Description

The field of technology.

The invention relates to the field of light-signaling devices for vehicles, mainly automobiles. It is an improvement of the known device according to patent No. 2051503 (application PCT / RU94 / 00002).

State of the art

One of the analogues of the invention is a known device (DE patent No. 1234553 02.16.67).

The present invention comprises backward-facing lights equipped with main display elements (OEI), which are lamp sections, and auxiliary indication elements (VEI), which are located along the perimeters of the lamps and partially between the main display elements (OEI) or sections. This device also contains switching elements (CE) connected by control inputs to the drive of the vehicle brake system. Moreover, the outputs of the first CEs are associated with the first sections (OEI) of the lamps and VEI, and the second and subsequent CEs are associated with the second and subsequent OEI (sections) of the lamp. FE inputs are connected to the on-board network of the vehicle. Due to this, the effect on the drive of the vehicle's brake system (brake pedal) leads sequentially to the operation of the first and then subsequent FEs. Accordingly, the voltage of the on-board network is supplied to the first sections (first OEI) and VEI, which begin to glow, and then, as the drive travels, to the second and subsequent OEI.

This allows road users following a vehicle equipped with such a device to:

1) determine the presence of the specified device on the vehicle (by highlighting the circuit of the lamp using VEI) in relation to vehicles equipped with the usual brake light;

2) to assess the intensity of its inhibition smooth (if only the first OEI is lit), intense (more than half of the OEI is lit) or sharp (if all the OEI is lit);

3) to track the change in the intensity of braking of the vehicle going in front.

In the domestic invention (patent No. 2051503 and patent application PCT / RU94 / 00002), only the first CE switching element is connected to the drive of the vehicle brake system. The second and subsequent FEs are connected by control inputs to the deceleration sensor. Moreover, the first main display elements (OEI) are connected to the output of the first switching element (KE), the second OEI to the output of the second KE, and so on. VEI are connected to the outputs of the first and second KE through the logical element "OR".

Due to this, a greater objectivity of the indication of the braking intensity is achieved, as well as the possibility of indicating braking not related to the impact on the drive of the brake system, i.e. deceleration of what is happening due to a sudden malfunction of the vehicle or its collision with an obstacle.

In addition, it became possible to use the "Device ..." without making structural changes to the brake system drive and the vehicle itself, i.e. using it instead of an additional (third) brake light.

The known invention can be characterized by the following features:

- the presence of at least one lantern facing back, in which there are n main display elements (OEI) or n pairs of OEI made in the form of sections of the lantern and auxiliary display elements (VEI), capable of highlighting the outline or part of the outline of the lamp, or at least the edge (s) of the lamp, i.e. perform the function of the elements of the deceleration scale;

- the presence of a sensor of the fact of impact on the brake system drive, for example, in the form of a standard vehicle brake light switch;

- the presence of a deceleration sensor (speed reduction) of the vehicle, capable of detecting the achievement of m (where m = n-1) of the specified deceleration levels, having m outputs corresponding to m predetermined deceleration levels;

- the presence of a control circuit, which, in turn, contains active, passive and logical elements (including switching elements) connected with each other, with an OEI, VEI, a sensor of the fact of impact on the brake system drive, a deceleration sensor and the vehicle's on-board network so that it is capable of perform the following functions:

- to provide a luminescence of VEI and the first OEI (first sections or first pairs of lamp sections) when the brake system is exposed to the drive, while achieving the specified deceleration levels - second and subsequent OEI (sections or pairs of sections), including the nth,

- to provide a glow of VEI, as well as second, subsequent and n-x OEI upon reaching the deceleration levels set for the sensor that occurs without affecting the brake system drive,

- to ensure that the OEI and VEI are turned off in the reverse sequence with a decrease in the intensity of braking and the cessation of the impact on the brake system drive.

Improvement Background

In the process of implementing the domestic invention, instead of the third brake light, as well as research, it was found that the Device ... according to patent No. 2051503 is actually a light-signal means of active safety. And in the future, it can become a basic element of the Vehicle Informative Lighting System. For this, it is necessary to significantly increase the efficiency of using its light sources, including in combination with the standard and (or) optional light-signaling devices of the vehicle.

By increasing the efficiency of use of light sources it should be understood on the one hand - the optimization of their light intensity and brightness, and on the other - the expansion of the range of tasks solved by their illumination. In particular, the luminous intensity and brightness of light sources should correspond to the intensity of braking in average visibility conditions and be adjusted for different levels of luminance background, and also take into account the nature of the vehicle. On the other hand, light sources must solve such problems as, for example, an indication of the need for braking in cases when it is detected by an onboard radar or other device, as well as an indication of an accident and emergency stop.

In particular, in the process of implementing the domestic invention, instead of the third brake light using LED sections as the main display elements (OEI), and VEI - groups of LEDs located piecewise between the LED sections and at the edges of the lamp, there was a need to combine a minimum light intensity of ~ 30 ... 35 cd when indicating the minimum braking intensity \ a \ <1.5 m / s ² and, accordingly, the maximum light output of the LEDs (luminous intensity not less than 150 cd) when indicating emergency braking | a | ≥6 m / s ² when the minimum the number of LEDs due to their high cost and the limited size of the lamp.

In addition, tests showed that a noticeable difference in the brightness of some OEI (sections) with respect to others and VEI with respect to OEI leads to a decrease in the range of error-free determination of the displayed value of deceleration, especially under worsened visibility conditions.

It should also be noted that the nominal luminous intensity of the most acceptable domestic and foreign LEDs at given light distribution values is ~ 4 cd. At the same time, the optimal version of the lamp contains 40 LEDs (4 pairs of sections of the OEI and 2 groups of LEDs included in the VEI (4 pieces each)). In this regard, the inclusion of VEI and OEI according to the well-known scheme (patent No. 2051503) allows you to have a light output of the LEDs VEI and the first OEI ≤2 cd, and the penultimate and last OEI ~ 4 cd. In this case, the load factor of the former is ~ 0.5, and the penultimate and latter are ~ 1.0. Obviously, the reliability of the former due to incomplete load is much higher than the latter.

