Description

DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
DISPOSITIVO DE AVISO DE PEATONES PARA VEHÍCULOS OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN PEDESTRIAN WARNING DEVICE FOR VEHICLES OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo incorporado en vehículos, para avisar y alertar mediante luces y sonido a otros conductores de la presencia de peatones, ciclistas, etc., cruzando la vía. The present invention refers to a device incorporated in vehicles, to warn and alert other drivers by means of lights and sound of the presence of pedestrians, cyclists, etc., crossing the road.
Viene a resolver el problema hasta ahora no resuelto de la falta de visibilidad en vías con más de un carril en el mismo sentido, donde los vehículos situados en el carril más alejado de la acera o punto de inicio por donde cruzan peatones y viandantes, en el cual, estos no pueden ser vistos, debido a que otro vehículo se encuentra en la diagonal entre ellos y el vehículo del citado carril más alejado. Es entonces cuando este vehículo que obstaculiza la visión activa el dispositivo, indicando con sus luces y sonidos que alguien se encuentra cruzando la vía transversalmente y el conductor del vehículo sin visibilidad lo interprete y frene, esté regulado el paso mediante paso de cebra, semáforo o sin ningún medio de regulación. It solves the hitherto unresolved problem of lack of visibility on roads with more than one lane in the same direction, where vehicles located in the lane furthest from the sidewalk or starting point where pedestrians and pedestrians cross, in which, these cannot be seen, because another vehicle is in the diagonal between them and the vehicle of the aforementioned lane farthest. It is then when this vehicle that obstructs vision activates the device, indicating with its lights and sounds that someone is crossing the road transversely and the driver of the vehicle without visibility interprets it and brakes it, the passage is regulated by means of a zebra crossing, traffic light or without any means of regulation.
Además, en muchos casos, los vehículos situados en el carril más cercano a la acera ni siquiera están circulando, sino que están parados por cualquier otro motivo distinto al ceder el paso a peatones que quieran cruzar, pues bien pueden estar descargando, parado por emergencia u otra situación, que podría hacer creer a los conductores que sí circulan por otro carril que no está pasando ningún peatón cuando en realidad sí puede que estén haciéndolo. In addition, in many cases, the vehicles located in the lane closest to the pavement are not even circulating, but are stopped for any other reason than to give way to pedestrians who want to cross, as they may well be unloading, stopped for an emergency or another situation, which could lead drivers who are traveling in another lane to believe that no pedestrians are passing when in fact they may be.
El dispositivo se activa de forma automática a partir de radio detección, sensores volumétricos, de presencia o movimiento que ya llevan instalados los vehículos de última generación que detectan personas, obstáculos y objetos peligrosos en movimiento y detienen o ayudan a la frenada del vehículo (fácilmente instalable en aquellos que no lo tienen), y también se puede activar manualmente, similar al botón de luces de emergencia (warning). The device is activated automatically from radio detection, volumetric sensors, presence or movement already installed in the latest generation vehicles that detect people, obstacles and dangerous objects in motion and stop or help the braking of the vehicle (easily installable in those that do not have it), and it can also be activated manually, similar to the emergency lights button (warning).
La presente invención propone dotar a los vehículos, principalmente a aquellos de gran tamaño y envergadura (autobuses, camiones, etc.), de estos dispositivos emisores de luz y sonido llamativos en puntos estratégicos de los mismos como puede ser la parte trasera y aletas delanteras o retrovisores, para el aviso y señalización de peatones, ciclistas y animales cruzando la vía. The present invention proposes to provide vehicles, mainly those of large size and wingspan (buses, trucks, etc.), with these devices Striking light and sound emitters at strategic points of the same, such as the rear and front wings or rear-view mirrors, for the warning and signaling of pedestrians, cyclists and animals crossing the road.
La aplicación industrial de esta invención se encuentra dentro del sector de dispositivos y equipos de prevención de accidentes, y más concretamente, dispositivo de aviso de peatones para vehículos. The industrial application of this invention is within the sector of accident prevention devices and equipment, and more specifically, pedestrian warning device for vehicles.

