Abstract

A car vehicle or a moving machine unit is equipped with a course indicator, i.e. a signal light indicating the advancing direction. For example, a tail lamp is formed by segmenting equally and linearly; and when it operates as the signal light of the course indicator, it is lighted continuously to be sequential in the direction pointed by the segmented light emitting portions. Unlike a conventional indicator which is simply lighted or flickered, the tail lamp presents an easy-to-recognize indication and is good in design.

Background art

The conventional direction lights and stop signal lights or the taillight indicator lights and the reverse lights, which are equipped in both conventional automobiles, are display devices that only turn on or blink. When both vehicles turn right or left or change course, the corresponding yellow direction indicator lights blink yellow, and when the vehicle stops, the brake lights red light lights left and right, and at night When the vehicle is moving, the red light, which is always the taillight, is dimly lit, the reverse light, which is the white light, is lit brightly when traveling backward, or the yellow light is blinking left and right as a hazard lamp when the vehicle is stopped. The tail lamps are turned on and off in accordance with each method, and the signal lights and indicator lights indicate the movement of the vehicle and how it is going to operate, or the surrounding vehicles share the power. is there.

Nowadays, LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are increasingly used in place of conventional bulb lamps for the lights and signal lights or sign lights that vehicles are equipped with. LEDs are long-lived compared to pulp lamps, saving power, and are compact and lightweight, making them ideal for display devices. Disclosure of the invention

The object of the present invention is that the tail lamps or general route signal lights or signage devices, etc., equipped on both automobiles are of the minimum necessary size and can be easily divided. Unlike a display device in which the lamp color of the taillight is limited by the pulp lamp color or surface lens color when the bulb lamp that is a conventional method is a constituent element, a full-color LED capable of full-color display is used. When it is used as a component, the lamp color is not limited for each surface, so the entire display device can be downsized while ensuring a large display surface during lighting operation. It is preferable to set a new display method and display standard within a range that does not become more gorgeous than necessary. . Brief Description of Drawings

A lighting circuit device may be used. The tail light setting unit 211 is a setting changeover switch that is installed on the center console panel of the driver's seat or around the steering wheel so that the driver can switch the operation setting of the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5. Each component must be formed to have heat resistance and impact resistance as in-vehicle equipment.

FIG. 3 is a table showing the operation of the tail lamps 5 of two common car vehicles. Broadly divided into daytime and nighttime, when both cars 1 are traveling straightforwardly ・ When the brake device is activated when traveling straight ・ When turning right and left ・ When operating the braking device when turning right and left ・ When traveling backwards ・ Playing when traveling backwards When the device is activated, tail tailors are divided in each case, such as when a noise dwelling operation is performed. The light of the tail lamp 5 required for the tail light of the car 1 is the red light of the tail light function and the stop light function 'yellow light of the turn light function' and the white light of the reverse light function It is. In addition to the lamp colors, the lighting methods are bright lighting or flashing lighting, and bright lighting or amber lighting are classified according to the conditions for each lighting operation.

FIG. 4 shows a mounting diagram of the form of the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 according to this embodiment. In general, the taillight 5 of an automobile 1 is made of ABS resin, etc., and a body case 40 called a housing having a reflector function such as aluminum deposition on the inside 40, and 1 ^: 040 or It is composed of liquid crystal panels 46'48 and surface lenses 42 and 44 having a function of concentrating or diffusing light in a certain direction by forming into a lens shape with acrylic resin or the like.

FIG. 4 (a) shows a mounting diagram 40 showing a state in which the LED module is mounted on the housing which is the housing case of the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5. FIG. Each divided partition is formed so that the lamp colors are not mixed by a method such as partitioning with a metal plate. If the reflector is provided with a reflector function, the inside of the concave surface is subjected to aluminum vapor deposition.

FIG. 4B shows a functional lens 42 that is formed into a lens shape with an acrylic resin or the like and collects light in parallel, or! /, Or a surface lens 42 that has a function of diffusing light.

