Description

DEVICE FOR INDICATING IALIGCHY FREE PRIVATE

PLACE IN THE NASSIAZHIR TRANSNORTH SALON

The utility model relates to optical signaling devices for indicating occupied places and their monitoring, namely, devices for indicating the availability of privileged seats in the passenger compartment (tram, trolley, bus, etc.).

Currently, informing passengers-privileges (passengers entitled to free travel in public transport) about the availability of privileged seats is carried out by the conductor, and often by the driver, which distracts the latter from his main job, unjustifiably creates a tense psychological situation during boarding. Beneficiary passengers (which is usually pensioners, people with disabilities and people with poor health) can learn about the presence or absence of privileged seats only when they try to enter the salon, while experiencing certain inconvenience, physical and psychological stress if there are none.

A device for remote indication of the presence of limited positions, containing a pulse generator, light indicators, control panel, switch, display keys and decoupling elements A.S. USSR No. 1061167, IPC G 08 B 5/38, 1986

Such devices are designed to control limited positions, such as: components that are stored in a warehouse, hotel rooms, transport seats, payment deadlines, etc. A disadvantage of the known device is its complexity, therefore, it cannot be used to indicate the availability of privileged seats in the passenger compartment.

It is also known and selected as a prototype a device for signaling the availability of free spaces, containing an information board with binary information cells, a control panel with “yes and no,” address block, time relay, and A.s. USSR No. 532874, IPC G 08 V 5/22, 1976

The disadvantages of the known device are low reliability and low information content, as it gives information about the availability of free space in the form of "there or not, and not about their number.

The objective of the utility model is to create a device that is simple in design, easy to use, and reliable in operation to indicate the availability of privileged seats in the passenger compartment for the purpose of informing passengers at a stop in advance about the specific amount of available seats, as well as controlling these seats in the passenger compartment .

To achieve this objective, a device is proposed for indicating the availability of seats, mainly preferential, in passenger transport, comprising a power supply, an information input unit and at least one light panel, in which the light panel is made with a digital indication of available / occupied seats and the information input unit is made in the form of a remote control with two switches connected via summation and switching units to a light panel, with one switch being used for summing and the other for I subtracting the number of seats at the exit and entrance of passengers.

For a more convenient perception of information, the scoreboard is made in the form of an alphanumeric LED indicator.

To simplify the design of the device and use it in places with a small passenger flow, for example, in rural areas, the light panel is made mechanical in the form of a case with a window, inside of which there is a disk with numbers printed on its periphery and equipped with an electromechanical drive of reverse step rotation connected via a control unit with remote control.

To increase the information content and provide a view from a long distance outside the cabin and inside it, the device contains several light displays installed in the passenger compartment of the passenger transport visible to passengers, the conductor and the driver.

To provide more reliable information, the console is installed at the workplace of the conductor and / or driver.

For convenience in operation, the remote control is installed at the entrance door of the transport with the ability to supply a control signal to the display using the self-service method.

To ensure the compactness of the device, light displays are installed in one housing at an angle to each other.

To increase the reliability and convenience of the device, the remote control is designed to be triggered when plastic cards of passengers are entered into it.

To simplify installation, the design of the device provides the use of connectors for electrical wiring with the ability to quickly and easily change the length of the latter if necessary, changing the location of the scoreboard.

A comparative analysis of the device with the prototype and with other solutions in the given field of technology shows that the set of features characterizing it is unknown from the existing level of technology, on the basis of which it can be concluded that the proposed solution meets the criterion of the novelty utility model.

The compliance of the proposed solution with the criterion of a utility model, industrial applicability is evident from the following example of a specific implementation of the device.

The utility model is illustrated by a drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a functional diagram of a device for indicating the availability of free privileged seats in a vehicle with an alphanumeric LED display, Fig. 2 shows the main elements of the mechanical design of a light display.

1- scoreboard;

2- switching unit;

3- block summation;

4- remote control;

9th disk.

The device (see Figure 1) contains a power supply (not shown), for example, a car battery, a display board 1 with an alphanumeric display, connected through a switching unit 2 and a summing unit 3 to the remote control 4. The display 1 contains LEDs 5 that form a constantly lit lettering inscription.

for example, “Free preferential seats and a changing digital inscription corresponding to the number of free (usually limited) preferential seats in the passenger compartment (for example, from“ 5 to “O). The remote control 4 is located in the working area of the conductor and contains two switches 6 and 7. The switch 6 is for summing up, and the switch 7 is for subtracting the digital readings of the scoreboard 1 when vacating or occupying privileged places, respectively.

In an embodiment of the device with a mechanical light panel (see FIG. 2), the latter comprises a housing 8 with a window, inside of which a disk 9 with numbers printed on its periphery and equipped with an electromechanical reversible step rotation drive connected to

through a control unit with a remote control (not shown).

The operation of the device is as follows.

Upon entering the passenger-passenger cabin, the conductor presses the switch 7 on the remote control 4. The signal from the remote control 4 is sent to block 3. Block 3 subtracts one from the number of free places and supplies a control signal to the input of switching block 2. Block 2 carries out switching (inclusion) of the group of LEDs 5 in a combination corresponding to the image on the display 1 of the digit of the result of the subtraction.

When leaving the passenger-benefit passenger compartment, the conductor presses the switch 6. Block 3 increases the previous result by one and supplies a control signal to the switching unit 2. Block 2 commutes the LEDs 5 in a new combination, corresponding to the image on the scoreboard 1 digits of the result of addition.

The use of the utility model provides the creation of a device that is simple in design, convenient in operation, and reliable in operation to indicate the availability of privileged seats in the passenger compartment for the purpose of informing passengers at a stop in advance about the specific amount of available seats, as well as controlling these seats in the passenger compartment . This allows us to solve the moral problem for the benefit passengers, which is acutely social and relevant for many regions of the Russian Federation. Distinctive features of the proposed device are high information content and accuracy of information.
