Abstract
A pedestrian crossing illuminator is disclosed which allows pedestrians to illuminate from the delivery of a pedestrian crossing to the road so as to be easily identified, and indirect lighting by means of a reflector is used so as not to be dimmed directly to the pedestrian.
The present invention relates to a light emitting device comprising a first light emitting portion extending from a lamppole to a road and arranged to emit light upward; A second light emitting portion rotatably coupled to one end of the first light emitting portion and arranged to emit light upward; And a reflector disposed at an upper end of the first light emitting portion and reflecting the light emitted from the first light emitting portion and the second light emitting portion so as to indirectly dim the light guide and the road, A crosswalk illumination device is provided that allows a driver of a vehicle to easily recognize a crosswalk even when the clock is poor or when approaching at a high speed.
Description
The present invention relates to a crosswalk illuminator, and more particularly, to a crosswalk illuminator capable of uniformly illuminating illumination from a roadway where a crosswalk is drawn to a roadway.
In general, a pedestrian crossing is displayed on the road surface so that the pedestrian can cross the road safely on the road where the car is traveling, and the pedestrian traffic light is installed on the pedestrian crossing pedestrian crossing, To secure the time to cross the road safely.
On the other hand, the street including the area surrounding the pedestrian crossing is provided with a street light which is turned on at sunset and unlit during the day, so that a vehicle traveling on the road at night and a pedestrian crossing the road can safely run and walk.
However, since a general streetlight as described above should not confuse a driver's view of a driving car, its brightness is relatively dark, so that a person or an object at a close distance can be identified. However, This is not easy.
As an example of the prior art for solving the above-mentioned problems, there has been proposed a method of using a signal lamp pillar having a light for pedestrian protection as shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 4, Fig. 8, etc. of Korean Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2000-6419 Assembly 'has been provided. This technique is intended to secure the safety of pedestrians by illuminating the crosswalk at night by attaching an illumination light for illuminating a pedestrian crossing to a signal light for vehicle control installed at a position adjacent to the pedestrian crossing. However, such a prior art light fixture with a light fixture requires that the angle of the light fixture provided to illuminate the crosswalk be adjusted in view of the fact that the traffic light is installed at a position substantially spaced from the crosswalk in general, The light emitted from the illuminating lamp installed so as to have a slope may interfere with the visibility of the driver to threaten safe driving. In addition, this technique can be applied only to the crosswalk where the traffic light is installed.
That is, in the case of a road where a pedestrian crossing for pedestrians is displayed on the road but the number of pedestrians is not so large and the traffic volume of the vehicle is not large, and the traffic lights for vehicles and pedestrians are not installed, It is difficult to recognize the presence or absence of a crosswalk in front of the vehicle, which may cause a human accident that can not be reversed if the vehicle travels at a high speed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pedestrian crossing lighting system which enables easy identification of pedestrians crossing from the delivery of a pedestrian crossing to a road and indirect lighting using a reflector, Device.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a crosswalk illuminator comprising: a first light emitting unit extending from a lamppole to a road and arranged to emit light upward; A second light emitting portion rotatably coupled to one end of the first light emitting portion and arranged to emit light upward; And a reflector disposed at an upper end of the first light emitting unit and reflecting the light emitted from the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit to indirectly dim the light emitted from the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit.
At this time, the reflection part is installed to have a predetermined angle with respect to the ground surface, receives light of the first light emitting part installed horizontally to the ground and reflects the light to the road side, receives light of the second light emitting part having a certain angle with the first light emitting part, As shown in FIG. For example, the simulation results show that the reflector has an angle of 10 to 15 degrees with respect to the paper surface, the angle between the first light emitting portion and the second light emitting portion is 95 to 105 degrees, When the distance between the light emitting part and the reflection part is 30 cm, the light dimming effect is the best.
Meanwhile, the output of the first light emitting unit may be greater than the output of the second light emitting unit, so that the reflected light has a constant illuminance. In addition, since the angle of reflection of light reflected toward the road must be large, the lens emission angle of the first light emission unit can be set larger than the LED emission angle of the second light emission unit.
The crosswalk lighting device according to the present invention is installed on a pedestrian crossing and can illuminate both the roadway and the roadway so that the pedestrian can secure a clock from the road to the road. If the driver of the vehicle is bad at night or bad weather, The crosswalk can be easily recognized even when approaching at a high speed, so that an accident that may occur in the crosswalk can be prevented.
In addition, by using the indirect lighting using the reflector, there is an advantage that the pedestrian can easily pass the crosswalk by reducing the glare caused by the light that the pedestrian can feel.
Further, there is an advantage that the design change can be facilitated so that the angle of the two light emitting units rotatably installed and the angle of the reflection unit can be adjusted to have the optimum illuminance and the uniform illuminance.
The first light emitting unit may further include a first connection unit connecting the lamp unit and the first light emitting unit and adjusting a position of the first light emitting unit. For example, the first connection portion may be rotated around two axes to adjust the position of the first light emitting portion. The lighting unit may further include a second connection unit connecting between the lamp post and the reflection unit and adjusting the position of the reflection unit. For example, the second connection portion may be rotated around two axes to adjust the position of the reflection portion.
The control unit may further include a controller for individually controlling the first and second light emitting units. The controller may operate in conjunction with a traffic light to illuminate the vehicle with a high luminance while the signal lamp is turned on.

The control unit may further include a controller for individually controlling the first and second light emitting units. It is usually used to illuminate only in India, but it is possible to save electric energy by making it possible to illuminate the road as soon as the traffic lights are turned on. In addition, since the driver of the vehicle is aware that the traffic light is turned on when the driver is dimmed toward the road, the occurrence of an accident can be reduced. Meanwhile, the control unit may operate in conjunction with a traffic light to illuminate the vehicle at a high luminance while the signal lamp is turned on. This allows the driver to recognize that there is a pedestrian crossing, and when the traffic lights are turned on, the pedestrian crossing can be clearly seen by setting the elevation of the pedestrian crossing so as to raise the output.
