Description

자동차 상향등 제어 장치 및 그 제어 방법Vehicle uplight control device and control method thereof
본 발명은 자동차 상향등 제어 장치 및 그 제어 방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 자동차 상향등을 제어하기 위한 사용자의 조작으로서 비상 상황을 효과적으로 알릴 수 있는 자동차 상향등 제어 장치 및 그 제어 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a vehicle uplight control device and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a vehicle uplight control device and a control method that can effectively notify the emergency situation as a user's operation for controlling the vehicle uplight.
자동차의 비상등은 추돌 사고 예방 효과가 크지만 돌발적인 상황에서는 운전자가 신속하게 조작할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 즉, 종래의 비상등 스위치는 차량 실내의 중앙 부분이나 핸들 커버 상단 부분에 위치하고 있기 때문에 통상적인 조작이 쉽지 않으며, 특히 갑작스러운 돌발적인 상황에서는 스위치를 찾아 조작할 수 있는 시간적인 여유가 없었다.The emergency light of the car has a great effect of preventing accidents, but the driver can not operate quickly in an accidental situation. That is, the conventional emergency light switch is located in the center portion of the vehicle interior or the handle cover upper part is not easy to operate normally, especially in a sudden sudden situation there was no time to find and operate the switch.
그동안 공지되었던 자동차의 비상등에 관련된 기술로는 핸들 상부의 한 부분에 비상등 스위치를 별도로 장치하는 수단과 다기능 스위치에 비상등 스위치를 별개로 장치하는 수단, 그리고 별개의 페달 스위치를 장치하여 발로 비상등을 작동시키는 수단 등 다수의 수단이 공지되었다.Known technologies related to emergency lights in automobiles include a means for separately mounting an emergency light switch on a part of the handle, a means for separately mounting an emergency light switch on a multifunction switch, and a separate pedal switch to operate the emergency light by foot. Many means, including means, are known.
상기 공지된 수단들은 별개의 스위치를 장치해야 하는 번거로움이 있으며, 기존에 운행되고 있는 차량에 장치하려면 기계적인 구조를 변경해야 하는 불편이 있거나 장착이 불가능한 수단도 있다.The known means are cumbersome to install a separate switch, there is also the inconvenience or need not be equipped to change the mechanical structure in order to install in a vehicle that is already running.
한편, 차량의 전조등을 제어하는 장치에 관한 기술로서, 대한민국 공개특허공보 제2004-0063072호의 "차량의 전조등 및 미등 점등 장치(김영봉)"(문헌 1)에는 주변 조도에 따라 전조등과 미등을 원하는 밝기로 각각 차등적으로 점등 제어하는 차량의 전조등 및 미동 점등 장치가 개시된다. 그러나, 상기 장치는 차량의 전조등의 밝기를 조절할 수 있을 뿐 위급한 상황에서 전조등을 비상등 형태로 제어할 수 있는 방법에 대해서는 개시하고 있지 않다.On the other hand, as a technology relating to a device for controlling the headlights of the vehicle, "Korean vehicle headlight and taillight lighting device (Kim Young-bong)" (Patent 1) of the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 2004-0063072 (Document 1), the brightness desired to the headlight and taillight according to the ambient light A headlight and a fine lighting device of a vehicle for controlling lighting on differentially are disclosed. However, the device does not disclose a method of controlling the brightness of the headlights of the vehicle and controlling the headlights in the form of emergency lights in an emergency situation.
또한, 차량의 브레이크등은 운전자가 브레이크 페달을 밟으면 온(on) 되어 뒤따라오는 차량의 운전자에게 브레이크를 밟았음을 알려주는 기능을 한다. 그런데, 이러한 브레이크등은 운전자가 브레이크 페달을 밟으면 온이 되고 브레이크 페달을 놓으면 오프가 되는 단순한 기능만 수행하므로, 매우 단조로운 느낌을 줄 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 실질적으로 긴급 상황이 발생되었을 경우 뒤따라오는 차량의 운전자가 이를 정확히 인식하기 어려운 문제점이 있었다.In addition, the brake light of the vehicle is on when the driver presses the brake pedal and functions to inform the driver of the following vehicle that the brake has been applied. However, such a brake light only performs a simple function of turning on when the driver presses the brake pedal and turning off the brake pedal, thus not only giving a very monotonous feeling, but also in case of an emergency situation. There was a problem that it was difficult for the driver to recognize this correctly.
