Description

Shoulder-mounted warning light that can be transformed into a warning light stick {PATROL LIGHT CAPABLE OF REPLACE BY STICK TYPE}

The present invention relates to a warning light, and more specifically, in simple patrols or situations where both hands must be used freely, it is compact in size and attached to both shoulders of clothing to be used in the form of a luminescent epaulette, and can be used in emergency situations or in situations where both hands must be used freely. In situations where it is necessary to transmit hand signals, the separate components attached to the left and right shoulders are jointed into one, and the length is extended to form a linearly long light emitting area, creating a rod-shaped structure that is convenient to operate by hand. This relates to a warning light that allows for modified use of existing light sticks to transmit hand signals.

A general light stick is called by various names such as a guide stick and a signal stick, and is used as an important medium to notify of danger at night. It consists of a handle with a built-in power source and a light emitting part that is connected to the handle and emits light by lighting. It is configured, and in particular, the light emitting part is structured to be inserted into a cylindrical light tube having a certain length.

These light sticks are a means for the user to make the other party understand the signals of various situations such as stop signals, danger signals, direction change signals, etc. by waving the light stick by hand, and are mainly used by police officers, firefighters, and receivers at construction sites. It is mainly used.

Meanwhile, recently, a technology has been proposed that can transmit signals to the outside without having to manipulate the light stick directly by hand by miniaturizing the structure of the light stick and attaching it to clothing or the body. For example, registered utility model No. 20-0490627 (Removable warning light, hereinafter referred to as prior art) is briefly introduced as follows.

The prior art consists of an upper light-emitting part and a lower fixing tong, and the light-emitting part is installed to be rotatable relative to the fixing tong so that its position can be adjusted in the front-to-back or lateral direction. Not only can it be easily worn, but it is also characterized by the fact that the light emitting part rotates and is fixed in the rotated position based on the fixing clip, so that the irradiation direction of the lighting and warning lights can be adjusted.

However, clothing-worn warning lights such as the above-described prior art do not have a sufficient light emitting area due to the miniaturized structure due to the characteristics of the use structure, so there is a limit to the transmission of clear hand signals in emergency situations or situations where more intuitive signals are required. There was a problem that the range of use was extremely limited in that it was difficult to expect the same effect as a bong.

The warning light according to the present invention is used in the form of a luminous epaulette that emits light toward the outside while attached to the left and right shoulders of clothing, as shown in Figure 1, or is attached to the left and right shoulders, respectively, as shown in Figure 2. By joining the separate structures in a shoulder-attached state into one, the light emitting area is configured to be linear and long, and it has a rod-shaped structure that is convenient to operate by hand, so that it can be used by appropriately modifying the shape to transmit hand signals using the existing light stick. There is a characteristic in making it possible. In other words, in simple patrols or situations that require the free use of both hands, it is used by fixing it to both shoulders or any part of the clothing, and in emergency situations or situations that require clearer hand signals to be transmitted, it is appropriately modified into the form of a light stick and used manually. Make this possible.

For this purpose, the warning light according to the present invention can be largely defined as including a light emitting part 10 and a connecting part 20.

First, the light emitting units 10 are composed of a plurality of pairs, at least two sets, which can be disassembled so as to be attached to the left and right shoulders respectively, or can be jointed together to have a long rod-shaped structure in the longitudinal direction, and emit light to the outside. It is prepared to emit light.

Each light emitting unit 10 can output light toward the front, back, and top, and the light output direction can be appropriately controlled according to the shape of the warning light, and a related description will be provided later.

Since each light emitting unit 10 may have the same structure, the description of one light emitting unit 10 will be given below.

The light emitting unit 10 is largely composed of a first light emitting member 100 with a coupling space 110 formed inside, and moves back and forth in a straight line within the coupling space 110 to selectively move toward the outside of the first light emitting member 100. It may be illustrated as including a second light-emitting member 200 that is provided to be able to appear and a control unit 300 that controls the supply and operation of power to the first light-emitting member 100 and the second light-emitting member 200. there is.

Both the first light emitting member 100 and the second light emitting member 200 are each provided to output light. At this time, the second light emitting member 200 can be inserted and accommodated in the coupling space 110, which is the internal space of the first light emitting member 100, and can be selectively exposed to the outside, so that the light emitting unit 10 can be used as necessary. It makes it possible to extend the length of .

