Description

Self-generating warning device and traffic vehicle including the device

This case relates to a self-generating warning device, especially a self-generating warning device suitable for a traffic vehicle and a traffic vehicle including the device.

In recent years, in response to the government's environmental protection policy of energy conservation and carbon reduction, Taiwan has set off a wave of cycling. Cycling has become a fashionable national sport. However, the number of bicycle accidents has also increased significantly, including in Europe, America and other regions around the world.

Especially at night or when driving in an area with insufficient light, rear-end collisions are more common. Because motor vehicles are equipped with brake lights to remind the rear vehicle to slow down, but the bicycle lacks the design of warning lights, or some electric bicyclists save battery power to extend the life of electric bicycles, deliberately turn off the lights, causing themselves In addition to the dangers, it also affects the safety of other people using cars. Some bicycles are equipped with lights in front of the handlebars or at the front wheels, but can only warn people and cars in the opposite direction of the bicycle. The spokes of some bicycle wheels are equipped with warning devices, which can be displayed on the wheels when riding at night. The pattern and text, however, are limited to warn people and cars on both sides, and still cannot serve as a warning to people and cars behind the bicycle.

In addition, according to European and American studies of 4,000 cyclists for a year, it was found that when using bicycle daytime lighting during the day, 19% of accidents can be reduced, and 47% of injuries and deaths to cyclists themselves can be reduced. Since this case uses a self-generating function that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, it does not consume battery power at all for day and night use, which is very suitable for use as, but not limited to, bicycles and electric bicycles as daytime running lights.

Although the rear of the bicycle of the known technical solution is provided with a warning device, the passive warning devices, such as reflectors and reflective stickers, cannot emit light by themselves, and require light to function. Active warning devices, such as battery-powered lamps, Because the battery is a consumable with a useful life, users often fail to use it because they forget to replace it, or even damage the bicycle lamps due to leakage of battery fluid, which makes the lamps unusable and causes pollution to people and the environment. Heavy metals, especially since A button mercury battery commonly used in driving, a waste battery can pollute 600,000 liters of drinking water throughout a person's life, and can destroy a 1-square-meter field, making it useless, which is neither convenient nor environmentally friendly.

In order to improve the above-mentioned shortcomings, conventional technology solutions for friction lamp design have been proposed. For example, Taiwan Patent Publication No. M325271 patent case "vehicle lighting device" is characterized by including a cantilever, a light-emitting lamp, and a power generating unit.

The power generation unit includes an induction coil group, a magnetic turntable and a roller. The induction coil group is wound along a set axis, and the rotation axis of the magnetic turntable is perpendicular to the set axis. When the wheel rotates, the roller and the magnetic turntable can be driven to rotate relative to the induction coil group, so that the induction coil group generates an inductive power supply to the Glowing lamps.

However, the above-mentioned devices still have the disadvantages that they cannot be disassembled, the lighting is unstable, the battery cannot be stored, or there is no brake warning. In addition, the location of the device, in addition to the trouble of using wiring, when the cable is not pulled, the light on one side is easily blocked by the car body, because it cannot be seen by other passersby, which affects driving safety, so this field There is an urgent need for a novel self-generating warning device.
