BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a light emitting lamp for indicating a position attached to a brake and an accelerator in front of a driver's seat of a vehicle and a pedal of a clutch. At this time, there is no light source to indicate the position of brake or accelerator, so when you need a sudden driving operation, especially when you doze off during the night, you need to press the accelerator because you do not know the exact position. May occur. Therefore, a function that can recognize the brake position at the moment when a sudden brake operation is required.

Therefore, the present invention provides a function of detecting an obstacle or a vehicle in front of a safety distance by equipping a brake and an accelerator pedal of a car and a light emitting lamp having different colors indicating the position of the brake and the accelerator on the driver's seat. It is an object to make a warning sound automatically and to indicate the position of the accelerator or brake pedal automatically.

In the present invention, as shown in Fig. 1, an accelerator 1 of a vehicle using an automatic transmission is equipped with a light source of one color and a different color on the brake 2. The average person understands red as a stop and green as a driving signal, so this green light is applied to the accelerator pedal and the red light as the primary color. Of course, the brakes can be orange or the accelerator blue. As shown in Fig. 2, a light source indicating the clutch 3 is added for the vehicle equipped with the manual transmission. .

Accelerators and brake pedals vary depending on the vehicle, but because they are hidden by the steering wheel and cannot be seen directly by the driver's eyes, as shown in FIG. 3, green light is radiated from the light source installed at the bottom of the accelerator pedal 1 so that the driver's seat A color tone (4) indicating the position of the accelerator projected on the vehicle, and a color tone (5) indicating the brake position projected on the floor of the driver's seat by being irradiated from the red light source installed at the bottom of the brake pedal (2); The yellow light source installed at the bottom of the clutch pedal 3 is illuminated to inform the driver of the positions through the color tone 6 indicating the clutch position projected on the floor of the driver's seat. Since the accelerator and brake pedal of the current car are hidden from the steering wheel, the device is hard to see, so that the driver can see the brake, the accelerator, and the flashing light indicating the pedal position of the clutch so that the driver can see it. The position is indicated through the projected color tone.

 4 shows an example of the light source 15 mounted on the rear surface 14 of the pedal of the brake of FIG. 3 and the red light 5 projected on the floor in more detail. The light source was mounted downward so that it could be irradiated so that the color tone was projected on the floor in front of the driver's seat so that the driver could sit in the driver's seat and check the position.

 As another method of indicating the pedal position, as shown in FIG. 5, a light source indicating an accelerator, a brake and a clutch position may be provided on the floor or the floor covering under the driver's seat to emit light.

These configurations allow the driver to quickly sense the pedal position of the brake or accelerator of the car he is driving, so that the driver can operate the brake or accelerator accurately.

In particular, when a car in operation finds an obstacle or a vehicle in front of an object in front of it through an automatic distance detection system (distance camera and software program that detects the approaching car within a safe distance), an alarm sounds. At the same time, the light from the light source showing the brake position emits an alarm light so that the driver can recognize the brake position momentarily when it is necessary to stop at night or suddenly stop. The light sources 2, 5, and 8 indicating the brake position flash for an alarm to instruct the driver to stop. The light source installed on the floor or the rug of the driver's seat is concentrated around the brake pedal at the edge of the floor or the rug as illustrated in FIG. 6 to indicate the position of the brake. This function is shown in more detail in FIG. The light source 13 is arranged in the direction a to b toward the brake pedal 2 on the floor or the rug 12 of the driver's seat where the light source is mounted. It appears to move from b to b, concentrating on the position of the brake pedal (2) so that the driver can instantly grasp the brake pedal position and manipulate the brake position with the foot. The pedals of the accelerators, brakes and clutches listed above, and the flashing lights that indicate the position on the floor make it possible to instantly recognize and operate the pedals when sudden brake operation is required. Will have an effect.

The following is a summary and clarification of the above.

1. Location where the light source is installed

1) Install one color light source on each pedal of accelerator, brake and clutch

2) One color light source is mounted on the lower part of the pedals of the accelerator, brake and clutch, and the color tone is projected on the floor of the driver's seat, that is, the floor directly below the pedals of the accelerator, brake and clutch.

3) Mount the light source on the floor of the driver's seat to indicate the position of the accelerator, brake and clutch pedal.

4) A light source can be used as a light source that indicates the pedal position by projecting the position of the pedal itself and the color tone downward.

2. Example of color of light source

1) Accelerator-Green

2) Brake-Red

3) Clutch-Yellow

4) Alternatively, each pedal may have one different color.

3. Example of operation of the light source

1) The light source indicating the position of the accelerator, brake and clutch is always on.

2) Only the brake position light source is always on.

3) The brake position light source is turned on only when the vehicle's front sensor detects an object.

4) When the brake turns on the light source of the accelerator and the brake turns on the light source when the accelerator is used.

5) Position indication light source of accelerator, brake, clutch (when the light source is on or off, in any case) When the front sensor detects an object

1> Only the light source indicating the brake pedal is flashing.

2> Only the light source indicating the brake pedal is turned on

3> When the light source mounted on the driver's seat or rug indicating the brake pedal position focuses the light on the brake pedal position.

4> To emit more intense light than usual to direct the brake pedal (flushing of LEDs or cameras, any type of light source except harmful rays to the human body).

4. Type of light source

Any light source that can be used, such as ordinary light bulbs, LEDs, and flashlights can be adopted, and one light source or various light sources can be used.

5. The alarm signal sound includes mechanical sound, musical instrument sound, natural sound, human development, animal sound, etc.

Can be used.

6. There is a function to adjust the intensity and type of light intensity and alarm sound so that it can be used according to the needs of the driver.

In this way, the driver who drives the vehicle recognizes the pedal position of the accelerator, brake, and clutch, and helps the driver to quickly recognize the position of the pedal and operate it when the driver wakes up at night or when he is asleep. Can help prevent

The present invention is equipped with a light source of a different color tone indicating the pedal position to the accelerator, brake, clutch of the vehicle as described above, so that the driver can recognize the pedal position of the accelerator, brake, clutch quickly and operate quickly. It can be effective. In particular, when the vehicle suddenly approaches within a safe distance, it emits an alarm sound and at the same time, a light source that directs the pedal position operates to provide the driver with quick and accurate braking to prevent accidents. In addition, in general, all the operable functions required for the driver to operate the vehicle should be in a position where the driver can see the present invention. The present invention has an effect of satisfying this need by installing a light indicating the position of the accelerator, brake, and clutch. .