FIG. 4 (c) is a diagram showing a state in which the surface lens 42 shown in FIG. 4 (b) is mounted on the nosing 40 on which the LED module shown in FIG. 4 (a) is mounted. Actually, a method of forming the entire appearance in white, or a method of forming yellow, red, or white in white and in different colors for each of the divided light emitting portions is conceivable. The lens processing method for the surface lens 42 is determined not only from the functional aspect but also from the design aspect according to the application or vehicle shape such as concentric circles, lattices or equidistant lines.

Fig. 4 (d) and Fig. 4 (e) show the case where a liquid crystal panel is used instead of an LED, and Fig. 4 (d) shows the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 divided into several parts. Fig. 4 (e) shows a split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 on mounting. FIG. 49 is a mounting diagram 48 showing a display method in which the tail light control unit 210 forms without division and softly divides and displays on one liquid crystal panel surface 48. Even when the liquid crystal panel is a constituent element, the surface lens 42 shown in FIG. 4 (b) and FIG. 4 (c), which has a function of diffusing the lamp light, is mounted on the front surface 48 of the liquid crystal panel. Power that is good when the lamp is in operation The LCD panel is gray in color when it is not normally lit, so it can be lit while considering the body color of the vehicle 1. When not in operation, the LCD panel 46 · 48 always displays a constant color, or the mounted surface lens 42 is formed in white, or external light is reflected by the surface lens 42 itself. In this way, a method of forming the surface lens 42 can be considered.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an LED module 50 in which several LEDs 52 are mounted, which are constituent elements when the split lighting type tail lamp 5 shown in (a) of FIGS. 1 and 4 is divided into several parts. is there. In the case of the present embodiment, the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 is divided into seven, and the LED module 50 that mounts five full color LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) 52 in each divided light emitting section is installed. Explains. The split-lit operation type tail lamp 5 differs depending on the vehicle 1 shape or vehicle 1 size, and the LED 52 characteristics to be mounted differ in the emission color and the light intensity that can be obtained from one LED 52, so that the split-lit operation type tail lamp 5 shape The power to divide the whole into several parts or the number of LEDs 52 to be installed in each divided part varies depending on the vehicle type 1, so the size and shape of the LED module board 55 or one LED The type and number of LEDs 52 installed in module 50 are not limited. In this embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a case where five full-color LEDs 52 are mounted on the LED module substrate 55 is shown as an example. The contact terminal on the housing side 40 of the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 shown in Fig. 4 (a) is joined to the LED module contact terminal 59, and the control signal from the tail light control unit 210 is supplied to each LED 52. To do. The LED module 50 is fixed to the housing 40 with several screws.

LED module 50 can be installed and removed with 58 LED module tags If the LED52 deteriorates or fails, it is not necessary to replace all the LED52s that the split-lighting operation type tail lamp 5 has, but only to replace the LED module 50 that has the failed LED52. It is a good economic LED52 mounting system. In addition to making all LED52s equipped in LED module 50 full-color LED52, it is formed as LED module 50 of single-color emission that mounts only one color of yellow LED 52 and red LED52 or white LED52, so that it can be divided lighting operation tail lamp 5 It is also possible to fix a yellow light / red light / white light and a different display light color for each divided light emitting part. At night, the red light, which is the taillight function, is always lit darkly. However, if there is a lot of heat due to the LED52 characteristics and heat dissipation measures are required, a metal LED module heatsink 57 is mounted on the back of the LED module board 52. Examine the heat dissipation route, such as the method to be used.

Nowadays, LED (Light Emitting Diode) 52 is small, high brightness, low heat generation, long life, low power consumption, low cost and progressing with time. The number of LEDs 52 to be mounted on each split light emitting unit is not limited to the number of LEDs 52. In the explanation, we explained the LED module 50 shown in Fig. 5 as an example, and the implementation form of the LED. However, when the LED52 is reliable and has a long life so that it is not necessary to consider the failure of the LED52 alone. Alternatively, when the housing 40 and the surface lens 42 are joined by hot plate welding, etc., all the LEDs 52 are equipped and formed as one LED module board 52, and some of the LEDs 52 have failed. In this case, the LED module board 52 on which all the LEDs 52 are mounted may be replaced or the divided lighting operation type tail lamp 5 may be replaced.

