Description

Display module with connection and control with road riding tools

The present invention relates to a display module, in particular to a display module worn on the body and connected to a road riding tool by wire or wirelessly, and the display of the display module is controlled according to the turning direction of the road riding tool.

An electric bicycle is a lightweight vehicle that uses batteries as its main energy source. It looks similar to a bicycle or motorcycle and is a type of motorized bicycle. Some models also have pedals, chains, and brake systems, and can use human power as an auxiliary power source (called an electric assist bicycle).

Generally, electric bicycles are not equipped with headlights or turn signals in their structural design. Instead, reflective strips or reflective panels are installed on the electric bicycles. When riding at night, the headlights of the car are used to shine on the reflective panels or reflective strips to inform the driver that there is an electric bicycle or cyclist in front. If the reflective panel or reflective strip is damaged, and the clothes worn by the rider have no reflective effect, the driver will not be able to clearly see whether there is an electric bicycle or cyclist, which may cause driving safety problems.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the industry has designed many turn signal light structures and headlight structures for riders to purchase and install themselves, or clothing or trims with reflective effects for riders to wear, so as to improve the safety of riders riding at night.

Although these safety devices can improve the safety of riders riding at night, riders often forget to turn on the turn signal when turning, resulting in collision with the vehicle in front or being hit by the vehicle behind, which affects the safety of night driving. Therefore, how to reduce the frequency of forgetting to turn on the turn signal and improve driving safety is the problem to be solved by the present invention.

Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problem. The present invention installs a device that can automatically identify or sense the direction of rotation on the handlebar of a road riding tool, and transmits the signal of the identification or sensing direction of rotation to the display module in a wired or wireless manner under the processing of the control panel to display, so as to avoid the rider forgetting to turn on the turn signal, thereby improving driving safety.
