1 is a view showing an installation of a crosswalk street lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention by way of example, Figures 2 and 3 schematically illustrate the configuration of a streetlight for a crosswalk according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 is a perspective view, Figure 4 is a side view schematically showing the configuration of a street light for a crosswalk according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The crosswalk street light 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be installed around the crosswalk 10 to recognize the situation of the crosswalk 10 more accurately to pedestrians and vehicle drivers, and to promote the safety of pedestrians. As an apparatus, as shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus may be installed at a neighboring sidewalk 20 of the crosswalk 10, and may be installed at each of both sides of the crosswalk 10. The crosswalk street light 30 includes a frame case 100, an LED lamp 200, and a blocking plate 300.

The frame case 100 forms a basic structure of the entire streetlight device, and is installed in the sidewalk 20 adjacent to the crosswalk 10 and is formed in a case shape to accommodate other components therein. The frame case 100 is formed to include a main body 110 disposed in the vertical direction, and an inclined portion 120 bent to be inclined in the direction of the road 11 on the top of the main body 110, such an inclination The LED lamp 200 is mounted to the unit 120. Therefore, since the frame case 100 is integrally bent, the external aesthetics are improved, and the LED lamp 200 is mounted on the inclined portion 120 that is inclined in the crosswalk 10 direction. It is possible to more brightly illuminate the crosswalk 10 in the vehicle to keep the visibility of the driver and pedestrian more stable.

Meanwhile, the frame case 100 may be configured in such a manner that the frame case 100 is installed on the sidewalk 20 through a separate base plate 130 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Alternatively, the body of the frame case 100 is different. The part 110 may be configured to be installed in the sidewalk 20 by partially embedding the sidewalk 20.

As described above, the LED lamp 200 is mounted on the inclined portion 120 of the frame case 100 so as to emit light in the direction of the crosswalk 10. The lamp is applied to the LED, unlike the lamp used in the general street lamp, the brightness is excellent, it is possible to illuminate the crosswalk 10 area relatively brighter, energy saving effect is also excellent. In addition, since the LED lamp 200 has a directivity in the nature of the LED light, even if the LED lamp 200 is bright, since the illumination light shines in the longitudinal direction of the crosswalk 10, the width of the crosswalk 10 Since the illumination light does not shine directly into the driver's view of the vehicle crossing in the direction, it does not disturb the driver's view of the vehicle and at the same time provides a safer walking condition for the pedestrian.

The blocking plate 300 is rotatably coupled to the main body 110 of the frame case 100 and protrudes to be horizontally disposed in the direction of the road 11 from the frame case 100 or the main body of the frame case 100 ( It works in such a way that it is folded back so that it is arranged in the same vertical direction as 110. The blocking plate 300 is configured to prevent the vehicle from entering the crosswalk, and operates to protrude horizontally from the sidewalk 20 in the direction of the road 11 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. More attention is drawn to the driver to prevent the vehicle from entering the crosswalk 10 area and to allow pedestrians to cross the crosswalk 10 more safely.

The blocking plate 300 is configured to fold and pivot about the rotation axis 310 formed in the frame case 100, as shown in Figure 2, the blocking plate 300 is rotated in the horizontal direction and crosswalk 10 When protruding in the direction, it is preferable that a separate fluorescent display 320 is formed on the blocking plate 300 so that the vehicle driver can easily identify it from a distance.

The fluorescent display unit 320 may be formed of a pattern using a fluorescent paint so as to shine brightly by the lights of the vehicle at night, for example, as shown in FIG. It can be formed by various road marking patterns. The fluorescent display 320 is also brightly shined by the lights of the vehicle, the street light for a crosswalk according to an embodiment of the present invention, because the LED lamp 200 is mounted on the frame case 100, as described above, the LED Since it is also brightly shined by the illumination light by the lamp 200, the driver can easily identify it from a distance.

In addition, the fluorescent display 320 may be formed to emit light by installing a separate lighting lamp (not shown) in addition to the form using such a fluorescent paint, it is easier for the vehicle driver through the blocking plate 300 May be identified.

On the other hand, it is preferable that such a blocking plate 300 is controlled to operate automatically, for this purpose, a blocking drive unit for rotating the blocking plate 300 in the frame case 100 as shown in Figs. 400 is mounted, and a separate control unit 500 for controlling the operation state of the blocking drive unit 400 may be mounted.

The blocking drive unit 400 may be applied as a driving motor capable of rotating driving the rotation shaft 310 of the blocking plate 300 as shown in FIG. 2. That is, since the blocking plate 300 is rotatably coupled around the rotation shaft 310, the blocking plate 300 may be configured to operate in such a manner as to rotate the rotation shaft 310. Of course, in addition to this manner, it may be operated in a manner of pivoting the blocking plate 300 through a separate link device or various power transmission elements.

The control unit 500 is configured to control the operation state of the blocking drive unit 400, the operating state of the blocking plate 300 is configured, this control unit 500 is a crosswalk when there is a crosswalk traffic light (not shown) It may be configured to control the operation of the block driving unit 400 in conjunction with the traffic light.

