Description

자동차{A automobile}A automobile

본 발명은 자동차에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 자동차에 포함되는 헤드램프를 제어하기 용이한 자동차에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an automobile, and more particularly, to an automobile that is easy to control a headlamp included in an automobile.

일반적으로, 차량용 헤드램프는 운전자에게 야간 주행을 도와줄 수 있도록 광원을 갖춘 단순한 시스템이었다. In general, vehicle headlamps were simple systems with light sources to assist the driver in driving at night.

그러나 도로조건 및 차량의 속도, 탑승 상태 등의 주행 상태에 따라 헤드램프의 조사 각도를 좌우 또는 상하, 빔 패턴의 형상 등을 바꿔주는 향상된 기능을 제공하는 헤드램프 시스템이 다양하게 개발, 양산 되고 있다. However, various headlamp systems have been developed and mass-produced to provide improved functions for changing the angle of the headlamp to the left or right, up and down, and the shape of the beam pattern according to the driving conditions such as road conditions, vehicle speed, and riding conditions. .

운전자에게 이런 기능 제공을 위해 헤드램프 내부에는 각종 엑츄에이터가 장착되고 차량의 주행 상태 등의 정보는 하드와이어 또는 통신 등을 이용하여 각종 ECU로 부터 신호를 받아 제어를 위한 ECU, 차량의 탑승 상태, 차고 높이 등을 감지하기 위한 차고센서 등의 구성 요소를 갖는다. In order to provide this function to the driver, various actuators are installed inside the headlamp, and information such as driving status of the vehicle can be controlled by receiving signals from various ECUs using hard wire or communication, etc. It has a component such as a height sensor for detecting the height and the like.

그런데 헤드램프의 제어 기능 중 최소한 법규 만족을 하기 위한 기능도 포함이 된다. 예를 들면 차량의 부하 상태 등에 따라 헤드램프의 컷오프 라인을 제어하는 오토레벨링 시스템의 경우 판매 지역의 차량에 따라 관련 법규가 상이하고 이에 따라 ECU에서 제어하고자 하는 출력 범위의 값이 달라지게 된다. However, at least the headlamp control function is included to satisfy the law. For example, in the case of an autoleveling system that controls the cutoff line of a headlamp according to the load condition of a vehicle, the related laws vary according to the vehicle in the sales area, and accordingly, the value of the output range to be controlled by the ECU varies.

또한 Traffic change 기능과 같이 LHD 지역의 차량이 RHD 지역으로 이동하여 주행할 경우 대항차량에 눈부심이 발생하므로 이를 방지하기 위해 컷오프 라인의 형상을 변경하거나 레벨링 기능을 통해 컷오프의 높이를 낮추는 등의 기능을 갖추고 있다. 이를 위해서는 운전자가 메뉴얼에 명시된 방법을 활용하여 기능을 구현하여야 한다. In addition, when the vehicle in the LHD area moves to the RHD area, and the vehicle is moved to the RHD area, glare occurs in the counter vehicle, such as changing the shape of the cutoff line or lowering the height of the cutoff through the leveling function. Equipped. To do this, the driver must implement the function using the method specified in the manual.

또한 Fun 기능과 같이 차량이 정차 상태에서 운전자에게 차량의 옵션 기능인 AFLS를 직접 눈으로 접할 수 있도록 정차상태에서 좌우로 컷오프 라인을 회전 시켜주는 기능도 구비하고 있는데, 차량이 LHD인 경우와 RHD인 경우 각각 대항차량에 눈부심을 주지 않도록 주행 차선의 바깥쪽으로만 제어하고 있다.It also has a function that rotates the cutoff line from side to side while the vehicle is stopped so that the driver can directly see the optional AFLS of the vehicle while the vehicle is stopped. Each is controlled outside of the driving lane so as not to cause glare to opposing vehicles.

본 발명의 목적은, 자동차에 포함되는 헤드램프를 제어하기 용이한 자동차를 제공함에 있다.An object of the present invention is to provide an automobile which is easy to control a headlamp included in the automobile.

It may include; an electronic control unit for controlling.

본 발명에 따른 자동차는, GPS 수신기로 수신되는 자동차의 위치정보에 따라 지역 또는 국가를 판단하고, 지역 또는 국가 내에서 헤드램프에 대한 최소 법규 또는 규정에 맞는 헤드램프의 제어값를 판단하여 헤드램프를 제어할 수 있도록 함으로써, 운전자의 편의성을 증대시킬 수 있는 이점이 있다.The vehicle according to the present invention determines a region or a country according to the location information of the vehicle received by the GPS receiver, and determines the control value of the headlamp in accordance with the minimum laws or regulations for the headlamp in the region or country. By allowing control, there is an advantage that can increase the convenience of the driver.