Even if the directional characteristics of LED52 are wide, it is around 110 to 120 degrees. Unlike conventional bulb lamps, unlike the case, there is almost no light that wraps around the rear, so the housing that is the case of the split-lit operation type tail lamp 5 Even when aluminum deposition is applied as a reflector function inside the LED, rather than the function of reflecting the LED52 light that wraps behind to the front side, It can be thought that the external appearance of the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 provided in the vehicle 1 is kept good by reflecting the light that enters the inside of the external lighting split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 during the daytime. Therefore, even when the LED module board 52 is formed integrally with the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 as a whole, the surface area of the LED module board 52 is set so that light from the outside passes inside the housing 40 which is the reflector function part. It is considered preferable to form small.

In addition, the LED 52 to be mounted is not directed toward the front side of the split-lit operation type 5 By modifying the lens processing method of the front lens 42 shown in (2), it is possible to adjust the appearance when the split-lighting operation tail lamp 5 is activated and not activated. Adjust and set several ways so that 5 is in the best condition. The explanation of the operation of the split lighting type tail lamp 5 will proceed with the lighting operation on the left side.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the case where the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 is lit by the blinker continuous lighting (yellow light) shown in FIG. 1 (b). When the driver operates the winker control switch of the winker control section 213 provided around the steering wheel of the vehicle 1, the A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, and Α7 of the split-light operation tail lamp light emitting section 211 are turned off. The operation starts from a certain initial state. The lighting operation starts from A1 on the left and right center side of vehicle 1 and lights up in order at preset time intervals from Α7 located on the left and right outermost sides of vehicle 1, and all the lights from A1 to Α7 are lit. This is a lighting method that repeats the operation of returning to the all-off state from A1 to Α7 in the initial state and then turning on again in the order of A1 power after holding for a certain time interval. On the other hand, the operation is ended when the driver performs a stop operation with the winker operation switch of the winker operation section 213 or when the steering wheel operated by the vehicle 1 to change the course returns to the straight traveling state. The turn signal function of the turn-on function tail lamp 5 is completed. Rubbing on each split light emitting part of split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 This is the case where the full-color LED 52 mounted by the LED module 50 operates in yellow with a single color light.

A1 to A2-A3-A4-A5-A6-Α7 is turned on in order, and after all lights up, it returns to the extinguished state S, each lighting time interval and extinguishing time interval are excessive Even if it is too early, it becomes too mechanical and it becomes difficult to divide. On the other hand, if it is too late, you may not realize that it is working when you see it momentarily. In addition, each operation time interval is not always constant, and there are short time intervals and long time intervals. Is set according to the size and shape of the split-lighting operation type tail lamp 5 with respect to the size of the vehicle 1. The time to keep all the lights off is 15/100 seconds, then A1 to Α2, A3, Α4, Α5, Α6, and Α7 are lit, the time interval is 7 10 0 seconds, all the way to the last Α7 In this example, the time for which is kept on is set to 70Z100 seconds.

Figure 7 shows that the split-lit tail lamp 5 does not operate as the monochromatic yellow light described in Figure 6 when operating as a turn light function blinker A1 to Α2 · A3 · Α4 · Α5 · Α6 · It is a figure for demonstrating the lighting system which operate | moves, changing a lamp color to Α7 gradually. By installing the full color LED 52 in the LED module 50, the tail light control unit 210 can operate while controlling the emission color during operation. In the present embodiment shown in Fig. 7, when the split-lighting tail lamp 5 operates as a winker, which is a turnlight function in the daytime, from 8 to 2 ^ 3 ^ 4 ^ 5 ^ 6'7 is close to white light It shows a method of lighting while gradually changing the lamp color from yellow light to deep yellow light of A7. The time interval when all lights are off is 15/100 seconds, then the time interval from 8 to 2 ^ 3 '4' Α5 · Α6 · Α7 is 7/100 seconds, everything from the last Α7 is lit As an example, the time interval for maintaining this state is 70 to 100 seconds.

