Description

DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR TRAVEL COURSE OF A BICYCLE [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a traveling display device for a bicycle, and more particularly, to a traveling display device for a bicycle, which can enhance visibility of nighttime bicycle occupants and prevent accidents,

Global warming has been a growing problem for the last 20 years. And nowadays, the environment is one of the top priorities as the human life and economic losses caused by the weather changes have become severe for many years. Thus, countries around the world have adopted a reduction in carbon emissions as a national task, and various policies are being implemented, such as the use of factories and power plants, and the retrofitting of facilities.

The bicycle population growth policy is one of the most important policies. Bicycles are means of transportation that are culturally and politically encouraged in most European countries as pollution-free means of transport. However, in the Republic of Korea and in some countries, bicycle roads are in short supply, and bicycles are used only on the roads because bicycles are legally treated like cars, The risk of a safety accident becomes very high.

At the present time, when the bicycle is driving, a lamp such as a headlight is turned on to allow the user who is riding on the bicycle to check the state of the road, and to send a signal to a person or a vehicle who walks in front.

In recent years, people are moving more and more using bicycles instead of cars in an age of emphasizing well-being. In accordance with this tendency, there are increasingly developed techniques for driving the bicycle more safely. For example, when the vehicle is stopped, an indicator lamp is turned on to inform the front or rear person or vehicle that the stop lamp is turned on to send a signal to the rear or to change the direction to the left or right when the bicycle travel direction is changed .

Currently, the most common form of bicycle traffic accidents in Korea is an accident between a car and a bicycle. Of these, the incidence of deaths was the highest in winter, and 6 to 8 in the evening and 4 to 8 in the morning . This can be interpreted as the difficulty in identifying the cyclist in the dark or when the bicycle rides. In addition, since a large vehicle such as a heavy truck or construction equipment can not identify a bicycle occupant, the accident is particularly likely to cause death, so that the visibility of a bicycle occupant must be improved. As a similar aspect, I can not see the bicycle that I was going to see, and I can see that the accident has a high proportion of deaths in particular. And the most frequent accident is that I do not see the bike passing across the front, and I am a side angle crash, accounting for more than 50% of all accidents. Especially, the higher the probability of accidents on medium - sized roads where cars and bicycles are forced to travel together, the higher the number of deaths. In addition to this, it can be seen that the accident is most dangerous because the accident probability at the intersection is highest and the proportion of the fatal accident is highest, so that the driver can not preview the bicycle rider or predict the direction of the bicycle rider.

One example of the technique for solving such a problem is described in Documents 1 and 2 below.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the following patent document 1 discloses a bicycle which is mounted on one or both sides of a bicycle handle, which is a fixed body, and which is connected to the first and second wire signals or first and second wireless signals (10) for selectively outputting the first and second wire signals or the first and second wireless signals from the traveling direction signal transmitting unit And a traveling direction display section (20) for displaying a traveling direction by repeating lighting and extinguishing. The traveling direction display section (20) comprises a light emitting section composed of a bulb or an LED, and the traveling direction signal transmitting section Discloses a traveling direction display apparatus for a bicycle in which one or both directions of the bicycle traveling direction are displayed in a single display unit with figures or letters.

Patent Document 2 discloses a process of setting the brightness level of the traveling indicator light to be gradually increased when the bicycle traveling speed is increased and setting the brightness level of the braking indicator to be gradually increased when the traveling speed is decelerated, Determining whether the vehicle is in a running state using a speed, checking a brightness level of a driving indicator that is set in advance according to the measured traveling speed, and lighting a traveling indicator at the identified brightness level, A method of controlling a bicycle traveling state display including a process of increasingly brightening the brightness of the traveling direction indicator when the speed is increased is disclosed.

Korean Patent Publication No. 2012-0132845 (published Dec. 12, 2012) Korean Patent Publication No. 2011-0006501 (published on Jan. 20, 2011)

However, there is a problem that it is difficult to identify a passenger on a bicycle, such as a bicycle being mistaken for a simple road sign, because the light emitting area is narrow when an LED lamp is used as in the conventional technique as described above.

