Description

Warning system of transportation equipment {VEHICLE ALARM SYSTEM}

The description below relates to the alarm system of the transport system.

Accidents caused by driving a vehicle occur frequently. For example, an accident may occur when a vehicle being driven collides with a nearby vehicle or a pedestrian while the driver is not aware of the surrounding situation. In particular, in the case of a person who is not easy to perceive a vehicle, such as a blind person or a child who has to rely only on hearing, the probability of such a contact accident increases. In order to prevent accidents caused by vehicle driving, a technology that can continuously and selectively give warning signals to nearby pedestrians and vehicles is required.

As a way to give warning signals to nearby pedestrians and vehicles, there are cases where an audible warning sound is generated and a case where a visual warning light is sent. The downside is that it is difficult. This is because, after sound is transmitted to the tympanic membrane, the temporal lobe auditory center of the brain perceives 'heard' time is shorter than the occipital lobe visual center perceives 'sees' after light enters the retina. According to this principle, a method of sending a warning signal to nearby pedestrians and vehicles in order to prevent a contact accident may be more effective. As a result, an alarm system capable of notifying the user of the presence of nearby pedestrians and vehicles and sending a warning signal to nearby pedestrians and vehicles through a user's simple manipulation may be required.

The warning system 1 of the transport device may send a warning signal to the vicinity of the transport device. For example, the warning system 1 of the vehicle may be operated by a driver driving the vehicle and send a warning signal to pedestrians and vehicles in the vicinity of the approaching vehicle. The alarm system 1 of the transportation device sends a warning signal to nearby pedestrians and vehicles, thereby preventing contact accidents such as personal injury and vehicle damage due to contact. The alarm system 1 of the transportation device may include a transportation device, an alarm device 11 , a detection device and a monitoring device.

The transport device 10 can transport people and goods. The transport device 10 can be moved on the ground through a motor. The transport device 10 may be operated by a user. For example, the transportation device 10 may include a car, a bicycle, and a motorcycle.

The alarm device 11 is operated by the user and may send a warning signal to the vicinity of the transport device. Specifically, the warning device 11 may receive an operation value related to a motion from a user, and may make a warning sound for pedestrians and vehicles around the transportation device. According to this operation, the alarm device 11 can prevent problems such as personal injury and vehicle damage due to a contact accident by giving attention to nearby pedestrians and vehicles through a warning sound. The alarm device 11 may include a sound unit 110 , an input unit 111 , and a control unit 112 .

The acoustic unit 110 may be installed on the outer surface of the transportation device to send an aural warning signal to pedestrians and vehicles around the transportation device. For example, the acoustic unit 110 may include a speaker. The speaker may generate sound waves by converting the electric signal received from the controller 112 into vibration of the diaphragm. The sound wave generated by the speaker is propagated to pedestrians and vehicles around the transportation device, and may act to alert pedestrians and vehicles to contact accidents.

The transport device 10 may include a reversing light that is turned on while the transport device is moving backward, and the sound unit 110 may be connected to the reversing light to make a warning sound when the reversing light is operated. For example, the sound unit 110 may be connected to the reversing light through an electric wire. According to such a structure, the current signal for turning on the reversing lamp is also transmitted to the acoustic unit 110, so that the acoustic unit 110 can operate integrally with the reversing lamp. As a result, the reversing lamp is turned on while the transportation device is reversing, and the sound unit 110 may send a warning signal according to reversing to pedestrians and vehicles in the rear at the same time.

The input unit 111 may receive an operation value related to the operation of the sound unit 110 from the user. The input unit 111 may be located in the driver's seat inside the transportation device in which the driving user sits. Accordingly, the user may input an operation value to the input unit 111 while driving. The input unit 111 may include a body 1110 , an alarm button member 1111 , a volume button member and a power button member 1113 .

The body 1110 may form an exterior. The body 1110 may include a curved surface on the outer surface. For example, the body 1110 may include a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical shape may have a cylindrical shape with smooth edges. According to such a structure, the input unit 111 may act so that the user can easily grip it. Also, when the user inputs an operation value through the input unit 111 and the user and the input unit 111 collide, the input unit 111 may mitigate damage caused by the collision.

The alarm button member 1111 may control whether the sound unit 110 operates. For example, the alarm button member 1111 is located in the center of the upper surface of the body 1110, an external force by the user may be applied to the alarm button member 1111. The operation conversion information by the external force may be transmitted to the control unit 112 . Since the alarm button member 1111 is located in the center of the upper surface of the body 1110, it can be urgently operated by the user in an emergency such as a contact accident.

