letters, numbers, or shapes constituting the cover, and the short life of the light bulb due to the short life span of the light bulb, which makes it difficult to maintain the light bulb. Except for the purpose of this purpose, there is a problem that is not practical.

On the other hand, LEDs have a longer lifespan and consume less power than light bulbs, and can be disposed to be suitable for representing letters, numbers, or figures constituting a cover. I am getting it.

However, the sign with the LED according to the prior art, because the structure is arranged evenly in all the areas of the sign, the power consumption is low, the use of a large number of LED is no longer economical because the advantage is less However, there is a problem in that it is not desirable to allow the driver to recognize the marker accurately and easily as the identification of the marker is reduced because the distinction between the marker region showing the marker on the sign and the surrounding area is ambiguous.

As devised to solve the problems of the prior art as described above,

The present invention uses LEDs, while using a small number of LEDs, the cover area indicating the mark to be delivered, the surrounding area surrounding the cover area, and the edge area surrounding the surrounding area are clearly distinguished, allowing the driver The objective is to provide traffic safety signs that enable the user to recognize signs accurately and easily.

The present invention for realizing this,

A power supply unit; And

It provides a traffic safety sign comprising a; control the power supply to control the lighting and the lighting off the diffused use LED and the indicator LED.

The base plate may further include a partition wall protruding forward toward the front plate so as to correspond to a boundary between the peripheral area and the edge area.

The apparatus may further include a reflective sheet attached to the rear surface of the edge region.

In addition, the peripheral region is characterized in that the colored opaque sheet of a predetermined color is attached to the front or rear to block the transmission of light and at the same time implement the required color.

In addition, the cover region and the edge region is characterized in that the color is implemented by attaching a colored transparent sheet of a predetermined color on each front or rear surface.

In addition, the solar panel is characterized in that it is disposed in the form of protruding forward from the top of the front panel.

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

1 is an exploded perspective view showing a sign portion of a traffic safety sign according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a sign portion of a traffic safety sign according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is the present invention 4 is an exploded perspective view showing a front plate of a traffic safety sign according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an example of a specific installation form of a traffic safety sign according to the present invention.

Traffic safety signs according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is made of a configuration including a sign unit 100, a power supply (not shown), and a control unit (not shown).

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the sign unit 100 includes a front plate 10, a frame 20 that closes the perimeter of the front plate, and a plurality of diffused LEDs 30 installed inside the frame 20. , A base plate 40 coupled to the back of the front plate 10, and a plurality of indicator LEDs 50 arranged in a restricted area on the base plate.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the front plate 10 includes a cover region 60 showing a cover to be delivered, a peripheral region 70 surrounding the cover region 60, and a peripheral region 70. It is divided into the edge region 80 surrounding the. The front plate 10 may be formed using a transparent plate such as a transparent acrylic plate having a predetermined thickness, and the cover area 60 expressing a cover made of figures, letters, or numbers is transparent to allow light to pass therethrough. The periphery area 70 surrounding the cover area 60 is opaque to block the transmission of light, and the edge area 80 surrounding the periphery area 70 has a V-shaped groove ( 81) is processed into dense lattice arrangements to produce diffuse reflection.

In detail, when the front plate 10 is manufactured using the transparent plate, the cover area 60 is a separate area as the area left inside the peripheral area 70 as the peripheral area 70 is opaquely processed. It may not be processed. That is, the peripheral area 70 may be treated to block the transmission of light by attaching the opaque sheet 75 to the front or the rear, in this process the portion corresponding to the cover area 60 on the opaque sheet 75 Perforated cover area 60 is to remain in a transparent state. Peripheral region 70 may be attached to the colored opaque sheet of the required color to block the transmission of light and at the same time to implement the required color. Of course, the peripheral area 70 may be treated in various ways such as the method of attaching the opaque sheet 75 as well as the method of painting using an opaque paint.

Frame 20 is to close the periphery of the front plate 10, as shown in Figure 2, so that the edge region 80 of the front plate 10 is partially inserted into the overlapping state The groove 25 is provided. The depth of the groove 25 is formed deeper than the insertion depth so that a space is generated between the cross section of the front plate 10 and the bottom surface of the groove 25.

The above space secured in the groove 25 of the frame 20 is used as a space for installing the diffused LED 30. That is, a plurality of diffused LEDs 30 are installed at appropriate intervals along the longitudinal direction in the grooves 25 of the frame 20. Individually, the diffused LED 30 is installed in a structure in which the PCB 35 is disposed on the bottom surface of the groove 25, and the diffused LED 30 is disposed on the PCB 35. Therefore, when power is supplied, the diffused LED 30 emits light toward the center of the cover region 60 at the cross-sectional side of the edge region 80, and the edge region 80 is dense on one surface in order to induce diffused reflection. As the V-shaped grooves 81 are processed in a lattice arrangement, the light emitted from the diffused LEDs 30 is diffusely reflected to uniformly illuminate the edge region 80 as a whole.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the reflective sheet 85 is attached to the rear surface of the edge region 80. As such, the reflective sheet 85 is provided to improve the brightness of the light that is emitted from the diffused LED 30 that emits in the lateral direction and diffusely reflected in the edge region 80 and then finally turned forward. . Thus, the number of diffusely-used LEDs 30 required to illuminate the edge region 80 may be reduced.

