Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a brake light device of a vehicle, and more particularly, to a brake light device of a vehicle to control the brake light that is turned on when the driver presses the brake pedal during driving to be turned on in a desired state.
In general, in order to keep a vehicle safe, a vehicle needs to be able to display signals and warnings to other vehicle drivers in addition to lighting.
Such a display function may be provided by mounting a light, a traffic light, a warning light, and an indicator light provided in the vehicle body, and in particular, the brake light plays an important role of alerting a vehicle driving following a braking state in which the vehicle reduces speed while driving.
Such brake lights must be provided in all vehicles, and are installed at both sides of the rear of the vehicle at a predetermined width, and are installed to be turned on in conjunction with the brake pedal.
Meanwhile, in the case of brake lights installed in most vehicles to date, every type of vehicle produced by a car maker is produced in the same shape and applied to each vehicle, and the shape of the light that is lit also has a constant shape. .
In addition, in recent years, a number of people who reconfigure the vehicle to suit their own preferences by applying various functions and designs as well as functions as a simple means of transportation, and thus various types of accessories mounted on the vehicle have been developed and sold. .
By the way, since the device which can set or change the overall shape of the brake light and the shape (lighting shape) which is shown at the time of the lighting is not developed yet, the vehicle is variously redesigned and redesigned. For many vehicle owners who want to do so, there is an urgent need for the development of a brake light device that enables the brake light to be turned on as desired.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide an improved brake light apparatus of a vehicle so that a user can adjust and use a lighting pattern appearing when the brake light of the vehicle is turned on as desired.
Brake light device of a vehicle of the present invention for achieving the above object, and a brake light unit comprising a plurality of LEDs; A power supply unit supplying power independently to each of the plurality of LEDs; A control unit controlling the power supply unit in response to an operation signal of a brake pedal to control power supply to the LED; And a setting unit for presetting the power to be selectively supplied to only a specific specific LED among the plurality of LEDs. The setting unit may be configured to emit only a desired LED so as to emit light in a specific shape. It features.
Here, the setting unit, the setting unit main body; A plurality of switching units provided to connect the power supply unit and the plurality of LEDs, respectively; A plurality of selection units installed in the setting unit body so as to correspond to the plurality of LEDs, respectively, and configured to individually select an electrical connection and a short circuit of each of the switching units connected to the plurality of LEDs. It is preferable to connect only the switching connected to the selection unit selected by the user from the unit so that only the LED connected to the switching unit in the connected state is turned on when the brake is operated.
In addition, the plurality of selectors may be installed in the setting unit main body in an array pattern corresponding to the array pattern of the plurality of LEDs.
The plurality of selectors may include a touch panel provided in the setting unit main body.
In addition, the plurality of selectors may include a select button installed in the main body of the setting unit to operate each of the switching units in an on / off state.
In addition, the voltage sensing unit for sensing the voltage supplied to the brake lamp; A comparison determination unit comparing the magnitude of the voltage sensed by the voltage sensing unit with a reference value; And an output unit configured to output a warning signal when a voltage supplied to the brake lamp is less than a reference value as a result of the comparison in the comparison determination unit. The control unit may include the comparison result in the comparison determination unit. When the voltage supplied to the brake lamp is less than the reference value, it is preferable to control to output a warning signal through the output unit, and to control the switching unit to supply a voltage higher than the reference value.
According to the brake light device of the vehicle of the present invention, it is possible to set the shape of the brake light of the vehicle so that the user is turned on to appear in the desired design. In particular, since the user or installer can easily select and set the lighting pattern, there is an advantage that it is easy to use and popularly spread.
In addition, it is possible to set the lighting shape of the brake light within the standards set by the law, there is an advantage that the user can set the desired shape in the state of ensuring safety without violating the legal regulations.
Therefore, there is an advantage that can provide a vehicle owner and drivers who are not satisfied with the shape of the conventional general brake lights, the opportunity to design the brake lights to the desired shape.

Here, the reference value corresponds to a voltage value that must be supplied to satisfy the minimum brightness and effective area required when the brake light is turned on. The reference value may be set corresponding to a legal reference value (safety standard) prescribed by law. Therefore, since these reference values may vary from country to country, the specific values are not important, but the reference values may be preset and provided by the producer or the seller.

Thus, according to the brake light device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user can select and set the shape of the lighting so that the brake light is turned on by the design, pattern, etc. desired by the user. In particular, by providing the
Of course, there is an advantage that can be easily manipulated by the seller, auto repair shop, vehicle tuning company, etc., the user can design the brake light with the desired design.
While the invention has been shown and described in connection with preferred embodiments for illustrating the principles of the invention, the invention is not limited to the construction and operation as shown and described. Rather, those skilled in the art will appreciate that many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