At the same time, as experience and research results have shown, the optimal value of light intensity should be 30 ... 35 cd when indicating braking with a deceleration of <1.5 m / s ² , 45 ... 55 cd - with a deceleration of <3 m / s ² , 75 ... 85 cd - when decelerating from 3 to 6 m / s ² and more than 150 cd - when braking is indicated with a deceleration of more than 6 m / s ² .

It is easy to determine that each of the 8 LEDs (first OEI), +8 LEDs (VEI) +8 LEDs (second OEI) when displaying braking with a deceleration of up to 3 m / s ² should have a light output of ~ 2 cd. In this case, the total luminous intensity emitted by the OEI and VEI when indicating the impact on the brake system drive and braking with a deceleration of up to 1.5 m / s ² will be ~ 32 cd and 48 cd, respectively, when indicating braking with a deceleration of 1.5 to 3 m / s ² . The third group of OEI, in order to provide a light intensity of 75 ... 85 cd, should emit ~ 30 ... 32 cd. Its 8 LEDs should glow with maximum light output, i.e. with a light intensity close to maximum (~ 4 cd). The light output of the LEDs of the last group of OEI (also 4 cd each) can provide an increase in light intensity by another 32 cd. In this case, the total luminous intensity does not exceed 112 cd. It is typical that in the latter case, 24 LEDs will have a load factor of ~ 0.5, and the remaining 1.6-1.0, and the required level of light intensity of 150 cd is not achieved. In addition, the middle part of the lantern, as well as the VEI LEDs, will have a brightness less than 2 times the extreme sections of the VEI, which reduces the range of error-free determination of the deceleration behind the walking participant. Moreover, the difference in the load coefficients of the light sources of the OEI and VEI does not allow to increase the reliability of the device as a whole.

Thus, the known device does not allow the efficient use of light sources of at least the first and second OEI and VEI. In addition, the required characteristic of the luminescence of the lantern (the dependence of the light intensity on the amount of deceleration) is not provided without increasing the number of light sources of the OEI, the reliability reserves of light sources and the informative properties of the device as a whole are not fully used.

The experience gained with the use of the prototype indicates that it cannot be implemented also in the two-mode version (day-night), for which the luminous intensity in the day mode should differ in both minimum and maximum values.

The trial operation of the Device ... according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2051503 showed that the values of the light intensity of 30 ... 35 cd when indicating the fact of the impact on the drive of the brake system and braking with a deceleration of less than 1.5 m / s ² and 45 ... 55 cd when braking is indicated with a deceleration of 1.5 ... 3.0 m / s ^2, respectively, they are optimal for most conditions of visibility and observation of the third brake light, because it is most often located at the eye level of the driver behind the walking vehicle. However, in conditions of high brightness background, the above-mentioned level of light intensity may not be enough. At the same time, when stopping, for example, to a prohibiting traffic signal, when the distance from the third (additional) brake signal to the eyes behind the walking participant does not exceed 4 ... 6 m, the luminaire glow with a light intensity of more than 30 ... 35 cd with prolonged exposure creates significant visual discomfort. This, in turn, complicates the perception of other elements of the road environment that affect traffic safety. At the same time, when driving even at a low speed, the signal observation distance is much greater, and therefore, for reliable detection of braking with low intensity, the required light intensity should be approximately 1.5 times higher. It is characteristic that the prototype does not resolve this contradiction.

It should be noted that various combinations of the glow of the OEI and VEI could allow the use of this device for remote warning of an attempt to enter a car or under a car (for example, for mining), guarded by a car security system and (or) a special anti-mine alarm with indication not only fact, but also the type of attempt.

Recent studies have shown that during emergency braking (\ a \> 6 m / s ² ), the luminous intensity of the lamp (OEI and VEI) in conditions of high brightness background or with limited visibility is not enough. At the same time, the rear fog lights of the vehicle are rarely used. In addition, modern braking systems, thanks to ABS (anti-lock braking systems), even with emergency braking, are virtually silent. It should be noted that emergency braking can often be a harbinger of an accident that is dangerous for road users who are not only behind the braking, but also moving in parallel. Therefore, during emergency braking, when the deceleration value corresponds to the level of emergency braking (or exceeds it), it would be advisable to include not only the rear fog lights, but also a special sound signal, for example, a siren in tone mode. Obviously, in the prototype such functions are not provided.

In cases where an accident cannot be avoided, or an emergency stop occurs in the lane, the designation of an emergency vehicle using an alarm (synchronous pulse mode of the direction indicator lights) is often not enough, especially in conditions of high brightness background or limited visibility. In addition, the lamp of the Device ..., used instead of the third brake light, is located (in accordance with UNECE Regulation No. 48) in a place where the probability of its damage in an accident, compared to, for example, the rear lamps of the direction indicator, is significantly less . In this regard, the use of the Device ..., in particular, the luminescence of the OEI and VEI of its lantern, and other light devices, such as headlights, rear fog lights, brake lights and an audible signal in a pulsed mode together with an alarm, would significantly increase Device efficiency ... as a means of active safety of the vehicle as a whole

In addition, if the vehicle stops due to an accident, the driver of the emergency vehicle may not be able to turn on the alarm, especially at the time of the accident. Therefore, the automatic inclusion of an alarm signal in combination with light and sound sources supplementing it at the time of the onset of the accident, or better, before the onset of the accident (if it is inevitable) would minimize the likelihood of secondary accidents. Obviously, the prototype does not have such capabilities.

Recently developed systems of semi-automatic and automatic braking, operating in conjunction with a radar that controls the distance, make it possible in some cases to determine the need for deceleration or braking (for example, when approaching a vehicle in front) ahead of the driver. In such cases, the radar sends a signal to the driver and (or) to automatically turn on the brake system [3]. Using this signal to turn on the VEI will allow behind the going participant to detect the fact of the need (or preparation) for braking and (or) turning on the brake system before the vehicle starts to slow down. Thus, a reserve of time can be created for an adequate reaction of the participant in the movement that is behind. The latter is extremely important for traffic safety in conditions of limited visibility, with limited visibility, as well as with a reduced distance.