Base plate 40 is coupled to the rear of the front plate 10, the edge 45 is formed to protrude forward along the edge is formed to have a space therein. Then, a plurality of indicator LEDs 50 are installed by using such a space in the base plate 40. Such an indicator LED 50 is arranged in a limited region on the base plate 40 immediately after the cover region 60 of the front plate 10. Specifically, the indicator LED 50 is installed in a structure in which the PCB 55 is disposed in a limited area on the base plate 40 and the indicator LED 50 is disposed on the PCB 55. That is, by not limiting and intensively arranging the LED 50 for the cover only behind the cover area 60 requiring lighting, without placing the LED 50 for the surrounding area 70 that does not need to emit light. It is possible to significantly reduce the number of indicator LEDs 50 to be. In addition, unlike the diffused LED 30, the cover LED 50 is disposed so that the emitted light vertically penetrates the front plate 10 behind the front plate 10 through the cover region 60, and thus the edge region. Through 80, the front plate 10 will emit more intense light than is emitted by diffuse reflection.

On the other hand, the base plate 40 preferably includes a partition wall 47 protruding forward toward the front plate 10 to correspond to the boundary between the peripheral region 70 and the edge region 80. That is, the indicator LED 50 as described above is arranged in a restricted area inside the partition wall 47, so that the light emitted from the indicator LED 50 can be prevented from affecting the edge area 80. do.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cover area 60 and the edge area 80 may be colored with transparent colored sheets 65 and 85 of a predetermined color on each front or rear surface of the desired color, if necessary. It will be able to give out. Meanwhile, in some cases, the cover area 60 and the edge area 80 may emit light of a desired color even by adjusting the color of the LEDs 50 and 30 that light up each area. However, there may be some restrictions as the available LED color is limited.

As shown in FIG. 4, the power supply unit is for supplying electricity for emitting the diffused LED 30 and the indicator LED 50, and may use general external power, but the solar panel 90 and the storage battery may be used. (Not shown). As the solar panel 90 is provided, traffic safety signs according to the present invention can be installed and operated even in an area where power supply is difficult. On the other hand, according to the traffic safety sign of the present invention as described above is made of a configuration using a small number of LED, it is possible to configure a power supply unit with a relatively low capacity solar panel 90 and the storage battery, the power supply unit In the construction, it will be possible to obtain side effects such as cost reduction. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the solar panel 90 is preferably disposed to protrude forward from an upper portion of the front panel 10 of the sign portion 100. In this case, the solar panel 90 performs not only a main function of generating electricity, but also a function of blocking sunlight from affecting the front panel 10 during the day, thereby preventing the identification of a label to be deteriorated by direct sunlight. do.

Traffic safety signs as described above are controlled through a control unit (not shown). The control unit is connected to the power supply to control the lighting and turning off of the diffused use LED 30 and the indicator LED 50, may be controlled to emit light at all times lighting or flashing mainly at night, the light does not It may be controlled to emit light for 24 hours in places or in bad weather.

Traffic safety signs according to the present invention as described above, in the cover area 60 for emitting a strong light toward the front by the indicator LED (50) disposed in the immediate room, and in the diffused use LED (30) located on the side The emitted light is diffusely reflected by the V-shaped groove 81 and positioned in the middle between the edge region 80 and the edge region 80 and the cover region 60 that emit light weaker than the cover region 60 toward the front. It is divided into a peripheral area 70 that emits no light at all. That is, from the light point of view, the strong light cover region 60, the peripheral region 70 which emits no light at all, and the edge region 70 which emits weak light are clearly distinguished according to the degree of light emission.

As such, since the part exposed to the front is clearly divided into three areas according to the difference in brightness of the light, the appearance of the sign 100 can be easily recognized even at a long distance, and the most important sign area 60 is surrounded. It is more prominent than the area 70 and the edge area 80 so that the identification is significantly easier. That is, while it is possible to easily recognize the existence of the traffic safety sign by the light emission by the LED basically, the appearance of the sign portion 100 of the traffic safety sign by the light emission of the edge area 80, The driver can easily and accurately recognize the sign to be transmitted through the strong light emission of the cover area 60 highlighted to be clearly distinguished from the surrounding area 70 and the edge area 80.

By providing a traffic safety sign according to the present invention as described above, the present invention has a sign area, a peripheral area and an edge area that is clearly distinguished by the difference in the degree of light emission, so that it is easy to identify even at a long distance, especially at night, Allows the driver to easily and accurately recognize the presence and appearance of traffic safety signs and the signs to be conveyed. In addition, it can be configured using a small number of LEDs, and the power supply can be configured with a small capacity solar panel and storage battery, providing excellent economics in terms of manufacturing.

Although the present invention as described above has been shown and described with respect to specific embodiments, it is common in the art that various design changes and changes are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as indicated in the utility model registration claims. Anyone with knowledge will know it easily.
