Abstract
A pedestrian crossing illuminator is disclosed that allows pedestrians to cross-walk by intensively illuminating a pedestrian cross to be easily identified, and indirect lighting using a reflector is used to avoid direct dimming of pedestrians.
The present invention relates to a lighting system comprising a light emitting unit extending from a lamppole toward a road and arranged to emit light at an upper portion thereof, an arc-shaped reflection unit arranged at an upper end of the light emitting unit, In order to allow the driver of the vehicle to recognize the pedestrian's watch even when the driver of the vehicle is in a bad clock or when approaching a high speed driving, To provide a crosswalk illumination device.
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 [0006] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a pedestrian crossing illuminating device that allows easy identification of a pedestrian crossing a pedestrian by intensively illuminating a pedestrian crossing, and indirect lighting by using a reflector, .
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a crosswalk lighting apparatus including: a light emitting unit extending from a lamppole to a road and arranged to emit light upward; And an arc-shaped reflector disposed at an upper end of the light-emitting portion and indirectly dimming the light by reflecting the light.
The light emitting unit includes a first light emitting unit arranged to be horizontal with respect to the ground; And a second light emitting unit rotatably coupled to one end of the first light emitting unit. At this time, the output of the first light emitting unit may be larger than the output of the second light emitting unit. The lens emission angle of the first light emitting unit may be greater than the LED emission angle of the second light emitting unit.
The reflector may have a shape in which two arc-shaped reflectors are connected. The reflector is installed to have a predetermined angle with respect to the ground, and receives the light of the light emitting unit to reflect the light toward the lead side and the road side. For example, the reflector is formed in an arc shape having a radius of 100 to 180 mm, and is installed so as to be rotated by 10 to 15 degrees with respect to the ground, and the interval between the light emitting portion and the reflector is 300 mm ≪ / RTI >
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 can be felt by the pedestrian, and the angle of the reflector, which is rotatably installed, And a design change can be facilitated so as to have a 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.
