Definitions
- the present invention refers to a vehicle braking indication system, consisting of an electronic system for managing signals of real speed and engine revolutions and a segment of lights, which allow, by proportionality (managed by the electronic system) between the actual loss of speed of the vehicle and the amount-speed of progression of the lighting of lights (converging or diverging) of two segments of lights (that make up the total segment) located at the rear of the vehicle, transmit to the other drivers quickly Information on: the actual loss of speed due to action on the braking system or abrupt retention of the engine, type of braking being carried out (abrupt or progressive) and the final state of movement or rest in which the vehicle remains.
- the brake system of a vehicle has the mission of moderating, or stopping, its running and the brake lights to indicate to other drivers that this system has been activated, but in any mechanical manual or driving vehicles we can read, with various expressions, the following concept: "the best brake for a vehicle is its engine", applied both to the descent of long slopes and to other situations (entry or exit of curves, help from the braking, loss of the braking system etc.) and yet for other drivers, this type of braking (which can cause a sudden loss of speed) is only subjectively appreciated for the relative variation between the positions of the vehicles.
- the current vehicle brake indicators are limited to advising other drivers that the braking system has been activated but not with what intensity and therefore do not give any information on the effective reduction in speed that occurs, in what time frame is it taking place (sudden or soft braking) and the final state of movement or rest of the vehicle.
- the problem is that the information received about the actual loss of speed of the preceding vehicle and its final state of movement is insufficient, subjective and in many cases late.
- the brake lights In certain visibility conditions (fog) the brake lights must increase in intensity to be as visible, at least, as the position lights when they are operating in the fog position.
- P9002441 and others referred to both braking indicators by means of intermittent oscillations, flashes of the stop light, variation of the intensity or rhythm of the brake light proportionally to the deceleration, indicators with memory of the amount of initial braking requested, as to various systems to detect sudden accelerations and decelerations.
- the present patent comes to solve the transmission to other drivers of the necessary information in any type of braking and in any environmental or lighting condition, providing information on the loss of speed that the brake system, or the engine retention produce, how quickly it occurs (if the braking is abrupt, smooth or total) and in what final state the vehicle is (driving or stopped), quickly and easily understood.
- the importance of the loss of speed of a vehicle depends on the speed with which it is circulating at the time of braking (losing on the highway at 10 km / h when driving at 120 km / h does not have the same importance as losing the same speed when driving in the city or caravan at 50 km / h) and the speed with which this loss occurs (since it indicates whether the braking is sudden or progressive).
- the wheel speed signal can be obtained: from the ABS system, from an optical reader, or install any of the multiple systems that allow us to know the speed of the wheel (rotameters, May effect, anemometers, etc.).
- the engine rpm signal can also be obtained: from the alternator, rev counter, ignition coil, optical reader, suction anemometer, etc.
- the braking indication system consists of a total segment (across the rear of the vehicle body or the rear glass of the vehicle) that can have a fixed initial ignition zone at both ends (whatever the loss speed and type of braking), which therefore comes on when acting on the brake pedal or braking for retention and is independent of the braking parameters (works as a conventional brake light) and on each side, a segment of ignition proportional to the braking parameters, controlled by a microprocessor through a braking program.
- a reflector, or any type of indicator or the ambient light sensor itself
- the speed with which the lights come on towards (or from) the central indicator is directly proportional to the actual loss with which the vehicle loses speed per unit of time and the number of lights that come on is to the actual loss of speed in Absolute values.
- the progression speed of the ignition and the number of lights that come on gives quick information on how quickly speed is lost and what final speed is reached (compared to the speed that was being traveled) and therefore how much time is left to stop completely.
- the indication stays on while the brake pedal is being actuated and the system acts with a delay, with respect to the lights turning off, so that if the brake pedal is repeatedly actuated, the system responds to the initial series (and not to each of the instantaneous speeds corresponding to each press of the brake).
- the braking indication system is controlled by a microprocessor that reads the signal delivered by an analog-digital converter, when indicated by interruptions generated by the brake pedal or the r.p.m. of the motor and are completed by an ambient light sensor that (by means of the LED driver) determines in a directly proportional way, during the braking indication, the intensity of light emitted by them and a switch, in the case of fog, which Disconnects the ambient light sensor and gives the brake indicator lights the maximum intensity.
- S-l Wheel speed signal.
- S-2 Brake pedal signal.
- S-3 RPM signal the motor.
- A.S Signal Conditioners.
- DV Diverter.
- IRQ-P1 Priority 1 interruption.
- IRQ-P2 Priority 2 interrupt.
- MCP Microprocessor
- L Reflective or ambient light sensor
- a signal from the shunt (DV) is produced when the system is idle, due to an instantaneous peak of engine revolutions when acting on the gear change, this causes a lower priority interruption (IRQ-P2) in the microprocessor (MCP ) so it reads the digital wheel speed signal from the analog digital converter (CAD) and processes it according to the "brake indication" program and cuts the indication when the wheel speed increases or remains constant.
- IRQ-P2 lower priority interruption
- the "braking indication" program works the same in both cases, so that for example if the variable ignition part (S) of each segment of lights in the vehicle is made up of 20 lights and the vehicle is circulating at 120 km / h, when acting on the brake system or making a reduction with the change, the program illuminates the two fixed ignition ends (E) of each segment while setting the ignition series corresponding to this speed (120 Km / h), the progression sensitivity of this series is obtained by dividing the instantaneous speed read by the number of LEDs in each segment (20), and processing the continuous signal that it receives from the analog-digital converter (CAD) Regarding this sensitivity, this determines the quantity and speed of ignition, so that it will light the lights of the variable zone (S) as the speed, during braking, goes through 114, 108, 102,,
- the sensitivity that can be given to the system depends solely on the number of lights that make up each segment (the more lights per segment, the more sensitivity to speed variation).
- the microprocessor selects the ignition series corresponding to the initial speed at that moment, but the system turns off the signal reached when the brake pedal is no longer acted upon, with a determined delay (for example 3 sec.). In this way, if during braking your foot is lifted from the brake pedal for a few moments and you step on it again, all the lights that were already on will remain on before you stop operating the brake pedal and the corresponding lights will come on. successive loss of speed that has occurred during those moments and the subsequent ones. If the wheel speed is zero, when the brake system is actuated all the lights come on, in the fixed area plus that of the two segments.
- the intensity of light emitted by the LEDs (E and S) is controlled by the ambient light sensor (L) and the LED driver (D.L), in direct proportion to the ambient light conditions.
- a switch makes it possible to eliminate the control of the ambient light sensor and provide the set of lights (E and S) the maximum light intensity in the event of fog.