Although no invention identical to that described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related thereto.
Así el documento ES1018413U hace referencia a un aparato avisador acústico para invidentes, que comprende un dispositivo emisor de radiofrecuencia accionable por el usuario y un dispositivo receptor de las señales emitidas por el emisor, cuyo dispositivo receptor emite un sonido que puede ser percibido por el usuario, que el dispositivo emisor comprende un par de pulsadores, un primer pulsador para emitir una señal para localización y un segundo pulsador para el accionamiento de un semáforo, y el dispositivo receptor emite un tono característico del lugar en el que está instalado que permite la identificación de dicho lugar, y un tono también característico correspondiente a la luz verde en un semáforo. El citado modelo de utilidad se refiere a un aparato acústico para invidentes, donde un dispositivo emisor envía señales a un receptor que emite un sonido para ser percibido por el usuario, por lo que la relación con la invención principal no es tan fuerte como para afectar a su novedad o actividad inventiva. Thus, document ES1018413U refers to an acoustic warning device for the blind, which comprises a radio frequency emitting device that can be operated by the user and a receiver device for the signals emitted by the emitter, whose receiving device emits a sound that can be perceived by the user. , that the emitting device comprises a pair of pushbuttons, a first pushbutton to emit a signal for location and a second pushbutton for the actuation of a traffic light, and the receiving device emits a characteristic tone of the place where it is installed that allows the identification of that place, and also a characteristic tone corresponding to the green light in a traffic light. The aforementioned utility model refers to an acoustic device for the blind, where an emitting device sends signals to a receiver that emits a sound to be perceived by the user, so the relationship with the main invention is not so strong as to affect to its novelty or inventive step.
ES2008456A6 describe una señal luminosa marcadora o indicadora de aviso de riesgo, que comprende: un tubo de luz alargado en cuya pared va incorporada una región translúcida; una unidad de lámpara que puede ser recibida dentro del tubo y alineable con la región translúcida de la pared del tubo; una unidad de montura de base para soportar el tubo de luz en una orientación deseada, y para alojar una fuente de alimentación de energía para la unidad de lámpara; un cono amovible periférico de base que protege una porción inferior del tubo de luz y la unidad de montura de base para el mismo. En este caso se describe una señal luminosa, pero no se describe ningún sensor asociado para la activación automática prevista en situaciones de potencial accidente por atropello, en aquellos vehículos que obstaculizan la visión de otros, como hace la invención principal. ES2008456A6 describes a risk warning marker or indicator light signal, comprising: an elongated light tube in the wall of which a translucent region is incorporated; a lamp unit receivable within the tube and alignable with the translucent region of the tube wall; a base mount unit for supporting the light tube in a desired orientation, and for housing a power source for the lamp unit; a removable peripheral base cone that protects a lower portion of the light tube and base mount unit for the same. In this case, a light signal is described, but no associated sensor is described for the automatic activation foreseen in situations of potential collision accident, in those vehicles that obstruct the vision of others, as the main invention does.
ES1070174U propone un dispositivo piezoeléctrico de iluminación de pasos de cebra con contador opcional de paso de vehículos destinado a señalizar la presencia de peatones cuando estos atraviesan un paso de cebra que comprende: una fuente de alimentación que consiste en unas baldosas de configuración rectangular constituidas por un mecanismo que transforma la presión que ejerce la pisada del peatón en corriente eléctrica, un medio de recepción, localizado en una arqueta situada en la vía pública que a la recepción de una determinada señal activa la fuente luminosa que corresponda, una o más fuentes luminosas soportadas sobre una carcasa situada en la calzada. El dispositivo piezoeléctrico de iluminación al que se refiere el citado documento se activa por presión de un viandante a la hora de cruzar un paso de cebra, sin embargo, la solución que propone la invención principal puede emplearse no solo en pasos de cebra sino en cualquier otra situación en la que un vehículo sobrepasa a otro y no tiene visibilidad suficiente frente a peatones u objetos en movimiento que crucen la vía en cualquier tramo, al estar incorporado el dispositivo en los propios vehículos. ES1070174U proposes a piezoelectric device for lighting zebra crossings with an optional counter for the passage of vehicles designed to signal the presence of pedestrians when they cross a zebra crossing that includes: a power supply consisting of rectangular-shaped tiles made up of a a mechanism that transforms the pressure exerted by the footfall of the pedestrian into electric current, a reception means, located in a manhole located on the public road that, upon receipt of a certain signal, activates the corresponding light source, one or more supported light sources on a carcass located on the road. The piezoelectric lighting device referred to in the aforementioned document is activated by pressure from a pedestrian when crossing a zebra crossing, however, the solution proposed by the main invention can be used not only in zebra crossings but in any Another situation in which one vehicle overtakes another and does not have sufficient visibility in front of pedestrians or moving objects that cross the road in any section, as the device is incorporated in the vehicles themselves.