For example, when used in the form of an epaulette as shown in FIG. 1, the second light-emitting member 200 is completely stored inside the first light-emitting member 100 to have a compact and miniaturized structure, and As shown, when used in the form of a light stick, the second light-emitting member 200 is ejected from the first light-emitting member 100 to extend the length of the light-emitting part 10, so that the light-emitting area can be configured as close to linear as possible.

In the following description, the state in which the second light-emitting member 200 is inserted into the coupling space 110, which is the internal space of the first light-emitting member 100, as shown in FIG. 3, is referred to as the first coupling state, and is shown in FIG. 4. As described above, the state in which the second light-emitting member 200 is discharged from the first light-emitting member 100 and exposed to the outside is referred to as the second coupled state.

More specifically, the first light emitting member 100 may be illustrated as including a first housing 120 and a first light emitting module 130.

The first housing 120 constitutes the overall exterior of the first light emitting member 100, and has a cylindrical structure with one side open, forming the coupling space 110 inside.

The first housing 120 may be injection molded using a light-transmissive material, for example, a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, in a way that allows light from the first light-emitting module 130 installed therein to be transmitted to the outside.

Although not shown, serrations may be formed along the longitudinal direction on the inner surface of the first housing 120 to have a structure that diffuses or diffuses the light output from the first light emitting module 130.

A first locking protrusion 121 and a second locking protrusion 122 may be formed to protrude on one end inner surface and the other end inner surface of the first housing 120, respectively, and the first locking protrusion 121 and the second locking protrusion 122 may be formed to protrude, respectively. The second light emitting member 200 is supported by the locking protrusion 122 so that the position of the second light emitting member 200 can be fixed.

The first light emitting module 130 has a structure that can simultaneously or selectively output light toward the top and front depending on the first and second combination states when fixedly installed inside the first housing 120.

For this purpose, the first light emitting module 130 is fixed to the inner surface of the other end of the first housing 120, extends long to the left and right, and is bent in an 'ㄱ' shape to form an upper surface of the first housing 120 and the upper surface of the first housing 120. A first support board 131 having a parallel first horizontal surface 131a and a first vertical surface 131b parallel to the front of the first housing 120, the first horizontal surface 131a of the first support board 131 ) and a first LED chip array 132 that outputs light in an upward direction and a first LED chip array 132 that is installed on the first vertical surface 131b of the first support board 131 and outputs light in a forward direction. It may be illustrated as including 2 LED chip arrays 133.

The first LED chip array 132 and the second LED chip array 133 may perform a blinking operation under the control of the control unit 300.

The first support board 131 supports the first LED chip array 132 and the second LED chip array 133 so that power can be supplied to each chip array 132 and 133, and also provides a coupling space ( 110) so that it can be disposed biased toward the front to prevent interference with the second light-emitting member 200, which will be described later, to secure a space for the control unit 300 to be installed between the second light-emitting member 200. make it possible

The end of the first support board 131 is fixed to the inner surface of the first housing 120, so it is not linked to the withdrawal operation of the second light emitting member 200 and can be fixed in position within the coupling space 110. there is.

The first LED chip array 132 and the second LED chip array 133 are supported on the first horizontal surface 131a and the first vertical surface 131b of the first support board 131, respectively, in directions perpendicular to each other, For example, light can be output separately toward the top and front.

Next, the second light emitting member 200 has a structure generally similar to the above-described first light emitting member 100, but differs in that it can be selectively extracted from the first light emitting member 100.

For example, the second light emitting member 200 is made of the same light-transmitting material as the first housing 120 and has a cylindrical structure with the other side open, so that it is accommodated in the coupling space 110 and forms a straight line within the coupling space 110. It may be illustrated as including a second housing 220 capable of reciprocating movement and a second light emitting module 230 fixedly installed inside the second housing 220.

The second housing 220 may have a coupling space 210 formed therein in the same manner as the first housing 120, and in this case, the coupling space 210 of the second housing 220 is the same as that of the first housing 120. It may be in communication with the coupling space 110.

The second housing 220 may be made of the same transparent or translucent material as the first housing 120, but in some cases, the entire first housing 120 and the second housing 220 are not transparent or translucent. , it is revealed that only localized areas may have a structure that allows light to pass through.