It should be noted that the radar that determines the distance, working in conjunction with the speed control system and its changes, the actions of the driver, the position of the vehicle in combination with the processor, is able to determine the onset of the inevitability of the accident with a very high probability. In practice, the time from this moment to the time of the accident can be used in advanced passive safety systems for the preparation and activation of passive safety means. Using a signal about the occurrence of such a moment to automatically turn on the alarm and the devices supplementing it could give other road users a certain margin of time to prevent or minimize the consequences of a possible secondary accident.

During the trial operation of the Device ... it turned out that during emergency braking, its lantern (s) can (can) be taken behind by a walking participant behind the lantern (s) of a brake light that glows the same when any brake is applied to the drive system. This is possible when part of the vehicles will be equipped with Devices ..., and part - with brake lights. At the same time, it is characteristic of the case when initially the driver’s attention behind the walking vehicle was focused on other objects and the start of braking (deceleration) would be unnoticed. In this case, the walker behind can correctly assess the braking intensity of the walker ahead only with a certain delay, i.e. the advantages of the Device ... may not be fully apparent.

It is obvious that the identified problems can be successfully solved using the group of inventions - a number of methods and devices for indicating braking.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention makes it possible to obtain a new technical result, which consists in increasing the efficiency of using the light sources of the lantern (lanterns) of the own device (OEI and VEI), as well as the lighting devices of the vehicle as an informative light-signal means of active safety for supplying other traffic participants with adequate signals about upcoming braking (deceleration), the fact of the impact on the brake system drive, the fact of braking (deceleration) with an indication of its intensity and dynamics e changes in real time, on the event of an emergency, and an emergency stop. This is ensured by optimizing the process of monitoring vehicle motion parameters and indications in relation to the nature of braking and deceleration, optimizing their use in various conditions and adapting to the lighting conditions and movement of light sources of its lantern (lanterns), vehicle light-signaling devices, supplemented by sound sources , in combination with the possibility of joint functioning with advanced automatic means of controlling motion parameters (distances, scab, acceleration etc.) having a driver's warning device the need of inhibition and (or) the automatic control of the brake system as well as with devices actuating passive safety features, such as seat belt pretensioners, airbags, etc..

Obtaining the specified technical result is achieved:

- due to the optimization of the algorithm of the device, i.e. indication process;

- by expanding the functionality of the control circuit i.e. the ability to perform new functions;

- by expanding the functionality of the Device ... itself, introducing new elements (devices) and (or) connections with such devices, including those that are part of the standard or optional equipment of the vehicle, as well as relations between them and with known elements (devices);

- due to changes in the geometric characteristics of the relative positions of the main and auxiliary display elements in the lamp (s) of the Device ....

In turn, the expansion of the functionality of the control circuit refers to the ability of the control circuit to perform new functions, in particular:

- create a predetermined single-stage or multi-stage increment of the luminous intensity of at least a portion of the previously included display elements when at least individual subsequent ones are switched on (during the sensor’s registration of new, i.e., increased deceleration levels) so that each the next level of deceleration was accompanied by an adequate predetermined general increase in luminous intensity and luminance of the glow, while the brightness of at least most or all of the newly and earlier included display elements would be the same howl or close to the level;

- save the daylight intensity levels set for the display elements corresponding to the registered deceleration values when the vehicle side and fog lights are simultaneously off or on in the “day” mode, or switch to proportionally lower preset light levels for the display elements when the side lights are on only, those. in the night mode;

- provide dynamic correction (fixed in magnitude and time increase in light intensity of at least part of the auxiliary and main, mainly the first and second display elements; with its subsequent gradual decrease to a previously set value and the possibility of its repeated increase only after switching off),

- the ability to connect a control circuit to the signal outputs of existing and future systems that can detect, for example, using a radar the need for braking (deceleration) of a vehicle and generate signals to alert the driver about the need for braking and (or) to activate the automatic braking (deceleration) device ) [3], when installed on a vehicle (including as an option), in order to indicate not only the facts of the driver’s influence on the brake system drive braking (deceleration), but it need any fact set the automatic braking system almost to the beginning of braking (deceleration) VEI inclusion;

- the ability to connect the control circuit to the signal outputs that signal to activate the braking system of existing and future cruise control systems, in which, in addition to the above, speed reduction functions can be automatically performed, i.e. deceleration or braking when approaching a dangerous section of the road, at a time when the deceleration value does not yet reach the lower predetermined level by also turning on the VEI;

- the ability to connect a control circuit to the signal outputs of alarm systems and similar devices, capable of, for example, generating a signal that a vehicle is stolen when it is irradiated with sounding pulses of a radio signal by emitters available to service personnel searching for stolen vehicles with the aim of remote detection of the fact and determination of the nature of the impact on the object of protection (vehicle) by the corresponding nature of the glow of certain elements indication in accordance with the alarm system algorithm while maintaining the basic functions, i.e. Indications of braking, deceleration and those listed above;

- the ability to turn on the rear fog lights or the rear fog lights in conjunction with an audio signal for the duration of registration of the deceleration sensor to achieve and exceed the deceleration level corresponding to emergency braking (deceleration).

- the ability to connect a control circuit to the signal outputs of security systems that can generate a signal to actuate devices that minimize injuries to the driver and passengers of the vehicle during an accident (deployment of airbags, pyrotechnic or electrically powered, seat belt pretensioners, etc.) that become standard vehicle equipment in accordance with the UNECE Rules, allows you to automatically turn on the standard vehicle alarm, as well as in addition to it, the pulse mode of illumination of the display elements and other lighting devices of the vehicle in combination with a special sound signal at the time of the onset of the accident or at the time of recording its inevitability, which can be detected by appropriate sensors, for example, shock sensors, direct, lateral or rotational acceleration or deceleration at a level greater than g in combination with an analysis of the nature of movement and approach to another vehicle or stationary object using a processor to th can be connected as a radar speed sensor, steering angle, etc. of the slip.

By expanding the functionality of the Device ... we mean its ability to detect an emergency (accident) or pre-emergency situation and automatically turn on the alarm in combination with the emergency (pulsed) mode of operation of the light sources of OEI and VEI, rear fog lights, brake lights, headlights and sound signal with the possibility of subsequent manual simultaneous and separate shutdown of at least individual sources of light and (or) sound signal. In addition, it is possible to simultaneously turn on the listed sources (in pulsed mode with a pulse repetition rate of the alarm signal) and simultaneously and separately turn them off. Moreover, the pulse repetition rate of, at least, part of the signal sources (for example, an audio signal, OEI and VEI) when automatically turned on should differ from the pulse repetition rate of the alarm signal.