That is, in general, the traffic light is installed on the pedestrian crossing on the road or national road in the city center, and the pedestrians are guided to safely cross the pedestrian crossing according to the traffic lights, so that the control unit 500 controls the pedestrian traffic light. Electrically connected with the blocking plate 300 may control the blocking driving unit 400 to operate in conjunction with the crosswalk traffic light.

For example, if the crosswalk traffic light turns into a blue light for pedestrians to cross, at the same time or slightly later, the blocking plate 300 is projected horizontally, and the crosswalk traffic light turns into a red light for pedestrians to cross, At the same time or slightly later than this, the blocking plate 300 may be controlled to operate vertically. At this time, the blocking plate 300 may be sequentially operated slightly later than the operation time of the crosswalk traffic light, which is to prevent the vehicle from colliding with the blocking plate 300 or to ensure a safe pedestrian walking. .

On the other hand, the frame case 100 may be equipped with a separate operation button 600 that can be operated by the pedestrian as shown in Figure 3, the control unit 500 is blocked in accordance with the operation of the operation button 600 The blocking driver 400 may be operated to control the plate 300 to protrude horizontally. In this case, the braille display 610 may be mounted at an adjacent portion of the operation button 600 for the convenience of the visually impaired.

As described above, crosswalk traffic lights are generally installed on crosswalks such as urban roads or national roads, but there are many cases where such crosswalk traffic lights are not installed on narrow roads such as local roads. In addition, pedestrian crossings may not be provided in areas where traffic and pedestrians are rare, even in urban roads. Therefore, when there is no crosswalk traffic light as such, the blocking plate 300 may perform a kind of traffic light function.

That is, in a region in which pedestrians rarely pass, separate operation buttons are mounted on the crosswalk traffic light and operate only when the pedestrian traffic is mounted on the frame case 100, similar to the traffic light in which the crosswalk traffic light turns into a pedestrian signal. When the button 600 is operated, the control unit 500 may operate the blocking drive unit 400 according to the operation signal of the operation button 600 to control the blocking plate 300 to operate in the horizontally projecting direction. As described above, the blocking plate 300 protruding horizontally by the operation of the operation button 600 is operated again once again by operating the operation button 600 mounted on the frame case 100 opposite the crosswalk 10 again. It may be configured to be a rotary folding, otherwise it may be controlled by the control unit 500 to automatically rotate the folding after a predetermined time.

Therefore, in the crosswalk 10 without the crosswalk traffic light, the pedestrian can safely cross the crosswalk 10 by operating the operation button 600 to operate the blocking plate 300.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the frame case 100 includes a time display unit for displaying a predetermined time until returning to the original state after the blocking plate 300 is operated to protrude horizontally. 700 may be formed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the time display unit 700 may be formed on the rear and side surfaces of the frame case 100 so that the pedestrian and the vehicle driver can easily identify all of these predetermined times. By displaying the scheduled return time of the blocking plate 300 through this, it is possible to prevent the pedestrian from entering the crosswalk too late to provide a safer crosswalk walking condition.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, a separate auxiliary blocking plate 300 ′ may be further mounted on the main body 110 of the frame case 100. The secondary blocking plate 300 ′ is rotatably coupled to the main body 110 of the frame case 100 so that the auxiliary blocking plate 300 ′ protrudes horizontally from the frame case 100 along the boundary of the crosswalk 10 and the sidewalk 20. In addition, the blocking plate 300 may be configured to interlock with each other in a manner of being folded.

That is, the blocking plate 300 protrudes horizontally in the direction of the road to prevent the vehicle from entering the crosswalk, whereas the auxiliary blocking plate 300 ′ alternately folds with the blocking plate 300 and the pedestrian is unauthorized. As a function to prevent entering the crosswalk.

The auxiliary blocking plate 300 ′ may be configured to operate in conjunction with the blocking plate 300 through a separate link device (not shown). Alternatively, the auxiliary blocking plate 300 ′ may be independently operated through a separate driving device (not shown). It may be configured.

Therefore, the crosswalk street light according to an embodiment of the present invention can further protect the safety of pedestrians through the auxiliary blocking plate 300 ', thereby further preventing the risk of an accident in the crosswalk.

On the other hand, the crosswalk street lamp 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a camera 900 that can photograph the crosswalk 10 area on the inclined portion of the frame case 100, as shown in Figs. ) Can be mounted. The camera 900 may be applied to an infrared camera or the like, which is easy to shoot at night, but in the present invention, since the LED lamp 200 is mounted on the frame case 100, even if the infrared camera for night shooting is not applied, the crosswalk ( 10) The area can be taken smoothly.

When a vehicle accident occurs on the crosswalk 10 through the camera 900, the situation of the accident can be more accurately understood, and pedestrians can be protected from crimes such as hit and run accidents. By photographing the crosswalk 10 area in time, the security function in the area near the crosswalk 10 may also be performed.

In addition, the crosswalk street lamp 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be further equipped with an emergency phone 800 to be used when an emergency occurs, as shown in Figure 3, through which an accident or dangerous situation When there is a pedestrian or vehicle driver may quickly request help from the police station or fire station through the emergency telephone (800).