In addition, when the LED or the retroreflective tape is used in the conventional technique as described above, the angle of illumination is limited to about 120 degrees at maximum, the angle at which visibility is good is narrow at about 30 degrees, Respectively. Therefore, I could not see the cyclist in a high vehicle or a staggered car, and I had many accidents and a high proportion of deaths.

Also, bicycles did not have a way to notify other vehicles on the road, unlike cars. Therefore, it was necessary to take a great risk when the bicycle was traveling, turning to the right or turning left, and there was a collision with the vehicle that could not sense the direction of the bicycle rider.

On the other hand, in the case of the safety product line in which the luminescent fiber technology is most actively applied, the reflection plate using the reflex reflection is used at present. However, since the reflection plate is a passive material to be lighted, Even with the use of search lights, there were many difficulties in the situation of conflicting views due to limitations that only partially illuminate.

An object of the present invention is to provide a traveling display device for a bicycle which is capable of enhancing the visibility of nighttime bicycle occupants and preventing an accident at the rear and side portions of the bicycle occupant by combining the light emitting fiber technology .

Another object of the present invention is to provide a traveling display device for a bicycle in which a bicycle occupant can be informed of a traveling direction, that is, a left or right turning direction, such as a car.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a traveling display device for a bicycle in which a bicycle occupant can easily manipulate the traveling direction of the bicycle.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a traveling display apparatus for a bicycle which displays a traveling direction of a bicycle in a rear direction of a bicycle when the occupant of the bicycle makes a left turn or a right turn during a bicycle traveling process , A recognition member for indicating the running direction of the bicycle in a helmet, a glove, a vest garment, a bag, a shoe or pants, and a control member for controlling the display state of the recognition member.

Further, in the traveling display device for a bicycle according to the present invention, the recognition member may include a traveling direction display part provided on a helmet, a glove, a vest apparel, a bag, a shoe or pants, and a receiver for receiving a signal transmitted from the control member, The traveling direction display unit may include a light emitting fiber unit separately provided in a left portion and a right portion of a helmet, a glove, a vest apparel, a bag, shoes, or pants, an LED light source for giving a light emitting function to the light emitting fiber unit, And a power supply unit.

In the traveling display device for a bicycle according to the present invention, the control member may include a control portion provided in a handle portion or a glove of the bicycle and a transmitting portion transmitting a direction indicating signal to the receiving portion according to a control state of the control portion, And the transmitting unit is executed by RFID communication or Zigbee communication.

In the traveling display device for a bicycle according to the present invention, the control section controls the left or right portion of the light emitting fiber section to emit light in response to a left turn or a right turn of the bicycle.

Further, in the traveling display device for a bicycle according to the present invention, the light emitting fiber part may be any one of the helmet, the glove, the vest clothing, the bag, the shoe or the pants by any one of the piping technique, the embroidery technique, As shown in FIG.

As described above, according to the bicycle travel display device of the present invention, a wide area illuminant for securing visibility at night is used, and the recognition function-enhancing wireless luminescent fiber is applied to a bicycle occupant to wear helmets, gloves, When you want to carry out directional guidance on the bag, you can easily recognize the function and send it by hand or wirelessly. It can display the driving direction of the bicycle with the luminescent fiber to ensure safe operation, - The effect of making a win structure is obtained.

In addition, according to the bicycle traveling display device of the present invention, since the safety for the bicycle commuting route is secured rather than the bicycle culture for the simple leisure bicycle, the amount of carbon emission is reduced by the increase of the population using the bicycle instead of the automobile. Accordingly, the number of vehicles to be operated is reduced, so that the traffic congestion in the commuting traffic is significantly reduced, and the amount of carbon monoxide emitted due to the idling of the slowing automobile can be drastically reduced.

In addition to the indirect effects of contributing to the formation of a bicycle culture, the social cost of bicycle accidents can be reduced by lowering the accident rate of the cyclist directly.