The second housing 220 has a structure that is offset inward from the first housing 120 by a certain distance to enable it to fit inside the first housing 120.

On the outer surface of the other end of the second housing 220, there is a locking groove 221 that allows at least one of the first locking protrusion 121 and the second locking protrusion 122 formed on the first housing 120 to be inserted and locked. ) can be formed.

Accordingly, when the second light-emitting member 200 is completely inserted into the coupling space 110, which is the inner space of the first light-emitting member 100, and the second locking protrusion 122 is inserted into the locking groove 221, the second light-emitting member ( Since the position of 200 is fixed, the first coupled state can be maintained unless the second light-emitting member 200 is forcibly manipulated, and conversely, the second light-emitting member 200 is connected to the first light-emitting member 100. When the first locking protrusion 121 is inserted into the locking groove 221 due to being discharged from and exposed to the outside, the second coupled state can be maintained, and further, the second light emitting member 200 is connected to the first light emitting member 100. ) has a structure that does not completely decompose.

It is revealed that the number of specific positions of the first locking protrusion 121, the second locking protrusion 122, the locking groove 221, etc. can be appropriately modified depending on the situation.

The second light emitting module 230 has a structure that can simultaneously or selectively output light toward the top and rear depending on the first and second combination states when fixedly installed inside the second housing 220.

To this end, the second light emitting module 230 is fixed to one end of the inner surface of the second housing 220, extends long to the left and right, and is bent into an 'ㄱ' shape symmetrical front and rear with the first support board 131. A second support board 231 having a second horizontal surface 231a parallel to the upper surface of the second housing 220 and a second vertical surface 231b parallel to the rear surface of the second housing 220, the second support board 231 A third LED chip array 232 is installed on the second horizontal surface 231a of the support board 231 and outputs light in an upward direction, and is installed on the second vertical surface 231b of the second support board 231. a fourth LED chip array 233 that outputs light in a rearward direction, and a fifth LED chip that is installed on the second horizontal surface 231a of the second support board 231 and outputs light in a downward direction. It may be illustrated as including an array 234.

The third LED chip array 232, the fourth LED chip array 233, and the fifth LED chip array 234 may perform a blinking operation under the control of the control unit 300.

The second support board 231 supports the third LED chip array 232, the fourth LED chip array 233, and the fifth LED chip array 234, and supplies power to each of the chip arrays 232, 233, and 234. and can be disposed biased toward the rear within the coupling space 210 to prevent interference with the first light-emitting member 100, so that the control unit 300 is positioned between the first light-emitting member 100 and the first light-emitting member 100. Ensure that space is secured for installation.

In particular, both the first support board 131 and the second support board 231 can be spaced a certain distance away from the inner surfaces (top, bottom, front, and rear) of the first housing 120 and the second housing 220. there is.

The end of the second support board 231 is fixed to the inner surface of the second housing 220 and can move together in conjunction with the withdrawal operation of the second light emitting member 200.

The third LED chip array 232 and the fourth LED chip array 233 are supported on the second horizontal surface 231a and the second vertical surface 231b of the second support board 231, respectively, in directions perpendicular to each other, For example, light can be output separately toward the top and rear.

The fifth LED chip array 234 may output light in a downward direction that is opposite to the light output direction of the third LED chip array 232.

Accordingly, the second light emitting member 200 has a structure capable of outputting light toward at least the top, bottom, and rear.

Next, the control unit 300 can be fixedly installed in the right place in the coupling space 110 of the first housing 120, and is electrically connected to the first light emitting module 130 and the second light emitting module 230, respectively, to provide power. Supply and flashing control can be performed.

The control unit 300 may include a board electrically connected to a battery, a first light emitting module 130, a second light emitting module 230, etc., and the board includes a resistor, a capacitor, a battery, a power button, a control button, etc. These can be combined in various ways.

In particular, the power button and the control button are exposed to the outside of the first light-emitting member 100 or the second light-emitting member 200 to enable user operation. At this time, the power button turns the power on and off, and the control button turns the power on and off. The blinking mode of the first light emitting module 130 and the second light emitting module 230 can be changed.