The ability to perform the above functions, in turn, is achieved by the fact that the Device ... introduces at least communications with additional sensors for deceleration, direct and lateral accelerations and accelerations due to the vehicle turning around a vertical axis, capable of recording the achievement and exceeding the levels typical for emergency collisions with another moving or stationary vehicle or object and, (if they are not installed on the vehicle as part of ugih systems); unit for automatic and manual activation of the alarm signal (direction indicators in synchronous impulse mode), headlights, rear fog lights and an audio signal in impulse mode, containing a common manual on-off switch and individual switches, as well as communications between them, with the on-board control circuit the vehicle network and the output (s) of the distance monitoring system, vehicle motion parameters and driver actions, to activate passive safety devices when registering inevitability and (high probability) a collision with an obstacle or other vehicle, if such a system is installed on the vehicle.

Changing the geometric characteristics of the relative positions of the main and auxiliary display elements consists in the fact that the auxiliary display elements are at least partially located or made in such a way that at least a part of their radiating surface extends beyond the contour of the radiating surface of the main display elements in transverse direction of not less than 10%.

A new technical result consisting in increasing the efficiency of use of the light sources of the Device ..., including in combination with standard and (or) optional light-signaling devices and the source (sources) of the sound signal of the vehicle, can manifest itself in individual cases or conditions (lighting , visibility, movement, braking or deceleration), in the event of an accident, stop, etc., or in all of the above cases or conditions (as they arise), and may be partial or complete in relation to individual sources and / or groups of light sources.

Information confirming the possibility of carrying out the invention

The structural diagram of the inventive device (see figure 1) may contain:

- a lantern - 1, used instead of the third (additional) brake light, working in conjunction with the main braking signals - 1/1, made in the same way (on the right side of figure 1) or in conjunction with two ordinary brake lights - 1/2 (the left part of figure 1);

- the impact sensor on the brake system drive - 3; connected to the drive - 2 braking systems (brake pedal) of the vehicle;

- a deceleration sensor - 4, having m outputs (in Fig. 1 m = 3) corresponding to m with a predetermined deceleration value;

- control scheme - 5.

In addition, the Device ... may include its own or used in prospective active or passive safety systems sensor block - 6 control of emergency decelerations and vehicle accelerations, which can detect the nature of the vehicle’s movement in which it is damaged (see Fig. .8), automatic and manual alarm activation unit 7 (rear lights -1/5 of direction indicators, the glow of which together with their front and side light devices in a synchronous imp in the ice mode in accordance with UNECE Regulation No. 48 and are an alarm) and the light-signaling devices (rear fog lights - 1/4 (Figs. 1, 3, 8) of the brake light - 1/2 or 1/1 ( 1, 2, 3, 8), headlights-1/6 and the source of the sound signal -1/7 (see Fig. 8).

The device ... may include a radar - 8 (a system for monitoring distance, speed and (or) other parameters of movement, including emergency and pre-emergency conditions), as well as a security alarm system - 9 (Fig. 8).

The impact sensor on the drive of the brake system - 3, see Fig. 1, as well as the deceleration sensor - 4 are connected to the inputs of the control circuit - 5. The outputs of the control circuit 5 are connected to the main display elements (OEI) - 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4, and also auxiliary display elements (VEI) - 1.5 or one of the three lights - 1 (the left side of figure 1), or all three, i.e. - 1, and 1/1 (the right side of figure 1).

Lantern - 1 contains n pairs of OEI (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.n) or n OEI (see lantern 1/1 on the right side of figure 1) and VEI - 1.5, capable of highlighting at least the edges (edge) of the lantern from the side, forming at the same time elements of the slowdown scale.

The control circuit - 5 has at least m + 1 control inputs (Fig. 1) and n + 1 outputs. The inputs of the control circuit - 5 are connected with the sensor output - 3 impacts on the brake system drive (in practice, this is the output of the standard vehicle brake light switch) and m deceleration sensor outputs - 4.

This variant of the structural scheme does not have external distinguishing features from the first analogue (see patent application PCT / RU 94/0002).

Distinctive features that provide a new technical result, which consists in increasing the efficiency of using light sources, are, first of all, in the new functionality of the control circuit - 5. In turn, the new functions of the control circuit - 5 can be achieved, in the general case, by many options for introducing analog active, passive and logical elements (electronic components, including key (switching), pulse generators, for example, multivibrators, into the control circuit, and tax-digital converters and digital devices, output and control elements in combination with a processor, made according to well-known schemes, given, for example, in [4, 5] of the connections between them, as well as with known elements (OEI, VEI, sensors) and on-board network (electrical circuit) of the vehicle.

Directly control circuit - 5, one of the variants of which is disclosed in figure 2 contains:

m switching elements - KE1, KE2 and KE3 (in general - KEM), connected to the deceleration sensor - 4, logic element, "OR" in the form of diodes VD1 and VD2 with a common input, as well as diodes VD3 ... VD8 and passive Elements (resistors) R1-R11.

This version of the control circuit 5 provides a partial receipt of the claimed technical result, i.e. increasing the efficiency of using not all light sources of OEI and (or) VEI equally, but only VEI 1.5, OEI1.1-OEI1.3. In addition, the nature of the luminaire when indicating the upper values of the vehicle deceleration (| a |> 6 m / s ² ) is different. In particular, the OEI 1.1 in this mode glows regardless of the causes of deceleration (from the fact of the impact on the brake system drive - 2) of the vehicle.

