First, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 , the basic configuration of the vehicle detecting line guide rod (hereinafter, referred to as a 'gaze guide rod') according to the present invention will be described.

The present inventor's line of sight guide rod (TM) is a traffic facility installed to perform roles such as prevention of central line invasion, night lane identification, illegal U-turn prevention and illegal parking and stopping, and is largely composed of a cradle 10 and a guide body 20. can be configured.

The cradle 10 may be fixedly coupled to the floor of the place to be installed through a fixing means such as an anchor bolt.

The guide body 20 may be coupled to the upper center of the holder 10 . The guide body 20 may be formed in the upper vertical direction of the holder 10. The guide body 20 is provided with a plurality of reflectors (reference numerals not shown) for reflecting light, and each reflector may be spaced apart from each other. At this time, the guide body 20 may be formed of at least a plurality of prefabricated bodies (21). The prefabricated bodies 21 may be coupled to each other in a block fashion, and the coupling method between the prefabricated bodies 21 may refer to a method of combining prefabricated Lego blocks. That is, although not shown in detail, at least one coupling protrusion (reference numeral not shown) is formed on the upper part of the prefabricated body 21, and a coupling hole corresponding to the position and size of the coupling protrusion (not shown) is formed in the lower part of the prefabricated body 21. ) can be formed. In addition, the cradle 10 and the guide body 20 can also be coupled in a block fashion, and the coupling protrusions (reference numerals not shown) are formed on the top of the guide body 20 to be fastened with the prefabricated body 21. there is. Each of the prefabricated bodies 21 may be manufactured to have the same vertical length or to have different lengths. In addition, although not shown, the holder 10 may be manufactured in a form in which one prefabricated body 21 is integrally coupled.

On the other hand, as described above, the bonding strength of each part coupled in a block fashion should be set in consideration of the environment of the place where it is installed, and, for example, environmental factors such as rain and wind (including wind generated as vehicles pass by). It is possible to set and manufacture the bonding force in consideration of the like. In addition to the above environmental factors, the binding force may be set so as not to be easily separated even by a physical impact that may generally occur.

As described above, by configuring the guide body 20 as a prefabricated body 21, the guide body 20 is damaged by physical impact from the outside such as a car to solve the problem of replacing the entire line of sight induction rod TM. can That is, since the guide body 20 is not an integrally fixed type as in the prior art, but the prefabricated body 21 is separated when a physical impact by a vehicle or the like occurs, only parts damaged by physical impact by a vehicle or the like can be replaced and used.

In addition, although FIG. 2 shows a state in which three prefabricated bodies 21 are configured, the total height of the guide body 20 may be configured differently according to the number of fastenings of the prefabricated bodies 21.

In addition, the guide body 20 may further include a vehicle detection sensor 22 and a warning light speaker 30 .

The vehicle detection sensor 22 detects a vehicle entering within a certain distance, and may be configured by applying one or more various known sensors, and may be applied by changing the type of sensor according to the set distance. Meanwhile, a vehicle may be understood to refer to all objects that can be moved using electricity or fuel, including a bicycle or a motorcycle as well as a general automobile. The vehicle detection sensor 22 may be configured in the guide body 20 or configured in the warning light speaker 30 to be described later. In the drawing, it is shown in a state where the vehicle detection sensor 22 is configured on the top of the warning light speaker 30.

In addition, a warning light speaker 30 may be further coupled to the upper portion of the guide body 20 . The warning light speaker 30 may display a vehicle entry state based on information sensed through the vehicle detection sensor 22 . At this time, the coupling method between the guide body 20 and the warning light speaker 30 may be configured by the above-described block coupling method or a coupling method by a female thread and a male thread. The vehicle entry state may be understood as information such as whether or not the vehicle has entered, the direction in which the vehicle is moving, and the speed of the vehicle.

3 and 4, the warning light speaker 30 applied to the present invention includes a body 31, a communication unit 32, a processing unit 33, a lighting unit 34, a speaker 35, and a power supply unit 36 It can be configured to include.

The body 31 is a part forming the basic skeleton of the warning light speaker 30 and can be manufactured in various shapes, for example, can be manufactured in a cylindrical shape. The body 31 may be made of a metal material, a synthetic resin material, or a metal and synthetic resin material.

The communication unit 32 is provided in the warning light speaker 30, and the communication unit 32 provided in one warning light speaker 30 is connected to the communication unit 32 provided in the other warning light speaker 30 and the vehicle detection sensor. It shares the information sensed through (22). That is, the communication unit 32 is provided for each line of sight induction rod (TM), and when a plurality of line of sight induction rods (TM) are installed in a certain place, each line of sight induction rod (TM) is connected to each other through the communication unit (32). .

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when a plurality of gaze guide rods (TM) are installed, each gaze guide rod (TM) shares vehicle entry state information through the communication unit 32, and the set order or first vehicle entry It is possible to operate the warning light speakers 30 in the order of proximity to the gaze guide rods TM that sensed the state information, or to operate the warning light speakers 30 provided on the plurality of cadaver guide rods TM to operate simultaneously. When the warning light speakers 30 provided on the plurality of gaze guide rods TM operate simultaneously or sequentially, the recognition effect of people around can be increased.

Although the communication units 32 can perform wired and wireless communication under a network environment, it is preferable to configure them to perform wireless communication in order to utilize characteristics applicable to various spaces. Wireless communication can be configured to perform known short-range communication.