In this example, the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 is explained in the case where it is divided into seven. The power ratio is divided into seven steps in order to make the power explanation easy to share. Explain in a changing manner. The driver operates the blinker control unit 213. When it is made, the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 starts operating as a turn light function blinker. It is the light color when full color LED operates from 1 to 2 '3 ^ 4' 8 5 ^ 6 ^ 7 This is a lighting operation that changes the white light and yellow light color ratios in steps of 1: 6, 2: 5, 3: 4, 4: 3, 5: 2, 6: 1, and 7: 0. . The color ratio of white light and yellow light shown as an example is for the sake of easy understanding, and it is necessary to set the LED characteristics, daytime / nighttime environmental conditions, or inside the housing 40 shown in FIG. Since the appearance when operating or not operating varies depending on the conditions such as whether to apply reflector processing or the surface lens 42 equipped, the actual color ratio of white light and yellow light is different. To adjust a certain lamp color, the taillight control unit 210 adjusts the lamp color while the chassis housing 40 and LED module 50 or the rear lens 42 are assembled and mounted on the vehicle 1 as the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5. To do.

Figure 8 shows that when the split-lighting operation type tail lamp 5 operates as a turn light function blinker, 1 to 8 '3 ^ 4' 8 5 '8 6' 7 operate with a single yellow light However, what is different from the example described in Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining the method of lighting operation while changing the brightness stepwise. In this example, when the split-lit tail lamp 5 operates as a blinker from A1 to A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, and A7, the brightness is darkest with yellow light and the light is brightest from A1. Yes This is an operation method that lights up to A7 while changing the brightness step by step. Total off time is 15/100 seconds, then the time interval from A1 to Α2, Α3, Α4, Α5, Α6, Α7 is 7/100 seconds, and all lights are on until the last Α7 The figure shows an example of 70 to 100 seconds.

There are two methods for lighting the LED 52, that is, adjusting the luminous intensity of the LED 52. One method is to change the current value. The LED52 has a problem that the luminous intensity increases when the current value is increased and the luminous intensity decreases when the current value is decreased. . The other is a method of changing the luminous intensity without changing the current value by the pulse width modulation method. By repeating the non-flowing time, the time interval between the lighting operation and the extinguishing operation is shortened to the extent that it appears to be always lit by human eyes, and the time interval and the current flow are flowing. This is a method of adjusting the light intensity by lengthening or shortening the time interval. The longer the current flows, the brighter it becomes, and the longer the current does not flow, the darker it becomes. In addition, a method of increasing or decreasing the number of LEDs 52 that are turned on is a possible method of adjusting the lighting brightness of the taillight 5 that can be divided and operated by the taillight controller 210. The optimum method is selected depending on the size or shape of the split-lighting operation type tail lamp 5 and the LED characteristics.

The light color when the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 is operated is the light color of the LED 52 or the surface lens color 42 mounted on the mounted LED module 50. In the case of the LED module 50 with a single color LED52 as a component, the light color of each split light-emitting part is limited to the LED module color 50 or the surface lens color 42 mounted. When the LED module 50 is installed, the surface lens 42 is formed in white or clear color, so that Α! 1 ^ ¾Α2 · Α3 · Α4 · Α5 · Α6 · Α7 or B1 to Β2 · Β3 · Β4 · Up to Β5, Β6 and Β7, each split lighting operation type tail lamp light emitting unit 211 can operate in full color. However, since the tail lamp 5 of the vehicle 1 is strictly defined by the laws and standards of each country, such as the light color and brightness, the operation method when the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 is operated within the standard range is lit with monochromatic light. Several operating patterns are fixedly set in the taillight control unit 210 in advance, such as the operation method, the operation method in which the lamp color changes in stages, and the operation method while changing the brightness as the brightness in each operation method. The tail light setting unit 212 can arbitrarily switch the operation method.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an operation method when the split lighting operation type tail lamp 5 operates as a blinker at night. When the vehicle 1 travels at night, the red light, which is the taillight function, needs to be lit in the dark at the rear of the vehicle. Unlike daytime, separate lighting operation type tele / re-lamp 5 Α1Α 及び 2 and Β1 部分部分 2 are tail lights. It is a figure which shows the state which act | operated the blinker in the state which always lights up red and dark as a car.

