Abstract

The present invention relates to an automotive speed indicator in which the number of LED light that is turned on of a plurality of LED light disposed on a front roof of the vehicle represents is used to indicate a traveling speed to determine the speed of the vehicle traveling therearound, thereby allowing the user to pay attention to safety when the lane is changed. A controller (12) is connected to a vehicle speed sensor (10) for detecting a traveling speed of the vehicle, and LED lights (L1 to L4) are connected to an output terminal of the controller (12) by using first to fourth relay driving parts (14 to 20) as a medium. Here, the controller (12) may be connected to the LED lights L1 to L4 so that the the numbers of the first to fourth relay driving parts switched according to the size of the vehicle speed signal detected through the vehicle sensor (10) are different from each other to control the number of the LED light that is turned on.

Description

Automotive Speed Indicator {Automotive Speed Indicator}

The present invention relates to an automobile which displays driving speed through the number of LEDs or the like which are lit up among a plurality of LEDs installed on the roof of the front of the automobile, Of the speed indicator.

Generally, in an automobile, various instrument and warning lamps for indicating the driving state of the vehicle are installed on the instrument panel on the front of the driver's seat so that the driver can recognize the driving speed of the vehicle, the number of revolutions of the vehicle, .

A turn signal lamp is provided on the front, rear, right, and left corners of the vehicle body as a signal for informing other vehicles about the change of the own vehicle among the vehicles traveling on the road, and the left turn signal lamp or the right turn The signal lamp is turned on and when the driver operates the emergency light switch installed separately from the turn signal lamp switch, the left and right turn signal lamps are flashed simultaneously to inform the vehicle traveling in the front and rear that an emergency has occurred .

Such a turn signal lamp operation switch is called a normal combination switch and is operated when the driver wishes to change the lane or to change the direction. Therefore, if the driver wishes to change lanes during normal driving, if the turn signal lamp is operated by operating the combination switch and then the lane is changed, the vehicle traveling in the change lane will see the turn signal lamp of the front vehicle, By doing so, we prevent the collision accident.

When changing a lane during driving, it is judged whether or not the vehicle is running from the adjoining rear side of the lane to be changed by looking at the rear through a room mirror installed in the interior of the vehicle or a rearview mirror installed outside, If you do not have a car coming, you can change the lane right away, but if you see a car in the rearview mirror, you will be wondering if you want to change the lane. In other words, it is difficult to judge whether the rear car is coming quickly or slowly due to a room mirror or a rearview mirror. Even if the rear car is running fast, if the lane change is made, the rear car can not secure sufficient deceleration distance or braking distance, There are many cases. This is because it is difficult to instantly judge the speed of the car traveling from the rear of the next lane. In contrast, there is a case where the rear lane is traveling at low speed and it is not possible to change the lane because it is unknown. The present invention is conceived in view of the above circumstances and it is an object of the present invention to provide a display device capable of displaying the traveling speed for each vehicle on the front part of the vehicle, It is possible to determine the running speed of the vehicle to a certain extent only by confirming the running speed display means through the rearview mirror so that it can be easily and quickly checked whether the lane change is safe in comparison with the running speed of the own vehicle The present invention is intended to provide a speed indicator of an automobile which can be provided.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a vehicle speed sensor comprising a plurality of speed display lamps arranged in a line between a front portion of a vehicle, e.g., a left and a right headlamp, And a controller for receiving a sensed vehicle speed signal and changing a connection point of a relay connected to the rear end thereof to transmit a control signal for operating the speed indicating LED according to a vehicle speed signal. The number of LEDs or the like is varied to display the vehicle speed.

The present invention allows a driver of a vehicle traveling from the front to see the number of lamps illuminated when determining the traveling speed of a vehicle traveling from the rear through a rearview mirror or a room mirror.

As described above, in the present invention, a plurality of LEDs or the like are provided to display a vehicle speed on a front surface of a vehicle, and when the lane is to be changed by controlling the lighting of the LEDs according to the detection of vehicle speed during driving, If the LED or the speed indicator of the driving vehicle is checked, the speed of the rear driving vehicle can be determined, so that it is possible to change the lane more safely. And the LEDs of the rear driving vehicle or the speed indicator are checked through the rearview mirror or the room mirror in order to change the lane by controlling the lighting of the LEDs according to the detection of the vehicle speed during driving, So that it is possible to change the lane more safely.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The controller 12 is connected to a vehicle speed sensor 10 that senses the running speed of the vehicle and is connected to the output terminal of the controller 12 via a first to fourth relay driving units 14 to 20 for speed indication LEDs L1 to L4 are connected to the controller 12. The controller 12 controls the number of the first to fourth relay drivers 14 to 20 to be switched according to the magnitude of the vehicle speed signal sensed through the vehicle speed sensor 10, So that the number of lights to be turned on is controlled.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a vehicle speed indicator according to the present invention.

The vehicle speed sensor 10 senses the running speed of the vehicle during driving and sends the detected speed to the controller 12. [

The controller 12 is configured to transmit a control signal for controlling the switching of the first to fourth relay driving units 14 to 20 connected to the rear end thereof in accordance with the data input through the vehicle speed sensor 10 .

In the present invention, since the speed of the vehicle is divided into four levels and displayed, for example, four relay driving parts are connected to the output terminal of the controller 12, and the relay driving parts are connected to the relay driving part for speed indication. To easily understand the operation of the apparatus, and the number of the apparatus may be increased or decreased as needed. The speed indicating LEDs (L1 to L4) connected to the first to fourth relay driving units 14 to 20 are installed on the upper roof of the windscreen as shown in FIG. 2, But may be provided at a position where a driver of a vehicle running in front of the vehicle can easily confirm the vehicle through a room mirror or a rearview mirror.

The controller 12 controls the switching of the relay driving units 14 to 20 so as to control the lighting of the lamps L1 to L4 by turning on the LEDs L1 to L4, do. That is, when it is detected that the vehicle speed is within the range of 0 to 30 Km / h, only the LEDs L1 are turned on, and when it is detected that the vehicle speed is within the range of 30 to 60 km / h, When the vehicle speed is detected to be in the range of 60 to 90 Km / h, the LED lamp L1, the LED lamp L2 and the LED lamp L3 are turned on. When the vehicle speed is 90 Km / h or higher, all four LEDs (L1 to L4) are turned on. Thus, the driver of the vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle can see the number of the LEDs and the like illuminated when judging the traveling speed of the vehicle traveling from the rear through the rearview mirror or the room mirror.
