Abstract

It is an electrical component that can monitor the operation and malfunction of the tail lights of the towed vehicle.

Description

Bypass module {by pass module}

The present invention provides a trailer for a car using 12 volt or 24 volt electricity.

It is a device that amplifies the amount of electric flow delivered to the tail lights of the trailer after connection.

Assuming this isn't installed, if your trailer's tail lights fail while driving,

The driver has no way of knowing. If electricity flows through the trailer's tail lights,

If you connect electricity in parallel from an existing vehicle taillight without amplification, the vehicle

Fire and various warning lights may activate. The products described above are already in use.

However, this invention is one step more advanced, and if

If a trailer's tail lights fail, it poses a risk of accidents with vehicles following behind.

About tail lights that break down while driving to prevent this from happening.

It is a device that informs the driver of the presence or absence of a malfunction. Existing cars are required to

There is a device that informs the driver whether the turn signal is operating, but

The driver cannot tell whether the turn signal of the trailer being towed behind is activated.

There wasn't. The goal is to improve this to prevent accidents with rear-end vehicles.

In general, existing bypass modules simply prevent fire or malfunction of the vehicle.

It was a device that amplified the amount of electricity flowing through the tail lights of a trail, but the background of this invention is a device that notifies the driver with a buzzer or lamp when a turn signal light among the tail lights of a trailer breaks down. As described above, the bypass simply amplifies the amount of electricity. The module is intended to improve this as there is no way to notify the driver of a malfunction of the tail light.

In a car, when the driver activates the turn signal, the driver can know whether the turn signal is activated by a buzzer or chime, the same as the turn signal operation time.

And if the turn signal lamp fails, the turn signal buzzer or chime bell operates at a fairly fast speed. Thus, the driver determines whether there is a breakdown and repairs the vehicle.

However, the driver cannot determine whether a camping trailer or industrial trailer is broken.

The present invention aims to improve this. If the turn signal light of the trailer breaks down, the purpose is to prevent accidents with other vehicles following behind by activating a buzzer, chime, and lamp to check whether the turn signal light is operating normally, just like in existing vehicles, to notify the driver of the malfunction and allow repairs. there is.

The bypass module's main purpose is to amplify the electricity flowing through the trailer.

You must monitor whether the amplifying electricity is actually flowing.

The way to check whether electricity is actually flowing in the trailer is to connect the wire connected to the car's taillight lamp to the bypass module in parallel.

The bypass module detects when the turn signal is activated by the driver's will and activates the amplifier of the bypass module to operate the tail lights of the trailer. At this time, if the current flowing in the tail lights of the trailer flows normally to operate the lamp, It notifies the driver audibly or visually and sends a normal signal to notify the driver. If the current flowing through the trailer's tail lights is abnormal, the bypass module detects this as well and notifies the driver by sending an audible or visual abnormal operation signal.

As for the types of signals, 1) when the turn signal light is broken, 2) when the tail light is broken, 3) when the brake light is broken, and 4) when the tail light is broken.

At this time, the warning signal must be different for each.

For example, 1) turn signal lights are designed to fly at the same operating frequency, 2) a failure of a tail light produces a 1HZ signal, 3) a failure signal of a brake light produces a 4HZ signal, and 4) a failure signal of a reversing light produces a 6HZ signal. Provide warning to driver

In case of a malfunction or malfunction of the tail lights of the towed car, the buzzer detects in advance and prevents accidents between the towed car and the car behind it.

In this way, after installing the bypass module as a parallel circuit in the car's tail light circuit, check whether the trailer's tail lights are operating.

At this time, when designing the electronic board inside the bypass current (0.1A~2.5A) flowing through the taillight, logic is added to monitor whether the current flows normally.

If there is no normal current flow, an audible or visual warning is provided to the driver through a speaker built into the bypass module or a wire connected to the outside.

The warning device can be built inside the bypass module or installed externally. The failure of the tail light is determined by detecting the current flowing in the tail light of the trailer by the bypass logic designed in the bypass module. If the current flowing is less than the power consumption of the lamp detected by the logic, it is recognized as a failure and a warning sound is generated. This is the principle.

It allows the driver to know the operating status of the tail lights of the towed car, and thus can prevent accidents with tail lights by repairing problems related to tail light failure.

In general, the existing bypass module was simply a device that amplified the amount of electricity flowing in the tail lights of the trailer to prevent fire or malfunctioning lights of the vehicle, but the background of this invention was to use a buzzer or lamp to alert the driver when a turn signal light among the tail lights of a trailer breaks down. It is a device that notifies. As described above, the bypass module, which simply amplifies the amount of electricity, has no way to notify the driver of a malfunction of the tail light, so this is intended to be improved.

In a car, when the driver activates the turn signal, the driver can know whether the turn signal is activated by a buzzer or chime, the same as the turn signal operation time.

And if the turn signal lamp fails, the turn signal buzzer or chime bell operates at a fairly fast speed. Thus, the driver determines whether there is a breakdown and repairs the vehicle.