Another part of the claimed technical result is the possibility of using the OEI and VEI of the lights for security and, in particular, mine clearance, is achieved by a new extension of the functions of the control circuit - 5 due to the introduction of new passive, active and (or) logical elements, as well as new outputs : C, D, E, F and K (Fig. 4) for communication with devices - 9 (Fig. 8) of an emergency, security or special, for example, mine warning. Thanks to this, the alarm system - 9 allows you to remotely (at a safe distance) detect not only the fact, but also the nature of the impact on the guarded vehicle, for example, an attempt to enter the passenger compartment, open the hood, or mine by the nature (combination) of the glow of OEI11-14 and VEI15 ,

A variant of control circuit 5, which allows implementing the function of automatically switching light sources OEI11-1.4 and VEI 1.5 to the "night" mode from "daytime" and vice versa, thereby increasing the efficiency of using almost all light sources OEI1.1-1.4 and VEI1.5, as well as its connections, is disclosed in figure 4, where additional connections are characterized by inputs A and B, respectively connected with the switches KL-1 side lights 1/3 and KL-2 - rear fog lights 1/4 (see figure 3) as well as with outputs C, D, E, F, K for connecting security systems, or specially th signaling (in Fig. 8 this connection is shown by a single line). In addition, the outputs C, D, E, F, K can, as an option, be used to control the luminescence of the OEI and VEI when used as emergency lighting devices, if the control device for its supply is the automatic and manual alarm activation unit, see together figure 4 and figure 9. It should be noted that in this case the control circuit is supplemented by another input - C1.

In the diagram of Fig. 4, as an option of switching devices, relays P1 with contacts 1P1 and 2P1 in the power supply of VEI 1.5 are used, as well as relays P2 and P3 with contacts 1P1 and 1P3 in conjunction with the resistor R1 in the power supply of all OEI and VEI and control circuits - 5.

In addition, the control circuit - 5 (in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4) may contain m switching elements (KE1-KE3), an OR circuit (VD1-VD2), a control circuit for the magnitude of the current (light intensity of the OEI and VEI): resistors R2-R13, diodes VD2-VD9 and decoupling circuits of outputs C, D, E, F, K, respectively VD10-VD14 and resistors that limit the current R14-R18.

It should be noted that the input - C1 (or C, if it is not involved) of the control circuit - 5 in figure 3 and figure 4 can be used to connect to the output of the radar - 8, see Fig. 8 or other device capable of applying a signal to the driver about the need for braking (for example, when a dangerous reduction in distance) or (and) a signal to activate the brake system. As can be seen from the control circuit - 5, disclosed in figure 4, this signal will lead to the inclusion of VEI - 1.5, in the above cases. To the output - L control circuit - 5, see figure 4 parallel to the OEI 1.4 can be connected to the light sources of the rear fog lights - 1/4 with the sound source - 1/7 or without it, see also Fig. 8 and 9.

Shown in Fig. 7a, an embodiment of a fragment of the control circuit - 5, included in the power supply of the VEI and (or) VEI, allows to practically realize the function of the light intensity of the OEI and (or) VEI light sources specified in time and magnitude. This fragment contains: - a magnetically controlled contact S1 which is part of the deceleration sensor - 4 (Figs. 1–4.8), a switching element in the form of a transistor switch (R19, VT1), a resistor R20, a decoupling diode VD14. These elements are connected to a pair of sections of OEI (1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3) or VEI - 1.5, containing 8 light-emitting diodes VD2 ... VD9. In parallel to the indicated pair of sections (light sources VD15-VD22), a shunt circuit is connected, containing, in turn, a differentiating circuit - R21, C1 at the input of transistor VT2. The ratings (resistance of resistor R21 and capacitance C1) of the differentiating circuit determine the nature of the change in current flowing through transistor VT2 from the moment the reed switch S1 closes, - a resistance of resistor R32 - degree of shunting of resistor R20, i.e. increment of the current flowing through the light emitting diodes VD2 ... VD9 and, accordingly, the light intensity.

The embodiment of the Device shown in Fig. 8, in contrast to those shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, contains: a sensor unit — 6 controls the transition of the vehicle to the accident state (direct acceleration occurring upon impact from behind, deceleration controlled at a level of more than 1.5 g, typical for cases of collision with objects located in front, as well as lateral and rotational accelerations; unit - 7 automatic and manual activation of the alarm signal (its light sources are lights - 1/5 of the direction indicator, lit in imp ice mode synchronously) and the light sources and lighting devices that supplement it, i.e., the OEI, and the VEI of the lights 1 or 1 and 1/1, the rear fog lights - 1/4, the lights - 1/2, the headlights - 1/6 and the sound signal source is 1/7. In addition, the Device ... can also include a device - 8, for example, a radar capable of giving the driver a warning signal about the need for braking, or (and) a signal to activate the vehicle’s brake system and device - 9 security or (and) special, for example, anti-mine signaling. In addition to the sensor unit - 6, the device can also include elements of active and passive safety systems of the vehicle, such as ABS (anti-lock braking system, PBS (traction control system), as well as stability control systems and corresponding correction systems and devices. A wide range of sensors and control devices of various types, as a rule, have a processor capable of analyzing the situation, making adequate decisions and introducing adjustments to the control process. Lenia vehicle generating appropriate control signals. It is evident that these signals can be used to control the light sources and light devices.

The schematic diagram of the automatic and manual activation of the alarm signal and the elements supplementing it shown in Fig. 9 is one of the analog options that can perform the required algorithm of its operation. It contains: - the button Kn1 for switching on the extreme mode of the alarm signal (this mode is used when it is forced to stop in the traffic lane of a road with heavy traffic in conditions of poor visibility, etc.); - button Kn2 general alarm off; - a standard Cl3 alarm switch (used to indicate a vehicle in case of emergency stops outside the lane in conditions of good visibility, when towing and in a number of other similar cases); - buttons Kn3 - Kn7 of manual shutdown of individual sources of extreme emergency, for example, pulsed illumination of headlamps (Kn6); - Standard switches, rear fog lights 1/4 - Cl5; headlights 1/6 - Kl6, sirens (sound signal) 1/7 - Kl7; - thyristor keys VD24, R23 - VD28, R27; - decoupling diodes VD29-VD37; - resistors, in addition to those shown above, R28-R32; - electromagnetic relays marked with pos. P4-P6 with the corresponding contact groups 1P4-2P4, 1P5-6P5, 1P6-5P6; - the position of the RP shows the standard relay-interrupter circuits of direction indicators and alarm; - multivibrators MB1 and MV2 (working in conjunction with relay P6, the first one with a pulse repetition rate equal to or close to the pulse repetition rate generated by a relay chopper RP ~ 2 Hz, and the second with increased (~ 4 ... 5 Hz) The first pulse repetition rate occurs during manual start-up, the second - during automatic operation, which gives other road users the opportunity to immediately understand that the vehicles indicated by an alarm with an increased frequency stopped as a result of an accident, when the stop did not occur dstavlyaet appreciable danger to other road users.