따라서, 차량에 구비된 핸들 리모콘 또는 라이트 스위치를 통해 비상등 또는 브레이크등의 동작을 용이하게 제어할 수 있는 방법에 대한 필요성이 요구되고 있다.Therefore, there is a need for a method of easily controlling the operation of an emergency light or a brake light through a steering wheel remote controller or a light switch provided in a vehicle.

You can also flash the brake light as fast as the set number of times.
도 2는 본 발명의 실시예에 따라 자동차 상향등 제어를 위한 라이트 스위치(22)를 나타내는 도면이다. 도 2를 참조하면, 자동차 핸들의 일측부(예컨대, 좌측 하부)에 구비되는 라이트 스위치(22)(소위, '콤비네이션 레버 스위치'로 칭함)를 조작함으로써 본 발명의 실시예에 따라 주변 차량에게 경고를 할 수가 있다.2 is a diagram illustrating a light switch 22 for controlling a vehicle uplight according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, a warning is given to neighboring vehicles according to an embodiment of the present invention by operating a light switch 22 (so-called 'combination lever switch') provided at one side (eg, lower left) of an automobile steering wheel. You can do
일반적으로 상기 라이트 스위치(22)(즉, 자동차용 레버 스위치)는 핸들의 조향축(20) 상부에 지지간(21)에 의하여 상하 회동 가능하게 설치되며, 상기 지지간(21) 상에는 포그 램프와 상향등 및 전조등의 점등과 소등을 제어하는 조작 노브(24)가 좌우 방향으로 회동 가능하게 결합된 구조로 이루어진다. 한편, 상기 라이트 스위치(22)는 예컨대, 상기 포그 램프의 점등 및 소등을 제어하는 조작 노브(24)의 외표면에 다수의 돌기(23)가 일정 간격으로 돌설될 수 있다.In general, the light switch 22 (that is, the lever switch for the vehicle) is installed on the steering shaft 20 of the steering wheel so as to be rotatable up and down by the support shaft 21, and the fog lamp is mounted on the support shaft 21. The operation knob 24 for controlling the turning on and off of the high beam and the headlamp is configured to be rotatably coupled in the left and right directions. On the other hand, the light switch 22, for example, a plurality of projections 23 may be projected at regular intervals on the outer surface of the operation knob 24 for controlling the lighting and turning off of the fog lamp.
상기 라이트 스위치(22)를 표시된 방향으로 이동시킬 경우 한쪽 방향으로는 상향등이 고정적으로 점등되는 상향등 고정 스위치가 동작하며, 다른 쪽 방향으로는 상향등이 임시로 점등되도록 스프링 작용에 의해 라이트 스위치(22)가 원 위치 되도록 구현된다.When the light switch 22 is moved in the indicated direction, an upward light fixing switch in which the upward light is fixedly turned on in one direction is operated, and in the other direction, the light switch 22 is operated by a spring action so that the upward light is temporarily turned on. Is implemented to be in place.
이때, 일반적으로 운전자는 위험 상황에서 주변 차량에게 경고를 주기 위해 상기 라이트 스위치(22)를 상향등 임시 스위치 방향으로 조작을 하게 되며, 상기 상향등 임시 스위치 방향으로 조작할 경우, 라이트 스위치(22)가 원 위치되기 때문에 상기 방향으로 여러 번 동작하여 상향등을 빠르게 수차례 점멸시킴으로써 주변 차량에게 경고를 주게 된다.In this case, in general, the driver operates the light switch 22 in the direction of the upward light temporary switch to warn the surrounding vehicle in a dangerous situation, and when the driver operates in the direction of the upward light temporary switch, the light switch 22 may be Because of its location, it operates several times in this direction to quickly flash the high beam several times to warn nearby vehicles.
그러나, 본 발명에서는 상기 라이트 스위치(22)를 상향등 임시 스위치 방향으로 1회만 조작하더라도 미리 설정된 횟수만큼 수차례 빠르게 점멸되도록 구현된다.However, in the present invention, even if the light switch 22 is operated only once in the direction of the upward light temporary switch, the light switch 22 is implemented to blink rapidly several times.
이하, 도 3을 참조하여, 상기 라이트 스위치(22) 조작에 따라 상향등의 점멸을 제어하기 위한 자동차 상향등 제어 장치를 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 3, a vehicle uplight control apparatus for controlling the blinking of a high beam according to the manipulation of the light switch 22 will be described in detail.
도 3은 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 자동차 상향등 제어 장치의 세부 구조를 나타내는 블록도이다. 도 3을 참조하면, 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 자동차 상향등 제어 장치는 모드 설정부(321), 스위칭 검출부(322), 점멸 제어부(323) 등을 포함하여 구성될 수 있다.3 is a block diagram showing a detailed structure of a vehicle uplight control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the apparatus for controlling vehicle uplights according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a mode setting unit 321, a switching detector 322, a flashing controller 323, and the like.