The blinker is activated with the initial state A1 and A2 in red and dark. In the present embodiment of FIG. 9, the operation method in which the lamp color described in FIG. 7 is changed is shown. Power Similar to the operation described in FIG. 7, the full color 1 ^ from 8 3 to 8 4 '8 5' 8 6 ^ 7 The 052 lights up with the color ratio of white light and yellow light changed to 1: 4, 2: 3, 3: 2, 4: 1, 5: 0 in stages. The blinker function part from A3 to A7 is fully extinguished for 15 100 seconds, then from 83 to 8'4'5'6 ^ 7 is lit 7-100 seconds, A3 It is a figure which shows the time to hold | maintain a lighting state from all to A7 as an example for 70/100 second.

FIG. 10 shows the operation of the brake device operating unit 215 when the split lighting type tail lamp 5 described in FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, or FIG. 9 is operating as a turn light function blinker. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the lighting operation when the brake device control unit 204 is activated, and instantly when the driver operates the brake device operation unit 215 when operating as a turn light function winker. The lighting operation shown in Fig. 10 is switched. The turn light function blinker and the stoplight function stoplight are turned on at the same time. The blinker operation, which is a turnlight function regardless of whether it is nighttime or daytime, differs from the blinker that only blinks and lights in the conventional method. Since it occupies almost all parts, it is possible to form a brake light part that is lit in red with a stoplight function separately from the turnlight function part. As an example, a method for instantaneously switching to an operation method that simultaneously displays both the function and the stoplight function will be described.

When the driver operates the brake device operation unit 215, it is divided as shown in Fig. 10. As the stoplight function part of the lighting operation tail lamp 5, the left side A1 Α2 · A3 · A4 · 45 and the right side Bl Bl2 · Β3 · Β4 · Red lights up to 赤色 5. And left side A The 6 and A7 parts turn on and blink yellow. Stoplight function A1 to Α2, Α3, Α4, Α5 and B1 to Β2, Β3, Β4, Β5 are lit in red. Set the time interval of Α6 and Α7, which are minutes of yellow light, to 70/100 seconds, and set the brake foot pedal, which is the brake device operation unit 215 that the driver equips at the driver's seat to the OFF state, to the brake device control unit Until the brake operation is deactivated at 204, the stoplight function lighting state and the turnlight function lighting state are continuously repeated with respect to the stoplight function lighting state. When the driver operates the brake device in the non-operating state with the brake device operating unit 215, the state described in FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8 or FIG. 9 is the state before operating the brake device. Return.

When the split lighting type tail lamp 5 is operated, the turn light function and the stop light function, or the tail light function or the reverse light function are respectively operated from left and right A1 to A7 and B1 to B7. If the LED module 50 equipped with a single color light emitting LED 52 that is fixedly set to any one is mounted on each split light emitting unit 211, the left A1 and right B1 parts in FIG. This is a method of forming a white light single color LED module 50 equipped with a white light LED.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the case where the split-lit operation-type tail lamp 5 operates as a yellow blinking hazard lamp in the daytime. Left side A1 to Α2, Α3, Α4-Α5, Α6, Α7 and right side Bl to Β2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7 are all off and left side A1 to A7 and right side B1 to B7 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a hazard light lighting operation in which all of the above are repeatedly lit in yellow light at intervals of 50Z 100 seconds and 70 100 seconds, respectively.