For short range communication, Bluetooth™, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), ZigBee, Near Field Communication (NFC), Wi-Fi At least one of Fi (Wireless-Fidelity), Wi-Fi Direct, and Wireless USB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus) technologies may be used.

The processing unit 33 detects vehicle entry state information through the communication unit 32, and transmits the detected information to the communication unit 32 provided in other gaze guidance rods TM located in the vicinity.

In addition, the processing unit 33 generates a lighting operation signal corresponding to the received vehicle entry state information and transmits it to the lighting unit 34 to be described later. In addition, the processing unit 33 generates a voice conversion signal for converting a message corresponding to the received vehicle entry state information into sound and transmits it to a speaker to be described later.

The lighting unit 34 may be located above the body 31 . For example, the lighting unit 34 may use a three-color LED composed of red, yellow, and green. The lighting unit 34 emits light according to the lighting unit operation signal transmitted from the processing unit 33 . The light emitting state of the lighting unit 34 can be set in advance, and the setting state can be changed according to circumstances. For example, in the case of an intention signal containing the message "There is no vehicle entering", a green LED is turned on, and in the case of an intention signal containing the message "a vehicle is entering", a yellow LED is turned on, and a "vehicle In the case of an intention signal containing the message “This is approaching (or speeding)”, the red LED is turned on, and in the case of the intention signal containing the urgent message “This is an emergency”, the red LED can be set to blink. . Or, "This is an emergency." If you set the red LED to blink in response to an emergency message and think that people's awareness is low, "This is an emergency." In response to the emergency message, all three-color LEDs may be turned on or the three-color LEDs may be set to flicker sequentially.

The speaker 35 may be located on the lower part of the body 31 . At this time, the lighting unit 34 and the speaker 35 may be composed of one body 31 or may have a structure in which they are coupled in a male-female coupling method. In the case of the male and female coupling method, a male screw line may be formed on the upper outer circumference of the speaker 35 and a female screw line corresponding to the male screw line may be formed on the lower inner circumference of the lighting unit 34 to be fastened.

According to the voice conversion signal transmitted from the processing unit 33 through the speaker 35, the message contained in the intention display signal, that is, "There is no vehicle entering", "The vehicle is entering", "The vehicle is approaching ( or speeding)", "This is an emergency." The message is converted into sound and output.

The power supply unit 36 is installed on the body 31 to supply power to the communication unit 32, the processing unit 33, the lighting unit 34 and the speaker 35. The power unit 36 may be configured to operate by receiving commercial power, operate through the photovoltaic power generation means 50 as shown in FIG. 5, or operate by receiving power through a separate built-in battery (not shown), , It may be possible to apply a mixture of each of the above methods.

For example, when the warning light speaker 30 is installed inside a building, it may be preferable to configure it to operate by receiving commercial power rather than the photovoltaic power generating means 50. In addition, when installed outdoors, it can be configured to use electricity generated through the photovoltaic power generating means 50 and store and use surplus electricity. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a solar panel is formed on the circumferential surface of the guide body 20, and a storage unit (not shown) for storing electricity generated through this can be installed inside the guide body 20. . The warning light speaker 30 and the storage unit built into the guide body 20 are electrically connected to each other. In addition, since the photovoltaic power generation means 50 does not operate in rainy and cloudy weather, a separate battery (not shown) installed in the body 31 or the guide body 20 is used when the photovoltaic power generation means 50 is not in operation. It can also be configured to supply power through In this case, the separate battery may be configured so that power supply is cut off at normal times, and then power is supplied when the photovoltaic power generation means 50 is not in operation or is not in use. On the other hand, in the drawing, only the solar panel is shown as reference number '50', and although the solar panel cannot represent the entire solar power generation means, it is to be understood as a solar power generation means for convenience.

That is, the protective cap 40 may be made of a flexible or rigid transparent synthetic resin material that surrounds the support 10 and the guide body 20 or surrounds the support 10, the guide body 20 and the warning light speaker 30. can

The protective cap 40 may be manufactured to correspond to the shape of the gaze induction rod TM, for example, the lower part of the protective cap 40 is manufactured to correspond to the size and shape of the holder 10, and the protective cap 40 The upper part of the guide body 20 can be made larger in consideration of the height and diameter. Of course, the protective cap 40 may be formed in a size corresponding to the gaze induction rod TM so that the protective cap 40 is tightly coupled to the gaze induction rod TM.

The protection cap 40 is integrally formed, and the lower portion of the protection cap 40 can be fixed together with the holder 10 by anchor bolts fixing the holder 10 .

Through the protection cap 40, a physical shock from the outside can be somewhat alleviated and transmitted to the gaze induction rod TM, and theft of the gaze induction rod TM can be prevented at ordinary times. In addition, when the guide body 20 is separated by a physical impact applied to the line of sight induction bar TM, the guide body 20 may be separated from the inside of the protective cap 40 to be protected. In addition, through the protective cap 40, it is also possible to prevent the gaze induction rod (TM) from being contaminated.

On the other hand, a plurality of speaker holes 41 may be formed in the protective cap 40 corresponding to the position of the speaker 35 so that the sound output through the speaker 35 provided in the warning light speaker 30 is transmitted to the outside. there is.