The embodiments (bias) of at least part of the VEI - 1.5 light sources relative to the OEI shown in Fig. 10 characterize the possibility of their selection by the organs of vision when indicating braking modes characterized by the glow of the n-OEI, and it is also more reliable to perceive information about the intensity and dynamics braking (deceleration), which reflects a new opportunity to increase the efficiency of use of light sources, in particular, VEI.

Device operation

The option presented in figure 2.

When exposed to the brake pedal 2 (Figs. 1-4), then see Fig. 2, an action sensor is activated on the brake drive -3. The voltage is supplied from the on-board network to the stoplights - 1/2 of the vehicle, made according to the usual scheme, or to the VEI of the lights - 1 and 1/1 (the right side of figure 2) through the "OR" circuit (diode VD1), resistor R7 , which will lead to the luminescence of the VEI 1.5 (and stoplights 1/2). In addition, through the resistor R8 - voltage is supplied to the first OEI - 1.1 lights 1 and 1/1, which leads to their glow. The light intensity and brightness of VEI 1.5 and OEI 1.1 are determined by the values of the resistors R7 and R8, respectively.

Further action on the pedal 2 (Fig.1, 3) will lead to the operation of the brake system and deceleration of the vehicle. When the deceleration value reaches the first predetermined level, the deceleration sensor -4 will provide voltage through the resistor R9 to the OEI-1.2 through the switching element KE-1. VEI-1.5, OEI 1.1 and 1.2 are lit with the same brightness due to the selection of the resistance of the resistors R7, R8 and R9, respectively.

With the achievement of the deceleration of the second predetermined level, an additional signal from the sensor - 4 will ensure the operation of KE2. Additionally, the current will flow through it and R10 to the OEI 1.3 lights 1 and 1/1. Moreover, due to the selection of the resistance of the resistor R10 (in accordance with the specified requirement for the indicated deceleration), the light intensity of the OEI 1.3 will be higher compared to the light intensity of the OEI 1.1, 1.2 and VEI 1.5 when registering the previous deceleration level. In addition, due to the flow of current through the shunt circuits VD3-R5 and VD4-R6, the magnitude of the current flowing through VEI 1.5 and OEI 1.2, respectively, will increase. Thanks to the selection of resistors R5 and R6, the light intensity and brightness of the OEI 1.2 and 1.3, as well as the VEI 1.5 will increase and will be equal to the light intensity and brightness of the OEI 1.3, provided that the values of the resistances R10, VD3, R5R7 and VD4, R6R9 are equivalent, respectively.

When the magnitude of the deceleration reaches the m-th (3rd in figure 2) level, the sensor - 4 will provide the triggering of the KEZ. A current circuit "+" is formed, - KE3 - R11 - OEI 1.4. Thanks to the shunt circuits: R1-VD5, R2-VD6, R3-VD7 and R4-VD8, the current value and light output of VEI 1.5, OEI 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 will increase again and due to the selection of appropriate resistors it will be equal to the light output of OEI-1.4.

With a decrease in the value of deceleration and the cessation of the impact on the drive of the brake system, everything will happen in the reverse order

When the vehicle slows down for reasons not related to the activation of the brake system (engine speed drop, etc.), the brake system activation sensor -3 does not work, otherwise the circuit works in a similar way. Until the deceleration of the third (m-th) level is reached, the OEI 1.1 will not light up, but with the achievement and exceeding of it, the OEI 1.1 will light up. In this case, the strength of the current (and light) will be determined by the resistance value R2.

As the deceleration decreases, the switching elements KE3, KE2 and KE1 will be switched off sequentially. In this case, with the KE1 turned off, the control circuit - 5 will return to its original state.

From the analysis of the operation of the variant of the control circuit - 5 presented in FIG. 2, it can be seen that the claimed new technical result, consisting in increasing the efficiency of use of light sources, is achieved partially in relation to OEI1.1 and fully to VEI 1.5 and OEI 1.2 and 1.3. This was achieved by introducing into the control scheme - 5 new elements and the connections between them inside it.

The differences in the operation of the variant of the Device ... made according to the scheme of FIGS. 3 and 4 are predetermined:

and - the presence of a larger number of shunt power circuits OEI 1.1 - instead of one - R2-VD6 (figure 2) their two R3-VD4 and R7-VD8 (see figure 4);

b - the inclusion of these circuits through the contacts 1P1 and 2P1 of the relay P1, fed through a brake light switch (sensor - 3);

c - power supply to all circuits of EI by means of elements R1 or 1P2 or 1P3 through inputs A and B;

g - the ability to power at least part of the OEI (or OEI and VEI) from signaling devices via inputs: C, D, E, F, K while maintaining the basic functions.

e - the ability to connect the Device ... to a radar or other device capable of controlling a dangerous approach with a vehicle in front or (and) a change in the situation requiring the braking system to be activated. In particular, the difference in items a and b leads to the fact that if the vehicle slows down without activating its braking system, then the sensor - 3 does not supply power to relay P1 and its contacts 1P1 and 2P1 remain open. Therefore, the OEI 1.1 will glow not in all modes of indication of braking, but only in those that are associated with the impact on the drive - 2 of the brake system.

In addition, if braking occurs when the brake system is acted upon (by pedal 2, see Figs. 3, 4), then the sensor - 3 will supply power to relay P1 (circuit: "+" on-board network - sensor - 3 - relay coil P1 - "-" on-board network). Accordingly, the contacts 1P1 and 2P1 are closed. Due to this, when the second predetermined deceleration level is reached, KE2 is triggered. In this case, the magnitude of the current, and, accordingly, the load factor of the OEI 1.3 at the same given light intensity for this display mode, decreases due to a corresponding increase in current in the OEI 1.1, through the shunt circuit: KE2-1R1-R7-VD8-OEI 1.1. In this case, due to the selection of the corresponding resistors (R12, R8, R11, R7, R6, R9), all the included OEI - 1.1,1.2, 1.3 and VEI - 1.5 will glow with the same brightness and have the same light output. In the embodiment of the control circuit of FIG. 2, the OEI 1.1 will glow with brightness (have a light output) due to the current flowing only along the circuit of the 3-P8-OEI 1.1 sensor, i.e. as when touching the brake pedal - 2 (or when m = 1).