상기 모드 설정부(321)는 본 발명의 실시예에 따라 각종 상향등 점멸 모드 및/또는 점멸 횟수 등을 설정하게 된다. 예컨대, 점멸 횟수를 3회로 설정할 경우, 상기 라이트 스위치(22)를 상향등 임시 스위치 방향으로 1회 조작할 경우, 상향등이 3회 빠르게 점멸되도록 한다. 또한, 설정되는 점멸 모드에 따라 경음기가 눌러졌을 때에도 상향등이 빠르게 점멸되도록 할 수 있으며, 다른 설정 모드에 따라 브레이크가 눌러졌을 경우에도 상향등이 빠르게 점멸되도록 할 수 있다. 또 다른 설정 모드에 따라 상기 상향등 뿐만 아니라 브레이크등이 빠르게 점멸되도록 구현할 수도 있다.The mode setting unit 321 sets various upward lamp blinking modes and / or the number of flashes according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, when the number of flashes is set to three times, when the light switch 22 is operated once in the direction of the upward light temporary switch, the upward light blinks three times quickly. In addition, according to the flashing mode is set up, the high light may flash quickly even when the horn is pressed, and even when the brake is pressed in accordance with another setting mode can be made to flash rapidly. According to another setting mode, not only the upward lamp but also the brake lamp may be implemented to blink rapidly.
스위칭 검출부(322)는 라이트 스위치(310)로부터 특정 스위치가 온(On) 되었을 경우 이를 검출하는 기능을 수행한다. 특히, 본 발명의 실시예에 따라 라이트 스위치의 상향등 패스 스위치가 임시(315) 방향으로 눌러졌을 경우, 이를 검출하여 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 동작을 수행한다.The switching detector 322 detects when a specific switch is turned on from the light switch 310. In particular, when the uplight path switch of the light switch is pressed in the direction of the temporary 315 according to the embodiment of the present invention, it detects this and performs the operation according to the embodiment of the present invention.
한편, 라이트 스위치(310)는 전체 오프(311), 미등 온(312), 전조등 온(313), 상향등 패스(314)의 임시(315) 방향, 고정 방향(316) 등의 상태 신호를 출력시킨다.On the other hand, the light switch 310 outputs the state signals such as the total off 311, the tail light on 312, the headlight on 313, the temporary 315 direction of the high beam path 314, the fixed direction 316, etc. .
따라서, 상술한 바와 같이 라이트 스위치(310)의 상향등 패스(314)를 임시(315) 방향으로 1회 조작할 경우, 상기 조작된 신호가 스위칭 검출부(322)로 전송되며, 상기 스위칭 검출부(322)에서는 상기 조작된 신호를 수신하여 이를 검출하고 점멸 제어부(323)로 제공한다.Therefore, as described above, when the upper light path 314 of the light switch 310 is operated once in the temporary 315 direction, the manipulated signal is transmitted to the switching detector 322, and the switching detector 322. Receives the manipulated signal, detects it, and provides the same to the flashing controller 323.
점멸 제어부(323)에서는 스위칭 검출부(322)로부터 신호를 수신함으로써 상향등 패스(314)가 임시(315) 방향으로 조작된 것을 인지한다. 이때, 상기 점멸 제어부(323)는 상기 모드 설정부(321)의 설정된 모드에 따라 상향등(340)을 설정된 횟수만큼 빠르게 점멸시키거나 브레이크등(350)을 설정된 횟수만큼 빠르게 점멸시킨다.The flashing control unit 323 receives the signal from the switching detection unit 322 to recognize that the upward light path 314 has been operated in the temporary 315 direction. At this time, the flashing control unit 323 flashes the high lamp 340 as fast as the set number of times or flashes the brake light 350 as fast as the set number of times according to the mode set by the mode setting unit 321.
또한, 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따라 상기 점멸 제어부(323)는 브레이크 감지부(360)로부터 브레이크 온 신호를 수신하고, 상기 브레이크 온 신호에 따라 상향등(340)을 미리 설정된 횟수만큼 빠르게 점멸시키거나 브레이크등(350)을 설정된 횟수만큼 빠르게 점멸시킨다.In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the flashing control unit 323 receives a brake on signal from the brake detecting unit 360 and flashes the high beam 340 in a predetermined number of times according to the brake on signal. Brake light 350 blinks quickly a set number of times.