Meanwhile, in the first combined state of the light emitting units 10, each light emitting unit 10 can be used by being attached to the user's left and right shoulder areas in a disassembled state. In this case, when light is output upward, the user's Due to the structure in which people located in the front and rear directions are not directly exposed to the light output upward, not only is the effect minimal, but there is also a problem in that the light is output directly toward the user's left and right faces, causing difficulties during use. Bar, in accordance with the operation of the control button in the use state according to this first combination state, the control unit 300 turns on the second LED chip array 133 and the fourth LED chip array 233, which output light in the front and back directions. and control the blinking operation of the first light-emitting module 130 and the second light-emitting module 230 so that the first LED chip array 132 and the third LED chip array 232, which output light upward, are turned off. You can.

Accordingly, not only can power consumption efficiency be increased by eliminating unnecessary power use, but convenience of use can also be improved.

Conversely, in the second coupled state of the light emitting unit 10, the second light emitting member 200 extends from the first light emitting member 100, thereby increasing the length of the light emitting unit 10. In particular, each of the long extending When the light emitting units 10 are jointed together and used in the form of a long light rod in the longitudinal direction, the control unit 300 uses the first light emitting member 100 and the second light emitting member so that light can be emitted in the widest possible area. The blinking operation can be controlled so that all of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth LED chip arrays (132, 133, 232, 233, and 234) of the member 200 are lit.

Meanwhile, the first, second, third, fourth and fifth LED chip arrays (132, 133, 232, 233, and 234) are provided to output light of various colors so that colors suitable for each occupation of the user can be output. For example, the colors of light output from the first light-emitting module 100 and the second light-emitting module 200 can be implemented as red and blue for police officers, orange for firefighters, and green for soldiers. In addition, in the second combined state, all red lights can be controlled to be output.

Next, the connecting portion 20 is formed at the end of the first light emitting member 100 and serves to enable the adjacent light emitting portions 10 to be detachably coupled to each other.

For example, the connecting portion 20 may be made of permanent magnets of different polarities so that each light emitting portion 10 is detachably coupled to each other by magnetic force.

For example, the N-pole permanent magnet plate 21 is fixed to the other end of the first housing 120 of the one-side light emitting unit 10, and the S-pole is fixed to the other end of the first housing 120 of the other one-side light emitting unit 10. The connection part 20 can be implemented by fixing the permanent magnet plate 22, and the other ends of each light emitting part 10 are jointed together, so that the light emitting area is twice as long as when only a single light emitting part 10 is used. so that it can be formed.

When it is desired to use each of the light emitting units 10 that are jointed together on the shoulder, the light emitting units 10 that are jointed together can be easily separated by forcibly separating the permanent magnet plates 21 and 22 from each other.

As another example of the connection part 20, the connection part 20 includes a connection groove 21 recessed to a certain depth on the other side of the first housing 120 of the one-side light emitting unit 10, as shown in FIG. 11, and another corresponding thereto. It may be illustrated as including a connecting protrusion 22 that protrudes from the other side of the first housing 120 of the one-sided light emitting unit 10 and is inserted and coupled to the connecting groove 21.

At this time, the connecting groove 21 may be formed completely open in the forward and backward or up and down directions so that the connecting protrusion 22 can be detachably coupled to the connecting groove 21 in a slide manner, and the connecting protrusion 22 To prevent the coupled connecting protrusion 22 from falling out arbitrarily in directions other than the sliding direction, the connecting protrusion 22 and the connecting groove 21 are provided with a structure in the form of a dovetail joint that is complementary to each other.

In addition, it is revealed that the connecting portion 20 can be modified in various ways in that it connects each light emitting portion 10 to be detachable from each other.

Meanwhile, a fixing clip 123 is formed on the lower surface of the first housing 120 to provide a structure that can be worn on the shoulder muscles of clothing.

The fixing clip 123 has a plate-shaped structure that is bent a number of times so as to grip the outside of the shoulder strap at the bottom of the first housing 120, and is implemented as a structure capable of appropriately elastic deformation, or rotates based on a separate hinge pin to secure the shoulder strap. Since a structure such as a normal tong can be adopted to enable the light emitting unit 10 to be attached to or removed from clothing, such as a structure that grips the outside of the string with an appropriate gripping force, a detailed description will be omitted below.

The embodiments of the present invention described above are merely illustrative, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and other equivalent embodiments are possible. Therefore, it will be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms mentioned in the detailed description above. Therefore, the true scope of technical protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the attached patent claims.