The difference in p.v. means that all the OEI and VEI through the corresponding circuit will be powered by the rated voltage of the on-board network in cases where the 1/3 and 1/4 fog lights (Kl1 and Kl2 in figure 3) are turned off or when both at the same time included (included Kl1 and KL2). In the first case, currents through the relay P1 and P2 (figure 4) do not flow and the contacts 1P2 will remain in the closed position, and 1P3 - in the open. Due to this, the current supplying the OEI 1.1-1.4 and VEI 1.5 will flow through the contacts 1P2, bypassing R1, and in the second (when Kl1 and Kl2 are closed, (relays P2 and P3 energized) - through the closed contacts 1P3.

If only the side lights 1/3 are turned on (this is done with normal visibility in low light conditions), when the night mode is required (in Fig. 3 Cl1 is on, Cl2 is off), relay P2 (figure 4) will open the contacts 1P2. In this regard, the current for supplying the OEI and VEI will flow through R1, therefore, the voltage for supplying the OEI and VEI circuits will be lower by ΔU = IR1, where I is the value of the current flowing through the resistor R1, and R1 is the value of its resistance. Due to this, with the appropriate choice of the R1 rating in the night mode, the light intensity of all sources (OEI and VEI) will be reduced by a predetermined value.

The difference in pg is that the decoupling chains R14-VD10 and others, for example R15-VD11, R16-VD12 (figure 4), allow you to apply a given current value to the desired combination of OEI or OEI and VEI, the glow of which can symbolize triggering of the corresponding channel of the guard or anti-mine alarm. In this case, the main functions of the "Device" are saved. Significant light intensity of the OEI or OEI and VEI makes it possible to visually detect, in particular, the operation of the mine clearance channel, while remaining at a safe distance from the vehicle that has been mined. It is characteristic that in this case the energy consumption from the vehicle’s battery is less than when using incandescent lamps by 5-6 times.

The difference in pd characterizes the possibility of using the Device ... together with other means of active safety. In particular, input C can be used to connect a distance monitoring system to the actuator (radar), for example, in parallel with a driver warning signal device and (or) an automatic braking actuator. In this case, the OEI 1.5 will additionally light up when registering the need for braking and (or) when a signal is received to activate the brake system.

Thus, the claimed technical result is achieved by expanding the functionality of the control circuit, which, in turn, is achieved by introducing new active, passive and logical elements into it, new connections between them, the well-known elements of the "Device" and the electric circuit elements of the vehicle.

It should be noted that there can be a lot of options for a specific implementation of the control circuit and each of its elements. Shown in figures 1-4 options are implemented and confirm the possibility of carrying out the invention.

Obtaining the claimed technical result is illustrated by diagrams in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, where load coefficients of light sources of the OEI and VEI corresponding to the four braking indication modes for the prototype (FIG. 5) and for the Device ... made in accordance with FIG. 4 - in Fig.6.

Analysis of the diagrams shows that with decelerations up to 3 m / s ² they do not differ. In this case, the light sources (VEI - 1.5, OEI - 1.1 and OEI - 1.2) glow with a load factor of 0.5, i.e. half loaded, emitting 8 cd each Hey (or 2 cd each LED that is part of the OEI or VEI). However, when the second predetermined deceleration level of \ a \ ≥3.0 m / s is reached, ² light sources OEI - 1.1, OEI - 1.2 and VEI - 1.5 light up in the prototype as well, and OEI - 1.3 with full load, see FIG. 5. At the same time, with the same braking mode and with the same total luminous intensity - 80 cd, the load factor of all the included light sources of the lamp (s) of the Device ... is the same. Its approximate value is 0.65. During emergency braking (\ a \ ≥6 m / s ² ), the light sources of OEI 1.3 and OEI 1.4 of the prototype (Fig. 5) shine with full load (Kn = 1.0), while the rest (OEI - 1.1, OEI - 1.2 and VEI - 1.5 are only half loaded, and the total light intensity is Is = 112 cd. When indicating the same braking mode, the same light sources of the lamp (s) of the Device ..., when performing its control circuit - 5 in accordance with FIG. 4, see FIG. 6, work more efficiently and are able to provide light intensity radiation - Is = 160 cd.

The operation of the elements of the dynamic correction circuit, provided that the power lines VEI 1.5, OEI 1.1, OEI1.2 and OEI1.3 in accordance with figa is as follows. Upon receipt of a signal from the deceleration sensor - 4 (Figs. 1-4), for example, in the form of a magnetically controlled contact closure - S1 (Fig. 7a) about reaching a predetermined deceleration level or from the sensor - 3 about the effect of the brake system on the drive - 2 (Fig. 1) 1-4) in parallel with the main power supply line of the light sources (in figa - circuit: "+" - transistor switch R19-VT1, - VD14, - R20, - VD15-VD22, - "-" on-board network, light sources - VD15-VD22 are powered by the circuit: "+", - differential transistor switch R21-C1-VT2, - VD23, - R22, - VD15-VD22, - "-" on-board network. In this case (during the process of charging capacitor C1 through resistor R21 ) the current in this circuit decreases exponentially, starting from a value depending on the values of R21, C1, R22 and the gain of the transistor VT2 to zero.

On figs shows the resulting values of the light intensity VEI and OEI for two characteristic cases of smooth braking with stopping and sudden braking, shown in figv. In the first case, the braking process begins with exposure to the brake system drive (point A). A-B - response time of the brake system. B-D - increase in deceleration through point C (first predetermined deceleration level), D-M - decrease in deceleration (until the vehicle stops). Point N is the moment the brake pedal is released after stopping. The case of sudden braking is characterized by the onset of exposure to the brake system drive (point A1 and an increase in the deceleration from point B1 through points C1, D1, E1 (respectively the 1st, 2nd and 3rd (mth) deceleration levels). On figs shows the corresponding graphs of the change in light intensity, the dashed line - without dynamic correction, the solid line with dynamic correction.

