본 고안은 자동차용 백미러의 전자식 후방확인장치에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는, 자동차의 양측 후방 및 직후방에 대한 시야를 송상수단인 카메라로써 확보하여 차내에 설치된 수상수단에서 영상으로 출력되도록 된 것을 이용하여 후방에서의 다른 차량과의 거리를 파악할 수 있도록 되고, 후진시에는 후방장애물과의 거리를 측정하여 수치로서 표시하여 줌으로써, 운전의 안전성과 편리성을 도모할 수 있는 자동차용 백미러의 전자식 후방확인장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an electronic rearview confirmation device for a rearview mirror of a vehicle, and more specifically, to secure the view of the rear and immediately after both sides of the vehicle as a camera as a transmission means to be output as an image from the water means installed in the vehicle It is possible to grasp the distance from other vehicles in the rear by using it, and when it is reversed, it measures the distance to the rear obstacle and displays it as a numerical value, so that the electronic rear of the rear view mirror for automobiles can achieve driving safety and convenience. It relates to an identification device.

자동차의 백미러는, 일반적으로 자동차의 전방양측면(통상 전면유리의 양측면)에 장착되어 진다.The rearview mirror of a vehicle is generally mounted on both front sides of the vehicle (usually both sides of the windshield).

즉, 운잔자가 후방에서 진행하여서 오는 자동차나 사물을 용이하고 간편하게 식별할 수 있는 위치에 돌출되게 설치되어 있다.That is, it is installed to protrude in a position that can easily and easily identify the car or object coming from the rear.

그러나 이러한 백미러에 있어서는 운전자가 백미러를 통해서 절대적으로 볼 수가 없는 시야(사각)가 있기 때문에 운전자는 차내에 별도의 후사경을 설치하여 자동차의 후방시야를 확보토록 사용하고 있는 실정이었다.However, in such a rearview mirror, the driver has a field of view (blind) that the driver cannot see through the rearview mirror so that the driver installs a rearview mirror in the car to secure the rear view of the car.

그 결과, 운전에 대한 약간의 도움은 얻을 수 있었으나, 그 작용 및 효과에 대한 것은 한계가 있었던 것이다.As a result, some help with driving was obtained, but its operation and effects were limited.

또한, 자동차 운전시, 운전자는 앉은 상태에서 좌우측백미러 및 후사경을 보기 위하여 고개를 자주돌리는 동작을 취하여야 하였기 때문에 안전운행에 많은 어려움이 있었던 것이다.In addition, when driving a car, the driver had to take a frequent turn to look at the left and right rearview mirror and rearview mirror while sitting, so there were many difficulties in safe driving.

또한, 이러한 종래의 백미러는 자동차에 대하여 좌측 및 우측으로 돌출된 구조를 갖고있기 때문에 좁은 골목길 운행시 장애물과의 접촉의 우려가 있었을 뿐만 아니라 고속주행시, 공기와의 마찰면적이 크게되어, 소음이 크게 발생되는등 여러 문제점이 있었다.In addition, since the conventional rearview mirror has a structure protruding left and right with respect to the vehicle, there is a fear of contact with obstacles when driving in narrow alleys, as well as a large friction area with air during high-speed driving, resulting in a large noise. There were a number of problems.

이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위한 종래 기술로서 공개실용신안 제 87-14767 호가 제시된 바 있는데, 상기의 선고안은 자동차의 양측면과 후면에 각각 카메라를 설치하고 운전석 전면의 계기판에 모니터를 설치하여 그 브라운관을 통해 후면을 감시할 수 있도록 된 것으로, 운전자가 후방의 시계를 일목요연하게 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 종래의 문제점을 완화시킨 것이었다.As a prior art for solving such a problem, Korean Utility Model No. 87-14767 has been proposed. The above-described proposals install cameras on both sides and the rear of the car, and monitors are installed on the instrument panel in front of the driver's seat. It was possible to monitor the driver, which alleviated the conventional problem in that the driver can grasp the rear clock at a glance.

그러나 직접육안으로 확인하는 경우에는 거리에 대한 감각이 충분히 느껴질 수 있으나 모니터 상으로서는 거리에 관한 느낌이 충분치 못하여서 실질적인 상황파악이 안되는 문제점이 있었다.However, the direct visual confirmation may be enough to feel the sense of distance, but there is a problem that the actual situation can not be grasped because the feeling about the distance is not enough on the monitor.

따라서 본 고안의 목적은, 모니터에 의해 후방의 상황을 관찰함에 있어서 후방차량의 거리확인이 가능토록 된 자동차용 백미러의 전자식 후방확인장치를 제공하기 위한 것이다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic rearview confirmation device for a rearview mirror for a vehicle which enables the distance confirmation of a rear vehicle in observing a rearward situation by a monitor.

A distance confirmation line for checking the distance to the rear vehicle is displayed on the monitor, and a distance measuring sensor which is operated when the vehicle reverses is installed at one end of the rear of the vehicle, and the distance measured by the sensor is one end of the monitor. There is a feature to be displayed on.

이에 따라 자동차 후방의 상황을 모니터에 의해 일목요연하게 관찰할 수 있으면서, 후방의 사물에 대한 거리를 파악할 수 있는 것이다.Accordingly, the situation behind the vehicle can be observed at a glance with a monitor, and the distance to the rear object can be grasped.