W02007051268A2 reivindica una luz de seguridad frontal para vehículos de motor, hecha de un material de PVC en el mismo color del techo del automóvil, y por sus líneas de leds horizontales amarillos, según las necesidades del conductor, según el tamaño del parabrisas Los leds superiores son amarillos mientras señalan la atención, y los inferiores son verdes, señalando una velocidad lenta y un posible cruce. En este otro caso, el dispositivo de luz de seguridad frontal para el parabrisas no se corresponde con ningún tipo de advertencia para vehículos contiguos, por lo que una vez más no se ve afectada la novedad ni la actividad inventiva de la invención principal. W02007051268A2 claims a front safety light for motor vehicles, made of a PVC material in the same color as the car roof, and by its lines of yellow horizontal LEDs, according to the driver's needs, according to the size of the windshield The upper LEDs They are yellow while signaling attention, and the lower ones are green, signaling a slow speed and a possible crossing. In this other case, the front safety light device for the windshield does not correspond to any kind of warning for adjoining vehicles, so once again the novelty and inventive step of the main invention are not affected.
Conclusiones: Como se desprende de la investigación realizada, ninguno de los documentos encontrados soluciona los problemas planteados como lo hace la invención propuesta. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solves the problems posed as the proposed invention does. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El dispositivo de aviso de peatones, ciclistas, animales, etc. para vehículos objeto de la presente invención se constituye a partir de una serie de pilotos o elementos emisores de luz, y sonido, situados en puntos estratégicos de vehículos de grandes dimensiones, aunque también se puede extrapolar a cualquier tipo de vehículo, como puede ser la parte trasera (uno por lateral), y complementariamente otro juego más de emisores en la parte delantera del vehículo, a la altura de las aletas delanteras o retrovisores. The warning device for pedestrians, cyclists, animals, etc. for vehicles that are the object of the present invention, it is made up of a series of lights or light and sound emitting elements, located in strategic points of large vehicles, although it can also be extrapolated to any type of vehicle, such as the rear part (one per side), and in addition another set of emitters at the front of the vehicle, at the height of the front wings or rear-view mirrors.
Dichos dispositivos o pilotos se encienden con luz intensa e intermitente para llamar aún más la atención, principalmente en color blanco brillante, ya que es un color de luz que no existe de forma intermitente en vehículos, por lo que llama la atención además de ofrecer un nuevo tipo de información, distinto al de las luces tradicionales, como es el paso de personas, animales y objetos cruzando la vía, aunque se podría aplicar otro color. Said devices or lights come on with intense and intermittent light to draw even more attention, mainly in bright white, since it is a color of light that does not exist intermittently in vehicles, so it draws attention in addition to offering a new type of information, different from traditional lights, such as the passage of people, animals and objects crossing the road, although another color could be applied.
El dispositivo activa las luces y el sonido de los citados pilotos a partir de radio detección, sensores volumétricos, de presencia o movimiento que detectan personas, obstáculos y objetos peligrosos en movimiento, ya usados para detener o ayudar a la frenada del vehículo, que ahora se complementan con esta nueva utilidad objeto de la presente invención, para avisar a otros vehículos del peligro de accidente potencial. Igualmente se podría activar manualmente, de forma similar al botón de luces de emergencia (warning).