The volume control member 1112 may adjust the sound level of the sound unit 110 . An external force may be applied to the volume control member 1112 by a user. The volume control member 1112 may include a plus member 1112a for increasing the sound level of the sound unit 110 and a minus member 1112b for lowering the sound level of the sound unit 110 . The plus member 1112a may be positioned on one side of the alarm button member 1111 , and the minus member 1112b may be positioned on the other side of the alert button member 1111 . Specifically, the minus member 1112b may be located on the other side opposite to one side of the alarm button member 1111 as the center. According to the positions of the plus member 1112a and the minus member 1112b as described above, it is possible to more intuitively recognize the operation flow for the volume control member 1112 to the user.

The power button member 1113 is located on the side of the body 1110 and can control whether the volume control member 1112 and the alarm button member 1111 operate. For example, the power button member 1113 controls whether power is supplied to the volume control member 1112 and the alarm button member 1111, thereby determining whether the volume control member 1112 and the alarm button member 1111 operate. can be adjusted In addition, the power button member 1113 is disposed on the side of the body 1110 to prevent confusion with the volume control member 1112 and the alarm button member 1111.

The control unit 112 may receive operation value information input from the input unit 111 to control the operation of the sound unit 110 . For example, the control unit 112 may convert the motion change information received from the input unit 111 into an electrical signal and transmit it to the acoustic unit 110 . The acoustic unit 110 may generate a sound by operating the diaphragm through an electrical signal received from the control unit 112 .

The control unit 112 may be connected to the sound unit 110 and the input unit 111 through one of a wired method connected through a wire or a wireless communication method connected wirelessly. The wireless communication method may include at least one of an optical sensor method for communicating using light emission and light receiving action and an Internet communication method for communicating using Internet radio waves.

Specifically, after the operation value command by the user's external force is converted into an electric signal by an integrated circuit, the light emitting diode receiving the electric signal emits infrared light, and the light receiving sensor receives the infrared light, so that the control unit 112 is a photosensor method may be connected to the sound unit 110 and the input unit 111 through In addition, the control unit 112 may be connected to the sound unit 110 and the input unit 111 through the Internet communication method using Wi-Fi.

The sensing device may detect pedestrians and vehicles around the vehicle. The sensing device may include a measurement unit and a display unit.

The measuring unit may be installed on the outside of the transport device to measure the distance to pedestrians and vehicles around the transport device. For example, the measuring unit may include an ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor may receive an echo signal in which ultrasonic waves emitted through the transmitter and receiver collide with the object and return, and may calculate the distance to the object based on the time difference.

The measuring unit may be coupled to the acoustic unit 110 and installed outside the transport device. Since the measuring unit is installed in combination with the acoustic unit 110 , the measuring unit can be easily installed integrally with the acoustic unit 110 to increase the efficiency of utilization of the installation space. In addition, an economic effect can be expected by selling the measuring unit and the acoustic unit 110 as one unit.

The sound unit 110 may be set to operate according to the measurement unit by an administrator. Specifically, the sound unit 110 may be connected to the measurement unit by wire, and operation reference information may be input by an administrator. The sound unit 110 may generate a warning signal according to the distance measured by the measurement unit based on the operation reference information set by the manager. That is, when the transportation device and surrounding pedestrians and vehicles come close to each other, the measuring unit measures the distance between them, and when the measured distance meets the operating standard, the acoustic unit 110 may generate a warning signal.

The display unit may visually display the risk level for a collision accident based on the distance measured by the measuring unit. For example, the display unit may receive reference information for the risk level from the manager. The display unit may compare the distance information measured by the measurement unit with reference information for the risk level to emit light according to the level. Accordingly, the warning signal operation of the warning device 11 may be adjusted by the user who has checked the danger level display that is emitted from the display unit.

The monitoring device may photograph the surrounding situation of the transportation device, and may provide the captured surrounding situation information to the user through an image. The monitoring device may include a photographing unit and an imaging unit.

The photographing unit may be installed on the outside of the transportation device to photograph the surroundings of the transportation device. The photographing unit may be coupled to the sound unit 110 and installed on the outside of the transportation device. Since the photographing unit is installed in combination with the sound unit 110 , the photographing unit may be easily installed integrally with the sound unit 110 to increase the efficiency of utilization of the installation space. In addition, an economic effect can be expected by selling the measuring unit and the acoustic unit 110 as one unit.

The imaging unit may provide information about the surrounding situation captured by the photographing unit as an image to the user. The imaging unit may be located in the driver's seat inside the transportation device. Accordingly, the image unit may provide an image of the photographing information captured by the photographing unit to a driver, that is, a user who is driving. As a result, the warning signal of the warning device 11 can be adjusted immediately or selectively by the user who has checked the surrounding conditions through the video unit.