이때, 상향등 패스(314)가 임시(315) 방향으로 조작됨과 아울러, 브레이크 온 신호가 수신되었을 경우에는 급박한 상황일 가능성이 높으므로, 브레이크 온 신호가 수신되지 않았을 경우와는 다른 모드로 동작하도록 구현할 수 있다. 예컨대, 상향등(340) 및 브레이크등(350)이 동시에 빠르게 점멸하도록 하거나 점멸 속도를 더 빠르게 하거나 점멸 횟수를 증가시키거나 경적음을 동시에 울리도록 구현할 수도 있다.In this case, since the high-light path 314 is operated in the direction of the temporary 315 and the break-on signal is received, it is likely that the emergency situation is urgent, so that it operates in a different mode than when the break-on signal is not received. Can be implemented. For example, the high light 340 and the brake light 350 may be implemented to blink at the same time, or to make the blinking speed faster, increase the number of blinks, or sound the horn simultaneously.
또한, 본 발명의 또 다른 실시예에 따라 상기 점멸 제어부(323)는 경적 제어 신호를 수신하고, 상기 경적 제어 신호에 따라 상향등(340)을 미리 설정된 횟수만큼 빠르게 점멸시키거나 브레이크등(350)을 설정된 횟수만큼 빠르게 점멸시킨다. 이때, 상기 경적 제어 신호가 온 되면 경적음 발생부(370)에서는 기본적으로 스피커(380)를 통해 경적음을 울리게 된다.In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the flashing control unit 323 receives a horn control signal, and according to the horn control signal flashes the upper lamp 340 a predetermined number of times or turns the brake lamp 350 in advance. Blinks as fast as set number of times. At this time, when the horn control signal is turned on, the horn sound generator 370 basically sounds the horn through the speaker 380.
한편, 차량이 정지되었을 경우에는 상술한 바와 같은 상향등(340) 또는 브레이크등(350)의 제어가 불필요할 수 있으므로, 본 발명의 실시예에 따라 점멸 제어부(323)에서는 속도 감지 센서부(330)로부터 속도 정보를 제공받아 차량의 속도에 따라 상향등(340) 또는 브레이크등(350)의 점멸 여부를 결정할 수 있다. 즉, 속도 감지 센서부(330)로부터 수신된 속도 정보에 따라 차량이 정지한 것으로 판단할 경우 상기 점멸 제어부(323)에서는 스위칭 검출부(322)로부터 상향등 패스(314)의 임시(315) 방향 조작 신호를 수신하더라도 상향등(340) 및/또는 브레이크등(350)을 점멸시키지 않을 수 있다. 이에 대한 상세한 제어 방법은 후술하기로 한다.Meanwhile, when the vehicle is stopped, the control of the upward lamp 340 or the brake lamp 350 as described above may not be necessary, and according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the blink control unit 323 uses the speed sensor unit 330. The speed information may be received from the high light 340 or the brake light 350 according to the speed of the vehicle. That is, when it is determined that the vehicle is stopped according to the speed information received from the speed sensor unit 330, the flashing control unit 323 controls the temporary 315 direction operation signal of the upward light path 314 from the switching detector 322. Even if receiving the upper lamp 340 and / or the brake light 350 may not flash. A detailed control method thereof will be described later.
이하, 도 4 내지 도 6을 참조하여 본 발명의 실시예들에 따른 자동차 상향등 제어 절차를 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, a vehicle uplight control procedure according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.
도 4는 본 발명의 제1 실시예에 따른 자동차 상향등 제어 절차를 나타내는 흐름도이다. 도 4를 참조하면, 먼저 상기 모드 설정부(321) 등에 의해 상향등 연동 모드가 설정(S401)되었을 경우, 상향등 패스(314)의 임시 방향 조작이 감지(S402)되면, 차량 속도 정보를 확인한다. 상기 확인 결과, 차량이 운행 중인 것으로 판단(S403)될 경우, 본 발명의 실시예에 따라 상향등을 설정된 횟수만큼(바람직하게는, 2회 내지 4회) 빠르게 점멸(S404)시킨다. 아울러, 본 발명의 실시예에 따라 브레이크등을 설정된 횟수만큼 빠르게 점멸(S405)시킬 수도 있다. 또한, 상기 상향등과 브레이크등을 동시에 설정된 횟수만큼 빠르게 점멸시키는 것도 가능하다.4 is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle uplight control procedure according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, first, when the high-light interlocking mode is set by the mode setting unit 321 or the like (S401), when the temporary direction manipulation of the high-light path 314 is detected (S402), the vehicle speed information is checked.
