Definitions

  • the object of the present invention relates to a device related to road safety designed to be preferably installed in electric vehicles in order to announce their presence to people who are on their way with the potential danger of being overwhelmed, sometimes because they are treated of subjects with deficiencies in the sense of vision or hearing and on other occasions by simple distraction.
  • the inventor considers this idea interesting as a result of the proliferation of fully electric or hybrid-type vehicles that, gradually, are incorporated into the mobile park of urban centers with the peculiarity that they are practically silent in the first case or when they circulate in mode electric for hybrid vehicles.
  • Automotive technology is developing rapidly both in terms of propulsion and self-control means and in relation to signaling devices that make it easier for vehicles to be "seen” by others.
  • a series of vehicles equipped with two types of engines a traditional explosion and an electric one, are being incorporated into the circulatory flow. In most models, it comes into operation at reduced speeds, of the order of 50 km / h. Even the technology is advancing so much that there are already fully electric tourism vehicles and this process continues its course so the number of vehicles of this type will increase progressively and unstoppably.
  • the author of the present invention considers that the recent generation of vehicles powered by electric motors implies the appearance of a new danger that should be reduced, if possible, with means that allow vehicles that circulate in electric mode "to be heard" by the citizens Therefore, it proposes the solution presented in this document that is a novelty applicable to the mobile park circulating anywhere and especially in urban centers where the danger is manifested to a greater extent.
  • the present invention refers to a warning device incorporated in vehicles to take action when they circulate in electric mode and certain previous assumptions are met.
  • the alarm is linked to the on-board computer of the car that activates the device when, in electric mode, its speed is less than about thirty kilometers per hour or any other preset in the programming.
  • the activation speed will be adjustable to fit the one set by the competent authority, since it is obvious that it must be formally included in the regulations of the traffic code, since it is an aspect that affects traffic in general and its official regulations.
  • the warning will remain silent while the vehicle is traveling at speeds above the preset limit but when the car reduces its speed below that value, the acoustic warning will be activated emitting a sound that can be, in principle, of two types.
  • a first type corresponds to a synthesized sound identical to that emitted by an explosion engine of the usual ones.
  • a second type corresponds to a special sound of single, bitonal, arpeggiated or any other frequency that pedestrians can identify with an electric traction vehicle.
  • the inventor conceives that different acoustic signals are emitted depending on the type of vehicle so that the pedestrian can distinguish whether it is a tourist vehicle, a heavy vehicle (truck, bus), a motorcycle or of a bicycle all of which can even be complemented with luminous identification signals.
  • the inventor proposes that they be associated with speed because, although in large cities there is, by regulation, a maximum speed that should not be exceeded, it is useful that an extraordinary speed is announced on the front of the vehicle that can be dangerous for people who must cross public roads.

  • the detection module (1) is formed by a plurality of sensors (10) installed in the front and in the rear. (Figs. 2 and 3)
  • the sensors (10) are ultrasonic of the transmitter / receiver type to detect preferably existing persons in front of the electric vehicle (9). As soon as this happens, a signal is sent to the processor (4).
  • the sensors (10), rear can be of the infrared type that cover shorter distances which is sufficient if we take into account that the reverse speeds are normally little.

  • the processor (4) continuously receives the speed inputs either forward or backward.
  • the GPS module (3) is included to detect the position of the electric vehicle (9) on the highway or in urban environments. Depending on the actual situation of the vehicle, signals are sent that are sent to the processor (4).
  • the acoustic synthesizer (5) is responsible for generating the acoustic signals to be emitted by the electric vehicle (9) according to the driver's preferences or as regulated by the competent authority. The sound emitted can respond to the usual of internal combustion engines or to a special sound of single, bitonal, arpeggiated frequency or any other that unequivocally identifies the electric vehicle (9). Synthesized sounds are sent to the sound transducer (6) when ordered by the processor (4).

  • the tricolor LED panel (8) receives orders from the optical module (7) and illuminates with the color corresponding to the case to be announced, being able to be of continuous or intermittent light.
  • the color emitted and the rate of its flashes is related to the proximity to the possible person interposed in the trajectory so that, by way of example, the ignition sequence goes from yellow to red as the distance to the obstacle decreases being also the frequency of flashes inversely proportional to said distance.
  • All modules are related to the processor (4) that is programmed to decide the type of signal to be emitted. It is understood that the activation of the device makes no sense on the road, so the processor (4), informed through the GPS module (3), will leave the device out of service.
  • the processor (4) receives said information from the GPS module (3) and activates the security warning of the invention. Under these conditions, the processor (4) activates the optical module (7) by illuminating the corresponding LEDs according to the type of vehicle and other conditioning parameters, waiting to receive inputs from the kinematic module (2) because if the speed is higher than 30 km / h, acoustic activation is not applicable. If, on the other hand, the speed is less than 30 km / h, the electric vehicle (9) emits the corresponding acoustic signal, through the sound transducer (6), as long as the processor (4) receives inputs from the power module. detection (1) through the sensors (10) by the existence of someone in front of the vehicle.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un avertisseur de sécurité pour véhicules électriques comprenant des éléments reliés entre eux et installés dans le véhicule électrique (9), qui consistent en un module de détection (1) avec capteurs (10), un module cinématique (2), un module GPS (3), un processeur (4), un synthétiseur acoustique (5) avec transducteur sonore (6), un module optique (7) avec un panneau de DEL tricolore. Le processeur (4) reçoit des entrées du module de détection (1), du module cinématique (2) et du module GPS (3) ordonnant des sorties qui alimentent le transducteur sonore (6) par l'intermédiaire du synthétiseur acoustique (5) ainsi que le panneau de DEL tricolore (8) par l'intermédiaire du module optique (7). Le module de détection (1) est de type ultrasonore avec des capteurs (10) d'émission et de réception au niveau de la partie avant du véhicule et de type infrarouge au niveau de la partie arrière. Il est activé dans des zones urbaines à des vitesses inférieures à 30 km/h, ou de n'importe quelle autre manière prédéfinie. Le synthétiseur acoustique (5) peut générer des sons semblables à ceux des moteurs à combustion interne habituels. Le module optique (7) gère le type de lumière que le panneau de DEL tricolore (8) doit émettre en modifiant le type de couleur et le scintillement en fonction de la proximité de personnes ou d'obstacles. Le conducteur peut annuler son automatisme en l'activant ou en le désactivant à volonté.
