Description

Lighting Module for Bicycle {Light Module for Bicycle}

The present invention relates to a lighting module for a bicycle, and more particularly, to a lighting module for a bicycle, which can be mounted on a handle bar of a bicycle, and can realize various functions required for front and rear, left and right lighting functions and bicycle travel, by a single module.

Bicycles As the era begins, bicycles are rapidly increasing on the road, and various industries related to bicycles are rapidly developing. In addition, bicycle-related traffic accidents as well as stolen accidents are increasing significantly. Generally, bicycles are equipped with separate connecting devices such as handlebars, forks, and seat posts because they do not have separate lighting devices when traveling at night. As the number of bicycles increases, people who travel long distances with bicycles also increase in number. Frequent bicycles are connected to various bags and water bottles, so lighting, speedometer, tool bag, carrier, water bottle, Various connection brackets are being developed due to lack of available space. In order to couple various devices to a bicycle as described above, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1089190 discloses a stamper device that integrates a stam for connecting a fork and a handle of a bicycle with a lighting device. However, There is a problem that it is difficult to apply to various designs and makers' preferred designs to be performed. Conventional front and back lighting has a problem that it is not possible to prevent a crash caused by turning the bicycle at night or in a tunnel.

FIGS. 2 to 4 are a front view, a rear view, and a side view, respectively, of a lighting module for a bicycle according to the present invention, and the construction and operation principle of the present invention will be described below.

A lighting module for a bicycle includes a front lighting part 11 on the front side, a front direction indication part 12 on both sides of the front side and a guide illumination part 13 on a rim part and a display part 14 and a power button 15 A module frame 10 having a bracket 16 coupled to the center of the bicycle handlebar A at a lower rear side thereof and having a lateral direction indicator 17 on both sides thereof and a handle bar A) a direction indicator switch 20 which is detached from one of both sides of the fork B and a transmitter 30 which incorporates a button battery and is coupled to the fork B, a magnet 40 coupled to the spoke C, The front direction indicator 12 and the lateral direction indicator 17 are selectively turned on and off by the pulse wave propagating from the direction indicating switch 20, And is transmitted through the pulse wave generated in the transmitter 30 A main PCB 50 for displaying the speed of the bicycle on the display unit 14; And a power supply unit (60) having a secondary battery (61) built in the module frame (10) and a charging terminal (62) provided on the module frame (10) Lighting module.

The guide lighting unit 13 is illuminated at all times of the week and night so that the pedestrians and the driver can recognize that there is a bicycle, thus having the same effect as a daytime runnig light (DRL) system of a car. In addition, the front illuminating unit can be configured to grasp the state of the ground using a lattice-patterned laser as well as general illumination. 7 is a view illustrating an operation of the lighting module for a bicycle according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 7, the lateral direction indicator 17 is shown in FIG. 5 before the bicycle driver turns in an arrow- The left direction button 21 and the right direction button 22 of the direction indicating switch 20 are turned on to warn the surrounding pedestrians or the driver of the turning direction in advance so as to prevent an accident caused by the rapid change of direction of the bicycle can do. In addition, the display unit 14 may display cadence, time, temperature, etc., which is the number of times the pedal is depressed per minute as well as the traveling speed of the bicycle, and may be configured to perform a navigation function by incorporating GPS.

Further, the illuminance sensor 18 may be provided on the entire surface of the module frame 10 to change the intensity of illumination depending on the amount of light in the surroundings, thereby realizing a more effective lighting effect. In addition, a camera 19 may be provided on the front surface of the module frame 10 to perform a black box function of the vehicle.

When the speed is rapidly reduced, the main PCB 50 senses the sudden decrease in speed, so that the front direction instructing unit 12 and the side direction instructing unit 17 are configured to be lit simultaneously, thereby providing an effect such as a brake of an automobile.

Referring to FIG. 6, the lighting module for a bicycle according to the present invention is coupled to a bicycle. Referring to FIG. 6, a back lighting unit 70 incorporating a button battery and coupled to a seat post D is provided, Can be additionally configured so as to be blinked. Signals to be transmitted to the main PCB 50 and a signal for blinking the backlight unit 70 on the main PCB 50 are transmitted to the transmission unit 30 and the direction indication switch 20 via the well- A method and means for delivering a signal to the device are applied.

In addition, a memory device is provided in the module frame 10 to store a video image of the camera 19, thereby performing a black box or a camcorder while driving.