It is obvious that the technical result shown in Fig. 7c can be obtained by at least several options for constructing a circuit that can contain various, including analog and (or) digital active, passive and (or) logical elements and connections with each other friend and with well-known elements, including light sources.

The operation of the Device ..., made in accordance with the embodiment shown in Fig. 8, is characterized in that the VEI 1.5 can be additionally turned on without an OEI when a signal is received about the need for braking and (or) when a signal is applied to activate the vehicle's brake system from the device (radar) - 8, for example, through the input C1 of the control circuit -5, see Figs. 3, 4, 8.

In addition, when registering with the sensor - 4 achievements and exceeding the deceleration level corresponding to emergency braking (for example, m-th or 3rd), unlike the previous options, the rear fog lights turn on in parallel with the inclusion of the corresponding OEI, for example, OEI 1.4 - 1/4 or rear fog lights - 1/4 in conjunction with the -1/7 beep in continuous mode. This is possible due to the connections of the control circuit -5 with light sources - 1/4 of the rear fog lights - 1/4 or of the rear fog lights - 1/4 and the sound signal source - 1/7 directly and (or) indirectly (through the unit - 7 automatic and manual activation of the alarm signal and light (and sound) sources supplementing it. This can also be seen in Fig. 9

An alarm signal combining a pulsed synchronous mode of luminescence of lanterns - 1/5 direction indicators and light sources supplementing it - OEI and VEI of a lantern - 1 (lanterns 1 or 1 and 1/1 or 1 and 1/2) Devices ..., rear fog lights - 1/4, headlights 1/6 and sound 1/7 with the frequency adopted for the alarm signal can be turned on and off only manually at the same time using one common button Kn1, see Fig. 9. However, the operation of the automatic and manual alarm triggering unit 7 should be considered in more detail.

In the initial state, all relays are de-energized, the position of their contacts corresponds to that shown in Fig.9. From the initial state, using the appropriate switches (Kl3-Kl7), you can turn on lighting devices. It should be noted, however, that the brake light switch, as well as its switching circuit, is shown conventionally by a dashed line, and the tone-signal switch - Kl7 is not needed. In this mode, due to the connection of block 7 with control circuit 5 (via input L), see Fig. 4, at the time of reaching and exceeding the upper predetermined deceleration level, in addition to all OEI and VEI, the rear fog lights 1/4 are lit and the continuous audible signal 1/7 is turned on.

To turn on the alarm, the Cl3 switch is closed. In this case, the current flows through the circuit: "+" on-board network - relay relay-breaker RP - Kl3 contacts - normally closed contacts 1Р6 - turn signal lights 1/5 in pulse mode with a frequency set by the RP, Shutdown - by opening Kl3.

Automatic activation of the alarm occurs when one of the sensors of block 6 (Fig. 8) registers the start of the accident or when a signal about the inevitability of the accident arrives at the control circuit 5, and from it to the input M of block 7 (Fig. 9). As a result, the signal passes through resistors R23-R27 to the control electrodes of the thyristors VD24-VD28, respectively, while all thyristor switches open and remain open, providing current flow through parallel circuits: “+” of the on-board network - normally closed contacts of the buttons Кн3-Кн7 - the anode-cathode of the thyristors VD24-VD28, respectively, through the normally closed contacts 1Р5-5Р5 of the relay P5, then through the contacts 1Р6-5Р6 of the relay P6 (which is controlled by the multivibrator MV2 via a similar circuit, including however normally closed contacts 2Р4 of the relay Р 4, MV2, diode VD33 - “-” of the on-board network) for light devices 1/5, 1/2, 1/4, 1/6 and the sound signal 1/7, see Fig. 8. The operation of the multivibrator MV2 and, accordingly, the switching of the contacts 1Р6-5Р6 of the relay P6 provides a synchronous pulsed synchronous mode for the illumination of the direction indicators 1/5 (emergency signal), brake lights 1/2, rear fog lights 1/4, headlights 1/6 and sound sirens 1/7 with the frequency set by the multivibrator MV2, i.e. enlarged. At the same time, thanks to the outputs C, D, E, F, K and communication with the corresponding inputs of the control circuit 5, the OEI and VEI of the lamp 1 (lamps 1 and 1/1) will be lit simultaneously.

General shutdown of this mode is carried out by pressing the button Kn2, separate - buttons Kn3-Kn7, respectively. In the first case, through the relay P5 and its contacts 1P5-5P5, which, opening, interrupt the anode power supply circuits of the thyristors VD24-VD28. The same holds for individual thyristors with separate tripping. It should be noted that in the moments of pauses between pulses this will not happen, because sufficient currents flow through the resistors R28-R32 to keep the thyristors open.

General manual activation of the alarm in extreme conditions is done by pressing the button Kn1. In this case, as with the automatic switching on of the control electrodes of all thyristors, including VD28.1, a pulse will pass, after which they will remain on and the circuit will work as if it was turned on automatically. The difference is that the pulse repetition rate is set by the multivibrator MV1, which in this case is fed by the circuit: “+” of the on-board network - normally closed contacts 6Р5 - closed contacts 1Р4 and through the thyristor VD28.1, which opens when the button Kn2 is pressed. At the same time, the multivibrator MV2 is disconnected by the open contacts 2P4.

When the Kn2 button is pressed, all the lights and the sound signal are turned off, and the circuit returns to its original state.

When performing (shifting) at least a portion of the VEI light sources relative to the OEI in the lantern (s) of the Device ... in accordance with Fig. 10, the increased efficiency of using both of these is manifested in that the nature of the luminaire of the lantern (lanterns) makes it possible to determine the presence of the Device ... on the vehicle, even after skipping the start and development of braking (deceleration), i.e. already during emergency braking when all the light emitting diodes and light emitting diodes are lit. In addition, with the shown versions of the execution (placement) of VEI relative to the OEI, they can be perceived as elements of the slowdown scale at large distances when indicating both small and large decelerations.

An analysis of the functioning of the claimed devices as a whole and element-wise allows us to state that the developed technical solutions provide a new technical result both in the form of devices and methods characterized by processes for monitoring the parameters of movement, braking, deceleration and emergency situations, as well as controlling the light-signaling modes, adequately relevant to emerging situations.
